[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Have you tried other WiFi networks? Because the same error being reproduced across two different ROMs seems a little unlikely.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] supermooshman:
Well, the problem is that my wifi doesn't stay on long enough (just a couple of seconds) to scan/connect to any network.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
So it isn't a problem connecting to a network, it's a problem of the wifi not even being able to turn on?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] supermooshman:
Well "technically" it does turn on, but it switches off immediately
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Molsondrinkr:
wow, i just logged in to search for this issue myself. I have that same issue across multiple roms also. The one that did work was the Telus Lite Eclair. I liked that one, but of course I wanted to check out others. Each one was the same as you describe. Wifi scans, disconnects, scans, in a loop.

I have done searches on google for wifi disconnect loop android, and seen some stuff about kernals and stuff that is over my head at the moment. If some one has an idea on how to get it working that would be great.

I wipe before any install, I've went back to stock and it works, everytime I went to the Telus Lite one it also always worked. I dont know if theres a clue there or not?

Im on an Telus milestone in Canada, on Telus network if that makes a difference.

And since I think this is my first real post, Thanks for the work guys. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Not sure if this would work, but this is the first result that popped up: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/75782-wifi-disconnect-loop-cm6-final.html

EDIT: People are saying that Hidden SSIDs and MAC filtering can cause problems when trying to connect to the WiFi network. Try forgetting the network, making the network visible(protected if you wish) and reboot the phone and try again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] supermooshman:
ok, time for a stupid question...

where do I find suitable kernels?

I can't find anything about this (roms and kernel tweaking is a is pretty well documented though)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
As far as I know, you won't be able to change the kernel on the Milestone at all, due to the locked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Molsondrinkr:
a little update, I checked my settings on my router and there was nothing really out of place. For poops and giggles I installed Shawdowmod, and it works with out issue with my wifi. Go figure. Anyway, think im keeping it. :D

Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] supermooshman:
hmmm, good to hear you figured it out.

I just went back to stock and guess what? still nothing

maybe I'll try that rom and see
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Desarth:
So I was going to try the new Sense ROM for my I9000 and this is what happened:

I flashed the Speedmod kernel via ODIN, got into recovery - then flashed efs-backup.

After that I flashed the CM7 kernel via ODIN, did a system, cache and data format and installed the rom itself.

Now every time I turn on the phone, it gets into recovery... same happens if i press reboot system now in clockworkmod recovery

Is there still hope for me? All your help is appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
this has happened to me too.

what happens is when you format system you actually format the OS on the phone. meaning that the only thing installed on the phone is the kernel.

resulting in a loop of recovery mode.

flash the rom again through recovery and see where that takes you.

if problem still persists. start whole process again :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Desarth:
Yeah, but I did that before I flashed the ROM... Tried it again, still the same thing. (And I tried the whole thing from the beginning over and over again)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
have you flashed back to froyo with 3 files and pit ?

what rom was you on before this happened, as it could be down to gingerbread bootloaders
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Desarth:
I was on Froyo, Voodoo kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
well just try 1 last time, make sure the FW comes in all 3 files, use 512 pit and check repartition in odin.

then take the necessary steps to get back to the sense ROM
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
There has been a question posted on another forum (linked below) about an app existing to help with coordination disability. I think everyone should be able to enjoy our phones no matter what the case. Is there an app or setting in a file somewhere that can be adjusted to create a delay on the touch screen respone. I know its what we strive not to have lol. But this persons GF is suffering a disability and has trouble selecting features and apps on her Epic because she presses it too long. Now I've looked also and have not been able to find a solution, so I ask the mass of intelligent developers and all of you root explorers out there in the XDA universe if anyone can lend a hand and help with this predicament.

Here is the original post:

It's very clear what he is trying to accomplish and I say we should try to help to the best of our knowledge! Mine being very limited lol. But I know there are quite a few gurus out there that I'm sure have the knowledge and expertise to further along this development.

Please help and I thank you for any input and ideas.

Mods: If this should be in another section please by all means move it, but I feel this being developmental since searching has yeilded no results as of yet.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
I'm trying to use the music controls on the lockscreen, and sometimes I want to hear more than 3-5 seconds of a song before skipping to the next one. Problem is, in those 3-5 seconds the screen turns off again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkeena0305:
Why not use volume buttons to change songs? But there is an option in cyanogen settings/ lock screen/ delay and timeout.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnmitchell:
menu->Settings->CyanogenMod Settings ->Lockscreen ->Delay and Timeout
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
Because I'd like to change the volume with the volume keys.

Despite the name/descriptions of those settings that you are suggesting, neither of those two settings do what I'm asking.

Screen Timeout Delay - This only applies when the screen is both On AND already Unlocked.

Screen Turned Off Delay - This only applies after the screen has been turned off, whether manually or automatically. Then it starts to countdown, when the countdown reaches 0, the next time that you wake your phone, it will be locked.

See above, neither of those two settings do what I'm asking.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkeena0305:
You can still change the volume. To change the track you hold down. Its that simple
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
Thanks, did not know that. I guess I have no other choice than to go that route then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
You can use a custom timeout with "widget locker". Keep in mind, is a replacement for the lockscreen however.

I don't have music controls on mine, but it is handy to access emails or check sms with a single tap.

My lock screen resembles a home screen more than a lock screen. However, I find having quick access to the things i use most with the least amount of taps to be invaluable.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taoranga:
have you noticed the lag? it's absolutely impossible to play it with two players.

I've tested Air Hockey speed and Fun Hockey, both suffer from the same problem.

on HTC desire & samsung galaxy S.

I've tried Touch Hockey game on a friends IPhone and there is absolutely no lag!

any ideas why and how to fix it? is android flawed in that manner?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisible Elf:
What kind of lag? I can imagine air hockey does not work well on the HTC Desire because of the multi touch issue when crossing axes anyway.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taoranga:
this is interesting, I didn't know of that multi-touch issue on the desire, I'll investigate - thanks.

it happened on the Samsung galaxy S as well, when one player moves his circle the other can't so the game doesn't run smooth, try it yourself, it's very clear.
[XPERIA X10 General] AvishDx:
I booted into xRecovery and formated the SYSTEM & DATA partition and reboted the recovery. Now I'm not able to boot the phone please help.
[XPERIA X10 General] thunderpossuem:
Where do you get up to in the boot process?
[XPERIA X10 General] a1exander:
At this point you can propably not get into xrecovery! So i think you need to flash the stock generic rom with x10 flashtool. Had this problem before! :) when you've done that you can just flash and install xrecovery again, then if you had a xrecovery backup, its still there (if u haven't removed it from SD card), so you can juat restore that.

Remember when flashing stock "rom" you will propably get bb 54, so i recommend to flash bb 49, most roms work with that baseband.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unknowngod430:
ok so i haven't been on here in a while.. but i can't seem to find anything that works for the tilt 1

first off i just got a headphone adapter to use in my car.. and while my music is really loud on the tilt speakers i have to crank up the volume in my car to have it at a normal level.. i've tried dowloading the htc equalizer.. i install it but after that i can't find it .. and i can't find the DSP manager for the tilt.. maybe i'm just missing something.. currently my fire rom has the audio manager in it

my next issue is i take pictures.. the amount of pictures i can take count down but no matter how much i look i cant find where the picture are being saved to .. it says they're being saved to my memory card but idk where

also pictures i used to have disappeared.. however my calling pictures (which were included in those pictures) still work

any help would be very much so appreciated

[Optimus One, P500, V General] jmartinho:
So, I was at school and my phone was fine, it was in my pocket. During the day I take it off to check what time it was, and half the screen was black with two green lines on the right side (check pic). There was no collision while it was in my pocket, nor I let it fall so I don't understand what happened :\

It's still on warranty so I'm lucky I guess, but it still sucks.

Anyone has any idea of might have happened?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zPacKRat:
Certainly looks like the screen was stressed to me. I always keep my phone with the screen facing my leg with nothing else in my pocket.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
that looks bad. did you try pressing the screen a bit, not too firmly though. do you have a custom rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Grievous23:
Do you use tight jeans? that may explain the stress if you somehow "flexed" too much
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
it must be prob with the phone just get it replaced simple. did u overclock too high or using any custom rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jmartinho:
Nah, no tight jeans, and sure didn't flex.

Had Mik's CM7 6.2.

The overclock was high (806), but never had any FC or warnings, and I've had it like that for a month now, didn't have any overheat issues either. Problem is they probably won't replace it immediatly, they'll try to repair first, which means it'll take some time, so that's a bit lame but I'll just have to wait I guess.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/

damn you samsung.. i swore to never buy another one of your phones but with the impending GB and this phone dropping it looks like i will be *****ing about OS updates for the forseeable future

i'm thinking the epic may hold me over till the next Nexus... which i'm hoping will be based on the SGS2 unit and come out on sprint
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
Hmm, no dedicated camera button. I really like the camera button,
[Epic 4G General] murdermajig:
The only thing keeping me away from the SGS2 Sprint variant is the 3D screen in the EVO 3D. if samsung decides to make one with 3d I would get it like there is no tommorow.
[Epic 4G General] zetterwing:
The review forgets to mention the super high speed delivery of stable updates.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
I don't see how a 3D screen is even remotely useful, there aren't any 3rd party apps for it and it only works in the camera and video apps.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i like the idea of the button but i always find that when i use it i can't keep the camera steady.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
this whole 3d gimmick is really tiring. same deal with that echo phone... how long are developers really going to support one single unique phone?
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Same boat I'm in. I really like the fact that I can save real estate by not launching with an icon but when it comes to taking the actual picture, it's the screen button for me.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Same here. The dedicated camera button was something I wanted, but after using it I found I take better pictures using the touchscreen one as I ddon't shake the phone as much. Now it never gets used other than to start the camera up.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
So when the hell is this thing coming to sprint?
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Don't think this one is.... lol :p
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
Hmm, I've found the opposite. I hold the phone on the edges with my index finger & thumb of each hand, so my right index finger is right there where the button is. If I used the screen, I couldn't hold it steady with both hands.

[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I just use my thumb and middle finger of my right hand to hold that side, and use my index finger to hit the onscreen button. Just found for me anyway, the force I was using to push down the side button made me shift the phone more often than not.

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Getting root on a locked/signed bootloader is no challenge at all, EVERY HTC device since the G1 has had one, the thing to worry about is encrypted bootloaders and all signs point to the EVO 3D not having one.

Ya hopefully its an epic 2 with all the stats of the galaxy s 2 but with keyboard :)

or if there is something with better hardware when my contract is up in a year then ill get what ever comes out, im waiting for the next nexus 4g not the nexus s 4g but the following one that google might make.. so i can have updates all the time, the time that comes out i assume the bluetooth gamegripper will be out so i wont need a keyboard :)
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
you guys really like your keyboards :p

After the hero i thought i might like a keyboard but after the epic.....

ill most likely be going to the Evo seems like it'll be Alot better than the GII overall...
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Actually i only really use it for gaming like emulators and such and rub it in my friends other galaxy s variants, that i have stuff that they dont lol, im kinda a snob to some of my friends, only because they are more company and not my best friends.

And like i said, next nexus phone that comes out for sprint in the next year, i will get and if not then maybe ill get the nexus s 4g if they are still selling it in a year..
[Epic 4G General] s84471:
I agree. Besides, if it's anything like what I've heard the 3DS is like, it won't be very practical.

From what I've heard, you have to keep your head in a fixed spot for the 3D effect to work correctly.

I'd rather just have a 2D screen, especially since it probably means better battery life.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
o i understand bro i hope the next nexus is good also .... feels like this one got left behind quickly...

Hey anyone know if Bonsai 4.0.1 caused the bricks or was is 4.1?

Im pretty sure it was 4.1 but just checking again before i flash it..
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
3D or no 3D, it won't affect battery life. The EVO 3D uses a parallax barrier for it's 3D which is basically just an alternate layer between the screen and the glass.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
they made it for perverts who enjoy their 3d porn
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Way to ask a question off topic... :rolleyes::rolleyes: lol :D

And no i have had 4.0.1 on my device for a long time and never had any problems, i do miss the battery life i was getting on 4.1 tho :(:(
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I think that just the fact that we dont seem to be getting touchwiz 4.0 with our gingerbread update points to sprint getting a galaxy s II variant in the near future. So they could say that the epic is a good phone, but *this* has the newest stuff on it. Marketing.

[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
No indication from the review about the performance of the GPS. Samsung's inability to get the GPS firmware right has been a major flaw in the various Galaxy S models so far. And Engadget never learned how to test a GPS anyway.

Having been bitten by GPS bugs on the Vibrant and the Epic (with even new bugs in EC05), I will wait to see some real-world field reviews.
[Epic 4G General] dtugg:
I've read about this but I have never experienced a bug. I am always able to get an accurate lock.

To the point of the thread, OMG. I almost jizzed in my pants. I will almost certainly get this phone if I can afford it. I don't care that I will have to pay full price (if I get the Sprint version) or if I have to pay Sprint an early termination fee (if I decide that is the cheaper option or if it isn't available on Sprint).
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
When Anandtech reviews this phone, all of the technical questions will be answered. Also, screw the Sprint version having a keyboard. I want this thin sexy device on Sprint with as few modifications as possible from the international version. The ONLY thing I would like to see is a dedicated camera button added, but that wouldn't be a deal killer for me.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Htc incredible s does not have full root/recovery that I know of yet. Someone chime in if they figured it out yet but the last time I checked they didnt. The thunderbolt was lucky cause they had a old ruu to flash that they rooted. So unlocking it isn't that easy.

[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Well, there is the annoying detail about needing a CDMA radio instead of a GSM radio, which in the Galaxy S brand meant a different multifunction chipset (Qualcomm vs. Broadcom). I also would favor no junk invented by carriers, but I doubt that the marketing bozos can restrain themselves.

p.s. The Sprint version will also need a Wimax 4G radio.

[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
It takes much more than a simple drive-by session playing with the GPS to test it. The pattern(s) of GPS errors that plagued different Galaxy S models have been complex, requiring rigorous testing over time. Engadget never did understand that before, and they don't understand it now.

So given Samsung's poor record with GPS firmware, and Engadget's poor record declaring that "the GPS works" when it actually didn't in all circumstances, I will await more thorough testing. And that testing will have to occur on each variant of the Galaxy S II that ends up being built for different carrier brands, because the history of GPS problems on the different models showed that the error symptoms were different on different carrier's variants (which actually used two different GPS chips). The only commonality was Samsung, which screwed them all up in different ways.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
well that all may be true but until the froyo update i wasn't able to get a lock on my epic for 10 minutes so their "test" is a good sign to me
[Epic 4G General] Blad3:
You kidding me? The keyboard was one of the ONLY reasons to get this phone. I actually like having keys to type with. Especially if i'm driving, cant do that with your virtual keyboard without looking down. Good god please slap my keyboard on it. It may not have been the best, but it is a selling point for me.
[Epic 4G General] sheltem:
The original Galaxy S did not have a dedicated camera button either. The camera button on the Epic was a request by Sprint.
