Yep, KI4 includes english (US) I guess, so it shouldn't bother you.

I have to stick to UHKG7 because european roms don't include brazilian portuguese... :(

Why not use Odin, mate? Then you can have the latest fw version. :)
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
question: I wanted to check out if the new firmware is available in my country, so i just restored (from cwm) my original firmware (cf-root kernel), reflashed a original kf3 kernel.

But Kies message is "You cannot update this device type".

Did i forgot to restore something original? besides the "root" everything else (rom + kernel) is original.

Well np i go back to miui i dont rly care atm, but in future if icecream is released, i prolly want to try it and having a working kies makes it faster.

Any suggestion?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Its a roll-out beginning with Nordic countries as posted here on XDA on this very section .

That is via Kies official Samsung product updates .

OTA may even follow .

[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Seriously, man. Ice Cream will be melted loooong before it shows up on KIES. If/when it shows up and you want it sooner, you'll more than likely need to flash it via Odin. KIES is limited by carrier releases. My SII wouldn't update via KIES either. Odin is the standard around here for a reason. It's safer, and it allows you to try what YOU want when YOU want it. Not when your carrier and/or Samsung releases it.
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
Hope so, thanks for the heads up

So, how come Poland has got an official 2.3.4 update then..?

Latest on Kies are:

AUT = Switzerland I9100XWKI4/I9100OXXKI2 (Android 2.3.4)

Does anyone have wifi tethering working without paying the $30 to Verizon? The problem seems to be whether the Bionic is seen as an ad-hoc network or as an AP. My Xoom (wifi only) won't talk to the Bionic as an adhoc network.

Any ideas?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
Are you sure that it is really work without modifications?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
Yes I am positive. I tethered my galaxy tab to my bionic. I just searched for bluetooth devices, paired and that was it. Keep in mind though its not super fast, but I was getting 1 or so mb download speed with 2 bars and 3g cutting out at my house. Its a dead zone where I live.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
Did you check CPU usage at tethering? I am sure that it use 100% of one CPU (50% of dual CPU) because dnsmasq have a bug.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
No that I didn't check. I would assume it would use the same as the wifi tether app does on other phones. I'll run it for a while to get a benchmark for you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
Actually I just checked. I tethered for about a half hour before and Bluetooth is up to 11%. Its not showing how many cores are being used. But that's not a bad percentage
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
It is wrong. Bluetooth PAN use absolutely different way. It has to use much less energy because the do not use the WiFi AP. And I guess that Bluetooth tethering is not detectable yet.

I use OS monitor (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eolwral.osmonitor&feature=search_result) to check CPU usage. Just connect your tablet and check CPU usage in OS monitor. It would show about 50% of CPU usage by System process.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1271474
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
Is your battery drain 11% for half hour? Or you look at bluetooth usage in battery manager? You will never see this usage as bluetooth usage because it used by system process. Check it in OS monitor or ...just touch you phone...I guess that it should be hot...very hot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
I checked it under battery manager. Other than tethering Bluetooth was never on. 11% was the CPU drain under Bluetooth. I have an otter box case on so if there was heat I wouldn't feel it for a while. I just don't like taking the case off, its a pain in the ass
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
It is not bluetooth CPU usage. DNSMASQ is system process....not bluetooth. But it started on Bluetooth PAN connection as DHCP server. And I am not sure that you can see System usage in battery manager. What is the real battery drain in half hour?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
I downloaded os manager. I ran a few sites while connected and then checked. System is at 24% os manager is at 30%. Seems to be running the cpu at a relative low range or is it just me?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
30% for os manager is too much but may be you need to wait some time to stabilize it. But any way 30+24=54. It mean that most time both applications work on same CPU and use it at 100%. Without Bluetooth tethering your system usage should be < 1%
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
This is after running for 45 min. phone still doesn't feel warm. I know when I tethered with my incredible it got up to 121° f and would reboot very often. does this picture help you any?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
What type of tethering you use on incredible? Wifi?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
yes, but i was using battery manager to check the temps not the built in one in wifi tether.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
WiFi tethering use lot of power because WiFi AP mode required it. Bluetooth use a little power but CPU usage is too high because DNSMASQ has a bug. Try to replace dnsmasq to fixed version and you will see the difference.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mufriginhand:
Hey guys. I think I might need some help with this one.

I was running MIUI 1.9.16 with the stock kernel and started having an issue last night with my phone being unable to send texts. I decided this morning to try to go back to stock and reflash MIUI. I was following the steps in the "***READ THIS!!!!!!*** Going from CM7/MIUI/OMFGB to another rom/Unbricking your device" thread. When I try to flash ED05 Odin freezes on param.lfs. I am using the wall charger that came with my phone and I'm also Odining without the battey in. Is there anyway to flash a new param.lfs? Or am I just screwed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
You could try a different version of Odin..either 1.3,1.7, or 1.83..or try using eb01, or dl09, it shouldn't matter eclair, froyo or gb, whichever will work for you since you're going to flash miui again anyway. Just don't forget the pit file and check repartition if it isn't already
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mufriginhand:
I downloaded Odin 1.83 and EB01 and I'm still getting the same problem. I'm using the Atlas v2.2.pit and I checked repartition in Odin.

I found a file called "Stock-i500-VZW-pit.pit" should I try that one instead of the Atlas .pit file?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Is Odin saying pass? Did you try with 1.3, or 1.7 yet?

Also what version of windows are you using?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mufriginhand:
I have tried 1.3, and 1.83. I haven't tried 1.7 yet but I will right now.

I'm also running Windows 7 32bit. My biggest fear is that I accidentally flash the recovery using Phone instead of PDA in Odin. I'm not positive that I did that, I've used Odin before and know not to use Phone. If that is what happened is there anyway to recover it? Or do I have a new paperweight?

[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
Hi

My daughters GT540 won't boot.

At the moment it's on 1.6, should I try to flash 1.6 back to it, take it to 2.1..

Or return it to Carphone Warehouse ( it's still got a bit a warranty left )

Is it worth trying the LG updater tool first ??

Just having a look at the phone.

It starts up, goes through the LG animation, comes to the Android animation and stops..... Nothing happens.

Would appear she was installing an ADW theme when it shutdown.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
You may be able to fix it with a hard reset, but you should upgrade it to 2.1 anyways. If you want to, I have included steps below.

Download the Carphone Warehouse V20C (2.1) ROM from LG.

Download KDZ Updater from here.

Extract KDZ Updater to the desktop and put the V20C_00.kdz file on the desktop too. (Make sure to install MSXML first, it's the msxml.msi file included in the KDZ Updater zip)

Make sure the phone is off and the USB cable is unplugged. Hold down the Volume Down button and plug in the USB cable (make sure to keep holding VOL DOWN) and the phone should display 'Download Mode'

Change the type of flash by selecting the 'Type' dropdown box and select 3GQCT, and make sure PhoneMode is set to DIAG.

Click the icon and select the V20C_00.kdz file you downloaded erlier.

Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete. Your phone should reboot automatically.

Hope it helps,

BTW if it gets stuck at the bootscreen again after the update, then hard reset and it should be fine.
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
How do I hard reset it !!

Currently it won't boot up, just sticks at the andriod logo, black screen, then android logo etc... it looks like it's doing a very slow android animation.

So how do I hard reset that ?

also how would hard reset it after applying the flash, if it fails to boot the first time ??

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
hard reset:

volume up + home key + search button

i think direct after booting

....

or install clockwork recovery with a custom rom . you can hard reset there too
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
I hyperlinked the 'hard reset' part with a guide to do it, you have to push VOL UP + HOME + SEARCH when the first LG Logo comes up. So if the update caused you to get stuck at the Android bootlogo, then you can hard reset at the first LG logo (when you first turn on the device)

Sorry for any confusion caused.
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
Thanks for the clarification.

A hard reset did nothing.. didn't seem to acknowledge it.

I've held the vol key down, plugged the usb in and got download mode on screen.

Windows tried to install drivers, but could find them and KDZ failed to find the phone !

I've got the LG Support tool installed any thing else I need to get this working ?

Thanks :)
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
You need to install the drivers using the LG Support tool, then try using KDZ again.
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
Thanks. Got the USB install and working..

KDZ errored, here's the log .. any ideas ?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Oh Dear.. Things have gotten worse :(

I re ran KDZ and it seems to have done something this time.

It completed, quite quickly, and the phone appeared to reboot.

NOTHING... Black screen, no logo's, animations NOTHING...

KDZ Log :

When I try to power it on I get the quick vibration and nothing, no screen etc.

If I plug in the USB holding VOL Down, I download mode, but this time it has dotted lines above and below the words. ( I don't remember seeing them last time)

How do I fix this or is it dead ? Will I be able to claim on the warranty ?

My daughter is a sleep at the moment, would be nice to have this sorted for her

Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

It appears the phone does power on, but I get no initial display.. after about 30seconds I get a boot up sound and but nothing on screen.

If I wait a while and then press the power button I get the unlock screen and her unlock pattern is still set.

Once unlocked I get lots of force.close errors. All her apps etc are still there. Yet the phone has upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1

Should all her apps etc still be there ?

I thought the upgrade would have wiped everything.

How do I get this back working properly, with LG boot logo and anim etc ! ?

And without the force.close errors ?

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
I've preformed a hard reset and now when I power the phone on I get the following:

Black Screen.

After a while I get the boot sound

Then the phone appears to have gone off.

But if I leave it for a couple of minutes and then press the power button it looks fine. I swipe to unlock and it's on 2.1 defaulted. ( I've not tested her sim card as yet )

So it does appear to be booting, but with out any of the LG / Android logo's or animations.

How do I get this working fully for her ?

Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
Black screen at start is the problem if you upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 + fastboot .

Do you know if the 2.1 is with fastboot? If not shut it down and charge. If android boots you have the fastboot version.
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
It seems you have hit the 'boot bug' that many people get, it is a simple fix, but requires more KDZ Flashing.

Follow these steps that fishears posted, they should help!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10238074&postcount=41

Also to stop the force closes, try to reach the settings>privacy>factory settings menu, try to factory reset using that.

Hope it helps mate :)
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
Thanks :)

The French version is used for the UK Phone ??

What's the fastboot mentioned in the other post ?

Thanks for your help :D
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
Yeah, the france one won't affect the phones compatibility with UK networks or SIM lock the phone again (if it's unlocked)

Also, fastboot is an interface for communicating with the phone bootloader and partitions. It is used to flash recovery and custom ROMs, just ignore that though, if you are staying on 2.1 lol
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
Thanks.

I'll try this tonight and let you know how I get on.

I can guess the 1st thing my daughter will ask me, when I get home :rolleyes:

Hopefully this will sort it !

Cheers :)
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:
Thanks for all your help :D

That was very easy flashing those 2 files.. the phone is now working fine.

One very happy daughter..:p

Quick question... my son has the same phone on 1.6.

Do I just flash the last 2 files, V20A_00.kdz & out.kdz in cs_emergency mode.

or do I start with V20C_00.kdz and see what happens ?

Thanks again, your help is very much appreciated :)
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
Try using the V20C, but if the boot logos go away, try repeat the above steps,

and no problems :)
[GT540 Optimus General] albert_htc:

I run Oxygen 2.2.2 on my HTC Desire. I've also tried CM7.

Might have a look at the options on the GT540.. But not yet !!

[GT540 Optimus General] darkfield:
hi

flash a rom (.kdz). then connect your phone via fastboot to the pc

now cmd:

fastboot.exe -w

then flash a boot and a system image via cmd:

fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

fastboot.exe flash system system.img
[GT540 Optimus General] Danzano:
this happened to my mates phone only worse i stripped it down to the board and left it for a day in pieces then tried and got it back but with boot bug although the inside was much cleaner did not like the tearing down bit

best advise now you have it back is follow fish ears instructions to the letter check and re check

after this flash RC4 with adw ex your daughter will be very happy :)

[Sony Tablet S] sixthday:
I bought the Sony Tablet S Cradle along with the tablet, planningto use it as a photo frame as Sony Advertised.

It turns out, the Cradle itself works as expected. However, the software part is not so great. When you put in the Tablet onto the cradle, you have three apps to choose to start (you can set one of them to be default): a clock, the picture gallary, or the chumby social feed.

All looks good until you touch the screen. It will go back to the lock screen or the home screen and will not come back automatically. You have to either reinsert the tablet or start the app yourself. On the contract, If you want to use it and pick it up from cradle, it will not go to lock screen automatically, you have to touch it again.

Overall not so user friendly.

The cradle does have two view angles. Adjusted but push the support up and down. The 30% angle is perferct for me to use as photo frame or tap. It feels solid and has the weight to support the tablet. The only complaint about the hardware is the power slot, just too narrow for an adult's finger when you try to push the power plug into it.
[Sony Tablet S] jkr284:
Me Want! The pictures aren't showing up for me. Where are you from? I need the accessories (UK) but haven't seen them anywhere yet. Have you tried pressing the home button to get back to the clock etc? The Xperia Play is the same and when you press the home button it goes back to the clock screen.

[Sony Tablet S] Tergazzi:
Am I reading this wrong? So when its in its cradle you can only run 1 of 3 applications? (Clock, Gallery, or Chumby) You cant watch a movie, or listen to music?
[Sony Tablet S] jonnyboy_merritt:
No, you can run what you like but you can get the tablet s to run any one of those 3 apps by default. i.e. to automatically run as a photo frame when you dock.
[Sony Tablet S] Tergazzi:
Ahhh.... lol, ok pheww... i was like wth? man that woud have been so retarded to only be able to use 3 apps when docked! I was about to take my tablet back to the store!... lol
[Sony Tablet S] 4dthinker:
I received my cradle today. Looks like the best place to keep it is my bedside table. It's Desk Clock app is far smarter than my alarm clock. You can set unique alarm times for different days of the week, and tap the upper right corner icon to greatly dim the screen yet leave the time still visible in a dark room.

The Chumby app cycles through several different sub-apps including many clock faces, weather, stocks, Facebook, a photo site, and several Japanese language sites. Shouldn't be a bad distraction if you park the tablet in the cradle on your desk at work.

For $39 it is not a bad value compared to what other cradles/docks sell for. Absolutely no outputs from the cradle though. Simply charges when tablet is in place. It recharged mine even with the Chumby app, screen, and WiFi on all the time. This may be why they used the beefy AC adapter they chose.
