Hello I just wanted to ask when will liquid smooth beta 3 will come out because I've been hearing rumors about it. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
It'll come out when it comes out. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CaLLm3LAzY-:
Hah thanks I guess. Ha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
In the future you might get flamed when asking for an ETA. Good thing you did it here first lol :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y0yerrj0sh:
I definitely feel your pain in waiting for rom updates, but yeah they don't like being asked for ETA's.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Very true...

But let not give the guy a hard time

His user name does include "lazy" in it

Kidding kidding Lol

But yeah no ETA unless the developers states otherwise :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CaLLm3LAzY-:
Haha true true haha but not really lazy though. But I switched to task AOKP ROM its more stable. And what dose eta mean? Sorry if its a dumb question.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Yeah I'm running AOKP too :)

Estimated Time of Arrival to my knowledge...

XDA might have another acronym but the point is don't ask or demand when developers will release stuff since they do this for free n stuff :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CaLLm3LAzY-:
Its pretty good rom. Oh ok hah now I'll know not to ask in there form.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Childofthehorn:
Which version?

Is it T-Mobile or ATT? If so use my method. If it is one of the p5xxx versions, just get CWM and then Root through that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy.Girl:
Dear Forumers!

I hope you can help me because I try to find solution and answers for my phone on the net but unfortunately I can't. I've never had before smart phone so I don't know what to do e.g. root and so on, but firstly: I see really strange things and my "Android friends" : ) say also that here is something isn't OK. But what and why?

I received this Samsung Galaxy S II from London and now it is here in Hungary with me.

- In Settings/About phone menu I see this: Android version is 4.0.3 and Build number is Gingerbread.ZNKI2. I read and heard this is absolutely impossible but on my phone it is possible. (You can see on the attached photo in About Phone and an other which is made with Android System v1.25.2 app.)

If you don't see clearly:

Android: 4.0.3

Baseband version: I9100GZNKI2

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEI-44 #2

Build number: Gingerbread.ZNKI2

- In the same place, Settings/About phone menu I see this: Model number: GT-I9100G (you can see on the pic attached) but on the phone box I see it without G, so only: GT-I9100 and when I turn on the phone I see also only: GT-I9100. I downloaded some system info apps and these show that this is a model with G. What should I believe in? Because I heard if it is not a G and I make the root and install software like a not G model than I can make damages in my phone.

- The IMEI number is not the same under the battery and in the phone (with the *#06# code and in the Settings/Status/IMEI information). It is particular that the numbers are almost the same becuase only 2 digits are reversed. e.g.:

Under the battery: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 8 _ _ _ _

In the phone: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 2 _ _ _ _

- My phone just power off when the battery is about 40-50-60 %.

- I have to charge it about 5-6 hours, but I can use it max. 1,5 hours.

- There are a lot of force close when I try to play a game (e.g. Fruit Ninja, but Angry Birds is just loading, just loading and nothing happen, so on).

- On the box there is that it is 16 GB internal memory but in the phone there is 2 GB internal memory. Is it possible that somebody made something and disappeared 14 GB internal memory?

- Under the battery I see this: Made in Korea By Samsung but on the box there is this availability: samsung.com/cn

As I know this phone made in the China (because the "/cn") because on the boxes there are the the manufactoring locations reference and I heard G models are made in China. OK, but now which is the true? My phone is made in China or Korea?

- In the Camera menu I can't change the picture size to 8 MP but this phone have to know and make 8 MP pictures. In this option all of the sizes are inactive only the 3 MP is active to select. (You can see on the attached photo.)

- And there are some smaller strange things but these are the weirdest.

I would like to know what are these things and why are these in my phone and what should I do? And how can I root this phone (G or not G) and install a software on the way that I do not make damages in the phone? Do you have any ideas or good advice?

I would be grateful for you! :angel:

(Sorry for the long text.)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Hungary huh? Good looking chicks down there.

Where did you buy it from and how much did you pay for it?

I think, by the shots and the looks of the phone, that you've just been ripped off with a fake chinease device :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy.Girl:
Galaxy

Hi,

I don't understand why people say here are a lot of good chicks. : )) But I don't mind, I like boys. : )

Where:

In London, in a shop.

How much:

I got this this phone as a Christmas gift. My brother live in London and he had an original (that's for sure) iPhone and he exchanged (swapped?) his original iPhone for this Galaxy S II in the shop, where he bought the iPhone.

This is the reason that I think it is also original phone and I saw a lot of videos on youtube and read a lot of article on the net about fake phone-s but I thought that it is original.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umair241995:
If the touchscreen isn't as responsive as the original galaxy S2+based on your info...you've been fooled..

Go and try to return the phone from wherever you've bought it from...Or atleast contact the seller..

I've seen many chinese copy of GS2...can only tell if its legit after handling the phone...this is the first copy whose body is exactly same with "SAMSUNG" written on it with no mistake..

It shouldn't work with Kies either then..

But yea...in custom ROMs the developer can change the build number as suitable to him...

I can't believe it was exchanged for an iphone...to ask me you should give 2 iphones for a GS2..its much much better..

Simply take it to a samsung store and get it checked...but don't tell me if they laugh at you..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
A quick search of the hardware suggests its a chinese clone.

Post pics of where the sim/memory cards go.....or do they go in the normal place.

Did he buy it from a phone shop or chinese takeaway?.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy.Girl:
umair241995

The screen is OK and it is beautiful so I think it is really Amoled screen with Gorilla Glas, because scratching doesn't cause trouble for it.

I also thought for it: becauseas the iPhone was used maybe this is also used and is it possible that somebody install a bad ROM to the phone and maybe these are the reasons? Can somebody root badly a phone or install software?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy.Girl:
theunderling

Here are 3 pics atteched, you can also see the SIM card place.

It is not a Chinese takeaway. : )

I read here on XDA in a topic if you see T-Flash (but I don't know what is it) and there are only 3 jack to the battery then it is a fake phone. But as I wrote it is maybe a G model so it can be 3 jake. I think it is not problem...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Yeap, that is some chinease-fake-SII. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umair241995:
Whoa... Well that's a 99% copy of GS2 then. ..

Chinese phones usually don't copy each and every detail and keep something which is different from the body of the original phone. ..

Install some app and check is hardware. ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I'm fairly certain that the build number is easily edited in the build.prop file. You can make it say whatever you want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Look at this bad boy. See the resemblance?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy.Girl:
gastonw and umair

I can't believe it. Why is it a fake phone? And what are the differences? Okey, I wrote a lot of stranges and maybe it is not so fast but if I root and intsall a new software it will the same, isn't it?

As I know the G model is manufactured only in China but these phones also original Samsung. (On my phone there is Made in Korea by Samsung but this is one thing... This still can be a chinese made, original Samung phone, isn't it?)

And if this is the G model and you have maybe the normal model (without G) does it possible that your phone looks like different from the G?

Ok, I installed apps and checked the hardware:

with a DeviceInfo app:

Manufacturer/Brand: Samsung

Model/Board/Device: GT-I9100G

Hardware: mt6573

RAM: 949248 kB

ICC Card: false

Display: Diagonal 3.89 inches, Width 2 inches, Height 3.33 inches, Widht 480 pixels, Height 800 pixels, Density High, DPI 240

CPU: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l), Features: swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java, BogoMIPS 634.06, ABI: armeabi

Sensors: AMI304 Orientation sensor, AMI304 3-axis Magnetic Field sensor, MT6516 3-axis Accelerometer, CM3623 Proximity sensor, CM3623 Light sensor, MPU3000 gyroscope sensor, Gravity sensor, Linear Acceleration sensor, Rotation Vector sensor

with an other Device Info app:

CPU ABI: armeabi

Manufacturer/Brand: samsung

Hardware: mt6573

Device: GT-I9100G

Display: Gingerbread.ZNKI2

Fingerprint: samsung/GT-I9100G/GT-9100G:4.0.3/IML74K/XXLPH:user/release-keys

Host: SEI-45

Battery: Voltage 3859mV, Technology Li-ion

CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v71), BogoMIPS 1198.26, Features: swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java, CPU implementer 0x41, CPU architcture 7, CPU variant 0x0, CPU part 0xb76, CPU revision 7, Hardware: T1 Samsung board, Revision: 65fb8a00

Screen: Resolution 480x800, Refresh rate 68.0, X factor for DIP 1.5, Density 240dpi

Sensors: the same like above

So the hardware is mt6573 and I "googled" it, I got e.g. a HDC A9100-MT6573 Chinese phone and for appearance it is the same with Galaxy S2, but on HDC there is no Samsung subtitle. But on my Samsung Galaxy there is a Samsung subtitle also front and back. So I can't beleive that it is not an original Samsung, just something is really strange with it, with the software. Don't you think?

I attached some other pics about he phone.

Maybe do u have any ideas for the other things? : )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
What other things?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
When I googled the hardware,I got CHINESE CLONE,not chinese phone.And it said it had some screen like hdva(cant remember the letters)...not the high quality amoled.Think it also said the processor was about a 3rd of the power of a proper one.

And a clone is normally a ripped off version with inferior build quality thus cheaper price.

And Im away to get some chicken chow mein with fried rice.....all this talk about chinese is makin me hungry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
You can also check the back, you'll notice that says "MOBIL PHONE" instead of MOBILE PHONE.

I'm telling you, your brother got ripped off (or not). That's 100 % fake.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Did you check that thread? it's the same phone.

CE 0168 as well :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy.Girl:
gastonw

Of course, I checked it, but this phone is not the same with my phone. Just look the pics about the 'About phone menu" on his and on my. And the icons are also different. Why is it not ok if we have a T-flash on the back? Or the Mobil and not MobilE?

Maybe just the software is not OK in my phone. The appearence is the same like a Samsung. And if it is not Samsung how can be the Samsung subtitle on the phone and in some device info app? And so on... I don't understand...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy.Girl:
your phones

Can you show me pics about your phones (the back under the battery, of course without the IMEI number) and which model do you have (G or not G) to compare? Sorry, just I can't beleive this...

theunderling:

And how can it be possible, that a Chinese clone wear the Samsung subtitle? If this is not a Chinise phone (because it's not) but a clone how can China make the same phone like the Korean Samsung? This is high for me...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Im sorry I cant answer that.All I can say is that Ive had several genuine S2's and they look different from yours both aesthetically and softwate wise.

I cant advise you what software to flash/update to as it could brick the phone.Your guess is as good as mines.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winks99:
Hey all,

Ive tried about a dozen "mono" apps and have found nothing that will do what I want. I have also tried the Droid Incredible and my current phone the GS3. I have a 2011 BMW and for some reason they didnt include a2dp in their stereo system. Nothing I do will force the stereo to play music or notifications, or read out lout texts through the car speakers. The only thing that will go through is phone calls.

HOWEVER, Ive accidentally discovered something interesting. If I am on a call through bluetooth in the car and navigating at the same time, the navigation voice will come through the cars speakers as well.

So what I need is something to trick the car into thinking my phone is on a call, thus triggering the bluetooth to transmit phone sounds through the speakers, this way I can use a text message reader, music, whatever.

So the app/hack would need to emulate whatever the phone does with bluetooth signals when it starts a call. All sounds the phone makes should go to bluetooth.....which it seems like its already doing while on a call.

Thanks to anyone who responds. Mod: If there is a better place for this, feel free to move it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dekrob:
I have a lexus that also for whatever reason doesnt have A2DP supported, there is a app called BTMONO that will make your radio think your phone is in a call and will transmit sound. However it is mono tone so if you are doing it for music it will not be your best bet.

I am still looking for something that will play music in stereo without the A2DP :(

I am working on this now for the SoundAbout app.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myxoh:
Secuence of events that happened BEFORE the problem started:

1-Had a working rom of CM7.2

2-Battery was going out too quickly (7 hours or so) therefore I tried wiping battery data

3-Charged the phone

4- Unplugged it, took a picture

Problem:

One hour later I realised it was turned off...

I turned it on again, it turned off soon afterwards

for a moment it had a problem turning on (it wouldn't go past the cm logo)

afterwards it was even worse; it turned off before even passing the first logo, I couldn't even get it to recovery mode.

Solution Attempt no.1

Tried to get it to stock rom with Odin.

I was able too... but the problem persisted in the new Rom.

Solution Attempt no.2

Tried to get another rom

My situation NOW

I'm back on stock Rom. If I leave my phone alone for like an hour or so it works for 20/30 secs before turning off... After that the problem gets worse till I cannot boot.

Any ideas guys?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
How old is the battery? There are apps on playstore to check your battery, thats where I would start. It doesn't sound like a Rom problem, sounds like hardware.ie battery first. Gluck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myxoh:
Can't have the phone on for 1 minute, forget about downloading and using an app from the store...

I don't know if it's a hardware problem since it happen really suddenly...and just the day after I resetted the battery stats ..... Maybe it is a hardware issue but I want to be sure I tested everything first
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drago10029:
Hey, maybe you moved on but I was having the same issue on every ROM.. stock or not. being the detective I am I investigated and inspected.

One of my battery connecting pins is loose even though it's pressed tightly in the case any moderate amount of force or impact loosens it from the contacts.

My temp solution for you would be to add something to the back cover to apply enough pressure to keep the battery still or resolder the copper connectors. The first being easier.

Hit thanks if that helps.

Hi guys.

Today, while I was playing with NOVA 3 and charging my phone, I notice that the battery of the S2 had been uncharged a little. This is a little weird because my phone was in charge. I know that games (NOVA 3 specially) are big battery eaters but I've never had a phone that discharges it battery if connected, neither sleeping or awake. Battery Widget says, with phone unplugged, that NOVA eats over 800 mA while playing. Is this nor.al? Anyone can play that game while charging and check if happen the same as me?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Fuel gauge, no worries.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanluckez:
So I need to reset fuel gauge? Or you may want to sat that altough phone marks that battery level, phone is actually charging. ?

Thanks !

PD: I use Official Extended Battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
If it suddenly drops from 60 % to 5 %, worry.

If it goes up on it's own, don't.

It's up to you, fuel gauge can be fixed. Read about it, It's here in xda somewhere.

Mine goes up 2, 3, 5 % when I unplug it sometimes, so I think of it as a wireless charger :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanluckez:
Not just that. But yes, it doesn't drop from 60 to 5, but goes up. However, that's not the problem. The problem is that when I'm playing phone demands more energy than provided by the charger, so battery goes down instead going up. I've never had a phone that do this way, playing games with the carger or not. This has made me think that could be a problem with the charge port or something like that so in order to discard this hipothesis I attach you my last charge history of tonight. I hope it's normal.

It seems like charge is irregular. At the first percents, battery grows slowly but in the middle of the capacity (~50%), charge rate is around 800 (while in theory our charger gives a max of 650 mA). That could be the answer. But I'd want to know if my charging is normal.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Nasty.

When batt gets to 100 % remove it and let it sit for a 3 min, then put it back.

There's a lot of battery threads here in Q&A.

Try searching key words like "charging" "volting","fuel gauge", "battery drop", "power drop" and so on.

Betterbatterystats is also a good app to see what's going on with your battery. Highly recommended.

What ROM are you on again? If stock, you can always flash a custom kernel, improves the battery life significantly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanluckez:
I'm on Stock 4.0.4 with Apollo kernel. Battery is not bad for me I think but the problems it has, like:

-With stock 1650 mAh battery: sometimes I got freezes while i'm playing and when I reboot the phone, battery has dropped from 60 % to 12 %. But if I leave my phone on idle, battery recharges itself. WEIRD.

-With both 1650 and 2000 mAh, if I play intensive games while phone is charging, battery doesn't load. Istead, battery drops 1 % per 10 minutes approximately. WEIRD.

Anyway, thanks for your answer. I will try better battery stats and read anything else in forum.
