I am on orange and got the same force close. I switched over to orange-tmobile as the signal is better. Rebooting with this on seemed to fix the error but it did start up back on orange again. Any way to force it to stick on orange-tmobile?
[Galaxy S II General] Adails:
At least now we know it can/will be fixed with a future update, otherwise Samsung/Orange are gonna be knee deep in... calls from irrate Orange SGS2 owners.lol
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
good work adails mate, roll on KE3, lol
[Galaxy S II General] DVC1985:
I have a sim-free UK SGS2 and am using an Orange contract sim in it. I had multiple DLL errors when first trying to upgrade through Kies(ugh, I'm never using that program again) but got it done in the end. I am also now experiencing the force close on every single boot, yet the phone works perfectly fine once I press OK and Android restarts the process(no data in cache).

This is the first upgrade the phone has had, too. I didn't even know about KE1 until I heard about KE2.

My phone is almost never off though, so unless this error starts effecting the phone in other ways I can live with it for now. I hope it is just a glitch on Samsung's/Orange's side of things and that a near-future firmware upgrade can clean it up a little.

EDIT: Just gonna go to KE1 using Odin to save any future hassle.

The usual solution on SGS 1 was to factory reset or reflash firmware .

On SGS 2 today getting the same error i reflashed firmware = no error .

[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
JJ, just to be clear are you saying your on Orange and had this problem, flashed the same firmware again (WKE2), and now you dont have the problem anymore?

If so, I'll do the same.
[Galaxy S II General] bobbysixkiller:
i have low signal in my house since flash, 1 or no bars, had full yesterday, hope its non related
[Galaxy S II General] Shocky2:
No force close for me.
[Galaxy S II General] croftyboy8:
Id just like to add my experience with KE2 today (KE1 downloaded fine yesterday)

I have a P4U unbranded Orange.

Tried to update with KIES and part way through the download i was greeted with a "device has timed out" error.

Seems im lucky that i couldnt download the update however now KIES wont recognise my phone saying it was disconnected a split second after fist connecting.

.. here was me hoping me KIES troubles were over!
[Galaxy S II General] WillClark11:
So ur on orange wha one did u flash bk on it?
[Galaxy S II General] Adails:
Ok I just put my O2 sim in the phone and did the upgrade and have not had any FC's. Going to switch sims now to see what happens. Fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
Wow thanks for the warning- i'll stay on KE1.

While I have a lot of Orange UK users in one thread - I'm a new customer, just moved from O2. Ported my number so its too late to change my mind now.

But Really, noticed Orange 3g is a total joke compared to o2, and I've realized now i made a mistake. Anyone else see this? I often get GPRS only (not even edge), and when its on 3g, its super slow. Did speed tests and the best results i got were about 1500 down and 380 up. But most of the time I see 600 down 380 up. I used to get 2500 down and 1800 up with o2!!! wtf.

Anyway sorry if I'm derailing but the concentration of orange customers in this thread is an opportunity for me and I wanted to see if anyone else gets terrible 3g speeds in london with orange.
[Galaxy S II General] Adails:
Switched the sim to Orange and it booted straight to the com.android.phone error. Rebooted several times with the O2 sim in and all was well.

Back to KE1 I go, again. :)
[Galaxy S II General] WillClark11:
Not only london mate same up in lpool
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
bummer. I messed up by moving to Orange. Now it's too late - and bonusly we get bugs with firmwares LOL.

Dang!
[Galaxy S II General] stolly:
I agree with you. I've moved from 3 to orange and regret it totally. 3G is pants and calls drop like flies. Dont get me wrong, 3 was not without fault, but 9 times out of 10 got an HSDPA connection which was around 3 - 4meg down. Orange is very very poor.
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
now that we've reconfirmed orange UK sucks, is there any hope for this update for our phones? whats the changelog for this update anyway it can't be far off from the one released a few days ago..
[Galaxy S II General] Tone-Fu:
Same problems as yous. I'm on Orange UK, updated via the latest KIES from Win7x86 and the com.android.phone error is popping up all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
me too. I got an unlocked SGS2 from Carphonewarehouse.

Been using my orange sim card with this phone but after updateing from KE1 to KE2 I got the message. However everything is fine.
[Galaxy S II General] mxn-:
same... on orange
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY.

Right now even when I should be on full bars at home and in Holborn (Central London) I'm only getting 1/4 signal bar and 3G symbol sometimes disappeared when I was in central London. I had to go to Setting wifi&network network and click set automatically for network. It went to Orange-T-mobile and now it is locked on fine and on H+ Orange. (@ Home)
[Galaxy S II General] Shujitzu:
Same here. from orange and got the FC.

Also, I found a couple more bugs. First, sound is really bad when using wired earphones. Second is when using bluetooth headset phone calls doesn't go through it, it uses the phone speakers and no call function via bluetooth.

Does anyone else can confirm this. Thinking of switching back.:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] Jazazze:
Can comfirm issues with bluetooth headsets.

Recieved a call earlier, 'headset' didn't acknowledge it so I picked up the phone manually, other end heard me but I didn't hear them.

Made a call via the 'headset' and was fine on both ends.

I was thinking about updating the firmware on my 'headset'.
[Galaxy S II General] redrazz:
Bugger. Wish I had found this thread before updating.

Only just updated via Kies in the last hour ... can one of you guys who have had the FC error confirm the phone works normally afterwards?

If so I can live with the error popping up until a fix comes out.

Cheers

[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
wonder if it's because of their T-mobile/Orange signal sharing causing problems
[Galaxy S II General] shawsky:
Wondering that too. On mine it will never swap to T mobile automatically, it just goes to 'Emergency Calls Only'. If I select T Mobile manually I can connect to the network and make calls etc no roaming logo appears.

Very annoying as the network share sorted out huge dead spots at home for me. Hopefully they'll fix it this week.
[Galaxy S II General] danmc17:
I too have this force close problem now after updating via kies an hour ago.

P4U Unbranded handset

Orange UK

Not been tinkered with in the slightest.

Poor Show
[Galaxy S II General] narcoustic:
I've been on orange the last few years and I can say 3G is dire. It;s ok in certain built up cities but even then it's really slow in comparison to three, even on so called HSDPA. I have a 3 wireless dongle and often compare the 3g signal and speed, 3 is a lot faster and I get 3G signal in most areas I've been in apart from extremely rural locations whereas with orange more often than not I'm on G or Edge.

Back to the topic however, I swapped the sim card for a three one and the force closed message disappeared on reebot, as soon as I put the orange one in it was back again.....
[Galaxy S II General] kurtish:
Me too.....

Bought sim free.....

Use my Orange sim.....

Flashed via Kies the official way.....force close....

Re-Flashed using Odin......force close.....

Just as I was starting to like the phone too.....Pfffft :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You guys need to flash back to XWKE1 until Orange sorts itself out or a new update comes out that fixes this.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
The worrying thing is this is stock firmware. Not orange firmware.

1. SGSII Isn't even out on Orange. Do you really think orange will sort it out? This problem only occurs on KE2 on SGSII right?

2. Do you think Samsung will notice this? Its only on one network.

Rolling out a new firmware just for this?

Slightly worried...

Swyped from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
I get full bars this year and last. Now after KE2 I'm getting 1bar...Sad ...

Swyped from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well since it's not affecting others on other networks we can only conclude that in Typical Orange fashion they pooped on something which is causing this ****ty bug for users on their network. Since this was not present on other firmware apart from XWKE2 I am positive it will be fixed in another update or by the time the device is released on Orange.
[Galaxy S II General] shawsky:
Yes there is the fact that the phone is coming to Orange. It's going to be popular so it will get sorted sooner or later (hopefully sooner!). I'm hoping that it will force them to sort out either the firmware or network issues with 3G once it's launched officially on Orange.

As a side note if I switch to WCDMA only I get a reliable 3G or H connection and get reasonable speeds. If I run auto mode with GSM, the phone prefers to use Edge or GPRS which frankly suck. That's got to be firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
so you think its better to switch to wcdma only?

whats the pros and cons of this as i dont really know what these are
[Galaxy S II General] shawsky:
No not at all I was just tinkering to see what worked and what didn't. Switching from auto mode didn't work on the original firmware the phone came with. Couldn't tell you pros/cons as I'm no expert.

Rather oddly, this morning the phone has been switching into H mode properly on data requests so maybe Orange have been doing something?

Still I await a better firmware from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] kurtish:
While your mobile is trying to find numerous signals it drains your battery, so switching to WDCMA if your in a good coverage 3g area is highly recommended - by ME :)
[Galaxy S II General] kurtish:
Also, if you're registered with SAMSUNG, go to www.samsung.com/uk go to support and click 'Product Service Status' down the right hand side and create a new enquiry and ask them what the problem is with the 'The

process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again' problem.

I guess the more people that log this complaint, the more chance there is of something being done :)
[Galaxy S II General] redrazz:
I just called Samsung UK helpline about this. The three points of interest:

1. There has not been an update for Galaxy SII . Kies is applying an update for Galaxy S by mistake

2. As I have had phone for under 30days return to store for replacement

3. When quizzed about software/firmware update to fix she said no. Either needs replacement hardware or sent off

Sounds they do not know arse from elbow.
[Galaxy S II General] kurtish:
That doesn't sound good......

In that case, does anybody have the original firmware the phone ships with?
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
New firmware is coming in the next couple of days to resolve this issue.

As posted before, it seems the Orange thing is only a local problem (UK). Orange Romania here, working flawlessly for about 2 days on KE2. (no FCs, no reboots).
[Galaxy S II General] shawsky:
Well as a first time Samsung customer I thought I'd give the customer service a whirl. I sent a product enquiry detailing the issue with the force close error and also that I'd heard the phones should be returned. Basically asking if this is true and what I should do, this is the reply. A stirling effort I'm sure you'll agree:

Dear xxxxxxx,

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This is so much BS that they fed you that I can smell the stink from here. No way in hell can a SGS firmware work on the SGS II so that person is retarded who told you this.
[Galaxy S II General] Blaiz0r:
I've noticed people are getting this error when updating.

I received my phone yesterday (18th May) from O2 as PAYG, and I unlocked it using the mobileunlock website that's been posted here before.

When I entered the code with my Orange Sim in I received the force close error but then the phone ran as normal without any problems as far as I can tell.

So it's strange, but perhaps I already had the update added to my phone before it was shipped, I haven't loaded Kies yet.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Got out of the tube. It stays on G.

Walked 5 mins from station to the house, still G (usually always 3g at home)

Turned wifi on. Tried searching on Google with stock broswer. Works perfectly.

Now when I turn wi-fi off. NOW IT GOES TO 3G/H

SORT IT OUT SAMMY lol
[Galaxy S II General] al_jolson:
Glad to see this post. I too just received my O2 PAYG phone, unlocked via sim-unlock.net, and got this error straight away with my Orange contract sim. Thought I had somehow messed up the unlock process at first.

For interest, I also tried an old Orange PAYG sim in this phone and the error does not reappear. I don't know if this means anything to anyone, but it would appear that maybe only Orange CONTRACT sims are affected?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
I really think some of this has ought to do with Orange & T-mobile 2g network. KE2 is struggling to return back to Orange network after being in ora-tmo network. E.g going in/out of tube station. No other network has this what orange has. Another network mode. It makes sense, to me at least.
[Galaxy S II General] Adails:
I have only just seen there is a new update available. Has anyone updated and does it fix the FC's? I don't want to go through all that again (the re-flashes) if I can help it.

Cheers in advance.

I have the same issue using KE2, however when i load Samsung Kies, there is no update available for KE7 (even though this was released a few days ago!)

How are people getting hold of the update!??

Cheers in advance!

[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
I got mine through kies, where are you from?

You'll need Odin, and the correct KE7 firmware for your region.

Odin 1.85 and some KE7 firmwares are here:

Ingore the rooting part if you just want firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] merbster:
I am in the UK mate

When i checked KIES last night, it kept saying i already have the latest firmware (KE2)

The issue is annoying me!! lol

I do not want to root anything, but i feel more comfortable using KIES (even though it is slow as a turtle sometimes!)

Please help!!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] merbster:
Anyone else have any ideas please? :)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Its very very simple THEIR IS NO UPDATE FOR YOUR PHONE .

You have a phone supplied by XXXX you need to ask them why they have not uploaded KE7 and are they going to use KE7 to the Kies server .

Once its on the Kies server you can update XDA don't know when the provider is going to update its their choice .

If you want you can use the unofficial method and download stock Samsung KE7 and update via Odin . This method may prevent future Kies updates .

[Desire General] darkmage1991:
just wanna let everyone know that i have fully flashed the CDMA HTC Desire to cricket with everything working, sending/recieving mms, and all apps access internet fine, using tokens flash, and conaps edited mms apk.

i have not seen ANY posts ANYWHERE that said if this phone was even able to be flashed, so i figured i would let everyone know it is, also i am running the latest cyanogenMod rom
[Desire General] XCALIBIR17:
This great news! I was considering buying a HTC Desire and flashing over to cricket since I'm able to get it for a good price.

Can you explain how you flashed it?? and what carrier was under the HTC desire?
[Desire General] darkmage1991:
pm'd you, if i didnt put it clear enough(i didnt go to much into detail cause i figure you know how to flash roms/rooting) i will break it down alittle more if needed. and the phone originally was nex-techwireless.
[Desire General] grarrg:
I just bought a used Desire from eBay with the intention of flashing it to Cricket. Could you PM me the instructions as well? It would be most appreciated.
[Desire General] XCALIBIR17:
Well I managed to root and flash a new rom, but I'm still having trouble to how to flash it over to cricket.
[Desire General] XCALIBIR17:
I have success of getting my 3G working :).

However, i can't make calls lol.

And to add, The mms fix link is broken when i try to download: telephony.db.zip. can u post a different link for it?

Do you have to activate it to recieve calls or something?

(edit): i cant extract telephony.db.zip. Do i take the whole file and drop it? or do i extract it?
[Desire General] darkmage1991:
no dont extract it rename it to telephony.db (remove .zip)
[Desire General] XCALIBIR17:
My wish came true!!

Goood News, it works!!

I can recieve calls and text and web(even thought its kinda slow at the moment).

Everything is correct from the tutorial, its just i had to call cricket to register the HTC desire under my cricket account. Ugh... It was a long process but i got it :).

No activation, it worked right after they register my MEID thiny from the back of my phone :).

Sooo yeah, how can I speed up my 3G? Its slower than my Huawei ascend's 3G. :/

I still cant get MMS working -_-.
[Desire General] darkmage1991:
o wait, its cause your ascend was on the "android" plan paying 55 a month but flashed phones are only alowed to be on the 45 a month plan, and that plan requires the use of the proxy (wap.mycricket.com) and the proxy has a speed limit on it unlike the android plan.

and if someone actually let you stay on the 55 a month with the flashed phone, then that means internet shouldnt be working at all due to you installing autostart, and setting the proxy settings. something you can try is open your voice dialer and say "open proxy settings" and erase the info and see if the internet even works, if it works what uninstall autostart.

and mms requires the modified mms app, telephony.db, and the apn's to be set using apn backup and restore, if you did do all that redo it. use exfile explorer and go into /system/app and delete the mms.apk and paste the modified one in there, after that click and hold on it and go down to permissions and set it like this(the x's put a checkmark in leave the o's empty)

xxo (user)

xoo (group)

xoo (other

now do the same with the telephony.db, then open apn backup&restore and delete apn's then click restore and use the apn file linked.

Need Help

Hi guys, sorry to interrupt.

I've been on the net for quite some time now searching for a solution to my HTC Desire problem but this is the first time I come across people who seem to know what they're talking about!!

My HTC Desire was working fine for almost 5 months ( I bought it from a close friend who brought it from Romania). the phone is already rooted or flashed or what ever you call that, I get a Joker holding a card on which is written S-OFF and around the Joker is Written "Why so serious" when I turn on my phone (if that helps you know what ROM or Root the phone is equipped with...)

The thing is few weekes ago, the phone began turning off by itself, just like that and I had troubles rebooting it ( sometime it just keeps on rebooting all over again uncessefully, so i had to get the battery out, wait few minutes before hitting the power button again). the Camera and the Camcorder stopped working suddenly and the phone starts rebooting every 10 minutes max.

I tried to root it again with unreviked 3, it was working pretty fine until the program tried to rebbot my phone and the Mothef....r wouldn't reboot (original problem) so communication was lost and rebbot was uncessfull.

I installed the latest version of HTC sync from HTC web site, but it wouldn't detect my phone !!!!

So now, I wanna flash the existing ROM with THE ORIGINAL one, the HTC official one as if I just bought the phone from a store. Is it the Solution for my problem?? and if it is can you please explain to me what to do exactely in the process ( if you can explain the terms you use "cricket" "build 366"...)

I know it's a lot to ask but I would be greatfull if you could help.

Thanks.
[Desire General] XCALIBIR17:
Ill try it out. I was using my stock 2.2 froyo with sense instead of the cyanmod since i like the interface better. I was sending text through the sense rom but cant send any mms apparently.

Another problem that i came across cyanmod's latest rom is that it has no market place -_-'.
[Desire General] XCALIBIR17:
No luck :/.

Is there a rom where I can have working MMS? lol

As for the telephony file. I just realize I had to create all those directories for me to put the file in, could that be part of the reason why?
[Desire General] darkmage1991:
i believe i had to create it also the file goes in this directory /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db , as for working mms rom, cyanogen 7.0.3 works fine, i think you have something not set or wrong.

and for the other guy i would reroot and flash a cyanogenmod rom and see how it is. and make sure you choose the correct rom(gsm is for desire's with a sim card, cdma is for desires without a sim)
[Desire General] Jereso:
Thanks for the guide, while I won't be using it myself, I'm sure someone will. I'm trying to make a CDMA Guide thread so I might use it and link to it.
[Desire General] darkmage1991:
you dont need worry bout it :) , this guide is only for people that are wanting to flash the phone carrier to cricket from uscc or another carrier. so not much people need this info, and the people that do need it can find it with the search button like the last people have done.
