Because some of us do not root our phones and so have to wait for the carrier to send the update.   Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2

If history is any indication, at LEAST 4 months. And no one here knows. Here is a basic way to estimate. When it rolls out to the international version of the phone, add at least 2 months.

Guys just go on xda-developers website, why do you wait for the carrier to update the os?

Because, for example, the CM RILs for the Note II have been unable to properly authenticate with 4G LTE for some time.

 

Not only that, you lose access to the phone's engineering screens, as well as things like (on the Note II) the ability to write any PRL you want.

 

Custom roms are fun, but there are tradeoffs.

those are only issues if you go the aosp based rom route. There are plenty of other tw based roms that do not restrict those things. Plus CM will fix lte, it's only a matter of time. You can also have a backup of stock tw, flash it, flash your desired prl, then reflash aosp and you are good to go as far as prls go.

Once upon a time Google made updates worth worrying about upgrading to. That was before android 4.0.

This. When my Nexus 4 finally got the OTA two days ago, I was so excited (if I wasn't busy I would have installed it manually sooner)... But once it was installed I quickly realized nothing had really changed.....

Right, sure, I know all that... and how do you propose I "get Android 4.3" by "going to XDA developers" (you know, what the post I was replying to said) by sticking with TouchWiz? :P

 

Keeping a backup of stock isn't really an option, as it's a 5+ minute turnaround to switch roms and keep your data - not to mention you're still losing 4G. Being fixed "eventually" doesn't really make me want to use the rom "today", you know what I mean? And there's still no good replacement for engineering screens. SignalCheck Pro is getting close...

This is actually do to Samsung RIL blobs they are using.  The older RIL blobs are available at xda and fix the issue (from a clean flash).  I just toss them into an CM zip i flash before I flash it.

Link plz. I might try it out later. I will admit, I'm enjoying having engineering screens again.

 

I'm thinking of trying to restore "HiddenMenu.apk" to a CM-based ROM, and then using SignalCheck Pro to launch it, and see if it works. If so, engineering screens on AOSP!

I've been working with the maintainer on the HiddenMenu.apk for all kinds of stuff including the PRL updates, but no luck yet.

 

The RIL blobs are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43625452&postcount=1239, if you have working LTE on AOSP, then replace these in the system\lib and fix the permissions, after a reboot you should keep LTE.  If you are on Stock, download a nightly, then edit the zip and put these in the build in system/lib.  I also toss the VVM.apk into system/app.  Then flash along with the gapps.

 

You should be golden :)

 

Scott has a pull request in to revert to these older blobs in the nightlies, but that is tied to a request for a new device and both will get processed together.

This is a great reason to upgrade to 4.3.

I leave the gps enabled globally.

I disabled the location access individually in many news app, makes it quicker to start the app and doesn't use the battery as much.

After being plugged in over night, this morning I have seen a dramatic increase in speed for the Nexus7-2012.

Nice, hopefully another few nights, it will be fully useable again. The article mentions that it runs the trim once every 24 hours.

What's wrong with the LTE on Cm?

On cm10.1, it has some type of issue that results in approx 60% of actual LTE output. What o mean is you'll get roughly 60% of the performance on LTE using cyanogen mod than you will on Touch wiz. I think it's related to the drivers that cm team patched for 4.2.2.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
