[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
The backup is consisted of a several .img files.

How can I tell if it contains EFS or not, and if it does, how can I 'tell' CWM not to backup this information?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
list the files in back up and we will tell which ones are safe to transfer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
Sorry, The following are the backup files:

.android_secure, boot, cache,data, nandroid.md5,system.

As far as i am aware backup does not contain EFS but i am not 100% sure .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fevves:
I'm also interested in this as I would like to port my existing phone backup to another SGS2, but I have doubts re MAC address and also IMEI.

EFS info stated previously does not give much insight, but what I have as a regular CWM backup is: nandroid.md5 *giving proper checksum for other 4 files), boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, system.ext4.tar and data.ext4.tar files, totaling ~ 1.20GB. No EFS dedi files. I fear my second SGS2 might receive wrong info through backup flash, thus resulting conflicting one with another. As both phones will be used in the same household (my son would receive my old SGS2), and also IMEI is worrying me as I wouldn't want ending with both of them having the same one and resulting illegitimate while both SGS2 are legit!

I searched with google, but haven't found SGS2 related topics.

Anyone with more insight or willing to help?

TIA.

Cheers!

Edit: if none replies, I might give it a try as I already have CWM backup on both phones mounting the very same ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave106:
Yeah it can be done. CWM doesn't back up efs so won't need to worry about that. It will put an exact duplicate on her phone though. All settings, contacts, messages, accounts etc will be copied across.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
dude at any point of time u cant change the IMEI no its no ware related to ur rom hence dont worry

but ensure that u put the bkp file under cwm/backup folder other wise u cannot install the bkp from recovery;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fevves:
Thanks for the info guys. That is all I wanted to "hear" (read) ;) and it seems not so complicated after all (thank god, not like on some other Android devices and nandroid backup). Will clone my phone to other one as soon as I have some spare time and will report back.

Edit:

Just cloned my older SGS2 to a newer one, did complete restore of internal memory on newer SGS2 and everything works as a charm, just enabled it on my home wifi network and that's it. Older SGS2 just got dalvik etc wipe so it can be clean for my kid :D

So it is really a piece of cake and

is

doable.

Thanks for advices and hints whoever posted here.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsp254:
I've tried several prl's on my shift running cm7 nightlies since 179 or so. I know the device is roaming after seeing my data usage, which scares the poop out of me that sprint is going to axe me.

Here's the problem. When I know I'm roaming the system (cm7) shows my service as sprint, the signal looks the same (no R or any other indicator of roaming), and speedtests etc show sprint. I saw somewhere that I could dial *2 or some code and tell the difference by the voice commands.

Is there any way to make cm7 show when I'm roaming or the name of the roaming provider? Should it be showing verizon as the provider or at least and R on the signal or data indicator?

I know the gsm phones show which provider you are currently connected to. This may just be a cdma thing.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
There is a setting for monitoring roaming.

I thought Sprint had unlimited free roaming?

You must live in bumble **** if you are seeing the "roaming" notification.

BTW you want to be using the latest radio, prl and profile.

Sprint has mediocre service here. Verizon is king in this area. The prl's I'm testing now are sprintverizon and verizonsprint. The one that ran my roaming off the charts was 00001. Its a verizon prl though, so its expected. All these are on the hero forum. I know I could get more info on the prl's there, but my issue involves the shift specificly so I was hoping someone here may know.

The prl I'm running at this moment is verizonsprint. Its default signal is verizon and if verizon signals aren't found it roams on sprint. If I read the thread correctly. Right now my signal and data indicators are normal. No R or any other indication of roaming and displays sprint.

Like I said, even on the verizon prl, it displayed sprint and no indication of roaming.

I don't live in bumfukt, but there is a community near here named egypt. :)

Also... on the unlimited roaming. Best to call it psuedo-unlimited. They still have constraints. Actually, one of the persons on the hero thread that helps mod these prls got a notice from sprint that they were dropping him. So, in lighter news, want out of a sprint contract.... a prl change and massive data transfer could possibly assist in getting an early termination!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron Overdrive:
Not quite. Sprint has unlimited roaming on Voice calls if you have the Unlimited Everything plan. If you have Everything Data when you roam on Voice calls minutes are deducted from your land line minutes. As for Data, if you use less then 2Gb of data a month on Sprint's network you have a 100mb roaming cap and a 300mb roaming cap if you use more then 2Gb. That's why if you're going to be roaming a lot its better to disable data roaming and rely on WiFi for data.

I have had this app for a few days now and thought I'd recommend it, Its great.

You can use it as a lock screen or to lock individual apps, its fast and accurate.

It scans your face and only unlocks if it finds a match, very clever.

https://market.android.com/details?id=visidon.AppLockPlus&feature=search_result

The only down side I have found is that it isn't brilliant in very low light conditions, obviously.

There is a free version but some functions only work in the full version.

[HTC Sensation] su_rf:
I'm looking for a Musicplayer that is able to play the Audible format (e.g. aa) they use for the audio books.

The audible app itself has a problem with registration process :mad: at least on my HTC Sensation and therefore I search for an alternative.

Any hints are appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] johnpatcher:
I don' think you'll find any officially supported (and legal) alternative to the one released and support by Audible itself. Consider that there is some form of DRM included, which makes it necessary to register any devices/player.

If you experience problems with the official application, you should contact Audible, I'm sure they'll try to fix it for you.
[HTC Sensation] su_rf:
I have Audible already contacted and reported this bug. But my impression is that they are not interested in fixing this bug though it's documented on the official developer website.

I removed the app and use instead my iPod touch. This is the only working alternative at this time. The only annoying point is that I have to carry two devices with me :mad:
[HTC Sensation] johnpatcher:
Well you could try to remove the DRM from your audio books and use a standard audio player. However I suppose it's illegal here in most countries (especially here in Germany). I've found some information about removing DRM from Audible audio books here, although I haven't tried it for myself.

plzz help me....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schindler33:
Odin does not show your device as ready? Have you installed Kies and connected your phone via Kies? You have to install the SGS2 drivers, that Odin can connect. Kies can do this for you. So first install Samsung Kies, connect your phone (in order to get the right drivers).

Then close every Kies programm running (via Task Manager) becaus Kies badly interfers with Odin. Now you can put your phone in download mode and Odin shout connect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirate8:
owh...

it's means i need to install kies installer first then I can connect my phone to PC?

It's it kies have version? If have the version, which version should I used?

dont forget to kill kies from running in background BEFORE any odin attempt. Kies block odin, and can harm your phone If It does

[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Why do you need the volume so high? On my IEMs, half the max volume is as high as I'll go for regular listening. Max seems like you'd blow out your ears. If you really want to have higher volume without ruining the sound, your best option would be a portable amp.

yea i used my sisters blackberry earbuds on my atrix with volume + and man it works awsome for me idk im also on alienv4 with faux 2.0 1.3 oc kernal too
[Atrix 4G General] mandrsn1:
What kind of earbuds? Some earbuds have a very high impedance and should be driven with an amplifier. I have a pair of Etymotic ER4S earbuds that need an amplifier to drive them.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
DSP manager can increase the listening experience dramatically. Just rip it out of the cm7 beta or the blue chronic homebase update.
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
my sister has a blackberry torch it came with a set of earbuds (they are really a nice set ) i use them all the time
[Atrix 4G General] scrchngwsl:
You can get a decent headphone amp for less than $20. E.g. this one in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-E5-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B0026RJQJ6/ref=pd_rhf_shvl1

If you listen to a lot of music and use nice earphones/headphones it's definitely worth getting one of these. Just make sure you get a rechargable one cos the batteries don't last long...
[Atrix 4G General] guybanda:
i seriously think there may be something wrong with your phone or maybe your earbuds...

of all the phones ive tried the atrix has all-around the best sound and volume... its one of the reasons i ditched the SGS2 for it. really no need to go and buy an amp. try getting better earplugs or see if theres really something wrong with your phone.

Hey everyone,

Ive trawled the internet looking for a solution to my issue. A lot of people are saying that its to do with using a case, but i dont think this is the cause!

I rooted and flashed my S2. Previous to this there was no in call issue and callers could NOT hear their own voice. However, once i flashed a new rom there were complaints about the echo. I have used the Litening, Villain, Miui, Modaco, Cognition and one other that i cant remember the name of, and they all have the same issue.

So, my question is this, does anyone know what the hell i should be doing to fix this?? or should i revert back to the stock ROM? If so, how?? as the backup i made of the stock doesnt work! thanks.

Its an irish phone originally on the Vodafone network, i dont know if that makes a difference when trying to download the stock again.

I would like to thank everyone for any help they can offer me.
