[HTC Amaze 4G] allyn274:
Thanks so much for the quick reply. So to your point about "if this is ticked and you happen to lose your signal when it is checking you will get that error.." - this has nothing to do with root? It's just a freak thing that happens occasionally?

I only ask so that I can understand more and try to learn more about my phone.

Thanks again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] johnk1973:
It's not a root thing, just Sense looking for information and not being able to find it so gives an error.
[HTC Amaze 4G] allyn274:
Good to know. Guess I was just lucky enough to never notice it before I rooted, and now it happened twice so I guess I got concerned something was wrong. It could always be corrected manually each time, or - as was the case this morning - it eventually just went away! :-)

Thanks again. Really appreciate the help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] teckels:
Depending on what you flashed, it may have to do with your kernal or rom systematically turning off your connection to save battery and then if that runs you get the error. (my thoughts)
[HTC Amaze 4G] freakboy13:
No. Nothing to do with root. My amaze is still a virgin, and I get this error once in a while as well.

As other poster mentioned, uncheck the set time with current internet or whatever it says it will stop.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I had that prob on 3.5 rom. I just changed it from auto to manual and set it. It worked :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonas9:
hey guys.

i ve rooted yesterday because i wanted to flash a better kernel than the stock one. now my question:

which kernel should i flash?

i need good performence with no lags and so on..

but a good battery live !!

please help me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You're going to have to try out different kernels & see which one(s) work best for you. Nobody uses the phone the same way as you, has the same phone setup or even components manufactured exactly the same way.

Go to the development sections & check the threads for the different kernels & read up on the features of each/the ones that interest you.

There are no shortcuts.

If you want something that *just works* without any effort on your part, you should have stuck with stock :-|
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Stock may be better as kernels make claims but reality may be different .

Performance battery life sort your phone and its usage out first .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
No Kernel is "best", it all depends on your device.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Does the Rezound actually benefit from Ext3 and Ext4 modifications? If so, what are the differences over stock?
[Motorola Droid 3] newshook:
I am very interested in trying the XT883 radio because its compatibility with more GSM providers. However, I am currently a Verizon subscriber and I want to find out what to expect in CDMA after loading up the XT883 radio.

My phone is rooted and unlocked, by the way. I think I am asking the internal differences between XT883 and XT862. Can someone shed light on this?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
From what I've seen of the software floating around, I suspect there's no hardware differences between the two CDMA models, it's all in software and RadioComm settings.

But I've not taken any steps to confirm this, and won't until I have an SBF available so I can undo any hideously broken experimentation and get back to the phone I currently am quite happy with. ^_^
[Motorola Droid 3] newshook:
I did the comparison on the speci of these two. They differ in talk time, standby time, and wifi. While the talk time / standby time could be related to reporting convention for its intended customers, I do feel there should be hardware differences. Just don't know what to expect if loading up the XT883 radio on 862, and if the difference can be reversed by putting its own radio back.

Also, will loading XT883 radio override the hotspot hack?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
You have to take the published pages with a grain of salt.

Consider these:

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/C...ervices/Mobile-Phones/ci.MOTO-XT883-CN-ZH.alt

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/C...ces/Mobile-Phones/ci.Motorola-ME863-CN-ZH.alt

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/H...rvices/Mobile+Phones/ci.MILESTONE-3-HK-ZH.alt

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/H...rvices/Mobile+Phones/ci.Milestone-3-HK-EN.alt

That's the XT883, the ME863 China model, and the Chinese and English versions of the ME863 Hong Kong model.

You may note that translation to Chinese loses 40mAh of battery size, and somehow the ME863 in Hong Kong gets more than double the talk time, with the same battery and standby time.

It's true that the XT883 is an older product page, but the Chinese ME863 is the newest product page of the lot. (It's new since I last looked at this, for example.)

That said, it's entirely possible that the Verizon Droid 3 has better standby battery life, because it's already received a system update the Asia-Pacific devices have not.

And again, I'm not totally sure, but I _believe_ the XT883 and Droid 3 shipped with Android 2.3.4. My retail Hong Kong ME863 has Android 2.3.5, but perhaps the ME863s in China are still on 2.3.4 and that's why their talk-time is lower?

I've lost track of what the Droid 3 is on. The Bell XT860s have 2.3.6 coming, and that seems to be offering a lot of improvements. They had 2.3.4 before, although the XT860s in South America had 2.3.5 include.

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...obile-Phones/ci.DROID-3-by-MOTOROLA-US-EN.alt

As far as the Wifi difference, I really doubt Motorola's manufacturing a version without 802.11n unless there's some regulation in the Chinese market that demands such. Maybe 802.11n isn't certified there for use in unlicensed radio bands, so they can't advertise it. I don't know.

What I do know is that as far as I can see, my ME863 (Hong Kong retail)'s firmware incuded what appeared to be chunks of the Droid 3 stock firmware in unused space, indicating that the build process is to make 'em all, flash 'em with the Droid 3, and then send a batch of 'em that're China-bound to be reflashed with the Chinese-language firmware. (Which amongst other things repartitions things so that preinstall is tiny and unused, and makes the internal SD card slightly bigger. Which is why you can't use Safestrap's aternative boot on them yet.)

I guess the summary is that I see nothing that suggests hardware differences exept the presence of CDMA-specific electronics on the (same) radio chipset. I'm _assuming_ CDMA circuitry is left out, not just disabled.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
There is a great recovery thread for use with moto-fastboot, which I used to get my xt862 back to stock. It had xt883 ROM running when I bought it, but I had other issues that I wanted to fix, so I went stock again. After that, I just used the xt883 radio.img and build.prop tweaks to get it working on gsm. I'm almost sure you could use the phone on either gsm or cdma after making these changes, but would it hurt to try and let us know? You can easily get back to stock...I don't have a free Verizon line to try it on myself, else I would lol.

Good luck!

[Surround General] eclipsisme:
Hey,

I've been waiting for a firmware update for the Surround that fixes the freezing issue with Zune. Since there has been no word on this I am looking into alternatives.

Has anyone installed any of the custom ROMS on their surround? Do they fix the freezing issue?

Also would you consider them to be of the stability/quality of the standard ROM? I'm not really interested in the extra features. I just want to be able to listen to music with the phone locking up.

Cheers!
[Surround General] jimski:
What freezing issue? My phone has never frozen up while playing music. Can you provide more details:

-Playing music on your phone?

-Streaming music via Zune?

Have you tried a hard reset?
[Surround General] eclipsisme:
The issue is well documented here:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...en-songs/e862bde0-fd1f-471e-9822-5c7a44746390

HTC has released firmware updates for their other phones that fixed the issue. Unfortunately nothing for the Surround yet. I emailed them but their response was just that it was coming at some point.

I've only encountered the problem when using drm'd zune music. Using my own MP3s has never resulted in a freeze. The only current work-arounds are plug in the phone or keep it from locking.
[Surround General] jimski:
Guess I will have to give it a try with some of my Zune DRM tracks.
[Surround General] ryan00793:
Just called HTC at their support number (866) 449-8358 and was told that they have had no issues with this... I also asked what the latest build number for any non-att device but was told that he would not have that information. I might call back tomorrow to be persistent about this but idk. FYI after i did a lot of reading (before i saw this post) I found someone said that if they ran an app that runs under a locked screen they would not experience the crashing. He said he used marathon (a gps recording app). I downloaded the free version that comes with 15 days free. Battery life is less but music works.
[Surround General] RebelMagpie:
I have a Telus-branded HTC Surround and I have the same Zune freezing issue. Running 7720 as Telus hasn't pushed any of the latest updates. For HTC to claim they have no issues is complete nonsense.

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

I take that back :-) Telus has just announced it is pushing 8107 to the HTC Surround. I hope there is a corresponding firmware update to fix the music freezing issue.
[Surround General] jimski:
Ok, so finally got to experience this bug. All is OK with non-DRM music, as well as streaming (DRM) tracks from Zune. Had to play some downloaded, DRM tracks to force the freeze to occur. Happened after the third song (I think). Screen had already gone to sleep after 3 minutes.

Tried plugging/unplugging to AC with no success. Only remedy was a long press of the power putton to soft reset. Don't have much downloaded, DRM music on my phone (still getting those 10 free Zune tracks every month), but this still sucks. Obviously an issue that HTC should be looking into. And I assume other post-Mango, different OEM devices have not experienced the same problem.
[Surround General] eclipsisme:
As far as I know this is only affecting HTC phones. They have developed firmware for their other phones but its been a very slow rollout. I emailed them but the only response I got was that they are working on it.

For now I have to keep my phone plugged into a power source when I listen to music.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtigerr:
It seems whenever I don't have a 4g data connection, I'm not getting any data connection. Anyone else have this problem? When I'm in builldings I never get a data connection. Even when I'm outside I rarely get data connection unless it's a 4g spot. I know someone with a GN and side by side, he gets a connection at work while I have gray bars. Is this prevelant among most of you all? I'm on Verizon if that makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] somato:
Yes, I have this issue as well when I am at work but only when I have wifi turned on. With wifi on I get no 4g connection inside the building and the phone won't drop down to 3g, just gives me gray bars and no data. Manually switching from LTE/CDMA to CDMA restores my 3g data connection. Turning wifi off enables the LTE data connection. I assume it's trying to use the building's wifi network that I am not authenticated to for some reason. It's quite annoying and seems to be draining my battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jason.hamilton:
My 4g reception sucks. I am rather disappointed. I canceled my ATT account and paid the ETF to switch to verizon for the GN. I am in plano tx which is in the Verizon LTE area and i dont get any signal except in a few spots on the highway. I work in Richardson, which is also in the LTE area, and i dont even have 3g in the building. I dont have any signal when i go deeper into the building away from the windows. I am running stock 4.0.2. I hope this gets better. I am already regretting dropping ATT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Strange. I have excellent 3G and 4G signal in buildings, coming from Sprint I had non-existent data everywhere, especially indoors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtigerr:
Just as an fyi. I went to Verizon to try to get a new phone. They told me my sim card was bad. I got the phone on the first day and they said they had issues with the first sim cards with the nexus. My wifes has the same problem.

New sim card, NO MORE connection issues. Yeah! Anyone else who has this issue might try this. I am now getting 3g and even 4g connections inside now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jason.hamilton:
ill go to the verizon store after work and switch sims. Just got it on 1/1. Ill go to a different verizon store to make sure its not a bad batch lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jason.hamilton:
Wasnt the SIM card. Still getting crappy signal strength. I am going today and replacing the phone. If that doesnt work, i am going back to ATT skyrocket...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
In my office I get very weak to no 4G signal, so that the phone is constantly switching from weak 4G down to 3G and causing connection disruptions. I usually just disable LTE and use CDMA only mode to fix this. I have heard that a LTE signal should penetrate inside of buildings better, but apparently my workplace is almost impenetrable. We have a Verizon 3G repeater in the office or I would get no usable signal at all.

Spencer, what kind of speeds are you getting with LTE in the Columbia area? It seems like I got better speeds when I had my Rezound than I'm getting with my Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
I've had the exact opposite experience in Dallas. I switched from AT&T a year ago. I couldn't even make calls in my house. (I live in Lakewood) I had to go upstairs or outside. As far as data goes even on just 3G the Verizon speeds are much faster. I've done quite a few AT&T vs Verizon 3G side by side tests and Verzion has won every time. 4G is just a bonus for me. When I get a 4G signal there is no comparison. My coworker and I did a speed test on Tuesday at DFW. His iPhone 4s on AT&T vs my Gnex. I was getting 10-15 mbits down and he was getting like 2-3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigknowz:
3G Data

I am having the same exact problem. I thought it was related to airplane mode, I have it turning on at midnight and off at 6am. In the morning, if there is no Wifi and the phone is in 3G, I can't get data. Restarting gets data back, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution than that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
well my problem hasn't re occurred. It got magically solved.

And you should research your things before you post,it has been widely discussed in this forum that it is just a standard micro USB cable. I used another standard cable from my kindle and galaxy s phone. worked perfectly till now. Now after this problem I used a Nokia charger which worked perfectly as expected.

My guess is that some particle got inside the uncovered USB port causing some unwanted connections.

[Thunderbolt General] ms_:
My daughter dropped my Thunderbolt onto some carpet and cracked my super strong gorilla glass screen. I used it as-is for a while then decided to replace the glass myself. I've successfully performed the procedure back in the day with an iPhone 3G, but this time I was not so lucky and broke the LCD. The phone wasn't in super good physical shape anyways. Not wanting to spend the 50 bucks for an LCD and then probably not even get it put together back to a factory like fit, I've sourced a new (used) one from Craigslist as a replacement. The broken phone was rooted and loaded with CM7 and I'd like to perform one last backup, and be able to do a wipe, and maybe have an emergency backup (which I don't have now).

tl;dr: If you have a bricked TBolt with working display assembly (LCD frame glued to glass or basically everything after you disassemble as far as you can without a heat gun), I'd like to pay for you to ship it to me.

Thanks!
