[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craig Capel:
tdukj1, this has been royally annoying me, my wife has the SG2, she just got it, but you know what women are like too scared to plugin a USB drive without help, so anyway, I thought i'd go and get a stock rom..

tdukj1 vodaphone network, it turns out that the modem.bin file is unique to vodaphone and something about is is modified to allow high speed communications to the phone, the stock modem.bin samsung ships out communicates really slowly so if you do flash a stock rom, you need to flash the tdukj1 modem.bin file or it will simply crawl at 3G speeds or drop out..

So chicken and the egg, can't download the modem.bin file from the phone because it's unrooted, at the same time, anyway I have the jig and told the wife it would be fine and the worst case senario would be re-flashing it with a stock rom from samsung...

So anyway I decided to risk it and tried Easy rooting toolkit (v4.0) finally, it worked and it rooted just fine (wipes sweat from brow) i did not fancy flashing another rom and re-installing it all...

Finally, I got the thing rooted, it all seems fine, so I then used adb went to console and copied the bin file (most important file for the SG2 if you're a vodaphone user, because without this, the phone is just pda)

So for others out there, i've included the modem file at the bottom of this post.

the most important file..

http://www.box.com/s/vzhy3zkhatq6k43lxmil //I9100T Modem File (As given by Vodaphone)

So now, if the worst comes to worse and I flash with a stock rom from sammy, I can then overwrite/flash the modem.bin file for support for Vodaphone

unless i'm wrong about that and I'd love to know more :)

Cheers

[LG Optimus 2x] ongkal:
Hello, guys

I have an optimus 2x SU660 which is basically a korean version of the P990. it virtually has the same hardware with the p990 except this version has a digital tv tuner and a different button configuration.

i have been having a problem with the device rebooting/crashing while playing games regardless of whether these games use memory heavily or not. sometimes, it even reboots/crashes while surfing the internet or when i tinker with the phone after playing or surfing.

i recently installed CM 7.1 to try and see if the issue could be fixed. thankfully, the device crashes or reboots less compared to stock gingerbread (V20J) but the issue is still there.

are any of you experiencing the same problem? i used to think the processor heat causes the reboots and crashes but sometimes, it still faces the same issue when the phone is used after being on standby for hours.

by the way, my phone does not reboot or experience reboots or crashes or BSODs when left charging alone as posted by some users here. it only does so when in use.

I hope somebody can enlighten me
[LG Optimus 2x] brudy:
Should be returned for repair.
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
i had this odd problem a while back with stock GB roms.

but the games i was playing were graphically detailed, but what i found to be an issue was the permission for accessing the networks, both wifi and data.

it rebooted because it was changing the wifi on and data on at the same time that made the phone shut down. a bug in the rom caused the shutdown from the networks.

but the game was causing the networks to change on / off to get access to the internet.

this may not be your issue.

but try a rom with a recommended baseband and ril. and see if the phone restarts when you change youe wifi on / off and data on / off.

if you get no shut down. try the games again to see.

hope this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itaychi:
I seem to have an issue with the samsung captivate here in china.

I have a pilotx custom ROM installed, firmware 2.3.4 baseband version I9000XXJVT and samaphore kernel for the captivate.

this works very well in Israel, getting perfect reception and voice quality everywhere. however when i arrived in china i found out that my phone doesn't manage to connect to china mobile network (chinese SIM card is china mobile).

searching for networks i can see chn-cugsm, which is a china unicom network. if i put my SIM card i can sometime connect to the network as a roaming user but my battery only lasts for a few hours, seems like the phone is constantly busy trying to find a network.

when i try to install another modem using CWM it looks like its going well but when i reboot the phone baseband version remains the same XXJVT, i tried both i897 and i9000 modems but can't seem to change my modem, is it possible that the modem is installed but the version is displayed incorrectly?

second thing is - is anyone using china unicom and can tell me which modem works best for them? their website states their network is GSM 900/1800. the israeli provider is said to be using GSM 1800

whoever plays with efs for unlock codes got imei 00000.........

its delicate procedure and very few got it correctly.. there were some threads in other device forum which teaches to backup efs [imei] so that it can be restored..but never tried to turn my ace into paperweight equivalents

Hi XDA SGS2 community,

I've been following the forums ever since I got my SGS2 half a year ago, looking at various tweaks, fixes and improvements. Currently, I'm using the Logitech Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10vi headset with my SGS2, however, the button does not work for pausing or playing music or receiving and ending calls, and the microphone also does not receive any sound input.

I have tested this with my friend's iPhone 4S and it works perfectly. I am well aware that this headset is deemed "incompatible" with Android headsets, however there have been threads where users with the Triplefi 10vi have worked with the SGS2.

5th I went back to a old restore (the stock rom i mention before)

And staring from here thing start to go wrong....

Sometimes i got my phone to go offline mode suddenly.

Loose of signal...

Well i reflashed with other kernels.... to try to fix the issue....

I think i got it... but then i got a new problem

The echo cancellation mic doesnt let me to be heard fine....

Now i re-lock the phone restoring the EFS folder...

Both problems persists =(

Im pretty sad about this phone and what happened to me.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajrulez:
I am kind of amazed with what I am seeing, and am wondering if someone on XDA can help me understand this. So I was running CM7.x on my MT4G for over an year, and this past weekend I switched to CoreDroid because I wanted to try out Sense.

I had a bad feeling about the battery usage because the ROM was "heavier" than CM7.x in terms of UI, Graphics (of course because of Sense 3.5). I went ahead and installed the ROM anyways.

Within a couple of hours, I went from being fully charged to 5% battery....it was draining faster than anything I have seen before. I read CoreDroid release notes and they had mentioned about this severely fast battery drain.

Based on their recommendation, I fully charged the phone once battery level reached 5%. This time, my battery lasted about 17-18 hours, and again I fully charged it when it reached 5%.

Now after the second recharge, its been about 24 hours and I am at 97% battery. I didn't believe CoreDroid release notes that battery life will become better after couple of recharges; I thought it was a bunch of bull to get people to install their ROM.

I am glad to say I was wrong :-) Can someone please explain this battery calibration deal to me?

Best link ever; most informative.

- I think everyone loves Dianne now.

- Someone has a flying car already ...

- In the middle of the most intellectual and technical discussion of battery usage that I have seen, someone asks what is the best facebook app - brilliant!

So...

1. Battery stats are calculated differently per phone and OS version.

2. Battery stats reporting is definitely not %100 accurate.

3. Battery percentage is calculated differently per phone and OS version.

4. Battery percentage reporting is definitely not %100 accurate.

5. On some phones, you can override battery charging limitations by 'bumping'.

6. 'Bumping' is not recommended as can shorten your battery life.

They actually did not cover the OP situation where you let that battery go below 5%, although I am always guilty of skim reading. Still, extremely informative and explains a lot of previously posted battery phenomena.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajrulez:
Wow, that made up for intense reading - thanks a lot.

It can't be something in my head for sure, If the difference was say a couple of hours I probably would have agreed with "the lady at Google" :-) But I went from 2-3 hours to 24+ hours, so yes it's not in my head :-)

Thanks again for your feedback.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
well, the best battery calibration app Ive used is Battery Calibration by NeMa, but now after reading this thread it seems that they dont really do anything:rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaibar:
The drain-charge cycles is just a way to calibrate the battery- takes more time to "forget" the old stats, so people either use an app or manually delete the battery statistics so one can start accumulating fresh statistics.

After a few days you get your statistics right, from then on the battery indicator will be more or less accurate.

Battery drainage has nothing to do, really, with how many times you'll calibrate or drain/ charge or whatever. It has to do with how much you use screen on, Wifi, BT, gps, partial wakelocks, apps syncing etc. In other words- use your phone and be assured battery is going to drain. Leave it alone, let it sleep- battery will last a couple of days...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobraboy85:
just to clarify, and sorry for butting in, but there is no such thing as "calibrating your battery"... this has been debunked by many people who understand android's Linux kernel and even an android engineer at Google.

the batterystats.bin file is simply that, a bin. it does nothing more than collect dumped statistics of what exactly has been using your battery, how long, how much power those processes used, etc. it has absolutely nothing to do with your phone's ability to display correct information about how much juice you have left - that function is within the Linux kernel which monitors, and controls power throughout the device.

ask yourself this... ever flashed a ROM with say 50% power left on a charge? what happens after your first boot? does your phone suddenly have no idea how much charge is left? no. it doesn't. because the new kernel you just flashed with your ROM is picking up right where you left off.

wiping battery stats is useless. period. it.does absolutely nothing to better battery life. that is fact. that is your phone. that is your Linux platform and straight truth in how it works.

and since it is stored in the data directory, every time you flash a ROM and wipe data, you are wiping the battery stats... so why do you boot up and do it again... I know... good question.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajrulez:
Yep, agree with your comments 100%. After reading the link posted by estallings15 earlier in this thread, the myth of battery calibration was busted :-)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwill107:
I agree with most that Battery Calibration is a joke, and doesn't mean anything. However, batteries in many devices (not just our Cell Phones) seem to benefit from proper discharge/full charge cycles. In fact, it's usually recommended in things like electric RC cars that you completely run down the battery as far as you can go (realistically of course!) prior to charging; also to prolong battery life. I always notice at least slightly longer use times if I don't always pop the thing on a charger at 75%. But go with what works for ya, and of course some roms DO drain faster than others. And less screen haha :D

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
I think the lack of source code and developers (we only have 4, although quality ones) are the main reasons why we don't have multiple kernels available. So far we only have Sense 3.0 source code and only one unlockable? Kernel from bananacakes.

I personally think the phones performs extremely well without overclockable kernel. It would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I think Vivid still trumps skyrocket with its solid feel and more accurate detailed screen. Really though, I'm a huge fan of Sense.
