[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I made a thread about this a few weeks ago and never got an answer. basically it's tmobile and the app itself that needs to be fixed, and there isn't a single ICS rom that it works on, I don't care what the rom chef says. For me I just turn it off immediately when I flash a new rom as it has never once worked for me during a call.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
You have to wait until T-Mobile releases their ics update for the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I could be wrong but I have a feeling that the problem is caused by one of two reasons. One being that the app it self is really not fully compatible with ICS yet. Or, and I feel this is the more likely the reason, the kernel has been changed for ICS causing the WiFi calling app to not be able to function properly, meaning the kernel has to be reworked. I feel like this and maybe a couple of other kernel issues is why TMOUS has not started pushing out the OTA yet.

I am running arhd and wifi calling works like a charm. So its hit or miss.
[HTC Sensation] mrbkkt1:
+1, arhd, and my WiFi calling works. I rarely use it though .
[HTC Sensation] merwin:
I am on ARHD as well with no joy. I mean, occasionally I can get a call out on my Bluetooth, and my phone always rings, but usually won't go any further... multiple WiFi access points tested at various places. SMS and MMS are flawless, so I have been tolerating it.

In any case, I find it hard to believe it is working 100% for anyone yet.

Question for those who say it is working... after you end a call does the WiFi calling icon disappear for 20 seconds or so, then come back? Or after making a call the second one will hang with a green icon, then disappear and reappear again? If so, those are signs that the application is crashing and being restarted.

And if those aren't happening and WiFi calling is truly working, please post what WiFi router and internet provider you are using...

WiFi calling has multiple ways of getting out to the internet, some of which are kind of clever... to the point where it will work on most Aruba WiFi systems that use a captive portal...

At the college I work at, the Aruba technician doing an upgrade on our devices had to spend a good 30 minutes figuring out how it was bypassing the captive portal so he could block it.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Good luck finding somebody who will answer you with this, I tried in my own thread and never got a satisfactory answer. There are a few people as you see in this thread who claim it works great but I've never seen anybody explain exactly what their specific setup is. I'd like to know if it has anything to do with the router and/or type of wifi network you are on, the rom, the kernel....so many different variables. I'm like you, I just don't see how it could work 100% for somebody if so many others do NOT have working wifi calling.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Because annoying things like that happen. Gps is funky for me on all cyanogen builds, but works perfectly for everyone else, for example. Only works once per boot up. Freaky...but im the only one.

The fact is the updated version of the apk isnt out yet for wifi calling. So you have to be patient. Those of us who have it working might just be lucky. It happens.
[HTC Sensation] M9x3mos:
Works for text and mms

Calls fail and app drops out for me

[HTC Sensation] M9x3mos:
Has anyone found a ics build with sense that works with wifi calling?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
The major issue is kineto_gan.ko a module in /system/lib/module

It is one of the main files needed to run WiFi Calling. The problem is it is Gingerbread base and kind of like when you port items from one sense to another it doesn't play so well.

The secondary issue is there isn't anything on TMO with ICS yet until the One S comes out and with a lot of more recent phones TMOUS patches in the WiFi calling at a later time so we can't really extract it from there either (yet).

Then brings in the issue of WiFi encryption, setups, and so on that mess with the way the call is carried through the network to properly register to TMO.

So it is like others have said. Some people will have good luck some wont. At home mine gets texts just fine but calls I can't rely on it and won't until Tmobile gets us a version we can use.
[HTC Sensation] M9x3mos:
Yeah I think even when the one s comes out even though won't be helpful either. That will probably have the newer IMS wifi calling like the amaze does and not be compatible because that is more reliant on hardware supposedly and if nothing else needs a newer sim.

May need to wait till there is a offical rom update relased from T-Mobile.
[HTC Sensation] Prophet621:
I haven't had reliable wifi calling in any ROM in at least the last 6 months. Would work fine and then crash, requiring a reboot to fix only to repeat the process. Sometimes that crash took 2 minutes and sometimes 30.

With the ICS builds I've been trying it's always closer to 2 minutes but text works fine. It's been rough since I rely on the wifi calling because of the weak signal when I'm at home. I'm expecting it will be much more reliable when T-Mobile releases the official Sensation build which they sent back to HTC,... because of the wifi problem from what I've heard.
[HTC Sensation] achusaysblessyou:
Lucky I found this thread (thank you Google), I thought i was having a bad time with calls dying after 5 minutes or so, but from what I hear from you guys, guess I've got it good (just gotta make sure I'm not on wifi calling during an important call). Although, i really wished it worked well for voice calls as I'm always within different buildings and no guarantee of signal in there (same for my apartment). SMS & MMS work fine though

I'm running latest ARHD (ICS) btw. Although some of this problem might be due to the devices themselves different config, etc.
[HTC Sensation] DJCodeBlue:
I'm using Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.1 and WiFi calling works perfectly fine with fast connection. It didn't work so well for me on ARHD
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
It's hit or miss. Not much in between. Stick with gb if you want WiFi calling to work. That's what I have to do. People on here act like you're crazy to want WiFi callinh to work.
[HD2 General] naimlki:
Hi everybody..

I discovered the problem few months ago, when my HD2 shut down spontaneously ! I thought for a while that the battery is empty, even though i was charging it in the same morning, when I turned it on, it worked but with a reduced battery reserve and a previous date and time..

that problem repeated infrequently, until last week, i discovered my HD2 stuck at the boot screen (the white screen with htc written in the middle) and it was unresponsive until I removed the battery, then i rebooted the phone and it was installing windows for new, as if I did hard reset.

when the phone was connected to pc for backing up my data, it became stuck for new, and i had to remove the battery , but it made an auto - hard reset when rebooting.

I thought it might be due to charging from USB , so I repeated the backup process while disabling that choice, eventually the process completed without problems, but when i rebooted the phone after installing an application, it became stuck again and the tragedy happened for a second time..

I tried to install another ROM but the problem persists to happen, it was not related to installing new application .. the last time that happened was three days ago when i was emptying the battery, so i charged it while the phone is off and when i turned it on it made a self- hard reset ! after that it never happened again. but now the problem is when i turn the phone off and remove the battery for few seconds the time is going back and the battery reserve is reduced/increased to the last time i removed the battery ..

Is that problem related to the end of life for the battery ? or it is due to the charging circuit ??
[HD2 General] Philipp_94:
control the 3 pins at the battery

try a new battery (not expensive)

if that didnt solve the problem, go to a repair-shop and explain the problem again, may they can help u
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced this:

On the default ICS keyboard (in any ICS ROM that I've tried), the keys sometimes get stuck and won't press when I tap on them. So, for example, sometimes "A" refuses to work when I tap on it, so I have to bring the keyboard up again for it to work.

It's a weird bug that happens randomly, any ideas?
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
Does this happen on all apps or just specific ones?
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
It's happened in pretty much any app that requires some sort of typing.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
I did face it too, but not on 6.2

On some of the previous versions and at all times a change of kernel did the trick.
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
I only ever had this issue with the Tapatalk app and it didn't matter which kb I used. Have you tried another kb app?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] techjunkie702:
When I run tests on my gtab p6800 it says it only has one core. And it is supposed to have two as far as I know. Can anyone confirm how many and how to check
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Rest assured, the P6800 is dual core. What testing app are you using? Not all are optimized to run properly or detect multiple cores.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
Try downloading systempanel app from the market. It will detect both cores.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] techjunkie702:
one that i used was quadrant standard edition i dont remember the others i deleted them
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Quadrant is a bit finicky on Exynos chips. It was always better optimized to run on Qualcomm chips. That's why reviewers always say that benchmarks right now are still a terrible indicator of a device's everyday performance.

This question was so important you had to ask it twice? Anyway, there is a thread like this everyday. Same answer for all.... It's user preference. Just because I like something doesn't mean you will
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dshah37:
It'd get deleted from General section (sorry I am new), which is why I reposted it here.

I really don't care about the cosmetics. The only thing I want is all the features working properly, and have wifi tethering and good battery life. Any ROMs that do these?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Well most likely your gonna wanna stay away from ICS builds as it's not official and other experience different battery life, but if you want it I suggest mijjz ICS Blend, he keeps it supported greatly. As for a GB rom I suggest either calkulins e4gt rom or blazer rom 4.0 (themed like ics). Both are extremely stable, and calkulins rom includes a battery saver script for great batter life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sottey:
If you want ALL features working, you will need to go with a stock rom, and it wont be ICS cause there isnt an official release (notifications issue is an ICS issue, not the custom rom's).

If you want wifi tethering, stock wont work for you. So I would recommend you look at the gingerbread roms. Caulkin's el29 is a good one. Not sure it has tethering though.

There are apps you can buy that will get you tethering, so maybe stock gingerbread + a paid app will meet your needs.

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
I read:

"very new to the concept of rooting and flashing ROMS"

and

"Haven't flashed any kernels yet (confused about that)"

And think "You should

Not Be Flashing ANYthing ICS based, at All!

"

You could be headed straight to hardbrickland, one way ticket.

Like mentioned in the two previous posts, I would stay away from anything ICS based right now, not only because they have a few issues, at best, but mostly because of the bricks people are getting when playing around with them while not readoing direction Very Carefully and not being familiar with flashing techniques on this phone. If you are going to play with them, be Very Familiar with ODIN and sfhubs OCs, Know Your Kernals, Read Every Damn Thing about the restore process, watch all of QBKing's videos on flashing/restoring re: the ICS stuff, read the sticky thread in general "How To Not Brick our E4GT"...

Like many people have mentioned throughout the threads recent, ICS is nice, but it being unstable many people, even experienced flashoholics, are returning to GB (read as: EL29 stock restore by sfhub) for stability until an official release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dshah37:
Will get back to GB. THANKS A LOT for your help bro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Good choice Odin back to stock and in the future try and not ask the same questions countless others have asked at least be original and always do your homework before flashing.... This is serious business up in herrrre....LOL

Rookies Beware - good luck guy

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xlr8me:
Hey all,

Just recently bought a 2nd hand Samsung galaxy s i-9000.

My sim card here in oz uses 900/18002G/gsm and 900/21003G.

However, I am having problems connecting to the 900Mhz band for 2G and 3G networks in this phone.

When I go into service mode of phone *#*#0011#*#* I can see the bands it uses under automatic

showing

gsm

850*

900*

1800*

1900*

wcdma

2100*

1900*

900

850*

I also went into the service menu under version info and have seen this

CP sw version i9000 UGJK4

FTA sw version I9000M.001

Does this mean this is an 850Mhz phone for wcdma and is the Canadian Galaxy S version or the i9000m model? Can any experts gurus confirm this?

Interestingly I cannot get 900Mhz 2G at all or call out on this frequency instead getting 1800Mhz as the only gsm band to work with my sim card.

TIA to all expert replies.

XLR80r :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xlr8me:
Ok,

Discovered the solution hope this helps others getting into the brilliant Galaxy S phone.

This link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1377042

shows that the OP had the same issues as me. So I did what he said and flashed the signed CM7 version of JVT onto the phone with clockwork recovery 3 button press.

The previous modem was utilising the 850Mhz and that is not compatible with my sim card as certain bands were blocked.

Now going into the service menu I see the JVT baseband modem and furthermore all the GSM are * and for the wcdma

2100*

1900*

900*

850

note the 850 is not ticked anymore and I confirmed in basic information that the gsm 900Mhz now works..

Woooooooooooooooooooooooott I am excited phone now works properly with my sim carrier. Seems like the previous owner was using the Telstra network on this phone.

I've just unlocked my rezound and i'm trying to root via my mac. i downloaded the amonra recovery and put it in my android folder. i've got my phone rebooted and i'm in the fastboot usb menu. i have bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down as options.

a little help?
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
maybe i'm just not meant to root my phone :-(
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
On mine the command was ./fastboot recovery recovery.img as long as you are in fastboot in the bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Since you're in fastboot usb, make sure the recovery image is in the android tools folder containing fastboot.exe. The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes and recovery.img being the name of the image file you put in your android tools folder.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
Damn knew i was missing something lol well said.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
alright, got amonra installed with the right path and all, went to dev options, installed su & superuser, rebooted, i see superuser, but NOTHING is getting root access.... titanium backup, file explorer... nothing.

so, i don't think it's really rooted. sigh.

if it makes a difference, i was on the ICS leak prior to all this. make a difference?
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
Not really sure are you on stock right now or did you flash a rooted Rom?
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
stock right now, no rooted rom.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Have you rebooted since rooting through Amon and installing SU? If that doesn't solve it, installing one of the rooted ROMs should.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
I concur lol:D
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
Suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
I would just flash a prerooted Rom thats what I did with mine installed the root user access from amonra didn't work for me. You gonna go with GB or ICS?
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
I would prefer ICS.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
I would read up on BAMF ICS or Cleanrom ICS and follow the steps to flash as long as you are on the new firmware. There are others but those are the ones that I've tried I'm currently on BAMF.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
BAMF looks more straightforward. waiting for a response on a question over there.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
What did you need to know?
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
it *appears* that i'm ready to flash. there are two files that i've downloaded. one is a rom, the other a kernal. i'm trying to figure out which is which and what my next steps are.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
here are the instructions, and i'm wondering how important the nandroid backup is, since i'm basically starting fresh.

Download rom file and PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip

Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip to "PH98IMG.zip" without the quotes

Place both files on external SD card and reboot to recovery

Make a nandroid backup

Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system

Flash the rom through the "Flash Zip Menu" in recovery

From main recovery screen, choose "Developer Menu"

Select "Reboot to Bootloader" from the developer menu

Phone will reboot to hboot, you may have to select bootloader from hboot screen

Bootloader will load the PH98IMG.zip, select "Yes" to update.

Rock on with your bad self and reboot system
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
The one with BAMF in the title is typically the Rom and the kernel would either be oldfirmwarepeople.zip or newfirmwarepeople.zip this file has to be renamed as PH98IMG.zip and place on the ext sd card. Then in amon-ra wipe everything and flash the rom zip then from the developer menu boot into bootloader and let it apply the kernel update then it will reboot then profit.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
do you see any issues with following the directions above?
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
Thats how I did it two nights ago...what are your file names?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

didn't refresh and see your last post those directions you have are correct lol.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
BAMFupdate.zip and PH98IMG.zip
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
Yep that's right.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
Flash using the steps you listed they are a bit more detailed than mine.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
when i put those two files on my card, it wants to do an update before i can get into recovery. i'm a little confused.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
What method are you using to boot into recovery?
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
vol down + power, from there i would choose recovery, but it goes right to that zip file, so i can't.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
Thats gonna take you to the bootloader and with a PH98IMG file on the sdcard it wont let you access from there you may have to use the command "abd reboot recovery" in fastboot unless you can do that trick that some have mentioned on here where you slide the sdcard till its almost falling out and make sure the battery is still making contact with the prongs then use the vol down + power to get to bootloader from there then go into recovery then carefully slide sd card back in without having the battery break contact to flash the necessary files. I've been able to use both methods with success.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
okay, any idea how to use that command on a mac?

ETA: yeah, tried sliding the card out. no dice.
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
On the mac in fastboot from the command window type "abd devices" and if it sees your phone it should show it then you can type "abd reboot recovery" to get to recovery.
[HTC Rezound] brewner:
wait, got it :-)

flashing bamf right now.

Ehi guys!

I hope to write in a good english, because i'm italian.

I have an Xperia Arc and i'm not so Happy about it.

I'm going to explain why :

Before receiving this Arc, I had a htc hd2.

I was pretty happy, I had no problems whatsoever.

But now, with this Arc'm having a relationship not too happy because it is slow!

I installed several rom, The Arconium ics V5, V8 the ginger, the SEMC and other.

But I always have the same problem, as I listen to music, the phone slows down significantly, and if I try to run 3 apps simultaneously as WhatsApp, Music, Browser, the phone lags and becomes UNUSABLE.

If I get a call it, the screen remains black and I can not answer.

Well, maybe it's a ram problem?

Becomes really impossible to use, slow and I have to restart the phone.

also with the supercharger, is not good.

the phone has no hardware problems, so do not know what to think ..

If any of you could give me his opinion, I would be happy.

Thanks, I hope I was understandable.
