[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashtwinks:
Solution is in the phone

Dear All

Following are my observations and possible steps to

1. When the phone is upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and above (mine is 2.3.6) Kies stops recognizing the phones and USB connection / Serial port connections etc get reset on the phone

2. Even if proper drivers are there on the laptop (mine is Windows 7 64bit) they are not recognized

3. Device Manager shows "unknown device"

4. Updating the driver also does not result in any help

5. solution lies in the phone

a. key in the dialer *#7284#

b. it has 4 option there..

UART (MODEM/PDA)

USB (MODEM/PDA)

c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect (thanks to napi1 @ androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/447145-sgs2-kies-not-syncing-os-2-3-5-a.html#post3484588)

6. The Laptop will start recognizing the required drivers and install them

also

Phone is not recognized by laptop when it is in USB debug mode, MyPhoneExplorer does not recognize when it is not in Debug mode:confused:

Hope this helps

My setup

Samsung Galaxy S2 GTI9100G (not rooted)

Android 2.3.6 (upgraded on Dec 8th from Samsung link in the phone)

Windows 7 64 Bit

Still Hasn't worked for me. I'm getting no USB function other than Charge. Its working as if the USB isn't plugged in at all.

Is there anyway of reinstalling the MTP application on the phone? When i find it through App manager its showing with no size and no options inside (clear data or clear cache)

Kies isn't working as far as the phone is concerned there is no USB connection at all.

I know ICS is coming within a few days for GS2 owners, will this clear the problem???

So frustrating.

Thanks in advance if anybody can help

same with mine. mine still doesnt work with the dialer *#7284# and with debugging off or on. ive unistalled and reinstalled the driver serveral times and nothing and this has happened to me on my hero and my sgs2 dozens of times, its so annoying =[. at one point i manged to get all but the usb storage drivers installed. what else can i do ???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unimatrix1982:
Same problem

Same problem here, tried everything (to my knowledge). Someone told me it had to do with the battery overheating because I had use the charger from another phone. For about 2 days my phone would go on vibrate randomly and started the connection process (like a usb cable was connected). It could do that non stop for a few hours. Now that Im back to my original charger, it stoped, but still can't connect to my pc.

I tried on 3 diff PCs with diff version of windows...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evaporated:
I've tried everythin, debug mode on/off, reinstalled Kies, drivers, did factory reset, but nothing.. when i try to connect my SGSII to Kies, it writes "Current connection mode not supported by Kies".. :confused: I'm on Lite'ning rom v2.2..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you're running a custom rom, why would you want to use Kies ? It's awful. There are so many other apps that have the same functionality as Kies (tho granted not one app that does everything Kies does) that work perfectly with custom roms.

Only reason to use Kies would be if you went back to stock because you wanted official ICS OTA or similar IMHO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evaporated:
I did a backup with Kies, now my all contacts, sms, videos, music, calendar are in this f***in' backup file.. :| I have an awfull headache :( Or i can do a restore with another app, will it be compatible with Kies's backup file?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamensterms:
same problem. USB connection to PC will only charge. Recently updated to 2.3.6.

Tricky one.

it worked ok after rebooting my PC. Must just be general crapiness.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuleee:
Do we have a solution on this? I updated yesterday to SuperNexus Jelly Bean ROM, didn't liked it. I restored my device to CM9 which i was using for a month without any problems. Then it started, computer couldn't recognize the phone anymore. Its like that SuperNexus broke something i don't know. I reformatted my Win 7 Ultimate x64 and installed fresh new CM10 - but after all my computer and S2 don't like each other - USB device not recognized. Chaos. I asked my friend to come over just to test with his S2 (he's on stock ICS 4.0.3 or 4.0.4), and when i plug his phone into my computer, everything works flawlessly. I tried mounting in recovery, i tried with and without usb debugging, Odin doesn't find phone neither, tried updating drivers - no luck... Dialing *#7284" just gives me "connection problem or invalid MMI code". Need help on this please!

Hi,

I have a similar problem to connect my Samsung Galaxy S2 GTI9100 with Android 4.1.2 to windows 7 64 bit. I tried to connect it by using latest Samsung drivers and latest kies, but windows does not recognized it. I tried the procedure suggested by one of the previous post without success (I enable/disabled USB debugging).

What can I do?

Yikes this doesn't work for me

I get USSD code running....then, Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thumper2:
I just fixed this problem myself. My phone is running CyanogenMod 4.4.4 and I couldn't connect to my PC. The above mentioned didn't work either 'error'.

Under Control Panel my phone would show up as a network device (Nexus 5), but couldn't connect. I was going to change drivers to Samsung drivers, but instead picked USB mass storage, and instant connection. Easy fix!

Hope this helps.

I have read this thread and nothing helps me, I have problem that phone connects only as camera but not as media device???

It happened after playing with rooting and unsuccessful trying to install android 5.1 (in th middle of install it showed busy and stopped)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
If your PC can not detect your phone, there could be many reasons why it's not working.

Usually I suggest people to try using custom recovery to mount the phone's storage.

If that doesn't work, look at the drivers, usually the one's installed should be fine. But some driver installations maybe corrupt and so people face this kind of problem. Download official samsung usb drivers and install it MANUALLY (yes, I mean manually). On windows, you can easily do this by opening device manager, open the s2 driver properties, choose update from specific location, select the extracted folder then confirm update.

If that doesn't work, we can narrow it down to hardware problem, either problem with your phone's usb port, usb cable or pc usb port.

All, note sure if anyoneelse has seen or tried this but just came across a new browser in the market called dual screen browser. As expected it does what it says on the tin and its pretty cool. Its still an early build but worth a look.

I know i may get flamed for this post but i wanted to put this in general as its a good app.

It may not be a browser for every day use but good for cross referencing or just some almost desktop like multi tasking......let me know what you guys think.

That's cool, thanks for the infos. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Yea good spots. Also there is no favourites import from stock browser.

The reason i like it was bbc iplayer in one window catching up on some tv and reading a web page in the other

I'm apparently supposed to leave feedback in a thread that has nothing to do with the actual developer.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] willmon22:
Well first off I have a LG Optimus V phone which I got on ebay then was having speed issues with it so then I got an exchange from virgin mobile. It was stock at 2.2.2 and it wouldn't let me tether. So after going through a bunch of black screen issues I finally got BACKside-IHO-VM670-10172011 on it. So now whenever I get the hotspot on the battery slowly gets depleted even though it is plugged in and should be charging. The only time it doesn't seem to deplete is when it is fully charged then the hotspot is on and plugged in to charge. So is there something I can do to make it stop depleting so quickly when it is at least half way charged? I have only seen a few other threads for getting battery life better and it seems like they say to switch to a different rom or run less things which I have.

Install WiFi Tx Power from market and try a lower Tx value than you currently have.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] willmon22:
What would you suggest it be put at? I have it at 18dBm for now.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] stablittlekids:
Are you overclocking at all or just running at 600mhz?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] willmon22:
It is running at default power.

I have the settings for the CPU at default it hasn't been slow at all ever since I got the replacement. Basically I am mostly using the hotspot for now as I my mom is using the Ovation MC760 usb internet with virgin mobile. So to prevent a slow down for her I just use my phone. But I have been using applications and games when I am out and have nothing else better to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhayzR:
In the latest Jiminy post by Deathsled, he mentioned the Jiminy mod is no longer necessary to get full functionality on a Cricket-Flashed Evo...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784776&page=36

What is the reason for this?

About 6 months ago, I payed cricket store $100 for a full flash, and got no MMS...

I recently took my phone to someone on craigslist, and he got my MMS working, but now I have VERY slow 3G (10-30kbps down). He said he's working on it, but I figured I need to look elsewhere for guidance...

He told me he flashed it back to the stock Sense rom, and then flashed it to Jiminy.

Since then, i get about 10 major process crashes a day, and I have about 15-20 HTC/Sense processes running constantly that I never saw prior to this flash.

How can I get my phone working as it is intended to on Cricket, and not have erroneous processes eating all of my resources?

This has been a very long and tedious process to get a fully functional Evo on Cricket, and I just want it to be over... Ive sacrificed oto much time and money on all of this...

Thanks in advance guys, I know how helpful you all can be!

Hi all!

I know it might be a lil odd to be posting this but I kinda really wanna have this app in my phone, lol.

I've tried using CM7.1 "Stable" but realizing it wasn't really stable and yeah, they removed it from being stable after all.

I'm currently using CheckROM HD and it's great! But it wasn't compatible with my controller :( So here I am, hoping to get some help from you guys ^^

And just one more question: Is Siyah 2.0 or 2.1 working well with CM7.1? I think I read it somewhere Siyah's not on friendly terms with CM7s if I'm not wrong.

I'm using KI4 currently btw. Is it better to change to KH3? Fine I'm sorry that's 3 questions in a row, lol.

Thank you guys for the help!

I’m using MIUI since 1.9.30 (now we are on 1.10.21) and the Sixaxis works pretty well. You should try it (in my opinion, MIUI works best with [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154299”]this[/URL] app).

I can’t help you with the second question.

For the third one, what do you mean by better? Battery? FCs? I suggest you to find something really stable (as Touch X-Power, MIUI, VR3) and to stay with it till something with Note things (first) or ICS (then) will come out.

Wrong section. This is Development.

If you want to use CM, then use the nightlys. They've been ahead of rc1 since at least 85. Nightlys are currently at #90+

Edit. If you choose to use CM nightly, then use the kernel that comes with the rom.

As long as you didn't use the PS3 controller on your PS3 after it paired with your phone, it should automatically connect over Bluetooth since it was already paired once.

Mindaddig, amíg nem használja a PS3 kontroller a PS3 után csatlakozik a telefonhoz, akkor automatikusan csatlakozik a Bluetooth, mert már egyszer párosított.

It's actually quite easy, you just need to decompile the Mms.apk with apktool or whatever and edit the mms_config.xml in the xml folder

But ensure that you tab is rooted :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] nthomas51:
I could be wrong, but the instructions in Bluemotion's link seem to be how to restore the stock HC email and calendar apps. What we're looking for is a modded version of the app that removes/ignores any security restrictions set by the exchange server.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] AMoosa:
You are right. I am looking for a modded version to ignore the security restrictions. The one for the Galaxy S2 works great. :)

I actually purchased an app for my s2. I paid $2 for Enhanced Email and it ignores all the security stuff. They have since raised the price to $10. I use it on my Tab, but it's not tablet optimized - though he is working on one with a tablet layout.

Thanks. I quite like the Samsung app, so will try and persever with this. I have got it working great on the S2 so it can't be too difficult on the Tab 10.1...
