Can I ask why you said we may not ever see S-Off?

Thanks.

Cause If alpha rev x can't find an exploit then it simply won't happen. HTC patched the one they were gonna use. If u think u can s-off this device give it a shot. But from where I stand unless HTC leave and hole for us in the ics update we won't see it. And that's IF we even get a new bootloader. Which we may not.

I suggest you read this thread in its entirety:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1309471

It is always a good idea to look and read before you open yourself up to flaming...

I don't care what that thread say. (Although I been watching that thread and actually contacting the developers) Revolutionary said the Exploit was patched enough said.

Edit: back on topic!

I did a clean install and checked this early on. Settings menu shows Wi-Fi Calling "disabled". Did not restore anything with system settings, etc.

Any suggestions (like reflash - although that I believe wipes all data)?

A superwipe then flash may solve the problem .. Since others didn't face such problem ..

Hey guys, I justed tested my theory on wifi tethering with this rom. First I kept on being directed to the tmobile website. I tried adding the New APN method, but it wouldn't work
I then made a fresh install w/ superwipe
add new APN FIRST (before touching any wifi tethering/calling features)

wifi tethering working flawless... im using it right now.

Thanks for the feedback!

So I might want to rebuild my ROM with different base. I think I will choose Telus base. Is it better then t-mo?

I would like to try your ROM. Would this ROM work on a Telus hardware? Would it work 100% on it? I know Amazing Quicksense has a Telus Patch for other harware to work. If not, please do Telus users a favor for this base as per your post.

Thanks in advance.

I believe the telus base is a bit better it contains almost no bloat apps. one request could you please add the APN's in your next release? no big deal if you cant.

@killathenoob, i believe you have installed this ROM cause you are waiting for the next release. Are you using Telus hardware and is everything working without applying the telus patch from xboarder (i.e. wifi, etc...)?

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

ah sure, what apn's? any specific ones?

I believe the code for Telus is 302220. This what shows on my SGS.

I was on xborders quicksense rom before this one and yes I did have to flash the stock kernel to get wifi working. yes i am using a Telus Phone. Everything is working perfect as far as i know. And i installed this rom because i have had 3 past HTC phones all with wike1986 ARHD roms on them he does great work.

@mike1986 - What I was asking about is to have the telus APN already set up in the rom so when i flash it in the next release I dont have to manually enter it. not a big deal I just know your other roms were like that.

Which New APN Method are you talking about? Just wondering because I didn't see it in this thread.

I'm also being directed to the T-Mobile website during wifi tethering to a tablet.

    1. If you want to say "Thanks!"

    There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:
    • Press the "Thanks" button.
    • Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
    • Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
    • Advertise my work to your friends.
    • Rate my thread with 5 stars.
    Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!

    2. Sharing policy

    This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:
    • Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
    • Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
    • Give proper credits for what you used.
    • When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
      obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

    Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
    • ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
    • Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
    • Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.

    If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​

    4. Signature banners for users

    Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.
    • Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
      Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!

    • Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
      Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!

    • Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
      What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.
    Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

    Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

    faq.png


    Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
    A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
    Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
    And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
    For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

    Q 2: My Premium Navigation doesn't work correctly. What should I do?
    A: Your Premium Navigation may not work correctly for many reasons. Most of them are not ROM related. You can try the following things:
    - reinstall your Locations under "Settings" ---> "Locations"
    - remove /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary from your SD card
    - re-download Google Maps from the Android Market
    - clear data from Google Maps in system software management

    Q 3: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
    A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

    Q 4: After I reboot my device, mp3 ring-tone is back to default. What should I do?
    A: Go to Ringtones > Menu > More Ringtones > Create new ringtone > Select the one you want (Thanks to kill4l)

    Q 5: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my phone.
    A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

    Q 6: After flashing Android Revolution HD my SD card is being mounted as ready only. What should I do?
    A: Connect your SD card to your PC and do defragmentation process. If you still have some problems with SD card, please read this.
    Mac users can use the repair function of the MacOS disk utility to solve the read only problem (Thanks to Calimero1205).

    Q 7: My CPU load is all the time nearly 100% and in most part it's used by system. What is the reason of that high CPU usage and how can I fix it?
    A: Delete your htcsense.com account. It takes A LOT of your battery and CPU usage.

    Q 8: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
    A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
    Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

    Q 9: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
    A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

    Q 10: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
    A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

    Q 11: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
    A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

    Q 12: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
    A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1.5GHz.
    If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

    Q 13: When I listen to music from HTC stock player it accidentally pauses for short time and then keep playing.
    A: Turn OFF fastboot in settings.

    Q 14: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
    A: There are some solutions:
    1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
    2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
    3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
    4. Read this, this, this & this
    5. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android

    Q 15: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?
    A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

    Q 16: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
    A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
    There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
    What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
    Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

    Q 17: I have com.htc.bgc process force close few times a day. How can I fix it?
    A: It's because you have removed HtcTwitter.apk (HTC Twitter application). Please restore it.

    Q 18: My screen-lock sound and keypad sound while dialing numbers is very low. How can I fix it?
    A: Download "Quick Settings" application from Android Market and check system volume slider.

    Q 19: When I open up the call screen (where I see the recent calls and callers), the calls won't appear in the list. What to do?
    A: Probably you are using 3rd party launcher. Remove the dialer shortcut and re-add it.

    Q 20: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
    A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.​
