[Galaxy S II General] ogxjason15:
Hello, I just got the phone today. I tried rooting the phone using the CF-ROOT method and everything went well. I then proceeded to flashing GingerMOD Vanilla Rom through CWM. After rebooting and getting into the new Rom, I was not able to get 3G Internet connection (I can still make calls).

Anyone know what is going on? I tried ODINING back to Stock ROM and I am still unable to get any 3G Internet

check your APN settings are entered and correct
[Galaxy S II General] ogxjason15:
I checked that, APN settings are correct.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Set your network APN configuration manually you have probably wiped it .

[Galaxy S II General] ogxjason15:
I did set my APN manually and it still does not work. Anyone else? This is frustrating.
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
Is your Imei present? (settings->phone info-> status) or is 0000000000000000?

If you have your imei still present, there is always hope.

Otherwise, i dont want to be drastic, it is possible (but dont take this as good) that your efs folder is corrupted (that's why is always good to backup the efs folder)

Im not good enough to tell you something else, just start check imei, and when you provide this info probably someone better than me, can help you.
[Galaxy S II General] ogxjason15:
Problem fixed. I had to create a new APN with the username and password. The one that was included did not have the username and password. How does this get wiped? Maybe the ROM I installed didn't include those values? How do I delete the old APNs? It seems like they can't be edited or even deleted.

This kept me up all night, trying to fix it.:eek: When it just took me 2mins while driving to work :rolleyes:

Thanks for all the help.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChaosGenesis:
Hi,

I just bought a HD2 secondhand from an online shop which was promised to me to be in working condition.

Tried booting it up and it was stuck at the Windows Mobile screen.

Managed to flash HSPL 2.08 (after 3-4 tries?) but when I tried to flash the radio, the tool indicated the current image was... nothing.

It simply didn't display any image version, I thought that was a little strange but I tried flashing 2.07.51.22.2 on it anyways.

A few other versions later (2.12.50.02.2, 2.14.50.02.2, 2.08.50.05, 2.15.50.14) and still no luck (it usually fails around 96% when I do it via USB and its stuck at nearly maximum when I try an SD flash)

Not entirely sure where it came from, but it is HTC branded T8585.

I've tried a Task 29 (though LEO Advanced RUU) which was successful. But still no luck with the radio.

Phone won't boot up most of the time - but I can still enter the bootloader.

Various screens I've got so far:

HTC screen (white background)

Screen with exclamation mark and triangle

Screen that says software update has failed

Sooo... any idea if the phone is salvageable? I've been looking around the forum but I've tried most of the above and don't know what else I can do.

Cheers.

Edit: Doesn't actually say FAIL when I use an SD. It just gets stuck at like 99/100% (full bar) with the words Update In Progress... and never progresses.
[HTC EVO 3D] jimlightner:
can anyone tell me where i can get fonts for my infected evo 3d...
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
You can check this thread out here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801160

And check out dafont.com. Keep in mind these aren't flashable. Use an app called font changer from the market. You will need to download the zip of the font you want,extract the .tff file, and put it in the, .fontchanger folder. When it asks to reboot, just reboot manually instead of letting the app do it or you will have to do a battery pull.

[HTC EVO 3D] dgaf98:
Those do not work on the evo 3d. Only way I know of is the font changer from the market. I use "custom android font changer" just fine and u can add your own or it has built in fonts aswell.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Believe me, they work fine on the 3d. Like I said, you can't flash them, no, but you pull the .tff files from the zip. If he does what I suggested, he'll be fine ;)

Yeah, they worked for me too. I actually used to use font installer and now use the above method.

What? Hero is evolving... Hero evolved into EVO 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
There's an app called font installer in the market, easier than sifting through 100's of fonts

Edit: didn't see guy above me...my bad
[HTC EVO 3D] dgaf98:
only problem with that is it doesnt change lockscreen font, or am i doing something wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
I've never even noticed to tell ya the truth, lol. I use widget locker so the font is changed with that. As far as the stock lockscreen I'm not sure. :/ I guess not tho.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] vszulc:
Downloaded an upgrade to Skype today, and included was a bunch of new devices, that got videocalling with the upgrade. Among others was the Iconia A500, but of course no A100. ARGHHH!!!

After a couple of weeks of owning the A100, I'm more than happy at the size and speed of this little tablet, but it's getting to be really tiresome, that most of the cool new games and apps I find in the Market aren't compatible with the A100

Even some TABLET APPS aren't compatible.

And this is just the apps openly state they aren't compatible. With some of them, you won't find out until you either open it, and a message tells you that your device isn't compatible, or it just plain crashes on you...

(To further the confusion, in some cases you can download a demo from Tegrazone, but when you try to buy the full game after happily playing the demo, Android Market tells you, that the game isn't compatible with your device.... WTF?!?!)

Who's fault is this exactly? Is it Google that messed up? The developers that are just plain lazy? Or is Acer somehow to blame?

(I noticed that most apps report my screen in the A100 as being 600*976 pixels. Is this somehow the problem for at least some of the uncompatible apps!?)

And more importantly, what can I as a user do? Shoot off some friendly emails to developers? Or can a root or somekind of hack help solve the problem?

Opinions, suggestions?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kjy2010:
Video still isn't working on Skype for the A500, so you're not missing much!

;)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamesbdx:
Errr, yes it is (on A500/A501)! If you took 10 seconds to search you'll find in the skype parameters the possibility to turn on video (it isn't by default) and it works, I've just spent an hour on skype video, you can choose which camera you want to use, everything works perfectly. Sorry for being off topic but I just wanted to clarify what the person above me said...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FloatingFatMan:
Those options do not exist in HC 3.2 on the A500.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kekinash:
In mine stock 3.2 non root exist. Is in settings at the skype application. But you need the last skype update. I just finished a video conference right now and it worked great. Try again. :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ZeroAlphawolf:
Alright, on 3.2 Rooted, but the rom that has all the bloatware and everything pretty much intact Skype does not do video calls or show ANY of the video options in the settings.

I reverted back to a backup of 3.1, and the app DOES do video call, and show the video call settings.

I don't know what your doing Kekinash, but you've got a magical tablet.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamesbdx:
That's weird, my A501 on 3.01 stock rom with root is compatible with skype video calls.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Neoprimal:
This is both an opinion as well as a suggestion...

Be patient :(

Unfortunately the 7" and 8.9" sizes are 'new territory' for HC apps. Devs worked to get apps compatible with/to 10" screens and the associated resolutions that run on that size primarily for their tablet-only applications. In the same way devs for phone (1.5-2.3) apps have been working to make their apps scale up for tablet use, I'm sure HC-only app devs are working quickly to make their apps scale to smaller tablet screen sizes and those new resolutions. Even if the resolutions are already supported, afaik there's an issue in 3.2 causing them to crash when paired with 7" screens either way.

So when I say be patient, I mean hold out a bit longer and I'm sure things will be up to spec. On one hand you'll have the quicker devs fixing their apps to work well with smaller screens/different tablet resolutions and worse case scenario, you know it's all coming together anyway for ICS and at that point, everything SHOULD work.

Edit:

And friendly emails to devs let me tell you, do tend to get the job done. Especially when the app is popular. I use Getglue and was frustrated that it wasn't after quite a long time, not changed to be compatible with 3.0.1. I wrote a friendly email to the dev. asking for a Getglue for Tablets because I really loved the app and I sit with my tablet beside me more so than my phone now at home, etc. etc. and I got a response from my team saying that the app was unfortunately no longer compatible, but to use the mobile site. This was in July. Then roughly a few weeks or so later, voila! Fix'd. So it never hurts to let them know what's up.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Chestanuky:
most apps work in my stock A100

So far I have had no problems with the apps I use and have downloaded or even pay for. Skype now does video calls perfectly, the only app that was crashing a lot was a spell checker tha I did uninstall and replaced with an other one that has no problems.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] vszulc:
Just checked, and the video options DID turn on in Skype.

Along with a little warning that it might not be supported, blah blah...

So I got to use the front camera for the first time today ;)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] muqali:
Dunno if it's just me but it seems not all the apps I could/can see on my A500 appear on my A100. Same gmail account. For a while I couldn't find Facebook on the market.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] vszulc:
Yeah, there would be a lot of apps for the A500 that aren't compatible with the A100 I can imagine.

Best way to check, is to go in to the www version of the market, then you can see all apps, no matter if theyre compatible or not. If you have several devices, the www market tells you which one of your devices an app is compatible with. I wish there was a similar feature in the market app.

BUT! On the bright side, I DID get around to rooting my A100... You think that might make a difference in regards to apps? Is there some kind of workaround available now that its rooted?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] miterb:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] JonGarrett:
my Wife has the Iconia Tab 7" and when she gets incompatibility issues, all I do is side load the app. example, American Express app says its not compatible with her device. I just copied it from one of my Android devices and Bluetooth it to her, she installs it and it works 100%

sometimes the market place is just wrong. when I want an app even though the market says NO, I find the .apk from somewhere and install it. on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gameloft says their game Lets Golf 3 doesn't work....BS, Ive been playing this game for a month now with ZERO issues.

Hi,

after finding that awesome ES FILE EXPLORER,

i've managed to connect smoothly to my windows desktop, and by using

MOBO Player, even to play my .avi in a split of a second....but.......

for some reason it doesnt read the subtitle (located in the same folder with the same name of course)

is it a problem of the mobo player? cause i think that locally it can use the subtitle.

if not, can u please recommend on some other player that will support the streaming including subtitles?

thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] julian071:
Slahtop HD works well, sxcept fhe audio is 250ms out of sync.

I cannot recall the features of MoboPlayer, but I use DicePlayer, and there you can select a subtitle manually in the case the program is not able to locate it automatically.

Tried to put Resident Evil Afterlife 3D on my Sd card as normal but wouldn't play at all and glitched the phone bad thru the gallery.The video format was mp4. So i put the movie in the HTC Watch folder but it did not reconize it either. I have read about 3GP format for 3D videos for the Evo does anyone have any help?
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonmbrown:
Is there a rom for the gsm (rogers) version of the HTC 3D Evo that can run the SixAxis App (allows you to hookup ps3 to phone). I also wanted to know if theres a rom yet that supports overclocking on the GSM.

It seems all the fun stuff is for CDMA. The whole reason I bought this phone was to tweak with it, but theres hardly anything out there for it.

Last Question: WHERE THE HELL ARE THE 3D "3D" games, is the only one currently available spiderman 3d? Im becoming very dissapointed with the way cellphones have gone in terms of their games. Every app (excluding the HD games, which i still have yet to be drawn in by) Ive seen is a cheesy Almost Flash app that literally could have been made by a 15 yo as a highschool flash class project.

Btw Sorry for ranting/going off topic.

Back on topic. If anyone knows of a Good GSM Rom that supports bluetooth or overclocking (or both) Let me know please, Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] futurama:
Sorry to post this in the streak forum but there is no forum for the note yet, will someone set one up soon.

I suspect many fellow streakers will consider the note for their next upgrade, its definately going to be my first choice, so unless the camera is terrible or there is something fundamentally wrong with the feel of the note, I will definately have one in november.

My first question is, which networks will carry the device?
[Streak 5 General] Chirunavvutho:
Pricing seemed way too much.
[Streak 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
Huge high resolution AMOLED display, large battery and a (rumoured) Wacom powered stylus (very much a rumour)? Sounds like good value to me...

I think of it this way: I use my phone a LOT for web browsing, MP3 player, news feeds, graphic novels etc every day. I usually keep a phone for a year before upgrading SIM free, so I look at the price in terms of cost per day.

£600 is the rumoured price of the Note from what I've seen on some websites. This is £1.64 per day. Sounds worth it to me given how much use I get out of my Streak currently and how much tech you get for the money!:)

Also, the Sensation XL is scheduled to cost £500 SIM free with a smaller, lower res screen and smaller battery.:rolleyes:

It's all a matter of relative cost and personal worth...
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Futurama..... I'm crossing my extremities in hopes the Note will be released on ANY carrier besides aTnT. I could never understand why Dell released the Streak on the DeathStar's network..... I mean if a manufacturer wants to offer a better alternative to the i****, the FIRST order of business would be to offer it on a competitive network.... or am I totally missing something here.

Also, I understand the comment about buying it SIM-free, however, why pay $600 for something when you can get it for hundreds less if it's subsidized? Fortunately, I was able to buy my Streak SIM-free (factory unlocked), but I still have a contract with T-Mobile... So in my opinion, unless you're a pre-paid, month-to-month customer, there's really little benefit to buying any phone unsubsidized.....
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
When you get a phone on contract, you dont get it for less, you actually end up pying more for the phone, with 18 or 24 months of line rental! Line rental is a nice way of saying buying the phone in installemts!
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
I hear your point, Alexander, but if you're on a contract and your monthly bill is going to be the same whether or not you get a new phone, why not get the new phone at a significantly discounted price (instead of paying full price for the phone), because your monthly bill is going to be the same regardless).... The only downside to getting the new phone subsidized is you have to extend your contract another 2-years...... but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. My monthly phone bill, with tax is $67..... if it were to expire tomorrow, I'd gladly renew it for another 2-years (to lock in the price), AND take the big subsidized discount on the new phone..... Make sense?
[Streak 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
That depends on how much you pay per month. I'm on a monthly rolling contract with small number of minutes but large number of texts and 1GB of data for £20. If a better deal comes along, I can just switch at will.

If you get a phone bundled, then you'll be looking at £35 a month or higher for the base package plus an extra £10 a month to get the full 1GB a month data. And then you'll be locked in for 18 months on that £45 per month. That's not including any up-front "cost" of the phone.

I've done the sums before when deciding whether to go rolling SIM only + SIM-free phone and it works out a lot cheaper to just buy up front.

Also, if you buy SIM-free you get an unbranded, unlocked device whereas if you get it as part of a contract you'll have vendorware installed and be locked to that network. The MAJOR downside for this is that any OS updates are delayed by the network. Just look at how long it took O2 and AT&T to get the Streak updates compared to direct-from-Dell

Ah, I hadn't realised that you're in the US, that makes things a lot different! You get seriously ripped off for data tariffs for a start!

I don't know how it is in the US, but in the UK if you get a SIM-only contract, the monthly bill is usually half that (or even less) of a phone-included tariff for the same number of minutes, texts and data.

Before they changed the data allowance, I was with T-Mobile and I got 100 minutes, 500 texts and truly unlimited data for £15 a month with no lock-in! When they changed the data allowance, instead of having to wait for 6 months+ with only 500MB of data, I just switched immediately (took 3 days to switch) to O2 and now I get 500 minutes, 500 texts and 1GB of data (I use between 500MB and 1GB a month) for £20. Again, rolling monthly.

To get the same tariff with a phone bundled it would be £45 a month
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
IF you would be using that carrier's service anyway it is a discount. There is no carrier in the US that gives you a discount for supplying your own phone (T-Mobile did, but I believe those plans aren't available anymore) so if you are going to be a customer of the carrier anyway you do save money. In some cases the carriers price plus the termination fee is less than the retail price of the phone.

What you lose is your freedom to switch carriers and you get a phone that is 'locked' to a specific carrier.

You don't use a phone in a vacuum, you have to have some carrier for voice service. If you can buy the phone retail and get service for two years at a total cost that is less than the total for two years with a subsidized phone then you have saved money, but (at least in the US) if you use one of the big four buying a new phone outright will end up costing you more over the two years - because your service costs the same whether they subsidize the phone or not.

You have to decide if the freedom to change carriers or cancel is worth it. With GSM phones that are carrier branded (and many "unlocked" phones) you don't even get full cross compatibility because AT&T and T-Mobile use different bands.
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
I see your point, chaos..... but here in the States, and at least in my case, my monthly contract price isn't affected by whether or not I get a new phone every 2-years.... my monthly bill remains the same.... At this point in my situation, I KNOW I cannot get cheaper / better service with another carrier, so I have absolutely NO problem renewing with T-Mobile. Heck, if this aTnT merger happens, I think I'll get a new phone just to lock in my price for another 2-years (but I'll still use my Streak)
[Streak 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
Indeed, this appears to be very much a US vs UK carrier issue! I feel for you Yanks, I really do, whenever I read that you have to pay $40 extra *just* for data and you get charged to RECEIVE text messages! Crazy!

Did I mention that I used to get unlimited data AND 100 minutes AND 500 text messages for £15? I did? sorry just couldn't resist rubbing that one in there :D :troll:
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Yes chaos, you've us Yanks beat on that one LOL.... At least there are a few advantages still left by living in Europe .... OUCH! LOL ;-)
