I bought my XDA Mini s from eBay and it is branded O2. I use it on Cingular so I loaded the ROM found here Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.

Most everything works except;

1) Skype will not connect to GPRS or WiFi - it always thinks it is doconnected

2) Ade this is really strange. The characters that appear do not always match the ones printed on the keys when using the slide-down keyboard. Usually one character off.

I really NEED a fix for two - BAD. Please help

3) Wifi just will not connect to security-enabled AP's. it will connect to open AP's.

Yo, if you look closely at your Mini S and then at the K-jam and 8125, you will notice that the keys are not in the same placement. The mini S is either a UK (yes there's a difference) or a german keyboard. The others are US/worldwide versions. Go download registry editor on this site, its on the thread called "easy tweaking your wizard. On the second page of tweaks, it lets you choose keyboard versions. The correct one is Englisch (not a spelling error).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] johnocooper:
Keyboard solved

Thanks for the tip and thanks to the author of the treaking program.

I have decided to got back to the OS ROM because I cannot get Skype (which I use a lot) to run using the Cingular ROM.

can someone please provide me with the right tools,

would be realy helpfull, thnx

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zealshane2:
root it.. i think its the best way to flash your rom and unlock the bootloader..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marty141:
To do this, go to galaxynote2root website and look at the tutorials. It takes you step by step and is basically a can't miss process. You can even reverse it later on if you don't like the results, but I found it great to fine tune your device to exactly what you want out of it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
1. This is the Galaxy Note 2 forum. Putting "Galaxy Note 2" in your thread title is ridiculous.

2. You also specifically create a "Help" topic but then for some odd reason decide to put it in "General" instead of the dedicated "Help" section???

3. No spoon feeding is allowed on XDA, if you want to root your device start reading instead of creating threads that already exist. Stop been lazy and use search, read and learn.

Try looking in phils recovery thread. I'm pretty sure there is an all in one package to root and install recovery that is flashed with odin. Just make sure you always flash the correct version, don't flash anything for the n7100 just the n7105 and you'll be fine
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdBst:
You also have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 toolkit... That's what I used the first time I unlocked/rooted/changed recovery of my phone... It's quite complete and basically does all the hard work for you... After rooted you have lots of ways of doing the same thing...

When i got my z1 i thought theres no way to turn the vibration off.. But i dug deep enough to fix this myself.. Just think every app that could have a vabration in it and turn it off thats what i did and then carefully set the vibration of the only app i want to vibrate.. Its sad that on the prvious xperias and other phones that if you turn off the main vibration switch every app that has a vibration even if its on it wont vibrate..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muttleytm:
I recently set up FreedomPop on my EVO 4G and everything worked OK. Shortly thereafter I installed Cyanmobile ROM and everything still worked. After a while though I could no longer dial calls. I could still use the 4G for data though. Apparently the profile needs to be updated from time to time.

I did some looking around and found that cyanogen didn't have a way to update the profile file and that to do it you had to backup cyanogen , install a stock ROM, uptate the profile file, then restore cyanogen. I also found a post

http://blog.ryantadams.com/2013/03/03/updating-prl-from-within-cyanogenmod/

That discussed why cyanogen couldn't install the update and proposed a way to do this by creating a contact with a specific dial code that you can call that will update the PRL file. The post discussed the code for Verizon and there was a comment about Sprint and the reply was that he thought it was simply *2,,,,,2 and suggested contacting the provider to find out.

I tried *2,,,,,2 and it didn't work. I contacted FreedomPop and all I could get out of them that the phone service is connected though the FreedomPop messaging application. I thought I could de-compile this app and then do a search for a string starting with a "*". I tried that but didn't find anything.

Does anyone know if this method works and what the code is, how to find out what the code is, or anything about this?

Also, is there a way to update the profile from adb?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
There's no way to update Profile from a non-Sprint-based Sense ROM that I'm aware of. I just use Boot Manager to switch between ROMs when I need to update Profile/PRL.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muttleytm:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muttleytm:
At the time I posted this I was using an EVO 4G and FP was using the Sprint Wimax network. Because of some hardware problems (USB port and main board or screen connectors) with my phone and the fact that Sprint/FP were switcing to Lte I switched to a FP Samsung Galaxy S3, which among other things came rooted. Because of this I never followed though on this advice. I can't help with a copy of the stock ROM either, but, I'm sure it is around.

You comment was timely though, because I'm on the verge of installing CM on the S3. I went to CM on the othe phone mainly because of low memory memory issues. When KitKat was updated to 4.4.2 they made it so that third party apps can't write the the SD card. They've since fixed their fix for KitKat for newer phones anyway, but, the S3 is stuck with 4.4.2. Theres and app that is supposed to fix it, but, it doesn't work, on my phone anyway.

The new CM still doesn't allow updating PRL/Profiles, so I was trying to remember the advice from this post.

I had remembered that there was a dual boot approach to switch back to stock for PRL/Profile updates. The MultiROM TWRP recovery is not compatible with my phone, but, I did find:

It is described in: xda-developers Android Development and Hacking Android Software and Hacking General [Developers Only] [TOOL] [MultiSystem] MultiROM and Recovery Replacement for Android by hsbadr.

It looks like what will work with the phone I have now. I will look into it futher.

[Desire General] cybergurken:
Hi guys

Device: HTC Desire GSM

HBoot: Rev 1.49.12 (not ssure but i think it was this)

Recovery: ??? (issue)

ROM: cm-7.2.0.1-bravo (issue)

condition:

Volume buttons dont work due to physical disconnectivity, not software related

Problem:

code - "fastboot boot recovery.img" (tried with 4ext and CWM, same result) result - reboots showing HTC boot screen + 1 vibation, reboots again showing HTC boot screen + 7x Vibrations and stays on screen

sometmes after removing the battery, I leave it for a couple of hours it for some reason boots into the OS, after going to playstore and presing the power button, the phone rebooted and went into a: reboot, 1 vibration loop

info

can erase cache, dalvik partition in fastboot

code - "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (tried with 4ext and CWM, same result) result - successfully written and flashed

code - "fastboot devices" result - shows connected device like normal

I have done quite alot of research and I am glad that there are a few posts on KitKat versions for the Desire, the Desire is an ALL time favourite, wonderful device, thus I want to resurrect mine...

What causes:

1. after flashing a recoveryt that the device wont boot recovery .img or wont boot into recovery from fastboot?

2. after flashing a rom, it wont boot rom

please note, although it happens to many people, the device does heat up quite a bit after a short period of time in fastboot USB mode

[GiONEE Elife E7] GTARaja:
Hello All,Ive purchased Gionee Elife E7 and there is a problem with WhatsApp that there is no push message notification...When I open WhatsApp i can see the messages notification of what all messages ive received..any one facing the same problem and have a solution to it??
[GiONEE Elife E7] Grato:
Yes Me too facing the same issue. Didn't find a solution either.
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1995ad:
Here's a fix:

This is a known issue with the default launcher of Elife E7. Whenever you quit an app (by sliding it away on the homescreen), the launcher force quits the app. So, if you close WhatsApp like this, you automatically turn off the notifications.

There are two ways to solve the problem:

1) Don't ever quit WhatsApp by sliding to clear it in the Navi launcher.

2) Use another launcher, like Nova Prime or so.
[GiONEE Elife E7] NHS2008:
It still doesn't do that trick. Unless you keep opening it frequently, It will be killed in the background after a while. Really annoying.

One thing I tried to no avail is to install Xposed and install the 'App Settings' module and make Whatsapp a RESIDENT app. Still it will get killed.

I'm not sure if this option could help, but try disabling that "Auto-clean" option under Power saving and it should stop closing processes like Whatsapp and others -
[GiONEE Elife E7] NHS2008:
I also thought that might be it but It triggers if we enter power saving mode right? Such a confusing app. I never enable power-saving,

but hey! lets try it.
[GiONEE Elife E7] Evander_F:
Maybe you guys can go to Developer Settings and increase the background process limit. Worth a try I guess.

I was quite interested in this phone but I've no clue about Gionee's service nor do I know if they will ever post OTA updates for the phone.
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
:good: Sure, I just got my phone delivered, but haven't opened the box yet. Let me know if that option works and WhatsApp works fine after disabling that.

I've heard (both internet and local word of mouth) that their service is good and improving day by day. Also you can check their twitter/FB account and I see many past devices getting updates over the air, so I don't think they would miss out any possible updates on their flagship phone :fingers-crossed:
[GiONEE Elife E7] Evander_F:
Thats good to hear! I might just consider it, I'm just waiting to see some active development on this phone, it's got a beast of the cpu :cool:

If you are still facing the problem, the solution is using GO Launcher or any other launcher instead of default. Once u make Go Launcher default it solved the isse and whatsapp is normal back to routine notifications. Let me know if works for u

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] IdeaDirect:
I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I just got my Cingular 8125 and the wifi is very slow. I don't know how to measure the actual speed but for instance on my broadband connection, going to Google.com opens up in about a second. On dial up it takes about 5 seconds. However, on my phone using wifi, it takes about 20 seconds. When using wifi on my laptop, it is comparable to my broadband speeds my router is connected to.

I have pretty slow GPRS service as well and wifi is comparable.

I get the same slow speed on 802.11b as well as 802.11g networks (g network with registry hack)

Is this normal? The wifi speeds with the unit brand new out of the box was very slow. I flashed the rom and even overclocked to 240, the wifi internet is still painfully slow. I don't really find this useable. If I go to a page with images and such it can take a minute or so.

Anyone have any suggestions? Are others getting good speed on wifi. I tested by watching a streaming video and the speed shown on the bottom of windows media was 18k.

Were my expectations too high? Is there a setting I have incorrect?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bratag:
Always best to be sure that you are actually using the wifi connection - Try disconnecting the gprs first before you connect to wifi. I have an issue where if I leave my gprs connection enabled all the time it takes precedence over my wifi no matter what.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] IdeaDirect:
Tried that but still no luck. When connected by wifi, I see the little wifi icon on the title bar. When connecting to GPRS, it shows the E and actually a pop-up saying it is connecting to GPRS. This part is actually working great. Uses wifi by default when wifi is on and GPRS is not.

I did try to disable GPRS entirely but still get the same slow results.

I also changed the wifi setting to maximize performance instead of save battery life. Didn't seem to matter.

I may experiment with Opera Mini or something to see if I can get some improved speeds.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Davebravey:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jknotten:
I had a problem with my wifi connection in that the DHCP server giving out an incorrect address for one of the DNS servers. This made the wifi slow, because Internet Explorer kept on trying to lookup the IP of a host using the broken DNS, and then falling back to the second in the list.

You try specifying a DNS server manually to diagnose the problem.

Cingular 8125 WiFi Fix that works!

Believe it or not the support for this product from HTC, the mfgr, is great and fast! That being said, I like most users have spent days hunting for solutions to the problem and you will not find them anywhere. But here is the solution:

First you must have an unlimited account for data usage or forget your WiFi...well at least simply. Also, you must get Cingular to flip a switch for your 8125 to automatically switch from WiFi to GPRS and back depending on what is the best signal. It works great once the switch is set.

The only way I found to do this was to call support and make sure you get to the HTC support group. They will guide you quickly through getting setup but you must tell them about the switch so they call Cingular and have the switch set. For some reason Cingular, no surprise, does not seem to know about this when they sell you the plan and the phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] IdeaDirect:
Re: Cingular 8125 WiFi Fix that works!

Thank you so much. This sounds like the solution I'm looking for. So are you saying to call HTC support and they will contact Cingular to have the switch set on my behalf?? Or do I just call Cingular and tell them to "turn the switch on"?

I do have an unlimited GPRS for data usage.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thephm:
what a crock of steaming brown stuff :x .... what exactly does wifi have to do with your telco? ... nothing. There maybe some registry entry that Cingular have set when the device ships which causes poor WiFi speeds but your GPRS data plan has nothing to do with WiFi data, unless you are talking about connecting to Cingular WiFi hotspots. The only changes needed will be on your device not within the Telco network.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Sleuth255:
before calling support, try this:

Go to comm mgr and turn off the phone. Then turn on WiFi and let it connect. Check your speed with www.2wire.com. If your speed is still slow, and another PC connected to that HotSpot isn't (test the PC with 2wire also) then your 8125 is bad.

Using the WiFi icon v.s. the "E" icon is no way to determine what wireless system you're using btw...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] IdeaDirect:
Ok, I tried 2wire. My laptop connected to my wifi network and clocks in at 3.2Mbps and my 8125 is showing 221 kbps. multiple tests showed 228, 205, 220). Perhaps it is unrealistic to expect similar speed as my laptop.

I turned the com manager phone back on and connected via GPRS and the speed test came back at 64.8 kbps.

So it does look like this method is working. I can live with 221 kbps.

By the way, I emailed Cingular and HTS. I got the following response from Cingular:

I think it's always going to be slow because of the way the phone is designed. Probably small bus interface. My friend has a 6700 wich cpu wise is pretty much the same based on comparison but his is much faster through wifi.

"I think it's always going to be slow because of the way the phone is designed. Probably small bus interface. My friend has a 6700 wich cpu wise is pretty much the same based on comparison but his is much faster through wifi."

No no no no no no and no.

small bus interface? for heavens sake... you have heard that there is something called a "bus" inside computers and that it is used to "transfer data" and this "bus interface" is small in the qtek so it is a viable candidate to blame slow transfers on.

no.

any memory bus designed after 1980 is capable of 200kbit transfers.

the main reason for the horrid speed of the 9100 is the stupid software design where every system call in a program gets interrupted by the os which in turn, after checking who-knows-what, in the name of "security" and "stability", and then executed. Of course this hinders performance dramaticaly without affecting stability and security a single bit: it still crashes. the difference is that it is also slow.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rambo6:
I'm running Xelencin's custom 2.17 ROM for T-mobile on my 8125. His ROM sets the device up to work with an 802.11 g wifi connection. I kid you not - I have measured 900 to 1200 Kbps on my wifi at home (comcast) and at work (T1). It's blazing fast.

To measure your speed, go to www.dslreports.com. Click on the lowfi version at the top of the page. Then click on speed test. Then choose either 600K or 1 MB and then let it do the test.

You may have some setting wrong.
