[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remedyman:
hi,

I rooted my s2(locked to o2) and installed sim unlock app, after running the app i got the code install. i then turned the phone off and put in my t-mobile sim on boot it ask for the pin, i instered the code i was given and it said invalid code 2 attempts remaining.

I then when to an unlock website inputed the imei number and i was given the same unlock code, i tried it again just in case i had put the code in wrong before, however i still get wrong code 1 atttempt remaining.

can anybody what i am doing wrong and am i correct in saying that if i make 1 more wrong atttempt i have to use the unfreeze code, however i am reluctant to try the sck or spck codes in case the unfreeze code does not work.

Any ideas please

Wrong forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcbrophy:
Hi, did you insert the code the app gave you as the PIN number?

You need to enter the SIM cards 4 digit PIN first before you are asked to enter the unlock code.

Sorry if i picked this up wrong, but from reading your post it sounds like that's what you did! :)

On August 5, 2011 Samsung put out the update for the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 for the TouchWiz update. I really thought it would make the tablet better but instead I absolutely hate it. It made the very clean black interface into a grey child looking operating system. Although the system seems to run a little better now I just really hate the grey look to it. I loved how the bar at the bottom would go away when I wanted to watch a movie on it. Now I am stuck with it up all the time. Not to mention all the extra apps it loaded on that I don't want. Plus all of the weird bold fonts that are used on it now.

I have called Samsung support but they insist I am now stuck with it. I asked them if a factory reset would work and they said no......really? But I HATE it!

I have read some forums saying I could root my tablet back to the stock Honeycomb but if I do that can I reverse the root and get updates from samsung again? If and when they ever clean up this stupid TouchWiz. Granted some people might like it but I am really hating it.

Please I am begging the Experts out there for answers.

My bottom bar fades off when i watch a video. I then see lil white dots for the points you can access the notifications, quick apps, and navigation buttons.

I hardly notice it. But then I am able to watch what I am watching and ignore whatever else.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyskittles:
Yes, after you said that I have noticed if I use the android media player it will fade out. But if I use an app like rock player it no longer fades out like it used to =(

(the android media player still won't play most files so I have to use rock player or spend the time reformatting them.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glenn.Seseske:
Totally agree. Some functional improvements, but the UI looks dumbed down and ugly.

I like the task manager, but probably won't use the other quick launch apps, and they can't be changed. Also, the screenshot button doesn't belong on the screen at all times.

Agh! Kill it! Kill it with fire!

Hated the Touchwiz update.... calendar didn't sync properly anymore and I found the ui to now feel like a toy, big text and all... I hated it enough that i fully reverted to 3.1 stock... unless a decent community supported rom comes out, I'll probably sell the tablet and switch to a different one.

Thanks everyone on this thread for pointing me in the right direction to revert.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPeel:
I feel exactly the same way, and am a bit concerned to see all the custom ROMs adopting the TW update.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin_seymer:
I have used ninphos 2.04 and 2.05 and alot of chainfires kernels (kg2 kf2,kg3 and more)

I have noticed alot of diffrence regaring batterylife....between each one...I THINK chainfires gives best battery so far and ninphos 2.04 alot better battery than 2.05 (maybe its the BLN support that uses more battery even if BLN is not used)

So now I want a thread were you recomend the best kernels for batterylife!

So what is the your opinion?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Does a kernel really have something to do with battery life?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshoulihane:
The kernel ought to be one of the major 'invisible' factors. It is always active, and has an impact of the timing of everything else that happens on the phone. Particularly if there are bugs which have a detrimental impact on battery, the kernel might expose or hide them. That's not to say that the best kernel will necessarily give best battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
I don't think it's BLN if not used.

I did some tests and when the lights are not flashy-flashy the phone enters deepsleep as supposed to and my battery life hasn't gone done noticabely, if you don't use BLN at all there isn't even the BLN service running in the back, so even less to worry about.

Ninphetamin is aimed at performance IIRC, so that could really make a difference, CF-Root is pretty much stock kernel + some initramfs mods, so should give same results as a stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin_seymer:
Maybe you are right, but I experience better battery in 2.04 than 2.05.

Anybody have tried speedmods kernel? Does it have good battery compared to CF-Roots kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperbolic:
Imo I think you are correct since the Kernel is the base for everything while Android is running.

Thus, you better flash to a stable/faster kernel in order to achieve better battery performance ?

I really don't have any experience with the Kernels out there, only flashed to Chainfire CF-root, though I would love to hear opinions about ppl that used few different kernels and tell their thoughts about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin_seymer:
I wrote a little bit in my OP, but I write again, ninpho is really good, very fast and pretty stable...CF-root I see is better battery and more stable but a little slower...

those two I have tried...anybody that have tried others are welcome especially speedmod kernel as I'm thinking about flashing it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Thanks for your reply mister.

I have a question going on in my mind as this is about kernel, well I also was rooted with CF kernel but lately I flashed Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel, only to use BLN, and I have root too, now afaIk, I can't have two kernels at a time, so may I know how I have root still when I've flashed with Ninphetmanine kernel and I have both BLN and Root altogether?

Pardon me if it's a stupid and so called 'noob' query but I'd really like to know this.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cicku:
different kernel does different things.But if your phone has already been rooted,I thought root will stay in your system,after your flash N kernel,you can use BLN with root.

That's what I think,maybe is not true
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoule HCo:
I've tried several kernel. one of my favorite is ninpo 2.0.5. battery life look good and it run faster.. angelom kernel also good but i've got issues on angelom 16 and 18.. phone run hot when using WiFi.. but angelom give me the best battery life when it come to idle.. but drain fast when i'm surfing..

will try speedMod kernel.. could some one give me some review on this kernel?

Hi, I am a noob so please help us out?

Flashed my SGS2 (first time android phone)with CF Kernal KG1 to get root, and bloatfreezer to freeze Samsung and Optus crap as per lists on XDA. Rather than getting better battery life I have noticed a quick drain on the battery. Namely Android OS which uses about 50% overnight.

Is this normal? what can be done?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
I dont see much of a difference between CF-Root kernel, speedmod, and ninpethaine 2.0.2 - 2.0.5. Except speedmod doesnt allow CPU monitoring, overclocking and undervolting.

[Nook Color General] rehuxley:
I am wondering if anyone is using their Nook for business. I found a great case that is very professional looking and now using it for work. I keep my pro articles and docs I need to read/review in meetings on it. I just send them up via dropbox from my computer and then download them. I rooted my nook so I could use Kindle and Nook books - have lots of business book on Kindle previously.

I was using productivity apps on my phone but now use them on nook as the screen is better. The following apps are used daily: Astrid, Pure Messenger, gmail, email for exchange, reading apps including Kindle, Nook and Zinio. I also use Pulse and Audible. I am also using ThinkingSpace as my mindmapping software - I have it synced with Mind Meister.

The only downside is not having 3g on the Nook.

What or how are others using Nook for work?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I use mine a bit, with a few device caveats, and a few work-releated caveats..

We use Google Apps at work, although it's behind a Single Sign On so I can't directly sync against it but I copy events to my personal calendar, which I can sync, so all good there ;) So I use several apps to keep up to date on my 3-4 meetings a day, primarily Widget Locker with Android Agenda Widget in it so I can quickly glance at where I'm going next. Touch Calendar is great to quickly see what's going on this week.

I have my work GMail up in Dolphin HD all of the time, works pretty good although Dolphin itself has the "scroll up/sideways" to do different things utility and sometimes I wind up doing that instead of something I intended to do in GMail itself, but it's not a big deal.

I use SpringPad to track my todo's and my 'waiting for's and I primarily input them on the computer but I can look at them, or input them, at any time using the SpringPad app.

I also use DropBox for some documents, but most of what I look at is deemed confidential so I have to be careful there. GPG/APG can help there to encrypt files.

I use EzPDF and Documents to Go to review documents, which works out pretty well in most cases. I have a pad of paper and the tablet and I can go anywhere if I need to review something. I share an office and my officemate is quiet, but it's nice to be able to go out to the courtyard at work and sit outside and do work.

For some reasons I can get into Google Talk directly, even though I can't sync my overall Google account from the tablet directly, so I use that for work IM'ing when I'm mobile.

There's many times I have to go to a lab in order to sit down with some hardware I need to work with and instead of dragging out my laptop along with me I just keep up to date on email and work IM's on the tablet.

The couple of Android caveats I have are poor WPA2 Enterprise support, but that at least can be worked around using the Wifi Advanced Config Editor in the market, which is brilliant and works great.

The other, which is more difficult to work around, is no global proxy support. At work I can't do anything externally, INCLUDING Gmail, without going through a proxy. To work around this I have set up a secure AP in my office connected to a CentOS box which transparently proxies me through the work proxies. Opera, and maybe a few other browswers, can also set up a proxy but I'd have to set/unset it all of the time.

If work would allow us to access GMail without the proxy, that'd help out a lot there. But it doesn't help the next issue... Syncing my Google Account I can't do at work at all; can't proxy that. I have to tether to the phone in order to do that, which sucks.. So if I have a meeting that's happened today or a change today, I usually wind up pulling out the phone to look instead of the tablet.
[Nook Color General] eawooten:
I have tried to use my nook in various work related occasions, but it always seems to fit in less smoothly than its Apple counterpart.

The people that I work with that use iPads usually get that instant credibility that takes some effort to justify when using the Nook. Almost as if most people assume it to be some sort of gaming device or something less capable of getting things done. Like op I have been looking for a case/cover that can help to achieve a more professional look to help fight this stigma.

When I was working in Retail, I would often use my Nook to look up items online that were not available in store as our network did not allow any connections to the web. It has probably paid for itself in the commissions it got from using this method.
[Nook Color General] rehuxley:
These are some great tips. I forgot to mention that I use Evernote. Like Springpad it is great for saving pages and articles into organized notebooks. Very handy.

Does anyone use their phone as a mobile hotspot to wirelessly tether the nook when no other wifi is available? I am not sure how to do all that "proxy" stuff but I will do some research on it.
[Nook Color General] Blackhammer221:
Are you running the stock os or a rom? I just got my Nook Friday for work use instead of a 10 tablet.
[Nook Color General] freonchill:
i would LOVE to use my nook, especially in meetings. but as an architect, there is not a revit/navisworks/bim program. there is the cad program, but i would rather use the pdf's for the project, unless i need an 'on the fly measurement', then the dwg would be helpful. though i havent attempted to access the network at the office yet, since the wifi is outside the firewall.

An app to try for those on Microsoft Corporate Exchanges using Microsoft Communicator is the AndrOCS Beta.

It is beta but worked (but did FC once on me) when my laptop was getting rebuilt for Windows 7.

IM is very useful for internal communications.

I mainly use my Nook for reading/reference only at the moment (although have calendar, and todo). SpringPad has also been very useful as a reference store for me as well.
[Nook Color General] Blackhammer221:
Thanks. I rooted today, but I am having trouble with the Market. I am reading thought the root posting now. Thanks again.
[Nook Color General] NCKevo:
I've had some success using it at work (and at home for work). In addition to the usual; evernote, k-9, gmail, imo for messaging, the one I've found surprisingly useful is ConnectBot, an SSH client, and androidVNC. I'll use these two to connect to clusters or my main desktop and start / stop / check on jobs. I will admit, VNC on the nook is a bit of a pain (I don't have a keyboard or mouse), but for starting analysis programs that are already written it's passable.

My current dream is a method of syncing the output to the projector, so I can give quick update presentations on the nook.

Also, thanks for the tips on the PDF readers, I may get that EzPDF, I've been looking for one that does annotations well.
