[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlarsendk:
Hello everyone

I have recently tried out the ics rom i found here on xda and now i want to flash back to the stock rom and followed intrantechs guide

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)

but since his multiupload links are dead i found my firmware on samfirmware.com

I9100XWKI8_I9100OXXKI2_NEE (nordic countries) which is the firmware i had before ics.

The problems is, that after i flash the phone i get 2 errors during the setup guide.

Both these processes keep shutting down unexpectedly which means i cant do the setup guide.

process com.wssyncmldm

process com.google.process.gapps

have i done anything wrong during the flash or is these common errors which is easy to fix?

i hope you can help me out here

*EDIT*

the ics update had both PDA, Phone and CSC file but the stock rom only have a file for PDA

where can i find stock csc and phone files?

Just want to post what i did about this very same problem. I just went to recovery mode (volume up + home + power) then wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot system now and everything went fine again.

had same issue, your tip worked like a charm. thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samcory:
Please can anyone help, I follwed the instructions in this months PC Pro to ROOT and load CyanogenMod, well it did not work.

I was able to restore as I had backed up and everything is working again as before, except that when the phone boots up there is a YELLOW Triange with an exclamation mark in the middle.

I turned on debug mode and the booted the s2 in download mode and coonected the USB cable and the ran superoneclick.exe as before except I selected UNROOT but the program now just hangs.

Please help

Thanks

so i have seen, this rom look lilke iOS =.=

sorry for OT =.=

Phiexz can u port miui ROM to our GIO =.=
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mafiapanda:
Update please:o?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
I'm not sure if one of us can port MIUI to Gio. Because if you are porting from official, you are porting from an Armv7 Device. The best way is to build from source :)

Not sure how kssood ported MIUI GB to his LG OP (Armv6 like our Gio) but he did it :D

My friend as Sensation 4G ... is this support all sensation Roms from the development thread?

Can I flash Roms from sensation developmnt?
[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
Yup, this is the forum for the Sensation 4G. :) I have the same phone.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
The signal on this phone is way worse than my old Motorola Milestone. The only time I see green for cell signal in "battery use" is when I'm outside, whereas on the Droid it was almost always solid green. I'm never out of signal but I understand that the better the signal, the less battery use by the radio.

I found a thread in the Incredible S section and a video on youtube that tried to make the antenna in the cover better by sticking aluminum foil onto the back, extending from the pins on the cover.

To test, I first tried taking off the cover (lost signal) and putting 2 thin strips of aluminum directly on the contact pins on the phone to see if I could get signal without the cover. It worked.

I then built 2 random network of strips extending the pins on the cover (without touching the other pin's extension network) and sticking them down with tape. I made contact between the aluminum foil and the pins, and with itself always non-shiney to non-shiney side. I think the shiny side might be coated with something that isn't conductive.

Now the cover is back on but I'm not sure it's making any difference. Still -87db to -97db while holding the phone in the house.

Has anyone else tried this? I might try thin copper wire next.

Any wisdom on how the stock back cover works as an antenna? Isn't it plastic? Is it just the small gold pins?

Let's build a better antenna
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
I'm not very good but I agree with you the signal are very week

In my house I get 1 bar of signal whereas if just step one foot out of my house the signal bar goes full
[HTC Sensation] go2net:
You can make one new antenna, but you must remove old one, or else, your new one can not work as you expected. I think original one should not worse than some standard, so flash a new radio package should have some improve one this problem. I have GPS signal weak problem some months ago, but after I flash latest radio package, GPS can be locked within several minutes without a valid data connection. Before that time, my GPS can not be locked within ten minutes.
[HTC Sensation] sparx180:
Take a look over at the HTC Titan forums, there were a few guys over there looking into signal problems and they had all sorts of ideas while I had a Titan. The titan is pretty much a sensation xl with wp7 and the titan, xl and our sensations antennae all work in the same way with the contacts on the phone and battery cover. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Thanks, I'll try a search there. Do you remember anything working?

I'm interested to know how the stock antenna/battery cover works first. That'll help me understand how we could improve it.
[HTC Sensation] sparx180:
They were using copper strips on the outside of the case that worked but obviously was ugly. But last time I checked they were looking into scraping away the top layer of oxidized contacts to get a better contact with the phone. But Titan mobile signal and WiFi signal is waay worse than sensation. Mine was so bad I sold mine and got my XE so I'm sure someone over there could fill you in or you could find something worth experimenting with.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Awesome!!! Thanks bud. I'm gonna bust out the multimeter.

So the antenna is basically some copper inside the cover connecting two adjacent pins? I assume just connecting them straight isn't the best antenna (or else they would have just done that on the phone). [EDIT: Ah, for the other two antennas, they are indeed linked with a straight piece of copper. The GSM antenna is two small contacts that I assume are somehow linked through the inside of the cover] Is this connection actually long (distance) within the cover?

Also, what are those "extensive modifications" that would actually create a big difference? I bought my phone second hand so I don't think I have warranty (or do I?). Is it building a traditional ground + hot wire antenna?
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Ok, here is what I found. I'm pretty sure I used the multimeter correctly. Didn't have a continuity setting per se, but there was one in the resistance category that had an arrow pointing to a plus and it worked like in example 1 here.

What I found on the cover, is pretty much what we expected.

What I found on the phone is kind of surprising: each pair is connected to itself. Each pin is connected to the ground already as well, EXCEPT for 1 near the top.

Thoughts on how the ground loop is generated and what to try bridging with copper foil next?
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
I'm sorry I've got nothing useful to input in this but a guy on here before was suggesting to create a fractal antenna? something that maximizes the area of the back cover. I googled it a bit and though it was a good idea but I totally have no ideas about how to do such.
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
You can get stickers that you stick inside your back cover that are supposed to improve the signal. I've read mixed reviews as to whether this actually works...

http://www.phoneaccessoriesuk.co.uk/htc-sensation/268-htc-sensation-signal-booster.html
[HTC Sensation] motoi_bogdan:
fractal antennas are better in the respect that they minimize the space requirements for antenna modules inside the phone. However, that's not diy stuff :p

One could try to reproduce the design with various house hold items but at this scale, when talking efficiency a simple copper plate would outperform any household fractal antenna system.

In general, although there are phones with fractal antennas, they are more efficient in higher wavelengths (lower frequencies). For example,you may have seen frigate class military vessels at sea. They have some tall 6-7 meters antennas (not the radar dishes, or "tv antenna like" yagi ones) that look like a simple rod or an extended version of your car's fm radio. They use fractal designs, and what you see as the "antenna tube" is only the flexible, weather proof casing of the actual fractal antenna inside. But they operate on a different band/wavelength.

@chrisw99 those things are actually what i was talking when suggesting my second example for antenna design. The phone's antenna acts like the bigger plate in that example and these stickers do the job of the smaller plate. Actually in theory they should work but because of the fact each phone has a slightly different antenna or placement for the RF module and these stickers try to be the "one size fits all" type, in reality your mileage may vary.
[HTC Sensation] chinstrap:
While I like the idea of building a better antenna (I’m going fiddle w/ this tonight after work), this phone has had much better signal, GPS and Wi-Fi then my Nexus 1 could ever dream of having. GPS is instantaneous on|off (N1 would stay on for up to a min after app close), Wi-Fi connects immediately (N1 would show connection but lag before my icon turned green). I have been VERY happy w/ all aspects if it’s signal.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Ahhh, great info to wake up to haha.

The GSM pins, I forgot to mention, are definitely the bottom ones.

I agree, the wifi has great reception (except when touched; very top pins). Is the wifi antenna still propogating through the cover? Or is it just the little strip of contact?
[HTC Sensation] motoi_bogdan:
normally wifi antenna should be linked to a small copper foil inside 2 layers of the battery cover. That cover seems to be made out of about 2-3-4 layers of plastic, glued together in some way. One thing i never understood, why the holes in the housing?.

If i remember well, when i had the sensation i was most impressed with the gps performance. That was above any other phone i used before. Wifi performance was not that good, especially when browsing in landscape and covering the antenna with one hand. I also had one hd2 and gsm performance was kind of worse in low carrier coverage areas. Things like hd2 having 1-2 lines of signal indicator, sensation - none.

The wireless performance of the sensation is kind of mixed, some people compaining some never having any problems.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
What do you think about rewiring the antennas to switch the wifi and GSM? I.e., cover up the contacts and run wires to the other antenna from the now covered original contact points.

P.s. keeping the phone in 2G mode gives me substantially better signal (ex. -69db instead of -83db).

The only reason I want to improve the signal is for battery use for the radio. I haven't actually had no signal anywhere I've gone...yet. Am I correct in thinking more power is given to the radio under "low" signal conditions though?
[HTC Sensation] motoi_bogdan:
yes, that is correct. Under poor signal, the phone's tranceiver will require more power to operate. The amplifier stage inside the transceiver will need to increase it's overall gain in order to compensate, that uses more power. However, in modern phones we're talking about 1-2mA (max. 3mA) variations in stand by. That's rather small, if we also take notice of the fact that even so, the phone won't draw 2-3mA extra all the time, only when updating it's status with the corresponding GSM cell in your area (that's why they call it "cellular network"). On older phones (i mean really old) yes, that used to be a problem since individual GSM antennas were further apart from each other, phones back then needed to have stronger transceivers inside, that were able to cope with the increased distance. A small fact: the miniaturization of phones today was possible not primarily because of evolution of electronic stuffs that go inside a phone, but because carriers upgraded their networks and newer phones didn't need powerful RF transceivers inside - along with with all their required circuitry. The second most important thing is the development of high performance li-ion / polymer cells and only at third place, the evolutions in cpu/mcu or other highly intergrated circuits that now equip even the most basic phones. Since the bulky old transceivers were gone, we had a lot of space inside to put new things like cameras or bluetooth/wlan transceivers.

About switching gsm with wlan, first of all you must test how big is the improvement. Don't switch it yet, instead place a larger copper aluminum plate for the gsm antenna and check out if it improves things. If you find out that a 0.5 meter plate improves signal reception by only 20%.. well i don't think it will be relevant at the small scale, when you switch the antennas.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Really? Only 2-3mA draw difference between perfect and low signal? I might be mistaken but I remember my old phone's battery draining quicker under low signal.

I'm going to try aluminum first, that's all I have. Does it matter how long the connecting wires are?

P.s. my signal goes down considerably during a call. -69 to -90db! Just tested outside in my backyard.
