Greetings to all!

I apologize in advance if I am posting to the wrong place, but

searching did not help. Also, an android noob, so please be gentle :D

I am the happy owner of a SGS2 since Monday. No problems so far, except

the fact that I am unable to sign in/sync etc. with Google in order to use the

Market. I am using my gmail account (valid and in daily use for years). There

are no connectivity problems (wifi and 3G work OK, I have full access to

gmail and other internet sites). At the same moment that I am logged in to gmail

(through the browser), the market app (or the sync function) report that they

cannot communicate with the google servers!:confused::confused:

Any thoughts/suggestions? Am I doing something wrong (or missing something)?

Thanks!!!

PS. Not rooted (yet), running on

Android v.	2.3.3

Baseband	I9100XXKE7

Kernel	2.6.35.7.-I900XWKF3-CL276555 root DELL101 #2

Build:	Gingerbread.XWKF3

if that helps......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illtech:
Symptoms look similar to what I had -- couldn't setup a gmail/market account with "connection issue" errors. I had tried wifi & over 3g with no avail, till I found the following setting:

Try enabling the following setting:

Settings >> Accounts and sync >> Background data (ensure this is ticked).

Not saying it will solve your problem, but it did work for me.

Let me know how you get on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wxamav:
Hmmmm disabling the background data was the first thing I did (I have no intention

of paying the outrageous rates of the greek carriers - I will be using the phone only

through wifi for internet). Perhaps this may solve the problem, I will update as soon as

I try it. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wxamav:
Bingo! Enabled Background data and signed in with my gmail account in seconds!

Thank you very much!:)

Does anyone have a working (for Samsung Galaxy S I9000) link (to the APK) for the new updated Android market? Or wich is the usual way to update the market application.

And if so, does the updated market already work for europe, or is this for know USA only?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
hey Mate...

when I may give an advice...don't use this app at the moment.

It's far too buggy in it's temporaly state.

But if u want to try it anyway use search function...there's a thread here where u can download it.

I tested it and removed it the same day. Too laggy and too slow.

Wait for official european release - as I said just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Drikkie:
Tnx for the heads up.

Slow is ofcourse nothing new for the market, although if the new version is slow by comparision its probably hell to use it ;)

I'll probably wait a bit longer then. And try follow the news around the new market.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Two things here:

1. Your sales code should match the PDA/PHONE/CSC for kies to 'see' ifcthere is an update.

2. As of this writing there is no gingerbread update for the UK.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treb1971:
I think you have an Asian stock firmware there. PHN is Philippines, I think. So Kies thinks you have a Philippines SGT.

I flashed JJ4 from samfirmware.com, which is a Russian firmware.

I think, from what I've read, that stock Gingerbread is available in UK (sorry to contradict Bongski). Unfortunately I didn't save my firmware before flashing away from stock, so I'm in the same boat as you - no Kies updates.

What you need is someone to provide an official CPW firmware, I think, which you would flash with Odin and then Kies should update you. I tried using SpoofFW from the market, but Kies only got to 25% before failing, then I had to go back to Odin and the JJ4 firmware.

If you're comfortable with Odin, you might want to try that?

If you do get the CPW firmware, please let me know...!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
@treb1971

CSC PHN doesn't stand for Philippines. Philippine CSC's are as the following:

GLB - Philippines;Globe

SMA - Philippines;Smart

XTC - Philippines;Multiple

XTE - Philippines;SUN

Hi all,

I think my Proximity sensor is broken..... can one try the following:

*#0588# (Proximity Sensor Test Mode)

And tell me what happens when the sensor is covered?

Also anyone got suggestions on how I can fix this? :(

Thanks

Tony
[Galaxy S II General] LouisJB:
It works for me with *#0*# then select sensors and then move your hand close to the phone.

It also works with your code, the phone vibrates and the background changes colour when my hand is 5cm above the sensor.
[Galaxy S II General] tonynz:
Can you please tell me what it says in Sensor?

In Proximity Sensor I have:

Proximity Sensor (Min/Avg/Max)

------------------------------------------

PROXIMITY: null ADC: 0 (0,0,1)

and sometimes when I cover the sensor it changes to : ADC: 2 (0, 1, 2)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] LouisJB:
Looks like it is broken ACC 78(83,85,89) with my thumb over the sensor.

The important number is the first number (78). This must go over 10 to register as near at about 5cms , then the background turns green.
[Galaxy S II General] tonynz:
Thanks for that. Do you know if it's a firmware (I do have original Firmware on it but had CM7 on it for a while)
[Galaxy S II General] LouisJB:
Looking like a faulty phone to me. These are hardware sensor tests.
[Galaxy S II General] donomark:
a friend of mine has the same problem. We bought the telephone together but , after 1 month, his proximity sensor stopped working.

We tried the samsung diagnostic tool receiving the same information (ADC reach maximum 4).

we noticed that it stopped working after the change of the rom (with the installation of the clock recover) but I'm sure this is the real cause.

Is there a configuration file where proximity sensor parameter like gain/offset are stored?

Maybe some buggy application has changed these values.
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
if you have no warrenty, you can buy a replacement sensor, only about £10, it's front cam/sensors in one component
[Galaxy S II General] donomark:
problem fixed!

Using phonetester it took 5 minutes to connect to the sensor (while with my phone it took 1 minute) but once connected , the proximity sensor started to work again also with samsung diagnostic and phone application.

what did u use to repair ?, mines says proximity: null ADC range from 1 when nothing is in it;s way to 255 when coverd...

If you wish to find if something is idiot proof, I am that man. The simple becomes not so simple when these fingers decided to touch the computer *sigh*. Anyone else who is like me follow along, learn from my mistakes.

Backstory: I’ve been doing a lot of reading before I decided to embark on this adventure of rooting and unlocking the Bell Galaxy 2. Lots of videos and reading forms etc, for basically a 40 second produce. Thinking I have a grasp, I bought my SG2 from Best Buy Tuesday, then the hair pulling began.

Technical: Everything is being performed on Windows 7 64bit platform

Step 1: The first thing I did was went here to get the insecure root and Odin….verified on the phone it would be the KG2 code I would need

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Downloaded: Odein3-v1.85.zip

Downloaded: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

Step 2: Downloading Superoneclick

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Downloaded: v1.9.5

Step 3: With all the applications on hand, I began the process.

-Loading the insecure root through Odin was not an issue, it ran smoothly.

Problem: Superoneclick hanging error message : “peneuter running”

The problem happens after I closed Odin and Run superoneclick. The program runs then hangs with the message “peneuter running” It has a message in the window along the lines “if program is haning turn off degbug mode”, how can you do that that when the usb cable is attached to the phone? The phone simply wont let you do it in the settings. It says “usb cable has to be unplugged”...am i missing something here?

Personal troubleshooting attempts:

Attempt 1 – Thinking it might be the version of superoneclick that might be the issue I downloaded:

SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip

Ran the application with similar results. Hanging with the same message.

Attempt 2 – Diging through forms I read that some people managed to root it using a different insecure root:

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip (which is the current root on the phone now)

Downloaded, applied it using Oden without any problems used Superoneclick v1.9.5, the same problem, hanging with the message "psneuter running....".

I'm at my wits end. If anyone could provide some assistance it would be of great help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeyhitman:
Am I missing something here? Flashing CF's kernel already gives you root. It is redundant to install SuperOneClick afterwards. :confused:

Lesson Learned Tip 1 - Flashing CF's kernel gives you root

Thanks for that statement (I don’t mean that sarcastically), you spelt it out ….I was constantly bombarded was tutorials one needed to run superoneclick to root. When you load the CF kernel it already has the root built into it.

Lesson Learned Tip 1 - Flashing CF's kernel gives you root

If you don’t mind I would like to ask a couple other questions that it would be great to have a direct answer: I’m sure it will also benefit other users

Question : When Selecting A CF Kernal at the moment there are 3 options: (for bell sg2)

CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

Is there a difference between them, and which is recommended for users to select to make the next step/question easier ie unlocking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
I'm trying to figure this out right now too.

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip Does the JP mean Japan? What's the most suitable one for us Canadians?

I rooted mine using CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip. I can't comment on the others since I didn't need to flash them. As far as unlocking, try to use the Sim Unlock Code Finder app created by the same Dev that gave you the aforementioned kernels.

Unlocking Program For Bell SG2

After some reading, another popular unlock program is Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz

Has anyone unlock the Bell SG2 with this program?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikroft:
This is the recommended unlock method for Canadian SGS2 models.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikroft:
Makes no difference really. The most important part is matching the KG2 part.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Ok, let me start this off by explaining something.....

The rom letter versions are actually based upon 5 letters, not 3. There are several variants of KG2. Basically, the Samsung naming convention is as follows:

Model name: I9100M

Provider/Area: UG (Bell/Virgin/Sasktel)

Rom Version: KG2

Now, the rom version can get broken down into each letter as well...

K = 2011

G = July

2 = 2nd version that month.

All area's roms are developed completely separate from each other...

Ours is UGKG2. Which is unavailable for download from the Samsung servers, so we're not able to actually get back to stock, or make any kind of custom firmwares/kernels based upon it.

All the other ones, including ZS, JP, and XX are completely different roms and kernels than what we have on our Bell phones.

So, in actual fact, it's not at all important. The KG2 that either of those 3 kernels are based on are either 2.3.4 roms or different 2.3.3 roms. So, matching that is no different than installing a KG1 or KG3 or any KF* CF-Root kernels. ChainFire has not made a CF-Root based upon UGKG2 yet, so no matter what one you install, it's not based upon our rom, meaning you can basically install ANY CF-Root Kernel and as long as your phone still works with it, it doesn't matter. All the roms are completely different and the naming convention has nothing to do with each other unless all 5 letters/numbers match up.

However, I suggest installing a 2.3.3 kernel as that's the UGKG2 Android version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wargoul:
Noob question..

Is there any benefit to the CF-root compared to a straight up plain root ... is there any advantages/disadvantages (if I do CF-root am I restricted from doing certain things)

Thanks for any help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
CF-Root is a plain root, though it has some added functionality in the form of a bundled version of CWM and Busybox. Doesn't restrict anything.

"Trimming the fat" (Bell SG2"

I would like to thank the senior guys for taking the time to answer the questions that are being thrown out there....

If people are following along and they picked their CF- and unlocked their phone, they will be face with a great nuisance, bloatware, bell had to install to leave their mark.

It's like buying a brand new car, only to find someone been using the back seat as a hotel.

From reading, here are the options that ive come across, maybe someone might be able to point me the right way.

Option 1: Lite'ning Rom v4.2 XXKG3 - Fast as Lightning

Yes another custom ROM with everything striped right down to the bare bones. Use Odin and bam fast and no bloat, correct?.....from reading issues people are having at the moment kinda worries me at the moment...ie dropping signal sticking browser etc..... Again this is just what im reading. Has anyone used this and what are their thoughts on it? is it stable enough for the average joe to load and not be worried?

Option 2: Titanium backup or System App Remover

was reading this is more a manual hands on pick and choose what to get rid off.

would have to investigate which files are critical and which are not....and u better not pick the wrong file or you're in trouble

Option 3: ive seen "bloadware" remover scripts on xda, are they any good?

Question: what is the best plan of attack to address the bloatware issue with with a newly rooted/unlocked Bell SG2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toiler1:
I unlocked a Bell phone, running great on Telus. Bloatware was mostly Samsung. First download was Launcher Pro. That made the desktop nice and clean.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennypowersnow:
From what I was reading about laucher pro, it makes the desktop nice, but it does not delete the Samsung junk, like crappy social hubs, games, etc and bell junk ie Bell remote, and streaming etc.

Am I wrong in my understanding of this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Not wrong at all. But those apps don't run by themselves. They're just there in your app drawer doing nothing. So unless the icons that are hidden 95% of the time bother you, what's the big deal? Personally, I much prefer to have a warranty than to get rid of apps that I never have to click on.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theirlaw:
I'm looking to do the same... already flashed to a rooted kernel, now I need to unlock to get my Virgin on Rogers. Did you use Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz? I've attempted to SIM unlock my phone already using Chainfire's application but it failed, and from what I read afterwards, it doesn't work on our Canadian phones anyway... but I read Helroz's potentially does? I believe that was mentioned in this thread as well.

Another question... Busybox was installed with Chainfire's rooted kernel. Am I able to run an instance of Busybox that I can actually enter commands in? I was unable to find it in the applications list.

I suppose firmware for our region and the stock kernel still isn't available?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agioele:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennypowersnow:
Totally of topic: figured this is the best place to ask it since people here all did similar things with the bell phone.

My problem is with the messaging. When people send me a sms messages and I send back a message, the standard messaging does not display it as a conversation thread, instead it groups everything I say at the top stacked, and everything the other person says at the bottom.

Is there a setting to switching this to a threaded conversation, instead of “stacked”?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
This is a time stamping issue that is very common with rogers and some other carriers. Look at the time of the messages received and they will be hours back or ahead, which is why they are "Stacked" at the top. Install "sms time fix" from the market and it will take care of this issue.

Or! You can use an alternative texting app such as "Handcent SMS" and it should automatically fix this...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennypowersnow:
thank you so much. i was wondeing why my messeages came with all weird times attached.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
Yup, enjoy. Its actually a very annoying bug that has happened to me on almost every android phone I've used. It has something to do with Rogers and their network (if you are on rogers, maybe telus has it too?)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
I doubt it's Rogers network but I wonder if any actual Bell-users experience this problem... I had the same issue when I had my Sensation. No problem since I always use Handcent but it was too bad cause I liked the native messaging app of the Sensation. Can any Bell users verify this? Preferably the ones using Stock Firmware out of the box...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniels45:
Im on the bell network with stock firmware and my messages are sorted normally as in the messages appear in the order I recieve and send them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
Same on Telus (and AT&T when I roamed last weekend.)

TLDR, it's a Rogers network problem.
