Fyi that Chinese root method which is posted early on in the rollback thread it will root with ADB only.. And the factory reset thing has not really been consistent throughout each user.. But more or less we have been advising people not to because the chances are greater that you will lose the superuser binaries and you definitely will lose safestrap if installed. What is hard to get through to people is when they are in a boot loop they get in a hurry and start factory resetting and that is not always the best option. Depending on exactly what is going on. Most of the time it is people losing their ADB access and cannot figure out how to uninstall the MTP drivers first then install the ADB drivers..

Good job getting your device back online and thank you very much for the closing write up .

hi all,

Can anyone tell me how can I turn on/off HSDPA?

As HSDPA drains my battery like hell compare to a normal UMTS network.

What I need to do is to turn off HSDPA when I need to remain connected for a long period of time such as agilemessenger. HSDPA can drain my battery from 100% to zero within less than 3 hours. I strongly believe a normal UMTS (without HSDPA) can last the battery a lot longer.

Pls tell me if you have any suggestions or correct me if my thought is wrong.

Hello,

You can do it with fit4cat hermes tweaker.

I attach this ZIP file.

Good use
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wimpy:
can anyone comment on whether this indeeds help with battery life? I need my data on all the time so any help on that front would be cool. And if so how much does it conserve?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
NOOOO ... dont use the fit4cat update for this .. it's not supposed to be used on production devices that have their HSDPA enabled already ..

best option will be to apply the reg hack to enable the phone band settings on the Cingular 8525 (Cingular wisely decided to disable this, look on the wiki for this reg update) .. and select GSM to back down to GSM network ...

Depending on your usage of UMTS the device might get hot .. so using the GSM bands will definitely be helpful if the 8525 is getting hot ..

Thanks for your suggestions.

If you have read my thread clearly, I am not intending to downgrade my network back to GSM.

I am intending to disable HSDPA only, I still want my UMTS connection.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] markyeungcy:
Thanks for your attachment. I have successfully installed the tweaker, however, failed to run it.

Other than this tweaker, any other method to switch off HSDPA??

Again, I still need my UMTS, just want to turn of HSDPA (3.5G) only.

Mark
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
my bad ... didnt understand your first email properly ... And personally, I havent seen any such hacks to disable just HSDPA (UMTS still working) so far for the TyTN ... Maybe pof or Sleuth255 know something ...

Question tho - How do you know that HSDPA drains more battery than just UMTS?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] markyeungcy:
Made a simple experiment.

As I have tried between 2 carrier SIM cards.

Carrier A supports HSDPA, it drains my battery from 100% to zero in less than 2.5 hours with MSN or agile Messenger connected.

Carrier B supports only normal UMTS, my battery managed to survive around 8 to 10 hours with messenger connected as well.

I think this can pretty much prove that HSDPA drains the battery much worse compare to a UMTS network.

Mark
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
IMO that does not necessarily mean that HSDPA network sucks up more power than UMTS .. it's possible that Carrier A might have a really bad data network where your handset is timing out while trying to make a data connection and is constantly re-trying .. this could be a real drain on the battery ...

Anyways .. just my 2c ..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jeffreycentex:
I have the opposite problem. I get much better battery life at home on the HSPDA network than I do at work on a UMTS network...

I charged my phone Friday night and used it for maybe 30 minutes on Saturday/Sunday (voice) and an hour and a half of streaming radio on Saturday and was still at 30% early this (Monday) morning.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
A lot of folks get similar battery life with just HSDPA/UMTS usage...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] austin_boy:
In idle mode it is always UMTS signaling ( even you see HS ) hence if you are not in a data session the battery usage is the same

In dedicated mode, Uplink is always UMTS but the downlink is HS. It is normal that the battery consumption increases with higher bandwidth. Notice that if you remain iddle for say t sec ( set by the operator) the system will downgrade you to UMTS.

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jamiefiedler:
this could be caused by carrier A's tower being farther away, causing the phone to transmit at a higher power level. the data transmissions will make the power draw even higher, and you'll see extreme differences in battery life between the two.

hsdpa is slightly less power efficient than umts for a number of reasons (processor overhead, different transmit power and channel management protocols) but i seriously doubt it's an 80% reduction in battery life. i can't see many manufacturers buying into hsdpa technology if such incredibly poor power management was a side effect.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronmech:
From what I saw online, the moto g doesn't work with tracfone. In theory, if boost uses Verizon's network then it may be possible - eventually.

Funny thing is that tracfone also uses GSM networks but this option isn't available for unlocked GSM phones.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4MUSKRAT:
Boost uses Sprint's Network which TracFone, Net10 & Straight Talk(ALL Owned by same person) all use as well. Now if their system will take the Device's meid in the BYOD then you could try it via Stock boost firmware or either load the Verizon Firmware like flashing to Page Plus or Have someone else do it for you if you are not comfy doing it. I have a Boost Moto G I put the Stock Verizon Firmware on & now use it on Page Plus so if you need it done get ahold of me.

TracFone, Net10 & Straight Talk all use all 4 Major Carrier's Towers= AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint & Verizon

The OTA update checks system files before it installs, so it would download, run a check and then just fail. If you're rooted you might just want to use something like titanium backup pro to disable the SDM.apk (the update check package) and you won't get any more notifications about it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenerator:
First of all I would like to state that I am running echo-rom, I would like to have posted in there but the thread is closed.

My first problem is that the expandable volume menu does not work, this happened to me before with other roms (all on TW) but I couldn't be bothered until now. Whenever I click the gear icon which should expand, it doesn't work. It works before (until I do something?). Anyway I flashed the rom yesterday and didn't bother configuring/customizing it until today. I will try to describe anything I did until the point I noticed it broke again.

I enabled xposed framework, with the modules: wanam xposed, enable battery stats for kitkat, gravitybox, app-settings and xposed torch.

I tweaked some stuff in wanam xposed and in the echo customization center.

Anyway I don't really know what caused it, if no one knows why I will try to pay attention next time when it happens.

The second problem is that whenever I try to swipe down to open my notification bar it doesn't want to work half the time. On my home screen the statusbar turns black (instead of transparent), so there is some sort of registration of touch? I proceed to let go of my finger and and then try again. I also thought that I could have misplaced my finger but I don't know why the statusbar would turn black then.

If anyone knows or has encountered this problem before please share,

much appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 189cutter:
I dunno know but i tried exposed once with a slimrom and it messed my phone up really bad upto the point everything was force crashing. To me i think exposed is your problem. Try wiping data, cache, dalvik, and format system and boot with cwm recovery then flash official firmware for you phone. DO NOT USE 4.3 FIRMWARE IF YOUR ON A 4.4 ROM!! Look for 4.4 rom instead. Sammobile good site but need registraion and slow download for free users (about 1hour) after that try instakking. Your fav rom without xposed. Im 80% sure it will work
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenerator:
So I fixed it, I disabled both gravitybox and wanam xposed and after the reboot volume expand worked again, then I enabled wanam xposed again and it still worked. Either way gravitybox caused it, or it was caused by a conflict between the two.

Also the statusbar problem, my rom has an option where you double-tap the battery icon to change the style of it, I noticed by trying to swipe down from the battery icon it doesnt work. So there you have it. Problem solved
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
The reason is really simple. You don't read before you install the modules.

You can't use Gravitybox on a TW based rom. It's states that in the description. Gravitybox is for aosp only!

Same applies for the post from 189cutter. Wanam Xposed is only for TW based roms. Slimrom is clearly no TW based rom.

So if you want to use the modules, read if they are for your rom. Also make sure that there is no overlapping in functions, because that could cause strange problems as well.

[Firefox OS General] linr76:
I have discussed this at great length on the Mozilla b2g google group.

i am waiting for a satisfactory answer for MONTHS.

it's quite obvious that ZTE does not care AFTER you bought their crap phone.

Mozilla cannot do much about it, but they also do not have the balls to come forward and just say what we already know:

The ZTE Open is dead.

we are all complaining that the manufacturers of Android phones don't push enough updates.

the ZTE Open has been updated a whopping 1 times (from 1.0 -> 1.1), there is an "unofficial" 1.2 build from ZTE which never saw production and that's about it.

do yourself a favor, install ICS on it so you can actually use it and just move on.
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
Exactly.

I've talked to a few higher-ups in the Mozilla b2g group about this and the answer was "contact ZTE".

Contact ZTE. Their answer is "contact Mozilla".

Go back to b2g people, complain, get told that Mozilla's hands are tied and there is nothing to be done about it other than to contact ZTE.
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
Exactly my experience.

Zte offered me to buy an Open C for a reduced price, which I of course declined.

Prior to this I always thought ZTE to be one of the better manufacturers, but now I know better.

This appears to be spyware, your phone should not be doing on it's own, if it were me i'd wipe the thing to be safe. As the phone is relatively quick when it comes to phones you could have all kinds of stuff running in the background, avoid whatever you're installing and stick to simple and reliable sources. Paid for apps are more reliable than free ad supported ones, they've got a smaller footprint and are less hassle.
