Wildfire with

ROM: CM 7.2

Kernel: 2.6.35.14-InfinityPlay

Radio: 3.35.20.16

For the last year wifi, after a short period of time i can't download, I mean, some times i connect, get into market for example and download/update, but after some time i can't, it's not a market problem because i can't download from anywhere, regardless the app, but i can browse normally(!), the problem is only in downloading. Even if i reset wifi, go in and out of airplane mode, restart the phone etc, the problem stays. Maybe if i try the next day it works ok. I dont know how it occurs or when and why, nor how/why/when it gets fixed...

The problem started when I had rompuzzle 2.2.1 a year before, till now. Since then I have flashed stock rom with 2.2.1, jockerdroid 4.2, cm 7.1, and cm 7.2 that i have now.

I suspect it is a radio problem, but can't be sure.

*Also sometimes I have low gsm signal, even in well covered areas.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pietfoef:
You said you flashed stock rom, i suppose it was a stock rom from Android?

It really looks like you have a problem with your radio (like you allready say for yourself).

It seems you have the newest one, so try a lower version.

I you have troubles finding a radio because the host is down or something just pm me or try google.

Hope this helped! Kind regards.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_fighter:
i have tried all 3 radios, but the problem stays. But i have noticed that when i enable tether and i put in the console the command for reverse tethering *usually* it gets fixed until the next time that i disconnect from my wi-fi.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j4r0l:
i have not the same but similar problem,after a while i get dropped from router,even if my phone says its connected...this started to happen after changing our router (which i couldnt and cant set up) and setting up "N" wifi network...i found two options,how to solve it..

1)use free app wifi fixer from google play store (which somehow manages to know if you are connected or not and can automatically reassociate with router again)

or

2)flash HCDR.Kernel_v4_Flashable.zip from op on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798471

maybe it help, maybe not.. ;) gl
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_fighter:
I have *temporary* solved the problem by following the reverse tethering guide... I don't know why but after doing this procedure I can connect normally to my router, and if it disconnects (rarely) I just repeat the steps of the guide.
[Desire HD General] Choopeh:
In my recent attempts to root the phone, I've went through an downgrade procedure, and after it was finished, the phone turned off and won't turn on, I've taken everything out, tried the key combo several times, and after leaving it on the table as I was looking up a solution it turned on for a second and turned off again.

Is the phone bricked? Is there a way to fix this?

It turned on again, froze on the HTC logo and continuously vibrated, afterwards it stopped and keeps hanging on the HTC logo

It went past the HTC logo, played the jingle and got to the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo. What is going on? And it works again... I think

Hello, I installed update-cm-7-20120312-NIGHTLY-captivatemtd-signed.zip - does the + sign work in the phone dialer so I can call internationally? I tried long pressing the + sign and nothing happens. Dialing 00 as a prefix also will not make the call international.

Hi,

I just got this phone for my wife and the splash screen after the bootanimation is of the network operator. I was wondering how I can replace this splash screen with a personalized one or remove it altogether if I cant change it myself.

I looked around but couldn't find anything 100% for this phone.

The device is already rooted and i figured with was as simple as replacing a file in system or something but couldn't find it anywhere

Thanks for any assistance

[Motorola Droid RAZR] MattyOnXperiaX10:
Why do you need to change it lol. Leave your wifes phone alone. it's not like you switch your phone on and off phone 24/7

Ask us any Android Related Question @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RoyalWitCheese:
After you pull the bootanimation.zip from /system/media, you can just open the zip file, and edit the desc.txt file.

ie - Mine looks like this -

# 540 wide, 960 tall 15 frames per second

540 960 15

# intro

p 1 15 intro

# fade

p 1 0 fade

# mobility

p 4 0 mobility

# rogers

p 0 0 rogers

and I can just change "p 0 0 rogers" (carrier) to "#p 0 0 rogers" (no quotes) and it blocks that boot animation part from running.

Or you could go into the folder that's named in the last Part, and edit the pic to be whatever you want.

After switching everything you want, push it back to /system/media

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Budge:
That's a great deal! But don't we want a faster class (like 10)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
This is a matter of debate that can be argued from many angles, most commonly Cache Vs Class. There has been lots of debating on XDA and other forums about how android functions and little to no advantage is seen. I'd really prefer this didn't turn into a debate yet again as there is plenty of places that this be read up on. I run this exact card in 3 nook colors and 4 Android phones currently in my house. never had any hickup in video playback yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kaishi00:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clockcycle:
I wasn't gonna get into the tit for tat about speed.

But I have a legit question, how's about recording 720p? Seeing the Note is capable of it.

I usually have Class 2, that have worked very well in most of my phone/tablet devices. I rarely if ever record any video that would require any type of "high" resolution, yet.

As for playback, I've not had any issue with even the Class 2 SanDisk... YMMV with other "brands" and/or counterfeits..

I bought his same exact card about 6 months ago for $35. DISREGARD the "class 4" rumors and whatnot. My music and videos play at such an amazing rate you'd assume the card is an expensive high class etc etc. The only notable difference is when your copying your music/videos to the card from your computer. So what..wait acouple of hours for 4000 songs to get copied! I did and for the price how could you say no? :D

I seriously think Sandisc is really the best company to trust with micro SD cards

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
absolutely, for me they have far and away been the most consistantly fast cards. You just have to be careful, there are lots of fakes and knockoffs out there that look identical, especially on ebay. Beware anything anyone selling them without OEM packaging. I have fallen for the "these were returns, so we're selling them cheaper since they are out of package" If it's not in Sandisk authenticate packaging, I won't touch it. The 32Gb I bought at walmart a few months ago cost me $50, and that was a decent deal then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Budge:
Sorry. I didn't mean to derail the topic. I use the camera a lot for 1080P video, which uses large files and needs a fast write speed. For me, the class 6 or 10 might be better. But after reading the threads you linked to, it does seem that the Sandisk class 4 would be the best all-rounder for most people. Thanks again for the thread. I may order one and give it try anyway. I'll let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I believe when recording it saves locally then once stopped it goes to perm storage, this used to be the way it was, may or may not have changed but would make sense to keep this this way.

I keep a card or two on hand loaded with movies and TV shows for when I travel or know I'll be sitting bored for awhile just incase the 32 I have installed doesn't have enough entertainment. For $20, you can't lose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clockcycle:
By save locally, you mean save/cache/buffer on phone then to external storage if so configured?

I doubt it would do that, as the phone's internal memory is write limited by the same limits as an SD card, correct?

Def a good deal. Compare to $80 64 Class 6 card i just bought. :)

I like to post a good deal and LIKE to see how ppl react. Some appropriated because they just got a good deal, some will be *****y this and that because they are not free??:confused::confused:, ... :D. People will never be satisfied.

Suggest to others: if you don't like it just because of ANY REASONS, swallow it then move on to the next thread. It may not be useful for you but will be useful for some others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I'm not real sure to be honest man, it's mostly theory because in the past on slower android phones, after I finished recording it would take a few seconds as it "saved" anything more then a few moments of video. I contributed this to holding locally then transferring to external afterwards. In my head, doing it this way would eliminate any pauses in recording caused by what I would imagine would be slower read/write speeds as the primary partition access is faster then the external SD. We would need a dev/programmer with knowledge of these things to confirm/bust this theory. But anyways, back on track, great deal for a big card.

other sites I check daily for these deals is Woot.com and Tanga.com

Tanga is especially known for funny tshirts for dirt cheap. They both have a few deals per day. Sometimes amazing sometimes less than.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
It's a sound theory to me, though I don't 100% agree it does make a lot of sense. Personally I'd chalk it up to having an older phone, I do know what you're talking about my G1 did the exact same thing.

As for speed differences between different classes of SD cards, though it is hotly debated, I've personally did a little seat of the pants bench marking between my class 2, 4, 6 and 10 and in the end my class 10 was only 2 or 3 seconds faster on multiple smaller file transfers, when it came to one large file (such as what you'd expect from a 720p video) the difference was negligible.

As for the main post, it's one heck of a deal. if i hadn't already bought a class 10 i'd jump on this. Heck, I own a tablet, I might still order one.

Also if you want to check out daily deals, check out dodtracker.com. it's a collection of deal sites. its not very pretty, but it does get the job done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Wow, you wern't joking that is ugly. Once I figure out how to navagate it I'm sure it'll be useful. As for my theory, ohwell, it's just a shot in the dark. If anyone's thinking about this card, act now before it's too late, there will be a new deal tomorrow.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Hello. Currently in UK running stock 4.02. On O2. Everywhere I use my phone I get terrible reception and very poor phone quality. I have found a semi solution by turning 3g off and forcing 2g data only but its getting on my nerves now. I have switched 3g back on and today when looking at battery stats my phone has been without a signal for 12% of the day. If I was on 2g I wouldn't have this problem. Is there anything I can do without flashing roms as I am not confident to do this and dont want to. I have worked and lived in the same place for over 5 years and had 2 iPhones and a Nokia n97 and never had any of these issues with these phones so its deffo this phone not my area and provider as that has stayed the same also. Do we think the next Google upgrades to 4.05 or 4.1 or whatever it is will improve this as I can see lots of custom roms which are designed to improve reception etc. P.s. I am not trolling as I LOVE this phone except when I want to use it as a phone! Its great at everything else! Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Have you tried a radio flash? I think XXxxX radios are for europe. The double capital xx designates that. I forgot the other numbers meaning. Honestly this phone isn't going to do as well as a nokia or Motorola but with the right radio it is very acceptable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
If your phone is dropping the entire network then it's a hardware issue and no base band is gonna fix that. Replace your phone if you can. If it's only 4g and 3g you're dropping the 4.0.4 radio is much better. Roms don't affect radio reception by the way.

My phone on giffgaff has reception issues and uses o2's signal, wonder if the is a connection
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
If I leave my phone on 2g all day I don't lose signal and get acceptable reception. If I change phone to 3g I lose connection at work but I had that problem with previous phones also, my office is made of lead! However, when at home I have excellent signal strength but if on 3g I still get awful reception and call quality but if I change to 2g it dramatically improves. This is my second nexus phone, the first one did it also. If I flash or change to a different radio I have to change phone from stock which I don't want to do. Was hoping next upgrade would improve matters but sounds like it won't!

Can I install these to a completely stock phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I don't think so. I think at the least you need unlocked bootloader. Also, if you do decide to flash a radio fastboot is the safest way. People will say clockwork recovery works fine but all it takes is one bad radio flash to brick your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Exactly why I am staying stock!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
But if you use fastboot, it won't flash it if something wrong. Clockwork will flash it. It's rare somebody bricks flashing a radio with clockwork. And usually it is wrong radio. I don't recall anybody bricking with fastboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
its really not that hard, like @rbiter said use fastboot. try UGKL1 radio, it worked a lot better than my stock radio. im curious have you had any dropped or missed called because of the reception? the reason i ask is because im in a similar situation like yours. i get about 10% time without signal too but when i look at the Mobile network signal in the battery's History details it shows a solid signal with no red marks indication no signal. im just a bit confused how it says it was 9% without signal but my history shows it always has a signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wirelessgirl:
Is this a common issue with Samsung devices? I know they don't have strong radios. I was planning on getting the GNex, but now I'm not so sure. I don't want to root the phone. Would you guys still recommend the GNex knowing I don't plan on unlocking the bootloader and keeping it stock?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
its not the phone...

having issues too with Vodafone. happened a few months ago with my old phone. you should consider checking the support forums for your network before blaming the phone, but you can try on a different phone to see if its the same or not
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
the galaxy nexus has better reception than my old Samsung captivate but not as good a some other phones like Motorola. it's only really an issue if you are in a bad coverage area or certain spots in the house that doesn't get good penetration. Your really need to root the phone at least to install a better radio. For some reason the stock radio that came with my Fido galaxy nexus was horrible and would of made the phone unacceptable for me. Rooting and flashing stuff on on the nexus is the easiest ive seen in a phone esp with all the dev support, it's a great phone to learn on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wirelessgirl:
Thanks for responding. I heard the Captivate was really bad. The problem is, I bought the extended warranty from Best Buy, so if I get the GNex, I'll be adding it on my extended warranty. If something goes wrong with the GNex, Best Buy checks to see if the phone has been rooted. Apparently they have been trained to check now. So I don't want to take the risk if that is the case.

I get pretty good 3G coverage in my area. It can get conguested at times and if the device has a weak radio, I will lose 3G. It happened a few times when I had the Nexus S. Never happened with any of the Motorola's I had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
OK, where would I find ugkl1 radio firmware and fast boot? I presume if I download fast boot it should come with some instructions? If I'm just flashing a radio, will I still get ota updates and will settings etc remain on my phone? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
you can relock the bootloader and flash the stock image from google and unroot the phone if you need to return it. i dont know if i the galaxy nexus has some kind of flash counter but most likely the best buy employee will just go into bootloader screen and check if the bootloader is locked or not. I never bought a phone from bestbuy or futureshop so i cant say for sure.

here's the thread for all the radios, try a few people have luck with different ones and they are really easy to flash once you have everything set up. The hardest part is going to be setting up the drivers, androidSDK, and fastboot but once you do you can use it for all your future phones just have to install the right drivers. here's a good guide to set everything up posted in this thread. Flash with fastboot instead of using CWM when possible, fastboot is much safer and you will need to know how to use it to go back to stock. I wouldnt worry about OTA once you unlock the boot, you can always just flash the OTA update which will be posted here or on google's site or just flash back to stock to receive the ota update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wirelessgirl:
Is that easy to do? I never unlocked a bootloader before. The Nexus One I bought, the bootloader was already unlocked but not rooted. I did root my Nexus One, but only once. I know Best Buy will go into the bootloader screen and check if it's unlocked or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Iain 89:
I'm in the UK and I am also on O2-UK I've did have a few issues with weak 3g signals until I rooted and flashed the XXKL1 radio on my GNex using fast boot and that greatly improved my signal issue I now have no problems. Im no expert but I'd stick with XX radios as they are intended for Europe. And the XXKL1 is the latest radio for our region. Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
Where in the UK are you? A good phone shop should be able to flash a radio for you. Even if it is unlock boot loader flash radio then lock it back up for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
OK. Thanks for help and advice. If I flash the radio via fast boot, when I unlock phone will I lose all my data and settings? This new xx radio, will they ever get released ota in firmware updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
It should come with the next update yes. I think it came with the 4.0.3 update that was pulled for the gnex as an OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
if you know thats all the best buy employee will do then its not a problem you can change it back to stock and the bootloader screen will look exactly like factory stock. i had to reset to stock to do an warranty exchange with Fido and it took about 5mins. The fido rep didnt check any of that stuff though.

flashing radios will not loose any settings or data. i just flashed UGLA4, its the newest radio. Seems really good so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoniKickAHoleInTheSky:
Between HW/SW/Carrier

So based on my research of all this signalling issues, You can either have an issue with your Phone, your radio load not tuned to your area like others can be, and the carrier itself.

Things to note:

Source of many people in the US with LTE issues

The link above contains discussion of people replacing their phone and what most think the colors represent on the graph (Highest to Lowest Quality Green-Grey-Yellow-BrightYellow-Red)

My Gnexus was on 4.0.1

product name: tuna

variant: maguro

HW version 9

Bootloader: primekk14

Baseband: i9250UGKL1

From other posts on the XDA forums:

XXYZN

XX - > Region / Network / Carrier (XX = Europe || UG = North America)

Y - > Release Year (K = 2011 || L = 2012)

Z - > Release Month (K = November || C = March )

N - > Version Number (1 = Revision 1)

The 4.0.4 I flashed yesterday put me on radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img, which is much better than the UGKL1 I had on. I bought my phone in Canada and I'm not in Sweden for business...

Lastly, your Carrier makes a big difference as their coverage for the various wireless standards will make or break your experience. Don't entirely blame Google or Samsung as I know Bell is MUCH worse than Roger in Ottawa for instance. The goes for LTE, where the coverage is still week in the US...

Excellent posting by EFRANT to flash you ICS to 4.0.4... He has more links in his signature worth noting.
