[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henguist:
Yet another noob here requiring help. Hello to you all, hope someone can help.

Until yesterday my Desire was running an unmodified WWE 2.2 froyo rom. The phone wasn't rooted. (can't remember which version of the rom I had). This phone was brought from 02 (UK) and debranded by myself with the above rom installed.

I stupidly checked for OTA updates and one was found - if I remember correctly it was an update that came out in 2010 which caused people's WIFI not to work, switching the WIFI on the word ERROR would appear. Additionally I didn't have my GoldCard in at the time either.

Anyhow, i've been fiddling all night and have now ended up installing ClockworkMod (3.32 - downloaded from their website). I thought I could find a sense rom that would fix the WIFI problem, but now having read through pages of various forums all I want to do is get back to where I was yesterday. I'm not really interested in trying out various roms, all I want is to get back to a debranded sense 2.2 froyo with all features working i.e WIFI.

Apologies if this sounds kinda off, I really didn't think I'd be all day trying to sort this problem out. Perhaps if I'd decided to play around with bootloaders, roms etc. I'd be happy to experiment but not when I don't have the time especially with a little due any moment.

So I'd like to know what my options are now, I would appreciate you help.

Regards

Henguist

P.S Details of phone software:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
i haven't used a gold card for a long time so i'm not too sure if this actually works. someone correct me if im wrong, but i think you can put any .zip rom file into your goldcard and then just run clockwork recovery to update from .zip from sdcard and then it will simply install the rom. the only froyo wwe rom files i can find seem to be .exe files that are meant to be run while your phone is already booted into the OS.

if you do happen to find a .zip rom file you want just boot into clockwork recovery and then wipe /system to get rid of the rom you have installed and then install the .zip you want from sdcard. before doing so it's always best to make a backup in clockwork.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henguist:
Many thanks kokocabana for your reply! I have now returned back unmodified WWE 2.2 froyo rom, with help from this forum - many thanks.

Firstly I found this thread, followed the instructions there then downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed and installed.

Hope this helps somebody!

Once again thanks to xda forums :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shvyue:
It's NOT ARC's problem, it's google android system doesn't support the ADHOC mode.

But it's annoying that android still doesn't support AD-HOC network. So if you want to use the phone with another ADHOC wifi spot, eg, my mobile broadband contract with unlimited data, ARC cannot "SEE" the ADHOC network. Any ideas?

There is something done on the system/bin/wpa_supplicant but that wouldn't apply to 2.3 system.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] add2005:

As far as i know, you need a wifi dongle with Access point capabilities and then you should install connectify on your pc, that should let it function as a wifi router, if not the only other option is buying a wifi router, which is pretty cheap nowadays.

Anyone having hardtime setting up exchange activesync on A500? I can't seem to find an option to set it up.all it has is POP3 and IMAP
[Acer Iconia A500] id10terrordfw:
That is because it doesn't have it. Touchdown or K9 work. Touchdown for tablets is especially nice.
[Acer Iconia A500] vjb:
Is it possible to get the .apk from Xoom or ASUS transformer(not sure if exchange is available).

I want it bad as well both touchdown and K9 doesn't work for me but I could easily connect from my desire HD.
[Acer Iconia A500] id10terrordfw:
Actually now that we have root that may work. I will test it. I have zero fear of bricking anything as I have a hookup on getting it swapped if needed.
[Acer Iconia A500] thesilverhawk:
it is dumb that it doesnt. The honeycomb port for nook color had it. HTML email and all. Acer must have stripped it out or not included. Come to think of it I am going to see if I can find it in there! would swapping out the mail.apk work, my guess is not till we have a deoxed rom, correct....bummer
[Acer Iconia A500] id10terrordfw:
And working.

http://www.multiupload.com/S7BY5GA8S9

Download, extract, use root explorer to rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old, place in /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r, reboot, enjoy.

I would have made a flashable .zip, but we don't have cwm yet, lol.

[Acer Iconia A500] disruptorx:
Links doesn't work for some reason,will you be able to re-up it or mail me the file?
[Acer Iconia A500] id10terrordfw:
Hmm, link works for me. Tested on three devices. I can reupload, but it will be later.
[Acer Iconia A500] crajoh:
I must be missing a step. I have renamed the Email.apk and Email.odex in system/app to Email2.apk and Email2.odex.

Then copied the 2 extracted files to system/app .

But no go, I don't have an exchange option when setting up email accounts....

I've probably missed something that is totally obvious, maybe someone could point out to me what it is...

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] theheathen:
You probably forgot to set permissions.

This worked wonderfully, thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] crajoh:
I did set the permissions... so I don't know what I've done wrong.

Do you now have a setting when manually configuring an email account to setup as exchange, or should I be looking elsewhere for it?

Edit: got it sorted out, it wasn't enough to just rename the original files, I had to take them out of the system\app folder all together. Now it's working as it should. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] vjb:

Hey there,

Forgive me ahead of time, but long story short, used to have a Nexus One, switched to iOS, and now back to Nexus S, and have been hating it since. I must've ran into trouble somewhere while trying to root because now everytime I flash a rom, I get the 'installation aborted' message and my phone is stuck with 'no service'!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] larrytango:
i have been using various android roms from this forum, however for some reason i cant send a mms if my wifi is turned on (as if android just uses the active connection to send mms), is it possible to force the mms not to use the wifi and use the apn settings that work if wifi is turned off?

my network is O2 UK (on a side note does anyone know if wap.o2.co.uk and mobile.o2.co.uk are needed , wap.o2.co.uk is all i used for android but in winmo i use mobile.o2.co.uk for data and wap.o2.co.uk for mms) so any help would be great

(currently using and love BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER V8_Sense.s .. just wish i could keep wifi on and send mms)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Do your settings actually allow you to send an mms?

On mine if wifi is on and I send an mms,it shuts wifi, turns on data,sends mms then turns data off and switches wifi back on.

It cannot send an mms over wifi ,because settings in APN tell it to send it over data.

If you cannot send mms at all,have a play with these settings.(BACK UP YOUR CURRENT SETTINGS,SO THAT YOU CAN RESTORE THEM IF THESE DON"T WORK!!!)

Name 'O2 UK' (anything)

APN 'mobile.o2.co.uk'

Proxy 'not set'

Port 'not set'

Username 'O2Web'

Password 'password'

Server 'not set'

MMSC 'not set'

MMS Proxy 'not set'

MMS Port 'not set'

MMC '234'

MNC '10'

Authentication 'not set'

APN Type 'default,supl'

then, a second APN, to handle the mms

Name 'O2 mms postpay' (anything)

APN 'wap.o2.co.uk'

Proxy 'not set'

Port 'not set'

Username 'O2wap'

Password 'password'

Server 'not set'

MMSC 'http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002'

MMS Proxy '193.113.200.195'

MMS Port '8080'

MMC '234'

MNC '10'

Authentication 'not set'

APN Type 'mms'

Good luck

:)

ill try these settings now. the thing is i can send mms .. but only if wifi is off, i understand you cant send via wifi i just wish it to turn it off type thing (such as u say urs does) , ill try settings and reply back - thank you for your help

update: i tried the settings and its exactly the same (i can browse net and send mms is wifi is off , if wifi is on then mms just hangs - i need a way to auto switch off wifi when sending mms )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spalm:
Are you using an SD ROM or CLK? I ask because I had the same problems when I used SD builds.

What I learned, when I tried to solve this problem:

In the SD ROMs was a problem with using the standard android interface - RMNET. In the SD ROMs was used PPP, which is unstable and had a problem with simultaneous using wifi and gsm connection - like Your problem.

Because this problem I migrate to MAGLDR NAND ROM, which successfully uses RMNET (in the CLK NAND is the same problem - uses PPP). I use much WIFI and it is important for me to receive MMS simultaneously.

I know that working on the stabilization of the PPP - because it is faster, but I do not know if all problems were solved.

If you use SD ROM may be time to consider move to NAND - I never had this problem in MAGLDR NAND ROM

Sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnada:
There are two vids posted on Youtube showing GPS tests. Neither one shows what I consider good accuracy.

Here's the outside test. If you watch closely the accuracy fluctuates between 6 and 28 meters, and is pretty unstable.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SHJ6wFi7H8

6m is ok, though not great, but 28m is pretty bad. And the jumping around is disconcerting.

In this one it never gets below about 111ft, which is also quite bad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuCZ75r2GZY

It is performed inside, but I typically get under 30ft inside with my Galaxy S. I understand "inside" is variable depending on the type of structure, but he's getting a lock on at least 8 sats, 6 with SNR's in the 20's, so the accuracy should be decent.

I'm hoping in both cases the videos are just too short and they would settle down within a minute or so with good, stable accuracy, but this preliminary sample is not as good as I was hoping for.

Any comments from current S2 owners?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
Like you said, indoors is not the the best place to test.

Also the accuracy estimate is just that. It gives you possible error.

My Nexus S accuracy within 78 feet but its bang on with location in map ( hell it shows me even on the right side of the road. ).

The best way to test stationary GPS accuracy is to go to easy to recognize outdoor location and then try to get a lock.

Even with 30 meter accuracy in Google Map, usually GPS shows my exact position.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
Do a tracking while driving and see how accurate the navigation is .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimaru:
Haven't done a "proper" test yet but having used navigation a couple of times now I can say that it's far quicker and more reliable than my ancient SGS1. There was also an engadget article about GPS performance -

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dombledore:
http://domarmstrong.blogspot.com/2011/04/samsung-galaxy-s-2-gps.html

I did a quick test with MyTracks and it got it spot on. I was actually a little worried. I've not done a test with Google Nav / car mode yet but I'll pilfer a car over the next couple of days and post up the results!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
Yes, but this margin of error is a very imortant piece of data (for any kind of measurement, really), that's vitally important for the further processing of the location data. As long as the accuracy data is correct any algorithms can safely assume you really are inside a certain radius. If it isn't the location data is basically worthless. (The "but it's spot on anyway" argument only works if you already know exactly where you are, but then the GPS is sort of a moot point.)

Naturally it's better to err on the side of caution and assume slightly worse than calculated accuracy, but on the other hand a 20 m radius is pretty much worthless for a lot of applications.

That's exactly why proper tests should be done - before you test each phone vs a reference GPS and a few landmarks with known high precision coordinates you can't even tell if the accuracy reading the phone's GPS gives is accurate in itself. It's entirely possible that LG and HTC fudge their numbers just to look good, while Samsung is a bit over-cautious, but we don't know that and I like to know things.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnada:
We just don't have enough data yet to conclude Samsung has fixed the GPS problems.

The two videos I linked are not very impressive. And the Endgadget test is hard to judge. He says it's "pretty close" in locating him on the map, but we can't tell what that means, 20ft, 60ft? The track log posted by Dombledore is also hard to judge without knowing his actual track.

Part of the problem in testing this is even with my S sometimes it works great, and then the next time it's way off. Getting consistent quick locks, and high accuracy will tell the tale. For driving, geocaching and track logging this is a critical function. If the S2 isn't a major improvement over the S it will be a no-go for many.

Thanks in advance for any additional updates.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Before you complain about GPS accuracy. So yes, it sounds about right for 20m. It is definitely an improvement over the original 100m.

The accuracy increases if you turn on DATA with your 3G signal. It also improves the time used for initial gps lock.
