[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svceon:
since the op doesn't come from the deep internet....... i shal explain that there is a search function in this website.

And i am not certain this specific post will help OP in any way, since he just sent it to warranty, due to...that.....

Sorry but sincerely, why did you buy a Samsung Galaxy S2? are you coming from an iPhone?

[EDIT] Anyway, this question might be useful for future reference, in a mere chance that a new user might actually use this so mythical search function.

If after you updated the operative system version to *whatever* you can always revert it to the version you previously had. This might conclude to a confusing stage of your life, since samsung seem to have hit an infinite loop of versions releases and most probably you might get more confused than you already are.

Simply follow guides and instalation instructions in the Development sections... !!!***BUT***!!! remember, development section and threads are strictly to that finality, development. Questions and other doubts are to be posted in the Q&A or General sub-sections.

I honestly wish that i dont sound rude in any and every way, and if i do, i hereby ask for forgiveness... -.-'
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You can factory reset and test .

You can install a later stock rom and test .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Yes you sound rude and probably no help to OP, also the condescending tone in your post makes this community look bad for the novices who have genuine problems IMO. Is it because he has 1 post? If he was saying something like "WHY PHONE HAZ LAG? WHAT BEST FIRMWARE FOR NO LAG?" then I would understand your post.

Anyway's, good luck OP! I had the same problems with custom ROM's and Kernel's (firmware) but since I was doing custom stuff, I voided my warranty and had to deal with it myself via full wipes and a kernel cleaning script amongst all the flashing. How did you try to update your firmware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
I get the same thing happening, but only on the call logs.

I think it holds about 500 logs and every so often when I try to scroll down a few pages it starts to freeze then flows again and keeps doing that the more I keep scrolling down.

I think it happens because sometimes I don't use that list for a long period so it needs to reload the list. Also could be the first time after I restore a backup.

Anyway, I just keep scrolling all the way to the bottom and after that all is good again. It a bit like loading the gallery for the first time. After that it loads quickly.

i`ve updated via kies. ever since i use 2.3.4 it`s not running smoothly.

i allready set it back too the earliest version. i`ve asked samsung what to do. they told me too send it back. i`ve done that. but nothing seems to work. the problem is still there. i`ve been thinking of a custom rom, but then i loose my waranty. i hope that when the new update too icecream arrives it will fix the problem. when it doesn`t i will look out for a custom rom.

i`ve never had an iphone (dirty word)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I use the rom in my sig - no lag, never had a force close, faster than stock and battery life is better - you could try a rom like that - or wait MONTHS for your update to arrive :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Agree with MrB download his rom or even try the latest Batista rom..My friend super fast and no lag when scrolling through everything..And with latest siyah kernel absolutely brilliant:D.. if you need help just give me a message

I am having no luck playing any embedded flash or silverlight(nfl.com) videos in either stock browser or Opera mobile.

Some setting I am missing?

Examples of videos not being able to play:

http://www.geekosystem.com/

Tides video at the top of page, just shows big, light gray play symbol, when I tap, turns black rectangle and does nothing.

Flash is fully updated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ishman:
Opera mobile does not support flash in honeycomb or ICS. If you are updated to ICS there is a new flash player 11 (i think) in the market to update. Other browsers should (stock or dolphin).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fradworth:
Thanked.

Stock is working fine now.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acricketer:
When I try to watch embedded live streaming tv, every site I try tells me that I don't have a plugin. I also sometimes get a message about upgrading to Fleshplayer 9.0

This is happens on Chrome, Boat, Dolphin and Stock browsers. Adobe Flash 11.1 is installed.

Any ideas?:confused:
[Desire General] retrosling:
Hi, My desire usb charge port is damaged. to get it to charge i have to keep moving the charger cable to various positions and get it just right to begin charging.

i sent it to htc for warrenty repair and they said It is not covered.

they say the part to replace is £3 or something and like £20 labour plus another £20 for the postage and for them to check it over.

i never responded when they emailed me to make a desicion to go forward with the repair. is it something i can do easily myself at home?

i only say this because the part is so cheap.

thanks

sam
[Desire General] retrosling:
Bump, any response welcome
[Desire General] zaphodbeeb:
Hi,

I would not attempt this myself. I have read of others who have tried this and failed. I had to return my desire to HTC (under warranty) and the service was excellent. Personally, I would send to HTC. Are you sure that this is a usb problem? I had a similar charging problem and changed to another USB cable and it worked fine. Although I had a new board fitted my USB when it was repaired the usb port still has a slight movement but I never have problems charging.
[Desire General] CCpotter:
I don't think it's a good idea to get the slot replaced by yourself, it's not just like replace the LCD screen or what. Just give them the money and let those people get it repaired as soon as possible.
[Desire General] ElZeck:
I agree.

I have not attempted this myself, but as you've already sent it to them, you will have to pay 20£ now anyway as they charge this for checking it.

you will have to pay the spare part too if you do it yourself so that's another 3£ on your bill (if you can get it in a shop near you. if have to order it, then you would have to pay postage on top).

So even if you manage to do it by yourself you'll be effectively saving 20£. In my opinion, that's not worth it, considering that there is still the danger of bricking it while trying to repair...
[Desire General] lazyeejay:
Agreed on the cable. I've gone through a couple that get loose and give me hassle charging. I had the same problem and used my other halfs newer cable from her Desire and . . . . bam!! . . .charging perfectly:-) My guess is that's all it is.
[Desire General] MichaelAmrs:
I also would say you this that dont take the risk of attempting it your self,get it repaired whatever it may cost..

I wanted to know that is there something(alternative) one can buy to charge the battery if charging port does NOT work at all.
[Desire General] Tarun Chaudhary:
I'd say , pay for it. Don't try to repair it yourself. You'll mess it up.
[Desire General] smuutje:
I have the exact same problem. I have to bend the cable a little upwards for it to charge. On another charger it works fine. I have to admit, that it's a bit annoying. Paying about 50 € for a reparation or 3€ for a new cable. Simple answer ;)
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
Hi all! motorola software updates has found an update for my defy froyo 2.2.2

[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
seems to be old update?
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
wwhy you say that? i've never received an update before
[Defy Android Development] djkail:
Maybe... But you can try it! Can you get it via OTA? If the answer is yes make it this way... you can abort installation once donwloaded and upload it searching it via Root explorer... Its only an idea..

But... you have 177 version... Its strange that you have an update... you have lastest froyo version...

Check out!

EDIT: Last version is 179...
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
no I don't have any update via ota, only via motorola software update....can you tell me if I can update with root permission without problem or is better remove them?
[Defy Android Development] Cristi_10:
yes you can men dont be afraid:D
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
I think its MSU update and not rom update
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
no i'm not so stupid :D i'm doing it, after it finishes I'll post news
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
ok :)

pls share the sbf... if possible and let us know if english language is supported or not supported...
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
i don't know how to share the sbf!

all done....no more root but i can't see any difference....

my version and my number build are the same...not sure on the other infos...
[Defy Android Development] sUpErwHoO:
so what did it update???
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
I really don't know unfortunately...seems nothing :(
[Defy Android Development] lefedor:
Settings->About phone - any details? Kernel version/buid number/etc?
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
kernel: 2.6.32.9

the other infos in the first post
[Defy Android Development] sUpErwHoO:
And your sure its not an msu update?
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
i lost root on my phone, it can't be a msu update....i don't know is a mistery
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
it's a repair, not an update, it "fixed" your rooted phone
[Defy Android Development] FraRiva91:
so it detected that I had root and he removed it? I'm right? because when it was searching for updates, it controlled that my phone was under guarantee....thanks I think you have found the right answer, sorry for the inutility of the thread! I was hoping in an official update from motorola but there are no hopes... :(

sorry for bad english :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wired12:
Hi,

I have successfully applied snowball-mod to my NT (Thank you cfoesch!). It makes the NT into a very reasonable general purpose tablet.

However, I am having one problem. I install the B&N nook android reader but it doesn't work. I have downloaded the reader from Google market and also tried side loading B&N Nook-19.apk from another device. In both cases the app installs without reported error but when I try to run it nothing starts up.

Has anyone successfully installed and used the nook android application on Snowball-mod?

Any pointers on how I might debug this?

Thanks,

-A
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
I have the same issue, but I used Indirect's full debloat method. I don't care to use any of the BN stuff so last night I ran the script and performed full debloat. I downloaded nook reader and like you said installed with no issue, but would not run. I just installed a different reader and was back to reading. I do wish though that the book icon still worked though, I did like that feature. No matter I am going to install the ics toolbar today anyway. My belief is the less BN junk on my tablet the better.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
Yep, this is a none problem, and there's not really much we can do about it. I think the app is detecting something about being on a Nook, and quitting out as a result. Or maybe last vestiges of Nook apps or something.

Either way, because it doesn't force quit, it's most likely that this is intentional "working-as-designed" behavior.

Nope.

Wait for custom ROMs. Snowball-mod is deprecated right now. So, enjoy using your tablet with all the quirks for another month-ish, or so maybe, and then everything will be fine with the custom ROMs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 28907126:
Some fella at XDA mentioned extracting the library.apk and reader.apk from the stock 1.4.0 rom and install that.

I tried that and it work perfectly. Snowball mod with original reader + library and no FC at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
Try FBReader from the market. I like it better than BN reader. also, go use indirects update block tool. Mine updated yesterday using snowball-mod and I had to use the card method to roll back and then start over.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ncguy68:
I have "Cool Reader" installed on a non-debloated Nook Tablet and when I press the 'book icon' it brings up the 'complete action using' menu. Once Cool Reader is set as 'default' it opens when the book icon is pressed. I'm not sure if this will work with a debloated Nook, but it may be worth a try. This feature does not work with others readers (Moon +, Aldiko, etc).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
I have made a web page

http://www.makingitdigital.net/android/index.html

to share what I have installed on my NT. I have a link on there for the Nook Reader and the Nook Library. You need to install both. You will not be able to bring up the reader, but you can bring up the library and then select what you want. That brings up the reader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
Very nice putting This together. Much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I am looking for the ICS colored battery images to replace the percentage ones. The ones in ROM Toolbox won't work cause there is only ten of them and I need 100. I have no problem makeing the changes to the framework I just can't find them and before I fire up Adobe Fireworks and start switching green to blue I thought I would ask and see if anyone had them and would send em my way. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Just wanted to be clear ( I read my OP and it can be a little confusing). What I need is the no percentage battery icons to replace the percentage ones in the ICS blue. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
You have three options.

1). You can manually add another 10 icons per icon with renaming each one to "stat_battery_1, stat_battery_2, etc." until you get to 100 images. Or...

2). You can just drag the stat_battery.xml, stat_battery_charging.xml into your framework-res.apk's drawable folder from a stock EL29 framework-res.

3). You can post the framework-res.apk you're using and I'll make the modifications for you. ;)

EDIT: The easiest way to get this to work is to edit the stat_battery.xmls.

For example. Here's the no% battery mod for my theme. This code is pulled directly from stat_sys_battery.xml in the drawable-hdpi.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<level-list

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_0" android:maxLevel="2" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_5" android:maxLevel="7" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_10" android:maxLevel="12" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_15" android:maxLevel="17" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_20" android:maxLevel="22" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_25" android:maxLevel="27" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_30" android:maxLevel="32" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_35" android:maxLevel="37" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_40" android:maxLevel="42" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_45" android:maxLevel="47" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_50" android:maxLevel="52" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_55" android:maxLevel="57" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_60" android:maxLevel="62" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_65" android:maxLevel="67" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_70" android:maxLevel="72" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_75" android:maxLevel="77" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_80" android:maxLevel="82" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_85" android:maxLevel="87" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_90" android:maxLevel="92" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_95" android:maxLevel="97" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_100" android:maxLevel="100" />

</level-list>

I have an image for each line, starting at 0, 5, 10, 15. So I would have images in the drawable-hdpi (no% images) that are called stat_sys_battery_0, stat_sys_battery_5, stat_sys_battery_10 and so on until you reach 100. This makes it very easy to use just 10-15 images to get the no% mod instead of copying over 100 images for charging and non charging. Same thing can be applied to the stat_sys_battery_charging.xml.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Honestly I'm all for doing step 1 and 2. But I am still learning. I have a flashable template I got from apk tool so I can flash the framework back. Here's the framework. Dude you're awesome and I am more than willing to help ya out anyway possible.

http://db.tt/QlXIeEHO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Okay, so I took a stock EL29 framework-res. Extracted the stat_sys_battery.xml, stat_sys_battery_charging.xml and dragged it into your framework-res.apk you supplied me. I then took the 15 ICS stock battery icons I had and threw them in the framework.

Here is your no% modded ICS framework-res.

Here are the battery icons I used.

P.S. You can find what code lies within the stat_sys_battery from a few posts up to get a better understanding of what I did. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Just read that addition to your post. Im starting to get the principle behind it. When I get home tonight I'm gonna have to play around with it. The pngs I'm good with. Its the xmls I'm still wrapping my head around. I'm not worried about messing things up as I can generally just Odin back. Just trying to learn what different codes mean and all that **** can make ya go crosseyed. Haha. Thanks again man for the info and for the framework edit. I hopefully can contribute some things in the near future. They maybe small contributions but hey anythings better then not in right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Yeah, XMLs are a pain (even for me still), but the basic ones such as these are somewhat easy to follow. Once you get where everything goes, theming is a breeze from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Well I did some reading on XML. Also the images you sent are the ones I have been looking for but the framework seems to be the same. I downloaded it again to make sure I didn't get em messed up. Possible the wrong one got uploaded? Also thanks a ton man. I've learned me something today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I only changed certain battery images (alot of the battery images are the same, only overwrote a few. The ones in the zip are the ones I uploaded in the framework-res. At least I think I did. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Haha. Its still displaying in increments of 1. I know that feeling. I double checked a few times figuring j did something wrong. But it still displays like it did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Just looked and it looks like the images are the right ones in the framework. But its displaying in 1 percent instead of fives. I'm using root explorer to look inside the apk. If I was at home I would drag the XML over like ya said
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Yeah I must've missed dragging the XMLs from drawable over. My bad. :X

...Or maybe this is a test to make sure you know your knowledge? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Hahaha. I'm learning. Seriously though man I soak up this type of knowledge like a sponge. I've been playing alot with themeing and ****. I almost had me a aospish styled from done and Dude dropped his which was way better and more detailed then mine. I'm learning though. I love android and would spend every waking minute tinkering if I could.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
uhh, i think the issue is on my end, i dont think my flashable template was flashing it, it said it was but i dont think it was actually working, now that im at home im gonna play with it.

Thats exactly what it was, I repackaged the framework in the theme zip and it flashed and bam, perfecto. damn man IM sorry, I should have known something was on my end.

question. I can decompile a framework with apktool just fine but when i use it to recompile and then flash it i get errors lie force closes on certain things. Am i doing that right? or should I use a different tool for decompiling and recompiling the frameworks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Is it giving errors when you recompile? Decompile with twframework-res.apk dependencies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
Your still need to decompile the framework and edit the res/values/public.xml, it is still using each percentage. On mine if you look around line 4577 the rest of the battery percentages are added. You will need to remove all of the ones that you wont use.

I decompile framework 2 at a time. I use one that is edited, and one that I am editing. I open them up in 2 separate windows, that way I can copy and paste the changes. I name the edited one "editedframework-res.apk" that way I dont get them confused. After you recompile, copy the /res folder and resources.arsc from the new one to the old one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Oh no, its working fine now. I didnt decompile it this time I just swapped the frameworks in the theme. But a while back when I was working on the AOSPish Theme I meantioned. I decompiled the framework to do something I cant remember what but I needed access to an xml that wasnt available through 7zip. when i recompiled it booted and worked but i would get random force closes on things. So I figured I messed something up. Long story short I ended up on stock deodexed and decompiled and then immediately recompiled the framework to rule that it was that causing it and still got the random force closes. so I assumed I was doing it wrong or I needed to use something else to decompile/recompile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
xml's can be a ***** sometimes, you have to edit 5 things to get one thing done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I'm starting to realize that. I used the framework he made me and of course it worked when I got it to flash. Then I took the original framework of the theme and did what he said an I was able to get it to work without decompiling by doing what he said. I made sure it flashed too. So that's one more thing under my belt. Sometimes not decompiling if possible is the best way to go I'm starting to realize. Most of the apk edits I have done I can do in 7zip without anymore then opening the archive and dragging and dropping the pngs into it. But when it comes to XML sometimes that's not possible. There are some folders and files hidden in 7zip and not visabke until its decompiled. Another thing I have found out.

I have to say its awesome that you guys are willing to help like this. One of the main reasons I love the android community.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] live_in_the_sky06:
Thanks for the information. So one would use Root Explorer to replace the framework apk? I am running Venom's TW/Sony ICS Rom and I want to use the stock battery icon as well. Would this work for me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
If you are on true ICS then the Battery images are in the systemui.apk in system/app. If not then they would be in the framework. I have personally never had much luck using RE for framework swapping. It hangs before you can set the right permissions. The way I do it is take a flashable zip and delete out all the files in it other than the META file. then make a folder system/framework and place it in there and flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] live_in_the_sky06:
Thanks for the information. I am not quite sure how to do all of that. If I supply my systemui.apk and framework-res.apk could you tell me how to do it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Post them up I will edit them real quick for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] live_in_the_sky06:
Thanks for your help. I have attached the files.
