Hi - I am brand new here and have spent a couple of days working out a couple of problems I have had with Thunderbolt ROM V2 Jelly Bean. The first problem I had was no sound coming from the Samsung S2 dock, I read around tried a few different solutions but nothing worked. I did happen to find an excellent Playstore App called 'Dock Sound Redirector' and this did the job for me.
However, after leaving for some shopping today I have found a major problem with the ROM which is that I cannot receive a data signal for most of my apps, except strangely - Facebook. I get connection errors on my news apps, flipboard fails, twitter fails etc. So this is a major problem and defeats the purpose of having a smart phone.
I have an international Galaxy S2.
So - so far I have flashed the radio with at least 3 different zips and nothing has worked. I downloaded a network switch tool that allowed me to better access the protocols such as CDMA, GSM and so on. No effect.
Has anyone had the same issue and has any ideas about solving this one?
On install I just took the default kernel (although I have no idea what that means) which was the dream kernel.
Really appreciate it.

Hey people need your help in regards to an internet/phone issue which has me stumped.
Ive recently flashed a couple of ROMs just to see what they were like and since then have had issues in regards to not being able to connect to the web...well not being able to 99% of the time.
(This is where i need a Jedi MAster)
Ive flashed about 30 ROMs onto my SII with no problems as of today!
Ok first, the two ROMS i flashed were Rarity and then Turkbeyv's, did full factory reset on both, wiped all data from cache and Dalvik and then formatted memory card just to be sure.
I then went back to Criskelo's v30 then updated to v31 as it was uploaded and i thought this may rectify the problems ive been having.
Disc: THIS IS BY NO MEANS ME BLAMING THE MENTIONED ROMS FOR THE ISSUES IM HAVING,ALL OF WHICH I THOUGHT WERE OUTSTANDING,i just cant help but be a Flashing addict lol
PLEASE REFER TO INCLUDED PIC:
A - cant seem to clear this battery image,informing of full charge,battery percentages always stay high on top right indicator then suddenly drops to low percentage.
B - Am showing HSDPA but unable to connect to the web using default browser, firefox although can conect using Dophin HD, first time i managed a connection via Dolphin which again is probably once in 10 times of trying, when i managed a connection it was pittifully slow,worse than EDGE (yes im that old).
I knew i had a problem with the connection when tryin to log into my google account,using the other mentioned ROMs, it just wont let me, unless im using WIFI.
All web based apps from Facebook, Google and the Market simply wont connect to the server,as for all other connected apps the ou come is the same...
C - The other issue i have is apps appearing and then disapearing or saying uninstalled.
Having finally managing a connection using Dolphin HD i noticed an icon had been placed on my homescreen?
also having problems with contacts, ive been using AContacts from the market and when i use the default contact app, they both force close stating "android.process.acore" error, any ideas?
SOooo these are my issues people, thanks in advance for any help given, please note that im not a coder but can follow step by step instructions if given.
I hope to hear from you all shortly
Alex
I have read thru a few threads, but they all vary so I am not sure if this is the same issue so i apologize in advance if there is a thread with an answer somewhere...I certainly hope it is not a hardware issue!!...ugh..
I recently flashed Nottach's ROM to my Atrix 4G (excellent ROM!) and was in the process of loading apps and "fine tuning" it to my style and preference when I noticed that my WiFi, Bluetooh and Data are no longer working. I didnt install anything other than a couple of apps that I have been using (GoLauncher, ADW Locker, etc.) so I am not sure why everything stopped working.
I can still make and receive calls and text messages, but I am unable to connect to WiFi ( it sees WiFi signals but it doesnt get past "Obatining IP Address"). Bluetooh enables and disables right away. And I dont see any activity from the Data icon.
I have tried reflashing the ROM, Factory Reset, Wiping Partition/Dalvik, Resetting Permissions, etc. but none of these seem to have an effect on the issue.
I have seen other posts in various forums where some one mentions similar issues and they talk about flashing the antenna via RSD to get it to work, but links to the antenna ROM all seem to be broken.
Any help in getting this resolved would be GREATLY appreciated!
FYI - My phone is Unlocked and I believe it is still Rooted.
Thanks!
Well.. after playing around with reinstalling the ROM I set the Kernal back to Stock AT&T and everything appears to be working again.
So I think the fact that I was using the Faux 1.3Ghz kernal may have caused the issue, which is odd since everything was working fine for about a day before the problem started happening.
Oh well.. i will play around with different kernals to see if there may be a compatability issue some where.
Hopefully this info helps others.
Hi there - wondering if anyone else has experienced this or can help me. Have seen some similar-ish threads dating back many months but nothing exactly seems to answer this
Until last week, the GPS on my S2 was working fine. Always locked pretty quickly etc.
But for the last week or so, I cannot seem to get a GPS fix AT ALL. I have tried restarting, clearing the aGPS data, etc. etc.
I have installed GPS Status and GPS Aids from the marketplace as recommended in some places. GPS Status shows many satellites being detected in grey, but nothing locks on to them. My phone is not rooted so I have not tried to alter settings etc. as yet, as not really sure this is the problem as I have not changed anything recently. (Could t-mobile have done something on their end that is causing it maybe.. ??)
I am running stock ICS on t-mobile.
Any illumination anyone could offer would be most appreciated!
many thanks
Have you flashed any rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Even if it was a carrier update, no need to be a custom rom.
I use GPS-Test to "test" my GPS, can you please install it tell us what is the biggest SNR you get?
I think you will only get a lock if you have at least 3 sats with SNR above 30.

i was using gps status and aid like you did. didnt work till i tried gps test plus.
Many thanks for all the replies
@arc Have not flashed a ROM, just using stock ROM which got upgraded automatically to ICS from gingerbread a few months ago
@zedread Installed GPS Test and tried it briefly just now. Get 7-9 satellites with SNRs of between 20 and 40. All of them stay grey and none of them get used for locking. This is similar to what I have seen in GPS status etc. (i.e. it seems to find satellites but does not proceed to try and lock any of them...all of them always stay grey)
@happily can you advise what it is in GPS Test Plus that helped? Just got the free version at the moment.
Anyone have any more ideas?
Many thanks
Try FasterFix from Google Play Store.....good luck.

Hi everyone!
So I've been Google and forum-scouring for about 2 days without much success (keeping in mind I don't understand much of the technical jargon).
I have a Samsung Fascinate i500 from Verizon, running on PagePlus Cellular with AOKP 4.2.2 ROM installed and generally have loved it. Coming from EH03, the new ROM has completely turned around and vastly improved the usability of the phone, and I am very grateful.
I have had a few problems, however, that I can't seem to figure out. Perhaps someone can instruct, in layman's terms?
1) I do not receive MMS at all. The message shows up in the notification window, but when I open it up in either the default messaging app or Verizon Messages it disappears. I have turned on my data and turned off Wifi, replaced some XML files and re-installed the ROM. No such luck.
2) Yesterday I lost the abilitiy to send and receive SMS as well. I re-installed the ROM and now everything is fine, but I really would like to know what I could have potentially done wrong to avoid it in the future. I contacted PagePlus Customer Support who walked me through several trouble shooting steps and it seems the problem is the hardware and not the service.
3) Bluetooth simply connects to nothing. I have a stereo in my car that connects to the speakers for hands-free talking which worked seamlessly on Gingerbread. However the two pieces of hardware no longer as much as detect each other. I found no one else who had this problem. Are my Google skills really that bad?
4) I have been using Fusion as my default music player and randomly yesterday, all my music stopped showing up (stored on a 32gb UH-1 SanDisk microSDHC card). After re-installing the ROM, everything is back to normal. Is this a problem in the app, in the ROM, or in the user?
Thanks so much in advance for helping out a n00b!
Bump. I'm also not getting speakerphone sound. Help?

Thanks for the advice. I gave it a whirl and it seems to have corrected most of the problems.
I'm still not getting any speakerphone sound during calls though and I just found out I'm also not receiving notifications about new voicemails…there goes that job interview.
Any suggestions?

Them are 4.2.2 problems I suggest running a 4.0.4 ics from there the faster more stable and honestly I like the looks better its all black instead of that ugly grey.

That could be a bug in the build but idk, bbrad is right the ICS builds are more stable, I don't use my fascinate much but to play music but I'm running Paranoid Android and it seems pretty stable and running well with devil kernel(includes cwm inside the zip).PA includes twrp recovery. Hope this helps

The notification problem is with android 4.2.x itself and the fact that their target phone base are those with 4g lte capability,,, which of course we don't have,, but it's coded that way and causes those phones with 3g only to hang during the voicemail process...
One of the best workarounds is to install Google Voice, there are also others in the play store that offer "voicemail notification",,, but not many have mentioned them in the fassy forums,,, but i skimmed through one day and reviews looked good. Some people don't like the Google monopoly, but it doesn't bother me, i use what i need and enjoy the integration
Another option is the GeeWiz ROM he has patched his to fix the problem of sorts,
He offered the patch, i believe, to cm and others but they never really seemed to latch onto the fix that I'm aware of..
.
That random music not showing up issue happened to me twice, except it was on CM10.1 nightlies. I am downgrading to ICS as of today, but sometimes the phone screws up reading the SD card. What i did was:
1. reboot
2. unmount SD card in Settings>storage
3. remove SD card (take off battery cover, the slot's in there)
4. reinsert the card
5. wait for around 2 minutes
6. reboot
7. go to the music app (I had Apollo) and see if your library is there
8. if it isn't there, force close the app and go through those steps again
it only happened twice over the course of two weeks. just make sure everything's clean and you're set.
Hi, posting here to broaden the net a little. I have carbon ROM that i am fairly sure allowed simultaneous voice and data. I.e when making a call on Bluetooth in the car, data for Google maps stayed active. Now that doesn't work but I am sure this worked since the froyo days. I'm trying to pinpoint the cause.
I have sgs2 and tried three different radios with and without ril, nelp3, nelp4, and nels1, but no change to behaviour . But My wife's sgs3 is on vodafone uk and also drops data connection when making phone calls. (Seen by H/3g logo disappearing and being unable to use data when making calls).
We think it's recent but unsure if it's the ROM or something else.
Would appreciate if someone on another rom on a Samsung phone or two can check for me before I restore a backup to check myself.
Also any ideas how to debug?
Thank you
Chris
P.s already tried different and included kernels on both phones.

I am hoping to find the answer to this is Carbon related (CM10.1 vs 10.2 branches maybe?) and not specific to devices. Could you post this thread on the Dev page for that ROM? That way the Devs for the ROM know about it... and may be able to find the solution. Fingers crossed!
