How does that transmission reducing thing work? Is that why at home during the day my 4G is always at 1-2 bars but come midnight i get full bars and barely work? It's so damn annoying!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I agree that sprint's LTE is crap a lot of the time. Sometimes I have full bars and LTE doesn't even work. It's hit and miss but for the most part it's plenty fast for anything you'll be doing on your phone. I get so aggravated sometimes and I just want to switch carriers but I'm not giving up unlimited data. I feel confident Sprint/Softbank will make some improvements with the network and it will continue to get better. If I can get at least 2 or 3mbps up/down then that's plenty fast enough for me. I'd rather stay with sprint and keep my unlimited data and hope that it continues to improve rather than jump ship to a tiered data plan or throttled service. No thanks. I will stay with sprint. I'm saving my current upgrade till a nice tri-band phone comes out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
My thoughts exactly. I'll be lost without unlimited data. I use about 10-15gb a month from the phone itself no tethering. But it's just so frustrating at times and i have to switch to CDMA mode because it just keep switching from 4g to 3g. One minute my 4g has 4-6 bars and in a second it's down to 1 and dropping to 3g but supposedly my area is saturated in LTE. The HTC one won't even connect to LTE here smh..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jakes1188:
3g/4g vs bars

Your phones bars have nothing to do with your data signal. Only voice connection. Data has separate indicators. Usually in the form of triangles facing opposite directions. Up and down. Best way to test connection is to enable air plane mode. Give it 30 seconds. Then disable airplane mode.. dont have spark where im at so no advice for it. But I have spotty 4g where im at now. I sorta use it like I used to use my neighbors wifi when I was a kid. I have to walk down the street to get it. Technically 4g is unavailable in my town is why.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Umm idk who lied to you but your data signal has been on display since 4.3 jellybean so you need to catch up cuz you're badly misinformed..

Edit: And those triangles of which you speak is just indicators for your active data session. Up means upload and down means download. It's not a signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jakes1188:
unless you're using a custom rom the signal bars are for calling. And as far as the triangles go, my point was that you have an active signal as in it is uploading/downloading so my bad for the lack of calrification on that. If you have zero bars. You will make zero calls, but if your phone still says 3g/4g you will still have data access. I know because ive tested its limits thanks to living out in the boonies for so many years. At least thats how it works on sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Dude sprint changed that on 4.3. Your signal bars now display your data strength and not voice just like on custom ROMs. I've been with sprint for 12yrs i know what I'm talking about. All my phones display data bars on 4.3 and that's 1 Note 2, 1 EVO LTE, 1 HTC One and a LG G2, all which show the same effect since 4.3.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...one-android-4-3-update-discussion-thread.html

Read the first post.. Before only iPhones and LG phones like the LG Optimus G were the only phones that display your active data on sprint. Then they rolled out 4.3 and made every phone do the same..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jakes1188:
Interesting read... I've had sprint at least as long as you, maybe it's because I jumped from 4.1.2-4.3-4.4.2 all in one swing. My signal still acts like 4.1.2 oddly enough. Maybe I did something to my phone from when I first started rooting and running custom ROMS :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
What phone do you have? I know my One was being retarded in regards to signal. On the first 4.3 update signal was representing data then they released a bug fix for the profile/PRL update error and signal went back to measuring voice again then came KitKat and it was representing data again. One easy way of knowing if it's measuring your actual data or voice 1x signal is by the sporadic signal. When measuring 4g LTE you can have full bars facing north then face south and get 1 bar while 3g and 1x would be more consistent. I assume that's because our 4G is at a high frequency and don't travel too good as oppose to 3g which is pretty consistent unless you're really far out from a tower. SGR4U i think was the name had a good explanation about how 4G don't travel as good as 3g on the 1900 band and would require more towers for a consistent signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I have to agree with Jake on the bars and data connection indicators. Right now, my phone gets no 3G connection, but I get LTE. Unfortunately for me, not everywhere I go has LTE, but all gets phone service. Thus, I see full bars, and see no 3G or LTE indicators, and when this is occurs, I have zero data connection.

With that said, it's possible, the bars may give an indicator when there is data connection such as 3G or LTE. But from what I've seen, what Jake said seems to strill hold true. And I've been on Sprint as long as you two. I'm currently on CM11. Had the same experience on pure stock. And from what I can tell, my modem got jacked and working on fixing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Damn you guys can't just let it rock huh.. Signalcheck and my phone don't lie. Enjoy

First pic i switched to 1x only, second evdo/ehrpd and lastly LTE. Can't believe i have to prove myself when everybody i know who has sprint their phone behaves the same way as of 4.3.. It was actually my favorite added feature with 4.3 so i refuse to be wrong. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
I haven't really had a problem with the standard 4G I get from Sprint... but then I'm also not a person who does a lot of real downloading. Webpages and Facebook and stuff seem to load fine. I guess I can live not getting this "Spark" or whatever on my hardware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jakes1188:
I was right about the bars being solely for signal on my note 2. I just got a new phone and see what you're saying about the bars being for data now . My note for some reason didn't update properly and so it held onto it's old bar ways..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] srod562:
Just read that the Note 4 will be a supported device on Sprints Spark Network, I left Sprint earlier this year to T-Mobile with their Etf program but hearing this and the new $60 Unlimited everything is really catching my attention as Spark continues to grow. http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-rel...ccess-of-sprint-spark-and-samsung-gear-vr.htm

I'm also eligible to upgrade, and was looking into the Note 4 but the downside to Sprint's Spark Network is that unless you are connected to WiFi , you will not be able to simultaneously use voice and data.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] newbi3:
I tried searching on this but was not able to come up with a clear answer.

Im in the USA and in the process of buying an O2 Exec. Im wondering if its CLEAN of any kind of sim locks. I know it comes unlocked but will I be able to use more then one carrier sim card? I currrently have an ATTWS sim and am considering switching service later in the year.

So, if I use the ATTWS sim now will it lock the phone to ATTWS and thus make it impossible to switch carriers later in the year? What about local country sims since I will be traveling internationally?

Many Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] monakh:
Please run a search, this question has been asked and answered on this forum ad nauseum.

In a word. Yes, the current batch of Execs are unlocked to ALL sims. No idea if that will change in the future or not.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] newbi3:
I did run a search. There wasnt really a clear answer if it would be unlocked to ALL sims. Thanks for your response.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vapor:
well so far there has not been any first hand acocunts of locked Execs. those who said they have seen locked Execs were told by their friends or their friend's friend. in short, they did not experience it for themselves.

Everything seems to be stable and working on the first version for me..

Just one thing and it's not a bug :)

You know on the YairPatch kernel logo there seems to be a bit of an overlapping of the kernel version at the bottom.

No big deal but would look much better if it could be sorted out.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] cascabel:
i honestly flashed a couple of times using different versions of flashtool. thought something was wrong lol.

on topic: i tried checking yair's site, as well as the op, and i can't seem to find the differences between 02 and 03 kernel. i've already tried both, and 03 seems to be much smoother.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:
:) That made me laugh. Thank you!

The differences are only in the compile flag optimisations. But yes, 03 is very smooth.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pilu1978:
Little bit off-topic, but I remember when the minicm10 came out with the .32 kernel, you was happy with the incredible performance. And after a longer test period you always went back to froyopro or minicm7 due the better performance... ;)

Okay, go back to the thread. :)

[MENTION=4661380]cascabel[/MENTION]: you can't find the differences between the o2 and o3 versions of the kernels because the two kernels source code is same, nothing different. The compiler settings is invisible, this is not add or remove features, the difference is only the increased/decreased performance/stability.

If you interested what is the difference and how to work the code optimization in gcc, use google and you can find lot of information about how to work the o2 and o3 optimization, about the strict-aliasing and tons of other optimization flags. :)

[MENTION=1945569]afi1982[/MENTION]: can you post the gcc flags what you used? Or simple changed to -O3 without additional flags? (now playing with the .32 code to build a gb only kernel).

I have found a temporary fix for 4.3 tw roms that lose signal when sleeping. Keep in mind I have tested both methods (I have only tested a few tw 4.3 roms, but should work 4 all), you need to use the desktop tool to convert the rom.

How? Just flash it? I'm having data drop also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChadBFlores:
you will want to use the tool labeled as "ResignUpdate-v3.0.1-Toggle2G-v0.3.5.zip" and use it to convert the ROM, it will export a fixed ROM, move the .zip to your device and then flash it. there are instructions in the link provided.

EDIT: the tool is a desktop application so you will need to extract its contents on to your computer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gdmlaz:
Question does this make the rom not able to go in to 2g mode ?? or does it actually let it switch between 2g/3g/lte without data dropping ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChadBFlores:
Reminder: this is a temporary fix.

When phone is awake signal status functions normally.

When phone is sleeping your phone will switch in to 2g-only mode
