Your recommendation would suit youself my friend. I'll use a nice looking case.;)
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Basically every phone has way to hold it which will lower signal strength. With most smartphones it is rather easy. Most phones also have picture in manual how to hold it correctly. It's nothing new.
[HD2 General] omar302:
The HD2 issue your mentioning is a normal reaction to covering an antenna. This SHOULD happen in all phones since you are partially blocking the antena.

The iPhone 4 issue is not similar, if you go through this post:

http://gizmodo.com/5571171/iphone-4-loses-reception-when-you-hold-it-by-the-antenna-band

you'll see that the signal loss is due to connecting the left side of the antenna with the bottom by touching the left side and the bottom (left) portion of the phone. If you put a "Bumper", apple's term for cover, and then hold the iphone in exactly the same way, you will not lose the signal.
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
The thing is I have a black rubberised case around my HD2 and even WITH the case the bars still drop.
[HD2 General] jokies:
as long as you are not brothered, it cannot be called a problem.
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
Yes, thats because the singal has to go through your hand, so it might lose a bar or two.

All phones get this.

The Iphones problem is not the same thing, it just hast he same result.
[HD2 General] fards:
if i leave any phone I've ever had in pretty much any spot in my house the signal flutuates.

sod all to do with holding it.
[HD2 General] rmsa786:
just use a BT headset :D

[HD2 General] argentocruz:
lol... Snapperheads...

If you watch the iphone vid on youtube showing the 'making of' the phone you'll notice the alloy frame is the antenna... Covering it will help not to drop the reception... But having to have a cover to not lose reception is a joke...

As for the HD2, all phones held in a hand will have variance in reception... I tried the left hand thing on mine and it didn't drop a bar...
[HD2 General] pakure:
i have no problem with mine........may be the signal/reception from my carrier is really great unlike that in US.....:D:D:D:D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Please bear with me. I tried posting questions about this in the Q/A forum and received no real help.

I recently went from FRF50 to FRF83 and started getting random reboots. I'm on the 4.06.00.12_07 radio with the stock kernel. I wiped everything before flashing.

Today I wiped again and reflashed FRF50 and everything seemed to be okay aside from maybe 1 reboot.

I just flashed the stock FRF85B and rooted it and I'm back to rebooting. It's even worse now. It reboots the instant everything loads.

I got the last_kmsg:

http://pastebin.org/365407

Please let me know what's wrong. I'm dying to know. Is it hardware? Is it the battery? Am I going to have to pay a buttload of cash for HTC to fix it?

:(:(:(

Thanks for any help
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
1) This is the wrong forum and you know it.

2) Wipe everything, start over from stock rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Is it the wrong forum? Do people at the Q/A or general forum know about kernels/deeper info and do the people who know about that stuff venture over to those forums?

I tried getting info there, and I got none. This is the last place to turn.

What would wiping and starting from stock achieve?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
No excuse for posting in the wrong location. But wipe data, all caches and reflash stock rom + radio. Report in General Section.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
How will this help me? Okay if stock works, but what about the update?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
Why not maybe looking at using one of the moded versions of the Rom. If those dont work then maybe you need to think of going back to the Stock 2.1 and waiting for OTA to hit your phone. Going back to 2.1 will fix the problem and getting the OTA should work. Other wise wiping and reflashing is all that someone can tell you to do since I know i am using FRF83 right now with no reboots.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
Just wipe everything inc dalvik-cache

Stock kernel keeps rooting so I guess its a framework issue
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
I'm going to try to go back to stock and see if it works. If not I can only assume that it is a hardware problem and I'll have to bite the bullet and pay for repairs.

What kind of a hardware problem could it be??? :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Can someone help me get back to stock properly?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Sticky is full of bad info. I have new radio (4.06.00.12_07).

I'm assuming that if I get stock radio and the ERD79 update.zip I should be fine?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boesky:

might be a battery issue. my battery had been overheated during navigation and right after boot it would give out turn off and boot again. just replaced it and worked fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
To check battery issue, I suppose running with charger inserted would be enough.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
What do you mean by this?

I'm pretty sure it is the battery. Been keeping minimal use today without USB charging and haven't had a reboot.

Any other ways I can confirm a bad battery?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you can successfully boot and use the phone heavily while connected to a charger (preferrably AC charger - it can provide twice the current of USB cable), and you see no reboots - I believe that would point to your battery with a very high probability.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
The only three errors in that last_kmsg log are

1) [ 4.504974] ram_console: uncorrectable error in header

2) [ 5.291168] msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: error, status 43c8

[ 5.291290] msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: Error during data xfer (-5)

3) [ 65.519989] ARM9 has CRASHED

#3 is the culprit, but don't know what caused it, its a software issue so for now you can go back to FRF50 if that works fine.

I too have had some random reboots on FRF83, have not checked last_kmsg yet though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
The problem is when I'm connected to the charger I get reboots. Now I'm off the charger and it's fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Alright. Sending it in. Question:

What possible hardware damage could there be here? I'm worried that regardless of the issue, they're going to quote me the $196 for a mobo replacement. Should I be sending it in or should I (possibly) waste money on a new battery to test?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
I get yelled at for posting this in the development forum yet when it gets moved to Q&A, it doesn't get answered. Now you know why I posted it in the dev forum...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Your HW damage could include uncorrectable error in RAM, for example. Probably the most common reason for random reboots / system crashes on booting on PCs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
BTW, sorry, I didn't look carefully at your post. Now I suggest you do something before you actually return the phone.

ARM9 is a baseband CPU, and I guess that msm_i2c is also under baseband control. So I suggest you re-flash a radio, if you didn't try it yet. You can try flashing older radio just for testing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Thanks for your reply. I've reflashed the radio a few times and have even gone back to the first N1 radio. No luck.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gtkashi:
Greetings. Been haunting this place for awhile, happy to finally have root.

After the phone is rooted the last step is something that sweeps up a bunch of SE's stock apps that most people don't want. What about us who actually liked a few of them, though?

I would have liked to keep the app called "TrackID," and am wondering if there's any way to get it back? I can't really find like a repository for the base APKs (I might want the Mixi plugin for Timescape back in the future, as well).

Can someone rip these out somehow for individual installing?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MrPappy86:

Preventing the rooting process from removing apps

Hello, You could just enter the step4 folder and open the cleanup.sh file in notepad or similar.

Remove the line saying rm *packagename here*. Then your app will only be copied to your SD, but it will also remain on the phone.

ok... but now...

I have the app already installed, but now evertime it tries to connect it says "authentication error".... help?

I gave up and rooted the phone again, i went from steps 1 to 3 with no problems, using track id everytime to make sure it worked, and it did, I even used the cleanup script and it was there working very well...

So, I used steps 4 and 5 (for the X10a) But now it wont work... it says "authentication error".... what gives?

Sorry for my english, I´m from mexico...

Everything on my phone is working fine...:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] collider:
For TrackID I can only say that it was probably a rights issue.

Use chmod or Root Explorer to set the rights(644).

For step 4 and 5 i cant help,i have only a 3 step X10i :) ,sorry.

But dont give up, i think u find the help here on XDA.

I tried "android wifi tether", It says "no netfilter", by reading the guide from that developer's website, it says we need to get an android 1.6 update. I think it means the android 1.6 in our X10 is the earlier version of 1.6, those tethering software require something in the later version of 1.6. I also found the update on that website, but, X10 does not have recovery mode, so I dont know how to flash the "update.zip" into my x10
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trojjanhorse:
I manually set the LAN, but still no luck. The same error screen appears...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ddewbofh:
Do you have SuperUser working properly? Another thing can also be the WAN setting, it should be something like rmnet0.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trojjanhorse:
i think my superuser is installed properly... I followed the instructions given by bin4ry pretty closely and everything worked. WAN automatically was set to rmnet0.

Hmm, when I use setCpu, it says root not detected... that's kinda akward.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ddewbofh:
Yeah, it sounds like your rooting has an error. There was a bunch of updated files posted in the rooting guide among them a new SuperUser.apk, post #4 I think.

*hugzors barnacle*

It's my new favourite app. I've been using it to provide my internet access for the past few days and I can't stress enough how awesome it is. It works really well, doesn't flake out and provides tons of security options. If you feel that WEP isn't safe enough you can set up MAC filtering. It's a lot harder to spoof a MAC address than it is to crack a WEP key for this purpose. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shaunbu:
WEP can be hacked in about 5 mins and anyone monitoring traffic can easily find the mac addresses of computers connected and change their mac address to be the same. Don't want people getting massive data bills!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ranblv:
wep is not that secure, but if you combine it with mac address filter that also exists in barnacle, its sufficient for a cellphone link.

also keep in mind you have a data monitor so you can see if a lot of data is passing so you can disconnect.

For the people having slow connection speed,

I figured that if I place my X10 on top of my X10 given pouch, the connection would be perfect.

By putting the X10 on a table or hand somehow disturbs the connection.

And also if the problem still insists, try leaving the bottom part of the X10 free from any direct contact other than the pouch.

I place it about 1/3 off the table and the connection speed increased immediately.

Thought of this after reading the iPhone4's antenna resolution (:

Hopefully you guys can get it to work too
