I"m currently in Korea. And since it's global version which is unlocked, i put in the Korean sim card. But it's not working.

It does not catch the signal. I know if i want to use the data, i have to put the APN. But it doesn't even let me use the calls or message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alwayzbored1085:
Head into Settings > More settings > Mobile Networks and make sure that Network Mode is set to Global or GSM/UMTS. If its on LTE/CDMA it won't pick up any signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phk2878:
I already checked it.

Thanks, but I already checekd it. I had tried both in GSM and Global. But neither does work.. What can I do..?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] taifuller:
Are you running a custom ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Also did you add the APNs needed for Korea? My understanding was to even get calls you had to add the APNs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phk2878:
Okay...

I was running in custom Roms, but I updated my phone and by odin, i put it back in to stock rom.

So you guys are saying that i have to root it again and put the APNs first?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelinit:
Hey all!

Wanting to upgrade my firmware from ICS to Jelly Bean (as a definite noob, though having flashed firmwares before) I opened Odin and added what I considered the correct .tar file from Sammobile in the PDA field. In short, it failed and I thought I had a new brick*. Following Phistacio's guide to fixing an unflashable GSII I've now got my phone back (woohoo!!), but am stupid enough to want to give it another go!

My question really, is what could have gone wrong, and more largely, what are the variable errors that us noobs make when trying to flash? I'm using Odin, but it seems using a CWM (is this the correct term?!) might now be the chosen route to flashing?

I'm rooted, on an unlocked GSII, recently moved from O2 to Everything Everywhere (T-Mob), currently using an O2 issued ICS, stock kernel and tried flashing Jelly Bean from Sammobile.

So what's critical here? Is my carrier relevant? Is it not possible to go from some firmwares to others? Do I need a different kernel for some firmwares? Or is my mistake in thinking it's as straight forward as I'd like, when in fact all the above make a critical difference in which firmware I can flash, and therefore I should stop trying??!

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed!

*I think I was softbricked - could enter download mode but not recovery, flashing would hang on either "Nand write start!!" or Sbl.bin or Cache.img.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmaddy007:
my two cents

Hi joelinit,

First of all, should congratulate you on taking the first step of flashing the roms..:)

Second, good you got an issue while flashing. It helps you understand the intricacies better once you try to solve it yourself.

You need not worry about the brick. Try flashing back to stock rom available from sammobile using Odin(3.04). (United Kingdom (O2)	2013 March	4.1.2	PDA-I9100XWLSD	CSC-I9100O2ULS7). Yes carrier is important as Modem file differs based on which carrier you use.

This will fix the recovery and will get you on stock JellyBean.

CWM is clockworkmod recovery which provides options for flashing custom roms(CM10, SlimRom, NeatRom etc, there are so many).

Searching in sammobile for firmwares you will find different firmwares for different carriers. You can flash a UK firmware for some other country, but might have issues with call reception, 3G connectivity, etc. as the modem files are different.

It is possible to go from some firmwares to others.

Stock Roms come with Stock Kernels. When you flash a ROM, kernel will remain the same.

You need to change kernels if your phone is consuming too much battery, crashes etc. This normally happens after flashing custom roms as the kernel is not capable enough to handle the updates in the rom.

Dont stop trying, you will love your phone, once you start flashing the awesome roms,kernels found in xda. :D

Cheers,

Maddy

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Most of the above is good advice. ....apart from the kernel bit.......

All custom roms and firmwares come with their own optimised kernels. These kernels get flashed during the rom/firmware flash. You can choose to install a custom kernel after you have flashed your chosen rom/fw. Custom kernels offer more control over your OS. All custom kernels offer cwm or twrp (depending on the kernel) and will root an unrooted phone. Most need to be Odin flashed, but some (PhilZ) can be flashed via stock recovery........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelinit:
Hey guys! Thanks so much for the friendly replies - I thought I might have got abuse as a noob, possibly asking very repetitve questions!!

So then with my recovered GSII, I decided to give it another blast and, inevitably, it's bricked again! Seems to be the same bahaviour - though instead of hanging on either "Nand write start!!" or Sbl.bin or Cache.img., it's failing on them. And this time, I can't seem to fix it,following Phistacio's guide to fixing an unflashable GSII .

I also tried flashing that firmware you suggested (although as I mentioned, I'm now on T-Mobile, not O2? So also tried T-Mobile's Jelly Bean), though with no success.

To clarify, I've installed Kies, then closed down all Kies processes, started Odin and put the .tar file into the PDA field, left Re-Partition unchecked, with both Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checked, connected my phone and waited for Odin to recognise it, then pressed Start!

Can you suggest anything obvious that I've done wrong or suggest what I should do next? Thanks so much in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
4 things to try.....

Use the original usb cable. ..

Try different usb ports on your pc....

Disable any firewalls......

If you are running windows 7, open odin as an administrator. .....

Oh and a fifth suggestion.....

Try different odin versions...

Edit.....Don't ever flash/select pit

And don't select repartition......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
These steps are originally posted by MistahBungle. Follow all these steps, he knows what he's talking about.

*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.

*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.

*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.

*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)

*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)

*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.

*Turn off antivirus/antispyware/antimalware.

*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Either check the MD5 sum if you have it (use md5summer or similar), if you don't have the md5 sum or can't check it, programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.

*Run Windoze Update.

*And if all these steps fail, try a different PC. And if it won't work first go on a 2nd PC, go thru the above steps on that PC. Still doesn't work ? User error (will be almost impossible to say what given we're not there looking over your shoulder, almost always something very obvious being missed) or borked phone - return to service centre or local mobile shop.

I suspect many cases where people (say) they do all the above & still can't get it to work involve problems with the USB ports on the machines they're using. Something along the lines of the port is unable to maintain a constant connection between PC & phone; if that connection drops for even a millisecond (probably not even long enough to be registered as a broken connection by the PC in the normal way), you end up with a constantly failing flash at best and a bad flash which borks your phone at worst.

Obviously the only way I'd be able to test the theory would be to examine/test a bunch of PC's belonging to people who experience this issue, but I've given this issue a lot of thought over the past 18 mths & it's the best explanation I've got for those instances where people are being completely honest about having tried all the steps over & over and on multiple machines (a very very small % of people, most people either simply don't do every step over & over and say they do, or they forget they've forgotten they did A, B & C but not F) & still find they can't flash successfully (and it isn't a case of the phone being borked).

See how you go with that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelinit:
Thanks so much for all these useful replies - really was expecting to get fobbed off for my noob questions! What a nice community!

I'll try all the above and report back. I have successfully flashed on this computer before and did manage to restore the phone last time, though perhaps the cable is faulty and slightly intermittent? I'm using the USB port that's connected to the mother board too.

Thanks again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Quite possible. And impossible to diagnose unless you strip the cable (which is pointless given fixing a $10 cable is a waste of time/effort). Go thru the steps Hopper listed (with multiple PC's if necessary) & definitely try a new cable if you need to. Try to get an original Samsung one if you possibly can; for some reason switching to one magically solves this problem for some people when nothing else seems to work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelinit:
Thanks! Yeah the cable will be the first thing I'll try changing. It's odd that the flash seems to fail at the same point each time though, kind of implying that it's not an intermitted cable? Unless this particular cable is falling short at those particular functions or something?

Anyway, thanks again - I'm actually kinda enjoying learning about my phone, even though there's the fear it's now a brick!! Fingers crossed that's not the case though...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelinit:
Well how about that - change the USB cable, and flashes successfully first time round! What a fool! I did also remove the battery/sim for the night and left the sim out during the flash - wonder if that made any difference too?

Thanks so much for all your friendly and helpful replies - I think I'll be sticking around this forum and searching for some custom ROMs to try out!

Happy Wednesdays all...

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Mercury0660:
Hi,

today, I noticed the following:

I speak german in the video but, in principle, I say that I twist the tablet slightly and the touchscreen responds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRhGQvxi-dA

edit:

In a local store, I noticed the same on an WiFi version, I own the LTE Version.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] mattforchi:
As I did on android-hilfe.de I confirm here that I also have this problem but it is not as apparent as it is in your case.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
I experience it slightly too, don't see it as an issue though as it requires some severe force.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
My advice: Do not twist it. Tablets are not made to be twisted.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TellTenPeople:
The black 32GB Wifi version (North America) I received does exactly this and the backing is coming unstuck. Whether the screen flex would be as pronounce without that defect, I don't know but I'm very disappointed with Sony's quality assurance. It does make it feel flimsy.

I'm returning the tablet and am going to wait for the new wave of Tegra 4 tablets from other manufacturers.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Trno:
Most resistance against flexing is provided by sides so it will flex more then thicker devices , i think its obvious.

The touchscreen responsiveness shouldn't be happening but it requires quite a bit of force so in normal use its not an issue. I didn't even realise it exists up till now.

GL on your travels.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] yellowpants:
Luckily I dont have this on my tablet z.

My xperia z however does and it gets annoying every once in a while.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] cjdalessio:
This is a trade-off for the particularly thin build Sony pulled off here. My Archos does the same thing and is pushing on 3 years (granted, i don't use it much any more, but it got a lot of abuse in its day).

There are probably ways it could have been almost as light, almost as thin, and a whole lot stiffer - and possibly a good idea, too. But it is what it is. It's not a material defect, but a design decision - perhaps one not so good, but we won't likely know for a little bit...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] triplec76:
Guys, I am also getting the flex which is causing homescreen swipes and back button presses. I was using the Moko Slim Cover case from Amazon. The weight of the case while being held with only the right hand was causing MAJOR problems with unintentional screen presses/swipes. Now that I have removed the cover while I wait for a new one, it only happens once in a while.

I just ordered an Incipio Feather to see if the more rigid design will support the device and not allow it to twist. I only wish the Incipio Lexington had a wake/sleep magnet included.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] shangrila500:
You could probably cut the Moko open and observe the magnet placement and undo the Lexingtons stitches and place the magnets in it and redo the stitching. I am thinking about doing this myself because of the damn screen presses.

I wonder if putting it in the Feather and then in the Moko would stop the presses..... Time to order one!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] triplec76:
Yes, I have both the Feather and the Moko and they do work very well together. I do sometimes still get an unwanted screen swipe left or right, but it is very rare compared to when I first received the tablet and was using it bare.

I also just received the Poetic case which is more of an iPad type of case which I really like. However, Poetic covered up the charging port so you have to open the cover (The cover hinges at the bottom of the XTZ) to charge the XTZ unless you cut a portion of the cover away.

I really like this tablet, but the battery life is killing me. I would have rather Sony make the tablet twice as thick and put a >10,000mah battery inside. I'm looking heavily at a Nexus 10 at this point because it seems to have the best battery while still having a great screen, fast processor and 2GB memory. Initially the lack of an SD slot was a deal breaker, but I'm finding that Sony didn't allow a way to move apps to SD which basically makes my 64GB microSD sit empty since I purchased the tablet.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] MikeViller:
Very happy with this case Profile Grooves Stand Case for Sony Xperia Tablet Z 10.1 inch from ebay the tab is more stiff and the tab sleep when cover is close.

For the flex Sony can make and stiffer back cover.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hasenbein1966:
The Nexus 10 has even shorter battery time than the Tablet Z! Duh!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] triplec76:
I would be surprised if that were true. The Nexus 10 has nearly a 10,000 math battery.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hasenbein1966:
It is true. And known all over the internet. The Nexus 10 has a rather short battery life because of the energy-hungry components.

I have had my SX66 since Wednesday. Here are the issues I have found, and if anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!

1. Bluetooth is really bad. Scratchy, drop connections, says signal is low even when headset (Jabra 250) is right next to the unit. (I have the O2 3500 stack installed)

2. Bluetooth response time for headset answer button is SLOW, as is sending the data to the headset when a call comes in and is answered by headset.

3. When Bluetooth is ON, the phone will turn the display ON at random intervals, killing the battery if the backlight is left in the on mode.

4. WiFi is horrible, drops connections constantly, even in same room with router (Linksys w/5db antennas atached). Also, it will NOT work with a network unless the SSID s broadcast - so much for security!

5. The phone features are SO vastly different than regular phones, it makes you wonder if it is working. My unit will NOT echo the DTMF into the headset (which every phone I have ever owned did) to confirm pressing (for VM retirval, etc.). Very confusing.

6. Answer after x rings is a joke. I have it set to 2 rings, and it will never answer automatically headset or not...what's the point?

I hope someone out there can help, otherwise, I may have to put this baby on eBay...because it really sucks at this point!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] tommc4:
Update

:D Well, I downloaded the O2 update, and that seems to have made a difference in the STABILITY of the BT connection; the unit did not drop my headset at all during the day; further the "response" of the SX66 to a command from the headset seems faster.

:D Also, since I installed this update, I have NOT seen the screen turn on...perhaps this helped that problem...?

:evil: The BT is STILL scratchy/noisy, but not as bad...perhaps the next round will help...?

I will keep you posted!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dougvan:
I have/had the same issues you are describing. The bluetooth patch 3500-124 fixed almost all my BT issues except the extremely low signal. I tried the HS810, HS820 and the Jabra 250. All were horrible. I even went as far as installing the latest i-mate pda2k ROM 1.22.00 wwe on my sx66. I finally took the advice of a poster on another forum (thanks mswlogo) and purchased a sony hbh-300. So far it has been great. It handles the low signal like a champ and doesnt offer any static or popping.
