[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ck2323:
Sorry if this has been asked, but I have not been able to find a solid answer yet. Can I install " [ROM]UCLC2 Official ICS "Leak" I777 (3-27-12)" on my S2 with the baseband version UCKK6 and be alright? I had an incident where I put a kernel that wiped my wifi capabilities a while back and wasn't sure if it was because it contained a different baseband. I'm not sure on which modems/basebands I should stay away from?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Any UC baseband will work on our phone. Baseband ONLY affects cell data and voice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ck2323:
Oh I see, Thank you for clarifying!!! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shammyh:
That would seem to be true, since the modem.bin "image" is really just a mini-kernel and real-time OS (ThreadX I believe) loaded by the modem and only talks to Android via the RIL abstraction layer.

But on the Captivate, when using an i9000 ROM (similar to the use of i9100 ROMs here) you actually had to use an i9000 modem too. In fact the rule generally was, the modem had to match the kernel, as we had separate kernels for i9000 and i897 ROMs. This of course opened up many more options since the international variants inevitably have many more modems available. Point is, on the Hummingbird platform, the modem/kernel (and usually ROM) were somehow interdependent on each other. Maybe due to quirks specific to the RIL in each? Or maybe something else? No idea, and not sure that anyone ever bothered to figure it out. (Why people aren't more intrigued about trying to "hack" the modem binary is beyond me. I don't care if my phone violates the law or gives me cancer as long as I get better reception and data speeds... :-) )

Any ideas as to why this wasn't the case with the i777?

In particular on the Captivate, running a mismatched modem would result in voice calls not working properly, though data would usually work, which isn't all that dissimilar from what happens on the i777 with a mismatched modem/kernel/ROM combo.

Just looking for any solution that would let us run i9100 modems on the i777 in particular since there is no proper way to adjust the bands selected by the modem. Aka, that whole stupid RAT restricted bull**** business that AT&T seem to enforce on the UCXXX modems.

Thanks in advance!

And PS, I'm not kernel developer (though I am studied in C/C++), but if you pointed me in the right direction as to where I might be able to find some useful RIL debug output, I'd be willing to pour through some logs looking for anything interesting.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I think that in the case of the I9000 vs. I897, the modem/CPU audio interface may have been entirely controllable by software.

On I9100 vs. I777, there appears to be some hardware in between we don't have control over. As a result:

An I9100 modem on I777 results in no audio regardless of kernel.

An I9100 kernel on I777 results in no audio regardless of modem. I know this end of things - one of the digital I/O channels is set up very differently on I777. Master instead of slave I2S (or was it the other way around?), 16 kHz sample rate instead of 8, and a few other settings are different.

There might be something about that "in between" block we don't know about and can control with the right knowledge, but right now - there's an unknown black box somewhere and it prevents I9100 modem firmwares from providing call audio.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L1ndon:
I tried to unroot my desire, its being collected tomorrow for warranty repairs. I seem to be stuck with the 4 exclamation marks and the htc logo

when I try and flash the vodafone RUU which I thought my phone was, I get CustomerID error.

I tried a couple of other Europe and WWE roms and I get 140 bootloader error - I dont think Ill be able to make a gold card from here (can I)

any suggestions late night people?

bortak's useful troubleshooting guide
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L1ndon:
Thanks for the link - its a great guide, I could have done with it in the wee hours last night.

So I fixed it this morning, with only 40 mins to spare until collection time for warranty repair.

Here's what happened in case its of use to anyone else, same kind of problems

I didnt know you had to downgrade your alpharev s-off before returning to stock , I was running cm7 r2 version. (I still cant find the definitive answer on this, but I think you do - I only vaguley know what it does, enough to get in trouble)...

When I tried to run the RUU uk vodafone, without downgrading s-off, I got an error saying the RUU file was corrupt or it couldnt write the file. (Maybe because the Ram was distributed differently not enough space)...anyway it didnt work and I got stuck at the screen with four exclamation marks (4 !) in the corner, though when I unplugged it went to the white bootloader screen, which said bootloader version 0.00.000

I read somewhere to change s-off and managed to do that via fastboot commander, but then when I tried the RUU it stopped because Customer ID was wrong.

I tried several different RUU's just in case, but most of them gave an Incorrect bootloader error, and the vodafone ones gave the CID error.

I couldnt make a goldcard easily because I no longer had a phone, but by morning I found someone with an android phone... and managed to make a goldcard (which certainly wasnt without its difficulties, but was worth it). Just in case you find yourself in the same position, to make a goldcard the easy way, you need a phone, BUT ANY ANDROID will do, it dosent have to be your own, the numbers needed are from the sd card not the phone.

I then tried the early vodafone RUU again, same bootloader error, presumably something to do with how early a version it was, then tried a later version, and it worked.

I've never been so happy to see an electronic device booting up... 40 mins before the collection man was due (he still hasnt come though lol - 4 hours later)

I wrote this just to close the thread, and in case anyone had similar difficulties.
[Dell Streak 7] DellS7:
Dell streak 7 4g T-Mobile branded rooted Dec 18th and has worked great.

2.2.2

Baseband version 11.809.05.03.00 <--- says unknown now

Kernel version 2.6.32.9

OEM Version GLUNB1A133633

Build Number 15420.

Around the time "play store" came out. my tablet developed a problem.

Anything I do change settings, install/uninstall apps, factory reset, rom upgrade/downgrade when it is turned back on it reverts back to having apps that I deleted and airplane mode will be on and the time will be wrong.

I have used fastboot to flash, back to the factory rom's and the tablet will say it was successful then upon rebooting it will be back to having my user data and the same rom's intact.

Is there some sort of partition not listed here That I can flash to erase my personal data and get it going again

Oops . Sounds like you have run into the Read Only problem. Only fix is to send it back to Dell
[Xoom Themes and Apps] au1xr6:
Hi All,

I have an Australian Wifi Xoom - i recently GEDified it and updated it to the latest US ICS build.

One thing I miss from when i had the stock OS that came with my Xoom is the File explorer.

will it be possible for someone to upload the Apk for it? My device has not been rooted as i want to keep it as stock as possible.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Geeba:
Astro file explorer... I use that... its great.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Meteor Bear:
Sorry to bring this topic back, but has anyone got a XOOM stock file manager app file I could download?

I'd really appreciate that!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ahmed007:
I don't think so there is a stock file explorer for zoom use 3rd party file explorer astro or some other
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DavilaDarkness:
I know this is old but I've tried it. I made a backup of the File Manager from my Xoom with stock honeycomb and installed it on 4.1 and it crashes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] brewer75:
File Manager

I've tried Astro but have been using File Manager HD for a while and I like it for its simplicity. It can be used on rooted or non-rooted devices (just look at the settings menu for root capabilities).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkshadow1997:
hey guys i have been wondering this question for a while but what is so great about the ics update anyway,can you tell me why everyone loves it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fida khan:
hi, yeah it's starting to become a pet peeve of mine as well i feel. i'm on stock gb 2.3.5 and i'm glad i haven't downgraded to ics on my gs2 (Three network uk).

what's the point? no big changes , you loser app compatibility for the foreseeable future anyway) and it takes more than 200 megs of space.

but my major reason for not updating or downgrading to ics is because I've read somewhere that it's not good on battery consumption. also it's not the FULL MONTY as well! WTF!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
I tried it for a day, disliked how it connects to the pc as a phone not storage device.

Im on GB, and its more reliable also when ics hung it took a while to tell me the program crashed then the app behind it would be reported as not responding also, by then i would have turned the display off and do something else

ICS will be great when mods play with it, the performance is great and its all smooth,i guess dual core has been improved.

The battery life wasnt better due to bloatware running in the background,exchange email was running without any email given

sent from my nokia 3310
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aouni_tahech:
For me, I think the official ICS still lacks many performance issues. Should wait for a while before a couple more updates are released.

CM9 however seems more promising.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Hello. So this is my 6th GNexus that I received today, because I just seem to be getting phones with the same dark screen (in my eyes they are dark). This is at 25% brightness.

Or maybe I'm used to my first brand new one that was just perfect to me? It was naturally bright. The current one I have seems good, but the keyboard is darker and in the notification greys and browser bar grays u can notice the color differences. When I go to a website that's background is reddish/organish it's pretty noticeable there.

As of me typing this, I spoke to Verizon and said if on my 7th GNexus (next one coming Thursday 3/29) had the same issue with the screen they'd be consulting it with Samsung to see if it's a software issue or the LED inside the screen is messed up or something.

Thanks. So how would you describe a "good" screen? Pictures appreciated, just making sure I don't have one that's fine and I'm freaking out about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroBarrier:
Are you for real or just trolling?

Seriously? Complaining about a dark screen when you have the brightness set to 25%? The screen is supposed to be dark the lower you set the brightness at; that's just common sense, geez...

I think I've finally decided to stop coming to XDA. Coming to these forums just gives me a headache now. All the absolutely idiotic threads/posts by what seem to be either trolls or complete retards. /endrant
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
I'm for real.

It's at 25% brightness and I've held not one but two GNex in my hands that looked fine at 25%. Something is wrong.

If the forums give you a headache and you can't tell the difference between trolling and reality, welcome to the interwebz. /endrant.

Maybe the thread wasn't completely necessary, but there's the occasional decent person that likes to input on the situation.

Let's start by clearing your headache, you didn't need to reply, if it was a "idiotic thread by a troll or compete retard". Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Let's look at the one constant between all 7 phones, you. I've got one guess where the problem is located.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Okay, thanks. I appreciate you coming forth with a more reasonable reply.

In case I'm still being looked upon as a troll, does anyone know the symptoms for a "bad" screen? I searched and read the thread about what's okay and not for a Galaxy Nexus screen but seems like I have some good stuff and some bad stuff, which is confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
User error. Obviously.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
So I'm guessing you've had a look at the sticky on this forum? I don't see what's so confusing about it? You either have unattainable expectations on what the screen 'should' be or your the most unlucky person ever. There's no way 7 devices in a row would be faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Yeah, you got me thinking now, anyway here are some pictures, while I'm not a pro photographer I tried my best as I was in a hurry. These are taken from an HTC Thunderbolt. (25% brightness) These look right?

Anything odd in the color of the yellow coins in Temple Run?

Red and Brown seem odd to any of you?

Keyboard, here's where I really think it's a bit dark, look behind the keys. This is a screenshot but if the issue shows even in the Android OS Screenshot.. isn't that an issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
i think a visit to your friendly neighborhood eye doctor will do wonders. or an eyepatch so the looks you get won't be so bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Ehh a nice amount of sarcasm there but, that can mean 2 things good or bad, so you think it's alright?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Looks fine. I've seen pictures that were easily worse.

Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Okay, thanks huge sigh of relief.

So the other ones I had that were brighter, were just different screens but they weren't bad (nor was this one)? Right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] user_error:
Looks just fine to me.

You have the brightness at 25% though? If the screen on another one looked fine at 25% (maybe a demo in the store?) maybe you should think about the lighting where you used it. If it was inside and fine at 25% but you are using yours outside at 25% then that is likely the problem. The brightness needs to be higher in brighter rooms / brighter days.

Try setting it to auto and see if it works fine for you that way. If it does, then you are using it as intended AND it works for you, so no worries. Remember, it is an AMOLED display and is designed to be more power efficient than other displays, so having it on auto should be just fine.

I personally set mine to 20% on another phone (totally different type of display, though the backlight itself might be similar, IDK) and its fine until a bit of sunlight hits it. I then switch it back to auto when I exit a building or enter a place with those obnoxiously bright halogen lights.

I suspect that is the issue you are having, how you are using it vs how it is designed to be used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
I know what you mean. But the 3rd GNex and the first I had, everything on the phone was literally brighter on 25% brightness. So I guess every phone has a different screen? (The phones with working/good) screens.

What I mean by "brighter" is for example the background of the keyboard set when your going to type a message, it varies a lot in brightness from phone to phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DemonicMember:
I have had my SGH-1727r since it launched and it is my first Android Phone. I am doing some traveling and Rogers will not unlock a device under contract, and in my experience give you the run around if its off contract.

I read many forums on here and a few google searches, and decided to go with cellunlock . net and selected unlock any rogers phone. They wanted $18, another google search and I have a coupon code "android50" and got 50% off my rogers android phone.

I paid $8 and change, less than 12 hours later I have my code. Instructions give 4 ways to do it. The only way that works is with another sim (I used an ancient Fido sim) Insert the non rogers sim, enter code, VIOLA!

I hope this helps other beginners.

The whole process was about 30 minutes.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] georgebest:
On my previous galaxy s+ , I had connected my facebook contacts and their facebook photos with the contacts I had on the phone. So next to each contact there was a photo from facebook. How can I do this on sxs??? Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
You have to sync your contacts with facebook.. to do that do the following:

1.) In Facebook App go to Settings and at the bottom you can choose to sync with all facebook friends, existing contacts or none, choose existing contacts.

2.) Now you have to go to Settings > Account & Syncronization and create a new Facebook in Xperia Account. Now put on Auto-Sync and go into the Facebook inside Xperia account, there you have to tick the boxes away you don't want to use.

So after buying the Xperia S was disappointed to learn that I just cant plug it into my PC and have it appear as another drive on my computer like all my other 5-6 android phones I have owned.

I had to download Sony Bridge for Mac so that I can copy files and synch my music... the only problem is I have been trying for about 8-10 hours to synch some music .. and it always seems to hang.. part way through.and then when I try to eject the phone it seems to have lost comms with the phone... Anyone got the same problem as me?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Reds4ever:
I had this issue as well... What I had to do was figure out the song it was hanging on and then eject the phone, uncheck the song that hangs and then start again. It would then sync from the point forward. There were two songs out of 442 that I had that hung. No idea why.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kiwiandy:
unfortunately I am trying to sync playlists so I cant identify which track it is hanging on.. but even with just a small playlist with 30 songs it still hangs.

It doesnt seem to hang when transferring photos or videos, but very disappointing I cant easily transfer my music.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zanndoth:
The sync function doesn't seem to work properly. It always hangs. And if you try to sync playlist, you will realised that only 8 songs will eb copied over for each albums/playlist. After that it just hang endlessly.

Copying the files/songs manually via the phone browser works. But the browser is kinda retarded. And copying playlist manually doesn't add the playlist to your media player!!!

I did report the issue to Sony Mobile forum but i wasn't able to post any update since the reset password isn't working.

It will help if everyone report the problem to them directly as well >> http://talk.sonymobile.com/community/support/xperia_2012_family/xperia_s

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] d.iverieli:
Do you have Mac right? Then download and install app iSyncr for Mac and then iSyncr WiFi after you need to install iSyncr server on your mac and after that you don't need any other apps or device managers to transfer or sync your musics or videos.

Those apps will works flawlessly and will sync all your musics and videos from your iTunes. Its so easy and works almost all android devices with mac.

Have the same problem here...

OS X 10.7, Early 2011 Macbook Pro

I plugged my Xperia S in, and tried to sync my old iPhone playlist. No luck, stuck at around 60%.

At first I thought it was because some of my songs in that playlist are AIFF, so I opened another playlist for Xperia S, convert everything in the iPhone playlist to MP3 and give it another go. Still no good. Stuck at around 20%, only about a hundred songs were copied when I have about 700.

Is there any good/free option that can just simply let me mount the phone into SD card mode or whatever and drag-and-drop files into the internal memory?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MaLt-:
The transfer is really slow.. I tried transferring 2 playlists from itunes which each contains 100+ songs. It really tooked a while.. Maybe around 30 minutes.
