[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintryan:
Hi,

I am a slight issue with unrooting my phone back to the stock rom jellybean 4.1.2. I am unable to find the stock ROM for the Orange UK carrier? I can find it for france, romania, poland etc.. but there is no UK?

Can anyone assist me in finding this please?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Have u tried www.sammobile.com for now :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintryan:
yes

Yes I have and there are only 4.0.4 versions of the software.

I have also tried another popular firmware downloading site and still cannot find this and there are only versions for france, poland, romaina, spain and i think netherlands... no UK 4.1.2 anywhere to be found?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Has Orange UK released an update to 4.1.2 for now :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintryan:
not sure

Well they have released it for the other countries in europe since may... but the UK version is nowhere to be found?

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
if its not listed on sammobile then it might be an OTA update :)

currntly what rom/kernel ur phone is into:)

If its a custom rom then do flash the Stock ICS firmware for ORANGE UK and then see if u get an OTA update to JB4.1.2

Also u can check the link below :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintryan:
Well i currently have the rom for the Vodafone UK network. But that not longer works as I am with Orange. Yeah i checked out that link and that is what confuses me. Why would you release a 4.1.2 update for pretty much the whole on europe for the orange network but not the uk?

Currently download stock ICS to see if there is another update.

Very strange.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintryan:
UPDATE - Fixed

**Update - Solved**

Hi I just thought i'd come back to my original thread and post a solution to this problem.

If anyone get this issue then what I did was go to samsung-updates dot com and downloaded a stock rom called Region: XEU and with a version id of: I9100XWLSW.

Works a treat and will recognise the orange / Everything everywhere / t-mobile network.

Thanks

Guys, I'm wondering if we can save Zoe mode captured mini-clip as video?

By default it capture about 3sec of mini-video and we can choose which frame to save as picture file. Can we save the whole 3sec clip as video?

Can't find any options for this feature :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mettleh3d:
It does save as video. If you try out quickpic, youll see all your zoes expanded with a zoe.mp4 attached with them.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akimoto7811:
ahhh....i can see the .mp4 now :)

THANKS mett :) great help here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jediromftw:
So I wanted to flash the new jedi rom on my note2. I was running myrom. Through recovery I wiped the system and then I wiped cached. The usual. I have flashed many roms so I knew what I was doing.

So then I flashed the new jedi rom. And its wasnt working because this kept popping up without even letting me use the phone-> 'android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly'. And then I was like wth? I flashed back and recovered my previous rom and data and that rom worked just fine again.

So I did some reserch and I came across another forum that claims the fix is to flash SUPERWIPE. So I did so, then I flashed the jedirom again and it was working fine without any popups of any errors.

Then I noticed my wifi would not even turn on at all. I press the botton to turn on, and it says turning on, then it will go back to saying turn on, as if I never tried to turn it on at all. Please help guys as much as u can. Everything else works jist fine on my phone btw.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tornadobarrage:
Its happening to me too. Except for the whole other problems. It happens randomly, not only wifi stays "turning on" my bluetooth doesnt work. This gets fixed over time idky but its really REALLY annoying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaticaag:
Had that happen on my phone. Wifi and bluetooth wouldn't turn on. It would fix itself sometimes, but as soon as I leave a wifi area, it stops working even if I go to another wifi area. The only fix I know of is to do a warranty exchange. That's what I had to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jediromftw:
My bluetooth isnt working as well! Wth x [ I need to fix this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] saseekutz:
It happened to me once before not to long ago and I returned it for an exchange. But a couple weeks ago I flashed a carbon nightly and the WiFi wouldn't toggle on again, flashed a different kernel and presto it was back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jediromftw:
Im not to knowledgeable with kernals in all honesty. Im very comfortable with pretty much anything else tbh. What kernal would you recommend for me? I guess ill try that, hopefully it would work for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Did you check the md5 to make sure you got a good download on the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jediromftw:
Actually I ddnt v.v well anyways I did a recovery of the previous rom I was using- and that rom worked fine (wifi, bluetooth and all)

So im back on it and my wifi and bluetooth still does not work. Pkease helppp :(

..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] saseekutz:
I used the xone kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jediromftw:
So after the kernal flash the wifi and bluetooth fixed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] saseekutz:
It might work, did the trick for me. If not I'd try a fresh install again or warranty exchange
[General Topics] pachadwick:
Hello,

I'm looking for an application that answers calls after 3 rings, plays my invite and then records caller's messages as date stamped sound file.

Its a useful feature you might have experienced on some Motorola's, Nokia's, Sagems & Samsungs cell phone handsets.

It lets busy people screen calls and keep an action/todo list. It's a fairly simple requirement and similar in function to most of the DECT phones people have at home.

Do you know of a WM2003 software application that does this? thanks :)
[General Topics] afs84:
you know that would be really useful, especially if binded to a profile like in PZP or something...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Devin-J:
hey guys i thought my xperia p was hard-bricked,

but i realised that it is soft-brick because

after about 3-4 days of discharging the battery,

now my phone shows a red led light when plugged in.

that is the low-battery level charging,

but once it gets to the kernel level,

the device just doesnt respond,

and the led wont light up until i let it discharge again

then i can see the low-battery level charging red led.

my problem is that i messed up the partitioning of my phone.

i guess that is why it doesnt boot up (even to the kernel level).

what can i do to fix my phone? i tried flashmode and fastboot mode,

but it doesnt seem to work on my current win8 laptop (it never worked on this laptop),

maybe it'll work on my win7 laptop (last time it worked, thats how i unlocked bootloader, installed all the kernels and custom roms).

i dont have access to my win 7 laptop yet.

but in my win8 laptop, when i attempt both flashmode and fastboot,

it goes to the low-level charging mode. do you guys think flashmode/fastboot will work in my win7 laptop?

because last time, it would have definetly worked.

but now i am not so confident because it only responds when it is in the low-level battery mode (red led).

after it gets enough charge to boot to the kernel level, it doesnt respond.

and i doubt it is possible to flash/fastboot while in low-battery level charging mode.

i heard flasmode/fastboot have a minimum battery percentage requirment.

even if it fastboot/flashmode works on my win7 laptop, i am not sure of what to flash/fastboot.

currently my partitions are messed up, so will flashing/fastbooting anything reset my partitons? please help.

and from what i said, can u guys determine if it is soft-brick or hard-brick?

i believe its soft-brick, not sure.

any advice or suggestions on what to do will be greately appreciated! :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sonyfan45:
I thing this was a soft brick and hope It will be a soft brick..

Sorry I'm not clear about this I ll tell what I know..

Try to charge your mobile if red light shows make it charge for minimum half and hour..

Try installing fastboot and flashmood driver's on your win8 lap and then connet your mobile via flash mode then flash any of your FTF...:thumbup:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cahiatt:
Not sure if this is a Android 4.2.2 issue or a Samsung issue. I setup the standard email app on the phone with my work exchange email account. Calendar, tasks and everything works well. The problem I've noticed with the email is that it really only sync's the "inbox". I have a lot of subfolders that does not get sync'd unless I do it manually. I can't see to figure out how to sync everything and/or show all new messages.

The email on my old HTC EVO 4G LTE would show new messages in a single "aggregate" folder and that was using the standard Android email client. I have a license for Touchdown but like the built in Android calendar app better and would prefer to use it if I could.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jbryan817:
Click on your email and go to settings.... Then click whatever email your trying to adjust... From there click more settings and then folder sync settings.... Then click on each folder and you can change how often they update....

Your welcome

Sent from my galaxy s4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cahiatt:
That doesn't do what I need it to. I still have to go to each folder to check for messages individually. Seems the email client on the last version of Android would let you "view all" in a single aggregate folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MiamiMike:
Same Problem

This is a unique post because the mail version from the HTC EVO 3D did a nice job of not only putting everything in that combined folder, but also made it simple to check all the folders you want to check. Very frustrating issue.

I was wondering if we could install that maill app on this phone, but I can't even find the apk.

the other issue is that was under ICS vs Jelly Bean.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ChristopherXDA:
Has anyone come up with a good alternative or work around for this issue? I would love to have a combined email view for all or selected email subfolders. The HTC One did this very well. I haven't found a mail app that does this either though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] guji-dude:
Yes, id like to know if anyone found a solution too!!

My exchange account has sub folders within the inbox folder, but email client on S4 will only show me inbox folder emails. Have to go into each individual sub folder to check their messages, which is a pain considering i have a subfolder for all emails from my manager :o

I am missing snote. I really use it. I have tried other snote apps tried pushing flashing ..no luck. Please help.

Hope I posted in the correct forum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
Copy the apk file for the SNote from the stock rom and install it in yours, or flash a ROM like ultimate Jellybean and you'll get SNote with the ROM.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
Mate copy the SNote app (.apk file) from the stock ROM to the bare bean ROM in /system/apps ans set the permission to rw-r-r and it will be there in the ROM as a system app. This only if the ROM you're using is a touchwiz ROM. Follow this and it surely will be in the apps. Click thanks if i helped.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PapaBojangles:
Pardon my noobness, but I thought that I could post my findings of installing slimbean 4.2.2 build 6 on my sgh-i747m on bell...

First of all, this ROM is amazing. It's fast and simple and definitely much better than the stock Samsung ROM.

Here are some issues that I've found with it:

1. After installation, I encountered the activation screen... the left/right trick worked to get passed this

2. I couldn't make a call or receive calls, or switch from NV to RUIM/SIM, until I enabled and disabled airplane mode

3. I was unable to access corporate wifi for a while and had to retry 12 times. Something about authentication failed - even though username and password were correct.

4. No video media playback. I first downloaded the VLC app but that was annoying because of all the Google Ad interruptions. Then I tried out the Android Media Player App and that worked well, however I did need to adjust the brightness and the locking o the screen doesn't function the same way as when you press the lock button during a video playback with a stock ROM.

5. After finishing a phone call there's an alert that said that the com.xxx.phone process has stopped.

6. I also ran into a weird multitasking problem when running an app and receiving a phone call. The alert message mentioned in (5) kept on appearing if I was running an app or playing a game and receiving a phone call. I also wasn't able to answer the call. I'd have to wait until the phone stopped ringing, then quit the app. Then call the person back. That was definitely annoying.

7. Using the camera was great and it would be nice if you could be able to on the flash while taking a video in low light conditions.

In the end, using slimbean was an awesome experience as I liked the simplicity of the UI and nova launcher. Customization was full of options to play with.

I've reverted back to the original stock ROM for the time being and I wait for the next release of a more stable build of slimbean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
as far as issue 5, that might be solved on a full wipe and re-install, or try fixing permissions
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
I suggest downloading a new copy and flash it after a full wipe.

Hi,

I would like to share you with this application.

It's called DisableService.

Not only did it solve my GPS Daemon problem but it has also improved my battery quite a bit! :cowboy:

Google Play Store link for DisableService: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en

Pair it with Wakelock Detector to analyze and maximize on what you can do with the application.

Google Play Store link for Wakelock Detector: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en

Credits to the developers!

Added some screenshots. Notice that I have low network signals.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Sidneymac:
Which services did you disable to some your gpsd problem and improve battery life ?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Silenus21:
Thanks for the app.

Would be nice if we could make a list of services that we can disable.

I have media server problems, anyone know what's the service name.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Simone:
Mine was GTalk.

Go to System Apps/Google Services Framework

Disable GTalk. That was my GPSd problem. I recommend using Wakelock Detector from Pkay Store first if that was not your problem.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Simone:
It will depend on your application usage. Basically I disabled everything safe running on my background.

What kind of Media Server problems? Can you elaborate? Screenshot if possible.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] vali_ics:
Why you didn't try greenify? The general wake locks are from google search/now, google maps.

I get no battery drain after this.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Simone:
I already have Greenify and Greenify Donate Version.

The problem is, it's located at the Google Services Framework and the GTalk wakelock is like Airdroid, even if you hibernate it won't.

I don't know if it's still an issue in Greenify now but I froze mine.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] FuTChY:
Thanks so much, the app is amazing , at least I can disable unwanted services like checking for updates and so on ...

but I have a question, does disabling gtalk service have any effect on push notifications like whatsapp or facebook notifications ?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Simone:
I'm sorry I cannot help you but I can tell you that I do disable Gtalk service and Whatsapp has no problem.

[LG Nitro HD] frankshi:
Hi All:

I am experiencing tons of wakeups by com.android.phone regardless of 3G or LTE which drains my battery 6%+ per hour. However, if I have wifi, the drain drops to minimal. I turned off Fast Dormancy already, Any suggestion or fix?

Regards,

Frank
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Which stock ICS are you running? Do you have wind kernel installed? Download and run better battery stats to see what wake locks you have. In regards to Fast Dormancy disabling it will either give you better or worse battery life. What is it? Its a tech used by the phone company to save battery power by putting the phone's radio in a low power state yet never relinquishing the data connection, so when you wake up your phone it doesn't have to spend the 3-5 sec reestablishing the data connection. The phone's software works hand in hand with this, however if your phone co in your area doesn't support it the phone's software will never let it sleep, therefore disabling fast dormancy will improve battery life. However if you have it disabled and your area supports it your data connection will never be released and therefore your phone's radio will never be shut off using battery. On top of that this is only a function of an HSPA/3G coverage area. With 2g (edge) or LTE its meaningless. Two more suggestions:

1. Power off the phone and remove the battery for 30 sec - 1 min. Then reassemble and power back on. For some reason this will fix the deep sleep suspend wake lock.

2. If you are rooted and have cwm installed, boot your phone into recovery. Create a backup. Reformat the system and data partitions. Reinstall your ROM, then go to restore/backup and select advanced restore. Select data then the backup just done. After complete reboot.

Good luck.
[LG Nitro HD] frankshi:
Thanks for the response. From BBS, the main wakelock is alarm com.android.phone, over 700 in an hour. I am using Vodafone V20c with Wind 3.4. Will try the battery removal and reformat trick.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Any improvement?
[LG Nitro HD] frankshi:
Unfortunately No. Battery still drains 7%+ per hour on mobile network. On wifi, it's 1%. I have turn on Fast Dormancy just for the sake of it. Maybe need to move to CM 10.1. However, I play games on the phone sometimes and enjoy the snappy response of ICS.
[LG Nitro HD] Nightpath:
I've been having problems with battery drain, from 6-7% an hour to more than 15% with the latest CM RC.

Changed over to Pac Rom, seems to be a lot better for battery power so far but a bit laggy.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
A couple more things to try:

Wind kernel 3.6

Disable syncing.

Make sure you are not using LG supplied weather app widget bad power hog.

If disabling Sync works but you still need to get things like email notifications try using DS battery saver from the play store.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Using LiquidNitro v2.0 (battery needs recalibrating, see the blip at the top)
[LG Nitro HD] frankshi:
I will try Wind 3.6 and had tried Juice Defender and DS Battery Saver, but with 4G, the phone cannot go into deep sleep. It keeps searching for network, hence the wakelocks. I doubt Wind 3.6 can resolve the issue. Anyway I can use a different com.android.phone?
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Try this:

Settings

Wireless & Network: Select MORE

Select MOBILE NETWORK

Select NETWORK MODE

Select GSM/WCDMA Auto

This will turn LTE off and should fix you issue, in most instances HSPA+ (4G on AT&T) download speeds are just as fast as LTE without the power issues.
[LG Nitro HD] frankshi:
I am having screen frozen issues with Wind 3.6, so have to revert back to 3.4 The disabling of LTE does not help the com.android.phone wakelocks. To summarize, my P936 cannot go into deep sleep while on Mobile Data regardless of LTE or 3G. I turned off sync and wechat app, but leave gmail and whatsapp in the background. Any more suggestion?
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
In the past I had issues with the whatsapp creating wake locks. Now this goes back to last year but I stopped using that app because of those issues. Try freezing it and reboot. Also when is the last time you calibrated your battery? Just in case you don't know: charge to 100%, while still plugged in reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats, then reboot your phone and unplug. Keep your phone off the charger till the battery goes dead and the phone powers down on its own. Then charge to 100% with the phone off. Also I think I asked this before which version of v20 are you running?
[LG Nitro HD] frankshi:
Will try recalibrate the battery. I am on V20c Vodafone.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Let me know in a few days how that goes.
