[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mikee.H:
okay, now im not sure if i can help you as im only new, but from all the reading ive done * and personal experience * the most common source of this problem is when flashing new things onto your phone, you have forgotten to wipe and clear the cache and stuff.. Try reflashing it, then wipe the dalvic cache and the others :)

Hopefully this can be of some use.
[HTC Sensation] iverson3-1:
I'm thinking of installing a new ROM but I also see something about a kernel and a redo I should install. I understand how to install a ROM but I get lost when they talk about kernels and radios. Do I install them before or after I put the ROM on? And is it the same presses as adding a ROM?

1.download and put them on my sd card

2.Reboot into cwm

3.And select them from the sd card

Correct?
[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:
HI :)

Well first of all, welcome :D

Second, read this thread :

[INDEX] Guides - ROMs - Kernels - Radios & RILs - MODs

In that thread, read

"(For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers"

"Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on (noobproof)"

In second, everythting is explained :D .. enjoy :)
[HTC Sensation] LLLeeo:
A kernel is the core that provides basic services for the device. It includes all the basic drivers for your ROM like WiFI-Driver, Camera ......

View attachment 766449

This is the main structure of android

A radio is the firmware for your GSM-Radio.

If you want to flash a different kernel you first install the best fitting rom and then flash the kernel just the way you wrote.

What do you mean with "And is it the same presses as adding a ROM?"

Sorry I'm not a native speaker :)

I'm too late I guess :D
[HTC Sensation] iverson3-1:
Meant to say is it the same process as adding a ROM but got auto corrected
[HTC Sensation] LLLeeo:
I was a bit confused at first but I figured out too :D
[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:
If u read those guides i posted, everything will be crystal clear to you. Those are really good and helpful guides.

And, if some one helped you on this forum with its answer, just click "thanks" button below his post..

Regards :)
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
All ROMs include a Kernel, so use that and ONLY change it if you're not happy with the supplied one.

ROMs may have a Radio version dependency, That will be listed in the ROMs OP.
[HTC Sensation] iverson3-1:
Thanks for everything guys. This whole thing dosent seem as hard now I have already installed a couple different roms.

GL, It'll get more fun and more hassle as you get more into it.

I just got a notice on my phone to update to 5.5.893. I should wait to apply forever root first, right?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
yes you need to do the forever root first and be bone stock
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
If you want root!

Just checked, no update available for me. I have been keeping stock so far. If i get to .893, I can SBF back and then do the foreverroot technique, correct?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
you can but it is easier if you do the foreverroot first then install the update
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wintergon:
This for real? Anyone else see this update? I can't believe that there would not be more press on this if was actually rolling out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dixonba:
No. We would see documentation from vzw. The op is either confused or lying.

Funny thing when I did:

find /cache -mmin -5

I found the files were actually named:

/cache/Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip

[Motorola Droid Bionic] wrightrocket:
I've tried to install twice and failed

Just to let you know, I have downloaded and attempted to install the update twice.

Once, foolishly hoping I could just update R3Blur3d, and again from close to stock.

This last time, I attempted the update from within Clockwork Recovery, and it gave me some details, the automatic update didn't:

assert failed for the file /system/build.prop, rebuild.fingerprint.

To me, it looks like, if the /system/build.prop file is modified, then this OTA won't go through.

I'm going to make sure, I'm as close to stock as possible and try again!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] necroscopev:
You would have to flash these in stock recovery on a forever rooted stock phone. Don't use clockwork.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wrightrocket:
Very Interesting

Once my phone was set totally back to stock, my phone said that there is no update available. It still says that it will not install the update zip file I have due to a problem with the build.prop file.

Originally, I was running R3Blur3rd, which had system files based upon 5.5.893. So, I'm not sure what this update notification meant.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Irieone:
When you get this flashed, please post a screen shot of your about phone settings. The 5.5 file is much larger than 5.6. The 5.6 file has a new LTE radio and webtop app nothing more. So technically, you should receive both 5.5 & 5.6 OTA.

[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
If you really want the SE experience, you can flash UK with flashtool and apply the CDMA patch.

But Verizon will Never[\b] give you the full Sony experience.

And I heard from a friend at Verizon that they plan to drop support and updates for the Play due to lack of sales.
[Xperia Play General] inthepit:
still no update on AT&T, grated its only been 4 days since the announcement... wish carriers would let us know when the update will roll out when the phone manufacturer announces these updates.

interesting just did the online chat support to ask about the update schedule. this is AT&T's response: "I see you are wondering about the schedule for the Gingerbread update for your phone. That update is released by the Device Manufacturer and not AT&T so unfortunately I am unable to give you any information regarding."

sent an email to SE.. see what they have to say...
[Xperia Play General] Maximomx:
We hope that after the drop of support, they also drop the interest on keep the bootloader locked, and the efforts to patch against rooting.

Long story short, she loved the DINC 2, we bought her one (I have a DINC) and I rooted and all that crap to ditch the bloatware. That being said the other day she was in the menus and turning things off and I think she may have jacked with the Google framework. I can't sync her contacts, add a Google account, or access the market. I tried reflashing the ROM but without a wipe it looks hopeless. Is there an APK or something I can install in order to restore the functionality?

Thanks in advance.

That is actually a bug with the stock firmware. Happened to me several times. Go into manage applications and see that many things are greyed out. You need to factory reset. This is caused be deleted apps from the manage applications menu. Just happens randomly when doing that.

[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
No they will not add the $30
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
If yu can use it without being signed up for the service then its hacked. And if you use it without being signed up for it there's no way for them to know since you have unlimited data and they don't know how your using this data. The hacked app is changed so it doesn't ask the ntwork if you signed up for the service. So no you won't be charged, even if you were they'd warn you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djy:
Yesterday I retired an original MyTouch 3G and picked up a T-Mobile SGH-T989. I've placed 3 long phone calls with different people and have a difficult time hearing them. The volume is good, but their voice is slightly muddled? clipped? reverbed? On every call, I can also detect a very faint electrical noise, sounds kind of like coil whine from a power supply. Frankly, compared to the HTC MyTouch (dream), it sounds terrible and find myself asking the other person "what's that" a lot.

I live north of Boston and can only get Edge inside my house. The phone is stock for now, wifi is connected to my router, gps is on, bluetooth is off.

I will go out soon where it is 4G, turn off wifi, and make a call to see if there is any difference. I suspect it will be the same. This may be a deal breaker for me which is a shame, because I love this monster phone so far (except for the lack of a notification LED).

Anyone else make out the electrical noise during calls?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
This is not normal! Mine is clear on both ends.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djy:
The noise is faint but can be heard through the ear speaker only during calls. Sounds like some kind of EMI. Just tried talking on 4G with no WIFI. No difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Hit or miss for me. Some calls to the same number/person are crystal clear, and then the next one is a bit muffled. Overall it's good, but I never had the issue with my Nexus One.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
I had this issue on my first device, was getting a low buzzing noise everytime the other person spoke. Went back to store the next day and showed them. They replaced my phone with another and now it is clear on this device. Remove the SIM card and re insert it securely and if you still have it, get it exchanged.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djy:
Thanks. I reset the sim card. Still sounds bad. Will exchange it tomorrow. Hope what I am hearing is not typical for this model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Hm well I reset the sim too, and also pulled the battery for a bit, and the calls that were a bit muffled are now clear. Don't know if that fixed it, or it is just the line.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djy:
I exchanged the phone tonight and the replacement also has a faint but annoying buzzing noise that can be heard through the ear speaker during calls. Both phones were made in the last week of September 2011. The stripes and blobs issue is clearly more pronounced in the replacement phone and the rear camera (under identical conditions) appears to be more grainy than the first one.

Does anyone else hear a real faint high pitched buzz during a call? Try talking to someone in a completely silent room.

Might be my ears are sensitive to high pitched electrical noises. Some CRT TV's, PSU's, and LCD displays drive me nuts. I am going to exchange it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8bacon:
I am getting this issue too. I only hear the electromagnetic interference when I am not in 4g or wifi calling. I don't hear it when I am on my bluetooth or when I am using the speaker phone. I sent my original phone back last week. When I got it, I turned it on to find out the noise was still there. I called tmobile and I suggested the sim card, so she sent me off to a store to get a new sim card. Well at the store there is 4g so I didn't hear the buzzing. At home and work I have GPRS and Edge respectively, they both have the buzzing noise. So they sent me out a new phone that I just received about an hour ago and I still hear it. Would a new ROM be able to fix something like this or should I just keep sending these phones back until I get one that works?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr.H0811:
I just warranty exchanged my GS2 for the same type of audio issues. I also had an echo so every time I spoke into the phone I could hear myself on a delay. Very annoying!
