[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
There were no problems...

There was a visual display issue. My signal showed 1 or 3 bars. It was always green in my settings, it was never yellow, or absent. I also only had 3 bars when I got a 52mbs down and 28mbs up speedtest while in Austin.

Ya'all just don't know what a visual display issue is.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] henrybravo:
I had always assumed the signal issue to be cosmetic, but how do you explain the lower data speeds?

Here are my previous comments on the matter I posted in another thread yesterday:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
I honestly never had any of these, and I've ran 7.0/7.2 of ARHD and I've seen just low bars. My battery was at 10% with 1d 23h time on it, and over 3 hours screen time. I was able to get fine data speeds at home, at work, and downtown Austin. I live on the fringes of austin, about 10-15 miles E of the city, and I work about 5 miles SE of downtown and had signals that were comparable to my One XL. Didn't notice anything switching to ARHD, tbh.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] henrybravo:
One thing I learned from my HTC Inspire days that seems to have been forgotten around here is that all AT&T markets are not the same. Judging by a couple of posts in this thread, apparently Austin, Springfield and NYC don't have this problem, where as my market (Tulsa) did have the speed problem on International ROMs.

Back when I had my HTC Inspire, running International ROMs would cause my HSPA data speeds to be under 1 MB/s. A lot of other people thought I was crazy because they didn't have the same problem on their Inspires, but a few people did have the problem. After a long thread I created it was finally determined that the "wap.cingular" APN that came on all the international ROMs was the fault, but only in certain markets. In some markets like mine, you had to manually configure a "phone" APN to get full HSPA speeds.

The only reason I brought up the previous paragraph is because apparently a similar situation existed where there was some configuration setting in the HTC One International ROMs that was causing slowdowns in some markets, that apparently got fixed in the new TrickDroid. And history has repeated itself here today, where people come in here saying the problem didn't exist and "ya'all just don't know what a visual display issue is".
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I've had no issues with data speeds here in NYC. I get the same speeds on an international ROM as I do on the AT&T ROM. I've been using the pta apn on both.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] henrybravo:
Noted. Unfortunately that wasn't true in the Tulsa market. Same thing happened on the HTC Inspire two years ago where some markets needed a fix. Unlike the Inspire however, the One fix doesn't seem to be APN related.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phositadc:
Does torxx even claim to have done something to fix the speeds? If he said he did nothing, then I'm guessing it's just placebo.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fix-this!:
I wondered why my signal was lower. Hopfully renovate rom does the fixes too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aimetti:
I personally havent had speed issues w/ international roms,

however I do have some major status bar issues with the new version of trick droid.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
it wasnt lower it was just displaying wrong
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] designgears:
Not even wrong! AT&T rom lies!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kurant1:
Just out of curiosity, seems there is a lot of problems with Aroma on this device. I know lots of Samsung ROM's used it, and lots didn't. Is there a reason most the ROM's use Aroma on this device? Or is it just a convenience thing?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] henrybravo:
Supposedly the troubles with Aroma are common on phones with 1080 displays. Even though the international HTC One has been out for 2 months (and other 1080 phones even longer), the problem hasn't been fixed yet because the main developer of Aroma doesn't have a 1080 phone to troubleshoot and fix the problem. I imagine that the developers are reluctant to go back to the old method since Aroma makes customization of the installation very easy for end users.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kurant1:
Did it work for you the first time? Or?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] henrybravo:
Nope, during my very first ROM flash, Aroma locked up immediately when I hit the first onscreen button. I thought maybe I had a corrupt zip file, but after verifying MD5 then I started checking around and noticed that almost everyone was having Aroma issues. I was surprised because I had been flashing Aroma ROMs for a year on my Galaxy phones with no problems, and then I read about the 1080 problem. If the issue really is related to the 1080 resolution, then chances are the S4 folks will be having problems as well. I've tried all the suggested workarounds with inconsistent results. It really comes down to just retrying the ROM installation over and over again until it gets through to the end of the installation without locking up.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mendedtimbo:
It usually takes me three or four tries to get aroma to complete anything.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] daddioj:
your not suppose to use touch screen. only up down vol and power buttons. and aroma shouldn't freeze
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] henrybravo:
I thought the same thing was true because my previous ROM install went fine using only the hardware buttons, but then today Aroma froze when I hit the power button on one of the screens. But I think your chances of success are higher using the hardware buttons when at all possible.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] daddioj:
well trickdroid freezes on me instantly . theres not installing that rom. revolution is fine. havnt tried any others
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kurant1:
I installed Revolution today. Aroma froze up while installing so just ran adb, rebooted to recovery and it was good to go after that.

I do see the signal bars don't reflect the same signal, but I was consistently getting 10mbps on speedtest, and I don't have good signal at my house anyway, so I think it's the bars just showing incorrectly. Speeds are as they should be.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Zabalba:
I, like others had the issue with Aroma freezes. The best workaround I was about to do was to edit the Aroma installer settings to have what I want chosen by default. That way all I have to do is press my power button throughout the installation. I still have freezes from time to time but it makes the process much faster when I don't have to re-select all of the parameters I want installed.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] henrybravo:
+1, that seems to be the best method until the issues are fixed.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hunt3r.j2:
I thought Torxx said he only did visual changes and a build.prop change. Have you tried comparing the international ROM vs AT&T build.prop?

How do you edit the aroma installer seeing if I may ask?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] illmatic416:
Give credit to the AT&T "upgraded" signal appearence "fix" to shnizlon who first implemented it in his OrDroid ROM, not TrickDroid.

Using a Text Editor open ROMZIP\META-INF\com\google\android\aroma-config

Every chef does theirs a little differently. But basically if a option has a "0" next to it, its not checked by default. Changing it to a "1" will.

Hello,

on my XDA I the Pin 22 is broken (charger Pin).

Is the Pin 21 the same, so I can modify my USB cable to use this pin instead of 22 ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dinopatel:
Hi all,

Hoping someone can confirm the following before I root the S4, thanks.

1. Will updating Samsung Kies on the desktop incorporate the up to date drivers for the phone.

2. Will the Motochopper rooting method by Dan Rosenberg work on the s4 on T-Mobile Uk?

3. Does the CWM method work or any other method, if so are there any links to this, thanks.

Enjoy the phone.

Rgds

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errdos:
hi,

after reading & talking to people regarding changing ROM most of the people recomended backing up the EFS partition (the IMEI)

i have read many tutorials some of them with weird hidden manus that dint match mine #*7284# and actually im getting kind of lost...

can anyone please help me find a guide with an updated on how backup my EFS/IMEI before im trying to mess with my phone?

thanks in advance,

ER
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's just a folder in the root of the device. You can copy it manually using any file manager with root access. Some recoveries such as philz, have an option to backup. There are efs backup apps on play.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errdos:
so i have to root my samsung before rom massing to backup IMEI in the EFS?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thealshear:
Yes, but if you want to stay stock no need to back up efs there is slim to nothing chances you will lose imei
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattPL:
Hi, if you want backup /efs folder, don't do a copy folder with root explorer.

Use this app play.google com /store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Well if you want to flash custom ROMs you are going to need Root anyway except if you just want to update your current Samsung Firmware. In this case you can just flash via Odin of course without Rooting your device.

Maybe you can backup the EFS Folder via ADB but I never tried that so just pulling it from the system folder via a root explorer is easier, at least for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errdos:
if i understood correctly you flash CWM trough odin and then you can just flash your new rom. am i worng?

and it seems that that guy above you mentioned that copying isn't enough... :eek:

so root --> back up all EFS folder (which contains IME) --> flash CWM trough odin --> use CWM to install new rom?

ER
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
The guy above said that a manual restoring of EFS isn't possible when the phone won't boot into the ROM, well that`s correct but the point of a EFS backup is to restore it when you have a working ROM but without a EFS Folder (happened for some reason more than once here at XDA).

Yes if you have Root, backup your EFS Folder, then you can flash a CWM Recovery through Odin and then after wiping data/cache you can flash a new custom ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errdos:
first of all thanks for all the help. now at least i can start

so ill just look for goot root tutorial :)

more of a opinion questions:

so you recommend on using Odin to get CWM? or RomManager ( i heard it can do it)

do you have any rom you can reommend on? or another restore program other then clockwork?

:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Well it shouldn't really matter but one time I tried to flash CWM through ROM Manager and it failed for some reason leaving me with a bootloop. I don't now what went wrong there but since then I either use Odin to flash CWM or the last time I did it by flashing the Siyah Kernel. It gives you Root and you can flash the CWM Siyah Touch Recovery straight from the S-Tweaks App but it`s really your decision.

About the ROM, there are ROMs that are based on Samsung`s TouchWiz Firmware and ROMs that are based on AOSP / CyanogenMod. There is no such thing as a best ROM, so you are going to have to figure this out yourself since it depends on your personal taste. I use Temasek`s build of CyanogenMod with his Kernel and it gives me the right amount of customization and can be used as a daily driver.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
adb shell?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
I don't have much ADB experience. So it is possible without actually booting into the ROM to push the EFS Folder into the /system folder?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So long as your recovery supports it (custom recovery) then yep.

Flashing and Rootins

Unless u want a $400 MP3 player make many and various types of backups.

For ten days i was without a cool phone cuz i rushed ahead and didnt read the guides in their entirety esp the parts on backup-i was so keen to flash a rom and i wrecked my phone and it wasnt easy also worth a read is the pages on how to decypher the code eg where that firmware is from and what modem or csc it has with it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdv87:
I've got a i9100 (TIM brand) Android JB, original firmware, non rooted.

After the update from ICS to JB the phone kept working flawlessly for several weeks but now, after a shut down (due to discharged battery), there is a problem about the CPU states.

The "200 MHz" and "1200 MHz" CPU states are no longer used at all, the "500 MHz" state is very little used (<5%) and the phone spend most of its time in deep sleep (~75% of the time in normal usage condition) or in either "800 MHz" (if the Economy Mode is enabled) or "1000 MHz" (if the Economy Mode is disabled) (~20%).

I've performed a factory reset and the problem first disappeared but, after few weeks (again after a shut down due to discharged battery), it reappeared identical.

This time I managed to solve the problem by shutting down the phone and remove the battery for few hours but, again, it reappeared identical after a shut down few weeks later, but this time removing the battery for few hours didn't helped.

Is this a documented bug? What can I do in order to solve this problem?

[HTC Desire X] carodel:
I need replace digitalizer screen, do you know any link to do it?

thank you....... I need your help
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
If youre not confident and ask about links to do that, Id recommend service, warranty or not, digitizer layer is glued to screen and anyone who hasnt enough experience will just mess it up badly
[HTC Desire X] carodel:
then, it´s better replace lcd+digitalizer,for me to do it.

do you think so?
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
Its certainly better to replace whole screen, but still even better is to do it in service, i wouldnt do it if I havent had any previous experience/wouldnt be able to find how to do it by myself, that screen isnt exactly cheap, if you dont have problems with that, go on
[HTC Desire X] MoshPuiu:
I have two words to say:

1. I don't know why people answers: 'go to service'; he don't ask forum for answers like that!

2. I never dismantle DX but on other HTC devices (and I'm preaty sure here is the same) the LCD has nothing to do with digitizer. The LCD is inside the phone and on top of that is the outer case and on that is digitizer. Digitizer can be found on market glued on case or simple (cheaper but harder to replace). The link between them is a thin band.

If I'm wrong please correct me because there is some time since I haven't worked with such devices (hard or soft) and on that time digitizers were resistive not capacitive...

Conclusion: be carefull and first of all try to dismantle your phone. If you succeed you can decide what piece you have to replace, LCD, digitizer or both...
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
I just pointed out that if someone has no idea how to do such thing (this was nicely indicated by asking about links how to do it), it is pretty hard task to do and might end bad (and I mean really end like this, not like "you can brick phone this way, but it wont happen anyway if you dont just have big bad luck"), he will end with no warranty (not like unlocking bootloader, they should still replace bad screen when unlocked, at least only warranty service in our country is doing it like this, they are cool :) ), unless it was some software voodoo which messed up with screen this badly after opening bootloader, or own fault which isnt covered by warranty. But it doesnt matter, we dont know the story and I just pointed out, that if someone wants really to do this, he should at least some iniaciative, like "is better this way or this another way" instead of asking for links, which, and its friendly advice, would be better solved by some person who is acctualy providing some guarantee that he will repair it how it should be, since he get paid for it.

I am not trying to demotivate him, in the end, its not my phone...

I recently purchase a galaxy note 2 had it unlocked from rogers to telus. Then when I put the new micro sim card in I could occasionally make an out going call can never receive a call and cannot send or revceive text messages. Also the signal strength keeps flexuating from almost no signal to full signal but only full signal after i attempt to make yet another unsuccessful phone call. Any ideas would be helpful.

I had to return my first HTC One for exchange because of dead pixels. I was working with a rep at AT&T and I had to restore my phone and my phone booted into TWRP right in front of him and I know he saw. I'm so glad those guys are clueless. Just thought i'd share, if you were worried that they wont accept it back if your unlocked the bootloader you have nothing to worry about. He had no idea that it was not the way it was suppose to work. He was more curious that I gave up the S4 for the HTC One.

Now I wouldnt recommend taking a chance so just restore before you go
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
Most reps don't have a clue.. But come to my store and let that happen I'll over look it because I'm all for having unlocked bootloader and s-off... It's the douche bags that try and lie to me about how there phones got bricked that don't like me
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kurant1:
I return an iPhone 4S once that was jail broke with a theme on it because the headphone port was not working. Had I know he was going to actually look in the "About" section of the phone, I never would have left the theme on it. He didn't even care, we started talking about jail break stuff etc.. etc..

I've met quite a few people in my dealings as a AT&T corporate employee over the last 14 years that are far from clueless. I had a guy promoting rooting my Galaxy S2 for a multitude of reasons right in front of my buddy who happens to be my boss, and in charge of enterprise sales, right in the AT&T store.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
yea the ones who know about jailbreaking and unlocking etcetc are cool about it hell i have had phones come back with MIUI on it and AOKP they didnt lie about it lol told me what was wrong i looked in to it handed them a new phone and with about my day .

whats funny is the "sneaky" ones lol attempting top tell me they have no idea how it happened IE a custom rom was flashed lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] berdo:
I have actually been told by an AT&T support rep to root my phone and install a custom rom to help improve my phone. This was with an HTC Inspire back in the day but I just about died. A support rep, on the phone, told me the best way to fix my phone was to root it and install a custom rom. Still makes me chuckle.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rushwal:
Well, It was about useless in stock form.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
I've told people that and linked them to the correct thread here on xda lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] berdo:
Lol. It was fairly useless in stock form but I was dropping calls left and right and the phone was 31 days old. It was a bit of a shock to hear but it actually helped me get a new phone instead of a warranty replacement, so it all worked out in the end.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BIGSx420:
Honestly, I don't think most of them even care. Like when I traded in my s3 for an s4 Paranoid Android was installed and he just did a factory reset and put the phone away before it could even boot back up. Same thing happened with my Atrix, GNex, and Skyrocket these past couple years at Best Buy.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
I just sent my first One back to AT&T with TWRP on it. Keeping my fingers crossed they don't notice before I get my refund. I currently have $1400 tied up in these phones since I paid full price, so I really, really, REALLY hope they don't catch it. I did flash a stock ROM and unrooted it, and sent it back powered on with a full charge so hopefully they will just take a quick glance at it and refund me my $700. My new MacBook Pro that I plan to buy this weekend is riding on it :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
As long as fastboot in enabled in settings I don't think you will have any issues. They will just restore it to stock and move on. You should be good
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
I'm 99% positive that it wasn't enabled. I think it's disabled by default and I didn't turn it on. How would that affect it though? I don't think they are gonna go over it with a fine tooth comb, they are probably just gonna inspect it for physical damage and call it a day.

Or so I hope.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
It was always enabled for me by default. When it is disabled on boot it will display red letters showing that it has been tampered. Either way you should be fine, unless the employees know about HTC they won't have a clue what that means.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
Well my current one is still just stock rooted, and fastboot isn't enabled. I haven't touched it which is why I'm assuming it's disabled by default. I'm really not that nervous about it, even if they catch it and try to pull some grap, I am very good at arguing. I'll get my money back.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I wouldn't worry either but I have had 3 HTC Ones and every one of them had fastboot enabled on first boot. When you try to install recovery one of the steps are to disable it so maybe that is why it was disabled. If not they will give you the info because they will reimage anyways
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
That would definitely explain why I had to use adb to boot into recovery the first time after installing TWRP. Man I'm rusty lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
I know at my store I'm the only one that understands how to get in the fastest menu and I'm sure most stores don't check that deep lol

Really? I tried to return my HTC One X a few weeks back due to a hardware issue with the handset speaker and they wouldn't take it because it was tampered. =/ The guy even asked his supervisor if they could take it because it wasn't bricked and was in perfect working condition with the exception of the handset speaker.

On the bright side I got the One because they wouldn't replace my One X. Lol. =]
