[Blade General] Kannibalism:
hmm ok i will help you out a bit after trying a lot of different roms available for the blade including ones not available on these forums since they are only Chinese based (im not chinese i just like to try out there roms).

Overclocking will not damage your phone mate because if you overclock your phone to a limit which is not supported by your phone it will simply reboot and put back the normal CPU settings for your phone to work in a proper manner (Do not tick set CPU settings in boot).

GPU overclocking is nothing to worry about because the GPU will overclock when you overclock the CPU (3D games experience on the ZTE Blade has improved)

As for other saying they find cyanogen mod 7 slow i do not know what version they flashed but i prefer to use CM7 Kangs developed by BurgerZ & Kernel developed by wbaw (both extremely talented devs).

The reason others may find CM7 slow is because they use ADW Launcher (free) by default but burgerz uses stock gingerbread launcher.

if you dont want to use CM7 my second fav rom for performance would be Swedish Snow

@ruckus92

i tried the rom when it was updated last, it was not bad neither good as the libs it uses need updating nowadays.
[Blade General] cowscrubber:
CyanogenMod is pretty bloated, but some kangs are not as bloated.

I find that Burstlam's kangs are pretty light and fast. I guess he must have gotten used to developing for Chinese blades (they only have 256 mb of ram)

You can find his latest build here.

I have tried the stock-based roms but didn't notice any major difference between them and Burstlam's rom.

And like Kannibalism said, ADW Launcher

free

is slow as heck. I suggest you switch to ADW Launcher

EX

, or a different launcher the next time you try a cyanogenmod rom.

download and flash that mate it contains the latest libs for the blades adreno 200 GPU it does improve performance
[Blade General] karthiknr:
Can't this guy flash wbaw's flashable kernel over GSF? It should work right?
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
After updating the libs and trying burstlam and burgerZ 's Kangs with wbaw's kernel i am really satisfied even though i lost the stock feel.. Thanks a lot guys :)

@karthiknr is that really possible? Could you confirm? I'm not very experienced with flashing so i dont want to do something wrong..Thanks :)
[Blade General] saaransh9:
it seems to be working for swedish snow which is based on official 2.3.5 so it might even work for gsf
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
So should i try it?
[Blade General] saaransh9:
Yes do make a backup
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
i think he should be able to flash the kernel with GSF but its best to take a backup first mate
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
Okay guys problem..Its stuck at the screen before the boot animation.. What do i do now? How do i restore the backup that i just made..? Am i in some sort of trouble?
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
nope no trouble mate :P just restore your backup

follow these steps:

1) take out the battery to turn off the phone

2) power on the phone holding the power button + volume down button (keep holding do not let go of these two buttons till cwm boots)

3) Clockwork recovery will boot up

4) select backup & restore

5) select the backup you want to use

6) wait for it to restore your data could take a few mins

thats all mate
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
Ah i was scared to death hehe thanks :) my phone's working fine now stable fast and smooth :) And what about squadzone's unofficial cm7.2 rc5.6 is that the latest kang?
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
To be honest with you i am currently running BurgerZ latest kang + wbaws kernel + the new libs for the adreno GPU my phone is running smooth with these
[Blade General] wbaw:
CM7 is pretty bloated? But Burstlam adds some stuff & his kang is 'light'?
[Blade General] karthiknr:
I second this question.;) If he flashed the 7.1 stable,the 16 bit transparency option would've been disabled by default right so maybe he feels its due to this.
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
this never crossed my mind before. maybe this is the reason we still see the same comments over and over that cm7 is bloated because users still download the stable release that is available from cyanogen
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
@wbaw Hello sir i am very very impressed by all your work and i just have one question as to why your kernel works on all cm7 roms but not GSF? Thank you . :)
[Blade General] cowscrubber:
I guess I used the wrong words... I'm a noob

Bottom line is that someone said that CM is bloated and slow. I didn't want to disagree with him, so I just said that I'm using Burstlam's rom and don't find it slow.

i have this Korean Galaxy S2

few questions to ask the experts ...

1: am i on the latest Stock Korean Firmware ? 2: can i flash any official/stock Firmware of GT-i9100 using Odin ? like using the .pit file then the PDA then the phone and modem ... all together 4 files ? 3: after that ... can i ROOT my phone normally ? i mean like standard procedure ? i mean using Odin or other methods like superoneclick or CWM etc ?

if i flash stock firmware of GT-i9100 via Odin ... and root it ... do i still face that boot loop problem ? and then have to install the original stock korean KERNEL ??

since there is no chance that i would be using my phone in korea .. so is it fine to have a stock firmware of i9100 ??

and after root .. can i install KERNELs of my own choice .. for e.g semaphone , speedmod , galaxian etc etc ???

Guys,

My Samsung galaxy R got Dead. when i approached the service center, They informed me that they will take back the cell. I will get full refund.

FYI my cell was completely Dead.

The same happened with one of my friiend
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
I asked the guys at service center and they told me there's no problem in the availability of spare components or motherboards for Galaxy R.

I don't know why this is happening with some of the guys on this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Prankey:
They are being absolutely foolish and must have got through insane loss due to HORRIBLE stock India firmware and must have replaced motherboards of 100% of the units coming for repair as they can not officially install other country firmware and no other firmware is available for India!

Imagine the kind of losses they have gone through just because they had a buggy firmware! I don't understand why the dev team who developed such firmware wasn't fired immediately and a new firmware written or the other country firmware ported to India.

I can't do anything other than pulling my hair seeing such a silly situation when they stopped selling these phones and later offering refund when you go with a dead phone which again could well be due to the horrible firmware slowly eating the phone through continuous freeze/reboot cycles.

TERRIBLE!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amar1548:
how much refund they offer u to give...........
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
So do you think this is because of INDIAN firmware, if we flash I9103ZSKK5 (2.3.6) which is non INDIAN firmware we can save our mobile from these kind of issues..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
It has nothing to do with firmware , but probably the tegra .

Herpderp Defy.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
The problem I think is not in Tegra otherwise many other handsets using Tegra would also face similar issues.

The problem could be due to a faulty batch of Galaxy R s manufactured from the Samsung plant itself. And that batch could have been unfortunately destined for India.

Not every handset in India has these problems, so I think only a faulty batch is the culprit, as not everyone is facing the issues.

If everyone in every handset had been facing these issues then the model would have been taken off the market. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
i am also assuming the same i found in so many blogs mainly INDIAN handsets are only getting problems which are released in 2012..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coolcorner:
Had you guys rooted your phones? Had customer ROM/Kernel's installed? Wonder if the either of these have made the phone die, or wonder if its the hardware batch?!! Hmm?!!! What was the date on the box?

Also, if you had rooted it and had custom ROM, Samsung guys agreed for the refund??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
+1 cooleagle..

imo its got nothing to do with faulty rom or faulty processor.. just that that piece was a faulty h/w piece..

i never had a single reboot or freeze with my indian rom.. but i am currently at infected v1..:-)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coolcorner:
Yeah probably faulty hardware. Its good that they are getting the full refund. But, when in such a situation and you have installed different ROM/Firmware/kernel and your phone does not even boot up. You don't have option to even restore back. So, was asking guys whether they had rooted the phones and still they are getting the refund as Sammy guys also had no way to check it up?!!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] king901412:
I want to know if the Galaxy R is root,

and the phone hardware is broken,

Samsung service center will repair the phone in the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sshinde555:
Some Body pls reply on this query......
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 3 Doors Down:
My phone freezes every other day, Touchscreen does not respond, My screen weirds up and selects **** on its own, I cant hear a person on the other side sometimes when I call...I have to reboot it to get it solved. Is the firmware faulty, or is it a hardware problem. Please revert back. I have been trying to adjust with these problems for the past 4 months hoping for a firmware update. Help me, Should I go to the service centre and ask for a replacement. And yes I have not rooted it with any ROM's it is as stock as it can get.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nightmareweaver:
I suggest stick with the phone for a month or so.Even I face problems with my phone occasionally.The ICS update is expected within a month which I feel will solve the bugs which have been affecting our phone.If you are still not satisfied after the update then you can think of asking for a replacement/refund
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 3 Doors Down:
That was quick! But then, correct me if I am wrong the warranty is for 6 months?

And I am not sure if we are going to be updated it with ICS in 2 months.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nightmareweaver:
As far as I understand the warranty on the battery and accessories is for 6 months,the handset itself is secure for 1 year.So no worries there.And the ICS update is expected within the next 1.5 months.

The point is if the bugs are to such an extent that they are really hampering your everyday usage then you should get it replaced soon. In my case I need to restart my phone probably once a day and it really doesnt affect me that much
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 3 Doors Down:
I hope they come up with a update soon enough. They don't even have the courtesy to come up with a 2.3.6 update to fix these bugs.

It is quite annoying when i have to reboot my phone. It takes a while to reboot.

Anyways, Thanks and Cheers bud!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
No such problem faced by me.

My touchscreen was giving some issues and stopped responding altogether in a particular region, so i went in to the service center and my Galaxy R was repaired in about 30 mins. The whole LCD unit was changed.

And no such problems (reboots, hanging of phone) have been faced by me! I am on stock Indian firmware 2.3.5 (Latest here) and i have only rooted it, no custom kernel for me.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Wow 30 mins ? Where do you live man ?

I had to be seated there for about 30 mins for my no. to be called... :(

Maybe you had gone at non-peak hours ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
You are way too lucky dude. I have been having these random reboots for 10 days now. I have tried EVERYTHING on my part to try and rectify it. Now I've given up. Must be a hardware problem only. It shutsdown whenever there is low signal or fluctuation in signal. :confused:

I'm going to take it to service center and from what i heard Galaxy R is discontinued so they will not have spare parts mostly and I will not get replacement. Only refund.

Sucks man, I loved my phone while i used it for 2 months - It was awesome. Tried different ROM's Kernels Firmwares everything. And then this problem comes up. Now its all gonna go back to Samsung. :(:(:( Adios Galaxy R.......:rolleyes::(

Did you get a refund and how much that compared to bill receipt?

About my Phone

My Galaxy R had some problems like black screen, Phone mic/speaker got dead while attending call......

so i updated to 2.3.6 Taiwan... now its works like charm.... no problem yet.. so my conclusion is INDIAN firmware 2.3.4 is ultra buggy.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
When I purchased Galaxy R, I got 2.3.5 OS but it still have same problem of random restarts. Not sure if all the people who updated from India stock ROM to Taiwan stock ROM are happy.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dilipd1:
No problems with my handset
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Cloudus91:
Hi guys.

I'm owner of the Motorola Atrix and I'm sure that this is a Tegra's 2 problem.

Simply because LG Optimus 2x,Atrix4G and Galaxy R have the same problems.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ofabhishek:
bought my Galaxy R back in December... till date no single issue faced

just before few days i rooted it....as earlier its working flawlessly
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Prankey:
Dude, you will get full refund if you go for it due to VALID reason. There is no question of any deduction and its written on the warranty card you have got and probably forgotten about!

And why do you think so? I believe we all are happy. Indian ROM is UNUSABLE and that is the reason Samsung is so forthcoming to recall the phones and refund instead of simply porting Taiwan 2.3.6 ROM and save from this disgrace. Tells well how these folks at Samsung India eating fat salaries instead of doing their homework!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
Prankey,

I too got restart issue. Gave it to service center and they are going to replace some part. Waiting few more days as they are calling that part from some other location and will fix and give back me my phone.

Just want to know what people have to say on Taiwan ROM. If updating to different ROM solves the issue then customer care should do that officially or provide new update from Taiwan ROM instead to go for some h/w part change.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
If your phone has power issues, then in all probability it is a hardware issue. Nothing to do with Tegra chipset, in the service center - I have seen users with S2 and Note having the same problem. Its due to a short circuit caused by some faulty components.. Nothing to do with ROMs. Although I agree that Indian ROM has a few software bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ofabhishek:
do not agree... for me its working smoothly since i purchased it...

----

btw, which official ROM do you guys think is most stable/usable ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Can Some one explain that, Random Shutdown is a software bug or Hardware Fault.

Because,

People say here that, shifting to Taiwan Rom solves the issue. which means its a software issue.

People have given the phone to SSC, and replaced motherboard which resolved the issue. which it means its a hardware fault.

I personally had the issue and gt it repaired by SSC.(By Motherboard Replacement) and till date i don't have any issue.

So can anyone narrow the root cause as a software or a hardware bug....????:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Reflash stock firmware via ODIN, it will remove all traced of just about anything you have done to your phone (except for your download counter, which shouldn't be an issue in your case as you are on stock ROM only).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Check this things before giving ur phone is service.

1. Make sure u have official stock rom with stock kernel (in case u have rooted ur phone simply flash the official rom package. U can use checkfus to download stock packages)

2. Your download counter must be 0. To check enter download mode and see custom binary count.

U can use usb jig to reset download counter

Don't worry you can get rid of these problems by flashing ZSLE6 ROM because i am using it and i have never faced these problems...

If you don't want to install it take it to Samsung Service Center they will re install the stock ROM and check it, if you still face these problems they will replace the motherboard..

How to get Refund of Samsung Galaxy R??

Hi man, I am facing the same problem with my phone. Firstly I has bought it in Jan 2012 so jst aftr a month its Mother Board got damaged, When I went to customer Care she said its because of over charging. Aftr getting it repaired the phone still shows persistent issues It starts hanging, touch pad doesnt work, constantly keeps vibrating & wont stop till d battery is removed & den re-fitted. only after that it'll start properly.

Now, yesterday night it was working but today wen I woke up it was switched off & its not turning on. I charged it for half an hour but its dead it seems. have the phone in warranty period. Can u tell me how did u return the device/phone???
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Samsung will not refund you the amount they will change the Mother Board and give it back and we are not facing these problem what you are telling so something is related to H/W better you take it to SSC.....

Once they replace the mother board and if you still facing these kind of issues just report the issues to SSC manger...
