I am having a similar issue. Before, my phone was fast as lightning. Now I lose the 3g signal (drops to 1x) and market always says lost data connectivity. Going to try an sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I've had similar issues it's the past and spoke to VZW about it. They informed me that 4g was being extended to my area and it could cause periodic 3g loss b/c they were dropping towers forcing my phone to lock on further away. Lasted about two wks and things were better.
[Motorola Droid X2] ccortner:
Also losing 3g since upgrading from stock 2.3.3 to eclipse 1.1 (2.3.4). Have to reboot to fix.
[Motorola Droid X2] pieman13:
Thanks for the heads up but my wifes x has 3g all the time and is noticeably faster...a lot faster.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwl123:
My dad bought a xperia arc from newegg and every time he tries to use google maps it force closes and gets the sleep of death and also when he put it on the charger for a long period of time. We sent it back to newegg for another and the new one has the same problem as the last. The phones came with 2.3.3 so I updated to the latest 2.3.4 stock rom and still have the same problem as before. I have no clue what the problem is but was wondering if anyone else hase had this problem and knows a fix for it. I would like to stick with stock for awhile before going custom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelator:
Well right now i have Continuum V6 on my dad's Cappy but as since a few months have passed since i flashes it i want to try something new (mainly because i don't see any thread about this ROM anymore so i think they stopped working on it)

this is a really good ROM it runs as smooth as a hot knife through butter at 1 GHz

i want something like this

i tried CM 7 back then but it wasn't nearly as smooth as this one so i kept this one

i have been tempted to use MIUI but since this is my dad's phone i doubt he would appreciate that ( as there is no app drawer)

so which of the current popular ROMs are you using? how do they work? is the Continuum ROM still around?

atm i have GB bootloaders (though not the ones from AT&T) and talon kernel i would prefer if i didn't had to change any of those i don't really mind if i have to change the kernel but if possible i'd rather not flash new bootloaders (we all know why)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
to dispel myths:

you can have a pseudo app drawer on MIUI with the stock launcher

create a folder, drop all icons into it, and drop the folder onto the dock

OR

run any damn launcher you like on it.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelator:
yeah but my dad won't get used to it and will want me to change it back :P

Nice scripts they are working but if you want them to be safe and without conflicts try removing the lmk settings before Ram differs on most phones

Example: Galaxy ace has 278 mb of ram and Lg optimus one has 512 (Basically is 478 or something).Those lmk settings will mess LG's ram
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Actually, LMK settings should be standard as it represents free RAM (rather than total available RAM).

Only thing that matters for an LMK is that it should be tweaked along the Dalvik LMK. Only tweaking one or the other makes the LMK inefficient.

4.3" seems to be a typo that people are slowly correcting (first person to post this was GSMArena, they had it at 4.3" in the article, but 4.6" in the title, and it has since changed) Also, further speculation shows that the on screen buttons make up for the rest of the pixels (so it truly is 720p) . I believe it is real, and can't wait for it :D

Its basically 4.3" if you don't count the onscreen buttons as apart of the screen, 4.6" with.
[Vibrant General] peddent:
Seems a little odd the button area is deep black and the background above is "greyish" The whole beauty of an AMOLED screen is the black should be pure black. When you look through the menus on the vibrant the text sits on a very deep black background. something is not right with this leaked picture

Well, If you take a closer look at the area below the buttons area. The area below buttons are in DEEPER BLACK.

Hurray, i got the Mango update. Just a note, i actually received an email saying update may be available and it is Mango. Then i connected to Zune and then update available popped up in the Phone.

I am currently updating... my bad, i kept all the media in the phone itself and it is taking time to backup the phone. 7392 completed and backup is going on for 7403. Short text below of it says this major update known as windows phone 7.5 (7403!? never mind... :-) ) so hoping this is the one.

Is there a way to root without flashing an insecure kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shadowskorch:
Thanks a bunch entropy. But i was thinking more along the lines of using superoneclick or something on stock kernel. I've never rooted a Samsung device. I guess the atrix devs made stuff TOO easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cliffgardner:
The devs working on Samsung make it pretty easy too. Odin and One-Click Root have helped me with my original SGS many, many times. Hopefully, we'll see something similar for the SGSII, if it isn't out already. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abacon15:
Yeah, what happened to the good ol days of putting a root file named update.zip and going in to stock recovery to use it? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshyy_rey:
Atrix is not easy haha. this is my second Smasung. once you get to know odin you will reaize its a life saver and sooo easy. you cant brick these things lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i'm pretty sure you can't do that anymore because those flaws were patched.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
I'm pretty new to the samsung rooting world, this is my first real samsung device. What the heck is odin? What is the difference in rooting using superoneclick and Entropy512's method? Sorry for the newb question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Stock recovery won't flash ZIPs not signed by Samsung.

On older devices, the road to CWM that was easiest was usually:

Root, replace recovery with a hacked version that disabled signing checks

However, in later versions of Gingerbread, all of the usual methods of rooting were closed because malware was using the same holes. As a result, SOC is unable to root a device without some "help", and on Samsung devices that "help" is an insecure kernel.

Odin is a program used by Samsung for device updates. It allows flashing of firmware in "download mode". The nice thing about this is that while it's easy to "softbrick" your phone with a bad kernel or corrupted system image, it is EXTREMELY difficult to corrupt the bootloaders used for download mode, especially on newer devices that go to extra lengths to protect their bootloaders from damage. As a result, for example, I know of a total of one hardbricked Infuse and that was the phone of a volunteer performing a dangerous experiment. There's an open-source reimplementation of Odin called Heimdall that a lot of people use, since Odin is Windows-only and Heimdall runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. I use heimdall because I run Linux. :)

The differences between rooting methods are not significant - different ways to achieve the end goal.

Insecure kernel + SuperOneClick - Will trigger "custom binary download" flags in the bootloader, but only requires fairly small downloads (maybe 20MB or so). Requires two steps (flashing the kernel, then SuperOneClicking)

Rooted system image (such as my unbrick) - Should not trigger "custom binary download" flags as the bootloader only seems to check the kernel for modifications. However it's a big download - around 250M if I recall correctly.

If you're going to eventually want to use Clockworkmod Recovery to install alternate ROMs and such, you'll have to install a custom kernel anyway. However my "unbrick" package is nice to have around if you hose up your system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
I'm planning on staying stock no custom kernel, rom or anything on that matter but I really need root. Don't really need CWM. Is there any other way to root beside going back to stock using Odin? I'm to lazy to set my phone back up. Or is superoneclick root working on a solution to easy root like on the infuse?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shadowskorch:
Thanks entropy I'll try your stuff out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
In terms of "back to stock" - it means "back to stock firmware" - it won't touch your data partition, so if you're already on stock firmware, you should retain all your data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
I've had no issues with Entropy's stock+root package. If anything goes wrong, just flash this and your good to go :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TANKFARM:
I have been considering switching to WP7 for a while. The reviews and coverage of Mango have been very positive and I think Microsoft's take on the mobile OS is a nice departure from the iOS model. Also, the lack of an iPhone 5 announcement today pretty much sealed the deal for me in terms of deciding to jump ship. However, I have a few questions that I was hoping some users could answer that have moved from an iPhone to Mango.

Music - How does Zune manage syncing of files, ratings, playlists, etc between your computer and device compared to itunes and iOS?

Pictures - How about syncing photos? I read about the skydrive options, but how about syncing from your computer and storing them directly on the device? I read that photos taken with your phone don't sync as the full size to skydrive, is this still the case? Can you control which folder they are synced with?

Google services - Overall I think the iPhone does a good job handling google servies. Has anyone run into issues syncing with google contacts, such as contact photos, addresses, etc. I also heavily use google voice for sms and with jailbreaking it integrates fairly well with the iphone messaging interface. Is this possible on WP7? I read that their is a program that brings some functionality, but do google voice number sms messages show up in the WP7 messaging feeds?

Email - Both my work exchange account and gmail work fairly well in terms of push support. Also, delete = archiving in gmail (as I prefer), ability to sync sent folders, drafts, etc. are all very well handled. Does WP7 perform as well with gmail and have similar options? How well does it handle push and keeping your device synced with the email servers?

Apps - Are there similar apps such as the iPhone's Remote or a way to control the music running our your desktop? How about programs that Hippo remote or apps that can turn the device into a mouse/trackpad to control a computer on your local network?

File syncing - With skydrive can you store files locally or sync files from the 5GBs of live mesh storage? Similar to how dropbox on the iphone allows you to store some dropbox folders locally so you don't always need internet access.

Anyone have any comments about things they really miss when they switched from iOS to WP7?

Thanks a bunch
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
Dont do it, their are no apps or good games for WP7 and nothing on the horizon either.

Big Developers are exhausted and they just want to concentrate on Iphone and Android market.

Only little apps you find in WP7 are by like little individuals using Windows developer tool from their home and making a dollar app for pinning a tile or another RSS reader. Most of the present apps are exactly the same, doing the same thing with just different names and icon.

You will regret it, Iphone 4S has already beaten most highend WP7 device with their Siri and Camera.. I would suggest wait for Iphone 5 and migrate their.. WP7 right now is not a recommended buy, seeing the present dead Marketplace.. you can swipe and marvel at the metro interface and shi* but thats pretty much it.. you will get bored of it in one month and realize you have reached a deadend with nothing to install, no option to further improvise and utilize your phone beyond listening to music or switching from one app to another which all does the same thing ..

Oh c'mon are you kidding me purple11? Android has the worst quality apps out there.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG2G:
Zune does a good job with media management but a pretty bad job with app management. Synching media is as simple as dragging it from the library to the device icon. There is also wifi sync and the ability to download podcasts over wifi/cellular connections.

I believe Skydrive syncs to a folder called Skydrive Camera Roll and it still does resize images.

Regarding Google services, it does a good job with contacts, calendar, and email. I'm not really too familiar with how it does with google voice.

Regarding file syncing, you can save images and documents to the phone from skydrive.

The main thing you need to be aware of when switching is that the marketplace is still young. Some of us (Purple11 for example) don't really have the early adopter mindset and expect a brand new platform to have all of the apps that a four year old one does.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
Really?

Do you have anything like this for WP7? :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMMPDSkk7Ao

Or even on the horizon? No..

Big companies like Gameloft are not even considering developing games for WP7. Its a fact.. Microsoft Game Studios can only make little one hour games .. or some guy from russia ripping games from Nokia from year 1999 and bringing it to WP7 as free add supported tiny little game.. thats it..

Professional developers and corporations whose business is developing apps and games for mobile platforms are not even considering WP7 to introduce their products here..

http://www.gameloft.com/

We can wait.. but I think this wait will prolong till the launch of W8 Tablets atleast.. and thats a long time.. we will see Iphone 6 by than.. and Ipad 5.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
Microsoft doesn't have the support that comes with being the market leader in cell phones and nets you iOS's scraps. Instead, they have a number of developers developing for Xbox live and now windows 8, both of which offer an easy port to wp7. Given the new APIs the possibilities are endless as to what we'll see over the course of the next few months. While it's not quite up to par with that game graphics-wise, even small time developers are releasing games like "Sword of Rapier" which, while in beta, is an excellent live action RPG. Of course then there are games like ilomilo that are infinitely more polished and smooth than modern combat.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylau90:
Hi OP,for me...I agree with Purple11

IMHO, it is not worth the switch now. Or you will be ended up with regrets.

in regards to your question about google voice,there is no free app can do this. Unless you buy the app.

Honestly,zune is better than itunes in term of music and video management. However, the downside is you can't manage your apps or transfer documents directly to the apps on your phone.

I suggest that you should go for iphone 4s at this moment,if you are still interested in windows phone. Come back here when windows phone 8 is available.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adesonic:
I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch as well as an HD7 so I will try to answer your questions as best I can

1) Syncing Music - Zune does as good a job as itunes for this IMO, playlists, ratings etc. all sync and I much prefer the look and feel of the Zune interface, bear in mind though that (as far as I know) 16Gb is the most storage being suppiled on any WP7 device ATM (unless you are prepared to try and put in your own SD card which can be diffiicult and is only an option where SD cards are used)

2) Pictures taken with the phone camera are still downsied, you can have multiple folders on skydrive. Photos uploaded to skydrive from the PC can be uploaded at original size

3) Google services work just fine for me, I do not use GV so cannor comment on that.

4) There are over 30,000 apps for WP7 ATM, amongst them are many good quality ones. Yes there are apps that do full PC remote desktop control, PC media player control and my favorite Media Buddy which allows me to control my windows 7 Media Centre functionality from anywhere including scheduling recordings and watching recordings streamed to my phone.

5) File syncing, there are all sorts of options here with Office 365 and share point etc. although perhaps someone else can give you a better answer to your question.

Other points I would consider in your position are:

That Siri thing on Iphone looks pretty good, WP7 has something similar but not as full featured as Siri - will that be important?

You will not get a Retina display type resolution on current WP7

You can get HUGE screens on WP7 (Great for me with my bad eyesight!)

You will be different if you get WP7 everyone has an iphone (because it is good) currently, few have WP7
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylau90:
Agree with you,games can be easily port to the WP7. before hand, we need better processor with better graphic ability. If not, the endless possibilities of api and how easy to port a game would be useless...

what you are saying is something like, you have the crysis 2 game, but you using a tegra 2 device. So,whats the point of having the game?you can't play it.

Even the strongest wp7 device out there,HTC titan still using 8255chipset with adreno 205. It is totally no match to iphone 4s A5. A5 graphic power is about twice of the power of samsung galaxy s2 exynos chipset mali400. Can't imagine when A5 compare with qualcomm 8255.

So,stick with iOS for this moment is a better choice. What is attracting you now is only the metro ui of WP7. If you insist want to try WP7 out. Please ask someone with the phone,allow you to play with it for 1day and do your everyday tasks first. Play with demo unit is not enough,because the metro ui will pull you deeper.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphasaic2002:
I find Zune quite limited compared to iTunes. The biggest problem is that it doesn't respect episode numbers in the meta-data; so any podcasts or audiobooks I transfer from iTunes to my WP7 phone appear out of order (listed alphabetically by file-name?).

The other issue is that the WP7 media player is pretty poor. It doesn't feature audio-scrubbing, so you can't jump around inside audio-books, and it doesn't support lyrics. For these reasons I still have to carry around my ipod.

Google contacts sync fine, but other than that WP7 is all bing, no google. The worst part is the Bing Map app, which is barely functional in most regions of the world. No native google voice support, though there are a few apps that can handle it, but they won't integrate into the WP7 OS. Honestly if you're heavily invested in the google eco-system then you're better off going with Android.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
you're saying it can't play the single most demanding PC game ever... Duh... 1ghz is easily powerful enough to play many other games even with the 1ghz processor. Not to mention crysis isn't a windows 8 app and they'd have to re-write it from scratch to make it as such. Windows 8 apps and games are similar to those on our cell phones and will work in part like the ipads apps do. Regardless, from what's been said it looks as though Microsoft may be setting aside some finances to finance a game by Epic studios (makers of infinity blade and gears of war) for windows phone and That I want to see.

Well not everyone uses Office files on phone either, not everyone uses MMS either.. but OP is switching from one smartphone to other.. and when he is buying a smartphone its better to inform him that WP7 not a smartphone.. a shiny wrapper outside, with nothing inside.. not a smartphone just a fecking walkman.. thats it.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphasaic2002:
It's not really a hardware thing; it's an OS issue. XNA for WP7 still doesn't support custom shaders, which puts it behind the graphical capabilities of even the iPhone 3GS.

This is a big issue and is preventing any really great games being ported to the platform.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylau90:
Yea,correct...I just try my best to give OP a fair view about WP7.

Just to add in,there plenty of developers have stop updating their apps for ages,for example: bird song(twitter client), board express for Tapatalk(the only forum app in the marketplace) and etc...

Again,stick with the iphone for this moment,at least until windows phone 8 is released.
