[Galaxy S II General] Komatoes:
I'm not aware of any NFC SGS2's in the UK now. It would be all over the news sites if they were here.
[Galaxy S II General] jojo2peter:
Well, you all shouldn't care, there will be sdcards, with nfc chips, soon...

//read it on engadget.com but didn't find it atm :-S
[Galaxy S II General] parker7:
i'd rather wait for the iphone 5. I'm tired of the data dropping out on my Galazy 2 and i'm tired of having to flash another just to fix a phone that at the price it sells for, should work. Samsung release these phones with too many problems, if it isn't freezing something to prevent battery drain, it's doing something else. Why bother waiting for NFC on a samsung, it will only be another problem that needs fixing.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Is there a price difference between the two models?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
I reply (WITH CONFIDENCE) that the Galaxy SII supplied by orange do not come with NFC hardware enabled. Not even Samsung repair centre says there will not be any nfc sgsII in UK for some time. Sorry but Not in the U.K ANYWHERE For now and for a few months at least.

Enjoy your sgsII nfc can be put on sim cards & microSD's by your bank/carrier.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
EDIT: FALSE INFO. SORRY BUT NO NFC HARDWARE ENABLED SGSII HITTING U.K. (FOR NOW AND A WHILE AT LEAST -SPOKE WITH SENIOR ENGINEER AT ANGEL, LONDON -SAMSUNG REPAIR CENTRE)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igormujan:
I am new here. I rooted my phone recently, but now i want to sell it an at least need to remove the s-off completely or just the picture at the start of the boot.

I've some threads, and apart from reflashing to official RUU, I dont see any other way.

I also tried this method, but with no luck.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225

can you give me any other sugesetions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orsidoc:
unebootin works but your rom has to be an non data 2 sd because it interferes...try with oxygen then you can flash your rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutgerhoorn:
Why don't just change the splash screen?

Use search for a guide to change it.

Good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Running the RUU will get it back to 100% stock - removing S-OFF and putting it back to an 'out of the box' state. Best way to do it if you're going to sell the unit.

Just use the right RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igormujan:
Thanks a lot for the help :)

Just one question, if i run the RUU will the phone recieve OTA updates (sorry if what I'm asking is silly)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
I think you should get them then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy2.2:
I see some people have mentioned jigs which force the phone into download mode; does this mean the phone is effectively unbrickable? :D

I never bricked my SGS but its always nice to have something cheap to fall back on if something messes up.

Also I've seen some links to Jigs which cost near £100 - http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/PID-GH99-36900A.aspx?model=SCH-R560TSAMTR

But there are ones on ebay for like £5. - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-Galax...ile_Phones&hash=item19c5741bea#ht_2489wt_1298

Is there a difference between them?

cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stian230:
This is definitely hard to brick it. When you can force it into download mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Hard to brick yes unbrickable a very very big NO .

Idiots are everywhere .

Cheap jig will be OK especially if you buy from an XDA guy .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
The SGS2 is recoverable as long as the bootloader isn't corrupted, broken wiped or otherwise "on vacation" - which CAN happen depending on what you do.

But as long as the bootloader stays OK, it's kind of "unbrickable", even totally wiped system, kernel and modem partions aren't really a problem.

The Jig forces the phone to boot into bootloader mode (from a backup bootloader even, if neccessary), but usually the "three button combo" does the same.

Some guys were trying to find out how to boot a bootloader from the external SD card - if THAT would've been found out, it would REALLY make it totally unbrickable, so lets hope someone figures it out :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blickmanic:
that would make it the best phone ever :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savingeye:
I guess it did manage to corrupt the bootloader, which I cannot figure out how as it was connected to kies when I lost power.

I checked and the battery is charged. Windows recognizes it as SEC s5PC100 Test B/D but that's it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Well, it *has* to be possible somehow, or how else would Samy reflash such phones.

Haveing to open it up for some SPI magic or even completely replacing it would be way too cost intensive.

My guess is they drop in a specially prepped SD card, insert Jig, run Odin, send back - or maybe even without the Odin part, the bootloader on the SD card might already be able to completely reflash the thing.

That sounds like the Jig could actually help you.

Try to get into downloadmode using the Jig and then flash a full stock FW via Odin.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongostl:
Hey Ya'll--

I just joined the NS club (coming from a MT4G, G2, and the N1).

Anyhow, I notice a noticeable difference in speed between my mt4g and the ns (with the ns losing this battle).

I'm running both on the newest CM7 nightlies, and it just seems that I'll hit lag when opening apps, using menu items, etc... on the NS that I never do on the MT4G.

Anyone else notice this? Do I just have a bum unit? Is CM7 not very fast on the NS?

Help! I had thought these two were pretty comparable hardware-wise....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linus82:
In my experience i didnt like CM7, try another rom instead.

The ns itself is pretty darn fast, so check out some other rom, like NScollab.

Thats my favorite anyways.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongostl:
I'll try it, but isn't that just a CM-based ROM with a different kernel?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linus82:
More of a mix between cm7 and stock
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtroX_cc:
I had myt4g and now ns. To be honest, I tought i'd miss the 256 M of RAM, but apparently I don't...so far. I use stock rom on both, then cm7 on myt4g and it was smoother. I'll keep u posted after I put cm on ns. What I miss here is the 720 HD recording, but that's another story...

Regards!

EDIT: After 18 hrs of intense use, no lag.
[TG01 General] jonnyhall1bmx1:
are we ever going to have wp7 on our tg01 ? just because we dont have the 3 buttons and the capacitive screen on our tg01 does that mean we cant have wp7? i mean we still have a powerful 1ghz snapdragon cpu and a decent ram. surely there is a way around this little problem. ;)
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
No. Anyway nokser who 'apparently' got wp7 working has sold his tg01 and moved on like Others. Still is a great device and served me well. I use it as a handy backup now for data.

what you mean???
[TG01 General] jonnyhall1bmx1:
yeah ither android or wp7 is good really :) i have noticed android developement has slowed down tho or maybe even stopped i dont know but if thats true why leave something half finnished? haave the developers for android just quit?
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
android development stopped way back in november-december. i doubt it would ever continue progress. nowadays, the hd2 devs have moved on, so i doubt you would see them coming back to develop for older devices.

Cotulla is the best dev around, who wasthe main hd2 porter for wp7 and android. and he also ported android for the hd mini.

anyway, even if android is finished, there will still be many problems, like poor battery life due to the kernel not built for the specific device etc. the hd2 even with amdroid/wp7 isnt perfect. it sucks up battery twice as fast as wm. so imagine that on tg01's....

Hi guys;

I have several question about this magnificent phone:

1) Right now I have GingerBlur version 2 Installed (with root +recovery mod). What do I need to do in order to install version 3.5?

2) Is there IGO for android users?

Have a nice weekend :) :D

[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
Anyone who has one, have you tried a BT keyboard out yet? I have a DHD which doesn't support one but was hoping the Sensation, with BT3, would.

Any information appreciated.

Dave
[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
Hmmm. I know there aren't too many Sensations in the wild yet but I thought that someone might have tried a BT keyboard by now.... Is there any way to know if the BT 'HID' profile is on the phone? I believe that's the profile needed for a keyboard.

Any comments on this driver ... https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mymobilegear ... ? Seems to have mixed reviews in the market.

Also, what's the general consensus on BT with the Sensation for headsets and music streaming to, say, a car head unit? Any problems seen as yet? I ask as none of the reviews I've seen mention BT except to say 'it's supported'.

Thanks

Dave
[HTC Sensation] narse:
Can't comment on Bluetooth keyboards, but i have used it in my car paired with my Sony car stereo and it works fine. Think that is using the Bluetooth headphone profile.
[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
Thanks for that. Been doing some more digging to try to find out about keyboards. Seems my current phone "should" support a keyboard like the Freedom Pro which supports the SPP profile (also used for keyboards, as is the HID profile). See ... http://www.apt8h.com/Computer/Elect...st-foldable-bluetooth-keyboards-reviewed.html ... for a review and more details.

Then I had one of those doh!!! moments and checked HTCs website for the Sensation at ... http://www.htc.com/www/product/sensation/specification.html ... and down under Bluetooth we find ...

"... Bluetooth® 3.0

A2DP for wireless stereo headsets

FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfer

PBAP for phonebook access from the car kit

Other supported profiles: AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HID, HSP, MAP, SPP, SDAP ..."

Seems I answered my own question :o However, the proof of the pudding and all that .... it'd still be interesting to find someone who'd had one working ...

Ta

Dave
[HTC Sensation] ntellegence:
My apple keyboard connected to my sgs which came bt 3.0 stock. I'll try when it drops next week here in the states.
[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
That'd be great. Just to clarify though, I don't think it's the BT 3 that's the issue as prior BT levels had the HID profile with other phones. I think BT 3 itself is more about power savings. Why HTC decided to add the HID profile to this release, arther than earlier, is anyones guess. Be interesting to know that as well though .....

Dave
[HTC Sensation] Nickedynick:
Any news guys? Got an MHL adapter the other day and want to use my phone almost as a light PC on my living room TV.
[HTC Sensation] gladms:
sorry that im late to the game guys but have tested an logitech mx5500 bt keyboard with my sensation and it works absolutely like a dream using bluezime or similar :) as this didn't work with the desire at all i hope that this answers every ones question about will a bt keyb work :P
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Didn't see this thread as well.

I'm getting the i-Tech virtual bt kb that I used back in the day under the symbian platform on Sony Ericsson's but found that I can get the driver under mymobilegear.com to use the virtual kb again. I am stoked at this and report back if it works or not lol...
[HTC Sensation] gladms:
You should try the bluezime from the market, It's completely free and comes with a data dump(perfect for 90% of devices :)
[HTC Sensation] gladms:
mhl+keyb is amazing :) just wish i could get the zeemote js1 to work, constantly asks me to enter a passcode into the zeemote itself, which ofcourse only has 4 buttons no numerical input :\ silly htc with their bt stack problems, hey at least keyboards work now XD
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Thanks I'll try it when I get the kb and report back.:D
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
So, final verdict? Which keyboard should one get if they want a mini keyboard that can fit in ones pockets?

Someone recommended me the Bluetooth mini keyboard. I want something small without paying the premium price of the Dinovo Mini
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
My Rii mini bluetooth keyboard works flawlessly with my Sensation. You don't need to install anything just search for devices and connect :)
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
bluezimie didn't work. Using keypro and so far so good.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
i-Tech VKB and keypro

Update:

Been using the i-tech vkb for a day and so far ok for what it is. This virtual keyboard is what I remember it is to be since I used it with my old MW600 by Sony Ericsson running Symbian OS.

The app works great with this kb. Of course there will be miskeys due to the spacing of the kb and where your finger is pressed, but I get that anyway using the onscreen kb lol....

Anyway here are some pics I snapped. I know it's pretty bright in here. It's 105 here today! There's bound to be "SOME" sun lol :D

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bujcri:
Hi,

Does anybody know an easy way to set a ringtone repeat?

I have this "Digital Phone" ringtone, which is short and it rings only once when incoming call. Is there an option to repeat it (it is a basic setting on all Nokia phones to repeat a ringtone, I don't get why Android made it so difficult)?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
This may seem redundant, and I haven't had a look at anything. But it might be worth just opening up an audio editor and copying and pasting a couple of times.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bujcri:
Editing the ringtone is obviously a solution, but I wouldn't like to do the same every time I want to change the ringtone, so I was thinking about a ROM based solution, or maybe even an app that does it...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
Hello there.. not sure if this is going to work but i found a value in the build.prop

ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple=false

maybe changing that to true can help :)

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hebbe:
i'm interested in swype for the glaxy tab too.

but as far as i know currently swype does not support the resolution of our tab, so there's no version out yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] danikristijan:
I've seen a statement somewhere in the web, that it sould be possible... but for the 10.1 without "v". But i'm currently not able to find it any more...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] enisoc:
I don't know if there's a workaround out there, but trying to install it the normal way (downloading the installer from the beta website) doesn't work on the I/O Tab. The installer says the screen size is not supported.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/20/android-honeycomb-has-hidden-gingerbread-interface-enabled-by-h/

I downloaded the app https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.lcddensity&feature=search_result

I then set it to 220 and I got the Gingerbread Lockscreen and the launcher =D

(Make sure to kill any custom launchers or widget locker)

Edit:

The only thing that sucks is that we don't have any permanent buttons to call the menu/settings
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Yeah, I thought this was awesome when I read that story, but then thought about the hard keys. There must be some hack somewhere for that...

[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Oh, nice! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Oskiee:
I know its cool and all... but why would you want to revert to the phone ui???
[Acer Iconia A500] Shigster:
Well there are people who liked the original launcher...so some people will want Gingerbread instead of Honeycomb...

Also one of the things I liked the most was decreasing the dpi and making honeycomb icons smaller and the browser could do full screens without scrolling to the left or right
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Well, considering 95% of the complaints on this forum are because of Honeycomb, it makes sense, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] Alejandrissimo:

[Acer Iconia A500] seven2099:
wow.. why would you buy a honeycomb tablet to use gingerbread. Its not like gingerbread is any better for tablets..
[Acer Iconia A500] Alejandrissimo:
obviously it's not GB, it just a old look launcher, I think this is like an easter egg instead an utility
[Acer Iconia A500] deedub334:

[Acer Iconia A500] urdaddi:
Yeah, but it is just changing the UI not the actual underlying system. So it is still Honeycomb there.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
True to an extent. Anyone test the flaws, such as the problems with force closes and market problems?

All the same bugs will still exist........ its still running on the homeycomb framework, and kernel. This is just a cool little easter egg, something you do just cause you can :)
[Galaxy S II General] thenoble06:
Hello,

I can't believe this has not been mentioned already - but I've done a search and I can't see anything regarding this subject.

I'm just curious as to the battery chart in regards the Display. It is always really high. As a test - I charged my phone to 100% and then over night left my phone alone, with the screen off to see what the stats were. When i awoke the battery chart had the display eating up 54% (even though the screen had been off all night).

Is that normal? Can the Battery useage chart be trusted?

I'm running a rooted device - with XE2.

Am I missing something here :)
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
My chart has been 100 precise for me. Post a screen shot if you can.

Also make sure you are not running NoLED.
[Galaxy S II General] thenoble06:
Yep, ill sort a screen shot out.

And what is NoLED?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
So you are NOT running it :)

It is a utility that uses your screen to display notifications, because there is no LED indicator on the phone that flashes for missed calls, voicemails, messages, etc.

NoLED displayes those little dots on the black screen itself.

Theoretically it makes the screen to be always on, and wastes extra power. But again there is a huge market for that great app (developed by an XDA member here).
[Galaxy S II General] thenoble06:
Ok - here is a screen shot. Anyone else getting results like this even when the screen is off??
[Galaxy S II General] Bajaj_86:
I got the same battery issue like you when i was on KE1.
[Galaxy S II General] adnan.makarevic:
i have the same problem, my sgs2 is so bad whit the battery life, i cant use the phone a normally working day from 07:00 until 17:00.. and allways i see the screen in the battery chart all the time whit more then 50% battery usage.

if this problem still exist, i will sold my device, thats not for a daily use..
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Same answer as always .

Your display has been the part of the phone that has used most of the power used .

NOT your display is using 70% of the battery .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] adnan.makarevic:
but did you read the first post from the theard owner? over the night, the display stay the whole night off, and use more then 50% battery.. thats not normal sorry.. a device which runs between 4 and 6 houers its a device for fun and play, but not more..

when im driving to the work i need 1 hour and 20min.. in this time, the screen is maybe 10min on while im listening music, and in this 1 hour and 20min my battery drain is 22%..

unbelivable... :(

from 07:00h in the morning until 12:00h 5 hours later, my battery is on 50%. i had htc desire hd before, and this device had a 1300mah battery and it was better than samsung whit 1600mah..

im really dissapointed..
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
The display = the majority use of the battery fact .

OP thinks display showed using 54% of the battery overnight .

It showed as a percentage of the total power consumed that the display consumed 54% so if the battery dropped 10% of its capacity overnight then 54% of that was from turning the screen on .

I repeat the battery usage shows what has been using the battery as a percentage of the amount used it does not show the battery drain ,Or even amount of battery used in that time frame

||||||||||Drained 50% of battery today display 20% .

Drained 30 of battery yesterday display 70% ..

WHY HOW AND other stuff regarding battery usage on SGS 1 forum .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Locster126:
after the night was the battery down 54%, e.g. have you lost %46 battery over night? Or was battery down to lets say 90% but display accounted 54% of that 10% loss???
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Battery 100% to 99% that is 1% used thats clean with no battery stats .

Battery stats usage shows Display 74% .

Or the display has used 74% of the 1% used .

Its a really simple reading of the usage of the battery by the varying components its not a measure of the battery .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Locster126:
thats what alot of people dont understand it seems........
[Galaxy S II General] adnan.makarevic:
i think we didnt understand us..

i try it again.

we start whit 100% full battery.. you dont touch your phone over the night.. and when you stand up, you look on it and see, the battery(only a example) is on 50%.. from this 50% which battery loose, 50% goes to the display.. so, the real drain from the display is 25%, over night, and you didnt switch it on.. you think that's not too much?
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
yes its a problem. when i do that same test on another phone, display does not appear in the list. if i charge to full at night, unplug and go to bed. when i wake up 8 hours later, the top of my list says Cell Standby, WiFi, Android OS. Display does not appear.

once i use the phone for a few minutes, display jumps to the top very quickly.
