i am asuming that you had that app pre installed when u got your device.

get pimbackup and backup all your contacts and sms and other stuff (it will creat a backup file on ur sd card which you can later use to restore all the stuff)

now factory reset your device .. and now you will have the app back again ..

and then download pimbackup again and restore back all the stuff

if you find my post helpful and want to thank me .. just click on the thanks button:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kai.Wagner:
Thank you for your help.

Might that be onother chance of reinstalling?

If I back the data up, and restore it afterwards, is it not overwriting everything and the problem will still exist?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
yeh so i format system and rebooted phone. Bored, changed like 10 ROMs in one day.

Is there a way to use a program to put a ROM, not stock onto the x10?

For example an .ftf file to flash it via x10 flash tool?

I don't have access to xrecovery, and i don't want to use SEUS for like the 4th time. :D

Hi

I have a question about charging the phone when I first get it. I wanna maximise the battery life. But usally when I first get the phone, the battery has a bit of charge. I've been told to charge 8hours.

So do i drain the remaining battery and charge 8hours with the power on

or

Do I charge it straight away even though its not low battery for 8hours

Or do I just charge it till the battery is full?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
drain it completely, than put it on the charger for like 8-12 hours

drain max again

charge it long time again

drain max again

charge it and your done

this will give u the max result of your battery
[HTC Incredible S] deepakmk:
Thank you very much. I shall try that, Should I Leave it on while charging?

Is it okay to play around with the phone while it is charging?
[HTC Incredible S] TimMun:
1; There is no need to do that with current technology batteries.

2; Once the battery reaches 100% it doesnt charge or do anything else.. so useless to leave it in for 8-12 hours.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
I second TimMun.

The process of charging the battery for 8 hours is for old batteries...

and i believe even that was a myth.. apparently the concept was that the acid in the battery needs to be charged for a LONG time for maximum efficiency.

I think you are good to go once the new battery shows full charge..

Hi,

Does somebody know where I can get the drivers in title!!

I have a brand new SGS2 and would like to root the thing. But it's a bit more tricky the my old SGS :)

In my device manager win7 x64 - I get warning on "CDC serial & SAMSUNG Android"

I have Kies and Android SDK installed and it will still not find the drivers.

Thanks in advance.

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rojdag:
have you plugged in the phone while kies is running mine wouldnt install the drivers till i did that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovex:
Its the same for me on one of my computers. It was all done correctly, but no drivers are found. Ive tried repeatedly and have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies but it makes no difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAJED.y:
Go to Kies directory in Program Files you will find a directory something like "USB Driver"

inside of it there's USB Driver for Galaxy S II, install it.

Problem solved. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojolive:
maybe this will help someone as well. I had the same problems as you above with these driver not installing. So what i did was the following

installed samsung kies V.2.2.2.11044 with the tel hooked up to the usb and the computer. I did not have USB debugging on in the : settings/applications/usb debug (unchecked)

then I let kies start did not find the drives, so I unhooked the tel. ( galaxy s2) and I enable USB debugging, plugged it in again, started kies and it found all rivers.. NOTE.. it found all drivers but I do not use kies other then to get the drives, I use Odin 1.8.5 which after this , Odin worked just fine.. so you can still upgrade, just without using this Samsung Kies. which sucks anyway :)

best
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyy7:
This worked for me:

Install kies and open it, connect you phone and let windows attempt to install drivers, then click tools drop down menu and click 'install driver', kies will then download the drivers for the phone. :)

Kies

I have tried all of the suggestions above except turning on USB debugging. None have worked.

different attempts give me different messages

Installing drivers does nothing.

Sometimes plug in says missing MTP

Sometimes plug in says missing CDC

Sometimes device recognized completely.

All cases, first plug in while kies is running causes kies' "devicemanager.exe" to crash followed by infinite connecting loop.

Any ideas PLEASE PM let me know
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noonski:
Manually install drivers but instead of choosing Samsung MTP drivers choose Mass Storage Drivers.

Update Driver >> Install from PC >> First Browse to the Program Files/Samsung/usb drivers folder then >> I want to choose from PC >> Choose Mass Storag e Driver.

Worked for me just now.

Great fix, worked for me. Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpark:
I Solved the issue this way::

Issue: Samsung Galaxy SII didn't find driver after kies update.

Solution: Uninstall the old kies completely + Samsung USB Driver..... which is installed.

Delete the files completely from program files to make sure we get everything new during next install... U may need to use a safe mode boot sometimes for a full delete.

Download latest kies from samsung.com to get an original fresh one.

Then do the install.. Plug in phone...

[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I'm having problems with FPSE. Runs great as long as I am not pushing buttons on the hardware and use the virtual keypad. As soon as I start pushing hardware buttons, FPS drops and it screams to a halt. Annoying as I bought my game gripper specifically for this.

I've messed with all the options. Nothing seems to fix it.

It does it across all hardware keys, including volume and camera. I don't even have the camera key assigned to anything, and the game still slows when pressing it.

I am running SRF 1.1.0 with Genocide, but I am 65% sure it was doing it even before I mucked up the courage to install a custom rom. I also have Impaler's fix flashed.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Edit: This also affects a range of games. Some games less than others, but some a lot. But every game I have tested sees some drop in FPS from using the hardware keys compared to the virtual pad.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
You can't tell me that no one else here has used FPse...

[Galaxy S II Accessories] LBTaylor1984:
I tried the safe case, it's a moulded rubber case, good fit, not too tight as i found on some cases this means it pings off. it has a smooth finish which isn't tacky, but at a 45 degree angle won't slide off your hand either.

nice product but to me it was a little thin, as i think in a fall it will cushion, but NOT absorb the impact, if your a careful owner it looks the sex, and work well for light falls. If you're like me and in and out of the car all the time and on building sites i recommend the Tough as the size difference is small but will offer a much stronger protection solution.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
I might be on to something here then..

Am using GladiAtrix 3 b0.2, before I installed it I did a battery stats reset through CWM

(advise from KennethPenn, dev of Gingerblur):

"""- Reset battery in CWM (under Advanced)

- Drain your battery to 0 percent and let it turn the phone off, then charge it back up to 100%."""

On my phone are more than 120 apps installed. Battery Manager is on "Maximum ".

The result is fairly amazing; the display time of almost 7 hrs is under heavy use; wlan & sync constantly on, Xscope & XDA app non-stop checking, market downloads, etc!! I have never had such good battery!

I advise everyone to do the above, it really helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budske:
are u using only GSM/EDGE?

about the battery mannager on maximum... if i leave my phone for more than 15 mins on the table... that means i wont get notifications or recive my Whatsapp and Facebook Messages??

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
That's right, only 2g unless I need 3g for data. I'm always around a wifi though.

No task manager, android 2.2 does all that automatically.

Not sure battery manager is so aggressive, I think it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
5 1/2 hours, with 3G turned on. Although the last 45 minutes of that it was just sitting at the launcher, I was waiting for the battery to die on it. I usually average 2-3 hours, but when I charge my phone I usually still have about 50% left.

Seeing as I rarely use data, I may have to try that 2G trick. Maybe I could charge it every other day instead of each night.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickroller:
My best "Screen On" time is close to 4.5 hrs running Greyblur. For those just posting "time since unplugged"..screen on time is a much better indicator for battery life imo because it means actual use. The phone sitting idle in your pocket or on your table for 48 hrs is misleading to some people because then they wonder why they're only getting 12hrs with 5hrs of actual "useage" (screen on time).

For my style of use..battery saver modes and apps don't do me any favors because then I miss out on my IM's which I rely on for most of my communication. And unfortunately 2G isn't an option any more for most of us Canadian users..as 2G has been pretty much phased out.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
Yep. Removes all the locks so you can wake it up with the volume buttons or the on/off button. Green Power doesn't recognise such a screen "turn-on", it conflicts. At least it did until 1,5 month or so ago, haven't tried since. Good app otherwise
