[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coltie:
First, this forum doesnt admire lazy people.

There are lots of people that can help you with your problems, but you have to try to do it yourself.

Im not sure if there is an official version of ICS for S 2.

If you want to update it yourself you go to Android development and choose a rom.In the thread you will find what exactly you have to do in order to flash the rom.But before that, you have to flash a CF root kernel for your modem, in order to get a Clockwork mode working, from CWM you can flash your ICS or GB as you wish.

You can find the instructions on how to flash a CF root kernel in here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

Read carefully, everything.

But, to be more specific you arent missing anything by not running ICS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I'm also using this phone in the US. You will NEVER get a Kies or OTA update, as this phone is not released in the US.

Intratech's official firmware thread. Found quite easily with a search, or in the stickies in the General section. Alternatively, Official Stock ICS Firmwares, courtesy of Faryaab. Stickied in the Original Android section, right at the top.

If you don't know the difference between rooting and flashing, then for the love of all that is holy, don't do ANYthing before reading and learning. Start here, here, and here.

No offense, but if you're not sure of anything, your "answer" to his question will only serve to confuse him more.

There IS an official version of ICS.

You do NOT need to root to update to the official Samsung released ICS.

He COULD flash a CF-root kernel, but that isn't what he asked for, and given that he didn't ask to root, but asked specifically for ICS, this doesn't help him.

I feel a little dirty having this as my first post, but this problem has been eating at me for a week now. :p

Current Bootloader Status:

Jan 13 2012,17:33:34

I bought this Sensation from eBay a week ago in a Used state, the owner said the only problem it has was the radio did not function correctly, most likely due to a dodgy flash (it was already rooted, S-OFF and with SuperCID), which I solved by re-flashing using RevolutionHD. All seemed fine until the second boot, where it began to reboot randomly, but ONLY when it has been normally booted and not in the charger. Thinking how it only rebooted due to the charger, I immediately thought it was the battery, but after swapping the battery from my perfectly working EVO 3D with the one in the Sensation, it STILL rebooted constantly. When in either the Bootloader or 4ext, it does not reboot or show any problems.

Just as a precaution, I went through the S-OFF and SuperCID processes again to see if he did something wrong along the way. I then re-loaded 4ext and ran the superwipe script, followed by re-flashing with a re-downloaded RevolutionHD. After its first boot, everything seemed fine for a day, no reboots and working like a charm, but soon went back to its rebooting error again, exactly like before. The same with other ROMs, both ICS and Gingerbread.

As the last extreme, I opened the Sensation to see if anything seemed odd or out-of-place, which is when I found out that the WiFi flex cable was missing, which even though I know I can easily buy a replacement, it annoyed me a bit, but I was wondering if that could upset the OS?

So yeah, at the moment I am at an impasse with this phone and, if I can't get this to work, try to get a refund due to the missing parts.

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] elyts:
Hi,

you said you tried both GB and ICS. Did you flash the correct firmware with the roms? And which kernel did you use?
[HTC Sensation] Tezuka101:
I used the firmwares recommended in the ROM threads and kernels that came with them.
[HTC Sensation] elyts:
That seems strange. Android Revolution HD is a very stable rom. I ran it for quite a long time until i couldnt see Sense anymore.. So your problem should not be rom related. I think the only thing you didnt try was wiping dalvik cache. I read in some rom threads that it is recommended to do it when you flash the rom. But I dont know if this would help. I only heard of people getting random reboots when they ran an unstable rom.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
so when flashing Roms you used the 3.32 firmware? In my "personal" opinion I would be a bit upset for the missing part. Even if you were able to get the device to function as it should, missing parts are not acceptable unless previously stated in the purchase contract. Like i said only MY " opinion" but if it were my device and I was certain their was no mention of the missing parts, I would definitely take the device back. And I would buy another with all parts present, however this is just a opinion and its up to you on what you want to do. I think its wrong to sell a device with missing parts unless the buyer is aware of this before sale. So if it were mine, I'd take it back and have him explain why you were NOT told ahead of time about the missing part! I wish you the very best in whatever you decide to do! Good luck to you! The sensation is a great device and I think you will love it!
[HTC Sensation] Tezuka101:
Thanks for the advice so far guys. :)

That's what I told my Dad (it's actually his phone he bought, but I'm doing all of the legwork, I'm an EVO 3D man :p), I said he should ask for a full refund due to the product not being as advertised, but he still wants to keep it and replace the cable. Dads, eh? I assume that firmware updates the radio, correct? I noticed that when I flashed the latest firmware on the Sensation, the radio version DID NOT change. I have just finished flashing with the latest radio and RIL available for ICS ROMs, which has given me a new version number. I'll keep posted to tell you guys if it solved the issue or not.
[HTC Sensation] Tezuka101:
Nope, still rebooting. Can the the lack of the flex cable cause issues with the OS? I think I've ruled out software by now, unless you guys have other suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] banderz777:
do you have wifi turned on or what... it was the wifi cable right, I would check to see under setting that only mobile data is being used not wifi.... just my thought.
[HTC Sensation] Tezuka101:
Sadly I can't switch it off, it constantly tries to switch it on, but due to the cable missing it always fails and retries constantly.
[HTC Sensation] banderz777:
well you could try to reinstall the rom and in setup it asks about data usage i think try to click for mobile data only....

what rom are you using on the phone ????
[HTC Sensation] Tezuka101:
I'm currently using RevolutionHD. I have tried Virtuous and getting the same result. I'm re-downloading RevolutionHD to try what you said and choose mobile only.
[HTC Sensation] Tezuka101:
With WiFi on the off setting (but saying "Error") it still reboots. I've now run out of ideas what this could be. What else could be causing this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] n0brainr:
Hi, I have recently unlocked the bootloader of my ST15i according to the official method on Sony Mobile Developer World.

I knew it was going to delete DRM & TrackID, about which I didn't care, because

I haven't bought

any music in iTunes, I have only ripped some CD's in a m4a (aac) 128 kpbs format,

which resulted in non-DRM'ed m4a's

that I could play on any device supporting m4a (aac).

But, I quickly noticed

I just couldn't play m4a (aac) files anymore

. I tried several music players, and PowerAmp seems the only one that can play these files now, problem: it's paid.

So, the question is, is there any way to get these files supported again in the stock music player? Because it seems the bootloader-unlock also removed non-drm m4a support... Thanks in advance.

PS:

I'm now running the original SE ROM (.62) + a prerooted kernel.

I don't know if this the correct subforum, because this could also be a feature idea/request for development... :S

There has to be a way to solve this ^^, if PowerAmp is capable to play m4a's..

[EDIT]

It seems WinAmp also does the job :) (hadn't tried this one), but suggestions on how to get support in the stock music player are still welcome! (because I like the stock 'simplicity' & memory usage more).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] melander:
I am not sure if unlocking bootloader would affect the usage of the stock music player. The music files that you are trying to play are not even protected as per your explanation.

Have you tried other formats like mp3 or aac+?

Try reencoding your audio cds to the same aac format then try it again on the stock music player.

If it still does not work, then you are better off using another player.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] n0brainr:
Thanks for you answer, these aac's worked on the stock player before I unlocked the bootloader, mp3's worked and are still working fine. I don't have any aac+'s.

The aac's are indeed not protected, and thats what I think is weird, because there's absolutely no DRM on them if you just rip a CD...

What would reencoding the CD's to the same format help? It's the same format xP. I don't have the time now, but i'll try one CD later, until then I can use WinAmp without a problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
If the CDs are official ones, they might be copy-protected anyway.

Do the music files, ripped from CD, work on your PC?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] n0brainr:
Nah, if you rip them the don't have any protection anymore. The ripped files perfectly work on VLC... so there's no need for an account permission or a familiar thing. Btw, I don't have iTunes installed anymore.

[General Questions and Answers] NewMC:
I'm currently preparing to deploy tablets to our technicians for service routes and surveying purposes. I would like opinions of the community on which tablet would be the most user friendly and capable of fulfilling all of our needs.

We need to be able to email, fill out documents, and capture signatures from the tablet. For ease of administration I would like to be able to access the file structure (not sure if I can do this with an iPad or not). I will need to quickly pre-load all of the forms/documents that each technician will need for a trip prior to them leaving. I don't want to have to email everything to each tablet and then go in and move the files around so I will need either a USB-PC interface, full sized USB ports, or a card reader. I'm all for cloud services and use them regularly but I'm doubtful that the older generation is very familiar with them.

My personal experience in all things mobile has been a strong background in Android or WinMo. I've typically stayed away from Apple products, as such I'm not against using the iPad but I'm not familiar enough to know it's capabilities or limitations.

Please keep in mind that I need something the average Joe can manipulate unassisted in the field. Thanks for your thoughts!
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
Afaik the only tablets with a full sized USB port and a SD card are the Transformer Prime and the TF300, but they have to be attached to their keyboard docks in order to do that. As to everything else I guess that pretty much every Android tablet will fill the bill. USB OTG cables are also a valuable option as far as USB connectivity is concerned, they work with every Android device and they generally cost just a couple bucks.

Hi all. My apologies that I didn't keep the conversion going after the thread was moved, can't believe this was three years ago already. As an update, I currently have 26 MS Surface tablets deployed, twenty are Surface RT and six are Surface 2, all have the detachable Type Keyboard 2 and a wireless USB mouse. I ended up going with these because I had one and it is rock-solid, receives Windows updates, and included free MS Office. Our guys get along well with them and with the peripherals I can carry one of these and get most routine work tasks done anywhere without requiring any customizing, rooting, or additional software. I keep my TF 101 up-to-date and love the direction Android is going in but for ease of use among multiple generations I feel we made the right choice with the Surface tablets. Keep your eyes open for the Jive Remix tablet coming down the road, I missed out on the kickstarter but it looks promising for an Android tablet that is more business oriented. Thanks
