[General Questions and Answers] Kelsier:
I have an HTC Hero rooted with stock 2.1 firmware

I installed Link2SD and read through the development post on this forum but encountered and issue I cannot figure out how to resolve.

I reformatted my SD card with 2 primary partitions using MiniTool. I re-sized my standard partition to allow for an additional 400MB partition then formatted the unallocated memory to ext3 format.

So now I have 2 partitions that look like this in MiniTool (4GB SD card):

Partition FileSystem Size Status Type

-SDCard FAT32 3.30GB Active Primary

-AppsPartition ext3 400.06MB None Primary

(sorry cant get more spaces between words, dont use forums often)

I thought that was all I needed to do but when I put the SD Card into my Hero it just tells me I have a damaged SD Card. What do I do to fix this?
[General Questions and Answers] Kelsier:
I just wanted to say I figured this out on my own. I don't know what the problem was but I reformatted the SD card from the Hero and it only formatted the SDCard partition and then I had to reformat the AppsPartition to FAT32 file system in order to be usable by link2sd and it worked.

No idea what caused the problem to begin with but got it resolved, that's all that matters right?
[General Questions and Answers] knoblly:
I had problems too until I formatted partition 1 as FAT (aka FAT16 - NOT FAT32), and the second as FAT32 or Ext2/3.

The key for me was the first partition being FAT.

see as interesting a product as this is, unlike the iPad the android tablets all have the ability to change keyboards so this accessory would only be able to apply to certain ones. plus if you really need a real feeling keyboard that badly, there is the physical keyboard
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Samsung will start 2.3.4 updates over KIES in August for Galaxy S II.

http://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/95528275677413376

Soon so many people can download it from Kies or use Odin for it for Official one..CAN'T WAIT
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
I wish they just release the source code for the 2.3.4 kernels xD
[Galaxy S II General] RayeEarth:
Will it be available worlwide? O.o
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Yes it will :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonsmith709:
Just read this on twitter, look forward to it :-P
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
same and Hope all bugs will be fixed
[Galaxy S II General] SiSL:
Sounds great, hope not "late august" :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I hope it will be Early or Middle of the Month (I wish it is Early)
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
That's not official, so we will have to wait and see! I hope so, because then we can get 2.3.4 source for custom kernels
[Galaxy S II General] badmania98:
I hope is August....2011.:p
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
Deja vu. We already saw the same message in June, saying "Samsung are going to release 2.3.4. in July". Maybe this time it will happen...or maybe not. Then we will see this for September. Sooner ot later, they will gues right.
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Was thinking the same, plus they seem to be miles away from a good fw release, since day one the major issues have been the AOS bug, the pink spot camera, the gradients, all still present in KG3, which even added more bugs like the fc while playing flash content...
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Keep in mind the tweet's from samfirmware, not Samsung. Since May, he/they have posted about five "X is coming by X" messages and they've been wrong all five times. With phone's already shipping with 2.3.4 in some parts of the world I'd say we'll start seeing updates soon. Maybe I should tweet that - it would be as accurate a guess as samfirmware's. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] gaui:
Why doesn't Samsung tweet official ETA's ?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Why should they? They've committed to nothing at the time we bought the phone and publicizing dates and then potentially not hitting them would just piss people off. Besides, this way, it's kind of like Christmas.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Now August, it was July first. Ehh..
[Galaxy S II General] kamrul.auntu:
Can't wait !!!
[Galaxy S II General] uvaman:
I was talking with Samsung today and I asked "so we can expect the 2.3.4 in next 30 days for sgs2" and Sammy guys told me it will be before but they dont know exactly when still no information... They dont know the date ...

Also they said that they are planning to release Ginger for SGS next month (or this for some countries dunno) and 2.3.4 version in september - October
[Galaxy S II General] tasty_boy:
which firmware KIES need detect to make the 2.3.4 available?

2.3.3 with 2.3.3 kernel and 2.3.3 CSC??
[Galaxy S II General] marc.knuckle:
i am interested in the answer to that last post also.

i updated my s2 to KE7 through odin as KIES wasnt offering it to vodafone handsets quick enough. will kies even offer it to me when it is available?

[Galaxy S II General] Endoran:
At this juncture I prefer to use Kies. I actually don't think it's that bad. It even messed up and had to download the emergency recovery firmware and it didn't even wipe any data - as in I didn't lose anything at all. And it still updated. Unless you have a carrier locked phone I'd say stick to Kies unless you've gone custom ROM route already (I haven't). I have an unlocked phone from the UK and I just went to Samsung UK downloaded their Kies and it all worked fine. Twice. Since I RMA'd my first.

EDIT: And who IS samfirmware anyway? They have no affiliation with Samsung correct? Or is it just under the table? With the SGSII I see no real reason to go custom ROM (yet). The SGS1 desperately needed a custom ROM, this one does not at all.
[Galaxy S II General] inkyadrian:
Nice.
[Galaxy S II General] chargen2:
So with August now over, will this happen sometime in September?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Yes September onwards .

[Galaxy S II General] LouisJB:
Which September? 2011 or 2012?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
This once again shows that Samfirmware knows f*all. They are just the middle man.

Hope they stop making themselves out as if they are some part related to Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] woodstock_ahem:
i guess 2.3.4 did came out on KIES for some regions in August...

But unfortunately not All...

personally no big deal for me as i dont have any major issues...have workarounds for most niggles..
[Galaxy S II General] Sandwiches:
What you mean in their FAQ, where they state they are nothing to do with Samsung?

I just don't understand why the i9000 got 2.3.4 WELL before our i9100's.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
September 2999 :p I think by November middle week every country will get 2.3.4 update for SGS2
[Galaxy S II General] MamomaN:
can anyone explain what is the changes in 2.3.4 ??

any changes log or some hints or screenshot ?
[Galaxy S II General] xEraseRx:
Well, according to Wikipedia the 2.3.4 Update, released April 29th, brought the following features:

Video- and Voice-Chat with Google Talk

Encrypted transmission of the calendar and contacts

Bugfixes

Checking for this, I realized there is already a 2.3.5 update.

It seems like Googles agreement with the manufacturers to bring timely updates is working out well.(/sarcasm off)
[Galaxy S II General] David Roosendaal:
I am running the latest OFFICIAL release for my region: KF3

I rooted, killed the battery eating software update service (and some other never used stuff).

Added battery circle mod. Added mod to reduce the backlight a little bit.

That's all and I love the phone. It's stable, fast and does what I need it to do.

I know how to value intermediate releases.... so I will just wait for the new official release and stay away from custom ROMS based on them....
[Galaxy S II General] Iggles:
I had also heard that it allowed you to disable the camera shutter sound. That's quite annoying IMO. Not sure if this is true or not. Still stuck on 2.3.3 with Bell.
[Galaxy S II General] Disfected:
Nah, KF3 firmware disables the camera shutter sound when on silent mode.

I have it working in my motorola defy but ONLY on loud speaker, not in ear speaker. If I would solve that it would be perfect for uninstalling skype and other bloatware.

edit: v2 fixes the rosie image i forgot to swipe out :o

Hey guys. There is a lot to like about the slate skin for sense 2.1...but...the awful aqua (reminds me of eclair tw) colors for pressed images and other system ones are just hideous.

so I took the matte blue color images from metal.apk and put them into slate, as well as redid a few images that couldn't be ported over as they wouldn't fit the theme (mainly rosie ones). I made some edits to colors.xml to finish off a few things and edited the manifest and strings so it won't overwrite the og slate.apk

no root needed (and i dont have root so this is all i could do atm :o)...just drop on your sdcard and install with w/e package installer you have.

"Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when I dial that number..

I remember that long ago I dialed the number and everything was fine.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Well you shouldn't literally call it, just type it in Dialer and it should open the hidden menu. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidaem:
When I just type it in dialer, nothing happens.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
I see. It might not work on CM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Updated the OP a couple of times, you might want to read it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Considering I am still on Froyo v2.2.2, could this be of interest for me too? There's no abnormal battery drain on my phone, but if I can improve the battery life by tweaking this setting, I'd gladly do it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
I didn't have such problems on Froyo either. It MIGHT help, but as you can see from the numerous edits to the OP, it's not a clear win yet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
So it need to be disabled twice to stop working?

I've been looking for this service since using that Battery App but theres not much information of that in the web.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
I'm not sure just how many times, but it took about 3-4 times for me until I was completely sure the wakelock stopped running and the phone went into deep sleep each time I locked it. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
Yeah I think I got it doing it twice, FC phone and rebooting, btw maybe you can check system/etc/flex/flex.db and flex.xml there are fast dormancy settings there
[Optimus One, P500, V General] atulalvenkar:
@metalboy94 I mailed LG regarding Fast Dormancy and the reply i got was that P500 does not support fast dormancy. My phone does not switch from H to 3G. I tried enabling it many times using secret menu but it does not work.

I asked him if GB ROM/Baseband supports fast dormancy, he replied saying GB hasn't been released for India :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
There are? Thanks a bunch, gonna try those methods as well!

@atulalvenkar: Well, it still draws power from the battery, so at least they could have done something to the Dialer if it's not supported at all. :rolleyes:

Edited the OP once again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] atulalvenkar:
Are you guys checking on GB or Froyo ROM ? I can't see flex.db or flex.xml in froyo ? Stock or CM7
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Stock GB. I found it, but you have to fill in the info for your operator if it's not on that list. Guess which is my situation. :mad:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
Yeah my operator isn´t there also (I´m on a custom V20g ROM and I´m not from Romania) but i got the flex files from the Froyo stock so im going to try using that information to replace one of the V20g operators.

Also tried putting the Froyo ones on GB but get a lot of FC
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Updated the OP again...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] tsuda:
I tried to change the FD settings in the hidden menu, but the setting does not "stick", so I don't know if it's actually OFF or not.

However, I found that DataTracker-FD only keeps the phone awake when Wifi is on. If I'm always on 3G, FD seems to work and keep the phone asleep. Overnight with wifi off and 3G on, it only drained 2% battery.

I'm on official GB2.3.3 with PaoloM's kernel v5.

Strange.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
hey maybe let´s try this:

ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411,

have to put that on the build.prop then restart, the values must be changed to your carriers code, you can get that code from adb typing

adb shell
getprop gsm.operator.numeric

Then the system should show the number
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
But did you see how many MBs the phone used? Cause if it's too much, people will definitely prefer just turning the phone off.

@Roqu3: I think I tried that before and it didn't seem to make a difference.

Worth a shot tho.

I'll try both of your methods if I still have the issue when I get my phone back from the service center.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
Well yesterday I put that then use 3g all day with tethering and put to charge still with tethering when I finished my stuff it was at full charge, so I disconnect, turn off 3g and then went to sleep, 7 hours later out only consumed 1 percent compared to 20 percent of the previous night without that setting. I'm s still testing today because I'm not going to use the tethering or charge it for several hours, but I'm going to connect to wifi or 3g continuously
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Alright, maybe I didn't set mine right when I tested. Do continue with your testing. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
FastDormancy not want to shut down permanently. There is always re-activated when the connection with 3G/HSDPA is on. The worst thing is that when data is off, FastDormancy is still running and does not allow the phone to go to sleep. See my screenshots. In 1,5 hour I get down 5%, and phone was still awake, but data was off.

Is this bug in Gingerbread? In froyo I don't remember that draining battery problem with 3G. On 2G everythink is ok. This makes it practically impossible to use the phone in 3G.

Yeah sometimes is completely off and sometimes not, i think maybe we need to edit the flex.db because the hidden menu reads from there

, but with that prop stting is off at boot
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Exactly my problem. I always thought I did something wrong when I flashed Gingerbread. :confused: But I don't think it's a bug in Gingerbread since you don't see many other people complaining. Or it might be a problem with OUR GB.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
maybe it´s only a problem on networks/providers which don´t support Fast Dormancy?

i have same problem and my provider doesn´t support it...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
That's exactly the cause, but there aren't many networks that support it..... If I remember correctly there were T-Mobile, O2 and Orange, but other networks or branches of TMo, O2 and Orange in less developed countries probably do not.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
but why metalboy94 does have this problem even if he disables Fast Dormancy?

he says in his 1st post:

stock froyo doesn´t have this problem... i have excellent battery life with LG´s 2.2.2
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
But on Froyo there is the same problem with phone still awake? On Gingerbread even when I turn off data, phone remains in awake state - this is very abnormal. Maybe it's bug in new baseband?

Fast Dormancy in theory is only used when data is on, and help to reduce network traffic signal. In my opinion, LG f*cked next think in Gingerbread.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gincia:
I've been using stock Froyo for one month before upgrading to Gingerbread, and there WAS NO PHONE AWAKE PROBLEM. That's why I consider to downgrade to Froyo (if I get the stock rom), if I would not find the Gingerbread awake problem solution...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
i think it is!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gincia:
Can we do anything about baseband? Or only LG can fix this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
@rockvoid: Well I don't think the Romanian Orange branch supports FD, just cause we're a less important country. Yes, indeed I still had that problem even after disabling.

@rockvoid & gincia: I'm not sure it's because of the baseband, since FD is software-controlled. This must be a bug in the P500 Gingerbread ROM, and to make matters worse, logcat has absolutely NO entries for FD, even when completely awake after using data.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
samsung galaxy has same problem...

http://www.ctrlplusz.com/2011/07/disable-fast-dormancy-improve-battery-life-on-the-galaxy-s-ii/

but maybe there is a bug in LG´s Gingerbread or baseband which prevents disabling FD even if you choose it in configuration...

the question is: does froyo has enabled FD too in default settings?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gincia:
Good question... I was using froyo for one month, but have no idea about the FD, because the battery drain problem never occurred...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Probably Froyo doesn't even have FD.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
In hidden menu > Modem settings > PDP setting is - [0] Set FD and [1] Set PS attach mode with:

- when power on

- when needed

- when first pdp act

Maybe this is related to Fast Dormancy?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
the hidden-menu option for FD

is available

in froyo... but i can´t see if its enabled cause none of the options is marked...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
@metalboy94

have you tried to leave data enabled?

maybe with this "bug" battery drain is better if you do NOT disable data?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
The Set FD option is used for the alleged fix in the OP of this thread. I don't know what the PS attach mode does though.

@rockvoid: will try as soon as I get my phone back from the service center, but this may drain a lot of MBs from my quota, besides the fact that I have to add special settings so I don't get notified for e-mail or FB at night. :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
i really think it´s a baseband problem:

found this for Apple´s iOS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history

Network-controlled fast dormancy

implemented in baseband

to improve battery life and reduce network congestion[65]
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
In flex.db on /ect/flex there is a list of operators with with their configuration. And there is DATACOM_FASTDORMANCY with default value 10, and user defined 10. Maybe we must change this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
And what if your provider isn't there? Mine isn't. :/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
All my country 4 operators are there.

But I see that Romania Orange are there - with operator key 112.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
112? Nope, that would be the national emergency number. :D The operator code for RO Orange is 22610, and I already checked, there's only RO Vodafone in there.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
do you guys have same ROM? v20(...) ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
I have v20e.

And even we can edit this file, to change displayed operator names.

How to edit this file (.db) on pc? Sql edtiors say that database is closet, and cannot import.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
i use Sqliteman (and adb pull) for pc.. http://sqliteman.com/

froyo v10e has following columns in flex.db:

in flexinfo table there also is DATACOM_FASTDORMANCY = 10 .... but where is it set per operator?? it´s set for all operators i think...

and i have no battery problems with 2.2.2 (it lasts 4-5 days !!)...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gincia:
It is also interesting whether the 2.2 and 2.3 has the same baseband version. Anyone who reads this thread, please go to hidden menu (3845#*500#)> version info> baseband version. Mine's (2.3 android) is AMSS6150. If versions will differ, we could think how to "flash" it from 2.2 to 2.3 android (in theory, as I am newbie in android).

Also, I will check the flex.db source...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Nope, they definitely do not have the same baseband version. And I don't think the Froyo baseband is compatible with GB.

Btw, I have v20g.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockvoid:
baseband in froyo 2.2.2 v10e (germany) is AMSS6038...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Layio:
On GB 2.3.3 v20e Poland I have baseband AMS6038.

"On stock ROMs, you can check the baseband version via hidden LG menu. It will show AMSS6150 if you flashed v20G baseband. If you see AMSS6038, then you have a baseband from v20[ABCD...] versions."

I cannot edit flex.db, Sqliteman says - this file is not database.
