[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes, but because you are on Samsung's 4.0.4 firmware, I'll advise you to flash either Speedmod kernel or Siyah kernel via Odin.

Download the .tar Odin version of one of the kernels and flash via Odin

Speedmod kernel: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574218

Or

Siyah kernel: www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/09/08/siyahkernel-s2-v4-1/

Dont let him worry you, the firmware itself is fine. The issue was a bug in kernel that was causing bricks after wiping data via recovery.

You simply flash a custom kernel like Siyah after flashing rom to get rid of problem.

Plenty of topics on how to root/flash roms.

[HTC Rezound] Shadowalker97:
Edit: Updated my radios, still having issues. More info in a thread below.

Hey all,

I recently started running leNoob CM9 mod, and I've noticed that my connection has bottomed out a bit. I normally would have 4-5 bars with little issue, now I'm lucky to have 1 or 2. I dropped a call earlier today, and I haven't had that happen in literal years.

Poking around I noticed there were radio versions better than what I'm currently using: (1.22.10.0421r, 1.22.10.0424r) but I'm completely unsure whether that's the problem here, or how to update them if it is.

I'm S-OFF, if that helps the solutions any.

Thanks for your time!
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
See the firmware thread in the dev section, you can update just your firmware/radios/etc and not have to run a RUU since you're s-off.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Yes, you can flash the hboot/radio combo by superchilpil, then flash a hacked hboot. Apophis has a thread with hex edited hboots.
[HTC Rezound] Shadowalker97:
I was going to make another thread for this, but hey, I saw this one I made a few days ago and it came in handy.

Since the last time I posted I did the firmware upgrade to the 2.xx radios, but that sadly did not help my issues any. My data connection will randomly drop in any situation; indoors, outdoors, whatever. I can flip my phone to airplane mode and back to restore the data connection, and it usually instantly hits 4-5 bar 4G. Unfortunately, not long after that it'll drop to 1 bar and sometimes stabilize back up to 4-5 and stay there for awhile.

Other times, it'll drop to 3G, 1x, or turn off altogether. 95% of the time it will then just stay off until I reboot the phone or hit airplane mode. The rest of the time it'll come back into 3G or more commonly 1x and stay there until it repeats the above drop process.

I've had this problem on all of the CM9 mods I've tried (currently running Rage 1.2). I've tried various network modes but I've had the greatest success of getting any signal on the LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA setting; the LTE or CDMA / LTE only ever gets 1 bar ever, and never improves.

Before CM9 on Stock ICS I had 4-5 bars anywhere in my house, and even at work (the center of a very large building) I'd still have 2-3 bars and rock solid data connection. I have not yet tried going back to Stock to see if that fixes my issues, but I'm leaning that way unless anyone has some better options here.

Thanks for your time!
[HTC Rezound] neowisdom1031:
I've also been seeing the exact same issue with my signal but since flashing the Global RUU and Rage. Previously I was on older radios and NeoMax and had high performance on the signals and battery life. Battery life has also dropped significantly since the Global RUU and Rage. :/
[HTC Rezound] Shadowalker97:
In Rage 1.2 at least, my screen-off battery life is almost bulletproof. 8 hours not on the charger and it only lost 3%. Screen-on time though is almost exactly the same as Stock, and that includes going to the Wheatley governor, sio, underclocking the CPU and cranking the screen brightness way down.

As far as the radio issue goes, somewhere in the Rage thread Neo mentioned that radios on AOSP roms atm are hit and miss; some people have no problems, some people have constant problems. Currently there's really nothing they can do about it IIRC, and we'll basically just have to wait until someone can pin down the problem. Either that or go back to a Sense based rom, to which I say, phooey!

No you can't. It asks what device you would like to install the apps on upon purchase. Its probable a good thing, who wants lots of bad ratings because their device isn't supported? Especially when you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. :) What you can do is change your build.prop to make Google Play think you have a better more widely supported device, then buy your apps. :) I won't explain how because there are literally hundreds of tutorials on these forums explaining how.

No, seeing as some devs never update their compatibility list, MANY compatible devices are left out in the cold. Or what if I plan on getting a tegra 3 device in a month, and a tegra exclusive game goes on sale now? Why can't I buy it?

My point is Google should allow people to download incompatible apps. If you do a warning pops up "This device is listed as incompatible, download at your own risk". You are also barred from rating said app, positive or negative.

This can also be enhanced by extending the ridiculously short 15min return time.

[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
I could not find this discussed for the TF700T.

Video and audio sync perfectly with the YouTube and Netflix apps. However, I'm an Amazon Prime member and watch alot of Prime Instant videos. Since there is no android app for that I'm limited to watching through a browser. I've tried Boat, the Stock browser, and ICS+. All present a significant lag of video vs. audio. Oddly, I did not have this problem with the Prime I returned for the Infinity.

Anyone else experiencing this? If you were you able to correct it, how?

Thanks

After I rooted the device I froze/disabled all the bloatware. I've tried all three performance modes with no change in the video lag.

Does anyone successfully stream Amazon Instant Videos through a browser on their Infinity?
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I just checked and i don't have noticeable sync problems. I'm running on 12 meg dsl. My understanding is you need at least 4. Meg to stream good quality. Apps like netflix go through special servers, that help with stream, browser probably doesn't. You cannot really compare. it amazes how low a bandwidth netflix can uses and still look reasonably good.

Apparently this is not a ubiquitous Infinity issue. Therefore I must conclude something is F**'d on mine.

UPDATE: Fixed?

Update: I may have found a fix for this. I was browsing the forum and under the GMAIL Crashes post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877292&page=2 I found a reference to FMR Memory Cleaner and the nvidia kernel driver bug. I installed FMR Memory cleaner and brought up the ICS+ browser. Lo and behold the video and audio are in sync with my Amazon Instant Videos!

It would be helpful if some of you who are experiencing the lag issue will test using FMR Memory Cleaner and post your results.

Thank zenaxe for the tip (I've used up my 8 per day "Thanks").
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unibrow:
I've tried FMR memory cleaner and it did nothing to alleviate the audio lag on Amazon videos, I haven't read the thread on the nvidia driver bug but when mine is crashing in a game like Dead Trigger, the ONLY thing that works for me is a complete reboot which is annoying. FMR hasn't really ever helped me with most things except if the tab is being laggy and even then it's not 100% guaranteed to work for me
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
I've had the sync problem intermittently with flash video from several sources, including Amazon. I think mobile flash is the true culprit, and wouldn't be surprised if the problem recurs for you. Every now and then I try and different browser and think it works better, but eventually, it gets out of sync again.

On the Amazon front, I think the only real solution is the Instant Video App. To my knowledge, no one has either the old gingerbread app or the new ICS app ripped from the fire roms working on other ICS+ devices. Hopefully Amazon gets around to supporting Android in general.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I also had this problem on the Xoom and over on the Motorola forum the culprit pointed to there was Adobe Flash on ICS and Jelly Bean (worked great on HC) on certain processors.

As to Amazon porting their app to Android, I wouldn't hold my breath as my guess is that they don't want to draw business away from the Fire line (I have a Fire and Prime looks great on it). Amazon's Kindle app for Android (even on the Fire) lacks functionality that the original Kindle devices support, e.g., collections. It appears that either their Android development capabilities are limited or they are making a conscious decision not to fully embrace it.

Dave

ps There is a similar thread over on the Themes & Apps Forum -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1803002 On that thread I posted some info on the flash problem that I gleaned from the Motorola Xoom forum.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
IMO, it's just a matter of time before the port hits. Fires are meant to sell content, content isn't meant to sell Fires, which aren't exactly high margin if the hardware is profitable at all.

If they were really trying to avoid drawing business away from the fire, they wouldn't have released an iPad app. Hit up their support page and complain, and I think we'll see progress eventually.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I had the amazon apk working on one of the roms on my nook tablet. Changed rom and lost program compatibility. I don't why Amazon does not have app for other androids but they are certainly making the decision not to. I'm hoping when large Fire HD comes out it will work on other devices. Its nice what Fire does for many. Pretty much everything's done in background, my wife doesn't have to do anything, streaming prime is easy.

I was watching twit and leo talked about problems with slow dns servers. Search for namebench, install on win or os. it searchers for fastest dns servers and gives a report. I know some apps use their own servers and this could be why there is a difference. Run dsl speed test, can be on tablet, before you change any thing. Run again if you make changes. If you haven't run a dsl speed test you should anyway. Search market. You may have fast connection that tablet is not seeing. Example router performance.
