The default setting was set on GSM/WCDMA.

I have a rogers S3 so I changed the setting to LTE/GSM/WCDMA. It was working for a bit then my mobile data completely crapped out and i was only able to make voice calls. I switched it back to GSM/WCDMA and it works, however, the speeds are much slower compared to LTE.

Im not even sure if I was getting LTE at all at the LTE/GSM/WCDMA setting... since the phone only diplays 3g/H+ on the signal bar, it does not say LTE.

I checked the phones status and it did say LTE:3 when i was set on LTE, however, this is when the data was not working and the phone said not connected to network.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deoxlar:
Set it to lte in the apn section and then reset your phone.

4g symbol is Lte speed

So I must have gotten a defect because when I went to take off the case yesterday to check to see if there was dirt under it this happened.

(It separated into two pieces)

Contacted google and they are replacing it for me. I was really confused when this happened lol. Has anybody else had issues with the bumper?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DrakeSlayer:
lol i think its supposed to be like that
[Nexus 4 Accessories] heat361:
Its not broken just put the two pieces back together
[Nexus 4 Accessories] _Epic:
I have the bumper for the Optimus G and its like the Nexus 4. It comes apart like that...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tuanster1119:
Did you even bother tying to put it back together?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] phobium:
I shudder to think how long it took you to put the bumper on

I can't really tell if this is serious or not. It comes off like that, just put the aluminum part around the plastic. Problem solved...if you can even call it a problem:what:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] damon7620:
No its not supposed to come apart like that. It's heavy duty double sided taped together and it came apart. If I put it back together the plastic falls off while the phone is in my pocket. Also when I called google the guy said its not supposed to come apart EVER! So no I'm not trolling but thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] damon7620:
Also the power button fell off of the plastic so thats pretty cool.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noodles2224:
its suppose to come apart..

lol yeah its definitely not supposed to come apart.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Correct, it does not come apart. I had two of them and both were pretty much solid, meaning not apart.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Skillfulshoe:
It seems to be that many people are confused on whether it comes apart or not. I, for one, would not want a product that falls apart in such a way and I, too, would make Google replace it.

Nothing we didn't know but. I was so dissapointed I wrote samsung to tell them UNACCEPTABLE. As I'm sure you know . Samsungs mtp mass storage doesn't interface with linux. I was reading some fixes and I atleast got the drives to mount from the phone installing MTP libs but any transfer too or from results in error. So I just wanted to share samsungs response. Basically.... " Sorry pal . we doubt were ever going to fix this . Pound sand "

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] baka2x:
Sorry, I can't even find it on the play store. I just restored it from a TB I had on my GNEX.

Try searching XDA for an official apk of swiFTP or try another ftp app on the play store. I saw a couple highly rated ones that are free.

there is a solution for mass storage its on http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html have not tested it yet though.I am using airdroid and chromium since I need stable ac power while sharing the data connection.the issiue is because of Android, but samsung could have been done something I agree

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aFoodStampBaby:
Is there a way you can edit it manually in editprop and setting the vaules. I believe it will stick that way
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Nope. It won't. Again I'm looking for someone with hboot 2.09 to test this and see if they get the same results?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aestivalisakito:
If you can do me a favor and upload the zip u r using with JUST the build.prop with your adjustments and I will flash it. I am on h-boot 2.09 w/s-off.

Ill give it a shot :) I have really really terrible speeds anyway so if this improves it ill ..... Well just upload the zip lol.

Edit: Nvm on uploading the flashable buil.prop. I edited the one for the meanbean v1.0 update. Flashed the new Rom with the edited build.prop. the settings stuck. Have rebooted twice. Build.prop still good to go. Ran a speedtest (mind you this is at three in the morning with no-one really using my towers:

Mind you during the day I barely IF I AM LUCKY get 80kbps. Most if the time I get 40 so if I get any consistant in the 100 kbps ill be happy. Ill update with another speedtests throughout the day if I remember.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
So it's confirmed? You too were having the issues of your changes to build.prop not sticking between boots on hboot 2.09? as I said editing the prop in the rom then flashing it seems to be a viable workaround.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Oh and lest anyone think this speed is a freak chance I took this screenshot right now as I'm waiting for my car to warm up to leave work
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aestivalisakito:
I dunno if this is an hboot thing though. I remember that t-mobile had done things a couple years ago that caused something similiar. So sprint may be pulling the same thing. But yeah I was having a problem with my edits sticking after reboots. Now no problem. Btw you may want to test your speeds on your lunch break at work, because I have gotten higher speeds till about 9am or so then they drop dramatically ill keep testing too. But I just did a test at 0711 am, and hit about the same speed as earlier.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Well the very fact that it pulls the build.prop setting from the ROM on each boot now means it's either:

The rom doing it

Hboot copying it from the rom.

Or something new in JB.

All I'm trying to prove is that someone else with hboot 2.09 has this same issue. you and I are using different roms. I'm using flex360's stock with goodies. You're using meanbean v1.0. So clearly it's not something they baked in. So it's not the rom. It's either JB now (which could easily be disproved by flashing an ICS rom and kernel and retesting) or it's hboot 2.09 saying NO edits to /system can take place. I'm betting on hboot. You stated you're also at hboot 2.09 and flex himself says he has NO issues changing his build.prop in his rom. He's on an older hboot but running 3.25 of stock with goodies. same as me. So what's different between me and flex? hboot. what's the same with you and me? hboot. Simple deductive reasoning.

so I think hboot 2.09 is the problem. Mind you I see that in meanbean v1.0, I see that mikeyxda has changed the /system partition to r/w now at boot. this may eliminate our issue. but then again if it's the hboot it's not going to. this is the purpose of my question and this thread. I'm trying to figure out just how limited our access to /system is now?

oh and during prime time I get about 2mb/s and sometimes it drops to 1.3mb/s at it's slowest. depending on where I am. at 8 pm at my home I pull about 1.6-2.1 mb/s. Not saying this tweak is a miracle cure but to quote my favorite general in the movie wargames "Hell I'd p*ss on a sparkplug if I thought it'd do any good."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
I read somewhere in this forum on a post the ilduce posted that said htc did some wierd ish to the rom that constantly checks for root and messes with things.. He said he was having a hard time trying to get some issues worked out with some things in his rom...

Lol i know its not specific but i tried...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aestivalisakito:
That's great for you unfortunately mine is not even close I am back down to the 80kbps that I was getting before :( it seems rediculous that that much of a variation happens in my area. Checked and my build.prop is the same.

Btw you are missing what I was saying about the carriers being the ones stopping the adjustment. You may want to read up on sum things. 1. There is more similiarities than just hboot, like our radios. Newer radios from carriers such as sprint enable them to access and push settings to your phone without having to ask your permission (read your contract). The other thing is radio's in HTC devices do Mich more than provide reception, they can be hardcoded to allow certain changes and not. I have been dealing with HTC devices since the MDA (wizard) and Olipro taght me how to dissassemble hboots, Rils, and radios. Sorry bud but believe it or not there are more hardcoded similarities than just hboots. Anyway glad your getting good data speeds, I can only hope they figure out the congestion problem in my area.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
I didn't miss that at all. Annnnd despite my "new" status on xda I'm hardly new to HTC or tweaking/flashing/modding phones. I'm aware of changes in radios and the consequences thereof. Still my point is valid. You and I are on hboot 2.09. flex is not. you and I have the same radios because we took the OTA. We have the same issue. Flex does not have the newer radios nor does he have the new hboot. Also the very fact that now when some app tries to write to the system partition (mainly supersu...check chainfire's supersu thread for more info) the phone will now HARD REBOOT and not allow the change. This happens in more than one app. Adfree does it when you try to update the host. System tuner does it when you try and select init.d script as a boot up option.

Sir, I am not trying to say I know more than you. I am not trying to debate with you. I am merely trying to get to the bottom of the new hboot with s-on. I fully respect your knowledge in HTC phones. However I DO 100% believe the new hboot and OK the new FIRMWARE as well...is at least PARTIALLY preventing apps from writing to and saving changes (best case senerio) or REBOOTING the phone (worst case senerio) when there are changes to /system. Heck I've even had it reboot when I did an adb push of a build.prop to the /system partition. So I KNOW it's not the method of writing to the phone it's some weird permission problem/addition to hboot 2.09. I am merely seeking others who are experiencing the same issue. Which you have confirmed is happening to you as well. Mission accomplished. Good luck on your speeds my friend as I saw a noticeable improvement when I made those changes to build.prop.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aestivalisakito:
After looking at my reply I realize now that probably came off as snooty and a "I know more than thou" this was not ny intent and I apologize, like yourself I was trying to present more options. Anywho on a happier note and I do have you to thank for this (btw your new? Says you have been regged since 2008) I am now getting CONSISTANT throughtout the day around 200 kbps. Which compared to my 80 kbps I normally get that's about a 1.5x increase. And considering Saturday's are normally a really fn slow data day for me I like it. Again apologies for the misrepresentation of what I was trying to say and I appreciate your work and hope I helped you in some way. I am going to pull and dissassemble 2.09 hboot and see if I can find evidence of what's going on and if HTC snuck in sum nefarious stuff
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Not a problem. I'm here to learn and help like everyone else. :cyclops:

And yes I registered a long time ago but only began to post recently. Referring to my new status as being a "low poster". Not my actual time here on xda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
I've seen this behavior reported by several people on hboot 2.09. It seems anything written to the system partition is not permanent and will be returned to original state on a reboot. No fix for this yet, but it is being worked on I think.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
correct. so what I did is make my changes to build.prop in the ZIP of the ROM I'm flashing. Then flash the ROM and it sticks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evo bryan:
for the time that looks like your best bet saw some people thinking it may have something to do with s on as well
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aestivalisakito:
It does have to do with s-on my wife's evo 4g lte is at 2.09 hboot is s-on and has all those symptoms I am s-off on hboot 2.09 but I don't suffer these symptoms at all. I am still going through the hboot code, its a lot of crap to go through so bear with me

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] inducekarma:
Awesome!! Thanks for the two threads they really helped me out! I was the idiot who originally rooted my phone when I first bought it and then performed the OTA when JB came out. I of course am s-on as well! Because of both of these threads i was able to root, overclock, and get my wifi tether to work. SUPERUSER SUCKS you have to delete that and put on supersu otherwise no wifi tether. I am using supersu v.99 to get the wifi tether to work and the setting on the tether is generic lan 0. i believe the element oc kernel auto installs superuser and embeds it into the system. This entire process took me way to long. For others in the same boat as me there is hope just follow the directions! Don't forget to download no frills to oc!!!

I have to say there are lots of thing that went backwards in the Jelly Bean update, but battery life seems to be worst. With all location services off, all maps location repoting/history off, the idle drain in low cell signal areas is terrible. Way worse than ICS.

I don't see any abnormal processor usage or wake locks. I think this means the radio is to blame.

Damn am I tired of Samsung/Android updates adding new features but making some things worse. I tried to like Android and defend it. I can't do it anymore. It's sloppy and rushed. I hate it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
I am running stock deodex BLK3 and have had no problems with battery drain. Actually I am getting better than I had on ICS.

Only things done to it are kinda crap mods and removing stock applications. I have GPS on about 50% of the day and hardly ever use wifi.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dohturdima:
IP, download Carat app and see what is draining the battery. I assume you already used BetterBatteryStats and there were no wakelocks? Check if there are any apps that are refreshing at short intervals. The battery drain issue should not be that drastic. From my experience, I was completely stock ICS (bloat and all) until the JB update. Right now I am unlocked, rooted and debloated but still stock - and battery life is only slightly worse (VZW remote diagnostics were also disabled). If nothing else works, then wipe/ODIN to stock and see if things are different then.

I had terrible batt life after updating to JB. On ICS i would get 1% loss each hour when idle, right after the update it was more like 10% each hour. I ended up reading thru tons of posts not only for sgs3 but other phones updating to JB and having batt problems. So i factory reset and formated the sd card then put my files back on it. Then i finally found a post where it was stated that if you have a lot of media either on phone or sd the system will have to index each file, for thumbnails, quicker pinch zoom in gallery etc. That kept my phone awake and killing the battery for a good 12+ hours after the update. Today it finally ended. I am now 24 hours off the charger with 89% batt remaining, making it about .4% discharge per hour. I know this wont solve everyone's problems with the battery drain but maybe it will help some. GL!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite818:
I see a big difference for me with the battery between ICS and Jellybean rom. I was on Bean's custom stock build 15 originally and with medium - med heavy use, I see about 15-20% remaining battery after 10+ hours of use. With the new Bean's jelly rom b7, I need to charge before 10 hours with the type of same usage. This morning, I saw a 12% drain in 20 minutes for checking facebook/instagram and some email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SotYPL:
That's not true. If you have good LTE coverage it uses less power than WiFi. I have confirmed this checking power consumption with Battery Monitor Widget Pro. I'm losing ~22 mV every 10 minutes with WiFi turned off and pretty good LTE coverage (-100 dBm) and ~28 mV with WiFi on. When there is poor coverage WiFi will be better choice of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bcurtiswx:
I will keep that in mind. Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
With Wi-Fi the signal is right there no sharing with millions of ppl no searching for signal, with 4g you'll use more power.I've done test with both and my 4g is great but still Wi-Fi uses less examples 4g great signal maybe 12-18hrs battery moderate use...Wi-Fi 1 day 9 hrs same usage.you do the math :)
