[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borris234:
hi i have a samsung galaxy s2 on three network and i have tried to go through there customer support but tbh what a load of rubbish the guy didnt understand what i was on about.

imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/screenshotal.png

the image explains what i am on about. it says i have 3 bars of signal but when i try to call or text it will say mobile network unavailable.

i am using Villain ROM 2.4.2 baseband KH3 and Kernal ninph 2.0.5

what can i do to fix this? is it a mobile problem or a network prob?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You need to ask the network if they are having problems .

Have you checked /remade your network settings ??

Could be a rom problem a modem problem a sim card problem or even a CSC problem with wrong settings .

Check settings clean sim card that does not help put your phone back to a warranty state flash stock rom and clear rom counter . Test if faulty take to a service centre .

Im on 3 also i have had a few times the same problem mate, lets say maybe 4 or 5 times, it usually happens if i lose my internet connection it still shows me having signal but cant make a call or sms. i got no answer from 3 either
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattP79:
Check the status screen. I get this and when it happens where it should say T-Mobile it says Emergency Calls Only. I figured my SIM card was at fault so wedged some paper behind it to hold it in place and the problem has almost completely stopped.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan@msx:
Rub the terminals on the sim card with a rubber to remove any static build up

Are you guys running an I-9100T from 3? All modems from any rom you install won't work with the T. You'll need your stock KF4 modem.

tried going back to kf4 still no luck its only in certain places in me house where it does it everywhere else i have 1 or 2 or none at all bars of signal
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borris234:
3 customer service rang me up told them i wanted cancel the contract bcus of it. they knocked the contract price down from £30 to £25.75 for the text 500 plan with them. bit annoyed that i can only get signal in certain places of me house but cant argue on the price as well as gettin the phone for free
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demon_man:
because 3 dont have a 2g network in the UK so if you dont have 3g coverage it will show a network signal but you cant make calls or sms
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majickal:
I'm having the same problem but with o2. I lose signal regularly at home as I live on the perimeter, but when I get signal bars back againwhen i go into town, it tells me that the network is unavailable. I have to switch off and on again to re register and then it works fine again until the next time the signal is dropped... It's annoying in the morning because i can wake up and see full signal on the phone all morning, but people are trying to contact me and not getting through because in reality, the network is not connected! I'm sure o2 have a 2g network, so I would presume it's a phone issue...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacticman:
Hi all,

I live in France using SFR network and I get the same issue here using KI3 but I had the same problem with KH3.

the behavior on the phone is network seems to be good everytime/everywhere but sometimes people who try to reach me go directly to my voicemail and I receive sms with some delays.

When network works again, I mean I don't see it but I know it because I receive a couple of sms at the same time and a call from my voicemail

it means that my phone seems to be connected to the gsm network but is not, It loose the gsm network...

If you can give me your experience.

thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BashyFR:
I've got the same issue. (tacticman), I'm also on SFR network, i had this since KH3, never before. Now i'm on KI3, it's still here.

I always use CF-Root kernel, i tried to wipe, restore old backups, it does not change anything. I also tried GS II repair tools, nothing too... :(

The only thing I found to solve (temporarly) the problem, switch to offline mode (mode Hors ligne in FR) and then disable it.

But the problem occurs very often, it's very disturbing.

My IMEI number is still here.
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
Hi guys, I though it would be a good idea to start a threat just for everyone who placed an order through Play.com UK and paid full price.

We can use this thread to keep everyone updated on the progress of their ordered, and any updates etc; whether they are able to get it at the discounted price, full refund, partial refund etc.

I ordered a 16GB this morning at 8:30am, and order was confimed at 2:44pm and sent to packing for delivery.

Price - £349
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
ordered at about 5am this morning

order confirmed at 05:57

packed at about 4pm this afternoon

16GB @ £349

Mailed them asking to cancel and advised I will source elsewhere for a much cheaper price... (I imagine its too late though)
[TouchPad General] FlexiPack:
Looks like Play.com are out of stock now. I can't find the HP touchpad 16/32gb anywhere on their site. It was there a few hours ago.
[TouchPad General] Analogue Dude:
I'm also waiting on a Touchpad from play.com which I bought at full price earlier today.

My gut instinct having dealt with Play earlier on similiar issues is that we'll all be returning our TP's for a full refund :(

Still I'm going to remain optimistic..
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
I'd recommend not cancelling your order just yet.

you'll be in a better position to negotiate with them once you have the product.

If you cancel before they despatch it, they won't lose anything, they'll just send it to someone else who was able to place an order.

Once you've got it, hopefully we'll be in a better position a few days after all this commotion, and they may be willing to refund the difference.

otherwise they have to go through the hassle or receiving product back, and then arranging to sell it on - probably at the reduced price.

I'm going to wait to see if mine actually comes through, then assess the situation then.

If they don't openly offer the refund, I'll put a complaint to them, and to the FSA.

their returns policy gives you 7 days to request the return or raise an issue - this is different to 7 days to actually return the item to them.

The complaint etc could last as long as you want, as long as you raise the issue within 7 days.

we should have a strong argument if we refer them to the fact they were aware on Monday that the supplier had significantly reduced the price, and that a large number of supplier not just in UK, but all across the world had reduced their prices to fall in line, and they are being unfair against the consumer by acting this way.

We could also quote things we can get - regarding their comments on Monday evening that they were aware of the price discount and were working on it, yet they chose to do nothing.
[TouchPad General] zoro25:
Ordered as mine was in my cart, however at time of checkout it stated not in stock.

I doubt I'll get it. however I'm also one of the wait and see's
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
There may be hope for us yet.

In the US - HP have agreed to refund customers the difference of all ordered purchased within 60 days of the price change.

HP are also 'leaning' on companies to offer the price match themselves.

So if Play.com don't crumble under the pressure over the next few days - maybe there is hope from HP directly.

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-ne...efund-price-differences-for-early-buyers/3857
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
HP apparantly informed retailers on Monday that the prices will be reduced, and requested that all retailers offer to refund the difference in the sale price.

HP also advise that it can take a few days for all retailers to act on this.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
called play.com in the end and they said it was too late to stop dispatch anyway (wanted to save myself a couple of £ in postage to be honest) - they have sent me my return code and marked it as potential return

so i still have to wait for it anyway...

but the chap I spoke to I did would they not do a price comparison, or are they even considering lowering the price but he said nope. Full refund or keep at full price basically.

@danlat1415 - do you have any of that information or anyway to process that with HP as I'll consider keeping it if thats the case! I wonder if we can ping an e-mail to HP pronto to try and get some clarification from them that we can apply for refunds if the retailer won't honour it...

If I was HP and I'd told everyone to cut the price on Monday, and found out retailers were basically ignoring them (probably to pocket the profits) I'd be a bit peeved -

out of this experience, I'll definitely not be considering Play.com for anything further apart from as a last resort...

sounds like @Analogue Dude has had a similar experience before... that's the feeling I am getting now too.
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
I'm looking into what HP are doing for UK customers and I'll keep you updated.

It's still very early, and once order are sent out and customers start complaining in large numbers - they may change their mind.

Also depends on what action HP take over the next few days.

Play.com don't want to get bad publicity, and if all other retailers are honouring the price change, it'll be bad for Play.com to try and profit from the limited stock they have - compare to the bad publicity they'll get.

I've been hunting around the net, and this isn't the only forum complaining about Play.com's decision, so strength in numbers...
[TouchPad General] Analogue Dude:
I guess the only real outside chance of getting a partial refund is if every customer who bought a TP from them returns it this week. Hopefully the logistical nightmare/expense of checking every return will push Play into offering the refunds.

As I said earlier I doubt it happens though, Play are a horrible company to do business with, I haven't used them for years and if it wasn't for this deal I wouldn't have touched them with a foot long stylus.
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
I'd recommend anyone who has ordered from Play.com to complete the form on the attached link for the BBC Watchdog program.

we may not get anywhere with it, but it's best to put as much pressure as we can on Play.com to honour the discounted price.

[TouchPad General] AdamLC:
wrong thread
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
Really hope so or HP kick their ass (which I doubt will happen)

I got the impression of a very non-caring company when I called them up - to be honest, I had a good impression of them before - but only used them a handful of times... I guess its because I never had to _deal_ with them properly before and just did an order which came and had no issues...

done that - not sure how much help it will give though...

i also wonder though is it worth putting in a 'request to return' with play for everyone's who order has dispatched ? its too late to cancel, but if they have a _lot_ of requests to return and the main reason being the stupid prices... ?
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
Don't suppose there is a HP email addy to send concerns to? Wonder if they can confirm or deny possible refunds...
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
As far as I know, Argos and Play.com were the only two retailers that hadn't yet offered the lower price (whether it be for a limited time, like Amazon)

But Argos has this morning now caved in and reduced their prices to £89 and £115.

This will hopefully help in the fight against Play.com

they are now the only hightreet retailer trying to greatly profit from this sale.

I'm waiting for an update from HP and I'll let you know. Waiting to hear back from their press office.

So far they have only confirmed that they'll refund direct customers, and credit the retailers.

Just waiting to find out if their credit customers of retailers who are refusing to refund the difference.

(if the retailer are being credited by HP, then they are severely taking advantage of the customer.)

As more developments happen each day, hopefully by the time the Touchpads arrive it'll all either be sorted or a lot clearer.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
had an email from play.com this morning saying they would not refund the difference and only option was to keep or send it back for a full refund.... will post the email in a few

was looking for an e-mail form for hp too to submit my disappointment with play
[TouchPad General] Analogue Dude:
I just logged into my Play account and my order is now showing as cancelled with today's date beside it.

Card payment had gone through so I wonder what they're playing at :confused:

I'd suggest that we go protest outside Play HQ but I don't fancy going to jail for a touchpad (maybe an ipad....:o)
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
Brad from HP support said to contact UK HP support on 020 7660 0950

not really very helpful so far... i will check my play.com order - but i got an email saying it was dispatched
[TouchPad General] danlat1415:
Thank for the update.

I too have got an email this morning confirming my order has been despatched via DHL and I've got a tracking number.

expect it to take upto 5 working days to be delivered, then I have 7 days for receipt to inform them if I wish to return for full refund.

That's approx 8-13 days to get this resolved and to put pressure on Play.com

[HTC Sensation] Beggars1923:
Hey all, I am about to purchase this device for my wife (I have the G2X, a working one miracously) and was wondering if HBO Go and Netflix work on the latest 2.3.4 version. I am leaning towards the Sensation for her because she takes a lot of pics and records videos. It is my understanding that the picture and video quality are amazing. Can this be confirmed. Also, any pitfalls I should be made aware of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
Wait till October and get the Hercules. I'm pretty disappointed overall with this device. Sadly....

Issues.

Reception poor (coming from mytouch4g)

Battery ridiculous poor

But it's not all bad. I mean I'm sure in the future custom roms/kernels will get this device to reach its true potential

Sent from my HTC Pyramid
[HTC Sensation] Beggars1923:
Thanks. I felt the same about the G2X, but the devs have really unlocked the potential of that phone. I would imagine the battery is going to be pretty bad with the Hercules as well (G2X isn't awesome). I was under the impression that the software update fixed the reception issue.
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
@raycaster:

My experience has been the exact opposite of yours. I came to the Sensation from a MT4G and found the battery life and reception to be very similar. In fact, my Sensation's battery lasts longer than the MT4G's. Sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been great.

With regards to Hercules....after an extremely negative experience with the Vibrant, I have trouble trusting Samsung smartphones. Who knows, the Hercules may be the greatest thing since sliced bread when it comes out, but I wouldn't recommend Samsung.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Samsung sucks, my experience with their Craptivate and it's broken GPS, ****ty battery life, Don't get me started on touchwiz and the lag, rfs is the worst file system, I never ran it stock.

I love my Sensation, it's battery is outstanding, I get over a day with medium to heavy usage. I haven't flashed any roms yet because they all have bugs because of the early development. Stock runs great. All I plan to do is flash a deodexed stock Rom so I can then flash some themes until some custom roms are further developed.

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Nice! god battery life!
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
Brand new sim and I compare it to myt4g with the same sim in and on the same wifi I consistently get 5 mbps faster with myt4g. I have since read in the kernel threads (I test beta kernels for myt4g and sensation) and it has just been discovered that not one single custom kernel has been efficiently handling both processors and apps such as setcpu are not functioning properly with this device. Long story short went back to stock kernel and battery is better. BTW what amt of screen on was that 20 hrs? I'm guessing nothing like i would have.

I have about 2.5-3 hrs screen on with about 90 min of music and still get 14 hrs out of myt4g of course I have demonspeed_MOD MIUI, on that device. Sensation 6-8 tops. That's why its sad that myt4g out performs this device (right now) I also understand the nature of development. We're still early. I was REALLY frustrated and it was evident in my post. I just expected more from a $500 device. Guess my standards are too high.

I'm not gonna get rid of it though. Too much potential. Sorry for the negativity in my previous post.

If you're not paying full price for it its worth the shot fornthe potential.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
I noticed quite a lot of sense 3.0 roms have been pumped out recently, the funny thing is none of them are significantly different than the other. majority of these half-baked roms do not even have the basic function of a smartphone (aka connectivity, messaging and such) and they are loaded with broken features. LOL man i'm starting to miss the Fascinate community, majority of the roms we had (kangbang, evil fascinating, etc) are rock solid with 100% functionality as far as roms goes. just saying....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] T.M.M.L:
Greetings ben,

I think that you are focusing on how well those roms ran, without remembering how well they started. I came from the Fascinate as well, I ended its call of duty with Evil fascination. None of the roms you mentioned, started without glitches and issues.

The incredible 2 has only had s-off for a couple months. Gingerbread has only been broken for a couple of weeks. The devs are just getting into the meat of the device. It's going to take a bit of time for the developers to turn out their creations, and it's going to take a hell of a lot more patience from the end users.

People seem to forget that these developers don't work for us. The sense of entitlement in these forums is off the chart. Unless you donated to your dev of choice, you haven't had to pay a dime for their continued hard word. Don't let donations fool you into thinking that somehow, the developers owe you anything. Donations are are a sign of respect and appreciation, nothing more.

So until we see a rom developed by you, that comes first day with no glitches, errors or issues, is full of incredible (no pun intended) options and choices, I think that you should maybe show the people working to make your phone experience better, a lot more respect.

I'm not trying to flame you, but your post in a slap in the face to the people making something for you to use freely.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mudsloth:
Amen to that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Clutch McWinner:
Double Amen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
I think if your are unhappy with the.state of development or with particular roms it should just probably remain private....developers do this for.free and because.they enjoy doing it

Don't like the.sense roms? Use the 3 fully.functional aosp roms we do have or use rmks debloated stock rom

Also afaik virtous unity is a fully functional sense 3 experience

Can only have 1 ROM on ur phone at a time anyway
