[EVO 4G General] Matt -- HB Cali:
I'm getting ready to sell my rooted EVO and am currently running TN's stock EVO 4G, TN edition. I was debating changing to a more stock looking/acting ROM, but this one is pretty close and is very fast and stable. Battery life could be a little better but I think that's always an issue with these phones.

Does anyone have any opinion or other suggestions for a ROM that might be more appealing to someone who's going to be buying off of eBay?

Also, are there any other steps I should take before selling the phone? I've never sold a rooted phone before so I want to make sure the purchaser doesn't have any problems activating it. It'll have a good ESN of course.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] fitz420:
I'd probably put a completely stock Rom on with bloatware and all. You could always message the buyer and ask?
[EVO 4G General] Matt -- HB Cali:
Yeah, that's exactly what I was debating doing.
[EVO 4G General] spyd312:
I think you need to load a SENSE ROM so that they can provision it.
[EVO 4G General] Fazulka:
Put CM7 on it and display this article:

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/05/cyanogenmod-android-hack/

Wired will practically sell that phone for you and CM7 works great.
[EVO 4G General] _Cooze_:
Synergy RC1, without godmode.

Personally I think CM7 is still too buggy to give to someone unless they are an avid XDA member.. Plus if they are used to seeing their friends with Evo's using them, trying them out and all they may be thrown for a loop if they get an AOSP rom. May not even know what sense is, but the know it'll be different.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
Matt, do you still drive a 3kgt? lol
[EVO 4G General] _Cooze_:
Or.. you could always un-root it.
[EVO 4G General] Nick N:
Shooter no question.
[EVO 4G General] tropicalbrit:
MikG with Chopsuey kernel. I say that because it is insanely stable. You will DEFINITELY need a Sense ROM to activate the phone.

A stock ROM or ROMs based on Sprint Sense phones should be best. And please leave them with Amon Ra.

[Galaxy S II General] s76x:
hi to all

I have buy the SGS2 from a few days...I don't know what I've do but I haven't no more audio when I rec a video and when I receive a call and I press the "speakerphone mode"! for normal calls without speakerphone mode the people listen me, when I press speakerphone the people don't listen me and today when I've rec a video with the camera and I've replay the video the sound there isn't, only a noise/whispering sound.

I've tried to make a echo test call with skype app and the sound registered is ok, I've also tried another rec audio app and the sound registered is ok.

The problem is only on the calls in speakerphone mode on and in the videocamera mode.

Please anybody can help me to resolve? thanx
[Galaxy S II General] s76x:
anybody know if there's an hidden menu that's possible to reach via # and * where there are all volume settings? with videocamera volume and speakerphone volume? (I don't know if is the correct word..I talk about the "live calls sound")
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
The SGS2 has two microphones (one is used for example for cutting out wind noise when filming). The secondary mic is placed right next to the 3.5mm headphone jack.

It could be that the speakerphone and the camera app both use the secondary mic to record audio (since it's easy to block the main mic at the bottom when holding the phone using both these apps), while Skype on the other hand uses the main mic (so that wouldn't be affected).

If I had to guess then I would say that the secondary mic is not working on your phone
[Galaxy S II General] s76x:
I've noticed that when I play a recorded video the 5.1 icon is in grey and if I try to activate it I receive the message "the 5.1 is available only with speakphones". If I play a normal song with the player and I try again to activate the 5.1 I receive the message "this effect isn't supported for this speaker".

I remember when was all ok, in the video player for recorded video the 5.1 icon was in white and activated
[Galaxy S II General] s76x:
is there a secret menu where is possible to check the status of the speakers?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcol:
Ok, I done it now.

Had CWM installed with the vegan version. Using 1.1 bootloader. Ran great.

Then I decised to try honeycomb and thats when all hell broke loose.

Then I decided to go back to the stock ROM using APX and all loaded fine and the tablet came up, but every time I would power off it would not boot up. When I hit the power button with or without the + or - volume button it would go into a silent recovery mode with a dead screen. Then I could nvflash a ROM back in and go though the same cycle all over agin. No boot after power up. I cannot get into the CWM recovery. So I tried loading some different ROMS. All did the same thing until I loaded the stock 1.2 ROM, now I cannot even get into the NVFLASH. Totally dead. No action from ay buttons.

The tab ran fine until I messed with the ROMs. Now what do I do?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcol:
Update,

USB started working again, so I am back to able to NVflash, but with same problem. Cannot run cwm recovery and every ROM I install loads fine and boots up fine, but as soon as I power down I cannot boot again. I never get the birds splash screen. Power button with volume up/down has no efect. Buttons work fine when in software after an NVflash.

Problem is when I power off, I cannot reboot unless I reload the NVflash.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcol:
Can't get to CWM so nothing in that link fixed it, although that is a nicely put together site.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan-koch:
Hello,

is there a way for a generic display calibration for gingerbread?

Generic means a display calibration that is independend from smartphone/display producer and display driver.

[Ideally this is not solved in the android source (e. g. solved in linux kernel or X11 - but android does not use X11). Why? It works then also in MeeGo and other smartphone systems with linux kernel. This as an idea. I'm interested also for solutions that work only with android, too.]

Is it possible to run tslib? (See: processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Tslib )

Thanks

Stefan

I originally tried to root my phone then flashed away with odin ( all this after reading through several threads of course ) now it's worse all I get on my screen is a little phone and a little computer with a triangled exclamation point. Grrr.... please help did I brick my phone? thanks for any help
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
I had that once. Flash test4. Zip with update. Zip to do a restore point. If u have one. (U should!)
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Thanks I'll give it a try
[Continuum General] verizonless:
Did you make sure that "Re-Partition" in Odin is NOT checked (!!!) before clicking the start button?

Regardless, This thread may help.
[Continuum General] jds3118:
The re-partition box was not checked but thanks for the info
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Do I flash the test4.zip through the pda box or one of the others?
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
yes. PDA uncheck auto reboot., then start

It shouldn't take more than a few seconds
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Gonna try it now thanks
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Yes my prob now is I downloaded test4.zip but when I click the pda box in odin the files not there???? I feel like such a noob. lol
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
not there? As in not on your computer? Come into IRC.

webchat.freenode.net

#samsung-continuum is the channel name
[Continuum General] jds3118:
The zip file is in the comp download file but when I click the pda box in odin the files not there
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
You probably need to unzip it and the file will be inside. It should gab a.tar extension
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Ok I flashed cwm_recovery_test4_adryn and was able to get recovery menu and clicked update.zip and now I have a green android dude with a white triangle with an exclamation point inside ????
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
OK... that's actually, a good thing.

Now, I assume that you have cwm2.5 on your sd card, and one of the roms, correct? If not, put them on there, making sure that they are not in any folder.

Once you've done this, boot into recovery, and scroll down to the second option (apply sdcard:update.zp) and tap the "menu" key firmly.

Next go to "install zip from sd card" and use the power button to select.

after that, scroll to "choose zip from sd card" and select it with the power button

Then, find the rom, and select it with power button. Then "Yes"

After it installs, use the back key to back up to the main cwm menu and go to wipe cache and select it.

Then, go to advanced, select it, then wipe dalvik cache, and select ye on it.

After you have done all this, back up to the main cwm menu again and select 'reboot system now".

Get something to drink. It'll take a while on first boot. DO NOT PULL YOUR BATTERY!!
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Ok went back into recovery and did wipe cache worked fine then tried wipe data/factory reset and got E:can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (no file or directory ) E:install_application _for_customer :can't mount H IODENSDCARD then it says your storage not prepared yet, please use Ui menu for format and reboot actions

So how do I do that ???
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
did you do this before or after you installed the rom? If it was before, I'd imagine it's because there was no rom on there to reset. Flash the rom, then reboot normally. Once it boots, then go back into recovery and try wiping.
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Ok trying it now thanks for all the help
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Before
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
let me know if it works. Staying up so I can make sure you are good to go.
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Will the ec07 nuckin rom work?
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
That depends on which kernel you flashed. If you flashed an ec07 kernel, then yes.

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

If you aren't certain which kernel you flashed, download this and flash it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30171389/ec07.tar

Make sure nukin's rom is on your sd card

put your phone into download mode, and plug into your computer.

open Odin, and place that file into the PDA section.

make sure auto reboot and repartition are UNCHECKED and hit start 30 seconds - 1 minute flash time.

Once that is flashed reboot into recovery and install nukin's rom as I instructed in the previous post

apply sdcard:update.zip

install zip from sd card

choose zip from sd card

nukin's rom

yes

back out to main cwm

wipe cache

advanced

wipe dalvik

back out to main cwm

reboot system now

Question For Continuum Similiar To Thread (Brick)

I tried to root. Now I have a Continuum with a fuzzy (tiny pixels) screen. Mode Detect says Mass Storage Device. Am I finished with this phone? I apologize if anyone answered me in another thread. I cannot find my question! I'm bookmarking this one.

I'm on Ubuntu if that matters. Normally, I'm level headed but this is not my device.
[Continuum General] jds3118:
Ok I got into recovery and did the first part I scrolled down and selected install from sdcard and hit power button now in blue lettering it says CwM voodoo lagfix recovery v2.5.1x

--install from sdcard ... and hasn't done anything else is that right?

if you are where i THINK you are, you are now in cwm recovery. Now you need to select install zip from sd card, then find the rom and install it... I'll know a lot better if I can get you into IRC where we can have realtime conversation about it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hobbs:
I am on stock rom, codeworkx kernel, and root with super one click. I don't remember since when, I noted that when I plug the phone to charge at night, I would see 60 or 61% battery. Coming from captivate, I was impressed with GSII's battery life. However, I began to suspect something was wrong when it's 61% every evening. I tried recalibrating, erased battery stat with CWM, and manually deleted batterystat.bin with root explorer. Now my battery status shows 100% all the time. Anyone have any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I would start with "don't delete files from the system partition", and if you do always back them up first.

To recalibrate your battery you may need to run your phone to 100% dead, this may be hard without the meter. Then, with the phone still off, charge to full. See if that does the trick.

Sent from my SGS II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsmith8858:
where are you always seeing the 100%? At the top, in the status bar? If so, that may be an issue with the theme you are using. What do you see when you go into the Settings menu, "About Phone", "Battery Status"?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Reflash your ROM.

Deleting batterystats.bin shouldn't do anything, neither should recalibrating, unless you somehow screwed up the ROM our your phone is defective.

There are NO provisions for loading battery history into our fuel gauge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrRobinson:
sounds like a godsend, not a problem.;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hobbs:
It's 100% on the status bar, about phone battery widget

I did not want to reflash the rom but I may have

perpetual battery would be nice, wouldn't it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FESCSteve:
Depending on the scheme that Samsung uses, it could have been a botched battery calibration. If you started the calibration process with a partially discharged battery (say at 60%), it may think that is a full charge. So everything that is above 60% will be reported as 100%. Again, it all depends on how they calibrate the indicator and how you performed the calibration.

Just a thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hobbs:
My battery guage is still screwy. I tried unNamed 1.03, 1.04, ad now serendipity. It never shows below 50%. The phoe just dies without low battery warning. When I plug in the charger, battery shows that it's dead. It takes few mins to charge so that I can reboot the phone. But when it reboots, it shows 50% battery. I can not trust the battery guage. Is the battery bad? It does not seem to be related to roms since it seems to happen with all 3 roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Defective. Time to exchange?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
It's clearly not defective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hobbs:
Screenshot of when the phome died. Now charging. As you can see it never hit 0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
STOP BLINDLY APPLYING HTCISMS TO SAMSUNG PHONES.

Our fuel gauge is specifically designed NOT to require calibration. Diddling with batterystats.bin does NOTHING except for possibly causing the software to hit the chip with way too many resets, freaking it out.

Our fuel gauge chip has ONE input to it - reset. That's it.

Flash back to 100% stock - and if it continues, you have a defective phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hobbs:
Any suggestion on how to fix this? This is freaking annoying. Any help would be appreciated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Something is clearly odd... I disagree with Mikey on the defective issue. I am beginning to think something is wacky with your phone.

Install CurrentWidget - while the current display won't work, it WILL show you the raw battery voltage. When charging/discharging, what does the raw battery voltage say compared to the percentage charge?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
I've had all sorts of weird battery things happen on the Captivate and SGS II. Random jumps, staying at 100% indefinitely (but still dying).

Unless it happens all the time it's not defective. At least no more defective than the rest of Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Well, without actual displays of the battery voltage (use CurrentWidget...) it's impossible to tell, but behavior like that can only be explained by a hardware defect. Either the MAX17042 is defective, or the I2C bus is glitching.

The SoC display is pretty much piped straight from what the MAX17042 reports - if it's wrong, the chip itself is reporting wrong.

General rule - if battery is above 4.0v and displays only 50%, even after a full fuel gauge reset (shut down, pull battery, let it rest a few minutes, reinsert and turn back on), there's something wrong with the hardware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FESCSteve:
Wow - what an attitude. First of all, this is the first time I have commented on any thread about battery meter schemes. I've not applied any 'HTCISMS' before to be able to stop. Secondly, stop using all caps. It's pretty poor netiquette.

Having been blindly slapped in the face by such a rude comment, could you care to tell us what scheme Samsung uses to identify SOC? I know you contribute a lot, but I can't imagine that you've done so with such a crappy attitude.

I've also said nothing about "Diddling with batterystats.bin". I'm not sure what you were smoking when you posted that, but I'd taper off.

Hope you have a better day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
You'll have to forgive Entropy512... he's accustomed to the Infuse forum where you have to literally scream over the crowds of morons that think they know everything.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darmvlinder:
Hello everyone,

Firstly, I did not find a board dedicated to the S5660. So I posted it here.

Today, I tried to backup my current installation of Android to my SD. I used

a guide on androidpolice(dot)com, while searching for "complete android backup" in Google.

My phone had to be rooted, which it was, so I went on to download and install Clockworkmod's ROM Manager. I opened it up, fixed the permissions and made a backup. Before I could make one, I had to pick a phone model. However, these were all very strange types or brands I never even heard of.

I randomly picked one, and my phone NOT being listed should have served as a warning but alas, and the app started backing up. After it was done, it all seemed normal so I pressed "home" to go back to my main screen and pressed the "lock/power" button so my screen would turn off. I put the phone in my pocket.

Exactly 2 minutes later, I pull out my phone and I notice the screen is black, I push the lock/power button: nothing happens. I hold the lock/power button in the expectation that the phone will boot up since it might have been shut down accidentally. Nothing happens.

I remove battery, re-insert battery. I repeat this over a dozen or so times to no avail. I try the download or safe boot key-combinations (volume down + home + power) and nothing helps.

It's as if either all the keys are broken, something went seriously wrong in the interior hardware or hopefully, (the most simple possibility) my battery gave the ghost.

I went to the shop where I bought the Galaxy Gio and told them about the issues I had, they said they were going to send it to a Samsung Service Center for repairs. After I went home and had browsed the Internet for some possible solutions, I returned to the shop to try out several of the tricks that were listed (inserting battery on the exact same time when you press the buttons), nothing worked.

Does this smell to bricking or just a dead battery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Before any conclusions are made (it sounds like its bricked though)...dead battery?... Did you try charging it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darmvlinder:
It happened while I was at school, I immediately went to the shop and the guy helping me said he had plugged it in for a short while. I guess I believe him since I did not see it but he said the phone did nothing.

But how come a software malfunction can mess up the physical buttons like the power/volume or lock buttons?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
If the software of a device is corrupted, then the hardware won't work properly (if at all). Example: you flash a rom for a device with one button and your device has five, then of course the software wouldn't recognize the other buttons (this is just an example of the hardware part cause if you actually did that, your device wouldn't even start). Also, you said that you just randomly chose one made for another device, for future reference:

NEVER

flash a kernel, rom, etc. not made for your device or atleast not stated to work on your device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darmvlinder:
Yes, I figured this when I tried to do the actual backup but it seems I was too stupid to stop the entire process.

I have already given it to the store as they will send the phone to a Samsung Service Center. Do you know how the processes of repairing for such phones work?

Also, if the phone is a total brick, it cannot be recovered whatsoever?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
The best thing to do is hope they can't repair it :p. If they happen to get it to work and find out you rooted it, they will just return it to you the way it is now. I hope you didn't tell the guy how this happened...

P.S. - No, I don't know the process they use to recover something like this. I'm no expert in recovering hard bricks (know a few stuff, but not in this case).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darmvlinder:
The guy asked me whether I had ever let the phone come into contact with water or fluids or if I ever let it fall down to the floor, neither of which have happened in the past. I also told him an update through Kies went awry and caused the system to be unstable till the crash of today.

The dude seemed pretty confident in that the warranty would cover. I don't know. I feel like a giant moron, to be honest.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Another future reference (although you dodged the bullet here): never tell your manufacturer (or whoever is supposed to look after the warranty of your device,etc.) that you rooted (or even tried to root) your device. Well, you just have to hope for the best now .
