I wrote a tool that prints out all (and I mean ALL) GSM stats (at least the ones PhoneStateListener supports). I also browsed the code of the Settings Status Application and I think something there is broken in Honeycomb and thats why the signal strength is always half. But the modem works normally. That means, do not trust the display :D

@Pepsi: 2700 is pretty good, isnt is? I didnt try yet.
[Xoom Android Development] pepsi22:
@ lowtraxx i had 4500 in quadtrant with just flashing it to 3.1 without working 3G

Thats really a difference to 2700 !!!
[Xoom Android Development] sandro.bertini:
Yes dognaldo,

Thats exaclty what I used, and I installed the recovery according to the CWM Recovery thread.

Good luck.

I mentioned in earlier posts about the browser saying proxy error, with the files I got from a german rom. Well another member gave me his settings files from a uk talkmobile xoom exactly the same as mine and I still get that error. Do you have any ideas mate.

cheers
[Xoom Android Development] lowtraxx:
@marshall - not yet, but I am looking into it as my research goes on.

@pepsi - thats strange, I got 2850 with the vanilla 3.1 with no 3G
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
Lowtraxx

Thanks for that. Just to let you know I put the sim card into my phone and there is no problem there so definately something with HC3.1 I think

[Xoom Android Development] lowtraxx:
Updated the thread with new infos pertaining network connectivity. Hopefully that fixes the connection problems for some of you.
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
lowtraxx

Could you possibly pm me the two telephony files as I have no backup to extract them from.

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
Here are mine from a fresh wiped 3.0 rom

One is 0 bytes. Just an empty wrapper I guess....
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
ed

Thanks for that mate much appreciated. I think after these two files that's me running near perfect now. Just gotta wait for lowtraxx to sort out the signal display then all is good.
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
lowtraxx

Just a quick one to let you know the telephony files did not sort out random loss of all apns.
[Xoom Android Development] Zerodime:
Is there a possibility to get the other database files (The settings one) also?

I thought I made a backup...I didn't and now I can't ge tthe files from anywhere it seems. unless it is possible to get them from my phone though.
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
zero

That's not a bad idea actually. Lowtraxx would probably have the answer to that idea.
[Xoom Android Development] Zerodime:
Well need to see where the databases are stored though as they aren't in the same place.
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
Don't even try that. DBs won't be compatible for sure. I have a full clean 3.0 cm backup set if you need it...
[Xoom Android Development] Zerodime:
well if you could send me the needed databases from the op then i would be very happy and probaby a fee others too
[Xoom Android Development] lowtraxx:
I would not try flashing files from a phone to a tablet. I browsed the files from my backup yesterday and noticed a lot of differeences between them and the files from my rooted Nexus S. Nearly all phone functions are disabled. Would be interesting to know if if I enable that stuff its possible to use the XOOM as a phone ;-) - On a different note, I have not yet a solution to the 3G loss problem, but I am working on it.
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
Just checked my dbs and they are not depersonalised. Please advise exactly which files you want and pm me an email to send them to. I will send you what I can......
[Xoom Android Development] Zerodime:
i need the files the op talked about to be pulled from the device in the first step
[Xoom Android Development] abbaskip:
I desperately need help.

I followed all of the steps, and everything was working perfectly. Then I was stupid enough to try a different framework apk. This lead to a bootloop (at the boot animation).

I entered recovery, reflashed, and everything was working fine again, but no 3G internet connection, so I followed the steps I had previously followed to get it working (push the build prop, push the settings for my telco etc).

But now it's stuck in boot loop again!?

Everytime I flash the settings it bootloops!?

EDIT: ARGH! I've now tried a couple of different Build props that I've found (ones that are taken from Australian Telstra 3G Xoom's just like mine, and ones that have previously worked with my Xoom) and nothing seems to work!

It's just so frustrating that the Xoom starts up before push the 3G drivers. Any help PLEASE!?

EDIT 2: I noticed it is saying on startup on the M Dual Core screen "verifying new bootloader signature... failed" Is this what is causing the issue?

EDIT 3: I've tried forcing the boot.img from the zip I was trying to flash, through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) and this seems to have worked!! :D
[Xoom Android Development] fanello123:
My device says "No Internet Connection", but internet ist working fine, does anybody know what to do against that?
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
I take it you mean it IS working fine?

check your APN and remove the port - that may work
[Xoom Android Development] fanello123:
Yeah, I ment is working fine.

There is no port specified in the APN settings
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
What are all your apn settings?
[Xoom Android Development] oaz1:
Hello

i get my stock 3g xoom yesterday with 3.0.1.

I want to upgrade with this guide. do i need root bevore to do this guid?

I have currently not much data on there, so i think i can start with this guid, is this right, because if i root all my data will wipe. is it necessarily?

I backuped my /system folder yet, is it enough or do i need more?
[Xoom Android Development] MattCB72:
You need root for this guide (How do you root your Euro-Xoom: look in this thread!).

If you want to backup your data, you need only to backup the files under /mnt/sdcard.

---

Für dich wohl besser in deutsch: :-)

Ja, du benötigst ein bereits gerootetes Xoom. Wie das geht, steht in diesem Thread. Eigentlich brauchst du nur die Daten im Verzeichnis /mnt/sdcard zu sichern. Wenn du den Filemanager HD nutzt, dann links auf "Storage" klicken, dann zeigt er dir den Inhalt der "internen SD-Karte" an. Dort befinden sich die "persönlichen Daten", also Fotos und so.
[Xoom Android Development] oaz1:
Thank you so much for your answer and translation!! I will try the root first.

Is it possible to overclock it with Honeycomb 3.1?
[Xoom Android Development] MattCB72:
Yes, with the Tiamat Kernel. Up to 1,6 GHz. :-)
[Xoom Android Development] mcfisch:
Today I made an interesting experience with the 3G-issue:

yesterday the 3G-connection was gone after losing signal - no problem, had access to wireless network. I've done nothing special, but today in the morning the connection has been back - without rebooting the device. :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] qwerp_:
this works for me. Only thing that is different is, I no longer able to get hspda connection. It always connect at 3G. But which is fine. As long as I have mobile internet.
[Xoom Android Development] fanello123:
Only name and APN are specified, all other points are empty.

Moreover I can't connect my restored apps with the market, does anybody know a solution for that?
[Xoom Android Development] muha87:
Hi guys I have a major problem and i dont know hoe to fix it.... I decided to use build.prop.frankenrom therefore I did not backup my original so know when i push build.prop.frankenrom and reboot I get this msg "the process com.android.phone has stopped working" any help would be appreciated. thanks
[Xoom Android Development] sandro.bertini:
muha87,

Sorry for the basic question but I need to ask, did you rename the build.prop.frankenrom to just build.prop before pushing?

Good luck,
[Xoom Android Development] lowtraxx:
The phone process normally only stops working if you did not push the settings.db or pushed it to the wrong place. If you logcat you will see that it tries to instantiate a CDMAPhone instead of a GSMPhone. Pushing the right settings.db files should fix this.
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
lowtraxx

Hello mate have you had any joy with sorting the signal and 3g display issues out yet.

Marshall
[Xoom Android Development] muha87:
Mate thank you sooo much.... I've been trying to fix this problem for about 23hours and 48minutes and all i had to do was push the settings and telephony files after pushing the build.prop and rebooting. Thank you soo much.
[Xoom Android Development] lowtraxx:
As far as my Signal Tests go, I think it still connects with HSDPA but shows only 3G. It seems that it uses the CDMA Part for Network matching, and this is why it only half bars and 3G.

Nope Marshall,

no luck as of now. I am still trying to sort out why the radio shuts down. But I think its the same issue some of the folks with Stock roms experience, where if you had PIN enabled the radio would start new every few hours. I think the same thing happens anyway with PIN disabled, but the User does not see it. For some reason it seems that on our Devices the radio isn't then able to restart itself (or takes a heck of a lot longer to do so.)

I think there will be no (or less) news on this for the next two days, as I will be in Stuttgart at the Droidcamp there

It looks like you need to remount then enter your command.

adb remount

Then push your files

[Xoom Android Development] andypotts:
Ran throught this procedure last night, am unable to get any mobile networks.

I'm on TalkMobile, when I choose "Select Automatically" to register on the mobile network it chooses vodafone and after about a minuter changes from connecting the disconnected on the status page.

Also in the APNs, there is Asda, BT Mobile, Vodafone UK and Vodafone UK Prepay.

Not sure if there should be more in there?

I've tried with the build.prop.frankenrom and also created my own from my backed up build.prop.

I've also push the db files several times.

Oe thing I havent run is the sqlite procedure, do I need to do this?
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
Remove the port, username and password from a custom apn created for talkmobile. Use the settings on the talkmobile website.
[Xoom Android Development] andypotts:
Thanks!!! i'm back on!

lcd density changer allows you to change the colours if you do buy it.

Set density to 240 - reboot - double tap network icon to set prefs in portrait - rotate to landscape to exit app - change density back to 160 and reboot!
[Xoom Android Development] mcfisch:
Ok, I now have this issue again, the widget (free version) currently shows the following:

4bars
NONE NONE
LAC:51509 CID:33393899

So I guess the modem is there, but it can't be used... :confused:

what happens if you try to use the browser when you get that?
[Xoom Android Development] mcfisch:

I never had this "hidden, but still connected"-issue which othere have reported.

I've only the missing network connection sometimes.
[Xoom Android Development] riccardo.rivani:
my pin was disabled but now it's enabled! and my xoom says it's not possible to disable.. how can i get out from this blind point?

just to make a better point of view, i tried to put my sim on a mobile phone and it didn't ask me a pin!!

EDIT. today is working.. don't ask me why but i woke up with apn and connection!
[Xoom Android Development] terminal 7:
do i .. dont i ...

i want to try this method to bring 3.1 to my xoom...

but i notice 3g issue seems to affect all that have tried it ..

so i may hold on for the moto update in august ( in theory ).

what is strange though is that my stock uk xoom has slight 3g issue,

when wi-fi is turned on all is good but if you turn wifi off the 3g network fails,

i get 4 bar signal but no internet connection..

once rebooted the 3g works just fine but every time i turn on wifi i know turning it off again will require a reboot to kick start 3g again.

not a related bug but still a bug, the xoom has so many bugs, i still love it though !!

.
[Xoom Android Development] lowtraxx:
Hi,

i have it now running for 8 days without 3G going missing once. I dont know if this is a coincidence, but since I installed Tiamats Kernel 1.4.4 I had no more hiccups in 3G reception or 3G loss at all. Could the ones who dare to try or who are on Tiamat 1.4.4 report on their experiences?

Thanks and Greetings
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
Lowtraxx

Im using that kernal and I have only lost it twice in 7 days which to be fair I can live with. Just need the signal bar now to behave and all will be spot on.
[Xoom Android Development] movieifx:
Am in the UK on talkmobile. Been on 3.1 for a couple of weeks now.On Tiamat 1.4.4 also. No loss of 3g. although signal bar thinks there is nol signal all is actually well. using widget to see signal level.
[Xoom Android Development] qwerp_:
same here.

tiamat 1.4.4 and no 3g signal lost.. on o2 network though.
[Xoom Android Development] lowtraxx:
Small Update to the main post. I will experiment with the Deodexed Rom from here tonight and maybe I can use some of the original apps from the UMTS Version to fix the Signal Strength Issues.
[Xoom Android Development] mynameisjon:
I hear that the de-odexed rom lowers battery life. any word on that? I know it's subjective, but compared to before, would you say battery life has gone down?
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
like you say, it's subjective but mine could take a hammering all day before without running flat. It got hammered yesterday and was flat by 10pm. I reverted to the non deodexed rom today.
[Xoom Android Development] kohz87:
i did the guide for 3.1, but my signal bar is only indicating half full and stuck at 3G, any asian set here that manage to get HSDPA?
[Xoom Android Development] shmigao:
this is a known issue:

1) we are all stuck at 2 bars, but actually get full reception (problem with the metering, lowtraxx is working on it)

2) it shows 3G (for me most of the time it doesn't say anything), but we still get HSDPA (again: a metering / display problem)

some have installed a widget that shows the true network speed and network type. you can find the name in this thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
I use the calendar on my phone a lot, with in fact 5 Google calendars in use and on view at the same time across 3 different Google accounts. Unfortunately the SGS2 calendar is sadly deficient with regard to the AOSP calendar as I used with Cyanogenmod 6.1 on my Hero previously and I would very much like to swap it out for the AOSP calendar. Can anyone advise on how to do this? I have seen this described for the original Galaxy and variations but have not been able to implement this on the SGS2. Many thanks in advance for any assistance!

Disadvantages of Samsung Calendar with regard to AOSP calendar:

Black background makes many appointments difficult to see as calendar colours are optimised for white background as with Google calendar web interface and AOSP calendar app. There does not appear to be any support for a theme or colour option setting.

All-day events are shown right at the top of the page and so are easily missed on Samsung Calendar but kept in view on with AOSP. See attached 'day view' screenshot with no all-day events visible despite week and month view showing 3 all day events that day.

All-day events lasting more than one day are shown separately for each day in most views with Samsung calendar and so it is not easy to see that they span several days. In week and month view, they are often reduced to tiny squares which have no label and can be really hard to see- see attached screenshot- can you see that there are 3 all day events on Saturday 21st but only 2 on the other days in the purple calendar? AOSP calendar would show them as continuous events spanning several days.

No hyperlink support: AOSP calendar allows you to click through on a phone number mentioned in an appointment to dial it, or the location described to do a maps search, the Samsung Calendar does not permit this.

Screenshots taken with this app (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.geeksoft.screenshot&feature=search_result) which decided to shift all of the colours here for some reason although I don't think it significant here- it still illustrates the above points adequately.

Hi

I've been contemplating if I should get this mount for some time now, and have found some conflicting reviews on Amazon, etc. Some users have claimed lost of adhesive performance over time and has rendered the product pretty much useless after a few uses.

So to all those who have bought and used this product on a daily basis or at least close to daily. How has the product held up? Does it still hold your phone like it did on Day 1 of use? Any other thoughts or comments is appreciated. :D

Although i hade 1 app crash (no logcat) the apps seems to run pretty good. Also my jabra3030 bluetooth headset works beautifully!
