i am currently playing 9mm on my SGSL. i am talking about that windows application that changes the apk and change the download path to external sd. can u tell me how to use that application... i used it, i browsed for the apk in my pc then patched it, but once i press the patch the program screen vanishes. now what to do
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] omkarroxx:
wait for some time you will be asked to where to put the patched file and after dat you will see a message patching done

Rather then this all you swap ur internal storage with external so that ur external storage memory (sd card) become ur internal memory

Hence ur game data will be stored on sd card by default

[HTC Sensation] 5do12:
I accidentally dropped my brand new sensation in seawater for a couple of seconds. I took it out, turned off, took out the battery, SIM card and memory card, lightly rinsed the phone with fresh water (didn't dip it into, just washed off the salty water off the phone) and now I'm waiting for it to dry completely, because I can see still some water trapped underneath the touchscreen.

The service is still three days away until monday, but i was just thinking if somebody knows of what else could I do before I try to send it for repair. I was thinking of trying to turn it on once it completely dries off, or it is not such a good idea?

The dry rice trick

[HTC Sensation] 5do12:
Tried that also. I buried it in rice immediately, it has been so since yesterday when this happened, but still has some water trapped underneath the touchscreen.

I fear the damage from salty water is much worse than normal water.
[HTC Sensation] smacman:
Sorry to say but you are screwed. There is no way this phone will work reliably ever again..
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
The rice trick has never worked in my experience,dont turn it on,get some DE-IONISED water,flush it with that it wont leave residue like normal water will,let it dry in the airing cupboard for a few days then turn it on
[HTC Sensation] 5do12:
Can I wash it with distilled water? Would that be helpful?

Is there a step-by-step instruction on how to dissasemble a Sensation and the tools required? I found one on Youtube, but it wasn't very helpful...
[HTC Sensation] ptit developer:
I did not know this, it seems the awesome "Dry Kit".

I will buy it one, and if a day i need it, i will try it.

[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Distilled water is different to de-ionised water,i used de-ionised on a sunk G1 which got into a bootloop from the incident after the washing with de-ionised water it worked and still does
[HTC Sensation] spookiej:
you need to use the de-ionised water to remove the salt water to stop it from corroding heavily.

I dropped a regular cell phone in a glass of lemonade 10 years ago and here's what I did"

- get it out quickly take parts out and sling it around to get liquid out asap

- got home and put a pot of water on the stove

- when water was good and warm, vigorously shook it in the water for 10 seconds

- shook phone as dry as possible

- let dry, heat oven slightly then turn off and put phone in to speed up drying

- once dry, reassemble

- phone worked perfectly afterwards

not saying I would do this with a Sensation....just sayin

Hi all,

I have spent the past two weeks rooting my phone, trying to install CM7 and then failing everytime with a permission verification error when flashing clockwork mod.

Could someone please give me a step by step guide to rooting and installing a decent rom on an CPW SGS2 with the following settings:

baseband: i9100xxke7

kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwkf3

buildnumber: gingerbread.xwkf3

I would be eternally grateful as I scoured so many threads but to no avail.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I can say Chainfire's rooting process is the Simplest yet effective most out there, not interested in CM or whatever out there, so if you want CF guide, then read his thread,

After rooting you will have Yellow triangle and to remove that you will need Samsung signed kernel and you will find it from here,

Hey willcass, did you have to root your phone first than install the Litening Rom?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peddi09:
Is there any problem with the Samsung galaxy s2 battery? It takes ages for the battery to get full charged and it gets drained very soon. I recently brought this phone and now i feel that i did a mistake buying this phone. Is there any bug in the Andriod Version: 2.3.3., Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3. I read somewhere that upgrading to the version 2.3.4 will solve the problems with this battery, but is it safe to update to the beta version which is not being released by Samsung?

I read that we have to root our phone for this, is it safe to root the phone? What are the advantages of rooting the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Neither you have done any mistake by purchasing the phone nor there is any battery issues. KF3 doesn't have any battery problems. It does take a bit long to fully charge the battery from complete drain, like around 3 hrs 15 mins, but I'd take that for a battery of 1650 mAh.

Install an app called, Better Battery Stats from XDA which will allow you to see the Wakelocks causing by some apps, and then you can take steps to freeze/uninstall them. Also keep in mind that if you are getting more than 5 hours of Screen On time then you are absolutely fine. Now you can use that in just 6 hours or even a day or two.

IMO, you should Root your phone to access on administrative levels, it's very easy, shouldn't take more than a minute or two, just follow, Chainfire's thread, easy, very easy. And forget about any harm ;)

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcass:
not sure if this helps but charging off the mains and not the computer is much faster for me. Also putting brightness to "Auto", wifi off, gps off and bluetooth off certainly means my phone lasts 2 days with moderate use.

Using games and watching videos will hammer your battery life, but this is true on all phones.

The SGS2 is a GOOD phone - just needs getting used to and the release of the official firmware update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Of course it will be much much faster with an AC adapter than an USB one.

SGS II is a GREAT device :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
I've searched the entire net for a solution for this problem, to no avail. There seems to be a confussion of whether this is a hardware or software problem (since the only person who fixed this, did it by replacing the phone!).

This is the problem:

- Every time I connect the sgs2 through USB to my computer (windows 7), it gives this error (USB Device Not recognized). I have the latest kies installed on my computer.

- The USB did work ok when I first got the phone.

- I'm on stock ROM, and the only thing I did was install CWM and do Root (back when the USB was recognized).

- If it is a hardware problem, how come I can still charge the phone through the same USB port ?

- It's not cable related nor computer related (tried different cables and computers)

- Did hard reset, still the same problem.

Update:

Out of desperation I tried to connect the Galaxy s2 to every USB port on my computer. In one of them it suddenly worked and kies synchronized perfectly. But then when I disconnected and connected it again to the same USB port, the same problem happens (USB Device Not Recognized). What the hell is this ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Its a USB driver problem usually with PC .

Connect phone to a mainboard USB port in mass storage mode with KIES not running . Wait for windows to find drivers .

or settings on phone wrong

USB Debugging OFF Phone set to USB mass storage mode then connect cable .

Thank you very much for your help JJEgan.

Here is what I tried to do:

1. Removed Kies completely from computer.

2. Removed Samasung USB driver for mobile phone.

3. Restart the computer.

4. Tried to connect the phone as mass storage (either through enabling debug mode, or through the mass storage option inside "wirless and networks"). The connection was to a USB socket directly in the motherboard.

Nothing works.

No matter what I do, everytime I try to connect the phone to USB, I get the following alerts:

Yeah same problem here, started a week or so ago.

USB debugging, different cable, different ports, none of them recognising it.

Kies on the phone reckons it's connected, Kies on the laptop doesn't see that there's a device connected. When you exit Kies on the phone I get the USB not recognised message as per the above and the same code 43 message.

Wifi File Explorer at least allows me to get files on and off the phone without using usb but it would be really great to get 3G tethering back!!

Samsung Galaxy S2 - Same Problem

The original post describes my problem exactly. However, I was trying to flash a rom (which failed) and now my phone cannot startup. When I turn on the power, it boots into recovery mode. I have Clockwork Rom Manager installed, and from the Default recovery menu, I can open the CWM recovery menu. I need to flash the right roms through CWM, but it only allows me to flash files on the internal storage, and not SD card. Since I can't access my phone, I can't edit the internal storage without connecting my device to my computer.

Kies didn't work, toothbrush cleaning didn't work. When I uninstall the driver, I plug my phone back in and it can't find or install the new driver. Is there a way to manually install the driver for the S2? If there is please let me know!
