[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. What you need to do is stop being outraged at the way you were treated by the service centre as a result of your own carelessness...

And think logically for a moment; 'can water cause software damage ?'. Your question is illogical straight off the bat. You obviously don't understand what software is if you're asking that question. What the water has done is damaged the place the software lives (yes I've dumbed this down, you seem like you need that). Full immersion of the phone in water for even a second almost always results in permanent damage. This case is no exception.

The few instances where this isn't the case have involved the person concerned turning the phone off immediately if the water didn't cause shutdown, removing the battery & placing the phone in a bag of rice for a week. If you use the phone straight after exposure to water (despite your attempts to dry it), you make the problem worse & almost certainly cause permanent damage.

Water damage often causes the phone to work normally for a period, then start not working in various ways, and then work OK for a while and so on. What your seeing with the buttons is exactly that.

If it were me, I'd be looking for a new phone as even a motherboard & button change may not fix everything & you may have other problems crop up later on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] girishadat:
Thanks for the reply Mistah.

Yes, that is the solution currently open in front of me. Planning to buy another S2.

Why I (illogically) thought this being a software damage is that, there are intances where a hardware physical failure can cause some changes in software too. It could be like the freezing (makeing it read only instead of RW) of a linux file system when there is a failure to write on it, from the disk controller's end or on occurance of a bad-sector on the disk. This action is being carried out by the software. The OS just remounts the filesystem in readonly mode.

I am not into the internals of Android yet. I am completely ignorant on how the Android OS handshakes with the hardware. Also, the 100% working power button when the phone is switched off, won't work for 100% sure when it is turned on - this also made me to think this way. When the software is awake, something is preventing the key action being recognized. It may not be at the ROM level, as it is not working even in recovery mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Software is just data/zeros & ones that lives on the hardware & nothing more. As it's not physical, it can't be damaged by water. What seems to be happening is physical damage is manifesting itself as the software not working the way it should be; if the hardware doesn't work properly, the software often won't either.

Edit - I guess what I'm trying to say is, on the SGS2, the only way you can damage software 'permanently' is if you brick your phone with a bad flash/etc, which often messes up the formatting/info on the NAND so badly it can't be fixed by a 'user' and often service centres just go 'It would take us an hour & a half to fix this problem manually, we can change motherboards in 15 minutes', so they do the latter. Almost always you can 'fix' the software on the SGS2 by reflashing/factory reset/whatever. If the hardware which contains the software is damaged, however, you'll often get problems which manifest themselves by the software 'malfunctioning'.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevipsr:
you can disable Demo Mode by using a Launcher like Apex. Hold home screen for two seconds then select Shortcuts. Now select Activities then scroll down to Demo mode, expand then select ".DemoModeActivity"

From there an icon will be placed upon your home screen. Touch it and follow the prompts.

Hello! :)

First post in a while, so if I need to change anything just say.

I have recently put on BOA v5.2 and also stock 4.2.2, however I am having battery calibration issues :\

I thought it was BOA's problem, but then I flashed the stock 4.2.2 RUU and it was still being weird.

Any solution? Tried the root battery calibration app, doesnt work. As soon as I unplug it shows 90%.

Battery life seems okay-ish, but I just want a proper battery percentage.

Thanks heaps in advanced! :)
[HTC Butterfly] bluheart:
Empty the battery wholly, then try to reboot without charging, and then let it go down again, then charge up for 3hours, off and reboot and charge again.

This is the method adviced by HTC
[HTC Butterfly] darkskoliro:
Hey thanks for the reply :)

Unfortunately as soon as I unplug the phone the battery drops to 90% still...but at least battery life improved a little (y)

Is there something wrong with the kernel/rom? I saw some other people experiencing the same problem, haven't seen a solution yet.
[HTC Butterfly] nikhil777j:
battery issue

f

This issue is mainly because this rom is not perfect , while installing the rom. its done from the phone . and what happends is that this rom cannot write the program for bios chip properly . so wat happends is tat the voltage varies . so there vl be a lag of 5% of battery charge . and due to this voltage problem the mic also wont work well . u cannot fix this issue by any app better to change back to your old rom .

and ''one important " thing to be taken care off, u should not allow ur phone battery charge below 5% make it 10% dont go below this .suppose it happend and the phone went off dont ever try to turn on ur phone , that may end up in disaster . if the battery is fully empty and if you try to on again there is a possibility to erase the bios memory which leads ur phone to be dead forever. so suppose battery get low below 10% and went off put in charger for a while then turn on . i installed this same rom in my phone but i dint try this but this is a possibility so take care.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GBird:
I have unlocked the Extended ROM on an XDA2 device (Himalaya for those with alternative distributers) with bootloader 1.06.

(This was done using the information at:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422 )

I am then able to change the ROM to suit my needs so that it loads various bits of software.

(Changing the cab files and config.txt file to my needs)

I can then copy this Extended ROM onto an SDCard.

(I followed the steps here:

http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=62&PN=1&TPN=2 )

Using this SDCard it is possible to Flash install the device I copied the ROM from, but not another device with the same bootloader. It comes up with the error:

"SD Download

Any ideas as to what I am missing to make this flash install onto other devices?

[General Questions and Answers] prezident36:
Hi everyone!

I have a Huawei Ascend G510, which is running JB 4.1.1.

It has 512 MBs of RAM, but I only can use 393, so the kernel is using 119 MBs of it.

IMO it's too much.

I met one one my friends yesterday, he owns a Prestigio PAP5000 DUO, which has 512 MBs of RAM, and runs JB 4.1.1 too, but its free RAM is 473 MBs.. So in his device the kernel is using only 39 MBs of RAM..

How this is possible?

On his device everything is much smoother, and the multitasking is much better, thanks to the +80 MBs of free RAM.

If our phones have the same amount of RAM and system, why my phones kernel eats much more RAM?

Is there any way to decrease my phones kernel RAM usage?

Thanks!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr.Electro:
Hi,

It's been a while since I flashed/rooted a phone. I'm fixing my nephew's LT26w which got water damage. Got everything on the hardware side working (except the camera key, where the gasket is missing).

It appears that the bootloader is unlocked. I tried to update the device OTA to the .200 update which it automatically found. But I'm getting error messages that the update can't proceed because the device has modified software.

So I tried to get this device back to basic, and then update to the latests ROM, 211 (or 196). I got 200 working on it, but the wifi is just not turning on. It worked on the previous rom. So it's not a hardware failure.

I think that I'm missing a great part of knowledge on ROM compatibility on this device. So maybe there is a specific rom/region/type that can only work stable on this device.

Rooting didn't go successful. I tried the method where you start of with the docomo rom, ADB step 1, 4.0.4 rom, ADB step 2. But that one failed.

I got the flashtools drivers installed properly on Windows 8, and the device has the latest CWM installed. However I can't get CWM to recognize any ZIP files on my SD card.

The device is the following build: LT26 - 1266-3364 - Xperia acro S LT26w/Mobile Phone/TRI/Bla

Can somebody put me on the right track how to proceed?

Thank you!

Tried that already. But it seems that it was a combination of battery and charge failure. Somehow my phone couldn't charge more than 1% with .200 rom. Luckily 1% was just enough to flash the stock 211 rom. After that it depleted, and had to wait three hours again before getting some vital signs from the device. It is now 100% charged and working for the moment without any flaws. I hope the problem remains resolved.:)
