Being a bit of a newb myself. I wondered if anyone agrees that there should be at separate Q&A for noob (novice) questions only.

Therefore more experienced users can filter out stupid questions that even I think is ridiculous. Leaving the Q&A for real problems, rather than simple and stupid questions like "how do I flash a new modem" etc. I propose this idea in all platforms and models.

I felt as a true noob, some time ago that people are very quick to snap at noobs. Leaving them feeling like quitting and giving up. As a community member I feel this is an issue. Having a Q&A for noobs I hope would not leave noob questions unanswered.. just only given advice from willing and helpful members. Leaving experienced or dare I say selfish user the freedom they desire, and the noobs that extra bit of support.

After all, this is a community and we are "supposed" to be helpful. And we all started without any knowledge atall. I am eager to hear your responses.. both noobs and pro devs.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thank me if you agree or better still, post your thoughts. Thanks for your patience in reading my rant :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] steve1040:
I have a Sprint S3

I rooted and flash a couple of weeks ago.

1. I'm unable to boot to recovery using the home/volume/power combo

if I connect to my PC and use the ToolKit - I'm able to boot to recovery

2. Within recovery I'm unable to access my Sdcard

I have to place file on the phone and use internal storage option.

Any suggestion on how to resolve?

Thanks

Inspired by jjdoctor work from here I did it for .431.

== excerpt from jjdoctor page ==

I Modified Sony Settings to Enable AOSP Power Widgets which was disabled by Sony..

Just flash Attached file in Recovery... To see it, check in your Widgets

Incase of any problems. Go to Settings>Apps>All>Settings and Clear Data..

=========================

But with NXT style icons in Power Widget!

Thanks to:

jjdoctor for idea

AeonWorld for Xperia S graphics

me for doing new icons for Power Widget in NXT style.

Consider buying me a coffee if you like it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Miguel Pereira:
Hello all.

I've been having a strange thing in my XPS since I've updated (officially) to ICS.

Randomly the data connection simply stops working.

Basicly I've got full signal, the 3G signal is there, but the H stops showing and no connection at all. I never had this problem in GB...

The only solution is to reboot the phone. As soon as I do that is working again, till the next failure.

Any ideas what might be happening? And the web brwosing in ICS is so much slower... In GB is was almost instant, in ICS is... Awfull. Should I go back to GB? None of the new things in ICS really interest me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
There is some reports about this bug,you have to wait for an update or try another firmware.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zlotvor:
Same here.

When I leave my home network in the morning I have to reboot my phone because data is not available until reboot.

If later connect to any wireless network the data traffic comes back like always before.

Same is with my home network. If the phone is connected to home network and I force data, it's always working, only the morning is problematic.

I'm using ICS 4.0.4
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pascalbrax:
Same problem here.

It just randomly stop to communicate even if the 3G or H icon is there. A samsung guy told me it may be an incompatibility between the ICS kernel and the modem firmware. No issues while connected to any WIFI.

Fixed with a reboot. Never happened to me with GB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] defsix:
Same here, a reboot solves it, switching data off and on again, or going aeroplane mode and back don't do anything for it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] algisas:
I have the same issue after updating to ICS.

I use preooted stock ROM.

Any updates on this issue.

Can anyone recomend ROM version which does not suffer form this issue?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] defsix:
Any one any suggestions on this ? It's really getting annoying...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] airizsyah:
same here, and because of that. im stop using Juice Defender anymore. JD cut the connection and reconnect few minutes after based from my setting just to save some battery juice, and this bug really annoying since i cant get any connection even JD reconnect. instead of reboot. im switch off-on data.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kdroid79:
+1

ive noticed that after every 12-15hours my data connectivity shuts off completely. only solution is a reboot. this never happened on gb. annoying indeed.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eh_hk:
Same problem here

.452 original firmware, update via sony pc companion
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blakwhite:
Anyone contacted sony mobile about this issue to inform them for the coming firmware?

It's probably in all ics versions (.58 firmware here).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RAFAMP:
I've updated as well via Flashtool and now data doesn't work at all!!!!

edit: i just had to configure the apn, lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
same here (sony ICS rom). i talked to sony about one week ago regarding this issue. they told me that this comes from my sim card. i told them that i've never had such a problem with my SE C510 but they insist that the issue can only be solved with replacing the card... :eek: i do not believe this. i see the little arrow appears below the "H" and that means data is sent but not received. still turning off and on the phone once a week.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrZippo:
I am having this problem too on UK generic Android 4.04 build number 6.1A0.453
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pascalbrax:
No fix yet?

How's possible Sony is not aware of this problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] defsix:
I would actually agree with what Sony say here, I was away for a few weeks and used a forign SIM card for that duration. Not once did the Data stop working, that included hopping between Wifi, H, 3G, E, etc.. So Maybe it is a SIM issue ? SInce I came back I also updated to the newest ICS release and haven't seen the issue yet.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sutepm:
I have the same problem and it's extremely annoying. I lose data connection after about couple of days. It doesn't make sense that this is a sim problem because GB was fine.

I have ICS 6.1.A.0.453.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] huntedsoul12:
Same here, I am sure its not the sim card, comm'on!!!

Did you ask to Customer service? They know jack****... lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blakwhite:
Upgrade to 2.45 firmware and no more data problems. I don't know if it's the same with the combination if latest fw and older custom kernels though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bonethug_51:
i have the same problem. is that the official upgrade?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] warface:
Latest 2.45 firmware. Get a data drop nearly every day.

Tried three different kernels.

Pisses me off no end...

Sent from my LT26i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blakwhite:
Do not use custom kernels if you want to get rid of the issue. They're still based on older version sources as the new sources have not been released. It may be the culprit as I have not experienced any connection lost since I started using 2.45 stock only.

You can still have root without a custom kernel now.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Yes, and with binary's root.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] warface:
I'll try a stock rooted kernel today. I *think* I've tried one before, but will flash it again to confirm or deny.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blakwhite:
No stock rooted kernels, just flash the untouched stock kernel or the whole firmware including the kernel and then root with binary's way.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] freestaler:
I had read something about this topic in the sony forum. There was from some users the solution to disabled the TrafficLimiter. But it doesnt work for me. And i had test different Kernel. Whitout any succes. Then Problem is still there aso with an untouched Kernel. So if somebody knows a permant solution, please post it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blakwhite:
I had the annoying problem until I flashed the whole firmware fresh to a wiped device. Since then, I haven't experienced it. So it is my deduction that it has something to do with either the older kernel or with the older kernel-firmware combination.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BikerXC:
Same problem with the last release of the Sony's firmware .75...

Does anyone know the solution?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blakwhite:
Yes, uncheck data limit in settings.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BikerXC:
It's already unchecked so I understand that isn't the problem...

I have noticed that when I turn on the airplane mode and turn it off again, I don't have to put the SIM key, a bit weird isn't it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bmacuc:
Sent an email to Sprint explaining my issues with battery life after ICS update. Here is the response I got. Just thought I would share :-)

Thank you for contacting Sprint. I apologize for the inconvenience that

you have experienced with your phone.

There is no known issue related to the Software upgrade to Ice Cream

Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy SII handset.

Please visit your nearest Sprint Repair Center for assistance and ask

them to perform a diagnostic test on your phone.

To shorten your wait time at one of our stores, you can make an

appointment online or over the phone. It's easy to find a Sprint store

that is convenient for you; simply visit sprintstorelocator.com.

Alternatively, please call Sprint Technical Support at 1-888-211-4727

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggs170:
not trying to be rude but if you are on stock ics and you are having bad battery life you should probably look at your battery. Don't expect to get over a day with these phones, but stock Ics is pretty good on battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
I'm sorry but there is no way in hell that sprint does not know what is going on. They do know what is going on period. One good look at their forums over at sprint says so.

That email you go back looks like a standard form letter ( email ) that they just push out to get you off their backs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mcadamry:
Those emails are automated.

They scan for key-word phrases, and automatically respond with pre-set emails.

I can guarantee no person at Sprint read it.

They don't even copy and paste anymore, just a script that responds!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
Are you sure its ICS and not some rogue program you installed?

I would suggest a hard reset and leave the phone stock (IE - not install any apps) for 24-48 hours and see if you still have battery issues.

Or it could very well be your actual battery....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I do know of one issue I have seen with a few ROMs and kernels. There is a issue where if you have the notification light enabled and you get a notification then it keeps the phone from entering deep sleep. Now I will say this issue didn't seem present on stock FF18. If you're not running a stock kernel I suggest flashing Chris41Gs stock SAFE kernel. It doesn't seem to be plagued by this bug. Just something I've noticed and thought I would share.

Need Help? Hit me up on GTalk: scarmon27@gmail.com or find us on the IRC : irc.flux.cd #TeamRejectz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yyk981:
Right there with you

You're not alone. There are a bunch of us having issues with the released ICS. I'm probably going to revert to Caulkin's EL29. That was the best I've had so far. I've talked to sprint and they don't seem to care too terribly much. Initially they claimed a network outage for my connection issues, but when I told them it's everywhere I go the rep didn't have much else to say. It seems that they released ICS without really testing, which is frustrating. This is as much Google and Samsung's faults as Sprints.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
I think its mostly Samsung and sprint fault Google has no fault in this update and of course sprint reps and techs not going to care cuz there's nothing they could do plus I'm pretty sure they hoping for Samsung to hurry up with that patch so people would stop calling them and complaining about the failure of the ics update.

Its funny cuz everyone wanted ics people here in xda well for this device was impatient and was rushing Samsung for the update which now everyone is hating it for having issues lol well this is what you get, me on the other hand I could careless for the ota because source was the major big deal once I read that ota and the leaks where the same their wasn't no reason for me to take the ota update then since there's really no difference heck I Odin back to el29 got on caulks 3.0 gb rom and I'm going to stay there till the devs finish compiling or doing what ever it is that they do with source kernel, once its ready and ics roms are better and much more stable with kernel source that's when ill go back to ics I think that's the best idea to do but I know that's kinda hard for some of you flashaholics out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gilbydakid:
Not to be a ****. But, maybe this will teach people to stop rushing things.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Your not being a **** at all its just basically the truth there's folks out here that act like little kids and are impatient to received there candy and mind you the devs that are working real hard shares and make these candies for free, heck I'm a flashaholic myself but I have other hobbies besides flashing that could keep me entertain that's what some of these folks here need if you check the dev forums you'll see so much useless post referring (omg I can't wait for the next update, or omg freaking awesome there's a from update thanks alot I'm downloading now) like if the devs doesn't know that your going to download it I mean yea its good to give your respect and good comments and such but I think instead of cluttering the dev forums with useless non info about issues the bad and the good about the rom just hit the thanks button for these incredible devs.

Geez sorry I just had to rant cuz idk how these mods and devs can handle it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bmacuc:
LOL, wow, apparently opened a can of worms here. The point of my post was merely to let other xda users know that I contacted sprint and they told me there is no known issue with the ICS update on the E4GT.

Love you all :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
You do realize there were 3 weeks without an RDF? Sprint couldn't take that into thought to make bug fixes? There's plenty of time for us to wait.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
I guarantee most people problems will be fixed if they did a clean install. Not many people were *****ing when it was just a leak. When i was running FF18, battery was as good as GB. I got 5+ hours of display time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I had great battery life on most if not all of leaks. The difference was, I almost always did clean installs. I'd bet the battery issues are related to old GB app data not playing nice on the ICS base, which is why most that have done a factory reset after upgrading to ICS have seen their battery life improve.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
couldn't agree more... additionally to vent a little since this seems like a good post to do it in I'm getting really tired constant onslaught of "bug" posts about the stock ics ota... most of them are specific to the user and not an actually bug ( ie "this isnt exactlly the same as it was in gingerbread im anggggry" ) and it doesn't seem to be appropriate for xda... take that sort of stuff to the sprintusers forums, the devs here are not going to be patching the stock ota for you. If you find an actual bug in a dev's rom please use the dev thread to report it, the dev will thank you, and believe it or not this is the actual point of the dev threads, despite what the thousands of posts saying "omg rom update thanx you!!!1!1 flashing now" would lead you to believe ( use the damn thanks button as opposed to cluttering up the dev thread, that's why its there)....ugh, this place would be a lot better if people would learn to use the damn search bar as well, as its not super fun to see the same questions in thread after thread.... also get off my lawn... /end rant
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
That's the number one thing that annoys me just seeing the same questions after post after post for example look at Chris 41 new thread for his new kernel in the op it states everything you need to know I mean everything and yet folks still tend to ask I feel like if your not going to read then don't flash at all cuz the dev do what they can and post all the info that is needed so folks won't have to clutter the dev forums with the same questions over and over but it seems like folks these days are to lazy to read or are just straight up dumb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:

I have stock (completelly stock) EL29 Samsung epic touch 4g and I updated via a sprint update (legal) and my phone reboots constantly and battery life is not that good. I know is not the battery because prior to that I went all day with one charge.

use stock mail, text, phone and contacts the only program not stock is the go launcher.

So I think a clean install might not be the solution.

Im curious, what wiping is performed during an ota update?

(sorry, "legal way" noob here...

What the crap does that mean, anyhow? Samsung gave it to us)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Exit_Only:
You need to manually do a factory reset under settings/privacy/Factory Reset. The OTA Does NOT Wipe ANYTHING.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Let me get this straight you emailed Sprint support, not looking for a Sprint support answer. You got a Sprint support email which I could have written for you and you posted it.... Hmmmmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
My thoughts verified....

And how many people with random little issues actually took time to install a safe kernel, perform the appropriate wipes, update prl and profile, and leave the damn thing alone for a day or two for calibration, adjustment...etc before Sprinting to the conclusion that the stars are unkind to them?

Get a safe kernel,

Do GPSCLEARX,

Do ##72786#

Do ##786#

Do factory reset from settings

Wait a cycle before doing anything intensive...

And if you still have issues scream hardware failure, or find the source of the user error.

Or just save yourself twenty minutes of easy work by flashing back to GB :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clj03:
For those with battery issues. I was getting terrible battery life after ICS update on clean install. My phone wouldn't last 6 hours without being charged with very little usage. I was really unhappy thinking about going back to GB. Then I came across another thread about doing a battery pull. turned the phone off let it charge until it was !00%, took the battery out before unplugging the charger, waited a little over 5 minutes and put it back together. My battery life has significantly improved. I get through the day with moderate usage GPS, BT, games without having to charge my phone. It may be worth a shot and I hope it may help someone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
