[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
Your guess is correct, mfastboot allows you to flash larger system.img's that wont otherwise flash in fastboot.

As for sources... I have no idea who created mfastboot or where it came from. It's just one of those things that get's passed around the internet.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diordnAMRZAR:
Well I'm happy to have the utility that works. Can thank you enough -- or the creators. Found it also on goggle code after a properly crafted search string. All this for an in-call audio problem that only worsened after I took the phone apart. Still works on speaker mode though so that's good enough -- at low volume. And I learned a few things. One interesting thing: The shell prompt got rewritten to say ${USER}@scorpion_mini/ after flashing the system.img. Pretty sure it only said android prior to re-flashing . And the getprop helper app is a new thing for me.

Feel like a kid all over again exploring this little device.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
Hello. Just wanted to share how I was able to fix my GPS finally on sense 6 based roms. I have been able to get agps locks but navigation and on board GPS have been unusable for almost three months now on stock sense 6 and other roms like viper and nusensesix.

100% figured out my GPS issues after 3 months of turmoil. Had to ruu, then factory reset with stock recovery. I then logged into my Google account and used the stock Rom for a day, enabling high accuracy in location settings and using navigation for the whole day. Nav started working pretty well after about an hour. Later in the day I was able to flash a new Rom and navigation has remained solid ever since. I am now able to use all of the the big three sense kernels without issue.

I can't even tell you how many paths I've gone down (topntp, messing with every setting on the phone, touching every kernel and Rom possible. Wipe this wipe that, GPS status, pulling the SIM card. So relieved to have this solved.)

This may seem like common sense to try but I have been floundering to find a fix. Hope this helps someone.

Honestly, one more thing seems to help. I swear it really helps when I turn off wifi optimization. Using GPS Status, the signal indicator looks much stronger overall while navigation is in use. Cant back this up at all but Im rolling disabled and things are much better overall even after the factory reset. Could be coincidence, but maybe it has an affect on overall power consumption?

Peace.

Edit #2. Fyi. Since the Nov 4 HTC service pack update I get insanely good GPS performance with no tweaking at all. Locks indoors now in 10-15 seconds. Maybe this whole issue was a service pack thing.

This is probably not the correct forum to ash in since its not an HTC, but there are a bunch of skilled people here, so mabye one or two might know. Is it possible to unlock a Cingular Option GT MAX?

Since my HTC Herald doesnt have 3G i was thinking of buying a 3G card for my laptop. I have found Cingular branded GT MAX cards on Ebay for as low as 50$, and thats alot cheaper than the 330$ my local shop is asking for a unbranded GT MAX:P

On another note:

You said and i quote:

To me this sounds like a faulty charger, As it should not be coming up as a Media Device.

If your plugged into a PC and its a low Voltage USB, It take take forever and a day to charge the Note3

My work machine has some naff USB ports, and it about breaks even to the usage to charging with the Screen turned up.

Ditch the USB lead you have and use the Official lead by Samsung and the charger.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovekeiiy:
I remember before the phone was released, someone claimed to have it working. It was in some thread, I think, I the original development t area.

Another option, you could use WiFi Tether Router. I know it's expensive at around $3.50, actually a little less, but the developer does keep active in keeping it updated and does bug fixes. It's a little slower loading up than native hotspot, but I haven't had issues with the Note 2 once I figured out the settings it needed.

I installed it twice cause it wasnt sticking at reboots on first install of native hotspot.

[Motorola Droid 4] rattymon:
the motorola milestone was my favourite phone. the retro sci fi looks and awesome keyboard really did it for me. I then decided to upgrade to a more powerful modern phone but because I am in the UK choices were limited. the htc z was not really a big enough leap forward so I tried the latest BB Bold with touch screen and physical keyboard. it lasted 2 weeks and I sold it. There were no other physical keyboard phones out in the UK that were modern specs so I decided to give up and buy a Samsung galaxy note, and then a note 2 which I currently use.

the trouble is I suck at typing on a screen, I NEED a physical keyboard back and have been searching for options. I have settled for two potential sliders, the droid 4 and the samsung relay s t699.

the droid 4 is cheaper for me to find at about £50 or £60 delivered to the UK from the states while the relay is at least twice the price. due to this and my previous love for the OG droid (even with that locked bootloader) I am looking into the droid 4 first.

do you think the downgrade from the note 2 to the droid 4 is gonna be a steep one? I cant look or hold one in person to know because we cant buy them here. I dont mind a bit of a downgrade though because I really want a physical keyboard. I was hoping with a decent rom and other tweaks I could get the most out of a droid 4 and be happy. can some current droid users give me some honest opinions on how they are holding up towards the end of 2014?

many thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] mo0n_sniper:
I can say that I'm really happy with the keyboard of the droid 4. The fact that it a full QWERTY keyboard makes typing quite easy on the phone. You can also install my Hacker keyboard for enabling the rest of the keys.

Performance wise there are still some, and I stress, SMALL issues here and there but nothing serious. I'm using Cyanogen Mod and it works way better than the stock ROM but there are still some small bugs. For example GPS is not working for me, but I haven't really investigated the issue so maybe is fixable, or I did something wrong.

The good thing is that the SafeStrap recovery used for droid is really nice and you can also keep the stock Rom.

So if you want you can choose to boot the stock ROM.

Overall I'm satisfied with the phone and I would recommend you to buy one.

If you have any questions I would be happy to help
[Motorola Droid 4] rattymon:
many thanks for your reply :)

can I ask, how bad is the screen? consider I would be coming from a Note 2. A lot of reviews mention ghosting of text when dark text is displayed on light backgrounds. How bad is it? Do custom roms make any difference?
[Motorola Droid 4] mo0n_sniper:
I don't have any issues with the screen, but to be honest I haven't given a close attention regarding what you said.

Hi mo0n_sniper,

I've just got a Droid 4, and I'd like to use CM11 too. Do you (or most people) use the official rom from the cyanogenmod site, or use one of the roms posted in the android development section on here?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] mo0n_sniper:
Hi moodroid,

I use the one from the Cyanogen Mod site.

You can follow this howto: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_maserati
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
i like the droid 4 a lot and the keyboard is insanely comfortable compared to droid 3. performance wise id say its a capable phone but if you wanna do higher end gaming on android then its gonna struggle. cm11 has been great to me and GPS works just fine and i dont have any problems with the screen.. honestly i dont ever want to go back to stock or previous versions of android because of how comfortable 4.4 is

you can get the latest builds from the official cyanogenmod site because thats where theyre pushing all the updates

one thing thats a big negative (at least for me) is that droid 4 cant use LTE outside of the US (or verizon) so youll only have 3g.

a secondary negative is battery life but you can have workarounds for that and both of these cons depend on how you intend to use the device
[Motorola Droid 4] rattymon:
Thanks for your replies. My DROID 4 arrived today and we'll the screen might take some getting used to but I look forward to rooting and flashing a rom tonight!

Any reccomendations for custom ROMs?
[Motorola Droid 4] Elanzer:
Slimkat or latest official CM11 snapshot. I personally use Slimkat with Apex launcher for the low memory usage.

CM12 is close to DD-able, but it has a few bugs and lollipop doesn't bring our phone much over the 4.4.4 roms with ART enabled.
[Motorola Droid 4] rattymon:
Well I finally got my phone rooted and custom ROM flashed so thanks a bunch fellas!

I rooted following this guy's video [Root] Droid 4 (XT894) Jellybean with SafeRoot as [MENTION=3144750]mo0n_sniper[/MENTION] 's link to the cyanogenmod site was bit too much for the brain at the moment, need to learn all the new lingo!

I managed to install [cm-11-20141207-NIGHTLY-maserati] and it seems to be working great! I installed it into the stock-rom slot as I read that it was ok as long as I had a recent version of safestrap. I do have a query though. I come from the Note 2 where there was no such thing as safestrap and having multiple slots for roms. I always overwrote the stock rom and never had an issue. Now on safestrap it appears as though the stock rom slot is not using all of the memory available on the device. I don't want to be able to install multiple roms at once, I would like to use the device to it's full potential, utilising all available memory. What is the best way to do this? Or am I already doing it? What do those partition sizes actually mean? If someone could be kind enough to drop some knowledge that would be awesome!

As I am in the UK I also used [cdma_to_gsm_patch_for_verizon_phones_v3.3_by_mentor] and that let me use my network just fine.

Oh and just incase any other newbies are interested, for GAPPS I used [pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20141207-signed] and it works great, just the bare minimum google stuff.

P.S. [MENTION=3144750]mo0n_sniper[/MENTION] thank you for your hacker keyboard, I have that running. Can I ask, is there a way to do an exclamation mark without moving both my thumbs over to the left side of the keyboard to hold [shift] and [1]?

Thank you guys, it feels so good to be back on a solid keyboard!

8.10 is the latest. ART is a new compiler for Android, basically enabling it makes programs load faster as everything is pre-compiled instead of compiled-at-run. It's enabled by default on Android 5.0, but you can turn it on in developer options in 4.4.

Rattymon if u change Safestrap to BootMenu Manager (and Patch it) you can use Cyan11 on unused partitions (like /webtop) and you save a lot of memory (on /sdcard)

[Motorola Droid 4] BFG9000D:
Do any of you have any problems with the screen?

I bough a D4 from ebay, but the screen on it is just awfull, even compared to my crapiest phones.

I have a very bad ghosting effect. Is there any way to make it better?

Oh and BTW, right now Im using CM12, working great. :D
[Motorola Droid 4] Elanzer:
Nah, the screen is naturally crappy like that and there's no way to fix it. Almost all reviewers of the Droid 4 remarked on it's poor screen. I've ordered a Motorola Photon Q with modded sim slot to replace my Droid 4, since it seems like there isn't going to be any Droid 5 anytime soon..
[Motorola Droid 4] BFG9000D:
When you have both phones, can you compare the screens and the bulkiness of each one and tell me if the upgrade is worth it?

I have a kinda broken milestone 1 and its build quality is way better, and also it doesnt feel that heavy on my pocket.
[Motorola Droid 4] Elanzer:
Sure. It's going to be a month or so before I get the Photon Q though, as it's getting mailed from the seller in USA to czech republic for modding then to canada to me. Their form factors are almost the same, the things that will make the upgrade worth it are reduced bezel on the display and the CPU/GPU in the Photon Q is nearly twice as fast. A sim modded photon Q is also definitely more "region free" than a Droid 4 in the sense that you can use it on any american provider as well. When I go down to the US I can't actually use my Droid 4 at all because the roaming is not linked to Verizon, so I get forced to bring another device with me.

They will both be bricks with a case on them, but that's the cost of having a nice keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 4] Elanzer:
Just got my Photon Q modded by CornholioGSM for the SIM slot. He did an excellent job and the slot actually looks like it came from the factory.

For the most part I agree with this guy who's also done a comparison between the Droid 4 and Photon Q: http://xdaforums.com/photon-q-4g-lte/general/photon-q-vs-droid-4-mini-review-t2991956

Build quality is far better on the Photon Q. Buttons feel better and general feel in hand is better. The slider kind of springs all the way open after you've opened it half way which feels nicer than the Droid 4 that requires you to push it all the way. The screen is -a lot- better and doesn't have that noticeable ghosting that the Droid 4 has. The software buttons take up some of the screen space vs hardware on the Droid 4, but in full-screened applications (ie: movie players) the buttons are hidden so you can utilize the 0.3in larger screen, although resolution of the 2 phones is the same 960x540. I also noticed that the Photon Q has pocket detection, I've never seen my Droid 4 instantly turn on the moment I pulled it out of my pocket, but this may be a CarbonROM function on my Photon Q.

Performance difference is night and day. Boot time is roughly 1/3 of the Droid 4. Everything opens quite fast and multitasking is easy. Skype in particular took anywhere from 2-3 seconds to load the interface, while on Photon Q it's less than a second. Camera opens instantly on Photon Q instead of waiting 2-3 seconds like Droid 4. For some reason, the camera has always been very slow for me on the Droid 4 regardless of what ROM I'm using. Quality of pictures is better also, seems easier to get a focused picture.

Ran a few benchmarks..

Droid 4 (Lucize JBX kernel, Slimkat 4.4.4 ART):

Antutu (5.6.1)

Stock (1.2GHz CPU, 307MHz GPU): 14776

Overclocked (1.4GHz CPU, 384MHz GPU: 18296

Geekbench

Stock: 342 single / 636 multi

Overclocked: 394 single / 737 multi

Photon Q 4G (arrrghhh kernel, CarbonROM 4.4.4 ART)

Antutu (5.6.1)

Stock (1.5GHz CPU, 400MHz GPU): 19122

Overclocked (2.0GHz CPU, 480MHz GPU): 21130

Geekbench

Stock: 495 single / 792 multi

Overclocked: 521 single / 832 multi

On Antutu, Photon Q has roughly 50% faster CPU scores, and 100% faster GPU scores. For whatever reason, Photon Q does not gain much from overclocking, while Droid 4 gets a good boost. The storage score is also 50% less than the Droid 4, but since Photon Q has only 8gb internal storage you will probably put most things on SD.. this would be why the Antutu scores are so close, individual scores show the Photon Q is much faster.

It's a shame Motorola never properly marketed either phone to a global audience. Droid 4 being stuck on Verizon in US, and Photon Q being stuck on Sprint (unless modded). Photon Q has almost no value, mine was $70 brand new but I have seen them for $20... which is quite funny because it has the same chipset as the US Galaxy S3 that still sells for about $150 on ebay for some reason.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
after struggling to find a fully functional droid 4 from ebay again i considered a photon Q only to learn that its impossible to use it on verizon so droid 4 is the only option for me because im not giving up the unlimited data

everything looks nice except the lack of hardware keys on the screen so pretty jealous.

im assuming the photon q only has 3g outside of sprint like the droid 4 outside of verizon?
[Motorola Droid 4] Elanzer:
Unfortunately, the Photon Q has a Sprint sim hard-soldered to the board, it doesn't even have a sim slot out of the box, so you can't use the phone at all in any other country unless it's roaming from Sprint.

There is a modification you can do to the phone (or have someone else to do it, CornholioGSM did mine for a 70 euro donation) that consists of removing the sprint-sim and installing a sim slot on the board. The Photon Q with sim mod is completely unlocked and the photon Q also has an unlockable bootloader unlike the Droid 4. It should work on Verizon as it supports all the same CDMA/GSM bands as the Droid 4, however you won't get LTE because the photon Q uses an incompatible band.
[Motorola Droid 4] mirddes:
this thread makes me want to go through the hassle of adopting a photon.

the number 1 slider phone, even with the hassle of adoption.

Premodded on ebay for $260NZ with optionally coloured kb backlight (DIFFERENT colour PER line)

Ultimately that's what I've spent on my droid4 with mugen and 64GB microsd. Its tempting to lust for it if something better doesn't get announced in the next few years (but without mugen, whats the point?).

Am I correct in asuming keyboard is identical to the one found in the droid 4?

8GB ram, 3ghz 8core, microsdxc, 3840x2160 5-6" screen and a removable battery would make an amazing slider. ALMOST THE SAME KEYBOARD with alt and ctrl please, 77 buttons seems a fair budget, onscreen keys always suck
