[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaximinion:
Hi All,

My first post! :)

I have installed Cool3D AceS v3 (Android 2.3.5|FAST|STABLE|STOCK|CM7/r2) on My rooted HTC Desire, must mention I really like it, only thing bugging me is that I think my A2SD partiton isnt working.

I say its not working because I only have 45.51mb internal memory left and on my SD card only 13.58 GB out of a Total of 13.93gb is used (1GB not displayed as used for EXT-4 partition).

I havent installed the file a2sd.KD because i believe that A2SD is already bundelled together in the rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040121

Here are my Specs:

Recovery: RA-Desire-V2.0.1

HBOOT: AlphaRev CM7 R2

SD Card: Kingston 16gb total with Ext-4 Aligned at 1gb

Kernal: Gingercakes (that with the rom, V6 i think)

Your help would be appreciated on why my A2SD partition isn't working.

Many thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaximinion:
Hi all

I have now resolved the Low Internal Memory issue by flashing A2SD.KD after flashing the rom. Takes ages to become stable on first boot but then runs perfectly - and fluidly with Gingercakes v0.8b Kernel :)

Deems like the A2SD script included in the rom doesnt work well...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
Hi I am thinking about buying galaxy s 2 for 260 USD. The reason why its so cheap is that the homebutton is not working. And the ribbon needs to be replaced. How hard is it to replace the homwbutton flex cable?

Do u just need to seperate motherboard then put the new cable or do I need to use hair dryer and stuffs to seperate the display and all that? I do not know what the galaxy s 2 internal looks like.

I have experience opening up desire z and replacing the spring with a stronger one. So if its just removing screws and replacing cable it won't be a problem but if it requires using hair dry and seperating screen from the phone to get to the cable I probably can't...probably going to break the screen while doing it.

So any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bohs:
Hey there,

In order to replace the home button (which only costs about $8) from cnn.cn you need to remove the LCD from the shell since the button is attached to the back of the LCD. To remove the screen you need to use a heat gun and relax the adehsives holding the screen to the shell with the chrome ring and remove the screen. This is of course after disassembling the back of hte phone. It is not an easy job especially that that putting back the screen in place is going to be a problem with messed up adhesives now.

Check ifixit guide for a better look. It is for the Galaxy S US variant but you get the idea of removing the screen

I hope that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Factor in an additional $150 to replace the screen in case something goes wrong. So the cost of the phone is more like $410.

[DISCLAIMER] Images are provideded "as is", use at your own risk!

[NOTE] This project is no longer maintained!

Quite a few people seem to end up in non-bootable-states (myself included) when trying to root/app/tweak etc..

So I made a couple of images that will help you trigger Factory Restore on your Nook Simple Touch.

Compability:

Nook Simple Touch - [1.0.0], [1.0.1], [1.1.0]

Requirements:

- A microSD card of atleast 128MB of size (existing data will be lost)

- Make sure your NST is charged! A failed root will drain your NST quickly without you noticing it!

Tools:

- Windows: win32 Disk Imager

- Linux: d'uh .. dd

- Mac: diskutil and dd

Still unsure about tools?, look here

Versions:

(You only need one of these depending on how messed up your NST is. Try 0.1 first!)

- Version 0.1 [Without boot partition restoration] n2T-Recovery_0.1.rar (2MB)

- Version 0.2 [With boot partition restoration] n2T-Recovery_0.2.rar (16MB)

Usage:

- Uncompress the image

- Write the image to your mSD card with one of the tools listed above.

- Power up your Nook Touch with the mSD card inserted.

- Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

If all went well you should see the factory restore screen popping up in 10-20 seconds after reboot, and you'll be back to the version your NST was originally shipped with* when it's finished.

If it doesn't, please share your "detailed" story in this thread and feel free to PM me, I've restored quite a few "hopeless" cases :)

[*] Factory Restore doesn't wipe your /data

Update:

26.11.2012 - Added new download links

28.01.2012 - Moved files to new server

Changelog:

[0.1]

- Initial release

[0.2]

- Rewrites boot partition before triggering Factory Restore

Credits:

- Based on Nook Simple Touch 1.0.0 boot partition

- Made possible by Noogie image by nookDevs

Scary!

But good solution when everything else fails. Thanks!
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Nothing scary about it, it only writes to a single file on your N2 to trick it into believing there has been 8 missed boot attempts. :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
That is good to know, because timed things on smartphone and the like is a usual way to messy results. Try putting an iphone in DFU mode in order to jailbreak it...

Ah I see your point, but there's really no timing involved with this process.

[Nook Touch Android Development] docfreed:
Did Not Completely Restore, But...

I was able to restore by the following:

1. Tried your method on a rooted (1.00 FW) Touch but it seemed to hang on the last bit of rebooting.

2. I wrote the factory 1.01 update to an SD card using Winimage, turned the Touch off, put the SD Card in, turned the Nook on, let it go to sleep (per BN Instructions for applying update) - it woke up, applied 1.01 and unrooted simultaneously.

3. Reregistered and rerooted using ManualNooter.
[Nook Touch Android Development] wajanus:
do you have a link for the .img for the update? I only found a zip file, not sure how to use Disk Imager to put that on there.

But yeah, I'm experiencing the same issue, hangs on the reboot part.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Not sure what you guys mean by "rebooting part" can you be a little more detailed?

I have never seen or even heard of a 1.0.1 update image.

The 1.0.1 update is distributed as a zip file that has to be saved on the Nooks internal storage trough usb. This makes no sense to me.

Again this makes no sense, ManualNooter is for Nook Color ..
[Nook Touch Android Development] docfreed:
Answers -

1. By "hanging" I meant it's stuck on the last little bit of writing the restore img - never quite finishes.

2. Just go to BN site and you can download "update.zip 1.01" for the Touch - it gets applied by placing on the root of the internal memory and booting up

3. My Bad - I meant TouchNooter
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Ok, so the factory restore got triggered but didn't complete, wonder why.

Did you try to trigger restore again?

I'm gonna look into adding more advanced recovery options to the tool.

Yes I know, but you said you wrote it to sdcard with winimage, which didn't make any sense :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] mrmystery96:
The only way I can get my nook to boot into a usable environment is by way of a touchnooter bootable mSD. I managed to move the 1.0.1 update onto the NOOK patition, but I had to boot off of a noogie SD (for some reason, USB mode doesn't work when I boot off of touchnooter)to do so. Even after letting it go to sleep, it doesn't seem to recognize that there's an update. I have no clue what to do.

EDIT: Tool is a lifesaver. :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
I've replied to your PM.
[Nook Touch Android Development] dorino1:
Thanks for this img. Accidentally powered off the Nook with a core android file missing and when I turned it back on, I was stuck on a looping 5-dot start up screen. This gave me a very easy way to fix it and didn't really erase anything, either. The TN stuff was gone, but every app I'd installed myself after rooting with TouchNooter remained, as did my launcher and setup, etc.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Glad to hear it worked for you :)

I also have new version under testing that will help people with more severe problems.

mrmystery96 a few posts up had a completely broken boot partition after some app/mod tried to write its recovery there.

He got a development copy from me last night and he was able to successfully restore his Nook Touch, so I should be able to release it in a day or two.

I extract the sd, it start to restoring to original factoring... but after that my nook was like before

I would like to "unistall" android... that's all, could you help me?
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
The built in "Factory Restore" doesn't wipe everything, it just restores important parts of your system.

If you want to clean your NST you can boot it while pressing both left and right bottom buttons (it will trigger Factory Reset (not restore))

If you want your NST absolutely 100% clean, I'm sorry to say that you should have made a backup before rooting it ;)
[Nook Touch Android Development] gioranaa:
:( no back up...

do you know where I can find a clean one?

do you think it is possible to clean everyhitng unpdating to the 1.01 clean version?

I understood: I have to push the power button, THEN both left and right bottoms button, in order to reset. :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
You can't.

Every NST contains unique data so it's not possible to make a generic restore image. It is possible to make one customised to your NST tho, I've made a few of those.

No

Just press the power button until you see the screen flicker, then immediately press and hold those buttons until you see the "Factory Reset" screen, then follow the instructions on the screen.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Singuy1234:
Update and FIX!

My phone is no longer draining massive amount of batt life when idle (3-5% after 7 hours of idle), android system usage is now down to 5-15% instead of 78-97% from before.

My fixes.

1. Turn off data syncing

2. Turn off wifi while on the road (so wifi doesn't constantly look for signals).

3. Clear memory

Yes, att installs a lot of bloatware that constantly update for changes.

If killing those services AND disabling data syncing doesn't help your problem, then you have a kernel problem (like myself).

If this is the case, do the following:

1. Take phone back to att and get a replacement

OR

2. Re-flash your android with the STOCK kernel found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286432

OR

3. Reflash with cognition x2 (reported to solve a member's problem, I didn't try this myself).

NOTE** This will root your phone, you will NOT get the exclamation mark during boot up, but kernel counter may be at "1" after this process.

Re-flashing my phone AND applying the three tricks I mentioned above worked for me..finally my phone is no longer crippled with crappy battery life and recharging is A LOT faster now.

I must be going crazy but this sg2 is killing me. I got it from Att yesterday and the battery life has been pretty HORRIBLE. (First time android user btw).

The phone will eat up 10% of my batter life after only 90 mins of idle. I checked the battery usage and Android OS is at around 78%!!! How do I fix this problem? I downloaded OS monitor and didn't really see anything that uses a lot of CPU, except for certain files syncing from time to time (but 2-3% usage usually).

Checked with battery spy and apparently the majority of the time, the phone was hovering around 200mhz 70% of the time and not deep sleep.

It's sad to have only 1.5 hours of display time with a battery of 45% left (7 hours total time)...coming from an Iphone 3gs, this is just unacceptable. I almost flashed to the 2.3.5 firmware but noticed it's NOT compatible with ATT's version of SG2.

I see people who have a total time of 2 days AND a screen time with 3 hours with 30% battery left. I wish I can get half that!

Running on 2.3.4, can't be the infamous drainage bug right? Thought that only happens with the 2.3.3s

Wifi on, application sync on, GPS off, brightness at 25%, using live wallpaper (the windmill). No active apps on. Downloaded aim, epocrates, battery monitor, cpu spy, and os monitor..rest of the apps are stock.

Update

According to my CPU spy

For the past hour that the phone was in idle

2:20mins at 1200mhz

4:52mins at 1000mhz

8:33 at 800mhz

1:28 at 500mhz

10:11 at 200mhz

33:36 in deep sleep

Currently Android CPU usage is @ 97%, display time of 7mins(2%)

2h 30mins since last charge (97% charge)..current power is 79%. Did nothing but idling and checking battery life.

So...that's 30 mins out of the hour in which my idling cellphone was hacking the pentagon....

Also the cellphone is a tiny bit warm to the touch (not cold)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Deleted member 663166:
I have 35% battery life remaining and have been unplugged for nearly 11 hours. This is significantly better than what I was getting with a Thunderbolt on Verizon, where I was needing to charge after about six hours of use. 11 hours and 35% remaining isn't the best in the world, but it's only been two days. The phone needs a few days to charge and discharge to determine true battery stats and will probably get better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shadow65781:
Being that this is your first Android battery life will not seem great but let it settle in for a few days it should get better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetboy02125:
Used Nexus S, LG Thrill, Samsung Focus, Infuse, This is the best Android phone for battery. I have 40% left with normal use (emails, calls, music, read news) at the end of the day. Huraaaaa
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
If you only got the phone yesterday, its way to early to make any judgments on battery life. Battery needs at least 3-5 days to settle in and build consistent battery stats.

Also, what are you settings? Auto Brightness, Bluetooth, GPS, auto syn(exchange emal, gmail, facebook, etc). If your not using these, they should be OFF. It's easy to manually refresh email, etc.

I've seen some people reporting very high Android OS(over 50%) but still getting solid battery life.

I'm at 1hr display time, heavy texting. 72% left, been unplugged for 12hrs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
no people what this guy is talking about is the android os bug. i have it too. hopefully an upgrade or different rom will fix it. my phone has been unplugged 11 hours with only 1 1/2 hour display but android os has ran for 52 minutes and now im at 32% battery life. once this bug gets worked out the battery life will be amazing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VFO:
I don't think that there is an android OS bug. My android OS shows as being 42% with 13hrs of moderate use and I am still at 67% battery remaining. This is by far the best battery use I have ever experienced on an android device! My cappy would not even come close to this performance and this is on stock ROM and kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sledutah:
I'm very happy with mine, this was the first total drain on a new battery so I know it will only get better.

Total time: 18hr 25min

Display time: 4hr 48min

:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Singuy1234:
I think it's the system os, not the hardware. There were a few times when the battery didn't discharge itself at 7%/hour (had it idle for 3 hours and it went down like 2%).

And yes, everything is turned off except the sync app data and wifi. There's no option to turn off 4g btw. It's just weird how sometimes it's in this mode of power drainage, and then sometimes it doesn't drain much..but most of the time, it's draining.

I seriously doubt the phone can only run 2.5 hours worth of heavy usage or 12 hours of standby (it should last days!). If this is "normal" for android, then maybe I should have a visit back to att and exchange for an iphone (and I really don't to!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
that is freakin incredible. i am gonna try a restore or something im down to 28% life. 1:40 display android os 1 hour.

can you please post the cpu total time in android os so i have an idea
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I agree - as I said in the Android OS drain thread, even in "good" situations, Android OS displays way high on our systems. I think it's a reporting bug.

I dropped 2% in 5.5 hours completely idle (sitting on my shelf) last night - Android OS was at over 60%. It seems that so far for me, the higher it is, the better my battery life is.

I drop around 15-20% in 9 hours of being mostly idle at my desk at work - it's a weak-signal location so the radio eats much more battery.

One thing is that unlike first-generation GalaxyS devices and interim ones like the Infuse, the GS2 has a coulomb-counter type of battery gauge. This type of gauge sometimes needs to be calibrated with multiple charge/discharge cycles or it will misreport battery state of charge. (However, when calibrated, it's much more accurate.)

Edit: I do have some power management tweaks in the kernel I'm running, but they don't make that much off a difference except in some high-drain corner cases in my experience. I'll be releasing it sometime later this week depending on how well these antibiotics do their job. ;)
