Read my last comment fella.........

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Actually.....just had a rethink about this.......

Here are the 'known' facts.......

1) you WERE on ICS 4.0.4

2) your phone was classed as 'at risk' from brickbug

3) you appear to have lost some storage space.

My (worst case scenario) guess is that you performed some sort of data wipe, and while it didn't kill your phone, it corrupted a portion of your storage. I'm guessing that if you now try to repartition the storage, you'll run into issues where the repartition *could* fail.......and you'll be left with an unusable phone......as it stands, you CAN use the phone, I'd be tempted to leave it that way, and maybe claim warranty with Samsung. Maybe [MENTION=4484008]theunderling[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5132813]andrewwright[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5015324]gastonw[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4851213]Hopper8[/MENTION] can comment on this theory........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Yeah, storage doesn't just go away.

Is there something you're not telling us? If there isn't, contact samsung/warranty.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajman:
we've been facing the same issue on s advance while flashing 16 gb version without a specific pit file or checking repartition without one.

if you guys saying its risky on s2 i got that, it was just a clue how we solved it in s advance. flashing firmware with odin and correct pit file solved the memory shrinkage issue.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddie77:
okay ... let me more clear. i bought it from olx. at time of purchasing i didnt checked the USB storage. later on i realized that its showing less space. perhaps that guy(seller) did something to cellphone unknowingly. m not sure what he did.

PS: its warrenty is expired.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddie77:
if you have previous experience that the method you explained did work then please explain the process step by step so that i can get rid of the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajman:
as i said b4, i have no experience with galaxy s2, what i've don is fixing s advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
I would suggest to the OP that if he has bought a used S2 he better be careful before performing any form of repartitioning, because once the brickbug is triggered there is a small chance of recovery by cutting of the affected sectors by Jtag or other methods like one of my posts(guide), so a recovered device will have memory missing in the usb storage, if you repartition a recovered device again , you run the risk of including the bricked sectors in the main partitions again and it could even further worsen the situation by bricking even more memory blocks and possibly rendering the device unrecoverable, you could try checking whether there are presence of bricked sectors by using one of the flashable brickbug scanner package in my guide.

Simply, if you don't wanna take any risk don't flash pit files anymore and use the device normally for everything else like flashing roms bla bla ...except anything which can repartition your memory.

Edit : If you are in dire need for more usb storage space,search for swapping internal and external memory.

How do I change the default number that is displayed when using the smartdialler, eg when I key in a contact it shows up their mobile, how can I change it so that it's their home number as default?

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xanthuz:
Changing Default Number

The built-in Contacts applications displays the work phone number of a contact as the default phone number on the main screen when you are viewing the list of all the contacts. If you want, you can change the default phone number that is displayed with the contact name on the main screen. To change it, tap on the single alphabet letter that appears next to the phone number of the contact in the contacts list. The letter is usually w (that corresponds to the work phone), but can also be h, m, c, r, or e (that correspond to home, mobile, car, radio phone, or e-mail address respectively). When you tap on the single letter, a drop-down will list all the phone numbers and e-mail addresses that you have entered for that contact. The default listing for the contact will have a bullet in front of it. You can tap on any phone number or e-mail address in the drop-down list to make that the default listing for that contact.

I just wanted to find out and clarify if this is the only forum and the one that I want to be and if I am using T Mobile and want to flash t-mobile roms for this device
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Yes.

Roam around Xperia Z Android Development and you'll find roms for your device.

The Xperia Z Android Original Development part of the forum is devoted mostly for custom roms beyond stock based. Meaning, you'll need an unlocked device to take advantage of that forum. T-Mobile devices are unlockable, so...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knucklessg1:
T-Mobile devices are bootloader un-unlockable.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
The bootloader on the T-Mobile US Z (C6606) CANNOT be unlocked, so that is to say that it is NOT bootloader unlockable.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radsolutionz:
How did u unlock the boot loader? I heard this thing is near impossible to unlock c6606 I'm running 4.2.2 with working lte
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
...

They haven't unlocked the bootloader. I think several people here are writing 'unlockable' when they actually mean that it cannot be unlocked.

That is why I posted above to clarify the actual situation with the bootloader on the C6606.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LolageArmy:
Hey guys!

I installed the following rom a few minutes ago:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2333979

I'm liking Jellybean on the phone, but there are some differences between what I installed and the video, so I'm hoping it's me just being useless :laugh:

The colour scheme has gone weird. Reds come up as blue and Blues as red as well as other colour discrepancies. Is there a way to fix this? Realised every colour displayed is the negative of what it should be :/

Finally, is there a way I can remove the base bar with the back, home and icon button and just use my physical keys instead?

I should say I installed using the v8 720p kernel.

Thanks.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~iSamur@i:
You have installed both rom and gapps? If yes, simply flash the rom, boot the rom and then flash the gapps
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LolageArmy:
Hi,

When I say I installed I mean I flashed it. I booted it up in recovery mode (volume down), wiped it and installed the zip file on my memory card. I then installed GApps. Finally I rebooted. :good:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriGiu:
I guess it's because your system partition is almost full: make a fresh install of that rom, then flash mini-gapps (that you should find even in my sonygenmod thread)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
it loops the roms logo. i think it was a bad flash so the rom won't boot.

i am on the stock bootloader and have no idea how to get into recovery. when i plug the device into the computer it doesn't recognize it. do i need a factory cable or is there a fix for this? =(
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Yes, you need a factory cable to get into fastboot so you can wipe data, or access custom recovery so you can reflash your ROM.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
Thanks. I was afraid of that. Oh well, I want the cable anyway =D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Just remember to always factory reset before flashing your ROMs.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] slixzen:
There are a few things that really bug me about the Touchwiz software.

1) The ridiculous color scheme/non-standardization between pages. For instance, the new apk install menu is just horrid to look at, as well as certain pop-up confirmation buttons. Is there any easy way to change these so that they more reflect AOSP?

2) The messaging application and the widget that appears on the lock screen when you have a missed phone call/text message. I was wanting to use Dashclock widget on the homescreen to replicate this purpose, but no matter what, I can't find a way to disable that widget that always appears. Is there a way to remove it?

3) This sorta ties along with #2, but when you use a pattern on the lock screen, you can't use a stand alone widget, Samsung automatically takes over and uses it's own. I know it's possible to use pattern and a widget (I can do it on the GE Rom, and my Nexus 7), is there a way duplicate this process?

4) Is there a way to replace the TW messaging app with an AOSP messaging application?

5) The pull down notification bar, is there any way to make it look more like AOSP?

There are things that I love both about TW and AOSP, and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a rom (in my opinion) that compliments both of the features that they consist of nicely. I don't have the knowledge (or the time at the moment with school coming up) to try and build my own rom that would enjoy the features that I would want. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this process. I would be forever grateful.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debajangal:
I've just flashed CWM Recovery to my HP Touchpad and installed the CM9 latest nightly build.:o Once that installed and the dual booting was working fine, I flashed the AOKP 4.2.2 and the relevant Gapps from goo.im.:angel:

Since booting to AOKP, I'm having issues with my desktop. I can't press and hold an app on my home screen to drag it to a new location. I'm using Nova Launcher, I used the stock launcher to see if it was Nova, but I had the same issue. I also cannot delete home screens. I cannot hold an app in the drawer to add it to the home screen.:confused:

When I press and hold to do any of the activities I mention above, the screen rotates the orientation for a few seconds and then reverts, but does nothing else. This orientation occurs even though the Touchpad is stationary.:rolleyes:

Can anyone point me in the direction of a resolution or shed some light as to why this may have occurred?:crying:

Is there any way to alter how bright the led on the back of the phone is? I'm after a seriously powerful torch basically. There must be a way, in BuildProp, to alter it somehow. Any ideas? Searching torch, led and flash brings up no matches or close ones.

Come on people. It can't. Be too hard. I just want the flash brighter.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I don't think it's as simple as an edit of build.prop. I did a quick search in /system and it appears that /system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg contains some values that configure the flash led brightness.

Like this -

# LED If setting for Torch or video recording (uA).
if_torch_vr = 62500

I'm not going to alter any of them though, as

1. I don't even know if it's the correct file to begin with.

2. I don't know the safety thresholds for our devices LED and

3.I don't feel like having to recover my device from a bootloop on a Sunday afternoon if something goes wrong. :D

Maybe somebody that knows more about these things will come along and help.

[Shield Q&A] ApexoftheVortex:
Hey everyone just got my shield I'm very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the gamepad. So I've run into an issue when I try to stream certain games that are supposed to be supported. What will happen is I choose a game i.e borderlands 2 and my computer goes to load but it gets stuck on a screen with the shield logo and the mouse will show loading but nothing will happen however when I try to stream through steam everything works just fine thank you guys in advance for helping out
[Shield Q&A] usafballer:
It's hard to understand what you are talking about here. If you can load through steam big picture, and it works more reliably, then just stick to using that. The individually supported games (outside of big picture mode) are a convenience in case you aren't logged in to steam, but ultimately, using Steam Big Picture on this is quick and works VERY well. Of course, there are bugs and kinks, but for BETA software, it's impressive. Occasionally, I find that the GeForce experience application will "lose" the streaming feature, and requires a computer reboot.

Also, I find it best to launch the PC streaming while in a strong wireless network environment (i.e., closer to your router), then move to a distance farther away. Launching and getting the initial sync seems to be very dependent on network strength initially...once launched, the setup seems to handle streaming glitches better.

For example, I generally have a hard time launching from my 3rd story bedroom so I move downstairs, launch, then head back up stairs and it works great. I have no idea why I can stream reliably upstairs, but often have trouble getting streaming to launch initially!
[Shield Q&A] ApexoftheVortex:
Thanks for taking time to help you seem to be picking up what I'm putting down I tried again the other day and it worked OK, the entire streaming seems a little inconsistent at times. Just out of curiosity would it be significantly more stable if the geforce PC was connected through a hard wire?

P.S I just got VPN working :) can't wait to try it out
[Shield Q&A] SixSixSevenSeven:
Way more reliable to use an ethernet cable yes. I personally believe a person should always attempt to go ethernet first and only use WiFi for devices which are by their nature portable or if there is no way to practically route a cable there. My desktop is shamefully on wifi as I would have to run the cable through the dining room, hall, up some stairs, across a hallway and across my room. Going through walls is not so much an option in a house thought to be 150 to 200 years old, however I do have thin walls so get a great WiFi signal at least.

WiFi has significantly higher latency than a hardwired ethernet cable.

Only advantage of wifi really is the lack of a cable. Makes things quite straightforward.
[Shield Q&A] glitchhawk:
every time i try to stream it kicks me off the game shortly after it starts. i have the newest update and i have the newest drivers and steam beta, i even tried the optimus fix just in case. but games just won't stay connected. my pc is hardwired(1gbps). i'm thinking its my router which is saddening because it works nearly flawless for everything else in my house(the router). its N300 and gbps wired but its not 5ghz.. :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pursuitforce:
Hello to all.

I bought recently a Tengda T94 (also being referred to as Dapeng T94).It has MTK6589 chip.

Me,the smartass,wanted to change the DPI setting of the smartphone,because Real Racing 3 lagged a little bit and thought changing it might fix the framerate.I changed it from 320 dpi to 221 with LCD modder and reboot.Then the surprise struck me,when it didnt start,it just stood on the logo and kept replaying it.I have tried with ADB commands - some works,some not.

I am with stock recovery 3e.

Has only few commands like reboot now,install update from adb,cache,sd card and wiping cache and another option for wiping data to factory settings (and two irrelevant options of restoring/backing up user data).

I tried wiping all data and cache,still bootlooping.

Tried with mediatek firmware adapter tool,but i think it cannot change the build.prop file while bootlooping (it cannot find my device when in recovery mode),because it is either in use,or in read-only mode.

Tried with android commander,but didnt know what to do there.

I downloaded rather late a CWM recovery for my phone,and also if I am not mistaken two roms - one of them is exactly like mine.

But when tried to install thru recovery adb sideload it starts and then says : restating ADBD ....... installation aborted and returns me to main recovery menu. Tried with my backed up build.prop which i have put in flashable zip file.

However,the two roms i have downloaded arent working properly.They are zip,but still adb sideload cannot read them.

And another (i dont know if it is relevant) my external sd card 16 gb default,when i put it in my old gsm to put the two roms and cwm recovery files,first windows wanted to format it and the only option was FAT 32,total of 2.87GB.What has happened to my sd card ?

Still I couldnt install from the external sd card the roms,only zip with build.prop file was listed and gave the same mistake as said above : restating ADBD ....... installation aborted.

PP: I have arrived at the conclusion that the problem is this line ro.sf.lcd_density=221,which is in build.prop file (I might be wrong).So the question is can i somehow modify the prop file or what should i do ?

And why has my sd card shortened from 14,6gb to 2.87 ?

Sorry for the long post.
