I personally didn't experience any of the issues they mention fixing, except for the "Improved device stability reduces continuous resets" which might refer to the bootlooping network problem so many have had.
Interesting ! Thanks for the info
Anyone know what effect this will have on the mainver issue?

We may not be able to accept it, as our main ver is newer than this 2.... Update..
A ROM wil be made based on it so all we are missing is the radio. I think I may be wrong.

not sure if they are actually incorporating a radio update in this package or just some re-programming/new code. either way, it's always possible to flash a radio seperately.
Per HTC customer support, this is pushing out today starting at 4pm eastern time. I called them because I am having friendstream issues where the widget does not update Facebook automatically. They said this update may help. Take it for what it is worth.
My firmware is downloading now...
Just updated...I don't notice any difference except the signal bars going from 4 bars to 5.
yeah, just got mine too..didn't prompt or ask to download, it just started automatically lol
it updates while I was at school and I didnt even know. does not seem any different and I lost my root. I do not know if it is still unlocked though

Me neither. I'll be excited with I get ICS OTA. Unless I succumb to the temptation to root between now and then.
I thought the voice quality with phone calls was poor.... tinny, strident sounding especially with high pitched voices. Haven't made a call since the update but that would be a welcome fix.

Auto-updates Verizon Video
I noticed it updated Verizon Video, an app which I didn't update because it was asking for more security rights.
Looks like Verizon Video can now retrieve a list of running applications. If I were the suspicious sort... I'd imagine they would then send these application lists home using the network communications.
I still can't uninstall the thing even tho I will never use it.

I also noticed a Verizon location agent that I never noticed before. if we get root on this version then we can freeze or unninstall Verizon video or any other bloat again.

My installation has been working fine and I even managed to increase battery life by installing "Juice".
Suddenly, about 3 days ago I noticed the phone was saying no signal. I was clearly getting data, as my apps worked and I was getting eMail alerts and downloads, but no calls.
I tried restarts, but to no avail. I am using Rod_100 UK as I am on Vodafone UK... I assume it is correct, certainly worked for the past month.
I have had to revert back to Windows Mobile.
My immediate thoughts are it is Juice that is causing it. I have just logged back in to my XDAndroid to write this and Juice did not load, and guess what, the signal has come back.......
Just in case is there anything else to look for?
Never heard of "Juice". I have heard of JuiceDefender however...
If you don't have the issue on a clean install, I'd say that app (or one of many I'm assuming you have installed) is the culprit. Rename your data.img and boot, see what happens.
Yes, it is JuiceDefender, apologies for the abbreviation.
I un-installed it and I have network again, but I guess I will loose battery longevity again, not that it made a huge difference.
I'll keep my eye on it....
Still no improvement
No, still not working. I get no signal, when I am in eye shot of a mast and on WM I get a full signal. I am booting in to WM to a deluge of SMS messages that I had not received, mostly vMail notifications, to which the messages are from calls that I did not receive.
The radio is not as strong and keeps dying on me requiring a reboot
I dont know what exactly but some program is giving android problems

All I can say is do the standard mess.
Make sure you're up to date.*
Delete (move, rename) data.img.
Format SD. Full format. HP tool.
*There's a lot of testing stuff flying around right now too, making that difficult admittedly. Hopefully the auto-build service will return soon, and all the madness will get committed soon!

Well I took it literally, as I have no idea, sorry. I'll put it back... Anyway, I have another problem now anyway. Having made the change it will not boot. I checked the permissions and it is not "Executable" any more. I have tried changing it but it will not let me. How do I fix this - I am accessing via my laptop which is Ubuntu (Linux).
Can you help, please?

What is not "Executable" any more... haret.exe?
The startup file
Sorry, ignore me.
After the change, I double clicked the Android shortcut to launch Android, but it would not start, so I assumed the file had to be executable (as it was the only item I had changed)... I had forgotten to disconnect my TP2 from my laptop!
I've done so now and it has launched. A stupid user errorhttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
I'll keep you posted on any changes.
Ha, fair enough. Enjoy.
Solved. Keep loosing Radio
OK. I tried all the above. Delete data.img, and check the startup script/cmd.... none worked. At some point I would loose the network connection.
As it started within days of loading JuiceDefender and its components and from the description of how it works - controls the running apps including radio and data transfer, I always suspected it to be the root cause. After the other checks failed I tried removing all Juice Defender apps and since then c30hrs I have not experienced any loss of communication.
Thanks everyone for your help, and I hope this will be of use to anyone else suffering from loosing radio/ signal.

It has been a number of days now and I have not experienced the same issue, so my conclusion is that it is the JuiceDefender that caused the problem.
The down side now is that I get 7am to 4pm battery life as opposed to 7am to 7pm.... But atleast I can receive and make calls!
A note: The signal strength on the project image is not as strong as the WM6.5, but I am sure that is a known issue.

Hrm, didn't realize that app would help out that much. But, it makes sense if it's turning off all your radios lol.
Anyhoo, have you seen the kernel I posted from WisTilt2? It has full panel collapse, and battery life is astounding with it.
Code has yet to be committed, as he still has some work to do for the AUO panels (select RHOD100's basically) - so unless you have one of those you can reap the benefits of his new code .
(bzo got nearly 65 hrs with the radio on, sync off - 100% sleep.)
Looks interesting, but where do I download the latest version... I don't plan reading all the threads! And IF I installed would I loose all my settings and apps?
Update
It has been a while since I did all this tinkering, during which time there has been an update.
What I find I get is sometimes (c every couple of days) the meter says I have signal but nothing connects with a message "no network". Also, but far more frequent, as with today where it has occurred 3 times, I dial a number and nothing happens. It says ringing but there is no ring tone and it never seems to connect. I then shut the call down either by using the hang up button or the soft hang up key. The screen then changes to "Hanging Up" but again sits there indefinitely. The only solution id to do a restart.....
Any ideas?
PS: any news on when the bluetooth and camera will be working...?
I have found that any app that acts as a task killer of any sort (juice defender must in someway stop apps to save battery) can also kill your connection. I found this out while using xdandroid and it became immiediately clear when I stopped using the task killer my bars and data proved to be more consistant! Hope that helps.

Hey guys after finally getting my insurance payout for my first Titan I can gladly report im back with another Titan from play.com. There are a few issues though.
UPDATE : Stuck on stock 7720 that came with the phone. It was a sim free unbranded phone. Zune refuses to find an update and says im upto date. Well I was on 81xx on my old unbranded UK phone so I know this is wrong. Any thoughts?
WiFi : my WiFi is absolutely terrible. Connection is fine, strength is great. But browsing pages, metrotube, an IE use just fails either completely or after 1 page. Also noticed IE will load 1 YouTube video then when I click play on the next nothing happens. Its as if the cache is full maybe? This is with DATA CONNECTION OFF. I only use data when WiFi is playing up.
HTC Youtube app : as most people know the app is removed from the marketplace. I knew this when I had my first titan. But as I had that pre installed every update I ran never removed it. Are there any cabs for it around / xaps? Will I need to be dev / interop unlocked?
Cheers Terry

I had a problem with Wifi abit like that, which went away when I flashed to a custom from but obviously YMMV
And for htc youtube app you would need to be unlocked to side load, best bet is to flash a custom rom then you can side load xaps to your hearts content. Unless you have a Microsoft developer account This will also put you on 8773.98 or similar.

Thanks for the confirmation
I have managed to get 8773.98 using the Disable internet while checking for updates technique to force the update.
One question, Is it better to do a factory reset of my phone after doing such alot of updates to my phone? Or will functionability be fine without i have heard mixed responses on this.
Haven't check the WiFi on this update yet but im still getting 'connection error' on facebook whether im on Wifi or Data, this annoyed me back when i updated my previous titan and i see it hasn't been fixed.
Now, I have been looking to 'unlock' my titan anyway. I have read if im on 8773 i can't use HSPL anymore is this true? Is there any other 'unlock' method that isn't budget blowing. Not really keen on unlocking my phone just for the HTC Youtube app. As i only want this because of Aesthetics

1. You can do a factory reset if you want, but that will lose everything (as in SMS and game saves). Its your choice.
2. The WiFi/3G problem is an OS problem, nothing we can do about it except only turn on one connection at a time.
3. You can't use HSPL because 8773 comes with a 4.6 bootloader update which has higher security. If you want an alternative youtube app, metrotube is the way to go.
I was in the same boat as you, but I chose not to tinker with it if its working. The WiFi 3G isnt affecting me at all, it uses WiFi when I'm at home, I don't turn it off but I do go out everyday and it handles connections just fine. I have gone to 8773 but it was laggy on my Titan (like avatar animation is sluggish while moving, and doing a factory reset causes the capacitive buttons unresponsive) so I'm back to 8107.
If you want to go further you can install custom ROM, but the thing that I'm afraid about if future updates (I know, WP8's out of the closet but that doesn't mean we're not getting anymore future updates). The only caveat is you have to make sure the next update works with the custom ROM, else it'll either brick or broken.
I upgraded my phone to KK back in late december and have been on it ever since but one problem has plagued me since then and I'm hoping to get some insight here. heres the problem...
When im connected to wifi (and this is only with wifi, not MD) I don't get my push notifications (gmail,fb,words,hangouts,etc) when the screen is off.Often i turn my screen on and get a barrage of notifications that i should have gotten hours ago. Ive tried all the sleep modes and Ive tried turning off wifi optimization.Nothing works and I know for fact it did not do this on JB.
I DO get text messages and phone calls instantly though but nothing else will wake my phone up. While i do enjoy the deep sleep, i would like to get my notifications in a reasonable amount of time without having to turn the phone on to check them.
Has anyone else had this "problem"?
Nope. Have you looked into what is and isn't checked in your Google Settings? There's a Play Games tab that allows you to mute certain games, essentially stopping their notifications. I don't suppose you've messed with that, have you?
It's strange, I've not really heard of this, especially since you're getting texts and such.

Yeah i know and I've googled it to death for a few months now. I'll check g settings but idk why that would stop gmail. It's like when I'm on Wi-Fi w/ the screen off its just a plain old dumb phone. I turn the screen on and the notifications just flood in.
Edit: nothing in g settings is muted. The only thing i can think of is i don't have app data synced in accounts.
I think i figured it out. I had "sync app data" unchecked in accounts. So far I've been getting notifications screen on and off. Now if someone will just play back to me on wwf...
EDIT: i may have spoke too soon. It still doesnt wake up without turning on my screen

I did when I was using Omni and it worked great. I haven't used it since running RR, however.
So you're wifi connected, and have actively turned mobile data off? I have never even tried that...
If, however, you mean that this happens only when you're connected to WiFi, then no, I have not experienced this issue.
The only other setting that I can think of that pertains to sync is in system settings > Data usage > settings > [ ] auto-sync data, but I don't think that would cause the awake-vs-sleep sync issues that you're describing.
I used to use Active display, I currently use AcDisplay, I'll likely go back to using the baked-in active display.

No i never turn mobile data off. I just meant that notifications come as expected when I'm on mobile data but on Wi-Fi, once the phone hits deep sleep (<a minute) i won't get notifications unless i turn the screen on.
I ask about active display because i remember when on resurrection ROM i was using it and getting notifications then and kind of forgot about it but I'm on PAC 4.4 now and it's doing it again. However i was using the init.d scripts they have baked in but have them all turned back off now to see if that fixes it.
It's the strangest thing I've seen. It's like when I'm on Wi-Fi and turn the screen off it just disconnects from all data even though i can plainly see that it is not. Angela has the same phone with the same settings as mine but on RR 5.0.5 and she gets notifications fine.
@cyril279 I knnow this is off topic but have you tried this AD app? Its got some other features/customizations that aren't on the built in AD
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications
That was actually one of the first active-display variants that I tried. It worked well, but there were a couple hiccups that kept me shopping. The add-on AD clones have great features, but they don't play well with the stock lockscreen, or they leave the [home] button active, or involve significant lag when evoking the notification. The baked-in clones operate fluidly, but without the cool-stuff. I haven't tried active notifications recently though, maybe the updates have smoothed things out. I'm definitely down to try it again.
AcDisplay's development has been re-directed by Motorola. It's still my favorite of the clones, the beta version is boss, but it still isn't as fluid as the built-in boring-ol Omni AD.

EDIT: The app does not fix it....
just thinking out loud herebut, could this be a kernel issue? Im currently using PAC's kernel that comes packaged in the rom. Maybe I should try @RenderBroken 's kernel...?

[SOLVED] Not Receiving Notifications on WiFi
My suspicions have paid off!! I started suspecting my router was the culprit so i pulled out my old netgear2400 and hooked it up and low and behold my notifications starting lighting my phone up again!!
The problem was the Xfinity router that came from comcast. Apparently it was closing the "heartbeat" line to stay connected when the screen was off before the heartbeat would send again, if that makes sense.
For the time being I'm going to just use my netgear router BUT I was able to fix the problem with the Xfinity router by using an app called Push Notification Fixer. Just install it, follow the instructions, and set the WIFI/mobile data heartbeat to the recommended settings. If that don't work start shortening the heartbeat time. It'll make sense when you see the app.
Hope this helps someone else along the way. I went a LONG WAY down the google rabbit hole before I figured this one out.
Great news, glad it was an easy fix!

Great news! Now you just need to install DD-wrt on your router and turn it from a $40 router to a $400. I know you like to tinker but check it out. ITs free and its just firmware for certain routers. It turned my old wrt54g into a baus

I'm having the same issue with KitKat CM11 ROM on my HP Touchpad (which is WiFi only), and will have to try this. Notifications come in instantly on my iPhone/iPads, but my Touchpad gets some serious delays...sometimes right away, and sometimes delayed.
By the way, did "Sync App Data" setting for an account have anything to do with push notifications, or is that more for backup purposes?
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
Oh darn, mine is still delayed even with the push notification fixer installed and WiFi heartbeat at 5min. Even after I've just rebooted my Touchpad, actively using it, and not even 5 minutes has passed. Delay was 8 minutes and then the notifications came streaming in.
With Android/KitKat, do you have to have the app open in the background for push notifications to go thru? Or run the app at least once after a reboot?
Greetings All!
XDA search is broken at the moment. Suggesting that I use Google but that's decidedly hit-or-miss.
New LG G3, can't send SMS messages, and getting almost no bars at home when my old S3 is still getting two or three bars.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks in advance.

In case you have not tried, airplane mode cycle or restart phone help at all?
Also I assume you don't have Wi-Fi calling on? Mine shuts off cell service when I have a good Wi-Fi connection too save battery.

Well, I didn't have Wi-Fi calling on; but removing the battery and replacing it did the trick for the SMS issue. Still disappointed with the reception in my house even though I do have Google Voice and VOIP so any incoming and outgoing calls aren't usually placed or taken via the mobile phone anyway.
So far have a love/hate relationship with the phone. I'll be testing the heck out of it over the next couple of days or so.
Another option to try. Go to Settings> More>mobile networks and set it to CDMA. Global seems to give a lot of people issues.
If you have LTE, you'll need to set that one.
Something else to consider...
Have you tried to update the PRL for your G3?
Settings -> General -> System Updates -> Update PRL
After the PRL has been updated, reboot your phone and report if there has been any improvement with reception.

I'll give that a shot and see how things look this evening. Thanks.
No need to do the workarounds anymore, if you're on Lollipop now just go to Advanced Calling and activate it!

cool I'm going to delete my workaround if I can figure out how. Wonder if it's 509... And I just read a post on here about stagefright 2.0 ****ing bullshat so our phones are still vulnerable to specialy modified mp3 and mp4- so someone can do remote executions. but so is everyone elses phone...
I do hope this is something positive, not getting to hopeful just yet, have not seen any indication of a OTA yet.

What differences do you hope in seeing in the OTA from what's already out?

Final build, did you say the or someone else that the .ftf R4C still didn't have the Stagefright patch? I do hope the final release has that patched and the new Stagefright 2 patch as well.
I have beta tested Winders/Linux and other software for years and the final release is well final, may be some bugs still but most are squashed and gone.
This is not my first pony ride, although I have not posted on XDA I have been active in the Android community since the first Moto Droid, just not on XDA.
Have used Linux since Red Hat then Corel days, Google it.
Thanks for the heads up. I was able to activate it from the My Verizon app on stock KitKat. I've never flashed lollipop either

that's interesting so we could have had this all along. I thought kitkat didn't support advanced calling natively that's what I've read and I know our phones don't have dual radios so I don't get it I want to revert back to test it but I will take your work for it. Do you actually have 4g when on a call now. and can you use the Internet while on the phone.

We wouldn't have had this all along because in the my verizon app if you tried to add the advanced calling feature to a line with an xperia Z3v you'd get an error saying it wasn't a volte capable device. It referred you to a list of volte capable devices and the z3v wasn't on the list. I do however do not understand how advanced calling would work on kitkat.... for one thing they're missing proprietary libs for HD video calling as well as the apps and the IMS bootstrap to keep advanced calling on between reboots, but hey if it's working for people on Kitkat that's wonderful news, they deserve it. I'd take it as a good sign that they finally got around to adding volte in their systems, to me that says the OTA is greenlighted and we're just waiting on the beginning of the roll out. What's disappointing is that Verizon is giving us 5.0.2, but hey it's better than what we've had. I'm grateful.
I can confirm mine is working on 5.0.2.
Has anyone else been unable to mute calls that are not HD Voice?
Today I deactivated advanced calling. I believe it was causing excessive noise during Bluetooth calls. I never had Bluetooth issues before Lp and advanced calling. 4.4 was flawless for me
Added advanced calling to my stock 4.4 phone, but I don't get simultaneous voice and data during calls. ?

Not quite -- I'm on stock 4.4 and I've enabled the feature with Verizon, but after rebooting my phone I still don't see an option to turn on Advanced Calling features. (Am I missing them in the menus? Where are they?)

That's the lollipop part. The advanced calling is it's on tab in the OS settings.
Anyone else have issues with activating advanced calling. I select the HD calling in the settings. I get a message that indicates I already have HD calling and that I should restart my phone. Restart and same message pops up when I get a call that I don't have data while on a call.

Solution: had to delete HD calling from Verizon, waited over night then added HD calling from the settings menu. Don't know how many times I've added and removed advanced calling before but waiting seemed to do the trick.

How do i deactivate advanced calling. I have had tons of issues since activating it. I still get a message when i get calls saying no data available, i also cannot enter credit card numbers. I have not been able to successfully enter a card number even once since activating it, every time i am very careful an hit the right keys but it says thats not a working card. I have had no issues what so ever doing that before activation of advanced calling. Is there a way to remove or deactivate it completely or at all?

Just turn it off. There's a toggle in settings... If you're on lollipop.. Which if you're not, I guess you could do it in my verizon add remove features
Well i never actally turned any of the toggles on. I just activated advanced calling thru my verizon app. Since i activated it, i have not been able to enter a credit card number sucessullly, i know that advanced calling feature was the change that made my poblem. Becouse before activating it i never had an issue, but within a couple hours of activating it, i tried to enter my credit card number over phone call and every single time (ive tried so many times since the activation of advanced callig) every time it tells me sorry, thats not the right number. Ive tried with multiple cards, and the same result evey time. I just want to know, besides turnig off the toggles in settings( that i never used or turned to on). Is it possible to deactivate it thru verizon or delete it from my account. Can someone help me figure it out. It has been a huge inconveniance for me. The only toggles i have in settings are one for hd voice and one for video calling, and on above those 2 that is not labled and i figured was to turn advanced calling on or off. I never used it. When i first activated it ,it was done through my verizon app, an i didnt realize till reading more later on here , that there was section in settings for advanced calling. By that time i was already trying to remove it due to my card number entering issues, so i never turned any of the toggles on. Anyone know of anything that i could do to remove the feature completely.
