    Root [International] Confused new owner

    Hi all. Ive just updated my S2 to an S4 (Three UK) last week and have already updated to 4.3. With my S2 I rooted at an early stage and used numerous ROMs - on the S4 Ive wanted to hold fire due to the warranty issue but miss the rooted aspect if not just to be able to lose the Samsung...

    Deleted folder keeps reappearing after boot

    With early AOKP ROMs I was having an issue with the external SD card being picked up by some apps. For quite a while I used remount SD to point the ext card to a new folder extSdCard. Now the default AOKP/cm setup seems fine in jb 4.2 so I deleted the remount app a few ROMs ago. I found some...

    Unable to access Google Play Music on new ROM

    Ive flashed a new ROM today (X-treme V9) and now when I go into the Play Music app it shows as already logged in to my Google account. I can play music on the SD card but not stream or access the store through the app. I tried clearing the data and logging out of the PC version but to no...

    Location access overriding 'off' on JB

    I wasn't too sure where to put this as I'm currently on a custom ROM (Omega 4.2.2) but I also had the same issue on root box 4.2.2 too, so am unsure if its something connected to jelly bean as this didn't happen on ICS. By default I have location access switched to off but every other day or so...

    Music apps cannot find music on external sd

    Hi. I'm unsure where to post this but as I'm running Root box 3.9.1 I believe this is ROM related. I usually use poweramp for my music playing but wanted to try jet audio. I was surprised to find that none of the music on the external SD (95% of my collection) showed up. I tried player pro...

    Time not displaying in AOKP JB Roms

    As above. I've tried going back to flashing a few jb ROMs recently after sticking with ICS rootbox for a while. Everyone seems to 'lose' the clock display in the status bar very quickly after re-flashing and nothing I do brings it back. I've tried changing the clock position to no avail...

    a question about undervolting

    I have undervolted on my S2 for a while now, using different kernels and have a question i cant see answered anywhere else. Does undervolting (i.e applying a reduction to each frequency) or reducing the settings for the gpu result in the best battery savings ? At the moment I am using Dream...

    Help Connectivity service wake lock and juice defender

    I've noticed over the last few days that the connectivityservice wakelock seems high. Eg so far today its running at c.24mins and over 3100 counts from 12 hrs up time. I can't say if this is a new situation as i don't check wake locks that often. The phone does seem to be deep sleep OK and I do...

    Time display frozen

    I'm not sure if this is from related or ics generally as I haven't been able to find any other examples. The time will freeze in the notification screen randomly. The system time is OK - I.e. if I set alarms they still work and show the actual time, even though the time at the top of the screen...

    sdcard not freeing up space after app removal

    Yesterday I downloaded NOVA 3 for my S2 - a process which took about 8 hrs ! After playing the game I found it wasnt for me so I deleted the app. However the sdcard has not 'freed up' the 1.8G of data space. I`ve rescanned the card, checked all files I can think of on both internal & ext sd...

    Governor not `sticking`

    Ive recently rooted and am currently trying a Siyah kernel on GB 2.3.6. I had also downloaded voltage control but the governor would default back to ondemand after a reboot. I thought maybe something was conflicting somewhere so uninstalled Voltage Control and downloaded Setcpu which I had...

    Hi all. As per the title. After painstakingly adding/correcting album set on my sgs2, I find intermittently some of it either vanishes or will show a randomly selected piece of album art for a lot of different tracks. There seems to be no pattern to it. I haven't cleared any caches etc. but...

    Root Google Maps update - Insufficient Storage

    I`m trying to update maps through the market but keep getting an `insufficient storage space` error.

    Root Market force closes above v. 2.3.6

    I'm running redux 1.2 and assume this is causing a conflict with newer versions of the market. I always seem to be able to view anything OK (I could even download samples of Google books) but as soon as I try to update or purchase an app it f/c. I've tried clearing cache and then data before...

    Using the various methods/tips/tricks for charging the desire, I can usually get the power up to c. 4201mv or thereabouts. After rooting and resetting battery stats, no matter what I do the max is 4157mv. I dont know how much difference this makes in real terms - but I obviously want as much...

    Root Battery Voltage capacity after root

    Before I rooted I used to find I could get my battery charged to around 4179 mv or upto 4201 even. This seemed to give a `true` 100% on the battery. Anything lower and the battery would drop like a stone initially (I`m aware of the battery charge cutoff `feature` on the desire). I rooted and...
