[Xperia Arc General] TeoMingErn:
Hi,

I have been using the Arc since last Apr/May. In this time, I have been frustrated with the phone inability to detect a secure network that does not broadcast its SSID. This network is my work place's secure network. The wifi network parameters were set up on my phone by work place IT support staff. The curious thing is that it detects my home wifi network instantaneously and I have no issues with it remaining locked onto my home network. My home networked is secured using WPA-PSK. The work place network is secured using PEAP (802.1x EAP).

Anyone knows how I can get the phone to detect the network? My colleagues iPhones (3GS, 4 or 4S) have absolutely no issues detecting and locking onto the network anywhere at our workplace premises. My phone can't even detect the network in the IT support hub where the router is standing in front of me!!!

I'm due for an upgrade for phone and I intend to keep the current Arc as backup and get a new phone using the upgrade voucher. I am therefore considering the Arc S since I like the Arc very much... so whether I get the Arc S finally depends on whether I can solve this issue or not with your help...

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc General] BirdyOfPrey:
Check if your workplace Wifi broadcast channel is set to 12 or 13. If this is the case it is a problem with the regulatory domain on our firmwares which is set to limit the wifi channels to only 11 (legal stuff in america bahhh).

I have detected this issue when I bought the arc S, 3 months ago and so far I haven't found any solution for this, using the stock firmware.

The good news is using custom firmwares I can see all the 13 channels, so its not an hardware limitation!

Hey developers i have question ..

What is the difference between SGS2 GT-I9100 and GT-I9100P , and could i instal a ROM of an I9100 on I9100P .
[General Questions and Answers] Saull:
The i9100p has NFC, you can flash i9100 roms but you will lose NFC. There is a way to re enable it if you search the forum.
[General Questions and Answers] hichem77:
Thank you Saull .. but i dont understand what do you mean by NFC .. sorry
[General Questions and Answers] MoonRaven:
NFC is near-field-communication. With it you can do, for example, payments through NFC enabled paying stations, share information with it (like contact information, pictures, etc.) and such stuff.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
I was wondering if making a nandroid backup will also back up the virtual SD card. I have pictures, videos, etc. If nandroid does not back up the virtual SD card is there a different method I can use to back the card up?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chefdave12118:
All of that (music, videos, pics etc) stay on the SD. You could flash 1000 roms and kernels with 25 backups and all your SD card stuff stays in tact.

Hope that helps ya :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
Do you recommend making a backup in nandroid or titanium backup? And where does nandroid put the backup? On the root of the SD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
There is no SD card...

The backup path is /sdcard/clockwork mod/backup or something similar.

And for which to use: Titanium backup only backs up applications, nandroid backs up almost everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chefdave12118:
I think you know what he meant when he said SD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chefdave12118:
I would do a nandroid and a TB backup and yes your nandroid goes to your SD.

Titanium backup will be helpful for your appsand a nandroid will be helpful if you bork anything (boot loop, bad flash etc).

Good luck and pm me if you need any other help. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bballer71418:
I was pretty dissapointed when I found out that the TP was running ICS without a linux 3.0 based kernel. Does anyone think that is part of the lock up and freezing problem? ICS was designed to run on top of a 3.0 kernel and I hope ASUS can bring an updated kernel soon so we can experience a 'more true' ICS. I will say that the TP is by far the fastest tablet I have ever owned so overall very happy with my purchase.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diablosv36:
I agree, I'm no expert on this topic, but I do note when CM9 switched to a 3.0.8 kernel for my Galaxy S, it has been more reliable, my uptime has been weeks, and has been faster to boot.

On top of this, this rom is considered alpha quality too :eek:.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
The difference between 2.6.39 and 3.0 is minimal. See here.

- If you quote there is no need to quote the entire post – quote the part of the post you are responding to. Delete the rest.

- THEME RELATED QUESTIONS (i.e. icons/wallpapers) belong in the theme and apps sub forum: THEME AND APPS

- If somebody asks lazy questions, just IGNORE THEM! They will eventually get the HINT!

Raver's Clarification

:

From FBis251

:

What was the font in rc2?

----> sony style

How i can get the blue eye (or any other) wallpaper again

?

Which ROM was it in? Do you still have the .zip?

- Pull the system/app/Launcher.apk

- Unzip it. Yes, apk is a zip file.

- Look in res/drawable-hdpi folder.

Does the final.zip have a shutdown animation

?

- In the Final.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - the folder is empty.

- If you have the BlackEdition.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - shutdown.qmg is in the folder.

Add back the 'Audible touch tones', 'Audible selection', and 'Screen lock Sounds' that are not in the Vahlalla - Black Edition - Final-Fixed.zip

Great idea lumin. Will keep this towards the top for sure. Maybe we can have Raver post a link to this in the OP with something like "Any non-bug related questions NEED to be directed here." Not that anyone will read it but worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
I would love to see the thread locked and pointed here – as of writing this the thread is already 147 pages.

That would be a bad idea Unless i locked the thread it would mean i would have to make threads for every damm update it did sorry not going to do that... Trust me 147 pages isnt alot when u consider some roms get over 500+.

Not to say i dont know what your getting at.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Didn't realize the OP could not still edit the thread when locked... I obviously have never locked a thread before. Thanks for the clarification.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Ahhh - link back up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] devlinandersen:
guilty!

I like this idea, sadly we might not get to see it in action. I'm pretty new here, and as such, just like anywhere else I go when I'm unfamiliar with my surroundings, it takes a bit to get acclimated to my surroundings. This goes for anyone, anywhere. I asked for a font in the development thread, and I did this after a PM to the dev with the simple question "thanks, nice rom, what was the font in rc2?" No response, I'm sure he's busy. No big deal, so I asked in the dev forum thinking that a change such as this could be easily answered in the forum about the development (read: continual change) thread. It was simple, but people who were running other, more current versions than what I requested were answering me, when all I needed was an answer from someone who knew the answer.

The longstanding members are just as guilty in this forum for messing up threads with "nice work" that have less to do with development than "my DSP force closes but I'm new and don't know how to run a logcat, be sure not to help me and tell me to search everyone thanks."

I'd go back and delete all my non-development related posts but it doesn't seem that I can, if it's possible, tell me how and I will. I'd be happy to delete all 13 of my posts in the name of cleaning up the forum. My solution, in addition to the thoughts by lumin laid out above would be for a forum moderator to delete posts as they get out of hand. I don't know if that's possible, but that's my best suggestion.

It would really help us new people if the sticky threads in this SGS forum were up to date, as well. The bible is dated, I spent the better part of 3 weeks reading and searching before I was comfortable enough to flash a ROM.

That's my 2 cents, and again, I'm pretty new. Sometimes new perspective can indicate that new tricks are needed by old dogs. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
sony style was used sorry.... Sometimes i am slow about getting back to people doesnt mean i dont read posts :P or pm's

I flashed this rom twice and twice got a blank black screen after rebooted. What did I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
@ tonie972 : Give us more info. What were you on before? Did you read and follow the OP? How did you flash?

EDIT: Why are most of your other posts in the Vibrant section? Do you have a SGS4G?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tonie972:
I was on GB 2.3.6 or the latest one. I did follow the OP but I skipped step 2 because I read it wasn't necessary and I don't know what UMMU is.

I placed the file on my SD and reboot recovery from CWM and flashed it.

I have a Vibrant and just recently acquired this phone from my sister.

Please let me know if you need any more info and thank you for your patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] devlinandersen:
I did this same thing once by accident. Not sure if *all* of this was necessary, but here's what I did to fix it:

Took my SD card out of my phone and placed the custom ROM (Valhalla Black in my case) from the Valhalla Black thread AND the Busybox Installer zip from this thread onto the root directory.

Entered download mode (volume up and down + plug in USB cable) at STEP 6 of this thread. Why from step 6? Because steps 1-5 refer to the transfer from Froyo to GB (bootloaders) and you are already on GB.

At step 8b you will be stock with KJ6 and CWM Recovery. You can then continue with the steps to install the ROM of your choice in step 11.

So now you're going to be following instructions from the Valhalla Black thread, BUT be careful because you need to install busybox before you completely reboot out of recovery to complete the steps in the GB starter pack thread! Flash ROM in CWM, then flash Busybox in CWM.

Do not skip any steps! As for the mounts question, when you are in CWM Recovery go to >Mounts and Storage and make sure that the mounts read "unmount, mount, mount, unmount" for the first 4 options.

Good luck, hope this helps!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Your contacts do not automatically sync to your sim card. You would have had to backed them up intentionally for them to be on there. Are you sure your contacts were saved to your sim card? Did you try the T-Mobile backup .apk to see if they were previously synced with T-Mobile?

My opinion is you should consider just using gmail to back up your contacts. You really don't need to save them to your sim card (will only save basic info/one number per contact/etc) and T-Mobile (why do we want to give them our contacts). Gmail for me has been the smoothest and easiest way to sync contacts. It is comprehensive in saving all the info I want for them, easiest to backup/restore when flashing a new ROM since you have to sign into a gmail account anyways. And it is the easiest way to edit, add and clean up your contacts.

I set a label in gmail named 'Phone Sync' and labeled all the contacts I want on my phone. This way I have control over exactly what contacts I want showing on my phone and not all my gmail contacts/emails.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] putsometrebleinit:
Thanks. It definitely doesn't have root capabilities, or none that I found. Back to ES file explorer, which is a shame because I liked the lightweight OI File Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You can also use root browser which is free.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Never even dawn on me to do this..Ive been struggling with some contacts getting synced over. I delete them from the phone and about once every two weeks they will pop back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
If you use this method, you need to make sure that in your Contacts (stock or 3rd Party) that in display options you go to the gmail account you are syncing and only select 'Phone Sync'.

I actually have a 'Phone Sync' label set up in two different gmail accounts, one for business and one for personal, so my business and personal contacts are not going in the same gmail account. I use google Business and have my business domain ported to Google which allows me to sync my business account with Google even though it is my own domain.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
If I were you I'd consider doinganother clean slate start(following fbis250's tutorial as it gives you the official gb bootloaders[kj6]) and let whatever ROM you choose soak in for a day (to assure there's no random reboots) before adding any tweaks. Also, how are you backing up (tb/nandroid)?

On a side note vb always gave me problems after a factory reset/wipe data, I overcame this by flashing Valhalla final then Valhalla black fixed. Not a problem since
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
I didn't do any backups I just went on a clean slate, my sd card wouldn't mount after installing odin kg4 I believe well I didn't realize it until I installed bhuvden kernel after that, so then I formatted and fixed my sd card now it mounts properly again I doubt that could contribute to my current problem of battery draining even quicker + 2 - 3 reboots.

Ill try fb's way next I guess.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I looked in my Final-Fixed.zip and the CMScreenshot.apk was not in there.

"For CyanogenMod 7 and other Gingerbread ROMs, a Google Apps package was found which is DPI and architecture-independent, so all devices now use the same Universal package. In addition, any app which can be installed from the Android Market such as Gmail, Maps, and Voice Search were removed from the package to eliminate the need for a Tiny package. Instead, the Pacman application was added, which asks the user to select which Google Apps should be downloaded and installed from the Market."

Do you remember when you flashed the ROM and it opened up the Market for google apps?

OK, I searched this thread, and there's no matches for 'hulu'.

I'm using Valhalla Black Final Fixed and having trouble with Hulu Plus. I'm using the modified Hulu Plus by vgeezy.

That app worked fine when I was on stock GB. Now that I try to use it, I get eternal buffering and no video. I can see the ads though, before the video. I use no ad blocker.

You can test it, even if you do not have a Hulu Plus subscription, there's a 'Free Gallery' there, with few random TV show episodes, and the Superbowl ads were available too last time I checked. If you're outside US, use a VPN, it checks IP.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I wonder if it is a DRM issue. I read about the divx.apk yesterday. You may look into that.
