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

Factory reset was one of the options I was trying to avoid. However I just performed a format/factory reset. And the problem is still there. When I shut down the phone restarts.

Also to add to the confusion the phone can also enter a state when I'm in the battery charging screen (Not booted phone) when a thermometer with a warning sign is pressent. However, I have waited for hours with the battery unplugged and everything is cold. That warning seams wierd to me and might be the root of all evil. That screen is pressent without a USB cable plugged in and that is also abnormal.

Any other options?

Thank you for helping.

/Anders.

I recorded the problem.

I cant post links in this forum due to:

"to prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!"

but paste this search string to youtube

"galaxy refuses restart" and it's the top clip

alternatively add "/watch?v=eBB_3qtgj68" after the youtube url.

Have you tried to hold down the Power button for 8 seconds? OR a battery pull for 10 minutes?

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuvalbar84:
yeah you should try and pull out the battery...

i had the same problem after I used the JIG on my phone.. it refused to shutdown, and kept rebooting it on each try to shutdown..

i pulled out the battery for awhile, and plugged it in and out to the charger..and it worked.

if it's still nagging you, try flashing a new kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersc:
Yes I tried pulling the battery and also used a battery from another S2 without any changes in the behaviour.

They talk about this problem at androidforums

androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2/377331-spurious-battery-temperature-warning.html

Seams like there is no known fix for this problem yet.

I turned in the phone to the local service center today. We'll see what they say.

Any updates regarding this? I'm currently having the same problem with my SGS2. :|
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aRc.:
Maybe your power button is faulty or stuck. Do you have a case? Is it somehow holding the button down after you release it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Generally this is caused by a dirty or faulty USB port. Shorts on specific pins with specific resistances will cause different behaviors.

Try cleaning the port with a dry clean toothbrush. If that doesn't work, take out the battery, and try cleaning the USB port with a q-tip and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Then let it dry before putting the battery back in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeBMaZTaH:
The power button is not faulty or stuck. But thanks. :)

I've already tried it and no luck. The technician told me that it is the USB Port problem sometimes also because of overcharging the phone. The USB Port can be fixed immediately but the problem is my SGS2 is a Korean S2. They told me that the port is different from the one's that they have here in the Philippines. Is it true?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel9895:
Even i used to have these problems. Phone shows charging or usb cable connected for no reason out of the blue. Device wont simply shut down and would start up again.

What i did was perform a hard reset. Pull the battery out first and clean the usb port a lil bit. After some time it vanished :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeBMaZTaH:
Until now, it's not happening to your S2 again? How did you clean the USB Port again?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel9895:
Well nothin much...i just took a little cotton and cleaned whatever i can. And then i kept the phone off for about a day or two. And when i switched it back on voila the issue had disappeared

The only problem am facing now is the home button issue taking me to voice command. But then again i froze it with titanium backup. No issues after that :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel9895:
And yeah...been 8 months since i last encountered that problem. Another thing is i used to Yank the device out from the usb/charger cable when plugged in. Now i carefully remove it without much force. Maybe that helped too. Just saying :-)

[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Check MD5 hashes on the RUU, if they aren't the same as the ones uploaded, then you must download another one.

Reflash the RUU and everything will be okay as you are not bricked. Not even close I believe :D
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Basically this. Bricked means the unit is as useful as a brick, a paperweight.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Download again and rerun the RUU. You'll be fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baron_FEL:
Hi guys,

I decided to set up my linkedin account with HTC sense after discovering the plugin in HTC Hub. I added my account as usual and discovered that instead of attaching the account to my existing own contact (i.e. 'Me' in the 'People' app), it created a new contact with my name just for my linkedin profile! This only happens for me, not my contacts...

Has anyone experienced this too or did I run into a weird bug? Do you guys have a suggestion or some sort of a solution to merge the two (somehow, I can't link the contact with 'Me')? Removing and readding the account doesn't seem to help. I know that's a small inconvenience, but it's quite annoying to have to scroll down to acceess my profile (got lots of contacts and my first name starts with a V :S).

Thanks

Hi

I've an p506 thrive unlocked for all carriers and rooted with clockworkmod.

I've installed the recovery(always by cwm) and backed up the rom.

Recovery has the "colour glitch"but seems working fine.

the only thing i need is to locale the phone to italian language, i've tried more locale but it' very poor and doesn't translate sistem menus.

now the question.:

Is there a working rom with italian language ? (i suppose no)

Can i use an european rom for lg-p500 (the only model that match the thrive)

Every suggestions are welcome.

Thanks Cheopex

Speeds in Puerto Rico have been really slow since a couple of months ago. All my friends with Sprint have called Customer Service and they always say that they are making changes to the network and that this problem is temporary. But it have not changed! In fact its getting worse. Yesterday I was really close to a cell tower. I mean I could see the effin light on the top blinking. I could not even get roaming signal! I was not alone as my friend with an Evo and another one with a Samsung where not able to to connect either...

I am strongly considering changing to ATT... They have good Androids now and at least I would have a signal and would not have to pay 10 extra bucks...

[Nook Color Accessories] refreblast:
I received my Otterbox Commuter Case for the Nook Color yesterday. I have had some time to play around with it and I must say that it feels very "defended" against other stuff that wouldnt of taken your NC near without the case. The only complaint I have about it is the flap that covers the Power/USB port is a little flimsy. Im afraid I am going to break it off opening it. The case has a rubber bottom with a plastic outer shell. Overall it is very nice!
[Nook Color Accessories] Moshe5368:
If I may ask, where did you find the otterbox and what does it cost? I use my nook everywhere and could use some serious protection.
[Nook Color Accessories] tsg2513:
I am using the Trident Case which I believe is similar to the Otterbox. The one thing I don't like about it is that the silicon rubber part of the case attracts dust and lint like a magnet attracts iron. Are you seeing the same problem with the Otterbox?
[Nook Color Accessories] GadgetFreak:
I've bee using the Commuter case since late June and I have minimal problems with lint. A little gets on there, but it wipes off easy.
[Nook Color Accessories] refreblast:
I got mine from the Otterbox Website and it costs me $50 after shipping and all.

I havent had any of those issues with mine. But the outer case has a hard plastic cover so that might be why I am not having any issues.

Yup, Are you having any issues of thinking that the cover for the power port might rip off?
[Nook Color Accessories] GadgetFreak:
It has actually been fairly robust. Much better than the one on Seidio case for my EVO. It tore off. I have not had any issues with the Otterbox on my NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] refreblast:
Thats good to know. I hope I dont have the issue, but if I do, I guess I will just have to get over it.
[Nook Color Accessories] Bruce777:
Love it

I LOVE my otterbox commuter case!

I paid around $35 for mine from Amazon about 3 months ago...worth every penny.

It makes the NC feel twice as heavy but in a really good way. Not to mention the very pleasing rugged esthetics. I have another otterbox commuter for my CDMA HTC Hero; it's about a year and a half old but when i take the phone out of the case it still looks as new as the day I bought it from Sprint!

The only thing I see that the TRIDENT

may

have an advantage over the Otterbox is that it seems the Trident case has a little rubber flap for access to the SD card -- which the otterbox doesn't. You need to completely remove the otterbox to gain access to the SD. It will be a personal preference though, it doesn't bother me a bit because I've never removed the card since I loaded CM7 into the internal memory.

Long Story Short ... GO FOR IT! (and no I don't work for them, I just really like em :)
[Nook Color Accessories] refreblast:
The only reason I really need access to my SD Card slot is to make it bootable, other than that, i use Dropbox to transfer files & apks.
[Nook Color Accessories] refreblast:
Just a little update. I have had the case for a good two months now and have loved every minute of using it. I use my NC is school every day and people always ask to see it. With the case on it, I don't have any issues with letting others hold it (everyone just wants to play Angry Birds anyways). I said when I first got it that I wouldn't use the screen protector that came with it but I have had it installed for about 6 weeks and it looks good as new. My Nook gets thrown around inside my bookbag and the case and screen protector make it to where I don't have any issues just throwing it into my bookbag. Overall i have been very pleased and will likely purchase another Otterbox case for the next phone I get.
[Nook Color Accessories] Snoshrk:
FYI - There is an awesome app called NookColorUMS that can mount the boot partition so that a Windows machine can access the Boot Partition via USB while the SD is sill in the NC. Haven't pulled the SD in months.

Only caveats:

1- Must remember to "eject" the SD before unplugging the USB

2- May just be a win7 issue...have to open the SD as a portable device in order to write to it...:mad: win7 poorly documented "feature":mad: - took me forever to figure this out :o

How much thickness do these ottebrox and trident cases add? Im a little hesistant as the website states the thickness goes up to 18mm from 12 but is it noticeable in day to day use?
[Nook Color Accessories] gmanvbva:
Thickness is noticeable but worth it imo. I have the Trident cases. There are $24 at meretline.com.

I used to love Otterbox but they are overpriced (unless you find a good sale) imo.

Same with Siedio.

I had to return 3 Otterbox's for my EVO due to poor design.

Otterbox is living on reputation at this point imo.
[Nook Color Accessories] atr73:
Does anyone know where I can get a otterbox for Nook Color? Amazon currently has a 3-4 months wait. Does the original Nook case work from otterbox?

p.s, I know this thread is old. But trying to stay on topic.
[Nook Color Accessories] Snoshrk:
You might be able to find one on Google / eBay... I have seen then at my local BooksAMillion store.

No, the Otterbox for the Nook (original/not Nook Color) will not work. It is the wrong shape.

The trident cases are a pretty good alternative, however I am pretty happy with the Otterbox currently on my NC. :D
[Nook Color Accessories] atr73:
thanks, but none BAM in the west coast. I seen some online for $50+ which is not worth it. Because the NC is just little over $100.
[Nook Color Accessories] Android311:
When I get some extra money hopefully I can buy one :p
[Nook Color Accessories] binalith:
IMHO

Pretty new here, just thought I'd weigh in on this one. I've been using otterboxes for my Droid Incredibles (1&2) for a couple years and I've been thinking about getting one for my nook. They are awesome BUT the one thing that has stopped me so far is I tend to actually take my devices out with me, everything from work to camping and the otterboxes (as someone has mentioned) absolutely EAT fine dust. When I was landscaping I would have to take my droid out of the otterbox every night and thoroughly clean it, right down to removing the battery plate and I'm pretty sure I've lost some reception capability from the antenna contacts getting worn by the dust. Now of course the nook isn't going to be riding on the mower but it was such a problem with my droid that I just gave up on the cases entirely.

[XPERIA X8 General] Superuser.Angga:
wow :eek:

a lot people have battery drain :eek:
[XPERIA X8 General] Baalik6:
Yesterday, I've observed huge battery drain during the day .. about -15%/hour while doing some basic tasks on the phone (email, IM, inet browsing). Later, I've found out, that auto brightness was set way too high and had to manually decrease the brightness levels. After that, power consumption dropped to about -5-7%/hour while doing the same tasks as before. The display value in battery use menu also dropped from 70% to 30%.

The idle battery drain is OK... about -1%/hour with only GSM network on.

IMHO if your x8 battery is draining too fast, check doixanh's FAQ and then check the brightness levels...
[XPERIA X8 General] mimorqleko:
Hi,

I'm afraid that the battery consumption is not related to GingerDX itself but to the additional software and phone usage.

In order to improve battery life in GingerDX do the following:

1. REMOVE or freeze Google Maps (ownhere). Use a different software instead (like maverick pro 1.94, which has google maps enabled and it is not consumig your resources) :)

2. Also, you may want to remove dsp manager (use the built in equalizer in your favorite music player instead).

3. Disable data MANUALLY. Use the built-in power widget to disable mobile data when you're not using it. Don't use automated 3g disable software because it will drain your battery too.

Your battery should last for 2+ days with normal phone usage. No need to mess with the good working autobrightness, you can leave it on.

[XPERIA X8 General] Superuser.Angga:
Wow :eek: Still battery drain use this Doixanh Suggestion

Clear battery stats in xRecovery

Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.

Don't set brightness too high

Don't install too many unused apps.

Turn off WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when unused

Turn OFF LED Succession. It's turned of by default, but maybe there are some people still leaving it on.

Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past) for me, even when I stopped listening to music.

Hi. Im using GDX v012 and I don't know if I'm having a battery drain..... in last night battery drop about 17-20% in standby... with all the things off (wifi, data, gps).

So, i went to check the graphs and i noticed that the cell was active during all night....

somebody can tell me why?

and second, maybe the battery drop a little faster because of my signal strength.. but not so fast....
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
GDX v012, DSPManager manually pushed back into the system and Google Maps + Streetview from the Market (can't live without it); apart from the apps I already had installed.

Depending on the usage of my phone (calls, WiFi, GPS) I get 1-3 days on a charge.

Mind you, I don't use the phone for listening to music or watching video [EDIT] or gaming; that's where my Liberty Tab G100 (mod-flashed into a Iconia A500) performs a whole lot better thanks to the Tegra 250 chipset and faster CPU [/EDIT].
[XPERIA X8 General] hunff:

GingerDX v012

Yea, I kinda just upgraded to GingerDX v012, from v010. Somehow I missed v011.

Anyway, I realised that v012 drains my battery a lot more than v010. I wonder why.

Just today, in 3 hours of idle mode, my battery drained from 80% to 60%. That's alot o.o

Any tips on how to reduce this battery drain problem?
