[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mm1999:
I can't really post a link but it seems like it has access to more than just your general txt/call/web data

From what I read in an article from Huffingtonpost.com

"The application, which is labeled on Eckhart’s HTC smartphone as "HTC IQ Agent," also logs the URL of websites searched on the phone, even if the user intends to encrypt that data using a URL that begins with "HTTPS," Eckhart said."

and from electronista.com

"The video also shows that the software records keystrokes. It likewise records calls with network strength values, which primarily allows carriers to fix problems but could also be used to intercept data. CarrierIQ is also collecting keystrokes of incompleted calls and even random keystrokes, or more than it needs

When using Wi-Fi, CarrierIQ records website security information, including URL and even passwords sent over the ostensibly secure HTTPS. This doesn't involve Sprint, as it's on Wi-Fi, so it shouldn't be recorded, Holly concludes."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
In my opinion, it's one thing to know that a carrier obviously has access to much of this information if and when they should need it for court orders and other legal reasons. It's an entirely other thing though to specifically have software installed and intertwined into the core of the phone that has the potential to feed this information in another manner which obviously isn't explained to the end user.

I don't do anything on my phone that I wouldn't want them to see for very obvious reasons as stated above. But I would like to have at least the 'appearance' that not everything I do is going to be sifted through by AT&T or a 3rd party vendor. This type of software and the relative 'hush-hush' nature of it doesn't give me that feeling. It's like a rogue app just sitting in a dormant state waiting for AT&T or whoever to fire it up and log away.

Ok I'll end the paranoia and I don't think we have a basis to point our finger one way or the other yet, but clearly it's something I think that needs to be clarified and understood better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pj1000:
Back in the olde timey days when folks just had land lines with which to communicate, the FCC made it illegal for third parties - yes, even carriers - to intercept and disclose conversations of their customers to third parties. Have we come all the way around to "let them use my personal communications as they see fit since they have it anyway?" I never thought I would see relatively sophisticated users, such as several of those contributing here, say "I do nothing wrong so I don't care who uses my data and for what purpose." Yikes.

I to agree with the carriers already know EVERYTHING we do. Whether we like it or not, that's how it works. But that takes place on THEIR end.

What I don't like is not knowing if it's secure. Main reason so many people were ticked their iphone were tracking them. Most knew it could be done, but the fact it stored that info on their phone with no encryption what-so-ever.

This is on OUR end now. The more ways to access everything we do, the greater the security risk.

If I get the choice, I'm definitely getting it off my phone. But if they prove it's without doubt secure? I still don't like it, but I'd feel a whole lot better about it. So what's the chance that will happen?

fast is not a subjective and personal so please do not close this thread.

only needs to be fast and have a fast opening camera and low time shot to shot

i do not want ICS as its really buggy

i do not want cm7 as it had crappy battery and the camera is super slow on it

i do not want MIUI since i have an iphone now and it would feel redundant (ill go to miui if i have to)
[Captivate General] b-eock:
Your gonna get flamed and you just ruled out the fastest ROMs around...

[Captivate General] reinbeau:
Thread closed

Fast/Best/Etc. ROMs are subjective. Go try some ROMs and see what suits you; read the features thoroughly to see if any one mentions the camera particularly.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Speed not subjective? There you are mistaken as it will depending on what you have running on your phone on how fast it will be. The more apps running the slower it will be. Take my rom for example, this rom is run by a few others and because as I test I don't install anything during testing it zips. It slows down a little after I restore my apps and stuff. So how fast your phone reacts is subjective to how you use it.

Now as stated above. Your best bet is to try them out and see. You removed the so called fastest roms from your options being CM7. I would never suggest MIUI to anyone but you removed that to. So try and see.

just removed the root with odin but i put 3 network firmware on & its stuck on 3 network splashscreen back and forward with galaxy s2 screen,should not have done that i made a mistake ?? should i have put 02 firmware on as i think that was the simcard the previous owner had in it,but my vodafone sim worked in it ? what have i done ??

ive now tried 02 & vodafone firmware & they are both stuck in splashscreen loop

ohh my god now i think i remember it was orange it was on

will this do anything to the phone if i keep trying all these firmwares ?

f**k sake all doing the same thing i honestly cant remember seeing a network splashscreen on the phone when i got it,how can i sort this mess please help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If you can enter download mode, you don't have to worry and everything will be fine. Just take your time sorting this out and not making stupid mistakes. I've seen people with the same problem, to really screw up their phone because they had no patience.

1) Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery. If not, you get stock recovery. It doesn't matter which appears.

2) Choose to wipe user data from the menu.

3. reboot

If it still does not boot, flash again the rom of your choice.

ps flashing again and again does nothing bad to your phone :)

hi,when i go into recovery mode i have odin mode with picture of android & says downloading do not turn off,how long does that stay like that & i have no wipe data coming up,lastnight i removed root from phone i tried all diffrent stock roms voda,o2,3,orange & they all do the same thing,i just want the phone back to factory default

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eXtremeLT:
Hey every1,

i got weird problem with all ics roms, even SD <

I can successfully install tytung beta1 rom and run it, but beta2+ roms and similar ones, and SD build all have same thing:

i have random freezes/stuck at bootlogo(it doesn't freeze, it simply continues to do the animation forever), only ONCE it booted, but since i needed kernel fix(for headphones) to apply - i restarted, and wasn't able to boot in successfully again. Now almost all the time i get freeze/reboot after ~5-10sec after i get into ics rom, SD build doesn't boot at all.

Partitioning problem? - have tried many partition layouts.(like 190/10,200/10,210/10,200/20,230/20,210/20 and so on, also with different bootloader partition size up to 8mb)

Also i have always used task29 and fully wiped everything and reinstalled from scratch, still didn't helped.

Also tried to boot with plugged in usb cable/without it or with/without memory card in.

Maby it's radio version problem, or don't know, what else can cause the problem?(radio ver:2.15.50.14)

Between i have created big cache/memory sometimes(up to 250mb partition/44mb cache) - and still it didn't worked fine :/ also tried different clockworkmod versions(3.0.0.5 and 5.something), magldr 1.13

p.s. i have europian hd2(not t-mobile)

or maby i'm partitioning it wrong? i change partition sizes inside flash.cfg and after i flash clockworkmod(i do task29 before that, and install fresh magldr), maby i should change somewhere else/more?

Also formatted memory card many times(sdformatter) and redownloaded roms, still same result.

p.s. tried ~3ics beta2+ roms(not sure mb even more), and 1sd rom

Edited:

forgot to mention, when phone kinda freezes(the boot animation/startguide for ics) - when i press physical buttons - the backlight appears and after that dims away as it does on every other android rom, so it kinda feels that rom isn't frozen, only the screen. Also sometimes after getting ics welcome screen - after ~5-10sec it gets back to bootloading animation and does it over and over again...

I am using the ICS beta 3 now, I have updated with every release and I didn't get this problem. It sounds like something crazy, you may just have to wait a little bit because ICS is still very beta... Check out HD2 Toolkit as well it makes it much easier flashing..

Wait, I didnt didn't see that you were having problems with cm7.. :-( I'm afraid I just wasted your time on my reply..

What Clockworkk mod recovery are you using?

And how are you transfering your data to your SD card?

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Try backing up your entire SD card, and then reformat it completely.

Then task29 and wipe everything.

I think you said you use magldr, since your having these problems try cLK

Use just a simple 220MB 5MB cache on HD2 Toolkit

Install ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 as it is the newest one.

Transfer your zip file to your SD card using a card reader.

Install and see if ICS will boot.

Try that and see if it works. It should work.

Question. Do you have this same problem with any roms besides CM7 and ICS?

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

Don't forget when using cLk you download the main zip file for the rom, and then a separate zip for the cLK kernal..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dr_gibberish:
I am having a problem where the stock MMS (messaging) app closes every time I try to run it. I get a force close message on boot up and each time I try to run it I hangs for a minute and then force closes. I think this may be related to my attempt to restore my MMS history from my previous phone (using Titanium) as I just switched to the E4GT from the Epic 4G this week. I was able to get the data to migrate fine at first and then at some point the old messages disappeared from the app and then after I rebooted the app just force closed.

While I would like to get those old messages back, the bigger problem is that I cannot seem to fix the force closes. I have tried:

Clearing app data

Using root explorer to paste in a copy of stock messaging app into system/apps

Using a clockwork mod flashable zip I found of the stock app and installing it in CWM and wiping dalvik and cache

None of this has any effect.

Any other thoughts about what I could do short of going back to stock with Odin? FYI, I am running EG30-Stock-deodexV3-withCIQ along with LoStKernel-1.0.2.4

I started this thread because i want to be able to use Sparksco kernel v14 but it freezes when its set to 1.0GHZ I been running v10 as my daily kernel and its bottomline on my top list of kernels. Any help will be much appreciated, im on the latest nightly CM255, i had to revert back to v10 because i need speed to check emails and surf the internet...If theres another update for the V14 in the future i hope that can be a fix or its probably my setup that prevents me from reaching any higher speeds, overall Sparksco you the man!!! By the way ICS devs yall get mad props peace...
[EVO Shift 4G General] peanjr:
I use sparks v14 kernel on cm nightly 255 clocked right under 1ghz using smartass governer no problem. I did a full wipe of everything, and formatted system before install of everything of course.

[EVO Shift 4G General] prguzman1978:

[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Kernel v14 is more geared for battery saving. I haven't updated the voltages yet because I'm not compiling gingerbread anymore, rather been working on getting a stable ICS rom build before I do more work on it. As soon as we get ICS gingerbread will be a thing of the past. Kernel v14 works good for some and v10 for others. I like v14 because of the battery I've been able to get on 122mhz min and 998mhz max. But if you up the min to the next highest setting (230mhz) you shouldn't get any lockups. Or even try 307mhz.

Edit: looks like 307mhz min is the only clock speed that allows me to overclock to 2ghz and not have any lockups. I'm also on cm nightly 255 pzguzman, and I always keep it on smartass governor.

P.S. The mods should be able to move this thread no problem without removing the comments or thread.
[EVO Shift 4G General] peanjr:
Yeah, forgot to mention as sparks said, at 2ghz the min is at 307mhz.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prguzman1978:
Oh okay i see Sparksco thanks for clarifying the setup, i dont mean to steer anybody in the wrong direction especially from working on a ICS BUILD which is the most highly anticipated OS for android. But im going to flash v14 and try out the setting and will get back and let you know thanx homie...
[EVO Shift 4G General] prguzman1978:
No luck but its amazing how you guys achieve the speeds... Tried the settings but my phone cant handle the pressure lol...Im gonna stick with this kernel tho... My bad for posting this thread in the wrong section its a rookie mistake...

[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
YOU'RE USING THE WRONG GOVERNOR MIN/MAX SETTINGS

For example:

IF I want to get 2ghz out of my phone I use the performance governor and use min/max of 2ghz.

OR:

I would use:

Gov: Smartass

Min CPU: 300mhz

Max CPU: 1.5ghz

You would freeze too if you were a CPU constantly going from 100mhz to 2000mhz all the time!
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Glad you got it working.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Smartass2 was made for the HTC Sensation which is a dual core gsm phone much like the Evo 3D (but cdma instead). I could never get it to clock passed 1.4ghz so I don't think it likes our phones much. It's a great concept but the normal old smartass still works much better for the shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danibri82:
FWIW I am hitting 2.0Ghz with no lockups or anything. I previously had been using ScaryStable for a while and anything past 1.6Ghz would lock right up nearly immediately.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Again, it depends on the governor and the min cpu. I ran scary stable at 1.9ghz for 24 hours+ straight, no lockups.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danibri82:
for the heck of it I ran it @ the min of like 1something hz for the low and 2.0 max just to see how it ran, and it was solid.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
I understand but say you ran scary at min 100mhz and max 1.9ghz with a gov of ondemand, that would freeze for sure on any phone.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I think what he's saying is that he ran this kernel (pershoot v14) with a low min and a high max and it ran fine.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
1.0 ghz is not a low min.

AGAIN: USING THE CORRECT GOV IS CRITICAL
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I'm getting over 16 hours of battery on pershoot v14 :-D

[EVO Shift 4G General] Enraged21:
Sparksco, you can make one hell of a kernel. I remember using one of your kernels before pershoot and I got 34 hours out of it. Love your work man!
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I'm testing out conservative governor right now to see if it's better on battery compared to smartass. I'll post my results.

Moderate - heavy usage

Shifted from my EVO
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Shift deck rom is pretty bad a** :-D

I have some nice new mods coming up to help battery on various roms in mind for my patch3 that should help quite a bit. And will also support ICS roms.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Conservative governor is working really well for me to clock to 2GHZ max and 307MHZ min, no lockups at at all. Any other governor and I get lockups. I'll probably make conservative the default gov on the next kernel. Other than that smartass gov works good for battery on 122MHZ min and 988MHZ max

Hey sparksco could i ask you for a favor? Would you be able to post up a link for v10 again? Or if possible it linked on kernal manager. Thanks again for a great kernal.

[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:

[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Pershoot 14 is a great great kernel.
[EVO Shift 4G General] halrulez:
I can only run 14 in performance mode at any speed anyother way it locks up on me. 10 i can run ondemand and conservative. From lowest to 1.7 but i keep it at 1.5
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Set your min cpu to 400mhz and your max CPU to 1.2ghz and use smartass governor.

Download nofrills and set i/o scheduler to BFQ. (optional but faster)

The problem is when you use your phone your phone is going from like 100mhz to 1700mhz in less than a second based on the governor rules. That's why only performance works because performance keeps it at 1.7. You would be a pissed off CPU too if you had to go from ~100mhz to 1.7ghz in less than a second too.

I feel like I need to write a guide on this. You're the second person today and probably 4 or 5 people a month complain about this issue. I didn't even understand it myself until I talked to ScaryGhoul a few months ago when I was on my benchmark/tweaker binge.

Pershoot 14 had the highest scores on Antutu, Linpack and Quadrant with BFQ scheduler, Class 10 SD card and CPU at 1.9ghz on performance.

My current shift can't do 1.9ghz (Also rev 004 which is weird) so I can't be a tweaker anymore. :(

I'm going to try dodge kernel 1.6aosp at 1.9ghz (UKE rom only) before I send back my old shift.

[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Obviously this is not a development thread but instead more of a informational thread about the kernel pershoot v14 (not v10), and how to get the kernel to run stable on different settings. So I won't be posting links without gpl kernel sources or anything like that because this is in general and not development. For me the only goverenor that clocks to 2Ghz stable is conservative for whatever reason. Default Simple i/o scheduler with 307 min and 2ghz max. If it doesn't run stable for you then don't run it, install clockworkworkmod, download v10 and keep it somewhere safe where you won't loose it.

These kernels come with absolutely no warrenty whatsoever, use and flash at your own risk.
