[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Cirkustanz:
Spending all the time and effort into learning how to make your own rom just to get some increased ringer volume seems like the wrong way to go about it. I'm not saying it's as complicated as plotting a mars mission or anything, but it's surely not something you can have completed over a weekend when you're starting from scratch.

With that in mind, here's some other options.

You have the option of taking out the sim card that your work issued you (in the phone) and using it in another phone, although helicopter's are really really loud and also windy, whether or not another phone could really be sufficiently louder is something you have to consider as well. But this is the "simplest" solution. Maybe your old phone was loud enough, and it's also a GSM phone.

If your work and the noise problems are in a stationary location, like I dunno, maybe some kind of warehouse, using some kind of bluetooth accessory might be viable. I don't mean a bluetooth headset, I mean something connected to a speaker or a PA system. You can get use a stereobluetooth headset adapter that will plug into any regular audio device such as a set of computer speakers or an AV jack and when your phone rang, it would play through those much louder speakers. If you went out of range from say walking to another location, what happens automatically is it disconnects and your regular phone speaker is used of course.

I've been thinking about how fun it would be to have speakers on my bicycle since I ride it to work when the weather's nice, and sometimes I'll go out for rides with friends. Hearing some tunes while riding might be fun, and I don't like the idea of wearing headphones while riding a bike.

I've been looking at several options for bluetooth speakers, and I've seen some that are even wearable. This might be an option as well. Of course if you want to take a call and use the phones speaker for their voice, you'd just press that little bluetooth icon when you take a call. If it's too loud to be able to hear the phone ring, I'd have to assume it would also be too loud to be able to have a phone conversation though, so there is that. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Can anyone tell me if they are experiencing Calendar and Calendar Storage force closes on any of the ICS roms? I get the fc's randomly but very often. I asked this in one of the roms threads but those threads move so fast that no one really saw my question and I didn't get a definitive answer. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
[HTC Rezound] Masx:
So I was reading on Droid-Life that there might be an OTA to ICS on 5/9. My question is if I rooted now, installing Amon Ra, backed up, and removed some bloat.

How would the OTA effect me? If I didn't want to bother with roms atm but just wanted to remove bloat. Would accepting the OTA mess anything up?
[HTC Rezound] leoingle:
Be patient. Once the RUU hits the streets. One of the device will post a rooted, deodexed, deflated version. That's what I'm waiting on.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
I doubt it they said an update was coming for the Xoom LTE too and so far like all android devices.... nothing. Go Google Go..
[HTC Rezound] Masx:
So I shouldn't bother rooting for now?
[HTC Rezound] Jimi Mack:
Root and remove your bloat. If an OTA is released I say within a day you will see someone post a zip version you can place on your SD card and place right on your phone. Have some fun and let yourself go.
[HTC Rezound] Masx:
I just didn't know if there was some crazy unrooting process or error that would happen if the OTA popped up on me or was forced to install it.

Considering I don't plan on installing a rom for a little bit till I'm more comfortable with using the phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] iventura:
My Droid 3 (Milestone 3 - XT860 - here in Argentina) won't find my Wi-Fi connection, my modem-router is a Zyxel P-600 Series

Finds others Wi-Fi connections, but not mine. The SSID is visible, I tried also adding the connection manualy, but nothing happened.

Any ideas??

Changing ROM will make it find the connection?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
Maybe try changing the broadcast channel on the Router or making sure that it is set to Wireless b/g/n or b/g. It likely isn't a ROM based problem if it sees other wireless networks.
[Motorola Droid 3] iventura:
Nope, nothing about that.

Any other ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] Senate9690:
If you have encryption enabled try turning it off to see if it works without it. If it does, try a different encryption. My droid didn't seem to like WPA2 much.
[Motorola Droid 3] iventura:
Sorry, you were right! I had to change my channel ID. Thanks a lot bro!!
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
Glad you got it working.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Actually it does. Just yesterday I had Nexus MOD installed and Instagram worked fine. However I reverted to my previous ROM due to the horrible battery life on the ICS leak

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mimicvii:
Instagram actually works for me on the new Darkside ICS ROM, but choosing filters is real laggy. Just use Pixlr, it's better anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AaronPauley:
I'd bet that it's not 100% compatible due to the fact there aren't any official releases of our rom. Instagram developers can't really make it fully compatible until there's an official release, and no real reason to until then.

It worked sometimes for me, and sometimes made my phone reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EffnNice:
hey can u check if ur allowed to save pictures from instagram because i cannot :[ tried to find that option for a while

im sure my phone doesnt like ics roms because i only really get problems on them not GB roms.

Can anyone help please.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin0025:
Hey everyone,

I was wondering, is it required to S-OFF your device for future ICS ROMS? I really don't feel comfortable using the wire trick, but would really like to install future ICS ROMS that the wonderful devs are working on.

Thanks for the help
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
So I went and bought a cheap battery with about 250 more MAH than the current battery. It was £3.99. Aside from being rubbish, are there any other defects of using a rubbish battery? Could it mess up my phone?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letmedanz:
Definitely. You've spent a decent amount of money on a good phone, why look for a cheap battery which can damage it?

Not saying it will, but the chances of battery different than the original causing harm is always there.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
I remember seeing a battery from China that had an extra 300 mAh, for 5 dollars each. It was black with gold Chinese characters on it.

Can't remember where I saw it but a good google search would probably find it. The feedback from people who bought it was really good.

They were selling it as a battery for a different phone other than the play, probably the x10, but it was the same BST-41 battery so it'll work the same.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] golfadas:
A little bit of background:

I was having some weird problems with my screen,

for a while I thought It was because of the rom and naa Kernel..

My phone was rotted, with kustom kernel and of course with the bootloader unlocked.

But after updating the phone with the new SEUS the screen just works when it wants to...

The real question:

Can I send it to sony without problems? SEUS completed the update/repair so I think thak all the custom stuff is not on my X10 anymore or is there any?

p.s.: I think this was my first post :P generally I only read XDA (a lot!)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yashu1019:
If SEUS hve solved your problem then no need to send it to Sony
[HTC One X] tdx:
Hi everyone,

the HOX is my first Android phone in a while so I'm still trying to make sense of the developers' stuff. I searched the forums for this but I'm still confused.

My question is, now that i see that both MIUI and CM9 ROMs are getting ready to be released, what are the benefits of waiting for HTC to release the Kernel and also what the benefits are for waiting for the S-Off exploit.

In other words, if working, stable MIUI and CM9 ROMs are released soon, what's the point to wait for HTC kernel and S-Off?

I'd really appreciate if you could help me understand this.

Thanks!
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
The newer kernel will have better performance. The S-OFF will make things easier to flash plus you can super CID your phone meaning you can flash any RUU, good for de-branding branded phones
[HTC One X] tdx:
Thanks for the quick response, it makes things clearer. So once HTC officially releases the kernel, will MIUI and CM9 be updated to that? Or are the 2 developments unrelated?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] monkor:
I feel bad about opening up another thread and I apologize if this is the wrong board for this already, but you guys are without a doubt the most knowledgeable people on phones I've ever read/talked to so I need your advice...

My starting point: Samsung Exhibit 4G (mint condition)

My goal: MT4GS (found a seller willing to give me one for $230)

I'm about to pull the trigger on a phone swap for a MT4G. I also have to throw in $25. Is that a good deal? I feel like it is because then I can sell that MT4G for like $200 then just pay for the rest.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
I was just looking in ebay and i saw a mytouch 4g slide for 170
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] monkor:
Every time I try to get one on Ebay, I feel like I'm getting bamboozled! I've bid on so many auctions in the past few days, to no success. I almost won one for 175, then the seller cancelled the entire thing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Tht sucks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
4g slide in good condition on craigslist is in the 275-300 range.

Scratch and dent beat up phones get 100-200 generally.

I've been trying to find a good silver one for a while now, and if I wanted something abused I could get one in a snap. Finding one that's actually been taken care of and will last me a while instead of crapping out immediately takes more $
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] monkor:
Exactly. I'm picking one up for $150 tomorrow, hopefully in good enough condition. The guy is a military man so he says he takes care of his stuff, but we'll see. I'm a stickler for cosmetic issues, as I firmly believe it points to other potential hardware faults on the phone. If you drop it a lot, chances are it's not going to function up to snuff. I'm careful to the point where someone might consider it OCD, but whatever because I can sell my phones back as mint condition later on.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wjcarpenter:
I also watch these on eBay. You really don't see many used ones that are cosmetically in great shape. That silver bezel, especially, seems to attract a lot of nicks.

FWIW, YMMV, .... :-)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] monkor:
That silver bezel, and the phone in and of itself, seems to dent easier than playdough! Not the screen, mind you, but everything else. I actually found a really, really good deal on a mint condition LG G2x ($170). What would you say about getting that? I mean it doesn't have the keyboard, but it has a pretty large screen that may work. Not to mention an 8MP camera, 1Ghz dual-core processor. The downsides are less ppi and less ram, and obviously the keyboard. I don't know if I'd be taking a step back or not...

[General Questions and Answers] eduncan911:
When I've previously ROM'd my phones in the past, one issue I always came across was the radios getting out dated. I found myself scheduling a "once a month check" calendar alert to remind me to go out and find the latest radios to update.

Ugh, tedious... I hear the stock ROMs from carriers auto-update the radios? If not, is that what the PTL updates do?

Now that I am back to Android after a limited WP7 hiatus, I'm about to ROM again. But this time, I want to have these radios auto-updating with a custom ROM.

Is that possible? Or is that part of the big-brother stuff from the carrier's software that does that?
[General Questions and Answers] VikoAlucard:
Using custom roms or stock roms will indeed update your radio.

However, if you've got a ****ty network operator, he might not update as often as needed. I was stuck with radio problems with some customs roms too...

Be careful, newest is far from always better with radio versions ! They mix a lot of parameters, sometimes you get a better signa, at the expense of a lot of battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] eduncan911:
Interesting. Could you explain what a "network operator" is? Is that someone managing the ROM's radios remotely? Like, the person to donate to?

Who is updating the radios "for me"? I didn't think that was automatic with ROMs?

Been there, done that! lol I use have 3 or 4 radio packages on my phones, ready to install depending on where I flew to. "Damn, got a bad signal here. Let me try a different radio. Ah yes, there we go."

I have flashed all ROM i know and read all the unbrick (One-click-Unbrick do not detect it) and still not able to reflash it ... do you thing it is a done deal and need to be services?

Thanks

Oh! the other one that run CM9-ICS, how do you get back to stock since the files systems is now difference, and flash stock via Odin only get it to boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
After flashing with odin, you need to wipe data too.

For your brick, install ADB, search xda how.

Then do

Or

I already did that, but i think the Stock do not reformat the Files system?

adb cannot find the device (adb devices) :(

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Ohhhhh that's right! When you come from the new roms these days, it formats your device to EXT4. So if you try to go back to RFS (Stock), the phone bootloops.

ADB needs the phone to be turned on and running for it to work.

Darkshado, any help here?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Sure, here's a really quick reply:

If you want to reformat your /data and /cache partitions to RFS, here are empty RFS images you can dd into place.

Thanks Darkshado & Peteragent5, i will try out to DD it over my ICS one, but for the Bricked one, anyone have any ideal how to fix it? lock like ODIN flash to rom, but the memory inside these phone is protected, therefore it won't write any update to it ... i got one Xoom doing to samething, wondering if the write cycle of the ROM/WRAM has been reached?

Using Darkshado empty RFS images just fine, but cannot restore to the stock firmware for Unlock :( All other firmware than the GalaxyICS-UNOFFICIAL-beta8 rom it's all end up in boot loop :(

For the other Gio, i just bring it to the Samsung center in MTL and they said it's under warranty and will fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Can you get Odin to work on the "first" Gio?

If so, once you've restored the RFS data and cache partitions, flash the stock backup ROM with Odin. I don't see any obvious reason this should leave you boot-looping. (ddms should give some clues if i does...)

Otherwise, and maybe easier even, just dd system.rfs and boot.img back into place from recovery.

ArpegGioMod, even the ext4 0.9 version, allows SIM unlocking as it is a stock-based ROM. A factory reset with it might even perform the unlock due to the modified CSC files.
