[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] guitardoc64:
The lesson learned is that it always pays to do a fresh install. Noobish mistake on my part. I got away with it going from MDC to MDL but not to MF9.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] autoprime:
I'm not seeing anyone in here claiming great screen on time.

I see lots of people claiming between 5-6 hours of screen on time. Since the MF9 update... I've had between 3.5 and 4 hours of screen on time. Anything less than 4 hours screen on time is pretty lame. :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] guitardoc64:
True. Today running my clean install I am actually noticing improvement on the already impressive battery life. Very good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] guitardoc64:
The proof. Solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] joe.stay:
Before I go to sleep, I check what my battery percentage is at. When I wake up 10 hours later, my battery has gone down 15%. It's been very consistent like this ever since I got the phone (I updated manually to MF9 from MDL and rooted the minute I unpacked the phone from package since last week). When I had my epic 4g touch, I had similar experience with 1% decrease every hour but I forgot what I did so that it became 1% decrease from when I went to sleep to when I wake up 10 hours later. Is anyone getting 0-1% decrease while the phone is sleeping for 8-10 hours for the galaxy s4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] guitardoc64:
How do you sleep 10 hours? Lol. I've noticed that too.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiniDemonic:
I have searched a bit, but since I am not at home currently I don't want to waste all of my bandwidth in searcginf .

So I flashed the PAC nightly 0714 ROM I had the custom PAC 0708 before. I did a full clean install wiping everything, but I still get screen clipping if I activate phablet or recommended mode. Here's a screenshot:

I read somewhere that I should reset hybrid settings and I did that and rebooted but that only activated stock ui mode and trying to change back to phablet or recommended still clips the screen even after rebooting.

I didn't have this problem in 0708.

I'm sorry if there is any errors in either my grammar or the post formatting, I'm typing this on my phone and it's pretty late here.

Hi!

Before I start tese are my current system info:

XDA2ii (O2) - UK

ROM version 1.10.00 WWE

ROM date:24/12/2004

Radio ver: 1.00.00

Protocol version: 1337.39

ExtROM version: 1.10.124 WWE

OS: Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition

Version 4.21.1088 (build 14235.2.0.0)

I am trying to connect to my home WIFI network but I can't seem to connect. It is indeed picking up the server (name appears) in list but just stops at connection to network. It can't seem to get any connection at all. My wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) can't seem to detect it as well.

I have tried connection to WIFI at an airport and it seems to work but not at home. I have set my Linksys to Mixed mode (B and G) but still can't get it to work.

Any advice?

Thank you!!!

XDA IIi (or 2i) and 3COM WAP

Hi.

Got the exact same (everything) XDA IIi model (also O2/UK). I'm also having problems with WLAN/WIFI connectivity both at work and home. Both cases it's a 3COM OfficeConnect WAP (office one not setup by me). I thought I validated that the XDA seems to be OK by being able to connect to a neighbours WAP (some BT-Voyager thing) with no apparent problems. And so was thinking that the problem is with the 3COM WAP. However, your post raises doubts on my conclusion ...

The search goes on ...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] nmt1978:
Re: XDA IIi (or 2i) and 3COM WAP

hi

My case is even worse, it can not detect any wifi signal at any of the hotspot in my city. Go to wireless Lan Manager, under WLAN button (red status) there is alwayls a sentence: "no connection in use". Clicking to it, the device seem to search but found nothing.

Try softreset, hardreset but the problem remains.

In addition, I try to turn off the phone (turn on flight mode) then it don't allow to turn on bluetooth and wifi too.

Maybe it is due to hardware error.

Really disappoint with O2 UK

WiFi connection problems with XDA2i

I have exactly the same O2 xda2i build as Johnnyboy, and precisely the same problem with WiFi as Blackwolf and Johnnyboy. I have a netgear WiFi access point at home, and have disabled the attach restriction and removed WEP. However, although the XDA can see the network name, it cannot connect to the network (just displays connecting...) nor does it show anything on the signal bar. Needless to say, it does not display SSID, Tx rate, Channel, IP address or any information from the network.

I have bought this device specifically for wifi access, and it is somewhat disappointing. Anyone have any idea how this can be fixed? (if at all :? )
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] windupmerchant:
XDA Wi-Fi Successful Connection!!!

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and new to XDA2i....

I too had many frustrations connecting the wi-fi...but now I've cracked it, here's how.......

On first very first use (or following a hard re-set) device users are prompted to choose “What do you want WLAN to connect to?” The option bullets are ‘Internet’ or ‘Work’….’Work’ should be selected, this will connect them to the nearest WLAN (if this network is WEP encrypted it should be switched to ‘Open’ rather than ‘shared’ as is often the case).

Next prompt asks for any WEP Encryption ‘Pass Key’ to be input, when doing so omit any ‘-‘ between character pairs. Normal start-up should then be completed. Once device is up and running…..

From ‘Start’ pull-down on the ‘Today Screen’ select…. ‘settings’>’connections tab’>’connections icon’>’advanced tab’>’Select Networks’> pull-down ‘My Work Network’ > ‘OK’ out of selections to save and exit.

Go to ‘Wireless Manager’ in programs, select WLAN icon from main screen (which should turn green to show active), then select mini ‘WLAN’ icon from lower toolbar to see the status of the connection, quality of signal etc.

That did it for me......

Cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Scipio:
Finally cracked it! As I never had any problems with my Netgear MR814 wireless router, I assumed the issue was with the XDA2i. Instead, a router firmware upgrade did the trick! Should have thought of that earlier.

Cheers, S.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Danny-B-:
When i first got my XDA 2i home from the shop the first thing it tried was the wireless lan, and the same thing happend to me also..... everything fine in the router but still unable to connect the xda.

anyway after few hours of going over every single setting time and time again , it finally worked !!

i left the Wlan enabled and after a period of a few minutes it connected to my network.

So i think the XDA 2i is quite tempremental with Wlan, as i know my settings were correct.

having said that, i have had no problems with Wlan t all since then, it will now even connect to other Wlan hotspots with no problems whatsoever.

The only problem i have now is recieving a decent O2 Cellphone signal i my area :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mikee4fun:
Well I have a XDA IIi and it connects fine and allways has to Citi Hotspots, TMO hotspots and my own Linksys WRT54GS. Netgear is the biggest piece of crap ever sold. If you have one I suggest you soak it in gas and burn it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] flimflam:
I had a problem with my XDA IIi connecting to a home Wi-Fi network with a Linksys WRT54GC router: a signal showed in the Wireless LAN Manager, including an IP address, but the WI-Fi icon at the top of the Today screen had no connection bars. After days of this I went to the Linksys settings for an unrelated reason and disabled Wireless SSID Broadcast. Inexplicably this appeared to cure the WiFi problem with the XDA IIi, and I can now connect with ease.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] christopherwoods:
Ok, I might as well add my question to this thread, as it's relevant.

I have an O2 UK XDA2i, and I've also experienced similar problems connecting the wifi and managing to get it to work properly.

I'm at Uni in Birmingham, and at some of my faculties there's wifi for students and staff to use - they give the broadcast SSID UCEOpenAccess, and you use your system logon (in my case STUDENTS\F05310011 and my password (secret ;)).

I have these details set in the LEAP tab of my wireless lan config (in the WLAN settings) - I have an entry named UCEOpenAccess, and I have my username and password (and domain) set correctly, and the auth type set to Open System (as opposed to EAP, doesn't seem to make any difference whatever I set it to)...

... I just can't connect to any wifi network! I can't even _SEE_ the wifi network, and I know it's there, I can pick up other wifi networks and detect them using Wifi Graph and Hitchiker. I just, bizarrely, can't see the one wifi network I'm trying to connect to.

It's incredibly frustrating. I have my network adapter set to connect to Work (as I've seen advised on these forums), and my IP is assigned via DHCP (they use a weird class b subnet for their network), and the proxy to connect to the Internet is also setup correctly in my Network (This network connects to the Internet checked, This network uses a proxy to connect to the Internet, and proxy is specified in the box), and as the proxy is a SOCKS 5 authenticating proxy, all the relevant details and username+password are in place in the Advanced settings.

Still doesn't work!

Is it due to my original (and decrepit, from the looks of things) firmware and software versions? I'm running original radio, is that a problem maybe? I've scouted about quickly for updates from O2 for my XDA, but I don't want to install a Japanese update as I don't reallllly want to have to read Japanese (and I can't, etc) - I don't want to make a brick out of this brand new phone, but the resources for total xda newbs is somewhat lacking. Can someone just poke me in the right direction with a stick?

Cheers all.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] drumiec:
Okay so here we go!

I wanna show you how can u quickly increase volume of your headphones.

First of all you don't need special downloads, just try with your best music player (i'm using PowerAmp).

Follow this steps:

1. Connect your headphones to your uber Ace I :)

2. Turn on FM radio. Choice some station, make volume 0.

3. Back to menu without closing radio.

4. Turn on music player (like PowerAmp) and play music.

The radio will switch off when u hit play.

5. Back to menu (still playing music in background).

6. Turn FM radio on again.

7. Feel the difference :))

--- If something goes wrong try again switch player / radio on. Working with all roms (not tested on CM).

Known isues:

* sometimes when your music player is in background, volumeup key will increase both radio and player volume. (if player is on screen then is okay).

* you can destroy headphones by using max volume all the time.

* your head may explode ;)

SO USE THIS WITH BRAIN !

Hit THANKS if you like this and leave comment of your experience :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] drumiec:
what player you use?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] srt99:
poweramp.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] drumiec:
try this method few times... switching on radio / player. You should finally find method to do this.

edit:

* try to start with player, then radio, then again player and radio again. FM radio for the second run should turn on only by clicking on icon - nothing more.

* try to kill radio and PowerAmp process before.

+ suggestions:

maybe it depend what kernel u got. I am always using Rafael's one. Ofc it's only my suggestion, nothing more.

If someone watched movie, You can see that i got modified Radio. This one is from sgs3 v5 rom by Sniper Killer. I just copy this to Ex-Trim rom by using file manager with root permissions. Anyway, the trick works also on stock radio too. If not work then i'm sad. If some dev may explain me why and how this working (or why i got this beautifull bug) then i'll thanks alot ;)

Maybe this could be usefull do make some sound boosting app.

I have an IOcean X7 Elite Specs are as follows:

CPU - MTK6589T ARM V7 Quad Core

GPU POWERVR SGX 544MP

RAM - 2GB

I've been trying to download GTA 3 and Vice City however it appears incompatible with my device on the Google Play Store and when i tried to download it manually it force closes. This makes no sense to me as I've been reading about the performance of the MTK6589's performance on these games which means that it should be compatible with my phone. I'm currently running a LEWA ROM however when I was running the stock ROM they still appeared as incompatible.

Can anyone with a phone using this CPU confirm that these games are compatible and how I'd install them on my phone.

BTW This is the ROM I'm using - http://www.needrom.com/mobile/iocean-x7-elite-lewa/

If you really want to play GTA vice city on your phone you may try to follow the following steps, but take a NANDROID BACKUP before doing this because it can easily give you issues since I've never tested it on this phone (it worked on my china tablet).

copy build.prop in your sd card so you can restore it in case of problems

change the following lines in original build.prop

ro.product.model=GT-I9300
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=m0xx
ro.product.device=m0
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

reboot

This mod will not increase playstore compatibility, but should help this kind of games to not force close when you have already installed in your phone.

To increase playstore compatibility do the following:

Backup /system/etc/permissions

Download this file www . dropbox . com/s/96q0w0rpmpyuvsi/xmlfiles.zip and copy all permissions inside /system/etc/permissions

Set files permissions to rw-r-r

Go to settings->apps->Google Play

Click on Clear data

Reboot

If anything goes wrong you'll need to restore previows permissions/build.prop.

Note 2 is designed to be charged with 2000mA current so it's OK if it's charged with 1700mA. Your original white cable is probably broken somewhat so your phone is lowering charging speed just to be safe.

The problem is that 7.x is a piece of sh!t. When using the navigation function you can't get back to the destination if you take a call or do anything else.

What a refreshing view...... you have not considered what happens when 6.x automatically updates to 7.x without your consent? It will happen soon enough and it won't matter that you try to roll back to 6.x it will still update.

I'm finding trying to type in a destination is a frustrating and miserable experience. Sometimes after entering a destination, it takes me back to the same screen and I have to press the destination again before it actually goes to navigation mode. Sometimes if I say speak "Target" it will just direct me to Target 20 miles away without giving me an option to select from a list. Sometimes it fills in my current location, sometimes not.

It looks pretty, but any time Google updates their aesthetics, they go backwards in functionality. I'm sticking with Waze until it either gets absorbed into Google Maps, or Maps cleans up its act.

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:

This was not the type of auto update I was referring to. Google Play Services enables any Google app to be force updated without your knowledge or consent, it happens outside of the play store and the only real way to prevent it is to never have an Internet connection.

Google will eventually use this to update maps for those of you who still try to maintain the old version (it's like trying to force an old version of the play store to stay installed, it won't happen)
