[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
G'day all

I recently canned my Desire and got a Galaxy S II, and so far it's been brilliant ever since I whacked Lite'ning Rom 5 on it and used the jig I bought off fleabay.

I was wondering if anyone has a Telstra ROM that has all the market settings, MMS and Internet useragents, and some of the apps, and kindly extract them. I bought my phone outright from Optus, and of course I nuked all the Optus crap, because I use Telstra. I had similar problems with my Desire when I loaded a custom ROM on it, but there was stuff to fix it and I can't find anything to do it for the SGS2.

Thanks

Hello? Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisey38:
I wouldn't mind this either. I bought my phone in hk and its never had telstra firmware. even if I could just try the telstra modem I would be happy, but I can't find it anywhere.

Hi!

Just brought an O2x 2 days ago, my last phone was a Moto Defy and i noticed a few things around here.Theres no 'perfect' rom available i looked around in dev section and reading the feedbacks i just cant decide which rom to use cm7 seems buggy...and the rest of the roms is lacking serious features like CIFS, USB Host mode etc. Im statisfied with the stock v10c but the power button is messing with me and im missing CIFS modules i couldnt find it.So if anyone have a suggestion which rom/kernel/baseband to use feel free to comment i would appreciate it!
[LG Optimus 2x] ghadap:
Hi there.. i think "trial n error" method is the best.. seems that not everyone is satisfied with the "total package" had with them.. like mine, modding my stock rom is enough.. using custom kernel, change to % batt mod, and so on.. so far a bit satisfied.. else waiting upgrade to GB is totally slow.. :( My point is, nothing's perfect..
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
you can find the update stock firmware here

and i think on LG o2x there is no cifs.ko and tun.ko modules.if you want that module i think you can flash other rom like cyanogen or modaco

[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMcGee:
I recently had my screen fixed, and now my phone is horrible! It has no G-Sensor calibration at all, no vibration, the camera is just a black screen, and it randomly loses signal and says "No sim card, please insert"! (Not to mention the case is all bent. This guy was HORRIBLE)

I had a new SIM put in, and it's still doing it! If you guys have any idea on how to fix this, or my other issues, please help me out! Thanks.

(I've flashed ROM's/Radio's/Kernals so many times.. it does nothing. Running CM7 156 nightly atm though..)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
Get a refund
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMcGee:
The thing is, the guy had me sign a "warranty" for only 10 days. It's been about 15 now, and I won't be able to go to the store until Monday.. so I don't know if he'll just be like "It's not my problem", or what. Could result to force ;)?

He works at an AT&T store and does repairs on the side, btw.

(Payed $200 to this kid, I didn't want to try fixing it myself and mess it up more, so I had him do it. I could of done a better job..)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
You should have posted a question in the Q an A section if you should trust this guy...200 is wayyy too much and he even made you sign something. He is a scammer that knows how to do his job well. also it is not like you can go to the store and be like, "he fu**ed up my screen, i want a replacment."

Considering he opened up the phone I believe that voids the warranty and you will not even be able to contact HTC for a replacement...
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMcGee:
:/ So.. what should I do? Go in there monday and talk to him? I can sure try saying that :P (Or like, "fix my phone, it wasn't like this before, or take your screen back and give me a refund..")

:(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
If you had a 10 day warranty you should have returned the phone back to him within 10 days. Why wait 15? I believe ATT/HTC would have fixed it cheaper than $200. Your warranty will be void now with ATT/HTC. So now you can either pay HTC to fix it, pay a real phone repair service, or buy another phone.

To attempt to fix the no sim put a piece of tape on the back of the sim card. It has been noted that the sim slot may be loose on some phones and not enough pressure is exerted for a good connection with the contacts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
He probably just forgot to tighten a screw or two. He'll probably fix it for you if you go back and mention it to him nicely, assuming he's a decent human at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMcGee:
The warranty was just if the screen were to crack again and such, (as he explained it), because the phone had no problems whenever I gave it to him. It was perfectly fine, I just didn't like the cracked screen.

Upon purchase, he told me the camera didn't work (black screen) because of a 'software issue', and to just flash the kernel and it would fix it. I never got around to doing that for those ~15 days, and didn't use the phone at all. I then got time, and rooted/flashed everything and it didn't fix the camera, and I noticed all these problems when I started to use it.

Thanks :)

On 1.83, I was able to (seemingly) store Contacts directly on the phone, not as part of either a Google or Motorola account.

But on 2.3.4, it doesn't seem to be giving me any other choice, so how do I store Contacts only locally on the phone, and not have it part of any other service?

So I'm on CM7 RC1, Latest netarchy bfs, undervolted -20mv, governed on demand, CPU 100-800. Got about 17 hours with normal for me use, thought maybe I could squeeze out even more battery life with an auto task killer and got about 12 hours. Has anyone else experienced this?

A lot of them do use memory. If you use some they do. I use the ones in the rom like miui or like go launchers. Is you look at battery usage it will prove what your saying. Also setcpu is awesome because you can make screen off priorities and even with data it saves tons.

To me it makes sense if a task killer would cause more battery drain. Imagine it's trying to kill a task and after a few minutes later the task try to restart itself again -- then go on this loop for the whole day.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Task killers are bull****. They create more problems than they solve. They have been so misused that Google finally had to remove the possibility to kill tasks in Android 2.2. If you have Android 2.2+, task killers just don't work!

The one and only time a task killer is useful, is when you have a specific app that is misbehaving. Then, and only then, you use a task killer to kill just that one app.

Hello everybody.

First of all I wanted to say that i was thinking to post this thread in the QandA but I found out that many display issue threads are in SG2 General area so I decided to post my problem here too.

Since i have got my phone ( that was about a month ago ) i have noticed darker lighter horizontal or vertical lines. It depends how you hold the phone. But those lines are only visible in grey color or how to say - greyish color, and those lines are more visible in the dark. Othervise they are not visible. I started to read many posts about display issues and I got scared, how few people wrote that they had replaced about 4 units and they still failed :( Maybe I have the best variant?

Therefore I am posting a few photos and waiting for your opinions.

Firstly is it a seriuos problem? How would you name it? Vertical or horizontal lines maybe? And should I replace my unit?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hank00k:
Well I've got that too and honestly I'm not bothered with it at all. It's not that big of an issue for me to go through endless exchanges to find the one with the "perfect" display.

I think it's just a part of the AMOLED tech and a manufacturing limitation cuz most S2s have these so called vericial/horizontal lines but they're all unique and have different lines and at different intensities.

If it's bothering you that much then you might wanna exchange till you get one your satisfied with.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
Replace it, you paid alot for it.

And its not a limitation i dont have the issue.

I know it seems like a pain but its better to do it now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
I have this issue aswell.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Those vertical/horizontal lines seems to be a common thing with the SAMOLED and SAMOLED+ devices but they all vary in intensity. TBH, Im also particular about the display, you should be more worried about the other display issues rather than these lines on greys.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tamen:
I see there's a lot of threads about this on the HD2 forum, not on the DHD forum though :)

When you have <20% battery, the camera won't let you use flash. On the basis I'd like to decide when I will and won't use flash, is there a way to disable this? Maybe a flashable script? Maybe this could be included into the next version of ARHD?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiT3Kr0w:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Most likely an app limitation. Try different camera apps such as Camera360 (I think thats the name but I'm not sure).

Other camera applications will most likely let you use flash under those circumstances.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_usman_ch:
There is a solution to this problem try this app:

market.android.com/details?id=thepaksoft.net.lowbatterycamera

It not only lets you take pictures in low battery but also uses less amount of power to take the pictures because of minimal interface and decent power management algorithms.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kershner25:
Hey guys! I'm picking up an Xperia Play in a couple of days and was looking for some general advice about the phone. This will be my first Android device, I've been on WebOS/Garnet for my last two phones. I'm just a little overwhelmed with the options presented by the Play and Android in general. For instance, I'm not sure if I should root my phone or not - what are the advantages?

Any other general guides to Android/the Play would be wonderful if any such guides exist. I'm looking to deck this thing out with every emulator on the market as well as get the PSXperia hack up and running (I've downloaded the program, but can't figure out how to use it).

You can sense my overall noobishness in general, I'm sure. Any advice or tips about this device would be great. I'm really excited about the Play and getting comfortable with Android. Thanks everybody!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edokassiah:
congratz im waiting for mine is the mail right now lol

rooting allows you to have full access to the file system sorta like a administrator

on a windows machine since out the box you cant edit files or remove bloatware without root you cant install certain programs from the market without root

also having root and unlocked bootloader allows you to flash a custom recovery image which will allow you to flash customs roms(a custom version of android dev by a user here on xda or anywhere in general)

yes i highly recommend but if you ever plan on returning the phone to verzion for example you will have to revert it back to stock

and for the program psxperia you need to install the latest version of java from java.com

and if your on a windows machine you double click the psxperiatool.JAR file

and it should run not sure on OSX

in the end you made a good choice on choosing android as mainstream as it became its still a powerful system way better IMO than ios or even webos

since android has so many developers theres gonna be an endless amount of programs

will post new finds myself etc
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You cannot flash the recovery image directly or you will mess up boot partition, you need to flash a kernel with embedded recovery built in :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kershner25:
Thanks for the info. I'm confused about the locked/unlocked bootloaders. How do I know which one I'll have? And how "easy" of a process is rooting the phone if I don't plan to install any custom roms or anything?

Also, how does transferring .apk files from my PC to the device work?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
If you havent unlocked your bootloader yourself it is locked :p there are many risks and advantages to unlocking your bootloader, but if you dont intend to flash custom roms there really is no need, just like with root, if you dont know what it is, you probably wont need it :)

transfering .apk's from your pc is easy, just copy the .apk to your sd card, then use a file manager to find the .apk, tap on it and the installer will pop up , you need to tick unknown sources in settings though :)

Thanks so much for this link, it's seriously going to help me while rooting my phone. This might be a dumb question, but bear with me - better safe than a bricked phone. The guide to rooting in that link says that I need to flash my Play to the .184 Generic UK firmware...am I understanding it correctly that I need flash this firmware onto my American Verizon Play? I want to make sure nothing is going to get screwed up regionally, as I'm going to want to keep getting OTA updates and all that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reapman:
Just to share my own experiences since I'm new to the Xperia Play (previously had an Acer Liquid.. crappy hardware but great community of devs.. anyways..)

I'd recommend rooting your phone off the bat - the simple reason is rooting will involve wiping your phone's data, so if you already have a few months of use that means having to restore everything which is tiresome. First thing when my phone arrived was follow the rooting guide here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116090

After that however I wouldn't recommend messing around TOO much with custom firmwares and such etc.. get used to the phone as it is and figure out what you like, don't like. if your like me within a few weeks or months you'll want something new - this is when you might want to start looking at messing around with the phone - new home launchers or even a new ROM (if your phone can have it's boot loader unlocked, from what I understand mine can't). The games and Emulators should keep you busy as is :D

The only customizing I've done to my phone is rooting it with Gingerbreak and using the leaked Sony Launcher.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kershner25:
I realize this is a pretty nooby thing to do that annoys all the veterans, but I consider this to be a fairly crucial piece of information I need before I attempt to root my phone, so I'm just gonna go ahead and bump this thing before it gets lost in the shuffle.

In order to root with a locked bootloader on an American Verizon XPlay, I need to flash to the .184 generic UK firmware, then root, then OTA update, correct?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
No. That method will not work on the r800x (verizon xplay) to root yours you will need to see [How-to] R800x Root

Dont worry about annoying people lol :). Who cares what others think? Everyone has to start somewhere.

But it would be better with a stickied thread for new users to look @.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kershner25:
So now, instead of the 3 step process linked previously in this thread, I have to unlock the bootloader and do a whole bunch of other stuff? This method is like 100x more complicated. Is there no other way? I don't intend to install any custom roms, I strictly want to root solely for freezing bloatware.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
No i dont think so. You would be better asking for help from other r800x owners in that thread.

The exploit gingerbreak uses on 2.3.2 was patched in 2.3.3 (worldwide) and was also patched by verizon before they released the handset on 2.3.2. Up untill the bootloader was unlocked on the r800x rooting was not possible.

Ask in that thread and you should recieve the help/info you are after.

Hi everyone,

I got a Wildfire 2.2 froyo (stock rom) rooted...

Recently, I flashed nFinity Mc4 Kernel and installed SetCPU in order to overclock my device, but, I am not feeling secure with this :P

So I want to cancel my overclocking.. I already have a nandroid bakup with my rooted froyo with official kernel ( Imade it just before flashing the nFinity Mc4 kernel)... All i got to do is to restore that backup right.. ?!

Or I should do something before doing it after doing it ?!

I didn't wanna act myself without asking the experts coz i know that the cpu is a very sensitive part which i don't wanna mess with...

Any help appreciated! :D
[Wildfire General] Alyzembawy:
Bump !!!!!
[Wildfire General] Nhs666:
In Recovery

- wipe all

- wipe cache

- restore your nandroid backup.

thats how it always worked for me..without any problems. After that your system is restored to the point of your backup.

I don't think overclocking is in generell harmfull to your phone. You have to consider when htc releases a phone in different countrys with highly different temperatures they have to ensure that this system is working for all users ( i think this is one of the factors when they consider at which frequency the cpu should be clocked). I noticed a big difference when i run my phone when it is 37° warm + overclocked to 691 mhz in the temperature of the battery compared when its 20° warm. At temperature about 37° and keeping the phone in the car behind the windshield charging and running navigation, the battery temp gets up to 45°(then i stopped charging...). I have to say this temperatures i think isn't the ideal working temperature (even when Htc stated in some of their user-manuals that the battery is harmed when the temperatur gets over 60°). When i set the cpumax back to 528Mhz the temperature gets down, i think this is a importent thing to watch the development of the temperature in your terms of usage to ensure a adequate life-time of your phone.
[Wildfire General] DNM862:
Use the "profiles" feature of SetCPU, set one for Temp <37 (or whatever you are happy with) to 528MHz, i havent got set CPU or any overclocking software, but i have researched into it, and when i get my Wildfire rooted i will certinly overclock,

good luck!

hope i helped :)
[Wildfire General] Alyzembawy:
Well, after overclocking, I didn't notice a big difference. I don't use my device for gaming, I use it just to access the internet, so I preferred being safe... Thx every1, u got hit on ur thx button! :D
