I'm using Beta 6. I've had a problem (that has been occurring since Beta 5),

whenever I try to connect to 4g, it takes a while to connect (more than 5 minutes). I've used both the blaze and Blaze 4G LB7 ICS and LDE radios provided in the second post, but I get the same kind of result. Is there a fix for this?

I've run the ROM without any mods and also phoenix6's AOSP theme, but I get the same result.

What am I doing wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] evanladoux:
I couldn't restore either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwleonhart:
I'm not sure if I can help but I was having an issue with it only using wifi until I did use Dark-Cache-Wipe and applied that through CWM and then reapplied the LDE modem.

I also saw a previous post where go to your dialer and hit *#2263# and then select 1 and then option 1 again, then hit your home button and give it a second.

I unplug my USB cord all the time for charging and reconnect it and push zip or apk to the phone to save time.

And one minute on Linux (of my dualboot) adb didnt work for nothing. After thinking of the time it spent to set it up I was a little concerned...

And then I unplugged my USB and plugged it into the Motherboard USB that most PCs have and ADB was and has been Flawless ever since. :rolleyes:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwleonhart:
TWRP is still new where-as CWM has been around since the beginning. You can't call people noobs because of this... I give TeamWin props for trying, but there have been alot of people with issues.

I personally will try and stick with CWM, it's never hard bricked my devices. This one or my vibrant or HD2.

Am I lawyer? Farthest thing from it.. Not to knock any lawyers here, but lawyers are the ones that create problems by suing everyone. Not all lawyer, but you see those commercials.. Lets not get philosophical though.

Yes I fixed ADB a while ago. I re-installed the drivers on my problem, but my phone back to stock and then flashed and it was good to go. Unknown what the problem is but it's now fixed.

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

And I have no problems to report with google maps.

The only issue was GPS. The first time you load up I guess it's looking for satellites. Let it sit for like 2 minutes with the screen on, and now locks within 15-30 seconds if not less everytime. I use GPSTest from the market so I know what's going on with the satellites.

Sorry I can't be of any help for your maps problem though. :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Lets all be good now

WHoa do you need instructions for removing your foot from your mouth? dude, Lawyers don't sue people. people who neede to go to court hire lawyers to do the court work and appearances for them. They are doing their job dude. Anyway you act like Lawstudents best friend on his thread and then Write junk about lawyers... whatever...:rolleyes:

Glad adb works for you now:)

Back to the subject, our OP reverted to CWM (good) and not just a newb bricked with TWRP but Lawstud3nt did as well. If hes a newb then Im a super duper newb. and I am but I also knewb to let other people use it for a while before I jumped on board which was not too bad of an idea and generally is a good philosophy, to play it safe and look before you leap :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwleonhart:
Uhm i'm talking about the lawyer on the commercials that say did you take viagra one day? Can you no longer get hard? Call us and we'll sue the shi* out of the company that made it... People looking for money.. catch my drift?

I'm not saying all lawyers are bad, far from it. 3 people in my family are lawyer, my uncle is a big-wig for a company as well.. He does his job well, finalizing real-estate deals and what not... LawStud3nt is a good guy and trying his best... I'm actually upset his phone broke for him because it was probably while he was trying something new.. but things do happen unfortunatly.

I don't see why anyone calls anyone a noob around here. This should be a friendly community. I love to help anyone I can and I always hope for the same in return. *nuff said.

TDJ,

I installed handcent just to see if I could download images... and of course I can... when I go back to the stock MMS the image then appears there in that conversation..

Just wanted to let you know, has to be something buggy with the MMS.APK but i'm determined to figure it out or maybe you could.. I'm not gonna give up just yet though!

Thanks for your help with this, hopefully it can be fixed.

Hey, is anyone having problems with charging? I plugged my phone in this morning and after a few hours, I picked up the phone and it was really hot, but t hadn't charged at all. The whole phone was hot, not just the battery portion.

I just turned it off in case something was wrong, just to let it cool down. Has anyone experienced this before?

Hey Derek, running Beta6 now for 24 hours and it is an awesome ICS ROM guy, you have some MAD SKILLZ :D the ONLY thing I encountered was the compass issue but other than that everything is working perfectly. Reading through the thread, Iv'e seen reported problems so out of curiousity checked my phone to see if I had the same issues and have yet to find any of them. I still go into the recovery/mounts and storage (just out of habit by now) and format data, system, and cache before running the super wipe then following OP instructions and have yet to experience 99% of the problems that get reported. Not sure if those extra steps help but it's been working 100% for me so far.

Thanks again for all your generosity and support!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rjscott2005:
Just sharing...

Ouch. My very first brick. But hey, I've been doing this stuff since day one of getting a G1 in my hands so I've had a good record. I'm unable to get into Download mode and Win7 Device Mangler shows QHSUSB_DLOAD. I'm hypothesizing that TWRP was the culprit. I've fired an email off to they folks over at mobiletechvideos.com and I'll see what kind of turn-around time they've got these days.

Beta05 ran super smoothly and I'm looking forward to whatever's next after I get my phone working again.

Keep up the great work on this ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
What were the last things you did in recovery? Did they include wiping and hitting reboot recovery, before flashing a new ROM?

Trying to find the commonality here...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rjscott2005:
In fact, that's precisely what I did.

Do you really believe the bricking is due to twrp? I'm loving the new recovery, super clean and queuing zip files is genius, but I'd hate to brick a device over that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sunlaw2:
Great ROM.

Upon initial flash,it was bright/crisp.

But after pushing some apk's from cm9(calendar/desk clock),the colors

started to look washed out.but left alone as intended,it was awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rjscott2005:
Yeah, it sucks but I really won't complain; it's a risk we all take. And like I said, I've been rooting and bending Android phones to my will for a long time and this is the very first piece of hard clay I've created. Not too bad.

I've just paid $50 for the un-bricking service offered by mobiletechvideos.com and hope to pop it into the US mail later this afternoon. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Keep up the great work man!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
It's happen to many and the common factor is twrp. Even on their page they have it stated as a possibility.

For sure, it's been bricking people a lot. It always seems to be only wiping when on an ics base.

No not yet, it's the only hiccup I have with the ROM also otherwise it's great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
This seems to be to common cause... I also wonder why anyone would do that, just wipe, flash, and reboot normal..... but, I guess enough people think it makes sense to reboot the recovery without a system installed to cause these bricks. Now that we know what steps cause it (every report said the same, wiped all then rebooted recovery), we know how to avoid it. Also, this can be reported to TeamWin, hopefully they can find the issue. I just urge people to think before they do things like this, and answer one question.. why?

Why do you want to reboot the recovery before you flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bluecluenj:
Yeah, that's the only thing that forced me back to GB. Not that DDW isn't awesome but this ROM is amazing....hope they can figure out the compass thing too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hightower68:
Yea Just have to post to TDJ-

Been on GB ROMS for a while and was skeptical of ICS and had issues with them and went back to GB. Then thought I would take the plunge one more time. Have to say man, this ROM rocks. Its fast and smooth. Had beta3 with very minor issues and this is even better. Only my GPS is not working but thats probably the radio I just have to mess around with. Kudos for the great work.

Hopefully you can implement BLN support in the kernel what that is feasible. That is one thing I truly miss from my GB kernels is BLN notifications. Why samsung omits this from their phones is beyond me.

I think Telus releases ICS to the S2X in a couple weeks so we might have an official ICS to work off of. :)

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frescoraja:
Why do you think this? A lot of people have been bricking since certain people endorsed its use, it seems a little conspiratorial to jump to that conclusion.

PS, just sent out my PCB design for a jtag to USB adapter for our phone's jtag pin outs. Hope to get the board on Monday. It will be a stamp module, no soldering little wires required. If I get working, will post tutorials. I am only getting one board made but if enough interest arises I can make the board design public or get more made. Wish me luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wrestlerkid:
I got this ROM working and it is awesome!! So smooth and very fast. Only issue, as with a number of others, is the gps. I want to flash a different radio to see if the issue can be fixed. I am using LC8 radio because I tend to get the fastest data speeds with that one. My question is, can I simply flash a new radio now because I know that you're supposed to flash it before flashing the ROM.

Another question also, if I want to clear personal data and keep this ICS rom, i need to select "wipe data/factory reset" , then "wipe cache" in CWM ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rjscott2005:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Yes, just flash a compatible radio and reboot.

Also any time you need to wipe cache, you should flash the cache wipe zip in the OP. It's been stated to NOT wipe cache from within CWM recovery natively.

Force GPU Rendering

I read this in another ICS thread, "For lag issues try: go to settings / develop options / select force GPU rendering. Also turn off animations for windows animations scale and transition scale. Should be extremely smooth after."

I did it and what a difference. Any lag was gone, really sped up everything.

My questions is are there downsides to this? Does it affect battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:

Really nice ROM. :D

A bit much bloat for me, but I guess it was left in purposefully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
Me too. It seems that recovery has gone south for this device across the board (although TWRP could be a combination of design flaw and user error). I never had a problem with it, though, but just to be safe...

I don't understand some of the thinking either. I've read several threads where people were like, "Make sure you wipe 20 times, then do a cartwheel with it in your holster before you flash... then do it again afterward to get rid of the gremlins." (Pardon my attempt at sarcasm.) I would always think, "Does it really take all of that?" A few people did something a certain way and it worked, so it was promoted without really knowing to what extent it worked, or even why. I guess wiping and rebooting recovery may be a carryover from that line of thinking?

Now for thread-relevance...

I decided to take a break from the wonderful world of MIUI v4 (Man, what great choices for our device!) to check this out. I'm not disappointed! I did notice that the visual voicemail in the dialer is now T-Mobile (finally... sorry, been on CM7/9 & MIUI for some time now). I was wondering, how difficult would it be to create a link to google voice instead? It's not really a request (unless it's not very difficult or time consuming), just curious.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wrestlerkid:
So is there any solution at all to the GPS problem? Because it is ruining an amazing ROM. The problem is with trying to use solely the phone's built-in GPS hardware (checking only "use gps satellites") ...I have tried all 4 radios with no luck at all. GPS does not work with any of them, but data works fine. The Blaze 4g radio performed the worst, with speed tests all below 1 mb/s ... the LDE radio got me 10 down, 2.5 up ...better than stock for me for this location. My only problem is the GPS!! What do I do !?!? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwleonhart:
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this this. Download GPS test. Restart your phone, turn off then on the GPS.

Run GPSTest and let it sit for a good 5 minutes. Hopefully you will have a whole bunch of locks. Then try google maps and see if it locks you.

Worked for me.
