[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkb88:
First of all, the mentioned auction platform is very small and not quite comparable to eBay, maybe it was my fault to make the comparison to eBay. Its much smaller, only people from Switzerland and people much trustworthier than on eBay. I talked to the seller even before I commited my bid on the phone, and he told me he already bought another one and the place, where he first wanted to repair it, told him, it would be more than $200, which wasnt an option for him...

The phone was very cheap, only about $25 - due to the fact that the sellar put it in a wrong category (mobile accessoires but not mobile devices itself) so almost nobody beside me bidded for the auction. There are several other Galaxy S2s with broken displays for sale, which sell at least for $50-70, rather between $100-150.

So to put it straight: I just bid for the phone because its cheap and, if the display is replaced and the phone is fully working again, the potential selling price is much higher than what I payed for the phone and the display together.

Now, I was just wondering, if there is a possibility to tell, if the phone boots normally and to be sure that the display is the only faulty part...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
If you know what network it's on, and you can find a way to get it switched on, you can put a compatible sim card into it and call it....if the phone rings (provided the volume is set right) you can assume it's good.........

That is.....assuming there's charge in the battery.......

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Ok I see now.

All you need to do then is to relist the phone on that auction site you said....in the proper area/listing....and you could make a profit without risk.

You could put it in dl mode and see if it is ready to take a flash.Or see if someone could hook up a screen to test,or see if you can borrow one/get sale or return.

And people on here help with tech problems,not get rich quick schemes......LOL

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkb88:
Actually I could have bought the phone and relisted it in the proper category, you are right on that BUT I acually don't have any interest in making money with this phone, if it is fully working again, I probably will give it to my GF cause her crappy iFone will probalby be moving to the bin soon... You really probably missunderstood me in this case...

But thanks for you help! I'll see this evening if I can put it in download mode...

Thats also a good idea BUT afaik you need to enter a PIN code before the phone actually connects to the carrier/provider, isn't that correct?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Not necessarily......unless the phone has been set up that way post purchase.....as I said, you need to know what carrier the phone was with before, and simply go and get a sim card (pay as you go) for that carrier and put it in the phone....job done.

It's not necessary to enter a pin code here in the UK.....I don't know how the mobile operators operare with respect to that in Switzerland though......

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
How about if you cant "borrow' a screen,just buy one off eBay from a seller that takes it back with a small restocking fee.

Then hook it up(without fixing it permanently) and see if any problems me/keith mentioned.

Look near the end of this video in this thread.

Okay, i managed to connect the phone to my computer and it shows up in KIES! *yay*

Unfortunately, KIES shows: "The connected device is locked..."

But, as far as this looks like, the phone is working! Am I right on this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I dont know much about kies as I dont use it.Maybe its not an unbranded phone and youve put in a different sim its not used to.

Unless someone has a better idea,I think buying the screen under the conditions I said earlier is the way to go.It may only lose you £15 at the worst.

Check the online imei checket first though to see if it throws amything up.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkb88:
I haven't put in a SIM at all, as it is not neccesary to be able to use the phone.

I will buy a screen anyway, if I can't use it myself, I will give it to a frend who has also got a smashed S2.

Another question: Is it possible to hard reset the phone, without a working screen? Afaik you have to boot into recovery and select the reset from a menu, which is not really possible without having a working display... Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks, but with the phone being locked, i cannot do anything, also not install any apps...

How can I reset the phone without the screen? Or can someone tell me which buttons to press in recovery menu to do a wipe/reset?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
That in itself could cause you issues. You have to get the number of and order of presses exactly right otherwise you could end up formatting the system partition (os)

Aaaaand.....you don't know whether you're running 4.0.4 in which case, doing a wipe *may* permanently kill your phone (search emmc brickbug for the why/how)......

Realistically the only option is to obtain a screen......have you thought of taking the phone to an unofficial repairer, explaining the situation and asking for the temporary instore use of a screen? (You could even offer to pay a small fee.....just as a sweetener)

PS: Any recommendable, FAST rom without too much bloatware?

Cheerio!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Lol....not gonna recommend a specific ROM as that's against XDAs rules......but if you want the stability of stock without the bloat, try one of the hybrid ROMs. Look for "samsung based" in the ROM sticky thread.....or do what I've done. ....stay with your stock firmware, but root it and debloat it.......

I'm not an (totally) inexperienced user and have normal technical questions regarding the roms and it also seems unmannered to start unneccesary whole new threadds while also some others ask way more newbie-questions than I have in those threads.

Hello all once again, for those who have helped me in the past when I couldn't even figure out how to install a rom, thank you from the bottom of my heart! This is a happy thread, I have no questions or problems to ask anymore, ever since installing Supernexus, my S3 has been nothing short of perfect! :)

I did have some trouble at first, when the rom was freshly installed my phone would occasionally freeze and stop responding at all, forcing me to do a hard reboot, but that problem just disappeared on its own somehow, it doesn't happen anymore, it's been working perfectly for months now :)

I have to say that Supernexus beats the hell out of the stock Samsung firmware, especially when it comes to speed and battery life, my S3 lasts all day now no problem.

That's all I have to say, once again apologies for my previous rants when I was still a newbie, those times are now behind me.

Peace & love,

Your friendly neighborhood hippie.
[About XDA developers] vastloper:
I think this question is for Peter Poelman or anyone who knows how to get in contact with him or anyone who can modify the ftp site a bit.

Since pm is not giving any responce i post question here and i also edit the startpage from wiki to (perhaps) get some attention.

It is about time to start protecting the ftp part against deleting files.

Many people have spend a lot of time to build to what it is now.

However in the short time that i am here i have seen files and directory's disappear 2 times now. This could be an accident by moving files but it could also be someone who is having a lot of fun now. So some people including me find it time to change the ftp a bit. We think it is time to get some members with the user rights that people now have when they log in with the name xda and are willing to take care of the ftp. Then the rest of us can upload files to the upload directory only. This way we can be a bit more relaxed and don't need to be afraid that the ftp is empty again tomorrow.

Extra question¿ How come forum is sooooo terrible slow and ftp is soooo extremely faaaaast. I would expect them to be same speed.

The webserver is going to be taken care of.

So it should be getting faster in the near future.

The ftp is going to change too and he told me there where some backups so he was going to take a look to see what he had as back up.

I looked at ftp and many things seems to have come back now.

Perhaps too many now.

The external site is down? Or something. I cant get into that site anymore.

After few days dwelling in the forum, I wanna try going back to v10h euro open firmware.

Since so far I heard is the most battery friendly + heat efficient firmware available. Or is there any better? My local ones are up to v10e only.

(everything should work even if I'm in Asia right?)

Please upload a new working link(preferably d-host because its running max speed, or anything except our friendly average file hosting sites that limits download speed and stuff)

Many thanks!

Do tell me if there is any better firmware or solution. Thanks!

Simon, my bootloader is unlocked, and when I reflash the kdz for v10h, it wont, boot. Does the bootloader affect the downgrade?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
If you are using any other version like CM or V20a you need LG Flash Tool to roll back to ICS then update it with LG Official Tool to get back on JB

Here is the link for that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179126 .......the bootloader locked or unlocked does'nt effect the

downgrade. I personally did it 2 time from CM to ICS but now I have

backed up the JB without Installing any Apps, just rooted and Installed CWM with ROM Manager and took backup now I can easily switch form CM

or from any other ROM to Stock in 10 minutes. But I love Stable CM. Most of the time my Battery usage is 40 Hours round about.

Have fun.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
In ICS the bootloader remais locked, only on JB is unlocked.

Use "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin" to decrypt the .kdz.

Use LGFlash Tool to flash. To change from JB to ICS is the only way.

Good luck
[LG Optimus 4X HD] KiD3991:
Yeah, I did that already! Thanks!

By the way, out of curiousity, speady, how did it last that long? In CM Combining lots of combination the best I got is 16 hours with 2:30 screen on time.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
I don't use much apps like gemes and all this only Browser, XDA, whats app, viber, mostly. Always look at BBS how processor is running and this is how my usage and deep sleep looks like........

I have not much apps running in the Background as well......Viber really does eat your battery thats why I mostly look for it when its running the Background.

I have read about some firewall AF Firewall to be exact to stop apps running the background but I mostly use Greenify if some apps disturb me :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA3DX:
I got a wondermedia tablet the tablet is of mid quality I didn't want the tablet for hardcore stuff but it does its work..... The problem is that I have 8 GB internal memory and it looks like it has been divided into two parts the first part is internal memory and the second is sd-card ...... I haven't put an SD-card yet in the device so that's pretty awkward so whenever I try to install an app it goes in the internal memory which reads 2.0 GB and in apps manager it reads 1.0 GB and there is also is ROM disk which I think is the sd-card so....... My question is how can I use my whole 8 GB storage? I mean if I can't use the whole 8 GB I want to at least use the bigger ROM disk or SD-card or what ever it's name is I will attach some screenshots so you guys would see what I am talking about

Hello xda,

so i got a Xperia S phone. And i have meny questions.

What will i lose if i install CM 10.1 or AOKP roms?

Why the sound from AUX is so silent ? How to fix it ?

Is the cover on phones glass is replaceable? Can i remove it ?

How do i install playstation 1 games?

File transfer with USB is very slow is that normal ?

Battery charges very slow is that normal? (in 2hours)

Thank you for your help, have a nice day :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Envious_Data:
If you install any cyanogen ROMs or anything like that you won't lose anything but your settings and apps

Not sure how to fix AUX

The glass on the front is replaceable but you do need a professional

You can get a ps1 emulator but other than that I don't do much with my xs so I'm not sure

File transfer isn't slow, 14mb/s is actually average write speed

2 hour battery charging is actualy quite quick for a 1750mah battery
