[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
just use flashtool and any .ftf

my phone is UNBRADED, I live in Mexico and I use o2's firmware...no problems
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxvolta:
Sweet, wth i'll try right now... Thx for answering dude
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxvolta:
So, turns out c5603 firmware DOES work with the c5606, LTE working and all, I haven't seen anything wrong (besides the obvious wrong model showing on the phone info) so far.

Flashed the Deutschland LTE ftf via flashtool.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crunchyHTC:
Hi guys

Quick question. Have a broken one on my hands and was told by a repairer that it was the PCB board that's broken. So am just wondering if it's okay to sell the phone as is in terms of data? i.e. so long as I remove my SD card it's not possible to retrieve any important data from the phone?

Sorry for the dumb question :confused:

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomosh22:
If its completely broken and there's nothing you can do with it, don't do it, someone cod take out the internal storage then the cache and find out your card number,Facebook password etc.

But, if you can boot into recovery mode and wipe all the data/factory reset then wipe the cache, then the dalvik cache, you are probably safe to sell it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crunchyHTC:
Sweet thanks for that

So i have this s2... i can't say i've been nice to him. tried dozens of different roms on it.

i'm now on PA3 (4.3.1) runs peaches on it but it seem to have one minor flaw: the battery depletes in a matter of hours (mostly 4 or 5) and i'm not using it that much like i used to (basically IM, and CSR racing every now and then)

I have noticed that when the battery reaches 30% (i know that since i started using DU battery app) it just... dies on me it's like one moment it says "hey, i still got 30% to go" and the next one is flatlined all of freaking sudden...

Any of you wise guys have a clue?

I have the same issues with my phone.

S2, had the internals swapped from my busted screen phone over to my EMMC bricked phone.

2 original s2 batteries

knock off s2 Chinese battery.

I can get 3 hours screen on time, but my standby time is crap.

I recently thought it was something related to a rom, but I am now sure it is not.

Biggest issue simply has to be that the batteries health is reduced to around 65-85% of original just due to regular use and wear and tear. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
well...

Ok i'm back (yes still working but w/e)

I tried the ROM with the gapps, it's pretty good, though it has a weird feeling to my fingers (Don't ask me what, i don't know)

I went back to my PA RC2 but the Battery problem persisted.

I was talking to a friend who once shoved a Macbook air in an oven to reball it (it worked btw) and happens to know a thing or two, he mentioned that maybe it was...

THIS!

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
DONT PUT YOUR PHONE IN THE OVEN, I never have seen (or heard) somebody that they put there phone in the oven you fix the battery.

Plz buy a new battery its not expensive, I bought mine for 15 Euro's and its better than the OEM, so please bro I don't want to see somebody

even break the phone more :highfive:

or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try this first (Warning you need time for this)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put your phone off

Charge it for 8 hours

take off the charge cable

take of the battery

and wait 3 minutes (so that all electricity in the phone is totally off)

put it back in

and hope that it works bro.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got it from a forum thread but I don't remember the name or link XD :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
not a chance...

oh wait no, the macbook in the oven was a totally different thing, i'm saying that maybe the usb port card is busted or something.

about the battery, well i already bought 2 and it keeps on happening (i actually turned the first one back because i thought it was damaged)

i already tried that 8-hour thing... not a chance :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
then you are right, srry for misunderstanding you :silly:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Lol....so an iProduct user says to put ur phone in the oven.......that'll work....lmao......

And I suppose it has nothing to do with the fact that iProduct users hate Samsung products with a passion......

Joking aside.....putting a faulty battery anywhere near an abnormal heat source is a veree baaad idea.....especially when you consider that it was probably heat that caused the battery to become faulty in the first place. Bloating is a non reversible, non repairable symptom of battery failure........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1username4thisforum:
I recently put supersu on my phone and replaced whatever other SU was on there.

Immediately noticed my phone seemed quite snappier, and battery discharge speed slowed down from 3 to 4.5 minutes per 1%.

Anyone else see a similar change? Or maybe try it out if you haven't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleonyumas:
Keith... I never said I put any battery in the oven, read carefully next time.

Now on to important matters:

I made some important discoveries in the berserk s2 issue.

1.- the OEM battery (that is, for the ones that don't know or can't read properly: the one that came with the phone. I'm not in ashy form, implying that the current one I have is not a genuine battery) holds up from 100% to 0% (it does it faster than the others since it is a bit swollen from all the using and abusing of one year long (dissident before, I haven't been nice to the phone. I over use it). But any other batteries (OEM OR NOT) just die on me.

In layman's terms: old battery now lasts 50 seconds when it is supposed to last 60? Well, now new battery last 50 second too. Phone no care if battery new, phone used to old battery life and stuck with it...

I hope this does not create any more inconveniences.

Some other IT told me it could have something to di with the phone's power source, she mentioned something like the "phone's EPM consumption rate" or w/e. She also mentioned something that this kind of electrical problems are usually best not dealt with since I might end up literally finishing the phone for good (this sounds like bs for me since I fixed quite a few berrys back in the day)

Anyone has a good idea from here?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
try dorimanx kernel, I don't know if it works, but in dorimanx you can change the power consumption rate :/

that is really ****ed up (sorry for my language usage) :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Lol....I was having a jokey dig at iProduct users.....most of us do....lol

nothing more than that.....

I have noticed similar issues with my batteries......

I read somewhere that the older a battery gets or the more damaged it gets, the more difficult it becomes for the supplied charger to fully charge it......

Whether this is true or not I don't know......

But for me the solution was obvious.....take the supplied charger 'out of the loop' and use an external wall charger (you can get them on 'internet auction sites' for about £6) so that is what I did. My batteries take longer to charge, but they *seem* to last longer between charges.........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
there goes nothing.

So i was told that maybe, just maybe the battery's "memory effect" had already permeated into the phone's memory core (ROM), and was suggested to blow the phone's ROM away and write a new one.

I did... i actually totaled the phone's Board for a couple of hours and reverted it to GB, then Updated it to ICSm then JB and then went back to Slimbean...

It did NOT work. phone turned off this morning @ 26& Batt (Or so it said while the schen blinked and died)

P.S: That Screen blinking seriously makes me think that it's just an electrical problem and should sell the phone for spares (One thing i find incredibly upsetting since i haven't used it for more than a year and living in my country is not easy to buy a good cellphone, S4 is worth 17 to 20 times th minimum wage and i only make 2.5 minimums... go figure)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
got link?

Got a link for a compatible dorimanx?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
yet another "i was told" post.

So i was told (I know, a lot of people tell me a lot of things) that if i charged my batter with an external source (Wall charger or something like that) and then use the batteries, the phone would eventually modify the energy parameters it currently has. i'd be kinda like readapting the phone to the energy parameters.

I know... i'm just desperate as F***!, my S2 is currently worth 2.3 times what i earn and i'm NOT about to spend 2.3 salaries in a new one before trying literally (and i emphasize that) EVERYTHING :crying::crying::crying:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riro1612:
I also think it's a USB port issue. I am not very sure though. You know that the charging process must be done through the USB port. If you have a damaged one, it will surely affect your charging and thus your battery.

If you have charging problems, then it is surely a USB port fault.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
Right... so what now?

Ok, so what do we know so far?

The USB port could be broken or about to break

The Kernel might help in reducing the drain

The motherboard could be fried

The charger might as well just be a d**k

The phone might not be charging the battery completely

the battery might not be calibrated

And what have i tried so far:

I have not replaced the usb port yet

I did change to Dorimanx, Yes, I noticed less Batt drain (What CPU and I/O Settings you guys recomend?)

I don't think it's fried... I mean, the phone works incredibly good and fast

I might as well buy a new charger... but i'm not made of money. meh, i'll try that tomorrow

True, i think it isn't

Wrong, i've calibrated it like 3 times now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Replace USB board/port.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
i see...

ok, i have pondered on that as well... can you elaborate? i'm not going to spend tons of money on hunches :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:

As it was once said around these lands: "i shall now pray the battery god"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:
And... it did it again

no comments...

I'll buy the usb port... guess i'm running out of options here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleony:

Now the battery indicator just went bananas... it's going up and down at will.

With what Ive read,you are posting crap.We try to help,but your financial situation is your own fault;get a job,or play online poker or something.

You seem to listen to these other people you mention,so maybe get them to fix your phone.

Also,you should take better care of your phone since they are so expensive where you come from.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
SO... My wife recently learned that it's not a great idea to charge your phone with a frayed USB cable. Had I known she was doing this, I would have put a stop to it. Sadly, the OG doesn't work. I can get a flash from the LED and a flash from capactive keys, but no download mode, battery pull does nothing and can't get the computer to recognize it. I'm going to make a few more efforts to revive, but I think it's done. PM me if you are interested and once I'm certain that it's completely gone I will donate.

The silver lining here is that my OG still works and I love it as much as ever. :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] stevek216:
Hey I've heard a legitimate battery pull fixes this if you're willing to do a tiny bit of manual labor
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
hmmm.... Have not seen the legitimate battery pull done. Do you know where I can find instructions for this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Oops. Guess I should have read it before posting. Anyway... Nice video. :confused:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] stevek216:
I'm not sure where to find instructions. It takes a weird screwdriver but other than that I think it's just a matter of taking out the bottom screws, removing the back, and carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the battery
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
You try taking it to sprint? Has it been a year since you got it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
No and No. We didn't buy the phones from Sprint so we have not spoken with them about it. Certainly doesn't help that there isn't a corporate store or repair facility anywhere near me.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
I will keep you updated, have a few last things I am going to try before officially giving up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
Maybe something could be done to coordinate swapping the backs since it sounds like you just cracked the glass and he would only be using it as a dev phone. Like I mentioned in the previous post, I have a few last ditch efforts to try and then will be officially giving it up if they don't work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AdriVelazquez:
I don't mind you sending it first to him to remove the black plating and then mailing me the device with the cracked back plating.

Also, if I happen to revive and you still want it, I'll send it back to you.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shabbypenguin:
sprint doesnt usually care if its warranty or not, ive gone in and had them fix just about anything and they charge me the standard 35 dollar fee if you dont have insurance, the only thing they dont cover is screen/water damage. screens are 100 i believe to swap.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] askmeonemore:
damn i need the back plate too:(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spankmaster:
I'd be willing to send you some money for your front assembly! I got screwed by a Chinese seller when I bought a replacement for my cracked screen. The new screen registered touches constantly when I'll not touching the screen, scratches and discoloration on the ACTUAL LCD (ie not the glass) and my volume buttons got borked during the swap :( $95 well spent... So I'd could definitely use it since its my daily driver right now. I'd love you man!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Take it by a Sprint Store or even call over the phone to Customer Care. If you have Insurance they will replace it for free, if you don't they will charge you $75 to replace it!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
Will they open it up and see that I have taken the tape off the battery terminal and tell me to take a hike? Also, does it matter that I didn't purchase it from Sprint?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
No and No. They probably wouldn't even know there was tape on the battery terminal if they did open it. You are good. It has to be on an active line though, but you pay $75 and they hand you a new one.
