[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GroovyMotion:
Greetings,

first of all my GS2 is running stock 2.3.3, locked/unrooted!

I noticed that there was no "software Update" option in Settings > About Phone..in fact I couldn't find it anywhere!

I then did a factory reset of the phone...still no go. Removed the battery/SIM, rebooted, still nothing.

Will I *still* be able to update via KIES Desktop once the ICS update is available?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You are running a very very old firmware .

Kies is the method that will upgrade .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmahendra:
unrooting

Sorry to reply late but this is same problem I faced. The reason was I unrooted the rooted phone and the unrooter could not recover it completely. What I did is mentioned in following sequence.

1) In January 2012, I rooted the my LG Optimus 2x phone. Installed CWM (ClockWorkMod) and took backup of original ROM and kept safe aside. The rooting was done with SuperOneClick.

2) After that at least 50 times changed various roms like Customized Stock, CM, MIUI, etc.

3) Just last month August 2012, I just wanted to update to new new official stock (V20i) in India so I restored the ORIGINAL ROM from backup in CWM and then unrooted with "R1: Stock Recovery Image - By Paul O'Brien" which was super smooth without any unrooting issue. But now the SOFTWARE UPDATE option is missing. I still dont have solution on this problem may be some expert may suggest the solution.

The most possible reason I can guess here is the UNROOTING methods are not fully recovering the mod signatures.

Whoever are having this problem is possible that they might have purchased the used phone from a person who might have ROOTED it and simply UNROOTED it before selling to next owner. I am not expert and I may be wrong but this is just what I think is possible according to my own experience. :D
[HTC Sensation] DSTARK71:
What is the Best Radio to use for Sensation 4g Running CM7? My 4g is kind of off... I sometimes get really good speeds and sometimes it'll act like a dial up connection! Any help would be much appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] Mad Tiger:
they recommend to use the version 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01. check here to download it.

dunno if CM7 has the 4g icon in it.

check you radio version to see which one you have. do you have any other issue, with the wifi for example?
[HTC Sensation] DSTARK71:
Wifi works fine. im running 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M It has the H Icon which is 4G but it is going in and out from H to 3G to G to E. Depending on where I am at.
[HTC Sensation] Mad Tiger:
I guess it's just your network that is not fully 4g covered. I have the same thing here in my country. When I received my sensation, I had the 4g icon wherever I was, but when I flashed my first custom rom, and radio, I guess the thing became more sensitive and shown 3g and H icons.

hello there

i am a bit worried about an upgrade to ics from gingerbread...

anybody please tell me if i do a full wipe after a CWM backup will it install all my apps or i have to install them seperately one by one....

my current rom is litening rom 6.1

and i am willing to upgrade to ressurection remix ics rom.......

any suggestions plz i should do this or should i wait for any other ics rom....

thanxx.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Um. What? If you do a full wipe, what magic process do you expect to install your apps for you?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim_mahmood007`:
then what's the point in backing up the data
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
You can back up all you apps with TB, flash new rom, restore you apps with TB. Good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Not sure you understand... if you do a CWM backup, that is basically taking a snapshot of your entire phone image. Firmware, apps and their data, contacts, the whole kit and kaboodle. From there, you can restore the backup if you bork your phone provided you can still get to CWM recovery.

Your Google account will track what apps you have installed officially through the Play Store (formerly known as the Android Market), and it

might

even re-install some or all of them for you (depending on the version of market/play store you have after your full wipe), but it

won't

retain your app data. So if you do this, you'll lose all your Angry Birds high scores, in other words. That may or may not be a big deal to you.

As 078gregory said, you can use TB (Titanium Backup) to back up and restore app data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warrez:
just want to add.. CWM backup does not backup kernel or modem... it does backup the gps patch and other patches tho...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes. It does backup kernel. I restored my GM/Siyah CWM backup on Sunday after trying CM9 for a few days and my kernel was most definitely restored. You are correct about the modem tho.

Is there a reliable kickstand/portrait style case for the T-989?

If you have one please give a slight review/opinion on it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
Body glove from tmo store best one worth it not too big looks good n works n holds up to abuse great. Not a whole lot of protection tho but for me it works just fine. Excuse my lack of proper punctuation and spelling but you get the idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RivenSky:
I second the body glove one from the tmo store. I got mine in Dec and I'm surprised the kickstand hasn't broken yet. I love the it folds flat. My only complaint is that the color rubs off after a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] patrick216:
Try this case. http://www.ebay.com/itm/320846092482?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Great protection and the kickstand works great. Good price comes in a few other colors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
I just ordered this one off ebay. I'll give my review after I get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
Same here. i keep going back to my black body glove, even though it provides hardly any protection for my phone.

I had one for my Vibrant a year ago, which i dropped on carpet, the case popped off and SOMEHOW scratched the screen of my phone.

But, i sure like how it feels on the phone though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CBlakey292:
Thanks dude

I definitely would appreciate a review. It doesn't look like it does Portrait view though...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
My apologies.

I did get the case today. It's a little thicker than I was expecting but it's probably the same thickness as most dual protection cases. The inner layer is rubber and the outer layer is plastic. Its a little whiter than my phone is. The buttons are really easy to press. It's white so I'm expecting it to get dirty lol. There are different color combinations from the same seller on ebay. So if you have black or white there are some options for you. I'm loving the quality of the case. The fitment is great compared to another case I had.

I am no way associated with the seller.

I have attached some pictures. I got some ink stains on it already. I guess my hands were dirty.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
I have this case and it is bulky but that's to be be expected. The kickstand already has signs of cracking. I bought this case cuz at work, I keep my phone in my work shirt pocket and every time i go to lean down (with my old slick case) the phone fell out. This case stopped that but now is a PITA to pull outta my pocket sometimes. And if i happen to have any additional items in my pocket, the case pulls that out too when removed. It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' kinda situation. It does get the job done and I at least feel comfortable if my phone took a leap outta my pocket or off the fridge... :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CBlakey292:
Does it support in Portrait?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
Sorry it doesn't. My bad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jhutchy:
Seidio Active case...

Hey just wanted to give my input...

I have the Seidio Active case and the kickstand does NOT work in portrait mode, only landscape. BUT it does offer 2 angles in landscape. Aside from that I gotta say this is the 2nd Seidio Active case I've had, the other was for my HTC Sensation 4G, and this is the best case I've ever used for any phone. I'll be buying another one for whatever my next phone after the SGS2 ends up being.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CBlakey292:
It's all good.

I'm leaning hard on the Seidio case. I'm surprised it's not Portrait supported though, cause it kind of looked like it could be in a pic I saw using the belt clip I believe?

What's the difference in the 2 angles you mentioned?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jhutchy:
Hmmm... I don't know anything about the belt clip you mentioned. But the 2 landscape angles i mentioned turned out to be 3 after i played with it some more, you just have to flip the phone 180 to get the third angle. The lowest is around 20 degrees, then there's slightly more than 45 degrees maybe 50, and finally it stands almost completely upright, I'd guess around 85 degrees.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] The-Last-Hylian:
Hi all,

I've just seen a HTC Flyer for sale online (forgive me for not revealing my sources).

It's a fairly reputable auction site and 'apparently' it's 3 months new, 16GB Wi-Fi version with case, box, headphones, pen and a free 32GB MicroSD Card... looks ok in the pictures for cosmetic damage.

Seller wants £100 for it... What do you all think? Is it worth it? I know they still RRP for around £300+, so it could be a bargain!

Unsure.

cheers,

T-L-H
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kudosmog:
Lessee....that's about 150 USD, so yeah...thats a good deal.

I dunno what "3 months new" means but you'd be hard pressed to find a flyer that cheap over here even used. Best price I've seen is 180 USD refurbished.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] The-Last-Hylian:
Hi all,

I'll take a look at what you're offering but I don't think it'll compare to £100!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thetruth1983:
If anyone has a 3g version for sale, send me a pm so we can work something out (I'm in Texas).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] olyloh6696:
Thats a fantastic deal. Maybe too good to be true. Is the seller reputable?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
If its an auction, then 100 pounds is just the starting price or the current bid? Or a "buy it now" price?

If its just the starting price or current price, keep in mind that the huge majority of auction bidding happens in the last couple hours leading up to the auction end, even the last couple MINUTES.

With any online auction, make sure the seller (not just the website) has a good reputation. I typically will not even consider buying from somebody that has less then something like a 98% rating. A marginal or poor rating means, at a minimum, that the seller is not good at communicating (responding to inquiries or issues), and /or slow at shipping (none of which you want). Worst case, a bad rating means that they are a scam artist.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm not sure why people keep mentioning auctions or buy it now prices.

All I said was that the seller wants £100 for it, and that's the flat price.

I think it's an ok deal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
You said in your OP that it was on an auction website. So unless you explicitly note otherwise we might assume its . . . (wait for it) . . . AN AUCTION!!!!! Imagine that!!!

Also, I'm the only one that mentioned auctions or buy it now price, so I don't know why you're on about "why people keep mentioning . . .".

You haven't given many details, so its hard for anyone to say whether its a good deal or not. Is it available straight from this "fairly reputable auction site", or is it the type of site where individuals post things for sale (like eBay). If its an individual seller, do they have a good rating?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] supaboom:

Hello,

My phone -xperia x8 white e15i

Kernel - Stock

It don't matter what Rom I use I can only OC till 691 MHz at 710mhz my.phone freeze and reboot.

also I get reboot time to time on 691.

I heard that very x8 should atleast be stable at 710

my question is.

Do I get a higher stable frequency if I use a different module other than Dix's???

I came across a module which offers a higher frequency .... search for better overclock you will find the thread.....so will I get a higher frequency? ?? using the other module???

I USED THE SEARCH BUTTON BEFORE POSTING.

so don't yell at me. : )
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabr17:
Help :)

I'm not too sure about this one since I'm a part noob much like you ;) but have you tried flashing a different kernel such as Alfs? linuxxd is really good but doesn't allow overclocking as I found out with the same problem as yourself ;) Sorry I meant stock kernel doesn't allow overclocking ...

If I helped you please answer my question on a new thread I made :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
It's up to your phone. Your processor can go till that frequency without freezing. Other X8s can go higher. It doesn't depend on the ROM or kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
A custom kernel allows better overclocking most of the time. When I was on stock kernal the highest I could get to was 710Mhz before rebooting. With a custom kernel I can get to 787Mhz before rebooting.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuT_TeR:
@guys above thanks for answering ...

but I still don't get the answer ....

anyways if I change my kernel then I will be changing the software part only .... so how can it increase my CPU potential .. ?????
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaslc7:
dependent on yes. with stock kernel to kernel naa 691 Mhz 806 big diference
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuT_TeR:
what about.a different module??? it can increase potential? ??
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
You need to understand that the stock kernel is not designed for overclocking, it's only possible with modules for stock kernel.

You can try the other module but I doubt it'll be any improvement, if you want better overclocking you really should install a custom kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I have long been a fan of the wet application screen protectors (Im sure theres a more official name for them). I like the grippier feel, nearly impossible to jack up installation, and ability to remove and re-apply if it's not straight or starts to peel up. I have used them for years now and loathe the thought of dry stick ons. But it seems if you use your stylus alot then you will want to avoid these as it causes the protector to bunch up and cause what seems like dots all over the main part of the screen. I discovered this because of that damn addicting game called Drawl Something that has me using my stylus so often. The good side is you can just peel, wet, re-apply. But this gets old. I have a replacement on its way just to eliminate any chance of this being a fluke. I plan on following the rules to the letter this time and apply it and apply minimal use and touch for a full 24-48 hours to see if this makes a difference.

Has anyone else encountered this on the Note or other stylus device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
Yes I have also ran into this issue while it's slightly annoying I also just fix it. I also noticed it only happens when you push fairly hard though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I've got the wet-application Zagg on mine, and I left it alone for 2 days afterward. I haven't had any problems, although I haven't needed to press very hard with the S-Pen either. I don't really like the "stickiness" of the Zagg, though. I'm afraid of what it's going to do to the pen nub in the long run.

It does leave little tracks/trails in the screen protector, but I can't see them when the display is on and they seem to slowly fade over time.

I don't like how it slightly takes away some of the screen clarity, but you just can't beat free lifetime replacements at Best Buy.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
i was just wondering why is there no work on a501?:confused:

there is only one person that dose work for the a501, thats moscow. he dose great work;), but i find it hard to believe that no one else has one to work on.

yes i know i can flash a500 roms but i lose some features.

i know that we dont have whats needed for ics on the a501 but there arent any hc roms other than alaxandrea. witch is great im not complaining, but cmon we need some more devs/chefs for this device!!:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] ghost1157:
I think its the same reason there aren't many 3g integrated tablets out there, according to everything I have read, wifi tablets outsell 3g tablets 5 to 1, probably because nobody wants to sign up for yet another contract. So there are considerably less A501 users and therefore considerably less developers.

I have a crippled A501 from ATT and I am running Alexandra III which as a rom I am quite happy with, it actually is the best rom I have ever ran (I have run many on my Nexus One and never found one as stable as Moscow's).

My big issue with my A501 is the lack of bluetooth capabilities, I want to make bluetooth calls with Skype, and better yet have a dialer so I could use my phone sim card to make calls from my A501 over 2g or GSM. I also want bluetooth SPP capabilities so I can control devices...

To that end I downloaded the source and setup an ubuntu environment to compile the kernel source but so far am getting lots of errors and can't figure out which toolchain to use for cross compiling.

At this point I am ready to start a bounty thread....
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
i guess thats tru.

but even if they are out sold 5-1 there are still thousadns apon thousands of a501's out there and we have only have one guy doing work.....

i love moscows rom too, probably wouldnt switch if there were more. but thats kinda the point the more people working on something, the better the chance better and cool stuff could be made to happen. poor moscow, all alone in this forum:( lol.

cmon acer and realease us some ics so moscow can hook us up!!:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
Here in Oz you can bu the A501 without any plan... You can put any simcard in and know you have the carrier working. We don't have CDMA anymore...

I don't know why other countries don't do this too, it certainly generates sales for Acer if the tabs are sold wild to be used on any carrier....
[Acer Iconia A500] Jesustheheretic:
The a501 is actually pretty cheap without contract at an AT&T store. Ultimately most a500 rooms will work fine on the a501 as the only difference is the wireless card. Even with that aspect taken into account all that would need made to include full functionality for the a501 on every a500 ROM is a flashable zip with updated build.prop values and the 3g driver. The kernel base should be nearly identical but would need some slight modification for multiband support. As long as the kernel wasn't compiled before the initial ROM flash any modifications would fall under the original GPL for the a500 kernel.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] benjymous:
I'm not sure what's causing this, but I sometimes hook my Xperia Ray up to the line in of my car, and have noticed that when audio is stopped/muted, I get unpleasant clicking and whistling sounds (It's crystal clear when sound is actually playing)

It's almost as if something is shorting out the audio connection when it's not playing (there's a noticably loud click just before it starts playing again when I unpause) - is this just something the xperia does, or is there a fault somewhere, and if it's the former, is there anything I can mod in the software that'll fix it?

(It's not specific to my car, either - I've currently got my phone hooked up to the line in on my PC, and whilst the interference sound is different, it's still there)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bandario:
This happens with loads of electronic gear.

It is particularly bad with smartphones but sony seems to be the loudest of all...i figure it is some sort of power saving turning the audio off, it is even noticeable with headphones on.
