[Q] Anti-theft measures

Hello guys, recently I hear a lot of phones being stolen around my area and I started looking into anti-theft solutions for my Galaxy S. I've found various programs and even Samsung's Mobile Tracker seems to do most of the job (even though locating the phone via GPS is unavailable in my country). What most people ask me when I tell them about Mobile Tracker is: what are you going to do if they just flash the firmware as soon as they steal it ? At the moment I have a few questions in mind:
1. How can you prevent the phone being flashed on will ? Does this mean locking the bootloader ?
2. Would it be possible to turn the phone+GPS+data network on remotely somehow ? Does the hardware support this feature (I know that Android won't even ring your alarm if the phone is turned off) ?
Looking forward to your answers.

Best anti theft advice: Don't leave it unatended!
you can also install about any software like Anti Theft droid, but it will work as long as it is installed.

[Q] Galaxy Tab Cyanogen USB Host Mode

Hi,
Sorry to bother everyone but I was simply wondering if someone could help me since Googling has brought up all kinds of conflicting results.
First off, I have read that Cyanogenmod 7 (with its custom kernel) can enable USB Host mode on many devices, enabling them to connect external storage, keyboards, etc. Is this true?
Secondly, could this then be used to enable Host mode on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" GT-P1000 by flashing the Cyanogenmod 7 beta version for the SGT?
If anyone could help clear things up, that'd be great!

No luck?
No-one has any ideas about the feasibility of this?

I don't think you will have luck with that, unless Honeycomb 3.2 brings forth something different (but I really doubt it due to hardware)
Anyhow there is a thread where a discussion about this is active, maybe you can get some answers there.
I got the New Samsung USB connection Kit
The ability to do such a thing would come in real handy though.

Mobile data connection drop issue and Gmail issue AGAIN post 8107

Hey guys hav u ever experienced issue like dis:
Mobile internet connection drop and unable to got online or using web browser etc.
It cannot be fixed w/ rebooting.
Now it seems i can use disable/reenable 3G/3G switch and turn on/off 3g connection several time to make this work.
But it is still annoying
Any idea how to fix it?
Im using the latest firmware, radio, stuff: 11.11.1
btw the gmail search doesnt work either after 8107 update which said by MSFT wud fix this issue, any1 hav the same issue?

I can't find the switch 2g/3g switch!? lol
Don't have any other issues though!
Omnia 7 - originally on T mobile but now using unbranded ROM on Three.

Same problem here. The gmail search on server bug is really annoying!

I'm having the same problem as of today, my mobile data connection has dropped. I've tried rebooting, switching to airplane mode, re-enabling/disabling 3G/E multiple times. But the issue remains.
On proximus (belgium) with DFT rom

- Use the Diagnosis app
-Open up the Diagnosis app.
-Dial this (to enable autoconfigure sim setting): *#94765#
-It will ask you to restart the device. Confirm that.

Same problem here too. I was afraid it was my device..now i see almost all omnia 7's got this problem. No fix from samsung. Nice.

I've had issues with this for months. In fact since upgrading to Mango.
It's not hardware as I now have a warranty replacement and this one has the problem too. My sister also had hers replaced under warranty for the same issue and the issue remains for hers too.
I started a MS Answers thread months back but MS have ignored it... may as well add your voices though. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-wppics/data-connection-problem-since-mango-update/1544a63f-7bf0-43fa-837c-7e89f10b86ab

Can anyone confirm/unconfirm if this works? Getting really sick of this now. Restarting was fixing it, but now nothing. I'll add my views to your thread.

Had the data issue for months, it was so bad i stooped using the device.
Then as in old windows mobile i decided to flash another rom witch included another radio from another carrier, in this case a french one, well it did work ,then i could use the phone everywhere.
I cant tell you the rom version at the moment because i got a test roam loaded, but i can certainly find out later.
edit..
The rom was Mango fro sfr france.

you mean that flashing another rom fixed ur problem?
Can u post a link to the rom itself, please?

Yup, it has fix it.
I got it from HERE
Before that i could not do anything over 2/3g.
Now it works just fine.
One thing i remember, the device will boot in French, but you can change to English after in the control panel.
Before doing anything make a Device backup!
edit...
my radio hardware version is 0.0.0.800
radio software version 2424.11.9.1
Currently using the above radio with a custom rom v 24.24.11.9.4 and no problems with data.

can confirm that it doesn't work - sadly :-( - It has the effect of setting the switch in Network profile app (something you only get in unbranded ROMs by default..
BTW there is a thread on this in the Omnia 7 general forum

I had the same issue also but after using Healthcliffs fix 3g.xap my problem went away.

wifi tether

hello everyone, im currently using a samsung mini for mainly wifi tethering as i need it for the net i am on the one plan tariff ,the problem i have is
i cant seem to get optimum speeds from this device no matter what i try what rom i have tried its all the same. but if i use my sim in other phones like a htc device i get nearly double the speeds and super smooth ,now as far as i am aware you dont need too much cpu power to run wifi tether
the handset is set at 600mhz and i can overclock it up to 864 mhz ,also when i recieve a phone call it interrupts the tethering i have to turn off and turn on the data connection as it gets stuck on hspa sign with the arrow only pointing upwards then it after i reset it all is fine ,
can someone please advise me how i can optimise this handset specifically for tethering as i dont use any other apps and dont need anything else apart from messaging ,phone calls and tethering .if someone can help me tweak this handset i would really appreciate it .as i have faith in this little handset its done well but also has many flaws when it comes to tethering ,i tried diffrent tethering apps but they all do the same mistakes and i cannot surpass past 500kbps a sec but again on any htc device i can hit over 1mbit! so why is this? even a htc desire c which is similar handset to this phone runs smoother .surely there must be a way to optimise the handset for optimal performance on tethering .
thank you and hope to get a reply back about this

flash stock rom of your region as you will then have a radio specially created for your region which will make signal reception much better

dear sir ,,, i am on the 3 network in uk ,and i cannot find the firmware which is the original stock rom for this phone .i have searched google
if you have a link for the original firmware for this handset could you please share it
thank you

are you using any carrier branded mobile
I think not
in the dialer type *#1234# you will get version number type them here

dear sir again thank you for replying back to me very grateful ..
this is what it shows once i typed in what you asked
PDA : 5570xwktn
PHONE : 5570XWKT6

on the side note i got this handset originally from 3 network with its original firmware but i never backed it up via nandroid ,.i flashed cwm on it also unlocked the sim side using the tutorials on xda to make it sim free .again i have tried just about every single custom rom made for this handset and none optimises it so hoping if i revert it back to its original rom will fix my issues with tethering ,and i would like to make my own rom for it with only messaging,telephone,tethering nothing more if that will make a diffrence a very light rom with only these few features would you let me know please so i can work on this .thank you sir

http://androidadvices.com/update-galaxy-mini-s5570-xwktn-gingerbread-236-firmware/2/
above is a guide
but you are saying your mobile is carrier branded so the firmware may not work

thank you sir ,i will try it but the handset doesn't have a 3 network badge on it only says samsung ,and they gave me the handset when i first got the contract .I will try that firmware and thank you for your kind help ,god bless

Dear Sir,
I Am Very Grateful For Your Kind Help & It Seems You Have Fixed My Issue Since I Flashed This Firmware The Phone Is Running Fantastic & Connections Seems Much Smoother Than ever before .,,God Bless & Thank You Again ..Would It Be Possible To Use This Firmware Strip It Down All The Extra Apps Embedded In It ? I Would Like To Strip This Rom Apart Make It Very Light

can be stripped down but it is really a hard work to do you may end soft bricking the device
but what you can do is root your phone then go to /system and remove all those useless apps which are not needed by system and you

i am using the firmware you told me to use which software can i use to root it sir ?

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/an...ad-root-unroot-2-3-3-2-3-7-a.html#post2130907
go to the above page and download the file according to your carrier then flash it in stock recovery you will get root
then use the app like systemapp remover to remove the unwanted system apps

to all those who have had similar issues with wifi tethering no matter what application was used for tethering i finally found the what was the problem!
i mainly use the samsung mini galaxy for only wifi tethering and had the problem of it stopping working due to the power save mode set to enabled in the wifi section of the phone ! ..i have tried just about every single rom i can find and still had the same issue even with a stock rom which dheeraj was kind enough to show me how to use the proper stock rom for my phone but that still didn't solve my problem so i done major research on this problem and found this menu which enables or disables the power saver option for the wifi and once you disable it the problem is solved! since i figured this out over 48 hours of good use and still running rock solid how it should be! the only problem is when you reboot the phone you must go back to the menu to disable power saver mode as it reset's back to it's default setting which is power saver mode enabled .
*#*#232338#*#* shows wifi mac address is how to enter this menu and disable power saver mode .,this code will only work on original stock roms or roms which is no higher than 2.3.6 .figured this out also trying various roms so no choice but to use a old rom to use this feature once you set it dont reboot the phone unless you need to . hope this will help others who use this little handset for tethering purposes and i want to thank xda developers for the wonderful work they accomplish for all of us to get the best out of our handsets god bless you all

galaxy ace wifi error (probably hardware broken)

Hello everyone, been searching far and wide here in xda and on good ol` google for a fix for the wifi error.
So far, I tried the codes, I tried flashing original firmware, then I rooted and flashed custom firmware, I tried to flash new modem .. ionno , lots of stuff, none worked.
When I go to the advanced menu in the wifi tab, I notice I have no mac address on the wireless, so probably the adapter is not being recognized or it's not communicating right.
Anyway , with all this said, it's probably a hardware fault, thing is I would like to open the phone up , tear it down, and get the motherboard out.
My question: would hot airing the motherboard help ? maybe someone tried it and got a successful story to share. If not, any kind of advice is welcomed. Thx !
