[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
that depends, how long do you want to keep the next device? I think eventually the gs2 and skyrocket will stop getting updates but the nexus series historically gets all the updates. I'd get a galaxy nexus or something very close in hardware to it, especially if they already have good ports for omap4 powered phones like the bionic and razor and their gsm Motorola relatives(atrix 2 I guess) so maybe look into that, but if you still believe in single core phones I'd get an older phone like an i9000, captivate, vibrant, nexus s, nexus 1 or other htc phones with a snapdragon (singlecore) processor.

the rom stuff can be added in if needed. look at what's been done with the tw4 launcher and Sony arc launcher, also I've seen nexus roms with the Samsung toggles in the pulldown. the video support can be added with 3rd party apps (dice player rules foe this). the mms app can be 3rd party. phones like the galaxy s were nice when they came out but now its all irrelevant. most of the nice stuff can be back ported to aosp.

I have always believed in the aosp movement but never used aosp roms because it took so long to get the bugs fixed on Samsung phones. I'd say base the next phone on existing aosp support because aside from web browsing and high end gaming I have seen no reason to have more power than available from the current single core phones. I was hoping the infuse would borrow more from the i9000 but there are enough differences to make it a development problem and it hasn't attracted kernel devs that could overcome the problems.

All this talk just make me sad really sad , I love my infuse but is seem imn gonna have to wait forever or never for the ICS on it . Hey guys not even a port ???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
its a challenge. porting isn't easy. this isn't a PC, its not like installing windows, the kernel is compiled with only the hardware support to run the device, there is no master catalouge of drivers and libraries for phone hardware and much of it is closed source so if we don't have a Samsung build to start with the parts that aren't compatible with gb are not easy to port. it takes someone with in-depth knowledge of the kernel and a certain amount of guess work and luck. sorry but there are people trying but it would be best to wait for them to post which may or may not happen. all the questions get nowhere. there are nice gb roms right now. they will get better if att releases sources so play with that stuff for a while.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Try zeus build 5 with the ics theme. Feels like ics to me
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Hmm....

So in other words, we would need either a former Samsung employee to join XDA and gather some minds to create a custom build from scratch OR have Samsung themselves support the work by providing the necessary equipment and software. Either one seems a long shot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
we could get lucky and get a genius dev with a lot of porting talent, maybe. but the Samsung involvement would be ideal.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Died a Little Inside

Well I can honestly say I had my hopes up. Glad you guys did the research on him!! Here's another question tho, why does the Galaxy S get "everything" and we're like cousin devices to it, so how come kernel development is so difficult to find? They must have more devoted devs working for em, but why so little love for Infuse. They have a gorgeous ICS port!! Is it because it was here first? First come, first served?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the galaxy s is distributed around the world and is the top selling android device probably ever with well over 10,000,000 sales. also it is much closer to a nexus s than our phone. the cyanogen mod team has them and has already figured out the process of porting from porting gb last year. the infuse is a big seller for the months it was available but it didn't attract many developers.

don't feel bad. I didn't see anything in the sgs4g forum either. and I don't think the charge has any hope. nor the i9001 or i9003. so its not like we are the only galaxy s like phone that is left out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Well I feel a little bit better now. Lol, thanks man
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Does everyone want ICS so bad because it's the latest or because there's some kind of performance/visual aspect you want? I've played with ICS and it kinda bites.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Me personally, I only enjoy the visual aspect of it. I have yet to see first hand what it changes or brings to the table performance wise. I'm gonna get the Skyrocket in a month or so and hopefully grab a port. Once I do that I'll give an opinion there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Why do you say it bites?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
Can't speak for others but I like the unified UI of it. With gingerbread and below every part of the phone looks completely different, and i hate that. I am thinking that Samsung may have a role in that as well, skinning the android interface.

I highly doubt that ICS would bring any sort of feasible performance benefit over GB, especially for this phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
I want the smoothness of MIUI with the ICS framework, without dealing with MIUI. A lot of launchers and apps are now implementing hardware acceleration for devices running ICS, and either I stick with an unsupported MIUI hackjob, or I go back to more usable Gingerbread and lose the hardware acceleration.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
I couldn't agree more, MIUI wasn't very stable for me. I dealt with reboots everyday, plus a "your device is incompatible with this app" just I did with Cm7 regarding market downloads.

Hardware acceleration eh? Well if I wasn't already sold, I would be now lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mcala:
Next time before purchasing a phone make sure it has an international counterpart! That should guarantee some better rom development. Case in point: Captivate, SGS2, Galaxy Note, amongst others have no development issues but the Infuse & Skyrocket will depend on the small crowd of disappearing devs to make the ports/roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
Definitely. The Captivate was a paradise for ROM flashers, and now all my Captivate friends are running ICS ROM's that make my newer Infuse look dated in comparison. The Infuse was a media smartphone jackpot when it came to hardware: camera, screen, ffc, 4G and build similar to the SGS2, with the SGS audio chip and smaller price tag. Unfortunately, the software side really limits its potential.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
That thanks was an accident. So where that ICS rom? I still want to see it. Just take a few minutes and upload. A few minutes less norp and upload it so we can all see and play, King.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahlieda:
Hi,

I've problem my galaxy S2 phone and i just realized why i never receive any calls or sms from my friends.

So i asked my friend to give me a call and it has been directed to voice mail. I also tried to make a call to my friend's number which the phone was on my table. The phone was not ring and the call was rejected.

In other way, i have noticed that my galaxy S2 has problem cant make, receive a calls and also could not send sms text.

What should I do? I've done factory reset and I've no idea cause the problem still occured.

TQ
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
First check

Network APN settings are correct for your network .

AS you give no indication of firmware or what you have flashed on the phone pure guesswork says check your IMEI number . If that is wrong restore your backed up EFS folder .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicregi:
Check this: Dial *#06#. If you see the IMEI number, most probably the SIM card faulty. If no IMEI, follow these:

1. EFS backup

Do you have EFS backup? If you have, you can restore it via ktool and you should be fine.

2. Modem

Download the modem file and flash via Odin. See if this works.

3. Stock

If #2 don't work, try flash back stock. Flash back everything to stock.

4. If that doesn't work, this is the last option.

Copy all the EFS file you can find on your phone and move to your laptop.

Factory reset, wipe all data.

Install back stock ROM everything.

Root it and install Terminal Emulator.

Move back all the EFS files back to your phone.

Open Terminal Emulator and type this:

su

umount /efs

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs

busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz -C /

Now, if this goes through, you will be fine and IMEI will be back. If not, you need to send back to service centre.

For my case, my EFS backup was 'corrupted' which the last method works for me.

Hope this helps!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] fosser2:
I walked into the "official" Verizon store today (not one of the authorized retailers), and I asked them if they knew when ICS would be available on the Razr. I figured they wouldn't know anything and tell me that, but the group of them told me that ICS would be available shortly and that it was already rolling out to phones at about 1000 at a time. I call BS on this whole situation but decided to post what I heard today in person.

Hi,

I got the Motorola XT311, updated to android 2.3.5 and managed to get root access using this great thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19133663

I almost got it bricked uninstalling some default apps using titanium backup but I fixed it up. Before taking more risks :D I'd like to have a complete backup of the ROM just in case... I installed ROM Manager (clockworkmode) but it seems this model isn't supported yet.

Is there any manual way of doing a full ROM backup and restoring it?I can use shell access using adb.

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Droid Pro General] bveditz:
No idea what this model is, but if it's like the other Droid Pro's, typically you can tell Clockwork mod you're using the Droid 2, Droid 2 Global or possibly even the Droid X. Another option is to use the Droid 2 Bootstrapper thats out there.
[Droid Pro General] redbearedten:
Thanks for your help. Apparently the Droid 2 Bootstrapper only works with droid 2 model and I don't want to brick my phone again until I have a ROM backup :D

No manual way of doing this (adb+shell) or an app working for this model (xt311/xt316)???

Once updated to 2.3.5 I don't know if you need to root again since I got it rooted after updating.

Well, thats not totally correct. We use the Droid 2 Bootstrapper on the Droid Pro XT610. I just don't know what the difference between the XT311 and the XT610 is. Also, not sure it would brick anything, it kinda just tricks it into rebooting into the clockworkmod recovery vs. regular recovery for that next boot. Its not a permanent recovery replacement.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
My Flyer was getting a little warm, so I used Fast Reboot to stop some background processes, and noticed one of them was a Phone process.

I'm wondering why any phone related processes are running in HC, and how to stop them from starting altogether. I'll never use my Flyer as a phone (even though my kids call it my "Big Phone" and I pretend to be talking on it to make them laugh) but if keeping these processes from running will hinder any video chat functions, I'll leave stuff alone, and keep wondering why phone processes exist in Tab specific software...

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
is it "cell standby" ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
I don't think so, but fast reboot only gives general process names, so it only read "phone". I have pretty good battery life, so I don't think it's the standby issue I've read about, but I guess it's possible...

You need a P rom to flash as far as we know so far .If you flash a wrong firmware you can brick your phone .

Checkrom is a custom rom if you go to the Checkrom post in the developers thread it wil giver you a descriptions . Same goes for all custom roms page one this rom is and has the following or not .

You can flash 9100 ROM on your 9100P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blubbhome:
I dont remember :)

But if your device is already rooted you can install Rom manager or CWM from the market and make a backup of your config. Then reboot in CWM and install what you want (read the how to install section of the wanted rom).

Don't care about your "P" version!

What you read here for standard device (i9100) is working for your P version.

Don't use Rom Manager, use Clockwork. Rom Manager seems to not work well with the SGS2, this forum is littered with posts from people who used Rom Manager to flash and it broke CW Recovery, put the phone into a bootloop or soft brick, etc, etc.

Best to play it safe IMHO.

I've seen a heap of posts in the couple of months I've been visiting this forum from people who ended up with broken CW Recovery & bootloops after using the Manager app.

I used it once to try and flash a kernel & it broke recovery completely.

Obviously any/everyone's mileage may vary, but for me, I'd rather play safe & boot into Recovery whenever I flash or backup.

Didn't say you shouldn't use it :) Just said that plenty of people have had problems using the app, and rather than risk it, since I had that problem with it, every time I've done a backup or flashed a rom/kernel I've rebooted into recovery & used CW Recovery itself to do the business ;)
