I've had my SGS2 for about 2 weeks now. It's awesome, but I have a problem with the icons, especifically the VIDEO icon, I move it to one place, and after I download an app or move another icon it moves itself to the last page of icons. This happens like twice a day. I also have a folder with 27 icons, did a battery pull and the folder was empty and all the icons where roaming different pages.

on the droid x, i found this to be VERY simple. press and hold the icon, then once it is unmounted slide to left of right. once the green "highlight" appears on that side, the sscreen moves as well as the icon.i had the original droid and dont think it was this easy, though im not sure i ever tried.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else noticed their icons moving around [by themselves] on the home screen? A couple of days ago, the "Phone" icon suddenly appears on the left-most home screen rather than on the center one. Today, I discovered that I had 2 Gmail icons on my home screen. I thought that it was my imagination, but this has happened a couple of other times.
View 4 Replies View Relatedis there a way to move the icons without having to remove them and then pick a new place? If not - why with the nice slide functionality, can you not just slide them around on the same screen or the the next?

The problem is that they show up under Removable Disk (F as "Shortcut" and size is 2kb each. I cant open or move anything to them. I'm thinking its something on the pc side because 2 phones are doing this.

I have a rooted SGS2 with NeatRom. And I am sharing my internet with wifi hotspot to my computer.
Is there any mode or anything, that makes my phone go into some mode, that only enables internet/data sharing and such.. Like a modem, to save battery and also, that the actual phone dont use so much data.
everything i wanted is to have my phone overclocked on 1,5GHz and now its stuck on loading screen after doing it with odin? it worked before on Omni ROM and everything and all those things i had the damn backup on phone
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently, I came across the 'no connection', retry - error in both Google Play and Gmail on my rooted SGS2 with CM7. Haven't had this problem before, it just started out of the blue.
I have tried
- setting date/time to correct values
- clearing data of Gmail and Play app
- re-flashing gapps
- battery pull
all without success. The Gmail app seems still to be able to receive messages, just not sending. Also, the 'no connection' error pops up 95% of the time, but not always.
My SGS2 got hanged this morning and i gave it to service center for repairs (software problem), m going to get it back tomorrow. but they are going to wipe all the stuff, is there any way that i can re install all the apps without searching for it one by one??
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I got my phone at the end of last year I rooted it using a Chain-Fire kernel - v 4.2, I think. After flashing, it worked perfectly, since when I have flashed the old bootloader to get my USB Jig working to remove the yellow triangle and flashed a patch again to allow the USB Jig to reset the binary counter.
I have very much wanted to install and get the new Sky Go application working.
What I had to do was flash the Stock kernel for my Stock Rom - I have never messed with my Rom - it is Gingerbread 2.3.4 in a CPW phone here in the UK.
Doing the flash and installing Voodoo OTA (to temporarily hide my root) has been enormously successful
Now then to my query....
The original Chain-Fire mod v 4.2 installed CWM.
After of course cancelling the "hide root" function to show my phone as rooted once more, I went to do a backup, using CWM but it refuses to work. It says my kernel needs v 5.0. Obviously the Stock Rom I flashed to get Sky Go working has thrown CWM some what.
I have downloaded Rom Manager from the Market but this seems not to work either - it starts to work (reboots) but then halts with the following messages: -
E : failed to verify whole-file signature
E : signature verification failed
Installation aborted
What I would like is some way of installing a backup previously made before flashing the Stock kernal and also to make a fresh backup now.
For the last 5 days I am experiencing extreme battery drainage(Android OS nearly 100% Battery Usage ). Back when it began I did not install anything suspicious or battery consuming software. I never go full screen brightness, and all unnecessary apps are either deleted or disabled. I have tried Factory Resetting, Wiping all possible caches, systems, internal/external SD cards. I even tried manually deleting all folders from my PC. I have tried installing custom kernels, roots and even stock ROM. Right now I'm with stock ROM with CF root.
Phone state: Model number- GT-i9100; Android 4.0.3; Baseband v. i9100XXLPS, Kernel v. 3.0.15-i9100XXLPQ-CL223505 se,infra@SEP-94 #3; Built number IML74K.XWLP7. And here is what I get from the battery report :
i41.tinypic(dot)com/1j9nae.png
I have tried full discharge and charge to 100% and calibration. Even cleared the battery stats It just doesn't work. I am using Nova Launcher. Even after going back to TwLauncher I am still getting 98% Android OS usage. I don't use Data Mode and Wi-Fi isn't always on. When charged and calibrated at 100% at 21:00pm, in the morning at 9:00am phone battery is completely empty and shut down.
I'd like to use the stock ROM, with a nice battery stable kernel & still with Nova Launcher. NOTE: This is still happening with a NEW battery.
Currently, ICS on my sgs2 shows my external card as mounted with empty contents (in storage settings). Both /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard point to the internal sdcard storage. Where is my external card mounted? GT-I9100
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Resurrection Remix v9.6 on my SGS2 which is brilliant apart from my one issue. I can't find Kies Air on the Market place and I can't install it direct from my PC as it says it is not compatible with my device.
I use this quite a lot and think this ROM would tick all ot the boxes if I could get it working.
I have a few questions about TWRP. I have been using it for a while now on my SGS2 t989 hercules variant and I like it alot but there are some things I am not sure about.
First when I make backups is it okay to only backup the System,Data,boot for regular backups? Or Should I just check everything system,data,boot,recovery,cache,.android_secure,sd-ext? Also if I make a data backup is that okay to restore after flashing a new rom instead of using titanium? I would think not but I want to know for sure.
Next thing is under the wipe menu, what is rotation data? I have never heard of it before. So should I wipe it once in awhile when I wipe the cache and dalvik?
I would do this: [URL] .... (created with paint)
Because I get to edit files, but I am looking for a long time without finding how to put ALL the icons on the left, and keep only the icons on the right as in the picture.
i am using android gallery is there any listener or way i can know which get fired when user start motion, stop motion, slowing down or moving?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI notice that the home screen is customizable but not the four applications on the bottom, the call, email, browser and applications. How would I change those icons with different icons? Mainly the email and browser. How do I turn off or at least severly limit the data that goes to and from my phone. I do not have wireless and am just a bit paranoid about going over my data limit. I got the phone from work and this is my first smartphone so I am a bit nervous about anything I do on it.
