[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chargen2:
I'm new to Android, please be gentle. I have searched numerous sources for an answer to this. From what I can determine this is a change in Android that only provides for one screen timeout. IE, every time the screen turns off and I reactivate, I have to enter the security code.

Previously was using an N900, where I could turn off the screen on a 1-2 minute timer, but not have the security lock kick in for 1 hour of idle time.

Is there any way to implement the same behaviour with the SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
I second this question. I find this extremely annoying and would like to know an answer to this too!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chargen2:
A bit of relief I just found is to use widgetoid and the lock screen disable function. It temporarily turns off the the security lock. Haven't figured out the details yet but it seems to re-enable it after a timeout as well.

Not perfect but a definite improvement!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
Widgetoid does not work if you have a security policy (device administrators) in effect. :'(

Anyone know any app that allows you to set the security timeout differently than the screen timeout?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baron von bubba:
i came from n900 too, also miss the separate screen/lock timings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steefen:
me too!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baron von bubba:
believe it or not JUICEDEFENDER ultimate has this feature.

it goes a small step further in that you can have another (longer) time set for lock screen when the phone detects certain WIFIs. eg your home network.

the free and cheaper versions may also have this function, im not sure.

Did this work for anybody..? with device aministrators /corporate email locks..

And a follow up question, SG2 should have some form of hardware encryption - how does this work?

[Droid X General] dAii7:
This morning, I woke up and I grabbed my DROIDX and played some music. Suddenly, I received a text when the music was playing in the back and then it froze and it rebooted itself. And there it is, the DROID logo converting to the DROID eye. This has happened few times but not continuously. I called Motorola and they just told me sent it back for repair, but it will take 14 business days
[Droid X General] zwade01:
Better to call vzw if you're still under warranty and they'll overnight you a replacement and you can send in your defective one with the included prepaid packaging.
[Droid X General] rocko73:
Random reboots happen. I would do a data wipe and see if it helps. I have heard so many horror stories about getting replacements from Verizon-all replacements after 14 days of purchase are refurbs-some have gone through 11 phones with each one being worse.
[Droid X General] skennelly:
I'm on my second CLNR. Really no different than a new one. I can't say the new dx I bought had less issues than the clnr's. If that were the case, I would still have the original phone I purchased.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greigster:
I have had the SG2 for 5 days now and love the look and feel of the phone, but I am having a few problems with it.

When playing "Guns n Glory" and "Robo Defence" after about 5 or 6 minutes the screen freezes. I have to press and hold the home button and go into task manager to exit from these games before I can restart them, only for the same thing to happen again.

Also, I use wireless tethering during the day with the phone on charge but about every hour or more I lose tethering on my laptop although the phone still shows it as working and also shows a good charge. The phone is not rooted.

Any advice please.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greigster:
Could anyone kindly have a go at playing an intense game to see if they have a problem with the screen freezing up after 5 minutes please. I only have 2 days left to sent my phone back if it is just mine with the problem.

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemoninfluence:
If it's faulty, you have at least 28 days.

In fact there's a 6 months rebuttable presumption that if a fault is discovered, it was present at the time of delivery.

Don't worry about the 7 days distance selling thing. That's only if you've changed your mind but there's nothing wrong with the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greigster:
Thanks for that.

Its just that I am not sure if it is faulty or if it is the fault of the game software. I have not seen other reports of these problems from other SG2 owners.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
havent had any of these problems

been playing drag racer, tap fish, robot unicorns attack and robo defense
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceclaw:
yes i have had the screen freeze in robo defense, i figure the program just crashed. clicking the home button got me back to android.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greigster:
Thanks for that. It seems that only the game freezes and not the phone. Like you said, a press on the home key allows me to go to task manager and close the game.........but does not save that level:mad:

Today I tried playing it without touching the edge of the screen and that seemed to help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph00ny:
Same issue here.

They've been doing a lot of updates with bug fixes and maybe they changed something that's causing it to hang since it's listed as one of the games that worked from an earlier post

also try out grave defense HD. I'm liking it much better than robo defense so far
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
I think what you are seeing here is a two-tiered issue:-

1. The Exynos & Mali are new and certain Games will have issues. Eventually these should be sorted either by the games developer or Samsung.

2. As you know Games go through period updates. Sometimes these updates are for the better but then there will be the occasion fixing a bug or bringing in new features will cause issues with certain phones.

Basically let the games developer know of the situation and if required send them a LogCat of your phone whilst playing the game.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greigster:
Thanks for that, its just that other people have said that they are not suffering the same problem playing this game.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammizai:

There are more that I have uninstalled after it freeze.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justusheng:
I too have been having game freezes on my s2. Robo defence and guns and glory as the first poster said. also noticed cut the rope v1 at last box freezes alot. had my phone for almost a month, and have pushed these freezes aside as like most of you have said, most likely app fault. However im beginning to wonder if it is the phone. Its starting to become a trend. ie i get some games and some of them will freeze... really scared atm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph00ny:
At least for robodefense, it runs solid without sound turned on and same goes for handful of games. Also based on the description for robodefense, it sounds like sound issue exists on atrix as well.

Cut the rope has been rock solid but I haven't reached the last level yet
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justusheng:
Yea, on further reading, game developer for dungeon and dragons said it may have to do with a unstable sound system in the galaxy s2... Just got off the phone with samsung and they said that its got nothing to do with them..... looks like we'll just have to wait. Or play without sound.

Atleast i other people are having problems, so i guess its not just my phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinger1:
hello everyone,

this is my 1st post, and sorry if wrong section...

i have desire rooted.

bootloader : 0.83 S-ON (INCORRECT)

CORRECTION: bootloader : 0.80 S-ON

i've tried to flash a ginger-based custom rom.

and it was stuck on the HTC splash screen (no boot i guess)

tried every thing, from wipe, repartion, wipe all, reset data ....

so my question, is there a minimum version of bootloader required to install and run a ginger-based rom? as i had never applied an OTA update, once i rooted the device, i flash custom roms all the time, and never updated the hboot.

thanks in advanced.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Bootloader version does not matter. Are you using the a2sd versions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeraul:
Can you please provide more details like:

1.What rom are you trying to flash?

2.How did you partition your sd-card?

3.What recovery are you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinger1:
yes, the ROM i was flashing was supposed to be app2sd+

1-ROM:

AuraxTremeGinger v8.6 Gingerbread Sense 2.3.3

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052761

2- 1 GB ex3 using Amon RA.

3- Amon RA to flash the rom to.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
To be honest mate I tried most of the Gingerbread roms and only a few of them worked until I alphareved, I think the gingerbread roms defo require a different hboot, I could be wrong but until I changed to s-off nothing worked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeraul:
Well, Before I was s-off, I have successfully flashed many times the Insertcoin sense rom by baadnewz and many other similiar roms. I used 1GB ext 3 partition+96MB swap partition and the rest was fat32.

You should try this configuration.

In addition, what version of Amon ra's recovery are you using, for me both 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 have worked perfectly.

Good luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinger1:
well, thats what i feel to.

Mike:

when i reboot into recovery

i got at the bottom of screen

is it too old?

please can you provide the link to download the version of amon ra u r using

it will be last step before alpharev :)

thanks all.

Yeah, it is quite old , download 2.0.1 from here
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3CHN0M4NC3R:
hi guys, I recently failed to flash Auraxtremeginger 8.6 and I finally figured out why. It seems that Gingerbread prefers HBoot 0.93 so I...

1) flashed my phone with the latest official RUU(2.29 with HBoot 0.93 and I needed a gold card flashing from Auraxtsense 8.4 with Hboot 0.80)

2) and then reroot it with unrevoked

3) and then reset to factory settings, wiped Dalvik

4) and then install from zip in the clockwork recovery... and success...:D

*Note: No S-Off done in the process.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeptimiuB:
S-On, Hboot 0.93, never had any problem flashing GB roms. All worked fine (around 3 i tryed)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinger1:
hello everyone :)

i confirm, changing to Amon Ra 2.0.1 fixed the problem

now i have the Ginger rom flashed and running :)

CORRECTION: i have bootloader : 0.80 S-ON

Not 0.83

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameswalker1989:
Hello just wondering if anyone else his having this problem or heard of anything similar just looking for advise before I approach the phone company.

(Im in the British Military away on OPs atm so need to try and describe the fault, and hopefully get a good will replacement without the U/S phone sending back)

So anyways My LCD when open to a certain degree and sometimes when not open the screen Inverts. It also sometimes Freezes this happened before root as well as after so it isnt a software problem more of a hardware, It happens sometimes fully open sometimes certain degrees open and sometimes totally shut.

However if you move the screen around it will return to its normal condition which leads to me believing its not the LCD screen itself but that little cable that transfers Screen to phone hardware.

Just wondering If anyone can give me a confirmation? and perhaps some technical Jargon so I can pin point it down in my email. Any help is appreciated

Cheers!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
If its the cable that is the problem u can just swap it.

The keyboard/housing/ribbons are 59dollar on ebay.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameswalker1989:
Thats the problem im looking for ideas whether that might be the problem whether anyone has experienced it before. Im really remote in choices of what to do atm due to my circumstances so I was looking for whether anyone might identify this as the same as another fault they have had previously or a "common wear and tear" sort of fault if you know what i mean.

I do appreciate however without eyes on the devise that is very hard to do.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
Can you try and open the keyboard halfway then try to touch the cable with somekind of stick? And see if your screen messes up or not?

If it does mess up its possible that ur cable is damaged and causing problems.

Just wondering. Are you running custom rom? I know ur phone is rooted but u didn't say ur running custom rom or not.

[Defy General] perfproject:
Hi all,

My defy is bricked and all sbf files that I tried freez at the end of the boot (Moto logo or Android Logo, depending on the sbf file).

Here is the history:

1/ Original Rom. 2.2.2 (SFR france), no backup done

2/ Flashed with CM7 BETA 5.1, No backup done. It was OK, no particular issues except with 3G. On the first reboot, the terminal froze (CM 7 logo smoothly appears and nothing more).

3/ Since, I try to reflash it with RSD lite 4.9 and several sbf file.

4/ Flashing appears to be ok but I can't boot. I obtain a nice freez at the end of the boot sequence (moto logo or android log depending on the sbf file). Anyway, The terminal is still recognized by RSD Lite and I am aware that the battery must be fully charged.

Any idea before I sell my defy as spare parts :( ?
[Defy General] nepotu:
Did you wipe data and cache in stock recovery (to start phone in stock recovery: power+volume down; then press both volume up and down buttons) before flashing a new SBF?
[Defy General] perfproject:
Hi NEPOTU,

Right!! It is the first time I read that I must press up and down after I start the phone in recovery mode. Thus, I thought it was not possible to access recovery mode since I was blocked at the first step.

Indeed, I just accessed the recovery mode on the basis of your advice. I try to reflash after I make a whipe (data and cash) and get back to you to let you know whether I have been able to reflash my terminal properly.

Anyway, thanks a lot.
[Defy General] perfproject:

anyone know where that screen lock animation where it looks like it has the effect of a tv shutting down???? i saw it on youtube once

edit: it's the gingerbread lock screen animation

is it possible to get that animation for the vibrant?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jmcghee1973:
its built in to the 2.3 gingerbread kernel....so you need to run a ROM with the 2.3 kernel to get that effect.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] derrickps3:
oooh.....and what kernel is it on for 2.3? i might try it, but i am waiting for a stable gingerbread rom with a working gps before going back:p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Darvadouille:
Hi guys!

You don't need any special kernel I think.

If your phone is rooted, just install the app named "Screen Off and Lock" from the market.

It will allow you to choose different animations and... there is the one with the TV effect!

Enjoy!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] derrickps3:
holy crap are you kidding?:eek:....thanks bro

I use it too...it doesn't look as sweet as gb, but it'll hold me over till a stable gb rom is released. Also, you can program screen off and lock to work when you long press search
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] burntrat:
Looks like you have to click the special screen off and lock icon to turn off the screen. If you let it time out on its own or click the power on/off button, it just turns off the regular way.

[Gen8 General] Pete917:
I've seen in the market apps that claim to boost CPU to 1ghz. Is this possible?

Has anyone here overclocked their A101 and what kind of results have you seen?
[Gen8 General] spicy_puerto_rican:
Yes, it is very possible but you have to have partial temporary root or full permanent root via one of the following methods in order for the ocerclock to work:

1. Archangel one-click (temporary) root

2. Chulri's Root (permanent)

3. UrukDroid (permanent)

SetCPU is an application that almost everyone uses (as well as myself) that is guaranteed to work. It is well worth the $2 if you want to buy it or "download" it from other sources.

I personally have full permanent root access to my A101IT via Chulri's Method (because I found that it was the simplest to install) and am running mine at 1200 MHz with absolutely no lag/freezing whatsoever.

My Settings with SetCPU Version 2.1.3:

Scaling ondemand

1200 MHz - Max; 300 min ☑ Set on Boot

Profiles

☑ Enable

☑ Battery < 101% - 1200 Max

Priority: 100 - 300 Min

ondemand

Advanced

(Leave everything here the same unless you know what you're doing here).

Hope this helps.
[Gen8 General] Pete917:
Wow - thank you.

1.2ghz sounds amazing given mine runs stock at 800mhz. A 50% improvement must be really noticeable.

I will definitely give this a try. Like you msay $2 is not much considering the hike in performance you get.

What effect on battery have you noticed?
[Gen8 General] spicy_puerto_rican:
My battery drains dead from a full 100% charge in like 2-3 hours on average if I'm using it the entire time but sometimes 4 hours if I use it like once an hour or so.
[Gen8 General] Pete917:
So the overclock does kill the battery somewhat. Never md though as you dont get extra performance for nothing i guess:(
[Gen8 General] SWFlyerUK:
I assume you have the overclock kernel as i can't set setcpu to 1200 without it
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
@Pete917:

If your tablet runs at 800mhz you have done something wrong.

Since 2.1.08 you can run the archos with 1GHZ just with the stock rom.
[Gen8 General] jan_tsui:
Hi Guy,

I used Uruk for root, after that I use Milestone overclock to set the frequency to one more grade to 1.15, but it seem not stable enough, it will also hang.

Anyone have such problem on overclock? Or what I need to do for the stable overclock.
