LOST.DIR

Ok I read about this in a couple of places but I can't find a proper answer. The LOST.DIR folder periodically fills up with weird numbered files. I heard these are damaged files that are caused by improper mount/dismounting of the sd. I am always careful about dismounted my phone from the computer before pressing the disconnect button on the phone. Why and still getting these damaged files? Can someone help me with this issue!

CheckROM v4:

--------------

Flashed and using for the last few hours. everything seems fine! Just wanted to know who here uses ICS domination 1.5? Could please help me with the flashing process. I currently GoLauncher EX, can I continue to do so after flashing the ICS theme or does it defeat the purpose. I love the GoLauncher gestures and all my folders are set, which is why im so attached to it! :P

But how do I go about flashing ICS dom theme? I read that if you're on any other theme then you'll get bootloops if u flash ICS over it with CWM!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Guys had my funniest night ever, received a call from customer care with the reference to the mail I have sent.

New defenition learnt

1. Samsung kies is a data transfer software and should not be used for updating firmware.

2. Service center only should flash updates and not us.

3. Firmware update is not at all an issue.

4. We will get 2.3.4 when Samsung releases it world wide.

Dumbest customer care Guy I have ever talked. He can't even pronounce 2.3.4. Got left and right from me nicely, he simply started to Blabber.

Wasted my useful time, ****! !!! Samsung India will never develop as long as these jer*s work for them.

Guys i need help,

I purchased SGP Argos Vintage Brown Caseon - 19th july on ebay from sgstore seller.

http://cgi.ebay.com/SGP-Samsung-Gal...ccessories&hash=item3f0bb0b3ab#ht_4522wt_1165

There has been no progress of the tracing number they gave me for USPS.

What should i do, also i read somewhere that these items lie with customs and then i have to goto customs and pay and then get my item released.

Please give me ur guidance guys. what do i do??
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I think he is a good seller 100% Positive Seller and Top rated Seller...I am not sure about customs.When they gave you tracing number?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
That's SGP Store man, not a particular seller, so no worry. Even my Scratchgard takes 8-9 days to ship from India to India, so you have to wait. Check the Tracking No. in USPS website frequently.

Got the same case free with my s2 dint like it much

felt very hard and a bit bulky

are all the cases such thick and hard

first time user so not much idea

would appreciate ur help
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I'd like to sell my GS II case which came in the box, it's pretty useless to me, how much can I expect for it?
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Any case would make the s2 feel bulkier - any case that offers protection on all sides that is. I have tried 3-4 different cases and they all make the phone feel bulkier.

I have dropped the phone 3 times till now, and each time it was in a case. So I am trying out the theory that the phone only falls when in the case :p Working fine as of now. No case can make the phone look better, so naked is the way to go for me :)

Also, the Molife case feels much better if you only put on only the back cover - protects the camera, protects the corners (almost fully) and the screen does not touch a flat surface in case you put it upside down.
[Galaxy S II General] rishap.shah:
Is there any protection available for the screen other than the scratch guard

Does anybody have any idea of SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Screen Protector Glas Series

also i read somewhere that you wax the scratch guard why is it so and how do u do it.
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
This is gorilla glass screen - the kind of damage required to put a scratch on it would probably be the same with or without a scratch-guard.

That said, here is a cheap screen-guard already posted before on this thread with good reviews (I haven't used it though). You might want to order a couple of these just in case the first attempt to put it on doesn't work out and in my experience, these things generally last 6 months or so.

ithehappy & Raviteja_HYD - Thanks guys,

I checked the shipping info answer from sgpstore and found this answer,phew some relief for now...

Why the USPS tracking page only shows acceptance record?

sgpstore1 : USPS First class & Priority mail only show acceptance record as a proof of shipment, but no further tracking is provided. That is why you see that. Your shipment is on its way, and you should receive it shortly. If you dont't receive it by 4th weekend after shipping date, please contact me. I will take care of your problem.

That was exaclty my concern, othere pls check this info if u guys are ordering via USPS.

They are lot of Custom ROM's available in Dev Thread..

But the thing is as long as ur enjoying with Stock then no need to go for Custom ROM's..

but ofcourse u can root ur Phone for apps like Titanium Backup etc..

But before flashing Custom ROM make Sure which Stock u running like KF1,2,3,4 FOR 2.3.3 and KG1,2,3 for 2.3.4..

Latest Dev is going on KG2,3..

i feel Cognition_S2-130,CriskeloRomGSGII.v5 & Litepro v4.1..

But before flashing those u need to flash Stovk KG1,2,3 ROM's and then upgrade to custom ROM's.

All the above Dev's clearly Mentioned on their threads abt flashing and every thing..

Enjoy Mate..

bhai log,,,,,madad karo...phone stuck while rooting

hi all ia have this galaxy s2 gt white 1900 g indian version ..

i read this article to easily root i follwed it to the t below steps..my version is 2.3.3 XWKH8(or was it xwkdd..forgot..hell)

"Tools Needed:

ODIN Downloader (Download it from here)

USB Data Cable

XWKDD Kernel (Don’t extract it after download, it will use in the Odin process)

Download SuperOneClick

Download Samsung’s KIES 2.0 (Download links: Link1 , Link2 )

And Ofcourse, A Personal Computer(PC) or Laptop.

Procedure:

Step one: First of all make sure that you have download and install all the needed software. Then, Put device in USB debugging mode: Settings ->Applications -> Development -> USB debugging.

Step Two: Reboot your device in the download session mode. To get enter in the download mode of Samsung Galaxy S2, switched off the device and turn it on again by holding Volumedown button + Home button and Power button simultaneously. You will surely reach to the download mode. You can get yourself confirm by identifying same as below mention picture as on your phone screen.

Step Three: Open the ODIN Downloader which you had downloaded and installed it on your pc.

Step Four: Now, with the help of USB Cable connect the device to the computer while keeping the Odin open then wait for the few seconds then odin notified you that the device is connected to the computer. Select the checkboxes next to “Auto reboot” and “F. Reset Time” and kept default else options. After all this, press “PDA” Button and select the XWKDD_insecure.tar file which you have downloaded on your pc before.

Now Press “Start” button, after this pressing the start button ODIN will flash the kernel and after flashing it phone will reboot."

>>> however the phone is not booting...it was getting stuck in samsung logo with yellow traingle below...then i tried flashing firmware via odin...sumthing happened and now it boots in a phone and computer logo...so finally have i bricked it?

pls help
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
^I think you have bricked it. I9100 Kernels/ROMs/Firmwares etc WILL NOT work on I9100G. I am a noob in rooting, wait for someone to tell what to do when stuck in boot loop.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You can enter into Download mode? If yes than flash a I9100G FW

I had some scrolling problems with checkrom 3 and now with checkrom 4 its back to perfect, and also checkrom is not battery hungry as it removes power hungry samsung apps.

After DLEV2 rom, this one is giving me nice battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Um well I would love to give one.. But this one is my first custom ROM installation and I'm yet to figure out where all the changes I need to look into :p Hehe..

BTW guys its normal for the booting of device to take longer than stock ROM? Stock ROM used to boot as soon as that S was drew and the lights matched up right in middle of S, but in CheckROM it will take 5 or more seconds..
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
Looks like u have a soft brick. Use a use jig to get it into download mode and then flash a I9100G firmware.

U can even try to get to download mode without a jig i suppose. Remove the battery, connect to pc via usb and then insert the battery. Worked with the I9000.

Good luck.

alarm manager

as i read in many posts about alarm manager.. actually it's nt a app..it's a service called by many applications..any application can call alarm for specific funcitons to deliver notifications or reminders or do a refresh.. check these things?

1. Do you have auto sync on on any account?

2. Do you have any exchange or imap account in stock email app?

3. Facebook/twitter sync duration?

Did you heard better battery stats app? try it it can pin point the app which is waking up ur device frequently..
