[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micrographics:
Samsung released different SGS2 Models in different Countries. Can some help me in finding how to find out Model No.

Samsung is saying that for India Model # is i9100G whereas I can't find anything similar to it on my Galaxy s2 anywhere.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Menu / settings / about phone / ....... Model number
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micrographics:
I know these sateps but when I contactec Samsung they said the Model # has to be i9100G whereas in my mobile it is just showing i9100 cso, the question is where to find that particular letter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antt00:
In my country it is i9100. But recently in the past week, i9100g have been released and seems to be replacing i9100. The difference is i9100g uses a different processor TI OMAP 4430. Could be only new units will have the "g" while older ones are still i9100 with Exynos

So starting with a functioning CM7 and CWMR v2ish...

I started this whole adventure trying to flash a new recovery via adb and got a "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x001c0000 (ret 1 errno 2)" error and have ever since been unable to boot into recovery.

I'd like to wipe everything and start from scratch but I'm having some problems: cannot flash really anything without errors and cannot get into recovery. Installing recovery through rom manager pulls errors. Cannot flash HERCIMG.zip without error. and I'm stuck with s-on. but no recovery leaves me at a loss for getting s-off... the phone boots fine normally and into bootloader and is visible to adb.

any help would be great!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Hi

Have u tried the old school ruu from HTC via USB plug in?

Its the slowest but most reliable.

Have u tried a different recovery?

Not a new cmr but an older one....

Or

Try RA recovery which is available thru ROM manager.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastin1015:
Download any recovery image on here and extract the recovery.img file and place it on the root of your SD card then issue these commands in terminal emulator:

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
+1. Make sure that you're recovery image is named recovery image, or make sure you use the right name of that image. Some might have numbers as well. It won't work it's not right. That could be what happened the 1st time. I know from experience. Go s-off next so you can use a HERCIMG.

You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
I have a Zip file that can be Flashed from RomManager to give you S-Off!

PM me your Email, and I'll Send it to you!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kozmo403:
I found a signed (I THINK....not 100% sure how to tell as I'm S-OFF at this point) HERCIMG.zip that's from a stock RUU. PM me if you want it. I'm 99.8% positive I used it to flash back to stock as a normal RUU won't work for some strange reason when I was still S-ON.

I forced the OEM/carrier customized mango release over 6 hours ago and have either been playing around with all of its awesomeness or playing ilomilo since. 6 hours of nearly nonstop use and I still sit at 67 percent. I don't even understand how that's possible considering on this particular phone I was at 10-15 percent after 6 hours of moderate use whenever I first got it but someone is working some magic. I'm simply amazed and am realizing more and more that it's not the size of the hardware that counts, it's how they utilize it.
[General Topics] scyld:
That's pretty incredible.

So at the rate you're using your battery's power, one charge would last you 18 hours. And it sounds like you're doing fairly processor and graphics-intense things.

So what is the difference, the OS just, like, uses the processor a lot less? How else could it possibly extend battery life?
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Given the graphic intensive nature of the game Id assume it utilizes the processor quite a bit, especially now that there's no hiccups in the game like there was in nodo. I think it's just proper utilization of the gpu and properly coded drivers. Regardless though, I'm simply astounded at this. I've added 2 hours of plants vs zombies to this and still I'm at 44 percent battery life. When i first got this thing I played need for speed for 2 hours and was hunting for a charger. This has been simply amazing.
[General Topics] yahoowizard:
I guess Microsoft got something right...

I'm now the proud owner of 9 windows phone 7 devices and after the mango update they got EVERYTHING right. i just don't see how they could make it better than it is right now.
[Droid X General] plasticknives:
My GPS hasn't been working for a while now, and I always assumed it was a 1software issue. I've tried SBFing to .340, .602, CM7, and am currently on MIUI.. all with no luck. Long story short, it was a hardware issue.

I noticed while holding the phone in a certain way with the battery cover off, I would get a fix on all satellites almost instantly (using GPS Status). After some testing, I found that putting pressure on the piece of plastic between the battery pull tab and SD card was the solution.

With a little MacGyver ingenuity (folded a movie stub in half, placed on that spot, and put the cover back on), I now have perfect GPS reception, indoors and out.

I'm not sure if this is the issue for everyone with a Droid X and GPS problems, but it should at the very least help some.

Please take the poll and spread the word if this is a solution for you. I know I'm not the only one who has thought about tossing my phone out the window over this issue.
[Droid X General] _deshvin:
It works!

Wow. Just wow.

I have been having GPS problems on my Droid X for months now. I had tried almost everything: Formatting SD card, downloading AGPS data, wiping cache, factory reset, different ROMs, etc.

NOTHING WORKED

I was about to give up, but today I had some free time before work so I thought I would give it another, final, shot. I Googled the problem for the umpteenth time and found your post. "Interesting," I thought to myself, "I've never thought of trying that."

So I popped off my batter cover and with the GPS test app running applied a small amount of pressure on the little plastic peg located below the pull tab.

INSTANTLY GPS test picked up seven different satellites! I jumped out of my chair I was so excited! I instantly decided to create an XDA account (I've been a lurker for about a year now) just so that I could thank you! I loved using my GPS so much because I am horrible when driving in places that I'm not familiar with, it was such a downer to not be able to use it, I felt like my phone was only at 75% without it.

But you changed all of that!

I love you!

I want to hug you!

+1000 Internets/cookies/kudos to you, good sir!

May you have the best Karma for the rest of your life!

Sincerely,

An extremely happy, GPS renewed, Droid X user
[Droid X General] mobile_sensei:
interesting. I usually find that GPS problems are rom related 9 out of 10 times.
[Droid X General] dakota11:
I like my GPS too I've always known my network and GPS issues to be rom related. I'll have to see how that works next time. Thanks for sharing your discovery.
[Droid X General] papajani:
I didn't believe it at first... but he's right!

I had my doubts when I read about the "pressure fix" to my DX GPS problem. I did a lot of testing and it works. I was able to get 8-9 satellite fixes in 4-8 seconds. As soon as I let off on the pressure all satellites were lost usually right away but sometimes I had the fix for 15-20 seconds. When I put the battery cover on I also lost satellites right away. I found I could also apply pressure through the battery cover and get a fix within 10 seconds.

I called VZW tech support and after I convinced the first tier script reader that I indeed had a problem that they couldn't fix I went to tier two. He asked a few questions and I told him my woes (but not the pressure fix) and he immediately sent out a replacement phone. The replacement works great... fixes in seconds even inside a steel hulled ferry boat!
[Droid X General] Nurdz:
Something else you can try is updating your roaming capabilities. dial *228 and press 2. Seemed to help a lot with me. Getting several satellites within 5-10 seconds, vs. 20 minutes before lol
[Droid X General] rocko73:
If you are having the gps issue on all roms and pressure makes it work, it's more than likely a cold solder joint an I would get the phone replaced under warranty.
[Droid X General] auroraborealis1982:
bizarre

I just wanted to say I have this same problem on the same phone. I noticed if I touch the back of my phone in a certain area, the GPS lights up and everything works great. If I take my finger off it, the GPS loses me. It is just bizarre... I am calling them tomorrow for a replacement phone but I wanted to say thanks for posting this because I thought I was going nuts!

edit: I cut off a strip of a thin cardboard price tag from a pair of jeans I bought a few weeks ago and inserted it into the back of the phone like the OP stated, closed the battery case, and now I have eleven satellites. If I take out the piece of cardboard they all go away. I had been looking for a solution for weeks and now, finally, joy!
[Droid X General] fifiknw:
Yeah I knew that issue for awhile. Atleast 7 or 8 months. It will help with wifi issues too. I remember at one point my friend was going threw droid x's like there nothing. There has to be something loose up there. I wanted to open it up and try to find a real fix but just never cared. I figured if i lose wifi or need gps i know the quick fix.
[Droid X General] weekscorp:
Thank you!!!

I started having gps issues right around the time I started rooting and roming so I assumed it was the roms. I tried flashing the fixes but nothing worked. I even temporarily went back to stock but it didn't fix the gps problem. I found this today and immediately fixed the problem. I used my gps the whole day and haven't had a problem. If something changes I will be sure to come back and let all of you know.

You know... it might be caused by doing multiple battery pulls which is something you tend to do a lot when first learning to rom your phone.
[Droid X General] ogradyjd:
Me too

My wife and I both have DroidX original flavour, and both have had the GPS stop working after about a year. To call it annoying would be an understatement. Both phones are unrooted, have the latest update on them (4.5.621.MB810).

Our symptoms were they same - you start up GPS and start Navigator or Google Maps, and for the first two minutes, everything was fine. And then the GPS looses the signal and there is nothing you can do to bring it back.

I had read on another board that Weatherbug caused a lot of problems with the GPS, and after uninstalling that (and installing Weather.com's app), the GPS actually did start working better, but it would still loose the signal permanently most of the time.

I actually went through uninstalling everything else on my phone trying to figure out which of the 100 apps I have installed that had messed up the GPS, and still had no signal. And then I read this post.

I'm going to add another variable to this fix, and that would be heat. Taking off the batter cover works for me, but I have also noticed that on hot, sunny days, when the phone is in the car dock, there is almost nothing I can do to get the GPS to work. But at night, when the phone is cool, even without taking the cover off and applying pressure to the knob next to the pull tab, the GPS seems to work almost flawlessly.

I'm going to call Verizon tomorrow to see if I can get replacements for both my wife's and mine phone. I don't know if they will, considering my wife's phone is almost two years old, but we can't wait until July when her replacement discount becomes available for her to have a usable GPS. Considering this seems to be a design flaw in the original DroidX given the sheer number of postings all of the internet describing the exact same problem, I'm thinking they had better replace them for free.

Thank you for this post!! You've solved a problem that has been bugging us for months, and now that I know its an endemic problem, you probably saved us a LOT of money!
[Droid X General] enice816:
I know this is an old post, but I am looking for any suggestions to get my GPS working again. I have tried with the cover pulled and applying pressure to the plastic piece and have had no luck, I get no satellites. I have updated roaming capabilities, I have changes ROMS, still to no avail. I have used GPS Status to reset and download A-GPS state and it will not work. The GPS never finds any satellites indoors or out. I have tried flashing a baseband radio and had no luck doing that either.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
So tell me guys and girls what has been your all time favorite rom? And why is that so? I always loved freex10 running froyo been on that rom for like 3 months nonstop and i also tried the 2.3 version currently running miui :) and loving it ;o

Ps: dont.know if its wrong section please move if yes thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] fcb1:
i really like the T.E.A.M. thats fully transperant. Its really smooth and i love appman. And it doesnt come with all the bloatware. i came from wolfbreaks rom but its getting laggy and many problems have been coming up for. I also tried zmod but i just wish it had the stock se camera and the arcs photo widget. But overall my favorite has been T.E.A.M.s rom :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
This is all my phone keeps doing... I have no idea how to fix this...

Anyone?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
that means your boot looping...odin back to stock and start over.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
That's a boot loop!

some info will help us help you..

i'm assuming your phone didn't just do this out of the blue? Did you just try to flash a new nightly or a different kernel?

Edit damn you Droidstyle!! your always 2 mins before me!!! And I thought I had a slight forum addiction problem..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
I just did go back to stock and try it again...

Same damn problem...

This all started when I tried to go to a low(er) leakage Glitch kernel and I have had NO luck getting my phone back to normal...

Now, I'm boot looping...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Try going back to a older stock package such as dl09 and repartition. I have read where a few had trouble with stock ed05 to cm7. I know I did when flashing vgb...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
And tell me what repartition means?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
It means when you odin a stock rom.tar file in pda, you should have an atlas 2.2 pit file in the pit function with repartition checked.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
MTD roms repartition the phone to, well, the MTD partition map. in order to go back to stock, you must repartition your phone back to BML partition map, which Samsung uses. if you don't you're more than likely going to run into problems
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
I did all this just now.. DL09 and atlas and now I get..

MANUAL MODE

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

WTF now????
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubbadogg14:
This happened to me going from the first release of espresso to the second. I Odined DI01 and repartioned and used atlas.pit file and all went well when I reflashed espresso build 18 (after odining recovery for cm7 and ec09 radio of course).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
So you Odined DI01, repartitioned (Atlas), then odined recovery for cm7 and then odined ec09 radio???
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
are you letting the phone boot up once after odining the stock package w/ pit? If not that is more than likely your problem,

-odin d101 or whatever stock package w/ atlas pit file

-let phone boot up once then power off...get back to DL mode

-odin ec09 modem

-odin recovery for cm7

-boot into recovery

-then proceed as you normally would with installing cm7

Try heimdall
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spades Slick:
Hi all,

I used Heimdall this morning to try and put the CyanogenMod ROM on my Fascinate. I think I must have tried flashing with insufficient files, because the next thing I know my phone is back to factory with everything gone D: I tried to use Heimdall again, this time explicitly with the files from the ED05 FROYO tar going around. Using both the default recovery and the ClockworkMod recovery, I can get to the screen that asks you to wipe/load update.zip and all, but when I try to wipe I get access errors and the inability to mount various directories. The end result is that the phone tells me it has no internal storage space available, I cannot install apps, and I keep getting errors in twlauncher.

If anyone can help or point me in the direction I need to go to remedy this, I would be most appreciative. I can walk you through the steps I've taken since flashing with the ED05 kernel and all, but I cannot find where exactly I messed up in the first place. Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ostthug2k:
Im thinking about getting a GSM HTC Flyer from ebay. I was wondering if nyone knew with what carrier will i get 3G data speeds. some people say with Tmobile.

Also will sms and MMS work?:confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Looking up Flyer specs on various places, it does list that its compatible with the AWS or 1700/2100 band for 3G. The HTC website doesn't seem to be working right now (at least for me), if I click "Specs" nothing happens. If the Flyer does in fact have compatibility with the 1700/2100 band, it should work on T-Mobile. The tablet would have to be unlocked, and you may need to manually enter the T-Mobile APN settings.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ILRider:
I just picked up a UK 32GB 3G Flyer off eBay myself for my collection, couldn't pass up the price. Network specs off the box:

HSPA/WCDMA (900/AWS/2100MHz)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz)

I tested it for a short time using borrowed SIM cards and worked with TMobile and AT&T out the box. Didn't get a chance to do any other tests but I will soon, I just rooted it and flashed a new ROM that enables voice and text.

Check out the HTC site under tablets you will see a TMobile 3G Flyer 16GB being offered right now in the US for a promo price of $299.99 w/new service plan ($599.99 regularly) and $35 activation fee. Plans are kinda pricey IMO. I think you're better off buying from ebay or expansys and you'll get the 32GB version not 16GB. I also read somewhere that these are only available to business customers but didn't see anything on the HTC site and I went through the order process up until I have to enter payment information. Oh yeah, no Flyer on TMobile's website.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ostthug2k:
Sounds Good, what rom did you flash to enable talk and text? thnx. oh and did you get 3G with those sims?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ILRider:
FlyHigh ROM v1.2 with patch for voice and text... I still need to test again to make sure both are working. I didn't do a speedtest to verify connection speeds when I first tested with TMobile and ATT but I will post some screen shots as soon as I can.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ostthug2k:
Thanks, ill be buying one of these puppies tomorrow. $589.99 here in NY. The store ad says its compatible with Tmobile 3G.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Did it work on 3G on AT&T? According to the specs, it shouldn't. It would need to be compatible with HSPA 850/1900.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ILRider:
Edge on ATT but I did get 3G while on the TMobile SIM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
That's what I would surmise from the specs. Good to see theory and reality agree in this case! Thanks for clarifying!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ostthug2k:
I just got mine yesterday. Its a shame that the US EVO View Tablet doesn't come with all these accessories. Leather HTC Case, White Scribe Pen, and more.

Anyways, its working great on Simple Mobile's $60 Plan. Talk, Text, MMS, and of course 3G!
[Thunderbolt General] cubarican84:
Ok. Ive been having a weird wallpaper issue. Every time I reboot my phone it defaults to some weird wallpaper. Ive wiped data, system, cache, davlik. The problem started on Th3ory Nons3ns3 Rom. But i suspect its an app I installed because im running Bamf Forever now(best rom to date) and im still getting this wallpaper change on every reboot. Thanks beforehand for the help
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Post the wallpaper.

Or a screencap.

Bamf has a built in utility.
[Thunderbolt General] cubarican84:
Sure. Here you go good sir.
[Thunderbolt General] cubarican84:
The weird thing is that the first couple times i noticed the change of wallpaper it wasn't this pic. But the last 3 days or so, it changes to this pic every time. Next im thinking to delete all wallpaper apps. After that I figure i should reformat SD card?
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Sounds like the best course of action at this point.
[Thunderbolt General] FP5241:
Good news:

I know where that picture came from:

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110926.html

Bad news:

I do not know why it would default to that image unless you downloaded it and have it in a wallpaper app folder.
[Thunderbolt General] Jiggity Janx:
My wallpaper was acting screwy because I use adw but the defualt sense launcher would overwrite because it connects to the Personalize changes option you make in sense (for the lockscreen and background). If you are using a different launcher the sense launcher defaults could be screwing with it. You have to clear the new launcher as default, go back to Personalize for the sense launcher and fix the defaults for lockscreen, background, etc.
[Sony Tablet S] Vancelot:
Has anyone tried this? It would be cool if you could turn off the on-screen controls.

Edit:

I wonder if you can plug in a USB keyboard. Haven't seen anyone try that yet. I need to get an adapter an try it out.
[Sony Tablet S] twistedcloud:
I do know that you can buy a Bluetooth keyboard to use with the tablet that you might be able to map buttons to and use.

Also I do believe there is an App floating around that will allow you to Bluetooth the PS3 controller (or the Wii Remote) to your device to use with games.
[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
I think honeycomb supports most usb controllers including ps3 and 360, I cant try it until I get an adapter though. Like is said above there are apps that let u use dualshock 3 via bluetooth, but I think they require root access.
[Sony Tablet S] pdagal:
Yes, you can use USB keyboard and mice. The Dual Shock 3 controller doesn't work (ironic, yes?). There is an app to use the DS3 and it requires root.

- Lisa (the one who did the video referenced above).
[Sony Tablet S] pauLegend:
The ps3 controller is closed in as when you connect it with a pc... btw you can remove the on screen controls in the options...

Also... Lisa, I truly enjoy your very indepth reviews and previews of products...it is always your reviews that manage to go deeper than any review site I visit (eg. The usb port on the S) Glad to see u really are in depth if your on this site! I bought my hp TM2 because of you! Same with this really great tablet! Thanks!
