[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
Just do a simple test first.

When you go to bed, with phone charged to 100%, disable Wifi and Data.

If your battery drains less than 1% per hour, then you know the problem is network related activities. (eg Google Now, Network Location, Push Mail, syncs of all sorts incl Face Book etc)

Really, like others have mentioned, you need Better Battery Stats app to pin point the drain. BTW...I now use Green Power app to automatically turn off Wifi and Data a shortly after locking my screen...(if nothing is using data at that very moment in time)

Good Luck and report back.

I always had poor battery with the SIII until I turned off the clock/weather widget. I have tried re-enabling it after each update and it was the guilty one.

Hi Guys,

I've got a S2 on Tmobile UK and I wish to unlock it to enable me to use other network sims.

Im not entirely sure what to do with all these rom versions and firmware stuff etc ...

I've managed to root my phone via CWM.zip and using the SU-Busybox.zip ... now im not too sure what to do next to sim unlock. I've tried all the sim unlock programs from the market but they dont seem to work.

I dont want to install all these flashy things and wish to keep everything stock if possible.

Currently im using ICS 4.04

PDA : I9100BVLPH

PHONE : I9100BVLPE

Thanks All!

Which sim unlock apps have you tried?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phozy888:
Galaxy S Unlock - free - dont work

Galaxy sim unlock - this one havent tried needs to pay .... ideally want it done free :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
This is the one I used when I first got my device and it worked. (Free)

_https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&hl=en

This one is newer and more compatible but will cost small fee of about £1.60 to unlock device.

Do these work on the ICS I read they only work for gingerbread ?

would sim unlocking have any effect updating via kies again when Jelly bean gets released ?

Thank you :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabeeh121:
I was able to get the phone unlocked using the following app.

See the following Link and download the .apk file and install it on your device. But make sure you have rooted phone.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34187077&postcount=685

After you install it then you run it and there is a small gray bar at the bottom you just press that phone unlocked and you restart the device. Everything works fine. It worked for me I hope it works for you as well. Even if u have tried the same app before i suggest you still try the one on that link. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
The second one works on GB/ICS/JB. I can confirm it works on JB as I recently used it after installing latest leaked JB sammy rom as that was sim locked.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Unlocking has got nothing to do with updates, firmware does.

If kies sees you're rooted, might play hardball with your device.

Why people keep updating via kies? What if power goes off?

And who waits for branded updates to roll out????????????

I'm kidding, it's your right to do so.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vectoryzed:
Hello guys,

I have a problem with the nAa ICS Kernel.

I have the stock ROM on my X8 and i want to install the MiniCM9 so i need the nAa ICS Kernel.

I flashed the kernel but when I boot up my device it was stuck at the H3G logo and didn't want to go further. If i can't arrive to the homescreen I can't move the .zip to the SD (and I guess i won't reboot and enter into the CMW Recovery to flash the ROM).

How should I do?

Thank you!

UPDATE: It's the same thing if I try to flash the nAa Kernel (not the ICS Kernel but that which should be for Gingerbread ROMs).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vectoryzed:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
can you get to cwm? if yes, connect your phone to pc and mount it via cwm. your pc would be able to read your sdcard then so you cam move the zip file.

If the flashing was successful, then you shouldn't be seeing the Sony Ericsson logo; nAa ICS has its own animation.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] teddy61174:
I really am tired of reading how Sprint, T-Mobile and International Note 2s have gotten their stock firmware available for download. Is there ANY way someone here can link me to or give me the stock unrooted firmware for AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317M ? I really want to Unroot my phone. I rooted it a couple of days ago using the Saurom ROM to get the multi-view on my phone. I used CWM recovery and Odin to make a backup of my phone's img prior to installing Saudom ROM. That means that the img of my phone that I backed up is the rooted version right?

Please help. I don't quite like the way my phone works while rooted. This is scary territory and I just want to go back to the way it was when I bought it :) I'll just wait for the ligit update from AT&T that will be coming hopefully later this month. So if anyone can provide me with the unrooted stock AT&T Note 2 Firmware, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

And I'm a noob so talk slowly :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
It took a few weeks after device release before Official tar got dropped on other carriers .

The same will be the case for ATT version.

The good news for Sprint etc they had developers capable of turning system dump into tar a couple days after device release.

Unfortunately are development isn't up to such task so were sol.

On a positive note - no pun intended.

Try to flash your stock kernel again.

Or the whole stock ROM.

As you are rooted, you can use Mobile Odin app for flashing.

If the camera works on stock kernel/ROM, use this method => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28178105 (Method 1) for rooting.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgeek.cub:
Hello;

I read few topics on rooting but they made me confused.

I want to know how many rooting options are out there and also what do they do.

Does rooting relate to hardware or an android installed on it.

by pressing volume and power key I went to page which has a test option. Like Wi-Fi and charging and sound.

How could I go to flashing mode then.

Some rooting options require removal of battery. How could we do that on tablets.

And at the end if a person work with a gentoo Linux distro; is able to **** his own rom?

(⊙o⊙)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showstopper1:
there are many methods of rooting using apps flashing via recovery and using ADB fastboot

it is related to the software not the hardware

you need to go to your device forum for booting the device in flashing mode

as i suggested there are many rooting options so we need not to remove batteries in tablets

in every linux you can cook your own rom but windows will be helpful if you are a starter(try going to the rom developing threads in xda there are lots to help you) !!!

hit thanx if this is helped !!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgeek.cub:
Thanks also

But there is no thread for my device. It is a no name Chinese tablet.

I bought it for daily jobs but now I love to fight with it.

Because it doesn't go to flash mode and also it has the tendency to survive superonclick method.

By the way thanks for cocking advice absolutely hope to have more on that from you.

i was testing and trying how powerful is our cam + TWcamera app yes its great and our sensor not even BSI :p

no need to buying crappy Lumia 920 :laugh::laugh:

first pic : with everything on auto

second pic with night mode :

third with night mode + outdoor visibility

sorry the focus was little bad :crying:

so what do u think guys :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] pg_ice:
great but i dont see any pics?

edit: now i see them :)

the thing with the Lumia 920 is that it has longer shutter speeds in low light

that with the build in image stabilization lets you take great photos in low light without blur.

any mods out there who can make the shutter speed availible? :)

it would be great for low light shooting

also what does the TWcamera app do exactly?

In my android story I have many devices, starting from htc legend and motorola defy. These phones weren't particularly fast, but they can provided a smooth android experience with some tweaks and custom rom.

I write this thread because the galaxy w of my girlfriend lag too much! Compared with my old phones (with only 800 mhz of cpu!), this seems to be a chinaphone or a very cheap phone... Why? I can't understand! We try cyanogen 9, aokp, miui but nothing change. On the untouched phone with a custom rom just installed (after wipes of course) we have lag on launcher, lag on app's opening, lag with browser (stock and chrome).. maybe I missed something... even stock gb rom was faster!

Hey guys,

I know you guys probably think oh god not another boot loop thread, but i couldn't find someone with the same problem as this one. I don't own a s2 myself but my friend does and he doesnt understand a thing about android. He has never updated his phone, it's not rooted or unlocked or anything. But a few days ago the phone randomly shut down and went into a bootloop. I tried to wipe his cache via the recovery menu but that didn't work. Then i did a factory reset and that sort of worked, the phone worked again but yesterday it did the same thing. he likes the phone the way it is so he'd rather not update it.

Does anybody know what could cause this bootloop and what he can do to fix it? If he has to update is there a safe way to update but stay on gingerbread? I myself own a Xperia Arc, i know that flashing roms through flashtool is pretty safe, is there anything like that for the S2?

thx in advance
