[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NikoStone:
I am having issues with my S pen and I haven't been able to find a solution on the forums. I bought this phone from my friend but had to buy the s pen separately since he lost it.

The first pen that I bought from Amazon.com was giving me problems and I ended up returning it because I thought that maybe it was a fake. It was acting like it was touching the screen when it wasn't and when I would use it to scroll up or down on pages, it would just scroll really fast to the top or bottom of the screen. When using the S Note app, it would only write on the screen if I clicked the button in while I was writing, otherwise it would act as though I was erasing.

I just got my second pen in the mail today and it is giving me the same problems. I tried tapping and smacking and all those things but they didn't work. Then I popped off the button to adjust the potentiometer but the inside of my pen looks nothing like the inside of the pens on the videos.

I'm really frustrated that I can't just buy a pen that works properly. Am I doing something wrong? I'm ready to just return this pen and give up on the idea of using an S Pen altogether.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] abowlby:
I know you'll pay for it, but if sPen is one of the main features you love about the Note 2, it might be worth it to buy one directly from Samsung. It's not that hard to KIRF official products after all.

How much are you paying for these flawed pens?

EDIT: OP follow this link to the Google Play store. This is an app that resets your sPen (require root) however within the description of the app, the developer mentions switching the handedness of the sPen under settings in order to sort of "calibrate" it.

Read it, try it, good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
For those having spen problems.... I know this may sound weird but just take the pen and point it toward a table and hit it a cople times on the tip.. losens the tip up and helps with the touches
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] abowlby:
:D

Beat it with a hammer until it works or asplodes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
Yess... it needs a lil loosening
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NikoStone:
Thanks for the suggestion. I returned the pen to Amazon and am waiting for my refund. I think I'm just going to buy a new one directly from Samsung like you suggested before I completely give up on this feature.

Thanks for your help! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong or missing something obvious.

Hi,

i did undervolt for the CPU and the GPU, but i have a question, on Stweak, we can put the mini frequency of the GPU at 54mhz or 108mhz.

On stock, it is set on 160mhz, anyone tried to set to 108mhz or 54mhz in order increase the battery life ?

54mhz = 825mv (stock)

108mhz = 850mv

160mhz = 938mv (stock) and mine is 875mv

Should i try min at 108mhz and undervolt at 800mv ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohammed779:
I actually don't think there will be problems since the kernel is providing it..

I guess you should try them without setting on boot.. If you had no issues then you may set it on boot.. That's the easiest way to know weather it's good or bad :D

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
I'll do this, but i hope it will increase the battery life instead of making lags
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amplatfus:
any battery improvements?

Hi,

please did you have tried to do so?

Did you obtain any battery improvements?

Thank you in advance,

amplatfus
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
Hi, i turned back to 160mhz because i got some bootloops, i was affraid of SDS.

But indeed i could remember that i got a better battery life but not impressive... You can see this when screen is on, but i got some wakelock due to low frequency i think.

So battery drained faster in deep sleep while not when screen on.

You should try but be careful, you should put a file .zip which can be flashed in recovery mode to reset settings on the kernel, because if you want to put 54mhz you have to click on "enable on boot" on the kernel settings.

sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
You better have to install greenify and uninstall facebook which give me lot of wakelock which drained my battery.

Now i always have 6/7h screen on time with 2days of standby which is really awesome since i use 3g more than wifi.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amplatfus:
Already did this actions: +Greenify, - Facebook. It is OK, I am not complaining, but I like to get maximum battery life.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MayorQuimby:
Hi Guys,

I'm using the official D2EXT MIUI-Rom (latest Version) on my HTC Desire, had no problems with it so far.

I've updated my SU binary with the preinstalled SU-App yesterday, wasn't thinking about any bad consequences.

I rebooted the phone and wanted to view some pictures from my SD Card: no access anymore.

Windows says, the type of my data partition is RAW. Ubuntu just says, I dont have any rights to get access on that card.

The card is definitely NOT broken! I'm restoring all files right now from my card with Recuva (Windows). But for example, pictures seem to be broken and can't be displayed.

What should I do now? Might a SU binary downgrade help? Is there any way to downgrade without a working SD card?

I hope I didn't forget any important information, sorry for my bad english and thanks for reading! :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Better off check the MIUI site as there is no love for that roms here and no development for it either.

Ive just recently put the jellybean firmware on my samsung galaxy S2 on Vodaphone firmware.

ive concidered rooting it just for 1 reason, to removie bloatware like google play movies or music hub, to uninstall the bloatware is the only reason for a root, anything else i would not be intrested in doing.

i have routed before when i had it on the ICS firmware. the only thing that turns me off from rooting is how unstable it was, many times programs would stop or freeze or somehow didnt work right i feel due to the phone being rooted. it even had a problem of strficking its self off after a small length of time or pretending the battery had drained when it had half full power.

if i could find a root for the jellybean where the only difference id notice to its performance is that i could remove bloatware then i would do it.

is there anyway to get a stable rooting that doesnt screw up everything and cause lots of problems for the jellyboan firmware on the S2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCVader13:
Detailed tutorial.

Rooting shouldn't have any impact on performance if you just remove some things but make sure to backup everything you are going to remove, know exactly what you are removing and it is best to use Titanium Backup for making backups and removing bloatware, which you can get from the Play store.

Is it possible to use voice dialing? It would help with this problem of having to open the case to use the phone if I could set it to use voice commands. I see someone has referred to voice commands on the xda 1, but I can't find it in the help file, even though this is quite a standard facility on ordinary mobile phones.

I am using it, and I love it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
but it cost money

there are a great many features that normal cellphones support that xda's dont

i suppose this is because as i see it the xda is a pda with cellphone not a cellphone with pda

not sure of smartphones are closer to cellphones optionwise but would suspect that they are
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] noviur:
you are correct - it is a PDA with cell phone functionality... but it is worth it...

In regards to the MS Voice Dialing - one of the pluses - you do not have to do "tagging" - it will recognize the name from the Contacts... another very good feature - you can actually dial the number (like DIAL 5551212) and it will dial for you.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
Can you explain further what you mean by this.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mikesands:
Quote from Microsoft Voice Command User's Guide

"International dialing formats (or dialiing any number starting with a 0 (zero)) are not supported; to dial an unsupported number format, you can create a contact with the number and then call that contact)"

Also voice command seems only to accept 7 digit or 10 digit numbers. They say that it will accept a 1+10-digit number, but what I think they mean by this is the numeral 1 at the begining. So most UK mobile (actually you have to say 'moble' for the lady to recognise it) numbers are too long as are all the landline numbers.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] leburpor:
I've just installed FONIX VOICE DIAL into the XDA II and it works flawlessly! :D

It doesn't tell you what meetings you have next or launch applications (ala MS Voice Command) but I don't need all that. All I wanted was a voice dialer for when I'm driving and this software does it perfectly.

Voice Dialing can be done either by referencing your contact list "Call Adam Smith mobile" or you can use "Dial 001160343437656". No training is required but you can fine tune the voice recognition (haven't tried this yet).

Highly recommended.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] interkin3tic:
My .thumbnail file in .DCIM keeps expanding to fill all available space, preventing me from taking pictures and causing the system to become unstable. Today, ".thumbdata3--1967290299" was up to 3.5 gb. I delete it every time, but it grows back after the next reboot. Whether I delete the folder, the files itself, doesn't matter. I do have a lot of large pictures on the external SD card (not taken with the camera on the phone), which is perhaps the reason thumbnail is growing so large.

I used titanium backup pro to freeze gallery, but then I can't take pictures with the camera.

Judging from google search and a search across all XDA forums, this is not specific to the skyrocket, or the rom I'm running (cyanogenmod 10). I'm not coming across any specific solutions though other than delete them. There was one suggestion to setup a program to automatically delete the file, however that seems... inelegant.

I've also switched to using quickpic instead of the stock gallery option, but again that does nothing.

I tried naming a notepad document to .thumbnails to prevent android from making a .thumbnails file, but windows wouldn't let me.

Mediascanner seems to go nuts every time I turn on my phone after deleting the old file, the phone is warm to the touch, and BetterBatteryStats indicates it's running the cpu at 1.51 GHz for 15 to 20 minutes after boot. I'm going to try disabling media scanner to see if that prevents thumbnail from being built up, but I was wondering if anyone had any other fixes or suggestions. Like if there was any way to set a maximum file size on the thumbnail file, or if there was a way to disable the stock gallery without compromising camera functionality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RK:
The solution I suggest will help with your media scanner issues but your photos will no longer be visible in the gallery.

Go to the folder you keep your photos in and use a file explorer app like root explorer to create an empty file named .nomedia

This tells the android media scanner to skip that folder. If you have folders inside folders, place a .nomedia file in each folder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] interkin3tic:
If media scanner has already detected said files, will it still show up in either Gallery or Quickpik? And will new pictures I take be added to either without media scanner?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RK:
I am pretty sure already scanned pics will be gone. As for new pics, I don't know. You just have to try it yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] interkin3tic:
Update: rescan media root, preventing media scanner from going every time the phone reboots, seems to have fixed it. Camera function is not compromised, nor are pictures hidden from quickpik.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
I was just going to recommend that. It seems to have helped me keep boot times down and help with battery life.

[Android General] xsycox:
Hi guys,

I am using the tablet Ainol Crystal with Paranoid Android 2.54. Unfortunately, this tablet has a battery meter problem (stuck to 99 or 100%), which occurs every several weeks and to fix that, you have to open up an app like "Terminal Emulator" and enter these lines:

$ su

# echo B8 > /sys/devices/i2c-2/2-0034/axp20_reg

# echo B820 > /sys/devices/i2c-2/2-0034/axp20_reg

After that, you can reboot and recharge your battery again and it seems to work ... for a while until it happens again. To me it hold up six weeks until it came back.

Now, I am getting really pissed about that recurring issue, because typing this code is totally annoying. Therefore I would like to know, if there is an app for that problem, that does that fixing or if someone can create a script, which we just have to start, so that the stuff is entered ... et voilá.

Thank you in advance for any hint/help. :)

It should not really. The phone is over two years old, single core processor, and officially no support past GB. ICS has been out for some time and now JB is out on its second iteration already (4.1 then 4.2). All of this drives prices way down. This is simply the way technology depreciates. The same thing happens with laptops and desktops...regardless of how clean it is.

I would base my asking price off what they are going for on ebay.

Hi Cheesy,

I had this same problem when I got my HTC One. The APN was correct. My account was set up for LTE. I figured out the problem.

It seems that my One was sent with a SIM that was somehow a 3G only one -- and I don't know if that's because of the nature of the SIM (I thought there used to be 3G only SIMs) or if it is because the account that was attached to it was so broken that they couldn't fix it in the computer. All I know is that when I went into a store and had them replace the SIM and reprovision my number on the new SIM, everything worked.

HTH,
