[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 2dorr:
I can't believe this. I get bootloop even with - Gr2 (vanilla edition - Samsung apps replaced by Google stock equivalents, most Samsung added apps removed)

Of course I wiped everything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
When the phone bootloops try holding the power button down until the device turns off. Then hit the power button again and turn the device on. From there I booted up fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 2dorr:
For me it's not working that way. I just installed Ninphetamine kernel and after another triple wipe, I managed to boot succesfully.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
As I said, PM me your 'options.txt' and your logcat and we can fix it!

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Sorry to hear that. Follow Paul's advice and I'm sure he'll have you up and running in no time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] huuub:
I confirm...

I wiped everything (coming from LF 5.0 with latest speedmod).

Installed by CMW, wiped again everything.

Bootloops.

Installed Nimph. 2.0.5, still bootloops.

Wiped everything. OK, it boots.

First thing I did: went to Spare parts and opened battery stats, FC...

Decided to wipe again, install again and wipe.

Again bootloops.

Is it possible to have the kernel from modaco seperately?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
Without installing the BLN patch? The 'standard' prebake? Any clues in logcat?

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Xcloud1990:
Bootloop here too :(

Coming from Gr1, installing Gr2 vanilla edition it doesn't boot. Wiped everything twice, nothing! What can I do to help you fix this problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] avetny:
Hahahah I love vanilla rom !!!

Guys who got bootloop just wipe cach, dalvik, and flash another kernel !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
Investigating guys...

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] avetny:
Ectually bootloop almost in any rom (not docking:))....example Lighting rom.

ExynosExt., and many others.....only will help if we gonna flash any kernel on top....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] krispijn_s:
No bootloops here; it worked in one go.

Here is what I did before booting:

factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

format /system

Flash main rom from zip

Flash bln patch

Flash Nimphetamine 2.0.5

Boot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Xcloud1990:
It works! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] krispijn_s:
Good to hear :)

My guess is that the extra format of /system is the determining factor here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Xcloud1990:
Nope, that's the only step I forgot xD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
I can now replicate the bootloop, so I should be able to find the problem now!

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] huuub:
Curious, Lightening Rom has this issue to when wiping. (but workaround is also cumbersome. Also if going to spare parts: battery usage: FC (with nimph. 2.0.5).

Could not test with your kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
Bizarre. When I find the cause i'll post what it was!

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
OK, if you have a device in the 'bootloop state', could you try doing...

adb shell chown system /data/system && adb reboot

...for me?

I believe this will fix it.

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] huuub:
That fixed it!!!!

Will post a link to here in LR... (can this fix be implemented?)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
Yeah, tell the LR guys to check the permissions of /data/system on boot. Something seems to be strangely setting it to be owned by the 'media' user. I'm trying to work out now what exactly is doing this...

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
You can tell them that if they create / chown / chmod /data/system in with the other directories in /init.rc it'll solve the problem. Huzzah!

Fix online shortly...

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
Testing the fix now, new prebakes will be online soon.

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
What initramfs did you use for this?

I found that literally months ago and figured it, then it seemed to disappear. The stock roms were even affected... If there's an outdated initramfs 'source' somewhere, sounds like it needs updated.

Might explain why people had boot loops sometimes, as I just presume this was sorted when Samsung fixed it...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kersey:
Would anyone be kind enough to post the build.prop for this rom, am curious to see what tweaks have been made to it ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
Er, I initially based it on the clockworkmod github posted in this forum..

P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
Prebakes (including BLN patch) and kitchen updated with MCK r3 kernel which resolves the bootloop issue.

Hey guys,

i'm thinking of getting a t-mobile g2 handset. i've found one online, refurbished, for a cheap price. my question is do i need to activate the handset? i'm going to use it in europe and since i'm not in the usa now a friend will bring the handset to me.

a friend here is a dev and the company he works in got 2 phones from the states shipped. they had to activate them and it cost them 50 dollars each because they are no in the states, t-mobile said that it's free if it had been done in the us..

here is the phone:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjoannou2001:
Hi guys i really need someones help to explain something to me. I not even had a galaxy s2 for a month and i have been noticing problems with it. I flashed different custom roms because i heard having a custom rom is more battery friendly and makes the phone go a lot faster than having the stock rom in. So i went ahead and flashed a custom rom but i have been having problems with the battery. Fully charge it and within minutes of using wifi and browsing in the browser the battery starts being drained like crazy. Anyways i called the place were i got it from and i have send it in to them for an exchange. They said to me they will have to test it first to see were the fault is before they do the exchange. I have to say here that i flashed back to stock rom with the latest firmware using Kies. Anyways they had it for a few days fully charged it and they say that they can not find a fault and they are sending me the handset back. I have to admit being on stock rom the battery does last longer.

Anyways what can i do next and were is it that im going wrong and is it worth sending it to Samsung directly once i get my handset back?

Does it take few days for the battery to settle and get the proper use out of it even with a custom rom or shall i just stick with the stock and just root and use my phone as normal because other than the drainage there is nothing else wrong with it.

Thank you in advance...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjoannou2001:
hey thanks again JJEGAN for replying but why does everyone suggest to go to custom rom then? and i have display on lowest and i hardly have widgets so why on custom rom my battery gets sucked like crazy? do you think its worth staying on stock rom and just root the handset?

Thanks

ps when you say wipe the battery stats i did do that and charged the battery and still the same so were do i go wrong? could it be the custom roms that i have been using and not let the battery have a few days cycle to adjust to the new rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
Why do you want to root it? The phone is a beast on stock. Save yourself a load of hassle and get timely OS updates by staying stock. Root in a years time when the phone gets old and isn't supported anymore.

I don't think there is one.

It'd be good to have one btw...

I've seen some demand for this, but I don't understand it. I can pretty much type 50 WPM on a computer keyboard. Typing code on a phone would be a pain IMO :) Now, if you could use a portable USB or Bluetooth keyboard, count me in!!

The closest I can get is my Asus Eee netbook, my Droid X and a USB cable. It's very portable, Eclipse or Intellij runs fast enough. Just don't run emulator!!! LOL

This would be handy for developing on a tablet that is for sure. A good start would be a Android Java friendly code editor, at least you could tinker with the code and then try it out when you are back on a complier.

I imagine with a bit of scripting, there could be a way to remotely use a pc with Eclipse running to receive altered files, compile and return the apk.
[Android General] alostpacket:
check out touchqode
[Android General] :
No, I think you misunderstood me. If I were to go to someplace, say a bookstore, I take my Asus Ee Netbook running Eclipse, my phone and USB cable. I code on the netbook, run the code on the phone.

It's an extremely compact and lightweight option for me.

So you can browse through some Android Development books while you code...very nice! :D

Never had a problem with emulator speed on MacBook Pro. I just like using the emulator to get the program going and then transfer to phone to check alignment stuff. I made note that I DO NOT run emulator on my netbook....now THAT is slow! LOL

[HD2 General] Lillian~:
Does anyone know what the warranty period for the HD2 in the US is?

Some people say it's 2 year while others say it's 1 year.

Are there separate warranties with T-Mobile and HTC? If so, what are the warranty periods for both?

I cannot find anything definitive about this online.

Thanks all.
[HD2 General] Dblfstr:
My warranty lasted about 30 minutes, then I voided it.

Call your provider and find out...

Read your documentation...
[HD2 General] Lillian~:
I'd love to if I could. Unfortunately, I'm planning on buying a used one locally, so the documentation isn't available to me. And T-Mobile won't provide an answer without a serial number.

If you could point me to where I could find some documentation online, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
afaik it's one year via HTC or two weeks via tmobile.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
T-mobile has they're own warranty through a outside company while htc has they're own warranty as well.

T-mobiles warranty all depends on if you purchased a warranty through them. If you did not then the warranty is only 1 year from date of purchase.

Htc although I'm not positive on this is 1 year but I agree with you I have seen people say 2 years so maybe I'm wrong. Also anyone buying a used phone, you could have a warranty still so it's best to find out by calling. I bought a used one off ebay and it was broken so I sent it in to htc who repaired it for free. If your trying to find out if you still have warranty coverage the best and easiest way is to call htc repair. They'll ask for the imei # and then give you the date the coverage would still be good through if there is any remaining.
[HD2 General] Dblfstr:
I see. I didn't think about that. htccraze is right. Before you buy the device, call HTC and have the EMEI number ready. they will know.

I would have to agree 100% the SGSII is hands down the best phone on the market right now. And even more so with a few tweaks the speed and performance along with excellent battery life will make it #1 for a long time.
[Galaxy S II General] kinox:
My friend just got it. It's really very light in terms of weight. Nice! :)
[Galaxy S II General] keawai:
S2

Yes it is really nice. Thin and very light. It holds better in my opinion than even the Galaxy S (1). It was the European version, couldn't get it unlocked to use on US so saw no real service on it but the menu style and camera functions are similar but those small enhancements always intrigue me.

[Galaxy S II General] tripster69:
I waited patiently for the dual core handsets to come out, then hesitated many times over which one to buy. Finally got my SGS2 this week and rooted next day! I must say, Terga 2 games blew my mind, streaming FLV movies on the go is finally a possibility, Touchwiz makes more sense than 'sense' and finally the color depth of the screen is second to none.

Amazing phone, i doubt i'll need to upgrade for the next 12 months :)

[Galaxy S II General] Fasinationinmotion:
That is if the US even gets the S 2 and if they ever release a CDMA version. With the way its looking and Apple being a bunch of spineless uninnovative ******* we may never see the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] code-monkey:
There's been rumours that there will also be an SGS2 with hardware keyboard. As hardware keyboard-zealot... I can't wait for that one. Let's hope it won't stay a rumour though.
[Galaxy S II General] clouds5:
Its a good phone but i dont understand all the praises it gets^^ Its all plastic, it overheats, it has problems with some 3d games and the screen just looks aweful in my opinion.

Maybe im just used to LCD screens but it comes down to this for me: Advantage of the sgs2 display: Black is black. Disadvantage: All other colors are way off. White is more like light blue and no comment about the green in the android market for example.

Speaker sucks too. And dualcore is just for the lulz atm. Nothing out there that is really using it as far as i know. But it takes alot of juice. That and bad software results in 1-2 days of battery life from what i've heard in different forums.

I dont see any reason why this phone should be better than my DHD which has the same screen size also a pretty bad speaker and 1-2 days of battery life. But i prefer SLCD and aluminium case, and the software/custom roms are way more advanced.

I'll wait for the next generation :) Ice Cream Sandwich phones from htc or samsung. Also interesting to see what will come out of Motorola now that google bought it!

Note: I dont want to bash the SGS2, its a good phone. But i dont see it being way better than everything else. Just at least take one look at the phone before you buy it to check if the display is for you and be prepared for some software issues (touchwiz + 3d games).
[Galaxy S II General] bedo1987:
i've tried it...

hello every one, I've got a SGS 1 with CM7.

It works great, even 7.1.0 is in RC....

I've used for about 20 minutes SGS 2 of a friends of mine and I've seen with my eyes the improvment that Samsung Samsung have done.

If before we compare SGS 1 with the iphone 4, the SGS 2 is clearly better than iP4.

no doubt about it.

8M camera, display AMOLED so much improved, dual core....

Hope 4 a CM7 stable for both SGS 1 and 2 :)
[Galaxy S II General] zerocool79346:
This is all I needed to read to know that you have no idea what you're talking about. 1-2 days?? Are you kidding me?? It's an Android, not a Blackberry. The DHD was maligned in every review because of poor battery life, and that poor battery life was 6-14 hours.
[Galaxy S II General] KnowledgeBroker:
I don't own an sgs2, and I would get one if they could work properly with tmobile, so I have to wait for the hercules(SGH-T989) variant.. but everything you said appears to be absolutely wrong by every standard.

First off, according to everything I have read, this gets at least 1 day under normal or more use, most androids have less than that. It has been described like the SGS1 series color wise which is really second to none. I don't even know what you are talking about with bad software.. but I imagine you really don't know much about phones in general, nor this phone specifically.

The international version will probably have a better following than the US variants, I want the tmobile version, but if it is going to be like the vibrant was I want something different.. they really did a bad job keeping software updated or anything else I see some other comparable phones doing a good job of that came out shortly after the sgs1 us variants. I mean 2.2 took forever to come out, and over a year after release there is no official 2.3+, and with issues devs have had, I am thinking the hardware wasn't made to work with 2.3.

If they neuter the us versions of sgs2 like they did the sgs1(no working radio, slow updates, and other hardware things removed like ffc) then it is a deal breaker. I would say my backup would be the nexus prime, but the information on that doesn't seem as solid as what is out about the hercules.
[Galaxy S II General] MartyLK:
OMG! I just this day got an Infuse...the sister to the GS2...and I now see why there are a lot of people who are having troubles with their Samsung phones...like the GS1 and all of its variants. Good freekin' lord! Touch Wiz is such a POS. I kid you not in any way and I can't put more polite than that. And the phone already crashed once just not too long after setting it up...without putting any apps or anything on it.

I see signatures here in XDA from user who explicitly detail their bad experiences with Samsung Android phones and now I understand. This is the very first Samsung branded phone I've used...the Nexus S was a Google phone....and can't believe how horrible TW is. I much prefer stock launchers on any phone but I had to install Launcher Pro to get the hell away from TW. The hardware is super nice. I love the display and the look and feel of the Infuse. But Samsung don't know **** about software...sorry about my slang...lol. I've been into DAPs for a long time and have an extensive collection of all different brands. Among them are a few Samsung DAPs like the P3 and the ones right below it. They are horrid for convenient UI and I got past that because they are strictly music players. But I didn't realize until now how badly Samsung is at software creating. I just figured Sammy didn't want to put in the effort on the DAPs to give them a decent UI. But their high-end phones are just as horrid as their DAPs.

This is something you won't see while playing with one in the store. And I didn't see it. Only until you get it home and start setting it up will you begin to see how horrid the UI is. I always felt like MotoBlur was bad. F that! MotoBlur doesn't have anything on TW for being the worst UI around. I would take MB over TW without question and would feel like a dirty bandit getting away clean.

To put this post on topic...if Samsung doesn't improve the UI in the GS2, I can't see how they can succeed.
[Galaxy S II General] the4finger:
So the fact it sold 5 million in 85 days without being released in the us and some other countries makes it an astounding failure right?

I agree that touch wizard isn't fantastic but it's the best 3rd party launcher at the moment and adds some functionality that aosp just doesn't have.
