FYI if you are going to take this advice ake sure to turn the WiFi off on the in store device. The working display models are usually using WiFi for data. It is yet another one of those sort of underhanded sales tactics. I mean most people just see the device pulling up websitse and videos on youtube fast and say"look how fast the internet is" with out ever noticing that the WiFi is on. Especially first time smartphone costumers.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
Afaik, sprint use a wimax technology and tmobile use hspa... I read somewhere that hspa is better than wimax... This is the heirarchy looks like from what i read: first is lte, second is hspa, and last is wimax... I might be wrong though... I can try to google it...

Edit: or it might just be the coverage... Ever wonder why sprint dont advertise base on their coverage :)... They simply rely on their unlimited campaign ads...
[HTC Sensation] sand1303:
Those suck. Here are my sprint speeds on my evo 3d. These are a mix of 4g WiMAX and 3g. When lte gets rolled out here it will even out. I'm in Austin,tx and san Antonio is seeing 17-20 MPs download on lte
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
I live in Rockford illinois no wimax or lte just 3g i checked my friend epic 4g my girlfriend epic touch , another friend evo shift and we all get slow speeds. Maybe it's my area but when i had TMobile i made fun of all my friend sprint network speeds so i guess this is karma. The sprint store is in the strip mall behind my house and there's a tower by my house i get full bars but its just slow. Factory resetted my phone . Played with all settings from cdma only to cdma hdr to cdma / lte same speeds i wouldn't complain but i got friends that got prepaid phones from cricket that run faster on 3g im talking about low end Android phones smh . I just wanna watch one minute YouTube videos without having to wait 10 minutes. Download games like angry birds in less than 15 minutes im not always around wifi. Don't leave TMobile if i can work something out with them i will return and get another sensation. I love the evo 4g lte alot but what's the point of having a Corvette with no engine i can go no where.

Hi all,

I really need your help.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100G) unlocked from factory.

It comes with Android 2.3.6

It´s from US, but I use it in Argentina

For some reason I couldn't find any update to ICS for it (neither Kies nor OTA).

So I decided to do it manually by using Odin etc etc.

The process failed with this error: samsung galaxy s2 Complete(Write) operation failed.

So I unplugged the phone, and since then, when I turn it on, it ony displays Warning-Phone icon and cannot be set to download mode again.

What can I do in order to back to its original state? (Android 2.3.6) or and Ice cream sandwich suitable for my GT-I9100G

I think the problem was that the downloaded files (.md5 etc) were wrong or not for my model.

Can I use odin again? Or I shoud first put the phone in download mode?

I've tried with a jig, but it did not do anything.

I really need the telephone :-)

Thanks a lot in advance.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantiel:
I've tried the LCD Resolution app on my ICS 4.0.4 Arc S and the layout of the menus etc were pretty messed up. do any of those apps work well on the Arc S? and if so which one and whats a good dpi setting to use to improve the visual experience?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Sometimes you'll have to experiment with numbers 1-9 on the dpi scale. Example I'm at 240dpi, in order for my stuff to look correct I need to set the rest of my dpi on a 3. So example, my usual dpi will be 163dpi. If I do anything other than 3 besides 240 mg screen and information will be messed up.

Edit : Certain launchers will also make a difference as they may be specified to work at the original dpi or be flexible to a new dpi.

Edit2 : Sometimes certain roms don't like dpi, a few sense and ics roms here on the Droid Incredible have issues with the dpi, if I got below 200, sense and ics roms cause certain things to stretch or stay the same dpi even though its a new dpi. Example, sense lock screen gets smaller and does not fit the screen so its off. I try to avoid using dpi on sense because of this and many other reasons, AOSP is a great place to use dpi.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantiel:
^ Which app did you use to adjust the dpi?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Because using dpi messes the market up I use LCD Density Modded Pro. It allows you to get items from the market your android can't normally find.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lokeycmos:
i just bought the droid razr maxx. there is supposed to be an OTA update to ICS soon. my question is, will i be able to switch back and forth from new rom and current rom? just wondering incase i dont like it. will it prompt me when the update is available, or will it do it automatically? also will it keep my current apps and settings after the update?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Once you upgrade thats IT, your stuck with the new, your apps should be fine if your stock and unrooted. The phone will inform you when an update is available, or you can check for updates to try to grab it sooner depending on the rollout schedule.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brons2:
Could have done a search, there's approximately 1 billion ICS OTA threads already.......
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RedRamage:
This was legit questions... this wasn't another "When is it" threads. Don't be too quick to jump.

BTW, Daniel, you mentioned that if you were stock, unrooted it would be fine. What if I'm rooted (still stock)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
You will want to get the VooDoo OTA Root Keeper for free in the market.

Install, back up root.

When your update hits, go back into the app and select "temp un-root".

After the update, go back to the app and restore root.

Its been hit and miss for some ppl on the last OTA, has worked for me everytime tho.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Also don't freeze or delete any "bloat" as that can mess up your ability to update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RedRamage:
I appreciate the info guys!

Now, if we could just get the update... :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] johnmagoo:
What about safestrap. If we are running sick rooted GB, OTA comes out, unfreeze all the boat, do I need to uninstall safestrap as well?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
Many people have had trouble installing the leaks if they have SafeStrap and friends installed.

That doesn't mean an OTA update will fail though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] akhnatenor:
When I restore the backup I made during the Safestrap install, it wipes out both root and Safestrap. But I made the backup as soon as possible before making modifications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Syntax42:
So, I got tired of not having Sprint service at home or work. I live in a city with over 100,000 people in the metro area, according to Wikipedia, so their bad service has no excuse. I switched to Verizon and got a Droid Razr Maxx.

I feel like I could still get some use out of my Epic, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I read a few things on the internet about turning it into a gaming device or media controller. I'm mostly curious to see what others have thought of or done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
Verizon's horrible limits and pricing don't worry you? I'm done with sprints horrible network. How are you liking Verizon? Which data limit did you succumb to?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
You could donate it to the Devs, or sale it. Or if you want to keep it (in case you come to your senses and dump Verizon :D) you could always just use it as a WiFi device and/or music player.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Syntax42:
I actually have service where I live and work, so it is much better than Sprint in that regard. I signed up for service when they were running a double-data special, so I got 4GB per month for $30. I doubt I will even use 2GB in a month unless I tether. Speed tests resulted in 10Mb download inside my home and a 25Mb download in a major shopping area. It made WiMax seem horrible.

I don't understand the paranoia of data limits. Being mindful of large downloads and streaming videos can easily help you avoid going near your limit. Use WiFi if you need to do a big download. Things like email, surfing the web, and a few youtube videos won't put a significant dent in you data. An article says only 2% of smartphone users go over 2GB a month and only 35% go over 200MB.

I guess I could turn my old Epic into a gaming device if I download emulators. I would like to find a good ROM to put on it first. I doubt anyone has made a ROM specifically for deactivated phones, so I'll just be happy with any high-performance ROM I can find.

[LG Optimus 2x] SimplyEvil:
Hi, i recently switched to Cyanogen, and love the OS so much, but it seems the sensors not working proper..

My son loves playing that temple run game, and before i installed cyanogen it worked great, but now when he plays the person running is on the right side of screen even when on flat table, idk how to sort it, and ive tried reading all over the net, i hope someone can assist.. tyvm..

SO when playing Temple Run with phone upright with the person running is stuck to the right, and same in all sensor apps..

I have the latest stable mod, and the LG Optimus 2x from FIDO..

I have also tried the figure eight, and tried using compass apps to calibrate, but still no go.. Plz help someone..

thx so much.. I appreciate all the effort to assist me..
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Try to flash latest temaseks kang. I had this problem on some roms with lg p500, on orange boston too, hd2 too.
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
and fyi, the sensor works fine on Owain's domination. I ran Temple Run as a test too.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimplyEvil:
Thx so much for the replies...

and yes xtrustkillx, i have issues on those games as well..

I am going to try flashing that different rom, and hopefully that sorts things..

If anyone else has any idea's please do feel free to assist I am very grateful for all the assistance..

and aragorn7, tyvm for your reply.. I was reading around and i see that is another very good looking rom, so hopefully one of those two new roms the replies have shown me will assist me with this problem.. thx again..
[LG Optimus 2x] forforce:
I have this problem with any kind of rom or kernel , I`m on stock based rom now , Django Manouche but any kernel I try or rom, I have the same problem , I see this in gallery as well or any kind of games or apps that use gyro sensor. Is there any way to calibrate it from hidden menu or something else? :|
[LG Optimus 2x] SimplyEvil:
yes i hear that forforce

I have now tried a few alternate cm7 roms, and still same problem, it's a very weird problem as in Temple Run the runner is just off to the right, and yet still runs stait if u leave in on flat surface.. so idk whats goin on.. it's drivin my son nuts though.. lol
[LG Optimus 2x] SimplyEvil:
any help anyone?? i've tried flashing other roms, but still having same problem? thx for your help..
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
I would suggest nvflash v10b rom, root it and flash latest cm7 kang and etana kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimplyEvil:
thx for the reply, i tried it now finally, and yet still same problem, i dont understand what happened, i can't even flash my stock backup as it just givs me a bootloop..

its very weird though, cause its liek the sensor is just off to the right a bit, as when playing temple run or similar, the runner will still run in a strait line, he is just off to the right of the screen instead of in the center, and i cant figure out what to do to sort it..

I hope one of you very smart individuals will figure out a fix.. thx for all the help..
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
My guess is that trere is different filesystem on stock. I have tried installing a bunch of apps and find out that advanced bubble level allows to calibrate but dunt know if on system level too. You must try on your own.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimplyEvil:
thx for reply, and yea i figured out about the file system, gunna try that ext3 to ext4 or visa versa, and try estoring the stok backup.. but if that dont work, im completely lost, idk what could have caused this problem, everything was fine before the first flash of CM7.. so idk..

thx again for all the help..
[HTC Sensation] Prenihility:
Allright. Ever since the last time i've taken out the battery of my Sensation, i've been slightly annoyed.

I've noticed that a small bulge developed in the battery compartment. I've also noticed there are a couple of streaks/scratches.

Why the hell is the battery compartment so susceptible to scratches? Also, should this bulge be of concern? I can even feel it if i run my finger over it.

Is the battery compartment back side actually a black film? You know, where the disposal symbol, and the FCC logo are.

If so, that would explain it, sort of...
[HTC Sensation] vgrntbeauxner:
not sure if serious. i really wouldn't worry about that, fella.
[HTC Sensation] Prenihility:
Oh, i'm serious. It's been bothering me. And i wanna know if the compartment is made of a film of some sort, or if it's plastic.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
I think he meant that the scratches won't be serious.
[HTC Sensation] Prenihility:
Regardless, anyone know what the battery compartment is made of? Not the surrounding area, but the back of where the battery sits. Just as i had described before.
[HTC Sensation] Prenihility:
Does ANYONE know?

And can you get a replacement for that part?
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
It's the same type of metal that is on the exterior of the casing. You can buy a new battery back door housing if you'd like. They go for about $10-20 on ebay or amazon.
[HTC Sensation] Prenihility:
MMmmmm... No.

That's not what i'm talking about.

The place where the battery is fitted.

Right there. The spot with the largers amount of surface area in the battery compartment.

There's a disposal symbol on it.

I've got a little bulge there, and some scratches.

It feels soft.

What is it?
[HTC Sensation] Dom42:
It's made of aluminium, the little silver grounding pin is part of it, it has a square shape, and that aluminium part is connected to the lcd back by other sort of 4 pins. I opened mine to try to clean the dust under my screen, then i realized i needed a heat gun and glue, so i left it like that. The pins that make contact with the lcd may be another possible cause of the touch problem...

Do you want a pic?
[HTC Sensation] Prenihility:
No no. Ok. You take the back cover of the phone OFF. And you take the battery OUT. The area behind/around the battery. It's black. It feels softer than any other part of the phone. THAT is what i'm talking about.

I ran my nail along it, and it left a mark... :o. And i kinda feel bad about it. Although it's inside... and the rest of the phone is in perfect condition.

That's the area on the phone i'm talking about.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
I'd like a pic please.

This we overlooked while troubleshooting touchscreen problem.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Prenihility:
Ahem... eerrrmmm. Is anyone NOT clear of which part of the phone i'm talking about?
[HTC Sensation] kevinliu2336:
Are you talking about the black sticker in the batter compartment? I believe its just a plastic sticker. The bulge is probably either air that got trapped or a bump in the aluminum casing beneath. Either way the bulge and the scratches are purely cosmetic. There is no "replacement" for each sticker has several unique numbers on it. Also why would you even care?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~arron~:
Hi all,

Im not a noob around here I have been lurking for a few years since I had my HTC hero and have been flashing my S2 for about 5 months now, very impressed with the amount of development here :)...

I understand most things about flashing etc but am still unclear and have found it hard to find answers for the following:

I have Resurrection Remix 2.2 + siyah 3.3.2 + dualbooted with omega v15 4.0.3

1. Am I better off changing CPU frequencies/governers/voltages with the built in "performance" on Ressurection Remix or using the Siyah eXTweaks app

2. If I apply some settings in the extweaks app, such as an undervolt/BLN... will these settings apply to my second rom? + also, If I change settings on main rom, then load second rom, then go back to main rom will the settings still be changed on the main rom or do they get wiped.

3. I have one of those stupid small mini bluetooth keyboards which are about the same size as the phone and are under £10 on ebay... I also have a bluetooth mouse.. The bluetooth mouse works fine and stays connected for as long as I want, however does anybody know why the connection to the keyboard constantly times out after a few minutes? Very frustrating as I bought it to use with MHL adapter and have trouble reconnecting after its lost connection... I bought it because it was cheap and I dont have a lot of money to spend on that kind of thing, but if anybody has any other cheap alternatives can you post link.

4. A lot of the time recently, my phone crashes when watching a vide with MX player or playing a game... it just hangs.. dont know why, ive had RR running stable for over a week now with no tweaks applied and its still happening...

5. i have 4 copies of every folder showing up on memory card :confused: not enough space to copy data to laptop and format... any advice?

6. Advice needed on whats the best undervolt settings for me,I see multiple threads for Siyah _ extweaks but every time I mess about with that I end up breaking my rom and changing it... but when it has worked the battery life is great!

Apreciate anyone who helps or has any advice to offer, I will give thanks to you all.

:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
1 make sure that they both are on the same settings.

2 I'm pretty sure it will only affect the rom you're on. Not both. Might want to check the dual boot thread though

3 try to forget the device and reconnect it/reboot then try to reconnect it

4 did you do a full wipe when you installed it?

5 I'm pretty sure there is a fix in rr FAQ on the op

6 not every device can handle being oc / uv.. If you break the rom on the setting increase it by 25/50 until you get it stable

Hope I could help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~arron~:
Thanks for your help! will try these now

4. Yes i follow the Extended steps to install rom on RR thread FAQ

5. I've tried that, it works temporarily but keeps coming back and messing up... (that was the original problem, it was just music and images. now its all files and folders)

6. I see... thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~arron~:
Was kinda hoping for a little more advice maybe
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
well the only little more advice given may be never under volt or over clock ur beast (GS2) since it never likes the same, they r only done on some specfic issues so keep the default settings

also the duplicate file issues its no more with 2.2 if u fallowed the extended installation steps in the FAQ properly:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~arron~:
thanks mate

Do you mean it never works the same? I see, it's never been stable for me... however the extra battery life vs. risk of having to reinstall rom is a hard choice.. maybe if keep even more regular backups it may help if things go wrong..

And I have reinstalled 2.2 properly following the extended which I always do. Still have 4 copies of every file folder, and it's showing up the same in windows as well now. But i dont think it's taking up 4x the space...

Is there an easy way to fix this or am I going to have to reformat memorycard? is that best done on the phone or on windows?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
ver2.3 is going to be released today install the same with a full wipe and ur issues of duplicate file gets resolved:)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankieZee07:
I'm having an issue with viewing a particular website. I'm taking online classes through DeVry and once I log into a class, I cannot scroll completely to the bottom of the page. I've tried Boat Browser, Dolphin HD, and the stock browser. I've also changed settings to not fit the pages to the screen and to display the desktop version. There is no mobile version of my class screens anyway, so nothing has changed.

The class page is set up into two sections. The left 1/8th of the page contains a sort of tree menu showing the weeks and areas of the class. The rest of the page is the class material itself. Either the discussion boards, lecture, quizzes, etc.

On the desktop, when I scroll, the menu area stays stationary, while the rest of the page moves. On this device, the entire screen will attempt to scroll until I reach the end of the menu section, then I cannot go any further.

That being said, when I go to my class on my girlfriends iPad 2, or my Bionic using Boat Browser, it works as it does on the desktop.

Is there a setting I'm missing on the pad itself, or is there something in the browsers I haven't tried?

Any advice would be appreciated since one of the main reasons I wanted a tablet was so I wouldn't have to lug my 17 inch laptop with me if I wanted to do some homework.
