Testing this radio: Day 9 or Week 2 - Depends on how you want to look at it...

Here's an update after more than a week's worth of usage. I can't find anything to complain about this radio.

Reception bars: Almost always at full. Even underground where I usually get no reception, there's at least 1 or 2 bars.

Power usage: Much better than when I was at 1.47.00.10. I can easily last over a day with fairly heavy usage (see my earlier post for my definition of heavy usage).

Data transfers and connection speed: Much faster response in connecting to data. Also, data transfers are faster (still need to take time to numerically gauge it first) and I notice that lag is slightly reduced.

Voice call quality: This is where I'm very impressed. Clarity, quality, and volume of call is greatly improved over 1.47.00.10.

Unless something else comes out that is much better or if the provider breaks some functionality of this radio, this one is definitely a keeper for me!

Hope this helps!

:cool: Quakie

Fine for Vodafone.de

Hi,

I thought I hit in with my report.

I'm using it since Monday 11:30 where I did a full charge. Now at 04.10 17:30 still 20% left. 3G is enabled, WiFi around 1 hour every evening and some calls (~30 Minutes total). No missed calls and good speech quality.

Update: Battery drop down at 05.10 11:00, so 5 days without charging and average use it quiet good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] yans:
i had to go back to v1.50 due to lack of 3g connectivity.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Starfury:
errrr, 1.54 is out now, check the post in this forum... its works well for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walts:
I downgraded the radio, not to 1.40 but to 1.48 following Meanie's suggestion, since that is the radio version AT&T ships with the 3.6 ROM.

Performance with EAS seems better, it does not lose the connection as often, and more importantly, it picks the connection back up again without requiring a restart of the Active Sync program.

Based on only one day, battery life is better than 1.51 but not as good as 1.40. After 11 hours I had a 50% charge left. That's with only the 3g radio going and EAS running, no phone calls and reading a few e-mails, maybe 5 minutes total.

I have a Samsung galaxy s5 and a Samsung Gear 2 (with camera)

My Samsung is on a AOSP Custom ROM (Exodus)

My gear 2 is on tizen.

Obviously the two won't speak to each other because Samsung is too stubborn. My only 2 options are;

Opt 1: Move back to touch wiz so I can use the phone and watch in sync (which I really don't want to do)

Or;

Opt 2: flash android wear on my gear 2 but lose camera functionality (which I really don't want to lose)

There is a hidden option also, which is almost a last resort and that is to buy the new moto 360 as they're currently on offer near me.

What do you guys suggest I do?

Please clear my head ffs!

Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Salsa King:
Arry87 I'm sorry for your inconvenience. Honestly what I would do if I were in this situation is buy the new moto 360 so that way you could at least have that device and the s5 speak to each other. If you don't want to go in that direction the next thing I would choose is to flash the android wear on your gear 2. I know you will loose the camera functionality but at least you can sync the photos and stuff that you take. You can sync your stuff either with a computer or another device with that capability. Hopefully I helped you out a little bit and cleared some things up for you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arry87:
Thanks dude, I just looked that the shops website and I believe it is the old moto 360 (which still isn't a problem as I like the design)

The only issue I have with flashing wear to my gear 2 is that its still very buggy and some features still don't work.

I'm going to take your advice and flash it tonight, at least then, like you said, the two devices will talk to each other. I mean, the camera is a nice feature but in reality, functionality is more of a priority.

Thanks again Salsa King

Not finding updates to freeze

I installed google play last week using Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip. I rooted just now so I could block updates but I am not finding these three listed in TitaniumBU:

com.amazon.device.software.ota

com.amazon.settings.systemupdates

com.amazon.device.software.ota

Would those have been deleted with last weeks version of the play store.zip I noticed blocking OTA is now listed on the .zip, I don't recall seeing it last week tho. I just want to make sure to kill the proper OTA updates.

I've read thru the system options to freeze in TBU and I see some called:

"DeviceSoftwareOTA 6.0.188.0_6037810",

"com.amazon.otaverifier 5.1-37.5.2.2_user_522054520", and

"system updates 1.0.78.0_20210"

but I don't have nearly enough knowledge to know what exactly those mean. I have wifi turned off for now just to be sure nothing sneaks thru.

Thanks!

You don't, because the next update will more than likely remove the method we used to get root working.
[Fire General] Vlasp:
I am pretty sure this way of rooting can never be patched/removed, because all Boot.imgs can be modified to make the system R/W, and from there we can root.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
never say never, but it should at least be difficult to block
[Fire General] Vlasp:
Yeah, the only way I can think that this way of root will be patched is if Amazon requires a specific signature for booting Boot.IMGs.

should just enabled ota apks

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve austin:
This problem is not only happening with my Edge, but for several Note 4 users I know as well. Even my 10.1 2014 edition tablet started cutting off. After not knowing what was happening I just happened to look at the reviews for a couple of apps that updated on their own within the past month. Go look at the google play services app reviews. Almost everything that is going wrong with my phone is described in the (lengthy) negative comments regarding the newest update. Lagging, cut offs...the works.

My phone shows me in the neighborhood of 20 percent. I'm on the phone with 25% and the phone cuts off. I play a youtube video and 2 second later the phone cuts off. But it is not a regular cut off like a standard recharge, it goes in to a perpetual boot loop of on and off until I put it in charge mode. Sometimes it is actually at zero percent but more often than not there is 15% there but the thing just cuts off. This is super annoying and crippling my phone experience. I have not seen an article yet (it was two weeks ago I really checked) to see if an android source picked up the story but the Google play services app commentary is virtually all 1 stars and complaints. Does anyone know of a fix for this? This has got to be addressed.

Note: this post was taken from another tread. However, it did not focus on my particular issue.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanpower:
Since the phone was released, there has been three updates to the OS. I got the first one out of the box like most, but the following two have not graced my device.

Has anyone else gotten the OTA's for these builds?

I find it interesting on which devices get certain waves of the rollout of these OTA's.

Thanks!

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tidbits:
You sure there are 3 updates and not regional updates?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanpower:
I am looking here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#bullhead could these be regional ones?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Those are not regional updates.

The original, the first post-release, and then the November security update. Not sure where to account for the fourth.

I'm surprised they didn't pull the first one since flashing its radio enables Band 12.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanpower:
I really want to know what each of them adds and why I haven't received neither of them! Hmmm.

Do you or anyone know where a changelog would maybe be?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
The first one disables Band 12, along with whatever else Google wanted to change. The most recent one just released today so you'll likely be prompted for an OTA shortly, and it's a security release.

There might be a changelog somewhere but I don't have a link to it on hand, ;)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanpower:
MDA89E was ship OS

MDB08I Disabled Band 12 and whatnot when it was delivered.

MDB08L is the one in question, what was this one?

MDB08M is the newest one that is a security release, that one is the one we are waiting on right now.

Wondering if it's safe to allow the OTA update if phone is rooted, decrypted, considering there seems to be a boot.img patch? If not, can it be done via adb without losing root?

I never got a notification for M so i finally decided to throw the SIM back in.

From what I've read no one on VZW has gotten an update yet. The only way to get one is factory reset and no SIM during setup or swap the sim out for a different provider. Just removing the SIM does not work.
