Well that's good to know my crap area is mid state Wisconsin I'm lucky if I get 1X at the cabin so bad I'm on a network extender as we speak. I can actually go up on my roof and pull 4G at times. I tried a booster with antenna and whole nine yards 4G worked great. Problem is we use extended network 3G by US Cell which is why I only get 1X. I'm just in a low dead spot in the woods lol. When Volte gets it together I might have a chance with the antenna booster. Funny thing my old Droid Maxx got Volte so thought I'd give it a try just because I could couldn't talk to anyone anyway. Another problem when I did hook up to US Cell 3G the people on the other end couldn't here me. I couldn't just turn it off I had to have Verizon remove it on there end. So if the Note gets it I won't be able to use it anyway. So after all that I'm on Definitive also think I'll give beanstalk a try

Used it on my Note 2 Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
Yeah it's definitely worth a shot at least. Just backup definitive and wipe it and install bean..if you don't like it just restore.. Remember no TiBackup crossing from TW to CM if you use that..I do but just for uninstalling unwanted system apps not backing up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
Where is the ROM in the T Mobile thread I know I saw it somewhere before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Sokudoningyou:
Yeah, that's why we're on Verizon too. Even just a half hour north of Milwaukee, T-Mobile isn't always the best. And when dad wanted a prepaid phone, there was literally a hole over in SW Wisconsin for T-Mobile's map. US Cellular is only good if you never leave the state. So, have to say it, my DE Note 4 on Verizon gets great network signal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
Its not Mod's Tmo Beanstalk, its his port for the DE's in Verizon General under Unofficial CM12. Do so searching its like 9 pages in..it'll be a download for a 2/2 build..that's the first one with LTE out of the box...we've been having a problem getting LTE at boot with all after that, but you can dirty flash later builds over that initial...oh and MMS requires you to fix one spot in APN ..use the search box and you'll find it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GreenGoblin227:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
I've had a lot of phones to many to mention signal wise the Note4 is the best android phone I have had even better than the mighty Nexus 6 I have both.

Thanks will do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
Ugh...not good as my area sucks even with Verizon and I just (finally) ordered my Nexus..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
Hey don't get me wrong the Nexus is a close 2nd but the Note is better grabs and holds on to 4G better in the fringe areas the Note is always the Nexus you have to force sometimes I use that LTE recovery app all it does is turns radios on and off. Also some times the Nexus gets a brain fart it just won't grab any signal I thought it was the phone So I got a replacement same thing. They sent a brand new phone in the box. Remember where I'm at though in the woods nearest town is 6 miles and not a big one which is the closest 4G tower.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
Maybe I'll be alright.. I get 2 bars of LTE in my house with my Note 4 on Beanstalk but on TW I get 1 or full of 3G.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
You'll be OK.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] eighty1:
I've put my Verizon account on suspension a few times in attempts to solely use T-Mo. In my city its great its just the few times I travel on the road or visit my parents and my daughter that it gets to me. My parents are in West Virginia where T-Mo roams on AT&T and only allows 50MB of data when using their towers and South Dakota where my daughter lives doesn't really exist. So that sucks and then makes me think, is it worth paying $80 for T-Mo when its not always reliable on a road trip and non-existent in certain states I go, or pay $90 including 20% discount and stay on locked VZW. First world problems LOL. I think my biggest regret would be to stick with T-Mo and 2-3 years later its the same situation coverage wise. In the end I can see myself getting the Dev Ed and waiting on T-Mo coverage to get better over the years. I don't see their unlimited going anywhere and doubt the price increases over the year.

On another note I see you're getting the Nexus 6. Do you plan to keep both? I currently have one and trying to decide if I want to keep both. The Nexus 6 quenches my thirst in the meantime for having freedom on Verizon, but its nice to use the Note 4 and use a modded touchwiz Rom as a change up.

Yeah, Im surprised there isn't a thread on what ROMS work and what doesn't with the time the Dev Ed has been out. Anyone try Dynamic Kat? Anyone that has a Dev Ed mind posting what they're using or have had success flashing? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
To answer the Nexus question, I'm a self proclaimed flashaholic and owning a Nexus gives me the options I want..I love my Note(wish it was white) but I'm getting antsy.lol I'll keep both until I make a decision or my girl makes me sell..she gets crazy when she knows I have multiple phones...she should be happy I don't have multiple girls as my hobby instead of phones!! Lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] eighty1:
"Multiple girls as a hobby". Hahaha! My defining decision in getting the T-Mo Note was having the ability to flash TW or AOSP ROMS. With my Nexus its nice to be able to flash something everyday but it became groundhogs day with every ROM being so similar. If Verizon is the only option for service, then I completely understand your need for a Nexus to get your fix. The Nexus isn't so much that its big its just a little wider than the Note 4 but still feels good with the rounded back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
Lol I'm the same that's why I have both lots of ROMs on the 6. Don't know if this is a solution or not but I got married now I get no complaints about multiple phones Haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
Yeah I like flashing and having a big screen..I went from a Note 3 & 4 on T-Mobile and when I moved grabbed a Nexus 5 for the LTE bands but it was spotty out here on AT&T so after *****ing and crying I buckled and got Verizon.. Went through a few phones until I could get a DE but now I miss flashing every day. Funny I was at a bar the other day and I got to make fun of a guy with an iPoop 6 plus for having a larger & more expensive than me but with a tiny and only 1080p screen...I also pointed out his beloved iPhone 6+ was bent...even though in a OtterBox Defender.lmfao

Yeah we're getting married next month...or she's leaving me when a killer whale comes swimming into the mailbox in a couple days. Oh I can see and hear her now!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
FireKat is great...that plus a bunch of xposed mods and this device is rocking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Ragnell:
Alright, I just got my Note 4 DE, I'm ready to rom it up, from what I've been reading T-Mo roms are compatible with VZN DE?

Also After the setup, is there anything to do, i saw something about backing up some files and such
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
The only Tmo ROM that definitely works on the Vzw DE out ofbthe box as far as i know is FireKat and that was specifically modified form our baseband by the developer. You might be able to use others but you will likely need a different kernel...and even then, who knows.

For FireKat the Vzw build is in post #3 of that thread (scroll way down). The dev has been awesome but has stated very clearly that users of other variants should not post support questions in the TMO thread. Some have ignored this of course but please don't as eventually he will just drop us if too many people ignore his wishes.

As for backing up...besides the standard nandroid you should back up your aboot files...there are instructions in the development area, its pretty easy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Ragnell:
Yeah, I want to see that FireKat rom, sounds good. I just put on twrp and made a backup with root.

I'm so damn hyped. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
You won't be disappointed. With Firekat and a bunch of xposed mods plus the sound hack that turns on the phone speaker so you get stereo sound, it is a fantastic device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
Yeah I've gotten Tmo Roms to boot but I'm not saying its wise...one, like when using my old Note 3 I could use international roms but they would wipe everything off..that's fun when you realize that you don't like said ROM and you wipe and go to restore a backup from TWRP and there's nothing there including the system you just wiped.lol The only thing I can verify is that most/some tmo kernels will work, but I'm not telling you they definitely will. I'm not responsible! Plus when using a different carriers ROM you'll need ril files and APN crap and might have to fight to get data or cell...its the main problem with having a Verizon phone nowadays.. There's not a lot of development going on unless there's an unlocked bootloader or workaround for locked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bubba Fett:
Im a little confused and don't want to screw this up. I want to unlock my phone to try Tmobile. I'm currently using Skyfall rom, but I believe I need to be stock to unlock. I use loki doki and not safestrap, but I'm nervous about what to flash to get back to stock so I don't need safestrap. I think my original version mas MDL but I am also unsure about downgrading back to 4.2.2. If anyone can advise or ease my anxiety it is much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You can Find the stock mdl Odin file at sammobile.com. once you flash that it'll want to ota update so be careful of that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bubba Fett:
I actually was still searching and found that advice and was about to edit my post. Thank you. I've been rooting since my archos 5 and but this is nerve racking stuff!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bubba Fett:
For all those who might stumble across this for help, it did work. I download stock mdl, flashed via odin, shut off wifi and data so no updates, unlocked the phone , rerooted, then restored my backup. The only issue I had was a bootloop after initial odin flash. I solved this by going to stock recovery and wiping data, so make a back up of your internal sd card.

main problem how to unlock G4 with out imei-check.co.uk

after that you can flash it as G3
[G4] Flexer:
The only problem is that you have to be sure to take the right rom.. Noone wants his device bricked, right? ;)
[G4] vippie:
You can't unlock without imei-check. If you did unlock through imei-check, you still can't flash a G3 rom with IPL/SPL in it unless you want a brick.

@Flexer: great tutorial! Should be a sticky.
[G4] Flexer:
2 vippie: Thanks. Will try hard to be useful for the forum ;)
[G4] RedHook:
Hello all,

for some reason the only rom that G4 loads is 2.3...I have spent days trying to load 3.3 and nada.

I have followed your instructions...anyone has any?

only this works for me

RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE.exe

I tried these

WM5_AKU3.3_Crossbow_BETA_G4

WM5_AKU3.3_Crossbow_BETA
[G4] Flexer:
Tell me.. Is your G4 CID-Unlocked or not? The 3.3 ones require your G4 to be unlocked...
[G4] RedHook:
Not it is not. I guess I will have to spend the money to get it cid-unlocked
[G4] Flexer:
That's true.. I had to unlock mine to flash that Rom.. But I love it ;)
[G4] CAnnabYS:
Yeah... do that and you`ll have another brick in the wall :eek:

The only difference from G3 and G4 ROMs is that the G4 ROM will NOT rewrite your IPL/SPL ... so you can flash any ROM WITHOUT the IPL/SPL parts.

AND VERY IMPORTANT ... i repeat... it does NOT matter if you have a CID UNLOCKED G4 ... if u try to flash IPL/SPL on it, you`ll have yourself another paper-weight.
[G4] tabasco:
I did everything, but after reboot it runs still previous Rom. Like I did't nothing...
[G4] Flexer:
Which rom did you try to flash? And is your device CID unlocked?
[G4] pdagenius:
Changing IPL/SPL

I would like to change to a newer IPL/SPL on my G4 unlocked UK T-mobile MDA Vario. I have read that I need to use one of the T-Mobile ROMS but on the xda-developers ftp server it is not obvious to me which are for a G4 phone.

Can anyone give me some recommendations please?
[G4] Flexer:
Dude, where did you read that???

AFAIK you don't change your IPL/SPL.. Only if you don't want your device bricked.. :confused:

At least show where did you find it?
[G4] pdagenius:
What I found is part of the discussion regarding G3 Wizard http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435 - see the first post

Does anyone know if the US T-Mobile 2.26 ROM link in the above G3 thread is also applicable to a UK T-Mobile MDA Vario unlocked G4 and will it change my IPL/SPL to 2.26?
[G4] neonkoala:
You can flash a new IPL/SPL on a G4, its just that theres generally no need, its risky and you have to make sure its not a G3 IPL/SPL. I think there is a newer one to 2.21.0001 but I'm not sure. I wouldn't change it if I were you as it runs fine even with latest WM6.
[G4] Flexer:
DON'T do it! By changing IPL and SPL on your G4 you'll brick it. Really..

Why would you want it anyway?
[G4] ercave1:
Good work on the tutorial. Linked to it.
[G4] yahdimon:
tmobile rom

I have an Cingular 8125 CID & SIM Unlocked G4 phone via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/, is it safe to download to run the new T-Mobile PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 2.6 from the T-Mobile website or will I brick my phone? Because I don't know if that ROM is intended for G3 phones or has a bootloader?
[G4] ercave1:
As I mentioned in my posts earlier...If you download the package from your provider chances are its for G3, they do not post different versions for G3 & G4, only for G3. If you download elsewhere from the internet and the ROM is packaged...right click on the .exe package and extract the content to a folder of your choice and check the RUU installer. If it says "NoID" somewhere in its name, its most definitely for G3 OR G4 (may be installed on either device).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x1tom:
Hi,

Current setup :

Xperia z1 C6903

Three UK

Version 4.4.4

Build 14.4.a.0.108

Rooted

Unlocked Bootloader

adb drivers installed (on xp)

Trying to install Cyanogen Mod.

Flash boot boot .img all worked fine and have CWM recovery screen up.

When I try to use either sideload or adb push I get the same error:

error: device not found

I've googled and searched here and seems to be a driver issue with adb?

I have android SDK (eclipse) and SDK platform tools installed

any thoughts please?

SOLVED adb driver problem xp device not found

OK, working using universal driver from

http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver

Absolutely no idea why XP stopped seeing the phone, and no attempt at driver/sdk updates worked, tried all the ADB drivers I could find including one above, nothing...

then changed usb post after i uninstalled the device from manager (for the 100th time) and ran the adb installer again. and tada there it was :/

hopefully link above might help someone on xp get adb connection working if they are having problems..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mark643:
I hope this is a cockpit error issue. I have my phone set to lock the screen after a certain amount of time. If I am using the phone (ie making gestures, reading email, sending text messages, taking pictures, browsing, etc.), the screen does not lock, which is what I expect to happen. However, if I am on a phone call longer than the time out, when the call ends, the screen is locked. I have to re-enter my passcode to continue using the phone. Is there a way to tell the phone that while I am on a call, I am actually using the phone, so the screen should not lock???

Thanks,

Mark
[Galaxy S 5 General] mistic:
Hi all

I couldn’t find detail benchmarks of S5 implementation of Broadcom BCM4354 2x2 MIMO 5G WiFi 802.11ac module and in the end decided to take u plunge and purchased Asus ac68u router. Went thru setting up 5G ac wireless network and current results look like this:

S5 connects to 5G ac network with link speed of 866Mbps

File copy from:

Gigabit LAN wired PC to Routers attached USB 2.0 HDD 29MBps (240Mbps) - bottleneck usb 2.0 interface

5G ac WiFI S5 internal storage to Routers attached USB 2.0 HDD 11 MBps (90Mbps)

5G ac WiFI S5 sandisk 128GB microSD card to Routers attached USB 2.0 HDD 11 MBps (90 Mbps)

I have 100/100Mbps broadband internet connection and S5 on speed test performs as follows:

72Mbps DL / 75Mbps UL (same connection via wired PC benchmarks at 94Mbps DL / 95Mbps UL)

I haven’t managed to achieve transfers speeds above 100Mbps from or to S5 in any combination. Can you please share your experience of S5 wifi ac 5G network performance

Related : thread by xenokc about S5 performance on 802.11ac network

Thanks

Kreso
[Galaxy S 5 General] Isriam:
can you test with no encryption? wep/wpa completely off.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mistic:
Yes, i have tried that, but there was no change. Router firmware is upgraded to the latest version / wireless test were done in close proximity (1 meter) to the router without any physical obstacles between (clear line of sight)

I'm really on a mission to achieve transfers speed in a range of 350Mbps-400Mbs on local LAN (which should be doable) but i cannot get pas 100Mbps!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Isriam:
i'll try to test as i know AC should be able to do it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mistic:
Thanks for detailed feedback, but then there is no benefit from implementing ac standard or 2 spatial streams suporrted by broadcom chipset when performance is comperable to WiFi n standard? But then again how did those guys here managed to pull of such results:

382MbpsDL

or

436Mbps

whit same hardware setup?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Isriam:
what kind of latency differences did you see between the wifi phone and your pc to the same server? i'm assuming speedtest.net or something like that?
[Galaxy S 5 General] egps2:
This is strange as for my G900I I've been able to run an Internet speedtest at over 11 MBps (88mbps) over wifi on wireless N at my university which I imagine would have multiple connected devices. Wireless AC should be able to at least match the 88 mbps I had achieved.
[Galaxy S 5 General] drapos:
No, don't do this. You must setup a WPA2 security encription to get maximum rates on WiFi N and AC.

Then, remove storage bottlenecks. Don't use a external HDD connected to a USB2 port. Much less on the same router, since USB performance is much lower on those devices. You will need to use 2 devices on the same LAN. One wired for maximum throughput tests. A ramdisk or a SSD on the host would help too, since HDDS are limited to 120-80Mb/s transfer speeds.

If you are going to use a file copy as measure, make sure you make it into the internal SD card of the phone, since external will be limited to around 8-12mb writes depending on the card quality.

To test networks you would need ramdisk to ramdisk copies, but I don't know how to setup this on android.
[Galaxy S 5 General] f0xy:
This is rather interesting to follow
[Galaxy S 5 General] drapos:
iPerf is available on android.

Quick measurement gave me ~110-169 Mbits/sec using default values on 40mhz WiFi N 5ghz setup.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lotacus:
Thumbs up. Finding someone that uses IPERF for measuring proper network performance is golden. It irritates the heck out of me to find video's of people using ookla to measure their network speed, or like the OP, measuring against USB2. That's like measuring the speed of your new 600MB/s SSD installed on a SATA 1 controller and wondering why you are not seeing a significant improvement.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Isriam:
iperf is a little more complex than ookla though, and thats usually why. same reason most of us dont compile our own custom roms ;)

really, there isn't much need to get over 100mbs on wifi for 90% of the public.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lotacus:
Just picked up the s5 because no store will sell me the note 4 retail price.

Linksys WRT1900ac stock firmware, 5Ghz a/c connected @ 300Mbit

From the phone to wired linux box @ 1000Mbit

187 Mbit up 207 Mbit down but of course it fluctuates. I don't use wifi for anything that requires that much bandwidth anyway, but I do get my full internet speed of 175/30 using the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skyrail01:
This post is rather old, but some of us may still be interested.

I was looking for an alternative to usb cable to transfer files fast between a pc and galaxy S5..

I've used a wifi-300 stick connected to usb port on PC: TL-wn821N, and configured my S5 as a mobile access point.

An ftp server is running on the phone and an ftp client on PC. i am accessing the AP via AirmoreAP hotspot, with wpa encryption.

I am watching the download rate via crystal internet meter for windows.

And this is the result: 64mbps/56 mbps (DL/UL) UL reading a microsd card on phone and writing to sata2 internal disk on pc.

I am wondering if I can reach much faster speed with a wifi-ac stick.

Hello,

I tried to install a ROM on my android device for the first time a few daysa ago I followed every step:

Rooted my phone, installed CWM, when I tried to unlock bootloader I got some kind of error, but STUPID me ignored it.

I opened CWM installed the ROM and turned off my phone when I try turning it on it just vibrates and nothing happens then vibrates again in a few seconds.

I have googled a little bit and found out that it might be a thing called bootloop or soft brick but haven't found a working solution anywhere.

TL;DR I bootloopeed my phone. please help people. the past few days without smartphone I understood I can't live without it ;((

sorry for my bad English.
