Slow data speed on band 12

Anyone else out there getting less than 5mbs dowlad & upload on Tmob band 12?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
I read a comment on that's around the speed your going to get.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubas0279:
Can any of you guys confirm that VoLTE is working? I received the stock OTA yesterday by removing the sim card first, Band 12 is enabled (I can see it using LTE Discovery), the Enhanced 4G LTE Mode option is enabled, but every time I make or receive a call the phone drops LTE and changes to H and 3G. Isn't it supposed to keep LTE during the call if VoLTE is working?

I'm in Miami, FL.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najoor:
Can someone with a rooted T-mobile branded Nexus 6 share the contents of the /oem directory please? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
mines empty, /oem/ that is..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najoor:
Thanks for trying, I am surprised though because when you look at the T-mobile build prop you see references like these:

import /oem/oem.prop ro.config.ringtone

import /oem/oem.prop ro.config.notification_sound

import /oem/oem.prop ro.config.alarm_alert

import /oem/oem.prop ro.config.wallpaper

import /oem/oem.prop ro.config.wallpaper_component

import /oem/oem.prop ro.oem.*

import /oem/oem.prop oem.*

I was hoping to find all the T-Mobile customization in the /oem directory (like boot logo, ringtones, etc.) because when you open the published T-Mobile factory images you don't see any of those included.

Are you looking into that folder as root? Do you know where else those customization files may be?

Thanks again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim489:
The T-Mobile nexus 6 didn't have anything in there, I believe. They didn't add anything like AT&T did. I think the build.prop only had those entries because it was easier to just have the lines than not, just a generic kind of thing. Maybe.

I just thought I'd take a moment (one previously spent fiddling with my phone) to say well done and thank you to both Tom_Codon and meschle. Which ever flavour of ROM you've decided to put on your device I'm sure you'll agree that it has breathed new life into it.

I for one feel as if I just got a new phone. I haven't soft reset since Friday (which is a shame as I do like my animated splash screens), all my apps are set up, my home screen is just the way I like it....... so what do I do now?

Congratulations guys your efforts are much appreciated and I for one look forward to finding something more constructive to do with my time than hard-resetting my phone (well for a week or two anyway).

Cheers

Matt
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Underwaterdub:
I totally agree with you!

It's really amazing what these guys have created.. I don't know what would make my phone better than now. It's nearly perfect, just as I need it as my constant companion.

In this way, thanks mates..
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] chandlercjh:
lets be careful though

.....come on guys, I know the likes of Tom and Meschle are fantastic guys - with a lot of skill....but lets not make their heads TOO big....lol

If we big them up too much HTC might hear about them and take them away from us:(
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Johny1fin:
I think Tom and many other cooks etc are well able to beef up the skills in HTC etc, but would not last long there.

Tom likes to produce new roms every month, but will be told 'that feature you just cooked is fantastic. We can sell that as the the new feature in next years model. We dont release new features unless we can sell them with hardware'
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] meschle:
Thanks matt - this is encouraging :) Lets not forget fracoon - hope you finish your rom soon your beta is very promising :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] danny92:
Well, I only know this forum for 2 weeks, but I could say that I am really impressed of the great work done on these ROMs.

I can't imagine the amount of work it is, but for sure the result is amazing :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] terabaap:
I'd like to put my 2 pennies in as well...

Thanks guys, tom meschle, fracoon and who ever else there is... i've had my xda orbit for a while, had other xda's b4, and work with loads of xda's, but since joining this forum, my xda has hit another level...

the time and effort u guys put in, my hat goes off to u guys... ive bin trying to cook my own rom, but failed miserabley, but i'll keep trying... im sure uguys will help:)

thanks again guys... ;)

I can see a new MTV show coming soon; Pimp My PPC :cool:

Bunch of Cordon Bleu chefs in the kitchen taking some sad old OEM XDA and cooking away until voila! A new pimped-up device handed over to the poor ole charity case that will be able to now proudly be seen once more down the pub with his mates (a position for me I think :D )

Respect Gents, you make a good product so much better ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] RAMBO29:
Thanks to all

I also wish to thank all the people,who make ROMs and which happen to be much better than the original one.:)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] dchui:
This forum is a knowledge base for those who owns Pocket PCs. At times it is better than the manufacturers' support pages. To those who have created the Cook ROMS, you guys has shown a thing or two of how to make a ROM stable. Keep the good work.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] uliba:
If i can i would give 1000 Stars to the xda forum!!!

Is is the best i personally know and i deeply hope from the bottom of my heart that out friends like tom_condon and coolgadget come back.

There are only a few people kicking at the the forum - and most of us live the right spirit of the forum!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] patxi_80:
I think that it is interesting to buying a htc thanks to this forum because with original roms does not work well. 1000 stars to xda. We have new phones thanks to developers of the forum.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] pjd:
RESPECT

I absolutely agree with macguffin.

I've had tom's bb3.7 and 4.0, and I was totaly amazed! Until I join the xda forum I had my device with slow wm5, but now THANKS TO LOCAL GUYS I have brand new Artemis - I couldn't even imagine anything like this before. Now I have Meschle's ROM(seems better for me). I'm also sad that a lot of "internet newbies"(don't know how to search and ask) comes here but heads up guys...it's everywhere. I think if we stick together we can make this forum better!

Thank to all of you here who spend your nights with pimping our devices. You show me new way of using my phone. I don't wanna call your names because I know there are a lot of members who want to share their knowledge - no matter how they are skilled.

I'm sorry for my english, it probably isn't too good to describe my feelings. :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Gajet:

Thanks to the chefs. Also many thanks to the developers who make the tools, which make these ROM's possible, thanks to Bepe, Pof, A_C, Gullum and NNcuong to mention just a few.

Cm 12.1 (imho)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romflasher69:
CM 12/12.1 isn't the faster nor the smoothest and in terms of stability, it's not the best. but undoubtedly it's the prettiest version of android and many people love it including myself. CM11 is definitely the fastest of them all, but there are certain CM12.1 ROMs which are fast and smooth as hell but not as CM11

I think CM11 is *really* ugly and doesn't have as many features as CM 12.1 so I'd suggest you use any CM12.1 ROM of your choice and wait for an stable release of CM 13 since it has better ram management and more features than CM 12.1
[Huawei Watch] dieselboy:
I wear my watch and I'm making a soft drink (example). Screen comes full on but there's no notifications..

I go to do some laundry, screen comes on again but there's no notifications.

I get home and put my bag down, turn on the TV and pick up the PS4 controller, screen comes on again but there's no notifications.

I want to check the time on my watch so I hold my wrist up to my face. Screen stays off. I hold it there for a second, then do something else like put some music on the hifi, whilst still wondering what the time is.

Is there a way to lock the watch so that this feature where it's supposed to tell if you're holding it upright to check the face, can be turned off? It seems I have 2 problems:

1. during my normal every day activities, the watch things I'm trying to check the time and so the screen comes on.

The problem with this is that during my every day activities, I'm not holding the watch upright and then keeping it still. The watch is on my arm and so would be moving around anywhere my arm was going. So, even if for a split second the face did come on, my expectation is that the face should switch off very quickly again once the motion sensors detected my arm being in a different place.

2. when I actually want to check the time sometimes there's a long delay before the screen comes on.

Anyone else have these problems?

I tried double tapping the button on the side as a means to keep the screen off until I want it on, but this also mutes the notifications so that's not good.
[Huawei Watch] mnstr695:
I'm assuming that your question is different than 'how do I turn off' the always on screen feature.

Open the android wear app on your phone

Click the gear button in the upper right to bring up the settings window.

Directly under 'Device Settings' where it says 'Huawei Watch' [Connected], click that line.

Under the 'Always-on screen' line is the 'tilt to wake screen' line.

Deselect that option, by default it is on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] The:Dude:
I got a used Note 2 that was already updated to the mj9 version with the locked bootloader. I rooted it using saferoot and installed safestrap.. Been trying out the mj9 roms and I like the ones I've used, but I want to know if there's a way to update this still awesome beast of a phone to nd7 or higher. I've downloaded the I605VRUFND7_I605VZWFND7_VZW.zip file from samroms, but it's still sitting untouched because I haven't seen anything definite.. I'm currently running Alliance build 26 mj9 version, but I also have build 30 nd7 version and Nephilim.STABLE.EMJ9.ROM.v8.0-FINAL-R3Ds.zip

downloaded and sitting on my sdcard with the official nd7 update from samroms..

Basically I wonder if I can just Odin the official samroms nd7? If there is a bootimg I need to delete first? Can I wipe and install the alliance build 30 for nd7?

I suppose mainly I want to get a newer Android version going and want to know the best way to go about it.. The phone isn't activated with Verizon, and I only use it on Wi-Fi, not as an actual phone..

Any tips, suggestions, or ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance to the best community out there.. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Since your bootloader is locked (and the bootloader is unlockable on 4.3+), the only options I can think of for you would be to.... 1). either stay on 4.3 MJ9 with Safestrap and use 4.3 stock based roms - OR - 2). upgrade the phone to stock 4.4.2 and then root it with Ghettoroot and use Safestrap to run 4.4.2 stock based ROM's. (Due to having a locked bootloader-- you are forced to use stock based ROM's that use the stock kernel when using Safestrap). So, if your phone is on a 4.3 based bootloader - you have to stay with 4.3 based stock ROM's. Once you go to 4.4.2, you have to stay with 4.4.2 stock based ROM's.

My Note 2 is still on the 4.1.2 bootloader, so I haven't personally had to use Safestrap on the Note 2.... but I've read where others say that they've successfully used Safestrap on 4.4.2 after getting the phone rooted.

Personally, I prefer 4.3 to 4.4.2 on my Note 2. I could never find a 4.4.2 based ROM that didn't have some sort of bug that drove me crazy(ier). Either the bluetooth audio would stutter, I would get a lot of lagging with the UI, or would get poor battery life. However, many others report having good success with 4.4.2, so you might be happy with upgrading. I actually decided to come back to the 4.3/MJ9 based Jett ROM v. 3.0, as it does everything that I want in a ROM, works well with my Sony SW3 smartwatch, and runs very stable with great battery life. If you haven't tried out Jett ROM yet, you might want to give it a try (you can find it in the development forum).

Since your phone isn't activated - you obviously won't be getting OTA's, so you'll have to use ODIN if you want to upgrade. If you do decide to upgrade the phone to 4.4.2, you won't be able to return to 4.3 again due to the locked bootloader issue. Also.... if you upgrade 4.4.2, you may want to restore back to total stock 4.3 first and make sure it's wiped clean with a factory reset-- just to make sure nothing is leftover that could mess up the upgrade to 4.4.2.

Good luck! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] The:Dude:
Hey mattnmag, thanks for the info! It was a good read, and I didn't realize that if I upgraded to kit kat I wouldn't be able to downgrade back to jellybean if I didn't like it.. I've still got all the files I need except for the mj9 stock firmware, so I'll have to dl that before I get too crazy with this thing..

But I did dl the Jett ROM, and I'm gonna give that a run later tonight probably.. Just gotta get my backups onto the PC first just in case.. I hate doing full wipes though.. Because I'm lazy and don't like reinstalling everything lol..

What I'd really like it's too have my cyanogenmod back.. I had that on my old Droid RAZR and loved it..

Micromax Canvas Spark 2 Q334 - when flashing the system file not found
[HTC One A9] renatofontes:
I bought a 32GB Nexus 5X with the discount from black Friday and gonna receive soon.

I actually wanted this phone(the A9) more but the discount made the nexus really appealing.

Now, here in Mexico I can get a 32GB A9 for less than a Nexus 5x so I could probably sell the Nexus for more than I bought it and get an A9.

Should I do it? Are there any differences that could make the A9 a worse experience than the Nexus?

What do you guys think? :confused:
[HTC One A9] renatofontes:
*bump*

Any opinions? I've been reading there are lots of problems with the nexus 5x, that's my main reason for wanting to get an A9 instead
[HTC One A9] AnierinB:
Hope this helps

I'd go for it! or at least that's my opinion.

********Here's why*******

The htc a9 does raise some questions about how it's able to perform. But from experience, as in being an owner of the device.. I've come find that this phone is in fact fast and smooth. The battery isn't the best but keep in mind that quick charge 3.0 is just an update away!

Coming from a good old 64gig sandstone black oneplus one In mint condition (with Exodus and ak kernel). I still happen to own that device, although I've been using my a9 as a daily driver for a good month and now perfer it over the original, all mighty oneplus one.

Go for it!
[HTC One A9] TMartin:
I have both. I say get the One A9. I think the performance and battery life are better on it compared to the 5X.
[HTC One A9] renatofontes:
My Nexus 5x arrived a few days ago but it was defective... I can't sell it, and bhphotovideo doesn't want to comply with Mexican customs so I can't exchange it for a new one without having to pay import taxes again :(
[HTC One A9] TMartin:
The 5X isn't a bad device at all. You'll love it.
[HTC One A9] propov:
My choice is 5x because it have super camera, and normal battery and modern chipset. A9 have too many compromises and a lot of questions about them.
[HTC One A9] Crowsby:
I currently have both, and I'm keeping the A9. They're both great devices; it's all about what your specific priorities are.

The 5x will get you:

oodles of development activity, and a pure Android experience. This also translates to much better longevity.

An amazing camera

better battery life

better performance imo

the A9 gets you:

A great amoled screen.

A button on the front of the phone.

A phone you can put in your pocket. The difference in size comparison on Phone Arena is slight, but in the hand, the A9 feels much smaller than the 5x.
[HTC One A9] lokjianming:
I prefer Nexus 5X since it offers a stock Android experience. The performance is also better as we all know it. These two seems to be a hard choice, but after I saw quality issues on 5X I would suggest you to go for HTC A9 since quality issues sometimes depends on your luck.
[HTC One A9] AntikerTa:
I do not know the Nexus, but the HTC One A9 is a great Device. I would buy it again.
[HTC One A9] htconeXX:
Not sure if this will affect you, but you may have tethering guard block you from doing wifi tethering. That is my one regret so far getting the A9 of the 5X. I have been using GPE for the last 3 years, so I am kinda used to the cleaner interface.
[HTC One A9] crowsnestitsupport:
I have and use both! Have had both from the first day they were available! I'd say it all depends on what is important to you. I have anyway been an HTC fan and love sense and good HTC hardware. On the other hand, since the nexus line has come into play I used the Nexus 6, 6p and 5x and I don't know that I can live without the pure AOSP experience that I can get from custom ROMS like chroma and PureNexus and custom kernels like Franco or Elmentalx or Elite . The make for make for unbelievable battery life and an amazing feature set. . Being able to enjoy custom recovery (TWRP) for full backup and restores and flashing new ROMS/kernels every night if I wish, No adds ever and more features than I can shake a stick at is slowly starting to trump out the HTC experience. Having said that, a more direct compare of the 2.... My HTC A9 is rooted and does have TWRP so I have some of the above mentioned benefits, but as of today there are still no custom roms or kernels, my 5x on the other had has Chroma with elementalx and I have every available feature I can imagine!! ( Even have the HTC Sense calender, music app, Gallery and a few others on it :) ) Battery life on my 5x is slightly better than the A9 due to all the things I can customize but the A9 has a very acceptable battery life, as good as my M9. Both have excellent finger print readers with the 5x easily winning on the amount of accurate reads but the front placement of the one on the A9 is SO SO SO much better and more useful. I totally love having it on the front. The 5x hands down smokes the A9 on processor speed. I can throw whatever I want at the 5x and almost never see it bog down or become unresponsive where as I can easily make the A9 lock up and become quite unresponsive if I use it hard. Having said that, outside of heavy multi tasking or gaming the A9 still delivers a very usable experience. When it comes to screens ppl will scream you from both sides and say that LCD or AMOLED is better but in this case the A9 clearly has a far superior screen to the 5x on every level. The screen to me is one of the biggest disappointments on the 5x. Build quality, at first glance the 5x feels plastic and cheap but after using it seems to become more and more durable and doesn't impress one as being cheap, but the A9 is a clear winner here. I love the build quality on the A9. Speakers, well lets just say the A9 is a far cry from the previous one series HTC phones. I don't like the A9 speakers, the 5x has better sound. All in all, the one thing that the A9 phone does well is that it doesn't do anything wrong.. It just works. It's not that impressive but also doesn't disappoint. The 5x has some very impressive things but also disappoints in some areas. and lastly, the cameras... Both are great!!! If possible the A9 might actually beat the 5x but both are great and far out preform any of the previous HTC One phones and the Nexus 6. :) I can provide any stats or photo comparisons or anything like that if wanted :)
[HTC One A9] mcgrathpatj:
What's up with the A9 and Verizon? Does it work yet? I heard only with LTE... is this true? While I rarely drop LTE at home, I do travel a lot.

I like the 5x, and am typing in it now. But man does the build quality leave me wanting a more premium device.

I tried the 6p but its just too big and cumbersome.

I really want an iPhone with Android! I was hoping the a9 would be it.
[HTC One A9] crowsnestitsupport:
It is def your iPhone running android and it has a very premium build compared to the 5x, a much nicer screen and so on, but if your on Verizon your currently out of luck... I just got the 6.0.1 OTA and still data only on VZW with no talk and No text. It will always be an LTE only phone ( On VZW) as it doesn't have a CDMA radio but the plan is for Verizon to support it sometime in the 1st quarter of 2016 as an LTE only device. It's the wave of the future but I'm not sure VZW's LTE network is ready for it yet..
[HTC One A9] mcgrathpatj:
Verizon doesnt support VoLTE or the A9 does not? I'm guessing the phone since there is said to be a software update.

Damn, well, keeping my eye on this.
