[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
HI I have downloaded the I5800XXJPM.zip firmware but it has only 3 files in it. Now i am confused how to flash it in Odin. I have flashed earlier using both the method like different files and one package but this file is different. I think i need to make a tar file before.

files that is under the zip file is: factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin and zImage.

Please suggest me the right way.
[Galaxy 3 General] rjpalmeida88:
probably you open the tar file, those three files are inside the tar.
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
hey for me there are 6 files. U may have downloaded the wrong one!!...

and its not a .zip its a .tar file after extracting
[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
not its a zip file which has a size of 125 Mb. Previously I flashed my odin with both ways (one package and also with 4 different files) but both of those files were different. Can u give me a link so that I download the right file. Make sure its XXJPM coz i will then flash to Indroid 4.1, currently i m in XXJPF.
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
Try this..

Hope it works
[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
Leave it guys, the file was incomplete. I have downloaded a new file and now flashed it successfully. The matter stands closed, thanks for taking interest.
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
I had given you a link to a new file :)

seems you overlooked!!

anyways good to see your problem is solved
[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
yes, I downloaded a new file before seeing ur link. anyways can u help me with themes and 1% battery mode?
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
1% battery mod is working only with fugumod 2.4 kernals!!

what you want to know about themes../??

Just go to themes section download any theme you like..

read all the instructions..

generally there are two to three files which you have to replace with old files in system/framework folder.

some have themed apks also.

you have to replace them with old apks in system/app

that should be helpful!!

PS A thanks buttob do exist there if u dont know :P!!
[Galaxy 3 General] LarryMetal:
The missing files were logo.png and cache.rfs.

I think that missing logo.png is not big deal, but I don't know what cahe.rfs is supposed to do.
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
false reading means???

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justsignbythex:
I accidentally dropped my Nexus One when I was taking it out of my pocket.

Now, the touch screen or the charging port does not work

The screen turns on fine, and the trackball and power button work fine, but the screen isn't responsive at all.

In addition, the screen says that I have 0% battery left, even though I know I have well over 80% left.

I've tried to plug in a USB charger and it wouldn't recognize it at all. When I put it on the dock, however, it recognizes it, but still, there is no charging indicator.

Is the phone done for?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
With all those faults, maybe, but there might be hope. The digitizer connection and charging port internals are all based at the bottom of your phone and seeing that the power button still works then the bottom board is probably damaged. Try eBay for the parts. However if something has been physically damaged on the charging port then you'll have to make sure to change it too.

Perhaps You Can Help with T-M 3G?

Hello. I have a GSII from UK, on T-Mobile. Tried to work with a guy at T-Mobile to figure out how to get 3G (only Edge now). My unit is rooted. I would love (and would pay!) to get 3G working on my phone. Can you help out?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disfected:
If your on T-Mobile US, you can never get anything but EDGE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertCBoston:
Thanks for quick reply...

...not to be a pest, but does the phone I got (UK GSII) just totally lack the hardware capability to do 3G, or is it a software/firmware issue that may some day have a solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disfected:
The UK GS2 lacks the current bands to run on T-mobile US network, since they use different bands compared to T-Mobile UK. If you want 3g/4g, you have to wait for T-mobile to release their variant in the states or otherwise change to AT&T.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmstrollo:
Hey BostonBob... you might what to take a look at this thread. It explains the situation in a little more detail: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16356271

Short answer... it appears one-half (the upload half) of the TMobile USA 3G signal is at the wrong frequency (meaning this phone won't support it.)

I looked around to see if there's a software hack to reprogram the frequency or a hardware thing. Best I can tell...

1) The SGS2 supports a VERY wide range of frequencies. The i9100 service manual shows it clearly supports service in the 1700 MHz range... but not specifically AWS (Advanced Wireless Service) that TMobile USA uses.

2) The service manual actually shows you how to go in and 'fine tune' the frequencies if you have superhuman soldering skills.

3) Bad news, even if you hit the right frequency, I'd assume the antenna firmware would have to be changed (well outside of my area of expertise.)

I keep hoping that someone with some knowledge of programming one of these antennas will chime it, but no luck yet.

Now that TMobile USA is releasing their bastardized version of the SGS2, maybe we'll get lucky and the telephony portion of the hardware will be interchangeable (though I highly doubt it.)

If it's any consolation, I'm in the same boat.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiga:
Hi guys

I'm an iphone 3gs owner at the mo but my contract is up in a week and after doing A LOT of research over the past 3 weeks, i was pretty much decided that the GS2 was gonna be my next phone.

Then i foolishly visited the xda forums! lol (in fairness, it probably still will be my next phone).

But seriously though, setting aside the various issues some people are clearly having (reboots, battery drain, etc) what shocked me the most was hearing about the low-powered charging mechanism (apologies if i've gotten this slightly wrong).

I've heard that it only charges at ~650mah, but that the phone can easily surpass this under load (~850mah?), meaning that you could be charging the phone at the same time as using it, only to find the battery going DOWN. Can someone confirm if this is true? If it is, then i'm gobsmacked that Samsung could make such a c0ck-up. Imagine if you're using the GPS (a real battery hog) while driving (and plugged-in to the ciggy lighter) only to find that the battery dies before you get to your destination! lol. I've heard about the heat this puppy produces, i wonder did they limit the juice to stop it from burning a hole through the floor ;)

Even though i'm bored to t1ts with my iphone (and i hate apple), what i love about it is that when i don't actually use the phone for extended periods of the day (which is quite often, due to work) it still retains it's charge really well (i get insanely good battery life). I would be really annoyed if i found the GS2 battery dropping any more than, say, 30% over the course of a busy working day (say 9am to 7pm) with virtually no use.

So, to finally get to my point! My iphone charges REALLY fast. I'm worried that it will take a stupidly long time to fully charge the GS2. Can some kind person please do an experiment for me, and see how long it takes theirs to fully charge (from fully dead to 100%) with the screen off and the phone not doing anything major in the background?

Also, it would be good to know how this compares to the GS2's competitors.

Sorry for the long post guys!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinstagator:
I think mine takes around 3 hours from empty using samsungs supplied charger but I will try to do a test for a more accurate time. How does this compare to the iphone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
Yep mine takes about 3 hours as well from empty to about 90% using the wall charger, then it goes on trickle charge the rest of the way. This is on standby as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj NJoy:
Yepp takpes about 3 hours to get fully charged. however, i've been using the phone as a wifi hotspot all the time and yes, it increases charging time but it doesn't really matter when it takes so long anyways

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valdigre:
It takes almost 3.5-4 hours to charge it with stock charger from empty to full.

It takes a bit more than 5 hours to charge from empty full using USB charging in my laptop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troed:
Found out the hard way:

Charging with original EU charger AND heavy use (downloading, Wifi tethering, map ops etc.) MADE it drain faster than charging.

Two nights before left it during night with orig. charger and made it in 8 hrs only to 84% while on.

With Hama 0,8 amps charger full in 2hrs from empty and stays full even with heavy work.

NO heat issue though !

Methinks the charger is crap

Any idea what the max amps the phone can take? I've been looking around, seen chargers up to 2 amps, but don't want to ruin the phone...

Edit: Sorry, posted too soon. Just saw this thread, and the battery has is rated at 1000mA, so ya, don't use a 2 amp charger ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
if you look thru the battery driver source code, samsung capped the charging at 650 mA it seems. not sure why, other android phones use the full 1 amp.

so samsung either saw a heat problem and lowered it, or that's just the way they do their phones charging. who knows.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murfle:
Wow, ok. As someone who uses 3G a lot when our internet connection goes down (all too often), I hope the charge will end up keeping up with the battery drain. Otherwise I'll be tempted to change that source and probably end up frying my phone (if it ever gets in stock :|)

Hey all.

I just upgraded my SD card from the 8gb in the phone to a 16gb... I copied all of my files across and everything seemed to working fine... til I got a phone call. I couldn't hear anything, and the person calling me couldn't hear me. I tried to call them back, and apparently their phone rang, but I couldn't hear the dial tone.

Is there something about the SD card swap which could have caused this?

If it makes any difference, I was running MIUI on my phone and it worked perfectly up until my first call after the swap...

So I have seen a couple users asking about creating a new thread for battery life on CM7 only, so here it is. I am getting ok battery life, but nothing near where it should be.

Here is where you can suggest, try, try again, and submit findings pertaining to the battery life. So let's get this started!!
[Vibrant General] iBustCh3rries:
I've found that turning off the radio saves battery life so I def. think that the radio is the problem for it
[Vibrant General] Jackdog89:
Thanks for starting this. It should be interesting to see where this thread goes.....
[Vibrant General] jzero88:
You mean flight mode? I don't think that is a viable solution, well at least if you need to use the phone. I can't even get xda super power installed for some reason
[Vibrant General] byt3b0mb:
try some of the different cm7 modems that are around, i found that on the 2.2 roms the kb5 modem was very efficient... it helps a bit with cm nightly got about 16 hours moderate use.
[Vibrant General] jzero88:
Right now I am on the 5-15 initial, I couldn't find the newest nightly
[Vibrant General] bigtom624:
I turn data off when not in use and it definitely saves battery for me.
[Vibrant General] Jackdog89:
I get better battery life with KB5 too.

I can confirm that data use is probably part of the issue. I live in the sticks, there is no 3G at my house. My battery life is actually descent, no where near what I had with Froyo, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as bad as other people are claiming.

Personally, I've just read from some ROM thread here, that you need to calibrate your battery if you flash custom ROMS. So far, it has worked out quite nicely.

[Vibrant General] hitman818:
Charge to 100%, go into recovery and wipe battery stats.
[Vibrant General] Kenichi:
Yes, also doing that. I recommend to go to the Android Market and search for Battery Calibration by NeMa. It's a great, free application as well to make sure that your battery is calibrated on top of the instruction from the quote.

[Vibrant General] jzero88:
Ya battery calibration app works quite well, that is something I haven't done yet with this ROM 0_o
[Vibrant General] phantomzer0:
I was having terrible, absolutely terrible battery life with CM7 and I decided to do some investigating. On my initial installation I used Titanium backup and Google Backup to restore settings and applications. I could not manage 4-6 hours on a single charge, with calibration.

I decided to do a fresh CM7 install to test things out. I simply booted into recovery and wiped data, cache, and system. I reinstalled the initial package provided on the CM forums and let CM7 boot. After letting the new installation settle down for 10 minutes, I rebooted into recovery, flashed gapps, and then the newest nightly. Again, I let it boot and sit for 10 minutes before performing anything. After settling down, I charged up to 100%, rebooted into recovery again, and wiped battery stats.

I should note that through this I declined google's offer to use backup services and declines google's offer to restore any old backups. I also decided to not restore any apps through titanium backup.

With my screen brightness set to 100%, wifi enabled, bluetooth enabled, and using the phone at amoderate to heavy amount, I have gone 12 hours and am at 5%. I am certain that after the battery stats can calibrate fully and run through a few more charges I will easily hit 15 hours on moderate to heavy usage.
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
I think they are, atinm said he updated it, but it makes the wifi disconnect from time to time like the earlier cm7 builds.
[Vibrant General] byt3b0mb:
if you have rom manager pro the nightlies are available for download.
[Vibrant General] kanwal236:
here's a few tips for you guys:

1. turn off 3G, stick to GSM only. Found in settings > wifi and network > mobile network> gsm only

2. use some black themes, anything than the normal grey and stuff should help

3. If you have data, use that instead of wifi, from what I see wifi eats more battery

4. if you're using wifi, go into wifi settings > *menu button* > advanced wifi settings > wifi sleep policy to: when screen turns off or never when plugged in.

hope that helps :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpicyBurrito:
Does anyone have the mod that removes the clock from the status bar but shows the time whenever you hold your finger on the status bar? Like what bonsai does. I wanted to put it for the syndicate rom I just flashed. Lost and tired has the mod, but it completely removes the clock from the status bar. I swore I had it before, but I can't find it for the life of me now.

If anyone can help, I'd love you forever.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dr0maz:
I think that's cause really the mod is two changes. To remove the clock you need to flash a modded services.jar file. In order to see the clock in the status bar requires you to flash a modded framework-res.apk. Specifically, i believe the file /res/layout/status_bar.xml has been modified to add the clock there. So if you were able to remove the clock that's good for step1. Now, you could try either flashing a bonsai framework-res.apk that has the change or taking that change and moving it into your framework and reflashing. Hope that makes sense. Im assumming you meant for EB13. The process might be a little different for EE03 not sure though.
