[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
So the question is how to do a complete factory reset of the S2 in cases were some of the original files have got corrupted or deleted.

If the factory files are corrupt on the device you will need new firmware .

Factory = the last firmware to be flashed .Restore copy is whats flashe d on wipe and factory reset .Factory reset returns to last flashed firmware NOT original firmware that came with the phone out of the box .

If you follow my post above then you end up with an empty phone with a clean sd card .

Flashing either original firmware or Stock Samsung firmware via Odin as the next step .

Simple as recovery /format /Odin /flash.

O.O does flashing a new rom break some part of the phone like the wifi in this case ?

And I thought bricking the phone is the least I should care about =.="
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerobahn:
That's because a stock rom might not come with a stock kernel.

Your problem sounds like a kernel problem, not necessarily a ROM problem. My suggestion is to wipe /system, /data, /cache, and then install a fresh CM7 nightly. These come with ROM AND Kernel. If your wifi works in CM7 then you know for sure your phone isn't damaged. If wifi still doesn't work, you may have to return your phone.

But there is apps which allows you to make your phonespeaker louder, don't recommend doing it though. You can manually configure it by going into a menu (from dailer) using a code-combo (forgot which one atm).

Try "Motion & Sound Alarm" which is a paid app.

Or "Sheriff Lite: AntiTamper Alarm", its free, but slightly annoying and keeps asking you to buy the full version.

Both work pretty well, I tried them and am gonna use em to scare my friends :D

O by the way, both these apps let you set only a volume level and not a specific dB level...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SPEEDHAMMER:
to summarise what has been already said, you should go for an SD build if you want to dual boot between WM/WP7. Its also a good choice if you like safe and easy installation. However, the SD builds are slightly slower compared to NAND builds and booting time is significantly slower as well. That said, if you want to trade-off the benefits of the SD build with the performance boost of the NAND build, you should flash the NAND build. It all depends on what you want on your phone. My advice however,is that if you want CM builds, the performance difference is little between SD and NAND builds. However, if you want a Sense build, NAND will be noticeably faster and better.
[HTC EVO 3D] hallion:
Can someone tell me what´s the difference between CDMA ROMs and GMS ROMs. I have GSM Evo 3D. For CDMA there are many of ROMs but for GSM not. Why CDMA has a lot of possibilities like overclocking etc. and GSM not?
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
There are more CDMA roms simply because more people own a CDMA version, thus more people will develop roms for the CDMA version.

But the GSM version is getting some good attention lately, with a lot of new roms being developed at the moment.

You can overclock the CDMA version because HTC released the source code for the kernel.

They have not yet released the GSM kernel source code, so the GSM version can not yet be overclocked.

There are many differences between CDMA and GSM roms, so it requires quite a bit of work to port from one side to another.
[HTC EVO 3D] hallion:
Thanks

Thank you very much for explanation :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] darkblooded:
Can't I port cdma ROM to my gsm EVO 3d and after that install gsm kernel and network drivers separately, there will be any problems?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Interesting concept .. Android is more similar to Linux than to windows in the sense that drivers are really just loaded up as needed but more so compiled into the kernel, although perhaps loaded through modules ..

Either way, the Android framework itself seems to be geared specifically on each device to support a certain type of radio, at least from what I've seen developers post. I.e. Android is either programmed/setup to expect and communicate with a CDMA radio or a GSM radio.

Of course, this could definitely appear as a short coming for anybody wishing to swap ROMs on the fly. I would hope, in the future, a ROM could provide dual support for both CDMA/GSM along with the kernel also providing dual support.

Although, on the contrary most people don't own a CDMA and a GSM version of the same device so they wouldn't be swapping their ROMs back and forth very often.

Hopefully some of that information is helpful!

[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
I'm aware that not many of you are looking into specific threads in Accessories section so I'm putting my problem also here. I will be grateful for any help.

I bought 2x Chichitec batteries for Evo3D (this is probably the same Chichitec product as for Sensation).

I put in Chichitec battery (the phone showed about 59%), I discharged it till the phone switched off (noticed slightly better life than stock). Then I plug in charger and charged the phone for about 8 hours (much longer than charging to 100%). Then I unplugged, went to Recovery and deleted battery stats. Now the phone started to discharging much QUICKER than on stock battery! In about 14 hours of practically zero use, the battery went down to 8% and... it was on 8% for 7 hours! When the phone finally switched off I charged it again for 8 hours, unplugged and again, the battery life is very weak - 20% in 6 hours of idle (I was sleeping).

I haven't installed anything or turned on any setting, which could cause more draining.

Did I do something wrong? It appears that it has much worse life than stock battery and suddenly it works for several hours at the same % level... What can I do to make the phone show correct battery % level? Or is this Chichitec battery poor?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] birdtail:
Hi All,

First off I apologize for my layman terms and my ignorance. I am a brand new Samsung Galaxy SII user. I have a plan with AT&T and mine is stock- My girlfriend is who has the problem, therefor I am asking for her.

She unlocked her Samsung Galaxy SII herself and is on an in-state cell provider. She has rooted her phone and encountered some problems... Calls not being heard, bottom touch buttons not working, etc. So currently we are working on getting it back to the stock i777 (it's on a 9100 and upgraded to 2.3.5) in hopes of returning it.

I downloaded Odin onto my computer in an attempt to help her. I downloaded the rooted system package because she wanted to keep her root, and I downloaded the Modem thingy to help with the calls not working. I thought I could just extract these and put them into Odin, but it's not doing anything :/ It recognizes them but starts to load up and then stays where it's at, and everything is the same.

I'm frustrated because Im a complete noob to all of this. I am used to iPhones and iPhone terms, and I am familiar with jailbreaking them. But things like Kernel, pit, modem, etc are all foreign words to me, so I am having trouble picking the right words to search for in the box.

Is there anyone that can lend a complete moron some help? I dont even know where to start. I'd love to get this fixed for my girl.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Flashing to i9100 ROMs are to the blame for all her issues. International versions are not compatible firmware and hardware wise with AT&T version. You will get button issue and call issues.

The problem you have is probably due to a newer boot loader being updated to the phone and it is refusing anything other than the i9100 ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Bootloaders don't do anything like that.

My suspicion is that it's some sort of driver problem. Beyond that, I don't know - I've never flashed from Windows before.

She shouldn't need to return her phone. Running an I9100 ROM and modem is known to cause ALL of the issues she's having.

Does her device have working Clockworkmod Recovery? If so, try flashing Cognition X2 from the development forums here. Make sure it's X2, not S2 - S2 is for the I9100. Cognition X2 is intended for our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] birdtail:
Thank you both for your replies so far! I am going to try the Cognition X2 and see how that works.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetmaster:
There are thousands of threads on XDA-Developers about the decade old WiFi issue but I need some advice on something different (a tiny bit!)

Lets overview the issue everyone remembers by heart first!:

> The WiFi disconnects after a couple of minutes and then keeps on disconnecting;

> This has been identified as a security issue caused by WPA or WPA2; turn the security off and it would pass this stage;

> Obviously turning off security isn't what you a good idea but just for the safe of experimenting, it works!;

> Then arrives the issue of 'Obtaining IP address'; a simple 'Static IP' passes this stage too;

> Then there is the most frustrating issue off no data transfers while the WiFi is connected; the WifiFixer from 'Market' makes it bearable;

> And then you can use the internet but it makes you think you are in the 90's!

With over a month of research searching through nearly every forum on web, I've seen a pattern of this issue arriving on just a few N-based routers (maybe ones with draft-N speeds but not sure!)

I use a D-Link DSL-2740 ADSL + Wireless-N combo.

The issue is also in majority with Netgears and D-Links and well.

My question is simple; is there a proper workaround for this issue (only if you've got it worked; NO suggestions)?

And if there are no issues with your S2, which router do you use and do you use the 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz frequency?

I have a reason to believe that the Linksys E4200 should work brilliantly with it but the only Wireless device I use at my home is my S2 and using just one S2 on E4200 is insulting it but if anyone can confirm it; I'll buy it!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakoob_cz:
Just a hint from me...

As I see it, nowadays most routers are really badly made, even Cisco with his Linksys routers did some really ****ty models. I had Asus WL-500W (first draft-N) and with stock firmware it was a nightmare.

After some tests (I work as IT editor), I recommend to people, who expect from router something "more" and uptime for at least one year, to buy models supported by community and flash the stock (often beta) firmware.

For example for my Asus I'm using firmware based on Oleg's firmware (http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/) and from that time everything is alright and uptime maybe several years, if there wasn't some electricity turndowns.
