a bit confused, before i install this, i have a question:

if i take a picture, then open the app, will it be able to automatically tell me the color of the thing in the picture, or will i have to manually search for it?
[Android Apps and Games] ballzak:
Is the background of the color picker supposed to move around? Doesn't feel right.

And, please add a lighten/darken color button or slider in the Laboratory.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BugXXXy:
To all Xperia V rooted users does rooting this phone GREATLY or yet JUST A LITTLE improve the battery life? cuz I am having battery problems... So its worth the root? cuz I really need a way to improve the battery :( thx
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No, not by itself

But it may enable you to do other things that will
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] andrasandhi:
what things u can do on ROOTED phone is u can remove many apps that not u use, in other word 'bloatwares'.

some apps installed as 'system' so u cant remove it. the only way u can access /system is ROOTED phone.

some 'bloatwares' already known as battery-drainer.

if u can remove that 'drainer-app', u may can improve ur battery a bit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
Hi,

I have the following problem, it's kind of long and I can't pinpoint the exact issue so I'm not certain what to do, update, flash, send it back in, ...

I acquired my S2 when it came out in our country and never had issues on gingerbread until wifi started to have very bad reception end of 2012. I was advised to connect to Kies and update the firmware to see if this helped.

Kies then updated me to 4.0.4., and the wifi issues were not solved; Instead, what I got was 'lag' i.e., the screen blocks from time to time, on basically anything, scrolling, gaming, video, etc., when you scroll through the start screens it's sometimes all very 'choppy'. Also, the phone rebooted from time to time.

Looking up what I could about all of this I found the brickbug issue and installed the app, and the phone turned out to have it. I didn't do a vanilla clean install when going from 2.3 to 4.0.4. and so obviously I couldn't do a factory reset now, so I decided to hand it in to the store I bought it, still under guarantee.

I got it back now, 6 days after which to me seemed a little fast, and it stated 'changed the module, updated firmware, problem lies with user's backup'. I turned the phone on again and after inserting all my info again and getting to the apps, I could see the problem was still there.

All I know right now after testing a number of things:

-Live streaming, playing video, angry birds, strolling through anything: It blocks from time to time. No major freeze, just very sloppy scrolling or for video's etc. it just stops for a second.

-Tested and still has the brickbug even though I noted this for the repair, and it's still stuck on 4.0.4.

-As far as I'm able to tell 4.1.2. isn't available for my country yet (Belgium) and anyway my CSC for some reason says 'Luxemburg' :) Keeping in mind I still have warranty, I'd prefer not to tinker around with Odin as I'm not familiar with it.

-RAM says 827MB out of which, when turning on the phone and just going into task manager, more than 500MB is already in use, which in my eyes might account for sloppy movement from time to time, but I have no idea if this might get better with 4.1.2. or if it might be linked to the memory and the bug.

What's the best bet for this, wait for 4.1.2. to appear for my country and update through KIES, and see if it gets better? That's what the technicians where the phone got sent from the store told me; If it's a bug in the chip or motherboard issues, it seems my country doesn't even have a samsung center so they'd need to push it up to level 3 technical issues and send it to another country, and if I can't prove the issue is hardware-related, I just get it back. The 'module' they changed they said was just an USB connection that was a little loose. After that they ran tests on it for 2 days but didn't find any issues (again, they don't test speed or chip/motherboard issues it seems)

Any help welcome
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
I'm guessing your device is not carrier branded (flash nordic LSD or the Netherlands FW).

On the other hand RAM usage and lagginess may result of carrier bloatware (so it is carrier branded....).

Which one is it, there are a couple of solutions for you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
Hiya,

No, I bought the phone just in the box in a shop, no contract, carrier, etc., I had multiple sim cards of different networks in side of it over the small 2 years I have it. I only had it back for 24 hours and basically didn't do anything with it except install 3 apps to test the things I mentioned, so I can't see bloatware being the issue.

Before updating to 4.1.2. and especially flashing with Odin (as said, I probably won't do until warranty is void in a small bit), is there a possibility the memory can be damaged due to the bug/chip/4.0.4., or is this kind of issue always related to firmware etc.?

Here's the info, if needed:

Model: GT-I9100

Android version: 4.0.4.

Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6

Kernel version:

3.0.15-157945

AFAIK, if ur phone were affected and/or bricked by the brickbug before updating, it couldnt possibly be updated to 4.1.2. :screwy:

Sent from my SGS II
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
Well, obviously all I know is that the scanning app detects it, wouldn't know what it's done for the rest, didn't brick yet in any case. so if you try to update and it doesn't work for this reason, any particular error message you're supposed to get in KIES?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Sorry mate.. no idea about that.. :confused:

Sent from my SGS II
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
brick bug is software related.

Flash another ROM, JB is the obvious choice here.

Report back if lagginess persists.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
I just installed the latest Kies and connected it, but seems there is no 4.1.2. available yet with Kies. As I'm unfamiliar with any other form of upgrading, I'm guessing I'll have to sit it out, and who knows with my CSC in Luxemburg when that will become available, that country hardly has people in it lol.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bihslk:
Why wait? Just download Odin and flash JB.

Its easy.

It even has Belgium lang if im not wrong.

Its just normal flash no rooting etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
There is no Belgian language, you're mostly either French or Dutch or, for a small minority, German :)

If it's not available yet, I'm assuming whichever JB I'd get and install through Odin will be rather visible I didn't install it 'officially', so if I would have any issue that would stay like the permanent lag under 4.1.2., I can't really hand in the phone again for repair or they'd notice (obviously, since with all repairs, they update the firmware themselves and would know it's not available).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christiaan91:
There is a Netherlands (Belgium) language possible.

For the warrenty thing: afaik there is a way to get from custom to stock without them (people of samsung) noticing (is this a right word?) it. Only when your cpu is dead you don't have the option to go back to stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
Well the language is not really an issue for me, as I put my gear in English. So far from what I found the only thing I could possibly do is install Odin and flash with a 'regular' 4.1.2. file, AFAIK and since it's not available yet, if I would keep my problems or even find any new ones, I'd either need to downgrade again or wait when it's finally released officially, Lord knows when that will be :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bihslk:
Flash will take 5 min to do. Same as downgrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
Yah, probably goes faster through Odin, the new firmware takes a Gig of space so Kies probably takes ages.

But as said I'm not familiar with Odin + if it doesn't solve the issue I'd need to bump it back to 4.0.4. and hand it in; If 4.1.2. becomes available officially and the issue remains I can hand it in with that and can write down the issue was both under 4.0.4. and 4.1.2. especially after I wipe everything under 4.1.2. and it still doesn't get better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Bart, want us to walk you thru it?

The sooner you discover your device is faulty the better.

Notice that the guys at tge shop did everything we are about to tell you here. That's why your csc doesn't add up.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
Well both Luxemburg and Belgium are small countries so I'm assuming it's entirely possible one phone gets in a shop in the other, it's probably the same region, besides never had issues under gingerbread.

As for guiding me through it, I've been looking around for a good guide for a simple install but most of what you find are with remarks like 'Be careful to check and uncheck the right boxes or you might brick your device!' in Odin, then never an explanation about which boxes :)

I downloaded Odin (the new one, 3.4 or so?) and got it on a laptop, so all I'd need is basically getting the rom somewhere and being certain what to push and what not to :)

I'm a bit sceptic about a flash on the notebook too tho, it's not a very performant machine, but the rest I got are either on linux or in repair right now. I could put Odin on a desktop without network that's more reliable but it's still on XP so I'd probably need to get the 9100 drivers too then for it to recognize the phone correctly.

Anyway, all help is appreciated, I'll name my firstborn after your kittens in return! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bihslk:
Install Odin 3.07

Download RoM from SamFirmware or some other place

Place phone in download mode. Vol down+power+homebutton

When got in download mode press vol up

Now connect phone and start odin

Now you should se yellow colour in top in one of boxes and com port.

Now unzip rom

Put it in PDA

Now press start and wait.

When done you will see text PASS and green box.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
lol, hate cats, don't worry. Name him/her Odin.

It's always better to flash via laptop, bo power off risk ;)

You've got 2 choices here:

Flash via Odin: you'll need a pc and latest kies, plus s2's usb cable.

Once in odin you'll have to select 3 files from an extracted folder, check the ticked boxes and double check where did you place the files (it's easier than it looks).

Flash via Mobile Odin: Really easy flashing tool, no pc needed, all flashibg is done with your phone and the device itself does almost all the work.

It hardly goes south when flashing but when it does the life safe is regular Odin. This means that's it's the safest way to perform any first flash.

There are 2 versions, free and paid.

Free: manually download the kernel (easy to find).

Paid (root needed): Get's the kernel on it own, enables you to select EverRoot (roots any stock ROM while it flashes it allowing you to be rooted at all times) and inject SuperUser app as well as M.O app. Costs 5 bucks (around 3 euro).

Which way you wanna go?

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart D:
Ah, didn't know there was a mobile odin, didn't find info on that on any site I went to. Might be easier to just download that and any necessary files through wifi on the phone itself it it's simpler. I wouldn't mind paying extra, but I have no knowledge of root so I don't need it. I could always amuse myself with it when the phone is completely out of warranty anyway.

No root is needed for the regular mobile version? Odd, that's what I find on google. I'm assuming it doesn't show up in any of the 'regular' download options either on the s2 :)

Thought I'd start a thread for orders from p4u! Has anyone heard anything?
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Apparently sites such as Amazon etc are starting to confirm that HTC has In fact delayed the release of the phone. Still not 100% but it's looking certain that it probably won't be in our hands this week :'( I was planning on going in store and picking it up this Friday by upgrading my contract, seems like I won't be able to do that if the dates are true!
[One (M7) General] mwilky:
Ordered last Friday and still not even received my confirmation email:(
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
I asked yesterday (using the "Live Chat" facility on their website) if my order was still due for delivery on the 15th and the guy said it was. When I checked earlier today, they were still advertising the phone as "order today for delivery on 15/03". So, grounds for optimism, I think.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I have been bombarding them every day as sad as it may sound but the sooner I get rid of this BB the better!

the same answer as been given to me time and time again and that is if there is a delay, a text and email will be sent out and also the website will be updated to reflect that.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:

[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Just posted on this on another thread.

Not sure if this helps or is relevant but i called up phones4u today to confirm the cancellation of my order which was done over the weekend and the lady said "are you phoning up to cancel because there is no stock?" to which I just said no just wished to cancel and wanted to know if it had all gone through.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
There is no point asking them coz they don't have exact answer about delivery or delayed because this things are out of their working or knowledge area they can inform you only those things which they have written on their computer screen, they will never answer about delay or delivery, I asked many times through different sources like Email, Over the phone, in-store but they don't know anything about it but one thing is sure that they will get stock on 13 or 14th then they start deliver for 15th as they promised, delayed only caused by delivery companies like Royalmail or whatever they choose to deliver due to high numbers of destination but don't expect delay more than 1-2 days

I advise people don't waste time looking or asking about it as HTC clearly mention on their official website that There is no problem or delay for UK region if any delay or short supply they will publish or inform through their website and P4U also inform buyers through email if any delay in processing

hope this will helpful anyone who's worried about their orders

I am currently waiting on my preorder with P4U on an upgrade for a HTC One, I originally ordered it in black although to be honest as the time has come closer I have started to prefer the silver one.. In all honesty I was going to ask for a silver one when they called prior to dispatch, but it's become evident that call probably won't be until next month now! So I took the iniative, called P4U and they happily swapped my pre-order to a silver handset, which apparently will be due for dispatch 'Around' the expected date of the 15th, could be earlier or could be later which is understandable.
