It means Security-Off. It's what allows us to write to certain portions of the android OS. It's essentially the same as "jailbreaking" an iPhone or however you want to see it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] colando dunes:
I luckily got one of the s-off ones, cant wait for a stable permroot method!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chorpler:
Where did you get an S-OFF one?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] natehoch96:
Now, don't get me wrong, I am all for S-OFF and I understand where people are coming from, but I personally, wouldn't return/not buy the phone simply because it ships S-ON. Android Devs are amazing, they will get permaroot in no time. I can live with stock mySense for a couple weeks (or however long it takes).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] fcreeves:
...The wait sucks. I'm so itching to swap for a sensation. I will miss the MyTouch Joystick...? I choose the joystick over screen resolution as I could care less about the slide out keyboard as recent past devices have weened me from physical keyboard and make you become a seasoned swyper. I hope Virtuous ROM becomes available?

Wow, That was my first post in a long while. The wait has me refreshing the MT4GS dev section every couple of hours!

Edit (2 days later): Still refreshing this thread section!! Patience is a virtue? ...HA! I picked up this slide after S=Off was achieved on Sensation for 2-3 days. I did not expect to wait this long. STOCK SUCKS! My MT4G was faster than this Dual-Core Stock Slide with Virtuous Unity Sense ROM. Wow, I amreally regretting choosing the joystick over screen resolution....for now. Hopefully this wait will all be over soon.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Micoman:
Your not alone I've been checking the mt4gs dev forum every time I go online.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
I can live (irritably) without s-off/root for now. I installed adw and some of my issues are fixed. The bloat, the lack of nandroid, the bloat, the lack of being able to edit the hosts file and build.prop havent though.

Oh soon enough my pretty, soon enough you will be at the mercy of us for our uses.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Smokey.j.Mcpot:
I'm really interested in where people are getting s-off devices. They are obviously out there since devs already have root and recovery done for s-off devices. All of these units can't possibly be pre-release demos and such can they? If I wanted to pay full price for an s-off unit, where would I go for that? Can you even buy directly from HTC?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I'm looking at different ROM's and some say you need this HBOOT or that HBOOT but to be honest I haven't got a clue about HBOOT's so I'm worried about messing up/bricking my phone.

I successfully S-Off'd a couple of days ago and on the recovery screen I noticed that my HBOOT had changed (see sig). Many of the ROM's I like state CM7 HBOOT but how do I know if I have the CM7 HBOOT or not? Also, if I do have it, or later flash it (if that's what you do with it), can I use other ROM's that don't need the CM7 HBOOT or will I have to "downgrade"?

Wrong section dude. This is dev section. Try in Q&A.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lathanub:
I have a feeling that this is the sort of thing that is meant to be posted in the questions and answers section of the forum.

You can see the HBOOT you have by booting into the bootloader by pressing the down volume key and the power button on your phone. It will say up the top in that menu. Always go with which HBOOT the developer of the ROM I want to use suggests, in my opinion.

Hi there,

New user to Android/SGS2, enjoying the phone very much but one persistent problem I have been experiencing:

I am trying to logon to Windows Live Messenger through either Social Hub / IM app. When I try to add the account, the error "Error Occurred" keeps popping up but gives no details. Does anyone know how to work around it?? I've been searching for a solution but really couldn't find anything...

If I've posted this in the wrong section or if someone has already asked the question on here, I apologize.

Don't you need a Samsung account to log in?

I could be wrong!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeanWoman:
I did set up the samsung account...

Although I never got any communication on activation from samsung for activating the account but I have the account on the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chestvrg:
In order for the IM and push email feature to work, you need to have an active Samsung Social Hub accout. I found out the hard way after having done a hard reset.

First, what country are you're at? I'm in the USA on at&t, if you are in the USA (bad news):

In the USA, samsung social hub is not supported, so I had to download a 3rd party app called "enabler codes" and it changed the market app world region to fool my Galaxy SII to think I was in Australia, and the samsung social hub feature did finally work "perfectly", until I found out my market app would not download any (none) US compatible app as simple as paypal, eBay, Soundhound and so on...so I had to end up doing a hard reset to restore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoolish:
I used MarketEnabler (must be rooted) to switch to AU (Telstra) to set up my google chat account. I have since switched back to my original Market and the ability to create other accounts is still there.

FYI Also, running on the AT&T network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekil goth:
I'm having the exact same problem in Canada using an unlocked phone from the UK. I called samsung's social hub here in Canada and all the said was do a factory reset, which I don't advise as it made no difference. I tried making a social hub account online and I get another error message saying my IMEI can't be used. Anyone have other suggestions? Perhaps I may to resort to rooting and follow the method outlined previously.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chestvrg:
I had a horrible experience in which I switched to the same Australian market and could not go back to my US at&t settings. Last time I had to do a hard reset b/c for some reason my market place was not showing no USA apps at all, simple apps like paypal, fb, eBay and so on...

In the end I had to do a hard reset. and I'm back to step one.

Will give it another shot today.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobs69:
Woo Hoo!

This worked like a champ for me.

1. Download MarketEnabler

2. Back up your original settings...

3. Switch to Telestra (AU)

4. Input your IM settings.

5. Restore your original regional settings.

All is working great!

Thanks for the thread.

[HTC EVO 3D] thisguyinoc:
I justed noticed yesterday that if you are in a call and get out of the Dialer app, the notifications bar starts glowing green until the call ends. It freaked me out at first, I thought I was getting major light leakage, but then I figured it was just an indicator that I still had a call in progress. Cool feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
It also goes green (for a second) when you fling-scroll (scroll quickly) to the top of your contacts list, your apps list, and many other screens.
[HTC EVO 3D] creektrack:
Yep, it does this to remind you that you are still on a call...There are other neat features as well...
[HTC EVO 3D] Matstarr:
My EVO 4G did this too..Maybe u didnt have the 4G since u seem surprised
[HTC EVO 3D] krazykeith64:
I have the evo 3d,the only time it glows green is when im on a call,no other time that Ive noticed,what other cool features r there tho...just incase ive missed some
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Yup it was feature when sense 2.0 came out, which is something that iPhone had already just a bit different

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d :P
[HTC EVO 3D] thisguyinoc:
I had an ogevo, but I was rooted with CM7...so I didn't have that feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Its a sense 3.0 thing, I also noticed this when I was running it on my evo 4g back in the day.

I was able to push SpareParts.apk to /system/app/ and fixed permissions to 0644 rw-r--r-- and reboot then profit.

Spare Parts allows you to tweak how fast your window transitions and animations, overall I see a huge UI speed increase.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
I just turned animations/transitions off completely. I used this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidgram.spareparts
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
That's the same app just made for the market by a third party. The app I linked is the real deal straight from the CM source code.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
I know. Its just easier than pushing to /system/
[HTC Wildfire S] rioachim:
do not add the "photo album" widget to any of your screens, it will slow down all animations of your phone. to restore to normal speed, reboot.

Yes, you can root your SGSII - a few others have done it already on bell branded phones - just follow instructions on this thread :

I was wondering if I could as you, or anyone with a Bell SGSII :

Can you tell us what modem you have installed on ur Bell SGSII?

(Check under settings/aboutphone/baseband version.

Ive had my UK version here since it was shipped from clove and out of all the modems I found that the XXKG1 gives me the best signal, 3g speed and call quality without data dis-connects.

If possible, a copy of your build.prop file as well as this could drastically improve cell/data on phones that are not Canadian carrier specific.

Eg: I have edited my build.prop and have gotten 7mbs up on fido.

Thanks in advance.

Which recovery do you prefer and why?

4EXTRcovery

OR

ClockworkMod Recovery

PLEASE ONLY VOTE IF YOU HAVE USED BOTH!
[Desire HD General] ricey1986:
love the customisability of 4EXT

Ricey
[Desire HD General] Volupia:
Two Recovery works perfectly, but love customisability of 4EXT
[Desire HD General] raze599:
I like CWM because I'm just more used to it and by nature I'm a bit skeptical of new things lol because for no apparent reason I think it might die on me at any time! So I switched back to CWM.
[Desire HD General] CuBz90:
I think the same way as you lmao, which is the reason why I've not tried out 4EXT
[Desire HD General] CuBz90:
Also, I don't understand why it is customizable (background images, and what not) because it is only used for a short while now and again, so it doesn't really need to be themed imo

Off-topic: You're in Bolton? I live like 2-4 miles away from you lol small world eh :D
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
4ext recovery is better than cwm imo because:

md5 check, possibility to format the partitions as ext3/4, rom name in the nandroid backup name, change backups from ext3 to 4 and so on.

[Desire HD General] balinh_bs:

[Desire HD General] g3ismeee:
This.

And this!!! Yes this...
[Desire HD General] SmokeyMcBong:
I personally feel that 4ext is an excellent recovery, especially with the addition of ext3

and

ext4 format/backup convert etc and the new layout which is great, very easy to use imho :D

.... but cm recovery is the basis of 4ext (with some hard work done by madmaxx82 obviously ;) ) so for me the props go to both Koush and madmaxx82 for getting such a fantastic and productive recovery out to the masses :D

Or you could just apply a screen protector on it. Sometimes it hepls hiding the scratch.

Do NOT under any circumstance use an "LCD Polishing Kit" on a capacitive touch screen. You can literally polish away the capacitive layer on the glass, rendering the screen incapable of detecting a touch. Hide it, or order a new screen online.

Get rid of it by getting a new phone. I'm assuming it's still under warranty.

If you are in the us then you have a 1 year warranty take advantage of it.

Through who? HTC?
[HTC Sensation] ImWarped:
And you wonder why manufacturers take so long with warranty claims... submitting because you scratched your screen?! LOL

I wouldn't burn my warranty just for that. I'd probably wait until I was about to sell the phone then brick it to get a fresh one. ;)

im at step 3 in the HelloL10n tutorial, i cant figure out what to do when it says:

3. Open HelloL10N.java (in the src/ directory) and add the following code inside the onCreate() method (after setContentView).

my questions are:

-where do i paste this code in the HelloL10N.java class?

-what does "add code to inside the onCreate method after setContentView" mean? onCreate always has to be coded in before setContentView right?

-what does the code look like after this is completed (so i know if i did it right)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jwleonhart:
So ill go into my system panel and kill all apps. Ill have about 160mb of memory free. Then the launcher obviously restarts and system panel and my widgets all start back up, but what i dint hnderstand is why do thi gs like google voice or the music player start up in the background if i havent even used them? They start up almost instantly....

How can i make sure **** stays off?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Woolf:
Start up manager or similar from the market. Take care though, if you block something that system wants to be launched, it may keep attempting to launch it, leading to high battery consumption
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicolas.b:
Some app include a service, which they are executed in background. If the service is maually stopped, android can launch it again.

There are many application on the market which stop periodically these app. The point is that if it has a service, there is a reason, and by stopping it, you can obtain a strange comportment.

By example, in the first version of Android, gtalk was used for the authentification on android market, it is very strange but it was like that. The user was not informed of this link which was a kind of transparent. So if you stopped gtalk, you were not able to go on the market.

Do you need a lot of RAM? If yes uninstall the application you don t use, but I advise you to not stop mannually or automatically the application on your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vasumit:
I guess thats how android functions as such. I tried stopping these programs so many times using apps from the market, but it starts again n few minutes. So its like we are wasting our time trying to kill apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
Autostarts and/or Android Optimizer will stop any unwanted apps from running constantly. Works for me but just make sure you know what you are doing so you don't stop something you need (as described above)..

on androiid-hilfe.de there are also some people who have this problem too, but no solution at this time...

for some people it works when they have format the sdcard over the milestone settingsmenu and redownload the OR...

i don't have any problems with nandroids, but sometimes the OR just freeze and i can't do anythink, i think its an main problem, but don't know how to solve...

if you have a second sdcard, test if it work with it, may your sdcard is damaged...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nick_will:
Here's what I do.

First, download mini partition tool for formatting the SD card (http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html), don't forget back up the sdcard before doing format.

after formatting complete, copy your back up to your sdcard, and then copy the fresh OR (I'm using the androidiani OR 3.3 (http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/download/list) to your sdcard.

Go to openrecovery and do the nandroid.

On my case the nandroid backup is success.

Hope it works on you too.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
Hey could you check if the Nandroid backup is created? in my case, the process stopped at the System Backup. But when I did a battery pull and booted to recovery, I found that the Nandroid was indeed created...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] qaz2453:
Ye it did make a back up after a pull but the only thing that was missing was the system file
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rcummings100:
I had this problem last week. The nandroid would fail when it hit my Ext2 partition, and I'd have to do a battery pull.

I put the card in my laptop using an SD adapter and ran a chkdisk on it in windows 7. Sure enough there were errors on the card that needed repairing. After that, nandroid worked perfectly.

I've had the error as well once before, and that required a bit more work. My milestone came with a 16gb card, but I upgraded to a 32gb card...still have the 16gb in reserve 'just in case'. And it's a lucky thing I do. I deleted my music off the 32gb card to make room, and then used the previously mentioned minitool partition wizard to clone my 32gb card to the 16gb card.

nandroid worked on the 16gb card without any problems.

So i wiped the 32gb card (deleted all partitions from it) and then cloned the 16gb card back to the 32gb card...

nandroid started working again.

Since most people probably don't have spare cards like that lying around, you SHOULD be able to replicate what I did by using a regular SD card or even a USB stick.

Hope any of that helps.
