[HTC Sensation] vshun:
Hi,

I decided to flash Virtuous ICS ROM + accompanying firmware 1.24 flashed from hboot + 1.7 new kernel (previously used Revolution Gingerbread ROM stripped of all Sense).

Everything is smooth but I noticed phone data coverage shows Edge everywhere it used to show HSPA+ on all the highways.

I assume radio is not including TMobile bands, should I find a different firmware? I assume the issue is a firmware and not kernel or ROM, but I used link for firmware that is mentioned in the main Virsuous ROM thread that is supposed to be compatible with the ROM. Perhaps it is not compatible with TMobile though?

Thanks,

Vadim.

Check if Auto GSM/WCMDA is enabled in the mobile settings.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Which ROM? Did you flash h boot 1.27 after flashing ROM or before?, It has a new radio and ril., if you flashed your ROM after the firmware update the RIL May not match.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Like ARHD it's probably based on the EU ROMs so there isn't a 4G icon.

Flash a 4G icon mod.
[HTC Sensation] vshun:
Ahh, slaps himself in the face:)

Indeed, GSM was in Mobile settings. Tried ten times to change to GSM/WCDMA and the setting always returned back to GSM and phone still showed Edge.

Today on eleventh attempt for some reason setting finally got saved and phone shows H (for HSPA+). Thanks!
[Quantum General] a1qwyx20:
Does anyone know if its possible to get hidden wireless networks added on the quantum...mine is missing the button to "ADD" a wireless network, it only lets me join those the phone sees. I have the newest version of mango, an update was made available from bell in canada recently.

Anyone have any news on this?
[Quantum General] droodls:
Don't think it exists on any version of the quantum but I could be wrong. Shows up as a plus sign on the advanced screen apparently.

[Quantum General] bobzero:
austrailian firmware here. I have the option to add a hidden wifi netowrk. haven't actually tested it.
[Quantum General] killerb255:
You have to have the Australian (Telstra) firmware for hidden WiFi (and Internet Sharing/WiFi tethering).

@bobzero: I've tested the hidden WiFi feature--works great!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyGoku:
Hi,

Sorry for my poor English, I'll do my best.

Yesterday I flashed my Xperia Arc S to the baseband 64. After that, i did a data wipe, cache and dalvik cache wipe with CWM. After that, I tried to install a cyanogenmod rom (I couldn't because my bootloader was locked, and I didn't know that). Then, I turned on my phone normally and I found some problems with my new clean android:

- I cannot lock my phone (If I press the home key it unlocks automatically)

- The home key only works to unlock the phone, it doesn't do anything else.

- I can't connect the phone to the computer, the PC doesn't recognise it. I just can enter with flash mode. I tried to flash to an older baseband and wiped all again, but I'm having the same problems.

Does anyone know how to solve that?

Thanks!

EDIT: I found another guy with the same problems with xperia neo V.

EDIT 2: Finally I could do a "reset" using PC Companion and now everything works well, but if you know what happened before please let me know ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillipsony:
You can use sony update service or flash a generic ROM .Search from google. It can help u to reset the phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyGoku:
That's what I did (PC Companion). Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twofourturbo:
I was very frustrated to find out that my new 2100 mA battery wouldn't allow my gNex to fit in my Incipio Case so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this but just trying to show everyone in hopes to get out the idea.

I noticed that the Factory cover was very close to closing over the extended battery but just wasn't enough. So I grabbed my Dremel and went to work on the factory cover. I assumed I would have to cut all the way through the cover to make it fit but I was able to make it work by making the cover paper thin..

Here's the video I posted on Youtube that I have created to explain everything.

http://youtu.be/q-Z1tiotZFg

If anyone has any questions please post and let me know. Hope this well help. Feel free to find me on Google+. Thanks guys. Hope this helps.

Here's a flashable zip to change your search button to shut screen off

For those that needs it and the lazy bastards that don't want to do it manually.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Nifty, I never use the search key so this may prove useful.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daluvamann:
Perfect. I never use that button as well... Wonder if that button can be mapped to wake up screen as well??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mecha2012:
That would be awesome but I think once the screen is off so does the soft keys as its an extension of the screen itself power wise atleast.

Screen on you can edit the soft keys to whatever you want

Screen off you're basically touching the screen when its off I.e nothing happens

It would be a different scenario if its a hard key;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Has anyone flashed this yet? I never got around to it while I was on GB and it's not working on ICS. I don't want to declare that it doesn't work at all if it's only some difference with ICS or something with the alpha.

It may, when I get home from work I plan to try to reverse engineer both mods and see if any of it makes sense to me and can modify the search button for screen off. So long as they can be opened in a text editor I should be able to figure something out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mecha2012:
The zip for the search button mod, modify the actual buttons mapped out to specific numbers when its pressed for example for default the search button is 217 followed by 2 functions specified to it in /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl

So when that button is pressed it is the value of 217 referencing what's defined in that file and yes its you can edit it with any editor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Cool, thanks. I mostly follow what you're saying, but I'm better if I see it or have an exact example.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
First off, I would like to say that I have been actively reading and searching the web for information on these topics and I have found many different sources and answers.

The reason why I am still starting a new threat about this is because I am completely new to the 'development'/modifying spectrum of my phone. And while many of the threats give accurate descriptions on how to root it or what to use, I still am left with many noobi blanks on this topic.

1. Rooting, what exactly are the benefits and what will be altered if I decide to root my device?

2. Is it worth it to root my phone? What's the major benefits and new things I will be able to do? And are there any problems or dangers I need to be aware of? (I've been using it for almost a year without doing so) Also, is there a way I could backup my current files and data and then place it back on the rooted device?

3. I've read about ways of rooting in which the kernel will be altered and about some in which it won't even be touched. So, what is the, let me put it bluntly, 'best' rooting technique/way to go with?

Thank you for any help possible on this topic!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you don't know why or don't even have an app that requires root then its not needed at all .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
Well that was one of my many blanks. I know many friends who rooted their phones, but not for what exactly besides having different themes or the 'toiletpaper' scrolling in the menue section.

What kind of apps require rooting then?

I do want to start 'playing' around with my phone a bit more to use it to it's full potential, including overclocking for instance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
No shame in asking this question. Before I rooted my phone I spent a few weeks lurking on this forum, and constantly asking a friend with a 'droid phone about what is it - eventually the true power comes to you when you root and see for yourself. But one of the rooting "landmarks" are

- backing and restoring your applications via Titanium Backup

- Undervolting/Underclocking or overclocking and tweaking your phone (therefore gaining some more battery life/performance)

- use of various plugins such as Chainfire3D + CF.Lumen (you can buy&play games not initially intended for S2 and improve your night time use with the latter)

- many more cool things that you will find out for yourself

hope it gave you a little insight about the power you unleash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
Thanks for the quick insight and info!

-So is there actually no way in the current unrooted state to do these backups? I've been looking around for quite a while now for backing up my phone's content. Besides Kies that doesn't even cover everything I've come up empty. And how I could back up my conversations for instance (if that is even possible), but I haven't found anything on that matter.

- This is one of the aspects I was most interested in, at first of course only for the overclocking aspect, but then I read about the battery saving as well. Is there an easy way to switch back and forth between running the phone overclocked and underclocked?

Yep it indeed did!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
No, you cannot back up app data without root.

If by conversations you mean your SMS, you CAN back up and restore SMS withOUT root using one of several apps. I use SMS Backup+; it backs SMS and MMS messages to your GMail account, and can restore SMS. It cannot restore MMS as of yet though.

You can use SetCPU to create profiles based on what state the phone is in, such as screen on/off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
It looks more and more like I will root my phone right away as soon as I get the chance to sit down and do it!!

Thanks for clarifying those questions!

Yes I did mean my SMS and MMS conversations. Downloading that app right away ;)

That sounds like an app I will definitely get then as soon as I get my phone rooted!

One last question for you though, do you happen to know what the 'dangers' are regarding phone/battery life when constantly switching CPU profiles?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Um, I said you DON'T need root for that app (SMS Backup+)....? Or were you talking about SetCPU? (which you DO need root)

There's always a danger when creating CPU profiles. Especially if you mess with the voltages assigned to each frequency. Just make sure you back your phone up before you mess with that stuff, so you have something to fall back to in case your tweaking causes the phone to not boot properly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
I was talking about getting the SMS Backup + right away, which I already did.

And about the SetCPU as soon as I get my phone rooted.

Alright, yes backups are always an important thing to do. So we are talking more of software dangers though (not booting up correctly, stuff messing up or not launching, crashes etc.) rather than any hardware damage that could be caused?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
Also, is there by any chance anyone who has a rooted Galaxy SII and can tell me some specific improvements about it compared to the unrooted version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Root won't improve anything on its own. Perhaps you should read some more about root and what it means before you go down this road.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
Oh now that I reread that I see what you mean. I am aware that the rooting it's self will not improve/worsen the performance of the phone or anything else.

I more meant what kind of improvements can be made as soon as the device is rooted. Eg. the CPU tweaks and additional energy consumption differences and applications that can be run on the rooted device etc. and how these compare to the possibilites that one has with the stock phone.

Sorry for the confusion!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There are far too many variables involved to give you an idea of the things you're asking. These will depend on the kernel you use, how you use the phone, how you set it up, under/overclocking/volting, and a bunch of other things.

You're only going to find out by actually doing.

But in saying that, I would advise against anything until you understand exactly what it is you want to do & how to do it. Doing so could save at least a few days trying to figure out how to fix a soft bricked phone, or ending up with a 130-odd gram paperweight at worst.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anguscmac:
Hi, I've read this thread with interest, as when I got my sgs2 I didn't know that rooting was even possible! Another guy on my office got the same phone though, and asked if I was planning on rooting my phone. I guess I first did it with my eyes pretty well closed, but was lucky that everything went well.

One thing I would say is that I get much better battery life as there is endless scope for changing roms and kernels until you are happy. I've now upgraded to XXLPB on Simplistic Rom and am really happy. Great battery life and smooth performance, so no complaints. If I were you I would go for it, but make sure you do your research first!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr__KJ:
Thanks, you saying that helps me to see the many different ways in which I will be able to customize my phone if i root it.

Of course, I will not risk getting such an expensive paper weight! haha

You've got me convinced ;) Rooting as soon as I get desktop access!!

Wow that sounds amazing! I'm looking forward to playing around with the different ROM's and kernels

Thank you everybody for the quick help in finding ways to root my phone and helping me answer all my questions so thoroughly!!:)

So I was trying to install a new bootanimation (Droid Destroys Apple) and removed my old one. But I wasn't able to copy the new one over (It's 25mb, and that's all the space left on /system)

SO when I boot my phone now, I get a glowing "android" in a shiny font, not the default Motorola blooming logo. So what gives, where is it getting this?

Also tried moving a bunch of apps to my SD card, but still can't get anymore space on /system.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre4speed:
Did you download the animation directly to your phone or transfer from computer? I ask because when I downloaded the exact same animation directly to my phone, I got what you're describing, but when I downloaded to my computer then copied to internal memory, it was correct. Worth a shot.

I had problems with a ROM before which left a smaller than I would have liked /system size after flashing. I forget which it was now. All you can do is try to clear out any "uneeded" files in /system to give you enough space.
