there are data & gps apps...so if you don't use a data connection you can't download content...that's why i recommend iGO for android;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zy-el:
he needs not to download content, he needs to connect to GPS without enabling data connection. Anyway, problem solved by installing patched version of angrygps and editing operation mode of gps module
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefpaul:
that why i recommended iGO, it uses the maps preloaded on the sd card...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zy-el:
you completely ignore my messages? or my english is SO bad?

HIS GPS WON'T CONNECT WITHOUT DATA CONNECTION IS UP! Not the freaking nav application! Maverick uses preloaded maps too, GPS Status&Toolbox doesn't use maps at all, Turbo GPS doesn't use maps, every program that uses GPS to receive location or establishing connection with sattelites DOESN'T receive location or establish connection without data connection!

Now the problem is clear?

As i told, problem is solved

And iGO is total ****

Damn tell me that "HIS GPS WON'T CONNECT WITHOUT DATA CONNECTION IS UP" from the first time... btw this is a rom related problem...;)

When I have my phone hooked up to hdmi it seems to work fine except for sometimes the screen on the tv goes blank for a second or two than loads back as if I had pulled the plug and put it back in. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it supposed to happen or can I fix this somehow? It is pretty annoying when playing a game or on the internet and the tv just goes blank. It doesn't seem like anything is really causing it. It seems for random than anything else.

hello people,

So this is my first ever post on this website, even though ive read alot through these forums already. Im wondering if i should change my phone because im on a 2 year unlimited contract wich is expensive. So here are my problems:

1. yellow tint on the left side, it's much worse when in a dark room and my eyes are adjusted to the dark (i know alot of people are experiencing this).

2. terrible banding, I even experience banding in android market and on my dialer buttons. i see banding when watching my own pictures in the gallery, but when i watch em on my pc it's gone.

3. black/grey 'splashes' or 'stains' (dont know what to call them) when looking at a black background. Very noticable when my eyes are adjusted to the dark and it's very ugly,it kinda looks like the screen is glued on the device very unprofessionally.

so what's your opinion? should i return or wait for a firmware update that atleast removes the yellow tint and banding? im not rooted atm because i dont want any warranty problems now.

thanks :)

Since you've read a lot here, you're aware that every one of your issues has been reported before and have their own special - make that very, very special - threads.

Post there and prepare to meet some very interesting people. You'll get opinions. A lot of them. Whether you'll be any the wiser afterwards is a different matter.
[Galaxy S II General] Lulabby:
You should return it back if you could, when you choose for another one, you should go with a friend who has a good screen or choose in a batch the one that is brightest.

Hi Just got my new tab 10.1, so far very impressed but having troubles connecting to kies ( my galaxy s connects fine)

Also I have synced some music from wmp to the tab, but when went to play on the music player the albums weren't there, eventually found them in "my files" in the music folder! How do I get them to the player? same happened with a film too but in the movie file!

No thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crik91:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] theredone51:
I doubt you did, because when you search for "Dual Sim" on the Galaxy S2 section that topic is the first hit..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crik91:
Really? I tried not only in this section, I did a search in all sections and Google.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
The point of a forum is to ask questions, questions will always be repeated, since new users join regularly. Dual sim is a topic that should be refreshed, since new developments could happen. But unfortunately, I do not think there are any new developments, the consensus is to save your money. None of the dual sim adapters currently available have been said to work. There are no reports of successful usage of dual sim adapters with the S2. I would LOVE to have one since I travel between HK and China frequently.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 7gismo:
I successfully use a dual sim adapter with my S2. Naturally, it's a switchable system, so you won't get both of your sim cards active at the same time.

I'm using an older generation of Magic SIM, so sim cards work in GSM mode only.

I bought this version of Magic SIM couple of years ago for few bucks literally, for me works just fine.

P.S.: I guess this would be a first report of a working dual sim adapter you've heard about:cool:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crik91:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
Hey guys. I am quite new at the forums and I currently own an EVO 4G which I recently rooted with S-Off and also have Root Explorer installed.

I seem to be having an issue with replacing my Boot Animation. I have searched google far and wide and tried different methods of replacing the animation and have had no luck. I see the EVO 4G HTC white screen and then either a blank black screen or the default flashing "Android" symbol until my phone finishes booting up and Im sent to my main page.

I have tried placing files initially into my Data/Local page but then realized that my boot animation files are located in my system/customize/resource file under the name "spc_bootanimation.zip. The first time, I renamed the original file, but then replaced it when the new zip file did not work. I have tried replacing that file countless times with three to four different renamed boot animation zips with turning "write" and "read only" settings on and off, changing all sorts of capitalizations, ect. None have had any luck. They replace just fine, but have no effect on the phone's animation. Ive also deleted the "Final" mp3 and one of the jpg backgrounds that were in that folder. I also adjusted the permissions to what they need to be and still no luck.

These are the current animations Ive tried.

Red Rage

Linux Droid Log

Chaos Plain Black

Honeycomb with Tron

The last played the audio but nothing else happened.

Any help on this matter would be appriciated. Im hoping it is just something simple I overlooked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben1221:
Put this in the search box...."custom boot help"

It explains in this page on how I successfully booted up a boot animation. If I helped you hit the thanks button :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
Im going to try putting the spc_bootanimation.zip in my data/local folder and the SPC_animation_final.mp3 file in the system/customize/resource folder. This is what you did, right? Just to make sure?

Also, did you change the permission on the bootanimation file? Thank you again. I really want to get this working.

Update: I tried the above instructions and it still didnt work. Instead of the black screen, im getting the stock flashing android one. Also, the sound effect cut out. When I put both back into the system/customize/resource folder, I get the blank black screen and the sound cuts back on. I still dont know how to get the animation to work though. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben1221:
if using root explorer

you need to unzip it and take out the bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3, the mp3 file gets move with root explorer to system/customize/resource and the Htc_bootanimation file gets moved to data/local.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
My files are named a bit different but I did as you did putting the spc_bootanimation.zip in the data/ local folder and the mp3 in the system/ customize/ resource folder and still nothing. I get three flashing android symbol meaning it does not recognizea replacement file at all. .

I did play with the permissions and used the same pattern everyone else has been using. It is all three in the first Collum checked and then the next one to the right on the "user" tab. Is that right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfish1883:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
That was the first thing I tried.. sadly it didn't work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I've tried it quite a few different ways. I either get the blank black screen or three android flashing screen
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven 1:
What Rom are you using ? Or is it stock ? I have it under data/local named hTC_bootanimation.zip the other Rom I used I had it under system/custumize/resource named just bootanimation.zip. notice that spelling and caps count.

I can't post pictures but the permissions should look like an upside Down "L" or a flip flopped "7"

Hopes this helps. Don't know what else to say
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Rename the file to the bootanimation. Use es file manager [make sure r/w is enabled from the settings menu] or root explorer [enable r/w from the button at the top], then reboot. You may have bad files, because I know that one works, as I'm currently using it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
I'm currently using s-off. I made sure to keep the permissions in that order. I've also tried renaming files and nothing works even after checking spelling and case. My stock boot animation was listed under "spc_bootanimation.zip". I renamed each of my downloaded ones that and replaced. I have tried all case of 'spc'. . I've even taken "spc" out of the name completely. Was I supposed to rename the zip something else?. Also, the desc file is supposed to be in the zip file right. Mine all are but I wanted to check
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben1221:
Once u download the zip file, extract it and take out the bootanimation file place it in data/local and then take the audio clip out and make sure to change the last letters to mp3 and set that into the system/customize/resource. That should do it. And make sure those permissions are set to what it needs to be. Let me know if that works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
Just tried it. All I get is the flashing android logo. No dice. Im not sure why it isnt working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben1221:
And you deleted the the other bootanimation file right? or named it differently so it won't read the current bootanimation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
Yes indeed, sure did. I did this yesterday as well and it no longer recognizes my bootanimation file in the data/local folder, which is why I think the stock android one comes up. It only seems to recognize it in the system/customize/resources folder. Maybe it is specifically for the EVO. Im not sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben1221:
Try a different file to download. Maybe its not meant for the EVO. If it was it could be a bad download file. But i am running out of ideas. For sure it has to be the file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kai_Wolf:
I just downloaded another boot animation specifically meant for the evo and it came with a folder called META-INF that you are supposed to put into the root of your SD card. I did that and it worked! The animation I am trying to use though does not include this and maybe that's why it wont work.

I wanted to know if anyone has an EVO 4g and can see if this boot animation works for you.....This is the animation that does not work that I am trying to use. It is the animation that would not work for me. Maybe someone can see why it wont work for the EVO.

Yesterday I was unable to turn on my phone. It loads the normal bootscreen, then the T-Mobile startup animation plays. It gets stuck at the huge S on the screen. A lot of people suggest flashing through Odin, but I'm not familiar with doing that. I saw the "[Solution Thread] Step by Step on how to flash any Gingerbread ROM.", but my device is froyo, and I just want to stay with stock ROM. I imagine I just follow the steps, except substitute stock with step 3. Where can I download the stock ROM though?

Thanks. I probably missed a thread explaining exactly what I'm asking, but if anyone could deal with a noob like me who knows nothing, that'd be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I did some goggling and found this. It looks pretty reliable, but can someone approve it for me? I'd rather not screw up my device:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
I'm not exactly sure of what you've done so far (not in the mood to run through all the links) our how it qualifies as "successful" considering the issue remains. Anyway this is what you can do for a fresh start:

1) download the following to your computer:

a) "odin"

b) "kc1 stock + root"

c) "super one click"

d) "kies mini"

2) Open Odin on your computer

3) Load up Odin and ALL of the KC1 files(note, Odin will repartition)

4) Flash and let the phone reboot.

5) Load super one click and UNroot

6) Load kies mini and let it update your phone kd1

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NomNuggetNom:
what do you mean Odin will repartition? Does that mean I'll lose my data?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your data, that's not on your sd, is already gone unless you:

1) have a nandroid backup

2) created a titanium backup

Yeah, unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
ok. can you try getting into recovery mode? if not, then you should be able to get into download mode. make sure odin is up and running prior to you plugging the phone into the computer.

After finishing with Odin, it boots into recovery mode anyway. I can still get into download mode also, and yes I made sure it was up and running.
