For the red part: You can drag the little box where you dropped the apps into to the applications screen.

No problem :) It's a bit less clumsy than using a 3rd party app.

Ah, that's more intuitive. Thanks for the hint.

More members have this? and someone know how to eleminate this?

Did you use the FlashTool or OTA or update ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animboo:
I've encountered this said problem about 3 times now..Updated using flashtool. It usually happens when my phone is in my pocket. Might be about the battery and the pin thing, trying out jlmcr87 solution in his thread, hope it works.

I use flashtool because of unlocked bootloader

sorry but what's "the pin thing" ??

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ffocus2008:
Hello. I tried quite a few different custom ROM's (Tiramisu Ultra 5.4 right now) and NOT ONE of them displays SGS2 weather widget as "advertised". It should be 4x1, or 4x2, but instead is 2x1. I followed every guideline by the book, so i'm pretty sure that is not my mistake. So, to make it short, all i want is that widget BIG. Can anyone tell me if they "lie" in those screenshots? or point me in the right direction...

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ducutu:
Only in TW4 launcher you can make it 4x1 or 4x2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ffocus2008:
Of course. I know that TW4 is required, those custom ROM's are on TW4. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
The trick to resizing the widget is to click and hold it (as u usually do to position a widget), wait until the homescreen zooms out fully (takes a second or whatever, but u need to wait), and then let go. Do not move your finger when you hold, keep it stationary. Now you can drag the bottom left corner of the widget to resize it ;)

Don't blame you for not knowing this, it seems like not many people know :confused: I had to figure it out myself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JackCat:
weather widget

need tw4 change 4x2 / 4x1 / 2x2

hi guys

i was trying to find battery chargers for the i9100

and i came across these

*im not looking for a "portable charger"

charger

looks similar to this

XDA

do u guys think its safe to charge it externally ?

i never came across these before
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
I just use the genuine Samsung one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] qwerty warrior:
ohh

thanks for bringing that to my attention

ok ill buy that then
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AnDruid:
Pardon my ignorance, but where did you get the genuine one from? Google did not help and showed me the same kind of stuff as the Ebay link in OP.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] qwerty warrior:
accessories

its on the bottom

but i coudnt find it any where on the web

im sure they will show up at the first of july

u can go check at ur local samsung retailer
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
I got mine from Export Prive. They get their stuff from Korea, so they are quicker than the other eBay sellers. I even got the spare battery from the Korean market SGS II as in the photo. Note that you can just make out the words "Near Field Communication" on the battery. haha.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AnDruid:
Thanks for telling about exportprive.com . It looks pretty good. Lots of stuff for the phone over there.

edit: finally found the charger and battery both on their website.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] qwerty warrior:
i noticed the manufacturer is Anymode not samsung so this isnt made by samsung but probably is the same manufacturer
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
Would my old Blackberry charger still work? Here is a picture of the two chargers (one samsung the other one blackberry)

I don't see any differences. They're both microusb. They have the same specifications as far as I could tell.

Can I use this old blackberry charger, too? (it has a much longer cord hehe)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jackhol:
i would say so as the output is the same. i used the htc sensation one and the samsung jet charger without any problems. as long as the output is the same
[Galaxy S II Accessories] machatta:
I got one of those for my SGS (same charger, different pins). Been using it for about 8 months. Works fine. Batteries not the best but not exactly expensive.

My daughter burned through one of them in 50 minutes in the car :D, but as a spare for using the phone only, fine for 8/10 hours moderate use.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AnDruid:
Well, Anymode seems to be the battery and other accessories supplier for Samsung, if you look at their LinkedIn page.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] sbcdk:
I got one of those external black battery chargers from eBay yesterday. It came with two 1800mAh batteried (1800? yeah right :) ).

The charger is extremely slow! Yesterday I discharged the original battery completely and today I put it in the charger. It's been 390 minutes and it is still charging. Yes, that is 6,5 hours and not done yet! :)

Nice to have an external charger, but this is rediculous.

How long does the original Samsung charger take to go from 0 -> 100% charge?

UPDATE:

Right... 7,5 hour to charge the original battery. That's 450 minutes with an average charge of 220mAh. Most likely the slowest charging I have seen in all my years of using mobile phones.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
When plugged to the Samsung power adapter, it takes 3 hours 20 minutes average for me. When I use the Samsung external battery charger, it takes slightly shorter, I think 3 hours. It is probably because the battery is not being used to power the phone as is the case with the AC power adapter.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sbcdk:
Thanks. Yes, that sounds reasonable. So around 650-700mAh on the original standalone charger, just like the internal. Better than my eBay piece of... you know what ;-)

I was using 'MIUI Xperia by TripNaVeR v1.4.0

i decided to uninstall it because i couldn't send messages or call so then i went on xrecovery mode and did a full wipe.

Partition Tools => Format /system

Partition Tools => Format /data

Partition Tools => Format cache

Advanced Options => Wipe Delvik Cache

Advanced Options => Wipe Battery Stats

when it told me to reboot, i rebooted and then the logo got stuck.

I tried plugging my xperia x10 in the usb slots then went in Sony Ericsson PC Companion and it says that my phone isn't connected. I searched to my fullest but unfortunately, i couldn't find a solution how to fix it. for the past 2 weeks it didn't work and mum and pups couldn't do anything about it.

Sorry, but i'm just... frustrated. please please please help me.. i beg you. Well, not just me but other people that are having this problem too..

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stanley Richards:
Couldn't you just use SEUS
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
WHY... use a custom ROM, if you don't know how to handle it.. Of course it got stuck at the logo.. you format /system. There is not much more your phone could had done.

If you format everything, make sure to at least install another ROM in xrecovery, before you reboot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lylyhoanggg:
I read the steps but when it says 'connect in usb slot', it wont work because when i plug my phone in my computer, it says that it isnt connected.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
You need to connect it in Flash Mode, not just attach the cord.

Press and hold the back button (that's the one on the right)

and while pressing, insert the cord in the USB slot (assuming of course the usb cable is already connected on your PC).

A green light will flash steadily and the procedure should go on from there.

Ah! After you see that light, you can let go of the button!

FYI, the reason all this happened is because you formatted /system partition.

Practically, the phone is not stuck. There's just no firmware on it to load.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denenatse:

Hi every one

the best way to overcome this problem is to download Sony Ericsson Update Service (sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com) and take your phone back to it's primary status.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alainwolf:
I had this issue..

Where my X10 starts automatically(even after pulling out the battery and putting it back again) and get's stuck at the SE log, and you won't be able to go to Flashmode to use Flashtool.

Simply, follow the instrcutions below:

1. Take out the battery.

2. Connect the usb cable to your computer.

3. While holding the back button, put the battery back.

4. You are in flashmode again, Green LED should be on.

5. Done!.

You soft bricked your phone, so follow these steps

1) Copy all important files from your MMC are copied onto your laptop (Music, snaps etc)

2) Now format your MMC (external SD card) and wipe everything clean (system cache,data,Delvik Cache) from your phone using CWM

3) Copy required ROM onto your MMC.

4) Flash the kernel and WiFi module (some WiFi modules can be flashed via CWM)

5) I usually flash WiFi module after flashing my ROM (flash WiFi module only if its required)

6) Install ROM and reboot

7) Good to go

Hopefully this helps

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] andrew.mazlim:
Hello.

I'm a "vet" WinMo user - especially with Omnia i900.

I also made this "Ultimate-Total" theme fro Omnia (S2U2, Manila, etc) in Modaco.com, a quite popular one.

Anyways... I bought now a HD2 Leo. I found pretty soon, that it's NOT the same (easy) way to edit the Manila (Sense 2.5 in Leo).

In Omnia, I just opened the Windows directory, copied all the .png files in a temp folder, edited them and re-copy them back. (Or even better, I was extporting the Manila theme with the M2DC app in my PC, opened the file with WinRar, edited them, imported them back to the Manila file and copied back to Omnia...

In Leo, it's NOT THAT easy, at all!!!... Anyways, after so many months, I found many-many things already done (in cabs) and I don't have to worry much... But, I want to edit/modify all the Slider icons, the Slider sellection icon and the tab's large icons (when you're changing tabs, the large one in the middle of the screen)...

Can you people, please, please tell me, how can I do that? Can you write me down the proccess? What progs/apps I need? What's all these icons' dimensions?

Reply me back, m8s.

P.S.: I'm using rom with Co0kie inside. So, there is an EXTENDED (large) Home screen - with 2 additional screens (left-right). The WALLPAPERS MUST be larger than the original/usual one, then - and how much (dimensions)?

What would be this larger/wide wallpaper's size?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
Skinning Sense/Manila files is not really that complicated as it looks at first.

They actually come with their own format, but at xda you´ll find easy-to-use conversion tools. Look for "m9editor" or "CFC GUI+".

Especially with the second one, you´ll find out how "easy" it is to find the graphics and their names.

An easy way to find out what files you need to change is to download the thing you want to change, check the files, and then start your work - modding in the png-capable image editor you prefer, convert the work to Manila/Sense files.

That´s about it.

EDIT: Just forgot about the wide wallpapers: Panorama is 1440x800 (3 times the normal one), in CHT 1.8.5 it was 960x800.

Hey guys,

I have played around with a few different roms for my SGS2 and was wondering which one has the best battery life in your experience?

[Galaxy S II General] droidluck:
I am using Litening rom and my phone isn't reaching 2 days of battery life like some people do with this rom
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
That's an almost impossible question to answer as there are so many different factors involved which can affect battery life both on a custom rom and a stock one for example.

signal strength

push

gaming

screen brightness

Everyone will have a different experience and your best bet is to try different rom's and choose the one which suits you as a rom which is great for them may not be great for you.
[Galaxy S II General] (•.•):
If some rom creator would make make a black-red theme for his mod it would be probatly the best mod... Of course with all other goodies and tweaks.

Black-red theme because it would drain the lowest energy from the battary in the standart screen mode, but since we all use mostly different apps with different colors it will vary anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
To be fair, although it is purely anecdotal, people who have tried different ROMS while going through the sameness of their daily lives should be able to make a relatively valid comparison of battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] Kendoji:
All the custom ROMs out at the moment are extremely close to stock, so I doubt there's much difference.
[Galaxy S II General] sia1996:
2 days?? I'm gald to reach one day.. I just flashed lite'ning V 1.3. Hope to reach one day without any problems..

[Galaxy S II General] ruskprick:

[Galaxy S II General] daveok:
That would be funny if a lot of the battery problems are actually because we keep thinking it is flat when it isn't - it is just being mis-reported. Kind of iphone batterygate in reverse.

I had a lock up on my device the other night but didn't realise until the following morning when I found the device unresponsive and stuck on my last screen. Although I had to pull the battery to regain control, the screen had stayed on all night because of the freeze and the battery meter graph was red for about 7 hours. The screen was still on and bright before I pulled the battery though.

Think I will also try ignoring the meter today.

Hi,

I have a really weird problem with my wildfire.

The mic is kinda broken on my phone so when people ring me they cannot hear me and I cannot record sound when using the sound recording app.

I thought this was a hardware fault, so I rang Virgin (my mum got her phone from there and its the same one) to get it replaced.

However, when I stuck my mums sim in it, and they did a factory reset, then a test call and it worked fine. When I did test calls to my family using my mums sim it worked fine, but then as soon as I put my t-mobile sim back in it, the mic stops working again.

Does anyone have a clue whats going on with my phone?

Thanx

Aaron
[Wildfire General] bx19:
So u must be thinking that the t-mobile sim is giving the problem related to mic.

Anyway try this. Connect the wildfire headset and check the mic status of headset with t-mobile and other sim's. If u can have a working headset mic with t-mobile sim , then that might not be related to sim.
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Very strange problem indeed. Do you have an idea what happens if you put your sim in, lets say, your mum phones? If the problem is SIM related, you should be able to repeat it in her phone, especialy since it's the same one.

Erwin
[Wildfire General] Epic-Emodude:
I have tried the headset mic and it works.

The sim works fine in my mums phone.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
One more thing for u.

Go to market and download "Z-Device Test". It shows the functioning of all hardware. May be it will help u to diagnose if it is hardware issue.

clockwork mod.:D

if i want ot recover i neaver wipe davlik or any cache :D

just restore backup....so its gud if we forget 2 do :D

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Different recoveries cater to different needs. If you want good ext4 support and rom manager integration then use cwm. If you don't care for either of these points(or feel that rom manager is risky) then use amonRa. But keep in mind some roms don't support some recoveries. And for that matter switching between recoveries is a piece of cake thanks to ciaox's flashable zips.

Hey all,

Try this one. It looks really close, if not the same.

Works for 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3.3

GSM & CDMA

*Known bugs

Some user experience a "double lockscreen" this is being worked on. This bug is on all versions paid or free. Reboots sometimes works, or stop the lockscreen and start it again from in app settings.

works landscape and portrait.

SRRY, forgot to ad the thanks, until reminded. Thanks, SunPengfei

I have found that this version works best in our tabs.

Feel free to update through market, but, again,I found this earlier version works best.

Or get the paid version on the market, although I dont see any difference. (especially if your rom has an adblocker or adfree)
