[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquithyX:
Hi, I have been asked to repair a SGS2 for a friend. The problems he described with it are that it would not turn on, enter recovery or download mode...but would display a battery logo with a circle in it for approx 5seconds with USB power attached. He says this all happened after re-flashing using Kies - he is not very phone / IT literate.

Repair Process:

1) After some research, testing and messing about I made a USB jig for it and it booted into download mode, though only with USB power attached. Connected to ODIN and re-flashed the phone with the stock ICS UK rom (IML74K.XWLP7)...Success the phone accepted the flash no problems, but still had the same non-booting / flashing battery logo only with power error, though it would now go into download mode without the jig.

2) Did more research on here...Thanks to all the useful posts!!! And discovered that the error could be caused by the battery being totally dead, and the phone unable to boot-up enough with USB to be able to charge it - great idea Samsung, to charge the battery you must first power up off the dead battery. Not having or being able to access / borrow a SGS2 myself I decided to try to manually charge the battery by making a charging dock for it. Before charge battery had 3.53v and after 30min on-charge had 3.68v, put freshly charged battery into phone...same problem totally dead unless plugged in then flashing battery logo with USB power.

3) Lots of swearing and cursing at phone, then had a few bottles of Pear Cidre. Decided would be good idea to attack phone again! Took fully charged battery from a HTC Wildfire and for want of better description jump started the SGS2. SGS2 in one hand, Wildfire battery in other and soldering iron in mouth i think, a battery booster was born. Connected booster to SGS2 and without USB power connected turned on phone...Success it lived, finished flashing its self and booted up. Removed booster and phone reported the battery had 98% charge.

4) Passed out in bed... awoke this morning to find phone still on and working well, battery had dropped to 82% in 10h. Decided to bite bullet and turned phone off to see if it will turn back on again and...It did. Repeated process six or seven times through morning as well as using for You Tube and Interned to run battery down, still only got it down to 41%. Though would try my SIM card in to test that all works well and after turning phone off, pulling back off and putting SIM card in without removing battery it all worked great...But then turned phone off, removed SIM and accidentally knocked battery out -D'oh, did not think anything of it until i tried to power back on...dead without power and flashing battery logo with USB power, used battery booster again and phone powered on no problems at all and reports battery power without booster of 29%

Does anybody have any idea whats going on? / Why if the battery is removed from the phone it will not power on at all, even with a charged battery?????

Thank you in advance for your input!

hey,

i have MOTOROLA XT910 RAZR about an half a year and i cant get all my messages right.

an income and outcome messages on the phone are working perfectly, though the main problem are messages from whatsapp and facebook.

i only recieve whatsapp messages when im checking them manually, need to open the app and then it shows me if i get a message or not.

i thought it is something with my data roaming so i tried to shut it down but it didnt help. i tried to google it but i cant find any solutions...

the same is with the facebook app, i only recieve new messages after im already telikng to someone. with whatsapp if i wont check manually i can get the message after 3 or 4 hours and even not at all. i tried even to cancel my smart actions but this not seems to be helping either.

i think it something with my synchronizing of background data but i cannot fix that although i tried so many times.

i appreciate all help.

thanks :)

Stock with Franco:

Will it work? Will it give the same benefits as CM 10.1?

Will OTA work? If I sideload OTA will I have to reflash kernel?

CM 10.1:

If I flash new ROM/update ROM, will kernel stay?

Thanks,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robs898:
Yes the kernel will work. The kernel and rom in CM10.1 is obviously different to stock and francos so im not sure how they compare - try both yourself ? :)

Im not sure about OTA. I would just flash a AOSP stock ROM every time there is an update just in case if you want to stay on stock.

If you flash a new ROM no the kernel will not stay you have to flash the kernel again as CM10.1 (like most ROMs) comes with its own kernel that will overwrite your current one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:

My phone isnt overclocked and has got Droidwall installed(the configuration shouldnt get in the way with skype).

Do you see something that I dont or do you know the problem?

Thanks for helping me :)

[HTC EVO 3D] JimzFreebies:
What do you think of the HTC RC E190 headset? Who has experience with it in our HTC EVO 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] spaceosc:
i was considering writing a review about this after buying a 3 Pack in purple for 15 bucks at Pennywise.biz

there alot of mentions of this headset online but no real information. its an excellent headphone. there isnt distortion for almost all music. great bass and treble. it can be very loud but its greatest strengths are that its very durable, and has as much isolation as anything can offer.

It does have a Mic and it picks up everything. sounds reasonably good for the other person.

given that it has 3 Buttons, REV Pause/Answer FWD

On the HTC Evo 3D it sounds great and will give you the kind of sound you expect from 50-100 dollar headphones. after a year of using Klipch S4i's i find this better or at least the same concerning sound.

Center button behavior on the EVO 3D with the HTC Music app is the ability to answer calls and hang up, or call on voice search, and to start music, pause music, double tap to make a call immediately.

REV to restart the song or go to previous track, Long REV rewinds.

FWD to skip to the next song, Long FWD will Fast Forward

that is ALL it does. as far as i know this behavior cannot be changed at all. these behavior also occurred thru multiple ROMs including ASOP, Gingerbread, ICS and JB. and the Google Play Music and on PowerAMP and a few other music related apps.

i Also tried it on other platforms.

Ipod Nano, only center buttons does the usual center button related things. REV and FWD are not detected. it also does this on an Ipod Touch.

Samsung TMO S2 T989: the REV and FWD buttons change the volume, does not change tracks, the Center button pauses and starts, double tap skips, triple tap rewinds. this is the exact behavior of the S4i on Iphone and i prefer this to track changing.

HP Touchpad CM10: the center button pauses and stops, other buttons do nothing

HP Touchpad Webos: stops and starts music.

that is all the testing ive done on the headphones, hopes it helps someone.:laugh:
[HTC EVO 3D] fkofilee:
Nice, shame i hate in ear buds. Ive always found it interesting the way that the buttons do different functions on each makers device.

The Headset profile has always eluded me when going to mod something.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
I was using a 32GB Lexar Class 10 card on a GS3. When I got the Note 2, I put the 32GB card in it and was working fine.

Last week I got a 64GB SanDisk UHS-1 card from Amazon ($38 sale). I used it in the GS3 for a few days and was OK. But when I try to use it in the Note 2, there are issues. Most of my files show as 0 byte in Astro or Root Explorer, and I can't copy/paste files or save camera images to the 64GB card.

But once I put the 64GB card back in the GS3, it works just fine.

One thing I did (before placing any files on the 64GB card) was to format it as FAT32 so that CWM would be able to access it. I'm not sure if having the 64GB card as FAT32 is causing the problem with the Note 2, or if it must be in exFAT to work right with the Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
probaly needs to be reformatted on the note 2 for it to be recognized. So backup all files on it to pc and try again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:
I'm using the same card without any issues. Def try some formatting options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
I was hoping there was a simple fix, or just a permission issue, but I could reformatt it on the Note 2 if that's what it takes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
hmm i popped mine out of my gs3 and slid it right into the gn2 with no issues...formatted to fat32 aswell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
I ended up reformatting the 64GB card in the Note 2 and check it on the PC, which showed it as exFAT. Then copied my data from the 32GB card to the 64GB card, and it then worked OK in the Note 2. I'm not sure if it was because I first had it formatted at FAT32, and that caused the problem with the Note 2, or if it could have been something else.

But a quick Google search shows a lot of people have had issues with 32GB and 64GB cards on the SGS3/Note2. Some are issues with recognition, read/write issues, files corrupting or disappearing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
like i said mine worked flawless swapping from s3 to gn2 and its formatted to fat32...but yes i agree it seems to be hit or miss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
I "cloned" my 16GB Sandisk card (from my OG Droid) to my new 64GB Sandisk Ultra via a program called HDD Raw Copy from HDD Guru and then I used a program minitool partition wizard to resize the resulting 16GB partition on the card back up to the full size of the card. It is a FAT32 format.

Both of these tools are free.

I am not having any issues as of yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pcsperson:
I haven't had any issues with my card, just placed it the phone and it was recognized. Do we need to format the card first, or is that only if you are having issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
I am using a SanDisk 64GB microSDHC card, formatted mine in Fat32 when I got it and no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kregstrong:
Mine keeps saying card damaged. 64 GB. Can't get it recognized to format it fat32
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
Use a memory card reader in your PC, open a command prompt and do a CHKDSK X: /F

where X is the drive letter of the memory card.

I had to do that a couple months ago using my Lexar 32GB microSDHC card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kregstrong:
Dang I dont have a card reader lol. Do I have to put it in a mini SD card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
I have a mutil-card reader in my PC that has one for microSD cards.

Otherwise you'd have to use a microSD to standard SD converter, and place that in a standard sized SD card reader.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
I just posted a question about how every time I flash a new ROM I get a damaged SD card. My card is a 64gb ex fat micro SD. I keep wondering if its because its not fat32. So the thing you did in the command prompt. That will reformat my 64gb ex fat to fat 32?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
Try this program to format as your 64GB card as FAT32

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

Even though it worked for me, I started to get errors after moving my 64GB card from a Galaxy S III to a Note 2, and two weeks ago reformatted the card back to default exFAT. Since then it's been working fine.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuongnwn87:
You should try both of them then decide. DSC is 2.3.3 rom and CM7 is 2.3.7, I choose DSC cuz is light and fast.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmdn_thiru:
best rom

MIUI 2.4.20 is ever best rom i installed in my dell streak 5. i used froyo, gingerbread, longhorn. but this MIUI is smoother, faster, graphically rich among those roms. you may find the thread---[Rom] Streak MIUI 2.4.20 English----in this development forum, and install in ur streak. there are many themes. so you didn't install any other home like go launcher or other. the icons, statusbar, wallpaper, locker, settings and graphics are very impressive and you can't stay without that. i didn't face any errors after installed it. thanks to MIUI team for this great rom.:good:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
With the plethora of ROMs, what is the "better" ROM is subjective at best. The moderators themselves tend to frown on such threads.

CM7-based ROMs work well, except the camera's zoom function doesn't work and there is no dock support. In addition, PureCM7 has no haptic feedback support for the capacitive buttons, although the on-screen buttons it does use have that support.

MIUI is an unknown quantity to me. Depending upon its sources it may have the same issues as CM7-based ROMs.

DSC is the only ROM where everything works as it is supposed to. This is because it is based upon the Olleh KT Gingerbread ROM for the Streak.

You won't know which is best, until you actually try them for yourself.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geogs:
I got HTC Wildfire and i just installed RemPuzzle 2.83(which is great btw but that's not the point here)

and my CWM recovery is v2 or i don't remember.

i had v5 in my sd card.

i booted on my recovery(old version) and then i selected to install v5.

from v5 i selected to partition the sd card(options 4GB memory and swap 0) :silly:

it completed the task and after that the sd card is uselless.

the phone can't read the sd and my computer(windows) suggests to format the sd card but it cannot complete the task.

my question is

can i get the sd card working again or it's going to the trash can?

i don't care about the data inside,before anything was done i ha backup done to my pc.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Use clockworkmod v 5 to format the SD card :D or just re-partition again with a swap size :p
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geogs:
my phone can't recognise the sd card.not even in recovery.when i selected wipe sd card it says "skipped sd card - complete"

as an effect i also can't partition again the sd card from my mobile.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamgirqazi:
Try to format your sd card via cmd (windows).

Just a thought.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geogs:
didn't work either..

cannot complete the task.

i'm gonna try with a partition manager and see if i have any luck..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Using an sdcard reader use the windows program called easeus partition master. If that doesn't work your only hope may be a Linux terminal. But make sure you use a different card reader as to rule out the phone as an issue.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
Hiya mate, have a try with Heavy_Metal_Man suggestion with a partition manager, a good one I use is Mini Partition Manager, it has detected the 3 cards I have broke before :silly:

mount it to pc,

completely remove all partitions

and create 1 new partition across entire card,

reboot in to recovery when it tells you its created the partition.

and try it again :)

Hope this helps, if it did click " Thanks " on the posts you think helped! :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geogs:
ok guys.

thank you for your help.

i solved it...

i used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition (with card reader) and saw the sd card and recreated all the needing staff so the sd card could be usable again.

what i did with CWM recovery is that i didn't replace totally the stock CWM,i just run the v5 something like virtually.and that created the problem.

thank you guys for your response!

cheers.
