I'm pretty certain this is an ics issue for some people. I had same thing last night, flashed gb, instant signal. If yours is consistent then I suggest running logcat to see what android is doing .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] butterbeam:
My wifes is doing the same thing. It hasn't ever been rooted. Sometimes all she can get is E or G and then it drops. We have 3G area but it doesn't pick it up. Maybe I need to root it and flash a new radio. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] agentg1001:
Hmmm strange , actually, mines worked fine before I upgraded to an ics rom , either cm9 or darkside evo . No signal drops whatsoever , not sure what's going on now , sim card seems to be fine , no drops In a froyo sidekick 4g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] agentg1001:
A strange update on this thread, my problems with signal loss are now gone now that I'm on cm10

Edit: when it boots I have to make sure its 2g/3g setting otherwise it boots with no signal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] agentg1001:
Disregard what I said in my previous post, I'm really hoping for a real solution/possible flaw with my gs2. I had to move my sim in my sidekick 4g, because my gs2 didn't seem to pick up any signal, and registering on the network would take forever . This is the biggest problem I have with my gs2. I can't always be moving my sim to the sk4g everytim my gs2 doesn't want to pick up signal, its very inconvenient. If it helps at all, I've had this issue every since I've gone beyond gb (this only seems to happen in ics and jb)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] danpluso:
Hello, I am hoping someone can set me straight on the flashing of modems/radios and what is the proper way to do it.

Do they have to be flashed during the rom flash and then never touched until the next rom flash or can they just be flashed any old time?

The reason I ask is because I was booting into CWM and flashing each Modem/Radio one at a time and testing them out. I narrowed it down to one that had the best call quality but after flashing back to it the quality was worse then it was the first time I had flashed that one. Is it possible for a modem to install differently the second time? I am not running any formatting or clearing anything.

Why would the same modem/radio give different call quality on different installs?? Should I only be installing the modems/radios at the beginning when I first flash the rom?

Would like to sort this out as my outgoing call quality is pretty bad. Tested my SIM card in my old Galaxy S on CM9 and it sounded a million times better. My Galaxy S2 LTE is on SKY ICS 4.2F6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] meno123:
You can flash a new radio/kernel on your phone any time after you've flashed the rom (as roms usually flash a radio/kernal when you flash the base) and it should not have any adverse effects on your phone (unless the kernel/radio is buggy/bad for your phone).

As far as formatting/clearing, I habitually clear my cache whenever I update anything on my phone and I haven't had any issues with deteriorating call quality and the like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] danpluso:
That is strange. My outgoing call quality is so bad compared to my Galaxy S on CM9.

I just flashed my phone to CM9 RC2 and will see how that goes. Now I just have to wait for a friend to give me a hand testing call quality.

It's really strange how I had different results with the same radio but different installs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ompalompa287:
I'm actually running CM9 RC2 as well and am having major issues with the radio that gets flashed with it (UCLF6) as I live in a test LTE area. The reception goes to 0 to full every 2 seconds and I never get any phone calls or missed calls when people call me.

CM9 RC2 seems to have an issue with the LTE toggle, Network Mode and "2G only" features. As soon as u turn it on, it auto switches back to the default LTE being on.

I did a little bit of research and found that I would need to flash a "RAT UNLOCKED" radio. My concern is the same as the OP in that I'm a little confused as to the proper method and steps to doing this. Any help is greatly appreciated. I think both me and the OP will benefit.

I've attached a screenshot of my about phone page.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] danpluso:
I recall seeing those "RAT Unlocked" radios listed on Mohan's Embryo thread.

It can be seen here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754473

I have no idea if those radios can be used with CM9 or not but I'm thinking of trying the embryo ROM and seeing how my call quality goes.

My problem is nowhere near as severe as yours. I get decent signal and can receive calls fine. My outgoing audio just sounds horrible and garbled. Who knows, maybe my issues also has something to do with LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] deezhemi:
That as almost correct. ROMs usually contain a kernel and the /system. They almost never contain a radio. That being said, yes, you can flash a new radio at any time. There are quite a number of radios for the Skyrocket because each ICS leak pretty much had a new one. You should have no issues flashing either a Rogers or AT&T radio on a Skyrocket. From what I've read and seen, different areas of the country do better on different radios. I would personally start with the radio from either the AT&T or Rogers official release and then work backwards from there.

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

The radios should work the same regardless of the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ompalompa287:
okay that sounds promising. to flash a radio do you simply flash the zip over everything on CWM? do u need to clear or format anything? once you flash do you need to change any APN settings or anything? sorry if these questions seem novice but i usually just use the stock radio. fist time doin this

Also: Where can i find and download the official rogers modems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] danpluso:
HMM.. Any idea why I would be experiencing these problems then? Just seems strange that I installed the same radio twice and it had different results on each install. Do you think it could be a phone hardware issue?

Would it matter if my phone is a Rogers and I am running an AT&T radio? Maybe I should try the Rogers radios?

@Ompalompa287

From what I gather... Just flashing the zip in CWM is all you need to do. No settings to change or anything. I have heard of some people wiping cache as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tmanybill4u:
I just simply need to know if there is anyway to disable 3g (force to edge) network? I have a at&t Skyrocket running cm9 Chopsticks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] danpluso:
So I just found out my phone has Noise Cancellation for the microphone. Maybe it's the noise cancellation mic that is causing the issues.

Does anyone know how I can disable the noise cancellation to test this theory?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Uncheck the box
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] danpluso:
Trust me, I have looked everywhere for an option to turn it off and I can't find one. I am on Sky ICS 4.2F6

Where do you go to turn yours on and off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
since cwm does not wipe the radio, flash new radio two times, even three times just to make sure it completely overwrites the old one you are replacing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
If it's in the usual ics location it will be in the in call menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] danpluso:
Okay, thanks for the tip. I will try that and see how it goes.

It's definitely not in there. Strange, I wonder why it was removed from SKY ICS.

Which Kernel For You Is the Best? In terms of Speed,Stability,Efficiency,..etc?:good:

Poll Added​
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Kousthubha Kumar:
SAVIE REV 60 V2 FTW! It has a inbuilt CWM too. Performance is very good. A bit harsh on battery but under clocking solves that and it can play angry birds space some what smooth in even 312-432 smartass v2 :D

Btw, I tried all kernels and its the best imo.

Hmm..This would be appropriate in general section rather than in Q & A?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
i will try savie..BTW is CWM stable? and is it working?(backup, restore, flash?)

a link for the rev 60?

i will try to ask mods to move this to general:highfive:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Kousthubha Kumar:
CWM is stable only on custom ROMs (no probs restoring/backuping etc). Stock ROMs backup/restore is bugged up. And you need to mount system everytime you flash any zip(in custom ROMs too). Savie is fixing these and so didnt release it officially. I have the test version along with some of the other testers. But the rest, its completely stable.

Features include swap compatible, ext4 auto mount, init.d support , droidwall support, some battery tweak, 4 freq , 18 gov, 7 i/o , busybox included and many more. PM me or savie for the link as its still a test release :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
cool, i will try it out later:D

for others, what can you say about merruk and white?:good:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] thirdzcee:
hey can i have a link of savie's latest kernel too? ? ? been on the one that came along with EVO X rom
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] jaison thomas:
Good thread i too have that dbt abt which one is the best.

Btw u could add repencis kernel too.a suggestion
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] yabyuh22:
yeah add repencis kernel fedy
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Heartlessangel2001:
Where is. Savie kernel v60. Link please. I have 54

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
ok, i forgot about that:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
you may ask kurotsugi or savie himself for the link, since he has sent the links out via PM for official testing, its not yet officially out:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kickthefreak:
can you give us link for savie kernel #60 rev2
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] leodasal2:
waiting for merruk final kernel :P
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] galaxy5360:
a link with kernel threads will be fine... thx
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Fallen_Knight:
off topic

hitme- didnt savie told you not to discuss that on public since it is under development??? well it is what he said to me...

by the way im using savie's latest test kernel and rep v3.5 kernel+modules+tweaks
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] leodasal2:
well, he told me not to publicly share the link as it is still on beta

but i guess praising his kernel publicly wouldn't hurt :highfive:

ps: waiting for merruk final kernel :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Heartlessangel2001:
i also got savie New kernel rev 60 1hour ago. he did not have any problems. the kernel's cwm is great. i wanted New governors like lutzactice and intildemand

sent from galaxy Y did i buy this crappy phone
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Fallen_Knight:
yeah right...anyway its real kernel war...hehe...by the way repencis isnt included in the poll?

has any one tried repencis 3.5 kernel+modules+tweaks of repencis v3.5 rom?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
it will be included..it slipped my mind in making poll, so im asking mike to add repencis..just wait:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] #Henkate:
Now I use repencis kernel with repencis 3.5.This kernel are good,but merruk kernel was first custom kernel with a lot of features for sgy.I dont tried savie and white kernel but for me merruk kernel was the best kernel and when will be updated I use it again:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
a lil bit narcistic answer for best kernel...my own kernel? (lol)

built our own kernel is not hard as we imagined. you can follow irfan's guide on this forum and you'll surely could do it by yourself. the most difficult part might be how to find the approriate source for our kernel, solve and the bug inside it, and integrate the source into our kernel. the rest process can be done by simplygive the proper configuration for our kernel built and wait till the process finished.

this is just my idea but how if we make a community source kernel for our device?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] thirdzcee:
Lol... but just curious bro. What are the features of this kernel of yours?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
it can't be compared to another custom kernel here since its my first kernel project. it has 4 freq, 3 sched, all built in gov + interactive, droidwall support, built in bacem tweak and APM enabled.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] alkesh95:
Noob questn

Wat is APM????

sent using repencis 3.5 wid a2sd

press thnxxx
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
advance power management. its a method to save more battery. somehow it solve screen suddenly turned on screen bug on my sgy.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
cool, will you release your kernel if you patched up everything bro?

your kernel is cool because its minimalistic

all i want for kernel is CWM,4 freq,good governor and IO sched:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mrdoods:
I know this is a noob question.

I hope anyone give info for us noob.

For us newly using custom kernel that have more feature like gov's and sched that can be use in cpu apps.

Just want to know the description, function, advantage, disadvantage and uses of this gov's (ie: smartassv2, ondemand, bcm, lionheart and etc) and sched (ie: noop, vrq, sio and etc). For us who want full understanding of this for not asking anymore which is good setting.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Rishad0172:
white v 7.0 because it supports droidwall. lol.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] whitexp:
I do not think this is a war!

indeed ..

There is no a war!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
war is just a term to compare the kernels..no literal war bro:highfive:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] vanessaem:
You're not getting the point of XDA. This site is about sharing and it's not about drumming up competition between developers. You're asking for nothing but trouble with a thread called "[kernel wars]".

That's why there is so much hatred and animosity in this forum and many others for that matter in the first place. Don't create threads like this and then be surprised when flaming, trolling, and other forms of disrespect takes place. A thread like this is actually disrespectful to developers more than anything else. And if that's your intention, then this is not the site for you.

Just use the kernel that works best for you and leave it at that.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _Manipulate:
I also ordered this case from poetic directly. Hopefully itll be decent. Anyone know of a case of this fashion thats a little further up the quality totem pole?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ethania:
I will try this one out as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] C4PO:
Well that was fast! Just got mine in. Of course, as luck would have it, I left my Infinity at home today and can't try it out yet. It seems like a nice case though. There's a magnetic clasp and the hand strap is there. My only concern is whether it will be too top heavy when used as a stand. By itself, it just falls over, but I'm hoping the weight of the tablet will fix that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hashish16:
Woah you already got yours! I get mine on monday. I'm glad to hear that its not too bad and I'm happy to hear about the hand strap, I didn't even notice that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hashish16:
Got my case, the I am pleasantly surprised for the price. I I can definitely tell the hand strap Will get loose over time. It does look nice, but but has that pleather smell.

Much better.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nerdsisme:
Isn't this for the TF201?
[Asus Transformer TF700] AspenMan:
It is for the TF201 but fits the TF700 fine (most of the cases you see advertised for the TF700 are the same as the TF201). The TF700 is just a tad taller so clasp is just a bit tight but other than that it's a perfect fit, none of the ports are covered and the camera is exposed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
i read somewhere the ports' placement on the TF700 is different from other transformer tablets
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ethania:
Just posted some pictures of this case HERE
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kupfel:
I have that case as well. Bought it for my TF201 and it fits the TF700 perfectly. Great quality and everything. Wouldn't want another one
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
this looks like a good hold me over case until a gumdrop or griffin case gets developed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hashish16:
My only problem with the case, after a few weeks of use, and is that the securing flap is a bit loose so the pad slides down a bit. I anyone else notice it? I plan on buying some low profile velcro to fix it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
my slimbook arrived today and i actually like it. it is definitely slim. my cheap stylus needs to be upgraded, as the tip came off when trying to push it through the holder (not a biggie though). i think this will do well to hold me until the Gumdrop case is available.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
I started having the same problem after about the same time. Today i went and bought some " stick-on hook & loop fastener" for $1.30~ at Wal-Mart. It works perfectly and has renewed this case. I actually really like it now as it makes the case really snug and feel secure.

TIP:

1) press the two strips together ( so they are even), then cut it to about 3 to 4 inches ( eyeball the length)

2) remove the adhesive film from one side only and stick pieces on the leather part first, make sure your tablet is seated firmly in the case (press the strips on until the fill secure). then push the flap with strips in until is snug. after that hold in place while you remove the second adhesive fillm, and close it.

3) let it sit closed a few minutes and you're done.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
Here are some pics of my case after the transformation. i really think companies that make this style of case should start using hook & loop fastener strips like this from the start. it's cheap and shouldn't add much at all to the cost of the product.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
WARNING! does not protect against drops! I just dropped my tablet as I was closing my car door. The tablet dropped from my hands about 3 feet or less, screen is shattered! it landed on a corner and that was it. I'm contacting Asus now about replacement/repair. Definitely don't have this case in mind for drop protection...but for looks and design it's fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I doubt there are many cases at all that will protect the screen from a drop onto the corner.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kubeb:
Seriously now, not to offend anyone but those kind of cases are very ugly.

Why buy such a cheap and bulky case for our beautiful tablet?

I see such an attractive cases for the ipad and wondering why no one is making a slim attractive case for the TF700 (or any other android tablet).

The blurex (which is just a brand name for Chinese case same as the MOKO ,ibalsson or RooCase) seems OK but why do I have to snap out the bottom clips to use the angle?

It seems that over time the clips will be flimsy or will damage the tablet.

All right I have a few question I figured I'd ask in one thread they pertain to one another I guess.

1. (blazer rom 4.0) So last night I flashed this rom because i have not given GB a chance everything went well flashed fine......but when I booted the phone everything came up but I had no service. not a empty signal display it had the circle with the slash through it no service. under about phone it said I had no number, no prl, no nothing. after doing a shutdown and restart service would come on periodically and the it would go back to what I had just mentioned.

2. (prl and profile update) so the whole reason I flashed I flashed back was to update my prl and profile. but for some reason I can not do either. for this one i just flashed back stock el29. It would say and show that I had a 3g signal but everytime I the instant I would hit update the signal would vanish and 5 seconds later i would get (error: no connection) thried this with 3g,4g,wifi no luck.

this also happen when I was talking to a sprint rep setting my epic up, it took an hour and half to get my phone updated, no bueno.

do we have prl zips for are phone? and where, if so?

and any help with the blazer rom would be great. From the little bit I messed with it, it was a very smooth and snappy rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
There are no prl zips that IM AWARE of. I'm pretty sure there are none! Idk try to see if sprint repair can find something wrong with it! Or you can try to flash a different modem. Sorry about your issues
