I was very surprised to find out that T-mobile pre-pay does not limit data speeds. I have tried Straight Talk, both on the VZW sim and ATT sim. VZW and related mvmo's cap speed at 5megs...att and their nvmo's, 8megs. Tmobile, i was getting 70megs...(much faster than my monthly VZW on my main G3), but again, only worked when I was out side, or by window.
[Verizon LG G3] kinfolk248:
Good news, I got my Verizon G3 to work on T-Mobile, I had to put in my own apn settings and the data is NOT full speed fast but it does at least work now...
[Verizon LG G3] dansx6:
Did you use the APN settings that are listed on the T-Mobile site? I have tried using their APN settings and enabling additional bands but the best I get is 2g and no MMS.
[Verizon LG G3] kinfolk248:
No I found them online (I forget what site) but it does 'work'. I say work loosely because it will bounce between 4G/3G/nothing/2G. Also battery burns through fairly quick, much quicker than expected. I suspect this is because of constant signal searching.

UPDATE: I did go by the Tmo store today and the young lady put in some apns she found on the web, same ones that I had found basically and getting the same result. Worked fine in the store for a while then 4G dropped to 3G. At the library now and I have an 'H'. Idk what 'H' is but its up there, along with the annoying question mark sim, but that's just Verizon being *ssholes because I have a diff sim in the phone.

BTW, I am in the southeastern US, Mississippi to be specific.
[Verizon LG G3] crazyates:
My fiancé has a Verizon LG G3 on Verizon, and I have a Nexus 5X on Project Fi. She's switching to Fi, and getting her own 5X, so we'll have this G3 lying around. I could get a Tmobile SIM from Fi, and pop it in her G3, and it would work, right? It'll be data only, but that's fine. I'll prolly use it for GPS, watching movies, playing games, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
SetCPU on a rooted galaxy s4 with no custom ROM android 4.4, is not working correctly in regards to profiles. No matter what conditions you set for anything, none of the profiles work.

I'm trying to ramp the phone up into performance mode while the google keyboard is in use. To do this, I need a working profiling system which unfortunately setCPU fails at for the galaxy S4. Does anyone know any fixes or workarounds? Greatly appreciate the answers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
can this even be done on stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You're very limited in what you can set with the stock kernel. I wouldn't recommend changing governor on stock kernel either, Samsung hooked a lot of parameters into their custom governor, chances are it'll just mess something up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
Where do I get started on finding a competent kernel? And if that requires getting rid of a bootstrap, how would I do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Unless you have a mdk base phone...you can't change kernel....sounds like you don't as I figure you mean safestrap.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
I was a droid 3 owner before this. I still have nightmares about the locked boot loader like its PTSD.

Anyways, there's one kernel located on this forum's "Kernel" section. I guess that's the go to kernel? I don't run or plan to run any custom ROM so I hope it works with stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
Trying the chronic touch wiz ones. They say 4.2 and I'm 4.4.. Hope this doesn't brick my phone. Anyone know where the default kernel can be downloaded?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
As Bob said, unless you have an MDK phone, you can't flash custom kernels. You don't have an MDK phone because you're on 4.4 which means you have a locked boot loader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
Well , ****.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yupp. Sorry to break the news to you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
So there is absolutely nothing I can do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
As far as kernels go, no. We actually do have some good stickies in the general section though that explain exactly what you can and can't do with your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
Oh joy. I paid $800 for a phone with the child locks mounted on it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Information on s4 is readily available concerning locked bootloader and what you can and can't do.....luckily we have safestrap....

sent by safestrap powered echo v26
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Return it because that's a rip off, you can get a brand new dev edition for $200 less. I always research before I buy the phone, you have to if you're going to stay on Verizon. I bought an mdk s4 on swappa because I knew that was the only retail version that could be fully customized. Now they're going for ~$300
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I actually had this same issue. I dont use SetCPU anymore.. but could this have something to do with Samsung's DVFS? I have that disabled and i have the CPU governor set to interactive.. this removes ANY lag i had before (with various games i have, plus the occasional lag on the lockscreen)

and yes i am running the stock kernel. it does have the interactive governor. i use Performance Control (the F-droid build) for my cpu controlling stuffs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
I'd like to keep my unlimited 4G grandfather ability. That's why I was forced to pay full price for the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah, the options I listed don't require a subsidized upgrade nor will they violate the new terms of Verizon's throttling that they're starting on unlimited users in October.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
So this app "performance control" by f droid is allowing you to use profiles?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
it doesnt have a profiles functionality. performance control is actually available in several places, here on xda, and on f-droid. but it can set your CPU settings on boot which, at least in hyperdrive, doesnt work for any other cpu control app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
Gah, all I truly want is for my phone to kick it into performance mode while the keyboard is in use. That crap should be standard anyway. Nothing turns me off faster from a phone than a laggy keyboard that causes a crap ton of stress to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
sounds like you're using a crappy keyboard... what do you use? i've used swiftkey and google keyboard before and both work great and are stupid fast (google keyboard seems to have better swype functionality though)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspectRyan:
I use google keyboard. I don't swipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
ok thats weird google keyboard is usually fast as crap for me. try swiftkey.

Sorry tunglethanh90, it did not work. It detects that the firmware file is WW, therefore gives error message saying SKU = "WW".

I think the only way is now to downgrade the CN firmware from 1.15.40.35 to 1.15.40.20 and then try to sideload the WW 1.15.40.35 ROM.

I came across this method of downgrading in the attached photo, will give it a try and report back :
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mehrdadj.87:
same error

Hi, I downloaded and tried this rom file,

unfortunately nothing has changed, please view the attached result's photo. :(

the phone detects the WW ROM, it means that renaming to CN has no benefit, also the update file is an OTA update file! it seems strange to me.

maybe we should downgrade to a very early CN Rom, then we upgrade to ww, so that the phone can't detect it's a wrong SKU, what do you think?

could you tell me please what the exact Rom version of your successful try was? maybe that's the solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mehrdadj.87:

Hi bataribin

We don't need to downgrade our CN rom to one of the earliest ones, I think if we manage to just downgrade one step lower i.e. 1.15.40.20, then it should let the latest WW ROM to install without detecting the error.

I actually came across a few previous CN firmware files. XDA wouldn't let me post the download links, but if you google search "1.14.40.50 CN", you will find it.

I also came across a procedure on a russian website on how to downgrade the CN ROM. I just need to sit down and try the procedure. The website also provided the modified "install-recovery.sh" files along with fastboot.img and boot.img. People are claiming that the procedure has worked.

The same procedure is also posted on a chinese website. If you google "how to downgrade 1.15.40.35 from 1.14.40.50", you will see the second search result in Chinese... Read the comments..people are claiming that it worked.

dear batrarobin,

I tried downgrading from 1-15-40-35 to 1-15-40-20, using side load command.

you can see the result in the attachment, as you can see the phone detects that this firmware is older than it's current firmware.

I think that's also the case with 1-14-40-50 :(

but I'll also try it tonight.

regarding install-recovery: my phone has the "recovery" option when I press "PW-Volume+" keys, so I don't need to use "fast boot" command anymore, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batrarobin:
Dear Mehrdadj.87,

Yes I think you will still need to use fastboot to flash fastboot.img.

Anyway I have just come across a simpler way - I will try it tonight. This guy has provided 2 x batch files to run which will automatically do the job of flashing the older fastboot.img and boot.img and do rest of the things. The instructions are here:

http://23pin.logdown.com/posts/210692-root-downgrade-zenfone-from-1154035-20140715

I am attaching the zip package here... Just extract it into your folder where your adb.exe and fastboot.exe are kept. Also extract boot.img and fastboot.img from the older CN ROM (i.e. 1.14.40.50) and run the batch files (Run Restore-Boot first and then Restore-Recovery). You will need to run these batch file when your phone is turned ON and have got USB debugging option is turned ON. (Hope you have managed to activate your Developer Mode on your phone by now). Also your phone should be rooted.

After that sideload 1.14.40.50 CN, and hopefully it should work.

Let's try it tonight.

Would you tell us please which version of WW firmware you have on your phone at this moment? and are you able to upgrade it to higher versions or not?

because a new version (V1.16.40.7) is also available now in the asus website.

I'm downloading the 1-14-40-50 WW version now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quyvinh:
You CANNOT get to root by using windows. You must use something like "root explorer" downloaded from Google Play store.

Windows can only reach to SDcard only.

Remember, your phone must be ROOTED first.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Stay with 1.14 WW for now and wait for Kitkat 4.4, do not upgrade to 1.15 or 1.16 now, because you do not want to deal with downgrade firmware in the future. Who knows, right now we are able to downgrade, but if Asus patch the bug, then it will not happen again. So just wait for Kitkat. BTW, 1.15 eat battery so bad. Decision is up to you.

Problems with new WW fairmware

Hi

I just upgraded to 1-15-40-35-WW

but even before that I faced two problems:

1: Asus Demo animation starts to run every time my phone goes to sleep or I press the PWR button (while charging), I can't get rid of it.

It starts when I tried to root my phone. so I have to turn off my phone while battery charging!

I tried factory reset but it didn't make any difference.

2: in my email inbox there are 5 emails from demo@asus.com which can not be deleted, even I can't deny receiving Asus emails on my inbox.

I tried deleting Asus account but every time it gets back!

don't you have same problems after changing to WW fairmware?
