[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
I dropped mine out my bedroom window by accident, taking a picture of a beautiful sun set and and the window blew shut and I dropped the handset.

It bounced down the sloped roof below my window, the smashed screen first into the patio before bouncing and hitting the sundial.

I basically shat myself. But alas the only mark was a very small (3mm) crack in the light corner of the back glass.

It's also been dropped from around 6ft onto concrete face first, no damage.

BUT on a hot day last week I left it on my van's dashboard in direct sunlight. I had literally just replaced the screen protector and there wasn't any marks.

Come back an hour later and there is a large crack in the top right corner.... Caused by the heat!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trashkutys:
MG4 changes the efs partition now and will put generic IMEI if you flash an older baseband , right?

The question is if I flash "newer" android 4.2.2 XXUFME7 , will I need to flash MG4_baseband.zip to get my IMEI working or the flashing newer android won't affect?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its not newer. I know you're aware of that because you used "newer".

M = 2013

G = July

4 = Revision 4

Versus

M =2013

E= May

7 = Revision 7

It's release order based not android version based... so anything after July will change (or use changed) efs.

where can I find a new radio for my desire the reason is that the one that comes with wildmild roms (that are very good roms by the way) you carnt name the station yourself id like one that I can see what the station names are if I can
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Found them here

In the first result, click the mirrors link at the bottom of the first post.

You will find them in .zip format. However if you're using a recent recovery they won't install via traditional 'install zip from sd card' method.

Download the radio.zip you want extract the radio.img. Learn to flash the radios using fastboot (requires s-off), just read the fastboot part.

However, I'm still a bit confused, "you carnt name the station yourself"? What exactly are you trying to do? Changing radios may have an effect on mobile / wifi signal and battery, I don't know if any can "see what the station names are"...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] mofongoloco:
So I've had this DROID Bionic stoed away for over a year now since the company I worked for closed down and never asked for their phone back.

I was using my LG Revo (rooted) for the time being until I started to have some issues with it. So I booted up this phone, put in the VZ sim card and just realized that I've been missing out on so much!

I've been doing some research here and elsewhere and It's a bit overwhelming.

I'm currently on 5.5.886.XT875 and an OTA notification just came up saying "Update (5.5.893.en.US) has been downloaded and is ready to install."

Any help would be great on where to go from here.

Should I do the OTA update or should I just FXZ to ICS or JB? Is there an order I have to do this (Eg. 5.5.886 to 5.5.893 to 5.7.893 to 5.9.902 etc.) ?

It seems like the easiest thing would be to use SamuriHL's House of Bionic. But again, do I have to incrimentally update or can I just jump to a more recent version?

Also, the 5.5.893 OTA update that's on the phone seems to be downloaded from the last time I was in the US. I'm currently in Puerto Rico and the CDMA here only gave me 1x coverage on the LG and no data on the Bionic. So not sure if OTA updates would work here.

I would like to try to use GSM and/or use a SIM from a local carrier. I'm guessing root is needed for that.

Well, thanks in advance.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andy_in_Indy:
My wife has the Revolution and I have the Bionic. I can't stand her phone and hating trying to fix it. I feel your pain!

When you use the FXZ you can always jump ahead to the image you have. You just may not always be able to get back. Use the FXZ to upgrade directly to ICS or JellyBean (See next answer first)

Yes, you need to be rooted, and the root method for ICS and JellyBean are very different. Functionally, there is no difference in flashing to ICS, rooting, using Voodoo root keeper, and then going to Jelly Bean instead of FXZ to JellyBean and then using the Easy Root image. I founf rooting JellyBean slightly easier for me, but I am familiar with using virtual machines so your experience may vary.

Once you are rooted and on Jellybean, use these directions to enable GSM support: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42437715

Following those directions I have had no problem with using my Bionic on T-Mobile. I have read that some hardware Verision other than Version A have issues with GSM, but I don't know what those are. Be sure to thank the original poster of that GSM Guide if it was as helpful to you as it was to me!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] mofongoloco:
So, I went ahead and did the OTA update to 5.5.893

This basically didn't do much, so I tried to use SamuriHL HoB to update to ICS. This did not help either, kept getting black screen w/ phone vibrating. I was hoping to use that method to save my data, oh well.

Then, I saw Andy's response (you rock, btw) and I went ahead with the FXZ and was able to get to ICS. This worked great! Best part is, I now have a working Bionic with a Data connection! It is still only 1x speed, but so far the connection here in PR has been more reliable than the Lg revolution.

Right now, Network type and strength shows 1x = -89dBm, data connection is good.

Sometimes, once or twice a day for a couple minutes, it will show 1x = -96dBm and 3G = -32dBm. When that happens there is no data connection on the phone. I have a theory that the local carrier blocks verizon users from using CDMA 3G, because once I'm back on 1x everything is fine.

I'm wondering if maybe I could get Verizon to activate global data services. If I do the RadioComm edit, does anyone know if that would allow me to use the GSM portion of the phone on the Verizon global network? Since technically I'm out of the Verizon area, I would use the local carrier that Verizon leases services through. Is that thought process correct?

The local carrier uses GSM for their 3G network, and they do offer LTE for their own devices.

Again, thanks so much for your help with this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andy_in_Indy:
I am glad I was of help!

I am not sure about activating global service in Puerto Rico: That is something you will need to contact Verizon about.

If you change the RadioComm and buildprop setting to allow GSM, it will not work with Verizon until you change them back. Also, you will need to to a data wipe from recovery to avoid a problem with the phone rebooting over and over again so you can't just switch this from one to the other by replacing SIM cards (I was personally bummed by this).

Not all LTE is created equally: your Bionic is not likely to be compatible with the other phone companies LTE because they use different channels per company.

"It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody."

Everybody hm...My guess is, that KK will be optimized more than we might expect. Obviously not everybody has a high end device. You CANNOT fully enjoy android 4.X on a low/mid spec phone. It gets the job done, but is nowhere near the experience you get on a high end phone. Hell, 4.X is often / laggy on quadcore phones with 2 gigs of ram. I believe that we can expect a big performance jump on every phone.

And i'd take KitKat over "key lime pie" everyday.
[Xperia Z General] Ereckson:
High-five brother :highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:

I was wondering the same thing. Google isn't looking to make Android for performance-driven devices only. The the sucky part is that OEMs aren't going to update older phones with the new software. Mainly because the hardware is outdated and not supported, like say a TI OMAP chipset and Tegra 2. I'm pretty sure Xperia S owners are going to start cribbing about this in a few months too. Bringing Android to everyone is a forward looking statement where new devices, both low-end and high-performance, will be able to run the OS smoothly.
[Xperia Z General] Kondzioz:
I wouldnt be sure about that. Sale of mobile phones is on its best in the first five/six months, then it decreases. Mobile phones being over 1 year old are commonly taken as sold out and you hardly get it in any mobile network offer. For SONY and other brands those phones are not money-makers and no one will provide updates for them, its not cruelty its just economy. Another aspect is that if they do so i mean update older phones they will definitely lose some clients for new ones, its like im not going to but expensive new one cause there is no difference in buying cheaper: same software, apps, other features. Economy is a keyword for updates, most of older devices are capable of running newer software enough smoothly.
