[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holangjai:
hey peeps.. i bought a xperia x8 from asia and it had an unknown baseband. After updating to gb through companion it gave me a baseband. Phone works before and after update. I was just wondering why was it unknown before. whats the diff. I can still flash?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlewe:
LOL, are you trolling? x8 never had gb.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:QueNNch:.:
LOL bro, I think you are mistaken if u think you upgraded to 2.3.7 through PCC (i hope that's an X8)....You might be only at 2.1

Now about the baseband~

Your X8 is actually a computer with a GSM modem attached to it. So there is the Operating System for the computer half of the phone and the Baseband is like the OS for the Modem half. Get it?

When people have a "locked" phone its baseband is limited to certain cards only and when it is hacked to allow all the cards, we call it unlocking.

I hope you are now clear with the thing ^_^

Happy 2 help!

I forgot to charge my charge my phone up before I tried to flash my ROM. Now I'm stck in AP Flashboot mode. It says:

Battery Low

Cannot Program

Transfer Mode:

USB Connected

What do I need to do? I have tried recharging it but it won't charge back up. A white light comes on the led notification light when I press the power button and it takes it out of AP mode.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
1. Find someone with a bionic that will let you charge your battery in their phone.

2. Go to verizon and see if they can charge your phone using one of their Bionics or an external charger.

3. Buy an extra battery (they usually come with enough charge to restore your phone).

4. Buy an external battery charger.

5.Buy a motorola factory flash cable. This type of cable has a different pin out and has the +5v on pin 1 which bypasses the battery and powers the device directly even without a battery inserted at all. here is a link... http://shop.teamblackhat.info/

It's the same label of the cheapo batteries/charger I've used for my n7000 and mytouch 4g.

They're nothing to get excited about, but for the price, you can't complain.

The shipping takes FOREVER though, so I'd suggest ordering immediately if you want them.

You'll still probably get your phone long before you get the batteries.

3100 mah battery or not, some games just eat your battery.

Anybody purchased this item from ebay? The quote is taken from the ebay listing link posted by the OP. Just be careful when ordering from ebay. I'm sure its probably just a typo from the seller, but ya never know which item he means to ship. :eek:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] b4d5h0t:
The ebay url youve put there is not for batteries for the note II. The note II takes a 3100mah battery your url is for 1980mah batteries but I have seen some on ebay that are for the note II. I had ebay replacement batteries and charger for my note and I have no complaints. I will be buying some later today or tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Noodles-21:
I ordered some from the same seller but with UK charger 2x 3500mAh Battery + UK Wall Charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II 32GB GT N7100

Ordered on Monday and dispatched Tuesday. Estimated delivery within 11-23 working days.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
Got them in the mail - typical hong kong shipping of 2 weeks.

They are exactly the same nature as the Note 1 batteries of similar look/brand.

They don't hold nearly as much charge as the stock battery. But bang/buck, they do quite well.

After gaming for a while (several hours) I was actually startled to see a low battery warning.

That isn't so much of a slam on these batteries, as it is a compliment to the OEM battery.

I think having these batteries as backups is perfectly fine. I'd still use the OEM as a daily driver though.

any opinions ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaxReality:
Hong Kong should call their auction site fakeBay. Bought several camera batteries in the past and well its clear they just stick an extra zero on whatever capacity they have. E.g.5000 mAh battery for note2 is really 500mAh.

Save ya pennies and buy from a reliable source.

Edit- nearly forgot, 1000 mAh AAA batteries for cordless phone held less charge than the knackered 500 mAh that came with the phones. BTA i think they were. Woeful.

I have just seen this article on the Verge.com 'Remote wipe attack not limited to Samsung phones, Android dialer may be to blame'. Basically there is an issue in the dialier where o website could put a string in to wipe your device automatically.

The Verge also have a test to see if your device is vulnerable to attack and if it is, the website will open up your dialer and show you your imei number, which happens with the ONE S.

Test here.

Full Article Here.

The test is just to show if the phone has the issue, it does not wipe anything. All info from the Verge.com.

Didn't wipe mine
[HTC One S] dc211:
The link he put up didn't contain the wipe code? So I'm gonna call BS.

On a side note if you know someone with an S3 you can skip all this remote wipe crap and just trick them into dialing this number.

Instead of wipe it uses a different ussd code and presents your IMEI number.

[HTC One S] jacakowal:
Guys!

Don't worry to much because of this issue.

The Samsung code factory reset code: *2767*3855# is not working on HTC phones. Also HTC seems to doesn't have any factory rested codes. The Show IMEI code is working as well as some other but non of them is really dangerous as the Samsung one.
[HTC EVO 3D] maurimauri29:
I just tested this with a harmless test page with my GSM 3D EVO, and, using the stock browser, the USSD code was executed immediately without asking for confirmation (in this case the test page only used the USSD code for IMEI number, so no big deal). I am using one of the popular ICS+Sense based ROMS from the GSM section, but this will probably affect all the ROMs derived from the official HTC ICS update.

Not too concerned because I use Chrome (which is not affected by the exploit), but this is one more reason to wait anxiously for CM10 to be ready.:laugh:
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I ran the test link on this page on my CDMA Evo 3D and it doesn't seem to be affected, but I'm using the default browser from MeanROM ICS 2.6 which is different from the stock ICS browser. My impression from reading a couple articles on this exploit is that it only affects GSM phones.

Just ran the exploit with the default browser in SOS 2.6.1 and it works. Strange since it's based on Mean.

It seems that even if our Evo 3d shows up the IMEI code when visiting one of the many test pages, we are quite safe from the really harmful codes.

See here for a more detailed explanation.

I tested the factory reset code from the dialer (after a Nandroid backup, of course!!!) and it does not execute on my phone. :good:

I obviously have the Sprint S2, and I continue to have issues staying connected to my home wifi. I have no problems connecting to other wifi networks. It will connect, then after a few minutes, it disconnects, even though it shows I'm still connected in my notification bar. I've searched high and low. It seems many other people are having the same issue, but no one seems to have a fix. Anyone here know of a solution? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
Need more info. What ROM what kernel what modem. Also what kind of WiFi router setup.

I have never had WiFi issues with this phone ever.

I'm on an ea4500 at home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shultz11588:
Could it be your router
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thejvicari:
I'm thinking it might be the router because I've not had problems with any other networks. I just ask because I've noticed that other people have had the same issues with this phone. Here's a screenie of what I'm running. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thejvicari:
So I finally figured out what the issue was. A lot of mobile devices have a hard time connecting to highly secured networks such as wpa2. If you have a wpa, or wpa2 protected router, you can only use numbered passwords. Up to 10 characters. I tried this, and it's the only solution I found. If that still doesn't work, change your wpa2 security to wpa, with a numbered password only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I use wpa2+aes without issue with complex keys. don't downgrade security...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Try changing the channel on the router, force it to a different frequency B or G only also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
if you have to use numbers and only 10 chars, it sounds like a router config issue. sounds like you have WEP on rather than WPAx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sergio74:
Wifi busted

I actually have the same issue. Wifi worked flawlessly on gb. On ics every time phone goes to sleep it drops, notification says connected. Toggle wifi off and back on works, phone sleep back off. Tried wifi never, only when plugged in. Switched to 2.4 ghz only tried 5 ghz , too. Linksys ea4500 wpa2/aes(setting) brand new. None of the numerous other devices in the house have any issues. Speeds seem awesome.

Tried factory reset nothing works. Even got sprint to get me a new phone, still no solution other than going back to el29. Currently, running fi03 stock rooted. Scared to try latest fi25. Any other suggestions would be great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
still sounds like a router compatibility issue. See if it happens on a different wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sergio74:
The only way i can successfully stay connected is if there is no security or wep is used. Same router nothing had changed. Again worked flawlessly with EL29 update comes to FF18 and it no longer works. Sprint has said it is a known issue with ics on samsung and htc but no fix. Don't want to give up my security just to use wifi. If i roll back to gb everything works again without changing anything in the router. So i don't believe that is it. Plus, i know all about router settings not a noob. I beleive it to be something in the phone update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
My wife runs fully stock newest release and its fine. Try a different router. routers can have compatibility issues with devices. Also you say "its a known issue" but can you give a source?

I'm not saying its router settings. I'm saying it can be a compatibility issue between router and phone chipset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lastfreedom:
I was having this issue on fi03 and fi25. Tried different modems, kernels, routers with no improvement. Downloaded WiFi keep alive from the market and use workaround #1 and it hasn't been an issue. Doesn't answer the question but it does solve the problem. Hope it helps. Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sergio74:
I guess i should've mentioned there are 2 of the same phone in the house. Wifi works fine on the other device. Source? As in sprint tech support told me over the phone it was a known issue with samsung and htc devices, not all are affected. This is why sprint decided to replace my old non working phone for the new one.

Not sure why of it were truly a setting inside the router why would one work but not the other? Seems highly improbable to me, just saying. I do appreciate the feedback though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
So two of the same phones. One connects and one doesn't. Interesting. About the tech, seems a pretty wide declaration of an issue. :) samsung and htc phones. lol. There are a ton of those and its a 'known issue'. If it were a known issue, they would have it tied to a specific phone and wouldn't say 'well err um some phones work and some dont'. lol. Anyway, I don't usually trust those techs.

Back to the issue. If one works and one doesn't... Then it sounds software or still compatibility type issue.

Have you tried these things? If it were me, this what i'd try....

1) I'd reflash your phone's ROM fresh and try again. Full wipe. It's possible the update boinked your wpa_supplicant settings.

2) DHCP: stick a static IP on your android and see what happens. (dont confuse this with a static dhcp lease) DHCP does some interesting things on android phones as far as wakelocks and such.

3) In the router, turn off all the bell and whistle crap... Some of these routers have things like 'afterburner' and things like that. It can cause issues at times. Keep track of what you turn off and obviously if it don't work, turn it back on again.

EDIT:

This is interesting as well. Your not the only one. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847889&page=4

Try the things I posted but ultimately, you may need to just flash a different ROM version... Doesn't mean you need to go all the way back to EL26. At least you know its not only you...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thejvicari:
So I initially called Centurylink, and they told me to change security settings. I did this, and it worked for a short period, but then dropped again. I couldn't figure out why this kept happening, and it had become quite frustrating. Then I realized that I had created a new network with a personalized name and password. My laptops connect fine to that network, but my phone won't, so I connected to the initial network created by Centurylink, and have had no issues. So I can suggest trying that as well. Hope that helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] COmark:
Same issue for me too, since moving from gb. Running S:D710.10 S.FI27

I see this on both of the WIFI networks I connect with regularly. Home is worse. Every other device at home, including phones, PCs, TVs, tablets: mine and guests, can connect and stay connected just fine. My Epic 4g with ICS can't stay connected to save it's life.

Set up both home networks using WPA/WPA2-PSK and no issues. Did have issues at work with WEP so perhaps that's the offending solution? If so try TKIP instead.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] In_da_buff:
Well, I've been working on this for a few days now and it's not the security. I switched from WPA2, WPA to WEP to no security. Same thing in each setting, wifi times out in like 5 minutes of inactivity. I've switched the radio mode (no ghz settings I could find) from 802.11b/g/n with the same results except on 802.11n - my older laptop won't find the signal and on 802.11b - my connection speedtests at about half of my normal download speed on the laptop and my phone. I can't be sure when this started because I updated to the latest version of BluKuban 1.0.5.1 w/ the FB15 modem the same week I upgrade my internet service to a IPV6 modem - ActionTec C1000a (CenturyLink 20 mbps VDSL). It didn't happen with the previous version running the FB21 modem. I even switched back to FB21 modem and wifi still times out. I haven't reflashed the backup but that will be my next step. If that works, then I know it's something with the ROM or the phone modem, not my new wifi. I'll update here after I reflash and test the connection.

Hope this helps for some.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I'll wager its the actiontec. they suck monkey nuts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] In_da_buff:
Well, it wasn't the Actiontec internet modem. It was the phone modem. I flashed back to FB21 but was still having the issue.- until I reset the security to WPA-WPA2, with 802.11g/b/n radio mode - no more disconnecting of the wifi after 5 minutes or so of inactivity. When I first flashed back to the FB21, I hadn't reset the modem settings. So in conclusion, the FB15 modem update to BluKuban seems to be the reason on why my wifi connection wouldn't stay connected.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I actually realized I was getting some disconnects... I had just upgraded my modem to FI27... I now went back to my prior modem which is FI03. We'll see. no disconnects for 24 hours.
