[Galaxy S II General] :
The built-in VPN client serves the correct connection method (IPSEC Xauth PSK), but it's not possible to connect to an AVM Fritz!Box DSL router through VPN with the built-in VPN SW.

PDA: LP3 (intratech's Frankenstein O2 UK)

Solution: using VPNC Widget from Play Store as before under GB 2.3.X

I have both these bugs on LP2 as well.

The second bug seems intermittent, but i got it a couple of times when an SMS tone interrupted the music. Once it hits, the music player continues to cause disturbance in all the songs (while other music apps do fine) and it only gets fixed by a phone restart.
[Galaxy S II General] slimspook:
Present in XWLP4 as well. I'm surprised nobody else is annoyed by this.

lp7. UK. Unbranded. Never rooted or flashed.

Problem: swype. Unresponsive and slow.

Problem: stock browser freezing and crashing, Google chrome working fine. Same with email.

Problem : scrolling seems slow and delayed.

Problem: sometimes when pressing home button when in app causes the app to crash or takes ages to hospital back to homescreen.

I have the same problem on LPC, but only with Inbox subfolders. All other folders have a + sign on the icon if they have subfolders. Clicking on that sign shows all subfolders.
[Galaxy S II General] slimspook:
Found out that the music disturbance is caused by the equaliser. No wonder other apps don't have the problem. They don't have an equaliser.

Also, I'm curious, other than handcent and go sms fixing the double SMS issue, have any other bugs been addressed?

Just upgraded to lp7 from lpq through kies. Since this update I no longer receive any notifications when the screen is locked. Any ideas?

[Galaxy S II General] adeyb:
I've just updated my wife's S2 to ICS (using kies with UK T-Mobile - apologies for not knowing the version) and there is an issue with non-stock messagers.

Handcent will not send out messages and Go SMS will only sends out blank message.

I've been on the web and it looks like a screw up at T-Mobiles end... :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] v28:
Think I saw something about that, some versions of ics have problems with third party messaging apps. Just use stock is the answer I think:(

LP9 problems

I have XWLP9 with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 since few days... everything great! but 1 major problem and 2 other important:

1 - Keypad (call's) stop responding after 2nd digit (already worked with this version :S)

- Exchange 2003 account got many times "connection error"... I resolve sync (push) by disable function SYNC... and i receive all mail correctly! (strange)

- Battery it's GREAT, standby, call, video,etc... but when use wifi drain more quicky

If any one know how resolve... or fix... ;-)

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
Isn't it obvious with wifi or any data connection battery would drain more quicky? Your device is "downloading" things during the time so it's obvious battery would drain more quickly. Unless you mean you've turned off all sorts of syncing and with the screen turned off, the battery still drains quickly.

$1 gets you a reply
[Galaxy S II General] pitum:
Yes, it's like that, SYNC off wifi-on and screen-off, baterry still drain like you navigate web... :S

But every other situations battery Very good :)

Sugestions for keypad!?! (Already worked this version)

Static IP bug

I recently found a problem that I believe it is an ICS bug.

I was trying to change the settings of a WiFi network to make it use static IP instead of using a dynamic one from a DHCP server.

So I chose "Modify Network" => "Show advanced options" => "IP Settings" => Static

When you select "Static" it opens some fields to input the IP address, gateway and DNS servers. I was changing a DNS server and hit "Save" by mistake. After that the phone rebooted. And when I tried to turn the WiFi on it rebooted again and again.

So I realized that the problem was with the misconfiguration. I had to move away from the WiFi router range, turn on wifi, fix the configuration and then it worked.
[Galaxy S II General] mirbeksm:
I am using SGSII with XWLP7 for testing Android application. Phone has been rooted, original stock kernel is restored according to Intratech's instructions.

I am using Windows 7 with Eclipse ADT/Android SDK for development. Everything on the PC side is OK. SGSII on the other hand, behaves strangely.

1. Often, not always, when I launch application from Eclipse (it closes previous running instance, loads new .apk, installs new .apk, runs it, all through adb), in Logcat I receive "could not start application" message. IMHO, must be problem with TWLauncher. TWLauncher freezes, sometimes restarts, seems to perform multiple attempts to launch application, after about 10 seconds it finally launches application. During these 10 seconds, TWLauncher sometimes responds to touch events, sometimes freezes.

2. Sometimes, it performs random clicks on screen. I do actually see it performing random clicks on screen (I see different applications responding to random click events, not the invisible finger :D).

Maybe I should switch to more Galaxy-Nexus-like ROM, after all, Galaxy Nexus is officially recommended by Android Open Source Project for development.

EXPLOSIANIMATION

Bootanimation
​

Behold, the first work thingie I've done for this communtiy :D

I've made a bootanimation with the help of nishant_713 (thanks for that :)) for anyone who likes it to put it as their bootanimation.

It comes in three versions:

Explosianimation Standard Edition

Preview

Standard version: One explosion then looping forever

Explosianimation Extreme Edition

Preview

Extreme version: Continious looping from the explosion, wich means: Multiple 'splosions :D

Explosionless Animation

Preview

Explosionless animation: All the goodies from the original version but without the explosion (as requested by J.Purungrit :))​

All three versions come as an update.zip, put it on your sd-card and then you can flash it in CMW recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javlada:
Hello,

I have a problem with some applications that simply disappeared. Some them did it after I moved them to SD card. I think (I'm not absolutely sure about it) that some of those "disappeared" applications were not moved to SD card.

The problem is, that if I try to install the application again, system tells me that it is already installed. If I choose to install it again (upgrade the app), the installation fails.

The problem is that I can't remove these applications because I don't see them listed in installed apps. I will have to remove the applications manually, but I don't know how to do it. I have root access, so I should be able to do it.

Can anyone help me, please?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
An application like Titanium Backup should be able to help you force-uninstall these apps.

Short of that, you can use adb to remove the applicable application packages from /data/app/ and the relevant data from /data/data/

> adb remount
> adb shell
# rm /data/app/com.example.appname.apk
# rm -r /data/data/com.example.appname/

or similar (followed by a reboot) should do it.

I've updated to ICS via Mobile Odin, I tried Polish LPQ and now I'm on 3UK which I'm very happy with and I'll use it as my daily.

I've removed all the normal bloatware via Titanium, eg Weather/News/Games apps.

Is there a list of Apps/Services that are safe to remove from SGS2 ICS and an explination of what those apps do, eg MapServicesSamsung or the 2 Software updates ?

Thank you

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I don't think you'll find too many apps in ICS that weren't in GB. Obviously the framework is different, but you only need to be especially careful with removing system apps (as Vaxxi said, there's a bit on ICS in that thread).

Frankly, I wouldn't remove anything when it's just as easy to freeze apps & have exactly the same effect as removing them, but with the safety of simply unfreezing them if you run into trouble. Obviously if you remove a system app & you run into problems you're in strife unless you have a backup.

Just my opinion FWIW tho.

Android is based on Linux(and kind of java also) so you would need Linux and java knowledge also, if you want to customize the ROM throughly.

I always knew buying a Mac was a bad idea :'(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neroyoung:
Yes thats true BUT this tutorial is for windows and it doesn't require any kind of expert knowledge.

Its damn simple to make a custom ROM :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neroyoung:
Not at all !!

You can Run windows 7 virtually on your Mac and use this tutorial ;)

Isn't it cool ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] respawned:
Simple custom ROM, yes. But it is only MY IMO. You NEED Linux knowledge, you need some android knowledge, and you need to understand what are you doing to make really OUTSTANDING ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neroyoung:
Can you explain what linux knowledge you talking about ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] respawned:
For example, in your v4, i saw remount tweak, and there was JOURNALISM removing for ext4 partition. But you noticed that it is only for /data /system? Our partitions are in yaffs2, so we don't have journal.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chris5s:
Hi I have a strange USB issue.

When I connect to my pc (win 7), the phone charging icon appears, but no red charging light. Also, after about 10 seconds, the phone stops charging.

It will charge on a mains charger no problem, and I can flash ROMs, task 29, etc - obviuosly via USB - with no problems. It just won't charge or sync with zune.

The same happens with another USB cable, and both cables charge and sync with zune on another phone running exact same ROM.

Anyone any ideas? I'm guessing its the micro usb port on the phone but its strange that I can still flash ROMs via USB but it won't charge or sync...

Peace
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chris5s:
Ok, managed to solve this.

Looked in device manager and the phone was listed as "unknown device" with a yellow exclamation mark. I opened up the properties window, clicked on 'update driver' and lo and behold it installed a USB composite device driver and it now charges and syncs just fine ....
[HTC EVO 3D] jpquach87:
I successfully performed Unknownforce's hboot downgrade and rooted using Revolutionary. I want to start trying out ROMs but a friend told me I should back some stuff up first.

My first problem is I wanted to take a screenshot of my apps menu just in case I lost them but I wasn't able to do it like I used to with the POWER + HOME buttons.

My second problem is Titanium Backup. Apparently I have to run this in root, but I thought my phone was rooted already? Do I have to run it in a rooted ROM? If so, what's the best way to backup my current ROM and configuration?

I'm so lost. Can someone post a quick and dirty guide to doing these things? It might be easier if I understand the concept and flow of what I should be doing.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
If you are rooted, you should have superuser, check your app drawer. Get titanium backup from the market and backup the apps you want or you can just do a full system backup with TWRP (team win recovery). There are many good roms out there. I'm partial to Meanrom. Head over to the EVO 3d developer thread and click on the roll up sticky thread for all the links that can guide you through this.
[HTC EVO 3D] jpquach87:
How do I tell if I'm a superuser? What exactly am I checking for in my app drawer? Sorry for the newbie questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
If you used rev then at the end of the process did you choose install the clockwork mod recovery???

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[HTC EVO 3D] Cetus Corr:
Super user is an app. It gives permission for other apps to have root privileges, such as titanium backup.
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:
If you do not have superuser in your app drawer then most likely your not rooted. Flash this zip from recovery and you'll be rooted.http://db.tt/4MQNcpdb. Revolutionary does not give you root, it just gives you s-off. I am going to assume that you flashed a recovery during the revolutionary process so I will not go into that.

I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. DISCLAIMER: If you choose to follow these direction and use the zip from above I am not at all responsible for anything that may happen to your phone or sdcard.

1. Go into menu/setting/power and make sure fastboot is unchecked. Fastboot will prevent your phone from booting into bootloader unless you do a battery pull.

2. Power phone off.

3. Boot into bootloader. Do this by holding volume down and power button until phone boots into bootloader. Make sure you hold volume down button first.

4. Once booted into bootloader select bootloader then select recovery. This will reboot phone into recovery. (Navigate bootloader and recovery by using volume buttons and make selection using power button)

5. Once in recovery select "install zip from sdcard"

6. The superuser zip will be in your download folder if you downloaded it directly from phone, select that folder then select the super user zip from the link I provided.

7. Select "yes install zip from sdcard"

8. Once the zip is flashed select "go back" then select "reboot phone".

9. Your phone will boot up like normal. Check in your app drawer for the super user app, if its there your golded. One more note, you can make a backup of your entire setup from recovery. Just select backup/restore and select backup.

ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROMS OR MODS.

After you have made your backup I would suggest that you update your firmware first then look into flashing what ever rom you choose. Go to this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443592 and look under other firmware bits and you will see xHausx latest everything. That will give you all the firmware, newest prl, radio, and other updates. It will look like this

Firmware w/o hBoot, System, Boot and Recovery partitions. (Must be S-OFF)

http://dev-host.org/svsae25h2v0n/PG86IMG-2.17.651.5_Firmware_Only.zip

MD5:25442C4C8EDDD628391FA6E3CD9924B0

Once you download it check the md5 and verify that it matches up with the one given under the zip file. IF IT DOES NOT MATCH UP DO NOT FLASH IT, COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE. Redownload it and check it again.If it matches up place it on the root of your sdcard and rename it PG86IMG.zip. make sure it is typed exactly like you see it or the bootloader wont see it. Once that is done boot back into bootloader and you might have to select bootloader. It will find the PG86IMG and ask you if you want to update it. You will have to press volume up to select yes. Once your updated make sure you either rename that zip file or place it into a folder so that the bootloader can't see and prompt to update again. You wont be able to get into recovery from bootloader if it still sees a zip file with the name of PG86IMG.
[HTC EVO 3D] ccs86:
Great info, thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] jpquach87:
I did install the clockworkmod.
[HTC EVO 3D] ccs86:
Just wish I could get temp root without a boot loop, so I could run Titanium backup before I downgrade!
[HTC EVO 3D] jpquach87:
Thanks for all your help. I successfully performed all the steps you mentioned but when I boot up and check the 'Software number' it still says I am on 1.13.651.7. Is that how it's supposed to be?

Also, can anyone help me with the screenshot function? It seems I've lost the ability to take screenshots all of a sudden.
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:
Yes you are still on the old software because of the hboot rollback. That is why it shows an older software number and also why you have lost the screenshot function. You only updated the radio and firmware at this point. You should now be able to use titanium backup to backup all you apps. If you want to save the positing of the app on your home screens use the desktop backup feature also in titanium.

Once that's done your ready to flash a rom. I suggest cleanrom to start out. Go here to find it http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=98 this will be flashed from recovery. Once your apps are backed up make sure you sync your contacts with your Google account because flashing a rom the right way WILL erase all user data. It will not effect firmware or radio though.

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Wipe data/factory reset

3. Wipe cache

4. Go into advanced menu and wipe dalvich cache.

5. Install zip from sdcard. Should also be in your download folder if you downloaded it directly from phone. Choose the cleanrom zip or what ever one you chose and your good to go.

I don't remember if clean rom has titanium backup included in the rom or not. If not once your Google account is set back up just download it again and restore all the apps that you backed up.
