[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cables2590:
I came from a nexus 5 so dealing with these different ROM variants is new to me. I have an at&t m9 and do I need to s off and change my super cid before flashing one of these Roms? Also to be able to get another region ota will that change my radios? The reason why im asking is would I loose my LTE from at&t?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxquicksh0txx:
You can flash any rom simply by being unlocked with a custom recovery. Most of the GSM roms are compatible with every carrier. I know there were some data issues at first(Mainly not having the correct APN's), but they all should be worked out by now.

Should note: S-off is not needed to have a custom rom. It's only needed for those users who want a little *more*
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cables2590:
So if I wanted to update the firmwares is as easy as replacing cid with 11111111 and can I update parts of the firmwares... I don't want to lose my at&t LTE
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpmccormick:
I got the same message when using fastboot in the WHITE bootloader screen... you need to be in the BLACK download screen and then the fastboot recovery works fine.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

You won't lose your LTE, you will just lose their pre-installed apps and bootup-logos. Everything will work fine. SuperCID (11111111) to flash developer RUU is what you get with S-OFF, that plus custom pre-boot logo, and ability to return to true-stock without it saying "modified" or "re-locked".

Do you think anyone will ever make a free one down the road, or should I just pay the $25 now? :(

For those of us that were dumb enough to take the NK1 OTA without researching, damning us to an eternity without root, could we potentially worsen the possibility that a root exploit be found by taking the Lollipop OTA as well?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChevyNexus:
I'd say that if you took the 4.4.4. Update go ahead and upgrade to Lollipop because the chances of someone finding a exploit for 4.4.4 now is slim to none, because if a developer does still have this phone they're gonna be working on Lollipop.

OneClickRoot

Okay, doing some research... I am not going to try and update my Note 3 to Lollipop and damn myself to a pit of rootless use... Would someone please test the theory that OneClickRoot will work for rooting the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 as they claim to be able to do Here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icetech3:
Just curious... what about being unrooted makes a phone useless? I am just wondering.. i always root mine but thinking bout it, i don't really use anything that HAS to have root?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeSsEiCp:
It all depends on what you're trying to do with your phone. It's never going to make it "useless" as a phone. If you have a specific functionality that you're trying to accomplish that requires root and plan to use it all the time, then perhaps the phone could become somewhat useless to you.

To most people it tends to mean that they aren't going to be able to use their native tethering app without having to use some third party software like FoxFi. Rooting your phone means nothing more than giving it's user the ability to grant root (administrative god) privileges to the device. Click happy people will grant root access to anything that asks for it, therefore making it a security disaster to be left available by default. The advanced user can not only be more cautious as to granting root permission, but also maintain what is and is not allowed root at any given time. If done well a user can even maintain a more secure device with root by having access to everything.

Personally I have several different applications and functionalities that require root that I wasn't trying to use when I mistakenly took the 4.4.4 OTA update. They are permanently lost to me as long as I own this device now until a new exploit is found. However, the phone is still not at all useless. It works great as a phone, text messaging device, internet browser, camera, etc... I just miss the availability of control that I no longer have after losing the option to root.

Fwiw, I actually recommend not rooting your device unless you have specific reasoning for it and intend to be extremely cautious granting root access.

Also, if anyone wonders, I did go ahead and take the Lollipop OTA. It performs amazingly and is very aesthetically pleasing!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm41907:
Very well stated. I agree with you about the uses of rooting as well as how the OTA 5.0 is performing. If you're already unrootable on 4.4.4, then you might as well upgrade to 5.0.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammguy:
It unlocks an array of possiblities that would not normally be alloud llike clean up bloatware, runing certain apps that you dont have permission to, tweaking your phone for performance, fixing bugs that were missed in recent update, xposed function for example, installing different roms, customizing the look and feel of your phone, hacking, development, security testing, just to name a few which start with root and if you have a unlocked bootloader endless possiblities especially on divice like this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammguy:
Is there any change in the strength of the signal. When i first got the device i had service everywhere along the way like many other people on here i be having issues with connection any improvement in the latest update or is it just more bloatware and beefed up security.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeSsEiCp:
I've been keeping an eye on my signal strength over the past few days. While I still have stable connectivity mostly everywhere I go, I have noticed a minor loss in signal strength. At home, my signal strength has dropped 1.5 bars on average as well as having a more difficult holding 4G (will switch to stronger 3G) in locations where 4G strength struggles.

I also noticed it switch to 3G once at my home and then switch back to 4G on it's own after 5-10 minutes and I live 1/4 mile from a cell site where I usually maintained "all bars" before Lollipop.

I haven't suffered any usage issues or bandwidth losses from this yet, but I figured I would answer your question and chime in that I have notice a minor overall signal strength loss.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammguy:

Hey guys I'm not new here but I have a serious problem here my battery only lasts abt 3 hrs.

My phone gets extremely hot and not holdable and I'm afraid the backplate will get lose (glue) it happens since I updated to lollipop.

Stamina doesn't work at all out does not help.

If I use screen mirroring and charge it discharges or if I play a game tomb raider 1 Google playstore it also gets damn hot more than mentioned above.

I noticed android os drains battery and is on the list abt 5% it sucks my battery.

Then install BBS (better battery stats, available in Google play and here on XDA) and monitor what's eating your battery.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoXion1:
Low battery life for users who have updated to Lollipop is a known issue and is affecting a variety of users on many different devices. I too have drastically decreased battery life since updating to Android 5.0.2.

What I did that made a HUGE difference:

Go to Settings / WiFi / tap three dots in upper right corner (menu) / Advanced / Keep WiFi on during sleep set to = NEVER or ONLY WHEN PLUGGED IN.

It looks like with the Lollipop update the stock Android settings take precedence over what is set in Stamina Mode. (I believe this was the other way around in Kitkat but do correct me if I'm wrong)

Last night I installed BBS and I'll keep watch closely and update here when I have more info.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusadr:
Hi all!

I have been using Quarx's CM9 for Allwinner A10 on my LY F1 clone for many years now.

I can't even remember the last time I formatted it!

Even without any significant no. of apps installed, the tablet now lags like hell for simple tasks like bringing up keyboard, typing from keyboard, etc.

I started searching online for the cause for this lag and I found this:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-fix-androids-bad-performance-and-awful-design/

So I thought, maybe since CM9 is ICS 4.0.4 based, maybe because my tablet's internal memory is not TRIMmed, my tablet has become slow.

I installed Lagfix from Google Play, but it said that:

TRIM is not supported!
TRIM is not supported on the following partitions:

/data, /cache

This is either hardware or kernel issue and cannot be worked around.

The code in the background read like so:

#fstrim -v /data
fstrim: FSTRIM Operation is not supported on transport endpoint

#fstrim -v /cache
fstrim: FSTRIM Operation is not supported on transport endpoint

I carefully took apart the back cover of the tablet and found the NAND FLASH chip which was:

Micron NAND Flash 29F64G08CBAAA

This tablet has 8GB internal memory and that Micron flash chip seems to be the internal memory cause the rest of the chips seemed to be Hynix RAM chips (This device has 512 MB RAM)

After searching for data sheet of the Micron NAND flash chip, I found it, but could not confirm if ti supports TRIM or not.

I also found the following link:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ocz/synapse_60_gb/

The SSD seems to have the same chip, but if you see in the table, it says TRIM supported so I strongly believe that this is not a hardware issue.

Which leaves us with only one option: Kernel issue and this is why I am posting here:

How to upgrade CM9 kernel to one that supports FSTRIM?

Here are details of the ROM I have installed:

Android version: 4.0.4

Kernel version: 3.0.8+paco@inet #2 Fri Apr 13 19:01:51 CST 2012

CyanogenMod version: 9-20120623-NIGHTLY-a10

Build date: Sat Jun 23 18:27:35 OMST 2012

Build number: cm_a10-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L eng.quarx.20120623_Seby-port

Please note that I am completely happy with the ROM except for the lag and I want to try to fix the lag instead of flashing it and starting over.

Thanks for your time!
