[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .OmEgA:
Its a good place to start. Plus it wouldn't hurt at all flashing a better kernel than stock. If that doesn't take care of it, only other thing I can think of is returning it to completely stock (unroot and all) and see if the problem still persists. Then you know it could be some sort of hardware issue some how. But for now just make a nandroid of your current set up, find a kernel you want to run, clear cache and dalvik cache then flash your kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmdz:
Thanks. Where can I get these Kernels for Nexus S ICS?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .OmEgA:
If you have a GSM Nexus visit the Nexus S development forum. If you have the 4g variant, visit the Nexus S 4g development forum. You'll want to look for topics with [kernel] in the thread title. Matr1x and Air Kernel are few of the popular ones.

Clean your micro USB port with a tooth brush(dry) and some compressed air...had this same issue u can flash all u want but I bets its the dirty slut usb
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmdz:
Dirty USB port was the cause of this and the crazy reboots.

Exactly! this was the issue. I used some tissue and electronic board cleaning spray to dampen the tissue. Also, I raised the lower edge of the ubs port towards its top a little. After plugging in the charger and playing a little the Crazy charging indicator went away. No Reboots so far! :D

But why would this happen? I read somewhere that Galaxy Nexus is also infamous for this hardware bug. Is this normal? (My phone is 8 months old)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1337:
i think there may be a ics bug that the charge indicator is wonky, i have been to lazy to roll back to gb to see, it charges just doesn't always show on the battery icon but in stats it is charging
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmdz:
Cleaning it worked till last night I again turned the phone off the fully charged it using the wall charger (I am using a Nokia Charger with the same specification of the Stock charger).

Turning the phone on today, it started rebooting again. Now in 5 minute cycles while in sleep mode.

I plugged in the USB connector of the computer and plugged it out. The charging indicator went crazy again!

I really doubt I could count on this phone as a "phone" any more. This is so bad.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskovski:
Same here, completely disassemble it and a little bit of cleaning and rising the pins.

So far (4h from now) no problems.

But im expecting it again, since the problem is hardware related, and all day im charging and using usb ...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lamboboy732:
Simple question just because I'm curious. How often do you actually use that Google search button in the top left of the launcher. Vote in the poll above.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Your quite possibly the only person who has kept the screen layout as it came .....

most people use a different launcher, and if not, im sure they customise their screens.

Personally ... i never use the google search thing ... on a browser though i use it all day long.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
And there you have it.

Not only does my Launcher not have it, if it did have it I'd delete it to make room for something else.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foxmeister:
I doubt it! The vast majority of Prime owners will have never heard of XDA, will never root their devices, and have no idea that other launchers even exist! ;)

We are the exceptions, not the rule!

P.S. With specific respect to the Prime, I do use the default launcher, and the Google search widget!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lamboboy732:
I also never use it, I have actually been playing around with the GO Launcher for Tablet, but it bothers me that it has no tap to switch screens thing. What launcher would you recommend? Also I have customized my screen, why would I leave it as it came from the factory?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiM2Fast:
Hello, everyone!

I am new to Android and to this forum, so someone please give me a step-by-step solution to the following issue:

I have a Goclever i102 netbook (it's basically a tablet with a keyboard). It runs on Android 2.3.3, kernel 2.6.35.8, build GRI40. The problem with it is that when I try running some apps (including the media player and the file explorer - "My Pad"), they just turn on for a second (enough to see the title bar) and then instantly turn off. I also tried resetting to factory settings, but that didn't solve the problem.

I would try anything (even upgrading OS if necesary).

Please someone tell me how to solve this issue by myself...

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decayer177:
Did you try looking in Settings->Applications for a compatibility mode option for specific apps?

Sent from my E3D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiM2Fast:
There's no "compatibility settings" anywhere in the applications settings... Anyway, as I said, I did a factory reset... so there are no user applications installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decayer177:
Open the application's settings (Settings->Applications->Manage) and clear the data.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiM2Fast:
Done that... Nothing changes :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Did they work earlier perhaps they are just I some way incompatible with your tablet.If you give me a logcat from the point of opening the app to the point of it disappearing I may be able to help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiM2Fast:
I just bought it three days ago from someone else and he said he didn't notice anything unusual but I'm not sure that he did use those apps or that maybe he was the one who broke them...

About incompatibility... that makes no sense because they come preinstalled with the netbook... For the moment I tried installing other apps that do the same stuff and they work, but I would still like to find a solution to this problem.

Oh... and about that logcat... how do I find it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Very well then, give me a logcat and I will see if I can find anything
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiM2Fast:
...sorry... I did the edit after that... "Oh... and about that logcat... how do I find it?"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Logcat is a system activity log .To get it you need a android sdk and adb.Connect your phone with debugging. Run ddms and then under device click logcat and save it to a file during the time I. described above

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1-0-1:
Seeing how easy it was to root my Samsung S2 with Gingerbread I tried it as well after the ICS update through Kies but after the process my phone just stays at the loading screen with the yellow triangle. I tried re-doing the steps and also tried a factory reset in recovery mode, cleared cache but it does not want to boot up. I then noticed I never looked at my firmware version and now I am unable to get this information as the phone does not start up.

Where do i start to get my phone working again. Below is all the details I could get from my phone:

Samsung GT-I9100

Serial Number: 355310040993713

I noticed when my phone was rooted with Gingerbread and I did the upgrade through KIES to ICS it removed my root access - is there a similiar way if one is not able to boot up the OS? Also recovery mode and download mode all work so I assume I do not have a brick?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
No you don't have a brick.

1: flash the stock kernel if you know what ROM version you had using Odin.

2: flash again using Odin.

Also do the code wipe after flashing. And start from scratch.

Do not restore GB backups and use correct CF-Root to get root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1-0-1:
Thanks for the quick reply - but that is the problem. I have no idea what my kernel version is as I did not take it down before doing the rooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Well that was foolhardy.

How did you try to root after you updated to ICS then? Sounds like you tried to root by flashing a kernel; how did you know what kernel to use if you didn't know what your original kernel was?

You may need to flash a full stock firmware. That will include a stock kernel too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
well in that case flash a stock latest ICS using odin

after first boot dial *2767*3855#

it will wipe your phone but will fix the problems that may come later.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1-0-1:
Ah okay - so I can use the "[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII" (sorry cannot post links yet) on the xdadevelopers forum?

Would this also mean I am still able to use my phone with Samsung Kies or when does Samsung Kies normally stop working?

EDIT: I also stumpled across the "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KL1/2/3/LA2,4/LB2,LPE/Q/7/2/F/S/4/7 Download" thread. Would it be safe in my case to grab one of the official firmware that matches my region or is this to risky?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1-0-1:
Yeah I was indeed foolhardy - I used XXKPA ICS Android 4.0.3 Firmware. I just finished downloading the main files as per the "[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII" guide. This should cover the full stock firmware and stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Both recovery packages for GB and ICS both look like full firmwares. So yes, they will also include the kernel.

Just follow the guide.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1-0-1:
Okay - the "[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII" fixed my issue but now Samsung KIES gives me a "Your device does not support software upgrading through KIES".

Is there something else I can do or should I start looking at the "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KL1/2/3/LA2,4/LB2,LPE/Q/7/2/F/S/4/7 Download" and can I just use the region closest or supported by mine?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Kies will only update if you currently have a firmware/CSC combination that matches your region, and your region is officially supported. That is not likely now that you followed that "fix an unflashable or soft bricked" guide. Also, if you are in a non-supported region, Kies won't work for updates either. For example, I am an I9100 user in the USA, where it was never officially released, so Kies doesn't work for me for updates.

But now that you've followed that guide, you are familiar with flashing your phone yourself, and can use the Official i9100 Firmware thread to download and flash whatever version you want. No need to rely on Kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1-0-1:
Excellent - this is becoming very interesting. My region was supported (Namibia) but I bought it in Germany. I see the latest release date firmware actually includes a German version. Those the region actually change the language of the phone as well?

I was thinking of using this one. What is the deal with the stock kernel file - do I need that as I thought the firmware is all that is needed

Is there a way to grab the firmware of another Samsung S2 (girlfriend has one as well) and use it to flash mine?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You can choose any language that is included in the firmware after you flash it. Most, if not all, will include English and German.

The stock kernel is linked in case you need it. It is also included in the full firmware package. But if you root with an insecure kernel, or flash a different kernel that auto-roots, and for whatever reason want to flash back a stock kernel, it is there for you.

I think there is, but I don't know what the method is, as I've never had to do this, and have not been curious enough about it to research it for myself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
You don't have to grab any thing! Just see what very she has and you will find it in Sammobile or Intratech's thread or general forum.

[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Alright, this will be a thread where I'll be uploading custom icons that I make. I don't have many done at all right now (8 of each style), but I plan on making tons more. I'm just going to make them per request and when I feel like making new ones. So, if you have any that you would like to see as chrome, black chrome, red and white, or ics and white, just let me know and I'll include them. I'll make an update to this thread about once a week with new additions. So post requests in the thread and I'll get started. Right now I just have chrome and black chrome.

THESE ARE NOT FLASHABLE. Just download the zip, unzip, and place on your sd card to replace icons on your screen.

Oh, and as always, these are free for you to use. Some of these I'm making from scratch, some of them are just altered versions of stock icons. If you use these anywhere else besides private use on your own phone, I just ask for credit and possibly a link back to this thread. :D

2. Place on external sd card (I use a folder called icons)

3. Use QuickPic if you're having trouble seeing the icons even after a reboot.

4. Download Desktop Visualizer from the market.

5. Install shortcut on homescreen and select Desktop Visualizer.

6. Select your icon, then the action.

7. Make sure you click on encode.

8. Place on the dock.

For all other launchers, you can do the same or simply edit the icon on the screen.

[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Lol it's all good. You just need to put them on your sd card wherever you want them. I actually have a folder on the root of my sdcard called icons where I put all these. Your gallery should be smart enough to find any file extensions that should be there like .png, .jpg, .mp4, stuff like that. So, just download, unzip, then put them on your sdcard. If it doesn't work, you might need to reboot your phone or use something like Quickpic from the market.

Never mind about my previous post. I used the advice given on page one and downloaded quickpic from the market. Icons look great. Only thing I see, and this may be an OCD thing, some of the icons don't match the others in reference to size. Look at the three icons on the right of my dock. There's kind of a medium, large, small. Other than that they look great.

Sent with a Rezounding HELL YEA!
[HTC Rezound] Comicazy:
Kinda the same thing here too. The internet is large, whereas the rest are a smaller or medium size.

Sent with a Rezounding HELL YEA!
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I honestly couldn't tell you how to change on ADW since I haven't used it in forever. However, if you have the option to select from your gallery, they should be there if you put them on your external sd card. You might need to reboot a couple of times to get the new pics to show up. You can also use a gallery like QuickPic from the market since it's much better at scanning for new photos. If you don't have the option to replace from the gallery, you can do the same thing that you would do in Rosie, I would assume. Just download Desktop visualizer, select create shortcut, select the image, then the action, then click on encode. You should then be able to put them in the dock, I would assume. Also, I have some new red and black ones coming. Not a huge fan of those that I made since the red and black chrome just clash a little. I have some red and black ones I'm working on that I reeeeally like and will post them later :D

Thank you :D

EDIT:

To be honest, I did all of these rather hastily. The next update for all of them will ensure that they're all the same size. I'll figure out exactly the size they should be and then adjust them. I would say that I hope to have that update out to resize all of them and add some new ones within the next 3-4 days or so, so just keep an eye on it. (And yeah, that would bug the hell out of me, too. I just hadn't used these yet, so I didn't pay enough attention to the size of them.)
