Hi guys...

Did you all have suggestion for apps to make our connection stay on 3G only for ICS... current ICS only have option for 2G only... my area now line nit so stable, keep switching between 2G and 3G...
*
1. open dialer
2. key in *#*#4636#*#*
3. select Phone Information
4. scroll down a bit
5. select "WCDMA only"
6. if you are currently connected to 2g network, WAIT until it switches to 3g.
7. press back and select Phone Information again to make sure it sticks at WCDMA only.

I don't know why but sometimes the settings does reset back to CDMA/GSM Auto.

Thanks... it work... Now get stable 3G and H only...

it should give you better battery life as well.

But if you are like me on Umobile, need to remember to switch it back to Auto when leaving coverage area.

OK. With this setup  will not get any coverage when enter 2G area, right?

Thanks for the solutions. I also implement this solution to my father ACE... He keep complaining his network always stay at EDGE all the time even though 3G are available.
*
Yeah, you will get "Emergency Call Only" when entering 2G area, you can use something like

if you want to be reminded.

Galaxy ACE? As far as I know, HTC and Samsung ROMS both have "3G Only" somewhere in the Mobile Networks configuration, only the AOSP doesn't have it, don't understand why.

Guys, i'm now not wearing any SP. Is it ok? But the best part is, i love looking at the screen now. HAHA  brows.gif

Mine's not "wearing" any for 9 months or so already.

However, I don't wash my hand everytime before I use my phone, and now there's some very clear smudge on my phone that is hard to clean off using micro fiber cloth alone. Sometimes I use a tiny little bit of hand soap to clean it.

i thought soap based cleaner is definitely a big No No ??? cause it will definitely eat up the oleophobic layer

I read so too, but don't know how else to clean the phone of those "oil" stains.

last time I tried the leaked 4.0.4, most of the things are slightly faster than 4.0.3. 2 major differences are browser improvements, less white tiles during scrolling and android os doesn't consume as much power in the battery usage log.
*
Nice, will be trying tonight.

I have gave up on the stock browser, now using mainly chrome, its much faster when I am visiting large pages like boardgamegeek.com. smile.gif

The browser does seems a lot smoother than 4.0.3! Will use a while more to see. I remember last time when I first got 4.0.3 I also felt that the browser is smooth, but after a few days of usage, the performance sucks bad, don't know its caused by cache or something.

guys...i am having trouble flashing CWM touch after I updated to 4.0.4...i am not sure what i did wrong...

i just install the drivers from the Android SDK coz I am using a PC that dont have the driver....but I could not flash the recovery image to my phone using Commant Prompt...Is it possible to advise what I did wrong?
*
I assume you are trying to do the "fastboot flash recovery xxx" command? What error did you get?

btw, i tried another option which is using fastboot boot command..it worked and i managed to get back to CWM...from there i updated a script to keep the recovery image in place...too bad it didnt work..when i boot back to my phone... and tried to get back to recovery its still broken..which means stock recovery image have over written the custom recovery image again...  rclxub.gif
*
What did you do to "update the script"?

Please provide more details next time when you are asking for help, instead of just "doesn't work", "doesn't work"

Just found out yesterday that the Video recording in ICS now have some funny features like Big Eyes and Big Mouth. smile.gif

QUOTE(gwong @ Mar 30 2012, 02:46 PM)
I tried command prompt "fastboot flash xxxx.img" it could flash the recovery image...Then i tried "fastboot boot xxxx.img" yes it booted the recovery.img...but this is only for temporary. So I flashed a script that I downloaded from XDA while i am in the temp recovery. This script is supposed to make your recovery stick. But it didnt solve the problem as well.
*
I have always done this manually.

1. boot into recovery
2. select mounts and storage
3. select mount /system
4. from pc, do "adb shell"
5. then do "cd /system/etc"
6. then do "chmod -x install-recovery.sh"
7. do "exit"
8. reboot the phone

I made a mistake by flashing an older version (which IIRC works for 4.0.3), are you using the latest version from here?

Hi,
Anyone knows where to buy an original replacement battery for NS? I can't seem to find it anywhere in Lowyat, seems this battery is not popular.

Many Thanks!

Can try here:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/replacement-3...r-117960?item=1

But it will take 1-2 months to arrive from experience.

I bought the energizer 2000mAh on for 169. I think there's cheaper ones. Got mine at KLIA. Used it once in Vietnam and once at 3.0, not bad.

Can last for how many charge for 2000mAH?
Should be one, as our phone have a 1450mAH, so far I have tested charging from like 30% up to 70%, twice, then the battery pack goes out, haven't tried from <10% to full charge yet.
