I've seen a few and they all flat, so just something to think about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
Mine is raised, which is the way it's supposed to be. You can tell because the official flip case has a space for the raised home button to fit into.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Well I like the raised home button but I also like the flat home button, there's only 1 way to solve this... Fiiiiight.

I work for a telco and have played with a lot of I9300's... my personal 2 I9300's both have ever so slightly raised keys however I have had some customers whom have had recessed buttons which cannot be felt when running your finger over them... slight manufacturing QA fault possibly?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amos91:
Slightly raised here too. Bizarre that there could be variations in this from the factory.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohamn:
Mine is also slightly raised. I think it gives you a better feeling when you are "looking" for the home button! :cool:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbernal77:
I had the 16gb version and its home button was raised. I switched to the 32gb model and now the button is flat. The button on the 16gb model felt so much nicer. So now I'm wondering if this is a manufacturer defect. Also, my screen makes a slight clicking noise when I hit it on the upper half of the screen. Any ideas on that issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danben7:
Mines raised by about 0.2mm, very very tiny raise, usually flush with a screen protector or just slightly above it

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydee77ca:
Mine was raised slightly when I bought it, now it is flush. I wonder if it goes that way after some use?

I wish they hadn't used a physical button. On my old Sony the physical buttons were the first things to break.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Sony used very cheap button mechanisms.... I've had iPhones and GS2's, and never had any problems.

A lot of pics on the net are showing the white one and the home button looks so raised it looks fake lol. I have pebble blue and mine slightly raised as it was out of the box.

I wanted to ask prejudice, and some days that I can not turn on my tv's Android weweb (the one with the wii remote type), the red LED lights up but when I pressed the button on the remote control will not turn on, as if exhausted batteries

I noticed that in the remote, exactly at the close under the batteries there are two buttons that if they Pigio begin to flash, what are they? you know something? thanks

I've recently just bought an S2 and have been reading through this forum, all the things I can do once I've rooted my S2.

I've never had an Android phone before, and I know nothing about it.

I've followed all the noob guides on how to root, and I just can't get the same things up on screen as the guides show. I've no idea how to put the CWM recovery zip file on my phones sd card.

This is the guide i'm trying to follow;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

And I just can't do it. - The guide says 'put file in sd card' - I can't even do that!

Any help please - for an absolute noob!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Step 1: check the model number on the label under your battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] af12:
model number : GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Ok. You're in the right place.

That guide you mention above where you're supposed to put the file on your sd card. It means your

external

sd card. So you could do it either by turning on usb storage when your phone is plugged into your computer, or by popping the sd card out and putting it into a card reader.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Are you sure it was from the above link? It sounds like you installed a Claro branded firmware, instead of an unbranded one. And that link doesn't have a Claro branded firmware that I saw.

Plus, I think pelpa87 intended for you to flash one of the CF-root kernels for you to get root, not an entire firmware.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Go back to here, choose an UNbranded firmware and flash it.

I'd suggest I9100XWLPG.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedread:
Do what the post above me says, then if you want you can try using the CF-Root kernel to get root.

Just make sure you read all of it before proceding.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] af12:
just done that - used the I9100XWLPG, and it still says claro, and it's still in a different language and i've got the yellow triangle now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Dude. If you still have the Claro branding, and the only thing that changed is you got the yellow triangle, then

you're doing it wrong

. That means you probably just flashed the CF-root kernel for XWLPG... because if you would have flashed the whole firmware, it would NOT have the yellow triangle, and you would NOT have the Claro branding anymore.

You want the first link. Not the second. The second is if you want to root AFTER you flash the first.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] af12:
is there no 'noob guide to rooting'? i've put it back to stock - but i hate the standard version as there are hardly any options on the pull down menu compared to when i had it rooted.

why are there so many different ways to root sgs2? my iphone gets jailbroken in about 5 minutes and everyone uses the same jailbreak.

is there not just 1 way that most people root it?

do i have to root it to install custom firmware? or can i just install custom firmware?

i've had this phone now for 3 months and not used it at all - as the standard android version is no good in my opinion - compared to everyones screens on here,

The two methods you used are for noobs, but only for noobs willing to spend some time in reading to get slightly better then a noob. Or to put it simple: no, noobs should never root phones :rolleyes:

Stop *****ing.

Because there is always more then one solution to a problem. If solution one does not work, try solution two. If there wore only one you would have been out of luck very soon.

If you just take some time to read and understand rooting a S2 will take less then 2 minutes.

See above.

Root your device.

Stop *****ing once more.

I truly hope this answers your questions :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Hi mate,

I think you're getting wires crossed and getting a bit confused, which I would imagine is easy to do coming from an iphone which is simple and fairly noob proof.

Here is a little info that may help you:

Firmware: This is the OS that runs your phone

Kernel: This sits between your phones OS and the hardware and is basically the middle man that controls everything.

Stock firmware: The firmware made by Google and Samsung to run on Galaxy S2

Custom Firmware/ROM : Made by various developers around the world and all have a unique look, style, features, apps, mods, tweaks etc

Rooting: This is literally just gaining root access on your phone, much like administrator access on a PC instead of logging in as "guest".

By default stock firmware does not have root access as samsung didn't want you changing system settings and things on your phone.

If you install a custom Rom/Firmware then you will gain root access as these have been made without restricting access.

You can stick as close to stock by using a CF-Root kernel, this is a stock kernel just with root access enabled.

You can install a custom kernel and also gain root access but this will not be stock and you will gain many extra features,mods and enhancements.

A few Kernels to try are:

Siyah kernel

N.E.A.K kernel

Speedmod kernel

Search on here there is alot of info.

If you want a complete custom ROM then try these, they are my personal favourites:

SlimRom ICS

Ressurection Remix

Cyanogenmod 9

Cyanogenmod 10

Or for the iphone lover: MIUI

There are many, many more custom ROMS all suiting different needs.

Just google any of these ROMS or search on XDA, you will find a wealth of knowledge!

Read, read and do more reading before taking the jump and flashing anything and always follow instructions EXACTLY.

Have fun and enjoy your new S2, it really is a great device if you understand it :)

best way to get CWM is to flash CF kernel in odin,

Ok, get phone was stock 3.5 kk4 and i did the new easy root method to root & get cwm. I was attempting to give her a little ics, dark knight rom when it failed & stuck in boot loop, then I got cwm to work again to reinstall it, worked successfully then stuck at att splash screen. What should I use now, Odin, hemdell, sledge hammer? Any advice please before i screw it up anymore.

Keep trying your three button combo to get into CWM, you can always revert to a backup, which you did make right...?

I've never used dark knight rom, did you follow their instructions to the teeth? I don't know enough about dark knight rom. For stability use Slim Roms 4.0. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS Slim rom is by far the best rom i have ever encountered.

Hello. I have a U8000 with Aurora 4.0.

I tried to upload a file with 700MB to Google Drive when my smartphone crashed. I restarted it releasing the battery.

When it turned on, the internal memory for applications was almost full. I had to unnistal some applications to free space.

Probably the Google Drive uses the internal memory as cache before uploading the files. I already searched for some big file without luck.

Anyone can tell me the location of the Google Drive cache files?

Thanks in advance.

I won't judge which ROM is better or worst..try it for yourself and feel it..I would say it's pretty stable and fast.this ROM is my daily driver :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cooldoud:
It is a totally different ROM, Rocket ROM is based on Touchwiz framework, and Paranoid on CM9. Both are IMO excellent ROMs (although I haven't tried RR in a while), so whether it's better really depends on what you need!

RR is "better" if you want the Samsung stuff, especially anything related to the stylus like SNote, taking a screenshot with stylus and so on (although alternatives do exist on the CM9 side -- memo app developped using the SPen sdk, quill/papyrus instead of SNote). I'll admit I kind of miss these features since switching to CM9, but the alternatives are getting quite good, and this represents maybe 5% of my usage of the device.

On the other hand, Paranoid is "better" in the sense it has this unique feature that allows you to run your Note as both a phone and a tablet at the same time: to me, this is how the Note needs to truly shine as a "phablet" or whatever you call it these days :)

Hello,

Why does having bluetooth on drain my battery so much? I used to keep it on for my old phone so I wouldn't have to touch anything when I got in the car making it extremely convenient for me. Is there a way around this that some of you guys use besides a widget where you click on it to toggle bluetooth?

Thanks for the help. Please excuse my noob-ness. First time Android user here! Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] eddylee09:
bump.

anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] Miche1asso:
I am investigating the issue myself just now. And I reached a conclusion: the Android battery info chart is misleading. It shows the percentage of time the bluetooth or other devices (like display) are actually on, not the percentage of battery really used.

I used an application to switch the BT on every few minutes and the real battery drain was a nightmare. Now I have been testing it with the BT always on AND connected for nearly 6h. Made few phone calls via bluetooth . Attached are the results. Which are quite good in my opinion. At least compared with before.

PS: nothing. The attachments are not working. Still 19% of battery used in 6 h.
[General Questions and Answers] eddylee09:
So strange. Thanks for posting your results! Hopefully I can just root it and leave my bluetooth on
[General Questions and Answers] Miche1asso:
Why rooting? It isn't necessary. Just leave the BT on. It has been few days now and I didn't see any difference. Which makes sense thinking about it. The PS3 controllers communicate constantly via BT and they last forever. And they have the mechanical rumble. Again, it's just the battery info that is totally misleading.It should report values on the range 0-100% for the time the devices have been active.

[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
"What I'd love to try is using a good, full backup that someone else has

made, and then use my individual partition backups to rewrite the

sections that are unique to my nook. Unfortunately, the torrent containing

the one full backup that someone posted is long dead."

You can boot into CWR, and you can probably pull a copy of the factory.zip file from one of your restored partitions.

But I think that where you are is a fixable point at this time - somehow (perhaps because you restored partition by partition and thus weren't able to get a correct set of names tied to them) the names are wrong on some pretty important partitions - system, data and boot!

The partitions at a very fast glance look OK to me in terms of size, number and order.

This, though:

/dev/sdb5 279M 183M 94M 67% /media/boot

/dev/sdb8 790M 20K 782M 1% /media/boot_

/dev/sdb1 75M 58M 18M 78% /media/boot__

/sdb5 should be /system;

/sdb8 should be /data (I seem to remember that Linux calls it 'userdata' when the disk is mounted)

/sdb1 should be boot -- no terminal underscores.

You can rename the partitions using parted in Linux. I would start there - boot noogie, use linux parted to address the problem with partition 1. Try renaming 5 as system and 8 as userdata (I don't have the output to hand to show you exactly what this will look like in parted)

the syntax at the CLI is

(parted) name 1 boot

(parted) quit

for partition 1 to get the name boot

(but also use the parted print command to look to see what the partitions are being called by the disk. There may be others that need tuning, but it looks as if the df command actually did find out what the disk was calling the partitions, which is helpful.)

gparted may work also, and it's a little less intimidating to use if there's a rename partition command in it.

If you can get it to boot even enough to fail, your restore image should be visible to the device and it will eventually see that it's failed enough times to force a reset.
