Try to flash the correct firmware for your device .

Or pay for a service centre repair .

I hate to admit how much I LOVE seeing these threads where people flash the wrong firmware because they are too lazy to research what they are doing.

Send me your phone, I'll even pay shipping and handling for it. I'll revive it and put it to good use because obviously you have ZERO idea how to use it

Greetings

Today I upgraded my ATT Galaxy S2 to the ICS rom that appeared recently with Odin3 1.85.

Everything went pretty smoothly until I realized whenever I tried to make a call nothing would happen, the confusing thing is my internet kept working on Edge (since I'm T-mo on an unlocked phone). I tried to check via de *#simlock# command if it was unlocked and indeed it seems to be.

Furthermore I tried to send a text message to myself and it seems to have gone through added to the fact that the internet is there, the only problem is the calls.

I checked the IMEI and it seems to be fine, I did a factory reset and nothing happened.

During my exploration of the phone I found that it said, as the title implies, Mobile Network State: Disconnected which freaked me out.

I also tried resetting the mobile networks to default but nothing is working I'm kind of desperate (I usually avoid posting as opposed as researching) and have been searching online for near 2 hours I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
SO

many things wrong.

ATT Galaxy S2 is the SGH-I777. You are in the GT-I9100 forums. If you really do have an I777, and flashed an I9100 firmware to your I777, then this is likely the source of your problems. The I777 and I9100 have SIMILAR hardware to where a flash wouldn't kill your phone, but things wouldn't work right. Sounds like what you are describing.

You say you have an ATT Galaxy S2, but here you say you're on T-Mobile. Are you in the US? If you're on the US, how did you get an ATT Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile? ATT phones are usually SIM locked. Also, T-Mobile has their own Galaxy S2 model, which is the SGH-T989. Totally different hardware. If you DO have an ATT model, and are on T-Mobile, then you are probably getting abysmal mobile data speeds. The ATT model will only get Edge speeds on T-Mobile's network, and vice versa, the T-Mobile model will only get Edge speeds on ATT's network.

EDIT: Oh, I re-read that. I see you recognize you will only get Edge on T-Mobile's network when using this device. But that doesn't answer my question. If you have an ATT model (SGH-I777) did you SIM-unlock it?

Again, if you actually have an ATT model (SGH-I777) and you flashed an I9100 firmware, you probably got modem files not meant for your phone.

Bottom line, check your phone model. Don't trust the boot screen or the About Phone details, as a firmware flash will change those. Look on the label under your battery. I'm guessing you have an SGH-I777, and you flashed a GT-I9100 firmware.

ATT's Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777) has its own forum.

T-Mobile's (SGH-T989) has its own forum too.

EDIT: Please let this be a lesson. Always be sure you are flashing a firmware meant for your specific model of phone.

Hi All

So this is my first android game, and I'm looking for feedback/suggestions for improvements.

It's called Stone Games Compendium - it lets you play tic-tac-toe, tapatan, achi and shisima all from the same app. While it's never going to take on angry birds, I'm hoping some people will find it amusing to play for a little while.

It's available on Google Play now.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] EresboSS:
That looks nice. Which program use to create it?
[Android Apps and Games] mihutec:
Programmed in Java, using the Android SDK and Eclipse.

[Android Apps and Games] ternios:
Nice game.

An issue I discovered playing on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1:

When I start the app, the "Choose a game" menu is visible on the screen. If I then proceed to select game, difficulty and color, the "Choose a game" menu is still visible (i.e., after I press color to start the game, the "Choose game menu" is still on top, covering the "game board"). If I press the "back" button the menu disappears and I can play the game. I can also enter the game, difficulty and color again, and then the menu is not visible, so it seems that it only happens the first time.

Good luck with the game.

I just discovered this launcher while installing a rom for my brother's Vodafone 858. I think many of us don't know this launcher, so I'm here to share it!

It's called 360 Launcher, and it is one of the best ones available for Android!

It uses only 2-3 MB-s of RAM, there are many themes for it, many effects, and it runs very fluidly on our GT540!

It also supports ICS animations, while most launchers don't, even Go Launcher uses the GB ones.

Also check out this xda link, you can have lots of information there.

Hello Everyone,

I'm quite new to android so, please pardon me if I say anything wrong.

Here's my story:

I rooted my Galaxy S2 following this video on Youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3YP5bHo04Y

Rooting was successful, everything went fine. But later in the day, when I connected my phone to my computer, and opened Samsung Kies, it notified me that there's an firmware update. So ofcourse , I updated my firmware.

After updating, I found out that Superuser is gone and I no longer had root access.

So yeah, I tried rooting following the video above again, however, this time it did not work. It says something "permission" errors and It says "Cleaning up" then rebooted my phone.

After my phone rebooted, it says my phone is rooted but when i checked in my phone, it's not. No Superuser, no root access. Tried installing superuser in market, did not work. So here are my current phone details.

Current phone details:

Phone : Samsung Galaxy S2, GT-I9100

Android version : 2.3.6

Baseband Version : I9100DXKL1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100DXKL3-CL814816root@DELL137 #2

Build number : GINGERBREAD.DXKL3

How can I reset this phone completely (unrooted) so that I can root it again ?

i'm new to android os, so yeah, please help !

Thanks,

SotongzXc

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kopraasbotha:
The easiest would be to download a custom rom to your SD card (I suggest CheckROM RevoHD v6) and one of Chainfire's insecure kernels.

Step one: make sure you know the location of the custom firmware on your phone (it's in a ZIP file)

Step two: flash Chainfire's kernel with ODIN from your PC (now you will have CWM recovery)

Step three: enter recovery on your phone by holding volume up + home + power button. Do the wipes and install the ZIP update

Step four: uninstall KIES and rather install the drivers only (just google Samsung USB drivers 1.4.8.0)

I hope this helps. PM me if you still have issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You can also retry the method you first used, but do what is called the "RAM crash" method. Load apps on your phone and keep them active (by pressing Home instead of Back) until your phone is using over 500 MB of RAM. (Actual RAM. Not system storage. You may need an app to check this.) Then try that method again.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] electronixtar:
Hi guys,

I have an idea against access-hungry apps on Android, since Android is so open, why don't we make an access emulation layer, if an trivial app asks for SMS and Contacts access, grant it, but you can feed fake data to it whatever you want, sort like a firewall to malicious apps.

This would involde several API hooks, is this idea plausible?

There is already something similar on iOS Cydia: Protect My Privacy

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tesla33:
Hi,

I'm not a noob in rooting and using customized ROMs on Android but I AM a noob with the TF101. I have tried to work through some of the information provided in the different topics and I am still trying to wrap my head around stuff like ICS, AOKP, cornerstone and whatnot.

What I am trying to find is a slim, stable and reasonable fast ROM that cleans out most of the Asus bloatware. WIFI connectivity is important to me, but 3G is not.

Can anybody (pretty please) recommend a reliable ROM that would be a good point to start with. It would just be a lot easier to work my way through the details if I had a ROM to start with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Henning
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tingtan:
Revolver and ARHD are modified from stock ROM from ASUS. CM9 and AOKP are based on AOSP with modification to work on Transformer.

If you are migrating from stock ROM, ARHD or Revolver will give you a similar feel, they are both good ROM to start with. I am currently using ARHD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tesla33:
Thank you for the help tingtan. (* searches forum for an explanation of "AOSP" *). I am assuming ARHD is short for Revolution HD?

A lot of the newbie guides point to "Prime" ROMs of various versions (like the "Asus Reference Thread" is pointing to Prime V1.4). Anything worth mentioning about those?

Also, there is a lot of talk if random reboots on ICS, so would it be more advisable to pick for example a non-ICS ARHD?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tingtan:
Yes, ARHD is Android Revolution HD. Prime has not been updated for a long time, last update was Nov 12, 2011, for custom ROM, it means the author is not maintaining it anymore.

ICS has some problems, app compatibility, battery drain, random reboots. I like to try new stuff (have several phones and tablets), so not a problem for me. Will get stable over time.

If you want a stable version, use Gingerbread (Android version 3.2), Prime, Revolver and ARHD are all stable and fast ROM. Another added bonus for Gingerbread is you can use OC/UV kernel.

You can monitor if a ROM is active and stable, read the forum in:

Oops! Thanks for clearing up my error. Guess I getting old :-)

I tried Revolver, ARHD and KRAKD. Have been using KRAKD before upgrading to ICS, tried AOKP for couple of days before settle down on ARHD 3.1.0.

Yes, KRAKD has been a nice ROM, hangs several times a week recently (maybe not ROM related), that is why I have decided to upgrade to ICS.

I actually got spoiled with ICS after having it for one day (official OTA), so I just had to change to an ICS rom. I went with team EOS build 12 and so far its been quite good.
[LG Optimus 2x] vince_junior:
Hi everyone!

Just got the optimus 2x from my brother. Its still in stock rom. May i know from you what's the fastest and most stable custom rom for the phone so that i could give it a try?
[LG Optimus 2x] jordantr:
Im using miui 2.3.16 + etana kernel with lite battery mod. No issues found.
[LG Optimus 2x] MisjudgedTwat:
cm7 kang by temasek with ironkrnl (64 log-uv-su) and stockcam.

best gb-stable imo.
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
I vote for this.

but if you don't use any video recording, CM9-Kang by owain already can be used for daily.

it's fast & stable enough if using default config.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I'm pretty happy with what I have in my sig.

However, I would test drive the phone for a couple of weeks if I were you. There have been users reporting very bad battery life that returned the phone and got a much better one.

So personally I would test-drive every functionality of the phone: 3G, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc and make sure everything is working fine before going for "warranty voiding activities" :)
[LG Optimus 2x] MisjudgedTwat:
+1

Thats also what i'm using right now, also with ironkrnL (80 uv-log-su-rld), Chainfire3D and my own sd-fix. But in cause of the missing hw acc, i posted the cm7 variant :)
[LG Optimus 2x] optimusG:
+1 for cm7 kang by temasek (with stock kernel).

Anybody can give me the link for iron kernel for cm7. Thank u
[LG Optimus 2x] MisjudgedTwat:

You have to change the filename before flashing, i recommend to NOT use "jrnl"!

[LG Optimus 2x] RoXeon:
I guess question was about fastest and most stable ROM, not about "stable and fast enough". ICS on P990 is highly unstable for now. I'm using ICS for daily use and i don't complain, but there's always something that isn't working as it suppouse to. So at this moment CM7 isn't only more stable then ICS, it's faster too. Android 4.0 doeasn't even have hw acceleration yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] vcrp94:
Agreed, at this moment CM7 is much more stable and also faster, i tried CM9 but some apps didn't work and sometimes the phone was getting slow all of the sudden not to mention the browser was always crashing, im using CM7 now and its so fast and stable :D
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
You can use CM7 and see it flying, but without some of the phone features, like video call (I'm not talking about Skype or viber, just the native one), smart share, divx, hdmi video resize... Or you can try one of stock roms with the great kernels from here and have a full phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] vince_junior:
Thanks for all the replies. Will try out soon. Also, I have noticed that the battery life for the optimus 2x is so bad! With stock froyo last night, after just about 2hrs of some wifi and games, the battery has already gone down to 15%!!! That's how bad it is!

Is this normal? Should I return the phone to the store?

Also, will the gingerbread update and/or custom rom flashing bring about better life for the battery?
[LG Optimus 2x] mparack:
DjangoManouche 1.1 is highly recommended with V20q baseband and HP SR3R2 Kernel. After trying out many stock variants, Modaco ROMS, Thanatos and CM ROMS, I finally settled on this one as it has resolved all the issues I had with the phone and gives good battery and network performance.
[LG Optimus 2x] neosound:
You say you got the device from your brother. I don't know how long he used it before he gave it to you, but it could be an option to ask him for his experiences according the battery. I think droping down to 15% from full charge in 2h of using wifi (browsing?) and decent gaming isn't normal.

As long as you are not sure that the hardware is ok and think about to bring it back to the store, keep in mind that with rooting you will loose your warranty.

If you decide to stay with your 2X, i would recommend to try the latest CM7 Kang build by temasek. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421425

I was so disappointet by the buggy firmware that LG provided. But after trying some ROMs and coming to cyanogen mod, this kang made my dreams come true. Lots of features and tweaks, absolute stable and smooth. Since the beginning of the year i use it together with ETaNa Kernel by vadonka. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427646

It's simply perfect. :D

Vadonka also gives a "Lite battery driver" version, which provides a good battery life without loosing the fantastic speed. I can only say - I love this combination. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Micronuub:
Im using CM9 now with ironkrnl It's good for daily use, but a freaking battery killer!

My aim is always to get a ROM With the most durability.
[LG Optimus 2x] vince_junior:
He just let me use his credit card. It's new. So the short battery life is really not normal. I will still observe it for a day or two, then maybe i'll decide then if i should return it or not.

Until then, I will hold myself from rooting it and flashing it with a custom rom.

I can only thank you for all the replies. Might give everything a try this weekend. (-:
