Hello Everyone,

I have been having trouble with my streak due to a bad signal.

It seems as if the radio.img is somewhat messed up. I've tried a different baseband (Currently on 351), and different ROMs (Now running Streakdroid 1.9.0), but still no luck. By chance, does anybody have the radio.img for the streak, or know where I can download a copy of one?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QMaverick:
Hello all--I've done a search on this and even asked at one point in Maddoggin's thread...

I tried the new stability ROM that toadlife posted in the Dev forum, and it's been fantastic. I was using CM7 (thanks Deca), but use 4G a lot, so wanted to test out another daily driver.

Problem: I hate the stock lockscreen and lack of battery %.

So, I decide to flash ACS's ICS theme, which includes lockmod. Everything works beautifully...except when I go to make a phone call using bluetooth...when I do, the phone crashes and reboots.

This last crash was so bad, it somehow wiped out my phone/contacts app...meaning, it's not there anymore...not on the app list, and even Titanium shows it as missing.

This crash ONLY happens when I flash lockmod on top of an EH17 ROM. Otherwise, my bluetooth functions 100% normally. I have had zero crashes on CM7, for instance.

It *HAS* to be something to do with EH17 + lockmod, because I don't get the error stock or with other custom ROMs.

Does *anyone* have any idea what's going on? :confused: I'm baffled...lockmod doesn't touch the Bluetooth stack as far as I know...so, yeah . . . :confused:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark8503:
I don't use bluetooth but I use the headset that came with the phone and the same exact thing happens. As soon as I make a call the phone reboots and when it comes back my contacts are completely gone. I was on the stock deodex from deca when this happened. It sucks cause the status bar mod is awesome.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Basically it comes down to a urge or a need. If you personally feel that you can utilize the full power of the phone after rooting by either undervolting OR a custom rom, then by all means, root the phone and get rid of that samsung bloatware.

If you feel that the phone gives you all that you need, then there is no need to root the device.

Personally I have held off rooting till now, but once I get the JIG in either today or tomorrow, I am just rooting to get rid of the samsung crap and optimize my device, nothing more.

The jig allows you to get rid of that YELLOW triangle after flashing a unsigned kernel and also resets your download counter back to 0.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
With the new one click root method you don't need to flash anything and get yellow triangle or increase download counter.

Root using the method mentioned here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319653

Once rooted, download siyah kernel from - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263838 choose the CWM one.

Download DarkyROM2 Tool from android market. Open the siyah kernel zip and you'll find zImage file, copy it to your internal SD. In DarkyROM2 Tool select Flash image and select the copied zImage. Your phone will reboot and you will have CWM installed.

Done. Once you have CWM flash anything ROM/kernel/Theme etc through CWM.

This way there will be no increase in custom download counter.No yellow triangle no jig required.I did this and am running Androidmeda ROM currently.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gimral:
That is basically what I did.

Rooted, disabled all the Samsung Apps, blocked the Wifi Sharing and all the other battery thirtsty apps with Titanium and so on....installed Siyah 2.1.1 kernel on my stock 2.3.4 but still I get 50% battery drain over night (6 hours).

I don't need any fancy ROM, just a plain simple one. Just want my battery to last at least for a day of average use...what should I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
Try [KERNEL] SpeedMod SGS2 [K2-13 Update3 CWM4 CIFS ROOT]

Allow also for a full charge a cycle of battery you will not be able to see battery use for about 2-3 days as phone needs to bed in even if just a kernel change ;)

This has been really helpful, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gimral:
Will try that for sure and let you know. Thank you! :)

As for now I noticed that, with the stock 2.3.4 + Siyah 2.1.1, my AOS Battery stats dropped from 45% to 23ish% but the cell standby doubled and it's now at 30% any given moment.

Tried to do the airplane mode trick but it didn't quite work out. Hmm...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gimral:
Tried Speedmod but nothing. Went back to Siyah but what I noticed is that the cell stanby is the top battery drain cause everytime.

Is there any way to fix that? The airplane trick didn't work, I tried several times.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
Hi all !

I'm facing same problem right now - root or not. As it is my first android device decided to leave it alone and get to know with it for now. Also would like to test hardware thoroughly before flashing anything. This device is amazing even as it is and root isn't going anywhere :) Currently I installed android SDK on PC to learn how to write some apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikai_yang:
First about the yellow triangle, you don't need the usb jig.

Flash rooted kernel (with rom or not) using odin. Reboot, then you see the yellow triangle. Now use odin to flash a stock kernel (search on xda). Reboot, then yellow triangle is gone. Finally, use the CWM app (in most custom roms, but also downloadable), use the flash kernel function to flash the tar version of the kernel you flashed in step one (cf-root kernel will always work fyi)

Now, root your phone. You'll always get the latest roms and kernel with all enhancements. OC/UC isn't necessary for everyone. But everyone deserves a firmware more refined then the last.

Wifi tether not working, is anybody else having problems

[Motorola Atrix 2] halfevildruid:
Disable entitlement didn't work for me, but im on gophone and not postpaid.

EDIT: I was wrong I did have to disable entitlement, apparently the first APN I used to enable data was incorrect to also have tethering. So for gophone entitlement still needs to be disabled but use the APN below.

I found this out after a factory reset and apparently I must not have saved the entry in the entitlement box the first time around. Talk about a noob-like mistake! BUT gophoners still need the APN below:

All I did is create a new apn with the following data:

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank

Port: 80

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM *must be all caps

Password: CINGULAR1 *must be all caps

Server: wireless.cingular.com

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentecation Type: leave blank

APN Type: Leave Blank

APN Protocol: IPv4

Make sure you put the tick in this APN after you create so it uses it instead of the default, I don't know if this will affect 4G.

For the lapdock to allow mobile network connectivity, turn you mobile hotspot on before connecting your phone to the dock. You will get the dialog box saying you need wifi or an alternate plan, but firefox will now run without adding tethering.

Note we do not have 4g where I live and I do not have a postpaid account. When I got my Atrix 2 and put my sim in I had no data and had to make an APN to make data work at all. While trying to make my lapdock 100 work on the mobile network, I ended up using these settings to do it. The entitlement disable method did not work for me, since my prepay is not provisioned for the same as the post paid accounts.

If nothing else this will show some prepay folks how to enable tethering. ;)

I use my Auxiliary button on my headset constantly. I would like to tweak the controls a bit and I'm wondering if there's a Dev. Out there that would be willing to point me in the right directional as far as where all that code is and some advice. I realize (by zero responses on similar Q's in multiple forums) that this isn't really somthing anyone cares about, so rather than just request what I want I'm going to make an attempt at it myself. So anyone that could help me please respond. My senior design project has a bit to do with the Aux input so any help would be greatly appreciated at would at least be educational.

Have you tried Headset Button Controller app on the market?
[Thunderbolt General] farkmeil:
Thanks for responding.

Ya I tried it. Unfortunately, I'm also dealing with the fact that the headset is not "Android specific" and therefore doesn't work right. I currently have an iPhone / iPod specific headset. But the Auxiliary and ground connections are the same for HTC phones. I'm led to believe that the phone is waiting for a slightly different signal (voltage?) than this headset is putting out. Otherwise I expect it to work. But not even the mic works. It DOES work on single button headsets meant for Apple devices, as well as play, pause, answer, hang up.

So in short I'm interested in getting a three button Apple headset to work on HTC devices.

Thanks again. Anyone else have ideas on this?

It seems there is a bug in the latest version. Thay are aware of it and will fix it for the next update (hopefully).

I have found this in google plus forums (I am not allowed to post the link :()

"Hi all, I wanted to clarify something that I think has become a little unclear regarding instant upload and the new app. I certainly take some blame for not being more explicit:

1. Instant upload of photos from SD card: our team is aware of a bug in the new app that is preventing this from being possible. We are committed to ensuring that instant upload does in fact work for photos from the SD card and are working on a fix for this issue as soon as possible.

2. Instant upload of videos (from SD card AND other storage): this functionality is not supported in the newest version of the app. But, we've heard many users asking for it to come back, so our team is talking about providing it again as soon as possible.

So, stay tuned for a fix to the photos-from-SD problem. And, let me know if there are other issues you're confronting with instant upload!"​

Okay my GF wants a new phone.

Her old phone is a moment, which sucks, I just sold it for 85$.

I personally like the EVO 4g NON 3D.

Now she likes having a keyboard, but is willing to try a touchscreen only since she gets 30 days to exchange.

The EPIC has a 4.3 screen, plus a front camera, and dual core iirc.

The EVO 4G comes with a single core 1GHz, 3.5 screen.

The biggest difference to her is the price.

EPIC = 200

EVO = 100

If you guys have any suggestions on phones with keyboard, but are still good. Feel free to add your opinion. Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Dark lord me:
You are going to be paying the same price each month during your contract so the extra $100 is worth it and between the Evo and the E4G i would highly recommend you get the E4G. The Evo is already over a year old and is getting dated.

Also there are no really good slider phones on sprint as far as i know and she shouldn't find it to hard to adapt to on screen keyboards

Or wait until the nexus prime comes...bigger screen, bigger bigger bigger...just a 5.0 cameraI hear.don't be an "e-bonner".have her pick plus, sprint changed return policy to 14 days the day et was released.

Galaxy S II. The only reason to even consider the Evo at this point is if you're planning on rooting a modding it. The Galaxy S II comes with a bigger battery, no 4G bug, 16GB memory built in + expandable (takes 64GB cards even though they say up to 32GB), better screen, and a LOT smoother.

How do I make them ship me a new device instead of refurbed?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nstallion:
I think they have a policy of if you've had it for X number of days then you get a refurb instead. To be honest a refurb might have had more attention paid to it to make sure it works than a brand new one.

If they say you are beyond the point to where you can return for a new one, you can always keep complaining and make the manager's life difficult. I'm not endorsing this method but generally if you ***** enough as a customer you will get your way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Yes it's 14 days with any device.

Refurb after that.

Verizon doesn't really give a rats @$$ about the customer to a degree. Of course that last statement depends on the CSR on the other end. Some people get just a little bit of power and $8.75 an hour and all of a sudden they think they are the gods of the red and black.

Anyway, if you make a real stink about it time after time they will do something about it eventually. You just have to document all your problems and make it known. The problem with VZW is that every time you call that's an hour, or more, of your life that you will not be getting back. So you really have to weigh the odds there.

Speaking of weighing the odds, they still haven't called me back after 2 weeks and 6 phone calls. Looks like I will be taking a lunchbreak call tomorrow to "sort" this out.
