[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
On my rezound on 4g I did a speed test and got 43mb down. At home 5-7mb. Why do you think my home still connects at 4g but is so much slower?

Also I can't download from the web but can surf the web where I got 43mb. I wonder why??

And at home I connect at 4g but it changes to 3g sometimes.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You probably have a weaker signal at home.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Hi. Here's an update.

I don't have the Rezound now. Returned it and got an iPhone 4s white 32gb yesterday. Didn't like how siri sucked for me and couple other issues so I returned it today.

I got today the Galaxy Nexus. While setting it up it changed from 4G to 3G a lot. I think most of the time it said 3G. What's going on? The rezound said 4G more often. Now with the Nexus, I think it says 3g more.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
dude, you got a samsung! ;D
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
There have been numerous complaints about the galaxy nexus having a weak radio. Should have stuck with the rezound.

Who let you keep switching out the phone? Usually they only let you switch out a device once.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
I was off contract. My contract ended couple weeks ago. They always told me I could return it within 14 days.

I didn't keep the Rezound because I have the Droid Incredible and the Rezound screen didn't seem that much better. No wow factor really. I liked it, just not much better I thought. I liked the ear buds and the 4G. Sense had couple nice things my Incredible doesn't have.

Got Nexus cus it was nicer screen some say. And its ICS. I did see a Rezoumd vs Nexus review and he said Nexus was about 3mbps slower 4G then the Rezound download and about 1 or 2mbps lower on the upload. Some recommend Nexus over Rezound so I thought I would try the Nexus now.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Where I work I get 4G signal on one or two bars, while a coworker on his Galaxy Nexus only get 3G. I guess it has to due with maybe a reception issue on the Galaxy Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Tbaker, is yer phone a nexus?

I think I'm taking the nexus back and getting the Rezound again today after I wake up. It's 2am pst for me and I go to bed soon.

I play monopoly on my nexus and it has major touch issues and a sound issue too. Didn't have this issue so much with the Rezound when I had it. I'm a bit bugged.

But I like if possible to have ICS no sense on the Rezound.

I'm just bothered by the nexus worse signal and couple other things. So maybe I can get ICS on the Rezound. I do like Senseless ICS though.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
That's a lot of phones in a short period of time. Verizon might flag you, and you might get stuck with the GN.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
What's that saying? Oh yeah, the grass is always greener on the other side.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Huh?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I did alot of reading before pulling the trigger on my upgrade. I was coming from an OG droid , so really wanted an updated phone this time. I figured it was the Gnex from all the hype and being a dev phone etc.. Luckily, I waited a bit and read the forums for the 3 big phones. Saw that the Gnex had alot of radio strength issues, so went with the Rezound because as much as I like to play with the phone it still needs to work for me.

I don't know how much you read prior to getting the Gnex , but you could have found out the common issues without having to try it out :)
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Yeah I did read the engadget reviews on the nexus and saw a video comparing the nexus and resound. Every article or review basically said the nexus was the one to get. The video guy said and showed the nexus was 3mb slower on the 4g download and 1 or 2 mb slower on 4g upload.

I'm taking the nexus back. I can't stand the touch issues in monopoly and right now I hate the nexus keyboard. Its pausing every couple letters really bad. Plus I don't like how low the speaker is cus I listen to the bible when I go to bed. Nexus sounds poor and lower volume.

But what I don't like about the Resound is how it is so similar to my incredible. The screen doesn't seem much better then my incredible. But it may if it ran ics without sense. That possible with a rom? I liked the 4g and speaker wàs OK. Included earbuds were nice except kept falling out my ears lol. Plus rezound is $100 cheaper then the nexus. Yet still includes the ear buds.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Yes, it is.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
That means every thing looks good when you don't have it, but when you do have it, it isn't worth the hype.

In other words, buyer's remorse.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
You don't think the screen is much better than the incredible? Either you are blind or you got a bad screen. I had an incredible the amoled one even, the screens aren't even comparable, if you want to compare screens compare it to the nexus and the rezound still wins.
[HTC Rezound] buggs1a:
Oh ok lol.

I got the rezound again few hrs ago. I'm just noticing an anti glare type coating on the rezound screen. I notice stuff on the whole screen when looking at it from an Angle. Really buggs me. I hate anti glare coating on anything and I prefer the clear screens of tv, monitor etc even with glare. What I am referring to looks a lot like anti glare coating.

The 4g signal though it for sure better then the nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RamblingIdiot:
Hello, thank you for reading this, to start with.

First off, here are the specs of the phone I am asking about:

Galaxy S 4G exclusive from T-mobile

Model #: SGH-T959V

Firmware: 2.2.1

Kernel:2.6.32.9

Build #: FROYO.VUVKD1

If that's not enough please ask.

Back Story: Phone was given to my ex by his mother. It was for T-mobile, which don't have good plans for pre-paid/pay as you go in my area. So I was asked to make it work for ATT. I rooted using Superoneclick, and then did the hex voodoo and unlocked the phone. It worked for a few months, no problem. There was no data plan so no phone internet was acessed, wifi was but only rarely. It DID work.

Then, the other day, my ex dropped it. It worked just fine for a minute or two, but now is stuck with no service, and such. No imei number. No phone number. Nothing. Searches for the provider. Sim card has been replaced just in case. I've restored and re-rooted, but i couldn't re-unlock the sim # as the hex editor couldn't find the code. AND the sim doesn't ask for an unlock code when inserted.

I have googled and searched my tushie off to figure this out. All my answers are bad flashing of roms and such, and the last anything that was done to it out of ordinary use was me unlocking it, and it worked for months.

Keep in mind that i haven't a clue what flashing a rom means, or what odin is (i read that several times, haven't a clue what it is), and I know how to follow step by step instructions as long as they use reasonably understandable terms to the android nooblett.

I am currently running on an ubuntu laptop, so downloading and running anything means I download, put it on a flash drive, and install it or run it on a windows computer that doesn't have internet access (long story, i'm rambling as it is).

Some extras:

I did not do any backups, because everything worked for the longest time anyways.

I've tried a few things involving nv_data.bin and the like, but it seems they don't exist or are hidden from my silly self.

I have to re-root and such as I've just performed a factory reset to see if that would fix the issue.

I am extremely tired so I'll likely do nothing tonight, including responding, as I have to work tomorrow and lots of other things.

I am a rambling idiot, feel free to mock me for it, but i do try and give out as much information as I can.

Any questions? If not, please, please, please tell me an answer that doesn't involve sending this phone back, because it's long out of warranty and has passed through many hands (the previous people did not like t-mobile either...).

And thank you for reading the ramblings of this idiot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Are you sure it's not a hardware issue? I dropped my old iPhone 3G and it stopped recognizing my SIM unless it was placed just right. Have you tried any other SIM cards in there? Take a look at my SGS4G carrier unlocker (link is in my signature) and see if it scans through your nv_data.bin file correctly. I never liked that people encourage direct editing of that file. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Have you tried seeing if Samsung Kies mini will recognize your phone? Since you still seem to be on factory stock and did a factory reset.... download Kies mini, plug your phone in and see if it will recognize it. Kies mini - in case you are unaware is Samsung's software to update our phone.

If it recognizes your phone - try to do the upgrade to Gingerbread. If it will upgrade to Gingerbread, it might rewrite your efs folder - which is where the IMEI and phone information is stored. If it doesn't rewrite the efs folder... it shouldn't matter if your phone is out of warranty as Kies mini - you will say and not mention the other stuff you have done - messed it up during the upgrade... which is happening to people more than you would think. Take it back to where you purchased the phone and give it a shot. Or try contacting Samsung. Many have done that as well. You need a computer you can download Kies mini to and do the upgrade... in other words - a computer with internet access you can work on.

o You may start with another Factory Reset

o Download Kies mini if you do not already have it. < - - Click link here for Kies mini - When you follow this link you will see two tabs - 'Manuals' and 'Software' - click software and download.

o Make sure your phone is charged.

o Make sure USB Debugging is off.

o Start Kies mini on the computer.

o Make sure phone is not connected to computer yet.

o In USB Settings on phone select ‘Kies (Firmware update)’ if it is not set to ask every time.

o Plugged in phone, let device drivers install on computer. You will see a notification on your computer when complete.

o Then Kies mini will recognize the phone.

o Hit upgrade and wait.

o Phone will eventually reboot. Check your IMEI.

You owned an iPhone FB? Damn! :D

FB is one of the best on here... however, if you are on stock you should try an upgrade if Kies mini will recognize your phone. I have read flashing stock - in this instance via Kies mini - has many times rewritten the efs folder for people with IMEI problems. Either way - if he is on stock everything he can take it in to T-Mobile and ask for you?

Thoughts on that FB?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I still have it lying around and it's bricked. I wanna try flashing it again with another USB cable but I can't find my spare. :)

Hmm, haven't ever tried the kies mini approach but it's worth a shot, especially if it'll restore the /efs directory.

If it IS fully stock, then yes take it in to T-Mob and see if they'll give you a replacement and next time don't go editing anything in /efs directly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RamblingIdiot:
Thank you everyone. I will try these things later today. Like I said the only things I've personally done to it are root and unlock. I dunno what happened and its possible it could be hardware, but ill try updating it through kies first. Again thank you, ill keep you updated on what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alon2:
Hi,

If the problem is solved for you please edit the title in the OP and add [SOLVED] to it

10x
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RamblingIdiot:
Ok Guys/Gals, I'm stumped...

Followed the instructions. Mini Kies on computer that works with it (windows vista 32 bit), waited til kies told me to plug in the device. I did. Drivers installed. I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited a bit more. Then it pops up for me to enter a pattern. No pattern had been established with that phone before. So I set one up on the phone, and redid all that, thinking that's all I had to do. Asked me for the pattern again, I put it in.

Here are the steps i'm taking.

Mini kies asks me to plug in my phone.

I do it (this is the phone in the thread, not my actual phone).

And I wait. A while, actually. Somewhere in the line of 1-5 minutes.

And now i get a little popup. "Pattern" the header reads. "The mobile phone is locked. To connect, use the mouse to enter the pattern as specified by the mobile phone." Followed by the pattern unlocker.

I place the pattern i created on the phone in to the one on the computer. It must not be right (as there was none to begin with, and i had to create new and redo this whole step) because now it reads:

Firmware version: device cannot be upgraded

Firmware upgrade: (this is a blank nothingness)

Agh, don't get me wrong, i love this stuff, but after dealing with a defaulty U-scan computer all day (i am a cashier...), computers are not on my good list.

Please help :D?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RamblingIdiot:
Ok, so after hours of crying, moaning, cursing, yelling at the phone, cursing SD cards for being so small, cursing the better phone for being more retarded than it's cheapo brother the Prevail, I fixed it.

I was so frustrated, i reset everything, again. Still wouldn't work with kies. Checked everything. Made sure I was doing everything right. Googled every last letter i could find about my issue.

I wanted to throw the phone, but instead, i took the battery out, the sim card out, and the SD card out, and cursed each and every one of them out. Before I continue, let me say, that I'd done this before, for approximately the same time, if not longer. Then, i threatened their inanimate lives and put them back, and tried to do the kies update. Turned on the phone, not expecting any miracle of any sort. Suddenly the phone's alive with all sorts of missed calls and texts and who knows what else. So while the phone is no longer rooted, it's still unlocked, and works like a dream again.

TL;DR version? Took the battery, sim, and SD card out for a while. Even though I'd done this as the first thing i did when this issue started happening, perhaps yelling at them made the difference. :rolleyes:

Thank you all for putting up with me and my rambling idiocy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Awesome, glad you got it working again. Maybe we need to put "threatening sdcard/SIM card" methods into the wiki... :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Stephen

I threaten my phone with a trip to the recycling yard all the time. It works.

And to the OP glad you got it figured out. A few people with the imie issue have used the pull battery wait ten approach and it seems to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Glad you fixed it.

I strongly suggest you make a copy of your efs folder in case you have an IMEI issue again. I keep a copy of my efs folder on my external sdcard and my PC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
i was looking at a android OS info app on my et4g that is currently running the latest blend rom w/ gunslinger kernel and noticed it said no support for /mnt/.lfs could someone please enlighten me on this subject? should it be enabled or supported? i did a little searching but came up with nothing to applicable. thanks, veritas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
It has something to do with boot splash images. The very first image you see when you power on your phone is the splash image. Contained in the /mnt/.lfs/ are all the images (and a couple easter eggs) for every SGSII. The image that's displayed varies based on the model. I know with HTC phones we were able to use custom splash images. The process can do some damage if done incorrectly since it's an actual partition.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Don't mess with it unless you know what you are doing or you can prevent your phone from booting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
there wasn't an option to mess with anything. it just stated that it wasn't enabled/supported and i was trying to get some info on the subject in regards to our phone. thanks though
[Blade General] grrigor:
Is there a possibility in ZTE Blade to change carrier name, which is reported by RIL libraries? My point is, that I am using Play as my home operator and on screen I see POL, not Play. Is it possible to change it?

I am not interested in permanent carrier custom name, becuse my operator is using national roaming, and I want to have possibility to know, to which operator I am already logged.

And second question - is there any way to change Phone Line Name? On my swedish card it is filled correctly with Comviq, but on my polish SIM card it is left blank. I think that if there is a possibility to change PLN, then I can choose in CM7 to use Phone Line Name as an carrier name.

One of the main reason I used dolphin browser on my inc2 was cause it showed a detailed(somewhat) description of how the download was progressing i.e. 20.84mb out of 402mb or w/e. In the stock ICS browser it just gives you the percentage, is there a plugin I can grab to give me more info or am i stuck until they update dolphin for ICS
[HTC EVO 3D] megarain5:
Hey GUIs...I recently used the HTC official unlck to unlock ny EVO 3s and then I installed a ROM...I thought that the ROM might be the problem but it wasn't....first off when I installed it my Wimax, camera,WiFi, or video playback didn't work...she. I flashed the damn Sprint ROM back and still had the sane problems? Any thoughts?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
What rom did you install? Did you install the kernal to go with that rom? Did you re-install the stock kernal when you went back to the stock rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] megarain5:
I had installed.miui at first and then synergy and I didn't do either kernel for either 3 ROMS...where would u find them
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
You need the appropriate kernel for the rom to run properly. Kernels for each rom should be listed in the rom thread. If you are on hboot 1.5 you will have to flash the kernel separately in the bootloader or with the Flash GUI app.
[HTC EVO 3D] megarain5:
so even with me messing up the kernel once if i find the correct kernel everything will revert and work? because when i flashed miui it stuck on the startup screen and never loaded past that so if i find the kernel that solves everything?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
I would at least wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the kernel. If you run into problems, you may need to fully wipe, then install the rom from stratch, then install the kernel right after.
[HTC EVO 3D] megarain5:
Well yeah thats the problem i did it using the flash gui app...the first kernel i tried which was a tiamut kernel didnt load....so i used rcmix_3d_evo_kernel...it accepted, when it went into reboot. it never loaded after that. But now when i go into my recovery...i can actually unpack that zip now. when beforehand, it would alwasy fail...does that mean something? im trying the way you just said by flashing it, then wipping the dalvik and cache and then flashing my rom, basically right now im bricked unless this works, and the way to help me not be bricked doesnt work because megaupload has been seized so i cant get the cwm to make my sd card. RUU doesnt work to flash it back to stock. Im pretty much stuck with a bricked phone...hopefully i find a way around this. theres a thread on here that refers to other people being bricked from this exact kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] megarain5:
Hey you really helped me, i ended up being bricked but what i had to do was flash the kernel twice or idk exactly which worked but i had to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM i were gonna use and flash the kernel...now all of my things are back working, 4g, wifi,video playback and everyting...the thing is the kernel was a defective kernel IF NOT FLASHED CORRECTLY.
