Are you running Windows 7, I had a nightmare with the usb drivers-even the Gordon gate one didn't work-I found the solution in the arc forum, sorry but I can't find the post I think users name was lollylops, check your device manager to see if you have s1boot driver problem if so then you need the different drivers
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Celluciano:
yes i'm running windows 7, and i've found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274199 and downloaded drivers for s1boot fastboot from that thread. Now, how do I install them? I've an x86 folder, ethernet, modem, usbwin, i386.... i've no idea, but i think we're close :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twentydeuce:
When I wake up and take my phone off the charger, it's always at like 98 or 97%. I have battery monitor and when looking at it, it shows that it gets to 100% through charging, then goes down to 98 or 97 and then stays at that state throughout the night.

Anyone else having this happen with their phone? With enough battery issues, it seems these 2 or 3% could be an hour of standby.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
When the phone hits 100% on the charger it doesn't charge anymore to prevent overcharging.. pretty common feature in most phones nowadays.. if it goes below a threshold it charges again until 100 and the process repeats
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dansan382:
same issue... my thunderbolt use to hit 100%, but the gnex stops at 99 or 98%. if i unplug the charger for few seconds, plug it back in and boom it goes to 100%

it should charge to 100% in the first place. another bug that needs to be fixed... hopefully the 4g gets fixed first cuz with this, i can live with.

The reason i want `100% is cuz its nice to see the 100% rather then 99%.

Hello... I installed the latest Legendary RC with the included Samauri kernel. I started with a clean wipe. I also installed GO Launcher EX (5x4 on Homescreens).

I LOVE this rom. Very snappy. However, I'm having 2 big issues.

1. The battery indicator has been erratic especially after reboot. It will show 60%, I'll reboot or restart and it will be at 20%. Has anybody else experienced this or is there something I can do to fix it?

2. I had all my home screens setup then when I restart sometimes the screens get messed up. Sometimes I will get repeat widgets and overlapping widgets. I fix it, reboot, and it may or may not get messed up again upon restart. Because it happens on restart I do not know if this is related to the above problem or if there is an incapatibility between GO 5x4 and Legendary?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first ROM so I'm a complete noob.

[Epic 4G General] lostrudy:
My phone took a swim in some water unfortunately. Everything about the phone works except for one crucial part. The power button is completely unresponsive. It half worked for a short while but now its completely useless. I had to download an app to turn off the screen instead of waiting for it to time out. I also had to download an app to reboot the phone since its good to do every so often. I'm trying to avoid paying the $100 water damage deductable to get it replaced. Problem is if my phone ever has the battery drained I won't be able to turn it back on. I highly doubt it but is there any other way of turning on the phone without the power button working? Or is it just FUBAR???

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathman85:
I know that one doesn't currently exist, but does anybody know if anyone's actually working on one? Given the age of the EVO 4G, I worry that developers no longer care enough to actually work on this, but it's something I desperately want. I haven't seen anybody talking about it in a while.

If nobody's working on one, I may start looking into how hard it'd be to develop my own (I have some comp-sci background, but being that it's limited, I know it'd be easier for someone else), or offer an incentive to some developers...

And before you say "AOSP!" I say "I love MikG!" I get fantastic battery life as it is, but it would be better if the battery was completely charged when I pull it off the charger. :) I'll switch to AOSP when ICS is stable on the EVO 4G (because we all know HTC is never going to push an ICS update for the EVO 4G, as sad as it is to say that).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncfastls1:
Wouldn't get your hopes up man. SBC is really the main thing I wanted out of the GB sense kernel (along with HAVS and such) but none of the developers are really updating the kernels anymore. Lithid has done an amazing job with his Freedom kernel but he went to the iPhone I think and dropped development before implementing SBC.

I already get terrible battery life on Sense roms (due to a random bug causing extremely high display usage all the time that kills the battery, very frustrating) but maybe SBC will give me a few more hours enough to use it as a daily. Until them, I'm stuck using CM7 which I wasn't a big fan of before but after having to use it so long I have found ways to make it exactly how I want, along with giving me great battery life.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
HTC made the kernel not play nice with SBC the one SBC kernel that was out had lots of issues and was pulled. There was a code conflict in the core of the kernel source causing all kinds of failures with hardware, they went away after flashing a new kernel, but touch screen was whacked out audio bugged and there were lots of FC as the SBC code basically broke the kernel's functionality, so blame HTC not the devs it was like HTC intentionally built the kernel to block SBC. There are kernels out with AVS and I think one with HAVS but I'm not 100% sure on the HAVS since I've been working on AOSP the last few weeks and have taken a break from sense.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathman85:
Many valid points... thanks everyone for responding. I didn't realize that there were issues with HTC's kernel as it was (last I had heard, the newest GB kernel from HTC had a form of SBC built in, and after HTC released the code, it seemed as though nobody was working on the kernels anymore). I'll have to contemplate thoroughly on what to do... if the developers have looked into it, I doubt I'd be able to make progress where they were unable to do so.

ncfastls1, have you tried MikG at all? I know hardware varies, but it is without question the best performing Sense ROM I've had, in smoothness, functionality (Sense 2.1 + 3.0), and battery life. Using Freedom's more aggressively undervolting kernel gave me camera issues (phone would freeze and reboot), but as you can see from the pic in my first post, I've gotten some incredible battery life from MikG with the less aggressive kernel. I can also provide spreadsheets with my battery life every day that I've had it (I'm a statistician by profession, so I test everything I can collect data on just to make sure I'm getting the best performance from my phone). [Note: When I updated to 2.61, I simultaneously updated a bunch of apps, and my battery life fell off the Grand Canyon, so I restored to 2.60 and am trying to isolate the source of the drain by progressively updating apps before updating to 2.61.] CM7 is great - I have it on my Nook and am anxious to see CM9 - but I do have an affinity for Sense.

Thanks again, everyone!

P.S. I was also heartbroken to see that lithid went over to crApple. :( He had tried throwing together an SBC kernel (it's buried deep in his kernel thread), but since I didn't see a single person report about its functionality, I was reluctant to try it...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rxpert:
Lithid was working on it for a very long time. He has since gone to the iOS. Wish he wouldnt released his v 0.95 kernel though before he did.

OK, so my SGSII will be here tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to moving all my crap from my Cappy to the new phone. I am only going to root the phone, for now, so I can use things like my paid versions of TiBU, Root Explorer and others. Should I root before I set anything up? I know not to restore anything system related, just apps and data. How do I migrate all my internet, e-mail and other settings?Do I input them manually? How do I know which apps from the Cappy will not run on the SGSII? I also have my Outlook contacts and calendar set up to sync via Hotmail's servers onto my phone (which works pretty well) because I don't use G-mail. I haven't flashed a ROM since March and am in no hurry to do so until I get more savvy with the new phone, but I don't want anything I transfer over to mess it up. Thanks.;)

Oh, and I see reference to an OGSGSII. Is that a different phone or just a designation used to distinguish it from the SGSIISR?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver91342:
I came from a Cappy as well but couldn't tell how to bring things over as I just started fresh. Most of the apps should still work (aside from Voodoo sound). You don't need any lag fixes as this phone is already EXT4. For rooting there is a kernel swap method but if you are worried about keeping your warranty, then you should read up on the flash counter with yellow triangle warning for flashing: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311081

Welcome Miami_Son.

Great group of people in the SGSII forums.

When I got my phone, I gave the Captivate to my wife, and I set up the SGSII from scratch, but I did use many of my Tibu application backups to get the data continuity for those apps. The cappy is still running Andromeda3 btw.

I would at least root and install a custom kernel. I'd suggest Entropy512's daily driver. Do NOT use rom manager, as it does not play well with the SGSII, so you need the custom kernel for, at a minimum, ClockworkMod Recovery. Entropy's kernel is very stable and improves battery life significantly among other things. And many (most?) of the custom roms use his kernel.

Also, learn about the flash counter and decide if it makes any difference to you. I have a couple of guiudes with info.

Enjoy your stay!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Thanks, guys, that cleared it up. I do like having CWM and the extended power menu on my Cappy, so I'll look into the kernel mod. Having had my Cappy replaced 3 times I am concerned about warranty issues. Does any change in the counter void the warranty? Would just a kernal flash change the counter? Can it be changed back? I've seen lots of good said about Entropy's mods and I was already leaning that way. I was all set to get the SR until I posted in here and saw how much dev support there is for the SGSII compared to the SR. Coming from the Cappy I think I'll be very happy with this phone. If the GPS works I know I will. Aside from some random sluggishness and the sketchy GPS, the Cappy has been a great phone, especially on A3. Will be sorry to see it go. Would still be using it except for the speaker starting to go and an occasional unexplained lockup. Thanks again for the warm welcome and all the help.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver91342:
Any time you use download mode the counter will go up, it is supposed to void your warranty but a few people confirmed that AT&T won't/doesn't know how to check it. The counter itself can only be reset with a JIG (same one as cappy). Just a kernal swap in my link or creepy's sig won't set it off if done properly

GPS is far better I can get a lock in about 5-8 sec (warm) outside on a clear day with excellent tracking.

Welcome miama_son :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The cappy was a better than average phone with some proiblems out of the box, but a very good phone with custom firmware and mods.

The SGSII is an awesome phone out of the box, and even better with the work of the great devs here.

Samsung learned their lesson from the cappy gps debacle. This phone has one of the best gps chips available in a phone, and most agree that it's gps is about as good as it gets on a phone platform.

As far as the counter, theoretically it voids the warranty, but in practice, it's questionable whether someone at the store would even look. When you flash a custom kernel with Odin3 or Heimdall from your pc, the counter is incremented and you will also get an I9100 boot screen with a yellow warning triangle. It's the warning triangle and boot screen that is more of a problem, but both the counter and boot screen can be cleared with a jig. You can read more info in my guides, linked in my signature.
