[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex3305:
I just looked briefly through those mods and for me most of them are just placebo's. Since ICS most of the build.prop tweaks are just placebo's that will either work or not work depending how Android is compiled. And if they 'work' most of them just doesn't do anything. For instance, there was build.prop tweak in there to enable 3G or HSPA, but those are already enabled by default. This build.prop tweak will only show the difference between those speeds with a notification bar icon. Also the wifi tweaks can break a stable connection to your ap.

Just remmeber this; if a tweak is that good and stable enough, why wouldn't a developer at Sony or another company implement it in the stock rom? Do you think they want to only screw with you and your device? Making it slower on purpose? And why didn't CM include those tweaks? Because it's just a placebo. Both of them will (try) release the most stable and fast solution there is and not screw with you or your phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venky716:
Ya i had that feeling too that's y i went through a lot of threads about these tweaks before implementing them, but i have to say few of them did work wonders and increased smoothness and battery life. Like these:

Build.prop-

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

Thats y i'm not skeptical anymore and want to squeeze out how much ever i can out of XZ. So i ask if anyone knows any good tweaks compatible with XZ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamtan:
can please elaborate what does each do?

i found this small tweaks here for the Z, not sure how much better did it work though.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venky716:
Thanks I've added those to build.prop already :D

pm.sleep_mode=1 - enables deep sleep when idle

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0 - switches off the cpu cores when idle,there are 4 other modes (1,2,3,4,5) each has different ways to switch off the cores 0 is the most battery friendly as it does it asap.

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1- locks launcher in memory

debug.performance.tuning=1 - improves touch responsiveness

video.accelerate.hw=1- smooth video playback

there are a lots more http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29627835

This is an excellent resource for build.prop tweaks that debunks almost all the myths regarding the tweaks people put in them: http://www.jeffmixon.com/examining-build-prop-tweaks-for-android-ics-a-comprehensive-guide-part-1/ and http://www.jeffmixon.com/examining-build-prop-tweaks-android-ics-comprehensive-guide-part-2/.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
Sorry but you're pretty much wrong on everyone of those..

Pm sleep mode hadn't worked since gingerbread

Ril is radio interface layer. That hack was supposed to enable a low power mode for radio. It never worked.

Home app was discontinued in ics

Debug the modern version is already in build prop

As is video accelerate

So they are just placebo
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venky716:
I've already come across those articles when i was searching around, after reading through a lot of such blogs i went ahead and decided to test the tweaks.

Placebo or whatever it may be i did see a difference and most importantly they didn't seem to cause any problems so whats the harm.

I have to mention one thing though, as i found a lot of articles against the working of build.prop tweaks i couldn't manage to find anything against init.d ones so does that mean those tweaks work ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
No. Just because they are in a different place doesn't mean they are going to work.. This is not magic... this isn't apple...

We have source code it's very easy to find out what could and couldn't work...

Let me sell you my range of magic butterfly badges, artfully curved and imbued with all manner of secrets unknown to most.

If there is *no code* to do respond to these calls you are putting in , then they can't make any difference.

Do you know a few years ago some of us made some of these up?

I upgraded to wm2003se, then lost bluetooth to activesync functionality. xda and pc can find / pair but no sync, no response at all. used to work previous to the upgrade and cradle syncs fine. anyone?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Robson:
happened to me as well but what i did was uninstalled both the sctivesync and bluetooth software in my laptop. resinstalled a.s. again and created a new sync using the cradle. rebooted my pc and my xda; reinstalled my bt software in the laptop, rebonded and from there bt-sync worked again.

hope that helps
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ranajee_87:
HI baboyako

i also face thats problem,,,

Robson i did thats but not works for i use windows xp sp2 so hlep again
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Robson:
ah, the windows xp sp2 thingee again :D even before i started using bt-activesync i noticed that i could only go as far as bonding the laptop and xda via bt. i noticed that i couldn't get them to sync despite numerous attempts and install-uninstall bouts. i did some reading in the internet and found out that sp2 was not really "compatible" with the software i was trying to use; in this case the bt widcom. i did come across this website and the chap there uninstalled sp2 and downgraded to sp1. so i did the same; i downloaded the sp1 package, uninstalled sp2 on my laptop, reboot, installed sp1, reboot, and went to the process of reinstalling my bt and activesycn software. whew. quiete a chore that one. bt-activesync worked afterwards. when i upgraded to wm2003 se; i had the same problems mentioned by baboyako...which led me to uninstalling and reinstalling my bt and a.s software. lunch time in an hour...could use a beer! :D

cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] baboyako:
One thing though: it worked ONCE. I mean, I've been having that bt-activesync sp2 problem but just ONCE, it synced! couldn't get to do it again though... :cry:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrismyu:
Hello. I got the s4 on release and have noticed during my commute I am on 3g for a great majority of it. When I had my bionic I never had any issues staying on a strong 4g connection. Does samsung have weaker antennas compared to motorola? I am running hyperspeed rls2.

Also i noticed many of the times when I take my phone out of my pocket it is on 3g then takes a minute or 2 to get back on 4g which was never an issue on the bionic either... Thanks for your input!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CCoR87:
Have you tried resetting the sim card yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrismyu:
How does one go about that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Diversion:
It's hard to compete against a lot of the Motorola phones or HTC with Samsung.. The best signal i've seen for Samsung has been the Note2 and it's probably due to it's enormous size. It probably has a better antenna setup. Now the RazrM is probably the worst Motorola phone for signal and my S4 gets 4G in places the RazrM cannot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrismyu:
Do you know if Samsung is known for having weaker antennas than it's competitors? I find it strange that a phone as nice as the S4 would lose 4g connection just from being in my pocket...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
they are.. the nexus had horrible radios and the s3 was decent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrismyu:
how would you say the s4 compares to the nexus and s3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oilfighter:
From my side by side testing S3 = S4 in terms of reception.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blazerboy567:
I am coming from a sprint gs3. The gs4 and verizon service is 1000 times better LMAO!!! Im staying with verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrismyu:
yeah.. verizon is definitely on a different level than sprint..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
yeah s3 and s4 seem pretty much the same. s4 seems to get faster data on 4g than my s3, though..then again, i've never had dropped s3 calls before or anyhting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yyhd:
Samsung is notorious for having weak radios.

Motorola has a good rep for having the best radios in their phones.

The Samsung basically fixed the S3 radio problems in the Note 2, but I'm noticing my S4 radio is not on par with my Note 2 radio, to be honest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrismyu:
thanks for your input! i thought i read somewhere that moto had good antennas and such.

Since the base is Evervolv, the following are still an issue:

usb tether

wifi tether only works as 'open'

Also, does it fix the random reboots issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] elartista3390:
yes it does., there arent random reboot:)
[Nexus One Android Development] jhsiao36:
Thank you very much for this rom. I second your statement - I have yet to experience a random reboot in the 4 days I've been using your rom.

The only minor/strange bug I am experience is that I cannot change the Ringtone or Notification sounds to anything else other than what it is first set at (Sapphire and Antimony). If I attempt to change the Ringtone for the first time, I can select one of the many other Ringtones built into the rom, but when I go and change the Notification, the Ringtone automatically switches back to Sapphire, and I no longer have the laundry list of ringtones to choose from. Same goes with the notification - I lose the laundry list.

No big deal, since ringtones don't matter to much for me.

I find that I can set ringtones/notifications/alarms using ES explorer, but then that those sound files that I choose then end up in my play music library, even if I put a .nomedia file in the respective system folder.

Thanks again for the great rom!

I'm currently on Avatar's JB ROM with Wind kernel, how do I revert back completely to the stock Telus ICS/GB?

It seems that HOINO's stock Telus ICS ROM is giving install errors.
[LG Nitro HD] NFleck:
Did you do a nandroid backup directly after rooting your device as recommended by most people?

If so, simply revert to that, and if you're using cwm as your recovery at least, I know it backs up your original recovery so you can just delete the cwm recovery.IMG, and rename the backed up recovery to recovery.img

Now do a factory reset, load into stock ROM and use your rooting app to unroot. Factory reset again and that should be that.

If not you may have trouble getting back to true stock, as many of the stock imgs that are around contain all bloatware removed which would require root, which should void the warranty if that's an issue for you..
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
i know for me i soft bricked when trying to install CWM recovery because i hadn't read about locked bootloader, and then unbricking doesn't bring you to a stock telus rom it brings you to stock at&t at which point it's impossible to backup stock telus rom.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

i believe one of the ways to return to telus stock is by flashing a stock telus KDZ, i have never wanted to return to stock so i don't know the exact steps, what you need to do is find a telus kdz from a reliable source and make sure its for your model and everything, then read a guide how to flash kdz in order to return to stock you should be able to find guides on these forums if you can't then i'll try to help but i think they are easy to find

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

however if you want STOCK ICS experience i don't even recommend returning to telus stock rom.

if you go at&t ics rom it's better, but it has the same stability as the stock telus rom. the only thing it's missing is 2 or 3 telus apps, but you can find those and install them on your own if for some reason you need them.

the link to the rom i use when i want a stock rom that supports everything (including MHL) is this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980541

all you have to do is add Telus APN in order to get your data sms and mms working. this rom is 100% stable like stock rom all he did was remove bloat and crap you don't need, i also recommend installing the ICS wind kernel as your kernel, its far better than stock and 100% stable on a stock ics rom.

you want ics p930 3.6

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2119976

unless you have an su640 if so get 3.6 ics su640

i'm also not sure if the rom i linked supports su640 u might want to check that if u have it before flashing.

i recomend using this rom because you can keep a recovery on your phone and still do backups and stuff that you can't do with a real stock rom, however this rom has everything that you would want a stock rom for.

you can also continue to test new roms as they come out until you find a custom rom you like (while still having a stock backup in CWM recovery to revert to in case needed)
