[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] game1811:
I am on XWKL1 2.3.6 and i can confirm that my phone has been rebooting randomly. Even when I am talking on it, it suddenly rebooted.

Further, a week or so ago, i got a message saying that my USB storage was damaged and it forced me to format my USB and SD storage. Is this any problem with the OS?

I tried monitoring apps with Watchdog but it didnt turn up anything different.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digz6666:
Try to wipe your cache and reformat USB and SD card.

Turn of your phone, hold Home + Power off + Volume Up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolga9009:
This just temporarily fixes the problem. But after 1 - 2 days, everything turns back to normal.

My story: I bought 2 Samsung GT-I9100 in mid december 2011; they came with Android 2.3.4 (XWKI4, DBT). One was for my father, one was for me. My device just ran fine from day one on, but my father's device randomly rebooted. I had a 32GB MicroSD card installed, he didn't had any. We both used stock rom / kernel at the beginning, then I switched to RevoHD + DarkKnight Kernel later; I tried that combo on his device too, but the reboots didn't stop. So, I flashed the old bootloader + stock rom, resetted the counter and returned the device for repair.

Those technicians couldn't reproduce the bugs (of course they can't within 5 minutes...) and just reflashed 2.3.4 and sent the device back to me. I tested the device again: 2 reboots / day, so I returned it again. Notice: I did not install ANY apps or anything else. I had Google Sync deactivated and did not turn on / setup any WLAN; also, I countlessly did a factory reset after a reboot occured. Factory reset gave me only about 1 - 2 days of rebootless experience.

Again, they couldn't reproduce the reboots, so they flashed again 2.3.4 and sent the device back to me. They also said, that they won't inspect the device, if I return it again (*ROAR*). So, I waited for a firmware update: 2.3.6 came out in Germany (XWLA4, 2.3.6). However, the reboots got seriously worse; I got about 10 - 15 reboots / day. I was kinda forced to use Odin to revert back to XWKI4... I was just hoping / waiting for ICS. When I heard, that the german release will be delayed for another 3 weeks (first roll out at 15th march -> germany somewhen in april), I just flashed XXLPQ from poland, which included DBT. The reboots still occured -.-...

I reverted the faulty device back to 2.3.4. Btw: the working device had about 2 reboots in 4 months (seems to be normal), with lots of apps installed + custom rom / kernel. It might sound like a hardware fault, but I don't think that so many people would be experiencing the same hardware fault (which are unique). Both devices have identical manufacturing dates (Code "BB" - November 2011; Made by Samsung (so, Korea?). Since they seem to be from the same batch, a hardware fault by the manufacturing process can be ruled out. It might be a software flaw and the "style of use": I quite often call up the task manager and close all running apps and clear RAM, about 2 times an hour; my father doesn't do that at all. So, my theory is, that all devices have these faults, but only some people experience them, because not everyone close unused apps and clear RAM... Can someone here with the reboot bug test this?

As for my "faulty" device, I'll return it to the dealer and not to Samsung service anymore; let's see, what they have to say.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] game1811:
A little off topic...i tried wiping the cache by doing the Power + volume down + home button combination.

This is the 1st time i ever tried it. When i pressed it, the phone started up in Odin Mode with a "Downloading..." message across the screen.

Does Odin come preinstalled on a S2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolga9009:
It's the same on both of my S2's. You have to press "Vol. up", not "Vol. down".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] game1811:
Might have a breakthrough of sorts

So, i observed my phone for a couple of weeks after reporting this issue. I noticed that the phone used to restart only when it is connected to Wifi for a long duration.

On the advice of samsung customer care, i went into their service center who flashed Android 2.3.6 on my phone (resetting it in the process). The interesting thing they did is change my baseband version to I9100DDLP8 (build version is still KL1) which supposedly fixed the restart problem. However, that is not to be.

The phone now has some choppy Wifi - basically Wifi although it is connected and active doesnt download or upload data. After a while, the Wifi itself gets refreshed and the phone resumes its activity.

The restart problem does however, persists. I fear that it might be a hardware issue. Having said that, its been a day now since i havent connected my phone to Wifi for long duration of time. I connect to it, do my stuff and then disconnect it. Surprisingly, the Wifi disconnection policy doesnt seem to work on my phone.

All in all, with no wifi connection for long duration, the phone doesnt restart. I will still keep observing this though.

Another interesting thing happened, earlier, the OS didnt allow for OTA updates through my phone. It always use to give "Connection Failed" errors. I had to use Kies to do the update. After the flash, the exact opposite is happening, Kies tells me that i cannot upgrade the phone through it and i no longer get "Connection Failed" messages! Should i be happy or sad?

Anyhow, if someone has some solution for my wifi restart problem, pls do let me know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] game1811:

so, finally the service center came back saying that motherboard is faulty!! Potential buyers beware!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wacky2bakky:
I have rooted my new samsung fascinate after i got the newest verizon software update last week. I then flashed the rom, evil fascination 3.6. I am certainly liking it so far but want to try others. I am just asking anyone who has a sweet looking rom or theme they would recommend? I am looking for something that is stable as well as running smoothly. And definitley has to look good lol. Please let me know everyone!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
The other main option is Commuity ROM.

As for looks, go to the Themes and apps sub-forum. You can radically alter how either EF or ComROM look.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shakes The AssClown:
I love the CommRom but for me the battery life was horrible no matter what kernels I used.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINachtmahrII:

[Nook Color General] androidmonkey:
One of the first things I noticed about the NC was a faint grid of dots under the screen before turning it on. I also see a faint line making up the grid. Im guessing this is "normal" since its part of the screen. I never noticed this on other devices though. I dont notice it when the screen in on though.
[Nook Color General] timobriggs:
I have noticed this too. It shows if you turn off the screen and look at it at an angle under light.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
That is the touchscreen sensor, and is there on every capacitive device (whether or not you have noticed before is another thing)..
[Acer Iconia A500] Jun Austria:

[Acer Iconia A500] mt2020:
So far only for viewing. The CF files (shoot both Cr2 and JPG) are readable through a USB memory card adapter.

Don't think you can tether for remote shooting like a PC, no Android app from Canon.

Sure wish I could color correct the screen!
[Acer Iconia A500] Jun Austria:
I wonder if the DSLR can be connected directly via USB. But a card reader sounds a better option. Thanks.

I connected my Olympus epl1 to my Iconia with no problems. I used it to view photos and as storage when I ran out of space on the memory card. It recognized my camera with no problem.

Can you view canon raw file on the a500? If so, what do you use?
[Acer Iconia A500] agent888:
I tried hooking a Nikon DS3000 up to my A500 this morning with a direct cable. Using File manager HD I was not able to get to the device as external USB storage. Then I used a memory card reader and got to the pics no problem.

I saw someone program a 'photobooth' style app for the I ipad, would be cool to have that with android. I'd be 2/3rds the way to having photobooth equipment to rent out to weddings, I'd just need a printer.

[Acer Iconia A500] AZDR1V3R:
For canon dslr I use cr2 thumbnailer its awesome works perfectly to view and transfer, I would recomend not directly pluggin your dslr in to the tab, there's plenty of issues that could screw your camera up just use the card reader its like 5$ for one. Some devs could make bank off of developing things for dslrs i have plenty of ideas just can't create them.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jun Austria:
Hhmm? Is it because the Honeycomb creates new folder when ever an external storage is plug in? (I noticed this when I plug in my flash drive while testing the unit in the store).
[Acer Iconia A500] AZDR1V3R:
Yeah i mean could corrupt the cameras firmware or possibly wipe your SD card of all those beautiful pictures, computers aren't perfect. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] hjugo:
is it sutable for transfer pairs of jpeg+raw?

ipad, if you know, can import jpegs, raws or pairs jpeg+raw, shows them correctly (only 1 image per pair), remove pairs...
[Acer Iconia A500] AZDR1V3R:
Your talking about when you shoot and it saves both jpeg and raw, I havwnt used it this week but if I can remeber you can transfer any saved file, the jpeg and raw should be next to each other since theyd have the same file name just

Just download it. Very small app, they just came out with it so expect updates.
[General Questions and Answers] TheLandYacht:
Question from a noob just coming over from WinMo.

On WinMo (and all other previous dumb-phones), you had 3 different types of calls in your call-log.

Outgoing calls: That's obvious.

Answered calls: That's obvious too.

Missed calls: Anything that rings through OR gets "Ignored" (pressing the "end" key to ignore it)

But what I've noticed on my new Android (Sanyo Zio running Froyo) is this. In the call log I see the following.

Outgoing calls: Same as above.

Answered calls: Answered calls AND calls that are manually "Ignored"

Missed calls: Only calls that ring through.

Is this a "feature", or am I doing something wrong? Or is there a way to change this? I don't wanna have to "let it ring" just so the "ignored" calls show up properly in the call log.

I've confirmed with at least 3 friends so far (had them test it) that this is Android (at least 2.0-2.2) and not device specific...each of them had a different phone. Anybody know if there's a way to tweak this so it operates the way I've been conditioned to expect?
[General Questions and Answers] RoWeKo:
This is by design. Any "ignored" call is not missed - you just didn't want to answer.

Which behaviour is more precise, Android or WinMo?

RoWeKo
[General Questions and Answers] TheLandYacht:
I'd say...neither is precise. But the WinMo (& most previous dumb-phones before it) would appear to be "more correct".

While, if you ignored it, you didn't "miss" it...You definitely didn't "answer" it either. I define "answered" as "I picked up the phone and spoke to this person".

But definitions aside, anyone know if there's a work-around, a hack, an app, perhaps a way to just silence the ringtone without actually "ignoring" the call?
[General Questions and Answers] TheLandYacht:
OK. So lets call these categories then...

1. Outgoing

2. Answered

3. Unanswered (as opposed to missed, which apparently is misleading).

Again, any thoughts on a way to make this happen on Android?

Hi Guys,

Currently Running 2.3.3 I9000XXJVK and when i open the camera , where the picture is ment to be is Black and after a Few minutes it Says "Warning Camera Failed" My SGS is not Rooted

Ive Reinstalled 2.3.3 and Its still not working.

Do you have any Idea What I need to do to fix this?

If I need to root the device to fix this , Please link me to the Root Image Please

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spitfire22:
Anyone??????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lycan_codex:
if you dont have a long list of apps, why not try download JVP firmware..

when u r installing 2.3.3 JVK, r u doing it via kies or Odin?

if u r flashing thru odin, r u doing it through a 3 part package or a single .tar file ?

please try with a 3 part package, select .512 PIT file, click re-partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spitfire22:
There Doesn't appear to be a JVP Firmware for 2.3.3 - Im in the UK (Europe)

If i Use a 512.Pit File - is that re-installing the Phone from Scratch? - I think the Camera's Files has become Damaged - Would a 3 Part Firmware Have The firmware for the camera included on the formware?

the 512 pit files - are the ones on samfirmware safe to use? I supose where it says 512 pit next to the firmware name you use a 512 pit file?? on samfirmware??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lycan_codex:
yes, using re-partition is like reinstalling phone from scratch!

JVP is 2.3.4 firmware which was leaked few weeks back. For official stock one, pick a firmware for your region. make sure its a 3 part one. use the .512 PIT. There is a thread in the general section by RAMAD where he has listed almost all stock firmwares region wise. Download the firmware from there.

I am assuming you have 3e recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spitfire22:
This Didn't Work :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lycan_codex:
Can you please elaborate what you did?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spitfire22:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] burner07:
Man if you dialed *#34971539# and "updated" the driver you probably have opsbdd07 or smth like that ...

reinstalling a rom will not work..

1.so search xda for samsung wave camera firmware for sgs the copy the files with rootexplorer in a folder i don`t remeber the name but its camera related

OR

2.you can "brick" your phone and send it to a samsung/carrer service and tell them that when you woked up your phone stoped working OR tell them you did a hard reset and the boom the camera stopt working

i did both variants but finaly i sent my phone in service it worked:P

are tried vol up and power together ?? There should be recovery menu and reboot option.
[HTC Wildfire S] arunm:
Triangle with exclamation mark defines recovery mode, Going into recovery mode will never brick your phone as you have not flashed a boot image(improper one).

VolUP+PWR should bring to the recovery option screen, where you can factory reset your phone(if u want), reboot phone, wipe cache etc..

Since the evo has the availability of source code for everything(kernel AND roms, which Samsung doesn't give out rom source), has official gingerbread, and has a stable CM7 (after 100 or so nightlies, which is probably how it will be with the vibrant). I would say the EVO wins most definitely with developement (it is an incredibly powerful phone).

But I still love the vibrant for GPU, CPU, and screen. We are getting there development wise.
