Speed verifications

Using Speedtest.net on my laptop to San Jose SmugMug server I get 22.56

using Speedtest.net on my Phone to the same server I get 5.187

This is from the exact same location (sacramento) using the exact same router.

So it is interesting that the phone does not match the laptop over wireless.

Not an issue, just an observation since others were asking.

using v3.0

Update:

Okay, Confession time: I didn't clear everything before upgrading, so just to see what would happen, I cleared everything and

re installed the rom. And before restoring or reloading everything, I tested to the same server and got:::

19.6 soooo, I guess this means something :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] accracker:
Home button worked correctly after removing the modules. Im a flashaholic and I have to say this rom is by far the best all the way around!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Sho, any GPS related mod or tuning is missing in v3.0, apps like runtastic or nike+ running loses gps and keeps on searching for gps but not v2.6 that locks gps and holds well. TIA.

I need more info.....phone type.....exact way you do full wipe....

Then I will help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Full wipe in recovery from front to back (cache dalvik factory).

SGH-S959g (straight talk i777- and I assure you it it's an i777)

Full wipe goes like this:

1) wipe cache

2) wipe dalvik

3) factory data/rest

5) flash rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] samprocat:

This happens all the time to my phone too. But it's older. I think it's an issue with the phone. BTw I just updated to latest version... as usual flawless.. clean wipe and fresh install and it's on the money as usual... thanks Sho :thumbup::cool:

Nothing was changed on GPS. Same settings as 2.6 and I get a lock in 8 seconds indoors which holds no problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
It's a known thing which normally happens when the cpu/gpu were under high load bringing the battery voltage down so when it reboots out reads low but if it idles, you will see it climb. Just reboot plugged in and you will be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Thanks for clarification.Yes, gps locks well on Maps, but when used in apps as I mentioned, it keeps on losing and trying to get locked, may be a very isolated problem, but I restored 2.6 and apps worked without losing gps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
A reboot fixed mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
What app I'll try it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gorgy76:
I have been on paranoid for 7 months and everything is good but the last 2 days, which I have been hit by the infamous battery drain from alarm manager wakelock according to bbs, it was maybe triggered by some rogue app. My lowest cpu speed was stuck at 600 mhz so no doubt even on standby my phones battery last only 5 hours, while before even with wifi on and it only drains 1% per hour on standby. It was so sudden and since the rom seems becoming more boring to me just like eating ice cream with the same flavor over and over again I decided to move on and never tried to troubleshoot the problem and flashed this awesomeness from shoman:good::D. I have been on shostock before but it is still on ICS time.

Everything is going smoothly after flashing. Speed and battery life is topnotch except in my case for the gps which takes sometime to lock if it locks at all and the wifi signal acquisition seems weak, bluetooth is working good and I don't experienced anything unusual as other member stated except for the one I mentioned above. I have tried clearing cache, dalvik and fixing permissions several times to no avail. So back to UCLE5 modem and bam....gps lock within seconds even indoors and wifi strenght is now good. Have flashed aj kernel also as I like more control on my cpu and gpu clocks and the touch recovery. Thanks sho for the continuing support and great effort imparted to this community.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ALLDAT:
Thanks sho everything running fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Thanks for the kind words!

I think it's coincidence (and more likely the reboot) about the modem. Wifi IS NOT controlled by the modem either.... IMO ,since I have no proof, GPS is not controlled by modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AcmeWidgets:
My phone is the SGS2 ATT I777

I used the instructions given by SHO at the first post of the thread except I already had my efs backed up. I wiped from CWM.

When flashing SHOstock3; I rebooted and it would just go back to CWM. I rebooted several times and it would only go to CWM. It was the newer CWM version 6. At the bottom of the CWM page It read E:signature verification failed.

After rebooting a few more times and playing around with the "mounts" and toggling the verfication in CWM to no avail; I reverted back to stock.

I tried the whole process of reflashing SHOstock3 all over again only to have the same problem.

I next tried the latest SHOstock2. It flashed and booted with no problem.

I then tried to go from SHOstock2 to SHOstock3. Same Problem as before. I reverted back to SHOstock2 with a fresh wipe. (I wiped EVERY time I flashed) I even tried wiping the Dalvik cache a time or two.

I even tried to add the Jeboo kernel that comes with the latest SHOstock3 within SHOstock2. (I did use Jivy's kernel cleaning script) Had the same problem when flashing SHOstock3. Also, to note; when using Jeboo's kernel on SHOstock2, SHOstock ran very sluggish.

When do certain functions within CWM I get the: E:can't open /cache/recovery/log error.

Also to note I've tried flashing using both in internal SD card and the External SD card.

I guess I'm trying to say; I've done several different combination of things. But I followed SHO's instructions first.

Forgot to mention: yes I did re-download the SHOstock3 zip more than once in case the download was corrupted.

---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Holy Schnikeys! E-gad! Zoinks!!!!

I redownloaded and reflashed for the heck of it! I was getting some problems with SHOstock2 and things were deteriorating! I thought "what the hey?"

Guess what!?! I NOW HAVE SHOstock3!!!! I don't know what was different?

This was about the 20th time I did this (or some variation as I was trying everything.)

YES!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] samprocat:
BRAVO....now you will get hooked.....once you try this rom there will be hard to find anything this good .....

For using CWM there is thread made by MrCook for using full wipe and light wipe....

If you going over AOKP or Cyno roms all leave junk in recovery partrition that need to be clean to make nice and clean install

Learn also for what is used FIX permission........

And for Shoman94.....I wanna say keep up good work you are good at what you do....I will make donations soon...

This rom is now my full daily rider ........

when i try to use the polaris office, i get a watermark in the middle of the screen, which cant be removed. that doesnt happen when i use other apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I haven't been using it so I never noticed it. Apparently they don't support this model but they do the i9100 and for me to try to make it work would involve me saying this is an i9100 or hacking the app to allow this model and I don't wanna do either, so I will remove this one. I will include the Kingsoft office suite or I can just remove it totally and people can choose what they want from the play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dominuce00:
+1 to Kingsoft.

Btw anyone having the GPS lock issue able to fix it? I have used GPS Test app to help but it didn't work. Been looking up other ways to fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsbrohan:
Try using gps status from the market and use entropys method for getting a cold gps lock then reboot. That helped mine a lot and now I get a decent gps lock with seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dominuce00:
I have used GPS Status with no luck. Will try Entropy's method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveO390:
+1 for Kingsoft
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NegativeSpace:
Did you clear maps data, boot to CWM, wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions then reboot? That's what I've always done (3.0 is the first version where the gps has worked for me out of the box).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AcmeWidgets:
Luckily I have not. When I got the phone, 1 1/2 years ago and before I found this forum; I almost installed it from the Android Market. (As it was called then.)

I read the reviews and enough negative reviews and warnings were in the reviews to steer me away. But on Androidcentral; at the time they advised people to use it. Their instructions for rooting are not well written.

I didn't think to use this website/forum because I would use this site 4 or 5 years ago for my then Windows Mobile phone. I hadn't realized how much this site had grown!

But all is well and I'm loving SHOstock3. I had SHOstock2 for a day and 3 is much better! Everything is working great except I'm working on a low volume on bluetooth fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
For those who use swipe keyboard, do you get a lot of wakelocks from it? Overnight it wakes my phone up 20+ times at least. Sometimes more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dominuce00:
I didn't clear map data. I unchecked all options location related, boot to CWM and did cache/dalvik wipe, reboot, check only GPS location and reboot. All seems good now. In the future will try your solution as well. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
Anyone have their Drive Mode/Voice talk go bonkers lol? Mine starting this afternoon went nuts, on off on off on off, I couldn't even click anything it was saying as it kept doing it so randomly and quickly. Reflashed 3.0 though and seems fine now, weird lol.

Oh yeh 3.0 fixed the GPS glitch I was having previously where I couldn't use Nav/GPS unless the phone was restarted, it would never connect to GPS otherwise. Works now, and very fast locking I might add.

Thanks again Sho!

Is there anyway to keep the data on when the screen is off? Right now pandora is basically unusable because data goes out when the screen is off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
You must be running some apps to turn off data when screen is off. B default data should remain on even when screen is off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
I have uninstalled any non-essential apps that run in the background. I have very few apps running in the background. And the only thing that I can think of that would turn data off is Juice Defender which I don't have installed.

After having SHOstock for about a week, the phone has started randomly restarting (over 5 times today in the past 3 hours).

There have aldo been times where to lockscreen takes forever to laod. I would click the side button and it would seem that the phone randomly turned off. After holding it for a few seconds the lock screen finally loads.

I have noticed the phone randomly reboots moments after opening an app (facebook, twitter, opening phone book, etc).

Any thoughts?

I already cleared the cach and it still happens...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
The first thing I would do is verify the md5 after you transfer it to the phone and reflash it. If that doesn't work then you'll have to try a wipe and flash.

Did you restore anything from a backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
I did not restore anything. I did a complete factory resset on my phone (it was acting up quite a bit) and basically started froms cratch.

I am not sure what you mean by verifying the md5, this is what i did leading up to instalation of this ROM:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
Yeh I checked that 1st actually lol, as searching online saw that was a complaint with GSIII users who didn't know.

I'm going to try re-downloading the zip again (maybe one on my computer is corrupted somehow), and maybe try AJ's kernal (1.52?) and see what happens. Otherwise V3 rocks, def fixed the GPS issue I was having before where it wouldn't lock unless rebooted, now it locks in like seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Something is obviously messed up. As far as I know you are the only person with this issue here.... so if a re-flash doesn't work after verifying md5 then I would wipe it and start over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I know... I saw your post....

The issues you are having is not the ROM. Something either did not install right, or the download is corrupted or something just went haywire or your phone just hates this ROM.

If you google md5 hash, you should find the info you need, but basically it verifies bit for bit that the file is whole and complete just like it is on my PC before I zipped it up and uploaded it to the server. The md5 number is posted in the OP.

Attached is the md5 program I use on my PC (CHANGE .TXT TO .EXE BEFORE USING). You can use root file explorers like Solid Explorer to verify it on your phone.
