[Q] Noob needing help for Android on Kaiser

Hi All:
After seaching the forums all day and trying to decipher whats going on, I have to resort to noobish actions by posting a new thread.
What I have is a Kaiser, NAND flashed to Thoughtlesskyle's not so super froyo RLS18, radio ROM has been flashed from 1.70 to 1.65 and back twice, all "androidupdate.tar" files installed for the issue I'm having, and it seems to be Froyo related as I wasn't having this issue with Eclair builds.
Essentially, I don't have a data plan and would like to use the WiFi on the Kaiser, but even after Kernel replacements and ROM flashes across builds (I thought "Super Froyo" from Incubus26Jc was kinda cool, even tried a gingerbread build), I have yet to get it to work.
My guess is there's something going on in the wifi script that I'm not seeing. It has been replaced and still has an issue. I only get "Error" after trying to start it.
If anyone has a spare finger to point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative. The little woman is getting lonely waiting for me to finish this...

I'm guessing by the views that this is either a still ongoing problem, or someone wanted to see what the noob posted...lol.
With an average 5 views per hour though, I would think some people are still searching for an answer.

It is strange, after my first installation, I already had the wifi, without any problem..
Maybe you have a wrong kernel, or a wrong radio? I don't know.
I will upload you my SDCard folder, then you could give it a try..
I will edit this message and give you the link when it is done

Wifi not working can be kernel based prob and build based too.. i suggest get a latest kernel from Kernel thread and try using another build.. mine was working fine till i used android i dont anymore coz it sucks the battery out.. still best of luck to u hope u get it to work

Ok, i got it to work... Thanks anyway Zebra...
What it turned out to be was an update overwrote another update and reinstalled the "bad" wifi script. I reinstalled the update and got it going.
BTW, I did happen to find a hardware clocking script with the wifi fix included, but the Kaiser doesn't support 600MHz clockspeeds...PFFT.
Battery has been fine for 2 days with moderate/heavy use (pandora/market/browser/txt/phone). The battery is a 1350mah type and I'm got around 11 hours on day one and so far I'm at 56% today. My day starts at 5am, and my old i930 is usually dead by now.

[Q] CM7 RC2 GPS and Gmail questions

Hello all, Im brand new to the forums and just recently was shown the wonders of rooting and messing with my phone by a coworker. I am amazed to see all the stuff this thing can do that Tmobile didnt bother doing for me! I recently went from CM6 to CM7 then upgraded to RC2 and somewhere in there I lost GPS all together and Gmail stopped sending my emails. No matter what I do GPS will not work. It shows that it is on everywhere I look for not in the status bar. I can find my location using wireless but its not nearly accurate enough for me. I read somewhere on the forums that uploading to the newest radio will help the GPS but the link it gave me showed it being posted in mid January and I figured there had to be something newer than that . I am also uninstalling and reinstalling Gmail to see if that solves my problems with it now and I will edit this if that changes. Ive read a few places where people were talking about getting an FM radio on the MT3G and most of the time it was said that it is not possible, it isnt right? Any info or advice you pros can give me will be greatly appreciated by this noob! Thanks guys!
EDIT: Looks like I should have taken my own advice and reloaded Gmail before asking about it, I can now send emails!

As for your GPS, once you get the newest radio flashed, go out door to a place with clear sky (as in no buildings hovering over your head). I thought my GPS didn't work either, then I stepped out and turned it on. Bam. Works perfectly fine.

download TuneIn from market

I got the radio downloaded and I finally have GPS!! I had read about downloading the newest radio before but the only one I saw was from January and I was hoping to find a newer one or a different fix. The only issue I have with the GPS now is the blue arrow that shows your position keeps going sideways :-/, another issue to research. As far as the FM radio goes, Ive see apps like that before but the reason I asked about an FM radio was to pick up the broadcasts from the TV's at the gym. Thanks for the post though.

Yea,my gps takes long to lock on outside,then when I'm driving or stopped at a red light it always reroutes,when I'm moving the arrow goes sideways and moves along so I can't really know where I'm going might a bug or sumthang.

Anybody figure out the problem with the navigation? I've got the same problem with the blue arrow being all funky. Makes google maps unusable.
Anybody else also know why this CM7 RC4 is killing my battery life?

I just updated my radio to the newest one and it's still got the same problem.

I did the radio too but Im still having problems. Im on nightly 36 now, but Ive tried 33 and RC1-4 without any luck. I heard someone say 32 works but ive also heard people say all of them works for them so im not sure.

my google maps gps is pointing to the wrong direction too. And get a long time to pinpoint my location.
cm7 and newest radio installed.

The guy who introduced me to all of this rooting stuff suggested I do a backup through titanium and then a full wipe before reinstalling CM7. I' not comfortable enough with all this yet to do it on my own so I have to wait until I work with him again. Mybe someone with more experience (or atleast confidence haha) would want to give this a shot and let us all know? I feel like it could work because there are so few of us having this problem and those that aren't have nothing different (in hardware or software) from the rest of us, so a wipe and reinstall could work...right??

Every time i have an issue with a ROM, i always full wipe and reflash and then restore my necessary apps through Titanium. It usually does the trick.

Full wipe involves data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache, all in cwm recovery menu correct? Is there anything else that needs to be wiped before flashing a new rom?

[Q] 3G slow to respond

Hey everyone, I'm new here to the forum and have had my EVO for about 6 months now. First things first, I have searched quite a bit and havent really found problems specific to mine on here or google. Maybe I am just not searching for the right thing so bare with me please. A few months after I got it, I started realizing the 3g would take a long time to respond sometimes. For example, I would type in a web address and hit go and the 3g icon on the status bar would not do anything for sometimes up to 1 minute causing the browser to display (page not found). Other apps that require internet do this as well. One day I decided to do a factory reset and the problem went away. After a few weeks, it came back so i did another reset and fixed it. Now back to the same old problem. Finally got tired of doing resets so I'm trying to find out the real solution to the problem. I constantly clean the cache. Previously I did it manually, but now I use cache cleaner which seems to do a good job. I have also tried speed boost lite which doesnt do a bad job either but uninstalled since i like cache cleaner better. Profile and PRL updates help only for a short time even though it didnt really update after checking software versions. I've taken the phone to sprint, they've checked it out, said its fine, and that 10-30 seconds is normal and nothing to complain about. Maybe that would be the case if it was NORMAL but it is not. Has anyone heard of this or have any ideas to fix it? Sorry for all of the reading but if you have any advice at all, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well there 3g service is down the drain right now and the lack of good ping could be the reason so my guess is 3g sucks it happens to my evo a lot so I use wifi and 4g when I can

Thanks for your reply. I'm am happy with the 3G most of the time. At my house, it is almost as fast my wifi (no i dont have slow internet at home either lol). I have no problem streaming HQ Pandora, youtube, and netflix in crystal clear quality on 3G. It is not the network, it is an issue with the phone, a setting, or an app that is causing the problem. If I was to factory reset the phone right now, the problem would go away. I just dont want to reset it anymore and have to reinstall everything. Time to try to figure out the real problem and stop taking the lazy way around

That is weird could be your phone you could back up your apps with titanium backup and restore away or try to unroot then reroot

i just reset, I did forget to mention in the OP that i am not rooted. Haven't gotten the balls to do it yet. I haven't found a good thread to read up on to root yet. Not that i've been looking that hard. I would like to root very soon though

Best way to root I think is unrevoked you need a computer but its easy as pie there are also guides on YouTube
sent from my Motorola XOOM

ya i tried that before but every time i try something goes wrong and i cant do it. Even when i follow videos my phone just doesnt do the same thing as theirs for some reason. lol who knows

Just for ****s and giggles I gave it another go on rooting with unrevoked. Actually got it this time. I have no clue what happened last time. Went smoothly this time. So just basic root, nothing fancy. All i really wanted out of the root was wireless tether. Still want to figure out the unresponsive 3G issue though before it happens again

Glad to hear your on the dark side (rooted) you can learn a lot just by being rooted

Ya its nice so far but the reset did not fix the unresponsive 3G. Ugh its so annoying! Nobody has any ideas?!

Flash your first rom and do a nandroid

I am now running cm7 nightly build 83 off of rom manager. I love it!

I'm not having the 3g issue now. Internet seems much faster on this rom

[Q] Xperia arc S internet dead....tried everything, please help

Hi all.
Been installing quite a few roms in the last year and untimately sticked to UHD 3.0.2 with lupus kernel.
This happend once before, internet suddenly stopped working and the simptoms where having a 3g simbol showing up to then dissappear for minutes.......no way of having any internet connection whatsoever, tried installing different kernel and roms but probably it's something deep into the firmware.......it fixed by itself after a week or more '
Now it happend again, internet is down despite i reinstalled roms and kernel and even went back on .13 stock rom and kernel.....nothing internet is simply down and no 3g simbol coming up from time to time this time....only phone signal and that's it.
Settings are ok, checked 100s of times............i just left the phone charging and all of a sudden it became like this.
I'm back on stock as i said and still nothing.........this pisses me off like few other things on earth. Is there something i can attempt manually to recover any form of internet connection. I need it for work and messaging a lot!
Please help me out guys, or i'll just have to dump this phone in the bin despite the fact that i'm quite fond of it.
Thanks

Default [Q] Xperia arc S internet dead....tried everything, please help
Looks like you tried quite a lot of things but you did not say you tried another baseband? Worth a try? Just make a note of the baseband your on so you can return to it....

[Q] how come suddenly it can't keep a signal after switching sims/services(tmob2aio)

yeah, first thing i accomplished successfully tho not without a lot of wiping an rewiping and installing and reinstalling stuff, was unlocking the phone, then i put in the aio and it did it's thing on it's own and connected wonderfully. first time trying to go back to tmob, it started this misconnection issue. it's basically intermittent closer to non operational, tho i did get a random text tonight from a friend i was unable to respond to, because im like kinda connected for a sec, sometimes i'll see the opposing 4g arrows working in the notification area, but not long enough to get info set in the apn settings, you know where i'm talking about. half of those settings work only when you have a signal, for ex. i do the manual part correctly, hit the save apn button ... nothing saves, nothing happens better after that.
i bet you i need to update that radio huh? just tried to flash a newer rom and it said no because my radio was too old. i could have sworn my stock rom, which is supposed to be the latest... which maybe was old right? its in the threads here, first stock you'll find. probably that rom was cool with the uvle1... confusing stuff. okay, til someone answers otherwise i'm just gonna keep trying to update this radio. i guess it is only good now for unlocking...

okay, so i just flashed jedi mind trick which updated the radio, but the stock rom didn't. so does that mean that some roms will not touch the radio while others will? and what was wrong with the radio before? was it made to work only for the associated older versions of android?
