[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jambajews:
Hey guys, just wondering if wiping battery stats really has no purpose/effect on battery life, I've read the statement from the Google employee stating that it does nothing but I still see people doing it in several threads...just wondered what you guys think about wiping battery stats, and if any of you still do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
It does nothing on our phone. For phones with a different type of fuel gauge it works (columb counter I believe they're called), but our gauge operates off of voltage and not mah used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Felix2402:
I never wipe battery stats. I flashed so many roms too and my battery has been consistent. I used to do it when i had my fascinate though and i never noticed a difference after
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jambajews:
Thanks for the replies! I never clear my stats either...I didn't know that other phones used different methods to read battery levels, but I'm glad the SG2's meter is voltage based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] danny1oh:
Thanks. I've flashed only a handful of different roms and never cleared batt status. I've always wondered if that would do anything, but never tried.

I noticed it takes a couple days for the battery to settle down to get an accurate idea of the expected battery life after flashing a new rom though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolaiim:
Hello fellow XDAers!

Last night i flashed HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM, and i must say it's very impressive... most of the things run smoothly and it has alot of cool configurations. but i have some problems, which is pretty critical cause i need them to use the phone on a daily basis, and i would love to acutally do so. Hope you can help me with these stuff:

- I can make calls out of the phone, but when a call is incomming to the phone, it is automaticly cancled. I can see it in the calllog. I thought this could have something to do with the modem, but because i can make calls and becuse the phone notices that there is a call trying to get in in it porbably isnt. Anyway, I live in Norway, just as u know if there could be something with the net/modem.

- The home button doesn't work. It can wake up the phone from sleep, but nothing more than that. ( i have done the "longpress home action ---> show recents" config.)

- The MHL (HDMI converter) over to my TV doesnt work properly. When i connect it the picture on the TV freezes, but the sound works for a few min before the whole thing crashes and the TV turns black. After this I must reconnect to make it work

- I can't play AVI files with the player. I don't know if this is a bug, but i thought .AVI is a pretty standard format and should be able to be played by the mediaplayer.

Thx for ur attention, hope u can help me! :)

AVI is not a format its a container so check your format .

AS for the rest factory reset or reflash the rom .

Still not working change the rom .

Hi

I've just received my new SGS II a week ago, and I have been noticing that it randomly restarts.

It seems to occur without any reason and the restarts both when I'm using it and when it's just sitting idle.

I wonder if it is related to ICS or if it might be a hardware problem. What do you guys think?

When it restarts it shows the samsung logo and all but it doesn't require me to enter the pin for my sim card.

Cheers!

What you have to do is take a relatively long rag, dip it in some gasoline, stick it in the tank, and light the rag on fire. Remember to stand really close to the car. This method is great for getting past recovery and download modes, and resets the car to factory settings and allows for easy installation of rom files.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
What is the best way to lets say, extract a notification or ringtone folder from a zipped rom and transfer them to my current running rom? So it replaces the current one. I know you can move one at the time, but it takes forever.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
If you have knowledge of adb create a ringtones folder which hold the ringtones you wanna add.

Adb push ringtones /system/media/audio/ringtones

This should merge them in.

Using a file explorer you can likely use a similar method. Create a folder named ringtones. Move it with root to system/media/audio. This should merge as well. Make sure to backup your stock ones or at least have them handy from another rom just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Cool thanks. I have knowledge of abd. It seemed like when I did it last time all it did was add the whole folder inside the existing one, without actually replacing it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Right. You might have pushed it to syststem/media/audio like pushing an app to system/app.

Try pushing it to the folder specifically system/media/audio/ringtones. Should make the difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Or you can always add them to your rom zip prior to flashing or add them now and reflash rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

I keep looking but for some reason i can't find one I like.

I want a hard shell but adds minimal bulk.

I want it to protect the corners and have a lip on the face so i can lay the phone face down.

To get picky I want a matte finish and preferably blue. I don't like the glossy look or feel or the silicon, rubbery look or feel. I also just want a solid color and nothing fancy or swirly ;)

I got the elago case and like the look but it doesn't protect the ends or one corner and has no lip.

What I really want is a Seido Surface like I had for my Tbolt

http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-thunderbolt-surface-case-sapphire-blue-p/csr3htmec-bl.htm

Sorry for the noob question but what do I get by changing the screen density in my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go.george:
There's a procedure, but why do you want to try this?

1. Open Root Explorer.

2. Go to /system

3. Click on Mount RW (It should appear as Mount RO, that’s when it is correct!)

4. Look for build.prop. Long press on the file and press Open file in Editor

5. Scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density=240

6. Change the value to anywhere between 180 and 240. The lower the value, the higher density your screen will have.

7. Click on the Menu button, and Save and Exit.

8. Reboot.

Be careful because you may encounter some problems with the market. If so change to 240dpi when want to use market and then back to your option....

if ur phone doesn't start then wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and reboot.which method r u using to change dpi?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thracemerin:
There was a bug in some pre-release versions of ICS where ro.sf.lcd_density appeared twice in the build.prop and if both instances weren't changed to the same number, the phone would hang on the boot screen, I'm not 100% sure that this persisted in release versions but it's a possibility and a possible cause of boot problems.

First off I was looking at rooms and noticed there are no Android 4.0 roms??? That are stable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SharkBait Ha:
Aosp roms? Or tw 4.0?

We have both roms. And both do have bugs

Before you ask search
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Policeman:
Like he said we do have 4.0.3. Check the development thread to see what's out there. The closest to stable is raverx black edition which is touch wiz based but you can always use apex launcher if you want an asop experience. Raver also has asop almost completed but alas the ics roms we do have out are a bit buggy but some can be daily drivers. Either way, nandroid backup and try em out till you find what's good for you cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
i'm running ics megamix with apex launcher and it's been pretty stable.

raver's black edition had a lot fcs for me and really wasn't good enough for dd.

and racing's was good, but i only ran the original (with the reboot/shutdown bug).

but as far as i can tell, they really are all about the same, just with different levels of debloating (which raver's has the least bloat, but i think that led to some of the instability i encountered) and some different bootanimations/theme tweaks.

the main bugs are autorotate is broken and some people have call echo, but i haven't experienced call echo on any that i've ran.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] horr1blek1tten:
There is a stock rom ported from at & ts sgs2 ics update. That's as close as you get to official for us. There's only one bug the rotation is whack and it's full of atts bloat other then that it's good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rawr4dj:
My last question is I know it doesn't have a notification light and I read somewhere that there is a way to make the capactive buttons (the ones on the bottom menu home etc) light up instead
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
the most common i've seen is called bln, stands for backlight notification (i'm pretty sure there are others, too, but i'm not familiar with them). you need a compatible kernel, though, and so i don't think any of the ics can support it yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] masamichi7:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
The kernel in the ROM must support BLN for it to work. There is another app on the market that will work on any ROM. It is called NoLED. It does not use the capacitive buttons but will show a light or if configured an icon on your screen even when screen is off for any apps you choose for it to manage. it will use separate icons for phone, sms, etc... so you know what you missed instead of just the lights like with BLN.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
The ICS camera app requires frameworks that are in ICS. So you likely won't get it on Gingerbread.

Now if all you want is to map the shoulder triggers to do camera functions, that is certainly possible. It requires reboots when you want to go between game and camera modes though, from when I last heard.
