[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cenwesi:
Hi, i wanted to find out if this is NORMAL. Is everyone having wifi issue?? where it shows the grey bar but not enough blue bar. I am standing next to my router and i get all full bar but the minute i move about 4ft away from the router, it drops. It like it fluctuates, can't hold a solid connection. This is the only thing i see wrong with the phone. I have tried all radios/ril and i am currently on UGLC1.

The reason i noticed this is because i traveled from USA to Canada and switched off my data connection to use wifi. My In-law just bought a new Cisco router which i helped setup and every computers, tablets including ALL the blackberries all have solid connection except this nexus.

I bought this phone from expansys-usa and i am still within my warranty exchange period. Does anyone have any dealings with them and is the exchange the right thing to do?

PS: how come people are not reporting this or is everyone not using wifi?

Please i need advise on what to do.

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokies:
The reason this problem was not widely reported may because most of us didn't bump into it. Since yoi seemed to have ensured it's not a software problem then it maybe an hardware failure. Revert your phone back to stock and lock the bootloader, goto your reseller immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Could there be interference on your wifi?

Try downloading a wifi diagnostic app off g.play like Wifi Analyzer and see if there's anything overlapping with your wifi channel.

And do they use different channels in Canada compared to the states?

But I suspect jokies is right and you have a hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cenwesi:
OK, back in USA. Connected to home wifi and full bar but if I move to the 2nd room and face away from the wifi, it drops 2 bar and fluctuates between full and half. Btw, does me running cm9 impacts on this connection issue? Also what radio/rail are you guys running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
like you, I'm on uglc1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I thought this is normal?

Wifi in phones are weak anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cenwesi:
Interesting... I just pulled out my retired HTC sensation and tested out the wifi. Sure enough it is doing the same thing as the gnex. So i guess there was really nothing wrong with my gnex after all. Even the HTC Sensation has exactly the same bar as the gnex on the same router. Speed test even revealed i was getting the same speed. I hope to put my worries aside and install custom roms now and set it up the way i wanted. Now i need to figure out which Radio/Ril to use :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addo:
Hey every1, hope every1 is having a great day.

My problem is that im stuck with one room inside my tab (GT-7500) and its a CM9 ICS rom. For some strange reason i cant install it properly even though i have CWR 5.5.0.4 as listed in the installation steps. Then downloaded another rom (Infamous) and apparently i have to install another Honeycomb rom before installing this one.

Now to my question is there any other way to mount the sdcard beside the CWR?

As i can not find mount usb nor sdcard in CWR->Mount and Storge.

Thanks for the help in advance :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
In CWM, if you want to mount the internal /sdcard partition, select the option "mount data" in "Mount and Storage"

If you're talking about an external USB, you'll have to mount it manually via adb (if you're in CWM)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addo:
Well, ive done that. And it get recognized in the computer but does not show up in "My Computer", went to Computer Management to hopefully find it there with out any results. I also tried uninstall the driver and install it again. Thanks again mate :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
Oh no, it won't show in your computer as a usb drive or something similar if you are in cwm. What I understand is that you don't have a functional ROM, I mean, you can't boot into android and you need to put a new ROM in your tablet.

If that's the case, just use adb to push the ROM file. Read the answer #11 in this FAQ if you don't know what adb is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1642009
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addo:
Thanks Mate, all done thanks to you :).

In case anywone is wondering heres how i did it.

First i installed ADB via a guide that i found on google (For some strange reason i cant link to the guide). Then via Terminal or Command Promt i used the command adb push Nameoftherom.zip /sdcard/Nameoftherom.zip.

Thanks again :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudorpetre:
Hello there. I'm new on this forum and I'm sorry if i didn't post in the right subforum.

3 days ago I tried to get the unlock code for my phone because it was blocked on Orange (SIM card). Everything went fine and I managed to reach the point where I found out which is the code to unlock it. After this. I wanted to reboot my phone and when i tried to turn it on again it didn't work. I asked a buddy and he told me it may be a "phone bricked" problem. I searched on internet and tried to do it in any way possible to solve the problem. I tried the One click method, the android upgrade method... anything... I can enter in downloading mode and recovery mode and when I try to flash it it says "pass" on odin and still no response.

I (as an idiot) didn't expect any problem when I followed the tutorial to get the SIM code and the guy who made the tutorial didn't mention anything about a possible brick.

I wanted to ask if you guys can let me know anything about any other possible method before I get it to the service.

Thank you!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckywiseguy:
Indeed, your phone might already brick, to resolve your current problem, just visit this, One-Click unbrick

The above link is actually can be found here in XDA Forums, just do a deep search next time buddy. Read every steps carefully which mentioned there. Hope it helps. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayhamiel:
First of all I'll start by saying I am currently on Infinitum v2.2 ROM (ICS 4.0.4).

I am willing to install a new ROM but I don't really get the installation procedure.

Most of the installation guides tell you to enter recovery, install the ROM zip, GAPPS zip, perform wipes and that's it.

Where have flashing stock ROMs, kernels, root and the rest of the Odin stuff gone?

If I want to move from one ICS ROM to another ICS ROM, is installing from recovery really enough?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatdefault:
Moved from SlimICS to ICS333 using recovery. Wipe, Flash ROM and then Google apps :) Or you can revert to GB and flash ICS ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyloncrack:
ODIN is for dealing with Samsung firmware (ie. stock ROM) only. Changing kernels via ODIN can be done because the firmware is still by Samsung. Same thing with the modem.

Anything to do with custom ROMs can only be installed by a recovery method.

Samsung isn't making an ICS firmware for i9000. Your only method to have ICS is via custom ROM.

Always follow instructions by the dev of the particular custom ROM you choose.

but more importantly what is the fix to my phone issue?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanceOff:
There are two possibilities:

ur phones usb socket has broken

usb cable has been internally damaged

There are two solutions:

if socket in phone is damaged get it repaired

if you changed cable and then also problem socket is danaged

I saw that in my country the stores sells sgp with android 3.0,where can i update to 3.0? And if i update to 3.0 my erygit rom will be deleted?

Thanks ahead!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Which country is this? I've only ever seen the sgp sold with 2.2 or 2.3. Try updating through kies, and yes flashing a new rom will remove your old one
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
The country is israel. And all the players 5.0 4.0 3.6 are being sold now with 3.0 android version
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Do you have any specific reason why you want to upgrade to 3.0? There are plenty of 4.0 (ICS) roms in the development section. If you want tablet ui there is a tablet mode rom too.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
No there isn't a specific reason just to have newer android version :-)

I saw the roms with ocs but the camera isn't working and the flash in the browser and i use these two a lot! :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
Are you sure they're being sold with Android 3.0? Android 3.0 is for tablets, and it specifically wasn't made Open Source by google so that people wouldn't try to bring it to devices under 7" screen size (10" originally).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
+1, the only 3.0 related to these players I can find is BLUETOOTH 3.0. Are you sure the website didn't just use a crappy translator program, or are you sure about the legitimacy of the site/place you saw this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
Yes I'm sure. The store is BUG so as you can understand the store is reliable.

I didn't saw it over the Internet i got their magazine and saw it.

I took a picture of the magazine most of the details are in hebrew but they wrote android 3.0 in english so you can recognize it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
This is correct. No handset device (and the SGP 5.0 and 4.0 are closer to handsets than tablets) was ever offered with Honeycomb.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
No they didn't... Android 3.0 is nowhere in that picture in English.

Bluetooth 3.0 (which has nothing to do with Android 3.0) is.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
They wrote android 3.0 in english in the third line.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
I still think someone screwed up (the guy that wrote that add, most likely), looking at that picture the camera and the UI are identical to the Gingerbread releases, unless you can go to the store and look at a display model and take a pic of the system info showing 3.0 honeycomb, I just can't believe it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
Maybe you right...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Android 3.0 requires a minimum 7" screen size and that was only possible once 3.2 was released, see article below

http://betanews.com/2011/07/27/7-in...honeycomb-thanks-to-new-layout-system-in-3-2/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
+1 for the mistake in the ad...

That UI looks GB all the way.

I have devices with HC and, although not an expert, I can tell that what the picture shows is not a HC UI.

Plus I have hardtime believing that Samsung developed a HC build just for the Israel market.

If camera issues are keeping you from upgrading to ICS, you should stay with the Eryigit rom. I have that rom loaded on my other players and it's a good rom.

BTW, if you upgrade to any version of any rom, you will loose your current rom... to answer one of your questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
Ok thanks man.

I didn't thought it is just for the israeli market i thought almost all the countries has this update.

But it seems to be a mistake :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] MajinZERO:
The screenshot shows a Froyo (Android 2.2) homescreen. When I bought mine it came like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
Could be...What is for sure is that we are not seeing HC... ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Hi,

I see that its possible to jealbreak my HTC Titan : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684912

So I got some questions about jealbreaking Windows Phone :

Will it still be possible to take the system update the regular way (Zune)?

Will a updated from HTC(Zune) break the jealbreak?

Will it be possible to use the phone like a harddrive (moving files)?

What will jealbreak really do for Windows Phone? What is the key functionality that we want to install?

Is it possible to restore the Phone to original?

It seems like the Dynamics7 v1.2 ROM is wokring properly, will it also work on my HTC Titan bought in Sweden (no sim lock)?

Is there somthing I should think about before jealbreking my phone?

Im looking at jealbreak becoure I wanted to customize the look of the current theme and it would also be nice to be able to use folders. Is this maby possible without jealbreak?

BestRegards
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxdy:
HSPL is not jailbreak... HSPL is custom bootloader which allow to load (flash) custom ROM

custom ROM's is full unlocked ROM's (you can stop telling jailbreak, custom ROM is already unlocked and no need for jailbreak...)

1. update via Zune not recommended because you maybe can halfbrick device because SPL (bootloader) update

2. read n.1

3. yes

4. dont understand your question... with full unlocked device you get many options which restricted in original locked WP7

5. yes... simle switch HSPL to SPL and flash original ROM

6. custom ROM work on all devices no matter where purchased... only restrictions is if SPL cant change to HSPL or different vendor ID (this can fix via gold card)

7. all what you need is mentioned in HSPL topic...

8. no
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Thanks!

But Im still not sure what a custom rom really will give me that the stock does not. Could you give me any examples?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxdy:
too much to explain... simple: ALL (unlimited xap loading, patched XBL games, native apps support like Opera, customizing, BT file transfer, ActiveSync support)...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
First of all, this is a Questions thread (you even marked it as such!) and should *not* be in the Dev & Hacking forum. That's what the Q&A forum is for!

Second, the term "jailbreak" is much too vague and should not be used in regard to WP7. There are many different levels of unlock for WP7, and "full-unlock" (what you're askign about) is the highest.

Third, the only real way to describe what you can do with custom ROMs and full-unlock is "if it can be built / coded, it can be made to work". Full filesystem and registry access. Native executables and third-party drivers. Custom firmware updates (some custom ROMs are supposed to also be able to use stock updates such as from Microsoft, but there's always risks of something messing up). Unlimited sideloading.

Fourth, just because something *can* be done doesn't mean it *has* been done yet. That said, this is a developer forum (NOTE: This is *not* a "make my phone cool" forum). Once you install a full-unlock custom ROM, if there's a feature you want but don't have, you can write it yourself...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Thanks! That gave me a betther view on what is possible and what is available.

Here in Sweden the warenty is voided(I think) when installing a custom rom so in order to do that it would have to give me a big win but after checking available customizations I dont think its worth it (in my case).

By the way, you could customize the GUI with Wiztiles.

Sorry, I thought that I was posting it in the F&Q section but somthing went wrong (hope somone moves it).

Yeas jealbreak is not a good term to use in this case. Is there any unlock(that dont cost money) of the phone that will not void the warrenty?

After checking what´s available right now I will probably stay on the stock, besides voiding the warrenty is not worth it yet.

Yes I know that if its not existing then I should dev it my self but I do not have any requests that is strong enouth to invest alot of hours into it. Im already investing all my dev time in other projects.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
You can use the Report button to ask a moderator to move the thread.

I'm not familiar with your warranty laws. In the US, custom ROMs don't void the warranty, generally speaking (the OEM might refuse to service the custom ROM, but if you flash the stock ROM back on before sending it in they either won't know or won't care). That said, there's the student dev-unlock via DreamSpark, but that onlly allows sideloading a few low-privilege apps. It is free (if you're a student), though. Otherwise, there's hacks to achieve various levels of unlock available on some phone models. However, the only one currently available for the Titan is the unlocked bootloader (HSPL) plus a custom ROM.

You think this community is snobbish and child-like? Bring your binkie to the Android boards so you'll feel welcome. I guess you haven't realized that (A) WP7 is still in its infancy as an OS. (B) In these economic times, OEM's must weigh every feasible option before investing in any new product. (C) Their decisions may not be in your best interests. (D) If you're not pleased with this board, there are others out there. Do some research, it's not going to just fall on your lap.

Dropping a phone or its OS because you don't like the tenor of a forum sounds a lot like "I'm taking my bat and ball". That, is the textbook definition of child-like.

Honestly back in the day when I was browsing the Android forums all the time I was annoyed by blind fanboys unable to see flaws or limits in Android. Every time I started a topic to discuss some issue and stuff, trying to make some constructive criticism I was flamed by illiterate kids high fiving each other all day long about how great the green robot is. Sure there are some fanboys here too, but most people sound more like grownups, and constructive criticism about the OS is (nearly) always welcome. I think this place suits me better after all...
