That is fine, if you want it that way. But it should be an option -- I want to turn it off as it thoroughly ruins my browsing experience, but there seems to be no way of doing so. Which is annoying to say the least.
[Galaxy S II General] almorsol:
Mae que genial!

Crei que era el unico tico en este foro. Vieras que yo tengo la misma bronca.

Lo que hice fue disable el FAst Dormancy.

Parece estar sirviendo. Igual con el ICE, no se puede hacer mucho que digamos...

Donde va a cambiar su cel? Donde lo compro que puede cambiarlo?

Salaudos desde Heredia :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] jpraider75:
Hi, I´m also from Costa Rica, i had this exact same problem, signal would just drop, could not see the phone network, i thought i had a bad phone, then I disabled fast dormancy and disabled HSPA, so that only the 3G logo stayed when using mobile data. In Costa Rica the 3g speed´s are low so disabling HSPA was no problem for me. I have no problems anymore with the signal dropping.

To Disable HSPA

Go to the phone dialer pad and enter this code: *#301279#

Click [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION

Click [1] RELEASE 99 (HSPA OFF)

I´m on stock KE2, not rooted yet

Saludos TIcos! jaja
[Galaxy S II General] almorsol:
Ok, to keep it in English.

So I need to enter that code: *#301279#

Then which of the 2 options should I press? The 2 or the 1?

I'll try this just in case disabling Fast Dormancy doesn't work.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] jpraider75:
You press 2 first ....then it takes you to another menu, then press option 1

jaja q nivel varios ticos de la nada xDD , maes no al chile ya trate de todo y nada! , eso de deshabilitar el hspa desde el menu no me "funco" , ya probe varios metodos y nada , incluso cambie mi sim por uno nuevo y hasta me compre un chip prepago tuyo para probar.. pero nada!! , yo el mio lo compre x Expansys , creo q manana lo voy a devolver xq di nada q ver la vara...

Ok , Tomorrow I will send my sgs2 to repair.. Im hoping to get a fully functional phone again :) , btw I think there are just only few phones suffering this right? , I guess its not a problem in all the sgs2 phone over all the world xD

"cheers"
[Galaxy S II General] almorsol:
Di si, mala nota.

Mine seems to be working just by disabling fast dormancy.

By the way dude. If my phone has 1 year warranty, where in Costa Rica could I take it for revision?

Thanks

MAE!!!! al parecer la red del ice con el internet esta fallando!!!! Yo hoy en la tarde fui a dejar mi cel para enviarlo a estados!! , pero otros amigos y mi novia q tienen android dicen q se les va el internet!!! , no se que hacer!! al parecer si es un problema de red xq estoy usando mi captivate de nuevo y tambien le pasa lo mismo!!! pele el ojo..

It seems that my problem is related with the network... Me and other friends are also facing it (other android phones.. xperia x10 , cappy) !!! , Its weird becuase its the first time its happening!!

No.

The problem is with all sgs2.

Some people just don't realise it.

I've got the same problem in UK.

I like Litening Rom but asking for someone's opinion will get you subjective results. Just try them all. You'll become a flashahlic and it will be hard to go long without trying them all. Then when new versions come out, try those and so on and so on. Once you're hooked it won't stop lol

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
the best in terms of battery life ROM is the ROM after installing which you manage to configure the phone in the most optimal way.

Unless there is a glaring omission in some ROM, they are all pretty close to each other in terms of battery life, and your batt life will depend on how much bloatware you install in that ROM and how many services you enable. :)

I'm trying to Root my Samsung Tab 10.1 and I'm stuck at a step in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574

Section 2 step 14.

I cant get my computer to install the unsigned USB driver.

When I browse I can see it, chooses it, but it wont install.

Instructions say just bypass the errors but I don't even get those.

It just stops the install and gives me nothing.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
Try running the attached utility and remove any Samsung references or references to any other no longer needed usb devices. Then reinstall the Samsung drivers. That's what worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] katlimaal:
I installed it on my PC (win7 64bit) yesterday following the same instructions and it loaded fine.

In your Device manager do you see the device as "APX device" with questionmark.

One more thing, try uninstalling the previos one and then reboot the PC and start again.

I used Samsung Kies and it installed the USB drivers.

Do you mean to uninstall APX or the NVIDIA Boot Driver?

I don't think 32/64 bit matters.

Yes, uninstall the APX (Nvidia recovery boot driver) and then press the buttons again on Gtab to enter APX mode and connect to PC and reinstall.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Hey guys I have a few questions about the 3.0 sense roms out there.

What are your guys experiences with these roms? Are they stable? Is 3.0 too much for the Inspire? And is it worth it? And if you would recommend a sense 3.0 rom, which one would it be?

Thank you for your answers :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickel Dime Bay:
I've only tried Virtuous Unity so i cant speak on Kingdom. I think it was pretty stable, not a whole lot of lag except the 3D effect when switching homescreens was a little bit laggy but nothing that would make you notice (i did) but all in all it is great. Try one of them out you'll love it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dtorrez1883:
I've been on Virtuous Unity since 1.25 was released and haven't had any problems at all. I'm new to android and have only flashed 3 roms on my Inspire but from what I've read VU might be the best Sense 3.O rom for the Inspire. The extras you get like the lockscreen controls and built in task manager are pretty good and I use them often. Also VU 1.26 was just released earlier today which should improve an already great rom. Give it a try for yourself and see how you like it but I think you will love it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
I've used RCMix3D the last few days, and it works flawlessly. The weather sound effects are annoying as hell, but I think you can remove them. I haven't had any lag on that ROM at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Thanks for the responses guys. I'm about to root for the first time ever, and I was really looking forward to having the very cool sense 3.0 on my phone. One more question, is general call quality, sms, and gps pretty solid on these roms?
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
I just rooted a few days ago and instantly flashed the RCMix3D ROM. All of those things are flawless on that one, but there is an audio fix on that thread if you need it. Takes about 10 seconds to flash it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Cool sounds great, off to read the how-to's I guess lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Lol almost forgot, is battery good with these roms as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Good luck! When I did it, it took me about 4 hours, plus flashing the ROM. I had some issues with flashing first off, but it was only cause I didn't do a full wipe. Make sure you do that if your ROM requires it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
How can I make sure I do a full wipe? Will it ask me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Put this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868720

And your ROM on your SD card. Make sure you backup your stuff, or just make a list of your apps, and then when you are done rooting, download ROM Manager. Go to "install ROM from SD card", and there will be an option to browse your SD card for the ROM. Browse to the full wipe zip file first, run it, and THEN flash your ROM. That's what I did, and it worked after the second try. If it gets stuck at all, what I did was remove the battery and hold down the bottom volume rocker while booting, then just use CWM to flash back to a backup or ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Does the Rom you mentioned come with Google navigation? The app with the blue arrow icon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Yup, sure does. Used it yesterday.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dtorrez1883:
There's a setting to disable the sound effects in weather.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Thank god. They sound distorted, too.

[HTC Inspire 4G] shermanshen:
I've used rcmix and am currently on virtuous unity. Both are awesome, no issues with stability or anything like that and both have been smooth and fast. My battery life when the phone is idle is great, maybe 1% every 90 minutes. When using the device though, battery is used up about the same as stock, maybe a little better.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Which is typically more stable and better on battery life, VU, or RC Mix? I'm using RCMix but VU looks pretty sweet, if not very similar :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Also a question concerning radios. When rooting will I need a special radio for these roms? I know nothing about radios, the hack kit mentions the stock att radio as a choice, do I need to download that or is it already on the phone and I just need to boot it up? Or do I even need to mess with the radios? After clockwork, superuser, and rom manager is installed can I just flash this rom or do I need to mess with the radio? I'm worried because it seems the radio is what will brick your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Inarius03:
CoreDroid v7 is pretty nice, but Virtuous is probably as good as it gets. Fantastic rom that you should definitely take a look at.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
I haven't had to bother with the radio on RCMix3D. I'm using the stock AT&T one, and only had to apply the audio fix. To flash a new radio you need to make sure ENG S-OFF and RADIO S-OFF have been applied. From what I've heard, it is a little more risky to flash a new radio. I wouldn't touch it unless your gps/bluetooth/wifi/phone aren't working.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dtorrez1883:
Same here. I'm using the stock updated AT&T radio with Virtuous Unity and getting great data speeds. Also call quality and gps is good too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
So I don't need to do anything concerning radios then. I just skip to the flashing rom part of the hack kit then?
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
I would, yeah. Flash the ROM, test it out for a bit, and if you need to then apply the audio fix. If your GPS/bluetooth/wifi/phone are having problems or just not working for some reason, only then would I look into another radio. I don't think you'll have a problem though, considering almost everyone on the RCMix3D ROM forum has posted that theirs works with the stock AT&T radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
You do not need ENG S- OFF to flash a radio on an Inspire. Please read the Inspire only radio thread in the Inspire Dev section before attempting to change your radio.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Are you sure? I've read that you do in a few places, both on here and other sites. Still a good idea to read the thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yes, biglittlegato is correct. You only need S-OFF to flash a radio via the bootloader/PD98IMG.zip method.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Sweet, good to know!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Att.Fan1982:
1+ same setup on my inspire & I think this virtuous unity rom is a keeper for me.......at least for while until i get my flashing itch again :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lamebmx:
at the beginning of the RCMix 3D page is a video about how to manually wipe. one of those wiping flashable .zip's work well with rcmix. good news if you learn how to wipe properly, you dont need to keep up with an extra program though versions etc.

audio sounding like your in a tin can is common with desire based roms on the inspire. there is a flashable .zip out there by turbonix that takes care of it.

use the backup option in rom manager to back everything up and you can play with roms to your hearts content.

i dont think sense 3.0 in itself is all that. the weather update is great, the eye candy aspect of having your home screen stay flat when you tilt the phone is pretty slick. the spinning rosie is nice eye candy too. but some roms out there are mix's with sense 2.1 and some of the functions of sense 3.0. read up. the only thing that really keeps me tied to sense 3.0, is not getting stopped at the end of the home screens, its nice to just keep going past the left one and wind up at the far right one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
I feel the same way. I was excited when I watched the Engadget review on the Sensation which showed Sense 3.0, but that quickly died when I realized they are adding all eye candy, and very few actual useful features. Probably the best part of 3.0 is the lockscreens, if you ask me. Also one of the only useful ones hah.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
I'm about to root for the first time and upon reading the root guide it says that I need these HTC Android drivers because the HTC Sync ones are unreliable. I have HTC Sync and have used the SWM. Do I still need to use these other drivers? If so how do I install them? The .zip provides no instructions on where to place the files I've downloaded. Any help will be appreciated.

[HTC Inspire 4G] dtorrez1883:
Which method are you using to root? I used Bubby's simple root and did exactly as the instructions said. Installed HTC Sync and let everything install once its done go back and uninstall HTC Sync and it will leave the drivers that you need to root installed. If it helps any I was able to root my Inspire on the very first try using Bubby's method. I just went along with the video tutorial posted in his thread and paused and rewinded where I needed to. It's really not hard at all if you read and just take your time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Check your messages, but I basically said the same thing as the person above me. Watch the video I sent and use it as a guide. Just take your time. It took me a total of 5 hours to do it, including flashing my ROM. I was up until 6AM haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crip:
Yessssssss hours of fun,,, rcmix is sweet...
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
ive been running unity for a few days

honestly i love the weather and lockscreen, but thats it. i dont like animation to the home screen after unlocking it, and i dont like the changes in sms, email, or news app.

ill give it a few more days but i think ill be looking to try another sense 2 rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff on Sense 3.0 is completely useless. Sure, it looks nice, but that's about as far as it goes. The lockscreen is really the best part hah.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
I guess it really is personal preference. The lock screen is the first thing I got rid of.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eatbrains:
I was using the TPC modified stock rom since I rooted my Inspire 4G, and finally decided to try out something different and went with Virtuous Unity. I'm impressed. Sense 3.0 may primarily be eye candy improvements, but this ROM is fast!! Everything is so snappy and the battery life seems to be improved (although I have to admit, I haven't fully tested this part yet). I also like the fact that I can take screen-shots easily now. I had shoot me before, but it always messed up auto-rotate, so I didn't use it often. Now power + home drops a screen capture in my photo album. It's a little thing that I always missed from my iphone days.

The only thing I had trouble with is GPS wouldn't lock after I flashed the rom. (not common from what I gather) I flashed the latest AT&T OTA radio update and it's associated RIL file and that all seems to be working fine now. I'm not sure if the RIL file is part of the ROM, or not. I had the stock AT&T radio but when I checked, I had an RIL with a much higher revision number.

Jumped back to the RIL recommended in this thread and it all started playing nice again: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324
[HTC Inspire 4G] popupstoppa:
I also tried virtuous unity but didn't stick with it. I didn't like that it rotates between screens and most of it is just eye candy...

I tried RC mix and hated it, the intro... the screen was blurry, and then the audio was tinny (yes I'm aware of the fix, but I feel you shouldn't have to apply a fix, it should just work).

So I went with CoreDroid and couldn't be happier.

Might have to try out VU.

Just about every sense 3 rom I have tried had something that I couldn't live with. Best I have tried was the Virtuous Unity ver 1.25. It was smooth and beautiful but it was missing the voice dialing over bluetooth. I eventually went back to my tried and true, Inspired Ace 1.01 and installed the sense 3.0 three in one from Leedroid and now everything is as should be. :):):)
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Got my phone last Wed, and until 5 minutes ago it had been flawless.

Was sitting on the desk next to me, and spontaneously lit up, vibrated, and rebooted.

Everything seems to be fine, but was a bit strange.

Anyone else seen this?
[HTC Sensation] 30Glock:
I see it when using the music player
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
I've had this quite a bit, twice during phone calls too. Once it gets regular I do a factory reset and it sorts it for a few days. I'm also getting the capacitive buttons not responding but a reboot sorts it. I'm tempted to send it for repair but half of me thinks its just buggy release firmware.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
The odd thing is I wasn't using it at all, and nothing was running. It was just sitting there with a dark screen and all of a sudden the boot screen came on.

If we were seeing lots of posts like yours I'd agree it's probably a common problem, but in your case I'd swap the phone. I'll definitely be monitoring closely.
[HTC Sensation] kidem:
Mine has rebooted twice in week and a half of owning, and also sense crashes about once a day, i go to unlock and its the HTC white screen the sense comes up loading....
[HTC Sensation] RonRodex:
I also have problem with restarting/reloading. However, it is a bit different situation. I get white screen and sense UI (and maybe everything else I didn't check yet) reloads. By my observations, it happens after I do stuff on a phone for a very long time (1 to 3 hrs). After such extensive use phone becomes even hot to the touch at the bottom of the screen. Then all of the sudden when I exit some program to go back to sense UI I get white screen and sense UI reloads.
[HTC Sensation] kvn0077:
I had the same issue with my first two sensations. I found out tho it was because of the 16GB SD that I was using from my MyTouch 4G. Once I reformatted the card inside of the sensation it never rebooted again.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
oh really? i may try this.
[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
Coming from the LG G2x and leaving with reboots as one of my main issues, this is extremely disheartening news!!! I hope HTC releases a firmware update soon as the G2x was pretty obvious that it was a hardware issue since the Optimus 2X STILL suffers from the issue with no word from LG about a fix coming. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Sounds to me like there's more than one cause of reboots. I'm using the stock SD and my phone doesn't get warm. I haven't seen Sense restart and I wasn't using it when it rebooted.

I have ordered a 16Gb SD though so appreciate the tip.

It's good to keep this thread going. I'll update with any new developments.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I've had 4 Sensations and my wife has 1. Not one has rebooted or had Sense restart/reboot. Might be a certain couple of apps causing it.
