try rewipe and reinstall ?

As I know, to get someone call your phone just solve the home-button issues.

I never met lock screen problem. I am using RC5 + Update 2 , try this combination. Also remember , don't directly flash update package after installation. Following these steps: Install RC5 - (reboot) - Install Update 1 - (reboot) - Install Update 2 - (reboot) - Call from others phone to unlock home button.

Hope this help. Good Luck , bro.

Is it only the stock rom support HDMI output, all custom rom doesn't support?

Or is there any custom rom that is based on stock rom and also does support HDMI output?

Is this the latest method to root S2? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

And how long do i have to charge S2 for the very first time?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Stock ROM, or any ROM based on stock. It needs the Samsung framework. So nothing that is pure AOSP (such as CM or MIUI) will work. If you want a ROM that is as close to AOSP as possible that still supports the MHL adapter, try GingerMOD.

See above, but there are many others. I don't personally use any of them (I'm still on stock, rooted, modded myself), so I can't recommend one above any others. It's a personal preference anyways, so you should just try some and decide yourself.

It is one of many methods, and one that I can personally vouch that it works, as I've used it before. Just use the correct insecure kernel for your build.

..... Til it hits 100%?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohwh1:
Thanks what I'm asking is I thought I have to charge 8hours or 10hours on first charge or it's not required?

If I stay stock, and install custom kernel will it still support hdmi to tv?

Which is the most stable kernel that also include undervolting? You recommended insecure kernel, what about the others three?

New to s2

Hi

I have come from htc and find the s2 completely different. Managed to upgrade the firmware from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 using xxKL1 and must say everything run smoothly . Was looking to root using superoneclick and odin . But when i download a rooted kernel and extract the zip , i end up with another zip file, extract that and i end up with a Zimage file .is this the file i am supposed to load into odin.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
FYI, I have an amendment to my earlier post above. Apparently CyanogenMod9 (an AOSP ICS based ROM) has got MHL support working, which is for the HDMI out. So if you care to you can try that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I don't think so. I just charged to 100%.

The kernel has no bearing on the MHL support for HDMI out. So as long as you're still stock, any one of these will do.

If you are dead set on undervolting, then don't bother with SpeedMod - it doesn't support it. However, from many reports, this kernel has awesome battery life anyways, so apparently doesn't need it.

The kernels in the thread "Insecure Kernels for use with rooting" are pretty much stock kernels, just made insecure by Odia to allow root. They're otherwise completely stock AFAIK.

I don't have any experience with Phenomenal, so I can't comment on that one.

Herp derp, like I said below, Phenomenal is based on SpeedMod, so if you're interested in undervolt, don't bother with this one either.

I'm personally using Siyah, but I'm a bit behind on version... I'm still on 2.6.4. But it works great, so I've had no need to update to the latest version yet.

And I didn't exactly "recommend insecure". I just said you needed to use ANY insecure kernel to obtain root. But if you flash SpeedMod or Siyah, I believe it automatically roots your phone for you. Phenomenal is based SpeedMod, so I'm guessing it should do the same, but I don't know because it doesn't say anything about it on the dev's thread.

No offense friend, but ALL this information on the kernels I just gave you are readily available in the threads YOU linked. You would be very well served by reading, reading, and do some more reading.

EDIT: I also remembered; so the kernels from the "Insecure Kernels for use with rooting" thread won't support undervolting, as they are pretty much stock, aside from being insecure. So out of the ones you listed, if you

absolutely want

undervolt, you will have to go Siyah.

EDIT 2: Looks like I should take my own advice about reading. Read the Phenomenal thread - apparently the dev introduced undervolting, so that kernel supports undervolt as well. So for undervolt, out of what you listed, your choices are Phenomenal and Siyah.

I Followed Intratech"s Firmware guide to root my s2. First tried the doomLord method but did not work,think because i am on 2.3.6. So i used odin and super one click method and am now rooted with with superuser and cwm the only problem i have is when i connected odin for the second time to flash a stock kernel i downloaded , odin froze (twice) , phones working fine but with yellow triangle on start-up.Should I try the tar file that i downloaded with my firmware and use that in pda on odin to get a stock kernel ,or should i use a usb jig . Could i still flash a custom rom with this yellow triangle.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regalpimpin:
I've got a Veho360 bluetooth speaker which is the same thing but a plastic casing instead of metal.

Sure its a cheap speaker in a can, a very small can.. But it also gets pretty darn loud, and sounds surprisingly good for what it is. Plus, it cannot be beat for portability/quality of sound.

The Veho's are available on amazon typically in the 30 dollar range.

I've thought about ordering one of these before just because of the color options, and the metal casing.

OK. So I restored back to the stock Kindle Fire rom. After I did that, it restarted like 3 times and now it's unrooted. I'm pretty sure it didn't update itself. But I'm not sure.

Also, Kindle Fire Utility won't detect my kindle, so I can't use that to reroot. What would be the easiest way to root it again? I don't want to go through the hell that I experienced last time aha.

thanks :D

Actually I'm having a very similar problem. My Kindle Fire automagically unrooted and now it isn't being recognized in any adb at all. I'm even using Ubuntu Linux right now and "adb devices" doesn't recognize my KF.

Before unrooting, my Kindle Fire had stock rom with no recovery. Just rooted to have access to default android market. I don't know what to do right now.
[General Questions and Answers] V@no:
Hello.

On LG Nitro HD (ATT) the space around clock in the taskbar has static width, it doesn't change when selected 24H mode:

On LG Optimus LTE (which is same phone but different carrier) the space is dynamic:

(I'm not certain that it's changes only after switching mode, I think it also update width to fit the clock, 11:11 would have different width then 00:00)

I've tried use /system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml from the Optimus (with little modification to make compatible), but it didn't change a thing, it still stayed static.

So evidently that space is controlled somewhere else.

Does anyone know where I need look at to make it dynamic?

Thank you.

Like the title says, each time i try to install rom manager from the market (or cwm recovery), it won't let me due to the device being incompatible? The paid version of rom manager works but not the free version.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vongola27:
I got an unlocked galaxy s2x and im currently using it with wind. Everything is fine when i have full bars in areas with good reception. In areas with poor reception such as my basement and certain parts of the city, it says I have 2-3 bars and the signal quality is around -93db and everything sucks after. My friends ask why they cant connect to me and people on the other end of my phone calls say that my voice is scrambled. For text and mms messages, when I try to send them it almost always fails.

Just wondering, anyone having similar issues? Is it my device? Are other people on the wind, moblicity or even telus networks also experiencing this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Aviator747:

Its strange though cause when I had my samsung vibrant, I was able to make calls and recieve messages in my basement. I decided to test my s2x and vibrant together in my basement. The vibrant had a db level of -103 and my s2x has -94db. I was able to make calls and people said my voice wasnt distorted at all. When I tried with the s2x again, people said they couldnt hear me or they said my voice was scrambled and distorted.

I dont know if its my radio or if its with wind. If its the radio, im hoping an update from telus would be able to fix it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sighx:
I'll be honest with your half of your issue is WIND related. Not phone related. I use to be with Wind and I can tell you.. I hated it. I live in an apartment so even at times my phone (previously) would randomly disconnect itself and reconnects.. or I'd have 1 - 2 bars. I'm in the major city of Toronto so signal is no exception.. However.. its not the same.. as they say. The signal I receive from Wind was horrible. I had to go back with Telus and I've had next to no problem with Telus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
I have the exact same setup and not having that severe of a issue at all. I do have trouble with certain spots within toronto but most of the time it works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheyenne:
I'm not so sure that it is depends only with operator.

I'm leaving in Europe, but have similare problems with scrambled voice during phone calls and drops calls.

Before I used Samsung Vibrants, Captivate and Infuse. All of them works in same locations without any problems and voice quality was amazing.

I tested two different unlocked Herculeses t989, with two differnt operators and all available radio' modems for AT&T/Rogers Skyrockets and T-Mobile/Telus T-989. Both t-989 have same issues with all modems and voice quality worst compare Infuse/Captivate/Vibrant.

Both t989 runs stock rooted roms

My operator data range:

GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900Mhz/1800Mhz

UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA+ 2100Mhz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
well in OP's case it's definitely Wind the phone network, if you go to the Wind forum, you can see people complaining the same thing with every and any cell phone ever built :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SGS2X:
I'd say 80% of it is Wind's fault, and 20% the phone. Flash the T-Mobile radio and see if it makes a difference. When I made the switch to Wind from Mobilicity, EVERY text would fail even though they have a tower less than a km from my house. I flashed the T-Mobile radio from Mr. X's thread and now I've had a dramatic change in service quality.

I wonder if I did that when I was with Mobilicity, maybe it would have made things better too :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
People do complain but its also exaggerated and inflated by rumours by their competitors. I remember this Guy from bell who said its much better to go with them because wind phone calls will fail a third of the time which is simply not true. It fails maybe 1 out of 15 times and I'm not paying 80 dollars per month to be with Rogers or bell. If I'm paying the lowest rate on the market right now I'm gonna expect occasional failures in service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i've never had a failed call

and if i do, is only when i have absolutely no connection as in Zero bars (which well it;s very obvious why lol :p )

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vongola27:
I can tell you right now its not wind. I've been with them for almost a year now and everything has been solid except when i go out of the city and I have to pay for extra roaming charges. I used my samsung vibrant (t959) on winds network since day 1 right till I got the s2x. I was able to make calls in my basement and in areas with 1-2 bars and everything just worked fine. With my s2x, when i have 1-2 even sometimes 3 bars, calls dont get connected through, my messages wont send or recieve, and my data doesnt work. I have to have the full 4 bars for it to be able to work well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mangelok:
No reception issues here

I live in Kitchener and I've had the Optimus 2X and now the Galaxy S2X on WIND. I haven't noticed any differences in reception, but it could be that I just don't notice. My brother has the G2X now - there's a spot near the university that should be covered that I've been having issues getting a signal with. Perhaps I'll take his phone and test it out sometime.

I definitely don't have as much issue as the previous poster. Even with 2 bars of service my data and texting works fine. 0 to 1 bar is a little sketchy, but that's to be expected. I flashed the T-Mobile radio the second day I got this phone, just because I thought it would help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidsyrup:
i could be wrong but isn't there u can buy signal booster from telus?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i don't think Wind sells Signal Boosters, and most people will not even know how to install one or want to afford one, as average price is around $350

if you buy one for Telus it will not offer AWS for Wind

so why would you want to get a signal booster from Telus? it does not compute

I have successfully been able to boot my Nook Tablet to boot from a microSD card. But it behaves as if it has same demon inside doing weird things.

It is starting videos on its own. Videos that I have never seen or even heard about. It goes to Google market on its own. It also just keeps making all kinds of weird things.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
How can this be fixed?

One more thing: This weird behavior was only happening while the device was charging from an iPad charger. The main difference between the two chargers is that the iPad charger outputs 2 A while the Nook Tablet charger only outputs .5 A

My guess is that it is related to the large current going to the device.

so you are saying u fried you motherboard? never go up in amps, only down.

I thought one could use any USB charging device to charge the NT. Obviously I was wrong.

Wondering if there is any way, or any ROM that has all the CM7 Modifications on an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM. I like ICS, but I love all the CyanogenMod 7 Settings. I tried out MeDroid CM9 but it didn't have many tweaks and mods.

Is there any way to implement this on TexasICS for some other ROM?

[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
sorry, i meant cm9 not cm7

has far as which ones, Cyanogen will determine that

now, on medroid there is only auto backlight and some notification widget options. which you already know, since I misread your first post

i don't know that the n1 is getting much love from Cyanogen, with newer phones continuing to come out. it's only what the devs can port
[HTC Desire S] -Ram-:
Hi guys, i have 2 questions for you :)

1- I want to flash a 2.3.7 ROM, but the only thing stopping me from that is the "HTC sense weather widget with the clock" (check the picture) and the fact that i'm going lose the home screen animation :( so is it possible to download it or install it and have full functionality with the screen animation and everything?

2- I want a stable ROM and i dont know which to chose "Reaper V1.4 - CM7mod" or "CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly Builds" which one is more stable and YOU prefer and why?

I dont want a boring ROM, i want something that i can change a lot of stuff when i get bored.

I know i can try both, but i dont like flashing my phone a lot!! i'm now using Endymion V2.2 and already there is Endymion V3.4 but i didn't updated it because i didn't had any problems and there is not any major changes in v3.4 :)

Thanks a lot!

You guys are awesome! :D
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
1. A combination of BeWeather Pro (from Market - check out the video) and Beautiful widgets and Home Screen Weather animations should take you close to the Sense Weather experience, but it will NEVER be Sense.

2. Use Reaper. Reason? - Best in class Support. Regular and significant Updates. Lowveld's Tweaks (that's like a separate category of goodies in itself!!). And it's synced with the CM7 source anyway...

I was running bionix from before I decided to switch. I flashed back to stock via Odin and flashed to ICS Passion v11. It's an excellent ROM but my battery life is abysmal.

Yeah same for me.. I had to buy the Samsung Galaxy Epic 4g 1800mAh battery.. It solved my problem. You can get one on amazon for like 20 bucks. It's totally worth it. For some reason the 1500mAh battery gets random drains on this ROM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejussme:
It's not just this ROM. I have noticed it on all the ICS Roms. Some of the apps are not configured properly for ICS yet, thus the battery drain. When you re-install your apps using Titanium Backup try not restoring data.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpatt:
To get best battery life all you need to do is "Charge Cycles"

For ICS Passion v8,

Charge Cycle means completely charging your phone too 100%, reboot and LET IT DRAIN UPTO 0%

Now charge it to 100% again without interuption and then reboot.

This is one/first charge cycle. Also get unused toggles off and remove unused widgets.

I would add that you need to go into Clockwork Mod manager by rebooting your phone, selecting advanced, wipe battery stats, repeat after drain to 0 and recharge to 100%
