Just wondering how many of you have updated the leaked 5.7.893 weather you were bone stock or rooted. Is it worth updating or should I wait for the OTA? I have no intention of rooting at this time.
Interesting to see who is going to wait and who took the plunge.
I'm rooted and rocking the 5.7.893 and loving my Bionic now. Pretty much fixed all my problems except the bluetooth skips, but I'm hoping the final OTA cures that.
Im rooted and at 5.7.893 love it.

If I were to update to 5.7.893 will I be able to get the final OTA whenever that comes around? I don't want to root so I just want to make sure that I will get the final OTA without having to do something other than accepting it.
I don't think anyone can be 100% certain that when the final OTA drops, we'll just be able to accept it and install. If we do have to take some steps to get it, I'm sure the fantastic bionic devs will figure them out. If you're having big problems, install it. If you're not, don't. For my Bionic the update was the best thing I could have done for it.

Listen to Bionicblue's advice. If you have problems that interfere with phone usage, either return it...or do the leak. If you do not, wait for the update path.
There is no assurance using the leak will be able to return to the update path without doing something. Generally updates are tied to some kind of stock. Sure, the awesome devs on XDA do get around to the updates and do wonderful jobs. So root and futurecooked roms will be an option.
But, if you can wait, wait. If you just gotta jump in...do it with a smile on your face...not that one...a real smile. I've been here going on 5years. Never once has there been a failure.
Stock 5.7.893 with webtop. still ocationally getting no network warnings but I think someone said that was a sim card problem and that a sim replacement fixes it.
I did

I did the three updated ending with 5.7.893 and i have to say i am starting to love my phone the way that i had hoped i would when i first got it. It's so much faster and more stable than before. And now i can enjoy having 4g. That's working so much better for me now.
Is anyone here having the dreaded no 3g connectivity issue? Just took the plunge and updated from 5.5.893 to 5.7.893 with webtop rocking Shift3r 2.3.1 ic3 blurry everything was last night now getting no 3g or icon stays white. 4g our blazing fast. Hopefully I can get a new Sim card and be fixed
I did the update from stock to 5.7.893 and love the change. Camera is wicked fast now and over the phone seems a lot more stable. I have the frequent data drops but I had that before the update (tried all of the recommended fixes with no real improvement).

I just started having this problem yesterday, too. I am on 5.7.893 stock rooted +webtop. 3G connects, sometimes, but never turns blue (what is that, getting an IP address or something?) so there is no connectivity. 4G works just fine.

At first I thought it was just a Verizon issue, but my daughter's LG Ally seems to be working just fine on the 3G.
Do you think they're blocking the new radio, perhaps? I would've thought more people would be reporting problems on this forum if that was the case.
I really don't think it's a SIM card issue, because the SIM card is for 4G. The CDMA radio inside the phone is what controls the 3G, to my knowledge.
I'm trying to restore back to Liberty 3 (based on 5.5.886) but obviously that will not downgrade my radio firmware, so I really don't know what that will fix. I will post back with results of that.
EDIT: Restoring back to Liberty 3 on 5.5.886 didn't work. Going to try stock fresh of 5.7.893 and see, but something tells me this is a Verizon issue with the Bionic. Luckily most of the VZW reps have Bionics so they should be reporting the problem.

I talked to a Verizon rep and she said all LTE phones have the connectivity problems and have been slow fixed and that it is a software issue and not the SIM or hardware or verizon.
She also stated that Motorola phones when you pull the battery you should leave it out for a minimum of 2 minutes per Motorola or you are not really fixinf the problem just post poning it when a battery pull is required

So it is a software problem that they're rolling out OTA updates, or that we should try to solve this software problem by doing a 2 minute battery pull? I have kinda been afraid to ask a rep since I have rooted and installed these OTA leaks. With the new OTA that blocks root, I feel like there is some super nerd in the back room just trying to **** with us for getting off stock.
I'm stock, unrooted and installed the leak several days ago. I concur with the feedback given in this thread. My phone is fast and stable and I haven't had a single data drop (I'd only experienced dropped data once or twice since launch day).
The problem I'm chasing now is fringe signal hopping and the leak did not address it. What I'm seeing is that my wife's thunderbolt will easily hang on to a weak 4G signal as my bionic flips to 3G. This isn't a huge deal for me as it only happens a few places in my home yet it's still frustrating. The phones will sit side by side on the same coffee table both with 4G connections and suddenly the bionic flips to 3G.
I'll give credit where credit is due. HTC's latest gingerbread update on the bolt along with a mature radio version has made it a solid phone. Battery life on the bolt is now every bit as good as it is on the bionic. I wouldn't go back to it but it's nice not having to troubleshoot problems on the wife's phone. It just works.

Sometime's something obvious is overlooked, if it's a night time issue verify via battey & Data manager/ battery mode is not on nighttime saver, as most custom roms come with this as the default

Thanks. Night mode was on, but it wasn't the culprit. I changed it to Performance Mode. Data Saver is also already unchecked. Background data is on, Data roaming is on. The 3G is "connecting", and even in Phone Status it says it's connected, but the icon never turns blue.
If you aren't sure what I mean by turning blue, here's what usually happens when the phone changes connection modes. It is consistent through 3G, 4G, and Wifi.
For example's sake, I take it out of airplane mode, then this is what happens.
3G appears next to the cell signal icon. It is white.
4-5 seconds later it turns blue and you can now browse and sync, etc.
Same thing happens with wifi and 4G. The problem here is the 3G never turns blue. It just stays white and no apps can browse.

Did absolutely nothing and it just resolved itself. I think mine was an issue with the Verizon towers and/or network. Hope yours was that easy, too.
luckily mine was that easy too. I texted a friend at vzw and he said he never heard of the issue (obviously since he doesn't fart around with rooted phones and OTA updates that aren't released yet). I told him I was going to come by and grab a new Sim card and last night I tried disabling 4g again just to see what would happen and sure enough 3G kicked in, turned blue, and everything was A okay. Maybe the update just needed a day to settle down?

The official OTA should fix the $G lte network connection loss when switching between 3g and 4g.
The battery pull is for anytime you need to pull the battery for a problem or to assure you are recieving OTA. She also said that if you pull the battery for the manufactured recommended time your device will find OTA faster if they are rolling them out.

Hi guys, I started having issues with my SMS this morning. Now, I can't send messages reliably, I'm not sure if I'm receiving them properly now either. On top of that, I am was having issues with 3g, sometimes the icon would not appear at all, and others it would not load web pages or send data via internet enabled apps, i.e. facebook. I must stress that I did not change absolutely anything, and that it just started happening. could this be a flaw with cognition? or is it just AT&T being... well... AT&T?
I assume it's just AT&T being AT&T, I had issues with that exact scenario about a month ago. Cog is working fine for me, but you can always try to backup and re-flash and see if that helps.

oh and for the record I'm running 3.04. Looking in to 4.1 anyways, wondering if I can update it without having to wipe everything. Can I restore apps + Data if I go from 3.04 to 4.1, or will that cause all sorts of hairy issues still?
No problem at all. Did you do your research around the forums and see all the reviews about the inspire not being all that it's cracked up to be? Not trying to sway your decision or anything, just making sure you know what you'll be getting into.

I don't think I wiped anything when I updated, but when I restored system apps with TiBu, I got some FC's when it came to a few of the system apps and data, don't recall which ones though.

Since upgrading will take you off the upgrade path, I was just wondering if there is something on the new build that isn't working.
Like camera, video, data etc.
Honestly, I wouldn't jump on it unless you really need it (I've heard it makes GSM work a lot better). AFAIK, it hasn't even been rooted yet, which means you are giving up a LOT just to get ICS, which you can do from the stock rom and safestrap.
If you root just before flashing and use voodoo rootkeeper you can keep root. I unfortunately forgot to re-root after I needed to flash SBF (wouldn't update). So far everything works for me. Well except root that is. But to tell you the truth. I only used root to change the build.prop and have write access to system (notifications etc). Owh and freeze apps. But thats it.
So far so good! The battery won't last as long as on 219. But by how much I'll have to test. On 219 I ran in 2G mode all the time. So it isn't a real fair comparison. Yesterday I turned off all sync and push and disabled some applications. So we'll see how long it will last today.. I took it off the charger around 07:50 AM. So don't expect an update 'till tomorrow. It's only 08:50 AM where I live .
For the gsm users i recommend this update if you can go with no root
The rom is actually more responsive and most importantly, it dun drop the line that often
And ics with WORKING camera & video, not much is missing actually
According to this, you can keep root if you install OTA Rootkeeper, back up root, temp unroot, restore root, and THEN apply the update.
I updated and kept root and am very impressed with every aspect of performance on this build.
Battery life the first day was excellent, above average considering I was playing with the phone a lot.
Radio performance on VZW's network with this new baseband is exceptional.
Data throughput and transitions from cellular to WiFi and maintaining data connection were all distinctly improved. I am in a marginal 3g only area where I live and work 90% of the time, but I can go a few miles away to get LTE coverage.
While I cannot openly recommend flashing non revertable leaks to anyone, I cannot say enough about how much I am enjoying this build right now. I have yet to find any downside beyond the fact that we have no full firmware files for this build yet.
This is a superlative build and anyone willing to accept the risk should not be disappointed.
25 hours later there's 30% battery remaining. Made 5 1-minute phone calls. Played about 20 minutes of 3D games. Used internet a couple of times (checked email, whatsapp, some internet apps) and I would say at 90% 3G connection. So that's not so bad I would say.
Stuff not Working
For me, my Facebook app (built-in) is not working, and constantly crashes. I finally disabled the app completely to stop getting the crash pop-ups.
Also, built-in MotoCast disappeared, and it does not show up for me in the Play Store (probably because they have not released an ICS version of the app for non-tablets yet in the Store).
Other than those 2 so far, everything I have tested and checked works like a dream come true.
Everything is working great for me. The ota rootkeeper worked as well. Im running the leak with root.. the facebook app that came on the leak needs update. Its an older version. May be the reason

Please be more specific about the headphones.
I haven't had any issues with Klipsch X10 headphones at all, but mine is only a 2 prong headset, without microphone or call control features.
I've had some odd headphone issues and I am NOT on the leak.
I'll plug in headphones, but the phone won't switch from the loudspeaker to the headphones. Unplugging and replugging the headphones in usually fixes the issue. Kind of annoying, but I use headphones so infrequently on my phone anyway that I haven't done any hard investigating on whether it is a software or hardware issue.
I'm leaning towards hardware though, because IIRC it happens on stock and the GB-ICS frankenbuilds.
This may be a stupid question but does anyone know if there is going to be a way to reverse being taken off the upgrade path? Im new to the forums and I just started getting into rooting and flashing roms. Im running a nightly build of the aokp ics with cm9. Im happy with it so far but would love to use my camcorder again lol. Are there any other issues with this version of ics?
I dont know about reversing the upgrade path but i do know that everything works really great on my d4 running the leaked ics.

You SHOULD be able to get back on the upgrade path using the same method others have used to go from the .200 ICS leak to the .206 ICS leak. That involves a partial flash of the .219 fastboot file to essentially trick the update into thinking you are still on .219. But there are no guarantees.
I see. Thank you for your input. One more thing does anyone know if the gummy rom has been updated? I was using it for a few days but decided to go to the aokp for better 4g functionality.
My girlfriends D3 has gradually been getting worse with poor reception, dropping calls, not being able to make/receive calls or texts.
Data seems to work fine. This weekend it just finally stopped being able to make calls or send texts from our home.
If i drive a few miles down the road or to a higher elevation i was barely able to call *228 to update roaming.
I can still use the browser over 3G and Wifi, just no tethering, phone or text.
The phone shows 3G and a full signal, but as soon as i initiate a call it drops to 1 bar.
Another thing we noticed this morning is that when calling the phone it goes straight to voicemail.
I had tried changing the Network mode from Global to CDMA yesterday and at one point got an error message saying "No CDMA networks were found. Would you like to switch to Global Mode?"
Phone has been rebooted and battery pulled along with some other diagnostic tests that the verizon techs did over the phone yesterday.
The only thing i had done to this phone was i applied the TBH tethering hack without root over a year ago. It worked fine up until now.
The phone has the latest System version 5.7.906.XT862 and the latest Baseband N_03.18.32P.
Im thinking of reverting the TBH Tethering hack back using the instructions in this post
I spoke to Verizon tech support yesterday and they said there was some trouble in our area, but my Droid X is still able to connect so i doubt thats the issue.
Does anyone think that an OTA update from Verizon may have screwed something up due to the TBH hack being applied?
The GF is frantic about getting her phone back. I can take out insurance for 6.99 pr/month and pay $100 to get her a new phone, but if reverting the TBH hack and maybe rooting and installing a new ROM might help, im all for it.
Any thoughts? ROM advice? Was reading up about the AOKP Build 40 ROM, but wondering if all the hoop jumping will help or if the D3 has a hardware issue that has just got progressively worse.
Wont you help a poor guy keep the peace with his lady please?
I don't think it's that. It's possible that the 3G in the area is good but 1x is crap. 3G is just used for data while calls/texts are used on 1x. What is the PRL versions your phone and her phone have?

Just tried updating them both and the PRL's stayed the same.
About an hour ago i was in the middle of backing up her phone and it started ringing. I was able to answer the call and now im able to make and receive texts and calls. There must have been a tower issue. The signal still drops to 2 bars when i initiate a call, but at least its working again.
She says its been flaky for quite a while with dropping calls and texts not getting sent. Im all backed up and was thinking of rooting and trying a ROM on this. Not sure if itll help with signal issues, dropped calls or texts not being sent or received.
She was also complaining about the thing pocket dialing, and other random stuff happening like her browser launching and texts being sent etc. I saw it this morning. I picked up her phone to bring it downstairs and saw that there was a text reply box open with a bunch of jibberish typed in it. She says that sort of thing happens all the time.
Think maybe a good stable ROM might help?
After a little more research i came across Minimoto here at XDA. Minimoto Link
Seems to be the way to go if im sticking to a GB ROM. I see you contributed some to it. Would you happen to know where some step by step instructions for getting it installed on a non rooted D3 might be?
1) Root it.
2) Install Safestrap 3.05.
3) Reboot to it, create ROM-Slot 1.
4) Factory reset and wipe cache and delvik.
5) Flash the ROM.
6) Set her up with goodness.
Though if random crap is popping up, I suspect the digitizer is flaky.

Have you heard of digitizer issues with D3's before?
Any recommendations on which rooting method to use?
Do i have to remove the TBH Tether hack before rooting, installing Safestrap or Flashing the ROM?
So i take it your in agreement that this would be a good choice for a stable no frills GB ROM?
the random stuff can be from from a bad digitizer, dirt/grime on digitizer/edge or a software conflict
try cleaning screen around the edge, and/or flash rom/sbf
you need to remove bootstrap before safestrap, tbh hack should be fine
i haven't use minmo, but many have, also you could look at

Thanks sd_shadow I think ill stick with minimo most likely. Too many dam ROMS to choose from!.
Ok so from the hours of reading i did yesterday, i found a working link for motofail. It appears it is the best (or only) way to root the D3 if on 906.
From there i thought i could just install Safestrap 3.05 which i managed to track down as well.
I never installed Bootstrap, so does this even apply? Is there a factory bootstrap included with the D3?
I believe i read that minimoto has its own tethering feature included. So are we sure i dont have to revert the TBH tethering hack?
Some great links in your signature by the way. If the digitizer keeps acting up, i may try replacing it. I did clean it last night and will see if things improve.

Just install safestrap on your safe system after root don't worry about bootstrap.

No

No you do not have to undo the tether hack it is a hardwear hack not a software hack and will work on any rom no matter if the rom already has tethering in it.

I recently flashed the (Unofficial) PAC Man ROM over night, and noticed my signal bars were blank. I have 4G (It says sometimes) but when I check my signal strength, it's 0 dBm 99 asu. It can see my Network, says I'm in service, and gives me my IMEI number. However, my phone number is unknown. I'll upload screenshots, and will answer questions (Obviously) if need be. (Note: I can't post in the dev forms, as I don't have enough posts, thought I have PM'd Skeevy about the bug. ROM runs fine otherwise ) Thanks in advance.

I did have a problem today that all my roms I flashed to had no service. No matter what I did... No bars and WIFI couldn't even be turned on.
End result fix was to flash back to ATT stock US rom through RSD. Then putting CWM back through fastboot and then my customs worked fine. I'm sure it was something dumb I did that caused it, but with an unlocked bootloader, I have no fear of trying anything

Honestly, I think it has something to do with the way 4G LTE is encoded with the ROM. I've flashed stock, gone back and installed CWM and re-flashed PAC and still had the issue. But It still works, I just don't get signal bars, with 0bdm and 99ASU all the time so yeah. 3G and HSPA+ work flawlessly. If I have HSPA+ and 3G I'm fine lol.
Now that GPS is pretty much figured out, which is what I've been focused on, I'll start looking at the stock build.prop and and compare it to PAC's. Should give me some insight to the 4g issues.
I wasn't aware that all 4.2 roms had the signal issue. I see it on PAC maybe once a day and its gone within 5 minutes. I'm not 100% positive, but I think it has to do with wifi. When ever I notice a wifi issue like it not connecting as fast as it should, sure enough the grey icons follow.
Went to Taco Bell last night, saw their wifi connection but didn't connect. Got home, home wifi was slow to connect and they grays. Makes me wonder if there's an issue with the wifi queue or the phones "which internet do I use?" queue.
//Was in drive thru line for a while for 3 Beefy Crunch Burritos...in the store, the guy upfront of me in queue had an 18 item order. Looked like he was leaving the grocery store with all those Bell bags. I thought, dang, his gut's gonna like him in the morning.

Last line made me LOL.
The issue just seems to be 4G and LTE. WiFI on your PAC rom seems runs wifi great, but sometimes it disconnects (very rare for me, but I think it's for everyone in my house, we have quite a few WiFi hogs, lol). I'll just keep flashing your new roms as they come out, and hopefully it'll be fixed. Not to big of a deal if it isn't lol.
signal strength
Did you compare signal rating from your stock ROM to custom ROM?

If you have an older router, try changing the WiFi frequency from auto to 2.4ghz -- fixed my WiFi disconnect issues right up. Also, if that doesn't, then set up a static IP for your phone since, in my experience, static connects a lot faster. That's not really a bug as it is a hardware issue (an I can't afford a new router issue).
As for signal. Can't test LTE\4G. Not available in my town. 3G works fine and doesn't have any disconnect or signal issues. I can suggest to try different modems from the various fastboots.
Its just that the custom Roms don't "see" the 4g signal is all... So it gives a no signal bar. Its different from the connected bars and fully connected bars that still show signals.

I'm having major trouble lately with my turbo switching from 4G LTE to 1x, 3G, or even no signal or data signal at all. It seems to happen more when it hits 15% and the battery saver comes on. But when I turn battery saver off or hook it up to a charger it doesn't connect back up or do anything. I'm getting really frustrated by this because I cant seem to get my phone to re connect to 4G no matter what I do. I put it in airplane mode and even restart my phone; it wont work no matter what. I think its mostly because of the update to lollipop and its a glitch. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue and if there's any way to fix it besides sitting there for a half an hour wiping the cache and not being able to use the phone.
I'm not experiencing that. Did it start right after you updated? Have you done a factory data reset since upgrading to the pop? Onethng you could try is going into setting and switching it from the factory global mode to 3G/4g and see if that helps. I haven't ever needed to with the turbo but others have and successfully avaoided doing an FDR. Lemme know if that works. We'll get this figured out.
Well I came from a rooted 4.4.4 so I had to reset it back to the original in rooted 4.4.4 in order to update. So technicly yes I did do a factory reset since the update. No I haven't had any trouble since the update until recently for some reason. I've got a signal booster at my house and wondering if my phone isn't trying to switch between the booster and the actual tower, causing it to take more power which makes it loose connection because it can't decide which one to connect to. But I have perfect 4G signal with the booster so I don't see why it would want to switch.
I wouldn't imagine that it would be the booster since you're signal is solid there, but it could always be a possibility. Have you tried switching from global mode under network settings to CDMA/LTE? That solved all the network issues I used to have with my old Razr Max HD. Also, have you taken the OTA that was pushed yesterday? Some people were seeing an increase in signal strength.
As a matter of fact, I updated right after I posted that comment. I didn't even know there was a update till I was looking at Google now and saw there was a small update out. I havent had any issues with connection since the update. I'll post back here if I do come into problems. Thanks for the help though.
Any time buddy! I sincerely hope that solved the issue!
Well I was using navigation earlier today and for some reason, not only did I completely loose my 4G data but it said I lost GPS to. My maps app continued to run but it didn't look like I was moving on the screen, even though I was. Guess the glitched didnt get completely fixed.
It's almost like it does it just at night and when I'm using a lot of data over 4G.
