[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] armoguy94:
Did more research and now I understand the situation. I think you correct, unfortunately. Currently, Google Wallet can only be run on Nexus devices (officially or unofficially) because not only do they have an NFC chip, but they also have a chip alongside that, which is called the secure element. The secure element is where all the credit card and sensitive information are stored when using Google Wallet. To ever support the SGSII, I believe Google will have to redesign their product to work with phones that do not have a secure element, like all of the SGSIIs, including ours, the T989.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
Thats too bad...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nauckwj:
Had a thought.. I think you can buy SDCards that have a SecureElement built in. Quite possibly, this would work..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wilsonium:
Yes, you can get an SD card with a secure element. You can also get a SIM card. FWIW, ISIS is soft launching this weekend in Austin. We'll find out which secure element solution from Gemalto they chose and probably get more information about availability from the big 3 carriers. ISIS recently signed with Capital One, Chase and Barclaycard. It'll be up to the carriers to pick up the ball after that to have whatever option is announced... either a new SIM or a new SD card.

Google wallet probably won't be compatible unless Google Wallet is updated to work with these secure elements.

I know it's not Google Wallet but it's an alternative.

Count me in for the $10. I live in Chicago so I see NFC accessible places quite often.

I got it to bypass to the setup, but for some reason my NFC wouldn't turn on.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artisticcheese:
Hello,

Anybody knows if I can use my SIM card from Skyrocket in another LTE phone from ATT? Like can I put into Nitro HD and have LTE speeds? During activation ATT customer service asked me for IMEI number of my Skyrocket phone so I assume it's bound somehow to phone device?

Thanks,

G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
Yes you can. I swapped between my vivid and skyrocket every day when I had it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artisticcheese:
And you still got LTE connection on both of them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
Of course. It doesn't tie lte to imei

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
i put my skyrocket sim in the older htc inspire and it fired up fine. was only getting 3g on that though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yyhd:
Yea, but that's because the inspire isn't LTE, right? It's only hspa+, which is 3.5G. Am I wrong?

Does anyone have an optimized version of screencast I can use because the creator of this said it was for armv7 devices but I just wanted to know if anyone have this app for there wildfire s?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jedskie:
Admittedly, samsung's touchwiz (and the little dock of apps) is kind of amazing. The dock that pops from the bottom is quite handy. Anyone thought of adding this interface on their custom rom?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
It would be pretty hard because TouchWiz like other UI's are deep in the system.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redandwhitearmy:
insert dock using wizz bar app in HC....nothing big...iths there in market.... and except for that htc is better in terms of lockscreen , weather etc ....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I use "Circle Launcher" Its a configurable dock widget available on the market. I think its much better
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
Funny, the first thing I do when I get a Samsung is install a launcher.:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jedskie:
Hmmm... tried looking for "wizz bar app" from the android market but no luck. But I do agree that HTC is better! It's just that when I tried a galaxy tab 8.9 (which I am thinking of getting as a replacement for my HTC Flyer) I kind of appreciated the dock that pops up from the bottom bit of the tab!

Epic Touch APN backup. I want to see if someone could post their backup file using apn backup. Of course remove your phone number info. When I use apn backup and I open file in notepad. It is a couple of pages. I think my apn settings are messed up. I have problems receiving mms files. Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aceyo:
Instead of doing the usual VOLDOWN + PWR and then waiting a couple minutes to get into the bootloader and selecting recovery, is there any button combination to boot directly to recovery?

i have AMON-RA 2.2.1 if that makes any difference
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Nope.

Couple of min? It's 2 sec to bootloader, and another 10-15 sec to recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
If you're rooted use Quickboot

Rom manager, a number of roms also come with 4way reboot mod which gives us the option to reboot to recovery on press of the power button
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kylemail2003:
pretty much rom manager is the way I do it.. There should be a way to do it like you say op
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4504855:
You could go with a rom manager. I know CWM does it. Also if you don't mind you can use the cable and adb (assuming you have the sdk-tools) from your computer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Hey guys and gals!

I installed the "AOKP maguro Milestone 2" rom yesterday, and have been running without problems.

But a few hours ago, while i was randomly browsing the android market, the phone suddently froze, and rebooted after a few seconds.

I didn't worry, as I've had that happen before on other custom rom's.

But, but. After waiting at the "Google" logo for a few seconds, the screen got weird, and it rebooted again, and kept doing the same thing.

Also, the Google logo looks weird:

I've tried pulling the battery a lot of times, same thing happens.

Also, fastboot commands won't work.

Adams-MacBook-Pro:platform-tools adam$ ./fastboot flash recovery cwmr_touch_beta5_maguro.img
ERROR: could not clear input pipe; result e00002ed, ignoring...
ERROR: could not clear output pipe; result e00002ed, ignoring....
sending 'recovery' (5520 KB)...
ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002ed
FAILED (command write failed (No such file or directory))
finished. total time: 0.000s

Any ideas? Do I need to return the phone?

Regards, Adam Honoré.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David Horn:
Have you tried using ODIN instead of fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
What kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
were you using a GPU overclocked kernel? and also try ODIN like David said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
I used franco.kernel. I didn't set OC on it.

Also, I just tried ODIN. It stops after a few seconds. Been sitting there for a while (30 mins)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
Can you still get into the bootloader and/or CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
I can get into ODIN and Bootloader mode just fine. I can do OEM lock and unlock. Everything else doesn't work :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpaceCaker:
I think you just got 3d on your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jan-willem3:
I see you are using an macbook pro?

Maybe try with a windows pc. By the way you cant boot in recovery and do a wipe and try to boot again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
I have a PC for gaming (Used ODIN on that one)

Also, I can't boot recovery. Gives the same weird artifacted Google logo, with a clockworkmod logo on top of it ^^

I can throw up a video of you want
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soutaiseiriron:
What did you try to fastboot that didn't work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Flashing recovery, booting recovery. None working :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Today i've seen some similar glitches on screen but after rebooting phone everything looks fine again. Why i'm posting here? I'm on AOKP build 18 and franco.kernel b#14.4 which overclocks GPU by nearly 30%. Going to flash some other kernel ASAP :/

I know, this doesn't help you, but perhaps it will save a phone for someone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soutaiseiriron:
Sorry I couldn't help. It looks like I/O errors but I could be wrong. I personally think you may have to send it in but maybe someone here can help. Sorry again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dk_iceman:
doesn't sound good...

im also on AOKP build 21 and franco kernel 14.4

wich kernel to flash instead ?? can somebody tell me where to find the original kernel so i can get that on instead ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
This freaks me out. Im running aokp build 21 with franco 14.4

Think ill flash another kernel or go 100 % stock again till someone figure this out. Did you tallk to the devs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
That's what i did - went back on default AOKP kernel until Franco will find out what's going on. I have attached stock kernel from AOKP Build 20 (flash from CWM).

No, not yet. I just found this thread and quickly flashed stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dk_iceman:
thanks for the kernel... will the stock 20 work whit my AOKP 21 ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Okay. By using ODIN very quickly after booting I got it to "Writing NAND", then it stopped again. Seems like it is only able to connect for a few seconds after boot.

After not moving for about 20 mins, I disconnected it. Now it won't boot anything. Gives me a weird icon with a phone and a pc and a exclamation mark between them. And my PC recognizes it as "OMAP4400" in devices.

ODIN still sees it, and can get as far as "Set PIT file.." then it stops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
It shouldn't be the o/c of the gpu, most are only clocked to where the chip was designed to run in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
There's no kernel related changes between b20 and b21 so it should. Have some other kernel on phone storage just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Okay, can get it all the way to "NAND Write Start!!" In ODIN if I press the "Start" button instantly when It boots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Some are pushing above and beyond 384mhz. I've seen some 512 overclocks out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
I was running regular AOKP, and regular franco.kernel.

No unusual settings or anything.

This happened a day after flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
I also don't think it's the GPU, franco's kernel is currently clocked at 384 as of the most recent nightly according to his release notes

And you're sure you have the correct drivers installed on your windows machine? When you try to fastboot on windows does it give a write error?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
This isn't a driver problem :P Got the same problem on both my MacBook and my PC.

Also, phone won't even boot recovery now. Won't even show "Google" logo ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
Your best bet may be to just lock the phone and bring it in for a replacement, since fastboot and odin are really your last lines of defense

Did your phone feel hot when it first rebooted? Something may have overheated...more of a guess, but a random reboot seems weird for it to be the kernel or ROM if it was working fine for a while
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Can't lock it. Can't get into bootloader ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
Try to use a MicroUSB Jig to enter on Download Mode.

Maybe just mass hysteria, but I'm on AOKP and Franco as well and I just received my GNex yesterday. I'm going to flash stock ROM and root. Nothing more in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmc:
I think i may be bricked as well. Flashed francos 14.4 kernel and got stuck at google screen. I have no idea what to do now. I can get into recovery but honestly i dnt know what to do.

Help anyone, please lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dk_iceman:
don't think you are bricked then...

get the stock Kernal file from this tread, then try flashing it trough fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmc:
ive got kernel just not sure how to flash through flashboot....mind helping me out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Heppieboeddah:
Extract the .zip. Place the boot.img in the dir where you have fastboot. Start the phone in the fastboot-modus.Open a command prompt for that dir and type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmc:
I'm such a newb but i have no idea where the fastboot directory is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Please don't hijack this thread..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Heppieboeddah:
Well in recovery, flash youre rom again..thats an option as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmc:
I dont have a rom. All i was doing was flashing a kernel. The kernel was for a diff version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jan-willem3:
So you can relock the bootloader? If yes then you can just send your phone back.

This error is an IO error for sure so there is something wrong with the memory.

And maybe the galaxy nexus toolkits can bring you back to stock who knows but I would try to flash the primekl01 bootloader if you didnt have or maybe reflash radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Heppieboeddah:
If you made a nadroid before flashing the kernel. Restore the nandroid back-up. Or try wipe-data/factory-reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericmc:
Made a mistake and didnt make a backup. Ive wiped countless times and still no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
ericmc, make your own thread, thanks!

Also, I can't lock the bootloader, as I can't get to the bootloader..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
Try the Galaxy Nexus toolkit and if that fails use ODIN 1.3, and as said please don't make this thread about your issues of forgetting to make a nandroid backup...you can make your own thread for it

...going back on topic, now you can't even get into the bootloader? When you hold both volume keys and hold power button from a powered off state what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
No matter what I press when I boot, I get this:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
I really wish I could help you in person, cuz this sucks.

From: http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode

If the phone is "semi-bricked"; i.e., the "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture appears on power up (perhaps from a bad ROM flash):

Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.

Remove and replace the battery.

Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.

Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down.

4. If the phone does not allow you to go into Download mode after trying the aforementioned steps above you can try this method to "force" it into download mode:

Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.

Remove the Battery, SIM Card, and any External SDCards.

With the Battery removed plug the USB into your phone.

While holding both the Up+Down Volume button and the USB is plugged into your phone - put the battery back into the back of the phone. You should see the Download mode screen pop up.

If you see the Powered Off Charging screen - attempt the above steps again.

5. If NONE of the steps work after trying multiple times to attempt to get your phone into Download Mode:

You can build a "Jig" from the directions found here.

also this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yYAGIrKEhI
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Guess I'll have to make myself a jig..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
This isn't a GPU failure. i had the same issue with my galaxy S2. its the NAND chip that is faulty due to a bad flash or some sort. in my case it happened when i was simple wiping data in recovery, when i restarted it was completely dead and when i used Odin it got stuck at NAND Write start.

I had to send my phone back to Samsung and they repaired it under warranty. i had sent it to another company which specialised in JTAG repairs and they were the ones that told me it was a NAND chip that had gone kaput.

if you cant get it working with a USB jig then send it to Samsung. they should hopefully treat it as a hardware failure and repair it for you..

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cundiffr:
Is your Galaxy Nexus GSM or CDMA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
i had this problem 2 weeks ago (or at least,graphically it seems the same)but fastboot for me worked at half....

recovery didn't flash via fastboot

cwm non uusable

i had messed up bootloader i think,and trying reflash,odin etc not work.i save my gnex with the reflash of the bootloader....i don't read last 2 pages of this 3ad,but if you can enter at least 1 times in fastboot-mode ,try flash bootloader.

used this

hope it helps,but your situation seems too hard....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trixnrice:
i got stuck in semi brick mode, at samsung screen of reboot (same as google on gnex), but on the Samsung Infuse 4G. Bootloader, recovery, all NON accessible. I had to put it into download mode as somebody had suggested earlier. I then used Heidmall on mac to flash the stock rom. Luckily there's a one click version of heidmall for the infuse (not having to manually input what files to flash). ...have u been able to put it into download mode and have you tried using heidmall (as opposed to odin)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
Okay, this sucks! I was planning to go 100% stock this morning, and put my phone to charge last night. But when I woke up this morning the phone is dead and doesn't respond to anything ! I checked if it was the charger. It wasn't. So now I have a brick myself. Sorry for quoting myself, but I think you guys need to reed this. If you are running Franco kernel, flash stock kernel! I don't know what causes this, but it has to have something to do with the aokp+Franco combo.

I'll return it to where I bought it, and hope they give me a New nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrAdamH:
Thanks. Ill send it in for repair monday :-(

I was afraid that this was due to some kind of corrupt memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qsec:
Edit: saw that you were running 14.4

First my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Did you run 14.4?

Really hope you can bring her back to life somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fireon123:
Thanks for sharing this and I do hope that you will find some sort of solution to the problem! =)

I flashed AOKP B21 and franco 14.4 yesterday and was terrified when I saw this. I can however confirm that flashing the B20 original kernel works for B21.

I am sharing the original kernel that was previously mentioned here again for anyone who needs it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6775377/AOKP_Stock_Kernel.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ganex:
What about Apex 1.0 and franco.kernel 14.4 ???

Do someone experience similar issues or is it just a fk14.4 and aopk prob ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
Yeah, I upgraded from 14.2 to 14.4.

I tried to pull the battery 10-20 times, and nothing happened. So I tried to press all three buttons while intert the battery, and I got the bootloader screen. I quickly flashed the 4.0.1 google image I had on my computer via fastboot, and thankfully it worked. After booting up I got 4.0.2 OTA, and everything seems to work just fine. I think I'll stick to stock/root for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dk_iceman:
Good to hear you got it working again...

I flashed Stock kernel last night because of this but I'm still on AOKP, thinking about flashing back to stock again.. or back to Revolution HD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qsec:
What was the charge of the battery when you got it up and running again?

I mean if it was low this could could all have been an issue of a completely empty battery. Maybe an app that gone berserk or such?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
The charge was 96 %

So it seems it happened after the phone finished charging. But nothing is wrong now. It could have been a bad flash. But the phone was working fine before I went to bed. And it was 100% unresponsive this morning. Didnt react to charging or battery pull. Normally you will se this battery charging animation, even when the phone is off. I didnt see anything.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

It might not have been the kernel or the ROM. Maybe I had a bad flash or a bad NANDchip. You'll never know. But you always except a risk when you flash custom firmware or kernels. Right now I am running stock w. Root. I am missing the features of aokp a little, but the phone is just as fast running stock. Haven't been running stock since the first week I got this phone. But there no big difference in performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
There are some folks here that really misuse the word, 'brick' and cause panic (not talking about the OP).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sambarboza:
Same happened to me.

I've just did "fastboot oem lock" so I was able to flash anything else again.
