Hi,

I'm facing an issue while copying files to the internal flash. I'm running the stock KJ3 rom rooted using CF-root.

Was trying to install a couple of gameloft games when it gave me an error that my device is not responding. Had to plug the plug and insert it again. Tried copying the same files. It just doesnt transfer. After aborting the file transfer, I can't view the files on my flash/sd card.

Is there a fault with the device?

Any ideas?

EDIT: Tried a different USB port, same problem.

Thanks,

Shray

Any ideas guys?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
This one thing really happened. I took my galaxy s 9000 to a service center when gb was out for service centers(or so I heard) the Guy looks at my phone and asks "is this a Samsung phone? " lol. I didn't know if I should laugh my guts out or walk away from there. I showed him the name SAMSUNG clearly written on the phone and the box.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
How about trying changing the USB port? Better to try the ports located up front the CPU if used back one or vise-versa
[Galaxy S II General] shrayv:
Tried the ones in the front too. Copying another game. No errors yet.

But i did not understand why i received an error saying "the phone is not found".

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
What was the exact error which you got actually? Is it "the phone is not found". or "device is not responding" ??

EDIT: The exact error helps a lot in identifying the problem actually.

You can remove it it's just odin telling you it has detected the phone no issues there

Hmm..Ok there is another option which i use..There is a app ES File explorer.Its free.If you have a wifi router..you can configure it easily..only few clicks..Now,you can create a folder where you can drop all your files.And then just a copy-paste files from there to your sdcard.As simple,as it is..

Don't directly copy files to the USB storage it is an issue ......i created a music folder copied files from pc to usb sotrage error and then gone .........i read some place always copy from PC to SD_CARD and then to storage bit tedious but full proof.

My new SGS II Update Problem

I purchased the SGS II, today. It comes pack with Gingerbread 2.3.3 firmware.

I am curious to know, if there is any update available??

As, i have read at many blogs, that Samsung provided update to 2.3.5 for GS II, in October.

But, kies is showing that it is the latest firmware for my phone, i.e. 2.3.3

Please, someone help me here, just answer that if there is any other official update of GS II, after 2.3.3.

Also, i am not thinking of ROOT, yet, as it is brand new. :p

Sorry, for my bad english.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
The last ROM India got was XWKF3, 5 months ago. When I purchased it came with KE7, which was 2.3.3 also.

NO, Samsung don't care to provide any update after KF3. So your only option is to flash an European 2.3.5 ROM, like most of us are using. You should check the thread below to download the ROM you need, KJ1/KJ2 or KJ3, whichever you want. Just read that thread how to flash a ROM with Odin.

• http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

And for Rooting and as a starter you should root with Chainfire's method. See below topic and read it carefully, (Root with KJ1.zip if you've flashed KJ1 ROM)

• http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

And Welcome here.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Thanks for your Reply. You are kind.

I will try the method you stated.

Is there any major difference between 2.3.3 or 2.3.5 firmware? I mean performance wise.

I hope, at least we get the ICS update, when it comes out, otherwise XDA always Rocks!!!!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Many it is more crisper better battery life, better power widget no more bounce effect.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Also check DoomLord's method for Rooting,

No Major Changes , But better Battery Life,A little (1 Percent )faster phone

But anyways/always an update is update

So if you have a wish to update, no Second thought,read it and flash it

I've seen many people say this rom is fast et al. This is a sgs2 guys. Sgs2 IS fast already. Even if it ran on froyo. C'mon. 1.2 ghz and 1 gb ram inside this monster.
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Hmmm, 5% drop isn't enough to judge battery life. The battery gauge on our phones is not very accurate (case in point being increasing battery levels without the charger plugged in), so measuring things over say 50% would be much better!

Try MIUI Music. I don't think I can link the apk here, but knowing you, you will find it :)

If that is on USB then it is fine. 1650 mAh battery, 450 mA charging speed, so that is ok.

An update for members who are following this thread.

The SGS2 which has NFC has a sensor on the back below the camera which looks like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GayyhN85BcY

So even if Letsbuy says NFC will be activated. I'm pretty sure it won't be possible!
[Galaxy S II General] ujwols:
Hello Tanmay,

Are you sure that is the sensor ? Why would they put a sensor on the battery cover ?
[Galaxy S II General] khein:
That is probably not the actual nfc. But rather just an indicator/guide to aim that logo on another nfc device.
[Galaxy S II General] ujwols:
Might be..but none of the SGS2 back cover that I have seen so far have this icon below the camera ...

Moreover, this site says also says that probably NFC chip on SGS2 is not on the back but integrated somewhere into it's body like Nokia C7..which I too feel could be the possibility..

It's fantastic! Just right for me.. It protects the back and sides only. It has cut outs wherever there is a button. And when you keep the phone on a flat surface the camera doesn't touch the surface as there is a slight recess coz of the case. Best of all, it's super thin so doesn't add much to the phone and gives a good grip as well.

Be careful while buying stuff here!

Friends, just wanted you to be careful while buying stuff people are selling here under various nicknames. Recently responded to a Seller's post who is selling some peripheral for SGS 2. Apparently, he was in the same city as me so I suggested we should meet personally to do the transaction (small 500 rs. item) and exchanged phone numbers. Also told him that I have an imported case worth 700 rs. and maybe we can do a barter trade. He agreed and we fixed a time to meet. Then suddenly he messages me at 1 AM to negotiate about the price! At 1 AM in the night he wants to discuss the price of this small item! Can you believe it! LOL. I told him lets meet at the appointed time tomorrow and we'll decide the price on the spot. Next day, two hours before the appointed time, he messages me saying that he cannot make it, so can we meet the next day (which was today). I said OK. Today when I called him up to confirm the appointed time for today, he doesn't pick up the phone! Moral of the story : Beware of buying stuff from sellers who only want to transact with you online, without showing you their face in person. In all probability, they are selling a faulty item. :rolleyes:

Posted this incident here so that everyone can learn from it. I personally would never make an advance payment online to buy any product from an unknown seller. One should always examine the product in person first and then buy it.

Hey since I have rooted just yesterday and if i would have to upgrade, should i try out the above 2.3.5 ROM or wait for ICS ROM??
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
You've asked the toughest question dude, if yesterdays news/rumour is true, that ICS is coming in December then you know its meaningless to update to anything now. But if it comes in Q2 as Samsung previously mentioned then why not update?

Now I don't know why that I am having a feeling that by X-MAS we'll have ICS, I mean officially. I don't give a damn about which Dev is working on it and any Custom ROMs.

Now you have to decide what you're gonna do. There is not heaven and hell difference between 2.3.3 & 2.3.5, so........
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well let me stick on to what I have now till least January then. Actually I would never thought I would try to install a ROM myself at least for a year :-P but then after I rooted it looks like not that difficult thing to do. So I just as might wait for a official version from Samsung itself to get the proper taste. Thank you.

First day with S2....loving it!!!!

So, here it is..

I got the phone y'day, charged it full.

Its been 24 hours, and there is still 65% battery left. I used it heavily, wifi was on, most of the time, played music for about 2 hours, played some games, got many calls.

So, what i am trying to say here is that, SGS 2 is giving excellent battery backup.

Earlier, i read in so many blogs, that SGS II's battery is not so good, and it rarely gives a good backup.

But, here, am loving my new phone!!!!!!

Flashing any other 9100 rom will work for you, considering you are new to this, don't go for a flashing straight away, read some threads before proceeding.

Flashing the Netherlands one is ok.

Yes, you would need to use Odin. There is also a recently released app called Mobile Odin, but I haven't used it till now, so cannot comment.
