Tried and so far, nothing stops my phone from dropping to 3g when making a call. Also, some of these changes cause speedtest.net app to think I'm about 5 states away from where I actually am. Switching back, it puts closest server back to Indiana.....

I am using T-Mobile on this phone so not having to have my phone drop data to make phone calls would be great. I wasn't able to get this to work, but would be interested in knowing if others on T-Mobile can get this to work.

Thanks

i tried this with Verizon branded s5 on T-Mobile and it did not work. It wouldn't even show up as LTE. Straight dropped to H+.

Is doing this the same thing as what 5.0 does in the mobile network settings? I upgraded to 5.0 previously and it switched one of the settings to GSM/UMTS/LTE which it was previously GSM/UMTS.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] DroidinAndStuff:
I tried this on my g900v S5 running Ricks Rom. Step one change off to on resulted in soft bricking with reboot having a toast pop up saying systemui has stopped. Touch ok and it goes to the home screen then same pop up loops back to lock screen over and over.

How to fix?

In recovery-advanced-file manager, when selecting the efs file, nothing is in it to edit and it only shows "up one file" or something like that.

What should be checked under "mount"? There are checkboxes for Micro SDCard, Internal Storage, Data, Cache and system.

Can't add/enable AWS 1700/2100 on G900V rooted and currently on NCG 4.4.2

HI,

I tried what the OP said in the first post but couldn't add aws band 4 (UMTS/HSPA 1700/2100 band) to use on 3G on Wind/Mobilicity in Canada. I had G900V that came SIM unlocked from the seller and wiht OC4 firmware installed on it (not rooted at the time I purchased). Then I followed various threads here on XDA to downgrade it to NCG in order to allow rooting the device and successfully downgraded to NCG full tar (kernel, ROM both are NCG right now). Also used towelroot to root the phone successfully. Then I followed OP's steps to try and enable aws band IV (1700/2100 hspa/umts on 3g) and insterted non-verizon SIM (tried with both Wind and Mobilicity SIM) but couldn't get phone to recognize these carriers. All I can get is BELL/ROGERS/TELUS as options. Any steps that I am missing or should re-look at? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!!

I am building AOSP rom on my Galaxy s5.

When I am looking at the device tree components I notice that the repo

android_device_qcom-common

depends on

android_device_samsung_hardware

. However, the repo "android_device_samsung_hardware" is only Exynos and my s5 is Snapdragon.

Would it be save to use the hardware repo? 'cause the "BoardConfigCommon.mk"only asks for this:

BOARD_HARDWARE_CLASS += hardware/samsung/cmhw

so I don't see anything about the Exynos.

[Nexus 9 General] Dr. Hurt:
Blocking Ads on my N9 made a significant difference, not only in battery life but in overall usability. No more animated ads, music, or such annoyances.

Without root, there are two ways to block Ads:

1- Using a DNS filter: (Recommended)

http://www.fooldns.com/fooldns-community/english-version/

To set up, go to Setting > WiFi > long press your connection > modify > advanced > IP add: Static > enter an IP address & fill in the DNS 1 and DNS 2 from the link above.

Pros:

- No need to install app, no CPU or RAM usage.

- No problems like Adblock Plus (read below).

Cons:

- DNS resolution is slightly slower than my ISP, but page loading is still faster without the ads.

- Not all ads are blocked

2- Using Adblock Plus for Android:

https://downloads.adblockplus.org/devbuilds/adblockplusandroid/

To set up: Go to settings > WiFi > long press your connection > modify > advanced > proxy: manual > type localhost for hostname and 2020 for port.

Pros:

- Block all Ads, everywhere.

- Slightly faster

Cons:

- Google services tend to timeout sometimes.

- App is always running and using 100MB of RAM.

3- Using Adguard for Android:

(Recommended if DNS method slows your connection).

http://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html

Just install the apk and follow the instructions.

Pros:

- Easy to setup

- Very Fast

- No connection timeout like Adblock Plus

Cons:

- Premium version is very expensive

- Free version only blocks browser ads

- App is always running in background.

If you are rooted you can use AdAway.

Which basically modifies the hosts file in the device and that's it. No app running in the background, or any effect on connection speed.

Thanks for the heads up. Added it to the OP.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] viatorx:
Since the main widcomm thread has become what I'd tend to call convoluted, I thought I might as well start a new thread in the hopes that somebody has experienced a similar problem and found a fix.

I installed the widcomm stack on an 8525, install went fine (yes, MS BT was disabled during install). Successfully paired my Pulsar 590A's and they seemed to work well. The audio fidelity was an incredible improvement.

The problem was the intermittent stops that occurred several times per song playing MP3's (generally encoded to 192) in Media Player. It was annoying enough that I hard reset, but my God I can't go back. The MS stack, even with the reg hack, is just is too horrible.

I'm running the plain ol 1.34.502.1 ROM with the 1.16 radio.

I should note that I installed HTweakC 2.0, and had run the bluetooth improve audio quality tweak prior to installing the widcomm stack. Don't know if that would make a difference or not.

Things I tried: I removed the HTweakC settings, soft reset. I shut down all the BT services except the high quality audio, soft reset. Deleted and repaired the headset, soft reset. Got fed up, hard reset :( lmao

So I'm going to take another stab at the widcomm stack, because as aforementioned, after experiencing the wid and then going back to MS, I can't abide the MS stack any longer.

Any suggestions, tips, whatever, would be awesome.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
i suggest you watch your program memory levels while playing the 192 bitrate file and while running the widcomm stack... you will find that your device runs out of program memory... as media player required a fair amount of memory to play high bitrate files that only gives you a minimal amount left for the widcomm stack which also requires a decent amount...

i suggest you try mortplayer or a different mp3 player and see if u have the same issues...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] viatorx:
Yeah that definately makes sense. I was careful about closing out everything but the media player and the bluetooth manager, but I had wondered if the higher bitrate levels were what was causing some of the problem. I'll try mortplayer and see if I get a better result.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arktronic:
Using MortPlayer is a good idea, especially with your Plantronics headphones, since AVRCP (play/pause/next/back buttons) should work with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] viatorx:
Excellent, I'll def try that. I've got Widcomm back up and paired. I tried TCPMP first and I definately get less skips, but they do persist. I'll try Mort and see how that does, had just chosen to try TCPMP because it appeared to be less of a CPU hog. I am also wondering if the A2DP fix that Sleuth posted will do anything.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] viatorx:
FWIW, I started experiencing more probs last night. Active sync via USB wouldn't work, and the memory issue started popping up. Boy, really is a frustrating issue. The audio quality is like 10x better, it pairs easier with my computers, and I like the interface. But grr, I'm at the point where I think I'm going back to MS again. I'll just bide my time until some of the bugs can be worked out. I really appreciate all the help though guys, this place is a treasure of unspeakable magnitude.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cybertron:
for me the skipping disappeard when using Sleuths A2DP Fix.

and this is a known error, not only with widcomm but with ms stack too.

i do not have the AS error nor memory problems with the widcomm stack, using Xda-live 0.2 and Widocm 0.3.

using mortplayer for music and tcmpg for video , no problems what so ever (except that i must sometimes (quite often) softreset to get my headset to pair (using plantronics 260)

I also have this problems. After install Widcomm stack (I have Windows Mobile VI - BLACK EDITION v1.2 but also happended with WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition), I can't sync via USB. My computer don't detect the Hermes! Is if like I didn't connect to it.

Any solution for this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Menneisyys:
Yup, it IS less of a CPU hog unless you use the equalizer - with about 70-80% (see my article in the General forum on the generic CPU usage of all MM players). However, it doesn't support AVRCP - only the latest version(s) of the commercial CorePlayer do so (see my AVRCP-compatibility articles).

If you need both AVRCP and very low CPU usage, go for iPlay.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Menneisyys:
As has been pointed out in several of my articles (do you follow them? They're all cross-posted to the General forum), if you install the Widcomm BT stack and don't apply the related COM Registry hacks, you can only use the "old" (pre-WM5) ActiveSync approach, NOT the newer. That is, in your case, you don't see your PDA because it'd require a different way of connection than before installing the Widcomm stack.

Try disabling your firewall / antivirus software to see whether they allow for the connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Menneisyys:
It does't - it only sets the MS BT stack quality parameters, NOT those of Widcomm.

Also see my Widcomm & MS BT stack quality-related article in the General forum, where I elaborated on all these parameters.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sesaru:

I've been working with the Widcomm BT Stack for a week now in combination with a Logitech Mobile Headset HS200. So far this is what I experienced:

XDA Live v0.20

- Connected using MS Stack, no tweaks: Poor sound quality / severe skipping

- Connected using WC Stack, no tweaks: Average sound quality / servere skipping

- Connected using WC Stack, Sleuth255 A2DP fix: Average sound quality / average skipping

HTC AKU 3.3 with 16MB poolsize

- Connected using WC Stack, Sleuth255 A2DP fix, several tweaks: Good Sound quality / average skipping

- Connected using MS Stack, Sleuth255 AD2P fix / workaround: Poor sound quality / almost no skipping.

Here it got interesting. Apparently without the Widcomm BT Stack the skipping was zero to none with all the tweaks. But the MS Stack sucks bigtime, so how much you tweak it won't sound as good as the WC Stack.

Now running WC Stack with Sleuth255's workaround to avoid skipping making some minor changes in the registry. Skipping is brought down to a minimal when using Widcomm BT Stack now, but I'm still not satisfied.

I'm waiting for the XDA v0.30 release, so I can try a 16MB poolsize and A2DP on WM6.

Edit:

Wow HTweak 2.0 greatly improved the sound quality. Still have some minor skipping, but for the time being I can live with this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trion:
I have never had skipping but the sound quality with the WC stack is just way better.

I've edited the LVSW edition to a 10mb pagepool to try how this works as I find the WC stack with normal pagepool to slow.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sesaru:
Hello,

I installed this ROM in my X01HT and WC Stack. After That, I did this:

1. Close BT Manager and turn BT off.

2. Open registry (need Resco Registry plug-in) and make the following changes (no need of soft reset after them):

[HKLM\Software\Widcomm\BTConfig\Applications\0001]

Change ComPortNumber from 8 to 7

[HKLM\Software\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services\0001]

Change ComPortNumber from 9 to 6

Rename [HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial8] to [HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial6] and change these subkeys acordingly

"FriendlyName"="Bluetooth Serial Port COM6:"

"DeviceArrayIndex"=dword:00000006

"Index"=dword:00000006

When you have changed this, suspend (off) the PDA for a few seconds and turn it on again. Then goto Bluetooth Settings- Services-Serial Port-Advanced and verify that thet ports that Widcomm is using are 6 & 7​

But now I can't switch on the phone App. When I open the Comm App, and push the "Phone" button, it didn't start.

Please, somebody let me know what I'm doing bad.

Thanks

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightonphiri:
This post is related to an earlier post of mine and another one I post on andriod.stackexchange. I need help wiping an LG Optimus L5 (E612) in Safe Mode. The Mobile device constantly reboots and returns to state it was in on December 25.

What I have noticed, however, is that it stabilises when I boot it in Safe Mode (Power -> Volume- & Volume+ keys). I even have full root access when in Safe Mode.

I have tried the following without any success:

'wipe data'; 'wipe all' as root---device returns to previous state after rebooting

Normal factory reset---nothing happens

Factory reset using hardware keys (Power + Volume-)---device reboots after five seconds and returns to previous state

Manual purge of data in Safe Mode---device returns to previous state after rebooting

Someone suggested a KDZ flash; I successfully did this multiple times---device returns to previous state after rebooting

I tried 'adb reboot bootloader' and did a 'fastboot erase'---device reboots after a few seconds

Could it be that my now one+ year-old LG Optimus L5 is dead or is there anything else I can do to save it?
