I have a fascinate I have been playing with since development started almost for it.
I just went to JT's VGB v.6, and I have no market. Before when I was using his v.4 I had no issues. Now after switching to v.6 I can not pull up my market to save my life, and there are a few apps I am needing from it.
I can log, do whatever anyone may ask, if someone can help.
I will give a few basic stats in my phone info so it makes it easier.
Android Version- 2.3.5
Baseband Version S:i500.04 V.EC09
Kernel- 2.6.35.7-g70250c3
[email protected] #1
Rom Version- Vanilla_Gingerbread-v6
Build Number- GRJ90
If anyone knows of a known market issue, feel free to chime in.
Have you tried to re flash gapps?
good day.
Reflashed gapps....can not believe I didn't think to try that.
Go ahead and stamp me with a dunce logo....geez.

Is there a difference in what Baseband you have to use with StreakDroid 1.9.0? Does using a certain Baseband matter as if it would change the speed in downloading or wifi use? I'm just curious as if running the latest Basebands would make a difference in any way..
Not that i can think of. The recommended baseband for 1.9 is 318 though.
Why is it recommended though? No one ever says lol.
Good Question.. I never asked it coz da rom was free..hehe
Jokes apart - I think its got to do with using the most stable radio version to ensure all func work correctly.
To be honest i don't even know what the 3-number combinations mean, when i look at the baseband on my phone it's a long number, the information on this forum needs a glossary or something -.-
Thanks for the responses.. It's not really clear to me which baseband is the most stable or proper one.. Others state to use 345 baseband while the original post states to use 318.. Just wanted a little more clarification on this.. I've used both and haven't really noticed much of a difference or maybe its just me..
Good morning everyone
Seems to be that my GSII has serious issues running his stock rom (continuous reboots, not-working 3g etc.). I tried several factory resets, but nothing worked 100% . CM fixes some of my problems, but the only full-working custom rom is MIUI, that seems to be stable and very neat. Despite that I still prefer the custom rom (yes I'm probably insane), or a more traditional one like CM and I really would like to understand what kind of problems can generate such a massive amount of errors and reboots.
Could be a hardware problem? MIUI works fine, I can't explain why I still got problems with other ROMs.
Sorry for my bad English, thanks in advance
Without telling us the version of the stock rom you are using, we can never give you any answers.
I'm currently using
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2 Kernel
Gingerbread.xwkj3 Build
That's not the original stock ROM, just one I found (here on xda I guess...)
Is there some kind of hardware-check I can run by myself, just for exclude manifacturing defects?
if you want to check to exclude hardware defects, u could go to the dialer and press *#0*# .. it will give u a list of tests which allows u to pinpoint any hardware defects ( if it exists) .... but if the problem is with the 3g, you could reflash your modem..
Initial problems were strictly connected with 3g's use, after a few hours of use i've noticed slowdowns using sms, then it started crashing and random rebooting. That's the same reason why I initially switched from original ROM to CM. I mean, I know that Samsung's ROM is not the best one at all, but I can't figure why it's so instable on my device.

As that the oldest stock rom try a newer one .

Updating: now my GSII works with latest stable Cyanogen, except for the 3g that's still not working. Should I reflash modem, as suggested by roophz?
That old kernel is known to cause random reboots.
Update to a newer stock rom.

Update 2: I switched from the old stock rom to the latest cyanogen stable version, then to a newer stock rom and then back to MIUI again. Still no life signals from 3g.
How is that possible?
Is battery life.better on 1.3.2? I am using gokhan 2.3.7 with unnamed 1.3.2 at the moment. Are there any advantages to new unnamed Tom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
UnNamed v1 is KH7 based while v2 is KK6 based. That being said, 1.3.2 won't have the battery drain issues associated with KK6 that v2 will have. Entropy512 details the KK6 firmware bug a little bit in his known identified battery drainers thread.
Nitox, i saw from your signature that you are on 1.3.2. I work in a place that has low signal and usually prefer to stay on wifi all day but I have noticed more drain on wifi than on data. Have you tried 2.2.1?
I'm just debating if I should go to the KH7 version of unnamed.
Any opinion or imput?
I did switch to v2 when gtg released it, but ran into the wifi associated battery drain issue every once in a while (which drained 6-7% per hour overnight). It was stable for the most part but I decided to revert back to 1.3.2 to avoid the issue entirely, especially since I didn't notice any real functional difference between the two.
Solution to your problem maybe?
Interesting thread... so should there still be wifi drain if we install 2.2.1, but then flash the KH7 modem on instead? I personally see quite a bit of wakelock with this setup but i don't know if it is more than is normal.
I guess I dont really understand whether KK6 is somehow built into 2.2.1, or if it is a completely separate entity that just comes with the rom.
Every ROM is based on a certain version of Android (KH7, KK6, etc). What this means is that the developer creates the ROM with that version installed. KH7 is the version of Android that was shipped with the phone, so everyone who bought the phone was running KH7. So at the time that gtg first started developing UnNamed (ie. UnNamed 1.x.x), he was building his ROM off of KH7.
After the KK6 source was leaked, he finalized v1 with UnNamed 1.3.2 and released UnNamed 2.0.0 based on KK6.
I don't think the KK6 bug is modem-related: I'm actually running the KK6 modem on 1.3.2 and haven't come across the wifi bug. I don't know much about the root of the problem, but I'm assuming it has to do with some coding issues within KK6 itself. This thread has some more details about the bug.
[EDIT]
I'm not going to pretend like I'm an expert on the bug. In fact, I know barely anything about it, besides the fact that it exists, is KK6 related, and that I've experienced it before. Reverting back to 1.3.2 was mostly just me heeding Entropy's advice to abandoning KK6 and avoid the problem entirely.
[/EDIT]
Correct me if I am wrong but here is the way I understand the versions. There are three variables at play here: the modem (KK6, KH7, ect.), the Android version (2.3.4, 2.3.5, etc.) , and the kernel version.
I asked about WiFi performance in another thread in Q&A and Entropy responded saying WiFi is controlled by kernel and Android version. The WiFi bug is actually associated with the Android Version 2.3.6. Avoiding rom's based on this version will ensure you do not encounter this bug.
I currently have UnNamed 1.3.2, which is based on Android 2.3.4, running Entropy's latest kernel and I have had better battery life than compared to running 2.3.6 based roms (UnNamed 2.2.1 and SHOstock 1.8.1).
My advice for best battery performance: find a rom based on Android Version 2.3.4, flash Entropy's latest kernel, and choose a modem that works best in your area.

I'm fairly sure it's a bug with only samsung builds, namely KK6

Yeah it's a samsung build problem but what I mean is that it's a bug that is found in the Android 2.3.6 build provide by samsung.
Thanks everyone, it all makes sense now! Especially great explanation by nitox.n2o ... still trying to figure out how to use the "thank" function in these forums
Ill try 1.3.2 and see if that helps with my wakelocks! Its probably also due to the fact that I have poor reception at work and my phone is trying to constantly trying to find the best cell-tower to use

Please just read the threads and try all the ROMs, there is really no other way to go about this.
Thanks
