***UPDATE***

So switched it on, running a KF3 base with KE7 modem....

Now need to upgrade to some villainrom magic :) lets get my phone back :D

Don't you love a happy ending?

lol

***OLD UPDATE***

So a quick update to you guys who have been oh so supportive!

Just received a brand new SGS2 this morning replaced without questions from o2...

Now im giving it its first charge so haven't switched it on yet but a bit disappointed i lost all my old stuff

Anyways, will post more details as and when to see how the later batch measures up against the first...should be interesting :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My GS2 was one of the best around...bought on release day it experienced rooting since birth and has run villainrom since with not even the slightest of slight hiccups! Battery life was always measured in days rather than hours and never experienced any of the "banding" "yellow tint" or "random reboots" many people have faced....i loved my phone....and now its dead

Was in the cinema watching a film, got my phone out at the end and nothing.

nada

not even a blink from the BLN

The phone wasn't overly hot in any way (though it did smell like liquorice) and I thought, "ahh, deep sleep issue, undervolting too much!!"

Battery out, battery in, switch on!

Nope

Battery dead?

Got home to stick it on AC

Nothing

My heart died :(

Frantic searches over the net reminded me of the jig i bought

Stuck that up its arse...

Nothing

Not even a peep

Tried numerous button combinations to no avail...

Finally bit the bullet and sent it in for repair

Complete with custom boot (bios animation), custom rom(VR3.0), custom kernel (Ninphet 2.0.5), custom theme (JKay + various tweaks)

I doubt they will be able to bring it back to life to see that it was rooted, even if they do I would pay for the repair, but yeah....that's life :'(

My GS2

04/05/11 - 14/10/11

Obituary over

If you guys would like to share experiences with dead GS2's and how you overcame your loss feel free

Just needed to get this off my chest and the wife doesn't understand how we get so attached to £400 worth of shiny bits n plastic

:)
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
Your wife broke it. She thought you spent too much time with the device and too little with her :P

Have you tried the jig? ok i see you have... thats errrr, give some news about the fix
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
Holy ****.I'm really sorry for your loss.There was another guy the other day whose GS2 fried.I'm really starting to feel afraid,my phone runs at 1.6GHz. :eek:

Anyway,your post is kinda hilarious btw.I almost felt your pain at "Nothing

Not even a peep"

but sticking the jig up its arse?Nice one. :D
[Galaxy S II General] skaif:
thanks for the support guys in this time of great pain and need, will keep this updated as and when I hear anything! :)
[Galaxy S II General] mshfar:
O.O oh my, I should worry now. Lately my phone been shutting down without me knowing about it.

So far it booted every time that happened "thank god"

Hope urs gets fixed :)
[Galaxy S II General] raidenuk:
I feel your pain I drop My SGS2 And chipped the edge of the screen, I was pissed for days
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
You stuck the jig up her arse? No wonder she broke your phone bro... ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] rasinell:
Lmfao :-) :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Siberian Tiger:
I feel your pain bro!!

That's how i felt when i bought SGS1 and tried to root it with z4root.

It was stuck at the z4root screen obtaining root for about 1 hour :eek: and as a

noob then it didn't cross my mind to pull the battery out afraid of something

wrong will happen.I was ready to throw it to the garbage.

Thank god someone helped me and my sgs1 still lives :D

You guys made me laugh with those posts.God blesh you!!!

I hope the best for you:)
[Galaxy S II General] Xerovius:
have you tried another battery?
[Galaxy S II General] rocky23:
+1 abut another battery....sorry m8 for ur loss...thts y i neva go for those oc settings,jus use the way it is,anyways keep updating...:)

[Galaxy S II General] Vulpix:
My microSD card died 2 days ago. Brought it to Samsung and got the mainboard replaced, now it's working like a doll. :D
[Galaxy S II General] cashisback:
This makes you think about how something can just die in a instant, we need to treasure every moment we have with our GS2s. RIP

;)
[Galaxy S II General] wali01x:
i know i feel the pain of phones dying on you. i had my xperia x10 and one of the best phones i loved. i started facing reboots & random shutdown and freezing issues. i tried to do my best to hold myself then 1 day it didn't wanna work with me and wouldn't turn on so i got angry and smashed the SOB down to the ground and guess what?? nothing broke no lcd digitizer no screen no nothing but had no pulse. i took it to its hospital (wireless repair shop), they tried to jumpstart its heart pushing to his chest (motherboard) with pumps and kept saying CLEAR, CLEAR :|. still didn't work and i knew it died on me. i was upset but then this new hot chick (sgs2) came around the block and i was like whoaa this chick is hott and has all the new fashion trends. finally got it and now we're dating (sgs2) and me. obiviously my wife is jealous but she's happy also :D. anyways thats my story from transition from x10 to sgs2..ENJOY
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
I dropped my iPhone in the toilet one time while I was watching YouTube haha. Classic
[Galaxy S II General] Shujitzu:
You guys are so funny.. sorry for your loss though:D
[Galaxy S II General] skaif:
haha, you guys are making this bearable and for that i thank you :)

Tried a new battery while at the o2 shop but to no avail :(

Im kinda pissed about the internal sd tho, cuz i couldnt access it i will most probs lose all my titanium backups and that hurts like a ***** :'(

My advice? backup everything...now...before no amount of ass-jiggin can wake her up...:p
[Galaxy S II General] TheFaixy:
sad bro real sad R.I.P
[Galaxy S II General] skaif:
also, +1 to messing with clock settings

I only ever underclocked and undervolted to keep the cpu safe and to be honest I never really noticed amazing battery advantages, scheduling bln to work only when not at work also helped but other than that i used to get 2 days with 4-5hrs screen on time....

If i get a replacement im gna be pissed if its one with problems :@
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
sorry to hear that mate.

my own GS2 after 4 months is the best it ever was, blazing fast and very smooth;)
[Galaxy S II General] Odiumvex:
Musta been the 2.05 kernel...there is a reason for progress no matter how you feel about it.
[Galaxy S II General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
So these phones just die like that?

I've got off the nin kernel a long time ago and have been using Siyah for a while.

Hope I'm not next. *knock on wood*
[Galaxy S II General] maverick1103:
That's what my missus says!

Women just don't understand tech like we do!
[Galaxy S II General] MacaronyMax:
RIP, I'm sorry for your loss, That's a really upsetting story :'( ;)

Hope it comes back from the doctors (aka samsung repair) working though :p
[Galaxy S II General] cooza:
Dude,my heart bleeds for you:(.I had a near death situation myself.Was on Villain with Ninpho and had an overheat that caused the phone to not only shut down but factory reset also.It was so so freakin hot around the camera frame im surprised the sensor still works.Pulled the battery and 20min later stuck it back in.Since then I changed to CF-Root kernels and Ive never had heating probs like I did with ninpho.
[Galaxy S II General] MS.:
Guys, what's wrong with Nimphetamine 2.0.5 kernel? I use it for over two months. Should i get rid of it? o_O
[Galaxy S II General] cooza:
Nimpho kernels are over volted as far as im aware and designed for under/overclocking.When i was using them i had heating problems on most but the 2.0.5 was the one that nearly melted my phone and caused the factory reset and random heating bursts of upto 55·c for no reason at all.
[Galaxy S II General] kidau:
deepest condolences, I feel ur pain

had the same occurrence happened to me, but on my Macbook pro.... one day it just died for no reason T_T
[Galaxy S II General] pcboyy:
maybe your phone is trying to tell you something. It died few days after Steve Jobs passed away.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
No that's just steve jobs exacting revenge for the iPhone.
[Galaxy S II General] Broomfundel:
I feel your pain.

I just got my SGS2 back from repair last weekend. After dropping in to water and frying the electronics. Not quite the iphone down the tiolet, but... When it came back it was wiped (inc Int Sd)and had screwyfirmware that Kies would not update. Fortunately for me, I had moved my Titanium directory to my ext Sd and had my old phone (also an android) to rip liscence files etc.. back from for the Internal stuff. Only lost a few photos etc.. overall. Phew..

But for quite a few weeks, I was stuck with my old phone. The Samsung Galaxy I7500. 128 MB RAM with a blistering 528 MHz ARM 5 cpu. Complete with Cupcake. :( It was horrible. But mine is back, same nicks on the outside and working like new. It had Ligtning 1.3 when it went in and they didnt comment.

So I really do feel you pain, but it might work out.

Good luck
[Galaxy S II General] :
well if it helps to ease the pain i was texting while having a dump...mum shouts to me to hurry up and get ready for dinner...as i was getting up of the toilet to wipe my tooshy my iphone 4 dropped in the toilet and you could hear the bashing on each side of the dumpster and well you can imagine the rest......that was the end of an era with my iphone and iOS and a new beginning with GS2 and never looked back....(you can see were the iphone belongs anyway, if you get the joke)

sorry to hear about your loss buddy..next time don't stick the jig up the arse...naughty boi
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
You mean when you were watching actually Youporn in the WC? :D :D

Classic.
[Galaxy S II General] Albadros:
1,6 !! I use SetCPU : max 1,0 GHz and it's already enough ^^
[Galaxy S II General] renegade1488:
Oh god the i7500 was my first android phone, it used to randomly turn itself off and the only way I'd find it out was by taking it out my pocket and finding it wasn't on. I feel sorry for the poor sap I sold it too :D

My gs2 went in for repair today, the samsung service centre said the motherboard needed replacing. Only problem is I'm going to Australia for two months on Friday so I'm not gonna see my beloved phone for a long time, unless I can get a family member to post it to me out there!

The first question the service centre guy asked me was: "Have you rooted it?" "No way, I don't want to mess around with a £500 phone," I replied, thinking to myself "thank god for that jig!" :cool:

Using my mum's old Nokia E52 is painful, having not used a phone without a touchscreen for 2 and a half years now! I'd forgotten just how frustrating s60 is.
[Galaxy S II General] rachnov55:
if it couldn't be turned on, then they won't find out that you had a custom rom on it :P

here's my experience, as well as a few others who have sent in their GS2 for repairs having rooted before (custom rom counter > 0). As long as they do not discover it before you sign it over to them for repair, they have to honor the warranty. ie. any condition that voids warranty, has to be discovered in your presence. so don't turn it off/on in their presence when you try to explain something to them :P
[Galaxy S II General] skaif:
thanks for the stories guys, keep em coming!! got the text today from the o2 repair shop saying its arrived! Start of the journey for the repair now....also, found out my sd has a copy of my TB, although its a few months old, it still has the majority of my apps so all is not lost :)

I am upset about the many random things and settings i had downloaded and grown used to but i spose a fresh start is always good

The phone wasnt switching on at all so Im hoping that they wont know about the custom rometc!! As for my current phone, Samsung E1120 anyone?

Nope me neither, but 5 days a single charge! MADNESS! LOL
[Galaxy S II General] :
ahhh the good old classic phones...miss those days...anyone remember the baby ericsson phone? now that was a crazy sexy flip phone..shame they dont make flip phones no more...

fingers crossed that they can sort out the problem with the handset...mind you if they send you a new one back thats a bonus right?
[Galaxy S II General] tazsob:
Ha ha ha ha that's made me laugh as my girl says my s2 is my new girl too...

Sorry for your loss bro hope it get sorted for you

Taz..
[Galaxy S II General] chadouming:
I know your pain, i had something similar. Made my own custom kernel and flashed it when i had almost no battery. I saw it was not working but i didn't cared about and let the battery empty. When i plugged it back, it wasn't charging anymore. Seems like LPM was not working, so the phone was rebooting as soon it was starting to charge, eating the lefting battery and rebooting right after. Got locked in this loop for about a day. My world stopped for a day xD. Borrowed a battery from a friend and flashed a working kernel, but it was still not charging with my battery :( ( My theory is that my battery was so low that it hadn't have enough juice to start the phone and load the charging state ( It's also why phone stop between 1 and 0 % )) Finnaly, with my friend battery on, got my phone in power off charging and swapped my battery with the one inside. Hotswap xD. the charging battery icon changed soon to add a small triangle on bottom saying something wrong has happenned, but it still kept charging ^^. So I have it back now. I also killed my SGS I doing the same thing and i had to pay 150$ to telus to get it back in working state. (Good thing is that i had a big scratch on the phone and they changed it xD ).
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
Hahah easily one of the best comments I've ever seen on xda!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] mohdizwan:
So sad..rip..smile..
[Galaxy S II General] pachi72:
This is the reason why I don't put custom roms and over clock phones. Sorry for your lose.
[Galaxy S II General] technetium99m:
I'm pretty sure that ninphetamine kernels are at stock voltage unless you manually change it with setcpu. Why you would want to overvolt a device as powerful as the sgs 2 is another matter entirely... Mine is running at a slight undervolt.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] skaif:
guys js so u knw, my kernel was not overclocked or overvolted.....it was the opposite, underclocked and undervolted, not by extremes, jus slight...it still went bust so make of that what you will

i for one will be leaving kernels alone!
[Galaxy S II General] novanove1:
Man this Story of your is painful

I know it would have brain fcked U at tht time

Great work mate...thank you very much:D
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Wohoo even more :)

thank you very much for those awesome themes!

Regarding 4ext update in case you missed it:

You can now set transparency for any colours. And set the colour for the selector bar.

If you grab the apk update you can now use it to setup your colours and transparency options and export that into a 4ext.prop for your theme zips ;)
[HTC Sensation] darkshinning:
said it before and I will not tire your recovery is amazing, thanks for the work you do, that is priceless.

Sorry for my google english xD

I don't Wait for Sunday for create new themes xD

New theme Beats by Dr.Dre, Enjoy.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Well, what happenes is that after 4-5 minutes of the phone booting it just freezes and I have to battery pull.

What I did to my CM7:

No overclocking

Restored/moved apps to the SD

Market 3.2.0

I'm guessing it's something to do with the apps, because a fresh build doesn't freeze.

Log cat from boot to freeze:

http://pastebin.com/456npP8S

Please help :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
How are you moving the apps to sd?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
I just TB for batch move.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
I ain't never tried it that way have you tried with dta2sd or that app from the market? Can't remember the name of it though ill just go check.........
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
oh, just to clarify I'm not using DarkTremor or anything like that, I'm not moving apps to sd-ext.

Just stock android SD card move.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Ahhh get you.

Errrmmmm not sure then mate its been a long time since i didn't use an external partition. I had some strange rebooting happening to me the other day though and the only way i could fix it was by flashing a safe ruu then reinstalling cm7 everything worked fine then.

Not telling you to do that though because your problem is caused by something else, maybe if you try narrowing it down by not batch moving and shifting them one by one you might find the culprit.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
I am suspecting the batch move to fizzle something up.

I'll try wiping and reflashing and then moving manualy.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Not restore, I think using TI's Move to SD option is messing something up. Make sure App moving is enabled in CM Settings, and try using the Settings interface itself to move apps to SDCard rather than TI Backup
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Will try that.

Phone's at bootanimation atm.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Still going on.

It may be that an app doesn't like being on the sd card...

I'll try moving apps 1by1 with 5 minute intervals :/
[LG Optimus 3D] ToeBall:
So my Optimus 3D had a fall and broke the glass. After some choice words, I managed to get a new glass, and the phone worked in the mean time. I took the phone apart, and replaced the glass. After putting everything back together, it seems I missed something since my screen won't come on. Everything seems to work. It does the screen tap sounds, vibrates, all that good stuff, just no display. I've taken it apart a couple more times, trying to track down what I missed, unsuccessfully. So, I give up. Does anyone know of a good place I can send my phone to have it fixed? There are a few local places, but they don't give me warm and fuzzy feelings about skill level.
[LG Optimus 3D] Benz-Driver:
Do you have pics of the open Optimus 3D?

[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
I had a similar problem when I dismantled and put together Iphone 3gs, at the end it turned out the LCD was a gone, once I ordered a new lcd screen the phone started working again, I would use a good magnifying glass to look at the links where the lcd links up to the motherboard to see if there is any damage. Found one on ebay, looking at where the cable is, are you sure you are attaching the cable properly to the motherboard? that could be your problem. Good Luck hope you find a fix
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Firstly, I dont know does this thread lies in the right section or not, but i hope i'm getting it in the right place.

Back to the title, i think many of us complaining why doesn't Sony include 16M color to the gorgeous 4-inch screen we have. According to what i know, the only way to differentiate screen with or without 16M color is to see the ugly color gradient when viewing a saturated/colorful background or picture. So i made several comparison to some other devices i can get, i found that actually we do achieved 16M on our screen, and i think this is(or maybe not) the reason why X10 has a capped fps.

At this moment, i'm cropping some picture to show you my prove. Please be patient and tell me what you think. =)

Pics are coming!

Edit: Or to be more precise, even if we REALLY dont have the 16M screen, i have to admit that Sony really made a great tweak at the screen. [Dithered?]

Pictures are here:

Specification for all the device i used:

LG Optimus One, aka P500 on stock rom, maximum brightness, representing typical 256k screen

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i, maximum brightness

HTC Incredible S on stock rom, maximum brightness, representing typical 16M screen

This is the close up shot.

Upper 2 is the cropped version from the original wallpaper i use. The tweaked version is purposely adjusted to match what we will see if it were on a LCD Screen. Notice the color gradient on the P500 and the smoothness of color we have is quite near to incredible s.

this picture is purposely saved in PNG format to prevent color lost when converting file format.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Hahahaha what? No I can assure you we don't.

Go use a screen you know is 16m colors then come back...
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Dont worry, i do made a comparison. =)
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I don't care what you think, im using a 16m now.

I can guarantee you that it isn't..

This kind of misinformation is hilarious
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Anyway, can you actually tell me how to differentiate a screen with or without 16M color? i hope that what i know is correct. We only can compare the color gradient is it?
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Just post ur comparison shots
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
i don't think SE will tell us we are not using 16M if we actually is.

though i really don't think there's any obvious different with or without 16M.
[XPERIA X10 General] yugiyao:
op quickly upload ur prove...only picture will tell
