[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
I'm using my Rezound on T-Mobile. You will only get EDGE (2G) since the rezound doesn't have T-Mobile's AWS band. The same with AT&T I believe (only 2G). The Rezound is already SIM unlocked all you need is a GSM ROM

Unless you live in an area where they have refarmed their 2G to 3G. AT&T has already done it in New York City (downtown). And T-Mobile in Washington State (some city there idk).

The gist of it is. For the moment on the HTC Rezound with a US GSM carrier you will only have 2G (EDGE) data connection. Until those carriers switch their 2G off and refarm it to 3G.
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
I just want to update it with ics. Try the fixes for data, sim etc that everybody else has used. I just don't know where to start.
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
Phone service works

Phone service is fine live in California 3g/4g area no dropped calls. I use WiFi for data, but want to get data from my carrier and text. Any thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
Data is just a matter of Setting the APN... While SMS is deeper in the ROM..

If you are on Stock ICS then flash this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46585775/HTC Rezound/STOCKGSMFIX.zip

Then go into your dialer *#*#4636#*#* and check under phone information that GSM is selected.

BACKUP!! BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING

Or you can just flash one of the ICS roms (GSM) that have Sense 4 so you won't get the "Invalid Sim blah blah"
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
My APN area is locked down and grayed out. How can that area be unlocked? I am currently running th and want to update to ice.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
? Even when I had Verizon the APN settings was changeable...

Why don't you just backup and flash either the Stock ICS or a custom ROM and then restore just your DATA and see if it doesn't give you any issues?
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
What do you recommend for a good back up application and where should I get the ics flashed from? I don't know why the APN is grayed out if I knew how to do a screen shot I would post it for you.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
If you are dev-unlocked or have S-OFF you can use amon ra to do a complete system backup...

But there is an app in the Play Store called ROM Toolbox Lite which lets you backup apps, bookmarks etc to your sdcard... Then all you got to do is flash a rom you want and redownload the Toolbox app from the play store and restore.
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
I downloaded the tool box lite and received a message that it failed to obtain root access. I guess that means that I am unrooted? Not quite sure what root or unroot means.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
By that I assume you do not have an unlocked bootloader? And you are as stock as you can get.

If you are 100% Stock and you want ICS.. You could update by flashing the ICS PH98IMG.zip via the bootloader.. but that will cause a factory reset with no hope of getting anything backed up.

Back when the rezound was released there was a Temp Root method but it never worked for me. If you acheive Temp Root you can run ToolBox and do an app backup.

Root = Having control of Androids System and being able to do backups/restore
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
Yes, I am out of the box as stock as you can get. The only thing I did was change GSM to get T-Mobile and then patiently waited for official ICS to come. With that said where do I start and please assume I know nothing it is just safer for the phone that way. :)
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
If you achieve Temp Root using the link i posted.. All You will gain is root privilege until the phone is powered off.

While in Temp root you should be able to create a backup of your phone to your sdcard.

So Make Sure you Have the HTC Drivers Installed

And that you have ADB installed
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
Sounds good.....here is my hand please walk me through this. Is this what I need to do to upgrade to ics?
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
:highfive:

Well technically the update should present itself to you aslong as you have an active DATA connection. Now being on T-Mobile might be whats stopping the update from coming to your rezound.

You do not need Root to update to ICS since the update is available on the internet for you to download and install it via sdcard. But you won't be able to backup anything besides what Google Backs up on it own (Contacts & App purchases).

So If you want to stay Stock and upgrade to ICS then you can go ahead and download the ICS update and install it via sdcard. Just remember you will loose everything not saved in the sdcard (internal or external won't be touched).
[HTC Rezound] msirish:
Following Up

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

I am backing up my data now. Still on stock GB. Can you tell me what I should flash to if there is a link to upgrade this to ICS since I am on

Verizon I will not get the upgrade notice and need to do a manual install. I also want to get data and SMS too. A lot of this has been since

resolved, but I am not sure which are which. Could you please, tell me so I can get this done once and for all. I feel like I am living in the stone

ages.

Thank you,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ers1983:
I have a problem recently appeared in the colors of the screen when the status bar

They look darker than others, and be clear when I open a picture of one color such as red or white

What is the reason in your opinion ?! : (

I do factory reset/wipe

This image is for illustration
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
I have the same problem, it appears to be screen-burning : apparently some pixels are getting "bleached" by displaying the same color most of the time (i.e the status bar) -although on mine the strip looks clearer and not darker like yours, but it seems to be a common problem on AMOLED screens..

At such prices, it should be supposed to last longer than a year.. :( I'll try and necociate a replacement with my carrier as mine is still under warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveinthespace:
Yes, it's a Super AMOLED plus issue, it is reduced in Samsung Galaxy III because it's only Super AMOLED.

But this is so early... and I think it's not time for it to do so, something is really wrong with your screen, you go see customer service if you are still in warranty ASAP
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ers1983:
Unfortunately there is no warranty for it :( ,I bought it two months ago :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ers1983:
How do I avoid aggravation of this problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
I'm afraid you can't avoid it, since it's linked to the screen itself. Not unless you're willing to spend a lot of dough on spare SuperAMOLED+ screens and learning how to replace one yourself.. The only thing you can do is enable autorotation on your launcher(s) and not hold your phone the same position all the time (i.e. alternate between portrait and landscape. Personally I configure my CM9 so's it authorizes 180° rotations, so I can hold my phone upside down too -very convenient when reading webpages to avoid mistakenly hitting the back button too often. :p).

[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I just noticed on Viper Rom (probably any Sense 4 Rom) that when using a good pair of ear buds that block out all sound, you can hear a hum in the background when swiping between screens and going into apps. It's almost like a touchscreen thing. Once you stop swiping and settle on a home screen it stops, but once you switch screens again the hum comes back. Anyone know or can verify this? I'm using a pair of etymotic HF2s with a really good seal, so no other noise is present.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Sorry to bump this back up, but anyone willing to test or confirm/deny? I'm going to roll back to Sense 3.6 and see if the same thing happens.
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
Can confirm
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Thanks for testing. BTW - what Rom did you test this on?
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
That could be a hardware problem to me and could be a ground issue there shouldnt be hum in the back ground of any kind
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
Im on viper S
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I went back to a nandroid of Sense 3.6 and it virtually disappeared. So it leads me to possibly think of something in Sense 4... But who knows....so many factors...kernel, base, firmware...

I still love Sense 4, but would be great if more can test.

GT- P6210

So i used Chainfires apk to check to see if i'm in danger of the hard brick bug.

And it has said I'm at risk!, so i have ICS on my tab but am too scared to use it!

What are my options?

Should i just keep on using it and keep my fingers crossed?

My Noob guess is to go back to Honeycombe?

(download honeycomb rom tar, and flash via Odin?)

Hi, thanks for replying, i had already read that first post, but it doesn't seem to have an outcome.

As for the second one is it still relevant information if it's for the N7000?

The guy is saying avoid Samsung ROM's completely, what rom should i be using then?

Lastly do you know if it's safe to do a wipe/reset from within CWM ?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
As long as you are using cm, I don't think it will be a problem. I will never go back to official. The problem stems from an issue with the stock recovery from Samsung. So in short, the devs are aware of the issue, but Samsung doesn't seem to care. As long as you are running the current cwm, and the dev isn't an idiot, you shouldn't have a problem. (No offense aorth and locerra, I know you're aware)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] wingie6200:
the thing is, if you go into recovery mode (hold power and volume up during boot) and then you see something like "recovery 3e" on the screen. THEN you have a problem.. it means you are on stock ICS with the stock Recovery and IF you do the "factory reset/wipe" in that recovery mode. your TAB is a goner..

then you get a linux system, get heimdall go to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785862

and follow all instructions untill you have a non-stock (no 3e) recovery on your tab.

then your tab (*as far as other people say) is safe. then you can wipe/flash/backup and do whatever you want with a relatively (lower) risk than before..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] riverboat2001:
Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to offer your advice.

I only have myself to blame for getting into this pickle! After Flashing so many different ROM's on loads of devices i just got a bit blaiz'e :o

Last night i did a wipe and factory reset through CWM and it all went well, so my question is, giving that i know i'm at risk, i can see three options,which is the "safest"

1/ Put tab away and don't use it until Samsung release a fix we can use

2/ Keep using the tab, but have that worrying niggle in the back of my mind

3/ Follow the post above and carry out the suggested procedure outlined above? (is it 1000% safe?

Can i assume that if i go as far as recovery mode via the ICS version to see the "recovery 3e" but don't wipe/factory reset i'm safe?

And consequently if i DON'T see that i would be safe to go ahead?

I do feel as if I'm sitting on a time-bomb here

(years ago i would have spent weeks messing around with this sort of thing, but as a middle aged housewife thats always on the go, i don't have the time, I just like to get my stuff working fast and bloatware free and i'm happy!)

Once again thanks for your input.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] wingie6200:
lol cant guarantee the 1000% safe part (since the offending code is in part coming from samsung) but people are aware of it / working to fix it and all non stock stuff is most probably safe. the CWM 6.0.1.0 definitely is, just used it myself.

and these things are kinda random (if all posts are to be believed) so i would just use the tab normally and worry about it much.. reports also say that samsung does repair these bricked tabs under warranty in case the unthinkable does happen.

and its not a time bomb :laugh:! (although there would probably be an app for that somewhere..)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
I think the issue is only with the ics 3e recovery, not the hc one. Clockwork is fine, at least the newest one, not sure about the one Gary posted
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Kuniokun:
What exactly trigger the brick bug? I already use the ICS stock recovery to do a wipe/factory reset your for my tab a couple of times and all was fine. I just was lucky? I have the second ICS update for the GT-P6210. Is this model affected? I mean, is someone with this model already trigger the brick bug?

Sorry for so many questions, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
Yeah, I did.. happened the first time
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Bad2hold:
Brickbug is caused by ****ty flashing firmware on some of our devices.

No danger with cwm 6.0.1.0 from aorth. We r safe!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] horstdepp:
I'm using CM10 (TeamChopsticks Alpha 1a) with Google Apps (jb-72612). On the email client, I can add an Exchange account and it gives me the option to push messages. But if I add a gmail account (even after deleting the Exchange), there is no option to push-- the most frequent checking is 5 mins.

Back on the stock Samsung/Skyrocket email app, I had push enabled on my Exchange account plus as many gmail accounts as I wanted. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Alexandre-P:
Hi!

Push email does not work when using a POP3 or IMAP account. You have to use an Exchange account. By default, when you add a Gmail account in the Email app, it is recognized as either an IMAP account or a POP3 account.

Fortunately, Gmail can work as an Exchange account. When you add your Gmail account -- either in the Email app or though System settings > Accounts & sync > Add account:

- First enter your email address and your password;

- Once your password has been entered, you will see the Manual Setup button becoming active. Click on it;

- Select the type of email account you want to add -- select Exchange;

- Domain\Username should be your Gmail address, Password should be already filled with your password. You will have to modify the Server string and input m.google.com. Click next;

- Now, the Automatic (Push) sync option should be available to you. :)

(I'm on CM9, though, but I guess the procedure to add a new email account has not changed a lot since then...)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaiiscool:
But wouldn't this increase the chances of data corruption if the phone suddenly shuts down or reboots?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] life.eq.null:
Well, in theory yes, in practice I've been running this on my own desktop for over a year and I lose power quiet often, I think over the past year I lost 1 file, and it happened because I was saving the file right as the power went out.

Also, I've been using Asylum v20 for over a week now, I've never had to force restart it.

If the battery runs out, the phone gracefully shuts itself down (syncs the data, umounts all partitions then shuts down properly), so there's no risk there.

I'm also working on a semi-generic way to mount /sdcard as ext4.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaiiscool:
Agreed, but I remember from my Galaxy S days about a few people complaining about data corruption from this very same tweak.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NikeSpeed:
First off, I am aware there are other threads regarding this issue but there appears to be an issue with my phone that is not mentioned in other similar threads so I am starting a new one.

I just updated one of my apps and then all of a sudden my phone keeps rebooting. Having read other threads, I figured I will go in and uninstall the app and see if that fixes it. However, whenever I even try to open something like task manager or applications in settings, it freezes and then reboots again before I even get the chance to uninstall. I was able to use titanium backup to uninstall the app but still no luck, it still reboots.

So I go into cwm recovery mode and I am just going to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, etc. since I have a backup of the rom ready. But the phone freezes and then reboots right when it begins the factory reset process.

So now what is there left to do but to download the stock ICS rom or a custom rom, whichever, and use odin to install the md5 file.

Is there anything else I should try before I attempt to just flash to stock (or custom) rom using odin?

Thanks for your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rakhan01:
Try this;

Download and flash tdj's darkside super wipe

Flash Jedi Mind Trick v3 ROM

Flash tdj's darkside cache wipe

Reboot and Wait for like 10 mins for the ROM to settle and then reboot.

And don't restore app with data in titanium. First try restoring apps only. Later on restore data for important apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NikeSpeed:
I decided just to odin back to stock. Better to work with a fresh OS again instead of restoring what was still probably a buggy rom.

I loved my Candyshell, but I wouldn't recommend it. Unless they've fixed this, the candyshell didn't last too long under normal usage. The rubber started coming apart very quickly. I got mine back in November, so maybe this isn't an issue anymore. I stopped using that one and have the otterbox commuter case on now. It's definitely more bulky, but also a lot more protected

I was going to get one of these for my Vivid, the Active version with the kickstand, but they sold out =[

I ended up with an Incipio case, and I was pleasantly surprised after trying it out alongside 3 other cases, it won hands down. It's a rubber inner core with a hard plastic shell to hold it onto the phone, with a velvety-rubbery feel on the outside. It's about half the size as the Otterbox case but coupled with a screen protector (I got matte finish) it feels just as protected. Considerable edge lift too when placing the phone face-down on surfaces. The velvety rubber surface also enters and exits my pockets with ease, and I frequently wear jeans... Not tight, but the pockets aren't huge either.

Highly recommend the Incipio case.
