[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkshadow1997:
hello there i will try to answer your questions tell me what you do not understand and i try and help.

1.yes there is look here:http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?t=11661

2.refer to 1

3.i do not know how to explain this one because i use odin for flashing.

4.open wifi then go to about phone then click software update if there is a latest version available then download and install.

5.to know if you are rooted there should be an app superuser home screen.

6.no its your choice but with rooting you can get cool features here is advantages and disadventages of rooting link:http://droidlessons.com/what-is-rooting-on-android-the-advantages-and-disadvantages/

7.not sure if this will help but refer here:http://www.androidcentral.com/android-z-what-kernel

8.dead phone means you cant turn it on again and it wont do anything,the only way to repair it is send it to the company.to avoid it dont install firmware from other models before flashing make sure its for i9100G and dont use apps like rom manager.

9.never used kies before so i cant help on this.

10.the alternate program for flashing is odin.just put your ophone on download mode then open odin select pda browse for your firmware then start.

hope i answered your question.

thanks a lot,

But is all versions or any update (united states,United Kingdom, United Arab emirates) supporting Arabic (read & write) or must be an Arabic version " i need English interface and all thing is in English but reading and writing Arabic".

what is the difference between firmware update( KSA, KSA (JED), Egypt, and UAE).

Is product Code important for update firmware?

and if it is that's meaning that i can't download any firmware expect France firmware

What is Stock ROM for my phone and how can i know it and where can i download it?

Is that important to install kernel beside firmware update and what is its benefit? how can i choose a appropriate one to my phone?

is there problem to install this room in my phone

Egypt EGY – I9100GJPLC1/I9100GOJPLC1/I9100GXXKL4/I9100GJPLC1

----------------------------------------------------- WHAT THES CODES REFER TO?????

Version: Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread

or any on of other firmware without looking at my current firmware (france as i mentioned up)

Good god use the search. You spent an hour typing this up... could've taken 10 minutes using the search function here on just googling ANY of this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gordon Ramsay:
My proximity sensor seems to be working maybe 30 percent of the time, it was mentioned that doing a full reset of the device fixed the problem for someone else. I am curious if anyone else having issues or just want to test their own could do these steps:

Troubleshoot:

On your phone open the dialer, like you are going to dial the phone number of a friend. Instead dial *#*#3424#*#* (*#*#DIAG#*#*). It will take you to the HTC Function test application. On the white screen, press accept and look for a "P-Sensor" test. Press the item and hit run and it will take you through a test of the sensor. This will help you further determine if there is an issue or not.

Edit: not using a screen protector and screen is clean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] roids87:
Mines just fine, no screen protector.

Edit: I can have my hand about 3 inches away before it stops.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gordon Ramsay:
Just tried to do a factory reset on mine, guess im going to have to return it..however the hell I'm supposed to do that I have no idea...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ShadowDrake:
Mine's like this too but I may just keep it.

I seem to have issues with past phones proximity sensors... being too close meant the screen would come on and i'd push buttons/mute/hang up on the other person all of the time. I'd have to intentionally hold the phone a little ways from my ear so the screen stays off.

And that's just stupid. I don't mind having to hit the power button to hang up the call. I'd say mine only works 1/25 times. Usually the screen just stays dark constantly.

No screen protector, clean screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] preyed:
Mine's same way, if I'm on a call the phone looks dead. I have to hit power to get it on to end the call or interact with it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gordon Ramsay:
I have a replacement coming from telesales, hope it fixes it. Is there anyone who has one that works perfect? lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Westfire:
Did they give you a timetable on when it would be shipped? I tried calling today regarding my borked Google Wallet and they authorized a new device but the order support department is closed and they are suppose to call me back tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ShadowDrake:
In playing with the diagnostic mode I don't believe these phones even have a proximity sensor. I think its relying 100% on the light sensor. try it... the phone screen won't turn on automatically when its not very bright out.

I only see one hole in the face of the phone and I assume that's the light sensor.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gordon Ramsay:
It was said 2-5 days (if that)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
i thought that was by design... the proximity sensor IS the light sensor, that controls auto-brightness, and if its doing like a call, if light is dark, it goes off. (saves money, real estate, and battery, only one sensor instead of 2)

That was also why if you press it up to your face too fast, screen stays on and buttons press. if you smash it on your face, the screen light reflects off your face enough to trigger the sensor to think its still 'bright' out. you have to semi-deliberately, (means:slower-ly) raise the phone to your ear so there's the second of darkness before the screen light starts bouncing off your face strong enough to trigger it.

p.s. - this is also more of a wpp
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brnail:
Mine turns off and on based upon how much natural light it sees. In a well lit room without sunlight, it does not turn off. In sunlight, you can turn it off and on by moving it away from the sunlight.

If you have the phone in a call, I can see a small red light next to the proximity sensor. If not in a call, the light is not turned on.

I am not please with how this works. I can't see the dial pad without pressing the power button inside.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] preyed:
I'm hoping that this is something that can be fixed without replacing the hardware.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
That's funny if it's true. Ha ha. So if you bring the handset up to your ear at a typical rate (like most everyone does), the sensor wont turn the screen off? Brilliant.

So I guess lighter skinned people have this issue more than dark skinned people? Great design.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Syph3r:
I am having major issues with this now. It has steadily got worse each day. I see the little red light come on right next to the sensor when I make a phone call and it messes up. It will not go away unless I restart or shutdown the phone, and as soon as I make another phone call the red light is back on. I don't know what the issue is but it's getting annoying. I have the HD screen protector but it seems to be placed right and not blocking the sensor so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

I would love to know if it is a software issue and if it can be fixed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ShadowDrake:
And? If that's the proximity sensor, please tell me where the light sensor is.

I just noticed the small red light when in a call - but it doesn't seem to make a difference. My phone only turns the screen on when exposed to pretty much direct sunlight.

In my apartment or pretty much any place indoors without overhead lighting the screen just stays off during calls.

I'll have to watch the light now too though. Looks like it doesn't always turn off when ending a call.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
Does anybody thats having the proximity issue also have the glass slightly raised on the same corner as the sensor? I think this is directly related, mine is slightly raised and if I push it down flush my proximity works perfectly. Somebody else please try and mayb it is a hardware issue afterall. :mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ShadowDrake:
Yes but good call.

Mine is only BARELY lifted in that corner. If I push down hard, the sensor functions as normal.

Just like my E3D I'll probably keep this flaw in my back pocket per se till I feel like getting the phone replaced for a scratch or something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
Im gonna wait a couple weeks and get it replaced, its too annoying lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
i dia; ##3424# and it gave me the dm command service not what u said
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ottodawg:
Mine was doing the same thing until I did calibrate G sensor, might just have been a coincidence but I haven't had any problems since. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Syph3r:
I just confirmed that it is the screen protector, at least in my case. More specifically the Zagg HD Shield. The reason is they do not have the proper areas cut. The light sensor is cut out but to the left of the light sensor is the proximity sensor. It's hard to see but this is where that little red light is coming from.

It appears I was only having an issue with it when it was at night. The reason is because the light sensor takes over for the proximity sensor since it's been blocked by the shield. So as long as I was in a well lit room or out in the sunlight it work properly. The minute I went into a dark room or into like my car, the screen would not turn on when I pulled the phone away from my head. To test I peeled back the corner with the proximity sensor and in a darkroom made a phone call, it worked!

I also found another forum where said the same thing about the screen protector. See the link below.

Hope this helps everyone :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ShadowDrake:
Not to be the guy who rains on your parade, if you read the thread you will see some of us do not use screen protectors and are still having the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Syph3r:
That's why I said "In my case" because it could be something else with people who don't have a screen protector.

Mine works fine when I remove it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regulator207:
I can confirm this to be true. I was coming here to tell you about it but seems like you already figured it out. I used an exacto knife to cut the notch at the top of my screen protector to the left ~2-3 mm and presto. it works.

I too noticed that the P sensor did not work appropriately in dim lit rooms.

if you tilt your screen down and look at it in the sunlight, you can see a small rectangular slot next to the light sensor. must be the p sensor that is was not taken into consideration with most screen protectors.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tizz06:
i reset my phone to factor and it fixed my problem but i think its the accelerometer that controls the dimming in a phone call. from a quick test that i just did wit my evo i dont think the screen dims out from the p-sensor, it seem to cut out when you rotate the phone to a position in which the phone may b placed on ur ear. ive tested this a few times now and it seem to work every time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
I used to have the prox. sensor problems until I cut away a portion of the Zagg HD screen protector which was blocking it. Now it seems to be working as intended - it works in the dark and in sunlight, it triggers when I put my finger about 3 inches away from it (or put the phone to my ear). I'm guessing that it's probably IR based.

If you have a case or a screen protector, see if you can remove those and make it work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brnail:
Well, I have a Zagg HD and I cut it and it works better but still not that well or consistently. I think that the screen protector interferes with the minimum IR light transmission threshold. I still think the threshold is set higher than in my older phones because this one does not work in light conditions which were not a problem for my other phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
whats funny is that zagg has had this issue since the palm pre and still hasnt figured it out or cared enough to do something
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brnail:
I talked with Zagg. They say that they will have a solution (new screen protectors) in a couple of weeks and will waive the shipping on any warranty replacement.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I have the Sprint screen protector, and I just looked today and realized that it only covers the 4.7" screen, and not the black border around that (where the sensor is and where the three buttons are). Is this normal for screen protectors? I am having the sensor issue today, and haven't had it prior. Now, when I make a call, it immediately goes black as soon as I hit the contact's name. Example: as soon as I call my voicemail, it goes black (and my face is no where near the screen yet).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
Look to see if your screen is slightly popped up on the corner of the prox sensor, I believe this is directly related. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
My eyes can't see any popping up of the screen. I can't push it in at all, and I can't see anything unusual when looking at it across the screen. Hmmm... You've got me worried now though, haha. How noticeable should this be?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
I would have never noticed had I not seen a thread with a picture the other day lol Its barely up not quite flush

lucky bastard lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
Same issues here. Have the Zagg HD installed but I still don't think thats really the issue. Even without and with it cut people are having the trippy proximity sensor issues.

My screen is perfectly even all around, and sits just below the aluminum frame. I don't think it's hardware. More like software issue with the sense dialer. Hopefully an update will fix it.

Anyone thats unlocked and running the viperRom have this issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
If you have Zagg HD then your issue is definitely with that screen protector.

Other people may have other unrelated prox. sensor issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hurleygm:
Just tested my proximity sensor. Did not work at all in low light. Screen would not turn off while on a call and and when I removed it from my face, it would not wake.

On a similar issue, while still on the call, I could not wake it too end the call. Every time I tried to wake it, as soon as touched the screen it turned off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] totalnub911:
I am having the same reported issue of no proximity sensor response. Went into *#*#diag#*#* and did the p-test. The screen dimmed without me moving my hand over the sensor.

Downloaded ProxyLightTester from the play store and had it detect the light differences on the light sensor, but the prox sensor value never changed from 0.0 :(

Should I call sprint and ask for a replacement?

I've rooted via htcdev unlock and am running Vipers. Hope this doesn't fubar my chances of getting it fixed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aximmaxim:
Same problem, but tested using androsensor. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sykosqueak:
I'm having the same problem: screen shuts off immediately after accepting a call and is slow to respond when I try to wake it during calls. The screen is slightly raised at the top of the phone and has some give when I press on it gently. I'm not using a case or screen protector at the moment.

Neither the factory reset nor G sensor calibration have helped. I downloaded and ran ProxyLightTester. The light sensor is working just fine. The proximity sensor remains at 0 unless I put it directly in a beam of light (when it jumps directly to 9.0).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] totalnub911:
Edit: I've gone ahead and called sprint. They're sending me a new replacement.

I would suggest this for anyone with this issue.

Can you guys answer if you've done the following?

HTCDEV unlock?

Custom ROM/Recovery?

I remember the phone working before I had flashed anything....hope it's not totally fried. Went back to stock rooted, and it still was not working :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
I just started noticing it today and I couldn't figure out why the problem seemed to come and go. I went right next to one of my lights and it worked like it should, turned the light off and the screen shut off as soon as I dialed. Seems like it's some sensitivity issue with the p-sensor. Also, as I just discovered while testing it, sometimes the screen just doesn't shut off at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zameus:
Yep...what he said. Same thing happened to me while I was on a call a few hrs ago. I have the Zagg HD cover. Dam thing cost me $$ don't want to remove it :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romanoad:
I am having the same issues. I got my phone Saturday at Best Buy with the Zagg screen protector. The interesting thing is my wife has the same setup, but her p-sensor is working fine. I tried a factory reset, but it didn't help. I am going to swap the phone out today. Hopefully this fixes it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bessie31:
I think I solved this one.

It all depends on how bright the room is. That's why we're all getting varying results. This is one of the jankiest light sensors I've seen in a while.

Any room darker than... overcast daylight, it does not properly detect light deltas and does nothing. Almost certain this is 100% software and we're all screwed.

I suggest everyone go and try it outside in daylight. Mine works.... outside... or by a window.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
Fixed my proximity issue by going into best buy and exchanging the phone for a new one. Now it works as it should day or night :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
I'm not having any issues
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Skinomi

My proximity sensor was working perfect until I installed a Skinomi protector. I called them on the phone and the quickly located my Amazon order and apologized for the problem. They actually promised to address the issues tonight and ship me out a fixed protector tomorrow. This seems almost impossible but we shall see.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
If it is software related, we're not screwed. If it's software related, it'll be fixed in an update.

If it's hardware related, we're all screwed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romanoad:
I exchanged my phone at Best Buy on Thursday, and everything is working as expected now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Did you have a screen protector on yours? Or was it naked?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
I've been having issues with my proximity sensor. I would make a call and it would immediatly go to black screen. I could move the phone away from my face and it would still stay black. I would have to power on the screen and end the call. From there on my proximity light would stay lit (very faint). I would have to make another call before it would go away.

So on my screen protector, I decided to cut the section that is covered to the left of the initial precut spot and now the proximity sensor works great. Going to have to ditch this screen protector and go ahead and precut the last screen protector i got with a razor blade. Didn't do too good of a job with a pair of scissors.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
Have the Zagg HD on and proximity test passes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
I have a Steinheil ultra crystal on my lte and the p sensor works perfectly. I've been talking with slaughter who has the same protector, same setup but his p sensor wasn't working (at this time we were both stock out of the box)

He did some tests and we concluded that the values of his p sensor are set lower than mine so they're less responsive either due to different software builds or hardware defect.

where you guys come in is answering this: have you flashed a custom rom?

I'm running flexs stock rom and my p sensor works flawlessly. If you have flashed a rom and your p sensor does NOT work then there about a 99% chance its a hardware defect and you should get it replaced (mainly bc what else could it be?)

The reason why it's important to flash a rom is bc we may all have different builds of the official RUU (those without a working p sensor probably have an older build) so by all flashing a rom consistent with each other then we can determine if it's software related or hardware related. you don't all have to try it but those already unlocked should give it a shot so those who can get an exchange can get it before it's too late!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Well the whole proximity sensor values were something that I was just guessing at there as a possible explaination...maybe there is just a slight variation in mfg'ing that causes the sensor to be placed ever so slightly different b/w phones and maybe just maybe the sensor overall is too sensitive to allowing it to go dark...add it all up and get what we get...

Its not software builds thats causing it b/c we are on the same build. If you are stock out of the box and fully updated OTA then we all have the exact same software build.

I'm going to try another protector this week and see if I get the same result. SGP said they would send me a replacement to test but b/c i have an extra i told him to hold off till i make sure its the protector and not the phone some how. If my test this week yields the same result then ill order a replacement from sprint directly and test it on that and report back to SGP....they said they have herd of some having the issue but not enough yet to warrant a design change, btw.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romanoad:
I had a screen protector on both phones, the one that didn't work, and the replacement phone that did work.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sabevouser:
Yeah I've seen some people have a proximity issue with zagg's screen protector. Is your with the screen protector on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcmusick:
I don't care about the dark screen or pushing the power button to end a call. However, I do care that when I answer a call, the speaker cuts on, so I have to press the power button and turn off the speaker. Happens 95% of the time. Anyone else having this issue. I personally don't want to bother with taking my phone back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
yea i have to do the weird press power button to end call too.

annoying, but im living with it, cuz i know a fix will be in order.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
I have this issue with my sensor and its kinda annoying to have to go the extra step to press power and end the call... Sometimes as soon as I press power the screen comes on and then shuts right back off so I have to wait for the other end to hang up. I hope this is just a software fix and not hardware or I will be returning this device for another...
