[HTC Rezound] PrsnlCrcl:
Hello all. I just purchased the Rezound yesterday and am coming from the Thunderbolt. I have been very impressed so far, but I have noticed a small issue. I live in Arizona and have noticed that my phone keeps reverting to Pacific time. I know that it is picking up my location right where I live. If I reboot the phone, it comes up with the right time, but after a couple of hours, it reverts back to Pacific time (1 hour earlier that Arizona time). I know that I can set the time manually, but I like having the setting for getting the time automatically from the network because it updates when I travel. I did not have this issue with the Thunderbolt. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Mine does the same thing. I notice when I run speed test that it pulls from servers in commuting distance from Chicago. People who live there go by central time even though Indiana is eastern. This might be the reason. I live 30 minutes from the line, and 2 hours from Chicago.

Here, the latest one I did, I'm in south bend by notre lame right now, merillville is 1:15 away in central time. View attachment 784850

[HTC Rezound] PrsnlCrcl:
Thanks for the response. That is interesting. I hadn't even thought about something like that causing it. I did just run speed test to see and it did not change the time for me. I will keep an eye on it though, to see if that is the cause.

Edit: I just went in and looked at my history for Speedtest and found that my most recent test went to somewhere else in Arizona, but the one I did this morning went to Washington State...I guess this is what is causing it. Thanks so much for the catch. I guess I need to be careful running Speedtest from now on.
[HTC Rezound] ifitwasnt4u:
I too live in Arizona and had that issue the past few days. I had my Dinc before this and it was doing the same thing over last weekend.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
No no, didn't mean Speed Test is doing it, I mean the servers your phone is routing through when connecting to the towers are pulling/pushing from another time zone. Whatever DNS server the phone is connecting to get it's time update on 4G is pulling from the West for both of us. When I am on 3G I don't have this issue, that is why I believe this is the reason. I have my time set manually because of it, I noticed it in the Verizon store when the rep was puzzled when I asked him what time it was, lol.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Maybe an HTC issue then? My buddy lives down the road from me has a Bionic, I will ask him if he has this issue on 4G.
[HTC Rezound] PrsnlCrcl:
I got ya...sorry I misunderstood. I guess I just don't understand why it works ok for a while, then changes. Once it changes, I have not seen it change back. It almost screwed me this morning because the time went back an hour overnight so my alarm did not go off when it should have. Thankfully, my Wife was already up. I did not have these issues with the Thunderbolt and it runs on 4G. My Rezound has also only been on 4G or Wifi when the issue comes up.
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
We switched from daylight savings time here in Chicago and Indiana doesn't use it from memory so that could be a problem. Maybe that is the same issue in Arizona. I'd look into that.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
No, Indiana joined the bandwagon (thanks liberals) about 5 years ago. But, The Commuter Area, Gary/Michigan City/Valpo/Merrillville/East Chicago, basically everything West of Saint Joe County and the end of South Bend is Central Time, the rest of the state is Eastern.
[HTC Rezound] erismaster:
+1 I have to set my phone to not use network time. I'm in Elkhart.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Haha, I was born there. My last name (Lemacks) look familiar? My dad owned Lemacks Construction on Lincolnway across from the railyard for 25 years.

Anyways, your phone does the same thing in Elkhart? When you run Speed Test what server does it say is hosting it? I am surprised you aren't pulling KZoo or Ft. Wayne.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquapink1:
Hi! I'm bran new here. I have a nook color I'm trying to reroute with an SD card and bought a Nook how to Manuel that says how to reroute it. I'm on the create a disk image section. After selecting a specific file I downloaded I'm suppose to burn or write it to my computer. After selecting it I choose the DVD r driver letter Drive E (only option) and then select burn. Nothing happens. It says the selected disc image isn't valid. I'm not a computer idiot but, I'm far from a computer genius. My SD card is in the adapter and USB card reader/writer thing. So I'm confused. Y doesn't it write/burn? Does anyone else have this problem? What do I do? I've searched alot for the answer but, no luck. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
[Droid 2 Global General] isosphere:
I had trouble finding information on this variant of Droid, so I thought I'd share my own findings now that I have it working the way I wanted.

I ordered a brand new, Verizon Wireless locked version of this phone off eBay. I'm in Canada, so I was unable to activate the phone as it requests after the "touch the droid" screen. The nearest Verizon tower is very far away.

I found out (maybe this is common knowledge about Android phones, my searches were probably too specific) that I could bypass that activation by touching each corner of the screen.

I used SuperOneClick to root the phone, which went completely painlessly; seems like a great tool. This isn't a necessary step to unlock it, I just wanted it rooted.

I gave $30 USD and my phone's IMEI to CellUnlocker, and they got a working unlock code to me in 2 days. Some people have had problems unlocking the phone, but it worked immediately for me, maybe it's luck.

I haven't tried a brand unlock, since I don't plan on using my phone in the states soon!

I followed these instructions to improve my signal strength, but I haven't thoroughly tested it.

I am now using the phone without a hitch on Telus' network, data included. I had to set up an APN for them, with information from here.

I applied a fix mentioned by Kositch here to prevent Google Maps from crashing my phone. The min free KBytes setting was 2845 by default, as reported by the sysctl config *root* tool. It seems to have worked.

Unfortunately my battery doesnt last more than a day with moderate use. I've setup setcpu to underclock the processor based on battery life in hopes that it helps. It's hard to tell if it does or not without any kind of benchmarking. Based on the built-in battery usage app, I would say it probably does not affect my battery life much to underclock the phone, it is mostly the display that drains it.

One bug I have had is that my Internet connection will stop working after the phone has been out of use for some time or in airplane mode. A restart of the phone seems to solve this every time, though I'd rather not have to do that.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
I am having a nasty bug when using my D2G on Telus - every time I dial out, immediately call drops and then reconnects in background. Very annoying and prevents you from dialing conference bridges automatically. I have tried with both normal sim that came with my Telus milestone at the time as well as a fresh new microsim and experienced this in both cases. On Fido and Rogers it is fine. Haven't tested on Bell as I don't have active account with them.
[Droid 2 Global General] isosphere:
My phone does the same, but it does not cause me problems as I only make ordinary calls. It's certainly a bit weird.

Yay for progress, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Yes, count this dead as of now. I'm waiting until more things are working. I've got it booting but like the previous poster said it's worthless. I would feel guilty if someone flashed this and bricked their device. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
No worries. we'll keep waiting, thanks for the effort though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shep211:
You need to create the rom from Google's code. The I9100 rom will not work on are device. If his rom worked 100% and you installed on at&t sgs2 you would have no audio in calls, broken home & back buttons and wrong kernel. You would need his source code to edit the kernel & lib files to fix the issues. Why do all that when you have source code? Just start from scratch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cfaberlle:
So bottom line, it will take months of development? :confused:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
An AOSP bringup isn't that easy - there's a lot of vendor-proprietary **** there.

It is FAR easier to port an I9100 ROM to the I777 (see Hellraiser) than it is to do an AOSP/CM bringup (see the history of Cyanogenmod for the I9100 - CM for the I777 only required small changes because it's effectively a port from the I9100.)

I looked at the I9100 ROM - they're using a hacked-up 2.6.35 kernel for the time being, which puts it in "not worth my time".

If they get a 3.0 kernel bringup I'm going to start playing with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Yea I was a bit disappointed using a cm7 kernel for this. What works is what works I suppose. I just lost everything though so I'm done anyway. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
Well, we could be waiting only a brief 2 months for a CM9 rom!

https://twitter.com/#!/cyanogen/status/136313427248431104
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The way to read that is - expect an alpha or beta of CM9 for GNex or Nexus S in about 2 months.

It'll be much longer for any other device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tspx23:
if the nexus s is getting ics... do u think its pretty close for galaxy s devices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
No.... there are different drivers and what not that need to be ported or built from scratch. there is no doubt we will get an ics rom on our device...it's just gonna take some time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nycbjr:
funny!

I started porting a i9000 GS2 rom this morning from the alpha posted, I also pm'd the rom creator for permission..

It DOES run on a ATT GS2, touch screen weriedness I couldn't seem to get into the system, vol keys work, wake works, I could get a few screens using the card buttons, no soft keys.. See screen shots..

anyone want to help me wioht this? It does seem like a good place to start, I'm not a n00b but this would be my first attempt at a port.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cfaberlle:
Seems to be the same condition they were experiencing...

Coentje44 did it again.. now we have an UI.. he is now uploading ROM..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nycbjr:
Right yea, I just got that part set, I had a hard time figuring out what "finger" combo it was taking to select the items, I now have a "nandroid backup" of a ICS with usb debug enabled (so I can get adb yay), and no more ui quits.. but its still pretty useless without standard touch screen (meaning one finger not 2), the phone modem, sound, but wow I feel special.. one of the few running ICS (even for a few minutes at a time!)

restoring back to CM7...

anyone want to chime in wiht some ideas, next steps??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nycbjr:
I just checked the "alpha 4" posted for the i9100.. basically the same results they are having.. I kind of feel like if I/we had the person who ported the CM7 rom to the ATT SG2 it could be done nearly lickety split, I mean it works ok, (aside from the 2 finger touch screen atm), it just needs audio/modem (well and wifi/bt lol) but all that is a "cake walk" for those guys, this is (well very exciting) a very "gray" area of what I have done in the droid community, and I'd rather be doing this on my A500 (but there is bairly a wisper on that board) as its not my phone that I really need working lol..

so I will prolly give up till smarter peeps come along since no one has offered to help me out...

I look forward to the developments. I hit cmd+r all too frequently lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DarkSi08:
Since he's using the cm7 kernel, couldn't we just use the cm7 kernel for our phones and fix most of the differences? Or did he have to make other changes to the kernel to get stuff working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nycbjr:
interesting, when I tried flashing just the system files (not the boot.img) it wouldn't boot, was in a boot loop where "system server" just seg faults.. Doing a quick google revealed the libraries weren't compatible with the kernel, so then I fashed using his boot.img and from there it booted fine (with all the same issues)..

maybe our cm7 kernel just needs to be re-compiled or someting.. I hate compiling kernels! lol

If it works on the i9100 it will for the i777. A few things need changed here and there but nothing major. I may co-work with another dev to get it fully working on the i777 when a good beta is built. There is good progress coming along as we speak from the i9100 devs.

Kernel is mainly defconfig changes, maybe the charger.

But right now it's a fugly hackjob - Trying to ICS-ize a 3.6.35 kernel is just wasted effort. I'm fairly certain ICS is going to remain somewhat unstable until we've got a Linux 3.0 kernel source drop for the I9100.

Once that happens I'll start working ICS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jake:
i've even found myself contacting samsung for the source code for this device.

i am not even a software dev in any aspect.

for me ICS is not just a new ROM for our phones .... or a kernel or anything of that sort..

for me ICS is the moment i've been waiting to see Android ascend to. The one where software is truly being developed around the devices' potential within the competitive realm in the sight of the layman.

No one can deny seeing face authentication (approval or denial & req. pin) is very impressive, and not to mention switching between live apps in actual live screen format is very impressive. It's as if you can see the dual channel RAM in action. What takes the cake for me in terms of functionality and capabilities pushed to next lvl easy to see is the level of control the phone gives the user in terms of data analysis, usage, etc.

This is without a doubt one of the most significant changes in the game that the mobile community has seen since the first motorola flip phone (following bag phone era lol) imho..

All of this to say.. good things come to those who wait... Thank you to the devs that are helping to bring this dream to life!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Samsung won't give source code to something there isn't a binary for.

However if an ICS leak shows it's going to be the first thing people start hounding Samsung for sources for.

BTW, at best we'll see kernel sources, and maybe sources for a few other small bits.

Does anyone know if they're going to be able to get the full Hardware Acceleration framework working on all these hacked ICS ports (and the GS2's in particular)? I thought I read somewhere that there were certain libraries for this that were not yet available, but I probably misunderstood.

I want ICS pretty bad, but not if it's less smooth than our stock GS2 rom. But man oh man, ICS with full hardware acceleration on the Mali is going to be awesome.
