Hard Reset absolutely DOES undo registry changes - it'll basically reformat your phone. I suspect you mean a simple soft reset via the button?

Search for PHM regedit or any other of the wiki-recommended registry editors and install that. FWIW, I manually made the change on my 8525 and it works. I didn't use the .cab.

UMTS band

Hi . I have installed your cab file, then the band tab appears. When I try to change to 900 // 1800 ( Brazil ) and click at Ok, a message appears " warning :Unable to change GSM /UMTS Band,please check later".

I´m using the 8525

Help me please !!!!!!!

Shogun (I'm with Cingular too btw)...

I was having the dropped call problem when the phone switched back and forth between the G and U. About 75% of all my calls, ingoing and outgoing, this would happen too. I live in Los Angeles, so I figured the competing towers were wreaking havoc.

Quick question... I've selected WCDMA as a network because I get full bars all over the place, I guess I'm just confused when then selecting the GSM/UMTS band, which selection to use: Auto, GSM900/UMTS, GSM1900/UMTS, or UMTS. If I'm selecting only the 3g network to use, wouldn't I only select then the UMTS band? Are there benefits to selecting one of the other?

Thanks in advance... You've saved my relationship with my new gf, she kept thinking I was hanging up on her and/or being shady. Not to mention how frustrating it is to drop calls left and right.

:)

Thanks all for the Great info

I was going into the Cingular store to return this 8525 but after spending much time on this site I managed to find enough info to hack/upgrade untill I have a pretty nice functioning device.

My biggest problem was that it would set in 3G and never change, no call, no text nothing. (FYI: I have the same firmware specs as wpbear thanks to all the upgrades) The last thing I did was to apply the reg hack at the beginning of this post and was able to lock into edge and now it works beautifully!

So, I am not going to return it as it is my belief that in time Cingular's high speed coverage will get increasingly better and I will be able to put the handset back to auto. :rolleyes:

I am a computer engineer/programmer and I love what I do but I have to say that the last 2 days have not been fun, however without the outstanding help and assistance of the members I could not have accomplished this. :D

I must admit this is by far the best tech site it has been my pleasure to be associated with and certainly deserves my donation. I hope others donate as well so this site continues to operate.

Thanks again for all the help and information!!!

While on the hunt to change my U icon to a 3g icon, I came across a reg hack that showed the three states of connection eg

gsm (G)

utms (3g)

hpsda (H)

I have had a look around the forums and I cant find the reg key, any one else seen it and remind me what it is?

hang at Settings > Phone after changing UMTS page option

I'm having the same problem as another user, but have not seen a solution in the forums.

I edited the registry to change showUMTSbandpage to 1. Whenever I went to Settings > Phone, the phone hangs.

I soft-reset and changed the registry back to 0. And soft reset again.

Hang problem is still there every time I try to access Settings > Phone.

8525 upgraded to AT&T ROM

ROM 2.15.502.3

Radio 1.40.30.00

WM5 OS 5.1.478 (Build 15706.3.5.2)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
Are you running PTTfix? If so make sure you're running the latest - this hang was reported with earlier PTTfix versions on the 2.15 AT&T ROM - completely independent of the UMTS setting.

WOW I cant begin to thank you enogh I have been using my 8525 for over a month all was great till they installed a 3g tower in the neighboring town so I was picking up 1 bar of 3g before full edge which in turn was dropping calls and everything i was also hearing screaching sounds when the phone tried changing over to edge I was in contact with the higer ups at ATT but to no avail they said it was my phone got it replaced and had same issues! Before this all happened i recomended it to a freind of mine and he was happy till this started happing but now i can just stay on edge!!! just to note 3g was working fine in other eareas of the country i traveled from lakeood nj to toronto canada without a problem so its not my phone!!!

Please if anyone has had similar problems please pm me so i can have att contact you to try and get to the bottem of this so i can use 3g again! or ill just wait for the new HPs they look good!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] banditione:
I have a question. I know that when we switch bands, we get G for GPRS and 3G for UTDMA. When it is set to auto, if there is an area where there is no 3G, I get E that is faster then G. Can we have the ability to change the bands so I not just get the lower conection of G but get E? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] afumicello:
I have the 8525 and the dropped calls are driving me insane. It took me 15 tries to get through to a friend this afternoon!

I really want to download this hack... but it doesn't seem to want to let me. Says that I might not have permission? What does that mean and how do I fix it!?!?

THANKS!

Nevermind! Solved the issue on my own... I'm not really sure why it works now, but it works! So, thanks anyway! I'm am so excited about this fix, I can't wait to try it out tomorrow... I'd call some one to test it, but its 1 in the morning and they'd probably kill me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fjumayao:
Thanks so much!!!

I found this site by accident but this "show UMTS band" hack has saved my sanity. After upgrading to WM6 on my HTC 8525, my signal strength seems to be lower than before and I seem to be dropping more calls. Now I understand. With the "band" option on my phone settings I just set it to GSM and get great performance since I don't always use the 3G speed. I don't have 10 euros and was going to donate 5 but as soon as I have some to spare I will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your great ideas, intelligence and solutions with the rest of us!!! You guys are just plain GREAT! :)
[Shield Q&A] scorpionx:
So yeah. Anyone have a stock rom dump I could grab and reflash with? I managed to brick mine doing a merge updates into rom with titanium backup before taking a dump of my rom. It appears that the stock rom hasn't been posted on nvidia's site yet. If not, I can wait :)
[Shield Q&A] Keithn:
The source is available and I'm currently syncing. If I'm able to make anything useful I will post it up and let you know.

Sent from my One M8

The source compiled. I don't think I have it all together in a nice package (IMG/zip) yet, but I'll dig through it once I get home tonight.
[Shield Q&A] Keithn:
Anyone who want's to give this a try go ahead. I haven't tried it yet. I followed Nvidia's build instructions and built the factory preinstalled build. You need to have your bootloader unlocked, all of the files flash using fastboot. Hopefully this will work for anyone having issues until Nvidia gets a factory image out.

[Shield Q&A] scorpionx:
Awesome! Ty sir, I'll give that a shot.
[Shield Q&A] Keithn:
I gave it a try. I also posted in the dev section with a little more info. It will boot just it doesn't have the play store/nvidia apps. So I kinda screwed myself there by trying it since I was fine before hand. Oh well :silly:. I'll push the google stuff and play with it later.
[Shield Q&A] scorpionx:
I believe the nvidia apps are all on the playstore. I saw the link for nvidia hub showing up on my nexus 7. That'd be pretty nice to be honest (assuming there aren't any special drivers needed) having a super clean device.
[Shield Q&A] Keithn:
I was able to get the google frameworks and playstore by downloading a gapps zip and pushing them onto the device using adb so that's a start
[Shield Q&A] scorpionx:
Found an odd issue. When I let my tablet idle to sleep, the touch screen stops responding. If I lock it with the button it doesn't do that. Do you have the same issue? Thanks again for all your help with the build! It's nice just having a useful device again :)
[Shield Q&A] Keithn:
I'm getting some odd things on reboot too. The screen looks all messed up for a minute then it corrects itself. I'll try the OTA0 build nvidia has listed too and see if that's any better. Won't be until tomorrow night at least.

How much bulk do they add? And does it come with a new back cover or can I use my old one? Do you guys think this will fit into my case or would I need to get a different one that supports extended batteries?

its the same size as stock so doubt it adds any bulk and yes you can use stock battery cover or case your using.

Well mine S4 turned of last night it freezed and it turned off. I'm on Broodroms Pre Final 4.4.4. After that it turned on and shows only the S4 splash screen and then it turns off again and it won't turn on. After i pulled out the battery and placed it back then it boots but then again it shows only the S4 splash screen and then it turns off again. I've read some things on the internet that it maybe can be a dead battery that is causing this problem. Or maybe it is an another problem maybe that you XDA members can help me it would be great :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentdeep:
If u can boot to recovery, flash your stock official rom. Should be fixed after that.

Or you can also flash your official rom in Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrindia:
It's only shows the S4 splash screen for a second then it turns off and i'm not able to get it turned on again. I can't get in to recovery or download mode the phone turns off after a few seconds and that's it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentdeep:
Check you power button, maybe it's stucked. I've read many cases of S4 stucked power button.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrindia:
Also checked that one but that is working ok it's not stuck. It happened overnight from one moment to the other moment it was doing that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Is your phone charged? :P The very basic question.

Put it on charging for a while try getting in the download mode then.

If still no succes..then there is a way too...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
That happened to me once and reason was because the phone was not charging (even if USB has power supplied).

To solve this, I first removed it from the samsung charger and charged it using a laptop or computer for approximately 10 minutes.

That will get it charging
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashknight95:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrindia:
I've tried to connect it to my laptop but it won't charge unfortunately. I'm also not possible to get it in to download mode it shutdown after a few seconds. And it wil only turn on If I remove the battery and replace it the phone will vibrate, show the Galaxy S4 splash screen for a second or two, then it turns off again. Searching on the internet people say that it's a faulty battery so i could try that method and if that is not working i think it's something with the mainbord (i hope not)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Change the battery AND/OR

Try a USB JIG then. The final thing that can be done. Heard it works with i9500 too.

Buy yourself a USB JIG from ebay or something and try getting in the download mode. It costs less than INR200.

Thank me if I helped :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrindia:
Also tried that i've already a USB JIG at home but it keeps shutting down after a few seconds. I wil try a another battery hopefully that will be the problem and not something else
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Sure.

Might be some moisture that is not letting the electricity pass properly too...

Clean the terminal of the battery and the connectors of the phone..see if this works?

Well something like this hapoened to my note 2 because of moisture in the charging jack..the charging jack was okay but the battery wentt kaputt.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
But in anycase you will have to buy a new one. The old battery if has gone kaputt wont work anymore. Like my Note 2. ;) :D

Sup ppl,

i have just returned from central london (xmas shopping lol)... and i thought why not pop into a orange store.... obviosuly they didnt have the M700 on display. So i thought let me ask one of the sales reps. and his excat words were "..orange have with drawn it, and i dont know why". Hearing this i thought hm it does related to ppl on forums saying that the GPS will be disabled to start with. But i thought i wonder how true this is. So me being me... i went to other store asked same question....and got a similar answer. Can anyone confirm this?

So looks like you what be seeing the M700 for a while until the problem is sorted out between the GPS and FM radio(i think it was rite?).

But in place of that they do have the SPV M650 coming out soon. God knows when tho. Its been mentioned on the france orange website. So who knows!!:rolleyes:
[P3600 General] XenoV:
I haven't heard about the M700 but somewhere I've read that Orange has withdrawn the C700 (HTC Breeze). Reason mentioned here was a too short battery life.

As we all know resellers (like Orange is one of them) have a hard time with HTC. For instance i-mate fell of the boat already. Maybe Orange is next? Anyone more info?
[P3600 General] Moogled:
I have just had a look at orange's business handset roadmap and they have the M700 listed as a february/march launch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerch:
Hello all,

I'm having issues getting GPS to lock on every rom. Be it AOSP or TW based, my GPS has trouble locking and updating. Often times in Google Maps and Waze it looks as though the arrow is facing 90 degrees in the opposite direction. Another problem is that after the GPS locks, it then does not update as frequently as it should causing the arrow to stay in one place on Maps and it can take minutes to update with your new position.

Has anyone else been experiencing this?

My baseband version is VRUCML1

And my location settings have been set for high accuracy.

Edit: This issue has been fixed thanks to TheHobbyist
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheHobbyist:
Hey there. I had gps issues before as well. I tried literally everything on the software end of things with no luck. However, I took the back off of my s3, tightened the screws (you need a special small screwdriver), booted back up, and viola!

I know it sounds odd, but trust me on this one and give it a go ☺
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcucci217:
Having a very similar issue. I'll try the screw fix, I suppose, but I feel that the problem is more with updating than locking, leading me to believe that it may be a software problem.

Please post if you have found a solution! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheHobbyist:
I swear by the screw fix. After your GPS is fixed, use GPS STATUS free on the play store for optimal gps performance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerch:
You Sir are a miracle worker.

If I could get a technical explanation for why this worked I would appreciate it. I have no idea how this was even possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheHobbyist:
I'm glad to hear yet another success story! :good:

Regarding a technical explanation, the gps does rely on signal reception (gps signal reception) and as such, it makes use of an antennae that is incorporated into the body of the phone. When the screws are tight, the contact between the gps and the antennae it uses is better and you get better gps reception.

(This is my theory)

I don't make cell phones, but I work with electronics hardware a lot. In my case, the screws were loose because my kid is always throwing my phone across the room =)

If you ever are browsing xda and see an s3 owner with gps issues, please take the time to share this fix with them! :good:
