[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rex2k1:
Hi,

I'm having problems with my Galaxy S2. I'm using the device without any problems for more than 3-4 months, using my work and house wifis. The problem started one week ago, without any changes in the work router (there is no MAC restrictions or any other security configurations) I can connect but there is no internet after a while, internet works for seconds or minutes and then, it stops.

- I have checked the sleep policy and is set "Never".

- I have flashed (with full wipe) to different roms versions (KG6, KH1, KH3...) in all of them, it fails once you boot.

- I don't know if in one of the last flashes it changed some about wifi device driver (or rom) that it doesn't change with a new flash.

Now my version is:

PDA: I9100XXKH3

PHONE: I9100XXKH3

CSC: I9100XAKH3

I don't what to do because I'm starting to think that is a phisical problem...but, if yes, it is possible to produce it with flashing?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marink:
I have exactly the same issue, and I only get it when I'm on my home wifi router which is really annoying.

I think it's an overall android error as it appears to be happening on a lot of different phones, but not initially when you buy them :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Have you tried a laptop to connect to your work's WiFi and see if it can get onto the internet.

My work requires a proxy to be used to get out of the network (I had to use AS Proxy).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rex2k1:
There are several devices connected and working fine in the Wifi network:

- Galaxy S

- 3 Galaxy S2 of partners

- HTC Wildfire

And also, my S2 have been working for months.
[HD2 General] DrATty:
Now that myPhone has closed, is there a way to backup and restore my SMS and MMS messages? SkyDrive is no help at all. I have all other data and my email safely backed up.

I have found an application called 'PPCPIMBackup' which was designed for WM5. Does anyone have any experience with this? I also have Sprite Backup and the backup utility in SKTools. I have a licence for SPB Backup.

My messages are critically important to me and the threaded version on my HD2 is extremely helpful. If I can't restore them after a reset, I'm in trouble. Unfortunately, that's just what I need to do. I can't afford to make a mess of this and so I haven't experimented with what I have yet.

Any help will be appreciated. If anyone has backed up their SMS, reset their HD2 and restored their messages successfully, I like to hear from them before I go further. I have read what I have found here but have found no mention of a successful outcome.

I have only had my HD2 for just over a year and Microsoft and HTC seem to be determined to turn it into a brick. If anyone is looking at Phone 7 devices I'd say 'beware'. Will Microsoft drop support for your phone?
[HD2 General] Cenobite_:
I can recommend pimbackup. I use it after flashing ROM's. Works fine.

Edit: I have only used it on SMS msg's. No MMS experience.
[HD2 General] rauschkugl:
I used spb backup and it also works fine.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 General] DrATty:
Thank you for your replies.

My SMS are most important. I can live without my MMS.

Does SPB backup allow restoration of SMS alone after a full reset?
[HD2 General] rauschkugl:
yes i think it does. sorry it's over 1 year now that i used wm on my hd2. but you can just make a backup and go to the restore menu before you reset your device. then you can see and be sure that you can restore only your messages.

but as far as i remember this is possible. i think you even can chose only to backup messages and not everything.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
SPB will backup all sms mms 100% perfectly using the mail backup function.

This backs up email too & can not be sellected individually.

Have used SPB for over 5 years & have not lost any messages or PIM in that time.

Free PimBackup app is not that good, no MMS support & only inbox sms is stored (outbox is not, would make threaded sms a bit one sided)

If ultra important I would use both SPB & Sprite for backup.

Another good software for sms & contact backup is iMobile sms-contact backup (has PC app viewers which can be handy & supports unicode characters correctly)
[HD2 General] DrATty:
Thank you all. I'm going to make backups with everything suggested.

Your comments have cheered me now that I know I stand a good chance of success. I thought I was stuck after the demise of myPhone.

I would press the 'thanks' button if only I could find it.
[HD2 General] anup4s:
You can use any one of these to backup and restore your SMS: -

1. PPC PIM Backup

2. iMobile Backup Suite

3. SK Tools

4. SPB Backup

5. 91 PC Suite for WM

I use PPC PIM Backup regularly and have used it to restore my SMS & Contacts without any problems.

iMobile Backup Suite too is very reliable and simple to use. It gives you "export to text" option too.

91 PC Suite for WM has export to CSV/XML options which too are easy to use for backup/restore.

Best Productivity Apps

Move2SD Enableler (root)

This is the first app that I install when I install any new rom. This app proably changes and multiplies the capablitlites of our Galaxy 3. Using this App you can force any App to get installed on your sd card. Imagine a 7mb Asphalt Game that will occupy some 800 kbs! By this I have installed Angry Birds Rio, Season, Asphalt, and other games and had space to install much more. Don’t forget this requires root permissions.

Chainfire 3D

If you want to play Alphalt , NFS Shift, Gangster Miami or any other HD game, you need to use chainfire 3D by which you can play these games. Also one thing that you need the game resolution to that of the Galaxy 3. You can go to this site for chainfire 3d tutorial and Games.

http://samsung-i5800.org.ua/

P.S. I did not make this site nor am I in any way related to it.

P.P.S. Downloading Paid games from that site is some what ILLEGAL. Please note that.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] remix96:
Hi, a few days ago, I found in a shop, an HTC Hero at 199€ :eek:

Is this a good price?

I would like to buy it, but i have some question:

1- The low RAM slows down the phone?

2- The videos are shot at only 10 fps, it' s not possible to increare that at 30fps?

3- What is the max stable OverClock you can do?

4- Are there any ROM with A2SD?

Thanks in advance for the response :)

P.S. I also have an LG Optimus ONE.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stefpaul:
1. the ram is 288 and it dose not slow the phone

2. the videos are shot @ 30 fps

3. i use the phone stable @ 748 Mhz

4. yes there are a lot of them

i recommend to buy another phone;) because the hero has already 2 years... look for a desire at least:D

Stefan
[Hero, G2 Touch General] remix96:
Thank a lot for the response :D

Yes... the HTC HERO has already 2 years, and the HTC Desire is better, but it costs more :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] remix96:
I have another question; the HTC Hero can record video in HD 720p?

What is the best record video resolution?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] m4rk84:
Sell your LG and put that money with the 199E and buy something more up to date. You can buy a* Desire for pretty much 199E

EDIT: *used
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Habarug:
Don't buy a Hero. It's just too old. And that's not even a god price :P You could get a Desire for that :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] glc99:
Depends what you want an android phone for, but I agree that it's better now to look for something newer. The Hero struggles with modern apps e.g. Angry Birds and can't play flash etc because of hardware limitations. I might snap up another one up in a fire sale for 100 or less (for my dad, for example) because other than being underpowered it's actually not so bad with a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM (except battery life, which is a bit poor), but at 200 you're better off investing that toward something that's going to give you more use into the future.

The only thing I'd specifically recommend getting a Hero for is for audio-recording your calls: there's a Hero-specific exploit that allows the free rVoix app to do that once the phone is rooted.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stefpaul:
There's an app on the market that can do this, without root;), i used it when my phone was 100% stock:D

Stefan
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ASSK:
Wildfire S also 200 euro's. New with simlock in my country ;) So the hero.is a bit expensive if you ask me..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Vortex147:
Don't buy. It's really old. With ARMv5 - without adobe flash.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stefpaul:
armv6;)...it run's flash but the app is modif. by the guys;)

but in any case, don't buy the phone

Stefan:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Habarug:
ARMv6, really :P but your right no flash, and generally an old, slow phone :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Droidyou:
Yep like said before, don't buy the hero anymore :(.

If you are on a low budget go for the htc wildfire S or Samsung galaxy gio.

Or go for a second hand desire hd or something like that.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dftba:
It's a good phone if you buy it for the right price. I won one for just under £100 on eBay, already with a custom ROM installed (it's vanilla so I'm not keeping it, but the advantage is it's already set up for me to install my choice of ROM) and I think it'll be a good on-the-cheap HTC. A Desire costs about £160 if you want one in decent condition, which is almost £100 more than a Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] luca47:
I have a Hero bought in oct-09 and I'm planning to buy a new one (galaxy sii?) before christmas because it's got too slow for heavy use, the hero was a good one until htc gave up with updates (a few months after my purchase?), if you want to root it or as your first smartphone it still could be a good choice, though €200 is not really a bargain. however my partner has a Wildfire which I rate one of the worst smartphone around! actually the hero, although one year older, is much better in nearly everything, looking at the wildfire display is something painful. in the end, you always get what you spend... besides that, I now dont like HTC that much...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lambomanx1:
I wouldn't call 60% nearly 100%...!

Definitely avoid. Take a good look at a Desire if you can, or a Desire HD in great condition if you can stretch it. The Desire with its low memory might start to get stretched soon however, but the Desire HD still sits with the best of them if you flash custom ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dftba:
Well, P&P aside, I paid about £90, which is 70%, and I'd say that's almost 100%.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] yuuto:
Suggestions don't buy
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lirasina:
The Hero is nice if you get it for free. The phone is almost 3 years old already and indeed the Wildfire S is about the same price you are saying. So go for that to have more support for the current apps.

On the Hero Google Maps 5.5.0 is the last version that runs fine on it. But the current version is 5.9.0. So if you want to have your phone for about 2 years. Then do NOT go for a Hero but something else.

The Hero is easy in modifying (Custom roms and stuff) but that will come for the newer phones pretty soon. Since HTC is more nice to devs :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lambomanx1:
I think this sums it up perfectly really.

Best thing, in the situation outlined above, where you get the phone free, just run CM7 on it. It will be buttery smooth :)

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but when I see a Hero (I saw one earlier today), even with my DHD...there is something about it that just makes me want one!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stefpaul:
Itțs 2,5 Years old :d...but the main problem is that the hardware can't support new software...that's why devs keep making the ROM optimised for phones like the Hero... I'm starting to think if it's necessarily to buy a high end phone that you pay a lot of money for it or maybe buy a tablet and a mid range phone :D...

With google maps i can say that i run 5.10 and it runs ok on the SalsaSense 4.0 but waiting for the new release on what the russian guys do:D...After running a month and a half an AOSP ROM, Sense gets me back.

As for the custom rom part...it's easy on most of the phones...but i recommend a min of 1 GB flash memory so that flashing larger files won't be a pain in the *** :D

If you have any question around here ask us;)

Stefan:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jinrake:
you can get it for like £70 on eBay though
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bobbylouman:
When I got my Hero (Around 14 months ago) it was faster and nicer than most of my friends iPhones >_> but problem with it now is that there are SOOOO many apps, and SO much you can do wit Android that overtime you will have so much stuff that your Hero will slow down and be all clunky. IMO go for Desire HD or Nexus S which are more budget now since you can get them for $50 with 3 year plan and they will last you.

As examples, my carrier Telus has both for $49.99 with any 3 year $50 plan. Same thing I had to choose my Hero with..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Jermaintube:
The best price for the HTC Hero now is 135 dollars ( im dutch so its here 165 € )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] huatin:
I wouldn't recommend to by HTC Hero any more. The are better and more powerfull phones on the marrket. Hero has a weak processor and not too much memory. Price is an argument, but having fun with your phone is important too. Save money and buuy a dual core phone!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] truonghaf4:
wildfire S or desire

dont buy hero

because it's ram little and cpu slow:(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chrisdolman22:
I love the Hero but I wouldn't buy one now - there are newer phones in the same price range that are more functional. The Wildfire S would be my suggestion.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Arranmc182:
If u want the phone on its looks I say look at the HTC Legend it has a better CPU but a little updated uni-body look but its similar to the look of the Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch General] simsalam:
legend has some really candy look, but cpu is still too low, I have my hero for almost 2 years now, I love using it, but I have to admit the fact that arm6 cpu without flash or apps like firefox and laggy interface it is so retro, even if you get amazingly optimized sense free android rom, still on gallery or browser or whatever you'll always feel that even overclocked arm6 cpu is not enough. invest a little bit, or find desire on ebay auction or whatever but think one step ahead, cause you'll have to stick with that phone for some time ;)

Hi all,

I have gingerbread 2.3.3 official version in my HTC Desire

Since I have rooted the device I can´t browse with the original browser or any other like Dolphin or similar.

All the Internet services work fine, like Gmail, Market, Maps, etc., but I can´t browse... the browser bar it´s waiting eternally.

Someone have any idea about can I solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dik23:
I travel more than average and prefer to insert a local SIM card whenever I land so as not to get ripped off, which is one of the reasons I bought a SIM free desire.

I want to put custom ROMs on it but am concerned that they might not have the international APN settings. The last phone I put custom ROMs on was WM5 and the ROMs didn't have this feature.

So....

Will the customs come with this ?

If some don't how do I tell if it's available on a specific ROM and is there a way to add if it's not ?

Thanks for any help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dik23:
Thanks.

Anyone got ideas on this one ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dik23:
Nobody knows anything about this ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
Most custom rom's have a pretty complete apn list.

if you come across one that doesn't just replace the file /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with a more complete version of the file, I allways use the one from cyanogenmod if I have any problems.

But as I said, most (if not all) established rom's have a good apn list so I wouldn't worry unless your using an unstable experimental rom thats in its very early stages.
