[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4v1n:
I'm using the xperia on ATT right now no LTE but I do get hspa+ which is fine (is a 50mbps connection REALLY needed for a phone?) Anyways there is a chance that LTE may work in the US because ATT is rolling out and already has the 1700mhz band in a bunch of cities: Phoenix, Raleigh, San Juan, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Chicago, Charlotte, Athens, GA and College Station, TX. The Nexus 4 people were reporting that it works but not sure about Z1. I'm not from any of these cities so i can't confirm if its working. Maybe someone can?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youwonder:
When it's been shown to give better battery life thanks to race to idle advantages? Absolutely.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6330/the-iphone-5-review/13

>The non-LTE phones see a sharp drop in battery life. At least at 28nm the slower air interfaces simply have to remain active (and drawing power) for longer, which results in measurably worse battery life.

This doesn't work on slower LTE networks like verizon, but for us on ATT we can get better battery life while enjoying faster speeds. Note that in that graph anandtech measures HSPA+ as "3g", as it is 3g, despite ATT and verizon's marketing. I make this distinction to prevent people from thinking they are testing the older 1.4mbit or whatever network they used to use.

I'm probably going to get the Z1 without LTE functionality in my area anyway, because at the end of the day I'm without a smartphone right now (my HTC one got washed with my clothes and doesn't do much other than vibrate when it's plugged in now) and don't want to wait for Sony to stop being lazy and put out the model with 700mhz LTE.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4v1n:
The only reason it improves battery life is because its take you less time to download things which is a given. If you're constantly downloading extremely large files then maybe you need it, but for me not so much.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserDemos:
The answer is yes, they are blowing smoke up your ass. In order for a phone to get AT&T LTE, you need Band 17. That is their primary LTE band. They also supplementarily use Band 2, 4, and 5 in select cities where they don't have Band 17. Similar thread in the Z Ultra forums, which have similar models which might clarify this more if you need more details.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youwonder:
You did not read the source I linked I think. It shows web browsing, not downloading massive files. LTEs speed and therefore race to idle advantage applies to more than just downloading large files, it shows battery savings in normal day to day use, from things that drain quite a bit of battery like browsing to smaller things like syncing gmail accounts.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwaarJet:
What speeds are you guys getting on ATT with the C6903? If the C6906 isn't shipping anywhere by midnext week I'm going to order the C6903, I've been android less for 2 weeks now, I'm going crazy. :eek: I don't use my phone as a hot spot or for file downloads, so I don't need crazy speeds which I don't even get anyway LTE wise in my area, usually 22mbps max and on average upper teens.:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uly609:
I'm getting 8.22 Mbps down and 1.13 Mbps up with full bars on AT&T right now. I'll do a few more tests to check for consistency.

EDIT: Just ran another test and I got 9.21 Mbps down and 1.13 Mbps up.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QwaarJet:
I'm full bars on my Lumia 920 here at work, only getting 5/0.6 on LTE so I guess C6903 would do just fine. I only ever get good LTE speeds at home, but I use my phone on my wifi connection there so it's not very useful. Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhsanU:
I received my Sony Xperia Z1 from GSM Nation yesterday and can vouch for the fact that the 6903 model will in fact NOT work with AT&T's 4G LTE network. I live in New York City too, if that means anything. I spent the entire afternoon trying to connect to the LTE network. Instead, I was able to connect to the 3G (HSPA+) network and that's it.

I am very unhappy about this and will be returning the phone to GSM Nation immediately. I love LTE speed and did not know that battery life was affected by it too (thanks for that youwonder!) so I'll patiently wait for the 6906 model to be released. Does anyone know when that might happen? I can live with my old Galaxy Note II for now I suppose. Agh!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper1087:
I actually am in an area where I get LTE on AT&T with the 6903 interesting, it does get the normal speeds so highest so far 20 down which is pretty good.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rebsters:
Heres the message I got to the query, about at&t lte from GSM Nation, also asked them about 6906. Edited out private stuff.

"at&t's main frequency for LTE is 700 mhz so the 6903 working is really upto where in the US you live and that is unfortunately not information we would have. It is certainly limited markets for 1700's but these are just reports from customers from our followups.

Regardless we do not advertise it as compatible with at&t due to it being limited markets. And would advise that customers purchase it for use with at&t LTE at their own risk. The c6906 model traditionally comes to carriers first so that would be the safest bet at this time if your looking for at&t LTE. It should be available soon in the US."

seems pretty clear cut.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4abw:
Sony Xperia ZL C6503 also no LTE

PMFJI. I own the C6506 (Sony branded, carrier unlocked) which support a wide range of bands including LTE IV and LTE XVII, both of which are used by AT&T. In addition, I get PCS 1900 which AT&T is rolling out.

I get NO LTE service and I was told this is by design. If you do not own an AT&T branded phone, the network will not permit you on the LTE network. I am provisioned for LTE but I cannot get even 4G.

This was not explained by anyone and it took me a number of support calls and escalations to learn this. I believe the only way to effect change on this rregressive policy is for people to complain. There is no reason to penalize BYOD customers who choose not to own an AT&T branded device.

My device specs for LTE: 4G Network	LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - C6506

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mingkee:
I never thought iSmooth is that strong after 4 months of use and now I still have 5 in the inventory, so I am getting curious that can anybody use screen protector for Note 2 with Note 3.

If so, this will be definitely good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SgtGoldy:
No
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] randy2:
are you serious they are not even the same size, the dimensions are different you better off not using a screen protector. the button placement is wrong also
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mingkee:
Let's just limit it down to only the front. Since the dimensions of Note 2 and Note 3 (same length, 1mm difference of width between these two according to phonescoop) are pretty close, I have been wondering that.

If a user have both Note 2 and Note 3, please take a picture to verify that instead of just saying yes or no. This can help others who have the same question.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dr.devman:
That is like saying if I can put diesel in my car. Of course not.

I would think that you could use it until you got a proper N3 screen protector, but it would not fit right
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] silrosriv:
Please help!!! Ok, let me start by saying that I've successfully rooted, soft bricked, and unbricked my previous S2 & Note 2. I just got an S4 about a month ago and decided to root today. While I was setting it up a month ago I updated to mf3 and had completely forgotten.

I did the new root via terminal and was successful. Installed SU just fine. I gave root to xplorer and switched out my build.prop for the sprint sg4 to install google wallet (the one I could actually use nfc with). Installed fine, then got an error about not having sufficient permission inside gw. I rebooted and somehow su lost binary. I've tried everything I could look up. I can't uninstall su without root, and I can't open it without the binaries. I can't replace the build.prop, or edit it. I can pull via adb but can't push. Can't do it through adb shell either. Can't use odin (cuz mf3), can't use mobile odin, can't use goo either. I'm lost.

It hasn't caused any serious problems but I'd like to have my at&t build.prop back. (Fyi, I did back it up before I did it. So I have it, I just can't replace it.)

Can this be fixed? Am I f'ed? Do I have to live with it til someone gets around the bootloader? Or do I have to take it back to bestbuy to replace it? (And if I do, Will they replace it?)

Update: BestBuy will not replace it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Go to a best buy that has the Samsung experience. They won't replace the phone but they can flash the mf3 firmware and get you back to like new again. You'll have to sweet talk them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
You can also try visiting an att store to have them flash mf3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] silrosriv:
Thanks for the posts guys. Really appreciate it! I ended up trying to do an emergency flash via Kies. After a couple of dozen times of it failing to download (too slow) my phone ended up with the yellow triangle and said the firmware upgrade failed and to connect it to Kies. Luckily that showed that I wasn't rooted so I took it to a Samsung experience kiosk and they had me up and running in 10 minutes. Needless to say I'm not rooting again til there's a recovery for MF3!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] silrosriv:
Jd1639, the girl I spoke to yesterday wouldn't reflash it for me. She could tell it wasn't stock because of the 4G signal.

I got lucky today with Kies failing! The hubs would've killed me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dustyhughes:
I had the exact same experience with Best buy. The lady, as friendly as she was, was unhelpful in my situation. She kept saying they do not want to flash something that has been altered in any way just in case it gets bricked... it is to prevent liability on their part (which I can kind of understand). I even told her I'd be glad to sign a waiver to assume full liability if something goes wrong. She didn't go for it... Unfortunately, I'm stuck at the moment, I'm searching out ways to restore my build.prop from either adb sideload via the stock recovery or through ODIN somehow... There was a thread discussing a fix for the yellow triangle that required ODIN to flash some files (5 or so)... So, I was thinking if I can get the same type of thing setup for build.prop, I'd be in good shape... I just have 0 experience with doing this stuff, so I'm still reading/learning how it all works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] silrosriv:
Dusty, I think if you're on MF3 nothing is going to work. You can try an emergency firmware flash through Kies. If you're at the yellow triangle and it's telling you to connect it to Kies then look at the top and see if it says that you're running Samsung official with write block enabled. If it does then take it back to the Samsung experience kiosk and tell them your PC froze during an update and that's what broke your phone.

Hope it helps. That's what worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Exel:
Wait so you lost root, too?

What exactly is your problem?

Because you can replace your build.prop with adb easily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dustyhughes:
Sorry, I was a bit vague... I modded the build.prop to enable lockscreen rotation, which was basically adding one line to the end of the file. I realize how dumb this was, it was late and I wasn't thinking clearly :silly:....

Well, since I modded the build.prop, I cannot boot to the OS, in fact after the Samsung boot logo it doesn't even make it to the AT&T boot screen. It remains black after Samsung boot logo. The LED does turn blue after a bit, and if I have the phone plugged into the laptop the USB drivers will install, but I never make it to the OS no matter how long I leave the phone.

So I'm stuck not being able to boot to the OS. I can get to stock recovery and have the ADB sideload option, but it seems to be different that full blown ADB (from what I've gathered).

My biggest problem now is trying to take a copy of the clean build.prop and replace the one that is messed up in /system/

I can't determine exactly what I need (update script with build.prop etc) to load over sideload to get it to work.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

I can get my phone to the yellow triangle, but mine actually says custom in the top left instead of official... Because of that, I couldn't convince the lady at the kiosk to flash my phone. Granted, it wasn't on the yellow triangle yesterday when i took it. I did convince her to plug it in while I had it in download mode. It recognized my phone, but I couldn't get her to proceed with flashing it. :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] silrosriv:
Then I would try Kies. Leave your phone unplugged, then go to tools, upgrade and initialization, in all caps enter your device (mine is SGH-I337), click ok, enter your serial number, click ok, then plug in your phone in Odin mode. If that doesn't work you may have to wait for someone to figure out MF3 with Odin. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dustyhughes:
Thanks much, I really appreciate the help. I have tried to push/pull files from my device without luck. The only option i have for ADB on my phone at the moment is the stock recovery "install over adb". It looks like the only commands I can run are "adb devices" (which lists my phone as "sideload") and "adb sideload"... I've used the sideload command to try and flash an OTA mf3 cfg file I found in another thread. the file was successfully pushed to the phone, and the update began but failed with an erro code of 7 (which is supposed to mean wrong device or something).

I was thinking if I could encapsulate the build.prop with a script into one of these update files to be pushed over sideload, I may be able to get my build.prop replaced and my phone running again. But i'm not sure how to build that file, or whether or not it would even have access to replace a file in the "/system" folder.

I'm still searching, and will update when/if I find an answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] silrosriv:
Not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're in recovery (blue DOS looking menu list). Power button & volume up? That is how you get to sideload. To do regular adb you need to run an app for terminal emulator while the phone is actually on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dustyhughes:
I'm afraid you are right... If MF3 were available through Kies (since I was unfortunate enough to get a phone with mf3) i'd be ok... but i think i may just be waiting a while.... My wife has the same phone, so if i could image hers, I could go that route... but again, out of my area of expertise.

I'm always impressed with how an ipad can keep it's battery life for so long when it's sitting around dormant, yet the Android tablets (like my TF101) seem to leak battery life constantly.

A tablet is not a phone (that needs to always be kept alive somewhat for IM's, phone calls, emails, etc)......, so why can't a custom kernel implement a "DEEPER SLEEP" option. When enabled, when the device goes to deep sleep, and nothing is going to wake it up except for the power button (or lid open). No more wakelock issues, nor rogue apps accessing data, or doing all the troubleshooting to find these apps that drain the battery during sleep cycles. It's like windows PC "sleep" mode...just enough power drawn to keep it's data in memory.

Most likely there is a reason for it...but I don't know what it is.

FYI: I already use tasker to put the device into airplane mode when I turn the screen off, until I unlock it, which helps a great deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theziggy:
Have you tried CPUSpy to see how much Deep Sleep your TF101 is actually getting?

Some people use BetterBatteryStats to see which apps are preventing the tablet from Deep Sleep.

Oh and there is a discussion about battery-leaks during sleep here
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbliner:
Yep...many apps, many ways to snoop.

What I was proposing was a way to make all that unnecessary. A sleep mode that is unwakeable by apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theziggy:
In the BetterBatteryStats App - you can turn off all Internet reporting/Knowledge Base accessing etc, so no snooping.

There is an app that claims to put android into Deep Sleep

CPU Spy tells me that my TF101 enjoys a good night's deep sleep when the screen is switched off and wifi off.

I hate to be comparing apples to oranges but Apple builds specific hardware for their own software. Android development is the complete opposite. Many manufacturers with many different components that require many different drivers and most companies with Android seem to drop support quickly and stop supporting new versions of android.

Supreme Sense advice

I recently got a shift. I have been giving supreme sense a real workout. It is rock solid. Wifi works, WiMax works, Bluetooth works. Most of the eye candy can be disabled / debloated out of the ROM with MikTweaks.

Linux swapfile support is not enabled in the kernel. If you need that you will need to look somewhere else. I have posted on the mikmik asking for the source so I can recompile with this feature, but so far no response...

One note, if you are a relative newbie like me, download the A2SD version and flash it. When you partition your sd card, do not create a swap file but do create an Ext3 partition. This will put allow apps to run from your SD card using a faster method than stock.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
I would suggest the A2SD version of Supreme Sense. But use EXT.4 on the partition. Your apps will run quicker, and smoother.
