Hello All,

Yesterday I was browsing my S II, I renamed the folder named "Samsung" which had all my data to "MyData", now I can't find that folder, also the music application shows nothing.

Seems that the "Samsung" folder is a system folder or something like that and i shouldn't have renamed it.

So is there any way to restore the data in LOST.DIR back again? Appreciate your help :)

It is unknown. But it is near.

*We already reported yesterday that the Samsung Galaxy S2 Jelly Bean update is already being tested, so this surely means that the S3 will most definitely be on the list next, if we look over at Sam Mobile they suggest an September launch or we could indeed see it as early as August.*

[Transformer TF300T General] steverg:
I am travelling for 6 weeks very soon and my TF300t is my source of interaction with the world..

Only issue i have is, it doesn't charge via usb unless its plugged in via wall..

The planes support USB but it's not much use if i can't charge my tablet whilst watching a movie..

Anyone got any suggestions to get around this problem?
[Transformer TF300T General] sporez:
Pretty sure in order to charge via regular USB you have to have the tablet powered down. And it would be a slow charge.
[Transformer TF300T General] allram:
it charges from USB but ONLY if the screen is off :)
[Transformer TF300T General] al89nut:
And it is slow, but it does charge.
[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
The user manual states that the tablet does not charge via USB while turned on.

The truth is that it does charge with the screen on, but like others say, it's excruciatingly slow. Think 10% every two hours at best.
[Transformer TF300T General] bilange:
The real issue is that recent tablets consume more energy than what the USB ports can provide. Check this wikipedia page, and consider this:

The following "benchmark" (vaguely speaking) were done while driving, using the same power source (cigarette plug to USB converter, outputs 1.0 A):

- I had an HTC Hero (Single core, ~520 MHz) which could be charged with any work load on the phone (gps on with Maps/Navigation, while talking and using data while using the CPU at 100%). At worst it was simply charging slowly. Usually I had no issues with charging speed

- When I switched to a Galaxy S2 (Dual-core 1.2-1.4 GHz), I noticed I couldnt use Navigation (implying GPS here) and playback streamed MP3s over 3G anymore and expect the phone to be charged in the process. Over a ~1:15h drive, a fully charged phone lost ~15% if not more of battery charge.

My first big GS2 trip was one where I did the whole thing over Naviation with GPS in car, with local MP3 being played back. I had to pick up somebody when I had done 3 hours of driving, and I noticed that somehow I had around 50% battery left, and I made sure it was fully charged before leaving. Later the same day, I had more Navigation and GPS usage coming up (an additional 7 hours trip). So I used only Navigation/GPS, to attempt charging, and I could get it back from 30% to 70-80%.

Mind you, that was over a STOCK Samsung Android installation, maybe that wasnt optimized for battery consumption!

Even though I dont have any spec numbers and such, it's only normal that your quad-core tegra 3 can't be charged over USB. That being said, with the screen off and the tablet idle, you can still charge the tablet (like others mentioned), since apparently there is an additional, slower but less power hungry core being actively used while the tablet doesn't have alot of things to process. Read this wikipedia article.

EDIT: I am also often in either fastboot or recovery mode on my TF300 these days, and after a few hours "idle" in either recovery or fastboot, I noticed the battery indicator was in the 75-80% range the next time I booted Android... and thats with the device plugged in the whole time! My guess is that recovery/fastboot doesn't use (or recognize) that additional low power core. Either way, sorry for my ramblings, and mods, sorry for my over 9000 edits :)

I think this is explained in the manual that came with the tablet. Might want to refer there!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] log0r:
Hey guys, long time reader first time poster!

Having to do so as I have trouble with my Motorola Defy running Pikachu edition. I purchased the defy as a vodafone NZ phone (so should be 900mhz extended) however all the 900mhz basebands I have tried in the baseband switcher do not get me a signal when outside of the city's (Auckland) 2100mhz coverage. I can retrieve SMS briefly when I am on the Thailand 900/2100 baseband.

My first question is, am I doing something wrong? has anybody else in New Zealand had this issue with a device for the correct network?

My second question is - without the original packaging is there ANY other way of telling if my radio chipset is 850mhz or 900mhz or the extended network coverage? It has a red camera if that helps anyone offer information?

Thanks for any advice!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notes1:
I have the same problem after moving to cm9.

I use Central Europe 3.4.x here but need an answer for next trip out of Auckland.

Vodafone is supposed to be 900/1800 gsm 2g and 900/2100 umts 3g.

EDIT : On one of my defys boxes (not sure which one ) it says :

WDCDMA 850/2100 GSM 850/900/1800/1900

Hope that helps, I'll let you know if I work it out but I'm rarely out of town
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naleyb01:
Hey mate, Fellow NZ'er here from Auckland.

Actually had this problem for the first time the other day using CM10 not the pikachu rom.

I ended up switching my baseband to the Australia 900/2100 mhz one and problems were solved but before that i did use the central europe one mentioned above. (not sure what options you have on your current rom however)

go onto "gsmarena" website and look up the motorola defy and you can see all the specifications.

sorry cant post links yet until i have 10 posts made :o

Hey guys thanks for all the info so far! I'll be honest I tried the Australia Optus one, amongst every single one and honestly getting nothing? Hmm, it's not the latest version of pikachu so I might try the latest Xy edition next... otherwise has anyone had luck with MS2Ginger or other roms in NZ? this is pretty frustrating :/
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naleyb01:
Maybe its time to revert back to the stock sbf using rsdlite, root again, then flash the rom of your choice eg Pikachu last build.

Because reverting back to the stock settings is possibly the easiest way to solve this problem of yours.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] log0r:
Hi Naley, Thanks heaps for your reply! As I will google what you are talking about tomorrow when I get a chance, but to be honest I have mostly played/flashed SGS and am new to this Defy... I purchased it 2nd hand with CM7 or the likes already on it (can't remember now)... so don't have any backup of original VFNZ rom etc - am I still able to return to original? I am more than happy to do so if you can point me in the right direction?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naleyb01:
Basic guide to Flashing roms

Well first of all, before you do anything at all, here is the Defy wiki page. This should give you all the information you need:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy

1) You need to know what to do if you screw up the rom flashing process and get a boot loop.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537

Now you just have to select the correct "SBF " file.

For me I will use the GB (great britain) or Uk (united Kingdon) SBF files.

And there should be a guide on the wiki page OR the sbf page which will tell you how to do it.

Learn this and install the "rsdlite" software on your computer before you even think about doing anything to your phone

2) Now because you are already rooted and using CM7, the hard part is over.

To flash a new rom it is the same process as any android phone, with CM7 just hold down power button and reboot to recovery. (manual recovery is explained on the wiki page)

3) Find out what lens you have (green or red)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116694

4) Rom selection - I'm sure i can leave you to finding the rom of your choice.

Just follow the instructions for the specific rom that you want according to your lens type.

NOTE: Green lens = Froyo Kernal, Red Lens = GB Kernal & Defy+ builds.

5) Main steps for flashing a rom

1) Boot into recovery

2) Wipe data/cache & Dalvik cache

3) install zip from sd card (Rom & Google apps)

4) Wipe Dalvik Cache

5) Reboot (This can take up to 5mins with some roms, if longer just pull battery and reboot and it will boot properly the second time)

Maybe a lot of this stuff you already know from your SGS days, but just thought i would have a more or less complete guide just in case :)

One last note about the original stock Android 2.2 sbf rom.

Its buggy as hell.

You really want to avoid it, but the 2.1 is okay so if you downgrade then go to the Android 2.1 Sbf.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notes1:
Defy bootloader is locked, so read the wiki (and previous post) cos its all a bit more complicated than most other phones!

Your already set up with clockwork by the sound of it though, so sbf will only be used in case of brick.

I've seen a telecom sbf, the only nz sbf afaik... No Vodafone or 2degrees available. So, if you do a factory reset and it's a Vodafone rom, could you please create (and upload) a nandroid backup!!

I don't have one, my 'stock' is Nordic froyo. It'd be nice to set up a kiwi stock if I sell one of my defys.

I don't recall having the acountryside connection trouble with ms2ginger or CM7.2 (a very nice rom, smooth and well tested.).

CM10 (based on jelly bean) Will be best once the last bugs are out.

MB525 Quarx2k CM10: 30th July
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naleyb01:
Vodafone NZ don't offer motorola phones at all due to there being no local service centre so there will be no vodafone build.

Telecom do have the defy but it runs on a different network so I think we can omit telecom roms.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] log0r:
Hi Notes, thanks for all your info! I like to think I'm pretty good at this stuff but heck the Defy is confusing me a little! I know I purchased my phone with CM7 already on it, and I just installed the pikachu zip and ran it etc no problems... now to go back, are you telling me that I can return to the original Vodafone rom without downloading any SBF etc? as in it's still in there? If so (I have read the wiki!) I am still a little confused how, or at least how to confirm my CG number etc... would you explain a tiny bit or give me a step by step?

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naleyb01:
No you can't go back to the original vodafone rom by just doing a full wipe, the only way is going to be flashing the sbf for the original firmware.

It's the easiest thing to do IMO.

1) Download rsdlite and install.

2) Download SBF file.

3) Follow sbf instructions which in simple are -

enter bootloader mode, connect via usb, rsdlite will detect your phone, select your sbf file, and then with one click your software is installed in front of you

The only trouble that can occur sometimes is that your phone is not recognised by rsdlite... I think the best thing to do is connect your phone by "portal" mode in the usb connection options and make sure the drivers install correctly on your computer first just to be safe. But it shouldn't matter.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notes1:
All 900/2100 basebands I tried failed to connect in the country. :(

No Vodafone sbf, that's the problem... If it's simply a baseband changer problem. Wierd

NZ Telecom Defy+ SBF

Hey Bros!

Its cool to see some kiwis on XDA!

Anyway, I had a NZ-related question.

I have a telecom Defy red lense, I am on jelly bean, but have bought a Motorola Droid Razr that I am switching to.

What defy+ gb sbf should I flash for telecom defy?

Thanks guys! :laugh:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notes1:
There is a telecoms nz sbf. I think it was just froyo though.

I'm running a cm10 jelly defy MB525 red lens. only works on 2g with china baseband 850/2100. But I'm on 2degrees, Shouldn't I be using 900/2100? Problem is I cant seems to get any baseband with these frequencies to work.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logannz:
Hey, I am on 2degrees and have a Motorola Defy bought from Telecom NZ running WIUI and can't seem to get it to run on 900/2100 UMTS properly. I know 2degrees has 900 UMTS in our area cause it works fine on my LG Optimus Black. I changed the baseband to Optus Australia but GSM stopped working and I can only get a UMTS signal, this happened in many other basebands too. I gave up and just left it on the Telstra Australia baseband as that seems to be the only one that will work with no problems apart from the fact I can't get 900 UMTS
[Blade General] ontherocks62:
A feature I wanted badly on the stock FM radio was, to be able to output audio through the speakers. The stock FM radio does have a speaker icon, but clicking that doesn't do anything. Then I found another phone (non Blade) in which the speaker icon in the stock FM radio,actually worked (i.e. audio was output through the speakers).

So I extracted the stock FM radio apk from that phone, uninstalled the stock FM radio in my blade and tried it to install the extracted apk as a system app in my blade. However that apk, doesn't install. Why is it not installing? Attached is the extracted apk.

Is it incompatible with the Blade hardware?
[Blade General] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
If you grabbed it from the system partition on another phone it cannot be installed normaly. You have to drop it to /system/app with a file manager with root permission (Solid Explorer / Root Explorer) and set the correct permission in order to make it runnable ( -rw-r--r-- or 644). Then reboot your phone and it should be visible on your drawer.

Before messing up with /system partition, i suggest you to do a nandroid backup from CWM, just in case something will go wrong.

Beware, the FM Radio chipset in the blade is not so common (We don't have neither CM9 support, neither Spirit FM support) so chance that your apk won't work are very high.
[Blade General] ontherocks62:
Did exactly what you have mentioned, when I said I installed it as a system app. It just doesn't appear in drawer.
[Blade General] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
Don't really know what to say then... Maybe it's not compatible with the blade (did you get it from an ARMv7 phone?)
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
Hardware is specific, drivers for hardware is specific, software that use drivers for hardware won't work if the hardware doesn't even exist on the phone you're trying to run it on, how is this surprising to you?

It's like someone complaining about how Itunes won't install his apps from his Iphone to his new Android phone.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Doesn't really matter what the instruction set is, the FM radio chip isn't part of the instruction set or the chipset, it's individual from phone to phone, not even all ZTE blades use the same FM radio chips so if he's just taking an app from some other random phone without even checking if it's the same hardware it will try to output to ports that don't exist and start drivers that aren't there.

There is nothing strange about it not working, if it had been working that would be pure magic and i do mean that as in the supernatural would have had to come into the world and magically install the right hardware and drivers for his phone to work with that software.
[Blade General] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
I know it, but he's saying that the app doesn't even shows up in the drawer.. We're a step behind the "Does it works" thing, ontherocks62 is asking about why the app doesn't even install, and AFAIK an app normally install itself even if it's not compatible with hardware/instruction set/whatever (it just will crash when you open it).
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
I would get your point if there was a requirement in android where system apps had to show up in the drawer (take a look at ALL the system apps on your phone, how many do you have in your drawer?)

Yes, setting the permissions should enable him to see it and he probably can if he goes to settings - > apps -> all apps and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it is started as a system service too.

You can't just put anything in there and expect your phone to know what to do with it.

It'd be like throwing a can of nitrous in your engine bay and wonder where the button to use it is in your driver compartment.

uploading more battery icons if someone is willing to help make theme for me or at the very least explain how to mod current criskelo or king droid themes to include them
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] trinev:
I like the fact that you thing this is easy, theming is really very complicated and hard to get done, its not just about replacing icons, yo need thousands of hours working on photosop, learn how to deconplie and compile apk's properly, working with hundreds of tiny little images till the puzzle is all done, and certainly not something that can be taught in afew post, so go google and learn by yourself, there is enought info out there
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] 25gove1985:
i never said nor did i imply that theming was easy i was just asking if someone could include these battery icons in a theme that is being made or has already been made for the roms that i use as it is out of my league at the present time if it was as simple as replacing icons i would have used an app for that i recognise the hard work that developers on here do and while i do apreciate it i dont think its wrong to ask for help or suggest someone use the icons that i have posted in their next theme

[Asus Transformer TF700] dalingrin:
Try forcing 2D acceleration under Developer Settings. I think its called "Force GPU rendering." I don't have my TF700 yet but this helps Netflix on all other devices. It won't be silky smooth but it easily doubles the frame rate on my TF201.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
...but has been said to generally slow down the system, although it's theoretically meant just for older APIs, at least the benchmarks show considerably lower results when it's on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fahrenheit85:
Thanks i just it back off. Hope netflix gets its self together soon
[Asus Transformer TF700] dalingrin:
It doesn't slow down your system. I'm sure benchmarks not made with it in mind will have lower scores but who cares? It improves the performance for many apps and that is what matters. It shouldn't affect 3D games as this setting only affects Android UI widgets.

The only real down side is that there might be an app or two out there that's not compatible with the forced GPU rendering(hence why its disabled by default). I personally have never run into an app that had issues but an app that extensively uses custom widgets potentially could.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Codesworth:
I have noticed the same issue. The app is unusable as is...
[Asus Transformer TF700] madsquabbles:
yep, this faster product is worse than my archos 10.1 in netflix navigation. good thing there are queue managers to take care of this problem. i hated the day netflix went from a text based instant queue to this pretty shiny crappy picture list.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tlbradshaw:
We had this problem on the prime too. Forcing GPU redering seemed to help, but I can say it doesn't seem to help on the infinity. What finally solved it was an update from Netflix. Worked smooth as butter after that. I'm really surprised to see it so slow on the infinity.
