Understandable. As long as you understand people get very touchy when their work is reposted elsewhere besides their thread.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] CurbThePain:
Yes I understand.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Dragon31337:
Well, I should tell you that signal quality can't be measured in "bars", go to "settings" -> "about phone" -> "status" -> "network type and strength" and compare those numbers at least (make sure the phone is in the same location, same orientation, etc). Take 3-5 measurements within couple minutes and compare.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] wooddale:
So is this the magic modem (radio) or what don't know about you guys but my Droid Maxx is still not up to par with my moto x on same radio 19 .6.3?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
The modem here is old. Your maxx may never be the same as the x
[Motorola Droid Maxx] wooddale:
So your pretty much saying were screwed how could they do that? The older modems work better grab 4G but no Google.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Do what? I don't have any issues with my maxx. Your issue sounds hardware related. Mine stays on LTE all day long
[Motorola Droid Maxx] wooddale:
Are you in a strong signal area? I am all over signal wise there are places where I know there is 4G and it will only grab 3G unless I airplane then it wont hold all the time. Im going back to Il in a couple weeks where I get a strong signal Ill see how it works there just kind of frustrating here.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Work is consistently 1 bar LTE. I have occasional drop to 3G but then i just force it back to LTE
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Caseyk621:
Did you ever happen to try the 19.6.3 radio on your SV build?

Sent from My Droid Ultra
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Nope. Mine is fine, other than at work. But everyone here with VZW has that issue. Been popping in my TMo sim lately.

Which by the way, my port completely fixed the LTE Tmobile bug
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Caseyk621:
OK. Imma try when I get home. Sick of this signal. I've never flashed one before. I'll report back.

Sent from My Droid Ultra
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
You still running my port? Having signal issues? 19.6.3 had a solid radio for sure.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Caseyk621:
Yes and yes!

[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Try it. Dont think it will do much though
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Caseyk621:
You don't think it'll work? Or if it works you don't think it'll help?

It will flash, but I dont think it will help

Dang. Raining on my parade!

[Motorola Droid Maxx] Caseyk621:
Flashed the 19.6.3 radio. I'm impressed. Signal is still weak in some areas near my house, but the handoff is much smoother and seemingly more efficient. Just Fyi.

[Motorola Droid Maxx] Vicpdx18:
Well I would love to flash this if it fixed the bars I grab with my Maxx on AT&T. I noticed that my Maxx with the latest AT&T sim and the latest OTA from Verizon 23.3.24 my Maxx's signal is off.

I was in an area with -59dbm and the latest radio gives me 4 bars MAX. I did hit finally a place with 5 bars but 5 bars is pretty rare so far on my Maxx.

I feel the phone has great signal but the signal bars are a bug in the Volte update. I personally turned off Volte cause it wont work anyways on AT&T unless by a band 4 Volte enabled cell site.

Need advice on the best Stock Android Rom to switch to...

I was on the horrible Sony Xperia Z Ultra and had the Bootloader locked meaning no custom roms no fancy tweaking...i did contact Sony aswell as my carrier that supplied the handset but it never got resolved!

Anyways i now have a Sony Xperia Z1 and the bootloader is able to be unlocked...So im in the middle of unlocking the bootloader as i type this thread then straight after will root! The question i have is what's the best Stock Android Rom to use? Is there a GPE Google Play Edition Rom available for the Z1? also how stable is the official CM11 from Cyanogenmod official site?

I badly want to get my device stock android as i hate the Sony bugged skin :( I hope i have a easlyier time with my Z1 as compared to my Ultra...

Hope to hear from you guys soon ;)

Hi guys,

well, i'm thinking to replace my Blue Angel with an Hermes. I have followed since september discussion about screen alignment and also the topic with POLL about SA problem.

At the end of the poll, we have noticed that SA problem has a spread of 50%.

So.... my problem is this:

I can scrape this PDA for a special price (brand new version of course) but i will not recive a cash voucer, so i will not be able to recive assistence or replacement for my device.

So if a recive a "NO SA problem PDA" i will be really happy, but if a will recive an "old serial number decive with SA problem" ??? what i will have to do ? :confused: :(

I have read about "credit card" and "removing foam" procedure, but are them realy able to solve the problem on every device with succes rate about of 100% ? Do they always work if well performed ?

thanks for all
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dandare123:
I may be one of the lucky 50% with the one I have, but I had the Hermes now for 2 months, taking it to remote places like India and Indonesia, treating it badly as a work device and it still works falwlessly as it did on it's first day.

The only thing that got messed up so far is the screen since I use anything at hand (including keys and other sharp devices) as a pointer simply because I don't like to fumble around with the provided pen. So I recommend a good screen protector.

And - not to forget to mention - I tossed the case they provide at the first day - the magnets of the case were strong enough to make my ATM card unreadable when I accidentially had it close to the case - maybe that is the reason for most of the problems, stong magnets and electronic equipment usually don't go along together that well...

My 5 cents...
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] fjf4ll:
Hi all

Im pretty amazed about non of you guys had not bring this matter up. I migrated from Galaxy Tab 7.7 and so far absolutely in love with this Tab S. But when it came across writing notes and organising them I have absolute difficulties finding one good app to do so other than Amazing Note HD by Brid :rolleyes:

Do you guys have any other better app/apk out there that is available to substitute this? Not a big fan of evernote :crying:

Here is the original link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2273026

But i think its outdated version from the Galaxy Tab 7.7. I tried installing from the last apk but resolution is too small and any other updated version does the same.

Please if you guys could get this thing to work it would be awesome. And would be a great big help to this forum community :fingers-crossed:

Much appreciation.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] edan1979:
its tooo outdated... even though the apps was great... i have to stop using it after 7.7. even the app maker stop updating it... i had try to use appsetting but still havent found the proper resolution to make it bigger... it always look small... kins of miss it anyway... ^_^

I'm so happy!!!

And you'll have a weekly as soon as Slim team release one (you don't have to wait for me to do it ;) )

Enjoy.

Nope, it is almost based on AOSP, there are some minor parts fetched from CyanogenMod repos (but insignificant to say it is based on CM :p)

When making phone calls through a Parrot MKI9200 bluetooth car system on this rom, the person in the other end says that my voice stutters and is not easy to understand.

It does not happen on "stock" roms.

Anybody having the same issues.

Other than that it Works great.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Is updating through OTA working? 7.2.1 to 7.4!

I'll look into it.

No, OTA in Slimcenter is not working ( Translated from German: Properties of SlimOTA can not be read )

(Notifications in App are enabled!)

No problems here with BMW bluetooth calls, only thing is that I can not access messages from car, but this is since ever on Amami with SlimKat (Stock is working),

with SlimKat on old Galaxy S2 it was working too. (But that is nothing important would be just nice to have )

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Gronkdalonka:
Well i am also still on this rom and NFC is working for me as far as i can tell. I am just making a guess here, but maybe it is a security issue: Your app might be detecting root und simple refuses to work because your phone is therefore considered unsafe. (The banking app i use detects root but only displays a warning message about it upon start). So if this is the case you might want to try something like rootcloak to use it properly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Proda:
Yeah, that crossed my mind too. I'll try with that rootcloak app.

Not sure if this is relevant, but the other solution could be maybe to switch to Google Play AU, since my Google Wallet is using US credit card now!?

Tried : Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer and Fota.. both states that it works but my recovery never "boots" just stands there with a another light on the phone..

Suggestions anyone ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] luckyrumo:
Sounds to me like you're booting to bootloader, not recovery. At least fota TWRP always worked on my phone.

well i have tried

fotaZ1_2.8.4

TWRPv2.8.6.0_f2fs_Z1

and some more..

well i use the boot to recover in the POWER menu, what version did you use and how do you enter recovery then ?

EDIT: light change to orange if i press volume up or down, but then phone "hangs".. if i do nothing it boots and works fine but i have NO recovery!!

Tried flashing recovery from inside rom too, all states it "fine" but same thing..

Maby i could flash a kernel with a recovery on it, can someone with experience help me out
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] luckyrumo:
I have fota TWRP 2.8.7.0, flashed with fastboot, and I can boot into it by pressing vol down at the purple led or from SlimLP power menu.

Can i install it over rooted stock 5.0.2 with unlocked bootloader or do i need to flash 4.4.4 1st?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moonryder:
to avoid any issues make full wipe and then flash the 4.4.4
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] berthur:
Thanks for your reply.

If I understand correctly, I need to flash stock 4.4.4 before flashing slimkat to be safe, right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Gronkdalonka:
like moonryder said a full wipe should be enough, flashing a 4.4.4 stock rom is not necessary

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ollie.olsson:
I'm using the latest release of the stable SlimKat, with the then most up-to-date GApps.

However, last night, I let my battery die, instead of putting it in the charger, and went to bed.

This morning I plugged it in, and then let it charge until it was full (while being powered off), and then when I start it up again, it's now in a weird boot-loop. But not the normal kind.

It boots to the lock screen, I can then unlock it, and it's all gravy for a few seconds, but then it reboots again, with the lock screen still visible, and it's just in this loop now.

Any ideas of what caused this, and if I can save it? I'm putting my money on not being able to save it, and will try another ROM in the mean time SlimROM rebuilds itself.

I've let the battery drain previously without this happening, so it's all pretty new to me, and I've been using this ROM since the most recent stable version was released.

I can safely go into the recovery, and I even made a backup image of the mess.

Any ideas/suggestions?

EDIT: Going to try and re-install the ROM without doing any wipes, etc. See if that helps. Like I were to be updating an older ROM.

EDIT 2: Dirty flash worked, now I'm having problems with Google Play Store. I think I remember what to do...otherwise there should be info in the vast ocean of information that is the internet/XDA.

EDIT 3: Still can't log into my Google account via the phone. I've tried updating the GApps, but the doesn't seem to work, I tried creating a spoof account. Nothing. The phone doesn't communicate with the Google Servers. I installed Google Services via an APK I downloaded, but then I get error messages all the time. I didn't sideload it, could that be a problem? I just installed it while in Android.

With this rom it is possible to switch from 'Davlik' to 'ArT'.

(as long, as you don't install 'exposed framework'.)

I think it is helpfull to mention this.
