Hi,

I'm a quite newbie in the htc android tweaking world, so please be a bit understanding.

I know that there was a thread like this on this forum, but I couldn't find now. I'm sorry for that. If anyone can point me that thread, I will paste my post there, and ask for closing this one. I know that it is annoying when users create multiple threads with the same topic.

Well, I bought my phone on an auction as British T-mobile branded, but sim lock has been removed. I used it in Poland without problem, but when I got to Belgium I started to have major issues with Base network.

Since the phone had simlock removed not legal way, I S-offed with revolutionary (my HBOOT since then is in version 6.something - is this good or bad?), then rooted, finally debranded by installing original, signed Europe ROM, although I tried several roms before.

I used ClockworkMod as my recovery tool, but recently I read that it is deprecated, so I flashed it with 4ext recovery. I'm happier with the new tool.

Anyway, My problem is that before I could not use any simcard from BASE, the phone refused to connect saying that sim card refuses the connection.

It was with any andy version, so I actually applied the 1.47.401.4 update that everyone hates, and I didn't see any difference.

Then, very recently I found a post about a new radio version 20.48.300822U_3822.09.08.20_M. I applied it, and also copied the RIL files. It got better, I finally can connect. I had to drink for that ;) Two months of fighting...

But every time the signal drops badly, the phone disconnects from the network and refuses to connect again saying that sim card doesn't allow connecting this network, and shows notification that BASE network is unavailable. Despite that, GPRS data connection is active, and I can connect to internet. Isn't that odd?

Then I need to reboot to 4EXT, and whipe Cache and Dalvik cache. It usually happens once per day - at my work, where I have quite network signal. Supprisingly after cache whiping, the phone can connect, and it seems that signal strength gets better...

I'm glad that after clearing the cache everything works, but I would be even more happy if I wouldn't have to do it... Does anyone know the problem? Has experienced something like this? Has a solution?

Should I use the new 2.3.5 based official rom? Can I transfer data somehow, so when I flash the phone, I still have the data that was there before flashing?
[HTC Desire S] Jan_Joris:
Hey, i'm on Mobile Vikings wich uses the BASE network but i never had anything like this before, could it be a kernel issue?
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Too much to read, Man

Make it short :(
[HTC Desire S] jacqu:
In short:

My phone was original British T-Mobile branded. I s-off my phone, rooted, changed roms but I still had no connectivity to Base in Belgium. I tried experimental roms, original roms, branded roms, radios... but nothing changed. After switching to original HTC European rom, applying 1.47.401.4 update and flashing the newest radio, I have connectivity, but still in bad signal range, my phone would disconnect from Base, and display me a message that the sim card doesn't allow connecting to this network. Then I need to boot to 4EXT, clear cache and dalvik cache, and after reboot everything works fine for a day or two...

Update:

Today clearing cache didn't work... After searching for network, I select BASE and I get a message saying that sim card refuses to connect to this network. Clearing cache, going to flight mode, just restarting the phone - nothing works... What else can I do?

There is one another thing I find weird - in mobile networks settings, every time I select network mode WCMDA or GSM, it always goes back to "WCMDA/GSM Auto" and I can't chage that.
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 4123551:
Buy proximus or mobistar. I reccomend mobistar, best signal in BE

(I live next to belgium border so i visit belgium a lot :-) )
[HTC Desire S] jacqu:
Yeah, but they have expensive internet. If I had just for calls, I would not buy belgian sim card at all, but use my polish number. Call prices are not that much different in roaming...
[HTC Desire S] jacqu:
By the way, I switched to the new, 2.3.5 OTA update based rom by proxuser, but still no luck.
[HTC Desire S] jacqu:
After many hours of stuggling, searching for answers - I found another thing that helps me: sim card needs to have a pin lock enabled. That's crazy, but works - When I loose my connectivity (described above), I reboot the phone, enter pin and everything works fine... sometimes I need to switch to a drifferent pin locked card first...

It would be better if I had not to do it everytime I loose range... So I see that sim settings are also somehow cached and switching to other sim card that has pin enabled cleans that cache. is there a way to clean that cache without having to switch sim cards?

Where can I find this cache? is it a file that could be deleted (or cleared)? formatting /cache partition, as well as clearing Dalvik cache didn't work, so I guess it is not there...

Because the procedure to renew the connection looks now like this:

1. turn off the phone

2. enter sim card that you know that will connect

2. boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot

3. provide pin and wait until it connects to a network

4. power off, switch card to the belgian one, power on

5. wait until it connects by it self. if it doesn't start from point 1...

it usually catches after 1 or second time...
[HTC Desire S] jacqu:
agh, ity only worked for some time... now nothing works... I can not even connect to BASE using any other sim cards that are in roaming... I'm able to connect with other mobile phones, but not this... But it connects to Mobistar and Proximus without problems... I'm suspecting some kind of a defect that appears only with this network. But since I don't have warranty to that phone, I can't send it to the service...

I will try to return to stock rom again...

Now I'm using the phone with my Polish sim card in roaming, but actually I can't use internet then, and all I wanted it for was mobile networking... For a phone just for calling and sending messages any other phone that costs half of the price would be ok...

I have to uninstall RCB first before installing OMEGA ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No, but you should not have both turned on at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
Thanks.

If omega will replace functionality or RCB, and add more functionality then RCB have, and if I/WE previously bought RCB because there were not such thing as omega now, do we have omega which is extension of RCB, cheaper than others who has not buy RCB and are starting with omega ?

(this is only curiosity question, i am not going to suggest you anything, only asking)

Is omega going to replace RCB completely in future ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No and no. Omega will be more expensive, RCB continues to be supported.
[Android Apps and Games] Cuppeerr:
This looks tight!

Swyped from mah synergy evo!
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Hi there,

Nice app, I love the new look, and I love the way that you can configure blocking options using lists. It's a perfect way.

Two questions:

1) Is CMB be password protected ala RCB?

2) Is CMB gonna have an option to hide it?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes and yes, look in the op! I think these features will be added by monday.
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Oops, sorry I was so excited after seen the lists feature that I didn't realize that you already said it in the opening post.

BTW, I love to see that virtual private conversation feature.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Hello

Again in very early in review like RCB

Dear it seems better thn RCB, just tried different blocking action, blocks call perfactly, But as it says caller hears music with 'answer and hold' scenario, i didn't get music(of course as caller)

SGS 2.3.4

More review will post soon
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So what do you get using "hold"?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Please guys, help spread the word by posting this thread to facebook, +1 ing the blog post and tweeting the OP. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] tiktok1:
virtual private conversations

This sounds interesting and possibly what I have been looking for.

Will it hide logs and texts for 'outgoing' calls and sms to selected contacts ?

Will it be possible to sweep and hide any residual calls and sms logs with selected contacts when the app is activated ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It will do private conversations next week, its a priority feature and half the work is done already!
[Android Apps and Games] DreamWiva:
It rings twice and then theres silence

EDIT: Just to add, the reject option doesnt actually hang up the caller, it just stops ringing very quickly with the line still running from the callers side

EDIT 2: My bad, got mixed up with the list actions and the profile actions, works great :)
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
You question direct me to solution. I got you have used scenario like you gettind same responce wen smone put you on hold

Just to note that to use this function you shud enable call waiting (setting -call setting-voice call - enable call waiting, this is operator service)

Itz not music but varies from your operator, my operator giving voice msg- "your call has been put on hold, please wait.. "
[Android Apps and Games] MoosePMed:
I didn't use RCB, I only discovered it close to the release of Omega, so I figured I'd wait. Can you clarify how the app will work if you have "All contacts" allowed (with a contact having an 800 number) and "1800*, 800* being always blocked?

I.e. I have a work contact that always calls from an 800 number, but I don't answer any other toll free numbers.

Will the "All in contacts allowed" override the 800 block by default for that one number?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can prioritize lists! Theres a little drag icon on the right.
[Android Apps and Games] MoosePMed:
Awesome... I was hoping that is how it worked.

I really like the Sense interface and loved it on my g1.

This phone has the same chipset as the HTC Wildfire so I know it has the performance power to run it smoothly. So lets do try and get a poll going so I can see if anybody else agrees. We could all pitch in .50cents to a dev and see what he comes up with.

Plz vote.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
well ciaox already working on it and defintely we will get sense for p500
[Optimus One, P500, V General] konnspiracy:
I have been keeping an Eye on his progress but it seems we need some more development help. I figure if enough people vote we can prove enough people are interested.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
If you can develop please jump in. I don't think putting pressure on ciaox is going to help. In fact, it will probably just upset him.

We're all eager for new stuff but we only have a limited amount of true developers, please be patient and offer them encouragement.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Actually ciaox was going to port oxygen( i think), but he is already busy with sense

Hello,

I don't understand how Podcasts are supposed to work in Mango.

* How can I ask a podcast to refresh (manually, not automatically) ?

I can see no button anywhere to update the podcast...

* How can I pin a podcast to the Start Menu and refresh it? It seems I can only pin an episode in particular and not the podcast feed... This makes no sense.

Many thanks for your help.

As if we needed any more proof than having Near Field Communication on the battery, I found Nfc.apk and Nfc.odex in /system/app while getting rid of some of the att bloatware.

Lets all celebrate!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Honestly that isn't much proof - sometimes manufacturers leave crap in their firmware images by accident.

However if you read some of the other threads on NFC, we've actually confirmed that it's there and working to the point of seeing stuff in the logcat when we tap tags - however some additional files needed to be added in order to do that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
So I usually check the news in the morning and today (day before the announcement) I noticed that the web pages were loading super fast so I did Speed test and I'm getting crazy 2mbps/d and 1.3mbps/u! I'm usually in the 200kbps/140kbps. I figure that they're testing out beforehand to make sure its running well. What are you guys getting?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
287k down, 142k up. Central PA. But if I remember, NYC was @ the same. My 4G in NYC was like 9M down and 3M up? Cannot remember. My phone USUALLY flys as it is on 3G and I never really think about it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
It would be nice, I have never seen 3G speeds on any CDMA network in my area above 500k - including Verizon, I actually see better more consistent speeds with Sprint than VZW.

I have my doubts though, living in the sticks really does have advantages, but stuff like this sucks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anoroc44:
I just did the speed test and on 3g i got 2.34mbps down and .64 mbps up. Those are pretty standard numbers for me. I do have an airave at home so don' know if that is making a difference.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
My bad, I did not have my glasses on. 2.8Md/1.4Mu (missed some zeros). All Networks are improving 3G (the currently majority of their base model phones) by using different forms of compression for greater speeds. Oh well..........
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
I lost 3g data connectivity entirely today. I have full bars like I usually do but can't get any data through.
[Motorola Photon 4G] strudel.chris:
My data connection is suddenly being very intermittent, too.

:confused:

I'll try updating my PRL and Profile.... See if that helps at all.

My websurfing is flaky as heck, my Google Talk connection keeps going in and out (and taking a long time to re-login) and I can't seem to update the Android market.

I had just run the "supercharger v6" script, but that shouldn't affect my data connection.... right????
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Well let's hope for the best. I'm getting full bars everywhere in Anaheim, CA and speed is constant. I just watched my first youtube video without a single hiccup on 3G :eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] cutter2668:
3g improvements

I have also noticed improvements in 3g speed from ohio to texas, been testing at points from columbus to dallas fort worth, have seen 2 meg speeds in fort worth and consistently higher speeds overall.

My guess is with the onset of the IPHONE on sprint, sprint has had to get their 3g act together as the IPHONE does not support LTE or WIMAX it is solely 3g so they cannot afford to continue to piss people off with poor 3g performance. I am now seeing the high speeds I used to see before the smartphones came along with my sanyo mm 9000.
[Motorola Photon 4G] diomark:
3g in my house is usually ~1mb down / 700kb up or so..

Just did a test - 300kb down / 500kb up. This is in the suburbs of san francisco..

(I think we're feeling the iphone saturation..)
[Motorola Photon 4G] MinceMan:
I used to get ~1mbps down but in the least three months I've only been getting 30-150 kbps down and 30 kbps up. Totally unusable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max621:
Hi All,

After using HTC for almost 4 years and also purchased HTC SENSATION first but after two weeks of horror i switched to SII and it rocks..... No more HTC in future hopefully :-)

Now question is ....

Is there any command or code to findout that how many hours phone used since manufactured... e.g. in WM 6.1 in settings there was a tab to see that how many hours phone utilised and that can't be reset....

Actually my phone is slightly used according to seller its 4/5 days used ... now i just want to findout the actual usage before making the final payment

Regards
[Samsung Infuse 4G] phoneman108:
I think i BRICKD it.....

I was performing a Restore to STOCK using Odin 3 v 1.7 and the GTG's UNBRK files from here.

The process failed while the phone was in Download mode.

Now all I get is

An icon which looks like

A Cell Phone ........Exclamation Mark (in orange).......... Computer

The phone is not responding to any of the buttons:

1. No power down... I have to remove the battery and then no matter what I do, power on or else, it shows the same icon

Any one else been here?

Any way to FIX this or am I SOL?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
I believe this is in the wrong forum but I understand your panic. Don't take my word for this but I believe you need a USB jig to get out of this. Or unless try this:

1. Pull battery for 15-20 seconds

2. Re insert battery

3. Hold volume up/volume down while plugging in USB cord from computer

4. If it succeeds you should be in download mode!

P.s. Sorry if you have already done this, i'm just attempting to help you troubleshoot :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
I believe this is what you're seeing..

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmatt78:
Like rominator was saying pull battery hold volume buttons replace battery insert USB cord will turn on in download
[Samsung Infuse 4G] phoneman108:
Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, that is the exact thing I am seeing and No, that Vol Up + USB insert still gives the same icon.

What is a USB jig? and where do I get it?

Many thanx and sorry for posting it in the wrong forum... perhaps, admin can move to the right one.... yes, it was panic.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
Uhh, I haven't gotten stuck on that on my Infuse I don't think, but with the Captivate the solution was to hold vol + and - and power at that screen until it rebooted, then let go of power and it would fall back to download mode.

And yes, this is not development and should be in the general section.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
EDIT: Did you hold BOTH volume up and down as you plugged in the usb?

USB Jig :)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0053H73JQ/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&condition=all

It's been reported here in the forums that IT DOES work. You might want to search around to confirm that. Or, if you want quick help you can possibly explain more of what you did to get your phone to this point.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
Jig Does work!!!

i made at the job not to long ago....took me a while to get the right resistance, but it got it into download mode.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] phoneman108:
Yes, I meant to write Holding BOTH Vol+ and - and USB insert.

Here are the steps that I got me here... one step is completely stupid....

1. Yesterday, I was trying to get 3e recovery, so got the zip file

2. MISSED this step - of Copying the recovery file to SD Card.

3. Renamed the old recovery in the bin folder to _old

4. Rebooted and then used the ROM Manager to reboot into Recovery.... Bad idea - The phone went blank....

5. Only solution I saw was to ODIN in the GTG's Ultimate unbrick.....

6. Went into Download Mode....

7. ODIN sees the COM Port.

8. Loaded the .pit and other files per instructions....

9. Pressed START

10. ODIN reports failed.

11. Unhooked the USB and HARD rebooted.... Arrived at this icon.

Yes, i am a noob and am paying for my mistake of overlooking a step.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
You could possibly try heimdall... do you have kies installed (only needed for drivers)? Hmm, I couldn't help you any further w/o actually being there :(

Definitely keep me posted!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Nopcodex90:
I have bricked my phone a few times now . Same error screen and everything, just do the vol + and vol - down trick , let it boot to the error screen and startup odin 1.8 or higher. That part is very important. Odin 1.8 will recognize it as a serial device and write the software . Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] motumbo:
I've been in that icon, but I just tried back with Odin gtg's unbrick and it went through perfectly as always. I got there because I forgot to select the pit file and Odin started to download and it failed.

I think that symbol is the same download mode but in this case you must use Odin because the phone can't startup itself. Just don't panic if it worked for me then it would work for you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
weird because I have used odin 1.7 with success each time..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
Oh yeah, that error screen is a download mode isn't it? I forgot about that. So just use unbrick from there or flash something else you want.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yeah, that error screen is download mode, just like the usual "Construction Android" screen, with one difference:

The phone is forcing download mode because it knows it's hosed up. It's saying "flash something with Odin or you're not going anywhere".

So you're already in download mode - no need for button combos, the phone realized you needed it and went straight there for you.

BTW this doesn't belong in Development.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: its not bricked!!!

Its not bricked!!!

Those symbols only mean that it did not finish the last operation/flashing

Its the same as download mode.

So go back into those "Cell Phone ........Exclamation Mark (in orange).......... Computer"

Which is download mode and start a new flash of the Ultimate Unbrick.

Good luck, be sure to to put PIT to PIT PDA to PDA and PHONE to PHONE

in odin!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] phoneman108:
GOOD NEWS.

That was simple... Followed the suggestions from Nopcodex90 , Mrjunky and all....

Just started ODIN, loaded the PIT, PDA and PHONE files and off it went and am back alive........

You all are so helpful... Thank you all..... I learnt valuable lessons today.....

Now, if I may request the Admin to please move this post to the correct forum ......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigbadwolf311:
That icon is a form of download. You can still connect to odin amd use ultimate unbrick

looks like i some beat me to it. Glad to see your back
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rob1216:
That happened to me other day I just plugged it in Odin like that and it recognized it and did gtg unbrick back to stock, try to restart Odin and try plugging it in like that and see if Odin recognizes it, it recognized mine
