[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan79:
Hey all!

so, I've got an odd issue that I've been seeing pop up lately on my MT4G. Not sure if it's just a settings issue or?

If I'm currently on a call, and someone else calls in, if the 2nd call goes to Voicemail it kills the 1st call as well.

Phone is rooted, and currently running CM7 Nightlies (#90)

Again, not sure if it's just a bad settings issue, or a bug in the ROM or?

Anyone else seen this or know how to resolve it?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pareto37:
I'm seeing the same issue on RoyalGinger 2.1.

I've noticed that the issue doesn't occur if you select to send the call to voicemail before the 30 seconds of "ringing time" ends.

Also, the device seems to drop the network entirely, and has to re-register with the network.

I've already replaced the device (for a different issue). So I've seen this on two separate devices. In addition, I put my SIM into another Android device at the same location and it worked as expected...

Hey guys,

I got my brodit active car holder now for a few days and it seems it doesn't supply enough juice to the S2 while in use :-(

While navigating with navigon, it even loses charge, though it's connected .... that's really disapointing, since brodit normally supplies quality products.

Anyone else got the brodit active holder with the same problems?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] travisb:
Not got the Brodit, but I have the same problem when using CoPilot and charging via the USB cable attached to a car charger. It can keep the charge at current level with CoPilot on, but will only charge with CoPilot off.

Also noticed if SII has less than 50% charge, it won't charge at all with CoPilot on.

Taking a punt on one of these to see if it makes a difference:

Which holder do you have exactly? Can you make a photo?

Does it toggle car dock in the S2? You can see a steering wheel in notification bar.

I was thinking exactly the same thing this lunchtime. I have the cigarete lighter active Brodit mount and - if i makes any difference - a 2004 Vauxhall Astra H. I as wondering if I would have to turn off the nice things [like satellite view, etc] on the phone for it to survive the journey. Not happy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Frank2:
Is the S2 in USB AC Mode?

Take a look here: Einstellungen - Telefoninfo - Status

Yesterday I modified a Brodit active car holder from the good old htc HD2 to fit the S2. Now I have fast charging (AC) and Car-Mode.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alx37:
I currently own some chargers. Not the original one, well the UK Version with no use in Austria.

A 1A HTC Charger with USB socket, a 450mA noname charger with USB socket and a no name car charger with micro usb.

The car charger and the HTC charger show charging(AC) whilst the noname 450mA charger shows charging(USB)...

It would be interesting to measure the exact mA taken by the phone...

Hi all,

Okay, I've now tried four different chargers, and I've also had the phone replaced. Today, in a last attempt, I bought an official Samsung charger.

NONE of them work - even though the phone says "charging on AC" for all of them.

The only thing I haven't tried is a different car (which I'm going to do, once my neighbour gets home).

The one sensible suggestion I've read is that Samsung have screwed up somewhere in software and the phone can't draw enough juice.

Electronics is beyond my little brain, so I don't get why the GS2 charges from my netbook (even when it's only on battery) but won't charge in the car.

And I'm not talking when I'm using satnav. It won't charge at all. In fact (weirdly) it actually DISCHARGES much faster than it does if it's just sitting in my pocket.

I've logged this with my provider (Voda UK), because I refuse to get stuck with a useless phone for the next 18 months if this isn't sorted out. It's ludicrous. If I can't charge the phone in the car it's as good as useless to me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] barneypooch:
UPDATE:

Okay, I just tried my neighbour's car (Vauxhall Astra) and the GS2 charged perfectly. 3% in four minutes. Pretty much what I get off the mains charger.

I wish I knew about electrics but I don't. Explanations will have to come from the boffins round here.

I tell you what, though. I don't really want to get a new car just to use my phone properly :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alx37:
Do you have any chsrger with a led?

If the led stays dark the cigarette lighgter of your car might need a new fuse.

Which car?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mobilemaduk:
Ive ordered one of these mounts and will report how it behaves in my 2008 Civic
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eddablin:
You might be able to change to a higher amp fuse in your car fusebox.

ROFL!! Genius!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mobilemaduk:
Brodit mount arrived and looks great. Fit and design excellent and seems to charge as I would want.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bart1981:
So what charger do you guys advice? Which charger does charge the phone, even while navigating with Navigon?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] storm2k5:
I got the Brodit active charger (BR512...), there isn't a problem with charging at all.

I think the issue you got is really car related. My guess:

a) your cigarette lighter port is poorly wired -> Measure voltage at the port with a voltmeter, it should be at least 12V DC (Edit: Even if it does there is still the possibility that your wiring is bad, showing 12V doesn't mean it can handle the current this charger needs)

b) your cigarette lighter port doesn't make a good contact to the brodit plug. Check for corrosion of the contacts, dust, dirt, etc. Some ports go bad after lots of plug in / out cycles.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about here, I'm pretty sure every car mechanic can fix your problem for a small amount of money ;)

Edit: it's very possible this plug works with other chargers and phones and still fails with the S2 charger. The reason for this is the different ways chargers convert the car's 12V DC into 5V DC. Some might work down to 7V input, some already **** up at 11.8V
[Galaxy S II Accessories] silentmanbr:
I have the same problem with my GSII trying to charge it with my 12V Ipod adapter...

I just arrive from a short travel with my Citroën Xsara and i almost got lost cose the phone discharged all the time while using IGO on the phone...

I don't think this is car related because there are so many people with different cars having this problem... so... Samsung wants me to buy a new car to be able to use their phone in travels? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Macktv:
Hi guys, just thought I'd try to clear up a few of things:

1. All phones can use more power than they can draw. Note that the more apps you use, the more juice you draw depending on their features.

2. Not all CLAs are the same. Most modern devices will need 2amps, but the majority of CLAs on the market are 1 - 1.2amp units.

3. Your device will stop charging if it reaches a certain temperature, without giving you any further indication that it is too hot. This is a common scenario if you've got a phone on the dash giving guidance, with the sun rays beating a back. And yes this does mean dedicated satnav devices have a greater operational temperature range than phones, usually a 15-20 degree difference (celcius).

4. If the CLA is being tripped out due to poor isolation (a lot of cars suffer from this) it will also stop charging.

5. In general terms, the lower the battery level of the device, the more juice it pulls. This is why you may find you ha email no problems getting a small charge when you start with a battery at 85%, but your phone dies if the battery is 50% or less.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LazyPawn:
OK, I have no idea what the problem is. I have a Brodit active charger (the cig-plug version) for my Galaxy SII. It's not charging my phone AT ALL. There is no sound, nothing displayed on my phone when I connect it. I have the charger led (blue light) on, so I know it's working.

Things I have tried so far:

1. Asked for a replacement from Brodit. Got it, no difference.

2. Tried with a different car (I have a BMW, my wife a brand new Toyota Auris) - doesn't charge it either.

3. Tried a different no-name universal charger - it works perfectly well, the phone is charging as expected. Other things like the GPS device also work fine.

4. Tried a different kernel and ROM on my phone, still no success.

Any suggestions are welcome.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] luminus:
Thats strange, in the first place i thought a faulty micro-usb or charger. But you got it replaced so can't be the problem.

I have a brodit with charger too, but i use it in a different way, meaning i can remove my holder and unplug it without unplugging my charger. ( near my holder i have a small connector that i can unplug).

What i did is cutting the cable from the charger and i did put a male usb port on it ( regular male usb port) and i have a Belkin charger with a usb port, this charger deliver 1A charging current and charge my phone even when i use my navigation. ( with bluetooth and gps on).

Your phones micro-usb seems to be fine too because it charge with other brands of chargers.

Your BMW delivers enough power i guess at your cigarette lighter plug, because it doesn't charge at the Toyota either and both not delivering enough power would be coincidence.

Anyway mine works perfect the way i did it and if i can remember it worked too with my original plug attached too. ( though the original one doesn't provide enough power sometimes to keep it charged while using navigation).

The only thing i can think of is that there is some stress-pressure on your connection between phone and holder connection and that one pin isn't connected properly, with the universal charger you only plug the micro-usb plug in your phone and the micro-usb plug can adjust freely to your phones micro-usb port.

Try to wiggle a bit with your phone when in the holder and see if the power comes on. Or try to connect a little device on your holders micro-usb port ( if you have something small that charge over micro-usb) and see if that works.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LazyPawn:
Thank you for your answer.

In the meantime I did something else. I borrowed a SG SII from a friend (so exactly the same phone as mine). It works with my Brodit - charging! So the problem seems to be related to my phone. It's still strange because I can charge my phone using any other source, including the cable it came with, a USB port on my PC or my desktop cradle.

I also read some threads where people complained about various charging issues that were solved by replacing the usb charging port, see here for example. I will try that too I guess. :D

Doesn't charge with Brodit charger

This is strange because I am having the exact same issue! I got my replacement Brodit charger today, expectantly hooked up my SG2 and....... nothing! :(

Like you it works with ever other type of charging device but not when it's in the brodit holder...Looks like I might be getting it (SG2) replaced under warranty, not impressed.

EDIT: Did some investigation. I detached the micro USB plug from where it is held in place on the brodit holder. Plugged it into my SG2 and it worked. Put it back on the holder and found that because of it's position in now only makes intermittant contact with my SG2. Unfortunately the problem is the way Brodit have mounted the USB plug on their holder, it causes the USB contacts to sit slightly too far away from the port on the SG2. If I push down on my SG2 in the holder it will make contact and start charging but their must be microns in it between good contact and none at all. Not very well designed. I might do some modification of the Brodit holder but there is precious little plastic to cut away so it will be quite a delicate operation.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wiweg:
Also my Brodit Active Holder got issues

I have the same problem with my Brodit Active Holder (bought in June 2011) and my SGS2.

Initially thought that it was a problem with the connection of the holder, but it was not.

Other products get charged correctly. :rolleyes:

Detaching the micro USB connector, and connectiong it directly on the phone did not give initial succes.

But when I tilt the connector slightly (millimeters), the phone gets charged.

I sent Brodit an email.

I will keep you updated on their response.

hello

i'm new to android and i'm interested in rooting and flashing custom roms but i need some help

i have a T-mobole G1 with :

FW version: 1.6

baseband version: 62.50SC.20.17H_2.22.23.02

kernel version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37

android-build@apa26 #19

build number: DMD64

i googled a lot on how to root and flash custom rom and i saw that i need to downgrade and then root and flash, and also i saw that some people are having trouble downgrading.. but still thats not the issue ..

my question that i couldn't find an answer to is:

when i put the DREAIMG.nbh in the sd and flash , it will flash an older version of android , but as i understood this will not affect the radio.. the question is , do i have to downgrade the radio as well or not ? will i brick the phone if i downgrade the firmware but not the radio ?

here and on the unlockr , the radio wasn't mentioned in the guides..

and as you can see in "[How-to] downgrade T-Mobile G1 from Donut (1.6) to Cupcake (1.5) and get root" on gphone, the radio version was older.. so idk..

any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobo122:
agin, the radio is not mentioned in downgrading .. the guide says downgrade from 1.6 to 1.5 then update the radio to 2.22.23.02, but i already have this (2.22.23.02) radio installed on my phone and as i understood , flashing a new FW doesn't change the radio..

my question still the same, will downgrading the FW version to 1.5 , without downgrading the radio, brick my phone ? should i downgrade the radio as well or there is no relationship between the radio version and the FW version ?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
yes you have firmware 1.6 and you need to downgrade to 1.5 in order to root the device!! trust me i promise you that is what you are trying to do!! in that guide you get radio 2.22.23.02 again after rooting so you can install the danger spl withouth bricking!! than you can upgrade to the latest radio after danger spl is flashed!!

what i understand from what you are telling me is that flashing 1.5 fw will downgrade the radio

is that correct ? cuz thats what confusing me since the beginning! i don't know if downgrading the fw will downgrade the radio too or not (and if not, idk if my phone will get bricked if i don't downgrade it too)

thanks

Method 1:

ANDROOT

+

Rom Manger

+

install a custom recovery via rom manger

+

install 1.33.2003 (link to 1.33.2003 is on the 2708+ kernel/radio thread) [this only works on t-mobile dreams; rogers or other dreams with 3.xx radio this will cause a brick]

+

follow instrucitons on 2708+ thread to install the new radio and rom;

Method 2:

make gold card

+

put orange NBH on gold card as DREAIMG.nbh [link on 2708+ thread]

+

flash orange NBH

+

follow instructions on 2708+ thread to install the new radio and rom

No downgrade needed. No need for ancient radio, no need to get stuck needing to use and old telnet hack, and no need to blindly install danger (aka death) spl

(and of a small note: nbh files contain a radio that is flashed.. but since its flashed from the bootloader; also flashes the SPL and rom/recovery; and will not force you to boot into recovery.. it usually dosn't cause bricks.. unless you have other hardware problems)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Downgrading a ROM from 1.6 to 1.5 will not cause a brick. You may create a brick, when you flash a non compatible SPL / radio using recovery.

As long as your SPL is compatible to your radio everything will be fine. If you want to be sure that you won't create a brick, you want to flash SPL and radio images only by using fastboot.

Edit: Follow Terry's instructions. He was faster than me and his instructions are much more detailed.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
when downgrading to 1.5 you flash the DREAIMG.nbh first which brings your device to fw 1.0 and yes it downgrades your radio also!! to

radio- 1.22.12.29

hboot- 0.95.0000

than when you flash the update.zip it updates you to fw 1.5

radio- 2.22.19.26I

hboot- 0.95.0000

than you go to market download 'oi file manager' so you can flash recovery and that is how to root your device (Step 1.)

than step 2. upgrades your radio and hboot and installs danger spl

radio- 2.22.23.02

hboot- 1.33.2005

than from there you follow to step 3. and upgrade to latest radio and hboot

radio- 2.22.28.25

hboot- 1.33.0013d

than you are free to flash rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
There is no need to install DangerSPL! If you would like to install an engineering SPL, use 1.33.2003(!), otherwise follow Terry's instructions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
you need the danger spl to upgrade to latest radio(2.22.28.25) via recovery.. if youdont have it a warning will pop up while flashing radio file
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Makes no sense ... if you have an engineering SPL you can flash the radio using fastboot without any risk, so why would you flash it using recovery?
