[Galaxy S I9000 General] psyqiq:
woolf clubs it is almost impossible to fry the sd card just by flashing something.This is ackward.Only an overload of electricity through the USB ports would cause that, if it`s possible.I don`t see any other logical way for such a thing to happen when it comes to frying hardware, in which case it is very unfortunate.

BenzOzzy here is some info about some modems and regions : http://tinyurl.com/3yh3e3m, although even if you flash a modem that is not ment for your region, it does not necessarily mean it will perform worse. Nobody can tell you what modem is best for a specific region, only if someone had some good feedback with it, therefore you have to search the xda (in your case) for users that had a good feedback with a specific modem in australia. Though the JVT modem should do just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BenzOzzy:
Ok, thanks psyqiq.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

Actually i apologize, i believe i should have been asking you about which is the best CSC file not the modem.

Wouldn't the CSC be specific to my provider, with apk and their apps? (all the bloatware my wife seems to like)

I seem to recall with OPTUS its 'OPS' something or other... (GT-I9000-CSC-XXX OPS) or (CSC_I9000------.tar.md5) or something like.

Sorry if i've hijacked your thread here, i am gonna update her phone tonight if all goes well and want it to go well

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psyqiq:
BenzOzzy forget about CSC in ICS.There is no ICS firmware for i9000 and therefore no CSC either.We can only flash cm modems and some kernels like glitch, devil or semaphore.That's it.After all, this is just a port rom.Happy flashing!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ddrulze:
Actually Ics roms are MULTI-CSC and doestnt need additional CSC files ..just flash ...nd enjoy!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pedaone:
try JVU

Hey BenzOzzy,

ICSSGS uses the JVU Modem which seems to work for most of the people, i changed modems in the past release reading that it would also affect battery life.

in ICSSGS RC4.2 i kept the JVU modem, gives me performance as usual and battery life is good as well (btw. using semaphore 0.8.1 kernel ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BenzOzzy:
Ahh, i've run into a problem at this point, when it all was going accordingly

Actually i noticed a problem when i tried to add ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 to my sd card. I could not see the sd card on the list so i dumped it into the root directory, disconnected the usb cable then browsed the phone where i can see the sd card directory and manually moved ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 into it that way.

Problem is, when i go to install zip from sd card > choose zip from sd card > i cant find the rom zip...but i can see that ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 is in the sd card.....wtf?

I hope that my stupidity makes sense.

Any ideas that can help. :confused: ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psyqiq:
BenzOzzy actually you do not have to see a folder named "sd card" while in clockworkmod recovery, therefore when you copy the rom prior to flashing you copy it on the internal sd root. Just set your phone to mass storage, connect the phone to PC and it will detect 2 sd cards, one internal and one external (if you have one).Just double-click the internal one from my computer and you`re there on the root location (G: for example, copy the rom here).That`s it.Now just go to cwm and flash it.

mmm... it should be open Odin THEN connect phone to PC to have Odin work properly, isn't it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jakehalligan:
as in title: after installing latest OTA update friday, the headphone jack stopped outputting sound.

plug the ol' klipsches in and nothing. sound keeps coming out of phone speaker.

(yes, i did confirm they work on anther device. yes, i did try another set of headphones on razr. no sound)

never been a problem before, pretty good assumption that it's software related.

searching the interweb and forums but no one else seems to have this issue. dug into settings and there doesn't seem to be an option to adjust/select jack so at a loss.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Headphone jack works fine here with new update. XT912vzw
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
Works on mine after upgrade. Tried two different headsets and both work fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greeky510:
Clear the lint out of the headphone jack. Reach in there with a paper clip or something.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icecreamsandwich:
i just had this problem too.

a simple reboot helped me thought, but im sure you already tried that
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
Weird. After update mine still works. Are you rooted? Maybe flash back to stock to see if it works and then update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidmo:
I am having the exact same problem and I have restarted a couple times, thought I was going crazy
[Motorola Droid RAZR] meteron:
I had the same exact issue. I did not even think to link it to the update. The phone would not detect the headphones. I just kept unplugging and plugging the headphones back in till the phone recognized the headphones, and since then I have not had an issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jonnyzlio:
I had the same problem after the upgrade. Nothing is able to fix it yet, any other suggestions??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jamalleelee:
I had headphone issues with my Razr too. And it appeared to happen after rooting BUT it wasn't related to the rooting at all. It was just a bad headphone jack. Moto seems to have problematic headphone jacks on a few of their phones. I got my replaced.

Try unrooting it and doing a factory restore. If the headphone jack still doesn't work before you root it again then you know what your problem is.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidmo:
Verizon rep told me that the broken headphone jack is a known issues. Call Verizon to get a replacement.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmillado:
It is nothing to do with the upgrade. There seems to be no bugs on the audio script. The solution is to reheat the audio amplifier (placed in the reversed board of headset connector). If not replaced the defective audio amplifier i.c...This will solve your problem.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forstatd:
I have been using my Nook Color to play converted DVD's (using Handbrake...to m4v format), without problems using CM7 for almost a year.... and CM9 (up until nightly 20120126)... Now any recent nightly update produces green diagonal lines through the screen when I try to play. Doesn't matter what player I use...Mobo, Doubletwist, stock player (that comes with CM9)...sometimes I get a error that says "unsupported format". If I convert back to build 20120126, everything is fine... Is it just me? am I missing something? Is m4v no longer supported out of Handbrake? I would appreciate any help!! :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanternoil:
I'm no longer able to play m4v videos either. I don't use the nook to view videos often, but I am on cm9 and tried to run a m4v within the last hour. It didn't work. I'm guessing there may have been an issue with the new kernel.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micahs:
I am on the ICS nightly from 2-20 and I can confirm that a Handbrake converted m4v does play correctly using MX Video Player. (At least for me!) hth

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
I came from the Hercules and I'm currently running Dewizzled 2.5 with Da_G's .42 kernel. If I use system tuner, it has no affect on the cpu... CPU tuner made my phone go into bootloop, and SetCPU makes it restart as soon as I go past 1.62ghz. With my hercules I had no problem running it at 1.89ghz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Hrm thats bizarre on cpu tuner and setcpu... have you tried the .42 with another rom? Also, if your able to use Da_g .42 without any SoD's (sleep of death) then you should really use Da_g .43 as it fixes an init script problem, which is likely why you werent seeing changes with system tuner. Seems alot of people have SoD's with various stock roms on Da_g's post .3 versions... so if you flash another rom and then start having them either flash .3 or change back to your working rom.

.43 Can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20090801&postcount=462

System tuner and setcpu also seem to force the second core online all the time, so its been highly recommended that you use a script to set the o'clock and such. Instructions are here, or if your not too saavy can use twopumpchump's pre-made version which is CWM flashable. (here)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
It seems every cpu app I've tried revert the kernel back to it's stock settings. Faux's kernel is 384-1720 (I think) by default. I wish it was 192 as default. Every time I open up system tuner pro, setcpu, fauxclock, rom toolbox pro.....they don't stick. If anyone has a way of making it stick I know I'd appreciate it. Even if I choose set on boot it doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
Thanks I'll flash that and see if it works :) I have a feeling that it's the mixture of Dewizzled and Da_G lol and I love TDJ's Darkside kernel but right now it's only available for the Hercules so it'll cause the screen orientation issue. Hopefully he'll make a port for the Skyrocket :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nthknd:
I had the same problem but on coke rom with faux.. So I flashed the giedion script.. And now it seem to hold and go now deep sleep, and check it out in the faux kernel section in the development section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
I flashed faux's kernel and used system tuner but it still wouldn't stick until I rebooted... I have minimum set to 192mhz and screen off at 192 as well but in CPU Spy I only see 1728, 540 and Deep Sleep
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
How many overclock apps do you have on you phone at one time? And yes after you've made CPU adjustments click set on boot and reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
1 at I time. I uninstall if it doesn't work before installing the next. i've had my phone with screen off for a while now and it seems that 75% it's staying at 540mhz, barely at deep sleep and rest at 1728mhz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
I actually underclock my processor. To about 1ghz :). As for your deep sleep issue I can't actually say cause I've never had the issue but look around the skyrocket threads. There's a lot of info on it.

Use faux clock for a faux version kernel. With any other kernel I have had great results with set CPU.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Steria:
Today I noticed a crack in the right hand corner of my SGS2 i9100 (see picture). Needless to say, I am looking for ways to fix this issue. The phone works perfectly fine; it is just that crack that bothers me.

It is just the front glass right? ... Can something bad happen to the phone whether I choose not to fix the screen (or wait a long time before I eventually do)?

I found a place who might be able to fix this: http://www.xpresscellularrepair.com/index.html , but I do not know whether this will VOID THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY or not (?).

Does anyone know what SAMSUNG (if I do it in a Samsung store or something like that) charges to replace the screen on a SGS2 i9100?

I am located in the USA; Oklahoma - however, I cannot find an email address or a service center location for an authorized Samsung place who can deal with this. Can anyone help me with this?

// Steria
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Steria:
The place I linked to said that it would take 2 weeks for them to order the screen, and they would take $240 + tax for the job.

I tried to call Samsung USA, but they redirected me to Samsung UK since my phone is a GT-i9100, even though I bough it from www.Expansys-USA.com ... I am just trying to find out what it will cost me to fix this issue...

Will the manufacturers warranty become VOID if I fix it myself or somewhere else who is not Samsung authorized service center?

Also, since the screen is cracked at the moment - can the phone be weakened/harmed in any way since the screen is cracked? Or is it ok to use it like this, and it won't become more damaged? I need to figure this out

if

I am going to use the phone as is instead of fixing it...

Edit:

It looks like it is just the outer glass that is cracked. Is it possible to only get the glass replaced at a place where they do this, instead of replacing the whole front with the housing, glass and digitizer (~$200)?

Here is a link for a outer glass: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Glass...927?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19cda2dc5f <-- Is this the original Gorilla Glass?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Random6:
The fact that its cracked has probabally already voided the warrenty. Anything you try to have covered under a warrenty repair they would probablly just declare as customer induced damage.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Calex93:
There's no way to buy just the outer glass as the screen unit is sealed together with the glass.

If its just the outer glass cracked it should work without much of an issue, but if the internal screen gets affected, it will slowly darken and burn-in in a matter of days / weeks.

I broke the internal screen once, had to buy the parts and fix it myself as customer induced damage is not under warranty.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Prostheta:
Apologies for jumping into this thread late. Everything stated is correct. I would just replace the entire front bezel and screen as per the tutorial I posted. Otherwise it is a question of whether paying for an expensive repair is worth any warranty or guarantee it might give you....as mentioned, it is probably too late for that now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Steria:
I am aware that the warranty do not cover cracked screens; that was not my intention to ask. What I meant was whether the manufacturers warranty (2 years) still is intact, if something happens (crash of OS etc) in the future...

There are a lot of outer screen lenses/glass listed on eBay - wouldn't this work, just replacing the outer glass? I will not try to do this on my own; I'd rather ask a a business here in the area who deals with repairs of cellphones to do this. However, I need to find out the best/proper way to fix this. Also, I must find out what Samsung will charge to fix this (whether it is only the outer glass or the whole screen).

Can I damage the device in any way by using it with the small crack over a long period of time (see picture)?

Also, if you suggest parts for the repair, please provide links to them.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Prostheta:
I doubt it. No manufacturer would uphold a warranty on the windscreen wipers if you'd smashed your car up. You want to be asking them really. They have the answers for what it's worth.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] petzku:
I would take the repair cost/bill to my home insurance company and took the money for repairs from there..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Prostheta:
Sounds about right. If insurance won't cover it (your premiums will likely increase even if they do) then i would recommend cutting and running. Replace it out of your own pocket. It it feasible to wick in a small quantity of water thin cyanoacrylate to stabilise the crack, same as windscreen repair.

I would self-repair. No sending your phone away or dealing with those turds at the insurers.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Steria:
But then the manufacturers warranty (2 years) on the phone will be VOID, am I right? I'm thinking if I get it fixed at a Samsung place, the manufacturers warranty will still be there since it got repaired at an authorized Samsung repair place...

I just need to figure out where I can send it, and what it will cost for them (Samsung) to repair it.

The phone was purchased from Expansys-USA ( http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-209554/ ).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DreadPirateDan:
I'm pretty sure you know that the only way you are going to get a solid answer is by calling up smasung and asknig them. No one here can answer on behalf of them.

If you get it repaired at a repair shop on your own steam this absolutely voids your warranty. Samsung in no way authorises some random third party repair man to do warranty succicient repairs. Generally these are just some guys with minimal technical know-how that you could infact learn yourself from youtube (if these guys are educated at all this is undoubtedly where they received their training).

If you send it in to samsung for repairs, there is a slight chance they will deem it satisfactory to finish the original warranty period, but don't hold your breath. This would all depend on the rest of the phones condition. If it's covered in light scratches and scuff mark/other evidence of dropping it, forget about it. That alone is enough to deem it as excessive physical neglect and void your warranty, even without a cracked screen.

If it's in really good condition otherwise, you might get lucky.

The fact that you have damaged your phone at no fault of Samsung, it is basically a get out of jail free card for them. The only obligation they might have to honouring any warranty for other future issues would be purely out of good will and trying to please their customers - again wouldn't hold your breath on that.

All in all, you will never know where you stand with this unless you give them a call and keep trying till someone actually talks to you instead of trying to pawn you off to the UK.

Best of luck with this, i hope you can work this out.

ps. if it doesn't go your way, keep in mind that plenty of people will pay good money for damaged phones on ebay - sometimes only like 100 dollars less than a brand new one. Perhaps this would be a good path and possibly cheaper than getting it repaired. Hey you could even upgrade to a sgs2 hd or galaxy note :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Prostheta:
Ask them. If so, you're just buying a warranty which does not cover all that much anyway, as you can see.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Steria:
I have seen a gazillion people with iPhones use their devices with cracked screens, and many of those phones had a fully cracked screen...

1. For now, I think I will use the phone as it is (with the little crack). I will put on a screen protector film and just use it as it is. Can this have negative impacts on the phone's health (internal, external) in any way?

2. However, can this cracked piece fall off by any chance or something like that? Can this damage to the screen make the phone more exposed to further damage (from regular use, small car mount vibrations, dropped from small heights etc...)? I really do not want it to become even worse and/or harm the phone further in any way.

3. I am looking to buy a case that offers good protection, and I've seen the Otterbox Commuter, the AGF Ballistic SG and the Case Mate Tough. I did not find the Otterbox Defender for the i9100 though... Does anyone here have experiences with any of these, and can recommend one, or another case which offers good protection? How are these compared to the "S-Line e-Bay case" I currently have? --- (which was not on when the accident happened btw, for some strange reason).

Thank you for answering my questions. I appreciate it very much.

// Steria
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Prostheta:
Cough up the bucks, replace the screen according to my ("uneducated unqualified youtube hack") tutorial, then certainly drop it into an Otterbox or in my case a Taurus. I found my S2 very droppable because of its svelte size and lightness.
