One thing that drives me crazy, I plug the phone into car charger, then put phone in one of my cup holders, since the charger port is at the bottom of the phone, it sits in the cup holder upside down..........as soon as this happens, phone switches to vibrate mode causing me to miss calls...........I've checked all the setting and don't see how to disable this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Do turn over to mute unchecked? I believe that's the only motion setting that would do that.

Your phone could think being turned upside down is like being turned over.

Well, after waiting quite a while on Endymion ROM, I've now flashed Fallout V5.0. Considering this is a fresh install, what other Mods/apps should I flash/install ? Also, what settings should I change ? I'm looking for stability as this will be my day to day ROM. Smart Ass v2 ?

And also, a huge thank you to Lowveld for the awesome ROMs that he produces. Your efforts are appreciated by all. :good:

EDIT: What launchers do you reccommend ? I was using Holo launcher... Looking for something different. Preferably theme-able.

and sorry for so many questions. :D
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
Congrats!

Currently I'm using:

amidabuddha's newest kernel (which is the new version of what is included in Fallout 5) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1845039

Jellybean animations http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1765418

For launcher, definitely Apex. I use it all the time, on every ROM. It's worth buying the PRO version if you like it, gives you more options (like unread email/text notifications)

As I'm using Apex, I use itandy's HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874228

I use Smartass v2, but still playing around with that kind of thing. Basically, just read and play around, it's your phone!
[HTC Desire S] DieLyn:
Alrighty, I have flashed the JB animations. Don't plan on flashing the new Kernel.. Theres not much point. The one in Fallout V5.0 should suffice. I don't want to chance bricking the phone for no reason.

I have one more question... What is the point of the HTC Lockscreen thing ? Will it remove Sense launcher and keep the Sense lockscreen working ? I don't really need the pull ring and stuff. Will be happy using another lock screen alternative(GO locker). Is it possible to completely remove Sense considering I'll be using Apex launcher ?
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
There is little chance of bricking whilst flashing a kernel, though don't quote me on that. It's there if you find battery life suffers, and it's good to have the newest version of these things.

As for the HTC Lockscreen thing, unless you use widgetlocker or something, you'll always have the ring unlock thing. If you use an alternate launcher, you won't have shortcuts on your lockscreen - itandy's mod fixes that. Read the thread - you have to disable Rosie to install it. If you don't want Sense at all it might be worth trying a different ROM!
[HTC Desire S] DieLyn:
Cool, thanks for that. I have a problem though... Play Store keeps crashing ! Can't even get it opened. I have logged into my Gmail account... Should I try downloading and flashing GAPPS ?
[HTC Desire S] johny.attila:
I suggest clearing the play store's cache, or the whole /cache partition in recovery! :)
[HTC Desire S] DieLyn:
Wiped Play's cache and it worked ! Thanks !
[HTC Desire S] menon.rohit89:
Very stable

Fallout v5.0 seems to be very stable with really no issues.

Using it is a daily driver is a breeze.:)

I believe all the necessary mods for a rom has already been included by the developer, like rosie fixes and options to get certain sense 3.6 animations and the ability to reasonably overclock and underclock the CPU.

I also like the way how we can avoid most third party apps like fastburst camera and most photo editing software as these features are inbuilt in the rom. :) :)

Just waiting for the jellybean version of something similar to come :)

Menu button not working with using navigation bar

Hi there,

the 3-dot menu button is there but they don't work. Nothing happens if I click on it.

My hardware buttons don't work anymore so i'm using the navigation bar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in prop.build).

On HTC One S3 (ville).

Thanks in advance,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Hi guys,

I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy SII on eBay. I decided to take the plunge even though the seller said it was for "parts and not working". He said the problem he was having was that the phone would shut off by itself, no matter what he did. He said this happened maybe once every 10 times he pressed the sleep button.

I got it yesterday and started messing around with it. I haven't encountered the problem yet but I only used it for a few hours. I proceeded to successfully root the device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1) and it seems to work ok. I'm not using the phone yet and I guess I was just wondering if you think the problem may have just "gone away". If it did, I would feel very lucky. I won't know for sure until I start using the phone regularly, but I needed a reliable phone today at work and that's why I didn't bring it with.

Any thoughts on what could cause this issue and possible solutions are appreciated. I've read some people say it's related to the CPU or the button itself, or perhaps even the battery. The owner had never rooted the phone so he was just running the regular T-Mobile Gingerbread rom.

Thanks and Happy Friday!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Probably the power button problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Thanks for answering, Teo. If it's that, it should be fairly simple to fix. I'll report back just in case somebody is having the same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ToastMan12:
Since the JB ROM's suffer from random restarts and sleep of death issues, I would recommend flashing an ICS ROM. This will get you a more stable environment for testing, so if the device suddenly shuts it self off, you'll know it's not the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mintharis:
+1 to this suggestion. Flash a ROM that is known to be stable so you can confirm the original issue. I'd suggest stock (gb or ics, doesn't matter) for the best test environment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Thank you guys! Your responses are greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Why don't you either send to Samsung under warranty or put insurance on it and have it fixed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
I bought it used on eBay, I'm not the original owner. And I didn't see the SquareTrade warranty option for this purchase, perhaps because it was under "For parts & not working". I haven't come across the problem yet. I have flashed a few different roms (ICS) but every one of them has given me some type of problem. I'm still using my very reliable myTouch 4G and I'm starting to doubt if I really want to dump it for the SII.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
The phone has not been out a year yet so it don't matter about ownership as long as there is not abuse to the phone they should help you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Thank you! I'll look into that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BACARDILIMON:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Yeah so warranty should still work. phone warranties starts the day it is activated. My white one was activated until February so i got another 5 months!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Don't want to jinx myself but I flashed Team Chopstick's ICS rom on Saturday and haven't encountered the issue thus far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
At this point. I would think it's safe to say that your phone is fine lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Lol yeah Teo, I hope so :) I'm glad I took the plunge!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8c0re8:
I have both MT4G and SG2...rooted my SG2 than my MT4G..flashed alot of ROMS for both phone and while the ROMS for MT4G are great and stable (using the Dark Unicorn v2.5) the SG2 ones i like better, (Jedi Knight 2 Stripped)..hands down better phone performance of course with the SG2...just using my MT4 as a backup phone and one for testing.(rooted wifes phone so gota test ROM before i give it to her)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
I'm keeping my MT .. at least for now. I actually paid more for it than for the SII! I'm using the SII full time and keeping the htc for backup. Im running Toasted Marshmallow on the htc and I like it a lot. I tried JK on the SII but gave me problems so I'm sticking to Team Chopstick for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Dude mt4g probably the best single core phone out there. Loved that phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
You got a good deal from someone that didn't know much about Android smartphones, nice. This is obvious because it was still on GB lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Yeah! I actually lost the bid to someone else and then for whatever reason the bidder backed out and I got a second chance offer from the seller so I bought it right away. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Well I started to experience problems today. I think it has to do with the power button. I pressed it once to make the screen go to sleep and it flashed twice almost as if I had pressed it twice. It did this about 3 or 4 times. I didn't shut off, so it's not exactly the same problem the seller had described but I think it is the power button. Would you think it's better to try to contact Samsung or should I have the power button replaced on my own?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhayy:
May i ask how much you paid?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Sure, $150
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Well the problem has been on and off. Doesn't happen all thr time but decided to try to have it repaired. I contacted Samsung and they put in a service request for me since the phone is still under warranty like you guys stated. I hope is really just the button.

I now have to unroot and go back to stock. Any other suggestions or things i should pay attention before sending it off? Thanks again guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
did you try contacting tmobile for their warranty exchange? it's usually much quicker through them.. cost i think $5 although it is a warranty refurbished phone. they all seem pretty new to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Well Im actually with Simple Mobile so I didnt really contact T mobile. Samsung sent me a label for UPS. I just unrooted the phone and put it back to stock. Btw thanks for all the useful info you have shared here Teo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
hey no problem! hopefully you get your phone back quickly. btw if you're gonna ship it, might as well do it monday because UPS isn't gonna move anywhere over the weeekend lol

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

oh and just realize you had a question on rooting. best way is to just ODIN to stock, wipe data/facotry reset it. remember to wipe your internal SD too. I remember buying a s2 off CL where the guy didn't wipe his internal SD... I found pictures... it wasn't pretty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
I already packaged it and it's ready to go lol. I'm using my MyTouch 4G so I'm ok for now.

I totally forgot to wipe the internal SD. I did look into it and they had a few pics of dogs and kids, and some PDF files of restaurant menus. At least nothing nasty but I forgot to wipe it. What is the best way to delete those or should I just go one by one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] steve adams:
Your phone should work as advertised once you get it back. I am using the s2x as well for my day to day phone, and have my HTC GSM hero for backup. The s2x running a lightly modified ics rom that gets me great battery life. After all day using it quite regularly, I still have half the battery life remaining. I'm debating the gs3 now or wait until the new year to see what they come out with. I can get the new galaxy for no up front money and 50 bucks for unlocking it.

M torn, the s2x is working great, but, that new galaxy is sooooooo sweet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
What ICS rom are you running? I hope it really is the button so they can fix it. The S4 is supposed to come out in Feb. '13 so maybe you just wait for that one ;) The S3 does look sweet but I'm not willing to pay that much money for it. I'm all about prepaid, zero contracts for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BeastEvo:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UltimaniumX:
Honestly since you have the s2, you really have one of the best phones in your hand at this point. S3 is indeed faster and of newer technology, but it's more of a quality of life fix if you're moving from s2 to s3. I would wait until S4 if anything.

I too am all about prepaid, I don't like signing contracts and I don't have a data plan.

I got my phone back safe and sound. Havent encounteres the issue so I pray it has been fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Well it's been a couple of weeks.... and the problem came back. It was very weird, I experienced two reboots on the same day. First, what happened was that without me even pressing the power button, the shut down/ reboot menu came up. I tried exiting it, but it kept on popping up until it rebooted, vibrated like 5 times and then turned back on.

Then this morning, the alarm woke me up normal. Then I went and got ready and when I grabbed it again it was off and vibrating, not non stop, but like vibrate-stop-vibrate-stop. I tried turning it on but nothing, I took the battery out 5 times, waited 10 seconds and as soon as I put the battery back in it would immediately start with the vibrate stop thing again.

So I remembered the seller gave me an extra batter, it's a huge battery that requires you to change the back door because it's so thick (I had never used these before) and as soon as I put it it stopped vibrating and I was able to turn the phone back on. I don't like this battery just because it's so thick and I like my phone slim.

I guess my question is, is it possible for a battery to cause this problem on the phone? Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to be descriptive and if someone has had similar issues, I'd like to hear their thoughts. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Yuoko5:
don't worry

I also bought mine at ebay but it works fine. On stock I had the same problem, not so often as 10 minutes but one in a while. I'm now on paranoid android 2.50. Since I started flashing aosp roms it just stopped. I think it won't happen again on yours too. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Thanks, but I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem. It happened this morning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] george241312:
I would disassemble it and get a bottle of 70% alcohol and clean the power button with a toothbrush+alcohol then heat up with a heat blower to dry up the alcohol what it looks to me the phone has water dmg
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Thanks George but Samsung just replaced the power button a few weeks ago. It stopped this morning when changed the battery. Not sure if the battery can cause this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicraz:
Well it just did it again while using the other battery. I just wish I knew what the exact problem is. As far as I know there is no water damage, Samsung replaced the power button and it did it while running on stock. It was fine for a few weeks, and started acting up the last couple days. I did a dirty flash a couple days ago so that may contribute to the issue. I may just sell it again for parts on eBay.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I tried posting this in the Kindle Fire HD section but no responses as this maybe more of a general android question.

I rooted my KFHD and installed the 4.0.3 version of GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk along with a bunch of other google apps, play, youtubeHD, maps, gmail and they all work perfectly. However I am having problems with 4.0.3 google talk app. It will disconnect when the device goes to sleep and sign me out. I have wifi policy set to never sleep.

I am not sure if I am missing some other service to keep the connection awake or if this just happens to be a KFHD hardware issue. I noticed the same happening before on my KF 1st gen when I rooted and added gtalk to it months ago. I never seriously looked into it and now it is bugging me.

I am using the latest version of Titanium Backup Pro (paid) on stock Bell LALH1. I flashed this newer rom version about 2 weeks ago. During the first week, everything was fine, but it started acting up this week.

Titanium itself functions normally allowing for backups and restores. However, the schedule function of the app causes system crashes. With the app open, selecting the "Schedule" tab will cause the app to freeze and force close. When the app runs it's scheduled backup, the entire system freezes and a hard-reboot is required.

Does anybody else have this problem? If so, any solutions?

Similar/same problem?

I think I'm having the same issue.

I rooted my S3 for the first time yesterday, just so I could run Titanium before wiping the phone.

Titanium ran fine, and backed everything up, and I setup a shedule to run every sunday (the default ones)

But this morning the phone was acting very odd on startup. It would startup and then freeze.

I wiped the phone, and reset it, as per my original plan, and everything has been working fine. But just now, I put the schedules back on and decided to run them, and sure enough the whole phone crashed again.

(By crash I mean still shows data on screen, but screen is not responding to touch. I can hit the power button to turn screen off and on, but can't do anything else).

I've just restarted it, and it's running fine. I'll restart the scheduled backup and see how it goes.
