Any Solution for this ???????????/

I have the same problem? Anybody can help????/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
A couple of weeks ago, my SGS II crashed really badly and affected my phone in that I kept getting force close messages as well as "System UIDs Inconsistent" ones plus I couldn't access the partitions within my phone in Windows Explorer even though the phone was recognised by it.

It looks as though I may need to do a factory reset which to me is going to be a pain in the ass especially where videos and MP3's are concerned.

Another problem is that even though I installed VillainROM and followed the rules to the letter concerning its installation, supposedly I didn't install the system recovery that was unique to it and which would have made things a lot easier for me.

I don't even know if there is a way to backup data from the partitions to a 16GB or bigger micro SD card within the regular system recovery or not.

If I do need to a factory reset, are there any Apps out there that will let me recover data from the internal partitions as long as I don't write over the lost data concerned? (I know there's software available for PC that does something similar with data stored on hard drives)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well on Cutom ROM you can use Titanium Backup Pro for Backup and Restoring. On Stock ROM's even Kies would do.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
That's the irony, I actually had Titanium Backup installed on my VillainROM custom ROM and I'd even bought an upgrade to the Pro version but for some reason, it wouldn't let me upgrade to the full version even though I had a license for it that I paid for, and as a result, it wouldn't let me do a full backup without having to do it slowly.

If I did reinstall Titanium Backup and managed to get my problem sorted out, would it recover deleted data or not?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Titanium Backup would only restore what it previously backed up.

The most easy way would be to just dump your data partition into a tarball (given you have root access on your phone).

Just hop into a terminal or adb shell and do

su
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/data.tar.gz /data

That will give you a full .tar "backup" of all the data on the internal data partition.

Restoring that to app after a wipe and reinstall can be a bit pain in the poo, but it's better than nothing - and a recovery of previous files after a wipe would at best give you the same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
How do I go into a terminal or adb shell? I'm using Windows 7 if that's any help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
For Terminal install a Terminal App from the marketplace on your phone and run it directely on it.

ADB you get from the Android SDK.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
I take it that once I do the factory reset on the phone and install a Terminal App on it via Android Market, I just need to run the command that you recommend that I do and I should be able to recover the data that was on my partitions, pre factory restore?

(Apologies for asking all these questions as I'm still a newbie when it comes to Android and I'm just pissed that this happened in the first place because of the overheating that caused it to happen in the first place)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryptoner:
What if I select advance restore in CWM recovery and restore data? Will it affect the flashed rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
No, you run the command BEFORE the factory wipe and use the tarball you got to restore any data you still need.

Should work too, but depending on *what* borked up the install (might be some setting/config/piece-of-data somewhere) it will be restored as well - but definitaly worth a shot and pretty much "a must" to do those backups (I do them regulary).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
No program is free without compromise. If you factory reset without backup, there is not much you can do to recover deleted files. That's why such warnings exist before reverting back to a clean state.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma11221:
You can try a Recuva download the program connect as storage device and try to scan :) Hope it helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Recovery programs such as recuva work best on magnetic media such as pc hard drives. Flash storage on mobile phone are different as there are no moving parts, so recovery is not that easy. There is also a much higher likelihood of corruption on flash storage too when restoring deleted files, so that's why there is really no 'best' method for recovery.

How to Recover Deleted Data from Android after Factory Reset

When you perform a factory reset on Android, you will return the device to the condition it was when shipped from the factory. A factory data reset can help fix most issues that occur on Android. Any incorrect settings, glitches, bugs, viruses, or software problems on the device will be wiped clean.

But the files deleted from an Android phone aren’t actually wiped from its memory. Instead, the files are only marked as deleted and invisible. The system will write data over those files in the future. You can later use specialized data recovery tool to scan the Android memory for deleted files and try to recover them.:cowboy:

Got any tips on what software?
[Desire General] TheRealSlimDesire:
Hi after days of searching the internet I have finally realised I need to post here and ask for help, sorry if this has been posted before though as I have really looked hard everywhere!

Anyway, after flashing a RCMix rom my desire started to drop calls as soon as I either picked up or answered one and only ever rarely got 2G signal in what I know is H signal zones. I changed roms but the problem persisted and after countless hours of searching and trying my sim in other phones, I have deducted that it is my desire which is the problem.

So I'm going to take it back to a t-mobile store, as I were unrooting using the RUU exe I got the 140 error, my phone will no longer boot but still has bootloader, fastboot and recovery working! Is my phone bricked, I can't find any help anywhere on how to put my desire back to stock :(

Please could any of you shine some light onto my situation?

Many many thanks
[Desire General] waterstof:
You have recovery? Did you try installing another rom to make the phone work again?

After that you can try to unroot it again, I think...
[Desire General] TheRealSlimDesire:
Okay, I will try installing a froyo rom now, will post the results of a second unroot...
[Desire General] TheRealSlimDesire:
Right very strange indeed, just flashed AceSMod007 and signal problems have seem to have gone away (although I had tried this before with many roms - maybe the unrooting process fixed my phone somehow?)... so this means there is no need to unroot and send back to t-mobile, hmmmm all seems to good to be true! thanks for the help though, wouldn't of tried flashing another rom if you hadnt mentioned it :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt.xx:
Hi all,

I'm new to flashing custom ROM's and had recently flashed the RCMIX S v2.01.

I really like it, but found that it couldn't keep up with what I was doing - noticed some considerable lag.

I'm currently using the 4GB Class 2 Micro SD that came with the phone, but wondered if a higher class would speed it up a little?

Here's a link to the ROM in question: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988570

Not sure if it's just the limitation of the Desire maybe?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chiller89:
Ya, I would think that a higher class card would make a considerable difference, but that also depends on which version of the ROM you are using, if you are using a A2SD version of the ROM which uses an sd-ext partition, then it would make a considerable difference, however a version of the rom which is not using sd-ext, may not be effected much by a faster card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt.xx:
Thanks for your reply.

I was using the RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD+_BravoHboot - I had previously created a FAT32 & EXT4 partition.

I'm assuming that by default the ROM will work with the SD (without extra configuration)?

I also noticed the available RAM was quite low (around 40MB) I think - I guess I may not have set it up correctly?!
[Xperia Play General] Ahmed_PDA2K:
Hi All,

So I just got an Xperia Play recently for a bargain price!, and Im loving it! ;)

Just looking at it this way with Mario running on it, makes me feel good:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

By the way, I work at Nokia MEA, showed it to some employees here, and they were impressed! o_o

I got it because few years ago I thought about a similar form factor for a Mobile device, even designed one on my own...

So, as soon as the rumors were confirmed about the Play, I decided I MUST get one.

I wish they included a Dual-Core CPU in it, I know the current is enough for gaming, but more is better, specially for emulation.

Other than that, it is awesome...

Oh yeah, about the speaker sound quality, It is phenomenal!!! It is LOUD and CLEAR, I was amazed when I listened to some songs, they did a great job on the speaker.

One major let down is the built quality, I think its abit cheap, specially for this price tag.

Those were my thoughts about the Xperia Play for 2 days usage, can't wait to play on it more! :)

BR everyone!
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Yea, tis a cool phone. Emulation is second to none on a mobile phone at the moment.

You should take the shipping screen protector off your phone. There is another screen protector fitted underneath.
[Xperia Play General] Ahmed_PDA2K:
loooool, you noticed?!

Yeah, I just removed it...and also the one behind :p

Its a nice thing to find those kind of simple things included, it is always appreciated! ;)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I must agree with you, before the play my only non HTC smartphone was the Toshiba TG01, i hated it and swore i would never buy another non HTC device, when the play came out it thought **** it, and ive never regreted it, playing games on the play is awesome even compared to my friends SGS2, It's a shame sony decided to include such little ram though, im not too bothered about dual core CPU's to be honest, cause i think the quallcomm scorpion/adreno is a more than capable CPU/GPU combo, but i think with 750mb+ of ram the play would fly :)
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
I love my Play but I don't play nearly as many games as I thought I did, so I'm trading mine for an Atrix.

I ship it tomorrow. *sobs*

adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
I love the speakers in the Play, best I've heard out of any cell phone. And I love the emulators, I love playing those old games, they really are the only ones I can keep playing over and over again. I honestly don't game a whole lot, but when I do, I absolutely love my phone. It'll be extremely hard to upgrade to a newer but keypadless phone, let me tell you.
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
yeah, some of the build quality isn't that great, and I really would have appreciated some more internal storage and a bump to 768MB of RAM... but even so...

I can see myself keeping this device long past the point where I have moved to another phone as my mainstay. I'll turn off the radio data, just use WiFi and play all the emulators to play my old NES, SNES, Genesis, GB/GBA, and PS1 games (I still have a couple dozen discs around as I never sold them off. I still also have dozens of cartridges around, and an old GameGear sitting around too). I certainly wouldn't mind replaying FF Tactics a couple times. Let alone Chrono Trigger and the old FFs. Maybe some Contra and such...

So this will be one of those devices that I will keep for emus and other fun long past when it is outdated otherwise.
[Xperia Play General] Ahmed_PDA2K:
Same here, i feel like this one WILL stay for a long time, at least until they release Xperia Play 2

;-)
[Xperia Play General] Shaun27:
I absolutly love my play yea some of the build quality is nt great but nothing else touches it or even comes close to it in terms of mobile gaming .i had to to a 3 hour train jerny so I slapped on resident evil 3 on fpse the next thing I new I was 10 mins from my destination the time flew by love the experia play
[Xperia Play General] JasonKnight:
I have been noticing it has some amazing battery life to it as well. I played Chrono Trigger on it with the SNES Emulator yesterday while I was at work for about 6 hours straight, it was a dead day at work, and when I was done I still had 45% battery life left.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
I wish I could play games for 6 hours of my work day :p

But yeah, phenomenal battery life
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
6 Hours lmao. Very cushy job ;)

I enjoy seeing people assaulting their poor phones screen when playing games or emulators. I then just whip out my phone and slide out the gamepad :D Priceless.....
[Xperia Play General] crispyduckling:
touche' my friend...touche'
[Xperia Play General] Shaun27:
it just owns touchscreen gaming its in a league of its own ill take a single core with gamepad over any daulcore with touchscreen
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Game support from Android devs is not that bad either...

Gameloft alone has 17 games that support the Play controls, I'm hoping very soon the 18th game will be Order and Chaos :D
[Xperia Play General] JasonKnight:
Wanna know the real kicker???

I sell Verizon Wireless products... Boss sold me this phone because of the higher profit margin she makes on it compared to the other devices. Got it at her cost of like $400 (since I have to provide my own phone when you have a dealer plan.)
[Xperia Play General] Ahmed_PDA2K:
Yeah, as you guys mentioned, the battery is damn good.

Many of my friends were impressed with it, specially gamers!! ;-)

[Galaxy S II General] well0549:
Hello I just switched from HTC Desire (very good phone) to the SGSII (Better)...

And i am quite happy with my desicion. I have only two things that are a problem right now.

1. I am missing the Sense Mail widgets.

2. GPS Inaccuracy.

So my questions are:

1. Mail widget...

I am looking for a mail widget that binds to a specific account. So i have 4 email accounts and i want to bind the widget to one of them.

So if I want to use all mail accounts I will have to place 4 widgeds and configure them for each maill account. And preferebly they should show the subject.

2. GPS inaccuracy in Navigon

I was driving a road and where my desire had pinpoint accuracy, the Sammy thought I was about 60 meters to the right, and started to bark all kind of instructions to get back to the road (where i already was on)....

So anybody can help me? (Need mail widget the most) the widgets from launcher pro are what i need but I wat to jump to the correct mail client (that shows the message as it should be) Launcher pro has it's own mail renderere and that's not what i want.
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
The GPS in SGS2 works very well for me, so that is not a general issue.

But maybe the circumstances were bad at the time, you can only compare with Desire if you had it with you at at the same time, because satellites are moving and weather is changing etc.

Did you have big buildings close to the roads? That can cause disturbances.

Do you have A-GPS enabled? (enable "use wireless networks" in Location settings menu).
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Can you explain why you would not want to push all your different email accounts from where-ever to one Gmail account and only use that one?! There should be plenty of gmail widgets on the market.
[Galaxy S II General] well0549:
1. Hotmail is my privat email.

2. Exchange is corporate with required pin

3. Gmail = rubbish mail....

So I only want to be notified when I receive a Private or corporate mail....

and if i look, i want to see private or corporate depending on what I am doing.

Maybe I am a bit old, but i don't want a unified inbox. I want it organized as it was on my HTC.

I could do thi son my HTC without rooting and it worked like a charm....

I Really like the speed and screen of the SGII but i really do miss my Sense widgets...

I have spend a lot of money in the appstore opnly to get this functionality, I tried a lot, Pure Messenger widget and everything... Needed root, but could not read my exchange mail, uninstall and find the mail app broken, had to flash (now on KG2)

But a HTC has this functionality out of the box with no extra charge.....
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
How is Gmail rubbish when you can have all those corporate mail and hotmail and whatnot in there and they are not unified but you can access them separately via the gmail app? To me it seems that you are just stuck to 90's

Edit *i have my own business mail account there (own domain), my second work (work for another company) mail there (2 domains) and my personal gmail there. I also have multiple different email addresses from my own business there unified for a seperate account. All organised and working like a ****ing BOSS!
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
I think he meant that he uses his gmail acc as a spam account? for marketing emails,etc.
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Sucks to be him then.. like it takes 2 secs to setup account allmyworkcrap@gmail.com and have all your work **** (myworkshit1@work1.com, imanolddude@work2.com) pushed there. HE can also answer with the original address etc etc. He just old fashioned and stuck on his ways, lol.
[Galaxy S II General] well0549:
Well are you telling me that it is possible to have google sync with exchange and get contacts mail, calender and all the good stuff and not have the lockstreen policy ?

I am not old fashioned, but I use hotmail for mail and google for searches.....

No need to give them all info......

But..... If it is possible to have google read my Excahnge account so i do not have that dumb policy enforced on my pone i would consider a switch.

And i guess you are telling me it's possible ?......
[Galaxy S II General] kirdroid:
There is an app called touchdown for exchange mail, works pretty well and you won't be enforced to set a pin to the lock screen. You just need to set a pin to open the app.
[Galaxy S II General] evox84:
I think you have to try Copilot Live navigator it's perfect for me...
[Galaxy S II General] well0549:
Thanks for your help. Do you happen to know if that will work with pure messenger ?
[Galaxy S II General] well0549:
Well........

Do i get my contacts, my calender and stuff also in g-calender, i have been looking a bit and i see no way to get an automated sync between our corporate Exchange Server and Gmail.....

Not everything is as simple as you think.... Oh wait..... for you it probably is..... (but that's probably due to a lack of processing power.....)

If I would give you 1% of my thoughts your brain would probably overload....

Now buddy, be a real budddy and show me how it's done...... ( and then i will say you were right and apologize ) otherwise, go and bother some other thread with that 1 brain cell of yours !
[Galaxy S II General] kirdroid:
Its just for exchange email, it can sync your exchange calender, tasks and everything else exchange related.

I doesn't work as messenger, just email.
[Galaxy S II General] well0549:
Thanks for your help !.

I tried it and I still could not read the Hotmails.....

So Installed KG2 firmware, rooted it, wiped etc.....

And now Pure messenger is able to read the default mail accounts so my problem is solved.

But thanks for your help anyway !

Some tweaks

1. Two finger Google map rotation Do not need for Gingerbread firmwares.

2. What stock application I can remove safely? How can I do it?

A: Before remove anything I recommend to make backup of it at your sdcard. In this case you can easy restore this application using adb shell

In this thread you can read what applications you can easy remove. to do this you can go to /system/app directory and remove the corresponded files. You can do it with adb shell or root explorer. But for novices there are some powerful tools that gives to you this ability (you can find them in the market):

SGS tools: go to "Cleanup System App". It can make backup of removed applications

Titanum Backup

nitrality: go to "Applications" and uncheck unneeded aplications

Also you can remove sounds from /system/media/audio (but don't touch /system/media/audio/ui) if you use your own sounds for alarms, notifications and calls

3. For taking more faster application start you can convert your system partitions to ext4 filesystem.

To do this you have to follow this instructions. Also remember after converting to ext4 and before restoring backup DO NOT RESTART YOUR PHONE, else you will have soft bricked phone and should to reflash your firmware

4. Graphics Performance BOOOST Fix can boost the speed of applications in OpenGL games

Also you can take some info from the following threads:

1. about Custom ROMs - MODs

2. about Themes
