[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
okay, here we go,

1) There are a lot o people that become some sort of experts on devices thanks to this forums. It takes houndreds - if not thousends - of hours reading posts and executing some things you learn here.

2) busybox is an app. It's Linux based and to tell you the truth, not too many people know exactely what it does, It's very difficult to pinpoint every single thing that this "busy" app performs; Just think of it like a an app that does a lot of things for other app(s) to perform better or to perform at all. You can download it directly from Playstore; bare in mind that sometimes the unlocking app will work with different versions of busybox, so you'll have to try and see. I'm now using "Busybox Free 8.9.7" & "Busybox Installer 4.1"

3) You can always change your MODEM, Baseband it's some sort of radio version that cell phones use to get service, some basbands work on many countries, regions, some don't, still...you always can "odin it" and change the modem (Always read about flashing modem with odin before you do anything).

4) Some ROMs will re-Networkl-lock your device, hell, happened to me every time I went up from Gingerbread - Ice Cream Sandwich - Jelly Bean Leak. The only thing you have to do is get the right tools so you can always unlock it without the drama.

These unlocking apps let you LOCK & UNCLOCK as pleased.

5) the EFS folder indeed contents your network information, IMEI and stuff, it's always good to back it up as it is an important folder for your device to function. I use HC-kTool to back it up whenever i need to.

There is an unlocking method that makes you modify the .bin file. Never done it before but some guys here do it all the time and actually works.

Some other member could enlighten you in this matter; makes sense that flashing a new modem would lock your phone but i wouldn's know. Still, as I've got all these wonderfull apps to unlock....I really don't give a damn :P

Open for corrections, I've just used common sense.

So what are the tools I need? I already tried 2 different sim unlocking apps on the play store and I got someone to try changing the upload ur nv_data.bin and it still doesn't unlock :(

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury1337:
Thanks alot for those "enligthments".

I don't know which method the guy I brough my phone to used to unlock it, but I reflashed the Omega custom rom yesterday and it actually didn't relock my phone :D ! But from now on I'm gonna be alot more cautious when flashing a new custom rom. Recovery backup from the CWM recovery mode, efs backup and maybe some Titanium backup too, even though I prefere having a clean "new phone" and install the apps by myself rather than referring to a backup. Yeah I know it's stupid but I like it that way.

Anyway, thanks again for your help and your patience, much appreciated c: .

Cheers.

Another question, my phone has 1h15m out of battery and its already on 95%, I went to Battery and says Screen used 64% of battery... what the hell... Just answered a 2min phonecall and sended max 15sms...checked a low res videoclip of IceAge(The SID dance) for like 30seconds total to test video quality.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
could it be that you have an INTERNAL SD Card of 16 GB and an EXTERNAL SD Card of 2 GB?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
On phone stock memory app it says:

Total space: 1,97GB

Apps: 559mb

Avaiable 1,31gb

USB Storage:

Total: 11,50gb

Then some

series

of

apps

videos

etc

SD Card:

Total: 15,04 GB

etc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
This is quite normal

This is the partition used for installed apps.

This is the remaining memory of the 16gb that isn't used by the above partition for apps, or for your system. It's also know as your internal "SD card", and you can store music, videos, pictures, etc. here.

This is your external SD card - the one you physically plugged into the SD card slot in the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
wow, so i'm limited to 2gb of apps? Ouch, I'm sad now :P

Plus the battey with my calculations on first day will only last ~18h and was not even close to medium use I think xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deviatesaw:
Try filling the internal memory. Unless your installing massive games its plenty believe me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Well lets see :P On SGSace with Link2SD I had 120 apps and some games and it filled me 1.3gb with sharing on SD card. I imagine all on Internal xD

I've been using a JB 10.1 SGT7 rom on my kindle fire http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2051331 that has some cool multi-user configuration enabled in the settings. You can create multiple profiles and lock down what apps that a profile can access then you lock down the main profile with the lockscreen.

Works great for keeping my son off youtube and the web and keeps him from messing anything up with the settings. Would it be possible to build SGT7 for the touchpad?
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] sstar:
Have you tried an app called SwitchMe the free version allows two user profiles .
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] KRavN:
Yeah, I've looked at it but it's a bit overkill. The SGT7 uses the new built-in multi-user features of jelleybean. It's nice you can hold the power and switch between users.

Noob question

Recently I have been working on an app for work. Things are going well, no issues. Using eclipse ide with android adt, etc. My question is, can i execute adb commands from anywhere inside eclipse. In the past, i have always done it from the command line. But in reading from the android developer site, and in talking to a friend Java developer (not android), you should be able to execute the command from somewhere inside eclipse. The problem is i cant find where? I cant type anything in the console window. There is nothing in debug or ddms. Thoughts?

Sorry for the noob question, but we all start somewhere.

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
I was using my Nexus 7 til it hit about 15% and the battery alert came out. I turned it off, plugged into the charger and left it there overnight. The following night I took it out of my pouch only to realise that its very warm. I had to press on the power button for a good 10 seconds before it turned on, and when it booted up the battery had only 5% remaining, even though it was fully charged (I checked to make sure it was 100%) and was left OFF the entire day.

I encountered this before but thought I solved the issue after wiping the device and flashing CleanROM 3.0 without any custom kernels or tweaks. Looks like the issue is back, any idea what might be wrong? I hope it has nothing to do with the physical battery itself because that would be a pain. Other than this, the day to day battery life of the tablet and stability is pretty good.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toidimaet:
My wife's phone does something very similar. Crashes, heats up and when she gets it back on the battery has taken an absolute hammering. Luckily it occurs only rarely and it appears that there are no long term consequences.

Cheers Danny
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
What phone is she using? Is it rooted?

Anyway I think i figured out why, i happened to notice it by chance. After full charge, i plug it out and notice the screen is actually turned on even though the device isnt! The screen is just showing a plain blank screen, but you can tell its turned on, by looking at an angle. I had to manually force a shut down by holding the power button before it goes off, then the tablet automatically switches on. It seems that it only happens when i charge the tablet while its switched off, I wonder if it has anything to do with the bootloader (Im on 4.2.1) or the charger itself.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toidimaet:
Galaxy s2 rooted, does not appear to be rom or kernel specific as it occurs with different combinations. Anyway good news you have at least identified the problem.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg420:
Sounds like it never charged. Why turn it off to charge it? Airplane mode is just as good.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
If thats the case have you tried re-calibrating the battery? Sounds like its pretty messed up, thats what i'd do.

It did charge because when i turned it back on it showed as 95%, the first 5% was drained because the screen was left "on" the whole time. I am beginning to suspect it is the case I use with the tablet. Its similar to those smart cases on the iPad where the screen auto ons/off when you flip or close the cover. I notice that even during the process of shutting the tablet down the flap still affects the screen off/on when i close it. A potential way of screwing up stuff. Next time I charge it turned off, I'll try removing the case entirely and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Alright this time I turned the tablet off and left it to charge over night WITHOUT the casing and now it's working fine. No screen on or any heat whatsoever. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedkunich:
Why are you turning it off to charge? Just plug it in and be done with it. I never turn any of my devices off - the only time my S2 has been off is to reboot to flash a new ROM. Never have any charging issues.

T
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Its just a habit i guess, and i always have the mentality that it makes a difference charging it while off :P

And its also good to reboot your phone once in a while, I usually do it once every 24 hours of use. Y'know, to flush out the RAM and OS so it can start anew. :highfive:

I'm running verygreen's image from an SD card. When I plug the USB cable from my HD+ to my computer, I can't access the SD card. I know I need to change the storage setting to mtp mode, but this option isn't available in my settings.

When I go to settings and click on Storage, on the right side it briefly flashes a bunch of settings, but they go away and it only shows "Internal Storage" (total space, apps, available), "SD Card" (total space, apps, pictures, available, unmount & erase card), and "Internal Storage" (total space, available).

No option to change to mtp or whatever. I see verygreen's latest ROM defaults to mtp mode, but this is bugging me. I should be able to change this.

Don't be nervous.

Brother,

What about the status of your phone right now?.

I hope your phone just had recovered it from brick.

My dear brother,

There are two kinds of brick.

1.Soft Brick

2.Hard Brick.

Both bricks can be recovered, the first one is alot easier.

First of all you should be getting your good mood first, When you are tensing so much, there is a high risk potential of getting situation worse than expected, i understood this by reading the way how you had wrote the post.

Let me help you bro...

1. Enter into the download mode, and let the phone rest there sometime(not in the procedure, but for the things we should be doing on the computer to get things right).

2. Uninstall the drivers you had installed and better reinstall the kies if you had done so... and restart the computer.

3. Getting the required things right, find the stock roms which suits you by regions and other things.

You can find those from Doky's Thread.

4. Connect the phone to computer direct to the slot which is coming from the motherboard(at the back of cpu) because it does have some unmentionable capabilities :D and you should have a UPS along with your computer(if the target turned off, that might lead to hard brick, i hope you hadnt done so).

5. open Odin, Set the packages right. Select, PDA, MODEM and CSC files and also dont forget to select the totoro.pit file if you need to re-partition the phone.

6. Your phone is being identified by the computer(it will bro) And then click on the start button. Let is go vroom, vroom.. :)

7. Phone automagically restarts if you checked the Aut-restart option in odin.

Tips for you..

1. Always install the right kernal.

2. Always Install the right ROM.

3. Always be don't be nervous.

4. And Some Patience.

Wishing all the success,

i design.Web :D

Press thanks if i have helped you or private message me if you need any help further. I am happy to serve you brother.. :)

I've got the same a day ago.

Just flash a random ROM. If you can't connect your phone to PC just use a Micro SD Adapter and input a CWM and the ROM into it.

When you got that done just put the SD card into your phone and go into Recovery Mode (If it won't go into Recovery then charge the battery to 100% and take it out for 30 mins, after 30 mins put it back in and go into Recovery) How to get to recovery? (Vol Up + Home + Power Button) When you are in recovery, the buttons you can use are Home, Vol up, Vol down. Select "Apply Update from Sd card" and press Home button, select CWM.zip, when you are in CWM select the "Wipe Data/ Factory reset", "Wipe Cache partition" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache". When you are done go to "Install zip from SD Card", "Apply zip from sd card" and select your ROM. Wait for it to install and select "Reboot System Now".

FORGOT TO MENTION (Dalvik's Cache is in "Advanced")

My cousin showed me this way and it helped! Hope it will help you!

Download a random ROM or two just to be sure!

Good Luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReppinTheSouth:
I'm having an issue charging my phone when it's powered off. I searched all over the internet and XDA and it isn't the "sudden death" issue because it still boots and will charge when it's on. There was a thread in the T-Mobile section where members were having similar issues.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916399&nocache=1

I'm saying all that because I don't want to get bashed and accused of not searching because I did :cowboy:

Anyway, whenever I try to charge my phone with the battery off, I get the battery icon with the spinning thing and that's it. I never see the percentage, the LED doesn't light up, and I can't boot the phone unless I pull the battery and unplug the charger. It's not a deal breaker although I could probably get another phone from Sprint.........or maybe even a new battery. Just trying to see if others are having the issue and if there's a fix. Thanks.
