Get an mhl adapter so you can output to TV so you can see

Or use adb to pull files
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Brings up an interesting question, because I live in fear of something like this happening to me.

Is there anyway to tell the phone to access the "sdcard" that is ACTUALLY the sdcard? I have several apps that save important data, but they save it to "sdcard" and there is no way to change the path within most apps.

I hate having to make constant backups manually because at any moment all my data could be lost because this phone doesn't actually use the ACTUAL sdcard for data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
What kernel do you have? I assume you are rooted, download and install busybox via the market place on the PC, it will push to your phone. (so you are sure to have it installed).

Then download and use qtadb.

Hey all,

I know they used to have $5 for 250, $10 for 500, then $20 for unlimited. But today, I checked, they've changed to $10 for 1000 and $20 for unlimited.

Can someone check their accounts for me?

Thanks. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bfinleyui:
Can anyone recommend a faster charger? The wall charger still takes upwards of 3-4 hours to charge, was hoping there was something that puts out some more power.

How many amps does the stock charger put out/how much can the phone 'handle'? (Sorry, I've never messed around with circuits and electronics like that, I'm not sure what the correct terms are)...

For example, http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-reVIVE-Dual-Charger-iPad/dp/B003N7NO4Q that car charger has a 2.1a socket, meant to charge the ipad, would that, in theory, charge the sgs2 quicker than a standard car charger, putting out ~1amp?

edit: realized this is better suited for the accessories forum, feel free to move.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
I believe the wall charger is the fastest charger that we have available. I could be wrong, but I haven't found anything faster.

If you turn off your phone and throw it on the wall charger, it will charge faster as the phone is not on to use any battery... but thats probably not what you're looking for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Your best bet would be to buy an extra battery and external charger and just swap the batteries when they are low. Thats what I do, and its much better than keeping your phone plugged in most of the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Our phone has an internally set 650 mA charge current limit - adding a beefier charger won't do anything.

It doesn't help that Samsung put in a crippled charger chip in our device with nonadjustable current, instead of using the more capable one already present in the MAX8997...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
and even if the phone lets it charge faster, you really dont want a charger that charges too fast. I'm pretty sure that will murder the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bfinleyui:
Thanks for the answers, all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
This is fine for "emergencies," but swapping batteries will throw off your battery stats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
How would swapping batteries thow off battery stats? It seems like everything resets once you boot up with the new battery, and isn't battery charge read off the raw voltage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RocketSled:
Lithium Ion batteries require a very particular two-step charging procedure. The battery has to be charged at constant current until the voltage rises to 4.2V, and then it needs to be charged at constant voltage (4.2V) until the charge current drops to about 10% of its starting value.

The amount of current allowed in the CC phase is a function of the battery's chemistry and capacity. It's expressed as some multiple or fraction of "C", the capacity of the battery. A 1C charge rate on a 1000mAh battery is 1A. The large LiPo batteries I use for my RC Heli and Airplane fleet will charge at 5C, for some of them this is better than 10A. But Li-Ion batteries usually can't tolerate more than 1C (and they usually charge at half that rate since this makes them last longer).

The harder you push the charge rate, the faster you wear out the battery and the more likely it is to fail. If you exceed the maximum charge rate, the battery is very likely to fail catastrophically (failure = fire). I charge my big LiPo batteries in a fireproof box for this reason.

My advice is, leave the phone's charging circuit alone unless you know what you're doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
Sure, it reads raw voltage. But the top end and bottom end worsen as the battery ages, and batterystats.bin doesn't know where those values are for a given battery until it's seen them. The system wasn't really designed to take into account the user swapping in multiple batteries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Huh... I'll let you know in a year how this battery swapping thing goes then. But wouldn't wear be the same on both batteries if I just swap them daily?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rg400smarttowel:
I did this with my captivate where I would swap batteries everyday. Much better than charging if you ask me.

Does anyone know what programs I need to install roms. And kernels on this infuse by Samsung..also how do you do it? I really need someone to tell me how with full detail! Is it to much to ask without someone sending me a stupid link?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Perpetrator:
Don't complain about "stupid links." Surprisingly, people don't want to take the time to explain things that have already been explained. Look in the development section, look for infused 2.2.3. There is a detailed guide on how to initially flash a custom kernel then install roms.

Thank you....+20
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theraffman:
I bought my infuse with zero android experience and was flashing custom roms with in 2 or 3 days. All I did was search, read and educate myself. The rescources are everywhere, you will save time and learn more and get a custom rom installed faster if you do like thousands upon thousands of us have done before you... Search.

I dont want to sound like an ass, i know where you are, cause i was there once to... But if you cant figure out how to flash a rom on your own, considering the countless threads, videos and rescources, then maybe you are safer sticking with stock. Cause when you do brick your phone, you will again have to figure out how to fix it.

In the time you posted and waited for a reply you could have figured it out on your own.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Don't want to sound rude or mean, but this is one reason many many devs are leaving the infuse forums -- people unwilling to read, being impatient and being pushy.

Hi,

I'm stuck on a bootloop after firmware flash with LG tool. How can I recover that phone by using the download mode?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Try clearing dalvik-cache in Recovery. If it doesn't help, wipe data/factory reset using Recovery.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] s-u-f-f-e-r:
1. remove the battery, sim card and sdcard from the phone

2. press the vol-buton and put your usb cable into the pc

On the screen must see Download mode.

3. Open the KDZ Upgrader (first start windows enabler and do not forget to start both programs as Administrator if you are using Windows 7)

4. Maximize KDZ Upgrader on the whole screen

5. In left menu choose 3GQCT

6. In right menu CS_Emergency

7. If everything with drivers is ok - Start flashing your phone. After the process complete see on the screen sign to put the battery in the phone.

I hope that this is your question about :)

Sorry for my bad english!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] blackhead2048:
Don't have recovery. Can only access download mode.

Thank you for your help. I'ill try that. Can I flash the original stable Firmware with KDZ? Where can I get it? Just found a lot of custom Firmwares...

What is windows enabler???
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] andreas__:
windows enabler ist for the kdz flashertool in german language . if the buttons to click are grey it *should* help... you can use the english languaged flasher instead it its working better for me on win 7 64 bit :) without enabler
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
Wrong forum.

Supposed to be in general to keep this forum clean.

Anyways just flash a fastboot and then flash a new custom rom!

[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Ok this might be stupid and maybe not even worth it's own thread, but I know I'd have been very glad to have this little tip that has worked very consistently for me...

Kill all running tasks!

I had tried both temp-root packages and was having really bad luck getting it to work. Sometimes I would have to reboot and try 10 times to get it to take. Then I thought about what someone said (it was either Joel or Nils) about why we are losing root even without a reboot, he said that SU was force closing. It occurred to me that maybe it's not crashing, so much as it's being closed, maybe because the Rezound seems to be very agressive about auto-starting junk apps... maybe it sees SU as lower priority and kills it to make room in the RAM for other apps we could care less about.

With that in mind, I figured I would kill EVERYTHING before running the temp root. This has now worked for me five times in a row, where I get temp root on the first shot. It doesn't make root last any longer... I still lose root without a reboot, but it's better than having to reboot numerous times to get temp root back again.

Also, now that we know we can freeze apps with titanium (which I'm about to do), maybe if we freeze enough bloat apps the phone won't kill SU so easily?

Hope this helps someone...

By the way, when I say kill everything, I mean even system apps, everything. I just System Panel, I hit End All and select all five levels of task killing up to System Apps...
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Can't wait to give this a try. Thanks!

Update: didn't help. But thanks anyway.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
+thanks. I will give that a try when I pick the phone up on Wednesday.
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
Where do u find system panel and these five stages?

I'm living on a yellow submarine
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
system panel is in the market, but I imagine almost any task manager would work fine, main thing is you want it to kill EVERYTHING possible, even Sense. System panel leaves only about 10 things running, things that can't be killed. The idea is to free up as much RAM as possible to keep the phone from killing SU as soon as it's installed. This has now worked almost ten times in a row for me... it hasn't failed once since I started doing this.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Great job this helped a lot!

Another thing that helped me, is using "HTC Sync" instead of charge only.
[HTC Rezound] FcoT:
this sure helped me! I have been failing for two days now. THANKS!

a little note, if you leave system panel, sense will kick back on, so run the exploit after killing all the process, but do not exit out of the system panel:D
[HTC Rezound] MikeJ92YJ:
Don't Run As Administrator. Only Way It Works For Me.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
FYI all, I don't out the phone in HTC Sync mode, and while I do run as administrator on my Vista machine, the laptop I use at work is xp and I don't do run as admin there. It also didn't matter if I let Sense restart after running the exploit. So I didn't find any of that extra stuff necessary. It has worked every time over a dozen times now since I started killing all apps before running it.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Cool, might of worked for you, but it didn't for me... I had to turn on HTC sync.

This thread seems to be about what has worked for people that couldn't root normally... Just adding what I had to do, as it might help someone else...
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
Holy crap dude you're a genius. Worked for right out of the gate! I was only able to get root once before, this worked without flaw first time. You rock!
[HTC Rezound] FcoT:
Killing everything helped get root, but Sense would shut down my superuser within 5 minutes. I dusted off Launcher Pro, and now my root is staying in place, so far, over two hours. Thanks for the advice man!
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
I'm glad this seems to be working for everyone. I have not had one failed root attempt since doing this, probably 20+ times now. But yeah root doesn't tend to stick long. it was long enough to freeze all the bloatware and make a good titanium backup, so I'm happy :)
[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
This worked perfectly for me finally. I attempted the normal temp root methods and it never seemed to work. Killing everything first did work. I rem'd out the SU install and pre-loaded SU from the market then ran the batch.

I was able to freeze bloatware, and restore my favorite apps from my Dinc. Happy dance.

The only :? was that on my last app just after it finished restoring my Phone rebooted most ungracefully but everything I had done was preserved. The phone only rebooted once and I can find nothing wrong with it so I am accepting that as a "oh well".

So thanks for this extra post explaining the Kill All method. I appreciate it greatly.
[HTC Rezound] mustbepbs:
This also worked wonders for me. Just got done freezing bloatware, and let me tell you, this thing absolutely soars after freezing. I've noticed it taking significantly less time to launch apps and even switching from portrait to landscape seems to be quicker. I can't even imagine the speed we will achieve once we have some roms to work with.

Rock on devs, this thing is worth it.
[HTC Rezound] narcco:
Here is an idea, can someone make a temp root that will run from the phone so that it can be done from anywhere and not tied to a computer
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Try Gingerbreak.apk and let us know
[HTC Rezound] Itismetravis:
tried it....no go for me. any other way?
[HTC Rezound] jermaine151:
I tried making one but the phone won't allow the exploit to be copied to the phone via a shell script or terminal emulator. :( ADB somehow circumvents that.
[HTC Rezound] WorldOfJohnboy:
Quick question: Will Temp Root work better in Safe Mode? (though, I'm not sure if you can run Titanium/MyBackup in Safe mode to do anything with it)

It was just a thought I had since Temp Root only seems to work for those that have nothing running in the memory.
[HTC Rezound] crdnilfan:
I'm very close to getting one to work, I'm now stuck on android permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml. The zergRush exploit fails at the line

if ((sock = socket_local_client("vold", ANDROID_SOCKET_NAMESPACE_RESERVED, SOCK_STREAM)) < 0)

(line 226 of zergRush.c).

This is the 3rd permission error, I've found manifest permissions to fix all the others, just not this one. Any help would be wonderful!

Everything else is built into the apk though, and once I get this figured out the app SHOULD be good to go!

EDIT--- Oh ya, the error :/

[-] Error creating Nydus: Permission denied

UPDATE-- I'm getting kicked out of the dorms for break tomorrow, so I'll have some free time, I think I might get it working if I can get the actual exploit to compile, we'll see.

If anybody has some C knowledge, that'd be a huge help!

Stay the HELL AWAY from those people!

I to saw the amazing prices BUT after doing some basic research - look around the web, just Google them and you'll find out. I, at first hurried to grrab that price, finally caught them yanking my chain. :mad:

If you call and ask questions after a while they don't even bother to pick up the phone - however - if you call from a different phone number they'll immediately answer. Once they recognize your voice they promptly hang up and your left talking to air before you realize you've been had! :eek:

Presently the best deal is at L2D2.com. They were somewhere in the neighborhood of $753 or so last time I read a post, which was yesterday.They also sell quite a bit of them - so I'm told - so having them in stock may be an issue. If you can wait it out that seems to be the best deal at the moment. You might want to check at Clove.co.uk too. It's around the same price, they have stock, and you get a cool flip-over case with it for free.

Good luck though and happy hunting!
