[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. To retrieve your contacts or view them, visit Google.com/contacts and login your hole details. You can also sync them too ur New phone.

Access Google calendar online, to see your calendar info

2. I'm not sure how you can proceed with backing up your new apps since you said phone is working but unusable but the options below will work fine in getting back your apps on your next phone without rooting your new device.

I). Though Google Playstore:

When you log in your Google account on your new phone, open playstore, go to my apps and swipe to the next page too view all.

All, will show all the apps you have ever installed or updated via playstore. You can simply reinstall them one by one.

Note that you will need a lot of data so Wi-Fi is recommended.

ii) via ADB: this will work only if usb debugging was enabled under development option. And you have access to a pc. Root access May also be helpful.

You can use ADB to copy all your presently installed app's apks and even your titanium backup folder or any other folder to your Pc

More info on this will follow based on your response.

iii) MTP mode: this will work if MTP mode and not mass storage mode was previously enabled on your phone.

Simply connect your device via usb to ur pc and start copying your files especially your titanium folder, since your question is about apps.

iv) Titanium backup folder:

If you have a copy of your titanium backup folder, then all is well

Personally, I will galaxy Siii or NoteII if you have the patience.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamensterms:
Thank for the help guys.

Kies did allow me to retrieve those few un-synced numbers.

And the "my apps" list is a great way to see and reinstall past apps. Not sure if I will be able to root my new phone (Xperia S), so if I cannot get to the Titanium Backup data, this looks like the next best thing.

Thanks again guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winwiz:
Weird problem with my phone chaps, can you please help?

I can flash CM9 & CM10 with no issues. I can flash it via restore (CWM) or through a wipe.

I can flash CheckROM V4 Via ODIN with no issues, but I am unable to flash anything I download through the kitchen. I get a bootloop or it gets stuck at the Boot up Samsung logo.

Similarly, I am unable to flash any other ROM apart from CM9/CM10 via recovery. It gets stuck at the boot logo. I've wiped all the caches, and even tried to flash checkrom via Odin to see if this resolves the issues, but unfortunately not.

Is this a case of flashing an original Samsung ROM, then re-rooting and starting over?

I will be grateful if anyone can offer some assistance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yldlj:
Are you doing a full wipe factory reset in recovery before flashing a ROM? you mentioned you wiped cache thats it

flashed a stock ROM and I am stuck on the samsung boot screen

any tips pleasE?

I've got the stock recovery on now, shall I flash a custom recovery, wipe system and start again??

Update: Used the stock recovery to wipe and its now booted :)

Flashed custom ROM - Criskelo and back to square one. Freezing at boot logo.

Any advice please guys
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Start by following the instructions in full regarding a wipe first .

That does not work redownload the rom or try another rom .

[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Not the case in my experience I have a 64gig sd and it still gave me that error
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
I have had that error over and over and over and over and over...

reinstalled 10 times and a different problem everytime, once it works it doesn't complete the install.

nothing seems to work, been trying adrenaline and miui, but same error, log calls for edit.sh and it didn't have the correct permission to execute, so i changed it and still same error.

emailed the devs, no response. all i can say is I am extremely glad I didn't waste any money on this crappy app.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I've never made it work on external SD. It will always fail with that error message. It works great on internal for me. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the SD card class (I'm using a class 4), but I only need two slots (Phone ROM and slot 1), so I'm fine with using internal for it.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Internal works for me too, external.. No bueno.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
I only had that issue once when trying to use that app. All I did to fix it was go into Superuser Settings and disable logging like the app site says, and it worked from there on perfectly. In fact I'm still using it.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
I forgot that part! True.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
well I got that error constantly when I had even 4gb left on my internal but after deleting some things it worked fine
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
I will try internal, but for some reason I can't use usb file transfer, it always says insert disk, but uninstall and it works fine.

My sdcard is almost completely empty and su has logging off and grant set, only toast enabled.

hope it works and I can use the mount as disk again.

Edit:

wow my first install complete! using a nandroid, thanks for the tip.

I retract calling this app crappy.

That should get you the best Close-To-Stock experience. I ran it for a while before recently switching to CM10.

I can always go back to GB but then what? Trying to get to Helly Bean...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yomaster91:
With the phone off, try holding down both the volume rocker buttons and then plugging in your USB cable while it's connected to your PC. That's what worked for me when I bootlooped last night after trying to install Helly Bean, followed by a failed firmware flash in Odin.

If that doesn't work, try each button individually...?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerankas:
Yeah, eventually tried just vol+ and power and got to recovery. Helly Bean is installed, just working on getting mobile service back...

I'm on Rogers and there's a break in my understanding somewhere, I think I was running an i9000 bootloader (kernel? something...) so when I installed the HellyBean all in one, I ended up with the i9000 version, not i897. Which, i suppose is ok, as long as I can get a modem working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
As strange as it sounds Google SoggyCashew and the first result should take you to a site for captivate modems. If you are on ICS or JB the only ones you'll be able to use are the CM7 modems. Also before you flash anything go into settings > about phone and see what it says next to baseband. If it says unknown you are currently without a modem and will need to find one that works from the available list.

I don't know which one will be best but the site has a map that shows different locations and what modem worked for someone there. Also its as simple as downloading it and flashing it through cwm.

Additionally keep in mind that the modem affects the GPS also and just because you have carrier signal doesn't mean your GPS will be worth a crap. Trial and error is the only way to find a happy medium.

Hey Guys,

I'm running on Slim Bean 2.0 and i'm living in Austria. My provider is Bob, which uses the A1 Network, therefore i would need to activate national roaming.

I'm also living near to Switzerland, so normal data roaming is no option for me, because i often get connectet to a swiss network...

Now there is no "National Roaming" option in my Rom (I would have posted in the "Slim Beam"-Thread, but because thats my first post on xda, i'm not allowed to post in the development section :( )

I already found some older threads, which told me to edit the spn-conf.xml in system/etc, but i couldn't even find this file on my phone.

My next step was to copy the "spn-conf.xml" file from cm10 to my phone and add the specific code line for my provider to the file.

But, that didn't change anything.

Hope somebody can help me, and sorry for my bad english ;)

No solutions for now as we have to wait cm team include this in there ROM or any other developer include this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
I was on Bob in Austria. It's an MVNO -- mobile virtual network, so solutions are sorta buried if you're not using that in your search, and afaik, they're posts about ICS.

On ICS, I got rid of the 'R' icon by using the Nexus S modems KF1 and KB3 (legitimately usable on an SGS; see pwneman's thread). No need to tick 'national roaming'. There's also a patch that will fix it for other modems too, if you want to use something different. Never used that, but it's somewhere in the i9000 forums.

side note re Bob: I got great data speeds with KF1 in Graz. Most of Steiermark seemed better with KF1, but I think KB3 was better in Tirol.

EDIT: I meant to say, maybe this will work on JB too. I can't test it, as I'm no longer on an MVNO.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jose_Paramore:
KF1 modem doesn't work very well for me... I'll wait for the cmteam to implement "national data roaming" option

Enviado desde mi GT-I9000 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
Ah, that's a bummer. So, when you say it doesn't work well -- does the 'R' Icon still show? Do you have a signal? I'm assuming you also weren't charging or USB connected when you flashed, right? If you've got KF1 there with some bars, you could try flashing to KB3, and see if that makes a difference.

I've also noticed some differences in how KF1 works on CM10 as opposed to ICS, but it's hard for me to gauge because I was in different countries. On ICS, these Nexus modems would toggle 3G when inactive, and HSDPA when active. Pretty neat, and presumably saves some battery. But this doesn't happen on CM10. Guess this could be another difference too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jose_Paramore:
The R icon doesn't show but I get very low signal and it is difficult to switch from 2g to 3g with kf1 (it takes too much time)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L0kiii:
Same story as with ICS, where the spn-conf.xml did not work either (GB only). The gnexus rom had some patch built in, but the best (and only?) solution is for a developer to include the national roaming option as erpurohit mentioned.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenrw:
Hmm looks like there's no solution available for me atm, so i'm back at ICS and i will wait until cm10 will it have included :p

It'll take some searching to find your MCC and MNC (well, except for this thread OP). I talked to Tiwag once about it, when I was also using Bob, but then I started using the Nexus modems. This seemed to work for several people on ICS.

Hi can anyone give a definitive answer whether the GS2 is capable of magnetic sleep / wake function?

I would have assumed it isn't.. but:

I just got a Nexus 7 tablet and a case that wakes device when opened and puts device to sleep when closed. Magnets innit. Simples..

So I thought "oh, I wonder if my S2 does that.."

tap tap tap

A seller on Amazon has this:

iTALKonline PADWEAR ADVANCED Executive BLACK Wallet Case/Cover/Stand With SMART TILT and with Magnetic Sleep Wake Sensor Feature For Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II S2

(I'm not allowed to post links yet..)

Now perhaps this was a foolish assumption, although IMO it really shouldn't be, but I figure if they sell a case with the feature, surely thats a reasonable indicator that the feature exists?

Why don't you get a magnet and try, then report your findings :)

[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
I searched the whole internet, but can't find any solution for my problem.

I have auto brightness enabled, but it only works one way. It's highering the brightness but then, when light conditions are darker it doesn't dim the screen down but it does turns off the lights of the capacitive buttons and keyboard...

How can I get this device lowering the brightness automatically?

Can someone help?

I am running stock, deodexed, rooted 5.7.894

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Try running a different ROM. I think the 894 was the original ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
5.5.959 was the original, IIRC. 5.7.894 was a leak that was never pushed OTA. 5.7.906 and 5.6.890 are the only pushed OTAs, 5.7.906 being the latest. Go Settings > About Phone > Software Update and DL the 906 OTA.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Erhm, ... thanks for your advice, but it's not my intention to update the firmware due to many mods I applied which are not working anymore in 5.7.906, the Atrix Camera and FM Radio app for example...

Can at lease anybody confirm this auto brightness behavior?
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Autobrightness works fine for me. Rooted stock 906 on XT862.

Do you have something covering the light sensor in the upper right? To the left of the camera and LED?
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Autobrightness works for me too, BUT its just highering the brightness, it's not dimming when it gets darker. ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I guess I should have been more clear - autobrightness does both on my phone, so the functionality is running fine on my stock, rooted 906. In fact, it has always been fine on my phone.

Since you are rooted, you could try a few things: install Clockwork Recovery, or Safestrap recovery, if you have not already, and run a Nandroid backup and then try a factory reset to see if that solves the issue (if it does not, that was the point for the backup; you can then Nandroid restore back to where you are now.) Or you can use Titanium Backup to backup your third party apps, try a factory reset and them use TiBu to restore apps to get your apps set up again and see if that solves the problem.
