[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
@Avazee: The search feature on these forums could be a lot better, but it does exist. You can also just use an external search engine (Bing/Google/whatever) and do a search with " site:xda-developers.com" to find things.

I don't know for sure if it's currently possible to Interop-unlock a Trophy, or any HTC phone. My HD7 is interop-unlocked, but I've heard the method I used (coming from the beta) doesn't work anymore. The usual approaches mentioned to getting interop-unlocked on HTC Mango rely on an app called U2M7720, by ansar.ath.gr. This app provisions your phone through the pre-release Mango update process, which should give you a window between updates where you can interop-unlock Mango.

Using the retail upgrade path will not work. You will need to roll back; nobody currently knows a way to interop-unlock an HTC phone that is already on Mango. Alternatively, there are custom ROMs for HTC phones that provide Mango with interop-unlock already baked in.

I have the deodexed 2.3.5 leak (EP3HA) and I would like to change some stuff to the AOSP version. Primarily, I want to change the lock screen without using some app (I have experienced lag and/or double locks) and the calendar app. How would I go about installing these (I believe this is the point of the deodexed ROMS)?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
Dude, different phones, different scillicon.

Overclocking depends on a number of factors, the main one is the quality of scillicon that is used for your chip in the phone. This is pure luck and varies from device to device. Some phones will need less voltage to run at a higher frequency than others.

Next is voltage, the higher you run the frequency, the more voltage you need to make it stable and not crash. Different ROM's in clude custom kernels which have different stock voltages.

So if you are just changing frequency, you may need to look further into the voltage being used. I know trinity and matrix allow for custom tweaking of the voltage with set cpu or proton.

Hope this helps you

Alarm Manager seems to the main cause my partial wake locks and signficant part of my battery, how do i disable this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobileweasel:
This has been discussed many times. No.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
AlarmManager is an Android process which other applications can use and hence (as was eloquently pointed out): no, you can not disable it.

What you really need to do is work out what application is using AlarmManager to wake the system up.

I used these instructions to get some extra info on it. I didn't get a concrete answer from it, but you may have more joy:

Anyone have any ideas on a good tripod solution? I have plenty of good SLR tripods, including a nice Gorillapod SLR which would probably work well as a simple steadicam. It would be great if I could adapt the SGS2 to a 1/4" tripod mount.

Some of the solutions I've seen out there so far that don't seem perfect:

Gorillamobile (suction cups... Just sounds like I'm asking for a repair bill)

Quik Pod Mobile. Say's it works for an EVO so it should be large enough. Not sure about the thickness and if it'd stay in.

Kestrel Tripod Clamp off Amazon: I ended up buying this on a whim as it looks like it extends a good bit. Search Google for some better imaging. Hopefully it's wide enough. I'll update this post when I get it Thursday.

Everything else tops out a 4" diagonal screens. Any one have any ideas?

Also sorry for not linking this post up. I've been lurking on this forum since '07 but don't post as I've found answers to my questions with some judicious searching. Once I hit 8 posts I'll do a better job of linking up posts.

Just thought I'd update this thread on the Kestrel Clamp. It's about a cm too small in width. I might be able to increase it's width by changing the screw. I'll post pictures once I get over the 8 post limit.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I was at the Brewer's game last night, and the loss of service was horrible. I literally rebooted 18 (I counted) times during the game, that was just to get my missed text messages.

Scary thing is that I had nearly full bars showing for the cellular signal, but the 3G was terrible. Every time the 3G dropped too low, it took both the 3G and cellular service with it, and it never came back. At one point, I rebooted 5 times in a row, and still had no service (no data, and texting/calling would not work), even though I was showing nearly full reception.

I couldn't keep the radios working long enough to even successfully use Roam control. By the time I was able to switch to roaming (on Cellular One, apparently), the radios were already crashed, and I still had no service (even though I still had no indication).

About halfway through the game, I finally started getting the triangle notification "You have lost data services be...." Toggling roaming policies and roam guards did nothing to make this go away... Whether I was in forced roam or on Sprint.

I assume that there was a lot of network congestion at a playoff game, but clearly this phone does not handle network congestion well. I never had this problem with the Samsung Moment, and it saddens me to think that that piece of crap does ANYTHING better than the ET!

I wonder if the low data signal somehow creates a cascade of events that tells the phone to shut down the radios?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I never experienced LOS until yesterday and it's hit me 5 times now since. I reverted back to stock kernel for the time being, but I'm afraid it'll happen again since it's even a stock problem (from what I've heard.)

I'm running the stock with root (flashed CWM, then flashed the root .zip).

I forgot to mention that after the game in the parking lot (about 4 blocks from the stadium) a reboot set my phone working perfectly fine again, so I'm thinking its a combination of something Sprint's network tells our phone, and then something in Samsung's kernel goes "Duh...."

That stinks about the phone though :-( I hope it's something that gets resolved, sorry you had to mess with it during the game.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Roam Control periodically does a license check when you start it. If you don't have data, and it decides to check the license, you are SOL.

As for rebooting, it was necessary to reboot because that's the only time I got text messages. We had two sets of two seats, and texting was the only way to communicate with people 3 second away.

Perhaps you should spend some time with kindergartners and take some etiquette lessons. Although they might be too advanced in that area for you to learn much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] malcolmXman:
It does do checks every so often... Cum on men, give the guy a break.

Great. Let's see you try to set up meeting places, or exit strategies with people you can't communicate with. Or are you the rude type that would barge into the middle of somebody else's section?

As for Roam Control, it just updated from the market, so its the latest version. Try reading the description.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I preferred Sunday's game myself. :)

Despite how it sounds, I spent more time watching the game (such as it was!) than messing with the phone. Reboots and clicking resend on a text doesn't really take that long, thankfully!

Sprint's 3G in Milwaukee is not working at all. Sprint offered to let me out of contract free because of the 3G being out since June and still not fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaygraffix:
I live in Milwaukee as well and I can vouch for how terrible the 3g is here. I only use about 1 gig a month in data on a light month and about 2 gigs a month on a heavy month. I even tried using my slingplayer as much as I could keeping it on for a few hours at a time for a whole month and I barely used 3 gigs!! When Verizon gets a nice phone with LTE I'm ditching sprint for a network that actually works here. And I don't care about the caps because I don't even use that much to begin with. And if Sprint ends up getting LTE in Milwaukee by 2013 maybe I'll come back...but since sprint has no wimax here...and they won't fix the 3G, I'm guessing Milwaukee will be the very last city to get LTE.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Don't root yet.....problem solved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BethyM:
I didn't get to see Sunday's because we had plans. Excited for tonight's game. Always enjoy a good play off, even better when my home team is in. Of course, the tension keeps it amusing.... hmmm... kinda like XDA. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
First off, I've done multiple data resets since I activated the phone last month, and 3G data has not improved one bit.

Second, according to other posts, I obviously am not the only one with a data problem in my city, so posting here helped me with some evidence to go to Sprint and get credit or out of my contract, doesn't it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
The ONLY place I get decent 3G speeds is by the airport. Just did a speed test, and I got 1.3mbs down... Everywhere else in the city, I average somewhere around .15, which is basically 1xRTT speeds.

How did you go about getting the offer to let you out of the contract? Did you have to call multiple times? Honestly, I'm hoping that this phantom update that's supposedly coming this month actually fixes something, but with Samsung/Sprint, I'm not holding my breath.

I go back to my experience with the Moment. Sprint put out several updated, but never managed to fix the data lock problem (which also cut out voice service, which is eerily similar to what's happening here). It took the devs over at SDX to fix the problem by porting Froyo over from the Acclaim (or maybe it was the Intercept... I forget).

Bonus information: By the airport there is a 4G tower that's active. I can pull 3mbs at work, and if I go about 6 blocks north, I can pull 11mbs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Yeah, that's my worry. Sprint doesn't seem to have any logical progression of cities they implement 4G in. Milwaukee is a Top 20 city (by population), so you'd think they'd be in the first wave. But no, they'd rather put 4G in Milledgville, GA, population 19,000 before a city with 500,000.

I had mutiple loss one day. Then the next it is fine with no loss.

Your phone went into Los because you're a brewers fan lol. I think I just experienced my first true Los, normally it will show the circle with a line through it but only for a couple seconds. This one wasn't going away. I went into the task manager that came preloaded on the phone and cleared the ram. It fixed the Los issue. Has anyone ever tried this before?

And by the way...go cardinals!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
You sure it wasn't because you were in a giant metal stadium with 1000s of other cell phone users around you? Even with my old touch pro 2, I would get a loss of service in stadiums and crowded areas.

I'm not rooted either. Also friends getting texts today I sent 4 or 5 days ago. Also my screen will go dim, and then when I go to adjust it, it will not allow me and says screen adjusted to keep from over heating, but the phone is not turned up that high and its at random times.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
This doesn't sound like what people have been reporting as the LOS bug at all. You aren't describing a circle with a line through it for your signal. This really just sounds like ordinary overloaded cell network.

There are a number of separate issues that are causing people not to have full network connectivity, and people are conflating them all and calling them the LOS bug.

I'm really starting to think the stock kernel never gets the LOS bug that the rooted kernels get. Instead, we are seeing stock owners getting hit by other bugs and thinking they have the same thing rooted kernel owners have.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
I admit, before I returned (yes, returned this piece of crap) my GS2, I never got a O with a slash, but does it matter? It would drop to zero bars in places that I should get signal, and my data would stop working altogether, again, in places where I should get data (and have, with EVO, TP2, and Pre). That, is loss of service.

Maybe the rooted kernel's trip something up and messes things up further than stock, but trust and believe, you do get LOS with a stock sprint GS2 too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
I flashed back to stock and have yet to get a LOS (slash through zero)

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G WTF BBQ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
Like I said, the slash through zero, I never got (or never noticed). But TRUST, it is only a matter of time before your bars disappear, and your 3G stops working where it usually works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
ohh that happens all the time for me regardless of kernel, ROM AND PHONE! I have to chalk that up to the crappy Sprint service. No doubt. With the custom kernels, I used to get the slash through the zero LOS but on stock, I still get the loss of service such as the roaming triangle, crappy data, hardly any signal for calls to go out or come in.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G WTF BBQ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
Yes, it matters, because it has given rise to the group that seems to vocally advocate that LOS has nothing to do with running a custom kernel.

If you read these forums long enough, it's pretty obvious it does have everything to do with a custom kernel. People on custom kernels almost all get around 1 LOS a day.

Most people on stock have never gotten one (see the poll), and of the people that say they did, most of them are probably people like you who think terminology doesn't matter, and are calling completely different bugs LOS. I wonder how many of these supposed bugs are just the ****tiness of Sprint's coverage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Yeah, I expect degraded data service, but I never had problems during the regular season when I had my Samsung Moment with texting or voice calls at the stadium.

Of course, Sprint's network has been steadily going downhill here in Milwaukee, so I can't put it past a bad network, but seeing 3-5 bars of cell reception and not being able to make a phone call or text is very troublesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Maybe, but the symptoms are suspiciously similar. I had the triangle No Data up top, switching to airplane mode didn't actually switch me into airplane mode, but airplane mode was grayed out when I tried to turn it back off.

I think this is all related to the radio drivers. This phone is turning into a Moment with a faster processor and bigger screen...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
One can never discount crappy Sprint service, that is true!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Sprint's crappy coverage is easy to detect... The service comes back (including 3G) when you get in range of a better cell tower without the need to reboot.

If the service does not come back until you do a reboot, I think that's a phone hardware/software issue, which is the LOS bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greg di:
I had ZERO LOS with my out of the box phone.

I rooted and used the Zedomax V3 kernel and had it happen for the first time within hours of installation.

I went back to stock kernel/ROM with root and LOS did not occur for a few days. Then it started to happen occasionally.

I then loaded the stock kernel with Starbust 1.4 (a nightly) and LOS happened very infrequently to where it was tolerable. Maybe 1X-3X per day. Still frustrated, I install the LoStKernel today and have had no LOS at all.

My opinion doesn't mean squat, but it would appear to me that this is a function of the kernel coupled with questionable radios/firmware and a lackluster network.

Coming from an EVO, the ET4G is a nicer piece of hardware, but the communication aspect is a disaster.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] malcolmXman:
Think my ban ends soon, Oct. 20th w00t...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
Hold up. I've had this crappy phone since launch day before I returned it. No root, and was one of the FIRST people here and over at Sprintusers forum talking about the crappiness of the radio. Check my posts if you have to, I don't care, but it's obvious to ME that this phone has a Radio/Kernel whatever problem that causes it to not work, whether it's voice, 3G, Wifi or whatever (Never had WiFi problems, but others have), it's obvious this phone has problems that if anything, are just exacerbated with a custom kernel.

As for Sprint's "crappy" network, again, like I have told HondaCop, the EVO that I am typing this on, and the phones I've used in the same places I've used the GS2.....Work...no problems....no zero bars...no lost data.

Point blank, the phone is f'd up man.

Edit: Besides, if the phone wasn't so messed up, why would Sprint and Samsung respond with promises of fixing it? Rooting isn't supported, so they must be talking about.....stock.

Edit2: Just took a look at the Polls. If anything, the numbers support my theory. 25% had problems on Stock. 60% on Root. There ya go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Err0rist:
I called and asked why I was being charged for 4G and 3G when I'm getting neither and she tells me "You're obviously using data." I had to explain to her that I'm getting 1X and she comes back and tells me the 3G has been out since August. (it has been out much longer than, I haven't been able to stream music since April.) So she tells me it won't be fixed until January and I figured she had no idea what she's talking about.

I called back a few weeks later and talked to a guy about the situation and he did say 3G is down here as well but said it may be fixed by September 22. He offered to let me out of my contract free or I could pay half of my bill for the next 3 months.

Wow. Now I know what they meant about the angst from the EVO forums... some annnngggrrrryyyy kids in here. Anyways... everyone needs to settle down and differentiate Loss of Service vs. crappy signal... whether its the network, our radios, whatver. Not to dismiss the signal issues, but needs its own discussion. Lets play scientist here and actually figure things out! Anyways... I didn't get actual LoS until I rooted a couple days ago... couldnt resist anymore (damn you Rob ;) )... so in MY case, id say it has to do with the custom kernels.

My paranoia aside, anyone think the LoS, Android OS Gone Wild, and a lot of the issues from the OG epic's GB leaks could POSSIBLY be intentional... seems like somebody doesn't want to outright block us from rooting, but wants to make it inconvenient... either that or its all negligence... not sure whats worse.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
My personal experience is it only happened when rooted, until I get an LOS on my stock phone I am sticking to my story. I don't think it was just a coincidence that my first LOS came within a day of me rooting when I haven't seen it prior. Have had my exchanged device for close to a week now and haven't had an LOS.

I am pretty sure if I rooted today I would see an LOS within 24 hours. If LOS does indeed happen on an untouched phone then it at least happens waaaaaay more infrequently.
