Dont worry about software, this phone is fried already and noone is able to get anything from its memory. Give it for repair and pray :D

BTW why cant you try to open it by yourself?(just to check what happened :P) Samsung doesnt use any seals on their phones...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
Nop the phone is not fried, just the screen ( and the vibrate seems a bit ****ed up too but not completely ), all datas are still there and still accessible via adb. It's true that I'd like to open it myself and see what happened inside but I won't unless samsung send me a new device, I'm waaaaaaay too clumsy to open it without ****ing everything up around ( trust me, I had pretty bad past experiences with opening creative and HTC devices ).

Thanks for the link boias21 :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
For those who want to know the end of the story, here is what happened :

I called samsung, they asked me to send pictures of the device with an explanation of what happened (instead of giving me the address to get it fixed...). After a few days, no answer from them, so I called. They told me they would call me back the day after. 5 days after, still didn't call me, so I called them back. This time, they told me they sent me the address to get the phone fixed by mail, and that I should get it the next day. 3 days after, still nothing. Call them back, they sent it to the wrong address (.........), and they didn't wanna give me the address by phone. After insisting and spending 20 minutes on the phone with them, they let me talk to a supervisor who gave me the address, warning me many times that if they consider the device broken by my fault I'll have to pay, and if I don't want to, I'll have to pay to get my device back (............). I got really pissed, check the address on the internet and saw review from people who sent their devices to this address. First of all, it is not samsung who's fixing it, just some private company. Second of all, they make you pay, most of the time, weather it's your fault or not ( and devices get there more broken than when you send it pretty often ). Plus, you have to wait around 1 month to get your phone back. If they consider that it's your fault, they send you a bill that you have to pay and send back before they start fixing it (2 more weeks ?).

Got really mad, found the closest address from where I live to get it fixed, went there, and paid 180 euros (I know I could have done that for half the price buying the screen on internet and doing it myself but I suck at doing that kind of thing).

Samsung really suck on this, I think it's the one thing I really love about apple, your device is broken, you just go to the apple store, and you have physical contact with people.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Yeah I agree. I have an iPhone 4 as well and apple warranty is the best around. I have returned about 7 phones (not all mine) for various reasons and never even had to take an invoice or anything else with me. They just check for water damage and replace on the spot. 5 minutes later new (refurbished) phone. Try asking for warranty from Samsung without an officially authorised reseller invoice. Assholes.

hi

sorry for being such a nooby mcnooby-pants

but i just want to know which combination of roms and kernels will give me a great battery life and at the same time i want to be able to overclock to 1.5 GHz

i looked through the forums and i did all the basic stuff like

undervolting

setting profiles in setcpu

and removing all the bloatware from the phone

but everyone has a different combination and im really confused as to which combination to use

right now im using eaglesblood 2.3.7 with the dragon kernel and its really not working very well

so any and all help will be appreciated

thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
My opinion:

1. Jump on a stock-based ROM with stock kernel and UC (underclock to 900-800 Mhz, you would be surprised you notice very little change in performance). Most stock-based ROM users report back great battery life.

2. Jump on a CM7 Nightly 199 or higher (Reports of great battery life, I can attest to this) with morfic or faux123's kernel (I prefer morfic's) which you can undervolt easily with Pimp My CPU (search XDA). I prefer it to SetCPU because the only profile I use is UC when the screen is off and with Tegra's DVFS CPU governor, it already does a good job of doing this. I also UC with this setup.

Delete Wi-Fi Calling (Kineto.apk) from your phone if you're not using it. I learned this from lotherius, it's always running in the background even when off and not in use. I was shocked to see the improvement.

I know it sounds stupid, but if you're in class or at work and don't need a barrage of updates on your phone, just turn off data. Most ROMs have a quick toggle setting to efficiently turn it on and off quickly and you'll be quite happy with how long it lasts. If you have to have data on or think it's moronic to have an Android phone that's not does not always have a data connection, battery drain is just the price that is payed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Slomo5793:
woah.

Awesome answer :D

so do you think option 1 is better or 2?

does using cm decrease the battery efficiency?

if it does do you think the extra functionality in cm makes up for the batteryloss?

Thanks btw
[T-Mobile LG G2x] emir11553:
Try miui 1.11.4 from whitehawkx with faux kernel cm-4.4
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
Good question, and I think that is totally up to you.

For example, my father and I both own G2x's, he runs a modified stock ROM (xboarder's ROM) and I run CM7. Without a doubt he gets better battery life than me, but at the cost of not having the features I have.

That may be a rough way of putting it but yes, using CM7 with all it's awesome features come with the price of not being as battery efficient.

The real question is if being less "battery efficient" actually means it's a bad thing. In my case it doesn't matter to me at all. Using the quick panel toggles in CM7, I only turn on data when I need it and I easily pull 15+ hours a charge because of it, assuming moderate usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
Consider lotherius's tsugi rom, currently in version beta 3. It is my daily driver, stable, faster than 2.3.3 based roms, and excellent battery life. He has included a 2G toggle app that can automatically switch to 2g radio when screen is off to save lots of juice.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
My question is what tells the OS what the battery voltage and percentage is? Is this hardware on the mainboard or is it in the kernel? To understand why I ask then read this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353417

If its in the kernel then could it be possible to have a custom kernel built that will report the correct voltage for us tbolt users having this problem?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
So I reckon I'm stuck with half battery life?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drebbe:
Have you tried a different battery?

The charger IC is controlled through a kernel driver, once the battery hits a certain voltage it will stop charging.

Typically when these batteries start to die they will drop voltage a lot faster than normal (making it look like it didn't charge correctly).

I'd try using a different battery to see to see if the results are the same. If they are the same this IC is probably faulty.

This will show battery voltage in mV:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_vol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxslt1:
The battery isn't the problem. The phone actually charges the battery all the way it just doesn't read the correct voltage. It reads about .3 volts lower than what the battery actually is which makes the phone shut off .3 volts too early. Full charge is 4.2 volts and that's what the battery reads with a meter after an overnight charge but in the phone it only reads 3.9xx volts. It should shut off around 3.5 volts and it does but the voltage will actually be around 3.8xx when checked with a meter. See what I'm saying? It reads .3 volts lower in the phone.

What is IC and is possible to have a custom driver to offset for the wrong voltage being reported? This is a common problem with alot of tbolts. I tried PMing a couple kernel devs and got no response.

[Nook Color General] sstarch1:
Hi all,

I am taking off for a month long vacation to Asia and India soon and am having a tough time imagining my life without a functional computer... so, what better alternative (along with my 3G phone) than then Nook Color...

but...

One of the most appealing concepts to me would be to use the NC as an "uploader" of pictures I will be taking with my SLR.

So, can this be done:?

1. take out MicroSD card from Camera and somehow, with some adapter, connect via the USB port on the NC.

2. Use an app to mount/view the MicroSD storage unit and copy to the NC storage, some/all of the pictures i want.

3. Use the SmugMug Andoird App and WiFi via NC to upload pictures while I travel.

>> I guess i could do this via the the mobile phone I'm bringing, probably by swapping the memory card on the phone and using the same app, but i believe the larger screen size and easier text input would make the NC perfect for this.

Thoughts?

Thanks ahead of time.
[Nook Color General] JT75:
Check in the development section for the thread on usb host support. It tells you how to hook your camera to the nook with a usb cable, I've never tried it but a lot of people swear by it.
[Nook Color General] Tool Belt:
I have NC with CM 7.1 stable on EMMC. I am able to use an unpowered USB card reader to transfer pictures off both full sized and micro SD's. Other than being on CM7 the trick is getting the correct cable. Here is the one I use:

Micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) - Xoom, Galaxy S2, Nokia N810 / N900, Toshiba TG01, Archos G9. New Version with more accommodating "L" shaped connect

Off Amazon.
[Nook Color General] popsnorkle:
You'd probably be better connecting directly to your camera, if your camera can do it. For many things connected using USB host you need a powered hub, but since the camera has its own power it probably doesn't need the hub.

Check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17925389#post17925389

There's also at least one raw format decoder called RawDroid.
[Nook Color General] 511pf:
I haven't tried this, but I imagine you could use a microSD to SD adapter and just use microSD cards in your camera. Take the microSD out of the adapter, put it into the Nook and copy the photos over with a file manager. This would obviously cost you more money, as microSD (I believe) is more expensive than SD, but it would save you some hassle on the Nook side.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
There are few ways to get this done but b4 trying one, make sure you meet all requirement.

1. Some members suggest you swapping the uSD. It's a fastest way BUT make sure you are running CM7 off eMMC if you're booting it off the uSD itself, then forget about this method.

2. If you Tx pix directly from camera to NC, make sure you do have the microUSB-to-whatever your camera USB connector type: miniUSB or USB, cable.
[Nook Color General] sstarch1:
Awesome tips guys, thank you.

<<There's also at least one raw format decoder called RawDroid.>>

Can't imagine what that would be useful for unless all the shooting is done in RAW and you want to preview or something...

<<Micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) - Xoom, Galaxy S2, Nokia N810 / N900, Toshiba TG01, Archos G9. New Version with more accommodating "L" shaped connect >>

Great, being delivered tomorrow :-)
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
This is what I do. Micro-sdcard w/ adapter in my Canon. Pop the card out, and put into the NC (after first uninstalling the card I normally have in there).

view pictures, copy them to internal memory, etc.

As stated above, you must not be running CM7 off the sdcard for this method to work.

I think it would also be possible to plug a flash drive in using an OTG cable (w/ power) and backup to that as well - I haven't tried that yet.

If you wanted to run cm7, you should be able to do the opposite - sdcard into a reader plugged into NC using OTG cable (w/ power?) and then copy to the sdcard that you are running cm7 from.
[Nook Color General] andyrubin1:
wow im interested in this, but do we really need a otg cable? since cm7 comes with usb-host support?

btw can the nc supply enough power to the card reader? or a 1-to-2 splitter so that the nc can be charged at the same time?

and what apps are suitable for this kind of usage?

wow the ipad got something like this already: http://terrywhite.com/techblog/archives/7657

but ipad are much larger... needs a backpack, nc can fit in a large pants pocket.
[Nook Color General] Tool Belt:
That's the cable that works for me. Plenty of power for the card reader.
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
i also use a microSD to SD adapter in my camera, and pop the microSD to copy the files in the internal memory of the nook (then, as i am a freak about not loosing my pics, copy them from internal memory to 2 backup microSD's)

i dont know if it impacts in anyway in the performance of the camera, i shoot with a 12 megapixels canon powershot in jpgs and 720p videos. i'm not very exigent with the transfer rate of the card
[Nook Color General] andyrubin1:
it seems that quickpic (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder) is a good (and faster?) alternative to the built-in gallery.

what is needed... (for people who need to use a card reader) since the nook can only supply 100ma power...

1. a y-splitter cable (where can I find one? are there ready made ones?)

2. a usb charger

3. a microusb male to usb type-a famale

4. a card reader, of course
[Nook Color General] Tool Belt:
The cable I mentioned and a card reader work fine for me, no need for additional power.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Hey everyone!

I just came over from the n900 camp. :)

I bought the new Captivate Glide (SGH-I927) yesterday (from Rogers), and I'm loving it so far. It is my first Android phone, though I also have a rooted Iconia Tab a100.

I'm a *nix administrator and hope to be able to contribute something useful to this community.

At the moment, I'm trying to get root, but it looks like I'm the only person in the world with this device, so far. :) I've tried a few things, but I'm cautious as it seems Samsung hasn't released the stock firmware yet (annoyingly).

Patience, I know. Anyway, if anyone is interested, here are the phone details:

Android 2.3.5

Baseband: I927RUXKJ5

Kernel: 2.6.36.3

Build number: GINGERBREAD.RUXKJ5

If anyone's curious to know more about it, ask away. :)

If I do manage to find the firmware or get root, I'll post it here.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] studacris:
Try super one click to root.

i'm sure if that device is somewhat popular it will get its own dedicated forum soon.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ponyoninja:
Have you ever had the OG captivate? Just wondering if you like it better than the original. How is the keyboard and the performance? We just got a ICS port, maybe you shoulda got an og ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Trying, but I'm having a hard time getting ADB working under Windows. It's running in a virtualbox VM, so I guess that may be the problem. Still working on it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Nope. First Android phone.

I'm hoping ICS will make its way to this one eventually... right now I'd just settle for root. :)

Keyboard is okay. n900's was better. Performance is, well, for an ex-n900 user, unbelievable.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sscianna:
Got my Samsung Glide on Sunday at the AT&T store. They only received two of them and I was lucky enough to get one. I am coming from a Sony X10 which I rooted with Super One Click. I am afraid to do Super One Click on the Glide until others with more knowledge give it a try.

This phone is so much faster and the camera is 1,000 times better (even though the X10 was 8.1 MP).

The keyboard is why I bought it and so far, LOVE the phone!!! Would love it even more if rooted, so hopefully others have luck rooting it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Tried SuperOneClick; no luck. Looks like the kernel we're running is actually from Honeycomb and I guess they patched the vulnerability zergRush was exploiting.

This is really irritating, coming from the n900 world. Google should really clamp down on this whole anti-root nonsense. It is unbelievably customer-hostile.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ronj1986:
Got my wife a Glide on Sunday. Glad to see others trying to root like myself. Super one click did nothing for me also:-(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] shatteredzman:
+1 on rooting this thing. Its only been out for 2 days, but it doesnt seem like many people are getting the phone. It would help if we had our own forum.

Give zergRush a shot. That thing is rooting just about anything.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
zergRush doesn't work; I don't know much about it but I recall it being a kernel exploit, and the SGH-I927 uses 2.6.36.3 (I think the standard Honeycomb kernel).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] KyleTroy:
I'll be picking up my Captivate Glide tonight or tomorrow I think. Hopefully we can find a root. Doesn't look like many people are buying this device just yet. Hopefully we'll get a dedicated forum.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TheDave78:
I picked up one of these on Sunday when it became available (I have been waiting for this phone for months!).

This is now my 3rd Android phone on ATT (Moto Backflip, Moto Flipside, and now Samsung Captivate Glide).

You'll notice that every phone so far has had a physical QWERTY kb (I can't stand using touchscreens for typing).

I do have to say though, that this keyboard is my least favorite of the 3 devices (both the Moto's had a much better feel to the keyboards, sort of bubble buttons, not 100% flat like the kb buttons on the Glide).

The negative difference in the keyboard though is not enough to out-weigh ALL of the positives this phone has over the Moto's (CPU(!!!), screen size, camera, built-in storage, etc, etc). Not to mention getting Gingerbread(2.3) over Android 2.1!

Anyways, I too had looked briefly into rooting this phone, and I just began with looking for root programs for Android 2.3.5 (the Glides android version), and I could not easily find one, granted, I did not look all that hard.

I had/have previously rooted my previous 2 android phones though. And even installed the latest CyanogenMod onto my Backflip (that CPU was just TOOO SLOW, UGH...)

I would hope that a dedicated forum for this phone is coming, as it really has potential. I am holding off on the root search for now, and just looking for basics... like USB drivers / mass storage capabilities when hooked up to a computer.

Does anyone have some directions on this basic stuff?

Thanks!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Well, at least switching it to mass storage mode is easy:

Settings->Wireless and network->USB utilities->Connect storage to PC

I agree with you on the KB. It sucks. It's not unusable, but my n900's keyboard was way better. Still doesn't detract significantly from the overall awesomeness of the device.

... except the root issue, which is seriously aggravating.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ronj1986:
Your computer should automatically download the drivers needed for USB connectivity.....if that's what you were referring to.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gatormatt:
Have you guys tried the boog kernal??
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jwood55812:
I think the problem is no root access, hence no access to applications that would allow custom kernels to boot. Getting my g/f one in the coming weeks so hopefully development takes off!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
i guess your other option is to whip up a rooted stock kernel and drop it in through Odin/Heimdall. Thats what i used on my Galaxy S 2. Good Luck.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] GSMinCT:
I doubt there will be much dev action for the Glide, as they seem to have moved on to SGS II i777. Unfortunately for people who like physical boards, they are basically dead. Android started out strong for physical boards with the G1 and the DROID, but after DROID 2, no carrier has been carrying a flagship device with a 'board. Even the DROID 3, which is an impressive phone in it's own right, was already overshadowed by Verizon's 4G LTE, which currently doesn't have a high-end keyboarded device.

I wish they would keep going with physical boards, but I finally gave up hope and got an iPhone. My need for high-end phones is greater than my need for a keyboard, so I'm admitting defeat. :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] creasy425:
I was actually going in to att today to grab a sky rocket, and saw the glide by accident. As soon as I saw the physical kb, I was sold. Love the glide so far.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] studacris:
Wait...you wanted a high end phone and you went with one with a 1ghz dual core processor, 3.5" screen and only 512mb ram?

I think you did something wrong there somewhere.....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Welcome to the club!

I've been calling and emailing various groups at Rogers and Samsung trying to get ahold of the stock firmware, but no luck. See if you can extract it from AT&T.. :p
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TheDave78:
This is actually what I was looking for, and found after looking a while later!

I do find it VERY mis-leading to put the USB (wired) connection mode under the "Wireless and Network" Settings area, but whatever...

I too will be looking for the root method, which will hopefully be out soon.

Somewhat related here, while I was under the "Wireless & Network" settings, There was an option for:

Tethering & Portable Hotspot enabling!

The USB Tethering option appears greyed out, but the Hotspot Settings appear to be enabled.

This leads me to the question:

If I enable this hotspot method will ATT know that I am tethering in this manner?

I only need this option once an a while every few months, and certainly would not be abusing it. So I can not justify paying extra for the full-time tethering plan that they want people to sign up for...

Anyone have an idea on this?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ronj1986:
They will know either way. Tether was greyed out because you weren't connected to a computer @ the time.....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
I'm curious; how do they detect tethering? On my n900, my wifi hotspot util just added IP masquerade rules and set up ad-hoc networking, which I'm assuming would be quite difficult to detect.

Does the built-in android tethering tag packets or something?
