Hold on a minute... hold your horses! Don't go telling somebody to go mess with these factory settings when they don't need to! If doing a prl & profile update don't resolve your issues then you should consider backing up any files/data on your phone and then odin flash either the stock NK2 or BOB7 Lollipop rom tar. This will ensure you have the latest modem and other critical partitions correctly written to your phone. this is the best way to ensure your phone is setup correctly. DO NOT go messing with things like the post above just because somebdy says it's what you need to do. That is not the solution to your problem. Factory settings are perfectly fine and there's no reason for you to have to go in and manually change those settings. Period.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
It was only a suggestion.

I'm not to keen on allowing my traffic to flow through a proxy to fill it with ads. Does it hurt anything? No. Safe? The user should only attempt if they're comfortable and confident they can put it back if needed. I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't use it myself. Had it on my last Sprint phone and on this one before lollipop dropped. Again, I wouldn't share a suggestion that I hadn't tried myself.

You're correct about the methods you suggested to try first. I agree, the user should try if not already attempted. I read through what he had attempted and may have missed that. Even a factory reset may have been in order before considering my suggestion as well.

You felt a need to set this right for the user but no reason to go and try to discourage me from suggesting helpful information. If you don't agree, that's your opinion. This is a development forum, is it not?

Do I think ALL factory settings are fine? No. Why do we root our phones to start with? Getting rid of ads that slow slow data and freezing that Connections Optimizer so your phone is not warm when you pull out it to use it and not feeling like you're the only one using your phone. My last Sprint phone still had background birdstep processes going despite opting out Optimizer and turning it off. After all, consider it showed up after Carrier IQ was removed and now Itson is making a visit, deeply rooted in various places including the kernel. And bloat? There are reasons you develop and share. Thank you for that. I chose to develop and share my way; this one we can agree to disagree on. Peace.

It's rather an old topic. Works for some but not for others. I think it depends more on one's location and local Wi-Fi and INTERNET provider.

Here's a thread I found

Ok so before straying off topic with talk about that other stuff... what i'm saying is that his problem does not require modifying those default configs. That's not the cause or solution to his loss of data. There's nothing wrong with the modification you mentioned if a person doesn't in fact have some other issue causing his problem. The first thing i would do is the prl/profile update and if that doesn't restore normal data then i would wipe everything and odin flash the Lollipop rom tar so that all of the carier and systems partitions as well as the modem are correctly restored. Sorry for sounding rude but I think once he gets his data working he can consider doing the mod you suggested which is a good idea.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
No problem. I just felt I should reply. From discussing, we agree more than we disagree. It's better to help the OP than pollute a thread. You did good setting a priority of steps to consider.

Thank you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerboy3:
Pardon my head scratching... But from the the OP I could have sworn he had these problems on WIFI not LTE. What good is a PRL update going to do? Now the profile might help a bit. But I'm thinking he does simply need to odin stock NK2 or BOB7 tar. Aside from that would be to mess with the connection optimizer, and turn it off after deleting the data from the app itself. Flashing the tar could be his best bet because it ensures the latest modem etc. Other than that, I could only think of things like Wifi frequency or even security levels/specific types (WEP or WPA/WPA2 PSK and all that jazz). We have seen on other devices going from build to build sometimes these companies break small features like this unintentionally.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I must admit I was initially thrown off by some of the OP's comments like hard reset which I mistook for factory reset. And trying everything sort of rolling back to KK; I gave to much credit in my comprehension of his steps taken to remedy his phone.

Thanks for posting that and maybe you better understand my assessment.

If this isn't too far of topic, I'd like to add more to Wi-Fi and lollipop discussion...

Home Wi-Fi can be trickier than appears. I have a Netgear R6300 v2 router and thought it was absolute junk maintaining connection; couldn't get good support from Netgear or TWC. But then when searching on my own, found this app in Google Play by Netgear that instantly gives feedback on your Wi-Fi reception quality and nearby Wi-Fi networks by channel and frequency. I discovered that my neighbouring Wi-Fi systems 2.4GHz would cause my Wi-Fi to shut down and reset if the penetration power exceeded -80dBm on same frequency. Don't know if this indicates a bad router but I think it was a quality of signal issue. To complicate the situation even worse, changing the channel had the same scenario repeating a couple of days later when neighbouring Wi-Fi channels changed frequencies. My resolve was to shutdown 2.4GHz and stay with 5GHz which has zero penetration from competing Wi-Fi systems in my house. Further scanning of neighbouring Wi-Fi units indicates that their power is cycling. It has me thinking that they're suffering from the same congestion of competing 2.4Ghz systems and cycling like mine was. It's worth checking out and It's compatible with other name brands. It also gives the user opportunity to check coverage, quality and speed if connection throughout service area with its various settings menus and refresh rates. I discovered that 5Ghz was sufficient in coverage and faster but had to upgrade a couple of devices that were incompatible with 5Ghz.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netgear.WiFiAnalytics

Wi-Fi calling is much improved in lollipop as well. Battery is about the same as KK with Xposed so I'd say the Xposed incompatibility with Lollipop-TW isn't that bad with lollipop's battery saving improvement. Google could improve further by not allowing browsers and Google Music to continue to run in background after user is done with them.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerboy3:
Well at the same time, did you look at possibly putting a homebrew style firmware on your router to expand your channel options? I used DD-WRT for years for similar issues. but you can easily lock your wifi to a different channel thats way to one extreme of the band you are using (5ghz its typically not needed). paticularly the channels that all these "all in one" modem/router/wifi boxs don't include by default. I do a wifi survey (built into my routers *ASUS N66u and N56u*) and check for channels before I decide on channels/bands. I feel this could help everyone achieve the same results. In highly populated/saturated areas. Your best bet tends to be 5ghz, simply because its penetration is horrible compared to 2.4ghz. Just my 2cents.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Agreed.

For the density of this neighborhood, 2.4Ghz is a wash, especially with their auto-channel changes. BTW, Netgear's auto-mode is dysfunctional in my environment; fixed channel was better but not a permanent solution; I could fix it temporarily by selecting a fixed less congested channel with less but that proved to be a moving target.

I considered the open source firmware but 11AC's beamforming is not yet mature in open source for proprietary reasons. Even reading the forums on my device didn't comfort me that theirs was any better, having the same problems.

I was considering moving to a Linksys AC router considering the advice of said support avenues but the option I gave works well despite the coverage of 5GHz, the beamforming gives quality and speed at slightly lower power than 2.4Ghz provides with its spread spectrum approach. The app's test results suggested that and the result is no more cycling the connection and buffering. I can stream high resolution video via upstairs Wi-Fi to living room downstairs without buffering and pausing and restarting is no longer the issue I had with 2.4Ghz or dual mode. Dual mode would still cycle the whole Wi-Fi connection when penetration occurred as previously stated. Single mode 5Ghz is a working solution for me.

The advantage of having the mobile app is seeing your coverage vs penetration in various places. What I saw suggests I could troubleshoot my neighbors Wi-Fi issues; their problems with cycling wasn't varying penetration, I could still it cycling at the edges of my yard, closer to the source.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johndill:
Hi, I have been using an iPhone 5 for quiet awhile (after coming from an Xperia NEO and PLAY) and am dying to go back to the freedom of android and want to get the Xperia Z2, however I have been reading that there is overheating issues not only with the 4k recording and need your advice, what has been your experience? have you had all the issues like overheating, freezing, wifi issues etc, that I have been reading about?

Also, what is the performance like on the Z2? does anyone know what the frame rate of Modern Combat 4 is? I got around 30fps on my Xperia PLAY with a custom rom :)

Lastly, what is the battery life like, and are all Xperia Z2 models 4G? I'm in Australia

Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Newer the batch model less issues

My Z2 gets hot but no overheating with anything, even 4k recording

No freezing issues, almost No wifi issues (rare random wifi drops)

Framerate is good but it does lag every so often on 4.4.4 167 FW (not sure about 5.0.2 690FW)

Battery life is awesome

4HRS -- 15HRS SOT

4hrs Total life - 9 days total life

(i always use max brightness, 4G and wifi)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johndill:
Thanks for the reply, is your Z2 4G, and how can I tell the newer batch from the old? is there a way to tell in the serial?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
There is a pull out tab under the right flap next to where the microSD slot is

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johndill:
has anyone found what they changed in the design?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
They just improved the faults of the previous

When Z2 released there was alot of issues and people being fired so they improved on the problems and faults of the previous per batch
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johndill:
oh dear :-S

Thanks heaps for your help!, you've given me all the information I needed :) all the problems I was reading were around release and were deterring me from the z2, but now it's all cleared up :D

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javed24:
I'm trying to root my device from following a tutorial from the oneplus forum, I've also tried a bunch more. It's currently running the 05Q OTA update. The problem is, whenever I'm giving the command 'fastboot oem unlock' it doesn't wipe anything at all, rather performs a normal reboot. I've searched other forum posts on the topic here, none really resembled mine (or I didn't get the exact solution to the problem). I've tried the OPO toolbox v5 as well, didn't work. Same thing happens, I click the 'unlock bootloader' button in fastboot mode, the phone performs a normal reboot instead of wiping it. I'm pretty much a noob in this field, so a noob-friendly solution could help me a lot.

After going from 4.4 to 5 on my S5 Im not sure 5 was a life changing upgrade for the better. Im not sure how much Better its going to make this device. It didnt make my S5 better but it did annoy me enough to jump ship to this device. So I guess it was life changing enough:p Not sure I will accept the 5.0 when its offered until I see reviews from you guys here.
[Xperia Z3v General] DJ Sandman:
If "Xperia Z3 Dual" refers to both the Z3 and Z3v, then maybe next week?!?

http://www.itechpost.com/articles/1...op-announced-for-more-sony-xperia-devices.htm

The company had already announced that the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet were set to get the update soon, and it has now revealed that the Xperia Z3 Dual, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, and Xperia Z Ultra will receive Android 5.0 Lollipop sometime next week. The Sony Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia C3 will follow after that, but no specific rollout dates are available at this point. Nevertheless, it's always good news to see more devices on track to get a software treat.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
The Xperia Z3 dual is an entirely separate handset itself. It's called the Dual because it can carry two Sim cards at once for convenience.

I got my Z3 Tablet Compact in the mail and it's already ready to be updates to lollipop. Haven't done it yet since I want to play around with it first. I also am starting to believe the earlier poster about not seeing the update till May. Only reason I'd say so is mainly because of Verizon. They're not supporting the device at all since they want to just push Samsung, HTC, and their own Droid Turbo first. They're also selling the Z3v too cheap at 99 cents on a new two year contract while still selling their Galaxy S5 at $150.

With the Z3v compared to the S6, S6 Edge, and M9, we still have much better battery life and we still have comparable premium specs. Droid Turbo is just thick and generic looking but that battery life is taken from the Z3. I just think Verizon maybe wanted the lesser version of the Xperia so they just can't advertise two 2 day lasting phones.

Also, is it an app installed by the DRM Restore zip? If so, why did they bundle it?
