[Acer Iconia A500] kazai:
Hello all, I have 1 issue with my A500. Only during charger plug in, my tab become super lag. This problem started when I doing overclock using flexreaper extreme.

Tried to flash new kernel from eztery, upgrade bootloader to v8, and flash lightspeed ics rom. None of these works as I still have this problem. Even on recovery screen, my tab is not responsive when charger plugged in.

I don't know what caused this. Is anyone having the same problem? Please help.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
im on the same but no probs while charging, maybe titanium backup,. nandroid and wipe all and re-install flexreaper
[Acer Iconia A500] kazai:
actually i've tried that already. Real format and wipe all and flash different rom and kernel. Strangely it just heppen while charging. Do you think this is hardware problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
i think it must be as ive never read anything about this anywhere before did it do this when you was stock?
[Acer Iconia A500] kazai:
I never have this when on stock. Even after on flexreaper for few months also no problem. This only happen after upgrade to flexreaper extreme with OC. Weird.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
have you clocked it back to 1ghz? might help you out? im not really sure dud srry:o
[Acer Iconia A500] bouncer665:
Does your tablet have a loud screen whine while it charges? Mine has been doing that for sometime now...
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
def take it back and get a replacement that's a hardware flaw another member posted about that then eventually his tab died and wouldnt charge up, if i was you matey i would take it back asap to show them the whining sound so they cannot say you did something to break it, plus you'll have that noted down incase they dont do anything and it then does break.
[Acer Iconia A500] kazai:
Mine have no sound while charging. It charge the battery as usual. Only the tab become less responsive and typing using on-screen keyboard is a headache.

Tried that already, still have problem. I can minimize the problem by increasing the minimum frequency to 600+MHz.
[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
The whine could also be capacitors (if any) on the logic board that are about to burst or something. Or something is overloaded and getting stressed out.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
I don't believe its lag. The switching power supply causes some touch screens (such as mine) to become less sensitive requiring much harder finger presses
[Acer Iconia A500] kazai:
Bingo. You are right. I just realize that. It is actually less sensitive. Do you have any idea how to solve it?
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
If it worked on other versions, just flash back to what worked before or back to ota for real proof. You said it worked till you changed software, so change back and prove it's not hardware.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
I found some weird results by making a circuit. Try touching the tab with one finger and a laptop track pad with another. There's a tingle. I think it's a design defect internally - perhaps the screen assembly is touching something it shouldn't be. So in terms of a solution, I don't believe there is one, unless there's a way to earth the screen?
[Acer Iconia A500] kazai:
I have once dissemble the back cover. I'm not sure whether this is where the problem started. But I don't have this problem initially. Something is wrong with my device, just don't know where's the problem come from. I might touch something causing short circuit or something.

Tried flashing the stock ROM and still no luck. I don't think its a software issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
My tablet hasn't been opened and it still has this problem but not always. It hasn't done it recently.

I'm sure it's not a software thing but for the record I'm on Thor's ROM
[Acer Iconia A500] kazai:
Today I noticed something. I do have this problem when charging at my office. Looks like this issue only happen at certain wall plug. It happen at my house but not my office. Could be something with grounding.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Perhaps it is to do with the consistency of the power supply. My house is pretty old so I suppose there would be more voltage variation. When I get home I'll try and find a spare surge protector and see if it stops the issues. The actual existence of the issues is pretty sporadical though. There is no clear answer to this.

I do think you're onto something though
[Networking] M!x:
I was wondering why I can only get EDGE on my TMobile G2 phone... is it because of the GSM incompatibility that some TMobile phones have with the ATT network or am I doing something wrong?
[Networking] MrObvious:
Does your phone support 1900 MHz UTMS? That would be a problem. If it does then use *#0011# and make sure the bands are unlocked.
[Networking] M!x:
I got "connection problem or invalid MMI code" when I ran that.

Edit: Did a bit more research and it turns out that it does *not* support 1900 MHz UTMS for 3G, so basically, this phone + ATT network = no 3G service, as the hardware is incompatible.
[Networking] luftrofl:
Someone doing their own research? Get the hell out.

Actually, I don't think the G2 even does 3G on anything but AWS. The HTC Desire Z (identical but without carrier branding) has a version that supports AT&T 3G, however.
[Networking] KayxGee1:
You are correct.
[Networking] stevec5000:
Can you explain what you mean by "use *#0011# and make sure the bands are unlocked"? My Samsung phone can't get 4g service here on T-Mobile and it doesn't do 3G so I'd really like to enable HSPA+ if that's possible. I don't see anything on that screen that I can unlock though.
[Networking] luftrofl:
Check which UMTS (3G) bands your phone supports - I suspect yours does not support T-Mobile's 3G band (IV). The information is usually available on wikipedia or gsmarena.

You do not "enable" 3G through software changes. Your phone supports it or it doesn't.
[Networking] stevec5000:
It does support band IV, 1700Mhz, but it doesn't do HSPA+ so it can't get 3G. That screen still doesn't tell me anything though.

GSMArena says it has 3G Networking on HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 2100 / 1900 but that's not true. There is no 2100Mhz band, not on mine anyway. Actually GSMArena isn't very complete or very accurate, it don't even list the model T959V!
[Networking] luftrofl:
That's not how HSPA+ works - it's essentially just faster 3G. Also, I found your phone on GSMArena, not sure how you searched but the information is all there and it supports band IV (1700/2100) and I (2100).

Are you sure you've enabled 3G (or deselected "Use only 2G networks")?

What is the history of the phone (bought new, used, etc.)? It should "just work" on T-Mobile as it's T-Mobile branded but, no offense, your details are a little vague.
[Networking] stevec5000:
Sorry if I was vague but it doesn't "just work" on T-Mobile! At first I though all Exhibit II models would be the same however they could have different versions like the Galaxy 2 that has an older version for 3G and a newer version that also now gets 4G, who knows.

The phone was purchased new a few months ago and is still stock. I know HSPA+ is faster 3G since I can get it on 1700Mhz on another device using the T-Mobile SIM from the Exhibit 2. Can't get HSPA+ or 3G on the Exhibit 2 though.

Yes the phone is on GSMArena but the info is not accurate, it claims the phone gets 3G and has a 2100Mhz band but that's not true. It only supports band IV on 1700.

There is no option to enable 3G or "Use only 2G networks". It has options for WCDMA (for 4G on 1700) or GSM (for Edge on 1900) but there is no setting in between for 3G or HSPA+. I tried setting it to WCDMA only but it defaults back to Auto using Edge unless I go to a T-Mobile store where they have a strong 4G signal that gives 5 bars. If I leave the store and go down the street there's no signal though.

I have verified that WCDMA for 4G is on 1700 and GSM for Edge is on 1900 using a spectrum analyzer but it never uses 2100 and has never used 3G anywhere in the Phoenix, Mesa or Scottsdale area, just Edge. There may be other modes and frequencies but I haven't been able to verify them.

If there is a way to turn on 3G I'd like to know what it is? Someone suggested dialing *#32489# clicking #3 then UTMS but that didn't do anything.
[Networking] luftrofl:
I don't know where to begin but let me get this straight...

-You bought a new Exhibit II from T-Mobile.

-It doesn't get 3G outside of the store.

-Your other T-Mobile compatible device gets 3G outside of the store.

-You've owned this same Exhibit II which hasn't been connecting to 3G for months.

On these points alone, am I understanding you correctly?
[Networking] stevec5000:
Close but not quite correct, it doesn't get 4G outside of the store.

It can't get 3G at all anywhere!

Since there is no 4G network is there a way to turn on or enable 3G or is it hopeless?
[Networking] luftrofl:
In a previous post you said that you "know" what I'm talking about but clearly that is not the case.

What T-Mobile calls 4G is actually 3G with improvements to the backhaul as well as the radios on the phones - where T-Mobile has 4G, it also has 3G.

The point of my last post was to make it obvious that you have a defective phone. I shouldn't have assumed you would figure it as you haven't figured it out in the months you've owned a phone that obviously has reception issues.
[Networking] stevec5000:
Again not true! What they call 4G is using WCDMA but 3G is using HSPA+. 3G using HSPA+ has improvements that will allow it to go up to 20Mb but my Android phone doesn't have an option for 3G, just 4G using WCDMA. The people at the T-Mobile stores would beg to differ with you about the phone being bad since I've been to 5 T-Mobile stores and they say the phone works OK since it can get 4G on 1700Mhz in the store.
[Networking] luftrofl:
Your posts are too long to be trolling, but it still feels like you are because everything you post is wrong.

In case you're not trolling:

-Your phone has hardware defects that are affecting how well it connects to 3G.

-The fact that you get reception in stores is likely because stores have signal boosters.

-Retail employees are idiots. They are trained to use the products just enough to sell them (read: not much) and aren't paid enough to attract anyone with half a brain to the position. Walk a block away from the store and show them that your phone doesn't connect to 3G (or "4G" if you still want to call it that).
[Networking] MrObvious:
Both of you are feeling like you're trolling. :D :P

It may be a tower issue or your phone. The only way to check is to use another phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
There is someone local selling an unlocked international version on the GS2, with the physical button on the bottom. Is there any differences in the software between this and the TMO version? If I were to buy this, can I flash and root as if I were using the standard GS2?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
If that is the international version (namely i9100) then that is the standard sgs2. It had more development going on than the other versions of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
This is it...

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mob/3107471905.html

For the price, I'm thinking about picking it up this weekend. I was going to get the Galaxy Nexus but starting today it isn't for sale anymore on Google!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
That's the one. Go for it. And yeah, google lost between their fight against apple when it comes to the GNex, that's why it was removed from the playstore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
I saw that, and read an article that kept talking about the Nexus 7. I had a G2X that a sold and picked up a Nexus S for $165. I don't like this damn phone, so I'll be promptly selling and using the profit for a top tier phone!

Does the S2 feel like the standard cheap Samsung while holding it? Or does it actually have some weight to it? Coming from LG's and HTC's, those things are heavy.

EDIT: The Galaxy Nexus is supposedly available again next week.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
The S2 does feel flimsy when holding it, but you get used to it honestly... Dropped the phone many times, only have one dent on it. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
For me it is decent enough to look at and doesn't feel cheap even though it's light weight. Hmmm, you should decide whether you want a fast update (GNex) or better hardware buy slow update (Sgs2). Sgs2 is a great phone but samsung has the habit of updating a device for a year and then stop (not 1 year but you get the point). If i had the chance i would swap my sgs2 for GNex but i'm in doubt since i am a heavy user and i use my phone for gaming. Also, GNex lacks External SD card which is a No No for me. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Well, either way, I'll look forward to the device. Having the international version will be cool since not a lot of people have it, especially in white.

There is also a guy selling a white Galaxy Nexus. not too sure which to go for, same price even.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
I don't really care for the OTA's, I'll flash whoever put together a flashable version of whatever OTA is released...

I actually ordered a G. Skill 32gb SDHC Class 10 from newegg.com for my G2X, which I don't have anymore, now with the Nexus S, I have no use for the card! The SD write speeds on this phone are HORRIBLE, about 800k/sec!!!

I'm a fan of the non-carrier branded devices for some reason. My G2X had LG on the top instead of the traditional T-Mobile, and the screen hue while turned off was a brownish color instead of a blueish-gray that the TMO version had. I had one of each G2X's and in comparison, the screen for the LG branded was much more vibrant.

Now I have the Nexus S, again no branding, which is another reason why I want the Galaxy Nexus.

I'm confused, to say the least!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Well, if you don't care about updates then go for the international sgs2 (i9100). Great specs and still one of the best phone in the market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
The S3 is WAY to overpriced, I would just get that, but not willing to dish out around $500 for a non contracted phone.

Oh, another reason to stay away from the carrier branded for me, is that they won't get IMEI/ESN locked by which ever carrier!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Then go for it mate :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
I'm going to on friday, hopefully I get get rid of this Nexus S.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Don't get rid of updates...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Huh? i don't really care to receive Jelly Bean on the Nexus S, the DPI is atrocious on this phone. That, mixed with the screen type don't equal out to a good display. My G2X looked WAY better than this device.

The S2 will get a good Jelly Bean port before the Nexus S will, I'm sure of that.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Arno-kun:
I installed a ROM with its kernel (concretely, THIS rom with the recommended kernel) using CWM, and when I reboot it gets stuck at Sony splash... It's been like that for almost two hours.

So the question is... is it bricked? (I think that's a stupid question, it sure is...) Can this be repaired? Or I have to ask Sony for help (if possible)?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] samneov:
if you can get into cwm ..... try to reflash the rom....follow the steps given by the dev...wipe delvic/data etc..

if it does not work or if you cannot get into CWM reflash with night-elf kernel...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] samneov:
if it is unlocked u will be able to flash it with other kernels

do you have latest version of flash tools??

try to download it and try again......if u have unlocked bootloader....it should work

if nothing happens use SEUS to restore

Firstly the good news is ur phone is not at all bricked :):) ..i think u somehow installed the wrong kernel or something ..thats y the problem ..i had the same too about 3 days back ..u need to got back to the stock Rom ..and everything will be fine ..i think you knw it but i am telling u again : U need unlocked boot loader to flash custom ROMS :P

Now lets begin installing ur stock ROM

If u unlocked ur bootlaoder using the official method go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134335&page=2 and relock it but DRM keys wont be back ..but u r bootlaoder will be locked again :)

1) Here : download the stock ROM http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?tstart=0 and install it through flashtool or go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 to download stock ROM

2) Follow the instructions in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26798415&postcount=141

3) Now u r on stock ROM with stock kernel ..root ur phone again using doomlords method given in the link above.

4) install CWM

5) Unlock ur boot loader again (u cannot unlock it using the official way unless u have the boot loader key that sony gave u when unlocking the boot loader )

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sellless:
Generally happy with EG 5.5 but I have a few issues to report so far.

1.) I was in a call and had to navigate through an automated system by pressing numbers. This worked for about a minute or so of me pressing a number then putting the phone back to my face (at which point the screen went off as it should) and repeating. After the fourth or fifth iteration the screen stayed off and I had to take out the battery to reboot.

2.) Browsers still crash when I change orientation.

3.) Battery drains really rapidly compared to other builds (including 5.0). This may simply be the indicator not actually reporting properly though as I noticed my phone was stuck at 48% for three hours yesterday no matter what I did with the phone.

All of that said, I really appreciate all of the effort that's gone into these releases. At the moment though, I'm tempted to switch to the latest EG gingerbread release as I'd like hardware acceleration again, even though I vastly prefer the UI improvements in ICS. Meh.

Thanks for all of you hard work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kepapas:
Clear battery stats from recovery I had the Same issue with the battery I haven't charged my phone since yesterday around 7 and I have around 45% right now .when the screen shuts off and doesn't want to turn on press the power times 2 times or 3 but quick. When u reboot your phone make sure u let it sit for around 5 min before you start using it . Dolphin HD works like a charm no issues so far. navigation works too p.s make sure u calibrate ur battery
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Battery stats has nothing to do with calibrating your battery.

Battery stats only shows what has been using your battery like which apps you run... that's it, it does not store your battery's information.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kepapas:
It fixed the issue I don't know what I did but it worked
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sellless:
I had forgotten to recalibrate, still not getting great battery life but at least the indicator is working properly. Haven't had a repeat of the screen blanking during a call as yet. Dolphin HD still crashes when I change the orientation. I even did a clean install and still the same issue sadly.

Thanks for your responses...sorry it took so long for me to reply.

I've been a member now for some time however I don't post to often. I read the new policies that XDA has come clean with and would like to take a moment to express my feelings about it. Over the course of the last few months I turned to other forums; not because they were any better and the people on here were not helpful, but because of the "internal" struggles between Devs, Moderators, and Administrators. I truly didn't know what to believe and when it came down to my having to read about it within every post, I simply moved on to other forums where I felt this underlying issue was not at the forefront. I am so thankful to all the people who are involved in this site, developing ROM's and applications, moderating, and answering all the stupid and repetitive questions that (to their credit) are typically answered with kindness and direction. I think clear cut rules need to be enforced and I'm glad to see the site take on a "fair" stance with serious repercussions in place for folks that come onto the site and disgrace the people that are on here, working their butts off for people like me that are trying to learn, to understand, and who are looking for a "person" that can not only get answers, but provide inspiration to becoming more involved, educated, and contributing back to the community. To the admins of this site, keep up the great work. You've got at least one big supporter here!

Kind words, thanks :)

Certainly, I've always operated in a manner similar to what is described in that (at least AFAIK), in that I take no prisoners when it comes to idiots or trolls.

I think there's an advantage to these issues not being at the forefront, but also an advantage to the other side, where there's no secret about how things work. This is a developer site, it's advantageous in a way to let developers be aware of what we stand for, which is development!
