[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xympa:
Sorry to thread jack this, but i didn't see the need to create a new one, i bought an unbranded sgs 2 and i have

PDA: XWKE2

PHONE: XXKDJ

CSC: OXXKE2

Seeing as the lite'ning rom is based on XWKE7 should i flash this firmware first? is this thread reliable, do these roms restore warranty :D?

I am also interested i hearing about backups for warranty purposes since this is my first flash.

NVM: i just realized those roms are rooted, where can i find stock ones, does anyone have a link?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaassema:
Just flashed from an unbranded i9100, Dutch edition (XEN) To Litening rom 1.4, without a problem - All apps remain, all localized settings remain; Done in a jiffy!

(btw: it was my first android-flash... w0000t! Coming from iPhone 3g, jailbroken)

(PDA: XWKE2 / PHONE: XXKDJ / CSC: XENKE2 - so almost like yours, only different localization)

Regarding your 'no-root'-question, and warranty:

-When u flash a custom rom, a counter goes up, assuring Samsung can check if u flashed custom stuff to your phone

-It does not matter whether you flash a rooted or unrooted CUSTOM rom: the counter is to check for custom flashes, not for root versus no-root

-It is uncertain but highly likely that Samsung will check the custom-rom-counter to deny warranty

-BUT: in-case-of-emergency you can reset the counter using a special USB-jig (cheap)

-BUT: there might be a 2nd counter (hypothesized, not proven as far as I know), counting the number of counter-resets using the jig (still following me?)

-The bright side: in the Netherlands/Europe the company you buy your phone from is responsible for the warranty, not Samsung; Customer rights are pretty tightly regulated by European law, protecting customers from companies denying warranty... As long as the damage is (reasonably) not due to the flashing, you're still good for warranty over here (in THEORY - try to explain this though to some dumbass uptight salesman)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xympa:
Thanks for enlightening me, but what if i don't like a feature in the rom and i want to flash back to stock, i can't find any definitive stock roms thread, other than the one i have mentioned in the post, which should be ok, since it's stock asides from the root, i'm gonna try lite'ning, have any favorite roms yourself?

I've never actually had a smartphone, i come from an iPod touch which is close enough :), always bothered me that i couldnt do anything with it, i consider myself an explorer :D

EDIT: Just flashed lite'ning, got a little bit scared cause it took a bit to boot, but everything's fine now :D

Noob questions

another hijacker! :) but relevant i think

Ok so iv just moved from a iphone to the samsung s2 and im loving it i have had it for about a week now and a iphone just feels wrong! lol im new to flashing android phones etc but have a lot of experience in jail-breaking and from what i have read and see it seems a lot easier to root and flash android phones! bonus! i have a orange samsung galaxy s2 ;

PDA : I9100KVKE2

PHONE : I9100BVKE2

CSC : I9100ORAKE2

Build info wed 11may

i have read all the root de-branding stuff . custom roms etc and i understand it to a degree but i just want to know where do i start? should i de-brand first using the page on the developers area then root then flash a custom rom? i wanna lose all this orange crap. plus is the orange firmware/rom available to go back to if i ever need to take it back? i would appreciate someones guidance on where to start. i quite fancy the lightening rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xympa:
Fortunately from what I've read so far, lite'ning won't "wipe" your data aka contacts, applications, etc. So all of your applications including orange applications should stay, about going back i can't help you, though i'm interested in hearing from someone who knows more about this.

You should know that just by updating to a version outside of your carrier's allow zone, you automatically lose warranty (custom or not, root or not).

Offtopic: Glad i bought mine unbranded, from i've read around the webz before making my decision, it's well worth the money not having to deal with carriers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sierra16:
but if you can restore it to the orange original rom stock and use the jig to restore the counters. if there isnt a hidden counter they wouldnt know,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingDude26:
Thanks all for the response. No issues in hijacking, i was going to ask those questions anyways :)

I have a rom that is specific for India (localization, etc), so when I into the Android Market I can see the price of the apps in the local currency. I havent bought one right now so dont know how the payments work.

Secondly, the warranty - thats a problem. If I flash it and have to take it back to Samsung for any reason I am stuck, especially when you know you might have a hidden counter.

So as much as I would like to go with Litenin ROM, losing warranty for me right now (since the phone is just couple of days old) doesn't make sense. I will rather wait for some more time till all info about GS2 is available before taking the risk.

Hello,

I bought a T3333 on a chinese website (i know it was a bad idea). It is pretty good except for the signal.

I have a very bad signal in general and sometimes even outside. It was windows mobile 6.5. When i returned it they said that it was a well known issue and the manufacturer knows how to fix it.

When it came back it has Android inside. I didn t know Android and it is great os but the signal is still the same.

I installed some applis about antenna and signal and i would like to modify the band frequency or the radio frequency because i suspect that it does not look for the good signal. I tried to enter the test mode (the *#46... thing) but it doesn t work.

I read a lot trying to find a solution and arrived at this forum. It seems that it is possible to change the radio rom but i did not find the one for Android:

Your device not is HTC original

Clone device is different. In this forum you can find only tips and tricks, rom and more for original HTC Touch2 Mega T3333. Your device is different for CPU, radio electronical components and more. I'm sorry but you can't find solution. You can try only to modify antenna of your device. I tried clone last year but i see device is more bad quality of electronics component. GPS on my clone for example report me movement 6Km/h but I not moving. Wifi scan report no networks but with HTC Touch elfin see four networks. GSM Signal is 30% low respect of Elfin or My Mega. I decided to change device because this issue not found solution. Is bad idea buy chinese clone because quality is very low. You can try in chinese forum only.
[Touch2 General] vagabondsolo:
ok. i dont know how i can modify antenna. This phone is great except for the bad reception.next month i will go abroad. I will check if i have better signal. If no, it means that i should get another phone.

I will try meanwhile chinese mobile phone forum.

Thanks anyway.

Hi, a simple question but a hard solutioon, I have an Onkyo amp, that i want to play music through using my phone , I have most connectivity ports on my amp so shouldnt be a problem apart from no USB .. but I cant find my best solution for my samsung galaxy s2.

Solution 1 *

Through 3.5mm Jack, = Yes it works but for some reason I dont get a decent bass, is this normal through 3.5mm jack?

Solution 2

Connect phone to xbox 360 use as storage device. = Works but I cant access my SD-Card, only Internal memory (most of my music is on sd-card)

Possible Solution *

HDMI Out = Not tried, would this work ??

Help me out guys, is there any other ways that would work the way I want ?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] vipaman:
Solution 1 is there cuz HDMI means u will have to us a TV and then connect it to the amp, So solution is ur only way out!!:D And don't forget to hit thanks (if I have helped u :D)
[Android Software Development] Devi0124:
Use the 3.5 jack.... set the eq on the dsp manager which if its not pre installed you can do a search for it on here. Get voodoo control plus and crank the volume.... should be your answer. That's my set up in the car and it sounds awesome.
[Android Software Development] duffy1807:
Hey tried this but didnt work the way I wanted it to, My samsung galaxy s2 kernal doesnt support voodoo plus, but the DSP, made a difference but still no bass.

realisticly i should of explained there is no subwoofer action as apposed to no bass ? my 4 speakers ( 2 front 2 back) work, (1 center doesnt) (1 subwoofer) doesnt.

Am confused where the problem is for having the subwoofer not working with 3.5mm

Is it because its on 3.5mm ??

doesnt my amp not support it? / Is it a setting on my amp???

Is it the phone ????

Just tested an Ipod on 3.5 and get the same responce so i guess its the amp or the 3.5 method??

, So am still unable to play music through my amp from my phone properly at the time... :(
[Android Software Development] duffy1807:
Hey, am confused to what you mean here :/ .. sorry
[Android Software Development] Devi0124:
Its a setting on your amp... mess with the surround settings. There should be a virtual setting. Onkyo's are pretty nice so I can't see it not having that function.

has anyone managed toget your 3 usbdongle working with your tf101?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AzMean:
currently, none of these USB 3G dongles work on the Transformer because they need drivers to work, but I guess it will be soon before someone figures out a workaround.

Best thing to do now is to get a MiFi device (D-Link & Huawei) has it. But costs a bomb about S$170 for D-link and $200+ for the Huawei one. FYI, this MiFi device is actually a mobile wireless router where you need your Data Simcard to be inserted into the device and it can be shared with other users (like a normal wireless router).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118639

I've tried these changes on my Transformer but I've been unable to get it working though I'm unsure if that's because the Wifi Transformer kernel doesn't contain the necessary bits or if I just haven't worked out what needs to go into the build.prop file.

I'm hoping (if no-one's cracked it before then) that the upcoming release of the 3G Transformer will add more pieces to puzzle.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sandman42:
But on the eepad does it necessarily require to connect to the docking station or is it possible to connect in some way directly to the tablet?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Matchstick:
The custom port on the bottom of the transformer is (amongst other things) a USB port and people have had success using a Female to Female USB adaptor to plug devices into the USB cable ASUS supply.

Asus are also supposed to be releasing an official adaptor to allow connection of devices without needing to go via the cable.

The problem isn't really connecting the USB modem it's working out what modules and drivers and possibly kernel changes are needed to get the Transformer to recognise the modem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cyberazi:
im hoping someone can get it to work..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Matchstick:
It looks like we need specific Kernel Modules for the Transformer to have any luck of getting this to work which will requires skills far beyond mine so I think for the moment we have to hope that one of the Transformer ROM devs decides this is work doing.

I'll happily put up a bounty of $30 for whoever can get 3G modems working properly on the transformer :)

Hi

I have installed the latest version of the Rom (Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest based on MiniCM) on my Xperia X10 mini pro. I found a problem. Byclicking on "Automatic Selection" in the settings menu of theAvailable Network, I observed the following result: the automaticregistration proceeds for several minutes and, finally, the followingmessage is displayed: "Error during data search".

The consequence of such an error is that the system does not switch tovoice roming if the main provider signal is lost.

Thanks for support.

Hi,

been reading up on known issues for my archos 101 and one kinda pops out and got me worried a bit: the USB going dead

I have an Archos 101 with latest fw for a week now and am reasonably happy with it.

I have the device not charing to 100% issue and also had my archos in a kind of rebooting-loop when in my backpack.

Battery thing doesn't bother me as battery life seems quite ok, and I didn't have the rebooting issue anymore ever since I switch off wifi when on the move.

I also have the problem that my canon powershot camera gets detected but that pictures aren't visible. My workaround solution of using an external usb card reader also isn't being mounted but I might try another one since the one I have is a very cheap and old one.

But as I mentionned the USB going faulty is the one that gets me worried since this is one of the main reasons for purchasing this device.

When browsing through the different forums and topics it seems quite a lot of people have (had) this issue but off course, people who don't have this issue rarely get involved in these topics and it's hard to determine the failure rate of USB's so I'm hoping a poll would shed some light on the size of the issue.

So please vote if you have (had) the USB faulty and please also vote if you never had any issues with it.

Please also comment with more info e.g. which board version, which FW version, stock/urukdroid, when did the issue occur (how old was your device), heavy or light usage of USB port etc

Thanks!

Cheers

[Gen8 General] berre:
I decided to put this topic on 2 forums indeed, point is to get a general idea. Forums aren't an accurate way of measuring these kind of things but until archos releases their internal replacement figures (probably around the same time as when pigs will start flying) it's the best we have I guess.

Sorry if I come across as "pushy" by posting this on 2 locations, I did that because of the fact that this issue has come up on both forums and maybe not all archosfans members are registered on xda or vice versa.

My camera used to connect and I could view the pictures, now it jsut says it's connected, but doesn't read anything on the camera. I used to use my 120gb Samsung S1 mini, now it just gives me a message that it requires too much power. If I use a powered hub, nothing shows on the screen, doesn't even recognize a drive connected. Used to work just fine this way. I can't think of anything being installed between it working and not that would cause this besides the firmware.
