Hi,my brother brought me a G1 from china which says T-Mobile both on the phone and the box etc,Anyway the phone was english when he gave it to me and i installed a bunch of apps games etc since i was excited with my new gadget,then i ran out of space and decided to do a default restore instead of uninstalling everything. After the restore the phone turned to chinese 0.o ? and there is no option to switch to English on the menus..
I just want it to be English like i had it before,is there a patch i can use? phone is already kila-user 1.5 CRB21 so i dont want to get into flashing roms etc if possible. Can anyone help me find that patch or do i have to flash it with a US rom or something?
Check in settings>Locale+text>locales
Yes friends, I'm really in trouble my OB. Two days ago, I flashed a patched ROM to get my phone rooted through the smartflash method. Everything went OK, but short time after, I realized that my 3G/GSM signal was completly unstable.
The phone gets the signal but only for a while. Then, it loose it. Can't call, can't receive, no 3G. Full disaster!!!
So, since two days ago I'm eating every LG forum trying to find the solution, but it's impossible, no way, I'm about to throw my phone through the window.
So, pleeeaaase, could anyone help me???
From my forum lectures I could imagine that is anything involving baseband, or perhaps some network config in the service menu "3845#*970#".
My spanish network works in GSM900/1800 and WCDMA2100
I've tried to flash several STOCK firmwares with the same result: no luck.
Please, any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

First of all Question belong to Q&A section...
try a stock based custom rom like zeus, marvel or supressed or a non-stock AOSP like CM7... maybe is a hardware malfunction...
First of all, sorry about the wrong section I posted this thread, and thanks for the reply.
I don't think it's a hardware issue, because the phone was Ok before updating to a new firmware.
Anyway, after work I'll try to flash a custom ROM if no one gives me a better idea.
I'll post the result, but please, I still accept suggestions in order to solve this problem using a stock firmware.
I also have mesuared gps strenght signal with an android app, and it detects around 25%-30% where another phone with same carrier detects 75%.
Thanks, and keep in need of new ideas.
Sorry for any written mistake. My english is not as good as I wish. :·(
If you tried several roms like Zeus, and noone have solute your issue, than you should assume, that you have a hardware problem. Of course you should compare the signal strength with an other Smartphone, due their format cause a bad signal reception.
Go back to stock. I recomend this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1
and here pick your corresponding stock:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
other thing: In which country are you using the phone, and it is buyed there? Maybe bad bandwithspecs.
Regards!
Thanks Pacos1, the phone is being used in Spain, and also it's been bought there. (weird to write you in English :·)).
I still haven't tried a custom ROM like zeus or another one. I wanted to solve the issue with any Stock ROM, but as I have been trying several with no luck, I think it's time to try a custom one. I'm thinking about Zeus.
But first, as you've mentioned bad bandwith specs, I remember that the problem came after installing a patched stock ROM from russia. Once installed, I found out that spanish language wasn't included, so I returned to a patched stock spanish ROM. At that moment I started to have signal unstability.
So, I ask you with hope, do you know something I can do to restore spanish bandwith specs, and how to do it??
That would save my ass, as I'm really touched with this trouble.
Thanks again and hope a good end to this embarassing stuff.
I'm going to give up and call the SAT center. I've tried a lot of things for the last days without luck and no more ideas come to my brain.
I've tried Zeus ROM, it's quite good and nice, good performance, but still unstable signal. I've return to an offical ROM through LG update service and again unstability.
My conclussion is that is something about RIL and baseband, but don't have enough knowledge to solve it, then it's time to ask for official help and prepare my wallet (phone is out of warranty :·( )
End of the story.
Thanks
try to install a different version of roms custom or stocks. for example form what i know v20o roms are from spain and the v20n roms are for europe use. try some different version and you may able to find the answer to your problem
Some Info:
First things first: This is not my primary tablet anymore so If I can't get it working that is okay.
Second: I am trying to fix it for my parents or to sell it.
Third: It is the Sprint CDMA Version.
Okay so the problem with the tablet is when I turn on the device after flashing anything (whether it be the stock Gingerbread Rom via Odin/Heimdall or Cyanogenmod/AOKP) it works fine for a couple of moments... I set it up.. I open a couple of apps... and suddenly every single app starts to force close!!
On Stock it shows some apps like Swype and on ICS roms it shows some acore process.
I really want to know how to unbrick this and I can't send it in cause my warranty ended in February.
I'm also having a similar problem.
But I can't flash any ROM.
Even if I copy the zip file to the tab memory, after I reboot it, the file disappears. It always goes to Italian language. Can't remove the google account or the hotmail account.
I have tried to reset to factory defaults, etc and still the same...
Any ideas?
What android version your tablet have ?

Stock Gingerbread but the problem started when I had AOKP on it.
I tried flashing back to stock yesterday and now it's in a boot loop on the second Samsung logo after the Sprint logo.
The things that crash are android.process.acore, all gapps, Swype on stock, and Google Play.

Hello Everybody ... Am a new member to Xda site but i learned alot through reading your posts long time ago...

Details: I Had The phone since febraury 2012 and it was GB 2.3.6
i Updated to I.C.S 4.0.3 Official Rom and rooted it in july 2012
suddenly in august 2012 the problem started to appear ((( Am Writing Dates so To Avoid the Possibility of Hard Brick or anything because the phone was working great till then )))
THE PROBLEM
1-When I Try To Open Wifi It just Lag and stop responding The ICON GOES TO GREY INSTEAD OF GREEN and stays like that till Reboot and some times stays grey after Reboot
2- when opening wifi from settings tab it says "Turning On Wifi " and stays like that Forever
3- the only Way To restore the wifi icon to white is trying to activate WIFI - Direct
4- Rebooting Used to fix the problem but now NOT
5- Removing the battery Used to fix the problem But NOW NOT
Fixes I Tried
1- Restore Factory Setting & Wipe Cache & Wipe Everything
2- Changing the Rom from (I.C.S 4.0.3 )to (GB 2.3.6 ) to (Paranoid Android ) to (I.C.S 4.0.4)
Sometimes after each format or rom flash wifi worked for 2 hours or even 24 hours normally then problem appear
3- Tried removing Wpa Supplicant ( Helped Sometimes Then NOT )
4- Tried Wifix TO change country code even manually did it
5- Adjusted the Nfram_Semacove i dnt remember the name actually from CC To All ( Worked then later Stopped )
6- Used Wifi Rescue (Worked for a while then Stopped )
7- I Flashed Alot of kernels ((Heared that syiah Kernal Fix this problem but nothing out for NOTE YET )
HELP
I know that many will think that its a hardware ISSUE BUT IF Its hardware then why sometimes it work !!!!!
What i really Think is : Its a BUG Changed some files of the system which are not restored by flashing new ROM !!! for example when i Flashed Roms and Kernels i Found WPA Supplicant unchanged with my router Config !!!!
I SENT THE PHONE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID WILL CHECK AND REPLY within24 hrs but for sure its hardware and change Board which means 2800 EGP which is the price of new SGs2 soo am sure its a Bug or Software CAN ANY1 Help MEEEEEE

I am also facing the same problem for last one month and tried almost all the options tried by you but no relief. Wifi just works some time and other times it stays greyed. Can any one suggest any other solution as i also think it's software problem.
jesus christ, we are not BLIND!
anyway, i have same issues on sgs2
Same issue
@MOHPHR : I am facing the same issue as you.
I tried several ROMs from Original stock ICS to Paranoid to Crisleko's ROM.
Going into the airplane mode and then turning wifi on used to work, not anymore.
3G Data works just fine, not being able to use wifi is frustrating because when I leave it alone, it connects by itself randomly when I am at home for example.
I have done some extensive research and found an article that mentions wifi hardware problems resulting from ICS update on a galaxy S2. (Google: Samsung Galaxy S2 WiFi Issue BY Shaiful Borhan )
I did use the *#*#526#*#* and got the status: "NotSet Driver loaded [NG]".
Anyone can help please ?

Hi, I have been looking for days now for a forum that will be discussing this exact problem. I ve had this issue fora month or so now. I have restored to factory settings but it has not solved the problem. My galaxy note n7000 is not rooted nor does it have any special rom. I wouldnt even know how to install them. Where you able to find a fix? I am so tired of this problem, Im even contemplating the possibility of getting a note 2 and selling my n7000. I believe as well that it is most likely a software problem and im wondering if the soon to come jellly bean update could fix this issue.
Ps: after the wifi problem started, ive also noticed freezes and restars/ reboots.
Thanks for your help guys.:good:

@fedetipito I am still considering the hardware issue, although it seems a compatibility issue with the region/country as @fearkillerr mentioned in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436683)
I tried his solutions, none worked. The script one worked, but only once, then the problem kept repeating.
I upgraded to JB 4.2 then downgraded to stock GB 2.3 still the same issue. I am from the North Africa/Middle-East region, although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue. Any thoughts ? This problem is really really upsetting as we cannot use the WiFi properly. I am seriously considering simply abandoning my Galaxy Note N7000 and go for an iPhone 5, simply because I cannot even sell it (since no one would like a smartphone that doesn't have a proper wifi working).
I am having almost same problem with WiFi after I installed Custom ROM.
I tried only one method and it worked like a charm.
Go to WiFi connections and tell your phone to forget the network you are connected to, then re log. This problem did not happen after that 3 days now. Good Luck.
@Valium10 we initially cannot connect to any WiFi network, so we can't "forget" them. I don't think it is a "wifi network" problem.
" although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue"
And if you take SIM card out and power-on phone?Will wifi work?

Sometimes no, sometimes yes. It's kind of a malicious bug.
I am also facing the same problem and it seems it is hardware problem. May some dust or something else on the hardware or else we have dropped our phone some problem is there. When I gave to service center they asked that the motherboard needs to be replaced. But they refused to check it without that. I told that first try without replacing any parts and just check whats wrong in this if some repair can be done, but the service center people are so busy 50-60 peoples were waiting in line behind me to give there phones for service. They do not listen anything. They have tried by installing latest ROM and nothing else, that we can easily do it and for that also they have taken service charges.
Please someone tell me where exactly the wifi module is there, so we can open and check the problem ourself.

Hello,
This is my first post here
So couple of weeks ago i attempted to Flash Custom Rom ( HavocOS ) altho it looks nice but it seems that my phone is getting slower by the day,
the reason that made me flash a custom rom is to remove the unecessary apps and samsung stuff that uses my phone for no reason.
and losing the snappiness of my phone, phone gets hot sometimes for no reason, pickin up calls takes forever to connect which makes me miss calls sometimes, etc ... made me regret flashin the Rom.
so i was wondering if it's possible to revert back to original Rom and Lock the bootloader again.
My phone model is : SM-A305F/DS
Thank you for your help.
PS: sorry if my english seems off it's not my first language and still learning it ^^
The best way is probably flashing the stock firmware on odin and then lock the bootloader.
