[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
There are many articles on the internet that explain this. I'll give you the gist of them though:

Debloating. "Bloat" is unwanted/unneeded apps. They take up space, they slow things down, and they bug you for updates. You can't always delete what you don't want because these apps are installed by the manufacturer or carrier as "system" apps, rather than "user" apps. With root access you can uninstall system apps. Be careful in what you delete though, and always do a back-up first.

Back-ups. With apps like Titanium, ROM Tool Box, and Helium, you can do full back-ups of your apps. It's a good idea to do a back-up before updating some apps, as you might prefer the older version vs the new one. Or, you can back-up a game that doesn't save to a server/cloud and you don't lose your progress. And you can back up system apps before deleting them so you can always restore them if things go awry.

Ad blocking. With apps like AdAway you can block ads within apps/games and also ads within your web browsers. Besides making things cleaner and less annoying, this improves load times and reduces data usage because the ads don't have to load.

Customization. Root access can let you use certain apps to customize the appearance and function of your OS. Most notable is the Xposed framework, an extremely powerful tool that utilizes individual modules to not only change how your phone looks, but how it can fundamentally operate.

Performance. Even without a custom kernel, you can still use a kernel controller app to tweak your phone for better performance or better battery life. Exactly what can be done and by how much depends on the phone.

Free wifi tethering. There are apps that bypass your carrier and phone's built-in tether provisioning.

Tasker. Tasker is an app that can automate your phone to do whatever you want whenever you want it to happen. It's nearly limitless.

Hi - I have LS980 on cm12 rom. I have subscribed to Airtel 4G connection however I was informed that LS980 does not support 2300mhz and hence 4G is not possible unless the Airtel also starts providing 4G connection on 1800mhz.

Would someone be able to guide/help me in letting me know if it's something can be done so my phone thinks I have 2300mhz, similarly like "QUALCOMM NV CALCULATOR".

Please let me know if this is possible to have 4G/LTE from Airtel in India on LS980?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitinvertigo:
airtel 4g

I think the only model that supports 4g lte in india is d802t. Airtel provides at 2300mhz only...

Here's a flashable zip, if you flash international rom and wants wifi calling.

I flash it on Sense 7, working great.

Htc M8 with sense 6

I took my at&t unlocked phone to a cell phone guy to jail break and flash this zip. He rooted the phone and it was working fine. I gave this zip to him and he flashed the zip and phone stopped working. All the google apps are not closing and not able to reach setting or other apps.

He tried to restore phone and after repeated trials he gave up saying he cannot fix it. I not having much knowledge on this could not do anything. Can you please advise and help me out here...to restore the phone to factory settingss or remove this tmobile rom

so we cannot have android 5.X or any CM based rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
I have never tried a CM ROM. But stock based 5.x should work fine. Backup with a nandroid and try a CM ROM. The Freedompop provisioning should not be touched.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyeguy616:
I have a freedompop branded galaxy s3 and have tried a few roms from here. They've all worked: spirit, carbon rom, and slimkat. Wound up staying on spirit for now. Tried to flash CM11 but it didn't seem to work with or like the recovery I had at the time and I didn't feel like switching it out just to try CM (think it was a status 7 error or something). Haven't tried any 5.x roms but the main thing you'll want to reinstall after flashing is the freedompop messaging app. That's the main thing you need to make calls, and it should be compatible with lollipop.

troubleshooting devices ...

hello, I need some info from the developer:

In the tab 'GPSinfo' I see on the top line 'Date' :

Is this calculated from the GPS signal or what?

My problem:

I can run GPSinfo on two identical devices, Pharos 600e, WM6.1

On the first one, it works OK and I get GPS lock, and the 'Date' field is updated with the current date

On the second, identical device, I can not get GPS lock, the 'Date' field shows a date in 2006 "2006/04/16"

On both devices the GPS driver seems to work, I see the GPS light blinking, and the NMEA data scrolling in the 'Setup' field of the program.

I suspect a (hardaware?software?) problem with the second device and I am trying to troubleshoot the issue..

Any advice?

Thanks in Advance !

Vesso

[Nexus 6  General] TimmothyG:
Hi guys,

I have a completely stock Nexus 6 from my Carrier (Rogers) with only Google Play apps.

Just a heads up, the Nexus 6 5.1 OTA (LMY47D) will brick your phone with "system UI Crashed", upon clearing the Cache partition the behaviour is similar to the AT&T recall of booting to a black screen. Selecting Factory via the recovery menu doesn't fix this. Looking into sideloading instead of doing a factory reset...

It looks like Nexus 5 users are being burned by this as well: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=160732
[Nexus 6  General] noodles2224:
Maybe you had that problem.. A lot haven't mentioned that. I side loaded when the zip first came out on the 12th, after completion I always factory reset from recovery since I'm there already, then clear cache for the hell of it. Then, I had duplicate SMS problem so when the image came out from google, I thought maybe that will fix the SMS issue so I flashed everything one by one and factory rest and cache. No bricks, buddy..

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] TimmothyG:
I'm confused, the first line is purely condescending, with the remainder saying you didn't do anything at all related to actual OTA?
[Nexus 6  General] chuck24:
Haven't had any issues on my end
[Nexus 6  General] kingsway8605:
Did you unencrypt your phone? Download the ota from google and flash userdata. I bet it fixes your problem.
[Nexus 6  General] Vanhoud:
You just had bad luck
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Rogers and ATT have very close ties -- their networks are virtually identical. It wouldn't surprise me that whatever kind of nonsense att pulled, is being copied by rogers.

In any case, you can blame rogers for this. That is the side-effect of using one of the worst cell carriers on the PLANET.

Next time, buy the phone straight from Google, or from a non-evil carrier like Tmobile (US) or Wind. In fact, change carriers to Wind -- your cost will go way down, and your service quality will go way up.
[Nexus 6  General] Forerunner326:
That specific build only causes devices to be bricked?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
A couple of days ago i started notcing i would get random soft reboots, and i narrowed it down to when the screen would rotate. Im not sure what would cause it and ive tried undoing all changes that ive made that i can remember but its still present. The only major recent change worth mentioning is I now have a pebble i use, but that doesnt seem like something that would cause this, i won't rule it out though. I am rooted, and safestrapped, on 4.4.2, running XDX 1.0, and i have xposed and busybox. Im really out of ideas, its not constant but once it starts, it starts getting worse and worse and the ohone starts heating up, so i'd like to fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Wanted to add real quick, seems to happen mostly with videos or media related things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Ok so a few new updates, it happens with everything, not just media. Also i finally had an error pop up once before the crash, and its systemui crashing(assumed thats what was it, wasnt suee though). Another thing ive noticed is its per app, i'll open an app, rotate, crash, then when it finishes soft rebooting i can open that app up again and rotate fine, no issues, but any other apps seem to make me go through that process again. I also originally thought it only happened when i was low on battery, but that was because i only noticed it with low battery cause it was the end of the day, when my battery is low and i rotate the phone to watch YouTube and whatnot. That's all ive got, i'll try to get a logcat if i can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Ok so scratch almost everything. It can happen going from portrait to landscape, or landscape to portrait, and even after ive rotated in an app and caused a crash to "allow" it to be rotated, it will still do it anyway sometimes. This is getting kind of ridiculous, i really wish i could figure out what the heck is going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Alright heres a logcat, its rather large and i appologize, but ive given it a lookthrough and it seems that if you find the two instances of rotate, thats where it starts, because my exact process was, start the logcat, turn on rotation, rotate, wait for reboot after crash to complete. http://filebin.ca/1vrJXzLVARmn/logcat.txt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Just a guess but try uninstalling Xposed it sometimes plays weird with devices
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll give it a shot. It seems weird tjat itd just randomly pop up though, usually a problem with xposed would be immideately noticeable, no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Not necessarily and if it works it was an easy fix if not just one thing that was ruled out.

Rooted using flash tool, note... Does seem to freeze at the reboot part when it tries to install busybox so I manually install from marke. I had root for awhile then saw on xda that you could "proper" root by updating threw ota. Tried and failed multiple times. I have a screenshot of the error from xposed. Any help greatly appreciated.

Well, i never gave up and figured out the problem.

Sooo, i downgraded...again...to stock (C6916_14.2.C.0.159_TMobile.ftf) then rooted and :D it worked. doing installs and checking as i type but so far viper4android and xposed are g2g. now to upgrade to next version (C6916_14.4.B.0.37_T-Mobile.ftf) for "proper" root. thanks and glad if i could help others with same problem.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
OK so I've had my m8 for a year or so now. Never been impressed one way or another as to bad reception or good reception. However, now twice in one week I saw side by side comparison to other AT&T phone s (iPhone 6 and galaxy s5) and the reception was worse.

Today while traveling in the car with my wife south of Cincinnati I noticed that my m8 had no service. So I checked my wife's iPhone6s. Two bars. This went on and off where I had no service for 90% of 15 miles or so. The iPhone maintained service the entire time!

I posted similar is in the M8 Android Development radio thread after making a trip last week with two iPhone and an s5 user s. My service, side by side, was much worse. It was suggested that I flash the latest developers firmware and radio which I did. 4.16.1540.8. Based on my drive today with my wife it didn't help.

Does the M8 radio just suck compared to the iPhone or does someone have done other suggestions for improving cell reception? And yes I know its different for different areas but I've tried several radios now and the result seems to be the same.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The bars don't mean jack. There is literally no standardization to what the bars symbolize. I've had 2 bars on AT&T plenty of times, and you can't get a call out, much less data. And my wife reports similar on her iPhone.

Whether your phone or hers can make or receive calls and texts, or get data; or what the dBm reading in Settings; those are the only real indicators of signal quality.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Madcat8686:
I used to have signal problems (when I used my Evita and with my M8) for quite awhile where I work. It wasn't until I flashed the Dev radio I recommended that I became the ONLY person to be able to use my phone in an area we all call cell phone hell. Even the Iphone and flip phones couldn't get a signal. I initially flashed the 4.4.4 Dev radio and that did the trick. Now that I have moved on to the current Dev radio, I still see better performance.

Here's the important part though, cell reception areas differ greatly. Any number of issues may cause this. I knew a guy who lived right between two cell towers and the jumping back and forth between the two was killing his battery even though he showed he always had signal. (we confirmed this by moving closer to each tower.) He constantly had dropped calls. So it's possible your baseband may not be the issue.

Anyway, if you have funds, they make cell repeaters you can buy and boost your signal in areas you frequently are for long periods of time. But other than flashing a few radios to experiment (S-Off!) That's the best I can tell you.
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
So through an internet friend, I've come across a file for the soak test for the US Moto X, XT1053 (Tmobile/unlocked). I have no way of verifying if its legit. I don't want to test it because I don't want unofficial software on my phone, I prefer stability. However, should I post it for those of you adventurers out there? Is that allowed here?

Again, I have no way of verifying its validity. I won't release my source either.
[Moto X General] DrDecoy:
Since the Brazilian version is being passed along on XDA, I don't see why you shouldn't share the xt1053 version. It's not you who signed the nondisclosure agreement any way.

Just my interpretation.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
If you were invited to the Test (soak, beta, or whatever Moto wants to call it) via the Moto Feedback Network, then I would not post it. When one agreed to the invite, they agreed to what amounts to an Non-Disclosure Agreement. Posting the file would violate that.
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
I never signed an NDA though. My friend gave it to me, and said I could post it if I wanted to. I might.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Ok, well "your friend" did. so.. either way... someone did.

Why ask if you are going to do it anyway?
[Moto X General] Bigluc:
I wasn't sure if I should or not. I guess since other ROMs are being leaked, there's really no harm in leaking this one.
[Moto X General] alexferdean:
It's guys like your friend that put the soak test program in jeopardy and it could end for good.
[Moto X General] superm1:
You should not post it. Users who are not enrolled in the test program will get stuck in a broken state as other upgrades are released within MFN.
[HTC Excalibur] bouyark:
Someone drop the ball when they released this rom and placed the reminders in the vibrate profile in lieu of the normal profile.No regedit and switching around profiles needed. This work for me.

Fix:

-Go to settings and then profile.

-Down to vibrate and hit menu on the soft key, choose edit

-Down to reminder type

-Change it to play sound or whatever you want, hit done.

Next

-Down to reminder volume and change it from off to whatever number you want (The higher the number the louder the reminder sound)

-Press done until you are back at the home screen.

You can check this by creating a reminder or go to settings/sound and scroll down to reminders, press menu and play.
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
Uh, I just tried it. Yes, it does make the reminders have sound, but it also makes reminders have sound when you're in the vibrate profile :)

It's the same effect as switching the normal and vibrate profile.

You're correct. I suppose this is not a permanent fix afterall.
