[LG Optimus 2x] LegendaryUser:
Alright, so no dilly dally, just getting down to business.

I received a 2x (P990hn) that had been locked to fido, under the premise that I'd just unlock it.

I was going to do that, but for some reason, I decided to install the newest possible cm (10.1) and it worked. My 2x is running 4.1.2 almost flawlessly, but there is one huge flaw which is just killing me. I had clockworkmod installed to flash 4.1.2, but I uninstalled it, so that I could attempt to reinstall stock onto my phone, so that I could shove my foreing sim in and unlock it (more on this in a sec)

I can only get my telus (this is the sim that I'm paying for right now) sim to work if I'm connected to wifi.

Otherwise, it says I'm connected on the lock screen (bottom of screen will have TELUS), but my signal strength will be gray, and upon sliding my notification bar down, it'll say no internet access. I won't be able to text, use browser, use the phone as a phone, or use skype.

If I only have wifi on, I can use the browser, but I can't use the phone as a phone, text, or use skype.

Everything works perfectly if I'm connected to wifi and a tower.

__________________________________________________________________

Minor issues

-no APNs will ever stay saved, and if I plug the fido sim that came with the phone in, it'll find the fido APNs, but it won't be able to connect to any network

-I have to manually click automatically connect every time I reboot my phone, to connect to telus, otherwise, it won't connect automatically.

-if I try to open the hidden menu (*1809#*990*) it'll say "Connection problem or invalid MMI code." however, the code for finding my IMEI (*#06#) works fine.

What do I do? I've tried to take it back to stock, but to no avail. I tried tie KDZ file method, but the program always crashes at the point where it says "call fnUpgradeStart"

I don't know what else to do, I've been looking for 3 days now.
[LG Optimus 2x] LegendaryUser:
I tried texting two separate people today on the bus, where I didn't have wifi, and texting worked! However, the invalid mmi problem persisted, and the browser didn't work, nor did gmail syncing. I'm taking my sim to my TELUS store later today, and I'm going to get it replaced, it is two years old.
[LG Optimus 2x] LegendaryUser:
So, I tried phoning my friends cell, and it worked, no connected to wifi. I still can't get internet, but I can text and call, so my problem is no where near as bad as I thought it was.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Smackdog:
I've got an HTC One X that unfortunately has not survived several attempts to tinker with it (screen replacement didn't go as planned). I'd like to attempt to repurpose it. It boots, I can access it via adb. I was hoping that I'd be able to use something like my hdmi out dongle to get some kind of output, but for some reason, it's not working (can't remember if I need to enable it in the software or not). Wondering if there's a way I can either flash some software to the phone, access it via abd to get hdmi working, or some other solution that I haven't thought of. It's currently running some version of CleanRom (can't remember which at the moment) and I can get a screen cast (albeit laggy) from a java app I found floating around the internet.

Any suggestions from the smart folks here?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Smackdog:
This is a pretty good solution. At this point I think I'm just looking to figure out a way to flash a rom that would give me HDMI out by default. I used to be able to flash things via Odin, but that was with my samsung phones. Not sure if there's a similar process for the HTC guys. And also not sure if there's a way to get whatever ROM to output to HDMI without having to mess with settings. Ideas?

Then it might be the fact that my ROM doesn't support it? I'd have no problem flashing back to stock, I just need a way to flash either via adb, or another non-recovery based method.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You can flash roms via adb on some phones via fastboot update if you are HTCDev unlocked. I have not done this nor I have I heard of anyone doing it with a One X. But since your phone is already on life support, what's the harm?

Excellent. I wasn't sure if you could do this with any ol' zipped ROM or if there was a special file format that needed it. I'll give this a go tonight and see if it pans out. Thanks again for the suggestion!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Fastboot won't let you flash any unsigned zips. Ur best bet is to pull the system.img and boot.img from a ruu, then with adb, dd the system.img to dev/block/mmcblk0p33 and boot.img to dev/block/mmcblk0p21, reboot and your back to stock
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Smackdog:
Sorry, don't quite understand what you mean by "dd the *.img files". Could you elaborate?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
For system.img

dd if=/"location of system.img without quotes" of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p33

For boot.IMG

dd if=/"location of boot.img without quotes" of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

I had to do something similar to another device

The screen wouldn't come on, I had to boot into boot and select recovery then used adb shell with similar commands above to set it to stock

This is a tweak I came accross while browsing some threads on xda.What is does is it forces hardware rendering instead of forcing cpu to carry out all the renderings..This is all I know about it.

Tested this out and I noticed slight performance boosts.Games are a bit faster and all those frequent "hiccups" which we experience on tipo are reduced ,if not eliminated.

Works on phones with adreno200 gpus..

ICS already using hardware rendering instead of software rendering for the default setting. you might feel drastic change if you're using GB based rom. however, if you're using ICS based rom you won't feel anything. anyway, if you want to do it in easier way, go to setting>developer option>force gpu for 2d rendering.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] VAMGDroidFan:
Force rendering is essential only for Old apps which don't use GPU. Forcing that will be effective only for those apps.

This will cause GPU to be running all time. Basic graphic tasks are handled by CPU very well. If there are lags then System uses GPU.

There may be slight performance improvement on cost of decreased battery life. So its better to leave it unmarked.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tymko668:
Hello people of XDA - hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I am fairly new to the phone modding scene (had an N1 for the longest time with stock rom) but anyways..

I'm having a few issues with my brand new N4 around tethering with LTE enabled.

Items:

N4 Stock (4.2.1)

N7 Stock (4.2.1 & 4.1.2)

Here's the low down...

Tethering works perfectly with default settings (WCDMA Preferred). Essentially I can tether my N7 and access the internet whenever I have H, 3G, or E wireless signals

While on 4G (LTE), my N7 will connect to the phone but will not be granted internet access. Signal is at full strength for the wifi but it does not turn blue to indicate connection. Inet doesn't work with any program I try to access it with and this happens on both my N7s. (non-LTE tethering works fine).

I am on Roger's LTE network in Canada (and yes, LTE does work on the phone itself. Speed test confirms this... just not on the N7 when tethered...)

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as I am excited to use this device as an LTE tether!!

- Tymko668
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephantom:
It could be a network limitation. I have no issues doing tethering with the N4 to the N7 as well using HSPA down but since I don't have LTE in my area, I can't say the same.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
It might have something to do with the phone not being built to handle LTE. Maybe the LTE chip isnt connected to the transmitter for tethering or something...who knows
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacmert:
I'm experiencing this EXACT same situation. I'm also on Rogers, except instead of trying to tether a Nexus 7, I'm trying to tether my desktop PC via wireless to my Nexus 4.

It seems as long as I'm connected by cellular via HSPA+ (not LTE), I can get a working Internet connection on my desktop. My phone info is set to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), which actually doesn't work if you want to connect to LTE. I've also gotten the tethering to work with WCDMA preferred (3G/HSPA+ connection).

But once I use LTE only or LTE/GSM auto (PRL), and it establishes a 4G (i.e. LTE) connection, the tethering doesn't work anymore.

I have a hunch that Rogers has disabled tethering for LTE connections. I think they have that capability to detect if you're tethering...?

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

By the way, do you know what the default settings are for a Nexus 4 on Rogers for "IMS registration required"? I accidentally toggled that in the Phone Info app, but I can't tell what the original setting was.

Is this the default?

Turn off radio

Turn off IMS registration required

Turn on SMS over IMS

Turn on lte ram dump

Thanks.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_secretary:
Where's your source for this? This sounds like BS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XanSama:
This is simply not true. I have it working right now: tether over LTE on my Nexus4 on Rogers.

If you log in to the phone via ADB and as root (either via "adb root" command, or via "su" from the shell) execute the commands listed here the tethering will work. Test it yourself.

If you want a persistent fix you have two options:

1) If you have a custom kernel installed, create a script in /system/etc/init.d that executes the commands from the post above (don't forget to set the permissions to executable!).

2) Install a program like Script Manager from the market, create a script using the commands from the post above, and tell it to execute the script at startup with root permissions.

Currently I'm running a rooted stock ROM with stock kernel, so I'm using Script Manager, and it's working perfectly.

Here's the script I'm using right now:

#!/system/bin/sh
iptables -A bw_FORWARD -i !lo+
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i rmnet+ -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP -i wlan0 -o rmnet+ -m state --state INVALID
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i wlan0 -o rmnet+
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP
iptables -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -t nat -o rmnet+ -j MASQUERADE
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcrook:
This worked perfectly on mine. Thanks so much!

Any idea how to set the phone to LTE mode on boot so we don't have to jump into that 'hidden' menu?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XanSama:
Glad to help. And yeah, absolutely.

To get it to stick successfully for reboots, there are a couple quick mods you need to make.

Note: To make these mods you need your /system partition to be writeable (RW) not read-only (RO). You can accomplish this with the "mount -ro remount,rw /system" command via ADB or Terminal.

1) In the file "/system/build.prop" you need to:

a) Remove the line that says "telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0"

b) Add a line that says "telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1"

c) Add a line that says "ro.telephony.default_network=9"

d) Add a line that says "ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9"

e) Save the file.

2) In the file "/system/etc/apns-conf.xml" you need to add the following entry above the standard "Rogers" entry (I actually replaced the Chattr Wireless entry with this one):

<apn carrier="Rogers LTE"
mcc="302"
mnc="720"
apn="ltemobile.apn"
port="80"
mmsc="http://mms.gprs.rogers.com"
mmsproxy="10.128.1.69"
type="default,supl,mms"
/>

3) Perform a factory reset on your device. (I know this sucks, but it's required.)

4) Don't ever load the *#*#4636#*#* config menu again; if you do it will revert to WCDMA Preferred until you factory reset again.

I've also attached a zip with my modified build.prop and apns-conf.xml for the stock (but rooted) ROM; as well as my iptables script for good measure. You should just be able to copy these across to their designated locations and then perform steps 3 and 4. Don't forget to make the system partition RW before copying, or it won't work!

Note: Follow the instructions in my last post to use the iprules.sh script if you want to use it.

Note2: Zip is not flashable! Someone could make it flashable, but I'm lazy. For now just extract the files and copy them manually.
