Someone has any idea ?

I supposed it's a driver problem, but how to update ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
Try turning USB Debugging mode off, you should then connect to Kies. I personally never use Kies so have USB Debugging on so I can mount the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyphZ:
Ok it installed me some drivers more.

Kies IS OK.

But if i switch to usb debugging on, i still got problems in Eclipse.

What rom? Build date?

What OS and version (Windows 7 i take it?)

I use sgs2 ke7 constantly for testing dev stuff quick so not sure why you should be so special :)

I use it mainly on OSX and Linux, with the latter I had to add vender USB permissions to the USB module but thats it.

Take it you got it sorted?

I'm using WIN 7 PRO.

I don't know why, but now it works, i didn't changed anything, even reboot (just hibernate...)

It will stay a mystery i think....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
On win7 I can replicate all sorts of things by using hibernation, usb probs, sound problems, cause sometimes it doesn't sleep resources or wake them up as it should. So could be that :)

I have the same problem on rooted sgs2 and windows xp. Have you found a solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acepower:
yup, I can run the kies on win 7 too,there have not any problem when I root my galaxy S II, maybe is the compatibility problem?!

update ur windows by windows updater in control panel or by clicking right click on my computer u will find additional updates there and thr u can see MTP DRIVERS for S2 after installing it u can reconnect ur device
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JudgeyK:
I bought my S2 from Hong Kong and its rooted and on XEU firmware etc, in HK it seems I can pick up 3G, but when I come back into China, Guangzhou all I get is Edge, is there anything I can do as I know there is 3G available through China Mobile?

Cheers Guys...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey2o11:
Maybe Guangzhou doesn't have 3G
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
Try this maybe it will help..

1: dial *#*#4636#*#* on your keypad

2: select phone information

3: press the menu button( left softkey on your phone)

4: select radio band

5: choose automatic radio band.

6: go back to dial pad and key in *#*#197328640#*#*

7: select debug screen

8: select phone control

9: select network control

10: select band selection

11: make sure automatic band is selected (asterix mark is beside automatic)

12: also chek the combi band menu every band has an asterix mark.

13: reboot phone

14: make sure your netwok is selected to gsm/wcdma auto

Now your phone should work in all the bands.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JudgeyK:
Cheers Iznee,

Did the first bit, but having problems on how to get the asterix into option 4 (combi) can't seem to work it out. select menu and type 4 for the line just takes you into the option, how on earth do you select options in debug mode lol :D
[General Questions and Answers] devna:
Im on an unlocked Droid Pro and manually got myself the Gingerbread update :D

but I cant seem to find a a final answer to whether or not gingerbread on the droid pro can be rooted? :confused:

most forums suggest that manually installing the pre rooted gingerbread was my best bet.. but since im past that stage, is there any looking forward? :(
[General Questions and Answers] waqarhussain22:
I did the same and recovered to my T-Mobile rom really hardly back
[General Questions and Answers] patmw123:
You should be able to download the team black hat app and get the new 3.8.7 sbf (this is the most recent froyo update) and flash your phone back to froyo with the sbf. After getting back to froyo you can then install the prerooted gingerbread.
[General Questions and Answers] matistight:
yeah black hat is mainly in charge of those moto roms
[General Questions and Answers] devna:
err.. im going to sound really stupid but how do you "flash" your phone back to "sbf" (???)

and TBH isnt free right?

if it is, a link would be superb.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] JeffreyM:
Hi there, I'm new to android and I installed the Facebook for Android app.

I manually inserted some of my friends into the Contactlist.

I tried to sync my Facebook-friends that are presented into my manually added Contactlist.

When I want to send a textmessage (sms) and search for a contact, I can see my entire facebook friends... But I only want to see my manually added contactlist (with the facebook sync like: photo's, profile, etc)

So my problem:

- Contactlist ok (only my contacts from phonebook)

- Messages not ok (I can see my entire facebook)
[Galaxy S II General] yamanote:
Open Facebook, tap the stylized facebook text on the top left corner so you go to the 9 icon grid layout, then tap the Menu softkey, Settings, scroll down, tap Sync Contacts, choose Sync with existing contacts, then OK.
[Galaxy S II General] JeffreyM:
I allready did this, but ALL the facebook contacts are still in "Message"
[Galaxy S II General] yamanote:
Try Don't sync, let it clear out your contacts list, then try sync with existing contacts again.

Also, check that you don't have facebook syncing contacts with the Social Hub.
[Galaxy S II General] JeffreyM:
I deleted my fb accound and then I synced with existing contacts...

But in Messages I see all the facebook friends again.

I never opened social hubs, I did it now but I don't have any feeds because I have 0 accounts into feeds...

But on the tab Messages i see the link to messages...

And again same story = All facebook contacts.

I also tried to delete them by KIES. But KIES only shows the right contacts (not the facebook contacts)
[Galaxy S II General] yamanote:
Just checked on my own phone and yeah I have the same issue.

Try Add recipient>Groups>My Contacts? Or Favourite all the people you want to text and tap the Favourites tab every time you text maybe?

Sorry that's all I can help you with. Dunno how to completely rid the nonessential contacts from Messages short of exporting the ones you want from Facebook and reimporting via Google or something.
[Galaxy S II General] Greenie-UK:
seems to be a bug with Samsungs implementation of FB integration, you can choose to hide facebook only contacts but when messaging it will show your full Contacts list (including facebook) regardless of the selection made in the Contacts menu.

hope samsung sort it out !
[Galaxy S II General] reyza:
Yeah same issue. chose only sync with existing contacts but it still synced all
[Galaxy S II General] maverick1103:
Annoying bug, I have a work around!

Any work around?

This is the same issue with mine, I have tried loads of things, it looks like a bug as selecting sync with existing contacts, should just sync existing contacts not 'All' which is what it's doing!

However I have recently started using 'Go SMS' as my default SMS app and when I follow the same process to text someone I don't get the whole of my FB friends now!

Try it see what you think but I prefer GO SMS to the default Samsung SMS app. :)

Hello,

Thanks to this topic : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045204

I've rooted my Arc successfully :)

But, since I've updated my Arc in 2.3.3 via Companion. My Arc is no more rooted !

Then my question is, can I root it again via this process : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045204

?

I'm noob, then please accept my apologies if my question seems stupid..

Thank you,

Benoit
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frenchdroid:
No you can't root it using the method you linked - at the moment that only works up to and including 2.3.2.

However, you are in luck - you can follow this method posted a few days ago and which seems to be working for most (haven't tried it myself yet):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115542
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyen:
Merci :)

Thank you fo your answer, however I've already seen your link. And this method seems a little bit difficult for me.

Do you know if there is a chance that an easy method will appear later ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
Who knows. We have to wait untill a new exploid hack is released. At the moment you can unlock your bootloader and flash a pre-rooted sys file or you can use the methode provided in the post up here.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frenchdroid:
Well, for now it doesn't seem like there is another option. But, the way things move around here, I'd expect there root to be available via another method at some point. However, I don't understand anything about how the devs do their magic (I just follow the instructions they provide) so unfortunately I can't speculate about how long it might be.

I have a locked bootloader so I don't know if I'll be able to use custom roms in the future (although I'm more than happy with root and 2.3.3). If you want to have a go at flashing the 2.3.2 firmware, rooting and then updating OTA to 2.3.3 then feel free to ask questions here and I or someone else will help you out (it isn't hard really).
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Hi guys, I've got this p990 as my first android phone.

Years passed customizing WM... well air needed to be freshened!

Anyway down to my "problems"

A)

I hate the LG lockscreen, but I found no way to go back to default.

Also since I installed GO SMS PRO, received sms notifications continue to appear on it even after reading messages.

So I installed FlyScreen but don't like it that much.

Installed WidgetLocker and that suits me better, but I can't find any notification widget, something like a transparent overlay with the relevant info.

Maybe customizable. I've seen something like that in the Widgetlocker Themes, but even downloading theme doesn't fetch the widgets though.

Using android sliding bars for everything is really horrible.

B) how can I change the system icons (battery,wifi,etc)?

It's rooted, but I'm still running stock. Tried a Cyano nighlty but it didn't boot so I reverted to stock.

C) using GO SMS Pro, why do I have to select it as default on every reboot?

D) using ExtendedControls, reboot doesn't work although it got root permission. It gets stuck on the waiting window, system still works ok (I can go to home, and do everything). Who should I ask?

On a side note: since this phone runs on a tegra2, what would be the problem in flashing an honeycomb rom like asus transformer's?
[HTC Sensation] the_KIT:
When I got my set and open up to inspect, i realised that one of the holes on the back of Sensation doesn't have purpose at all (the hole on the right of the back speaker). This is quite saddening cuz I bought this with the expectiation that it has.... :(

I suspect that the dual mic might be actually removed in the final release. But I read at many places that the video recording uses the secondary mic to achieve stereo audio recording. So does sensation have the secondary mic in the first place? And secondly, does the video recording have stereo sound? :)

What do you all think? Many reviews mentioned that noise cancellation during calls r available thou....

I managed to email HTC support and this is wad they responded,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

With reference to your query, Sensation does not support noise cancellation ability , and if you nedd high quality voice during the call, we recommend you buy a good in ear earpiece.

[HTC Sensation] baymon:
I would love to hear more about this issue again if anyone has more information on it.
[HTC Sensation] kolyan:
also interested
[HTC Sensation] kolyan:
The silence of current users means there is no noise cancellation....... :)

sad, thats one of the main reasons i wanted one.
[HTC Sensation] OakNinja:
I really like my Sensation but speaker and microphone quality does not impress. I hope custom roms will solve this.
[HTC Sensation] kolyan:
whats with HTC and cheap speakers they use ? How hard is it to use something decent in their "state of the art" phone...

the more I read, less i want this phone, at least my HD2 is 100% unlocked and can run any OS there is....
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Their official press states Dual microphones for noise suppression.

http://htc-press.com/assets/PDF/Sensation4GSpecSheet-410.pdf

so where is the extra mic located?
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
well, there is stereo sound recording, so it could be using one of the microphones there.. although i'm not sure if the spacing of those mics is conducive to noise cancellation..
[HTC Sensation] MazMx5:
There are six holes on the backside of the case. Four of them appear to be used as aerials for the various radios. The hole next to the speaker seems to be unused.

I'm not sure, but the microphone appears to be on the bottom edge, adjacent the back release. Where is the second microphone, or are thye combined in one module?

If they are combined I doubt they would work for noise cancelling...
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
the US version has another antenna contact with the hole by the speaker grill
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
What about the hole above the back camera? What is that used for?
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
That's the other microphone. Pretty easy to see if you pull the phone out of the shell. Every other hole doesn't seem to go anywhere, the one above the camera has a little gasket on the device-side.
[HTC Sensation] dbirdflyshi:
Ism if anybody stated this yet Liz in too lazy to read them.

The holes on the back ate just where the rivets were located for.the intenna. Nice is on the bottom only
[HTC Sensation] Crimson Blades:
I'm not quite sure about what you are trying to say here.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Loved my HD2 too, but the Sensation makes it look like a Model T once you get it in your hand. Don't deny yourself my friend, the Sensation is the sh**!
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
So guys since it had been confirmed that there is a Mike above the back Canberra, it means that there is active cancellation
[HTC Sensation] the_KIT:
Ok.. So I believe that secondary mic is present... For the stereo recording at least..

But during calls, it really doesn't sound like active noise cancellation.. I've used Nexus one & S2, their noise cancellation works very well even on a busy street... :)

I mean I still love this phone but just a bit disappointed with some hardware aspects..
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
well check that out... never noticed the gasket.
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
I only noticed because I have the battery out like 20x a day

Hi guys,

I am currently using Ginger Blur 4.x but have been using this p-roms since 1.x one thing that I dislike about them is the change to the gallery app. The default gallery that ships with the atrix works better for me. Is there any way to restore it?

Specifically what is not working well is the way the Gallery stores pictures. I have many pictures saved on my device and when I snap a new picture I sometimes want to preview it right away but the Gallery neither lets me jump right to the picture shown in the frame on the camera nor does it allow me to change the order by which they are presented in the gallery which means in order for me to quickly look at a picture I just took I need to hit the gallery and scroll all the way to the right every time. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nineismine:
Ack just found the answer in the original thread for Ginger Blur.

Instructions as to how I did this:

-Download the Bloatware.zip from http://briefmobile.com/gingerblur-rom-for-atrix-4g

-Unpack the files

-Plug in your phone to usb on your computer

-set it to USB Mass storage mode

-Navigate to System/App from within the extracted folder structure.

-Copy the MediaGallery .apk file

-Paste it to your SDCard

-Unplug your phone

-Using a program like Rootexplorer navigate to your sd card and copy the mediagallery.apk (long press on the file in Rootexplorer)

-From your home directory in root explorer navigate to System/App

-Press the button at the top of root explorer that says mount R/W

-Paste the mediagallery.apk here

-Scroll down and find Gallery3d.APK and delete it

-Reboot your phone

Congratulations !

Thanks all
