[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiocrema:
i everyone, i have 2 original batteries, one with 1660mAh and the other 1650Mha and one extended bought from dealextreme with 3500Mha. All of them gives me the same problem. When they reach 50% discharge the phone starts to present problems.

1st - Mobile network/data disapear

2nd - phone turns off randonly

3rd - When it restarts charge info shows from 1% to 23% and baseband unknown

4th - With the phone off, i plug the outlet charger and it shows 50%+ with all batteries.

With the normal batteries, its almost impossible to make the phone work without plug in to the outlet and leave it for 10 min off before turn it on.

With the extended i just need to reboot and it works fine, but the charge info shows low charge, less than 20% and as time goes by (if the phone stays with the screen of) this info starts to raise to 25%, 30% and tops 38%.

I'm using only the extended one because its the only one that gives me no baseband unknown after restart.

I already used battery calibration app, clear battery stats via CWM and gets nothing solved.

I tried many ROMS and kernels, and so far the only config that is working fine without baseband unknown all the time is:

Android version:2.3.6

ROM: CriskeloROM Gingerbread v34

Kernel: 2.6.35.14-Siyah-v2.4.2+gm@ubuntu #52

Compilation #: GINGERBREAD.XWKK5

Baseband Version: I9100XXKG6

Theme version: BlackBlue by JaiGlisséChef

All of this is the default installation from this ROM .

My data plan is 10gb/month, so i let data on all the time.

This extended give me all day long work time with the phone instead of 4 to 6 hours with the originals.

I've tried discharge to 0% and then recharge to 100% but the problem persists.

Please help me or i will have to throw this phone away.

thx.

Looks like multiple rom flashing syndrom.

Flash to stock return to service centre .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiocrema:
You are kidding right ?!?! Isn`t there any other way to resolve this ? Why a phone that has an unlocked bootloader presents such bad behavior.

Even if i reinstall the stock rom wouldn`t resolve this ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
That sound like a hardware issue more than anything, I would flash back to your stock rom/kernel/baseband, reset the counter with a jig and use your original battery and see what happens.

If the problem is still there I would contact samsung and see what they say (Dont tell them about all the rom flashing, just say it started happening)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
MRFS is when a user has not got a clue as to what is what and problem has not been solved .

Logic says that 3 battery's problem requires battery tested on clean phone with a stock rom . Solution is not to flash yet another rom kernel or whatever .

You have asked for help take it or leave it .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiocrema:
I installed an stock rom downloaded from that thread here in xda with many stock roms. I chose the latest with the following:

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband: I9100UHKI1

Kernel: Replaced original with C.F.Root for KI2 (KI1 was not available) just to get root

Compilation #: GINGERBREAD.UHKI1

I did it yesterday just after the i was suggested to revert it to stock.

Using extended battery charged to 100% and ran battery calibration. I'll try later with the original to see what happens.

So far all of my software problems were solved.

Now, what are the chances of everything stays this way if i flash only once the rom i want and stops.

Thx.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiocrema:
Problem Solved.

What worked for me was installing an stock rom and recharge to 100% with the phone off then applying root and a new rom.

Start system to check its working and doing recharge cycles till the battery is dead.

I've read on another post which i don't remember now that doing this 2 or 3 times could fix the problem.

My salvation.:D
[Nokia Lumia 800] iain-w:
Hi,

Appreciate that i am new here but just want to vent / understand if any of these issues can be resolved with some patching or if (as i suspect) I am better off simply flushing this POS down the bog.

I have had a lumia 800 for exactly 48 hours and its driving me spastic.

my issues are as follows (no particular order)

1. Zune, wtf is this junk? why can i not simpy drag and drop my file where i farkin well want them? I will not be told that i HAVE to use Zune. Zune can suck my balls.

2. Why does mass storage not work? Even if i change the registry to allow it it only partially recognises the files, meaning all my mp3's end up as one giant album, thanks Nokia / Microsoft, you jizz monkeys.

3. Which genius decided to only include one volume? So i lesten to my giant album at a volume that does not make me black out and as a result my ringer is as loud as a sparrows fart. This really is the most retarded thing on a phone sinc about 2001

4. The sound quality, its just crap. Really crap. where is the bass, no really what have you dne with it mr nokia? is it a special thing that normal users cannot be trusted with?

5. No EQ? So not only have you robbed my of my aural pleasure as standard but you have emasculated me by removeing the only tool that could alleviate this pain.

6. Bing, bing can ram it as far as i am concerned, I don't like it, i don't want to use it, but not only is it set as a default, but one of my buttons is dedicated to it? WTF!! out of 6 buttons you have wired 16.5% of them into a function that only smelly old men in rain coats would use.

I could go on, but i just cant find the will. So sod off lumia 800, your going on ebay this weekend and i hope some chav uses your puny loudspeaker to try and play ndubz on the bus.

Anyone else feel this way or have any solutions?

Thanks for reading this rant, oh and Hi :o
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
No different than being forced to use iTunes. If you want drag/drop freedom, then Android is your option.

We're all waiting for this development. WP7 is still quite young and has MANY improvements to make.

Via loudspeaker or headphones? I have Sennheiser MX95 earbuds and bass is fine. Externally? I agree, it's quite poor, but I didn't really expect anything better.

See #3.

What are you expecting here? This is a Microsoft OS. They want to use and encourage the use of Bing. Were you expecting Google, or just the ability to customize? If so, see #3.

By what you've written, I really don't think that WP7 is for you. Perhaps you should get the N9 once you sell your Lumia 800?

You're welcome, oh and Hi! :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] iain-w:
Now to an extent I disagree, for two key reasons.

1. I can manage an i pod (the Mrs's) through winamp with no bother.

2. I expect that kind of bull**** from Apple, who make their products as difficult to customise as possible, windows is MEANT to run on mongrel hardware and support various uses while supporting programs and devices from other manufacturers. So this kind of strong arm move is in my eyes unacceptable.

I can appreciate that the OS is young, but come on, this is basic basic basic I can't think of a phone i have had that was capable of playing mp3's that did not have a separate volume for playback and ring.

Headphones and amplification, Not getting into some sort of "FI off" but i have tried it on Super Fi Pro 10 phones and into a hifi consisting of Cyrus twin mono's and B&W P6's and it sounds un utterably crap, next to a sony X series mp3 player its not even a bad joke, even next to my work blackberry is complete pish. Now i dont expect Esoteric levels of reproduction but i do expect it to have better reproducton than i would get with a set of 99p headphones placed in a coke can.

I could live with a non removable tile but to link a hard button to it is too much, same point as i am making about zune, its just not really acceptable imo

This is sadly the conclusion that i have reached, which is surprising as i have had a windows phone before all be it some years ago, and while that too was fairly crap in some respects I did use it for a few years without feeling the need to smash it into tiny bits and defecate on its remains.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Oh yeah, I forgot that iPhones can now be managed in different programs. It wasn't like that in the beginning.

I look at it like this. WP7 is new, yes. To keep it stable, it has to start out closed. I sincerely hope that it will open up over time.

I still gotta say that the sound from the Lumia 800 doesn't disappoint me. Honestly, I wasn't expecting greatness anyway. For that, I have a Walkman.

I really hope that these complaints you have will be addressed in the near future. I love WP7. That's why I became a late early adopter. I know a few who adopted really early, and aren't even techie people. They adopted when WP7 was so basic it barely did anything.

Good luck!!!
[Nokia Lumia 800] Wiggy Fuzz:
the way i see it, the drag and drop seems to work fine for me - i drag and drop music/videos/photos/podcasts onto the phone, i look in the music/videos/photos/podcasts bit of the phone, i see music/videos/photos/podcasts that i dragged onto the phone.

my beef with wp7 is the browser isn't particularly... good... but i just can't put my finger on exactly why...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Chipsaru:
About bing... On russian version of lumia there are yandex as default search provider and you have option in browser settings to choose defaults between bing and yandex. So I think there must be a way to customize search provider with interop unlock.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mickfarr:
How are you editing the registry on your Lumia?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Hydrad:
So you are saying you can use the Lumina as a mass storage? because my pc won't even recognize it. I must install stuff, and i never got any CD i think. maybe i should look into the box.
[Nokia Lumia 800] iain-w:
You don't edit the registry on the phone you edit the registry on the pc, you need to adjust the zune driver to enable legacy support, takes about 2 mins.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
Even the iPhone had only one volume setting for everything until recently. It sounds like you want Android. Instead of being agitated by a new mobile system, just get an established one.
[Nokia Lumia 800] pittphan:
Yea it sounds like your lumia sucks! I'll buy it from you if you can ship to the US? There are countless droids out there that do everything you want per above, and they will no doubt keep you coming back to XDA to "vent."

So go with the Samsung Galaxy 2 or the N9 - I'm sure it will be all roses with those.

(Side note: if you want to see a limited OS on a phone, check out the N9 with Meego. It is mind-bending how limited that OS is. But at least you can drag and drop! Woooohoooo!)
[Nokia Lumia 800] iain-w:
I agree, I do wonder though why these, what i would call simple issues are not resolved pre release? I can only assume that its essentially the iphone effect where by is desn't really matter if a phone can do pretty simple things well, infact it can be a flaming turd rolled in glitter providing that it looks pretty and you can show if off in the pub.

If you want to make me an offer please do, i didn't get round to ebaying it this weekend as i was too busy being sicked on by my daughter :rolleyes:

Its unlocked as standard as i am on the isle of man, happy to ship to outer mongolia provided i have the cash in my account before it leaves my sweaty palms.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Boburto:
I had an original iPhone, i got it a few months after it was released. It had separate volumes for music and ringtones back then. It was something that impressed me at the time which is why i remember.
[Nokia Lumia 800] westwaswon:
Just my 2 cents on the issue:

1. I don't have issues so I'm curious to see what yours is. I also have zune pass and its one of the best subscription services I've every used. Love it and love the zune layout (though I have had an HD forever so I'm used to it).

2. See #1

3. That is strange; I've never noticed it. Are you listening with headphones? It doesn't make an audible ring if you have headphones in. Plus I would never ever listen to music straight out of any device; phone, mp3, or otherwise. Sometimes I listen to talk radio on the speaker but quality doesn't matter as much there.

4. Either use headphones or see #3

5. I'm pretty sure I've seen a music app that has eq. Do a search on wpcentral for one. I have an HTC Arrive and HTC has put an eq on it so Nokia must have dropped the ball.

6. I used to totally agree with you there. I hated bing at first. Now with adding local scout (must have!) I find myself using it all the time and loving. Plus I noticed google sucking lately and read this article (gizmo.do/xhiUe1) which helped change my mind for bing for sure.

Plus the Lumia 800 is so pretty and WP7 so slick that I wouldn't care about most of the things you have stated above. I use skydrive for all my file sharing so don't need my phone to be a usb stick.
[Nokia Lumia 800] veer01_42:
The search button is an easy fix, Under

[[[settings>Region+language>Browse and Search Language]]],

set it to something other than USA. I have it set to my country, trinidad and tobago, and the search button defaults to google :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] jbbandos:
Well, I don't know if that is true, but unfortunately it is still stuck in bing for Portugal and UK.

Different Icon to Sync would be great. I could see me hitting the wrong one at times.

Well, the widget didn't work on my Nexus (LTE, 4.0.3), and after a reboot, all of the images disappeared for the widget. Here are the replacement images, though. Maybe you will have better luck. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davey1694:
Downloaded this earlier on, I was waiting for the image to change works well for me running Eaglesblood 1.6 much better than stock toggles.

The only gripe I have with it is that when I tap on the APN toggle, the blue indicator underneath the toggle takes a little while to go away though the toggle does its job straight away just the light takes a couple of seconds to go away, very good job though thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nordpolcamper:
Can anyone confirm, that this awesome app runs on Android 4.0.2 Roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kamma:
cannot confirm, but at least you can backup current Settings.apk, flash new one and see if it works. if not, just push back the original Settings.apk

this should work:

adb pull /system/app/Settings.apk .

now flash zip with CWM recovery

if it works, leave it
if it doesnt work:

adb push Settings.apk /data/local
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /data/local/Settings.apk /system/app
exit
exit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hwithv:
Can you help to install this zip via open recovery? thanks.

Hi GALAXY NOTE users!

I'm the developer of APP QUARANTINE. this is a little tool for Root users which allows you to freeze/unfreeze system apps.

I have also heard about the issues with the Galaxy Note and therefore added a little feature which allows to restore all apps which had been frozen before.

It's might be too late, but still may be useful. These files are memory heap dumps created for some of the processes on your phone. You can safely delete them.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
It can do 1080p@30fps, I am not sure what FPS it can do at lower resolutions.

Some people like LGcamera

There is a maximum file size of 4GB due to filesystem limitations, so that would limit the recording time.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I recommend the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal, some tiny scratches on the screen protector, but its kept my screen in perfect condition.

It doesnt effect the quality of the screen (colour/brightness) but does make it slightly more prone to picking up fingerprints, (just clean it a bit more) if that matters try a Oleophobic, less hard (scratch resistant) but its got more anti fingerprint coating.

Been having this problem every since have the charge. My wife uses it work work and needs to save dates longer than 6 weeks. Any idea how to change that? Same thing for the Xoom. Also she is always having problems with contacts coming and just going. She is stock at the moment but has had the problem on anything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] charlie_c:
I don't understand the question - what doesn't save for longer than 6 weeks? As far as contacts, make sure they're all created in GMail and there should be no coming or going. It'll stay synced and update any changes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Ok her contacts were loaded in her phone were fine. A couple of hours later she had to look for one and they were gone. She had to re sync her phone for some reason. On the next problem she will add events on dates in her calendar and they will disappear after 6 weeks. If used on her pc they go back for years. Is it because of the default calendar used on the android devices?
