i havent had any of those having to hardreset since

i removed spd plus (not the newest version)

and claunch

suppose it could just be a coincident

but i'm not installing those 2 programs again :)

well i also removed some of the phm software at that time come to think of it
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dmjames:
OK guys, I am going to give it a go, will uninstall my GPRS monitor and spb pocket plus v 2, and see what happens, will let you know.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] drj:
Well the best way would be a hard reset and then NOT install the apps but it is some work to do that. Hope that the uninstall does uninstall everything most do not.

Let us know...good luck.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rayan:
Hello folks,

I have the exact same problem descrived above. And I use SBP's Pocket Plus, but honestly I think it has nothing to do with this problem since I hard reset my MDA2 and use it with factory defaults, no applications installed but eventually the problem came back! :evil:

It's really weird...

Let us know if somebody manages to reproduce the problem, since It occurs at random intervals.

Best regards,

Rayan

hmm ... i upgraded to 1.72 today ... within hours, it froze and sort of reseted itself and got stuck at the imate screen. Did soft reset and still stuck at the same screen, turned off xda and turned on again .. .same result. So had to do a hard reset ... luckily i restored everything within min with sprite backup.

Something interesting though, when I turned off device and pulled out battery, the screen still displated half of the imate screen ... i guess its eating off the backup battery ...

Anyway ... hope someone comes up with a fix soon ... otherwise its gonna b a pain if this keeps happening.

hehe

mine jus played up on me again yesterday. AGAIN while playing with phonedashboad but anyhow, i dont like this rom, prob gonna downgrade to 1.66 or 1.6
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dmjames:
Well I am now 9 days on since I did a voluntary hard reset after experiencing 2 forced hard resets in 4 days with ROM 1.72 (all mmy favourite apps running including Spb Pocket Plus, GPRS monitor and others). I decidied to hard reset, start witha clean system, installed only PI, Fitaly and Sprite backup, 9 days now of trouble free i-mate usage. I am now installing apps one at a time to see what happens, stared with Hudson mobile phone dashboard, so far 2 day and all s well.

I am starting to form the opinion that my problems were down to running to many today plug ins, as i used to run all of the following :

Spb Pocket Plus v2.

Spb GPRS Monitor

Husdon Mobile Phone Dashboard

Kitara Genesis

I am a little more happier with the radio version, though i must admit i am cautious about staying too long in zones of bad or no reception.

As dherreo mentions, if you have to be a long while in a no reception zone, may be better to switch the radio off. I have my i-mate forward calls to my pager so i don't miss any incoming calls.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] yuhaohuang:
dmjames

Try playing around with phonedashboard such as puttin in the M2M numbers and fiddling around wiht the settings for a while. It doesnt happen everytime, but both my forced hard-resets have been during setting phonedashboard.

I havent installed spb software cos there were some speculation about conflicts with the new rom.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] lummac:
Well well well,

i had a very unstable and finally within about 36 hours after installing that Spb software it came to a hard reset.

now i read about it, i can finally see what it was that caused the hard reset.

I had been thinking and thinking what I installed that caused my mda to crash. but now i know it Spb Software or it has a very high probability chance
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] azbro:
Hmm..did any of you notice the blue LED light lite when the system frooze.

My did 2 times, in three days at nearly the same time!..mine is Rom1.66..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] yuhaohuang:
1.66 was very stable for me besides the battery drain and slight slowness compared to 1.72 ... beside that, it neva froze once....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ronald2oo2:
no hang-ups

I am using 1.72 for a week now -with Spb (!)- and it works stable

My device information is :

ROM Version: 1.72.00WWE

ROM date: 03/15/04

Radio Version: 1.14.00

Protocol version: 1337.24

ExtROM version: 1.72.126

Spb pocket plus 2.00 build 1184

Spb GPRS monitor 2.12 build 306

It seems for me there is no problem with 1.72 and Spb software.

I did however remove the "3_networkname.CAB" from the ExtROM, because I never see this before (and I don't have an i-mate). Could this be the difference?

I do have some strange problem with Alturion BT GPS serial connection since 1.66 (but not from start). All indications on the BT GPS suggest that there is a good BT connection and satelites are found but Alturion is claiming there is no GPS available. Later I installed TT3 and this had no problem with the BT GPS connection.

Probably this has nothing to do with 1.72 (or 1.66) but with the ****ty drivers from Alturion.

4G LTE has finally rolled out in Brazil.

To start though they are using what they call a 4G LTE 2.5Ghz network until their 700 network comes on in another year (or two).

This network is finally available and if I am going to purchase a new S4, I want to make sure that this new S4 will work on their network. Currently the 3g I use gets (as per speedtest.net) download speeds of 0.25mbps and upload speeds the same 0.25mbps. Yes, absolutely horrible. I cannot watch and streaming video, my slingbox app, any TV whatsoever unless I am connected to wi-fi. Absolute crap (I am currently using my ATT Galaxy S3)

I have done my research, it seems the international version does not support 4g at all and that the ATT/T-Mobile specific phones, if unlocked, do not have the specific frequency of 2.5.

So, does anyone know of a specific S4 that does work with their network?

Here is a link to their site with the info I am talking about.

http://www.tim.com.br/rj/atendimento/perguntas-frequentes/cobertura-e-roaming/4g

its in Portuguese so I did a translation on the specific question/answer specifying what I am talking about.

5. Do I need to change the device to use 4G?

You need to know if your device is compatible with the 4G technology in Brazil, which is currently operated at the frequency 2.5 GHz. See our website to check the devices prepared to use the 4G connection.

Of course, their website does not have a list of devices! I called them, they had no clue to what I meant.

So, can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Anyone????

thanks.

I was wondering if there's a modified Touchwiz for the note 2? Like adding additional rows/icons, hiding the dock icons, and re-sizing widgets.

hi am new to galaxy note 2,,

hi some questions..

1. can i perform hard reset by using this code *2767*3855#?? i am asking cause my frnd who uses galaxy note N700 bricked his mobile by using this code... so can i use this code??

2. are there any other host other then hotfile to download stock roms/? coz its too much big to download stock rom of 1 gb without resuming/?? so is there any other host site for stock roms?

3. can i use usb jig to make counter to zero??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
1.here on note2 wiping is no issue and you can factory reset without worrying but again i doubt code you have mentioned working on note2 or not, here you have to care not to use any stock ROM released before 2013. one more difference, factory reset on note2 also wipes int SD card.

2. In general No, i have post few prerooted ROM on other host, check my signature for prerooted ROM

3.No
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasu1:
ok ,, i got everthing.. just confirming can i use factory rest easily from mobile setting without any issue??

and i didn't understand what you said 'not to use any stock ROM released before 2013" means i can't use any firmware older then 2013?? like the first firmware which was released in sept 2012 in india to flash my mobile in case i have problem or want to flash again??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
-You can factory reset with any method safely, either recovery/code/system settings

-All ROMs relesed before 2013 have SDS (sudden death syndrome) bug and can brick device spontaneously. so whenever you need to flash stock ROM, always select 4.1.2 released in 2013. in case you plan to flash custom ROM, make sure your recovery and kernel are SDS patched.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasu1:

Is it possible to screen mirror image from my phone (SII 4.0.4 ) to a Samsung 32C5000 TV via LAN ? I'm looking for fomething like screenshare or smartview , btw these do not working with my tv. Allshare doesn;t have any of these options just playing files. It would be really cool to play virtua tennis / nes games with usb controller on the tv.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 1Chef:
You could just get an mhl cable???
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] alextranced:
The idea is to use the gamepad in the microUSB port with an OTG adapter so MHL isn't an option. Also wireless offers some form of freedom meaning I'm not limited to using cables.

2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-M..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item41729ff31c
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 1Chef:
Number 1 looks right :D

Number 2 is an adapter to turn the s3's micro USB port into an s2's, as Samsung changed the way mhl worked on s3 so you couldn't use s2 mhl cable

Just so you're aware mhl requires stock ROM and the cable must be connected to a power source as well to work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] alextranced:
Hmm ,.I think I'll buy the first but what if I decide to change my phone? Will it work with another Android S3 or maybe some HTC dunno ?

No problem regarding firmware as I am not a fan of custom roms.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 1Chef:
The cable won't work on s3 as the cable is 5 pins and s3 is something like 12 but there's adapters available like number 2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jovilpasrija:
Screen mirroring is possible

screen mirroing is capable in phones Galaxy s3 and above and it can be easily ported in galaxy s2 if neatROM develpoers thinks its a worthy feature like they did in feature (Multi - Window) which was also supported in phones Galaxy s3 and above...
