[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusnoki:
My Galaxy S II started to act really strangely to the point where it absolutely isn't usable anymore... I'm wondering if any1 is having the same issues as I am...

Here are the problems:

It all started with The SOD issue i explained in the thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238478

Now it seems to go into SOD all the time... even when not in Deep Sleep...

The Phone freezes up when i do anything on it, and heat starts emanating from the top left corner of the screen (think it's the CPU) cause it was also overheating when SOD happened while on Deep Sleep...

I tried installing VillainRom (gingerbread) Stock KI4 Rom, Stock LP8 (ICS), Insanity Rom, CM7, CM9, MIUI... no use... it happens when i start the phone also when I installed a new rom... Don't know if the battery could be the problem... cause when i take out the battery and leave it to Cool Down a bit and start it up again it works for a while then starts acting up again...

Recently i replaced the Flex Cable with the microUSB port and Microphone located on it cause it got a bit water damage but nothing was damaged apart from that... and everything worked fine... now a couple of weeks ago this started to the point where I can't use my phone anymore... I tried downclocking the CPU so it wouldn't overheat so much but still no help...

I'm Desperate... don't have a warranty and I don't even know how much i can sell my phone in this condition... Any help would be gladly appreciated...

Thank You all in advance...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Sounds like a hardware issue.

Have you already done the following?

Flash a stock ROM, such as XWLP7 or XWLP8.

Boot into recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset.

Fully charge the battery, unplug the phone and shut it down.

Then pull out the battery for about 2 minutes.

Put the battery in and boot the phone normally.

Good luck !

Tried what u asked and still nothing... happening even on loading screen... dunno really gonna send it to the service today and see what happens...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusnoki:
Turns out that the mainboard is damaged... it's being replaced now in a Samsung Service Center and it will cost me 70 euro which is not that expensive...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
yup replace the mother board....good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Tried so much, do one more time using cwm format system partition and data, flash the GB ROM using Odin. Do not restore anything, if still got issues its hardware
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zemariaabreusantos:
heat is normal

Does the overheating occur constantly? or when browsing gaming andother cpu/gpu demanding operations?

When your gamging and browsing and sometimes watching videos it's normal that the phone get's relly hot. The plastic material are very heat absorving and will become hot even the screen get's hot mos of the times. The heat ist also due to the thickness of the device.. it's very slim and there isn't much space for the heat to disperse therefore it is absorved by the plastic cover and by the cpu.

Read the whole post and send it to samsung warranty or not. I do not advise you to change the motherboard alone unless you are an engineer and very good with small circut boards. I tried it myself and it didn't end well

[HTC One X] klarmacker:
Hi

I Installed the sensation rom. But i allways have some wifi issue so i go back to stock. wiped everything included chache dalvic...

After i installed the custom rom i get an update OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7-1.28.401.9_release_259295wbmgoi0p47wgsfl6.zip

I tried to install but get an error status 7

I renamed it to update.zip and tried to install.

this didnt work

i download this file manual from a thread here. but this dindt work

what can i do to get the last update?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You need stock recovery.
[HTC One X] klarmacker:
I tried

i flashed the stock Rom. there comes the Update which i cant install
[HTC One X] klarmacker:
ok i get it i flashed the old boot.img and everythink worked fine...

i extracted it from the old custom rom...
[HTC One X] Neutrino22:
Could you explain how you fixed this? I have exactly the same error: update failed due to error AppSharing.apk - status 7.

It seems OTA is verifying current applications for discrepancies - problem is I have stock recovery and stock ROM which I installed using this RUU from ShippedRoms with verified MD5 > RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed

I'm confused as OTA is perhaps informing itself that AppSharing.apk has been modified... but from a clean install??
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Errrr... something is wrong here.
[HTC One X] Neutrino22:
Lol... I'm in marvel at your attention to detail!

Since you're a senior member, could I call upon your wealth of knowledge which you may dispense here, in this very thread?

Warm regards
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The One X is Endeavor, not Pyramid.
[HTC One X] Neutrino22:
Oh, how could I have missed that! I'm in the wrong forum! Many thanks for highlighting my stupidity (which appears to be boundless!)

Warms regards.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I guess the problem is still the same, but the solution and diagnostics might differ.

I would say you need to check your recovery and boot.img are stock, you are locked, and that you are not installing an RUU with a bootloader older than the currently installed one. But I know nothing of Pyramid.
[HTC One X] Neutrino22:
It's all working now. Manage to obtain RUU. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
Hey folks,

I ordered a Diztronic v.3 case for my Galaxy Nexus a few months ago and I am really enjoying the case. No issues with the case. As you may know Diztronic bundles a screen protector with the case (thanks Diztronic) and since I didn't have one I used it. I followed the advice here on how to apply it (hot steamy bathroom tip) and it came out flawless. I was really surprised at how great the screen protector felt and looked.

However, just today I noticed that the screen protector has gotten a really really bad noticeable rainbow/orange peel pretty much over night as it wasn't like this yesterday. It wasn't like that before and was wondering why the screen protector would suddenly get like this. For a free screen protector I think it was great for how long it lasted but for future reference I would like to know if maybe something I did that would make it suddenly look like that.

If it matters I regularly wipe and clean my screen with a micro fiber cloth. I take off the case and clean the whole phone once a week. I currently live in HCMC so it's really muggy here (humidity).

So now I'm on the look out for a new screen protector. Any recommendations in the under $10 price range? Does the Androidified cases come with a screen protector? Anyone know of a shop in HCMC that sells cases or screen protectors for the GNex at reasonable prices?

Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atkhobby:
Orange peel is generally reserved for wet apply protectors. If it really changed over night there must have been something external like light moisture or heat that caused it.

You can try to re-apply it. Use some sticky tape to lift it off. You may also need to rinse it under the tap an fling of exess water an let it dry before re-application.

BTW I got the diztronic too and I love it but I have not tried the protector that came with it. Got a SPG neo hybrid on order but is will have to be very good to replace the diztronic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
I like just buying the $1.50 ones from eBay that comes in like a pack of 6...

Cheap, easy to apply, and doesn't affect the beauty of the screen. And no orange peel. And this thing never scratches surprisingly. And feels like the actual glass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianisme:
The SGP line have been the best dry apply screen protectors I've ever used for not just the Nexus but every smartphone I've owned. They're a a little bit over your asking price but worth the extra cost imo. Great protection, doesn't affect touch sensitivity, no colour or image distortion, and smudges wipe off easily.

You can't really tell it's on there unless I told you about it. I've had mine since January and use the Diztronic rev 2.

HERE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I browsed amazon for an hour trying to see if I can find something. Think I might get the SGP Ultra Oleophobic (sp?).

Hmmm, I was at a restaurant earlier that day and I did notice my phone had some extra gunk on it since I was using it while eating. I normally don't use my phone while I eat. Maybe that's why suddenly it looks like crap? The oils, or something from the food? I really want to try to figure out exactly why it got like this in a course of a few hours.

Maybe it was the bills I had in my pocket along with my phone? I went to the bank also that morning and took out a few million. Vietnamese money is very plastic-y. I put the money in my pocket along with my phone screen against the plastic money. Sounds crazy I know.

I dunno what it could have been. But I'm going to try your recommendation and try to clean the protector with some kind of solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
OK, this is really weird now. The screen protector no longer has that rainbow look to it anymore. :confused: I'm guessing it was like the above poster said and it was a temperature change? :confused: It was really hot yesterday. I went into a coffee shop that was air conditioned and that's about when I noticed it.

Oh well... now at least I managed to save a few bucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
My guess is the oil and grease on the screen, which when wiped can show that rainbow effect.

I can also second the SGP oleophobic. Better than other dry protector in dealing with oil and grease.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hell_lock:
First of all I would like to say that I am not a noob and I know most of the techical stuff. So here is my problem, I installed Hybrid v4 few days back and after 2-3 days I flashed the stock rom(DDLC2) through odin. Now I see that my status bar still has some traces of Hybrid left. So how should I flash a fresh new copy of stock rom on my phone??
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
have you clean your dalvik-cache?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hell_lock:
nope
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
Clear dalvik and data..for a very fresh and clean install:D

my routine when i install a fresh rom or flash is always clear dalvik and clear partition..
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
some of our previous rom parts is stored inside dalvik cache. you can clean all your dalvik cache or delete only systemUI's dex file. first option is better since it will delete all dex file of uninstalled app.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
Here I'm introducing a small library project that allows developers of root apps to toggle USB debug settings easily. Enabling/disabling the USB debug settings properly is only possible for system apps, and since not everyone wants to have his app installed in the system partition it's probably more reasonable if you just can call on another app to do the job...

What? Why?

Usually you have the USB debug settings enabled when you are developing on your phone, or otherwise love to play around with Custom ROMs, and well... use other root apps that are only working if this setting is enabled.

The USB debug settings are rather dangerous when enabled as everyone can access your phone no matter if you have locked it or not. That's why I have developed ADB Toggle.

In the free version you can toggle the settings from a home screen widget. But third party apps are also able to use ADB Toggle and enable/disable as they need.

In the paid version there's also an automatic mode that enables USB debug settings if you have your phone unlocked and connect it to your PC, and turns it off when you leave.

Check out ADB Toggle from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramdroid.adbtoggle

The developer library

I'm already using the library in my other project App Quarantine. However I'd love to see it implemented in more root apps!

Here's the Github page for full details:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] geri268:
removed...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] droidface:
1. for base? mebitek's or stock

2. whatever you want, don't forget basic app like music player and file manager

3. tweaked, has good battery life, stable

4. ABSOLUTELY

I answer this because you ask :p
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] R.A.G.E:
Just my opinion

1.Stock rom cuz there are alot of cm7 based rom already and most stock rom based are now either discontinue or buggy.

2.Remove bloat ware and replace stock app with better app. Barebone will be nice too so we can customized the way we want

3.Performance and battery efficiency

4.It really ur choice but I prefer sth else more "weird":D

Cheer mate:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dhruvbatra205:
Lagfree even with music with dsp manager!

Try modding MIUI...i more stable and bug free version maybe
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] madsa:
1. try mebitek, cause i think we have andro-id for stock

2. try timescape, but without SE launcher

3. stable, free bugs, good battery of course, and try something new, give some suprises for us, like OC to 1gz maybe (kidding)

4. agree with ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] AndroidUser99:
No need add too many app on it. .try work on launcher, theme or statusbar.lockscreen....the most important is support a cleannn ROM. Base kittenlinux build squad config...mabtek rom have some bug...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] freakyfriday:
Very unique way too start a rom. Thank you. :)

Here are my suggestions ---

1. MIUI style ( there are many ics styled rom theme, so miui is my choice)

2. No bloatware

3. Battery tweaks and slaid script

4. CM based - better customization than stock ( my opinion)

5. Base mebitek latest
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] #Darpan:
It should be like a carbon copy of ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] geri268:
I used CM 7.2.0 RC1 that was the best...^^ but I use stock 2.3.5 (pre-sales code XEH (if it matters)), because 3.5G/HSDPA

will CM7 official will be good or emanonV4.?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] freakyfriday:
both are outdated man...try emanoN v6 or mebitek rc1...or kittenlinux squadzone config...miui style ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] geri268:
I didnt tried those yet...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] aSpirit81:
Emanon v6,Yes.ICS,Yes.Dsp manager,adrenaline engine...and make it slim...70 mb max...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] aSpirit81:
Clock in the center,battery percentage,scroll to lockscreen effect like on galaxy s 2 stock rom..good battery life...and can someone build keyboard from iphone....not iphone keyboard emulator,just original keyboard...i know that is xcode...thx.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] BlueHack:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] D1358531:
It's just too bad that these roms wouldn't work. The Dart should have been made more compatible with the GT-S5570 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] aSpirit81:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieg71:
You can go to menu/settings/advanced(CM) settings/display/ then check screen on animations. Not sure which of his roms you are talking about but if it's one of his AOSP roms this will help.

Hi thanks- ya there is no 'advanced settings' and the setting on animations is 'all animations' instead of no or some. I am just going to partition another card and get 'the express' rom which seems like the rom to have...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Thanks man- I just reread your advice on animations and I think you meant 'no' animations instead of 'on'. I just set it to no animations and the home screen seems to come back now out of the time out screen. I have to hit the power button a few times, the lit menu buttons go out and when they come back on I've got a screen.

Do you know if I can install a blank sd card into the phone?- to partition to install 'the express' once I can flash it from my computer which is the only way I know how.

Thanks again,

Tj
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieg71:
No need for a new card unless your upgrading. Either way, if it is your current or a new sd, BACK IT UP TO THE PC first. And yes I saw that your pc is not recognizing the device, sounds like you will need to install the proper drivers (to your pc) for it to work. I would suggest going to this guide -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386911 I believe HipKat has all the steps for what your wanting to do, laid out much better than I can chicken peck on this keyboard, lol.

Good luck!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hey Jamie- I found since someone shut the pc down improperly that's what caused Windows to now recognize things- I actually just unplugged it and going to give it a few before plugging it back in. I should be good to go. The only other problem I am having since selecting no animTions is the display brightness is at the lowest setting. Trying to adjust/ autoi does nothing. Any advice on that one?- heading out for a late breakfast and going to flash the express when I get back but this phone is hard to.see till then for incoming calls- thanks god I have a tablet. Figuring how to.root that thing will be interesting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieg71:
Under settings/display de-select auto brightness. Should be a toggle in your power menu as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hey thanks again Jamie- I had a new 8 gig micro sd card so I took my original out and put that in and partitioned as one tutorial had it laid out using Amon RA Recovery? The partitioning went well and I got the Express ROM on and installed nice except for a small issue the timeout or lock screen won't come out of lock screen unless I remove the the battery. I did what you told me to do on the Sinister ROM and switched the animations off and was able to come out of the idle or lock screen after about a dozen presses of the power button. Apparently it wasn't the Rom. Half the time I can't answer a call. I read a post on this site a last week on this same issue someone else had. The solution was some type of "pack" supposedly needed to be installed to the ext partition or something like that. I have tried to find that post ever since and cannot since. When I gohit 'search this forum' and the search field appears, the keyboard appears then disappears. Do youyou know anyone I maybe able to get into contact with that would be able to help me resolve this? So what type of devices do you have. I've also got the Samsung Galaxy 4G LTE 10.1 that I tether to which is nice.

I have been having a bit of a time finding solutions to certain things on here...
