new here and new to the mda

hello all im new to all of this and i am having a real hard time getting on the internet with mt wifi on the phone i do have 80211g and that might be the problem can anyone help me out here? i am getting ready to flash it again with the black diamond 3.1 touch please help or give me a link to help
thanks
joe

I don't think it's a problem with 80211g, cause i have that kind of network at home, university etc, and have no problems with connecting. Maby it's sth with your network itself - a kind of filtering, or sth. You can also try to reflash with another rom, eg. xda mobile 6 rel 4, im using it right now, and have no problems with wifi

Dear Joe
What ROM are you using? Did you had this problem with the original ROM that came with the phone?

i am using the black diamond 3.1 i have had the phone for two days and i have had the tmobile 2.26 and the tnt pro. and now the bd 3.1 none of them work it can find my wifi but wony connect

Is your network security enabled? Are you using the correct security code if so?

i have tried it secure with the right code and now it is open not secure at all still nothing

on a side note i did read last night that when you flash the rom you should always start fresh with the tmobile 2.26 well i did the tnt rom then the db 3.1 rom over that now when it boots the tnt splash screen comes up first then loads the bd maybe i have it messed up
what do you think
joe

well i bought a new rounter today and it works great ....go figure

What is the difference between the P3650 Cruise (Polaris) and the O2 XDA Orbit 2?

Hi all.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but what is the difference between the P3650 Cruise (Polaris) and the O2 XDA Orbit 2?
The reason I am asking is that I have recently had a Parrot MKi9200 handsfree car kit installed and my O2 XDA Orbit 2 seems to be unable to maintain a stable Bluetooth connection between the two?
I have contacted Parrot Technical Support and they have said that they have tested the MKi9200 with the P3650 Cruise (Polaris) and it works perfectly but at the moment they haven't tested it with the O2 XDA Orbit 2!
So I'm struggling to understand why the O2 XDA Orbit 2 won't work?

same hardware, different case, so firmware (ROM) -wise they are the same device, if your parrot device still doesn't work, you might want to update your ROM to the latest version at XDA site (official) or try a Polaris custom ROM from here until you find the right one for you.
Use search feature and read before posting, it's the best path you can follow.

Hi Drakh and Davidez2.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm afraid you've totally lost me!!!!!!
I'm new at this and I'm not quite sure what you mean and where I'm supposed to be looking!!!!!!
Many thanks.

Hi,
I have an Mki 9100 paired with my Orbit 2 and it works perfectly for telephony, but not so well for directions coming from TomTom.
I installed C Shekar's "b" rom when I got the phone and haven't looked back.
What are your symptoms?

Hi SpiggyTopes.

The symptoms I have is that I can't maintain a stable bluetooth connection.
Sometimes the Orbit 2 connects perfectly (telephony & CoPilot) and then after x minutes a "connection lost" message appears on the screen. (I've put 'x' minutes because it's not always the same amount of time).
Or, it may connect (telephony only) but still loses the connection after x minutes.
I've contacted Parrot and they finally come back to me to say that they have tested the MKi9200 with the HTC Touch Cruise but not the Orbit 2.
I have also tried a friends Touch Cruise with the MKi9200 and still had the same problem.
However, when I contacted Parrot again they said that there has been a problem with some of the HTC Touch Cruise's where the handset drops the Bluetooth connection when idle and that there is a "Hot Fix" to resolve this. (So I'm going to download this "hot fix" on the Touch Cruise and try it)
If this "hot fix" does resolve the Touch Cruise handset then I'm not sure whether to try the "hot fix" on the Orbit 2? Any thoughts?

As I said in one of my previous posts I'm a newbie to this so I'm not sure what you mean by you installed C Shekars "b" rom?
many thanks

OK - re new ROM:
You can upgrade the built in part of the phone's memory which runs the phone itself. I didn't like the O2 system, so flashed it to another ROM, which is far far better.
You would need to be calm and collected to do it!
You download and run SP Unlock to completely unlock your phone. No changes to the working of the phone are made.
Backup your data if necessary
You download the ROM (C Shekar's "b" (not the "a") rom - you will find it in the upgrade forum). About 50 MB.
You run the ROM upgrade via your USB / Active Sync connection (I have Windows XP).
Done!
It will then work with Parrot.
I've done this several times with different phones, but if you are nervous about it, try to get some hands on help.

Plantronics Voyager Pro

I just bought a Plantronics Voyager PRO headset for my Nexus One (running 2.2). The headset won't stay connected. It's paired and could make calls right after pairing, but now it won't connect unless I remove the device and repair it.
Is there anything else I can try? Any firmware updates for bluetooth on the phone or the headset? Any ideas??

Got the same - works.
Which rom are u using?
Edit: i bought discovery 925

I'm just running the standard out the box Android 2.2.1 (Build FRG83). What ROM are you running? Perhaps I should look at installing another ROM - always need a new project!

Unplug usb wire and then plug it a second time, it should work.

Try another cable. If that doesn't work then the problem is the USB port on your PC

Thanks a lot!!!

Have to plug in twice...
I had the same problem but i have to plug in my usb twice...is there a fix to this ?

I have the same problem sometimes also. I just disconnect and connect it again and it works. It does that on both my computer and the charger.

Fixed in last version.

FJFALCON: Thank you for that and also the incredible work you're doing.
Because of people like you, my once awful phone suddenly became amazing. I love showing off the new features on it to my friends.
Keep up the good work and many thanks.

Maybe you are right!
But its fine with 24th April image and stock 2.1 UK rom!

So was wondering if its really a h/w issue or the image has something wrong
thanks for supporting.

I will rebuild wlan driver so wait.

Great!
Thanks, fjfalcon.
06.05.2012 build fixes all issues, including storage access and WiFi MAC.

Great Work
Hello:
Thanks all the developers for your wonderful work. Installed the latest cm7 20120506 on XT720 and it feels completely different and much better phone now.
Everything seems to be working fine except I am not able to get wifi tethering working on this phone. I do not know if it is my phone only or is general problem.
I did some extensive reading for tethering and it was mentioned that it should run in infrastructure mode. or putting "dun" in apn etc. I even tried wifi tether app also. On this phone, I did not see two options "MSS clamping" and "Routing Fix" which seems to be critical.
As a last resort I tried bluetooth tethering and this seems to be working. I did the following
1: Install PdaNet 3.5 and FoxFi on XT720 for bluetooth tethering.
2. iPad: Pairing and connecting with XT720 immediately started working.
3. Galaxy s2: Installed Pdanet Tablet and connected to XT70:
I would appreciate your comments on getting wifi tethering to work with CM7 7.0 version
Once agains thanks to the developers.

Reboot on incoming call...
Has anyone else observed this ! Almost every alternate incoming call, it reboots.
Using 06-05-2012 image. Any help ?

Modakjay great idea for the wifi share, thanks.

The slow USB transfer speeds with ICS... and JB too?

Anyone able to hint at whether or not we could finally get a proper fix for the incredibly slow USB transfer rates with ICS on the Nexus S when Jelly Bean arrives in the next few weeks (hopefully)?
I know the general advice is "Just reboot into CWM and do the transfers there..." but honestly that gets a bit frustrating. I bought Wifi File Transfer Pro during a sale for $.99 and it's functional but, even that's somewhat slow to me (average 3-6MB/s). I have no idea what Flash-RAM is inside this device, I'm guessing since the Nexus S is made by Samsung (even though it's 18+ months old now) and they'd more than likely use their own high grade Flash-RAM it should be more than capable of writing at close to that speed as well.
Under CWM's storage mode the transfers are in the 10-15MB range so that's good, but...
Has anyone ever actually discovered why the USB transfers are so horridly slow on ICS on the Nexus S, or is it a situation where most people just shrug their shoulders and say "That's how it goes..." and that's that?
Just curious... love the device, it's my new main one as I recently dumped my HD2 to pay some bills. If it's specifically related to a busted kernel (3.x) then there's nothing that can be done about it I suppose, unless someone at Google has some clue as to what's going on.
Sure would be nice to plug in and get the speed this device is capable of instead of plugging in, rebooting to recovery, going into CWM storage mode, doing a transfer, then rebooting back out into ICS again.
I know it's been asked before but there's never been an actual answer to why it's happening, let alone a potential fix for it.
If it IS an issue with the 3.x kernel(s), doesn't that imply that Jelly Bean won't do much to address it and we'll still be stuck in the slow lane?
Thanks...
EDIT:
Found this JB port from steven776 from the SDK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28113909&postcount=258
Installed it and it's running fine but but but... nothing changed as far as the USB transfer rates are concerned. I know it's not the "official" build of JB coming for the Nexus S but, even so, this doesn't bode well for a fix for this issue once and for all.

Well, the slow transfer speed bothers me a lot too, but I never thought of transferring the file using CWM, so thanks for the tip :good:

I cant offer any magic solutions or explanation for why its slow but maybe you could clear up a couple of things:
1) are you using a USB 2.0 cable or is it possible that it is only a 1.0?
2) the devices you are connecting your phone too (i.e PC, laptop) are they USB 2.0 capable?
3) check to see if your operating system's power management settings and make sure that there isn't anything slowing it down there
If you feel any better these are the speeds that I get, no matter what ROM im using (steve's JB port included) and I too have been underwhelmed by it.

Well for me I'm connected to a USB 2.0 port, I have no issues regarding from power management as that should have no affect.
But writing anything to the phone its very slow like anywhere from 300kbs to 1MB/s. But copying/writing from the phone to PC is always going to be faster I'm getting on avg. 14 to 18MB/s.

That's also bother me a long time and can't find any solution yet.

Nexus S JB is still slow
Hi, I have just updated to the official Jelly Bean update and can confirm that the USB problem is still present. I think I had read somewhere that the problem is in the kernel?

Any fix for this yet? Still annoying to go into cwm to transfer big files.. Thanks.

Go to clockworkmod and use then mount USB storage, you will get about 4mb/s

I believe this has to do with the transfer protocol used and your Kernel. Which kernel are you using, are you stock, rooted, or romed, and have you played with the MTP/FTP settings?

MTP Works fine
Hi,
Using Marmite Kernel 7.1.4CM on CM10 and JellyShot 0.1 I noticed that MTP Transfer is actually a lot faster than USB Transfer.
I had the same issue with slow transfer on ics and jb. with MTP its gone.
