[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
there's no way a ROM flash (before or after activation) will alter the MEID on a device. Totally not possible. The USB 'modem' in the device must be put into UART mode to do any MEID shenanigans.. by default (and not changeable w/ a ROM) our USB modems are set to PDA mode. Suggesting something like you have is pure nonsense. (unless you're MEID is messed up and you're hoping someone will be the guinea pig with a non working solution and post if it works properly)...

It is possible to get TEP but it won't stay. Asurion will cancel it once they realize you don't have a new (or 30day or less old) device. Sprint has nothing to do with it.

with the red checkmark carrier, it IS possible to have insurance on a used device... follow these instructions:

1. Activate a new device

2. get insurance (TEP)

3. Swap in the used device

VOILA.. used device has insurance.

(known working method w/ VZW.. not sure if it will work for sprint)

Well guys It looks like the phone was stolen.

Esn in the phone belongs to a a lady who reported it stolen. They must have taken the esn From a good phone stuck it under the battery and sold it.

Ive connacted paypal and they put in a claim. These a**holes want the phone back to give me a full refund. Im not giving the diddly squat.

Paypal aggreed. we have to wait a few days for there response.

I will try to contact sprint and see if they can return this phone to the original owner.

Forget about changing the esn. Eventhough I may have a way to do so, its just not right and it belongs to the owner.

I hate the fact that people work hard for what they have just so another scumbag can steal it and make a quick buck. They lost the phone lost there money and Im going to contact the police station when this is all said and done and see if they can do something about this.

The ebay seller is alltechwireless. Stay way from them.

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

No what I am faced with is that the ESN in the back of the phone is registered in my name. I dont want someone using the phone when it belongs to me. So should I report that esn number stolen too.

I just dont know what to do in that end.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
be more specific about the ESN registration and how it affects you..

I don't understand what you mean by anything being registered in your name..

There was an MEID in settings > about phone (call this MEID #1)

Then there's the MEID under the battery (call this MEID #2).. BOTH should match.. however someone wrote another MEID to the device (MEID #1)..

having said the above, please tell us how it affects you now..

I understand that 'one' of the MEID's was reported stolen.. but which one ?? and which one is now registered to you ??

THEN we can help :) (and you did the right thing if the MEID under the battery is the one reported stolen)
[Epic 4G General] Modmyppc:
The ESN in the phone belongs to the lady.

The ESN on the battery belongs to me.

When I called sprint they ask to remove the battery and read off the esn. That esn belongs to me. The one in the battery.

They just took out a sticker from a good phone and put it into the stolen phone.

Thats why i can't register it. Because the Phone that belongs to the esn in the back of the battery is somewhere else.

So I have an epic registered to me. Its the esn in the battery. I dont want wherever the phone is to be registered by another person. or used by another person. It belongs to me because I registered it its a clean esn.

So I really have a phone its just not in my posession. The phone that I have the esn in the phone the esn that can't be changed belongs to another person.

hope that clears things up
[Epic 4G General] Modmyppc:
They didn't touch meid #1 they took MEID#2 from another phone and stuck it on a the back of this stolen phone MEID #1

There is another MEID#1 phone out there with a missing MEID#2. I have that MEID#2 its registerd in my name.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
how do you know the sticker under the battery was tampered with ??

It's extremely difficult to remove that sticker without damaging it, only to put it on another device..

it's much easier to change MEID's via software.

If what you describe is accurate (sticker tampering) then I'd report the MEID from the sticker as lost/stolen so Sprint can blacklist it.

If the sticker wasn't tampered with, keep the phone, fix the MEID and go on about your business.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamison904:
Hey guys I soft bricked my tab last night. What happened was I was getting an error trying to update so like a bonehead I decided to flash_image through terminal. All looked ok so I reboot recovery to update. No go. Just sits on the galaxy tab screen. Can't get into recovery. Was able to get in to download mode and tried Odin. It see the tab but every time I try and revert back to stock Odin just sits there at setting up connection. After 45 minutes finally got a failed message. Since there seems to still be some sort of connection do you think I might be able to adb and push the stock recovery back on to it? Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Check your drivers. Reinstall them if necessary or even try on another computer. Corrupted drivers is usually why odin gets stuck at seting up connection.

I'm wondering if someone could possibly mod asus buttons (home, back, menu etc...) to have the same color as the stock, or Xoom, buttons to fit in better in the bottom with the clock.

I don't want the stock buttons as I like the Asus ones better, but them being white makes them stand out a little bit too much for my taste.

OCED11 makes noise, SCEE07 no noise ... so whats up there ?

OCED11 beats the lens two times against the glass when starting, SCEE07 not
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoOneCanHelpMe:
all the phones i've played with have that sound :confused: does ur friend can focus properly? on marco as well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natascha303:
Camera Firmwares / Starting Noise

ive got a couple of test phones, just ONE makes this noise and it is OCED11 ... OCED11 was also the first firmware on the early batches in May.

The other phones are SCEE07 and this seems to be another lens, no noise at all. The Lens just moves forward and stays = no noise

OCED11 moves two times fast forward and back = beating against the camera glas = noise

here my test, Modell 1+2 no noise Modell 3 with Noise

http://www.android-hilfe.de/samsung...ra-des-sgs2-firmware-type-69.html#post1553031

Focus, Makro all the same. But the Noise is annoying and not healthy for the lens i think
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
It doesn't hit the glass, it hits the lens housing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natascha303:
okay and is this a serious problem, a problem of a couple batches or just because of an another camera lens producer ?

focusing and quality of the pics is the same like the non-noisy ones. see above link

because OCED11 has it and SCEE07 not ... OCED11 is the older and first batch
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenDroid:
Flashing has caused my camera, to go from silent on boot and activation to sounding like it is breaking.

My phone did not have this noise when I bought it, neither with the first rom or two I flashed.

When I flashed a rom don't remember which one it started and now it also happens on stock roms, though I don't which stock rom is for my phone and thus do not know whether this would stop the camera from sounding like it will brake.

The sound is more pronounced on some roms/kernels than others, though I have not been keeping track.

And yes my Camera does now have a much harder time focusing than when I bought it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfgodoy:
Got KE7 and OCED11 here also. And camera makes that weird noise! I can't take macros from less tha 4-5" ...

Hi all,

I have the same problem on my phone.

I have downloaded the camera firmware update which is available since june 8th from samsung Apps but no changes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stijnr:
I just changed my phone for a new one because of the yellow left side problem. My previous phone had the click really obvious. But this new one produces no sound whatsoever when starting the camera.

Left side is still a bit yellow though.

How do i check the firmware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoOneCanHelpMe:
*#34971539# and then press Phone/CAM FW Ver Check and try NOT!!! to touch the other options :)

could you please make one test? what is the closest focusing distance on marco?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stijnr:
Cam FW Ver: SCEE07

Phone FW Ver: TBEC28

Closest focus distance in Macro is approx. one finger's length (8cm?). A bit closer it still stays it is focused, but actually the view is blurry. Even closer and it will no longer focus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoOneCanHelpMe:
thanks :) so that confirms that my lens are exactly the same with one exception that I have the clicking sound when I open the camera app

my focus distance is exactly the same :) I dont think we should be worried, but only time will tell :)

Hey guys,

I wonder what I have to do, to enlarge the buttons/icons in the power widget in froyomods notification bar.

The size should be 124x96px.

Height is no problem, but the system resizes the width on its own.

A screenshot, so you might better understand what I mean:

Thanks so far

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dynamite1985:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Glad you like it...

Any idea how to enlarge although?!

...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
That looks good, buddy. Can you send me the framework? Any luck with increasing the width.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
I'll send it later that day, cause Im celebrating my bday with my girl.

Luca told me he has to re-write the source code, it forces the system to use 6 icons instead of 5, which is the reasonn why a width of 96px is not possible.

Later, mate!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
Happy birthday, dude. Enjoy your day. Don't bother.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
How does this look Nik? 5 icons by default instead of 6 on the galaxy s widget bar? The modified services.jar is attached. See if it helps you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Thanks mate, will test it when Im at home that evening.

Will notice you when Im done testing the file

Looks good so far, but Im in the train.

If it is No problem for you, might you send me a file in 124x96px?

But only if you have time, dont bother!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Naaa, dont care.

Will work on it later at home and will notice you.

Finally I ported a piece from a SGSII theme (dont exactly know which one...) and it looks like this!

That really rocks, thats what I expacted!

Really really well done my friend :)

Just 2 things have to be fixed:

- when using more than 5 icons, the background shines trough the power widget at the edges AND between power widget and providerbar

- indicatorbar has be removed

First point is not a problem when using 5 icons, but when I find a way to remove the inidcators, Im the luckiest guy so far :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
That shouldn't be a problem. Just send me the framework you are using now. I'll have a look tonight.

hi all sorry to post with speed but ive not many times xD

Can you list me what was modified to arghieve the gs2 icons working without being square?

so I can try to include it in future releases (that was the original look I searched xD)

About next release when I have some time it will be released with many fix (including phenomenal kabaldans dsi fix :D) and new features...*

Just be patient guys xD

About power widget I'll appreciate a lot if you help in having that look

thx
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
No problem Luca, ill send you a pm. Involves editing framework-res and services.jar.

Now if you help in getting rid of the indicator and scrollbar, we will have a super Galaxy S widget bar.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Hey luca,

Sileshn helped me to achieve my idea of the larger icons.

He posted a services.jar in this thread which forces the system to show only 5 icons in a row and thats all.

I created some buttons in 124x96px and as you can see, it works well!

Just grab the services.jar from sileshn.

My advice: Is it possible to choose in the next release which icon-type you want to have in the power widget? Cause I know many people who doesnt want that look but the squared one...

// He was faster XD

___

ja, luca.

Maybe you can help with the issues concerning the background, which shines through the power widget, while having more than 5 icons checked to be shown.

Concernnig indicators: I became a hint how to get rid of it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
You got your answer, Luca. Framework mod is not necessary. That was checked by Nik. So only need to use the modded services.jar. Changes are in the following file.

com\android\server\status\galaxyswidget\GalaxySWidget.smali
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Thanks so.I have only to force max 5 icons ok :D

That's enough for me doing those change on source code is easier than on smali1!!

The scrollbar is already removed from next release...for the toggle I.think I'll have to think some solution xD

apk manager is not able to decompile the one from the froyomod 2.8.0.b...

Would be great, thank!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
There is a roundabout way to do it. This is how i get it done.

Make 2 copies of the original framework. Lets name them framework1 and framework2 for the sake of convenience. Use themeporter to transfer icons from the original CM6 framework to framework1. Decompile, make changes and recompile framework1. Then move the png's from framework2 to framework1 using themeporter.

Themeporter can be found here. Use option 1 while working with themeporter.

edit1

: if it is only xml edits, then you can copy the xml's directly into framework2 from the recompiled framework1.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
I have no problems in porting png or xml files.

But in that special case, I dont know how to handle the values folder, especially the styles.xml, because its in the resources.arsc.

After decompiling Im editing the styles.xml from the revolution theme.

Compiling it and have the revolution theme with that edited styles.xml.

I simply need the original framework, because I dont know what is edited in the revo theme.

Best solution would be using my current framework, because its only about the font color (black -> white), but I cant decompile it :/

////// EDIT

Everything's fine, I found a framework with switched font color ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
luca, can you help us concerning the background, which shines trough the power widget at the edges while scrolling when using more than 5 icons?

When this is done, it's perfect!

Im having everything on my machine and on the phone, working and looking good so far ;)
