Similar Problem

I have a Galaxy S GT-I9000 running Darky's ROM 10.2 EE also.

Whilst at home I can connect Wi-Fi to my home router and whilst using the internet the Notification Bar icon turns from Grey to Green as I use the internet.

On the train yesterday I connected to the free Wi-Fi, phone showed me as connected but the icons remained grey and I could not use the internet.

I have checked all my settings several times without finding the problem.

Truly annoying and I am NOT flashing again!

If I find Darky's ROM is the problem then I will change to another ROM or go back to Stock and stay well away from Darky's ROM.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Rhinestone:
Hi there,

I had been umming and arring about rooting and installing a new ROM one of my familys HTC Heroes for some time now and finally after reading lots of "How to's" on lots of different forums I decided to take the plunge and give it a go using the guide on here.

Both my wifes phone and my sons phone are sim unlocked Orange HTC Heros running 2.1-Update 1.

Rooting it was easy. One press of a button and I was there. Its pretty much worked OK and I have sucessfully made three backups of the wifes Hero.

My main query and this is the bit I have not really been able to find much info about despite spending a day trawling through the forums looking for similar queries is this:

Having flashed my recovery image file, the first time I reboot I can get into the recovery mode just fine. From here I can make a backup of the current ROM after which the Hero reboots and goes back into the OS as it should.

If I then shut it down and reboot using the HOME key + POWER option It does not go into the recovery mode. I get the screen with an image of the phone next to a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

Using the advice from various forums whilst searching for further advice / hints I have left the phone for up to half an hour but it stays on this screen. The only way to get it out of this screen it to pull the battery.

If I then boot up the phone and reflash the recovery image, I can then get into the recovery mode once again but for ONE BOOT ONLY.

I have tried AmonRA Revcovery v1.7.01. and also the Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.7 images and both produce the same results. I have tried flashing the images via ROM Manager and also via Android Terminal Emulator

My question is this: Do I have to flash the recovery image EVERY time I want to open the recovery mode or is there something I have missed? At present I have held back from installing a new ROM in case I go past a point of no return where I brick the phone. Neither my wife or son would be too pleased despite my son wanting a better ROM on his. :)

Apologies for writing "War and Peace" but I wanted to make sure I had covered all I could and hope this is a) not a query already posted elswhere which I have missed b)posted in the right place. Apologies to any forum mods if its not.

Regards

Rhinestone.

hmm look on the unlokr.com or something like that. They use some simple passes and it's the way i did it. the on;y difference is that my phone wasn't blocked on a carrier...

1.there is a program that roots the hero's rom

2.after that i recommend installing clockwork recovery mode (it doesn't need signed zips)

3.if you don't feel safe doing this, i recommend to stop... I know that the 2.1 rom is boring but you can end up with a bricked phone after this...:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheReverend210:
The official 2.1 update has a script that reflashes the stock recovery every time the phone is shut down.

Hunt about for a modified 2.1 rom, all of them have had that script removed. I'm not a huge fan of sense now, but when I did use it, I found villainrom to be a good 2.1 sense rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] seshmaru:
This, just flash a custom ROM and it will stick.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sunilromy:
Hello,

Problem might be with rooting, possible it has not been rooted completely or anything messed up. You can try this for rooting.

http://unrevoked.com/

If you are sure its rooted completely, then check out Superuser apps, if its there, and you are rooted, if not then download terminal emulator and type "su" command, if its doesnt display any error then its rooted.

Other then this,

problem might be with the recovery images you are flashing, download droid explorer its a window application, its has an option of flashing recovery with one click, simply choose recovery image & flash it, clockmod recovery or amonr any of this you can get in xda.
[Galaxy S II General] Cofalik:
Hi.

I'm new to forums, so hello. I hope I won't make you nervous with my thread :).

So, I have doubts on buying an SGS2. At first I was "wow'ed", then I read all reviews and watched all videos and I was "wow'ed" even more. But after reading forums I got totally disappointed, beacause SGS2 seems deeply flawed.

I know there are single threads for each problem, but getting through tens or hundreds of "me too" posts is a bit troubling, so I'd like to gather or problems, which are happening on all or at least many SGS2, on one list and ask if they got repaired or is there any view on them being repaired. Also I'd like to ask SGS2 users, who suffer from those problems, if they are really troubling and if they would buy SGS2 knowing 'bout them.

So, the list is:

- yellow tinting (smudge-stain) - I've read opinions that it's just glue, AFAIR I've read opinion that it got off after some usage time. Some claim that it is repaired in newer software, however I guess its hardware issue and I don't have any idea how such issue can be repaired via software. Is it very common, or just some phones are flawed?

- not-fluent gradients - so, I know it's software-related, and its due using 16-bits and bad dithering/high contrast on SGS2 and happens not only on SGS2, but its much more visible on SGS2 display. The question is: are there any official upgrades or custom roms that address that issue? If not, are such planned?

- pink spot on photos - common for many many phones, but we know it can be greatly corrected by software update. Are there any good software upgrades / custom photo apps to address this issue?

- darker left side of screen - just read about it recently... is it common? can it be addressed by software/firmware upgrade?

- random power offs - I've heard that many users complain about their phones going off randomly. Some said it's just matter of dust or dirt... Is there anyone who's phone is power-offing randomly and don't know why?

- high temperature - seems a problem too, due to slickness of SGS2. My question is, if it's really that troubling and if it can cause some defects after longer usage?

I know there are more problems, but they are not that common and can be solved by "return to a shop" method ;). So I don't list them here.

Once again - sorry for duplicating many posts. I hope that this thread will be useful for other people, who have doubts on buying SGS2 because of those problems.

You know. I agree on paying much for phone, but I demand flawless work. And I rage over every little issue when I expect something to be near-perfect... So... If you could help me to decide whether I want SGS2 or I don't, I'd be glad and thankfull (otherwise, just close/delete the thread ;)).

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Op please please please understand people who tend to post in general section are usually ones with problems. Those are the threads u see with 10000s of post. Usually the there's very few having those problems in those threads.

Stop and think about it, if this phone was sold defective how could it reach 6million sold. Wouldn't the tech sites be all over it if this phone was faulty.

6million vs 30users on xda and who knows what they did to there phones.
[Galaxy S II General] dexteral:
check out this video and let me kmow if you see any problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LNL56Aae08

have had sgs2 for 2 months now have not faced a single problem
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
- Yellow tint is haaardly noticeable. You really have to be careful on a gray screen with low brightness to eventually notice it. It's not a problem at all.

- Pink spot ? I never had this issue, and I still haven't. But as stated, it's fixed in a software update, if needed.

- I haven't noticed any darker side (might be related to the yellow tint, so same reason)

- Random power offs: Haven't got any shutdown or reboot, even with custom ROMs.

- About heat problem, I got it sometimes a bit hot, but nothing preventing me from using it, or holding it.

So definately issues are not a big deal compared to the wonderfulness this phone is.
[Galaxy S II General] Coinz:
Really ? so my SG2 is just one of the fews that has yellow tint, pink spot, leaked light on home button, random high temperature issues ? so should i demand samsung to replace my SG2 ?
[Galaxy S II General] carlitos66:
So I must be one of the 30 unhappy XDA people who post their problems, right?

Yes I have pink spot and the phone sometimes gets really hot, that's the two pissues I have but they don"t really bother as much as THE VOLUME of the in ear speaker and headphone volume output is very very low compare to any other phone I own (owned).

I have 4 friends who have SGS 2 and all of them complain about somehow low volume or muted sound, so I am sure it's not just me. (please don't post about using volume + or re setting the values by Samsung secret codes - tried all that, it doesn't work)

So if Samsung adress this issue with their next update I will be very happy.
[Galaxy S II General] Cofalik:
Well, if that's only reason I guess I'll give it a try anyway ;).

Guys, thanks for posts, but lets stick to original form, which is: (future) fixes for problems and if they are a big deal for ppl who has them. These are all common problems (some are typical of all SGS2s) so there is no use in just saying that you have them or arguing on how common they are. I don't read XDA only, also other (not-english-language) forums, so these are based not only on XDA (tbh, they are based mainly on other sources).

Please, I wouldn't like this turn into flamewar.

EDIT

Hard to tell - the video quality is not really great.

[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Yellow Tint Issue:

Its there on a lot of phones, A lot of people say this is a non issue because they cant see it on their phones ( or they have visual impairment ), they also fail to understand that the issue affects each phone very differently, with my personal experience of 30+ phones only 6 (AFAIK) had extremely minimal yellow tint.

My phone has a yellow tint, after knowing the 2.3.4 removes the tint I've stopped the replacement request already as it is pointless. It maybe a non issue to you or to the other 5,999,999 buyers but its there.

Gradient issue:

Some say its a rendering limitation on the GPU it self, others say it can be corrected at a kernel level by putting the render mode to 24bit.

Pink spots:

Software issue, I dont think samsung has any intentions to fix this, since this is a common norm with modern day cameras on mobile phones, this is a non issue for me.

Darker left side of the screen:

A lot of phones or maybe even all phones suffer from this issue from 0 to 20% brightness, at 30% it even outs a tiny bit, at 50% its non existent anymore.. My Galaxy S never had this issue even at 0% brightness, a non issue to me.

Random Power offs:

Never experienced it actually but I know a friend who had this issue got this unit replaced.

High temperature:

Different phones give off different heat profiles, I've been playing a lot of HD games on my phone and Its barely even warmer than playing Angry birds, on my friend's phone his heats up pretty good but not to the point that its alarming.

Despite all of these issues, I still love the phone. What bothers me the most is the screen issue though, none of these were on the Galaxy S and with the Galaxy S2 the general public has accepted these issue to be normal ( which baffles me ). Just dont let the people who wanna run statistics in your face tell you different.

Theres no fix yet and I really doubt samsung will which such a small camera issue, its practically not there if you dont look for it.

If you wanna know about this then take a picture of a white sheet of paper under automatic white balance you should be able to see it even on the viewfinder mode.

I honestly believe that there are more than 30 ppl in XDA having issues with the phone that includes random shut-off, overheating, camera issues, screen issues and battery life issues. But I guess those people who got unlucky with their phones are people who dont know how to use it right since the other 6M buyers didnt have issues at all. Issues are always a minority else the phone would never even hit mass production.. Even the GPS issues on the Galaxy S which was covered by techsites, they were a minority but that doesnt mean their issues are invalid/unrealistic/made up.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Stop *****ing around. It's a nice phone, if you like it buy it.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
I dont think the OP is *****ing at anything, I believe he is asking for opinions from different users on what they think about the issue and their experiences with it. It actually pays to read the first post. :)
[Galaxy S II General] drasifriaz:
OP is *****ing
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
If he's thinking about getting a phone of this caliber, he chose it because of other features, which are far more significant then a "darker left side". I don't blame the OP, I read a LOT before buying it, because it's an expensive phone; but what's the point of asking all these? Some people have it, and they complained, some don't, they didn't... so at most you will get some random answers depending on your luck and which people reply to your thread. If I'd say yes my phone has a yellowish tint, would he not buy it anymore? Is this so decisive?

There are ****loads of threads which already discussed it; reading them all is lots of work, but asking this has the same results as you would open a thread like that and read 10 posts randomly, you just take a small sample and reassure yourself that it's a good phone, or the opposite.

Okay OP, let me tell you, this phone is the BEST you will ever get. I don't have any of the problems you said, expect the pink spot, which I never noticed until someone pointed it out. I know other people who have it and they don't have the problems either. Take my words, go and buy it now, it's awesome. ;) Weee.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
You sound like your the one *****ing :p
[Galaxy S II General] Cofalik:
You know this thread wasn't meant to be about existance of flaws (which exist) but primarly about if there is a fix for them or if the fix is coming. Maybe I stated it wrong in original post (now as I read it, maybe that is the case).

EDIT: I am getting SGS2 later this week or the next week for 99%. I'll just check at the store if the yellow thing isn't a dealbreaker. If no, I'll get it. Of course any feedback on main topic (which is (upcoming) fixes) is welcome!
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
Cofalik, any normal person researching the SGS2 will get scared after reading the threads here. I've got the pink circle and yellow tinting, but the problems can be fixed/improved with software. Besides, they are difficult to detect (when not specifically looking for them) and only show up in certain conditions. I never had any heating problems or random reboots.

The phone is fanstastic. I think you're gonna love it.

However, if you don't, please blame someone else. :D

CM7 is the most stripped down rom I have used.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
You cant really strip the browser from the rom. Well, you can remove the apk, but android has a lot of the webkit framework tied into it for other applications, so the browser apk is just a small portion of the entire webkit framework that many things depend on (things such as the xda app, netflix, etc).

Anyways, the default browser on non sense roms is more usable anyways, though it's still my secondary browser most of the time, but it doesnt lag like the sense one does.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
I really CAN strip the browser from the rom....Been doing it for months, never broke a thing.

I prefer to use Th3oryRom's base, then go in with titanium and delete system apps (browser, sms, email, live wallpapers, widgets, other stuff). CM7 and OMFGB work well as a clean-ish base too, but I get much better performance out of Th3ory's stuff. clear cache/dalvik, and you're good to go.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phooky:
this is true.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
never said you couldnt remove the browser apk. I just said you cant remove the webkit libraries, which are technically larger than the apk is. :rolleyes:
