Considering T-Mobile just released 1.27.531.8 OTA, and there are many many updates that have already been released, most recently 2.17.401.1 with Android 4.2.2 which is really nice, anyone think they will release 4.2.2 update soon? I like 4.2.2, especially coming from a Nexus 4, but I cannot use it on a daily basis because I heavily rely on wifi-calling. Many of the buildings I work in have little to no reception for any carrier lte or otherwise so wifi calling is huge.
Anyone know what needs to be tweaked in order to get wifi-calling working on 4.2.2? Does T-Mobile have any phones with wifi-calling on 4.2.2 currently?

Yes mine too -- works great on 4.1.2. Recently 4.2.2 JellyBean ROMs have come out for the HTC One. Unfortunately Wifi calling is not implemented in any of these ROMs.
I believe the Samsung Galaxy S4 is the only T-Mobile phone that is on 4.2.2 and has wifi calling implemented. Probably have to grab all the necessary files off that phone to get it working on the HTC One, otherwise we are waiting on T-Mobile to release the 4.2.2 update for the HTC One.

yes. i believe the devs on the international forum are waiting for the 4.2 wifi calling apk or whatever it is so if you can get it from someone on the s4 forum and give it to a dev over there they might be able to work with it
I am wondering if I should buy the Moto E now, or should I wait?
Let me explain. I currently own the Moto G (first gen) and I am interested in the Moto E because it has a built in Micro SD card slot. However, considering that this version of the device came out recently, I doubt that there is even a Cyanogen mod available for. I am not even sure that if it's been rooted and/or has alternative firmware available for it yet. The reason why I ask is because I use these devices as portable media players. I don't care about the phones or the 3G/4G aspect of it. I prefer it to be media player, gaming and internet access (via wifi) device. This is how I use my current Moto G.
The issue I am wondering about is the whole "Activation" thing when I buy it from either Boost Mobile or Sprint. Running the native firmware on the device, are they going to constantly nag me about activating the phone to their network, or not. If not, then I can probably buy the phone now. If not, then I will have to wait for CyanogenMod, or some alternative rooted firmware to be released.

id do some research before buying. we do have twrp and root for the lte models. no roms yet but im sure that will come in time. as for the cdma models ive never really saw any development. and without source there won't be and cm based roms yet. i cant comment on the boost, verizon or sprint models but my unlocked gsm model is more than i ever expected from a mid-range device, you won't be disappointed. my intention is to keep it until the new moto g 2015 lte model comes.
Picked up a second hand X1 and trying to work out which model it is. Having a few issues with 3g-2g switching and signal strength and want to make sure I have the best ROM installed.
Attached is the one it came with, everything is fine except the signal sometimes drops out all together even though my Samsung Mega 6.3 has 3 bars of 3G and 4 of 2G in the same location.
Bluetooth also seems to be a bit flakey with my LG Google watch sometimes disconnecting.
Turning Bluetooth on and off fixes it but its not a real solution as I need it for notifications. I also need to stick with 4.4.2 for my Google watch to work.
Any suggestions? Is this a stock rom?
the rom installed on your device is the latest for the 7D-503L ( Huawei Honor X1). wich means it's supposed to be the more advanced ROM for this specific one.
To check if your device is also a 7D-503L, look at the back of it, the model number is printed at the bottom, even if it'sprinted in chinese.
No model number printed anywhere, guessing its the Chinese version. Bad 2G/3G reception is driving me crazy on this thing, not much use as a phone if I can't get receptions.
Callers sometimes have to wait a couple of seconds before they can hear my voice too which is really embarrassing. I might try an earlier rom, looks like I am on some beta version.

Try to install the last international ROM (B102 for 7D-501L, will go to b103 by OTA after install) adpated to the 7D-503L:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jGrBBOq
your you can try the 7D-503L B009 ROM, which is supposed to be the more signal-stable:
http://www.emui.com/nsp/geturl.php?path=7D-503L_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R002C208B009.zip&rid=963
If the install fail for this last rom, it means that your model is not a 7D-503L
let us know

B009 sounds like its the best rom for this phone but its only 4.2 and I need 4.4 for my LG Android watch to work. There is a B010 out so I will try than next but I am not hopeful.
Pretty sure the problem is with the switching between towers on low signal. I can go from 4 bars to no signal in an instant in the same location at home. I tried a different networks SIM card and still no good at home. The same SIM card in a cheap 2G phone and I get 3 bar and no drop outs.
How Huawei can get is so wrong is beyond me.
In the CBD today where there is good coverage I had no problem at all with calls or signal but on the train home it was useless.
The same trip with my Galaxy Mega 6.3 gives me pretty good connection and data all the way home. I love this phone but I will have to go back to my Galaxy Mega if I can't resolve this signal issue.
B009 is KitKat 4.4.2, 400 DPI, EMUI 3.0 .
Install this ROM. (and then check if your device is a 503L, revealed by achieving the installation)
If still signal issues, try the 501L B102 adapted to 503L.
Just did a Software Update from regular phone menu.
I am on Factory Unlocked Alpha 850M on Metro PCS/Tmobile.
Did the download , notice no changes, it was a 40 meg file OTA- may use more Battery but too soon to tell.
I also tried the Samsung push update service App Update from Google Play but seemed to heat up the Phone so uninstalled Update.
Any experience with these ?
Thanks.

That is currently the latest 4.4.4 official ROM for our G850M . Hopefully Samsung will release Lollipop on ours within the next couple of weeks.
Thanks - after removing the Sim and Battery and restarting ...seems like my Battery Life which was good before is even better now ...so maybe the Software Update actually did help the phone.
Is 850M a carrier model or unlocked model sold by Samsung directly? I thought its the latter and so 850m might have received lollipop already
It didn't. It's factory unlocked. North American octa core. They've released 2 Kitkat 4.4.4 updates in the last 2 weeks. I'm guessing it'll be à while. (I hope I'm wrong)

Ah ok now I'm wondering if I should get 850m or 850f to use on tmobile. I'm on wifi for most part of the day and so low data speeds when not on wifi will be ok but I don't want to be on a model that will get slow updates or not even a published schedule for updates
in that case the att quad-core got the lollipop first. Better get that lol
Well the 850M has all the Bands for Tmobile/ Metro PCS except the emerging Band 12 so that is the one you want. Factory Unlocked with Wolfson Audio chip louder fuller speaker
Another choice for Bands is the Canada Bell Alpha but have to be unlocked and is qualcomm no wolfson audio .
Re: Verizon 6.0 OTA update, LG G3, after the update last month, my Bluetooth connections (three different headsets) became useless, with both parties to a call cutting in and out and the BT indicator going on and off repeatedly. After a series of complaints and escalations Verizon sent a replacement with Lollipop installed. Problem solved until VZW pushed the update to the new unit. Now I have the same trouble with BT. I am cell tech savvy but at the end of my patience. Has anyone experienced this issue and is there a fix? Many thanks.
I have not had the issue but I only connect to my car's built in bluetooth for call audio.
i had a little issue pairing to my plantronics voyager legend but it was getting the headset into pairing mode. once paired, flawless.... just make sure you turn off those stupid smart sensors on the headset. they cause tons of disconnect issues.
i also have it paired to a tone pro (HBS-730) and a JBL Clip, and pioneer headunit in my van. no issues.

Similar problem here. Since the Marshmallow update, I cannot pair to my Basis Peak fitness monitor, pair intermittently to my Aukey wireless headphones, and am getting erratic operation on my Wahoo Kickr Snap smart bike trainer.
No issues with my car (Hyundai) or Logitech boombox speaker with a clean install. Try deleting all of the Bluetooth devices from your phone, then delete the phone profile from the device if possible, power cycle both and pair again.
Third G3 VS985 in a row broken by MM update!
(I am the OP this thread): Third replacement unit has BT issues following the 46A update. VZW "2nd tier tech support" claims no one else has reported this issue, which is, of course, bull****.
I have an appointment in early March with an attorney who does consumer class action work. No guarantees, but she is interested in hearing more. Anyone else experiencing similar problems should message me. Thanks.

Same here (but Motorola Moto G 3rd Edition 2015 with OTA Marshmallow) . I suspect that Basis Peak is just not fully compatible to Android 6.0.1 in general.
BT issue on Marshmallow update
I have found that my G3 will now not pair with devices that use a dedicated app to pair with the phone. All other devices seem to pair normally.
I have 2 devices that use a dedicated app to sync over BT and they will not connect.
I have 2 devices that sync using the basic BT pairing method on Android and they connect no problem.
I wonder if there is an added security setting in Android 6.0 that is blocking these types of connections.
I had the same problem - won't connect to my Basis Peak, but is fine with my Pioneer radio after the update. I opened a helpdesk ticket with Basis, and here is their response:
I hope you are well. We have discovered that there is a connectivity issue with the LG G3 phone.
In mid-February, Verizon upgraded its LG G3 users to the newest Android operating system, Marshmallow (Android 6.0.0). Following this update, Verizon LG G3 customers, now running 6.0.0, became unable to sync or pair with their Basis Peaks.
When Basis became aware of this issue, our Android team began running tests to determine what was causing the incompatibility. Our team discovered that the LG G3 has trouble maintaining a stable bluetooth connection when running 6.0.0. The Peak uses a secure communication link to transmit data to your phone, which requires a more complex connection process. What is happening is that the unstable bluetooth connection of a LG G3 running 6.0.0 tends to drop before the secure communication link can be established, thus the Peak can neither pair nor sync with the phone.
Several other BT devices are having difficulties with the LG G3 handset running 6.0.0. The company, Tile, saw a BT issue with 6.0.0 and they worked with Google to develop a fix which is being rolled out with 6.0.1 While Tile’s issue was not specifically related to the LG G3, we believe that the next Android release may resolve the issue we are experiencing, as we have several customers who are able to sync while on 6.0.1.
(More information about Tile’s 6.0.0 issue can be found here: (I can't post URL's yet...)
We currently are working towards being able to validate that 6.0.1 will resolve the communication issue between the LG G3 and the Peak.
We take this situation very seriously and will update you as soon as we know more. We appreciate your patience.
Verizon pushed update to 47A today, BT issue unchanged
I was hopeful when I saw a new system update to the LG G3, but it doesn't help the Bluetooth issue with 6.0...
My JBL Flip worked fine with 46A but only supports call audio with version 47A.
Why has Verizon Wireless abandoned customers using the LG G3?
Verizon Wireless customers using the LG G3 (VS985) received a mandatory update to "Marshmallow" (6.0) earlier this year. Following the update, four of my five Bluetooth devices no longer worked reliably. Verizon referred me to LG, which in turn suggested that I contact Google.
I discovered (on this forum and Verizon's own) a large number of Verizon customers complaining that they too have had their Bluetooth functionality badly reduced. Some of us have spent additional money on higher priced devices in order to use the phone legally on the road. My hearing aid connects to the phone via BT, so I'm s*** out of luck.
Verizon's troubleshooting steps do not address the problem. There is an apparent solution in 6.0.1, but Verizon declines to make it available on the G3.
Having worked in the wireless industry, I believe nothing is pushed to Verizon customers until and unless it has been vetted and approved by the carrier. My educated guess is that Verizon failed to do proper diligence and wants to get out from under the problem by dropping support for the G3 and suggesting that customers pay to "upgrade" to a newer model.
Within the next few days, I'll be moving my numbers to one of their competitors. Verizon Wireless has failed to support a large group of its customers and deserves to lose them.

I understand what you're saying, and the frustration. If I were in the same position, I'd downgrade to 10B, root and put @xdabbeb_vs985_2.0.0 ROM on (based on 35B). All carriers tend to not care anymore once they've delivered what they expected to be their last OTA to a device.

I'd love to. However, while I'm pretty capable with RF technology, this is above my pay grade and I don't know anyone who can do it for me. Any ideas out there?
