[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimvanduijne:
hey guys,

i bought a secondhand galaxy s II yesterday. when i first got it, it had MIUI on it.

i personally hate this so i went to flashing straight away. first a lot of research on the differences with Desire HD and Hero but when i had enough confidence the party could start!

what i did is try to flash exynos 7.0 through CWM 4.0. this didn't work because the volume keys don't work!! so eventually i flashed it using ROM manager and this worked it finally started flashing! but now i forgot to flash exynos 3.5 base system file first and went straight to exynos v7.0.zip

and now i'm stuck in bootloop but can't get in to download mode... because of the volume keys.

is there anything known about disabling volume keys or that people disconnect them because they press them all the time.

or is there a software way of forcing it into download mode (I am aware of the JIG way but looks to sketchy to me right now and i don't know if it works for S II!)

many thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
have you tried odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamsean:
I'm not an expert, but it seems to me you need repair the volume keys... I can't imagen there being a option to disable the volume keys on your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
no there isnt...best thing is to take it back to the person he got it from and get his money back i say
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimvanduijne:
how can i try odin without volDown/download mode? is this possible? if so tell me how! :)

i am not going to take it back because i knew from the beginning there should be something wrong with it.

i thought it was because it had MIUI on it. it's a long story so lets skip it okay.

my question is does the 301k resistor trick work with sgs II???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
Are you remembering to hold in the home button aswell as the power and volume buttons?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimvanduijne:
yes i am, but as i said earlier the volume buttons don't work :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
if you knew there was a problem with it why did you buy it? sorry that just does not make any sense...you need to get the volume keys repaired..thats the only solution i can think of..sorry
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Search USB jig and use that to try to get into download mode or take it to a service centre your only choices .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimvanduijne:
because it was a lot cheaper! and the guy told me he bought it from someone else and there wasn't a original fw on it and it said that there was no sim card in the phone....but i knew this was because of miui together with unlocking your sim card too early! so i figured lets buy this thing and save some money! but now it seems that the volume keys are not working....but if you don't know you sh*t will you stay out of it please. the next guy told me to look for a JIG this sounds more promising doesn't it? i'm going to make one and we'll see what makes any sense.

i'm sorry if you feel insulted that's not my intention but i feel you are not bein very helpfull here. again sorry i am getting a bit frustrated from this whole thing i thought the S II wasn't give me a hard time because of the unlocked bootloader and such.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
if you thought i was having a go then i apologise. but i was not..even if you do use a jig to fix it you will still have problems with the volume buttons. Hence why i said to either take it to the guy you got it from or take it back to samsung..Im not trying to make fun out of your pain bud, i actually want to help.

Use the jig stick the stock firmware on it and send it to them and say its yours. dont say you got it from a friend cause im not sure but they properly would not fix it under the warranty.

hope everything goes ok and keep us updated:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamsean:
My last phone (hd2) had a broken volume button also. I brought it to a local phone repair company and they fixed it in a hour for 35 euro, so I think there is still hope for your phone :)

Hi All

Been searching but cant seem to find anything.

Since forcing the update via zune i have found the battery life to be appalling. Doesnt even last a day without charging. Im using the same apps and same or less usage.

Befor the mango update (nodo) I was getting nearly two days before completly draining the battery...now i will be lucky to get 9 hours!

anyone else experience such issues...seriously thinking of going back to no do.
[7 Mozart General] dhavalhirdhav:
I have been beta user of Mango and recently updated to Mango.. and no I dont have that problem. Mine works same as earlier.
[7 Mozart General] majkeljj:
In my Mozart, mango drain battery much more then pre-NODO version:( even with sync set to manual, data connection off, wifi off, 3g off, location off, BT off and it drains more then 5% per 5hours during my sleep :P pre-nodo almost nothing.
[7 Mozart General] amowolves:
well ive tried setting the sync to every 15mins as oppossed to as it arrives..so lets see if that helps...but it definately drains more than nodo on the same settings....i wonder if more is going on in the background than we can see...
[7 Mozart General] lancerevo2007:
I have the same issue- my first charge lasted 11 hours and i was sleeping for 7 of those hours...
[7 Mozart General] amowolves:
well so far ive been going for 6hours and its on 70% so hopefully the sync timing may have resolved the issue somewhat...its saying 10hrs or so left...so thats a bit better than what has been doing since the update.
[7 Mozart General] illi:
Charging my Mozart direct to a power point takes a shorter time to charge than charging through USB:confused:
[7 Mozart General] dingodog:
As long as im not playing games all day my mozart seems to last all day if i charge it from about 12am till 7am when i get up for work.
[7 Mozart General] feygor:
can't say i've got this issue, i've updated to official Mango RTM and i find the battery is about the same. Wifi on all day, one push email account and about 1 hour worth of phone calls, some internet browsing, it's still over 50%
[7 Mozart General] amowolves:
well i think the sync issue sorted it. after setting it to check every 15mins it held its charge all day. disconnected it at 8.30am and come 9pm it still said it had 50% battery left.

so all in all much better than the past few days where it would go into battery save mode by 5pm.
[7 Mozart General] majkeljj:
I made hard reset on Mango and after that I feel battery life is a little better.
[7 Mozart General] xlapatsas4000:
Battery is steal strong !
[7 Mozart General] majkeljj:
for me the bigest battery consumer is data connection, when I turn it off battery live is a little bit better
[7 Mozart General] orouborus:
based on my experience, my battery was definitely longer after the mango update. with nodo my battery cant last that long.
[7 Mozart General] illi:
I just flashed to nhathoa's 5.01 ROM.

This is a problem I faced even before the ROM flash. Whenever I power down the device and connect it to the USB to charge, the device will wake up by itself. It seems there is no way to charge the battery while power is off:confused:
[7 Mozart General] amowolves:
well ive been running the phone now for a few days using the new setting and all seems to be well...i can get away without charging my phone for 24hrs if need be so thats much better than the original 8hrs or so.
[7 Mozart General] bechevin@mail.ru:
Maybe I mean...

GPS is allways on ...radio driver bug

SPL issue ?
[7 Mozart General] orouborus:
is turning the battery saver always on bad for the phone? other than of course no push etc. i am just wondering if it will have an adverse effect on your battery if i always want to squeeze every drop of my battery.
[7 Mozart General] Jadro21:
I have tried many different ROMs and I am supposed to say, that it is different with every ROM... Finally I bought Mugen Power battery 1800 mAh. Standard battery wasn't able to last one day (12 hours). Now it is OK :)
[7 Mozart General] Jadro21:
Another thing... :) This ROM helped with battery... After flashing it, I have a longer battery life...

hi guys...

as the title says i'm back to WM6.5 Energy ROM build 21916.

and i have some questions:

1. is there a way of changing the DPI like in android? in android i changed it via build.prop file so is there something like that in WM registry?

2. i need a good browser that has FULL flash support and multi touch i can't find one :(

3. can i play 720p videos? if so with what player?

4. can i smoehow make the HD2 use only HSDPA network (3G Only mode)?

5. how can i force the auto rotation to acutally work in all programs?

tnx for the helpers....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Move:
1. is there a way of changing the DPI like in android? in android i changed it via build.prop file so is there something like that in WM registry?

I don't think there is

2. i need a good browser that has FULL flash support and multi touch i can't find one

I don't think there's any browser with full flash support on WinMo, if you find one let me know

3. can i play 720p videos? if so with what player?

yes, on the video player provided with the phone, Core player, and there was a free player available here but can't remember it's name right now

4. can i smoehow make the HD2 use only HSDPA network (3G Only mode)?

on T-Mo, no. I'm not sure if you can use 3G only on EU, but there's a 3G button you can add to the connection manager, I'm not sure if it makes it 3g/2g or just 3G, I don't have 3G so never tried it.

5. how can i force the auto rotation to acutally work in all programs?

using plenty of apps available:

BSB tweaks, Touch tools, etc. but note that not all programs support rotation.

Good morning!!!

Recently I have made a backup of my current Kuyadroid ROM with xrecovery. Everything went smooth. Now when I try to restore my backup it says MD5 mismatch...

Any clues?

Thanks in advance...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
Im not sure but i think that since kuyadroid installs throw cwm, so you should do your backup throw cwm too....
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4puk:
Actually Kuyadroid is flashed through xRecovery. Worked for me.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wc_how:
Maybe the file is corrupts :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4puk:
I guess it is the most logical explanation. Or maybe my sdcard is messing.;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
Maybe, try delete this file.from sdcard and put it again it worked for me when i were have the same problem
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4puk:
I will try that. Thanks for the advice.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1989:
acctually it dont matter what recovery you use x or cwm they will restore backups properly. listen mount your phone to pc go to sdcard save all other roms to your desktop but leave the backup of the named rom. then go back into recovery and restore and it will work 100% its because you have to many backups on your sdcard at this time
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megatpanji:
Mayb dont space your filename...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XtremePeople:
MD5 mismatch is wrong filename try to rename last backup and dont space ok:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4puk:
Ok. I will try to rename file in the evening and try again to restore.

I will inform if i succeeded...;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1989:
are some people stupid :S DO NOT rename the file you will corrupt it and will make it not flashable. you get MD5 missmatch when you have to many backups on your sdcard NOT wrong file name if that was the case it would state wrong file. please do NOT comment and tell him to do something which will destroy his backup only post if you can contribute and help not **** it up even more!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4puk:
I removed all other ROMs and backups from my SDcard. Then I tried to restore once again and again I got Md5 mismatch. To tell you the truth I only once managed to restore my system and it was Stock Eclair. If I remeber correctly I was on Kuyadroid ROM at that time when I rebooted to xRecovery and restored. The backup was made while on Kuyadroid as well.

I would really like to make it work somehow, because what is the point in making backups if i cannot restore them.:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1989:
okay. take everything off the sdcard apart from the recovery and backup folder and leave just the kuyadroid backup inside then reflash the recovery then do it then it will work okay if not pm me and ill help u further mate
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4puk:
Ok. I deleted all the backups in the xRecovery and backup folder. Then I made a new backup of my current GDX v017 ROM and it is actually restoring now. I don't know whether it is going to restore my system later on. But at least I made some progress.

Restore complete.

I will try to restore my ROM in two days and notify whether I succeeded or not.

Thanks for all the help.:)

Ok. Restoring works now. I still managed to brick my phone with flashing Gingerxperia V8. Now I repaired it with PCC and restored my GDX version.

Thanks again for all the help!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthredskin:
Hi everyone. I'm kinda new. I've rooted devices in the past and jailbroken other non android devices. I've read the tutorials, they were either very vague or didn't work at at all.

I purchased a refurb NC from B&N. It came with 1.2 but auto updated to 1.3. I've tried burning an the 1gb clockwork image to my sdcard and the manual nooter zip file straight to the root of my sdcard and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Can someone help guide me in the right direction?

Thanks :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markusrow:
Try this link Re-Root 1.3 You should get help on this thread.

You will need to follow links from the above to yet other instructions on creating ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) SDHC cards.

One thing to remember is that most Rooted Nooks came via 1.2, so read the posts with this in the back of you mind. It may not be an issue, but I have not checked.

Also be aware that the majority of the threads relate to CM7 which has nothing to do with Rooting your B&N 1.3 Nook Color. These folks are completely replacing the Operating System with a different one. One or two threads about Kernels may apply equally to both B&N 1.3 and CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthredskin:
I'm also using my ancient G1 phone as the sdcard reader via usb. Would that possibly be the problem?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markusrow:
Not sure, I am not highly technical in this area. However why not use your NookColor as the SD card reader and writer?

Also look at Supernooter on this thread It may well be superceeded, but that is where I started when I was on 1.2.

OR

Look at this thread, it may be more relevant.

Thank you so much, I did use the nook as the sd card reader and it worked like a charm. I never thought of that for some reason. But once again thanks!

hello my phone is on firmware 2.3.4, baseband i9000xxjvs, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000xxjvr and build gingerbread.xxjvr.

i want to update to 2.3.5 completely but is this possible without losing all settings?

when the update is done through kies you don't lose anything so is this also possible with odin or is there another way of doing it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faria:
No as far as i know, you could flash a no-wipe version of the rom via cwm, but i would not recommend it.

The other solution is to backup and restore with Titanium backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinx02:
backup and restore with titanium backup is the best thing..

but as 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 differs not really you can search for a CWM-Version of 2.3.5 without wipe, than youre settings will stay. Via odin afaik its not possible to flash a non-wipe ROM..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
I have done this without repartition JVQ->JVR, via Odin, and it worked.

Of course, it was: stock to stock, odexed to odexed, another combi may not work.

And, although I agree with you that titanium is the best, for some apps I experienced fc after restore, so I had to restore, uninstall, install and then make backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uppon2:
Hello. You would assume that the native resolution for 1 x home screen page would be the exact same size as a lock screen wallpaper at 480 x 800 right? WRONG!

I have tried to use Gallery, Quickpic, Just pictures all without success

I believe that due to the nature of having multiple home screens (active or not) Samsung have somehow managed to make it impossible to set the correct resolution for a 1 page wallpaper.

With Quickpic it will simply not allow you to select the whole image

With Gallery it does the same but gives you the option to save it as portrait or landscape both of which do not work

Just pictures is giving me the same result

If you don't believe me try it for yourself. Make sure you select an image that is filled with content, not just a small icon in the middle with a bunch of blank space around it.

It's seriously annoying me and makes no sense as to why the native resolution is NOT WORKING! and not even allowing you to select the whole of the image to be used as a home screen wallpaper. But if you use that exact same image and set it as a lock screen wallpaper it works PERFECTLY

I have so far tried these sizes but still not getting anywhere

480 x 480

900 x 900

480 x 800

960 x 800

960 x 960
