[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Download a custom kernel like siyah or dorimanx and install it via Odin. That'll provide root access as well as safeguarding you from the emmc bug.

Look around for a guide on how to use Odin.There's a very comprehensive one somewhere on this site.. if you can't find it, I'll post a short tutorial here.

Also you can download siyah from here. www.gokhanmoral.com

Ensure you download the TAR version of siyah 4.1.5 (for the S2)

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythmist:
so download the TAR version of it only? i got odin installed previously as i manual update my phone.

and if u dont mind the post, i will be thankful since it would be more situational wise for me. thanks :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Yeah. TAR version is for installation via Odin, zip for installing using CWM.

if you've used Odin before the process is the same. Too lazy to search? Tut tut.

Here ya go. Coz I'm nice. :D

The steps involved (credits to chainfire) are as follows:

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start ODIN

- Click the PDA button, and select the .tar file.

- Put your phone in download mode

- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer

- Make sure repartition is NOT checked

- Click the START button

- Wait for the phone to reboot.

- Done

Ensure you have the correct drivers for your phone before starting Odin. And also that you have disabled KIES. It tends to interfere with Odin

Good luck.

Using the thanks button is preferable to typing out thanks. Easier too. :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythmist:
ok.. so how to disable KIES? and download mode is VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythmist:
oh and also will all my apps gone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Kill the KIES processes via your computer's task manager.

After flashing a kernel? No.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythmist:
oh so following the steps u stated. all the stuffs on current phone wont gone and it will be rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
No.

You should have done a bit of research before you muck about with your phone.You know about the potential brickbug,but you should know the basics of recovery/cwm/odin.

If you cant follow what Haxtreme is saying then

Root using method in my sig

Then backup efs

Then flash latest siyah kernel

Then make nand backup

Then stay as you are or install custom rom.

Theres a picture in my sig you might be interested in..........lol

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythmist:
sorry, pardon being noob here. but again

How to backup efs

How to flash latest siyah kernel

How to make nand backup

How to install custom rom. and custom rom where to find?

tbh i read alot of stuffs but it just wont get into me lol. thats why im noobish ><
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Theres a difference between a noob and a lazy noob.

You see you can eliminate pc/odin problems by using recovery to root and mobile odin(after your rooted) to flash kernels etc.

If you dont learn the "basics",then its your phone that wont work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythmist:
no. actually its done(rooting). just want to know what are those u typed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
1.efs can get corrupted

2.to avoid 4.0.4 stock brickbug

3.makes a system snapshot

4.faster/sleeker than samsung roms

Theres the clues,its now up to you.

Now wheres that taxi I ordered 30 mins ago..........lol
[HTC One X] Jadc007:
Hi all,

I have been using the CM rom for about a month now, is there a known issue for the battery life with this rom?

Because I would get about 8 hours with G-data on and then I would need to charge it up again, Quite annoying and lastly I have the issue the phone turning it self off and take about 5mins to reboot it as it seems dead?

Cheers

all
[HTC One X] erwinpiero:
Wow it's quite long booting time, i guess something wrong with it. Try to wipe cache & clear dalvik, if it's not helping try reflash and see whether problem overcomed.
[HTC One X] chillaxx:
I'm not sure but i think the new playstore update 3.9.16 causes a huge battery drain. Not able to pinpoint it though with standard usage app or with Gsam Battery Monitor?

This is why play store is my suspect:

After play store updating to latest 3.9.16 sometime yesterday battery went from 100 to 9% in 4 hours. After uninstalling updates and going back to factory with play store app Battery went from 9% to 0% in seven hours. But after a full charge and Play store auto updating back to 3.9.16 i'm once again seeing a drain? Anyone who has same problem?
[HTC One X] wcypierre:
install betterbatterystats and post a screenshot of the partial wakelock and we'll know what's happening(approximately)
[HTC One X] matt95:
i don't notice this battery drain... here battery is ok also running play store
[HTC One X] chillaxx:
I'll try and post the screenshot when phone is fully charged and went through some usage after charge.
[HTC One X] chillaxx:
Well I'm supposed to put up the partial wakelock log from BBS. But as it states that my battery percentage has decreased 3% in the last 2,5 hours it's not really necessary. Still can't understand why my HOX sometimes drains battery and sometimes it doesn't? Will have to wait and look at partial wakelocks when it happens again. So frustrating.
[HTC One X] wcypierre:
did you enabled any auto sync(gmail, whatsapp, google+, facebook, viber, etc)?

And the simple answer is no. But you can get a different launcher and see if anybody was mindless enough to make a TouchHideous theme for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schwibsi:
Hi,

is there a JB or ICS ROM for the i9000 that looks like an original Samsung ROM?

I installed X-Bean on her phone, but she's very unhappy with the design.

Can you recommend a different one?

Thanks,guys

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schwibsi:
Thanks mate, she likes it a lot.

Now, one more question, if I may.

Can the pulldown menu be changed?

She's annoyed by some sort of swagger baby thing, a strange hat and that she can't toggle the data connection from the pulldown menu?

If you could resolve this for me, I'd earn a lot of points with her :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Hi guys, I heavily use the picasa sync feature of the stock gallery, I have about 5-6 albums there plus instant upload. I like to have all these folders synced in the stock gallery, which is y google photo sync is pretty important for me. But what pisses me off pretty bad is then I cant use the awesome camera features of cna/aokp/cm etc(I use camera zoom instead). I have tried searching for a suitable gallery replacement app on the market with native picasa sync but to no avail. Fish bowl seems quite nice but no picasa sync.I know, I might me missing something here....but any ideas? I really want to use all the camera features!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RobBull69:
Personally, I use Perfect Tool for Picasa, which has a gallery and lets you edit/share albums. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=larry.zou.colorfullife&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImxhcnJ5LnpvdS5jb2xvcmZ1bGxpZmUiXQ..

Also, Cool 3D Gallery should do the trick.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Ummmm.... I don't like perfect tool so much. Gallery3d looked like it would do the trick but when I try to install it ,says app cannot be found. Can someone please post the apk?

Hi,

I want to center my clock in the middle of the bar, but I'd like to remove AM/PM first; e.g. if it's 9:50PM it would only write 9:50, not 21:50.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarimSalloum:
I've been reading up on the subject it seems I have to edit SystemUI.apk by "decompiling" and "recompiling" it afterwards. Can anybody explain how I would go about doing that? I am suspecting there is some sort of APK manager I need to use over adb or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tntmux:
Hi everyone.

I am looking for some help cause I am getting a serious memory leak on my nexus device with official 4.1.1.

After a fresh reboot, i have around 300M free memory, after 2 weeks of running, there left only 40-50Mb, and the whole system gets slow and some apps report "not enough memory", some others who need a lot of memory to run (like games) just refuse to start up.

So I wonder is there any known issue of this version of android which causes memory leak? If so, any solution? Or maybe I am getting attacked by some kind of virus??:confused:

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akusokuzan:
I feel as if I'm having this problem too. The built in task killer seems to always kill the foreground task, while the reduced amount of ram makes the phone lag like crazy. Any protips?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schroding3rscat:
Is there any way to view android media scanner logs?

I have known bug when new music/photos doesn't appear in library. I don't want to do full wipe because I'd already done this. I haven't .nomedia files in my DCIM and Music folders. So, I want to view logs and discover what causes this behavior. Maybe it's corrupted file or not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Simply wipe Media Storage cache and files. It will rebuild it completely.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schroding3rscat:
I did this. My question was 'can I view media scanner logs', not 'help me solve this problem'. ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Then simply use logcat to see what's going on. You can manually trigger a media scan with apps such as Rescan Media.

In logcat I believe you could search for android.process.media to get relevant results.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
There's known issues with media scanner getting stuck on track numbering, misformed ID3 tags in mp3 files or unrecognized characters.

You can use ID3Fixer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yschi.ID3Fixer) to read your tags and rewrite them in a more accepted charset and that usually fixes it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schroding3rscat:
I wasn't able to do this because this app relies on media scanner which didn't show any music file on my phone.

So I finally found problem and somehow solved it. I connected my phone over USB with turned on debug and started do view logs in ddms. After that I started to put .nomedia file in every folder with photos or music and rescan my sd. After some time I realized that DCIM directory contained files that crashed scanner. I didn't want to check all my 1.4 Gb photos and videos and simply moved all of them to pc. After that all is fine.

But I cannot understand why this is such an issue. Why Google cannot implement fix for this problem. Especially because scanner was broken by photo or video file that I created by STOCK app.

Thank for help, polobunny. :good:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
You're not the only one wondering why the behavior of the media scanner is like that. It's an ongoing discussion on Google groups. If the media scanner were to encounter a file that it cannot index properly the logical step would be to skip it, but instead media scanner stops and doesn't index the rest of the files. It's a stupid way of working and it doesn't seem like there's any advantage to this way, to boot. :S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuss:
This is likely fixed here: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/19084/

Merged in AOSP master, queued for Cyanogenmod.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toni.gultom:
That thing happen to my nexus too and i'll ready fix that.

Using root explorer :

1. Mount R/W

2. Select Storage

3. Tap and hold sdcard0 than link to this folder and this will create sdcard0 - Link than rename to sdcard

4. move sd card to parent folder than paste

5. Reboot and finish

Before that you must back up all your file because all your file will become 0 KB
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Wrong commit link, this is about GPS. :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuss:
It's the right commit. The bug is related to poor GPS metadata handling in an EXIF parsing, resulting in a buffer overflow with specific files.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Except the bug is not only about improperly formatted pictures but also mp3s... No EXIF in mp3s. :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schroding3rscat:
In my case error was in photo or video file. More likely in photo, I say. So he is correct with EXIF bug.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Ah my bad then! I helped two people with similar issues, and I mixed both. My fault for not re-reading. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
Try Open Garden or WiFi Tethering (root) apps from market.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
You've conflated a couple questions here.

"Which ROMs have a built-in feature for WiFi tethering?"

Most, if not all, do.​

"Given that T-Mobile generally prohibits tethering, is there a way that I can tether in a way that I am not blocked by T-Mobile?"

Yes, there are several ways that you can make the traffic appear as though it originated on your phone. Most, if not all, of these are applications, use of things like VPN or ssh tunneling, or configuration of your tethered clients. There are several approaches. Search is your friend on finding one that works for you and that you are comfortable with.​
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Ahh just making sure. But yeah, pretty much all roms for our phone have wifi tethering
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jwomack:
Just use foxfi no root required

Sent from my Tab....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] emilianos:
Are you sure this works?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Yes that works or just go to settings>wireless and networks>tethering. No need for an app if its built in but if you want one there's plenty to choose from
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Wifi tethering used to work no problem on my phone but T-Mobile very recently seems to have changed something where they can detect it - on ICS ROM's - and block it in the browser on your computer. It takes a few link clicks to get the blocked page.

For this - I have to switch to a google related user agent to not have wifi tethering blocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
that's funny, i'm using aokp (latest team acid build), and i was just using wifi tethering with no problems at all. not to mention that i'm not even supposed to have it since i have the new plan "truly unlimited 4g." the problem i do have though is usb tethering. i gave my team members a log to see if its fixable the other day, but haven't heard anything yet. its no big deal to me unless i wanna use it to tether my pc when our dsl daily cap is reached (which is everyday, but "i" don't use the pc everyday). basically just gave em the log to try and help those who do want/need it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It was new for me. And only through the browser. Still connects no problem but after several clicks it will pop up a T-Mobile page saying I don't have the tethering package. I am on Raver's ICS Audiophile.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JaimeZX:
I was tethering just fine on vacation last week, until I got a text message from T-mobile saying they were blocking it, and sure enough it quit working.

I gotta look into the user agent spoofing I guess... at least before my next trip.

(All three of the hotels I was in were changing $5-10 for internet!)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
T-Mobile is on a roll!

Didn't actually think they were gonna give something for nothing did ya.

They know that with strategic planning...(lower the plan price and give you more data)....if they give a little....you'll want more,so now they can ask for more,and sleep soundly when they go to bed at night.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
So mine got blocked too, took me a couple of hours last night but found a way around it using Bluetooth Open Garden and VPN combination. Back to free tethering....victory over TMobile!....for now at least.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
So using just the VPN client still blocked you??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Yeah, but it's possible that was just because I was trying multiple solutions. I'll look at it again tonight and see if I can substitute the Bluetooth with WiFi and keep it working. I think it might be in my proxy settings....it was late and I was happy to just get access.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Or you can change the user agent for your browser and just use wifi tethering as you normally would. It is a pretty simple fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I thought with Google Chrome you have to have the Developers Tools open for that to persist. Is there a simple way to make it stick without having to have the developer tools window open? Thanks.

Edit: Ok, so tried the APN switch on Google chrome last night and it did work, while the developers tools window is open. Only issue was that some of the sites that my wife uses that have display issues on mobile web now have the same issue on the PC...I'm not talking about page layout, but specific links and options not displaying....the reason she still needs to use the PC in the first place. I can definitely recommend the APN fix to people being blocked by Tmobile as a quick simple fix as previously stated in this thread. It took a little longer to set up, but I'm sticking with the VPN for full functionality.

Regarding the wifi use with VPN; I haven't been able to get it to work yet, so sticking with the Bluetooth for now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djsky2011:
Hello all, most of you should be aware of the wifi and tethering bug in the buttery smooth CM10. As a result this has made the ROM short of becoming a daily driver, with a bit of help from bulook00, I was able to mod the framework in order for the wifi and tethering to work properly.

Instructions:

Boot into recovery and do a backup

wipe cache and dalvick cache

Flash zip below

voila wifi and tether now works in CM10 FXP 145

Other mods will have to be made per FXP release or until FXP solves this problem in their sources

I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES OR GLOBAL WARMING SO FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Special Thanks to
