Please help - General Questions and Answers

My phone is stuck in a glitch where wifi and display are using up a large part of my battery. Despite turning off wifi and/or all wireless connections and putting on minimum brightness they are still killing my battery. Ive also tried rebooting my phone but it does nothing. Could anyone give me some advice on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

which phone is it for? did you recently flash or root your phone? more info

Yes my phone is rooted but i did that like 2 months back with no problems until today and I havent made any significant changes to my phone since i rooted it. It is a samsung sph d600.

Stock ROM?
Swyped From My Ice Cream Sensation
Virtuous 3.0

more info please
Agree^^ let us know what rom you are running.
I had a similar issue with my sgs2 when I first rooted it. But I never really found the cause of the issue or a solution, I just flashed a new kernel which seemed to fix it. If I were you It try an updated kernel (or just a custom one) see how you go

[Q] Can't Flash back from CM7

I am currently running CM7. But I would rather have my Old stock 2.1. I am running On a Huawei Ascend on Cricket Wireless. I have CWM and ever since I ran CM7 and changed things around it still drains my Battery Faster than usual and heats up my phone. I lowered the CPU and such.
Anyways to the problem:
I have been trying to get the old stock version back on to my phone but for some reason I can not get things to work right. I Try a fast boot and it just reboots the phone back into CM7 and does nothing. I have tried to do it through CMW and same thing happens. I want to try to us the SD Card update option through the Systems settings but I can not find it. I just want to get CM7 off of my phone and mess around with a few other things before I commit to a new mod.
If anyone has any ideas on what I can do just let me know. Is there anything I can do that I have not tried already?
Edit: Yes I know I am new and yes this is my first post. I just need help please, and thank you.

[Q] xoom wifi root wifi error

I rooted my xoom wifi and now when I go to settings to set up my wifi, it says error instead of scanning. any fixes?
I would try reflashing the kernel.

who sounds like the kernel didn't flash right. try the post above me said chances are you just need to re push the kernel files.
how did you flash? if you used adb, you most likely did not push all the modules.... if you used cwr you may of had an error and should reflash.
lostttttt
Hello fellow xoomers, im having a problem hope some one can help me. first off i'm a noob to rooting. I have a xoom wifi running android 3.0 , kernel version is 2.6.36.3 build HRI39. I was adventurous and tried to root my xoom and needless to say it didn't go well. I honestly thought I bricked the damn thing, to my shock and welcomed surprised I was able to do a wipe and erase all the data on my device and return to factory settings. but when it went to connect to the wifi all it's saying is wifi error every thing else seems to work fine. so i was wondering should i try to re root my xoom again??? will this correct the issue i'm having with my wifi?? and can some one point me to a guide that's made for the version i'm currently running seems likes there's a million and one different types of software and you have to have the right one for the version your running or every thing goes from sugar to well you know the rest. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you need any more info please let me know. thank you all in advance.....

CM10-20130114-Nightly Kernel

Quick question:
I've been having wifi issues which I've searched for the solution, but haven't found it. I don't want to downgrade hboot because I see my limitations laying in there somewhere and don't want to mess everything up. Wifi is the the only issue I'm having.
I flashed the Fusion Ultimate v.4 kernel hoping it would help, but it hasn't, although my phone seems to run faster and smoother.
So I'm wondering... will a kernel even really help a wifi issue and, if so, is there one better suited than the Fusion Ultimate?
My phone:
HTC One S (S4) S-On
hboot: 1.14
kernel flashed via Flash Image GIU
It seems many have wifi issues with custom roms and hboot 1.14. Kernels doesnt help.
The only solution Ive seen around the forum is, downgrading the hboot.
In terms of kernel, you are one of the lucky ones who managed to get v4 to boot, welcome to the club Theres a giant bug somewhere in it which causes it to not boot for the majority of the users.
You could try Fusion v3.1 instead - but I doubt that will help your issue.
Surprisingly, it seems to have worked. At least, I assume it did since I made no other changes tonight and Wi-Fi is working. Even when I leave the house, it connects when I get back. Whatever happened, I hope it keeps up.
Thanks for the reply.

[Q] Galaxy s2, After I install custom ROM, wifi and radio do not turn on

Fairly new to alot of this...please forgive me. I have scoured forums and cannot find an answer to my problem. I got a new S2 about a month ago and I rooted it no prob. When I tried to install CYM 10 (stable and nightlys) It installed but the wifi and radio are shut off. Found a rooted stock and was using it as it was better than what I had stock on the phone but not being able to do it bothered me. After many posts regarding some of these issues with other phones, I have: Updated my prl and anything else I could update successfully, tried again and same problem. I tried turning on, up, down, and everything else I could do with the settings having no wifi or data and went back to the rooted stock. I flashed a radio update sucessfully and then tried messing with Kernals. Dragonics ROM comes with a new kernal flash among many other things and I tried that, installed sucessfully but still not wifi or radio....I even tried flashing older roms and kernals and still nothing.
As of right now I am back to the rooted stock running stupid themes to make me feel like I did something. I cannot find a direct answer to this regarding my model and that I have not tried. This has become an obsession...I HAVE to make this work. Please Help me.
Again, fairly new here and to forums in general and sorry if I did any of this wrong...

[Q] Looking for help fixing my mobile data and finding a ROM for my phone version

*What ROM should I get for my phone and will it solve my issue for data? and what am I doing wrong to install roms?*
About two weeks ago I finally got around to rooting my Android Razr Maxx so that I might speed it up since it had been laggy. I was able to root my device with no issues and overclock it to solve this problem. I began to expand to other things rooting would allow me to do and attempted to use a mobile data tweak-er to get a speed increase. At first it seemed to work great until at one point about a week later I restarted my phone and couldn't access my mobile data, I could only get WiFi and the 4G bar is always there with signal but remains grayed out. I started looking around for info and eventually asked two friends of mine who both noticed I had no VPNs listed in my phone and said that was why,I don't know how this could of occurred but both told me I could fix it by getting a new custom Rom if I didn't want to do a factory rest. If this is true I would appreciate it if someone could help me find a ROM that works for my phone. I'm currently using the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. stock version 4.1.2 system version 98.72.165.XT912 I have Safestrap 3.11 installed already and followed numerous videos trying to get a new ROM to work, so far I have tried Wizzed Bean Jelly Wiz and Eclipse but all 3 give me a boot loop when I try to get them working and I always have to revert back to to my stock Rom after my attempts. I'm guessing there was an incompatibility I wasn't aware of in all 3 cases.
Any help with any of this would be most appreciated and I apologize ahead of time as I may be ignorant to some things involving this question
