Ah. Was on 2.3.4.1, having updated it from the market a while back, Market 'forgot' to tell me there was a further update. Gawd this phone is soooo unreliable in sooo many areas. I just never know what's going to stop working next requiring another restart. All-time longest uptime before requiring a restart to fox something or other I've discovered by accident isn't working properly is a little over 5 days. Complete poo, not really fit for purpose IMHO, and big mistake I'm now stuck with :-(

Anyway, thanks, will try that and thanks for the pointer
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Either you have a massive dud unit, or it's about time that you took the chance and moved to a custom ROM.

I've has this phone since April and have the exact opposite opinion! I've used LBC Mod since it was first available after I S-OFF'd and rooted my phone, I have tried the other ROMS all of which offer different things, depending on what you're looking for, but, for me coming from a WM Sense background I'm very happy with a "working" close to stock ROM that's stable reliable and ideal for daily use.

I'm also on T-mobile UK. Happy to point you in the right direction - if needed.
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
Ah, now there's an idea. I'm going to try that. With a hammer! :):)

In summary, this thread is trolling at its weakest.

WibblyW, please stop trolling.
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
Really, trolling? I have a genuine problem and got some genuinely good advice that may lead to solving it. Good on this forum!

... and I genuinely feel like hitting this phone with a hammer once in a while. So that comment was an attempt at some humour to lighten the mood. Sorry you were not amused.

I do find it interesting when some people find it offending in some way when someone is negative about their fav product - that's the whole "Apple fanboy" mentality isn't it? In another thread entiled "Lucky to have the Desire S" others have said I've just been very unluckly with this phone - and maybe that's the case...
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
When one has a problem, simply think OH NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM, STORY OF MY LIFE, WHAT A WORLD, NOTHING EEEEHHHH-VERRRR GOES RIGHT FOR ME.

When some simple steps and questions could be bring upon the holy grail.

1. When was the last time my application was working properly?

2. What has changed since said period of time the email was working properly?

3. Is there a way I can go back to said period of configuration and see if it will work efficiently?

3a. After reverting back to said period of time, has this resolved my problem?

4. Is it a software modification that was made that could be causing this problem?

5. Is it a external source that could be causing my problem?

6. Is it a network issue with my service provider?

7. Is it a issue with my modem that I am connecting to?

The list could go on and on, but my eyes are rather dry, and I need to do a few things for tomorrow.

So feeling a little bit tired from the weekend. I start messing with my p509. Gathering and sharing knowledge in XDA. I managed to gain full root access with SuperOneClick 2.1.1 on Android 2.3.3. Some info from a member here and trick helped me in gaining full root access. Now I'm really messing with my phone stock flashing it. In Emergency mode during the imaging process I severed the usb interface connection, the battery falls out and *poof. Now I have a terminal case of bricked cell phone, and something tells me the cell phone won't power up ever again.:o

Then it's time to start messing with JTAGging. :P

GOD I am happy you didn't start messing with explosives! :eek: :p

Eh,things like that happen dude.You can try sending it to a repair center,pretending you don't know why it happened.If they don't repair it,you either have to start learning how to use JTAG boxes,or find someone who knows how to use JTAG boxes or,worst case scenario,accept your phone is dead.In case the last thing happens,I'm sorry for your loss. :)

There are many Themes in the "Themes and Apps section" for most DHD roms. Or you go to http://uot.dakra.lt/ and make your self a nice theme there.

You can change everything you want on this site.

There is also an app in the market called "metamorph"

But you need to be rooted and have CWM recovery.

Always make a backup of your rom before you flash any theme because you can get into bootloop sometimes and so you aleay can go back to stock.

I Checked Up The Website That U Gave Me And Its Just What I Want But There Is One Problem When I Need To Upload The SystemUI.apk And The Framework-res.apk And Thr Com.htcresources.apk I Am A Root User And I Maneged To Locate Them But When I Press The Upload Button Automaticly Adobe Flash Player Opens And A Folder Named Upload Comes Out And Its Empty

The Problem Is I Cant Upload These Files.Should I Put Them In A Specific Folder? OR what Should I Do?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steini81:
I do this from my PC. Open the downloaded Rom (.zip) with winrar or 7zip search for the files you need (use search button and copy & paste the filenames from browser) and copy them out of the .zip file. Then you go to the browser (on PC) and upload them. You will get a number and have to wait till it's finish (5min - 1hour). When it's finish you can download it as a .zip file and flash it in recovery.

I never tried to upload it from the phone.

It's very simple.

[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
Make sure it is named PD98IMG.zip

(Not zip.zip. windows usually adds the.zip automatically so if the file is zipped and all you see is PD98IMG that's ok)

make sure you have AT LEAST 20% battery

Put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders)

Power on your phone while holding volume down

the bootloader will automatically find the rom and start installing it

Follow the onscreen instructions

[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
hi all,

Ive recently upgraded to v10d (Europe Open, coming from v10b) and im experiencing some wacky probs with the battery. Yesterday noon i charged the phone to 100% and then unplugged it and left it for about 5h. I then checked on battery life which was still 100%(!). I rebooted the phone and after some heavy use (2-3h youtube, lots of surfing, new widgets installing/configuring) i had dropped the battery to a 60%. I then went to bed. This morning the phone was dead and when i put it on the charger i saw that the battery had dropped to zero causing the phone to shut down. So i plugged it in, and switched it on. Since day 1 i was surprised with how fast the phone was charging to 100%, so after about 45min i checked on its state and saw that it was still at only 6%. I checked again after half an hour or so and it was still at the same point, 6%. I rebooted the phone again and checked on the battery level b4 plugging it back in and i saw a reading of 76% (!). Now ive plugged it back in, and once more its stuck on 76%. In all cases, even though the charging battery icon is there, the phone doesnt seem to show any changes in the battery state. Has anyone experienced something like this? Any advice welcome

Peace
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiob8:
I've got the same problem. It started two days ago, I tried Battery calibration but nothing changes.

My rom is miui.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Not only i get crazy readings, but the battery drain is MASSIVE. The phone sucks more than 60% battery in less than 7h on idle.. I dont get it, i did everything using LG's update tool, chose Europe as a location (The phone was sent from expansys UK, but i live in Spain.. Expansys 'out of stock' solutions). At least i dont get any BSOD or lags.. But the phone is still uselless like this..

EDIT: Ignore the sig
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiob8:
Have you tried battery calibration? (market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration) I think that's the problem, I did it again yesterday and I've got 20% of battery drain in 8 hours. Maybe too much (it has been in airplane mode 6 of those hours) but nothing unusual.

Sorry for my english, I'm from Spain too ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
I didnt try Battery Calibration because ive already done what the app does manually. I deleted battery stats from CWM, drained the battery, left it full charge without interruptions and the problem remains.. Im waiting for the phone to fully charge now, ill switch it on and post bb and ril readings because i remember that even though getril stated that BB and RIL are matching, it said something strange about a T-Mobile ROM or something.. Ill be back with more
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
OK, here's what i see from GetRil, it looks a bit strange. On 'about phone' (Android menu) I see that im on LG version v10d. But on GetRil i get:

RIL: 0405 (V10C, T-Mobile)

Baseband: 1035.21_20110405

Can anyone make something out of this?

Any help appreciated

EDIT: AGAIN Ignore Sig (Got to get this done at some point :) )
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiob8:
I tried battery calibration, but it didn't get better. Then I deleted battery stats but didn't work, so I tried battery calibration yesterday and (for now) it's OK. Maybe when I charge it again the problem will be back.

I've got bb 622 and ril 622 v10d vodafone and getril says everything it's OK

Edit: you should try another ril, V10C Spain for example.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
What version do you have? v10D? Did you update the phone using LG update tool?
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiob8:
I use Miui (It's a rom based on cyanogen) and I flash a new one almost every week. Those roms are beta, so it's "normal" for me to have problems, but you shouldn't have them with a stock one...
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
yeah i guess so.. The thing is that im coming from a much simpler to use/flash smartphone (acer liquid) and im a bit mixed up now.. basebands, ril's etc. Maybe i should try to flash the last version for spain using the LG tool, and try again.

EDIT: Now im getting a 'Update not required' message from LG update tool. Probably because its trying to go from v10d (Europe) to v10c (Spain).. IM SO ANGRY!!
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiob8:
I would do that. The last bb is 725, it works well for some people, but not for me, I tried it but the battery drain was massive, so I get back to 622 and (until this problem) everything worked fine.

You'll get used to this, it's funnier :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
How do i update the baseband only?

EDIT: I found the baseband page on Modaco, where its got the smartflash tool/drivers and the BBs, but it says that it will fully wipe INCLUDING Int SDCard. I try to do a backup using CWM-based Recovery 4.0.1.5 for Internal & External SD Card from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098745 but even though i have an external SDcard in, it does the backup on the internal!
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiob8:
With smartflash (http://android.modaco.com/topic/335494-12-aug-smartflash-stock-baseband-release-103521-20110725/) but read everything very well. It'll delete all your data, so make backup.

I don't dare to do it in english, in case I don't exprese myself well enough
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Ok man, thanx. I was wondering if it is ok to flash baseband 622 over v10d, or if it is totally irrelevant and i just dont know what im talking about.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] sergiob8:
I'm such a noob too (specially talking in english) but if you ask to the experts, you'll be fine, good luck :)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
BB and rom are two separate stuffs. U can play around with any BB till u find one that suits u best.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Yeah I realised that.. Im on v10d and i just flashed BB 622 and preparing to flash Fr19.. Lets hope that all the battery craziness will go away..

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srothkin:
For some reason, my HTC Thunderbolt has stopped automatically syncing my google calendar. I can manually sync it by going to calender -> menu -> refresh and it will sync. I can also sync it manually from settings -> accounts and sync, but nothing I have tried restores the automatic syncing.

Gmail (both contacts and mail) is automatically syncing -- its only the calendar that isn't (and the calendar IS the same google account as gmail).

I have noticed that on the accounts and sync screen for my google account that it shows the current date for sync contacts and sync gmail, but July 10 for Sync Calendar (see attached image). I've tried unchecking and rechecking that and sync now. It will always sync (and it does pick up new appointments), but it never changes that last sync time and it never goes back to automatically syncing.

I searched google for this issue but nothing I found directly addresses it -- all seem to be difficulty syncing at all (even manually).

I am running stock rooted MR2. See attached image for exact versions.

I am using ADW desktop so I have disabled HTC Sense.

How can I get the automatic sync working again?

Easiest way to root is to use cf-root, full instructions in the thread

Match up the bit in bold to find out which kernel you need

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100|PKH1

If you want a newer stock rom try this thread, again to root you will want to use cf-root.

As far as a good custom rom combo, try ninph kernel and villanrom, links in my sig.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You may just want to update to a newer stock rom, see the 2nd link in my post.

That is a very old rom, there has been quite a lot of performance improvements since then. Try KG6 or KH3.

If you want to go for a custom rom, see my sig for what I use ninph+VR is a stock based combo where as CM7 is a whole new and different rom, though it has limitations and may not be good enough for everyone at this point.

Rooting allows you to use root apps, terminal emulators, titanium backup, CWM recovery (comes with the kernel) which allows full device backups.

Rooting is not the same as jailbreaking, you can sideload apps without rooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You can sideload any apps, there are also free apps in the market, and there are also loads of apps on xda if you look around.

Try the getjar store

Or appbrains

Android doesnt have the same limitations as iso, you can install apps from 3rd party's without rooting.

I'm unclear about what I need to do to root my phone with it being locked on contract to O2 (UK) and with carrier branded firmware.

What I'd like to do is root the phone and upgrade the firmware if possible, especially if there are performance improvements.

I don't understand the KG6 and KH3 - what are these are how do they differ?

I don't really want to mod or get anything custom, I just want to keep it simple: root and get a more up-to-date firmware, if possible.

I'm not really that good with the technical stuff and am not confident enough at the moment to just go follow the instructions straight away - too many questions I am unsure on and uncertainties.

First, do I upgrade the firmware first or do I root first?

Do I need to upgade to a carrier-branded firmware - is there a newer on available?

Is it possible to upgrade to a non-branded firmware - or will that not work as I am on contract/locked with O2?

Which version do I upgrade to? I have been advised KE2 but I have also been told the latest version is KE7? I don't really understand which I should be trying to upgrade to and where to start. I'm finding it a bit confusing.

If I can upgrade, what settings should I make sure I have noted?

What happens to all the data?

It just feels like a minefield at the moment. :-(

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You can flash any firmware via odin, it doesn't matter that your phone is locked, but it will stay locked.

Kg6 and kh3 are versions. You can update to them, once you flash a normal stock rom you won't be o2 branded anymore.

If you want a very simple setup with root, flash kh3 firmware from that thread, and then cf root kh3, you will be stock but have root and all the goodies.

You flash the rom first, then the cf root kernel via odin and you will have root.

As far as walking you though it, the guide is clear in the thread with the firmware, and me typing it out again wouldn't help I don't think.

As far as data, if you use a non wipe version, you won't lose anything, but you can backup your sms, mms, call log to your gmail with sms backup plan plus.

User app data can't be backed up without root.

Thanks for the reply...

I don't understand the naming convention or the differences between the different versions, such as Kg6 and kh3. What's the significance of 'kg' as opposed to 'kh' ?

Who makes these versions?

I've also been told about a 'ke7' version/update.

What is the latest branded firmware for O2 for the Galaxy S2? If there's a newer one, should I use that? Or would I be better off with one of the others above?

Do all these versions have the same GUI & look & feel? Do they all have TouchWiz 4? etc

When you said 'guide in the thread' - which thread are you referring to?

Do I 'lose' anything by flashing with a non-branded firmware?

Sorry to be a pain, finding it hard to grasp. It may be simpler than I am making it but I'm just concerned about damaging my phone or rendering it unusable.

Do I need a usb jig (not that I have a clue what it is!) ?
