Every rom I've tried built off of froyo/gingerbread has always started off fantastic and within 1-2 weeks it slows down and becomes crappy to use again. Right now I'm running cyanogenmod nightly 181.

Anybody else have this issue or can point me in the right direction to pinpoint the problem?

If you want the weather backgrounds delete the weather app from you installed applications before you flash. If not you can remove the idlescreenweather.apk from the zip using 7zip.

Screenshot looks like theme includes a modded HTC_ime.apk? Is that included, or did you mod it thru framework?

I followed links to DL, but it took me to a site with 3 "download here" banners, but no info on file size or name. A bit leery to DL from there. Is that the right host?

Thanks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1n0m3n:
I am in the same room with an Evo 3d. It gets a constant 4 bars, and can receive calls all day. My Nexus S misses about 50% of its incoming calls. (And often has 0 bars/no signal/emergency calls only, etc.)

It has been that way since day one... Any non-Nexus phone has no issues on Sprint, but the Nexus has nothing but problems. For now, I just live with it.

Lesson learned: Stay away from phones on Sprint that have signal issues. It will never get fixed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubnub82:
I just talked with some of my friends on Sprint and they are getting a bad signal also. My friend has a 4S and can't connect to 3G at all since yesterday and my friend with the Epic has grey bars. It seems better than yesterday though since I actually have 2 bars in 3G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wctom:
When the NS4G first came out there were multiple complaints about the bad quality of both the phone and the data signals. People were hoping that the fault lied in the software and would be solved by updates. Well, several updates later, I don't see much difference.

The poor signaling is almost certainly hardware-based, and Sprint is not going to do anything about it at this late date.
[HTC Desire S] jrdallas38:
I saw here allready many threads about the new hboot. Some use it for only stock kernel with new android 2.3.5/sense 3.0.

Is it needed for the other roms here, f.e. endymion v3.0? If not, is there any advantage?

Last month i returned my device twice, after emmc problem, so i'm thinking twice now... Luckily both times it was completely dead, so warranty worked!

Grtz.

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
There is, as of today, no end user advantage, proven or implied, of having the newer hboot as compared to the older one.

While the logic behind the conception of the new hboot sounds intuitive, the current repository of firmware available is fully compatible, and if i may venture, better suited to the older hboot.

As they say, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it."

Stay with the old hboot.

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] MikeDVH:
Having had an Otterbox Defender for my old iPhone, I am hooked on the idea of getting a similar set up for my Sensation - especially since the case saved my phone from liquid damage a number of times!

Turns out no-one does one (as far as I can tell, anyway). Worse still, is that Otterbox apparently have no intention of doing one either! Take a look at this half-baked reply I got from Otterbox cust servs...

"Mike,

I love to hear how much of a fan you are of our products! Unfortunately we won’t be making a defender for the Sensation. We only offer the commuter case for that phone. I don’t have an exact reason why we will not be making one. If you have any other questions please let me know."

I'm guessing it might have something to do with the slight slope at the side of the glass??? Emphasis on the word guessing there! Either way, that was very bad news.

I've read all the reviews of the tougher cases on here which are all very useful, but just in case I've missed something, does anyone know of any defender-esque, fully encapsulating case for the Sensation? Or failing that, does anyone know if there might be one coming out soon?

Thanks loads,

Everybody is free to test. Just subscribe to this thread and keep flashing builds. They will be constantly updated very quickly.
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Subscribe - Everything will be posted here

Due to the large amount of testers, I think it'll be better if I post builds in this thread, and then you can go out testing. If anybody sees a bug, post it here, so that all other testers can confirm.

This also means that anybody who isn't an 'official' tester can also test, I do not mind. Just make sure you give good feedback.

Stable

For now, flash the stable as it shouldn't have any problems but report anything fishy.

I will be continuously posting builds, so keep a nandroid of this to be safe.
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Build #2

Build #2

Changelog:

-Cleaned up build.prop

-Increased LCD density from 204 to 216 (still down from stock 240)

Should be stable, but who knows.

Try to install stuff from Market. It might say 'incompatible with device' so then go to CM settings and put compatibility mode ON. Then try.
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Build #3

Changelog:

-Based on Build #2

-Edited ICS keyboard. Comment on any strange behaviour as I have removed languages. Also, comment on how good it is and if it is too small.

Please send me screenshots of the ICS keyboard.

Thanks.

[Atrix 4G General] coolnow:
Hey!

Nice ROM! Fingerprint works (thank's Atrix Dev-Team!), no FC, everything seems very speedy. 1 suggestion, maybe increase the resolution? It's far too small for everyday use, especially when walking around outside ;)

Also, i noticed there's no theme chooser, is that on purpose? Nice lockscreen themes btw, hope you give credit where it's due ;)

It also seems to be themed (the reboot menu options look different) so it's a system level theme which actually looks nice, but i can't try since i already had LunarUI applied. Let me revert it and install the ROM again, i'll post a screenshot of how it looks like.

Also i was on STABLE version, i'll install Build #4 to test the new LCD Density and keyboard.
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Build #4

Build #4

Changelog:

*Test build!*

-Based on Build #3

-Removed ICS keybaord to test Blur keyboard (if it works or not)

-Replaced services.jar to allow 1% battery mod

Try the keyboard and (if it works) post me screenies of it. Also, there's a bug that the battery only goes down in 5% steps, the services.jar should fix it, so comment on whether it has.

EDIT: THIS IS UNSTABLE!!! DO NOT FLASH!!!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Yes, the removal of theme chooser was on purpose. If I release the Rom, I'll make a .zip to reapply it, but for now, I can't.

Everything is supposed to look 'smaller' but the screenies look like it's a bit toooo small.

Try build #2+ as I have increased the LCD density a bit and post me screenies again.
[Atrix 4G General] coolnow:
I'm aware it's supposed to look smaller, and i'm glad that finally we're seeing the full potential of our screen realised. However, as you said, it was a bit tooo small in the first build, i'm trying build #4, does that have the updated densities?
[Atrix 4G General] Notorious544d:
Yes #2+ has updated.

Still smaller than stock (240).

But bigger than current (204)

It's now at 216.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Supposedly someone got the update (the only person to report getting it) and it bricked their phone lol. You make the call if you think this is true or not.

" At about 4:18pm I noticed my phone's icons had changed in the notification bar and it tells me it has an update. I check and it turns out today is the day for Gingerbread. Well the instructions say it'll take 17-18 minutes to install, so I let it go ahead and do the install.

Just 17-18 minutes later it finished installing and rebooted, without me doing a single thing to the phone during the whole process. After a couple of minutes at the loading screen with the red thing in the middle, it rebooted. Then still sat there...and it has been on an endless cycle of this rebooting every like 5 or 10 minutes and doing NOTHING.

I tried holding the power button and it just reset it and did the same thing still, tried the power + home button reset and no change, and even took the battery out of the phone.

Looks like I gingerbricked my STOCK ANDROID charge!!!!! Thanks a lot verizon! Sitting in your store tonight while you fix this is just what I wanted to do. "

[Verizon Droid Charge] WildH:
Why is it so hard to believe someone got an update and it didn't take? if I were updating customers devices, I would do it in very small batches to start with and then mass roll out after it is proven successful; solely for the reason that if it is jacking up devices, I don't want thousands of customers pissed until we could figure out what caused it. even if you tested extensively before pushing it out, there are so many variables that could cause a problem. Real world scenarios can be completely different than lab.

Long story short, why knock a guy who reports a problem or call them a liar when it looks to me they were simply trying to communicate their experience for the betterment of the community?

Hell if it were causing boot loops and master resets were required by even 5% of the people, I'd want to know so I could make sure certain things (contacts, pictures, home screen settings, etc) were backed up before accepting the update!

Just bought the phone yesterday, and I noticed that this is the 2nd Samsung phone that is having these WiFi issues.

Sorry of this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. Google is no help as the searches weren't specific to SGS2 I777 for AT&T.

I can connect to wifi, but the speeds are horrendous! I have a 60mb connection at home connected to my wireless router.

Every phone, iPhone 3GS, iPod, HTC Inspire, iPhone 4S - all have no wifi issues resulting in slow download speeds. Each having a download speed of 5-7 mb or more.

The SGSII, gives me the following results when connected to WiFi:

and the connections just don't get anywhere near what my other phones can get in download speeds. AND - this is my second Samsung phone in 3 weeks. 3 weeks ago I had the Infuse 4G, and it had the same issue. Took it back. Then got the SGS2 on special :D, but I'm thinking of taking it back before my 14 days is up if nothing can be solved.

When its off WiFi I can get 3-5mps down/.85mps up.

Is this an issue that a custom ROM can fix?

Are there Radios that can fix this WiFi issue?

When phones first come out it's not uncommon for them to have issues that need to be ironed out.

The iphone 4 would drop signal when 'held wrong'. The captivate couldn't get a gps lock to save it's life, atrix couldn't use 4g, plus many others. After they were in consumers hands fixes got rolled out in less than 6 months(usually), or a fix was available even sooner from xda :-)

1) Are you using a case? Some people have had severe problems with some cases.

2) The TCP buffer sizes in the stock kernel are a bit small - the buffersize fixes in my kernel fixed it for some people. However for cell data, it's probably just AT&T. In 90% of the country you're lucky to see 3 Mbps.
