[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagoorg:
Good.

My galaxy s2 failed to turn on.

Yesterday I installed the rom-BAR7 CriskeloRomV22-S-Tog-BLN-CallRec-Overscroll-3LS-CamHack-PWR-M-Esxt-(XXKI3-2.3.5), and the kernel SiyahKernel v1.7.8

and it works good

He was charging all night, the morning did the Battery Calibration, and was working perfectly

By late afternoon, I'll take it, and it dont turn on, nor in download mode or recovery mode or normally.

If you connect the charger a bit, note that it heats up, but no links or picture or anything

If connected to the computer appears to be installed this drive, but without success as you can see the image HERE

What solutions are there, without being sent to the warranty?

thanks

Pull the battery, wait a minute, reinsert the batterry and see if you get in recovery or downloadmode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brendonwardmusic:
You could try a USB Jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagoorg:
nothing happens :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
Just a thought

Maybe you had huge battery drain because of the rom or an application and it can not charged because of the temperature.Happened to me once with cm7(most probably my drain was from webroot security or setcpu)

.Remove the battery for longer time eg 15minutes and try to charge it

Ps if you have zero battery you can not enter recovery or download mode.I lived that and its really annoying
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Can`t you get in recovery (volume up - power - menu at the same time pressed) or download mode (volume down - power - menu at the same time pressed)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
Mentioned that he can not enter recovery or download
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagoorg:
no, i´ve tried this many times.... nothing happens :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagoorg:
the last time I saw,15minutes +- before turning off, had 65% battery...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
I mean remove the battery for 15minutes and then put it back and try to charge your phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagoorg:
i remove batery for 10 hours and nothing happens... help me please
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagoorg:
any more options please :(?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes as you have been informed already .

One try the USB recovery jig to turn download mode on that fails or you dont want to try a service centre for a non warranty repair .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Just another guess:

Charge the battery for some minutes.

After unplugging the phone, pull out the battery, external SD-card and SIM-card for some minutes.

Try to start that phone with battery only.

Good luck ...

if you know someone who has the same phone why not try using their battery?

I saw this dialer on a hacked iphone website. i WANT THIS NOW as my dialer but I don't have the tools or skills to make it happen. Can anyone else?

View attachment 740032

I think i might take a crack at it later this week. it would be a very simplified version tho. doubtful that id be able to make any effects upon pressing buttons or the like.

More info - http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/2007/12/29/new-app-kdialer/
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
if i remember, i will try my hand at it tonight and get some type of 'pressed' function.

alright, i found the folder that contains everything i will need, the first 'version' will maintain the same size buttons as the original (rectangular) but i will try to adapt that to be square like the actual pay phone buttons.
[Epic 4G Apps] xopher.hunter:
+1 this looks sick!
[Epic 4G Apps] VassagoX:
+2!!! I love it!
[Epic 4G Apps] FrankyFiggz27:
sounds great. this is by far the coolest dialer ive ever seen lol. iphone f*ckers!!!
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
ok, so after screwing with it for a while, im stumped.. there is obviously more to it than i thought, or im totally doing something wrong..

im in a bit over my head for just starting out with all of this.. ill continue trying it out tonight, but so far im at a loss.
[Epic 4G Apps] VassagoX:
No big deal, keep trying! This is the only way to learn. I'm going to start doing the same once I get my replacement. My charger port crapped out on me.
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
yeah, i am going to flash the stock GB phone.apk and try modding it again today and see what happens. I PM'd someone that has themed dialers before to see if there is some major thing or minor thing i overlooked.

ok, i am retarted.. i KNEW i picked the wrong apk :D

its the dialertabactivity.apk that needs the modifications!! will work on tonight and get something working!
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
im going to work on something now in photoshop/CAD program to show what I will be able to do with it, but you guys will have to let me know what you WANT.

i can either re-create the style of buttons as best that i can in photoshop, or use JPG/PNGS of actual buttons from a phone like done in the iphone app.

if i make the buttons in photoshop, I can give them the 'pressed' effect

OK, im confused.. that screen shot of the app, and i dont know if pay phones are/were like that, but there is no Q or Z on it o.O

here is a VERY preliminary idea for this dialpad..

this was done in a CAD program, so not much flexibility. I will create the Shadow effect to make the buttons look 3Dish as shown in the pic below..

the gray/gray gradient would be replaced with an actual brushed steel texture.

i would also add some type of effect to give the buttons the concave look in the middle..

what im looking for is what people think of the layout. to get it to work well with everything as it is, i will be using the SAME size pngs with transparent left/right sides which explains the orientation of the buttons/text/
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
i also found out that my phone.apk modifications DID get pushed.. they show up in the 'in call' Keypad, as seen here. i will also theme that one, as it will be pretty much the same PNG files, renamed..

keep in mind, all i did was compress the width and change the BG color to verify they would theme..

the reason i will not just be re-sizing the PNGs is demonstrated above by the in CALL (phone.apk) keypad. the .xml sheet dictates the padding and adjusts it with the PNG size.. if i were to keep the same PNG size for example (140x82) with transparent edges, it would be justified correctly, but resizing to 82x82 left justifies them (per the dictating xml sheet) it is easier to maintain the same image sizes than edit the XML sheets for sure.
[Epic 4G Apps] MikeyLee:
I'd definitely use this one.
[Epic 4G Apps] FrankyFiggz27:
nice work so far. very nice. adding the colors shouldnt be too hard now.

and btw im pretty sure payphones (and most old phones in general) left off the q and z. who needs them lol. good catch tho.
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
yeah, i wasn't sure, but figured i would add them anyway, cuz it just looks weird :P

just wanted to confirm that was kinda the layout that you were looking for, the rest should be quite easy tonight.. the only tedius part is editing EACH number PNG file, the buttons and background, along with the 'pressed' buttons will be cake (read: SHOULD be cake)

ill have something workable by tomm. morning :)
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
currently working on it..

i am compiling a PSD file for the number buttons so if anyone wants to modify it, its all in ONE PSD file..

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

drum roll please.. still need to fix the BACK and MESSAGE button, but i put this in a flash able zip and here is what i came up with!!!

BTW, the look of the '5' button is when pressed, not to different, not quite sure i care for it, but ill work on it a little more to refine it, but it works!

Version 2 after some refining..

The '8' is PRESSED in the above image.
[Epic 4G Apps] FrankyFiggz27:
damn..ur good. and quick. theres no way u can just cut out the numbers from the image i posted and resize them to the same size as the .png files in the dialer.apk and replace all the number .pngs? that's wut i was planning on doing (probably tonight). think u can post the work u've done so far at some point today so maybe i can try that wen i get home? or is that not even possible lol

EDIT: ok i realized its not that easy. but i did cut out each individual number. here they are in case they can be used.

View attachment 741730
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
one of the problems with the attachment is the resolution.

i can use photoshop to increase the size and make it almost identical to the one in the first post (with the same layout as above, but it wont have a 'press' effect)

the only way i can think to do it to more replicate what the 'real' dial pad looks like is to have ZERO effect on the 'press' (without a decent amount of rework, since each button is different)

I think the way that dialer was created is similar to how the swype PNGs are with ONE background image and invisible boxes surrounding the numbers to respond to your 'press'

the best i can do easily would be 'empty' the BUTTON PNGS (they underlay number/letters ) and just save each of the crops as Button_normal_XX.png and Button_PRESS_XX.png

i can link the .zip and you can extract the exact APK or are you wanting something different? if you do it the above way, you wont really need the PSD's for anything (i included them in the apk for people wanting to modify things even easier)

although, one benefit of doing it the way with just cropping the iphone style one without any PRESS styles and such, it will provide flexability to the layout, as you can shift the first and third row towards the center to fix the layout!

Do you want to take care of it, or would you like me to? I can probably have something worked up by around 1 pm today, ready to flash and everything!
[Epic 4G Apps] FrankyFiggz27:
just do wut u do. i have near-zero skill in this area lol i don't want u to think i'm gunna make some advanced result happen. don't know how to edit xml files. whatever u make will be appreciated and im sure cool.

just for the record tho, i personally dont really care about the button-press effect, and i would prefer identical aesthetics over anything. But i'm sure many people would complain that there's no effect on press and who really want that feature. looking forward to flashing!
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
finished, flashing to my phone right now for testing!!

had to make a few refinements and modifications from the graphic style pad to get it to look a little better. i still have to modify the background a bit to blend in a little better with the buttons.

im using GIMP @ work instead of photoshop so it takes some getting used to..

took a while longer than i expected, i originally renamed some PNGs because i thought it would be easier than emptying them, but it didnt like than and FC'd.. then i forgot to edit a couple things.. after 4 flashings, here it is!!

DONE!! I think it came out pretty good.. no press effect, but mimics the iphone one better than the one made with graphics..
[Epic 4G Apps] FrankyFiggz27:
BEAUTIFUL!!!
[Epic 4G Apps] turbosocks:
yet another revision to make it look a little more 'real' and flow better with the background. (rotated the 'brushed' style vertically, lightened it up a bit to reduce the contrast)

Im going to call that the FINAL version unless anyone has a comment on the look

[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
This rant is not about the current Epic phone. I love this phone, so I don't really have much to complain about, other than my charger port going out after over a year of use. This isn't a bad number though, considering I had to replace my HTC Touch Pro 5 times within a year due to screen issues...

No, this is not a rant about the current Epic, but a rant about the Epic Touch. Maybe not so much the Epic Touch alone, but the manufacturers and their inability to keep things consistent. They come out with new phones with tons of upgrades in hardware. That's great! What I don't like is when they take features away. This is why I'm doubting I will ever jump to the Touch...

It's not the lack of slide-out keyboard I hate. I waited for the Epic to come out solely for this feature, but find with Swype, I never use it. No, it's the one tiny overlooked feature that I use quite often on my Epic. The dedicated shutter button for the camera!!! Seriously! Why take that away??? You make all of these changes to the hardware that make it a far superior phone, but you take away something as simple as this that has a huge benefit push? ARGH!

Has anyone else found themselves loving new phones that come out, but deciding not to because of that ONE little feature that you refuse to lose?

Ok, end of rant. :D
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
yes ... i hate that my nexus doesnt have a camera button or a led light... even though bln makes up for the led i have to press the screen to take a picture and sometimes its easy to move when touching the screen
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
No camera button is a *****
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
Seriously! I would upgrade to the Epic Touch, I really would, if it had that freakin camera button. Everything else about that phone is sexy! They are losing business from at least me just because of something that should be so basic in all phones at this point. Pressing the screen is a pain in the butt, especially when turning it around to take a picture of yourself with the back camera for quality and flash purposes. I've become a pro at this with my Epic.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
How do you guys manually focus with the on screen controls? I always use my two stage camera button
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
I've always found that it works pretty well on it's own when I need to take a self group photo. I guess I could always get someone else to take the pictures, but it's just more of an annoyance than anything else. lol
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
The phone focuses so fast and the shutter speed is speedy as well. I haven't taken a blurry pic yet. I use Swipe Pad from the Market and set the camera as one of the 12 apps so its actually really fast and easy to open the camera.
[Epic 4G General] corythug:
Camera button is nice, but I can do without it if it makes for a slimmer sexier device.
[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
you just tap the screen to focus and hit the button to take the picture. I hate the hard button personally because when i press it the camera always moves. But the on screen one can take a very light tap and nothing moves. so I actually never use the hardware button.
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
That's fine. On the Epic, you have that option. My point is, they took away a very basic and simple feature from a phone needlessly. Now you no longer have the option. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Same here. I only ever use the camera button to turn the camera on. Touch screen focus you can actually pick the focal point of the picture other than dead center which I like.

[EVO 4G General] Xtazy305:
thank you..... I think the same, the key is that they take a phone and give you enough promotion so you can buy the phone and the year after thay take another phone out with two or three different things so all customers will want the new ones, im pretty sure its a way to take more money from customers... like the iphone 3G 3GS 4, then 4s
