[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
The international SGS2 doesn't like D-Link routers. I don't know if the AT&T version's the same. There's less range with a D-Link for some reason and it wreaks havoc on the battery. It likes Netgear routers.

Wifi is weaker than my captivate was, but the GPS is really good. I got a solid lock in some pretty dense woods while on a hike. Whereas my captivate got awesome wifi but crap gps. I wonder if its a trade off with the antennas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroRilix:
How's the signal on a 2Wire router from ATT for DSL service?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fafik90:
Same issue here. My captivate had a much better reception. I checked at home and at school. Both places it had only one bar in the signal while being only 35 feet away from the router with only one wall in the way. It looses signal when further away while my laptop still has it. I'm connected on 802.11n in both places so maybe its something with that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garrisj:
I also see lower wifi signals compared to iPhone 3gs.the difference isn't huge but definitely noticeable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phaserkb:
I noticed that too. It is weaker than my ex 3GS iPhone as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rickinsav:
Weaker? Indicator?

Has there been any test on SIGNAL STRENGTH versus the number of bars? I don't mean to take a page out of ANTENNA GATE, but just having a fewer number on the display, doesn't actually indicate poorer reception.

For the guy with the 3gs, can you measure with something like speedtest.net? Since transfer speed descrease respective to signal strength, this seems like a good test.

I just bought a SGS II and would really like to know if the indicator is accurate and comparable to other devices and it does have a weaker antenna.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n19htmare:
I didn't wanna make a new thread but same here. Wifi is pretty weak on this phone :(. Fairly disappointed at that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] evodon84:
To beat a dead horse, I am always at 1 or 2 wireless bars versus my IP4 being at full wifi bars. Not sure how its effecting the actual browsing though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ack154:
I will say that my GS2 consistently shows less bars than my iPad and previous iPhone 4(1 or 2 compared to full).... BUT I have yet to have a single issue browsing or accessing anything and speed is still excellent. So it could just be a display issue.

My only problem with that is that if I do really have a bad signal and have a crappy connection I'll never really know - because I'll aways asume the connection is good even though it's reporting low strength.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I've sometimes had my GS2 show extremely weak wifi signal even when sitting right next to my router - but the wifi still works just fine, inconsistently with the displayed signal strength.

So if it's showing weak but working fine, don't worry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
I can agree with this. My router is located very close to my phone and sometimes my phone shows only 1 bar of signal but the overall performance is still snappy and quick. no worries
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AaronStC:
I'm coming from a iPhone 3G. While the SGSII displays less bars it also seems to pick up wireless signals that my iPhone never detected (free wireless downtown).

Also at home in some rooms it shows less than full while my iPhone always showed full but I never noticed it being slow. I think it just displays differently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] toolman129:
From AnandTech

Referring to Cellular connectivity:

"In addition, Samsung makes the mistake of going with a signal bar visualization with very compressed dynamic range. Since the whole iPhone 4 debacle, I’ve seen something of a trend towards a strict linear scale (which makes more sense), but SGS2 definitely doesn’t go that route. It’s not a huge deal however, just something to be aware of. I’m willing to overlook that issue considering that getting the real story on connectivity is no harder than dialing *#0011# and looking at the real number."

Referring to Wifi:

"As with every other radio, we have to do the receive sensitivity dance and make sure nothing is broken. I tested the SGS2 alongside an SGS 4G at my house with both an Airport Extreme (5th Gen) and WRT54G-TM boosted to 184 mW. SGS2 WiFi reception on 2.4 GHz is darn near identical to the previous generation.

There’s something deceptive about this however, and it’s that although Samsung has chosen to go the usual compressed-dynamic-range route with cellular bars, the WLAN bars seem to be more linearized. Thus where I’m used to seeing every other smartphone show max (until you’re right about to fall off), the SGS2 actually doesn’t lie to me and shows fewer bars. Until I ran around and looked at RSSI in dBm, I suspected SGS2 had WLAN sensitivity issues where there don’t appear to be any. One small thing I did notice is that SGS2 (and BCM4330) seems to only connect at long guard interval (eg 65 Mbps maximum for single stream, 20 MHz channels), where SGS1 and BCM4329 connected at 72 Mbps short guard interval."
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] PS4AndroidHacker:
OK guys so I just got my OG Droid in the mail the other day. I rooted it with SOC, installed my ROM Manager Premium,installed CWM Recovery, did a factory data reset,then installed the newest CyanogenMod 7.1. I have been searching the threads and doing homework and I know the Motorola Milestone bootloader is still locked but is the Droid bootloader still locked? I just wanted to ask the question since I could not find a specific thread about this(hence me starting a new one). Can the Droid bootloader be unlocked? I'm also looking to update my radio and PRL. I have the newest SDK, I have QPST, QXDM, and CDMA Workshop on my computer so I know how to change the PRL already but would like some more insight into this from somebody more experienced with the OG Droid than myself. Any help from anybody is GREATLY appreciated! I may have posted in a wrong place but I could not find a specific thread about the "Droid Bootlader" Thanks in advance!:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pomeroythomas:
Yes, the bootloader is unlocked. We wouldn't have proper CyanogenMod support if it wasn't. What do you specifically need to know about flashing?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] PS4AndroidHacker:
You can flash a different ROM without the bootloader being unlocked just to let you know but if you have any info on how to unlock the bootloader for S-OFF I would greatly appreciate it!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] DrGit:
This might be what you're looking for:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259403

T-Mode, AKA "Diagnostic Mode" for flashing the radio - hold T while powering on your Droid.

I don't claim to be an expert, or even knowledgeable - this just looked obvious to me.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] PS4AndroidHacker:
I have read that thread and I do appreciate your help but I'm looking for how to unlock the bootloader for S-OFF. I had S-OFF on my older Sprint HTC Hero200. Once again,help from anybody is greatly appreciated!

Hey, I wrote that! Haha.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] PS4AndroidHacker:
D1 does not have unlocked bootloader

So I've been searching literally all day on how to unlock a Droid1 bootloader and have come to find out that the Droid1 bootloader is locked just as well along with the rest of the Droids in the Droid Line. This is very unfortunate but hopefully Motorola will unlock their bootloader's pretty soon and the rest of the information will take place in this thread.

Here is what I do know:

To access bootloader on Droid1: Hold D-Pad Up while you press the power button.

My bootloader version is 2C.7C

Thanks for help from anybody who participated in this!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] BigSketchySeaBeast:
The bootloader for the D1 has never been locked.....doy.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bmx24:
+1 when i read this i was like what the bootloader has never ben locked for the d1 i think it was the last phone that motorola made that had an unlocked one
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] BigSketchySeaBeast:
When the D1 came out it was meant to be a direct competitor to the iphone of the time. One of its biggest selling points was it's "hackability"...but I do believe it's one of the only, if not the only phone in the "Droid" lineup that has come with a unlocked bootloader stock...some others have been unlocked rather quickly and some not at all.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] binglejellsx2:
Just randomly checking out this section and came across this thread. The Droid Charge also has an unlocked bootloader. Those are probably the only two phones in the Droid line to be unlocked. However, the LG Revolution also is unlocked.

As far as S-On/Off, I've only seen that on HTC phones. I'm no expert, so don't quote me on that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bmx24:
no the first droid incredbile is unlocked too but the droid one was probably the last phone that motorola made that was unlocked
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] taptaptouch:
Motorola would sell alot more phones if they had left their bootloader unlocked and an option to turn blur on/off , xoom bootloader was unlocked im pretty sure but xoom 2 will probably have a locked bootloader and honeyblur :p
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Google_Nexus:
i think motorola and google should be the only ones to make an android phone... if any other maker wants an android phone then they have to use asop and have stick update polices and that each device gets upgraded for atleast 2 or three years to the newest asop code base.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wlmeng11:
That would be like having 5 Nexus phones a month.

I don't think all the manufacturers should ship with AOSP, but they should make it easy for people to put AOSP on it, as some people like Sense/Touchwiz etc, while some people don't.

And of course, they should definitely make AOSP updates available.

(Why would you want Motorola?! They've locked most of their bootloaders and haven't provided an option to unlock them.)

Hi all!

I know that there's a lot of threads with questions similar to mine but after reading many of them I can't really find an answer.

So as my problem suddenly just appeared a few days ago, I'm taking the chance of some good feedback from you guys and girls!

The problem is that my sweetheart suddenly freezes, the screen is on but nothing happens and the only thing to do is to make a hard reset with the power button.

This issue started happening just a few days ago.

The phone is rooted and i'm flashing new roms almost every day.

I'm not exactly sure of which rom I was using when the problem first occurred but it might have been DlevROM2 v.2.1.1...? But like I said before, i'm flashing and testing a lot so I might be wrong!

I've now just done a full reset and flashed the latest CyanogenMod v.7.1.0 but after a few minutes "my darling" freezed. :(

Does anyone know why she keeps doing this to me?

I really love her and would like to have her back the way she was before....reliable and simply amazing! :o

Please!

Best regards!

zwooosh
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PunkOz:
I'm not an expert in this, but try flashing a stock rom just to see if the problem is still happening, if it still happens try formatting your phone from settings > Storage > format SD card and phone. Make a backup in your PC or .. you can wait for an expert to help you in this thread :P

Edit: Make sure ur phone isn't undervolted
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwooosh:
Thanks for the feedback PunkOz!

I will absolutely try that tomorrow!

While sitting here hoping for some answers I actually began thinking of the internal sd and my ext sd and all the data that they have been dealing with lately. Maybe it's like you say, a formatting of them both might be a very good idea!

I use the ext sd first and foremost for my Titanium Backups and I restore/backup a lot so it might be corrupted or just in need of a fresh start.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwooosh:
Time for bed here in Sweden but I appreciate every thought/answer to my problem!

See you all tomorrow!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwooosh:
Hi again!

I don't know if the problem i totally solved but it appears to be!

I've formatted both of my sd-cards (int and ext) and removed some stuff that I wasn't using. This seems to have help me with the occasionally freezing!

So thank u PunkOz!

I just dont get it why everyone is saying that cm7 has much "longeeeer" battery life then sense roms.. cm7 drains like hell man?

screen on for 11 min, and 2 hours in standby and 12% gone.

With sense its much better blife. So AOSP is more drain like sense felace!
[Desire Android Development] island3r:
+1

On sense roms I get ~3mA on standby.

On cm7 it jumps up to ~11mA.

Both roms with the same settings (radio, cpu, brightness, sync, etc)

Agree with you.Last night i use the battery monitor to test the CM 7.1.

and it shows 11~16ma overnight with airplane mode.

So i just return to sense rom.:eek:

I agreet too with the above posts..

The battery usage on standby is huge..noticed that from the first time, months ago, when i flashed CM, even if i still like CM anyway

If you are S-OFF, use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer and delete some stuff,

like /system/tts/*.* files (for DE, ES, EN-US, IT (leave only EN-GB)), two theme files (Androidian.apk and Cyanbread.apk and you can install them as normal apps later),

and some ring tones from /system/media/audio/ringtones (put deleted ringtones on sdcard in dir /media/audio/ringtones).

If you are S-ON remove files above from rom.zip file and reflash.

Good lack.
