[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSThing:
I use my Galaxy S2 as a wifi hotspot, I have no other source of broadband.

As far as I can discover it will only transmit on channel 6. Problem is my nearest neighbour has just installed a router that is also on channel 6 and my wifi is now having dropouts. I would like to try different channels to see if things improve.

This is why it is posted here:)

What are bad blocks and how to clear them??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hengsheng120:
Bad blocks usually refers to very small parts of your internal storage that are broken and can't retain data properly anymore. You can't fix them and can only let the system store the data somewhere else by reflashing.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hengsheng120:
Well, if you don't specifically check for bad blocks with tools, you won't know that you have them until you flash a rom. One of the symptoms of having a lot of bad blocks is that many fully working roms don't work (doesn't boot, or lots of errors) on first try, despite following instructions exactly.

The only practical solution is to flash roms a few times to see if the problem is because you did something wrong, or the rom really doesn't work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
^What he said, and sometimes the ROM simply won't boot on the normal partition size as it can't write to these blocks, so you'd have to increase the size of the partition in order to boot a ROM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Garrus Vakarian:
I was just wondering if it should root my Epic 4G Touch. I have a few reasons for wanting to Root, namely, Free WiFi Tethering, and silencing the Camera. However, my concerns are voiding the warranty, and losing my data. In your opinion, is it worth it?

Also, if I unmount my Micro SD card before rooting, there's no chance of losing any data on it, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vee4410:
I say go for it and you got nothing to lose. I was also once contemplating to root

or not and im glad i did:D

Phones can also be unrooted and restored if something happens to go wrong.

You will have lots of benefits such as using custom roms,using root applications,

modding your entire phone to your liking etc etc...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joeyh82:
Should I root?

Yes you should root for sure the android world is ever expanding and becoming easier and more complex Ive learned so much tinkering with my E4GT how to root use odin install roms over clock under clock change voltages memory tweeks Mali GPU tweeks. also it makes jail breaking and unlocking the iphone look like a sad little controlled by apple baby the android OS is wide open to any and all customization and you dont need google's permission to do it. so yes i would root any android phone its so much better than stock ROM and Kernels. Good luck please post any more questions if u have them ill help you out the best i can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mastershake725:
Rooting really unlocks the potential of your phone. I know most Sprint stores are probably different, but when I picked up my E4GT the guy at the counter had a custom rom on his phone. And told me not to worry about rooting/flashing as they can usually reset the phone (before ICS of course). And if they couldn't save it, then I would have to pay a 100 deductible. Not to shabby, and of course haven't hard bricked yet (knock on wood). Just make sure to read, read, read! And check out qbking 77 videos on youtube. That guy is a genius, and if you follow his steps to a T then you will be fine. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greeneguys:
+1 on the qbking77 videos he makes it easy to follow along. I rooted fiollowing his steps with no problem.my phone is faster has more abilities has better battery can tether backup make nandroids for safe keeping. Just as said above read and research before jumping. You won't be sorry you did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] proxy0:
Question do I have to unroot to update to ics when its finally released?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Ok first off the answer is no if you do it with sfhubs method and secondly before any of you guys start messing with your phones do some research. "Should I Root" has got to be one of the most repetitious threads in here. A little research of the thoughts of others asking the same question would be a great start to your Android adventure.

Honestly, this is a great place but it does take up some of your time and brain power. Asking others about what to do with your personal device is a lill off center to me but its ok as long as if you destroy your own personal device you dont go blaming others.

Like mentioned QBKing has plenty of videos and please Please please read the stickys in all sections. I may sound crazy but too me if you have to ask this question about rooting your not ready. Its not for the faint of heart...

Side note - If you learn anything in here is that the upgrade for ICS will be here long before or minutes after its official. Never understood why people unroot to get an update to root again... Is it just me? *scratches head*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] proxy0:
I really don't care that you can't understand. I want the official release. I don't want to use roms that have minor issues or have none working features. Yet anyway. I'd rather be safe. Now as for my question. I did a search an I get conflicting results. One says updating ota with root doesn't matter. Second one is you can update with root but you wont be able to root after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
If you have to ask, NO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown_Hero:
Haha that Sprint guy at the counter sounds like me, custom rom on my E4GT while showing customers my phone. I love it when some ask "wow did ice cream sandwich come out? Can I update to that??" By all means rooting and roming your phone is not for everyone, but I say go for it. Don't expect everything to work perfectly, you need to understand there will be bugs and glitches every now and then and that's why this is my hobby. Always something to do :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Hahahaha... ahhh you don't care hahahaha ok but buddy if you really did your research like you said you would know that.... Ya know what just go to sfhubs threads and do a little reading and you will find your answer which I answered already.

My bad this place is about helping others who need helps so here you go..You do know that sfhubs tars are rooted stock with NO I repeat NO changes... I have already answered that I believe but I guess you were stuck on something else I said.... Hahahahahaha

here it is below from sfhubs thread here

The ONLY change was the addition of ROOT to the ROM. NOTHING else was changed. If you made no other changes, you WOULD be able to install an OTA patch update (based off of EL29) on top of this w/o issues.

root, unroot to root again? :eek:

Playya Out!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronson17:
it is definitely worth it, and if you plan not to root it, you should just give it to someone more deserving and get the iphone. i had the same question a few weeks ago and after much reading and a little bravery, ive grown to trust myself highly with some of these processes. really rooting isnt even what youre after for the good stuff, its just a prerequisite. i recommend reading a lot though. and like others said, qbking77 is your guiding angel lol
[General Questions and Answers] mars83:
Hi,

I'm owner of Wildfire S, but for me it's not enough. Its performance is not enough for today usage. I was looking at the mobiles which have top performance. So I decided to go with SGS2 (no SGS2 HD LTE in Poland) or SXS. But I don't know now. SGS2 is older and it does have microSD (16GB + max 32GB is 48GB) where SXS has ONLY 32GB's. Also in Poland price difference between them 2 is around €50. I don't want to spend more than €400-430 because I'm poor student (who look for high end stuff :D)

Please help me choose! :P

[General Questions and Answers] mars83:
So it's better to buy older SGS2 rather than newer SXS?
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Definitely

The galaxy s2 just works better. Sure the Sony is more flashy,but it's also expensive and the battery isn't anything special,it's smaller and sealed shut,remember you'll have it long time,you might need to swap. If you're afraid of root the galaxy has official ics 4.0. Amoled is HD like the bravia display so no difference there.

The Sony has a faster camera but that's about it. I'd save my money and get more screen real estate cause the shooter on the s2 is one of the best,better than iPhone is enough for me.

Hey guys,

I've been trying to use the "Wireless Tether for Root Users" to connect to my third-generation iPad, and the iPad can see the Wifi network, but refused to actually connect (it just gives a generic "unable to connect" message). My old iPhone 4 doesn't even see the network.

I followed these instructions from another thread:

"Okay so after playing with the app "WiFi Tether for Root Users, Muller, Lemons, Buxton" I finally got it to work. You will need the app downloaded and installed, go to settings, select profile and select "generic ICS" should be the 3rd option, then hit the menu bar again to select re install binary files.

After that turn on the hot spot and connect with your device!"

I've tried rebooting both the One X and the iPad, but it didn't make a difference. Has anyone had any luck tethering iOS devices to the One X using this (or other) methods? Please let me know if so.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] extol1337:

My physical keyboard is becoming unresponsive for certain keys, as I'm sure you can imagine this is a major hassle. Nonetheless, I'm going to request a replacement from Verizon and need to take my phone back to stock prior to doing so. I've searched all over and can't find an up to date guide to remove safestrap, flash a stock rom and return back to the OTA path. I have the following information, can someone please advise on the most comprehensive way to return to stock?

[Motorola Droid 3] gregg098:
I am on my third Droid 3. The second one had keyboard issues. Some keys acted like 5 keypresses and other didnt work unless you pressed real hard. Process with Verizon was the usual. They want you to reset your phone to make sure it isnt a software issue. If that doesnt work, they will send a replacement at no cost and a return label.

This droid 3 and my wife's are both having keyboard issues now too so we will probably both be getting new (refurbished) phones again.

Hint: Reactivate your phone a day before you call verizon (*228 option 1 - this does no harm to your phone and you have no data loss). Then when you call, tell them you already tried a full reset. They see a new activation on your account and you can move past the BS for a true hardware issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] blmetzger:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but every time I run the "click here to flash..." while the phone is in ap fastoot, it just flashes the phone back to stock liberty, which is what was already installed. I did download and extract to the "files" folder. What am I doing wrong?

Hello everybody i would like to ask you yours advices. I have my topaz since 2 years and i never really liked it because i find it really slow with WM 6.5 even for basics tasks as SMS writing. I have no apps because of the poor market place. I use it just as a phone or a (bad) camera.

Is there a rom improving topaz capacities or the speed?

Are developers still working in a android's ROM or wm 7 'ROM ?
