[HD2 General] ramr37:
So my T-Mobile HD2 is freezing up completely (necessitating battery pull) within a minute or two of turning on and using mobile data. Like the title says, it's happening on both ICS and Gingerbread ROMS.

HSPL 2.08

Radio 2.15.50.14

MAGLDR 1.13

CWM 3.0.0.5

Current ROM: Langthang's HD2 NDT MIUI STABLE VERSION 6.0

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010498)

Previous ROM: NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.0

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1434860)

Both ROMS run well (esp. the current one) except for the mobile data.

I've had the phone for about 16 months. When I first got it in the USA, I didn't trust myself to flash it to Android for the first time, so I had someone else knowledgeable put a Froyo ROM on it. So I can't tell you what version of HSPL he used to flash 2.08 to it. The phone worked fine (except for occasional overheating--it's an HD2, right?), including mobile data. This was in the USA.

Then I moved to Thailand where I didn't use mobile data at all for a long time. Last month I flashed over the old Froyo with the two ROMS (clean install) listed above and have started using mobile data for the first time in Thailand and am now noticing this problem.

More info:

1. Turning mobile data on and not actually using it actively (i.e. just letting whatever few Google things auto-sync in the background) will have it freezing within half an hour. Using it actively will have it freezing in 1-2 minutes.

2. Using a CPU governor (No-frills CPU control) set to the most extreme (“powersave”) keeps it from freezing up the phone for only a little bit longer than having it set to “performance,” so I don’t see the point in using that as a workaround.

I can guess what most people are going to say at this point: dude, you got one of the HD2′s with a hardware overheating problem; sorry, buy a new phone. Well, can’t afford to for a couple months so I’ve been trying to solve it in other ways. And anyway, I’ve stress-tested it with everything but mobile data (heavy use of camera, playing music, videos, and wifi) and no problems. Sure, it sometimes gets warm and might crash very occasionally...but no problems I can't live with.

So why in the name of all that is holy does using mobile data ALWAYS freeze it? :mad:

1. Would flashing a different radio conceivably help? Maybe because a different radio would work better with my carrier here in Thailand? (I know, you have to be careful that your radio is compatible with your ROM, else you brick phone. Also, I don't want to flash radio unless I absolutely have to because it's dangerous-ish).

2. Is HSPL version an issue?

3. Could it be my APN settings? Entering the info (minus the DNS stuff; don't know where that goes) from the following site (http://www.flexispy.com/globalapn.htm) stops mobile data from working at all. My carrier is AIS in Thailand.

Anyone who can help me, it's much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] Mister B:
HSPL fine & radio should be ok but was not best for me in asia but not due to overheating of device ...

Do the fridge test, keep it in fridge for 1hr in plastic bag to protect from moisture then activate data & see how it performs, keep it in fridge as much as possible or cool as possible with aircon, fan or ice bed ...

If you get lot longer times before freezing you can be 100% sure it related to heat & mainboard bga failure under heat.

Thailand is very hot and running temps of phones & notebooks are a lot higher here so a weakness is more easily reached ...

As you say you already have experienced overheating I would assume your mainboard is a bit more sensative to heat than most, we have over 20 HD2s in company use & in over 2yrs only 1 handset has had freezing issues & was mainboard BGA issue & new mainboard fixed it.

I would assume the the functioning of data produces more heat in term of cpu, radio stack & battery in a way that heat soaks the device to failure, I would of thought HQ video playback & heavy wifi use could see same fault so some more stress testing may be an idea too.

you on AIS 3G ?

You could try radio in my signature, I have used it in Thailand & asia pacific with great success so maybe worth a try !
[HD2 General] ramr37:
I've done a little fridge testing and it does seem able to function on mobile data without freezing up. So obviously my phone's more sensitive than average to overheating (and also because of Thailand's heat), but I still wonder if using a different radio would work better and maybe not push my phone "over the edge."

One reason I still think there might be something wrong with the radio version is that I can never get 3G (only EDGE), even in places where I absolutely KNOW there's coverage. The other reason that makes me suspect the radio is the stress-testing I was talking about before. I tried really hard to make my phone overheat with a lot of processor-intensive stuff and I couldn't.

I really don't want to beat a dead horse, but does anyone else have any opinions or ideas before I mess with flashing a different radio?
[HD2 General] ramr37:
P.S. Thanks for the link to your radio, Mister B. :)
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
IMO Mr. B is right about overheating motherboard, but couldn't harm anyone to flash another radio version.

Even I'm reservated on this, I wish you GOOD LUCK!
[HD2 General] Mister B:
No 3G: Is 3g enabled in phone settings ?, is 3G enabled on your AIS sim card account ?

Trying another radio will do no harm & may help as might using the least resource hungry ROMs ... Android is a power hungry bulk of an OS & most mainboard faults only appear on Android or are worse on android ...

I have same TMOUS HD2 & 3G works fine here so no issues with phone Radios bands as many worry about ...
[HD2 General] ramr37:
Mister B,

After writing that huge long post...I might be an idiot. :o

3g was enabled in my Android settings, but I didn't know it had to be enabled on the sim card. I'll go to a phone shop tomorrow and ask them about it.

Thanks everyone for their advice.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I not know who the idiot :) but worth checking as I believe if not buying a sim packaged as 3G you do not get 3G without getting account upgrade .

Confirmation either way will be useful ...

Unfortunately AIS website is a very good example on how to have a huge amount of content & over complex account types but absolutely no easy to find useful clear facts ...
[HD2 General] ramr37:
Mister B,

1. Went to a phone shop and explained my problem. The guy there told me that he didn't think my phone was compatible with AIS' 3G band...but you have working 3G in Thailand with a T-Mobile HD2. Is your carrier TOT Mobile? Xda won't let me post outside links yet because I'm new, but I looked up the specs on the T-Mobile HD2 and on Thailand's mobile phone bands and it looks like the only carrier the T-Mobile HD2 can use 3g on is TOT Mobile (only carrier with either a 1700 or 2100 band).

2. Also, when I first got my SIM card here last year, I got a regular one, not a 3G one. The way I signed up for 3G was just by looking up and texting a code to AIS to subscribe to 3G service. I thought that was all I had to do. It seemed to work, except for only being able to get 2G. (I'm in Chiang Mai, and I know AIS has good 3G coverage here; I've experimented using my phone all over the city, but no 3G). So it looks like you're right in your last post about needing a 3G SIM card or an account upgrade.

Thanks again for your all your help. Would you mind confirming that your carrier is actually TOT Mobile? It would help me troubleshoot.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I use TOT for 3G (iKool) & DTAC for 2G Edge.

I thought AIS had license for 2100MHz 3G but if on 900MHz then will not work on AIS until upgrade there network.

Thailands 3G is a bit of a bodge effort until licensing is approved.

I would assume your current sim is not at fault & if you activated 3G via sms code it should be 3G active & just the current band being the limitation ...

How I wish 3 network would come to Thailand, their HK network is superb ...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredi:
Hi all.

ive been floating around the forums for some time as an unregistered user but i now have to resort to posting for help.

fist of all heres my details

Android version 4.0.3

Baseband 19100XXLPQ

Kernel 19100XXLPQ

Build IML74k.XXLPQ

ok so first of all id like to know if it matters that the serial on the phone does not match that on the sticker behind the battery although the IMEI number does,from what ive read on the forums this may be because i flashed a non official ROM?

when i originally flashed to ICS the signal was poor but i still used the phone and now i have no signal at all at home,

if i try and dial a number i either get `mobile network not available or not registered with network.

ive flashed the phone with so many roms,kernels and modems now that im in a complete mess with what ive actually done.

i checked with my provider `3 UK` if the phone was/is blacklisted but its not,ive had the sim replaced with a new one and also tried another 3 payg sim.

im not normally one to give up but i admit im getting close to it.

in hind sight i wish id taken a full back up whilst on gingerbread or even never upgraded to ICS in the first place ..ah well :p

so my thanks in advance if someone can help me and apologies in advance also if ive missed any information out.

cheers

theredi
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredi:
just to add to this,

i just stood outside and scanned for networks,the 3 network appeared but when i select it it says:

your sim card does not allow a connection to this network

i spoke to 3 just incase its their end but they insist its nothing to do with their sim and is my phone thats the problem.

this is a sim only contract by the way the phone did not come from 3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
so u hav no signal??

imei may got reseted..

flash stock rom an c....

jus my sugettion wen in xda don float get registered:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredi:
i have no signal or at best its extremely poor,just enough to scan for a network.

what do you mean imei may have been reset? the imei is the same as it was originally.

and ive flashed lots of stock roms and had no luck as of yet.

just tried android 2.3.5

Baseband 19100XXKI4

Kernel 19100XXKI4

Build gingernuts XXKI$

and its exactly the same :S

think ill just take the dog for a walk to the pub and see if theres an answer at the bottom of any pint glasses ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
IMEI correct YES ''

3 uk modem ???

Should be on xda I9100_radio_NELP2_CWM

network have you entered the network settings ???

....................................

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove battery

Boot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredi:
ok i installed I9100_radio_NELP2_CWM

i tried to post the link of where i got the file but im not allowed as im still noobed.

phone has 1 signal bar just about but keeps dropping to nothing,if i scan for networks operators it finds o2 but not 3 :(

thanks for the replys by the way.

i dont see what else to change in the network settings.

network mode is GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I meant have you entered the networks settings as supplied by 3 or are you hoping its auto set up after multiple flashing you may have wrong CSC .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
so is ur prblm solved did u enter settings as jje said,,,,if ur phone is working fine now,then post
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredi:
no my problem is not solved however i have some updates after driving around the area (going to the pub)

ive not changed any network setting as i see nothing there to change.

i managed to get a few signal bars and searched for available networks,3 was ther,when i selected it i got this message:

unable to change networks while data service is in use.stop using current data service and select another available network?

i said ` ok`

...registering on 3...

...registered on 3 network.

after this i was able to make a call.

i noted some info at this point incase it has any relevance :

Signal bars: 2

signal strength -109 dbm 2 asu

Mobile network type:9

service state: in service

network:3

phone number : unknown

this happened in one spot on a 1 mile journey.

and now im back at home the signal is back to nothing.

the 3 signal in this area is normally pretty good so something isnt right

the info now is:

Signal bars 0 - 1

signal strength -111 1 asu

Mobile network type: unknown:0

network: unknown

service state: out of service

mobile number:unknown

ive always had a good signal at home and for all of the journey i just made but now it seems to only pick up in a very limited spot.

ive not entered any network settings at all,like i said theres not much i can see that needs changing?

thanks for your input guys its really appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scissors_cut_paper:
I don't know if its your issue,but I had several phones on 3 which all had awful signal strength- I just changed to a different network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredi:
3 isnt the problem here,everything was fine until i started fixing things that arent broke, and im old enough to know better :S

ive been with 3 for as long as i can remember with lots of different phones and never had any signal problems where i live up until now.

still unsolved
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1cky:
Weird. I have exactly the same problem. except Im on irish network meteor. same symptoms. ben on ics for ages, flashed a cm9 rom. nothing unusual,bam. no signal or very little.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookzUK:
try flashing NEKF2 or NELP3 modem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlurrOVO:
I have issues with 3 UK too, mainly because I like having the option to switch back to 2G to 3G to H, but 3 doesn't like the idea of GPRS so that's out the equation :rolleyes: Plus, the network is pretty piss poor. I'm looking for a better modem, in all hope.

[HTC One X] a704e:
Does anyone else get white noise (similar to a television) in the background when listening to the music player or YouTube etc using headphones? So far I've tried two pairs besides the stock (which didn't have this problem but maybe that's because the quality is so bad you can't notice) so I don't think it's the headphones that are the problem.
[HTC One X] okini:
I'm experiencing there very same problem especially after listening to YouTube videos. Not really noticeable while listening to the music on high volume but after turning the video or music off I get a very disturbing noise in the headphones
[HTC One X] treebill:
It's a problem with the audio chip I think it happen on all roms I've tried.
[HTC One X] a704e:
Does this happen on every One X or just certain ones?
[HTC One X] batna.antab:
Im using a 300 dollar headphone (sennheiser) and i cant hear the noise ...

Maybe the problem are the headphones you used , try to use one whit better quality...
[HTC One X] a704e:
Well, I've never experienced this problem when using these headphones with any other device, and as I said I have tried two different pairs. Also $300 is a lot to pay for a set of headphones.
[HTC One X] twe69:
I get the same issue, am sure others do too. One way round it is to use a bluetooth apt-x compatible adaptor I think.....

Although if others don't get it then I would like to know too, then I will send it back for a replacement!
[HTC One X] debully:
I don't give a flying feck how expensive the earphones you use are. There is white noise at low sounds levels due to the tegra 3's useless DAC. Delusional types wont accept this tho so brace yourself for the odd pre pubescent tantrum below:
[HTC One X] okini:
its the headphones that comes with the phone guys. Im using the HOX headphones with PC and the same thing happens on the PC. Nothing to do with the phone itself.
[HTC One X] debully:
Oh thanks. I'll return the bundled phones then. And my SH Cx300/2's, and my Monster Beats, and my girlfriend's JVC's then.

Like I say, delusional.
[HTC One X] a704e:
This person okini obviously didn't even read my first post.
[HTC One X] Spastafarian:
I'm getting the same thing... I don't think it just happens with headphones though. If you listen carefully to the phones speakers while playing audio you can hear it too. It's definitely more noticeable with YouTube but it's there for all audio. Really annoying. Has anyone tried playing audio through Bluetooth and do you get the same issue?

Its gotta be a software issue, cuz I think I read somewhere the one x and note use the same panel tech right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Sadly, the black crush problem, or "black clipping," is a very well known issue on both the i717 and n7000 Notes. It doesn't look like the official ICS update is going to fix the problem, but at least one n7000 developer, Supercurio, says he may be able to fix it once we have the official ICS source code.

Even though the problem affects nearly every Note, Samsung has never even acknowledged that the problem exists. :(

Keep your fingers crossed...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toxicthunder:
The latest Android upgrade has seen a sudden burst of emotion from every corner. From blessings to curses, everyone has been eager to slap on their comments with much vigor, and all the more brutality.

New users wanting to flaunt their know-how, ancient developers suddenly coming out of hibernation to groan at the state of affairs, and worst of all, people squabbling and hurling accusations at our till-a-week-ago awesome developers for anything and everything wrong under the sun (and perhaps beyond it as well)

Instead of cribbing, groaning and showering multitudes of discouraging statements across entire threads, why not do something fruitful?

Why not use that BIG SEARCH BAR before your fingers start flying over the keyboard?

Why not read each and every guide so painstakingly compiled by the developers, thoroughly?

Why not for once actually follow each and every step rather than show just how omniscient we can be?

Developers here devote so much of their time (

4 of them even bricked their phones

) just to bring us the best there is, the best there can be. And all we do is quickly lap it up, sing praises, write eulogies, but when things go awry, point our fingers at them?

I think this calls for some retrospection. I am no established developer, nor do I claim to be one. Testing releases, providing genuine feedback and helping in my own little way is the most I can do. And even that somehow gets frustrating when you're faced with the same questions again and again.

Think of what the devs have to face when they're 'judged' by us, when they are bombarded with personal messages asking stupid questions, and on the whole not allowed to do what they want to do.

I might be going overboard, but I feel the message has to reach out to every corner. Help each other, show your support; you wouldn't be biting into your sandwiches if they hadn't splashed the ice-cream on for you.

If something's wrong, cry yourself a river.

But then don't forget to build a bridge and get over it.​

------------------------------------------------

When we talk of responsibility towards other users, it implies that we do not DELIBERATELY try to cause any form of damage to the user or to his device. And I am sure that is the last thing on anyone's mind (or so I hope).

And if we still want to enter into the legal technicalities of the issue, I can very well claim without hesitation that whenever any person willingly signs up for forums of these kind, willingly and consciously attempts to execute any process listed herein - he automatically loses immunity to any loss he may incur as a result of his actions, and thereby forfeits any semblance of legal refuge that he might have.

Despite this, developers post repeated warnings in their guides and that is the best that they can do. Users must understand that what they undertake is at their own risk. No point arguing on the fact that Super User X or Noob User Y bricked his phone because of something that Uber Cool Dev Z posted in any of the threads.

We don't know what we want.

Yet we are willing to fight to the death to get it?

Peace and Respect. Everybody.
