As far as I'm aware there has not yet been a thorough and documented test of using International ROMs on US carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile for actual signal strength variations, data throughput variations, battery drain variations, or software compatibility with carrier specific applications due to the build.prop. Different networks have different protocol versions and different hardware on the network side which could require some specific tweaks to get the best results.

The other consideration I didn't mention in my previous post is that XDA is here for DEVELOPMENT purposes. I'm pretty sure most of the people on this forum who dabble in the software development process can understand and sympothise that the OP needs to highlight which carriers have been tested for compatibility.

Combine the forums

Add a sticky with carrier specific information for developers (that grows as we learn more)

Expect that users will read the developer release notes, the full OP, and use the SEARCH function
[One (M7) General] nugzo:
I really think more investigation in to this subject is needed. there is way to many people that are aware of the signal/icon issues that swear they are having speed issues too. Even connection issues. Some places they get LTE with an ATT rom and with an international they cant pull in a LTE signal in the same spot. I was one of the ones in the beginning that posted there was no difference, its just the icons, even ran tests. When i was in a great signal location the tests were identical as far as speeds, tested at home.

But now when i'm at work... My LTE speeds sucks with international roms. Noticeably slower than stock and slower than all my previous ATT LTE phones. I no longer have a stock ATT backup to do more testing. I wish there was an ATT ruu. Again its not like this all the time. Majority of the time i cant tell a difference.. It is a lot worse in low signal areas.

EVERY single ONE rom thread has ATT people talking about slow speeds somewhere in the thread. Granted majority are the signal icon, some are the 3g/H toggle, but there is definitely speed concerns for some. More investigation from an ATT dev is needed for this subject IMO. :)

Nail on head my friend :) Need more testing :)
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
It is highly likely that the issue has to do with build.prop and ROM-based radio settings.
[One (M7) General] nugzo:
Lets hope so. That would be a simple enough fix.... But i'm afraid we're off topic now. and to make it worse we arent even RD's lol :rolleyes: Sorry OP
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
As far as I'm concerned, this is an important topic for the thread. From what I can tell, these phone have all the same development codename, so different ROMs shouldn't be affecting signal.

The issue here though is the complete lack of engineering menus to figure out what changed for the RF side between carrier/international variants.
[One (M7) General] navalynt:
I apologize for continuing somewhat off topic, but here's some info if you want to test the current complaints. I'm in a week long VMware bootcamp so I really don't have the time or motivation to do this myself:

*#*#4636#*#* from the dialer. Go to the Phone Info menu and look at the signal strength. I believe this testing menu is universal for GSM Android phones.

If someone is motivated enough they could put the phone on a stand (DO NOT HOLD IT), write down measurements every few minutes and take a data speed test with something like Speetest.net app. Do this over the course of several hours starting with a full charged battery and stop the test when you drop below 80% remaining battery so you always know that battery was not a factor.

Charge the phone back to 100% and do this with several different ROMs (including stock AT&T or T-Mobile) then list a graph with the results and the averages.​

Just keep in mind that even with this methodology you have variables like voice and data traffic in your area which can cause "cellular breathing" and/or spikes in data speeds.
[One (M7) General] Becool0130:
I support the merge. However, software wise I've heard that us T-Mobile users absolutely need wifi calling!

Wifi calling FTW! It's a decent big difference @OP
[One (M7) General] Mikee4fun:
We already have it, go to ARHD thread.
[One (M7) General] jmwils3:
As it's the only way I can make calls in my house, WiFi calling is essential for me :)

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

Yes, though the feature was added by shinzlon. It's what got me to root my one, this feature is essential to T-Mobile users in areas with spotty service.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Voted for the merging of sub forums. Reasons are as follows.

1. Hardware wise they are all the same(Other than the sprint version which has different partition layout and this is important)

2. Radios are cross flashable regardless of different frequencies.

3. More unity on the developer's side.

4. Average users won't have any issues searching thru 3 different subforums.

5. Other devices that still doesn't have a sub forum will get a chance for a slot.

6. Software versions are cross flashable. T-Mo's WIFI calling can easily be addressed just by doing some if conditions in the updater-script

7. Can easily share development progress and works between devs.
[One (M7) General] matt95:
i agree, for me is yes
[One (M7) General] Mrkrackie:

[One (M7) General] Turge:

[One (M7) General] gunnyman:

[One (M7) General] gunnyman:

[One (M7) General] CaliCal:
merg the mugz
[One (M7) General] designgears:
I personally think all of the GSM models can be merged together at this point.

Compared to the AT&T version:

Tmo has wifi calling

Dev edition has a few extra bands, signal bars are a bit lower, wifi slightly different at the kernel level (fixed)

Int'l gsm version signal bars are a bit lower, wifi slightly different at the kernel level (fixed)

and I accidentally voted No, LOL.
[One (M7) General] dastylee:
i was born to say YES
[One (M7) General] wangtang2k:
A definite YES! Eventhough I ain't a dev, I'd love to see the different forums consolidated into one with multiple sub-forums.
[One (M7) General] EclipzeRemix:
Tbh there should only be a one HTC One Section, and have a sub-forum for the sprint roms
[One (M7) General] thesparky007:
This is a great idea as long as the devs mention anything in their thread if there is anything specifics to either carrier phones
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Instead of seperating the forums by carrier just seperate it between network channels like

"HTC One GSM"

"HTC One CDMA"

Only those 2 version vary critically specially on the partition tables. When S-Off comes and some newbie flashes a GSM ROM to a CDMA ROM & vice versa then it's likely a hard brick that would require jtag to fix.
[One (M7) General] Kev007:
Yes, but wouldn't it make sense to merge all forums except the development ones?

Specifically:

Merge:

General

Q&A

Accessories

Themes and Apps

Standalone:

One Android Development (International, AT&T, T-Mobile)

Sprint One Android Development

One Original Android Development (International, AT&T, T-Mobile)

Sprint Original One Android Development
[One (M7) General] tehdef:
I sort of agree. Make it all about the HTC One, then make the subforums under that. I mean, I get that people will be dumb, but that's their fault? Natural selection if they flash a GSM rom on a CDMA device because they didn't look 2 more subforums downt to see SPRINT/VERIZON Android Development instead of GSM, lol.
[One (M7) General] rpmccormick:
This is how I would do it (and then move Sprint down a level if other CDMA variants show up):

[One (M7) General] Turge:
And I thought we were trying to get it down to 5 :rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] EclipzeRemix:
That's a little complex no?
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
This is how it should be. With the above layout, there's only one forum and everything is explained fully as to what each sub-forum contains.

Will some people not pay attention and flash something they shouldn't? Of course they will but that's no different to what happens now.

It's unbelievable how many people have asked about different phones in this forum. One person actually asked about the Galaxy S2 over here :eek: That proves that the change Kev007 suggested will cause no extra hassle that isn't already present.
[One (M7) General] NJGSII:
The idea a few posts above is actually much worse than what we got right now.

The only section that should separate from the others is obviously the Sprint One Development.
[One (M7) General] tehkingo:
This makes the most sense out of all the options I've seen.
[One (M7) General] Becool0130:
I agree with the simplicity of it except, you have to remember that all GSM development can work on any GSM phone rather that be international or state side. CDMA is another story...

I propose this tweak then:

Merge: (All GSM)

General (gsm+cdma)

Q&A

One Android Development (International, AT&T, T-Mobile)

One Original Android Development (International, AT&T, T-Mobile)

Accessories

Themes and Apps

Standalone: (All CDMA)

Q&A

Sprint One Android Development

TBA One Android Development

[One (M7) General] poondog:
Sorry I am out of thanks for the day :(

But +1, I like this idea

Personally, I find the Evo 3D forums very easy to follow as it has a similar layout to above. Like it has been said, it is better for the end user and the developer when the forums are combined as the dev can get their work seen by more, and more users will be able to know about the amazing work that goes on. Because when the original CM10.1 thread was started in the AT&T forum, most International users did not know about it, as all they looked at was international forums.

Then maybe in the general forum, there can be specific AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile etc sticky threads where members can talk about the carriers, possible carrier options, carrier OTA's, everything carrier related.

That's my 2 cents, I see a very good community in here already
[One (M7) General] SmiLey497:
Make it just like the Galaxy Nexus forum http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1336
[One (M7) General] NJGSII:
That would be perfect.
[One (M7) General] mattman83:
I'm not even sure CDMA needs to be separated. [MENTION=3828647]torxx[/MENTION] has Sprint working as an aroma option in an otherwise GSM rom. Really seems to just be modem/build.prop/probably kernel stuff (from an uneducated user'a POV). It's only a first release so I guess we should see how it settles... but as long as devs clearly flag what networks they suit - it's probably safe to just merge EVERYTHING.

[One (M7) General] Red5:
Well well well, another great Dev gets the One... nice!
[One (M7) General] XsMagical:
I don't know ow about great lol but yeah I do have a few roms going. I'll post them here once I get them stable enough.

This can also be unstickied and moved to the General section for reference.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nlhaines12:
I´have the XT912. Ive been on 4.1.2 OTA for about 6 weeks. Recently I have been having some odd battery issues. When the phone is off and plugged into the wall it rarely shoes less than 80% charge. If I charge it to 100%, then boot up the phone, the battery meter will sometimes be at 100%, and at other times be at 50% or so. The phone will then quickly discharge, or at least give low battery warnings (usually the 5% warning comes out of nowhere). Sometimes the phone will abruptly shut off. If Im lucky I will get 20 mins of use. When I plug it back into the wall I again get 80% or something like that.

I tried factory resetting the phone, with basically no luck, though I do seem to get a bit more use out of the phone unplugged. In the process of resetting the phone I lost root (I have the superuser app but it fails to gain root access).

Some things to note:

I recently started using an external RavPower battery, which roughly coincides with these issues, though I used it fine for quite a while with no problems.

Im travelling in Peru and some of the outlets may be operating at odd voltages

Im thinking I need to use the JellyBean utility to reflash to stock (wipe data) then go from there. Any advice?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nlhaines12:
Nobody has anything to say? Might reflashing help or is my battery just toast?

Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Im worried about going forward with the flash with the battery issues looming. The device isnt very usable now, but if I brick it Ill have no phone/computer for 6 weeks.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
use matt utility and gain root

then install BMM and after a night left plugged in, enter recovery and wipe battery stats, reboot and unplug
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nlhaines12:
Thanks! So I should use option 3 (RAZR Blade) first, right? No need to reflash with option 1?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
didn't use it before, I'm a gsm user

follow tutorial :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nlhaines12:
Gained root, installled BMM, wiped battery stats, but still had issues.

Uninstalled BMM, installed safestrap 3.11 + LiquidSmooth 2.3 - still having issues.

Tried dumping battery stats since then with "Battery Calibration" app.

Battery quickly drains from 100% to 50% then shuts off shortly thereafter, however, I can boot into recovery and run the screen for another 1-2 hours, but as soon as I boot into a rom it shuts itself down.

I'm guessing 1 of 2 things is going on:

1) The roms are somehow getting a bad read on how much "juice" is left and shutting down prematurely

2) The battery is shot and cant supply enough current to run the phone+full OS unless its close to fully charged.

Without any knowledge of how batteries work it's hard for me to say which is more likely, or if (2) is even feasible at all. If (1) is a possibility is there a way for me to reflash the stock boot partition to possibly fix the problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would go ahead and do the Razr Maxx mod, but I am travelling and wouldn't be able to receive the parts, therefore if there is any reasonable chance for a software fix I'm all for making the attempt.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
I have read that there is a bug reading batt stats on 4.2.2 roms

Try on a stock rom
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nlhaines12:
What would be considered a stock ROM? A pure OTA grab or something debloated like WDSEA?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
both
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nlhaines12:
Flashed WDSEA 1.9.16 to ROM slot 1, problem persists.

Do the ROMs in ROM slot x (in safe strap) rely on the ROM loaded in the system slot in any way? Might reflashing the System slot with 4.1.2 OTA fix anythinig? Would reflashing this slot be risky?

Heblu you have been a huge help by the way.

I don't think people generally miss their unread SMS, even without any reminder app. If you had Inbox summary displayed on your Today screen, then you'll know you have unread SMS or emails.

If one couldn't hear the beep when a new SMS arrived, chances are one could not also hear the subsequent 30 seconds interval reminder beeps. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Argent36:
So apparently Samsung has special software related to the ability to wirelessly sync your Fitbit's via BT 4.0 to your GS3.....

I just got a Flex...and am running CM10.1 - wondering if anyone smarter than me can figure out why/how it works and if it can work on non-touchwiz ROM's

or perhaps can figure out a way to port that bit of code over so that it will wirelessly sync

Thank you kindly...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mistyv:
I would be interested in this too. So far I have only got it to work when I was briefly back on stock TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tremblingwater:
I'll also weigh in on this request. I'm running PA (over on the non verizon s3 here in the UK) but that doesn't have the option to bluetooth sync which is a shame.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zach471:
Also curious, just got a Flex today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cauchon:
It isn't syncing with my GS3 either, but I am running AOKP ROM so wondering if that is the problem.

Has anyone successfully synced the Fitbit Flex to a GS3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zach471:
It's the BT stack. Samsung has a different stack than AOSP, so it works natively with TW ROMs but not AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Halorl:
Is there a workaround or anything, or are we out of luck?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zach471:

Fitbit wireless sync

To got FitBit to Sync finally with my custom rom (ProBAM 4.4.4) .

edit the /system/build.prop file...

you can use the Build Prop Editor from JRummy. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor

change the:

ro.product.model=GT-I9505G

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

and save those settings, reboot, and now Fitbit will try to sync now. YAY!

Hello, ive had my Xperia Z a few weeks now, it has a locked bootloader which has never been unlocked, i rooted my device, flashed CWM, backed up my existing rom and then installed a new one, but i lost all my contact/system info so i restored my previous backup. It said restoring, then 'Failed to Mount /System.' I rebooted device, it just hangs on the Sony logo. The first time this happened i used the Update Service program to reinstall software and factory reset the phone fine, but now it says the battery is below 50% and it will not proceed.

When i plug the phone into the charger, the red light stays on, (Doesnt change colour) and it just hangs on the Sony logo, i cant access recovery menu either.. Anyone have any advice for me ?
