Have now gone from Illusion Rom to LiquidSmooth and now to SlimBean in the hope of working 4G and GPS, which SlimBean listed as working, but neither 4G or GPS is working on my device. Reverted back to NoWizAOSPMod Rom after and still didn't have working 4G or GPS, and I'm hoping I don't have to flash back to stock with ODIN. Any idea where I should start?

Hiya guys,

Normally I would close a thread at request if it is worthless and only had a few posts. However since this is good, valuable info I will leave this thread open as it could potentially help someone else. Also because it may prevent someone else with the same problem from starting a new thread for the same thing since this thread already exists. ;)

The wait is over!

You may recall that XDA announced a development competition for the Sony Tablet Z, in association with Sony. The tablets were sent out, the developers have been working, and now it's time for the voting!

Here's how it works - I've put together a list of all the projects that are part of the contest. I'll give the link to this list in a second. You should read through all the projects (yes, it will take a few minutes, but please do take the time to read through it). Once you have read about all the projects, you will have the link to use to carry out the voting.

The information to vote is not posted here. That information is available within the thread of information about the projects. If you can't find it, you've not read about all the projects. Do not ask people for the link, and do not send them it once you have found it out - this is to make sure that everyone voting has read the information necessary. Don't bother trying to cheat, just read about the projects and you'll see how to vote.

Who is eligible to vote?

Anyone who was registered on XDA-Developers before 9 AM (GMT) on the 26th July 2013, and who is not a member of XDA staff. One vote per person. Any accounts created after 26th July will have their votes discounted - votes will be checked. This date and time was selected as shortly before information on the voting process was made available to competition entrants. Voting closes on Wednesday 8th August, at 19:30 GMT

Ready to look at the entrants?

Head on over to the thread about the competition entries! The information on how to vote is contained within the thread.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikki3:
Ok guys. so basically Ive searched the net through no hopeful results. What I have done is played around with my International S3 i9300 and installed some ROMs. In one of those roms there was option in AROMA installer to backup efs partition, i used that and it created a efs_date_backup.tar.gz

Where in date is the date/time when backup occured. Today I was flashing more roms to test until I found out that my IMEI got damaged and it restored to the generic one which is 004999010640000. I am looking for someone who can help me as in HOW do I restore the imei using the tar.gz I have or, if that fails should I unroot, go all to stock, reset counter and send to service centre? If the latter option is the only way (service centre) what excuse should I make?

Thanks in advance members of the xda community.

What should I tell them? My phone cannot connect to network to make calls and such stuff?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes. Tell them following advice in the internet, you should return it for repair because the imei no longer matches the sticker
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikki3:
And if they ask why it doesnt match the sticker I should say I dont know?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
They wont ask why....and you don't know why. You know how but not why.

I never advocate lying. If they ask specific questions, answer them. But its a silly problem that exists due to poor design so IMHO its their fault. Doesn't happen on other brands that I've owned, so if there's a chance to be vague in your responses,....

Hey,

Yesterday i was using my JAM fine, contacts were all there and everything, then today i open up my contacts and they are all missing?

The only thing i ran was maybe the club imate email config program, thats it.

Anyone have any ideas why this would happen?

I had to transfer them all from my sim again.

Thanks

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] johnannie:
Yep, that's what happens when you run that program. It tries to sync with Imates server and erases all of the information on your Phone. Lesson learned. Never do it again. I deleted Club Imate from my phone all together. :-(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] avyshnya:
the same happened to me. jam was turned to use server connection (to connect to i-mate services) and all local contacts were erased . . .
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
same experience here! never installed the imate customizations after that. if you sync with your desktop regularly i'm sure you'd get your contacts back :D

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unque1:
Hi Community

I think this is a bug with the Network Mode

I’ve run numerous tests to come to this conclusion but I cant figure out how to fix it

For the Dev Edition

The bands stated on the US website are

•	HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz

•	GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

•	LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)“

http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html stated these bands for the uk

United Kingdom	900/1800 (3G) 2100

So this handset should cover all UK bands expect but LTE (I'm cool with that)

The Network Mode options are

WCDMA only , GSM only , GSM/WCDMA auto, GSM/WCDMA LTE auto ,

When the phone is set to

WCDMA only: 3G and HSPA (H) connections work perfect But the 2G signal is very weak and drops out almost completely

When the phone is set to GSM/WCDMA auto it’s constantly set to GPRS(G) when there is a perfect 3G and HSPA signal available. But the 2G signal is perfect

This also option causes the phone to overheat and battery drain maybe because its trying to switch but fails to do this

The Power History shows that the drain is coming from the Mobile Network Signal

This phone should operate as normal GSM + HSPA (fall back to 3G)

The GSM/WCDMA auto isn’t allowing 2G signal and HSPA to work together

Should this should be a software fix for this Global handset ????

Thanks guys

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSS_Ghost:
Greetings!

Could you please keep us up-to-date should HTC offer a real reply/solution?

I'm on the verge of ordering a Developer Edition for myself (Belgium) so I would be using the same network frequencies as you are.

I can't seem to find others from Western EU who are using the Dev Ed and are posting about it, which makes it quite hard to gather intel, even whilst scouring the forums for hours on end...

This sounds like a possible dealbreaker, but I want one -badly- :).

Thanks in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unque1:
Deal breaker indeed

I will try to keep you posted but I doubt HTC will acknowledge this bug

what I'm going to do is open a ticket weekly till I hear something back as the handset is performing as it should

I know another user on her facing the same issues
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wosebasa:
Freq Band Setting

Hello Gents!

Maybe you guys might be able to help me. I recently bought HTC One Dev Edition from the US. My question is very simple I live here in china

and i was not sure if the band frequency would let me use 3G here in china. is it possible and would it also work on UMTS 3G? If it does how do i change it to that band? I would appreciate ur help.

here is my phones Frequencies

HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] What network are you using? it may be trying to use the 900mhz band in GSM/WDCMA mode, which is why its not working for you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSS_Ghost:
Hmmm no overlap ?

Why would this matter, if you don't mind me asking ?

The specs of the Dev Ed phone state a GSM band range of 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, and none of the other operation modes are piggy-backing on this frequency.

So if his network uses any or all of these frequencies, why would the phone have any issues with that while in combined (GSM/WCDMA auto) mode?

Kind regards,

Ghost.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
because some networks in the UK use 900mhz for 3G, which the dev edition does not have
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSS_Ghost:
Woops

Sorry, didn't know that.

Thanks :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
i wouldnt bother getting the dev edition to be honest without LTE and and full 3g bands you'd rather buy a Nexus 4

how much do they cost btw (full price including customs duty)?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSS_Ghost:
Well, since I live in a top 3 rip-off capital of the world, it would cost me approximately:

USD:

650 base price

136 import tax (21%)

110 shipping

30-ish bureaucratic import tax

----------------------

900 usd approx

Now believe me when I say, this is still cheaper than me buying the EU 32GB one in any local store.

Especially since I hope to evade the shipping cost by using a friend.

I'm keen on the One Dev, and I've been a huge fan of HTC phones ever since I got wind of them.

Anyways, we'll see...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSS_Ghost:
Two more questions...

@OP:

After re-reading your post, I came up with two more questions:

1. We are not alone... ?

Would you mind telling us where the other user is from ?

If not by country, then perhaps by operating frequencies.

2. HTC Tickets

Has your latest HTC ticket perchance resulted in a descent reply yet ?

Or are they being silent / beating around the bush ?

Kind regards,

Ghost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djalaal:
I'm thinking of buying a bigger battery for my GNex for better battery life.

I found a normal sized one of 2450MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-2450mah-li-ion-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-golden-215299)

and one that is 3800MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-38...e-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-prime-i9250-127595) but heavier, and bigger is size such that it needs a different cover (that comes with it).

What are you guy's thoughts on it? Forget the price, is the extra weight and bulkier phone worth the 3800MAh? Or should I go for 2450MAh? Perhaps I should just stick to the stock battery that came with it? Please give your opinions and reason why.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
I think you should stick with stock. If you play around a bit you van get a full day out of the battery. That's pretty decent for a smartphone. With the stock battery your phone stays slim and light. If you do want a extended battery I should go with the 2450 mah. Than you have a good balance between battery life and weight. 3800 mah seems too over the top to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidOnRoids:
Are we talking GSM or LTE here? Because that's a dream come true to have a full days use on the LTE variant with stock battery. I need to charge this bastard 3+ times a day on moderate to heavy use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razi914:
Dont buy those "golden batteries" , they can harm ur device, better go with orignal 2100 mah from samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sui785:
Also these golden batteries probably don't support NFC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rapydax:
I'm not content with my 1750 mAh battery, so I ordered a 3800 mAh extended battery. It will probably degrade after half a year if not earlier. But heck it was only €13 and thats like nothing for 6 months. The looks are horrible (from what I've seen on the internet), but I'll get used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djalaal:
Can harm, or will harm (confirmed)? And how is it that it can harm the phone? By delivering more than the mentioned voltage?

Oh, thanks. I just started looking into these batteries; didn't realize there is an official extended battery.

Oh, and I don't care about NFC, I never use it anyway. Heck, I don't even know how to use it haha.

I guess €13 is cheap spread over 6 months, but there that's not all there is to it right? The 3800 needs a different cover, so no more casing will fit on the phone isn't it? There is the hassle of having to order a battery from overseas every 6 months, and not to forget, the phone will become bulkier, heavier and uglier :/

If the 3800 battery degrades that fast (is this confirmed?), does the 2450 too?

I can only last a day with stock battery with light use (GSM version). Otherwise I also have to charge it 2/3 times a day with heavy use. That's why I'm looking into these batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djalaal:
A noob question. Does "extended battery" always mean you need a different back cover because of it's increased thickness? I know it's the case for the 3800, but also for the 2450???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:
well the 3800 is thicker than 2450 so it will need a bigger case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Resplendency~:
I once got 6hrs of screen-on time with a Seidio 3800MaH battery. I kid you not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djalaal:
6 hours screen-on from 3800? With what connectivity settings turned on?

I kind of found the answers to my own questions. 2450 needs a new cover too, because it is slightly thicker than the stock battery. Every battery that has a different thickness need a special cover for it.

With different size covers, you need different casing too. While I found nice casings for 3700-3900 type covers, and quite nice casings for 2000-2500 type covers, I've seen almost nothing but complains about the batteries themselves. Not deliveries the promised MAh (from the start) or performance degrading very fast are very common complains. Some even talk of overheating, and ofcourse many don't support NFC (which I don't use).

I can't trust the battery will do what it says it will do anymore :/ I'll stick with the stock OEM battery. I'm now considering buying a power bank/portable battery charger. In a way it also gives me longer battery life - when I want/need it. Plus side is also that others can make use of it too.

Oh, and just for the hell of it. Check out this monster extended battery people: http://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-Ext...=1-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+nexus+zero+lemon It's the only extended battery I've found so far that I consider buying. Very good (and many) reviews too. *EDIT* It's only for the LTE Nexus, not GSM... */EDIT* But it's price is a little high for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Resplendency~:
It was quite impressive actually.

I had the used the phone particularly heavily that day, and suffice to say, I was quite.. Well, impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djalaal:
Appearantly not all Nexus batteries are the same? I'm using the GSM Nexus. Tell me if I understand this correctly, but CDMA Nexus is from Verizon, and LTE Nexus is from Sprint, and both are not GSM devices, meaning their battery (LxW dimensions) are not the same? How about these Nexus from T-mobile? Are they GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rapydax:
Meh for me the bulky back of the phone doesn't matter. It's not like you're looking at it all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Djalaal:
I don't care much about the look either, but the weight, size, and especially difficulty in finding a good case for it, I do care about.

And external battery (power bank) is cheaper for the amount of MAh you get, gets to much higher amount of MAh (10000MAh is quite common), can charge any devices (that need 1A or 2A input to charge) and mutiple devices simultaneously (unless you got a real cheap one). So for me I'm sticking with the power bank. A cheap one like this one can already completely charge your nexus from 0: http://dx.com/p/swpkpower-a22620-rechargeable-2600mah-mobile-power-bank-w-aroma-white-228492
[Nexus 4 General] kien:
Is it just me or is anyone else not bothered about upgrading to 4.3 yet? The forum is littered with 4.3 questions/issues:

How do I get 4.3

Why have I not got 4.3 OTA yet

How to I get 4.3 OTA

How to I go back to stock to get 4.3

How do I flash 4.3 image

X app is now crashing on 4.3

I have no in call audio in 4.3

How do I get X on 4.3

Which kernel is best for 4.3

... the list goes on.

There's thread duplication everywhere. It's nice to see a new release but the updates seem quite minor to me, the only update I like is the better battery life. I'm quite happy to stay on 4.2.2 until a stable customisable 4.3 ROM and kernel is available.

Am I the only one in this boat?
[Nexus 4 General] PaulFernxp:
I think the main plus of 4.3 has to be the addition of TRIM into android.

This will dramatically increase the longevity of devices.

[Nexus 4 General] jvc63:
One of those things, people don't seem to understand that:

- They ought to just be patient and wait for the OTA if they are running stock. It will come.

- With every new release Android there is period of merging, bug fixing, and, of course waiting. Devs overcome the last issue by releasing half-completed ROMs and gradually add more features back in to it with more releases. Often means that you are upgrading in order to have fewer features.

Personally just going to wait until franco.Kernel has all features merged, PA is all complete, and everything is working properly in official releases (eg. the changes for root access). Less hassle, wipe, reinstall, restore, and go back to a phone that was functioning in the same way as it was before.

im thinking of switching back to cm10.1.2 and matr1x kernel. right now you gotta either stick with 4.3 stock or 4.3 custom rom and kernel but get used to the little bug here and there. i'd say not worth it for 4.3 now. yes it's a bit smoother and battery life is a bit better, but for me all the hassles are not worth it at thr moment. glad there are a lot of people stick to 4.3 custom roms and kernels so they can test those out and report bugs to the devs, but for me to use this phone as a daily driver, im thinking going back to my stable 4.2.2 setup with greater battery life because of the stable custom kernel and uv.
