[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjcuthbertson:
I've ust got my Streak and I think it's great, if a little large for holding to my ear. I have found a weird problem though. When first turned on, it found an OTA update to 2.2.2, so I applied that.

Now (obviously I don't know about 2.2) the battery indicator goes in reverse. When it indicates 100% it means "I'm empty, tough luck." When it indicates 1% it means "Right, I'm full now, time to unplug me."

I've tried using Battery Calibration, and I have a couple of battery apps/widgets, but they all exhibit the same behaviour. I'm thoroughly confused.

As it's only a few days old I'm loathe to flash a new unofficial ROM in case I have to return it.

Any ideas?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjcuthbertson:
This is annoying...

Well, it still did it after the factory reset. It seemed to be OK, then I had to swap SIMs around when it was going down and after the Streak rebooted it started counting up again. :(

I'm now working on the charge-from-flat to 100%, then factory reset, then discharge until flat cycle, see if that changes anything.

After the factory reset when fully charged, I'm now discharging it with wifi/youtube continous display.

It's now been 3 1/2 hours and it's still reading full/100% :confused:

If it doesn't get its act together I'm sending this thing back! I have a ZTE Blade, and I've never had the annoyance this Streak has given me... Gorgeous display or not, I don't want to be wondering everyday just how long I may have left before it dies. :mad:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjcuthbertson:
OK, now I'm really cheesed off.

I charged it (off) for about 15 hours.

This morning at 09.55 utc I turned it on, did a factory reset, and unplugged it. The battery status at this time was full, 100%

Using a wifi feed I used youtube as a method of discharging the battery.

Three hours later, at 12.55 utc it still read full, 100%

Just now, at 14.15 utc it turned itself off.

Point 1. I would have thought just over 4 hours of video playback was unexpectedly short.

Point 2. When I plugged the Streak back into its charger, still off, the battery icon flashed up saying 100%.

Can anyone explain what might be going on?

[Defy General] teachmeenglish:
I have spent a few hours reading the forums and getting understand things, but one never knows if one really understand things until one summarizes it themselves and asks others to confirm it. So, my situation and summary are below. Do I understand???

I live in South Korea and got the MB525. I like it very much, but I have SK Mobile. The last straw came when they installed even more stuff on my phone (like Korean social network programmes) without my permission, using some form of auto-update even though I had that disabled, and now will not even let me turn off auto update on those programmes. Also had a problem on a trip to Malaysia where the Korean emergency number (119) was the customer service number for Maxis - hence calling customer service got me the fire department!! I am just tired of having so many junk programmes on my phone and not having real control over the phone.

The phone runs 2.1-update1 and I would like to instal a generic version of 2.2 or 2.3 (that is cy7, an unofficial version of 2.3 right). I would like a version that is not country specific, but in English. By doing all this I hope to be able to have complete control over my phone, not have troubles using it internationally (sim is already unlocked but things like emergency numbers being programmed in), and be able to install and uninstall any programmes. I hope that by doing this SK Mobile will not be able to install any of their own software and that I can uninstall anything I do not like. I do not think I need moto-blur (do I???), so a version without that is better, I think.

While new to phone technology, I am good with computers and have my own web site, so I think I have the ability to do the upgrade per the 'All in one Defy Beginners guide' (Serious thanks for that). I'm sure I can figure out how to flash it properly, so no worries there.

My first question is what version/package would others recommend so that I have an English version that works internationally / meets my requirements. My second question is do I understand thing right above and am I on track, and my third question is what am I not thinking of?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for such a long post but too much is new all at once.

TME
[Defy General] pachuau86:
haha... yes CM7.1/MIUI or pretty much the other roms wont give you any trouble using it internationally, and yes if you install cm7.1 they(SK mobile) wont be able to 'update' your phone... and yes just follow the guides carefully and your good to go... Good Luck
[Defy General] MaxLe:
Since your phone is for SK, then I'm sure that most of the ROMs in here won't have no problem with your Defy.

I suggest CM7 for the function, and MIUI for the theme lovers.

DeBlur is absolutely, since that function just make troubles instead of goodies. Emergency Calling ? Um... not tried editting yet.
[Defy General] teachmeenglish:
OK, thanks for the help above :)

But, next question. My phone runs 2.1 - update 1, but is I think Eclair version. I bought it in Dec, 2010. I have decided my first step is to upgrade to 2.2 and see how that goes.

But from the how to guide the bit below is very confusing:

CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 / Chinese (Éclair)

CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair)

CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo)

CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (Gingerbread)

How do I relate version numbers listed on my phone (2.1) to the list above? I assume I want 3.4.2 but how can I understand version numbers so i do not make a mistake?

As my goal is to upgrade to a version that I can downgrade to 2.1 if needed for warranty reasons, I need a fixed SBF for Froyo. Can anyone give me a specific link to such a SBF version?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions. The learning curve is a bit steep.

[Defy General] rishi2100:
Why don't you upgrade from official site.....

can you provide link to the guide you mentioned...

Root your phone (using superoneclick), install 2nd init, after that just flash CM7.1, no need to worry about sbf for CM7, although there is a recommended base ROM, im using it just fine flashing it over my original rom... dont know about others though...

Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.

Features of CWM include:

- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps

- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)

- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file

- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'

Amongst others...

Use ROM manager only for updating CM7 version once you're using CM7. WHen you flash an AOSP ROM for the first time it is better to do it manually via CWM with a full wipe.

Hi there,

Hopefully someone can help because my brain is melting here. Basically I spoke to orange customer services the other day because of totally poor signal. He told me to switch to GSM only, which was fine and I know it can improve your phone signal. The thing is, it's now stuck on there, whenever I try to change it to WCDMA it automatically switches back to GSM?

Any body got any ideas?

Cheers

Ian
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I feel your pain. I am also a long-suffering Orange customer. Everything was fine until they climb into bed with T-Mobile. Since then my signal has been so erratic I simply can't trust things like Google Maps to work as navigation. Orange have left me stranded twice bombing out the 3G just as I need it to get home.

Anyway, how exactly did you switch to GSM only? There are a couple of ways of doing it.

Menu> Settings> Wireless & Networks> Mobile Networks> Network Mode = GSM/WCDMA auto.

I suspect it was this one. If this is the method that is changing back to GSM, then try this one;

Open you dialer, and dial *#*#4636#*#*

This will open a hidden testing menu, from this select 'Phone Information'

Scroll to the bottom and see what the 'Set Preferred network type:' is set to.

Mine works well with both GSM auto (PRL) and GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

See if selecting one of these helps.

Let me know how this goes. :)
[HTC Desire S] iang123:
Hiya mate,

Yeah I gave that a try earlier. It seems I have to either have a good phone signal or crap data and vice versa? Pain in the ass. Orange told me that it was because of a faulty telephone mast in my area that has been off since last week. Can't see that being right to be honest, since my signal has been ****e since I first got it in April. Thing is, my sister was having the same problem with poor signal, and she wrote to some higher up person at orange to tell them about it. It ended up with her getting out her 2 year contract, bonus! I'm just going to ring and keep complaining and then write to this person my self, and hopefully I can get out of it my self. Orange is the worst network I have been on!

Cheers for your reply :-)
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I might give that a try. I still have a year left, but would love to jump ship and move back to Vodafone. I only went with Orange as my girlfriend was on Orange and magic numbers meant free calls. She then went and screwed things up by moving in! Now I don't need to ring her so much! (facepalm)

My housing estate has a dirty great big cell tower mast at the top of it. My fillings could receive a text message. But even with max strength signal still the 3G is off and on so erratically it's not worth using. They keep telling me that "the cell tower in my area is being worked on" too. That's been their excuse since February.

I have no idea I'm afraid why your phone wont stay on a WCDMA setting however. How are your APN settings? Mine once roamed to T-Mobile without me noticing and would only do 2G.
[HTC Desire S] iang123:
Yeah my girlfriend is my magic number too, and I live with her as well.. Doesn't make a great deal of sense really does it?

When I used to do a manual scan for other Networks the following would show up;

T-Mobile 3G

If I try to connect to T-Mobile 3G it wont let me. The one that is just 'T-Mobile' doesn't have anything more than 2G. What happened was my Orange signal dropped out, so it jumped onto the 'T-Mobile' one without me noticing. It then didn't go back to the Orange 3G when I got home.

I just tried it again and got;

Orange

T-Mobile UK

The 2G/3G variants seem to have been dropped and merged into a single provider for each network. I can connect to T-Mobile but still only seem to get 2G.

See which one your connected to. It might be that although we are allowed to use T-Mobile for calls/texts the deal doesn't include 3G.
[HTC Desire S] iang123:
Yip, that's exactly it mate. I go on tmobile and I can get only 2g, I connect to orange and it let's me have 3G. It jumps between the two networks, and as I have poor orange signal all the time it auto jumps to tmobile! So basically it looks like I'm stuck to 2g if I want to actually speak to anyone! At least now I know what the problem is, but it still doesn't make me feel any better about having to make the choice, and having to constantly check which network I'm on before knowing why I'm getting either poor 2g or poor phone signal. What a headache!

Cheers for your help, much appreciated!

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Lately, I've noticed some **** with o2 as well which as I previously recall always had good service, since I been with them for as far as I can remember. I'll have full 2G signal, and randomly the data will shut off. Sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for hours. But the phone signal remains on full... it's weird. And 3G coverage seems to be getting worse instead of better. None of this makes sense either since in March o2 apparently rolled out 900 Mhz 3G across most major UK cities, meaning 3G service on a 2G band, meaning much better 3G service in areas where only 2G service was previously good. I ain't seen **** all of an improvement, like I said it seems to be going the opposite way.

UK used to be ahead of the game when it came to cell networks, it seems most other countries have not only caught up, but jumped miles ahead. 4G is pretty standard in the US now, and they were so far behind in cell networks only a few years ago.

Backup of Efs folder

Deteled nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 in Efs folder

Put back new/modded nv_data.bin in Efs folder

Reboot

With non-Orange network sim, Tab still asks for a network unlock code

I took back "new" nv_data.bin to computer to read it, and byte 0x181469 have been changed back to 01

nv_data.bin.md5 created in folder (or taken from .nv_data.bak.md5)

If you read joined nv.log, you can see that my modded nv_data.bin has been replaced by backed one (due to nv_data.bin.md5 file deleted) :

Thu Oct 13 00:08:42 2011: MD5 open fail. (No MD5 file) : /efs/nv_data.bin.md5

Thu Oct 13 00:08:42 2011: backup NV restored.
