Hi all :cool:

I run XXKI3 2.3.5 on my samsung galaxy S2, I am wondering if there is a tried and tested way of Overclocking this at all. I have seen some write-ups that say I need to roll back to 2.3.3 so as to use the overclock essentials with Odin. I am not very much keen on rolling back to 2.3.3 as 2.3.5 is really cool. Any help and advice is welcome

Didnt you try a Custom Kernal?? Stock kernel may be sometimes not support.. Me also had some problems like this on my X10 Mini Pro. I flashed a custom kernel and now Overclocked From 600MHz to 768Mhz. Working smooothly..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dunnanga:
I have flashed the stock kernel but when I use galaxy s2 overclocking essentials my phone won't fully reboot so I have reverted back cf-root. XXkI3 just wont work with the stipulated files for overclocking essentials. I really want to overclock my SGS2.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:

Hi,

Sorry if this has been answered already but I did search the forum and couldn't find an answer.

So 2 days ago I got into flashing my Sam GS2, I followed the instructions completely, I made a NAND backup of my current ROM.

I used ROM manager to install Cyanogen nightly ROM build 75, which I liked a lot but the camera didn't work and realised after it was a test build, so decided to go back to my current ROM. I went into CWM recovery and restored, within 5 mins I was back to like nothing happened.

I then download VillanROM 3.0, again a few bugs so I decided install TK ROM 3.6 I never restored to backup this time as I thought that wasn't necessary, but when I now restore my backup through CWM I get my settings but not my data?

Why is this? The backup file is still there and the same size as before, have I done something wrong?

The reason why I restored was after finding that TK ROM was a stable ROM I forgot to back up my GO SMS settings and Smart keyboard pro settings so I wanted to back up to SD card, re-install the apps and then just restore the settings, now it looks like I won't be able too.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance. :o

[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Me for one fails to understand the problem .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] maverick1103:
Well short version.

I did a NAND backup so I could go back to original ROM just incase things went pair shaped, I managed to restore to it after first flash, then on the 3rd time after realising that I forgot to back up certain app settings, I restored the NAND it does it reboots but only with settings and nothing else.

Can you help?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
A failed nandroid restore looks to be a corrupt backup .

[Galaxy S II General] maverick1103:
Well I thought as much, thought I was doing something wrong.

Just have make sure I do 2 backups next time.

What are the boot loader files? (boot.bin and sbl.bin)

What do they actually do?

Are there any positives of having boot loader files?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackyx007:
In simple terms, a bootloader is the code that runs on a device before the os

starts up. Every time you start your phone the bootloader is telling your device what to do in order to get you to the home screen.

This process is vitally important

On our device, no

All roms use the same bootloader although there are updated bootloaders in some roms, but it wont be much of a difference

What is the best way to backup my phone- through WIFI- to my computer?

I do a titanium Backup, and i set up drop box, but it fails 30 times (even of the preferences failsafe drop box setting) so i have to keep restarting it.

I could just plug my phone in and copy the titanium backup folder.

But

Is there a way of backing up the 'titanium backup folder or ' the whole phone' via my WIFI, either on a click to do it or a scheduled task?

Any suggestions welcome?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sledutah:

Hey mate, I've been using a chinese program called Android PC Suite by pandaapps - here is the link: http://91.pandaapp.com/pcsuite/

You can set the language to english by opening the file menu (big droid) and then selecting the third option and switching to english. Once you install it and then connect your phone it installs its client APK on your phone - which allows you to connect via WIFI. In the client app it will be in chinese - but choose the last option in its menu (it has a PC icon on it) and then it will give you the WIFI code for tethering to your PC - enter this in your PC and you're away. You're then able to do a host of things with it - like backups, access calls, sms, calllogs, bookmarks - copy stuff on and off the mem card etc. Try it and let me know if it works for you. Its what I use, I haven't come across anything else like it so far - maybe someone can enlighten us further
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kame_boy:
I've bought and tried almost everything trying to find a solution to the same problem. I now use an app called FolderSync.

https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full

This app is supports (copied from link above):

☆ Amazon S3 Simple Storage Service

☆ Dropbox

☆ SugarSync

☆ NetDocuments

☆ Box.net (webdavs)

☆ LiveDrive (WebDAV / FTP)

☆ HiDrive (WebDAV / FTP)

☆ FTP

☆ FTPS (SSL / TLS implicita)

☆ FTPES (SSL / TLS explicit)

☆ SFTP (SSH File Transfer)

☆ Samba / CIFS / Windows-shares

☆ Ubuntu One

☆ WebDAV

☆ webdavs (HTTPS)

With this app you can set up a folder-pair, one on your computer/cloud service and one on your phone, then let it either mirror the folders, "upload to" or "download from" the remote folder. Works perfectly. With the free version you can only have one folderpair, which could be enough for your purpose.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] markus13:
Hi folks,

from time to time I forget to plug my X5 to the power connector in the evening.

Result: At 3am the phone plays the sound meaning the battery is low and that it will switch off now.

First an foremost my wife shows zero tolerance, when my phone wakens her up in the middle of the night ;-/

How can I switch off this behavior of the phone?

If somebody has a way without rooting the phone, this would be favored. If there is only a way with rooting the phone, let me know, too.

Thanks,

Markus
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
The root way

The root way is to delete lowbattery sound from /system/media/ui.

This can be done with root explorer or adb. I dont know the adb but with root explorer you just go there and delete the file.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] markus13:
Solved

Hi there,

I think I solved it without rooting.

1) Switch X5 off

2) Connect X5 to linux computer.

3) Switch X5 on while pressing Vol + and -

4) X5 has pink screen an linux mounts several file systems.

5) Go to Linux-Mount-Dir/system/media/audio/notifications/ and replace TaDa.ogg with some stereo ogg file which contains only silence.

6) Remove the batter yof the X5.

I did 1 to 5 again and my TaDa.ogg was still there. So I guess my change was permanent.

Bye,

Markus
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Good to know you got it without rooting. And i was even stupid enought to give you a wrong directory...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gridwang:
can I edit the alert rather than remove it?

hi, this is pretty much the only issue I have with my phone but I'm reluctant to just replace the alert with silence, it is useful to know my battery is close to death! :) hopefully someone can help!

the battery alert sound uses the media volume rather than the ringtone volume, so I can have the phone set to silent and it will still go off full volume in the middle of the night.

does anyone know of a way of changing the volume type the alert uses?

I imagine there is a file specifying the volume type the alert uses and hopefully its just a case of changing something along the lines of 'volume type = media' to 'volume type = ringtone' so when I have the phone on silent, it will stay that way :)

my phone uses:

kernal: 2.6.32.9-perfhuawei@huaweisrv04-desktop #1

build: U8800V100R001C00B135SP01

customer version: CUSTC240D001

I have it rooted so editing isn't a problem, I just don't know what to edit!

thanks in advance for all help!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watoy:
Hello, I have an HTC thunderbolt, rooted with CM7, and installed setcpu and used autodetect and I put the CPU govern to "conservative" with minimum GHz 245 and maximum 1.8GHz and I am just wondering if this is safe? because I read some threads about Compatible kernels and I jave no idea what that means, they were also talkimg about undervolting, which agaim I do not know means, anyways thanks for reading
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
If your device will run reliably at 1.8GHz, then there's not much to worry about as long as the voltage isn't too high. High voltages and heat can shorten the SoC's life or kill it altogether. Generally, I don't recommend running that fast because the performance increase isn't as great from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz as it is from 1.41GHz to 1.6GHz. These cores weren't meant to run any faster than 1.5GHz really, and anything past that doesn't increase the performance as much as the numbers might suggest.

Also, a conservative governor probably isn't ideal if you're willing to run a device that fast. That governor would seldom, if ever, use that kind of speed. I'd suggest smartass, smartassV2, ondemand, or interactive if you're looking to see a good boost in performance.

If you're looking for an app to view and adjust voltages, IncrediControl works well. For all the nitty-gritty of overclocking, I'd recommend reading my OC guide. It's in the "Second Post" of my Q&A thread. If you've got any questions, feel free to hit me up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boggus:
So does over clocking just speed things up? What are the real benefits
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I look at it like this. My screen eats up most of my battery. The less time it's on, the better. Overclocking uses more power for the CPU, but the display spends less time telling you it's waiting. It doesn't really add functionality, just speed and efficiency.

hey guys,

was running stock froyo, rooted, with speedmod kernel as per my signature.

today i upgraded FW via kies to GB so now running KG3, 2.3.3 kernel sj0829.kwon@sep-08#2

seem to have lost root (which i was expecting) though superuser icon still in app list. bigger concern - seem to have lost 3BR mode!! still have 3 button download mode though.

Was going to flash the speedmod kernel to my phone but don't want to try anything til i can get some advice on:

1. anyone know why i lost 3BR and if there's any way to get it back?

2. is it safe to flash speedmod kernel (or other kernel for root) withOUT 3BR given that i still have download mode ie. how will i access recovery to enable tweaks/root etc once it is flashed??

Thanks for any advice!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
been trawling through forum threads and the net for hours with no answers - has anyone else had kies disable 3BR before?? it seems weird that i had it before upgrade and now don't.

very tempted to flash speedmod for GB - can anyone please advise if they know: the CWM recovery that comes with it - will this enable my 3BR again once flashed or at least provide some way of getting into recovery mode so i can tweak and root my phone again?

... or would i be better off trying a custom ROM??

EDIT: much thanks to lgssheddon for his advice and helpful links - htis edit mainly just in case anyone else has this same issue after a Kies upgrade. the 3BR is not lost, just changed in how to get it - now it is only 2 buttons: the

centre

of the VOL up/down + POWER button

Can't bloody believe I could not find this fact anywhere until it was pointed out in another thread! D'oh!
