[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoKnows?:
Did a backup and factory reset. Added ROM CM10.1-20139110, gapps JB42-20121227, and Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip in that order and still got the two unable to mount data or cache. Reran factory reset and wipe system and ran the convert zip first. It worked without the unable to mounts showing up. I then flashed the ROM and gapps. Restored my apps through TB and all appears well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
If you run the convert script first the ROM zip will install without the mod. The mount error sounds like you have an old recovery. What are you using?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoKnows?:
I had CWM 5.0.2.0 and upgraded to TWRP 2.3.3.0. It took two tries to get TWRP to install.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Both recoveries should work with the mod. Can you do me a favor and grab /cache/recovery/log or /cache/recovery/last_log if log doesn't exist? TWRP has a copy log to sdcard in advanced I think which should copy the log. Grab the log after re-creating the error. I'm curious of the full error message.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoKnows?:
Okay. I've attached the current recovery.log. In the terminal app you thoughtfully added, I ran su > mount | grep /data, the first line had /data ext4, the second /data/data yaffs2, so like you said, the ROM zip will install without the mod. I see that there is a new ROM. I will again do a factory reset, system wipe and install the new 0117 ROM, the 1227JB42 gapps, and the Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v.2.0.zip through TWRP, one after the other. If the same unable to mount errors display, I'll send another log.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
If you restore or wipe cache you'll lose the log so you have to pull it before you restore or wipe cache. Terminal is part of CM. I didn't add it myself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoKnows?:
Well everything worked this time, go figure. The only difference between the last factory reset, system wipe, flash and this is I used the latest ROM 0117 and I wiped it twice before hand. Must have been the way I was holding my mouth. :) Thanks for all your work. I know I appreciate it and am learning something new. Make it a great day!

Hello

Im so sorry if this has been asked, but i need a clear answer as I couldn't find any clear answers. Anyways, My dad would like to use his rogers i727r with mobilicity. However, he wants to update it to official ICS, so I was looking for a good radio/modem to enable aws/t-mobile network frequency to use it on stock ICS. I found the blaze 4g lb7 ics radio, is that any good? would it work properly with stock ICS?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
I think I heard the blaze works, you could also use T-mobile tellus modem which works great: http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksideroms/files/RADIOS/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Thanks for the quick reply, I just have one more question, which one has better reception? the blaze modem or the telus modem that you included?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
You'll have to test yourself, it's location based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Reception varies based on location, so there is no simple one is better than the other answer. Try them both out and see which works better for you. I know you were hoping for a direct answer, but when it comes to radios there just isn't one.

Edit: I need to type faster :P

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] citydog5:
OP: I'm using my i727r on mobilicity w/ Blaze LB7 radio with CM9. CWM flashing the radio.zip package alone will not work unless /system is formatted prior. I had to use the following steps to test out each radio; otherwise, no network will be detected after upgrade. You can try but keep this in mind if flashing radio alone does not work for you. I tried telus and t-mo radios also but Blaze gave me slightly better indoor reception which w/ mobilicity means either you receive calls or not and download speed was twice as fast at ~1Mbps vs half that rate w/ the other radios. UL is always less than 50kbps for me with any of the mentioned radios.

My steps of testing out each radio are:

1) format /system

2) flash radio.zip

3) flash ROM

4) boot system to make sure radio register properly on Mobilicity network

5) flash gapps

6) re-adding my google account
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Hi

thanks a lot for all the details. I managed to convince my dad to keep Gingerbread for now, so I rooted his LTE, installed CWM, and then flashed the SGH-T989 VK1 modem. However, I didn't format /system, as I want to keep the stock ROM. After it booted, the phone didn't detect any network, but that was fixed after I did a network operator search.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
You shouldn't need to format system each time you flash a radio. Sometimes you may have to flash 2-3 times for it to stick but for me every radio I flashed only needed 1 try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Yeah formatting /system didn't make much sense to me, unless I'm going to flash a new ROM. Thanks for your help everyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Krakozawr:
If this radio will work with SKY ICS rom?thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Radios are phone+base depended, every radio that works on our phone on ICS will work on any ICS based rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] citydog5:
OP: Good to know that radio upgrade is working for you without having to format /system. So, what kind of UL/DL rates are you able to get with VK1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
I haven't tested the speeds yet, but average signal strength is not very stable, when my gnex has 1 bar, the s2 lte has 0 bars, or the same (depending on the location). I've read a couple of threads on xda, and some of them say I need to flash a different kernel to get optimum signal strength, is this the case with my S2 LTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Try the tellus radio, also I don't kernel effects the signal. And if you don't need the lte you could try setting it to use hspa and it may improve you signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Thats good to know, because I don't like messing with kernels, just like to keep it stock. I will try what you tols me and report back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] citydog5:
I see what's going on now with regards to /system. The radio files that are not working without /system format are the ones that come with RIL files under /system/lib. The ones that are patched with only the radio .bin files can be flashed without having to format /system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] memzinla:
Hi I've tried flashing different radio files, but it's not updating. Where can I find a patched radio file with only .bin files? I'm a noob. I just got my first Android phone, and I've been searching but haven't found much. :/

Ok I think I used one that was modified, and now it doesn't get any signal and the modem and IMEI are unknown. :/ I'm going to go back to stock. :/

I have the i777 unlocked, and I'm using it with T-Mobile. What radio should I try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
I highly doubt the i777 can be converted to t-mobile modems, since it has the exinos in it, so i recommend you restore it to default
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Ok I just ran into crap. My friend has the same phone as my dad, and he wanted me to make it work with wind mobile, and wanted to upgrade, so I upgraded to ics via kies, flashed blaze modem, and put his wind sim card in, and it picked it up, however, connection was verry crappy. when I rebooted the phone it didn't pick the signal anymore. So I followed this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30579738#post30579738 and it somewhat works, but it takes waaay too long for the phone to dial a number (stays in"dialing" for like 15-20 seconds then the other phone rings), and 90% of the time when I call the phone itself, it tells me unavailable, despite the phone being connected to the network. I just re-did everything in that tutorial and flashed the telus LE4 instead, and its still the same problem: takes too long for the i727 to dial ( actaully a bit faster), and when I try to call the i727, i get a message saying "the person you are trying to reach is unavailable, please try again later" about 4 times out of 5. please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Dial *#2263# and try different frequencies until you find a stable one, if that wont help I have no clue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Thanks for the tip. That worked for a bit, but stopped working after a while/wont work almost all the time. However, when I popped in my mobilicity sim card, it worked like a charm, and I rebooted the phone like 3 times, still worked, whereas with the wind sim if it started working and I rebooted the phone after a bit, it doesnt work anymore (it connects to their network with 4 bars, but doesnt call or receive calls).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Are you sure the sim is active? After I changed provider I tested the old sim, I had great signal but of course nothing else worked.

Also you tried every single frequency? pick one give it a minute or two to settle, if you get bars try calling voice mail or something if it doesn't try the next one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Yeah the sim is active, I put it in my galaxy nexus and it works. I didn't try every single frequency, I just tested wcdma 1700 and wcdma all because wind is 1700 and it didn't make much sense to try the other ones. Anyways I gave the phone back to my friend, but if anybody knows the problem or has any suggestions, PLEASE post them here, I'm extremely curious about the cause of that issue.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Oh lol, skyrocket does not support 1700 frequency.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
wtf really? Isn't tmobile on 1700 frequency? What about mobilicity? My dad's skyrocket is running perfect on mobilicity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
As I read tmobile phones must have support for both 1700 and 2100. Maybe only one is enough, I'm on a whole different country so I don't really know. Maybe wind supports only 1700 and that's why it didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmajd:
Yeah I did some research and it says Wind uses umts 1700, but it has to have another band so it can send and receive, and not only one send or receive. Anyway, thanks a lot for all the help, I've never been to a forum with people that eager to help lol
[Milestone 2 General] OhJeez:
Hello,

I have a Motorola A953 UK version, with CM7.2 Nightly Endless7 ROM (CyanogenMod-72-111120.2013-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-ICS-v1.0 by Endless7). I had no problems with battery level (except it seldom reaching 100% when charged, stuck at 99%), until recently I tried to calibrate it with Battery Calibration app by Marosige which was included with the ROM. It did threw some messages at me, when I told it to calibrate the battery. Unfortunately, the messages were in Chinese, so excuse me for not transliterating them here. No success with calibration. After using the app my phone after booting up claims to have 50% battery (no matter how high was the level it reported when turned off), which quickly falls to 1% and stays at that level for 10+ hours (probably could work longer, I didn't let it run out of electricity. I was out of patience)

Then, I've tried other calibrating approach as described in following links:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11803458 (could not manage to boot up phone with battery taken out)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978090

The second link resulted that the phone after being turned off and plugged to charger:

- charged to 100%

- after battery being taken out and put in again reported 50%

- charge level raised from 50% to 72% in about 8 hours and stayed at that level for next 8 hours

- after phone being switched on, reported level quickly fell from 49% to 1%, reported voltage > 4.1V

Atm, after 5 hours of work on battery, reported voltage: 3.87 V, battery state: good. Battery didn't go hotter than usual at any moment.

In the meantime, I removed the aforementioned calibration app included with the ROM, in hope that reinstalling it from Play Store will result in messages being in more comprehensible language. Unfortunately, now Play Store claims that attempting to install that app back is "incompatible update" (rough translation). App link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration

I did search for the problem, both with build in search engine, and with google. If I missed a thread about it somewhere, sorry. Really. I hate creating account for asking for support. I would even more, if it turned out the solution is already somewhere out there, in the interwebs.

So I guess, help? Please?
[Milestone 2 General] OhJeez:
Solved. I took a strip of insulating tape, and covered the two middle contacts on the battery. Booted phone, [!] icon show instead of battery level, reported temperature -40C. Turned phone off, removed insulation, booted up, reported charge - 99%. Looks good so far.

Thanks for your help.
[Milestone 2 General] moamoa:
Can you please explain a little about how did you get to this process?

If I understood correctly, you blocked the io pins from the battery, which are responsible to give the SO info about battery levels.

This forced the SO to "recalibrate"? Maybe erase the battery stats?

Thanks
[Milestone 2 General] OhJeez:
First of all, I learned that batterystats.bin is a red herring and has nothing to do with displayed charge level. That means that the problem is either cooked battery or battery-phone communication. Then, I found a thread on a similar issue by some hardly-literate guy. The solution that more or less worked for him, was insulating the i/o port on battery, so the phone thinks it is a different specimen or something. Then I tried it myself.

While the phone is back to reporting "sane" battery levels, the battery took unexpectedly short time to discharge (a few hours to go from 100% to 12%). At the moment, phone has been charging for about 12 hours and got only up to 64%. I would put my bet that is is either because of the "forced reset" or the battery is no good anymore (it had spent some time in a cheap external charger. Out of juice while trying to bootstrap a new ROM, oops). Only time will tell, I guess.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alendstrong:
hello :cyclops:

i have the arc s lt18i.

in the beginning i flash the official sony ics release and i compare it to the samsung galaxy s1 - i9000 with custom rom (run ics).

the result is that the galaxy s1 much faster and smoother then the arc s. all the menus are much faster and the youtube app much much smoother. - the arc s is laggy and dont smooth in youtube app when i move from comments section to "other videos" section,when i scrolling in the "comment" section or "other videios" section.

i think thatthe official rom is the problem so i flashed ics jj hybrid rom.

now the phone is fast but not like the samsung galaxy s1 :crying:

the ypuyube app is very lag when i play a clip and navigate in the "comments" section, which in galaxy s1 is smooth!

as much as i know the arc s have a 1.4ghz and better specs :eek:

so what is the problem? is the samsung galaxy s1 is really better then the arc s?

thanks! :good:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spidermoon:
I think Sony mess up with ICS firmware. The phone was great and game friendly with GB, with official ICS it's laggy and don't play many games. I'm with a locked bl based on the 431 firmware.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techno-np:
Unlock your bootloader , flash a custom kernel , flash a custom ROM ... Then you will see how fast it can perform...

I don't want to unlocked bootloader and lost warranty and drm right :( And i don't think that putting a custom kernel made such a difference. But why Sony can't simply release a good rom is beyond my understanding. Why with GB i have no problem to play Angry birds and Asphalt 6 and when i upgrade to ICS, i must sometime reboot to play Angry bird because of touchscreen problem and can't play Asphalt 6 because of lack of usable memory. Maybe it's Google fault too, with ICS to big for 2011 smartphone, or bad Sony rom, but the result is here, unhappy customer, who are think twice before buying a sony phone in the future :(

If you are not satisfied with ICS then just downgrade to GB... Simple as that...

If you're primary concern is updates and dev support, nothing beats a Nexus device. Definitely go with the Nexus 7.

Iconia A510 and A700 are both really quiet in terms of development right now. There's slightly more action over at the Asus TF300 and TF700 forums. Combing them together though, and I believe Nexus 7 development can still top them all.
