[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattywak:
Out of the three results I found searching for this topic, I'm glad I checked this thread.

The exact thing I was wondering was:

Is there any way to disable the screen from getting brighter when my keyboard comes up on the screen?

From reading your response, it seems that the screen getting brighter is a result of the design of the screen, suggesting that there is no way to stop it from happening. The only thing I've been able to do to make the screen remain at the brightness I set it is to change the theme of my keyboard to a brighter or lighter color based theme.

I'm using Swiftkey with the Neon keyboard, it looks great and I love it!

I had a Samsung Vibrant previously to the Galaxy Nexus, and there indeed was a "Power Saving Option" in the settings and if I remember correctly that stopped the screen from getting brighter with the keyboard on screen. Has any fix / ability to change this on a stock Galaxy Nexus running JB been found? It's just barely annoying enough for me to notice it, plus I'm a stickler for more battery life and I can feel my battery dying the brighter the screen gets. ( I know this last part may be a mental thing, but still. Haha. )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirdisanthosh:
Hi guys,

I'm in India and I have a Galaxy S II GT-I9100G (with a TI OMAP SoC) model phone. I've recently purchased a USB OTG cable from eBay for about Rs.360. However when I tested this cable with my phone, it doesn't even detect it. No message of any kind on the notification bar.

I tried the same cable with my friend's phone which is a Galaxy S II GT-I9100 (original model with Exynos SoC) and it worked absolutely fine.

Can anyone tell me what is missing in my phone that it is not working. Is this the case only with me or others having I9100G faced similar issues? If so, did any one find a solution for this. This is a very good feature to connect pendrives to the phone directly to copy files. But it is not working for me.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Santhosh
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aji_s:
Is the phone detectable by Kies? . have you updated firmware recently.Do a factory reset and try again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirdisanthosh:
Yes. i have recently updated from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 via OTA updates and ever since my phone is not detected by Kies. also when i connect my phone to my laptop, phone's built-in storage drive is not accessible as well.

I've fixed the 2nd issue (accessing USB storage) by dialling *#7284# and using the PhoneUtil feature. But Kies will not detect my phone yet and the OTG cable is not being detected. i've bought the cable only recently after the updated to 2.3.6 and so no idea if it would have worked before the update.

One last question. when i do a factory reset all the data is lost. So if I take a backup of all the apps and data before the reset and then use the data to restore everything after the reset, will the OTG cable not being detected problem also come back after the restore ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aji_s:
I got my OTG cable today from ebay.plugged in my usb drive and it was detected instantly but contents were inaccessible.It was due to ntfs file system.After formatting with FAT32 I could use it normally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirdisanthosh:
Are you in 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 ?

I'm going to do factory reset now and will post the result after I test it post the rest.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aji_s:
Hi Santhosh, go ahead with factory reset from privacy menu after backing up data.It will solve all your problems with Kies and OTG.Nothing to loss if you back up the data.Mine also suffered usb problem after the update.After factory reset everything worked normally.Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aji_s:
Now i have 2.3.6. I have OTA update after one day i bought the phone.Mass storage and Kies interface stopped working.After some hrs of futile search for a solution i tried Factory reset.It rectified the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirdisanthosh:
Lucky you. Everything worked for you after the factory reset. There is no use in my case. Mass storage and Kies interface is working perfectly. However, USB OTG cable is still not working. I do not understand where is the problem.

I too have same I9100G with 2.3.6 version as you but why is the OTG cable not working in mine is what i can't understand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aji_s:
Try another pendrive or usb mouse/keyboard.Ensure cable is inserted properly.Is it beacuse of PhoneUtil procedure?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirdisanthosh:
Bingo. Factory reset actually worked. Thanks mate.

Yesterday after the reset I was connecting the cable and then the pen drive but it didn't work. Today I tried connecting the pen drive to the cable first and then to the phone and it worked. USB keyboard is also working. Hurray!!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirdisanthosh:
Hi arpitnan,

Is your phone detectable on the pc via kies?

Try connecting the pendrive to the cable and then connect the cable to the phone. It doesn't work the other way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arpitnan:

OTG function is absolute working on S2 i9100g

Hi all,

Don't worry if you are facing problem regarding the OTG cable not working on S2 G model because I have checked it. It is working very fine actually most of cheap type cable are not proper desingned that's why they are not working . Take the branded/Genuine S2 cable and see it.

I am using i9100G with my home made OTG cable the S2 G is very good phone.

A9 processor is up to the mark, Galaxy note has also A9 chip..............

Hi

Hi, Arpit

is your friend"s i9100 has updates for 2.3.6 via OTA . i heard that they are still stuck with 2.3.3. and also i dnt knw anythng about custom rom etc all this stuff etc..which version has most custom rom etc, updates al the stuff can you help me out which will be best buy i9100 or i9100g. suggest me the best from u and ur frnds experience on these two models. thanks.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomajayam:
Hi, latest official release for i9100 is icecream sandwitch. Released last month. ie; 4.0....

Gingerbeard(2...) is an old story for i9100. this phone was released at first and it became an instant hit. Most no of the custom roms exist for this phone.

Samsung started selling i9100G last year in asia. The processor was downgraded from original exynos(i9100) to OMAP. and the phone was underclocked. You cannot differentiate the two phones by checking the package. Both are marketed as i9100. If u are buying from india, most probably you will end up with a G version. Custom roms started flowing out for G just 3-4 months ago.. And there are 6 to 10 of them most based on 2.3.6.... Best of luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomajayam:
If you are an avg user, both will look the same. But NonG version is definitely good for higher gaming and OCying..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomajayam:
I had the same problem.. After I installed a usb host controller app. Everything was ok.:beer:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aji_s:
There is no need for installing an app for OTG to work.You need a Pen drive formatted with FAT32 filesytem in both G and nonG. Both nonG and G versions use same 1.2 GHz ARM Architecture dual core processor with different SoC.There is no under clocking.I can see mine working @1200Mhz.Only difference is GPU .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirdisanthosh:
Aji, i have a I9100G and i can confirm that mine was underclocked at 1008 MHz. I then rooted using superatmos kernel and flashed SuperROM v3.1 and now i have clocked it back to 1.2GHz

Copy the MIUI2.1.6_sone_b012_ML.zip to the root of your mSD card.

Flash the above mentioned OC kernel using fastboot.

Boot into recovery mode.

Install zip from SD card

Choose the MIUI2.1.6_sone_b012_ML.zip

As install finishes:

-wipe cache

-wipe dalvik cache (advanced)

-factory reset (not needed in case you have a miui rom already on your device)

Reset your device

Ready.

Should boot into the latest MIUI based on android 2.3.7

Give your PIN code (in case you have...)

(At the error message - in case you'd have - just press Dismiss.)

I'd recommend to download Nofrills CPU from Market (or other similar tool), to have a control over the CPU's speed.

For better battery performance, you can try this kernel suggested by bheremans:

Please share your experience with it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] optik19918:
Flashed right now I will come back after 8-9 howers of usage with the feedback thank you again!

ok the kernel works great like the room it self, but i have this problem in 6h and 45m here are the battery statistics

cell standby

time on 6h 45m 19s

Power Consumption 95040 uAh

1. signal Power grid 3440 uAh

2. Signal power grid 957 uAh

3. Signal power grid 1837 uAh

4. Signal power grid 5880 uAh

Cell signal power 2496 uAh

Radio power usage 80422 uAh

Time without signal 10%

so the uAh spend for the signal search (Radio power Usage) in that 10% of the 6h is huge! is allmost the 70% of the total power spend in those 6 howers.

at rest the room works not great is a dream, playng games using facebook the gps navigation system, listening music and other stuff consumed only a total of 21% of the battery

oh one bad thing for the games like real racing 2, modern Combat 3 or Shadowgun is quite impossible to play on those games without overclocking at 1.6

i wil try with some other kernel and add the info

With miui you just have to press at the same time Vol- and Menu key (the tactile one, on the right), and it should appear in SD/MIUI/Screen_Cap. I say it should because to me isn't working, it makes the effect of making the capture but it doesn't appear anywhere...
