[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rafael Cadina:
Sup guys, i'm facing issues using HSDPA on Gnex. I can't make a call go through if i'm using HSDPA and also I can't receive incoming calls when my phone is downloading something from Play Store (like app updates and so on). Do you know how i can get this fixed? Is it possible to do it? Maybe I could change radio and try to see what happens.

Thanks in advance...

I appreciate your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Yeah dude sounds flippin weird... which radio are u currently using?

- Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZachPatterson:
It might be a limitation of your cellular provider?

Although it seems to be an odd issue...

Can you tell us what it says by following these steps:

Menu -> Settings -> About Phone ->

Baseband version

Then click on Status ->

Network

Signal strength

Mobile Network Type

Service state

Probably going to recommend that you flash a new radio firmware, but we'll see...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rafael Cadina:
I'm using I9250XXLA2 radio in Brazil via Tim Mobile.

Network - 11

Signal Strength - -97dBm 7 asu

Mobile Network Type - HSDPA:9

Service State - In service

After trying to call a few times HSDPA turns off and the call go through... I don't know if there's something related to Tim or Brazilian Networks... Btw, thank you guys for your help!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Step666:
Previous threads about the update were solely about how it's not ICS, which is why they were locked.

If this thread is simply going to be about the update itself then it's fine but if it descends into ICS-related discussion, it'll end up locked as well.

Readers digest version:

I started with rooted stock.

I pushed the MD5 tar file posted in the ICS thread via Odin successfully.

I lost root.

I re-rooted successfully via the Odin method (push CWM to phone via Odin, then flash superuser)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markusf21:
I saw a link in the ics thread to an Odin file for the update. Has anyone tried it yet. I just want to make sure I'm not gonna brick if I use it. I'm not worried about losing root. That's easy enough to get back. Thanks

Never mind dude above me posted answer as I posted my question.

Bit of info on it from me, running it non-rooted:

- Scrolling Wallpaper Disabled in TouchWiz - install this app to fix it. Root not required

- Carrier IQ still detected (Lookout)

- Battery life seems the same

- Better phone answer screen which is more responsive

- Slightly different lock screen when not using a pattern, pin, or password

- Faster widget responses (no more waiting 10-12 seconds after touching "brightness" in stock power widget)

- Apps seem to open faster, possible updated java platform for speed improvements, or perhaps due to Qualcomm driver update

- Noticeable improvement in multitasking while on a call

- Faster homescreen changing thanks to Qualcomm driver update

- No call echo

- No general 'stutter' in performance that affected previous revisions thanks to Qualcomm driver update

- Touchscreen more accurate - This is hard to prove but overall I find I'm doing things more accurately since this update

- Power off time still the same

- Power on time slightly improved (by about 2 seconds)

- Quadrant benchmark results: 3359 (about the same as before) and of course, proof of said score: http://i.imgur.com/WCek0.png (Note: Benchmarks do not necessarily reflect on day-to-day general use)

Qualcomm update/patch seems to be a prerequisite for incoming ICS update

Updated to include hotfix for scrolling wallpaper (thank you BRKotucs), also bolded both bad things about the update to make them more visable. Pros still outweigh cons

I think they did a lot of updates that are included with ICS in this latest build. Just as smooth as the ICS leaks. KL1 was always so choppy and laggy, can't believe this is coming out of my mouth (fingers?) but I'm staying stock until official ICS. I've had over 10 Android phones, and I've never seen a stock ROM run so smooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Most importantly, they updated the buggy Qualcomm chipset drivers our phones came with. This update increased performance by about 30% from what I have noticed. You should notice a lot less if any UI stutter and faster app launching/loading times.

The Qualcomm drivers the T989 was originally released with were buggy from the start, making them much slower than the Snapdragon chipsets on the other SGII devices even though ours is clocked a big higher. Now it's about even performance, if not a bit faster than the other SGIIs according to my benchmark (see page 2 of this thread for my post including screenshot of bench).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
I agree with you. I did root, just so I could remove a bunch of annoying apps in stock (mymall and all that crap) but otherwise gonna stay stock. I dunno. Im starting to move to the camp of "stock is the best and most stable". I guess Im getting past the point where I want to tweak and **** with things all the time. I just wanna load everything up and forget about it.

Have any of you guys did the maintenance update that was just dropped this morning? This app Wizardrii doesn't cause the wall paper to scroll like i'm used to. Unless im picking the wrong settings, it just not working.

Anyways, i really don't want to install an app that the system always done naturally.

Like i asked, did any of you guys (through Kies) updated your T989 phone? And how can i get scrolling wallpaper back? this suggested app Wizardrii doesn't work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
All you need to do is download Kies if you don't already have it, then plug up your phone, let kies recognize your phone and it should prompt you to update your phone. That's all I had to do to get the update this morning and it took about 15 minutes.

I don't know If you have to have the drivers for your phone installed in your computer for kies to work. Don't quote me on that one because I'm not sure about it.

Wizardrii doesn't work. After this maintenance update, the wonderful folks at sammys stopped the scrolling wallpaper. Anyone here who tells you that they got it to work does not have this update on their phone. yeah yeah the WizardRii app works to put up wallpaper, but it doesn't scroll.

I had it confirmed by a slew of other people.

If you installed WizardRii and installed scrollable wallpaper, and it scrolls on your phone when you switch screens running Touchwiz you don't have the update.

Simple as that..

Sorry to burst you bubble.

something interesting just happened to me.

I went ahead and unrooted and went back to stock so that I could get the update, but in doing so, my radio stopped working and i got the ER05 error for invalid SIM card. I re-rooted, restored my most recent backup, and everything works again.

What would have caused the error with the invalid SIM? If the SIM was the problem, or the Radio, why wouldnt it still be a problem once I re-rooted and went back to my custom ROM? TMO tech support said its the sim that's bad, but I know this isn't the case.

Any ideas?

So I have been away for a while because I got a tablet and downgraded my phone to a basic samsung flip and shut off my android data plan and got a mifi Internet device which is working out great but anyway I still kept both my t989 and g2x because I love them. So it looks like the qualcomm patch was the big thing in this update. So I should probably install the update to get the patch right? I see there are a few ICS roms since I was last here so I want to try a few of them but first I am going to do the update. Hey does anyone know if I can update OTA via wifi like I can with my tablet? Because I don’t have the android data now so I cant even put my sim in.

If you guys are having issues with the Kies update try this:

- Unplug device

- On device Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB debugging. Reboot device.

- Reboot PC

- Start Kies, if Vista or 7 ensure you run it as Administrator via rightclicking the icon > run as administrator

- In Kies Help > Check for update, ensure latest installed.

- Plug device up and retry the update.

If it detects your device and the update still times out, close Kies and unplug your device, start Kies and plug the device into a different USB port.

If Kies does not find your device, unplug your device and run the device not found wizard in Kies. Wait for it to finish and plug your device in and be patient. It takes several minutes.

If Kies refuses to update uninstall Kies, reboot PC, redownload and reinstall Kies. Vista/7 users ensure you open it by rightclicking and run as administrator. Help > Check for updates. Let it update. It will open again after the update. Close it and run as administrator. Plug device and attempt device update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Atmazzz:
Me too man. I guess I'm getting old. :D

It took me about 45 minutes yesterday to update. I saw someone else yesterday that was trying to update with Kies. When it started updating his phone, the message on the phone saying "Downloading... do not turn off target!!", he said it got stuck there for a long time. What's the best thing to do in that situation? Just turn off the phone? Pull the battery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Be patient. After an hour or two if its still stuck reboot phone and retry, but only after its been frozen on the same percentage for a very long time. Now if it says its installing then dont do anything, just wait.

well this sucks....my phone has gotten WORSE after this update.

My caller ID didnt work at all yesterday. Before when I made calls, you'd hear a little chime and then the phone would start ringing. Now I press call, the phone pauses, you hear two low clicks and sometimes it doesnt ring at all, it just pauses and the other person picks up.

It also has a lot more bugs in general....freezing, dropping calls. Sometimes as soon as I hit CALL, it just hangs up on me, and I have to try to call like 4 times before it goes through!

I've had it with this POS phone....when it works, it works great, but at least 50% of the time theres something wrong.

Actually, I dont know whether to blame the phone or stupid TMobile!

BTW, its a completely STOCK, unrooted phone.
