[Galaxy S II General] erhangulsum:
I was using from this cable with my Galaxy S i9000, but the cable doesnt work anymore with SGS 2 i9100... I think samsung disabled it.

And my neighbour had iphone, he was using a auto radio, he was watching videos and listening music with it, i told him buy a samsung galaxy s2, it will work with 3.5mm cable, after he bought sgs2 we were shocked, cable didnt work with sgs2... he doesnt has hdmi in auto radio, he just bought it because of works with his auto radio...

We dont know what to do... Thats why i asked for a hack or something like that...

Is it possible to let it work on sgs2? i mean my cable as on video...
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Why not use an adapter to change the HDMI output to what you need? I figure they're out there...
[Galaxy S II General] erhangulsum:
if someone knows which cables do i have to find than please let me know...

but i think someone can do some works for it, almost same plug in on my sgs and sgs2...
[Galaxy S II General] Mew178:
You need a MHL adapter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbSFqqv5FeE

Etc... google for it. Some shops in the UK have it but it's pretty much out of stock everywhere.
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
Would also like to know this. What cable do i need to plug into the hdmi on tv?
[Galaxy S II General] Mew178:
You need to buy a MHL adapter that comes with it's own power supply and then connect it to the micro USB port on the phone from then on it's HDMI > HDMI.
[Galaxy S II General] erhangulsum:
i am sure that i need some cable like this one:

http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=45238

But i am not sure if it works with Samsung Galaxy S2...

Or maybe this can also but i dont think so :)

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vivitar-Camera-...s_Adapters&hash=item2eb58bc4a8#ht_1242wt_1132
[Galaxy S II General] ogdobber:
you need this one...http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-mhl-adaptor and then a regular hdmi cable to plug that into your tv
[Galaxy S II General] erhangulsum:
Yes, for using on tv...

I was using exactly this cable with my Samsung galaxy s:

When i was using this one, there was a tv-out section in settings...

My neighbour bought sgs2 because of this cable works with his kenwood auto radio... He has only rca input for video so he cant use hdmi.

He has something like this but inc. no bluetooth or hdmi input, only rca input for video:

http://www.kenwood.nl/products/car/multimedia/receivers/DDX4028BT/

Samsung disabled rca cable on sgs2 so we are trying to find a solution...

I hope that i explained well...
[Galaxy S II General] ogdobber:
video will never work from the 3.5 on the sgs2, the hardware isn't there.

you will need the mhl cable and an hdmi to rca for the "car video" solution

like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/3FT-HDTV-HDMI-3-RCA-RGB-Adapter-Cable-PS3-276-/280653543268?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4158413764#ht_2569wt_906
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luro:
I have had my hero rooted for a while nd flashed 3 or 4 ROMS to it. It is currently s-off with CM 6.1. I downloaded 3 different gingerbread ROMS and each time I get the error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "hero" || getprop ("ro.buE:unknown command [ild.product")]

E:Error in /sdcard/<romname>.zip

(Status 7)

Thanks

Extra info:

I have HBOOT- 1.47.0000 (HERO20000) and my recovery panel is Build : RA-heroc-v1.5.2

Sprint CDMA
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luro:
Solved: I am in the wrong section and the ROMs are for the GSM phones. Status 7 appears to be the error you get trying to load a ROM not made for your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
Ok, so I was wondering, you know how under the testing menu and going to phone settings you can see info about your network and what not. Should I be seeing HSPA+ or just HSPA under "Network Type?"

Here is what I mean:

It says HSPA under Network Type, but should it say HSPA+?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
Don't worry HSPA is what I get as well on CM7 and I get 9MB download speeds so that's definitely HSPA +! Besides on stock Froyo its says UMTS but you still get 4G speeds so your good bro don't worry. Download speedtest app from market and test your speeds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
Alright cool, I got that app, was just wondering. I thought the hspa+ speeds would be better out here by Boston, but top out at 4mbps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
I dont know man Boston is a pretty big city so getting 4mb down isn't all that bad, I've only reached 9mb down in the middle of the night lol, so maybe try it out then haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
I guess your right. Tho I due wish that T-Mobile got better coverage at Logan Airport. It sucks over here lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shahp:
Man I don't have speeds anywhere near what you got, and I live in the heart of the city. Maybe I'm missing something. I've got the phone rooted, but is there something else that boosts speed? I mean, my UL speed is greater than my DL speed haha wtf.

EDIT: added SS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RevenG:
HSPA+ is running on the HSPA towers. So it says HSPA, but it is really HSPA+. I am in Denver and at work is always pull an average down of about 11-12mbps. But at home I only get about 3-4. It just depends on how many people are on connected on the same tower.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
Why, Im only getting 1mbps in new york city? Lmao

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
Got this the other day while in swampscott.

And this is what I get right now at my house at 2am.

Looks like I need to move to swampscott lol.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] shirazs:
Is it possible to have videos played directly (in Divx or any other compatible format) from a USB thumb drive connected to the GT10.1 via the addon USB accessory?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrmad23:
thumbs up for this question! Would like to know this, too!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] einsfck:
The answer to your question is no... not directly. The only way to do it is to connect your tab to a computer, copy the file over, disconnect the tab, and play it from the local hard drive on the tab.

When I copied movies over, it took an .mp4 file and converted it to wmv on the tab.

I also noticed that when your tab is plugged into the computer, you can't do anything on the tab. If you do, it disconnects the tab from the computer.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] einsfck:
After doing a bit more research, here's an update:

It looks like Samsung makes a usb adapter. I can't post links, but google "Galaxy Tab Adapter (USB)"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kevin Gossett:
Yes, once the USB adapter is available you will be able to use thumb drives, portable hard drives, etc, to play movies, music...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] im.thatoneguy:
Will you be able to transfer files back to the Thumb Drive once the USB adapter is available? Or will it only be able to download?

I assume we have no idea when Samsung will make said adapter available.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hyann:
It is (said to be ) usb host. I have used usb host before. literally it is 100% a usb drive. you can upload, download, read, edit, play, delete, any file that is attached to it.

And you can connect a mouse or keyboard too. Just think of it as a usb slot. If the adaptor is legitimate usb host then it should perform every of the above.

I'm also waiting too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
a usb drive should function the same way it does on your computer. you will be able to play files that are on it, copy files from it and load files onto it. it will act just like sd cards do now in android.

the adapter is available for order now, but I believe it's listed as "back order"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dagaetch:
Has anyone else noticed that due to the design of the tab, if you have a usb drive plugged in and are using headphones, you won't be able to prop it up? They're on opposite sides, so one plug would always be blocked!

I decided this wasn't the biggest deal for me, but it's definitely an annoying design decision.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 99scooter:
Hey guys, I'm sorry to bring this back up again almost 4 months later, but has anyone tried to use an external cd/dvd drive with the usb adapter? I'm wondering I could play a movie from the external cd/dvd drive and have it play on the tabet. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmmcd:
I haven't done it, but I think you would need an external power source to power the dvd drive. The USB does not supply enough power for that. Also, I think the USB hub for the Tab can only read FAT32 formatted drives, so I don't think it has the software to read directly from DVD, but I don't know.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] genkilljoy:
Just play the from the USB device. How can this be a portable device if it has everything dangling from it...For that get a thin notebook.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
It depends... USB can only provide about 500mA of current tops but with that tablet it probably even less, so your HDD would need external power supply.

Also, out of box, Galaxy Tab support only FAT32 as file system. So, you would need drivers/modules to support anything else.

I am using pershoot kernel with NTFS module, so I tested 16Gbyte jump drive formatted with NTFS. I was being able to mount it and read from it no problem. So, I see no problem to mount and read from HDD (granted you have to have external power supply for it).

If you are talking about CD/DVD drive then you would need driver/module for that and I did not see it available.
[HD2 General] czesioxda:
Hey, I have a huge problem... (I couldn't find the answer anywhere)

I inserted the phone lock password (WM6.5) too many times wrong and it locked forever (ROM bug?). When I gave the right pass it did nothing. So I decided to flash WP7 or Android to my Leo but... I need to backup my data from internal memory before. Is there any way to dump phone internal memory via bootloader mode or any way to mount it to Linux. Or even to do "dd" on Linux to export the whole memory to a file.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
No.

The only method i've come across to dump the nand uses psdwrite, and that not only requires winmo to be working, but only gives you the rom as it was out of the box, no data.

Perhaps there are hardware solutions to dump the nand, along the lines of jtag, but I've never seen reference to anything like it.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
yes, the only way is via jtag. Even so, a jtag dump will contain only binary data, in the exact way they were physically stored on the nand memory chip.

You need to "compile" them to a more useful form but i don't know of some way to do that.

Older phones simply allowed active sync connection even if still locked by passwords. Those were easier times :p
[HD2 General] czesioxda:
OK, I don't need any more answers because I have installed WP7. Anyway this thread will be useful in the future so if you know something about accessing internal memory of Leo via bootloader then please write

okay so my g2 is rooted and lately it has been dying and if i plug it in, it does'nt turn on the orange light blinks a few times and then...blinks orange and green, i left it on there for a while and then turned it on after unplugging it and it just keeps dying but this morning i woke up and it wouldn't even turn on. I've heard that this means its overheating, and i just wanted to know if my tmobile insurance covers a battery replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master.peterm:
You have to call the HTC Accessory line which is: 1-888-871-3305... just dont mention that your device is rooted and they will replace it, usually with free shipping
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykulG76:
Thanks, but i went to tmobile and they took one out of another phone and the lady plugged it in and said it did the same thing.. we ordered a new one with the warranty still going until October. When I got home I plugged in the phone again and it worked.... i'm thinking about just returning this phone and using the new one but i'm not sure how (and if) i can unroot this thing and get it back to complete stock could you help me out?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master.peterm:
yea I can help you.... can I ask did you do the gfree method or the older method (putting files on sdcard and typing in commands in Terminal)....

Yes I used visionary and typed commands with the terminal, I have s-off also
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master.peterm:
how long does it take before your battery dies.... if it stays a decent amount of time I would do this.... (make sure to fully charge between each step and if you need help with any step just ask)

1) Flash this Rom inside of clockwork recovery http://www.4shared.com/file/XlIDy7SV/ota_odex_V11.html

(charge)

2)flash the original recovery image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834545&highlight=recovery

(past 2 steps were just incase phone dies out in next step

(charge)

3)now do the instructions on this site.. (And Make Sure you Charge as much as possible before flashing PC10IMG.zip)

then you would be unrooted....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykulG76:
Oh with the new battery the phone is fine now I just wanted a brand new g2 before my warranty ended :)

Besides it was already ordered before we found out that my phone would work properly with the new battery so why go through the trouble of canceling it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommy0515:
Battery warrenty

If you got your phone less then ninety days ago the battery is still under a warranty. You need to call T-Mobile and tell them that your phone is randomly rebooting and when they ask you if you have another battery to try tell them you don't. You can also just say that the battery dies very quickly, or that the battery will not charge when you have the phone on the charger but it charges when you plug it in via USB. All of those complaints will lead to a free battery replacement.

Source: I used to work for T-Mobile customer service. (For three years until I went back to school last year)

[Acer Iconia A500] zeuslee:
I doesn't have this problem. But after update, I have to download the game data again. It's doesn't matter because it,s only a trial version. Maybe you try go settings > manage apps > clear the data.

[Fascinate General] 54lzy:
I am trying to restore the phone to stock so I can take it back to Verizon to be warranteed, but when I am odining, it just hangs at the modem install. I selected PDA and used a DI01 .md5 image to restore it. Has this happened to anyone/does anyone have any ideas/advice?
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
I would recommend going back to stock DL09 instead of DI01. When you go back to stock DL09 your phone will likely OTA to the current stock build which is ED04. That way when you go back to the store you will be on the most current stock build. Put this in PDA section of ODIN:

http://adrynalyne.us/files/stuff/CI500_VZW_DL09_ECLAIR.tar.md5

and make sure of the following:

battery is out the whole time

use usb port in the back of the computer near the motherboard

use the usb cable that came with phone

make sure you have the correct samsung usb drivers installed

If it's still not working after all that try turning off your antivirus program, that can sometimes interfere.
[Fascinate General] rand4ll:
Try heimdall...i did the dl09 back to stock with the phone I just sent back and it OTA to ed04
[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
If its just the modem then you are fine to just unplug your phone and try again. This happened to me earlier going back to dl09 after being on cm7. Just unplugged and tried again.

I want to ask can i use MarketEnabler with that temp. root? And does it affects devices warranty?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
no u can't cause market is force closing then and the effect of marketenabler will be killed after a reboot ;)
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Don't try Gingerbreak if you're on S-ON. It's useless altogether. Everything was force closing.

We'll have to wait what HTC's workaround on lock bootloaders or AlphaRevs has in store.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Temp root access has been achieved by some but seems to be unstable or at least unreliable.

Agree with previous poster, AlpharevX looks promising for a way forward to achieving superuser status & maybe a permanent software S-Off.

is there a stable custom rom ( for example cyanogen ) for Dell streak 5?

:) theres no cyanogen rom or Honeycomb for streak 5 till now. as there is only one developer named DJsteve(search for his rom in (android development) till now his roms 1.9 and above are stable .

Now, some new developers are coming up (thanks god ,its better to have more developers rather than only one, then u have choices with different roms, rather than updating samething's in different numbered roms)

djsteve tried to port Gingerbread but is unstable till now, not too unstable - u can try .......................many others are also helping by posting fixes in the thread. (Rom no.rd - 2.00)

Honeycomb is under development- but will take alot time , as some driver problem

I just rooted my sgs2 using odon3 & superoneclick1.9.1.

After rooting, in KIES my phone firmware is : PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KD3 (LUX).

Is this the latest version?

+Where can I find an overview of the firmwares ? (Using a Belgian(!) sgs2)

And another question: After rooting, a yellow warning triangle is shown during boot.

In this forum is seems a special usb cable is required. Though I found an Indian site that uses update files to fix the yellow sign, without a special made usb cable. Is this indeed possible ?
