supposingly it's still running, check under services in your setting>applications you should see the whatsapp service.

you mean when your start up your phone? then its normal, but wont hang tho. if you mean the external sd card, then u can try scan for errors using your computer>properties

so you mean is the external memory card la right? take it out, and put it into ur computer using an adapter or card reader. then go my computer, right click the sd card, properties>tools>error checking there u click check now, then tick both the boxes and start, after that should be okay. I experience almost the same thing.

they did, you just have to buy

startup logo is the one with the yellow triangle? or boot logo which is the moving samsung shining one?

if case 1, take out battery leave for 5 mins, put back try enter recovery. if not take out leave it overnight, then try again. i remember uncle benny's fren phone whole night till after lunch only can go past.

if case 2 then u just have to wait, as long it's not in a boot-loop

still, i suggest you have your windows check it. last time mine also start to get weird, i din care cont use, then 2 days ago it totally cant read, say sd card corrupted no matter how many times i take out put back, then i use windows scan scan, gt corrupted files, then they fixed the index, then now no prob ad. my prob was caused by din use the safely remove feature i think

any games also gg? list some of the well known games that u experience this. the games you get from market or from other websites?
cant confirm ur second problem, there's reports these days maxis signal crazy abit, or its just because your 3g signal there is weak, even so there's ppl reporting this problem ad, so far no confirmation its bcoz signal or bcoz carrier or bcoz phone.

2 choices: flash back your previous rom like what strictly said
or
do a full data wipe using recovery menu, then start ur phone

2nd prob: this happens to my digi line alot, so far no idea whats the prob yet coz i'm never in kl city for the past 2 months
1st prob: i will play inotia 3 tomorrow and see got jam/hang or not, most probably wont, most probably your phone got prob, there was one guy last time also alot games hang blabla, if you flash b4/root then u go flash flash new roms, if not, maybe send to samsung say always hang/jam ask them flash new stock rom

my previous post made me curious and my engineer side came out, so another night spent testing my phone, last night uv, tonight is modems

using this for reference on signal strength(dbm/asu) Guide
i tried to keep everything as constant as possible, same location same angle, within the same hour, same network, HSDPA same testing while data running, excluded the extreme values and made average.
Flashed every single modem that i have in my arsenal including the kh series modem i just downloaded.
this is by no means accurate, i wish there is an app that can constantly record signal data every 5 mins like battery monitor widget.

as the signal strength fluctuates, the max and min represents the average signal strength, excluding the extreme values.

carrier: DiGi prepaid with 3g 15/week plan

cognition 1.31 xxkg3

first modem to got me an extreme value of -71dbm for ~10 secs when phone booted before it quickly went up to -95dbm, made me happy for 10 secs
max -93dbm
med -95dbm -stick around alot
min -99dbm

stock xxkh1

i leave analyzing the data to you guys
again this signal data represents my current location, dont come telling me your dbm is higher or lower
good night

dude play starblitz, gunbros is meh, i just get a god-like partner, and hide at corner collect exp till high lvl then start collect money, too ez ad la

YES that is my exact conclusion, i bet samsung didnt even touch the freakin modem firmware, so far using KH3 as my ststas shows its good

1)sorry what???? you expect the phone to use your external memory just because you inserted it?
2)put in external_sd>Music

check ur batt stats into bars, the awake bar and screen bar same? or different alot? screen off but still awake?
2 reasons: batt not calibrated or batt defect, you did a proper batt calibration right? as in you delete the batterystats.bin, this happens with my andida 2000mah, will always drop to 98 or 97% till i keep charge it again and again, but that's a rm30 battery, ur using an ori battery, shouldnt have such problem.

battery usage is very relative, it depends on alot of things, if you dont know what is eating ur batt, u might even lose 30% in 30 mins like sLapshock, check your batt info, install betterbatterystats, check for wakelocks

time to troll the police

anyone managed to install the swype beta?

i tried install they say cant parse installer when i check for update in swype installer, reinstall the installer still the same @@

installed mine after fallenangelz suggestion, wiped data using tb and reinstall, everything falls into place after that

its not in the market. "betterbatterystats"

what phone are you using now? have you used a smartphone before? 2 days is abit over to ask for, 1 day is still logical, it can last you two days if you only if you barely use it. this is pretty normal actually.

how do you usually use your phone each day?
based on the arc, then you should have at least 2 days or even better than the arc
since you used arc, you should know very well about how battery is consumed, the sgs2 uses a dual core 1.2ghz, instead of a 1ghz single core, if you dont monitor your phone well, one stupid app and your battery will drain like crazy.

oooo another app that does the same thing as juice defender and green power. but i've read the reviews that ppl said better than JD, i'll give it a try tqvm

so it's power button to take pic?

@guy who bricked his 2k phone: what is shown on your screen now when you switch it on.

your stock kernal is which version?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.l...abs.planb&hl=en
good luck
this app and also samsung's quite troublesome, first your phone and sim must not have protection, both samsung dive and plan b requires active internet connection and gps to track, your phone locked, thief cant use phone, internet cant on, how to track? Second the thief must have the phone on and also dont know how to flash

1)buy spare battery
2)use till 0%
3)pop in spare batt
4)instant 2x batt life!

and no kernal or rom flashing required.
