[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxodaraP:
Thank you for the information - I'm uninstalling KIES now - how do I just install the USB driver without installing KIES? I just tried reinstalling KIES again and had the same problem. Windows just fails to find any drivers and reports a failure to install the device. Which makes no sense because Samsung drivers are installed - Windows seems to be insistent on looking on Windows update, in preconfigured folders and then giving it a big red cross :(

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxodaraP:
Thank you for that - I'm about to try a full wipe and see if that does anything for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Also on your PC go to Computer/Properties/device manager. Connect your samsung phone via USB. uninstall the samsung driver.Unplug your usb then plug it back in.

reinstall the drivers.

I was having these issues on the official Rom so I flashed resurrection Remix v1.5 (ics 4.0.4) and problem solved... If you have charged only one cycle I recommend you try some more...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxodaraP:
Doing the full wipe did seem to solve the Android OS bug - until I unplugged it from the charger this morning and after 13 minutes I'm sitting on 88% battery :(CPU Total is 33m 19s and Keep awake is 12m 25s so once again kernel wakelocks are keeping it from deep sleep and draining the hell out of the battery.

I have just uninstalled ANY app on the phone that says "Able to prevent phone from sleeping" that I can uninstall in the hope that it's something simple.

Going by the fact I just did a reboot and already Android OS is using 83% battery - I don't think so.

The strange thing is that for about 2 weeks ICS was working perfectly - then with no warning at all it started draining the hell out of the battery with kernel wakelocks and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

Maybe I'll downgrade to GB and see if it helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Did you solve issue 2 so that issue 1 can be resolved. If you did then from recovery do a full wlpe, ie data/factory reset, delvik cache, battery stats. Then format system in mounts & storage. Install original gb firmware from Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxodaraP:
Hi all - thank you for the help thus far. I have an update:

I have downgraded the phone to my carrier's official 2.3.6

Neither issue is solved, Odin will see the phone if I boot it in download mode but Windows will not see it at all. I did a backup of all my data over Kies Air though and have done several wipes which were needed in order to downgrade to 2.3.6

The phone is still draining within 3-4 hours from a 100% reported charge. If I plug the phone into USB on the computer it reports as Charging (AC) which I found odd - since it used to say Charging (USB). I'm wondering if the battery is not getting a full charge since it's not being charged at full voltage but thinks it is?

I now have a new issue I didn't have when I previously ran 2.3.6 - the screen turns itself on and if I try to turn it off by pressing the power button it freezes, reboots and then repeats the same again.

I have done about 15 wipes so far, I've used 6 different MicroUSB cables and reflashed 2.3.6 7 times already - at this point I'm really over it since the phone is just unusable and I'm assuming there MUST be a hardware fault somewhere so I'm thinking I'll have to send it in for service and be without it for at least 2 weeks.

I'm rather frustrated by this whole thing because none of it makes sense. I've been told by the service guys to reflash right back to the branded 2.3.3 that shipped with the phone to see if that solves the problem and if not, to send it in.

If anyone else has any idea what I can do to fix this please let me know - it would be very much appreciated so I don't have to be without it for a minimum of 2 weeks :<

Phone is currently sitting next to me charging off USB - I just pressed the power adapter since again the screen was stuck on and it shut itself off. It now has the usual picture of the battery on the screen with the white dots moving underneath.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxodaraP:
Another update:

Just did yet another wipe and for some reason this time the CSC comes up instead of coming up as unknown, and initially Windows detected it when I plugged it in via USB - then promptly said the device was unplugged a second later.

Got it charging now, but so far haven't seen the screen turn on randomly so it could just be that the problem of battery usage is solved, by downgrading from ICS to GB :(

I still suspect the USB port may be faulty since it's still not working within Windows (it does say MTP Connected though) but it still says "Charging (AC)" in the Settings -> About menu.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
You need to try another PC or laptop. Also have you tried downgrading to 2.3.3.

Do a full wipe. If downloading the 2.3.3 firmware from Samfirmware, download the flash program too. Then try putting the recomended .pit file into odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxodaraP:
Edit: Scratch all that - I just downgraded completely to 100% stock original shipped 2.3.3 carrier branded bloatware firmware and it appears in Windows straight away without any issues. This is really quite annoying >_< but I guess I'm stuck on 2.3.3 for now since it works or risking the ICS upgrade to 4.0.3 again and just downgrading again if the poop hits the proverbial fan.

Thank you everyone for your help - I still suspect the USB port may be bad but at least it's working for now. Please feel free to close the thread mods.

Update: For those that are interested - I have now upgraded to ICS again and it's working perfectly. Which is really odd and makes no sense. But for those interested:

I was running 4.0.3 unbranded (OPS but with XEU CSC) XXLP8 - USB not working, battery draining in 4-5 hours, USB detects as AC for some reason

Downgraded to 2.3.6 Unbranded (XSA) - USB detecting on phone and saying connected, CSC coming up as unknown but format fixed this. Drivers not installing in Windows for Kies or MTP - suspected USB port

Downgraded to 2.3.3 Branded (OPS) - This was what shipped with my phone, USB started working with MTP, pops up in Windows no problem - CSC working

Upgraded to 4.0.3 unbranded (XSA) - Still working with MTP in Windows without issue. Battery drain seems to be solved as well but we'll see.

USB when plugged in is now detecting in settings -> about phone as Charging (USB) again as well.

I have no idea what the hell happened, I've done so many wipes the last few days and everything else it just all makes no sense (speaking of which I haven't done a wipe since I upgraded from 2.3.3 to 4.0.3... I should probably do that) and for whatever reason downgrading all the way back has solved it. Thank you again everyone for trying to help, I guess it's just one of those weird issues that noone can explain :/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artsie:
I really like ILWT cm7 rom, but the thing is I can't get gps to work in it. In all other roms gps works but not it this one. Before flashing rom I have used supervipeG2+4ext, and I have tried several radios with no luck... And I have also tried different settings in ILWT.txt file. + I have flashed and downloaded rom several times so I don't think that it is a bad file/flash. Any ideas how to get gps working?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The following AGPS patch gave me much faster GPS lock on ILWT. But I've never experienced no lock. It went from taking a minute or 2 to lock, to now getting GPS lock within seconds (sometimes less than 5 seconds). I flashed the "Google Specific" build.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472870

If you haven't seen the following thread, it may also be helpful. I can't vouch for it at all, as I haven't tried it. I know its been a known problem on CM7 build for some people, for as long as I can recall. But I've personally never had an issue on various CM7 and ILWT builds getting no GPS lock whatsoever.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028405

The issue has been discussed in various other threads, too. So just do a search. Have you searched the ILWT thread in particular?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artsie:
Ok I am going to try those later today or tomorrow... And yes I have tried to search, and found few posts with same issues, but didn't find solutions for the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artsie:
That worked, thank you

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Warm_ice:
Just bought one for my wife. So disappointing that it isn't true that it comes with ICS but still on GB. Store told us to go to Samsung to upgrade but not biting it.not 100% true again for sure.

Oh my, if I only knew it at first!

My wife still very happy though. Most important part of it. Lolz
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thehackersz:
Samsung now became more unreliable company. They just got too many phones and tablets model too maintain. They couldn't handle the demand, which is their fault!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
I think people are a bit too harsh... Samsung never said they'll release this pink Note with ICS onboard. That's what media said, and nobody knows where did that info originate from.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hdragom:
Well, why would the Pink Galaxy comes with ICS? If ICS would have been released I am sure someone would have uploaded for the white or black phone holders. Well color does not make a difference, and Samsung mightbe far behind there promises, but there are superb ICS ROMs in the dev zone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kikasa23:
Hahaha

why would the pink Galaxy Note will come with ICS when it's only a cosmetic changes :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nirak:
@Zamboney

LOL...that statement says so much more about you then about someone that buys a pink Note...LOL

O, and yes...i'm a woman with a white Note, but maybe i would have choosen pink if it had been available at that time...

haha, you just made my day.... :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duwjdgh:
cute but

It is cute but still GB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] happiboi:
The Samsung site had it listed as GB when it was announced anyways... those ICS rumors were quickly dispelled...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
Frankly I don't really understand why would you ever buy a Pink Note for hoping to get the stock ICS on it.

Samsung has never been good before in delivering their promise to date on Official ICS. Much more on their new smartphones that would have stock ICS though, (we'll it remains to be seen in *May 3, that is)

Other than aesthetics and cosmetics are concern, the Pink Notes are basically the same old comparison as the Whites and the Dark Blues.

My take? just wait for the Official ICS to be release, don't gripe. Be happy and enjoy what you just bought.

:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Warm_ice:
I admit i got fooled by the media :) I'm aware that it isn't an special edition one. Bought it just to please someone special to me. Tried to convince her to just wait for the s3 to be release very soon but she's the boss.what can I do?lolz
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] happiboi:
haha the boss gets what the boss wants... :D smart guys never disagree :p:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
I guess you're the one exception to the rule...

So you're really bothered by not having ICS then? If you're not, then my statement is still correct.

Fortunately, no. I can run it on my phone. About bugs - I mean many missing graphics, misplaced too, game sometimes can lag for a second or two, animals sometimes are spinning around very fast. And one funny thing - sometimes when you hit a sheep with a wooden sword, its head rapidly moves up and down (from normal position to the ground).

[Xperia Play General] Jordanooo:
Uses up battery like crazy

And picking up multiple numbers of the same item sometimes.goes in one slot

So instead of 10 mud blocks, you have 10 sets of 1 mud block

Quite annoying
[Xperia Play General] DanielEGVi:
YES! I have been waiting for crafting for a long time, and it's finally here... although not implemented like the PC version and way less blocks.

You know, there was this game called "Crafted" for iOS, a 2D minecraft rip-off complete with copied textures and sounds, it had been wandering around the App Store before the staff finally caught them and removed it. It was nice though, it resembled the PC version completely up to version Beta 1.7.3, just 2D in a Terraria-fashioned style. It even had a nice crafting system based on a one-item/stack toggling drag/drop system I'd really like to see implemented in Minecraft PE, but since it never caught Mojang's attention, only Apple's, I guess we'll have to wait for them to realize perhaps a better crafting system.

Android version alpha 0.3.1 (which is still called alpha 0.3.0 so you probably haven't noticed there's a new update) fixes the texture problems and other stuff.

Resource hunting is pretty difficult since there aren't cave formations yet, and we'll probably see them in an update next month or via modding, but hey, look what I've found :p :

Sorry for this title but i need help because my SK17i can't boot.

I had NerodroidV9 and this morning i can't receive sms and i flashed the official firmware by FlashTool.

But when FT is flashing system.sin it get me an error "ERROR:system.sin flash failed"

I had this problem and i resolved this with Wotanclient but now i can't use this because I haven't credits.

I can't buy credits because I have 17 years old and my father can't get me his money :(

PS: i can go into fastboot mode and flashmode!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Try to flash again, if fails, redownload the .ftf file.

Probably some bug happened during download.

Nothing!

I flashed all the original firmwares but nothing

Any solutions?

Solved with PC Companion and the functions "Repair"

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RollingStar:
So basically, my SII is dead. I took it out of my pocket yesterday and my randomly screen just wouldn't come on, so I popped the battery out and attempted to reboot. Nothing. :confused:

I've tried everything - different chargers, batteries & the works. I can't get into download or recovery mode, it's just dead. Although when I leave the battery in the phone for a little while it starts to get warm.

My question is, which would be the quickest/easiest way to get a repair/replacement, through my carrier (3) or through Samsung? And will the fact that I was running a custom ROM (CM9) stop either of the two from repairing/replacing my phone? I'm hoping that since it doesn't turn on, they won't be able to tell, but I doubt that.

Thanks,

Ash
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
take it to service center....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Depends on what arrangements your carrier has with Samsung & VV.

For example, within the first year, I'd give it to my carrier, they'd give me a loan phone & they'd forward it to Samsung/whomever is authorised to do Samsung repairs. When the job was done, I'd go to my carrier's local shopfront & pick the phone up/return the loan phone.

I'd call your carrier in the first instance & ask, making a phone call to find out one way or t'other isn't going to delay the amount of time you'll be without your phone while it's repaired/replaced ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
UK most Samsung repair are located at CPW stores .

Either or individually your warranty is void and its a matter of luck from now on .

Has anyone come across this before? Any reviews? Is this the Slim one?
[Captivate Accessories] Darkangels6sic6:
I have never heard of this, but it looks amazing! Thank you. I'm gonna ask the seller. Seeming that the description claims it to be a Lithium Polymer battery it is very likely that it is normal sized. In the past I searched around and never found a lithium polymer battery for the Galaxy phones. It would be really nice if all phones had high capacity lithium polymer batteries.

My question is that something for the 19000 battery wise is the same size as all other Galaxy 1 variants correct?
[Captivate Accessories] lordxentris:
Yes, you are right. After some more research @Wikipedia, LiPoly Batteries can have high capacity and can be used safely provided that you use the original chargers and not the cheap Chinese crap. BLE is not needed for them :). I might buy one soon, If i do, will update this thread. Wish me luck.
[Captivate Accessories] Darkangels6sic6:
Well then best of luck to both of us ;) I'm not sure why i couldn't remember at that moment, but any i9000 battery should fit the variants.
[Captivate Accessories] dvirs:
BTW guys, why buying from this seller when u have it on ebay.com a lot cheaper and with free delivery?

(I'm not allowed yet to post links so it's search for Item number: 280867655757 on ebay.com)
[Captivate Accessories] Darkangels6sic6:
Oh wow. Thanks a lot. Much cheaper. Now I have to test. Just search for i9000 or Galaxy S 2450mah or 2430mah and find the correct one. This looks legit
[Captivate Accessories] lordxentris:
Thanks Nice, Fine. :P +1

Yes, My current battery is a i9000 battery :P

Well ebay says he's got positive feedback so just keeping my fingers crossed. :)
[Captivate Accessories] sym86:
Hi !

Any feedback about this battery ?

Did you received it in time ?

Is it really better than the 1500 or 1800mAh ?

Thank you :)
[Captivate Accessories] davidgo:
To good to be true I think

I'd also love a battery which claims what this one does at this price, but It seems to good to be true. A bit of Googling shows a review for this battery with 2/2 "average" reviews which show it did not perform as promised (but it did work). There are also some other review sites which say pretty much the same thing. (I'd love to post the URL but can't because I'm a noob. A search for B005O8S4V0 on amazon.co.uk will find this.

Also, I think that if this technology was legit Samsung would have shipped it with the unit itself !!

Pity, I was really hoping it would work. I hate it that all the aftermarket batteries I have purchased sucked compared to the original.

DG
[Captivate Accessories] sym86:
Yep i've finally bought a 1800mAh PolaCell battery. It seemed more secured to me.

Maybe i'm wrong (I hope for those who bought it) but as you said the 2430mha chinese one is too cheap to be true.
[Captivate Accessories] lordxentris:
Lithium Ion is different to Lithium Polymer, the one on the link is a Lithium Polymer

More Details here

http://jartiuch.wordpress.com/2007/11/01/nimh-or-li-ion-or-li-polymer-what-to-consider%E2%80%A6/

Basically, Lithium Polymer batteries can have the same size but higher capacity, so there is a good chance that the battery is real.

But again I haven't still bought it cause I am running on a tight budget, but I am planning to buy one when I am selling my phone so that I can buy an Galaxy S3. :P
[Captivate Accessories] CuriousTech:
That doesn't look like it could be a Li-Ion Polymer cell due to the rounded edge. Only a square edge or foil pack would mean it's a true prismatic cell which is the casing for Li-Ion Poly cells.

The 3.7V vs 3.6V already shows that most of these are using a technology better than just standard Li-Ion, so it wouldn't really be much of an improvement.

Different manufacturer use different materials for anode, cathode, and electrolyte and these Chinese companies use the cheapest ones. So you're either getting what you pay for or getting ripped off depending on how you look at the false advertising.
[Captivate Accessories] JigsterNL:
I heard this battery(same label/producer on other handsets) is very bad.
[Captivate Accessories] CuriousTech:
I think I grabbed the wrong one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/28086765575...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3124wt_1163

It does look the same, but 2450. Interestingly it is made in Japan, not China. Here's the weight, plus the OEMs that I have for comparison:

32.3g OEM Captivate 1500mAh

34.3g Japan "Gold" 2450mAh

36.65g OEM Epic 1800mAh

So I was expecting it to come out around 1650mAh, but it gave me 1910 the first time. I'll use it for a few weeks and run another test. Not really sure what to expect though.

Edit: This battery is crap. 2nd run at 200mAh it failed at 4 hours, about 850mAh drained. Now it's hovering just over 3.5v, right over where the phone would shut down. Trying to get the rest out so I can cycle it again, but I think it will be getting a funeral tomorrow.
[Captivate Accessories] sinizter:
Been running the "2430mAh battery" for about a week now with Battery Monitor Widget. Estimated rating is ~1300 mAh. Not great, but still gets me through the day with light-moderate usage.

For $10 it was worth a shot. At least the battery isn't COMPLETE garbage. :S
