[Nexus S General] mbwelch:
Is the reception really poor for you or is it just that the signal strength indicator for WiFi appears to be lower? I, too, noticed this when I first got my Nexus S compared to my Nexus One, however the WiFi does work up to the same distance away from my router on both phones. Maybe they just need to tweak the way the signal indicator is displayed?
[Nexus S General] gogol:
In my case, it often disconnect suddenly ... and immediately reconnect.

Very often ...

While I don't have that issue with my HTC Desire.

Nothing has changed in the network.
[Nexus S General] Griffinx:
It works OK just with minimum signal but downstairs in my kitchen I have no signal at all whereas my ipad and palm have nearly full signal. If I move closer to the router to a position where minimum signal returns, it then drops in and out...very frustrating.

[Nexus S General] zen123:
Same here frequent disconnects & reconnects aswell as weak signal (probably why it keeps disconnecting). I'm on my 4th NS & they were all the same. Wifes Galaxy S has no such problems, my son Moto Defy has no problems & an IPhone 4 I have also has zero problems.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
Is there already a report about this problem on the Nexus S official support forum?

[Nexus S General] rocketragz:
question about the restart issue. do you guys only have this issue of restarting while on a call? or does it randomly restart every once in a while whether you are on a call or not?

my phone, every couple of days or so will randomly restart. i don't have to be on a call for this to happen. is this one of the bugs being fixed in the update or am i having another issue?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Are you running anything non stock?
[Nexus S General] EpicAaron:
I've had both, where my phone has just been sitting and it restarts, and many times while I've been on a call and it restarts, I've also had the phone randomly lose contact with the radio and not allow me to hang up the phone call (while I still cant hear the other person), which requires me to reboot the phone -.-.

So hopefully the OTA they will soon push will fix all 3.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I haven't had an in-call reboot yet, though I have had a few reboots when the phone froze up multitasking.
[Nexus S General] sir topas:
I just had my first reboot. The device had been running for about 2-3 days with heavy use. I normally try to reboot the device myself every few days to free up memory (old habit from my WM days). I'm wondering if the random device reboots are a result of a crash from too many open programs? It finally happened to me as I was running the browser, the dictionary app, a live wallpaper, and paused music player. I hadn't done a manual reboot in 72 hours or so. I've actually gone longer than that with no trouble before, so I'm not sure if it was the 2.3.2 update or what? That fix can't come soon enough!
[Nexus S General] rocketragz:
i'm stock besides running adwlauncher ex.

and from the posters above, it looks like there is hope the reboot issue will be fixed with this update. glad it's not phone specific and I hopefully won't have to deal with exchanging.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cappelletti:
Hi everyone.

Received may phone yesterday. Powered up and did all the wizard stuff (date, time, GMT, etc).

Phone booted into Sense interface. Took a look at some menus and decided to turn off the phone (I was at work and had no time to let it charge). Then the first bug. After trying to power off, the HTC screen froze. Had to take the battery off.

Came home and tried again. Froze on the HTC screen on start up.

Looked for some info on Google and found a lot of people with similar problems. Some answers (including here) pointed to a volume down + power action, followed by a clear storage option.

Did that.

The phone buzzed seven times on HTC screen and froze again.

Tried fastboot, froze.

Tried clear storage again, froze.

What's my option beside that?

All I found is this same procedure.

Tried with and without the SD card. With and without SIM card. With battery, with USB cable, with both...

Always freezing on the HTC screen.

After some minutes on the HTC screen the phone seems a little warm.

I didn't root it, so it had Android 2.1 on it. Didn't change a bit. It's quite difficult to find someone with a problem like this (can't even get to theSense UI) without haven't tried to root.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanx.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
This all points towards hardware failure/production faults so don't even bother with fixing it yourself. Just take it back to the store you bought it or send it to HTC for repair.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cappelletti:
Damn, that sux! :/

My first HTC phone.

Never had any problem with my X10 mini. Just wanted a bigger screen.

I don't like Motorola and Samsung Galaxy seems too big.

Have to think now about getting another Desire.

Thanx for the reply.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Out of interest, how long did you wait on the HTC screen? It can take a few minutes to boot on the stock ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cappelletti:
Some good minutes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Why buy a new one, this should be under warranty? Did you bought this one second hand?

You cloud try to run a RUU but if it's a new phone I wouldn't bother with because it increased the chance you brick it and lose the warranty.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cappelletti:
I bought it on an ebay like site.

I already contacted the seller and she asked me to send it back. But I was hoping I could do something to make it work.

Unfortunately she doesn't have another one to send me. So I'll get a refund for now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cappelletti:
The seller told me she can get another Desire only on February 15th.

I don't know if it's worth the wait.

I can ask for a refund and buy from another seller right away. And I think it's better, because I can't stand waiting so long for something I already paid for.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] low99:
There is a setting for changing lock screen image under Settings > Display > Wallpapers > Lock screen wallpaper > Gallery... after saving the image, it doesn't seem to work (lock screen wallpaper is still my home screen wall paper)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Why_Sleep:
Firstly, a warm greeting to the xda community for all your wonderful contributions to the push for education about these amazing devices we've come to know as smart phones. Truly learned so much through this site. However, I came to this page not eagerly seeking new info on the latest phone or newfound wisdom on my own, but heartbroken. At only four days old, the beauty of my newly purchased Vibrant has been marred by a small but deep scratch in the middle of the amoled. The means by which the scratch came about are, well, surprising to me even still. Was using the phone night before last, pinched in to zoom on a link while browsing the net. Apparently I had a bit of a hangnail on my thumb which literally dug in and carved out a scratch in the screen in front of my eyes. Now, I've perused this site and others thoroughly looking for a solution & am well aware of the flag-wavers for Corner and their gorilla glass technology. I'm not here to start a war or debase the company, simply looking for a viable solution to a problem which has really impaired use of this new phone outside of replacing the entire screen, something I cannot afford. Thanks in advance to anyone who's taken to time to read this tangent and actually respond, regards
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferhanmm:
lol a hangnail scratched it? sounds crazy. anyways i read somewhere that it can be polished out. not sure how true that is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
If you have access to a dremel you might be able to polish it out using some sort of scratch remover. You may have to do some digging but a while back another member on here wrote a very detailed thread on removing a scratch. Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnowledgeBroker:
Damn man.. a buddy I work with and I have literally tried to scratch it with keys.. even a friggin razorblade, NO JOKE! A hangnail.. you must be kidding, right? If you aren't, and you bought it legit, make sure it is under warranty and break it in a way that should work. I would be able to break mine happily if a razorblade didn't scratch it, but a hangnail did, lol!

But seriously, this is the first phone I don't have a screenprotector on, and I leave it in my pocket with things that should have tore it up, yet it is still as new looking as the day I got it. Hell, you may be able to return it just because that sounds like a defect.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWKSLVR:
Can you feel the scratch?

Once I thought I had messed my screen up pretty bad. I saw several light "scratches" and tryed to rub them out thinking maybe they were streaks. Nothing worked, until I put a Zeiss Lens Cleaning Wipe to it and they came right out.

I don't use screen protectors, I use my phone every day, it's scratch free. I'm also a guitar player with long nails... just sayin. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MintJulep:
Do you have a screen protector?

It really seems unlikely that you scratched the glass with a fingernail.

Are you sure that there isn't a screen protector on, and you scratched that?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Why_Sleep:
Can understand why you'd assume I'm making some obvious misconception. Sadly, no, there was no screen protector on. The scratch is deep, the pixels inside it are reflected, giving a distracting warped look to them against any solid color other than black & it can be felt when running your finger across the screen. Though it seems unlikely, I saw it happen. If anything, hope this thread is another supporting opinion towards putting a screen protector on your phone asap. Gorilla Glass is Not impervious, my phone is physical proof. Thank very much for the suggestions and link, after further research it appears that a dremel, quality glass polish & some elbow grease is the only option I have. Hoping it works!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Please do not polish as someone else suggested.

You will make matters worse, and cause swirl marks, and a complete mess.

JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.

There was a thread somewhere with pics of someone polishing and repairing their scarted screen, it looked scarry. Don't even attempt it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjdmobile:
I have heard of using toothpaste and non abrasive cloth may work. I have lots of scratches on my camera lens, which is worse.

I also have scratches all over the screen (bought mine used on Craigs). This may sound stupid, but I put a screen protector on, and the scratches are harder to see.

Side note - most people with screen protectors on put up with much worse visibility as the protector gets used more. Most of the discomfort with the scratch is mental. Put on a protector and put in your mind it's the protector scratched up, and you will feel better. I know this from experience with the same phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tobi1982:
Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, so I introduce myself:

My name is Tobi, I'm 28 and come from a place near Munich, Germany.

As I'm new to the forum, I can't post in the development-related sections so I have to post here...

I just bought a new Android phone (Milestone 2) so I can use my old xda Diamond to go a little wild with it, play with roms, mods etc..

Currently, I'm running XDANDROID (Froyo) on it which works surprisingly well, but I keep having the problem that after locking the device with the power button, I can't wake it up anymore, so I have to soft-reset it.

I am using the latest files from the XDANDROID page. The problem did only occur after a while, when I had set up WiFi, Google account etc., with the plain install, no problems.

Any ideas about this?

Second problem is that in my google account on the phone, the calendar does not show up.

I hope anyone can help, because in general it is quite cool stuff :-)

Cheers

Tobi

For I9192

I had similar experience with some difference, just sharing my thoughts which can be used by others if required. In my case it was selection of right ROM but wrong recovery tool which made me stuck at boot logo with no activity kind of situation.

(1) I connected my device with my PC ,switched on Odin, fortunately it was able to detect my device .

(2) I went through all the desired process which are required at the time of installing a custom recovery tool.

(3) Flashed through the correct recovery tool, rebooted the device in recovery flashed with correct ROM..reboot..and all back to normal for me.

Hope it will be helpful for someone in case of soft brick situation, tutorial related to flashing with ODIN can be found easily on web.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkave:
I have recently bought a HTC Desire HD phone from Softbank in Japan. I have rooted the device successfully and installed Cyanogen 7 Nightly ROM and everything was working fine, However the battery was draining crazily. I found from one of the threads that to fix the problem i need to update the radio. Hence, I updated the radio to 26.04.02.17_M2 as suggested by many people.

Ever since, I am not getting my 3g signal at all, however I can make phone calls and connect to wifi.

I tried installing a different ROM Leedroid 1.5.1 and same problem persists.

Current config

baseband : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

Android : 2.2.1

Softbank restricts MMS applications using a custom User Agent string. This is probably why it's not working but I'm not sure if someone has created a customized MMS APK for your ROM.

The easiest way to use MMS with SoftBank is by using the SoftBank mail app.

Go here and click on the SoftBank MMS section for info.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
This thread is back in February.

When you change rom you need to make sure that you are using the correct APN (Access Point Name) which came with your phone (in the original rom).

The APN is basically the address and password which is used to access your carrier's data/internet access.

You can use a program like APN Backup & Restore which saves your APN info in an .xml file which you can easily restore when you flash a new rom.

Some roms have many APN's listed for you to choose but your's might not be listed or included, plus if you choose the wrong one it can cost you a LOT of money in wrong data fees. (I made this mistake a few years ago with a SoftBank Windows Mobile phone which cost me $1000 equivalent in Japan.)

So get the program above and save your original APN which you are using. (whichever is checked if you have a few listed.)

Then when you flash a new rom - immediately disable Mobile Network (in settings) and install APN Backup & Restore and then delete the new rom's APNs and restore your APN. Then make sure it's checked, switch on Mobile Network and you should be OK. (I reboot and then check it's still checked afterwards). Like I said, if you use the wrong APN, you can get crazy billing fees - regardless of whether your original contract is unlimited packets or not.

I hope this helps.

hi all,

I'm planning to flash a custom rom for the first time. Since I like HTC Sense, RCMixHD seemed like a good choice? (Is it?)

My phone is already rooted and via rom manager i have clockworkmod. I also made a backup via the recovery.

Now is my question: what is the difference between the two versions of the rom? Is one better than the other? And what exactly do I have to do with the sd-card to make it work correctly?

Thank you in advance,

Floris
[Desire General] EddyOS:
A2SD+ - apps and app data moved to the SD card

Data2SD - ALL data is moved to the SD card

Quite simple really! Data2SD is better for storage BUT add strain to your SD card. Plus, you need a fast SD card for it to be worth while (Class 6 upwards)
[Desire General] Floris2310:
thank you for such a quick reply!

Now I know I should chose the A2SD+ version since (for the time being) I only have the preinstalled memory card.

Now the only thing I have to do is partition it correctly?

Thanks!
[Desire General] Tillus:
Yes. :)

[Desire General] Floris2310:
I've watched a video in which they use gparted to partition the sd-card. However they say in the video they think you need to create a fat16 partition for sdcards lower than 4gb and fat32 for larger cards.

Like it said, I use the preinstalled 4GB card. Should I use fat16 or fat32?

Also, in the RCMixHD topic, you can download a lot of different versions of the A2SD+ rom. I believe with different kernels and the first one is 2.0x1. I have downloaded the 2.0x1 version. Is that okay?

thanks!
[Desire General] Tillus:
I've never heard of that and can't think of any reason why you should create a fat16 partition.

I'd keep the fat32 partition, resize it (make it smaller), and create a 500mb ext3-partion at the end. (thats what I did months ago and everything works nicely)

Sry I cant help you with the rom-question, I don't use a hd-rom.

Would I be looking at a creating Custom Rom or is there another way to control what the phone can have access to.

Any Ideas or help would be appreciated.

[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
at present there is no capability to perform this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, who do you want to lock it down for?

You won't be able to download apps without a Live ID, so if your kids don't have it, they'll have pretty locked down devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
I think it is not possible at the moment.

Desktop Windows has only had effective parental controls since Vista (2007). (There were relatively ineffective third party ones before.) Windows CE 6 (2006) only supports basic controls: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee499001.aspx. And WP7 is built on CE6. Although WP7 is heavily controlled by its own mechanisms, so it could be added.

Management of controls was connected to Windows Live with Windows 7. This system could be added to phones, but it's all fairly new and there are other things to do first.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kaisersolo:
Thanks for the response guys

From what has been said it seems that this not really possible.

We are currently looking at what devices we need to acquire, and we need devices that can be locked down (Don't ask me why - management decision, probably related to data usage costs) so that user can only use it for work related tasks.

So OUT go things like gaming and social networking,

And IN are normal phone tasks's calling, texting, email, camera and the ability to sync to the cloud aslo, gps navigation.

We are looking at the WP7 phones because of Sharepoint as we have a lot of development planned that way and would like the ability to access that information remotely via a device.

Does anyone know of another way to achieve this or do I have to delve deeper Into the inner workings Wp7. Or failing that look at at different hardware/software.

Regards
