[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purpleg:
Hi all I feel like such a doofus posting this.

I've forgotten the screen lock password for my Galaxy SII...I use the numeric PIN...not the swipe pattern.

On my last attempt a message box appeared saying that if I re-enter the password incorrectly again that "all data will be wiped" !:eek:

I cannot lose the data on this phone and all the google searches give say to a hard reset. There was a weird "tap the home key method" that I couldnt get to work as well.

Now I think I can remember the combination (it's either one or two numbers I'm positive of), but I'm too scared to enter them in just in case they are wrong.

I'm wondering if there is some sort of timer to the password attempts so they reset back to the 5 attempts I get to enter it.

Or will rebooting the phone for example reset the attempts?

It's pretty urgent because I really need to use the phone at the moment.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

at one stage it should have asked for your google account password, did it? if so provide your google account password and it will unlock your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Wow... thats new..

@OP: did it ask you for your Google password?

If u restart the phone, would u still see that u only have 1 try left ?

i had the same a little while ago, and i thought my fix was to restart the phone.

other fix that might help, i don't know if u have a backup done with CWM?

if so u could use the backup to restore and check if u still have 1 try left.

some buddy help how i do this,is there is any video tutorial it will be easy than.
[General Questions and Answers] Bagne:
Using Flashtool, try this, hope it helps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343

Don't forget to thank them.

You can flash both *.ftf and *.img files via flahtool

To get to CWM, after power on, when the kernel starts, there usually a short vibrate, push vol down

While in that state, the rest is the same steps as you already have.

Hope this help.

Cheers. :D

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
OK I've tried googling and found a few things related to this but not for the fascinate. I use a 32gb SD card and from time to time files pretty much vanish and all that is left is what looks like the file but is 0 bytes. Its a real SD card a sandisk class 4. It happens on CM7 no matter what kernel I use. Cm9 and CM10 don't have this problem unless I try a custom kernel (devil kernel) then after about a day the files change to 0 bytes. Any ideas?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbrad:
Bad SD card I would try a new one and faster one is recommended for custom ROMs class6+
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
That's the weird part about it is I can use my SD card in my Epic 4g and PC and it never does this. I switch between phones every now and then and the fascinate always gives me trouble after awhile. I was planning on buying a new card anyway, since most post online said that they just bought a higher class card and it was fixed. Hopefully a new card fixs it
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulnevrwalkalone:
If you are switching this card between devices when is the card being formatted? As in do you have the fassy format the card then switch it or is it being formatted by the epic 4g/pc/other? I would try having the fassy format the card from recovery and see if that does not make it more stable. Also like the others have stated it is recommended to have at least 6+ for card speed. Hope this helps :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
I try to format my card every once in awhile only because I copy a lot of seasons of TV shows to it. I have formated it on a pc, epic 4g and also have tried to have my fascinate format it but not threw recovery. I guess I'll give that a try when I get out of work. Thx! Fingers crossed....
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
Well its seems it did not help to format the SD threw recovery. It made it about twelve hours before data just vanishes only this time some file names were also messed up. Eh I guess mabey my fassy just hates the devil kernel. Stock kernal ain't bad so I guess I'm stuck with that lol. At least till I get newer SD card. Anybody know any good deals online for a 32gb class 10?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] vogi87:
First of all, i´m new to dxa and this is my first Thread/Question.

Dont blame me, my english is not soo good ;)

Hardfacts:

- LG 4X HD, NOT rooted

- V10d Austria-Hutchison Firmware (they´re testing V20a yet, i don´t know when its released and if it solves my problem).

I´ve been using BetterBatteryStats for quite a days now and i searched alle the forums and everyone seems to be have another problem.

Mine is this (i´ve wiped my device already):

It seems that, when i use my 3G-connection, _something_ from the "Android-System" extremly drains my battery even when i´m not using my phone.

Yesterday i chared it to 100% before i´ve gone to bed, just 2 phone calls. Went to sleep at 96%, no 3G-connection enabled.

In the morning i was on 94% - completely acceptable value for me. -> see first 5 attachments @6.am in the morning.

Then i usually turn on 3g & start imo.im and check mails/fb etc.

At 10.am i was on 60%, not using the phone much ... only when i got messages etc.

At the 6th attachment u can see that android system was draining much of the power --> i don´t know if its coming from imo.im or another app/service.

Could it really be that imo.im drains that much battery ? I can´t believe it ... the phone has _NOTHING_ to do.

At 2pm i was on less than 15% battery and i was not using the phone intensively ...

It is the v10d firmware ? Should it be better with v20a (flash) ?

What is this "baseband_xmm_power" ? Usually i got a very good signal here in Upper Austria. Peak-Values ~12mbit/s.

Remember i have an sim-locked provider phone!

I hope u guys can help me, i dont know what to do.

My HTC Desire with oxygen rom sniffs that values and laugh at it ... ;)

Thanks, Vogi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] barats:
I updated to 4.1.2 about 3 weeks ago or so. Not sure exactly. And the battery seemed to be just fine then. But slowly over these weeks, especially the last 4 days or so, it seems to be decreasing. I used to be able to go a whole day easy. And still have 45-50% left. And that would continue into the next day. Sometimes I would get 2 whole days and sitll have about 15% and then decide to charge it back.

Now, I can barely get a full day. And when I don't charge the phone at night, the battery charge decreases quite rapidly. Sometimes 15% or so with no usage at all overnight. It used to maybe move 3% at the most overnight with no usage.

My settings are the same. My usage is the same. I see time without signal is 2%. Nothing extremely high there.

Is this just one of the downside of 4.1.2 or is there something else happening that I'm not picking up on?

I didn't want this to really turn into what apps are out there to make the life better because I hate jumping through all those hoops and settings to get the most. I know this phone has the potential for 2 days of moderate use out the box because that is what I used to get. Seeing if I could get back to that state.

I was told to go into Wifi settings and change the setting not stay on while the phone is sleeping. Did not help at all. Per this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mInF-ZRX5bs

Did that last night. Charged it 97% and went to sleep. Slept for 5 and a half hours. Did not touch the phone at all. Woke up and it's at 82% this morning. Here's the screenshot of the battery stats:

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidjon:
Yup...update messed up my battery life also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] barats:
Glad it's not just me then. Have you found anyway to make it a little better?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesseMT4G:
Well if you don't need to wanted at night, then what I do is put it in airplane mode and take off when waking up.

If you still get wake locks, check to see which ones they are off a wake lock app.

Also before I put into stand by, I exit all apps, also restart phone with airplane mode on. Doing this I haven't lost any battery life at all and seems to help throughout the day as well

Currently 60% right now and over 3 hours on-screen time and 16 hours.

Doing much better if I don't do what I have been doing.

Also make sure all GPS location settings are off. Huge battery drain for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] barats:
Yeah I know airplane mode will work but I receive texts late at night sometimes and those would not come through. Before this update, I never had a problem. I never had to make sure apps were closed and all this other stuff. It just never drained on me at all. When I first had the phone, I used to have to try very hard to drain the battery to zero so I could let the phone die and then get a full charge. The battery life used to be very great. Now, not so much.

And I have no idea why Slacker is being used like that. I haven't used that app in 3 weeks. And I don't see any settings that would cause it to being used in the background when I'm clearly not using it.

Yes I never have GPS on until I need it for navigation purposes. I'm hoping Key Lime Pie fixes this or we get another minor update before that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xcrazydx:
You should never discharge your phone to anywhere close to dead. It ruins your battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jigglynuts:
Do you have lte on? Are you in an lte area? Have you tried a factory reset?

My battery life was horrible when j first upgraded. Seeing as i am not with T-Mobile i do not get lte. I turned my lte off and my battery went back to normal.

A factory reset may also clear any gremlins that you may have left over frlm the update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] booma428:
Same here owned it since december...great battery and after update it went down the drain (especially losing 15-20% overnight with just about everything turned off. I would usually let it get down to 10-15% and then charge. Well eventually my phone would only charge "when it wanted too" so I got a replacement, updated to 4.1.2 and battery lifes has been great.

As far as not doing full cycles or not...ive looked and looked and everyone says diff. Some experts argue it's good to let ot drain till about 5% and then charge And other experts say charge often and not let it below x percentage. Soooo confused on the topic, so in the end to each their own I guess lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbeltoft:
I've been searching for an answer to this but couldn't find anything so here goes...

Is it possible to sync music from my Nexus 10 to my 3rd gen ipod nano?

I can connect the ipod to the nexus using a OTG cable and I can copy files between the devices but when I copy a mp3 file to the ipod, the ipod can't detect it so i'm able to play it.

I'm guessing i need some sort of sync software so the music files are written to the ipod the right way. (does the ipod contain some sort of DB to keep track of the music?)

Any ideas to get this to work??

What is the general consensus about MA7 vs MA5. I did a quick search on them and couldn't find a thread that addressed this question?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
I don't believe anyone ever figured out any changes between the 2, other than ma7 was the ota.

check out our rom website, http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
Well, I didn't do any research on this topic, but it has been asked before. Basically, what it boils down to, MA5 was a leaked OTA that was never officially released; ie it was leaked. MA7 was officially released. Thus, overall, the difference is probably just security fixes and performance tweaks. I don't recall there being any significant features being added.

I ran a stock deoxdized MA5 and, currently, MA7. Nothing form what I can could tell seemed to be different from my user experience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ideas4ya:
Agreed

I agree. I don't see any other differences other than stability and MAYBE a slight increase in speed. I think the speed increases comes fom the stability in that any device should run faster and more efficiently if the build becomes stronger and solid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Ma5 was a leak and never was stable for our note 2..... officially! !!!! Ma7 was the official from ljc but I have been seeing that with the upcoming release of the sg4 we will be getting 4.2.2 soon after!!!!:D:D:D
