Wanted sense 3.0 but 2.1 is doing just fine. And battery life for me on the leak isn't that bad either. And I've tried all roms, kernel combos there is
[Thunderbolt General] bgg71:
back to froyo for me

I agree with you regarding the GINGER-leak and CM7 based on 2.3.4. My testing yesterday (of gingerjane 1.2) reveled beside the obvious camera bug much slower LTE speeds (like at least 5x slower). Both of those are serious enough to make me go back to Froyo until bugs are worked out. And I am sure there are other bugs. The TB is my primary phone and I need a fully working one.

Anyone has noticed much slower LTE speeds with 2.3.4, perhaps due to the new radios? The speed was below 2 mbps download, when I get 12-22 mbps at home with the last OTA radios and froyo.
[Galaxy S II General] 1randomtask:
I've got a bit of a dilemma.

I'm tied between a Nexus S (850Mhz SLCD) and an SGS2.

The most love i have for my Captivate is when my user experience gets closer to AOSP.

I like the GB launcher, GB Keyboard, the ability to run custom roms, modems and kernels. Swype does nothing for me, nor do any of the Samsung apps.

I realise the SGS2 is only new - and is almost twice the phone (at least performance wise) that the Captivate/Nexus S is - however is it looking like we will have the same freedoms as the i9000 and their derivatives? Or is the Nexus S really the way to go if you want total control over your handset?

I'm not a dev, but i love to tinker, tweak and take the best of each component to make my experience, mine ;)
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Well, the SGS2 appears to have no significant locks in place, as you can easily flash a custom ODIN file with an unsigned kernel or ROM. Yes, a warning triangle shows if you do this, and a counter is incremented, but that is easily reset...

It's not got the full AOSP experience yet, but that's something I can look at when mine arrives... There is kernel source, and very basic android source, though not a full tree by any means...
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
sorry to hijack your thread, but where did you find the nexus s with the SLCD screen and 850mhz 3g? i didnt think that version existed and i'm interested. ATT compatible obviously.

oh and to answer your question, an AOSP ROM is still not known yet if it will truly be possible or not. at least this time around some more of the source code was released, but its not everything so nobody knows for sure yet how in depth a ROM dev can go.

Yes, yes, I totally should have done the search which I obviously totally didn't, otherwise I totally would have found the solution. Please spare me these kinds of answers, I did my research as much as I could... :)

Now, the outline of the problem:

-I cannot get a gps fix. I think I probably managed get an accurate location with google maps. Once for 10 seconds, and then it was gone.

-The phone cannot see satellites.

-Antenna, GPS antenna and antenna cover have been replaced, it was repaired 3 times with the same no-lock issue. It did not fix it, tho.

-I tried stock roms, cooked roms, different kernels and different radios. It still could not see a single satellite.

-I tried the "wipe this-install fasterfix-gps-status-enable that" stuff I stumbled upon so far.

-The most accurate position I can get is around 600-1500 meters. No change if I enable the GPS satellites.

-I tried Ndrive, IGo and Google maps, under open sky for long minutes. Nothing.

Any ideas?

lol it sounds me (i had a lot of problems with my gps...)

1- u tried flashing the recommended base band radio?

2-u tried (IMPORTANT) to flash the correct RIL?

3-u tried to warm up the metalic contacts that are under the gps cover?

4-try it and then use GPS STATUS to fix it....

5-post the results please :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itarill:
1- u tried flashing the recommended base band radio?

Yes.

2-u tried (IMPORTANT) to flash the correct RIL?

AFAIK I need it only if I don't use recommended radio. I used recommended radios with sense roms, as well as I do now with MDJ's UD 1.8+kernel+recommended radio.

3-u tried to warm up the metalic contacts that are under the gps cover?

The phone is on the sun when I'm leaving it out to get a fix. Also, I hold it in hand, which supposedly warms it up.

4-try it and then use GPS STATUS to fix it....

See above.

5-post the results please

Still :/ http://db.tt/qH2YCbW
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi to all.

Erm.. what do you mean by warm up the metalic contact?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itarill:
Woah, it would be awesome. I had it reapaired in Carrefour, France. So I don't know if it stands for those repairs too. Now I'm home in Hungary, so we'll see. I will definitely keep returning it if it takes that to get a working phone...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GemeenAapje:
Same problem here, except my GPS worked perfectly fine until I upgraded to Android 2.3 last week. Since then I can't get a single satellite to lock.

I've used GPS Status to reset and download A-GPS data to no avail.

HTC told me to factory reset my phone which I've done. Nothing works!!

Tried with and without SIM. Various combinations of WIFI on/off with SIM inserted and removed.

I'm really angry.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[Omnia 7 General] 4N0:
Omnia 7 16GB NODO

WP7 Bench for storage for 0.8MB chunks showed 4.3MB/s and 4.9MB/s on second test. It was blazing fast.

After month Omnia7 got sluggish. Now it shows storage efficiency at level of 3MB/s. It's obviously slower.

Any ideas? My Omnia7 still has 8.5GB free out of 15GB. Only few new apps were installed ans some photos and videos appeared. I also integrated with Facebook.

***UPDATE***

Cleared IE history, Bing history and maps history. Again 4.36GB/s and 4.9GB/s so cache is point here.
[Omnia 7 General] DMAND:
I saw the same (well I wouldn't say the phone got sluggish, still very fast) but WP Bench results decreased deleting IE history got it back up to 4.9 then deleting maps history got it to 5.9 deleting bing history no difference

Hi Guys,

I've got a Galaxy Gio S5660 with Froyo 2.2.1 and its network locked to 3Hutch europe. Recently samasung announced to update to Gingerbread 2.3. But i need some serious advice weather to upgrade to 2.3 or wait until someone comes up with some method to find the unlock key on froyo.

I'm really stuck with this network lock and i hate it :mad:

[Droid 2 Global General] xploited:
My Droid 2 Global is currently at 2 day 16 hours of uptime since unplugged, standard battery, moderate usage (some gaming, some phone calls, some syncing, some data connection, regular music listening)... and it still shows 40% of battery life left...

So, how did it all start?

I have followed some of the suggestions from the Battery Life Writeup thread

1. froze most of the bloatware in Titanium Backup (except for the Global apps)

2. set screen birghtness to Auto

3. set the battery profile to Custom

4. wifi and data disabled unless i need it, background data on

5. animation - all off

...

6. finally, i flashed the phone to a local CDMA provider, CDMA mode is set to Home Only, and 3G is off unless I need it.

7. i additionally killed and cleared data of the motorola services via built in android app manager

... but that helped only marginally, as I was getting 1.5 days max under minimal use :(

Until one day... I charge the phone in the morning, use it heavily throughout the day - music + data + phone calls... and it's dead in 12 hours. :((( I actually shut off on me in the evening the same day during the phone call... I kinda got frustrated with this phone, since it wouldn't even last through the day when i needed it ....

... so I plugged it in while it was turned off, it charged fully, i unplugged the phone and turned it off before going to bed, now let the WTF begin :

WTF#1: So, I pick the phone up in the morning and it's still @ 100% after like 10 hours of standby (needless to say it usually loses 30% of battery overnight). I am like ok.... must be a batter meter lag. :confused:

WTF#2: I use the phone normally for the entire day - phone calls, music player + scrobbling via data connection, some syncing.. and by the end of the day the battery is @ 90% :eek:

WTF#3: I pick up the phone next morning after 1.5 day of use and it shows 80% of battery left At this point i start thinking the battery meter is screwed up on me and it will just shut off while @ 70% or something... but that wasn't meant to be.. I seriously start trying to get it discharged - playing games + wifi + syncing + putting in a sim card + checking mail + browsing... and by the end of the day it's only @60% :eek::eek:

WTF#3 So, again next morning i pick it up and it's @ 40% of battery. and I have no clue how the hell this happened. right now its approaching 3 full days (2 days, 18 hours) of heavy - moderate use and the battery still shows 40% left. :eek::eek::eek:

Any ideas how this could happen? I will try to reproduce it once it finally discharges by letting the battery die completely and charging it while it's turned off. Anyway... your thoughts?
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
i got similar usage when i wasnt connected to a network i.e. data and wifi was off. i got a full 3 and a half days with minimal usage, turning wifi on when i needed it. with wifi and data on at all times i get about a day and a half of usage.
[Droid 2 Global General] DroidSquared:
Plz let us know the outcome

I'm also struggling with batt. life

Sometimes I have to use three batteries per day :(

(I have many spare batteries just in case I have heavy usage)

It would be great to have three days of battery life!
[Droid 2 Global General] ben7337:
Not sure how you managed the couple days of battery life, but that 100% after 10+ hrs without using the phone is pretty doable. Once you remove the bloatware that is. I can consistently let the phone sit for 10-12hrs and it will at most lose 10% battery life.
[Droid 2 Global General] keolawills:
If you use your SMARTphone as it was designed, there is no way to get that batt life. If you use it like an old dinosaur nokia(phone calls and texts only no data) then sure, that is possible.

sent from a blackANGEL
[Droid 2 Global General] xploited:
Hi guys, just stopping by to update that since my original post I went through a couple of charge-discharge cycles, always getting 2-3 days of battery life, depending on my usage.

So, as you see, it's possible to get this kind of battery life if using the phone as smartphone ;) cause well.. that's what's happening to mine :)

I will add the additional details I omitted in my original post:

------------------------------------------------------------------

1. set your default launcher to LauncherPro

2. follow the steps in the Battery Life Writeup thread if you haven't yet

3. turn off wifi and data unless you are using it

4. clear your battery stats using Calibrate Battery app

5. discharge your phone completely until it dies (if you have a wall charger)

6. charge it back up while turned off, turn it on once done.

7. force stop & clear data for the following services - (proceed at your own risk lol it didn't break my phone but it might break yours )

- Task Manager (freeze it)

- Bluetooth Share / Bluetooth Dun (if you don't use bluetooth)

- com.motorola.photowidget

- Email Engine (if you don't use email app)

- Home (if you use launcherpro)

- Motorola Services

- Social Messaging Service

- TTS Service (if you don't use tts)

- Voice commands (if you don't use voice commands)

Then, theoretically you should have the same battery life as I do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delphin9:
Hi, I have a SS/ATT Galaxy S. It was working fine. I made the mistake of running an update to change the ATT splash screen. The device boots to the ATT splash screens and stays there. You can hear the SS start up sounds as though the unit booted ok.

I've tried various Odins they all hang on file analysis. I've tried using different computers per the recommendations in the various threads. I've tried many of the one click and also separate file updaters. They all hang on file analysis.

I am able to use Droid explorer to view the device. I've also put a new update.zip on an sd card but nothing seems to change the splash screen.

I'm not sure how to tell what version the unit is currently on.

I can get to the 3 button state. It says Android System recovery <2e>.

I have the options to reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. I've tried each of them, no change.

I have tried to read many threads before bothering anyone. Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
if you have the update.zip on your phone, in the root of your SD card.. then from 2eRecovery, select reinstall packages.. may have to do it twice. That will boot your phone into clockworkmod recovery.. and from there you should be able to mount storage- put a ROM on your device, flash and be good to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delphin9:
Reply to thread

Hi, Thanks for the fast response. I've tried update.zip on both an sd card and also via droid explorer, about 5 times. If I reboot, same thing, the ATT splash is there, and the Galaxy boot sound. I can get into recovery and droid explorer works. If I try Odin it hangs on file analysis. Anything else I can try? Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Are you in dl mode when you try this, or recovery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delphin9:
The phone is now bricked. I was in recovery mode as I saw the 3 button posts on holding the up/down and pwr. I just tried it with dl mode and odin3 and bricked it.(based on another forum's input to check repartition I think). Now it won't boot at all but I'm still able to get to dl mode but not sure what to run to fully recover.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blutruck:
If you can get to dl mode try using AIO Captivate to flash back to stock 2.1. I've had success as I flashed with the partition checked and had to go all the way back using ODIN contained in the AIO Captivate program. Found here
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah if you can get into download mode than you are not bricked. I would Odin or Heim back to JF6 and go from there. What happened when you tried reinstalling packages from 2e? I know you said everytime you reboot- but what did it say when selected reinstall packages?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delphin9:
I'm back to 2.1, baseband I897UCJF6, Kernal 2.6.69, Eclair. Thanks to everyone for your very kind help. Much appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Of course it is worthed it to move to 2.3 :) I mean, it comes with so many more features and is running just perfect as a everyday rom. You shouldn't be disapointed ;)

don't blame the poor people, blame the TV news. If apple launches a piece of brick you can be sure there will be on every news channel and the radio.

Just wait and see when the first ifhone comes out with dual core, they are going to announce it like the most amazing thing ever. Even though there are dual core phones long time ago.

So basically for the general public the only smartphone that exist is the Ifone. That's why if they see it is a touch screen, then it must be an Ifhone :D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hazard99:
Ya know Ive come to the conclusion that people cant tell the difference. I will have people come into my store looking for ink for a 4 year old printer.

They then proceed to try and show it to me on the sales floor. They will point out an hp even if their printer is a cannon.

I then say ma'am/sir we change printers about every 6 months . There is no way we would have your printer on the shelf.

my point is they see a phone with a slender shape and think iphone or a tablet and think ipad.

In a crowd I can pick out a phone based on camera location color and size.

Is that sad or just really nerdy?

Ive had it happen as well. its no different than any other brand becoming so popular that the name brand becomes the name.
