OTA update issues

so i did get the update and dont know what is going on with the update. i get now horrible low download speed, most of the time the phone is on edge after the update before the update i had the H almost all the time on the same location. this is reason why im posting this from my laptop and not my G2 since it takes minutes to load a thread. so the question is what did it do to my device?

i manualy updated my phone and i do get H in my house now and full bars where i only had 2, one thing i did notice is that i know get g or no sign @ all from time to time, doesnt seem to effect my reseption thou. didn't see any diffrence on download speed, didnt get better or worse

well it sounds to me like you got the opposite of what the OTA was supposed to so, it was to improve the reboots bug and radio updates for better cell reception, the only thing I can think of is backup your data and run a factory reset on your phone and see if that brings things back to normal or improves anything, best of luck.

I'm glad I'm not the same.. I do notice some signal getting worst after the OTA before I was getting FULL bars at home and now its jumping from edge to 2 bar on H..

Anyone noticing horrible battery life after the OTA? I used to be able to go an entire day with normal use and still be around 40-50% when I plugged it in at night, It's been un-plugged for ~ 5 hours today and is already at 46%

Hmmm I didnt get the update or any notification of one. Can some1 tell me how I can get it?

Strange, I'm seeing the opposite. Since the update, I'm playing with it more and it seems the battery lasts twice as long.

I haven't even gotten it OTA yet, phone says system is up to date when in fact it isn't. Going to wait a bit longer, if I don't get it I'll install it manually.

Just FYI, I haven't re-rooted since OTA so no overclock or anything. Running bone stock.

JV9 working well for me

Since coming from JVO I've noticed that:
Good
In the browser about:useragent works again.
No AndroidOS bug (so far)
Speed is good
Bad
Browser scrolling ('feature') of two pages at a time still present
Shut down sound still doesn't play

Have you tried playing any 3d games to test see if the android os battery drain bug is still present? Apparently most gameloft games, cordy and bonsai blast are known to cause it

I played the Polarbit game Raging Thunder 2 yesterday for an hour. That used to cause the battery drain, but it doesn't anymore.

Just finished playing Asphalt 5 for 20 minutes.
No battery drain.

hi, what region is this jv9 for?
Is it XEU??

JV9 has so far worked exceeding well for me, too! This, coming from JVK modem, on CM7...

Hey, isn't BUJV9 UK branded Vodafone firmware? I would like to know if the firmware has any Vodafone branding or apps if I install this firmware.
Thanks.

Its vodafone. The only added app i could see is a '360 update' app, for OTA updates i think. Easy enough to remove. And no branding. I installed Brotuck's rom on top anyway.

No Android OS bug you say.. I might have to check it out!

I'm curious did you flash the KC1 modem on top of JV9? If yes, how are you finding the reception?

hm interesting..
I might try to flash it tonight.
Can I still use CF-root JVO for this firmware too?
Please share your experience with android OS battery drain!
I would like to make sure this bug is gone before I flash it

Like has been said, the only 'branding' is a Vodafone 360 app.
I'm using the phone heavily and getting at least 16 hours out of it.
Gaming, GPS, WiFi and listening to music over Bluetooth. No battery drain as yet.
The one thing I'm doing different from when I was on JVO is that the phone is unrooted.
I'll root soon and see if any issues pop up.

Ok...I had left my phone on the table for about 20 minutes. Wifi was activated, but screen was off.
Looked at battery stats and saw that Android OS was on 29% where it had previously been 4% earlier in the day.
The last apps I had run were music player (over Bluetooth), and MyTracks.
Seems it's not quite fixed, but it seems better than JVO.

Was just about to install it and give it a try but I guess I'll wait a while longer until Samsung or someone can fix the battery drain issue. Thanks for testing and letting us know

Which locales are included in this firmware?
Is the browser finally fixed?

I have never had good success with battery life with the KC1 modem, i use JVE and the trick to activate the 850 band. Whatever i do though, i cant activate it on JV3 modem, so i stick with JVE. Reception and voice quality is good.
I haven't encountered the android OS bug myself, but i'm working from a very clean fresh phone.

KC1 works well if the reception is poor and you have to use other network's signal and not Bell's. I've had JVO on 850 come up as network not available in locations KC1 had no problem connecting in. And if you're like me skiing or hiking in the backcountry, not having a signal is an option not worth having.
Good informative thread, by the way.

Browser scrolling is still only a few pages at a time and not end to end scrolling like Froyo.
Android OS issue I had may have been due to leaving WiFi selected because it hasn't happened again in normal phone use.
Battery life is generally good.

Thanks.

Gps freezing...need help desperately

Hi all. I apologize for starting new thread. I am travelling right now and have NO access to a computer other than my epic. I am totally dependent upon my epic's gps and nav and the tapatalk search is not helping.
I upgraded to stock eg22 and then odined cwm and su to get root. Other than that, I am totally stock
The gps is freezing constantly when in navigation. It's losing signal and totally locking the driver so that the indicator up top says thereis a lock but there isn't.
Nothing gets rid of the frozen icon other than reboot. I tried gps on/off from quick menu, airplane mode, ending all tasks, turning off using deep setup menus....gps is useless until reboot.
It only seems to freeze during nav mode whereas regular maps seems ok...
Please help to point me towards a fix or workaround.
Thanks all!
Josh

This is a known bug with the leaks. I believe it is caused by the battery getting too hot. Try running it without the charger on and see if it goes further without a lockup. Best bet is to restore a froyo ROM but you will still be stuck with the EG22 modem until you get to a computer. I assume you have the EG22 modem already which is the best for GPS on EG22 leaks.

There is also a program in the market called GPS Aids (free) which some people have said worked for them. I still believe it is heat though.

Edited...I think you may be stuck without a laptop to get back to EC05 or EE03 modem. Unfortunately that is one of the issues with the leak.

You are correct that I am on eg22 modem. I didn't even think it could be battery issue from overheating. I can try leaving keyboard open too. That used to help with heat running wmwifi back in my wm days.
I'd rather try that before going back to ec05 rom, although would use flashable ec05 rom or modem if I have too as I'm here for another 6 days and need gps as the roads have no signs for 5-10 mile clips...
Thank you both!

Hehe...I tried another approach which you may have in your files somewhere, a ROM that also installs the EC05 modem regardless of what modem you are on. Bonsai had ROMs that update the modem but only checked for earlier modems before swapping, not later versions.

Good luck Josh. Another trick you can use is to use the GPS for clips at a time. If there is a 20 mile run before an exit, leave it off until you get near the exit. Then start it again from there.
Let me know if you agree about the heat problem, it is a theory I am working on.

Good idea Kenny. From what I remember reading, the freezes do seem to be after 20 to 30 minutes. I didn't even think of that. Its a lot easier than finding an e-bar or library and trying to install Sammy drivers and such. Is that even possible?...lol

Before I went on vacation last week, I flashed back to Bonsai 4.1.3 because I knew I would need my GPS for the trip. However, I forgot to flash the EC05 modem so I was still running the EG22 modem all week. During the trip my GPS would loose signal during Navigation about every hour or two, but unlike the EG22 ROMs, it would regain signal within 20-30 seconds and recover without a reboot. I've since switched back to the EC05 modem and have yet to lose GPS signal once. Just thought I would share this in case it provides any insight.

Please don't make this assumption without evidence.
This sounds similar to the EC05 GPS crash bug. In the last EG22 GPS thread I asked folks to record a logcat so I could very if this is the problem, but nobody took up that offer.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have your GPS crash fix, but I've never had any issue with GPS on 4.1.3, or any EC05 ROM for that matter. I use Navigation pretty extensively at one of my jobs, and it's always been reliable.
I can't compare the EG22 issue to the EC05 issue because I've never experienced one on EC05. With EG22, the GPS crashes after a period of Navigation and requires a reboot of the phone to fix it. My experience on vacation was similar, except that the GPS would recover after 20 or 30 seconds(no reboot required). This was running a EC05 ROM (bonsai 4.1.3) with the EG22 modem. Once I replaced the EG22 modem with the EC05, I was unable to replicate the issue.

I believe the EG22 issue to be different and possibly heat related. With these leaks we have had random reboots, batteries refusing to charge due to temperature and the gps freezing after an hour or so. With EC05 I had the issue where it would not lock from the start without a reboot but EG22 (and the other modems) just stop at some point and mostly require a reboot to get going again.

Certain of that? I know they've pulled in some of my fixes in the past, I'm just not sure about that one.
The EC05 GPS crash problem is due to a synchronization bug that results in interleaved requests to the modem, which gets hosed up. In practice, it happens with relatively low probability so most folks don't run into it, but it is consistently reproducable.
Now, there's probably a separate bug in EG22 that causes the GPS to puke for another reason. If the sync bug is still present, and in response to the GPS puking the RIL issues multiple request to the modem, it could cause a crash just like EC05, but it happens more frequently due to the modem bug.
With the crash bug is fixed, EG22's GPS may still puke, but as you experienced (assuming Bonsai is patched), it will likely fix itself after 20-30 seconds instead of requiriing a reboot.

Do you have reason to believe the GPS issue is related to the others, or is it because they manifest in the same leaked version?
Anyways, kernel panics and watchdog reboots are hard to debug. But a GPS crash is something we can at least log and investigate further. Which is why I'm interested in obtaining a log from someone who either experiences it, or can reproduce it.

every time i go on a road trip i flash my phone back to the last stable rom i used. no way i'm leaving NY these days with a leaked rom
for the record i drove from NYC to manchester TN via DC on EC05 with the GPS and the music player running the whole time and never lost connection for more then a minute in either direction

Bonsai did pull in your TWS, and keyboard patches, but none of the GPS stuff.

Im currently running scrambled eggs (eg22 rom) and im running the ee03 modem...my gps starts instantly but after 15 minutes or so, it just disconnects and searches for a signal...i simply exit google nav and restart it and gps is working just like it was...it's annoying but i can deal with it till OTA drops...its not a modem issue...it has to do with eg22 and how samsung has set up gps settings in gingerbread..Im no dev btw, just my 2 cents lol

Fair enough. In any event, I'm still willing to take a look at a logcat if someone affected by this problem can grab one.

EL30 stock observations

I have installed the EL30 update after going back to stock EC05>EI22. Here is what I have observed about EL30 (I have not applied any other fixes nor rooted yet):
-The upside down horizontal calibration for compass is fixed
-Keyboard lag is gone
-GPS improved from locking only 4 satellites to 6-7 (the GPS Fix I think, could can allow more, upto 9-12 under best conditions), so I think this made be good enough, but balancing power for battery consumption.
-"Android System" service aka CIQ is definitely gone.
-Haven't experienced speaker feedback squeal yet, although I did on EI22 after I had used voicemail and google voice search.
I have installed CWM 5.0.2.7 and rooted. I had to do the CWM flash twice (once to get SU on and open Root Explorer so I could delete the install recovery script, since there's no EL30 Kernel yet that takes out the install-recovery.sh script.

I am showing only 2 bars in my house with an Airave when I normally get 4.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No, I'm getting about the same signal with my Airave. The wifi looks like more bars than EI22.

Has the rotation sensor been jerky for you in the past (skymap/yelp/other AR apps) and has EL30 made it smooth again?

Seems snappier. GPS is definitely better. Had a lock as good as 1m today for a short time while driving around and it was cloudy. 4m was the norm. Will test the modem over the next few days.

Man, if the keyboard skip is fixed and the GPS too, I'll be happier than a dead pig in the sun. The wife and I made a run from Houston to Ft Worth this weekend. I had to pull the battery about 7 times on the trip to get the GPS back on track. Extraordinarily annoying when you are trying to find your way in a place you've never been before.
No OTA here yet, probably will go the manual route. Thanks for the good news on the update, look forward to having a phone I don't have to cuss out all the time!
Sleeb

Preliminary results for me with EL30 modem running EI22 Legendary is: ~7% TWS while at home. I'll report back after a normal day at work and then going home.
With EI22 modem I would average ~3% TWS.
It's a shame I'd have any TWS since I live in a metropolitan area. Stupid Sprint coverage.

I think a lot of you need to remember that sprint is doing all kinds of stuff to towers lately and other issues may make your signal bars report differently. I'm still on ei22 and while typing this I watched my signal bars go from 0 - 2

Yes rotation sensor was upside down starting in EB13 Froyo and has been until EL30. You could fix it though by doing your horizontal calibration upside down. Now you don't have to.

Funny, I was just about to post a little message about my stupidity and battery life.
Since I keep things mostly stock, my upgrade routine was to backup apk/data, and system data in MyBackup, then reflash back to stock EI22, install the EL30 update, do the CWM/root dance, and restore stuff in MyBackup. All went well, but my battery life was about %70 of what it was. For the first 2 days I just figured I was playing with the phone too much, but today I started plowing through the settings. What I found was that even though I had restored everything in MyBackup, not every setting stuck. For instance, Facebook was set to update every hour even though it had previously been set to never update. I also had to re-freeze DRM after the install. There may still be more things I haven't found.
The point is after an upgrade, especially if you have re-installed stuff, go through every setting you can think of that could be killing your battery. It's possible that some app has been inadvertently set to connect too often and that is what is killing the battery too fast.

That was the very first thing I tried and it hasn't made a difference.

LRX21Q Improvements

So, I manually flashed the recent OTA. Felt like sharing what I have noticed.
For one thing, EVERYTHING is snappier. Going into recent apps is fast, home screen and apps don't take forever to load. That's a definite improvement. If it changes after running for awhile, I'll update.
Google Now's Always On voice recognition now works. I couldn't get it to work while away from the Google Now launcher before the update.
Uncertain about battery consumption with browsers yet. I'm hopeful, and the back of my tablet not being a toaster oven all the time while browsing on Xda gives me hope, but again, this is me just being hopeful.
Nothing for enabling the notification LED yet. Weird.
All I can see. Share what you've seen here.

Thanks for the impressions. Hopefully the excessive power usage while using browser is fixed or will be soon.
I will note though that even though it shouldn't need to be used to avoid using Chrome, I think that using Tapatalk to browse XDA is a better experience. IMO, of course.

I noticed this too and im glad it wasnt only me. Certain websites cause the tablet to heat up, sometimes taking up as much as 40-50% CPU in the background until i force stop it.

Just flashed and rerooted. I hope its smooth now

can you confirm that CF-Auto-Root still works with the latest OTA?

Yes.

Will do a factory reset after this update to get a smooth new start

Any updates on the heated section next to the camera where the processor is at?

That heat is coming from the processor, that just means it's just under heavy load.

Sadly, WiFi 802.1x auth still doesn't work (PEAP) and the "Sign-in to Wifi network" screen is still blank for me. (Tested with Cisco Wireless LAN Controller at work.)

I've noticed the same thing. Basically the stutter and lags have pretty much been fixed. For those wondering the home screen refresh has also been fixed.
I've been testing battery life today in combination with the chrome beta browser. Where I used to get 4/5 hours of sot with a single charge I'm now at 4.15 minutes of sot with 52% of battery left.
The new update has done wonders for the n9 and it just shows how much lollipop is still in it's infancy and still needs some updates to get everything sorted out. I'm sure it's the same for the Nexus 6.

IS this refresh the re-draw of the launcher when turning the device orientation in an app and then exiting?

I think he is referring to the re-draw that seems to occur randomly when returning back to the home screen. Based on the impressions I may just flash the factory image to LRX21Q if these improvements are widespread. I still haven't received the OTA and can't sideload it because my tablet is still on the pre-release BL for some reason.

Was never a problem with my nexus 9. Working flawless.

It feels faster for sure, doesn't seem to get as hot either but maybe it does.

Yes I definitely see the improvement. I was one of the first buyers on the first day. But the unit I got has defected NFC chip. I returned it and got a replacement. Latest update definitely fixed the stutters and lags. I can vow for this.

Is this under heavy usage?

Overheating and Screen Flickering
Do you think that the overheating issue near the camera and the issue where the screen is flickering when the device is not at full brightness, can be fixed by a software update or a firmware update?

Just a heads-up, this OTA provides a VERY significant performance improvement - there was a Kernel regression that they fixed on this build regarding memory cgroups. Its very noticeable while using the tablet with this new patch.

I haven't noticed a difference yet but I didn't do s full wipe when I flashed.
