[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungd700:
Ok I had to do the following inorder for it to work on my windows 7 x64 bit

I download the samsung epic 4g driver samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi

I then used 7zip to extract the file

I then used the msi file and installed it

I then used 7 zip and extracted the samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi file to a directory

I then DISABLE ALL INTERNET ACCESS ON THE LAPTOP BY TURNING OFF WIFI AND OR PULLING THE LAN CABLE OUT THE PC.

I then plug the phone into the pc usb slot

let the pc find the drivers

if it does not find them point to the extracted directory you did above and it will be good.

now do ##8778# and place the bottom into pda and if it cant find drivers point it to the extracted directory.

now turn phone off and go into download mode 1 key and power button and let windows find the drivers
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neminem_:
Oh... my... god. I spent hours today trying to figure out how to get this phone I picked up to show me its sd card as a drive. Everyone on the internet seemed to be saying it was the lack of the right drivers, though they all disagreed on what the right drivers were. I tried so many different drivers, no luck.

That above, that I quoted: all it took. Why would it possibly be misconfigured out of the box in such a weird, impossible-to-locate way? Jeez.

(Anyway, I know I'm bumping a super old thread with this first post, but I felt compelled not just to thank this person for restoring my sanity, but also to bump up this thread's relevance for future googlers going as crazy as I was going.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WouterNL:
Hello,

I have a problem with my HD2 Android phone. I have installed Android on NAND. Everything works fine, but I can't install apps because I don't have any memory left. I have just installed 2 apps . If I want to play music, I have to delete all the Youtube data first.

I had tried an other Android NAND version before this one, but it froze at startup. I just installed a other NAND version and it works, but I did not delete the other version. Maybe that the problem? Can anybody help me out?

Thanks,

Wouter

This is the link for the instructions on how to properly install Android on NAND on HD2. I would start from scratch, making sure that you don't skip anything. With a little creative Googling, I was able to find a file called the 'HD2 Toolkit' that gave me all of the programs that I needed to follow the tutorial easily, and make the proper adjustments to my SDCard. Also, using App2SD is a VERY good idea. Although I personally did not run into the same issues that you are having, it seems to me that you've skipped a step somewhere. Good luck!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
To add to the above post, yea using ap2sd IS a good idea, most roms support it or a variant of it automatically,,,if they find an ext partition they will use it, so don't go thinking you need to install and configure it, its all automatic.

Hi. I've got MIUI build 111250 of Android 237, using MagLdr 1.13 and HD2 Toolkit. Despite the options in the HD2 Toolkit to increase the memory on the system partiton, I just can't get all of that memory. I think the best I got was about 300MB. Yes I use Apps2SD... thank God, but I've run out again and wish I could access that last 200MB. Can anyone advise on this?

BTW. I don't want To dual boot to Windows at all. Is there some way/requirement for deleting the Windows partiton? I've already done a wipe before doing the repartition.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
dont forget your system partition,. boot partition, cache partition, recovery partition dont show on teh total internal space. only the data partition counts towards it, so that 200 meg you mentioned will be those other partitions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evilpenguin:
Hi, guys,

I can't post in the dev forums, so I'm posting here.

I've just flashed the ICS rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1354267 on my HD2 and I've left 42 MB of space.

From my experience with my other phone, a Desire, that'll be gone in like a week, event if I don't install big apps, just the basics like Facebook, some data these apps store and so on.

Bottom line, I've formated my SD with an ext4 partition, but I was wondering which Apps2SD app is supported by ICS, as I've tried a few and none worked.

Thanks.

PS: and of course, the most crucial part is that I can't install Field Runners, because the market app says I don't have enough space. :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] xKrisx:
Ok, So I flashed dmans UCKK3 Rom and everything was great. I decided to flash the Stock Kernel back, extracted and flashed the zImage for stock Rom and borked my phone. It gets stuck at the Samsung Logo and goes no where.

So, I thought, easy fix. Pulled up my Heimdall One-Click and booted into Download Mode and flashed. Still, same problem, phone boots up to Samsung Logo and goes no further.

This pissed me off a little bit so I decided, if I can get back into Recovery, I would be golden. So I used Heimdall One-Click Defused to get CWM back. Well, that works, I have Red CWM.

Reflashed the UCKK3 Rom, after I wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik of course. Rebooted, and low and behold, stuck at Samsung Logo once more.

So now I am frustrated and pissed as this is my only phone currently, so I broke out the GTG Ultimate Unbrick, guess what now, I can't get Odin to recognize my device. Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Drivers multiple times, once from a direct download someone has posted in GTG's thread and Once from Kies, and Odin still will not detect my device, IE The Com##.

So, after a cup of coffee, I remembered some people were having issues due to there USB Cable, so I traded it out with several different ones I have from prior phones, didn't change.

So now I am stuck.

I can get into Red CWM. I can mount as USB Storage to drop any RoM I want to on my SD card. I can even enter Download Mode, however I can't get past the stupid Samsung Logo.

Any help is appreciated as I am currently stumped.

Thanks

[Samsung Infuse 4G] xKrisx:
I stated I could even get into Download Mode so a Jig is not going to do me any good.

on a side note, I finaly got it back up and running but I had to use Odin V 1.81 for it to recognize my device. Odin 1.7 wouldn't detect the Com Port for my phone. I am going to assume something happened to my Partitions. I ended up flashing the Kernel located in the Victory Rom forum included with Odin v 1.81. After about a 10 minute wait for it to Convert Partitions it finaly booted up. Thank god.

So I am not running UCKK3 Rom with that Kernel and all seems to be well now. I literally stayed up untill 5 AM fixing my damn phone, and the sad part is, I am still not sure wtf I did to begin with lol.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] xKrisx:
@ xIC-MACIx

Thanks lol..

@ bignate78

And that was my problem in the end. The Rooted / Deodexed / Zipaligned Rom for UCKK3 was originaly on Entropy's Kernel. It uses EXT4 partitioning. When I flashed the original Kernel it uses RFS and well thats were things went wrong.

But what the most unusual thing was, Odin V1.7 would not recognize the COM## port for my phone so I could not use Odin originaly. I was searching and getting pissed when I found the .zip in Victory Rom that contained an upgraded Odin and low and behold it work.

Your best bet is to backup your EFS partition via ADB,

adb shell

su

then get a buddy who is using Galaxy Ace on the same network as you to install Clockworkmod. Get him to backup his stock ROM.

Now you copy and paste that backup file into your Galaxy Ace and you restore using his backup. Restore your backup EFS file using Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyase9:
Hi,

Anyone out there with experience of Android updates to older phones and how well they handled it.

I ask because I want to know about the Galaxy S2 and how well we expect Android 4.0 (ICS) to be implemented.

Of course, it will come out at some point, but my primary concerns are whether it will add to the battery power needed burden to make things run smoothly as it will retrofit the S2 hardware.

I also want to know how easy it is likely to be to replace the on screen buttons with the S2 hardware buttons, as this will be a waste of screen space on the S2 if it is still to pop up there above the hardware buttons.

Any help and other thoughts on the matter will be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
To say anything on how it will be implemented on the S2 would be pure conjecture. No one knows yet.

Its still in the middle of being ported/hacked over to our device, with no official Samsung ICS Roms released/leaked yet.

Regarding the 'on screen button' query, it would seem that ICS would detect capacitative buttons, and thus hide the on-screen buttons.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemefaulkner:
Hi,

First of all i wouldnt class a Galaxy S2 as an older phone, samsung have made a point of holding back on the Galaxy Nexus hardware so it doesnt outdo there own flagship model.

Yesterday, I compared a Galaxy Nexus to my Galaxy S2 running the ICS alpha and was slightly disappointed that the Galaxy Nexus screen didnt look any different to my GS2 both in screen real estate and screen clarity.

I doubt very much ICS will reduce battery life as the hardware acceleration should help matters as there will be less reliance on the phone CPU to draw things the GPU can draw easily.

The onscreen buttons can be easily disabled and dont offer anything that the GS2 hardware buttons dont. If anything the GS2 has the advantage of a menu button which you dont get on the Nexus and until the majority of apps put a software menu button on their apps it's going to cause issues, i thought that the software buttons would be more intellegent and add a menu button for legacy apps but they just seem to stay the same buttons all the time. I know paul o'brian has done a custom mod for this so hopefully google with do the same.

I personnally am happy with my GS2 hardware, the issue for me is software and whether i can wait for 4.0 either official or unofficial.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
There actually IS a "virtual menu button" for those apps who use the menu.

But it's rather small and easy to miss.

It's on the far right, looks like three dots above each other, I could use all "old" apps I tried so far with it and effectively not using the "real" buttons at all.

I hope if ROM cooks tend to remove the on-screen buttons, they keep an option to re-enable them, 'cause I really like them :)

(and they are NOT showing up in the SDK emulator, so it does seem to have some kind of detection.)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sim-value:
ICS does not show the Virtual Buttons on devices with HW Keys.

Thats an absolute, 100% given, please stop discussing about it.

The Galaxy S II has a better GPU and a CPU I'd call Equal with the one of the Galaxy Nexus, also the screen has a way lower resolution, so it might even run smoother than on the Galaxy Nexus,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyase9:
But what about future apps.....if they are built to a standard 720p resolution, then will the Samsung galaxy S2 suffer then compared to the Nexus which has similar spec - ie do you think we will get new apps that will run better on a 720p screen which looks likely to be more standard in all future high spec phones ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiSL:
In my opinion, Galaxy S2 will perform much better on ICS than Gingerbread, considering ICS will actually utilize DUAL-CORE efficiently, rather than just burning battery on two-cores just to work one-core...

It's like XP before & after SP2 :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazykat:
You are trying to find a future-proof a device. Well - it ain't gonna work. Technology moves at a quick pace. At most - I can say GSII may work super well with all apps (and games) until a point when it has become the standard for all screen resolutions to be 720p or 1080p or 9040p. This may be in 2 or 3 years.

Besides, an app developer would make their app compatible with all devices UNLESS they intended it to run purely on a certain resolution.

Nexus phone isn't better than the GSII by the way. It just has ICS on it. =/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyase9:
Thanks for all of you inputs guys.

Sounds like the GS2 will work as well with ICS if not better.

It also comes across that although the screen size if the GS2 is smaller than the GNex, it is more or less cancelled out seeing as the GNex has to use some screen for the virtual buttons at the bottom, wheras the GS2 will not have to use any screen on this.......therefore negating the screen real-estate difference.......right ?

Then it only comes down to resolution between the two.

For a much lower resolution, the GS2 still looks amazing to the eye, which makes me wonder what the real worls advantages will be of the higher resolution screen on the GNex.

Could it be the web page layout or looks when they load up ?

Could it be noticed when playing media ?

I am not sure anymore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolutiontheory:
Ideally the resolution advantage comes into play during

1. Browsing, especially while reading small text as very small letters can be drawn accurately.

2. Pictures will be more clearer, especially some wallpapers do ask for more resolution.

3. Video playback

Altogether everything will appear more smooth and clear. So a welcome thing this resolution is. But nexus has pentile display and there are chances this might offset the resolution advantage mainly during text diaplays
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyase9:
I agree with the last comment to an extent. But we are talking about a phone screen with hundreds of pixels already.

To the normal user in the real world, do you still think that applies ? Ie the text might be a little clearer, but is it not darn clear already on the lower GS2 resolution ?

And wallpapers - even if it was origianlly a 720p picture and the GS2 resizes it, would the average guy out there be able to distingush ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
