I'm not sure where I need to post this info, but I've got some questions and a few bugs which I've found so far. Someone please help/guide me in the right direction.
Im using dan1j3l v1. and jmz dual boot
Problems I'm experiencing:
browsing is slow or has problems,
screen freeze after hitting screen lock button (power button),
when calling using speaker phone sounds distorted and sound will not revert back to normal.
I've searched for the answers, their not easy to find here or I'm just dumb one of the two. So, I'm sorry for the post....

Oh yes, the battery is also an issue. No indication of battery level...

You have to flash the radio, you should check some of the ROM flashing tuts , same thing for flashing a Radio, just make sure it is a compatible Radio or you could have a brand new HD2-PaperWeight ....
HD2 Froyo problems, continued...
Put it on my Indian purchased HD2 after installing the latest (dec 2010) HTC rom updates and...
1) Radio works!!! (never knew I had one)!!
But...
1) Can't set alarms (nothing gets saved)
2) flashlight app only does highest setting (other are off)
First, to all that have created and contributed to this site, Thank you.
Now I know I'm new here and I'm probably going to get murdered for posting this but I'm completely out of ideas. I've tried searching everywhere and I can't find any answers. I tried flashing the Axura 2.1 and 2.2 roms and my GPS stopped working completley. I've tried using several different modems with the roms. I tried flashing the macnut roms and had the same result.
I've tried searching but there are so many gps problem thread that I can't find the answer(unless I'm skipping over it). So now I'm hoping that somebody will be able to help me out.
Sorry for my ignorance but I really am desperate cause I really wanna get this $500 phone working like one
this needs to be in Q&A, but; ODIN to JFD/JI6, then run the GPSRestore app from the market. If your phone's GPS still doesnt work, then it's the GPS hardware.
I've run GPS on all TW roms, and each one locks quick and accurate.
JL5 and JL5 GPS are spot on.

I don't think you're going to get murdered for posting a question. It just needs to be in the right forum. Next time please post questions in the Q&A forum to keep the Dev forum clutter free.
As far as your problem goes, when you say not working is your gps seeing satellites and just not locking or not seeing any at all.
Is your roof made of solid tinfoil???
Just kidding, but seriously, Odin back to JFD or some other 2.1 firmware and download GPS restore or something like that from the market and go stand OUTSIDE and test it.
If this fails, then you have faulty hardware. Send it to Samsung.

exactly. or your house or where ever you are is getting bad GPS signal. my gps worked flawlessly for a while now. it's just with newer modems, they lock faster.
I had similar issues to what you describe. My GPS would not work with any ROM combination. Sometimes I could see satellites but I would never get a lock. Tried anything with no luck. Finally- I did three things, and I can't tell you for certain which fixed it- but at the end it was fine.
First thing was I followed the hardware fix guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970 and then I installed a JL4 ROM (I hear JL5 works great too), left settings as stock and made sure Server FQDN Type was set to Auto config instead of www.spirent-lcs.com. Then I went outside and waited like 10 minutes in LbsTestMode "Get Position Test". Now my GPS works!
I haven't had a real problem with the GPS ever since JI2, and the GPS performance in the Froyo-based ROMs is even better. If it's not working for you at all, then you need to exchange your phone for a new one. You should be able to arrange that with T-Mobile at not extra cost to you.
If you bought your phone through T-Mobile you need to contact them. Jump through their hoops and get a replacement ordered.
Sorry for not putting this in the right forums. If a mod has to move it....
This is exactly whats happening. Whether I'm outside or not, the little gps icon blinks but it says my location is temporarily unavailable. I don't think its hardware cause this is a brand new phone that was working yesterday before I installed the ROM. Thanks for the suggestions. Some more are welcomed
no rom or modem fixed my gps completely till i was on eugene's ginger clone r2 and flashed the JL5 Modem WITHOUT doing the Samsung GPS restore from the market. In fifteen seconds i was locked with less than 10m.

This is a brand new phone. Its my 3rd one in lest than a week. This GPS was working to some extent right before I installed the Axura rom. I just did a the GPS restore and now it still won't lock onto my position but it will do the navigation(poorly just like before) to a spoken destination with voice guidance. If I ask it for a map of something it will bring those destinations up also. I'm at a complete loss but I do like this ROM better than Eclair.
samsung restore isn't in the market anymore.
Can someone upload the .apk please ?
Thanks

Hi guys, I have a rooted Bolt currently running 1.70.605.0. I rooted when i got it back in May and since then I installed a rooted update of Froyo. The phone has been dropping network connection a lot lately that it's very aggrevating. I am thinking it may help fix my problem if I update to Gingerbread with the new radio.
i downloaded the file 2.11.605.3.zip from the TeamBamF.net site last night but now I am sort stuck. It's been so long since I rooted this phone so I kinda need some help. I search everywhere but haven't found a thread where there is like a step by step direction. If someone can provide me some assistance or point me to the right thread I would so much appreciate it.

The data dropping out may be due to some work/upgrades in your area ... call VZW to see if they know anything.
As far as updating to GB, my advice is tread lightly ... especially if you're just wanting a stock version of it. There are bugs, the biggest being voice mail notifications not working, that may drive you nuts. That being said, there are several custom ROMs around that have fixes/tweaks that make this plagued GB build VZW & HTC released much more manageable. Look around and there are a few "stock" custom ROMs out there - or if you prefer a totally different look/feel there are several Sense 3.0 ports to choose from too.
As far as a how-to guide, the best one I've seen is THIS ONE. Read it and get knowledge my friend
Happy flashing!
2.11.605.3.zip is the [gb] patch - "It changes camera libs, and some insignificant
framework, and apks." as stated on teambamf.net, i did read it is running smooth,
increased battery life but,with issues pertaining to vm notification error and front facing camera
upside down. i agree with Yank talk with carrier, im currently running dasBAMF Forever
kernel 2.6.35.10 stock radios have had no issues.

Can you link me to that download? I would like to see exactly what you are making reference to before I comment.
Some of those update .zips are the full unrooted rom. You wouldn't want to flash that. You want to make sure and look for something like...
"Rooted Debloat Blah Blah Blah"
The link provided by Yank is a good one. #3 for "Flashing a Rom".
Also another hint (just in case you are unfamiliar with recovery). the camera buttons toggle up/down and the power button is used to make a selection. you can select "go back" by toggling to it and selecting it or you can use the soft back key.
hope that helps.
As to the voicemail issue, Eris has fixed that. Took him 30 minutes, he said.

http://teambamf.net/showthread.php/718-How-to-flash-a-ROM
Hey everyone. New to XDA, new to ROMS and new to rooting in general. Played around with my galaxy s2 SGH-i777 ALL day yesterday and finally settled in running Shep211's Miui 2.1.6 with Siyah's 2.6.6 att kernel. All was well in my world!... until I tried to make a call.
When I dial a call it vibrates when it connects and the timer starts, but, no audio. Before you yell at me for not researching this, I have as much as I could bear (about 60 pages worth of posts) and all I had found was that some people were having this issue, but were able to solve it by using a headset, or speakerphone. My problem is that I am not able to use this workaround, as it still produces no sound.
I flashed the ROM after doing a full wipe/clear/cache reset. I used the GalaxyS2ATTZedomax kernel to root and flash Miui 2.1.6, and then I flashed the Siyah's 2.6.6 att kernel.
I am absolutely in love with Miui and Shep211's work on this ROM, but my question is just, is the issue I am having a known issue? Or am I the only one still having this problem? And if so are there any suggestions? I noticed in the most recent 2.1.6 changelog it said "fixed audio issue" but it's not clear to me what that pertains to. Thanks!

ANY responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, folks.
sounds like you somehow flashed a bad (or I9100) modem
Download rock rats kk6 modem. Search for the thread. It's in development. Make sure you use the ones for cm7.
One time at football camp i put my shoulder pads in my ass
Thanks for the reply! I will look into flashing a modem for my SGH-i777 and see if that works! Now... just to find one! hehe. I am so new at all of this, but I have to admit it's fun!
VICTORY! Flashed RocketRatt's KK6 modem for CM7 and now works like a charm! Thanks guys!
Help
I'm also having the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2 I777 Mobile.
Not able to hear the Call Voice ....
Could you please give me the steps that you followed to resove the issue.
Thanks,
Rag.
where can i dowload RocketRatt's KK6? i can't find it anywhere

The dreaded face unlock bug. I have been experiencing this for several days now, on and off with no particular rhyme or reason. I'll explain the bug. I press the power key to enable the phone, after 2 or 3 seconds the camera comes on, this is where is gets sticky. Sometimes it does not recognize me (like if I have my glasses on, or a hat) and gives me the keyboard to enter the pin. Other times it just dies, picture still on the screen, no combination of buttons unfreezes the phone, I have to yank the battery and start all over again.
I am rooted running Phone Bricker 2.1, stock kernel, and everything else, although I was going to try a different modem, apparently in my area a different modem works better.
I've seen numerous posts on the international version of our phone but nothing for the I-777, do I have a phone problem, or is this just an expected errata from running 'leaked' software?
Also are there any fixes anyone is aware of? I love the face unlock feature and I guess I could disable it.
One clue that might shed some light on the subject, as soon as I unlock my phone, if I use the pull down menu and mess with Wifi at all, the phone all but dies. It does recover but it takes awhile.
Thanks for any insight or a link I missed.
And happy Easter!

Phone-Bricker is not based on the leak, its from i9100 LP3 (o2 carrier) base.
Not sure what the face unlock bug is but I tried it before without any problems.
Try using Entropy's latest kernel named Zombie Ass!
I am running Phone Bricker and also use the Face Unlock feature, with no problems whatsoever. But then, I've only had my phone since Friday.

I was able to find the Kernel, thanks again.
Thank you my friend.

Were you over/under clocking?
I don't think the ICS kernels support that. I would get the same problem with the slide unlock screen, and all I did was change the governor, using the stock frequencies.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
Well I had SetCPU installled, but the Kernel does not support overclocking so I saw no need for the application and removed it.
I started from scratch, I did a factory wipe/ cleared Dalvik cache and reinstalled the ROM, both versions 2.0.1 and 2.1, also the mail fix. I installed the modem that shows the best performance where I live now, and also installed Entropy's new Kernel (again at least from a cursory look it maxxes out at 1.2 GHz)
I'll know more after today, I'll post here tonight after work and we'll see how things are going now.
Wink
Well face unlock seemed to work perfectly, i'll chock it up to some strange code bug.
Odd thing my mic out would not work all day, however connected to headphones here at home it's working fine. I guess it could be the radio at work or a co-worker who is sick of my music who borked it so I can't use my phone as an MP3 player.
Overall I gotta say I am extremely happy.
Thanks all for your help!
Wink
Great thread title.
Thread title added.
I noticed I omitted it and tried to add it after the fact....
No such luck, sorry.
Hi LiLChris06 - Is the face unlock an app? If so do you think it would work on your gingerbread 2.3.6 rom?
Thanks
