    So the gpsd wakelock that's been keeping my phone draining for months has disappeared. I rebooted my phone (which I've done before) and it has been gone for a week. Nothing else has changed. I'm very happy about this.

    Yes, you should be able to. Here's a thing I found (about three years old, but just to demonstrate the concept) about doing that. http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/running...id-on-windows/

    So I have an issue with my phone these days that if I lose signal, it just doesn't come back until I reboot the phone, in the meantime it drains my battery super fast.

    I have an idea that I should be updating my baseband and that I should do some extra backups, but this seems to be dangerous territory.

    Anyone have any advice?

    nothing to be done about it until my contract runs out - then i can move to vodacom.
    Ya but when you come into range of another tower, the phone should pick it up again and reconnect....

    This rebooting thing annoys the crap out of me though

    I have the same problem, cellc sim in my tablet and the data connection disappears frequently.

    Guess I'll just switch to the more expensive alternative for a guaranteed uptime.

    Decided to install android 5.1.1 lollipop on my dads galaxy SII I9100, used the cyanogenmod 12.1 rom, the phone is now operating faster than my mom's S4 and everything seems to work perfectly no issues, and thats not even the final stable build of the rom.

    its a shame android is so fragmented my mom's S4 has not even received the lollipop update yet and google has already announced and started rolling out android M beta's.

    I was able to update my S4 to 5.0.1 using I think the "official" russian version and Odin. Did this before handing it over to my gf, and had to unroot it hehe. It didn't even have any language issues or dodgy russian-labelled bloatware, quite happy.

    Now I has me a SOny Xperia z3 compact, and debating whether I should root it so soon... Also never rooted a Sony before, only samsungs.

    Just in case someone was looking into reverting back to the stock ROM here is a link i found, i've not tried it yet but the mixed reviews in the comments seems to be mostly positive.
