Hello fellows!

Since I installed an ICS rom my bluetooth stop working with my car. I can pair it, but I can not connect it.

With my old ROM 3.3.5 (I think..) there were no problem, since it was paired it connected automaticly every time I entered the car.

I already tried many ICS rom's of this site without sucess...

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] VibrantWind:
Hey all,

I recently got my hands on a HTC Sensation. Did the usual S-Off, install CWM and Root. Now the problem is I always get stuck on a bootloop after flashing a custom ROM. I'm not much of a noob having owned 4 other Android devices including the Incredible S. I do the usual Format, Wipe data, Factory reset, wipe cache + Dalvik. I use the 4ext touch recovery and my device is currently on 2.3.4 Stock GB. Already tried flashing ORDroidV2.0.2 and Smartdroid and on both i ended up having to Nandroid cause of bootloops. Is it because i'm on 2.3.4?

Help please. and Thank you in advance :)
[HTC Sensation] VibrantWind:
Wow thank you for the very detailed guide. I'll let you know how it goes. Once again thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hunterhp:
Hey just wanted to make a thread for people to post their benchmark screens and maybe we can compare them to GB ROMS and see the difference.

Here are a few screens from the antutu benchmark app

Here's from quadrant
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EpicPie:
I tried out Raver's blackedition ICS port, I would score 3600~ish(1.5Ghz stock) on Quadrant. I flashed back to GB though due to how glitchy the ROM felt to me and lack of wifi calling and flash.

On GB I score around 2800~ stock speeds.

Can't wait for a stable release of ICS. haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] droid75:
I got around 3800-3900 quadrant on Easydoesit ICS around 3200 on Tuesday GB (my DD).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
Scores mean nothing.....don't know why this is even cared about
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Melon_Bread:
Agreed, and I already thought there was a benchmark thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] khanzoy:
Im Using IML74K_ICS PERFECTION and my score is 3897 the best fast cool ics rom for T989

Belive me its reall cool rotation problem is with every rom but u can fix it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Muff Burner:
Yes, there is. This is for ICS roms as indicated in the OP title.....

A fixed version has been out for a few days already man, with the patch already applied to the ROM. I'm running it now and getting 4000's easy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suncrm:
The ICS ROM updated from stock after 2hours when purchased and switched on.

Here is the benchmark screen seconds after installation:

Second screen is after ~month with lots of apps, games etc installed (but still on Factory Rom)
[HTC Desire S] ultimatepichu:
Hi all,

I have a friend and he came to me with a problem with his "Desire S" that I assume as "USB Brick". Here's the symptoms:

When I plugged into any computer, the phone doesn't come out with options about Disk Drive, HTC Sync, USB Teethering, nor Internet Pass-through, but just charge only. I did UNCHECK the remember option tick. The phone just charge

I go to bootloader:

instead of normal "fastboot usb" I get only "fastboot AC". The phone just charge.

The phone itself is fine: I can use card reader to put zip files into the sdcard and flash in recovery etc. But as i said fastboot usb doesn't detect, and adb push of course doesn't work as well.

USB Debugging is checked, "fast boot" in Menu>settings>power is unchecked.

from what I read across in the internet I'm positive that the issue I'm dealing here is USB brick.

So here's my question: Anyone faces the same problem and have fix for it?
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
have you tried flashing a different rom ?
[HTC Desire S] ultimatepichu:
yea. possible 90% of all the roms out there. lol. Thanks for helping :D
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
:eek: and you get the same results on every rom ?
[HTC Desire S] ultimatepichu:
yup all has the same result.

it's similar to USB bricking issues for the Desire. Just that their fix works on their phone but not here. :/ :(
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
a google search found this http://androidforums.com/htc-desire-s/458357-solved-usb-bricked.html not sure if will help but you never no. if not have you tried flashing a ruu.
[HTC Desire S] ultimatepichu:
i saw that as well. the only problem is that flashing ruu requires fastboot no? (running the .exe file from pc which the phone is connected)

That's the part where mine can't work. Anything that must be done from comp doesn't work.

Thanks! :D
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
Im not sure what to do then mate but good luck in your ventures and hope you sort it ;)
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Why are you trying to solve HW problem with SW?

I don't know what is "USB brick", but there's no such thing. While you can screw up USB access in the OS, there's no way you can screw it up in the bootloader. If you read well and put attention, you'll see that all "USB brick" threads in Desire were in OS, and fastboot worked. The most likely reason for USB not working in fastboot is physical - one of the USB pins disconnected, either bent inside the microUSB socket of the phone (most likely), or broke off the main board (less likely). So the required fix is physical as well.
[HTC Desire S] ultimatepichu:
Okay thanks, as I've said I don't know much about this issue either, and I thought it's like the common issues faced in Desire thread.

From the outward look it seems to me that the pins are fine. So i guess it is the pin on the mainboard got disconnected?

if so, is it possible for me to return to stock from this stage?
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
I guess you want to return your phone under warranty. You can try to flash the stock ROM through creating and flashing PB99IMG.ZIP (google it to see what it is and what it does - it's a file from SD card that is automatically flashed by HBOOT).

If you have no warranty - I'd suggest taking it to the nearest decent phone lab. If I'm not mistaken, the price for fixing will be low.

The pins might look fine, but one of the 5 might not be protruding enough to touch the plug pins.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Just to check some obvious things

Have you tried more than one PC?

Have you tried more than one USB cable?

Did you ever instal HTC drivers? You should find HTC sync exe in root of sd card

And just to correct a possible typo in the post above

- rename it to "PG88IMG.zip" (case sensitive)

- put it on the root of your SD card

- reboot into hboot and wait.

wyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] ultimatepichu:
Sadly the warranty expired not long time ago. :S Okay, I'll tell him to take to the nearest phone lab.

Tried on both his and my laptop. My DHD works fine with my comp and my cable so it's definitely not the cable problem. As for drivers, it should make sound when the phone is plugged in but it's not. And if my DHD works, I don't see any reason why the DS can't.

And thanks for more clarification about flashing the PG88IMG.zip in hboot :D
[HTC Desire S] scorp121z:
have had the same problem with my dhd. The problem seems to be intermittent on my phone, in that i got it working a few weeks ago by following the suggestions for the desire usb brick problem.(yes it did work for desire hd too)

By this i mean after numerous tries i got my laptop to be recognized at least in my computer(even though the sd card would not show)After

i used sdk tools and command promt and entered:-

fastboot oem eraseconfig

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot oem boot

in that order.

After this my dhd mounted fine in 2 laptops at home and one pc

However about 2 days ago its has just stopped being rexcognized by my laptop or pc again,I have tried several times over the last few days but nothing works

I am convinced now it is an intermittent h/w propblem,

I am now using my phone explorer to access the sd card over wi fi so i don't have to remove it and insert it in laptop sd slot.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
If the phone is recognized by PC in fastboot mode, and phone screen shows "FASTBOOT USB" - it isn't a HW problem.

If the phone isn't recognized in fastboot mode - it is a HW problem.

This is a simple and 100% way to distinguish between so-called "USB bricks" and HW failure of USB slot / one of the USB lines.
[HTC Desire S] scorp121z:
My phone does show every time in fastboot usb , but if i send a command via adb get 'waiting for device'.

However as I said in my previous post it was connecting every time a few days ago on 2 laptops and 1 pc.

Nothing has changed on the phone or the laptops since but now it has stopped responding again. It will not connect on laptop with or without using adb

I am going to try some different roms over the next few days, currently using Leedroid 5.1.1, but i am siick of spending hours and hours on it.

I think I can live with using my phone explore over wi fi(although its slower) and if I do need to copy something faster on or off the sd card, I unmount it and us it on my laptop slot with and SD adaptor
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Fastboot and ADB are TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES.

You can't send ADB command when in fastboot.

You can't send fastboot command when in ADB.

To have ADB functional, you need the kernel to be loaded properly and at least start of Android boot.

To have fastboot functional, all you need to do is reboot to bootloader.
[HTC Desire S] scorp121z:
Jack_R1 thanks for the info.

I get waiting for device in fastboot usb mode and if I try adb commands with phone booted its no use because the pc or laptop does not even see the phone in device manager
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
If you get "waiting for device" - make sure all the drivers are installed in Windows. Look in Device Manager, see if you can find "Android bootloader" or "Android 1.0" device.

If there's none - you might have a HW problem on your hands.
[HTC Desire S] scorp121z:
I'm sure its a harware problem, but i have no problem charging , either from mains or usb from laptop or pc & sd card card works fine within phone.

Things I have tried on 2 laptops and 1 pc:-

uninstalled /reinstalled htc drivers and adb drivers

uninstalled htc sync totally and installed drivers only from Ace hack kit tools folder

tried different roms(gingerbread and ICS)

went back to stock rom 1.32

After trying all the above the phone is not recognized in laptop/pc device manager

I've decide the next phone I have will be one with 16gb or 32gb internal memory which is plenty, no need for sd card lol
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Charging requires only VBUS (2 of the 4 USB lines).

If one of the data lines is broken - your phone will charge, but won't be recognized as anything.
[HTC Desire S] scorp121z:
I suspected a harware fault, one of the things i like about HTC phones is that they have a 2 year warranty.Mine runs out in November, I will put the stock rom back on and send it for repair, but I remember reading on an older thread HTC will not repair phones that are S-Off, will I need to try and get it back to S-On if possible?
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You can try to get it back to S-ON, but if it's clear HW fault, my impression is that they fix such faults regardless of S-OFF.
[HTC Desire S] Aaroneke:
I have exacly the same problem, fastboot says "Fastboot AC" nothing works, my desire s is htc-dev unlocked, so i need to flash other boot.img
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Use PG88IMG for downgrading.
[HTC Desire S] Aaroneke:
What rom/kernel are you using with this problem? Are you HTC-dev unlocked or s-off ?
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
I don't have this problem, the OP does - and this thread is from 1/2 year ago, so I don't think he'll see it to answer the question...

There's nothing to do with physical USB socket failure but to fix it. If you're HTCDev-unlocked and want to relock - unfortunately you're out of luck, and you won't be able to change ROMs either, not being able to fastboot flash anything.
[HTC Desire S] ultimatepichu:
who is talking to who? :S
[HTC Desire S] Aaroneke:
I was asking you, doesnt matter anymore, he was right, i think it is hardware related.

(Just wondering, does fastboot use normal kernel?)
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
No, fastboot runs even without kernel whatsoever. Fastboot is an interface of bootloader - SBL, if you like.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynuxlover:
Hi,

Ok so quite a while ago I rooted my gf's HTC Desire HD, and installed the Cyanogenmod 7 then upgrade that to Advanced Revoluion HD,

now my problem is that for some reason her gps keeps losing its signal whilst driving even short distances, At first I thought it may have been the Cyanogenmod 7 rom but I was wrong it does it every five minutes after turning it on but it can't regain its signal but my Wildfire S gps Stock 2.3.5 Works Perfect

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

:confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
The DHD has a problem of the GPS antenna contacts becoming loose and not connecting with the motherboard properly. There are a few hardware fixes for this if you search around. I've been experiencing a similar problem, but I have yet to try one of those fixes. The GPS antenna is located under the black plastic piece beside the camera (the part with the LED flash). When you're searching for a signal, try lightly pressing this black piece into the phone. See if you get a quicker fix. Then release the piece and see if you lose the fix. If this occurs, then it's due to the hardware loose contact. You'll have to do one of the hardware hacks to fix it.

Also, you can try using a tight fitting silicone/hard case for the DHD, as the case will press tightly against the back of the phone and so push the GPS antenna module inside.

Before all that, here's another thing to try from the software side. Since your flag says you live in the UK, I've attached a specific UK gps.conf file. It contains specific server addresses for your country to download better AGPS data, rather than having a general country independent server like the default gps.conf.

Open a root file explorer such as Root Explorer/Slide Explorer, go to /system/etc/, find gps.conf, press and hold on it, view permissions, make note of the permissions, rename it to gps.conf.bak, copy the new gps.conf (remove the .txt at the end, .conf file upload wasn't allowed) that I've attached into that directory, and set the permissions of the new file as they were for the old one.

This gps.conf is out of the BlackICE v1.50 ROM which contains specific files for many countries, so it is thanks to the creators of that ROM.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynuxlover:
Thank you very much I will try this later as not to piss her off anymore with the constant changing of her Rom :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Haha I understand you dude. My best friend is getting the One X on my suggestion, and I can't wait to get my hands on it and start messing around, but man is she going to be pissed about it if I start changing ROMs every alternate week. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laojianke:

I fixed the GPS issue by updating the radio.

The first step is to S-OFF it. Here is what I used to do it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2367322

The second step is to update radio: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9891581&postcount=2

After that, I used TopNTP, which is available from Google Play, to configure the GPS.

Now the GPS can fix my location in 10 seconds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raceman1972:
Hello all. Thanks for the help. I have a G2x running Hellfire Sandwich v1.5. I cannot get my computer (XP SP3) to install drivers for MTP. I have downloaded the LG united usb driver and also the MTP drivers for Windows update and still no luck. Everytime I plug the phone into my computer it finds new hardware and tries to install drivers for it. I tell it it is ok to go on the internet for drivers and it still can't find anything. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and I have tried install with the phone plugged in during install and with the phone unplugged during install. I have gotten all the most recent drivers and still can't get it to work? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
have you flashed any kernels? (im not sure what comes in HFS) but some have issues with breaking MTP.

second, wikipidia states:

so check to see if that is all there.

if after all of this it still wont work, try flashing another rom and try it on that.

Good Luck :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cooch1000:
MTP Driver Issues with the LG (Tmo) G2X

After suffering my own issues with Sync and MTP, I can discuss my resolution:

I recently flashed Eaglesblood ICS for my T-mo G2x - all was well until I wanted to access the phone from my Asus EEE WinXP via USB.

Connected via USB and presented with an immediate popup to access photos only via LG-P999. No access to card.

Navigated to the USB options on device, 2 selections: Connect as a Camera or Connect as MTP Device.

When attempting to connect via MTP, I got a Driver Install Popup which could NOT install the drivers no matter what.

Here's what worked for me:

1. Make sure your Windows Media Player is updated to the latest version (>10).

2. Get the latest Driver Update from the LG Website and install it. If prompted, install the MTP Driver from Microsoft (automatic).

3. Disable USB Debuggging on DEVICE.

4. Connect the device, and you will once again be prompted with a DRIVER install FAIL. Now, navigate to the Device Manager on your PC.

5. Find the Yellow Exclamation point on the P999 Device in the manager. RIGHT CLICK the device and click UPDATE DRIVER.

6. Disable "Search Microsoft Update to Search for Drivers" then click Next.

Now, MTP Driver should successfully automatically install and you should be able to access SD. One caveat: I am only able to access SOME files as the ones that were previously associated with my last build (Gingerbread) do not always show, such as recorded calls from Call Recorder, etc.)

But this resolved the issue generally for me.

Good luck.

how do you disable the usb debugging? thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 82bmickelson:
After flashing a kernel on LG G2, my MTP wouldn't connect. All I did was turned off developer mode and turn it back on and magic it worked again.

My friend found the way to root OTA .629!

Make sure your phone working on .629,

1.Flash repacked .608 sbf

http://db.tt/xj6oos8G

(Never Try Full .608 SBF !!!)

2 .Download tool PetesMotorolaRootTools or SuperOneClick extract all and run.(Just like rooting .608:)）

Note : - FIRST - Please Enable USB Debugging , Then connect cable for usb type Charge only

3.Install app otarootkeeper(Can be found in Play Store,it's free),backup su, unroot.

4.Reboot to Motorola Recovery, Wipe, apply .629 OTA update.zip,reboot.

5.install otarootkeeper app again,restore su

Check your device, it should rooted

ATTENTION: Reapply .629 update is very important, when you flashed our repacked .608 sbf, your device is working on a unstable hybrid rom

Here's where my friend posted:

But, now my GSM network keeps failing as Airplane mode keeps checking on/off every few seconds (interesting enough, wifi still works without problems)...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hd2life:
This works great, I was enable to flash the file unisng RSD Lite and after that root using zergrush without any problem. Only slight problem it that wi-fi dont work at the moment but will update when i flash it back to .629 .
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] zyy757:
I didn't met this problem before. .Did you tried reboot your device?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ravenhr:
Yes, no help from it... still the same problem.

UPDATE: For all with some sort of problems (!), blindly follow guide from link, for RESTORING device... apply 608, apply repacked 629, (IMPORTANT) full wipe in recovery, root, unroot, flash update, re-root. Works like a charm, all radios are full to go!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] landonotis:

Now, rooted, I'm finally able to delete all those stupid Verizon bloatware (I'm not on Verizon, even more, I CAN'T use Verizon, I'm not in U.S.!) - got around 10-15% on speed (some things apparently are in startup and slowing the phone down).

Other thing, before this update, I had some minor and occasional problems with touch - like ghosts or something, after unlocking touch started to do weird stuff, opening apps by it-self, moving icons across the screen - no more, it works great (for now). This might be because of fresh and full install and wipe (yes, it's a hassle to do it, to install all apps again, set them up... but, it's kinda good solution...).
