[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaizneight:
Hi there, I have been using Galaxy s2 for 2 years now, and so far i have no problem, but recently a problem comes. It is involving my external SD (this may have been posted, so I apologize should this already been posted).

I was using Biftor ROM 8.2 (4.1.2) until then I upgrade to Biftor Rom 9.0, and when I wanted to access the External SD via My Files, it hang, and the program force-quit by itself, but in Gallery, I can open the files from my External SD such as music, video, pictures, etc2. I also tried unmounting and remounting, but..same result..I cannot browse it through My Files. I have tried using other File Explorer, like ES File Explorer, but it got same result as My Files. I also tried different ROM, like NeatROM, but I got same result also...So i have to reflash official 4.0.3 (is the one I have atm). I tried the 4.0.3, but this time, it can access my external SD via My Files...any solution to solve the external SD issue, since I want to upgrade to 4.1.2 rooted ROM? Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Does ur PC recognises the ext-sdcard, if so then connect phone to PC under USB mass storage mode and run 'Checkdisk' to see for any errors on the same.

If u find any then, BKp the data on it and do a format (fat32) and restore the data and then see if the File managers on the phone can read it :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaizneight:
Yes, it does recognize in PC and also in USB storage. I did error checking but no error found. so i presume i have to BKed and then format it?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliasretro:
As the camera lens front glass seems to rest on the surface when you lay your note on a flat surface i bought a ringke slim case to protect it. Really disliked the case, slippery and made it bulkier.. and bought a samsung original flipcase instead, i like it a lot but my concern is if anyone have had problems with scratched camera lens front glass as the flipcase back is similar to the original backplate?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurva.giri:
Nop buddy. Your camera is safe..

If you see the camera lens, its engraved insyd the cover, so a surface wont scratch it. Make sure no sharp object touches the lens, thats all.

I've been using Samsung flipcase for quite some time now.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliasretro:
Thanks, yes you're right..my concern was probably based on that i've seen so many posts about owners of note II mentioning camera protection when they buy a case for it..

B.T.W love the flip cover when taking photos, half open it helps getting stable shots with a lot less shake, I get a better grip around the phone and half open the flip doesn't block the camera lens at all..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightbme:
I replaced my GS2 casing because of a scratch on the lens. I thought that I scored a good deal on it, but I noticed that it got lots of fine scratches very easily, resulting in a loss of sharpness.

Lesson learnt for me to only use original parts if it ever happens to my GN2.

I have a flip case, but it doesn't offer any shock protection. I'd love a flipcase that does.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikieme:
Hello All,

I downloaded the new airkernel and paranoid android 3.60 build for my nexus 4. My question is how do I change the governors from PA through settings. I remember i was able to change the kernel settings from the main settings menu but now I don't see anything like that.

Also I was using an HTC phone with different paranoid android version which had something like performance tab in the settings. Is there a way to change the governors of the air kernel in nexus 4 and if yes then how ?

Thanks,

Nick

Anyone else find a very very small sticker covering their camera? It was still there after completely removing (I thought!) all the little sticker/protective covers on the rest of the phone.

Just found it, having a hell of a time getting it off but it's definitely there! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 06ms6:
Yeah, I took it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
There's a thread about this already.

Sorry, I searched the forums a handful of different ways and didn't find anything about this.

My bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toxicpaulution:
Yeah if you look around the bumper there is some there as well. Its to protect from incidentally scratching off surfaces. Older slide phones came with them on the back of the slider as well. Even the charger block came with one I believe lol. But yeah it shouldn't be too hard to take off.

Store, protect, and share amazing things.​

My dropbox is almost full, cause with that 5GB you can't really store many files. I heard about copy.com, and I think it's a bit more secure (the creators are security experts) and you get 15 GB free space + 5GB with each referral. So I thought maybe you guys want to try it...

If you click on the link below, you can sign up and we will both receive 5GB extra storage. Very nice, isn't it?

(You get your 5GB bonus only if you install one of the clients/apps. APP)

TRY IT!

[Android Apps and Games] bitcasual:
I got 108 gigabyte for free on my dropbox, so i don't really need another service.

How many referrals have you got so far from xda?
[Android Apps and Games] DaNi_!:
Yeah, but that's only for one year/two years isn't it? Got one so far.
[Android Apps and Games] MidnightDevil:
I started using that service and I got so far around 35gb (three referrals through my signature, thanks guys!). I'm a little suspicious when it comes to clouding private data in new services, I mean, did anyone use it? How do you know it is trustworthy ?

Other then that, I really need to read the T&Cs and stuff! If it's limited it's not really that cool.
[Android Apps and Games] DaNi_!:
Yeah that's always the case. You never know it's fully secure, but from what I heard, I find it more trustworthy "looking" than other services. But indeed, you never know.
[Android Apps and Games] GOF007:
Can we just create VM (to install app) and then self-invite for unlimited space?
[Android Apps and Games] DaNi_!:
Yeah, but you're gonna need much time for creating all those accounts. And it's better if other people can enjoy free space too.

EDIT: I thought I read they created some sort of protection, so that people were not going to create fake accounts etc.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cgardnervt:
For anyone who may use this program can you answer a quick question for me? Can I control what apps are allowed to use data? For example I have a game like Dice with Buddies. I can not turn off or control when it looks for updates/new games. I'd like it to only search when I open the app. Could juice defender allow me to stop that without disabling the app? Maybe stick it on a 8 hour timer or something like that? Just wondering

With juice defender you'll be able to control synching times and add apps to a whitelist.

Hi.

Does the QTEK have a way to have differentiated ringtones for each person (group)?

How?

Thanks in advance,

Joao Caldeira
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] M4io:
caller id 1.20 should be standard on a blue angel
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Joao_Caldeira:
Without additional software (like pic&ring, etc) how can this be done?

Thanks in advance,

Joao Caldeira
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] M4io:
On the assumptions that you have Caller Id 1.20 installed:

Start/programs/Photo contacts

or Contacts/Tools/Photo Contacts

or Contacts/Tap & hold any name/Photo contacts
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Joao_Caldeira:
Hi.

But that just adds a photo, right? doesn't assign a different ringtone!

I searched the web for "Caller Id 1.20" and I didn't found anything.

Is this a third party software, a characteristic, a standard...???

When I receive a call, if I assign a photo in "Photo Contacts" I see the caller's photo.

Thanks again,

Joao Caldeira

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] chiark:
For what it's worth, my XDA 2s came with 1.17. This does not support the ringtone customisation :(

I've installed version 1.2 and it all works well

(see the link - you need to remove the registry settings as well as the link in \windows\startup before you can delete the last of the IA* files in \Windows as instructed)

Am I using an outdated ROM image? I only got the device last Friday!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] M4io:
@chiark : the first thing todo is to replace the caller-id cab in the extended rom with the 1.20. So on on the next had reset, you don't have to uninstall/install again.

I don't know about how outdated the rom on your machine is. it might be that just the extended rom is older.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Joao_Caldeira:

I didn't know that this soft is called Caller Id.

^Working perfectly now :)

Sorry but i lost a few important contacts and i need to get them back.. so i have an AT&T Galaxy s3 that im using with a Canadian Network (Fido) and what i did was flash Snergy rom and all my contacts that were saved on my sim and on my gmail were there until i decided to flash Hyperdrive i only had about half of my contacts :( i think it has something to do with the fact that snergy is a stock based rom and it used my contacts that were originally saved from my phone when it wasnt rooted or had a rom on it. The thing is i forgot which setting i put when i installed snergy rom and when i flashed it again i still didnt get my contacts back..

If any one has experienced anything like this or can help me out in retrieving contacts from my phone please help..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
If they were saved in your Gmail, simply sign into Gmail and sync your contacts.

they were saved either on my phones internal storage or my sim because i already tried that

Flash an nandroid you know has them. Change each contacts' option to save to your Google account, and sync with Google.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tahlsr:
As far as I know only TW Roms support the dock audio. It's listed in the CM 10.1 ROM as a known issue and I don't think any other ROMS have a fix. I'm actually on a TW rom because of this issue. I'd love for someone else to tell us otherwise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alamo76:
TW, as in TWRP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tahlsr:
TW as in TouchWIZ i.e. a ROM based off of Samsungs stock ROM. In other words, my impression is none of the 'Original Development' roms have dock audio working. All of the roms in 'Android Development' if based off of the GB27 release, would have that functionality working just fine.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LKNim:
I had forgot what I've done and led into current situation

Below is my situation:

All of my current sdcard important stuff are in /sdcard/

I've flashed PAC rom(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2208249), with the recovery mode come with it, it's likely mounting /sdcard/0 as /sdcard, so all my stuff are hidden and I can't export them

If I flash CWM recovery(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167381) on top of it, my files are back, I can see them in recovery mode but I can't boot into the system, bootloop and blankscreen keep appearing no matter factory reset or not, it's not booting the rom. And I can't mount sdcard to read from my computer.

In conclusion, I've tried different version of recovery mode in XDA, including that dual recovery, all of them ran into 2 ways

1. My files are shown in recovery mode, I can't extract them in recovery mode, rom isn't going to be boot

2. Rom is booting as normal, all files are disappeared

Hope anyone could understand my bad English and give me solution, sorry if I'm impolite

What should I do to get back my files in sdcard?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LKNim:
Got it solved, flash back to stock .307 and backing up now

[Nexus S General] thranduil93:
Hi everyone, as a mod-addicted user i like to flash all kind of roms, even the strangest ones. recently i fuond that our Nexus S is going to die, cause of old hardware and new softwares require lot more RAM and GPUs. I'm currently using a 4.2.2 ROM, and i'm having a very good time, but don't you think that on old GB roms everything was more smooth and fast, with the best performances and apps were faster than now? I know that is because all was old, and NS was developed under that artictecture, but i have a question to you: why do we all want the newest rom, with the newest things that use a lot of battery/ram/gpu, instead of keeping GB roms that were a lot smoother and fast? GB roms are as secure as JB ones, and a lot of apps run well on both OS.

This post is not a critic, and i'm sorry for the mistakes, i'm not english.
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
its an old system, it looks outdated and browsing experience and overal smoothness is much worse than JB...simple as that. GB has better memory management yes, sometimes my phone struggles with lack of ram on JB, but its still worth over GB for the reasons i stated i think...
[Nexus S General] daniel98:
Well, i personally like CM7 more than CM10 because it feels to me much more customizable than CM10. The themes look way better (especially Cyanbread) and it is also faster. To conclude, i prefer GB over JB.
[Nexus S General] dark'em:
Agreed CM7 was a true upgrade over stock...the ustom lookscreens are just a example but now it seames that CM only has powerwidgets over the stock and a fiew tweaks nothing else, it's to bad really but we kinda have to live with it, thank God we have the best and most balanced single core in the Android world!
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
Just try a good 4.2.2 rom and you will see the difference...try slim bean build 6 or jellyshot latest build
[Nexus S General] dark'em:
they are really good, but for me the ui sounds and incall sounds are always to low in 4.2 roms, they are considerably louder in roms up to and including 4.1.2, for me CM10, or hellyBean 4.1, or bb6 are enough, i miss the quick toogles and thats abou it, wel maybe the lookscren bold writing
[Nexus S General] thranduil93:
It can be old as you want, but a lot of smartphones are now using it. I prefer JB for the examples you gave, but we are talking about android: you can customize all you want, and gb can become JB with some graphical hacks
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
its not the same...there are some really good mods but involve changing systemui and other stuff and sometimes create more problems. Anyway, there are no mods for gb to have JB smoothness. A good solution for JB when it comes to lack of RAM is to use a high bigmem kernel and greenify. Its awesome, does not let apps that you dont need start up unless you manually start them(leaving free ram to apps that matter).

I really see no advantadge in going back to GB imo...You just have to know how to tweak JB to get the most of it.

yeah a lot of devices are using GB, but i bet most of them are not by choice of the user
[Nexus S General] philosopherssage:
2.3.x Roms still very good, and loved many of them. When moving to JB there are lots of under the hood changes and many optimizations which make things better. As well as many media improvements. Which allows better apps and better user experience, once I learned all the new features of 4.1 I just couldn't go back to 2.3. I have found that 4.2 Roms preform better than their 4.1 predecessors on my i9020T as well as the many UI improvements. Yes memory is an issue, but I turn on a 1GB swapfile when I'm using memory intensive apps then turn it off when done so I don't wear out storage and it helps greatly.
[Nexus S General] CN80:
In the last days of using my Nexus S i got rid of the sudden reboots which i had with all custom roms more or less and with the stock ICS and JB roms too. I think my Nexus was a weak build who barely matched the quality requirements. So i looked out for some older roms and found Oxygen 2.3.7 with great reputation.

Flashed that and: wow. I had a amazingly fast and stable cellphone again. No comparison to any ICS or JB build. I will never go back to a newer rom, as long as stability and quickness are asked.

My regards
[Nexus S General] thranduil93:
Personally, i find 4.1.2 roms very smoother than 4.2.x, and i tried maybe a lot of them. Except some widgets and UI improvements (little), i will continue using 4.1.2 roms with better battery life and the smoothest velocity

Hi,

Just thought I'd post my experience on when I dabbed my hand at overclocking my XDA II. As I understand it overclocking your device will either work very well or very badly, with experience varying from user to user.

My experience was bad as oc'ing led my device to hard reset, and since then randomly hardreset and crash with the added issue of not being able to take the battery out for a short time without loosing all my data.

On the other hand my mate oc's his device and it appears very stable.

*Shrugs*
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] collins199820:
In reality whats THE POINT? Burnin ur device to its limits just for a wee tiny bit of extra power? The XDA IIs maybe be faster than the XDA but it only shows on Video! for me anyways!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] z0mbi3:
As I understand it the IIs has the same specs as the II series but with more features.

My mate recently got a IIs as an insurance claim on his II and I noticed that 470 kb/s wmv appeared slightly jerky, possibly impaired frame rate, Where as the same video ran flawlessly on my device.

Maybe you mean speed in terms of the overall imporvements native with SE?

At the moment my device ( XDA II ) is running Windows Mobile 2003 SE and I've not looked back since installing it, as I'm experiencing over all improved speed having made the OS move.

I'm due for an upgrade in 2 weeks, can't decide if its worth getting the IIs or not....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
So today AT&T announced they will be releasing the phone on June 21st for $199.99, on contract (ostensibly $650 off-contract).

Guessing this means either Verizon is not getting the phone or won't get it for awhile...just like every good phone lately. Verizon needs to step up their hardware game if they want to maintain the numbers they have. Having great service is wonderful, but not having great devices to enjoy the service on is a bad mission plan.
