[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
Ok here is the reason I have ask and posted this thread.

My GSIi for the past 2 months has been nothing but probs and I am having no end of data disconnections from it, this means 3G data. For eg when I am on the internet on the top of the screen I will have a 3G and two small arrows (orange and green ) data in and out arrows, after 5 mins or so I would get cut off, wait for 1 minute or so and it will re connect, use it for another 3 mins and it will again cut off, wait again for say 5 mins and it will come back on. It fluctuates on and off.

At one time in a span of 15 mins I got cut off about 5 times just on and off.

this has become very annoying for me and I dont know if this is caused by the Vodafone network or there is a fault with my mobile, I just hope that my phone is not faulty at all.

Hopefully the firmware update should resolve your issue,

I dont know it might be a Hardware issue also....cos one of the best Modem is running in your current firmware KE7....which controlls the 3g and all, along with My latest firmware also running the same modem

Is your phone rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
No not rooted just normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
dammm this is getting confusing, I looked at the sammmobile link you sent, on the top under Oceania one says Australia Optus and the other says Australia, I am now assuming mine is the Australia one as my phone is not a Optus one but juts a unbranded galaxy sII hasnt got any carrier stuff on it.

This one

I9100XWKK2 ##	2.3.6	2011 December	I9100XSAKK1	Australia

But my model is under Baseband version is I9100XXKE7
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
Just try changing the area of reception, in your town...may be the service providers problem...

Are you willing to root your phone and try custom roms?

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Yes the Baseband KE7 is older which will be replaced by KI4 which also one of very nice basebands...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
1. How do I change the area of reception ?

2. No not ready to root the phone as yet

But am very annoyed about this prob, I miight even call my service provider and discuss this with them.

Like I said I dont know if this is a fault with my phone or the network.

And also does the Firmware update fix this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
K14 nice as in what sense ?

Do you know what it offers etc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
That suggests a network problem .

That may be the network itself or a dodgy sim card or even the phone did not originate in the area of operation and is using a different areas modem or CSC .

Personal choice would be to first contact the network

Second to back up data and factory reset .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
Ok now my other Q here is, how easy is it to use KIES.

Do I just click the Update button and let it do the update firmware by itself and how will I know when the update is finished etc.

I just dont want to ruin my mobile thats all.

Now the other thing is will the screen time out affect this update or the update, this means after 1 minute the screen times out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Best modem for Voda AU is KJ1. I've not seen an Odin flashable version, plenty of CWM flashable versions floating around on here (Google search with XDA appended to your search terms). Obviously you need a rooted phone w/CWRecovery in order to flash this modem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
I don’t know about your case, but normally I felt the signal strength and steadiness varies by the area/tower, when I am in office I get strong signal and at home very week and broken.

If you made sure it is not the issue of service provider and you are not ready to root your phone, then there none other option left but trying software update through KEIS, still the problem remains check your device hardware…..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
Ok thanks alot for your reply, to answer your questions:

1. It could be a Network problem, but are others using the same phone as me having this

issue, i honestly dont know ?

2. can a dodgy sim card cause this problem I did look at the SIm and its not broken or

badly scratched etc, looks ok to me.

3. I got this phone here in Australia brand new from Crazy Johns who use the VF network.

4. Funny thing is this problem has only occured within the past 2 if not bit more 3 months or so, when I got the phone new it was ok, so the big Q here is, is it the phone or netowkr and if network can the issue be fixed ?

5 done a factory reset , no luck sorry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
yourself have to answer all.....

try the only option left...

If there is still Warrantee valid, the reason why you are not rooting the phone (might be), why dont you approch seller with warrantee card...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
I wll contact my service provider tomorow and see what can be done.

Also do you think I should update the firmware ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
But I dont know how to do this, can it be done, re putting the original firmware back on.

Also would it be worth to update to the latest one ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
My question here is:

1. Try and update to the latest firmware the K14 one (baseband) or revert back to the original firmware.

2. I had always thought when you buy a phone and you update the firmware thats it, you cannot go back to the original one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Flash branded rom of an earlier version via Odin , likewise a stock rom of an earlier version via Odin .

Flash a different modem without firmware by Odin or CWM upgrade or downgrade version of modem .

jje

.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
Ok I am using KIES to flash.

And I dont know what is my earlier version re the firmware.

I know my current version is:

Current Firmware Version: PDA:KF3/PHONE:KE7/CSC:KE3 (XSA)

But when I coonect to KIES it tells me that the latest firmware is;

Latest Firmware Version: PDAKK2/PHONE:K14/CSCKK1 (XSA)

I just hope the latest one is good on battery life and not crap.

I'm not sure if that's a ROM specific issue or ICS in general, but is it no longer possible to disable text prediction for the standard keyboard? The option is there and checked, but greyed out..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibrae:
// Quick note to modos, yes, I did search extensively, I found many posts saying it doesn't work.. //

I use a french (yes, sorry, I'm french and I'm not named Dujardin) version of the ee pad. And of course I got the dock as well, with an Azerty keyboard (stupid frogs could not use qwerty like everybody else).

I've tried EOS ICS build, and there is no Asus Keyboard, so I'm stuck to remembering A will bring Q and Q will bring A.

Is there an ICS rom build with a working multilanguage dock keyboard ? Or some tweak I can apply to my current EOS build?

Nope

Hi,

Sorry but this guide refers to android 3.x, not ICS. ;-)

Furthermore, the question points that EOS rom lacks the azerty keyboard. This does not solves the problem out of the box, since this rom does not contain the original asus (soft) keyboard at all.

But, it is still relevant since extracting the file qwerty-xx_XX.kcm from some backup would enable to perform the same operation. ;-)

Otherwise, I assume that any rom having the "asus keyboard" would have the correct layout.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orome70:
Nope

Currently, I didn't manage to get the "guide" work with ICS using the keychar from Honeycomb.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlan96:
I usually record videos using my Galaxy Nexus in 720p mode, because 1080p takes up a huge space and my internet is too slow for it..

When I play back the videos that I recorded, it looks so beautiful on the galaxy nexus. But when its on youtube (directly uploaded from the phone), my god! The quality is crap!

Here is the video

http://youtu.be/588xh372ZvU?hd=1 (Uploaded Directly from the YouTube app via WiFi)

http://youtu.be/RbgYReOEoO4?hd=1 (Uploaded from a computer to YouTube.com)

I have done absolutely NO edits or compressions on these videos, and they still looks pixelated! I think even my old HTC HD2 480p camera is better than this..

What can I do (except for going into 1080p mode) to make my video quality better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Looks fine to me.

Try to stop zooming in and don't make many sudden movements as those cause it to have to focus again.

Also, it is always possible that YouTube is just decreasing the quality so...ya.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlan96:
It looks so pixelated to me.. But on my other device that records 720p, it records way lot better than this..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
There is way too much movement on both videos. I don't any camera phone could do better under those circumstances.

As a test, take another video without so much movement on the camera end and see if your quality improves.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
That does not look like 720p to me, movement or not. Strange??? Take on in 1080p and upload it so we can see how it looks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassaan123:
Recovery is where through which you flash the rom, scripts etc. Cwm is a recovery. Kernel is a different thing. Semaphore, glitch, midnight, hardcore are the kernels
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
The Kernel is the main component of Linux / Android. It controls memory/processor management, and most of the low-level computing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
Are you sure you want to create a ROM if you don't know what the kernel is? :confused::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurre:
Who's saying he wants to make a rom? He's just asking what's a kernel, so he could contact the dev..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
The kernel is the base of the whole operating system, well you could say it is the OS; everything you do on your phone depends on the kernel. As on a real computer, some sort of bootloader initializes lowest level hardware (BIOS or EFI on PC) and then this bootloader starts the kernel. Every driver for your peripherals is integrated into this kernel or made available for this specifically kernel version as a module. Then the kernel executes lots of scripts to start services, get up your network interfaces, triggers them to get DHCP addresses and so on. Does that help you?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurre:
Oh. Then I'll must stand corrected :rolleyes: but for sure these kind of questions are easily answered via google..and kernel is such a important part of OS, so it isn't easy to explain it thoroughly in a forum. But if you're only making a rom, then you probably have enough basic information right here.. ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
U started ur OP with "What is a kernel?, is CWM recovery a kernel?" , and that actually shows that it's not only that u don't know what a kernel is, u're also not sure what a recovery is. Now, i don't mean to hate or sound rude, but i'd have to agree with wintel. U're younger than most of the guys here, u still lack some basic knowledge, take ur time, read and learn stuff, it's nice that u're enthusiastic about it, but maybe it's better if u would reconsider publishing a rom yet, i kinda doubt u can bring in something new. Take ur time and work on ur knowledge ;) consider this as a friendly advice rather than a diss or anything similar :)

I know that CWM recovery is not a kernel but recovery.. But I just wasn't sure about it because I use Galaxy S Plus configurator and CWM recovery is under "kernels".

Hi,

If I check in fastboot I get CID 11111111 which I set myself during the setup of a custom ROM.

If I check with CID Getter application I get HTC__E11 my original CID.

Which one should I trust?

Also, anybody know if having a super CID would void the warranty? have to return my phone for repair so cleaning it up. All is different now is the CID.

Thanks a lot for your help!
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
I would trust the one that you get it fastboot as the one you get from CID getter is the one that is in the build.prop of your ROM.

S-OFFing would void your warranty. You need S-OFF to set SuperCID so there. Connect the dots :p
[HTC Sensation] saf_ro:
thanks!

Guess that's a typo and you meant S-OFF voids the warranty. You are right, if I can connect the dots they can do it as well would they check the CID :)

Need to find a way to change the CID back. Does not allow me to S-off now with revolutionary coz I think I use a too recent RUU (saw some related threads). Will try with an older RUU version.

Cheers,
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
YES! I meant S-OFF. That was embarrassing :p

I think you can just write CID just like how you SuperCID'd but writing proper CID instead of 11111111. I haven't done it myself so I can't help you there.

Just go to viper's thread here. He has instructions for S-ONing

[HTC Sensation] saf_ro:
yep, already got it working.

I guess in my case the writecid was not working because I was back to S-ON and no root anymore :)

So, I flashed again the 1.50.401.1 ROM WITHOUT accepting the update, S-off, root, change the CID, flash the 1.50.401.1 again, change back to S-ON with the writesecureflag 3. Device can go now to repair.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btotaku:
If you consider that ICS is announced to be released in March I would suggest to wait until the official ICS ROM is released. If you are eager to try ICS there are several CustomROMs based on leaked ICS Firmware - see Android Dev Section

On the other hand there is the possibility to use themes that give you more or less an impression how ICS would look like - for example ICE CREAM SANDWICH DOMINATION. For more details on themes check the Themes & Apps section.

Hope you find something you like...

Hi there,

I think that alot is down to personal preferences. Personally I am not a fan of ICS themes on Gingerbread.

The best ROM for 100% ICS experience IMO is imilka's ASOP. Pure ICS. I love it but it's too buggy.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1516515

I think it worth a play to see what ICS is like.

I have retraced back to this setup, Stable ICS ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1509703

It's Touch Wiz themed but you can just install the Nova Launcher from market to give you a ICS home screen which is a enhanced version of the ICS stock launcher. Most importantly it's bug free.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasseno:
i think you can achieve a faux ICS look by downloading some alternate launchers in the market (like go launcher pro), and download the appropriate ICS theme.

i mean, you don't have to necessarily "flash" a custom rom to achieve the same look.

IMO.

now if you want ICS feel, the best option is flashing a custom rom. There are plenty of custom roms here, so feel free to try (just follow the instructions carefully).

Personally i recommend criskelo rom, but i'm currently on midnote v2.0, using ICS rom.
