[Q] Can't enable NFC - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I just received 2 batteries for the I-777 that I bought on eBay. However, they do not have NFC. For the hell of it, I double checked and tried turning on NFC in the settings and it said "error occurred". So I'm like yeah okay, figures. So I pop in the original battery (NFC capable) I was using and tried turning it on, and it was still not working. I'm on ICScrewed 2.1 with Siyah's last up-to-date GB kernel. Re-flashing didn't work. Help?
Stuff I've tried:
Wiping/Re-flashing
Back to stock, re-rooting, reflashing (was sure this would have fixed it...)

Did you try a wipe before reflashing?

Yes, I always wipe before flashing.

Maybe a ROM that isnt outdated, and not supported anymore.

I've been on ICScrewed 2.1 for a while, and the NFC always worked. The problem barely started when I put in a non-NFC capable battery.

Have you tried flashing anything else to see if the issue remained on other roms?

You're assuming people actually try and troubleshoot their problems for more than 10 minutes and search and read before posting here. Most don't.

Again, troll some more.

Labeling people as "trolls" won't get you help around here. Especially when they are the guys with most of the answers!
Keep searching, Google, xda forums, everywhere. Sometimes the answers are in obscure places. It's a pain in the ass, especially xda's search function, but it's worth the time. You may or may not find your solution but learn something helpful in the process. Right now I've screwed up supercharging my phone... Now im frantically looking for ways to fix without flashing. Butt im not going to ask for help until I know I have searched my ass off.

Keep kissing ass to your friends. Phalanx doesn't help. Look at his answer. Absolutely nothing to do with the OP. Instead, he's insulting me by saying I haven't searched, when I have. Not to mention, he does that in every thread I made. I'm pretty sure such behavior is trolling.
Anyway, like I said. I did search. All people have said is: pull battery out and put it back in, reflash (wiping of course too), and going back to complete stock and re-rooting and flashing. None of those have worked. See, you people assume I haven't searched, but I have...
Apparently, there was a flashable zip to fix this, but it was for a different phone when I was looking on Google.

All I can say is include everything you've tried in the OP. If you come across anything, make an update in the thread or an edit to the post, whichever is easier for you.
It took 2 people asking a question to get that you had tried two other possible fixes and they failed. Do you go to the doctor and tell him your head hurts but leave out the part where you damn near knocked yourself out working under the sink? No, you tell him everything you can think if that may have caused the issue in the first place.
No trolling, no judgment and for damn sure no kissing ass (see the thread where I pissed of Shoman). Just a normal guy trying to help ya out a bit.

Geez guys lol. Simplicity . My post wasn't aimed at u. However looking at it now i can see how u could take it that way. I was just making a general statement about a lot of the people that don't search for their answers . I apologize if u took it the wrong way. Good luck all, happy flashing.

Most likely because:
1) You wanted an answer on New Years
2) An answer within 8 hours (goes with #1)
3) The fact you're not rooted makes what you are experiencing something that should not happen and really few options to fix it.
4) The rootzwiki thunderbolt forums are generally more active, but if you need instant answers and "OMG I CANT WAITTTT IT'LLL KILLL MEEEEEE," then I suggest going on IRC
I would root and install something else (another ROM) or return the phone and complain to verizon about it.
yeah, it just seems like your best option is to root or return it, considering it's brand new and you already tried a factory reset. I would probably return it...who knows what's causing that issue on the stock firmware, or what issues it might cause on other ROMs.
are you able to download to the phone from other sources, or is it definitely just the Market?

Not to start a war but your 2nd post seemed smart ass to me. Also sounded like a slight knock to the forum as well.
Sorry no one could be at your hands and feet groveling with answers, but as pointed out to you, its the holidays and people have things going on.
more patience and maybe asking the second time in a nicer tone might have helped...

So i didnt ask nice the first time? Also, this was not my first post, the other got no answer also, so when i post 2 questions, nicely, and get nothing, well it makes you wonder. Ive been around these forums longer than some of the mods, ive never seen that in all my time here. If my post offended anyone, i do apologize, but as far as people doing things, well it wasnt like i was just sitting at my phone, i was taking the wife and kids across 3 states to visit family and traveling in a car 1500 miles. Thats why there is an xda APP. You dont need a pc.

[Q] Which ROM Should I Use?

I recently rooted for the first time and I'm looking to find a ROM that isn't too much of an off-chute from the stock ROM but is also decent at conversing my battery life. I was thinking GB since ICS has that severe bug on the galaxy s2 1777
Oh boy you need a lot more searching and a lot more reading before you get any help.

Indeed, I'd start with looking through each of the ROMs out for ICS currently. as well as checking out Kernel tests

Please do yourself a favor and do some research before you even think about doing what you are thinking about doing.
Once you start reading and ask relevant questions, people will answer you better. Even if you haven't tried it yet, and you ask questions that occur only after having read about it, people will start pointing you in the right direction.

But yeah, click around, learn a thing and ask about that thing. If you show you are somewhat informed, you'll be helped. That's how I did it and I was helped tremendously.
Shostock is the very thing you're looking for. Stock with some stuff. Try it then try others if you want.

KH7 and KK6 are basically the same and run fine everywhere except the Loop and O'Hare, where the data doesn't work at all.
I recently tried out LC5 by accident and it turns out that works great in O'Hare and the Loop, but is very spotty everywhere else. I should probably go through the others but that would require a free weekday in the Loop.
I have task' aokp and run flawless... Never have a single issue..
Plus he thread is fun and have a lot of support to the questions that aren't on the OP (original post)

What ICS bug do you refer to?
If it's stock-like GB you're looking for, I've heard great things about Unnamed and UnOriginal.
OP, these threads are highly discouraged in this forum. I encourage those who think the OP does not deserve such flaming, please read more, you'll see that if you did, vs. threads or "which is best" threads are not allowed.
Btw, the person who posted the kernel tests thread, #1, that thread is I9100 and our I777s are different, #2, each person's I777 is different and reacts to different kernels differently, so that thread is practically useless to us.

Ok, thanks. I was going to try a couple odd ones soon, but haven't gotten around to it.
Just stick with your stock rom and run some 3rd party programs like Juice defender and SetCPU
GB - UnNamed

He definitely doesn't give credit, but it's not like it's all that bad. People do reviews all the time without giving credit to the dev of the rom. I can honestly see a bunch of reasons why people would hate him...but he centralizes some useful things and makes videos of them (rooting methods, apn video, etc.) - even if his reviews are litterally just booting up the rom and then going into settings or opening up netflix....lol. His reviews are awful. I can find out more by looking at the preview screenshots of the rom. Idk why I would watch any of them, maybe just hoping he'd actually say something useful about the rom other than "runs really good", but on occasion he would. I will say he definitely uses XDA for the info and most likely makes a accountable amount of money from his service, however he is very prompt in helping out any person who has a question on his channel, and many people just appreciate what he does in general.
But you XDA users are way too schwerd
EDIT: Oh nevermind I just remembered that he puts up download links for the roms he takes from XDA. That's a problem.

Yes, it is wrong for him uploading the ROM to his own site or whatever. It is just not right. BUT, he also makes lots of tutorials showing people how to root, etc, so I wouldn't see a reason to hate him that much, although I'm not a developer so they might not like it

I'm under the impression that his tutorials are either unclear or inaccurate, but they lead to boot loops or other problems. So people then flood XDA frantically asking for developer help for problems that zedomax's guide caused. I can see how annoying it would get to constantly clean up someone else's mess.

I don't want his site either, I used to watch his videos on YT, until his channel got banned. Then he tried making everyone try to sign a petition and ****. Then he posted a video saying basically, "I'm done with YT, go to my site". It is really just a money game for him, taking other developers work, making it seem like his own, and getting money off it.

Noob mistake. Use the search function before asking a question. Chances are you will find an answer to most questions you have.
GPS Status and Toolbox should help for the GPS
Beans ainec IMHO (there is a thread recommending, just need to search)

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.
OR
2. Reflash back to Stock or whatever ROM you have had a GPS lock on and establish a lock. Then nandroid flash back to whatever ROM you want (i.e. JediROM). Try to navigate- most likely it will work.
I would advise though, hitting the Crtl F key... :highfive:

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.

I'm just trying to get him to understand there is a search function that works very well. Then next time he has a question, he won't just post it, he can solve his problem.

I hear ya, it just seems like the community is rejecting newcomers. . I know this isn't the truth (usually) and he should have searched first, I guess I was trying to give him the benefit of doubt

Really the way some noobs are treated they are turned away from the community. I have been guilty of *****ing out noobs before as have most of us. It gets very old to answer these questions every day when people could have used the search function to find the answer.
On the same hand the reason some of the noobs dont even come to XDA and screw up their phones by using roms and rooting methods is because of the attitude here at XDA and the way noobs get treated. Im not saying every noob gets treated badly but when the first post tells them to search without trying to answer the question that gives a initial impression of an assholish community.

And add the fact that there are millions of posts to sort through, you sort for one question and it pops back 30 threads. Lol

Very true, but you can choose to sort thru one sub forum at a time and that geta rid of the majority of the posts that dont apply to you. Of course most noobs are confused by the way XDA is set up, I was confused by it a bit when I joined but it was a bit more disorganized then than it is now.
The reason most of us get a little annoyed with noobs and repetitive posts is when there are 3 posts that are the same thing one right after another and there is an answer in one but they didnt bother to even look at the Q&A section before posting.
The worst part though is when there are posts in thr Development sections, when I joined there was no Q&A sub forums and I still had enough sense to not post in Development.
Those of us who do try to donate our time and answer questions for new members need to leave our attitudes at the door when we start helping them unless it is warranted, and there most definitely are times that attitude is warranted. They are there asking for help because they honestly dont know what to do or don't understand a process and they asked for help not attitudes for posting a question in the Help and Q&A Thread. Its really giving the sitenas a whole a bad name because of the attitudes that some members have towards noobs even when they follow all the rules and have legitimate questions. I hate saying that about XDA because I love the site so much but it's the honest truth.

file issues

So I tried to go from beans 1.8 to liquid smooth 2.5. Well I found it wasnt as easy as I thought. I thought I could switch roms and reinstall titanium back up and use the apps and data on the new rom. WRONG, so then I went to restore my beans backup, it was gone.
Am I correct in saying that the phone, system, twrp something creates a new file system for ne roms? Once I finally got back to beans I started looking around the file system and found a file labeled 0 within my sd card and it seems to be a mirror image of my original file. Any ideas?

You have to flash the downgrade zip when going back to 4.1 from 4.2. Its I'm most of the 4.2 ROM OPs.
Also this is a question and should have been posted in Q&A not General.

My apologizes I have been schooled! I didnt realize I posted in the wrong forum. Wont happen again. As for not searching, the terms I thought where correct to search for where incorrect. I felt several hours was a sufficient time to seach before asking. Some of these terms you all know right off the top of your heads. I dont, dont assume im just leaching off your abilities. All your help is greatly appreciated. Dont mean to uppset the powers that be.

It is posted in the OP of almost every AOSP ROM what to do when you go back to 4.1, you obviously didn't read the OP. I think its in droidstyles guide also but I may be wrong about that seeing as how I haven't checked it in a while.
No one knows all the terms; not me, not hopesrequiem, droidstyle, 1manwolfepack, kintwofan, or any of the others. The difference is we bust our asses to read everything before we jump in the deep end which you obviously didn't do. Its fine to ask questions if you need help or don't understand but there has been a large influx of brand new lazy users who do no research and want everything handed to them on a silver plate, making posts that show you barely read anything makes you appear like one.
Sorry if I butchered someone's name.

I understand and as I said it wont happen again. I had mentioned previously I had come from the samsung charge tweaked 3.2. Totally diffrent being able jump back and forth with it. But it was old and there where really no new roms available. So as you stated I jumped in feet 1st thinking things might be similar yet they are not. I did research and read. But not as thoroughly as I should and yes (I dont know any of your names) you all do put forth extreme effort in order to make the masses happy. And I will state again it is greatly appreciated.
I do not represent anybody other than myself in saying this, but coming from the device I had previously and it being so old and junping in feet 1st thinking I might be able to the same thing with this N2 is totally diffrent. So in turn questions where asked out of turn.
