hi all,
just recently bought a hero and sorry for the noob questions. any help will be greatly appreciated.
1.) How do i activate the green notification light for any new notifications? so far i can only use the trackball to flash for a number of minutes and thats it.
2.) how can i permanently use 3g as a signal without switching back to edge? i prefer 3g because it is faster, but when i use the web, it reverts to edge making it slower when browsing. i want it never to switch back to edge just 3g.
3.) How do you update radio and rom? is it the same with winmo? i have a topaz and im currently using hero.
Thanks for any feedback!
So far the only answer i found was the notification light as a bug or a defect. line switching is still unsolved and updating.

1) It works as it is stated in the user's manual. How can you state that it is a bug or defect? Funny... Just because it works that way on Magic or G1 does not mean that it has to be the same on Hero.
2) You cannot as your phone will automatically switch between them when one another is not available. You phone will select 3G only if it is available around where you are. If it switches to Edge/GPRS/whatever, that means you don't have 3G signals around you.
3) There are 1.000 posts on the forum here regarding updating ROM, etc. Search is our best friend.

You can force HSDPA, but you do so at your own risk!
You need to download AnyCut from the Market and create new shortcut to the activity "Phone Info". From this short cut, you access a screen which gives lots of diagnostic info about the phones state and there is an option to "Set preferred network type". By default this is "WCDMA Preferred", but if you want to force to always use HSDPA you should select "WCDMA Only".
Note if you do this, your phone will never drop back to 2G, even if a 2G signal is available and a 3G one isn't.
I wouldn't advise playing around with any of the other options in this screen unless you know what you are doing!
Regards,
Dave

very interesting. because for my topaz i always set it to wcdma only. willing to give it a try. where can i download it? do i need a gmail account for this? cant find it any website where it can be downloaded.
Android software is downloadable via the Android Market application on your hero - any purchases are made by using a google checkout account which is set up like paypal so you don't need to enter your details all the time...

Hi, I have a Verizon Droid Razr Maxx and I have been rooted for a while with the stock ICS rom but I wanted to try one of the custom roms out there. First I tried MIUI and I had no service then I did black widow and It had service but only 3G/1X. I restored back to stock with DroidRazrUtility 1.8 and I am still only getting 3G/1x.
I have another 4G phone that is getting 4G service so it's not an outage. Also, I tried swapping the sims in the phone and the Razr still won't connect to 4G.
Does anybody know what's wrong?

have you checked and made sure its not on cdma only.

Ok I think i can fix your problem. Try this. First off, in ICS there is no way to check for settings as "CDMA ONLY" like Gingerbread. They removed the option in all their infinite wisdom. Download this program "Phone Info" from the market place. GO to the first option of "Phone Information". Scroll to the bottom, you should see a bunch of fields and one states the frequency of the antenna. It will be above the "Turn off Radio" button. It allows you to change it to literally anything available whether the phone can find the signal or not. It may be on "CDMA only (auto PRL)" This is only 3g as you probably guessed. Make sure it is on this "LTE/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA". This is the normal frequency and will do 4g/3g/1x. Hope this helps

Sorry, don't think I said to check under mobile networks. Guess I should have specified, dial *#*#4636#*#* you can now pick cdma only or make sure its not chosen
Sent from my Droid Razr using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the suggestions. I went to the phone info page and tried the suggested settings and even tried a few other's but nothing seems to get a 4G connection.
Again I checked my other 4G phone and it is connected to 4G so I know it's not an outage.
I changed to to LTE ONLY just to see what would happend and it indicated that the radio is off but with no way to turn it on. You know the button that says "Turn on radio" won't toggle like it will on the other settings. I am not sure if that means anything.
Ah well ibforgot about dialing the service number. Phone info takes you to that menu anyways

Having trouble with my VZW Galaxy Note 2, These instructions worked for me! 2013/11/04
I just switched from a rooted One XL that was running Scott's CleanRom 4.5DE to a new One X+ that I've unlocked and rooted.
One of the features I miss the most is the ability to force the phone into 3G for most of my use with the ability to turn on 4G when I am watching video or something that requires more data.
Is there an app that works well at switching back and forth easily? I did a search in the play store and there are a couple in there but they seemed to be geared for phones that are CDMA/LTE rather than H+/LTE.
Thanks!!!

I'm using Widgetsoid...add a widget to the screen and choose the "4G" plugin. That will bring you to the radio menu where you can select GSM/WCDMA only instead of GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
I use Phone Info by [email protected]
but the setting has to be changed every time you reboot

You may need to toggle the radio off/on after you change between 3G/4G to force it after you make a change.

^ Are you rooted/unlocked bootloader?
You just have to make a apn for 4g network then you just go into apn and select the 4g apn or the lte apn
As far as 3g I donno I can just change mine from lte o hspa hspda or lte but I'm sure there's a 3 g only apn I just don't know it

Seems no matter which I pick it just resets to the standard option.
If I turn the radio off first I can set whatever I want, but, upon turning back one I still get 'LTE' even if it isn't the selected network type.
EDIT: I see I have the same problem as 'moregadget' in that no matter what I do it just seems to go back to its default settings. It must be some BS AT&T did to prevent us from opting out of the battery sucking LTE connection.
I am on an unlocked bootloader & rooted on the Elegancia 3.1.0 AT&T rom.

Yep identical problem...
I went back to my original One X for a couple weeks and put the X+ away. I'll come back to it but right now its not fully functional for me.
I have eternal faith in the XDA community and that with more time the genius' here who are much smarter than I will figure it all out...

So I was loading the Team Venom ViperXL+ 1.2.0 ROM yesterday and had a moment where I felt like an idiot. As I was selecting the items on the ROM that I wanted to load I ran across the area where I select what 3G/4G icons I want and I suddenly realized something I haven't seen on the One X+ forum but was prevalent on the original One X.
When you have the AT&T 4G icons in use you can't manually select the network however when you load a ROM that allows you to use the typical H+/3G icons that I believe are on the international version you can.

Do you need to enable data roaming to get a connection even in your home network? If so, you probably know the hassle this causes when you travel abroad, or live near the border where your phone can sometimes log into another network. You have to disable data roaming every time, and if you forget, you'll get an unpleasant surprise on your next phone bill.
Maybe you know CyanogenMod's "National Roaming" feature that enables roaming only in your home country, so you don't have to disable roaming manually when you leave the country. I've used this in the past and got used to it, so much that having to live without it would annoy me a lot.
Since I just got a new phone for which CyanogenMod isn't available, I wrote an Xposed module which mimics this feature. My new phone happens to be an MTK6589 dual SIM device (Tronsmart TS7), so I also added support for the dual SIM modifications MediaTek made.
It's in a very early stage and mostly untested. It "works" insofar as the roaming icon is gone and I get a data connection without enabling roaming. I don't know if it properly detects when you're really roaming. It should, but I can't test it for now since I don't live near the border and don't have a working foreign SIM. If somebody could test whether it actually works, that would be greatly appreciated!
Requirements:
Xposed Framework
It *should* work on any Android version Xposed runs on, but so far I've only tested it on my TS7's stock 4.2.1.
Play Store?
I intend to publish it there as well, but only after it has been a bit more thoroughly tested and enough people reported that it works and doesn't cause any issues.
Source code:
https://github.com/leromarinvit/NationalRoaming
Version history (old versions here):
v0.2 - 2013-08-29 - fix Android 4.3 compatibility
v0.1 - 2013-08-25 - initial release
Technical details:
The module works by hooking pollStateDone() in com.android.internal.telephony.gsm.GsmServiceStateTracker. This function notifies listeners when the roaming state changes. So to fake the roaming state everything else sees, we only have to change it before this function is called. The logic is simple: We're roaming if and only if the MCC (mobile country code - first three digits of the numeric operator id) stored on the SIM and provided by the network differ.
In the past, I've manually patched framework.jar for some ROMs for my device and some others, by modifying isRoamingBetweenOperators()* to follow the same logic as this module. With Xposed available now, writing this as a module seems like a much cleaner solution that will work on many more devices than one could reasonably maintain manually, and with much less effort.
* I initially tried to hook this function with Xposed. However, this didn't work, because while the function exists in MediaTek's stock ROM, it never seems to be called.
I tried you module, but it doesn't work for me. I still have to enable "roaming" to get a data connection. The app "phono" shows "roaming" if I use a national roaming provider.
My network operator is "three austria", using only 3G (UMTS) networks but allows national roaming on the 2G network of "t-mobile austria". My phone is a Nexus 4 with stock rom (Android 4.3) , the XPosed framework works for XPrivacy, MaDaCo Toolkit and NFC LockScreenOff Enabler.
Can I help to find a solution?
Edit: Thanks for your dev version, works great for me now.
Thank you very much, oma, for this great little module --> this is really useful for me...!
Was anyone able to actually test it yet, either by roaming onto a foreign network, or popping in a foreign SIM?

Yes, for me its works perfect.
I have national roaming, and the "R" sign is gone -> so i can switch off the data roaming, which is much safer....
Thanks again.
I'm living in Austria using Hutchinsons Network "3". Yesterday I tested your module near the Czech Republic and it works perfect!
With data roaming disabled data transfer in the czech network did not work (as expected) but swiching between "3"'s austrian 2G-networks works fine.
Congratulation, great work. Let us know when we can find your program in google's play store.

That's good to hear! Before I put it on the Play Store, I want to add an activity that does some sanity checks (is Xposed installed? enabled? module enabled?) and tells the user what to do if anything isn't set up correctly so I don't get loads of "I installed this and it doesn't do anything, there's not even a launcher icon!!!1" comments.
This app might prove useful to me when I visit my home country in a few months.
Many thanks, it's suppose to working fine in my MTK6589 device, roaming R sign is gone, I will report some more results after a week when I am roaming in other state.

You can't receive incoming calls any more? This definitely shouldn't happen, and is a major bug. Thanks for catching this! Does the problem go away when you disable National Roaming or Xposed?
Edit: This seems to be a combined GSM/CDMA/LTE device, correct? Which of the radios are you using, i.e. what's your provider and which network type is it?

Difference with GravityBox Implementation ?
Hi,
Thanks a lot for this module, it was on my todo-list for months.
Could you explain me quickly the differences with GravityBox's implementation ?
It seems to me that theirs lake per-SIM handling, am I right ?
Corresponding commit in GravityBox is :

So you have a Korean SIM, but are currently in Vietnam, right? Which provider are you roaming on, do you know which technology it uses (GSM/UMTS or CDMA)? CDMA could potentially be a problem with the current implementation. But the most important question is still: Does the problem go away if you disable National Roaming?

That's cool, I haven't seen this yet. Thanks! The biggest differences seem to be that GravityBox only supports 4.2+ (or at least it did last time I checked), but the implementation looks cleaner. It should support MTK dual SIM as well (the "Gemini" stuff).

On my Sony Xperia Z LTE is not working with the module activated :crying:
I'm on a pocophone f1 (64gb) running lineage os (android 9) and the latest version of magisk with no problems..... Almost.
I noticed that where I got 4g cell service, I get h+. No 4g (much less lte.)
Instead of saying "oh well" I decided to take to Google and tackle the issue. What I found is that sometimes you need to edit some things in the Mobile Network Options (this was the case on my old phone), well to my dismay I found that clicking on the Mobile Network Options did either of these or both.
-instantly take me back to the main settings screen with a "com.android.phone keeps stopping" message if attempted multiple times,
-stay on the same screen after I click it, the signal strength indicator in the notification bar/status bar will go blank for a couple seconds before redetecting my mobile network provider and go back to its h+ signal.
Please help I don't want to have to reset my phone unless it is the ONLY option, I already reinstalled magisk via twrp, I checked for lineage os updates and restarted my phone several times. I know that the pocophone's cell band works with my provider because I got 4g/lte before I put this custom rom on this.
(I am using Cricket Wireless BTW)
Thanks in advance.
Did you have a resolution that worked? I'm on Cricket in Virginia, US and was curious since I saw how few 4G bands it has.

I had returned to MiUi for a while but after a couple months decided to go back to lineage using the now updated firmware.
I'm still using it and it is working fine, the crashes in the settings were fixed, but I still only get h+ data. I switched preferred networks and in the busiest town near me (Jackson CA) I was able to get a tiny short lived sliver of LTE, before getting no signal at all. So I stuck with H+ because that was the only network I got reception on.
I understand that the pocophone has limited LTE signal in the US, but I used to be able to get 4g on MiUi. I'm planning on upgrading to the Mix 3, but I'd still like to get this resolved for future pocophone users.
Quick Update, I still have my good 'ol poco f1, still with h+ data, but I didnt really notice speed differences from 4g that much, but when I go to folsom, (where I go to college now), I get normal LTE.
I'm switching to a fairly new OS called POSP https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/rom-posp-v3-0-0-alpha-1-beryllium-t3965821 which brings android 10 to the poco f1, will report that later on in a different thread :3

POCO F1 has modified vendor image! if you are using lineage of 7-8-2019 (before it got reported and development stopped) , that version had its own vendor image making 400mb LOS to 700+mb LOS,
having said that!
you still need to flash firmware , use 9.6.27-9
https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
now lets say you are on that firmware!
modified vendor creates strange Network issues and com.android.xxxx crashing notifications if YOU EVER HAVE/HAD used USB TETHERING on 3g network!
the modifited vendor dumps 3g log stats on /data/system/netstats which makes network configuration faulty and system UI keeps crashing restarting making mobile data also crash and restart
Perminant solution is NONE
temporary solution
1. avoid usb tethering on 3g
2. whenever such happens, put device on AIRPLAIN MODE and DELETE all the files in /data/system/netstats and REBOOT POCO
