[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
so i have been playing with my replacement device

no change.

Signal holds strong for a bit then drops. Makes 0 sense.

I put the sim into my iphone and its constant 87 DBM which my galaxy nexus has never seen. Lowest its been is 92 DBM and usually hovers around 99/101 when its working and as bad as 111 when its totally messed up.

I hate going back to the iphone as i really love this phone but I cant deal w/ the reception issues. This sucks :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstyle88:
That totally sucks. Let us know how the replacement experience goes. Unless you are just returning and not exchanging. I plan on buying a GN at the end of the week and curious how exchanging out goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
Well I got my replacement from expansys with no issue. This is my 2nd one already.

I have no clue whats causing the reception issue as no one else seems to have any issues.

on old phone i tried all different roms , different radio, all apns , change to a 4g smartphone plan , i got a new galaxy nexus replacement , completely stock , changed sim cards , activated iphone 4s and took sim from that phone and put in galaxy nexus , no change.

Nothing will keep the signal solid on this phone for me. no mattter what I try. I cant explain why I can take my sim from my galaxy nexus , put it in my 4s and it has a solid 87 dbm connection 100% of the time right next to my nexus.

ive lost hope at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Sounds like you just need to go with the iPhone until a GN comes out on AT&T. I had a Infuse on AT&T that was rooted and unlocked I brought it to the UK and...well....the cell signal never worked right on any rom/radio in the UK. Got a GSM GN....guess what it works fine. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
Made one last effort.

New sim. Called att , got my plan setup correctly on a 4g hspa+ data plan , on the replacement phone. Factory restored. Loaded nothing and tested.

Holds a steady signal for an hour. Then randomly drops to 1 bar sometimes 0. Switch to airplane mode and then off , full signal returns.

Im pretty much through w/ this phone now.

Put sim in iphone - 87 Dbm solid :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
What is your build number for your OS? ITL41F (latest google version)?

Many things can affect your problems, trying the latest update, or different basebands might cure your problem. And might not.

I'm coming from an Nexus S, and my overall wifi and cell reception is a little better then my old phone at work (where my reception is horrible).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
I am on 4.0.1 newest version

Tried the other radio in the dev forum

Tries a few roms as well. No change.

Any ideas ?I'm up to trying anything

updated main post with everything I have tried so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
this phone seems to be par for samsung as far as cellular reception. sucks because it is a big step down from the atrix and it's excellent!! cellular and wifi radio. also note that this isn't an iphone or att 4g branded phone so we probably play second fiddle when it comes to priority on their network. i'm hardly seeing the 5-6 mb/s i saw on my atrix but also not see the db either. regardless, i am satisfied with it. it's not horrendous. better than i expected actually. i do have to go outside during lunch now if i want to do any serious web browsing now. wifi reception in the bars doesn't seem to be as high as the atrix either, but i do notice that even when showing no bars i can still pull a steady connection and bandwidth. i guess all we can hope for is a radio flash in the future. the XXK6 seems to be iffy right now so i am i going to stick with XXK1 for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
I'm just going to put mine on airplane mode w/o Wifi overnight.. in high signal areas (like around my office) the battery seems to hold up much better..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i don't think leaving wifi on affects battery. leaving everything alone, i only lose 1% an hour at home. playing music i only lose another 1-2% an hour. the standby time on this phone is incredible. especially considering how lacking the cellular radio is on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
I lose 4% an hr stock.. when I look at my battery history, the signal bar is a very pale yellow... indicating a weak signal... I lose a bit more slowly when wifi is enabled and not the cellular radios..

At work, that signal bar is solid green in the battery history.. and the battery drain seems to slow down significantly..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Hmmm, I only notice a significant battery drain in the city. Skyscrapers and overloaded network have my radio constantly switching a lot. At home, I'm gravy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
just a bit of an update.

Have tried all the new radios, still not working. I believe the phone is going back for good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
There are a lot of basebands for the GSM Galaxy Nexus over here : http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...s/173589-modem-radio-baseband-collection.html if you haven't tried it yet. The XXKK6 baseband works perfectly for me.

NOTE: It has been mentioned that flashing via ClockworkMod Recovery could cause some issues. I flashed just about all the basebands in that thread via clockwork mod recovery and it worked perfectly for me. You have been warned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
Thanks !

Ive tried most. It seems like xxkk6 seems to be the best for me. Reception is much better than what it was. Still not perfect but it also seems to be my house only. Anywhere else I go it seems fine so who knows. Odd one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dd2music:
i've got the same problems as you. went to Samsung service, and after some test's on the GSM antenna, they concluded that the phone's mainboard is defected. so, after a couple of days, i got the phone back and it stays at -79 dBm, maximum 95 dBm, but no more signal or internet problems.

it seems that the first batch of phones is faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
the reason to not flash radios through clockwork mod is because if clockworkmod ****s it up your phone could be bricked. that is why it is highly highly highly recommended to flash radios with fastboot. if the file is no good, fastboot won't flash it. if the file is borked and you don't know it, clockwork will still flash it and that is why you get issues. if the issues are bad enough, your phone won't boot. if your phone won't boot, you can't use fastboot. if you can't use fastboot, then you have to find other methods which are harder, including praying. :D
[HD2 General] fastcar0605s:
hi all

i have a HTC hd2 leo i have followed a tutorial to put android on the nand and to be honest i think ive cocked it right up.

i upgraded the sp and the radio as it said then installed magldr and put the rom of choice on the sd to boot to the nand.

i whent to boot and nothing happened i keep getting error i then somehow managed to wipe all the info so now im left with the magldr and i dont know what to do next to recover it back to windows so i can start again.

can anyone help?

is there somewhere i can send the phone to to have it done?

i dont want to mess it up anymore.

all help for a really new noob is greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] Glebaka:
after that u should flash recovery(CWR) and throught that install ur rom
[HD2 General] fastcar0605s:
yep ive flashed clock work recovery and all im getting is a sd kernel open failed message what now?
[HD2 General] Demo3827:
the ROM the ROm is the problem try use other Rom maybe is not for your Phone go to Google and put HD2 Android and the first is all HD2 Leo Roms Good luck

if u still need help text me back i can help u from here on anything
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
SD kernel open failed,,,,,, that's looking for boot source on the SD card, I believe you chose the wrong option.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Your device is fine.

First decide what rom you want on your device, then use HD2 Toolkit to "Repartition" your device for that rom.

Once you ahve done that simply put that rom on your SD card and flash after booting into recovery via magldr menu.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
I was just thinking about all the old pda's i had used and remembered i still have a think outside slim bluetooth keyboard. Works fine except for the shift key. Since the screen on the atrix 2 is large this works perfect as a portable "lapdock". Bet they are cheap on ebay.?

typed with the think outside keyboard

Opps, worthless without a pic
[Motorola Atrix 2] VentureForth:
Excellent. I was wondering if the Atrix 2 supported the Bluetooth Keyboard. I saw a folding bluetooth keyboard at Radio Shack the other day for like $80. That means I oughta be able to get one for under $20 somewhere... LOL

Wonder why the shift doesn't work. How odd.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
Got me, it seems to be a driver issue. Looked on Ebay, I gave $30 for this one years ago, and people are wanting $160 for them. Man, out of touch with reality they are.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Iggys Pop:
I saw a few online and some stated they only work with Android 3.0+. Anyone else seeing this? Also, wouldn't a Bluetooth keyboard made for the iPhone slash iPad work on our OS theoretically? I know that most other Bluetooth devices are multi-compatble so to speak. I'm looking to invest on one soon and I'm trying to do all my research. Very excited to run Ubuntu on this beast as mentioned in the development forums...
[Motorola Atrix 2] rikimontano:
I saw this kind of keyboard with old palm pre bundle, could you give me the keyboard model please?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
Mine says Think Outside on it but it's just like this one. I saw some go recently on Ebay for $20

Other than the caps not working quite right it works perfectly

[Motorola Atrix 2] cowenby:
Other Keyboards

I successfully use the Microsoft 6000 BT Keyboard with my phone. My shift key does work, along with all letter keys, number keys and all symbols. (at least they do in Evernote) I think it retails for about $50 if you want one with a number pad, or $35 if you don't need one. Also, it is a full size bluetooth keyboard, which was tough to find a year ago.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
That does look like a nice keyboard... however I think people on this thread were looking for keyboards with mounts for their phone.

However one of the pictures on that keyboard includes a "Spiderpodium" to mount their phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowenby:
Yeah, It's the only thing I wish were different, but I decided to sacrifice a mount for a full size keyboard. Big fingers don't really like small keyboards.

And the Spiderpodium's kinda interesting...
[Motorola Atrix 2] hamba9551:
hello, i new user of Atrix 2..today i bought multimedia kit full box for atrix 4g..overall function is very good excepted Bluetooth keyboard..can anybody suggest the solution?? im using supercharged V6 ROM..:confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
Bought this Logitech bluetooth keyboard for ipad but works on our A2.. got it on discount for 30$ or Rs.1500. they say it has a 30ft range, but ive been having trouble going past about 15ft, though thats fine for now.

Im trying to get a setup with a HDMI supported LCD panel and also a mouse. Might get the Logitech v470 or MS Netbook 5000 which are compatible with the droid bionic so im guessing theyll work with our phone too..

Any suggestions for a 13" 15" lcd with hdmi support ?? Have just found TVs till now but no luck with LCD panels or even monitors, and TVs are somewhat out of my budget for now..
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
I was shopping around one of these, until i met the lapdock... you can get the whole bundle cheaper than a decent bluetooth keyboard. It also charges your phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
i did search for the combo but didnt find this particular one here in India, not even on ebay or amazon(junglee)
[HTC Sensation] AmeesingNoob:
Hello there, brilliant human-beings!

I am a noob. But hey, there's more! I'm not just a noob, I'm a PRETEEN noob.

I can actually hear you guys think "Oh god, it just got even worse!" and Yes, it just did.

Anyway, here's my problem.

I'm a proud owner of this nice and shiny

HTC Sensation

. It's fast, thin, well built and it's battery life sucks.

I know this problem is a known one, but my battery is a special kind: NOW LASTS 2 HOURS WHEN AWAKE!

When I switched to a new ROM + Kernel (

Android Revolution HD + kernel 0.2.5.2 by faux123

), my phone worked Quietly Brilliant, this was the best rom I've ever used. A few weeks later, I charged my phone with the USB power of my computer while watching a nice episode of House MD, when something strange happened: The

screen went black and the phone was turned off while being charged

.

The orange led went out, then on for one second, then it started blinking.

I knew there was something wrong, so I searched the XDA forums and found out I just had to be patient and to reset the battery-stats, so I did.

I switched my phone to an original HTC charger and after a few minutes the led stopped blinking and burned continuesly.

When the led turned green, I turned it on and removed the charger. Now,

my battery only lasts 2 hours

.

System information:

Name:	HTC Sensation Z710e (Pyramid, S-OFF)

Serial number:	SH163V809350

Root:	Revolutionary

Recovery:	ClockworkMod v5.0.1.0

Processor:	Normal clock speed, see kernel

Kernel:	2.6.35.13-gc35910f - HTC-kernel@and18-2 - SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 23 2011

Radio:	10.14.9035.01_M

ROM:	InsertCoin 3.4.4

Android-version:	2.3.5

Solutions tried:

"Have you checked and reset the battery stats?" --Worked one day

"Did you try a different ROM or Kernel?" --Problem still persists

Solutions to try:

"maybe the battery is dead." by stonew5082

Solutions trying right now:

"flash EddyOS Sense 3.5 ROM" by Jump1ng --Seems to work! Testing for one more day.
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
maybe the battery is dead. Maybe you killed it accidentally.
[HTC Sensation] AmeesingNoob:
Thanks for the idea Stonew5082. I'll buy a new battery and see if it works.
[HTC Sensation] Jump1ng:
I would get the anker battery replacement its only about £10 and for me its increased my battery life tremendously and it also sounds like something is wrong with your battery.

I also flashed EddyOS Sense 3.5 ROM and it also has helped with my battery life.
[HTC Sensation] akashastrega:
It does sound like you may have a bad battery, if "training" your battery (completely drain then charge via wall, repeat 2-3x) hasn't worked for you.

On another note...for a "pre-teen n00b", you write rather eloquently! I think you may have found your niche and should consider a career in writing for your future.
[HTC Sensation] AmeesingNoob:
Thank you akashastrega! Maybe I will someday.
[HTC Sensation] AmeesingNoob:
This one?
[HTC Sensation] Jump1ng:
Yeap thats the one.
[HTC Sensation] M3nti0n:
I understand that you'd reset ut battery stats while it was not charged at all, this is wrong anyhow.

Charge the battery fully with the stock wall charger, and then reset battery stats.

this can be done with the battery callibration app on the market, without any problems, it will reset the battery stats as soon as ur battery is 100% charged.

do not charge the battery before its almost falling out, for atleast 6 cicles.

i hope it will work, for me it did :)

p.s.: if its not working, try this: Battery jump fix. if that does not work, you should get an anker battery theyr not that expansive on amazon.com, and they last longer ;)
[HTC Sensation] AmeesingNoob:
Thanks a lot Jump1ng!

The ROM you recommended somehow fixed the problem, even for other ROMS.

My problem is fixed:).
[Motorola Droid X2] jakereeves31:
So, I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but I was wondering if there is something I can flash that will just change my lock screen cause I'm tired of the lock screen where I just have two options....slide right to unlock and slide left for sound. I'm running Eclipse v1. 3. Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks:)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I don't know about flashing to change lockscreen...

but you can try widgetlocker, go locker, QQlauncher, or something similar from market to change up your lockscreen ...there are a few apps available that allow for customized lockscreen ...even allowing u to add widgets or custom sliders to the lockscreen ...

good luck ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Liberty X3 you can choose the rotation slider.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
On Molten you can choose rotary too.

Ash is right though, those would be the best options.
[Motorola Droid X2] jakereeves31:
I just don't want it killing my battery
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yeah I understand that...

I was also trying to find a way to just replace an apk or something easy like flashing something to get different lockscreen so I don't have an app constantly running to change it...

hopefully someone who knows how to make flashable locksxreens will see this and give us a few choices ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
ICS theme has a nice lockscreen!
[Motorola Droid X2] jakereeves31:
I'm thinking about trying out Liberty 3
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
Lockscreens are difficult to add. There aren't any options for an actual lockscreen replacement (besides using Molten or Liberty which allow for Rotary). Lockscreen changes require much smali editing that doesn't seem worth it.

I just hope we can get CM7 soon...
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
If you want. Go to UOT Kitchen and upload your systeemUI and framework-res apks and make your own lock screen with the options there" then it will cook you a flashable zip. Its pretty neat!
[Motorola Droid X2] johnaferraro:
Magic Lock is great

Magic Lock from the market is nice. they have 20 or so different themes with different locks and shortcut keys to apps while your phone is locked. Heres a screen shot of my current lock screen.
[Motorola Droid X2] jakereeves31:
How's that on your battery?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
also very curious...

the wakelock on widgetlocker kills me
[Motorola Droid X2] jakereeves31:
Eh, I didn't like that app
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Is the lockscreen really that big of a deal? I have seen multiple post of you asking for your lockscreen. I believe you even tried liberty x and still not happy. Seems like a lot of work for a lockscreen.
[Motorola Droid X2] jakereeves31:
Haha. Well it's a big deal to me. They coulda at least made the lockscreen on Liberty more customizable
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Just seems like many people gave you options and you are very hard to please. I personally like the lockscreen for the ICS theme. You should check those out in theme section. Then if all else fails start by Google uop kitchen and learn to make your own.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Ive been very happy with WidgetLocker. Im trying out MagicLocker right now though just to change it up. If you are worried about battery life, just stay with the default lock screen. Any locker app will probably have an effect on your battery. Sorry.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
the lockscreen is a pretty big deal to me.

I settled on widgetlocker.

Its not as good as CHT & winmo, but its the best I found so far.
[Motorola Droid X2] WasabiWa83:
Go Locker is one of my favs. After switching to this from Widget Locker, I've noticed a little better battery life. I would try it out for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
hello guys so i was looking at this project for Motorola Droid X:

http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/

since Droid X has similar OMAP3630 chipset i thought we could try it out for this device...

if it has already been tried out by u guys then sorry for dupe post ;)

anyways the sources available (milestone-overclock-module-1.4.8.tar.gz) were not directly compatible with the i9003 kernel sources (GB_CHN_UPDATE1) so i have modified it slightly.... and now the module gets compiled and it gets loaded (by insmod)... the sysfs and proc interface is active... even the app (MilestoneOverclock148.apk) detects the module correctly... but the changes dont work...

i invite all devs to help out with this...

modified sources are posted here:

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/i9003-overclock

noobs kindly dont spam this thread....

P.S.:

Droid X has got overclock upto 1.4GHz with help of this so i am sure we can try little more overclock than 1.1GHz
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
If you look at the Samsung code in arch/arm/mach-omap2 and /plat-omap, and compare it with code seen for example in the nook color sources (OMAP 3630, see here), there are HUGE differences.

Normally the opp frequency table seems to be hard coded and easy to edit. Samsung on the other hand decided to dynamically assemble it in board-latona.c with info from cpufreq34xx.c (if I overlook that correctly). These differences could be the reason the module does not work.

Further, the line Amit and you changed in clock.c could - but I am not quite sure - actually lead to 10% higher clocks on every opp step. Because what you changed

- mpurate *= 1000000;
+ mpurate *= 1100000;

is a conversion factor from MHz to Hz. The line

if (mpurate < 1000)

above seems to be a logical check if the desired clock has been given in Hz or MHz, which is expected to be at max 800 for the 3630. For our 3640 the highest frequency is 1000, which would require the check to be

if (mpurate < 1001)

or similar, but they might have overlooked this change. If the input is below this boundary, it is thought to be in MHz, and is converted to match the internal logic which works with Hz only.

And two more questions: I experimented a lot with the OC code, and even added two new opps (1100/840 and 1200/865) to my tables. I could select them, and everything including cpufreq scaling tables was correct, but the CPU never was actually clocked above 1000MHz. Do you know why? And did you check if it is with your kernel (compare benchmark values, do not trust any other source, they all lie ;))?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
previously i was also having milestone A853 and by the overclock module it can be overclocked to 1.2 ghz
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
Yes I know the changes in diff omap kernel sources... Spent a few hrs today comparing milestone/droid x and i9003 kernel sources to get this module complied and loading...

I am sure that the change done by amit is correct, because there is a very prominent change in linpack scores ~18 compared to ~16 which is typical of a 10% overclock...

As for ur other two questions I posted this earlier in the other thread

P.S.: the chip on this phone is OMAP3630
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
OK, so the overclock is working. Nice :D Concerning the mpurate, have a look here. The author is working at TI, so I expect him to be familiar with the code. However, that does not mean we can't use the conversion factor for overclock. It's just not "clean".

Yep, you're right. Got that wrong :)

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

And another idea: For the Nook Color, there is a guy who implemented an interface and an app to change the clocks. It is different from droid-overclock, because he implemented a sysfs interface in the kernel sources. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akashsgpgi:
http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/

sorry its of no use:o as yr already checked it out
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
That looks very much like the sysfs interface we added for VDD control on QSD8250/MSM7X30... Should work I think...

U should be BANNED for spamming.... The link u posted is already there in the second line of the main post...

READ!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
I made progress with the sysfs interface seen on the Nook. Kernel boots, and the correct rates are displayed under /sys/power/mpu_freq_oppX. I was also able to set the hightest opp to 800 MHz, so that the two highest were both at the same frequency. The setting worked (confirmed with Linpack). But 1100 MHz was ignored (stayed at 1000). Looking into this further.
