[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] replicon1:
To set a proxy server in Firefox for Android:

Type "about:config" in the address bar and press return.

Type "proxy.http" into the search box on the about:config page.

Tap on "network.proxy.http" and type the server name into the text box.

Tap on "network.proxy.http_port" and type the port number into the number box.

Find "network.proxy.type" and set it to 1.

Hi all,

Does anyone succed in rooting the V11C ?

(i'm quite sure the answer is "no!" but maybe a genius will read that post)

Nico
[LG Optimus Black] nico_bzh:
my LG OB running under V11C (SFR France) is rooted !

not a genius, but it works thanks all !
[LG Optimus Black] nico_bzh:
just in case, here's my method :

1 - plug the phone without cards (SD & SIM), antivirus desactivated on PC.

2 - Run SOC with admin privileges, choose exploir "psneuter"

3 - clic on "root shell", freeze on step #4

4 - on pc open task manager and kill the 2 process "adb.exe"

5 - SOC still open clic on root shell once again

6 - processing.... "cheking if rooted :true" (it's not true bute whatever...)

7 - in task manager kill the process "adb.exe" runing again

8 - launch the SRP(reset).exe (found in Ilkos's UPK 3.4) choosing "run as administrator"

9 - processing : applying privileges --> ok , rebooting

10 - wait while phone rebooting. Once it's ready, stop the phone, put the 2 cards (SD & SIM), start the phone

11 - it'done

(excuse my poor english language - i hope it helps)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4uw1n3:
Guys, don't ask me to search again... i really did... and didn't found any answer....

i am new on android.... and it's regarding the battery's life time...

i hope someone give me an answer here....

there're a lot android user saying about advanced task manager, juicedefender, v6 supercharger, cell standby, phone idle.... anyway... i got no answer at all....

few people using ATaskMan and improve their battery life, but few people said it just drain my battery... anyway...i don't see any improvement using that....

i used juice defender to keep the connectivity.... better than keep it all the time...

didn't see any improvement also....

i used setCpu too... keep it low at night.... i don't really know if it works....

all i want is keeping the data on as long as possible.... even on sleep.... to keep apps like viber, whatsapp, im+ and sometime to sync the apps like weather, facebook, twitter and email...

weather, facebook, twitter and email... these apps were set to manual... not automatic....

i don't call and messaging a lot.... just stay on in internet...

i don't play games a lot... maybe few minutes....

so my questions here...

1. did the apps on background really drain up the battery? because they are, who using v6 supercharger didn't have a problem with battery.... and it's not like ATaskMan... it's didn't kill the apps at all.... just manage the background apps...

2. did the widget also drain the battery? some people said so....

3. keep the data on all the time? i read in this forum... they keep their data on.... but, still having their phone more than a day... moveover... some guys get it over 2 till 4 days...

if it's about ROM, it should be same with other, who uses the same ROM...

and if it's about hardware... it should be from the first time i bought this phone....

i just want keep my phone as long as possible with data on.....

anyway.... i still keep tracking what drain my battery the most....

hope someone come with answer for this....

and sorry for my english.....:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
1. That depends on which apps are running in the background, but when your device is in standby it should go to "sleep", but if you've set some apps to update every 15 minutes, the phone will wake up (without turning the screen on of course) to update them. This will naturally use some battery. And remember that Android can handle all processes itself. You don't need to kill them yourself. That will actually decrease batterylife since the phone has to start the apps again everytime you kill them. A task manager is nice to have if an app is going rogue.

2. Widgets do use battery, and the widgets who are set to automatically update itself uses more battery (Facebook, Twitter, Weather etc.)

3. "This tip is one that seems counter-intuitive, but you can save a lot of wear and tear on your Android phone's battery if you tell it to keep the Wifi radio turned on and connected while the phone is sleeping. Your phone needs a lot of juice to keep pinging those cell towers, and even more to transmit data to and from them. Wifi radios use much less power because of their design, and they don't have to keep searching for a better access point. It's the way cellular data communication was designed, and it's a necessary evil.

But what if you're spending all day (or all evening) in one place, connected to Wifi? If you tell your phone to shut off Wifi when idle, it bounces back to cellular data (be it 2G, 3G, or 4G) and starts sucking down the electrons again when the screen shuts off. That's no good, and easy to fix:

Open the advanced Wifi settings by pressing the menu button, then Settings, Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi settings, and tapping the menu button again. You'll have a choice to either Scan, or go Advanced -- go Advanced.

Tap the Wi-Fi sleep policy entry, and you'll get a pop up dialog with the choices you see in the picture above. Choose Never.

Now even when your phone goes into standby mode, you'll stay connected to Wifi and be able to get mail and messages without turning the cell radio back on and trouncing your battery life. And for the times when you're not in an area with a Wifi connection, just shut Wifi off, either through the menu or with a handy toggle widget. Your battery will thank you for it."

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petecraig612:
The android OS has a built in task manger so using ATK or ATM is actually worse than if you don't.

But honestly rooting has made all of the difference. If you have time for it READ about what it means to root and the how-to's, youtube instrutional videos, etc.... just get your feet wet a lil bit. When/if you feel like it is something that you might be interested in, go ahead and do it. You wont regret it and you will diffidently be able to improve battery life with titanium backup which allows you to freeze apps that you dont need running.

Warning 1) you might become addicted to flashing ROMS... and 2) if you screw up your phone you can't blame anyone but yourself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4uw1n3:
1. I did already.... :D waiting the new rom everyday....

2. Yes it is....

I need root to back up my phone... and it's already rooted... and there're a lot useless program coming with stock rom... need root to clean it also....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetnsour:
at least for my phone: regarding setcpu, you can raise the minimum frequency, increasing performance while hardly affecting battery life (at stock i had 245/600; now i have 480/600). turns out that if you set the minimum frequency low, it will take some juice to ramp the cpu back up

just a little tip :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
Just wanted to add: besides titanium backup, I'd also recommend gemini app manager and better battery stats. You can use gemini to edit an app's autorun permissions (ie, automatically starting at boot) for those apps you don't, can't or shouldn't uninstall/freeze. If you're having issues with your phone not sleeping better battery stats will help you identify what's keeping your phone awake.

Lastly, there is only so much you can do to optimize your battery life. In the end you're going to have to sacrifice some functionality for better battery life or vice versa. You just need to find the right balance you can live with.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsalan.haqs:
What is the longest running time did you had on your phone? I reckon batteries are getting thinner and thinner and will not last long.

Apps are there to help you avoid manual work. If you switch of automation on all the apps then you will have to spent time and do it all manually and on the other hand how much life will you save lets say %15. Not worth it!

Best solution is to stick your handset to the charger while you are going to sleep!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4uw1n3:
i set it 300/300 at night... it's from 00.00 til 06.00 which i don't touch it.... i don't know, if it is a good idea.... i guess, background apps wouldn't using cpu so badly.... would it?

im trying tasker right now... 15% fair enough for me.... without losing data....

i am almost 12 hours out there every day.... i wanna figure out, how to spare the battery life... cause i wanna buy tablet.... which consume more battery than a phone....
[Networking] cronemeister:
Hi

I am trying to find out a way of forcing a new device I have just bought (Motorola ES400) to connect to the Vodafone network via 3G only.

I am testing it at work using a work sim, and are experiencing issues with our corporate APN on these types of devices, so I want to try 3G.

Does anyone know of a way either a bit of software, or a *# dial string that I can enter that will give me the option.

I have an HTC TP2 which has Advanced network settings in the connection settings area that allow me to disable HSDPA, but there is nothing on the ES400 that lets me do this.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apekaas:
Hi all,

I want to flash the VillianRom, but I'm not sure if I'm able to use it. I'm using this stock firmware:

PDA:CEKI2

PHONE: XXKI1

Android 2.3.4

XEN (Netherlands)

I think I've to use the VillianRom 2.5, with the 2.3.4 base. It states XXKI4 though, so my question is if I can use it with my XXKI1?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Yes you can, the firmware your phone comes with doesnt effect the rom, the version number listed for Villian rom just means which stock rom its based on, in this case VR2.5 is using 2.3.4 KI4.

You can flash VR3 which is 2.3.5 KI3 (yes samsung have stupid version numbers).

Dont worry about what you are starting with, but you will want to wipe data/cache so make sure to backup anything you dont want to lose first.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apekaas:
Thanks for the explantion! Didn't see any real requirement notifications in the villian rom thread, so thought better to ask first ;) Nice to know it doesn't matter!

Hi,

I'm new on these forums so apologies in advance if I get things wrong.

I received my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 on 2.3.4 with XXKI1 from Vodafone on Saturday, I have been getting used to using it after I switched from a *spit* iPhone 4.

Life story over, what I wanted to say was;

Since this is my first time using Android, I wanted to root my device and I was wondering what would be the best ROM to use, I was looking around on the forums and Villain ROM seems to be pretty good, so what file would I need to download? I have ODIN on my downloaded at the moment. And also and when Matriak31 said "You can use KI1 or KI3" what does this exactly mean? Because he then goes on to talk about the Wifi signal being stronger and I notice that my wifi has been pretty weak compared to my old phone.

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buneetg:
Sorry what does that actually mean?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acousticoid:
Hi Buneetg, ki1 ki3 are two of the available modems (=baseband) you can try.

To root your phone you can start by checking the link at post #8.

Then you can get the link to download VillainRom here (post #3).

But, seriously, if you don't know what file you have to download you probably should have a look first around the many guides and whatnot that have been posted here about root, roms, kernels, etc. imo.good luck.

Hi , Jimmy here!

After flashing my GS4G , i can no longer connect to anything 3G or higher. Only edge speed for my data connectivity. I usually get 3G/4G but not anymore. Any way to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
can you be a bit more specific? what did you flash onto the phone? what modem are you using?

as a general rule, I would just reflash the entire rom after a factory reset/cache wipe. sounds like it didnt flash properly. also, try to change your modem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
You could also check to see if your data settings are set to GSM only or GSM/WCDMA.

That's in settings > wireless and network > mobile network > network mode.

I remember after flashing something this one time (can't remember what it was), my data settings were changed to GSM only.

Samsung GT-S5830 Stock China FW ZCKPA Gingerbread 2.3.4

Some cool features:

Traditional+Simplified+Korean Handwriting Recognition Support, Advanced Call Manager, Auto Reject, Reject with SMS, Silent Profile Scheduler, IP Call, Google Voice support, In-Call Status Alert, 2G/3G Data Toggle in Pull down menu, etc.,

On closer inspection, some of these features and other similar settings can be found in stock firmware ROM for Samsung Galaxy S2 Gingerbread 2.3.4 GT-i9100.

Such a shame if it is not stock nor official, such a great ROM with lots of very useful features. Such a shame if we don't share it nor port it to the custom ROMs.

I would just like to share the link here. If someone can read Chinese, please do tell and make clarifications if this is really stock ROM and if it is official (the real McCoy) since this is not available in www.samfirmware.com and I don't believe if it's not there it's not stock nor official.

Frankly as per my own personal experience, there is none as of now and never has ever been a ROM like ZCKPA for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 with all these features built in the firmware itself or rolled out into a package for that matter. So just for them to know, the devs and those who are daring would want to extract the features out of this and somehow integrate these in the future. IMHO, it is a great ROM and would be a waste if it were the last and only ROM to have these features. :)

[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
You seem to be confusing a few terms, but it would appear you have MAC address filtering set up in your router. That's generally a false sense of security. It's normal for the wifi to be scanning even when connected.

The exact same thing happened to me about a month ago. I was trying to install B138 and after the update the phone turned off once and for all :P

Relax people the update process was ALMOST complete, that beeing said the phone is "clean" with no traces of rooting or other tampering. Take out your memory card and send it for service. They'll change the mainboard and all is well. Apart from the "waiting for a month to return" part.

If Wind Hellas and Huawei Greece actually managed to repair it for free everyone else is bound to do it too.
