i`d also like to get some reports prior to flashing.

here is the link to the firmware, brought to us by samfirmware

[Galaxy S II General] Coentje44:
Im using this currently, its T-Mobile Netherlands firmware with build date: October 7th
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
any thing noticeable new?

improvements, bugs, new features?

btw: Samfirmware said (via twitter) that it is for the european/international i9100
[Galaxy S II General] tietherope:
I'll wait for Intratech + non wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] Coentje44:
Nope i dont notice any differences other then the weather widget, its bigger then in the XWKI8 firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
T-Mobile firmware are in the carrier firmware thread. You're better off using the XXKI4 firmware. It's a hell of a lot better.
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
:O did you know this: TouchWiz WIdgets are resizable! Longpress and release (without moving) and you can put it into a lot of different sizes and forms :cool:
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
Not sure if the tethering is now possible on HTC Mozart after Mango update?

cheers...
[7 Mozart General] mailwl:
no, and maybe never will be
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
:)

but I saw on Titans specs that tethering is available on Titans that has Windows 7.5. then why not on current Mozart with Windows phone 7.5.

Hi,

My job has an exchange policy which has crippled my phone - in the sense that I hate having to type in a password every time I want to use it.

Is there any way to circumvent this? I was thinking maybe setting up a small Exchange server with a policy that says PIN codes are *not* acceptable ;) If not, are there other programs out there that can replace the lock?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] olavjunior:
I believe you can use another exchange email app that doesn't require this.

Or maybe a custom rom can do the trick? I'm looking for this my self at the moment, but I haven't rooted & flashed my phone yet (it seems a bit more tricky then on the Nexus One)
[Galaxy S II General] tiwas:
Thanks, but I was hoping to do it without rooting. Last time I had a hell of a time installing the official patch from Samsung...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
Hello guys,

I have a problem with battery :

Every morning, after booting, my phone was powered off over all the night, I can see my battery decreasing by 10%!!!! And I sometimes notice after few minutes that it increases itself bit by bit...

I've already did a battery calibration, but not after flashing the new Siyah' 2.0 kernel.

This is very annoying, and makes me wondering if I should recalibrate or what...???

BTW, the question is : HOW ?

Some say you have first delete batterstats, power off, then full charge.

Others say you have to power off, full charge, manually delete batterstats.bin, or use Battery Calibration App.

What is the f*** best way to calibrate our battery ?

I'm really pissed off loosing 10% battery with my phone powered off every morning...

Regards.

Using Revolution 2.7.1 ROM with SiyahKernel v2.0
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
This might just be the ramblings of a mad man, but I have been thinking lots lately about battery calibration on the sgs2.

Normally on most android phones the power off charge is completely independent from the rom so that if you charge when powered off you know it is really a full charge, not controlled by pre-logged battery stats, you can then wipe the stats and get a better idea of what "full" is when you are powered on.

On the SGS2 the charge when powered off is still controlled by the rom (see the app "no moar powah" for an example of this), therefore it may still be under the control of the same battery stats so may not indeed charge any more than what the rom thinks is full when you are powered on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
Wow, thanks for your explanation...

But, it makes me perplexed. If you're alright, you mean that battery calibration doesn't work on S2 ?!

So, in this case, how to solve my problem ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
the best thing you can try is to run the battery flat, charge while off, wipe battery stats anyway and hope for the best.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
Will try it again ....

Maybe should I flash another rom after full wipe, or stick to a stock one.

I can't imagine that my battery is defected yet !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
Maybe this could help :

Just after full charging, use Battery Calibration App, and notice it didn't delete Batterystats.bin in data/system... I've always use it and never pay attention... (maybe error with SU permission ?)

Very strange, so this time I delete it manually.

Maybe, it'll calibrate my battery well this time.

Wait n see.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boonyard:
Weirdly, I noticed that yesterday! I don't think it works on all roms, I'm definitely going to do it manually from now on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
My first current conclusion :

The best way to calibrate your f*** battery is definitely to do it manually.

Just delete batterystats.bin in data/system, after full charging (with Rootexplorer or another app)

Then, use it until to 90%, and full charging.

That's all ATM.

Why ?

Because, I've just noticed that Battery Calibration App doesn't always delete this file. Ya, sometimes, It works, but sometimes It sucks. I don't know why, but seems to be related to some SU version and permissions' bugs...

Hope it could help some of you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boonyard:
Is that the same as doing it through Clockworkmod advanced/wipe battery stats?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
It is normally the same thing, I prefer IMO to do it manually.

Just trust yourself :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiteboard10:
Hi guys i've recently rooted my phone for the first time (all worked fine) and flashed the latest Android Revolution ROM. It installed fine however it seems to have wiped my phone eg i've lost all texts, apps, contacts etc. I backed up my sd card to ROM manager before i did the root however it isn't seeing the data.

Is there any way to retrieve this data, or is it all lost?

I've read countless pages in the Android Revolution HD thread, no-one else seems to have this problem...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris.daf:
You would have needed to backup all your apps, texts etc with specific backup apps, such as Titanium Backup and SMS Backup & Restore.

Your contacts should be backed up onto Google's servers, and should appear when you sign your Google account back in
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saluco:
i didnt realy understand how yu backed up your data???? cause you coldnt have done a nandroid Backup before you were rooted

second

you didnt?? export your contacts to SD card??

what and how yu backed up to SD card
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris.daf:
I'm sure he meant he did it before he flashed a new ROM
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiteboard10:
Hey guys, sorry, to clarify i backed my sd card up before i flashed the ROM. I've managed to recover most of it. And i'm actually a she, which probably explains a lot...

Most confusing is that the android market on my phone is only showing about 1/4 of the apps i've previously downloaded for some reason. So i'm having to redownload everything and it's not combining with the backed up sd card app data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunt3r.j2:
The Market is buggy and annoying like this. Go to market.android.com, log into your phone, push all the apps listed in Titanium Backup that you want to restore via the market, which will usually be under the list of applications you already bought/installed on the top right corner of the website.

From there ONLY restore data for the applications to restore the application settings and such.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saluco:
pretty much you got your answer from Hunter

do not rely on market for backing up,...invest few moneys in Titanium Back up and my Back up pro , trust me , is Well invested money

and most important...now that you are rooted learn to use the recovery and always do a NANDROID backup ( this backups internal phone CARD on your SD card )

things that were on your phone and you didnt back them up on your SD card are Lost

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fludizz:
Does anyone know a widget that can one-click enable a configured VPN? All widgets I can find only enable VPN's configured in the program itself instead of the VPN's configured on the system, usually those applications also don't support OpenVPN.

The closest I can find (on CM7.1 and the market) is adding a settings-widget that opens the VPN settings. This allready reduces the amount of clicks to two.

Is it technically even possible to make a widget for this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakan1911:
this app

maybe help you quickvpn (market search)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fludizz:
QuickVPN does not have a one-click widget for my homescreen and doesn't use the internal VPN settings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayxearl:
Have you tried "1 VPN"?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.doenter.onevpn
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fludizz:
1-VPN is the same story... It uses it's own sources for VPN rather then the android VPN settings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMcConnell:
It isn't possible using the Android SDK, but some manufacturers expose it using their own SDKs (according to this).

It's something I'd like to support with Awesome Widgets, but it might be hard to support all phones satisfactorily. I guess a fallback would be to show the settings if it wasn't possible with a particular phone

All the best,

Ash
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fludizz:
Wouldn't it be less of an issue when using a custom rom? (I use CM7.1 on my Desire Z)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMcConnell:
Yeah, if you have root access it's probably not too difficult (with a bit of java reflection), but I don't think the majority of users will know anything about custom roms or root access.

They'll feel conned when it doesn't work on their standard device, something I'd like to avoid :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marksmithbvs:
I think quick vpn client can help you in this. or else you can check android market for some sort of widgets. I haven't tried it but i am looking to get best paid vpn service and free vpn service for htc chacha...?

Ever since I flashed froyo on my phone I have had problems with my weather ticker. It hasn't been updating/refreshing like it should. Also when I click the icon on my ticker it no longer opens weather bug anyone know why?
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
If your running ec07. Try the GPS fix.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1260189
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
Well, It wasn't working when I used EC03, and yesterday I switched to EC07. Still isn't working. I'm hesitant to try the GPS Fix because it's a shot in the dark if it would work and it's going to take a quite a bit of time for me to figure out ADB.

Any other suggestions? :/
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
Copy and paste GPS. Conf with root explorer in folder that the adb command says in post. Then reboot. Make sure to mount r/w in folder pasting to. (Button on top in root explr)
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
I don't have Root Explorer, and it's $3.99 in the market, is there any other explorer that I can use?

[Continuum General] 696kris969:

[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
Ah thank you. I copied the gsp.config over, lets see if it works....

EDIT: Nope, a no go on the weather ticker. I can't even open it.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Are you on a stock ROM or one of the manymodded ROMs? the only reason it wouldn't open would be if someone deleted the app :P or if your ticker is forever "locked"which I have seen before....
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
I'm using Nuckins ROM. I don't think the ticker is locked, because I can still open my Text messages via the ticker bar. Just the weather thingymabobber won't come up, and the only way I can refresh it is by manually going into the weather ticker settings and clicking Refresh. It doesn't even seem to refresh automatically every 3 hours, like it is set to do.

I'm not sure if Nuckin's ROM has deleted the app or not, but if it has how can I get it back? ALSO... Before this ROM I was using THIS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203597 ROM by pastorbennett and the weather ticker OPENED but wasn't updating with it.
[Continuum General] asellite:
I know at one point on an older flash I was using TI and deleted some essential apps for the entire ticker section without knowing it. They're have very vague names. Reflashing would definitely fix the issue, if that's something you're willing to do.
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
Reflashing what? I've already experimented with 2 different ROMS. First time I had EC03/pastorbennetts ROM and this time I have EC07/Nuckin's ROM.... problems with both and the weather ticker. However, slightly different problems. With EC03 I could open the weatherbug app by clicking on the weather icon, but I couldn't refresh it not even manually. This time, with EC07 I can refresh it manually but that's about it. I can't open the Weatherbug app and I don't think it's refreshing on its own either. (Although it could be, I'm just having a hard time telling since I can't open the APP and see what time it updated.)

Plus, I've reflashed both of those more than once with the same issue.

EDIT: Unless you mean to reflash stock, then flash the ROM?

EDIT2: I think I've already reflashed stop after this anyway....

EDIT3: Well, I tried to manually go into my applications and open Weatherbug and it's giving a Force Close Error. >.< I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, same issue.
[Continuum General] asellite:
Best advice I could give is to go into <2e> then open CwM (red seems to work nicely) wipe cache wipe data factory reset then reflash the EC07_clean! This ROM fixed most problems for me and its a simple quick flash. Then you can update to whatever ROM you've been wanting to use. The entire ticker-stuffs has worked flawlessly for me on the EC07 clean so I recommend that. It was a problem I was having too since rooting my i400.
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
Okay so now that my phone is unbricked, haha... I'm having my lovely WB ticker problem again. Except this time, the program opens when I click the ticker BUT I can't refresh it manually with the refresh icon. Any idea why or how it can be fixed? lol
[Continuum General] asellite:
Funny, I just started having the problem where the ticker icon doesn't open the app.
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
Did you flash a new rom?
[Continuum General] asellite:
Think I deleted something... -.- I'll reflash later...
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
I thought I fixed it, but alas, I did not. >.< WB stop haunting meeeeee.
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
Anyone have any other suggestions? I assume thee is no way to have the ticker use another app either?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
I can very easily, (well... Pretty easily, haha.... :P) make the ticker use another app, haha...
[Continuum General] Jaidynne:
Like another weather app thar can do about the same thing? I'm oddly attached to my weather
[Continuum General] logan302:
Title

I use beautiful widgets...if TB101 can link to ticker icon I am back in.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Thing is: I can link to opening up the app, yes, but not reading the refresh commands... They aren't linked in that way, just opening the app up!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ellis90009:
Nice

Awesome Found that there is also another way you can use the same method from the original root instructions.

adb push yourhbootfilenamehere /data/local/

adb shell

dd if=/data/local/yourhbootfilenamehere of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Then just put the stock image on your sd card and use

adb reboot bootloader

and flash your stock firmware

Hope this helps anyone looking for a slightly quicker way
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MkVsTheWorld:
Not sure if this is a problem but...

After I un-rooted last night and ran the 2.11.605.5 RUU, I now get a bright pink message at the bootloader saying *** LOCKED ***. Anyways, the device now states S-ON and I am running stock. Is the LOCKED message something to be concerned about?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ellis90009:
no the locked message is just something new they put into it some people think it means they might put it in the list of officially unlockable devices soon check it out here htcdev.com/bootloader
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
while i dont know that youll save any time doing it this way, this is certainly anotehr way to skin the cat if you have adb set up,and are fairly savy at using it,as there are alot of small details youre leaving out.

also i need to add a couple of things:

1)you will need to reboot your phone between

dd if=/data/local/yourhbootfilenamehere of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

and

adb reboot bootloader

as,rebooting imediately to bootloader will take you back to the revolutionary one. the new hboot is written on reboot.

2)

be extremely careful with this.

if you choose to flash a stock hboot rather than the engineering one,you risk a security warning if you flash the wrong hboot overtop of the wrong custom firmware. youll then be stuck with an s-on hboot and only be able to run newer RUUs to try and fix it.

if you really want to use this method,the safest way would be to run the RUU first. youll have to get a temp root shell(zergRush prolly will work),then run the command to replace the hboot that matches the firmware that you flashed.

as was said,this is just the new hboot. it does contain htcdev unlocksupport. thos that doesnt neccessarily mean they will ever give us a key ;) not that it matters anyway,htcs "official unlock"only unlocks system,boot,and recovery,and is still an s-on hboot. better than nothing i guess,but since we have revolutionary and other root methods,theres no advantage to using the official unlock fomr htc.
