[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
My WiFi eventually stops working. It's been working fine for two months but for these last two weeks, it would not connect to any wifi network, regardless if it were home, someone else's home, or even the wifi at my school.

If it helps any, I'm running juggernaut 4.1 with bullet kernel.

I've looked around to the related threads but there was never a solid fix. Anyone have any insight on my problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
bump? Any help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] madman604:
Well if a clean instal doesnt fix it your phone probably needs replacing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
It works like 75% of the time. It works when I reset it sometimes. It's not a "never works" type of thing. Do I still really need to replace my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jordayum:
I have a smiliar problem, Once I disconnect from Wi-Fi and then try to connect to any network, it would say it's connected with full signal strength yet there would be no connection...

Not exactly sure if that's the problem you're having, but so far the fix I've found for my problem is to boot into recovery, wipe battery stats and fix permissions and then it's good to go. Only problem is it sucks having to reboot your phone everytime you have to connect to a new Wi-Fi network...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
I had the same problem as you. The wifi icon had all the signal but still did work just on my phone... I tested it on my PC and it was all fine. I decided to go back to stock then reroot again. It fix it a little bit bit still happens sometimes

I suggested unroot it via Odin then test the issue for a few days on stock. Just to see what the problem is. Then root if wish
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kvizz:
Weird... I seem to have this problem too!

Sometimes my WiFi says connected Excellent connection, but it does not work. I know my internet works because my PC works fine.

I just disconnect WiFi and use 4G, yeah it's a lot slower, but it is manageable.

WiFi seems to randomly want to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
Yeah it sucks... It was working normally before but not its mess up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
I still haven't found a solution to this problem. My only solution has been to disable wifi, turn on data, turn off data, turn wifi back on, and it will work.

With this information, does anyone know what's wrong? I have restored back to my freshly rooted nandroid and wiped and reflashed to three different roms, all with the same wifi issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
Is there anyone with a solution? :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
Try this:

turn off wifi, then...

in adb shell:

su

rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.lease

rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.pid

or:

if you dont want to use shell, get Root Explorer (or equivalent) and navigate to /data/misc/dhcp/ and delete those files.

then:

restart wifi. You may need to reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
I can't find those files. They don't seem to exist in my phone.

So far the only way I have been forced to turn on airplane mode and switch it off to use my wifi. I have to do this every half an hour or so. Does anyone have a more permanent solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] d_bot:
same issue here. on wifi or on data, it will just drop, even though i have full wifi bars. I get between 75-100% packet loss. Sometimes jumping to airplane mode and back fixes it. Sometimes jumping to data and back to wifi, rebooting fixes it.....it seems.....for a while. Tried multiple roms/kernels. Same issue. during all this, my phone will try to sync data (2 gmail accounts) and just chug and chug, heat up my phone, and drain my battery. Any ideas?

I deleted those files, rebooted, lets see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
T-mobile my account..... Do u have it installed? If so freeze it or uninstall it and problem will go away. I had same problem made a thread and posted my findings and turned out lots of people had similar issue of wifi sometimes working or both data and wifi signal showing when only wifi supposed to be on, wifi losing connection after a little bit. etc. In the end tmobile my account was the culprit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] d_bot:
nope. No tmo my account, no green (or whatever) battery saver.

Deleted those files, and still had issues yesterday and today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrkart99:
I had this problem. turns out my sgsii wasn't playing nice with my wrt 400n, gradually lost connection more frequently. flipped back to the trusty linksys g router, never had a problem since. I think it has something to do with n.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigburpsx3:
Turns out that it happens with all routers - for me anyway. It just loses internet every 20 minutes or so even while I'm still connected to the router.

[HTC Wildfire S] citronax:
I have just installed "[ROM]m1ndh4x8r GB2.3.5|OCKernel|Stable|Apps2SD|DATA2SD|Premium Features[1/20/2012]" and have notice the following issues:

1. Black screen when using camera, requires battery removal to recover.

2. Balck screen when making calls, needs other person to hang up then phone recovers after a minute or so.

I dropped the clock speed down to 600MHz which appears to have solved the camera issue but not the calling issue.

Otherwise an excellent ROM keep up the great work.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Citronax
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
You should have asked in his thread, not here.

Is ur phone marvel ?
[HTC Wildfire S] victorharsh:
If u install Custom-ROM without clearing the all caches, problems may occur, and if u use DATA2SD when multiple application running some times hang up occurs.

So, try to use Link2SD.
[HTC Wildfire S] citronax:
Nightshadow931, I would love to have posted in the dev thread forum but as a noob I can not until I have got past the initial 10 post limit.

victorharsh, I did clear all the caches before installing the ROM, however I am using Data2SD not Link2SD so I think i will try again using LinktoSD.

Will update in the next day or so.
[HTC Wildfire S] citronax:
I have sorted the issue now, I carried out a complete re-installation of the ROM using Link2SD and this time have no issues.

many thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tk123456789:
I called AT&T. Then I told them I wanted the subsidy unlock code for my phone. They told me no at first. Then I explained I travel a lot. They asked a few questions like: did you pay full price for the phone; do you travel overseas a lot, etc. I said I needed it unlocked when I travel overseas. Three days later I had the unlock code for free. I think it all depends on who you talk to at AT&T, and if you have a plan with some international features I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] candiesdoodle:
So is there no way to unlock a i727 manually without purchasing a code?

There's got to be a way guys...anyone..?

Where do all these website get these codes to sell from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Auxilium:
ATT will provide you with an unlock code free like the previous posts, I think there's an amount of time you have to wait though. Not sure if its based on how long you've been a customer or how long you've had the phone.

Give them a call or get a hold of a live chat rep on their website, that's where I received my unlock code for my Xperia Play before I sold it.

[General Questions and Answers] ryohazuki:
Probably sounds retarded but, I've always wanted a nexus. I'm on T - Mobile and i'm not getting a galaxy nexus any time soon for the price it is right now. I can trade my sensation for a nexus S, but dont know if it will be worth it. So can people voice their opinions? I know the difference in hardware between the two but i just want people to give me opinions.
[General Questions and Answers] Spl4tt:
it's a matter of taste i think..

if i were you, i would make that trade. i like the nexus more, but probably ask for a bit cash too.

i mean, the sensation is around 200.- more expensive here

so a trade sensation for nexus s +100 bucks would be fair
[General Questions and Answers] Livewings:
Stick with your Sensation.

Nexus S is already old.

If you're thinking to trade, the Galaxy Nexus will be the only one that suffice.
[General Questions and Answers] ryohazuki:
I agree but the Nexus S seems to be on par with the sensation almost GPU wise still if not better cause its optimized more. Plus I love having updates on time rather than having to wait so long for them like we're still waiting for ICS -_-
[General Questions and Answers] Livewings:
Having updates on time is the only perk of Nexus S while sacrificing everything else. (Camera, Processor, Build Quality, etc.)

I don't think it's worth your time.

Isn't there already ICS ROM's for Sensation? :)
[General Questions and Answers] mwarrington1992:
Personally I'd never trade in for an out of date phone, save some pennies and go for the galaxy nexus. I agree the only advantage would be quicker updates but surely your phone is getting official ics soon anyway?
[General Questions and Answers] Spl4tt:
like i said, its a matter of taste.

if you like the nexus more (like i do) trade it for the phone AND money, or it would be a bad deal for you

even if the sensation has better hardware, i dont think that you will notice any loss in smoothness when using the nexus. the nexus even is smoother when both are on stock roms..
[HTC Desire S] randombirt:
Hi, I've been lurking the dev section for about six months and have a rooted ds which has sampled many of the great roms available but it has developed an issue, when I make or receive a call the buzzing/vibration makes it difficult to hear the other person. When I look at the grill covering the ear speaker it looks like I can see debris behind it glistening which makes me think metal filings? This would be consistant with me working with metal in my job and accumulating filings/flakes in my pockets. Any ideas how I can get them out guys?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
The only thing i can think of without dismantling the phone, is to turn it off, take the battery out, then pass a stronger magnet than the one in the speaker, over the grill. It may take some time but maybe you could coax them out that way. Unless the filings are non ferrous of course. In which case it may need taking apart.
[HTC Desire S] randombirt:
I may have to give that a try, would the magnet not damage the phone? What I don't understand is how they got in there as there are two that can be seen that are about 2-3 mm in size.
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I can't guarantee what effect the magnet would have, which is why I would turn phone off and remove battery first. The speaker itself has a magnet in as all speakers do, so in theory there should be nothing in that area of the phone that is susceptible to magetic ill effects.

If there are pieces in there too large to come back through the grill then the magnet is not going to be any good. I'd guess they've found their way in through the headphone socket then.

In which case I'd recommend taking it to a phone shop to be dismantled and cleaned out, else you'll be limited to using a hands-free kit or the speaker phone to taking calls. Plus the last thing you want are metal filings rattling around a circuit board! I know it's closing the gate after the horse has bolted, but if you get it cleaned out, I'd recommend getting this case...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Otterbox-Commuter-Case-HTC-Desire/dp/B0043QE6SE

It offers fantastic protection, and features rubber plugs to cover the USB and headphone sockets which will prevent the phone getting full of bits from your pocket again.

As per the custom Roms for x8, GingerDX by Doixanh is good or GingerXperia by XperiaFan13??

Well it's all up to you. I'm using GingerDX and I'm satisfied with it. Haven't used Gingerxperia though.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Yap, there are tons of "What ROM" threads around you can dig up and read through.

In general it's way better to test the ROMs you've taken interest in yourself. People have different expectations, so it's really a matter of "taste".

I always used doixanh's custom ROMs because he always created the most stable and feature complete ones - at least in my experience. That being said, keep in mind that no custom ROM is 100% perfect and that different ROMs can cause different problems with the one or another app.

If GingerDX and GingerXperia are the ROMs you fancy then simply grab a copy and use each one for a few days ... in the end you will see which one fits your usage.

Ginger DX is the first ROM that i installed in my W8, and its awesome with lots of features. However you will have to manually tweak for pinch to zoom and Timescape.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MRqtH2:
If you unlock your bootloader and change the kernel you should be aware of what kernel you are installing before you do it.

Otherwise "Settings" -> "About phone" gives you info about you current rom and kernel.

Alf kernel thread is here btw.

Here is the X8 thread for Flashtool with a link to Flashtool's homepage. Unsure if Flashtool works on W8 since I have a X8. But since it officially support X10, X10mini (pro) and X8, i seems unlikely that it shouldn't.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipusen:
You can find it "SDcard>xrecovery>backup" folder.

You can recover if you brick your phone. xRecovery must be working there.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaBOr1:
If I'm not wrong, it should be stored in your SD card, in a directory called xrecovery (inside there should be another one called backup). If you did your backup with CWM, then the directory will be called clockworkmod.

You won't be able to extract or see its files unless you use a program called unyaffs.

If your phone is not "very bricked" you can access xRecovery or ClockWorkMod as you did the time you make your backup (pressing back button while booting) and restoring it. It's quite easy. Sometimes, it's also possible to repair it with Sony Ericsson's PC Suite.

If it is "very bricked" you should follow one of these guides:
