[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archmisha:
Thanks for the reply,

Does it matter which stock rom? i mean there are many countries and different versions in sammobile.

Also I already tried some kernels, is there a a way to wipe them away?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Yes, it matters.

I9100 & I9100G don't share the same hardware.

Almost everything meant for I9100 won't work on a I9100G neither the other way around.

Flash this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archmisha:
OK! finally flashed this one: I9100GDZKL3_I9100GDZKL3_I9100GOLCKL3_HOME.tar.md5 and managed to boot :)

Now it is 2.3.6 how can i upgrade it to android 4? I am afraid i will flash anything else it wont boot again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
I'm using the Spring Galaxy Note 2 with the latest (mid-Feb. 2013) update. Under contacts, there is a way to set both custom ringtone and custom messaging (SMS) tones, along with custom vibration patterns, for each contact.

The custom ringtones for phone calls work fine, but the custom SMS ringtones and vibration patterns don't work. Since the functionality appears to be there, I'd rather not switch to another app, but I can't get this working. Has anyone else gotten it working - am I missing something in the setup - or is this function known not to be working properly?

Again, this is for SMS, not phone calls. The individual phone ringtones work OK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] w7excursion:
As far as I know that's never been possible with the stock app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
You do realize that - per my OP - the option is actually now available in the stock app, right? The options are there (I've only just noticed them since the most recent update) but I think like some other Samsung functions they don't actually work.

AW: [Q] unstable nexus battery after jelly bean 4.2.2

If you opened the case carefully they won't realize that it was opened, as long as you don't tell them you opened it.

Flash it back to 100% stock (latest firmware available [4.2.2]) and lock your bootloader.

Like I said, if you opened the back carefully they won't know that you opened it.

About buying a new battery, I don't know since Ive never done such stuff :D

Sounds like a loose battery connector to me. Possibly a bad battery though.

Coincidences happen all the time. Doubtful it has anything to do with software.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander M:
Hello,

Ever since the official update to JB 4.1.2(XWLSD) I cannot change my lockscreen properly anymore.

I always get some sort of mandatory cropping which doesn't allow me to choose a proper selection in portrait.

After searching a lot I found suggestions like Wizardrii and Quickpic, but they revert back to the stock gallery app for mandatory cropping as well.

Even tried to edit a pic on my PC to be the exact dimensions for a lockscreen image, again I'm forced to crop.

Does someone have a solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Must crop.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
That mandatory cropping is intended to make the lockscreen/homescreen wallpaper look right in portrait and landscape modes (observe the two boxes). :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander M:
Both on Touchwiz and Apex I get these results.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
Unfortunately, that's the way it works on JB...

If you don't mind a little hassle tweaking the picture, there is a solution. Remember one key thing: the bounding box (the one you resize by dragging the handles) is always square. Because of that, for cropping you are restricted by the smaller dimension of your picture. So, open your picture in your favourite image editor (I use Paint.NET), and do two things:

1. Make it square (whichever way you prefer -- you can crop the original image to bring it to smaller dimension, or expand the canvas up to the larger side).

2. Add about 100 pixels on all four sides (i.e. 200 pix total horizontally and vertically) to compensate for the gap between the bounding box and the rectangular boxes.

Save your picture, and copy to the phone. Now you can adjust the cropping region the way you want. See attached screenshots. :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bree28:
Hi all,

I've bricked my unrooted XT912 (Verizon) and am unsure if the problem is software or hardware related. The jellybean OTA pushed to my phone but I have yet to install it. I've been reading this board and searching via google for answers with no luck.

A couple weeks ago my phone went into a boot loop (froze at the "Droid" screen during boot). I was able to do a flash recovery with RSD Lite which corrected the problem. However, the problem kept re-occurring. For a while I was able to recover via flash recovery. However, today the phone went into another boot loop (again froze at the "Droid" screen) and I have been unable to fix the issue. I have used both the Matt Groff RAZR Utility and RSD Lite with no success. Both tools successfully flash, however, upon restart, I'm again stuck on the "Droid" screen. Any thoughts?

I'm due for a subsidized phone in a few weeks and would prefer to hold off on buying a full priced new phone unless absolutely necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TeddyOFLove:
I think http://www.droidrzr.com is the right place for you, becouse most XT912 users are there. And i think you can use matts new utility for unbricking yours. There are also Fastboot files out already for XT912 on http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ so you can also flash them using RSD lite.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bree28:
Thanks for the reply! Am I right to understand that I should flash the Jellybean XT912 files and/or use Matt's new utility even though I never installed the OTA update? The update did push to my phone and I hadn't installed prior to the boot loop.

I'll try posting on droidrzr as well per your suggestion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TeddyOFLove:
Ohh i missunderstood you... If you are still On ICS it is same. Matt has made several utilities there is one for ICS and one for JB. But i still think that http://www.droidrzr.comis the right place for you to get involved into, just from what i have seen there are a lot of x912 users in that forum, maybe more active aswell.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mdavidm:
Donovan:

The latest, unless I missed something, is 6.24.00, and is available as part of the TMo 4.00.10 ROM update at

http://www.romanweb.com/yorch/official-tmo2003.rar which includes the 6.24 radio and 4.00.10. To install, REMOVE YOUR XDA FROM THE CRADLE. Unzip the file, and then cancel out. It creates a directory called RUU under Program Files. Place your xda back on the cradle and copy the two files entitled monitor_ul_bs and the two files entitled RSUpgrade from the RUU\English directory to the Windows directory on your xda. Then execute the RSUpgrade executable file on the xda. This will install the 6.24 radio. Once complete, a hard reset might be required, but normally that is not necessary.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jistropy:
As I posted previously about flashing issues and errors which came up with my device I've learned that my partitions were corrupted and nearly all were erased. With some help from developer Mev and other members I was able to get my device working with ADB shell yet the commands seemed to be far out of my lead.

I have an YP-G70 USA (8 Gigs) device.

From what I learned this is the partition to the device, yet the start/ending blocks aren't listed. Would that be a problem?

Next thing is, whenever I tried using

and later on creating a prime partition within the settings that I try to use the "e" to extend (says nothing about "l" for logical) which I run out of sectors to create them with. And sadly the only ones that ever come up is mmcblk0p4 or mmcblk0p3.

Just looking for help to get my player back up and running .. it's all I have and use at work since I don't have a phone and really have been trying to get this to work but its difficult so im sorry for bothering.. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Yes, you were able to flash but your device is still useless because partition 16 and 17 are wrongly built.

may be you entered the right numbers but resulting in wrong recording , check your print (p) attached.

It is perfect until partition 16 beginning..

.Now just delete and rewrite 16 and 17th. (end n°17 by +k instruction will fill the gap and give you the right number or enter 242432 blocks as follow .

Vdev/block/mmcblk0p17 313401 242432 ........... result dotted should give some 5252096 kb.

Then write and print again in order to check your good work and at this point your next flashing will be good! (may be a wipe cache to be sure and avoid bootloop)

other suggestion is you come to my home tomorrow morning in order I arrange that for you!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Sorry i didn't check it first but you are 4 heads mode (read line 2 of your print) that explain wy your lack of blocks.

You shoud reset fdisk in secondary menu to 1 head like following example

1 heads, 16 sectors/track,

Units = cylinders of 16 * 512 = 8192 bytes

I have no means to open fdisk from here to guide you, but it is easy to find once understood.

I come back in 3 hours time and if you still have pb I'll check for more guidance.

OK?

ADD;

How to change heads number?

select (h) to change number of heads in expert menu (m)

(now you are the "expert") you should get some 970 000 cylinders to split.

doing this will allow you to successfully complete your memory table. great!
