Maybe it's something to do with Sammy roms and 4.9. I'm using 4.9 on a 9100 AOSP rom (ThinkingBridge) and I have 804mb of ram available. Had the same when I was running Slim. Haven't been on a Samsung rom in a while, but I would start by looking at that possibility first.

StraightTalk S959G Playing mp3 problems

I have a serious problem with my phone. when i load mp3 files and try to play them. The song will start out playing fine BUT then at any giving time during the beginning, middle, or near the end of the file it will CHANGE the song and play something else. Has anyone had this problem? No matter what i try and do to fix ,, these music files have a life of there own. At first though was that the mp3 files were corrupted but that is not the problem because all the songs play find on my windows media player AND iTunes. BUT... if drag the mp3 files back from the phone to my computers THEN those same files play like they do on the phone so they are useless.

I have reformatted my sd card, i factory reset my phone, i changed mp3 files and folders. i changed to different mp3 players instead of the stock one that comes on the phone. None of the above helped at all.

any suggestions ?

i have tried moving the mp3 files back to a computer both mac and pc the files play bad like the phone BUT the original files on my computers play just fine. They somehow are corrupted from being on the phone. I also tried on iTunes converting some mp3s to AAC and load them on the phone. Nearly the same problem but with AAC the songs would have quite spots with no audio instead of playing audio from other mp3s .

I sent my phone back to Straight Talk and they replaced it with a refurbished one. NO CHARGE ... they replaced it completely FREE.Its seems like new not scratched up or any other external wear. AND... it works Great now Playing Music !!. Its the same model with the same firmware.. No one from the repair center let me know what the issue was as they probably just chucked the non working phone. Thanks for the Help !! Straight Talk handled my claim pretty good . They did lose my returned phone for 3 days and i had to wait a bit longer for the new one to arrive but again they completely replaced it FREE. To me that deserves some serious respect for a phone company.... I know Verizon or ATT would say Go F yourself. Give us your CC and we'll fix it .

Downloaded over wifi on phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
That is due to the differences in how each kernel (or even different versions of the same kernel) allocates memory internally. For example which MALI drivers are in place, and how much memory is allocated for the video buffer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasperdog:
I used a few methods. I would connect the usb cable , then mount the phone on my computer and locate the micro sd card then drag them to the music folder . I would use WIFI and transfer them by using iTunes ( and a playlist) , Airsync and doubleTwist softwares..

The only thing i didn't do yet is swap out my 32gb SDmicro card for a different one. I doubt the card is bad because i did reformat it . Pictures and movies work fine on the card.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Well tbh, not really. BUT, if it were me, the first thing I'd try is to clear cache and data for the keyboard in the applications manager under settings. Then set your defaults back up again. If that didn't work I'd try downloading gapps again from a different site and double check the md5 sum

I would highly recommend upgrading your phone to jelly bean. Gingerbread is so old many apps don't even support it anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:
Nope. No access to a pc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Hmmm...ok. What are u using to post here? And does it have a removable sd card that will fit in your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:
Yes I'm using the SGH-T599 and I have a 32gig micro sd card in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Ok that's awesome. That's our ticket in. Now, to be clear, you flashed a cwm kernel and now your phone won't boot up but you can still boot into recovery and flash files from there? Is that correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:
Yes that's correct. It said it was a cwm kernel, but I don't have cwm it's still stock recovery (3e). Yes I can get into stock recovery but if I try to boot into android it shows the boot animation and freezes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yeah. Most likely that kernel is not compatible with the stock gingerbread 2.3.6. That's why you're not getting past the boot screen.

So are you Ok upgrading to 4.1.2 (jellybean) or are you wanting to stay on gingerbread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:
Well yes I'm wanting to upgrade to jellybean. That's one of the reasons I was trying to flash cwm on my phone was to put something better than the gb crap on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Cool. I think we can get you going no problem. The reason your recovery didn't change is because on our sgh-s959g the recovery is on a sperate partition from the kernel. That's why you are soft bricked instead of hard bricked right now. The kernel flashed to the kernel partition while the recovery remained unchanged.

Standby and let me figure out exactly which files you need to grab then you can put them on your s3 ex sd then you can put it in your s2 and flash the files from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:
Sweet!!! Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
OK, sorry it took so long... put everything on your external sd so you can stick it in your s2

1) go to the op of this thread and download PhilZ cwm its under "best way to root/flash a custom rom". This will give you the correct recovery for the kernel that you're going to be using.

2) go here and download mr-cook's COOKED rom. Its samsung based rom with aroma installer. very nice. very stable. plenty of help in that thread if you need it. I've been using it for quite a while now. It's my daily driver.

Once youve got your s2 in recovery and your sd card mounted, flash the PhilZ cwm zip file and then reboot recovery, not the phone itself. There may be an option in the recovery menu to reboot recovery, im not familiar with it, but if not just do it manually. Your recovery should look totally different now. you should have a purple and b lack eye shaped ying-yang in the background. Go ahead and select, "wipe cache", "advanced>wipe dalvik", "wipe data/factory reset"

Now choose install from sd card, and select COOKED 2.2. When the aroma installer starts just follow the install instructions. when you get to the install options be sure to select install base, wipe data, install kernel, install modem. Im pretty the rest is just customization. All that can be changed later through the aroma installer.

Now this is important, once the installer has finished it will ask if you want to reboot the phone or exit back to recovery. Select exit back to recovery. Once there go to advanced>reboot recovery. Once the recovery has restarted select kernel specific options>reset exTweaks profiles.

Reboot. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:
I tried and the cwm won't pass signature verification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
do you have an option in the stock recovery to "toggle signature verification" ?

If so, select that. it should disable sig ver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
I've already used the regular cwm from the op page. I also have no access to a PC. I think I would like to try Mr cooks ROM.

My question is can philZ cwm be flashed in thru the current cwm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yes. Just flash in recovery, then go to advanced>reboot reocovery. done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:

And if you select apply update from SD card what are your options?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brytnee:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
This is for an SGH-S959G. Please confirm that is the phone you have before following this advice.

OK. You're going to need a computer. Hopefully you have access to one from a friend or family member. Nothing needs to be installed on the computer (accept the drivers if the phone isn't recognized). But you need administrator privileges to use Odin so the library won't work. You need to either use Odin to install CWM then reboot into CWM perform a full wipe and flash the new ROM of your choice in CWM, or use Odin to flash back to stock (factory firmware). If you flash back to stock I highly recommend you still use Odin to install CWM afterwards. That way you can gain root again and upgrade your ROM in the future.

Everything you need can be found in the first page of this thread.

OK, so someone did get a stock kernel dump? Nice.

Was the factoryfs.img you posted a raw dd dump, or a sparsified one made with the process I linked to a few pages back? (Since people have reported success flashing it, I'm guessing you've sparsified it...)

That's really odd... if p6 doesn't contain the recovery kernel, what does?

If it simply failed to enter recovery at all, I would think it was some sort of bootloader bootline issue - but if it's actually entering stock recovery that is REALLY FREAKING WEIRD. That says that stock recovery is contained SOMEWHERE on the device and not in the normal locations.

No. Bootloader is different with undocumented changes.

No that's not it. ICS is 100% compatible with GB modems (or I777 users would've been without ICS for months), the modem/RIL interface didn't change in any compatibility-breaking way - and even if it did, the device would boot but the cell radio wouldn't work. This isn't an old HTC where the modem bootloads everything else.
