CF-Root 5 kernel doesnt work well with my Checkrom v6, reverting back to RedPill kernel..

Ohya, how many are using 2000mAH battery?
should put it on 1st page.. and their performance test..
*
2000mah battery should gives around 5-6 on screen time with a 2 days+ cycle on average usage.

I think there is something fishy about TSF Shell launcher....they supposed to launch by Feb but till date nothing in Market yet.....I tried going to their website but cannot access anymore....hmm....something is not right...

hmm.gif

Maybe they are preparing for the launch so they take down the website to prepare for launching.

A little off topic, for those digi SMART plan users, maxis is offering something not too much more, and without call commitments finally

Check it out
Rather tempted to change, seeing as how crappy Digi have been laugh.gif
*
Soyacincau news is a little slow, I saw that plan week ago.
Agree that the Internet Value 50 is more worthwhile than Digi 48.
However we still need to monitor our usage carefully, as they like to charge PAYU after quota reached. unsure.gif

After a few hit and miss, finally getting the hang of flashing rom and kernel..kinda. Quite happy now with superROM v2 and Lucifer kernel. Thanks to the help and advice I've got here.

One question though, is it normal for a yellow triangle appeared at model logo bootscreen?
*
Pretty normal, only stock kernel will not have the yellow triangle.

QUOTE(ellimist @ Mar 1 2012, 01:52 PM)
Yeah. But Digi after quota slows you down to ridiculous speeds, might as well don't use.

Personally I'm on the 68 bucks plan. And for extra 7 bucks a month, I won't mind. To me, even if they didn't give 3.5gb but 3gb, I would still consider it worth it based on their superior coverage.

Waiting for digi to respond hmm.gif If not I'm gonna hop over soon
*
Yes, Digi change the plan that they cut down the speed to 5kb/s which is really ridiculous.
I'm now trying umobile RM28 coverage for a month, afterwards might switch to either Digi or Maxis.
Maxis RM48 looks good but hate the contract term. doh.gif

5kb/s?! That's pathetic, its as good as telling you no need to use.

For the contract term, can you offset it by getting a phone then selling it to a buyer? Then the buyer pays u a small fee extra to cover your time and the contract.

Or you can get another sgs2. rofl
*
The plan is not for purchasing devices.
If you want to buy a phone from Maxis you still need to use the traditional VP+Internet plan, which have at least RM88 commitment.

umobile also H+ at my home, 6-10mbps DL.
I will go round Penang to see whether the coverage is good or not, if not I will take back Maxis.

My gf I9100 non-G also have problems when flash custom ROM into it.
I'm not expert but I used to flash a lot of ROMs in my own GalaxyS2.
But these 2 days when I flash either CheckROMv4 or V6 into my gf S2, the phone keeps acting weirdly, sudden hang and freeze, market crash constantly, notification bar freeze etc etc.

I always wipe everything before flash, sometimes twice, I even format /system /data /sdcard /emmc separately.
Is there a problem when directly flash 2.3.6 ROM into 2.3.3 stock ROM?

Really headache, stick back to XWKF1 for her for now. doh.gif

CR V6 is super unstable for me. Mess up my phone. Have to be careful what kernel you flash. Have to flash twice to fix market prob and what not. Need to flash so many patches to make it compatible with latest jkay. So frustrated end up going back to stock rom. God forbid if you ever lodge a compalain on their thread. Just gonna get accused of your system being messy shakehead.gif

Thank god doc finally released HD V7. Much more stable and less drama.
*
Even I flash V4 for her without doing anything yet, the phone act very weirdly, but V4 runs fine on my phone.
Since ICS is coming in this month or early next month, might as well wait for it. rolleyes.gif

Hell my gf phone now even on stock XWKF1 rooted also got problem like auto-restart and freezing, don't know whether it is the effect of flashing multiple times and getting into bootloops multiple times or not. Something may have messed up under the hood beyond my knowledge.

Should I flash the stock ROM again with repartition ticked?

Hola!! It's my turn now to report this problem.
My phone met camera failure issue for 2 times yesterday.
Mine one is G version.
The flash led cannot be opened when this problem occurs too.
This problem is fixed after I restart the phone.

Any solution?
*
Even my non G version will have camera failure issue from time to time blink.gif

hi guys...jus got my s2 about a month ago...but im facing a problem right now....why does it hangs when im playing music on earbuds....after i closed the screen it hangs...??...need help here...TQ

It sounds like a problem with underclocking to 100mhz. Or did you undervolt 200mhz to a low voltage?
Or you didn't configure anything on your phone and everything is in stock setup?

I have a question, how to check the memory card is what class?

I am using a very old 8gb micro SD card.
Transferred it from my old symbian phone,

Its working fine so far,
But I'm curious what class it is.

I read that class 10 is the best, but class 4 is enough for normal use.
Not that I'm very perticular about it, but it's makes me feel better if I know.

I bought it about 1 year ago for rm48.
*
Plug the card in card reader, try transfer a big file to the card and see the transfer speed.
4mbps above - Class 4
2mbps above - Class 2
and so on.
However the speed may vary depending on your device and files.

I think my gf nonG S2 have some hardware problem, and it is AP so I'm quite worry now.
Even staying on XWKF1 has problem, like going to setting screen it freeze and can't touch anything, after around 15 seconds phone restart or Setting closed without message and return to homescreen. Some apps will act like this as well.

So I go to 3e recovery, factory reset wipe cache, go download mode, open Odin and put XWLA4 on PDA and flash it.
Afterwards the phone still act weirdly, so I go to recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache again.
This time I don't want to do any rooting first and observe.
Problem still occur, playing around in Setting sometimes will still restart/freeze.
If not mistaken problems only start occurring once I've on Wifi, I suspect there is some problem with the modem inside.

I used to do a lot of flashing on my own phone no problem, I afraid I might have done something wrong to my gf phone (other ppl phone so a bit pressure maybe).

Now I want to try flashing stock ROM through Odin with REPARTITION ticked, is that a good idea?

or i need to revert back to stock rom 1st?

You need to be on stock ROM, revert back to stock ROM 1st if you want to use Kies, which I don't recommend.

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Mar 9 2012, 12:42 PM)
Hi, wanna ask... The guide required me to use Kies 2.0, currently I have Kies Air. Is it the same? If not, where should i download it? I can't find it in market or samsung apps. All are referring to Kies Air.
*
It is not the same, you need the Kies on your computer, not on your phone.
You can download it here.
