[Atrix 4G General] slipperyfloor:
I know you guys dont read anything, but you answer was in my post above.

if you're particularly stupid you can edit build.prop and set wifi scan to 10 sec if you want. Don't blame me about the battery though.

Long story short for people who can read: Wifi scan is every 1 min, to save battery, however going into the wifi settings forces a scan that instant.
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
You need to watch how you talk to people as you seem not to understand I can stand in front of my router turn on the WiFi and sometimes it says not in range. When you turn on your wifi it does do a scan then after that scan it doesn't scan again until it reaches whatever the scan interval is set for. Even when it does find the WiFi it is slow to connect, slower than my wife's aria and less range than the aria, slower than my inspire as well.
[Atrix 4G General] Cloudus91:
lol

What you said has no sense.

Are you saying that all the phones that take the wifi in 10 seconds have a bad battery?

It takes 1 minute to take IP address not to find Wi-fi connection.

And this isn't normal.
[Atrix 4G General] L337Geek:
Basically, the issue is your phone doesn't know it's in range of your wireless network automagically. The wireless network doesn't see the phone, and setup a connection.

Before your phone can connect, it does a search for a network. This timeout is what Cloudus91 was so dickishly talking about.

Your phone is just getting in range of the wireless just after it did a last scan, so you have to wait for the next cycle.

Cloudus posted how to decrease the time between checks, but you will suffer battery performance from this tweak, as the wifi adapter uses a fairly noticeable amount of juice.

Doh, I just got what you said.

Can you see any performance logs on your router? Looking for DHCP logs specifically.

What ROM are you using (Stock?)

Hi,

Flashed from GEN 1 to GEN 2, with v9-custom, but now i want flash to v8-stock, i have image folder with files of v8-stock, i turn off phone and press volume up+ menu+ power i get just big android logo and red back button, when i remove battery phone start normally to os, tried to flash from gen2 to gen1 still get android logo, please help iam desperate
[Blade General] wbaw:
Both versions are at v10 now. You need to hold the menu button as well as vol+ when you power on & make sure that you have checked the md5sum of the files in the image directory.
[Blade General] peto223:
thx for help i solve it, i have to format SD card and now it works, if someone have this problemm suggest this ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] njdurkin:
I lost 4G after flashing Anthrax v2 Kernel and Warm Mod for ICS, the beta. I got stuck at the HTC screen so I wiped and reflashed the mod that I was using before that Vipermod 2.1.1 with the kernel I was using Anthrax and I could't get wifi or wimax to work. I did a nand restore and still wifi and 4g will not start. WTF?

It doesn't even know their MAC address anymore
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
4g doesnt work in any ICS rom yet.

Also, download Wimax Key Checker from the market and make sure your keys are still there.
[HTC EVO 3D] njdurkin:
But it still didn't work on Sense. Wifi magically stopped as well. And I can't find the app.

UPDATE: Just found out that ap doesn't work with the EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
Had the same issue last night and this may sound stupid, but I restarted my phone and all was well.

I am sure you already did this, but I figured I would throw it out there. (I am using steelROM with anthrax.)
[HTC EVO 3D] njdurkin:
Unfortunately, restarting does not fix my issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] spookytay:
try wiping cache and dalvik again, re-install the kernel again, wipe cache and dalvik one last time for goodness, then boot again, see if re-installing the kernel fixes it.

I've ran across similar problems, usually a reboot might fix, if not, re-installing the kernel usually worked for me
[HTC EVO 3D] njdurkin:
Just reflashed twice. Restarting both. One like you said. And one without wiping anything. Still no wifi or wimax.
[HTC EVO 3D] AdriVelazquez:
Sounds like you lost your wimax keys. Check with this app.

Did a complete data wipe, flashed rom and kernel. All is good. Thanks for the support guys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xolanir:
I was wondering if the gameloft Nova 2 HD isn't supported on our device? I had the game installed and it showed up in the market when I was on the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, but nothing is showing up on the market and even when I restore the backup that I made, the game force closes when I start it up. Any help/advice on this will be appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GuyIncognito721:
Shows up just fine in my market (running CM7). Of course I'm not spending $6.99 to confirm it works, though I imagine it would.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
I had to edit my build.prop to buy this game. Then when i edited my build.prop back to stock the game did not show up in the market for me any more. I had to email gameloft and a rep sent me a link for a version of the game that will run on the infuse. You are better off to buy it off of the gameloft web site.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xolanir:
Yeah I just sent them an email with my phones info (model etc.). Now the build prop edit, what did you change and did the game run after download? I kinda don't wanna spend money on it again if it won't run. Thx for the help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xolanir:
Thx.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
There might be a easier way to do this but this is how i did it. I went into the build.prop and changed all the i997s to i987. This will make the market think it's a captivate. Then i cleared my data on Google Services Framework and then rebooted the phone. It was in the market after that and it ran fine as long as i left the build.prop at i987.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xolanir:
K cool that IA some dedicated work. NOVA support emailed me and told me that the game is compatible with the infuse and that I have to go through their online store to get it. I'll try the store first, if that fails, then it'll be me and the build.prop later. ;)

Have you tried dead pixel fixing apps on android market? There are a couple such as this one http://bit.ly/xjyCpk

If you have and it does not work, try doing a factory reset.

I have two SGS2s running baseband I9100XXKI1 build number GINERBREAD.XWKI4. Which was updated with Kies

I have debranded both and now are XEU

I have rooted both by flashing XWKDD_insecure.tar then running super on click.

I understand to get rid of yellow triangle I need to flash a secure kernel with odin and this should not effect my root.

Problem I'm having is the supposedly correct kernels i download are ZIP files which extract to zImage.

ODIN only looks for TAR files

Obviously i'm doing something wrong just not sure what?

Please help

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Where'd you get the secure kernel? Intratech's thread has them all, and they are all zipped, but after you unzip them once, they are tarred. if you unzip the tar file, there will be the zImage file. Did you maybe unzip it one too many times? It seems Winzip sees tar files as valid archives, so maybe you extracted it twice?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vialeb:
theres no need to extract the file.it is TAR by itself.if you extract it you'll get zImage.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slight22:
It could just be my phone, but has anyone noticed their music sounding like it have really really small breaks in the sound, almost like the music is crackling? I've even found this when listening to my Sirius Satellite Radio app.

Though I may have found a fix, at least for the music. Originally my music was 320bit and i had just copied a few songs to my GN. When I started to listen to the music i would get crackling like sound or where the music would have almost a stuttering factor. Well i was getting annoyed enough with the crackling I almost went back to my MP3 player. Though I decided to try it one last time but i wanted my entire playlist. Now my playlist was about 200 songs and across many directories so I wasn't going to try search the whole thing for individual songs. Using winamp I copied them all into one directory, unfortunately when Winamp does this it converts them all back down to wav files so I had to reconvert them.

My software for converting back to MP3 is older and only able to convert up to 256bit. I was thinking it was going to be just as annoying, but low and behold my music plays without a glitch, or crackle or break or what ever.

It's almost like the phone can't handle the higher quality of music. Now again this could just be me so I thought I would ask. Unfortunately my Sirius Satellite Radio app still crackles.

Anyone else find this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
also if u have used an app like volume+ to increase your speaker volume, or modify your volume that could be the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slight22:
Good thought, though i never actually got around to installing the app so we can eliminate that as a cause.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
Oh no, lossy to lossy transcoding! Those poor files.

I haven't had any issues playing 320kbps MP3 CBR or MP3 V0. If anything they sound better than on my old iPhone 3GS, especially with DSPManager.

Do they play without any distortion on your PC? Are you using the same headphones?

Perhaps playing around with the equaliser settings in DSPManager would improve the output.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isitalex:
Have had the same problem but only with one album so far, it is 320bit but I also have other albums at 320bits that play ok. Strangely the problem doesn't occur if the screen is on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slight22:
Give me to this weekend and let me hoot the phone up to my input on my PC maybe i can let you all hear what I hear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slight22:
I would agree too if I had actually installed volume+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I don't think it's to do with the bit rate as such but the encoder, or at least the encoding settings, that you used. Almost all my mp3 are in 320 kbps, CBR and VBR, and they all play fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaetawoo:
the phone seems to clip a lot when the volume is at the top two levels. sounds bad. setting it to 3rd highest level or less makes it sound normal and smooth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Not sure if they fixed this with 4.0.3 yet, but it's a known issue that any SAMPLE RATE (not bit rate) other than 44.1KHz can cause stuttering when the phone is in screen-off low power mode. Some EQs that cause the cpu to work have been known to fix it. Also changing the buffer size in PowerAmp has also I think. There are a few threads about it. I have recreated it with another persons 48KHz sample rate mp3. All mine are 44.1KHz and I've never had a problem with any of them, they all sound fantastic.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorealmighty:
So I'm familiar with flashing, just not with the tablet. What's the accepted method for flashing from 1ROM to the next? With my phone I generally flashed back to stock using ODIN. Is it OK to simply jump from one ROM to the next?

Thanks guys.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumbrecher:
The same method for your phone is generally the best way to do it on a tablet as well. You "can" jump from one to another, but you always run the risk of file pieces getting left behind or random little bugs cropping up and such. For that reason, it's always best to do a full wipe, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and then flash the new ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
Formating /system, /data and /cache is sufficient. Factory reset could compromise your /sdcard and /sd-ext (if any) data, depending on the custom recovery you're using.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorealmighty:
I just want to be clear, im to understand that all I really need to do is a fact data reset, and wipe everything from recovery? if thats all there is to it then freaking sweet. flashing to ODIN and going through the motions gets annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumbrecher:
I have always done this with the express intent to wipe everything clear and reinstall all apps and data fresh once I'm on the new ROM, but this has never messed up my CWM.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I love my SGSII and my wife has my old Captivate, but the ODIN stuff all the time did get kind of annoying. Luckily ODIN and a homemade jig are a lifesaver if you ever screw anything up though :D But yes, flashing to a new ROM on the tablet is pretty simple and doesn't have a few of the extra steps you have to do on certain phones. Just back everything up on your PC first, then I generally like to type out a list of all the apps I have on the tablet to redownload afterward, then wipe it all and flash the new ROM, then start downloading stuff from the market again. ;)

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.

I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.

Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...

Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.

The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.

This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)

By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.

Hi, my SGS is stuck on the bootscreen and I don't really know what to do next.

Here's what I've done: I successfully installed mintberry on my device. Then I tried to root my phone again to restore all my apps through titanium backup. I used CF root for this but now my phone is stuck on the bootscreen. When I go to recovery mode it says: 'unknown volume for path' and a whole bunch of other errors. I tried flashing another kernel (Semaphore 2.5.0) and I got this: 'failed to open /etc/recovery.fstab'

So, what schould I do now?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weissi46:

Remember how in High School or College you would have to DO YOUR RESEARCH to find your information before turning it in to your teacher or professor?...So far in the past 12 months this XDA School Research Skill and Overall GPA has dropped. In this SGSII class of the school, we are bringing our GPA up, and now we are on a level thats "considered passing". I was a new student in this class about 2 weeks ago and everyone made me feel like I was at home, but the rest of the school im not to sure about. XDA school was the one everyone went to about everything Android. Now since the teachers and students are slowly turning in degrees, we are loosing a lot of our students and teachers to other schools. We cannot let this happen because this is where it all started. We have to start gaining the quality of our school back, our prestige is dropping.

So lets get started...

Instead of teachers having to spend extra time assisting students, students should learn to RESEARCH and Experiment on their own time. Teachers only volunteer at this school. No paychecks, pensions, workman's compensation, just breaks and retiremen. Teachers should help students more and explain things more in a detailed fashion. XDA School is changing so we have to change with it. Dont fight it, go with the flow and make it work for everyone. There has to be a line to draw in the middle, where students can help one another, troubleshoot, and have fun with the teachers. Im a teacher myself and comming up with lesson plans that will hold everyone in the class over until I write a new one is not easy. Sleep is lost, donations are good, but overall not good enough to deal with the stress in our personal lives because we all go through it. Competition is always present but thats no excuse for teachers to critique other teachers. We may not be together in reality but we are a community, so lets act like it.

:-D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
The worse part about it is, the quality of the issues people report in threads. Most of the time they are "non issue issues" Meaning its not a bug in the ROM just a problem that they are having.

They will post their problem and hope for someone to get a fix for them and get upset when people flame them. The people who can fix the problem have no right to flame either. Fighting fire with fire has become way to common here. The people dont say things like "I looked online in such and such place but i dont understand what its telling me, or this method is outdated any updates on it", nothing like that, that shows they were putting fourth an effort in the first place. It was such a joy for me to research and learn because it led me to create ROMs and themes. I felt a lot better when I figured out how to fix my own problems and it made me a better Rooted android user.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
I think te problem is "free stuff" attracts those type of people. Google has done a great thing with the open source stuff. I wish there was a system in place that encouraged organized companies to produce ROMs, granite that means those roms would be pay only and the current system doesn't work with it. You can choose to stick with the stock touchwiz rom OR you could pay to run aosp made by company X or you could download a free rom made by thursday. How much has this community donated to various devs in "hopes" they dev something good?

Android has blown up recently and people like to customize their phone. Old days of only tech geeks using roms are gone. People need answers fed to them. If they paid money for a rom they should be entitled to those answers given to them.
