[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigalisk:
since we're talking about problems, my SGSII (SHW-M250K, olleh KT) decided that after the update to ICS 4.0.3, it would stop reading my SIM card. I'm going to try going back to Gingerbread to make sure that the USIM isn't completely screwed because its also an NFC USIM authenticator. The SHW-M250x series is probably one of the most unique of the SGS2 family, because they are only sold in Korea, Hong Kong (and Malaysia i think). And i have lost sleep so let me put this in here right now for anyone that has an SHW-M250x series:

THERE IS NO ROM SUPPORT/ROOT KERNEL SUPPORT FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S II ORIGINATING FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA - BEST BET IS TO FIND A GT-I9100 OR WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET OFF THEIR KEISTER TO BUILD ONE FOR THE M250x SERIES.

I will post later with details if the USIM is busted due to the update.

Samsung Galaxy S II (SHW-M250K, KT olleh)

Android Stock (ICS 4.0.3)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KcLKcL:
I'm in Indonesia (which is in SouthEast Asia) and my S II is rooted.

People sell GT-I9100 here anyway. But not in East Asia.

I'm using Neat ROM Lite. You could check it out. There is no such thing as the "best ROM" so you've gotta search for one that suits you best :)

S2 ics 4.0.3 have many bugs so i rooted my device and changed my kernel to siyah kernel.Now no issue so far.

Just root your device and change your kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportynumair:
Can you please explain how can i install the siyah kernel?

MX player not working

After using several roms i finally decided to install the official firmware , but my videos are not showing in MXplayer. Although videos work fine in stock player but i'm obessesd with MXplayer , so anyone can help me rectify the problem

#thanksInAdvance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ares05:
Download the correct S2 tar file from here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ and flash using Odin. You could check out videos on YouTube on how exactly to use Odin. Its pretty simple.

Have you tried wiping the cache and clearing the data of the app?

I haven't used MX player before so not sure if this will work, you could give it a go.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bodisson:
Hmmm.... I have upgraded via Kies from GB to ICS without rooting or wiping phone.

I did factory reset, but because my stupidity, not because bugs (I have deleted something I didn't know how else to bring back).

Phone still works smooth and without glitches...

Not sure this helps in any way, but this is third official ROM since ICS was introduced here...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ares05:
Its that factory reset that saved you the problems I guess :) most of us upgrade via Kies without any data wipe or factory reset and this sometimes causes problems - apps or processes force closing stuff like that.

I've heard many experts state the same thing- factory reset, data wipe, clear cache when moving from GB to ICS.

Using Custom Roms depend on your personal preference and usage. I have been using Resurrection Remix for quite a long time until I came across an article that stated ReVolt Rom as sooper cool. I have been using it from then. Its fast and the most stable JellyBean Rom out there as well as battery friendly.

I would suggest you to install that and check..

There is some issue with the MXPlayer that I too have been facing oflate. It doesnt play the sound for certain video filetypes like mkv or avi. Try using some other video player, MoboPlayer or VLC Player should be a good choice (though MXPlayer was too good to be left behind).
[Defy General] R_AL_Sim:
Hi everyone

I need defy users to help me decide on my next phone as upgrade time is here and I need to upgrade or move to another provider I'm currently with orange UK and all they have as upgrades are iphones and Samsung galaxies but I like how tough my defy is and don't want to upgrade for these reasons.

the Samsung galaxy sIII has gorilla glass v2 on it but i want the ip rating has anyone else here had the same issue with moving from the defy as the UK providers dont seem to have any tough phones.

I love the defy to bits its perfect for me I can take it out on the boat get it hammered in waves and still use it, use it in the british weather, go fishing with it the only downside is how the touch screen jumps all over the place when its wet I'm currently running jelly bean nightly builds on the gingerbread kernel with a defy MB525 with red lens and its a great phone with great dev support.

I've only ever owned two android phones the G1 and the defy all other phones were windows mobile htc phones and by the time my contract was up the phones i previosly owned were battered had bits replaced or hacked to get working again but the defy has lasted me through an entire 18 month contract perfectly intact its an ace phone.

the only thing i've had to fix on the defy were the battery terminals in the battery as they became loose and when you unplugged the usb it gave the phone enough of a shake to make the phone reboot took me a while to work out that, I thought it was a software issue at first :)

can any other defy users give me some ideas what to replace the defy with
[Defy General] zakoo2:
sony xperia acro s: dual core 1.5ghz cpu (qualcomm msm8260), adreno 220 gpu, 1gb ram, 16gb rom, microsdhc, 4.3" 720*1280 reality display, 12mp cam, hspa+, 1910mah batt, IP57 certificate

this is without a doubt my next phone...
[Defy General] R_AL_Sim:
that looks ace its not out yet is it? I thought that was out in the Q4 of this year in the UK I'm probably wrong but orange dont have it yet but having said that orange have very few new phones :)
[Defy General] R_AL_Sim:
Ah so that means its not as tough as the defy then.

Gutted maybe I should stick with the defy and see if I can reduce the cost of my contract
[Defy General] zakoo2:
jesus, good job at misleading people... -.-

the defy+ is IP67, the acro s is IP57, meaning:

defy+: Totally protected against dust, Protected against the effect of immersion between 15 cm and 1 m

acro s: Protected against dust; limited ingress (no harmful deposit), Protected against the effect of immersion between 15 cm and 1 m

so they are both protected against water the same amount, only difference is dust... so i would say they are equally tough... and the acro s is waaay better than the defy...
[Defy General] Aslolo:
What about the guerilla glass?

Send from my Schweizer Taschenlaser
[Defy General] zakoo2:
i doesnt have gorilla glass, i give you that. but its scratch resistant, and has wet finger tracking...
[Defy General] R_AL_Sim:
wet finger tracking how does that work on a capacitive screen interesting or does it use a resonance touch screen??

I can live with out it being dust proof but still the defy when overclocked to defy+ spec is an ace phone and for features vs price you cant really beat it, like I said earlier its the only phone that lasted me a full 18 month contract without me replacing the speaker, screen, buttons and battery and i've never once had to dry it out, my old phone i had to leave in bags of rice after going out sometimes :)

I cant be bothered having two phones one for going out and the other for everyday use I hated it when i had two phones due to work I cant stand that :)

the only downside to the defy were the socket caps but I'd live with that compared to having to waste a day fixing a phone after abusing it also you dont need to use the headphone cap ever if you get bluetooth stereo headphones

I've seen some other tough android devices out there like the JCB phone but thats to tough for me i only really need the waterproofing and scratch proof plus i want to be able to get it through a typical provider like orange/tmobile o2/vodafone
[Defy General] zakoo2:
it does have capacitive touch screen, i dont know how it has wet finger tracking, its a new technology i guess...

about the defy... it really is a good phone, but now its a low-end device... if you want to replace it, you probably want an up-to-date hardware, and a single-core 1ghz cpu and 512mb ram hardly fits that criteria.

im not arguing with you, the defy is unbeatable with its performance/price ratio, but its a locked device with very poor software support.

sony has enabled unlocking the bootloader on the new xperia series, they will probably will do that with the next gen too.

i cant really pick any other device as the successor, just the acro s. it will probably be quite expensive, but its sony, so its worth the money.
[Defy General] R_AL_Sim:
the wet finger :) its the selling point for me does anyone know the actual release date for the uk
[Defy General] zakoo2:
so far we only know that in q3 2012...
[Defy General] NickAJ:
If your phone is still working you can always go onto a rolling contract or PAYG and keep your Defy. I found a call to the retentions department got me a 30 day contract, 325 mins, 150 texts, 750MB Internet, free BT Wifi, free Orange / Orange calls for £ 10 + VAT. I do like Orange now they have combined the network with T-Mobile as I can get a signal virtually anywhere.

Your other option is GiffGaff which uses the O2 network for £10 / month 250 mins, unltd texts and web.

Then take your time and choose your next phone.
[Defy General] hsrars-d:
Q: Whats replacing the Defy as a tough phone?

A: Nothing can replace Defy as a tough phone.
[Defy General] brandmarked:
I had begun to become really frustrated with my Defy, lag, google maps problems, instability etc. But, having installed Quarx CM10 I am really happy with it again. I think this might lengthen the amount of time I use this phone for before upgrading. I don't feel my Defy is outdated yet, it may not have the latest hardware specs, but I don't think it is struggling to keep up with anything.

Soooooo.....I agree with Nick, imo I would look at getting your monthly payment reduced, but not renewing your contract for more than 30days. I'm on T-Mobile costs me £10 per month including unlimited Internet and free landline calls. My wife has constantly negotiated hers down having kept her phone and now only pays about £8 per month.
[General Questions and Answers] inspiron2:
(bear in mind that I own an iPhone 3GS, iPad 3, Nexus S as my main phone and HD2)

Every time I try Android tablets somewhere, on a roadshow of the manufacturer or at a department store, they lag and stutter heavily at simple tasks or just flicking around the app drawer. No matter what brand they are, be it a Sony, Toshiba, Acer, on Honeycomb or ICS, they just lag. Even the newest Tabs from Samsung suffer from lag too, while the iPad flies.

How can they ever sell if the user experience is so laggy at the first try, in regards to normal users' perspective - they just care whether it's smooth unlike us gizmos - and why are they so laggy despite having dual-core processors and a ton of RAM inside while phones with lower specs run like butter?
[General Questions and Answers] InsaneCloaks:
I don't know why.. all I know is that I currently use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that was laggy on 4.0.3 until I installed Cyanogenmod 10 preview which put it at 4.1.1 ..

Buttery smooothh now :good:

Also I've seen some good reviews on the experience with the upcoming Samsung Note 10.1 :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] Gam3boy:
bcoz android is eating heavy ram so it lags
[General Questions and Answers] iKoolkid:
Try any of the Asus transformer tablets, they are fast.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
So tell me why phones run without lag? Android is not the reason why it lags, he was asking specifically about tablets.

I'm not a genius, but it might have to do with the size of the screen coupled with screen resolution. I've tried out some galaxy tab 10.1s and noticed the lag you're talking about
[General Questions and Answers] demonoflust:
Lag compare with what? Phone? Another OS? Widget and multitasking has a lot to take into consideration too. I am sure Android will be a lot faster if it doesn't have true multitasking :)
[General Questions and Answers] MrAndroid12:
I don't think this is the root cause, the root cause is something to do with android's coding as it was never intended to Handel hardware gpu acceleration across the board with gpu and this is where lag occurs.

Gpu and CPU wasn't coded to work together so when google released 4.0, it's way a bit of a jerky mess as the os would lag for a few seconds and continuous lag when doing slow scrolling. It can also be seen with contacts list where a lot of the photos appear. The gpu only seems to render a few layers of the os while CPU struggles to load picture image at once so contact list lag was still present and that same goes with the browser.

Project butter was designed to aggressively ramp up cpu to maximum speed when users touched their finger on it hence smoother pinch to zooms as CPU tries to process information I.e. content while the gpu renders graphical side of it hence less lag compared to ics, it can be seen with pinch to zoom.

Notice how 4.0s zooms are pitch, lag, pinch, lag, pinch lag while 4.1's pinches has a relatively smaller lag between actually pinching and lagging?

It's more to do with reducing legacy between gpu and CPU response time. Which is googles approach to fixing lag while still keeping developers apps unbroken.

Ios and windows 8 for arm renders it differently, it's more to do with framework linking the two integrations together. CPU and gpu works together like bus link I,e. reducing legacy while accessing each others resources hence virtually no lag (not 100%, but maybe 97% of the time).

That is why ios runs fairly smooths even on a 412mhz device while android suffers more hick ups even on a 1.8 ghz quad core device with hideously large amounts of ram.

No I don't think cm 10.1 offers a so called "buttery smooth" performance even on the nexus 7 which has a tiny wee bit of hick ups and scroll lag.

Yes I over clocked my old n7 to 1.8ghz

You could use a mouse button - the left or right one, they are way to small and not so noticeable. And more they are just like the native button, working more on gesture - long press shuts down, short press lock screen, than the physical state.And try to make a small hole on the phone in order to hide it as much as possible. And use some sugru or hot glue to fix it well.

Here's the photo of the mouse button I was reffering to. Sorry it's just big, original file, not elaborated.

[Nexus 7 General] eager27:
I'm curious as to what the RMA number allocation denotes. Is there anyone with Logistics experience or inside knowledge on this?

My current RMA is around the 00013000 mark. My assumption is that this is the 13,000 (ish) Google Play N7 to be RMA'd. If so, that is quite a substantial amount of units to be returned. Add this to the B&M store returns and it looks even higher.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 7 General] BostonDan2:
If I had to guess, I would say the 13000 number represents 13000 RMAs across all tablets, not just the Nexus 7. I can't see Asus creating a special RMA system just for the nexus 7. I do think the RMAs represent a significant percentage, especially after seeing Samsung suffering around a 25 percent return rate due to defects (disclosed by Samsung as a defensive tactic). My guess is Asus is seeing a return rate which is similar or higher than Samsung based on nothing else than forum activity. While Samsung forums have similar defect and RMA discussions, defects are not posted nearly as much as they seem to be posted with Asus. Just my personal observation over this pat year. I hope you get a unit that's not defective. Myself, I'm using my iPad 2 waiting for quality to improve or maybe, dare I say it, the iPad mini when released.
[Nexus 7 General] eager27:
Thanks - I hand't thought of it as ASUS RMA numbers, I considered them to be from Google Play, but I guess as the units were sent back to ASUS UK (in Netherlands!) then you are correct.

Thankfully, third time lucky, I did.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I'm not sure if that number is an ASUS number. I have a few RMA numbers from ASUS for my Transformer and Transformer Prime, and they don't match this format in any way. Note also that this isn't anything like ASUS's standard RMA process.

I'm assuming it's a Google Play number, since that's who's processing the replacements. And, it's probably across all of Google Play devices, although I'm pretty sure the majority of them are Nexus 7's.

I also believe that the Nexus 7 has a higher-than-average defect rate, somewhere between normal and the insane levels some folks here believe.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I think 13000 sounds right. My first early RMA was 1000 something, my second RMA was 3000 something a week later. So it doesn't surprise me the numbers are up to 13000.

If you've read these forums, there are people doing RMA after RMA and I'm sure Google has sold a lot of these. So 13000 is probably a tiny percentage.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Yes, these would include returns and replacements. But, they wouldn't include returns at B&M stores.

And yeah, you're right: if Google has sold 500K of these, then 13K+ wouldn't be terrible (about 3%). I do wonder how many they've sold...
[Nexus 7 General] Shamushand:
First RMA was ~7000, second was ~11000, and my refund was ~14000.
