I myself am not having dropped calls with this one (the one made by CameronJ)

[url]ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/TEST_ROM_DO_NOT_DOWNLOAD/Test - TMobile w summiter ext rom.exe [/url]

which is:

but with summiters ext. rom added in, for cingular branding (cept for the dialpad and a few other stubborn items).

It reads that it is aku 2.3, and works fine! just takes a little while to boot, compared to summiters 2.3 rom. I assumed its 2.3 and got that idea from this post:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kjason:
Nope, not a single dropped call yet with this rom. Any other AKU 2.2 or 2.3 I had dropped calls right around the 4 minute mark.

The 2.17 rom was actually the first AKU2.2 rom released. Summiter put it out about a day or two before the leaked Cingular 2.25 rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
wow - lots of confusion.

Here's how I know if a ROM is 2.2 + or not. Do you have the one or two line today screen item? Can you have the clock on the start bar (instead of the battery icon)? If the answers to these two questions are yes - then I believe the ROM is 2.2 or higher.

I haven't had time to load any new ROMs in a couple of days - I just had a few minutes last night to put that one together for jmel. FYI - that ROM just has the tmobile OS and the extended rom from the most recent summiter Test2 ROM -no radio, splash screens, or bootloader.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
It might be older then I guess, because the one you gave me from that tmobile site with summiters ext rom, has the time/date in 2 lines, and the battery icon at the top of the today screen.

Odd that in the about screen it says 2.3 though..

This is what it says on tmobile's site:

RUU_Prodigy_2210206_22102109_021911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe

Software Date:

19/06/06 (or June 19th to us americans)

I assume thats the same one you added the ext rom to?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] the blues:
[/quote]

still a bit confused. so the ROM that reads TEST ROM DO NOT DOWNLOAD is the good rom? (anyone else see the irony in this? lol) is this customized for cingular? or could you point me to what i would need for the "good" rom to work with cingular? thanks a millionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aron7awol:
Is the date on the today screen on one line or two?

Is the battery icon located at the top of the screen or in the tray at the bottom?

If you try to store a contact from the phone app, does the window close right away and store the number as Unknown?

It looks like we may be making some progress here. It appears we now have:

2.17 AKU 2.0 OK

2.17 AKU 2.2 OK

2.21 AKU 2.0 OK

2.21 AKU 2.0 (says 2.3) OK

2.24 AKU 2.3 Drops calls

2.25 AKU 2.2 Drops calls

Looks to me like this isn't AKU related at all. Something was introduced in between the 2.21 and 2.24 OS builds.

Edit: Seems the 2.21 AKU 2.3 is actually AKU 2.0. Regardless, my theory still holds.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
That rom is, as I said, a rom that CameronJ modified. He had me test it this morning, and I did, and I am saying that it works.

With all customized roms, you proceed at your own risk.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I answered this above, but will answer again.

Is the date on the today screen on one line or two? two

Is the battery icon located at the top of the screen or in the tray at the bottom?top

If you try to store a contact from the phone app, does the window close right away and store the number as Unknown?no (this last one I didn't know about, but when i type a number, and click menu, save to contacts it brings up a new contact window, and allows me to edit.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
So, you're not on AKU 2.3 but still AKU 2.0. Somehow your About screen screwed up.

AKU2.3 boots up much faster than AKU2.0. That's enough to tell which OS you're running.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
Yes, you are correct.

I just did some reading and saw that the about screen is not really a good way to tell version, as its just a simple registry setting that can be changed (I just messed around with changing it now, just to test this theory).

I had restored a backup, not thinking it would adjust this setting, but it did.

So ignore me saying that this is 2.3.

My apologies.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
I put that up last night just for jmel to test (in that directory so no one else would pull it down). I'm at a client site right now that doesn't let me get through using an ftp client - so I can't delete the file from ftp (there's no reason for it to be up there anymore).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I can remove it if you would like

EDIT: actually I guess I cant... :oops:

I didn't realize it was to be deleted. My apologies.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kjason:
The ROM below is the one you want to try...

Date on 1 line

Clock at top

Battery at bottom on tray

OS Build 14928.2.2.0

Boots very quickly. Not as fast as AKU2.3 but damn close.

ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU22_Basic.exe
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
kjason, is this in need of testing, or are you saying that this is what people like myself should use in leiu of a fix at the moment for the disconnects?

Also what are major differences?

It says basic, is summiters ext rom in here or no?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] CameronJ:
No worries.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kjason:
I guess it could be tested. For me this is the only AKU2.2+ rom that does not drop calls. Since going back to this rom from 2.25 I have not had a dropped call yet.

As far as differences, I didn't notice anything compared to 2.25 except that it actually works. It has the Cingular customizations built into the ext rom, so if your a cingular customer just let it go. It doesn't have any of the fancy theme, ring tones, etc that summiter usually builds into his roms.

Guess I'll give it a shot then, nothing to lose...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
Seems to be running fine (no disconnects yet), though at the bootscreen when I first power on the device, the version numbers seem lower than the vario rom that CameronJ put together for me.

Not sure what thats about, but I'll test for a bit here and report back.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Just to add to the list of what doesn't work:

AKU 2.3 w/ 2.17 radio: call dropped at 4 minutes or thereabouts

I don't know that it's the gsm code that makes a difference anyway. I think it's the RIL. I could put the RIL from 2.17 or 2.21 into an AKU 2.3 ROM for testing, but I don't know what if any freakiness might occur with the mismatch. Absolute worst case I believe would be a non-booting OS, which is easily remedied.

I'm also waiting on the Agile folks to get back to me on how they do or do not use the RIL to determine whether a voice call is in progess. The RIL keeps track of such things.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I think CameronJ had already tried sticking the radio in (maybe I'm wrong)...

I'm glad to see you are taking an active interest in this summiter, I personally appreciate your time spent on it.

:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Quick update - I moved the rill.dll and rilgsm.dll from 2.21 to the AKU 2.3 ROM and it wasn't perdy. It might be because the radio wasn't matched. I might make another attempt to do the same test with radio and dll's matched.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I'll be your guinea pig when you don't say things like that :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
very randomly, once last night, and once this morning, my phone lost all signal.

I didn't get the x's like before, and it wasnt during a phone call, I only had gprs activated.

It seemed like it did it shortly after receiving a pushmail, but I can't be certain.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
One thing I dont understand is that if the rom abpve is newer from tmobile, and all the version numbers are higher, why did it take so much longer to boot than the older 2.17 one that I just loaded?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
Called my wife today, dropped at 4 mins 30 seconds. :(

so there goes 2.17.....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] the blues:
ok.. i just downgraded to this ROM last nite and have not experienced a single dropped call. now is there anyway to add summiters new custom themes/additional programs/new radio with touching the rom... is that what he means with his new program when it says you can upload but not touch the boatloader?

to the poster aboce with the dropped call issue in 2.17.. post your device settings...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
device settings?

what do you mean exactly?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] the blues:
go to Start > settings > system tab > device info
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I used the same one that kjason said to use, but heres what it says:

rom 2.17.11.1 WWE

2/10/06

Radio 02.13.11

Protocol 4.1.13.05

I didn't have the problem at 4 mins 15 secs like I was having before. Last night I made it to 4:30 no problem

today, it dropped at 4 mins 36 seconds or so.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] the blues:
it seems you may be having issues unrelated to the ROM version then, as your preovious post about random signla loss mentioned.. what carrier are you using? and what 3rd party apps do you constantly run?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
cingular, and agile messenger. thats the whole reason I'm trying different roms is to get to the bottom of this whole fiasco.

I've already posted many times in this thread on what i've done, what i'm doing and what I hope happens... go back and read what I've said so I dont waste space re-posting, please.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I just tested for 25 mins, and not a dropped call. I let the phones stay connected to each other for 10 mins per call, then a few short ones.

, however, I am holding the two phones side by side and have noticed that if the 8125 is trying to establish a gprs connection, the phone I am calling from will get voice mail, after a long pause... odldy enough, when I call from the 8125 to the other phone, it will ring immediately... this worries me because basically it means not only do i stand a chance of dropped calls, but also a bigger chance of missed calls because the phone never rings...

something is weird with all this...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
GPRS and voice can not be on at the same time. If you're phone is using internet, i.e. actively transfering data not just connected, all voice calls will go directly into voice mail. This has always being this way IIRC. The best test case is if you stream internet music or radio, you'll probably miss a lot of calls.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I am aware that you can not use gprs at the same time as voice.

I was not aware that during the time a gprs connection is being established, you can not receive incoming calls. I also thought it was odd that I could make outgoing calls and they would connect immediately, but incoming calls were delayed.

My whole point is that something is still going on, even with this 2.17 rom.

I made a few more calls, and they dropped around the 7 to 8 min mark...

I am now starting to get paranoid about push mails because it seems like every time theres a disconnect now, there is a email or 2 that arrives when it reconnects.. :shock:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DUlrich1227:
well i pop in here everyonce in a while .. but i find this whole thread very odd..

i have upgraded / downgraded tried different radios / different apps / never had a droppped call. I use the express mail as my push as my company is in the process of upgrading our excahnge servers... I have surfed the net, played solitair while on a call. i bought m y phone 2 months ago on an upgrade and had them give me a g3 sim., i have rss feeds coming in as well ... no dropped calls..

well not sure where i was going with that .. but ..just wanted to reiterate my thoughts .. some app , or sim card causing this..

i live in s florida traveled up n down 95 for 1 hr didnt drop .. i work for a major hospital system where my job requires a bit of travel.. i am on the phone consistanly never any interuptions...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
As we've discovered, its only certain apps and their interaction with certain roms.

I'm not sure what you are expecting, but you wouldnt have these issues if you werent using an affected application and rom combination...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] robjae:

I am using web2mail as my exchange server if anyone else is and having the problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] sk7575:
Thats kind of a terrible excuse for it. There is clearly something going on with the ROMs, they should be able to handle this type of thing. The connection APIs I doubt have changed since they should be using the .NET compact framework.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jmel:
I dunno what to say, other than it doesnt happen with apps like pocket internet explorer... only one i've seen it with is agile messenger, and others have seen it with some auto updating weather apps...

it could very well be shoddy app programming because they arent using the correct connect/disconnect routines...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
You mean the 2.17 with AKU2.2 in it. The real 2.17 only has AKU 2.0 and don't have this issue AFAIK.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TriBeard:
So my mom has this phone, and me and my sister have HTC ones. Our phones work fine at home, and we just got Lte coverage a few days ago, so that's been nice. However, my mom's phone recently has been dropping basically every call no matter where she is or how much service it says she has. The signal bars show a red x, and usually given time the service will come back, but sometimes it takes a restart. I've tried updating profile and prl, and the best the people at the sprint store could do was tell me that there is supposed to be a software update coming to fix it. The phone is completely stock. It doesn't seem like the network cause the other phones work fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on what we could try?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You must have weak LTE signal. Go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks and tick it to CDMA. If she wants LTE she'll have to do this manually.

Sorry but it's just the way this phone is.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TriBeard:
I'll give that a try and see how it works. Why does this phone have an issue with it and the others don't seem to?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
It's just the way some phones are. My wife has the HTC One also, and she has to change hers too.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TriBeard:
Well, I changed the mode to CDMA only, but no dice. It doesn't make a difference. Any other suggestions?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You can try to flash the ZVC radio from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230106 but you'd have to root/unlock.

Other option is to LGNPST in the same thread under "Additional info". That's about all I got.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Taric25:
I unlocked the bootloader with no problem and loaded Clockworkmod custom recovery without a hitch. When I downloaded the nightly of CM11, it failed halfway through installation. I tried using other builds and two different custom recoveries. Open recovery didn't fail, but the phone just stayed at the blue CyanogenMod screen and never booted.

Now, I have no idea what to do, and I don't know how to just return to stock. I honestly rooted just so I could WiFi tether in infrastructure mode, and now I can't even make a phone call. What can I do?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So to return to stock, see this thread.

As for your issue, did you make sure to do a factory reset in recovery before booting?

Also, when you saw the blue CM screen, how long did you wait? The first boot can take quite some time.

Older versions of CWM won't flash CM11... same with other recoveries, older won't flash CM11. The latest OpenRecovery should work fine. I'm not sure how up-to-date our CWM build is.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Taric25:
Latest Open Recovery

Okay, I was finally able to return to stock. This may sound stupid, but it was really hard to charge it. The phone would come on everytime it got a little bit of juice in it, and then in a few minutes, the screen being on for too long killed the battery faster than it would charge it. I was finally able to get a wall charger to make it stay at the blue battery charging screen long enough for it to charge to 100%.

I didn't know an older Clockworkmod won't flash Cyanogenmod 11, and I actually didn't do a factory reset in recovery before flashing Cyanogenmod 11. I honesty waited about 20 minutes for the phone to boot until I gave up. Where can I find the latest open recovery?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Taric25:
Still fails

I got the instructions how to install CyanogenMod 11 from their website, and hxxp://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_xt897c is where you can see it. They do recommend to use Clockworkmod, so I used 6.0.1.3, which is the latest that hxxp://clockworkmod.com/rommanager shows. I did select the option to wipe data/factory reset, and it still fails.

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...

Before you ask, yes, it even fails when I use the stable build instead of the nightly.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Again, this version of CWM is not going to flash CM11. Use the latest OpenRecovery or TWRP.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Taric25:
TWRP 2.7

Okay, I flashed openrecovery-twrp-asanti_c.img using fastboot. I did a factory reset in TWRP. I installed both cm-11-20131210-NIGHTLY-xt897c.zip and gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip files. It appears like it went successfully. It was 9:43AM when it booted, and it's now 9:48AM, and I'm still waiting, watching the blue cyanogenmod logo with the spinning arrow around its head.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Taric25:
Nada

It's now 10:05. It's really supposed to take over 20 minutes to boot up?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Taric25:
40 min, no luck

Okay, after waiting 40 min for it to boot, I'm sure at this point it wasn't working. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You are installing an oddly old nightly... Maybe you didn't know, the builds are now 'unified'. Look for moto_msm8960.

But yes, let it boot. It may take some time.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Taric25:
Gave up

Yeah, I had no idea they were unified. In any case, I gave up. If it takes over 40 min, I'm sorry; it's not working.

I did use TWRP to root my phone, and I found a tether unlocker that allows me to use both infrastructure and USB tethering, which is all I wanted in the first place.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well whatever works...

Did you ever encrypt your data partition?

If so, see this thread.

Does anyone have the same problem where the home screen and the icon dock will be displayed on the upper half of the screen after waking/unlocking the phone?

It is difficult to find the cause because it only happens about 1 in 50 and every time a reboot will solve the issue. I'm also using the xposed framework with Xposed Additions, Sense 5 toolbox and Xposed StatusBar Mods. I'm wondering which xposed module could be causing this... Never had any issues with those before 4.4.2.

Well i just upgraded my galaxy s4 to the last firmware and i didn't know anything about KNOX until it was to late...

Anyway i just wonder if there is anyone who like to help me to mod the stock launcher from 4x4 to 5x5 ?

Or can this be done pretty simple with apktool? will apktool even work with android 4.3?

Was some time since i played around with android stuff, did it on my old s3 and just rooted and de-bloated my galaxy s4

i assume it is odexed as stock as i have not flashed it.

You probably know hiw annoying it is when playing games and suddenly a toast comes up and you cant so anything in the respective area.

Is there a mod out which gives the ability to touch right through them without disabling them completely?

I'm not aware about this kind of mod but here's a couple of xposed modules that might be helpful:

• Turns toasts into notifications in the status bar

• EnhancedToast
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My1xT:
2nd one is out since it kills the toast which is what I specifically ruled out (already using this to undesired ones)

1st one? Well not rly but not bad, although it kills the purpose of toasts, like viewing it instantly even in full screen apps like movies games etc. The only weakness is the point that they absorb the touches...
