Hi

I have the same problem: i have tried several rom and kernel, and several usb charger.

It only works good with the stock kernel/rom.

Maybe its a problem of voltage settings in the kernel or ROM because now (Alfs 8a + GDX29) im charging it with a modded (http://localhostr.com/files/0evsyTl/2012-10-03 12.28.28.jpg) tomtom car charger that have 5v @ 1.2A... and its charging!

The orginal SE charger is 5v @ 850Mah and it works good only with the stock kernel/rom...

I try to make that one. But i don't know how to make that one. I'm handy with soldering. Can you draw schematic of that charger? Plis......

Does anyone have a breakdown of what was new in the UEALH2 firmware? On this subject, Google has not been my friend. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IonutZuO.o:
Hello everyone,it's my first post out here.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy SII a few days ago and i saw that the chargher got 1 pin missing from the micro usb port.

The USB cable it's ok,it has all the pins. So,my question is the next one: Do other chargers have the same micro usb port?

I've got no problems with it while it's charging,everything it's fine,but i'm just curious.Thanks in advance.:)

P.S.:I've highlighted the area where the pin is missing.And i also uploaded a photo with the charger model.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Crinkypops:
Hi!

Let's get straight to the point.

I just got a Skyrocket (Canadian Version) last week on Craigslist and I am having a blast with it-- wonderful phone. There is only one problem, though... my in-call audio would not work. When I put a call on speakers, I can hear the other side, but when I am using the actual call speakers located at the top of the front screen, I cannot hear anything. If I reboot the phone, it will work for about say 4 times... and then it will be borked again. Also, I noticed one time that when the background of the other phone is loud, that is when the problem would arise.

Should I go back to complete stock and see if that fixes it? Or is it a hardware issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Do a complete odin wipe back to stock, and use it for a couple days. If that doesnt work i suspect the seller knew of the issue, and sold u a borked phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AbstractMind87:
I've experienced the exact issue as well. I upgraded a few weeks ago and on day 3 of having the phone, bam, in mid call the default call audio speaker went out. I was on Sky-ICS at the time. I flashed different radios despite knowing that couldn't have been it, went all the way back to stock and nothing worked.

I concluded that it was a hardware issue, or a software issue that was beyond anything a flash, battery pull, or tweak could fix. For whatever reason, the call audio muted the default speaker, yet rerouted to the loud speaker with no problem. So I took it back to the store, explained it to the sales rep and got a new Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Crinkypops:
I guess this is just the main problem with getting things second hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
I had been running the TeamChopsticks Alpha 3 CM10 on my phone for the past week or so. Everything worked fine except for the occasional crash. Yesterday, I went to sleep with my phone charging like I always do. The phone's alarm woke me up in the morning and everything seemed to be working perfectly fine. I used it for about 15 minutes, unplugged the charger, and went to the bathroom. When I came back, the phone was dead. Removing and reinserting the battery countless times did nothing. I left the battery in the phone and went away for 15 minutes. When I came back the phone was quite warm but still wouldn't turn on, even after I let it cool. I used a friend's phone to confirm that my battery wasn't the problem. I went to the T-Mobile store and since the phone was under warranty they said a replacement would be shipped out to me in a couple days.

First of all, I would like to know what exactly I did wrong. I hadn't dropped the phone recently or done anything else to it. When the phone was working, it wasn't overly hot or anything.

One thing that I can think of is that the day before I had tried increasing the minimum processor speed to around 480Mhz since someone in the CM10 thread had posted that as a possible fix for the random crashes. Until my phone died, it hadn't crashed at all after that.

Is there anything else I could try to get the phone working? No combination of power and volume buttons works, and plugging in the usb does nothing either. The phone doesn't vibrate or show anything on the screen.

Update: So I contacted the people at MobileTechVideos and told them my problem. They said it is "most certainly a PMIC failure and non-repairable." So I guess that leaves getting a warranty replacement then. I'm assuming since the phone is completely dead they won't find out about the fact that it's rooted. But there is one other problem with sending it back for warranty: I had replaced the screen and lcd because it broke a few months ago (I dropped a dumbbell on it). So now the phone has a different IMEI and serial number sticker on the back. Will that cause me any problems? I'm new to this stuff so I have no idea how they do things. I'm assuming they check the serial number to see if the phone is within the 1 year warranty. But since the phone was released in October of last year, any serial number should be guaranteed to still be under warranty, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
The problem is... The phone says a certain serial number. But the sticker says another number. But since it is bricked and they can't read the serial number anyways that doesn't matter. However, when they check the sticker and the imei number that is with your account it's going to be different and that is a probable no no.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
Would I be better of sending the phone off to Samsung then? I checked on their website and the new IMEI number is listed as still under warranty (Manufactured October 10 2011). Tmobile already sent the replacement off and it should arrive on Wednesday. I was scouring the internet and I found a post somewhere saying that Tmobile just checks the IMEI's to make sure the phone is still under warranty, it would be too much work to see which account has which IMEI with exchanges and whatnot. I'm not sure if that's correct though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:
I have a question. Why does the phone have new IMEI when its screen was replaced?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
Rather than tear out the broken screen and lcd digitizer and try to put a new one in, I had bought an entire new frame. If you google search "LCD Touch Digitizer Assembly Display +Frame" you should see something similar to what I had bought.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
Ok, so what would happened if I purchased a different motherboard from someone? That would get my phone working, correct? Looking at the phone, there's two main parts: the screen/frame and the motherboard. So it's the motherboard that's dead, right? With the new motherboard, wouldn't my phone report a new IMEI? Would that cause me any trouble on getting it working with the T-Mobile network?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djmatt604:
Were you running on the kernel that came with CM10 when you tweaked the processor settings? Do you remember your min/max/governor settings?

It might be worth reporting that on the CM10 thread if you haven't already just in case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
Yes, I was on the kernel that came with CM10. All I touched was increasing the minimum setting two ticks to around 480Mhz (I didn't check the box to apply settings at boot). I manually restarted my phone a couple hours later so I'm pretty sure the phone was back at default when it happened. The only other things I did was install the UVLG3 radio and the AGPS patch.

I would report it in that thread but since I'm not at 10 posts I can't post in the developer forum. Could it have been the rom? If it was I think someone should possibly post something in there so that the developers are aware of the potential issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
So I hope to have my phone fixed soon, but I'd like to make sure this doesn't occur again. Does anyone know what could have caused it? Is it possible installing CM10 did it? Or the radio? Or the AGPS patch? Or was it probably just a random occurrence and has nothing to do with me rooting my phone and installing those things?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
A friend from tmobile have told me that even though their computer says another IMEI number from the phone it is not a big of a deal if you have insurance on your phone actually it goes to that line.. because you have lifetime warranty, they just change the old IMEI number to the new one so not big of a deal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djmatt604:
I have raised this in the official CM10 TC thread. We'll see if it is known...thanks again for mentioning this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
Thanks, I'll watch that thread and see what everyone says.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
How long did you have this ROM running for? So you are also saying that the MIN CPU values were reset back to stock because you rebooted without having "Apply at boot" checked? Im pretty sure that wouldnt cause a hard reboot. Also, how old is your device and have you overclocked at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninjabowl:
I had been running the Teamchopsticks CM10 ever since they released the Alpha 1. I installed Alpha 3 on the 17th, so a week and a day before the phone died. Yes, the cpu should've been reset to stock after the reboot. But I had completely forgotten to check after the reboot so I'm not positive they did. But yeah, I don't see why that would cause any problems. The device was manufactured in October 2010, and I've never overclocked at all. Changing the MIN CPU value was actually the only time I ever changed any cpu setting on any rom since I got the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I've been running it ever since they released alpha 3. No issues. I'm pretty sure your device may have been faulty. I'm not trying to point fingers but that's the only logical explanation I can deduce.
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
So nice I been waiting for this for so long. Thanks a lot :D
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The majority of devs don't want their roms on torrents.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Why exactly is that reasoning? It's not illegal, and its a tracker for only android ROMs. Download stats could also be viewed which can be a little bonus if the dev was wondering how many downloads they were getting.. Torrents > HTTP / FTP for mass distribution of large files.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
We have full control over the links.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Elaborate please. You have control over the links on a tracker as well. Its setup so you can delete the torrent if you really want to.

Like I said.. P2P > HTTP / FTP.

Devs don't only have to distribute via Torrent either... can still have HTTP / FTP mirrors for users that don't want to use a torrent client.

No problem. I've been waiting for one too, and couldn't find one so I decided to bite the bullet.
[HTC Rezound] guystyles:
don't let the haters get you down.

I want to assure you the initial negative feedback and opposition is generally a common experience among anyone pitching a new idea that hasn't really been done yet.

I mean, what did you expect to hear?

'yeah! do it!' or 'why didn't I think of that? you're genius is astonishing!' No. Naturally our ego's tell us to reply with 'why I haven't done that yet, and won't', or 'big hurdle I foresee'.

So, make like a nike, and just do it!

Believe me, after watching a few of my favorite devs in the vivow community lose past versions of roms they had stored and backed up forever (almost*) lost with the goo.im epic fail recently. They wish they used torrents instead of having control over the downloads with just one server.

Don't let the haters get you down. The only reason they hate on you is because they don't want to like you, but they do.

Good luck!
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
agree with con on this one.

How stable is a torrent? I would be leary of flashing a ROM that came from 500 different sources at the same time. If a Dev uses a good hosting site, I have noticed no problems with downloads.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
MD5.
[HTC Rezound] phuckwithfire:
I, also, have been waiting ages for this. Glad to see it finally coming to fruition.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Been waiting on this. I hope devs hop abroad. There's potential pitfalls of course but the outcome could be good.

Synergized GS3
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Oh I'm not letting them get me down. I just want actual opinions and reasons as to why they don't think it's a good idea, not any stereotypical-XDA "*****ing like little kids" posts. I want constructive criticism, or actual reasons as to why people don't think it's a good idea.

Torrents are very stable. They download tiny pieces at a time (few MB if that) and then verify it. If the piece fails a hash check, then it's disposed of an re-downloaded from users. I've had this happen to me a few times, and you can see in your torrent client that X amount of pieces have failed hash checks. IMO, it's MUCH more stable and safe than HTTP / FTP. I VERY rarely ever get a bad download from torrents since each piece is hash checked.

As far as using the good hosting site... yes, it can be stable for less people, but what about when they first release a ROM and they're a popular dev? They have how many people downloading from a SINGLE link, until people upload more mirrors (which get buried in the mass posting spree anyway). I got the idea for this after watching this go down in the Viper ROM thread. Tons of people were complaining about slow downloads, and a bunch of people had to post mirrors. Instead of doing that... why not just use torrents and avoid the hassle of waiting for external mirrors from random people? I could say the same thing about being leary about flashing a ROM from an external mirror from somebody other than the dev... they could have corrupted it, inserted malware, etc..

This. Include a text file with the torrent, or in the description, containing the MD5 sum. It's NO different at all than a normal download other than potential for faster downloads if a lot of users are using it. When less users are using it... go back to the HTTP download if the torrent isn't fast enough.

Thanks. I'm hoping devs do hop on because IMO it could become quite successful.

Help spread the word if you like! I may make a smaller sig banner button if people want one, so they can put it in their sigs to help spread the word to devs.
[HTC Rezound] Reaper0294:
I like this idea. I feel like Devs may not jump on it right away (although they should) but will definitely be successful later on. I have used many many torrents (for things like anime etc) and they are very successful. I believe i have also never had a bad download from a torrent. Speeds can be somewhat iffy (the only problem i may see) because i feel like many users here would not want to always be sharing their speeds. Many big open source linux clients however still have good speeds always. This could be because they have a few dedicated seeders, but I'm not sure.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
If I can scrounge up some money to put another drive in my server, I can have it as a bit of a seedbox as well. I can download the ROMs and help seed them when the user count is low.

The tracker base I'm using (phpMyBittorrent) also supports a "seed request" system I believe, so users can request reseeds of dead / low seeded torrents.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
The only issue I have with this (not that my opinion matters) is that people will download to their phones and not seed. I have my torrent client set not to seed, for the sake of battery life.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Quite the contrary.. your opinion does matter. I want to hear everybody's concerns so I can address them if they are something to be considered to help develop this. I believe this would probably be a minority issue. Not many people have a torrent client on their phone. If anything, you can setup web access from uTorrent and manage your torrents from your mobile that way, as well, so that you can still seed.
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
Torrents are much more stable than http. But ur main point in doing this (faster speeds due to http being congested when a lot of people download at same time) is flawed.Unless devs have a very fast upload speed or seedbox, torrents will be even slower (waaaay slower) until many people have the file. This will result in much more *****ing than there is now.Also this wouldn't be a good way for devs to keep their rom stored because as soon as a rom is outdated nobody will seed it. And like somebody else said nobody is going to want to seed every single rom the decide to download. If people aren't required to seed for fear of being banned from a private site then the majority won't seed. Simple as that. With that being said when a torrent has a healthy amount of seeders its by far the fastest way to download files. I wish this would work but unfortunately I don't think the demand is enough to support it.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
I know this; which is pretty much what I said in a couple posts. And also like I said, devs could still pick HTTP mirrors besides a torrent; I'm not saying get rid of HTTP / FTP, I'm just saying add this on as an option.

If I get more extra cash (college + an apartment is expensive), I will add a larger HDD in my server to store ROMs on. I'm not really counting on this as a way for ROM storage; just as a way for ROM distribution.

The tracker base I'm using supports private tracker / ratio-based functions. Right now I have it set to freeleech, but I can always set it to ratio-based. And like I said previously, it also has a request system built into it, which could be used to request a ROM be started up again for seeding.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I don't think stability is an issue with torrents, but the issue I see is that if there's a bug found and the dev wants that rom pulled, or if it gets outdated quickly, you can't stop people from sharing it even if you take it off the tracker. Any open connections will continue, so as long as people are up and running and someone is seeding, a "bad" release could keep being shared and people might not know of an update if they're not keeping up with it.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
The Dev can delete the torrent, which removes it from the tracker, and sets the status in the torrent client to unregistered. The only way it can still be distributed is through other trackers and/or DHT. I believe I can disable the use of external trackers; not sure if I can disable the use of DHT with the tracker software I'm using, though. I'll have to look into that if it really comes down to that. But, like I said, the dev can remove the ROM by deleting the torrent which should stop sharing (because there is no communication between the tracker once it updates...most clients auto-update the tracker every few minutes... I believe mine is set to every 5-10 minutes at the moment).
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
carngex: i know this; which is pretty much what I said in a couple posts. And also like I said, devs could still pick HTTP mirrors besides a torrent; I'm not saying get rid of HTTP / FTP, I'm just saying add this on as an option.

-Problem is then people will use the http instead because they don't want to wait to download and have to seed.

If I get more extra cash (college + an apartment is expensive), I will add a larger HDD in my server to store ROMs on. I'm not really counting on this as a way for ROM storage; just as a way for ROM distribution.

-Then nobody will use it because they won't want to manage a ratio just to download roms they
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Once the mirrors become overloaded (they always do) people will ***** about it and have to wait anyway. But yes, I understand where you're coming from.

Not necessarily. But I know that could happen, hence why it's a freeleech system at the moment (and will most likely remain that way).
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
But anyone who is already connected can finish the download. Updating to the tracker that no longer has the torrent does not disconnect peers/seeds who are already connected, it just stops new connections since it's no longer matching up those who have what the other wants.
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
I support this. Created my account already, and I'll be seeding from my QNAP server as soon as devs decide to try. Its got about a terabyte free, atm.

Do torrents support versioning, by chance? Meaning if I am seeding and the torrent owner changes the upload, could it sync up and continue seeding? Weird combination of SVN and torrent, but could solve the "seeding the wrong version" issue. One torrent per ROM, updatable, seeders down after change until synced.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Hmm... I don't believe my tracker supports anything specific... I do have an SVN server that I use for code projects for me and my friends... I could possibly maybe integrate it that way somehow? Not sure. But there again, I would need more cash first before I can upgrade my server's HDD and add in a storage drive for ROMs.
[HTC Rezound] csong95:
It nice but i can't upload permission reason
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Like I said in the OP and in a couple posts, only developers or people with developer's permission can upload ROMs. This is to prevent ROMs from being distributed without the developers' consent. If you have a ROM you made, let me know and I can put you as Uploader. If you have permission from a dev to upload their ROM, I would like to see that they gave you permission.
[HTC Rezound] csong95:
I do have Roms
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Go to the forum and post an a topic in the Uploader Request board: http://bitdroid.org/bitdroid/torrents/phpBB3/index.php
[HTC Rezound] swilbert80:
I don't know how many devs that Con was speaking for, but I do know that when he speaks, most people notice. In the time this thread (and the new torrent site) have existed, there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of dev response unless it has been in private, so... I guess only time will tell. Regardless what the outcome may end up being, good initiative and good job with the site. It looks good. I am curious what your vetting process would be for ROMs from unknown/new devs.. I don't worry about flashing something when I see "Recognized Developer" under their name. Or if their name is Chad.
