4g lte giving problems after flashing !

I'm posting this to see if anyone eles has or had the same issue, but first I want to say viper Rom is the best ! I have an unlocked DNA with soff and rooted. I flashed viper dna about a month ago, first few weeks was fine but I been noticing that I'm always getting 3g reception over 4g. When I was on the stock Rom soff unlocked and rooted I had 4g 24/7 never in and out like it is now. Like 97% of the time now I'm only getting 3g. My mobile network is on and network mode is on cdma/lte. I reinstall viper 5 times after half the day after doing a fresh install everything wiped it goes from 4g to 3g and stays on 3g and never goes back unless I toggle airplain mode then I only get 4g for ten mins then goes back to 3g. I have Verizon and before I installed viper I was on 4g lte all the time when it was stock. All my other lines on the family plan in my house are all getting 4g. Reception was never a problem by my house! Has anyone ran into this issue or know what's causing it and how to fix this? Please help

Thanks , Paul G

Im on viper 1.3.5(ota) , palmer .34, nd eng boot. From what I've seen.. Phone has trouble receiving a call. If u r browsing the web, listening to music, or n an app, the phone shell reboots (viper boot animation) nd stays there until I reset it. Ny1 having similar issues... Thoughts?
[HTC Droid DNA] reaverclan:
mine has none of those issues. your might want to flash stock kernel and see if its that causing issues although im on same kernel so... what Governor you using?
[HTC Droid DNA] hbarron:
Whatever palmer has set.. haven't changed anything. Gna do a clean install (sense 5 or something) or full 1.5 viper. See if that clears anything up. Thanks for the help!
[HTC Droid DNA] shobon:
All of that is incredibly unnecessary. If you're telling someone to wipe system/cache/data more than once, then you don't understand what it's doing.

Put Viper 1.3.1 zip, Viper 1.3.1 to 1.3.3 update zip, and Beastmode zip on your sdcard.

Wipe system, cache, dalvik, and do a factory reset.

Flash Viper 1.3.1, then flash the 1.3.3 update.

Some people recommend you reboot into the rom and let it settle before flashing a new kernel. I personally haven't had an issue flashing a kernel directly after a rom, but it's up to you.

Flash beastmode

Reboot system

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the app icons on the lockscreen?

I love the sense lockscreen (especially with the modifications with viperdna) but the icons use defaults icons while my launcher runs am icon pack (flatro) which makes it look weird. i would love to be able to use the flatro icons for the 4 apps on the lockscreen but i can't seem to be able to figure out a way to do it.
[HTC Droid DNA] takota6:
Hi.I asked awhile back as well but was told by the dev that the icons are unable to be changed..

On to another question, when I set custom ringtones per contact they appear to apply but when the special someone calls it only rings with my default ringtone

Flashing from CM10

I'm banging my head here. The Wife has a DNA that has CM10 on it when she got it. It has many DNS issues when on mobile and some other things are sketchy. She wants me to put a different ROM on it and I have followed said instructions and flashed different kernels to try to get this thing going.

My background is I know just enough to be dangerous. I have been playing with phones for a couple of years now and didn't really have any issues 'til now.

The phone is s-off, has recovery, unlocked and works great other than small annoying issues.

The issue I am having is a very simple one and I know I am missing something small. I go through recovery and install from .zip. It boots to Aroma and all looks good. Then at some point during install, crazy color screen then blank blue screen. Only can boot to bootloader at that point and everything with recovery works. I can flash CM10 back with no issues. I did notice that the CM10 .zip file is in the sdcard download folder while the ViperDNA file is in the sdcard0/download folder. I did move the file over to sdcard instead of sdcard0 because I'm thinking that is the issue. Before I flash again and make the wife mad again because she has to install her app backups again and get everything the way she wants it, what do you guys think about the file location when flashing?
[HTC Droid DNA] cmgdwg:
Do you get the same issue when you try flashing a different ROM? Do a clean wipe and flash for example, MicroMod777's DNA superstock ROM and see if it works. The viper rom is a great rom, Your wife won't be disappointed.
[HTC Droid DNA] Strikslow:
DNA superstock did flash with no issues. It has something to do with Aroma exiting out early. I have propped the phone up and pressed the go button and it will start writing and then stops and goes to the HTC screen and stays. I guess she will stay with DNA superstock and leave it at that. I guess Aroma is just one of those things that is going to be temperamental with this phone.

I'm going to leave it alone for a while now because she is "DONE" with reloading and getting everything back to the way she likes it :confused:.

Disabling the lockscreen...

I'm having only one issue with this ROM, and that is turning off the lockscreen. During the ROM flash I chose to install the aosp lockscreen and remove the Sense lockscreen. What is funny though is that the lockscreens turned out to look exactly the same, this probably should have been a red flag. I have the option selected to turn it off, but the phone seems to not want to listen. Does anyone have the expertise to help me figure this problem out?

In Viper 1.3.5 does anyone ever have the caller ID not show the name for contacts in your phonebook? It just shows the number. Specifically stored under your Google account.

I've never noticed that issue. Were/are you by chance using the aosp lockscreen?

No I have the Sense lockscreen enabled but I am also using Widget Locker. It doesn't happen every time, but once it does I have to reboot to fix it.

Beastmode 3.0 and MMS

Hi all

I have been using the ViperDNA from the beginning when I got my HTC DNA a year ago.

Now I have installed ViperDNA_2.0.0_sense5 and I just love it.

Everyone seems to be using this Beastmode 3.0 Kernel and I haven't been able to find it and currently the search function on this forum is not working.

Is this the right one?

I found one at oneroms.com but I am not sure it is the right one (cant add url because I have not posted 10 posts)

Also, I am using the mobile in Iceland (GSM network) and I have never been able to get the mms to work though I have tried so many suggestions mostly regarding the gosms app. Any idea what might be the problem would be appreciated.

Regards

Wi Fi issue

I have been using ViperDNA for about a year now.

I installed sense5 version 2.0 when it came out and installed Beastmode 3.0 Kernel as well later on.

Everything was working fine except bluetooth and audio had issues and according to many on this forum it was related to the Kernel.

I went back to stock Kernel by running the original 2.0 boot.img from fastboot.

Now my Wi Fi doesn't work and I read somewhere that I had to install something more than just the boot.img. I just dont wont to do a clean install of the ROM again. Any suggestions??

Custom ringtone installation

How do I install custom ringtones on Viper 1.3.5? On every other ROM I've used I just put ringtones in /sdcard/Ringtones, notifications in /sdcard/Notifications and alarms in /sdcard/Alarms. The Viper ROM is the first I've used where my ringtones did not automatically appear in the list.

I did just move back from 4.2 to 4.1 so had to move the files from /sdcard/0/ to /sdcard/.

Any ideas? Thanks.

hm i've been on it for...maybe 3 weeks. before that i was on 1.1.0. i got the OTA for 1.1.1 installed then OTA for .2 - installed then OTA for .3.

and no i didn't have any issues prior and i have tried airplane mode for when it doesn't want to reconnect after a complete drop of all signal (with the exception of actualy phone signal) and it corrects it for that moment...but it still happens again from time to time

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

doesn't happen while switching from one to the other. happens while i've been on one for a while...usually. i suppose i can't say it never happens between switching...but usually while i've already been on one for a bit
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Did it happen on 1.1,0? Were you on it long enough to tell? It sounds like you're having a hand-off issue,

Is it happening in random areas? If it's consistent then it's just weak coverage in those areas.

Are you s-off? Did you flash the new radios? Something you could try to fix it.
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
no it didn't happen in 1.1.0 from what i saw and i was on it for....maybe two weeks..maybe just one...might not have been long enough for me to notice.

but yeah so far it seems random. bc it happens regardless of being on data or wifi

i'm not sure what s-off means...but i haven't attempted to flash any new radios to it. just what was already included is there

OTA vs Manually flashing each update. Dually noted they can't be flashed one after the other, I'm just thinking in some cases one vs the other would be important. In this case, I guess the answer is no it's not, either way achieves the same mean.

Update [edit]: To explain what I meant Doc- I flashed 1.1.0 and everything went very smoothly BUT I can't do OTA because the wi-fi won't connect. I'm assuming it would work otherwise, but as of right now I'm wi-fi only and therefore need to flash one by one. I'll manually update once I'm off work, no phone for the day isn't a big deal for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Your WiFi not being able to connect is not a ROM issue, but a kernel issue. You have a boot.img vs modules mismatch. The ROM requires system write capability for some of its tweaks and has the modules built into it. You need to flash the boot.img from the OP. Download the file and put it in the same directory you have fastboot.exe in. Put the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode and type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Droid DNA] UrGuardian999:
Well well, I did miss that it says to use the DSB Stock Kernel. I believe I just disregarded that the zip had the stock DSB boot.img in it, and I need to reflash 3.1.3 and modules again.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
If you choose to use that kernel, per the instructions in that OP don't forget to flash the stock DNA modules first before flashing 3.1.3 image and modules (see Please Note.)
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
you just need to flash the modules that come with the boot.img with any kernel...

Do you need a usb-otg cable to do OTA's? Each time it's saying that it's "unable to locate zip file '/usb-otg/SDCARD: Download/VIPER....etc"? No big deal because you can just go to the Download folder and install it that way after the OTA has downloaded it.

I had it connected to my laptop the first update and thought that was the problem but then the second one I disconnected it and had the same issue. I'm to 1.1.3 but I'm just curious

Might try dirty flashing viper again. Mine was sucking battery after a restore of a nandroid (TWRP for what it's worth). Fixing permissions and wipe of cache/dalvik made no difference. But after a dirty flash 3 or 4 days ago, all is great. Almost scared to upgrade when 1.2.0 comes out!

By not using your phone much and avoid tweaking too much. Believe it or not, but the DNA has great battery life. you can get 30+ hours on minimal use. On a normal day for me I get around 22 hours. For those who have serious battery drains, you might have flashed something bad or wrong.

[HTC Droid DNA] ranarana:
i've done no tweaking aside from installing viper rom and 3.1.3 kernel. only way i would get 22 hours is if i charged it fully before bed, took it off charger, and let it sleep while i sleep lol. i wake up and start using the browser, there goes my battery! i tried the crpalmer kernel as well, not much of a difference for me

I'm running viperDNA 1.1.0
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

It should. But I would suggest you manually update to 1.1.1 then 1.1.2 then 1.1.3., because 1.1.3 includes ota vzw update blocking, so you won't have to worry about it. Those minor updates can be downloaded from the main thread, a nd you don't have to wipe when flashing them. If for some reason you really don't want to update, Nitsuj also made a .zip to flash that will block the ota from vzw, it is in the regular development forum.

Note: there is also a chance that you are getting notices to update from viper, it also updates ota.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Yes I updated to 1.13 manually with the three patches, and I still got an OTA update notification which was the Viper 1.13 ota update, even though I had flashed it in recovery, I had to reflash it via the OTA. Then all was good.
[HTC Droid DNA] zippa713:
Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

The one I am talking about was Verizon 2.04... I honestly didn't notice the patches, after I read in here about them I went ahead and did it; which was after I said ok to update to verizons. Which cwr was allowing me to install "untrusted software" but I declinded... I now have a notification about system update but not the same big pop up... I also turned off schedule checks for updates... So I assume I won't get viper ota with that off?

So I'm now on viperdna 1.1.3

EDIT: so the 2nd update notification is viper 1.1 - 1.2 now it wants me to down grade?
[HTC Droid DNA] devilsaces:
Did you go straight from 1.1.0 to 1.1.3? You need to update in order. 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 then 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 ans so on.
[HTC Droid DNA] zippa713:
Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

Yes I am capable of following directions lol... The one guy in this thread said do it in order then on the update thread it again says do it in order, finally The updates themselves are labled with directions making it impossible for anyone old enough to read/write to mess up. Lol

EDIT: I just thought about this... I rebooted after I cleared the Verizon update and then did the 0>1 after that reboot I got the new update but didn't notice it was viper not oem... Then continued on in order... I bet it is lagged from when it first popped up when it had seen the device on the first patch... Makes sense now... Since I've cleared it I bet itll be fine when or if it comes back
[HTC Droid DNA] devilsaces:
Makes sense. I'm glad everything worked out. It's also good to know that you do know how to follow directions. I had to ask because you would not believe how many time I have read that people skip the other updates. There are way too many people who don't follow directions.
[HTC Droid DNA] UrGuardian999:
To be honest, I just read through the instructions and the FAQ again and it doesn't clear cut say that you have to flash them all in order.... which is why I came to this thread in the first place. And the OTA updates didn't work either, so I flashed them all manually [knowing from this thread that I had to do them in order]

Yes I see that it says

But is that honestly crystal clear that you must start with 1.1.0 and install, boot up, install the next one, boot up, and so on

Just playing the defense attorney ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] devilsaces:
Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

Since we are playing the debate game, Incremental means in order. It also says flash based on your current version. The zips are clear too. They are labeled something like 1.1.0 to 1.1.1. And so on.

But just like you did and just like I did before I flashed, read as much as possible, including deeper into the threads and anything that is not clear hopefully gets cleared up by someone else. It saved my butt a bunch of times.
