[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makol999:
Dear All,

I am having an issues with the front facing camera on my SGS. Seems to be some problem in the kernel. My current kernel is 2.6.35.7#Voodoo and front facing camera is disorted and cutted into 4 or 5 smaller parts.

Please advice, thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Have you tried a different kernel to support your theory ?

I seen this reported in all kernel threads. So its either not a custom kernel issue (even in CF I seen this reported) or its a rom(maybe app?) issue
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makol999:
Strange

I do not have this issue with the stock JVH kernel (unrooted phone). So I assume this must be caused by custom kernel...

It doesn't. Notice on the picture says compatible with, lists tmbile att and simplemobile and underneath it, it has a big 3G with at&t next to it. that means it only works on at&t(and those companies that use the same bands as at&t) for 3g.

or, ""I got my SGSII. What next?".

basically, a thread for people who just unboxed their SGSII and want to make sure its working to perfection (no yellow bars, lines, weak battery, GPS locking, wifi issues, camera problems and whatever else there is). the reason for this is i'm highly considering purchasing a SGSII shortly (currently own a Captivate which is my first Android device) and would like a small database of links that could help myself or anyone else who is in my shoes.

i also thought that this thread can help people with what to do next with their SGSIIs. rooting, tweaks, settings and whatnot.

[Defy General] spica123:
install the 2ndinit apk 1.4.2 newer ones wont work with some files

then reboot 2 times.

third reboot: press volume down, when the led is blue.

now choose recovery by pressin vol up or down and power to accept.

then choose costum recovery, and apply zip from sd. choose your file and confirm.

done

hope this answers your question
[Defy General] goateye:
Thanks, seems simple enough :)

uh, where do I find 2ndinit.apk
[Defy General] nepotu:
You can find it here.
[Defy General] cmvcarlos88:
I know how to install .zip but I have a question. CWM3.1 does not flash some .zip like a baseband or a theme. It says "aborted". I think that the problem is that the file is not signed or something. In CWM2.5.1.8 works but the problem is that CM7 or MIUI changes it to CWM3. So, what should I do?
[Defy General] goateye:
Thanks!

Works fine, even the mentioned zip-file!
[Defy General] nepotu:
The "issue" is that the latest CWM3.x no longer support "amend scripting" (stored in update-script) and won't apply zip's created with such scripts. Therefore all .zip which where written using the old method should be converted to edify scripting (which use different statements - more details here-).
[Defy General] Jefgenowitsch:
is there an way to downgrade the 2ndinit? an how-to would be very nice:)
[Defy General] nepotu:
You can replace the recovery file from /system/bootmenu/recovery/sbin with the one from 2nd init 1.4.2 . The file persimmon should be rwxr-xr-x (755).
[Defy General] Jefgenowitsch:
and how do i do that? with rootexplorer? what for do i need the file permission? to change it or to set it after changing the files?
[Defy General] nepotu:
Yup. You can replace it using an app like root explorer. And the file permission should be set up after you copy the file (if you have the wrong file permission it won't work).

EDIT: I haven't tried yet to downgrade it this way but that's what I've read on the forum, therefore I cannot guarantee you it will work.
[Defy General] Jefgenowitsch:
sry for me being a noob. i found the file named recovery in the folder you mentioned. but have got only the file 2ndinit.apk..... where do i get the recovery file from 2ndinit.apk ?

thank you for your time!
[Defy General] nepotu:
You can unpack it using a tool like Apk Manager 4.9 or simply by using 7zip to extract the files from the apk which is in fact some sort of archive. However as I've mentioned in the previous post I didn't tried to downgrade using this method. All I can say is that I've read here on xda about this method, therefore I cannot guarantee you this will work. I think is better to wait someone with more experience to answer.
[Defy General] Jefgenowitsch:
As an unexperienced user i think i'll wait for a better solution.

As i read, this problem appears quite often, how come that nobody tried to make a solution for this problem?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LOL!!:
I know it is still early in the dinc2 development stages but things are not looking promising. My 14 day Verizon return is creeping up on me.

Should I stick with the dinc2 or trade it in for something else?

The main contender at the moment is the droid x2. From what I have read so far the boot loader is locked. (See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089067). The dual cores, qHD screen and large amount of support for the previous generation are all solid selling points for me.

I have also considered the thunderbolt but have decided against it. There's no LTE in my area yet, the battery life is abysmal, and it is a massive phone.

I am open to other suggestions I have not mentioned as well.

TL;DR: Swap my dinc2 for a droid x2 (or other non-thunderbolt verizon phone)?

I have a dx2 and im thinking of trading it for something else, not sure what i want tho

No way would i get an x, x2, or any other moto. D2 was my last mistake.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Despite being dual-core with qHD it's running a weird resolution

Motoblur is so eh to me, everytime I try it in the store it's really slow

The design of the phone is just ugly to me with the really square look and physical buttons
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitroglycerine33:
I just received a Droid X2 today and I must say it is the clunkiest phone I have ever used. I cannot believe how much it locks up and how choppy everything is. My Fascinate blows it away.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dreamcaster012:
I wish we had a better root scene over here. The only reason I'm still considering a thunderbolt is because of this. Where is the incredible s in terms of perm root?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloiselle:
dinc 2 is a great phone, however I've also been thinking about trading to the x2 just for the tegra 2 processor and future gingerbread update. that will be a wonderful phone to work with in the future. i'd love to trade someone my dinc 2 for an x2 but i doubt i'll get that lucky..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
Why don't you think dinc2 will get Gingerbread? Ill bet it does.

Yup...Tapatalk'd
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloiselle:
I implied the combination of Tegra 2 AND Gingerbread, not just the Snapdragon and gingerbread combo of the INC2. T2 / 2.3 will be pretty rad. :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LOL!!:
In light of this release by HTC: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098489 I have decided to stick with the incredible 2.

It is difficult to see into the future where dual core phones will actually be utilized to their full potential. I just don't see that happening for a while.

The battery life and aesthetics are too appealing to make the switch.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SuperDeform:
Its really that difficult when no one knows how android will take out of there bag
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 4GivenByChrist:
Nitro a lot of what makes the Fascinate so good is what devs like you corrected in major flaws from Samsung and Verizon.

Can't wait to see permanent root on the DInc2, to see what the dev community can do with this powerhouse.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nachobass25:
for a solid week, I was debating between buying a DInc2 or waiting for the Droid X2 to come out. The day the X2 released, I was at my local retailer waiting to buy one and turned out to be the first in my state to purchase one. I set it up, activated it, took it home and played with it for a good 2 hours... then i brought it back to the store and returned it for a DInc2. reason? HTC Sense vs Moto Blur. Blur is horrible in my opinion. its clunky, utilitarian, lacks the visual aesthetics, ease of use, and functionality of HTC sense. syncing facebook contacts was a nightmare on Blur. Sense practically synced for me with barely any user input.

The fit and finish of the Incredible 2 is miles ahead of the bulky clunky case of the X2, and despite the bigger screen, the Inc2's display does not disappoint in any way.

While the X2 has superior hardware, (dual core processor, bigger screen), I would compare it to running Windows XP Home on an Alienware computer. nothing but wasted potential.

I say, unequivocally, just wait until these developers find a way to perm root the Incredible 2, or until HTC does away with their locked bootloaders, and you'll have everything you want in a phone and more.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KingKuba13:
Return it and wait for the Bionic.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aero0311:
I just got my dx2 a few days ago and I'm happy. Of course blur sucks and slows the phone down to a crawl. I've been reading this is a huge problem but seems to be related to blur. I installed Launcher Pro and for some unknown reason, my phone speed/responsiveness has increased drastically. It no longer freezes or hangs. With that said, here are the pro's/cons in my opinion.

Pros: New screen is awesome, very fast after I installed launcher pro and if the DX2 gets half the attention the DX did, there will be some pretty awesome roms coming out pretty soon.

Cons: I've heard rumors the tegra 2 processor does not play well with 4G LTE and has some issues (but what phone doesn't have any issues. That's why I think they switched to the OMAP4)... No 4G LTE and of coarse the locked bootloader (but the DX got around that pretty good).

In my opinion, the speed, screen and potential for custom ROMS were the selling point.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
The low RAM on the X2 is the bottleneck from hell. After blur and the GPU, the RAM available to the phone for use is comparable to the D1. You literally can't multitask on it. I had an X2 and returned it for an Incredible (I wasn't eligible for a 3g phone because it was an early early upgrade).

Software matters a lot and people tend to forget this. Look how much more lightweight Android is than PC Windows. Sometimes a phone with less powerful specs is still faster because of the software. Blur is a resource hog.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
Isn't there a perm-root for the X2, you could just install a custom ROM that gives you stock Android.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
That's what I LOVE about my inc2, always above 200mb free if not 250-300.

Hi all,

I would just like to ask those who are lucky enough to have received the latest update if it has resolved two problems, the first been with the built in Weather app not updating except over wireless and the other problem is with the sound not been loud enough that can be fixed by making a call and ending it. The sound problem and fix is explained here

I never had your problems on 2.2 froyo.

Yes my sound wasnt that loud, but it was loud enough.

Anyway, with 2.3, the speakers are louder, but dont expect something AMAZINGLY LOUD, and still my weather app updates through 3G

Ok don't get me wrong for not reading previous threads. But I didn't find what I was looking for. I bought a magnetic latch leather case for my Galaxy Mini, and was afraid that the magnet would permanently damage the internal compass. Obviously it is disrupting the internal compass the compass' poles points randomly. The same I noticed when I placed my phone near my laptop. Magnetic latch cases affect internal compasses but my main question is:

"WOULD THERE BE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE PHONE'S INTERNAL COMPASS?".

I quickly removed my phone from the case as I'm afraid it might do irreversible damage to the phone's compass. So guys, what do you think?..
[General Accessories] cashu30:
I wandered with the same question some time back when I was still on the market for a good leather case with a magnetic clasp. And one sales guy answered my question with relative conviction so I think I had to go with what he said. He said that if the case comes from the makers of the gadget you are buying it for, you are in safe hands. But if you get some cheap knockoff thinking that you got one over the high priced cases they sell, then you could not be sure of what you are getting. Cases are made for specific models and there is a reason for that, it would not affect your mobile phone in anyway.

I picked someone who wants to develop on it and PM'd them. Thanks for the interest but it's gone, I'll post again if they fail to reply, otherwise 'that's all, folks...'

So, I never got this thing working well from CyanogenMod 5 onward. I've tried everything I could find, including reverting to stock, and now I have a 'UUID Mismatch error'. The phone isn't bricked, I can flash recoveries and ROMs all day long, they just aren't stable at all. It may have a hardware problem, or maybe I am missing something. I'm done fighting with it, maybe one of you will have better luck. I've lost root just now reverting it to stock, but you can just re-root it or use it for parts.

It's a US T-Mobile G1, white, in great condition. I've removed the Micro SD card, and my SIM, obviously.

I have a car charger, data cable, headphone adapter w/ headphones, and the original fabric case that came with it, plus the original battery & battery cover. I also have a clear plastic hard shell with a kickstand.

I'm in the UK now, so I can post it to anyone in the UK, and I'll just trust you to reimburse me for shipping once you get it. The phone isn't worth much anymore and postage isn't much, so no big deal.

PM me or reply here if you want it, and I'll pick someone at random.

Hi Guys,

I have a Vodafone branded GS2 that came with KE1 out of the box. I have flashed the phone to the stock KE7 rom but have run into a problem with wireless G.

When connecting to the access point it connects fine and gets a valid IP. I am able to ping the router and devices on the network can ping the phone but the phone is unable to view web pages or access the store etc.

On wireless N i get none of these problems. The G problem is occuring both at home and work.

Any Ideas?

REPOST:

Monday 17-May-2011 8:03 AM Free on day one via Amazon Appstore deal

Two bits of good news for Android phone owners today. First up, PopCap will finally release its iPhone super hit (and all-round excellent game) Plants Vs. Zombies on Android devices this month.

And secondly, it'll be completely FREE on its day of release. Not bad, eh? Here's the snag - that day is yet to be set, so you'll have to keep a close eye out so as not to miss it later this month.

Plants Vs. Zombies will be joined by another PopCap puzzler, Chuzzle, also free on its day of release, which will be May 31.

Both will thereafter cost $2.99, and both will be exclusive to Amazon's Appstore for the first two weeks after release.
