[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fp252:
Hey all,

I've had my Galaxy S II GT-i9100M for a bit more than two months now. It's been on ICS 4.0.3 since the first day I got it, and is unrooted.

Wifi was working fine the first month or so that I've had it. However, in the last month, while trying to connect to my university's networks from the wifi settings screen, it will display "connecting" for a long time, then change to "saved", without successfully connecting to the network. Odd thing is, if I turn the wifi on and off repeatedly, it may connect eventually, with around a 5-15% success rate each try. However, there's also a relatively high chance it will automatically disconnect itself within a few minutes.

The school has three main wifi networks: one is unsecured, while two are secured with exactly the same authentication methods (PEAP + MSCHAPv2) and takes the same login credentials. All three have the same problem when I try connecting. It's not a problem with signal strength, either, since my friends nearby can connect using their phone or laptop without any problems.

Here's what I've already tried to do to fix this:

Asked the school's IT helpdesk

Forget both secured networks so the phone can autoconnect to the unsecured one

Tried wifi diagnostic tools, such as Wifi Analyzer and Wifi Fixer, and tried changing to a better channel

Deselected "back up my data" in the Back Up and Reset settings screen, deleting existing wifi settings from Google's servers

Connect using a static IP address rather than DHCP. Either it has the same Connecting->Saved issue, or says something about "avoided a poor connection"

Did a factory reset, including wiping all user data

The wifi has no problems connecting to my home wireless network, and to most, though not all, other public networks I've tried (same problem as above if it doesn't work).

On a somewhat different note: there are two networks (each of which I've only connected to once at most) that are permanently saved on the list of access points; there's actually no way to forget/delete the network. They even survived the hard resets, and are listed before I link the phone to my Google account. Could this be related to the main issue above?

Is there a fix for this issue? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePlasticBling:
Hello. Can I get some suggestions for the fastest ROM and kernel combination for the fascinate? I have looked all over Google but honestly couldn't find anything relatively new. I want something that can handle a decent overclock, is stable, and is very fast so I can play games with no lag. Any suggestions? I honestly would rather GB over ICS but if getting ICS is what it takes to get maximum speed, then I will go for it. But I would appreciate GB Rom and kernel combinations and ICS ROM and kernel combinations along with some pros and cons of each. That would be great. Thank you!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
CM7 and 9 are pretty fast. I'd stay away from JB for now, as it is surprisingly slow. MIUI has good looks and speed but gets literally HALF the battery life CM9 does. The only kernel in town for CM7 is Glitch, witch is a good one. For ICS you have a choice between Devil Kernel and IcyGlitch. Devil has more features and is my preferred kernel, especially since IcyGlitch as the buggy TWRP recovery.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reidandkat:
I like aokp m6 with the devil kernel. very fast and stable
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrahamdev:
IMO, the best ICS rom :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dadstar:
Honestly, Helly Bean ROM version 20120807 isn't slow at all. It supports a 1.4GHz overclock and runs 4.1.1. Unlike other ROMs, HB uses /datadata partition to make things quick and smooth. However, no kernel uses /datadata, so the stock kernel has to be used. But i love it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theorogelio:
I have experienced better battery life on MIUI for my HD2 than CM7 or CM9.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePlasticBling:
Thank you. I think I will try the AOKP ROM. I'm using CM7 as of now with the Glitch kernel but the battery life isn't that great and it's as slow as turtle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JCreazy:
I am going to be buying a GSM Galaxy Nexus in the not so distant future, I was looking at Hyperion batteries and I came along this. In the titles it says "Google Galaxy Nexus" but in the description it says it will only work with the Verizon and Sprint version and not the international version. Am I correct in assuming that the Google version and international version are different? Does anyone know for sure? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
the GSM version is different than the Verizon and Sprint models so they wouldnt work. the international is the same as the one sold in the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nburnes:
The Verizon and Sprint are the same (rather really really close). The "Google version" is the international version and this battery will not work with it.

^damn typed this out and forgot about it haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JCreazy:
Ok, thanks for the replies. It is a little confusing since on the page it does say it works with the Google Galaxy Nexus but not the International version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wily5150:
I just bought this tablet, and the 300 for my wife. Well,I also bought the creative d200 speaker. I can't pair either tablet with the speaker. This is the only reason I bought the speaker. Has anyone else had this problem? If as anyone has a fix for me, please let me know. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
I just got my HTC One X yesterday (AT&T version) and my wifi signal SUCKS unless I am right by the router. It is also extremely slow. Connection also drops sometimes.

The weird thing is, I get perfect connection anywhere in the house on my iPod.

If anyone can recommend anything to help this, please let me know. I'm tempted to return it because of this crap.

(Upgraded from the HTC Aria, didn't have any wifi problems on that phone either)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] uetfreak:
HOX has some wifi issues all over the world. You better get it replaced.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
I thought that was only for the international or tegra devices?

Problems like yours are not widespread. You got a bum phone. Return it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
I already took it back to the store and they tried to connect it to their wifi, nothing. So a new one will be here Monday, I was just checking if anyone knew a way to fix it. Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
Hi guys, I'm a bit frustrated with MAC as I can't flash roms using this crap. I have a PC but don't have access to it at the moment so I'm stuck with MAC OSX(will be stuck using mac for a looong time) and have no choice.

So I've downloaded heimdall a few weeks ago and haven't been able to use it as MAC cannot detect the phone when I put it in download mode and plug it in.

I have no USB drivers installed so i think that's why. I can't find any installers

for MAC.

In the meantime I am using mobile odin to flash all the roms and it's working good so far. I need to learn how to use heimdall on MAC in case my phone gets soft bricked or ends up in boot loop and will have no access to mobile odin. Right now what I do is to restore a NAND backup to revive my phone in case the above mentioned happens.

I don't want to use the NAND restore as much as possible because of the hardbrick(MMC_CAP_ERASE) bug fiasco on ICS kernels.

So if anyone can direct me to a tutorial somewhere or if someone could post a quick tutorial here on how they did it on a MAC that would end my frustration.

Someone suggested to use bootcamp to dual boot MAC and windows but that would require a lot of setup on my end, that would be my last resort

Oh and BTW my phone is a Galaxy Note N-7000 don't even know if its supported/compatible with heimdall
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
This is a complementary guide to [Guide] How to compile and install CM10 for Samsung i9000

Want to add support for another filesystem to the CM10 kernel?

Add a module?

Maybe slim things a bit by removing some stuff?

All fine, but where to start?

Since CM9, the kernel source code should be integrated with CM's source code.

So, if you are building CM10, you should already have a kernel folder in the source code.

So, where's the config file used to build the i9000 kernel?

Well, it's here: ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/aries/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_galaxysmtd_defconfig

You can edit the file directly in a text editor (if you know what you're doing) and it looks something like this:

CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA=y
# CONFIG_SWAP is not set
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y
CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y
CONFIG_CGROUPS=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT=y
CONFIG_RESOURCE_COUNTERS=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="source/usr/galaxysmtd_initramfs.list"
...

You can just edit the text file, but sometimes it's not that easy to find/do what you want because the labels aren't very user-friendly.

It's easy to make several types of mistakes.

... but there is a better way to do it, using the menuconfig tool.

To use menuconfig, just do:

cd ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/aries
make menuconfig

You should now have a text GUI to access all the options that is much easier and safer to use:

Now you need to load the i9000 configuration file.

Select "Load an Alternate Configuration File" at the bottom of the menu

Point to the i9000 default kernel config file: arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_galaxysmtd_defconfig

After you hit OK, you'll open the i9000 config file. Make the changes you want and exit. You'll be asked if you want to save the changes.

NOTE: I've had some issues with make menuconfig producing "strange" files.

Do:

grep CONFIG_USB_G_ANDROID kernel/samsung/aries/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_galaxysmtd_defconfig

and confirm the result is:

CONFIG_USB_G_ANDROID=y

If it's not, menuconfig "missbehaved".

(There's a backup of the original config in kernel/samsung/aries/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_galaxysmtd_defconfig.old)​

Final step: Tidy things up:

cd ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/aries
make mrproper

That's it.

Build away.

(Don't forget to do a "make installclean" and cleaning things up before building)

USB

EDIT: This comment is now obsolete.

--------------

NOTE: While everything builds nicely and is functional, somehow the USB support seems to be gone in the builds produced. Charging still works but ADB and Storage don't.

There's something missing.

If you know what it is, drop a line.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Did you enable/disable things in the config file? It is not as easy to change things by just changing the config file, often the underlying source code also needs to be changed if you want to enable certain features...

Did you somehow add fast charge support?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Just made simple tests enabling simple features, like enabling btrfs filesystem support.

At first I was enabling stuff like swap and zRam, but then thought about what you are saying and went for simple tests.

Just enabling btrfs filesystem support, triggers the behaviour.

I think any change may do it.

Maybe just saving the config file in menuconfig does it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I often change stuff in defconfig, but I always do it for code I added to the source. Never had a problem with USB after that. So in principle, it should work...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Make menuconfig + make mrproper are making a mess.

diff -d <(sort kernel/samsung/aries/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_galaxysmtd_defconfig.old) <(sort kernel/samsung/aries/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_galaxysmtd_defconfig)|grep CONFIG_USB_G_ANDROID

< CONFIG_USB_G_ANDROID=y
> # CONFIG_USB_G_ANDROID is not set

WTF?

Back to hand-editing the config file, I guess...

Edit: Just tried it again, starting from the original config, and it's not happening this time... Building now.

Maybe I did something dumb before? (happens a lot)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
That is the way you learn quickest: by making mistake. I tell this to my students everyday when the ruin experiments :)

Nice howto, thanks. Have one question. I want to build kernel for ypg1, really similar device to i9000. So what to do next when I have zImage and modules. I mean have only kernel source and toolchain without whole Android sources. I need to make installable pkg but don't know how.

I'm looking for step by step how to build kernel, build recovery etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
I think there are a few how-to's on that in the cm wiki.

I've not looked much into it, sorry.

Guess you'll only have to sync the kernel sources + device specific trees and only build the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
You could take a look at my github (github.com/kasperhettinga). I use a kernel building script (developed by stratosk) that does not require the whole source code of cm10 but will build a flashable zip using a separate ramdisk (also originating from the work of stratosk).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] incarnation95:
hey man i ve been trying to compile the kernel for my galaxy s2 and downloaded all the things recomended from the cyanogenmod github :)

these are the steps that i follow:

1. cd into my kernel root directory.

2. make cyanogenmod_i9100g_defconfig

3. make menuconfig

4. make -j5

after a few seconds i get this error

do you know how to tackle this problem?

please help i am really in a mess due to this.

previously i compiled a stock kernel, in stock kernel the compillation process went very good but it didnt boot :(

i really want to make this aosp kernel, and this is the only guide which indicates compilling an aosp kernel :)

hope you could sort out my problem.

thanks in advance :) :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] msri3here:
These steps should resolve it

1. open the .config file that is created after you do make cyanogenmod_i9100g_defconfig

2. check the path of the file i9100g_initramfs.list and gen_initramfs_list.sh

3. edit the .config file to make sure the actual path matches to that in the .config file.

4. make -j5

5. Enjoy the new kernel !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] incarnation95:
2. CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="source/usr/i9100g_initramfs.list" (THIS WAS THERE BY DEFAULT)

I MADE IT CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="~/home/incarnation95/cm10kernel/t1/usr/i9100g_initramfs.list"

as the location was.

i dont think we really have to define the path of gen_initramfs_list.sh or do we? and if yes then where?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] msri3here:
There you have the problem...remove the "source/" from the path in the .config file

This path is defined by default and just needs customization for our device...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
samsung fix is not rue fix but workaround, that stops the emmc cap erase command. Which means you will always be at risk when using programming that could send command.

Currently it is prevented in modified kernels, Samsung will do same for stock kernels. Which means it not truely fixed on emmc firmware level, where the true bug resides.

It also means, that for future kernel versions, if they dont mess up versioning and release control it can reappear, something that is very like to happen.

It also means for past kernels it will never be fixed.

I cant believe how many people cannot grap the notion that a fix is where bug happens it is fixed. Now its like putting a wall around a hole, just because you cant reach it, it is not fixed. just go over the wall,or forget to rewall and you will fall. We have seen it with a kernel before, past versions command was not there, suddenly out of the blue, it was. Mark my words of caution, we will see it again. So always tread weary.

Yes we can be happy at least something is done.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
for already broken ones it indeed will not fix it, as the "fix" will prevent it from happening in 99.99% of cases.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
I'm still quite happy with the lte, I just thought I'd get this question out of the way. Hoping the X+ doesn't turn into the new S3 in regards to "tell me what to do" threads, where we see a new thread with the same question every day. It's always the same answer. Wait for launch, try them both, see which one you like better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Too little info on the One X+ carrier wise & too late in the Flagship rush for the XDA user.

My 2 cent.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
It'll perform better in CPU intensive apps, yes. But HTC doesn't really have much that they can do in regards to camera, screen, battery, and build size. It'll probably be very similar if not identical to the One X, but with the quad core S4. With the release of Jelly Bean, having such a powerful CPU isn't all that necessary unless you plan on doing heavy gaming on your phone. And when it comes down to gaming, the GPU is also very important.

Assuming it's just a One X with an upgraded CPU and GPU, I would say just stick with the LTE. You're never going to have the best of the best, because there will always be something bigger looming on ahead. If you wait for the One X+ there will be another, more powerful phone that we hear about right after it.

tl;dr: If you have an upgrade now, get LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
i believe its actually using a tegra 3 (like the international verion) clocked at 1.7ghz. Most likely it will come out for tmobile, as the + in one x+ is for HPSA+.

Personally i would recommend the one x+ solely because it is branded as part of HTCs flagship line, and therefore will probably get updates before the evo lte. Other than that, as far as specs and performance, the phones will be about equal. Its more of a personal preference type thing.

cheers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
The Evo is also an HTC flagship line. The reason we don't get updates as fast as the One series is probably because we are a much more limited audience than the user base of the One phones; they're available all over the world. I'm also quite sure that even if Sprint doesn't slow the update down, they still have some rules that need to be followed that require an extra amount of effort from HTC. It's not that we don't get updated first because we are getting forgotten about, it's just that we are the smallest group.

I would rather get Jelly Bean faster than some borked OTA or 4.0.4 update that causes more issues than it fixes.
