im coming over from an ics unofficial ics rom (forgot the name, ported from skyrocket i think) and my only issue is my signal.

1st off tmob knows the signal in this tiny spot is weak, barely edge/gprs, about 2 miles north full 4g. im working at a hotel just between 2 small hills. my problem is on the other rom i still had a bar or 2 inside with no data and 2 bars outside with edge, gprs if i walk across the parking lot. now i dont have any bars but i have wifi calling, sms/mms, but the calls dont always connect thru wifi calling.

i never flashed any radios coming from stock or the other rom and i followed OPs instructions carefully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
its the same as flashing any kernel... just install the zip and wipe cache(preffered using tdj's and just reboot. it might take a few diff radio versions to get what u need tho.

edit, also you do know you can contact customer service and get a signal booster from tmo for free as well, right? jus tell them you dont have good reception at home and they will ship you one free of charge
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YoshiNurijumi:
If you use darkside clear cashe in CWM it will show the Baseband and reboot with no problemd
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gbL420:
yea i forgot to mention tmob did suggest and order a signal booster for me but they canceled it because they said in hotel and apartment buildings it may interfere with 911 calls
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
weird, being that the unit goes on the window.... they didnt tell me anything about it. but then again, im in a house. it was an idea tho... best bet is to try flashing radios til u get one that will give you better reception

ok now that i got it all set up- 2.7.1 with DS venom 3#5 how do i tweak it to make it faster yet battery friendly? also to add i have flashed CPUSleeper. what else can i do to it to make this monster a force to reckon with more than it is?

Have u tried to turn wifi calling off? When its on it seems to block reception and u will get no bars :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gbL420:
ok so i flashed 4 different radios found across xda, none seemed to help so i finally flashed the tmob official ics radio. i guess its a wrong place wrong time type of thing. my only problem with tmob is i can get full 4g upto 4mbps just 2 miles north and at least gprs as soon as i get off the property. verizon also has weak signal here. when i was on sprint i had full 3g, my co worker has att, his also works

my followup is, if i had signal the whole time why are people getting a busy tone when calling me

wifi calling being active might have messed with the actual reception which in turn cancelled your actual signal is the only thing i can come up with...:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dab231:
Tried with no success, should just flash the stock radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tnallen:
Showing no baseband is not a big deal. Especially if signal seems normal. Flashing a different radio might show up, might not. I always run lb7 because it's the best for me and it shows no baseband on every Rom I flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gbL420:
update:

after having the issue with swype i tried switching keyboards, neither samsung nor android keyboard worked, same issue i could only get 1 tap in before it froze me out, i tried in the messaging app and the browser. i finally got annoyed enough to factory reset my phone from settings and so far its been working fine. im curious to know if anyone else experienced this or if it was just me. i was flashing radios right before this problem started, maybe that screwed something up (maybe the wipes) although i dont see how that would affect my keyboards.

if anyone knows how this happened please let me know so i can avoid it in the future
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tnallen:
Did you use darkside cachewipe after you'd flash a radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gbL420:
yes every time, once i even tried it before but that resulted in the boot taking extra long...longer than what last prompt says (1st boot may take long)

now im having problems with s-voice and when i go to reboot into recovery it hangs, doesnt power off. i just re-wiped and re-flashed the rom hopefully i can avoid the problem now...hopefully

edit:

ok i re flashed the rom and waited to before doing anything, i went to reboot into recovery (to wipe cache like op said) the tmob goodbye screen is still hanging and i dont wanna keep pulling the battery out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tnallen:
Yea I don't know what screwed your keyboards then. Flashing that cachewipe should fix that goodbye hang. Hopefully everything will settle better this time for you. Might also try a dirty flashing over itself.

For everyone saying they are getting battery to last more than 5 hours, what kind (wifi, Web surfing, email, phone call) of use? I can't decide if battery went bad because best mixed use time I'm getting is 4-5 hours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LawStud3nt:
Pull the lib from inside of the apk and push it to your libs folder, wipe cache and reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Quick present for you guys!

from here.

Please read what is and is not working before flashing. I just made this work on Infamous nothing more. Also due to size issues in the system folder this will delete swype!

Enjoy! :cool:

OK let's try this again...

GOOGLE NOW!!!

And now I have added a remove zip for those who want voice search back. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Enjoying this rom so far. I really like the themeing. If anyone would like to theme this so that the Status Bar icons are Blue and the Toggles are blue, I would highly appreciate it.

I am attaching an example from Gingerbread so

PLEASE DON'T FLASH THIS!!

PS. I prefer the battery that is already included with the ROM.

Thanks,

David

IM easily getting 16 to 20 hrs of battery life. I suggest reflashing it

and starting from scratch. Maybe a bad download

Wifi is always turned on and I spend 3 to4 hrs websurfing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Only issue I have is that my battery meter goes a lil haywire. It's jumps from from having a full charge all the way to almost 8% but I think that's due to the theme I installed. Other than that , this ROM is a monster

Edit, my set up is simple... Infamous 2.7.1/ DS kernel v3#5/ CPUSleeper/Dilly`s themes 2.6.~antutu bench is 6191 but that's before mods and tweaks, speedtest is 17.93 down Mbps/1.97 Mbps up. Will retest and give better numbers. That's wifi set
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] webfrm:

Awwww, voice search doesn't work :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gbL420:
here's what happened:

i wasnt getting any signal bars so decided to flash several different radios i found across xda. finally flashed stock t989 ics radio. the signal wasnt an issue it was me being an idiot. after flashing the radios all my keyboards were screwed up, and stuck on shut down screen..factory reset, that didnt help, it made the problem worse i was getting stuck between lockscreen and homescreen, s-voice wasn't responding. the keyboards were working randomly but no sound at all, no ringer, notification, system, media, or alarm sounds. (was considering throwing my phone thru a wall, mightve helped)

went back to complete stock, 2.3.6 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 ), re-installed rom, so far so good, im checking all the things that were giving me problems, keyboards good, sound good, reboot/reboot to recovery good, and power off good.

now i have a few questions so i don't have to go thru all over again. can i safely install s-voice ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662552 ). i wanna install OPs google now but love my sywpe too much lol. is there any way to have both google now and swpye or should i just use s voice.

thanks to all those that tried to help me out with this!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evil Avnovice:
So here's a question for you, Jamison: Inbetween trying out a few custom gingerbread roms that I ended up disliking, I decided to roll back and flash an older version of Infamous (1.2).

I had briefly forgotten about the look of the lock screen from the Ice Cream Sandwich leak that was provided to us in May, so what I wanted to ask was is it possible to include it (lock screen) in a future update, or would I just have to use that prior version of Infamous?

Spoiler content hidden.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Sure thing buddy. I will see how compatible it is with the official release and all the tweaks I have added. Worst case I can always make a separate zip for you my friend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:

I see we are getting something new very soon which is great! I'm not sure if it will still be relevant but i do have a issue when phone is charging.. it states its at 100% but when i go to unplug it it tells me im 90% i am re calibrating the battery atm, where i found i charged to 100% while phone off turned on says charged unplug and its not at 100% more like somewhere in the 90's i get it charged to 100% then wipe bat stats x3 power off take battery out for round a minute put battery in plug in (while off) let it charge to 100% power on with cord in unplug and im at 70%?! :eek: so weird..

This has happened before I started calibrating but only by a few % not by a great deal.

So im not sure if:

A: Something to do with rom with regards to not correctly stating batt stats.

B: Whilst calibrating its throwing everything off whack..

C: All the above.

Just thought i would share this maybe something to look out for in 3.0 perhaps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Check out the red lettering in my response here. try it out and let me know how it works for you.

Didn't have the info I was looking for. Basicly all our phones do not read the real levels. I have included the "die - hard battery calibrator script." It is located under system/xbin/scripts. Run it as root through the included app scripter. Let me know how it works out for you.

Quick question, and I apologize from the get if its been answered already. Its there any diff between beats and dsp? I don't see any. It have spent hrs playing around with the settings but nothing has really changed on sound quality for me. Do I need to interact with the apk internally to make it react or is it automated?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tnallen:
Here is the Google now Jamison modded. I just extracted it from his zip and pushed it into system app.

http://db.tt/l5vrpWds

First navigate to system>>app locate googlequicksearchbox.apk rename googlequicksearchbox.apk.bak

Then move the new Googlequicksearchbox.apk into system>>app change permissions too rw-r--r-- reboot. Jamison said space is limited so you might need to trim some fat while in there. I had no issues but I also trim alot on any Rom.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sippinalizay:
I had a similar issue and I had to re-install the whole ROM all over again cus i couldnt figure it out. If you get to that point of frustration, before re-installing try deleteing the "android" folder on your sd card and then reboot, see if that resolves. I'll do some research on this as well along with you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sippinalizay:
hmm you know what, while logically thinking i thought of this..

run Superuser Permissions, select Root Explorer and tell it to" forget" then rerun Root Explorer and it should ask again if you wish to grant superuser status. Choose yes and check if will let you mount r/w in system. Good luck.
