[HTC Sensation] IllusiveDreams:
So I am a current HTC Sensation 4G user. I previously had the Samsung Vibrant and before that I had an HTC HD2. Ive been using smart phone for a long time and have rooted just about everyone of them that I could.

Last week my sensation started having issues. The whole left 1/4" or so of the phone was unresponsive which means I couldnt use the QWEASD, up and ZX keys on the keypad or any apps that happened to be in the section of the screen. We called TMO about getting a replacement. Well they didnt have any. They said they had a Samsung Galaxy S 4G or Mytouch 4G that were comparable. So I had them send the Galaxy S which is basically an upgraded version of the Vibrant I had.

My GF called them the next day and they said they did actually have the Sensation and could send me that instead but had to send the Galaxy S back unopened.

So my question is keep the Galaxy S or return it in hopes that they have a Sensation to send me (leery of that though). Are they really that comparable? Only concern is I think I would have to root the Galaxy S in order to get ICS but the Sensation has an OTA for ICS and Galaxy S doesnt have a flash.

Thanks for your opinions/thoughts!

Send back the galaxy. The sensation is a better phone. Nothing wrong with the galaxy, but its outdated. It has two successors now. The sensation has plenty of dev happening, its relatively easy to root an upgrade to ICS. DO NOT use the OTA update, cause that'll just make your rooting a whole lot harder. You'll get better stuff by not doin it anyway.

[HTC Sensation] IllusiveDreams:
I decided to send back the Galaxy. However they said they did NOT have any more Sensations. A couple of days later they supposedly have some. Should be getting that this week. While cruising the interwebs, I saw the Google Galaxy Nexus and decided to buy that. When the Sensation gets here, Ill just sell it. Thanks.

In network mode, there are options to set to GSM/WCDMA, GSM only and WCDMA only.

After I set to WCDMA only, all is ok.

But if I reboot, it will switch to GSM/WCCDMA again.

How come this setting does not stick? It works in S2.

Anyway to make the setting stick?

Hi !

Anyone can please give me the correct site for download of XXJW6 ? I live in Thailand and the download links are given only for Australia and New Zealand and many links for Europe but confused which one appropriate for me !

Have tried the Australian and one European version but does not seem to be the right one cause they lag like crazy !

And also the exact download links for Rooting and the correct Kernel.

Your help would be very appreciated and hope not asking for too much !

Thanks !

[Motorola Droid RAZR] psychot3ch:
Since I've been on smart phones, I've moved all my music to those and shunned my now broken iPod away.

I've had issues with the original Droid's headphone jack, but what Droid owner didn't? I was able to deal with annoying static though, and simply forcing it closer to the contacts by sliding a piece of plastic in there helped a lot.

When I got my RAZR Maxx it was so much better. Once I found out how to get my bass back, I was in love. I was a bit worried about having a similar issue as with my Droid though as I listen to music with the phone in my pocket with a lot of movement. I'm usually riding bike after all.

I haven't had much of an issue for a while now, but recently things have turned south.

While I was on GB, using Skullcandy Ink'd ear buds, the slightest little movement of the plug could stop my music's playback, no matter what app I was using, (tested in Winamp, Pandora, My Music, and Power Amp) and eventually it would start launching the Voice Commands app. Other times, I could move the plug as much as I wanted and it wouldn't do a damn thing but play my music, which is exactly what I wanted.

I recently upgraded to ICS leaks and froze the Voice Commands app with Titanium and succeeded only in having the music stop as if I had unplugged it.

Once my gf killed my ear buds, I upgraded to Skullcandy Heavy Medals which seemed to fix the issue out right.

Once again though, I am having the same issue as before. I can get set on my bike, ride for a while listening to music fine as can be. Once I stop for any reason, if I move my leg at all, there's a good chance the music will stop as if I had removed the plug...

I know the plug is not damaged, and I've not done anything major to the jack to damage it.

Is there anything I can to do help prevent this? Any ideal ways of removing any lint that might be in there?

I don't really have time to take off my glove, fish my phone out, and press play again at 30 MPH in traffic...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fiktion:
This RAZR is the only phone I've ever had problem with lint and dirt getting into the headphone jack. I used air from a compressor, and a small spring, and just twisted it around until I got it all out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
Not exactly responsive to your query (about the headphone jack), but have you considered bluetooth stereo earbuds like these? You need to follow that link to Amazon and see all the pictures before you reject this flat out. You can wear these inside your bike helmet, while the bulk of the device will ride around your neck, below your helmet. My best friend has them and loves them. They have ridiculously long battery run time. The sound quality is good (acc. to my friend). If you were connecting by B/T, there would be nothing to plug into the headphone jack.

Not the solution you were looking for, but might solve your problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Lonwa:
Hello,

Just installed ota ICS last night. I did have to recreate my corporate sync settings to get email from exchange again. When I went to look at my tasks I noticed they were empty. I went and checked the settings under the corp sync account and found the option to sync calendar, email and contacts, but the tasks option is now gone. Did they intentionally remove this setting, or did them just move it to another area? I would like to be able to continue to sync my exchange tasks natively like I could before the ICS update.

Any ideas?:confused:

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] erpurohit:
Hi,

I have started this thread as I haven't seen any discussion forum which gives us a review on the modems being used in India.

I have tested quite a lots of modems and here are my reviews on each of them.

1. JW4 - battery life was good, lots of drops in network

2. KB3 - battery was draining like a hell in 3-4 hours almost 60-70%

3. KF1, ZSJPG, JVT- all are balancing the battery life and good network speed

4. BUJP5 - currently testing since yesterday night, amazing network speed and good battery life.

I have tested all the modems being on ICS and using them on 3g almost whole day and remaining being on WiFi.

If anyone of you came across any new modem, please post the link of the same and I will try to use it provide you the review for it (no ETA please)

Location - Mumbai

Network - Vodafone/Reliance

Thanks to RITZYtheDEVIL for the suggestion

Lets do it in a professional way and this information will be helpful for new members coming over xda from India.

Install the app 'Network Signal Info'.

Open the app and press Menu key -> Log Mobile -> Log every 10 seconds -> Enable log file.

Press Menu key -> Screen Timeout -> 5 Minutes.

Now you have to keep your phone like this for 5 Minutes. make sure the screen stays awake and DO NOT TRY TO CLOSE/MINIMIZE THE APP. Keep it in foreground.

During these 5 Minutes it is advisable that you walk around a little bit with your phone, go into different rooms and if possible even go out of your house. Basically, don't keep standing at one place.

Press Back key -> 'YES' to exit.

Now connect your phone to PC -> in internal SD card go to folder "NetworkSignal" -> open the file in 'MS Excel'.

Enter your information in the form by 'Open Form'

If you want to view/copy all the responses in a spreadsheet then 'Open Responses'

The Google doc linked above is public and it will stay there forever, so don't worry about it. Please help make the list grow.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] vinu_h:
You seem to have covered quite a few modems. Thank you for that. I've tried a few myself and am tempted to recommend that you try XXJVU. I've experienced excellent battery backup and network connectivity with it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TVwithParents:
UCKF1 — Signal ranges between -70 dBm to -85 dBm. Battery life good.

DDJV5 — -60 dBm to -80 dBm. Battery life good.

XXJVU — -50 dBm to -80 dBm. Excellent Battery Life. Best modem in my opinion.

XXJVT — Same as XXJVU.

I have noticed the XX series so far has given the best signal reception and battery life.

Please note, if you are using a 3G network in India, signal reception would be average everywhere. And the signal would keep fluctuating between 3G and 2G. Hence, hardly all 5 bars.

The above readings have been done on 2G network mode.

A very important thing:

Most people think the modem is the primary drainer of the battery. It's NOT. You have to use a good kernel too. I have used a variety of kernels on CM9 and have figured out that Semaphore is the best kernel. Devil3 is the next. Stock kernel sucks for battery life.

Thanks...one last question on this. If I want to go back to the stock then how do I switch ? I read somewhere that flashing a nightly will not revert to the stock radio. I was in US last week, I got much better battery performance with stock radio as compared to what I get in india.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erpurohit:
Just take the note of one which you are using right now by going to settings-> About Phone -> Baseband version.

Whenever you want to go back just flash the appropriate modem version by downloading.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erpurohit:
Thanks mate for the above link however I think we are aware of those modems and few of them are not going to work in India and few are from old firmwares.

I am only trying those which are newer as there is no point in testing old firmwares which are already outdated.

Hope this makes sense...

No, I haven't tried XXJVU modem with an ICS rom. When I was using an ICS rom, I went with the default modem that came with it. Never did experiment much with custom rom's.

Edit: Apurv24's post carries the link to it - XXJVU - the 2nd one; appears to be listed under ICS. I'm not sure about the risks and compatibility either.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erpurohit:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TVwithParents:
So far I have noticed XXJVU gives the best signal reception almost all over India. I'm from Pune.

I have traveled and used my SGS with ICS and XXJVU all over India(North, East and South) apart from my home town Pune and have got excellent signal reception (-50 dBm to -75 dBm).

Please note that this is over a 2G network of Vodafone. I also have a 3G plan but when I shift to the 3G networks the signal reception starts fluctuating and gives a horrible 1 or 2 bars.

If you are going to use 3G networks in India, you will face issues with signal reception. Most cities in India have horrible 3G connectivity—metros included.

All in all, XXJVU gives me excellent 2G coverage all over India on my SGS i9000 with ICS and Semaphore kernel.

Battery usage is decided by a lot of factors apart from the modem—Kernel plays a major role in battery usage too.

Also i request erpurohit to kindly include this in the OP.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vinu_h:
Unless, the testers 'retrace' their steps with every modem, I don't see this proving anything. Most of us know which modems are good and not.

It will give a "RELATIVE" idea about modem performance, which is something.

Ofcourse i've added a column for 'overall user experience' as that is very important too.

Is this problem related to a baseband?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vinu_h:
I can't see baseband being the cause for those issues. Do you face the same problems with a stock ROM as well ?

I can see that you've done a clean install. I would however, suggest that you redo all of it; with particular attention to the recommended procedure and FAQ.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stirredo:
Yes, I did follow the procedure outlined at the thread.

Just to tell you what I did:

1. Coming from AOKP, wiped data, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache.

2. Installed i9000_4_2.zip for slim ICS

3. Installed common_ics.zip

4. Flashed Gapps.

Can't see where I might have gone wrong. I installed this on my phone and AOKP on brother's phone. Both are having the same problem. Just a little less frequent on my brother's phone.

I am thinking of going back to 2.3 due to this problem. Looks like I can't have any ice-cream afterall. Story of my life. ::(

Its good but for me when I frequently move to roaming and back it didn't catch the network quickly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aaprocks:
XXJVU it is!

I have been using XXJVU for the past 13-14 months (Just one month after buying the phone!) During this period, I tried out various other modems like DDJV5, XXJVT, XXJW4, etc... but XXJVU has been the best so far!

P.S. through out the period, I have been using the BSNL 3G Gujarat Connection and have been using 3G in Roaming in many states like Maharashtra, NCR, UP, Haryana, Jharkhand, MP! The only problem that I have faced sometimes is while on roaming, when you switch on the phone for the first time in the new network, at times it takes a few hours to activate 3G services. But I guess that is not the modem issue but a problem on BSNL part! I use 3G/wifi extensively and considering the battery to be 15 months old now, I get a battery life of around 10 hours with heavy usage and at most 15-16 hrs at medium use (never ever left the phone idle// so no experience for light use! :P)
