I have recently been getting notices to my Dinc about the update available for my phone. I have rooted my phone running 2.2 and have been very happy with how it works and the functionality I get from it...the only thing I dislike is that I can't do speech to text using my Bluetooth headset and I am able to deal with the poor battery life. If i update to this new 4.08.... will I lose my root control? I use my phone to tether my tablet and don't want to lose that...plus I don't want more bloat on my phone and don't really feel like trying to root my phone again if this update screws things up.
Is there a way I can prevent this update? What about stopping the reminder? Thanks in advance.
Hey there everyone, so since i flashed the CM10 nightly from the 24th, wifi has been nearly completely broken for me. You may have seen my posts where i described how my phone barely ever manages to load anything over wifi and when it does, it does so intermittently and at an extremely slow pace. This renders wifi pretty much useless on my phone. Mobile data IS working though.
Now, i first thought it might just be an issue with the nightly i was using, but this issue persisted on the nightlies from the 25th and 26th of this month (which i did full wipes between). So then, since i wanted to stay with Jelly Bean, i decided to try out Tgascoignes AOSP Jelly Bean (another full wipe here), but then this same issue was there as well. Then, i figured i'd try the first Jelly Bean CM10 nightly, since everything was working great on that one, but then this issue with wifi was still there.
So then i thought it must be an issue with Jelly Bean, so i went back to the most trustworthy and stable ROM i have used so far - One Maximus V2.1 with ICS. Then, this issue still persisted.
So, the tl;dr version of this is, wifi isn't working on any ROM for me and i can't seem to do anything to fix it and i really need some help with this. Do you guys think it might be a hardware issue? My router has been working perfectly for other wireless devices in my house. What plan of action would you recommend? Any help will be very very highly appreciated.
Also, the reason that i'm posting this as a new thread is because this isn't the same wifi antenna problem that has been documented a lot in the other thread. My wifi reception doesn't improve or vary depending on where i press on my phone and that's not the issue at all. If this post still doesn't deserve it's own thread then mods, please remove it and i will ask for help elsewhere.
The most complete restore would be to fastboot oem lock and.run the RUU for your device.
If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what will and neither will HTC I suspect, they'll likely replace the motherboard.

Well, i fully restored my phone back to stock and the issue is still persisting . Mobile data is also being really weird now even though i have set the correct APNs.
I also can't update my phone from the 1.29 firmware to the 2.17 base firmware because my carrier (Virgin) hasn't bothered to put any effort towards pushing out an update.
I think i will have to claim the warranty for my phone through Virgin and hope that they don't notice that it has been re-locked as other people have had such luck too.
Does anyone else have any other ideas about this?
I had a similar problem with my sensation after flashing some custom ( & official roms not meant for my region). Try WIFIX, somewhere in the forums. This could be a WiFi radio region code problem

just do it through virgin - in uk its the retailers responsibility to repair, replace or refund it if they can't prove that the fault was caused by you unlocking it etc.. (if before 6 months after purchase)
I don't know how this has happened now but I had a feeling that there was something wrong with the WiFi antenna of my phone, so I squeezed it really tight at the top left corner where the WiFi antenna is located (as seen in the WiFi faults thread) and now all of the issues mentioned above have been fixed . I have no idea if it was just pure luck and coincidence but now my phone is working normally again. If it wasn't a coincidence, then I really hope that this issue doesn't come up again.
I feel very lucky either way right now! No more need to worry about warranty issues and such . Thanks anyway to you guys for replying though, it's good that this forum chips in to help out those that are in need of help!
Dammit i have no idea what is wrong with my phone. Wifi and mobile data were working fine for a day and a half on the stock ROM, so then i decided to re-root and flash some custom ROMs again and this annoying wifi issue is back now :S. Why would this even happen? I am honestly at such a loss with this. Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on?
I am sure you guys have heard this one before.
BTW thanks again for all the help on rooting my GNex. I did it only for experience and being able to tether my N7 to my phone and it works pretty good. The Gnex crashes sometimes while tethering.
So being on 4.0.2 and rooted stock and on Verizon I noticed several months ago my OTA updates were not being verified and thus not being installed. I was hoping the problem would go away but it has not and now my Gnex is crashing, almost daily, re booting and bugging the heck out of me with that nagging window telling me there is an update available.
Please keep in mind that I really love the tethering on my unlimited data plan and would like to keep a way to do that.
So should I try to side load the update to get to 4.04 or go back to stock? and start over.
Thanks for all the help

Can anyone point me to a fix for this problem?
Happy Holidays to Everyone,
A few years ago I sent someone a phone with a custom rom, and the sprint guys thought they could not activate it, however It technically should be able to be activated even with a custom rom.
I just wanted everyone's experiences.
Thanks and be safe this Holiday

It can be done. But as with all support, you have to know what they're talking about and be able to do what they want you to do, including changing values hidden in menus which may not exist on a non-stock ROM and things like updating a PRL. When I had cable internet trouble I always told them I rebooted the modem and restarted Windows while never touching the modem and kept messing around in CentOS.
They have no standing to help you with any custom software.
I am experiencing a very annoying situation.
C.O.D. had no issues before rooting. Used my phone a week without rooting and experienced ZERO crashes. Currently, I rooted my phone for a day. After setting up my phone I am experiencing the most annoying crashes on c.o.d... Have the same problem with my S8+ which was already already rooted before the game was released. The game just keeps crashing so I thought that the main reason was the specs of the phone. Followed the rooting guide and am using a stock ROM.
N975FXXS1ASJG_N975FOXM1ASJ2_PHN with this firmware package.
Am I lacking any updates or what?
I probably wouldn't be able to help but for some reason that just doesn't sound like enough info.
What kind of crash? Does the app fail to start or it runs for a couple matches then quits?
Are you restoring game or re-installing?
What kernel version?
Does the phone gets hotter than usual since root?
System trace?
Shouldn't be able to play it at all if u ask me.. they usually try to block that stuff so people don't try to cheat. You have to decide what is more important to you or deal with the never ending battle.
