Hi, Can you please send me the link from where you downloaded I9082XXAMF7 custom rom.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] psytr0nic:
I took it there : #LINK not really customized , just rooted . Roms are 100% samsung stock one according to OP and what I saw too . nothing missing .
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mr_coimbatore:
Thanks for the link. It works perfectly.

XXAMF7 got loaded on the baseband version of ZNAM2.

I have the same problem like yours. As soon as it was loaded it said there is a software update, but when say OK to update the software it keeps searching. Have you got any solution for this?

Also, did you try if you upload the stock ROM of XXAMF7 on the unicom Duos? Whether the radio works?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mr_coimbatore:
After update, firmware is still 4.1.2??

Do you have USB on the go (OTG) option. (Means can you connect the USB flash drive to you mobile by means of a adaptor cable??

I have the original battery since i buy the phone (2 years ago) i think my battery drain is because is old how can i check it ? and which battery to buy same hes i heve(1500mhA) or the 1900mhA that i saw in ebay ..?
[LG Optimus 2x] hostel666:
depends on what you are doing at the time.....

are you playing a game or using wifi......

use a battery app and see what is using howmuch....

check the battery in settings for example...
[LG Optimus 2x] Hejkompas:
If you run out of juice quite so often it might be handy to have some extra battery on hand. An extra battery is only a few bucks anyway. Also changing ROM and/or kernel can have a huge impact on running time. Some ROMs get you 6hours and others over a day of usage.

And i need to buy battery same as original or one with big capacity. .?

I bought an original from amazon. performance as opposed to the old is enormous. I use the CM10.1 Rom from tonyp and KK122 Kernel from pengus.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigBen:
Hi There!

I'm new here, so sorry in advance if I do something wrong.

I've a i9100 SII, but the imei and baseband are unknown. I've found a tutorial to get them back (forum.gsmhosting. com/vbb/f777/samsung-i9100-galaxy-sii-no-imei-unknown-baseband-solution-1490783/) and I followed the steps.

But at "6. Go to Repair GSII tab, follow the steps." I get a problem. at the last step in the tab, it says "delete nv_data.bin and repair it with bak files" when I let the app do this, it say "You don't have .nv_data.bak and his md5 files, canceled".

I think if have to get those files from anywhere?

Or what must I do?

In the downloaded archivement files was this:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
well the files u have downloaded isof the stock firmware , insecure kernel to root and odin for flashing stock rom and the pit file for repartitioning ..

the nvdata file is found in the root of ur phone and the imei no is stored in that basically if u say u have lost it then perhaps u wont b able to get ur imei back.. u shud always backup ur efs folder ...

do u haave a backup of efs done earlier ?

is ur phone in warranty>?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Unless it's the 'temporary/intermittent IMEI disappearing' thing that seems to be happening a lot lately, if you don't have an EFS backup you're unlikely to be able to fix this yourself easily without the right equipment/the knowledge to use it. Better off paying someone who does/has the experience to do it, will be cheaper than paying an authorised repairer to fix it, put it that way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigBen:
If have no back up from my efs as var I know...

I brought the phone on a site like ebay, but then the dutch version of that. So it has no warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigBen:
Is it not possible to copy a file from a other i9100, and just change the imei number?

Other ways I will send the phone to a repaircenter...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
well i doubt if the service center repairs imei.. and changing of imei is illegal ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes, changing a device's IMEI is illegal in most countries. If you take it to a service centre, they'll 're-write' the IMEI to the phone, if you ask around local mobile shops (who aren't authorised Samsung repairers), you may be pleasantly surprised to find out they can also fix your phone (and probably much cheaper than an authorised repairer).

The other way you could do it (and this would be a ridiculous way to fix an issue like this given the other options) would be to replace the motherboard with one from a 'donor' phone (a phone with a smashed screen that's otherwise OK, for example), you'd then end up with the IMEI from that phone.

Sooooo, you can either take your chance with a service centre (might want to unroot your phone/remove all traces of same first) & act like you have no idea what happened, and they might just fix it under warranty (assuming the warranty is still good), tho obviously IMEI's tend to only disappear when people 'mess' with their phones like you have, so they'd be within their rights to make you pay for repair. Or you could do the local mobile shop/non-authorised repairer thing as I mentioned above.

How to restore Imei

If found some efs filles in "sdcard0" (I think its the internal storrage?)

The folder "EFSProBackup" with has inside: "EFS_2013422_21555.img", "GT-I9100_2013422_22418.tar.gz" and a (empty) folder named "temp".

Also there are two other files with EFS in there name just in the "sdcard0" folder: "efsbackup.tar.gz" and "efsdev-mmcblk0p1.img.gz"

It looks that more folders contains EFS backups, such as the folders: "GalaxSimUnlock", "GSII_repair", "speedsoftware" and "sgstools".

Are this the back-up where I am looking for? How to restore the folders?

All

can anybody suggest how when using the default diary (UK o2 version) Can you increase or permanently add to the "location" drop down menu please? I want to be able to add a list of regular meeting venues.

Also when I tell it to add attendees it always wants to send an e mail to them for confirmation. Can I turn this off?

Lastly, can I get it to add attendees who do not have an e-mail address?

Many Thanks

Location drop down

My xda appears to work just as I think you want. When I add a new location to a meeting, the location is remembered and can be chosen from the drop-down menu next time I need it.

I do not know if this has anything to do with the rom version. I have unlocked my O2 xda and use it on an orange contract. My rom version is 1.60.00WWE (whatever that means!)

Skinomi Full Body Carbon Fiber Skin for Galaxy S IV + HD Pics​

So, like many, i personally dislike the Galaxy S IV plastic back which catches smudges and fingerprints so easily and thus i went ahead and purchased the Skinomi Full body Carbon Fiber Skin for it. There were a couple of alternatives like Bodyguardz and Zagg, etc. But they were all more expensive options for almost same thing you were getting with this. This cost me $16 from Skinomi's Official Amazon store including shipping. The only other alternative at the price was Armorsuit so i picked Skinomi just by chance. So here is what i liked and disliked about this product:

Pros/Advantages:

- Lowest Priced Solutions on the market.

- Full Body Protection (Back + Front + Sides + Home Button)

- Nice Packaging ( I Know this dosent matter but, it definitely comes well presented and i think the attention to detail compared to other brands is good.)

- Good amount of Solution Included

- Good Documentation on Installation Procedure + Online help included too.

- Easy To Apply (Seriously, I went ahead and installed it without too much trouble. Had to spend some time aligning it but otherwise it was a good experience.)

- Stay on and dont come off once properly applied (The Screen protector takes about a day to fully set but the skin should be good in around 2 hours after applied. Applying heat using hair drier helps speed it up).

- Very Precisely Cut (Seriously)

- Very Fast Shipping (Next Business Day Shipped and received after 2 working days)

- Good Customer Support. Very good and quick in replying to emails and questions.

Cons/Disadvantages:

- The texture of the skin could be a bit better.

- The screen protector is slightly rubbery like any wet install screen protector.

- They should use a wet install method for the skin to make alignment easy.

(Other than that i dont really think there is much to complain about. For the price of $16, you get its worth.)

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MMakoto:
Thanks for the review. Does the skin raise high enough to protect the camera lens though? Also, why do you still put a case over it? Wouldn't it defeat the purpose of having a nice skin? I assume the skin would Peel off after a few times of removing the tpu case?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Nasty_z:
Any pics of the front?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] endingcolt007:
The skin causes the camera to sit very flush. As such it offers no protection, at least in my opinion. I go with the case because I generally am always switching between accessories, sometimes I like going with a case sometimes not but 1 thing that bothers me is the amount of dinner prints

and smudges the plastic gets so that's why the skin. Personally I would recommend going with a good car rather than a skin because of the added protection.

About your second question on peeling, it hasn't peeled at all. I too thought that I would start to peel soon but I made sure I used the hairdryer to get the skin on properly and its been on for good since then.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Addressing the aforementioned points only, you're not going to be able to apply this material wet, it is most likely the 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber from the pics, and the adhesive will not bond if water / soap & water is brought into the mix, this is a dry installation only. I work with this stuff all the time, so I have some insight into it. I'm sure it's precision cut, but that's not very hard to do considering.... I would much rather start with a larger piece and cut it to fit, as I've done in the past:

Captivate in black and white carbon

Atrix 4G in black carbon

The skin does't need any time to cure, really, the adhesive is incredibly strong bonding, and note that I'm not talking about go and beat up on it or throw it around in a purse or something, but apply it and forget about it. Heating with a hair dryer or heat gun will help with the installation if you really need it (I wouldn't use it because it makes the adhesive more tacky, instantly), but it's good to use for the corners once the majority of the backing is fully applied. The best advise I can give for doing it this way is to line up the holes in the skin around the camera and start smoothing it out VERY gently until you're sure it's in the right place. If you mess up, try to lift it up quickly and get it it off the surface in one motion without stretching the material. This stuff is SO cheap though, I'm sure they have some kind of warranty on it if you screw up and they'll be nice enough to send you a replacement for free....
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] endingcolt007:
Thanks for the insight into how they work, but about not having a wet install skin for the back im not too sure that there arent any because i have seen a few videos of people applying their skins using the regular solution provided. Im not sure which brand it was, i will share if i find the video. And yes, they do offer full lifetime warranty! sorry i forgot to mention that! Hey BTW which skin/brand did u use on your Captivate? Looks pretty neat! Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Sorry, guess I wasn't clear enough - I used the 3M Di-Noc vinyl that I was talking about and hand cut it myself. This vinyl cannot be applied wet, so if you have seen a video of someone applying carbon fiber vinyl on a device, it was NOT texturized as the two layers (the texture part and the adhesive part) simply cannot be exposed to moisture prior to installation
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] endingcolt007:
i guess then what i saw must have been a different sort of skin! thanks for the info! Cheers :)

Here are some more updated pics for the same. (Also i have updated the thread with my video review if you want to watch on youtube). Here are the additional pics:

Love it

I love the texture of the carbon back and side pieces.

Even without a wet install, you can peel back and reapply the carbon fiber pieces multiple times without adverse effect (at least if you do it relatively quickly—I say from experience).

Generally, this is a sweet way to protect your phone without adding weight and bulk. I used ArmourSuit's back/front/side protector on my S2 which I had for about two months. When I peeled it off for sale, it looked as good as new. I fully expect this to be similarly effective, and this has the added bonus of extra grip vis-a-vis the all-clear types.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kakikbau:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jax5ter:
will this interfere with NFC? Or NFC works?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Some facts.....

This is vinyl, vinyl doesn't affect any type of radio frequency or transmissions unless it contains metal like certain metallic vinyls I've used can

If it were real carbon fiber, it wouldn't affect anything either, as carbon isn't conductive or a barrier like metals and alloys can

:good:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumbler:
Hi

'Noob' here, be gentle, please.

My original Desire is 2.5 years old. So is the battery that started playing up.

It didn't last long and the phone kept suddenly switching off at about 50%. I guess it's a pretty common problem: Htc Desire Shuts down at 40-50% battery

So, I've bought a new one, "aoonen".

The new problem is that it stacks at 15% when charging.

The LED light turns green and it shows in the Status: Battery status - Full, Battery level - 15%.

Sometimes after plugging out an back in it starts charging and shows 16-17% for some time, but soon it stops and shows 15% again.

If the phone is switched off, the LED turns to amber and remains amber, but the battery seems not to be charging as the phone remains cool and it's the same 15% when switched back on in few hours.

It's original HTC charger and cable, but I did try other cables and PC USB ports to no avail.

Factory reset did not help.

Neither did booting to recovery with wiping all caches and battery statistics.

If I replace the new battery with the old one it shows 100%.

Android 2.3.7 installed by my son (I am no expert in this) in Nov 2012.

Kernel 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-g2a32ab1 android@portalite #31. I still have cm-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip on the SD card and used it for the recovery.

If it's of any importance, before buying the new battery I tried using some apps (uninstalled now) that didn't help: Battery Calibration and Easy Battery Calibration.

I like my Desire, I fits all my needs and I am very reluctant to replace it.

Will be grateful for any ideas and advices.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you deserve credit for researching your problem thoroughly :).

to be honest, just sounds like a fake/counterfeit battery. it doesn't look like a reputable brand to me.

you've tried calibrating the original battery and still get early shutdowns?

i take it you still need a new one, personally i would recommend official battery if you can find it, you get what you pay for.

Did you try to wipe battery stats through cwm? Battery calibration should do this but you can try manual also through cwm?

If nothing helps try new battery. Maybe new one is fake.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumbler:
It was mentioned somewhere as a good brand. And what's the point in faking/counterfeiting some unreputable brand? This was exactly my thought that a 'genuine' battery is far more likely to be fake.

TBH, I have no idea how to calibrate it. I just ran the above apps (one, later another) and they said that it was calibrated, but nothing changed.

"if you can find it" - absolutely. Any recomendations?

Also, my battery is BB99100, but often I see BA S410 for Desire that looks similarly. What's the difference?

What's 'cwm'?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
no, i've never replaced my original battery after nearly 3 years now probably should, so can't give any recommendations as to where to buy one.

it's a minefield, but be thankful that it's relatively easy to buy a replacement, unlike some new high end phones.

calibration should only be done with proper apps, this is the only one i know of that works, you have to find and follow the instructions carefully, though i've never done it myself. my battery still dies anywhere in between 15% and to 6%, which i can live with and just gotten used to. however if yours is dying at 40-50% it's likely that it's aged beyond its working life.

cwm is short for clockworkmod, he is suggesting you wipe battery stats there, but this myth has been debunked for a while that it does not calibrate the battery in any way.
