[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tombias:
I have a bricked galaxy s which doesn't do anything. Windows 7 reconizes an unknown device and it's not possible to install the samsung driver. Windows says that it allready has the right driver.

I can't seems to reincarnate my galaxy s. Only this small sign of live in windows 7.

It happened when I was flashing 2.3.5 and the connection went down just seconds after the start of flashing so I guess the bootloaders are corrupt.

Anyone any idea how to solve this one?

Great puzzle, ain't it? :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tombias:
No it does not go in any mode(recovery nor download) at all.

But I believe the device isn't totally dead because windows recognize an unknown device.

Also I've flashed an ATT Rom by accident (GingerBlur) is there an easy way to return to my stock UK T Mobile rom?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PakaPakaxz:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalgel:
Hi,

I actually picked the S2 over the Sensation because of the slightly higher specs and the fact that phone has 16gb internal memory. Being new to android (switch from iPhone) I really don't get what device memory is and why it's filling up so fast. I have barely installed 5 tiny apps and already 140Mb out of the 1.97Gb has already been used. I installed loads of apps on my iPhone and I intend to do that same on my new one so could someone please explain this concept of device memory and what exactly is stored in there. Also, if I run out of device memory, how do I free it up or increase the 1.97Gb limit?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
2GB /data rest as internal sd card, system partition, cache, etc.

You can move apps to sd card if the data partition is full.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
Relax, there's plenty of space. I've more than 80 apps installed, and they uses 664MB, so around 240 apps before memory is filled up... :) Remember that large games like Gameloft games installs their main data on the 12GB partition. And there is also a possibility to move most of the apps to that area as well, but it is unlikely that you need that.

The 140MB used on your phone probably includes some pre-installed apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalgel:
Phew! That's big relief... Thanks so much. Just one last small doubt, I realized that only some apps are allow to be moved to the SD card while others like facebook have the this option greyed out. Why is this exactly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yankies77:
some apps have the ability to be moved to sd card while others dont due to the way they are built..

( i have 1.5gb free after installation of all the necessarily apps)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaicp:
Hi!

I want to unlock my sgs2. I'm happy with the stock rom, so i don't want to root and anything...Asking my carrier to give me the unlock code will cost me 100 euros (!!!). So that's a no-no for me. Recently i came across this site samsungimeiunlock(dot)com which offers the unlock code based on IMEI for 20 dollars. They state that this process takes 15 minutes top. Did any of you try this site? is it legit or is it a scam?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charon420:
I believe there is a free app on the market that will get you the unlock code .. From chainfire called s2 sim unlock i think.. Might need root though.. Not sure
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaicp:
yes it exists, but it needs the phone to be rooted...I don't want root it.I don't want to modify the rom in any way. :)

This is simple, if you do not want to make any modifications to the rom to use the free solutions

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krooked22:
hahaha this logic is seriously retarded

whats wrong with you dude?

Root the phone (5 min) , download chainfires app, unlock your phone (takes 1 min), then unroot it

I dont understand people

I want this and that but I dont want to root, isnt that what rooting is for?

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

after you root it and get the unlock code you can unroot it and it will be back to its unmodified state. stock your phone is locked, so if you unlock it you are already modifying what is stock, so why not just root

what can i do?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
You can't install it because it is a system application. If you download a program like 7zip or WinZip (assuming you're on a windows machine) you can go into the zip files for those roms and replace the camera app in /system/app/ with the MIUI one. Alternatively you can push it to that file via ADB or a terminal app but I've never had much success with those.

I've managed to slide the 3 point UK plug off without any problems but can someone please tell me how to swap the British connection for the European 2 point plug connection please??
[Desire General] Antcodd:
Hi,

That is clearly the wrong plug adapter. It looks like just a standard travel adapter that you plug the UK plug into or something (making the charger stick further out from the wall)? If anyone does know where to get proper interchangable adapters please let us know - I have the same problem with having a euro plug (which looks the same as your top one but with the bottom one's prongs) and wanting an NZ/Australia one. You can buy a travel adapter set from HTC that includes all of the plugs, but it also includes another charger and is rather expensive (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=196228&phone=196001). It's actually cheaper to just buy one of their new style ones it seems (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=201954&phone=196001).

Alternatively you could buy a 3rd party microUSB charger - just make sure the charger is rated for 1A or it will charge slowly.

edit: Looking carefully it looks like you might have the adapter plug for the new style charger rather than the old style charger - the plug on the picture looks rather similar

Sorry I can't be more help,

Regards,

Anthony
[Desire General] roscoe141:
Ahh I see. I think I'll just stick with the 3 point plug and get another travel adapter.

I don't get it not even a year yet

BTW I'm stock froyo/ rooted

Bad battery ? Any one else experience this? I have juice defender set CPU

Battery stats say main cause is "cell standby" any tricks to fix this?

No I'm not going to gb

[T-Mobile LG G2x] AllAboutAndroids:
Well, in the end, that's the best that froyo can do for the G2X...

I had Froyo and i pulled off 6hrs, when i got GB i was able to pull off 8, so yea, juice defender really wouldn't give you that much more battery life, the best shot is to upgrade the ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
i would consider updating it :/ i've never had froyo but since i've been using gb i get 15+ hours out of my phone and that's with heavy texting, internet browsing, some netflix watching and a little gaming. but cell standby seems to be my biggest problem too i wish i could fix that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Running froyo I was getting at least 14-16 hours.

Usually bad battery life can be accredited to less-than-optimal user settings, heavy device usage, or there's a rogue app that's sucking your battery down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
and as you can see i still have about half a battery left. the only precaution i really take is that my brightness is almost down to zero. and on my old phone it used to show in the battery settings if i used a certain application such as internet or ebuddy. i have no idea why it won't show those on this device so you can't see my heavy internet usage, gaming and some netflix watching.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
and just for reference i'm running complete stock no root or anything. i'm now on one day and two hours worth of battery with 30% still left

you got better battery life using froyo? that's the exact opposite of what i've been hearing

Have you tried booting into recovery and erasing battery data? That greatly improved battery life on my Nexus S after it had undergone multiple ROM flashes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aplsux:

Holy **** I finally found someone with WIND Lol! Okay, what are your settings though? Do you have it set to WCDMA Only?
