[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GS2.:
I have rooted my GS2, and wondering what the best ROM is?

I get the impression that Cyanogen 7 is best by general opinion. Is there any others which I have overlooked?

Thankyou

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bole1984:
Hello

I am using ARHD 6.1.2 and i have a radio flashing problem.

I start the cmd and write "adb reboot bootloader" and when it is in bootloader i type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

then it starts to flash. Everything is okay before the writing part starts. It says FAILED Remote: not allowed

Radio is 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M.

What should i do?

When i go to the bootloader it says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF, so that means i have radio s-off anfd eng s-off?

please help me!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00156:
I believe this means that you don't have ENG S-OFF. I flashed that same radio yesterday with the same method and it worked fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bole1984:
thank U very much.

My friend told me wrong then.

So i downloaded the eng s-off tool and everything went fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zereox:
Hi How do u get the S-OFF tool to work on ARHD6.1.2/3 ?

I tried and it says "Incompatible kernel"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy2601:
best way to flash without ENG OFF IS TO DOWNLOAD THE RADIO FILES IN "PD98IMG.ZIP" format (search the forum for them) place them in root folder of sd card power off the phone then holding vol down and power key enter the bootloader the device automatically prompts for radio update press vol up button voila you are done. most important is you make sure you checksum the file after you copy to to sd card...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zereox:
Thanks tommy , i tried that and it worked.

Just curious, is there any way to get Eng Bootloader and Radio S-Off once I am on AR HD 6.1.3? Those tools seems to only work on the stock rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
this method worked for me

i ran the tool as administrator on windows 7, clicked "I have radio s-off" (which you must already have since you have a custom rom on your phone) then clicked "s-off it!" and it was done.

read the thread thoroughly before trying, YMMV
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zereox:
Ah thanks maatsby! Guess all i needed to do was tick the checkbox.

My bad for not reading the requirements clearly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ryan8440:
I've been running Valhalla v1.3.2 since it was released (about 13 days). About 5 days ago I started having issues with reception. I tried different modems from the modem thread and that didn't work. So I tried reflashing the ROM and that also didn't work. I checked the check sums after downloading the ROM, so I know I got a good file.

As I mentioned, these issues are new in the last 5 days, reception was great a week ago.

What I've noticed in the last couple days are two things.

1. The signal indicator on the top of the phone doesn't match up with actual signal. In the one attached screenshot you can see it indicating 3 bars of service, but no carrier. The other screenshot shows 2 bars and no carrier. I've also been driving and had dropped calls while indicating 4 bars service. I work 30 miles from home, so this isn't an issue with a single tower.

2. The ROM has the signal indicators themed green, although, as you can see, sometimes when I'm having issues they go back to gray.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm basically relying on wifi calling at this point.

Thank you,

Ryan
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Maybe verify with T-Mobile that they're not having issues, also. We had a problem here for over a day where we had bars but couldn't place calls, calls dropped, etc, and it was occurring all over the city.

Not sure if it'll make a difference, but maybe make sure your SIM card is clean & snug, possibly even replace the SIM if necessary.

Good luck; I'm curious what the issue is.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
The signal indicator going from grey to green is a Gingerbread feature, not a bug. It indicates if the signal is "locked on" or not. My friend has a Nexus S and it does the same thing.

It's difficult to say if your signal problem is the phone or something in your area. I get the same issue when I'm at work but I know for a fact it's because the tower is far and the building blocks a lot of signal for all phones regardless of carrier. It sounds like a true weak signal though, could be caused by the tower having issues or some interference.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ryan8440:
Thank you for the suggestion, but I don't think the green/gray is working as designed. With the Valhalla rom the OP specifically mentioned in one version he'd forgotten to theme the signal indicator. Likewise, sometimes when I can make calls it's green, sometimes it's gray, so it doesn't seem to be specific to signal status.

I called t-mobile customer care yesterday and they told me to go to the store and get an new SIM card as mine was outdated. I did that today and am still having the same issues. I'm thinking of ODINing back to stock KD1 to see how things go.

Thoughts?

-Ryan
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I was really hoping the SIM card would work out for you. Going back to KD1 isn't a bad test to see if the problem goes away. Keep me posted, I'm curious if it makes a difference. If so, maybe shoot for KG4 as it was the first GB ROM to come with the boot loaders & see if the phone still acts normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I get the same grey / white bars when the phone first boots, and occasionally during normal operation. It usually lasts for 5 to 10 seconds and doesn't seem to affect signal quality at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
Green means its synced with Google. Grey means its not.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Locobato:
I experienced similar issues, for me when the bars were gray I had no data. Facebook wouldn't connect and my widgets weren't able to update. I was still texting and receiving MMS fine. I hardly make calls so not certain if those were ever effected. I still get this happening to me maybe once a day but I simply throw on Airplane mode then turn it right off and my data is once again flowing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ryan8440:
I called TMobile again and they asked me to uninstall all my apps while I was on the phone with them to make sure nothing there was interfering. I didn't have time to do that at the moment, so I told them I'd call back. In the interest of getting everything bone stock, I figured I'd ODIN the stock KD1. However, when I look at the bible thread all I can find is a deodexed KD1 with root. I can't seem to find the true stock KD1 rom. Where can I get that?

Thanks again,

Ryan
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I did a bit of searching and LuffarJoh posted this link:

http://fus.nanzen.se/

You basically set the preset to SGH-T959V, scroll back up to the Input section, and click send. It downloads the stock ROM.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ryan8440:
I downloaded that application but received the message "No firmware info retrieved for given data." I tried searching again and didn't find anything.

Anyone else have a link?

edit: the SGH-T959 is listed as being supported on that thread, but not the SGH-T959V .
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] D12005:
just go to samfirmware.com and download the stock kd1 file, you'll have to sign up so you can download it but its free
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ryan8440:
After a few more go arounds, the decision is that my phone is dead. So I'm getting a G2x in it's place.

I'll miss the SGS4g community here. Valhalla was great as was Black Ice and ICBINB.

Thanks,

[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
http://xperiablog.net has been asked to relinquish both that domain and XperiaX10.net and hand them to Sony Ericsson. They have been accused of using the Xperia brand "in bad faith" and they can't fight against such a behemoth. It's a shame that one of the top sites about our phones gets the axe in such a jerkass way.
[Xperia Play General] Clienterror:
Can Sony do that? I know if you're just holding on to the domain (Like walmart.com or target.com or something) and doing nothing it's cyber squatting but if you're actively posting updating and whatever and not selling it-it's yours?

[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
They just did ;)

Companies take trademarks and brand image very seriously. It is well within their legal rights to protect it, if there is justification. In this case there is justification, as Xperia is a trademark of Sony Ericsson, and they felt their brand was not being handled properly.

Even Microsoft made a person give up their domain name because it phonetically sounded like "Microsoft."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_vs._MikeRoweSoft
[Xperia Play General] netorino:
They're so lame. Communities and people like them are what makes a company big, when someone goes online to check on a product and finds that it has so many followers, fansites dedicated to it, reviews and a lot of support, we like the product and know that even if the company turns their back on us (most of the time) the community will be there to help us.

Good luck on your site Logseman, let's hope it stays there for a long time.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
I call bull**** on this.

These guys were enthusiasts of Sony Ericsson's products, and they had been informing about all things Xperia for a long while, without any bad faith or slander against Sony Ericsson. Were they to come to court, they would prove it. They have decided not to because they can't or aren't willing to pay to defend what is self evident.

This kind of statements, aside of reeking of corporate slavery, are completely false as well. There are heaps of sites dedicated to bash Apple every day. Since those guys know that there is no such thing as bad press, they don't act against them. Meanwhile, Sony Ericsson, which has been struggling for years in the market, chooses to strangle one of its greatest unofficial feelgood spreaders. Way to go!
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:

Either way , ask sony to make an official Xperiablog like playstation.blog.eu/us .

Or create a FB page xP
[Xperia Play General] doncoop:
I know the bad faith thing sounds bad but they have only asked for the domains haven't they?

The guys behind the site could set up another that doesn't use the branding.

With such a domain a lot of people may think it's an official site, which is why they have asked for it.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Sony Ericsson has its own official sphere with its official product and development blogs, its own official forums and so on. It goes against its own interests to smother what outside people are saying, particularly when they're enthusiasts of your products.

Take another example: Cyanogen Mod does not endorse Sony Ericsson closely or market their phones in any way, yet the CM7 team received hardware and support from them. If they are willing to help people who, so to say, are outsiders, how come are they lawyering against insiders who were willing to spread the awareness of their brand?
[Xperia Play General] juxtapose519:
I really hope they're just after the domain name and aren't actually looking to shut the site down. I can understand Sony wanting to protect trademarks, but I can't understand why they'd be opposed to the content of the blog.

I have downloaded the latest Facebook app from the market for my wife to her phone and when I place the widget on a home screen the widget continually says "updating status".

...Hey all. I've been running a rooted (thanks psouza!) XT860 with Hashcode's tweaked Bootstrap recovery for about a month now with nary an issue, but yesterday something weird happened..

The usual boot animation is of course the red "Dual Core" Motorola logo, that then begins to throb, or pulsate or whatever...but yesterday I re-booted the phone and now the old, plain "android" text, boot animation comes up...the same one that use to be on my old Milestone.

It's not a problem per se, but is there any obvious reasons for this spontaneous boot animation switcheroo? where did this old animation even come from?

(first sorry for my english if i have any mistakes)

So i have na htc sensation with mike's rom (ARHD 3.6.1) and when i took some pictures and saw that everyone of them have gps cordinations. So that means when i open my camera the gps turns on to see were i'm and that costs a lot of energy isn't that right ? So if that is right and the develepors of new roms can make this to be disabled i think that the batery life will increase. If i'm horribly wrong, please delete this thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pruikki:
u are somewhat right! good idea. will think that!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AlanB412:
You can actually deactivate that on your own depending on the rom you're using. AOSP roms with typically use the default camera app, and you can deactivate the location storage right through one of the on-screen options once you open the app.

I haven't used a Sense rom in a while so I don't remember the exact steps anymore, but I do remember being able to turn geo-location off there as well.

You had a good idea, but you can already do this yourself in most roms so there's no need for devs to remove the feature in my opinion. I actually like it just because you can tell where a person was when they took the picture, and call bull**** on them if they were lying lol

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Som30ne:
I had a problem with missing Reminders when the device was off.

If a reminder was supposed to go off, but the device was off (not stand-by), the reminder will not be shown (Da!) - and even when I turned the device back, it wouldnt pop-up reminders for events/appointments/tasks that occured when the device was off.

(Unlike my old WM2003 device, that would show reminders that were in the past, even if it was off, and without battery)

So - I after it was too much - I decided to write a small app that will show reminders that were supposed to be displayed when the device was off.

This app is composed of a service that writes the time every 1 minute, and a start-up application that scans for reminders that were supposed to be shown between the last time registered in that file, and the time the startup application is ran.

(And since I dont have a certificate for the service, a small startup exe that starts the service and quits).

The 2005 cab id for WM 5 and up

and the 2003 cab is for WM 2003 (although 2003 probably doesnt need this)

** Requires .NET V2 and higher.

****** All who downloaded this app before Oct-20-2011 05:00 (GMT+2), Please download it again, since the app was crashing in some scenarios.

This is now fixed (Hopefully all crashes were found).

Hi there guys,

I just read about Android 4.0,released today. As I promised from june,I wil try to port it to you guys (even because I'm not working at any project now).

The first alpha will be available in few days (if all goes well),maybe one week. I already got the SDK dump,so i could try to make it boot,but I prefer using sources. BTW,when CyanogenMod 9 will be released(CM8 is some crappy Honeycomb),I'll make CM9 port.

EDIT: I can't make the SDK boot. Libs are built from ARMv7,but we're ARMv6. So wait for sources to be released.

SOME INFOS:

ROM will be based on .32 kernel tree,then I'll switch to .35

Nothing in mind now.
