[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n1nj4dude:
Is there anyone else using Barnacle with this phone? It seems to work great except for when i try to stop the tethering. the UI shows it has stopped but the device i am tethered to is clearly still receiving data?

Anyone else experiencing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Why use Barnacle? The native tethering works better (actually behaves as an AP instead of adhoc) once you freeze or delete TetherManager2.apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apexi350z:
How do you go about to freeze or delete TetherManager2.apk? I imagine root is needed correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yes - but it would be needed for Barnacle anyway.

"freeze" is something you can do with TitaniumBackup.

I usually just manually remove it in an ADB shell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n1nj4dude:
i know root is needed, i think you you thought the other guy was me? anyways i will try it out when i get home, thank you

ive already removed it i just thought i read somewhere its safer to use a 3rd party app but if the stock one is safe after removing this than id much rather do that

+1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I don't think anything is safe any more. AT&T seems to be doing deep packet inspection now.

So far people who have tethered Android tablets don't seem to have problems, but even light tethering with a PC gets you nailed now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n1nj4dude:
good to know, thanks again
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I've come to rely on superuser permissions on a few apps and have disabled the update check and am sticking with 3.1 until a stable, simple, 3.2 root option comes out.

Who else is holding out with 3.1 and why?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
More-or-less the same. I've found all custom ROMs I've tried to be in one way or another buggy piece of sh*t, either they eat away at the battery or they try to be clever and instead introduce stuff that breaks or whatnot, so I rather just wait for a tool to root the stock 3.2.

And until such a tool is released I'll just stay on 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] baldbear:
I let it go to 3.2, missed rooting. Went back to stock, then put the 3.2 stock rooted Rom on. Now I'm happy. No cuteness, no trying to make it faster, just the stock (and crapware) of the Iconia.
[Acer Iconia A500] josinpaul:
Yup...I am ready to wait for icecream sandwich. I find no reason to upgrade(downgrade) to 3.2.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Same hear staying with 3.1 . Tried most other roms and spent way to much time trying to fix and fugure out all the bugs. Went to stock 3.1 and root and my tab just works like it should, don't like all the crap ware, but at least it works.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooster242:
This prob belongs in the android dev forums but since I'm new to the forums I can't post there yet so sorry if this post is in the wrong place. On to my question...

On the market publisher's home page it lists number of "users" and number of "devices". What's the difference between users and devices? I've poked around google a bit but can't find an answer, or even the question for that matter. Also, is it just my imagination or did this change recently?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gingivitis:
Update: Solved by removing the noise cancellation by hitting the menu button while in a phone call. Unbelievable that noise cancellation would cause the speaker not the function. Turning it off cause the blue icon mentioned below to go away as well.

First: This is the handset speaker for phone calls, not the rear (loud speaker).

After trying the clockwork speed mod on my 2.2 Captivate (finally lag gone), people complained my MIC was difficult to understand, so I tried going into the service mode and doing the following (noting defaults) using this guy's info

http://android.modaco.com/topic/315030-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-mic-sensitivity-recording/

Steps:

*#*#197328640#*#*

[5] AUDIO

[1] HANDSET

[1] VOLUME

[6] I2S1 Rx Gain: Change to 0x38e8 (was 0x3c45)

[4] DST Speech TX Volume: Change to 98, was 88.

After doing this I had no volume in telephone calls, but in speaker phone mode and also while plugging in the mic. The mic appears to be detected properly - with Pandora running, I can plug it in and it switches from the external speaker to the mic. At this point I switched them back to the originals and it was the same condition. Reboot, the same.

Since then I have tried

Lots of googling and searching this forum

Factory default restore in the Clockwork bootloader

A few different sound managers - none have settings for handset volume

Other settings in the service manager.

I am guessing either

a) Speaker is killed (doubtful, not like I set gain to 0xFFFF)

b) I inadvertently changed something in the service manager when changing the gain setting

I plan on trying:

Once-click gingerbread clean install:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 Done, no dice

Then loading:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127578

Until then its either speaker phones or headphones for phone calls. If I can get this back, I'll optimistically looking for mic tuning after this :)

Also of interest - I used the Voodoo speed mod before Clockwork, but it hosed up some operations of the phone (auto-rotate, some audio sounds disabled).

During calls there is a little blue icon above the "end call" button which looks like a phone with a voice bubble coming out of it. I assume this is normal. It goes away during speaker and mic mode.
[General Questions and Answers] Flipnotix:
I am fairly new with using android phones, and I am encountering that error when I am attempting to update Superuser. I'm using a Samsung Admire SCH-R720 Android 2.3.4 and I rooted it with the One Click root. I've downloaded titanium backup, Root Checker, and terminal emulator to make sure I am really rooted. I've tried uninstall/reinstalling superuser, installing the superuser update fixer(which said signatures matched), and clicking on automatic update. Current version of SU Binary is 2.3.1-ef and everything in the update is fine until it gets to "Copying su to /system... fail!". Superuser does request for rights when it asks to gain root access which I click on Allow. I am also not sure if busybox installed correctly or not, but the Root Checker program I installed said busybox was installed.

I got the same problem with my Galaxy S. Then I opened BusyBox Installer and it said that I have multiple busybox installed. I found busybox in /system/xbin and /sbin but the file size of the one in /sbin seemed abnormal, just 402 bytes. So I reinstalled busybox to /sbin. And rerun the superuser update after that. The fail has gone.

Hi,

I want to flash my gs2 but I have my phone on contract with orange. This means it has orange software on the phone. now for insurance reasons i really need to keep a backup of the original rom so if for some reason i need to send the phone back I can flash the original rom back on the phone and use a usb jig to remove the triangle.

Would anyone please be able to help me with this as the stock rom sucks soooo bad

I have tried to back it up through clockworkmod recovery app off the market place but everytime I try it either says I do not have permission or it says it failed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
You neet to root the phone first, then you'll need to grant SU permissions from the Superuser app when prompted, "allow".

Easiest way is to search for a matching Chainfire CF-root kernel and flash that through Odin.

Follow his instructions exactly and you'll be right. You can then boot into recovery from the cwm app.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

If you have adb setup, and know how to use it;

1. Copy the Custom ROM.zip to your sdcard folder on the phone

2. Rename to "update.zip"

3. Run CMD and navigate to the sdk tool folder where adb.exe is

4. Run "adb reboot recovery" to enter recovery mode

5. Phone to boots into recovery screen

6. "apply: /sdcard/update.zip"

7. After finish, reboot into new ROM

Haven't tried it myself though on the SGS2 ..............

Lost my Home button after odin flash HELP

I am stuck a i9100 that has no home working home button after i botched my first odin flash. I can not seem to get the device to be recognized by ADB or ODIN now that its messed up. I can boot into the Android Recovery System e3, and i can move up and down in the menu, but the 'home' button i used to select options no longer works. I can not get it to boot out of that menu.

This is a Sprint branded i9100 from the United States... tho when i got it, it was already 'rooted' with Gingerbread-Eg30 however it did not state the firmware version. So after i used ODIN to ref lash it... it rebooted and killed my home key... Now i am not sure what to do. ADB is not finding the device listed and I can't seem to get it to take a rom. Any suggestions?

Prior to flashing this rom in odin i had a working home key which was used as part of the 3 button combo to ender flashing mode or to select an option in the stock recovery menu.

Any help would be great!

Flash a full wipe rom like stock in download mode that should fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernstein67:
I am having the same problem. My I9100's home button doesn't work. I had cyanogenmod 10.1 and cwm recovery installed. Used the button saviour app to operate a virtual home button on screen. Updated to cyanogenmod 10.2. nightly yesterday. All seemed working. Today I found that some apps like Google Play and ROM Manager would crash on when started. So I thought I go back to cyanogenmod 10.1. Started the installation of 10.1 from the "about this phone" settings because ROM Manager crashed and I couldn't boot into recovery from the crashing ROM Manager.

So, I now flashed a stock firmware from samfirmware.com with ODIN (because I can get into download mode with the USB-Jig), but that stock rom stucks in a boot loop.

Any suggestions? I believe, I am stuck in boot loop because I couldn't wipe the phone before flashing. Is there any way to wipe it in download mode?

Or can you be more specific, how to flash a "full wipe rom" and post a link where I can download such a rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
1. Don't use rom manager on i9100, sure way to screw things up /brick.

2. Get the hardware sorted before you muck around with software. As you have found out, it's easy to get into a situation where you need the hardware to function correctly.

3. Download JB leak (stock firmware) from samfirmware and flash it via Odin. It's a 3 part firmware, and will wipe as it flashes.

Bluetrek Musicall

I picked up a Bluetrek Musicall at Frys for just under $50. I use it at work paired with both my deskphone and my computer, if I'm listening to music on the computer and the phone rings it breaks in. The little dent at the top is the mic, and the headphone plugs in on the top left. The back is a metal clip and it recharges via USB plugged in to the headphone jack. Battery life is only about 6-7 hours so by the end of the day I'm switching to a cable, and this sounds like typical for these devices. I'd get another one if I need it, works fine.

I was about to update my ROM on my wifi xoom when I noticed that the edge of my SD Card opening was bubbled from heat, further investigation, my xoom had melted just behind the top of the SD card, causing the SD card to melt a little as well. Sounds like a manufactured flaw, is this something anyone has experienced? I hope I can get it replaced if I simply put it back to stock...
[Xoom General] Chilli71:
Photos! :-)

I think we are all curious about photos :).

But you should also make photos for yourself to documentate the damage. The problem should be covered by warranty. But Moto might say that SD card was the root cause of the problem, or that you inserted SD card wrong and generated a shortcut.

If the SD card would still work, Moto should not have much arguments to reject warranty. However, most cases I heard off Moto exchanged defect devices whithout any problems.

Chilli
[Xoom General] e.mote:
>I hope I can get it replaced

The battery pack is the only component that can output any appreciable heat, and it's not at the edge of the tablet. Whatever caused the plastic to melt sounds like an external source.

It may well be chemically related, ie a liquid (solvent?) coming into contact with the plastic and causing a reaction.

You can hope for the best, but getting the manufacturer to foot the bill for external shell damage is just slightly easier than RMA'ing a cracked screen. Good luck all the same.
