establish updatability, whats current version.

get your emei, dial *#06#

then your csc, dial*#272*imei*, not the country you live in,

then check if there is an update available for that csc, i. e. www. sammobile.com or checkfus (search google, fastest download)

or connect to kies on pc with usb and check there

or download roms and install yourself, best via pcodin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] satshow:
I have already look with kies and nothing was found. Will occasionally check whether there is an update available.

Hi all,

Just moving to Melbourne from the UK and I wondered if the S2 will work there.

Moving from Vodafone probably to Amaysim which is on the Optus network.

There seems to be a lot of variations of S2 and I am a bit confused.

TIA

Dred
[Galaxy S II General] snowman77:
Yes . The I9100 and the I9100P(Only difference is has NFC chip) is compatible in Australia . I'm ON amaysim. They are great:)
[Galaxy S II General] dishco:
Making the same move in a month's time and figured it would be ok, but thanks for the confirmation.
[Galaxy S II General] gyco:
3G bands used by the 3 networks and resellers in Australia are:

Vodafone- 850/900/2100mhz (900mhz is primarily in rural areas).

Optus- 900/2100mhz

Telstra- 850/2100mhz

I'm sure most (all?) variants of the S2 have these bands.
[Galaxy S II General] snowman77:
Just check if your S2 is locked .

Issue to resolve: Phone not booting into ROM, stuck at 'htc' screen. Second issue is with Google Play, says "No connection".

Any help on this is highly appreciated!

Short story:

Hello everyone.

After I got my Samsung S3 I decided to play around with my old HTC Desire a little bit. My aim was to install a ROM that would be as plain as possible, visually, so I can play around with it (which I hoped would also maximize battery life) and make it n00b friendly. CronMod seemed the way to go, what with his tweaks and the INT2EXT script etc to maximize app space. Plus didnt want to go to ICS cuz of camera issues.

However, I've been struggling with it. My phone rarely boots up after a shutdown, it just stays at the opening HTC screen and nothing happens. When it does load up into the ROM, on the rare occasion, it'll Reboot fine as many times as I ask. Its just after a shutdown that it doesnt work. Since I want to give this phone to my mom, she, not being very tech savvy, wont have the patience for this. So I need a permanent fix.

The second issue I'm having is with Google Play. It works fine for a little bit but for no reason will stop working. This happened the first time I installed the ROM, then I re-installed and it again having the same issue. I tried "Clear Data" and phone reboot but still no respite.

Phone Details:

CM7r2

6.93.1002

GSM HTC Desire

4EXT recovery.

16GB class10 card: sdcard0 ~13GB, 1.5GB EXT4, 256MB Swap. (also, if someone can explain what Swap is would also help)

Apps2SD script used: Cron's INT2EXT - seemed pretty good.

S-OFF'd and all of course - Revolutionary.io used.

I did try MIUI-Au before this, which was pretty decent, and I may just give up and move on to that if no one has a solution.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannySID:
Did you changed hboot? i had the same problem when i installed miui on oxygen r2, which wasnt compatible. If you didnt change hboot i think it's the rom, i suggest you flash another one. And about swap..well the point is you dont need a swap partition. It's like another part of ram, when the ram is full the system uses the swap to free it(or something similar, i'm not good on explaining so sry if you dont understand but it's similar).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashman007:
I changed the HBOOT before I flashed the ROM on. The CM7r2 HBOOT is meant to be compatible with the ROM.

Thanks for the info on Swap, it does make it a lot clearer.

I'll probably wait a bit longer to get some more replies, and if I cant fix the issues then I suppose there's no option but to move to to a new ROM. [I really hope the Devs get the camera issue sorted with ICS roms then I'll jump ship "in a flash". :)]
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
You have given hboot version as 0.93.XXX. A cm7r2 hboot ver should be 6.93.XXX.

check!

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashman007:
Yes, that's correct. It is 6.93.1002.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
If it is just stopping at the HTC screen then I am inclined to think it may not be a ROM issue. At this stage you are still in bootloader. Will it even refuse to go to recovery when it starts acting up or for that matter is even fastboot available? If it neither goes to recovery nor can you access fastboot then that means it is hung in bootloader.

But the bootloader should be OK since a corrupt bootloader means brick. You cant boot sometimes like you seem to.

The other reason for bootloader hanging would be I guess overheating or some other hardware fault. Does the device boot up fine after you let it cool down well?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashman007:
I can get into Recovery fine every time - VolumeDown + Power -> Fastboot -> Recovery.

I cant seem to get into the ROM anymore. It does warm up pretty quickly if I leave trying to boot up but I figured that was because of the screen drawing more power due to constant white screen. What I did find earlier in the day was that if I held down VolDown+Power+Trackball (is that hard reset..?) at that HTC screen it would sometimes restart the phone and then it would load up to the ROM - but its hit and miss. Like right now it just wont work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannySID:
What do you mean camera issue? Sandvold's ics rom camera works very well, so what' problem you mean?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashman007:
Arent there still stutter issues when making videos?

Anyway, I'd still like to fix the issues with this ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panpjp:
Maybe your Desire's partitions are somehow corrupted. Use 4ext to check partition, or do a full wipe, including sdfat32.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
I would wipe davlik cache and perform a system wipe/factory reset from recovery then install CM7 as this is pretty plain and can be easily customised. Also you can install S2E from the play store to manage your A2SD with no separate script needed. Hopefully you don't have anything on the phone you need to back up. With any luck this might fix your play store issue too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashman007:
@panpjp: I did al that but it still didnt work, unfortunately.

@hans: I've given up on CronMod now. I just went with Marange MIUI. Its working fine so far but the data2ext script doesnt seem to be as smart as the INT2EXT I had installed with the CronMod. At least its working ok. The other issue with it is the Video Recorder - it's very jerky, so the videos do have a lot of stutter, as I had suspected/speculated. Oh well, hopefully an update will fix that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croniccorey:
I have come across this issue once with 1 out of the 4 desires I have personally installed my rom on. Change the kernel to cronmodkernel 1.2 or a kernel of your choice and it will boot and shutdown. I am working hard to find the cause of the issue
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panpjp:
To make sure flash gb ruu and take to service.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashman007:
I hate to ask this question, since I'm sure you're busy fixing bigger issues, but what exactly is a kernel? I know the ROM is like an OS on a PC but then what is the kernel? How would I install it (is it just the same ol' Recovery --> Install from sd but without any wiping?) and why would it fix the issue with my phone?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croniccorey:
The kernel is what runs the OS it is a Linux kernel patched for the arm architecture it contains the drivers as well as it is responsible for booting the phone and also is the layer between the hardware and software.

For a more in depth explaination PM me
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannySID:
To put it simply, it's just a bunch of codes that makes the link between the hardware part and software part.So without it the software part doesnt know how to use the hardware part. And yes you can flash it from recovery and since it's a part of the rom, maybe the rom's kernel it's deffective or something, it's worth to try.
[HTC One X] Haxxler:
Hey guys,

got my One X for a couple of days now, and im pretty blown away by it. But there is one thing that drives me nuts. In the stock SMS app, i cant see contact pictures. As you can see on the image its just blank. But every contact has its facebook photo in the contact list. How can i get this to work right?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
A question that what you made fuzzy were numbers or names?

And there is an old bug in Android, in the stock sms app. Where it doesn't recognize contacts. I has it.

So I use a thirdparty app. Handcent.
[HTC One X] Haxxler:
Both.

I actually like the stock sense sms app :/ So there is no workaround?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Well I am not sure you have the bug I do. As said I see only numbers so this might be not even related.

Maybe there is some easy fix for this, try to search or wait till someone more experienced answers.

But you like the stock app. Imagine how much you will love not just like but LOVE the thirdparty app. Handcent or Go SMS.

Just try it if it displays the pics if nothing else :). If there are no pics you can rule out the SMS apps and move on to fix your contacts.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

I see contact pictures/icons in the SMS application, always have. I think it depends on where your contacts are coming from, mine are from Hotmail Exchange. If I add a picture to a contact on the phone, it appears online as well.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] ste1164:
I also see contacts pictures properly from Facebook.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
no

also doesn't help the OP
[HTC One X] Haxxler:
Ok, so its not an facebook issue, because i dont see the pictures from contacts who are not connected to facebook neither. And they wont show up in Handcent, too. Pretty weird.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rykoshet:
I've been using the stock ICS ROM and I am very impressed with the battery, coming from my X10.

How does Jj's ROM compare? Do the kernels make a difference,, as I was just going to keep the stock kernel I believe.

Thanks, I'd really like to get an idea of the differences.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazensahlieh:
No such thing called Streak doesnt support Arabic, it like deysmacro said i think, although iOS does support Arabic.

The strange thing is that i used my Streak with Arabic on stock 2.2 , Simple streak, Gingerstreak ,DSC , MIUI and CM7.2(supports full arabic without any patch and with working mp4 encoding/gps)

So if u r not into 3d gaming, i recommend CM7.2 for the best Arabic support

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heidegeist:
Hey guys!

At first I'm new here and from germany, so don't be mad for my english.

I have CM9 running on my Defy and want to upgrade to CM10 Jelly Bean-Defy Builds by quarx or Epsylon3.

In no case I wan't to lose my messages on the phone and all the other things.

Do I need to do a full data wipe, installing CM10?

And does anyone have got a link for Jellybean Gapps without a torrent in it? In Quarx CM10 Thread only is a torrent link.

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiskenigaten:
I went from latest quarx cm9 to cm10 today without wiping. The phone did the application optimising before completing boot and I still had all my apps. I'm not sure I'd recommend it though. Some of my system settings weren't properly set after upgrading.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pozibrothers:
You can use this app to backup your messages and restore them later:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calmira:
I went from ICS to JB without wiping data, just cache and Dalvik-cache. It worked, in the sense that the phone booted and seemed to work, but after using it for a day I found it got really slow; applications were taking a long time to launch, and some stopped responding completely.

I saved my messages and performed a full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik-cache) and then flashed JB and Gapps again. This time, the phone ran much faster and after 2 days it hasn't had any slowdowns.

So, you can _try_ to upgrade without wiping, you won't lose data and the phone will be useable, but I strongly recommend doing a full wipe.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heidegeist:
Thank you, guys!

I think I'll give it a try.

What about the GApps? Do anyone have a link for that?

And the Changes from ICS to JB aren't that big
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebrojas:

Yesterday I flased CM10 (25/07) and I only do a wipe chace and clear devilk cache before flash CM10 and then gapps for Jelly Bean. You can find gapps for Jelly Bean here goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heidegeist:

Just shifted for ICS to jb....first of all the bootanimation remained the same ...the one showing cynogen 9

So I thought it didn't worked and started normally meanwhile checked the settings and came to know its 4.1.1

Can anyone please tell me the difference between ICS n jb except settings....like in ui or something...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heidegeist:
The App-Startup animation is different from ICS. When you take a picture it slides to the side after taking it. In Gallery the Images are now seemed to be stacked, like the page changing animation in App Drawer. The Statusbar is different and many other changes... Like the menu guidance and so on.

Hi, I have an SU760 korean version of the P920.

im annoyed the with dash "-" line inserted when im using the dialer. and also the sms has only 80 characters. is there any rom that removes tha dash "-" and maximize the 80 charater sms upto 160.?

as of now, what is the best rom for SU760.? everyday use.

does anyone has a link of the original rom for su760.?
[LG Optimus 3D] BigBadSheep:
As far as I know the su760 is the same O3D.So virtually any custom rom for the o3d should work on yours.
[LG Optimus 3D] Similya:
i have tried the rom Promethius Project, i've test both Promethius V1.5 SU760(Non-Wipe) and Promethius V1.5 21E(Non-Wipe) but only Promethius V1.5 SU760(Non-Wipe) works. Promethius V1.5 21E(Non-Wipe) boots fine but i have an hardware error.
[LG Optimus 3D] BigBadSheep:
Normally as far as I know, in order to be error free you must make full wipe, cache and dalvik wipe. And all this better to do them twice.Beware doing so will wipe also any personal files you have on your phone
[LG Optimus 3D] wayno140:
They are the same phone except I think they have different button configuration
[LG Optimus 3D] Similya:
Ive tried wiping my data several times and to my surprise it's still there. My phone is rooted, im using cwm recovery.

Do you have any idea what is the good custom rom for p920.?
[LG Optimus 3D] Kaleptik:
False.

A data wipe/factory reset deoes not touch personal files.

You only need to do a data wipe/factory reset and you don't need to wipe cache or dalvik-cache. Reason? The data wipe/factory reset option already does all three. Dalvik-cache is stored in the /data partition, so technically if you wanted to do multiple wipes, you'd only have to wipe the cache and data.

A full wipe doesn't mean delete personal data as well. As stated above, it's just wiping the cache and data.
[HTC Sensation XL] nipsadinio:
I would first like to say thank you to all the developers that are developing roms of the sensation xl. You guys are doing great and they are all great!

My question is why does the sensation xl lack in development and roms such as CM9, MIUI and other variations of custom roms compared to devices like sensation, one x etc. Anyway, not trying to hate here, just want to know if its a limitation of the phone or lack of developers.

Thanks :D and keep up the great effort :good:
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
It's down to a lack of developers. As far as i know, the developer vertigo from the three musketeers is working on CM9 for the SXL. But maybe i misunderstood someone.
[HTC Sensation XL] benjamin.j.goodwin:
I am sure he will pop along to confirm but, just so you know he is working on it. Just it's proving tireless - mainly because there really isn't much help coming from anyone but also because he, like the whole bunch of us is still learning. He will solider on though I know it. Once he's managed it, the doors will open for everything and we can really start to play with things. Like Paranoid Android, which would be brilliant on our screen size I think. And, for those of you who are asking elsewhere - it's because of this limitation that we won't have Jelly Bean, FOR NOW. :)

:cyclops:
[HTC Sensation XL] nipsadinio:
Cheers for the responses guys and I seem to understand now. Its amazing what you guys are capable of which can be seen by your musketeer roms so really looking forward to Vertigo's CM9. It's unfortunate though that the sensation XL doesn't have more developers, its a great device and as you said a tablet like rom would suit the screen size. Anyway, i'll keep an eye out for new roms/updates so cheers for everything so far and good luck with the CM9 rom vertigo.

Just wondering, if I were to get started on rom development, where is a good place to start. Cheers
[HTC Sensation XL] benjamin.j.goodwin:
For me, I just smashed google search a lot. Main issues are with some things a with the tutorials you find are out of date. Depends what you want to do. Good place to start is to use things like dsixda's kitchen to get some ideas. Read up a lot. But if you are interested in building from source then you need to start reading about linux and setting an area for that. :) If you then start to hit some problems, PM some developers or TUT writers, they might be able to help.
[HTC Sensation XL] nipsadinio:
Thanks mate, I've done a bit of messing around with dsixda's kitchen and will continue to try. I will move on to source compilation later after I get a grip on this stuff first. It's a nice starting place but as you said, a lot of the tutorials are out of date. If I do encounter any problems, I'll be sure to ask you or any other developer.

If anyone has any nice tutorials that really helped them, feel free to post :)
