[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Have you set the phone to keep the wifi active when sleeping or locked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Puff3r:
No I have not. Does the wifi connection prevent the cell network from connecting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nh5:
cell network shouldn't disconnect at all if it is, swap it out could be bad phone. Also what is your signal level at your desk at home? Low signal normally causes missing of messages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
No, it doesn't.

Do you use any 3rd party apps like tasker?

When did this issue start? Perhaps there is an issue with the tower that serves your home. How strong is your cellular signal at home? I believe text messages (except MMS) are sent over the cellular network. Your being on wifi shouldn't matter (does being at home with wifi off and the phone locked still cause issues?).

I can't imagine other ROMs causing issues, though. If anything, they would mess up your data network only if they had the wrong APN settings for your area (for example, for a while, people using Unnamed didn't have data issues, except for a few like me who lived in certain areas with Cingular towers). Or maybe the stock modem files are better for you than the ones provided by the ROMs?

Maybe you have an old sim card that somehow has issues? You should be able to get a free one from at&t. Do you have another phone that you can test it with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Puff3r:
I keep a minimum of 3 bars and live near the center of a large city. As stated in the op, this is only happening on added ROMs never on stock. I have again reverted to stock (+root), since the op, and confirm that I am getting messages and calls at my desk at home with the phone locked.

****************************Edit for SoCaliTrojan post********************************************

I do not have any additional task managers installed, I've just always used the one built in. As for the SIM card, I am using the one that I got with the i777 at upgrade and get the 4G network when not on wifi, so I think I can rule it out. My wife has a Note that I have been drooling over, guess I will have to "borrow" it for "testing" when she gets home from work.

Also, I notice I am on baseband KH7 with Android version 2.3.4. I see mention of KK6 and 2.3.6 on the forums. I have avoided flashing the baseband, when possible, to keep from possibly bricking the unit. Is it possible that upgrading these could resolve the issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfreywald:
That is a very weird problem. Only thing I can suggest is compare the APN settings in root with a custom rom's settings. They should be identical, but check anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
OK, I have to ask since seeing the above, do you have a plain SGSII or a SkyRocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Puff3r:
It is branded GalaxySII on the back with model number sgh-i777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Then it isn't connecting to 4G networks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
It's labeled as "4g" but really just multiple 3g connections to give you a faster overall speed. But you might want to just try getting a new sim card at your AT&T store, if that doesn't work, try a different modem (like KK6) the whole list/downloads are in the development section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
I made AT&T upgrade me to a n LTE sim card. Our phone disent have LTE but the newer sim cards supposedly will make your speeds faster when LTE does come to your area due to it pushing HSPA+ faster than enhanced backhaul.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rduncan1974:
You said you live in the center of a big city maybe being surrounded by a lot of tall buildings could be causing havoc on your cell reception.I know at my work I can send and receive messages and calls everywhere except our breakroom but everyone else's phone works fine in the breakroom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asjdwf:
If I was wanting to pit a new modem on my sgs2 att phone what do I need to do?
[HTC One S] Kamyu:
Hello,

I've been reading these forums for ages and decided it was time to actually share some thoughts.

Since my HD2 broke a few weeks ago I am looking for a new phone. I wanted to buy a GSII or HTC Sensation but after hearing about HTC's One line I decided I could wait another month.

Now I am considering both the One S and the One X.

My thoughts about these phones:

I do not really care about the processor as long as the phone runs smooth, I expect them both to be fine at this point

The lack of a SD-card slot doesn't really bother me as well

A non-removable battery will be something I have to live with

Now the real differences to me are:

Size/form: The one S looks like a way better sized to me. I doubt I could like a phone beyond ~4.5". I also think the black ceramic looks really beautiful. The One X looks good as well, but the vulcano-shaped camera is just ugly to me.

Costs: the One S is a bit cheaper

Display: reading the reviews I think it's easy to conclude the One X is definitely way ahead of the One S

Now my question: Is the qHD Super Amoled Pentile display on the One S really that bad? Sure it might not look good when viewing at 15cm distance. But that won't be the way I will be using the phone. I read about the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus One having a PenTile Amoled screen as well. Though a lot of people complain about the Nexus One, I do not hear that much complains about the Galaxy Nexus' screen. Is this due to the higher resolution?

How would the One S' display look compared to, say, the HD2 800x480 WVGA display?

Can't wait to test them in real life!
[HTC One S] Alien987:
Advantages of qHD Pentile SAMOLED:

- Excellent contrast

- True Black

- Colors that pop out of the screen

- In 4.3" is a decent PPI but not best, meaning it will sharp but it could be better (coming from HD2 you shouldn't notice that much difference unless you compare it side by side with a higher resolution screen)

- Longer battery life IF using a lot of black (which ICS uses, but webpages don't)

Disadvantages:

- Not so sharp text (because of Pentile Matrix and not so high resolution combined)

- "Dirty Whites", no matter how well calibrated is the screen white is one of the colors that usually suffer more with Pentile Amoled screens

- Shorter battery life IF surfing the web a lot or using applications with predominant white color

- Poor outdoor performance in shiny days compared with many LCD screens

I'm sure I'm missing some others, but that pretty much sum the pros and cons of SAMOLED screens with Pentile.

And you're right about Galaxy Nexus screen, the only advantage that alleviates the sharpness problem is the higher PPI, but even so the problems are there just less noticeable.
[HTC One S] clubbtraxx:
Compared to the HD2s 64K only colors screen I think you will be delighted with any of the newer screens, pentile or not.

I had an Amoled Desire and indeed the pentile layout is a little less sharp but it didn't bother me at all and I will be happily buying a One-S when it becomes available.
[HTC One S] Serious_Beans:
You should see what people say about the Droid Razor because that has a qhd samoled pentile screen. Check reviews and stuff, from what I read (very little) the screen isn't that great according to theverge and engadget, but go check it out at the Verizon store and you will have a good idea of how the screen will look. IMO its just a small "issue" because the rest of it is pretty bad ass.
[HTC One S] manlisten:
Yeah, I have a friend who has the RAZR and the screen is pretty shoddy. Its not so much the sharpness, but it has a really strong blue tint if you look at it even slightly tilted. Its not even a tint, white turns into blue. Not sure if that just came from a bad batch but if that's the screen that the One S will have I have to be a bit concerned.

My Vibrant has a slight blue tint as well but its not nearly as strong. If the One S has a screen closer to the Vibrant than the RAZR then it's perfectly fine.
[HTC One S] Kamyu:
Nice to read your opinions! It's always nice to see how people have totally different opinions about the same thing.

I, really like a sharper, higher resolution screen. I kinda get annoyed when text gets blurred. Yet if it is only really noticeable when taking a closer look I won't mind.. The colored white is something I am a bit worried about though. I quite like the more saturated colors.

I think we can conclude that I (we) will just have to wait to see the device in real life. As long as it does not bother me when watching from a little distance I guess I will take it! Apart from the screen the specs are great and it just looks very very nice..
[HTC One S] EddyOS:
I didn't think there was anything wrong with the AMOLED screen on the One S when I had a play with it on Friday just gone, and colours were noticeable brighter than the One X's SLCD2 screen (as you'd expect)

The weight and thinness of the One S was nice, though - didn't expect it to be so light/slim
[HTC One S] FILLY86:
The Screen seems to be that same like the one in the motorola razzr. I did have the razzr for a few days and i can tell that i didnt like it. Colors were not accurate and in some circumstanced it looked really really bad (red backgroud with text on it)
[HTC One S] manlisten:
Thanks for the impressions.

I think that this may be a Motorola thing. I had a look at a Droid 3 yesterday and despite it being qHD, it was noticeably more pixelated than my Vibrant at WVGA. I barely notice the pixelation on my phone unless I really look for it. Does Samsung provide these screens? Maybe they're sabotaging their competitors? :D
[HTC One S] stesa:
doesn't seem too bad even compared to the one x
[HTC One S] Alien987:
You'll never notice a difference between two small screens from a far distance, remember you use a phone very close to your face, and even then not everybody see things in the same way and some people claim not being able to notice the pentile pixelation (others like me see it).
[HTC One S] Jackmax32:
For me the pentile SAMOLED is good if not the best... I have a Galaxy S and I found the screen to be pretty good(Was using LCD droid before).. Anyways gsmarena reported the pentile screen of the One S to be better than earlier pentile screens.They said HTC used some of its tech on the screen resulting in better pentile SAMOLED.. Btw am also planning to buy the One S .. Very disappointed by Samsung support.

Here is the article on the One S screen

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_s_and_one_x_displays_detailed-news-3940.php
[HTC One S] Kamyu:
Yeah it's kinda weird how everyone is really positive about the One S' screen. It sounds like it has the same screen as the razzr, and a lot of people complain about Motorola's screen.

Anyway, maybe they improved the PenTile performances. We'll see soon enough!
[HTC One S] manlisten:
I think Motorola just does a poor job calibrating their screens. I have no problem with the Pentile screen on the Vibrant. Its obviously no retina display but it's very sharp considering the screen size and resolution.

The only thing that sort of bugs me about the screen is how saturated everything is. Some people like that but I would prefer more natural tones. This is just personal preference though.
[HTC One S] asestar:
As an owner of AMOLED desire, i can say that its the best! It depends a lot on when and where you use your phone most. For me, thats in office and in my room at night.

Especially in a dark room, nothing can compare to the infinite contrast and excellent blacks of SAMOLED screens. Also very good for showing pictures to others, as they appear vibrant.

I guess my 2nd preference would be the IPS display from LG (like the one on Optimus 2X).
[HTC One S] ursubpar:
One VERY annoying aspect of SuperAMOLED is the burn in and wear.

I had an SGS before and the black statusbar got burned into the screen after 3-4 months of use.

It won't go away no matter what and it gets super annoying when holding the phone in landscape and watching video.

The wearing of the screen makes the colors less vibrant and not as bright.

I did love AMOLED before it burned in but after that I couldn't take it anymore so I got a sensation and passed my SGS down to my little sister.
[HTC One S] asestar:
I'm not sure that is normal.. though all screens can get some degree of burn in, it shouldn't be permanent.

Could be just a bad phone?

Both me and wife have amoled phones (me desire, her sgs) and don't notice any Burn in.
[HTC One S] MemphisLeak:
It would be nice to know how the screen compares to say a SGS
[HTC One S] Jazd71:
I have a one s and my wife also, no issues with screen this is now my 9th HTC and clarity and colours are fine, you'd have to be very picky to complain that its not up to the job. This is one cracking phone, i'm sure i'll find some bugs but for now its great.
[HTC One S] Niiceg:
I am thinking about both One X and One S, but screen is really important for me, because I had iPhone 4S for more than a month and can say, that I see so many pixels now :D So the question is, can you see pixels on One S screen? Is it sharp and clear?
[HTC One S] ptr_hamilton:
If you see pixels on iPhone4 then better go for one x with it's hd display ;)
[HTC One S] Jazd71:
as above, i dont think that they are very visible and certainly don't detract, my bro in law has the 4s and i wouldnt say its markedly better than the one s, but if in doubt the one x screen is a peach!
[HTC One S] MemphisLeak:
how have you got it already? doesn't it come out on the 5th?
[HTC One S] manlisten:
For me it's not so much about the pixel density. I have an iPhone 4 and a Vibrant and I compare the screens all the time. The difference in sharpness is certainly noticeable, but it's the difference in color reproduction that bugs me. I'm very aware of how blue the tint on my Vibrant is now. That said, it's encouraging to hear you guys are pleased with the screen on the One S. I know that the Droid Razr early adopters were less than thrilled with that screen so your early feedback is encouraging.

Now just release the damn thing already, T-Mo! :D
[HTC One S] Jazd71:
Was due for an upgrade went in to the shop asked about new HTC one range and assistant said the one S has literally just come in, I said can I have 2 she said yep! I was surprised but happy, they didn't even mention the release date so nor did ! :)
[HTC One S] jaywhy13:
IMHO.. I think it's all just perception... I watched many of the initial views when ppl JUST got their hands on the phone @ MWC and they had nothign bad to say about the screen. Probably sometimes it's better to not know too much. Psshh... pentile matrix... screen STILL looks sweet!
[HTC One S] rousseauxy:
How is the brightness and visibility on this screen when outside on a sunny (no clouds) day? :-)

I remember that it was quite brilliant on my Galaxy S and sucked big time on my Desire Z, so really wonder how the One S does.
[HTC One S] radamo:
I would like to know that as well. This phone looks like a nice balance... if I can convince myself to get by with the 16gb...
[HTC One S] autophone:
Dammnn you're so lucky...:mad:...:p
[HTC One S] zarz123:
Thinking of getting this phone. Looks a beauty. My only concern is that pentile screen. I have never used one ever. I have an iPhone and retina display has spoiled my eyes. The one x is too big for me and one s is what I am seriously considering. Is the screen really bad? M not an apple fanboy but I love iOS once it's jailbroken . It's silky smooth. My experience with android is my mums galaxy sl and it doesn't excite me. But this phone is real snappy it seems and I am hoping the display won't ruin my first real experience with android :)
[HTC One S] autophone:
I have an SGS with SAMOLED and to be honest the screen looks better than my sister's iPhone 4. Despite having a much higher pixel density and IPS technology, SGS beats it in terms of color contrast and a slightly larger screen. The iPhone's screen is more soft tone while the SGS is more vibrant.
[HTC One S] zarz123:
So I should go for the phone regardless of the pentile screen? I just want the color to be natural not toooo vibrant and i don't wanna be disappointed that's it ;) . Wish one x wasn't that big ..
[HTC One S] donverse:
I already picked up a One S. The screen, in my opinion, is gorgeous. I've had a SLCD Desire before that, and it's just no comparison.

I've also had that thought before but I absolutely LOVE the screen.

Just my opinion, though ;)
[HTC One S] zarz123:
Thanks guys. Btw the wave also had the pentile display right? A friend of mine has it. Doesn't look that bad..
[HTC One S] radamo:
Great... thanks for your post. Can't wait to see this phone in person.

RA
[HTC One S] RobertRobot:
I can confirm that. Its a lovely screen :)
[HTC One S] rferrerca:
Cold you guys who got it, make some pictures to the screen and if possible, compare them to other devices? :D
[HTC One S] Leviathan2k:
I currently use a Desire (AMOLED), and have no issues with the PenTile layout. The text unsharpness is only noticeable at ridiculously close distance to your face (like 10-15cm), and since the PPI of the One S is a bit higher, it should be even less noticeable. Toyed around in the store with a One S before ordering one, and it appeared very nice.
[HTC One S] lm85:
hi, got my one s today and soon after turning it on i have noticed a smudge/mark under the bottom right touch button, the one for killing apps, looking with a magnifying glass it is clearly not meant to be there, i am sending it back to be replaced

anyone else got this? you might have to look close but once you notice it you wont stop noticing it
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
I've been playin around with the device for about an hour and can confirm that the pentile matrix is visible if you take a close look but it is not that bad as with comparable devices (like those of motorola). HTC redeveloped the screen on their own to reduce the influence of the pentile matrix.
[HTC One S] jodue:
for all people concerned with the pentile screen: i can confirm that the pentile layout is visible if one looks (very) closely. the screen is very similar to the one in my old galaxy s, almost identical. this makes a lot of sense since samsung produced both of them. in normal use you won't have any issues with reading text, at least i never had. everything else besides (small) text is obviously crystal clear. i think unless you are a real videophile you will be okay with the screen an since everything else beside the screen is really top notch it's a "compromise" i would make any day!
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
absolutely agreeing with / confirming this! just spoke to a technical tester / journalist of a quite well known german magazine who has been testing this device for a couple of days now and his statement to me was: if you like everything else about the phone, you should buy it! the screen should not be a reason for hesitating until you are not really a videophile like jodue already said.
[HTC One S] Niiceg:
Nah, I don't see pixels on iPhone screen. It was super uber good, but now I am using Omnia 7, which screen is not so good...
[HTC One S] kenyw:
I have had my One S for a few days now and although I do see what is meant by the PenTile 'dirty whites' and some flaws with the text if I focus on them long and hard enough. Certainly the screen is no worse than the Desire my One S replaces, and is much more usable outdoors.

Compared to my previous phone the screen is definitely an improvement. Pixel density (comparing against the Desire's AMOLED which is also PenTile) is about the same.

If PenTile does contribute to better battery life (I have yet to read a study or measurements proving it either way) then I'm fine with that. My One S has just gone for more than 24 hours with more than 50% battery left on the gauge, though, which is another plus for me :)
[HTC One S] GalaxyS2R:
No problems with the screen at all
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Get the One S if your on t-mobile.

One X if your on any diff carrier.
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
Why that?
[HTC One S] shadow.8:
I think he is talking about in the USA where T-Mobile won't be getting the One X
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
The brightness even on sunny days is OK. Better than my HTC Sensation I would dare to say, although I cannot directly compare to a One X model.

The "Oversaturation" of colors that AMOLED displays often get discredit for helps out here a bit i tend to think...

Oh, and strike that 16GB. With the current partition layout on stock firmware the user acessible space is just a tad bit less than 10GB. At least on the Euro models.
[HTC One S] Fondue:
Hi all. Just switched "down" from a One X to an S, as the flickery screen was just too much. I've been very pleasantly surprised by the form factor of the S - much better to hold than the X - however, the screen just seems pretty poor by comparison and I'm hoping (!) I've just got a bad example of one. Ok, things seem less sharp / softer (understandably, but some things almost seem "unfocussed", if that makes sense), but I seem to get a lot of red fringing around the right hand edge of bright objects - certainly more visibly than I was expecting. Interestingly (well, perhaps!), my Desire (AMOLED) had red fringing on the left hand side, rather than the right, but I never noticed it as much. I'm hoping the X didn't spoil me too much...

[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
After finally learning some things about developing, I decided that i would attempt to port a mod. It wasnt very difficult but took me alot of time to figure it out! So i really hope any of you that are still on EL30 or FC09 will enjoy this :)

First off i want to Completely and Fully thank MADDOGGGIN!!! He brought this to EI22 and showed me direction in porting it to EL30 and FC09. He is a Genius and deserves all the thanks for this Mod. I would also like to thank toadlife for all the hard work he does for us. I have always been faithful to his work and the file i modded was based off his work!​

I finally present to you all.....

EL30 & FC09 CRT ON Animation!!!!

★ ☆ EL30DOWNLOAD LINK ☆ ★

★ ☆ FC09DOWNLOAD LINK ☆ ★

​

This will not give you CRT OFF but almost every other ROM has it already so you can just get it there. This is also in a completely different file than the OFF mod so this wont break anything :)​

Lol at asking for screen shots (inherently still photos) of an animation...

CRT on is the exactly the same as CRT off, but in reverse - simple enough?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jmoney2k5:
Just wanted to let you know that this is working perfectly, no issues for me at all. Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jmax0420:
Will this work with cm9 beta 1? It is el30
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
No this won't work on cm9. EL30 is touchwiz and cm9 is AOSP. This will work on clean gb, sleeper rom, long way to go rom if your still on bml or stock EL30. It may also work on the leaked FB15 that darkierawr put together but doubt that's been tested yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
Listen to him^^ he's on the right track lol I'm sure I could do it for CM9 but I gotta look into it. Will update as soon as I look at the files

Edit: doesn't work on FB15.. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Sorry, jumped on it before you did trav. Figured you were busy :)
