Same problems.

I'm not so sure that it is depends only with operator.

I'm leaving in Europe, but have similare problems with scrambled voice during phone calls and drops calls.

Before I used Samsung Vibrants, Captivate and Infuse. All of them works in same locations without any problems and voice quality was amazing.

I tested two different unlocked Herculeses t989, with two differnt operators and all available radio' modems for AT&T/Rogers Skyrockets and T-Mobile/Telus T-989. Both t-989 have same issues with all modems and voice quality worst compare Infuse/Captivate/Vibrant.

Both t989 runs stock rooted roms

My operator data range:

GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900Mhz/1800Mhz

UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA+ 2100Mhz

Here is similar problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22057377#post22057377

A sim card is not going to help. You sound like a CSR. If you can find a pattern with location a service request will need to be done, which usually leads to a trouble ticket. (Both done through tmo )

Usually i would have you do a sim swap with another phone and see if the issue follows your sim or your phone. Easiest way to find the problem .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
It's not the service it's my phone. It handles WCDMA-GSM hand-off's poorly and it camps on WCDMA for too long when the signal is took weak. We need a radio update. I have the latest sim card. It also drops calls going between cells sometimes and not just WCDMA to GSM which I find to also be as a result of the radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
only few people seems to be having this problem, like the other guy on the Wind topic

personally i've not had any of the issues mentioned, and i'm still on the original Tmo radio
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
If you can settle for GSM or WCDMA alone, why not force your phone on those frequencies? That way you can at least eliminate the band switching variable

[Galaxy S II Accessories] JJEgan:
Read what they have written original has to be original or you can complain .

/return the item .

As Expansys had the item on pre order and are pre ordering other model Samsung batteries you are buying Samsung battery from a top class supplier .

When ever i put it in my pc i hear a sound which shows its been detected but i cant find it in my computer. i tried a nokia phone to format it but it keeps asking me for a password. i have never used a password for it before. can anybody please help me on how to go about this situation.. its a sandisk 16gb class 2 micro sd..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Password on Nokia is just to leave it blank I believe, it locked because you didn't unlock it before flashing.try flashing xboxrom again
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] eric1204:
suggest flash back XBmod-Yuki rom with sd card , and send DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab then you can unlock it. after unlock just off then you can flash any other HD2 WP7 rom with this card and work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
if have Nokia phone, just format it (faster then flashing rom again and send cab file) and skip when ask for password.... few time he ask for password but every time dont enter anything and continue until card is formatted...

Did you run the app it installs? After you run the app its unlocked until you boot wp7 again, if you ran it you need to for mat the card as it still won't be seen by windows, go to admin tools and find the storage manager, at work an can't remember the exact name, you will see card listed as unknown, right click an format

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alon2:
So we are all flashing and re flashing new excellent ROMS that are being developed by the great devoted guys in here. I looked around and beside this I didn't find any TODO list before flashing.

So here is my little contribution,of the tasks I do before every flash to verify that I don't loose any data,but only upgrade my beloved device:

CONTACTS:

Since I'm not using my google account to sync my contacts(I'm a little bit envy of my privacy regarding the people I'm in contact with) - backup contacts using the import function in the contacts section

SMS/MMS:

Backup my sms/mms using any of the much too many apps in the market

APPS

(Here is a section that I know will cause a lot of discussion):

I don't use titanium - I tried to use it during my first months with this phone I just didn't like it.I know it could be great to just save everything using it but I found it..hmmm...not suiting my needs and wants so I don't use it.

Instead recently I found a great feature in File expert which lets you backup your APKs(without the data,i.e. scores in games) - I find it very convenient because when I flash I want a clean start where I know exactly what I put back into the phone.

LAUNCHER:

I'm putting not a little effort to make my phone look as awsome as possible(and I'm sure you are too) so in order to save the trouble of configuring your preferred launcher after every flash - just back its settings. most of the used launchers have this option in their settings.

BATTERY:

Be sure you have enough battery life - best practice(which I admit that I'm not always follow)is to fully charge your phone before flashing.

FILES:

I personally always put my current rom zip and the one I'm about to flash on the sdcard to be on the safe side(boot loop for example that can be caused from bad download of the zip)-that way you always have a backup plan.

Also I'm trying to always backup all the content of my sdcard to my computer while I can, who knows what will happen during the flash - maybe you'll have to format your sdcard without any access to the data on it

UTILS:

even if you are just flashing using the CWM be sure to have a setup environment for ODIN:drivers,odin,tars etc.

And last but most important - NANDROID BACKUP:

Always and I repeat Always make a nandroid backup(if you are on the GB kernels I think there is a problem with backup/restore so I heard a solution is to flash the Bali kernel and make a restore with it - search the forum for more details.

That's it - I hope I didn't forget anything.

Please if you have any suggestions/comments don't hesitate to bring them up and I'll update this post if needed.

Enjoy:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Thumbs up, bro.

I'm a big fan of Titanium backup though..

I will definately look at file expert to be using up to date supplemental apks when building a ROM.

Sent from me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
For apks I just copy the install file from data/app or system/app to my sd card/app. This probably takes a little longer than batch functions. The only problem i encounter with this method is the need to push some apks back to system/app when they won't install properly. I like to reset my launcher after a flash but all of this is just personal preference :)

Post logs not complaints :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Good stuff. Stuff that should be in the wiki :) Note the issue with CWM & GB is fixed in the later releases (version 5, I think) fixes that problem. I know it's available in bhndven's KJ6 kernels but I'm not sure about elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
Smells sticky... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alon2:
Yes I heard about this but I haven't tried it yet and also I think most (if not all) the ROMs here still use the old CWM so...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
The ROMs themselves can be flashed from either. It's the Nandroid backups/restores that have an issue :)

First thing I had to change was to the ICS keyboard in the market. Much like the GB keyboard but a little nicer. Not quite as responsive as the HTC keyboard, but I'll cope.
[HTC Rezound] itisaradday:
This is what I've been waiting for. Scott's work ethic is amazing. Now if only there was a way to keep the Sense lock screen and clock...
[HTC Rezound] xHaVoK87:
I thought about it but I think I will just wait a little longer until DM gets his AOSP up and running! I really want a full up and running ICS but very tired of Sense.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
There is...use the sense'd ROM. lol
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
There are widgets that can make the flip clock if that's the clock you're talking about... And his CleanICS build is ICS with a little bit of sense, may be what you're looking for
[HTC Rezound] itisaradday:
My point is that I don't want all the sense back end because I don't use any other parts of sense. Just those two things :p
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
The problem is even just those two things require all the sense backend bull**** to work. It's basically all our nothing.
[HTC Rezound] canned karma:
What's the difference between Scott's SenselessICS ROM and the one dmeadows is working on?
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Dmeadows is aosp, so not sense based to begin with where as Scott's is sense based with as much of the sense **** removed but still able to run.

I'm having an issue insmoding a kernel I built for my rooted galaxy s2. My end game is to get USB-ethernet working by building the asix module but I cant even get a ko from the default build to insmod. (I also cant load the kernel I compiled, i tried with odin... but I feel like this is a separate issue)

I compiled a kernel based on what I downloaded from samsungs website "GT-I9100_OpenSource_Update3.zip" and followed the instructions included (basically run make with defconfig) I chose scsi_wait_scan.ko as a test because it was built with the default config and currently wasn't loaded on my phone.

USB Host support

Has any body had luck with usb host working for devices other then sdcards on the S2? I got the kernel compiled and removed the whitelist but it looks like the USB host support is not fully implimented? Does the S2 support usb asynchronous mode? I'm not a usb expert but the kernel fails hard (lots of messges to dmesg and then the phone reboots) when I try it with an asix usb device.

Just thought I'd post it in the TF201 forum since it's everywhere else. Idk how good this card is given the tests ran in another post (that I can't find). Apparently the Samsung class 10 is better but this one is at good price, for now. Jump on it.

The 4k write numbers are horrible (they represent random access)

The Seq write number does confirm it's class 10 (that represents bulk writes like vid or pic capture)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
Just got mine in. 4K random writes aren't a big deal to me, as I will use it mostly for storing movies/TV shows/music.

Once inserted, it sits flush with the edge of the tablet, as viewed from the front. I'm sure you could still have accidental ejections if you don't have a case that protects it.

Also, I didn't realize how slow MTP was until I was doing some tests with this card... copying a 700 MB movie to it took 3 and a half minutes over MTP, but only 1 if the card was plugged into my PC via the included USB adapter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
yea, and a class 4 would suffice for the same (I have a card I'm dedicating for that purpose too).

I think that's sorta the problem. Your case is likely to prevent the issue, but if it doesn't kiss $40 goodbye.

Oh gawd, yea, MTP is the worst thing MicroSloth ever inflicted upon the industry.

Thankfully, we can use adapters to transfer data to/from the cards (sadly via "sneaker net").
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
Yes, but the class 10 makes copying things onto it a lot faster. :p And a good 32GB Class 4 would have still been $30, so it's a good deal in my book.

This is not a known issue with ICS. You could try wiping caches and reflashing, but if that doesn't work I would flash back to stock, and start again from scratch.

It would help posting on the ICS Q&A for that specific Rom, like Onecosmic's or Team Hacksung. More info would ALSO be a must since we can't channel the power of madam Cleo and know what exactly you are using. I would suggest closing this and asking int he correct thread with more info.

I don't use an antivirus on my windows desktop, I always keep an eye in msconfig and task manager (I know most of the processes), services.msc, unusual behavior, etc, once a year I run an antivirus scan never found anything, I have been clean for more than 3 years.

I have previously installed lookout on my Note but found it to slowdown the system a little bit, so I removed it, and now I don't have any antivirus but I keep an eye at the running proccesses, but I'm unsure if that's the way to spot a running background virus in a linux system

Actually, even the apps on the Android market, approved by Google, are not safe. There have been couple incidents of rogue apps show up in market last year. Good thing is Google are proactively plugging those OS exploits that these rogue apps use (they will auto-root your phone). So, if you're on latest Gingerbread OS (2.3.4 or later), most of those exploits no longer work. But there is now a new exploit now been used here on XDA to root the phone (search ZergRush). Not sure if this will be used in next wave of rogue apps. Remember, just because you installed an app from market, doesn't mean it is safe. Google made zero effort to review those apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniperbr0:
thanks a lot for the article, it is a lot like I suspected, specially about companies bullshitting us to get to buy their antivirus software

about web based virus, from that I'm 90% safe because I only access the same websites every day, unless one of them gets attacked I'm sure I won't get a virus from them

and yes, I'm rooted... two things I wonder are:

1 - shouldn't an infected app show the permission pop up asking for root access? I'm not exactly sure but I think there are ways to circunvent that and force root access without permission

2 - if I'm infected and perform a full wipe (cache, dalvik, factory reset) and change roms, can I still be infected? I ask this because I noticed that some folders aren't affected when performing a full wipe, the rom goes into /system, and the factory reset only cleans /data. So there is no way to completely clean a system I guess.
