[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dementeddigital:
So I made the mistake of "upgrading" my Note 4 to Lollipop, and now it's almost deaf. It can't seem to get a good signal from the network anymore. It's constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to the network. It constantly drops calls, and it's basically useless as a phone now.

Some background:

The phone was fine on Kit Kat. I did the OTA update to 5.0.1 and I had this problem, as well as overheating and bad performance. I rolled it back to Kit Kat, but it was never quite the same. I think that the OTA update did something to the modem firmware (baseband?), but I don't know for sure if that would be the case. When 5.1.1 was available, I thought that maybe this was fixed, so I upgraded again, but the phone is still deaf. I wiped the cache and also did a factory reset on the phone, but nothing has really helped. I'm hoping that someone here can steer me in the right direction.

The phone is an international version (SM-N910H). The carrier is Cricket (AT&T network).

Is there anything that I can do to get it back to having a reliable connection again?

Can I flash a US version's firmware? (The modem hardware might be different, so I'm not sure.)

Is there any way to configure the modem's settings?

I certainly don't mind rooting and doing a little hacking. I'm an engineer, but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the nuts and bolts of Android.

I appreciate any help you can offer.

I enabled System and superuser mode in Xperia Lolipop module, how to setup this theme?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] abo hani:
Make sure to reboot after enabling SuperUserMod, after that just apply my theme.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] kingsasha:
Yes i know i rebooted my phone, i just need to know how to disable this theme and get back to stock themes
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] markakash:

Those didn't change!!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] abo hani:
It won't, cuz i didn't add AOSP SystemUI feature in it, you can install the modded SystemUI from my other thread, and if you are asking about the brightness slider icon, it's a bug from Sony, check my bro Ambor's thread about the solution.
[General Accessories] daiash:
Recently visited the USA and pick up a Moga pro power controller from Target for 43 bucks.

From what I gather it's very similar to an xbox 360 controller, was wording if anyone has both to compare side by side, as I'm thinking about getting an xbox 360 controller carry case for it but I'm worried it may not fit?

Any kind of info or help would be great!

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/ don't see the Z3v in the short list.

Why not the Z3v too?
[Xperia Z3v General] mrrodgersss:
If we can't even get lollipop, why on earth would you expect marshmallow? Not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to be realistic.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
Agreed this 509 firmware is stagefright patched and was built like 5 weeks ago and its 5.0.2 I think this is all were getting and since the Z4v is no longer coming out I belive 5.0.2 is the end of the road for the Z3v. This 509 firmware is good though.
[Xperia Z3v General] zachariahpope:
I can understand your frustration, but I wouldn't take it for 100% that Sony is intentionally excluding the Z3V... They will probably send the marshmallow firmware to Verizon, and because of that, we'll probably never receive it unless we get a lucky leak, but I doubt that because I don't think it'll even be a candidate for Internal Testing as I'm sure Verizon plans to push Lollipop, fulfill their year old promises, and be done with their EOL device.. so even if Sony does send them the firmware, Verizon is most likely going to sit on it until it's buried... But you have to think with articles like these, even if they are press statements from Sony, it's still likely that they could leave out the Z3V unintentionally because even though its a variant of the Z3, by saying the Z3 is getting the update, they could be collectively including the Z3V along with that... but either way, I agree that we'll most likely never get this update, and that sucks.... But I do think Verizon is going to give us the latest Lollipop for sure.... There's no reason not to jump it to 5.1.1 if Sony gave them the firmware, it's not a major update... I think they just wanted a solid Lollipop build in "testing" (an intentional leak out there to collect usage stats from people bold enough to flash it) with stagefright patches, etc to make sure they had a solid build before putting the finishing touches on the firmware. There is a different Kernel in the .509 version than the .485, as well as some other interesting differences that make me think they're gearing it for the latest Lolllipop... and really as long as we get that with working VOLTE.... I can be happy enough with that.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
the thought did cross my mind that they would update 509 the rest of the way to 5.1.1 now that stagefright patch is out for z3 5.1.1 because it may be bad for business to have us on firmware we shouldn't have. I don't even care really Verizon made me sick with this shiit I guess I have to get a nexus phone next but I'm not doing that till they firgure out how to but an SD card in a phone. And thank you for your work and getting the ball rolling on Lollipop.
[Xperia Z3v General] zachariahpope:
Thanks so much for the recognition. :) Somehow my leaked FTF of Lollipop was taken down, so I wasn't even sure if people still knew that I was the one that brought us that first Lollipop leak. I'm going to build us an amazing rom too.. I'm just waiting on Verizon to push their official build so that I won't be wasting my time building an outdated rom lol... U know like last time :/
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
you know are phones should be pretty close to being able to be unlocked by Verizon I was looking on eBay and there are unlocked Z3V's I dont know if they kept the drm keys but anyway once they release the final version..and we get our bootloader unlocked then we can go crazy. (edit)Unless that's a carrier unlock Im not sure if that unlocks the bootloader or if their the same.
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
FWIW VoLTE is working, for me at least, on .509 so I think we're getting really close to the official release.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
while your here are you rooted and have you deleted any system apps I'm curious...I know you had advanced calling before on your plan so that part makes sense.
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
rooted yes, froze a few apps, mostly vzw with tibu but nothing deleted.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I think they mean carrier unlocked, which all vzw phones are now, since like the Galaxy S4. Boot loader and carrier unlock are two completely different things.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
my girlfriends droid turbo just received android 5.1 -

It was written on September 1st one day after ours was (509)-5.0.2 so maybe........ Soon or not it's Verizon.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
http://phandroid.com/2015/10/07/sony-xperia-marshmallow-beta/ So the Z3 and Z3 compact are getting beta testing already.

Maybe leaked Marshmallow FTF for the Z3v soon.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Just though all the kids on here would like to know that there is a 6.0 release over the 5.1.1, after all numbers mean so much on this forum.

:good:

Didn't mean to kill the thunder of the leaked beta Lollipop.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
I wasn't trying to be rude either I have had this phone for almost a year since it first came out and have received no support for this phone at all I have spent literally hundreds of hours trying to fix this phone myself because verzions incompetence I'm not sure for the reason for the leak or how it happened but I doubt very much we will receive 6.0 and I don't really give a **** I would just like them to realease a Lollipop version so I can have a feature I was promised a year ago -advanced calling. Also quick charge 2.0 is a listed feature- it's not. Verizon = Liars. Look at the Z4v that's a disaster to.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
I am pretty tough skinned, it takes more than what you said to be considered "rude" to me.

I agree B.S. what VZW has done with the Advanced Calling 1.0, I am tired of getting the stepchild phones and VZW keeping us from getting the next OS release due to heavy-handed control. I mean Z3 getting a beta test for Marshmallow, seriously? Maybe the guy who got the leak can get Marshmallow leak, but I would like to have the latest OS if possible and I am sure others will agree.

An AOSP with a unlocked bootloader, I miss those days.
[Xperia Z3v General] Marea01:
Is this bogus?

Hi I'm new to xda developers forum. Is this site BS that claims to offer a 6.0 rom for Z3v?

Since I'm new, I'm not allowed to share the link but it's from

android-xda.net
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
If it was real we would have heard about it. If it is still wait until it shows up here on XDA.
[Xperia Z3v General] ermal666:
It is fake
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
Man it was so great to have the Droid when it first came out. ROM competition was tremendous and you could lead anything you wanted; if you could dream it, someone was already working on it.

I have 4 of those beauts!
[Xperia Z3v General] Deleted member 2069569:
I have a similar experience. My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus, it was an embarrassment of riches as far as being able to modify it. Different ROMs everywhere you looked, modified kernels, etc... Thanks to baldwinguy77 I was running KitKat 3 days after Google introduced it, even before any manufacturers had released phones with it.

The Xperia's lack of popularity with the general public is probably the cause of it's noticeable lack of developer interest. Few devs have one so few work on it.

I really like the phone, it's battery life is second to none. I may have to be satisfied running Lollipop but at least it is rooted so there's that.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Found this today, don't know if the journalist got Z3 happy and hit the "v" 'cause it was in an old article and they just thought it fit, you decide. -- http://www.ibtimes.com/android-60-marshmallow-update-official-list-samsung-sony-lg-htc-motorola-devices-2247296, parent article http://www.gsmarena.com/the_big_android_60_marshmallow_update_list_start_of_2016_edition-news-15786.php

Of course Android "N" will be out before we see Lollipop Official Final.

The person that leaked the Lollipop .ftf can you leak the Marshmallow .ftf?

I am happy to admit I was possibly wrong on this one.

(addition) I have since done more searching and still see on most sites that the Z3v is not listed to receive Marshmallow.
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
Well give don't a call and see if the device is to receive an update. Does their website have a drop list like they did for lollipop last year?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
The one who leaked stock Lollipop on here actually got it from someone else. It was from user on a Vietnamese tech forum. I've seen him posting Lollipop screens before any of us ever got it and I never ever knew how the guy every got a hold of the ROM.

If the Z3v isn't getting Marshmallow, that's that.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
I just wonder if Vietnam ever got the final release?

You would think there would be one seeing there is the release candidates.

I keep searching for anything but nothing yet.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Edit: http:// Android M 6.0 Marshmallow Update Release Date for Sony Xperia ...
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Still some encouragement.

Remember I am just passing on what I read.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Your link is broken. I can't access it even if I copy and pasted.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Try this, was in a hurry -- http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/61259/20160108/android-m-6-0-marshmallow-update-release-date-for-sony-xperia-z5-xperia-z4-z3-know-how-to-install-aosp-custom-rom.htm

Makes it sound as if though the Z3v is in line to get M.

Used search criteria "android m sony z3v."
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I really wonder if anyone has ever tried flashing Z2 roms. It's thing to try on instead of the Z3, but just saying because of the same production code.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Here is where you can find the binaries for AOSP for Sony devices-- http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/, https://github.com/sonyxperiadev?tab=repositories

I don't see a source code for the Z3v though.

After doing a lot of searching I find that the Z3v had the same internal code name as the Z2 (Sirius), "Leo" was the Z3, it's as if Sony created a monster like Dr. Frankenstein and then burned it with torches 'cause it sold.

If you look at the source link (first link) and click on the Marshmallow (or any) build you will see a list of Sony phones and the Z3v is not even listed on Sony's own development internal list.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I've spoken with a developer and it wouldn't be a good idea to still mix the two since they are deeply different with the files that make up the roms.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
I guess the point is being missed, yes the Z2, Z3 and the Z3v are different, "deeply" (the AOSP is for the Z series), might not be the best choice of a word to use, most parts are the same just modules for hardware are most likely different, modules can be inserted into builds to form a ROM, I am not going to second guess your source but I do believe that a ROM could be cobbled together using parts borrowed from the Lollipop ROM we have and combining them with a Marshmallow ROM.

Ask the developer to elaborate on these "deep differences."

I do realize that in AOSP that paths change for modules and locations of modules, and the hardware modules may differ in paths/location but but not function.
[Xperia Z3v General] ShdwWolf:
So I called/chatted with Verizon customer service every month last year and both months so far this year about receiving the update. FINALLY got a rep who didn't just give me the "I'm sorry you're having problems with your Sony device" BS. Back in November 2014 when I first got my Z3v, I was told advanced calling would be coming within the next few months. 15 months later and I'm still waiting. The rep today told me that Verizon and Sony could not come to an agreement regarding the features Verizon required for the update, and therefore the update was scrapped and they decided to not continue a relationship for the Z4v. So... how's AT&T these days?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Did you bother to ask if they can go into more details about the relationship? Does it all end with the Z4v? Will it still continue for the eventual release of the Z5/Z6?
[Xperia Z3v General] ShdwWolf:
That was all the information he could give me. Paul was his name, in case anyone is curious. I love my Z3v, but there are so many times I needed mobile web while on the phone...
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
There's ever a rare chance to contact the same rep you were in touch with. Especially on just a first name basis, there could be hundreds of "Pauls" working at Verizon.

VoLTE is already been out, you just need to update it to Lollipop. You can read my guide for your one way ticket in resolving all the issues by taking less than 10 steps to getting Lollipop and Advanced Calling activated through Verizon afterwards.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Agree, the need is there and we should be able to do it as promised, without doing a leaked release candidate, which by the way VZW says that Advanced Calling 1.0 is not available for the Z3v as of yet. I know some say it will work on the R4C but VZW contends it should not.

The phone is a nice phone, with a few problems such as camera overheating, USB door failure etc..

We could have marshmallow by now if it weren't for the locked bootloader which VZW insisted on.

Letter to FCC is forthcoming.
[Xperia Z3v General] ShdwWolf:
If Paul really was even really his name. I've tried to root/unlock/etc, but I get a buttload of errors if I try. I'll try your method again.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I updated my guide not too long ago, simplifying from the original method down to less than 10 steps to get where you need to be in a go without much required attention to the computer. So give it a shot.
[Xperia Z3v General] :
When Verizon released the Galaxy Nexus it proved to be somewhat borked with all the Verizon bloat installed on it and it's lower than a typical Nexus specs. After Google criticized Verizon publicly both Verizon and Google said there would never be another Verizon Nexus, but a few years later they sold the Nexus 6. I guess never say never where smartphones are concerned.
[Xperia Z3v General] gregbradley:
Thread closed (For a while) and cleaned to let people cool off.

Please take any private arguments to PMs and not the open forum. However, keep it nice in PMs as well. You can still report offensive PMs to the MODs

However, a quick note on this post

Please read this post from kyphur , a retired senior moderator.

This IS a place where people are into rooting, flashing and hacking. If you want to complain to the manufacturers, do so, to them, on their website. You will not find any manufacturers on this site....
[Xperia Z3v General] gregbradley:
Thread re-opened, hopefully we can continue this thread civilly.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
What I rarely see discussed on these threads is what the expectations are from these updates, and if the wait or trouble is actually worth it. Certainly I understand VoLTe and the security patches, but I didn't find much in the UI (in general) of Lollipop that was so much better than Kitkat.

I'll go look it up, but what's everyone looking forward to, improvement wise, from Marshmallow over Lollipop?

Just researched and it seems to me SD card integration is the biggest selling point, as it's definitely amajor shortcoming in Lollipop.
[Xperia Z3v General] Xenosis:
Better sleep management via doze, cumulated bug fixes, 5Ghz hotspot to name a few.
[Xperia Z3v General] alexpoe:
When I had my LG G3, it had a locked boot loader and we installed a custom recovery like the dual recovery on the z3v. But on the LG we could install roms and kernels through the custom recovery. I'm have not got into rom building, so why couldn't we install non stock roms on the z3v?
[Xperia Z3v General] gregbradley:
Custom kernels are unable to boot on locked bootloaders on xperia devices. Attempts at kexec (Which I assume was the method to do it on the LG) were unsuccessful and dev stopped onit about 2 years ago (AFAIK)
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
I'm assuming you're talking about BUMP or its later equivalent? There was quite a bit of discussion as to whether it was a bypass or a "full"unlock so it wasn't like LDR but more like an actual unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
I haven't heard the reply from Verizon yet as to the FCC letter, keep missing calls and can't seem to touch base yet, Verizon must have an answer and a possible solution since they are reaching out so soon.

Again will let all know when I get the information.
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
I've already spoke to Verizon in regards to the FCC complaint I submitted that was similar to yours. They offered the same answers and no solution or timeline in sight. If you want I can give you the executive relations number that deals with this with direct extension
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Is it ext#2221740? Or something close to that? David?

I think if I don't get a satisfactory response, I will then contact the FCC regarding Sony.

Will be interesting to see who squirms the most.

My goal is to force one of them to release the final build of Lollipop or a version of Marshmallow. It worked with LG and the Spectrum and different Android update.

I have lots of time.
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
It was someone named Gesento. Extra 2141306. Yeah I'll put one in on sony mobile too then.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Just got an offer of a Galaxy S5 from Verizon in exchange for the Sony Z3v.

We are considering the trade, would like something newer but I can see Verizon's point, a top tier phone from the same era, man phones evolve so fast.

So if you want to get a GS5 I can give you the exact spiel we used, of course change it some to reflect your own words.
