[Samsung Infuse 4G] DLXII:
So, it turns out that my IMEI is missing and I don't have a backup of my EFS folders. My phone works perfectly fine but it has no service. Is there a way to fix this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] badhobz:
I had the same problem... I didn't know how to fix it so I took the phone back and replaced it. I think it might be a bad flash, but I reflashed it a few times and still no use.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
Yeah dude, I was getting to the point were I was going to say the same thing as the above poster. Because I am stoked as what to do. Some people here have said that they've had to return their phone and get it replaced by Samsung.

You may have to do so if it is still under warranty if you cannot find a solution.

If a solution hasn't been found, remember that if you will send the phone back to samsung the phone must be complete stock without the root and without the de-odexed files. (I can show you how to return it to stock without root, i wrote up a small tutorial on that.)

Anyway man, I'll keep looking over the forums, if anything comes up I'll let you know. Heck maybe someone will post a solution to your answer soon even before me. :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] badhobz:
So the problem came up after i tried to reflash the roms back to stock rogers (along with the kernel reflash)

i used the stock firmware from gtg along with his kernel in the HOW to root rogers in the q/a

afterwards, im not exactly sure when, i received the no carrier (no imei, etc) problem. I thought i might have short circuited my phone by pressing the back of the sim card's metal holder but i guess this isnt it. Anyways, my replacement rogers phone is coming in this week and i dont think im going to mess with any custom roms until this is cleared up.

Most likely to be a kernel issue or a modem issue. Have you guys tried reflashing the stock rogers modem? i havent done it because i dont have my phone anymore.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
I flashed GTG's back to stock for Roger's many times I've had no problems loosing my IMEI.

I think the only time you can actually loose this is if your EFS folder becomes corrupt during flash, for example if your flashing and the flash suddenly becomes interrupted etc.

Roms are cool and all, I know that (Used to be a flash junkie on my captivate). I've stoped using roms. This phone is fast enough to go without roms imo.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] badhobz:
im pretty sure this is what happened to mine, but i cant seem to find any solutions. If i send this back to rogers you think they'll hammer me for it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
Is there a rom on it? If not return it to stock without root and bring it to a rogers store.

Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iBAquino:
Infuse 4g - No IMEI: /null

Happened to me also.

Tried performing IMEI Restoration from mobiletechreview, but my EFS folder gave me different files and there was no nv_data backup.

Would flashing a different rom/kernal help fix this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] badhobz:
i tried re flashing roms but it didnt help. Im pretty sure the efs got messed up after the partitioning of the drive. I was on cm7 and then i decided to go back to stock and bam, got stuck with this no carrier/no efs thing. Im pretty sure because going back to stock required the drive to be re partitioned and this happened. That and i deleted my entire SD to clean it up and im pretty sure that didnt help either hahah.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iBAquino:
I also have been trying mobiletechreview's IMEI Restoration but did not have the same items in folders and no nv_data. Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem yet?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 2Quik:
The nv_data.bak is in the \efs_bkup\efs\root\afs\settings folder.

Thank me please!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DLXII:
problem: I still can't find nv_data in the new EFS folder!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jonmorera:
I have the same problem Imei null/null and the baseband said unknown when the sim is in the cellphone. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
I posted an efs fix some months back. Not sure where it's at now. But it is in the Infuse forum someplace.

I rooted my att galaxy s2 last night and flashed the unNamed rom. Everything seems to be working great except phone calls. The other person can't hear me and i cant hear them out of the earpiece nor on speaker phone. Anyone heard of this?
[Galaxy S II General] :
You flashed a SGH-I777 ROM to your phone and you're wondering why it's not working properly?

Either you're in the wrong forums or you've made a terrible mistake.
[Galaxy S II General] aaron7114:
My phone is the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Shystep:
Ok im new to this forums and ive had my sidekick for about a week and now it just stuck at

Y-mobile Sidekick4g

Samsung and

it just been like this for about 3 hours and

When i try to put in in recovery mode it doesn't work all it does is turn off and go right back to the same screen

Ive tired

Power + Vol down

And Power + vol up+ down

And its still not working tried taking the battery out still nothing

Took sd card out and sim card out nothing....

Plz help
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dan_Brutal:
Sounds like you need a trip to Dr. Odins office. You need to get into download mode; take the battery out, connect the phone via usb to the computer while pressing vol down + power + trackpad insert the battery. You should get a screen with a yellow triangle, from there, load the files into odin and flash.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Shystep:
Thx for the reply but now its stuck on the logo connect to pc ..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dan_Brutal:
Dont worry. Plug it back into the pc. If odin recognizes your phone, you can still flash.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
the odin app should be on and the the screen with the do not turn of target should appear first and also if u pull the phone out while its doing the odin u can try again althought this time ur will get a differen't screen to doin it

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecarlone:
hello,

my atrix runs under official stock rom 2.3.4, but phone idles battery usage is very high, and drains battery at most. i dont know the reason and coulnt solve this problem, any idea?

why this official stock roms phone idle drains the battery?any solution ? or should i wait the update for orange uk , maybe they relase 2.3.5 which doesnt have this problem or should it back to gurantee for changing a new one or take my money back.

thx for your solutions and suggestions
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8trix:
did you try hard reset?

Flash a clean image through CWM?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
hmm you could go back and request another phone :D but most probably its that you have all sort of accounts signed in and set them to update all the time over mobile data or even wifi. might check on that, or maybe you installed an app that keeps waking the phone/accessing data. factory wipe wouldnt be that bad of an idea.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecarlone:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethpenn:
You must ask questions in the Q&A forum. If I see you post in two forums one more time, I'm going to unleash some major pain.

Your question is not more important than other questions from other members. Please follow the rules.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendust7:
Has your phone always done this? If so, and it's still under warranty, back up your apps and data and replace the phone. Or consider buying a replacement battery (generally between $10 and $20 --- at least here in the US) and try it out. If you observe the same behavior, you at least have a spare battery without much expense.

The only other thing I can think of is that, if you are comfortable with accessing your phone's file system (your phone would need to be rooted), download QuickSSHd and log into your phone as root from your computer using TeraTerm or other terminal emulator. Then put your phone into idle and invoke UNIX commands from the remote terminal and periodically check for processes running in background. This of course is more for the experienced user.

Hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjdmobile:
On my Atrix running stock AT&T 2.3.4, Phone idle is almost always the highest use. Higher than display, cell standby, etc. The actual drain with the screen off while it is doing nothing (like most of the time) is so low, I don't really think about it.

If you are reading the battery usage stats and worrying that your phone is draining on that alone, charge it to full before you go to bed, turn off the radios, unplug it for the night. Come back in the morning and check battery level. My guess is that it will have lost almost no power.

That's what I am finding anyway. I never 100% trust Android's battery usage scales.

[TG01 General] borderfox:
Up until today, I had just been accessing gmail on my TG01/win mob. 6.5 via the web. I just started using the client.

However, someone else accesses the same gmail account. If they send mails, these are not updated in the 'sent' mails folder of my email client on the TG01. Is there a way to configure so that this always updates - not just incoming mail?
[TG01 General] a_nini75:
I guess you can Bcc your own gmail address and set up an email filtering rule to place stuff incoming from your address into Sent-mail folder.
[TG01 General] borderfox:
Thanks for your post. I can't remember how I sorted it but I have 2 x 'sent mail' folders now - for each account - and this accounts for both mails sent elsewhere (from another device) and mails sent via the TG01.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milan03:
Is there any way to permanently turn on "Full Desktop Mode" so that when I access a web site I'm not served with the "Mobile View"?

And I don't mean using "about:useragent" every time you're about to request a site, but something permanent.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
fiinix, out of curiosity, what layer of the tile system is this utilizing? It seems you're adding tiles using the same method that the native applications would, but are reusing the same UIB/UIX animation scripts, hence the deal with Xbox Live. How much control over these tiles do we have?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
"out of curiosity, what layer of the tile system is this utilizing?"

- Native system level (RAPI COM+), talking to "pacmanserver"

"How much control over these tiles do we have?"

- Which tiles are you targeting?

1. (all tiles) - If you have the guid you are free to get any application tiles

2. ("this app") - What ever you want

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Have you considered either using/the/obvious/path.png or trying a web search? (Seriously, first result.)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xyap:
Yes I sure have considered this for many hours now including debugging but without success. Do you know how to do or you just guess?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Did you even read the first result of the link I posted?

You've got a folder in the root of your project called "Images". It contains a file called "ICannotReadTheDocs.png". It is build-type "Content" (not Resource, which you seem to be trying to use for some reason). You reference it in XAML by just putting the path in the Source parameter:

Source="/Images/ICannotReadTheDocs.png".

You reference it in code using the URI class:

image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Images/ICannotReadTheDocs.png", UriKind.Relative));

Alternatively, if you really want to stuff your image into the DLL, you can use the Resource build type.

XAML: "/ProjectHERP;component/Images/ICannotReadTheDocs.png"

C#: new Uri("/ProjectHERP;component/Images/ICannotReadTheDocs.png", UriKind.Relative);

EDIT: I'm being snarkier than usual because you're asking this in a really weird place; neither this thread nor this subforum in general are really about basic app development questions. If you were asking how to do something like load an icon resource out of a system DLL in the Windows folder, sure, that would be apropriate. If it was asking how to get the Xbox Live (Games hub) icon, it would even be on-topic for the thread. I'd have used LMBTFY but apparently you can't get it even when I direct you to exactly the site you need.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xyap:
thank you for your kind help.

sure you can now share the secret how to use your info for get this working:

spawnTile(new HackedWideIconTile(<string backgroundUmageURI>, <string Title>));

spawnTile(new HackedIconTile(<string iconImageUri>, <string title>));

thanks again.

Does anybody have issues with the keyboard click sound being to low,the locking and unlocking sound also low, music,calls,video play loud, and the vibrate feedback when selecting menus and soft keys are very faint but when I receive calls it's fine. it did this in stock rom, then I rooted to see if it would solve the problem but it did not. Moved on to the .893 custom rom hoping it would fix issue it has not. All volumes are up and have not dropped the phone, also tried to restored back to stock a couple of times and and rooted again re-download custom roms still no luck fixing this, could this be a hardware issue? or should I try to explain to the rep that the phone should not do this and see if I get another phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
This was under $4.00 shipped. I don't expect a lot, but for the price, I had to give it a try. They have them in black also.....I'll post back when I get it.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Rubber-Protective-sprint/dp/B005MJLMX8/ref=pd_sbs_cps_2

EDIT** Just got the case in and it's ok. It fits snug and looks good in white. It has a soft touch feel that is less slippery than the phone itself. For a sub $4 case....it's worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
If it's like the ones on eBay....put it on and leave it on lol. There's little tabs that interlock in the corners and they tend to snap off when you take it off. They look good and seem to work fine up until then. Let us know.

I just got one of these. Best case ever. Doesnt come off when you drop the phone. Easy to get off if you need to do a battery pull. Has grip on the sides of the phone that acually work. And its 2$. No complaints. Better then any at the sprint store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magnumtripod:
I got the $5 cheapo case from ebay (looks like the one in the OP, but black) and this thing is rock solid. I'm still waiting for Trident to come out with their case, but until then I'll keep rockin this case. I've dropped it a couple times and only once did the edge split open a little bit. It didn't damage the snap clip though. I've also taken it off several times, but I use a safe pry tool just because it's easier and still no damage to the snaps.

Would buy again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtruong23:
My case came today

For those interested, I received the case. Build quality is pretty good considering I spent about $4. The white looks nice and gives the phone some more grip (but not much). As for taking the case off and putting it back on, I wouldn't recommend doing so. I also have the TPU case in matte black but I prefer the white color.

Anyone else having this issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I've never had this issue.....but I use AOSP ROMs so I don't know how that works with sense. For me, I download whatever launcher I want to use and then I install it into the ROM's default system app location. I then delete the launcher that was baked into the ROM and voila! I have my new launcher that is always set as the default. Like I said though, I don't really have much experience with sense ROMs so I do not know if this process is an option. If it is then I highly suggest it because it makes life so much easier.

Did what you said. I backed up Sense and then uninstalled it. Now Go is the only launcher available so by default it's the one I want. :D

Hi guys, I did a search and I can't find anything on this, if it's already been answered I do apologize. I've got a kenwood stereo in my car that connects to the phone and streams music over bluetooth. I've used this on my last 2 phones (Samsung Epic, and HTC EVO) with no problems. Now with the Galaxy SII, i can't stream music. It will connect and do voice calls no problem, but when i try to play music, it just skips through every song on the list and then freezes. The only time it worked was the first time I connected it to my stereo. Has anyone else had this problem? Since I use Google Music, all of my music is streamed and I have to do it through bluetooth, this has become quite a pain!

my deck can save up to 5 phones pairing

so i just assigned a new profile to the SGS2 when i got it

the other ones registered are my old I9000, XT720 and Nexus S

there is another trick you can use

in the phone in the BT profile after pairing, hold the profile for 2 sec, it will pop up a sub menu, in which you can choose both option or only 1 of them

in which case it's BT audio, or BT phone

so play around with that and see

another thing which i don't know if your deck allows you to do is to Pair the phone as a Media device, or Phone device

so in my deck can can pair the phone to be only as a phone device, or only as a media device, or both
