[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinicius.carvalho:
Hi, I've just bought a Galaxy S2, and I was able to root and unlock it using the Odin and superoneclick

Problem is that even with Titanium backup I was not able to remove that 360 update and other crapware that vodafone pushes into the phone.

Is there an way around it? Or only by installing a cyanogen mod? I would like to keep the Samsung image if possible, just without vodafone crap.

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinHatch:
Hi all, this is actually my wife's phone. We both have an HD2 but I have "upgraded" mine to Windows Phone 7.. she wasn't too keen on that so is still running WinMo6.5..

We've had these phones for about 18 months and they've been going great so far, but today she moved all of the photos from her SD card onto her PC .. and ever since the photo gallery stopped showing any new photos!

Now there are 2 symptoms:

1) Taking a new photo with the camera does not show in the photo gallery.. looking on the SD card with file-explorer or the PC connection shows an empty image file (zero byte file size).

2) Copying an image file previously taken using the HD2 manually into the "DCIM 100Media" folder is ALSO not showing the Photo Gallery.

We have tried numerous reboots and have tried deleting the album.cache file.

She is in Scotland at the moment (I live near London) so I don't have exact ROM details but we did update to the latest official T-Mobile UK ROM about 2 months ago.

I haven't been able to re-install the OS (this only happened today) ..

so .. anyone got any ideas ???

PlsThxBye!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:
You can try this procedure:

- shut down the HD2

- remove SD from HD2

- connect SD to PC by using a card reader

- delete DCIM and Application Data folders

- insert SD in HD2

- power on and see what happens...

You might check that card for system file errors while it's still plugged in.

you might lose some data if that's the case

Can we use a TiBu backup folder from the Captivate on this device? App and app data only.

Are the drivers the same for the SGS 1 since Kies appears to be the same...

[HTC Sensation] samkraju:
I got a new HTC Sensation few weeks back and I found a problem with the Camera and Maps application. Whenever the phone is connected to a wireless connection, both the applications crashes and reloads continuously. And when I turn off the wireless connection, both the applications work fine.

Anybody else facing the same issue or knows any solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Problem with sending & receiving SMS from PC

I have used in the past several apps to send & receive texts from my EVO using my PC. I know have the Thunderbolt and the apps won't work any more. Almost like the Thunderbolt has a built in firewall. RemoteSMS, EasySMS, are just a few I have tried. All the same result, whether I use usb or wifi. If I ping my phone I get destination host unreachable. I know I have the right IP and connectivity. Is ICMP blocked and more importantly is there a way I can let these apps work with out Root. The apps are on the Market and don't say you need root for them to work. They do all work over http or https, and you can change the ports, but it's like there is a firewall in place on the phone blocking on them. Can anyone please help????? Thanks in advance for your time. Have a good 4th of July!!!!

~I am not looking for Google Voice or other apps that use a third party broker service. Just to simply control my phone's SMS from a PC when I am in the office or at home work on a computer. Thx Again.....

This seems to be a daily occurance with Verizon being down on data, no 3G or 4g for hours!!! I was with All-Tel and now Verizon and very very disappointed with this service. This will be our last time to renew our contract!! This is unacceptable service from a big city such as Phoenix. This is not just in one location its all over dam city! Lots of people are posting the very same issue across the whole us. I guess its due to growing pains, so kick back some money to the users that are being screwed paying top $$$ for a service that half the time is down. Hoping others post here and other forums of the awful service being received from Verizon.

I would like to change the boot animation on my phone but I can't get it to work.

I've tried putting the .zip file in system/media and data/local but nothing works.

I use cognition rom 1.07. It seems to be either a samsung/cognition software thing... I think. I've asked in the cognition thread to but no one has replied.

Could some one please help me and then I can turn this thread into a boot animation help thread :)

I have attached the zip I'm trying to make my boot animation to

Both myself and my husband are on stock JVH that we downloaded through kies, we are stock everything and not rooted, but both of our phones have rebooted themselves for no reason, we only noticed by the sound when rebooting. this has happened to me twice and once for my husband.

Has anyone got and ideas why this would happen. we have both cleared cache and factory reset,and we have both formatted our internal sd. we are on O2 in UK

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
You can try but this is due to crappy firmware almost certainly, or a bad app causing conflict, remember also your sgs is a computer, and I've never had computer that doesn't hang occasionally! Samsung use an outdated file system called rfs, and this is a major source of lag and reboots, which is why so much hacking has gone on around this device. Most people at least root and flash a custom kernel in order to convert fs to ext4 (known as enabling a lagfix) though this will void your warranty, but that can all be reverted again easily. Having said all this, it is a learning journey, and takes time to gain the knowledge.....hope this helps your understanding a bit :)

While using it, I faced minor problem, when I press home button for selecting option it jumps two steps inside as if pressing a hard button. I mean after entering the first option it enters the next menu also. But then after trying 3-5 times carefully, I get the option that I want to select. Just check if you have this problem. Anyways this is not a major issue for me as I can save my phone :D and it is alpha release so does not matter at all.

FROYO Version: I didn't find any problem.... it seem stable.... but let me know.

GB Version: Have to test it better since i didn't try it, only builted without test. By the way the GB rom is very uncomplete so certainly i will work on it but when the definitive vesion will be released (with ext4 support i wish) we can have something better.

Now, for 1/2 days i cannot work on this so please send PM to me if you find issue ONLY FOR FROYO VERSION.... for GB simply wait.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Rest up on it chief, You did a big job today.

As for the FROYO. It got past datadata and into .Android_secure,cache,sd-ext. Guess it's too early to work on the GB project, Probably keep it on hold for now till a stable one releases this month

@ephra - Yeah, It automatically roots :D Wootwoot

Edit: The ROM Management seems to be working, But launching apps is far off from the video shown on Juwe11's. Wonder if its a FROYO thing?

Thanks a whole bunch skin for porting CWM. Now i got a question for all of you.. Now that we finally have CWM on our devices, do you think my phone will now be able to do my laundry??? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I can probably see why Skin chose to let the storage location be in External_SD, The phone's internal memory wouldn't be able to hold it all I guess. This being for the curious ones who are wondering why external_sd instead of sdcard.

Just be sure on regular backups that you delete older ones, or have a larger 3-4th class MMC.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
Misledz dude this is where i was suppose to make that post.how dumb of me.i have ext sd swap mod.so would havin a modified vold somehow cause any prb for me if i flashed cwm now?or do i have to restore the original before flashin cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I can't really vouch for that, But theoretically if you swap internal memory with external_sd. Skin set CWM to backup into external_sd, Even thought it says Sdcard. *He mentioned it in his first post* The phone's internal memory is about 1.5GB, In terms of usable memory. Backups usually end up about 2.4GB *as shown on my previous screenshot* So the backup would end up reading your phones internal memory as external memory. As someone previously posted that as he reached datadata in backup phase [He, like you is a custom vold.fstab user], Phone probably didn't have enough Internal phone memory and aborted the backup process. So yeah. Although I might have to prove that theory.

Edit: Turns out in the FROYO, If you use a vold.fstab for swap, The same error occurs and runs out of internal memory space [By this point it's safe to assume datadata already crosses the 1.5GB benchmark] . Flashing won't be a problem. But the problem occurs when you attempt to backup all data. But if you wish to flash it for recovery purposes, It's safe as are most of Skin's works.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@Skin1980,

After flashing the CWM. I lost root access..Applications like root explorer or TB, are not getting root access.

Is this bug observed by anyone here or its only me who has this problem?

However adb is having root access, but this is what I see in adb

C:\Users\>adb shell
~ # mount -o remount rw /system
mount -o remount rw /system
~ #
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Your right, I absolutely didn't notice that..Wow. Here's some screens for proof too.

Edit: Turns out, I've lost root privilege's. I tried using SOC, and it work's temporarily. But as you restart the phone there's still no root.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Nice work dude you have done a great job
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gamer2:
XXKP9

Tried it on XXKP9, working brilliant!!! Thanks Skin!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
The same for me.

Please take note :

when I use SOC and try to install the Font Changer Root Lite app (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/font-changer-lets-you-change-android-fonts/), I am asked to install BusyBox on the market, and the next screen is a warning message :

"If the rom you are using has a version of BusyBox installed to /sbin, or any where else that gets reloaded upon reboot, then this apps will NOT work. Tell your ROM maker to put BusyBox where it can not be removed.

You must have Nand unlocked to use this app and you must have RW access to your phone".

It might be the reason for the root failure when restarting the phone?

Font Changer works well when I reflash the alpha CWM recovery, and the same problem still happens when I reflash again with the beta one.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Pralinos, But according to tripin's post when he checked on adb shell, It show's the phone is rooted. And shows R/W. Problem is the app's aren't recognizing that its rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Can't it be possible to be rooted and not having BusyBox at a suitable place?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I'm a little confused aswell. I wen't about playing with SOC to check if it would get rooted. And it gave successful root display. But titanium refused to work despite saying it was rooted. So i rebooted again and tried to launch Root Explorer, but that failed too. I confirmed with adb aswell and it shows that it is rooted, I don't think the busybox is a problem, It's probably being read from the wrong area perhaps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Really strange. On my phone with a SOC rooting, ES root explorer, mybackup root and gps aids are working.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Did you restart after SOC? :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nurseto:
I use modified vold.fstab when full backup. The backup file is saved on my additional sdcard(which is changed to internal sd after modified vold.fstab). How it can be? The backup file is supposed to be saved in external sd right?

Datadata failed to be mount automatically or manually,it is not because low free space.
