for anyone who isn't just call Sprint. They don't seem to care anymore and they just give it to you for no reason...you used to need a compelling reason ("my work IT department needs it for security clearance at some of our clients" worked every time back when they would say no more than yes)

1. Which version of Synergy?

2. Did you recovery old mms data?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] manishmatu:
Hi experts,

I have a HD2, running HyperDroid CM7 v3.0.1 (based on Android 2.3.5). I MUST have 3G/2G always on, as I receive push notifications from WhatsApp, CNN, WordsWithFriends, etc. Also, I have disabled all background automatic syncing for all my apps (confirmed by 3G Watchdog Pro). I am a medium-heavy HD2 user.

Currently, my standby battery drain is 11-15 mA (measured by Battery Monitor Widget). The original battery does'nt last me a day.

I had installed JuiceDefender for a week ... but, it showed no improvement in battery life (with customised settings, to take into account my above requirements). I uninstalled it yesterday.

Can I improve my battery life under these circumstances ? I need my battery to last about 3-4 hours more ... so, that I can charge it just once a day every evening. I don't want the extended battery with the ugly hump.

I had searched the forum ... but, could'nt find an answer for my situation.

Thanx in advance.

cheers,

PS. Mods: Apologies for the double posting .... I later realized, I would get a better response in this sub-forum. :)

I'm currently on XXKG1, but I think data connection with this firmware is kinda unstable. :D

[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:

You can get stock blue by setting your ctc or product code to glb which is globe's regional code.

I'll note the CSC GALAXY search keyword that you mentioned though. I might use it for XXKI3. It's 2.3.5 but doesn't have the GLB CSC..

You may be right. But I can no longer get 3G or H in my room where I originally always had 3G or H. This only happened after flashing to XXKI3 with KOR CSC. Went back to DXKI3 with GLB CSC and everything's fine. Right now, i have a constant 3G connection.

ndi pa ko pwede mag upload ng links e. pag ok na post ako ng screenshots.

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Why do you want to change it? Makes no difference because you're not updating through kies anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] arsidyumang1985:
If ever i want to switch into 3G network, will my KOREAN CSC offer me that connectivity?

I will not use it now since i always use wifi connectivity, I'm just presuming that i will need it in the future, though I'm currently on the SUN network (sabi sa recent posts wala daw 3G coverage ngaun ang SUN or mahina ngaun). Maybe I'm just being paranoid to think that my phone should use a CSC on a DX region rather than KOREAN CSC.

Lastly, I'm confused bout what Hot Ice mentioned, is it DXKI3 (im assuming its firmware that he got back on) or is it a typo error and should be DXKI2?

I think it really depends on the signal from the provider. Been through many roms and with globe you can't tell the diff. H+ with globe is really fast though. You guys are lucky because with smart I get crappy speed.

well its best if you have the DXLP7 which is intended for our region. Battery life at LP7 is good, the deep sleep is really really good.

running 58 hours with 40 percent left. though i must admit the wifi is power hungry, on the other hand mobile data battery drain is good.

perhaps its best you disable the bloatware and unused apps, ICS has a cool built in feature for you to do this

Hi, i have so many question, please answer ASAP.

i have my SGS2 via odin, and downloaded firmware from sammobile.

at first i download the XTC version (firmware for philippines) and it didn't work keeps restarting. after awhile i download the GLB version and it work.

What is the difference between this too? what is the official?

What version thus kies upgrade too?

after i finish the flash, i plug my sgs2 to my computer and open kies, and said "your device is not supported" and i think my firmware is official. what is the problem?

and are they any list of "SAFE TO DISABLE APPS"?

and lastly, i took a picture portrait. and save to my computer but its rotated, is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
GLB stands for GLOBE, SMA for SMART and so on so fort official firmware here in our region is DXKL7

Update your kies to the latest version 2.2.0.12014 and let it do its magic :) when you want to update your phone through kies also there a lot of ways to update our phone not just kies but also through ODIN.

how about double tap on none rooted, is there a way to remove that vlingo app?

until now there's no update to disable this though vlingo promised to put option to disable. well perhaps on newer version of phones ;(
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Xtc means that it is generic software for Philippines. Glb is for globe. Xtc is better. If you are encountering problems always do a factory reset.

If it says device not supported that means you didn't set your csc properly. Search Samsung csc in market and download the app to correctly set it. Please only use firmware from intratech's thread.

You can disable any system apps in ics by going to the settings then applications menu and individually disable the apps you want frozen.

It's normal, just rotate it in your PC using picture preview or paint or some image editing app.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Yes, the freezing is similar.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:

[Galaxy S II General] PsychoticPrankster:
hello everyone!

I'm newly registered here in the forums, but I've been a lurker for a while.

I got my SGSII last october, began reading stuff about it since november.

two days ago, I summoned the courage to finally try flashing a theme. I've done a nandroid backup before flashing anything. And have rooted previously without any problems. The theme that I got for my phone was ICS Domination by Vertumus. followin every instruction, I got it working without problems. The thing is, after I flashed it, I found another theme that I like.

I didnt know any other way to remove the theme except through restoring my nandroid backup. My problem is that after the restore, whenever I receive any txt/call from a number in my contact list, the contact would not show up.:confused: my phone would only show the number? I tried searching for the problem first, but somehow, i cant narrow down the searches exactly to find what i need, the closest thing i got is a nexus s having the same problem. Does anybody here know how i can solve my problem?

If anybody could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
^ welcome to the sg2 world and here

What ROM are you using? If you are using checkrom you can download from the kitchen stock theme restorer.

Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache, see if the problem persist do a full wipe instead. Back up apps and data.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
OT:

I helped a friend update her phone to ICS. I find this odd, whenever she reads sms the keyboard automatically pops up. Even from the lockscreen, whenever she slides that red circle notification, you should open that sms thread to read it but her keyboard always pops up, so she has to press the back key always.

Even when opening the sms app, when youre going to read, the keyboard automatically pops up. Does not happen on mine lol. And i cant seem to find the settings for this

BTW pure stock LP7
[Galaxy S II General] PsychoticPrankster:

You could have accidentally done a factory reset during your restore thus losing all your contacts data.

[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
Niether...because Flashing a Kernel is totally different to cleaning your dalvik cahe.

Dalvik is the OS VM, which as we know in the hierarchy it is the Kernel -> OS.

But basically, it is better to clean your dalvik if you want to flash a new ROM because you need to get rid of the remnants of the old ROM.

are you trying to say that your ICS does not have a phone dialer?

That is odd. I do have it. Its on the PHONE, then there are three tabs, and the first one is the keypad which looks similar to the one on GB

Under Keypad there you have your dialer, there is a call button and even an SMS button. In short looks like GB dialer
