[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
Not really. If the phone is working sweetly for you, then there is no need. On the other hand there has been improvements, so why not take the benefit of them. The most important factors are battery life, stability (doesn't crash) and how quickly the phone operates (ie you are not waiting ages for the phone to switch on the GPS)

You don't need to root to a ROM upgrade. Rooting is to give you access to the full system and some programs require root access to work.

If you are just doing a straight official upgrade, then you can do that through KIES. If your phone is branded to (example) Vodafone, then you can only get the Vodafone upgrade. The branded upgrades can take a few months to come out after the stock Samsung ones do. The stock Samsung ROMs can take there time to come out, as they have to modify and test the next version of Android. The quickest release is the leaked versions from Samsung.

Odin is useful as it goes along way in protecting your phone from bricking. It is not idiot proof - flashing a ROM for another phone (ie SGSI), power outage during the flash, unplugging the usb cable during the flashing.

With Odin you are able to flash the stock ROM to a branded phone, thus Samsung will think you have a stock phone and will in future will supply you with stock ROM upgrades via KIES. WARNING: If you have to reutrn the phone for warranty, then you must flash the branded ROM (available on here).

With Odin you are able to flash a leaked or customised ROM to a branded phone, but Samsung will not recognise the phone's ROM and cannot in future supply you with stock ROM upgrades via KIES. WARNING: If you have to reutrn the phone for warranty, then you must flash the branded ROM (available on here).

Duelly disregarded

I have noticed an improvement in battery life going from a branded KE3 to a stock KF3 and to the leaked KI3 (2.3.5).

As for customising, you can think of having a car - just use it to do a job of getting from A to B or getting it tunned for better acceloration and more fuel ecconomy. Upgrade the sound system so you can reaaly enjoy the music it can play. Give it a fancy paintjob so that it looks good and stands out from the crowd. Basically that is what the Chefs and tweakers do (and do so well).
[Galaxy S II General] rasinell:
Hey. just an update. sorted the problem :-) weird as it was. in 2.3.3 my sim contacts would show in list so id set phonebook to hide and that was it, job done. for some reason since this update it seems that even tho they were still set to not display and was no issue for the Facebook sync within the phonebook, the sms application seemed to decide that the hidden sim contacts were priority and to not display the Facebook synced Google contact. deleted my sim contacts and the problem is gone! very random. thanks for the suggestions guys
[Galaxy S II General] Warren.D:
Is anyone else finding this update laggy? Especially scrolling through the app drawer? Please say its not just me....!

Upgrading O2 branded phone

I have an S2 on O2 and it is branded (has the O2 logo on boot). There is no update available through Kies for me and I'm stuck on 2.3.3. I gather I can upgrade using ODIN but I'm confused about which version of the official firmware represents 2.3.4 for an UK phone...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
If you want to rebrand your phone to Sim free you will find it in the development section, you need to look for the KI4 with xeu csc file.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
XEU / KI4 / 2.3.4

Samfirmware.com

Please read and make sure you know what your doing first.

Its very simple, but im still amazed when i see people having problems because they didnt read how to. :)

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] Gavin.csy:
I had the same problem i did the resolve connection issue on kies, reinstalled drivers like you

Finally what it took to work was rebooting the phone
[Galaxy S II General] UK_gnubie:
Thanks kindly for your reply, Manmikey.

I find all of this INTERESTING, but I suppose it's also a personal decision whether one also wants to make it one's HOBBY, as it does seem to take some time and commitment in learning and familiarising oneself with the various ins & outs involved.

I'll do some reading and try to follow as much here as available time permits, because, like most or all of us involved in this forum, I/ we want greater personal control in our devices, and, dare I say, in our lives.

And, as you say, if even Kies is far from failsafe, I think my time for the present at least, would be better spent on getting familiar with what the stock Galaxy S2 has on offer. Later I may want to see about upgrading. IceCreamSandwich?

Now that you've jumped through those hoops, what have you personally noticed in the way of both desirable and undesirable changes in the way that 2.3.4 (via Kies) looks and operates?

Cheers!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugzy3188:
To start things off, let me just say that I just installed the stock eh17 rom and put the AIO mod on top of it and this is the best looking and most stable that my phone has been since making the leap to gingerbread. However....the AIO mod wiped out CWM recovery for some reason and reverted me to stock. As far as I can tell I'm still rooted, I did the terminal test, I have SU, and wireless tether for root users which works fine....but no CWM.

Now I know most would say just odin it back but here in lies my second problem which probably deserves a thread of its own but ties in with this one. My pc just up and stopped recognizing my epic. I have 3 different cables two crap samsung and a better one, none of which work in ANY of my ports. I just odin'd EH06 like a week ago, but still I have tried updating my drivers with no avail. My device manager does not recognize or list my android device at all, I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, I have rebooted both devices several times and still get nothin. The only thing that I remember chaning between when it worked and when it didn't was I flashed an ext4 rom...could that be it? I've tried going back and it still doesn't work....

Anywa...deep breath...my main question is, is there a way to get CWM back on a rooted, deodexed, supuer user granted phone? Or am I screwed in that department? I guess on the bright side if I can't mod my phone anymore, at least its stable and looks good.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
Sometimes you can have 2 recoveries at one time. Have you tried 3 finger boot and rom manager to get into recovery?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omair2005:
Just run one click root again
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
So what do you get when you three finger into recovery? Stock recovery?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugzy3188:
I get stock recovery and I have tried rom manager to no avail.....I also tried downloading it and running it as a update zip but it said the signatures were bad...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yeah, you can only use signed update.zips. If no computer recognizes your phone then nothing will get CWM recovery back on. ADB needs to see your phone. if you have done the whole different cables, different ports, new drivers thing then you are mostly screwed. There is an EH17 Update.zip in development you can try.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugzy3188:
Well crap....until this point I thought it might not be too bad...I love the setup I have now and I haven't had a reboot or FC in 24 hours time...that is, until I tried to edit my contacts...they're not there!! Not just my conacts, the whole contacts app!! This really sucks...

Hey, try running the Samsung 1.3.08 driver pack in XP Service Pack 3 Compatibility Mode (via Rclick>Properties over the msi or exe file in Win7). Once installed just close. Then go to the [Guide] [Recovery] [Heimdall] Clockwork Mod 3.1.0.1 Purple Heimdall Epic thread here in Epic Android Development section.. Down and install Heimdall and run the driver pack (you may have to run PDANet as well). This is only the only way I can get reconnected in DL mode once my drivers go bat-****, which for some reason they do about every 6 weeks.

And after Heimdall recognizes your Epic, you can just shut it down and use Odin for your tar-balling fix if that is your fancy because after that Odin will COM your Epic again as well.

PM me if you need help on this, I am up till 2am most nights

If you are still on GB, only flash the recovery. Otherwise you are safe to flah kernel as well.

As far as all the driver crap
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Heimdall has it's own driver pack to install. And is more robust. You will be able to install just the recovery this way. I used it to swap out Bonsai recovery with CWM 3.1.0.1.

I create google account only to transfer contacts from wm6.5.

when I add this account in wp7 all contacts are sync. but i don't want use this account anymore. is it possible to delete this account from wp7 and don't loose contacts? because when I delete this account normally, all sync. contacts disapearing :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paschott:
You'll need to export your contacts from Google and import them into your Windows Live account. I know there are ways to export/import, but haven't played with them myself. I imagine a couple of quick searches would point you to the correct solution.

One of the features of the WP7 Contacts/Calendar/Email/Tasks model is that when you remove the account, everything associated with it goes away as well. That's great for things like corporate e-mail, but I can see the frustration if you just want the contacts and no e-mail/calendar/tasks.

Morning All

Hope you are all well, I was wondering if somebody could help with my issue?

I have got a rooted HTC Sensation running a stock ROM, when I navigate to Settings > About Phone > Software Updates and click Check Now nothing happens. The checking message comes up and thats all it will do.

Has anyone ever come across anything similar?

Kam
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Are you expecting to see an update?
[HTC Sensation] KamSandhu44:
No, but usually it should come back with no update found, I was just wondering if it was broken.
[HTC Sensation] aznrick08:
it means that theres no update available as of the moment.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Happens for me too, i think if there was an update, like HTC sense 3,5 (official) XDA would write about it, and you would know :)
[HTC Sensation] darryll4sh0:

Does anyone have a link to the latest version by chance? Thank you very much.

Just realised I'm in the wrong section, can a mod move this for me please? Sorry bout that.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pheel:
In market look for Rom manager. He this helps. Or flash DooMLoRD dual recovery. And select HTC desire HD.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Dark Nightmare:
My bootloader isn't unlocked bro, or I would've flashed the FXP kernel and gotten it instead, thanks for the help though mate.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pheel:
no problems. :) use the rom manager app from the market and select HTC desire HD (: but why would you want. CWM anyways? only J's ROM have edify. cwm won't accept pretty much all the update.zips unless you covert them to edify ...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Dark Nightmare:
I wanna test out J's FXP 30 release. (y) Thanks mate.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pheel:
umm, sorry to say mate, you'll HAVE to unlock your bootloader =[

J's CM7 requires HIS kernel to be run, and his kernel requires the unlocked bootloader.

Otherwise, bootloop =[

Well, if you need help in unlocking your bootloader, just ask, :D

Phil.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Dark Nightmare:
I know the entire process, my issue with unlocking it is my phone was unlocked via a third party software that the_laser didn't make a supported unlocker for. Eh, it's aight, just need to stick to the basics and no more.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nanodroid:
First thanks for the info, I didn't know where to get it.

So this recovery is useless atm, it won't work to flash other roms?

and Why do we need to select HTC desire HD?I think last time I downloaded this app the x10 was not listed, is that model compatible with the x10's?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Dark Nightmare:
Apparently so, but only for unlocked bootloaders, originally I was looking for the CWM that FXP team had modded to work on the x10, but it seems even those files are unavailable now since the bootloader has been unlocked, unfortunately.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pheel:
nahh, its just that the developer of ROM Manager hasn't put x10 on the list. but HTC Desire HD works. No big boo hoo, it works, so nothing really matters... right?

Hello I'm still learning doing this Android on SD on HD2. I'm not too familiar with the computer terms as well. Sorry for that. But my Market keeps updating to this new market 3. something and it crashes when I boot market up. Or if it actually stays open long enough alot of the apps says not compatible with my Phone. I have searched the forums and read about people doing some APK and deleting the auto update. I'm not quite sure that that means or how to do it. Is there anyone that can explain?? Greatly appreciated.

I am using the AmeriCan Android on my HD2 from the SD card method.

Thanks

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
go into settings - application - manage and find the market app entry, click that, then clear cache, and at the top, uninstall updates.

Now, i cant remember how to stop it updating itself, but if uninstalling eth update works, you are on the right track.

[Venue Pro General] rodrigohv:
I think would be cool to have a shortcut that go directly to keypad numbers, each time you have to call somebody have to do 2 steps, probably default page "history" would be useful for the last people you called, but no for somebody who in days havent called, it convert in a 3 steps task, i think iphone is easier in this way,

in this section (phone icon) and in yahoo (mail icon) (which i configured in my dell venue pro) using mango version, if you press Magnifier and go Back, the search bar is stuck there and menu doesnt appear until you press "go back" again... i think its a little bug.... because in marketplace works OK.

i think would be cool to custom the background colors of each icon, and personalize something inside them, i dont know, probably time of slideshow, text, what you want they show,etc...

i dont know, there are a lots of ideas for the WP7, in my case, bing scout doesnt work, since im in mexico, it works if i put in the map USA, but no in my city... barcodes or book covers are scanned perfectly and give results about location, costs, etc... GPS works cool too...

after all, mango was big in some aspects, some others are equal, and many others are not considered... definitively this OS need a "jailbreak" to customize and improve all potential from this OS by users, it's a pity, community have to improve or force to make devices better, and not M$ or Apple which only get benefit from it, i suppose iphone would not be sold equal if was not jailbreaked, since many of people i know have unlocked, cracked, and tons of apps obtained from Cydia, probably that's why so many people follow android... which in some time will be the TOP of OS's for phones....i think, some friends are developers and they prefer android, something like linux and windows...

lets see what happen, in my opinion, according about i use from my DVP Mango wasnt a big deal, i have to tell that speed use experience is awesome, it runs like a hell... Bing Scout was great for me but didnt work in Mexico :(
