u can either use smartassv2 mobile which has inbuilt screen off profile, or can use boot scripts for the same
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Guy's thank you for the suggestion. The only thing bothering me is the thickness of Sony xperia mini and mini pro. Its much fatter than the current Nokia 5230 :p mom will not understand what all is inside the hood actually.. Its like its thin and cheap then its a go kind condition I'm put up with :p

However I will tell her to see live mobile sets before checking mini pro fully.

If not mini, HTC wildfire S better guys?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
criskelo is good and awesome....
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Try network monitor mini from market. Its real time speed indicator at any use of application :D

[Galaxy S II General] dkimmortal:
My friend bought the mini pro and loves it!
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
If you specifically want Nokia for her, go for this C5-03

Price is some 9k iirc.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
That too was part of consideration. But the software version is same as the present 5230 and no value addition. Android looks better I felt later on with 1K price difference :)
[Galaxy S II General] dkimmortal:
Not compatible with your device!? Is it the same for you or just me?

As bala said, Criskelo is pre cooked Rom. Just flash and enjoy, comes with theme and mods, super smooth!!

Edit: Working download link for V38 http://depositfiles.com/files/ey1q6901f

Tasted Criskelos "CriskeloServanTEAM -V1-MD5LP6". It is with Nova Launcher too! Looking good!
[Galaxy S II General] 3xeno:
Cam is not that good. Just saying that since it is a priority for you. My Wildfire has a 5MP camera, and pix taken from that are as detailed (Not talking about resolution, actual resolved detail) as 2MP pix from other devices. Apart from that, I don't see any issues with the Wildfire S, considering your mom will not be an extreme power user. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
oh.. In that case WildFire S would be good imo. Camera is 5MP with autofocus flash. But check if its available, there was shortage sometime back. Don't know about htc explorer's results.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh.. Let me check in the camera again then :D and mom will use it just for messaging, radio and to admire it :P

Yes mate. Hope its still available over the local store. Thank you :)

CriskeloV38 is this week's 5th ROM I will be flashing in some time :p

No problem with Wifi, its working vrey good,

I didn't heard about V39 as Team Criskelo working on ICS rom

Its all right:) Just give enough time to the rom to be stable!

Man believe me

Don't go by the name HTC

and this Xperia mini is getting ICS in march-april...

plays all gameloft games

5 MP (SONY!) camera with 720p

Hi, i am experiencing a weird problem, from few days!!!

My screen display lit up randomly. This started happening, when i was on Criskelo. I flashed Siyah 2.6.11, after that it all started. Then, i flashed NEAK, but still, the same problem. Then i flashed Hyperdroid, with RedPill Kernel...but still same problem!!! It eats up some battery too. I tried better batterystats, but it doesn't shows anything abnormal.

Any one else experienced this problem, can any one help???
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
use network speed

it works good

https://market.android.com/details?...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldHNwZWVkLnB0Il0.
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
'Lit up' means brightness increasing/decreasing? It happens with me often but then I just uncheck auto-brightness option.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
No problem with 2.6.9 and criskelo here.

I do flash Kernel cleaneing script before flashing new kernel, so you also give a try

IMO stick with 2.6.9 and criskelo all together.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
I meant when my screen is off, it lits up randomly.Not the auto-brightness thing!! I always set it manually.

I always use Kernel Cleaning Script, before flashing new kernels. But it all started, after i flashed 2.6.11. After that i tried many kernels, but the problem remains.
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
View this image on your phone screen and see if those spots are visible...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I use Cool Tool.

I was using that app until I found it keeps showing in Task Manager and as I've a tendency to Exit everything at night it also closed due to that.

Dying of MU is a heartbreaker for me. Eagerly waiting for a new host to come up, as stable as MU, don't know if it will ever come or not !!!

Fu(k SOPA.
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
Got it. It ought to be app related issue. I faced that thing when my phone was unrooted. Display used to lit up like some notification has arrived. Try cleaning apps to find the nasty one among them, but its hell of a task.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
So what r u going to do now? Making backup everthing on pc and Hard reset??

OT: Can anyone suggest me a good custom rom for my friend's Galaxy ACE?
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Why don't you do a TitaniumBackup and uninstall all apps and restore around 5apps a time and see what app is causing it...
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
M thinking...maybe its an app issue, coz i searched on google, and everyone seems to think so. Also, sometimes there is a notificatin in my pull bar, which asks me to install free app, mostly burn the rope.

Sorry to muneeb99, cant press thanks....daily limit!!!!! Thanks...for ur suggestion.

Nova launcher is in beta, but has many features in beta stage itself much better than trebuchet, those devs have yet to integrate the new widget mechanism in nova, apart from that looks promising. Following nova launcher thread closely :)

@Harsha

How about Nokia X2-02,C5 or especially the X3-02(looks gr8), has a decent camera, for your mom i think android would be a bit complicated to try.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
No.

It's deifinitely not a screen problem as the screen is working perfectly. It's the camera that is taking pics with those spots.

hey guys, its been a while since i posted here. my s2 works finally after i got it back from service. but i am still having the old issues persisting. my data just dies suddenly. i see H but nothing works. some times, i don't see even the H/E symbol.

secondly, i noticed a line on my screen guard when i got back my phone from service center. today i looked at it closely. it seems to be a sharp line on the screenguard. i am considering removing the screen guard to see if it has affected the screen too. but should i take that chance? it is an amazer screen guard.

I'm running on KF3 out the box, my sg2 is aug 2011 make

Yesterday it gave me 15hr 24 min and 14% battery remaining, used 1hr taking,1 hr browsing on 3g, no music listening, few application install and downloads
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
IMHO probably we'll get it as a Diwali bonus i.e. end of October lol. Sammy loves to give surprises. I recently read a thread where a guy got 2 OTA firmwares in 2 consecutive days and one of them was called DUMMY :D . Talk about surprises LOL.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Ha ha, that "dummy" is really dummy, he is making fool of us
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Agree. Though I do have the pink spot (intermittently). KF3 is very stable with very good battery life. With reasonable medium usage I am getting 24-36 hours easy. There are still some issues and rough edges though. If Samsung resolves them, I foresee 48 hours easy with medium usage, with silky smooth operation.
[Galaxy S II General] euclid1:
Guys....any news about any new & upcoming HD games from Gameloft for our SII like Backstab & Shadow Guardian...still not officialy released for our devices.dont want to root my device for them.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I have to agree as well. KF3 is fantastic with battery life. My only complaint is that within the EMail app, we cannot use a 3rd Party KB with Auto Correction. This is a pain for me since I have over 300 Email a day.

I am at KH3 Now, which isnt to bad, but KF3 was the BEST out of all of them. Come to think of it, KG3 wasnt bad either.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I've seen a meteoric increase in my battery life as i have been jumping from stock ROM to stock ROM KF3 -> KG3 -> KH3. I believe with every ROM they do away with battery hogging processes for rest you can view this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1234264

And then again there are apps like juice defender (which i'm gonna try today) which are much talked about for performance sake.

PS: The black wall paper tip really does work :D

No news on the upcoming but i believe Fast and Furious 5 was the last game that released somewhere in Jul-Aug

Correct me if I'm wrong :D

Unable to restart the phone

Hi all,

I am not able to restart my Samsung Galaxy SII. On plugging in the charger i am getting the battery symbol with warning triangle(picture attached). No modification has been tried on the cell phone.

please advise.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
H/E signal drop might be due to network problem(hopefully) and would resolve itself.

Double check your screen for scratch, service center guys never care about things like this, also amzer is cheap so you can buy another one
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
roger that. how ever, i will do that later on. i am going out of station next week and i am absolutely tied up till then. i cant go to the service center and claim the damages. btw, can i? i am sure it is not my fault. it has been there only after i gave the phone.

EDIT: just pulled the guard and saw. no damages caused on screen. but now, my screen looks like sh!t after i pulled the screenguard and put it back.

So if I am not wrong, I should first flash .pit, csc, code, modem files via Odin.

And then flash the Kernel file ?

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
"Performance" will always give you smooth and lag free usage because it never clock downs from the top clock frequency you set. so if you st your max frequency as 1.2, then it will stay the same, you are getting performance with the compromise of battery life. You can give "performance" a try for a full battery cycle and see the difference in battery backup.(do let me know if there is less impact in battery life ;))

Hm, I forgot that. Thanks for reminding. CPU Spy is confirming that only Deep Sleep and 1200 Mhz are in use, others not.

I really don't care about battery life anymore, but all performance.

But the thing hitting me is why would 'Ondemand' not give needed performance when its needed. That's why the name is on-demand, but it seems better name would be like-demand :p

I've no problem keeping the Performance governer, but running the device at 1200 Mhz all time is weird. Other than gaming and benchmarking its not needed at all.

I wish there was a governer in between Ondemand and Performance which will clock down the CPU when not needed and clock up to max for the opposite.

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement

ACTA bypasses the sovereign laws of participating nations, forcing ISP’s across the globe to act as internet police.

eDIT: More details:

ACTA contains global IP provisions as restrictive or worse than anything contained in SOPA and PIPA.

ACTA spans virtually all of the developed world, threatening the freedom of the internet as well as access to medication and food. The threat is every bit as real for those countries not involved in the process as the signatories themselves.

ACTA has already been signed by many countries including the US, but requires ratification in the EU parliament.

ACTA was written and hammered out behind closed doors. While some of the provisions have been taken out of the final US draft, plenty of unknowns still exist. It’s not nearly clear enough how the agreement will affect US laws.
