i'm having a similar issue with my galaxy s - not the unusable touch screen, just the unrecognizable usb connection.

I have tried several different cables, 4 different operating systems(w7, xp, ubuntu 1010 and puppy), 3 different computers, running normally and under download mode. my win 7 system had its drivers set up properly with kies working fine (and odin for that matter) as of a few months ago and nothing has changed since then so my drivers are fine.

visual inspection of the usb port shows no damage and i've cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol.

under ubuntu, what do you get from the terminal command lsusb? i get nothing, just my other connected devices. i also get unknown device in windows

Last option for me i think is to flash a different kernel, but i'm not entirely optimistic about that one. pretty much ready to send it back to the service centre, but i'll be waiting until i get myself an S2 so i'm not without a phone...

in your case, i think you're **** out of luck - i think send it back to the service centre asap. good luck :(
[Vibrant General] cafg10:
Lsusb shows nothing, since the kernel says in dmesg that the devices rejects he usb address. And a second strange sympton is that the port on the pc stays unusable after the cell phone is unplugged and no other device makes it works

Hi all

After rooting and installing clockworkmod recovery from ROM manager but i want to install new rom only 4 option exist ghey are ;

Reboot system now

Apply sdcard:update.zip

Wiipe data/..

Wipe cache/..

Also show

Multicsc : src /system/csc/XEU/system/

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
you are still on stock recovery,

i assume ROM manager will of created update.zip so what you need to do is select : apply sdcard:update.zip

you may need to do this 2-3 times before automatically going into CWM (you will notice the difference)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwtiyar:
How to out from stock? Or how to fix and getting options like backup/restore .?

I changed the rom name to update.zip but also doesnt work.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
arrrr....... im sorry i misread your post.

you dont have CWM at all. either try ROM manager again. or flash CF-Root / kernel thru Odin, that will give you 2e / CWM recovery which will allow you to flash the ROM.

You CANNOT flash ROMS with 3e (stock) android recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
you can only install CWM via this method if your recovery is version 2e (or something like that)

if you want to be sure check your rom version and find a hacked kernel (speedmod or voodoo) with CWM and install it using the PDA box in odin nothing else (no pit, no modem etc) and make sure repartition is unchecked. I found this worked when others methods failed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwtiyar:
Yes its 2e

There is any method without odin?

Because iam.using linux.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
there is an equivilent app for linux cant remember what it is but if you search you should be able to find it in these forums.

Hi guys,

So I took a look around and couldn't find anything comprehensive. I'll be picking up the S II tomorrow and it's going to be my first android phone so I was wondering if there was anything that you recommend doing right away or tips that you could give me?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Creating a Google account(if you don't already have one) before you get the phone probably. And test everything out on your own I guess, it's alot more fun to find out yourself.

Are you getting it with phones4u?

First time charging

I haven't kept up with the trends, but does the initial long charge ideal still hold ?(Samsung commonly require 8-12 hrs of uninterrupted charging for the 1st time)

And can someone confirm what the manual says?

Play some tegra2 based games and see if they work well on the samsung processor.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
There is a lot of debate on what to do for Charging the device. From what I have gathered, a proper way to "Condition" the battery is to continuously charge it uninterrupted for 8 hours, then use is all the way until the battery is depleted and shuts off. Then charge it uninterrupted again till its full. Do this cycle 2 to 3 times.

I don't want to start another argument on what to do, you will be the best judge but I have done that with my previous devices and have had a very strong battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
download launcher pro, and beautiful widgets and take touch wiz off loll that's what I'm gonna do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDpak:
Sorry for being a stickler for details, but during the first 8 hour uninterrupted charging, you can use the phone right ? Don't mean like light usage (incoming calls, sms etc), more like.. i've got a new phone and i want to explore every new feature...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBlueGreen:
The trend of charging your phone for X amount of hours before using it was with the old batteries... You dont need to charge these new ones for X amount of hours before using the phone.

Lolz...

Tell you what, when I get this phone, I am going introduce my iPod Touch and Samsung Blackjack to its successor, the Galaxy S2. Before the official unboxing, I'm going to dance with the package for a little while with Chris Bott's Let There Be Love, "then" do my unboxing video. I waited too long, :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
Hmm if you did not want a debate you should not have posted this. :)

With all due respect, here we go...

While I agree with you (no facts - just personal experience) that full charge-discharge cycle could potentially be beneficial, I have to disagree with the 8 hour charge claim.

Blindly "charging" for 8 hours only applies to archaic nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries your grandparents used.

Modern Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries are charged ELECTRONICALLY using a certain predefined and automatically adjusted scheme!

For example, if your LiPoly battery is rated 3.7 volts, the circuitry inside phone/battery will charge it at max current and 4.2 volts, then will gradually lower the current to predefined value, and that's where the circuitry will declare the battery is charged 100%.

If you try to charge a Lithium (Ion or Polymer) battery for 8 hours, it will explode. So all these batteries have circuitry inside them, and matching circuitry inside the phones to prevent overcharge and to precisely follow the specific charging scheme.

Getting closer to SGS2 - the phone and the battery will tell you (by displaying a message in the notification bar) that your battery is charged 100%, after they internally follow the proper charging scheme. Most lithium batteries usually take 2-3 hours to fully charge from near zero, if the circuitry in them is properly working. If it does not, the battery may explode - usually happens with aftermarket garbage.

Once charged, the circuitry CUTS OFF charging even if your power cable is still plugged in. The charging will resume once the charge in the battery falls by usually 2%. At this point the circuitry will top it off to 100%.

So if you leave your cable in for 8 hours, your battery gets charged in 3 hours, then goes through 5 hours of microscopic 2% discharge/charge topping off cycles. You just violated your own idea of 2-3 cycles of full charge/discharge, because you charged once fully and then charged a hundred times from 98% to 100%.

Here is a good link on charging Lithium Ion batteries to read while your are waiting for the delivery of your SGS2 ;)

P.S. I have found that you can trick the battery circuitry with properly timed float charge, into releasing hidden capacity from some batteries :) But that is not really easy to explain or reproduce, and probably should not be done.

[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
ive just about had it with sprint latley for somereson my data is getting slower and slower after playing around with all the prls thx to oostah that helped for a little while but now its gotten so slow i cant stand it so i decided to give sprint a call today to see if there was something wrong with the local tower because weve had a line of bad weather, but ofcourse they said there was nothing wrong and she said she was going to do some trouble shooting with my phone. first she did a refresh witch just updated my profile and didint really do anything then she wanted to do some other trouble shooting witch would require me to hang up and have a call back phone witch i do not have so i told her i would hav another phone later this evening around 5:30-6:00 so if they dont pull a rabbit out of the hat and do something crazy im going to be pissed lol. does anyone know what they do during this process i did revert everything back to stock so nothing messes up.

its so dumb to i used to get over 1200kbs down without a problem three weeks ago but now i barely get over 400kbs and ive searched high and low on xda for every possible data tweaks almost getting obsessive about but nothing helps grrrrr im pissed......... end of rant :mad:

on another note i cant believe psn is still down what is this world comming to lol.
[Hero CDMA General] dpeeps74:
The world is ending in 3 weeks anyway. I'm pretty sure they won't do anything you haven't. Normally calling cell support equates to checking the box one you're doing as much as most of us here.

[Hero CDMA General] herouser26:
I have had nothing but problems since updating the PRL to 60677. I drop a lot of calls now, but oh well i guess i will just have to wait for another update. the only thing that has helped with speed is kinfos mod. But i still drop calls a lot and get network fails.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
theres already a new prl update lol
[Hero CDMA General] herouser26:
Ya I noticed that right after I left this thread. I updated to the newest one so i will see if that helps. LOL
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
so..... sprint finally called me back and the guy was actually pretty nice i have to give them props for stepping up there customer service. but ofcourse he did the usuall pull battery and update profile after i did that i ran a couple speed tests and the highest i got to was ping 186 493kbs and around 390 upload and he even admited that was horrilbe for 3g and i agreed lol. so after that he told me to go to the dialer and dial ##3282# and i told him i already had the msl number and he was a little suprised, but he was cool about it i thought i was going to get a scolding lol. then he told me to go to data profile press menu and hit restore witch takes everything back to stock so then my phone rebooted and it did a hands free activation and i had to do a another profile update and i ran another couple speed tests and still my speed bareley got over 400 and he was kind of dumbfounded because i actually do have a decent signal at my house so then he gave me a long number and told me to go to my local sprint tech store to see if theres something wrong with the phone itself.

so overal i would give customer service a 8.5 out of 10 even though nothing really changed.:(
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
hmm very strange my data is working good all the sudden my ping could be a little lower but ill take it lol i wonder how long this will last though.

Has a different version of Sense than the Inc. The phone says it's version 2.00.0000.339629. Has some UI differences, some new widgets, and more power settings (it has an auto power saver and a fast boot option that prevents apps from auto launching it looks like).

It seems a little more responsive than the Inc, but not amazingly so

The gallery does look different, you get a tiled view of all the photos, tapping on any of them makes it full screen, and swiping keeps it full screen. But I don't have a lot of experience with the Inc gallery

The screen has a LOT of glare. Like, a LOT of glare.

As comparisons go, it looks like a bigger shift, in that it has the rounded edges on top and the longer speaker bar on top. It looks cheaper since the glass does not go to the edge of the phone, so you see more plastic.

When you connect it with the USB cable you hve new options, Internet Connection Modem Media Sync, and Internet pass through

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emkorial:
Yes I am, and yes this thing gave me a headache, the screen is SUPER glare-y

It has the same little dot that lights up when plugged in on the Inc, but it is a lot brighter.

I am very senstive to screens, but the screen is MUCH harsher to look at than the Inc's AMOLED, even worse than the SLCD on the newer Inc's and the Shift. If you are at all sensitive to glare, this thing will kill you. Even with a matte screen protector it was giving me problems.

Didn't have a chance to make a call, however, the reception was no better than my Inc. In my building my Inc often drops to 1X from 3G, and the Inc2 did the exact same thing at the exact same places. So I wouldn't expect any difference in reception.

It really doesn't feel like an Incredible 2, it feels and looks much more like a keyboardless Evo Shift. The hardware design looks a lot cheaper.
