[Galaxy S II General] rojdag:
hi, i followed the guide in the dev section and debranded my phone from 3 u.k but when i plug into kies it still show 3 fw and says cannot update even though i changed the csc aswell. is there anyway to get kies to recognise it properly as i didnt really want to keep manually having to flash the lastest fw thats why i de-branded so kies would do it auto!

edit found the solution after 1 hr searching....... odin update only :(
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Spoof fw might help .

http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw

Kies updates branded firmware with the correct product codes that match whats on the server not stock rom thats what i have always posted long long time .

Though some claim to have updated stock via Kies but if that was the norm we would not have the multitude of same posts and kies reg spoofing would not have been developed likewise Spoof FW

About forty personal tries with stock rom on SGS1 and 2 for me have always failed . Put back original rom always worked .

I have the same problem but I have fix it now, I just boot in recovery mode and wipe alle partition data, wipe alle date and factory , after that boot up in download mode and reflash in odin... and dont forget to delete kies in pc and delete samsung folders and usb driver before reinstall kies :) this work for me and kies reconize my phone and FW version now.
[Galaxy S II General] simion_levi:
You did do a factory reset after changing to XEU csc didn't you?

I had no problems when I debranded my O2 handset a week ago - it's been recognised as a generic XEU handset ever since and I updated to KE7 via Kies.

Please help me after updating to ke7 and during using 3g net the device heating icredibly and bateery drain the same incredibly??? Please help me does anyone have the same problem of mine
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyaku_zuki:
In fact I've had the opposite - KE7 has seemingly reduced my battery consumption significantly. I flashed to it, did factory reset (to clean things up and finish the O2 debranding) and rerooted.

Titanium Backup has frozen all of the Samsung Hubs and WiFi Sharing + Manager and now my battery is epic. I'm not sure if its just the apps that I have frozen that have made the difference but you could always try reflashing, factory resetting or freezing apps yourself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafat90:
Ok thank you very much i did a factory reset and will see i hope every thing will be ok.and about titanium backup you mean to unistall samsung hub and so....(new android user) i used to fix issues on ios :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonesy:
Me too, since KE7 update, the battery life has improved dramaticaly. I'm on 87% after 7hours on battery, email sync to exchange, usage not that heavy; some texts, phone calls, news updates - blue tooth and wi-fi on.

On KE2 it would have been about 65% by now.

I can also see the phone is awake much less looking on the batter usage graph.

Do you often use the camera?

Yesterday I've shot a few fotos at school and didn't go out of the app, only pressed the power button to standby. After I got home, my SGSII felt very, very hot at the back- and frontside. Also the battery level went down in 3% steps every few minutes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafat90:
I think now every thing is ok today 6 hours of heavy using games and net browsing just drain about 45% from 100% :))))

Uninstall samsung hub and freez te wifi sharing with titanium backup it's realy helped me and other samsung apps that's eating the battery :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciddy:
SNS might be the culprit...

I've had excellent battery life with KE7, only one time it dropped 35% in 3 hrs of sitting idle, no user activity! And at that time, I had unfrozen the Social hub.... Off to the freezer it goes again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanteEx:
I'm still on the old KE2 release (since O2 hasn't released this Kies update yet) and my battery is down to 31% in 11 hours. I was a little worried earlier because while I was playing 'Fruit Ninja' my phone temperature went up to 48C and the phone screen became very hot.

Hopefully this will be fixed in later releases. Their is a battery consumption bug with 2.3.3 with dual-core phones, which Google is addressing as we speak.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhiroopb:
Could you please explain again what "freezing" an app exactly does and how to do it?

I'm on KE7, and the battery drains even if the phone is in Airplane mode. At night the battery drains by about 10-15% per hour which is just unacceptable because I cannot leave it off the charger otherwise it dies while I am asleep.

The device also gets incredibly hot after minimal usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrSlump76:
This phone suffers about a severe design issue wich causes:

* Extreme overheat

* Display damage due to overheat (search for yellowish tint)

* Bad audio amplifier wich causes bad audio in headphones

* Bad camera quality wich introduces pink spots (it's possible to corect via software alogotithms).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
This is of course not how it should be, it happened to me as well 1-2 times a week, you should directly restart the phone when this happens, in my case it usually took days before this happened. SGS2 shall be "cold" when not in use or light usage.

I haven't seen it with KF3 firmware (used it for 6 days)

DrSlump76: please stop trolling in every thread. I suggest you buy another phone, SGS2's are very easy to sell second hand, you will not loose much money. Of the 4 issues you mentioned above I've only seen one (over heating) that had a simple work-around and now seems solved in KF3. A couple of friends using SGS2 has not even seen that one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eezdva:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
I also had this problem (heating during texting in low signal areas, it's normal during gaming). I fixed it by flashing a new modem using the method in the link for the post above. However, he suggests flashing KH3, which is significantly outdated now. I'd try something a lot newer. Keep testing till you find a modem which works well for your carrier, country/area, and gives good data/calls. Having a good signal will see your phone stay cool in low signal areas while texting heavily.

[Touch HD General] sirskull:
Did anyone already manage to mount the internal memory while being in Android?

As most of use, I'm launching android from the SD Card. But since internal memory is faster, I was hoping that once my android OS was started, I could maybe mount the internal memory and launch some apps from there. Or mount the internal memory and claim it as swap space. :D

anyone? :confused:
[Touch HD General] xUmaRix:
internal memory as u mean NAND i assume? we haven't move from HaRET to complete NAND kernel yet.i guess when everything is stable then to upgrade the mainline kernel to .35 or .39 and after that will be worth to go full NAND
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
that was entirely not the OP's question. his question is not about installing an android rom into nand, but only mounting the internal storage space as a swap drive or to install apps in there for higher speed.
[Touch HD General] sirskull:
Indeed Chef_tony. While are all waiting for the real Nandroid, I was seeking a way already to speed up the performance. Untill now all overclocking failed on my device. It became complete unstable. So I'm seeking a way to use the most of the fastest parts of my blackstone. In my case, the nand (aka internal memory). Maybe a simple command like "mount -o loop blablabla" would open the internal memory for us. :cool:

IT can be done.

I am pretty sure that it can be done but no one has done it. If your phone is rooted, then you can port a VFAT or NTFS-3g kernel module to the android/Linux kernel. You might need to modify a poll interrupter to write correctly to a USB HDD or thumb drive. You would also need to find a way to provide power to the device. I don't believe handsets provide power over usb.

Do you mean the physical attributes of the glass, (i.e gorilla glass), the display, (i.e LCD/AMOLED), or the software, (i.e scrolling/swiping)?

If the latter, Android could definately benefit from hardware accelerated U.I but it's hard to implement because of the diverse hardware that Android has to run on. It's easy in that respect for Apple as it's one set of hardware and one OS.
[General Accessories] AsherChua:
You could say its about the physical attributes,for example,why is the iPhone 4 screen so smooth and we touch it? And other touch screen phones isn't as smooth? I'm talking about the hardware:)
