ok....i had the 6.5 update that was accidently leaked out on my phone. things i experienced with it.
battery life was short
keyboard pops up when new txt is rcvd - very annoying
constant erros about data connection
backlight stays on for a long time when phone is not used
very bad lag
so...tmobile finally put the actual release out on their site about the update. i installed that yesterday. phone seems fine and not doing any of the above.
but i noticed that i am unable to get certain apps that i use to have on there to work. it would look like it is starting up but then it doesn't.
i really want to use these apps on my phone. does anyone know why i am unable to?

any help? ..........................
Last I saw the T-Mobile update was exactly the same as the leaked one... So the problems you are experiencing are odd???? I still have the leaked Rom and it works fine without the issues you describe. The Only time my battery life is shortened is when using the internet features and/or leave the screen on... for example I left wifi sharing on the other day... I was at 50% 2 hours later... so I turned it off, 10 hours later I was at 30% not too bad!

Yes I believe it's been confirmed that the "leaked" T-mo upgrade ROM was bit-for-bit identical to the final (official) release, verified by matching checksums.
However, when the upgrade was first making the rounds here, there were numerous reports of odd issues that would pop up for people after the initial flashing of the ROM...and the solution was just to re-flash it again. Amazingly, doing a 2nd flash of the same ROM seemed to clear up quite a few of the oddball problems that people were seeing.
I'm afraid though I don't have any idea why those last 2 apps aren't working for you following the upgrade...?
Woah, warning about WMLongLife...
It F*CKED up my 3G connection bad. It wouldn't automatically switch to 3G when I was coming into a 3G area from a GPRS/EDGE area and it was almost impossible to get the original setting back. I'd stay far away from that app if I was you.
The other app, I'm not familiar with. Where is the original post of that?
So I recently got CM6 on my Touch Pro and right now I'm using the market and it's downloading at an appallingly slow rate D: It's roughly 10KB/s or perhaps slower. Did I do anything wrong here? :<

Nope. Wifi just sucks. It's always one of the reasons why Android always locks up for me, actually.
*crai*
So, wifi on Android just sucks? :< It's better on WinMo though, which I don't really get.
Since wifi is painfully slow on Android, how else would I get applications on it? A much faster method xD
Wifi seems fine for me... Faster than 3g, which is all I really ask for when using it...
I take it you're using a TP too >.< Whaiii *cries*

Maybe because you're not using a RAPH. A search in the thread would show that other people have the problem, and not just me lol...
i haven't noticed any wifi issues with the builds. always faster than 3g for me.

I said I used a RAPH previously... I've only had the RHOD for about a month now, had a RAPH for 2 years before that. So I'm not just shooting off the hip assuming... I ran XDAndroid on my RAPH for a loooooong time.
Well uhm, I'm using a Touch Pro but that's as far as I know. Perhaps I used a wrong startup? What would I use instead?
nothing there will make a difference.
do a test. using the regular browser (not opera or anything) goto mobilespeedtest.com or speedtest.net and do a test and see what it tells you. would help if you also have a computer on the same router to test against.
you can test 3g and wifi and your computer to see the differences in speed.

Annndd.. there's probably a good chance this will get ignored because "it works for me".
Perhaps wifi is unstable on the 110, but I seriously doubt it. Besides, that dude is talking about the radio finding new towers, what does that have to do with wifi?
I find the radio is unstable as well. I actually thought it was just a CDMA thing. I thought we were talking about slow wifi speeds tho... Now I'm just confused.

i think you are starting to get confused here. are we still talking about wifi or have we moved on to 3g now?
honestly almost nothing here is truely stable. our ril still needs alot of work and that is what talks with the towers.
wifi however shouldn't have any real issues. wifi is working on every model of the supported devices and as you can see, this is the first thread regarding wifi issues.
the wifi is supported by the kernel. kernel changes shouldn't make a difference as the wifi drivers haven't changed. however the devs are trying to get hopspot support working which may impact wifi. if you are having issues, report a bug.

It's both wifi and 3G that's unstable for me. Anytime I use the internet through either method, the phone has weird issues. It's easily reproduced.

what type of issues? system rebooting into android? rebooting into winmo? force closes? radio crashes?
i do not want to blame the device but my g/f who just gave me her diamond had alot of issues running xdandoird. come to find out her phone had issues in general and had nothing to do with xdandroid.
this may or may not be a similar issue to your. that will be for you to let us know.
if you have the time, rename your data.img to data.img.bak and launch haret.exe. it will build a new data.img and from there run the same basic tasks that cause issues for you now. since our build is still in the "building it" stage, some apps will cause issues without you noticing. the only real way to tell if an issue is the system or if it is an installed app is to test it with a clean system to see how things come out. this doesn't always solve the problem and if it does not let us know.
your said you have a raph110, Stinebd who is one of the main developers on this project has a raph110 so if there are any real issues with xdandroid and that device, it will be known. as such i have not heard from him with any real stability issues using the radio or the wifi (i believe he no longer has service on the device however).
if your one of the luck cdma users there are more issues as there are no real devs working on the cdma side of things for our devices. there are alot of radio stability issues as the ril is not complete and is a hacked hack version of the gsm radio made to work on the cdma network.
hope this makes sense.
Sowwy D: Was moving and getting new ISP's. Horrible wait :<
Anywho, for all those going "It works for me" Yeah well... It doesn't. I'm getting 14mbps wireless, but on the phone I'm getting 84kbps which is... Odd. I'm currently using the SuperFroyo port. I've had experience with the xdandroid version and it's wi-fi was actually pretty good compared to this. Kernels perhaps?
Issue 1: Multitouch issue
- As far as I'm aware of, there is no fix yet and a lot of people are experiencing the issue. What happens is whilst in landscape mode, sometimes, if one finger is placed at the bottom left of the screen, and another is placed on the bottom right, it'll fail to recognize the second touch (bottom right). This doesn't always occur, but does happen at times.
Simple fix: Lock the screen, then unlock it
Issue 2: Wifi consistently dropping
While downloading files, or sometimes even watching youtube videos, the wifi icon will disappear for a split second, then come back and an error will appear along the lines of " File could not be downloaded due to an error" or in the case of the market, it'll just stop downloading and give an error.
Fix: Sadly, the only fix that I have found so far for this issue is to get a new router. See my post here I used a Linksys WRT300N
EDIT: Another potential fix is to change some settings with the router but I'm not sure exactly what settings are needed to be changed.
EDIT2: I've created an issue about the wifi issue over here and according to [email protected]:
Im assuming you are downloading huge files using WiFi... there is a notorious bug still unresolved on DHCP leasing time. If your route is settled to infinite (0 or ffffffff) a local timeout of few minutes is applied, thus the download broke and resume time by time because dhcp renewal. To fix this try to adjust your route settings indicating a discrete leasing time (i.e. 24 hours or 2 days) and thi should fix this specific issue (also noticeble when watching youtube videos, that may freeze after few minutes).
Hope this helps.

Hey everyone,
I have had my Galaxy Nexus from Bell for a few days now, and it is a beast Everything runs smoothly, no lag (even with live wallpaper) and helps me accomplish everything I need from a mobile device ( a hell of a lot better than the milestone - international version of the Droid)
However, there are some prominent issues throughout the device.
1.) The wifi constantly times out, it will stop working at random times even if im 1-2 ft away from the router. Also, when I was downloading SD files for a game (asphalt 6 - 524mb file i think), i had to restart the download at least 10-15 times to finally get it to download. Is this a hardware issue? Can this be fixed through a software update
2.) The multitouch doesn't work at random times. For me, whether its plugged into the charger or not, at random times, when you touch the left side of the device in landscape mode, the device will not recognize touch inputs on the right side. HOWEVER, if you lock the screen, then unlock it, it works flawlessly. I am determined this is a software bug (may not be though) and if it isn't could someone please tell me? Thanks. And a lot of people also have this issue : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385587

I have two question for you awesome people at XDA.
1.) Could someone please either post an issue to Google regarding these two issues or direct me to a website where I can post them?
2.) Could any of these be a hardware issue? Do you think I should return it and get another one?
Thanks so much guys,

Would also like to know if the second problem is software related or not :/
EDIT: noticed now that my screen gets really hot at the top. Really hot! Does your get warm aswell?
Don't know. The easy fix is to swap it.

I've been having WiFi trouble with the Nexus too - the phone generally seems to get poorer signal in comparison to my other devices. I've unticked this box, but it still keeps avoiding connecting (and when I go to WiFi settings, actually says it's avoiding connecting to my network because the connection is poor). It's frustrating, to say the least.
Rather than immediately assume that you should swap the phone, or thinking it's hardware, or (?).
What build do you have? There are at least 3 builds available for the SGN.

Seriously people need to stop making such a big deal of these separate builds.
WiFi could be an issue with the router. I had a problem where connecting Nexus to the router would cause both mine and other users internet in the network fail. Once I disconnected, internet returned. It worked on first few loads, then not anymore. Strange thing is that it fixed itself few weeks later.
(Same happened once with another router and when I was using HTC Desire, Android seems to be a wacky WiFi partner)

Not this. If its software you end up with another phone with the same problem.
You may find other radios help with wifi, check the dev section for details if you have a rooted device. Otherwise youll probably need to wait for one of them to drop via an official ota.
As others have said, uncheck the weak wifi option
In terms of the multitouch issue, just tested my device and can't see any issues at all. Could be software related as the screen itself can support 10inputs - be interesting for users on non standard roms to check and see if they do have a problem as this may lend some weight towards the software related argument.

I get #2 in shadow gun if it goes into sleep mode while i'm playing. Its clearly a software issue as restarting the game it goes away.
Point 1 happens to me too. I've tried multiple ROM's. I'm getting a bit worried that it's hardware. It's dropping every few mins when I need it... then it comes back rather quick.
You have any news or has anyone else experienced it?
I'm not seeing a ton of people talk about this wifi problem, so I'm guessing it's not a widespread issue. I'm assuming it's not hardware either, but I'm curious about it. Whenever I turn on wifi on the Nexus and it tries to connect to my router, it disables all other connections, and the Nexus reports that it's not in range of the router. I'm interested in what routers people are using that are experiencing this issue.
I have a D-Link DI-624, a free router provided by Verizon with FIOS signup. I'm using a custom password, not the one that came with the device. I have a 13 digit alphanumeric password (sorry, I can't remember the exact security setting for it).
Edit: Actually been doing some research on this, and it's appearing it may be a frequency / channel issue, that the phone is broadcasting at a frequency similar to your router. Looking into exact fixes at the moment.
I have no problem with wifi and multi touch.
But I noticed that two fingers cannot be very closely touched it will mingle together. For example if you hold shift button on keyboard it could act like normal shift (turn lowercase to upper or vice versa) but its very difficult to use shift + a
Also lots of games exiting on me, first I thought was multi touch acting up so I could accidentally hit home or back button. But then I think its just matter or compatibility of those games with ICS.

do you know if the latest update solved the touch problem?
Same issues here. On the samung version (dont remember the codename) i had this issue so i rooted and changed it so that google updates my phone. But this didn't help either. Still losing wifi when i am downloading. Like now i was going to download 9mm and after 2 seconds the wifi disconnect until i quit 9mm and then it pops up straight away. Can it be a hardware issue?
PS: before i change my phone brand to google, i could see the "avoid poor wifi connection" but now when i go to advanced tab it's gone :S
Ok everytime i try to test wifi in speedtest it says network communication issues after 2 sec of testing. Any info please? Do i have a faulty unit? going crazy over here
For what it's worth, I haven't had either of these problems on my Galaxy Nexus, and it's been on a lot of WiFi networks.
I've gotten speeds in excess of 20mbit/20mbit via the speedtest.net app multiple times on the campus wifi, as well as my parents', and my dorm connections. I've downloaded the Asphalt files twice without any interruptions either time, and I've never experienced any problems.
As for multitouch - no problems with that either. To type in all caps you can hold down the caps button on the keyboard and type - it's never given me any issues. I don't think I've been in a situation where I've felt multitouch hasn't performed right.

Then i probably got a faulty unit. Will give it 2 more days and if it's still the same i'll return it.
I've had this issue on every touchwiz based rom I've run. I would guess that most of the time I can watch a video that's as long as about 2 minutes most times. If it's longer than that I'll usually make it about 50% of the way through the video. When I was running cm7 on this phone I didn't have the problem. I've tried searching bit my terms seem pretty vague and I can't really find anyone else having the problem, or any solutions.
Anyone else ever experience this kind of trouble with the YouTube app? I'm currently on the latest blazer rom but have also tried Caulkilins (I never know how to spell it or pronounce it...but you know which rom I mean ;-) )
Thanks

I'm in your boat my dude. My youtube will just stop playing randomly. It could be 3 mins or 10 mins into the video and it just stops. It really started annoying me until I realized that it was an automatic pause. So I when I touched the screen, it would resume. I don't think anyone is working on a fix though with it being a seemingly small issue.
Mi nuh tek intimidation
I was complaining about this to someone at work the other day...and when I went to show them, it worked fine. I SWEAR I've had this problem at work..but maybe I got my facts confused and just didn't look @ youtube at work beause I didn't want anyone to see how flawed my awesome device was.
tried a few more....everything was good.
Go home....no go. So now I'm wondering if it's my old Linksys WRT54Gv8 running DD-WRT. I upgraded the firmware to the newest stable (mine was from 2008 and upgraded to one that is late 2009). No Luck.
at work I was on wifi also, so...it's not the phone's WiFi.
it works better on 3/4g but freakin wifi should rule them all. my cable is fast as F and other devices in the house don't have issues...weird, eh?
OK so this is a troubleshooting thread at this point. It's a problem with my home wireless.
I tried upgrading the firmware on my DD-wrt router and I think I bricked it. Oh well. It had a decent life. The firmware was from early 2008 and I don't remember when I got it.
So I got a new Linksys/Cisco e3000 and set it up. It doesn't hand out IP addresses or anything. All it does is share my internet connection. Dhcp and DNS is handled by my old windows 2003 domain controller. I get an IP and all seems fine but I've done quite a bit of testing tonight and wireless is slower to begin things (like market, YouTube, etc) than 4g.
My speed test results are great thoughf on wireless. Like....stupid fast. Almost as fast as my connection is. ~25mb.
The initial post was obviously about YouTube and what I'm seeing is on Wi-Fi a video will cache up much faster but it stops at some point. When the playing video reaches that point the video stops and will not start again. When I watch a video on 4g it caches up more slowly, staying just ahead of what's playing. On the rare instance that it catches up I'll get the spinning circle for a second or 200 and it'll start playing again.
The behavior is quite different and I'm not sure what would cause it.
Hoping someone might have some insight here or suggestions .....pretty irritating to not be able to enjoy this awesome phone as much at home as I can at work. I have a lot more time to f off on my phone @ home.
For my home wifi I got the Asus n56u, and also bought a range extender that plugs into an outlet. I have had no connectivity issues and setup was a breeze. Its either your router or your service at this point.

i'm having the same f***ed up issue. after playing vids for 5 mins, it stops suddenly. and its annoying as f** !!! theres got to be a solution to this.
My setup is just overly complicated. I had a 2003 domain controller that does dhcp and DNS, then goes through a virtual machine of a Linux firewall called Untangle. The VM was running within a 2008 server who was also supposed to be a domain controller.
I hated 2008 and wanted to go to R's anyway so I demoted the 2008 server blew away the old untangle install and just started over with 2008r2. Also upgraded from the old free vmware server client (no longer available or supported) and went to vmware workstation and now everything is working great.
I doubt you have the same things.....but....I don't think it was a problem with android or YouTube, but its still weird that no other devices at my house had this problem ....

My data works. I'm getting 3G speeds (approx 2 mbps). There are NO other errors on this phone except the random Error 104 and only sometimes Error 67. I've updated my PRL to the 11115 version. I can leave my phone on and not touch it, the data connection randomly kicks out, goes stale, the sending arrow is active, but nothing responds. I have to cycle my data connection off then back on, and that usually fixes it.
It does this A LOT. So much so, I put a Mobile Data on/off widget on my home screen. The internet works just great when it works, how can I get the connection from basically stalling out ALL the time?
If you've had this issue, or are having this issue, please respond.
The donor phone was a w385 (which is a 1x phone I know, but again, I'm getting 3G speeds, guaranteed - when it works right, I can stream HD Youtube videos with no problem at all). How can I get this connection to go up and STAY working??
I'm pulling my hair out over this one...
Mine is doing the exact same thing. Started this morning, has been perfect for the month or so I have had it on boost. Its been driving me crazy all day.
Mine's been doing it since I got it. I was primarily in a wifi area, now I'm strictly on 3G and I can't stand it. I'm so desperate for a fix, especially if it's something I'm doing wrong...
Out of curiosity... have you changed anything, like a kernel or ROM? If it's a kernel, what did you change it to? Trying to see if we have any similarities in our setup and work backwards from there...
I haven't changed anything at all. Im running stock rom with nothing but factory updates, have done nothing to this phone except root it before it was flashed. Just went to sleep with it working fine and woke up next morning to this. I haven't been getting the error code today as much but still having to turn data off then back on a lot. im about ready to throw this phone out the window and go sign a contact lol
I'm having the same problem. I just flashed my phone over to boost mobile a few days ago and I had a hard time getting 3g data to work. I was getting 1x data only. So I got the different passwords that I needed and 3g started working. But for some reason, after about 5 min or so, the data would just become stale and nothing would work (web pages, twitter, etc) even tho the data icon and arrows were still present. Its been happening ever since I flashed. I'm not sure what's causing it but if anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate a response.

It's your location. I moved from Haslet, TX down to Austin, TX, and I haven't had a single problem in Austin. Just to confirm, I went back up to Haslet, BOOM instantly started happening.
It's an error with the towers in particular locations. I confirmed it by calling up Sprint, and asking them to check in Haslet's zipcode for any issues, and they did confirm there are issues in that area.
I was sooooo ready to dropkick this phone. Sorry for the unfortunate news, but with Sprint's little network upgrade, it's causing these issues.

Thanks for the update man. I was about to go crazy!! Well hopefully they can get this issue worked out pretty soon here because this is getting ridiculous
Yeah I had to update this to let those with the issue know. I couldn't stand it!
Well I'm in Atlanta and mine quite giving error codes but internet is slow as hell right now. it does it at my house, job, our wherever I'm at. 40 miles away and still does it.
That's cause you're still in the same market.
