[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinHoodSnr:
Can someone tell me where the "physical" folder of the sms'es are located? I need to do a recovery on a galaxy s2...The bloke deleted his sms'es, now i'm trying to recover the lost info...

tia
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njackson:
Based on Root Explorer search

Doing a search for sms found this file on my phone - /data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

I can't say for sure if this is it, but that database sure has all of my sms in it :o

As I'm sure you will also recommend that your friend does future backups of his sms, I thoroughly recommend SMS Backup & Restore. It has worked well for me for a long time, and automatic backups are very easily scheduled :cool:

Jacko
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinHoodSnr:
Believe it or not, i have tried locating/searching for mmssms.db before my post...and found nothing :(

Think what i'll do, is download sms backup and restore....backup my sms'es...and see what the backup file is called...hopefully it will give me an idea where to search (for future ref)...thx for the tip :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinHoodSnr:
One thing i DID notice though, is that the "internal" storage, is actually called SDCARD? what a way of naming an internal storage. If i think about INTERNAL storage, its def NOT called an SDCARD...rather call it intstorage, or something like that....it will def confuse people...as we all accept the word SDCARD as a device you plug INTO th cell...and not a build in device...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorator:
If you want to backup your sms when switching from a stock samsung rom to another install Titanium Backup from the store (it's free). Find something called [SMS/MMS/APN] and do a backup.

After you install another samsung rom (with wipe), you can just open Titanium and restore Data from the save you made. Make sure you go inside the sms app first and untick 'Delete old messages'. Do a reboot and youre done.

If you are interested in adding new sms messages to your samsung rom (when you used cm9 for example, use Sms Backup and Restore, it's also free on the store). Do a reboot. Save your sms/mms with titanium and youre done.

I havent found a way to transfer mms messages between samsung and cm9/aosp/aokp roms yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinHoodSnr:
I have all those apps...Thing is, i need to attach the phone to my PC, and then do a recovery on the phone...thats why i need to know the "exact" location of the sms-storage directory...as i will have to access the phone via my PC via USB...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorator:
The files you're looking for are:

mmssms.db

telephony.db (this one contains contacts and call logs)

They are located in:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njackson:
Internal storage (sdcard)

I guess that you are aware of this but ... just in case ...

The internal storage that you are calling "sdcard" is only partly correct. If fact sdcard is below the top level root. So, sdcard is actually /sdcard, and the data directory where I found the database is /data (not on sdcard, but off the root directory). To get to this you need a rooted phone, and a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. :o

Sorry if you already knew this, but the sdcard thing was quite confusing to a newby like me before I had done quite a bit on the rooted phone. :cool:

Jacko
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinHoodSnr:
Thanks Victorator...i manage to manually find it. Weird...Although my phone is rooted, doing a search didnt get it :confused:

(althought i DID start the search from "root" )

...think i had a crappy explorer program, lol

deleted sms on Gal S2

Hi RobinhoodSnr, did you ever manage to retrieve the deleted sms's? Because I have the same problem. Deleted by accident this morning!:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinHoodSnr:
At the end of the day...I just left it and couldn't find it, although i could recover my contacts at location "/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/" ( as a previous member has mentioned )

Apparently the smses are located as "data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db"

...hope this helps :)
[LG Optimus Black] LookedPath:
Hi guys,

i have a little problem on my OB that nags me...

I noticed that when I'm using a music player that uses Android's built-in Media Scanner i get some errors in my Music Library...

For example when i'm in an Artist folder, I have two or more albums with the same name in which all the songs, that should have been in only one, are divided...

But if use a player as PowerAmp that has its own media scanner the problem is gone...

There's a way to fix that?

If the answer to previous question is negative, do you know a good player that has its own media scanner as poweramp? (ttpod exluded because is a crap)

I'm on Zeus 6.11o...

Thanks and sorry for my english... :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intae1129:
The camera won't focus on objects close up when trying to take macro shots.

Does this happen to anyone else?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
If you are fully updated try tapping the screen to focus on something specific.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Be aware that the (tiny, generally low-quality) lenses used in phones are going to usually be bad at macro anyhow. Do you know what the minimum focus range on the Focus' camera is supposed to be?

Yes, the name "Focus" is a bit of a bad joke considering the camera quality...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimchicken402:
The closest I can take a picture is about three inches, when using the camera in Macro auto focus mode. Any closer than that and it's always blurry.
[HTC One X] vinsta11:
Hi Guys, Ive noticed a problem with my HTC One X which is whenever I boot up into an application such as Facebook, Twitter etc. When I exit out of the application, It causes my htc sense to reboot causing it to always say loading whenever I exit an application.. Is this normal or do I have a fault, if it is a fault it is most likley to be a software fault so should I root and change to a custom rom (If there is any decent ones out)
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Go to settings, developer options, make sure don't keep activities is unticked
[HTC One X] vinsta11:
Yeah ive fixed it, It seemed that one of the applications was causing htc sense to crash, which was advanced task killer :) Ive uninstalled it and it not shown me the loading screen yet :D
[HTC One X] jjedwards88:
I am also experiencing this problem. But I don't have an advanced task killer app, so that can't be causing me the problem. Also I have unticked that option in develeoper options. Any other thoughts? Or will I have to wait for an update from HTC?
[HTC One X] AliShaib:
Same problem but no solution yet!

Hello guys;

I unticked that option in develeoper options and have no app that should do problems and yet the loading keeps showing and it is very annoying, please some help here!

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deymayor:
Since most of the posts here relate to GSM Nexus, is there a forum for us CDMA owners? ive been searching for it and cant find one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
This is it. You're already here.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Huh? I wouldn't say a majority are related to the GSM Nexus...

Although some may think it'd help, it'd probably do more harm than good considering a LOT of the topics overlap between the 2, and model-specific threads are indicated in the title or 1st post. It keeps us from getting duplicate posts that would certainly crop up in separate General sections, and it gets more eyes on threads.

The Dev sections are separate, that's the only thing that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
Yep, this forum is for CDMA and GSM Nexii alike.

If you post a thread though, just be sure to clarify which Nexus you're referring to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
The only difference between the CDMA n GSM are

Different radios (CDMA has a LTE Radio), size, and one is exclusive to only one carrier (till sprint releases theirs )

Other than that its the same phone n 90% if the issues will be mutual

Hello. Is there any way to make flash workin' on sites where site writes "need newest flash player blah blah blah"? I mean, there are many websites where you must use Skyfire to see video, but in Skyfire there is worse quality and you can't scroll time (from 1:00 fastly go to 5:00). On ICS it works perfectly, but... I used 4.0 about 3 months and I actually don't want to re-change to it (I use 2.3.6 JVU GamerzRom "from Samsung").

So, is it possible? Thanks.

I am using it for long time, but more free MortPlayer.

But want to ask you, why many threads of english versions of TTpod were deleted? Saw four of them, all are currently non visible or accesible... Is it something illegal with translation in english, even if player is free ? :eek:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] samsizzle:
I used to always use 'on demand' on other phone. Does this have do with the unreleased tegra drivers? Do scaling profiles even make a difference with battery life impact?

Thank you for your time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
Tegra is unique in this aspect. The governor on our phones is in a sense 'hard coded' into the phone, its called DVFS Dual-core Voltage Frequency Scaling (im actually not sure if i made this name up or its the right one... :D)

either way, it can only be tweaked by a kernel dev, and we cannot use any other governors.

the way nvidia made the phone we are locked into this (and by default the settings they used) and also unfortunately for alot of us, it seems that nvidia preferred performance over battery life.

yes, on most phones governors can make a HUGE difference, in battery life, performance, and feel of the rom. but not for us :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
However you gotta give it to nvidia for making a very good chunk of code on that one cause it still works very well despite the nvidia nazi tendencies

Pin it to Win it.

Is won't work at all in camera mode, I don't no why it must just be mine. It hasn't worked with various roms. Should I re install the firmware? I don't really use it but its annoying to no it won't work, thanks
[HTC Sensation] Sgt.Incontro:
I don't have that issue, Skype with video calling works just fine for me. Maybe it is simply an unresolved bug on OP's ROM if he is rooted?
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
ICS Sense ROMS, specifically. I think AOSP ROMs don't have that problem.

OP, what do you mean by "not work"?
[HTC Sensation] cartermg120:
I mean not work as in neither using camera or Skype etc. I have used sense roms and aosp. Currently I'm using dan sharpys stripped rom. But like I say it won't work in any rom. When I select it in camera I don't get any errors etc I just get a black screen, I have made sure its clean. Any help would be great!
[HTC Sensation] cartermg120:
Actually now, if I switch to it, it causes my phone to reboot?
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
In that case it could be a hardware problem. I've read about a few people having this problem (black front camera screen on a few ROMs and the camera app freezing) but there seems to be no concrete solution for it.
[HTC Sensation] :
I'm having this problem too. Ever since I upgraded to ICS OTA my front camera has not worked in any application and usually causes the phone to freeze then reboot.

Glad I'm not the only one, just like worldofglass it happened when i upgraded to ics
[HTC Sensation] glavazg:
Hi, i am also having that problem. Yesterday I noticed that my front camera won't work at all. This morning was working just fine, but I was in my car when I tried it, so I just tried it once. Few hours later it won't work again. Once when I tried to turn it on, phone restarted (but just once)... I can se settings, effects and all other buttons on screen, but everything other on screen is black. I have official ICS, and sense 3.6.

Please if anyone solve this problem or find out it's nature (hardware or software) let us others know.

Thnx!

So it doesn't look like anyone's found a fix for this?

Like cartermg120, I've tried numerous ROMs (ARHD, LeeDroid, Elegance + CM 9 nightly) and re-flashed the firmware from HERE. Nothing has fixed it.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to flash the latest official RUU (HERE)?

I suppose that would be a good way to check whether it's a H/W or S/W problem and if H/W, the phone could be returned for a warranty repair...

[General Questions and Answers] cpharding:
Hi, reflashed my GS2 with the stock O2 ICS firmware as the non O2 one was giving me issues, as I was rooted, did a factory reset + clear cache, and all worked fine.

My friend saw me do this and asked if I could put his to the O2 ICS release as he was also on the stock ICS release, as we wanted to get it early ( we both are on O2 contracts)

Tried reflashing without a full factory reset, as he didn't want to loose data, and it failed. Now the phone says firmware issue but will still boot into download mode.

I've tried reflashing again and I can't get the phone back working, ODIN fails when flashing saying this

[Galaxy S II Accessories] tshoulihane:
I didn't find anything waterproof yet (at least with a headphone socket). I now have a jabra bluetooth headset and I can use that to pause/get status from my running app so I'm less bothered about just using a ziploc bag for waterproof. (the headset is supposed to be rain-proof, and costs less than a new screen for the phone)

The included jabra armband is rubbish - needs elastic to be able to stay on my arm, so a suggestion would be good.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nooner:
not exactly waterproof armband, but...

I bought an SGS2 specific neoprene armband (think it was the Belkin one) and if there's any chance of rain I first put my phone in one of those zippable/ziplock/sealable sandwich bags.

Makes it completely waterproof and the touch screen still works... although I don't know if I'd go for a swim with it...! Fine for running though.
