Great...go ahead and show him what a bunch of pricks we are here...seriously...its like you people get off by talking **** behind a screen...

Lots of people (including me) buy used phones because they are not up for an upgrade and dont want to pay the ridiculous full price...I fail to see WTF is wrong with that...I do agree that u should make sure its fully funtional before buying it but that aint the way of telling them that

....sorry....it just pisses me off seeing that every new person looking for help here gets talked **** to by the 3rd post.

Don't listen to this guy, he's the one who was asking if face unlock could be done on our phone now that we have Ics.. *facepalm* Obviously he never looked at the settings of his phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thakrew317:
haha thanks everyone and no they didnt offend me at all cause im not a noob but im also not a developer, i just cant get my phone into download mode because of the usb port malfunction i actually didnt know it was bad at the the time only because it still charged and what not but i traded an HD2 for it and was done messing with it, i wanted something new and its going to be new to me also installing this usb port haha so wish me luck i also bought one of those usb jigs off ebay to hopefully get me into download mode, everytime i use my cable it goes straight into stock recovery if it wasnt for that i would be flashing away! ive tried everything getting it into DL mode, also ive tried getting it warrantied but tmboile says ive had too many exchanges ha so im SOL on that one, i had the g2x before the hd2 and suppovsevly according to them its my fault they kept sending me POS phones esp since the g2x has been EOLed i mean cmon. they knew that phone had nothing but problems why still send it to people
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thakrew317:
also if i could like your reply i would cause thats pretty funny, everyone should know face unlock comes with ics especially if you flashing roms and stuff also hes a senior member and is asking about faceunlock on ics? hmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
No problem, also welcome to the community. Hope you are able to fix that usb.

One last thing though, now don't quote me on this, but I remember reading that using the usb cord from a g2x or I think any lg phone would get you into download mode. Not exactly sure how it worked, but I think you turned off the phone, connected the usb to the phone, then to the computer. And then power on the phone and it would take you to dl mode. Not 100% sure but you might want to look into that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
I remember something like that too lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thakrew317:
pretty sure it did also but i was dumb and gave the lg cord away yesterday with my g2x when i traded it thinking my samsung cord would do it when i finally found that and now im stuck ha so now i gotta wait for the usb jig or my usb port which ever comes first, either way im going to have to replace the usb port has troule charging now too i think but heck i got the usb port for 6 bucks off ebay so i cant beat that when i gotta 460 dollar phone that tmobile wants since im not due for upgrade yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thakrew317:
im going to try again later today after i get up and maybe wiggle the cord around and clean the usb port out, its a little dirty, its amazing that some people dont take care of their 600 dollar phones, i was prolly dumb for trading but if i get this usb port fixed im golden also a place down the street will fix it for 30 bucks if i cant

LOL!

To the OP, best of luck and let us know how it goes. There are DIY tutorials a well for usb port repairs.

And as for buying used phones, we must be careful. But otherwise, I say go for it. My SGS2 was purchased used via Craigslist and it's been running great with zero problems. I suggest everyone considering a used purchase visit the xda forum associated with the phone and see what kinds of problems/defects have been common with the phone so you will know what things to look for when you make the buy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Nice, most gs2 should still be under warranty until November
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lisa_sg88:
I have experienced an issue with the Samsung S3 recently. It is regarding the spellcheck or keyboard issue with "i".

Whenever I typed "i" in front of a word, it becomes capitalised.

Let me try to explaIn the best I could.

For example, when I type "The brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", and I missed out the word "quick" in front of "brown", I will place the cursor in front of "brown" and type "quick", the "i" becomes capitalised and becomes "qulck" (Note the captialised "I" in the "qulck").

This is frustrating as at times I need to key in missing words. I have tried on another Galaxy S3 and this is the same. I have tried on Galaxy Note and it has no problems.

I would appreciate if you or other forummer have the same issue.

Would like to know how to resolve it.

Thanks.

You'll have to put your media in interal to solve the duplicate problem. It will always happen. Even with pics

Just curious though why this would only be an issue on AOKP and Google Music for me though, I haven't had an issue with it on cm9 and it only happened once on Sky ICS but if that's the fix then great! Btw I have never had duplicate pics issue, but I have heard of others with it.

So I thought this was an issue with the music being on the external SD card and when removed/re-mounted it caused the Playlist to lose track of the file location. So I decided to move all my music to the internal memory card. And at first everything was working fine, but now I'm getting the "Playback Error: Couldn't play your media". And when I look at the songs, it seems they're all duplicated, eventhough there is nothing on my external SD card.

What gives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
That is a good question. One that I don't think anyone has come up with the answer to yet. I was having the same thing happen on ICS. Stock,AOKP,CM10 it didn't matter. The worst part was that I could figure out how it was happening. As soon as you reboot the phone it will add more duplicates. Some weird bug with media scanner would be my guess. So to fix it I deleted all of the .db files from data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases. Then reboot and give the .db time to rebuild. Now never shut down your phone again. llol If someone finds another fix let me know.

I've switched to AOKP JB and have shut my phone off or rebooted a bunch in the past two days and this is not happening. So the other solution may be just to jump on the JB wagon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SuperJMan2:
No just switch to an older version. The samething happened to me with my phone so I switched to 4.1 something off Play Music and it works again.

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if there is the possibility to change the blinking frequency of the notification led editing a system file or something.

Since the only thing I need is a more frequent blinking, I would like to avoid installing a specific app.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I don't think you can do that without installing an app. If you need that, I recommend lightflow.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tcb4:
Ok so a few weeks ago I got an update to 4.0.4 and then again today I got another update. This update was relatively small(65mbs) and only listed that it removed bugs, however upon installation I found that it removed local search. I personally use local search all the time so this is a disappointment.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dr.m0x:
Blame Apple. Because of them Samsung aren't allowed to sell products with local search in the USA. It's stupid considering local search on the pc has been around since forever. How they were ever allowed to patent such a generic idea is beyond me.

So now your options are to download a European firmware and flash it via Odin, or to root and flash only the Google search app.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jcejohnson:
Would you happen to know the apk?

Edit:

Never mind... Same as the SGS3, grab an GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk from your backup and drop it into /system/app. Be sure to remove or rename GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk then reboot & it's back.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miscrap:
Just installed it. Supposed to be based on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 code.

Had to resize my grid to 8x8 because things weren't fitting onscreen in portrait. Big problem I'm having is I can't access my apps. The apps drawer icon is missing from the top right. The beta installed a Google search bar across the top of the screen. I removed that in Settings, but still no app drawer icon. If I don't figure this out soon I'm going to have to go back to the latest stable version. Is there another way to access the apps drawer?

Edit: Ok, found that if you do a long press on the home screen and go to Apex Actions you get a long list of icons you can add to the screen, including one for the app drawer. You can put it anywhere you like.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
I was using the stock 700mA charger that came with the SGSIII and immediately switched to the 850ma charger as the stock one wasn't giving it enough power to do anything even while charging. Well I just found my 1amp micro usb charger earlier today and have started using that because the 850 wasn't doing the job either with Pandora running while im doing stuff around the house. The S3 charges fine when I'm not messing with it at all but even the 1amp charger isn't keeping this beast completely charged when I'm watching youtube or something like that. Are there any 1.5 to 2amp chargers out there that will keep it from dying so fast even while using it? Thank you for any input you guys can give me :). Oh and by the way I don't have power saving mode on as I can't stand the slowness of my phone and the display on max. When its charging I expect the charger to do its job and thats why I'm asking if a 1.5 or 2amp charger would do better. Thanks everyone.

-Nick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
The S3 limits the input to a little less than 1 AMP, so anything faster is useless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
That's strange because I use my 2amp car charger and it never loses power even when screen brightness is all the way up and navigation is going. Then I switched to my old 700mA charger and it drains really fast. So I'm pretty much confused now hahaha.

[General Questions and Answers] 7thwarrior:
I've tried that before using many tricks or tools, but it always ended with some of the messages not delivered, kindda out of memory error or something like that. my advice is, split it up, says that you want to send to 100 contacts, send it to 20 first, so you have to do it 5 times :)

How about just tapping menu, compose, then on the recipient field type a comma after every contact and insert another contact...? Somewhat tedious but its just like an email. There is auto complete when typing in part of someones name

[Samsung Captivate Glide] ummkiper:
Has anyone else had this issue?I woke up this morning and my captivate glide was acting weird after i unplugged it from my usb.it doesnt seem to recognize when im holding or dragging something.sometimes i can click to open things but when i try to remove something from the home screen it drops it back before i can drag it to the trash can.now the funny thing is when i put it on a charger( usb or wall charger) the touch response is fine soon as i unplug it it gets finicky again.

Any input is appreciated.I will buy another battery and try that before I decide to replace the digitizer.but it was working perfectly fine till this morning.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Mes3:
Reboot didn't fix it? Usually the opposite of what your having happens (USB cable not being properly grounded).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ummkiper:
Nope,reboot didn't,factory reset didn't.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
recalibrate?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ummkiper:
I tried but nothing in the play store for screen calibration.On another note, i noticed the lower the battery gets the worse the sensitivity is.ie charging it works perfect,unplugged at 100% it works perfect but as the battery drains i can barely drag the notifications bar or an icon on the home screens.at about 50% i can click things but not drag them,and now its at 24% and working perfect.I left it on all day while at work with wifi and facebook plus other things running.Honestly i dont get it.And I've been repairing phones for a few years now.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Try: drain the battery to 50% or so, then pull the battery out and set aside for five minutes or so. Then put it all back together and start it back up. Do not plug it in until it's fully booted and you've used your phone for a while, just in case.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ummkiper:

[Blade General] aidwiz:
hi,

can't seem to find the answer on any thread or maybe my forum searching skill is not adequate enough.

i have a problem.

my blade is gen2. comes with a stock 2.3.5 version of android.

here are the details that i have pulled out from the information status screen; which might be of useful information to correct my problem.

p729b01

2.3.5

zte-kernel@Zdroid-SMT

Kernel 2.6.35.7-perf+

build number zte-bladev1.0.0b02

tried both swedish snow and cyanogenmod7 but still the problem persists. the blade can't search for any networks manually or automatically.

no problem with the original supplied android system.

i followed the usual steps: install clockwordmod, put image into root of sdcard, wipe cache, wipe system, install image, and system boots successfully. the only problem is the network problem.

what am i doing wrong? :confused:

Use only Blade checker from market

Sent from my Idea Blade
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
Yeah, you can use the MMHP patch for Swedish Snow and the "CM9" (from the KonstaKANG thread on modaco) gen3 patch for any version of CM.

It's as easy as flashing it with CWM and rebooting and your gen3 phone will work just fine.

Do NOT try the various TPT's though, at least not without an sdcard with the original rom in the /image/image.bin because it probably won't work and you'll end up with a messed up screen (depending on which one you use it'll be different but the usual is a blue screen with vertical white stripes across it) just like i did when i tried the various ones.

The only TPT i've found that works is the windows gen3 TPT which also unlocks the phone but unless you're looking to unlock your phone there is really no reason to use it since it's got the same partition setup as original.

As rahulsa said, use Blade checker instead and it'll report it as a gen3.
