Thanks. I've done a hard reset a couple of times and upgraded to latest ROM and radio but still no luck. I do believe it is a problem with this model since I have communicated with others with this phone and they all have the same problem with T-Mobile's network so it's not an isolated problem with my phone. It's some sort of compatibility issue with T-Mobile's network and no one has a guess on where the problem might be. T-Mobile is guessing that it might be an authetication problem or something but they were only guessing and had no way of knowing if that's the problem.

I've communicated with ASUS Australia (I got the phone from an Australian vendor) and also ASUS USA but none of them seem to know what could be the problem. ASUS USA seems to think that the hardware needs to be specifically setup for US networks but that just doesn't seem right. I tried emailing ASUS Taiwan, but they wouldn't give me the time of day since it's not sold in the US.

Unless I can figure this out the only way to get full use out of this phone is to switch over to Cingular which would be my last option.

Thanks,

Ho'okani

Hey as the title shows I want to know which firmware is the better one, to know I have TWRP installed so actually the better option would be the B513 repack for TWRP because otherwise I must install stock recovery and so on right? Is there a big difference between these two version? And which would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
Which rom do you have installed currently?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
Paranoid Android 4.45 the newest build.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
Well in my opinion the actual stock software is better in this case than the custom ones, since in the b5x roms there are little to none bugs, I have used b510 now since it came out and i don't see the need to update again,everything works as it should (except the gps but then the gps in the p6 is horrible)so i'd say if you already have one of them use it, I actually prefer the stock based rom's because if something were to go seriously wrong I would still be able to send it in for repairs, and in my expierience the stock huawei roms work better than repacks, so my advice go for 132>B5x whatever you want they are all mostly the same except for very minor tweaks, easiest is b510, if you want some quick pointer's and a few must have mods try http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54717666&postcount=8
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
Okay thanks man
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
Hey have you changed your rom yet? I would recommend you try this http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p6/development/diy-rom-b510-based-add-want-t2843511, you can replace b510 with b511,b512,b513 if you wanted to
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
No not yet I am backing up my data right now, my plan was now to directly install B512 since its a full update.app and not a OTA like in the other firmwares. So now I install stock B510 recovery and boot.img and go straight to B512 and not install B132 before that should theoreticly work, or?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
As far as i know you have to install b132 first otherwise it won't work(i think the b132 contains files that the b510,b512,b513 roms need(they are probly ota update files even if they look like normal firmware files) [note] did you download a repackged one? they might work like that.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

also fiy you could use titanium backup to make the process much much easier(hint of warning though don't restore alarms,bluetooth,wifi stuff between different android versions it will seriously mess up your phone)for call logs and messages use call logs backup & restore and for sms use sms backup and restore
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei/huawei-ascend-p6-firmwareupdate-b512-offiziell/ Here when you use google translator and scroll down they have the full firmware which can be flashed over all versions. For me that worked everytime with B506 and B507 which was kinda the same procedure. So I will try and report back if he doesn't update I will install B132 and so on ;)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
ok let me know what happens, i did see them mentioning the b132 firmware there near the bottom so maybe it's the same as the one's one the forum
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
So okay it worked without Problems I just installed boot.img and recovery.img from B510 and made a force update. Worked perfectly. Maybe you can add this to your thread.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
so you extracted the boot .igm file and the recovery.img from the b510 and copied the 510's update.app file to the interal memory> flashed boot and rec > then flashed b510 > Is that how you did it? Keep in mind I need to keep the steps reasonably simple so that newbs to android(flashing etc) can also do it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
Okay

1. Starting with Paranoid Android, OMNI or any other AOSP-based ROM.

2. Backing up all data with Titanium backup and copy everything you need from your internal storage. ATTENTION: The internal storage will be wiped while flashing, so the backup MUST be on your SD-Card.

3. Copy dload folder to SD-Card or internal storage. (there should be no differnce)

4. Boot to TWRP and make a backup if something goes wrong.

5. In TWRP wipe everything except internal and external storage.

6. In TWRP choose reboot to bootloader. Confirm that no OS is installed and don't install SuperSU.

7. Plug your phone in your PC and open a CMD.

8. Download B510 recovery.img and boot.img from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51718316 .

9. Follow the instructions by [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION]. IMPORTANT: When the installation is finished and the phone reboots hold all three buttons and unplug the USB cable. (I needed more than one time to get it because the first time it was frozen in recovery. Just hold all three buttons till it reboots again.

10. You are finished!! The first boots takes some time no need to panic.

Additional:

Reinstall TWRP and flash SuperSU for Root. Than you can restore your backup you made in the second step.

Here you go. you can copy this in your post if you want.

What U thing about Xperia Z3 and what is the incentive to change from Xperia Z to Z3 ?
[General Topics] Planterz:
The Z3 is an incremental change from the Z2 when it comes to specs, and has a physical redesign. Compared to the Xperia Z though, it's a much better phone. Better camera, much better specs, far better screen (IPS LCD vs TFT). The Z is still a very capable phone though, so it's up to you if you actually need the upgrade or not.

Hi People,

We all know how hard our Devs have worked to port 4.2 our device, We all will always appreciate that but in the end 4.2 is still not rock stable if compared to 4.1

I would like to recommend / advice our developers to continue working on 4.1 only

I understand the amount of hardwork involved by our developers but the bottom line is that its really not worth it to work on a 4.2 ROM

I hope we all will understand
[Micromax A110] sierrarohan:
Hi bro! I understand your concerns but as far as my opinion goes, 4.2 ROM's are much better than earlier versions!! Try the UltraSLIM ROM or Mere ROM! They are very smooth indeed! And Now I believe, PureXperia amd Color ROM are just awesome!! What issues are u facing?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XBlackChaosX:
My question is why is it that Android phones slow down and become laggy once you install a lot of apps? It's annoying because I'm one that Installs a lot of apps on my phone. It's currently happening on sgh m919. It also was happening to my old RAZR Maxx HD.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
So does Iphone...And any other smart phone....So do computers....Its because you download so much crap and have so much crap running you fill up all your ram.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
It matters greatly WHAT apps you download.

Properly designed apps that aren't invasive don't take up any RAM or other system resources (other than storage space) when not being actively used.

It's apps that are designed to run constantly and use up system resources with high priority that bog down the speed and make the rom sluggish. Sometimes that is done because the app developer doesn't know what he's doing. Sometimes it's by design because the app developer doesn't care how the side effects are and he just wants his app running all the time for various reasons. Some apps needs that, like a text messaging app that has to be ready to go the second a message comes in. Some apps don't need that kind of priority but are given it anyway.

You can even have well designed apps that are able to produce notifications that don't run at full speed in the background hogging up system resources.

It's having too many of those kinds of apps installed that cause you problems. Not apps in general.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
The thread about better battery life: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2357417 shows how to make apps better behaved.

Using Greenify and the other methods discussed will also make your phone less laggy, as well as saving battery. Almost all messaging apps, as well as Facebook, etc will really slow things down.

Try fastboot rather than adb:

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:

fastboot reboot-bootloader
[Moto X Q&A] duard:
Device is off line because I cant access bootloader ou recovery ... buttons are DEAD !!!!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Yes, I realize that. Assuming that *only* the buttons are broken, and the device itself is intact, if it has a charge, it *should* turn on immediately upon plugging into the USB port on your computer.

Once turned on, you *should* be able to use fastboot to reboot into the bootloader as I have suggested.

If the device itself is broken, and not just the buttons, I have no suggestions for you...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Seireiju:
I want to get a Purple Galaxy S4 to use on Freedompop, but it seems that they only support the non T model of the phone,

So I checked swappa and there weren't any purple SPH-L720, but there were a few purple SPH-L720T.

Decided to check ebay, and there are Purple Sprint S4s listed as SPH-L720 and SPH-L720T, not sure whether or not I should trust that.

Did they have S4s in purple before they rolled out the T models? Cuz I don;t want to buy one just to find out that it's not the right model.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Tekone:
As I saw they have purple color S4.. none T model. As long as the sticker not a T model and MEID match the board this fine.

For far for using with Freedompop.. They need a Sprint Sim Card.. I'm trying to find where can find a Sprint sim card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bryguy9021:
u could always buy any s4 and just buy the purple front glass sepereate for 4$ online.. lil bit of work though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Seireiju:
Wait are you talking about Swappa or ebay? cuz Swappa has two listings device listings for the Sprint S4, the T and non T versions, and when I use the filtering options on the side to show only purple devices only the T model shows any. Which is why I'm hesitant to buy one of those Purple ones off of ebay that are labeled as the non Triband versions.

Though the fact that Swappa lists the non T version as having a Purple option probably means one exists, and it might just be a coincidence that Swappa doesn't have any Purple SPH-L720 right now.

I think they'd either mail me a SIM or I'd have to go into a sprint store and get one.

If it's anything like the Note II I had, then the back housing and cover are dead easy, the glass was glued to the LCD, which was glued to that plastic frame that had the board and wires on.

So I'd rather pass on trying that, though I did consider it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bryguy9021:
glued to lcd.. heatgun takes off.. reglue.. recently did mine cause i dropped and fractured mine. i have the t model but the fronts swappable from any model.. for real for realz u should put a otterbox on it or somethin cuz this phone is a plastic pos design wise.. then u wouldnt even know what color ur s4 is.. grab a purple otterbox :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Seireiju:
[UPDATE] Just browsed youtube, saw that this Purple S4 didn't have the T in the model number, so I'll go ahead and buy one off of ebay, too bad there weren't any on swappa, but I've bought phones off of ebay so I don't really care.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Tekone:
I'm sure about swappa.. I personal prefer ebay with reliable seller.

Freedompop won't mail you the Sim Card I spoke to the rep on Freedompop. And Sprint will not give out sim card without activate like with them?

I'll try different sprint store tomorrow. The sprint store near ask my sprint account or phone which I don't have Sprint activate line with them and they can service me.

Please keep me update how you activate with freedompop. I have a working S4 black without Sprint Card.

Yo, I'm curious if there is a way to monetize your app with out publishing it on play store. I know that admob is working without connecting the app, but on the other hand adcolony will not send you ads if you wont provide a link to the app.

So? what do you think?
[General Monetization] bhandari:
you can airpush a try
[General Monetization] everfantasy3:
Why not others?

HI, I think you can contact your publisher manager, and then send him the app you own.

Then they will approve you soon.

Or you can just chose some other ad networks, such as mobvista, airpush, mobilecore and so on.

If you are always in good range of a tower and your battery stats never show yellow, I'd just stay with Cubic or Reno.

If you go large distances between towers or often have a yellow signal in battery stats, I'd go with yeAH or Illinois.

That's the best I can say... TCP congestion management is very complicated.

I work in a hospital with 7 floors including a basement that I'm always going in and out of and frequently have a yellow (weak) signal. I use yeAH and have had way better results than when I'm on Cubic. It totally depends on your distance from towers.

and the Quick charge 2.0 feature itself is part of the Snapdragon 801 CPU https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/801

DoCoMo (Japan carrier) has officially enabled the Quick Charge 2.0 on their handsets, including the Galaxy S5. The power adapter is for sure different, and I am not aware of any firmware change.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] trettet:
Okay base on my sort of "research" quick chargers are sort of smart.. they communicate with the phone on what kind of power it wants. In the current S5 software or hardware, it's saying that it's only capable of 2 amps and 5 volts thats why it won't charge quickly and at the same time it won't break your phone on overvoltage or overcurrent when using Qualcomm certified quickcharge 2.0 chargers.

From the datatsheet.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Blazing angel:
So in that case, a firmware update is required to enable quickcharge? It might come with lollipop!

However, does anybody know if the japanese s5 has a different battery?
