Solved on Unrooted!!!

Hi all,

If you're unrooted like me, try running samsung apps. It will more than likely ask you to update the samsung apps software, and some other apps. When all this is complete, leave the samsung apps app running and attempt to add the account again...

Note, when the activesync Domain: user name adds a / at the start of the field, you may need to delete this as it will be pointing at the wrong domain address..

Hope this helps!!

Hi all

Been watching this thread since about the third post as I had the issue. It was a Samsung issue and someone along the way noticed that the Samsung Apps site was down, which must have been related. I could not access that either.

I tried again just now and I can now access Samsung Apps and I just set up my Exchange after two days of not working.

Looks like the problem really is fixed now.

NOW FIXED???

I had this issue with my girlfreinds new Samsung Galaxy 2 work phone for the past couple of days. After reading most of this forum I felt that most of the solutions were not 'doable'.

The solution that best caught my attention was to fix the time. Although this did not work for me. It did get me thinking.

To fix I made the phones network choose GSM only mode rather than automatically selecting between GSM/WCDMA or whichever it was. Then once done I was able to switch back the network settings.

Unfortunately I do not have phone in front of me to give exact steps.

I am in Gold Coast Australia and the phone is on a Telstra Next G network.

Good luck everyone else who still is not fixed. Hope this works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Might be worthwhile for those having issues to post what firmware they have. I never had this issue on my stock firmware, XXKI3 firmware, or any of the plethora of ROMs I've tested. I've also run most of the time with my Samsung account frozen, or uninstalled altogether.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simainside:
For Australian (Optus users)

The fix for the problem as orginally posted as here for Oz users on Optus is to create a new APN. this link provides the settings.

OK can't do links (Noob)

Go to the Optus site search Galaxy S2 support help guides and setting up phone for email

Worked first try. And no issues so far

Hi,

It started with me when I moved away from cyanogen to stock. Tried many other roms but didn't work. Drove me crazy for two days

Then I went back to cynogen configured exchange then installed cristelo rom w/o wiping data and it s working so far.

Confused!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony_76:
It case anyone is still having this problem make sure the SSL settings are turned on otherwise exchange will reject the request.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asterixxx:
same problem but using wifi

Yes, but what if you have the same problem with wifi and not with mobile networks ?

I get the same message: ''Setup could not finish, Activation failed. Unable to connect to network. Try again with network provider's default APN'

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stBlueJay:
Could someone tell me what the difference is between a factory reset and a hard reset?

What are the current methods for initiating them? Also in what situations may they be useful?

Thanks for the help:-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Hard reset wipes everything including the contents of your internal SDCard, you punch this into the dialpad to initiate it: *2767*3855#

Whatever firmware you last flashed to will be the firmware you get back but everything will be wiped!

Factory reset can be done either in settings or via recovery menu. It wipes all user data and firmware settings but leaved the contents of your internal SDCard intact.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stBlueJay:
What is the significance of wiping the internal sd card?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Everything on it is deleted? :confused:

Which one, of the two, is best to follow after updating rom? ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raidenms:
for example, if, for some reason, your internal sdcard memory got corrupted, this hard reset does the formating thing and restores the partition

I had this issue with my Omnia recently and only the Hard Reset solved the problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
I wipe my SD card when flashing new roms, it gets rid of all the old folders that apps have left over etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarperoz:
I just did this and when I rebooted everything was still there ????

Any ideas??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well I think if you pull out your SD card then putting that code for Hard Reset or Factory Reset in settings, both are same.

Hey,

I've got a problem with my Milestone, wich I upgraded to 2.2 Froyo and rooted. When I try to flash Roms in recovery mode. It says can't open /chache/recovery/command. I found a topic were a guy speaks of a problem with the RUU Rom. I don't know wich ruu rom i've got and where to find the one that works, I know that I need to be carefull with this due to the new security that disables rooting and that other thing...

Could someone please help this noob ;P

Greetings
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
If you are referring to the A853 milestone, you have to flash vulnerable recovery to enable you to run openrecovery, which is used to flash custom roms.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DeMich:
And how do I do this?

I've tried RSD Lite with the sbf: vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf. Wich I got from Addictivetips in the post "how to root motorola milestone"

I didn't follow the procedure on the site for this problem. I just connected my Milestone A853 with laptop, through "Portal & Tools", selected the .sbf in RSD Lite ant started it up.

When it was done, turned my phone on again and used the button "x" and Powerbutton to open Recovery Mode. It still gave the error: Can't open /chache/recovery/command

Thanks for your help, I hope you've got a fix for this ;)

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
You don't want to have the phone powered on at all. Only in Bootloader mode when you want to flash via RSD Lite. Here's the best tutorial you can get: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983516
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
If you successfully flashed the vulnerable sbf, you still have to have open recovery prepared on the SD card.

Then at the "Can't open /cache/recovery/command" screen, you would select update.zip

If you get an error (EOCD error? I forget...) after selecting update.zip, that means you don't have vulnerable recovery.

If update.zip works and open recovery loads up... get flashing

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarryMetal:
Try to get "shell root" with Superoneclick. Then try again.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Humpie:
Happens the same with me. I was adviced to flash the last fugumod (Which also speeds up your phone) but haven't had time to try.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarryMetal:
Because fugumod has allready rooted shell. You can use superoneclick to gain temporal shell root. After a restart will be lost.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcellusbe:
For the 1st, you are not root.

For the second, you should not put 2 commands in 1. Enter 1 command by 1.

adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system

or if you want to put 2 or more commands, add a ";" between each command :

adb shell "su; mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system"

but you will have to send CTRL+C as qtadb doesnt seem to like 2 commands in 1.

I have a question..

Anyone know why this machine boots SO fast!!?

Coming from Nexus S latest it was at least like a minute.. This is done in like 10 sec. Yes better CPU but I don't think it is THAT much to the CPU?

Guess RAM has a big part to blame to..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorbjorling:
The CPU makes a pretty big difference when booting, whether it's a mac, pc or a phone. But I'm sure it's something else making it boot quickly too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ke3pup:
Hi guys,

I find the Editing text bounding arrows frustrating to use on Galaxy SII (press hold on text until those orange arrows are shown). Most of the times its impossible to precisely drag the handle very you want, further more you have to be very accurate on where on the arrows you put your finger otherwise it won't move, basically its a hit and miss situation most of the times.

On HTC, its incredibly easy, once the equivalent of arrows (circle type handles) are shown, dragging them is super fast and easy and you have magnifying glass showing exactly where you'll land.

is there a way to replace the way Galaxy sII drag and drop editing action is done with that of HTC or is there a way to improve it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoOneCanHelpMe:
+1 for this
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mystichobo:
Howdy folks,

Just had a bit of an adventure with my milestone replacing the screen, unfortunately, I dropped it when putting it back together and accidently snapped the ribbon cable connecting the speaker and microphone to the mainboard/chassis.

Anyway, I just bought a faulty CDMA droid on ebay (won't power on), because I know the chassis itself (where the broken bit is), is the same.

I was thinking though, if it's just the mainboard on the droid that's fried, how would I go just replacing it with the one from my milestone? are there actually any hardware differences between the two apart from the modem/antenna being different?

Any responses would be appreciated,

Hobo

Should be the same I think...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4chin:
Hi all,

I'm currently running JPP! with the hardcore speedmod i1r2 kernel (yes very old ROM), installed via Odin.

I think it's now time to upgrade, and JUWE's upgrade is probably most attractive to me due to it's stability and good battery life.

Is there a simple true step by step of what I need to do to install this to the latest ROM and kernel? The site is so big now, it's difficult to navigate to the relative posts. I'm PC competent, but am struggling to follow all the steps and need some guidance (and really don't want to brick my phone!!).

If not for JUWE, is there a different ROM/kernel (with similar performance as JUWE) with a simpler installer making it easier for me to get up and running with minimum risk?

Many thanks in advance.

Sach
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
JVH ROM- Flash via Odin

Kernel- Flash Kernel via Odin; Download the listed kernel for JVH (CF 3.2 XEE I think)

Juwe- Flash via CWM(recovery); Download and put on internal SD.

Hi,

Firstly I have been reading loads about rooting and upgrading to Gingerbread, and I feel I am in a position and feel confident enough to go ahead and go it.

I have also read about different methods, and I feel the following is the easiest and less risky one...

Could somebody confirm this is the right thing to do and I am not forgetting anything? That'd be great!

1. Create a goldcard that is basically a backup of my phone and everything.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/

2. Follow the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

One-click radio S-OFF tool.

3. After following those instructions, can then go ahead and find a Gingerbread ROM to flash to the phone. For example, this here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=984045

That's it. Or is it? I have the feeling I am missing something! Anybody put my mind at ease or offer any tips?

Thanks a million!

hi there,

we all know the game paper toss.

when you start the program you hear some noise on the background, and a door open and close.

when i slide the slider down to unlock the screen, my htc desire hd makes this sound.

(it IS the actual sound of paper toss, because i compared them).

i've removed the sd card - no difference

i've removed paper toss - no difference

i've reinstalled paper toss - no difference

i've chosen a different skin - no difference

i've checked the sound options - no difference

i've turned the unlock/lock sound on and off - no difference

the only thing i haven't done is a factory reset.

and i really don't wanna do this, because i'll lose so many settings and options.

does anybody know what this is?

why is my phone making that stupid sound from paper toss?

Did you install gingerbread with sense 2.1? The sound you may be hearing is the weather app sound. If unsure go to the weather app and try the demo and see if you get the same sound.

Hello my friends,

I use the famous " GPRS_BYE_IF_DEVICE_OFF" reg tweak on my HTC HD2 with the 60secondes timeout.

Sometimes, it function, sometimes it don't function !

I have read that this tweak don't function with the Sense apps = ---> ok for that.

But, my problem is that sometimes, after my Exchange synchronisation, the GPRS/EDGE didn't disconnect....

Why ?

I know thaht there is some apps in order to do that, but i would like to understand why GPRS_BYE_IF_DEVICE_OFF don't function sometimes.

* Anyone have some ideas about this ?

* Anyone know the name of the DLL that use the GPRS_BY_IF_DEVICE_OFF tweak ? Maybe I could to try some informations with IDA PRO....

If anyone have some informations, they will be welcome :)

Thanks a lot :)

Hi,

I use Greyblur and I am anoyed by the fact that I get different times a notification for some unwanted ads (not sure if this is Greyblur or any other app).

There is a star in the Status Bar and if you press on the information the browser opens with some unwanted recommendations (I call it SPAM).

So can anybody help to fix this.

Is this a regular Android function (e.g. a interface which every app can use)?

Where I should look to disable this function?

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
It's not greyblur you must of installed a bad app. Review where you got your apps and be more careful.

But is there a way to track this application down?

there is an app called Share My Apps that will create a list for you of all the apps you have installed. much easier to post than to list them all manually
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jochenthomas:
Hey...,

Many thanks for this input - which is exactly what I wanted.

So you believe it could be one of this apps: Kongregade, App brain or Pulse.

Yes, I use Pulse and App Brain.

After thinking over about the best way, I had an thought...

Would it be possible to freeze selected apps with TITANIUM, to see if the SPAM disappears?

Or would'nt this be a realistic way to check if one of the mentioned apps are causing this behaviour...

Really, to uninstall makes me crazy as you can see the list is long (needs at least 1/2-1 hour to reinstall - without a real guarantee not to reinstall the "bad boy" again...).

And

many thanks

in advance for going roughly through the app list.
