I am in the same boat. Can anyone help please !!!

Btw Dangelone, what does your phone model say in About Phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sam1forever:
I have the same problem to. I kept the stock rom and flashed the kernel and i got the same thing too. Im starting to think it's just the kernel that messes up the screen. :o

Anyone got a rom that works for the LG thrive P506? Most roms give messed up color display but functions all work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rondz:
I hope someone at least tries to make one, I can't because I have no idea where to start. I'm starting to think that the devs wouldn't even want to try since this is a lower-end Android phone and that they higher-end ones are more exciting. But for the goodwill of the community maybe there will be one good person who will attempt to make a fully functional custom rom for us LGP506 owners. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
backup ur stock kernel, flash custom rom, then restore stock kernel?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RichieRichyRich:
Okay, I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question but....I never really understood what a full wipe is...Is it where you wipe data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache? Or one of those 3 or 2 of them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
Full wipe = factory reset.

Your personal data will be wiped out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RichieRichyRich:
So do I need to wipe the cache partition as well or just factory reset?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
When u flash to a new rom a full wipe is factory /data, cache partition and dalvik

When updating from. Cm7 nightlies just wipe cache partition and dalvik and flash new nightly
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RichieRichyRich:
Thanks for the help guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nesx87:
Hello all.

I have a brief question. Under the settings menu in our sgs, there is an option to update etc. Has it ever worked with any update? For example, when the next update is available is it worth bothering to check through that instead of kies, or does it not work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syamsoul:
Always no update available :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
No. It's just there for decorative purpose. Seriously.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadey3:
can u access your phone at the moment? if u do use titanium back up to back your apps

than try updating.. if that doesn't work u can always use ODIN to flash froyo :D

or spooffw kies to get original updates :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortallkombat:
Well, thanks a lot. I can access my phone i hv no problem with my phone at all.....i already backep up with titanuim n mybackuppro.... I just gt hookes trying 2 use kies...... Do i need 2 do a factory reset to get my galaxy updated...... I really didnt understand ur last statement abt spooffw kies 2 gt original updates n am really scared of using odin.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Difficult to understand your post .

One kies will only update firmware if two conditions are met .

One their must be an update on the server for your phones product code .

Froyo should be on the server /

two kies can only update if the phone has correct id product codes etc that match firmware on the server . If the phone has been flashed then it will not match .

Rooting will not be the problem but you could unroot if possible .

Titanium backup pro will backup al your apps .

265 apps installed you may have no room for the update is one thought ,

Two before update turn off AV and firewall .

That fails two choices Samsung Service centre or unofficial path and learn how to flash firmware .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortallkombat:
thanks again .........i guess ur last reply was very good.............. i have never flashed my phone before...............and i dont hv problem with kies it detects the phone and starts the update but get to where it says........processing update components and stays there forever.......i have backed up and will try one more time now to update it again and see what happens if i still get stuck on that same screen am going to do a factory reset which i guess will unroot the device and clear all applications so i hope this works for me am so sorry its difficult to understand my post am not so very good at explaining but i guess u understand it enough
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortallkombat:
thanks again man and this are the screen shots of my kies .......dont know if it could be of any help........am trying again to update and am still stuck on that screen again the preparing update components screen .......am gonna leave it for a while then if nothing happens am gonna reset to factory settings and try again
[Xperia Arc General] Guntrol:
My Arc keeps crashing asking me to force close apps and the homescreen it lags like hell and it is getting worst all the time so bad that even opening my texts takes a couple more than 10 seconds... (I do have around 2000 texts though)

Unlocking the screen is laggy scrolling on threw the 5 homescreens is laggy...

Sync turned off.

No timespace widget.

Even after removing all widgets to test it it was laggy :(

I used advanced task killer to kill all the apps to try the quadrant test

and I only got 850-950 MAX!!

Compared to youtube videos that seem to get almost double scores why is my

Arc is slow is it faulty?

Is it because I only have 40mb of phone memory and about 500mb sd card memory left?

Will I just have to flash my phone and does that mean I will need to flash every 2 weeks???
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
I think you have installed some applications which caysing this problem :) I had this problem, then i flashed my phone again & installed apps again (didn't restore).. But i didn't installed all apps at once, i spent time & installed 2, 3 apps everyday to check if the app would make phone laggy or slow. Since then my phone is working awesome, my 16GB memory card is almost full, 400 MB internal memory is full (After root i have removed many useless system apps)... I have more than 4000 sms & there is no lag or slowness :) Quadrant score is 1650 :)
[Xperia Arc General] mosburger:
the only time i experienced lag was with adw launcher and no fc's yet, other than that the phone has been fast - then again i don't have as many apps or data on my phone as you. one thing i did notice is that my lcd's touch sensitivity seems to be lower than other arc's, maybe a defect, but it's pretty maddening in addition to all the reboots i've been having. i've been reading about others that have issues with the battery staying in place and like me, the random reboots, this is my first android phone, so not sure if these things are normal or if it just the arc.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
It's definitely apps.

Mine is superfast...
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Apps and possibly task killing the wrong things.. you need to make sure that if you're going to use a task killer, you really shouldn't us it on Auto.. and you should make sure to IGNORE anything that is a system task, or anything which persistently restarts.. killing those only wastes battery.
[Xperia Arc General] solidkevin:
Android isnt exactly the most stable os out their but if you know about the os and know its ins and outs it can not only be the fastest but the best os out there.

My recommendation is look up articles about using and optimizing the os, trust me it will do you a ton of good.
[Xperia Arc General] Alefthau:
Hi,

It seams that sometimes Android must be reflashed on a Device, especially on Tmobile Devices it will fix most of the problems.

Another tip: Uninstall the update of gmaps and reinstall it, on my device it blocks login to gmail and gtalk from one day to another! -.-

Greetings

Alef
[Xperia Arc General] devjadeja:
Nope the ARC does not Lag very often and i think its ur device's memory thats giving you the trouble along with that huge pile of messages .... or the Corrupt software that might have crept in ...

My advice would be to flash ur ARC ASAP and limit that 2000+ messages and u will see a difference. Avoid putting too many apps as well.

Arc is a Size Zero Lady ... Don't burden it with Heavy Foodstufff ...

Might create Digestion problems. Keep it Light and it'll stay FIT. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] iead1:
What do you mean "isn't the most stable"? I've been able to keep my phone on for weeks without a reboot. Seems stable enough to me.
[Xperia Arc General] Guntrol:
Ok turns out I had 110 apps I deleted al the heavy ones and am down to 60 now!! My phone now got 1200 on quadrant. I dont kill any system ups or have an auto task killer set up I just kill uneeded apps before I run benchmarks?

Plus I noticed I have some orange apps that keep coming up even though I never used them... I might have to debrand and try again but my phobe is much much more stable now thanks!!
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
chances are it wasn't the number of apps you had which was causing the problem, but that one of them (or possible several of them!) which you deleted were badly written and hogging the processor when they should have been sitting quietly in the background..
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Orange is well known for screwing devices with bloatware also.
[Xperia Arc General] wookiehimself:
Wow!!

That's a lot of apps you've installed and most likely loads of them are badly written like iceman said; I installed a file browser on mine not long after getting the phone which would pause the whole system for up to a minute, plus battery was highly drained.

I guess this is result of massively varied hardware for one mobile OS. (Plus bad programming) :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impulser91:
Hi Everyone,

I was running GR-11 last night. My phone started acting weird so i decided to reboot it. When it shut off it didnt turn back on. I hit the power and still nothing. I was eventually able to get into download mode with a combination of usb and buttons without battery. So i flashed back to stock. Still the same problem, if i turn the phone off i cannot get it to turn back on unless i pull out the battery, plug in the usb, put the battery in, wait for the charging screen then i can turn it on and remove the usb. However, when the phone is running it says USB connected even though there is no usb cable connected. If i leave the usb cable plugged in while the phone turns on i can use ADB but cannot mount as drive.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

tldr; phone constantly says usb connected. Cannot mount as drive. Cannot use adb unless phone boots with usb connected.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Sounds like a broken usb port. Get a Warranty replacement.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impulser91:
Well darn.

I had read a thread about possible corrosion of the usb contacts on the phone so i used an emery board to clean the contacts but no luck. i guess it will have to go in for warranty repair on monday.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc103:
The handful of stock Froyos I've worked with all had sticky USB notification after use in development mode. They'd be unconnected but the icon and message remained.

If you can't do the extra clicks for mounting when the message is valid and connected; that plus your booting problem points to a port malfunction.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impulser91:
Yup my rogers corporate rep agress and they are sending me an advance replacement for delivery early next week.

Glad i was able to flash back to stock :p
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garoto1973:
Hi there, forgive my noobiness, I dont even have a Nook yet , but I want to be ready when I get it next Monday!!!

I burned the Phiremod_HC_Dual boot image to my sd (8gb Transcend class 6). But now I want to extend the 7th partition to use the remaining space.

Is there a link that explains how to do it? I have seen it referenced in a lot of posts in a very matter of fact way ("just extend the 7th partition with EASUS") but I have no idea how to do it. Can someone explain? Should the end result be that the 7th partition appears with a FAT32 label?

This is how it looks right now after I burned the img with Win32DiskImager:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MS3FGX:
The idea is to expand that last partition (the one labeled "sdcard") to take up the remaining unallocated space on the card. Since the sdcard partition and the unallocated space are next to each other (in other words, there is no existing partition in between them) it is no problem to expand the sdcard partition to take up the remaining 3.78 GB.

The usual advice is to use EASEUS Partition Manager, though as I don't have a Windows computer I can't personally vouch for the software. You should be able to simply right-click on the sdcard partition from within EASEUS and select "Resize". The rest should be pretty obvious.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garoto1973:
Done! Well that was easy, thanks for the explanation!
[HD2 General] Gunnsn:
So my dad tried to flash another ROM on his HD2.

When you simply try to turn it on, it vibrates and the screen goes white and stays that way.

When you go to the bootloader, it looks like this:

http: //seven-days-later.de/bricked.jpg

(Sorry, I'm new here, and not permitted to post links.)

Any try to put any other ROM on it either fails with this, frozen:

http: //seven-days-later.de/freeze.jpg or the program doesn't even manage to connect via USB.

Flashing from SD either just won't work (the white screen lights up shortly and goes away, faster than I can see what it says) or exits with error '00028002 not allow', depending on the ROM we try to flash.

Our best guess is, since the device's internal name is not a valid identifier of an HD 2 (the strange characters on the first screenshot), the ROMs/bootloader doesn't allow them to be flashed. What do you think?

Does anyone have an idea how we can get the system working again?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok this is a new one for me, I have never seen this in bootloader before.

I will help you out with the links as others here need to see this, bricked.jpg and freeze.jpg.

Ok you say it will not show USB inm the white bar of bootloader, correct?

Do you have the latest version of ActiveSync (XP) or WMDC (Vista, Windows 7) installed on your computer? Go here if not or not sure. It has USB drivers for the HD2.

Do you know for sure you have a good USB cable?

When you tried to flash via SD card did you use a 4 gig or smaller SD card freshly formatted with a full wipe and Fat 32?

Also do you have a TMOUS (T-Mobile US) HD2 or a International HD2?

Edit: I see from the freez.jpg that you have a International HD2.

If installing the latest version of ActiveSync or WMDC gets USB in the white bar then down load HSPL 4 linked in my guide that I have klinked in my sig and install HSPL 3.03 then try to flash the ROM. You cas use HSPL to revert back to SPL if want once you have flashed.
[HD2 General] happyhallsy8:
looks like nand corruption... try redoing an original rom from sdcard
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Seen this a few times,, corrupted deviceID meaning everything fails, including goldcard, since nothing recognises it as a hd2 so refuse to flash.

No advice for you, other than there are a few threads here with that issue, which you should hunt down and read (search for "corrupted device ID") and of course you should try everything, SD flash, goldcard, hspl,,,sadly I'm fairly sure none of them end well. I hope I'm wrong.

JTAG would maybe do it.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I am with Sam here on this one I think JTAG can correct the Device I.D. cause it has a direct connection to the NAND chip and allows you to run diagnostic software on the NAND chip then correct any problems as long as it is not any physical damage to the NAND chip.

PM me if you are interested in JTAG, I can put you in touch with someone that can do it and is a professional.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thremix:
Just wanna know if removing this would harm anything....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thremix:
Really.... No one knows? Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] vletoh:
I'd like to know too. Same applies for HTC Message Uploader. Since I have a HTC phone with Android 2.3 HTC added quite some applications and services to the background which are to say at least a bit doubtful.

Maybe someone knows the answer to this one: suggest removing/uninstalling would harm the functioning of the device, would hard-resetting the device reverse to its initial state?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
If you're trying to remove these things, my guess is you have root?

If so, do a Nandroid backup and remove it. If everything's still functional, awesome! If something isn't working right anymore, restore to your backup
[HTC Inspire 4G] monty80:
I have installed link2sd it allows you to freeze a perticular application. Once you do that no service or application or user can run this app.

Try doing that and you ll come to know if your phone can work without it or not. and then you can uninstall to save space.

Hello everyone,

There is a lot of information on international users buying the SGSII from UK stores but I wanted more information related to Canadian buyers as I looking at the phone with a lot of interest.

I wanted to know where you guys got it from, the amount you paid for it (tax and customs included ideally) and what is your opinion on the phone on canadian networks (ideally rogers): I am very interested in the speed you guys are getting on HSPA+ and how much of a hassle it was to get the phone to work on Canadian networks (I am expecting none).

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] MaelstromXC:
I placed an order through Handtec UK as they are the cheapest I can find. The second cheapest is Expansys US (see calculations below). As for tax and customs, if you are getting the shipping from UK through FedEx, the brokerage fees are already included in the shipping. You will only have to pay for the tax (no duties here). For provinces with HST (13%), it will be about $99 depending on the exchange rate they use.

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php...free-unlocked-

£429.99+£14.99(shipping)=£444.98 (approx. $704.5 CAD)

Even from Expansys US (a few bucks cheaper than Expansys CA)

$749.99+$19.95+$56.25(7.5% tax)-$15(coupon)=$811.19 USD

With ebates' 3% cash back.... $811.19*0.97=$786.86 USD (approx. $754.75 CAD)
[Galaxy S II General] C0mbe:
I got mine from Expansys for $750 + $81 in duties. Works out of the box with Bell, didn't even need to put in the APN settings. It's a sweet phone... fast as hell. I hate Sammy build quality but ill overlook it for the hardware...
[Galaxy S II General] nox156:
what kind of speeds are u getting on HSPA+?

Is build quality that bad? The back is plastic... whats so bad about it? I mean.. as long as you have a quality screen and quality hardware i dont get what can be so bad expeciallt if u use a case... am i wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] PearsonDKA:
So it would be $704.50 CAD + the $99? In Toronto btw.

Roaming the forums on the XDA app.
[Galaxy S II General] MaelstromXC:
Yes, I've only placed my order. It's not even shipped out yet, but this is what other people are saying and I've also confirmed from calling Customs and FedEx.
[Galaxy S II General] PearsonDKA:
Good to know. Lemme know how it goes. I'm itching to hit that "checkout" button.

[Galaxy S II General] Deliximus:
there's a LSMAY25 discount code you can punch in for expansys for $25 off. i'm waiting for mine. ordered on Friday.
[Galaxy S II General] crimper:
SN traders should get it soon.usually their price is better than importing yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] Bakedbread:
if handtec is around 800$ after everything , shoudlnt ordering from Expansys be cheaper with the coupon codes?

Since Expansys has a Canadian site wouldnt there not be the $99 brokerage/customs/tax as its already been factored into the price?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Kakarot:
I ordered from handtec as well, it cost $703, shipped fedex, arrived 2 days after launch.... And I only had to pay the gst/pst $60, I'm in winnipeg.

When I put in the sim card, everything worked instantly! I average 3 megs down and 2 up...just like all my devices. I am on rogers, I am loving this phone
[Galaxy S II General] nox156:
3 mb down looks terrible, do you have HSPA+ coverage? I thought it would be more along the line of 10 mbps, I was getting 7-9 mbps on HSPA with an xperia ARC in montreal. I was expecting even better speed due to HSPA+ coverage, can others run a speedtest and post the results they are getting?

thank you
[Galaxy S II General] MaelstromXC:
I don't have any coupon codes for the Canadian site. At least, I didn't try them on the CA site. Also, I am not sure if the brokerage/customs/tax are already factored into the price on the Canadian site either. So, I went with the one that I know about.

EDIT/UPDATE: I tried the $25 off coupon and it works on Canada site, but I still need to pay for 13% tax for Ontario and it turns out to be $17 more than Handtec.

Price $728.56

HST (13%) $94.71

Voucher code: -CDN $24.22

Standard Shipping: $17.95

Total $817.00
[Galaxy S II General] elena11:
Anybody have an idea when will be the North American release date? Also is it going to be I9100 or I9103?
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
The $99 is for tax (13%HST), Expansys canada charges the same thing, it shows 7.5% tax but when you change your province it charges the tax accordingly, so it ends up costing you more even with $25 coupon code.

I'm curious about the SN Traders website now, I didn't know they existed. And their office/shop is right near my house too so maybe I'll check out their exchange offers as well. Thanks crimper.
[Galaxy S II General] twigggs:
I got mine from Hantec in the UK.

Shipping was overnight and I paid $720 total for everything. I had zero problems getting it on Rogers and my speeds are the same I had with the Nexus S and Galaxy S.

Right now I am looking for a decent case.
[Galaxy S II General] nox156:
does that mean that we can't get the phone to work on HSPA+ to work in canada?

we should be seeing great speeds in urban areas
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
as long as you are on Rogers/Fido you will get 4G
[Galaxy S II General] nox156:
then why does nobody seem to be able to get the increased speed of HSPA+, everyone seems to report speeds similar to their HSPA devices
[Galaxy S II General] Deliximus:
Are there gonna be brokerage fees from Fedex??
