A week ago I bought SGS2. Since Android was 2.3.3, I asked to upgrade to 2.3.4. Juice Defender mounted yesterday and accidentally in the log file I noticed that the rom does not support 3G networks:(. Have connected to the Internet and in fact I only have EDGE network. I have installed XXKG1 rom. Does anyone have any idea ...?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Wrong settings for network as its not an official update .

Enter your networks settings manually .

[Galaxy S II General] yldlj:
I had same problem. Install your original baseband/modem. Worked for me
[Galaxy S II General] bronisb:
Thank you for your reply.

How can I check what is my original baseband/modem?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
From your original firmware its the baseband number .

Well i did s-off my device first and then i did flash the original RUU roms and boot in to bootloader and shocked to find that s-off is still there.... so for whoever asking if flashing the original HTC rom will it s-on back well the ans is no ?
[HTC Sensation] mczhu:
I assume s-off would stay permanently, just the original rom should no longer be rooted.
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
yeah so you have to manually flash the su zip file and clockwork mod recovery file... such a pain in the arse lol...

If you have to ask, you have no business flashing your phone.

Step 1. stop looking for things to be given to you a silver platter

This morning I used my sister's Samsung Champ's charger to charge my Galaxy 5. I didn't keep it in for long (20 - 30 min) but when I removed it, the battery started showing low charge warnings; I tried charging with my laptop using the cable that came with the phone and it showed 70% charged immidately, but when I removed it, it showed <14% warning again.

I tried to drain the battery completely and then recharge it, but the battery is still draining fast. Please help, the phone is only 2 months old... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
Did you do a full charge?

I don't see why using other chargers effect your phone, I always use blackberry chargers and have no problem, try charging to 100%, draining to 0% a few times, see if it helps
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] CurtisAndroid5:
It might have nothing to do with using the wrong charger, you might just have the signal glitch where your phone is constantly searching for signal when it already has it, my phone started to do it recently, to check if this is the issue go to Settings, Phone Info, Battery Useage, Signal, then if it says something like Time without signal 50% then that is the issue.

Try this;

Unplug your phone

Turn Airplane Mode on for about 10 seconds

Turn Airplane Mode off

Restart phone.

That fixed my battery life- it was going for 80% battery to 10% in under 5 minutes.

If that app really is a virus then it's very nasty :O

I recon you hard reset your whole phone. Backup your contacts, maybe sms, but not your apps of course, and simply reset your device =/.

This is an example of the ineffectiveness of todays antiviruses for android. They can detect, generally too late, but can't fix anything... Not much of an proper antivirus around for the time being, it's just fancy apps that don't do much and reassure people...

I'm just on my 5th try to factory reset the phone and using my google account without htc sense, hopefully it does not restore the trojan again, if it does, htc support has one week to fix it or the product is sent back to the seller, I should do this anyway, there much better phones.

Does not work, google is restoring the phone now, despite explicitly disabled sync settings.

What a crap!

HTC cannot fix that, problem with google, I'll try without setting up Google account access and using only googlemail par IMAP/SMTP access to get rid of the stored android phone sync data on google account.
[General Questions and Answers] NikolaiT:
Seems your trojan is re-enabling those settings somehow, and a factory reset only wipes /data, therefore, the trojan must be in /system, which would only be possible if the device is rooted, try typing "su" in terminal emulator, or check if / is r/w in root explorer, if either of those are right, then your device is rooted, and you should install a custom recovery and wipe everything except /boot. (Note: make sure to have a ROM (should be .zip) on the root of you sdcard to flash after you wipe everything, otherwise, the device will not boot)
[General Questions and Answers] woprr:
1. I've said I do not want root. rooting voids warranty, I've paid HTC and google to manage the Product for me.

2. I do not have root:

ssh htc -p 2222
$ su
su: permission denied
$ echo test > /system/test
cannot create /system/test: read-only file system
$
[General Questions and Answers] Indirect:
If you were rooted, you would learn to fix things like this and wouldn't need a warranty unless it was accidental damage and even then, you can easily unroot your device and put s-on. It's not impossible. People unroot their devices to send in for warranty all the time.

I've said I've not yet decided to keep the phone. There're better ones for little money more around. In Germany You can revoke contracts with online sellers and return within 2 weeks.
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Just return it and get something else since you don't want to root. You could root though, remove the virus, then unroot, as if you never had it touched...I don't see what use xda is if you're an unrooted user anyway, many things here require it, and i'm not trying to be rude to you.
[General Questions and Answers] woprr:
How can a virus get the privileges on android you assume it's got without root access?
[General Questions and Answers] Indirect:
The virus itself could be running an exploit to allow root privledges also, it doesn't need root to be sending texts, only just to install itself into /system. Although it could also be hiding in dalvik
[General Questions and Answers] woprr:
An exploit ^^. Scenario?

Ok, factory reset and not setup google +htc sense account in first run setup wizard should do the trick.

The Phone should be clean now.

I'm setting up google mail with the standard mua app, not the gmail app.

BTW, I've found the settings option to delete the sync data from google servers:

I'ts under Settings->Privacy->Backup and Restore->Uncheck Automatic restore (Msgbox popup warning: "...erase all copies on google servers?") but leave Back up my setting checked, if all is setup then setup google account in phone and sync.

Let's see if this works...

Looks like. But I dont know if the data on google servers got overwritten or merged.

I'will know when re-enabling automatic restore...

[HTC Inspire 4G] codyg1985:
Ever since I have rooted my Inspire I have tried many different ROMs, and the only one where the GPS locks consistently for.me has been the MIUI rom. Any other ROM either gives me a GPS lock some of the time or not at all.

I have tried many things to get.GPS to work on other ROMs. I've tried GPS status, FasterFix, clearing EFS data, editing the gps.conf file in /system/etc, and even copying the gps.conf file from MIUI to other ROMs, but nothing seems to work.

What is it about MIUI that make the gps work much better in that ROM than other ROMs? I like Sense and I don't really want to use MIUI but I miss my gps.

I should also mention that I live in the southeastern US.

Did you try reflashing your radio?

What ROMs are you have GPS problems with? You said all but MIUI, but which ones specifically?
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyg1985:
I have tried flashing different radios and RILs to see if they work per the Inspire radio thread. I will try reflashing and see if that helps.

I have used CM7.0.1, CM7.0.2, CM 7.1 RC 1, Android Revolution HD 5.1x, Inspired Ace 1.0.1, and Inspired AOSP RC1. Each version of MIUI I have tried works. I have tried 1.7.22 and 1.7.16 (I think that's the version number).

[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Do you have a case on your phone? The GPS antenna is located behind in the vicinity of the camera flash. I've seen reports that some cases interfere with GPS reception. Try taking the case off just to get a lock. Won't hurt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyg1985:
I don't have a case for my phone. I have seen threads where you take the plastic cover off the back that.surrounds the camera flash, straighten put the springs that.touch the contacts, and reapply the cover. I have not been brave enough to try that. Plus, if gps just works in MIUI bit not any other rom, then that tells me that it is a software issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Cool. Yeah I've see that hardware fix too. Luckily my GPS is functioning, particularly with AngelDeath. Weird problem only works on one ROM. Well good luck. I hate it when GPS isn't working properly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyg1985:
Which ROM does GPS work properly for you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
GPS has worked on all of them...I currently have 4 Sense based 4 ROMS on my phone now that are in my sig. I have only rolled Sense based ROMs. Every one of them have essentially worked good, and they work better with AngelDeath. My worst experience was stock back a few months ago, but just this morning I flashed a rooted/leaked AT&T GB RUU with the bloat stripped, and GPS works acceptable/good on it without AngelDeath.
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyg1985:
Which ROM did you just install? I am downloading the one that Gene Poole posted this morning to give it a whirl. Hopefully I will have better luck with that one.

I just got Honeycomb tablet and confused about new launcher. While I go the basic I still don't understand how can I place widgets and schortcuts on the edge of the screen.

[Android Apps and Games] ericcarboni:
Yes, the stock HC launcher does cut off a column on both left and right sides, which does allow you to click on either side to switch pages (which can be nice for holding in both hands) but it does cut down screen real estate.

You can use any number of launchers (ADW, Launcher Pro) that allow you the extra sides to add app shortcuts/widgets.

[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
A simple test I do not want to do myself, but I would like that any one INTENDING to go S-OFF could do for me.

I want to test a feature that I have now in S-OFF, and I want to know if the feature is present in S-ON. I do not want to test it myself, because I have only one HTC, and do not want to downgrade back to S-ON. But any one who is at the moment in S-ON, and wish to switch to S-OFF can do it for me, and can do it safely.

The feature I have found:

- run this line in linux host (or equivalent script in Windows, or just manually run adb shell):

while true ; do adb shell "uptime ; id " ; sleep 0.5 ; done

or run this command manualy, once every few seconds:

do adb shell "uptime ; id "

- in the mobile phone, activate USB debug

- see that ADB will output a few things (what is says does not matter, what matters to me is that it will give uptime and id, proving that debug mode is working)

- switch USB debug off

- run adb, see that it says device error

- unplug USB

- remove battery

- plug USB

- put battery

- orange LED lights

- orange LED stays on for 5 or 10s

- orange LED goes off

- wait 3s

- run adb: at this very moment, adb can log in the phone and run the command without error

- 2s later, whether I ran adb or not, orange led comes in again.

Basicaly, after a compleet power failure, pluging bat then USB, even what USB debug was off ... led will get orange for 10s, then off 5s, then on again for good. And in the middle of the period where led is off, i can start using adb. You can wait for the second solid light state; you will always have adb.

This happens to me on HTC Sensation after getting S-OFF using Revolutionary, and installing ClockWorkMod.

What I would like, is that one person who wish to crack into S-OFF would be:

- check if the feature is absent or present in S-ON mode

- crack to S-OFF

- check if feature is present in S-OFF after crack.

I want to know if having adb depends on S-OFF, or not. Any one who have S-ON could do the test, but for many reasons, I would like the *before-after* comparison to be done *on the same phone*.

Thanks.

When I type adb devices it states that the phone is in recovery mode.

I tried unplugging and replugging the USB and I still had adb access.

Unfortunately, it did not work when I had S-ON :(
[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
Quick reply: after putting battery in, and pluging USB cable, LED comes on, off, on ... I do *NOT* press the power button: the system does not start, no boot. I am saying that I can get ADB shell in a NOT BOOTED phone, even when USB debug was tuned OFF. After putting bat + USB, adb shell is available as soon as the led lights for the second time, about 20s after USB plug.

Not starting, not booting, not pressiong power.

I found that I had access to many things.

My point is that ... if this feature is available on S-ON phones, then *MAYBE* it could be an entry point to mount or remount /system and have fun in ... or maybe even other partitions ... maybe it's known feature. But just in case nobody ever seen this ...

Does not work on HTC G1. Works on Desire S. Both are S-OFF.

It starts working at mid time when orange LED is off (to save a few seconds); but it is safer to wait for LED to light again, or try adb repetidely until it is solid again.

But if LayZeeDK understood me correctly ... it seems to be a S-Off specific feature.

Thanks for trying.
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
This is nothing new. If I understand correctly, when the phone is off and charging it is actually powered on, in recovery mode, with nothing on screen. This is why you can get adb, at least sometimes...
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
It's just offline charging. You are in recovery with the screen off.. already posted something about this in general faq..
[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
Thank you :)

I just bought my Sensation 3d ago, and am having fun with a friend who use HTC since years. He was not aware of this, so we just did not know.

So, the feature is not due to S-OFF, but to ClockWork.

Thanks for feedback. Can close the thread if you want.
