[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gharwen:
I face a strange behavior while connecting to WiFi.

When I configure the WiFi settings to use a static IP at home with a Speedport router from Telekom everything works fine. I get a connection imediately. (Security credentials are WPA2-PSK/AES).

But when I try to connect to a Cisco environment (1142 access points with 5508 controller with the same security credentials as at home) after PSK authentication the phone start with DHCP requests instead of using the configured static IP and I don't get a connection.

First I thought it was of the ROM or the device but I tried different ROMs (stocks and customs) and different devices (Defy and Galaxy S). Everytime the same thing.

A laptop or an iPhone can connect without any problem using a static IP.

It seems that the controller or AP sends something to the phone telling it to ignore the staic IP settings...

Strange!!!:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mekanixz:
so, there are guides on how to do this and that but there are somethings that I don't understand....

for example what is and how do you enter:

hotboot,fastboot,recovery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vimjam:
FASTBOOT : Fastboot is a command line tool used to directly flash the filesystem in Android devices from a host via USB. It allows flashing of unsigned partition images.

RECOVERY :

All Android devices ship with a recovery console that is basically a partition on the device’s internal memory and can be booted into. The stock recovery of almost all Android devices provides a few basic yet handy options that allow you to factory reset your device and also to recover its operating system using an official ROM in zip format, but that’s all you can do with it. That’s where a custom recovery comes handy.

A custom Android recovery basically replaces the stock recovery with one that lets you do all you can do with the stock recovery, plus a plethora of more options to give you a lot more control on your device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates including apps, themes, kernels etc. using zip files, wipe not just user data but pretty much every partition on your device, mount the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe Dalvik cache and battery stats, fix permissions, perform, manage and restore backups and so on.

Sorry for the double post!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flakinarist:
now you are offending me. it was just my opinion about facecrap...

it must not be inside an operating system of a phone. but as an addon it is ok. but please not inside an os!

it is like ketchup inside vanilla pudding. some may like it but it is nothing for all others.

also i don't understand why facebook controlles so much peoples lifes...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1K3E:
I dont use facebook often the extras with facebook inside are just that they are extras and i thought people may find usefull, they are not available freely so that is why i asked. If you dont find it usefull then perhaps you should look at posts, threads that you do find usefull

I did not ask for it to be included as part of o.s. but as how we could add as an extra.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bipbop:
Hello,

I just love inspire 4g and would like to buy one, but I live in europe.

I need 2100 band to use 3G network.

Is it possible that after flashing the Desire HD radio, inspire 4g would have 2100 band available ? I know that Desire HD has 2100 available ...

Thank you for any response,
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Nope - the hardware radio supports 850, 900, 1800, 1900. No way to change this through software.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
why wouldnt you just buy a Desire HD? they are the same phone, except the inspire says AT&T on it
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
All the Desire HD models and the inspire support 850, 900, 1800, 1900 for gsm. But only the european desire HD supports 900,2100 for the higher speed data bands. The inspire and telus desire HD supports 850,1900 for its higher speed data. No software or ROM can change this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
What he^ said. Please search before opening a new thread as this has been covered Thousands of times over the years. If the phone is not set to handle a certain data band, nothing you can do short of swapping out the antenna will change it.

[Motorola Droid 3] cyclonmaster:
I wonder if Droid 3 have any way to add USB Host capabilities on it? To owner, do you experience any problem/complaint of this phone so far? I'm thinking to purchased one Droid 3.

Btw, when Ice Cream Sandwich released, any word from Motorola to give Droid 3 and update too? I wonder if ICS will give USB Host capabilities.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] SchwassKIN:
USB Host

I have been working with the hardware end of this with no luck. I have tried wireing a micro usb hub, both powered and non powered. NO LUCK.

A bump on usb host support would be nice.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
ICS is supposed to have USB hosting although Motorola has not announnced the D3 as being on the list of phone getting the update in the near future. I wouldn't worry about waiting for Motorola though, it seems that we have devs already booting it up on the D3. Even if you prefer it with motoblur, after an update is released for the Bionic, it will likely be ported to the D3 within days.
[Motorola Droid 3] SchwassKIN:
I guess this is as good of news as possible. Any idea on a time frame?
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Hashcode posted a bootable port of ICS for the D3 on 11/29. While it lacks function of just about everything you would want in a smartphone, it does mean that he his already well on his way to getting a functional version of CM9 (ICS on steroids) ready for our phones. If I had to guess, I would say that we should see a beta version available before the end of the year.

On the other hand, if you want to wait for an official Motorola release of ICS, then I wouldn't plan on seeing that until late Feb. at the earliest.

Is it possible to backup the phone before root?

So if I have to return the phone I can restore the radio and rom and kernel from odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
No you can't. But you can check if you can find your current firmware here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The only way is to root then backup but you have a rooted phone as backup which voids warranty and in that case you would be better downloading a stock Samsung rom .

Installing that will remove root .

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabx:
Hello,

I was running cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG with no problem, and decided to install official Cyanogenmode.

I think I made a mistake when deciding to flashtool first this image :MT15i_4.0.A.2.368_HK.ftf

Then I couldn't boot anymore, just black screen.

Recovery not working, with volume button or fastboot recovery image.

Then I flashtool LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.ftf.

The flash succeed, but can't boot. Black screen.

Then I tried to fastboot this firmware : LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic_Global_system

FAILED (remote: partition not found)

How can I get out this issue?

No boot, just black screen when phone is power on.

TY

Edit : I can not use flashtool as it asks me to turn on unknown sources and debugging, but can't boot!

Edit2 : followed this topic :[Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones (http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1126358).

Flashed was OK, but still can't boot. Black screen

Edit3 and last : finally booted . Flashtool again BUT placed the loader.sin in the subfolder /loader!! My phone couldn't boot as the loader was not installed.

Shame on me.

Don't know if this is the right forum to ask help for this question since this is my first time here.

Well, i've tried both miui and cyanogenmod. I wanted to get back to stock rom, but my problems start here.

It wouldn't let me restore previous backup. It says it's done, but when the device reboots it get's stuck at the LG logo.

My backup is gone now.

I had to flash cyanogenmod again to use the phone.

It won't even let me do a factory reset. Still stuck at LG logo.

I've flashed backtoext3 and tried to flash custom rom, but i only get "installation aborted".

Now i have no clue how to get back to the original rom on my lg.

Can anyone help me please?

Ps. I have CWM recovery, and i don't have a backup of my stock rom.

Sorry if this is looks like a mess and for my bad English.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] muskamj:
Before this forum was made, I was trying to find a car charger that would actually work. The majority of the ones sold on Amazon are just micro USB chargers, which obviously don't work for the a100. I found this one on another forum, so I bought one:

mobile.walmart.com/ip/Car-Cord-Adapter-with-Polarity-Switch/15050431

But when I tried another similar wall charging product, I had to exchange my tablet for a new one because the battery stopped charging entirely. So my question is, is this product (with the proper voltage settings, of course) safe to use?

This is the thread I found the product on:

acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-a100-general-discussion/1168-car-charger-2.html

A few people there claim it works, but I trust xda a lot more. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks, and I'm anxiously awaiting, like everyone else, some custom roms on this nice little device.

Car charger specs

After several calls to Acer, I was able to have then confirm that the maximum voltage that should be applied to the A100 is 12 volts DC.

Your car is capable of producing 13 to 15 volts DC while running. Failure to use a REGULATED 12 volt charger could fry your tablet. Your tablet will draw aprox 1.5-1.8 amps while running AND charging. Anything that is capable of delivering 2 amps or better will be fine. A charger rated at 5 amps will Not ham your unit, it is just capable of delivering the required power with room to spare.

NEVER attempt to charge via USB, there is NO physical connection between the USB port and the battery charging circuit.

I have not been able to get the size specifications for the charging plug from Acer. If I can find my caliper kit I will measure mine and post it here.

Hope this helps.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ED2O9:
I picked up a +12V voltage regulator from Radio Shack and soldered it into a cheap Chinese charger I found on Ebay, and it works perfectly. The regulator is only rated at 1.5A, but I'm never using my A100 while it's charging in the car.

Considering the minimal voltage change, I doubt that additional .3 amp draw would overheat the regulator anyhow.

Hey all,

As I've posted occasionally on other messages, my O2X was a launch device which had BSOD problems. Had hoped that LG would fix with software but alas no so sent for repair and now have it back all flashed to stock.

Question is what now. I'm going on the basis that they've fixed it (lord knows I want to believe that!).

I had previously installed FR19 which I liked for near to sock google feel.

But I feel that I should use this chance to go to a GB rom.

Has their been a poll done recently on what ROM peeps are using and their recommendations?

Would love this or your guys opinions on what to use.

Thinking either modaco GR4, Cyn nightlies or Cyn 7.1.

I would love as stable as possible as use it as main phone.

What do you guys think?

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
No issues on topogigi 1.9 apart from a spontaneous restore rebooting once.. fixed with a rom backup
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Gr4 all the way :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
if you don´t mind reflashing new versions quite often : CM (for me)

i like daily development ...
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
think I'm going to try 7.1.

But will first flash a new BB.

End of the day nothing to lose as it's stock at the moment and sadly didn't backup correctly before I sent it off.

What's the best way to backup apps and settings etc?
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
IMHO go for topogigi 1.9. It is stable enough for an everyday use, light and super fast (combined with the V6 SuperCharger and the HorsePower kernel).

But if you have to choose between "GR4, Cyn nightlies or Cyn 7.1", choose CyanogenMod. It is more stable than GR4. And BTW CM 7.1 is nothing more or less than a nightly version.

EDIT: Use Titanium Backup for backing up all your apps and system data, although I don't recommend backing up system data, especially when upgrading from froyo to gb.

(OFFTOPIC: I hate this five minutes waiting time when editing, it is sooo irritating...)
[LG Optimus 2x] Fulwood Sedge:
I agree, the best is titanium backup. For me because of the. Batch backup which I have set to run every Wednesday and Friday at 10pm just so it backs any new apps iv got and also I really like the market links as I haven't found another backup which does it (haven't looked that hard as I found TB quickly). You have to be rooted to be able to do this, just I case you were wondering.
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Thanks all for the messages, will give horse kernel a go. but whats the difference between the 32bpp and the 24bpp downloads?

Also any recommendations on baseband to use? Was going to get the 725 GB one from modaco if that'll work?
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
The 32BPP version uses more resources than the 24BPP. You will also see a slight difference in vividness compared to the 24BPP. I recommend you to use the 24BPP, because I personally think it is enough for the O2X.

As for a baseband, I can't say for sure which one is the best, because some say it is 725, other say it is 622. I am using the 725 baseband and I am happy with it.
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Dude, you're being a ledgend tonight thanks for the quick replies!

I'm now getting 725BB but cannot see a GB version so hopefully got the right one. Just seeing what other tweaks I want to make then I'll crack on.

Thanks again
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
You are welcome :)
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
All I can say from last night and this morning is....WOW

Installed topogigi 1.9, the SP, horsepower kernel, GB BB (725) and then the BGB theme.

Phone feels miles better than before.

Only thing I've noted is used Set DNS to speed up market but it gets granted super user every time from wake therefore slowing the startup.

Can live with a slightly slower market and therefore deleted it.

Cheers all
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
SetDNS grants superuser permissions every time from wake because your Wifi/3G is turned on at this moment. A way to get around this is to set Wifi sleep policy to never but this will drain your battery faster. :)

Haha I was same as you in terms of would it be worth sending it off.

Carphone warehouse inform me they replaced the main PCB and reflashed back to v10D on 405? BB (thats the only bit I could confirm they have defo done).

I've had it for 24 hours now, charged by mains twice, once on stock and once on topogigi 1.9 with HP kernel. No BSOD as yet. First time on stock was at work when I was almost guaranteed a BSOD, so fingers crossed.

It has got quite hot when I was downloading and installing apps last night, but no BSOD. Been hot a few times today as well but so far so good.

Will report back in a few days and let you know if it's still OK.
[LG Optimus 2x] ciorde:
i used topogigi 1.9 with the "original" built in kernel (neoblaze), but i was not satisfied, due to some strange issues/bugs.

for the moment i would recommend you the following ROMs as really stable and having a good battery management:

- topogigi 1.7 SP1

- DJDroid 1.0 (i'm using that at the moment).
