Looks like WM has lost against ANdroid and iPhone :(

But to be honest, i never really used the Microsoft MyPhone Service and the Marketplace as there are lots of (also free) alternatives when you search the web.

Yeah i know...it has always been a little bit more tricky to find good software on the web, but i was always satified.

I only used the MyPhone for backing up my SMS. Therefor i now use Cloud SMS backup which is very useful.

well that is so bad from microsoft. they realy have a micro brain. cant thinks abt us who are with ms from so many years . they spoiled the os . then committed sucide in frnt of android. that too is thier mistake only. they paid the developers. then why would any one go for ms.

now **** even they cant see us living with dead os.

i will never buy a ms again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raven_raven:
That's quite a point you're making there. I went to Austria in winter with my HD2 and Android installed on it. Of course I had to switch off data because of ridiculous prices of traffic in roaming. And then my phone simply became... useless. I couldn't even open up few what you can think offline apps, cause they wanted to check license (of course by using internet connection)! Android is really data-needing.

I ended up by flashing WM (I had my laptop) ASAP. And guess what. It was more functional than Android.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] altae:
That's why I have never been very fond of those Android devices. It starts with the activation of the device after you bought it. It's just ridiculous, a device that costs several 100 $ does not work decently without a google account. My WM device belongs to me without MS telling me what I can do and what I don't. Sad they have chosen the same way as google and Apple with WP7.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stealth21:
Yes but thats better!

Easier and the fastest way to setup a new rom.

Just enter your google account and your whole contact list would be downloaded to your phone..

My Phone service is very very slow (unfortunately)

I own a HD2 too, i tried both os, all i can say i never hated android, it was fun. Just its startup was too long and the battery drain is much worse than windows mobile.. As i did the same thing with my phone in both os i cant say which one is better or worse, but android got the advantage...

Better software support.

whatsapp Will never come to winmo6.5. As for Tango i dont really think so..

Google account is thing that already everybody has.(almost)

What i didnt undrstand in that topic is "Will we be able to ise our skydrive accounts as we did use my phone in the past. İ totally liked myphone because i hate to use some software for backing up my contacts as a file. And i really would need skydrivea to importing my contacts, not just storing them as a file. its not enough for me.

İ have a windowslive account, that should do the job.

i have a Google account that also should do the job in wın mobile also.

But considering that its another company's service it should be working in limited way i dont care. The companies should have some agreements in those issues. Contacts importing should be essential.

Now that im back to my Windows mobile 6.5 in my hd2 for a little time i want to have its joy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gutana:
I recently rooted my phone and tried putting on a Metamorph theme. All was going well, until i tried putting on the framework mod thingy. The phone froze for a while, and i did a battery pull. And then the phone started up again, and shows the startup screen (Not the Glowing S) But the screen before that that says Samsung Galaxy S, GT-i9000M. And it stayed there for a few seconds, then went black, then went back to the Galaxy S page, and repeated x infinity. I tried using odin to reset it to factory settings, but I think i downloaded the wrong firmware. Now the Galaxy S screen lasts for half a second, then reboots. I've tried a few versions of the firmware, and I'm aware that i most likely screwed my phone horribly. Is there anything I can do to fix my phone? I can get on the "DOWNLOADING, DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" But I can't get to the screen that lets you choose to format everything, or reboot. It worked before, I reformatted, but it did nothing.

+ I'm a newbie to this site, I've browsed it before, but this is my first time posting. Sorry if wrong section.

And if all I need is the correct firmware for Odin, could somebody link me a download?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] urself25:
Which Vibrant do you have? T-Mobile's version or Bell Canada's version?

If it is T-Mobile go to this forum : http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708. The phone is not exactly the same as the international I9000.

If it's Bell Version, which ROM have you installed? Bell's version is not the same as the T-Mobile. It's basically an I9000 but with a NAM modem.

Also, did you apply any lagfix?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cralis:
Hi guys,

I have a SGS2, and it's wonderful, but I am noticing a very annoying issue.

I will be browsing a site, for example, and then go through a bad reception area, so I lose internet. However, a lot of the time, it never reconnects. I might have the H, and 4 bars... but only the up (green) arrow flashes... and I get 'This page cannot be displayed'. No mail.. nothing. Internet connectivity is gone .. even though I am sure I am in a good reception area.

What I have to do is go into Aeroplane Mode, and then out of Auroplane Mode, which seems to force a reconnect... and then all is fine. It seems when I lose reception ... it doesn't try to reconnect.

I am running 2.3.2. Maybe it's an app? I use 3D watchdog... and a few other apps... but it's really annoying. I hope it's a known issue, that might get resolved.

Today I noticed I had no mail for a few hours... Went into Aeroplane Mode, and out, and then they all flooded in... :confused:

Never had this problem on my Galaxy even with 1 bar signals, but I know what you're talking about tho, had the problem on iPhone 4 until apple released an update which fixes the modem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
Had this problem as well.There is a thread here or in development section about disabling fast dormancy (tried it but didnt solve my problem).Also there is a thread here talking about bad reception (search it you ll recognize it) and few guys added few lines in the build.prop file but I didnt test it.I solve it with factory reset.The problem you have is that the phone when is not using data connection goes from H to 3G to save battery but some times when is trying to go from 3G to H to use data(eg you open your browser) that action failed.Thats why you have disconnections and you need to reset the connection.

ps after I did factory reset I faced this problem one more time and after that till now I had zero disconnections (10 days now tested)

ps2 check from settings>about phone>battery usage the cell standby persent.If you click on it you ll see a "time with out signal" and a persentage.This in my case is still high (100%!!!!!) but I think this is a bug.

Hope to help

No its not a bug.As i wrote some carriers using fast dormancy and of course samsung using it in order to save your battery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seivad17:
I am so glad you asked. I have had the same problem and even though I have searched and read the fast dormancy thread, It didn't sound like the same symptoms I was having. You hit the nail on the head with your description. I guess I will see if disabling it fixes my problem.

However, I thought AT&T had fast dormancy enabled because the Iphone has it....?

P.S.

This is so not helpful!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !2020!:
When I enter the code *#*#9900#*#* to disable fast dormancy it takes me to the menu for it no problem. Then when I press the button for disable fast dormancy it turns blue so I know that I've pressed it but nothing else happens. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Do you need to be rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
I am on AT&T too in NYC. And have this exact problem, and disabling fast dormancy does not help.

Agree with you on your second point too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cralis:
I'm now around 15 hours into the 'fast thing' being disabled... and so far, so good. If it works for the rest of the day, I can declare that my phone is fixed :), but it's quite sad that it's not working for the other chaps... :(

I noticed I had to reboot... Maybe you haven't rebooted?

Also, someone mentioned on another thread that when they rebooted, the setting went back to Enabled. Carrier stuff forcing it to enabled maybe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
I rebooted multiple times, and even pulled the battery out a few times. I also tried a different SIM card. I even put the phone inside a pentagram and read some passages from some books. Nothing is helping. My provider AT&T is not forcing fast dormancy, the settings stick. But the problem does not go away.

Hi

I had the same problem when at work and in a weaker signal area i couldnt get online at all and fast dormancy option didnt work.

i found another post that helped me solve my issue

Get Odin v1.85 from here: http://www.multiupload.com/1RTGSE061G

i flashed a generic modem it seems that the newer one has some problems with holding a 3G/H signal

please see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

the one you need would be xwke1 and will only need to flash the PHONE: XXKDJ (modem firmware) and it will roll back the modem to an earlier version more stable and no connections issues for me anyway.

you will still be on the latest firmware and it will not affect your phone files ect.

ps and you will need to put your phone into download mode first if you look in the 2nd link and scroll down you will see a guide for using odin i was scared i would bugger my phone at first but i worked and is simple.

Hope this helps (no Root Required)

also if you go settings about phone you can see what baseband/phone modem you are on and when im at work now if i force the phone to only use WCDMA only it holds on to a H signal regardless of if im outside or inside my office

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
download the whole rom from the rom development section

use 7zip to open the rom file

extract only the modem.tar file

prepare your phone to use odin.

open odin on pc

select pda only and place the extracted modem.tar file in the pda field.

flash away....and you should get the required modem installed on your device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcchik:
thanks, i was hopping there's somewhere for me to download the modem.tar only since the whole package was too large and take ages to download it.

I flashed that modem update last night and it looked like it might have made a positive difference when I was at home last night. Now I'm back at work this morning though I see it's made no difference whatsoever disappointingly. I'm going to flash the full new I9100XWKF1 firmware tonight and if that doesn't sort it, which I don't imagine it will, then the useless piece of ****'s going back to Amazon in exchange for an HTC Sensation.

Coming from the design and build quality of an HTC Desire there are a few other things about the Galaxy S II that annoy me but I could've got used to them in exchange for the beautiful screen on the thing. A next-to-useless internet connection on a high-spec smartphone though is a complete deal breaker for me and I'm not willing to bet on the fact that flashing custom ROMs and buggering about with hidden settings might fix this critical issue for me at some point in the future. Very disappointing stuff from Samsung there!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
Exchange your phone becoz i have a feeling you have a defective unit...same as me previously...and some other users here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medulla:
Hmmm, maybe. I'm not sure whether to just ditch the thing entirely and swap to a Sensation as I don't know how much hassle will be involved in convincing Amazon that this phone is defective and I need a replacement.

Also, having flashed the new modem using Odin, does that invalidate my warranty on the phone? I know it's an official signed binary and all, but there's some posts around the net implying that flashing with Odin at all is considered a hack of sorts by Samsing; of have I picked that up wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cralis:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kareshi:
I have the same issue of losing mobile data frequently. Sometimes signal is even lost (displaying the circle icon) or if the 3G/H+ icon is gone, there's no APN on the list.

so i tried to update the modem firmware and it seems promising. make sure you check the modem box, and not the PDA if you're just downloading the modem tar from this thread

Hi mmorisa

A little off topic..since you are in malaysia where did u get your phone frm?

And back to the topic for everyone else.....i got my phone when it first launched from clove uk It has a mojor issue of data connection stalling on 3g and radio will reset everytime that happens...first i thought it was the telco or even firmware..tried everything..and non works. Than a few friends ordered from handtech uk and got their phones couple of weeks ago,we tested our phones..with same carrier and at same location..only my phone was behaving crazy.

Actually if you searched the forum carefully...another guy(omnia_user) also had this problem and he got another sgs2 and compared..he found that everytime the data connection stalls..in the logcat reading there is a process of usb host getting blacklisted etc etc..and true enough..on my phone the damn usb host thingy was there just before the data stalls and radio resets..but on my friends phones...NADA..no usb host bla bla bla process..no radio stalling..everything is perfect on theirs.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medulla:
I searched the forums and the omnia_user only has a single post here; is that the user you're referring to?

Anyway, I'm intrigued by this idea that there's a proper error message that can be captured when the modem stalls i.e. this 'usb host getting blacklisted' error you mention. I've never used logcat with my phone before so I might try and run it this weekend; partly out of curioisity about logcat in general and partly to see if I can consistently replicate this usb host blacklisting issue. I generally get much better network performance at home though, it's when I'm in work that the phone's net connection really goes to ****, so I might struggle a bit to replicate it at home. If not I might bring my netbook at work and try to do it here next week. Assuming I haven't just cracked and sent the damn thing back to Amazon by that point. ;)

Edit: actually I realise now I don't need to hook my phone up to a PC to run logcat, this was a flawed assumption on my part based on a few minutes quick Googling about it earlier. So I've installed CatLog and will try to get time to check the logs when the connection is playing up this afternoon. I did try a couple of minutes ago and, of course, the net connection ran flawlessly as soon I needed it to fail! There were no instances of log entries mentioning either 'blacklist' or 'USB host' at the time I was running CatLog but, if I understand this stuff correctly, old errors get cycled out pretty quickly anyway so that's no indication that such errors were not being created in the past on my phone.

Edit: since I can't fall asleep here is the extract from the thread:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medulla:
I just had a quick pass at this and saw the same set of log entries briefly appear once before they cycled out of the logs entirely a few seconds later. However, my connection went up and down a few times during that time but the 'blacklist' log entries only appeared once in that time so I'm not 100% convinced that these two things are directly related; if they were I'd expect the relevant log entries to appear every single time the connection choked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
You can do another test..switch to GSM only mode and start using your data connection..monitor your log file and see if this USB bugger appears..on my defective phone it only appears on GSM/WCDMA auto mode..when I use 2g only this does not appear at all no matter what I do.

Hope this helps your troubleshooting
