Me neither, like I said, doesn't matter which rom or device, my Note 2, HTC Evo 4G, or my Galaxy tablet 8.9. Same across all, but a buddy of mine, an hour away using a un-rooted (foolish boy) SGSll clicks on all apps & it pops right up, just like it used to. Maybe is a Google issue, or maybe a root issue, hmm?

Wasn't an all apps issue for me. It was happening when I open the play store. Now sometimes it's working and sometimes it's not. I dint have the issue on any other device, and I've never had it before on this one. They're lighting up 4g in my area, so signals are fluctuating wildly, which might have something to do with it.

I'm also not getting a GPS lock. I don't think I got one when I flashed TW before flashing this version of carbon. Could that be it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crookshanks:
Easily the best ROM I've used on any phone. It's smooth, everything works and it has every feature I could possibly want. One question...is there any way for me to get the nav ring on the lock screen without the nav bar on my home screen?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
As far as I know, you can assign apps to the 8 rings around the lock. Additionally you can have ribbons on the locks screen. Which allow for mor apps and actions. But I believe your nav bar needs to be enabled for the nav ring to work. Unless you set it to auto hide somewhere in those settings. Good luck.

I tried that, expanding the desktop on my home screen got rid of the nav ring on my lockscreen. Not a big deal, I can live without it. Thanks for your help!

I'm on the 7/23 nightly and I was in an LTE area earlier today. I didn't get any LTE service while I was there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ideas4ya:
I agree, easily the best rom. Very fast. But, is there anyway someone could post some simple and fairly easy battery tweaks because I get more battery drain with this rom than Slim or Liquid. (I would love to come back to Carbon if someone could post some easy battey tweaks...)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevincwelch:
Did you try dialing ##72786# ? Not with this particular ROM, but with others, dialing this number has reset the LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
-D's battery saver for your network savings.

-And greenify to hibernate apps that don't need to be running in the background.

-Make sure 'report from this device' is off in maps.

-Turn off tilt scrolling in dev options id you're using chrome.

-Don't sync stuff you don't need to and change that in the account settings.

-Auto brightness eats more battery IMO.

-Turn off touch sounds.

-Turn off notification light... It drains and keeps your device awake while there is a notification blinking.

That's all I could think of at the moment.

Anyone else having problems with no GPS lock on the LTE build posted a few pages back? I can't get a lock. Flashed jellybombed and couldn't get a lock there either. Problems started after flashing the LTE build. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crookshanks:
Doesn't work on this ROM. Thank you though. I may install another nightly but I don't have LTE where I live at the moment anyway and this ROM has been awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Natedog1:
I had to flash a stock ROM. Get a GPS lock. Then do a complete wipe and flash the LTE build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
What ROM did you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Natedog1:
I had an old stock nandroid that I used. It is just a stock rooted touchwiz rom. Don't forget to do the ##72786# again while on stock or 4G won't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Scratch that. Jellybombed did work to get GPS back. Just took a minute to lock

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

If I had the LTE build working with LTE, nandroid, flash a stock build to get GPS, then restore the nandroid, I should still have LTE, correct? Or do I need to ##72786# every time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Natedog1:
I thought you had to do ##72786# again but maybe not. If it works without wiping great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Hhhmmmm, I'd like some clarification on that. They're just starting to test LTE in my area, so I can't say definitively yes or no
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
I'll be trying this very thing here shortly. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Has the fix been merged though? I know there was a fix for the 7/16 nightly but never heard if that got put into the regular nightlies
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
So I tried this and in my case it worked. Here's what I did:

Used TWRP to flash a stock MA7 build.

Rooted and reinstalled TWRP (don't know if results would be the same using CWM).

Switched 4G on then GPS using maps to get a fix.

With both 4G LTE and gps locked dialed ##72786#. Let it do its HFA thing which will update PRL and whatever else HFA does. Give this step some time to run since it will reboot your phone two or three times. During the first reboot it may appear that the phone soft bricked but be patient cause it can take a few minutes to complete.

Restored older nandroid backup of the unofficial Carbon with LTE support.

Verified 4G working as well as gps even after multiple reboots, power cycle, full discharge etc.

Double checked gps lock both indoors and out using gps status app and verified 4G LTE by checking in Settings/About Phone and running Speedtest app. LTE toggle works to switch between 3 and 4G.

: goodness:

Not that I know of. The nightly you're talking about was an unofficial. If you want to use it then you may be stuck on it. When I had my LTE working I tried dirty flashing a more recent nightly and immediately lost LTE and gps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my question. Just wondering if ##72786# needs to be done every time a flash is done, or if it sticks after the first time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
You should be fine going from one working LTE rom to another
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
It has been my direct experience that LTE will not stick if you flash any Carbon nightly other than the one unofficial with LTE support unless you go back to before this issue first popped up sometime in mid to late June.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Guys you can just drop the three ril files into system/lib on the 726 nightly using 7zip on your pc. Flash a tw ROM, do the dialer code, update prl an profile, get a GPS lock.

Now flash the nightly you dropped the ril blobs into

Looks like they're done with 4.2.2 so this should be the last nightly you will flash tool 4.3 gets up and bug free.

Here, I'll make this easy. :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43937297

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Thanks, but this really doesn't answer my question either. I'll give a quick rundown one more time, and if I can't get a definitive answer I'll just reflash everything. I flashed jellybombed, did ##72786#, FORGOT TO GET GPS LOCK, flashed the LTE carbon build from a few pages back. Realized I forgot GPS lock. Nandroid carbon, flash jellybombed, get GPS lock, BUT DID NOT ##72786#. Restored nandroid. Should I still have LTE, or so I need to ##72786# and lock GPS before restoring nandroid or reflash carbon?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
You should be fine just getting GPS lock. I did it and it worked for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
And you still had LTE after restoring a nandroid?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
Yes. And I answered this in my first reply to your question. I may just have gone the long way around and detailed what I did and the order in which i did things and what my experience was.

In my experience dealing with this LTE issue I found that if I were to go to a TW based ROM and if I got a gps lock and LTE signal and did the dialer code and waited for HFA to complete then I was CONSISTENTLY able to restore my nandroid or flash the LTE Carbon build and STILL maintain LTE and five second gps locks. I hope this answers your question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
I must just be misunderstanding, because even after rereading your last post, I still understand it that you did the dialer code at the same time as getting a GPS lock, while I did mine at a completely different flash without doing the dialer code because I had done it on a previous flash. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't think we're on the same page here, or my reading comprehension skills have gone straight down the crapper tonight

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
For me, I went to tw, did the dialer code, flashed the modified 7/16 nightly, restored nandroid data, realized I didn't have Gps, so I flashed tw again, got Gps (no dialer code this time ), flashed the nightly again, restored nandroid again, and all is good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Thanks, that answered my question
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
have the RIL changes been implemented yet? i know they have in CM but not sure here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Okay, just realized I did lose LTE. So, doing the dialer code and GPS fix with separate flashes did not work for me

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] journeyman73:
I had no issues booting into the 1.8 build so maybe it was a bad flash...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
If I remember correctly 1.8 was created before this whole ril and gps thing began. I would recommend flashing a recent TW stock ROM and make sure you get LTE and a good gps lock finishing with ##72786#. Go to recovery, factory wipe then flash Carbon 1.8 and gapps. If you're interested in blackout gapps gimme a minute and I'll post a link to an aroma based gapps based on the most recent gapps. It's worked real well for me.

Here you go

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Are you trying to downgrade from a newer version of Carbon? Sometime after 1.8 came out there was a substantial enough change to the framework that a full elite and clean install was needed to continue updating on the nightly. I recommend a full wipe and clean install before going to 1.8 that was latest official stable of Carbon. I ran it for at least a month with no problems.

HTH
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
The ril blobs are not added. I lost 4g after reboot. I have fixed though & rom is running well. Very well. I did flash plasma v1.66.

I wonder why, the nightly builds been failing the last few night.... :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Okay, so I've had a heck of a time piecing things together with regards to the LTE/4G issue on Carbon 1.8. Here have been my findings:

Did a complete and thorough wipe (multiple times)

Installed 1.8, wiped dalvik/cache, installed Gapps, wiped dalvik/cache. GPS works, no LTE.

Tried flashing back to my MacksROM (TW) nandroid to do ##72786# to re-provision. It looks like I must have some service frozen because all that does is kills my data connection and stops there. It never re-establishes or reboots. I made sure to have LTE working and GPS lock anyways (even though I couldn't get ##72786# to work)

I restored my 1.8 nandroid (that I made before restoring my TW ROM) - confirmed... still no LTE.

I found this post: link that pointed to the RIL download that someone added to the carbon nightlies to make them the "LTE version" that's discussed here. I downloaded the zip, extracted the libs, and moved them to system/lib (overwrote the existing files). I didn't change permissions as they were already -rw.

I rebooted to see if that would magically fix anything without going back to TW again. ...no dice. It also had a rough time connecting to 3G but finally did.

Made another nandroid of 1.8, now with modified RIL libs (or whatever you call them)

I realized that my phone became deactivated when I tried the ##72786# without completing... couldn't make calls.

restored my original stock backup - No LTE...

I did ##72786# and got the SCRTN screen again, it killed my connection again... but it never rebooted or reset my connection.

I went in to TiBackup and defrosted everything I'd frozen in my stock ROM and rebooted. Upon reboot the phone automatically entered a hands-free activation screen where it said it updated the PRL (boo... now I gotta change that back...) then it rebooted. Then the hands-free screen came up again and it completed. LTE works again! now to see if it still works on Carbon.

I go outside and get a GPS lock and reboot into recovery, do some more full wipes, and restore my Carbon 1.8 nandroid that the modified RIL blobs/libs/whatever, wipe dalvik/cache, reboot.

3G Still!!! Crap! What could I have done wrong? Can someone properly modify the 1.8 release to include the correct blobs? I think I can successfully do the ##72786# now that I've learned a few lessons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
If the one you are trying to keep 4g on, is 4.2, then flash this, http://db.tt/vZMvS9A2

Its the ril blobs in a flashable zip, works for me. Flash after rom & gapps, or I've flashed after I booted up to see if the rom I was using had 4g initially, & I booted into recovery & flashed it & it worked that way to. Hope it works for you.

<snip>

I don't think there is ever going to be any work done on Carbon 1.8 unless some aspiring developer to be picks it up and maintains it as an unofficial. Watcha see is watcha get. FWIW I had the same issue as you. I resolved it similarly, I think. I deleted any old nands that were not working properly, reverted back to straight stock (through Odin) with updates. Once I was positive that everything was working properly I re-rooted with SuperSU, installed a patched Carbon and gapps and everything was well in my world again and has been since.

There was one hiccough along the way however. After I had Carbon running correctly for a while I decided to restore some old apps from TB. Contrary to all the recommendations I also restored data. Big mistake.

I recommend from not only my experience but scores of others that you try to not restore from TB as much as you can, especially system apps or user apps that might have been ported from 4.3. I know it's a pain in the brain but it's worth the trouble compared to losing LTE or gps then having to do it all over :( It took me a little while to get everything where I wanted it to be and now I can trust that my backups will work (tested many times)no matter what kind of hackjob I do my phone.

Best of luck to you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Just to keep others up to date: I've now gone back and wiped/flashed/wiped with the link found in the above post, and still no dice. I'm going to try ANOTHER fresh install wipe/carbon/wipe/gapps/wipe/zip from above/wipe. I'll report back.

Edit: so I FINALLY got 1.8 to work and pick up 4G. I had to do it the "right" way.

be on stock rom, do dailer code ##72786# - FYI this gives you the newest PRL (which right now is the crappy 2000)

Let it reboot a couple times during the re-provisioning

Change PRL if you want to, or stick with crappy 2000.

Backup your current ROM

Complete wipe (factory reset)

Flash Carbon 1.8 / wipe dalvik and cache / flash gapps / wipe dalvik and cache / flash the 4G zip in the post above / wipe dalvik and cache

reboot system

I found no shortcuts around this. I couldn't inject a nandroid of 1.8 with the zip and go do the dailer codes and come back, I had to flash the zip along with 1.8 and gapps. Time to re-set all my settings.
