Guys i'm facing FC everytime i try to open My Files. Any ideas what to do?

Am on Hyperdroid Androidmeda ROM. Never xperienced this before. Already tried wiping the cache
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
In titanium backup.First backup the data(Optional,but to be on safer side if something goes wrong) and then Wipe data for My Files(My Files 1.0.0).After this reboot.It should be fine.report back if all goes well :)
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Settings--> Manage Application --> All--> My files: Force Stop and clear data.

Cleared data for my files and also rebooted but still the same. Help me out here

I bought the Galaxy S2 from Flipkart. On the box it was I9100 but inside I got an I9100G. The G version seems to be inferior to the non G. They are offering a refund for it. Cause they know its a BIG mistake on their part of cheating a customer. I am assured of a refund. So guys, can you suggest me a best replacement for S2? I'm tired of problems with this handset. This will be my 2nd refund of the same handset in a month's time. Do I go for the Sensation XE or Galaxy Nexus as my next phone?
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Ah, I don't know. At times things gets messed up and a logcat might help to track the issue. But I would suggest to backup your apps and do a full wipe. It will save a lot of time.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
S2 with stable AOSP/CM9 > Galaxy nexus imho.

Exynos is more powerful than the OMAP in Galaxy nexus.

Super AMOLED HD screen of the galaxy nexus means, it has a lot more pixels and it will make the phone slower. Also it lacks the pentile matrix ("plus" thingy of the super amoled) which imo brings me to the conclusion sgs2 has a better display.

Galaxy Nexus has a faster cam, while the sgs2 takes better quality photos.

If I were you, I would buy it for tue 3rd time. :) Galaxy Nexus is great, but I think s2 is better. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
Works on mine. Random crashes do occur but when the games runs, it's worth the hassle.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
i am sorry mate, you are misinformed. the camera is sure a 5mp cam and the s2 has an 8mp. but that does not really matter. you are not going to make poster size images from the pics.

according to tests, the image quality is better on the galaxy nexus
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
I am writing this after reading dozen of reviews over the internet. Do some homework before you post. Pixels don't matter, quality do. Pics taken from nexus lacks details and are often blurred. Unless you have good lighting and steady hands, pics are ordinary.

Guys,

How do I get the Hindi font working on my SG2?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
When you upgrade to android 2.3.5 or 2.3.6, all indian fonts are displayed in galaxy s2 default.

by installing Multiling keyboard we can type in most of the indian lang like hindi,telugu etc

GPS hack doubts

Ok so I did this. Just a couple of doubts:

1) I was using faster fix before so will that affect this hack or will it just be overwritten?

2) gps.conf.bak was not auto generated for some reason so how do I now go back to default settings if required?

Core: 1

I just got OS monitor and I must say it's pretty damn awesome for a free app. Just one doubt, if you observe the 'Scaling Range' Section in the attachment below, it says core: 1. What does this mean? Is it only using one core? I am on Siyah 2.5.2 with geko's OC/UV settings but I am not hotplugging or using Tegrak's 2nd core app to turn off one of the cores. Could someone pls explain what this 'Core 1" means?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
ok...Sensation XE? It looks nice.......How about nokia lumia 800? Motorola RAZR ?.........Well it is your decision to select what you want
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Even I had many issues with SGS2 got 2replacements and got many displays changed but I finally got a refund and then I went and bought a S2 again... And I'm happy now :) nothing is as smooth as the S2 and u can check for I9100LKAINU that's the exynos version its written on the side of the box... I got mine from Croma 4days back its still there in the market the October batch particularly..
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
You using an ICS ROM? @radicalangel
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
As per what research I have done its better to stick with SGS2 rather then the Droid Razr cause of developer support and performance... Even the Razr has display issues
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Nope. On CheckROM v4 | Siyah 2.5.2 | Geko OC/UV | ICS 1.6 VRT
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
So... what do I get? A Droid RAZR or Galaxy Nexus or Sensation XE? Do give me suggestions guys. I'm really sad to lose the S2 three times. I want a proper phone for my multimedia uses.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I will say you select what you want..If we say something and later you didn't like it than you might feel sad for spending 30k on a item you didn't like...

After editing the gps.conf don't use fasterfix anymore, doesn't matter if you've used it before.

Don't know why the auto backup wasn't created! I just took a backup of my original, so anything goes wrong I'll just upload here if you need.

They very cleverly purchased another three moths actually. On 31st March another announcement will come, saying, it's almost there, it's coming very soon in Q2, and you know what's next, next and next.....

Can anyone tell me the approx price of the SGS2 original battery? need to buy a spare...
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
i read somewhere regarding batteries. if you are having no plans of usig the spare battery right now and wnat to keep it for later use, it is advised to buy the battery when you need it. because, a batteries life starts reducing the moment it is made.

meaning, a battery made today and never used till next year, will not have the same charge carrying capacity like what it had today.

just trying to improve some knowledge. please dont mistake or misunderstand me

I also checked with my bsnl broadband wifi to use amazon appstore in mobile .through wifi also purchase is not happening in mobile

I think some of the Indian IP addresses are filtered out by amazon

[Galaxy S II General] Link2Adi:
Its highly probable that the UV values that are good for someone else might not work for u at all. The trick is to to adopt Trial & Error method.

Guys I have a serious issue with my S2.

Yesterday I flashed Wicked ROM and everything was fine till night, when I switched my phone to flight mode, that was the start of the disaster, I tried switching it back to normal mode and the option was greyed out. Did a restart, flight mode is off now, but IMEI and Baseband are gone :(

After contacting the Wicked ROM dev and some searching, struggling the whole night, I was able to restore efs from a factory firmware, I thought everything was fine, only to see that the IMEI is now a generic one 004999010640000.

Wicked ROM did a auto efs backup before flashing, so I have a backup img of my efs folder, but I'm not able to extract it or flash it with Hellcats Ktool.

I have ran out of options, Please help :(

As a last resort, I'm thinking of ordering a USB Jig and reset counter, flash to stock and give it in service center. How much should a USB Jig cost? Are those available in eBay reliable?

Update: The factory efs only got the baseband back and a generic IMEI, I'm not able to make any calls or send sms :(
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Hmm..we both have run out of options..

guys any idea?

BTW harsha contact odia.PMed you his profile page.PM him .

**Guys please backup your efs at regular intervals.You never know when such thing a will happen!!**

PS- The sad part is it is not ROM related.I searched for possible solutions for Harsha a lot and found out even a restore from titatnium backup or a CWM restore can screw efs!!.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
