[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrikHaus:
I have a question I'm hoping an expert can answer. I pretty new to the Android world so I'm trying to wrap my head around a few things..

So I bought a (prepaid/locked) S5830T from a store over here, and proceeded to unlock and upgrade to the latest

stock Gingerbread firmware (2.3.6). So now when I boot up, instead of S5830T, I get S5830. All good.

Now the phone runs fine, but I have an issue with 3G data in particular.

The "T" suffix appears to relate to the 'Telstra network' (which the phone was originally locked to).

According to this link - http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies

Telstra operates on 900Hz / 1800hz for 2G and 850hz / 2100hz for 3G.

The carrier I am on (Optus) operates on 900Hz / 1800hz for 2G and 900hz / 2100hz for 3G.

So I've flash the modem file from the Optus firmware package (Modem_S5830_XWKT3) hoping that that would enable

the 3G band that is currently not working.

(What happens ins 2G/"H" works fine, but when the phone switches to "3G" I lose all data connections)

But Alas, I still have the same problem..

So I'm wondering is there hardware in the phone that is preventing connection to the network, or do I need to find a more

appropriate Modem file that operates on the frequencies above?

Many Thanks!

BrikHaus
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApriliaM3:
Can you find the original Telstra firmware, extract the modem from that and flash it?

Can you get hold of a Telstra SIM and see if you still have the same issues?

The T doesn't necessarily signify Telstra but just a slightly different version of the S5830

It's the same with SGS2 there is a GT-i9100 and GT-i9100T (I have the T version purchased in Thailand so nothing to do with Telstra)

Because I have used this phone in Australia also, I've noticed that T modems perform better on my SGS2 than non-T versions.

I've found Optus coverage (in Melbourne) to be pathetic so I always have to ensure I'm using a T modem when I'm there.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrikHaus:
Hey, Thanks for the reply ApriliaM3.

Yeah I know the T doesn't necessarily mean Telstra, but was pretty sure it meant there was a different modem to stock (as with your SGS2).

Which is why I reverted back to stock. I thought that may have been more accommodating of all frequencies..

That's very interesting what you say regarding your T modem.

I believe I can extract the modem from my base backup, so will give that a try.

As for the Telstra sim, that might be a little harder, but I'll try the modem first and then try to get a sim.

Thanks for the info! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApriliaM3:
I get the impression that my requirement for a T modem when I'm in Melbourne has more to do with Optus and their pathetic coverage than it has to do with the modem. When I'm in Thailand, it doesn't seem to matter what modem I use... they all get good signals and I have no problem with data either. I'm also a member on Whirlpool but I rarely go there any more... still it's quite a handy and informative site for many things :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadounet91:
Hi guys!

My phone randomly goes off when the screen goes off. When I say randomly, it's more like "every time I let screen off for like 3 min it goes off". Then if I try to reboot it, sometimes it boot normally, sometimes it shut down after the kernel screen and I have to unmount/remount the battery to boot the phone.

I've been on SlimBean 3.1 for a month now, and after this problem occured, I've switched to CM10.1, but no luck.

This doesn't happen when the phone is plugged, when the screen stays on, or when an app wakelock the phone.

I've changed my battery 2 months ago, it's not an official (CameronSino 1750mAh).

Have anyone ever experienced the same issue and would know a solution?

hi i just got a htc one x factory unlocked and was wondering there is a way i can get rid of those atnt preinstall apps. im using tmobile on it and also a way i can update to jelly bean
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Does your bootloader on top says EVITA ? (The dual-core phone) then you are in the wrong forum
[HTC One X] DayDaysTech:
nope its atnt phone unlocked
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
So your bootloader says ENDEAVORU on the top....I'm asking this to be sure you are in the right place because if it is an EVITA you might brick your phone by flashing stuff from here ;)
[HTC One X] DayDaysTech:
how would i check?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Power down the phone and then hold the power button and the volume - button together until it starts and boots into the bootloader menu
[HTC One X] DayDaysTech:
it says evita pvt ship s-on rl
[HTC One X] DayDaysTech:
oh and it also says locked in pink
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
As my hunch was right, you need to go to the one x xl forum. Its the forum one above my marked HTC one x forum

Although the flashing methods may not be so different, just want you to go to the forum where you belong :)

Good luck there mate ! :thumbup:
[HTC One X] DayDaysTech:
i thought i was in the one x forum?..
[HTC One X] BenPope:
There are two "One X" phones, and they are completely different. This was a ****ing stupid idea, but there you have it.

One is based on the quad core Tegra 3, codenamed Endeavoru, the other a dual core Snapdragon, called Evita.

This forum is for Endeavoru.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linusgrau:
Hello everyone! So i got my Xperia U for christmas, and i wanted to root it, me and my friend have tried to root our xperia u's but it's not working.

We have tried bin4rys, z4root and flashtool, it goes through the process and reboots, but we still doesnt have root acces, on flashtool it says "root hack didn't work, cleaning hack files".

Our versions: android ics 4.0.4 build: 6.1.1.B.1.54

(we have installed adb drivers, but we haven't unlocked bootloader)

Thanks!

.54 isnt rootable so you have to flash back to .10 and perform root, then flash .54 again..it's all in there :good:

edit: theres a line there that says dont use on xU because the kernels provided are for xSola..you'd have to find a source for the kernels of xU, or you can just search for that in the xU section..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brickhaus:
I snapped this yesterday at the range, and as a fluke, it happened to capture the speeding bullet. I would not have thought this possible on a phone camera. This is a Ruger SR9c (9mm), 115 grain bullet traveling somewhere around 1100 feet per second, I think. I don't take many pictures so this is stock app with stock settings. Cheers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
That's pretty cool
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeeperz:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Someone's aim was a little off...looks low...lol.

Nice shot!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcasas6969:
That was amazing did you do burst or a single picture
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brickhaus:
Single shot only, don't even know how to use burst.

This is our first time shooting a pistol, we like shotguns =)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaotikdragon:
very nice! And to get that with single shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mxcoldhit:
Wow didn't know this phone could do that!

Did you like the sr9c? I conceal carry an sr9 9mm full size. Was thinking about getting the compact version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 12MaNy:
Whoa! That's cool.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcasas6969:
Whats the odds of snapping that shot in time to see the bullet in the picture
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brickhaus:
We liked it, but like I said, it was our first time shooting a pistol. The extended magazine was uncomfortable though.

NOTE: I'm being told this may just be burning gun powder, let the experts decide..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
It's burning gun powder. It's not flying forwards, but at an angle away. It's muzzle flash. Considering you can see the weapon in three stages of recoil in the image, note three images of the gun, at that range by the time that happened at this picture was taken, the bullet had already came to a halt inside the target.

I estimate that target is about 30 feet away, with your rounds, that bullet was reaching the target in about 0.027 seconds. Far, far faster then the shutter on our device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] buckeye_jeff:
Even so it is still a pretty cool shot (no pun).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compusmurf:
It's burning powder because you can see the lit up other specs of it in various other directions. Unless you're shooting tracers or you have a kicka$$ high speed cam setup, you're not going to get the bullet.

However, that being said, it doesn't take away from the fact that it's still a cool action shot that did capture the burning powder and all.

Now do the same with the shotgun!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcasas6969:
Yes the shotgun would be even better
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lil B Rules All:
This is nice timing!! Awesome shot man!

You are just keeping the tip pressed in all the time with that mod, no way to write like that.
[Galaxy Note II General] Alzheryx:
I know but this for fun only :)
[Galaxy Note II General] psycotrompus:
nor working when lying on bed

the button on the tip of the s pen serves as an action for the wacom digitizer on the screen of note2. pushing the side button of the s pen reverses the polarity of the s pen which then interpreted as another action by the wacom digitizer. this is all the concept i know. correct my if i'm wrong. thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] sansserif:
hello, I wanted to ask if it's normal that my pen writes in the air?

Re: [How To] Use S-Pen to touch from air (air touch)

No the tip of your pen must be stuck. Try playing with it and see if it frees itself or you will have to buy a new one
[Galaxy Note II General] sansserif:
Re: [How To] Use S-Pen to touch from air (air touch)

can i get the pen from ebay?

Hi

I'm on the latest TB Pro and I want to upload my backup to Box. However it keeps failing since the Sonic CD backup I have is bigger than the 250 MB limit that Box has on its files. Is there any way to get TB to skip it so that it can continue backing up my other files?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stab244:
Anyone? Even if the answer is that thus isn't possible that would be nice to know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lifehacker7:
Delete the backup of that, then upload all the backups to box, then come back and make a backup of it again. ;)

Or if you can find the backup file in the SD, move it to some other folder, then after the uploading is complete, put it back to its location.

Life!
[HTC One X+] ali_loly10:
I bought the phone from at&t but i'm in egypt now

The phone signal indicator gives me that i'm using 4G while we don't have 4G in egypt so could i change that icon

A second thing is i get pretty slow speeds on a 3G network is that someting related to bands ?

Forgot to mention that here we have UMTS 2100 band
[HTC One X+] ZeroOveride:
I believe the 4G is an indicator of HSDPA or an HSPA+ network, which is truly 3G but the U.S Carriers like to call 4G.

As for the slow speeds, make sure you have the right APN settings put in for your local carrier. Without that you may get internet, but slowly.

I've got the galaxy s3, and an old thunderbolt, I'm due to upgrade the thunderbolt soon and I was wondering what phones may be coming in the next couple of months. I also have a Nexus 7 and love it, if a new Nexus phone had Lte and an sd slot, it would be a no brainer for me but I don't know if I'll get that lucky. My gs3 is the one I carry, and the best phone I've ever owned, but I may put it on my other line if the right replacement came along. What are you guys looking forward to?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcviado:
If your going for right now you have two options the droid DNA or note 2. I would personally go for a note 2.. But if you wanna wait a couple more months you have the galaxy s4 coming out soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:
I've been thinking about waiting for the s4 but the note 2 looks pretty sweet as well. I know the DNA is supposed to be great, but I'm leary of htc because my thunderbolt has been pretty lousy, particularly when it comes to battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcviado:
Yeah I know what you mean with the whole HTC thing lol, so now it looks like its down to 2 devices the note 2 or s4.. If your like most ppl and always want the latest and greatest then I think you should wait for the s4 but if you want something right now then go for the note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Edgehood:
Wait until summer or fall.

S4 in Summer, Note 3 in fall or winter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oilfighter:
Probably an S4, IF Samsung keeps the phone dimension the same, or smaller.

Ideally, a top spec phone in the size of Motorola Razr M is perfect for me. I wish phone makers would stop trying to out-size each other.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:
I'm also holding off on the note 2 because I'm not interested in rooting the phone, and Verizon has significantly limited the amount of apps that work with multi view. My understanding is that you can't use YouTube, twitter, etc etc. Why would they lock that down? Or am I wrong?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
I'm not due until October of this year, so plenty of time for the S IV to be released and the dust to settle. I'd prefer a Motorola, though. I just like the feel of them and prefer Blur over TouchWhiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Oh my bad you want me to speculate what phone I am going to get based on rumors. I don't know when the next galaxy note or galaxy S is going be out until Samsung actually announces the phones and whatever other phone for that matter. I can't really say I am looking forward to anything that has yet to come to fruition so I can't get all gadget nerd about it. There is also a lot of under the radar development going on so I have until 6/12/14 to figure out what my next phone will be. The only sure thing is that Canonical hopes to have Ubuntu smartphones by 2014.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:
So then don't reply if you're not interested. What's the point of chiming in to a conversation that you apparently have no interest in? And as far as getting "all gadget nerd", you're scanning XDA on your weekend. "Hello pot, this is kettle... you're black."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
All I said was I am in no rush to speculate anything. I frequently come here because I enjoy this site and learning about things related to android. Also thank you for reminding me that I am black I tend to forget. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:
It's a reference to the pot calling the kettle black. I stand by my point that I was simply asking if anyone knew of any devices that maybe I hadn't considered. You literally chimed in for the sole purpose of pointing out that you had no interest in the conversation. That didn't make any sense to me, sorry if my original comment offended.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
I know what you meant about "the pot called the kettle black" I just responded in accordance to the comment. What I meant in my original post was my next upgrade isn't due until 6/12/14 so I am not thinking about my next phone. The last time I checked literally means that I am not thinking about my next phone. There is no hidden meaning in regards to my interest in your post and my humblest apologies if you thought so. You have an upgrade soon you can go with the current selection of phones or you can do what I did and went month by month until the phone you want is available. You can always Google CES 2013 as they are unveiled some smartphones not mentioned before. What am looking forward to is 2014 when I have a better assessment on what smart phones are out in my upgrade year. Also I am bed ridden from surgery there is but so much I can do for the next 3 weeks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:
Right on, I didn't think there was a hidden meaning, I simply meant that the response you provided in the above quote, would've been a much more useful response to the OP. No worries.

I'm leaning towards holding off until spring to see if the s4(or something else that's great) comes out, but I can't wait, or won't, wait much longer because the thunderbolt on my other line is infuriating after using the s3 and my Nexus 7. I've gotten spoiled. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antispiral:
If Sony comes out with their new phone on Verizon , probably that or else I will get the galaxy s4.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
My next device has to have either tegra 4, Samsung octo core chip, or snapdragon 800 chip. Most likely gs4 maybe just maybe iPhone 5s (if it supports simultaneous voice/data this time and gets untethered jailbreak) and no way I'm giving up my unlimited. Thankfully I can steal my third lines upgrade :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
I'm looking at those same options. My upgrade will be in time for Christmas 2013. I am looking at the iPhone 5s or Galaxy S IV. But that's a long time away, who knows what else will drop between now & then. Can always change my mind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jumpedapplesship:
I thought about the Note II when I got my S3.

After hearing good things about the S3 and wanting to try something other than an iPhone I picked up the S3.

Now that I am hearing about the S4 I may take a look at those when they come out.

The Note II is very appealing looking though, I am really liking the larger screens with the Samsung phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
I got the note II on T-Mobile and even tho I am returning it today, the note II is not too big once you actually have it in your hands and can put it in your pocket etc. Love the S pen and how thin the phone still is.
