supercid

I don't think this is necessarily true, i was able to flash leedroid ics:) using mike's guide on changing cidnum and not using supercid.;)
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Which method did you use? I think you have put the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd card. Just delete the file . You will be fine.

One more thing, the firmware update did not happen as the CID is not listed that particular firmware. Check your CID using fasboot command .( after deleting the PG58IMG.zip ) then download a compatible firmware package which includes your CID and flash it.

Hope you know how to use fastboot command. If not no problem . Just do a search in the forum....

EDIT:

Yes. No need to do superCID . Download the compatible firmware. Add your CID in the android-info.text in firmware zip file and save it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roakes:
Hey all,

I've had my SGS2 since May 2011 and using VillainROM as it has developed. The weird thing over the last few months has been the phone gradually slows down, I don't have a massive amount of apps installed and nothing running that should cause a slow down. It slows to the point where response to screen selections takes a second or two and even the haptic feedback slows down now and again (so instead of a quick buzz it causes a long buzz and then the next one will be OK).

The one solution I've found is to Titanium backup all of the apps and data then wipe and re-install the ROM, restore all apps and data then it's fine. The fact that I'm backing up/restoring the apps and it still being OK is another reason I don't believe it's app related, the only thing that will have changed is the full wipe and re-install of the ROM. This then lasts a couple of months in a good state before slowly getting worse again.

While this is a sure-fire solution it's also a time consuming and annoying one. So has anyone got any ideas as to what I could do to resolve this issue without a wipe?

Thanks

Russ

From what I have read (and I haven't had a chance to try this yet but I will), you can keep your WiFi and Data on at the same time and when you go to send/receive a MMS your data SHOULD take over for that particular time period. I am about to test it in like 5 mins so I will post if this actually works or not. Just flashed Gingersnap 1.21 and don't know if this even has the ability to send MMS over WiFi like Zombie can.

Edit: I can confirm on Gingersnap 1.21 that you can send/receive MMS if you have WiFi on, WiFi calling off, and Data on. as far as battery drain goes I can't really test that just yet but I can get back to you if you would like by tomorrow.

2 h AC, 4 h USB charging time

Hi, I am new here but I think it will reset over time...:)

I have a DS with two different batteries (Stock 1450 mAh and Mugen 1800 mAh). I have noticed that charging them from USB takes about 4 hours and from AC about 2 hours.

I am using the Battery Monitor Widget Pro and soon the Mugen Power app to get the most out of the batteries.
[HTC Desire S] kire.htc:
2h 40min from 9% to 100% with phone off.

FYI the stock 1450mAh battery charged from USB to 2-100 % in 4h38m in off-state (involuntary...: )

Will submit further info on new charging times as they occur.
[HTC Desire S] peca89:
My charging also lasts 4h since I switched to Endymion. Here is my charging graph, looks very awkward. 0-80% in 2h is OK, but 80-95 in 1h45 and then last 5% in 15mins looks bad.
[HTC Desire S] AquaSheep:
Maybe you should check how much Amp your phone is charging between 80-95%. It could be that it is much lower than between 0-80%. I assume you use a genuine HTC charger?
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
I am having the same problem aswell, it just took forever to fully charge my phone now. I only just got this phone back in August, so I doubt it's the battery fault.

Would charging over AC be faster than charging over USB?

[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
i also have the same problem with you guys, but for months now :mad:

my phone used to charge 0->100% in 2 hours and now it takes up to 4.

i get the same graph from battery widget as above.

The strange thing is, when battery is at 80% (after 2hours charging) the mV value reaches highest because battery is really full. Try to restart phone and percentage will jump to 100%!

This happens with every custom rom

Anyway, battery has a 6 month guaranty (phone has 2 years) and now I know why
[HTC Desire S] man4u2nv:
when i was on stock rom my phone took 2hrs to charge using AC. after rooting and romming a month ago it now takes 3-4hrs. i've had Coredroid as my rom for around a month and only noticed recently the long charge times using AC. battery monitor widget for me also says 3hr42m for full AC charge. i'm beginning to think its custom rom related as well.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shibumi77:
One of the main reasons why I bough a smart phone was in order to use the GPS. And while I'm quite happy with my Ace, GPS is so slow is almost useless.

I already a long research about it, and tried some of the fixes available, like this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1284506, and indeed, the speed to detect satellites has improved.

I'm using this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=es, to check what is the gps status, and it has been very useful.

Apparently, the problem is not the phone having problem to see the satellites, it could see and use 4 relatively fast, instead the seems to be that it need to use at least 9 satellites to get the actual position. Is that normal? Reading about gps, it says it only need 3 or 4, for some reason, even with 8, my ace could not calculate the coordinates. So it could take sometimes more than 20 minutes to know where I am.

Usually, the satellites receptions goes between 20 and 40, which is not much, but I'm not sure that is the cause of the problem.

So if any know how it supposed to work, I will be thankful for any info. Also, if your phone is quick to tell you the position once you enable, I will really appretiate if you can make a quick test with the above app (or another), to let me know how many satellites are needed to know the coordinates, and that is the signal range you are getting, so I can compare and see where my phone is failing.

And of course, if you have any suggestion, they are welcome.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] acceleratus:
take a look at this fix, just introduced a few days ago. It only works for CM7.x!, but for me it gives a very fast lock. It uses stock rom libs and a basic gps.conf file.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1465402

For me this gives a lock in about 5-10 sec. Really great! More satellites = more accuracy. You can get a lock with just one, but the lock is just worse.

remark: if you flash it you lose your old lib files and re flashing PFGPS tweak won't work, so make sure you make a system backup.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shibumi77:
Thanks for the suggestion! Now for sure works different... I think it could see the satellite even faster than before, but while before it could use them almost as soon as it see them, now it take longer to start to use them, and use only 3 or 4, and the accuracy is not as good as before (between 150 and 200). Still I think is a improving, at least it give me roughly my position.

It will be really helpful for me if you could make a quick test with the application I mentioned above, I need to know how the gps usually works when working like yours, how many satellites can view, how many of them use, how much time it use.

If you can do that for me, I will be really grateful.

When you try to setup VPN on the phone ICS enforces a pin screen lock policy.

WTF, is there a way to bypass this?

If you can use OpenVPN, you can get around it, since it's 3rd party and not integrated into that stupid forced lock. I'd imagine someone must have fixed this in a custom rom? but don't know of any personally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
I've noticed that if you set up facial recognition unlock before attempting the VPN settings, that will work out fine. You can't add it after the fact though.

Personally, I just use a simple pattern. It's not terribly secure, but is just as quick to unlock as slide-to-unlock would be.

Not currently possible to tether HC or ICS G9 to adhoc wifi ap.

After many days of researching there is no current solution to tethering a G9 to a adhoc wifi connection be it HC or ICS. My quest has failed.

The only hope seems to be if someone can modify the archos g9 ICS version of /system/bin/wpa_supplicant (seems to be hardware dependent) file similar to what other developers have done for other devices such as the Xoom, Adam and Prime (I've already tried the wpa_supplicant files that are used with these devices, no joy). I don't think that's going to be likely due to the relatively small takeup of the G9. I've also tried solutions based on minipulating the \data\misc\wifi\wpa_supplicant.conf file as well. I'm giving up finding a solution on the G9 side of the equation and will probably un-root it back to factory default. I'm also thinking of selling off my archos g9 101 hdd turbo and buying a windows 7/8 tablet but thats another story.

I've been trying to tether my G9 to my Windows Mobile 6.5 smart phone via HTC Wifi Router. I've scoured the web, read numerous articles, tried all sorts of procedures to no avail.
