Guys I'm facing a very silly but irratating problem.I let my phone switch off by itself(by draining the entire battery).When fully charged,I switched it on...& quickly I got the notifications for the messages I received.But I couldn't find those "NEW" messages.I scrolled all the way down in messages & It was here that I found those messages(Unlike as new messages appear at the top).

Also when I viewed those messages, I didn't find the new one.Then I scrolled up in the chat history & found them there.Now all new messages continue from the top in chat history(Unlike that new messages appear at the bottom in chat history).

It is very frustrating.I'm still on KE2 (unrooted).

Anyone has some idea..How can I get rid of this problem???

EDIT: Found the problem.I had not set the current date and time after restart :-P
[Galaxy S II General] PRATS228:
hi thanks for your advice,have a query i bought my galaxy sII 2 months back and havent rooted it yet wanted to know what root means..? and what are the advantages of rooting and how to do this??

presently i am facing a problem as i am unable to play any HD games whenever i start any game it stucks.. PLzz help..
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Ah, this works well for me too. Thanks!

PS: Saw you on Leo's thread too. You need a change of sig!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Rooting is nothing but giving your mobile "administrator" rights like in windows. By default you will be working like a "guest" user in you mobile as you dont have access to any system files. After rooting(giving the admin rights) you will be able to access all the system files.

The advantage of rooting is that you can customize your phone a lot, for eg increase its speed etc etc, after rooting.
[Galaxy S II General] PRATS228:
thnx alot for this, kindly help me how to root my SII and which rom i should and where can i find it..?
[Galaxy S II General] micrographics:
Hi Friends,

Galaxy S2 is having a software tool called VoiceTalk.

Can anyone help me on how to use it because whenever I tried to use I get Error : "Check Your Network and Try Again"

Because of this Error I'm not able to use it while deriving or on the Go.

I visited Samsung Service and they said I've to contact my Service Provider to get it activated.

I need your help in getting this useful app to work.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
for that you must connect your mobile to internet and than it will work
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Wipe everything clean install checkrom then theme after this u can install any compatible mod you want
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
Obviously not. I dont think you can get rid of the Kies software yet retain the drivers it comes with, so it has to stay :(
[Galaxy S II General] sumitpathak:
@karankumar

If you have kernel with BLN then you can try this app

https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.bln.control.free&hl=en
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It's kernel problem try latest one 2.6.9..I had that problem 2 times
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Of course you can. As mentioned earlier by karan, you don't need Kies for odin. Its only the drivers.

You can download the drivers from here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961956

I did try this method to update the Rom of my friends galaxy pop. Just used the odin and the drivers. Faced no problem and my friend was happy too as I didn't have to put Kies load to his computer.

Oh but I never had this problem before with the current siyah version. Why all of a sudden this issue? Will try updating to 2.6.9.
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
I should've known someone would come and link a driver download page .Its XDA after all :P

Thanks for the reply buddy. I flashed the BLN mod from checkrom kitchen and tried this app. It says "BLN mod not installed"
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
:eek:Yet another update, yesterday was 2.6.8.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I had same issue with 2.6.4 upgraded to 2.6.7 till now no problem with it..Need to download 2.6.9 Lazy and Stupid net is soo slow :mad:

ya he is fast
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
I tried to generate eshop card(Axis), added that as payment method, but it still gets declined!!!
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
@Mr. Raviteja

Did you manage to flash ICS Domination 1.8 on checkrom v4 without any bootloop issues? Also, did the latest Siyah Kernel flash fine? Steps?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It will take sometime to boot after flashing 1.8 For me it took 5-10 minutes....Wipe cache and Dalvik cache before flashing it and after flashing wipe cache and Dalvik cache (2nd time no need to do it..I did that because I was flashing Siyah 2.6.7 after flashing theme without booting mobile).....I'm still on 2.6.7
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
I have a feeling you'll be on 2.6.9 by tomorrow. I dont know why :p
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
I am using Reliance. Rs 999 per month for 1 Mbps unlimited download. Getting excellent speeds. Mine is with combo plan (landline+internet)

For internet only plan, there is Rs 999 per month, with 1 Mbps day and 1.5 Mbps night (10 pm to 8 am) and no data limit or FUP. Airtel is costly and restrictive compared to most broadband providers.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
lol

in my area they offering 12 Mbps for 999 and 1Mbps for 99
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ harsha

It's called sleep of death mate, did u change your voltage or uc?

BTW siyah. 2.6.9 is awesome, jumped from 2.6.6 to this version and it solved most of the wakelock problems.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Whoa that's dead cheap dude, it's cheaper than cable TVs connection here: p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Ya, too many updates lol, but atleast there is change log so we can choose whether it's worth updating:)
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
Must be a limited plan. If not, im shifting to wherever you are. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
ya...........With tata photon now I'm not even getting 10KBps....Trying to download siyah 2.6.9 and download speed is 3 KB/sec :mad: ...Still can't select BSNL EVDO or Reliance netconnect+ :(

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

I'm using tata photon+ going to change soon.....Plans I said was Reliance 999/- 12Mbps unlimited
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
I don't think there are too many odin version. Samsung should spend some quality time in updating kies and make it useful, missing my old ovi suite...
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
OT: Bala get ready!....I will not say for what :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
unbelievable

Take the photon **** to tata showroom and throw it in their face.: D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Any surprise or gifts? I don't expect much ,a Galaxy note is enough: D
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Missing ovi suite, lol. I never installed it on my PC. Stuck to good old Nokia PC Suite, till I finally got my SGS2. After that no more wires for backing up. I now connect only to transfer media, though I know I can use many 'box' services, but still some old fashioned...

Have installed kies on old XP PC, just for updating firmware. Has generally worked fine for me so far. But they should start OTA. If Nokia crap symbian could do it, why not Samsung/Android.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
thirty face? lol.......They will say call CC team we can't do anything

Galaxy note? LOL I want it too........HINT: See post numbers :p
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
That's why i said "whenever a new version is developed" current is 1.85
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Samsung India will release FW now through OTA too... Android 2.3.3 don't support OTA 2.3.4 or Higher will support OTA and latest FW for us is 2.3.6 it will support OTA
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
12 mbps for Rs.999 and that's true unlimited? I just checked their site, can't find it!

Is it only available in your area?
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
How many people here agree that NEAK kernel is better than Siyah? :P
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I have no idea...Today while I was coming back from college I have seen few paper ads sticked to walls
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
I am sure raviteja you misread it.Its not available on there site.Its not beam to provide such speed at good price
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Go keyboard the culprit
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
OTA is not supported. Stock KL1 firmware in India always says "Connection Failed" when checked for updates. I don't know why. Even the crappy Galaxy Y can update OTA in India. Why is Samsung depriving SGS2 customers of stuff? :(
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I have not misread it..I have seen that in 4-6 places and all were saying 12Mbps unlimited 999 and 1 Mbps 99
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
this is my usage stats and better battery stats. i still cant interpret the better battery stats results.

today i had really bad 3G issues. i had to put my phone in flight mode every 15-20min to regain internet connection. at one point when my chief asked me for a little info on a drug(and he even praised me for the quick responses i give when something is asked), my internet completely failed me. it wouldnt work even after a reboot. i get full signal strength and H or H+.

please please help me. i am on KI4 rom stock not rooted.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
:( ...Ask in Q&A also you might get help from others in different countries too who might got this problem..........Do you keep Background data on all the time?

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

OT: Guys what is better BSNL EVDO or Reliance Netconnect+? Thinking to order tomorrow
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh.. No no. I have not messed up with voltage or uc settings at all. Still it happened like twice or thrice till now.. I will try the siyah. Btw, I feel my mobile is quite slow these from past a day too :( lags and stuffs :(
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
But they are not providing WIFI modems. I am using a wifi airtel connection. I've bought the modem. If I change to reliance. Can it be configured to this modem ? Please do reply!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
use system tuner or os monitor to see which is using your cpu, if its an unwanted app just uninstall it or clear the cache. siyah 2.6.9 is good, give it a try
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Yes it can be configured, i am using my airtel wifi modem with spectranet. Its working perfectly.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Thanks! So they wont charge for the modem I guess, only for installation. How is reliance btw? As a broadband service?
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
Guys how is XXKP8 ? Any significant change from LP1 ?

[Galaxy S II General] sameerg:
CPU voltage..

Hi,

i have set minimum CPU voltage to 200Mhz @ 900mV.

I want to know that if i'll set it to 100Mhz @ 900mV, will that make any difference ?

Thanks :)

To get info about latest drugs,u need not be online.Get Lexi or epocrates or medscape for offline Drug database.(Last 2 r free;First one try Googl e.)

Regarding ur signal drop problem,does ur 2g and voice connection also drop?If so,could ur EFS Partition got corrupted?

Regarding ur BetterBat status, Gtalk and Facebook apps do a lot of background activity and chew up battery.Ur gallery or some wallpapers(Do u have any 3rd party live wallpaper) also seem to be very active.May be time for u to disable auto sync and background activity.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
hey doc, thanks for the reply(i am so used to that line when i give opinions). when i have data issues, it is ONLY data issues. 3G/2G alike. i do not face issues with calls. coming to think of it, i have done re partition quite often. in fact, even today i attempted it when i flashed back to a KH3 rom. it was completely unsuccessful though.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
What? :eek:

Mine says "Connection Failed". And now I'm confused.
[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:
Me too on stock KL1, but I am getting "Connection Failed".
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
it will save some juice in ur battery, for 100 mhz you can use wither 875 or 850
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Will be flashing 2.6.9 then. Also had os monitor but haven't used it till now. Also system tuner looks amazing! Will see what all it can say.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yes ready!!i wont be available 4 the next 4 days, hopefully it wont happen on those days :p
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
ok, now my EFS is corrupt. i can not make calls even.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You did a backup of EFS?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It might happen... Less than 400 posts or it might not happen
[Galaxy S II General] sameerg:
Thanks for your reply...

Earlier i tried undervolting it to 875-850 but it wasn't stable..it is stable at 900mV

So, that's why want to know that will setting it to minimum 100mhz at 900mV will help me in saving battery ?

Or battery consumption will be same if i'll set minimum to 200mhz @ 900mV ?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
no. i did not.

i am getting into panic mode now. PLEASE PLEASE HELP. i am getting completely lost
[Galaxy S II General] ankitjain*:
Guys I want a 3.5mm to USB cable.which one to buy ? And website ?? Help
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Try GSII repair.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.GSII_Repair

last week a fellow indian GS2 user solved his problem.He also didnt take EFS backup.Please try and report back
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
From what I understand the power consumption is directly proportional to square of the voltage applied and linearly proportional to the clock frequency.

Hence , battery consumption should be lower at 100 Mhz.

But, in my case, I was able to uv 200mhz significantly to 800mv without any loss in stability. , but if I reduce to 100 I face sods. so, makes more sense to run at 200.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Do you have a nandroid back up? Try to restore it... I think it will fix ...... Have you tried siyah kernel before? If yes check memory card or device memory it creates a backup
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Use this tool in attachment. This may help!!!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
have u installed siyah 2.6 atleast once? if so then u will have the backup
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
If both failed like said in before post... Few days back some one had same problem and he used a app which solved it.. Read old pages
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Nandroid restore cannot help solve EFS corruption problem.period
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
there wont be major changes in battery life between 100 and 200.if your UV is unstable try reducing step by step(-25mv)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Ya you are right... Forgot it won't help
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
I posted the app in previous post :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Saw that post :)..... Mobile was showing there are no new posts so said that

Sen't From Lumia 800
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:

guys, the app does not help. i am really really getting nervous now.

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

regarding siyah, i had it. but then, i did a full wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
If you installed siyah then check your internal sd and external for efs backup.Full wipe doesnt format your internal sd.Be cool and search
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
efs backup must have been saved on ur storage(16gb Partition). Check that, may be u still have the backup.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
no. it does not exist

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

i have been an idiot. i formatted my SD card recently. everything has gone with it
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Contact Odia or go to samsung service centre.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
my phone shows "out of service" what do i tell those guys? my warranty is void right?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Lol.... Changed tapatalk sig into Lumia 800 :p
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Use Jig, change everything to stock and say I was charging mobile and from than unable to make calls ... If they ask have you rooted (99. 999% they won't ask) act like what is that done..
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Just flash KL1 and then root

try the repair app

if it doesn't work then reflash KL1 reset counter to 0 by usb jig and go to samsung and behave like a n00b and say it just happened

EDIT: ur sig says u are on ICS so try flashing GB and try the app
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
If they dont then your last option odia.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
never mind what my sig says. i havent changed it in a while.

what is odia?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Flashing KL1 might be a bad idea... That stupid Service Center people will say because of that this problem came you should come to us for FW update etc....
[Galaxy S II General] anujagg:
Is there something similar to Apple iCloud for Android from Google which could be used to backup everything in one click?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Odia is a member who helps people to restore their lost IMEI, for a minimal charge I guess.

And what do you mean by your phone is outta service? Has it crossed one year? I don't think so, so you should get yours repaired. My friend had exactly the same situation, got repaired in two days.

BTW- Wasn't it you who was talking about lost IMEI few days back? Why didn't you take a backup that time then? :confused:

I've a query, call it stupid but I don't understand!

I lost my folders which were there before servicing, all the pics, files, folders and etc etc which is now lost and didn't get restore by Nandroid, it restored the system data's but not those things! I don't have a SD card installed, so all I have is in the phone memory, I mean the 16 GB one. Can you guys tell me about it? Where are my stuffs located actually? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
this is the first time such a thing has happened to me. my phone has not crossed 1 year. but it shows out of service in the "about" section
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
Hey doc, can you pm me the download link, I tried few sites as per the name mentioned above, but was not able to get the correct link. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
That's maybe your IMEI is corrupted or something, it is definitely under warranty.

I really having a sad feeling about you, it was actually you and some of my friend for whom I got scared and backed up mine, but you didn't do it.

Anyway, nothing to worry about, your phone is still under warranty. But you know what should be the first thing you need to do after you get it back ;) (only if you have plan to use this device for some more time of course)
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
From 16 GB

Data partition-2gb

system-1 gb?

more 2-3 partitions-some space

And one sd card partition which is ur internal sd card

CWM recovery doesn't backup internal sdcard so if its wiped then its wiped
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
CWM backup or a Nandroid backup actually makes an image of your Android OS, including system files and user data. Now this user data is stuff like your apps, wi-fi access points, email accounts etc. Stuff you've stored for the Android OS to use. CWM backup does NOT backup data from the /sdcard location.

Now, your images, movies, songs etc are stored in your internal SD card which is mounted at the /sdcard point. When you connect your phone to the PC, thats the stuff you see. So whats happened is, they've erased all your sdcard data. (If you used root explorer this is easy enough to understand by just looking)

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] rahulcool:
hello there,

this same thing happened with me before a week and i got it fixed !

1st letme ensure if your problem is same, press*#06# and check your imei number,

i think its changed to some fake imei now, check it and tell me what's wriiten there :)

don't worry, its not a big problem/ i have many ways to solve it :cool:

Hardware development & its miniaturization process is running like a Cheetah.

[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
This EFS thing is scary. I've backed up my EFS partition using hellkats tool and kept copies anywhere i can think of.

Is it necessary to make a backup using adb as well?
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
Eldar Murtazins predictions are quite accurate most of the time. I remember him predicting the Nokia and Windows Phone agreement.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
AFAIK. Its enough! No need with adb.

Wtf

Wtf deleted the post cause no one bothering to answer it....
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Nah, not yet it seems. If one checks for software update, it still does not connect or gives server error.

---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

I still get connection failed.

Edit: BTW, the new system power setting on stock KL1 is great. It really helps battery life tremendously. Yes, the phone is not very smooth as it seems to throttle the CPU/GPU, but for normal daily use, the slight speed / smooth loss is nothing much and it seems to help extend battery life a lot. I can now last for nearly 3 days with a bit of normal everything as against 1.5-2 days earlier. This is much better than old Nokia/symbian, even when doing quite a bit more.

Good news at the right time. Just broke my SGSII beyond repair. Left it in charge during the night as i usually do and went to sleep.

Woke up this morning to find it super hot. I could bake eggs on it. It was that hot. Quick run to local service center and a few minutes later, the bad news. Literally everything inside got fried.

So long guys. Enjoy your SGSII.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh wait before bye! I too charge my GS2 over night every night. Now that's a bad idea? I thought GS2 can switch off the battery charge input when it reached 100%? And you can fix your GS2 with warranty now?
[Galaxy S II General] :
It should and it didn't for some reason.

Local guy says almost everything is burnt. He is not very sure about warranty.

I will get it tested in Bangalore when i go there next month.
