No phone after update

I am a newbie and I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I have no phone capability after the stock safe v5. If I use the original 2.3.3 or 2.3.6 european tmobile roms (obtained elsewhere), I have phone but slow data. With the safe stock, the phone crashes as soon as it tried to dial but data seems to be good. The indicator switches between 3g and H (whatever that means).

I will probably go CM9 but wanted to know if anyone is having problems with making or receiving phone calls. I am in the US and I used the tmobile bin as stated in the instructions.

I will keep searching the forums to see if this is addressed anywhere.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
H is hsdpa or 3.5g

You get that because you use t-mobile radio.

It doesn't allow voice call.

Flash jpz modem, you will be able to make voice call but data speed drop to edge only.

well since 4.2 is out then we should have the official 4.2 and we should have as an option to use the beta for the version after 4.2... Just like how i used windows 7 and also duel booted with windows 8 on the same laptop...

way back in the days of GB, adw was at the top, but lost its top spot due to lack of updates. But now its updated and i have to say, im impressed. Its not as smooth as nova yet, but i bet that will change in a future update since this is its first major release in forever (plus, if you install v6 supercharger script the lag dissapears). But its performance is so good i can defiantly use this over nova. I particularly like its widget picker, its different in a good way.They have an action bar feature thats new (to me anyway, dont know if theres something like it on other launchers). And theres also a resize screen option thats also neat, especially if your running paranoid android.

Unfortunatly i already found a bug. The dock dissapears into thin air at some point, and the only way to get it back is to reset adw settings. Im still investigating which option causes this bug, but i just thought i would put that out there.

Im also interested in knowing is this update enough for old users to love adw again

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Hey cool, I was always torn between adw ex and launcher pro plus (LPP was a just a bit little smoother) before I got on ICS. Judging from the comments in the play store, it looks like the update ticked a lot of people off and is somewhat buggy, but I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out promptly. Good to see it's not dead :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i was wondering the same thing, once jb came out i assumed it was dead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
yea it is buggy. the app drawer is a big laggy with any transition and the dock bar likes to vanish, but i still find it useable and i love it. I havent gotten the chance to install v6 supercharger script to see if it helps with the drawer lag (i assume it will, since it did wonders to adw on ics). And im sure it will be updated regularly now, at least i hope it does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Got the update this morning. Bought EX version a while ago. Tried it and yeah, new version is a little buggy. Hopefully they'll get it right.

I was using it on GB and JB builds up to FI03 then it got goofy. Had to switch to Nova.

Hopefully they can get it working right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:

To fix the disappearing dock just simply go into settings and disable the secondary dock or its called hidden dock I think... then you'll be good to go..however u make it disappear is beyond me but I remember having this issue in the evo

I don't see options for he second dock..installed do like it.. but

Don't see the option

Was my launcher of choice on GB and below. When ICS launchers came out I started using those but they never allowed me the amount of customization I wanted, not until recently have they finally caught up.

Now that ADW is back, it is my main launcher again. It allows me so much customization and since I change screens and setups alot it's perfect for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poetryrocksalot:
It's very buggy. Since the update my widgets keep disappearing at random times, and my settings revert back. It's frustrating.

Does anybody else prefer the icon set form the Galaxy Note? I have uploaded a screenshot of it. I actually prefer the 'phone' icon from the Note rather than from Galaxy S 3. Could someone show me a way to get these icons on my Galaxy S 3? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Jaskaran498:
IF you want to change icon only for desktop, use desktop visualizer app. Its free.

If you want to permanently change icon, say of phone app, oyu will have to edit: System/app/secphone.apk

Decompile it with apk manager, change icons and recompile it. Now change it in your phone.

Search web and you will get more info. I just gave you an idea.;)
[Windows Phone 8 General] igoen:
I just want to know from anyone who had tried WP8 if the task switch is still slow for 3rd party apps, like in WP7.5?

Especially for messaging apps like Whatsapp or Viber. In WP7.5, it is very slow to resume.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
That is because the apps are poorly written. My game has np resuming.
[Windows Phone 8 General] lovenokia:
No, messenger apps run in background, so do location apps and no aps can resume from the start screen

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 8 General] morpheuszg:
I guess this should answer the question. As you can see, the app resumes at the state where you left it. It is really nice to see that. So these damn annoying loading times (except for first loading) are now a thing from the past.

Loading times / fast app resuming
[Windows Phone 8 General] igoen:
Thanks for the answer. I will choose WP8 for my upcoming phone then.

I'm currently have WP 7.5 phone and also sick with loading times when switching apps.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
You know you can switch between apps without having to re-load them...right?
[Windows Phone 8 General] igoen:
Yes I know, using arrow button right?. But sometimes when we receive toast message (for me, mostly from whatsapp), I just press the toast message and it will launch the apps from beginning and it is very slow to show the message compare with similar condition in Android or iPhone.
[Windows Phone 8 General] tfouto:
but the app resume its only if the app is one of the 8 "multi-tasking" right? If you have an app (for instance facebook) opened on the day before without rebooting the phone and opening for instance 30 diferent apps in the between that app wont be fast right? It has to "slow load" again, right?
[Windows Phone 8 General] weepatc:
Instant app resume has to be coded into the apps by the devs for WP8 it doesn't happen automatically. A lot of the current apps do not currently support this.

Sent from my HTC Titan using Board Express
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
As I and several others have said, the app needs to be coded to support this feature.
[Windows Phone 8 General] tfouto:
yes i know that. But windows 7.5 already had instant resume. Is this new functionality only when pressing the tile again instead of going via task-switcher?
[Windows Phone 8 General] StevieBallz:
Task-Switcher is still there for all Apps. Some Apps can now be fast-resumed from the Tile. Aside from that App startup times have improved because of several things:

Faster Hardware (obviously)

Pre-Compilation of MSIL to Machine Code in the Cloud

Faster network stack (especially for Apps like Facebook that do remote calls on startup)
[Windows Phone 8 General] hixsonkevin:
Just tried this with the new FB app that is optimized for WP8. So I opened FB, and went to the home screen and then opened nearly every app on the phone and made sure that it wasn't in the "deck of cards" multitasking. I then hit the FB tile on my home screen and sure enough it opened right away to where I was at. There wasn't a "resuming" screen or anything.

So like the others have said, if the app is optimized for it (like FB) then it works without a hitch.

Though I must say even on apps not optimized the "resuming" or "loading" screen is soooo short that you barely have the time to even read it.

Overall, I have an LG Nitro HD running CM10 and I have an HTC 8x. The 8x is WAY faster opening apps and just overall speed. Not to mention battery life. ( I know, off subject :o)
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
It can be both, depending on how you code the app.

You can see the loading screen for a split second, then go right where you were if the developer so decides to. In fact, the developer can even show you po*n while it loads, so you can't really say if the app did or did not instantly load.

You can also use the task switcher.

Anyway, reload times should be fast even if you go through the loading screen. The only problem would be at first run, when the MSIL code has to be turned into machine code. After that the app should be significantly faster.
[Windows Phone 8 General] tfouto:
Well lets hope developers from now on will just start making wp8 native code apps...
[Windows Phone 8 General] StevieBallz:
Microsoft does the MSIL => JIT compilation now in the Store, so it deploys precompiled Assemblys to the phone. There are actually articles out there that explain how you can enable/disable that behavior when working with the emulator to see the difference.

Still native code will be faster and "more predictable" in it's runtime behavior, due to lots of checks not being implemented (Out of Bounds at every array access, Garbage Collection, etc.) The downside is that native apps tend to be more error prone (mainly because you can do many things the CLR would not allow for good reason).
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
You can still avoid many CLR exception checks if your code your app properly.

I don't think C++ will phase out C# as far as windows phone is concerned. C# is way more viable and stable and a few nanoseconds here and there won't be as annoying as an app crashing in the middle of your work, without any apparent reason.
[Windows Phone 8 General] tfouto:
well is it really only a few nanoseconds? IPhone 5 especially apps loading are blazing fast. WP apps are "slow" by comparisation... Maybe when all windows phones are quad-core loading times are no longer a issue, and C# its ok then...
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
Yes, it is just a few nanoseconds.

Trust me, if an app is well written, the startup time shouldn't be more than 2-3 seconds.

And if it is bad written, it doesn't matter how much C++ you use in it, it won't make any difference.
[Windows Phone 8 General] tfouto:
well on iphone5 it usually 1-2 seconds... Maybe it's a faster processor...
[Windows Phone 8 General] StevieBallz:
I'm actually very much a C# guy (I've been working with it since Microsoft brought out .Net after all) but having gone through quite a lot of material on the topic there are several use cases where C++ beats out the CLR-languages by a quite big margin. Especially if those are computation-heavy. The optimizations a regular compiler can do when compared to a JIT compiler are rather big as well. I have regularly seen C code finish the job in half the time the C# code took and it wasn't crazy optimized by the programmer (1,5s C++ on a Core2Quad vs. 2,8s C# on the same machine).

However quite often that won't affect startup times in a big way. Most Apps currently parse the XAML-code, create the UI, navigate to it and then fire off some HTTPRequests for data (the later is an area where Microsoft seems to have improved performance a lot). Still some people slow this down by loading too much data from IsolatedStorage beforehand, etc. But in the end I believe that using the Cloud compilation and the removal of JIT-compilation on the device means that we won't see too big a difference in startup-times between native and managed.

Aside from that: the only native-only Apps you can build in WP8 would be DirectX. Everything else will at least have a managed UI-Layer that calls into the native code to do the heavy lifting.

All those theoretical considerations aside: we won't be going back to the days of coding everything in native code. Microsoft cleverly allowed Windows 8 Apps to be written in HTML+JS, Managed CLR-code as well as Native Code. There are use cases where native is simply needed because of the superior performance but most Apps don't need it as they don't tax the CPU too much anyway (most Apps simply wait until the user decides to do something that doesn't take to long for them to do).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bs_inc312:
Hi,

Although I am new to posting on this site, I have used it to help me with access to z images, kernels, and other new ROMs. I have a Samsung Galaxy S II from AT&T. Originally I had my phone rooted only to use certain apps that were root access only, but wanted to flash a new ROM, a new customized Jelly Bean ROM. It worked fine except I had to use Haxsync to sync my Facebook contacts. So I decided to flash back to my stock ROM. Every time I try and flash any ROM now, I have this error. CWM no longer allows me to use the power button and select anything from the menu items including wipe cache or factory reset, as well as reboot. My wifi no longer works as well, and that is what I use to tether at home for my computer. Any help would be appreciated. I may have to reset to another stock ROM through Odin, but not sure if this would fix the issue.

Question, maybe this is a boot loader question?

I have loaded up Androwook1.3 (Great ROM), I can also restore my CM10 rom (also great) with out issue. But when I try to put the new Black Bean (Baked) ROM 6 on and it looks to load up the kernal (Asus screen with greenish blue bar) then freezes after that screen on a screen that looks just like it but with out the bar. I then can load up Androwook again with out issue or restore my CM10 with out issue. I have NV Flash done and what not to help protect my self from the big fail. But I like the looks of the inverted dark theme on my Galaxy nexus and wanted to try it on my TAB.... Any thoughts am I missing something? I do a clean install each time wipe everything but internet and external memories. If it helps i am also using TWRP recovery.
