[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Step aside from frequencies.

What I'd look after first (especially reading a bits about the I9300's SDS cases) is the warranty problem.

Several times here and in General section, some users have mentioned that Samsung US refuses to repair under the warranty this model bcs it is not officially sold in USA (presumably: they do not have I9300 parts in stock).

Furthermore, as I read the case, it was mentioned that EU's Samsung refuses the repair as well, if phone would be sent from US (yes, I know how it sounds like, I was amazed too that you can buy it from Amazon, but ...). therefore, the problem was: sending faulty phone somewhere to EU, sending it from EU to Samsung, and same way for the return.

Hey all,

Finally upgraded from my og epic to the sg3 and loving it so far. Only issue I'm seeing is sometimes when I try to back out of an app such as YouTube or Facebook, the screen turns black but I can see the status bar though unusable and the capacitive and home buttons are unresponsive, then the phone resets itself. I'm currently running stock jelly bean with root. Any ideas? I've though of going back to stock unrooted to see what's up.

Psn Memory hack is made for stock ROM and CM9/10

You can browse the android development section to check out whether there is memory hack for CM7

Even if you do have a working cm7 memory hack kernel, don't use it in conjunction with any a2sd scripts. You can get into trouble! Try cronmod scripts instead.

Hi, question is pretty simple I guess...

I'm under the impression CM10.1 contains Trebuchet 1.0, I'm on CM10 which uses 0.2.

Am I right? And if so, is the new version designed to run on 4.1.2 as well?

Cheers

Could someone please help me find a work around to an fm radio

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoAndroid:
Just use an app called IHeartRadio and has built it local FM station channels.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
Over the air FM broadcast radio is another feature Samsung chooses to leave out of their phones. Seems like a no-brainer to me to include it, as it was on my HTC Sensation. One time when high winds blew out AC power for over 2 days in my area, the FM radio on my phone was the only way to tune in reports on current conditions.

There are dozens of apps that will play streaming radio over an internet connection, but over the air FM radio reception has to be built in to the chipset on the phone and there is no app that can give you this feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JUSMEJOSE:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingcarlo12:
This is the best phone I have ever had but I cant believe they didnt include fm radio on it. I also use tunein and iheart but they are battery hogs.

I have always used Xiialive due to it's perfect integration with Shoutcast. Winamp is also a good choice and can also be your music player.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] f4phantomii:
Are you certain the chipset doesn't support it?

I know the stock G2 ROM didn't support it, but the hardware was there. Flashing one of the CM ROMs enabled it and it worked great.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
Pretty sure but would welcome being proven wrong!

I had 2 extra batteries for this phone and used my car to recharge them when they got low.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Doesn't the international version have fm radio? Although I have to confess... never got spirit fm radio to work on this phone. Worked fine on my G2. I just can't understand why tmobile would leave it out when some of the other models have it. Maybe to sell more data plans, huh? ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] el0heem:
i'm not a genius or anything so this is just me throwing ideas around

if you're able to send FM signal, you may be able to develop an app that sends FM signal?

wouldn't that violate FCC, or require some extra licensing that t-mobile or samsung don't want to shell money/time approving?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
Wikipedia says they didn't include the FM tuner with our version of the phone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Note_2 . The N7100 version has the tuner. Like the other poster above, I'd love to be wrong but I think that if the phone had an FM tuner it would have been found by now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Postal Psycho:
IMO the major U.S. Carriers told Samsung to remove the fm tuner hardware from their versions because they have no way of monetizing it, so they'd rather have you chewing up your data with a radio app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pogotv:
Yep its always about the $$$. Maybe we can loby congress to mandate all us carriers install the chip.

Claim national security or somthing. It would seem to me a lowsley 50 cent chip could medicate a lot of risk.

My 2cents..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveid:
Do you have a source for this? Or is it speculation? Isn't is possible that the different baseband that allows LTE simply doesn't have the ability to do FM? As that is a MAJOR difference between the 7100 and 7105 varieties. Either way, unless you have hard proof, you might want to refrain from stating an opinion as a fact, might not turn out so well, especially if you are wrong...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajunflavoredbob:
To clear the air here, the FM radio is built into the SoC. Our hardware is identical to the international model in that respect. The FM radio is either grounded out or disconnected on most US models of smartphones. Considering the very minor cost in enabling the SoC for FM tuning (generally <2¢ per unit), the logical conclusion is that the carriers are holding the US FM market ransom for monetization. This opinion is further confirmed based on Sprint Wireless' decision to begin including an FM radio app in the future with their smartphones. The plan from them is to monetize the service by adding features within the app to allow users to purchase songs that they're listening to. The previously linked post to mikereidis' thread is a great one with a good bit of information on the subject.

Granted that the monetization claims are all speculative and slightly bias at present, the evidence to support the claim is growing. For further examples of the US carriers squeezing more money out of US subscribers than anywhere else, one only needs look at the rest of the world's cellular carriers for example.

As for my claim of the FM radio being built into the SoC, but not connected, please refer to the Exynos 4 (4112) documentation. More simply, without going through the trouble of looking it up, just notice that the international model uses the same SoC as our model, and it has FM radio support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveid:
Thank you for providing some key details. I am used to older phones where the fm was separate from the SOC. And, was not aware of the integration. The conclusions are logical, though the evidence is lacking. It would be nice to know if this is similar to the lte support on our model, or if it is physically disabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajunflavoredbob:
LTE is on a separate chip. Exynos 4 does not have support for LTE, so it isn't included in some models, like the international version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GN2Rabbit:
I have talked with samsung about this issue. They said that our phones have the hardware but not the software/firmware to utilize it. Also originally tmobile advertised the fm radio on their website. But according to samsung it's carrier disabled

I don't want to be the party pooper here, but I just want to make sure you guys understand that the problem is hardware related, not software related.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] h3ck:
Going along with this, just because the hardware is present, doesn't mean there is an absolute way of utilizing it. Case and point is the undetermined issues with wireless charging (there is still speculation on whether or not the hardware or software is to blame for the wireless charging mod not working on some models).

If the components are there and grounded or disconnected, no amount of software will change that. Unless there is an official statement from the carrier(s) or Samsung, I wouldn't hold my breathe.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Hi guys.

First up hello. Im a refuge from the Ace section, have a Galaxy SII due for delivery over the next couple of days so Im moving over. On the Ace I flitted between CM7, CM10 unofficial, Lewa and a few others.

Im generally used to rooting via stock recovery and then using CWM to do everthing else, not familiar at all with ODIN as I have never needed to use it. Standard UK SII, unlocked running Gingerbread.

Have read around this section and will continue to do so for a few days, but a few starting pointers would be nice.

Rooting/CWM/Kernels

Whats the easiest way for rooting the SII, preferably from stock recovery

Whats the easiest way for installing CWM?

What the best basic Kernel out there, or Kernel that will do an AIO Root/CWM/Kernel job?

Im reading a lot about this hardbrick lark with ICS, is this purely an issue with stock ICS roms, and its fine to go down the CM10 route?

I can use the search feature, but as Im sure you know thats not always the most productive route.. Although I shall use it in the meantime.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
You can learn a lot just by reading peoples problems, and the answers given.

For rooting, you would normally just flash like a siyahv4+ kernel with Odin.

That gives you root, cwm and safe from brickbug.

Theres several other ways also like exynos or doing stuff via recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
How have i avoided ODIN so long.. hmm, Siyah 4.

Do you know how cumbersome the search feature is here, finally found the download for v4.1.15 (and then realised it was in your signature), now im trying to find the instruction to install via ODIN,. If you happen to know offhand, the exact thread that would be appreciated.

Regarding roms, Im assuming CM10 is the standard, not familiar with any of the devs over on this side of the fence.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Ok, from what I can gather

Download Keis and make sure all drivers for the SII installed

Download Siyah-s2-v4.1.5

Disconnect your phone from your computer

Start ODIN

Click the PDA button, and select Siyah-s2-v4.1.5

Put phone in download mode

Connect the phone to computer

Make sure repartition is not checked

Click the start button

Wait for the phone to reboot

correct???

(sorry, i suffer anxiety, one of the side effects is double checking anything before doing it) ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
If your on ICS, you can download that siyah kernel, but make sure you get the .zip type.

Get the 1st and 3rd file in the ics rooting guide in my sig.

Stick them all on sd card.

Boot into recovery.

Flash the 1st file-which is temp cwm

Flash the 3rd file-which is su/busybox

Then flash the siyah file-which gives you permanent cwm and safe kernel.

Then reboot phone.

Then you are rooted, with cwm and safe kernel.

The easier way is obviously using odin.

Ps.hope you aint got the g model.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
No, its not the G.. :D

It is on gingerbread currently though, not ICS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
GB ffs......lol.

Right you can update to ICS (pain)

or

Set up Odin and flash siyah s2 v2.6.14.tar file

or

Try exynos abuse (may not work on GB).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
I shall go S2 v2 route then. assumedly i can then just flash cm10 iwthout any problems.

Yes GB model, but no, not GT-I9100G :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Youll need to check what the install instructions are for the rom

Eg if you need to be on GB or ICS.

Ive never used it, Ive just read you need cwm though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
If possible I would first update to ICS via Kies or OTA then afterwards flash Siyah v4 via ODIN. Once you have done this you are ready to reboot into cwm and flash away. Remember to wipe data/factory reset in CWM though after flashing Siyah kernel and before flashing new rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Ah, ive been reading on problems with ics and hardbrick, i guess that is prevented by flashing siyah post update.

Thanks guys, sorry for the noob questions, im not a noob, but rooting always makes me nervous (a hangover from the days when flashing the bios on the pc was a dangerous hit and miss affair), i just like to double check.

Once im rooted and got CWM im back in familiar territory.

Any other general tips on making the leap from Ace to SII appreciated. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
Dont you just love it, when the phone arrives and its pre rooted with siyah and cwm :D

My Ray is 4-5 months old, and 1-2 months ago I noticed that glass on the camera is more and more peeling off...I have silicon case since day one, so it is not from scratches...maybe from removing smudges and dust here and there before thaking photo...I use my T-shirt on me (cotton, soft) and dont press hard...

It seems that this peel off and scratches doesnt affect photo quality as I dont see artefacts on photos - but, when whatching lens (glass) it can bee clearly seen as there is damaged somekind of protective film...

Does someone have same problems? Does this influence photo quality? It could bend light in different way...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
How did you remove it?

I saw that people say about Displex - that is scratch removal paste (not for touch screens). I will try it - must go find it to buy. I used it years ago for my phone screen...it was great...It polish edges of big scratches and litle scratches so scratches are not visible any more - even big ones. It polis rough edges so light dont get bend differently and everything is ok. So I belive displex could remove that coating and polish that glass over lens!

Alternative would be to change that glass with plastic or something like that (maybe another phones glass)... But for now, I think that displex would be best thing to try. It is 5-10$ and can last long...
