Which kernel are you using? With stock boot.img it eats your battery even on idle and deepsleep so flashing a different kernel also helps with your battery issues. Flash OXP kernel and it makes a difference with your battery life.

I'm running elegencia 4.5.0 here and i can last for 1 day with wifi and data on with frequent use.

Ps- i don't play games.

Well it does seem that you need to run the battery down a few times before it will start working, and apparently, you must do this with every Rom update, from this Rom anyways.

Hello,

Yesterday I was playing Temple Run 2 but then it got stuck. Then I was holding the power button so it could shut off and boot up again. Unfortunately it shut off but now it doesn't boot up anymore. I was running NeatROM 4.2.

I hope anyone can help me. I can't get in download neither recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Sounds like a hardware failure then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess786:
Which means a JIG won't help aswell? How can I know what part needs to be repaired?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
You can try a jig to get you into download mode so you an reflash your phone.

Other then that there is no way to tell what part failed unless you use a JTAG to find out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess786:
Well I've tried a homemade JIG which didn't work. Guess I have to go get another phone and say goodbye to the lovely S2 community..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Buy another S II

(already ruled out warranty claim? jtag?)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess786:
The problem is I love the Sense UI which is missing on the S2. On the other hand the S2 is a great, great phone.

Yeah, I already ruled out the warranty claim. As for jtag, I have no clue how to work with that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
There are many JTAG repair services available for the Galaxy S2, but the best known is here: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/

They are based in America which can be a problem if sending from Europe, but they generally get the job done. If it means spending $50 dollars + shipping instead of whatever on a new phone, it could be worth it?

I suppose you could email them and tell them your story and ask if they reckon they could fix it?

Just a thought.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess786:
Unfortunately I'm not 18 yet which means my parents decide a lot of my shipping decisions. And since I already know they won't let me ship my phone to America JTAG won't be an option..

I'm just gonna try to get as much money as possible in the couple of weeks and hopefully I can buy myself another good phone with S2-like specs, or even the S2 itself.

But thanks for the advice anyway. Glad this community is so helpful. I didn't need any help in this one year I had my S2 but since I need help now, I get it aswell. Thanks guys, appreciate it! :o

Hi Guys

I'm about to buy an SII and I like this versions (T989 and i777) but can't seem to choose which one to buy. Can you recommend me one from your perspective??

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
TBH, both phones are pretty good. The main different between the two is that the T989 has a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S3 with Adreno 220 GPU, and the i777 has a dual-core Exynos C210 with a Mali-400MP GPU.

This comparison will give you more details: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4130&idPhone2=4129
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Here are my thoughts about the differences between the T989 and I777 which are the:

- screen size (4.5" @ 206 ppi vs 4.3" @217 ppi)

The higher pixel density of the I777 is better, but in my opinion for day to day use the T989's 4.5" screen is the perfect size in hand and will help you get comfortable using a larger screen if you upgrade to another phone.

- CPU (Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion vs Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9)

It's all preference between Snapdragon and Exynos, they both perform about the same even if the T989 is clocked a bit higher.

- GPU (Adreno 220 vs Mali-400MP)

According to many comparisons such as the one in this thread between the two, the Adreno 220 is said to be faster overall. Adreno 220 is the same GPU used with several variants of the first Note as a reference.

- Battery Size (1850 mAh vs 1650 mAh)

The T989 has the advantage of a larger battery than the I777's by a good 200mAh. Even if the T989 has a slightly bigger screen, it has little impact with the battery life in comparison to the 4.3" alternative.

-Developer Support

Both phones have excellent developer support, however, if you look at the specific threads for each phone, the I777 has the advantage of having the new Android 4.2.1 ROMs readily available (although most are still betas or RCs).

You will be satisfied with either phone you choose, but if you want my vote, I would say to go for the T989 as I've had plenty of good experience with using mine so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cristianpark:
Thank you both for your answers

I viewed the difference on specs before but with FineTalent explanation I can make my mind now. I will buy the T-Mobile variant.

Thank you so much

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cristianpark:
Hi guys, I have now a SGSII T989 (two months now), it's a great phone and even when it doesn't have many ROM's as other variations, it has enough for you to test; I'm pretty satisfied with my phone. Nevertheless, I was seing some 'blood pattern' in the screen sometimes and can't find the way to reproduce it (sometimes I saw it when I have transparent notification bar, sometimes when seing some videos, in photos I can't see the patterns). I searched for that behaviour and end up in this thread [1], the easiest way to reproduce the issue is playing a dark video (I test it with Supernatural and The Walking Dead episodes)

Other issue I have was that GTA Vice City wasn't playable when you take a car, it goes incredible slowly (I found a thread that says that's a bug on our T989)

As far as I know, both issues are related to the combination of Processor-GPU-Chipset on our T989 and they doesn't happen on other variations like i777

I post this just to let you guys know about my experience if you're planning to buy a T989. Right now I'm thinking about sell my great T989 and go for an i777 or maybe change brand and go for a HTC Rezound or a Motorola Razr (but I don't like the non removable battery on this)

Instead of a poor mirror system, i'd like to put a webcam in the backseat of my truck to watch my kid in the carseat, using my GSIII as a video display. Does any software exist to make this possible?

I could use my old iPhone 3GS, a usb webcam, a bluetooth webcam (if it exists) or a wifi webcam if i can set up my phone as a LAN.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gecko2424:
The iphone was replaced by the GS3 and doesn't have an account. The 3GS also doesn't have a front camera, so i think skype is unavailable for that model. (processor speed too...)

thanks though
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Skype doesn't need a front camera (used it on my captivate without any problem and had a 1Ghz processor).

And you can make 2 accounts on skype without any problem, just use 2 different email.

Anyway, worth giving it a shot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gecko2424:

Oh I see, my bad.

I dunno if there's a app that allows video streaming through BT or Wifi but could be something to look into.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MobileNick:
I just bought an OTG cable that lets you plug in USB devices. Works great for keyboard & mouse - even wireless! But not sure if it will work with webcam. I think I have one lying around - I can test when home. Not sure if it will need drivers. I have seen people use it with other USB devices like flash drives but those might be simple (in terms of drivers) compared with a webcam.

EDIT: I tried it out but didn't work. The keyboard & mouse worked right away, so it's possible there are drivers for that already installed on the ROM. Possibly if you could get a driver to work, then the webcam might work through this cable but not sure.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
No.

Do not try that unless you are interested in a completely bricked phone.

There would be no way to recover if you do so.

It's the bootloader (that's what xdau taught me.) And it's not cross compatible at all.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] synthetikv:
Hello all, I'd like to apologize in advance if this is covered somewhere but I searched and may just be missing it.

So here's the issue. Bought galaxy tab 8.9 wifi around when it was released. Used it for a few months. Played with a few roms and kernels, got a ****ty rom combination and just lost interest in the roms (mostly because work forced me into an iphone so I had to give up my gnex).

Fast forward a year I pick up my tablet again.

Played around with it for a day and couldn't get things restored properly.

I believe it was on a stock rom but someone elses kernel when I tried all this. But OTA update wouldn't work.

So I installed CWR through odin. Installation went fine.

Then rooted the phone through CWR, again everything working properly.

Tried to flash to most current version of AOSP and tablet and it won't boot. Screen stay's black after 20 minutes.

I can get into the tablet via Odin to repair it I'm just not sure what files I need.

So what I was looking for was to bring the tablet back to stock, if possible. To start from scratch.

I have the file for stock recovery, but not a stock kernel or stock rom. I have not been able to find these for my model of device. GT-P7310MA

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Again I apologize if this is covered somewhere else I just haven't been able to find it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Go to sammobile.com for the stock Rom. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin, PDA. Just have auto-reboot and f.reset checked. You'll be good to go. Use Odin 1.85

Hello.

I am looking for a Deep Freeze alternative for android.

I want to use the application on a tablet I am going to buy.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
It would not be easy to implement the same thing as Deep Freeze on an enterprise-level scale, especially if there are different devices from different manufacturers, unlike with PCs. But if yours is the only device, just make a nandroid backup, then you can restore the backup whenever you like (every boot, every day, etc.). Of course, this requires your tablet to be rooted, and (probably) a custom recovery installed.
[General Questions and Answers] cacofonix3:
And how much time do i need for this every time i reboot?

Now I am using VMware with deepfreeze on the 2nd OS.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If you mean the nandroid restore process, it takes a few minutes. It depends on the size of the backup image, and the speed of your device. Unlike desktop PCs, however, usually people don't actually reboot their phones daily, or even weekly. If you want to update some apps, or make any other changes, you can then just do a nandroid backup, which again only takes a few minutes.

Regarding VMware, are you using it on Android, or PC?
[General Questions and Answers] cacofonix3:
I use VMWare on PC. Inside the VMWare I use Deep Freeze. Then I restart the virtual OS. I do this because some apps leave some tracks on my system that i dont know what these are.
[General Questions and Answers] Mvasquez:
