Radio issues after kitkat update topic

I have been thinking that radio performance after the latest kitkat update does not seem to be as good as the previous version.

i seem to notice that the phone takes little longer to switch to 4G/LTE signal compared to the previous version. I have not tested if the phone has problems maintaining the 4G signal, does anyone else notice this or any other sort of radio issues?

About a month ago i was sitting with my friend with his original HTC one and noticed the same behavior and i think that has now replicated to the MAX too :(

its annoying to find the signal stuck at 3G and the internet speeds are terribly low in 3G when compared to 4G.

[Q] WiFi + Google Play Music issues topic

Hi guys,

Got a problem with my mother's Xperia SP. WiFi doesn't seem to stay on when the screen is off, despite the right option being ticked in settings. It doesn't show any sign that it's disconnected, but Google Play Music stops downloading the long queue of music we've selected to be stored on the device if the screen is closed for a little while. This is most frustrating, and I suspect a software bug.

This is an Xperia SP on Orange, build number 12.0.A.2.254 (the latest available, Android 4.1.2) and the bootloader is not unlockable or I would have installed Cyanogenmod already.

Any ideas?

Hangouts MMS issues!!! topic

Im having TONS of problems all of the sudden with Hangouts and MMS messages.

For a few weeks now when i try and send someone a MMS Hangouts keeps FCing then i reload the app and it FCs over and over and over again. And every time it FCs the other person gets the picture so i end up sending it over and over and over again. It keeps doing this till i can get into the thread delete the message and then go and clear the data from the App.


Then starting today i cant receive MMS anymore. I just get a "Image Downloading tap to retry" message. I tap it and it just sits there with the dancing dots. And now when i go back farther into threads where i had already received pictures. They are just big empty squares with dancing dots.

Anyone else having this issue? And is there a fix?

Support Request - Network Issues topic

Hello,

I recently purchased an i9305T 2nd hand but I am continually getting network errors with my Vaya (Optus) Sim.

I have not been able to get mobile data to work at all, using various configurations.

I have tried flashing a custom rom (CM Nightlies) and flashed various modem packages but still the same problem. I can send & receive texts and calls for a few mins, but then it comes up with network unavailable and nothing will work.

I'm not sure if the phone is locked, and at one point I figured it was locked so I purchased an unlock code but I can't use it as I am unable to use ANY USSD codes (I have tried heaps) except for the one to check my IMEI (Which is fine).

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Thanks,

Fix CM11 issues manually? topic

Hey everyone!

So, I've just flashed 3/26 on my phone and I just seen that they are fixing some issues with the nightly I just flashed.

I'm quite a flash-aholic and I enjoy flashing a lot, although I feel like I should just stick to one nightly if things are going good and there are no problems.

Now my question is, is it possible to just fix the issues manually rather than having to reflash again? I don't believe in dirty flashing, idk why but it doesn't make me feel real comfortable lol

I am able to use adb commands and how to reset my phone back to stock in case of an emergency (or restore from a backup)

Isp issues topic

So I got a chromecast for my birthday and was super excited to use it but it wouldnt connect to the wifi for my apartment complex. I called the isp and they block all cc, apple tv, roku ect. I spoofed the mac adress to my tablet to try to gain acees but it wouldn't let my tablet connect. Therefore I think it must be blocked by mac adress? Anyway I have a model h2g2 42 and would like to find a way to connect my device to the internet and use my new toy. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Jared

[Q] Immersive mode issues topic

Recently updated to 4.2 beta 2, everything works great but I found an issue with immersive mode. In random apps, when i try to pull down the status bar from the top right of the screen when its hidden, the nav bar on the bottom also appears for a split second. This happens in random apps like the display control app for franco kernel and the youtube app. This will not happen if I pull down from the top middle of the screen. The nav bar on the bottom random flashes on screen for a second from time to time when going back sometimes, like in the various settings menus. Anyone else run into a similar issue?

[Q] Charging issues after updating KOT49H Rom topic

So I flashed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】Google Play Edition 03-24-2014 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez today and did everything as usual.
But when trying to charge my phone later on it did not charge. Tried different chargers, different wall plugs, nothing. But when I turned of my device it started charging.
So I did a fresh install, same problem. I flashed it again after clearing all user data and all cache and still no charge while the device is on. So what I did was downgrading to the last update from 03.04 but the problem persist.
I have no idea what to do. The phone won't charge unless it's off and I have no idea why.

Is there anyone with the same problem or has any idea what I could do?

KK 4.4.2 Issues topic

Kinda made this to be a catch-all KK issue thread.

I've been on this forum for many years and would you believe my post count <10. Anyways....

I have flashed the Liquidsmooth LS-KK-v3.0-2014-03-18 with the dr87 kernel. Great ROM. Quick. Speedy. Best battery life I've ever had on a smartphone.

Having issues with random reboots also with A2DP. I know A2DP hasn't been right for a long time. Also having issues with the updater nagging about a new update even though I'm on the latest release. The download usually fails a MD5 check anyways.

Thoughts?

4.4 Camera Issues *HELP* topic

Hello and thanks for your time! I have the SGH-I317 and I am having problems with my camera when I flash a AOSP ROM. The 4.4 KitKat camera is not working for me, but when I flash back to a TouchWiz ROM everything is fine. Here are the apps and the problems associated with them:

-SnapChat: Taking pictures works fine, but when recording video it will only record a second or two
-Instagram: Pictures are fine, but the video is distorted and zoomed in
-Vine: The app doesn't even recognize that i have a video camera
-When trying to take a video to attach to a mms message it give me this: (SEE ATTACHED) (I've tried Hangouts and the stock messaging)

And the crazy thing is, when i open the video camera through the camera app, it works fine.

ALSO, When any app that needs access to the camera/video camera is open, there is a horrible screeching sound that comes out of the headset speaker, I will record a video so you can hear what I am talking about. Also notice how the video is fine besides the screeching when opening through the camera app.
(SEE VIDEO HERE: dropbox (DOT) com/sc/2gdbf352ghf7imu/fNWWukGnIz)

*IVE ALREADY TRIED CHANGING THE VIDEO QUALITY IN ALL THE APPS AND NOTHING HELPS*

Strange LTE / 4G issues HTC One T-Mobile topic

My T-Mobile speeds are pretty good. According to speed test pointing to the same server my speeds for the last few months were

4g (non-lte) up to 15 down, up to 5 up
LTE 35-50 down, 20-25 up


Yesterday I had issues with LTE, it was around 5 down. I thought too many people must have gotten T-Mobile in my area
Then I tested it again at night, same deal. I switched to 4g hspa (GSM\WCDMA Auto) and my download was crazy fast, up to 25mbps, while up was still under 5. Then I tried switching back to LTE (GSM\WCDMA\LTE Auto), but the icon wouldn't change to LTE. My samsung sitting a few inches away was showing LTE, but I didn't test samsung because it has used all high speed data. I rebooted the phone, still showed 4G, not LTE. Then I pulled the sim out of HTC One and put it in Nexus 5 - Nexus showed LTE right away and tested at over 35mbps. Put back into HTC One - this time LTE showed up, but speeds were still less than 5. (I did all tests at exact same place, with the phones laying in the same spot on the desk). I called T-Mobile tech support - no help
Then I took HTC One closer to the window, and speed went up to 30. Put it back on the same spot on the desk and speeds are fine, over 30. Tested 4g hspa - under 15. Today, speeds are up to 50, while 4g hspa again under 15.

What's the deal? Did T-Mobile guy do something?

To summarize:
1. When LTE on HTC One was very slow, HSPA was very fast and Nexus 5 LTE was very fast (I didn't not test Nexus hspa unfortunately)

2, When switching from LTE to 4g hspa, switching back didn't work. Rebooting didn't help either. Trying the same thing today - it works but takes a while. I noticed that if I switch to LTE and then switch wifi ON and then OFF, LTE comes back right away. But without toggling WIFI it takes over a minute.

3. One other interesting thing - when I place a call LTE switches to 4g. After you hang up it switches to LTE, BUT -
On HTC One - it switches right away!!
On Samsung - always takes a little time. maybe even over a minute
On Nexus 5 - sometimes a few seconds, other times up 5 minutes!!!!

Why HTC One is able to switch to LTE right away, while Nexus 5 may take up to 5 minutes? is there an easy way (via some program) to force Nexus and Samsung to switch right away?

Thanks.

P.S. Another issue with HTC One - wifi is much weaker when further away from the router. I'd get 5mbps where Nexus 5 and Samsung would get 15-20. I had same issue with my previous nexus 5 but my new nexus 5 seems to be much better on wifi now. I know it has a lot to do with the router, when when some phones are OK with the router and others aren't, that means some phones will be OK with public wifi while others won't be. I tested the public wifi with my old nexus 5, it was 30-50% slower than samsung

[Q] Recovery issues. topic

After getting the phone back from HTC, I've had nothing but problems. After using rumrunner to s-off and unlock the bootloader, I have had nothing but problems with the recovery. It doesn't matter if I'm using TWRP or CWM, the phone refuses to wipe the cache. Every time, it gets stuck on wiping the cache, no matter how much time I give it. I was eventually able to get Cyanogenmod running. However, the GPS wasn't ever able to get a lock, so I am currently in the process of flashing a stock rom in order to get the gps lock on another non-stock based rom. What do y'all suggest I should do? I have never had any of these problems on any phone. I am able to boot into cyanogenmod though.

Charging Port Issues topic

Um so about a month ago i was charging my Note and I placed it on my desks keyboard slide-out tray but the Note fell and landed directly on the charging port with the cable plugged in and it looked like it bent the port internally since the cable no longer sits flat or stiff. I am willing to open the device and fix it since my warranty is shot since I rooted it lol. What do you guys suggest?

tf101 connection issues topic

OK guys I have an issue
I now own a tf101 the issue I'm having is a connection issue
I recently purchased my tf101 used as a bargain price as our families 2nd tablet
The lady reset to factory before I purchased

After a couple days I began looking into rooting as an option to restore some functionality to this older tablet when connecting to my computer, I wasn't receiving any notification it was plugged in .... no new device detected ... no sounds..... nothing in device manager

It charges fine... and its an official Asus cord ( least it says Asus on it)
I also got the 40 pin to USB converter and it transfers data from a flash drive to the tablet fine movies pics etc...

I tried the cord on 3 different PC's, and 2 Macs nothing

Tried downloading and installing Asus sync and naked drivers neither helped
(Gonna get my friends cord this weekend see if it does anything)

I also tried most of all of this stuff in USB debugging mode , and toggling sync tool, as well in and not in apex mode

I tried a j5 wormhole USB to USB cord from the 40 pin converter still nothing...

I've read post after post about this topic however NONE have solutions

I had a friend suggest that it may have been rooted before she factory reset it and something got corrupted...

Some other info I'm sure I'll get asked about

Firmware version IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615

Kernel version 2.6.39.4 android@mars#1

Android version 4.0.3


Whenever I try to boot into any kind of recovery it shows a belly up android with red exclamation mark


Any help would be appreciated

Anyone know if I can root from usb

Kitkat 4.4.2 Update Issues topic

Dear all,

I apologize in advance if there's already a thread going on regarding this, but I couldn't find it and this is really bothering me.
I've used the OTA service to update my Galaxy note 3 SM-N9005 to the latest 4.4.2 Kitkat only to find out later that it renders my Micro SD card (which I specifically bought for this phone) useless.
In addition to that, the battery life, which was the main reason I chose this phone, has been greatly reduced.
The battery life (one of the best I've seen in a smartphone before the update) and the 64gb Micro SD support have been THE reasons I chose this phone only 3 months ago.
I have contacted Samsung support in Spain (where I bought it) through their online chat and had to explain the problem to them as they had no idea what I'm talking about. When I explained the issue with the Micro SD card, they asked me which brand is it and when I said it's Sandisk, I was told "Samsung can not guarantee compatibility with other brands". I had to spend another 10 minutes explaining why it has nothing to do with the brand of the Micro SD card. I was then asked to write them an email which they will (hopefully) answer in a few days.
I then went ahead and contacted the US support, which surprisingly, was 10 times worse!!!
They proceeded to ask me for my model number and where I purchased it and then just brushed me off as they are not "trained" on my model.
I then requested assistance assuming I have a model they support (as I've read in numerous places that this is a global issue even with T-Mobile, AT&T and other carrier models), and the guy just said they have no reported issues of this kind with their models.

I am at a lose here and I have no idea where to turn to and who from Samsung can actually provide support. I'm starting to regret ever purchasing a Samsung device only because of their lousy support and service.

Is there any way to revert back to the factory 4.3 it came with when I bought it?
Does anyone at Samsung even know this is a major and global problem with their update? (I'm sure they know about the Micro SD issue but what about the battery life?)
Who else can I contact to get a solution for this? Is it possible to contact Samsung Korea in any way?
What can I do???

Any help would be appreciated.

Issues Turning on the Screen topic

Recently my LG G2 Verizon has started having an issue with turning on.

1. will no longer turn on by knock on. (knock off works)

2. when i push the power button on the back about 75% of the time the screen turns on then immediately turns off or turns off as soon as i touch the screen. I have to push it a bunch while touching the screen to get it to stay on and let me unlock it.

3. pulling down the notification bar from the top only pulls down partially then closes a lot of the time.


I have tried:

1. Uninstalling a bunch of apps, no success.

2. did a data reset and wiped everything. no success.


Running:
4.2.2
VS98011A
TWRP 2.6.3.2

When i first went into TWRP i tried to do a factory reset and it just sat there with an error that i could not mount the cache. Then i rebooted, went back in and this time did a data wipe and typed "yes" to verify. It got stuck trying to do that as well, but this time when i rebooted it was reset and i had to reenter all my account settings etc. But it is still having the same issue. I am wondering if there is something in the cache thats causing it and i wonder if it did not wipe the cache when it wiped the data.

At this point i just want the phone to work but not sure why TWRP is having issues. Has anyone else had any of these issues? Can anyone help with these issues?

I wouldnt mind flashing the VS98011B rom but i am not sure TWRP is working correctly and want to make sure it works right before i try to flash a new rom. Should i use CWM? if so how do i get from TWRP to CWM? i need some help.

Any advice is extremely appreciated.
