[General Questions and Answers] ivoidwarranty:
By clockwork - do you mean nandroid backup from CWM recovery? If yes, then if you restore from the backup, you'll lose AOKP and go back to your old ROM - which is definitely not what you might want.

For apps backup and restore, you can use any good file explorer like ES File Explorer which would give you app backup manager which take a copy of your apps' apks and let you reinstall in the new ROM, but you'll lose the data like your saved info / game play state, etc. For backup / restore of app data, you should use something like Titanium Backup (Titanium also does the apk backup, so if you plan to use Titanium, you can ignore my File Explorer recommendation) but since you're on 2.3 and AOKP might be 4.x, all the app data might not work on newer version of Android.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Siemex:
Hello!

I installed a few days ago the MIUI rom ported to xperia u for locked bootloaders and is the best rom I ever tryed in this phone (I'm waiting to get more than 10 posts to give the porter my feedback :P) but this version (for locked bootloader) got a few bugs like AD2P or sometimes, the wifi.

My question is, is worth to send to sony the xperia u for unlock my bootloader (that is in unlock bootloader allowed = No) to install the MIUI rom for unlocked bootloaders with a especific kernel?

Sorry for my bad english, is my first time in a English forum =(

Greetings
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
I dont think they would unlock the bootloader for you.........

whereas you can check out this thread for the steps to unlock your bootloader........

I hope you will get the bugs fixed if someone has reported it to the dev..........
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Siemex:
This method to unlock the bootloader is too dangerous, and I cant let me the phone brick :S. Some people achieve, with the unlock sim code, that sony unlock his phones. I don't lose anything to probe it.

Anyway, thanks for the info, I don't knew that the unlock of the bootloaders that are "not allowed" were so close. :D

I'm so frustrated over my Sprint Note 2 and using my Atrix 4G on Net10 is getting old. I'm selling the Note 2 for $500 tonight and never going to CDMA again. I will however continue dev work on my Sprint S3 so other users can unlock their CDMA phones to work on GSM.

##RANT

I'm tired of couriers pushing us around and locking fully functional quadband radios and loading their crapware on. I'm frustrated by couriers/OEMs keeping firmware/driver source to themselves which makes custom roms difficult. I'm tired of locked bootloaders and invalidation of warranties due to rooting.

No more I say, no more!

I'll pay the extra $150 and be happy :laugh:

OKAY [ 0.018s]

Make sure fastboot is unchecked in the settings. Menu, settings, power options than uncheck fastboot and ensure usb debugging is enabled:D
[HTC Desire S] saidelike:
It was because you used "unlockten" instead of "unlocktoken". The error message is not helpful since it says signature is invalid because it tried to flash a partition such as boot or recovery or whatever. But our Unlock_code.bin is not signed this kind of way.

I've just found a fix for annoying wifi drops in 587 firmware. Just flash (or move with the correct permissions all files from the archive,like i did) "Stock WiFi modules" from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1708532 (these are the modules from 431fw,where wifi worked flawless) and you get rid of any problems with wifi. (I've used it,and in two hours i didn'had any drop).Please report back if it works.

Edit: ater two of using i can say that partially it resolved the problem,but it still have one-two drops/day (compared to .587 modules where i was having 2-3 drops every half hour).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maRRRco89:
I'm in .431 only for this reason, the Wifi is super and very stable, never a drop out.

The 587 is a smoother firmware but wifi is unusable so I'm curious if your solution work really for everyone.

I don't know for example if everything about wifi is located only in lib-modules, or there is something else in kernel or in other place, so wait for more test :)

thanks for sharing
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] indycar:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bertellio:
Take "pimp my rom" from google play and easy modify wi-fi scan timing. Max time will give you minimum drain and minimum wifi stability, min time the opposite. Find your best value.

It is not a matter of modules, according to me, but of parameters, which could be good for many people, but not for all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ReznorNInchNails:
AW: Fix WIFi drops issue in 587 fw

Pimp my rom did not work in my case. On the other side, on .587 stock modules did the trick. It has been few days connection is going on 24/7 without a single drop!

I flashed Alliance 1.5 for cwm, then after flashing zip got back to stock .587 kernel.

Please, if someone knows if I can use modules in some CM based ROMs let me know. Or if there are some others I should try. And one more thing: on CM7 with Nightelf kernel and stock Gingerbread connection also never drops, it occurs only on ICS/JB ROMs.

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maRRRco89:
So, in .587 did you use only stock wifi modules from .431 ?

Then, I can't understand why this thread is not much frequented, maybe people like wifi drops :confused::confused::confused:

I think the OP did a good work sharing his fix, but actually nobody like it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
The problem is that the peoples are too lazy to search on forum,and it's easier to ask "it works?" instead of trying.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pabjimlop:
It works perfect on UHD 2.0.3!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ReznorNInchNails:
Yes, I flashed Alliance only to flash zips and root phone then reverted to stock .587 kernel and installed cwm. Works great.

But, if there would be someone to make or port these wifi modules for AOSP ROMs that would be awesome.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bertellio:
Where do you read they are wi-fi modules from .431 fw? Beacuse suave v6 kernel is based on .587 rom. Just to know, there are many manifestation of placebo effect on battery calibration, too.

Those are wi-fi stock modules for ones who have flashed alliance kernel wi-fi modules in the past, without reinstalling stock rom. If in the past you flashed modules for alliance kernel, then you will not be able to enable wi-fi after flashing a stock kernel (or suave which is stock based). This is the matter of that flashable.zip

With latest roms (u.h.d and revolution hd) I do not suffer wifi drops anymore. Anyway you should try a custom kernel with custom wi-fi modules (like alliance or lupus) if you think it can be improved.

But if you want to trust placebo effect, it is simple:

-download that flashable.zp

-write down all the files inside and their path

-flash stock firmware .431

-find the files matching the ones on the flashable.zip and change them into the flashable.zip

Then you should have a flashable.zip with the real .431 stock wi-fi modules, so do what you want!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
I've compared the modules with the ones from 587 and from 431, and they're exactly the same like in 431.

I don't like to use custom roms, because i've optimized the stock rom for my needs. About custom kernels, yes, many of them have custom WiFi modules and are better, but they're overheating the phone very fast.

Don't tell me that is placebo effect when before i was having WiFi drops every 5 minutes, and now i have 1-2 drops/day.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bertellio:
R: Fix WIFi drops issue in 587 fw

Do custom kernels make phone overheating? I don't think so, OC makes phone overheating.

So if you compared .431 and .587 wifi modules of those rom version, which are the difference between them to make .587 ones instable according to you?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
I don't use OC, because i don't use the phone for games and i always keep the phone on "ondemand" governor, no matter what kernel i'm using.Instead i stream movies in browser, and with any kernel i use, after 10 minutes of streaming, the phone temperature is already 40-42 degrees, meanwhile,with stock 587 kernel, after 1 hour, it barely reaching 35 degrees. I don't know which is the difference between 431 and 587 modules, because i'm not a dev nor a phone geek, but after trying every single app in the Play Store to make WiFi stable, changing modules is the only way that really worked. PS: I'm using the nordic ftf, so maybe it's a problem only with this version of firmware,i didn't tried others.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bertellio:
I'm trying to understand the matter.

So you are saying that:

-you don't know exactly if those modules from suave thread are from .431 stock rom or .587 stock rom.

-according to you those modules are different from the ones you call from .587 stock rom because you get fewer drops in a day and because your phone reach higher temperature during internet streaming.

Right?

If you stay next to your wi-fi access point you still get drops during the day?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maRRRco89:
The Wifi drops in .587 without doubts, I made some tests time ago with the same and very good router and with .587 you could observe the wifi icon go away suddendly every 10-15 minutes even if the phone was near the router.

A way to prove the instability of wifi in 587 is trying to download a gameloft game, you can't do so ! The download will interrupt every 50 Mb and you are forced to press "retry" anytime.

Then I did the same test with firmware .431 and I didn't experienced any drops ... same router, same apps installed, some mods, same phone :)

So, something let wifi to drop in .587 and this is not router or user releted for sure; I don't know if only the modules from 431 can do the trick, but if you want to try i will post later modules from my 431 nordic firmware.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bertellio:
R: Fix WIFi drops issue in 587 fw

Ok, the OP of suave kernel v6 tell me officially that those modules are from .431 stock fw rom. I wanted to be sure this was true and not based only on better experience.

So now you should make 2 trial to find best solution at all:

-.431 rom modules and .431 kernel

-.431 rom modules and .587 kernel

Then I think the rest of the rom should not make any difference

I will suggest madfysh to highlight this thread.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
1. Wrong,i didn't said that i don't know if the modules are from 587 or from 431,i said that are exactly the same modules like in 431 firmware.

2. I didn't said that the modules have something to do with phone temperature,i don't know where did you read that.

No matter if the phone is 5 cm far from the router or if i'm in another room,i have the same drops,with 587.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bertellio:
R: Fix WIFi drops issue in 587 fw

The point was that there were no proof that they were .431 rom modules and you said that you did not know the difference between .431 and .587, but you knew only the different effect between them. This can not be a rational way to go, especially if you say something like custom kernels make somehow overheating on the phone. And this is what you can extract from your replies above. Probably this is why this thread has not be taken into account by many users.

For the next time you had better to state what you are sure and why (known sources proofs), then what you are saying and why. Just a suggestion if you want.

Anyway I reported this thread to GhostfreakNB, he said that when he has some time he would put this into main MOD and TWEAKS thread so it can be more visible.

Bye

PS.: if you can, edit first post. Point out first that wifi modules from .431 stock rom can solve wifi drops. Just after put the link and say that its OP has stated that they are exactly what they are (also if it is not said in its thread). It can be useful.

Running CM10 Stable - current config:

UNLOCKED (HTD Dev)

S-ON

HBOOT-1.19.000

RADIO-1.12.11.0809

Since flashing CM10 this weekend, my mobile data has gone in the toilet. Network/"no connection" errors and gray bars way more often, despite not changing a thing about my radios. Weirdly, if I turn on wifi, it seems to improve my reception as well (as in, I'm not on a wifi network - just the act of switching on wifi somehow gooses network performance, but only a little.) I haven't done better than two blue bars since I did this, and I've only seen "4G" once. I used to get far better than that.

Checked Settings, everything seems fine. Thoughts? More data needed?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 94loranger:
Myself and three others are experiencing the same issues with our GS3's and was wondering if anyone else has had these issues.

1. When trying to place a call most times it tries to dial then hangs up and goes to the lock screen.

2. When #1 does not happen it take 3-4 times of retying the number before actually ringing. Tried from different towers same thing

3. The keyboard does not keep up with the typing it often takes a while for it to work

4. When tethering with paid subscription and I try to place a call the data stops working.

Anyone else have these issues?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iceman4357:
Very interesting that you bring this up. I recently have been suffering from the following:

1.) When trying to place a call it tries to dial and hangs up. I usually have to try 3 times before I can get the call to go through or have to soft reset

2.) A LOT of my friends have told me that when they try and call me it will only go through about half of the time. Sometimes the get "The ATT customer is unavailable", other times it will just beep at them, and finally it will go through but not ring on my phone.

3.) Same keyboard issue. I found that if I turned off all the auto correct and predictive text that it helped, but I will still get a lag issue once in a while.

Comments- I thought it was just my original GS3 that was starting to crap out so I did a warranty exchange, and the same symptoms keep happening. I also got a new SIM card, but that has not helped out either. One AT&T Tech rep told me there were major tower issues in my area, but then another I spoke to said there were none.

Now I dont know if I should ask for a new GS3, go to a different phone or what.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] marocca:
Yup. My keyboard freezes up once in a while, also I get " unfortunately music player has stopped" while connected through bluetooth. I usually just re open music player and it works fine.

Yeah, we all have the same issue when people try to call us and they get "The ATT customer is unavailable". Also one more thing I forgot to mention is that I sometimes try to call a number and get a pop up that says Emergency Calls only.

Not sure what to do at this point but getting very frustrating.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] superm1:
I've definitely had the keyboard lag pop up. Only solution I've found is to turn off the phone and back on. It seems to do OK for a few days then at least.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iceman4357:
just got back from an ATT store. A girl there confirmed that its related to the JB update for the GS3 and for the Note 2. She has the Note 2 and said its much better than the issues with the GS3 but it still has inbound and outbound calling issues. It has to do with how the phone (maybe modem related) switches from LTE to 4g.

Customer service offered to send me a Note 2 for $100 and let me keep my GS3. I might do that and sell which ever I dont like better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 94loranger:
Yeah I went to the ATT store as well and was told that this is a known issue and that Samsung is working on a fix but there is no ETA. Wish they offered me a Note 2 for $100.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iceman4357:
doesnt help much since the note 2 has the same issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
It seems that the switching between LTE and 4G due to a call is causing multiple issues. From what I have seen issues extend not just to these problems but also random battery plummets for some. The "switch" somehow does not work correctly hardware wise for some phones. Under JB it seems to break at times for receiving and making phone calls. I hope they find a way to make LTE work as a voice line as well and update accordingly so the switch does not have to occur.
