[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ungarisch:
TMO customer service has gone to **** over the last year, ever since they moved the call center to the Philippines, its just a bunch of under qualified and under educated clown working there. Last time I called in a tech told me to switch off my phone for 2 hours and when I turned it back on it would work. Seriously?

Anyways..

Orange, Romania is the Mobile Operator, which I'm pretty sure runs 3G on UMTS2100, which this phone has, and so does my HTC G2

My phone currently is running on the de-CIQ'd stock ROM that I got from the developer forum.

I assume the roms has the stock kernel and radio in it. Does the kernel or radio control mobile data? Could switching kernels or radios possibly solve this?

This is kind of a big deal no? I'm sure I'm not the only person that would like to use 3G overseas!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Romania

3G only on 900 Mhz or 2100 Mhz

so maybe the area you were in, did not have the 2100 Mhz tower, and only the 900 Mhz towers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heinrich:
Agreed this is most likely. 2100 is NEWER in most GSM countries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
I don't get any outsourced customer service. You're likely 1) Prepaid/Flexpay 2) calling in too much 3) showing out on the phone with the reps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ungarisch:
but then I dont understand why my HTC G2 gets 3G?? would it have the 900mhz then even tho its not published?

I switched to Monthly4G service as ATT&T insurance...

This can only mean one thing then, the GSII was never supposed to work in europe, and that the HTC G2 and the HTC Desire Z have the same internals and are triband 900/1700/2100 phones.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F-bone:
Hi guys,

A friend of mine (he knew I could do this for him but ignored to ask me) somehow flashed his HTC Desire with nexusone hboot 0.35 and installed cyanogen. This now causes a lot of problems and I cannot go back to desire hboot even if I s-offed the nexus hboot with blackrose.

I have tried Fastboot commander to flash Desire hboot, tried with PASSIMG.zip to trick nexus hboot to load original desire rom and nothing happens.

Please help me install desire hboot and then use the classic unrevoked and alpharev method to root and s-off and then install a custom rom to this phone.

Your help is greatly needed and appreciated - I can even buy a beer or two for your help - sorry cannot afford much more than that.

BR,

George

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AntsInMyPants:
I cannot figure out why my Flyer reverts to reporting that it is in Darien, CT whenever it does not have a WiFi or GPS signal.

Even if the device has recently locked in my actual location, it will go back to reporting I'm in Darien (note: I have never been there with the device) when it loses the GPS signal or is no longer connected to my Wifi Router (router's location is registered).

I am using the official HC release from Globatron.

Anyone know what's causing this? Is there a way to change the default location?

Thanks!

My xperia play has problems running certain games lika FIFA 12 and other downloaded games,constantly lagging in the middle of gameplay.I've looked around certain threads and most users don't face similar problems.

Now I've tried overclocking,deleting lots of bloatware and still have this problem.I then found out that the framerate drops a lot when i tested its graphic performance.

Is there a way to prevent the framerate to drastically fall when I play games like FIFA 12 because it's lagging really bad.Sorry if what I posted makes no sense.I just wanted my games to run the way they are supposed to.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torombolo:
Ive had similar issues now, the first 3 weeks was flawless no lag, nothing, recently it has been lagging a bit, but it happens some times... i jus try and close any programs running in the background and free the RAM.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Even though I've freed so much ram and even overclocked I'm getting the same issue.Been using for 5 months now and this started happening since the 3rd week as well.Since then I've been trying to reinstall the firmware,the apps,everything but to no avail.

Ok thanks I'll see if it works cause I've tried it before and it didn't manage to work the first time.As I said the problem is with the framerate.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Didn't work.Lagging as usual. -_-
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
You shouldn't have to do all that. It sounds like there maybe is something wrong with your play.

A few things:

1. Clear your text messages. Having excessive messages jams this thing up quick, I have my limit set at 50 per convo and I delete any conversation I'm not actively participating in for a day or two

2. DO NOT KILL TASKS. This only makes the phone run worse. When you're playing a game its starting tasks from apps that want to update or whatever in the background which causes lag. It will take a few days to calibrate itself back but never kill tasks. The phone will allocate all the memory needed for whatever you're trying to run, this is not Windows you don't need to clear memory.

3. If you haven't already get yourself a Sandisk Class 4 memory card (Do not get a class 10). This is generally considered the optimal SD card for this device.

Doing these things only, my play is bone stock, WITH bloatware on it and all, and I only suffer very very very occasional stutter but otherwise no lag whatsoever.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Thanks I'll take it that to consideration.As I keep rebooting,repairing the phone as in reinstalling the software via SEMC,my messages are pretty much empty,removed bloatware,didn't run any task killer after advice given.And should I not use supercharger at all?I've been using it for awhile and it'll be a hassle removing it though it doesn't cause problems and does not improve performance significantly.

BTW,is the memory card an important factor here? I mean does it improve the gaming performance?I am actually having my games stuttering very very often and not actually lagging,so I don't think my phone's actually experiencing problems as suspected.Is the memory card that comes with the play any good?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Again,is the memory card that important?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Games don't run from the SD card, they are loaded into ram. so it shouldnt be a factor apart from loading times.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
I see.The problem is,My games keep stuttering in every game that I've played with or without taskkiller and even when I've removed bloatware.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
It may just be a bad flash. I recently flashed the latest firmware, using flashtool and it was a mess, apps force closing everywhere laggy ui ect. I reflashed and everything was back to normal.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Well mine was the generic firmware which my phone wasn't an unlocked bootloader so it was a stock one so I don't understand why they keep stuttering.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Still getting nothing good out of the games on my phone.Bummer.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
With the factory SD card as well as my original replacement 16gb Class 2 card I noticed lag in games. Once I replaced it with a Class 4 card the lag was gone. The whole game, and not even the whole level loads to memory, the game still reads data from the SD card while the game is playing.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Wow really?I might as well give it a go.Thanks!I'll report again if I still face the same problems.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Looks like there's no improvement despite changing the memory card.It may be the RAM,but I've freed so much memory and my games are still stuttering.

Here's the available RAM,that I've freed,together with the Class 4 SD card.Even Sims 3 lags now,which didn't when I got the phone..

EDIT:I'm running on locked bootloader with zergrush rooted and running on both Stock Kernel and ROM.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
You don't need to clear out RAM with Android, you don't even need a task killer. Android manages its memory for you. Its possible you're experiencing lag because Android is getting screwed up by tasks being stopped and started. Continually killing apps can even corrupt them eventually (happened on my Motorola Droid)

I have the same amount of free ram as you right now, and I never ever stop or kill tasks, and my phone is bone stock. By lag are you getting an occasional stutter (like at the title screen of some games) or does the actual game run jerky. I get a title screen stutter on some games, but who cares. VERY occasionally the game stutters for 1/2 a second, it doesn't do much if anything in terms of playability.

I'm honestly at a loss, maybe your phone is defective, otherwise this should have stopped the issue.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Very occasional stutter in game actually.This happens so occasionally in the game that the controls responded a few seconds later after each moment it stutters,resulting in my character usually making an extra move which sometimes costs me.Everything else runs fine.By that I mean normal applications such as the android market and whatnot.Obviously, I wouldn't care much if the phone stutters during the startup of the game only.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesmondH2O:
i'm experiencing this too.....asphalt 6 is driving me crazy cause it always stutter on important moment and I crash my car the next few secs
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Exactly.Like what rogue leader said,it may be the SD card but I don't know why the Xperia Play should be relying much on the card.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryballs:
You could also try setting your min in setcpu to a higher number as I used to get bad lag when I had it too low.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Thanks.I'll try that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
If its very occasional I would say it runs the same as mine.

I don't think theres a way for it to get any better. While mine stutters occasionally screwing up my game slightly, I guess I just ignore it and keep going. I assumed yours was worse because you said constantly lagging but now you're telling me its very occasional. When mine stutters its usually only for a fraction of a second an really doesn't throw me off much. I believe thats normal.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Well since you're putting up with it I guess it's logical to do so as well.Thanks for your help as well then brotha.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
No prob man, don't get me wrong I wish it didn't but IMO its about as good as its gonna get without a new piece of hardware.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Yep it's as good as it already is.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesmondH2O:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
Min?You mean by supercharging or setCPU?What did you set your min to and is your bootloader unlocked?Mine stutters for more then a second actually.

And is any class 4 SD card fine other than SanDisk's?They have imation's and much cheaper,so I'm curious whether that matters as well.I need to make sure of this or it might be a waste of my money.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRegrets:
Fake sd cards don't work. Just get real ones. Using 32gb class 4 card.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmfaris27:
I don't see imation being a fake sd card.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
Theres a thread somewhere on here that someone did a test between SD cards and found Sandisk to be the best and most consistent. They used another name brand (Kingston I think) that did not perform as well. I would say that an Imation would not be as good as a Sandisk, there is a reason Sandisk cards are consistently preferred to be used here and by other phone groups.

Just out of interest you guys experiencing stutters, does it happen more when you are moving the phone about?

Hmm dunno about that.I just experience stutters on FIFA and GTA,dunno why but it's surely not because I'm swinging it around XD.But this stutter I'm having on FIFA and GTA are not a one second thing though.Just a bit longer and quite persistent,though I'm sure for GTA the stutter issue is quite normal and doesn't affect much of gameplay for me.I just don't like it happening too frequently.

folks, hope some of you can help with resolution/ideas for a few probs i am facing currently; btw, i got my TP recently and was very pleasantly surprised with how good the OS is....now only if some of the nagging issues below can be fixed, it will be great...

1. Calendar: updates made on Outlook calendar in Touchpad do not appear on OWA; only emails sent from TP appear in OWA; even draft mails saved on TP do not appear on OWA (my firm has MS-Exchange server 2007)

2. Email: HTML emails in Yahoo! are rendered correctly, however HTML emails in the corporate Exchange mail are rendered as text mails (my firm has MS-Exchange server 2007)

3. Maps: shows my current location as somewhere in the Atlantic ocean (i live in South America; my research suggests that the MAC address of my router may not have been resolved by the location servers, so they are probably pointing me to some default location

4. Adhoc networks: does not connect to adhoc networks created, say, from a laptop connected to the Internet through LAN

5. Sound: after using phone/skype app, sound disappeared; rebooting fixed this I need to test this scenario again to try to recreate the issue, but if any of you have faced similar issues, it will be great to hear how you were able to fix it..

6. Apps: does anyone know if any of the google apps can be used on the TP?

[Captivate General] studacris:
That has nothing to do with the I9000...

Samsung has been great about updating that device. Not getting gingerbread for those u.s. Phones is a carrier issue.

This is a manufacturer "retiring" a product. Which they are only required by google to keep the phones up to date 18 months after release. So this makes perfect sense.

I've read some conflicting reports that Samsung Galaxy S will be updated. Even if they don't were already using it, so big deal.

Well looks like you were right and touchwiz is to blame. More reason why custom overlays should be abandoned for the sake of faster updates. Why they can't give pure ICS I don't understand!!?? ICSSGS RC1.0.1 is running buttery smooth on my phone so no biggie but so many people will miss out and its a shame. HTC claimed they couldn't put Sense 3.0 on the older devices and they recently updated the Desire HD and Incredible S so Samsung might change their minds and find a way to make it work after all Sony Ericsson are doing it on their phones.

Sad, would be nice if Samsung would release source code and let the developer community proceed with a full set of tools. Most caps are out of warranty anyway, and the ICSSGS and teamhacksung builds seem to be progressing nicely, but if Samsung could help them avoid any pitfalls on the way to release, would be an easy way for them to get goodwill.

One more thought, is the "Samsung is going to participate and collaborate with the XDA community, i.e., the SamsungJohn experiment:rolleyes:, still around."

Seems like this would be the perfect out; Samsung provides source and tools to allow developers to build Nexus S equivalent ROMs for the Cap and other Galaxy S variants, and interested developers take it from there. Would be a great way for them to gain goodwill.

[Captivate General] Cor-master:
I really don't know why anyone cares is this any surprise? Aren't we all here mainly for custom roms anyway? All and all 18 months of support is pretty good and there is nothing in it for Samsung to give it to us anyway. Most people have already moved on, and if you haven't your probably out of warrenty so put a custom roms on, otherwise your probably close to the end of your contract or at least an early upgrade.

I don't think touchwiz is to blame here, I think that was just a pr move as they've already been under fire over updates anyway. I still wonder if we're getting gingerbread, I mean we've had leaked official roms since June, I almost think at&t doesn't want to waste the server bandwidth
