[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhasko:
Samsung Nexus S I9023 (Australian stock)

Baseband version I9020XXKI1 (from bootloader screen)

Baseband version I9023XXKI1 (from System Settings>About phone)

Bootloader version I9020XXKL1 (from bootloader screen)

Kernel version 3.0.8-g6656123

I have been using my Nexus S I9023 with official OTA 4.0.4 (and 4.0.3 before update) with no wifi or network problems. Yesterday however I decided to unlock bootloader, gain root access and flash a custom rom for performance/battery life purposes. I flashed CyberGR-MOD v.11 with the stock kernel and radio with CWM, with no other add-ons flashed.

It went well except for the fact that wifi has not been able to turn on since the first reboot. The switch will attempt to slide to 'On' but flickers, and hangs on 'Turning Wi-Fi on..' It makes no difference whether the SIM is inserted or not, Wi-Fi just does not turn on. Under 'Advanced' WiFi settings, WiFi MAC address and IP address are both Unavailable.

I have been searching for fixes for the last day, such as the WiFix apk found on this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445766) but nothing has worked. I have tried flashing other ROMs, reverting to stock OTA 4.0.3 and relocking the bootloader to return the phone to stock, but WiFi will not turn on in any configuration.

Portable WiFi hotspot also will not work, with merely 'Error' being reported when I try to turn it on.

Is the disparity between bootloader/phone stats regarding baseband version an indicator that I flashed incorrectly? Is it a radio problem?

Would greatly appreciate some speedy responses as I cannot seem to find any solutions to this particular problem.

[EDIT] Fixed problem by installing new kernel, was not able to do this before as my version of CWM was bugged and required an update. From then on was able to flash new files, kernel was the answer!

I understand that the Dial Keypad can be used to search for names from contact lists.

However it only searches for First Name.

I was once able to use this search for Last Name as well. But after i played around with some custom firmware and i resetted it does not search Last Name from dial keypad.

I just updated to stock ICS firmware, and its still the same.

Is there a setting which i can enable or anything to make this work?

Thanks

Hi

Sometimes when I call somebody, or someone call me, my screen turns black. I can still talk with the person, but afterwards I have to pull the battery out.

It's not always when I call somebody it happens.

Does anybody know how I can fix this?
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
I think maybe it's the proximity sensor. Have you tried to speak with loudspeaker and not to cover the sensor? That is a way to see what is causing the problem.
[HTC Sensation XL] harrybigs:
Hi. I'm to the forum. Mostly read but never replied anytime as most the issues are already replied before :D

Just want to share, i had the exact black screen problem in Samsung GS2, and it was the proximity sensor problem. Suggest to repair it in the HTC service center.
[HTC Sensation XL] Daabeck:
Actually, it doesn't happen so much anymore.

So at first i'll try to do it without the loud speaker, and if the screen turns black, i'll try to do it with loud speaker :)

The biggest problem right now is, that sometimes, it can be when im writing a text message, playing a game etc. The phone immediately shuts down, with no logo. I can turn it back on again, but then i loads slowly and shuts down when I have to write the PIN, it's first when I turn it on the third time it works again :/
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
sounds like a dogy mobo, i'd send it back to HTC asap before it gets worse :)
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Yes! With this conditions you should send it back for repair...
[HTC Sensation XL] Daabeck:
I'll try that ;)
[General Questions and Answers] zakkkkk:
Hi, I was deleting my SD card ext 3 partition using minitool and I successfully deleted it but strangly my fat32 partition has also gone and it shows as unallocated. My phone doesn't recognize the card and on minitool when I right click it only says create. So please answer what do I do from here?
[General Questions and Answers] Faiz Malkani:
Ur fat32 is supposed to go

And u have to use create

Right click on the unallocated space and click create. Select type as fat32 and size as maximum.

Click the apply button
[General Questions and Answers] zakkkkk:
Thanks for the answer but when I do this and click apply it says done but it changes back to unallocated and it says unformatted instead of fat32. Do I set it to primary or logical and can you give more detail please thank you (sorry for NOOBISM)
[General Questions and Answers] Faiz Malkani:
Set it to primary and try.
[General Questions and Answers] zakkkkk:
a. Primary partition/logical partition.- I set it to primary

b. Drive letter.- Any

c. Type of file system.- Fat32

D. Cluster Size.- What should I set this?

e. Volume label of the partition.- What should I call this?
[General Questions and Answers] Faiz Malkani:
What's the default cluster size?

Set the label to anything. Like my SD card. Etc
[General Questions and Answers] zakkkkk:
Thanks for the Answers. Not sure what the default cluster size is. I will try to create fat32 partition at night. Not at home at the moment. Will let you know
[General Questions and Answers] leafwarbler:
Maybe you wipe the fat 32 partition, then it was unallocated partition. Right click and choose create partition, you can type the partition label (you can type any label you want), drive letter, and files system. If you want to change the cluster size, you can use the function Change cluster size to choose a bigger one than your former cluster size.

Hi,

Is there any way to protect apps from being killed by android..?

For example, I listen to podcasts using Google Listen, and sometimes while I'm doing this I might want to play a game... So I start the podcast playing, and then start up the game. However, after a couple of minutes, Listen will get killed as android tries to free up memory by killing background apps. Is there any way to protect Listen (and other apps) from being killed in this way?

I'm using stock ICS (on Arc S), and I don't really want to install a custom ROM...

Thanks for your help,

Matt

how i can move the apps that on the Old microSD to the new one ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhani88_TotallyNooob:
The easiest n safest way for me.. :D

1. Backup your old apps using titanium backups

2. Copy titanium backups folder from your old SD card to the new one..

3. Insert your new SD card to your phone, restore it using titanium back up.

4. done.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
thnx
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Another good method is to create a backup folder on your PC and copy your old sdcard there. Then copy it back to the new card. This has the advantage of giving you a backup in case of failure of the sdcard or the Titanium Backup not restoring properly.

Of course, if you're really OCD like I am, you could do both! :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
first, i already backed up on my PC

second, i dont have titanuim backup (i cant install it)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:
First, don't be a douchebag.

Second, delete useless apps.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
if i backup all my files on the new micro, its will save the apps on it ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
No, it will save the data on it (if present). You will have to reinstall your apps, or restore them using Titanium Backup, as mentioned before. You will need root access for the last one.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
someone have "titanuimback" zip for cwm ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhani88_TotallyNooob:
I don't know if there's titanium backup .zip..

why u can't install titanium backup...?

Is your device already rooted..?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
yes, but i cant install it, its says that i dont have enough memory.

but i have 90Mb free.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
OMG

I just move the apps on SDcard to phone (by link2SD)

and then i tried to install titanuim backup and it worked.

i guess that its installing on SDcard.

bb, thnx for the helpers
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beez1717:
I would use my external memory card reader that I use for my Mac and plug it into my eePC and the built in sd card reader. Then all I do is copy the files straight over to my new card no problem. If I didn't have that option then I might make a disk image of my current sd card and have my new card be restored from that image. That way I could be sure that the new card is EXACTLY the same as my old one. I've burned disk images like this so I can install Linux onto a computer and I don't see why it won't work for an sd card.

Hi people,

Trying to get to hboot/fastboot mode, I repeatedly hit power-off with the 10 sec timeout (because of the unamovible battery) and ended with a bricked device. :confused:

Appears as QHSUB_DLOAD/Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 on the pc now.

Any way to boot it again without RMA ?

Regards,
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
The correct way to go to hboot/fastboot is hold power + volume down.

hit power-off with the 10 sec timeout is to restart device (emulating the battery pull).
[HTC One V] fradav:
I *know* it's power+volume down for fast boot, but BEFORE that you have to do the "battery pull" with the ten sec power-off, which timed incorrectly, ends with a reboot. The problem is that if you do the ten sec power-off repeatedly (for example while it is still booting), you brick it. Simple as that.

Anyway I tried everything I can think off to revive the phone, 10 sec power, 20 sec power + volume down/up and so on, to no avail. It's still black screen and in QSHUSB_LOAD mode.
[HTC One V] tuylongdon:
just do like ckpv5 said
[HTC One V] fradav:
Perhaps I am unclear, but I'm not trying to go to fastboot : I'm trying to *start* the phone again. Holding the power button ten sec : I just said I did it to no avail, while charging or without. It is still black screen, and recognized as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" in device manager when plugged.
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
I read various threads on the error that you have.

Basically it is the hardware failure due to partition get corrupted, only HTC can repair it so you need to send it to HTC service centre.
[HTC One V] fradav:
That's the conclusion I came about, too. Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
So i just got a sim card for my phone. Well i get amazing service at my moms house and thats cause theres a tower right next to us at the local ski resort. However at my fathers house i get horrible service. If i pick up my phone i loose service completely, ive done the hardware fix, which didnt help, and when i do have service its always JUST edge. When according to T-Mobile's coverage map i am flooded with 3g and some 4g all around me.

So im guessing it MUST be the phone. In addition to the hardware fix, im thinking about soldering a 26-30 gauge wire to the two prongs and laying the wire around the device. like the perimiter of the Mobo. Giving it an antenna like my HTC Touch Pro 2.

Also, would flashing a newer radio help any? If i am able to flash a newer radio cause i know in order for android to work that it must be a certain radio. Howerver now that android is set up will i be able to flash one? Im on CLk btw.

Secondly, when i have service its EDGE, but occasionally it will jump to H symbol (Im guessing this is HSDPA) now the reason its jumpping would have to be lack of service, my guessing that is. To me its the equivelant of jumping from 3G to 1x on Sprints network.

Also what is G? lol i am at G now not E or H just G lol. Sorry for my noobishness but im coming from a Sprint CDMA network :)

Similar problem

Hey, I've had my HD2 T-mob for over a year now imported to New Zealand. And I'm running on 2degree's(Vodafone) here which runs on GSM and UMTS, I only get reception in cities and it still cuts out when I'm in very low residential areas. I get absolutely no reception outside of any city and it's just completely unreliable, My baseband is 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14 I don't know too much about this stuff but I'm pretty sure I'm running the most up to date radio. Any help or recommendations would be superb.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
Well after much googling hoping to find a software fix, there isnt any. Its the hardware of the phone(in my case anyhow) T-Mobile's coverage says i have strong 3G and some 4G (like if i drive 5 mins) but yet i can barely pic up edge. So i took apart my phone and solderd two wires the the prongs and BOOM easily 3G was picked up two - three bars. BUT i couldnt reassemble the device because the wires were too big. All in all it comes down to HTC putting in a lowsy antenna. It works good if youre right next to a tower but second you go away it sucks. I mean heck, i bought a cheap 29 dollar T-Mobile prepaid samsung phone and that had 2 bars solid of 3G. So i know the service is there but its just that the phone cannot pick it up.

Hello guys, i finally update my phone with neat rom and install the cf-root lp8 without problems and everything works ok.

the only problem is that when i try to use the phone, after i tip one number my phone crashes and says "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" and a few seconds later it says that TwLauncher is not responding.

I went to google sync and disable the contacts sync, rebooted but nothing changes, it keeps giving me that error. Is there a way to fix it without restoring to factory settings or something like that?

Same issue

I'm running Pure ICS v7.3 and I've ended up having this issue twice now.

I'm not sure if this is related to the ROM itself. Different users with using different ROMs seem to be having this same issue so I'll continue this thread before asking elsewhere.

I can mention that I have read the full thread for Pure ICS without finding anything that seems related to my issue.

Background:

Phone: SGSII

Android version: 4.0.3

Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484dpi@DELL154 #3

What I've done:

Since I got this issue first time I wiped data, restored to factory, wiped Dalvik, cache, reseted permissions, reinstalled the ROM. Probably wiped data and cache after install as well (don't know if that matters).

After doing all this everything worked fine, just as it did after first install.

The issue appears after a couple of days.

Issue:

Starting dialer crashes Contacts prompting: "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped".

This time around I've tried to uncheck sync with Contacts with Google account, restarted phone, rechecked - Still same issue.

Tried going Settings --> Applications --> All

Then I wiped data for Contacts and Contacts Storage.

Still same issue.

Tried doing the uncheck --> check thingie with Google account again. Still no success.

I've been doing this in various combinations and I'm not able to stop the Dialer from crashing.

Contacts works just fine otherwise.

Last thing I will mention is that I have an app called HaxSync which also interacts with contacts. I've both tried to unchech sync for that app and the first time around (before wipe) I tried uninstalling that app. No success there either.

The wierd thing is that everything is working like a charm. A couple of days goes by without me installing anything, not doing any settings change or anything.

Then this error reoccours.

Sorry for the long story but I wanted to give as specific details as possible.

One more thingie!

I just remembered that I've used SMS Backup & Restore to restore my messages each time I've installed this ROM. I don't know if this is relevant but I thought I'd mention it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lady_Chloe:
I am running Spike pure ICS too and the contacts app crashes every time I try to delete a contact. The contact gets deleted but the app hangs for a bit and then crashes. I am not sure if it is related, I am not using the dialer much. But the contacts app is definitely not working correctly.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lady_Chloe:
Unfortunately, this did not help me. The contacts app still crashes. It is either connected to the rom or to duplicate contacts from WhatsApp. It didn't happen with an older version of Spike pure ICS but I didn't have WhatsApp at the time either. I guess I just have to wait until a new version of the rom comes out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Susning:
Clearing Contacts and Contacts Storage solved the issue at first.

The issue reoccurs if I reject a call. Then it's back to crashing as soon as I open the dialer.

I'm not running WhatsApp and never had it installed.

Still can't use dialer.

Issue solved.

Yesterday I upgraded to Spikes Pure ICS 7.5 and the issue was resolved.
