[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desean:
My phone have 2 very weird issues since returning from the Service Center. 2 weeks back after changing my kernel to SiyahKernel 3.1rc5, I noticed my wifi no longer works (it was not be able to find any AP and will keep searching then automatically switch off). I reflash the phone back to stock GB ROM and stock kernel everything and confirm the wifi hardware is somehow damaged. I sent the phone to the Service Center and they have the motherboard replaced. Wifi works after that.

First thing I got home is to nandroid restore my phone prior to servicing. Wifi works now but I could not make any calls, sms or use mobile internet. I then realised the phone did not request for me to enter my SIM card PIN (I have always enabled this) when booting up. Once I disable the SIM card PIN, my calls, sms and mobile internet works! Funny thing is this problem only affect Samsung ICS ROMs (any firmware as I have tested many in the past 2 weeks), but the same SIM card lock function works fine with CM9 or Samsung GB ROMs. Just for the record, I tested this on pure stock Samsung ICS ROMs (no custom ROMs or kernels).

Another issue is the Power menu is missing (the menu that appears giving options to reboot or power off, and no I am not talking about the APM in custom ROMs). Now when the phone is not in standby, holding the power button will send the phone to shutdown immediately instead of presenting the usual power menu. Again, this only happens with a Samsung ICS ROM and not with CM9 or Samsung GB ROM.

I am not sure how the new motherboard could have caused all these software issues but I am fairly certain it is a hardware issue so I need some confirmation or possible fix if it is software related. I was thinking of sending my phone back to the service center but my problem is that these issues only affects Samsung ICS ROMs but ICS isn't official release in my country yet (yes I know it has been ages since the first official ICS ROM for the international SGS2 was released), so I can't really show these problems to the service center with ICS on my SG2.

I have captured the logcat of my phone with the above 2 issues with the following action sequence performed on the phone: Phone boots, Call (to 1633), test SMS, remove SIM card lock, Call (to 1633), Hold power button.

Any expert review on my issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Edit: problem solved without need for logcat, thus removed

This was the solution! Thanks a million!!!

It had not occurred to me that the problem was with the /efs folder as the CM9 & GB ROMs didn't show the symptoms.

Thanks once again.

With so few infos, it will be hard to help you..

Do a data/factory reset, that will solve your problems, type *2767*3855# in the phone dialpad. Backup foto`s , files and stuff before that

Hi there,

If you go to Settings -> Battery - what does it list as using the most battery power?

Edit: You can downgrade to GB if a full factory format/reset doesn't work - you may be another unfortunate recipient of the Android OS wakelock bug.

Start off by uninstalling pointless stuff, then search for BetterBatteryStats.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl!GhT:
Skip everything.

ICS sucks on battery life if you are using the stock ICS ROM.

I suggest you revert back to Ginger Bread or Get a new ROM developed by the Xda chefs in the android development section according to your preference.

THis will atleast extend your battery by 20% of the existing performance.

But if you prefer to stick on with ICS, then i suggest you upgade your battery to a higher capacity.

i.e 1900 mAh.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashzoomerintrack:
Switch to Cyanogenmod 9 nightly. You can underclock processor to 1000mhz. Battery works great then. Getting almost 1.5 days with moderate use. That's sufficient I guess. Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihir23:
I'm having this problem too :( and im using (rooted) stock rom. Its really annoying how i used to get 2 days before update and now i barely get 24 hours. Android system drains 38% of my battery for some reason in ICS, i have no idea why.

@Mzhaze3

My battery was suffering,not really bad but bad enough to notice it was worse than gb. I have since factory reset my phone (before i upgraded to ics without wiping data etc) and i have noticed major improvements! I am using the 1900 mh battery which helps as well. To sum up a factory reset helped me!

Nice pic btw! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mzhaze3:
Well one things for sure the factory reset has made a huge difference. I used to use juice defender and battery still didn't last longer than 12 hours and that's on GB than once i updated to ICS battery only lasted 4 to 6 hours depending on use. Since the reset i have had a whopping 24 hours with moderate use. So i defo recommend it. Thank you gee and thanks everyone for your input x
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabb2000:
I have major battery problems since ICS update also, (network free, unbranded sgs2) ...... am i right in thinking a simple factory reset could make my battery last three times longer.

How much screen time are you using? If you use all day, yes it will drain very fast, especially 3G/4G Data.

For me, I get at max of 3 hours of screen time, and amazing Deep Sleep when the screen is turned off. I am using HydrogenICS, with Thoravukk kernel.

If you're thinking of getting an extra battery, look up on Amazon or Ebay. Anker i9100 Battery. Good quality stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamungGalaxyS2:
So everyone who's been experiencing battery issues should factory reset?

What will the factory reset to since I have a custom ROM installed?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] warpkari:
Hi, anyone can tell me how the dialer + in-call screen and everything can be replaced with the one in the stock ICS? I tried exDialer... it's a good replacement for the samsung dialer & contacts, but when you make or receive a call the old touchwiz stuff comes up.

Is there a way to flash the stock voice dialler using CWM ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tftd:
I'm not quite sure what's the question here.

What rom are you using? Is it the dialer that you want to replace with the default one or you want to reset your phone to the state when you bought it?

Usually the default dialer should still be there. You need to uninstall the new dialers you've installed and everything should get back to normal.

Another way is to flush your phone with the same rom version. This will reset your phone to the stock default and will probably delete all of the data stored on the phone...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] warpkari:
Hi thanks for your reply.

I am running a CF-Rooted stock Samsung kernel (XWLP7). What I would like to do is replace the default (touchwiz styled) incoming call and outgoing call screen with something similar to the stock ICS one.

I installed some dialers from the market but they only replace the keypad screen, contacts screen, etc.

It would be great if a mod can be installed from a zip using Clockwork recovery. (I successfully installed a mod that replaced the status and notification bar with one themed like the stock ICS).

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
If you mean you want to replace the TW phone app with the blue phone app from ICS roms . Just replace phone apk located in system/apps and reboot .

Requires root and root explorer or similar or if custom rom just open the zip .

jje
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] warpkari:
Cool thanks. Where can I find a standalone phone apk taken from an ICS rom?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
You extract one from stock or a custom rom or use Google search .

Found on my PC what should be stock ICS phone and contacts .

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] method77:
I am pretty sure you can't do it that way
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
pretty sure ???

Of course you can extract an apk from a rom custom or stock .

jje
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] method77:
I meant that by replacing the apk will not do what the op asked
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] warpkari:
Indeed. I tried it and it didn't work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vialou:
I’m also interested in a way to install the stock ICS dialer instead of the Samsung one...

Just like warpkari I tried to replace "phone.apk" before installing my rom and I didn’t work...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
You can certainly achieve this by changing the phone.apk in the custom rom zip then flashing the rom .

jje
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] method77:
have you tried this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
Yes that's why the custom rom i am using does not have the phone that the dev supplied .The ICS blue phone is replaced with the stock old fashioned same as GB phone . Likewise the Contacts .

jje
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Kronkels:
I tried this to ended up whit no cotacts at all or whit app not installed message

So not working for me :confused:

Tried this several times on several roms never worked :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
All i can say is that on four ICS custom roms its worked .

You just replaced the phone.apk and it worked? I am using wanamlite

[Android Software Development] hyelton:
Im trying to upload a app to the market and when signing my APK`s im using signapk and I CANT do it. It says

Google Play does not accept apks signed with certificates issued by Android team. Create a new certificate that is valid for at least 50 years.

But I`m able to upload it without signing it, But then it DOESNT work it wont install.

Im able to sign it and get it to install on my phone but market place wont take it!

Can anyone Create me a key.pk8 and a certificite.pem? Cause I cant ive tried the past 5 hours. The only thing ive been able to do is make some keyfile using cmd. Can someone atleast create me one or PM me to create me one? using the Name Hunter under it.

Ive tried all guides with no luck
[Android Software Development] inportb:
You should really make your own... instead of trusting strangers to handle your private key. I make my keystores using keytool, and sign using the Ant-based build process.

Incidentally: did you change the name of your package? I believe the Play store does not accept conflicting keys for the same package, for security reasons. Or maybe you need to remove the app completely and start over.

[Android Software Development] hyelton:
Nope. Already read. Goes right over my head
[Android Software Development] regaw_leinad:
Weel you said you already made your key w/ the keytool, so follow steps 3 & 4 EXACTLY. The JarSigner is part of the Java JDK, so you should already have that.

[Android Software Development] hyelton:
can someone just make me one?

I`m about to give up. I was gonna use eclipse but NO couldn't down the add on had to do it manually. And now I gotta update a few other things which I cant cause the location im at is painfully slow at the moment
[Android Software Development] regaw_leinad:
Well, it's your private key, and you don't want anyone else to get a hold of it, because if they do, they can release applications under your id. Without releasing that key to someone, there is no other way to have someone sign your apk with your private key.
[Android Software Development] hyelton:
I know this. Thats why I would want to see if someone would make me one and Just PM me.

How can you guys know enough to develop an app, but can't figure out how to sign it??

Like he's trying to tell you oh, it would be like giving somebody your credit card number and CCV code. The purpose of a private key is just that, it's private.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the G2X, but not flashing and Android.

When I had a Droid2 I remember when I flashed to gingerbread I had to SBF back to froyo to flash another froyo rom. Do I need to bring the G2X back to stock to flash say CM7 or can I just wipe and flash from ICS to CM7?

Thanks in advance!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
Yes you can switch from ICS	to GB no problem :p make sure the kernel you will use (if you change the default kernel from the rom you're about to install) is appropriate for the Android version

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EFOuellet:
Here is what I stand.

I have soft bricked my TF201 and I am trying to restore it using ADB per the recovery thread.

I am stuck in CWM recovery boot loop.

When I entered bootloop USB Debugging was not enabled and I dont have a computer that had/has the TF201 drivers previously installed.

Computer system is Windows Vista.

When the USB plugs into the computer it is recognized as "Transformer".

I have downloaded the drivers from the Asus site, from ADB repositories, and from other sites proportedly hosting drivers that work. None of those drivers have worked when attempting to manually install them (Device Manager > Update Driver Software).

How can I install drivers to get ADB to recognize my device if I cannot enable USB Debugging?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dom2215:
First i would install the recovery using fastboot again. Download drivers (link) and install it, download new cwm touch recovery (link), Restart your prime by holding the volume down button, wait, then press down to switch to the usb symbol, then press volume up. Now you are in fastboot mode. Enter the following command at the terminal or command prompt window : fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery (path to cwm recovery img)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EFOuellet:
Thanks, Ive got USB working and was able to flash to CWM Touch Recovery.

Any suggestions on how to push a ROM so I can install it? (I dont have one on the internal SDCARD any longer)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Semi-noob question?

Can I apply themes to SPH-D710.FD24_CL451301_Root OTA update?

Overstew's ICS 4 ICS would be a great theme if possible. Was running theme while on Stock_rooted_FC15 ROM and it gave my phone a more ICS look with blue clock and icons in the notification bar. Cant deal with that green stuff all over new update, my prediction was right about an icsed gingerbread look for the Epic after the semi-official update to ICS. The blue themeing makes for a more pieasing look and its easier on the eyes against dark backgrounds.

Any input will be thanked.

Samsung is looking out for the normal people. UI is a major reason people buy one phone over another, so they can't just go changing it too much after the sale.

To answer your question, if you have a deodexed ROM and a custom recovery, you can install themes. I an pretty sure sfhub's ROM is not deodexed, so you should be having issues.

Just make sure the theme is listed as compatible with your rom. There is a theme in one of the fd24 thread made for fd24. Can't remember where but I think the poster was named jase33.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
I had a suspicion that sfhub was odexed, I usually run Calks Roms where you have for odexed or deodexed, I guess at this stage we need to wait for a ota and then root.
