Video playback-use sw mode in Mx video player

Video recording-use video cam illusion app from market that records 480p

MTP-use Droid explorer(its a windows software which is used just like windows explorer with USB connected or use wifi explorer)

When i make a call, process phone force closes. What to do? On checkrom v6 with ics domination.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
did you change the dpi?
[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
@Safepacket

U can get a lot of tabs for 10-12K.Check letsbuy/tablet section.

If u want a GOOD TAB- Spend 25-27K and get Galaxy Tab 7 plus or Galaxy Tab 7.7.

or wait for another 2-3 months and get Galaxy Tab 2 with ICS preloaded.

@Harsharaj - for prevention of Kernel Panic(Advice I gleaned from xda & other android forums)

1.Do not do processor intensive work during charging-Gaming,GPS

2. Stop over clocking and under volting

3. If you flash a rom, if it's possible use a clockwork recovery image instead of using Odin.

4. If frequent KP- then go to stock DDKL1 and do not change kernel

If still KP occur - strong suspicion of Hardware damage - Sammy service center - claim warranty(u know the procedure :D:D:D).

[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Nope.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I don't mind the video playback and MTP, but video recording is a must. Guess I will wait till Samsung releases the sources :)

or chances are that ICS theme is causing the problem.

Guys how to edit wpa_suppliant file? Text editor is like symbols and Chinese!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
1. Will take care of that from now.

2. Never done that before.

3. Always using CWM. Using odin only if there is no .zip available.

3. Well two times is not frequent I hope :p if at all it happens again, how long should I be in KL1 with stock kernel?

I just pray to god I won't be seeing those service center people!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
So.. You in ICS 2.0. There was a procedure to install the theme:

1. Flash the universal version

2. Reboot

3. Flash the CheckROM only version

4. Reboot.

This is how you did?

OT: 3 consecutive replies! Sorry :banghead:

@ sahib

i have seen some virtual button mods with search button in modaco forums , but there is no tutorial or help, its a mod. downloaded it tried to figure out what has changed in layout, but couldnt.... may be will try again later
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Exactly how i did it. Now I can't make calls!! :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Used tab is indeed good idea. Reason i was lookong for cheap tab was i wanted to gift it to my dad. He would use it max for checking mails or may be read some news etc.

Thanks for the suggestions though

What's that line towards the right side of graph? What's happening to my phone!!!
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Flashing theme resulted in this unbelievable . Try flashing theme restore pack from the kitchen.

Btw that do you get signal on the phone ?not scaring you but i hope you did not corrupt the EFS .

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
480p is not bad quality(see YouTube 480p)

And to edit wpa_suppliant u need hex editor and that **** is not for us(just open the file in hex editor and see:D:D)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Ah that happens now and then. Don't worry :D

Regarding phone calls try the following independent options:

1. Install exDialer from market as temp solution

2. Reflash CheckROM v6

3. If that's a pain then you can try replacing the "phone.apk" and "phone_util.apk" from the CheckROM v6.zip file. Use root explore foe extracting and replacing under system/apps.

Yeah you can try the theme restore too which will remove the ICS theme and hopefully make the phone Dialer work.

And lol his phone.apk crashed and no efs corrupt. And if you see his screenshot there is signal. :p He is already paranoid :p

Oh thought it would be like html to edit the wpa_suppliant lol. Don't wanna break my head now :D. Will check the 480p quality then. But some what feeling to go down from 720 to 480p :p
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Can't multi quote.

Efs isn't corrupt. I have backup anyway. I'll flash all again tomorrow now. Thanks all.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
@ Harsha

R U going to try CM9???
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well try the Tapatalk app which is free in Samsung apps. It supports multi quote ;)

well I just felt like trying it. Before buying my first android phone I had plans of trying CM after first root. But CM7 wasn't good. Anyhow to try things I must see that I won't get kernel panic again after testing for few days though.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Don't bother about the kernel panic mate. Just enjoy your s2: )
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
CM9 is insanely fast as compared to stock ics from samsung, but sadly it has bugs of its own
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
@Harsha Raj

Well I got an entire refund from Samsung the phone was bout 3months old then... There were some serious issues with it which led to further complications...

But in ur case I think it might be software cause it started to happen now all of a sudden..

Wired problem...I'm on same theme and same rom..........I have flashed through CWM didn't reboot in between and not having any problem
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
What to do?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
In cwm wipe data/factory reset.

Reflash checkrom>in cwm wipe cache and dalvik cache>flash the theme again. Report back if problem occurred again...
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yes mate. There will be some or the other problem lol. Gonna try CM9 soon.

Oh yes thankfully I think it's not related to hardware. :)

Wait, before doing factory reset let him remove the theme first as we don't know if its Rom or theme issue. .

First try clearing dalvik cache and cache partition. .

If still can't call then try that theme remove from kitchen. .

Still problem then flash CheckROM as non wipe

Still problem, factory reset and flash as karchukumble told.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
If he done factory reset in cwm, only system got erased. His USB storage will remain intact.

Finally!! :-)

so finally i found a Galaxy S2 i9100, was the last piece at Croma, Belapur. That piece was destined for me i guess.:)

So now I would be updating it via Kies to 2.3.6. gonna stay unrooted for a bit, as this is my 1st android phone. So with wat applications should i start? whats must have for me right now? and wat acessorries should i invest in?

Temme the names of all the awesome games/applications and if possible from where to download them.

Thanks guys. Super Excited!!:)))))
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
glad you got SGS2 , welcome to android world:)

your 1st work should be to read some stickies here in xda, it will be much helpful for you.

[Galaxy S II General] dakaath:

[Galaxy S II General] umermajeed:
Thanks for the help ankit...Can you please tell me if thats with the hdmi adapter? Do you know any places that are selling it with the accessories like letsbuy.com is?
[Galaxy S II General] ankit1986:
HDMI adpater is not included. The price is only for the phone(screen guard is free :)).

I suppose u'll have to go for some online deal from letsbuy or infibeam if u want accessories with it.
[Galaxy S II General] thegr8anand:
Is the screen guard free with every purchase? Or you were able to bargain it?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yep, definitely the Left one has it's brightness set to 'Auto' while the Right one has at least 70% or more brightness. But what do you mean by Auto Brightness about 20%? I think Auto brightness works differently depending on the surrounding light conditions.
[Galaxy S II General] ankit1986:
Was able to bargain for it :)
[Galaxy S II General] AnDruid:
Flipkart is offering the phone with "HDTV Adapter"(they mean HDMI I think) and Car Charger, and standard stuff like Mobile Case etc at Rs 30990. However I see that Lets Buy lowered their price to 30,990 too, with the same accessories offered at ~Rs 32830 earlier. Guess you would have to choose between them if you want bundled accessories. My inclination would be to go with the guy which rhymes with 'Fish Mart', based on previous experiences.
[Galaxy S II General] rkp278:
Good news guys. Indian firmware, XWKE8, uploaded in samfirmware.com.

I think this is the best firmware currently. Awesome battery life, no OS drain. So I advice everybody to stick to this instead of flashing to KE7. :)

Got mine

I got mine today. i live in Chandigarh. Didnt pre-order. Its available with retailers after its yesterday's launch at Hotel TAJ Chandigarh. Feels good looks good. Too light weight. i ll post my review tonight after experiencing it
[Galaxy S II General] viper_79:
My phone looks like that even with 'Auto' turned off and brightness set to full on all three preset settings. As i said, there is no permutation combination left that I haven't tried.. but the screen has an awful blue tint at even the slightest angle.

Can u guys do me a favor, could u kindly put the attached white pic on ur phone and display it on full screen. What do u guys see when u tilt the phone in any direction? Is it blue or white? If u can see it as white at ANY setting whatsoever, then pls let me know. The phone has to go back tomorrow as the blue is unbearable. Also, the photos look very unrealistic when compared to viewing them on my HD2.

Awaiting your response guys... would request all the owners to chip in, will take only a couple of mins.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] kwokwchoy:
there's a blueish tint, looks like the oleo coating is blue in colour, but its only noticeable when looking at it at an angle...

i think you need to exchange your phone friend.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Oh well, then you should change it immediately buddy. My screen is damn white at full brightness, in fact too white that I've to decrease the brightness. Its only turn kinda non white only when the back light turns off.

Check in to the forum there are threads for FAQ's / Tricks / Tips all in Sticky in Q&A and discussion section.

First thing you should do is hook it up with wifi and explore the android market. Download tonnes of apps and games to your like ( that's what i did ) eg. Google Goggles, Sound Hound and Gameloft HD Games.

Use it for a couple of days and get a feel for this bad boy. If required you could also update your F/W (i know i keep advising that alot :D that's only to get maximum outta your device without voiding the warranty :D)

I had a HTC HD2 and never used a screen guard.

I don't use one on my SG2, IMO they are not needed and take away from the experience of the clarity of the screen.

These devices have great displays ( toughen glass) and screen guards are not really needed.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
2.3.4 has gtalk with video/voice chat(although not all of the releases have this feature for some reason. eg the I9100XXKH3)

there is a bug in 2.3.3 which is the "Android OS" bug. this causes the phone to heat up and uses most of the juice. something, which has been taken care of in the 2.3.4 release.

KH3 and KF3, well, i have not used em. but i personally find the KG1 a pretty damn good rom(better than the KG2)

Those who wants Phasebeam , Holo Live Wallpaper or Stock ICS Keyboard on LPH.

Can do this by

- Download Latest CM9 build.

- Open zip, from System/App folder

- Copy following APKs shown in Screenshot.

- Copy it to System/App via Root Explorer. and You will get all apps working :)

Hope, this helps someone wants to use stock stuffs.

Hi guys,

I follow this thread quite regularly and some of the post are quite helpful. I was on Checkrom4 and phenomenal extreme 4 kernel before this when I decided to upgrade to Checkrom 6 with a clean install ...wipe system wipe data factory reset....wipe dalvik..

Last two days on this ROM really liking the performance and battery....I want to stick with this ROM but I have run into a slight issue...with games...

1. All games worked perfectly till I tried to play mc3 which forced closed...every time...I did 3 fresh installs 748*3 mb but didn't work... So after searching on xda I found a fix to change the ro.kernel.android.check jni=0 to ro.kernel.android.checkjni=1 in build.prop .MC3 worked perfectly... but non gameloft games started force closing....like Deadspace.

2. Keep the value to 0 everything works except MC3 but on 1 most non gameloft games fc.

3. Can some of the Android experts help me here as to what this file does and how can I rectify the problem...I have reinstalled all games and data fresh...not from tb back up... and the problem is there on all kernels...

Thanks in advance...
