[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] budbear1:
I tend to buy all of my phones brand new, sometimes lightly used and unsubsidized. TMo is great since they charge a decent price if you don't want the phone subsidy. I usually stick with the manufacturers warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ludbosanac17:
All I will say is if you brick your phone, make sure you hard brick it if you are going to a T-Mobile and getting it replaced. I hard bricked mine the first time I tried installing a I-9100 rom on my T989 because I thought "Galaxy S2" meant all of them on the CyanogenMod website (yes, my first time flashing a rom). They replaced it since it was under the 20 day complete return (if its under 20 days they will replace it with a BRAND NEW one instead of a refurbished) and it came overnighted (unfortunately I bricked it friday and talked with them so I had to wait til monday because they were closed on weekends. If not under the 20 days they will give you a 20$ processing fee and a refurbished phone that may look new but it certainly isnt.

Is the note 2 going to support wireless charging? I've been wondering this since the SIII has it...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supramon:
If the S3 has it the note 2 certainly has it too.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duykhang524:
That's what I though but why didn't they mention it at the keynote? Maybe it's going to be an alternative accessory battery cover?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
Could be. Looking at the back of my note 2 with the back cover off there are a some unused contacts. The top two are for the NFS thing on the back cover but the bottom two don't line up with anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shaamt:
I desperately need help because i know that you all are my life saver. As it goes I'm having an unrooted chinese hand phone and there are no ways to root my phone other then to flash it. The dilemma is that i need to do a full backup before flashing but in order to do full backup i need to root it first but then i need to root it first before i can do a full backup. This is a dilemma sort like whether chicken or egg first. The problems is really annoying. BTW the phone download mode is not accessible through any combination of the phone button. Details are as follows:

Screen Size: 4.3 inch.

Model number: I9100

CPU: MTK6573

Android version: 4.0.9

Baseband version: I9100XXK13

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100

Build number: GT_I9100_01

Custom build version: 1341280728

ADB Devices: 0123456789ABCDEF

Are there any application that could do a FULL backup without rooting it first?

Does anyone knows where to download the said phone image file so that i could flash it without doing the full backup?

The last thing i could do is burying my phone in the soil and watered it everyday and hoping it to root out.

Thanks for your time in helping me out.

1.while watching a video, press the power button to lock screen (disables touch input and hardware keys) for interruption free movie watching:o

2. disable ripple effect on lock screen to improve lockscreen wallpaper image clarity

3. disable s voice and "pop up note on lockscreen" to improve on wake up lag

4. i use 'button savior' for soft keys...easy to use with s-pen too

5. for scrolling wallpaper with stock unmodded toucwiz, use the samsung lab wallpapers-paperland and parallax winter/spring/fall/twilight live wallpapers

6. you can record live fm streaming from the fm radio :victory:

7.keep checking s-suggest appstore...you can get some paid apps like 'virtua tennis' for free there

8.if you are rooted, go to system/media/videos...you will find 'androidinspace' video:D

I'm having issues tethering via wifi to my GNex. I'm running cyanogenmod 10. I've tried connecting with a couple devices (laptop and Nexus 7) and by using many apps (FoxFi, stock, Wifi tether, etc). I can connect fine, however, once connected the data bars on my phone turn grey and I get no data going to my connected device. I see many mentions of data loss and grey bars while using search however none seem related to tethering. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
I would try contacting your mobile data service provider, they may have a problem on their end or could assist in configuring it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] telapan:
I have Verizon. Is any one else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennj99:
If you are still on a grandfathered plan, anything earlier than his summer's Share Everything plans, you might get a tethering subscription check. I did. Only way around that without a contract violation is to pay them for tethering, too. Sux.

Foxfi does not like it used to do, once you update to Jellybean, least with the OTA over stock. Yet.

You might be able to find another solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ndinfla:
Foxfi is working OK on my Verizon stock system
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennj99:
OK...the developers of foxfi assert that it does not work for wireless tethering on jellybean stock except on the Verizon galaxy nexus, so it should wok for me, but when I updated ota from 4.0.4 to 4.1 here it stopped working. I'll check it again, maybe they have updated. They said they were working on an update.

Or perhaps the problem is that I am on an older unlimited data plan. If you are on Share Everything I have heard even the stock WiFi tethering app works.

Of course, foxfi will "work" even for me - but no longer for free wireless tethering anymore. Which was kind of the point for a lot of users...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] telapan:
I have Verizon's grandfathered unlimited plan. I wonder if I downgrade to 4.0 from 4.1 and try FoxFi if I will get tether back. Has anyone given this a try?

@ndinfla What version Android do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] telapan:
Good news. Looks like FoxFi just did an update to fix this. Thanks FoxFi!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennj99:
That would have worked though it was never necessary. There were other options even with grandfathered unlimited over ota jellybean.

Now though, you can use foxfi again.

Confirmed here, right now in practice.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I can't take any review of revision 1.0 hardware seriously.

If you recall, the first Galaxy Nexus test devices too, were 8GB. It certainly didn't end up that way. Dropping the size of the NAND included cuts cost on testing hardware.

Its interesting to see them compared, but nothing is finalized yet, so there is no way it would launch this month. Some of these blog sites need to find some tech writers with common sense.

I have hope for a LG Nexus since its the software that usually blows.

Although LG batteries blow too.

-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't see how you can say that when you have absolutely no idea when this particular rev 1 hardware was manufactured. There could easily have been 3, 4 or 10 revisions since this was made. The build date on the software gives you no indication of when the hardware was made.

If this really is rev 1 hardware of course we're not surprised to see lots of issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
That said...you don't know either.

I don't think that tech writer does either.

Yet the reviewer is posting as fact that its coming with 8GB of onboard storage and to be released in a bit over two weeks.

It doesn't matter how old the device is. Its rev 1.0 and you don't base final specs off a prototype model nor think a release is imminent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
That reviewer did a review of the review done in ( sorry don't know the language) another language that actually has the device he was trying to review on hand. One that when is is translated clearly stated it was a early prototype and not to expect 8gb in final shipping versions.

Another case of let's just take something from somewhere and change a line or two and make stuff up for web hits.

Of course there's no easy way, the battery is sealed. Likely the case when it goes on sale as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
The deal-breaker for me is the lack of pogo pins. It seems unlikely this wouldn't be on the prototype but would be on the production model. I went from a Nexus One to a Galaxy Nexus and have become very fond of being able to drop my phone into a desktop dock without messing with the USB connector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
I thought I read something indicating the reviewed unit was from April/May, can't refind it. Not that it would matter anyway, pure rumor. The review is somewhere between reviewing unicorns and reviewing a windows 8 phone where you aren't allowed to power on the device. Only useful info I got from it was seeing that there's a LED notification light, makes me believe they won't be getting rid of that feature any time soon. I don't feel like you can count on much of the appearance from a preproduction model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Of course that means LG can use a bigger battery giving users more battery life (initially anyways).

OK so these are probably stupid questions, but has anything changed that you may have omitted to tell us - like maybe a new ROM, kernel, radio etc? Are you sure there hasn't been an OTA update? When you reflashed, did you wipe the system and Dalvik caches?

It might help to tell us what ROM etc you've got installed.

Hi all.

My Desire HD sometimes reset and reboot. It's a couple of months that happens.

Now I have Sabsa Prime ROM but before I was in Virtuous Rom beta 1 ,so it's not related to rom.

I guess that reset happens only when I have put on WIFI: no reset with HSDPA or GPRS.

It has something to do with the number of devices connected to my wifi. I tried connecting only my phone, and it stayed on for a long time. Then I connected my pc to the wifi, and after a while my phone rebooted. Maybe some kind of IP conflict, or something like that...?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Well, the last logs in your logcat do mention the WifiService and that the ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGE event was encountered. So I guess it's more or less confirmed that Wifi is the cause like you're saying.

Since you're saying that you've tried flashing many different ROMs I think its fair to say that its a hardware issue. I have a suggestion. The wifi antenna is housed in the battery door. Since the wifi service is encountering the ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGE event.. I have a doubt that it might be something that is being caused by the battery door. Trying cleaning the battery contacts and the wifi door and the visible metal plates on the door. Try another door from somone else's device if possible.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
I've already did that before, I cleaned the contacts with alcohol, but it's the same...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
I don't think it's a hardware issue, since it only happens with Sense ROMs, not AOSP ones...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Hmm.. that's new. Which Sense ROMs have you tried?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
I've tried Sabsa Prime (several versions...), Nik project X, IceSense V, and Blackout ICS. All of them reboot when connected to wifi.

Then I tried MIUI and aospx, and they didn't reboot. But for battery life matters, I prefer a sense ROM, and it seems I can't use them
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Sorry to go offtopic but you use Sense ROMs for battery life?!? :eek: It's very widely accepted that Sense ROM's are the one's that suck the most battery due to their heavy graphical usage. So the only way you're using Sense ROMs for "battery life matters" is if you're indeed aiming to get lesser battery life :silly:

I'd say if you're only using Sense ROMs for the battery life then please stop using them. AOSP/AOKP Roms are way way better with battery life. And they don't have that reboot problem that you're experiencing.

Most of us here who do use Sense ROMs use them by compromising on the battery life for that little extra eye-candy that Sense gives us.

Anyway.. back to the issue at hand.. does it happen with any wifi network or only one particular? Have to tried connecting to other wifi networks with different modems to see if it happens on them too? Maybe its an issue with a particular frequency channel :eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
Well, I own my Desire HD for a long time, and I've tried many MANY roms. I have proved that sense roms give my device a lot more battery life than aosp ones, don't ask me why, but it's just like this.

I couldn't try well other wifis, since this is almost the only one I can access here, but I would try to connect a friend wifi. Although, I have played with the channel of my wifi, the password type, and other things, and always reboot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpeedoDevo:
This might sound ridiculous, but check the SIM card. I read it somewhere that it could cause random reboots.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Well since he already mentioned that it doesn't happen on AOSP roms I think the issue is not with the SIM card.

I'd still suggest you to try a different wifi router because as of now I can't think of any other reason. Are you restoring apps when you flash a ROM? There might be a possibility of some app playing havoc.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steno66:
A software reason?

I use wifi manager, are you using the same apk?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
No, I don't use wifi manager, but the problem happens also with a clean ROM, so no conflictive app, I think. I've tried also using the phone without SIM card, and reboots the same way...

The thing is that it's VERY weird, since I use the router for 3 weeks without any trouble, and, last week start all this sh*t! I should call Mulder and Scully...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
Today, I reflashed and connect to another wifi. Then I get back home, and connected to mine, and all were working fine, for plenty hours. Then, I connected the phone to pc through usb, and after a minute bam! reboot and the problem appears again. How could be linked the wifi, with the usb connection with the rebooting in sense roms...?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steno66:
Something related to ADB over WIFI?

HTC Sync in the PC? This explain why you have troubles only with Sense.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
I didn't use PC sync in my life (I don't know if it start some service when it's plugged in, though). I will try to remove the apk and test.

I only use adb through usb, so I don't think it could be it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
meh, I uninstalled the sync apk, connected to wifi and to pc, and reboot happens. I even flashed the new version of Sabsa, wich is Sense 4.1, but it's the same, so the sense version is irrelevant. I don't have a clue...
