Hi,

I have an XT912 and it doesn't work here in Sydney Australia. I get signal but no 3G data at all.

I'm thinking would I need to flash it to an Australian retail JB?

It's running 98.72.16.XT912.verizon.en.us. Would a 982.124.14.xt910.retail.en.au firmware work on it?

If so how do I go about it? I've looked through the forum and google so many different ways and methods I'm honestly confused as I have never done anything like this before.

Any help?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bladebunbun:
Update: I didn't need to Firmware update as the APN settings were blank, I entered them in and all is working. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
For the record tho, incase someone that doesn't know reads this thread.

NO, ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY HELL FREAKING NO, you NEVER EVER EVER flash a ROM for a different version of a device (or for that matter the ROM of a completely different device, you'd be surprised just how often that happens on here) unless said ROM says it will work with your version of the device.

Salutations developers and and moderators,

I appear to have some issues while trying to unbrick my Kindle Fire 7" :crying:. Originally, I flashed the wrong TWRP recovery and it made a red screen. I then bought a fastboot cable and last night, I accidently erased the bootloader. Screen will not power on and fastboot mode is not coming on. Can anyone please help me without spending any extra money and opening up the device? Thanks in advanced
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seokhun:
Originally, a repairer can open up the device and perform a bootloader repair using the JTAG as a way to feed currents into the device to power it up temporarily for the repair. However, I've never heard anything about Amazon's devices having JTAG compatibility.

You have a paperweight on your hands. The fastboot cable was the very last resort.

This should fix your issue with GPS not locking and GPS not acquiring satellite!

IT IS NOT THE CUSTOM ROM YOU LOADED ONTO YOUR ROOTED DEVICE LIKE MOST of you may think.

This is an issue with samsung and specifically samsung verizon products ie: S2 S3 Note, Note 2 etc...

And mods governing these forums please sticky this thread and maybe post a link at the end page of all those other question threads regarding GPS's not locking or requesting GPS help

Go to Settings

Application manager

click all at top

go to Google services framework

clear data

Then

go to settings

Application manager

click all at top slide bar

go to maps

clear data

uninstall updates

Go to location services

turn off VZW Location service or disable it all together if you have the option

Power cycle phone

update maps from android market if your phone auto updates after you reboot that's ok, my note 2 auto updated maps and my gps worked fine

That's it your GPS should be working now

I did this after fighting for days with my gps...allot of people are using wifi location and thinking they are getting a lock...I used this after getting 0/0 satellites and now getting 13/21...very accurate...I tried this in my house...did not work...only outside(I know its in the instructions:()...thanks

didn't even think about this duh me!!! way to look out for the community this should def be stickied!!! Thanks in advance to all those that you will help in the near future...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
The issue with GPS is within the rom. Differedt Devs use differet things to make sure that all things work. Please read your rom forum to make sure you do not have issues. GPS is a problem with "some" roms until the devs include the needed libs. There is no simple fix as of yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
I have no idea what y'all are talking about. What problem with gps? and what rom are you all using?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
While that was true when the phone came out by now the devs have blaced those libs in and are testing different ones because it will fix 95% of the peoples GPS but there are still the fringe 5% that it doesnt get fixed. It isnt just a ROM problem, devs in the S3 forums theorized that there was still data left over from your previous rom and that was causing the issue but there is no consensus on what exactly is causing the problem. I believe it is the previous ROM leaving things behind because on the S3 and this phone if GPS doesnt work from the start a quick flash back to a TW ROM, activating GPS, getting a lock, and loading your nandroid or reflashing your rom will have it fixed. The same thing happened with the NFC on the S3 and the fix was the same, so it seems the TW ROMS are leaving behind bits and pieces.

This is easier than the flashing a different rom process and it works for a lot of people, including myself, so it most definitely works, it just may not work for everyone. Then again nothing on any phone works perfectly for every single person.

AOSP ROMs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
Never had a problem with gps on them, but I stopped using AOSP weeks ago.

Either way, ty for the clarification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
International based ROMs sometimes given people problems with gps too. I've never had a problem though because I get a navigation lock them immediately flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
This made a remarkable improvement on my phone. I actually switched to the note 2 from an S4 and the phenomenal GPS is the only thing I missed.

This makes it close :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
my gps has worked flawless from day 1...part of the reason why I stick with stock verizon

based roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Ive actually had issues with GPS on stock Verizon roms. I dont think any are free of it and it may just depend on the phone. I never had any issues with ANY rom on my S3 but with the N2 I have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I actually had more issues on my s3 getting a lock. Note 2 has been solid so long as I have a lock before flashing any rom like kintwo said
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
See I've had the exact opposite experience and am having the issue again. Each time it seems harder and harder to fix.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iblakejames:
I recently bought a galaxy tab 2 7" 8GB, but I can only use 4 of it. Would installing a custom rom give me more space? Its a shame that they really only give you 4gb
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluecarbon:
No, you will need to jump through a couple hoops and leverage your sdcard slot, by using a swap script, or an app like foldermount, gl2sd, or similar. Personally, i used the swap script when i was using 4.1.x, but now i use foldermount. The p3113 swap script is on these forums, and foldermount is in the play store, or the thread for it, which are in the android apps and games forum, or software development, i forget which.

Oh yeah, every option requires root access.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iblakejames:
Okay, thanks for the clearup, im already rooted so ill try the apps
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddog00:
Just a quick question since it's brought up. What class sd card is suggested for doing this method? I've read that class 4 is better than class 10 for doing this, but that was on my Xperia Play. Just wanted to make sure before I invest in one.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
I don't know if it is true,but I had a class 4 SD card on my xperia mini,and i when I bought a class 10 16 GB,the phone was about 30% faster with swap then class 4 with swap.

So I believed in classes ;D
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skazzy3:
Class 4 = 4mbps

Class 10 = 10mbps

You tell me.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakatu:
I have a 32 GB U1 which U1=Class 10 fyi.

My tab has 16GB storage but only about 12GB useable so it would make sense a 8GB only has about 4 useable.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NocturnalDroid:
Class 4 will never be as good as a class 10. I am running a Samsung Class 10 UHS-1 70MB/s read and 20MB/s write card and that is about as good as it gets. Anything higher is not supported by our device (read and write speed-wise you would be over-compensating way too much).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddog00:
I read somewhere that when using the sd card for apps and the such.

Ah, here it is:

This higher class # = higher speed across the board is a bit of a misnomer. Lower class (4&6) seem to have higher random access speeds, so when pulling up files lower than 6MB, it may behoove you to have a lower class card. Seems handy when pulling up photo and MP3. If you're transferring large files you may see speed increases for things like full movies or apps. Is it worth 10 seconds every now and then? I'll let you decide.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunalthakur:
Yes, it definitely gives u a lot more space because stock roms are filled with bloatware (pre-installed apps), which according to me are useless. If you flash a custom rom it is not filled with all that crap and will give u a lot more of storage like if you have an 8gb tab 2 u will get only about 3-4 gigs of free space on stock but if you switch to custom rom you will have around 6-7 gigs of free space.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradular:
No one has tried repartitioning space from system to data? System takes up over 1.4 gigs, so with most ROMs your wasting a gig of space.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Silvard:
Hey guys, I'm a former iPhone user and I just recently switched to android for several reasons. The ZL being my first android device makes it harder for me to compare but...does anyone else experience slight delays when it comes to having the lock screen come up when hitting the power button and waking the device?

I'm on a C6506, completely stock on the latest firmware (10.1.1.A.1.253) and less than a week old. My friends who convinced me to switch to android tell me that their devices (S2/S3/Nexus 4, etc) wake up practically in an instant, and I know that so did my iPhone, so this variable delay of upwards to a second and some is really, really irritating. Since I don't know anyone else with a ZL I can't compare performance, so I'm asking you guys so I can tell if it's what I should be expecting or if there's something wrong with my phone.

Here's a video to further illustrate what I'm talking about: Go on YouTube and watch?v=0fb0lt1sJgA, I can't post links because I don't have enough posts yet.

So yeah, some of these wake ups have a longer delay than others, but I've had even longer ones than the ones on the video. Is this normal behavior for the ZL?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
I have a small delay too like 1sec a litle bit slower than iPhone,my advice go back to iPhone if this wake up is annoying u :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Silvard:
It is annoying me, but it doesn't outweigh the many reasons why I'm switching to android. I just want to make sure I didn't get a lemon phone or something like that since I don't have a lot of experience with other android phones. I wanted to know if other ZL users had the same user experience as I did in this respect. If it's normal then I'll live with it, if not then I have to do something about it. By the way, did you see the video? Is it like what you normally experience with your phone?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
I didnt watch de video cuz is no link :) and what ever u put on ur post I cant find it on YouTube
[Sony Xperia ZL] augie7107:
Can a user possibly be irritated by a one second wake up delay? Has society been so weaned on instant gratification that a one second delay is an issue. Comical.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Silvard:
:( I'm sorry if I came across as whining. Please, don't misunderstand. I'm not complaining about a delay, what I want to know is if the wake up speed of my phone is inline with other ZL phones in general. My android using friends all report very different wake up speeds, but none of them use a ZL so I have no one to compare to, which is why I came here. Unlike more popular phones that have every bit of them documented I haven't been able to find other examples for the ZL.

As for the video, please search "xperia zl wake up speed" on YouTube. It should be the first video.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
yeah that's pretty normal i think .. the screen actually turns on instantly but i noticed that its more like a black wallpaper before the lock screen appears
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
I watched the video and the wake up speed that u have there is normal for zl,is the same like mine so no need to get annoyed about that.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Kiko_1272:
I just came on xda this morning to post about the same problem although have an Xperia Z.

I think it is due to the new upgrade in firmware as this started happening after I updated to 253 last night.

The delay is much more prominent than it was on the previous firmware.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Silvard:
Yes, I didn't really notice it until I upgraded to the last firmware, but since I've spent so little time with the phone and the previous firmware I wasn't confident enough that there was a difference. What you say lends more credence to that hunch. I want to test and compare with the previous firmware but first I'd need to familiarize myself with how to flash them back and forward.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Faddy89:
It does take some time. But not bothersome to me :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] maurier:
I had a similar problem to yours. I noticed a few times that when i wake up the phone with the power button and swipe the screen to unlock it sits there for a good 5 sec with no icons.

It seems to me that when I have bluetooth enabled and streaming audio in the car or on my bluetooth bose speakers it does this.

Once I disable bluetooth it goes back to normal.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Silvard:
I see, problem is this is without bluetooth enabled. Even wifi is disabled, only sound and data are enabled.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
I didnt have that problem but like some one said here not all the phones are made the same or maybe u guys have a app that is not working properly with the zl.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Silvard:
But this is with stock firmware, literally right after a repair/factory reset with no apps other than the stock ones installed or even user data on the phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] JRBT24:
One reason might be the Xperia Z and ZL's considerably long stand-by times on many tech review sites. It might be going in a 'deeper' sleep than what other android phones go to.
[Sony Xperia ZL] maurier:
narilym 001288

I believe the initial one sec delay that you are experiencing when unlocking the screen is normal especially if you are running a live wallpaper.

I remember my old Galaxy SII would get very unresponsive at times making it extremely frustrating.

In my case nutsuTo is right I have some app that's giving me trouble. I know some people have complained about the xperia randomly rebooting. Mine only does this when I do a full reset and then install and updates my apps in the google store. Then once I'm finished and exit to the home screen it will reboot every single time. I know some app that I'm installing or updating is making my phone reboot.

I'm just to lazy to try all of them one by one lol

Forgive my bad english :fingers-crossed:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Carlos:
This topic applies mostly to people who are very mobile or travel a lot. If you're at a desk for most of the day, it probably won't help you much.

This is something that originally came to me while sitting outside a car wash waiting for my car to be done. It took about ten minutes, long enough to make a couple short calls, send a couple of e-mails, or review/approve a short document. Unfortunately, by the time I got done SORTING through the list of tasks to find something that I could do there, with the available resources, in the available time, my car was almost done. I ended up dialing a call just as the attendant had my car ready.

I've generally used categories similar to the ones built into Outlook; Clients, Business, Personal, etc. Those have very limited use, and the utility they do provide is probably not something that helps much.

My solution has been to use categories for a location/resource and the Pocket Informant priority letters to indicate the range of time required to complete the task. For example:

"Call Joe's Pizza to see if they have anchovies back in stock"

Category: Call

Letter: A

So this tells me the task is something that I can do any time I have access to a phone and have 5 minutes to kill. I've arranged the letters in this way:

A: 5 minutes or less

B: 5-15 minutes

C: 15-60 minutes

D: More than an hour

My categories are:

Anywhere (can be done anywhere without other resources, IE, on a plane)

Assigned tasks (things I've assigned to others, don't need to act upon)

Calls (anywhere I have phone access)

Home (something I can only do at home, like "marinate steaks for BBQ")

Low priority (things I don't want to forget, but have a "whenever" priority)

Office work (things that generally require being in the office)

Research (things I can do with my laptop and an internet connection)

I also have various client-name categories. These are things I can only do when I'm on-site at a client's office. Other client work which I can do off-site goes into one of the above categories.

I think I need to further refine the "research" category since I have a Phone Edition device, and have limited internet access anywhere I go. This means I could be working on simple research or basic client support tasks via Terminal Services. Maybe I should have a "laptop" category and an "internet" category...? I'll take creative ideas here.

Sometimes an item falls into two categories, and it can get complex here. A task could REQUIRE two categores, or could be POSSIBLE in either one of the two. I've generally standardized on the latter, since typically for me that's much more likely. For example, if I'm at home or the office I can assume I have full internet access and my laptop. On the other hand, many tasks could be done either at a client's office or in my own office.

I'd love to further refine this and brainstorm with other mobile task-oriented people. Tell me what you think.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadnic:
Hey guys, i have a bit of a dilemma.

My phone has been running MeanRom 6.5 (or whatever the latest ICS version) since forever essentially. I have hboot 1.5 and am not s-off so I can't update my firmware so I've never upgraded to jellybean roms. My phone has been kind of destabilizing for a while now, but Im on vacation and it's just impossible to use now. Everything crashes, phone and messaging work maybe once or twice a day. Restarts are common, etc. I tried re-flashing my current ROM and it didn't really help.

So, I desperately want to update my firmware. I know I could use dirtyracun to go s-off and flash a new firmware, but I'm on vacation and don't have my pc which has a linux partition, and my laptop has no cd drive or any way to run linux for dirtyracun (because it requires linux, correct?). That and I've played around with DR before and had some trouble figuring it out. Not that it would be "impossible' to do, but i'd have to wait a little while just to give it a shot.

I was also wondering if it was possible to recieve OTA updates if I were to re-lock my bootloader? Probably have to go flash a stock ROM, right? Is this possible? I know I'd be screwing myself over in terms of going s-off, but i mean, hell, if it gets me a stable rom and updated radios then I can live with it.

Any suggestions would be awesome and appreciated!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
