[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgottenit:
Hi,

I did google around this subject, but unfortunately that just left me very confused!

I need to enable band 3 LTE on my Nexus 4. I am running Android 4.4.2, rooted and all that. I have to stay on this version because I can't manage to share the VPN connection when tethering on other versions. (Long story).

How do I enable band 3 LTE? Complicating factor: the middle of the touchscreen is broken so I can't use the keypad properly :(.

Many thanks.

There is an app in the google playstore. It's called LTE Enabler.... Try using that
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
There is no band 3 LTE on the Nexus 4. The only LTE band the Nexus 4 is physically capable of supporting is band 4, and this was left dormant (which is why a hack is required to enable it). My guess is it has band 4 LTE because the only US carrier to offer the Nexus 4 was T-Mobile, which had the rights to use band 4 (and only band 4), but at the time of release, they hadn't yet upgraded their network yet to support LTE. So rather than jump through the FCC hoops to get it certified, they just left it dormant. Regardless, you can only get LTE on band 4 on the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacksmith5:
Of course you are correct....

I just bought T-Mobil from the secondhend shop.

It's quite cheap ad good for me.

After I leave it with charger along the night, in the morning it still 85%.

Another thing is the Battery status often reducing to ZERO and back to normal.(look ok but it's let the phone and BT off as well.)

Any idea for this?

Anybody ever met this before?

Need your help,

Maximum of Battery is 85%? I don't think so.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kdskamal:
No, something wrong with your battery. Tell the retailer that the battery is faulty and never reaches 100%.

hi I have XDA Exec. i was using it in fine way but now from few days it gets switched off in between 50-60% of battery or network goes away while talking on d fone, it goes hang smtime also, from 100% to 60 % it works fine.

I went to gaffar (well known mobile market India Delhi) one of th shopkeeper told me to change ROM. now i m using 2.02.02 ROM still same Prob.

HI Kamaldeep. if u can avail me ne genuin link to helmi 3.5.1 rom. i want to upgrade. or please help me with the difference between 2.02.02 and helmi 3.5.1. i will b thankfull to u
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Dane_sober:
my problem was solved when i flashed my rom, in my case WM6

then it would reach 100% again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kdskamal:
Blokes at Gaffar are IMHO, illiterates. AFAIK, no ROM introduced changes in battery monitoring :p How can a ROM make your faulty battery work nicely?

I don't know why? but that's 100% now.

Very thanks for all discussion, after I post this problem here I go back to try another 5 or 6 Roms Upgrading.

I'm not sure is it about the Rom issue, But for now it back to normal.

My present is...

ROM version : 2.60.10 WWE

ROM date: 12/20/06

Ratio version : 1.15.00

Prorocal version : 42.51.P8

ExtROM version : -

I have tried many many ROM, so for now I can't remember this one is from where?

But very Thanks for your ROM...

It's not immediately 100% after finished the ROM upgrade, it still max at 85%.

But on the way I back home in the evening, I notice that the Battery step down more slow than ever.

And in this morning I take look at the screen, cool 100%.

Has anyone been able to get google hangouts to send pictures? When i send someone a mms, I immediately receive this text..

I don't use Hangouts much, so I may be totally off base here.

But Who/where are you sending to. The screen shot you are showing has a +1 in it and that may be seen as a country code.

Is +13344 a contact name, if it is, it may be a bad choice.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagawaben:
I'm still pretty new to Android so I don't know what is normal, but why does the system use so much RAM when it is supposedly doing nothing? On my 2GB model, after a reboot it says that 1.2GB are free, but this soon drops to 900MB and continues to drop to 500 or 600MB, even if all apps are closed. Is this something I should just ignore and trust that tge Android system knows best and uses RAM appropriately?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielKennethRego:
This must be the well-publicised Android 5.0.x memory leak.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagawaben:
Possibly, but my Memo Pad 7 seems much the same, and that's still on 4.4.2
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphO:
If there is free memory then Android will let the apps sit in memory invisibly even after you have closed them - this way they will load faster next time you launch them. If the amount of free memory gets low Android will close some of those invisible apps. So that is normal, unless the amount of free RAM keeps decreasing while you do nothing with it - in that case there must be some bad memory leak.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda_husky:
In android, unused memory is kind of waste so system will allocate usage in a high percentage for efficiency.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
It is not a memory leak. All devices which are on papers 2GB are actually less than that. Take memory for example. My Nexus says 32GB but I get around 27GB. Same goes on with USB flash drivers/ pen drives.

Secondly, On Windows, you want to keep as much RAM available as you can so that programs have enough room to operate. When RAM fills up, Windows is forced to start using hard drive space as virtual RAM and hard drives are much slower than physical RAM.

This is not true for Android.

Android’s operating system has its own native handler for assigning RAM to apps and making sure that all of it is being used in the most optimal way. In fact, Android purposely tries to keep apps loaded into RAM for better performance. RAM is fast, remember? On mobile devices, every bit of speed is critical for a good user experience, so keeping apps in RAM is actually a good thing. So regardless how much your RAM is shown, it wouldn't affect your user experience unless the apps installed in your phone are more than RAM can handle at a time which means either update your phone with more RAM or uninstall your apps that you do not use!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielKennethRego:
That is not what OP is saying, at all.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
The OP says that the memory decreases over time. If you read my post again, i simply said as you more applications are loaded over time, the memory starts to decrease! This is what causes the memory to decrease and if you could use a bit of logic, you could have easily come to the conclusion
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielKennethRego:
...And that is not what I quoted in my reply, is it?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
Sometimes it's good to swallow some pride and in that there's more dignity. I explained everything from bits and pieces and I'm sure OP can conclude it unlike you.

Do not hesitate to quote me for any query. Always welcomed
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloy99:
I must say, although most of what you say is true, having less free ram absolutely does have a negative effect on user experience. My browser tends to crash, non-intensive games face lag spikes and the general UI stutters. Is this due to Android or Asus' tweaks to Android doing a poor job at managing ram? I don't doubt that in a perfect scenario with a perfect OS, what you said holds true.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damian5000:
I've not had good experience with the RAM so far. My browser tabs fall out of memory more than my cheap 1GB phone. It's rather disappointing. Even just switching between 2 or 3 tabs and going back to a tab after a few seconds and it's already fallen out.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
Yes as I mentioned before, if the apps which are preloaded are more than RAM can handle, you'd surely see a lag but killing background apps wouldn't be of much help either unless your RAM memory has too many preloaded apps already which is affecting performance of your phone. If you are rooted, apps like greenify / titanium can hibernate / freeze apps which take up memory and usually this helps in better user interface but again many other argue the opposite.

Are you using Asus Browser ? If yes, I'd suggest to use chrome as your default browser because Asus Browser is not only slow but also it drains a lot of battery. This has been proven extensively and even reviewed on different websites including gsmarena.

Basically Nexus provides pure Android interface which every manufacturer tweaks a bit according to their own needs. Usually this tweaking means more memory usage(Ram) by system UI. This is one reason that Samsung's touch wiz lags a lot on lower end phones but the same hardware runs smooth without touchwiz. The reason is Samsung has lots of tweaks in system UI .

Some browsers conserve memory by only keeping the tab used in memory and rest are loaded when you switch them. They aren't preloaded but usually this option is available in settings to preload pages which would use more memory.

I have preordered the device with 4gb so I'm afraid I can't compare your device with mine in this regard.

Kindly tell me which browsers are you using so I can comment further
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damian5000:
Using Chrome. That's the whole point of having more memory, so they don't have to be reloaded when switching.

If I had 10 tabs open and switching back and forth over a long period of time, this is understandable. Not 2 or 3 tabs and switching between two tabs within 10 seconds. Defeats the entire purpose of having 2GB of RAM. The same thing happens switching between apps. Many of them fall out of memory within just a few seconds of switching back and forth. My 1GB phone does better than this. Something to do with whatever memory management Asus has set up.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
I understand your frustrations and it could be Asus related buy I think this is how chrome operates generally so it's the browser in my opinion. I suggest you use dolphin browser (not mini version) because it usually preloads pages on my devices and it is fast as well but I usually use it for flash support only. I prefer opera classic (now opera) on my phone with chrome . On my tab, I use chrome only. It always works for me and it's Asus made. Tell me what you think of it after using it a bit . I like chrome for its sync support which is very simple and helpful.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloy99:
Using Firefox, I read about the stock browser issues before getting the phone.

Clearing ram using the built in booster appears to help with performance, although it could be a placebo, and it's certainly less pronounced than on my previous phone with only 1GB of ram.

I have greenify'd/frozen a lot of apps, including some of the Asus bloatware. No comment on improved performance though.

Overall, I'm happy with the performance but low ram still seems to bother me, although such scenarios are rare.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
I think you are more worried about RAM that is left in your memory rather than actual performance. This can happen especially if you had very high expectations from this phone. According to ASUS, this is a midrange phone on their website. Not a flagship if you are hoping!

I suggest check the performance by installing some heavy graphic games and see if it lags or not. I am sure that would be the best way to find out!

Good Luck!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TOT_tomdora:
The browser pages redrawing is almost certainly the lollipop memory leak. I don't have a zenfone 2 yet, but my nexus 7 had this problem up until the release of 5.1, so hopefully Asus updates to that soon.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pato2015:
i notice when i uninstalled clean master..my ram always on 1 gb free unlike before it stays at 650..700 free...notice my phone is even faster now:)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aceofzeroz:
Correct, thank you for finally making that point clear as it's the main reason, which clearly isn't Asus' fault.:cool:

An ironic, yet awesome find pato!:D:thumbup: Be sure to relay this to the other places on the net that you're involved with that pertains to the Zenfone 2.;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flroots:
I tried out CM12 for my Sprint S4 (L720). I was able to root it, but never able to install TWRP and make a Nandroid. I then decided to Odin (V3.09) back to stock with the file 720VPUFNG2_L720SPTFNG2_L720VPUFNG2_HOME.tar.md5. Odin completed with the PASS message displayed. Upon reboot, it got stuck at the words 'SAMSUNG' after playing a musical note. I've tried Odin several time and each time it Passes, but with the same stuck on reboot symptom. Any hints on how to resolve would be appreciated.

As an aside, I've also tried to Odin TWRP several times thinking I could restore a prior stock Nandroid if I could get into TWRP recovery. Again, Odin displayed PASS, but phone cannot enter recovery. It just goes back to the stuck reboot when pressing the enter recovery buttons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
You have to wipe your internal SD after installing a Lollipop ROM. Go back into Download Mode and install TWRP again, this time make sure Auto Reboot is not checked. After it says PASS, disconnect the phone from PC and remove the battery. Replace the battery and hold Power and Volume Up until it goes into recovery. Wipe the Internal SD, system, data, cache, and dalvik cache and flash your ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flroots:
Thanks. I did exactly as you said, but following the Odin of TWRP it just goes into stuck boot mode instead of TWRP recovery. It says PASS each time. I was sure to uncheck Auto Reboot and I also removed the battery the instant PASS was displayed. Any more ideas greatly appreciated. I seems amazing that it says PASS, but nothing changes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
It's not supposed to boot, when you turn the phone on hold Power and Vol Up until you see Recovery Booting in blue at the top of the screen and then release. Just like booting into Download Mode but you hold Volume Up instead.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flroots:
Thanks again. Yes, I follow your instructions, but it goes into stuck boot instead of recovery when pushing the correct buttons. I've used the buttons to go into recovery previously so don't think I'm getting that part wrong. As you say, it's just like going into Downloader mode except you use VolUp instead of VolDn.

Unpacks everything in the root of the INTERNAL memory.

Install framaroot , select " Gandalf ",If a dialog appears saying " sucess "

,then reboot your device.

then install "terminal"

in the terminal type:

su (enter) ( will ask root permissions) then write :

cd /sdcard/ ( enter)

sh cwm.sh (enter)

(wait until it says "done ! " )

you have installed CWM recovery .

So, I installed framaroot, I selected the gandalf exploit. Nothing seems to happen, just the app crash and send me back to my home screen. The same with the other exploit.

What can I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Young S6310] Mr,bluwe:
After the crash go and reboot and check if there is a new app installed (superSU or superuser)..

Psst: go and check if USB debugging is working, you can find it in setting> developer's options> USB debugging..make sure its working because its important for framaroot to work correctly.
