Wrong = YES.

Instructions for recovery mode are always PWR + Home + VOL Up release Home + Vol up when you see the first splash screen followed by power .

At least you have found download mode .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grahamn214:
thanks

Thanks JJEgan and Souless88 it worked!!!

I guess what I am trying to do is more complicated than just putting my phone into recovery mode.

What I am trying to do is flash a new rom. I used to have a captivate and rooting it was way easier than this phone SG2. I am trying to put Cognition rom on my phone which I have already downloaded. Can anyone help me first root my phone???

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgn9000:
Before installing cognition, you should root your phone with insecure kernel as same version (or close) to yours.

The key combination you said in your first post is the Odin flash mode, this is the download mode to use with Odin in order to put a new kernel and/or a new modem version and/or a new custom rom... When you are into this mode, if you don't start flashing or downloading anything, this is not a issue to stop by pressing few seconds on power button.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grahamn214:
Thanks a lot. I finally figured it out!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grahamn214:
k so i got cognition installed without a hitch yay!! but when i went to use the stock email app, i need to re-register my gmail address which i understand BUT it keeps wanting me to register social hub so i click ok and i agree to the terms and conditions but it just pushes me back a screen and says you are not registered social hub user, to register continue to the next page. so i click ok and then everything just repeats!!! Anyone come across this before or can anyone help?

[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
So I accidentally selected an option to choose my ringtone and notification sound but there are no ringtones or notification sounds.

How can I reset the selection option so I can choose the right place to look for ringtones?

I have searched and this question was unanswered. Please help thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
You could get Zedge from the market and download/ set custom ringtones.

Or without wiping data, reflash your ROM if you're running a custom. That should reset it.

Sent from my time waster.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
It's unclear to me what exactly you did, but if you selected an app to perform this that won't do it, you can go to settings > applications > manage applications and find that app and clear launch by default.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Did not work at all for both methods. I wan't to be able to select the ringtones in my /system/media/audio/ringtones as well as my /system/media/audio/notifications.

EDIT: Fixed my problem. Had to wipe data to fix this problem. Must of had a bad ROM flash the first time. But no FC's or problems with my music or ringtones.

Basically i went into menu>settings>sound>phone ringtone and selected the "don't ask me again" checkbox and accidently clicked on an option that wasn't for my default ringtones. So now when I go into that menu my only option is "Silent".

Phone is not on silent though I still have a ringtone its just a regular ringer that I don't like and is set for both notifications and phone ringtone.

I actually got 9h 40m on 2% i was waiting to get 9h 45m before i took another screenshot just missed out by 5 minutes :( either way im happy to lose 1% for almost every 5h.

I fully charged the phone before I went to sleep unplug it and when i woke up i found i only lost 2%

using XXKF2 VillianROM 1.4
[Galaxy S II General] benivolent:
quick question, is that screen cap from the regular sgs2 or from a battery app?
[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
just normal regular sgs2 screen cap no battery apps used.
[Galaxy S II General] JanKull:

[Galaxy S II General] N-C:
Is there an app that compares actual battery usage as mA hours or whatever the relevant unit of measurement is?

These graphs are interesting but we can't see the actual battery usage as the % is misleading.

[XPERIA X10 General] speeee:
Hey all,

Ok so I'm having a bit of a problem with the market on my X10

Yesterday i had updates for the following applications

-Facebook for android

-Beautiful Widgets

-Whatsapp Messenger

-Plus a few games and ADW themes i had purchased

I went to download these updates and low and behold my battery is at overheating temperature and the phone restarts

(however much of a bas**rd this is, its not my main issue here)

Anyways

these apps i updated are stuck on the "installing phase"

There is NO option to cancel the installation

I have wiped the cache and data of the market from the applications menu

I even un-installed the market updates

none of these options worked so i thought stuff it, ill un-install the applications

Facebook un-installed and re-installed fine, no problems updated (winner!)

however whatsapp and beautiful widgets are still showing up in the market as "installing" even though the apps have been removed from my phone

Now i cannot install the apps because whenever i try to click on the app there is no option to download

could anyone shed some light on this situation for me please as i quite miss whatsapp and beautiful widgets =(
[XPERIA X10 General] kmaximax:
Have you tried clearing the market cache?
[XPERIA X10 General] Rockjock007:
have the same problem from weeks ago.. No soultion thus far. I have no cache to wipe as it does not show up in my applications drawer.

little orange ball with 30 in it.. and no market working.
[XPERIA X10 General] speeee:
To clean your market Cache and Data navigate to

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Scroll down select market and clear cache / un-install updates

If the market doesn't show in your Manage applications menu press the hardware options button and turn the filter from downloaded to 'ALL'

Although saying this i have done this repeatedly and still the applications are 'stuck in the market downloads page'
[XPERIA X10 General] Rockjock007:
did a wipe and still have the same issue running 2.1.1 and the market still has a orange circle any clues how to fix?

[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
So has this happened to anyone else?

You're exploring the handful of apps on your 3D that you haven't even gotten a chance to look at yet, and you find several that seem really cool, albeit a tad repetitive (here I'm thinking Dock, Media Share, Connected Media..etc.) and you think "wow, awesome, I can stream movies from this phone to my other devices" or "wow, awesome, I can transfer HDMI video from this phone to other devices"....

..and then you realize that to do ANY of these cool things, you'll need either for the other device (e.g., your PC) to be DLNA compatible, or else you'll need to go out and buy an HDMI cord...or else a docking station.

I guess this post is 1/2 complaint and 1/2 question, but to be fair I should ask the question before I complain too much: do I HAVE to have a DLNA/HDMI cable/Dock station to do some/most of these cool functions? I mean obviously I can copy/paste files onto other devices--or even doing so wirelessly using bluetooth, Samba, etc..---but it seems like the coolest functions all require stuff I don't have, and I guess I'm especially confused about DLNA since my laptop is a dell from last September...seems new enough to have supported DLNA...

Alternately, is there a workaround for DLNA? A program or device or add-on I can use to make my laptop compatible?

OK I guess that's my rant, sorry and thanks for listening...
[HTC EVO 3D] TxExige:
I'm no DLNA expert, but I think that any PC/Laptop running Windows that has WIFI can support DLNA, I'm pretty sure its just a matter of having the software.

Also you should be able to send data to your TV through a XBOX 360 or Playstation 3, I believe they both support DLNA.
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
All you have to do to make your computer work with DLNA is to go into windows media player, make sure WMP is in full screen, then in the tool bar click stream, then make sure "allow remote control of my player" is selected, and "automatically let devices play my media" is selected. then click" more streaming options" and see if there are any devices found, then make sure none are blocked. Now your done.

EDIT: make sure your all your devices are on the same wifi network for this to work ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Marc79SLC:
There's really only two major services for streaming, Airplay (Apple) and DLNA (Everyone else). You've got plenty of options as mentioned above including any windows device, ps3, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
Awesome ill try once my power comes back on ...thanks!!
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
Scotbot this is great! Now I can stream my media from my phone to my windows media player--very nice! I followed your steps, and then went into media share and enabled certain folders to be shared, and voila!

I guess the only better thing would be if I could actually use "Connected Media" to share with WMP--b/c then the phone would be the controller from what I understand. As it is, Media Share simply lets WMP access my phone, but Connected Media actually lets me play a movie on my phone that then automatically streams to other devices...I'm guessing that actually requires legit DLNA...?

[HTC EVO 3D] Nyq83:
I am having issues streaming movies wirelessly. I can connect to my TV using wifi and stream music, but when I try to do the same with the movies, I get an error message. Am I doing something wrong? I downloaded DivX movies, avi, and none work. What am I doing wrong? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] 87Octane:
You gotta give us some more details in order to help you out. What method are you using to try and stream movies? What does the error msg your getting say?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nyq83:
Streaming

First going to a Gallery. Selecting a Video. After clicking on a menu, and it gives you 3 options Trim, Select player, and Play in 3D.

Don't remember the exact error since I'm not at home at the current moment, but it pretty much says that this type of a file is not supported.
[HTC EVO 3D] c01e:
Common issue is that the program may not support that specific file type... There are a lot of ways to end up with a .avi file, some work better then others...

Try a .mpg or .mpeg ... If those types play fine, Its the file, If they don't either... Hard Reset. (most likely a jacked up codec or damaged media player program on the phone)
[HTC EVO 3D] Nyq83:
I have downloaded video formats .mpg and .mpeg

Did a Hard Reset, and still unable to stream

I get a message "The player is unable to play this type of file"

I don't know what else to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
I have had 100% success with .mp4 movies. Try encoding your videos with Wondershare or Handbrake using the H.264 codec (Best Quality) IMO.

Keep the files below 2GB - EVO doesn't like them any bigger. (could that be your issue? Are you trying to play files that are larger than 2GB?)
[HTC EVO 3D] Nyq83:
No, the movie is 1.95 GB.

I just want to be able to stream it without converting anything, from my phone on to my TV. (I have a SONY LED 3D 55" TV)

I even tried my PS3, and that didn't work. Maybe there is an app that streams any format?
[HTC EVO 3D] wormyMNT:
Make sure ur tv has DLNA, that's how its streams it. If ur tv doesn't have it then it won't work
[HTC EVO 3D] Nyq83:
Streaming

I can stream some formats of music and pictures, so I'm assuming if I can stream those, then my TV is capable for DLNA?
[HTC EVO 3D] netstat_EVO:
The 2GB issue is not that the Evo doesn't like it, it is a limitation of FAT32.

Not really sure what other file systems the phone will read, but if it supports ext2/ext3/ext4 then you shouldn't have the file size limitation any more.
[HTC EVO 3D] wormyMNT:
Then I would search the market for vid players that play all formats and try again. I believe arc media does
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisDos:
The 2GB limitation is currently a limitation of Android. FAT32 has a 4GB limitation.

There are bugs already posted about the 2GB limitation of Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] 19daniel87:
I'm having another issue. A couple days ago I could see my pc under devices named daniel-pc. Click on that (I'm within the music app trying to simply stream music from my shared folder on my computer) and I was receiving an error message saying something to the effect of I do not have permission to access this... Please allow access and try again. I don't remember the exact wording and I will post about that when I can get to it.

For now I have a different issue. I am connected to my wifi, I go to the music app hit the top evo 3d thing or menu -> select player and it simply buffers for a min then does not find my damn pc for some reason. I did a factory reset, no dice, hooked up via cable, ditto. I Updated profile and prl. I Did absolutely nothing different to my computer or router settings. I Updated my router firmware after not working which also did not help.

Btw my xbox which is hooked up via ethernet finds and plays daniel-pc just fine. My computer is not wifi its using ethernet to get to the router. As I sed earlier I could see my pc when going to select player so that isn't the issue. Thanks ahead. First post sorry for the length.
[HTC EVO 3D] dadda:
have u tried the media share app on the phone if that didnt work try tversity for your computer instead of your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] 19daniel87:
Media share works fine. As soon as I turn it on htc media share pops up on the left side of wmp. I can pull up my media from my phone easily. I'm trying to do the opposite and play files from my pc on my phone using the select player option. You can find this also by opening a picture up pressing menu then select player. if your on wifi now your computer should show up. At least that's what it used to do

can someone help me with this??

if you format the internal sdcard then you will not delete any system files because there aren't any system files on the sdcard.But you will lose your pictures videos backups and other files you might want to keep.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abhishek_turbo911:
Any help guys ? Of late , xda doesn't seem to be providing me with some useful solutions :-(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abhishek_turbo911:
And here we are , bumping once more.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jojojohnson7410:
Hi :) looks like you need help.

Well, I'd say there's not much in terms of apps that I know of that can do this all in one go (if anyone finds one, post it? If i find one, ill post it too), but I do know of a pretty simple way to do it:

1.) Using the built-in Contacts app or whatever other app that you want, export the CVS/vCard file of your current address book for your phone into your SD card.

2.) From here, upload it to your Gmail by either throwing the file into your computer and loading the file from your harddrive to their servers, or just do it through the mobile browser (if you have problems with the mobile website since I haven't tried this myself, try using Dolphin Browser HD :D definitely a great app)

3.) Viola! Everything should be synced and in order

It's true that this is not a one-click solution to your problem. There is one for HTC phones built into their ROM, but it has a bug which prevents syncing if you have the birthday field filled out or something like that. If you could tell me what phone it is, maybe I can help a bit more. In the meanwhile, I'll look for some apps. If you could make do with this for now, you should be good to go (though 3 clicks isn't really all that bad :))

-EDIT- Forgot to mention, you can also use that CVS/vCard file and easily just dump it into Outlook. Another 2 clicks, but it ain't so bad now, is it? :P

-EDIT2- Well, after a few more searches, it seems that Google is supposed to auto sync contacts 2-way on all phones with their gmail accounts associated with the device. I don't know if they apply to contacts you've gotten through Facebook, but it does seem to work for the most part. As for the ActiveExchange thingy, I think this app might suffice if you're willing to shell out a small bit of money: http://www.androidtapp.com/exchange-by-touchdown/ Didn't test the app myself, so ask around first and read up on it (Google :D).

If you're willing to shell out a good amount of money (hefty 25 buckaroos), here's a supposedly good app: http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-fea...-of-corporate-exchange-contacts-and-calendars

IMHO, if i were you, I would just stick to the whole 5 step process. Not sure if the ActiveExchange can accept vCards/CVS (never had to use it), but you save yourself 25 or so bucks. But, that's just my two cents on it. Your choice :)

~jojojohnson7410
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abhishek_turbo911:
Hey thanks for your help first off :)

I've a HTC Legend.

Ok , I get your point. If I sync it with GMail , will ALL the alternate contact numbers , group info , Facebook Profile pics , their birth dates be synced ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jojojohnson7410:
You have an HTC phone, so the contacts and stuff SHOULD be synced with your HTC account/google account too. Just in case, I'd double-check right now.

As for if it will back up ALL that stuff, the answer is yes. This is because vCards and CVS are able to handle various amount of data, so it should also be recognize by Google, at the very least (but its standard so it should also work with Outlook/whatever other program). The only thing that won't be synced is the facebook pictures only because they can change, but if you were to add your facebook account to your phone, it will automatically take care of this, so you shouldn't have to worry about it.

As usual, if you're willing to shell out a bit of cash, here's a solution to your FB photo problem. :) Hope everything works out for you
