[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5pryor:
Hi all,

Hoping someone can give me a bit of guidance/ advice here. As you’ll see I have very limited knowledge so apologies in advance for the dumb questions.

Bit of background, I flashed my Galaxy S2 about a year ago with the Litening Rom, using Odin. The only backup I made was using CWM as advised to do so. The phone has worked great since, absolutely love the SG2.

Tuesday night, without any warning I lost all network services, IMEI number and Baseband. Through looking a few threads on here I think this means my EFS folder is corrupted?

Looking to fix the problem I have downloaded Lyrquidperfection EPS pro but am having trouble even getting the phone to be recognized by my laptop – it connects intermittently but then drops out. All I’m getting from EPS Pro is “device not connected”.

Any ideas on how I can a) get this working? And b) what are the chances of me using the software to get a working EFS folder from the backup I made using CWM??

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm in a unique position to trade my International Note II for a brand new AT&T Note II. I can't make up my mind, so I'd like to see what you guys think.

This is how I see it:

Advantages to International Model:

No Bloatware

Tethering works out of the box (though it's easy to download Foxfi)

Timely updates

Has split screen already

Advantages to AT&T version

LTE

While LTE is nice, my HSPA+ speeds are plenty fast. I'm just not sure it's worth it to move to a branded device for faster internet. What do you guys think? I know the AT&T model will get the split screen eventually, but it will likely be months and every update after that will be on the International model long before the branded model sees it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtharp2:
Do you root and/or flash custom ROMs/kernels? It really depends on your use case. Personally, I am staying stock for a bit, but I'll eventually root; I am on AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
I don't really do custom ROMs, but I have been rooting lately just to block ads (hate them). So custom roms isn't really a factor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Can anyone confirm if AT&T removed the display mode switcher (i.e. dynamic, standard, movie, etc.) from theirs? They did in the GSIII, though I have absolutely no idea why they don't just leave it in. It hurts nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Android The Greek:
Id root and run international firmware with lte
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendsley:
The International version won't run on att lte bands. I say you would be better off getting the att version and then running something like clean rom on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtharp2:
Agreed. Get an AT&T, root it, flash with the international, and get the best of both worlds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
No it was not removed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
I know you said you don't do customs ROM, but doesn't make sense to so. AT&T Note II with a custom and you get ALL the benefits (and more).

I wasn't gonna root, but went ahead because I wanted the multi-window. Now I can use multi-window with any app I want, have no bloat, LTE and get better battery life. Extremely happy ROMed Note II.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nickel Dime Bay:
I just switched from the International model to the ATT one. The LTE alone is worth it plus you can port ROM's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] greyhulk:
Thanks for the advice, guys. Made the swap today and rooted. Now I'm just on the hunt for the right ROM.
[HTC One X] nagpochenpo:

Mad props to TRF-Inferno for the work on ICS AOSP Email.

Now that JB is pushed out to the masses, can we begin work on getting AOSP Email and Exchange (preferably with the option to disable security policy) working on the OTA JB update? I know some have tried a few apks and I will certainly be attempting some installs and configs. If you have any advice, experience, or tips, please share.

Other than the Blur email apps this is most definitely the best phone available. I came back to it after returning a HTC DNA.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Did you try even the most basic search of XDA or google about insufficient storage??

Obviously not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shmi117:
Well I want to disable the hardware key lights, or the soft-keys on the T989. I've tried searching Google, XDA, and everywhere I look the solution is either old, doesn't work, or is not ROM specific to MIUI. I'd really love to use MIUI, but the lights for the keys are stopping me from using it. Anyway, is there anyway (and don't mention Adjbrightness) I can turn these off whether it be manually or thru using an app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
I don't think this is rom-specific, but make a backup in case!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1866681

It worked for me in the past :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shmi117:
Thanks, but I don't want to turn them all off. I just want the lights to be shut off. I still want to retain functionality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
Ahhh gotcha. Look up the screen filter app. In the app, you can turn off the soft keys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shmi117:
Yeah I tried it already when I first tried MIUI. It didnt work :( It's like no app works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] erikdared:
I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but I'm having a hard time googling for the answer to this.

I'm planning a trip abroad and I'm wondering if I can just take my VZW Galaxy S III along and drop in a SIM from a local carrier when I get there? I've seen one thread which had a very complicated process for doing so, but I'm wondering if I can skip that since I am running CyanogenMod 10. I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

Can you guys shed some light on this for me?

[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
resevered for possible change log
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
and again for possible instructions
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
ah ha! the kernel verson 3.8_rc3 has native tegra support!!! now to try and get the drivers for the rest of the hardware integrated.
[Motorola Droid X2] 754boy:
Is this good news? lol
[Motorola Droid X2] bad bone:
I don't know just figured it means someone has something up there sleeve:rolleyes::p

Sounds like a new kernel for the mx2

don't be scared it's only a phone :)

old ladies :( ^
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Oh it's not bad news it just means that my job just got a little easier. That however doesn't mean that it'll work right off the bat or that I can get everything working at once. Not to mention its stability might be questionable but it should work
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
is development of kexec relevant to droid x2 users at all
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Yes and no there are things that are different between the mx2 and dx2 the kexec tools and command will mostly likely be useable between the two along with the kernel except for a few differences like the wifi, but the pointer for where the kexec is supposed to load the kernel is different most likely
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Theoretically have the kernels prepared to compile for base use and work. No display, wifi, ect. Will get around to compiling the kernel aand kexec command and tools eventually. Though I'm stuck at a stand still till I can somehow get the proper ATAGS.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
in the mean time i shall be working on getting files and stuff transfered for backup on github for anyone who wishes to take a look. and just an update for everyone work on this will essentially stop as of now. not just cause i dont have the atags but because of life (aka. school, work, ect.)
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
I got around to talking to my inside Guy at my carrier. The Guy who made the kernel swap is not comfortable letting people outside the company have it but to let me know that it is possible to do I just have to figure out how.
[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
Is there anything I/the rest of the community can do to help out?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
research. i have what i need... i think i just need more information. and i need to get a hold of twitish and see if he can create some atags for us using the cdt.bin i have and seeing what we can do with that. after i get far enough im gonna need testers and thats where anyone who wants to voulenteer their time and risk sbfing thier phones come in to play. right now im just stuck cause i havent compiled the kexec command and tools and kernel to run on the tegra processor and i dont have the atags for memory location for inserting the new kernel in to runing memory. till i get around to doing those things this is where were gonna be.
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
Oh hey! Glad to see you're working hard on this kexec!!! :D

Now, I hate to be a negative nancy, but the CDT.bin doesn't hold the entire ATAG... You would somehow need to get one from the device itself (or in our case, edit them from another phone to our needs). To be honest, I haven't really looked much at kexec these past few weeks, but I should be able to start back up sometime this week. PM me if you have any information that you think may help!!! I'm more than willing to help you out man!
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
we should be able to use the cdt to edit one that you or dzk used though ive been thinking that its possible to use what ever you guys find that works for the dx2 for the mx2
[Motorola Droid X2] unimatrix725:
I did not find mention of ATAGs in the following PDFs: Tegra2 Ref. Manual and Tegra2 Embedded Controller interface spec. There is allot of info to those manuals, quite a bit I do not understand. Do you have access to these manuals? I have them and a few notes (pages) "Tegra Boot Flow". They would probably be of some assistance to you or may reveal a different attack vector to achieve kexec2.

On a unrelated rant note I have hung on to CheeseCake and check yest and nothing.... (I Use it When SBF, ROm'n) I am still furious with Moto, hell if a no name brand tablet at K-Mart can have 512MB ram and Ice Cream or Jelly.... wtf
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
I'm a registered tegra developer through nvidia, so I have the documents. I just haven't spent along time reading through them. Ill go back through when I get the chance. As for cheesecakeing its not worth it for our phone anymore. If there was something to be found it would have been found by now.

On a side note hard drive failed so I've been set back a bit. My phone still lives but is still coming apart at the seems. And I won't be able to test the headphone Jack for sound out put as mine has failed completely.
[Motorola Droid X2] unimatrix725:
I figured that with cheese, but hell "sun shines on dogs ass once n a while". lol

The manuals are an interesting read, sometimes boring or stressful. Have held onto mine for awhile and its still in like new condition. Just think it could be a killer phone! Read a new article mentioning a NEW law passed allowing cell unlocking and the tools behind it. (Reversal of Library of Congress)

But I wish you good luck!
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
The unlock thing only really applies to using phones on different networks.

On another side note. Got my upgrade early. I have moved on to the galaxy s3. This does not mean I won't be working on the kexec for the mx2. It just won't be the priority.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meat614:
What are proper figures for doing this?

Im sure this is a noob question but I messed with stweaks a bit and my phone has rebooted randomly twice since. Could this be why?

Problem just started and I've been running this problem free jellythunder!

I'm overclocked to 1.8 and undervolted all by -100. I've had it set on boot complete for about a month now and have never had any issues. I'm not saying you won't either but this is what's worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] warfanax:
I envy you. When I set -100 all phone gets stuck and reboots most of the time. when I set -75 still the same. Dirves me crazy.

Any word on 128GB MicroSDXC cards guys? Ive got a quite large music collection in .FLAC and id love to be able to shove at least most of it on my Note II since the DAC is so nice.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
I think it only take up to 64gb
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KosanRio:
Nope if it supports SDXC it'll take up to 2TB (When they're released)

In fact most things with SDHC support will take SDXC cards if they're formatted FAT32.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
While you are in the future can you grab a flux capacitor? Been needing to pick that up :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KosanRio:
But 64GB Micro SDXC cards have been out for at least a year now...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twin46235:
The only reason they say up to 64gb is because 128 were not available during the time the phone came out. They do work have one in my phone right now. Just wish I could put some of my apps on it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kilogramz718:
Is this true?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
"The Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) format supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification."

The next iterations of cards we will see will be 128, 256, 512 and then 1tb and 2tb. Seems farfetched with the sizes but about 10 years ago I purchased a 128MB (yes megabyte) card for $80 at walmart for my Compaq Ipaq.

I have a samsung smart tv that i like using allshare with but I installed a rom and seems like all the other reasons have certain apps like this removed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
it's broken on any ROM that has a custom recovery.

basically, as soon as you flash a customer recovery, it sets your flash counter at 1 (semi)permanently, and "Triangle Away" can't "fix" this. You must be on a stock recovery for AllCast to work, as the feature has some built-in "DRM" that won't let it function with a flash counter at anything but 0.

I got my phone, and rooted it within an hour, installing TWRP as well. I was completely stock besides the root and recovery. I had bought the TV AllCast dongle, and was freaking out that I couldn't connect, would connect for half a sec then say it was disconnecting.

If I had searched a bit first here, I would have found a few threads explaining this. So I flashed back to the stock recovery just so I could use this feature.

I'm sure at some point in the future one of our amazing devs will find a fix/"workaround" for this. Or so I hope. For now, stock is ok with me. (You can be rooted though. see my sig for how to get there.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamice4u:
Just get Imedia it is better.

I use Imediashare this will solve your problem. The have a free version that works well too. I prefer imediashare over allcast anyways.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasty:
The recent update to Google search seems to have introduced some new bugs.

My I9300 is set to UK locale, yet after the update, a voice request "what is the weather in Portsmouth" spoke the answer in Fahrenheit and an American female voice instead of the previous Celcius and a UK voice.

I don't seem to be able to change it back again. Annoying!

With "Google Now" enabled, it can get the units correct, but still American voice. Anyway, I tend to keep Google Now switched OFF by default to save battery power.

Any ideas, apart from wait for another update?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:

Hey everyone. I have maybe five or six back ups on my external sd and I tried deleting them through cwm, it doesn't delete the unnecessary blobs I have. My backups take over 15-20gigs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
After you deleted the backups, did you select the option in recovery to "Free up space" on the internal or external sd card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
No I didn't see that. Will that delete just the blobs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
It'll delete the blobs that are not needed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It deletes the excess blob files associated with the backups that you deleted. That's why they are separate options: delete backups and free up space. If you deleted backups saved on the internal, free up space on the internal via CWM. Same goes for the external sd card. It won't be a night and day difference unless you deleted say 4 backups of the 6 you previously had.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ahpatel:
If I'm running out of space on the internal SD card, can I just cut/paste the backup folder to my external SD card or does that mess up the backup/blobs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
Weird. It didn't free up space on my external sd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
You would need to take the entire clock work mod folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You need to cut/paste the entire CWM folder which contains both the actual backup folder AND blobs folder. CWM backups are a two part deal. You're fine if you do this, I copy/paste one entire backup to my computer.maybe once a month. I only keep one backup on my phone and an older one on a computer.

How many backups do you have on your external sd card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
Five but in total I had ten and deleted just the back ups on my external sd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hmm, 5 backups at 2 GB apiece should take up about 12-14 gb now. How large is the backup folder and how large is the blobs folder? You may have to delete more to delete more backups and free up space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
The thing about the blobs are they are the shared data between your backups so if you deleted 5 backups but they were the same ROM just different days. It will only delete the blobs that were that ROM. So if your 5 now a're all different you really still have 5 full backups that still take around 10 gb or so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
Sounds about right then. I have 6 backups and blobs take up about 12gigs.thanks guys!
