[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
In my home I get very weak signals with any phone, whether its GSM or CDMA but when I tried the G2x it continuesly disconnected and lost signal. This happened more on the G2x then any of my previus 5 phones. I was forced to return it. I would have kept it but this was a big problem. I believe that this phone does definetly have reception problems plus it loses the signal just holding the phone from the bottom with my palm to the back, basically just holding it normally. If I raised my hand to the top it got better.... I really liked it. I'm back with my old LG envy2 and it never loses signal any where in my home. I may just try the Sensation when it comes out and pass on the G2x getting fixed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] willem s:
big issue.... :mad:

bootmenu needed to restore the phone, but when hitting the on-of and volume-up buttons and resets the bootmenu is shown, but if I let go the volume-up button it starts loading android (untill the HTC screen, then it hangs:confused:).

How can I enter the menu by trick?

thanks,

Willem

[Xperia Arc General] geejeetje:
I've looked in the other threads but I couldn't find an answer.

My phone is currently rebooting for almost 3-5 times a day. Especially when an application that took a lot of memory was used. When closing this app, like the photo-gallery, the phone reboots. But most of the time the phone ad random reboots even when it's just in stand-by.

All suspicious apps that could cause the reboots are deleted. I've also been running several memory cleaners and monitors but also without any result.

Running down the SEUS or repair option didn't work either. And switching back the phone to the factory defaults hadn't also had any effect.

So my question is; what would be better, bringing back the phone to the store?

Is this a problem covered by warranty? Because it's not possible to lay the finger on the problem; he won't do it all the time, but too often to ignore it.

Or should I try to root my phone? And will rooting a phone also mean that the reboots of the system are over?

It's a phone from T-mobile Netherlands.

I thank you for your thoughts!
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
If youve factory reset your phone and it's still doing it, then i doubt rooting would help - i.e it's not a software problem as there are lots of people who dont have this issue.

This really sounds like a hardware problem to me. I would suggest getting a replacement.
[Xperia Arc General] geejeetje:
The story continues...

I've contacted the customer support and the phone will be picked up and switched for another phone.

Thnx for the support!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnywong22:
Hi all, I have noticed an odd issue on my G2x that is not a huge problem but I wanted to see if any one had any thoughts on this.

First, I have a very old sim card, it actually has the VoiceStream logo on it. And the lock screen actually lists Vstream sometimes, and sometimes it has T-Mobile/VStream.

I've noticed that I get either 4G or 2G, but never 3G. It's even shown G before. I usually get 4G in my 14th floor office in downtown Chicago outside and some parts of my house, 2G in other places. I've tried speed tests downtown, and I got as high as 12mbps, but usually 5-7mbps. I'm just wondering if there is anything that can be done so I get 3G instead of 2G in certain areas.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
the phone will never show a 3g logo. It will only show 4g and 2g. And for that mattery t-mobiles "4g" is actually HSPA+ which is the upgraded version of HSPA. they are both 3g technology.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveishere911:
Hey everyone. This is only my second post here (I usually use google to solve all of my problems) but I can't figure this out for the life of me. I rooted my phone a couple months back, and flashed Cyanogenmod 6. All was well, except I noticed the camcorder's quality went from OK to dreadful. I figured "okay, maybe it's the ROM. I'll flash AOSP 0.9.9.2."..... no luck, same problem. And in AOSP, the camera app also crashes sometimes. Does anyone have an idea of what could be going wrong? Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
This is because the working camera driver for custom builds is a hack at best. Until one of the later patches, it would cause the camera force-close on double-tap zoom. It's mostly stable on the camera side now (although picture quality still doesn't match the stock firmware), but the camcorder size has a lot of room for improvement.

Hopefully one day someone will step up and finish the job (or one day I'll stop being lazy and do it).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveishere911:
thanks for the response. another question, if you feel like helping haha. What would you say is the fastest, most stable rom for the CDMA hero as of now?

i'm willing to sacrifice some stability for a major increase in performance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
did u ever do the software update because it fixed that
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
The latest OTA updates brought bugfixes and improvements in speed. I would highly recommend revisiting the stock firmware if you haven't used the latest updates.

If you're looking to make it snappier, I would suggest the ZenKernel or even the DecaFuct kernel if you don't mind it breaking your trackball backlight.

I was serious about the stock firmware being the most stable. I'm running it myself (albeit with an overclocked kernel), and the only issue I've found with it so far is that Facebook for HTC Sense is no longer able to sync contact photos (probably due to a Facebook API change). CM7 on the Hero still has many issues to be fixed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechAniX.one:
Is there anything new going on in the development side? I havent seen much in the Dev section. Does anyone want to share what new projects they are working on?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
most evs have developed what they can from what's available. Until Viewsonic, Nvidea, USMerchants, Google, or any other entity release something that can drastically change the way we Gtab, then there won't be anything else to develop. They may tweak a few things here and there, fix bugs, etc. etc. but as far as something "new" it will have to depend on VS et al.

When VS released their 1.2 bootloader, as it's become known, Roebeet made some new(er) romss based on previous builds (TNT Lite, Vegan-Tab, CM7). They aren't really "new" just updated versions of existing roms, to accomodate the new bootloader. (they are posted at another forum site)

There have been a few Kernel updates as well, but none based on the 1.2 bootloader (that I know of)

So, basically, the development section will be a bit on the quiet side until the developers are given something substantial to work with. All the roms we are using are based on something that was provided by VS et al., so until they release something, then there will be nothing to work with, besides what already exists (ie, tweaks bug fixes, etc)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Slower changes is fine with me. For once, I'd like to use my gtab for more than a couple weeks without flashing a new rom or kernel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgevision:
I've been turning to the CM7 for dev, as there is a lot of work going on for the Gtab there. It's officially supported, runs pershoot's kernel, and gets regular updates.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
WOW!!!!! Where is the press release? I can't believe Viewsonic is supporting cyanogenmod. This could mean Honeycomb is in the near future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(yes, sarcasm intended)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechAniX.one:
Well that sucks. I thought someone would want to make a nicely themed ROM or continue to integrate new features into their ROMs. Vanilla ROMs are cool but sometimes its nice to see a pimped out ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechAniX.one:
Oh ya, I dont think Viewsonic wants to support anything officially. Not even their own software let alone someone elses.
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
Hello,

The Wifi seems to be freezing/stuck on first use. This is strange for me :confused:

When I set the WiFi ON, it list the available networks very quickly and when I select the network and click on Connect and provide pass it try to connect and freeze. If I hit back button it stuck. If I hit advance It open the screen.

Sometime I need to restart the device. And after restart I see the WiFi switch is ON mode and I have make that OFF and ON again and all works fine.

I use 29017 SYS for my Topaz/Diamond2 device and below WiFi related packages:

CM Wifi Advanced v1.0.7.0

CM Wifi Enroll

CM Wifi Information

CM Wifi IP v1.0.4.1

Comm Manager v2.10.9.0

WAG Settings v1.0.1.1

Wi Fi Settings v1.2.5.4

Wi-Fi Wizard v1.47.5.0

WLAN Settings v2.7.10.1

Can you please advice what could be the issue?

Additional Note: The WiFi router in my room is WiFi N Router running in dual mode and has support to B and G too.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
Another thing I have observed is:

If I directly go to Advanced - WiFi Wizard and connect it works fine without any delay :).

But wondering why the delay/lagging when using normal screen of the Communication Manager?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
You might want to swap different CM-Packages. Not all of them work on every device. After I found one for myself (SE Xperia X1) I never updated it :D
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
May be I will try swapping the packages...

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
I would suggest try TP2 or Leo wifi pkgs...yes not all wifi works on all devices...
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
I dont see any issue with the packages here, as when I connect using Advanced mode which work perfect without any issue and is very quick.

The basic / default mode (when done directly from Settings - Wireless connection screen) causes delay and some time restart. But after restart it does work. This is only to WiFi N routers. Also I know TD2 does not have N standard, but the WiFi N Router has B and G enabled.

In Advanced mode I use below settings:

Authentication: WPA2-PSK

Data Encryption: AES

So I think may be the default mode trying to use some other settings to establish the connection :confused:

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isitafox:
After much messing about and almost bricking my phone I've finally got it on a version of 2.2 which will run the standard upgrade but I have a problem. This version (compared to the older official UK o2 I had) has copilot pre installed on it which when I checked the permissions is down for full access to making calls, texts, viewing contacts, etc.. Basically all the stuff you wouldn't allow an app to do normally and as I have no need for it I went to the apps on settings to delete it but when I select it the option to uninstall isn't highlighted, does anyone know how to get rid of this??
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antnee:
you need to use root manager or system manager delete the apk from system/app

hope that helps.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isitafox:
Cheers, gonna try and get it rooted then. Already tried z4root but it didn't work so having a go with superoneclick!

Also do you know of a way to stop the update available message coming on??
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antnee:
root with superuser via streakmod or clockworkmod....not sure about the update message. I am on 351.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isitafox:
Done, was a bit unsure bout if I was doing it all right but it's all looking good so far thanks!!

Will look into the update to 2.2.2 and see what can be done with that once I've had a play with the root!!
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
I am a bit concerned about the battery life of the upcoming htc. The first reviews I have read about it on german blogs speak from 12 to 15 hours battery life under medium to heavy usage. Even though, one needs to remain cautious with these numbers as the software is not finalized, I wouldn't expect these to double when final.

The Incredible S has a quite satisfying battery life according to users experience. But the Sensation has a bigger screen, higher resolution, a full load of 3D effects and almost the same battery. I fear the battery life will be insufficient in that case, even though dual core is supposed to consume a little less.

Samsung has built a slightly bigger battery on his GSII and people seem to experience a very good battery life. But Amoled doesn't drain the battery when black is displayed and the whole UI has been designed in black for this purpose. So the Sensation will probably not be able to achieve such an autonomy.

Hopefully it will still go through the day under heavy usage. Otherwise I might gonna settle for incredible s instead.

Has anyone read other numbers somewhere?
[HTC Sensation] Razius:
This is how I see it. Multi-core cpu's theoretically are more power efficient. You spread work over both cores, if software is optimized, to allow for less "strain" on the cpu. From what I can tell they are "optimizing" their Sense UI to run on both cores which efficiently manages the amount of power is being used. This now gives you less power draw hence power is saved. The battery isn't as big as some devices, but in my honest opinion I believe you will get a little more than 12-15 but probably won't get up to double that. This is all based off of my own conclusions after reading several articles. I may be wrong and if you need to correct me feel free. =) All I will say is you probably won't have to worry about battery issues.

Hi everybody!

Has anybody had success 'rooting' after the ota to 2.36?

My DHD was 1.72 before, and didn't root it then, and now, gingerbreak says something is wrong, reboot manually and check..... and when I check... no luck, no root.

USB debugging is on, SD card is in, etc.....

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nednapalm:
Hi,

Have a look at the downgrade thread, when I did it - ran gingerbreak to get temp root, then followed the steps to downgrade from there, then flash a custom rom with permanent root.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goran60:
certainly going to lose because you are ROOT with OTA install the official version. how do you follow a man in front said to downgrade and install custom ROM and IMT will then root and gingerbread phone
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakterio:
Thanks for the info, nednapalm. I had already seen the thread, but.... it looks to me like it's strange to have to go back to 1.3x before installing something, when (if I understand it right) some people have made a 'direct' root with their 'ruu-ed' DHDs (i've seen no report of OTA success, so that's why I ask).

And, in any case, with the method you mention, could ANY PD98IMG.zip be used? (p.e. seraphic has posted seraphic_gb_rooted_0-1.zip which is basically the RUU rooted).

[General Questions and Answers] rkrishnan2012:
Hey guys,

I just got an idea for an app and I would like to know whether you would want to download it/use it if I made it...

The idea is that when you step into your house, the gps finds that you are in and it automatically starts to turn on specific profiles for your house (such as dimming the backlight and turning on the wifi/bluetooth). This is useful also bacause when you step into your house, it can also trigger another part of the app which allows you to sync up folders/music with your computer if it is on and wirelessly sync up all that you just did in work (such as meeting new contacts). Also, the same applies for at work. You can simply step into your office and it will magically go into performance mode or whatnot and it will start syncing your business part of your phone (special folders).

So...if you would want to use this app, please use the poll above and vote whether you would not use it, or use it free, or even be willing to pay for it.

Thanks for your time....:)
[General Questions and Answers] rkrishnan2012:
so im assuming that its a no?
[General Questions and Answers] drybones41:
Well it wouldn't be impossible, it would be pretty hard.

The auto sync files when you step into your office seems hard because an office will be pretty much different for everyone so the app somehow needs to collect data on the office, such as size and shapes of the room.
[General Questions and Answers] rkrishnan2012:
well, I was thinking that you would calibrate it for the location of the office/home.

hi

so my phone was doing very good on android , magldr worked fine, no GO GO GO error but when i replaced my hd2's LCD magldr stucked on go go go on it's way to boot android from nand.i thought "ey, no big deal maybe it's the lcd's driver"! but i didi every thing to boot my phone on android again and still no chance heres waht i did:

1:task29->SPL 2.08.0000->SPL 2.08.HSPL->magldr

and it stucked on GO GO GO on tetris.so obviously there was no chance to pass the problem when i installed recovery and tryed to load it.

2:task29->SPL 2.08.0000->SPL 2.08.HSPL->cLK

And this one stucked on "no_console_suspend=1" or something.

i'm so hopeless guys.could someone please help me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tazphoenix:
any one?:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atsavlis:
Firstly, why did you have to get your lcd changed??? I recently changed my lcd and digitizer because I had the common screen freeze. The change to my screen did not affect my magldr.

What radio are you running?? I had similar problems abd it ended up being wrong radio, but this was also before I got my lcd changed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Flash the stock Windows Mobile ROM for your HD2. If it sticks on boot up you have a hardware issue (bad or corrupt NAND), if it boots up you just don't have something right about the software.

Last thing are you sure you downloaded and flashed the MAGLDR version of the ROM you want to use, unless the ROM will work with MAGLDR and cLK, it is aq couple of ROMs that will work with both.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tazphoenix:
I had my LCD changed because couple of weeks age i was on beach and dropped the phone on wet sand and went for swimming.so it was there for like 2 hours and when i got back and checked it it was a some kind of stain on it the it bothered me.

the radio is: 2.15.50.14

thanx for reply.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tazphoenix:
i have magldr 1.13 flashed on my hd2 and it even stuckes when i want to load tetris or when i want to load ad recovery.it's not the rom problem.

and sure i'll flash the stock room as soon as posible and let you know the results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
hmmm... it seems to me that your LCD screens wasn't attached properly but maybe I am wrong.

The best way as T-Macgnolia said is to flash original WinMo to first check if everything is working fine.

After that if everything is working fine:

1) make sure you have proper radio installed (2.15...)

2) Do Task 29 (no need to reflash HSPL and Radio)

3) Flash MAGLDR or cLK

4) Flash CWM

5) Make sure the ROM you are using is for either MAGLDR or cLK.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tazphoenix:
Well after installing stock rom it turned out it was digitizer.like og92 said.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] og92:
yea i still havent received my phone yet. but this is the second time the digitizer went out on me. the first time i could at least boot to android. but now it wont let me boot into anything (other than touchless winmo). my bet is that there is a conflict with the digitizer driver and nand as stated in op. unfortunately since i dont have my phone, i have no means of troubleshooting. i hope to report back with update soon

p.s.: why has this thread been marked as solved when it is not?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] og92:
turns out it wasn't the digitizer (at least not in my case). Instead it was the flex cable (which incorporates the following components: the antenna connector, the front speaker holder, the vibe motor holder, the camera holder, the volume button flex cable ribbon and some other IC components.). I think that it sucks that now i have to pay another 100+ because only the lcd/digitizer was warranted even though you must tamper with the flex cable ribbion in order to replace practically anything within the phone... but its their word against mine (as well as no written contract). Anyway it does make sense that this component is failing (otherwise android would boot) so i think it would be safe to categorize this one as a hardware issue!
