OK, managed to fix things

adb shell

wipe all this wiped most stuff but not everything

Managed to do the "wipe" option at boot up (press down vol + power, leave go of power - etc...). then chose left icon. that did a wipe as well.

Hey presto - no more encryption.

into CWM recovery - all options working now - wipe data doesn't error anymore :) yippee

installed Virtuosa again and blow my socks off - everything is working - INCLUDING ,my WIFI.

Moral of the story - never give up, and never believe things cant be done just because people say they cant. Persevere and you shall overcome, or have a nice brick door stop that cost a lot of money - hehe
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad2607:
Hey I recently rooted my galaxy s2 using the zergling program, then flashed Resurrection ICS Remix v1.0.

Just for future reference if I ever want to restore everything to stock/unroot I just need to factory reset, flash stock kernal (XWKI4) and flash stock firmware (XWKI4) using Odin? If not what exactly do I need to do to restore it?

I couldn't really find a definitive yes or no answer so I'd figured I'd make a thread :).

Thanks for any help =).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Yeah just flash back to a stock firmware. Use a USB jig to reset flash counter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitsos89:
If after using the jig your flash counter isn't restored, you sould flash via odin an older bootloader then use the jig again and finally flash the new bootloader.

search at this thread for "bootloader".

Hi guys,

My iPhone just broke and I had to get a Samsung Galaxy SII :(

It doesn't seem like I can use any of the cool functions of the iPhone like iCloud and iCal. Is there a way to hack your Samsung to make it like the iPhone???

Please help!!!!! im desperate!!!!!!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
more than enough suitable replacements, and you now have a much better device. get yourself drop box and or box.net and you will have plenty of free cloud back up. Sync your ical with gmail on your pc then sync your google calendar and you should be set. I am not sure why you would think you can sync icloud with an android device, unless this is a fraud post, if so i am an idiot

★★★★★ New and Original Gameplay!

★★★★★ Multi Touch Gestures!

★★★★★ For all ages from kids to Adults!

★★★★★ Social Networking with PlayPhone!

★★★★★ Worldwide leaderboards!

★★★★★ Lots of Achievements to unlock!

Tetrizzle is a great new and original type of puzzle game with integrated PlayPhone social networking features and a lot of achievements to unlock, challenge a friend to beat your highscore! The goal of Tetrizzle is to connect the outer wall colors to the Tetrizzle Core in the center of the playing field using the color you started with at the outer wall. Really simple to learn but very hard to master! It starts out with the 7 standard Tetris tetriminos but every level a new piece will be added until you get all 18 puzzle pieces. The game contains two modes, puzzle mode and Arcade mode.

Just put your finger on a puzzle piece to grab it, while grabbed you can slide anywhere over the screen and drop it in the play area to get the next piece, you can also rotate the blocks while dragging the block (keep on holding down with the finger you grabbed the block with) and tapping the screen with a second finger to rotate the puzzle piece either left or right! If you cannot turn the block then devices does not support multi touch!

In Puzzle mode you get 3 puzzle pieces to choose from and when you pick one it gets replaced by a new puzzle piece.

If there is a puzzle piece that you don't like just drag it to the trashcan and you will get a new piece, this will cost you 100 points and will deduct 5 seconds from your gametime so use with care!

If you use 20+ colored blocks to connect to the Tetrizzle core you will get a Color Changer, for a 30+ flood you will get a Block Eraser, a 50+ flood will give you a flood filler and 80+ will give you a Tetrizzle (This will clean the whole playing field when pressing the red button left from the pause button) To use color changer, block eraser or flood filler just put your finger on the barrel and slide up and drop where you need it!

In Arcade mode the block scroll by and you can pick the one you need, but be careful every block you let go will cost you one second of your precious gametime!

If you can complete level 10 then Medium levels get unlocked and if you can complete level 20 Hard levels will be unlocked.

There are 30 levels in total, more will be added later!

This game is NOT Tetris but it is as addictive if not more!

People that like Tetrizzle also liked Wheres my water, Cut The Rope, Apparatus, Uno, Angry Birds, Angry Birds RIO, angry Birds Space and move the box!

A big "Thank You" to my beta testers especially Robbie Deighton and Piet Romain for the many hours of testing and giving me a lot of feedback!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonneymendoza:
Hi.

how much does it cost to fix/replace the screen of the galaxy nexus device? i dropped my work's galaxy nexus and the screen is cracked with a small hole near the edge of the screen.

the phone seems to still work and the screen is still responsive as ever but actual screen casing is cracked.

I dont think its insured by work but just incase , how much is it to repair/replace? Same cost as the device? i hope not as im already stressing about it lol.

Who would fix it? Samsung themselves or do i ask a specialist?

I am based in london by the way if that helps.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
id suggest you fix it yourself, just buy the sreen which is about $250 :s, but hey its at least not as much as a new nexus

taking the phone apart the device is quite easy try using these links here:

And if he send it back to samsung its gonna be 160$.... at the moment its not worth to repair it by himself.

Youll need to wait for the price to go down if you want to replace if yourself.

Yea i seen the prices of the digitiser and it aint cheap. they start at around £160-£200
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarte:
I consider this issue as very important for various causes... First of all it effects a lot of people, second is the fact it can hurt very much the experience with this wonderful phone and another reason is this problem not being PERMANENT. I can 100% confirm that 3-4 months ago I didnt have this problem im suffering from it the last month or so.

Here is a video of the problem itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj5z08CC5AQ&NR=1

and here is the discussion from last year: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=946834&highlight=digitizer

They say that its a problem with the touchscreen driver HTC provides and maybe its somehow connected with the kernel (I dont know anything about developing so...) but I know from my own experience that this problem can happen, I mean a fully functional and SMOOTH touchscreen can Become faulty and buggy screen.

I hope some dev can help all of us who have this problem and do something about the driver\kernel.

Thanks.

ps. I noticed my problem after i flashed few new ICS roms that started to come out... maybe some rom messed up with the drivers ? (i know that after you do all the wipes u can before you install a new rom some information still remains, like the clockwork... and one rom can change the things for all the roms u install after it)

PSS. In the video some people say it can be from water/humidity damage, who can confirm this ? it can turn a good touchscreen to a bad one after awhile in the pocket.

I'd love to see this problem fixed too. The problem is so annoying, ive been trying to play draw something and it's pretty much impossible cos of the wobbly lines.

I too am convinced this is a driver issue, although i must say i noticed the problem the day i got my desire hd and its been there with all roms i've tried.

I wouldn't mind taking a look into this myself. I know c++ and other languages but i wouldn't know where to start. If someone could guide my in the right direction i might be able to figure something out.

hi

i'm italian and I don't speak English very well

i have a samsung sgh-i897 version 2.2 at&t sim-locked

i grant the root access with unlockroot 2.3

i try to unlock with Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool app in the market

when i select "Root Gen Codes",

i get an error message "SORRY, no codes found unknown error"

Why???

Biggio
[Captivate General] b-eock:
Don't listen to him, he is new and doesn't know what he is talking about. Talk to user TRusello about this. It is because it is a I896 not I897, the unlock process is different, yet it is still free! He is right about the hard lock and all, but no need to pay when the code just has to be accessed and entered into the phone.
[Captivate General] biggio78:
Is there any guide in the forum that I can use?

i try to unlock with Generate Unlock Windows.zip

but i have a problem also with this solution

failed to copy /efs/nv_data.bin to ./nv_data.bin --> Permission denied

------------------------------------------------------------------
[Captivate General] biggio78:
finally i unlock the phone with the app "GALAXY S UNLOCK" downloaded to the Android Market!!!

my italian sim works perfectly!!!

Now i I wonder if they can install the European firmware on my phone without losing the unlock??

If the answer is yes, what program can I do this?
[Captivate General] silvertag:
The simlock is permanent unless you get a bad rom that overwrights your efs/nv_data.bin.

There is no "European" version the SGH-i896,897 are North American released. You can take any rom and enter your own apn for your italian provider if its not present.
[Captivate General] biggio78:
ok

thanks for the clarification

biggio
[Captivate General] BloodSkin:
glad you got it fixed.

as to your permission denied issue, i believe you have to remount said partition. there is a method to do so using a hex editor that gives a nice bit of info on the whole process. the problem then becomes are the bits you must modify the same on the 896 and 897? this i do not know so i would not advise doing ANYTHING without making excessive amounts of backups, mainly of the nv_data file and the cache or md5 that goes with it (cant remember which it is but its in the same dir)

after reading your error again, i feel foolish for typing all that. you should have access to /mnt/sdcard if your sd is mounted by the phone and not the pc. there is a way of doing it without the symlinked folder but i forget the actual path and am too lazy to look it up.

to sum it up, it looks like your perms issue was because you needed to change your destination directory.

[HTC EVO 3D] fade2black101:
Was wondering if anyone else is having this problem as I haven't found anything about it which is quite surprising given how annoying it is.

Basically I've found that when I don't have a screen protector covering the lens of the camera, it picks up smudges very easily from the way I hold my phone and my finger touching the lens every now and then. This causes several very very noticable "ring" type things on the pictures I take where the flash is used. I'm a bit confused that HTC didn't address this issue as it more or less ruins any pictures taken in lower light conditions.

My solution so far has been to keep using a screen protector over the lens as this doesn't create the ring effect even if i purposely keep touching the lens with my finger. Does anyone know a solution to this though? I'd really like to not have a screen protector over my lenses as it probably ever so slightly degrades picture quality.

[HTC EVO 3D] jurrasstoil:
I've had that problem with every phone i had so far. I've just made it a habit to give the glas a quick wipe with my shirt or whatever is available unless I don't care too much how the shot actually looks.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Do you even own an Evo 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] fade2black101:
Maybe its where the lens is positioned making it more likely for me to touch it, but I've never noticed it on ny previous phones and certainly never to the extent it appears on this one. Doesn't look like there any other solution other than to give the lens a quick wipe.

How durable is the glass though? Can it scratch it wiped with a shirt, etc? Also, does anyone know exactly how much a screen protector deterioates the image?

[HTC EVO 3D] fade2black101:
Ah really?? What a ridiculous design flaw if they used a material that scratches easily considering how damm big that area is.
[HTC EVO 3D] DragX:
Well its obvious if you hold your phone with coins, keys and so. I tend to hold my phone in pocket with nothing else and since I bough my evo (early august 2011) I cant find any scratch even tiny. And yea - using shirt to clean lens is must-do before taking photo! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] grischkon:
i have the same problems with it. but i also notice some scratches on the glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] fade2black101:
I haven't got a single scratch anywhere on the phone so far as I take very good care of it, but recently I've been wanting to use the camera without a screen protector over it. It sucks that they didn't factor in that if you make a mistake ONCE and put it in a pocket with keys or something, then it will get permanently scratched. If they insist or making a big fat area of removable glass on the back, then they should really put something like gorilla glass there. And anyway, it is still a major fail for HTC as with a screen protector on, these smudges do not create rings around the photo. It is the ****ty material they used that causes this problem.

Just to confirm though, are you saying wiping the glass with your shirt will not scratch it?
