[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtySant0:
Hello community

I am able to get as far as unlocking the bootloader but I'm not sure as what to do next. I am on a fresh clean 4.3 stock upgrade Can some one suggest the best rooting method and possibly a very good ROM and kernel for this device please...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobWalker:
I recommend backing up your data before making any changes then follow the Nexus 4 Root Guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 to install your preferred recovery utility, either Clockworkmod or TWRP.

If you plan to install a custom ROM and kernel anyway, there really isn't much point in gaining root on the stock 4.3 ROM. If you must gain root on the stock 4.3 ROM, you will need to download Chainfire's experimental SuperSU v1.41 (available at http://download.chainfire.eu/340/SuperSU/SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip) and transfer the file to the root folder of the Nexus internal storage. Start your phone's bootloader by powering down the Nexus and simultaneously holding the volume down and power buttons approximately 5 seconds until the bootloader screen appears. Next use the volume up/volume down buttons to highlight Recovery and press the power button to start the custom recovery. In recovery press Install, then highlight the file SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip and move the button slider to the right to install root. Reboot the phone and update SuperSU from the Play Store.

There is a wide selection of custom ROMs and kernels available in Nexus 4 Android Development and Nexus 4 Original Android Development. Every custom ROM already includes a kernel, so you only need to download and flash a kernel if you need specific features inlcuded in the custom kernel. I recommend taking some time to review the ROMs listed in these two forums, look at the screen shots, and read some of the user comments regarding the ROMs that look appealing to you. Once you identify the ROM(s) you would like to try, download the ROM(s) and tranfer the zip file to the root folder of the Nexus internal storage.

Before flashing any ROM make sure your battery is charged at least 50%, then boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup of your existing setup. Next wipe data, cache, and Dalvik cache and install the custom ROM from the associated zip file. Bear in mind that the first boot after flashing a new ROM will take a few (5 to 10) minutes. After booting the phone configure your Google account, update your Play Store apps, and configure the phone settings to suit your preference then reboot your phone. Be patient: Try out the new ROM for a couple of days before making a decision to move to a different ROM.

Hi,

I searched this forum, but I couldn't find a solution for my update problem. I tried several times to update my German MDAc with this file:

http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/mda_i-iii_compact/ma_tmde_10601_130_10500_ship.exe

The problem is I get always the Country ID error 120. I tried the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and the cracked one. With this programs I just get a different error message/number. I tried also various other things: I did the [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 modification to RUU.conf, I disabled McAfee, I did a hard reset first etc.

Does anybody have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Please help

I used that one to upgrade my MDA Compact T-mobile (no sim lock) and it works so fine. I wouldn't know what is happening with your MDA...

Andre
[General Topics] ALuedtke:
Andre,

it's just a German T-Mobile MDAc which I bought 2 months ago. No modifications made. Just a 1GB SD-Card and E-Plus SIM card.

The T-Mobile hotline told me, that I might send it back for exchange/repair. But I would like to keep it....

[LG Optimus G (International)] iamterence:
Hey everyone. I am an Optimus G user, but coming from Sprint's side of the land. I know well enough that we have camera problems (no auto focus) on AOSP roms (camera is great on stock ROMs), but I was wondering if you guys had any issues with camera on your AOSP builds? Maybe some of us could collab with devs here and see what we can do. Our AOSP ROMs would literally be perfect (and a LOT would be officially supported) once the camera issue gets out of the way. I heard that we borrow a lot of custom code from the Nexus 4, which is why our camera is so screwed up, but I also heard the Sprint and International Optimus G's have the same 13mp camera, so here's to hoping for something. Thanks to anybody who takes out the time to look at this and respond!
[LG Optimus G (International)] iamterence:
Bump

Anyone...? :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
Official cm works great, no camera issues (But pictures still ****ty though), i think thats the reason of no responses.

On aosp, auto focus stops working when you exit camera app for 1st time. And starting to work if you wipe camera, till next exit.

Probably on exit its sending invalid lense parking settings to camera, causng it to hang. Or something like that
[LG Optimus G (International)] iamterence:
This is definitely a start! I'll start getting some of our people over here for some brainstorming :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] bigfdaddy2:
I have it broken down to the api level but idk how to modify it....

I've also got the 4.3 aosp camera hardware file which idk how to input into ROM....
[LG Optimus G (International)] phamluong92:
Do you try other app camera?
[LG Optimus G (International)] iamterence:
Yes, nothing works. :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] iamterence:
Would anybody have any idea how to fix our camera? Its definitely a software issue and not hardware. A member of ours got down to the API level, but doesn't know how to edit stuff. Could anybody help us? Please? :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
In App Ops which is a hidden feature in Android 4.3 I found a system application called "Shell" and when I had a closer look at it, Shell did not use ANY of the permissions it has.

Any idea what's with this Shell application?

Maybe it is to do with the sh execution binary or supports the system in a way.

This is what LG sent me today, don't know if I'm gonna do it, don't really feel like putting everything back on my phone.

"Good morning, thank you for contacting LG Electronics US. I will gladly assist you.

However to get this issue resolved lets perform the following troubleshooting steps.

**Factory reset will erase all the data stored on the phone. Please before performing a factory reset remove the SD card to avoid it being corrupt.**

1 Turn the phone off.

2 Press and hold Volume Down Key + Power/Lock Key at the same time.

3 Release the keys when the FACTORY HARD RESET screen appears.

4 Read the warning and press the Power/ Lock Key to confirm. Press the Volume Keys to cancel.

5 Press the Power/Lock Key to confirm once more or press the Volume Keys to cancel.

Wondering why if I leave my one set to lte only it holds it with no problems but once I change it to the regular settings is mostly on 3g?

TRUE I forgot to mention *#*#4636#*#* here I chage it to LTE only and just to clarify there will be no voice.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
I understand if set to LTE only that it "holds onto LTE better" I suppose, but is it usable? Once the LTE gets to around -120dbs on the One it is unusable I read. Sometimes at my work it will be on LTE but the minute I start using and significant data it drops to 3G.

[Google Chromecast] Sheolrock:
The little cast button keeps disappearing from all the apps on my devices and I have to restart the chromecast to get it back. If I manually switch to the tv input the chromecast appears to be functioning correctly though. Anyone else?
[Google Chromecast] solidspidey:
That's happening to me. I think it has to do with my router. I changed some router settings to see it if helps. I used to get the same 'disconnect' problem with my ps3. It happens once a week or so.
[Google Chromecast] andyman97:
I've been having issues with my verizon branded galaxy nexus. Completely stock. When I cast a music playlist, it doesn't continue streaming until I wake it back up. In other words, it will play one song and that is it. As soon as I wake the phone up and re-enter the play music app, it starts back up. I have wifi set to stay on when sleeping and I've tried it on both 2.4 and 5 ghz bands on my router. It may be noteworthy that this doesn't happen on my nexus 7 v2. That will continue streaming through the playlist.

Anyone else having similar issues?
[Google Chromecast] Sheolrock:
I'd guess your Wi-Fi is going to sleep. If the device that starts a cast disconnects it will stop after that song ends.

That's not the problem I'm having. On ALL my devices the cast button disappears from all the apps that can cast. If I change to the HDMI that the chromecast is in everything appears normal, it says ready to cast. A reboot fixes but within 24 hours it happens again.
[Google Chromecast] solidspidey:
Yep that's my problem. My router is really crappy and doesn't have Ap Isolation setting so I can't see if that's the issue.

Anyone else can chime in with possible solutions?
[Google Chromecast] sepsep3:
Same problem here. Works for a while and then the logo disappears in all the devices.

I have asus rt-n13u b1 router that is pretty crappy, but I'm using it only as an AP for my router that I got from my ISP. Anyways, I'm not sure where is the problem and how I can fix it. I had similar issues with AppleTV, but Roku seems to be the most reliable one of all. Thinking I should go back to Roku!

Any help would be appreciated.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Google says RT-N12 works, what's the difference between it and the N13?

I believe the Chromecast discovery relies on multicast, so check if your router has any options mentioning multicast.

¡Your phone must be

rooted

to edit system files!

Instructions

First of all, you'll need to know your carrier MCC and MNC. You can found these on wikipedia or in your APN settings

Navigate and open ./etc/fast-dormancy/fd_custm_conf.txt

You'll see two lines ending with MCC and MNC and two zeros

Change those zeros with the codes you look earlier and save

Reboot and enjoy

FAQ

What is fast dormancy and why should I bother?

Fast dormancy is a GSM feature which makes switching to sleep state faster

It seems a nice thing, where should I opt-in?

You are already in! Every recent phone supports this specification and sometimes it could really extend your battery life

So, what's all this bothering?

Well, the fact is that even though phones are usually perfect from this perspective.. unfortunately carriers are not. Some support this, other doesn't.

And wrong combinations can be battery killing. See the chart

OMG, I want my sleep mode back !11

Before doing anything, we must be sure you are affected by the problem. Asking directly to your carrier could be a nice thing. But sometimes this couldn't even be enough, since everything depends upon the antenna you are actually connected to.

So, how in the world could I check if I'm affected by the problem? :\

A first usual sign of the issue would be high "Android OS" battery usage and/or lots of com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup wakelocks.

Another quick testing method would be to simply use the fix for a few days and then revert your changes back if you find them unsatisfactory

I'm screwed! My phone isn't in the list or I can't find those files!

You had better first checking if the /etc/fast-dormancy/ folder is there and try. If not, check karkand's twin thread (be warned, potential brick inside)

Is this really worth the hassle?

D E F I N I T I V E L Y. Battery can last up to 30% longer after applying this fix! (admitted you had this problem before).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bwyan Benton:
Im gonna try it

But what exactly am i fixing/doing?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Forzaferrarileo:
Fast dormancy is also enabled in 6.2.B.0.200 ramdisk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Fast dormancy is a umts feature that SHOULD improve a bit data battery usage

But this has to be supported both from your carrier and from your phone

If one of these two doesn't support fdm (but the other does) you'll have an extreme battery drain (which you can see in a logcat or in the allarm tab of betterbatterystats)

If both parts has this support this fix could even led to an heavier battery drain

I have posted this guide because i read A LOT about this.. but all that i could find regarded only samsung and lg phones..

and BTW trying that made my phone bootlooping -.-

Can you explain why do you think that? ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
because, as i write below

i added that to my build.prop, and my phone got BRICKED

and since my vol+ is broken it's still bootlooping as of now and i need to wait for another hour or two that the battery discharge :mad:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
You may have typed it wrong if it says "=false" you cannot type "= true" it has to be "=true" notice the space. That's how it reads responses but also on some items if its corrupted it just rebuilds the .prop if I'm not mistaken
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
i'm quite sure that in the 3 times that i checked the spelling it was correct, but i could still have fail

anyway try and see by yourself what will happen

my biggest issue is that my vol+ doesn't work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
I'll try it when I get off work I bought an s3 so I'm willing to screw with my ion
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
you won't screw up nothing at all

my problems comes from my vol+ broken, so i can't hard-reset and let the phone properly charge for flashtool

if you have a normal xs, you only need to have a FTF in case of brick and flashtool installed
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Have you tried taking the back cover off and pushing the physical button on the chip or re-seating the plug?

How can I find out if my carrier and device support fast dormancy
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Well, i can imagine 3 things:

1) check the internet what users say

2) check if you have an incredible amount of alarms from com.sonyericcson.android.wakeup

3) try to disable it and look after a day or two if your battery life has improved or not
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Pertaining to the above picture of the ion main board I actually found two pins in that two sets of rows that reboot the ion when grounded to the USB cable . not a test point method but progress :P

I also found a point that shuts the ion down, this point is a short that shuts the board down so that may be useful in bricks? Mine won't backup a TA so I can edit/brick/test that idea but if someone has a bricked one let me know
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] digossantos:
Read only filesystem

maybe a dumb question, but, after pulling and editing the file, when I try to push it again it gives me:

failed to copy 'fd_custm_conf.txt' to '/etc/fast-dormancy/fd_custm_conf.txt': Read-only file system

EDIT: Well i did remount /system with rw permissions, as I said, was a dumb question. after all I did the hack. If my battery get improved as the post say, i'll post back.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Barleyman:
Sure you can if you have adb installed and working. Two-line batch file to fix it:

adb wait-for-device
adb reboot-bootloader

Copy that to notepad and save it as bootloader.cmd

When you double-click on the file, it'll wait until the phone comes up and immediately reboots to bootloader. Bootloop almost always still lets you connect with ADB even if only for one second, which is enough.

If you want to go to recovery, replace 2nd line with

adb reboot recovery
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
i know i can reboot into bootloader from adb

but i dont think adb works if my phone bootloop at kernel logo..

and with stock kernel i dont have a recovery
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Barleyman:
You have nothing to lose by trying ;)

I have got out of many bootloops this way. ADB may be available less than 1 second before phone hangs but I think it's one of the first things in a boot sequence.

Hi there,

I thought I had posted a reply last night, but clearly not.

Thanks for posting your tip. I am trying to follow it but even though I have root access, I cannot edit the file in ES explorer. The file properties show file is owned by ROOT and I cannot change that or the read write permissions for other users.

How should I edit the file, on a PC? Do I need to worry about permissions after that?

Also I am not clear why this problem only materialised this week, I am on O2-UK.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Use root browser lite
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
never had this problem.

make sure es is running in root mode

otherwise try root browser how thanitos suggested
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] icstm:
did not realise you need to use that root mode on es and then also change the read/write permissions for the individual files. Thanks.

OK so I made that change and that alarm no longer shows in BBS.
