Dumb question but thought would ask.. I just got my GS2 and looking to root it do you need a external memory chip to due so? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
not really for rooting, It's preferred. But you need it for installing custom ROMS.

P.S. on the top of this forum there is a step by step guides for everything.

Also there is a Q&A forum for things like that.

Actually, if you are on 2.3.6 you may need an external AS to root via CWM. that is unless they fixed super one click.

Hello,

For the stock Web Browser, I know there is a method to make web sites render really like the PC version, I mean like the screenshot below. We use the 'about:debug' url to change some advanced settings (UAString, viewport,...).

But I don't know how to do that in Chrome Beta. I waited for the last update which integrates an option to view a web page in 'Desktop mode' but, seems like it changes only the UAString, but not the viewport.

It's very annoying, and I'll continue using the stock browser until I find a solution for that... So if someone know how to fix that... Thanks !

My Phone Is in BootLoop/HardBrick Was Useing Odin One Click To Revert Back To Stock Froyo I Do Not Remember What Version i Used But I Think It Was Made From DesignerGear But Here Is What Happens And All The Info I Have Collected On It.

1.Power Button Does Nothing

2.Both Volume Buttons And Computer Usb Connected Goes to Battery Sign

3.Down Voulme Plus Power Button Does Nothing

4.Wall Plugin Goes To Att Logo And Flashes Every Couple Of Seconds

Would Like to Know If Its a BootLoop/HardBrick And If It Will Be Able To be Fixed

Also Bought A Jig But Wont Get here For A While But If you Think The Jig Will Fix It Then Please Post If It Will
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
I would suggest you take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread if you haven't already. There might be something there for you to try.
[Captivate General] cmilldrummin:
If you have the battery screen still showing and it appears to actually be charging the phone then you should be ok. A jig should most definitely get you into download mode and from there you can flash back to stock. If this is the one click you used, it's never failed me. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Just to make the OP fully aware, the one-click listed above does flash froyo bootloaders.

If that's not something you want to do, you can check the one-click thread sticky at the top of the Development section.
[Captivate General] cmilldrummin:
Very true. As long as you aren't intending to stay on a stock ROM, roms like cyanogenmod will come with gingerbread bootloaders anyways though.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Unless it's a build I'm not aware of, the roms I've come across (cyanogenmod included) usually don't have bootloaders included.

The roms with bootloaders are exclusively Heimdall/Odin packages, as you have to use one of those programs to flash the bootloaders (with the exception of an old Cognition build which had a modified secondary bootloader, but that's a dangerous thing).

Not trying to be obnoxious or nitpicky, but just want to clarify that bootloader changes need to happen outside of flashing roms in CWM recovery.
[Captivate General] cmilldrummin:
Maybe I don't understand bootloaders like I thought I did then lol. I've never had any problems flashing between stock, CM7, and CM9. And I've never manually flashed any bootloaders either?
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
No problem. If you're going between builds of CyanogenMod, you usually can have either the Froyo/Eclair or Gingerbread bootloaders - CM doesn't seem to care. If you've never flashed a stock Samsung rom that includes bootloaders, you may still be on the Froyo/Eclair bootloaders (and if you've flashed the one you linked most recently, you definitely are).

The issue comes up when you're flashing Samsung-based roms, as a mismatch between bootloaders and Android version can cause some unfortunate behavior. Nothing fatal, just more steps to get things sorted out.
[Captivate General] RootTheMachine:
You must be on GB bootloaders because ICY glitch requires them. You probably were on stock gingerbread at some point. Also, bootloaders are never flashed from the phone; it can't touch them. You always need Odin/heimdall for it.

[Captivate General] cmilldrummin:
Understood. I did update to stock gingerbread at one point via mini kies. So that changed the bootloaders to gingerbread. Thanks for the explanation.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrCrumbSnatcher:
Hello,

Just bought the Galaxy Nexus CDMA version and have a question. Many people suggest turning off the 4G to conserve battery. If I'm on a Wi-Fi network for most of the day, is it necessary to turn off 4G? If Wi-Fi is on (and connected), is 4G still being used and draining the battery unnecessarily? I figured Wi-Fi would "trump" 4G.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
The radio is still active and maintaining the signal will sap your juice. Think of it this way: when your phone is only on 4g and you're not using it, it still drains the battery even though you're not downloading files and whatnot.

I've flashed a new rom on days where I was just home and in wifi-range and forgotten to re-toggle 4g off, and found that my battery had drained all that much more than normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrCrumbSnatcher:
Thanks Joe for the reply..... IMHO, it doesn't make sense to me. I wonder why 4G is active (or even 3g for that matter) with a Wi-Fi connection? It makes sense to me when you are not on Wi-Fi because you need to have the data connection (4G) readily available for data. But if you already have a connection via Wi-Fi, why do you need another data connection (3G or 4G).

I did notice this though:

1. Wi-Fi is active (blue status bars at Wi-fi status and data connection status)

2. Turn off Wi-fi (Wi-Fi status dissapears as expected)

3. 4G status is blue for about a second or two.

4. 4G status turns grey for about a second or two.

5. 4G status turns back to blue.

If 3G/4G is truly active (with Wi-Fi Connection), I would assume that the status would never turn Grey for the second or two. In past experiences with other devices, when the status was grey, I couldn't get data connections.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
When you turn on wifi, it disconnects you from the 3G or LTE network. You can check this from network status.

So no, you do not need to turn off LTE if you are on wifi all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Hmm well I see where it says disconnected, but I still get a signal reading and it says I am on LTE or eHRDP in the usual spot.

I understand about the radio being in a low-power state, but I was left with the impression, from my usage, that battery always seemed to drain that much more when I didn't toggle 4g off altogether. But it's been a while since I just wrote 4g off altogether so I'm going to test it again tonight when I have a chance to leave the phone undisturbed with wifi and 4g on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You can never actually turn a radio off, so you will not see a battery life difference if you set it to cdma only and use 3G while on wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
When you turn on WiFi it doesnt disconnect your Data connection but your phone will know when WiFi is on to use WiFi instead of Data. The only way to save power is to manually turn it off. Just remember that when you do you cannot receive or send picture texts. There may be other things im not sure. Youll still know you recieved a picture text so just make sure you turn on your Data connection before downloading it. Otherwise you have to wait for another or send one of your own to download it.

Now I dont know the situation of your area for service but here we get great 3g coverage. It serves me well for surfing the net, using Google Navigation, just about everything but videos. So why waste the power for 4g? If I need it I can get a connection quick enough but I dont usually. I dunno, For what I need using 4G is like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight. Why? Id rather leave it in the trunk of my car close by just in case :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It does turn off data when switching to wifi. Check your network status.

To be clear, I mean mobile data network when I say data.

Look at the last item.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrCrumbSnatcher:
Thank you all for your help.

@adrynalyne -- Thanks for showing me the network status location. Didn't even notice that. You are indeed correct that it displays "disconnected" when on Wi-Fi.

@IFLATLINEI -- Regarding 3G service speeds.... in Manhattan, 3G is horribly slow. 4G is great. Even though I'm on Wi-Fi most of the the time at work, there are times when I step out for lunch and need 3G/4G. I find it somewhat cumbersome to flip back and forth from 3G to 4G..... The switching of networks seem to sometimes take up to a minute (or longer) to find the data network specified. That is why I would rather leave the phone in 4G mode when Wi-Fi is turned on.

@JoeSyr -- Let us know the results of your test. Once my phone/battery is broken in, I plan on doing the same... but I'm fairly confident that the results should be relatively close due to adrynalyne's comments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It definitely does not keep data on when you're on WiFi. It specifically disconnects your data network. It makes no sense to keep both enabled at once.

View attachment 1010696
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
I seen the first 3 posts saying the same thing. Obviously there is more to it than that right? If I have both wifi and data on how would I still receive a picture text? Since as I explained before. You cannot receive a picture text without data turned on. Again turning on wifi is not turning data off. The network status seems to be telling you it will just use wifi instead. If I'm wrong address my example with picture texts. Dont just direct me to Network Status again. We already established that on the first page of the thread.

To the O.P I didn't expect you to do what I do. Just an example of how I manage to get my phone through the day. If you don't have good 3g like we do then it makes no sense to save power with my method. So you can still just turn 4g when on wifi. But unless some one can clarify what actually happens to data when wifi is turned on then I would recommend doing it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
On other devices, it was handled by the incoming MMS for a split second switching to the mobile network. Now on the Nexus, the uaprof is generic and uses a google server, so I don't think it matters anymore. Or maybe it switches faster than I can see it. Would be interesting to logcat it. Either way, once the MMS is received, the mobile network disconnects. I just sent an MMS and watched my network status. It never changed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAProf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
Lol. I'm not trying to be a pain about this. Its just weird. I would really like to believe that when I turn my wifi on data was actually turned off. If its true then I can stop toggling my data connection all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It effectively does. You're taking an extra completely unnecessary step by manually turning off your data when you're on WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Look at it like this. You are using more battery switching to 3g while on wifi because thats a few more seconds the soul sucking screen is on :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
Alright then. Settled. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Well quick update, I found that 4g vs 3g w/ wifi on came out to about the same in a single overnight test for each, as far as total battery drain goes. I couldn't stick to a completely standard testing format for timeframe and hours, but the difference was pretty negligible. 89% after 10.5 hours with 4g, 91% after just under 9 with 3g, slight differences in syncing apps grabbing some juice for either.

However, I did notice that there's an alarm coming from com.android.internal.telephony.gprs-data-stall that was waking my phone up a lot, and it did differ between the two tests. According to the people over in the better battery stats thread, this item indicates that the data connection was disrupted. The going theory there seems to be that there's a core ICS bug that's causing this to still fire when wifi is on. Apparently it's pretty common for them to get reports of it from ICS devices, but I only know as much as skimming the last few pages of that thread has told me.

For what it's worth, my gprs-data-stall count was 368 for 10.5 hours on 4g+wifi, and 89 for about 9 hours on 3g+wifi (although if this affects battery life, it's only on the order of .1% per hour according to my quick little tests). Seems like it could be due to either random interference or an ICS bug that meets different outcomes when using the 4g/3g radios. I imagine that if my phone lost and re-established a 4g data connection 368 times overnight I'd see a noticeable battery drain, so if this is a bug it might be pretty benign.

Perhaps if more people could start compiling BBS logs for wifi+data time we could get a better picture about whether there's a bug in the source that's causing the gprs-data-stall behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
A picture text temporarily turns on 3g data, receives it, then shuts it off. All while keeping wifi on.

This happens to me all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zolah:
So me and my buddy both have a Gnex...

I tend to not really use the task button on the nav bar too much to swipe away tasks.

My buddy on the other hand likes to kill apps off EVERY SINGLE TIME he leaves an app. And i mean EVERY time, as soon as he leaves it he swipes its ass.

I think thats a bit much.

Ive always been under the impression that any kind of task killer can do more harm than good, as it slows things down when you reopen an app as it has to load it from scratch again.

My friend argues that your supposed to do it because thats the the button and feature is there for.

I would have thought that it was just there for in case you want to manually free up ram for what ever reason, or quickly jump between apps.

So whos doing the right thing and whos doing the wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
there is no right or wrong for this.. its all personal preference

i usually just keep it there until i kno i have reach like 10+ apps, then i just swipe them away cuz i dont want my list to be that long...

but when u say close every app every time.. i only do that when i kno it keeps running in the background sucking my cpu and battery ex. Facebook app

then i will swipe away every time i dont need it, while others i just keep it there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
"task manager" its not a good definition for what it does

in real its show u the list of the last used apps and when u swipe away an app, u ONLY remove it from that list...it doesn't ( correctly ) kill anything

the real important thing, is that when u want exit from an app then press the back button to leave the app...the home button instead leave the app "running" in its state
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
swiping away from multi-tasking UI DOES kill the app.. or u can say kill the activity, but if the app has a process, it will still be there.

but it definitely kill the app activity
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
From a simple test it doesn't kill any app for me.. try checking the apps running with quick system info or a similar app

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
its been discussed in here xda (try the search button), AND from google android developer (her g+ post)

IT DOES KILL believe it or not
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
its purely personal preference when it comes to swiping away the tiles/icons/whatever, but he needs to realize that all he's doing is slowing down the resume/relaunch times of his apps, not to mention wasting minutes of his day swiping them away for (effectively) no reason. He's not going to see increased performance or battery life from constantly OCD closing the apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
That...

And if there is an obnoxious app that he's killing...one that auto-starts itself again...

It'll waste battery as it restarts.

(These obnoxious apps should be avoided anyway, obviously.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
it does not kill :)

u must use the search :P

its a list of recent used apps..u can remove apps from that list..not killing anything..and this is how should work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
lol whatever u say. i bet u didnt do any search
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
we can go on forever, but im sure about what im talking about..u are disinformed

are we talking of the same thing? pressing the ics built in multitasking button (on a stock rom) doesn't allow u to kill apps, only to remove it from that list

u can test it urslef in lot of way..also im not sure if u are trolling, but anyone here can confirm what im saying

i'm not going to reply again in this post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
seems like ur trolling more cuz it has been proved it does kill the activity of an app when u swipe away in multitasking ui

try searching stuff before u say anything

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445065&highlight=kill

edit: there are lots of videos on youtube of people posting it kills from swiping away

showing the difference between pressing home after opening the app, then swipe away, the app has to reload again. cuz it kills the activity
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Umm yeah, it does. It kills activities, but not associated services. Try it out first.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfabet0:
Dear forum members.

I know what you may be thinking this is yet another thread on Galaxy Note screen problems, I couldn’t bring myself to post in the existing thread only to have it be drowned under the 1,300 of old posts http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336187.

I’m not looking to fix this problem myself I simply need the correct terminology to describe this problem to a Samsung engineer for what will be the second return under warranty.

Display:

E.g. in portrait mode very fine small red pixels peppered to the top of the screen under the notification bar spreading out thinly to the bottom right, most visible with a gray or white background apparent with screen set on lowest light setting and or when in a low light environment.

I appreciate that this may seem a petty concern why not simply make the screen brighter but given my eyes have a sensitivity to bright lights this is not an option.

My phone has apparently undertaken a complete diagnosis and service or at least that’s what the letter from Regenersis service centre said.

In addition to my main concern above I list the bellow only for completeness of this report as they may be connected with the above screen issue:

1.	Strange nuanced behaviour of the automatic brightness which turns my phone into a mobile disco.

2.	Banding on low resolution images.

3.Backgrounds especially white changes shades for example.: it could take a pink-ish shade or a green-ish shade or a light blue one.

My sincere thanks for taking the time to read:)
