[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
they can't.

bootanimation does not equal splash screen.

the splash screen is the very first HTC Logo that is showed when the phone boots up. The splash screen is stored in the radio area and is displayed by the radio software of the phone. Thus you need S-OFF.

The bootanimation, however, is the animation that comes after the splash screen. (the white background with htc quitly brilliant animation).

This animation is done by the kernel. The animation can be changed by placing a bootanimation.zip in the right format at /system/customize/resource.

Share your experience with Galaxy Nexus reception, don't forget to include your baseband version, carrier, location and ROM information,

so this topic can help people decide what network to use and what network not to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Hi there,

I suppose the iPhone just has a better signal.

I tried 5 different radios and 3 ROMs, but I can't get ANY signal in my flat.

Signal is bad where I live, but with the iPhone I had at least 1 bar at several spots and 2-3 at my window...

with the Galaxy Nexus I can't get any signal anywhere.

If anyone has a solution tho, I would love to know ... I can't even write a SMS

Edit: To make it strange, I have an AWESOME signal with the SGN at university tho, even better than with the iPhone... same provider, same contract, same number, just different phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegost4u:
but the galaxy s2 is giving a full signal though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Well I don't have any other phone but iPhone 4 and GNex to test it out ... I just really hope it's a software related issue and not a hardware one... calling is not the problem, I have a normal phone ... but it is really annoying to not be able to send and receive SMS :/

Right now I'm just flashing every new radio that comes out and hope that issue will be resolved ... and I certainly hope someone will pop into this thread with a solution
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegost4u:
about 200 views and no one seems to have this problem !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
You could try to change the baseband - try xkk6, or ugkk7 (not sure about the exact names, but the names shouldn't be too off) go to settings > about phone, and post your baseband version here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegost4u:
i have kk6, i tried krkl1,ugla4,ugkl1,ugkk7,dvkk6 and xxkl1 ! nothing seems to work, i have only 2 bars then 1 bar then no signal ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
Your with 3 what did you expect? If you have picked up bars with a s2 on 3 aswell and the iPhone (dual antenna) and remember s2 has UMA . Give 3 a call and get them to run a diagnostic. Remember 3 don't have 2g and 3g has less penetration through buildings then 2g does .maybe a change in networks if your not in contract (hint hint nudge nudge giff gaff )

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegost4u:
i have the one monthly plan which allows me to tether internet as i want with no limit, can't change 3 cause i depend on it, but am gonna change the phone tomorrow...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
Fair enough mate hope it gets sorted for you

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalinf:
I'm with giffgaff and I'm having a very similar experience to the OP. In my flat the phone has a very weak signal strength and drops the network every once in a while during the evening which then seems to cause sms being sent to me not to arrive until I either send one myself or toggle airplane mode on and of - very annoying. If I use my old HTC Wildfire then I don't suffer this problem.

When I am in my office the phone is fine - the walls in my office are much thicker than the ones in my home and it's a much more built up area.

Are you getting a replacement GN or switching to a different phone? I'd be interested to hear if you have an improved experience with a replacement nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegost4u:
i don't think getting another GN will solve the problem so am going to another phone, i don't know what to choose honestly, maybe iphone 4s/4 or htc device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalinf:
There is evidence of people having faulty hardware and getting a new GN resolved their issues: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1387263&page=13

There are a few threads on here that have had a similar outcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
A have noticed that my signal in my house is a bit hit and miss, don't know if its vodafones signal going down.

I wouldn't get the 4s, waste of time. Grab one of the new htcs possibly the one x .

Saying everything mobile networks never say they can provide signal in houses, only outdoors
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Hey, the GPS works just fine for me, it's just the signal...

As said, tried about 5 different radios / basebands...

I don't have any signal loss once I get signal (outside my village that is), GPS works like a charm (I even get a bit of GPS in my flat! Didn't have that with my iPhone)

I tried about everything, to no avail...

Well, I don't want to go the way thegost4u goes... I love the GNex, it's the perfect phone for me ... if there wouldn't be the signal issue :/

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

NEVERMIND!

......I just figured it out

The problem is actually my cellphone CASE (leather and plastic)

It appears, that my signal here is THAT BAD, that I get absolutely no signal when I have it in the case, without the case and the KRKK7, I get 2 bars on my couch, which is equal / better than the iPhone....(usually had 1 bar there)

@OP: Do you use any case? If so, try taking it off!

Instant fix for me...I can't believe I havn't thought about that earlier...*facepalms*

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Next Edit:

With the UGLA4 I get 3(!!) signal bars... I NEVER had that much with any phone!

This is incredible, this case killed ANY signal for me....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
The signal bars don't meant jack ****. Really, they don't mean anything. You can't compare them except to the exact same phone running the exact same OS with the exact same version.

For an accurate measurement of signal strength go to Settings -> About -> Status and see the signal strength there measured in dBm. The higher the number the better (negative and logarithmic, so -100 is worse than -70 - several orders of a magnitude worse). This way you can check the actual signal strength.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Done that to test it, actually my bars are pretty accurate :)

With case I'm stuck at -111 ... no signal at all

KRKK7 gave me about -103 on my table, UGLA4 gives me -101

I just did a phone call while sitting on my couch, I'm so excited xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
3 UK isn't best known for there service (there ranked last) case in point my GN on giffgaff (o2 signal) gets a higher download speed than the wifi in my halls (unlimited bandwidth ftw). But my flat mates iPhone 4 drops signal constantly in fact the is a dead spot in her room.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Nothing wrong with the GSM radio for me. LTE had more issues from what I've read
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The GSM Galaxy Nexus seems to have pretty much the same reception as my Nexus One for me based on what I remember.

If you still have issues you might want to try the radios for different regions and the ones for Asian versions of the phone that has a different model number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Fair enough. That is indeed horrible signal, normally you should be in the low 90`s high 80`s range for good signal. Either the phone is defective or 3's network sucks so bad the radio in the Nexus can't make out the signal, while phones with stronger radios and antennas (iPhone?) can. What signal strength do the 4S and SII get?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fasinationinmotion:
Last time I checked the radio is the carrier. Not samsung or googles fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthropologic:
So my device works verry pretty. I can't say any bad thing. I have UGLA4, too.

Greetz, Anthropologic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Well the firmware is slightly different, tuned for some geographical regions, but they aren't all THAT different. The baseband hardware can be crappier on the Nexus than on other phones; in fact, it is if you compare it to Motorola.

Granted, you didn't buy this phone for the excellent reception on the top of Himalaya, you bought it for the stock Android 4.0 experience and the development options (whether you are a developer or just a custom ROM user), or you should have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
My GSM model gets better service and speeds than my G2. No complaints.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
Send I'm with T-Mobile UK I share orange network signal wherever I go. They also bumped the speeds up a bit (quite) and now I have 3.8 mbit down and 1mbit up wherever I go on both networks. Its more than enough for me. I remember when T-Mobile capped data to 1.8mbit haha. Ohhh just a hint . T-Mobile doesn't really have FUP well they do but they don't charge you and don't slow you down. Only thing they do is blocking YouTube and some other flash streaming. So for iPhone users its perfect ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b4cksl4sh:

Okay, i wanted to download the ELEGANCIA ICS ROM but before i could i had to download a FIRMWARE PACKAGE(or just firmware). So i downloaded the Firmware from 3.32 RUU which is for the ELEGANCIA ROM...By the way, I DID THIS BEFORE I INSTALLED the ELEGANCIA ROM(i hadn't downloaded it yet..elegancia rom) I followed the instructions how to flash it. It said it would tell you what to do next..so i did it. Went into Recovery and flashed through sd and installed the ZIP file and when it asked if i wanted to udate it i pressed Yes...and then this is what HAPPENs NEXT.

It ask if i want to update and I do and then it says:

Parsing...[ SD ZIP]

[1] BOOTLOADER - Ok

Update Complete...

Press POWER to reboot.

So i press power and all it does is: BOOTS up and then TURNS OFF

It continues to do that...I believe it's called BOOT LOOPING.?

I pull out the battery and press VOL. Down plus POWER at the same tiime and it takes me back to the WHITE SCREEN and I see FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, SIMLOCK and IMAGE CRC but does NOT let me choose. It automatically goes to HBOOT.

I have to pull battery or it will continue to BOOT itself on and off again. Even with the phone off, I connect it to my usb connection on my laptop and my device does not show on my laptop. Both the usb connection and usb cord are working properly.

That is my BIG PAIN in MY ASS right now!!

Can someone please help me.?
[HTC Sensation] Sigg1996:
You will have to make your phone Super-CID or download the correct firmware package that fit your CID.

Super-CID makes you able to flash any firmware package etc.

I am on T Mobile USA. How do I know which Firmware Package to choose?
[HTC Sensation] craven667:

[HTC Sensation] namila007:
i think you have to retore your phone to stock if you cant log to hboot :/

if you can load to hboot then find the cid ( or just supercid -check my sig) then flash the correct firmware file
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
You stated that your ROM was GB and that's not supported on the 3.32 F/W.

Download your ICS ROM and mike's SuperWipe script from the ARHD thread.

Copy them to the SDcard via the PC and a USB <-> microSD adapter.

Delete the PG58IMG.zip file on the SDcard.

Boot the phone into Bootloader, get into Recovery, SuperWipe and flash the ROM.

You also have a locked version (1.27.0000) of the HBOOT, I suggest at some stage installing an unlocked version (1.27.1100) from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

How do i restore to stock? I have already read the supercid but it does say phone has to be turned on and everytime i turn phone on it just turns off again then on..etc...
[HTC Sensation] thekoopers:
I just found your post and i will try and follow your instructions to the tee...if I have a problem with anything I will ask you on your post.

Thanks, craven667
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Don't bother restoring to stock, waste of effort.

Read my previous post.

1. Anyway, did the ICS F/W update work ?

2. Is the PG58IMG.zip file still on the SDcard ? If so rename /delete it.

3. Get your chosen ICS ROM and mike's SuperWipe script onto the SDcard.

4. Go into recovery and run the Superwipe script then flash the ROM.

Steps 2 & 3 you'll need to use a PC to do these with a USB <-> microSD adapter.

I am assuming that there wasn't a typo in your original post in that you actually have HBOOT 1.27.0000, this is ICS ONLY firmware and GB won't work on it.

BTW what recovery have you got ? CWM or 4EXT ?
[HTC Sensation] thekoopers:
I will try what you said to do.

Thanks, gol_sol.

Very much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
+1 10 char. I also do not suggest to flash an RUU.
[HTC Sensation] thekoopers:
I just tried it and the phone is ON NOW BUT it is just on the White screen with the Green HTC letters. It has been on for 15 minutes already...By the way, I DO NOT have a microSD adapter. I did it by getting into CWM and going to Recovery and going into mounts and then i mounted it and was able to install it like that. Is that the reason why it is still on the White HTC screen? Do I pull the Battery?

Another thing I still haven't flashed my ICS Rom because when i DID Mike's SuperWipe it did it's thing and just automattically went to the White HTC screen.

No, there is NO TYPO, that is exactly what it says. I believe i still have CWM and I remember tthat I had 4ext to.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
So precisely what have you got on the SDcard at the moment ?

PG58IMG.zip ?

SuperWipe.zip (or what ever the name is) ?

ICS ROM "zip" file ?

Edit: If you used the superwipe script you have no OS on the phone and will NEED to flash an ICS ROM through recovery. It shouldn't have gone to the white HTC screen just returned to CWM. If you don't have an ICS ROM on the phone's SDcard you can try adb pushing it or possibly use another device that has microUSB capability.
[HTC Sensation] thekoopers:
What I have now is Superwipe.zip and ICS ROM.zip. I deleted the PG58IMG that I had on the SD Card before I did the SUPERWIPE.

I pulled out the battery and got into recovery and installed from sdcard and I went to install ICS ROM and it started but then it said ABORTED. Tried again and said the same thing.

Should I try another ICS ROM?

What about not having the PG58IMG?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
It seems that your ics ROM is corrupted. Did you check the md5sum of the ROM zip file?
[HTC Sensation] thekoopers:
I did not check that but I will Re-Flash and see if it works.

So I just started using Rom Toolbox last night (thanks seeker9 for the recommendation). I've changed system font, battery status icon in the status bar, changed my boot animation and experimented with underclocking the processor. I notice there's a theme manager. Has anybody safely used the theme manager with SuperCharged V5 or any other ROM with the Atrix 2?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ymcmbforever:
I have and it bricked my phone dont use please
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
What specific part bricked your phone? The theme manager? ROM manager? I've only used the features I mentioned, "system font, battery status icon in the status bar, changed my boot animation and experimented with underclocking the processor". I manage ROMs with Atrix 2 Bootstraper.

BTW there are two theme managers. One called Theme Manager and one called Theme Chooser Themes. Since we don't run CM7 (or 9) yet its obvious we can't use Theme Chooser. I'm wondering about the

Theme Manager

though. Nothing there looks extremely compelling to me. Just curious. Not curious enough to brick my phone though. I might try Notification Backgrounds first. Anybody here try that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
I'd like to try the dialer themes too. Anybody try that with SupsrCharged ROM?

Hello everyone. Long story short - my micro-usb port broke , flashed stock rom from root of sd card so I could use my warranty . Service shop said it was my fault and the only fix is to change the main board which costs lots of $$$ .

So now am I stuck with Windows Mobile 6.5 1.66 ROM(Why didn't I install atleast 3.14:mad:) or is there a way to install HSPL and later on CLK(I think you can flash CLK as .nbh from sd card).

[HD2 General] htccraze:
I would go back and try to talk to someone else at that shop or better yet find another shop. I never heard of a broken usb port being blamed

on the person. I think they wanted to make money off of you personally. I have taken back maybe 5-7 phones in my life because of the usb

port going up and not once have i ever heard it was my fault and they wouldn't cover it.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
i had an xdaIIi refused warranty on the usb port cos it was full of gunk. Bit of a grey area, warranty and the usb port, there have been a few posts over the years where people have it refused for one reason or another.

That being said, i do agree that OP should be back at the shop kicking up a fuss.

@OP - you can still flash a 3.14 from sd card. So long as you use the correct rom for that phones original region and carrier, it will flash.
