Anyone else notice that at random times, the 3G icon arrows will not work, but data continues? It's the only thing that really annoys me about the Photon Q.

 

I haven't had this bug manifest itself to me, yet. However, I am only on Day Four. ;)

I haven't really noticed this either, but then I don't really pay much attention to the arrows unless the data *isn't* moving.

 

I also hope someone comes up with a 1x indicator mod for the phone....I had this for ages on my Epic and its frustrating going back to always seeing 3G showing regardless of whether its legit or not.

I had that problem with my EVO Shift and when I rooted and put a custom ROM, I was so happy. Now with the Viper, I've been stuck with the 3G icon all the time :( , so I feel your pain. At least the Photon Q will have custom ROMs before the Viper it seems.

I miss having 1X indicated, but I do know I sometimes am using 1X 'cause neither WiFi nor 3G is shown, but I'm still moving data... ;)

There are no custom ROMs for the Viper? Maybe I do need to pick one up...

Strangely enough, the guys over at Android Central have found that LG is releasing source code for ICS on the Viper. Sounds like most of them are having a hard time building from source.

 

WAIT!

 

http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp Type in LGLS840 in the model name and select Mobile Phone in the category, and there are 3 ICS source code files!

Strange that they have 3 different ICS kernels available to build, but haven't released anything.

Rumors on the LG Viper Android Central forums stated possible problems with Sprint bloatware. I can believe it if it's true.

Why are there LG Viper ICS comments in a Photon Q LTE thread? Can these get moved please?

 

It started as a comment about the lack of 1x distinguishing on the Viper like the Photon Q, and how the Photon Q at least has more support for custom ROMs. From there, it kinda just continued on.

 

Blame the Apple guy! :lol: (Sorry Josh, couldn't resist B) )

Was going to post about this but found this thread -- I specifically noticed this on my Q after we got EHRPD.

 

Occasionally it just drops data indication and the bars go grey, although data appears to be flowing. Other times there will be no data... It seems to happen around cell handoffs. I've also noticed that it occasionally will go from blue to grey (loss of Google sync?), even though the 3G icon stays in place.

 

Could it possibly be trying to hit LTE in certain areas that is there but not publically available? I noticed it did this a number of times in Boston when I went there before we got the EHRPD in Washington, but didn't think anything of it since I figured I was just handoff weirdness with only 10 pct of the sites done there... But about 2 weeks after I got home, the EHRPD showed up, and this happens at least a few times a day...

      Okay.  I just pulled the Location permission with the app running, and I think it may have closed and immediately reopened.  But I got a notification telling me that "Permission required" while the app itself just said "Waiting for update.." with a spinning circle.  Once I tapped on the "Permission required" notification, it popped up asking for location permission which I then granted. - Trip

      Thanks! There have been some recent changes to Android permissions requirements that were not documented very well and caused a tremendous amount of problems, especially for users who recently updated to Android 14. Thankfully I have some decent monitoring and diagnostics in place so I was eventually able to figure out what was going on. I'm basically looking for testers to mess around with revoking/denying/granting permissions to make sure the app doesn't crash and the workflow/warnings are reasonably clear. I do know that if you revoke/grant permissions while the app is in use, the app sometimes requires a restart (or at least as swipe out and back in) to get the proper prompting, but it's difficult to control 100% of the scenarios with the amount of background work SCP does with methods that require special permission.

      So I revoked the permissions before doing the update on my S21FE (Android 12) and when I reopened, it asked me for the permissions, which I granted.  No crashes, all went smoothly.  Is that what you wanted?  If so, I can repeat on a few of my other post-10 devices.  If not, let me know what to do differently. - Trip

      A new SignalCheck beta release is rolling out now.. this includes several bugfixes, notably issues on Android 10+ devices when Location permission was not granted, and on Android 14 devices when "Allow all the time" Location permission was not granted but the app was configured to launch at device boot. Please test this version by temporarily revoking permissions for SCP and ensure the app does not crash -- it will not work very well due to Android security requirements, but that's the point..
