[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willbuh:
Hi there.

I have asked the same question several times in Chains thread now but had no replies from anyone for some reason, so thought I'd ask here instead.

Basically, I want to root my phone but keep the stock rom and have clockworkmod recovery so I can flash a new rom (MIUI when it's stable), but not too sure what to do. After speaking to samjpullen he pointed me in the direction of Chains thread. For what I want, is this the right thing to do?

If so, I already downloaded the Odin thingy. But I need a .tar file which I think must be the CF-root downloads further down in the thread. If so which one do I need? And is there anything more I need from there?

Sorry for the long question, just want to be safe doing this. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harolds:
In phone type *#1234#, note the last 3 characters from each line (they will all be the same). Use odin to flash the same file from Chains thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Pick one to match your firmware and region .

Flash through Odin as PDA only .

You now have stock rom with non stock rooted Kernel and CWM .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willbuh:
So after I have entered that into the dialer, do I use the last 3 characters of the PDA one for the cf-root download? KE2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yep KE2 root .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willbuh:
Thanks a lot!

What are the consequences of flashing the wrong .tar file?

edit: nevermind, I went ahead and did it anyway. I don't know why I worried so much, it was so easy and done in a few minutes.

I want to use the Cognition Rom and its based on KE7. My phone is KE2. Can I flash the KE7 kernel from CF-Root and then flash the Cognition Rom?

Didn't work for me. I've added 3D to the front of the title and also to the end of the title and it still come up with split screens. These are movies that I've converted with Handbrake so I don't know if that have something to do with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] blakejohnson86:
3D movies that are tagged with the video/mp4-3d mime type open up directly in 3D mode. The ones that are converted with Handbrake are just tagged as video/mp4. Having this knowledge, does anyone know how to tag them as video/mp4-3d?

the movie that you have is top/bottom 3d and not side by side 3d.

Anyone figure out how to add the 3d tag to videos. its pretty annoying when i convert my movies for my phone and cant have it automatically switch on the 3d screen

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] pravendrakumar:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] V!KR@M:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dilzo:
Firstly you convert your jar and jar file to one apk file using netmite then you install the apk and then you use J2me to open and run that apk.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] arun356y:
I guess we can use java emulators. One such emulator is jbed.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Original Android <3ers!:
I keep trying to play these games, but on N.O.V.A. 2 HD it gets to a certain loading point when I hit continue and then it stops loading, lags for a few minutes, and then vibrates to a Force Close. On Asphalt 6 I just get some lag and then a black screen right when I launch it. However, I also believe the problem could be that I'm on EF02. While I do not mind downgrading to FroYo, I don't want to do it unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm on the Deodexed EF02 ROM with Tw4Launcher and the SGSII Icons, but I'm using ADW.Launcher EX and WidgetLocker. Thanks.

EDIT: Do these apps check the Market to make sure I have a license for them? I know Asphalt 6 goes straight to a checking license screen so I think it might be pulling some SPB-Shell 3D swag on me and checking to make sure I bought the apps. But at the same time, I don't know if the other one does it. N.O.V.A. 2 HD was working last night and I was playing it, but then it froze and I'm still having problems with it after multiple reboots and all. ROM change time?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davehries:
Hi,

I am trying out the Galaxy Tab and I find it to be rather nice to use. However, I have encountered an issue that I have not been able to resolve. I have a favorite web site that I go to at least once a day. It displays poorly with the text over writing other text, to the point it is almost unreadable. The default browser offers the option of Mobile or Standard. The site opens in mobile mode and so I selected Standard and the page gives we an error 404, if I remember correctly.

The other issue is, I need to open a link on the site page that displays a PDF document and another link that plays a MP3 audio file, while staying on the web page. The Galaxy Tab will not allow me to have both open. If I have the PDF file open, I can't get to the MP3 file. If I have the MP3 open, I can't open the PDF without closing the MP3.

I wonder if the site needs Java or some other software to make it display and function correctly? Any ideas what I could be doing wrong.

Strangely, My wife's iP#d1 handles this site with ease. Also, my Google Cr-48 handles it just fine. I am at a loss to figure this out. If I can't solve this problem, the Galaxy Tab goes back tomorrow as I am tired of messing with it.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OgremustCrush:
I've noticed a few pages the stock browser renders odd, such as quoted text here on xda. Opera mobile works fine, scrolls smoother, and doesn't have text input lag. I'd recommend it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davehries:
Thanks for your reply.

I tried Opera, Dolphin HD and Beta 6, Maxthon and of course the default, Chrome. They all produced the same result. So far, only Safari renders and allow the PDF and the audio file to run concurrently. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
care to share the two sites hence we can try a work around. try typing the command about:debug in address and hit go. New options will appear in settings, try changing the uid to desktop and rendering normal and disable wide page display. Just for a try!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davehries:
Thanks for the good tips. Those changes made the browser's display much better. It got rid of the garbled text. Question, will these changes remain after a re-boot or do I need to reset each time?

The other issue of not being able to have multitasking while on the subject site remains. The site that I am trying to fully access is www.torahclass.com. When I select the link to open the audio file and then open the PDF the audio quits. I cannot get back to the web page. If I am on the web page, I can't get back to the PDF.

I just spent one hour at Best Buy and they had five different phone/tablet knowledgeable staff take a turn a making it work. No luck! I asked if it would work on the HP TouchPad and their response was no. However, they claimed the multitasking could be done on the Playbook. We were not able to test their hypothesis due to the fact that the Playbook did not have access to their wi-fi.

So, I am beginning to think that this is an issue with Android and WebOS that remains to be solved by Google and HP. I like the Playbook, but I am concerned about RIM's future. Owners might end up with no support from the mfg.

Anyways, thank you both for your help.

[Xperia Arc General] gunawan-1:
I miss my arc very much since 2 months ago for SE Service Centre to fix it because it is still in garantee period. But why does it take so long. Quite despite actually. I just used it for a month and it broke and not yet finish fixed.

I live in medan, indonesia. Really hope someone can help by communicating to who responsible or in charge in indonesia. Thanks

What exactly happen with your arc?

I charged my ARC and the power did not increase but the phone get heat. After that it won't charge any more till the batt power get out and dead.

Can some one point me where I should complaint to? I don't know when my ARC will be back.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
First thing is you must contact SE center where you repair your arc, 2 months without confirmation or information sounds very weird. Well if I have my phone repaired and didt'n get any words within 1 week I'll start to contacting that SC.
[Xperia Arc General] gunawan-1:
I already ask them,but they answer still on jakarta because medan doesn't have the spare part. They will let me know when it is done. But the question is when. How longest time it takes to fix a phone usually?

[Xperia Arc General] gk_terato:
go post on the SE support forum and hopefully someone will help u there. Like this guy: http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/15340?tstart=60
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
why SE center Medan sent your arc to Jakarta to be repaired? I think the common way is to send the spare part to Medan from Jakarta than bring your arc to Jakarta which is riskier. Well, nothing you can do right now except wait. :D

Longest time to fix a phone? my experience is one week. Shortest time? 4 hours, and it is happen in Jayapura :D

When I have made a mistake in rooting or loading custom rom? What are the risks of loading a rom?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
1% of a bad flash rising to 100% if instructions are not followed for the relevant rom .

Risk of not being able to recover to a working phone almost zero most bricked phones only require reflash of firmware .

According rumours we have read previously, Sony Ericsson is going to throw another awesome update in Octomber. They already did good job on their 2.3.3 update and ported bugs and fixes from 2.3.4. Hats off to them!!

Now What do you still want them to include in next update? Any bugs left out unfixed?

Personally, I want Sony Ericsson to Include Twitter and Google+ (if possible) ingratiation. But it also shouldn't slow down the phone or contact book.

I wish Sony Ericsson would include an option to control ISO, (JEPG) compression, Color Combination (and effects like B&W/Sepia and Vivd), Panorama (beta?), Last.fm Scrobble support for default player (it's so sexy other than powerAMP), and of course gTalk video calling using rear camera too!

I really hope to link this to Sony Ericssons' Twitter accounts, fan pages and emails for their attention (by August).

Activism!!!!

To be honest i would rather let them fix EVERY issue they have on Xperia Arc, than removing Facebook integration.

If you want it removed find a way to root your phone in 2.3.4.

In 2.3.4 all known issues must be solved.

And if they could make TTS/Map/MtpApp and all those apps/services to stop unless they are needed,

it would have been awesome.. Killing apps/services every 2 min is so boring.
