Hola

Because it is a new year and with the new Galaxy S4 potentially coming out in about 4 months I would strongly recommend that you don't sign up for a new 3 year contract! Buy a good used one... Kijiji or Craigslist.

Ok, so I have soft bricked my phone. I did a system wipe through the recovery tools but it still wont boot up. It just powers on then goes to a black screen. I can go into download mode and I can boot into recovery mode. Please help

Mount your sdcard and flash a rom to your phone. This isnt really a brick, it just sounds like you wiped your OS

Yea system wipe just deletes your system aka Rom.

I own a 7 in tab 2 gt-p3110

According to samsungs website it supports up to 32 gb

Stock jellybean worked quite well but the battery life seemed poor.

I installed cm 10.1 and feel it improved

It runs fairly quick no gripes in speed but I have not gamed on it.

I own a kindle fire hd and the screen and battery life on it is superior

But it has a locked boot loader and no roms to flash and may never...

Kfhd has hdmi out standard micro usb better screen better batt life, no gps, no usb otg only one camera front facing, no sd card slot

Tab2 has no hdmi out, proprietary usb connection, less batt life, gps, usb otg, worse screen, two cameras, sd card slot.

All in all I think the kindle is the win, but tab2 device is more open with more features.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caldair:

I have a tether option on my Rezound CM10.

It makes a hotspot, 192.168.43.1

I connect on my laptop, 192.168.43.104

I create SOCKS5 proxy:

# ssh localhost -NvD 192.168.43.104:1111

I confirm socks5 proxy works:

# curl --socks5 192.168.43.104:1111 google.com

And it works..

Now, on my Rezound, I can ping 192.168.43.104, I can SSH into it for a terminal connection, but no matter what I cannot make my phone use the SOCKS5 proxy on my apps [Facebook, Browser, etc].

I have tried to follow this: http://dtbaker.com.au/random-bits/r...hrough-transparent-socks5-proxy-in-linux.html

but it didn't seem to work for me, probably because it was for a Desktop linux, not android..

I've tried tonss of proxy apps, none of them work. Just nothing loads at all. 'connection error'

If anyone knows how I can do this, I'd be much obliged!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
By the way. Your phone is in a boot loop. Which is not bad at all so don't panic :)

If phone was Odin back to stock unroot follow this.

Boot into recovery.

(If stock recovery, wipe data and then

Wipe cache)

Reboot phone. Let sit for a good minute and should boot up :)

If phone was Odin back to stock rooted.

Reboot recovery.

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache.

And you might as well fix permissions just to be safe ;)

Hit that thanks if I managed to help.

If no success. Feel free to PM me :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
Probably an overactive media scanner (android media process). I have the same problem since updating to the stock official 4.1.2 XXLS8.

I'm not sure what the solution is. You can disable the android media process (application manager -> media storage -> select and disable). However, if you do so then not only do you lose access to media files in the standard music and video players, but you also lose all your sound files for ringtones, notifications, email and SMS alerts etc. So as solutions go that one's a bit rubbish...

Rescan Media Root is also ineffective. I don't know why, possibly something to do with Jellybean that prevents it from working.

I've seen many posts in different forums about this, it seems to be a common issue with the 4.1.2 JB releases. Some say it is partly fixed in JB 4.2 but that isn't much use to us right now.

You could try reformatting your memory card as some say that corrupted files cause the problem. However, others say this 'fix' is unsuccessful and the excessive scanning continues regardless.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Try this workaround:

Copy you DCIM folder to your External SD Card. Empty Internal SD card's DCIM folder (files, not the folders, just leave it empty).

Set your external SD Card's DCIM folder to default for pics & video.

Reboot.

Sadly no change for me. :(

Emptied DCIM on internal SD, camera was already set to external SD for storage. Rebooted, and Android Media Process is now busy hammering my CPU again.

This is so frustrating. I lose 50% battery in ten hours, and I'm now scared to actually use the device at all when I'm out and about for fear of losing power altogether. Google have known about it since October - see this issue thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeremiya:
I had similar issues after I've installed the same rom on my phone. After a few awful days of fiddling with it and endless cycles of recharging, I've decided to do a clean reinstall. After I did a clean install last night, everything seemed better. The battery wasn't overheating, wasn't even draining that fast. During the night (5 hours of sleep I got, actually), BetterBatteryStats had shown me that I had only ~5 minutes of awake state vs the 5hrs of deep sleep.

But! Today after work, my battery started going crazy again. Left work with ~35% and I've discharged it completely after some 30-40 minutes of Ingress play (gps + 3g + screen on). Something's awfully wrong with this version, no fix worked for me (except the mediascanner issue which resolved itself after I did a clean install).

Any and every advice is more than welcome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Try freezing gallery as soon as it boots, check with betterbattery stats if media scanner stops when you do.

If it stops it within 50 seconds or so make sure you have no files at all in internal DCIM, only the -empty- cache folder inside.

Hi guys,

I have the same issue: overheating and battery drain after official JB update.

Just to note here that I don't have an external SD card (only the built in 12GB storage) , although there's an empty folder called "external_sd" located in /sdcard/external_sd. Excuse me for my ignorance, but do I need to have a physical external SD card for the fix to work, or is that just some sort of partition thing?

I cold not charge my phone without turning it off, for it will drain and overheat even more. Even when off, it would take at least 2hrs to fill up. Now? 1 hr when on, 45 mins when off.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
I've got to say that Samsung stuffed up the jellybean update. Rooting your phone may solve some problems (install greenify to hibernate apps). Uninstall any bloatware (such as 'power saving apps' that claim to save battery' (of course with exclusions with a minor few). Remove autosync enabled apps such as facebook, dropbox and etc. Installing a custom stock-based rom (such as neatrom) may also solve issues (can remove bloatware and unnecessary apps). Mediaserver problems exist as a software issue so installing a different rom will(or should I say 'should') remove it. Thanks samsung for ruining our phones!

Thank you soo much for ur reply atm I am on the neat rom 4.0 this is because I have read that its good rom how ever it still heats up when playing games like fifa 15 ultimate team. This r does come preloaded with drop box so I think ill try deleting it please an other methods? My phone is on three network btw
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Deleting Dropbox will not solve heat issues, it will only fix some battery drain. Fifa 15 ultimate team will ramp up your phones cpu frequency so you would expect some heating to occur. Did this happen before you installed neat rom? I see you are running an older neatrom, update for the best user experience. Jelly bean will sound scary for most s2 users, but neat rom jelly bean (assume you chose your own apps using neatrom lite) would have a positive effect on battery life. You can also try to change kernels such as using apolo kenel. AFAIK, older neatrom versions have dorimanx kernel which is better for performance which would lead to heat, apolo is more simplistic and battery friendly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felito995:
