[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cptnappy:
hi guys, just about 2 days ago i rooted my phone. problem is after rooting my phone can't seem to get a 3G signal anymore. only GPRS which is so slow! need help :( tried reflashing with a stock ICS ROM and still no go.

EDIT: here are the things i did before i noticed the disappearance of 3G

1. downloaded recovery and kernel from tegrak's website.

2. booted into download mode and flashed the recovery.tar file

3. booted to recovery mode and flashed the .zip file

4. installed Tegrak Kernel & Superuser from Play Store

*this is when i noticed that i can only get GPRS/1x signal

what i did after was kept flashing a stock ICS ROM. nothing happened to fix the 3G problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cptnappy:
searched the forums and none of the method works. tried reflashing stock ROM still a no go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android The Greek:
Mabey there is an outage, you can always go back to stock with odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cptnappy:
already did sir, still no 3G signal. i'm 200% sure my area has 3G.. it even reaches 3.5G on my other phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cptnappy:
okay.. just noticed minutes ago that my other phones are getting up to 4G signals too. and my Galaxy Note can't even get to 4G? its really stuck at GRPS speeds. the root must've messed up something because this is my 3rd reflash of a stock ICS ROM and still stuck with a G signal when data network is turned on. :(

EDIT: been lurking around xda-developers forums now, even tried other websites... is it possible that a kernel flash could change the radio of the device? reflashing for the 5th time did not do anything for me. after 5 tries (i know, that's too many to figure it out that it doesn't work), i've given up. if anyone has a solution to this problem please message me. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cptnappy:
ok guys after a few days of testing. i finally figured it out.

for some very odd reason, this particular sim of mine says "network type: GPRS"

i tried different sim cards of the same carrier (i repeat, the same carriers) and it says "network type: UMTS"

even tried different sim cards from other networks and it says "network type: HSDPA"

so that is very odd. did flashing ruin something on this simcard? i can't really pin point? :confused:

anyway for me this problem is solved. i'm getting another sim card hehe. hello again 3G/4G!

EDIT: I FOUND A SOLUTION! its not the simcard, its the band setting! i just switched from GSM to WCDMA and it worked for that sim! there is a secret SKT Telecom menu for the Korean android phones that lets you change the band.ü

Hello mates,

I want one favour from you all good people here. I have sold out my HTC wildfire and planning to buy a mini st15i.

So basically I require some information before purchasing, like the length of the phone, battery back up, Armv6 or Armv7, gaming experience, music quality, etc.

However I have kept my eye on Zte Blade also but will probably go for mini st15i.

Also how are the experiences of rooting ,custom roms and modifications.

Please reply and give your valuable suggestions.

Regards

Shiv
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sss2sssss:
Length of mini would be shorter than X8, but the screen is same size with X8 and multi-touch(max 4 touches), and also thicker than X8.

Battery see your usage, as my record on testing my Xperia mini maximum battery life is 2 days++.

This phone got a ARMv7 processor which is Qualcomm MSM8255, and also got Adreno 205 GPU as while..

Although I'm not so free to play game, but it can play heavy game such as SHADOWGUN.

Music quality still OK, and It got a 5MP camera, and also 720p HD video recording and playback.

About rooting if u get a .62 firmware Xperia mini, u must downgrade to .42 firmware via flashtool, getting root and update to .62 firmware via OTA update

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jamielawther:
Personally after owning the LWW for three months I would take the Blade any day. I like the hardware, But the screen is way to small for me. I had a Galaxy Ace before hand and despite how slow it was I would take it back.. Something about Sony's UI I just don't like! I have CM7 currently installed on my LWW, It makes the phone so much better, But the battery life is really poor unfortunately :(.

What spec. does the Blade have in your country? I know in the UK we have the 7227 600mhz/512mb ram which is quite poor now a days..

It's all up to you however :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sss2sssss:
But if is QSD8250, is Adreno 200 onboard...:confused:

if is MSM8255, is Adreno 205 onboard, and Xperia mini got a Adreno 205 GPU wor...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jamielawther:
Is the QSD8250 not the X10i? Because the Desire has one too? :s

I thought all 2011 Xperias' had the MSM8255?

Visit www.phonearena.com . You'll find everything you want there. The only problem is its speakers. Speakers are incapable. And every other thing is just great. Personal idea.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jamielawther:
I think so haha!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rocker86:
Thanks to all of you..Now I am very much confused because of the two phones I have personally visited the local store and have seen the mini. Its very much small in size than wildfire :( and blade is almost the same looking device but having a poor CPU strength.

I dont like to play more games on cell. I love to play videos from youtube and online movies. So 600 Mhz and 200 adreno GPU would be capable to satisfy the needs?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sss2sssss:
But it would only can watch 480p video and no Adobe flash player support

CPU isn't just for playing games, phone breathes by CPU. Anyway, CPU is the most important thing in a phone; the choice is yours my friend.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zRadiz:
So I had a good working simcard with AT&T service. Like a paid service with a number and everything. And now it doesnt work. On my phone when I start it, It says NO SIM CARD FOUND. Even though my sim card is in the phone.

Ive earlier was stuck in the HTC boot screen mode. I tried to factory reset and wiped sd card and messed around in partition sd card.. But nothing worked. So i downloaded the old RUU and it restarted everything. And i got out of that. and thats when it said no sim card or Sd card found...

PLEASE HELP ME!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] iceman99393:
Simcard inserted correctly?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zRadiz:
of course... everything is correctly inputed.. Is it because I wiped the sim card.. And it caused my data plan to no work..

Because on my screen it just says NO SIM CARD FOUND!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gregkeys:
So many of us are furious about how this all went down I started appleban.com as an expiriment to possibly get apples attention.

I've seen petitions, angry letters and angry flames all of which are great for blowing off steam but don't really provide easy to read stats.

if you care to participate and cast your vote on the situation and if there is enough interest i will pursue sending them the stats, you never know perhaps if enough of us show them what we think they'll reconsider their actions next time.

a few things about the site.

#1 only 1 vote can be cast per IP per answer(this is the only way to keep it fair)

#2 i can not change votes only you can, if you voted wrong the yellow +1 enables you to remove your vote

#3 if the answers dont sufficiently express how you feel you can add your own answer (input located at the bottom, please no profanity)

#4 you do not have to register to vote i added a community option incase this needs more interaction.

#5 if this is important to you please tell others.

My intentions are not to hurt apple but instead to show them how bad their decision to sue over something so trivial effects our interests and opinions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
I think this is a good idea, however, I don't see apple giving one crap. Likely, many of these people never did and never would own an apple device, maybe more specifically an iPhone.

And I know word of mouth advertising can be effective, but if I told the mass amount of people I help during the day at best buy that apple does stuff like this, they wouldn't care. It's not affecting them and the product they want. Most people outside of the phone nuts we are here will see it as "so they held up a phone for a week, so what?" Again not to bash, I think its good, I just don't think apple or anyone outside of the phone fanatics will ever care.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gregkeys:
yeah thats why i went this route, its more for those who care even just to know how many this effected. some people like me(an ipad owner) will never buy another apple product as a result but others may not care at all, would be nice if they voted as well.

Hi there, I'm now working over CM 7.2 for Atrix 4G, here's the thing... I'm tryiing to get email sync native, as it is in CM9, but I'm not sure of what shall I modify... there's the option of adding a "work account" and add an e-mail this way but it's kind of frustrating... not very friendly for what I'm trying to do...

So resuming, I would like to integrate the e-mail sync option in CM 7.2 the way it is in CM 9...

Any ideas?

Thanks you all guys

PS: Sorry about my english
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev_cr:
noone? basically what I'm trying to do is:

In CM9, when you want to add a new e-mail account from setting, it just asks you for e-mail adress and pw.

In CM 7.2 it asks (work account):

*e-mail adress

*pw

*domain/user name

*pw

*server

So I want CM 7.2 adding e-mail account settings yo be just as simple as tey are in CM9

is there a way? or just keep adding it from e-mail app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoneyes905:
Don't quote me on this but I believe the newer exchange apps have code that does much of the work for you by querying the Exchange server and figuring out the domain being used as well as the username from your email and password. That is why they probably don't ask you for the extra fields.

If this is true, you might need to look into how the Exchange apps accomplish this and see if you can somehow make modifications yourself.

I am not near my dev machine and so I don't remember if the android source contained the relevant code for Email.apk. You will have to check.

Cheers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev_cr:
I'm actually thinking on that but it's quiet annoying to compare line by line apks...anyway tonight think I'll do that...tweeted turl to see if he can help me with this stuff...but I'm starting to believe it can be so much work for a simple stuff like it actually is...the problem is mail.apk may have some sync issues the way it's now done

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
Ok I am personally going to start a new trend of not talking about ICS, CM9, or heck even Jelly Bean. If I can see that the Devs are starting to get annoyed with the constant onslaught of ICS, CM9, and CM7 questions and soon next month if it is released Jelly Bean. I guess if you can't help Develop, then you really have absolutely no place to complain about how long things are taking this is not a "customer Service" situation. Devs are here because they want to improve their own phones, or this is their hobby. They are not here to develop you a product. That's what Samsung is for in our case. If you are honestly angry about how long it is taking for us to get ICS then write T-mobile and Samsung not the Devs here that are spending their free time in order to eventually bring these awesome ROMS to our phones. Since I joined a year ago I watched Devs and entire teams leave (when is the last time you saw a Team Whiskey ROM?)So I for one am going to Back off on all the ICS business and let the Devs do their thing Without Having to stop constantly and answer the same questions over and over again. We have limited Devs that can at any sell off their SGS4g's and say "screw this" and move on to another phone. Guys seriously instead of constantly asking the Devs lets try something new ( or old to some of us) and ask Google, Yahoo, Ask.com, and or any other search engine you so choose and let the Devs concentrate on Developing.

My question had still not been answered a
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
The answer( as I have come to understand, but I maybe wrong) is well parts can but for the most part the linux kernel is the part of the OS that houses all the device, and processor specific drivers. To make matters worse is some of those drivers are also OS specific. meaning Froyo versions won't work with a Ginger bread distro and so on. To port an Android distro you have one of two choices to make it work. Recompile some or all of the libs to work with the older kernel. Or create a kernel from scratch by finding other devices the have the same hardware that have been upgraded to ICS. Often many devices have pieces of the same hardware as your phone. Sometimes it takes scouring different phones to find phones that share pieces of your hardware.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
@ bot42

You are precisely correct. We at Team Kick Ass have found a way to do just that. Unfortunately, it is a very time consuming process as we have to pull many of the information, files, and things from source. I said this once and I will say it agian. Everything is in the process of being worked on. Please be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
Thanks sorry if I sounded rude but all the comments that were posted were way off topic that's all I'm in no hurry for ics just seen that Samsung released source for it was trying to be helpful
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
it's taking me forever to properly port voodoo sound into CM7. Precisely as thomas and bot said. If it takes so long to properly port a little thing, think about how long it's gonna take to port a whole kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Yep to port a feature from one device to the next is hard a kernel/whole rom requires a lot of time and that is where my free time is being spent between reading and trying a lot of stuff :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
So, there are two efforts going on.

The first is what TeamKickAss is working on. I haven't seen what they are doing or any plans posted.

The second is what I'm working on over in the aosp port thread.

This port is a little more ambitious to port to three different versions.

first port sgs4g specific parts to android-samsung-2.6.35-gingerbread

then port that set of changes to android-samsung-3.0-ics branch (both branches originate from the upstream aosp samsung kernel)

the last port I will do will be to Linus's tree at whatever version it is when I get to this step.

So in the end, we'll have:

a stock kj6 kernel

the various kernels that forked from my bml and mtd kernels

aosp gb port

a couple ics kernel ports (one by teamacid, and one by teamkickass)

3.6 kernel port(or maybe 3.7)?

So, there is a peek in the crystal ball I have.

The future's so bright, gotta wear shades :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi Bryan

Wassup?

I have a friend with SGS i9000, (which didn't get official ICS) nevertheless he installed an ICS 4.04 AOSP ROM on it, working flawlessly.

So my question is, once kernel port will reach its purpose, will we be able to successfully port such ROM ? (PS. I downloaded that ROM and saw some MTD_over_BML stuff inside)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
i bet kickass can port it within a few days of an ICS kernel, but ports aren't always the most reliable/stable/fast. It'd be easier just to build from source. That way, we'd have a stable rom, and easier bug fixing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yea, with so many developers on teamhacksung... they can WORK TOGETHER and port their Aries kernel to any Aries phone. Our phone is kinda funky and we have very few developers.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Ehem.

I'm kinda sorta starting to become useful to the community!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
By the way, I just installed that SGS i9000 ROM over a friend's phone.

It's using a Devil's kernel and Apex launcher. It's way slower than my GB Heb.Val with A.S mix. Maybe it must have tweaks to fly like we're used to.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
hmmmm...I just wondering if we can run ICS on Froyo kernel or not?! Since when I view Motorola Defy section, I saw an ICS rom on Froyo kernel! just questioning :confused:...anw, I know that team acid and kickass are doing very good jobs to make it work so, hope all best to you all devs ^^
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Why wouldn't we use a gb kernel of we had to do that? It'd be a lot more stable if we use a better kernel version. But really, if Bryan can build an AOSP kernel, porting it to kernel version 3.x would be easy enough if I'm not mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Yep ur right especially if we get a 3.x kernel it should take a day maybe two to get ics up n running
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
To appease the masses wanting ICS.

And yes it can be done. Look at some of the Optimus devices, they have multiple variations of ICS and its based off a GB kernel. It is a quick way to get new os's ported in. It helps quell the requests and constant asking when will we get (insert os here).

A lot of devices did this then spent days/weeks/months porting in the new kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
If it were easy, I'd of had it done long ago. It's in progress ;)

Patience :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
It is possible to get ICS booted on a gb kernel... remember I did it. But the problem is finding out where I went wrong with settings, status bar, etc and fixing it... I have a good idea, but having the time with some many things going on for me is the major hold back... Gonna dive into mutt again this weekend and see what I can do...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ChadBFlores:
bhundven ported an asop gb kernel, just out of curiosity, whats wrong with porting a ics kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Not reading is whats wrong with porting an ics kernel.

My aosp gb port is not completed. That is the current kernel in progress. When that is done, I will port that set of changes to ics. (500th time I've explained that one) :p

Let's bug t-mobile and samsung.

Are We still on this? Really guys, I'm surprised this thread is still going, but either way when it's done, its done. That's really the end of the story. No one really needs to explain why its talking so long. there is no deadline as to when ICS has to be finished. Yes you have every right to be angry that this phone doesn't have ICS. You have the right to be angry at Samsung and T-Mobile. If you guys want ICS then write T-Mobile and Samsung. If you bug them enough, then maybe they will give it to us. Franky to just to make us go away!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombie138:
I think what the op was asking if it could be done from a different source code and not demanding ics. Its better to have a pipe dream about something than nothing at all. People are trying to work on it, so frankly let it be and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
To answer the op, and not the subsequent comments...

A lot of the galaxy s phones are very similar, indeed.

This phone is a little different. I could go way into detail, but its simpler to say: Easier said then done.

When I started with this phone and the gb kernel source drop. My first knee jerk reaction was to port it to the teamhacksung samsung aries kernel. It was very difficult and I didn't (and still don't) see the benefits of porting to their kernel or any other phone's kernel source.

I feel like the route I'm taking is the most sustainable in the long-term.

Like I've said before, I'm not opposed to other people doing kernel ports, but I'd rather we work together since we have such a lack of resources for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
sniff sniff(tears running down my cheeks), your words inpsire me Bryan.

No really though, basically, we don't have access to the driver resources that the main galaxy s line does. Our's aren't open source, thus we are trial and error, and they are just porting things like hell.
