[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutal-Hardcore:
I went back to stock GB (2.3.6) with cf root and it works again.

And strangly i have no yellow triangle... lol

(Flashed with odin mobile)

I'm going to update to ics to see if it still works.

So i'll update here soon.

Hopefully i can find the problem that couses sgs2 to freeze when connecting to hdmi with mhl adaptor.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
Did you ever manage to find the cause of this fault. I have used my MHL adapter once and it worked fine but I just bought it as a a gadget more than a needed item so other than testing it I never used it again. Anyways I decided to connect it up to one of my bedrooms tvs to get me US netflix and was getting no output at all. Sometimes the phone will freeze others just nothing. If I try it on a monitor its comes out of power saving suggesting it has sync just not actual output. Can't remember though If when I last tested it I was on GB?

Also to confirm I have done a full erase etc and it didn't resolve the issue (dammit forgot to backup radiant defence :D)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
Ok I think it's deffo the MHL adapter. Though its not a Samsung branded adapter its not a cheap ebay china effort and did work before. Managed to test it on a m8s s2 and he is still on GB and it doesn't output any images and will sometimes freeze. I'll just RMA it and report back here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hathomer:
Has anyone found a solution to the freezing problem?

My case is strange because I managed to get the MHL adapter to work under certain combinations

but not in the combination I wanted.

I wanted to get it to work on the Galaxy S2 with ICS on a Sharp TV.

When I tried, no matter in what order it's plugged in, as soon as the MHL adapter and HDMI cable are connected to the phone and TV, the phone freezes!

The adapter seems to work fine under Gingerbread on the Sharp TV.

Under ICS, I tried various combinations of ROMs and kernels but the results, with the Sharp TV, was always the same.

The strange thing is it works under ICS when plugged into a PC monitor (Samsung) and it also worked on another TV.

I can't remember the make but it was either a Samsung or Panasonic hotel room TV!

I still fail to see any logic in the above!

Any help, please.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
OK I got my RMA through this morning for my replacement MHL lead and would like to confirm that it is working fine. For such a simply cable my guess is it might be related to the HDMI handshake that is failing or HDCP?

Anyways to confirm I am using a StarTech MHL (MHD2HDF) quality build.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
forget what I just said I I have just tested again but it froze on me. But I did the following and got it back on screen

1. Remove MHL Lead

2. Power off phone - because it had crashed I had to hold power button it

3. Whilst booting plugged in mhl lead

4. Once booting display was on my monitor again working fine.

My guess it will freeze again could be an ics fault?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutal-Hardcore:
Thx going to try those steps tomorrow.

First i'm going back to original ics.

I'll post if it worked or not :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SporadicIdiocy:
I just had the same problem, phone freezes when I connect the MHL cable. It worked before but somehow it didn't this time.

I tried rebooting but still the same..then I tried connecting in different order and voila! It worked..:good:

I connected the MHL cable to my phone first, then the HDMI cable(already connected to my monitor), then the USB power.

Maybe someone wanna try to connect in this order and see if it works? :fingers-crossed:

BTW I'm using stock ICS ROM with Siyah Rooted Kernel v3.32
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutal-Hardcore:
That did not work :(

But i think MHL on [JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID 1.97 is almost working.

I tried it today with it and the sgs was responding as a docking station.

I don't have the freezes anymore but still no screen on my LCD tv
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igna200:
i tried that but nothing :rolleyes:.....the screen still freezes....can anybody help? i am running on the official stock rom ics and i want to connect the gsii to a sony bravia tv via the original mhl samsung adapter....plz help me by keeping the ics i dont really want to go back on gb...but if this is still the only solution i cant do anything else....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hathomer:
I've got a similar problem to you but using a Sharp TV and would appreciate any advice or ideas

I'm still puzzled by my issue

I'm using the same MHL Adapter, HDMI cable and power lead:

The combination that I'm after is ICS displaying on a Sharp TV

GB 2.3.6 --> Sharp ------> Works fine

ICS 4.0.3 --> Sharp ------> Phone freezes

ICS 4.0.4 --> Sharp ------> No freeze but no display

GB, ICS --> Monitor (through HDMI to DVI cable) -----> Works fine

GB, ICS --> Samsung or LG TV -----> Works fine

So the problem combination is ICS to Sharp TV !

I tried various roms (incl. Samsung Stock) and various kernels but with the same results.

Any ideas what else I can try?

Thank you.

Hello, I'm looking for the best ROM as far as battery life for my mother in laws phone. Right now she is running stock. Any help would be much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Leave it stock. The second you touch it you'll probably find that it's "your fault" for any misbehavior...

I learned a long time ago to LEAVE MY WIFE'S PHONES ALONE!
[HTC Sensation] Deathsongx3:
Don't touch her phone ;_;

If you brick it, you'll have to pay for it

But if you're willing to risk it, Virtuous Inquisition has the best battery life.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
HyperSensation running Faux 6 kernel is just insanely good battery life.

However, as others have stated....you are best to leave it alone. Anything that isnt perfect after you touch it will be your fault, whether it actually is or isnt.

What you could do is root it, leave it stock, and put Faux 6 kernel on it. That should help considerably all behind the scenes so it wont change anything she has set up.

Still....leaving it alone is your best bet

I didn't even tell them a model. Just said the rep put on a smartphone data when I don't need that as I have a flip phone and they changed it
[General Questions and Answers] testmike:
OP, I'm actually going through the same thing. I'm on AT&T and had the $10 medianet plan on my old phone. When I put my SIM card into the Xperia S, AT&-ripoff-T immediately recognized my phone as a Palm Treo on their online account manager :eek:

A few days later, and now when I log onto the online account manager, it shows a greyed-out flip phone. I still have not put the APN settings into the Xperia S, but I'm going to wait and see if they send me the dreaded "we've added an appropriate data plan for your convenience" text. If I don't get that text in the next 2 weeks, then I'll go ahead and put in the APN settings. Otherwise, I'll have to call them :mad:
[General Questions and Answers] Funzy32:
I actually got this straightened out yesterday. did a chat with at&t and it showed my phone as greyed out flip phone. I gave them the imei and all went through fine. Now I have the $10 Unlimited Medianet plan. Works great.
[General Questions and Answers] testmike:
That's really great to hear, Funzy! Glad you got the plan you wanted.

So, your phone showed up in online account manager as a greyed-out flip phone as well? Since I already have the medianet plan on my account, I guess I can go ahead and set up the APN.

Question: you gave them the IMEI of the Xperia S? I was thinking of giving them an IMEI of an old Nokia "dumb-phone".
[General Questions and Answers] Funzy32:
Yea. Just give them the IMEI of the Xperia. Then she said that being its not an AT&T phone she cannot guarantee it would work. She changed it and I did my side with the APN and bang.. The H Showed and all is good.

Awesome! Thank you very much for your advice! I now have some good "ammunition" ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanide^:
Hi there,

So I might be posting this in the wrong place on the forums so sorry if it is! I am wanting to root my desire HD to get a ICS rom, but need to know a few things:

1. I am currently running Unbranded Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0, which root application would be best for me to use.

2. Can I switch back to the factory default rom easy, or do i need to do a reinstall of this from somewhere when I want to. I mean for example can i just backup the factory rom and restart the phone straight back into it without reinstalling.

3. Do I need to backup all files before I install a new rom.

4. Is there a high risk that my phone will stop working completely.

Like I said not sure if this is right place but i just want to find out some things before I root my phone and how would be best to do this. But this is an area I am interested in but want to know a few things so I don't damage my phone!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
There is always the risk of bricking/softbricking your phone however slim the chances are. Before you do anything, reading is crucial. Once you are done, read it again and then some more.

The only sure method I know to root is using the ace hack kit (somebody please correct me-it seems I just misplaced the name). That manual was designed in such a way to make new users get acostumed to reading and finding out the answers by themselves. What you just asked has been answered multiple times and almost any other question you have will almost surely have already been answered. Hence, use the search feature.

Once you root your phone you will be S-OFF, your warranty will be voided. You can always revert it, something I have not ventured into, but it is there.

After you root, you ought to download rom manager, 4ext recovery, rom toolbox, thats up to you. 4ext is the prefference of most users here.

You can use any of those to make a backup of your current rom once you have rooted your cell.

Before installing the rom of your choice, read the thread. You should wipe your internal memory - aka, full wipe. You can do it manually through any of the programs mentioned above or search for a full wipe script in the forums.

After the full wipe, install (flash) the rom of your choice. First boot usually takes about five minutes for most roms - just an average. If it takes any longer you may have flashed a bad download or did something wrong. If this happens just erase everything from recovery (to enter recovery while the phone is off press down the volume button while holding the power button). You can also enter the recovery through those programs mentioned while running your cell, some roms have the option after pressing the power button and selecting reboot.

Most ICS roms are still in their beta phase - but thats mainly because there are a few minor bugs or because the videocamara doesn't work. Those issues will be corrected once htc releases ICS for the dhd, or someone manages to hack it.

Happy flashing, it's quite addictive.

So I have the international Version of the HTC ONE X on the AT&T Network. For some reason when I go to send messages sometimes it works and then other times it just says "unable to send message". I do notice the signal going to 3G then it says H and then Edge. I'm pretty new to the android ordeal so not sure of what to expect. Can anyone help me out? I also rooted the phone and used a few roms but it didn't help. I am back on the stock rom which I made a backup of. Any ideas? Anyone else having problems with sms and mms on AT&T with the HTC ONE X.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Apn issue I think. You probably didn't add the apn needed for mms.

Google att apn mms
[HTC One X] JustanotherDay12:
Hey!!! I did put the ATT APN. Looked at a few Youtube videos also just to make sure I am on the right path and they all seem to use the same ATT apn. I restarted phone a few times and put airplane mode to shut off the signal then turn it on just to try like a reset that way and nothing. Sometimes it works and messages go through and sometimes it doesn't work. Makes me loco lol thanks for writing.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
does at&t have this enabled on their end? for some it was a matter of going to at&t and having it straightened out.
[HTC One X] JustanotherDay12:
I did call ATT and they asked for the IMEI of the phone. I gave it to them and they told me everything was "provisioned" and should work well. I did use APN settings. I restarted the phone thinking maybe that could be an issue but it did not work. Any other ideas?
[HTC One X] 1earful:
you could try downloading another app like handcent, which gives you a little more control over settings (including much larger mms size) than the resident app and try to use that as a way of double checking the problem. i'm on at&t prepaid with an int'l one x and don't text much. but when i got on the network, i sent a couple of texts and mms just to see if the service was working well. seemed to be fine for me.

btw, is your micro-sim new from at&t or maybe transferred from an iphone? some former iphone users who transferred sims have reported problems with texting/email. i think they had to make sure their iphones were wiped first before transferring the micro-sim over.

[Galaxy S III General] Besthiroeu:
Seems that pre-production unit has some nice battery life!

Here's the source.

Samsung talked alot about battery life so I kinda expected this results. Maybe phosphorescent green pixels helped to achive better results in web browsing tests, or this technology never made into SGS III? What do you think?

See how other phones performed in same tests:

One X

iPhone 4S

Galaxy Note

Galaxy SII

[Galaxy S III General] ale0crysis:

[Galaxy S III General] SirCanealot:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_ics_vs_gingerbread-review-737p4.php

Web browsing is only slightly better than their SGS2 ICS review though.

Call and video tests are fantastic though! Hopefully we're looking at a little more life than the S2. I usually have the screen very low anyway ;D
[Galaxy S III General] ale0crysis:
Yes but remember GS III has a 4.8 " display HD...;)
[Galaxy S III General] SirCanealot:
Which is very true, but GS3 also has a massive battery. 2100 instead of 1650mah :P

Still good numbers though!
[Galaxy S III General] ale0crysis:
the important is you can enjoy the device 1 full day on hard use and maybe on daily use 2 days
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:

I haven't owned a phone for a while where the battery time didn't see improvement on some of the roms and see no reason why that would change with this one.

Only 2500? Id like to see a 2750 or like that. Wont add that much to design and it would be awesome! 40+ hour's is great, add on maybe +5 and that would be great. Wishful thinking if it was a 3300 ext battery like a RAZR. If only it wasn't Motorola.
[Galaxy S III General] FISKER_Q:
Yes, of course.

But i still don't believe that the display uses less power than the internals in a low power state with the 3g antenna active.

You do know it's using a new low power radio as well don't you?

Never understood why people make comments on things they clearly don't understand or know about. S3 using a lot of different things compared to the Nexus. You can't really compare them.

[Galaxy S III General] :

[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
I love everyone that immediately just shouts you must be an HTC fan.....this is my first HTC phone. Had all the galaxy flagships before this.

Wanna know what's more important than video time? Web browsing. Samoled drains on web browser and white colors.

Gsm arena stats are outdated for one x. Anandtech has updated software.....they got 7 hours of 3g web browsing on one x.

As more reviews and real sources come out....we will see how much more they are similar than different. They honestly trade blows. Here's a good summary having had galaxy nexus and one x. Galaxy nexus isn't that different besides SoC and camera. Screens are near identical except for brightness where gs3 screen is brighter.

Hox

- screen clarity, not as jagged as samoled hd, its noticeable but only side by side basically ppi

- design and build materials. Really is a big difference compared to the plastic Samsung uses. My galaxy s, s2 and galaxy nexus all feel pretty cheap in comparison. Though they're still very nice

- camera hardware is better, software sucks

- better battery life web browsing and standby because of companion core

Gs3

-exynos 4 is faster by a little

- gpu is faster

- software is better and more efficient/optimized

- samoled hd has deep deep blacks and vibrant saturated colors though unrealistic and inaccurate

As for speeds....honestly, both phones are fast enough. There's nothing out using all 4 cores or even need it.

Both great phones...I prefer the one x this time over Samsung. Build and design as well as web browsing battery are biggest factors for me. Gs3 is ugly to me, galaxy nexus was beautiful.
[Galaxy S III General] FISKER_Q:
No :)

GN Owner here, and it's not a matter of jealousy, I just don't believe the proportions fit.

I would expect talk time to have better battery lifetime than that, and especially compared to the Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S III General] NZtechfreak:
Anandtech are using the AT&T One X dude, battery life there not at all comparable to the international One X that GSMArena used.
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
I thought the HOX was a great device when I had it in my hands at the shop.

But the fact that their owners need to go to other forums to flame, hate and ***** about another phone makes me thinking.

I think my SGS2 is a great phone and I don't need to press it like that on others.

What is wrong with the HOX that you can't accept the phone that came later has the higher specs?
