[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmuntz:
Ever since I upgraded from Gingerbread to ICS, I have been experiencing a really strange bug with the Browser (Chrome and Dolphin have the exact same issue). For some reason it is not rendering correctly - font is extremely small and page is off centered. When this issue occurs, all websites present this issue so it's not like a website issue.

Has anyone else had this issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Second screenshot was due your poor network/ slow internet speed ie EDGE.

To save battery I disabled 3G but I don't think it's related to this, this happens over WiFi or 3G as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmuntz:
You might be correct that the issue presents when using 3G or edge . Over wifi it seems to be working. Is this something that can be disabled? Its really annoying
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
it looks like your network provider has throttled your mobile data speed.

Test your 3G speed to confirm

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmuntz:
Good idea!

Just tried that and speed seems normal
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmuntz:
Could this be a rom or ICS specific issue? This never happened on gingerbread

Anyone else using rootbox 1.8 and having this issue?

Or perhaps its an issue with my modem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
i think that speed is very normal for 3G.

How did you install the Rom?

Please list all the steps you took

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmuntz:
So I'm still having this issue and its driving me nuts.

Yesterday I flashed three clean roms hoping that it was a rom specific issue - i even upgraded from ICS to JB thinking it could be an issue with Android and I still have this exact same issue after three clean rom installs.

The steps that I took: clean cache, clean dalvik cache, then install from zip the rom file, then another clean cache and dalvik cache (yeah, i'm a bit paranoid ;)). I even tried installing a ROM after formatting the internal SD just to be sure.

Does anyone has any idea what else can i try to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
Two words: Factory reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmuntz:
You mean the factory reset/wipe option on CWM? If so, I already did that several times with no luck.

Or is there a more effective way to do a factory reset?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
You could try going into mounts and storage and format /system for a totally new base. Also find a Kernel cleaning script and flash that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmuntz:
I did do the format /system and actually formatted all of the internal SD partitions.

I haven't tried the kernel cleaning script, but do you think it could be related? Strangest thing is I've had this bug only with ICS and JB, with Gingerbread this didn't happen...

Any other suggestions on what to try?

You could try using this tool, but be sure to read the whole 1st. post ! And start out with temp-root, to not see if it works without messing anything up.

That said, I don't know if there are any custom recoveries/ROMs available for the device in question.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingvandal:
Finally got around to installing adb and got the error device not found. Will trouble shoot and get back. So far I have to say there seems to be no reason to even root the thing. It came with no crap, system is wide open, fast all options available etc. has OS 4. there is the older version w/8in screen that may need rooting so I will get the dump to you asap.

i have the 10.1 inch irulu tablet and i noticed after running a root checker it came out of the box with root access and if you go to settings under backup and reset there is a recovery mode that can be used to update rom. As for roms though i would be extremely surprised if there are any. hope this helps

I have the irulu AL101 - been search'n for original ROM to restore

This is my first post to this forum :) I have some learning to do.

I received the iRulu 10.1 AL101 tablet for XMAS and did something stupid (clearly already rooted), I was loading apps from google play and included BusyBox in that selection. After this was installed and rebooted the tablet no longer boots.

I've cracked open the case and can take internal images of the hardware if anyone is interested.

It seems there are no recovery images if I hold the power button down and the home button during boot it come up with an android icon on its side with the cover open and red caution sign - presumably indicating a nothing to boot some hang. Also assuming I'm doing the correctly.

This has the Android 4.04 on it with the crane_al101_xx build image - there is another post with a picture of the build info.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2071266

In my searches I went to the pigpony web site. I was surprised to find this site:

http://image.pigpony.com/image/

There appears to be some images there for various tablets and some restore software. I'm just not sure if I can do anything with these.

Here are some examples of the file names (for the AL001 not the AL101)

name / size

bootlogo.bin / 751KB

ramdisk.img / 149 KB

recovery.img / 1,086 KB

system.img / 245,761 KB

uImage / 2,631 KB

There also appears to be some system restore software there as well.

Not sure if any of this is helpful the instructions on the restore software are in Chinese.

I've tried to use the ADB but the BC1003 Tablet PC is yellow bang in the device manager - any ideas here? I was considering using LiveSuit but I think the software instructions are using an external micro sdcard to restore.

Regards,

Ross

iRulu Restore Instructions

Well I finally did do a low level store following the attached instructions. The only issue is now the wireless doesnt work. Not sure if this is a HW or software problem. When you turn it on it turns off after a few seconds.

Is there any diagnostics to try?

BTW I have not been able to connect with the ADB and perform a dump in the instructions as defined earlier in the thread.

Please, does anyone have an idea how to delete/switch it off? I tried a factory reset, re-flashing the rom, wipe data, wipe cache, but none of them helped, I'm pretty desperate about it :(

I'm posting a pic about it as well to have a better imagination about it

Flash another ROM.

It's factory mode, on.

Ps: it's not about one ROM is better than another. Factory mode can be turned when you flash any ROM be it gingerbread, Android or jellybean, so far it's Samsung based.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oeps:
Hi,

I have a weird problem on my Defy+ (Quarkx 0828, kernel 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e). Provider KPN (Netherlands)

This build is working fine except for one thing.

When I am at my office location I loose the ability to receive phone calls and make phone calls after about an hour.

On the home screen it looks like there is still coverage but no calls possible.

I'm pretty sure that it has to do something with the indoor GSM transmitters we have in the building. They are GSM/GPRS only and not really new. Of course many other Android users are using these indoor GSM transmitters without a problem for years.

On other locations I do not have this behavior.

When I was at stock Android 2.3.6 on the Defy+ there was no problem at this location.

The indoor transmitters are managed by my provider (KPN) to provide a better coverage in this building. Don't know brand/type of the indoor equipment but do know they are GSM/GPRS only (dated equipment).

The circumvention I use is to set my Defy+ to 2G only and the problem is not there anymore (I gain battery life :good: but need to switch to 3g manually when away from the building to get the speed back).

I'm using baseband Central europe 3.4.2-145.

I tried a few others but got the same results:

3.4.x does not work at all for me

2.5.1 Same result, after a while no phone calls

2.3.4 Same result, after a while no phone calls

France 3.4.1-164-5 Same result, after a while no phone calls

France 3.4.2-164- after restart the phone goes to flight mode. After a while no phone calls.

What can I do to get more information about what is happening to pinpoint this problem?

Is there specific logging which I can turn on?

Is there a specific baseband which can handle frequent switches between 2G/3G better?

Other suggestions?

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meares:
Hade you tried basebandswitcher, try an older baseband like 2.34. 2g/3g works ok for me now.

Skickat från min MB526 via Tapatalk 2
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oeps:
Thanks Meares.

Unfortunately this baseband does not solve it.

I will test the other basebands (takes a while, can only do it at work where the indoor antenna's are at non-busy hours).

Will install the latest Quarks rom when it is not at the experimental level. Need my phone for work.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oeps:
Installed Quarx 0912 CM10 and the behavior is different from CM10 0828.

At work with the 2G indoor GSM coverage with my Defy+ set to 3G the phone reboots after a while (instead of just stopping to receive calls or able to make calls). After reboot a have to re-enter my sim pin code (in the past I had reboots which skipped entering the pin-code) so there are different kinds of reboots.

With 0912 CM10 set to 2G there are no reboots and everything is stable with CM10 0912.

The behavior is different from CM10 0828 but did not find anything related to 2G/3G communication in the change log.

I understand this is an exotic problem and 'document' it here in case someone else has similar experience. Do not really expect a solution as you need the be at this specific location to experience it.

Two fellow workers with a Defy+ but with stock firmware never have 3G problems (they are waiting for me to solve it first before the want CM10....)

Today also a spontaneous reboot while driving in the car while using Sygic 12.1.2. Phone was set to 2G/3G.

Thanks

[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Amen.

Now for my opinion on it all :D

Granted I haven't been on this site very long at all, but I'd been lurking and reading tons on here from early 2010-ish.

Whilst I agree with your point that this may not be the site it used to be, that's also a good thing.

It's showing progression and moving forward.

People who come to this site simply looking to make their phone "cool" and make it do what there friends' phones can't do, annoy each and every one of us at times. That's just something that we've got to deal with.

It's not as if this is the only site where people act like that. It's all based on the mentality of people in general.

There are those, who like us, don't just want to make our devices better, but want to actually learn how it's all done and what makes android, as a whole, work.

But there will always be those who don't care about the journey, as they just want to reach the destination.

And even though there are a ton of the latter around, creating a thread to say that the site's gone downhill because of these people, won't help in the slightest. And considering leaving this site just because of a few dicks? Leave them to it. They'll soon be shown the door if they consistently can't stick to the forum rules.

There's no sense in feeling like you have to leave or others have had to leave because of these people.

Obviously I'm not saying you can't voice your opinion, but there are better ways of doing it to be honest.

But having said that, I respect your opinion :cool:
[About XDA developers] Archer:
As this thread is "about xda developers", as mentioned above that would be the correct forum for this discussion so I'll move it there.
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
I completely agree with the Op...

Haven't been around long, but was always fascinated with technology and had a certain respect for those who made possible the things I thought wouldn't be possibly done...

I've heard plenty about the good ole XDA, of how devs used to work with harmony, how they worked because THEY themselves wanted to...and not because of "helppp, my wifi broke, plz fix asap"...

But my bad luck, I wasn't there to witness any of it...

Well the mods and admins know of this issue, and there's only so much one could do to solve it...

Apart from making XDA invite only, and GTFO'ing every noob already present, there seems to be no practical reason that I can think of...

There have been other rather innovative attempts at tackling this noob problem; (as that's what seems to be the root cause of this problem);

Some say we should raise the 10 post limit, some say we put tests/checks to make sure new users understand the purpose of XDA, some say we do aptitude tests to classify users as "devs" and "non devs" and some say to educate everyone already present and yet to come...

I say that we could all of this and still be left wondering what possibly could be done...

You see, part of this problem comes from human nature...

Everyone wants the most utility from the least effort...

They want the best, but aren't ready to give their best...

As smartphones become more and more common & more and more "smart", the people get lazier and dumber...

There is no possible humane approach to making people work for their own self...

You could help them out, point them in the right direction...but for every one person that you help out, there'd be 10 standing with the same problem expecting a personalized response...

I frankly found no solution to end this "I'm your boss, answer me coz you owe me" behaviour...

Seriously, many of the members here are complete a$$e$ that don't give a crap about the work devs do and just want the best for their phone. And if something doesnt work or a feature is not added yet, they start complaining and flaming devs. One of the great dev teams for my phone actually stopped development because of all the hate mail and ungrateful members who complained about their work.

[About XDA developers] Rick_1995:
I wonder why doesn't the thread owner get (limited) moderator rights in his own thread, that would make the job easy at least for development forums, In some low activity devices, we hardly see a mod ever come to clean things up so this would be lot helpful and since this power is limited to development sub forums, it probably won't be abused that much by the new guys hopefully, though i haven't thought of any draw backs in this model but it sure does sound good.
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
The mods have said before, and I don't think that their answer will change...mod rights shall not be given to any user, whether limited or unlimited...

Rd's get rights to close their own threads, while Rc's have such rights only in Rc Chat, and not anywhere else...

Idk about Rd's, but they have turned down our request for the same...

If you need thread maintainence/cleanup, the only option is to report a post, and request cleanup...

I do know that the report function has been removed from the app. In that case, it takes only moments to switch to the web view and use the report function from there.
