Hi Guys.....

I really need your help as i came from the country which i dont know to whom i should as for help.

I bought a used Topaz,again...Before this i dont have any problem to flash.Once flash HardSPL and every day i flash any new custom ROM.Its a habbit.....but i sold it already and now i bought it for the second time.

This time bundle with WM 6.5 but when i check bootloader it shows HardSPL 2.51 and no 'olinex' around there.

Then try to HardSPL again and it says something error due to commercial etc...etc...and also cannot flash any custom ROM...it just stucked....

I did a research and request for unlocker from HardSPL support but theres no answer...I did PM one of the Guru here but no reply also..maybe he's busy,its ok.

Now im stucked and pleaseee please guys i need to flash a custom ROM...What should i do?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] connexion2005:
I wanted to share my experience here in the general forum so others don't waste time, effort or money troubleshooting or buying an incompatible battery. Do to the I777 version of the SGS II using an NFC compliant battery, there is something unique within the battery and the way the phone is charged. In the past ALL SGS I batteries were interchangeable with the exception of the SCH-I500 Fascinate and it's variants having a different battery.

What does this mean?

It means that the SGS II I9100 Battery is NOT compatible with the SGS II I777. The NFC style battery is REQUIRED in the SGS II I777. If you use a base I9100 battery it will operate fine under any stand alone condition but whenever a USB cable is inserted, the phone will immediately go into chronic rebooting every 3 seconds and leave you wondering what is going on for the most part. The only mode this reboot doesn't affect is Download Mode.

What should I look for when buying a replacement?

Make sure the battery you buy is I777 compatible. Don't buy a plain SGS II I9100 battery and assume it will work. Until manufacturers begin to produce units that are compliant with both (backwards compatibility shouldn't be an issue). This should not apply to docks, chargers and cables and most likely is only battery specific.

I just wanted to share my experiences so you don't waste time and/or money buying an incompatible battery or troubleshooting an issue which can appear as software in the form of hard rebooting.

Below is a sample of the difference of the batteries in both model number, and front facing view of the NFC text found on the I777. The I9100 unit is on the right, and the I777 unit is on the left. Excuse the quality I found a random photo to use rather than take one... ;)

Have more details on why the NFC unit is different? Post them up and I'll add them to the OP to help educate.

i'm taking bets on how many threads will get created asking about why their phone is rebooting when they plug it in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LonghornNTX:
So if you buy an I900 compatible battery that charges via battery dock connector and never utilize a cord/usb to tether phone would you be OK?

Only reason I ask.....I have this on it's way from Amazon and have heard it works fine from my friend that utilizes the battery on his Samsung GS2.

I am using a I9100 battery in my att gs2 with no problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] connexion2005:
From my use they work just fine from a stand alone point. I do however have no long term results of what using a non NFC battery will do to it but to be honest during a dis-charge state, it shouldn't matter what battery is in there so long as the voltage is the same which in that case it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] takakoshimizu:
Stupid question: What about in reverse?

I have a non-NFC UK SGS II...could I use an I777 battery safely inside it?

Additionally, would it be possible with the rightsoftware to utilize that NFC?

(basically got lied to on ebay, been perpetually bummed about lack of NFC)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, the battery only has the antenna I'm fairly certain. The NFC controller itself is in the phone I'm fairly certain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dtrinh4000:
will an i777 battery work okay in an i9100 international sgs2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daddymatt:
I'm using an i777 battery in my i9100 while typing this... needless to say it works fine. The only physical difference I can tell is the i777 battery is a hair thicker if you lay them side by side on a flat surface and get level with yotur eyes... the voltage and everything else is identical... definitely not sweating it. IV been using it for 3 days now. As for long term, still should be fine. But its on you if not... I'm no battery "expert" but I do understand basic AC/DC.

[Motorola Photon 4G] noob_2010:
I have the choice of getting the Iphone but not sure If I wanna give up on the Photon just yet. Yes everyday I experience new problems with the current Photon I have but I know the newer models are different. Like when I wifi tether I can't refresh my email. Earlier today Pandora radio wouldnt work the data was out for an hour....So yeah I have one of the bad patches of the Photons.Anywho, for those that know of the Iphone which do you think would be the better phone FOR: world wide use, music(not just songs from your computer), streaming videos from websites, signal.

Thanks :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Streaming video is probably gonna be close to the same on either phone from a strictly data point of view as you'll be on the same network. Overall the iphone is horrible for customizing, it is "user friendly" but by that I mean my grandpa could use it well, it's boring and dull. If you've got an Android, and tweaked on it at all. It's not worth the change. Plus iphone doesn't allow insurance through Sprint. You have to take out a policy with Farmers. Which is a pain in the ass if you have to get it fixed. So those are also things to take into account.
[Motorola Photon 4G] evobb10:
iPhone doesn't have Wimax so you can't use a WiFi tether any more

Good luck
[Motorola Photon 4G] sapperpipo:
In. my opinion the photon is just a better phones overall. I javelin the photon and work on iphones all the time theyre just a pain in. the ass.
[Motorola Photon 4G] noob_2010:
you can still tether on a iphone without wimax

Well his point was no 4G. My Hero can do that and more!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Iphone 4S = Evo. Lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
In my opinion Apple is making a big mistake by not supporting 4g. The Iphone is supposed to be the leader. But no 4g = fail. Look at how upset people are that unlock breaks 4g on the Mopho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
We care cause we have it. I don't think most iphone dolts put that much thought into it. Could be wrong but if you never had something it's hard to miss.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jjday7:
I think on an insurance stand point alone the iPhone 4s is losing. Just imagine buying this phone and losing it or lets say running it over with a car. Your left with no phone and neother sprint or apple care will do anything to help. That makes for a unhappy camper I understand why sprint won't cover it but its not going to be a good thing when something happens to the phone. Good luck getting a replacement online on eBay and Craigslist because we all know the resale of the iPhone is extremely inflated. Just make sure you have a hell of a case and have some sort of tracking software on your phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Actually Verizon and AT&T are the same with iphone. Have to get outside insurance for it no matter the carrier. Total fail.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackhawk1:
Hi everyone,

I dunno whether this have been posted, but I have discovered that, on the latest firmware 2.1.1.a.0.6 unrooted, when the phone set to wcdma/3g only the battery last so long.

After a day (24hrs) of standby and few sms, it has dropped to 75%.

Before I was on 2g/ both with wcdma preferable, 100% to 0% in 12 hrs only without doing anything.

could someone please try to see if it works the same for you.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
Nope

because of different hardware and different software, i think it could be that.

i have used (before i jumped to android 2.3) 3G and it goes down too fast. this is the first time im seeing someone using 3G and saying it lasts more..! i have no idea!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VZAMaZ:
I had to try locking the phone to 3G only just to test this, and now the phone goes from 100% to 75% in 11 hours. Not much difference from 3G/2G. 2G only is much better for battery life.

If your battery is zapped within 12 hours, you have some other problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackhawk1:
after 3days6hrs, there is still 20% of juice left. few sms and about 20minutes of voice call during that period

incredible.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] panamamike:
The difference probably has to do with network coverage in your area. I think picking one protocol over the other and not having the phone check both bands save on battery.

In my area, there's plenty of 3G coverage, and setting to 3g only, on my MiniPro 2 has saved on battery.

I suspect if you're in a good 2g coverage area, with spotty or bad 3g, setting to 2g only is probably better.

Ok so I'm working with a phone right now. The person said they had contacts synced to google, they didn't. I have a TiBu of all their stuff, but upon restore there are just a ton of force closes.

Is there a way to take the data that TiBu saved and retrieve contact info?

I could flash back to stock, but I'd rather see if this is possible.

Currently I have kept Auto Sync off. And my Exchange Sync is Manual.

Now whenever I want to sync my contacts and calendar I have to do two things:

1. Enable the Auto Sync from the notification (it is available in the ROM/Theme that I am using). So that is quick.

2. Change from Manual to Push in my Exchange Account Settings. Now this is not so quick. :(

Is there a way of creating some kind of shortcut to do this?

I really like the web browser that comes with android, it fits websites nicely to the page unlike say Opera. But what is with the touch? it's always lagging behind, not like it's slow, but like they enabled some sort of smooth into action setting or something. If you move the page up and down, you'll see it's like it's chasing your finger. Is their a way to make the touch fast and on point with your finger like with Opera?

Yeah I tried dolphin, it's cool, like it. I kinda like the simplicity of the android browser though, just wish their was a way to fix the touch. If I stick with Dolphin i'll have to figure out how to get it to replace my web button on the bottom bar, I thought with the new gingerbread you was able to replace those buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bfinleyui:
Go to your Applications drawer, hit the context button (i don't know the real term, the one in bottom left, brings up the sub-menu). It'll give you a warning about changing the 'view type' to customizable grid. Click the 'switch' button. You should be able to drag whatever application you want down into the bottom-four to replace the initial apps. I replaced the default messaging with Chomp.

When you're done, hit that same Context button and hit 'save'.

You'll also probably want to go back into that context menu, hit the 'view type' button and switch it back to Alphabetical grid. It leaves your bottom 4 alone, just re-organizes the main ones.

That 'edit' menu is also a really easy way to uninstall apps.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:
SO I unlocked my Sidekick earlier in order for there to be more of a market for it when I sell it, but when I popped in my friends AT&T sim card there seemed to be no data connection, anyone know why there wouldnt even be EDGE or anythng>

I have the same issue. Got this sidekick, read on here how to root it and unlock it. Called att to update my imei code, went to an att store to have them get me a new 4g sim card, aaaaand I have no data what so ever.

The only thing I've read on some random android forum I found, was that this sidekick uses a different radio freq unsupported by att. And something to the nature of since "sidekick" is a tmobile exclusive phone, tmobile has some 3rd party data service provider for it. And that service providor, since its a private co, has
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jasons239:
Sorry, accidently hit submit. So that 3rd party data provider has sole control over all sidekick data connections. Possibly like how you need a blackberry plan for blackberrys to utilize bbm. I'm not sure. Again, I only found these 2 reasons on some random forum, and they were not repeated elsewhere, so I don't know how accurate this is.

It sucks for me bc I have unlimited data too, not capped off at 2gb/month like the current plans.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:
Thanks alot for your answer!

Im in kind of the same situation. I let my friend take over my ATT phone because it had unlimited data and I didnt wana cancel so I just got the Sidekick prepaid plan to easily tranistion to my ATT sim but I was dissapointed when It owuldnt even pick up EDGE
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
That sidekick data thing was for the old sidekicks when they ran danger's OS it doesn't apply to ours because it is android.

Sucks you guys are having this issue, i would go into your connections menu and try messing around with those settings
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eurohomie:
When you switch over to a different network you have to change your phone's APN settings. I went to europe this summer and got 3G over there the entire time with their SIM cards.

to get to APN settings go to SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS>Mobile Networks>Access point names....

Now you'll have to create an APN depending on what your network is, you should have a T-Mobile one by default, but to get the proper settings, you can just do a google search for "(your network) APN settings" or call your provider
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:

Root is having access to root account in os. It has nothing to do with cwm since cwm is loaded before the os loads.

They are irrelevant

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
In addition, all of our CWM-enabled kernels are "insecure" kernels - They give root at all times to ADB sessions, this is why SuperOneClick works after flashing them.

But only ADB sessions get root, so you use the "rooted" ADB shell to root the system partition. After that you've got perma-root until you nuke su and Superuser.apk from /system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SNadler:
I think I am confused again?

When I flash a kernel, I have root. I have never used super one click. Just flashed your kernel. I thought that is what gave me root? Are you saying I still do not have root for /system files? Or does your kernel push su and superuser when it is flashed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Mine does, codeworkx's doesn't.

Setting a kernel to be insecure is a lot easier and takes less time than putting in a robust root-inject script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DoctorQMM:
Entropy512: Does this mean that codeworkx's kernel must be flashed with SuperOneClick in order to have complete root (to /system)... but with your kernels we don't need to flash SuperOneClick? If so, in order to unroot (without SuperOneClick) I suspect one would have to flash the non-root stock kernel? Thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yes. (Unless you flash an su package with CWM instead of SuperOneClick)

Really, all SuperOneClick is doing are the following commands, assuming you've got a proper su binary and Superuser.apk:

adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
