[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] protonova:
I've Owned my S2 LTE I727R for 3 months now, but I've had a serious issue that recently came up.

Whenever I plug my phone in to the Original Charger, I smell a plastic burning smell and it does not charge (plugging into a laptop yields similar results). A quick search indicates that the phone would need to be warrantied/RMA-ed.

My problem is I am rooted, using Sky-Ics RC 6.75 ROM. I am concerned (should i be?) that my modifcation of the phone would void warranty, so I would like to revert it back to stock. The thread in the development forum indicates a usb connection to the phone is neccesary for stock rom revert. Is there a work around for this?

My battery is also currently dead, so to even attempt a revert to stock, I would need to be an external battery charger.

Advice would be much appreciated, I hope I'm not holding 500 dollars of plastic...

the usb port daughterboard only costs $10 to replace. Mine originally came with a rev 4.5 board but i bought about 5 replacements that are rev 4.1 and they work fine in my skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] protonova:
Thanks for the quick response. I did take a look around and couldn't find anything regarding the instructions to replacing the "usb port daughterboard".

As for the actual part, does the REV matter? The ones on ebay appear to be oem or Rev 0.1?

if u just decide to email it, simply use any free FTP server from the market and connect it to ur wifi. Upload a stockish looking rom to ur phone and then flash it with cwm. This should work for ur purposes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Learic:
gounlock.com sells the small daughterboard with the USB port.they carry the different revisions but they just don't have the rev 4.5. They do have the rev 4.1 board on page 2 of the i727 stuff. That's where I've ordered my parts from.

Just watchout, my USB went on fire when I had it plugged in to my phone.

I just called att and they are sending me a replacement over mine. it isnt completely borked...i can at least hold it in place long enough to revert
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Personally, if I buy a $600 phone and I so much as even SUSPECT that something is broken, so I don't waste my time trying to fix it. Call the carrier and ask for a new one, I have warranty and I use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Sorry I failed to even respond to you and just commented. You have a micro sd card? Load up any i9100 ROM on it. Goto CWM and flash to brick. Head over to the closest rogers PLUS store and go WTF!!!!!

They will ask you, what did you do? Nothing. I was sleeping and when I woke up. It was dead. I don't know what happened.

Your replacement phone will arrive via courier within a week. The only cost endured in this ordeal will be the extra battery that you have to buy or the external charger that you have to buy. Or you can even goto someone else that has a I727R and do it right there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] protonova:
Thanks for all the comments. Wanted to update.

I got recommended to a cell repair shop; called them and ordered the part - they replaced it in front of me. He wasn't the most cautious with the phone, but lets chalk that up to familiarity with dissembly (lol).

kr3w1337, that was my last resort option. I couldn't survive a week without my phone! Hopefully this replacement won't come to bite me later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I'd still brick it and ask for a new phone at this point since the one you have has been violated :P ...

Hi guys I need help or info about this Ive always wanted Motorola Xoom wifi only but I received Verizon one with 3g not upgraded to lte . I rooted it and installed ics for the wifi only system from Google or android website its stock ..

And works actually very well no 3g ..nothing about service I don't mind since I'm not with Verizon and not planning to go with them I just need wifi but my question is ...is it right I mean everything works good only the battery It seems like honeycomb stock verizon build battery stays longer is it because of wifi only ice version ..or something I'm not sure if somebody can help me with info
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auggy:
Hmmm ... me too. I have a Xoom tablet arriving this week, and it was listed as "MZ600 Xoom, LTE ready, Verizon". Which rom version should I install? I do not plan to activate it with Verizon, as I already have a dinc running CM7 nightly build 258, and waiting for ics. I would just like to run ics on the Xoom. If I don't activate the Xoom, which rom should I use, or CAN I use??
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
If both of you are not planning to activate with Verizon, using a Wifi only ICS ROM won't be a bad idea. I too have installed this to a friend of mine and he hasn't experienced any issues. You will not be missing out of any features because the only main difference is the 3g / LTE radio.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesterr:
So anyone has seen the stock ICS for the xoom 3G version?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedgepigdaniel:
Do the following:

Root your phone (plenty of guides around)

Install Orbot from market. In orbot settings, enable transparent proxying, set the exit nodes field to "{us}" without quotes, and tick the strict exit nodes box.

install market enabler from market and fake one of the US settings.

Market should now act as though it was in the US. using orbot will make your internet slower but you il appear to be in the US. Disable orbot when you are finished so your internet is fast again.

Hi, sorry to post here but i think its kinda relevant.

I have market enabler and i set to USA. I am able to get USA based apps but there are some which is not able to show up for example, VEVO and Pandora Internet Radio. Any idea why is this happening and how to resolve this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekoworkshop:
The same thing happened to me too. My solution is

1. Put Pandora® internet radio(for example) into google search and you'll get a result like "Pandora® internet radio - Apps on Android Market"(usually the second result ).Open it with your computer's browser.

2.use a chrome plugin(or a firefox plugin or some webservice or something ) to generate a QRcode for the URL above.

3.open market enabler and fake your region to USA.

4.open Barcode scanner (or something like that), scan that QRcode into your phone .When it ask you "Complete action using ?",choose "market".

5.download it;)

it worked for me when i tryed to download google maps from USA market (CHN market even don't have google maps ,can you believe that?:( ) Hope that can help you:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vickyrao:
OMG! Thank you so much!! This worked perfectly. Now i have Pandora App already. Thank you!! :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rogue100:
Hey guys,

I just got my replacement prime today. Got it updated and rooted successfully, and everything seemed alright. But when I installed Titanium Backup and my Pro Key for it, I get the following notification "titanium backup failed key check with google", and the app only runs as the free version. I know the key is good, as I've been using it on my phone for months with the same account as what's set up on my prime, so that shouldn't be an issue. I don't really know what might be causing this though.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue, either specifically with the Prime, or in general, and what might be causing it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whouston.jr:
Make sure you're connected with wifi. Some paid apps do a market check to make sure you have a legit license.

Happening on an install from the market itself, so yes, connected with wifi.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ralpho711:
no thanks to the cryptic d-bags that posted before, but I finally figured it out. I had to change my Android time zone to Pacific Standard and restart Titanium Backup. I assume this is because Google is located in that time zone and Titanium Backup is looking for that to confirm the pro key purchase. Changed back to my normal time zone and its still working as pro.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joel.bourquard:
Try upgrading to Pro key v1.3.0 :)

Hi,

Try to upgrade to v1.3.0 of the Pro key - it resolves a long-standing problem with apps (such as lucky patcher) corrupting the license data coming from Google servers. The new v1.3.0 should be immune to that now.

Btw: you can use any timezone you like - as long as your date/time is set, you won't need to worry about it!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thantos:
Hi all,

Not sure what I might have done to mess this up but for some reason my HD dock can't detect the proper resolution for my monitor (I have the monitor connected via a DVI to HDMI adapter). It used to work but for some reason has stopped functioning. Now the usual Motorola screen saver (red circle popping around) is distorted and only shows up on 3/4 of the screen. If I try to activate webtop, it goes through the usual loading but the monitor goes black and webtop appears to have loaded (Usual webtop splash screen on the phone appears) but I can't see anything on the screen.

The odd thing is if I take the dock and plug it directly into my TV (no adapter) everything runs fine. So it leads me to think its an issue about the auto detect...

Is there any way to reset this or manually change the resolution to fix this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dougie0:
Hello,

The phone vibrates every time it receives a USSD notification like this:

Usage made: 0.04MB. You have:

652.44 MB left in your account.

Valid upto Feb 25 2012

I have unchecked the vibration setting for calls and notifications in Settings -> Sound as well as the Text Input setting in Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> Touch Input. But it is still vibrating for these USSD notifications.

The major problem is that it keeps happening even when the phone is in the pocket about ten times an hour. It is very irritating.

Is there a solution to my problem? Apart from switching off data services completely and losing out on instant email notification. Post-paid connection is not an option because data services in post paid is very expensive.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I have an XT912 2.3.6/.173, I do have a flashed ROM and I've noticed during the boot animation (the red eye) the dark space around the edges appears to be mostly gray with a few select BLACK spots.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheatthepocket:
Sorry i looked for a similar thread for this and i couldn't find one for the razr.

Basically i rooted by phone for the first time ever and the next day i noticed i had an OTA update. So now I have system version : 6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US . I did find out that i made a mistake in accepting this update and now I cant access root.

Is there a fix for this? what do i have to do? I need wifi tether by this sunday cuz im leaving town and staying on an army base so i dont know what kind of internet access i will have.

Again im sorry but i did look to see if this issue was brought up. Im a forum mod myself and i know how double threads are annoying. So just direct me to the correct thread if it exists.

Tbh, i saw that thread but wasnt sure it was the correct fix. Thank you for your input kind sir. I will tell you if it worked for me when i get enough balls to actually try this.

So this is how the time line should work correct?

1. Rooted my droid Razr

2. Downloaded and Installed update XT912

3. Update caused Razr to break root

4. Download and install Motofail

5. Profit?

I should be back to having root access correct?

yep there we go! thanks it looks like i have root access again. The only prob is b4 this happened my phone booted directly into clockworkmod recovery. it doesnt do that now. anyone know how i can get my phone to do this again?

[Acer Iconia A500] acera500:
Most of the guys here at XDA are familiar with the hardware components inside Iconia tablets as well as very fond of all hardware weaknesses and strengths of that particular device.

As no surprise its battery capacity is …I would say, insufficient for that kind of a portable device especially given what brilliant job the engineers from apple had been done to Ipads.

Anyway, let’s move on the subject of this post.

The original battery has the specs as follows: 7.4V ,3260mAh .

My experience was quite straight forward – 3.5 hours video playback (display 60% dimmed down) ,4.5 hours wifi browsing/downloading , after 8 hours in stand by ( Wifi ,GPS turned off) battery drained about 25 percent .

That’s very close to a regular notebook and is not exactly what I expected from a 3G / Wifi tablet.

The good news is that not only Acer’s devices are paired with short lasting batteries, so no one should regret choosing Iconia tab, and even better news is about to come soon if we can craft our own supporting battery and make this gadget work overnight .

The battery charger is providing current of 12V 1.5A (1500mAh) and 12V is happen to be one of the most popular voltage used in cars and therefore wide range of cars accessories as well as security cameras and so forth. A brief eBay search led me to a Chinese made super duper battery for security cameras which may be my happy ticket. 12V 9800mAh sounds like a spoon of honey to me. Of course the battery pack looks horrible (OEM cells, blue PVC insulating tape) but it cost less than you might think.

If paired with fancy spiral cable and appropriate DC jack this 350g battery may fit comfortably in your leather belt pouch and feed your lovely monster tab for about 6 + hours

The real power consumption of the tab is about 3260mah / ~3.5h = 800-1000 mA

After simple math we may see that battery with 9800mAh may charge the tab for about 6.5 hours

So my way of thinking is with fully charged internal and external batteries we have about 3.5 hours internal capacity then charge for about 1.5 hours (totally 5 hours ) then another 3.5 hours on internal battery then charge 1.5 hours and so forth until the supporting battery pack is almost drained. If the math in the following chart is correct we may recharge the internal battery up to 4 times without being chained to the wall socket

So my hope posting this thread is that someone might like to join me in this experiment and share the results. I’m not an electrician and perhaps I may be wrong about my expecting results but if so, I’d like to be advised by someone who knows more than me and would like to put his/her contribution to get this mission complete
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Uh. You didn't post a single question, what do you expect? Someone to confirm that yes, the external battery can be used to charge the tablet once you make a proper cable for it?

Yes, it can be used for that. And yes, it'll provide several hours of extra mileage.
[Acer Iconia A500] Somairotevoli:
It's the general section, no question required. Its a discussion, get over yourself.

Edit, I see it weighs 300 grams, pretty light. Do you have a link?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I think it's a pretty sound idea. My question would be, how do you charge the external battery pack?

Most devices have an internal voltage regulator, that shuts the connection when a battery is sufficiently charged to prevent over-charging. Without this little device, you could overcharge your extra battery and possibly explode it.

Charging units (comes with the tab) only convert from AC to DC, not regulate the cut-off supply, at least as far as I know. So you would have to devise a method to supply the correct amperage and voltage, and, shut off when charged.
[Acer Iconia A500] heldc:
I got one of these external battery packs. I keep it in my backpack, and it'll recharge my tablet and phone several times over.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Question, what do you use to re-charge the external battery pack?
