3G and H signal not as good since updating to VillainROM 3.4!

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
But i can not seem to keep a H Signal for very long before it keeps going back to 3G.
and it has only started happening since installing VillainROM 3.4!.
When i am on the net it works fine, but when i am not active for about 10seconds is drops connection..
and this is a real problem when i am using Soccer Centre and i have to come out the program and back in for it to active H again..
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks
Marc

Works perfect for me
Flash the latest radio (my sig) if you have not already got it.
If you do then reflash it

@Redpizzi
Please do NOT start new threads with Villain issues. PLEASE use the Villain thread.
Regarding to your issue, flash the latest radio again like Lenny said.

Thanks Lennyuk, will try that...i have the latest rom, but will re-install it..
Like i am sat here and the icon is 3G - but when i load up internet or market then it changes to H, then if i leave it for a few mins it goes back to 3g....i thought i might have been a battery saving thing in the rom or in the 2.1 FW....
Thanks again
And Phanes / ermacwins. i got that answer i needed, and now other people dont have to look though 700 pages of posts to find the same answer if they have that problem.
So sorry if you dont like it but it is how i have done thing in forums for 20 years...

@Redpizzi
... didn´t know that there where forums and INTERNET in 1990 ...
I don´t think I want to give you a hand in the future ...

awesome, continue like that and ppl who are actually interested in DEVELOPING will have to go through 700 threads of noob mistakes before they find something interesting. and no, there was no internet 20 years ago. if you had at least 20 days of forum experience you might have learned to post in the correct section...

Forums - are not just related to the internet -forums have been around for a long time people.
Phanes you never gave me a hand anyway...
I asked for some help and i got the help i asked for. Fine i should not have but VillainROM in the Thread - but when i posted in the Villain thread before about another problem it never got answered.
Job is a good one, just dont need people ermacwins/Phanes and the **** kendong2 trying to noob bash.
I dont give a **** how many posts you have done, i have been here since 2005 and help when i can no matter where the ****ing post is....
The main man Lennyuk gave me am answer and i will try that. if that does not work, then please just direct me to the right place, DONT start giving me **** for it.
END OF CURRENT THREAD - DELETE IF YOU WANT...
****ing hate people trying to noob bash.....

so if you are that know-it-all guy that has done it all forever and before everybody else, why is it asked too much that you stick to the rules like everybody else does?
and for the record: you are the only one flaming around here, i for example never called anyone a **** around here.

Yer i was flaming cause i asked for help and instead i got noob bashes trying it on..so dont piss me off again, and drop it.....no more slagging off the topic, will ask for help elsewhere
Now the problem has not been solved, so i am gonna try another rom to see if that has the same problem. i have even parked right next to my local Antenna.....
Thanks again Lennyuk

Well not familiar with forum rules but agree with OP that it's nightmare to browse through all the posts when there are 50+ (most of them repetitive and useless) replies on single day.
and just realised that i added one now.........

well this topic is not repetitive not useless and if it was against the forum rules then i cannot see why..
260 views mean people are interested untill they find out omeone needs help.

tell me about it. Asked something earlier and the same two were right on queue, no help at all, complaining like I just shat in their cereal. There really is no need for that.
Obviously I'm new to these forums, but been around many other forums for years and years, when I read their response I was literally like oh here we go, I guess this is just another one of those elitist forums, full of mod wannabes and keyboard warriors. Thats until helpful people like lenny weighs in and restores some faith.
Let us know how you get on with reflashing the radio Redpizzi, I have this same "problem", I thought thats just how it was since I got the hero not long ago, and the internet was like that before I flashed it with a custom rom as well. Its minor though but would be good to get the best out of the phone.

your thread was moved by a mod and you still don't get it? so you are also resistant to learning?
well, i guess we have to blame your parents, for not raising you right. other kids have learned not to talk in between while adults are talking.

you guys are so annoying, ive never seen such ganging on someone for simply a post, so cut the crap and either tell him wat he wants or not.
I've also had this issue and the latest radio hasnt resolved it either, I'm also having trouble with slow internet and reception cutting and coming back, ive tried all the 2.1 eris and legend roms and found that behero is the one with the least issues but still isnt all that perfect, i still get cut off sometimes and find no reception, so for the wifi aswell.

kendong2 fair enough if its was in the wrong forum, as im new here I thought something customrom related goes here in the development forum.
the mod moved the thread I thought nothing of it, you on the other hand must've thought it was a personal victory for you and thought it was the equivalent of a public spanking lol. Did you somehow think you were secretly pulling the strings by pointing it out?
Is your whole ambition to be a mod on here or something? just to point out where people are posting wrong and try to insult them lol. Just from a few posts I find it hard to believe that you have any friends. I wont be surprised if you're actually some 13 year old who gets bullied everyday at school and trying to get your power trip on the internet. Next thing you know you'll be pointing out spelling mistakes and missed capital letters. Get a life you loser cos this forum is obviously all you have. You really give this forum a bad name. you're on a phone forum but I doubt anyone ever rings your phone.

Just knock it off. It´s really enough now.
Why don´t you accept that WE how we care about those issues want to see the issues posted IN THE THREAD not somewhere else.
It is done for you guys, for those who have issues and not being able to help themselves.
And stop this passive/aggressive game.

fair enough phanes. he started getting personal first so could only return like for like.
but you do have to concede for new users some things on here are not just there in plain sight to be found out. Not just a simple search away. There's a 700 page thread and everything else is in technobabble. Its simple and intuitive for you cos you already know it. Its like telling someone to learn how to do keyhole surgery by just telling them to read a book. Not even a specific book, just "a" book.

yeah right, because it was me calling ppl a "****" around here. read my posts, i point people out where they are wrong, and usually offer help in the very same post. you are complaining that you can not learn if nobody explains it to you, yet when i explain what you did wrong you still complain. seriously dude, it is not that bad to make mistakes, and i never blamed anyone for that (prove me wrong otherwise!), but it is bad if you don't accept that you made a mistake and learn from it. the fact that about ten threads got moved from the dev section to general or q&a in the last week alone is proof enough that everybody is just posting whatever he wants whereever he wants. i don't think i am secretly pulling any strings (actually i don't even know what you are trying to say...?), and it was for sure not a personal victory, all i did was one neutral post about the thread being in the wrong forum. if you can not deal with critics about your behaviour then you shouldn't come to the internet. go to your gazillions of friends, if they support that behaviour. this is a community, and if it is asked too much from you to stick to the most simple, general rules (that apply to ALL forums on the internet btw!) you won't find people to be that helpful. and obviously you need help.
you have contributed absolutely zero so far, except spamming the dev forum and flaming around here, you think you make friends like that? if it wasn't for lenny and his endless patience you'd still be crying like a little baby whose toy is broken...

Android Problems Thread

Mods please close this If you think I am wrong.
Firstly there are a lot of guys here asking about the same problems with android which I dont think are being noticed because the messages are either deleted or thread closed so no one see's.
I am not the only one with these problems with android but here are the 2 main ones that keep popping up and mods keep knocking us back down telling us to post in the relevent thread yet these problems are not for a relevent thread.
1. With certain Android Roms users are experiencing when answering and making calls the phonecall will be disconnected due to a problem with the proximity sensor.
2. With the latest Zimage from Cotulla certain users are getting the SOD (screen of death) when the phone goes into standby mode. Cotulla has mentioned this problem is fixed yet we cant find this fix anywhere and he has released the GPS working fix yet no SOD fix?
Hope I dont come off too strong its just when we as in the members try and get our opinion across or ask for help, we are shot down instantly by Moderators who frankly I know more Info than them and they should not close threads on guessing what our problem is.
Thanks, and If anyone thinks I should be a part of the staff Team Just gimme a shout, and ill keep things in order!

Oh waste of thread so you have the answers for us somewhere else then do you? Please share!

have you posted the disconnect problem in the respective rom. I personally have never had it.
secondly if you are getting the green screen of death with the 25th zimage you should revert back to the 23. That image is considered to be the most stable for those who have sharp panels which is what is causing the Gsod.
my two cents
From what I have seen, said mods are only closing threads that their questions have been answered in the sticky information. Its those questions that had made it fustrating for the mods the dev's and the general xda community. I literally see the same questions over and over and these have been answered.

Well not all Android Builds are there same so you are going to have different results, Darkstones proximity sensor for calls works perfect, GPS has been fixed and working except the releases are all home made so far not official, the latest zimage is random for some people, personally works perfect for me but on another hd2 i have available the same build the image doesn't work, so who knows,
and as far as creating threads for problems and questions and answers its a waste of time because they get ignore and dropped down the pages like the thread i made yesterday to help out but nobody uses it or adds any extra info for it, cause it is mainly new people come here for android and they cant be arsed to search for anything and think everything works perfect straight away
@bazgee my point is there is many threads open and closed because you new people just wont search anything

Dude, all these questions have been answered like a 1000 times... Use search! you'll find a solution / answer!
I'm a noob at this.... really, and i had my fair share of hick-ups.. I've researched and read a lot for two days before attempting to install.. This way i knew what my problem would or would not have... I have not asked any questions yet regarding Android errors, please read and research dude... You'll find it!
If not, send me a pvt message and i will search it for you! The mods dont like it if you open these kinds of threads.. Unless you absolutly sure your the only one with this problem..
No offense, just making a point..

Were is the text selection method of Desire in Froyo?
Friends help me if possible, In Desire Build V5 .... to select a portion of text, we have a selection method like iphone, that alowed to stretch and shrink, was better than iphone, because we can send it to google tradutor or even to twitter or email.
Now, in Froyo this method of selection dont work...we have one like WM....and is wast we just can copy!!
For exemple:
How did you select a portion of text to edit bold, italic or underline??
I give my centims to, who can, make the a phrase like mine up with Froyo Darkstone V1 in HD2
Is any option off? or is it a app, which?
if not, it's possible to port the method selection of Desire in Froyo.
thanks

So Im guessing my second question still cannot be answered. Cotulla has said the SOD has been fixed yet where is this fix? GO ON search and then try and call me a noob.
I know for a fine fact there will be loads of users reading this right now agreeing with me and glad that I posted this.

Dude, i'm not calling you a noob, and i'm not dissin you in anyway,
The SOD, came with the latest Zimage from the 25th, dont use this one.. Get the ZImage from the 23rd NO SPEEDY!
If your problem still persists, i suggest you:
- Remove SD and SIM card
- Hard Reset
- Task 29 it
- Put a compatible radio on it, (See my signature for a example)
- Put a decent winrom on it, like Chuckys, Miri or Energy
- Hard reset it again
- Insert Sim and SD card
- Format SD CARD (uncheck quick format)
- Put an Android built on it, with Zimage Nospeedy from the 23rd
- perhaps a Android Loader...
Do this, might take you 30 min overall... and you'll be home free...
Now i've explained it again.. hope this helps and hope you'll research more in the future..
Alright bro, Good luck

maybe It hasnt been released. I know for sure the first few post says the 23rd is the most reliable version. I personally check his uploads daily. I havent seen it.

Zimage of the 25th was released untill everyone started to complain, then Cotulla removed the link...

To the OP.
I agree, some things need to be searched first, and your orig questions have been answered, I also to some extent agree with the you though, things get locked/deleted MUCH to soon.
In my case I searched for 2 days, found nothing, then posted a thread for thoughts and to help the devs of that Img/Kernal out with some info. I doubt they ever saw it because it was locked.
My issues are with the Camera (black screen only) and no Audio in phone calls. (yet i could get audio in EVERYTHING else)And yes, CLRCAD, etc, I know...
I was told to post in the relevent thread, but in my case, there wasn't one. So meh, it happens. I only thought I should have at least had a chance to respond but w/e.

help with android/rom?

hey guys, i think i am trying to to install a new rom. what i am trying to do is dual boot wm 6.5 and android, if thats possible, i have tried searching for stuff, but i get not enough info in some places, and too much in others, here are some links to stuff i have found so far:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
can anyone help me out with this? its a lot of info for me, and i dont know what to do/ look at
i have read all the newbie and noob posts out there, so dont tell me to go read them
id like someone to tell me exactly what to download and how to run it to effectivly get android running on my device, dual boot if possible, id like to keep wm 6.5 but also have android. id also like to have a back up rom that is completly "stock" unless a hard reset will erase everything and put it back to "stock" incase i need to sell the device, or just go back.
im sure i am missing a few things, so any help would be greatly appreciated, i really need to get this done, because as of right now, i am not to happy with my device with just wm 6.5 and i cant afford to take a loss and sell it back...
i also may be wrong with some of my terminology, so what i understand is with dual booting i can run wm 6.5 just like i have now and use CHT and stuff, or i can run an android UI like the real android devices?
like i said, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i really need to get this accomplished,
thanks,
PBLeonidus

come on, now one knows how to get android running on their device?
please, i need help with this!
also, how or where can i get a registry editor? preferably a .cab file?

dont worry i got it working. thanks for all the help from those that posted! (obviously being sarcastic as no one posted anything)
if any one wants to know, i used max energy Co0kie Energy ROM
with the latest froyo stone android file thing
and a dual booter, ran into a few issues, but got it working

So you're bothered by the fact we didn't give you the answers quick enough, to something that you obviously had the ability to work out on your own? That points to the fact you didn't do enough to help yourself, before posting your question...something the rules here specifically address.

i did several hours of searching before i posted this, and after a lot of dead ends and frustration, i posted the question, but i continued to search after i posted, which led me to my answer.
and i dont think you guys get paid anything, i just would have expected at least one person to post something, helpfull or not, i just found it weird that no one said anything, not even "i am interested in this as well" or something like "good luck" that i see in other posts....

There's nothing weird you just don't have enough patience to wait for replies. Anyways, good to see that you actually utilized the search function. There's a dedicated android on hd2 forum here on xda. You should have posted your question there.

We dont. It was sarcasm. Hes saying hes not getting paid to help you, so dont get upset when you dont get an answer... This is the internet. Dont expect things from anyone. Just relax and wait. Sometimes, depending on the question, it can take days, weeks to get an answer. If you need people to hold your hand and wish you luck, try the Disney forum.

it's all good in here man. We all just get a little bit of newbieitis where the only cure is to lash out at the newbs.
There is a lot to learn on this forum and by the time you learn it all, your device is out of date.
It seems you wanted to figure it all out in a night. Been using WinMo for about 2-3years now and I still don't have a clue most of the time.

pbleonidus, if that comment was just tongue-in-cheek, then it's all good, no harm no foul. Those types of comments are near-impossible to tell the difference between light-hearted and just disrespectful....and believe me, we get FAR more of the latter type in here...and that does tend to strike a bit of a raw nerve with those here who go to a lot of effort to help others.
So, a lesson in this for all of us: you're apparently not the type of snarky jerk that we run across so often, and we're not always able to generate answers as quickly as you might expect. Cool? Cool.
I'll get this thread closed for you.

Thread closed as requested.

Sounds like you were trying to revert back to stock. I assume the stuff you are talking about is yellow. If so try to use odin again.

The obvious question to me is, did you try Odin again after it failed? Logic would suggest that if Odin failed I'd have to do it again.

This as well as learning to use Google instead of posting a thread on a forum.

It is because of your tar file on odin.it was two small.try re odin ing it with a tar file of 255 mb or something like that.happened to me before too when I was a super noob but fear not you'll eventually become less of a noob too as time passes

Using google first saves you time because its an immediate response, it saves everyone else time having to an a simple question, and it saves our forums from being cluttered. I said nothing rude and I would have answered his question had it not already been answered (which I highlighted with my quote and saying "this"). If you want to respond to my adult advice and response by acting childish, that is your prerogative but I will continue to post help to those who made an effort to get it.

thats i guess meh cool but a simple reply/explaination would have been "flash odin again" instead of repeating the long rant over and over again too. maybe its jus best to leave this place altogether

Maybe before voiding your warranty and messing with your $500 phone you should do some research and be prepared for the plethora of things that can go wrong.

I believe his point was, however, that before one starts an endeavor that can break a piece of $500 hardware one should generally make sure they understand all of the possible outcomes and how to deal with them which he pointed out that you didn't. He could have said it in a more polite manner but he was correct.

I have ben to this screen when my odin got interupted. Pull the battery for a couple minutes. Hold down the one key on the keyboard and then power on while holding it. This puts you in download mode. Odin back to stock.

It appears I have one thanks or maybe I cant count. More than likely since I dont cry about wanting thanks that could be it. The purpose of a forum is to get help. Regardless if the answer could be found on google the forum would not need to exist. I am on one forum and it is the most mature forum there is. I see question repeated over and over again. Even in this case people still answer it like it was asked the first time. If all forums were like that, forums would be a much better place.

LOL what'd you do, pm someone and ask them to thank you? You def had zero when I posted that. You're right, forums are here for help. It is however a two way street. It seems clear that you think it's one way though. You are clearly here to be helped and not TO help.

I do not understand why it is difficult to simply search for an answer. If you cannot find the answer, then post and people will help. As I've stated I do very often provide detailed explanations to people even to those who had not searched for the answer however I always add that in the future they should seek out the answer on their own first. His question had been answered and as such I stated that he should try and figure things out on his own. I have never begged for a "Thanks" and I could care less about them but I have spent hours of my time helping others fix issues and there are many people who can attest to that. Leatherneck has done the same, in fact he has even helped me a few times that I can think of in recent history. On the other hand, the only posts I've seen from you are complaints about other users or asking other users for help. The point of these forums is to allow a place for developers to gather and together fix and hack away at new phones and such, not to aid in every little personal disaster. That is why it is a FORUM RULE to search. A rule for which violators can receive infringements or even bans. By telling people to search, I am not telling them to shut up I am showing people how to be an active member of this community and if you cannot grasp that then your place here is very limited.

Nom glad to help.why you ask you said thank you

[Q] Rooted - How to Stop OTA

So when I woke up this morning, I noticed that my Xoom was indicating a new update was available for download and install. I am assuming that this would be a bad thing for me to do, since I am rooted with a Tiamat Moray ROM installed.
Correct, as in I should not install updates as they probably wouldn't be compatible with the custom ROMs?
I have seen several posts in other areas (devices) on how to stop this, but there was a different method for each without any real info on whether it worked or not.
Can anyone tell me how to stop the OTA on a Rooted Xoom? Also, should I be concerned about this update? Would it even install if I let it, and what might it jack up?
I know that is a lot of questions, but anything you can provide help with would be appreciated. Thanks

Update will fail.
No harm should be done.

My friend there are like a dozen threads for this also why dont you try checking the Tiamat thread... That would be the best place for an answer to how to stop something with their rom....

What playya is trying to say it's that he doesn't give a rats ass about what you're asking, but he thought it was worthwhile to spend the time answering your query just to tell you that.
It's really simple to get rid of the update nag. Just download the applicable modified build.prop file ( if you can find the right one...), and be mystified as it stops the annoying update pop-up and ****s up other things, like Swype.
-But don't be a total loser by asking about it.

LOL, I don't mind being told to "do my own search" and yes I did watch tbe noob video, but in this case I did do a search first as I stated in my original post. But the information I saw was all over the place, without any definitive answers. So instead of causing an issue with my device by trying each and every one of them, I figured I would ask the expireinced as to which choice was right.
Thank you for the advice Psychokitty. I had seen several people mention the build.prop suggestion, it just didn't seem like the ones I read were having a lot of success with it. I will relook at that option, and check the "Tiamat" thread again to see if there is a build.prop for my version.

I read this forum twice a day, and I still don't get a clear answer to half the things I'm unsure about. Everyone's setup is different, so if you don't know enough to ask really specific questions about what you have working in the way of mods before adding another one, then you end up screwed. If you ask anything general, people become assholes. Of course, if you knew the specifics to ask, you probably would already know the answer to the question yourself.
That's the part some of these clowns don't seem to get.
