Does anyone has the same battery drain as i do on my I9100G??...android os seems to be crazy draining juice..i use G kernel and stock dxkj2 rom..and have uninstall many samsumg bloatware..but still android os is running crazy..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkelfa2:
i think that there might be a problem with your device, it was a big mistake to buy this one, try to replace it with i9100 as this is a big scam.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amercortezz:
If i had a lot of money i had my i9100g change to i9100..3 month of saving my allowance to buy my sgs2 but i got curse with the unknown G version..good solds are not returnable...thats wat i heard from the store that i got from..so i had to suck this G version..till i am able to change it...thanks for the option that u advice me to do...that will remove the android os bug for sure....

SGS2 I9100G
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
AFAIK, that is the problem of Android devices, not G. OP, I have I9100G and battery statistics are not like this. Its pretty good, I lose 1% of my battery in 1.5-2hrs when on standby on stock 2.3.6.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkelfa2:
sad to hear that, anyway all of the "G" users are facing probelms with the browser, which lags like hell when you open an hd or full hd videos and if you have adobe flash 11, every time you open a page with flash content, your browser will shut it self, in addition to that, there is a bug with the youtube app, every time you move the loading bar backward, the video will reload the video from the place you moved the bar backward to,

hope you can replace it :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetzstream:
Funny.. i have the I9100G and i dont face issues that you've mentioned with the browser..

will have to test the youtube issue though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkelfa2:
thats weird, im almost sure that every i9100G has the browser issue, try installing adobe flash player 11 from the market and open any page with a flash content like a video for example (make sure to inable the plug-ins from the setting)

here is a page with a video:

tell me what happens with you

waiting for a reply :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
I read somewhere that its a bug with Flash player 11. I have 10.25 something version. I will go home and try above video and report back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkelfa2:
can you please check the youtube app too?

it would be great if you did :D

I am having the same problem with my i9100G. Comparing with the other phones (Infuse, I9100, Arc), their proximity sensor just turn on when make a call :mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
Install fixed redlight.apk. I installed it and the proximity sensor turns off automatically once phone is unlocked. No need to turn it off manually by calling someone and ending the call.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkelfa2:
thanks for the reply,

it is a bit too late as i sold my i9100G and im getting the galaxy note this sunday :D

where can i install the fixed redlight.apk from?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anson81:
frequent hang/freeze, sometimes auto shutoff

I got a i9100G, I face some problem where my phone will auto shutoff and couldn't restart it, i need to remove battery and place it back to get it back.

Sometimes when taking picture will hang/freeze,

Anyone can tell me what to do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
I will post fixredlight apk soon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
Here is the link for Fixredlight.apk (NOT made by me, I found the link on some Chinese/Japanese forum but couldn't understand a thing, full credit to whoever created it): http://www.wuploadsearch.com/download/oK2orKBTnqiW-fixredlight.apk-wupload-download-link.html

After installing this, your Proximity sensor will start for a very very small time once you unlock the screen and it will shut off automatically. During calls, it will function normally.

There is a small bug though. If your screen turns off but is not locked, and you press power button to turn on the screen, the Proximity Sensor will be turned ON and wont turn off (the phone behaves like it has original Proxy Sensor bug). So, to fix this, easiest way is press power button to turn off the screen and then turn it on again. It works normally.

I will look into the apk and see if I can fix it and release a new version.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
So i just bought a captivate off of craigslist and it doesn't have the 3-button fix but is on CM7. I'm not sure if it has GB bootloaders. I cannot reach download mode via buttons so i assume it doesn't. Is there a way to get to a stock rom without ODIN?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If memory serves me correctly, you can use a terminal emulator to tell it to reboot to download mode.

Something like:

su

reboot download

But I could be wrong on that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
I've already tried that, ive tried everything, adb, terminal, apps, and buttons.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Well, there's always the Devo approach:

"When a problem comes along, you must jig it!"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
It might have to come to that. I wanted to see if there were any other options first
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
If it has CM on it, then go into recovery by holding volume+ and volume- then reboot download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
i Cant get to recovery by doing that the only way was through the power long press reboot recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
And then you can reboot to download mode from recovery. This option should be in Advance!

Also, holding down both volume low & up button and inserting USB cable also initiate the download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
IlluminatedOne's suggestion is a good one. I never knew that was there!

I also have a Cappy without a working 3 button combo. You aren't on GB bootloaders because that would fix your button combo problem. If you are going to keep flashing ROMs, I would flash to a Samsung GB ROM first. This will give you your button combo back, then you can flash to whatever you want so long as you use a package without bootloaders (GB bootloaders are backward compatible).

If you don't have functioning button combos and you have a bad flash, you will need a jig to get back into download mode, so it is worth the extra flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
I tried that, I couldn't find the option.

it says my CWM is v5
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Would that work? I thought the combo was in the blds, so if I flash a TB Tom it wouldn't help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Technically, it's the bootloaders. You don't actually need to flash the ROM, just the bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
i cant get to DL mode to flash the bootloaders... hence the problem
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Stop fighting it and just Use a jig to get to download mode.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
When I am on a call I want to keep the screen from timing out. I almost always use a headset so I do not need the screen to turn off every few seconds (very annoying). I need easy access to the mute/unmute button during conference calls and do not want to have to turn the screen back on every few seconds.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
*sigh* I hate bumping my own thread... seems so pushy ;)

Am I really the only one that has an issue with the screen turning off during a call? This drives me crazy and I was hoping someone else had a work around.?. :confused:

-D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crafall:
Try the app "Screen On" I'd link it but I can't post links.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
That works perfect. Thank you very much. I actually ended up switching from that app to AppAutoSettings which is made by the same vendor but give you more control over more apps.

I love the forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duced:
does this not drain your battery more for the screen to say on? How has that affected you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
Batteries are less than $20 on eBay so I never let that bug me.

This issue would happen if I had the phone on a charger, in a dock, etc.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigjuan:
I'd gone from stock to CM 7.1, but the issues there just bugged me too much.

When I *first* got the phone (a month or so ago), I'd used Odin to try to root it and botched something...not sure what. I dug around and found Heimdall, used the collection of files I found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026746) and got back to stock. Did the OTA updates, then installed CM 7.1.

Last night, I decided to try out some other ROMs (installed via CW 4.0.1). I downloaded Poolparty, Evil, and OMFGB. They all installed without issue and looked slick, but I found I wasn't getting texts...and when I sent texts, they were blank. I decided to use Heimdall again and revert back to stock.

This morning I tried installing the OTA updates again, but they kept failing. In my poking around, I found that the internal phone storage showed 0kb available.

I tried doing a factory reset, I tried wiping the cache, I tried everything I could think of, including re-flashing via Heimdall...nothing helped, I still had 0kb free space and am unable to install anything.

On a lark I decided to re-install the Evil ROM from CW again, and it went on smooth, but I'm back to square one, where I can't get texts and send blank ones. Looking at the internal phone storage space, however, it shows 1.47 GB free, which is more like what I'd expect.

I've tried using Odin at work today, but it's not seeing my phone. I suspect the cable I've got may be the issue with Odin (which is odd, given that Heimdall works great), so I'll try that again when I get home.

Does anyone have any ideas about:

1.) Why the stock install thinks there's no storage space on the internal storage, and how I can fix that, and

2.) Are there any suggestions as to what radio and modem I should flash for Evil? I saw suggestions elsewhere on the web that the inability to receive texts and sending blank ones was due to not having the correct modem and/or radio.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigjuan:
Odin worked

I was able to update the modem via Odin once I got home. Being the tinkerer I am, I re-flashed back to stock using Heimdall and saw the appropriate amount of internal storage space.

Weird.

I just want to thank to TricH for his great ROM bombaridier.

I personally found the v1.2 of this ROM better than v1.4 for two reasons:

1.- CRT effect issue on restarting phone

2.- better battery life in v1.2

Are you guys agree?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TricH:
Thanks dude! The CRT issue is a dalvic cache issue. Wipe the cache from rom manager and fix permissions. You may have to do this twice. I am trying to fix this issue so you wont have to do this. Some people dont even get it. This is a issue in all roms actually.

2. The battery is not a issue until you calibrate it.

I did it twice as you suggested, however the issue was still there. That's why I decided to go back to v1.2. I am not complaining, I am just sharing my experiences on this rom.

Regarding the battery, probably that issue was only in my mind.

+1. The fastest rom for me(my T989) so far. Benched higher score than Beast/Jugg with combo trials of kernels before overclock (avg 3600s) and reach 4326 in quadrant after overclock.

Testing battery atm and it's going against a tough contender (prior rom); latest beast rom and same synergy kernel gave the best battery I've had so far at 1 day 13hrs of moderate usage.

Hi there,

I don't know what mobile card I should choose. I'm wondering between A-DATA MicroSDHC 32GB Class 10 and SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC 32GB Class 6 (model number: SDSDQY-032G-U46A).

Hi !

It is possible that you port an iphone-like Firmware to galaxy S ?

For example, there is the Gooapple Device's ROM or the AEDesign ROM for HTC Legend and HTC Desire, but this UI was ported to Galaxy Ace.

Read before posting : If you want to say : "If you want an iphone Ui, buy an iphone". I answer : "No because I love Android (open-source, highly customizable, and ...) and i love iphone UI (only)"

I hope some of recognized Devs. can make that.

If you can't understand it, don't post ! I don't want to open the old debate. It's only a request
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Well, being on android means you're able to have customization option even if that means wanting an iphone UI. That said, well, you'll need to be more specific with what you want. Espio Launcher and MIUI iphone theme are the best you'll get at the moment.

Yet iOS and android are totally different systems. Those options make it android look like and iphone so if that still doesn't cut it for you, you'll need to start pointing out what's wrong with those and tell people what would you like to see changing. You'll agree just saying "it's still not enough" and "it's not the same" is really vague.

And you'll need to understand if people are on android then most likely they aren't the biggest iphone fans. That's usually even more true for android developers. Seeing as the iphone UI is far more limited than android's and not really an improvement on utility over the best android launchers i'm not sure if anyone will take up your request.

You're free to ask though and i wish you the best of lucks. :) As for me, if i had to have anything from the iphone the only thing i'd ask would be it's responsiveness to touch. I'd have nothing from it's UI though, but that's just me.
