So my battery has been acting goofy, by this I mean charging it over night and pulling my phone of the charger and it being at 0%. My USB port works fine. My phone LED would light up but my battery would show discharging via battery monitor app, so this led me too believe my battery was effed. So I took it to my local sprint store they tested it and said it was fine. The rep gave a battery and said try this I don't have any to sell and gave me a opened battery and went on his way, not even 2 minutes later another rep came out and I explained what happened going into more detail about my phone being rooted and I thought the sbc kernel may have overtime caused my battery to go but I just had it tested and it's fine. He asked if I would like a battery and I replied I just received one from the other rep but if you would like to give me another I would love it and he did.so if you need a battery try your local sprint store first I had all intentions of paying for one. I am very happy I received two batteries for free but what's going on with my phone charging it's still a mystery, I have read similar post with batteries not charging and it seem's we all used v6 scripts, I'm not saying that's the culprit, just that it is a common factor in the equation,	I use and will continue too use v6, feel free to give advice if anyone has an answer to my charging issues, this post was just to help save someone a couple bucks if they were about to buy another battery.

I could use a free battery!
[EVO 4G General] F1u|}:
Nice find!! Good looking out, I'll have to ask next time I'm in the store. Worst case scenario, I still have only one battery!
[EVO 4G General] Mohawka:
My evo does that too. Wat I started doing was putting the battery in my old hero and charge then it works fine for a while then i repeat as required.
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
Mine acts goofy like that when it fully discharges. I just use battery monitor widget to monitor the voltage till it hits around 4 volts then ill unplug it and let it reboot (phone will auto shut down cause it thinks its dead) once it boots its usually fine
[EVO 4G General] sickboy82:
Yeah I tossed it in my wives EVO to charge it a few times, Since I have a plethora of batteries now I ordered a charging station for that reason, on the other hand my phone has been charging fine though, thanks for the suggestion.
[EVO 4G General] iwin2000:
i went to my sprint store today and asked for the free batteries and I just got weird looks from the two employees i talked to, they told me they don't give out any free batteries, so i just left sort of embarrassed for asking. thanks a lot dude
[EVO 4G General] Febby:
Lmao! Dude you can't just ask for free batteries! You've got to have an issue perhaps, flunk around with them, tell them it discharges or doesnt act good anymore.
[EVO 4G General] supergear:
Ha ha ha ha is all I have to say
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
haha yea you can't just go in and ask for a free battery. The OP got really lucky, as batteries technically aren't covered under the phone's warranty.
[EVO 4G General] spyd312:
If you have insurance with best buy, you get a free battery replacement. I've had to get my EVO replaced and had no issues with filing a claim. So paying the 9.99/month has paid for itself in the long run.

[EVO 4G General] jonschenk:
Too funny. My phone was rebooting randomly about a month ago. Went to sprint store, ran some test, replaced the battery. Still rebooting randomly. 2 weeks later went to a different sprint store, told them the same story. Replaced my phone for free. Phone its rooted but they didn't seen to care.. Go figure.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
How is that a funny story? Is it under warranty?

Ha I tried this after reading a slickdeaks.net post. The sprint sales guy was befuddled. He told me all returned batteries are sent back to the warehouse or something. I have heard of people getting lucky though. I guess YMMV.

[EVO 4G General] sickboy82:
Sorry if I some way made you look like an ass. Let me clarify this is not some promotion sprint is running. I told the reps I was having issues charging, they tested my battery it was fine, however they gave 2 batteries that were obviously used, but work fine, since sprint is pushing the 3d my store in cranberry township PA outside of Pittsburgh, does not stock the regular EVO 4g batteries anymore, but have plenty from phones that were turned in for warranty repair, maybe I false advertised, however with the right choice of words and common sense you may get lucky and walk out with a used battery. I got lucky and received two.

[EVO 4G General] all_about_droid:
depends on the charger you are using my friend....i have found that the only charger that will charge mine is the htc one that came with the htc aria...(weird yes) but its like its an industrial charger lol charges my evo in 20 minutes to 100% and holds steady for 3 days of hard use....my ex wife has the evo shift and is going through the no charge phase using a motorola charger....will be on for 3 hours and only be at 20% but as soon as she hooks it to mine charges in 20 mins to 100% and holds....so just get you the usb charger (feels like hard rubber) has the wall base that says htc on it and you should be ok (dont hold me to it) lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stormer99:
I have Revolution HD and CWM installed on my Transformer, the problem is it won't encrypt the tablet. When I try to encrypt it, a Green Android robot pops up then the system reboots. I've seen this question asked a couple times but no answer or response was ever given. I would have posted this under the Revolution HD development thread but due to forum rules I couldn't. If anyone can tell me if this is broke or how to get it working it would be greatly appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
This has been answered

Pretty much the answer i got is that encryption wont work untill icys and that it was never really thought out properly and was rushed.

I also got told a whole bunch of stuff like how it wasnt worth doing and why would you want to put in 2 passwords etc etc

You can probably find it under all the tf 2 mess lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stormer99:
How disappointing. Do you know if this bug is applicable to just Revolution or all the Honeycomb ROMs?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Apparently it works on some over devices but was flawed from the start with the tf honeycomb build and seeings that all our devs have to work off the stock rom they are inherantly flawed also as far as i understand.

I did hear of a few people getting it to work but then there clocks kept reseting to gmt or other wierd stuff happening so i dont think its worth it untill we have icys.

Mindew icys has facial recognition and if you have lookout or mobile security etc they have remote wipe so it may end up a pointless exercise.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It means that the android kernel is protected by GPL laws. Which means the source code has to be made available. MIUI breaks these laws and refuses to post the source. So all MIUI roms have to have a custom kernel not made by the MIUI team.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Wow, finally! I always thought it was crazy that all developers were forced to immediately release their source code, while MIUI was worshipped by everyone and nobody said anything about source code. This is definitely a good thing IMHO...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shafty:
I don't get why the android police are closing all the s2 threads when miui is being discussed in many other forums and threads on XDA? Isn't it ironic that those closing the threads because miui won't be open are themselves limiting free discussion? Fair enough, don't link to the roms, people know where they are if they want them, but surely discussion of said roms should be allowed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If you want to disscuss the rom feel free to do it on the roms site.

The threads were closed due to breaking XDA rules. Plain and simple.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraiulLup:
I flashed the CM7 from freexperia to test a different ROM on my LT15i. Loved it but it was a heavy toll on my battery so decided to go back to stock ROM for now. But I am hooked on that CM7 status bar where I had those wi-fi/bluetooth widgets.

Any way to get that statusbar from CM7 on my stock ROM? Maybe as an apk or something?

Thank you in advance!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
New to Android, about 3 weeks now with my Rogers 1727R. I've been trying to grab all the good files and build my understanding of returning my phone to it's stock ROM if I have to return it or if I brick it etc. But I seem to have downloaded, from this forum, so many files, with different names and files sizes, I'm confused about what does what. So I'm asking any senior people here if they can tell me what I have, what it does, and whether I need it. Here goes:

Stock_ROM_SGH-I727R-UCKJ2-k0nane.7z - Think this is a stock ROM but un-bloated. It's 257 MB.

i727_stock_kernel_odin.tar - It's 10 MB, appears to be a stock AT&T ROM, but perhaps just the kernel, not the whole ROM?

Stock Recovery.tar - It's 6.08 MB. Downloaded it today.

Nandroid backup - 841 Megs with data.ext4.tar, system.ext4.tar, boot.img and recovery.img which I thought was a complete image of my ROM.

Look at the size differences. From 6 MB up to 841 MB. What the heck are all these files?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
the .7z file is a 7zip archive of the stock UCKJ2 rom...you would need to use 7zip to extract the contents before flashing with ODIN

the .tar file you listed is indeed just the kernel, not the entire rom, and it is from the AT&T version

stock recovery.tar is exactly that. its the stock recovery to replace clockwork mod should you need to return to that.

your nandroid backup is the entire system, a direct image of everything you had on your phone when you created it. this includes all settings, installed apps, etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
So let's say I wanted to get back to my ROM the way it was the day I bought it. The Nandroid backup was done after rooting the day I bought it. So if I uncompressed the .7z file, is that what I would flash to get me back to square one, or the Nandroid backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
the nandroid will get you back to the way YOU set it up. it wouldnt do squat for getting it back to stock.

the 7z file should take you back to stock.

its not complicated, you are just overthinking it.

a nandroid backup is YOUR backup, nobody elses. its an image of YOUR phone as YOU set it up. if you made the nandroid after rooting, and you restore from the nandroid, you will still have root, because its a direct image of your rooted phone. it will include all your settings, installed apps, and configurations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
That is very helpful. Last question.

What is a Stock Recovery file? You referred to it, and I see it's a rather small file, so it's not a ROM or Kernel. The name makes it sound like it's my stock ROM.

I know it has to do with CWM.

Any edification would be helpful.

Please keep questions in the Q&A section.....Thank you. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
No recovery is not the rom. Recovery is like if u owned a computer around 1995 you had ms dos and windows well dos would allow you to make changes to windows that would not affect dos. Pretty much same thing. Recovery is where you flash the roms from but the roms do not change recovery. Cwm is clock work mod recovery . If you used odin to flash stock firmware tar tht woukd change your recovery from cwm to the stock recovery but i do now see we have a recovery tar where u can just flash the recovery tar but not the entire stock firmware tar.... to be honest id suggest doing alot of reading before you start messing with these things

1) Does someone know, if i will be able to use 3G connection with the European Networks?

2) And which languages are included in the Firmware? only english and spanish or some more?

3) you know we germans have some special letters so what happens if you long press the following letters? do you get an option to write the following?

If you follow the link DistrictDigital provided to the keymapping request thread, you will see that Paitor made Swedish keys available.

Since Paitor went ahead and described his process, the same can be done for German, or any other language.

Germanic languages are already supported by the soft keyboard.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone_Capone:
The app that TrevE wrote was meant for the Evo 3D and other HTC phones, so I wouldn't trust the results.

The bottom line here, fellas, is that without doing a butt-ton of work to find the traces of these files, we have no idea if this program is there or not. This article seems to make me think that Carrier IQ was included, even in previous AOSP Roms.

I personally am not going to worry about it too much. I know people want their privacy and all, but there is so much of this going on that privacy is just an idea now-a-days.

Just my 2 cents.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone_Capone:
The following was just tweeted by droid_life:

"Oh lord. So today's rumor is that the Galaxy Nexus is delayed on Verizon because of Carrier IQ? #massivefacepalm"

"And when I say facepalm, that's because Verizon doesn't use Carrier IQ and no way in hell would a Nexus have it. Come on folks"

Also, this was posted...

So, in short, no. Carrier IQ is not on our phones.

Is it possible to port kernals from i9100 forum to our device? They have so many different kernals and mods that we don't have and it would be nice to get them ported to our devices. Entropy has done as Fantasic job with hellraiser and it have given is the ability to port a large number of roms over in the i9100 forums. The only thing that we are missing that would complete the merge between our device and the i9100 would be kerenls. Is this possible? What are the hardware differences that would cause a problem when trying to do so? Obviously the soft keys and mapping are different but we have a fix for that. Is the processor the same? Any devs out there on our side have any feedback on this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Mainly a few defconfig tweaks, and also possibly initramfs tweaks.

It should be a matter of taking a defconfig for an I9100 and changing the correct options via "make menuconfig" - don't remember exactly which those are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
I am not sure i know what that involves but how difficult would that be
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
I've had this phone for a few weeks now and I've been rooting for only 3 weeks and its the greatest mobile experience of my life. The freedom of Android and the versatility and power of rooting makes the SGS2 the all around greatest phone on the planet in my opinion. I'm currently using Unnamed 1.3.1 with Entropy's DD and this combo has been an awesome experience so far. I recently experimented with the Siyah kernel (I9100) and loved the variation of governor choices and the power that the kernel provided. I'm also a huge fan of Entropy's kernel because of the great balance of performance and battery life, however when OC to 1.4 or 1.6, the Siyah kernel provided so much more power based on bench tests. After experimenting for an hour I went back to Entropy due to the issues with the soft keys. If a port of the Siyah kernel is not coming any time soon to the AT&T i777, does anyone know of a patch or mod that can fix the issue with the soft keys when using a kernel like Siyah that's made for i9100 on our AT&T i777 ? Any help or feedback on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
There is already a patch for this included in Hellraiser package that Entropy made. There is also a patch for the home button haptic feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Sorry if I sound really dumb asking these questions as I'm definitely a noob when it comes to rooting. However, isn't Hellraiser a rom for i777? So if I want to use the Siyah kernel with the soft key patch it would have to be with Hellraiser? The reason I'm asking is because I really love Unnamed so far. Its my first rom and its so smooth and efficient. Also, what if I wanted to try out a particular rom for i9100 on our phone? Same soft key issue would arise right? It seems from the OP that a possible solution also has to do with Hellraiser. If this is true I'm confused as I thought Hellraiser is a particular rom for i777. Please elaborate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Hellraiser is a porting tool to take ROMs from I9100 to I777. Among other things, it replaces the kernel.

To get the touchkeys to work right when trying to compile an I9100 kernel for I777, at the very least you need to set "Target Locale" to NAGSM in the System Type menu within "make menuconfig"

You will also need to set CONFIG_MAX8922_CHARGER in the defconfig. I forget where in "make menuconfig" this is buried

You will also have to choose an appropriate initramfs - the one that comes with the kernel you're porting may work. Also, the approach various devs use for pulling in the initramfs differs from kernel to kernel. Many devs don't even provide their initramfs in their source repos (good luck pulling a clean one from SiyahKernel... LZMA/XZ compression makes this nearly impossible.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Thanks for the insight Entropy but I'm way too raw in rooting to grasp some of the stuff you are trying to explain. Also I want to say thank you for the awesome work on your daily driver kernel (which i'm happily still using). In regards to Hellraiser, what do you mean by "replacing the kernel"? Do you mean that Hellraiser will allow i777 users to use i9100 roms with a compatible kernel of their choice? Finally, what are the chances of some developers porting a i9100 kernel over to i777 like Siyah? Based on your previous post, it shouldn't take too long right? I believe this would breathe extended life and possibilities into the i777.
