[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-c-0:
What about USB extensions? Do you use this @ your PC? How many other USB Devices are connected to your PC? Maybe your phone doesnt get enough voltage via USB. I know both problems from my personal experience.

So first, if you use extension cable, remove it and connect your micro USB cable directly to the board.

Second, try to remove 1 or 2 other devices plugged in via USB (scanner, printer, cardreader[!], webcam, for testing purposes even mouse or keyboard)

Maybe this fixes your issues.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traspler:
No extension cable

I doubt the power being the problem as my Galaxy S II had no issue and as stated above I could kind of get it to work but not as it should have worked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-c-0:
You DOUBT the power beeing the problem, or you tried and can EXCLUDE this possibility?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traspler:
Considering what I've already tried (as detailed in previous posts) I think I can exclude the power being the issue.

I've also synced and charged an SGS2, an iPod touch and an iPad from the same plug without any issues.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traspler:
I tried so many things in the device manager... nothing worked...

Once I could get it to mount correctly but only until I unmounted once, after that it would go right back to my problem.

I really have no clue on how I could get this to work again :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traspler:
I give up... I even restored Windows 7 to a previous state and it did not help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traspler:
Made some progress and can reproducably access the SD card but sadly only until I unmount and afterwards I have to run through the procedure again to get access:

I had an USB Harddrive formatted as NTFS through NTFS-3G on my mac and my Windows 7 PC also wanted to format it when I plugged it in and it showed up as RAW in Computer Management. I then remembered chkdsk :D did a chkdsk I: /f and it worked again even after a clean eject and remount.

I then tried this on my Desire as the symptoms seemed the same or at least related. Here is my console output:

After this, Windows showed that it mounted DESIRE correctly and asked me what I'd like to do with it and I could browse the card and do whatever I wanted.

But this isn't ideal behaviour and I'd love it if my Desire would just show up as normal and work normally when I connect it to my PC. Does this give a clue on where the problem might be?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franckleroy:
Hello

I had a simular problem

I could mount the sd on my desktop but not on my laptop.

So apparently it was not a cable problem...

But finnally I use the original cable and now it mounts on both computer.

Hope this helps

Franck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traspler:
I used the original cable.
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
So yeah.. seems like the iPhone 5 wont be announced until September.. which means SGSII will be safe for another few months.

I'm just joking.. or am i?

Iv just had so many problems with the SGSII... I just dont know what phone to get right now.. since the SII is the best out. I dont want to buy it again.

Iv never owned an apple product before.. but my brother has owned lots..

Wish they announced it so i could compare the two and see which one is the best

---- IF it is the SII then i might have to go back to it >.>... so i hope they do something good with the iphone

Fanboys gtfo thanks. :)
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
No phone is perfect but remember when you buy an iphone no flash, no flash, no flash...it's not that it's not possible to run run but apple have decided for you the user experience it just not good enough, you can't even try it for yourself and remove if you don't like it or keep it even if a half baked flash is good enough for you, nope apple have made the choice for you: no flash!
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Expect to wait a while longer than september. The iphone 4 plus will be coming first with some minor improvements but no major changes.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
And you know it's not only that I dislike the apple mentality of them making the (right) choices for me I also despise apple as a company, I am a free market capitalist at heart and very seldom find companies evil but apple is one such rare company:

the way they abuse patents and trademarks (ie. steal ideas from small companies) and patent/trademark them and then sue the inventing company is truly evil.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
I'm sick of my iPhone 4. I've been a hardcore blackberry user for years, and yes, while the experience wasn't as nice, it was A LOT more open than iOS. iOS has some good ideas, unifying a single format / layout, and all its apps follow the same guidelines, which makes it a good phone for people that know NOTHING about phones! A friend of mine DECIDES to pay THAT Much more for an iMac just because "it works right away, I don't need to configure anything" and Apple products are basically that... "It works without having to do anything" I personally jailbroke mine, and I still can't stand it. Apps apps apps apps! No personalization past ordering up the apps, and 2 pictures (lock screen and behind the apps).

I think Android will be safe for a very long time. They run on a different market. Not to mention, Apple sells things WAY over priced. The iPhone 4 16 gigs cost me the same RIGHT NOW as my SGSII (which should be here at ANYYYYY moment! Come on vodafone! It was shipped! GET TO MY DOOR!)

Apple makes good products for a good demographic, but you also need to understand that the majority of the population doesn't want to configure, or decide. The simpler the better. My BEST FRIEND of 15 years now has a blackberry and an iphone, still, she only texts and uses facebook. Hmmm....

Regardless, you shouldn't see it as "the SGSII is in danger or safe" as it's the family of Android phones. You don't see people saying "Oh no! The iPhone 3G is in danger! But there are 2 other models out! BUT POOR 3G!" No, who cares! more choices = better, for us!

Smartphones BEFORE the iPhone were pretty much all resistive screens, tiny ones, big and bulky. The iPhone has helped us out. The more Apple "revolutionizes" (AKA. taking something that has been there for years, making it pretty, and calling it new) the better for us!

Night :D
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Really the first multitouch capacitive touchscreen build in 1972! :eek: when apple introduced it, they meant they dug it up from a grave and reanimated it!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
The only thing i dislike about andriod phones are that there are so many with lots of different specs.. I cant just download any app and use it right away. As for iOS there is only one phone each year that uses it.. which makes it more easy to download any app you want and use it right away.

I hate downloading apps just to find out that it crashes, lags or doesnt even start up.

I like andriod OS better then iOS.. but like i said.. there are too many phones using the andriod OS.

As for Macs.. yeah.. i think they are worthless. You pay so much more money for something that is less powerful than a custom built PC.

I built my PC a few months back and i also got a 27" 2560x1440 monitor (to match up with the iMac 27" screen)

It cost like £100 more for my PC but its 100times more powerful than any iMac.

Also.. the reason why the iPhone4 is still the same price is cause apple only lowers it once a new iphone comes out. They know that people will still forke out that much cash for an iphone.. unlike samsung nokia htc etc.. they always lower the price of their phones cause they just bring out so many per year that they have to.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1234:
I really don't think iphone5 would've affected SGS2 sales that much. I'm preety sure I5 will be a good phone but not better than SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] .:Ali:.:
I think Samsung s2 better than any iPhone

Br,
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
your right.. its better than any iphone.. out right now... unless you can tell the future :)
[Galaxy S II General] zoobzone:
My personal uneducated guess would be that the iPhone 5 will be a speed bumped iPhone 4 shipped along with iOS 5.

Which in the end, still doesn't make it better than the Galaxy S2 right now.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Do you really think people cross-shop iOS and Android? Apple people follow their leaders cult-like and keep re-purchasing Apple products. For people that want easy and consistent, nothing beats an iPhone. But those same two points, especially the second one, is what make people turn away. I for one can't stand the banal conformity of Apple products and can't see myself becoming one of the Borg. To test the theory, go to an iPhone forum and post a question about iOS vs. Android. They'll skin you alive. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] phonex1:
If you are okay with a smaller screen, having to manage music,photos,video library via iTunes (having a mac helps :P) then even an iPhone 4 is a nice choice.

It has unrivaled battery life, does everything its supposed to do pretty good, has enough apps to keep you busy (if you are a heavy apps user that is) etc.

Me, I couldn't get used to a 3.5 screen after using a captivate for a week, the itunes is horrible on my windows machine, drag and drop ain't bad and the retina hype is not enough to match the super amoled awesomeness....

Its all preference, IMO try your options if you can, and settle for what is good for you. I am here today because flashing my captivate and the screen plus music playback is awesome, and battery life after modded is almost on par with iPhone 4. So all good for me.

What you like may be hated or laughed at by another, and that's life.
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
i wouldnt be able to live with a 3.5" screen. There have been rumors that the new iphone will have atleast 4" screen.. if not then i wont even think about buying it.
[Galaxy S II General] yyhd:
My opinion: I don't think Apple will be releasing a mind-blowing, bar-setting iPhone 5 this year.

Perhaps next year, iPhone 6 will be.
[Galaxy S II General] Noam23:
Please don't forget that the iPhone is a device mainly targeted for the women crowd (can't remember where I read that over 70% of iPhone users are women). As such, it can't get bigger than 3.5" screen, since their small hands couldn't handle it.
[Galaxy S II General] ricky1989:
Hmm...Atrix 4G spots a 4" screen but the phone itself is about the same size as the iphone :p
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
i think the OP has made a decision that he should buy IPhone simply because he is fed up with one or two annoying features of SGS2.... is that true my friend ???

just because of 1 or 2 features which u might like it better on iphone, dont make ur decision of buying an iphone 5.... because no matter what, SGS2 can beat the iphone 5 right out of the box... in addition to that, so many customizations r coming including the CM7... which is great... u never feel the same as before...

so be patient & wait for some more time... then u give us ur openion... which inturn will be favouring SGS2 i am sure....

till then enjoy the positive things about ur SGS2....
[Galaxy S II General] zoobzone:
One of the reasons why I moved from the iPhone 4 to the S2 is because every 2nd person I see has an iPhone 4, it was depressing.

And the inability to change notification sounds meant that whenever I heard the notification tone play, I had to second guess if it was my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Rooster19:
Until Apple decide to change the way they make their iPhones, android will still be way up top.

Even when iPhone 6 comes out, the SGS3 will probably be 2x better lol.

Also, the majority of iPhone users who purchase an iPhone don't even know what android can do/is capable of and assume iPhone will always be the best phone out...

I was going to buy an iPhone but the only thing appealing about is iTunes.
[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
Well Apple announced iOS5 and some (more than likely exaggerated) figures stating it's the most used mobile OS on the market stating around 44% market share I think, but this includes i everything. Take this back to phone's which we're talking about and Android has 36.4% against Apple's 26% with Samsung being the leading OEM with 24.5% against Apple's 8.3%.

Within the grounbreaking new features of iOS5 is a drop-down notifications bar (stolen from Android), twitter integration (been used in HTC's for years), no more need for a PC/Mac to setup (like a normal phone), iMessage for communicating between iOS devices (like whatsapp, BBM and every other instant messaging program), tabbed web browsing, need I go on. The biggest problem with Apple is they like to re-invent the wheel, nothing is new it just comes with an i prefix. This is the same with OSX for Macs where they've just introduced full screen apps (OMG), they've got so much catching up to do it's insane. Now I've seen the software the next gen i-Phone will work with I can say I won't be rushing out to get one as no matter what the hardware is, it's still a glorified app launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
You can make the screen to 4" without changing the size of the iphone.

Nope.. thats not right. I returned my SGSII because i had physical problems with it. like line banding on the screen, getting very hot and weird smell coming from it.

Iv had a total of 4 SGSII's

I had the SII for just 1week and i had physical problems with it every day. I got fed up of it and i didnt want to waste my time on it any more.
[Galaxy S II General] kevink82:
Ill buy an iphone 5 if it has copy contact to sim function :p But seriously if its like the spy pics that uses the metal teardrop backplate then im gonna pass ..... How are you suppose to to keep it scratchless ;;

I dont mind minor scratches but the horror of old ipods haunts me, ppl that babysit their phone will probably change one every few months though so big money for apple lol.
[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
Lol I did not even know that you can't change the notification sounds in iOS without jailbreak. :D I am speechless.
[Galaxy S II General] Matchstick:
I think the iPhone vs Android war has shifted substantially this year (which has lead to things like Apple being much more open about what the next version of iOS will bring - is this an attempt to get people to hold on till september and the new model rather than getting an Android phone today ?).

Up to this year, at the end of it's one year cycle the current iphone has still been at least pretty much level with the top-end android phone (ie when the iphone 4 came out the iphone 3GS was still roughly comparable to a SGS or HTC Desire).

However this year phones like the SGSII and HTC Sensation are already (IMHO) substantially better than the iphone 4 which means that Apple need to put out something significantly better that the current iphone in September just to match the current gen of Android phones (let alone whatever new devices come out between now and September).

The market seems to have switched round with Apple seemingly now chasing Android; behind in marketshare, quite possible even behind in app numbers by the summer and now aparently no longer even making the running in UI design.

I certainly won't rule Apple out but I do think that their weaknesses are now being ruthlessly exposed by competitors now, especially their inability to get customers who can't afford a top end smartphone onto their platform something that will only hurt them progessively more if they don't address it soon.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
Well I've been looking all up and down google for this, if anyone has a copy of the original AT&T boot animation handy, I would appreciate it. I found 'A' version of it, but its not the same. I had to re size the images to get it to run smoother, and its still not that great.

EDIT: Here is the current animation I am using. It includes an HTC animation I made, and loops the AT&T 'rethink possible' animation (twice on my phone but will vary depend on your boot time). I've managed to get it pretty smooth for our phones.

EDIT2: Got the real one, no sound though. RUU'd back to 2.1 to get it. Had to modify the Desc.txt to work with CM7. Removed the single HTC splash screen that flashed before. Still not as smooth as I like. Rename to bootanimation.zip and place in your /data/local/ folder.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
Really? Nobody has a rooted 2.1 that they can pull the bootanimation.zip off of?

[Galaxy S II General] Ayers976:
I noticed that since switching to Google Voice for making my calls, every time I make a call there is a popup saying:

"Calling via %s"

Anyone else have this?

Any fixes?
[Galaxy S II General] Extreme184X:
"Calling via %s" is NOT A BUG,

In fact that pop up is a confirmation that a number is being dialed through Google voice, also means that you are using and have installed Google voice. If that pop up doesn't appear, it means that the default android dialer will dial the number instead, or that you don't GV app installed. There is NOT a way to disable that little pop up.
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
other devices its says "calling via google voice"
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
The % sign is definitely a bug.
[Galaxy S II General] Ayers976:
Does anyone else with SGS2 get %s instead of "Google Voice"?

Edit: Extreme I have no problem with the white pop up. Just the %s part of the message.
[Galaxy S II General] Extreme184X:
opps, i figured it was suppose look like that, but guess were gonna have to wait for an update for those characters to be fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
Wait for what kind of update?

I would like to get rid of the message altogether - and still use gVoice of course! :D
[Galaxy S II General] yiannisthegreek:
I get that type of character when I enter a username and password while in the browser. I have not used GTalk but as I say... The same thing shows up when I am entering info on the browser as well.

Weird...

Anyone else see this or is it just me and what type of update will fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] vanberge:
bump - I get this same thing on my Galaxy SII ET4G on sprint.

I'm gonna post in the Google Voice help forums
[Galaxy S II General] mayonaise:
I'm seeing the same thing on my SGSII. "%s" is commonly used in programming languages to basically indicate 'string-goes-here'. In C++ for example, if you have a statement you want to print, but want to include a variable string, you could do it like this:

printf("Calling via %s", source);

Where source may be "Google Voice" or "Skype", or what not. "%s" will be replaced by 'source'...

This is definitely a bug. Maybe some characters got escaped accidentally. I'm hoping this gets fixed too. It's a minor annoyance, but I'm picky about these things.
[Galaxy S II General] TurboFool:
I have the same thing on my E4GT, as well. Found this thread while Googling for a solution.
[Galaxy S II General] grifforama:
I'm still getting this on my ATT SGSII

Seems like it's a common issue ?

[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Hi everyone!

DISCLAIMER

I have no f* idea of what this does, or if it's legal, common, natural, whatever wherever you live. So if this does magic or can't be posted, tell me so i know :D.

So IF VERIZON blames you for entering there... i don't care. My relationship with V ends when the logo goes off, but your case may be normal usage... or so.

WARNING!! As stated by some users,

this may affect/disable your calling and messaging capabilities

. You have been prevented, test this only if you'r curious under your OWN RESPONSABILITY.

This is a summary of the issues and solving procedure from Zero2duo (thanks ;) ):

Intro

As i could read many times, there is a submenu inside the ##PROGRAMNITT menu from the phone called "AUTHENTICATION KEY".

Ok,so you need some code that you dont have hum....let's play a bit.

note: this does nothing and doesn't let you hack the device or make coffee for you, it's a crappy result.

Mmm well, to start, you need a *unknown* length password, which you don't know, and also other values that you can't get from the phone itself, but you can fetch with tools. The download list goes as:

- RevSkills

- A-Key Calculator (http://www.superbank.ru/sms/)

- From the old times, the QualcommDIAG (old driver) or the SPST usb driver, so we get a COM port for the device. Both can be found on the forum itself. The best option is the bitpim guide, so you can know how to set the com port and yak yak yak.

Walkthrough

- Enter the ##PROGRAMNITT submenu and then activate the serial class mode within the "OTHER" submenu.

- Plug the kin

- Open revskills and set the port dropdown menu with your current phone com port (probably COM3)

- Go to the tab on this image, and press the "Read" button:

Write the ESN value (red square) / keep this window open.

- Open the A-key calculator, and input (write as is) the ESN value on the textbox (Note that it's a 8 hex char value, so put 0's on the left if doesnt). The right value will be updated while you type your ESN.

The result looks like this:

- Enter the "AUTHENTICATION KEY" submenu and type the updated value from A-key calculator & press "OK" button.

- Enjoy the... well does nothing for me so... who knows what's this for? unlocking the kin?

Note that i shadowed my values for security reasons... for the verizon customer, i guess, i dont use any of them :P.
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
Looks interesting. From what you've explained, you are not on a Verizon network (out of the country) and do not have an activated phone, correct?

I'm going to play with this later tonight, unless someone else beats me to it and convinces me not to. :D
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Outta the verizon network, outta the country. I'm from Europe. That's why i got some delay on the posts... rofl.

I knew i couldnt use it, I just bought the first kin for the lulz. I thought i was going to be able to hack it through IE bugs... meh, life shows you that things are not always as expected....
[KIN Two Software Development] Heratiki:
Anyone tested this yet on the Verizon Network? I know it sounds dangerous but it's worth a try. I believe I've bricked mine so I'll attempt it when I get it back to a serviceable state.

Here's to hoping.
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
Was gonna try it until you reminded me of a brick possibility. Eh, my kin is only 2 weeks old, I'll try it tonight.
