[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatPhysicsBoy:
Ok so I was previously running Hydr0g3n ICS ROM an older version and I had mount problems where only internal sd would mount, but it mounted at least. Occasionally I'd have to reboot my laptop because of no detection but that'd fix it.

Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I installed Resurrection Remix 04/05 but got really weird issues when connecting to my laptop e.g. installing device drivers, failing, usb sounds coming and going, device being recognised then disappearing again. Eventually no response. I reflashed, fully wiped, everything, experimented with drivers. Then plugged it into a mates (newer) laptop and it worked?

Back to mine, didn't work, installed Hydr0g3n ICS 05/05 which ran a lot smoother but still same issues, I repeated the steps above and even after device drivers actually successfully installed, it'd work and then next day no response or detection when plugging in USB. Since then I've gone through the drivers route again, trying all sorts of windows fixes, it still works fine when plugged into a newer laptop.

So after all my research etc I've realised that it seems to be some sort of power issue with the phone/ROM, perhaps the newer laptops have more USB hubs which aren't shared between many devices and so it works but mine is very intermittent if not non-existent. Oh, all other USB devices work, flash drives, external hard drives, I have never had any issues with any USB devices. Just this.

Also, I've tried toggling USB Debugging, and MTP UMS PTP, nothing. Read something about fast charge but have no notification that it's enabled on boot and no option to disable it in Kernel tweaks since I'm not on a supported kernel.

Hydr0g3n ICS ROM 2012 05 05 SGS2

3.0.29 Siyah v3.1.2

Any help would be much appreciated.

UPDATE:

I ordered a powered USB hub off eBay, it arrived today and did not work with the phone.

UPDATE 2:

So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.

It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?

I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-

It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.

Bump?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
just try 2 flash the latest siyah kernel and check:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirbeksm:
On Windows 7, after several USB connect-disconnect, I would experience Windows not responding to connection any more on that very USB port.

I usually have adb server running in background, so "Safely remove" feature is blocked, and I would simply remove after file operations are over.

I made a .bat file on desktop, that simply performs "adb kill-server", so that I can safely remove it, and have not experienced this problem since then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatPhysicsBoy:
:eek:

I've tried all of the kernels, Siyah, Thoravukk, NEAK, and multiple versions of Siyah too, including the latest one.

Also my powered USB hub arrived today and it did not remedy the issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatPhysicsBoy:
Could you perhaps explain this a little more to me?

I plug it in and literally it charges but absolutely nothing else happens. Anything else works in the same port, just not the phone for some reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
USB problems basics .

USB port should be mainboard port .

Usb Port on phone multiple USB problem posts say clean port .

Kies or Samsung USB drivers should be installed with Kies not running .

USB cable try Samsung cable or another .

Try USB debugging off and or on .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatPhysicsBoy:
1) Yes they are all mainboard ports - No response.

2) Have cleaned USB ports on mainboard many times. This seems irrelevant too since all other devices are recognized.

3) Have also experimented with combinations of this. (All combinations) Nothing.

4) I have only tried the Samsung cable since it's all I have, and it works on all of my friends laptops.

Also, I plug it in, and it draws power (aka it charges) but nothing else. Not even a windows 'bong'. Even with the powered USB hub, it still only charges.

However the minute I plug it into a friends laptop it seems to work just fine.

@ op

goto device manager and uninstall the android devices you see there with the option "delete device drivers completely" and make a reboot.

now install the usb drivers and plug in the device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
This last point tells me there are possibly some registry settings on

your

computer that are keeping the drivers from loading properly.

I've never had to do this, so I don't know what to look for EXACTLY, but you may need to get a registry cleaner and try to eradicate all traces of Kies and Samsung drivers from your computer, then re-install either Kies (to get the drivers) or the stand-alone USB drivers.

I remember reading another post some time back about some other guy who actually totally re-installed Windows... which is a bit like using explosives to kill a mosquito, if you ask me.

However, try bala_gamer's suggestion first. That may be all that is needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatPhysicsBoy:
So believe it or not I didn't actually go into detail in the op! But a few more things to note are that the device does not show up in device manager at all. Even with shadow device detection enabled. I have used all manner of driver software available to clear out all old usb drivers/any drivers which may be conflicting etc. I have also removed and reinstalled the usb host controllers and root hubs many times

Yes, indeed I also believed it to be some sort of registry problem, I have also used tune up utlities, registry mechanic and ccleaner (I think thats all there was!) and run registry scans/cleans/fixes/defrags. To no avail. I was actually considering reinstalling windows or something.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opticon107:
I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs

I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs and then I installed MIUI and it worked again, I guess you can try any other ROM (not AOKP) and check if it solves your problem.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
my SGSII takes about 3 hours to fully charge. in japan, we had charging stations, where youd place a battery in a machine, and itd charge it from 10% - 70% in about 8 minutes,. and to 90% in about 15. this was because the machines used a higher current.

ive noticed the stock usb charger that comes with the S2 is a lower voltage of those compared to HTC, or say one youd buy at radio shack. yet even with a higher voltage charger, the phone still charges at the same rate. this is because the kernel controls input levels. the input levels are set to slowly take in a current, there are many reason youd want to have a slower charge.

one is to reduce salt bridge deterioration, which is ware on the battery. while this may be an issue for some who plan on keeping their phone battery for years, without upgrading their phone, or battery, for most of us a year of ware wont make a difference.

a second issue is heat, a faster charging battery generally charges warmer than a slower charging battery. however the phone will still not get as hot as a phone sitting in the sun, or playing a high graphics intensive game.

i would like to adjust the kernel to allow higher frequencies, how much of a higher frequency? well that would require bench testing. but a higher frequency indeed

has anyone played with these settings in the kernel, or done any benchtesting on the matter? id be very interested to hear your findings.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
so then the only way is to use an external battery charger?

because i know for a fact, an external battery charger can charge a battery very fast, ive experienced this first hand

on that link you posted, it said that the sgs2 charging limit is 650mA, but the USB charge is set lower.. has anyone raised the USB charge to 650mA? this would at least help my phone charge faster in the car, or while plugged into my laptop
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:
The USB charge is not set to low, the current given by that of a computer USB port is less than 650mA (500mA if i remember correctly) and also depending on the car charger the output (might) be less than 650mA. I use the same computer USB cable with an external USB charger and i notice 2 things:

1- Since the phone pulls the required current from where ever the USB is plugged in, if it has capability of providing 650mA the phone will take 650mA. And with the external USB Charger (iSound Portable Charger) i can charge the phone in 3 hours.

2- Secondly while plugged in the iSound it shows charging "AC plugged in" this is because it can provide 650mA (which is the same as the wall outlet adapter)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jetmantrunks:
Actually from what I know, and correct me if I'm wrong, even using the charger that comes with the sgs2 isn't the healthiest choice for your battery because the voltage is high to cut down on charging time. The best should be by connecting to your pc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxlainen:
I think it is the amps of the charger what makes a difference in charging speed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:
Mistakenly pressed the thanks button, instead of the quote :p lol

Anyhow see if the phone is plugged in to the device that can provide as much current from 0.1A to 2.2A (from simple devices to Iphone <- they require 2.2A) the phone automatically draws the amount of current it is made to draw which is SGS2 is 650mA which is coincidentally the same as the wall outlet adapter.

I might be wrong, so correct me if i am.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgearhathaway:
I as thinking of lower the 650Ma AC rate to 450Ma or less, to allow the phone to slowly charge up overnight, with the aim of finding a rate that acheives a 5-6 hour charge time from empty.

Any thoughts? I was just thinking it should cause less heat and perhaps extend is life accordingly?
[Acer Iconia A500] tomplatz:
I can sync my A500 to my nokia wireless headset without problem. Approximately an hour later it disconnects while watching a movie. Doesn't matter which movie or player program. The headset is fully charged.

This started after Flexreaper R12 but never happened prior on stock roms or the earlier versions. I also ran Taboonay and it worked fine.

Any thoughts? Yes i did a full wipe and load.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] rainerhoefs:
Hello,

I had a simular question some days before.

I'm using a case with keyboard via USB and a mouse via BlueTooth. With Taboonay everything worked perfect, with any Flexreaper.The mouse will be paired but no pointers, no work.

I never got any response on my question.

It seems no one of the developers is looking into this forum.:mad:

On the other side I'm not allowed to post to the developers forum because I have not done 10 questions.:(

This is, simply, bull****!:(

Hoping anyone can help!;):)

Hey you anonyme guy, that was very polite what you wrote.

If I have only this one problem to post for, because all others is OK. Then it would be the best way to do it in that part of the forum where it belongs. So the developers can see it directly in their thread!

Thats all.

And there is absolutly no reason to do a posting like you did. This style do write other people is very easy done in your anonym corner!

People like you cannot be taken as serious guys.

Solation for passt post, somewhat same issue with bluetooth...

Hi there to you all.

First up, quadruple kuddos to Civato for the rom, it kicks butt and is great.

Concerning my previous post about graphical crashes during games (like NFS, NFS HP, etc,) was related to this specific unit.

It seems to suffer from intermitant hickups during certain process(like flashing, etc)

If any one comes across the same issue, simply factory reset tablet, empty all caches and reflash rom.

As for the bluetooth issue, I seem to have something similar going on.

First up, all my devices (Acer bluetooth keyboard, Bluetooth Mouse and Rocketfish Headset all pair and work with the tablet)

The headset loses connection 3 to 4 times before it connects properly.

If I watch a movie with Diceplayer, MX video Pro or V player, and if the headset becomes disconnected, the movie starts playing in fast motion with no sound.

I tried everything to close//force close the player and empty cache, etc and nothing works.

The only way to fix that problem is to reboot the tablet.

The mouse works fine so does the keyboard.

Any toughts?
[Captivate General] Barney Fyfe:
Hello,

Due to the 10 post threshold I am unable to post in the "Samsung Captivate -

Captivate Android Development

[Guide] Encryption Unsuccessful - Reset Android [ICS Issue]" thread.

I have resolved this issue a couple months back.

So, due to the time that has gone by it is a little difficult to explain what I did.

Last night I reproduced the issue, but after a restore, I'm good as new.

So now I am compelled to post this here. Being a "noob" and like I said not able to completely remember what "exactly" was done to accomplish the fix.

I am willing to share any information you wish.

But in a nutshell, I flashed ( a ROM I can't remember at the moment, but I'm sure I will once I get down to it. at work and pressed for time, "lunch time" ) using Heimdall, then downloaded the rom "Imfinitum-blue-v1.1.0 to my external SD, ( using a 34 Gb SD card, seems that is the only card that I could use. From what I remember anyway. ) Mod version "aokp_galaxysmtd_milestone-4"

The kernel version currently being utilized on this device is "3.1.10_IcyGlitch_V14-B6_1896-1897ytk@Glitch #1.

Sorry for being so confusing, and vague, but I really wanted to get something out there. I see they are still working on a fix for this issue, I found this resolve before page 30, it's now at 57, and after recreating the issue and then resolving it after a restore.

So, ask any question you want and I will be happy to help.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
[Captivate General] yosup:
By "fixed" do you mean:

a) You have restored access to your INTERNAL sdcard?

b) You have used the emmc/sdcard swap method to use your external as the internal? (ie. your internal sdcard is still not useable)

It would help if you could mention whether your internal card is back in play. And esp. if you were able to access the data that was on there - ie. before you experienced the EU issue.

Or did using Heimdall wipe the internal sdcard - ie. yet you're now able to use the internal though?
[Captivate General] Demetris:
Hello,

Because this would save a lot of people's phones including mine, would be great if you post your steps so we can follow.
[Captivate General] Red_81:
Take this with a grain of salt guys.

There is very little information in his post, which is his very first post. There is also no information about the process he used. I'm not sure what a 34gb SD card is. I believe the methods he alludes to have been tried by other members with no resolution.

I have a feeling he had a different issue or is just trying to get attention.

For all our sakes I hope I'm just rushing to judgement.
[Captivate General] swayjd:
I guess what we want to know is, what have you done?

Say you just got the Enc Unsuccessful screen, turned off the phone and then what?
[Captivate General] Wdustin1:
He's to shy to give anymore details.
[Captivate General] Barney Fyfe:
I just duplicated the issue again, "no sdcard found"..etc... then using did a restore ("Semaphore CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4" by the way) restored the Captivate right back. After it boots I get "prepairing sdcard" then everything is back to normal.

Answer to "a." Yes, full access to both External and Internal drives. Also can mount and unmount all /system, /cache, /datadata, /sdcard, /data, /emmc.

Answer to "b." Sorry, can you elaborate on this. I'm just now sure what you mean by "swap"

You said: "It would help if you could mention whether your internal card is back in play. And esp. if you were able to access the data that was on there - ie. before you experienced the EU issue."

Now here it's difficult to say, I formatted and haphazardly (sorry, dumb I know!) flashed so many times attempting to get back control of this thing, I don't know. Google will restore my apps like before but I disabled this function. However it will detect application updates same 5 updated every time I restore it.

You said: "Or did using Heimdall wipe the internal sdcard - ie. yet you're now able to use the internal though?"

Damn!, I'm just not sure, I'm really sorry but I wish I would have THOUGHT of posting HERE before YESTERDAY!...

Now is there a log file I can send out? So people can see whats going on inside this thing. Like I said so much time has gone by, and once I was able to get the camera working and transfer apps to the external card, and all that I basically went numb and stopped messing around. And I would like to point out, that

"Encryption Unsuccessful" crap ( and knowing better, I DID press Restart by the way) started just a couple days before this thread started. So just to give you an example as to how long this frustration was. I became obsessed, I worked on this phone for most all my waking hours, and I'm sure some of you have, "dreamed" of possible fixes as well!.

If it wasn't for the 10 post threshold I could have been more help. I read every single post in this thread up to the point where I fixed the problem.

Had it all in my head at the time but when I found I couldn't post with-in the >>Encryption Unsuccessful<< thread?! I wasn't sure why.

I even started a separate identity ( Barney Fyfe ) thinking that would allow me to post something.

And from what I read at the time, I thought, rather understood it to mean that I was locked out by some Admin here... Or ?!

Sorry, really, I did not realize I had to get 10 or more posts >>here<<

You know I'm sure I can get details on pretty much exactly what I did. Right now I'm at work, so I'll need a little more time.
[Captivate General] Barney Fyfe:
No just very busy. I just posted this yesterday!?

Wadda' ya want from me eh!?.............. ;)
[Captivate General] Barney Fyfe:
Read my first reply.

I did so much to find a resolve, none of the suggestions I tried in the "Encryption Unsuccessful" thread worked at all by the way. didn't attempt EVERY suggestion, but a lot of them.

I'm going to attempt to get the horrifying memories back!
[Captivate General] Barney Fyfe:
Oh, now here is an odd change in event, not sure if this is related or not but I just realized last night that the phone won't charge, using three different batteries, all fairly new, nor is it being recognized USB wise.

I have a couple other Captivates I'm now having to use to charge my batteries for this one.

It's like the micro usb is damaged?

I'm usually very careful on how I insert them, 4 different cables too. That all work with the other Captivate. It's bricked but does charge the battery.

It's a GT-19000.

Oh and I almost forgot!!

The Samsung Galaxy S SGH-897/Captivate I'm using is fairly new, the date code is " 1111 "
[Captivate General] Barney Fyfe:
RELAX! I'm not playing around.

It's comments like this that kept me from being more proactive in posting in the first place!

Good lord!!

See, now you could have waited at least another day before this flaming!

Losing interest in this now. I was trying to help.

[Captivate General] Red_81:
You brought up a fix to an issue that is getting very high attention right now. You were not able to tell people how to recreate the fix. People are looking for a scientific method (think repeatable steps) to fix this issue that is affecting quite a few people.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I've been watching the Encryption Unsuccessful thread for a very long time. I was stating only what I observed. There have been others who had suggested a similar fix, but it has not been repeatable.

You are a talented artist and obviously have alot going on. I hope for others' sake you can give them some steps to follow. If so, you may just be the "chosen one"
