[HTC One X] Trev16v:
I have just collected my new One X from the Orange store in Newbury.

An issue I have come onto this forum to search regarding is a weird issue that I see when using various vertical scrolling settings screens. The description of the issue is that, when attempting to scroll further after having fully scrolled to the top or bottom of the settings screen, there's an unpleasant (to me at least) effect whereby the individual setting rows start to break apart and black voids appear between all of the vertical rows. These all snap back and disappear when you lift your finger. What I would expect to actually happen is for the entire page to just scroll slightly, with just a single black void appearing at the top or bottom, when you attempt to scroll past the bottom or top end point.

The reason I've posted about this in this thread is because oddly I haven't yet found any other reports about it on here or Google (all I can find are references to screen banding or other screen defects). And, I think this is something to do with Orange's branding in some way. I say this because someone else at work who has his One X on Orange has exactly the same effect on his. Another person, who has her phone with Three, does not observe the same issue: hers actually behaves in the way I'd expect it to.

Anyone with a One X on Orange can observe what I mean (hopefully!) by simply going to the Settings application and attempting to scroll further up while the settings page is initially already scrolled to the top extreme.

People at work are the sorts who wouldn't be bothered about this and I guess most normal users wouldn't even notice, but me being me, it bothers me highly!

So, from what I can tell from my limited research (asking two people at work!) this is somehow caused by Orange's branding.

If this is discussed already elsewhere and I've missed it despite my searching, I'd appreciate a pointer.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
either root your phone guys and install a custom rom to remove all the branding or just go into settings-apps and then click on all and then scroll and disable all the apps that came with the phone. what i mean disable the apps that you feel you do not need and disable them. that way they get removed from your app screens and are like frozen in the background like what TB does. hope this helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Out of all the branded and non branded batteries out there for our phone which one do you guys think is the best for value and performance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tramane:
Everyone recommended the Trexcell 3800mah

So i bought one

It gets delivired tomorrow
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
thanks. forgot to mention i wasnt looking for an extended battery like that. either 1800 2000 or 23000 mAh batteries only
[HTC EVO 3D] evoguy404:
Ive searched the forum for solutions on how to fix this issue but can't seem to find I good answer. I've also changed kernels but it still goes on & off. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] evoguy404:
I can't be the only one with the problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
you should try switching over to static ip
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Try changing your router channel to 11 if its not already. Also try updating your routers firmware. And in settings/WiFi/advance WiFi settings make sure best performance is checked and sleep is set to never.

[HTC EVO 3D] evoguy404:
Thanks for all your replies,but I should have stated that I only have this problem when using virus rom. I was on miui the WiFi worked flawlessly no restarts. I'm just wondering what I should do to get it stable on virus because his Rom is dope.

Thanks again
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Well in that case you could try switching kernels if you haven't already. Also you can adjust the WiFi setting in the settings menu if you haven't already as well. The info I posted is still relevant toward the router you own it may or may not help with the virus issue but it will give you better performance if you keep your routers firmware up to date that's if you haven't already.

[HTC EVO 3D] evoguy404:
What would be a good kernel to use?
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
New anthrax or ziggy kernels both work great.
[HTC EVO 3D] evoguy404:
Thanks but I've used both and I'm still getting the WiFi reset issue. I tried ziggys with the 329 release of 3.5 but still a no go.
[HTC EVO 3D] sumredhed567:
There is no fix and hasn't been for awhile. Any sense 3.5 rom I go on my wifi goes in and out. Awhile ago I tried posting a thread for advice and I'm guessing because it happens to so few people nobody really wanted to look into it. My advice don't use 3.5 if you need wifi. Try one of the 2.17 base roms. They're just as smooth. Also I'm sure once ics hits the issue won't be there with 3.6. Not too much longer!
[Nexus S General] regaw_leinad:
Hey guys, I am the developer of AndroidLib. I am currently trying to expand support to a wider range of phones for the library, and I need some help from the Nexus S community. I started a new project called the AndroidLib Expansion Project, which will allow me to expand support for my library based on a few simple tests I run on your device. Please, if you are willing to help out and support the development of AndroidLib, go the the AndroidLib Expansion Project's thread and see what you can do to help out!

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] atpiggy:
I'll help! :D

Good luck with AndroidLib!

Edit: Done, i've uploaded the zip to your website :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigJoseph:
Hi everyone,

I'm reasonably certain that this isn't a redundant thread -- at least, none of the discussions I've read have helped me fix my problem. Anyway, here goes:

I have a new i9250T that I purchased through Amazon. When I got it, I popped in the SIM card from my Nexus One (both SIM and phone acquired in January 2010). Everything worked fine, EXCEPT that I could only connect to T-Mobile's 2G network (Network Type = Edge:2). After trying everything I could think of, I called T-Mobile, and the tech told me that my 2-year-old SIM card was 2G only and that I should update it. So I went to a T-Mobile store and got a new SIM. Alas, it doesn't seem to have worked.

I would REALLY appreciate any suggestions. Some additional info:

-- I'm in Philadelphia, in a very good coverage area.

-- I flashed yakju, 4.0.2, and UGLC1 radio before getting the new SIM.

Again, any thoughts will be appreciated. I've seen enough posts on various boards from people successfully using this phone on T-Mobile to not give up, but I'm out of ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreatBigDog:
check what your APN settings are on your N1 and make sure that they ate the same on your GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigJoseph:
Thanks. I'll check that tomorrow morning (I left the N1 at my office).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbucha:
i too received my galaxy nexus today from amazon, i also only seem to be receiving EDGE service. The apn settings were enter automatically from the sim card i assume, and seem to be the same as my old Galaxy S 4g.What else can we try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Weirdest crap... aren't the GNEX suppose to work with either GSM Carriers 3G? From what I read lol ...

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitemare3219:
I get 3G/H with my Nexus. Running Android Revolution HD 3.0 w/ franco's kernel. Not sure if I got it before then running stock, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
It should definitely work no question with little issue. Just pop in your sim and good to go. Maybe its some random network issue in your area that coincidentally started?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hollyoli:
Same here, got it on Amazon. it's a GT-I9250T which means it's for the Australian market (I9250 International, I9250M Canada, I9250T Australia). I'm just stuck on EDGE, but works fine on AT&T - I tried it with my gf's sim card.

The problem is with the frequencies. T-mobile uses 1700 and 2100 (both! for upload and download), AT&T uses 1900Hz. The phone is supposed to be a pentaband phone that's able to work on all on the freqs besides others (850, 900). So my guess after a few days research is that it's limited in the software. Still researching the solution...

Let's keep each other posted on this, i'm eager to get my 4G back !!!

NEW DEVELOPMENT!!!

Information from another post: flashing UGLC1 radio helps. Good luck all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chimaki1:
I had the same issues with no 3g speeds on any radios except a random docomo radio until today.

Based on a few posts in the baseband thread i tried the settings in the hidden menu

Go into the phone dialer and type

*#*#4636#*#* -This should bring up a testing menu

Go into phone info, then pull up the settings menu

There should be a select radio band button

Try the USA band, if that doesn't work, try automatic.

This worked for me, I've since flashed 4 different radios that hadn't worked previously and now do at standard speeds vs edge only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexicon:
Well my buddy bought his also from amazon and had the same issue as the OP. But luckily we got it fixed. I believe what he did was only tinker with the APN settings. Under APN Type in your T Mobile apn make sure the correct profiles are there. One of them could be data but I'm not sure as I'm on SIMPLE Mobile and my buddy is on T Mobile, sorry. If you get it working and your MMS isn't working, then add mms to the profile as well. That should do it. He did get his phone with 4.0.1 and I updated it to 4.0.4 Android Revolution 3.0 just like me as well but it wasn't until we tinkered with his settings did it work. Oh and we also swapped for a new SIM. Let me know if this helped guys. I'll try getting his settings if I see him tomorrow.

Edit: his was also an Australian galaxy nexus. But he seems be having everything working now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
So ait this is the Australian version? They use 850 and 2100 bands so is it possible the other bands are disabled on that version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigJoseph:
Problem solved!

I took chimaki1's advice and fiddled with the radio band setting. I had done this previously, but I had always selected "USA Band." This time, I selected "Automatic." Closed out of the Testing menu, and -- bingo! The wonderful 'H' appeared and I was now getting real speed -- 7.9mbps down, 2.8 up. Not as good as some of the insane speeds I've seen posted by GN owners on T-Mobile, but a lot better than 100kbps down I had been getting. :) Also, I didn't mess with the APN settings at all.

To recap the solution for others having the same issue:

From the phone dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#*

Tap "Phone information"

Tap the Settings icon at the bottom right

Tap "Select radio band"

Select "Automatic"

Close out of the Testing menu (you can just hit the Home key)

I can't remember whether I had to soft reset or not; I don't think I did.

I hope this works for others. Thanks very much to everyone who posted.

Craig
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbucha:
This is weird. my galaxy is still not getting 3G/4G Service even after changing radio band in the hidden test menu.

Is your galaxy running the stock software, or are you running something different. if so, what rom are you running
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigJoseph:
It's running the yakju image and OS version 4.0.2. I flashed both using the WugFresh tool. The phone came with yakjuxw (I think) and 4.0.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not "disabled" but more like they're set up to "prefer" the Australian bands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nutkreker:
I'm having the same issue on the I9250T I just got. Stuck on edge. I played around with the hidden menu settings, still no luck. I'm using a TMo SIM card from my previous phone which had 4G so I doubt that its a time/patience issue. Any help will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepawn:
My phone has had "H"/4G access since day one, if I put it on US-Band I only get Edge. I put it on AUTOMATIC and it works fine, leave it on AUTOMATIC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nutkreker:
Today I tried a friend's ATT SIM and it worked fine with H/3G speeds. popped the TMo SIM back in and I'm back to EDGE. Wondering if there is something that needs to be done to the phone settings or, or I was hopping some one could tell me what needs to be done.. thanks

Usually rom developers would suggest suitable kernels for their roms.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
Hey @bodomfan sorry I can't reply to ur last pm for some reason XDA app fcs when I try to open ur msg (oddly enough)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
Weird Im currently using champs kernel seems decent
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDeathlord:
I think, the difference betweeen the kernels availible for download is not directly related to battery consumption, it is just a matter of features. Some of them are overclocked or undervolted.

As far as I know, it is the choosen governor that makes difference on battery level.

For example :

- Performance governor does set the CPU frequency to the highest one configured

- OnDemande governor increases the frequency regularly until it hits the needed one

... and so on. You can read more here and here.

On my phone I use SmartassV2 because I don't want lags but I care a little bit for the battery, maybe I am wrong. If I am, can someone correct me :D

i have been feeling the need for a cam app that would have the record button and the button for shooting a pic on screen.

so many times i have recorded a vid instead of taking a pic making the poser like a statue artist :D

is there an app that would be compatible with gingerbread 2.3.6? (i have a gs2 btw)

any suggestions?

I have been rooted and flashed 15-20 roms all flawless until today, when I had one that failed, TGF cwm recovery, I was abel to recover my backup, but does this not restore it to original rom (meaning with setting, theams etc) If not is there a program out there that will back up your desktop as is, because its a pain to reinstall and set everything up again, espicaly if you are reverting to a backup of a rom. resign it resetup keyboard, theam etc.

Im not a noob just one to clock work restore.

Thanks in advance:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
It completly restores everything. I use it all the time to flash back to my daily driver. Desktop, Web pages, call Logs, SMS messages, all get restored.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
if you made a nandroid it restores EVERYTHING back to the way it was...including the themes, keyboard, apps whatever it is...idk what you did, but it certainly wasn't a nandroid or else everything would have been restored

there is no currently no method other than a nandroid that works flawlessly

setting up homescreens and themes over again are a way of life when you flash new roms

it sucks...but whatever...if you dont like it, dont flash new roms (not directed at you...im saying in general)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evo4eva:
There must be something wrong with your backup because when you restore a backup, it restores exactly how it was saved. Meaning that if you backed it up once you had everything set up already then it would have restored with everything already set up. That includes settings,themes,apps and even widgets. So unless your backup is before you set everything up then there is something wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robandcathy:
ok guess this is a noob question then, nandroid and cwm backup the same? because I use cwm as my backup option because it works on kernal level, or at least before os loads, so I assumed this would be good enough. Running the most current version of CWM.

EDIT ok stupid me for not doing a google search, got my answer, which raises another question can cwm and nandroid co exist from the little bit I read both require hard keypresses at boot along with the phones own hard key patter. MAn if I ever felt stupid I do now lol. Kept reading about nandroid but thought it was CWM

Edit 2 after wanting to do a deeper look into nandroid brings me back to CWM

Is there a cwm forum because its not on there main web site so I can bother them about this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
Cwm works perfect for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] parusia:
The best way to go is go to recovery, then go to back up and restore, select back up, wait until finished, and then reboot system and you are set. :D

I always backup to internal havent had errors that way. Only if backed up to external is when i get errors

Sent from MY Juggernaut!!!:eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
I believe cwm backups and nandroids are interchangeable terms now. It was probably different in the past when using different backup methods but they have the same purpose.. which is an exact backup of you device.
[HTC Sensation] Azrielem:
Hi, first of all, i'm using the Android Revolution HD rom.

My problem is that though my contact picture does sync and show up both in contact and stock messaging apps, they don't show up in Handcent sms... Though if I click the empty picture, contact details (with the options like "call, mail, etc") show up, including the pictures (can upload a screenshot if this is not clear)

I've tried rebooting, reinstalling handcent, i've also tried this fix as well as fixing permissions from recovery. Nothing seems to work.

I've been googling like crazy for the last hour looking at least for people having the same problem as me, but all the posts i've found are from january-february, which makes me wonder if it is supposed to be a fixed issue. I've also read a few of the thread on these forums referencing ICS bugs, and haven't found this particular issue.

I've also tried flashing the stock HTC rom, though to be honest i didn't spend as much time trying to fix it there, since it wasn't the rom i wanted to use.

Thanks to anyone who will be able to help, even if only to confirm that i'm not the only one having this issue...

[EDIT] Fix found, please read this thread.

Thanks to Chronic404 for providing us with the link.

I'm having the same problem, don't show in whatsapp or go sms pro

I was having the same problem with go sms pro and it was driving me nuts.

Found that if I went into the stock 'people' app and re-chose the contact pics for people they then showed up in go sms.

Not ideal and quite time-consuming but couldn't live without the contact pics showing up!
[HTC Sensation] Azrielem:
Thanks for the tip, though i don't seem to have the stock people app on my rom, is it also the case for the HTC stock rom, or is it just because i'm using ARHD ?

May i ask what rom you are using ?

As I said in my first post, I did try this fix, but it's still not working...
[HTC Sensation] JustinRawr:
Oh sorry I don't read much, can you tell? :D but I had the same problem and that fixed it for me. Must be handcent.
[HTC Sensation] Azrielem:
First of all, I want to apologize, my previous post was coming off as a bit rude, didn't realise it as I was typing on my phone :)

It might be Handcent, i actually have no idea how to check that since i don't know any app with uses contact pictures, save for the two mentioned in this post: go sms pro, which seems to require to install quite a lot of things, and whatsapps which, as far as i understand it, would require someone to chat with, but i don't think i know anyone who uses it...

So if you have an idea for an app that would use my contact pic tu check whether or not it's a handcent bug, i'd gladly take it.
[HTC Sensation] JustinRawr:
It's okay I'm not easily offended!

Have you ever tried kik messenger? Once you install it and make an account it'll ask you if you want to add the people from your contacts list that also have it.
[HTC Sensation] Azrielem:
I tried it, but apparently none of my contacts use anything else than sms, so still not sure of anything.
