Great!

Thanks for the info.

I'd rather play a game on a PC than on a tablet, but GTA III... Let's hope the port is ok.

Full wipe before and after the installation of the ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldbugbee:

1. i rooted the phone

2. installed xRecovery

3.boot in to xrecovery

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwenguer:
Using thumb keyboard right now but had same issue in better keyboard and regular GB as well.

Randomly my touches become inaccurate or a specific character will not input on screen when I push it. If I back out of the txt screen or wherever I'm writing and go back in, it usually works fine again. Using ShiftAosp 2.7. Happens regardless of kernel.

Is there a screen calibration type app or a fix for this?

Under settings>display or keyboard settings I dont have the calibration option. Maybe that's a sense thing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stratejaket:
I'm running a Sense based rom. I can go to: Menu > Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch input > Text input > Calibration tool

Just wondered if you went far enough into the menus. I'm not familiar with AOSP roms and the major differences yet.

Does anyone knows how to make Bootloader? :confused:

Can someone post a tutorial on how to make one and a step-by-step procedure and how to make it as part of the package to replace current bootloader.

This is Thor Revolver bootloader, I just edited it and added the last image and the Philippine Flag image below is what I want as my new Bootloader; glowing gradually until it loads completely.

That's not a bootloader, that's a boot animation. The two are TOTALLY different.

I am qualified for an upgrade with AT&T and I'm considering the SGS2 but I want to keep my original phone and data plan. I have the unlimited data plan and 200 text for an extra $5.

Has anyone been able to keep their original plan and upgrade their phones with AT&T? If so were there any hassles involved and what steps did you have to go through to get it done?

Thanks.
[General Topics] MEG4LOM4NI4C:
Hmmmmm, most the time whenever u "upgrade" any telecomunications contract (i.e. cable, internet, mobile...) they require u to sign a new contract(unless theres some kind of grandfather clause). so since the one your currently under is no longer available i dont see it being very easy for u to keep your current plan without a bunch of fuss. best bet to keep the current plan is just pay for a new device outright. sure the initial price is hard to swallow but think of all the free data you would be missing out on.:D:D:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boardindude:
Ok, I have a rooted Tab 10.1, made the stupid mistake of downloading a small (about 3mb) system update that came up. Now when I power it on, it shows the Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen, then goes blank and stays that way. Also, when I try to go into download mode or enter recovery, it blinks on for a split second and then trys to reboot. I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. Can anyone please help? I'm linking 2 videos of what it does when powering on and goin into download mode.

When you're going into download mode, it looks like your holding the power AND volume button. Try releasing the power button when it shows the SGT10.1 logo and see if it works then.

[LG Optimus 2x] jamesalfred:
Hi all,

Today I just realized that when I phoned my friend, my O2X screen didn't turn off automatically when I'm putting it near my head. So, I went to LG Hidden Menu, and found out that, under ALC / Proximity Test, my proximity sensor says "No Data"

Now, I'm wondering if this is hardware or software related. Because as far as I know, it worked before in both the original ROM and custom ROM (MoDaCo FR 19 Fear edition).

Programs that I've installed that might affect the sensor (since they need root) are listed:

-WidgetLocker

-LauncherPro

-SwitchPro

-GetRIL

-Market Enabler

-ROM Manager (least possible?)

-Root Explorer

-Tasker

-DroidWall

I wonder if there's anyone else with the same issue? I know, I should probably wipe out my device. But that's my last option :(:(:(

Any kind of help will be appreciated, thanks....
[LG Optimus 2x] gkostadinov:
I think this is a software related problem.

I had a problem like that with the gyroscope before. Sometimes it worked, sometimes didn't. I realized that this was not a hardware problem when I changed the ROM (wiped all data).

So, why don't you try this:

Make a NAND backup of your current ROM.

After that wipe data/cache/dalvik and install a different ROM and see if the proximity sensor works.

If it does, restore your previous ROM - it is not a hardware-related problem.

If it doesn't, sorry mate. Bad luck. Take it in for repair.
[LG Optimus 2x] jamesalfred:
Thanks for the reply. I guess the only way is too wipe it eh....
[LG Optimus 2x] jamesalfred:
Ok, I just wiped out my phone (because I just got the time today :/). The proximity sensor is enabled now, but won't respond to anything. It says 1.0[FAR] every time. No matter how close I put my palm into the sensor.... Gonna try to rip off the screen protector later....

Hey guys....now that our device is finally rooted will we get an o/c kernel??

It has the same cpu/gpu as xperia active/ray/arc which have an o/c kernel available if you want to flash it so wouldn't be fairly easy to have one for our device as well?

If i'm not wrong we only need the cpu frequency and voltages settings to be put on the kernel of you phone,right?

Please correct me if i'm wrong! :)

Im a tmo customer desperately trying to get rid of this g2x. Problem is tmo wants to charge me $540 for the phone, and my upgrade is nowhere near due. Is there ANY way I could somehow get this phone from tmo for the contract price ? any loop holes or something ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
any chance you can cancel your current contract? or transfer it to some body else in your family/friends perhaps?

then open a new contract new phone number, and get the SGS2

then swap the SIM card, and you are done ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jburnette87:
Not really. Otherwise everyone would do this every 6 months. Just sell the g2x and buy the gs2. You can get up to like 275 or so depending on condition. Subtract that from the retail of the gs2 and it's basically the same. Plus you can get them to split the payments up on your bill.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twoeleven99:
i was on the phone asking a rep about the split payments and she denied that they even do that. I always sells my phones on craigslist to upgrade, did it with the hero, evo, galaxy 1, g2x...but craigsloist is FLOODED with people selling the g2x i didnt post on it thinking i wouldnt be able to sell mine since there are so many postings. But thanks looks like i will have to just go the normal route. Thanks for the info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jburnette87:
She lied. I've done that with a bb9700,hd2 on contract,g2. They split it into 4 payments. The first you pay upfront with all sales tax included. So say 529+tax youd pay 132 or so plus the tax on 529 today. Then starting on your December bill, you'll have an extra 132 added to your bill the next 3 cycles. Essentially,your first payment delays a month of it being on your bill.

Also depends on credit I assume.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jburnette87:
Sell it on the marketplace here if you don't want to deal with CL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twoeleven99:
thanks again dude. I will give tmo another call and try to purchase it today on payment plan, then in the meantime i will try and get rid of my g2x. thanks again. My friends told me it was possible also so i dont know what the hell that tmo rep was talking about
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jburnette87:
Check your acct on mytmobile. Somewhere on there it shows your credit limit. Act like your doing an upgrade, it's there somewhere. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jorge18:
My rep told me I can split it between 15 payments, if I'm not mistaken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jburnette87:
Yeah. Depends how you buy it I think. There's one way you can pay like 20/month. I've never done that though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
if you terminate your contract then theres early termination fees so that dont do you any good also.just put it on e-bay
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Heltic:
You can only split you equipment into payments if you are on a value plan were you do not get and discount on the phone. They did away with it once value plans came out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twoeleven99:
you guys are swesome with the helpful info but what he said is right. I just spoke to a rep. She gave me the number to customer loyalty and told me they can offer me things cuzstomer service cat, so im going to try my luck and if not i'll just patiently wait until i sell this g2x. Thanks again guys
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zaventh:
Just rob somebody if you have to. The G2X is that bad. I am very extremely happy with this device coming from a G2X. I will never buy an LG product of and kind again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] princeasi:
Ditto to this! I mean, the features offered on the g2x are 2nd to none, but the execution of these features are horrendous. LG beat me on that purchase, but surely lg and me will not be transacting again in the near future! I'm digging this sgs2 tho!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bighulk666:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
Hi there. I am getting a bit obsessive about my battery life. I am currently losing about 1% an hour at idle which I know is pretty good but I want to get better!

Anyway, using BetterBatteryStats I noticed that Event Log Service (Google Services) is causing a fair amount of wakelock. I have searched the threads but did not see a solution. Is anyone else having this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Do you currently have your phone set to 'Back Up My Data' in Settings > Privacy? I found this to produce a good bit of partial wake locks for me. Not sure if that's what you're seeing in BBS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Hmm, I'll check this out tonight.

I think that simply having Google sync services enabled will cause drain to go up a reasonable amount, as it keeps everything in sync. Unfortunately AT&T doesn't help by having a rather short TCP idle timeout - I don't have the link for the article on that with me at the moment.

Usually some Google sync service or another is at the top of my wakelocks when idle. It went WAY up in some situations on the Infuse in weak-signal situations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
@Kadin, I tried turning off Backup in the Privacy settings and it had no affect.

@entropy, I hear ya about the Google sync thing but I know there are a lot of people with android phones whose Event Log Service wake lock is very low in terms of total time. I guess I will try and turn off Google sync and see what happens but frankly, doing this will take away a big chunk of the usefulness for me. I will report back to see what happens to the wake locks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SpectraDawn:
I also use Google Sync and I also noticed that this event was running for 1h22m which is a long time in my opinion. I would like to only use google sync for mail and calendar updates, is there a way to set it to sync on a timely manner?

I also have Managewakelock: partial UID, that has been running fro 2h35m. Anyone know what this is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gin66:
You could e.g. use Tasker for turning AutoSync on/off depending on your choice.

For example sync once per hour for 5 minutes, or sync when connected to charger, or if Wifi coverage is available.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gin66:
I am too fighting the Event Log Service and get a bit frustrated. This Android wakelock voodoo is IMHO just bad designed. There is no elegant way in finding the origin of the wakelock in many cases. Alarms come close to Voodooism. My phone (Atrix, CM7.1 - sorry for the crosspost) wastes a lot of battery with Event Log Service and Alarm Manager. "dumpsys alarm" is not helpful at all and if i like to get rid of Event Log Service, then Tasker, Titanium Backup and Abbyy Bizcard reader will stop working, as they miraculously need that lib (e.g. via vending). And why Event Log Service keeps quite often the phone awake without any trace of logging in e.g. logcat. So I assume, the phone likes to dial home - ET like - and does not give up on this - ET iike, too.

Revoking the permission of a wakelock to avoid the Event Log Service wakelock leads to nice Force Closes :-)

My current solution is to move all google apps in /system,/data into a freeze folder and reboot the phone. But as other programs stop working, it is no good solution at all. So the battle continues....

Curious, if someone with extraordinary analytical power could break the voodoo and give a good explanation for the Event Log Service battery hogging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I wish I could help but can only commiserate. Last night Event Log Service only accounted for 5s of wakelocks (379 times). The other night, it was well over 1 hour! So I have no idea either what is causing this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] saridnour:
Im begining to wonder if its a frozen app that is causing an issue and the log is being written to in turn? Anyone have a good way to view the log that the events is written to? May point in a better direction. I unfroze most of my serives to see if that makes any difference in the mean time.

Same situation. Charged my phone 100% before i went to bed...unplugged it and i noticed it had over an hour in the wakelock. Never got out of deepsleep though so i was a little confused. after 10 hours i was still at 97%

With tibu freeze gtalk. See if that resolves issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Trying now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Froze Google talk and it appears that the issue still persists. With each passing percentage of battery lost, the Android OS creeps up on the display percentage drain.

Right now I'm at 93% battery with display at 39% usage. Android OS is at 28%. I'm guessing that by the time I reach 85% battery remaining, Android OS will have passed up display for the majority usage of the battery.

Edit

Just checked CPU spy and the phone is definitely going into deep sleep. I haven't checked wake locks with BBS but if the phone is deep sleeping, I'm not sure that it matters. I wonder what is causing this!?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KonaZXIII:
The images are from before I found this thread. I wish I had some Better Battery Stats info to go with this but I can attest to CPU Spy having a lot of deep sleep action on the meter when I peeked at it at one point.

This is about 2 days into installing UnNamed with the included Entropy DD.

I kept all radios off as much as possible (for the sake of seeing how far I can stretch the battery life)...there is some Wi-Fi usage sprinkled in there over the 30+ hours of life. I didn't even bother to conserve on screen brightness during that time.

I haven't modified anything major since then so if info can be gleaned from what's different on my phone vs others ask and just let me know what to look for (as I'm no dev).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
The Google talk thing may have worked.

Been playing gta3 for the past hour now and the numbers are looking more like they should be. They are:

Total battery: 56%

Display 45%

Gta3: 23%

Android OS: 12%

Android system: 8%

Cell standby: 4%

Media server(?): 3%

Phone idle: 2%

Web: 2%

Usually it would be like 45% Android OS and 35% Display. And the phone would be hot randomly and lose massive amounts of battery randomly as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwc3:
If I uninstall Talk, my Market crashes. Why is gtalk so embedded into this phone? I can freeze it, but not uninstall or I will face crashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
OK so let me try to explain what just happened.

I had 15% battery life remaining so I decided to put my phone down and leave it alone. I had zero apps running as I checked it right before setting it down. My percentages where this when i set it down:

Display: 37%

Gta3: 29%

Android OS: 10%

The rest were 3% or under

So the phone just sat there all by itself for about 25 minutes when I heard it make a low battery tone. I looked and i had only 5% remaining. I was like WTF 10% in 25 minutes? I immediately went into the battery tracking percentages and hit refresh. The ONLY thing that moved was Android OS, it went from 10% to 24%. Nothing else moved. I don't know what the hell is causing this, especially now that Google talk is frozen. I think im just going to go in airplane mode all day tomorrow to see it it fixes it. If not then I'm blaming TouchWiz and am gonna run an unfinished cm9 Alpha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
you looked at BBS? obviously something is keeping it from deep sleeping and then some it would seem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
The phone is deep sleeping though. CPU spy says so.
