Games Pausing!

Hey guys.. last night when i was playing some games on the phone (asphalt6 (GS2 version), homerun battle, skies of glory, etc) they would just pause in the middle of play and the resume/new game/exit pop up would appear. I did not touch any button whatsoever to pause the game, not even accidently.. but the game wud pause and ask you to resume... no FC or anything.. simply pause.. as if you have actually paused the game... this has never happened in month since i have the phone and have been playing these games.. but just last night and even today :( weird...

has anyone experienced such a thing?? any work around?

Im on KI4 stock ROM. ive already started restarting the phone.. cleared RAM etc. but to no avail.

How do you change region to India? I can only see 'Global NTP server', and Italian, Spanish ones but no Indian is listed! I keep getting this screen,

TIA.
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Hi guys,

sorry for bothering again....

as i'm on the way to update 2.3.5 KI8 (currently I'm on 2.3.3 KF3)

Please answer....

1) Does 2.3.5 KI8 stock version wipes all data?

2) as far i know Titanium Backup works on only rooted phone. So, is there anyway to keep backup my all data (SMS, contacts, files & my precious game & save files) without rooting.

3) what will happen to my CSC (as I'm located in Bangladesh) after upgrading firmware to stock 2.3.5 KI8.

4) What is USB jig?
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
ICS coming to SGS II real soon!

Check this video of ICS running on SGS II : http://www.androidunite.com/2011/10/16/ice-cream-sandwich-running-on-galaxy-s2/

Don't know if it's for real though. Check my thread on ICS in Development section here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18554594#post18554594
[Galaxy S II General] sids911:
1. No

2. You will have to re-root the 2.3.5 KI8 just like you did it the last time for TiBU to work- take a look at CF-root.

3. The CSC will change to Nordic countries. after flashing, If your sms's and APN are working correctly you dont need your region's CSC.

4. USB jig is to remove the yellow exclamation image when you start the phone, and to reset the flash counter. More information about USB jig can be gotten from the internet.
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
1) Go to intratech's rom page. Not sure if there is a KI8 non wipe version but there is definitely a XXKI3 non wipe version there with android 2.3.5 which is very stable. You can choose that instead of KI8.

2) Why are you scared of rooting? Rooting will give you a much richer user experience with SGS II and you will be able to use many new apps because of it. Rooting is as simple as ABC if you follow instructions. Go to CF root page.

3) CSC will change as per the ROM you flash. But you can flash a particular region's CSC through ODIN by putting that file in the CSC field. A list of country specific CSCs is given on Intratech's page.

4) A USB Jig can change the counter (meant for counting how many times you flashed an unoffical rom) back to zero. So you don't have to worry about losing your warranty after flashing unofficial roms. Search for the page and you will find it here on XDA how to use it. USB jigs are easily available for less than 400 INR on ebay, and if you are enterprising then you can make it yourself for less than 20 INR yourself.

Hey ithehappy you facing the problem which i was facing this morning??I just opened the GPS Aids app and clicked on GPS status tab(Now,this thing is better than the stock Maps app or the GPS status app i had installed ). It found out the visible GPS satellites and did a fix in 20 secs max.

After this even a cold lock is under 15-20 secs. :) I think after flashing the XWKI8 FW,our GSII starts behaving as just out of a box GSII(lolzz :) ).

Its the first fix that takes time(which the GPS Aids app will help you),after that it will be back to normal.
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
not exactly - the way I understand it is that KI8 is European firmware, hence the GPS tries to fix to some point around that region by default and hence the first fix needs to be aided by apps etc.

Whenever I flash an EU ROM, my GPS tries to locate me at some point in London :)

I bought New S2 today..Box contents are -

Handset + Battery

1 Charger

1 Earphone

1 Pouch

1 Quick Guide

(No installation CD is given)

Is this the normal contents delivering along in India..??
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Welcome here. Why would you need a CD? Download the latest Kies from,

org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=UNI_IN&CttFileID=4519844&CDCttType=SW&ModelType=N&ModelName=GT-I9100&VPath=SW/201105/20110512115717796/Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe

However it's the crappiest thing out there, you'd probable get used with Odin shortly :)

I had GPS Fix only twice/thrice till I purchased it. That's why I gave it a go :) How long did it took for the first time? And did you manage to change the server to India somehow? India isn't listed under server list!

PS- Anyone tested KI4 2.3.5 yet?
[Galaxy S II General] anujagg:
Hello Friends,

I bought GS2 3 months back after waiting for all the months. I was super excited to use this phone but soon got pissed off by Samsung and their customer support. I wanted to upgrade to XWKF3 (2.3.3 only, but that's what you were offered by that **** Kies). But even after spending countless no of hours on phone with Samsung and on PC with Kies, I could not do so.

Then one mahapurush introduced me to this forum and pointed me to how to upgrade to KF3 using Odin. I showed some courage and got that working. I was happy.

Now one problem which bothers me the most is that I have to enter PIN after every few minutes as my Outlook server has this policy and there is no way you can set the screen delay lock in 2.3.3. I came to know by some fellow colleague that Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch runs 2.3.4 and has more options there. So now I am tempted to try that as well. But I have a few (may be stupid) questions which I want to ask:

a) I understand that official 2.3.4 or beyond port is not available from Samsung for India. So whatever ROM I would try, will that be an official Samsung ROM for some other country OR a custom & stable ROM for India?

b) Do I have to root my phone as well before I put that custom ROM or can it be done w/o rooting as well?

c) Does the most stable 2.3.5 version, which most members have recommended, provide the delay screen lock feature which I am looking for? Anyone else has tried that?

d) How much should I worry about for my phone becoming a brick? This phone is damn expensive and that is the last thing anyone wants to happen. You know I am giving this phone all due respect in handling it what it deserves :)

I am going through all the posts now to learn what this is all about and want to thank you for helping so much people like me.
[Galaxy S II General] silver2706:
Hi dear thanks for the reply..

My worry is , Are these the normal contents of the box..or something extra is delivered with the box..?

gps calibration

hello,

is there a way to calibrate GPS? i know GPS gives accuracy by 100mtrs due to technology.

But my SGS2 GPS shows my position 350m away from my actual location.

I tried that gps aid...it locks within 18 sec.....but hw do i "correct" / calibrate my position?
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
Do this .

take your GS1. Switch off the lights in the room.

Switch on the LED flash in GSII. and scan entire screen of GSII with the light.

You 'll find numerous, very fine scratches which are invisible with naked eye.

I got a few of those near the light sensor in 1 month on my GSII. Now on Screen guard!!!

Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof !!! Its scratch resistant !!!

@ safepacket and other aokp users

im not getting the keyboard after flashing the gnexus theme in aokp m5 builds(dragon and hydrogen ics). but the same kboard works fine on bezke m5 build. do you people faced anything similar to that?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Try fixing permissions or see if their is keyboard apk file in system/app

BTW I am on bezke AOKP(the guy was first to port AOKP and don't know why people use hydrogen ics? Because of fancy name?)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
it does works on bezke build like i mentioned, but not on any other builds. dunno why bezke is not there in aokp team for s2.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
+ 1

I used his rom from day 1. Any day I prefer it over hydrogen or any aokp. He isn't a kid like netchip and paradoxx and doesn't have time. He's got family I suppose. Also, he did it for fun, not for money or to become a fully fledged developer.
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Yes mate you are right . I was on bezke till now . Just flashed hydro m5 and elegance 1.7 and no keyboard. Installed HTC ime mod and it crashed too .

So only bezke m5 ..did u test with dragon ics?
[Galaxy S II General] exynoss:
So If bala is right Samsung has two new phones named as bala mentioned then what will be the new price of our gs2 :confused::confused:

Galaxy I9800 = 38k

Galaxy i9300 = 29k

And the new revised price of our gs2 will be

Galaxy i9100 = less then 23k :confused:

So according to this theory sell your gs2 tomorrow or as soon as possible before price drop. 20+ is a nice price for resell

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yes :D

and here is the summary from androipolice

4.8-inch 720p Super AMOLED HD Display

1GB RAM

16/32GB storage, 64GB version "available soon"

microSD Card slot

Eye Tracking

Smart stay: keeps the screen awake while you're looking at the display

S-Voice: advanced voice recognition, "like a good friend who listens attentively" -- definitely a strong competitor to Siri

Floating videos: lets you resize videos and move them around on the display whilst they float atop other windows. Nice!

8MP rear shooter with zero shutter lag, 3.3 shots per second

Best Photo: takes a burst of eight shots, automatically chooses the best one

S Beam: Wi-Fi direct meets NFC

1.9MP front camera with "face recognition" and HD video capabilities

2100mAh Battery with Wireless Charging technology

Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)

Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi HT40

GPS/GLONASS

NFC

136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm, 133g

Android 4.0

some cons from my point

bezels could have been much thinner

back surface reminds me of glossy sgsl surface

apart from that everything looks good :):)
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Now let's start brainstorming .

How does it look against HTC one x ?

[Galaxy S II General] drrkgupta:
Just saw the unboxing event! It seems that the S3 except for the processor is similar to our S2. Just some nifty features added which I am sure that the developers will port it to S2 as soon as the code is out!

Definitely the doggy looks better that that phone.

How could a brand make that design!! Unbelievable, that peoples taste have gone....anyway!!

HTC one x kisses SGS3's legs in power and overall features but its upon people which one they like in design and UI
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Agree!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
sgs3 looks 2 times better than one x, the main reasons are

* better processor

* better screen

* better battery

* sdcard slot
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Good for me atleast.I wont feel bad now that i didnt take S3. ;)

Yes the S3 is a beast in specs..but sometimes a phone needs to have some basic design and manufacturing standards.

The all new S3 is a big fail in both design and buid.
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
Dissapointed :(

Large bezel. Pentile screen. Note still has the best screen. same set of buttons.TouchWiz with same icons. The back is ****ty plastic. I dont like its looks and compare it to One X. HTC absulutely wins.ceramic back it seems :mad:

and i guess no face unlock ?? :mad: and that ripple on the lock screen from ICS was taken too seriously like touching a small pond !!! what !!! . Nature key sounds. :confused:

wireless charging sounds good but i can't think of any advantages except for carrying around a heavier thing to charge.

some features like eye tracking, direct call, and that siri copy will be nothing special. Someone tell me how will that front came detect my eye in the dark ?? these are one of those gimicky features that is mostly of no use. btw how many GHZ ?

Camera, free 50 GB dropbox are awesome. Speaker seems nice & 2100 MAH is nice.

No, S2 is staying with me :) for a longer time. :D

Note 2 will be the one i guess.

Just read the live blog for s3. So the real question in XDA style who will be the first to convert S3 Firmware for S2.
[Galaxy S II General] sub1n:
Horrible back panel

I still can't digest the back view of the phone. Looks like galaxy y. look at the way the camera, speakers and led are placed. Just turn over ur SII and then look at the picture of SIII. Horrible.!!!

better they change it before the final release or atleast put the whole galaxy SIII name instead of just samsung.

HTC is better in design and UI man..any day..

See that sweet unibody on One X.Look at the way those grills are perforated..the rubbery matte finish..Holy **** it actually looks like a 36000 phone. !!!!

And as for UI..no need to argue ;)

S3 has quad core..so wat??I wont be running Crysis 12000(or watever version) on it ;) It is a phone..and will be used as one after the initial excitement of installing games,apps resides...Boring Samsung !!

Anyways to each his own.
