[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
If you just want to disable the connections rather than finding a way to boost the signal, try using Tasker. You can set it up so that when you reach your workplace, it will do what you want (disable data, enable airplane mode, etc). You can have the phone check for data periodically. As for voice calls, you can probably even set it to forward calls to your work phone.

As soon as you leave, the app will restore most of your settings (you probably would need to teach it how to stop forwarding calls).

I think you should flash it with the stock rom (first step) which has rooted kernel (second step). use odin. don't use ICS rom.

dude thanks a lot!!!!

you really helped me... you are the king..

but may i just ask..what does the superuser do?

does it gives me some special things?..coz i have now on my phone CMW and superuser but when i log in to the superuser it gives me only apps --> CMW..

and thats all... does it right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anfearg:
CWM is the recovery on your phone, used for flashing ROMs, clearing cache and various other advanced features.

Superuser is used to allow or deny a given app ROOT access, and also to keep a log of when those privelages have been granted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Yeah mate all explained.One of the things that you need to know about the CWM app is that it has the function to make a nandroid backup.This is a backup of your complete firmware as it is now on your phone,contacts,kernel,apps,everything.What this does is makes a backup for you to use if something ever went wrong while doing a flash then all you need to do is enter into revcovery mode and restore the backup and your will be exactly as it is right now.I suggest you do one to have a backup handy.Never know when you might need one.You can delete and create new ones as you go.

1.Open CWM app (give it permissions of course)

2.Select "Backup"

3..Select "Accept"

4..Select,if asked, "int.SD" (this is your internalSD.Sometimes externalSD backups dont register when you need them:eek:)

Now it will do a backup and you can reopen the CWM app and see it by selecting Delete or Restore.As you go collecting more apps and so on you can delete and create new ones.If for some reason your phone blows out you can restore the latest backup made by entering in CWM app or if you have done something really bad then by holding Volume up+Home+Power to enter into recovery mode.A good app to download now is Titanium backup.It also backs up all apps and data so if you ever flash a ROM you can pass the apps+data to the new ROM.

Before installing Titanium install busybox.Dont forget to give these apps root permission.Install from market,open and install only busybox.The Apps no.

Titanium is good because you can uninstall system app from your carrier that you dont want that annoy you

Since the last Honeycomb update I was getting awful battery life. Standby would literal drain the battery in a day. Upgraded to ICS when it came out and since I was getting alto of random reboot etc I did a factory reset. Yesterday I reinstalled gta. Played a bit and hit home when I was done. This was after a full charge..last night. Battery was over 90% still. Went to use the tablet today and it was dead... Surely this cannot be normal?

From the ASUS website:

Battery	9.5 hours; 24.4Wh Li-Polymer Battery *5

16 hours with dock *5

*5 : The estimated maximum battery life is measured by playing 720p video, LCD brightness 60 nits.

1.5/9.5 = 13.68% 100-13.68 = 86.32%.

Based on your listed usage that sounds pretty reasonable to me.

3) Copy the nightly file (update-encore-20120220.zip) to SD card

4) unmount the uSD card and insert it into the nook.

5) press power button (or N button), boots to Nook-OS

I'm not totally sure about the way you are going about it. I did that method once about 9 months ago, and just can't remember the details. However, I would recommend trying racks triple boot sd card method. It burns CM7 and CM9 (ICS) onto the SD card, and leaves EMMC alone. It was pretty simple, and you'll have the ability to choose which to boot into. The CM7 is super stable, and will work as your daily driver. The CM9 has a few things that still need to be worked out, but I've actually been using it more than the CM7. Here's the link to that method;

it sure looks like you have been skipping the same step from your two posts. If you're asking, yeah, go ahead and format the disk before burning the image. You will lose whatever is on the disk, that is what the error is saying.

It is a warning and is double checking before it continues. Not really an error, per se.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andog:
Thanks crapid, I will try that next.

Thanks bobtidey, I have ordered a Transcend TS-RDP5K USB 2.0 Card Reader and see if that helps next time. But I think Win32DiskImager did the trick. I loaded Win32DiskImager and it wrote to the microSD card. I booted the Nook and it loaded (second time) and installed ICS!

BTW: I think noobs need a Sticky Thread on How To Boot the Nook Color.

And apparently there are restrictions on noobs posting into their own threads. Which is why my last post was incomplete, sorry.

Thanks for all the help.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Good to hear your progressing. The advice about using a real USB card reader is because some SD card media slots built into computers seem to have issues creating bootable cards. Some work, some don't. Also applies to writing the SD image via a phone/tablet connected by USB to the computer. Some models will work, others cause problems. Of all the methods vanilla USB readers seem to be problem free in this area.

This is from the Cyanogenmod wikipedia Page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod

CyanogenMod is a replacement firmware of over 60 smart phones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices. Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support (also called the "T-Mobile Theme Engine"), Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) support, a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, a reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking and performance enhancements, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS), app permissions management, as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod is also stated to increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases. [2]

CyanogenMod is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code. Although only a subset of total CyanogenMod users elect to report their use of the firmware, [3] as of 26 January 2012, CyanogenMod has recorded over 1.1 million active[4][5]

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Just wondering because I've seen a few posts already about screen burn-in, but I've had my Nexus since launch and have no problems at all. Is it because the people that are having the issue are using the GSM version and have had it longer? Is it because those people have their screens on all day?

I'm just trying to get a baseline to understand where the problem might be coming from. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in highschool so I have no need to keep the phone screen on 4+ hours a day (I average somewhere around 1:30 a day, but most of that is reading and answering texts/emails)...but just curious.

For anyone with burn-in problems just post which version you have (and when you got it, if you could) and the average screen on-time per day that you have. Maybe this could lead to a "best practice" document to keep it from happening to others!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] charlescom:
I am afraid that this might be a redundant post you just made.

There is no physical difference between GSM and CDMA variation's SAMOLED screens. There should be more difference between which factory and/or country it was made than between GSM and CDMA.

I know you have already, but please refer to the posts made on:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1509123&page=2

And I'll re-post the post I made over there on here as well for your information.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will probably happen to all of us to some degree sooner or later.

The image retention that lasts 1-3 seconds we might see within a month or two usage is actually one of the characteristics of AMOLED "Ghosting effect"

which is not the same as AMOLED "reverse led fatigue" (or although technically incorrect but more widely understood term "Burn-ins") which maybe seen as permanent image retention shown as yellowish outlines of icons / keyboard outlines, etc.

Sadly, there's really nothing you can do about this problem after the fact, except to change the screen itself if it is really bothersome. Or you may try to change/delete/make transparent of the permanently placed icons/other objects/pictures to try to reverse these effects.

The only preventive measures would be changing screen rotation from vertical to horizontal, and make sure you don't have the screen on at a stay still image (preferably set auto screen off to 30seconds or so.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I'm sorry, you misunderstood my point of the post. I realize the hardware is identical (as far as the screen is concerned), I'm more interested in kind of how much screen on-time has a strong chance of creating permanent burn-in. I have a max of around 1:30 of screen on-time per day and I haven't seen a hint of burn-in...so I'm wondering if there's some magic number of on-time that will cause the problem to a much higher degree.

What I'm really hoping for is that, for instance, if we find people with 2:30 of screen on-time seem to really have the issue but people with 2 hours or less don't...then it might be a helpful practice to kind of keep screen time to a minimum above that. I realize it's not really helpful for most people (because nobody wants to curve their usage), but it's a limitation of the hardware.

Or maybe if a majority of the people with the problem seem to keep on the screen for 15-20 minutes at a time...that would help, as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Its going to happen. All amoled screens get it. The 2 verizom demo units at the store here have it really bad cause the screen is on all day. If you use transparent top and bottom bar, full screen in browser, and rotate your screen periodically, you can avoid the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph00ny:

[HTC Sensation] samudabamu:
Hi all,

I've had my HTC sensation for about 9 months. I've flashed the phone twice with HD revolution roms. The last flash was conducted about a month ago and is currently running version 3.6.1. Around 2 days ago the phones screen, short cut keys below the screen, power button and volume stopped responding. Upon rebooting the phone the screen and all buttons will respond perfectly normal however. It is only when you turn the screen off or it goes into sleep state automatically after the reboot the screen, shortcut keys, power and volume buttons stop responding again when powered back on. After this the phone needs to have the battery taken out and rebooted before anything can be used again. In this state the phone is completely useless, only being able to be used once the phone has been rebooted and the screen must be prevented from going into a sleep state.

The last form of any sort of software update I can remember before the problem began occuring was updating facebook :confused:

I have not tried super wiping and reflashing a new rom yet.

If anyone could suggest something it's highly appreciated.

Regards,

Samuel
[HTC Sensation] samudabamu:
I've had the phone quoted by a repairer saying the touch screen needs to be replaced but I don't see how this can be so.

It works perfectly fine on initial boot. It also doesn't explain why all the other buttons cease to work.
[HTC Sensation] col888:
Hi Samuel,

by the sound of it I'd say your touchscreen is working fine, I think its more likely that your Android OS has got screwed up a bit at some point. If it was mine I'd do a nandroid backup of your currunt OS, and then superwipe and reflash a fresh installation of ARHD on it. If that doesnt work you can always go back to the nandroid backup you make.

Probably be worth waiting to see what some other XDA members think though.

Good luck with it.
