[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Artimis:
I'm having the same issues recently. I've always gotten a 4G signal at my house (albeit not the strongest one) but lately, my phone will not hold on to the connection. When coming off of wifi, my phone will not acquire a data connection at all most of the time. I can still send/receive texts and calls but there is no 4G or 3G icon, no MMS, and no data. I have to toggle the radios on/off, or change from CDMA/LTE to Global (or GSM) and back, put in airplane mode, or restart.....there is no guarantee any one of those steps will work. Sometimes I have to do it repeatedly until I get my data connection back but it is only temporary.

I'm on the i535VRBMF1 baseband and updated to the ML1 modem to try and resolve but to no avail. I have replaced my sim card (as I initially though that was the issue) but it has not helped either.

The only thing I can think of is that my PRL may have been updated (it is currently 15310) and it's causing issues with the towers in my area.

I just got back from Hawaii and was also in San Diego for a few days and had absolutely no issues. It seems to only be an issue now when I'm at my house which makes me think it is something VZW network related and nothing to do with my phone per say. It's really driving me nuts though.

BTW, I'm in Southern California (Irvine).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] frunas80:
I seemed to have fixed the issue by reverting the baseband back to vrlf2. I had to switch from global to 4g/LTE because I vegan to inch roaming charges lol. Verizon credited me and no dropped 4g signal. So I'm happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Artimis:
What ROM are you running? I'm just curious what the implications are of running an older baseband (from the ICS days) on a newer ROM/Kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] frunas80:
I'm running cleanrom8.1 core edition. Slightly buggy but tolerable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Artimis:
I was finally able to somewhat resolve my issue so I thought I'd post in case anyone else is experiencing something similar.

By using a few different apps and testing techniques, I was finally able to deduce that my issue had to do with EHRDP hand-off with the towers in the immediate vinicity to my house. I'm not sure what VZW did to them lately but it doesn't appear to be a problem in other locations so it seems like the issue is on their end (and not something to do with my phone).

In any case, it seems that when my 4G connection is weak and EHRDP is detected, it is dropping the connection entirely instead of handing if off to 3G (EVDO). The connection is also never transferred back when a 4G signal is detected either until I reset the connection where there is a moderate 4G signal.

Again, this only seems to be an issue when connected to the towers near my house and doesn't occur when traveling abroad.

To fix this, I have disabled EHRDP by doing the following:

1) Open the dialer and type *#97328640#

2) Select "[2] CDMA"

3) Select "[2] Data"

4) Select "[7] eHRPD e/disable"

5) Select "[2] Disable(*)"

6) Reboot the phone

Now my phone switches between EVDO revA. for 3G (using the native protocols) and LTE rather than relying on the broken eHRDP protocols. This workaround will have to suffice until VZW fixes stuff in my area but at least I don't miss MMS messages anymore.

Hope this helps anyone running into similar situations.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikonx:
Are there any AOSP Kit Kat roms that have the main functionalities of the Sprint variant working? I don't care about occasional bugs or random reboots but need the following:

Phone calls

GPS

Bluetooth music

Everything I read seems that these things keep getting fixed and broken with new releases of the 4.4 roms...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
China usually is much quicker. Well actually it's from Korea, the case, and I guess we gotta be really close to day 20. Anyway, what's the point now? One scratch/crack is the same as 100 as far as I'm concerned. It's a little crack actually connecting the upper left corner of the ear phone to the edge of the glass at the bezel right above the first little sensor whatever it is. So it's tiny almost but I'm not keeping it. I'm a baby like that. Hell yes, especially when I've forked up 600+ bones (is that what I paid about a month ago?) for it. If it was my skateboard that would be one thing, or my wife, or home, but my phone, that I buy a case for must be pristine right?

I don't know. I'll get black next time. Hey, which phone out there is faster? I'll miss the waterproof. And the dual cam is baddass. What do you guys think? I'm sure a replacement screen would cost me more than selling this one unlocked and lightly used then buying another used in mint condition as I want or a refurb, if one exists. Opinions? Couldn't this phone be one of the fastest in a few months with rom developments? If not then what? That htc one or something? Isn't this phone faster than the note 3? My benchmark results suggest so. Doesn't some company waterproof phones with a solution they dip it in or something? If I could waterproof that faster htc phone I may do that. With those two stereo speakers... Ef that fingerprint bs. 'Oh but you use it with PayPal' gag me with a spoon. Lol. Im 80's old.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
tl;dr

If you are getting a new device, wait for the LG G3 - it will be superior in specs.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
You just had to make my life that much more complicated. Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
I want those dual front speakers on the m8. Plus you can send it in to get waterproofed, which I'd do straight from ebay or wherever I'd buy it, and if its a touch faster than our s5 as it seems to be the impression I should be good for a while. And you can qi ready it too with an external receiver and case, which I'd need anyway. Hmm...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
May 27th for the g3 tho? Just read that. Is that the latest word?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
Could be. I'd wait for it.

Look for the leaked press images, it's very nice. Has a better screen and likely a better chipset than the S5 and M8.

Also, you are welcome :P
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
What about the speakers? I dont care about all that eye candy, my struggling eyes can barely appreciate this sweet screen ya know? I just went from hell to heaven from my s2 to my s5, I'm not sure I need much more. Ill wait a few days just to see what happens. Maybe itll come out in onky lime green, baby blue and hot pink in which case I'll pass.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
Just read an article saying rumors stating either it COULD surpass the current champs in chipset dept, or just be similar, same as with the ram being either 3gigs or maybe just 2. So we'll see hopefully soon. I can't stand to look at my phone with its unhealable crack. Its disgusting. Spitoowee
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DREWHAMM974:
I have the M8 and the S5. Look on youtube for M8 water test. One guy left it in his sink full of water for 30 minutes and it was fine. Great phone to. Better build, speakers, and it already has AOSP roms. *cough* Try out my Pacman build *cough*. The S5 does have a better camera though.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
Cool, thanks. Hey, a better back camera yes, but I like how it's got this robust dual kick ass speakers/dual equally capable camera lenses plus some other features I didn't quite catch, and I'm not so all about the megapixels... until I need to zoom in during a video or crop a pic later ya know?

But tell me this possible deal breaker:

Can you record using both cameras as with our superb s5? Btw, did some vids at the pool underwater. Awesome cam. I guess the software might be secondary issue if as long as the hw supports it you could just find a camera app to emulate the one we have (?). So can it? Have you tested? Or is that standard these days? Haven't heard anyone rave about it other than me. I love the dual screen narrator and scenery/target effect.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
Dude but the z2 has 3gigs of ram!, I have this affinity for ram. It's got a better waterproof rating, longer lasting battery, i think a good cam... reading this article on it till I get to the speakers...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DREWHAMM974:
If you are talking front and and rear cam recording at the same time yes. Theres a small box for the front camera that can be moved anywhere on the screen before filming. But the S5 cam is visibly better without zooming. Side by side the s5 has better colors and detail than the M8. If all you need it for is for quick snaps it is great. In low light its the best phone cam I have ever had, just dont plan on making any prints off of it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
And I did briefly try your rom on my s2. I didn't get a chance to try it out as I was rom hopping and ended up with the s5. new I'll make a note to check it out and if it works out well I'll make a note to donate. Just recently hit me how important it is to throw some cash where it s deserved especially for "the little guy" as I'm one myself and have it on my bucket list to program something kick ass
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
Based on the info by [MENTION=3417326]Arsaw[/MENTION] on this THREAD, I made a simple app to easily add more apps to the list of Ultra Power Saving Mode supported apps. If the method described by Arsaw works on your S5 then this app should hopefully work as well, otherwise, there is no way I could make it work. This app only saves the list but in no way guarantee that the apps will work on ultra power saving mode or not. There could be issues with some apps so be aware of the limitations.

This is an initial test release. I have not tested it on a real S5 device but I have tested it on my Note 3 using an S5 ported Rom and hopefully it should work on a real S5 as well.

Just download below, install, run, select the apps you want, save (make sure you grant superuser root access) and it will save the list to the corresponding csc file.

I tried it on T-mobile S5. It takes a very long time to enter and exit UPSM (which was already slow). I only added the additional four apps, any ideas? I do have a lot of apps installed, is it loading and un-loading all of them or something?

I would factory reset everything. Start fresh without apps . I've noticed on 4.4.2 leak nc2 I had some lag if I froze some of the Verizon apps unfreeze them and had no issues after. Hope that helps only thing I turned off was caller ID but I'm rooted so factory reset is easier for me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aflansburg:
Tried it. I had a brief few minutes lag free but then it came back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutelight:
Is this happening before all your apps restored, if you are restoring them? Or are they in the process of downloading and installing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aflansburg:
Thanks for the reply. After the update it ran its little app optimization process and then begin installing various updates. I assumed lag was normal then, but after several hours was still getting the lag. Last night the lag decreased before I went to sleep, but this morning it is back. I have developer mode active and I have the CPU process overlay and the one item I see spiking with high CPU usage is the the kernel process kworker. Did I get a bad dose of kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutelight:
This is a thread that may have helpful information: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6675cef7e3?page=4

The only thing I can think of is, if you want to try it, run a factory reset, do not restore any apps and see if things settle. It could be an app that is causing a conflict.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armeN0317:
I know this may sound silly but take out your battery for about 30 seconds. I have this problem occasionally and when it occurs my phone is extremely hot. I have to shutdown... pull battery... and all is good until it happens again. Happens to me at least once a day.

[HTC One S] Htc1neS:
Hi haven't installed a rom on a phone in ages and looking to give my phone a bit of a facelift, currently rooted on 4.22 stock HTC with hboot 2.15 and stock kernel/pretty much everything else except tampered unlocked bootloader and the root. Which STABLE rom like cm or even cm would you recommend. Also a big reason I didn't bother going for a different rom was that the facebook htc contact sync to get numbers as well as pictures etc is great so how can I get this on a more holo based rom, or will I have to go for a sense based one. Lastly do I need to upgrade hboot and/or kernel?

Hi

I have a g2 and I have problems with autofocus recording video and shutter speed

I would like to know these two features in Xperia z compact Thanks and sorry for my English

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zxqw:
What would you like to know?

I don't see a question in your post. I don't believe there are any known issues with the shutter speed or AF during video, if that's what you're asking.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] omegastarr:
Actually in videos there is a small problem. When changing environments or light conditions the focus is lost for a second and you have to move the phone a little so it can focus again. But for everyday use (i mean shooting in good light conditions during the day) its perfect ! Pictures are also great, you can check the z1c photography thread. There are shots from CM also.

Hey guys, just wanted to share an simple app that I made recently. Called GO THERE NOW, it's an app that starts Google Maps in Navigation Mode immediately. I was getting annoyed with the amount of steps it takes to start Navigation Mode in Google Maps, so I developed GO THERE NOW.

Unlike the new Google Maps where it takes a minimum of three steps to start Navigation Mode, GO THERE NOW simplifies the process, by making it one step instead. GO THERE NOW also can create customized homescreen location shortcuts that can launch Navigation Mode with a pre-set destination immediately. GO THERE NOW supports several languages, including: English, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Vietnamese.

GO THERE NOW is now available in the Google Play app store. Feel free to send comments about the app, as I'm hi always looking to improve the overall UX in the mobile apps I develop.

GO THERE NOW at the GOOGLE PLAY STORE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huhx0015.gotherenow

[Android Apps and Games] CKTurbo128:
Just posted the 1.03 update for Go There Now onto the Google Play Store! The 1.03 update now allows users to customize the labels for the navigation shortcuts created by Go There Now.

Same here...

First I couldn't get it out / then I couldn't get it in / then it would simply slide in-and-out freely to the point that only gravity was holding it in place (sorry if this sounds dirty, but this is what happened).

Had to have mine replaced. I've heard this issue has been around since the Wizard...

I really hope I don't have the same problem on TyTn #2!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andmjones:
After a few days of having mine suddenly the stylus was becoming enromously difficult to remove. At one point it just wasnt moving so after a forceful tug it pulled out and a tiny transparent square of plastic/rubber fell out with it. Looks like it was in there to keep it in place but i have no idea how to put it back in. Now the stylus removes fine and stays in place too :shock:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] raptorian:
I had the same problem.

Could not get the staylus in with my TyTN.

So I did the mistake and pushed it in... a "knack" sound alerted me that something bad happened. Could not get the stylus in still... so I yanked a small rubber plastic piece from the stylus hole on my TyTN. Now I can slide easily the stylus in.

From teh reports I heard my guess is that the rubebr plastic inside the TyTN is used to firmly hold the stylus in. While without this rubebr plastic there is nothing to hold the stylus until you fully place it inside the TyTN.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] grayhaze:
My stylus is a little difficult to remove at times, so I had a look down inside the stylus hole and it appears that there are three of those little pink rubber squares protruding from the side and a dark rubber 'socket' at the end to grip the tip when it's fully inserted. The pink squares are obviously there to provide a little more grip along the length of the stylus, but my guess is that even without them the 'socket' at the end would hold the stylus in place. I imagine that over time the pink rubber will either soften up or disintegrate entirely with the friction.

Solution stylus problem

I had the same problem with my stylus, my solution is take a Poster Buddy Brand name Pritt it is so called here in Holland you can place posters and photo's with it on wals, doors etc. looks like white rubber glue, think I see it in the UK with the name Sticky here you can buy it with photostores and bookstores etc. Take a small piece of it turn it between your vingers to a small ball and put it in the stylus hole after that push it to the end with your stylus.

After I do this I have no further problem with the stylus it works great.
