Hi guys (and girls),

I'm going slightly mad trying to figure out a stable setup for my O2X. I have been switching between the latest CM7 nightlies, and MoDaCo FR19. In general, CM7 gives me quite frequent black screens, and FR19 seems quite stable. However, there is one issue that is present in both ROMs.

I am unable to get a stable mobile data connection when I switch from WiFi. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. To get it to work again, it sometimes works to switch to 2G only (and possibly back again). I have tried several different radios recently: 218, 606, and 622, all with the appropriate RIL. The mobile data connection for 218 drops in and out at random without any clear pattern. For the other two radios switching on or off 2G only seems to achieve stable connection. However, it does not actually seem to affect whether I get a 3G or 2G signal. The display can say H or G, even when 2G only is checked. Bluetooth did not work correctly with 606.

To top everything off, the GPS does not seem to behave consistently for a all the different radio versions.

I guess that people have different experience with different radios, so which radio are the guys in Norway using? Do I really have to slog through every released radio and spend the day checking each one of them? Can I expect to find a radio/from combination that blacks to give me a stable GPS and mobile data connectivity, as well as good WiFi?

I know this has been discussed numerous times before, but people never seem to reach any conclusions. I'm just looking for advice on how to proceed to fix my problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] eniux:
I'm on cm7 .77 and i honestly havent had a blackscreen since i flashed it (yesterday morning) + battery is good now. For me this is the most stable nightly :) so ill stick with it for 2 weeks on my holiday :))

Edit: bb .502 ril 218(i think) dont have any problems with network switching btw
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
You probably have to, yes. This sounds more like a problem with the specific coverage in your area and how the phone interacts with the cell-towers than an actual problem with the phone. You may be in an area with weak signals from several stations, you may be in an area suffering from sudden bursts of noise, there could be a lot of reasons for why this is happening.

First thing I'd try is to upgrade to the latest official firmware (10C - 0622 for Norway), just to have a baseline for comparison. In theory this firwmare (and baseband) has recently been validated by the norwegian carriers, and should have the best chance of success.

Then you should probably do a manual scan (in phone settings) for networks, and pick one manually.

Also try using the INFO menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and see if choosing a specific protocol helps.

If you're still unable to maintain a stable connection, I'd say that'd be grounds for returning the phone for a replacement.

Weak advice, I know, sometimes there just aren't any quick solutions.

[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
Thanks for your reply. Do you by any chance have a link to the firmware?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Sort of. In this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 you'll find complete ROMs of the previous versions. Install one of those with SmartFlash, then run the LG Mobile Update tool to get the latest.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
Okay, I see, downloading now. So it is good enough to use one of the smartflash files, I don't have to use nvflash?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
No, you don't have to use NVFlash. The advantage of using the smartflash method is that you get a completely "factory fresh" phone, with all the stock content present (movies, music, pre-installed apps) and you're sure to get a matching baseband and ROM.

Note that you have to flash both files, both the baseband and the ROM. The LG update tool won't update if you have a "new" baseband on an old ROM.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
So the firmwares from that post do not include the baseband? Anyway, I'm currently running baseband 405, so I guess this is sufficient to get the new update. And the new update will then overwrite everything to the latest official version, both ROM and baseband, correct?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Yes, it does. Each firmware pack comes with TWO files, the baseband and the ROM. To make sure you avoid any trouble, just flash them both, though, as you say, you can probably stay on the one you have, as yes, the LG Mobile Update tool will overwrite both the baseband and the ROM with the new versions.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
Flashing of old firmware, with subsequent upgrade to latest release for Norway is complete.

I got version V10c, with baseband 1035.21_20110622, kernel 2.6.32.9. My mobile data seems to be enabled as soon as I get mobile coverage (which admittedly is poor right where I live). Even though it pains me, I guess I should leave it as stock for a day or so to see how it behaves.

I guess rooting it shouldn't affect performance in any way?

My initial experience is that it is much more snappy than the stock firmware that the phone came with, but time will show :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Yeah, you probably should, as your mission right now is to find out whether you can get a stable mobile data connection or not.

Not to my knowledge, but I'd still advise you to wait a few days while sorting out the connection issue. Not that I think rooting it would affect that one way or another, but if you can't get it work as it is, you can return the phone in the state it is now, factory fresh.

It certainly is. It also *stays* snappy over time, which can't be said for the 10a/b versions.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
The first test drive with the new firmware has been completed. On the way out it switched to mobile data flawlessly, but a longer drive it started falling out and reappearing for only short periods. When we stopped at the destination seemed to stabilise with a 3G connection again.

For the return trip I selected use only 2G network. The network connection remained stable for the entire journey.

I will have to test more, but the conclusion seems to be that it has trouble switching between the 2G and 3G networks when moving. I will try the same trip with a Telenor SIM card, and with different combinations of enabling 2G and 3G modes.

By the way, what is the difference between forcing 2G in the regular settings menu and in the special information menu?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
The 2G only setting in the phone menu equals the "GSM only" setting in the INFO-menu. I'm far from an expert in these matters, this thread has an overview: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=675136& of what the different modes do.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
More testing seems to indicate that as long as i leave "use 2G only" check, my mobile data connection seems to be pretty stable. It even switches between 2G and 3G, although apparently a bit more conservatively.

I guess I get to keep my phone anyway ;)

Now for some rooting...
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
Just an update on the results from my testing. The second time I went out my mobile connection never appeared. This was with only 2G checked in the settings menu. In the Info menu, this corresponded to GSM only.

I then changed it to GSM auto (PRL), and then I got my intermittent mobile data again. I then change it to WCDMA preferred, and my data connection seems to be stable for now. This apparently requires much more testing...
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
F another chapter in the connectivity saga. Having WCDMA preferred selected in the Info menu, things mostly work, although the data connection drops sometimes.

Another problem I'm noticing with the stock ROM is that it usually is unable to reconnect to my home WiFi network when it comes within range. I have the money was selected to reconnect. Sometimes I even find it disabled in the list.

Hi all!

Does anyone know a Android 3.1 Honeycomb exist for the HTC Sensation? Fond an good looking one here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947902) and was wondering if someone can make this for our phone :-)

In the meantime I'll keep an eye on Google to try and find out if it already exists... Would look great on our Sensations!
[HTC Sensation] freco:
That's for Theme Chooser app which works only on Cyanogen roms. I think you have to wait a little :-)

I believe better sensation days will come as bootloader will be unlocked.
[HTC Sensation] Jason Syn:
Figured I'd bump this instead of starting my own, I'm running the Thyparancy Gingerbread theme now and would LOVE something like that for Honeycomb.
[HTC Sensation] Jacobmowry:
I'm running the cdtdroid theme that uses a lot of the same theme .pngs from the honeycomb them. Then u have a few options for a home launcher. I'm running honeycomb launcher which looks awesome if u want a honeycomb look. I made a video on you tube demostrating it. Just look up my name from here in you tube and u can see it.
[HTC Sensation] Jason Syn:
Did he come out with just a theme? The only thing I've seen in the full ROM which I don't really want.

Hi,

Does anybody know a book reader program that allows to translate selected text by means of external applications? There was such an application for wm (Alreader), but it seems that it isn't going to be ported onto wp7.

If there are no such a reader, I would be really appreciated if someone could point out a reader that allows to select words and copy them to the clipboard.

Thanks in advance.

I found what is probably (in my opinion) the best TPU case available for the Galaxy S / S 4G:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040IZ1B6

It is made of sturdy TPU material (not the cheap and soft gel material) and fits my 4G like a glove. It also has a semi-transparent bottom, so the Galaxy S logo can be seen. The sides are black. It covers the buttons, but it is still easy to operate them through the rubber material. Great case.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It's pretty good, it scratches and loses its shiny look, but not that much. Also the volume + power keys are hard to press and you won't be able to plug in earphones that don't have the thin connector (like the ones that came with the phone_)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
Just got mine in the mail this morning. Love it so far. Head phones fit easily, the buttons push easy enough too. Nice find!

Also...for those of you that wanted to cover up the chrome bezel of the phone, this case will cover it nicely and give you the full black look. The semi-clear back is nice since it shows the gray back of the phone and the galaxy s logo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
its a nice case but arent cases like that hard as hell to get off?

i got the trident cyclops case for the sgs4g an so far i am lovin it

Make a backup of the AP widget (just in case)

Then uninstall it. (Using Titanium)

[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Or, you could just go in to its settings and disable auto-update.

If you have ATK Pro then why bother? It will make sure that it isn't running unless you put it in Ignore List. Besides, with TB free version it should work to uninstall it, but to freeze it you need the Pro version.

Doesnt matter how low it is, if I dont use it I dont want to see any trace of it and I was frequently seeing it appear as a running process despite not using it, and having auto update disabled.

Binned it, along with lots of other non essential crapware that I never used but was always running (Social Hub, system update etc etc..)
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
That's like asking the meaning of life. I wish I could help you but like most battery life discussions each phone is so individual it's really hard to troubleshoot or give advice. I'm stock unrooted on KF3 if that helps at all. I also don't use process monitors/killers, battery analyzers, and other invasive stuff because I've found that many times they create the problem they're trying to solve.

Try it the following way, it worked perfectfor my sister´s phone with SE 2.1 (because I don´t know what I did with my phone any more , and we both have an E15i :

First of all, be sure that you are using the computer where you´ve upgraded to 2.1, or download the X8-drivers somewhere (google is your friend!^^)

extract the attached SuperOneClick.

Run the SuperOneClick.exe.

Enable USB debugging on your phone, but do not connect it yet.

Click "root".

let SOC start the ADB and the other stuff.

Connect your phone when it says "waiting for device".

After a few seconds, you should have root.
