[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas2500:
Hello,

after a reboot of my device it was frozen at the Samsung screen (not that with S -> before)

Actually it displays me where I can see a Phone ... ! ... Computer.

(Images are not allowed to post)

Samsung KIES have a connection timeout and Odin3 (1.85) stucks.

What can I do?

Please help the big noob :D

<EDIT>

When I use ODIN it displays me this:

And then is nothing ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraN0va:
Have you put a pit file in odin, then you have to check repartition box. If not then do never check repartition box. All 3 parts firmware normally have a pit file.

Greeting sp
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Remove battery and put it back in, put phone into download mode and flash firmware with Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas2500:
Odin stops after "NAND Write Start!!". 1 hour later, it still shows "NAND Write Start!!". In download and "Screen of dead" mode are these errors.

But i have actually a bigger problem.

The phone doesn't start.

Power key -> screen is black.

Download mode -> screen is black.

Recovery mode -> screen is black.

Battery change does not help.

Battery is fully charged.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Did you use .pit file?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas2500:
No, for my device I have only 1 file (PDA).

But, I can't start it. Is there a "master reset" or something else?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ri3tn:
I just discovered the key combo for recent apps through the dock - something everyone was looking for, it seems.

Hold alt + tab. Hope this helps people.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
Not working on 3.1. Maybe a 3.2 feature?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
3.2 Feature, been noted when it came out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Awesome, but I wish the alt key was closer to the tab key so you dont have to use two hands to activate it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
So, I was flashing gtg's unbrick back to stock after trying CM7 for a bit and my phone managed to slip off my desk and come unplugged. Now when I do anything it stays black. Tried taking battery out, plugging in usb... nothing. Not recognized in Odin anymore either.

Any suggestions on what I can do to save this thing?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
stays black mean what?

when you insert battery whether there is any backlight or it is completely dead?

you may need to take it to service center.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
Meaning nothing at all. No backlight, no nothing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
Well, apparently trying to put the battery back in with the usb connected a few more times convinced it to get back into download mode.

Case closed! Thanks for your help, everyone. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Good to know...

so basically you just kept attempting to put it into dload mode until it took...and eventually it did. Awesome!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
So, I've been searching all over xda to no avail, so I'm throwing this thread up to see if by chance anybody knows where to find what I'm looking for.

When I had my captivate, I ran setup for a while that was basically all black, and I used an icon pack that I found that was basically a ton of icons in the style of the launcher pro icons. I'm talking about the basic, frosted glass, very minimalistic style icons that launcher pro uses in their dock. However, it was a huge icon pack that had icons for many market applications. The icon set was also compatible with desktop visualizer.

Anybody know where I can find these?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jawhite013:
Check custom launcher icons in the market. See if that is what yu're after.
[HTC Sensation] yasinis:
Hi there guys!

i just bought a htc sensation a month ago and make its s-off an flashed also a custom rom (senseless rom 1.2)

now my problem its, that the phone is rebooting sometimes, when i try to unlock the device from sleeping.

i push the power button, the phone doesn't react, so i push a second time. after pushing 2nd time, the display splash on and at the next moment off.

2 seconds later, i got the boot-splash of the device.

anyone had this problem already?

EDIT: this problem was coursed also before s-off, therefore i choose this section to disks about! =)
[HTC Sensation] Neuromantic:
I'm having this problem as well. I have not rooted or s-off'd or anything else. Stock rom, most apps from the market. This started happening the other day when I installed an update to version 2.3.4. This is happening several times a day and is getting extremely annoying!!
[HTC Sensation] yasinis:
hi,

i just followed this problem again.

i am using now the Beast Rom, and the phone has still this problem.

any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] J.Swalen:
Try flashing ARHD 3.6.1 from Mike1986 very stable, good support and fully operational. way better than stock.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
Defrag your micro sd card and fix file system errors. Uncheck enable fastboot and turn off your phone then turn it back on again. Lastly, try not to use "kill all" in task manager. Hope it help you guys.
[HTC Sensation] robohofo:
Crashing as well

Same here with crashing.

During unlock, when using GPS. It's now several times a day. The device has become unfit for purpose. Will try the SD card trick.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarrance17:
Hi how do you install mods onto your phone? a got a rom but i wanted to add a mod to it. how do i do it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Without knowing what rom you have on your phone, i wouldnt even know where to start answering.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
What he said^^^^, and also depending on the mod the method can vary. Some you can flash through recovery, some you can do through terminal, others you need to use adb. Usually some form of instructions will be on the post you got the Mod from though.
[Vibrant General] soviet1942:
I cracked my glass on my screen and purchased a replacement online. I've found tutorials on how to replace the screen as a whole but I only need to replace the glass. The screen is fine. Any info in this?

Thanks beforehand.
[Vibrant General] gamikzone:
i dont know much about this in particular but u would have to open the phone up but u gotta be careful not to damage the touch sensors if you do replace it, or u could just sell it and put maybe 100 in for a used one ;)
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
If you want to replace the glass, the Super Amoled itself will have to be replaced as well. Unfortunately, the glass and the amoled screen are glued together which makes seperating the two nearly impossible without tearing/destroying the Super Amoled.
[Vibrant General] infestedd:
Not true. i replaced mine on the second atempt, on the first i cracked the amoled.

I really dont recomend you to do it yourself. Let a professional do this for you, but if you are really studborn.. here comes the info :

the border of the amoled is glued to the glass. the trick is that the amoled, is so fragile as an egg shell, to be honest, more fragile. since part of the amoled is glued to the back of the phone dispositives, any wrong trie to pull the glass, can crack the amoled.

So you need a hot dryer, and a lot of time and pacience to remove all the glue before trying to pull the glass. if you did not broke the glass on the borders or over the buttons (back, home, seach, settings) i recomend you to not lose your time and send for a professional, because the shattered pieces will stay over the screen and you will not be able to clean the amoled without damaging it.

Sorry for my english, hope it helped, but the best i can tell you, just send to a professional or there is a 90% you will screw it like on my first time
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Which is exactly why I said nearly impossible. OP would be better off buying a whole new screen or a cheap unit off of Craigslist.
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
Absolutely right! I remember the days I used to work as a cellphone technician repairing hardware damaged phones... a lot of people used to come to replace iphone glass.... people would buy iphone glass off ebay and have no clue how to take it off the screen...breaking the screen while doing so... and from my experience only a few!!!! a FEW!! technicians can do stuff like that.. you need BALLS and steady hands! and PATIENCE! google the topic she as much as you can find.

In other words from my experience you can try to sell your phone on craigslist for some change... and buy a used or stolen model for a low price! half of the phones on craigslist are stolen so ur not doing anything bad buying it, u just assume ur buying it for a good price while a thief tries to make a quick buck, just check the phone completely if it works... ear piece, speakers,, touch screen, internet signal,,, etc..

Good luck pal!

Unfortunate

Thats very unfortunate as a gorilla glass lens only costs 20 bucks whereas the entire display unit costs 100-140

No worries, change the build prop to the LG Optimus 2X settings and download from the market works a treat.

http://www.carrypad.com/2011/08/12/a-critical-look-at-the-interface-and-ergonomics-of-android/all/1/

Interesting article and the main reason none of the newer, more powerful phones interest me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] matte3560:
While i kind of agree with this guy, I've been annoyed by the small size of the screen on the Hero many times. When you want to check something quickly on your phone, the small screen size is fine. However, when you're using the phone to pass time (browsing the web while on road trips etc.) it can be really annoying to have a small screen. You have to constantly use your fingers to scroll up and down when reading, and viewing any sort of graphs is impossible. Bigger screens are usually better for gaming aswell, since you can see details better, and touch controls get bigger.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bamboo2005:
I am not happy,I can't do anything ..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] evaworld:
thats why i choosed desire hd over se arc cauz of it's screen ratio ,, to long that you cant manage it with one hand at all , and you know , playing with your phone while you driving with your 2 hands = go to hell !

good info. thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vikashhero:
The screen size is slightly thinner than an iPhone's by about 5mm, and some people might find it harder to type with because of that, but IMO, the screen size is just right. I can't imagine carrying around a phone with a 4.3" screen in my front pocket.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Habarug:
i think the best screensize is 3.7 -4.0 inch screens, i want the size because i surf a lot, but i still want it to be pretty portable
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FozzySteve:
I agree somewhat with the article, but I do find I want my Hero screen to be bigger. Maybe the size of the original Desire. But the larger screens do look nice too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] citizen_x:
Ultimately, you will all be tempted by the big touchscreen. Join the dark side.

Look at this all craze, manufacturers are testing even bigger sizes, +5inch, and along with the tablet spree, it looks like searching for the perfect size, perfect ratio.

A company with a fruit in it's logo knew it all along. 3.5 inch for a phone, 10 inch for a tab. Ekhm..

I'm just gonna playa smartass prophet and say that android tablets are gonna get bigger too. 12 inch, maybe 13 inch. But I doubt if much more without a breakthrough in battery technology. Li-ons would really suck on 13 inch tab, quad core.

Just wanted to ask if there is any possibility to put the s-lcd from the HD7s into the HD7 ... Just asking, I mean the phones are quite the same expect the display I think ... :D

SLCD in Tmobile HD7

Why isn't it possible. The connections look exactly the same on both models.
[HD7 Accessories] Ttblondey:
Can you get the slcd?
[HD7 Accessories] shawndh:
I know this is an old post, but just for the record, the answer is yes and no. I'll explain:

I repaired an HD7 a while ago and I damaged the LCD by mistake. I did some research and found out the Inspire and the HD7s LCDs are compatible. I had a spare LCD from an Inspire so I put it in the HD7. It fits perfectly and connects to the motherboard, no problem. But after playing with the phone for a while I noticed that the colors started to fade out whiter and whiter. The colors were not vibrant at all. After rebooting the phone the colors would look normal again. Then they would start fading more and more until everything looked washed out; almost black and white. I thought it was the phone at first.

I did some more research and realized that the Inspire and HD7s both use superLCD's, but the the regular HD7 used a regular LCD. Comparing phone reviews showed that this was the only difference between the newer HD7s and the older HD7. So I ordered a regular HD7 LCD and installed it and that solved the washed out color problem. I guess the SLCD was trying to draw more power than the phone was designed to send to the LCD?

Anyway, the HD7 and HD7s LCDs will both fit and work but they are NOT compatible. One uses a SLCD (note the "s") and one uses a regular LCD.

For the last week now when ever I charge the phone and unplug it it is still showing as charging do I just need to factory reset the phone or is the phone in need of repair cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treble4:
also when pulling battery and re inserting i get a yellow triangle with exclamation mark and a temp gage what does that mean ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
I have a similar problem.

No matter what charger I use, the phone randomly switches between charging and non-charging state.

Is this a problem with software or the port.

Just to clarify, I can hold the phone upside down, hanging from the charging cable, or wiggle the charger and it will continue to charge. The above error is just random. This leads me to believe it is a software or battery problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treble4:
well after flashing back to o2 ke7 all is well again so must of been software related

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
This happens to mine too. I'm on the stock unbranded firmware and haven't rooted our updated. This problem randomly appeared about a month ago.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazzTT:
I've just started seeing this problem now in the past few days.

When I unplug the charger, either the battery charging icon stays on, or the "Battery full, unplug charger" notification stays there.

The big problem is if I turn off the phone. After shutdown, the screen stays on showing two different icons (changes between them every few seconds). One icon is a battery half full or so, the other is an empty battery with a yellow triangle and a icon of a thermometer next to it.

When this happens, I can't turn on the phone. The only way I can turn on the phone when this happens is to plug in the charger, start up, then remove the charger again.

I'm on rooted KG2, XWKDD kernel. Bit worried about this, I'll try another ROM & kernel but I don't think it's software related?

Galaxy s2 car mode and charging port issue - resolved

HI,

I have been facing this issue with my galaxy s2.(When i have created samsung account and install Darky ROM 2 - XXKH3 ROM)

Issue:

1)Activation of CARD mode - automatically.

2)Charging automatically- though charger is not connected

3)Enabling the voice mode - automatically.

4)Battery draining problem.

5)auto handsfree speaker enabling

Solution:

There are two solution for the above problems:

1)Assume its not related to hardware (My case), i have wipe all the data(Using Darky Rom 2 tool), problem seems to occur even then.

I have updated the ROM to XXKG3_ODEXED. - that totally solved the problem.

I m using my S2 now for a week...no issue.

2)Assume its related to Hardware issue, (in some case's), you can clean the charging port by using thinner( nail polish remover - easy to get and cheap).

First u have to remove the battery, (preferably in direct sun light), use cotton to soak thinner, apply it on inner side of the port. keep the phone as it is for 20 minutes.(30 would be great).

Insert the battery, power on the phone.....problem solved.

I have tested it on 2 S2's, one with software problem and one with hardware issue.

Hope that will help....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arijitmitra:
same problem here..100 % same issue...what to do...this is pathetic
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azakan:
Same problem here, just after a month of having the phone started the problems. The five problems darshangkolhe said, but also: auto power-on of the phone when I switch it off, and what it is more annoying, it is very difficult to get detected by Kies when it is plugged to the PC. Sometimes it only starts charging and others nothing, not even charging the phone.

I am very dissapointed with Samsung, I have paid 500€ for what was supposed to be one of the best phones, but just after a month of use it is going crazy!!

I am bringing it to the Samsung´s technical support this week.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Take a toothbrush and brush the Micro-USB port vigorously. Fixed.

Having the same problem, fixed doing the above. This phone was awesome. But it just looks so much like its a big rush job with all the bugs that were there. The screen coloring. Now the USB-port.

Meh.. wondering about that 5 phone..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azakan:
Thanks prodygee, but I´ve already tried with a cotton bud with a bit of alcohol and no luck. I will try to get my phone fixed by the technical support or replaced.

I can not think about the 5 phone, I have spent 500€ not even 2 months ago, so for me another phone is not affordable.

mine has been fine since, but today it has started doing it again so its booked in for repair at CPW,technician states he has all the parts so will do it while i wait
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFC1795:
I read to many people getting told it wouldn't be covered under warranty even tho they never even had it near water. It's a bit of a gamble really, they may or may not decide to replace it and claim the person caused the damage. A difficult one to argue with the repairer.

I went the self repair route for that reason. Also I didn't want to sit without a phone for a long time and potentially get it back scratched which some have said has happened to them. For the £6.99 it cost me, I think it was still cheaper than my fuel or postage to send off ;)

And if anything else goes wrong with the phone, it would be hard for them to prove that the phone has been tampered with already thus voiding the warranty.
