[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
So I've been having this problem for a while now. I've tried contacting T-Mobile about it but they've been completely useless. Basically, I'll lose service randomly and it won't come back for hours (sometimes it'll be gone the whole day). And I mean I can't make a phone call type of lose service. I live in a semi rural area, but there are still plenty of areas that have HSPA/HSPA+. I've tried new SIM cards, going back to complete stock ROM, no root. I'm at a loss at this point. Has anyone had this problem? If anyone cares, I'm currently on PA 3.15, .48 radio and latest boot loader.

Edit: Stock APN settings as well. And when I go to choose a network operator, both T-Mobile and AT&T show up, so I assume it's picking up some sort of signal, it just doesn't want to connect...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
I get this sometimes. Sometimes a power off/on works. Other times it doesn't. It's never been for hours, only about 10-15 minutes total but it's really unnerving because it could happen at the worst possible moment. I think I've had this happen to me 3 times since I got my N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
Would it comfort you to know that its not a error on your part but rather T-Mobile's?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
Haha! I figured it was, just seeing if anyone had heard anything from T-Mobile about it or if there was a fix. Thinking of switching to AT&T because of this tbh

Red Dragons!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
I would do the same thing if I was in your shoes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
Yea I'll constantly lose signal and that normally works but occasionally I'll get it to where nothing works and I'm stuck with a paperweight for the rest of the day (today being one of those unfortunate days)

Red Dragons!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
Do you know anything more than that? Is this some sort of handshake issue between our radio and their cell towers? My wife is on T-Mobile and she doesn't have the issue so I presumed it was my phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRX120:
My signal drops out a lot but I only pay 30$ a month so what can you expect

Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.72 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
You're a customer, you should expect good service no matter what you pay.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjafan:
My signal dropped one time but didn't ever do it again I'm also I the 30 dollar plan
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrock11:
I was having this issue as well. I would lose service for hours at a time on random days for like a month and a half. I found out that they were doing tower upgrades to get lte up and running (I'm in the north jersey/NYC area). Now my service is alot stronger and rarely ever lose service.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
I'm in the suburbs of Detroit (White Lake for anyone who cares). I kind of doubt lte will get here any time soon but here's to hoping that's what they're doing, lol.

Red Dragons!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
Thinking I might try to get a replacement phone actually. My roommate has a nexus 4 as well and he's had no problems whatsoever. Hmm... the plot thickens...

Red Dragons!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whohasaquestion:
I've been having the same issue with both the original and replacement phone. I've changed SIM card too, it still happens. Each times it lasts for a few hours before starting receive signal again. So you are definitely not alone here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
Yea it sucks but it's definitely nice to know it's not just me. Too bad T-Mobile and Google just point fingers at each other as opposed to finding an actual solution...

Red Dragons!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
Update: So I went ahead with an RMA and already I think I made the right choice. I'm getting 3-4 bars of H+ in my living room where I used to struggle to get a bar of 3G. So, I apologize to anyone who thought this was a waste of a thread and just cluttered up the N4 forums (God knows this forum needs to get decluttered), but if my experience helps at least one person out, then I guess it wasn't such a waste after all. Moral of the story, if your signal sucks just get it over with and go through an RMA (Google made it super easy and painless):good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
So I live in the city. Right now I'm using MOAR v4.01 and I cannot achieve a connection other than 1x no matter where I am in the city. I had this problem on other ROMS so I don't think it's MOAR.

I was using the Anthrax Aosp rom a few months ago and noticed I achieved a 4g connection on the upper east side but ever since then I cannot get higher than 1x.

Is there anyone else in NY getting a 3g or 4g connection? Does anyone know what I can do to try to fix this? I am using the MD4 modem (had the problem on MB1 too) and update my profile and prl often. I am really getting frustrated paying for services I can't even use. I am hoping that I won't have to unroot and reset my flash counter to bring the phone to a sprint store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I'm nowhere near NYC (in fact, Southern California is pretty much as far away as you can get from NYC without going to Alaska or Hawaii), but it sounds like Sprint might be updating their network. I know in many areas (myself included), Data services were extremely crippled when they were installing 4G. I would regularly get 1x in areas where I would get decent 3G. Then a few weeks later, the 3G was back. Then a month or so later 4G was up and running (it's pretty nice here at my work desk). Others have reported similar issues when the network is being upgraded.

So maybe it'd be worth a call to Sprint to see what's up with them. A part of me doubts that most of NYC would be upgraded at once, but maybe in your area there's work going on. It's worth a (relatively) quick call.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vibes340:
Yes, I get 3g and 4g depending where I am. I'm stock rooted md4.

Had that issue once but update profile and prl over wifi fixed it for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
I emailed them and they told me there is network outages in my area, but then the guy above me just said he's getting a 3g and 4g connection. Sprint really frustrates me. When I got my phone, it would say I was connected to 3g but after doing speed tests I would only get about 115kbps down. Now I'm using MOAR and it shows 1x and if I do a speed test on 1x its about the same. However, I used to get a 4g connection on 44th street and 6th ave but now I don't. I think I'm gonna go to the store today and ask them. If they tell me to bring my phone in I'll have to unroot it and reset the flash counter :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vibes340:
Yes, certain spots in lower Manhattan I get signal but can't use the service. It just don't work. Text won't send or calls won't go thru.

Yes sprint turns on and off the 4g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
So I found out what was causing the issue. I went into the ##3282# menu and navigated to Others > HDR/1X Selection and turned it to Hybrid mode and now I can access 3G and I'm gonna test 4G after work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Marty:
So from what I understand, apps cannot be installed to the storage card on the S4, correct? Is this fixable with root or maybe a custom ROM? Also, when recording video, will the S4 at least be able to write to the storage card when doing that? And for something like Orange Backup that can create nandroids while in Android, does anyone know if it will be able to write to the storage card? I assume that recoveries like TWRP and CW will have no issue recognizing the card and installing zips from them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jejb:
Yes, you can tell the camera to use the SD card. Not sure about Orange Backup, but I've got TWRP on my S4 and it gave me the option of using the SD card, which I took advantage of.

Can't answer your question about custom ROM's being able to give us the app storage transfer to SD option. That would be nice, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kyhassen:
Hey jejb does that make the apps install on the SD card?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jejb:
Not every app. Some give you the choice to use the SD card, some don't. And if the app does not give you the choice, it's hard to move the app/data to the SD card for most programs on this release of Android OS.

There are some threads on possible work arounds, but I've read mixed results on them so far.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DD7374:
Hi, I am hoping that someone could give me some guidance. I have an unlocked Latin American atrix 2. Evidently it's running the 2.3.6 gingerbread software. Normally I probably wouldn't care about outdated software. But it appears as though I am unable to download many apps from the play store with this outdated version. I tried to check for updates via the phone itself, but I get the message saying that the software is already up to date. Of course that's not true, but I'm guessing it's because the phone isn't branded with AT&T and things just rent registering as they normally should.

I have never rooted a phone or flashed a rom. This is only my second android phone. I have become very overwhelmed with the information that I have obtained tonight through my reading up on this phone and software possibilities, so please keep this in mind! What should I do? I may be wrong, but I guess my options are to go with an ice cream sandwich upgrade or the newest jelly bean upgrade. I'm not sure if either or both are compatible with the Latin America version of atrix 2. Everything I've found on this site references the Asian version, which this is not. I don't want to give up on this phone because I like it otherwise... And already have all the accessories for it. Will someone guide me please into finding a solution? Thank you very much.

Please keep any advice simple and as user friendly as possible please. I know next to nothing about flashing roms, etc. Thank you again. I'm just hoping for the easiest way to make this phone completely usable and not outdated.
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
The easiest way is to flash an ics fxz..since your phone is not at n t branded you can flash any fxz except at n t..check out the development section for the fxzs
[Motorola Atrix 2] DD7374:
Thank you for the suggestion, I searched the atrix 2 development forum and a whole assortment of topics appeared, all of which are beyond my understanding. If you have time and are willing, perhaps you can point me in a more specific direction. If you can provide me with a specific link, that'd be much appreciated. I've never flashed a rom or rooted a phone etc. before. I'm stuck.

You need 3 things:

The firmware (ICS 4.0.4): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934874

RSD Lite: http://fwteam.grupoandroid.com/OTAs/RSDLite6.1.5.zip

and Drivers: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/78863/p/30,6720,8109

About firmware: Doesn't matter if it's latam, I am from Peru and Claro is my carrier. You can install the five first if you are very sure that your phone is not AT&T. In my experience the ME are more FASTER than MB, but if you are like me, I love my native language ESPAÑOL, and the spanish language of ME is not complete. I recommend you MB865 Version: 6.7.2_EDEM-18-ASIAOPS It works very well for me XD.

Later of download firware and install RSD Lite and drivers What you need to do is:

Connect the phone to PC

Turn off the phone and then press the volumen +, volumen - and power button, the three at the same time.

Then, you select AP Fastboot.

Open RSD Lite and click the three points (...) and select the firmware downloaded

Click Decompress only wait and...

Click Start button and wait...

Obviously in the proccess do not disconnect the phone. And you need 50-60% of battery at least.

It takes about 10 minutes aprox and the first boot takes another 10 minutes. All you need to do is wait until your phone ask you to SELECT A LANGUAGE.

This video can help you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prToF5JXqSA

the difference is that you must select your firmware downloaded.

Espero te ayude

Se você é um geek como mim, você tem que experimentar esta ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2121029). É muito mais fluida que ICS 4.0.4. Você sempre pode reinstalar ICS 4.0.4 se você não gosta de JB 4.2.2/CyanogenMod 10.1. É outro procedimento. Notifique-me se você se anima. :)

Saludos,
[Motorola Atrix 2] igorl:
Então vamos praticar,rss, mas essa ROM que voce falou esta tudo funcionando? e essa outra ROM desse link -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2092107, o que voce acha dela? Estão dizendo que é oficial da motorola china.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alrojas:
Atrix 2 (MB e ME) foi atualizado oficialmente a ICS 4.0.4. O que você mencionou é uma atualização de Motorola, mas não foi oficialmente liberarada. Como todos os ME, é muito mais fluido que o MB. Só tem idiomas Chinês(e variaçoes), Inglês e Espanhol. Para mim funcionou tudo, mas gosto do espanhol e a tradução não estava completa. :/

Sobre 4.2.2/CM10.1, Para mim tudo funciona exceto o HDMI. O gravador de video não permite 1080p, só 720p. Mas eu não uso essas funções então não é um problema pra mim... por agora rsrsrs.

Pra algumas pessoas a pantalla fica preta, mas não e meu caso XD. Ninguém tem certeza porque isso pasa.

Entao até que uso a saida HDMI, mas voce acha que vale a pena passa para rom 4.1.2 Jellybean da china , porque em questãõ do ingles não tenho problema se tudo estiver funcionando , voce chegou a testar ela?

Se eu pegar e colocar essa rom 4.1.2 CN , Posso posteriormente voltar para o ICS 4.0.4, pelo mesmo processo RSD lite? e outra coisa quando eu instalei essa rom 4.0.4 coloque o idiome em portugues, mas hoje testei o english, mas quando fui selecionar o portugues novamente nao aparece na lista de idioma, porque?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alrojas:
Vc pode voltar a ICS pelo mesmo processo. Sobre o idima tenta WIPE CACHE.

Connect the phone to PC

Turn off the phone and then press the volumen +, volumen - and power button, the three at the same time.

I'm running jmz stock rom, no problems, but recently I've seen that my Cpu voltage has been kept at 1.4 (full over clock) and it won't come down unless in deep sleep. I've tried Cpu control apps, they don't seem to work. Not sure what the problem is.
[HTC One VX] lateral18:
did you change the cpu governor to performace?
[HTC One VX] Johann12911:
govenor is set to smartassV2. ive tried changing it to all of them, when the screen is on and the phone is not in deep sleep, it is running at full speed for some reason.
[HTC One VX] lateral18:
that used to happened to my inspire 4G

i had to reset it . that usually fix it .
[HTC One VX] Johann12911:
i wiped, reflashed, whatever there is i can do and it STILL is running on max cpu frequency. it makes the phone very hot, and uses quite alot of battery throughout the day. better battery stats just says that system is using the most, and that 1.4ghz has been running 100 percent of the time (unless screen off ((deep sleep)) )
[HTC One VX] lateral18:
if i remember correctly , it was an up doing it to my phone ,

you said you wipe and reflashed , did you installed the same apps .

honestly i dont see why using battery stats.
[HTC One VX] Johann12911:
problem still persists, not sure why though. seems when i restart it sometimes it will do it, and other times it wont. Usually waiting for the phone to cool down, then restarting it fixes the problem. Not sure why.
[HTC One VX] el_venga:
Flash jmz linaro kernel and use any app to lower the cpu freq. That's how I have been using mine since v1. No heating or draining issues so far. I use smartassv2 as governor.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
I've read the other battery thread and users are reporting that the Galaxy S3 battery fits into the S4 albeit with a little gap on the right side of the battery compartment.

The galaxy s3 has a official 3000mah extended battery. I was wondering if anyone knows it would fit into the S4 without having to use a extended battery cover.

Basically, measuring the sizes of the S3 extended battery and the S4 original stock battery would give a good indication.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
1 thing to note is that the s4 is 7.9mm and the extenend battery makes the galaxy s3 +10mm so even if the battery fits the back door won't even close
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
10mm thicker? That doesn't sound right.

I'm referring to the Official 3000mah battery by Samsung, not the OEM Chinese 3000mah extended crapttery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
not 10mm thicker

i said around 10mm thick

and you do realize the only way to have more mah on a battery is to increase its size
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillaHurtz:
Quick answer. NO.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
You do realize that I was referring to the official samsung extended battery which is 1-3mm thicker than stock?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
yes which makes the phone 8.6+1-3mm=max 11.6

galaxy s4 is 7.9mm the door won't close

Hey All,

As the title (I hope) indicates, I'm looking to get a bluetooth keyboard to hook up to my INC2. I (suppose) foolishly bought a keyboard already (Motorola Xoom) and I thought no prob- updated software, bluetooth is bluetooth, and I should be good to go. Not so. I can pair them, but I cant get they keyboard to actually work as an input device.

Also, I cant seem to pair that keyboard (successfully) with my PS3. I dont think I'm just bad at pairing things, as I'm able to do it with tons of other stuff, so I'm looking for advice. Did I pair it wrong somehow? Do I need to get a different keyboard? Will the INC2 just not work with keyboards?

Thanks so much!

Sleepraider
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sleepraider:
nothing?Any thoughts? Is the keyboard crap? Is this a obvious thing that I missed? Any keyboards known to work that are relatively inexpensive?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lightninjay:
See if you can find an app on the market that supports bluetooth keyboard support, Most often what you need is a substitute keyboard app, kind of like when people hook up PS3 remotes or wii motes to their phones. Here's a link to an app I just quickly searched up as an example. I can't personally vouch for it though.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mybesttools.btkbservice&feature=search_result
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sleepraider:
Alright.. I'm giving it a quick try right now. Had thought I tried that app, but I tried a ton w/o any success., so I'll try again.

FWIW, this is one of the most important features for me at this point, so I'll do any ROM the INC2 can handle if it means making this work.

Sleep
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sleepraider:
Tried it.. and pretty much every decent looking app I could find in the app market.

Testing now to see if I can pair my new keyboard to my desktop via bluetooth and if that works. Maybe the keyboard is actually dysfunctional?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sleepraider:
I'm back and I wanted to supply more info. I connected the bt keyboard I just bought with my desktop.. it works great on there.

I connected my desktop BT keyboard to my phone-- same prob; it pairs, never connects. Looking much more like a phone/software issue IMO.

Wondering if this is the phone (shouldnt be, right?) or if this is my ROM. If its the ROM, any ROM that might work? Any solution....at all?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
The only way you're going to know if it has any possibility with working is if you can pair it on the stock official (or close to official, ie...andybones stock) software. If it doesn't work there, it's highly unlikely that it will work on any rom. If it does, then you'll probably have to just try each rom one at a time. I don't think that's a highly sought after feature for other people though, so it's unlikely much development has been put into it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sleepraider:
Sadly, I think this is true and I just need to find a different solution. I'm a grad student and where I work blocks my gmail, which was the main reason I wanted the keyboard, so I could type well formed responses while at work when not busy, and not have to wait to do all my "student work" when I get home from work. I guess I'll likely end up finding another solution. Perhaps I can use my netbook with my phone and get a wifi hotspot going to be able to answer emails? I guess I need to toy a bit more.

Sleep
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
It sounds like you are opposed to on-screen keyboards, but have you tried any custom ones? I can type very quickly with swiftkey...
