this was tried but didn't work. Even a new radio package was flashed . Didn't help.

SGS2 running India distribution 2.3.3, unlocked. Not rooted. Stuck in flight mode, becacuse IMEI # cannot be read. Help !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHome:
could it be efs partition corruption?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harleyNoob:
It probably is /efs corruption. How do I recover it ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuttBeefe:
Posting on behalf of my brother..

He to has this problem. Nothing we do fix's this resetting to factory defaults changing sim card formatting memory card..

Since it's done this.. it uses the battery from a full charge to near empty within ~5 hours

Bought 29th Aug 2011

They wont honor the warranty even though it broke down at only 2 months old.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpr007:
Have you gone through Samsung directly? (Register on their website and request a repair).

I had this problem just now. Couldn't get it out of flight mode. Saying no sim etc...

The way I fixed it was to remove the sim and battery, replace them, turn the phone back on, the hold the power button to bring up the power options and press turn off flight mode. It now works again.

Not good that after I googled this problem it seems to be quite common.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TG09:
I have this issue too, bloody annoying. I did a kernal update and I hope that fixes it. But will give your method ago.

I had an interesting problem. My phone sometime stuck on flight mode. I had to restart device 4-5 times to disable flight mode(flight mode menu becomes transparent or untouchable). After a while button becomes enable and phone starts normally. But it's annoying problem.

Now I'm using Lite'ning Rom v1.1 XXLPH. Even in stock LPH,LPB, KK5 2.3.6.... every firmware I had same problems occasionally.

What's the problem? There is nothing wrong with IMEI (but I can't see IMEI in flight mode).

So is there a simple solution for this anoying problem, or it cames back every time ?

With Android 4.0 or 4.1 is the same?

I need to know as I am thinking of buying one that as this problem, at a good price.

Should i buy it?

Have you tried to reflash with kies?

I believe there is a recover option there? Atleast that wont get your waranty voided.

Never actually tried it since i only use heimdall & odin but might be worth a try!

kalpa108: galaxy gt i9003 stuck in flight mode, not reading SIM...and not recognised by recent version of KIES. Factory Reset does not fix this, device is not rooted, yet, but there's always a 1st time! Can this be done w/o any connection? Trying to download old KIES versions too.

Hi

on my HTC desire, I was used to have handcent ; by long pressing the "search" key, a window pop up in order to write a new SMS

Is it possible to have the same behaviour on S II ?

Thanks

David
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Necrobutcher:
Which search key?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] szdavid:
On the hTC desre, there is a magnifying glass button.

Once I installed handcent, a long press on it opens a handcent popup window in order to write a SMS and I would like to have the same feature on my new samsung galaxy s2

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egolfer:
I use Handcent on my SG2 with Launcher Pro. I use this same feature by assigning the "Quick Compose" activity via the launcher pro activities shortcut.

1. You must first enable the quick compose option within Handcent under "Send Message Settings"

2. Then you would select launcher pro shortcut by choosing activities, then scroll to find the specific Handcent activity of "Handcent Quick Compose" near the bottom of the Handcent section

Now you have a shortcut to a new message compose box.

I shortcut it to a swipe gesture right on top of the Handcent icon I have docked in launcher pro.

Works great for me.

Hi, i have one piece desire s with problem...when i switch on the phone, it boots to menu screen but i cannot slide the menu down and phone is stuck...help
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
How do you switch to phone, press button at bottom of the main home screen?

What do you mean boots to menu screen? Which menu screen?
[HTC Desire S] andrew21:
I press the power button on top to switch on the phone and its goes to main screen with slider but problem is slider not responding to touch
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Have you tried powering off the phone? long hold on the Power button, or if still no response then you could try removing the battery.

next option if no success with either of those options is to perform a full reset.

I have a problem with my sensation

when I open the camera I have green lines on the screen and i can't get it out

Did anyone have the same problem?

I tried reset reboot and camera reset nothing worked

I am really worry about that
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
You probably have a faulty unit. Take it back.

Yhhhhaaaaa

okay

i have tried to think what had happend and i deleted the app TalkBox that i have downloaded perviously and now everything is okay

Interesting. I just got a brand new one and it has this same problem!!!!

I'll have to get it swapped then, shame as apart from this, there are no problems
[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
I saw this case yesterday on a demo unit, both cameras had the problem. Had some pictures on the phone - older ones were OK, newer ones were with lines.
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
I had this issue happen to me this weekend. Weird green and red lines. You could even tell in the 2 pictures I took with the camera. Not as prominent as when I took the picture, but I can still see some areas of discoloration

Currently the lines are gone. I haven't installed or uninstalled any apps so I don't think it was anything to do with something that's incompatible.

Not sure if I should get it replaced or not.
[HTC Sensation] 299792458:
I had the problem too...i took pics though and they weren't on the pics after viewing in the gallery. I did a reboot with a battery pull and it went away. Only happened to me once.

Here is a thread of mine with embedded videos: http://androidforums.com/2830694-post1.html
[HTC Sensation] Record1:
Same here. At first green lines did not show on picture, then they did. I was able to reboot the phone by Long pressing the power button and the problem went away. Not only that, but the camera looked so much better. (seemed much clearer.) I also noticed some videos streaming from the web also had green lines. Can't say its related yet.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I just noticed I had this issue today and found this thread. I tried just a shut down and then started the phone again, that did not help. I shut down, pulled the battery, put it back and started up again, problem solved.

Someone else has also made a video:

[YOUTUBE]P7Aaisj754Q[/YOUTUBE]

Since the issue has gone away and seems to be fine now, I'm not going through getting a replacement. If it occurs again, I'll just do a battery pull to fix it again. It seems the fix holds for some time, although I don't know how long.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I called HTC to get a ticket on file. The guy I spoke with said even an HTC employee in his work area had the same issue once. A battery pull fixed it and they have not had the issue since.

They might get back to me for more information, but today I had to give them phone number, e-mail and IMEI.

They said they're investigating.
[HTC Sensation] jurey24:
I had the same issue with mine the day after I got it. I turned off the phone pulled battery held down volume - and power and selected factory reset. Have had no problems since then. Sorry if someone already mentioned this solution but I'm at work and didn't get to read everything every one posted just trying to help
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Your "solution" goes a bit too far. There's no need to do a factory reset and lose all data/settings. Just shut down, pull the battery, put the battery back in, turn it on. Problem solved.
[HTC Sensation] jurey24:
Just pulling the battery didn't work for me so I did the reset. Just trying to help
[HTC Sensation] itsgasm:
I just purchase mine on Sunday from Telstra store $792 outright, working fine Sunday night, then Monday morning started getting corrupted lines on Telstra News and Sports. On Monday afternoon went to use camera out on site, and camera had all green lines on screen, took 3 pics and they have the lines as well.

Tues morning take phone and whole kit back to Telstra store where I purchase less than 48hrs ago. Asking for a replacement, they advised they cannot without sending it to repair to check on water ingress !! WTF ! My new phone has not been anywhere near water. All I asked for is a replacement after parting with almost $800, now Im left to wait for Telstra to send away for 7 business days to then decide if I'm entitled to a replacement ??

It appears from all over the net the current fix is to only remove the battery and re fit . After me removing my sim card and memory card, my green lines had disappeared however the shop employee did get to see the fault.

Dam why should I have to wait ! They have $800 of my money and I don't have what I paid for !

Come on Telstra.

[HTC Sensation] spookiej:
This happened to me. Its just software. Mine did it for a day when I first got it but then disappeared and I haven't seen it happen since.
[HTC Sensation] msavic6:
My friend has the same problem, Except when he restarts the lines go away but they come back after 2 days or so. It's really bothering him. The other thing is he doesn't want to send it to HTC as it will take forever to get back.
[Desire General] heraSK:
i just got response from htc regarding my question will GB update for Desire/Bravo contain Sense 3.0...this is what they sent me:

Thank you for contacting HTC.

In regards to your enquiry, kindly note that the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade has not been released for the Desire phone yet, but it will be relased soon.

kindly note that that the upgrade will include the new HTC Sense 3.0.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Wow! :-) that's really great!
[Desire General] sergmeister:
So they are suggesting that the leaked Rom was a very early test build and not close to final.hmm
[Desire General] :
I highly doubt this.

If it would contain a Sense upgrade, it would be 2.1, but certainly not 3.0

First of all, the hardware of the Desire isnt capable of running Sense 3.0 without a bunch of hacks (see custom roms) and secondly, it would affect sales on their newer devices.

[Desire General] sergmeister:
If you copied and pasted that message from your email then the sender hasn't spelt the second released properly.
[Desire General] sergmeister:
Maybe some bits of sense 3.0 like sense 2.5?
[Desire General] dexter93:
That might be, yes. But I don't think that they will release a full sense 3 version for desire.... Until then we have our devs ;) (*damo* has released a version from the leaked kingdom ruu)

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i think the best you can hope for is the same as the DHD
[Desire General] heraSK:
maybe it'll be sense 3.0, just optimized for desire...
[Desire General] :
I also find this highly unlikely.

Why would HTC want to update what is an end of life device with their latest sense version?

It doesn't make sense (excuse the pun).

From a commercial point of view, if they did that, they would be shooting themselves in the foot, and I don't think they are that stupid. :)
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Imo they would be stupid if they do not provide updates. I will never buy a Samsung smartphone again just because of that...

Apple always provides latest updates for their phones and that is a good thing.
[Desire General] tropical cactus:
HTC is anything but stupid. Look at the way they market discriminate their products, adding and subtracting bits and pieces here and there. What they can't do is stop unofficial development, hence the upcoming invite to developers to contribute to making their products more "desirable".

Here's an idea: why pay for r & d when you can get it for free?
[Desire General] heraSK:
i just got another reply from HTC, it looks like they were to hasty with the first answer:

"In regards to your enquiry before, about the HTC sense version 3.0 with the 2.3 gingerbread update for the HTC Desire phone.

I do apologize for contacting you again, but I have just received an update from HTC, that the Desire phone will receive the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade/update soon. However unfortunately, there is no confirmation yet in regards whether the updated Desire phone will have the new sense version 3.0 or not.

I really do apologize for the inconvinience."

looks like the modders here on XDA will still have something to work on...;) but, fingers crossed....
[Desire General] andQlimax:
I think u will get an other reply that will say "unfortunally htc said the update will have sense 1.9" :D

We can just hope for sense 2.1, we will never get sense 3.0 officially, of course not now already..
[Desire General] Lothaen:
HTC seemed to plainly say awhile back that no phone other than dual cores (being Sensation and Evo 3D) will get sense 3.0 going forward....

So I still think the best you can hope for is 2.1
[Desire General] bartoloandre98:
No we will get sense 2.1for sure cause 2 ppl from Netherlands sent an email to HTC and told them that gb will roll out with 2.1
[Desire General] dexter93:
I thought that kingdom was single core.. am I right?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] andQlimax:
The response depends from the customer care operator..But anyway they don't know the response..Htc didn't provided details on that..

Only the developers/management team that are working on the update know the true and know when it will come out
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I suppose you can say the Flyer is single core too - so who knows...

a quick google said that htc took the dual core back and decided it'd be done on a device-by-device basis

-Uninstall Kies and drivers

-run CCleaner or Glary utilities

-run "pnputils -e" and list ALL where the provider is samsung

-Backup (if needed) and hard reset the SGS

-Reinstall kies (latest version on website)

-run it once and let it update (if needed) with admin rights

-one updated, close kies and all dormant application (icons where the hour is)

-plug in SGS on DOWNLOAD MODE and let windows detect and install drivers while in debug mode

-if all is right, start Odin and see if it is recognised

Hey guys,

so here is may shameless Youtube promo thread. Yes I am a Newb, but have been flashing Roms for about a year now. I am starting this Youtube channel where I'm going to be doing brief reviews of the latest Roms. I'm going to try and make them as informative as possible and really want some feed back on how I can improve them. Not sure if this is considered promoting, but I'd like to get something going where people an see what they are getting on their HTC Evo before they flash it. I'm just starting out so forgive the quality of the video, but if all goes well, I plan to upgrade my cam and review apps as well as roms. Hope I don't get **** for this, but I really hope you guys check it out. The Youtube channel is youtube.com / tunainthebrine

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xaisomboun:
Is there anything like that out there? I'm sure a lot of people would love this including myself and it would mean so much in to confusing family and friends about my phone :)
[Thunderbolt General] crpalmer:
I experience the same problem. My guess is that the radio firmware gets into a bad state when you are in an area with bad coverage.

I have been in a state where disabling data didn't stp the battery drain, only entering airplane mode would stop it.
[Thunderbolt General] OdinGuru:
I originally thought the same thing about the issue starting while in poor coverage, but since I have seen it occur multiple times in a good coverage area I began to doubt that was the case. The extra power consumption I usually get while in poor coverage is less in magnitude, and varies much more, and goes away when I have good coverage again. This issue feels distinctly different to me.

When you say disabling data didn't stop the drain you experienced, do you mean turning off Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks? I haven't tried playing with that option. I'll give it a try next time I see the issue too.

You said entering airplane mode would stop it. Did you have the same experience that when you turned airplane mode off that the drain started back up again until you restarted?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] agdaniels:
Excellent post, I would venture a guess that your background is in one the sciences.

One thing I noticed you didn't try was connecting through wifi. I believe this will render the 4g radio on but not in use. If the issue persists, it could help narrow down the cause.

As far as attempting to fix it, you can factory reset it or go to verizon for a replacement.. but that doesn't do much for others with this problem.
[Thunderbolt General] cowisland:
I have been having the same issue, both on stock and BAMF 1.6. Thanks for looking so thoroughly at this problem. It appears not everyone is affected. Can someone confirm? If so, exchanging the could be the solution.
[Thunderbolt General] cuguy:
To test your hypothesis, I'd recommend turning off LTE somehow. My suggestion for non-rooted phone:

Dial ##778#

Chose edit mode, password: 000000

You should be able to turn off LTE in Modem Settings->Preferred Mode

Please let us know your finding.
[Thunderbolt General] zilla.:
Nice work on the research!

The scenario you described happened to me yesterday.

I was in a building where I didn't get any reception at all. I noticed the phone started to warm up. By the time I got outside and the phone re-established a connection with the 4g network, it was extremely warm and the phone was at 7% life begging to be charged.

This has happened to me on two other occasions but I don't recall being in an area of zero to poor reception.

My bolt is also rooted running the BAMF Remix 1.6.
[Thunderbolt General] OdinGuru:
Thank you. Your guess is spot on; I did my Ph. D. in computer science.

I have not tried switching to WiFi. Next time I see the issue I will put that to the test. I find I haven't been using WiFi much with this phone since I have lower standby power consumption in 3G mode when I don't need the speed. When I do want more speed, I find here in NYC 4G LTE is actually significantly faster than either my home or work Internet connection (Cable and DSL respectively) (Crazy!). Also, here in NYC the 2.4 GHz band is VERY crowded so WiFi can slow down at times even on a good wired Internet connection. I wish this phone was 5 GHz WiFi capable to help avoid this particular issue.

My intuition is that this is a radio firmware issue so I have my doubts that a factory reset or even a replacement would fix anything. Factory reset would help if there were misbehaving apps or screwed up settings on my phone, but this seems unlikely. I'll probably need to root my phone so I can back it up before I try a factory reset. A replacement would only help if there was a hardware fault. Part of the purpose of this thread is to help gauge if many other people have this problem. The more that do, the less likely it is an abnormal HW fault with only my phone, and more likely a bug or other HW errata issue that hasn't been worked around correctly.

I think it is still too early in the game to make the call that it is not fixable in FW. I was aware that this LTE network/chipset is quite new and this phone was likely to have some rough spots at the start. Verizon/HTC/Qualcomm have only made one OTA release so far, and even that release has major bugs that were not present in the original stock FW (e.g. the frequent spontaneous rebooting when in 3G mode). Forums like this seem like great places for us users to publicly characterize issues we encounter. I hope it helps the engineers involved in making fixes and that we get updates not too far down the line.
