[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
Re

You have helped. I noticed the same behavior on my wife's Galaxy S5. Too bad we couldn't control more of the phones data functions out of box without rooting. Ex: turn off xlte, force 3g, see what band phone is operating on. I saw Verizon pushed 4.4.4 to the S5? Hopefully we're not too far behind.

Bars aside, indoors, connected to what I assume is xlte I'm getting -100-105 DB (3 bars) moving further into the house that goes up to 110...then drops to -77DB and I get 5 bars. This has to be it switching from AWS to 700mhz. This would explain why on factory firmware I always had five bars as XLTE wasn't enabled yet.

On voice calls I always have five bars. SMS send fine regardless of signal strength. I'm not complaining, I just wish I had more control over it. Even my POS HTC EVO LTE let me force 3g or force LTE without rooting (not that forcing LTE did much-sprints idea of 'covering' a city with LTE actually means just covering 1/3rd of it.)

Maybe I am nitpicking. I'm on wi-fi anyway. Confined to crutches for a few weeks anyway. Broke my leg. Hit by a car in the parking lot of the Verizon Wireless store the day I bought this phone. Talk about irony. Phone didn't even have a scratch.

Anyway. Factory reset fixed the text message app. It's back to being instantaneous.

They do also have home or office signal boosters on amazon. Search Verizon signal booster. High performance dual band signal booster - coverage up to 2,500 sq. ft. (up to 70 dB system gain)

Ideal for homes that have reliable outside signal

Reduces dropped and missed calls and provides faster 4G data performance for multiple simultaneous users

Boosts performance on iPhone, Samsung, Android and other phones and mobile devices

Compatible with mobile phones and devices operating on Verizon 4G LTE, CEL (800 MHz) and PCS (1900 MHz) your not nitpicking sorry for the poor choice of words I ment no offense. I do the same thing all the time trying to perfect my phones performance. I'm sorry to hear you are injured I hope you have a speedy recovery. If you require more help just ask. Goodday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
Annnnnnnnnnnnd fixed

Problem resolved. Used Odin to flash a radio prior to band 4 being enabled. Back to five bars (-77 db) everywhere in the house. If the XLTE disconnect threshold were lower, I wouldn't have had to do this.. Or if they let us have some control over band 4 without rooting.

FWIW, this never affected voice calls or texts. Data was usable but not as good (at -105DB, what do you expect) It would, downstairs, switch back to 700 mhz and pop up to five bars.. Anyway. I believe this is an isolated issue because I'm so close to a tower. Any other note 3 wouldn't have even tried to hold onto XLTE indoors like this one did.

Let's see what 4.4.4 brings! My wifes Galaxy S5 runs it and it's noticeably more responsive..but thats about it. Back to loving my note 3.

Could you tell us what modem you used? I flashed MI9 and going back into service mode I still have it enabled.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
Sorry it took so long to reply. I used MI9. I tried the one immediately after but it made no difference. FWIW, this is on my new out of box Note 3 unrooted totally stock. H/W Version N900V.07. It came with 4.3. MI9 shows no change for you? I immediately went back to five bars (-77db) of LTE.

I would've kept NC4 if it weren't so eager to hold onto horrible XLTE connections before choosing 700mhz. That said, prior to downgrading, my wife's S5 had the same signal strength. It behaved much like the Note 3s radios.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milleniumlance:
thx i had MJE and was still having problems, went to MI9 and back to 5 bars -83, was at -101 !!! this is a serious problem!!, this may be my last samsung device... i may go Moto X next time
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayNote:
lol. i'd actually put the blame on Verizon for this. Maybe split it between Samsung and them. XLTE connections thresholds NEED to be fixed. Hopefully it gets addressed in 4.4.4 otherwise I'll run MI9 and forget about XLTE. Glad it worked out for you. Sounds like yours was doing the same thing mine was.

[XDA Assist] navjotsahi:
Hey Guys,

Im using a sony xperia SP (C5302) and i'd made a TWRP backup of the complete system, data and all.

Now i've installed a custom rom (XperianZe v3) but whenever i try to recover only "Data" from the backup, my system ends up in a bootloop . Any help on how to get my data back would surely be appreciated.
[XDA Assist] Perseus:
Kindly note, extracting the Data Partition from a Nandroid Backup will overwrite Significant amount of one Rom data into another. You can not do that without the results you have seen. The Data partition does not mean user data alone. Perhaps /data/media does represent that. Even then its fraught with risks.

Please review [APP][v2.4] Nandroid Manager this app will help you obtain what you are looking for. Also you may wish to restore the previous Rom, make a Titanium backup of user Apps and their data and then restore such a backup on the new Rom. Even this too should be done carefully.

Please post in Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if problems persist.

Hello,

I'm using Napster for a long time - and now I hope it will come soon for Fire TV. I've downloaded the napster.apk and installed it with sideload. The app works, but it's not usable with the Fire TV remote ... and I don't want to use a mouse and kayboard on my Fire TV. Do you have any news if Napster is coming for Fire TV?

I have a Metro PCS s4. I used Odin to upgrade to NH7 (T Mobile) and it looked like everything went well accept I get stuck at the T Mobile splash screen. I flashed once, passed, I'm stuck. I flashed twice (pulled battery after the first and flashed again), passed, I'm stuck.

If I boot into recovery it says I am on the NH7 bootloader.

Hello,

my Fire TV (German Version) lags some times, when I'm using the the catalog for looking the series and movies ... It freeze for a Moment and after that, the screen is not refreshing. When I'm use the up oder down keys on the remote I see the main category entrys and when i go into a main category - for example "Prime Movies", the gui is fine and I can use the firetv again ... the firmware is a little buggy, I think.

Anyone else here, with that problems?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
I always occasionally got menu glitches like invisible menus when something was already slid open and one time it got stuck where I couldn't navigate anymore because I kept getting sent back to the "Home" space.

The stock Fire TV launcher is really buggy.

I hate how the German version starts with the unrootable firmware.

My North American one runs quite smooth after some tweaks like "Forced GPU" that require root.

Maybe there'll eventually be a new exploit that works globally.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootmaker:
amazon should fix the issues and make a smooth and good working gui before they work on removing root access ...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saint Isaiah:
I've never had any issues flashing ROMs until I tried flashing one of the beta builds of the 4.4.4 Google edition ROM. The creator of the ROM has been having issues with WiFi and data not locking correctly and released an APN zip to possibly resolve the issue. Flashing that zip though, which I'm pretty sure changed the radio, resulted in the phone having connection issues on any ROM. I also noticed that the baseband version was changed from MDK to NC5, so long story short, I used ODIN to revert back to MDK bone stock, reverted back to to MD2 (I believe) to root, then back to MDK.

Here's where I'm a little stumped. I tried to use the ROM manager app to install CWM touch recovery and every time it would say it's successful, but booting into recovery would give me the stock android version, which we all know is pretty useless other than for stock updates and erasing data/cache. So the only way to get CWM recovery installed was to use terminal on the phone to do the Loki flash method. I'm a little out of touch, so can someone explain to me what exactly Loki is other than a "workaround" for the bootloader, how it applies to MDK for running AOSP ROMs without the "unauthorized software" message, and what, if any was the unlocking method for the MDK bootloader? It's been so long that I can't remember how I set everything up initially, and doing a search didn't yield any kind of guide for newbies or those out of touch like myself.

Thanks for taking the time to read and help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Loki is an exploit that allows the system to bypass bootloader checks and load custom software. If this happens again, restoring an EFS backup should fix your issue.

If you ever need to go back to stock MDK, you no longer need to do the downgrade to the prerelease MDL kernel. Just go to towelroot.com, install the towelroot apk, then hit the make it ra1n button. It's a new root method that came out a few months ago and works for a ton of devices. The easiest way to flash a compatible custom recovery for our device is to download Flashify from the play store and from there you can get the latest TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saint Isaiah:
Gotcha, seems pretty straightforward. Wasn't there an actual unlock method for the bootloader though? I remember getting my download mode to read as custom as well as the boot logo, I just can't remember how and it seems like all traces of how to do it vanished.

Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saint Isaiah:
Also, what in the world does it mean to "Loki" a ROM after installing it? Kinda confused there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
No, never an actual bootloader unlock, besides Dev editions that came unlocked. My download mode still says "install custom ROM" or whatever. There's no discernable difference to the end user between an unlocked bootloader and an exploit like the Loki bypass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saint Isaiah:
OK, and I'm assuming the reason why being on MDK is so important is because upgrading to ME7 patches the vulnerability that can allow the boot loader to be bypassed, forcing you to use safestrap, which results in no custom kernal being able to be used?

And my question above: what does it mean to install, then "Loki" a ROM in the install steps?

Thanks again, you're awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yes exactly, ME7 patched it.

If you flash a TW ROM not built specifically for our device, The ROM (depending on kernel you flashed or if the ROM includes a kernel) may not have the files included to boot on a device with the Loki specific bypass. So you need to flash the " Loki doki zip " after the ROM and before initial boot. You can find the file on Google.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saint Isaiah:
Awesome, thanks Josh! This might make a great sticky for the "what is Loki?" newvies and explaining the importance of MDK for those still on it and not sure why.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealJudgeD:
Hey all, so I'm new to the XDA forums but I'm not new to flashing/rooting. I was recently trying to unlock my wifes RAZR M and ran into an issue I've never seen and haven't been able to find searching online: I was able to root and unlock the device using towelroot and Motopocalypse but kept having problems getting the device to install a recovery. I figured I'd leave it as such, I was really only rooting so I could enable her wifi tethering anyway...

Today, while copying the build.prop file over for the entitlement check hack the phone, while at 30% battery, randomly shut down. I had renamed the VZW entitlement files (apk and I forget the other file type) to .bak and copied the modified build.prop over, but I hadn't backed out of Root Explorer and rebooted yet. Now, I cannot get the phone to boot past the "Bootloader Unlocked" screen. It will go to AP Fastboot, but Matt's Toolkit won't work. It says -

bootloader Varible not supported!

target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes

Invalid sparse file format at header magi

There is then multiple lines, such as:

error: write_sparse_skip_chunk: don't care size 818083276 is not a multiple of the block size 4096

it then states at the end that I may want to also flash the stock recovery. But I'm unable to.

Not other options work when manually putting the phone in the boot mode selection menu. All other options bring up the Bootloader Unlocked screen and then black screens.

Do I have any viable options for bringing the phone back to a usable state? I'm fine with wiping the device clean, but I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Thanks in advance.

My charger indicates AC110~220V so i think its just fine right?

You might be better off using a Charger Correctly suited for the Phone. Otherwise there is a risk of degrading battery quality. The given charger is indeed suitable for 110 V as its rated.

Have you had any issues with the signal when on 3G/LTE/WiFi/BT? That is the only other area I can say I am concerned. I have an SGS3 fight now and the lack of LTE support is killing me. Well that and how crushingly slow it can be to multitask at times, it is actually struggling with XDA right now lol

I guess with all hardware there are risks associated, I had a perfect S3 but I know of people who have had dead motherboards and a line down their camera so it is not uncommon with a £500 flagship to have glaring defects.

I bought mine mid august and it definitely still has a slight yellow band at the bottom. But it does not annoy me at all. You can only see it when the screen is white and even then it looks like an effect of the application rather than something wrong with the screen. When the screen is any other colour, you can't see it at all.

If this is your only reason for not buying it, then you should get it now. It's a non-issue for me (and most other people I think).

Good decision. I also went from an S3 to a OPO just last week. Other than the size, which is borderline for me, it smashes the S3 out of the park.
