[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RPHGALAXYS2:
What I have:

ATT Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket

What I was doing:

Updating via Kies to JB

What Happened:

It froze or got stuck half way on upgrade via Kies. Went to recovery likes prompted but will not recovery. Samsung says mail them the phone because stuck in recovery mode.

What I have done now:

Went to XDA ! and downloaded ODIN 1.85 and stock ATT tar file per Vicom (sp). Also installed TWRP. I can get into recovery and download modes ! I tried to flash with ODIN but did not work ( would not reboot) Tried to flash with TWRP with ATT tar in my sd card. Looked like it worked but would not reboot.

What now? Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RK:
If you have twrp, and can get to it, install the ucmc1 stock ROM by Mohan. .tar file is for Odin only. Also, read vincoms sticky again (and again)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RPHGALAXYS2:
FIXED

Did every thing in Vincoms procedures. Nothing worked. Talked to Samsung and they said when original update failed to complete it did not leave enough info for recovery to finish it. BUT ! Samsung said to just go to ATT Service center store ( not retail ) and have them flash phone for free back to original. Took ATT all of 10 minutes ! Phone is like new. Now why did the original Samsung rep I first talked not tell me aboyt ATT re flash? :confused: Anyway phone is fixed:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajdearmond:
Question.

When they flashed your phone, did they flash it to JB? Or did they flash it to ICS and you updated it to JB? (Or neither?) The first time I tried to update my phone via Kies, the same thing happened to me and AT&T said they couldn't flash my phone. (Maybe it has to do with where you're from?) I had to send my phone to Samsung and I got it back with ICS, and I'm afraid to do the update via Kies because I don't want it to do that again, or I'll have to send it to Samsung again.

Basically, I'm trying to figure out if I can do the update safely now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Nothing is ever safe. Either take the risk or don't. Or just Odin it yourself instead of sending your phone away like a tard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajdearmond:
Sorry, it would have probably been easier if I just linked my original thread. I used Odin, I did everything I could. It just wouldn't completely transfer, it would just do basically what this persons phone was doing from what I can tell.

I understand there's a risk, and that's why I haven't done it yet. I just figured I'd ask, I'd be a lot more comfortable doing it if it worked for him :)

I'm still relatively new to the N7100 and would like to know which CM 10.1 based ROM is the easiest on the battery? I just found out that CM 10.1 by itself is worse than stock when it comes to battery charge longevity.

I didn't try all CM10.1 based ROM but the better for me is the Rootbox : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217894

Hi, I flashed NEAK and now my ext4 formatted external SDcard is read-banned.

Is there any setting I can toggle so I can read the SDcard again?

Thanks-
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clearday:
NEAK keeps on causing 'read-banned' on external SD even after wipes and factory reset.

Oh well. This kernel has so much potential but it just doesn't work for me.

I guess back to plain CM 10.1. Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Did you try to format your extsdcard to fat32?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clearday:
Unfortunately I can't use FAT32. I have a Linux OS image that is bigger than 4GB and I'm using ext4.

This is an odd limitation on the kernel. I already tried factory reset, and even installing RootBox then NEAK. Whenever NEAK gets installed, that's when the read-banned takes effect.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
I would say the best from my experience would be Slimbean ROM coupled with neak Kernel. By default its the lightest and weighs in at 98MB and you can flash the add on yourself from their website. And one of the other things I love about it is that there's barely any wake locks occuring.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clearday:
Thanks- Is slim bean based on CM 10.1?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
If I'm not mistaken SlimRom uses Android source code and not CM10.1 ROMs
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clearday:
Yeah, unfortunately one of my mods only works with CM 10.1.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bojackson2015:
hi. i got a tmobile samsung galaxy s2. I am out of my warranty. i had my phone for about six month thru a warranty exchange.

I was browsing espn.com, then out of no where the phone turned itself off and started to vibrate. I have tried to power it on, and it just vibrates. it turns on a quarter way then begins to vibrate. i left the battery out since the problem started waited the whole night to pass, still just beeps.

I googled how to put phone into discovery mode, but when I do the steps, it also powers the discovery mode quarter way then turns off and starts to vibrate. Is it a sticky power button. The power button presses normally,doesnt resist when i press it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EQ811977:
Sounds to me like a sticky or stuck power button. If you can take it apart...clean around the button that might help. There are a few guides in the Skyrocket forum on how to do it. Search for sticky power button or look at the stickies by Vincom. I have a T989 as well and used some of these methods and it worked. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] maldohector24:
I think taths the power button.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thakrew317:
To be honest your probably going to have to the the button replaced I had same issue I tried everything to cleaning it and around it and even prying it away from the connector and nothing worked I had to send it into Samsung and they had to replace the motherboard thankfully it was still under warranty its worth a shot to call em n ask if yours is
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeremyo83:
I had the same issue, took it apart and tried cleaning to no avail. I called a local cell repair shop and as soon as I said I had an S2 and started to describe the issue, he stopped me and said it was a short in the switch, which had to be replaced, and gave me a quote. Seems to be something of a common issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asharx:
How much was it for the shop to fix this?

I am looking at buying an S2 for $100 that is doing this shut off & vibrate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rlee008:
I got something similar happening to a S2 I have. I was using it, it just shut down and won’t boot anymore. As soon as I plug it in it'll start vibrating indefinitely, pull the battery and re-insert it, and it'll keep on vibrating indefinitely. Sometimes I see the SAMSUNG logo but that as far as I can get. RECOVERY doesn’t work, ODIN doesn’t work, no button combination works... seems kind of dead to me.

You guys think it’s worth sending it to SAMSUNG and getting a quote to get it repaired?

EDIT: sometimes i can get into download mode for about 3 seconds then it blue screens and reboots. I can get as far as pressing the VOL+ up and then reboots...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JohnnyArcade:
So did anyone find a solution or was it a "short in the switch"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sukhlall86:
Solution

SOLUTION !!! Hey i share your pain... i have an

S2 as well and have been facing the same

problem... my phone is rooted so at first i

thought the problem was due to an unstable

custom rom... anyway the REAL problem is

called a "STICKY POWER KEY". all you need is a

bright light, a can of CRC (the none conductive

type) and a Phillips head screw driver.. you need

to remove the back cover of your phone, remove

your battery and or charger , sim and sd card

then remove the six screws that is holding the

phone together. after that , carefully pry open the

phone and remove the circuit board that has the

power button and the volume Buttons.. this is a

little tricky because in order to get the circuit

board out you will need to detach some

connectors.. now you need to spray some CRC

on the power button using the fine tip straw that

comes with the CRC CAN .. then you just need

to press the power button until you get tired... i

use CRC intermittently while i press, be careful

not to get too much on the circuit board tho..

when you are done , put the phone back together

and let it sit for an hour then replace the battery

and turn on your phone voila ..... feel free to

inbox me if you require further assistance...

Hey all,

I just got a cool little adapter thingy off ebay that lets me plug my guitar into my note 2 via otg. I am using an app called "usb effects" to output the sound through my phones speaker. It seems like it would have a lot of potential to be really cool, but like any other computer that I've plugged my guitar into, there's one flaw...latency. Right now I'd say there is at least a 100ms delay between playing a note and hearing it through the speaker. I googled things like "note 2 low latency audio" but everything I've read is too technical for me to understand. So, if someone with a better understanding of how these things work could give me a simple answer, I'd really appreciate it! Basically my question is this; is there anything I can do to reduce the sound output latency?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have officially started the "Theme Project" which is going to be a bunch of themes for different devices. I currently own the Galaxy Note II for T-Mobile and I already have a Status Bar theme out for that. I know how to theme and plan on theming for multiple devices. I just need some devices to theme for. Any of you guys got a certain theme you would like to see for your device? Comment below and I will definitely start to theme for you guys. Now i do not have that device (obviously lol) so you guys will have to test it.

You can also PM me if you would to.

Yeah that's fine. Mine's the international variant rather than the Sprint but it will work across the board anyway.

I'm most familiar with making an AOSP theme. Would you be interested in that?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PowerMan572:
I have the Huawei Ascend Mate (the new 6.1" smartphone that just came out in China)

I was trying to install a rooted ROM... well when it rebooted my phone it was stuck at the logo screen for like 15 minutes so I pulled the plug. Now the phone is in a continuous boot and it won't start up!

I can boot into Recovery Mode, but the phone restarts every 10 seconds with NO CONTROL over this time limit!

I downloaded the dload/UPDATE.app and put it on my sd card (this is the original ROM from Huawei's site) and it will start to do it's thing, but 10 seconds isn't enough to install a ROM.

Any ideas on how to get this 10 second reboot time limit off?

I'd appreciate anyone's help! I just dropped almost $600 on this phone and I feel like it's going to be a VERY expensive paperweight now :(

Can I do anything with boot.img, cust.img, system.img, etc? I have these files but not sure what I can do with them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodexLink:
I didnt know that time limit

Can you do wipe data and cache and reboot

The stuck in logo or many times showing the logo reapeating its bootloop

Try wipe data and cache then reboot?

Iam Filipino
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PowerMan572:
I've tried both! I can wipe cache fast enough, but that doesn't do anything.

When I try to do factory reset, or try to install the manufacture's ROM via their "UPDATE.app" file, my phone will only stay on for about 10 seconds before rebooting! I have no way of stopping my phone from rebooting.

From coming off the phone to Orange UK today, about picture messages my partner receives on a daily basis from me for the last two weeks for no reason, I was expecting them to say it was a fault with her own network.

Instead, they surprised me for once, by telling me it was a serious known Orange Network fault.

I've searched around for this answer for about 2 hours now but I still can't figure it out.

Does anyone where know the cpu VDD levels are stored in an HTC kernel source? I want to compile the kernel with new voltages but I can't find where they are saved anywhere. (Can't find any voltage settings in the menuconfig GUI either)

I'm referring to the same values that you would find at "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels" after the rom/kernel is built and installed.

[HTC Desire X] oddoneout:
I've been lurking the Desire X forum for some time now, and I'm getting my own DX in a few days. Something I've noticed is the slow development for this device, lack of S-OFF, and no official support from CM, AOKP and so on.

This is slightly worrying, since the device has already been out for about 6 months now. Is this too short of a period for development to pick up more quickly? Or is it just not as popular as other devices?

The DX is the only affordable dual core device I can get at the moment and I'm really hoping development will pick up soon.

PS - thumbs up to all the developers currently contributing to this device, keep up the great work :good:
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
You asked 2 questions:

1. Is this too short of a period for development to pick up more quickly?

No, its a long long time. Some flagship devices get all above you mentioned within a month. But mid-range phones are not so lucky. Browse the sony/samsung/lge MID-RANGE sets, and i repeat MID-RANGE, and you'll see that they are even handicapped than us. This phone is getting 4.1.1 officially and in my opinion have no reason not to get 4.2 as well. (5.0 will be a dream)

2. Or is it just not as popular as other devices?

See above. Its a mid-range device with satisfactory performance. The design and build makes it look costly and so our expectations rise. I dont deny that HTC have recently not been as consumer-friendly as they used to be, but thats that.

Developers still waiting for JB kernel sources
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
JB kernel sources dont explain the lack of interest dear.

The ICS kernel sources are out and ONLY ONE developer did something with it. Even if JB sources are revealed soon, it does not guarantee that more developers will come (and i mean AOSP developers).

But i hope u r right.
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
Not to be antagonistic but it's a pretty poor phone with a dearth of support from HTC to begin with. There won't be a surge of development, for a number of reasons.

I'm not even starting on this phone as I'm already sick of it and looking to sell.

You're better off with a flagship, popular phone if you want many roms. Ideally not a HTC. Sorry to be so negative.
[HTC Desire X] melendi:
Yes, but how do you explain tha for instance HTC Desire is no flagship but has so many Custom ROMs and official CM too... I think it also depends on support, literally speaking, how many people are using that brand of phone and how much is it favourite...

[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
HTC DESIRE WAS A FLAGSHIP. Make no mistakes about it. At its time of release, it was THE MOST POPULAR android device and from then on, it got SO many devs that still its going strong.

Just check some of the features which our 3-year newer device desire x doesnt have.

1. Multiple colored led lights. (4 +)

2. Digital compass

Plus these things which were awesome in 2010.

512MB ram AT THAT TIME 2010. Even now, 512 is not found on every phone.

AMOLED screen

GPS/FM/BT/WIFI all radio related sensors. We are still stuck on the same sensors in 2013. no nfc, no dual camera.

5MP camera. We still have the same MP sensor even though its much much better.

What i wanna say is, Desire X is not a flagship, so dont treat it like one. You spent less money so expect less.

Strictly speaking, for its price, its a very good phone IMHO.

i dont think it really matters whether a phone is mid range or high end all that matters is how famous the device and how much devs support it i have a galaxy mini not a flagship phone but intensely popular and it has unofficial cm10.1 til date running on a 600 mhz processor our desire x is way better and gives a better bang for buck than any htc phone :highfive::highfive:
