I know it is a long shot, it was just a thought. The metal loading of the cover may or may not have anything to do with the reception... from what I've read the aftermarket covers do not receive as well as OEM's, so who knows.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kilou189:
if i took off back cover and dial *#4636#*#* i found the "db" became 105 and i put it back it goes normal,that means the antenna was integrated in back cover,so you can try do to it to find if the problem cause by back cover and order a new cover over the Amazon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] g2gsr:
I have had this phone since May of 2011 and I never noticed that the HTC on the back cover had the metal inlays!!!!! Wow!!!! Anyway, I don't want to pop mine out but I did the same by removing the back cover and the db's also jumped to 105 for me when I did that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Pop off your back cover and grab some tweezers or a small flat head screw driver. You'll see 4 gold prongs on the back of your phone. 2 near the camera and 2 in the bottom left corner. Gently bend those up a little bit, being careful not to break them off. Now grab a pencil with a good eraser. Look at the inside of your back cover and you will see yellow/goldish lines that line up with the prongs you just bent. Rub these lines with the eraser. Personally I would do this with my phone turned off, but that probably doesn't really matter. I suspect your reception will return to normal.

The metal letters have nothing to do with the antennas. They're located near the middle of the thinnest section of the back cover. The plastic would be thicker there if any metal or wires were running close enough for them to do anything.

I wasn't even having trouble with mine and did this and worked great. Thanks for the tip!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
I bent the tabs, I tried the foil trick, I tried up and down grading the radio, and with the cover on at my house, I'm looking at 105db. I borrowed a Verizon Samsung network extender which plugs in the wall and internet router, and when I'm within 10 feet of it, my phone registers about 70db. However, it makes my GPS location about 75 miles away!

So I'm a loss... I'm grasping at straws here trying to not give up on the Dinc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
My guess would be that a new back cover is in order then. Do you know anyone that has a Dinc2 that you could try swapping covers with?

If that doesn't work then maybe the magnet damaged your phone. Magnets can do some weird things to electronics.

[ZTE Grand X V970] MikusP:
Hi, Just got my hands on a ZTE V970 and experiencing some odd issues. The phone seems to randomly drop into an unresponsive state, one where the phone is still powered (confirmed via the notification light) but will not respond to any interaction. A battery pull seems to be the only way to reset the device.

The odd thing is that this only seems to happen on battery power, and from what I can tell only when the battery is below 85%, give or take. I've tested the device for one night and a day connected to a power supply with absolutely no problems at all. But when disconnected within an hour it will begin to randomly die.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Possibly simply a bad battery?

Thanks in advance :)

Its the UK Nvidia Tegra 2 version on ICS.
[ZTE Grand X V970] MikusP:
?

I guess I was just wondering if anyone whould know if this is a physical problem with the phone itself, or a firmware issue? I've been searching but haven't come up with much at all.
[ZTE Grand X V970] MikusP:
Music?

OK! So, I've been playing around a little more, and so far it seems if the phone is runnning on battery and I sleep the phone while playing music, it wont die...! So, any ideas whether this would be a firmware or hardware issue?
[ZTE Grand X V970] MikusP:
Swap!

Hey! Just to follow up, I returned the phone for another handset. Been using this new one for a week now and I've had no problems at all :)

I'm able to sync via Bluetooth. But I have to initiate the connection from my XDA II. Start ActiveSync in XDA II, click "Tools", select "Connect via Bluetooth". Is there a way to initiate the connection from PC ActiveSync?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] illwil:
BT ActiveSync

I don't personally think there is a way to do this unless you take remote control of your pocketpc from the pc. What I have also found is that the Bluetooth is very shaky when anything other than small data transfers are concerned e.g. if you try to surf to a web page with loads of images or you have quite a few pages in AvantGo, the BT connection will be dropped. It is far from ideal...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
I have had zero success in synching by bluetooth, all I can do is beam files to the pc via bluetooth, I also cannot browse my xda2 from the bluetooth desktop.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jargon:
You need to create a virtual serial port using the Bluetooth software on your desktop PC. Then set the Connection Settings on ActiveSync to allow connection from the serial port you just created. If your Bluetooth software has an ActiveSync profile, it will do all this for you automatically. Otherwise, you need to use the Serial Port profile.

You can browse your XDA II through ActiveSync. Just select the Explore command.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hops:
how to control the assigned com port

the bluetooth software on the desktop insists on setting the com ports as com10 or higher...I read somewhere that activesync does not recognize com port higher than 9.

I re-installed the drivers several times....and it only allows for com 10...and of course activesync does not recognize that as an available port to connect to!!

any thoughts??

setup:

Widcom 1.4.2 bluetooth driver on win XP Pro

Epox USB dongle

Activesync 3.7.1
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
I am using the same software but it always offers com3 or com4 which works fine, if you right click on the bluetooth desktop serial port profile does it not give you an choice under "properties"? I have worked out how to do most things now but I am struggling with my laptop with bt dongle trying to browse the web through sharing, I know the settings are correct but it just wont let me through, I have a full network access running and can access files etc but no internet on laptop. :?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Hi,

With HD screen and a bit weak GPU some games don't run as smooth as they could on Xperia S. Is it possible to reduce resolution on 800x480 (not the actual screen but game itself) so it would run better?

Of course it would not look sharp as it could but it would increase performance and maybe lower device heating and battery usage.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] soldiers33:
if small apps work I wouldnt see why normal apps wouldnt but might be hard to do.

The dual-core processor seems to be too slow to run games smoothly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
My Xperia mini pro is 1 Ghz and only have 1 core processor,but it can play any HD game smoothly...so,obviously with our new 2012 device (2 core and 1.5 Ghz),we can play game smoothly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
I don't know which game are you talking about but I can play any game with 0 lag. And as the above guy has said, even on my mini I could play any game quite smoothly.

BTW, wrong section.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheSidiO:
No you cant change the resolution. And i dont see any problem playing any game with my Xperia S. Maybe you got too much apps running.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I am using SlimBean and when I play game called Vector it runs too slow OC helped a little bit but still way too slow.

Rather weird considering that Vector is 2D game (parkour).

I have plenty of RAM and other apps run smoothly. I don't play anything else.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jhodax:
So that's a problem related to the game, it migh not handle good the resources. But reduce the resolution could be great for decrease the battery usage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
I have played the same game on OpenSEMC, and it had the lag you're mentioning. I think it has something to do with the fact that the phone has to process two "ragdolls" (the protagonist and its chaser). When, by means of power ups, you manage to get rid of the chaser for a while, the game runs considerably faster.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
So, conclution is that Vector has some not-so-good optimized CPU usage and its physics engine requires some serious power (I9300 runs this game perfectly).

Thank you for your answers folks, still though it is shame that it is not possible to lower resolution, even just for the sake of lower battery consumption and/or less heating.

reinstall WMDC or try another microUSB cable.

Try to connect usb when in bootloader mode.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
also you didn't say in what mode the phone is in, , , it requires the stripey screen bootloader for task29, not the magldr screen (a common mistake)

also also, ''Qualcomm CDMA Tech'' is most often seen when the phone is bricked (such as a tmous that has had a non tmous radio flashed.)

is the phone working ok? does it say 'usb' in bootloader (stripey screen) when you connect the usb?
[HD2 General] WotWhere:
i havent tried reinstalling WMDC, will do that

the Phone is in Bootloader mode, tricolor screen, the Radio and HSPL are mentioned at the top of this post,

am not sure.. is there any way to find out.?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buelligan.ge:
Hi, I had local mobile phone shop (since then gone out of business) try to unlock my Atrix 4G when I first bought it. They couldn't find an appropriate code but 'rooted' my phone for free (Superuser installed)! At the time my phone was on Froyo, but some months later upgraded to Gingerbread and successfully unlocked. I have since tried to install a few apps that require a rooted phone but the apps say that my phone is NOT rooted and will not install . I have also tried to install a few apps which will not install as they tell me that my phone IS rooted . I have also tried root checkers, again these tell me that my phone is NOT rooted.

Is this because 'superuser' is still installed on my phone and that the apps sees this?

How do I remove superuser or get round this issue as another phone emporium tells me (over the phone) that factory resetting will almost certainly brick the phone?

P. S. I have tried to search for clues in the forums but being uninitiated in phone hacking terms, I can't seem to find anything related.

Regards, Gareth.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
I guess it's possible that some (poorly written) apps consider the phone rooted if there is the Superuser app installed. I'm also guessing the phone got unrooted when you upgraded to GB. I'd trust the root checker apps - if they say you're not rooted, that means you're not (at least not properly). So since you're not rooted, there is probably no way to remove the Superuser app.

I think your best bet is to root the phone yourself. The preinstall method is fairly easy and works on all known phone variants and software versions so it's pretty safe. There are some automatic rooting tools too.

Also, either you misunderstood something (or didn't explain it to them right), or they don't know what they're talking about. Factory reset can't ever brick the phone. I've never heard of such a case, ever.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_A_y:
i never saw apps that will not install because of root %)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] alevineman:
The CyanogenMod team has recently created CM10.1 nightlies for the Nook Tablet. Let's take a look at it.

At first sight it looks pretty good, and looks very clean (ditto). There is no gapps preinstalled (also ditto), so you need to flash the latest gapps ROM. This is official CM10.1, so nothing has been removed. After flashing gapps, you have to go through a brief setup process, and you're ready to go. This is a nightly build, but if reflashing a ROM every single day and losing all of your data is what disturbs you, think again; CM10/10.1 has a built-in updater tool, which is available in Settings<About tablet<CyanogenMod updates. I flashed this ROM yesterday, and today there was a new nightly (ditto), and I went into the updater, flashed the new update, and it simply was like an android upgrade when it booted after flashing the ROM from the tool. NOTE: To use the tool, you need CWM/TWRP. This does not work with other recoveries. For me, I don't even know why they call this ROM nightly. It is running perfectly stable for me. If you are on unofficial CM10, and want 4.2, but are disturbed by the alpha CM10.1s, you might want to check this out because for me, under my terms, it should at least be deemed RC. Already. If you are running another kind of CM10.1 (unofficial), you might also want to check this out because it is official, after all. If you are already running some other kind of 4.2 which you are happy with (like PA or PAC-man), you may or may not want to check this out. The new interface does have the pie launcher, due to CMs recent decision to include it, so if you are running PA simply for that, you might want to check this out.

UPDATE: Looks like the CM team has build a new RC2 at this point (which I am running of course). It eliminates basically all of the bugs I described earlier, and is much more stable than other 4.2.2 ROMs I have looked at (I have not looked at Xylon, Liquid, Carbon, or Slim however) (I have looked at PAC and Ubuntu) (Tried to flash Slim once but failed something about /tmp/sideload.zip, I reset to factory). The only problem I have had with it is that initially the Play Store didn't work (same with 20130518 nightly). I think it was the fact that I dirty reflash ROM updates. Wiping fixed it. Also, I occasionally see freezes or delays. But still, more stable than others, and I am in high anticipation for stable :D

Recommendations: If you are on anything, check this ROM out. Flash it. Just flash it already. It's awesome. I recommend this ROM over anything xD.

Have you tried a different clock app? Or, changed governor settings? What happens if you use setcpu (app from play store) and forced min to say 200. What make you think it's a deep sleep issue? Are you using better battery stats app to see what's happening?

Or better yet, what have/haven't you tried?

Please forgive me, but I have to ask before it drives me nut;What are you "ditto"-ing? Is this in reply to something else that I've missed? Sorry to ask, but I find myself completely fixated on those "dittos". Yeah, crazy, (and osessive!) I know, but I'd hate to lose out on some vital info around the beloved NT! :laugh:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmcnab:
This ROM MAY NOT have the problem of WIFI radio staying ON during sleep.

My particular NT has problems using CPUtuner ( a way to trigger to turn off WIFI when the screen goes out, or if the NT goes to sleep): CPUTuner disables the radio, but leaves WIFI set as ON, like the built-in wifi sleep management.

I now use AutomateIT, which turns WIFI off, rather than turning off the radio. This works well for me. So then deep sleep works.

The problem with this, as I just got reminded, is that anything downloading (with the browser, or like magazines in Zinio... STOP or FAIL when the screen goes out.)

I just put on 041613 nightly, and the Nook disconnects from the AP when it sleeps.

I'll have to see about power usage, but it looks good.

(nope, lost 10-12% overnight.... back to turning WIFI off with a service)

This ROM also seems to default to landscape. Mine has 0 degree as Landscape. 'Power widget' auto-orientation off/on is not working for me.

I had to run Fix Permissions and/or cache format in CWM 6.0.3 (what I already had loaded. I did not load the recovery in the first post. I don't know what version it is) to fix a mediascanner error at boot with this ROM.

Zinio won't connect to it's servers with this ROM.

WPA2 connections sometimes fail and need retries to get connected.

The good is that this ROM feels great, so I'm sticking with it. Most responsive I've used so far (although 'bout the same as 2/6 AOSP ROM).
