[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sianzb0i:
sorry for digging up this old thread but im having the same issue after flashing so many ROMs. It never happened to me.

Just to confirm, is there really no "battery" or some power source (like the BIOS battery) for phone to "remember" the time and date? Instead it uses a capacitor? just wanna know in case customer service bull**** me. But i dont think a battery (even those coin-sized) would fit in the sgs2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephestione:
Since I've long since sold my SGS2 and now am using a SGN, which does remember the time after a battery swap, I can tell you definitely it's a hardware problem.

Alas, support WILL bs you if they can, but I suppose if you know they are doing that, you can make a strong voice and have them issue a repair/switch service for you, by telling them up front you know you're right and wll be speaking with a superior/write anout it on your blog.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowbutt:
I agree that they were BS'ing you. Otherwise, why would there be component BAT500 which other users have reported Samsung service centres have told them has leaked and destroyed their WiFi chip? http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28036#c471
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty_7564:
BAT500 is an EDL Capacitor which stores charge while the battery is in then slowly dischargers when the battery is removed. My phone started loosing the clock immediately when the battery is removed but its stopped now. I believe its could be one of two things but I can't be 100% sure. I had my phone on charge every night for that last couple of weeks and I noticed the issue. Over the last two days I have let the phone run flat and charged it again and now it remembers the time when I remove the battery for at least a minute. The other theory is that I also had wifi always on for the last couple of weeks and that also has been off for two days now. The wifi chip is right next to the capacitor and if the chip was to get warm it could cause the capacitor to malfunction.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sianzb0i:
thanks for all the valuable inputs. i will go to SSC next week. Have been putting it off cos tmr i am going overseas and i nid my S2 with me.

Hopefully they are willing to change.

EDIT: and i realised it happened to those who root and flash ROMs often

Hi

If anyone can find the cause, make me inform pls.

I don't think it is a hardware issue.

Try turning on automatic time in settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aussiev:
Got the same problem here! It happens when i run out of battery, when pull out the battery or even when i close the phone.

Automatic time in settings is turned on but that doesnt help. So what i do everytime is turn on wifi or mobile data and it correct everything!!

p.s my phone is also rooted with custom rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctg60000:
i dont think thats a hardware fault... it is supposed to be like that... the inbuilt clock takes negligible power from the battery & whenever u pull out battery, the clock resets to default value... however, when u put back battery & power on the phone, it is supposed to automatically update the time. this happens when u hav a simcard inserted (a working one ;P), and keeping 'Automatic update of date & time' ON, which u will find in >>Settings>>Date & Time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqualunguer:
Bump, got the same problem. Any kind of software fix so the system gets the clock faster from the carrier?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehumble1:
Sorry to be pushing my nose in where it doesn't belong, but I was given a SGSII (T-989) and it sure looks to have a CMOS or RAM battery (a capacitor I guess). It also appears that the leaking battery isn't limited to the 9100. This is the BAT500 I guess but it definitely is there to provide out of battery power, which you'd expect to include the clock.

Also, here is a nice post about the battery/capacitor going bad on the I9100. I'd expect that not having your clock hold after a battery pull would be enough reason to believe your BAT500 has leaked and will soon wreck your WiFi or other components. Check on the warranty or recall.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteLightning:
My S2 also loses time and date when I remove the battery. Had mine for almost 2 years now and it didn't do it when it was new. What I've just tried is turn off wifi (which is permanently on) for a minute then power off phone and take battery out. This time the phone has kept the time and date. I was quite surprised.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobilelearner:
You have selected automatic time zone. Mobile use NTP Network Time Protocol. So When you connect to network. It will get local time zone.

You can use synchronize app for time zone. Then your mobile set time as per local time zone.

AT&T Gingerbread 2.3.x CWM Flashable modem zips

I have noticed multiple threads claiming better GPS results using different AT&T Gingerbread 2.3.4 modems but have not seen a central post where each one of these modems can be downloaded.

For your download consideration, CWM zips for KE3, KF1 and KH3 modems.

These modems can be used with AT&T Gingerbread 2.3.4 leaked roms that enable the use of the awesome audience chip our Captivates possess. They should be flashed in ClockworkMod Recovery.

I now have the new KI1 leaked 2.3.5 modem!!

Hi,

I'm desperately searching for a tun.ko version for Kernel version 2.6.35.10-ge52b0af. Does anybody know where to find it? I tried all other builds but without success :-(

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pow0226:
Because of New market which force[automatically] updated by google~~

my experia cannot download any app more -_-..;;;;

with some message.

I had down graded market but it works with 1~2 download;;;;

and again update!

..

Is there any solution?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] frybend:
I didn't find out how to avoid updating market yet, but this error appears only in Hendroid from builds which I have tested. As Needo said later, it is caused by wrong gapps. In Neofroyo market works fine after update.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] maikonzinho:
yeah

i have this problem too, i'm using the newest rom Sensedroid V2 and i cant download with market, the app is incompatible!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
i would try a different gapps. I don't like the new market it doesn't look as nice and I find I have to press more buttons to download and search.

I like the look of the old one.

sorry

also guys MAKE SURE YOU LOAD INTO ANDROID before installing gapps...

open all applications and then reboot into CWM and then install gapps!

Hey guys,

Stupidly ran an OTA update (wasn't really thinking what I was doing since my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted) and now my Xplay won't even switch on! It doesn't register that it is plugged into a PC or a charger. The only sign of life I can get from it is a small vibration when I press the power button. Any suggestions of how to fix it? There must be a way! :confused:

Thanks,

Axxion

Wich play model do you have?

Can you get into flash mode (green light) or/and fastboot mode (blue light)?

Bin4ry has posted a thread on how to fix a bricked play from OTA. It's called somthing like (fota)fix bricked phone, look for it in the dev section. I'm not sure if it's for all models but it works for R800i.

Some owners of R800x has just flashed it with flashtool and restored their phone. Look for threads on this in general or Q&A section.

Hi guys,

After S-off and using custom roms I installed a stock RUU as my phone started going all weird.

When reverting back to a custom rom recently, I tried to flash the recommended radio but got denied. Hboot still says I'm S-off but I can't flash radios through Hboot or through adb push.

Would flashing the RUU have turned radio S-on? If so, is there any way to fix this?

I searched the forums and couldn't find anything similar to my situation

Some pics would be realy realy nice, so everybody could see how it fits and if they could get used to it.

EDIT: Also you can add the SGP Neo Hybrid and SGP Neo Hybrid EX to the list. First one has a loose are around the camera (as seen in another thread) and the other one fits nicely.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LBTaylor1984:
I would put some pictures up but I don't own all of them, and a few I've checked out in Retail stores, however If I buy any that fit, i'll make sure I post up photos of the fit.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Deleted member 4269213:
Then just put the pictures in you own. Some others who have the extended battery and a case could send you their pictures and you could implement them into your post.

When I get my S2, 2000 mAh battery and decided for a case i will do some pictures for you, too.

PS: You could link every name of the cases to their official pages, too.

Yes, as most soft cases the Graphix fits, but you'll see some looseness in the camera section. Also, I did not like the grip of this case at all, it felt slippery imo.

I went for the Neon hybrid instead, very satisfied.

what is the sense of using a bumper of a sgp neo hybrid ?

i mean, isnt the purpose of a case to cover the whole phone? both the examples above mentioned appear to just cover the borders of the phone, leaving uncovered the whole back of it.

actually sgp neo hybrid series sounds just like a overpriced bumper.

anyone, can prove the opposite?

actually i am very interested in this because it looks like there is no real hard non/bumper case fitting with the new battery: and the only (crappy) solutions appear to be either bumpers or gum/rubber cases ...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LBTaylor1984:
IT fits but the rubber part is under a small amount of pressure, pushing the phone out of the hard plastic casing. it is MINIMAL, if your like me and fiddle with your phone all the time, it is just a case of pushing it with the lightest touch back in.

It won't damage the phone unless your trying the impossible (pushing the phone into the bottom cutout.) and pushing so hard you crack the hard plastic shell in otherwords impossible. the ideal would be to cut the rubber out in the shape of the battery lid compartment. on the rubber part, then assembling with the hard casing. so you remove the tension off the added thickness.

However, is the chassis the same - and hence will a case for the Skyrocket fit the i9100?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] MistahBungle:
Just bought a 2000mAh genuine extended battery. Can confirm that the Mercury AV leather flip case fits perfectly without the battery cover, and the phone *just* fits into this case with the battery cover on.

This case has a plastic "cradle" built into the back of the case (fake leather front/back) that the phone normally fits quite tightly/securely in with a regular 1650mAh battery. With the 2000mAh battery & the battery cover on, if you push the phone hard enough it pops out of the cradle, but it fits/stays in place securely enough for everyday use. I reckon the phone would probably pop out of the case if you dropped it, so make sure you have a screen protector if you do buy this case & leave the battery cover on.

Here's a link to the manufacturers website with description/pics of the case. They're available from most of the telcos shops in Australia and some mobile accessory retailers as well. ;)
