PDAVIET

Thanks for this! It is great...

Which release of PDAVIET did you test: 2.00.02PV or 2.00.03PV?

Cheers,

-Ireneus

Subjective comparisons?

Hmm although the times are very interesting in that there is any variance at all.... isn't the difference so minor as to be unimportant? After all this is the same core OS image on the same device but with minor registry tweaks to the glyph cache and things like that.

Isn't a more important comparison of whether the overall package works nicely? i.e. with the "out of the box" install does it lock up? does it feel sluggish running apps/opening the phone? does it maintain a good data connection? are the skins/icons/applications an improvement on vanilla? does the "phone connection status icon" draw properly?

I would retell my experiences of lockups with two of the WM6 images and the Helmi vs Ivan 3.5s.... but it seems they were related to the 1.14 radio update I did at the same time! Going back to 1.10 and everythings working well (with midget). So I need to re-evaluate my experiences of the roms now, when I'm in the mood for a re-flashing session.

Not saying this isn't a great comparison (I think it is), I think it's more interesting that it shows there's no significant difference between them and that the choice should be made on the elegance of the overall package.

just my 2c.

Cheers,

Ivor.

It states this in the review. Page 2 of this thread.

Well, I have been running Helmi's for ages now, so between Midgets and Indras, I have installed Indras.

The PDAVIET has no real advantage, and has no MMS, so why bother with it?

Indras has the most optimised memory also, after a few hours of use, while running push mail, ilauncher, and pocketbreeze, I was dropping to 12/13mb on helmis, but now I am at about 17

Dear Alan

can u tell me which thread contains the Indra ROM u chose to upgrade to..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
There isn't a thread here, nor will I post or pm links.

www.google.com may or may not help though.

So who else is using the Indra ROM other than AlanJC...no mention of it in any of these forums as far as I've searched...haven't seen anyone else write about it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cachep2004:
Which's The Best Rom ???

Indra Rom

PDAVIET 2.00.02 PV Rom

PDAVIET2.00.03 PV Rom

Midget's ROM

4 Rom ! I don't know which's the best rom now and chose choose it ?

Thanks so much who made it !!! Bravo !!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
Well Indra is using it lol.

I can only assume he's working on a newer version, and doesn't want too many people using this version just yet.

Who knows.

Registry comparison

The attached file contains a comparison of the registries of the different WM6 ROMS I can find: Vijay, Midget, Infidel and Indra.

Interesting to see what tweaks are made in each.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tom_codon:
pdaviet 2.00.02 :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] hizad:
Tom_codon

What is the difference of your version 4
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ivorh:
Diffs

For the sake of completeness:-

vijay-vs-pdaviet4 registry comparison attached.

And... curious as to what gets tweaked between these ROMS apart from the registry I compared two ROM images.

The only file differences (binary file comparison of the two windows directories) between "Indra WM6" and "PDAViet4" are:-

Filename - Indra size - PDAViet4 size
AddRingtone.exe - 28536 - 188280
ButtonLock.exe - 16440 - 175672
Camera.exe - 799088 - 957296
CloseApps.exe - 5632 - 166912
CommandModel1.bin - 500000 - 500000 (binary difference)
CommManager.exe - 921464 - 921976
Memory.exe - 14240 - 14240 (binary diff)
MicrophoneAGC.exe - 29072 - 29072 (bin diff)
WModem.exe - 61944 - 99320

(PDAViet also has PNotepad, WM5NewMenu, psShutXP added and PPCContactsMgr added)

(Indra has BTMouse and BTSim added)

Now I'm curious... why are the PDAVIET files soo much bigger?

Also.. the files that differ have HTC certificates in the Indra ROM, but not in the PDAViet ROM. I guess these files have been modified in some way whereas the Indra is just vanilla HTC images. Looking at the apps the Indra files have 16colour icons wheras the PDAViet files have been changed to use Vista-ish high colour icons. A brief binary comparison of the files appears to confirm this.

The only other curiosity is that the original vijay image had Camera version 3.02 whereas all the other released images are on 3.00.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bam099:
I just received 2 of my Note 4's yesterday for my family plan. Both of us can confirm spotty service and slow download speeds to the point that many apps were saying check your internet connection. I was using the Note 3 in the exact same locations yesterday and had no issues. Anyone else noticing this? Maybe a software update is needed

I have not received (and will not now that it's rooted) the new Samsung update and I don't believe T-Mobile has rolled anything out yet. The phone is spectacular though.....it sounds crazy but I can actually see a difference in the Note 4 and Note 3 screens. The 4 is easier on my eyes. Sorry to get off topic!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HtcOnekid:
The first few hours I was experiencing slow download speed from the Playstore so I decided to download everything via wifi left it there charging came back did a few test and it seems back to normal speed.

About the screen is not much of a difference in my opinion but there is a difference especially when reading online.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] atlprettygirl2145:
I am also having slow speeds I have pretty much done everything I have talked to tmobile I have switched out sim cards I have reset the phone I also have reset the apns, what I have realized is that it works well in 4g and not to well in 4g lte
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
You sure you didn't get throttled?

NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] alhadee12:
I have experienced some slow speeds also and lag as well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] atlblair:
atlprettygirl2145 I'm having the exact same issue as u described. 4g works just fine but 4g lte is a no go. I'm also located in Atlanta.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bam099:
Definitely not throttled.....it's the phone. I also noticed the lag but i was hoping it was just me. It's good that we are all noticing because that means they need a fix but it's bad becsuse, well, they really need a fix.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
Picking mine up tomorrow at 9 will report back

NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sic_lic1o1:
I'm opposite from you guys. My new note 4 has better reception and faster internet than my note 3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] adorkablejuliep:
Oh man, hope it's not the case with my note 4. My s5 gets the best reception I've had with any phone but I want a bigger screen. Should find out tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dtronx:
Someone said there was an update already out for the new note 4. I saw it a couple threads back
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bam099:
I am crossing my fingers for all of you guys!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Compusmurf:
First 4-5 hours after setting up while it was syncing, d/l everything, configuring the new sim, etc, the whole works was a bit slow, but the 2nd day, it's been much better than my note 3. I'm happy so far. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] randpost:
Getting better Wifi and LTE speeds then my S5 and OnePlus One. Getting better SD card trasfer speeds too.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mr pnut:
Are you guys using the new micro sim card that came with the phone
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Compusmurf:
I am. Figured they included it for a reason. I probably don't know any better.

Home WiFi AC @5ghz is consistent with my prior speeds with the note3.

4G LTE speeds also consistent with my area coverage. Fastest 2 were done outdoors while the other 2 were done indoors.

Apparently no problems here with WiFi and LTE. I'm using the new sim card that came in the box and did nothing with apn settings.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] edboy21:
I'm getting better signal, but very slow data speeds! Worst than my non-lte s3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TheMightiest1981:
I can also confirm that Atlanta is having serious lte issues. I drove for 10 miles without lte in areas that just days ago were were blazing with lte. Talked to tmobile, and it seems like it got significantly worse. Looks like magenta may be regressing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Esteef:
Changed my Sim card today. No speed increase . Has anyone reached out to tmobile yet about this? This could potentially be a big problem . I don't like how I traded in my LG G2 for a phone that can attain less than half of the speed of my old phone. This device is not cheap.

-Esteef
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Juk3s:
^^ I changed my sim card as well and nothing changed. I still get like bursts of speed when I'm at work, and then most of the time it's 1-5mb. Which is horrid.

Think I might just return my phone until I heard some better news on this. If it's just a bad batch of phones then maybe I can just trade it in for a new one. Idk I got a week to decide though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Esteef:
I'm in that same boat. About 8 days left. I don't want to get a Z3 or a G3

-Esteef
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Esteef:
This is what I'm experiencing on the Note 4. Everything is slow even though my signal strength is at full bars. Even the reddit is fun app and tapatalk app take long to load or don't load at all. It's maddening. I play clash of clans too which requires an active connection and the connection just drops often. I played this game on my LG G2 just all last month and that never happened.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Juk3s:
Ya idk. Earlier this morning I was getting decent 5-10mb. Since 15 minutes ago I'm barely getting 1-2mb.

Frustrating.

Oh and all this with 3 bars. Not like I'm dropping complete signal.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hackynonsense:
I assume everyone is using speedtest.net? Have you guys tried changing the server it's using? It doesn't always choose the best (or even the same) one on its own. You can get wildly different results depending on what server it uses.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Juk3s:
I have the Data Monitor app, has a little tab always on the right top of screen showing my U/D.

And speed.test I have changed it plenty of times. Yesterday was weird. It only showed like 5 different locations and they were all over the US. FL, CA, ect. Had me linked to the one in FL for some reason. Restarted and it was back to normal.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mariojp:
Maaaaan, I traded in my note 3 and definitely notice the speed decrease. I went from 20Mbps to 5Mbps download.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

I download injustice as a test download to check speeds. On my note 3, I was getting 20+ Mbps down. On the note 4 I got today, I only getting 5Mbps max.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] obarcelo:
Hello,

I brought this up to T-Mobile's twitter handle, with a link to this thread. They replied asking for more information as they were not aware of the issue. I'd recommend sending them a tweet to [MENTION=259357]Tmobile[/MENTION]Help. Maybe we can get a fix for this soon. The more people the better.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] obarcelo:
Looks like they will look into the issue and possibly contact Samsung regarding a software update to fix the issue.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] louforgiveno:
My speeds are as good as my note 3, just putting that out there. ...this thread really had me thinking twice, but my experience has been positive
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jamboxboy:
I live in Portland Oregon and always had great reception on a note 3 and s5. 20-25 on both. Note 4 gets about 10-15 in most areas. My problem is my phone constantly switches between lte and 4g. Even though I'll have 5 bars lte. Sometimes though the 4g speed is faster then lte. Makes me think there's gotta be something wrong. Just tested it on vacation in austin texas with the same results. Still a great phone though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] louforgiveno:
Weird. ..i know that in the last 3 weeks in the bay area service has been strange, maybe they are doing some nation wide update idk...but the last few days have been normal and i just got my note 4 and I'm seeing typical speeds like my N3
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mariojp:
Playstore vs other sources downloads

It's so weird. When i run the speedtest app, i get the speeds i was previously getting on my Note 3 (25Mbps), but if i download anything from the playstore, i'm only getting 500 KB max for download. I tried a download from a file from my dropbox using the Dolphin browser (It shows you the download speed) and it downloads at my normal 25 Mbps speed. It seems to be only an issue with the playstore downloads where im only getting 500 KB max. Anyone else able to test this? By the way, my wifi speeds are OK

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

So I was in HB today and was getting 30-35mb with 5 bars.

Back at my house in Orange though I'm only getting 6-8mb inside. Guess just my area is bad. But I swear my iPhone was better in Orange than this right now.

Still undecided on if to return it.

The phone has definitely been more stable, but the play store seems slower than note 3. The phone is great hut the speeds just don't seem to be the super fast speeds I am used to.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
The Play Store seems to be slow for everyone. I get good speeds on everyone but that. Don't judge your speed on that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Karcus:
I was also frustrated with the speed. Then after I rooted, my speeds jumped back to normal if not faster. Anyone else with poor performance, rooted?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] melcali:
Reading these note 4 forums past few days to get a good idea on what I should look out for when my note arrives in a couple if days. Tmobile network has been strange lately.

On my moto x, I was struggling to stream Pandora but I was in a strong LTE area where I got full signal. It has been really inconsistent lately. I'm wondering if all if these new iphones and note 4's are putting a strain on the network
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] keitht:
It is definitely bouncy especially during morning and afternoon rush hour times.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bitbang3r:
I'm not sure about T-Mobile outside South Florida, but it seems like their Miami-area LTE was basically inherited from MetroPCS & poorly stapled onto their HSPA+ network with all the grace and finesse of Sprint + Clear Wimax three years ago.

Specifically, hand-offs between LTE and HSPA seem to be neither seamless nor graceful. It looks like the phone will connect to a LTE tower, then do everything it can to keep using that one specific tower until it literally can't make out its transmissions anymore. Then, it'll switch to a different tower that's probably 300 feet away, and start working about 5-10 seconds later. Likewise, their LTE-vs-HSPA selection logic seems to be completely borked, with the phone bending over backwards to use LTE whenever it possibly can, even to its detriment.

With LTE disabled, I get 2-10mbps pretty consistently while driving around, with minimal connection-dropping. With LTE enabled, Youtube becomes almost completely unusable, especially on freeways when I'm driving 60mph or faster. It's like it takes so long to commit to connecting to a different tower, then actually connecting, that by the time it's done I'm already out of the tower's range. In contrast, HSPA handoffs seem to be more or less instantaneous.

I'm not sure whether AT&T's lower frequency and greater range just minimized the pain by increasing the usable range of each tower, or whether they genuinely did a better job of intelligently doing hand-offs between HSPA and LTE, but I'm definitely not impressed by T-Mo's LTE right now. On the other hand, disabling LTE doesn't seem like a big deal, because T-Mo's HSPA in South Florida seems to be significantly faster than AT&T has been -- LTE, HSPA, or otherwise -- for at least the past 6-9 months (it seems like AT&T nosedived around Christmas, and never got any better).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] cdejesus1119:
Spoke with a tmobile manager from Texas call center. She says she has 50 tickets open in the South Florida area and they are aware of a problem. They are working on it. This was red flagged and made into a known area problem on Oct. 22. My suspicions were correct, this is not a phone issue but a network problem.

T-Mobile seems to be working just fine for me outside work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Esteef:
I'm sorry but this made me chuckle. What are you doing driving 60 MPH and watching youtube lol. (I know it can be a song not a video)

However, I switched from the LG G2 to the NOTE 4 and the data speeds are night and day. I hate to mention it repeatedly but someone who depends on their phone for everything (Work, School, Personal, Banking, Etc) it's pretty annoying.

At this very moment in South, FL (Miami Area) T-mobile data service is down. I can only make calls or texts nothing else. Hopefully they are re-booting the network or such.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Pedro2NR:
I have noticed this as well in my office. Before my Note 4, I would get 4G (not LTE) in certain spots of my office and the rest just Edge. Now with the Note 4, it is Edge everywhere.

I like the Nexus because it's different and I've never had one plus always the first to get a update. No sd slot and no removable battery doesn't bother me. I never used my spen with my Note 2. As far as a 6in phone being to big to carry in shorts in the summer well its winter here. LoL. Really the Nexus 6 isn't that much bigger then the Note 4. It's kind of funny how some Note 4 peeps are saying it blows away the G3 and Nexus 6 etc. I don't see that. Not saying you. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those phones. Maybe I'll change my mind and keep the Note 4. Who knows with me. I have another Jump in Jan. LoL

the nexus 6 is not for u if u like to take a lot of pictures and make 4k videos and slow motion videos..my previous phone before the g3 was the red nexus 5 and i hated it but loved the color..i live in miami and having a thick, heavy phone in ur short pants will suck..even on jeans too..i will probably get a nexus when they decide to implement a micro card slot in their phones
