Have you tried using CheckFusDownloader to download your rom then rename to update.zip and use recovery to do an update?

that may work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammar1514:
you cant restore backups from 3e ...it not meant to to do that so a backup wont help

The same problem - galaxy s2 not reading sim cards

hi there, i seem to have exactly the same problem: my galaxy s 2 I9100 does not read SIM cards anymore. today i went to the t-mobile store and they told me that i have to buy a new phone.

it is pretty cool that you were able to fix your problem! unfortunately i am definitely a noob and i dont understand the crucial step you took to make your phone work again and which are the steps i dont need to do.

would be so happy if you could explain to me what i have to do!

additional information:

* we tried other SIM cards and my phone couldnt read them.

* the error appeared just after i had sent some text messages. the phone wasnt charging but i had battery issues in the past (4-5 months ago, overheating and wrong battery infos displayed)

* also 4-5 months ago the usb connectivity stopped working but now it works sometimes. right now i have pc and galaxy connected.

easy hardware fix for the "insert sim card" problem

I just succeeded with a hardware fix for the "insert sim card" message when there is a sim card in the Galaxy s2 i9100

I pressed down on the area around the sim card slot - trying to reseat the pin connectors below.

I got the hint from this link (which I can"t post - Google "Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Insert Sim Card Solution")

The card has now been recognized 3 times

Unfortunately, I'm still not being registered'connected on/to the network - even after the imei was reset and Gotril adjusted my software.modem interface.

oh well.

Hello. Me, when my phone is running with gingerbread rom (2.3.4; 2.3.5; 2.3.6) any functions of the phone goes. But when I install a Rom (stock or custom) ice scream sandwich, I have the same problem does not recognize the sim card (no service) and not of IMEI displayed. Yet all files in the folder EFS are present. By cons I have to reboot the phone 3-4 times to her to read the sim card. Romany (formal or custom) Jelly Bean, not to display IMEI (null / null). And custom rom kitkat, no IMEI displayed but recognizes the sim at first starting and after nothing, despite the restart. At the moment I turn 4.0.3 ICS and become heavy to restart at any time.

Hi everyone,

Thing is, I've got no ROM on my SD card anymore and no ROM is installed either.

Now I want to use ADB Sideload to push a ROM into my SD card in recovery.

Unfortunately it seems like USB Debugging isn't turned on, it can't find my device.

So how do I turn it on in recovery?

Doesnt the recovery has an option to mount the sdcard as an usb mass storage like the other recovery's ?

So all the benchmark charts I see people posting up have numbers that blow Mine away. I've briefly read about them but don't really understand what makes one better than the other. So can anyone, someone give me the trade secrets on how to improve this??? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Are you on AOSP? It looks like it from your status bar.

Basically Samsung "cheats" benchmarks on touchwiz ROMs. So on a TW ROM I'll score around 6k but on AOSP I'll get around 4-5k depending on overclock and whatnot.

Actual performance wise AOSP seems faster.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingersMcGee7:
Yea I'm on AOSP. So are my numbers decent? And are there any ways to improve?. Phone doesn't seem slow but I feel it can be a bit faster. How can I achieve that? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Quadrant doesn't mean anything. Performance should be based on how the phone reacts to daily use and not an app.

If you want the score to increase, overclock the kernel. Know that this is bad on the battery and will cause premature failure of you stress the processor too much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TXI Kaze:
Seriously, benchmarks mean nothing. I had a DNA and the benchmarks were insane but the phone didn't feel as "fast" as the numbers were saying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingersMcGee7:
So As long as there aren't any crippling bugs and what I use daily is operable I shouldn't worry about benchmarks? I'll take that and roll with it. And I appreciate the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TXI Kaze:
Exactly. I get lower benchmarks on AOSP as opposed to TW but I get better performance. Logic? None.

All input has been much appreciated. Thank you kind sirs :thumbup:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] magickone:
Considering P880's mediocre analog audio output, I'm wondering would it be possible to stream high-quality apt-X or AAC encoded music over A2DP to a stereo bluetooth headphones/headset? Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X have apt-X support but it seems that P880 doesn't.

I'm not particularly familiar with Android, but I'm a Linux power user (admin). I've seen this piece of code and it seems to me that Android uses Linux 'BlueZ' bluetooth stack.

./android/external/bluetooth/bluez/audio/a2dp.h:
#define A2DP_CODEC_SBC 0x00
#define A2DP_CODEC_MPEG12 0x01
#define A2DP_CODEC_MPEG24 0x02
#define A2DP_CODEC_ATRAC 0x03

Considering that audio codecs for A2DP bluetooth profile on Android are implemented in software, we could (easily?) add support for AAC, MP3 or any other codec supported by targeting receiver, besides SBC which is mandatory. The only problem with apt-X is IP and licensing issues so free distribution of such hack would be out of question, but I still wonder... If some end user is willing to pay for the license, is there any way to add support for apt-X by installing some software package on this phone? Licesing issues aside (just for educational purposes), would it be possible to copy "Vendor-Specific A2DP codec" from lets say Samsung Galaxy SIII and paste it into another vendor's Android smartphone (BlueZ stack)?

Harman Kardon has a BT headphones which support AAC streaming through A2DP, so at least there's a chance for OSS improvement over SBC.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] OS_Hacking:
Welcome to our forum , I hope you will find what you need .

Personally ... I didn't understand any thing :D:D . OSS ,A2DP,SBC,AAC (it's like a DNA code :D )

But generally the problem with kernel or modules (/system/lib/modules/*.ko) .

You can call modules as an "extra" things complied by developers . For example Bluetooth mouse or keyboard . As I understand it's a headphone ??

Good to see a good linux user ,, maybe you can made kernels (it's mostly based on linux) .

By Pressing "THANKS" You Will Help Me ;) .
[LG Optimus 4X HD] magickone:
Thank you for your reply and warm welcome. :)

OSS - Open Source Software :)

A2DP - Advanced Audio Distribution Profile is a Bluetooth standard which defines how high quality audio is streamed wirelessly

SBC - Subband Coding is a default audio codec in A2DP (and it's not very good one but it's free for Bluetooth applications)

AAC - Advanced Audio Coding is an audio codec which could be considered successor to MP3 (good for higher bitrates - not so much for low bitrates)

apt-X is a proprietary audio codec which achieves good compression rates with low computational overhead and short coding latency without sacrificing subjective audio quality (in short awesome :))

A2DP uses SBC by default (and sounds terrible) but it can also use AAC (much better) and any other "vendor-specific codec" such as apt-X (preferably) or even Opus (very good open source audio codec for low bitrate voice and audio applications).

Kernel modules are loadable parts of kernel which are in essence drivers for hardware or complex subsystems.

I don't need driver for my Bluetooth controller, I just need software (apt-X) codec so my P880 can stream better quality audio. :)

I hope so. :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] OS_Hacking:
Thanks for those informations ,, relly useful .

About modules I thought you meant a new hardware (special headphone or something like that) .

If it's a software , it can be ported (but I don't know how :D) .

There is beats audio and xLoud MODs in xda and it should work on any android .
