[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robot1000:
I'm getting mine replaced.

I've just tried out the Galaxy S2 side by side with my existing San francisco (ZTE Blade), outside in clear daylight and I'm getting approximately:

9.8 (feet) with the San Francisco (£80 phone)

40 (feet) with the Galaxy S2 (£400 phone)

What makes it worse is that the Galaxy S2 even has an additional satellite locked on :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaif:
i dont think you should get it replced just yet, a lot of people are reporting problems with accuracy...just wait it out till a fix comes along :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robot1000:
Do your saying it's a software glitch?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaif:
i would presume so, the fact that your getting gps lock and can see multiple sattellites means its working...my accuracy is never that great but works for navigation so its fine :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robot1000:
O2 are doing a clean swap on Friday, so I'll hold out till then.

I was also experiencing some issues with the compass, but when I tried just now it seems to be much more responsive then it was the other day

Hi all,

If i change my baseband through the flashtool, would it go back to the original baseband if i did a repair in seus or will it stay with the baseband i have flashed?

edit: Come on guys please reply. I need to know ASAP
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regencyhood:

yes you can go back to your original bb, via SEUS, basically SEUS flashes your phone to SE version of Android 2.1, it goes back to stock...

or just flash back to your previous bb using the flashtool:)

Thanks man, your the best. :D

i've hit the thanks button for you ;)
[HD7 General] ByakuyaEXT:
Hey Guys!

Im currently have the idea of buying a HTC HD7, than I thought if I should buy a branded O2 HD7 which is in Germany simlock free just internal O2 themes or a unbranded.

The positive aspect of the O2 Device is ofcourse the 16 GB Space, while the regular Version here just has 8 GB.

But is it then possible to flash new Roms with the O2 Device?
[HD7 General] sutt359:
You could get the o2 version with 16gb then debrand using a gold card.

Or

Change the memory card yourself to a 32gb on the unbranded one, there is a vid on how to do it without voiding your warranty ;)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] williamsean:
Hi,

Yesterday I removed the SD-Ext partition from my SD, I had the feeling this option costs more battery because much used apps where installed on my SD card, causing the phone to read from the SD, which costs more battery then from NAND. It turned out to be accurate, my battery drainage is improved.

But anyways, because I didn't have a mirco-sd to sd converter card I had to somehow delete the partition. If I removed the data through the settings > storage screen in android the sd-ext partition remained present.

Then I remembered that the MDJ CM7 v2.6 rom did remove all partitions when you remove all data from the sd-card though the settings > storage screen. So I installed the old MDJ rom and tried it. It worked, so I mounted the sd to my computer and copied my data back to the sd-card.

While copying, with the MDJ rom installed, I had to call a friend, so I did. But when I called the first thing I notest was a big improvement in soundquality/receiption.

Normally when I start calling I hear some kind noise though the voice of the person I'm calling, this noise is barely present and isn't in the way of the conversation, actually I didn't even notest it untill I heard the difference with the MDJ ROM. But after hearing this difference, I really want the sound quality of the MDJ rom. The rom I had installed before was the Hyperdroid GBX v12, which is much better then the MDJ ROM (preformance- and batterydrainage-wise).

Because I thought I found the best rom in the Hyperdroid GBX v12, I haven't tried any different roms for quite some time now. So I had to start trying different roms again to lock out the possibillity that this might be a problem with the Hyperdroid rom only.

So I also tried the Nexus HD2 rom and the Typhoon CM7 rom(my current rom). It turned out that these roms had the same problem with the receiption/soundquality as my previous Hyperdroid rom.

I have the feeling this issue is some kind of kernel issue as this is the same in all 3 tried roms, and different in the MDJ rom.

My setup was as following:

- Radio: 2.15.50.14

- Phone: European HD2 512 mb

- Provider: Vodafone Netherlands

I tested all roms from the same place (my workspot in the company I work at)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
Been in your position before, but my dilemma was with the music quality. Most of the roms I tried had this little pop in the background if music was turned up to full. Funnily enough the last rom I used before i switched to my current rom was also MDJ's 2.6. Music was loud but not the clearest, other roms though (especially miui roms) sounded terrible.

Then I tried the hyperdroid CM7 rom (i had used the gbx v12 before and liked it) and to my surprise, music quality that was as clean and loud as my good old WM 6.5 music player with audio boost :-)

I still hear noise in my phone calls though. Can't hear it in my day to day enviroment (mum, dad, fan on due to the heat playing games etc) but on the rear occasion that im in a quiet room you can definitely hear a shhh shhh shhh sound, pretty annoying
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] williamsean:
I've nostest this pop too, but I think it has something to do with charging your phone while listening to music.

But the soundquality difference while calling i'm talking about is more like the receiption is very bad/not constant, though I have full receiption(4 bars). Not so much a shhh-sound, I hear a cracking sound in the voice.

I tried to use RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed on my Sprint EVO 4G to rollback, but after reboot every thing stopped..:confused:

Note: Both screens are attached.

Urgent help please?
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Your phone is still s-off. You need to flash the unrevoked s-on tool first then run the ruu.
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:
Dear Rem3Dy

Thank you for reply, can you give me any tutorial link or guidance to to so? I meant "unrevoked s-on tool"?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:
is there any other hep please?

Let me explain in more detailed:

When power on (even after removing battery) I cannot log-in to HBoot through Volume Down+Power buttons.

Just a big HTC in a middle of black screen rounded in each corner an exclamation mark.

Then when plug my PC-USB and unplug below information showing up:

Thanks for any support or guidance
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
On the unrevoked site under the EVO guide they link you to the download. There are plenty of guides on this forum so I am not going to do the work for you. This is why you should do the research before attempting to brick your 500 dollar phone.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
If you can't get into the bootloader, you can't get into recovery which is where you need to flash the s-on tool. Try running the RUU in exe form from your computer. If it works, you will need to reflash recovery, flash the s-on tool, then run the RUU again.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Yeah now that I see the pics that doesn't look good.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Put these files in the root of your SD card.

Amon RA and S-on tool

When you get into Hboot it should find this PC36IMG.zip and ask to run it. Run it. This will install Amon RA recovery onto your phone.

Then turn the phone off and reboot holding vol-down and power. Select recovery.

In recovery select "flash zip from sd" then select unrevoked-forever-son.zip

At this point find someway to get Pc access to your sd card again. You can do this from Amon RA by selecting USB mount (i forget the exact wording, sorry).

Delete the PC36IMG.zip and put this one on there instead. Go back to Hboot and let the PC36IMG run.

You should now be running stock again. Unrooted.

This thread might be of some help as well.
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:
There is no recoginition

Sorry, it doesn't worked either.. it didn't recognize SD card to check for PC36IMG.zip.. just bypass it..
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:
Yep, I agree with you.. its the only thing that my phone is recognizing, but which version should i use?

I used

RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed with my Windows 7 Ultimate, but after 100% installation it shows Error 152.. trying to find out best version, but there are no much document about..

Any idea please?
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
That's the correct one. Just try running it again, and again, and again if you have to. If it still won't work, you can try another one, but try the newest one first. You can also try taking it to Sprint and just play dumb. They may replace it for you.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Also make sure you have the correct drivers. Install HTC Sync then uninstall it, then try again. After some research, it seems the screen you're seeing is from a bad RUU flash, so completing the RUU should solve your problems.
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:
This is really sad, nothing worked for me. All above suggestions have been tried but nothing working.

I am not sure is it MS Windows issue, if yes, is there any Linux or MAC tool to allow me log in to my ROM and reset or copy from original one?
[EVO 4G General] nyb3017:
You Sir are a great man!! Thank you
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:

Furthermore more than ten times HTC Sync driver removed and re-installed.. nothing working properly..

I'm just wondering best way to re partitioning original ROM?

thanks for any help
[EVO 4G General] Darkning:
Minor suggestion: try running the RUU as administrator by right clicking > Run As Addministrator.
[EVO 4G General] Legendary20:
Had the same problem. When you start to run the ruu are the ruu and your phone the same file. For example right before you start to run the ruu, what does that screen show
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Jab2k, you might have a bad copy of the ruu. It locks you in ruu mode like that when you have an incomplete flash but once you get a good one it will be back to normal.

If redownloading the 3.70 ruu doesnt fix it you will need to flash it manually using fastboot to see where it is going wrong
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:
Nothing just the black screen and HTC in the middle, please refer to my first thread attached photo's are available.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] jab2k:
I download it twice and I compared the checksums too:

SHA-1: f546b6fe4ffa276ff2adc167961c2f7a29654d16

Any flashing just let it to boot.. can you please advice for fastboot flashing? There should be a solution..

Thanks for any advice

Right before you flash the RUU. ^what do these 2 files say
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
If that one is still not flashing correctly try downloading the autoroot tools zip and the 3.70 pc36img from the link in my sig. Once you have both of those unzip the tools to your desktop and place the pc36img in the folder. You can then use the FlashZip script to flash it and see what kind of errors the phone is sending back.
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
Im going through the exact amended thing you are. Htc logo with the 4 triangles in the corners and can't boot into the bootloader....just goes to the htc logo. Have tried flashing everything known to man and nothing. Im about to give up and put it on craigslist as a brick!

[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
I just tried this method and it still doesn't work. It goes through the process and when it finishes my phone looks exactly like the OP first post with the pics...htc logo and like the second pic.

[EVO 4G General] SteveGrandRapids:
Out of curiosity . . being a newb to Evo (previous Moment owner and SDX Junkie) . . are the problems these guys are having "atypical" with flashing the Evo . . ??
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
I have never had a problem rooting or flashing an Evo or anything for that matter until now. Thats what got me so puzzled. Its like I have no hboot at all and nothing will restore it back...I have tried mutiple Ruu's and nothing.
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
This is what I get after I try one of many RUU's....
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
Im about to go insane!!!!!! This can't be that hard!
[EVO 4G General] Legendary20:
What Rom where you running before. Does your phone pop up when put in the computer
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
I think it was Sprint Lovers and yes the computer recognizes it but not as a disk drive.
[EVO 4G General] Legendary20:
Can you run unrevoked. Doubt it would worked but it doesn't look like a lot u can do

What do you think this was sent from
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
Unrevoked doesn't find the phone...says waiting for phone. The only thing that will attempt to do anything is RUU and I tried autoroot and it seems like its working but no dice. Is this because I have s-off maybe? But I have no way of getting it back on anyway....:(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basti107:
I had a SGS i9000 before. I flashed it serveral times with different OS an different programms and even bricked it one time.

I recovered it with my hommade JIG.

No matter what ROM/kernel i always had battery-drain in cell-standby-only without any apps installed/sync.

Now on my Nexus S i'm very satisfied with the standby-time (2.3.4 stock, locked, VDF i9023)

I'd like to root it and install CWM and maybe a custom kernel.

Now my question: Is anybody out there who had a good batterylife on his Nexus S before flashing and a bad after flashing?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
Consequences of flashing:

1 Getting addicted and flashing a new ROM every day

2 Visting XDA every minute of free time which leads too....

3 ... neglecting family and losing job

But in all seriousness my battery life has always been around 18 hours with mdoerate usage

[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
Hey,

I have just recently noticed a weird problem on my Arc..

When the battery goes below 20% it shuts down (similar to the way how it would shut down when the battery is out).

Then I need to connect the charger and switch it on, after which the battery will show at 1% and in 5 mins it will change to 21-22%...

so basically below 20% the phone thinks its actually ran out of battery even though it hasnt and hence shuts down..

any ideas about what could be causing this? is it a problem with my phone or the battery?

thanks
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
And how exactly do you clear battery stats ? dont you need to boot into recovery for that??
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
My battery has never gone under 20% :-/
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
ha ha...very useful!!!...but seriously!!! :mad:
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
My phone comes up saying 9% left and shuts down its stupid think in going to get rid off the phone too much happening with it at the minute and not happy
[Xperia Arc General] robiceli:
I had a similar problem with my arc after charging it for the first time (charged it till 100% with the phone turned on). Then, after I used the phone, when it reached 10%, it just shut down. Then I decided to charge it with the phone turned off and this really helped. After two full charging cycles, the battery is acting normal. Now my arc shuts down at 2% which I think is normal.
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
Clearing battery stats has worked so far...thanks a lot...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Hi everyone, quick word to all that these are working with the SGSII. No need to wait until Samsung release them in 1-2 months, and at 6x the price!

Clove Blog will have my video proof up in a couple of hours.

Only enough power to supply pendrives, but drives with their own power supplies, or drives connected to the phone via an externally powered HUB, will work.

Read speeds are fast enough to watch 1080p content.

Unfortunately USB keyboard/mouse, and two different USB gamepads were a fail.

If only I knew a place I could post this where there might be devs around who could read it and make USB gamepad support happen...

[Galaxy S II Accessories] AMstronG:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:

Do you have a link for that dell keyboard & mouse you used in the video?.. it looks great
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
The Dell Mouse is freely available, I got mine for a song on Ebay.

The keyboard is awesome, but sadly no longer made. Its a Dell-branded 'iGo Stowaway Ultraslim" keyboard, has a truly great hinge mechanism and folds down to next to nothing. You may be able to find it somewhere, but last time I checked I couldn't find any. There are lots of cheap HID profile BT keyboards out there, check my thread in the Galaxy S forums - lots of people confirmed various ones working.

Amazing! excellent video and info

it was nice to also demo the BT keyboard & mouse

would this work on a galaxy s 1? if anyone knows
[Galaxy S II Accessories] howdid:
or desire ;p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I don't think either the Desire or the Galaxy S will do USB OTG (although the Desire may have it baked into a custom ROM, because I know it was enabled in the Nexus 1 with a mod, I don't know enough about Desire custom ROMs to know).

The original Galaxy S does support bluetooth keyboard and mouse though (I have a demo of that in my youtube channel also).

Yes if you use a MHL to HDMI cable for viewing on your phone on your HD TV you have to use the power cable, which also charges the phone.

lol he said when using usb host

maybe if using a Y cable
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
No, it is not possible to use MHL and USB OTG together. They are mutually exclusive connections.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] legolee:
I have both the straight black OTG cable and right angled black OTG cable.

I found that the angled one is more convenient, especially if you need to hold the device while connecting the USB thumb drive.

I bought the angled from from here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...9972693&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT#ht_5041wt_905

By the way, it also works with the nook color with CM7 USB host support.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] legolee:
I have some thought about charging the phone and using the OTG Cable at the same time.

I think we need the kernel/ROM to support external vbus. This is what developer did on nook color so that we can charge and use OTG cable at the same time.
