[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psm321:
Just wondering what, if any, known hardware issues are that I should check my new Note II for when it shows up. I mean along the lines of how the MT4G had bad screen types, bad eMMC, FFC alignment, etc. (Family plan in case you're wondering why I've posted about multiple phones)

Thanks!

My XDA II has the following Device Information:

Rom Ver: 1.66.00WWE

Rom Date: 02/20/04

Radio Ver: 1.10.00

Protocol ver: 1337.18

ExtRom ver: 1.66.181

can someone tell me what does the WWE mean?

I had a look at the o2.o.uk site and their latest rom (v1.60.50) seems to be older that my current one Can i get a newer/updated ROM that will work on my XDA II?

THanks

I see tons of views/replies for MK809 compare to MK808. However, I see Finless ROM (please correct me if I am wrong) is created for MK808, although is compatble with MK809. Which one is actually more supported by the development commnunities?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lavero.burgos:
Mk808 no doubt

Hi Team,

Last night my phone battery level was at 10% and i plugged it into the wall charger. it was working (am sure abt that) and i checked few mail, FB etc and went to sleep.

today morning, i when i checked the phone, it was shwoing the boot screen where its showing GT-1900 (in white font) and when i pressed the home button, it went away.

then, i tried to boot my phone, but it was not booting...i kept in the charger for another 2 hours, nothing worked. i placed a new battery, still the phone didnt come up...i kept the phone for 5-6 hours idle by removing battery, sim, sd card and tried again , no joy.

i tried the three button combination to get it into the download mode or recovery mode, that also not working....

but when charging, the phone is hot as normal...

any idea what could be the case?...anyway i ordered a USB jig from ebay....

my phone is JB and its international version...not rooted, no custom ROMs etc..

any help is much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Strange!

Let's what a Jig can do then..

Does it heat up around the camera when charging?

You're gonna need some help for this, so go get a friend, gf, parent, brother, sister or whoever.

Take the battery out, press the download combo, tell your helper to insert the battery back. See if you can get to DL mode.

At least you'll get something to try till the jig arrives.

Now that's really strange....I've never heard about anything like this.Do you have your warranty?Because if it's stock,they will repair it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilingcruel:
Yes, its hot near the camera area....am expecting my jig to arrive sometime tomorrow.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilingcruel:
No, i am out of warranty..... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
Then you'll have to wait for your jig to arrive.If that doesn't work either,then you will have to try a JTAG.

Oh no..dont say that...SGS2 is my life...it was difficult for me to buy that phone back in 2011, i saved every month like 3-4 months to buy that... :(

anyway, i am hoping that jig will save my sweetie....(also am praying to god also)....hope for the best.....

also i saved few bucks for buying a S4 also and one mobile shop agreed to take it for $120 ... is that a fair enough price for my SGS2???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
I'd pay up to $200 and I'd never sell it.

So I guess you could fight $150.

First off, get it to work again, otherwise you would be selling a donor phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No recovery

No download

No battery indication when plugged in......

From what I've read in other parts of this forum, I'm sorry to say that it appears that your phone is about as dead as it's possible to get..... :(

What country do you live in?....

In the EU, we get a 2 year warranty from Samsung....I'd explore that route first.....

If you don't get anywhere that way, then the last three options are.....

1) JTAG

2) Replace parts with a donor phone

3) Buy a new phone

Option one....probably won't work

Option two....feasible....if you're confident with that sort of work....and a damn site cheaper than option three.........

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironmanxda:
Yes I believe that's the problem of the new update. I updated my galaxy s2 to official jelly bean, I was having tons of problems. When I connected the charger for charging, it was actually discharging and the phone would get heated up very much. The reason being is when I bought the phone I had 2.3.4 then updated to 2.3.6 then 4 then 4.1. In official updates we don't clear caches which may lead to such problems. That's when I decided to root my phone. I am using custom rom now.

I recommend you to take your phone to samsung care rather than doing anything on your own. If you're not on warranty they will charge you few bucks for the repair. More importantly you will get to know about the problem. If the problem is with the hardware, you can't do anything by yourself, that's why I recommend you to go to samsung care. When you get it repaired, root it and have your custom rom installed. You won't regret. Hope I was helpful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
There's nothing wrong with upgrading to JB, if you look closely you'll see that we (people who know at least a little of how our device works) never experience any of all these issues users keep posting.

They'd always keep some info to themselves and that info is always a f*#k up.

I am pretty sure some other people will have different type of playing in the bathtub with this phone. Could be there dreams too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cpufrost:
Liquipel is a gimmick when used on cell phones. It's borderline being a scam actually.

The technology is impressive and it has merits but these demos of cell phones being dunked are very deceiving, let me explain why...

First off a little history with other gimmicks. Long time ago probably before many around here were kicking they used to demo these "amazing" knives under differing brands (Ginsu probably the most familiar). They would do crazy things with them at the displays in malls, fairs, etc. One was cutting deep grooves in the head of a hammer. People would reach for their wallet in droves to buy after seeing that. I mean a knife that could cut through a hammer? Problem is no one ever really scrutinized and realized the "hammer" had a head made of lead. Lead is very soft and any iron or ss blade will cut it with little dulling compared to say trying that on an Estwing. BTW if you did try this with a real hammer (I did!) you'd find your blade about as ruined as if you took a chainsaw to a steel door.

So what does this have to do with Liquipel and their demos? Simple. They never tell you what the "water" they use really is. I'm willing to bet it's distilled water with a very low conductivity. Others that have this treatment done to their devices are reporting their device stops working after a day or two! Of course, you're using tap water which has far more minerals and therefore much higher conductivity.

It gets even worse! The average spill (beer, soda pop, fruit juice, etc.) not only is much more conductive but can be acidic, leave sticky residues which are often highly hygroscopic (which means they will absorb moisture from the air when it gets humid, becoming active again), and this is just bad to have in your phone!

Toilet swims? Don't even ask!

Saltwater which a device would encounter if offshore fishing or beach going would probably be the worst thing ever that could happen to your phone.

Liquipel can keep the fluid from wetting your treated parts but it cannot keep it OUT of the chassis/enclosure. That's where this is flawed. Once you have fluid penetration (no sick jokes, please!) your device is contaminated and will never be the same. If you want a waterproof or water resistant device you must keep the water out, PERIOD! This requires a completely different strategy starting with the chassis and any physical interface that must connect from the outside to in. Real solutions are never pretty or compact. If you eliminated the headphone jack and USB port relying on wireless charging and bt/wifi for sound, etc. it would be possible. The buttons would be gasketed like waterproof wristwatches, for example. The speaker and mic would be a challenge depending on the water (depth) rating. A meter rating would be no real issue but 100 meters would!

Finally, getting your device treated gives you a false sense of security! There is nothing worse than believing you're OK when in fact you won't be as careful and allowing your device to get dunked!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kreoXDA:
thanks, this is informative (ran out of thanks for today, so posting this:)

Regarding Active - it will have a smaller screen, and is only water resistant - highlighting this as I believe many people think it is also shock/impact proof.

Seidio is developing their Obex for SGS4, I will check it out once it is released, gives water and impact resistance.

http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-obex-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hwssgs4-bk.htm

Although it is a niche product, adds too much bulk, and worsens the mic and speaker quality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cpufrost:
It's always about compromise. TBH if you're the active type that wants to keep your phone working the easiest way is to put it in the equivalent of a storm case. Otter makes one that's in the ATT stores. TBH that's the only way I would carry my phone to the beach. Sand gets into everything and wrecks it - fast!

I have actually seen folks at the beach using a macbook!

Don't worry, it won't be long before connectivity will be a part of life, thought reading, embedded devices, and anti tinfoil hat tech! :laugh:

So I was unfortunate that I missed out on the free unlock on 4.1.1 and was unable to unlock my phone. I contacted T-Mobile and they said that I need to wait 18 months before I am able to get an unlock code. :(... Is there any other way to unlock my phone? Don't plan on rooting my phone. I am traveling internationally in a month or so.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neysito:
Easy as pie, downgrade to the stock 4.1.1 rom with Odin, unlock it, upgrade to the latest stock for your phone again with Odin, set up all your apps and settings again, profit. I would test a different sim card before upgrading again to make sure the sim unlock works, if it does it will be permanent, providing you did it the right way.

T-Mobile Unlock Code Will Not Work!

I called T-Mobile to get an unlock code for my T-Mobile T999 phone. It will not work. They said try another sim from another provider. Got a sim from AT&T and tried again. No luck. I paid three different unlock companies and neither of them was able to give me a code to unlock my phone. I have tried 4 times to unlock. I heard if you try too many times, phone will lock permanently. Is that true? I also tried the unlock routine I found in a previous post but unfortunately, in the last step, option four is missing.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guest_2011:
I have two prepaid accounts with tmob. Both had over $100 airtime at some point in the past. One now has $0.03, the other is $107. I requested for one acct, denied, reps resubmitted 4 times, assured i'm eligible for the code. I bought the phone at walmart and used my existing active sims. In the past i had no problems getting sim unlock codes. Now tmob wants me to buy $100 airtime at the time i first bought the phone. I then tried the other acct. Rep checked immediately i would not be eligible for the same reason, even though i have $107 airtime. I immediately closed one account.

Fk tmobile. I'm done with this company. No reason to buy their phones. I paid for the phone. Its mine now. The manufacturer supplies the code, tmob controls if/when i should get it. After i use up the airtime i'm closing the account and going with better rate providers.

Hi All,

I had an issue with my phone giving a black screen when accessing the camera application till Saturday.

I tried the volume down+ power option, but to no avail. Reset the phone after backing up the data.

Still camera not working, it was blurry sometimes and sometimes the bottom icons worked to switch to the front which was working fine.

I was using the phone as it is till today as I was not able to give it to service center today and wanted to give it tomorrow but sometime back, the phone went into a pixellated screen and the phone wont give any video.

whenever I restart the phone, instead of the nokia logo, it gives a completely pixellated screen.

Not sure what to do. Looks like only option remaining is to take it to a Nokia Care center here in hyderabad.

Any suggestions???

Sounds like a hardware issue. Not something that could be fixed with a wipe or anything. Send it back, that is what a warranty is for. See if they can give you a loan phone while they have yours. Most providers will do that if you have a warranty.

Hi folks:

I don't need the little keyboard and I don't need Wi-Fi. But I do need the landscape rotation on the fly (Nyditot does not quite do it). Of course, the solution is a ROM cooked with SE as its base.

Can this be done?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
there is no such thing as people being able to cook with a basic windows ce version

all roms ever installed on our devices have been modified versions of roms released from htc

pocketpc is not like windows where you can install it on different pc's with different hardware

all drivers are hardcoded and all devices must be present and the same

thats the reason you cant install a xda2 rom on a xda1 or a ipaq rom on any of them

and people cant install xda3 on the rest of them

so unless they as in htc (o2 tmobile ...) release 2003SE to xda2 and xda1 then i dont see it happening
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jayman:
I have an XDAII ROM running perfectly on my XDAI

And have every intention of trying to upgrade it to SE when somone takes the ROM off the XDAIII and it shows up in a ROM kitchen.

Yes it may invalidate my warranty and some inbuilt utils are useless(WLAN / photo / bluetooth) on the XDA I - but overall it will be an upgrade to have landscape capability and other inclusions.

Just because it's not an official upgrade does not mean that the smart folks here won't find a way to make it work ( but at your own risk)!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
which version is that ?

1.60? 1.66? 1.72 ?
