[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
interesting results and thanks for finding the time to help others find a solution. I'm also curious as to what are those 2 strips with those button looking things. New .28 beta build I've been testing, with new wifi firmware/improvements, has improved my wifi alot. I get stronger signals now, range increased, & the stability of signal is good(the prime holding the stronger signal). lets hope others will see same good results I've been seeing. once firmware releases, test it out by itself. then test it with your mod. make sure to post results in this thread.

do you plan to make a video showing you make this mod & of it in action?

I was wondering the same thing, looks like the things that click together and hold on the back of a hat?? Looks like it helped a little bit from the pics
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdudb:
This has actually been gone over quite thoroughly before.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1509794 I have had aluminium foil, cut carefully to a size and placed to give the best signal boost, stuck to the inside of a leather case that covers the bezel for a couple of months now. The signal boost I get is about 10db and makes a very significant increase in speeds when far away from the router.

Trial and error will give you the best size as it has to act as a parasitic antenna. Mine is about 1.5 X 4 cm. It works by being outside of the electrically noisy and shielded interior of the TP and therefor picking up a stronger signal, and then relaying it to the interior antenna.

Can't wait to do some experimenting with this information. Thanks OP and jdudb.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Hmm, tried it with some copper tabe (should work right?) but no effect here...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SUPERGAMERVN:
thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderos101:
Thats actually genius if signal performance boost is worthwile.

I'd be willing to pay for a cheap cover that enchances the primes signals, hell, i reckon asus should provide these gratis, nothing flashy, just built to purpose.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
This should really be merged with this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1509794 as it basically works on the same theory.

But I do thank the OP as this has renewed my interest. When the original thread was started I also messed around with various pieces of foil and had mixed results. This morning I tried again using aluminum tape used for hvac duct work and started sticking pieces on various spots. With some trial and error I came up with a design that gives me 10+ db pretty much consistently.

Sorry about the darkness from .20 to .59. as I dont have a tripod for my camera.

The video was taken in my detached garage which is the furthest location at home where I would use my Prime.

All hidden in my tfp case

I found that wrapping the aluminum around the back gave me a slightly better result.

I will ask a mod to merge this thread with the original.

My grandmother could have fixed the primes wifi?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
Edited my post above to add video.

Just wondering if someone with one of the so called "fine WiFi " TFP could try this to see if this would have the same effect. Demandarin?..with your originally great preforming wifi + the latest update that improves the wifi + this tape you may be able to have that needle pegged from miles away ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbi1:
Anyone knows of a thin protective case or holster that can be used with the OEM Samsung car cradle for the AT&T S2? I hate removing the cover every time I get into the car and put it back in when I get to my destination.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MashBill:
No such animal as far as I know. The Samsung car cradle was designed to work with a naked S2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jdbeitz:
Yeah I have to agree. Nothing you'll find all fit in dock. Gotta raw dog it :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
Raw doggin it aint bad our phones are more resistant than it looks... my thinking is why buy a phone that has a thin form factor as one of its selling points only to bulk it up with a case :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jdbeitz:
Very true. I use a thin tpu case but I pop it off overnight to throw my phone on the dock. I wish I could just always keep that case on :(

But you're right man, this phone is beautiful and durable!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbi1:
It certainly is beautiful and I bet it is also durable, but I have scratches OCD...cannot have scratches and dings on my electronics :(, so a very thin protective doesn't bother me.

Also, as durable as it is, the think plastic battery cover squeaks sometimes if I don't have the cover on and it drives me nuts (yes, I know. OCD).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RubenLockheart:
I have looked around and have found no solution for this.

Hi everyone, I have recently bought an xperia mini pro and I love this phone, I really fell in love with it.

But, I cant seem to get stable wifi connections, the connections keep disappearing or in one second the conection is strong and then becomes to weak.

Also, I cant connect to my home internet!

My SSID doesn't even appear on the list of available networks!

This seems to be a recurrent problem because I switched the phone for a new one and the problem prevails.

I know its not the router cause I could connect with my old phone with no problems at all. I tried wifi keep alive and other stability apps but with no success...

The phone is updated to Android 2.3.4.

Can anyone help please??

If anyone has the solution it must be you guys!

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Raulo.:
about the ssid, i had that problem on my home. i change and add the mac adress of my sk17a to the router and that fix the problem. try that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bulletblitz27:
Will any of the GS2 developers port their ROMs over to this new phone? It doesn't look too different. My brother recently got the phone and I checked the development, which was pretty slow. Shame too, given it's a powerhouse.

I apologize in advance if this topic has been brought up before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
Shouldn't be too bad I think because the hardware is mostly the same from what I understand. I would attempt something but I'd probably Bork it all up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bulletblitz27:
That's what I thought. Both have same Processor and screen resolution. A lot of ROMs here are porting the Blaze Radios too, so I don't think I'd be a huge challenge. Then again, I know nothing about development. Hopefully someone will jump on the bandwagon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aranurea:
The Blaze will get the Ice Cream Sandwich update too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:

[HTC Rezound] Jonger1150:
My major focus is to get rid of bloatware; I really don't want to wipe my phone for a ROM. Is it possible to root, freeze bloatware and then unroot so that I can have the ability to download the OTA ICS if its ever released?

Does anyone know if the leak firmware fixes the hotspot bug?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Yeah, to unroot after you do your changes, just remove the superuser.apk app and the su binary from the /system/xbin directory.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
If you are running ICS you can disable bloat from the app manager. No Root necessary. The only reason I am rooted is so I can use the WiFi Tether app. I'm running Scott's rooted version of the latest leak.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
I don't think it is advantageous whatsoever to unroot after you removed bloat. Why why do you want to do that? Just so you don't have to wipe?
[HTC Rezound] johnan2112:
Do note that you'll have to wipe during the root process since you'll need to unlock the bootloader before you can root.
[HTC Rezound] damonkb30680:
i guess im dumb

i need help i have a completely stock phone and trying to get the latest leak ive downloaded it but i dont see the root of the sd card and thats just the first issue:(
[HTC Rezound] CanesDrew:
Use a file explorer like ESFile Explorer to get to the root of your sd card.

But you can't flash the leak without an unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Actually, you need to u lock the bootloader, flash Amon RA (link in my sig) and RELOCK then place the PH98IMG.zip on the root of your SD card and flash in HBoot. If you have an unlocked bootloader, it will not work, but you have to have a custom recovery or it will not work either
[HTC Rezound] damonkb30680:
but how do i go about doing that?
[HTC Rezound] GetRipped:
Root of the sd card just means that the file isn't in any folders
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Do you have adb and fastboot set up on your computer?

The root of the sd card means not in any folders on the card
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shantusingh:
** Need an accurate answer on this please **

is 1254-8596 a cda number that corresponds to 1253-9721 si number ??

an indian friend having an arc s i guess could help me better so please let me know or anyone else too please .

i am using arc s and under my phone's battery i see si number as 1253-9721 but as i press *#*#7378423#*#* on my phone and look in info it says customization version 1254-8596(I am on 4.0.2.A.0.62 for some reason). So what i am asking is it correct ?!

1253-9721 is indian generic so though its showing 1254-8596 in my phones in settings by pressing *#*#7378423#*#*, still is it then indian generic that i would have got out of box and all's fine?!

Would highly apprecitate if anyone reply soon and clear my doubt please!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddfilho:
Friends

Good afternoon

I need some information.

I'm thinking of buying the Mini Defy XT321, it has the android system and also allows to install two chips. I need to know if I can set the system every time it uses the data network (3G) over to a particular chip and when to make calls using normal use another chip. I wonder if this administration can be done automatically by the system or smartphne (hardware). Someone tell me?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidGBF:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidGBF:

[Motorola Triumph] markmatters:
I've been searching for days with no avail...i'm going to try to be as detailed as possible and see if you guys can help me out here...

My sister's triumph reboots every time it's turned on...I charged the battery with another phone so i know it's charged...I've tried to different batteries that work on another triumph...so this is what i experience: Turn phone on...it boots, and starts...and if it's connected, you can see the little bolt showing it's charging...if it's not connected...it's shows the battery empty (although another phone shows it's fully charged)...but seconds later it shuts down...It doesn't give me a chance to do anything...almost as if it's not recognizing the battery...any idea? thanks!
[Motorola Triumph] llorn:
Are you able to boot into Recovery? whether the stock recovery or clockworkmod recovery? And if you can, does it stay on or does it keep on rebooting also?

If it can, then it sounds like the rom might be corrupt or messed up. The easy fix then would be to reflash either the stock rom or a custom one.

If it can't, then it sounds like you might have a hardware failure.
[Milestone 2 General] sanxbr:
Hello everyone!

Yesterday I made some tests with some roms, CM 7 and MIUI 2.5.25 and went to stock (2.3.6 GB) sometimes.

After going to MIUI again, after CM7, I started to have some issues with some apps from the market.

The ones I saw 'till now is: Eternity Warriors and Contract Killer

Is there a way to solve this? It says that my mobile isn't compatible... but it works flawless on CM7.

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] pepe55:
You can solve it by find the apk of the game somewhere and install it by yourself, it works. I hope it will be fixed in the rom itself soon.
[Milestone 2 General] sanxbr:
Hello!

I tryed using ALL .apk versions of Eternity Warriors lol

None of them worked, dunno why. The incompatibility came from no where.

One it was working flawless and the other day not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mflanag1:
I got my EVO LTE Saturday and it has been working fine - minus the wonky wifi signal issues. Until last night when I started receiving voicemails, but no missed calls or calls at all. Texting works fine and so do outgoing calls. Anyone else had similar issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
How are your 3G speeds? I think you might be having some of the same issues as here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27028302&posted=1#post27028302

My phone occasionally goes into roaming, it sometimes does it even when I'm at home where I have an Airave. Seems like more and more people are starting to notice some connection issues with this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mflanag1:
My speeds are pretty poor. I get somewhere between 150 and 250 kb/s.

I really don't want to deal with more of this mess, but it looks like I'm going to have to contact best buy if nothing changes in the next few days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
You're better off than me, I just ran speed test a few times an hour or so ago and my speeds were from 51 to 120kbps. There seem to be quite a few people with data issues, I'm calling Sprint about it again tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mflanag1:
The biggest issue is definitely the inability to receive calls and I'm not seeing too many other people complaining about that. I've only seen one other person and I think his solution was to just get a new phone.

Thanks, though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
I've missed calls. That other thread I linked there's at least one person that mentioned not getting calls and I just read the thread "Lasted one day" and there were a few in there that mentioned not receiving calls at times. It's all the same issue, it seems the 3G radio and/or antennas on this phone has issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] engelsione:
Same thing is been happening lately! Well at least today. Missed about 3 calls with the phone right next to me and text message appears with a new VM. The phone did not ring at all. Then I have been noticing " Roaming Notices" as well.

My speeds sometimes are 68mps. but sometimes as little a 0.10 mps

I am in northern Cincinnati.

This is probably the best speed so far
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zpoettker:
Also having issues and have been reading about it since I got the phone.. Nothing has fixed it.

I don't realize I have the issue until I try to send a text message and get an error, then I restart the radios and will receive a couple texts and the message will send.

Hopefully there's a solution soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gavia11111:
I've had mine for two days now and not been able to receive any calls. Spent time with CSR and they felt it was a faulty phone. Same deal with my wife...we both picked up EVO lte's on they same day. We were thinking how unlikely we had two faulty phones. Either way we swapped both out for two new phones today....still same problem. Neither of us can receive calls. That means we've been through 4 phones now with no luck. I can text and call out albeit with less signal then my og EVO without too much trouble. I do notice less signal than my og EVO but at least outgoing works.

A few hours ago I stumbled on to the fact that if I am on the phone (call out first) that I can receive a call waiting call. This seems to work consistently. Not sure why. I'm hoping to find out soon if it faulty design (poor antenna, bad radio, etc) soon. If it turns out to be the case, I want to be sure to be able to return in my 14 day window. I'm starting to lose faith in this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zpoettker:
For some reason I doubt it's the radios. The firmware seems to be a bit screwy. It's not locking onto towers correctly.

Gavia, have you tried updating PRLs and then receiving a call?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gavia11111:
Yes I've update all of the phones prl. Still no luck. I do agree there is an issue locking on to towers...I see my signal bounce from 3 bars to roaming to 2 bars to no signal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
I tried to exchange mine at Sprint today, the rep declined doing it without the techs looking at it, the problem is it's only a sporadic issue. I told him that I was within 14 days and I can get a replacement, he said that I can CHANGE my phone for a different one but not swap it without a rep deeming it defective. I could have left the phone with the rep for 2 hours but the thing is the issue only happens at random times and not all calls fail (for me) it's really frustrating me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thesabri:
I actually came in to ask about missed calls I looked down and saw I had a missed call phone was sitting still I was right beside it. It never rang. Hope thus is an easy fix
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cr45h:
I had this problem right after purchasing the phone. I was placing calls just fine so I didn't realize I couldn't receive calls until about a day and a half later. Over the course of that day and a half, I had about four voicemails but I thought I had just received them when the phone was sitting on the table or was turned off for a meeting. Anyway, long story short, I tried all of the user-side updates and nothing worked. I then called Sprint and they fixed the problem. I've been receiving calls just fine ever since.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] copperhead035:
I'm also having incoming call issues, both on my LTE and my girlfriend's. The first time I try to call it doesn't ring through but on the second or third attempt it succeeds. I've gotten calls from others the first try, but then when I stopped by the doctor's office this morning they said they had been trying to call all week and just kept getting a busy signal.

I stopped by the local Sprint store today and the rep tried to blame it on the tower by my house even though I've had zero issues in the 5 years I've lived here before now.

@patrascu - did the Sprint rep tell you what they did on their end to fix it? And has it stayed fixed?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlin:
I've missed a handful of calls which is more than usual.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
If you're not getting resolution in the store, call up customer service. Move up the chain. Still no results, select cancel account and when someone picks up, ask for "account services". If you are within your 14 days, and want to exchange, they shouldn't be hassling you like this. In the future, all the more reason to buy from third parties like amazon or BB.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mflanag1:
Do you have any idea what they did with your phone? I've spent two hours talking with different people at sprint and none of them have been able to help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] andrusk:
My Evo 3D did this, and this phone does this as well. I've always attributed the "my damn phone wont' even ring" to the fact that the sprint reception near my house and where I work is utter crap. Where the signal is decent I don't have this problem. Maybe I should get an airave at my house :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] copperhead035:
Just got off the phone with sprint. The first rep tried some things with my second line. Said she would call back and didn't. I called back after waiting about a half hour and the rep worked on my primary line. Not sure if my primary line is fixed but now when I try to call my second line it tells me I need to dial an area code. Third try and the call went through.

Before I got off the line I was transferred to the floor manager who tried to tell me to go to a store (which I already did and couldn't repeat the problem in 5 minutes and sent me off) to have them repair the phone for $35 or replace it under TEP. She had no clue I was asking about a brand new device under warranty that is 4 days old.

I can't say that I'm happy. Unless I get a call back and make some actual progress I'll probably be exchanging these this weekend.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
You should. I've had mine for a couple years and it's great. Only problems I've really had is sometimes it's tough for the GPS in it to get a lock (even when using the included antennae and having it in a window) and sometimes it gets a little confused and ends up text bombing whoever your message is intended for if you send and receive texts at the same time or send too many texts at once. A couple minor annoying issues but the good out-weighs the bad and it's free. Call (877)775-4886 (Sprint Retentions) and tell them you get no service at home.

I just had my phone replaced at Best Buy, data speeds haven't changed. I haven't gotten the roaming message like I was but we'll see if that comes back as well. Hopefully there ends up being a fix for this.

When my Galaxy SII go flying.

Put your S2 in flight mode, fix it to something that flies, and post the videos - at least, that's what I intend to do!

A few years ago, I started flying RC planes and I ended up strapping my Nokia N93 (and then n93i) to the planes and filming (with mixed results). Last year I duct taped the GS2 to the underbelly of a small plane and was surprised when it worked well... what next?

This year, I built my first multirotor "heli" (QuadX) - How could I not strap my Galaxy S2 to it?! It's a much better aerial video platform.

In my latest adventure, my quad gets circled by a formation of birds - I managed to capture some of it on the video ..

[YOUTUBE]gkJCTxGOcBw[/YOUTUBE]

(best in 720p)

From now on, I will just use this same thread to post newer videos as I know some of you like seeing them. Sometimes I track the flights with MyTracks, I might post the files here if anyone is interested.

Happy flying and please remember to put your phone into flight mode before launch! Having said that, I wonder if I could track the phone using samsungdive if it's in flight mode because it would be a great lost aircraft thing!

________________________________

If anyone else is thinking of trying this:

- if your surface is smooth, dry and vibration free, duct tape works wonders

- if vibration is present and the surface is uneven, odd, whatever, try foam and cable ties (zip ties)

I'd be great to see other Galaxy SII airborne adventures!
