Hi Guys
I have the galaxy s2 and i am having problems with it atm, since the phone died on me during the night i woke up and left it on charge for a few hours till i woke up again and ever since then the phone WILL not sleep when the charger is plugged in? I have checked the settings on it and its all set to the way its meant to be, but when its off the charger it will go on sleep with no problems? Not a big issuse but its kinda annoying when you get a text or tells you its finished charging and the light wont go off when your trying to go to sleep yourself.
Cheers
exactly the same issue

Suppose someones got to ask haven't they? lol But looks like we might have to suffer cause not many people know of it lol
From a previously posted similar question the issue is a known one. If memory serves me right it's normal for the I9100 not to sleep whilst on charge but remain on either 100Mhz or 200Mhz (can't remember the stated value)

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT start a thread in any development section to ask this Question. You will just get ridiculed (by others, not by me, I'm just warning you) and the post will be moved back here to Q&A by a moderator.
Development forums are intended to release things. Not to ask questions.
Now, to answer your question....
As stated above by HANDSY, if your question refers to the sleep of the CPU, then that does not enter "deep sleep" while the device is in a charging mode. This is normal.
If you are referring to the sleep of the screen, for example, you get a notification which wakes the screen, but the screen then does not sleep afterwards even when the set screen timeout elapses, then that is NOT normal. There are several apps/widgets that are capable of keeping the screen awake while the phone is drawing a charge either from the charger or a USB connection, so I'd check for installed apps/widgets in this case.
Couldn't you place the phone face down while your sleeping so it doesn't annoy you?

Silly question but you're sure you've checked:

And to the START of your post i didn't start the post in this development section it was moved here by another moderator and now its going to get moved back over?? I take it this forum doesn't have any communications with anyone on here so before you start going on at me get onto your other moderators first!!!!
It's not getting moved back anywhere. It belongs in Q&A, it was moved to Q&A. Problem ? Take it up with a mod. My clairvoyance tells me this thread is getting closed soon. A bare minimum of research on your part before you posted would have got you an answer to a question that is a known issue with this phone/common knowledge here (not going into DS on charge).
You've got your answer, this thread is finished.

You posted this in General, it was moved here by Crachel, a Senior Moderator, as it is a question, and questions belong in Q&A. There is plenty of communication here by those who pay attention and follow the rules, as well as between management. You need to do your own research, not ask questions in General or Development, and stop posting in such a contrary manner if you want any kind of assistance here.

A friend was telling me that a custom kernel on his phone had a feature called deep idle where if your not using your phone it would idle lower than 100 mhz is their a sgh i777 kernel that supports this? If not we someone should totally make it.
It musta never occurred to you to look for over even one minute in the two (I repeat, that's two) kernel threads we have for our phone to gather some semblance of understanding of what you're talking about.
But here, lemme go ahead and answer this one for you. It's called deep sleep and yes, both Entropy and Gokhanmoral have it enabled in their kernels. Use CPUSpy to have a look for yourself.

Its hard not to be a **** when these sort of questions are asked. im not a developer, but since this is a development forum people don't take laziness lightly.
I might be opening a "can or worms" here but at some point, people need to stop flaming OP's for asking questions. This is just my opinion but the people that immediately flame someone for asking a question (whether its stupid or not) is just cluttering this forum more than the OP asking the question. Just answer it and move on.

No maybe about it, you're wrong. The thread is already here. The flaming reply is to prevent another redundant or unnecessary thread from occuring. If people are afraid of getting flamed they might just put some thought into it before hitting the Submit button next time. Or put some more effort into finding info before even starting a new thread. The flaming serves a purpose.

But while everyone is jumping the OPs ass he has a valid point he just didn't provide a link for it to be confirmed as a real thing. Anyway just as everyone says he didn't search still no one searched for deep idle confirming it a real working mod for kernels. So nobody searched. Just sayin.
Most times I would agree to "flaming" but in this case no one did what we are all told to do. Sometimes the op can be right however I can see how this got confused for deep sleep. It always did in the deep idle thread anyway.
And, as I already stated - if you read my kernel changelog for the last three releases you will see that I have primarily been working on cpuidle changes and the changelog is full of cpuidle-related changes!
Your link to a Hummingbird processor feature is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to Exynos, which has a completely different set of idle states.

definitely not disagreeing with you because you are completely right but I think the problem, here, is that some people dont know the terminology. Even if he searched for 'deep idle' as he worded it in this thread title, it wouldn't return 'cpuidle' as you have it in your thread. But then, that raises a completely different issue altogether - which is that people need to learn the terms before posting threads.
just an observation and nothing more than that

Maybe irrelevant but I wouldn't know the difference. I'm just a noob here. True things are very much different and yes I read the changelogs which I'm grateful to have. I was just saying it's a real thing. It seemed like it was getting confused with deep sleep. I meant no harm. My bad.

Actually, no. Im not about to let this place be a flamefest. I dont want people to be afraid of getting flamed so they dont post. If they do post and its against the rules or warnings, they will be delt with... thats what D_M and I are for. In fact, D_M put up this post and the last paragraph says that Users who flame will get infracted too. Flaming is against the rules, period. In times where we get several new threads started and everyone gets irritated by it, a snide comment or two may be made and in the past we have let that slide, but its starting to get out of hand now. I can open up the most recent 20 threads and 90% of them will have some sort of flaming in them.
The flaming may serve as a "purpose" but that dosent automatically mean that its right or warranted and D_M and I are going to start cracking down on this as it seems to have really blown up lately and seems to be "the cool thing" to do. This site is about Developing for phones first, then helping out the community second. Flaming, where as I said sometimes may be slipped in, should not be the automatic response.
Maybe calling them flames is wrong, they are gentle persuaders.
I don't respond to every lame post, mostly just the ones that I know could be answered by doing a search or that refer to something already in a Sticky or a thread on the first page that could have easily been found by simply reading the titles.

This is exactly how I felt when I read the first reply. Its rediculous, every other thread you see someone is getting flamed. If one of you can name one person who gained knowledge about something they were interested in without asking at least 1 stupid question I will banish myself from the internets.
As for terminology I didn't know what to call it this term "deep idle" was how it was described to me I didn't think to look for deep sleep or anything else because I THOUGHT that was the proper term for it.

Well that guy is not me and I don't see how his posts are relevant to mine. No one HAS to help, I was asking a simple question for anyone who feels like answering. If the forum isn't for us common folk why isn't it invite only? Jesus Christ why is it so hard to ask one question here?
I don't understand how this is a job for the mods either, its just a question; a question that I finally got some sort of answer to after 15 posts of debate on wether or not it was okay to complain that I desicrated your forum with my questions. You people take yourselves way too seriously.
Nook Tablet is known to have "extended USB" connector with bunch of extra pins in addition to standard microUSB's 5, and it seems it is the same (at least mechanically) as on Nook Color. Unfortunately, I wasn't able more specific information about the connect than this thread, and Novaports teardown picture which clearly (well, blurily) shows 17 pins, half of them apparently connected to something more interesting than power and ground.
So, is there updated information on this matter? I know folks here made hardware mods while cracking open the Tablet, so I don't believe it could escape their scrutiny. I don't suppose there's UART in there, but well, who knows, maybe charging LED is controlled by full-fledged GPIO for example ;-)
Hello , please read the rules before posting
Thread Locked/Deleted - This Is A Development Section, Not Q&A -READ BEFORE POSTING-
I agree about putting it in the right forum, but this could lead to some interesting development. I would like to know what the pinout is as well. I tried finding out what the pinout was for the evo shift some time back. I had an idea for a dock/case combo that would allow full use of the physical keyboard as well as docking inside a vehicle. I had no luck with finding the pinout, so that idea went into the scrap pile.
I hope a mod simply moves this to the right thread instead of locking or deleting it.

This. It's starting to get annoying with all of these "mods" that aren't actually mods.
I'm sorry if this was wrong place to post this, but this is indeed more of a development question, not a random newbie's one. I did my homework, but didn't find anything regarding Nook Tablet, so figured this is a worthy topic for device enablement, and I collected initial information and links to objective info in the first message.
My second idea was to catch attention of AdamOutler and other experienced developers.
Again, I'm sorry if with all this motivation it was still wrong to post here. And I understand the mods - XDA-Developers is a huge place, so without keeping it organized it would be havoc. But I hope there's difference between "How do I install Angry Birds?"/"How to replace back cover?" and "Let's collect all info on specific device enablement feature in one visible and easily found thread in the forum where interested people will likely look for it".
Just because it can lead to development doesn't mean it is. You can always ask a MOD to move it when it is appropriate.
If you don't like people stating the rules and asking you to follow them, then I would advise you follow them. You don't have to be a mod to ask people to do so.
There is a Q&A section now that is for people's questions.
Thread Closed
The development section is not for questions, even if they are Dev related. Please post in the Q&A section. It is not my job to move threads around, you should post in the correct section.

Hey,
So I have been a regular visitor to this site for about 2 years now ever since I first rooted my HTC desire.
I have downloaded and tested many custom ROM's for the desire and the SGS2.
My recent favorite ROM is resurrection remix which i have been using various builds of since xmas. And only now do I have a question that no one has asked and I cant find an answer to.
Of course since I have never needed to post before when I tried to ask my question it wont let me because i have not made 10 useful comments. The only place I find useful comments is on the development forums. There is nothing specifically that I need from the other ares of the site and so I cannot offer any feedback that would be helpful to others there... the only place I can make useful comments is on the development forums, which is exactly where Im not allowed to make them.
So how does one get around that?
Luke
Probably not, but you can try contacting a moderator, the rule is there to avoid people joining and spamming the dev section with crap, if that isnt your plan they may be able to help you out.

Personally and apart from the spam issue the ten post thread in dev section is far to low a number one only has to read the inane posts from users with more than ten posts in many dev threads .
But how do you overcome the problem of a large amount of idiots posting who cannot be bothered to read the rules read the faqs or instructions and repetitively ask the same questions .it reflects badly on those who like the OP have taken time to read and learn as they are treated the same .
jje
That rule also stopped me in my tracks. But I can see the point on the development forums.
After the "no you can't" it encouraged me to look harder for answers and ask the (dum) questions on the general forum.
I realize the point is to avoid opening new threads for questions that might be better served in the appropriate development thread, but if you've searched and haven't found your answer I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to post one in Q&A or General, but make sure you exhausted all search options before you do.
Same for me...To be honest I wanted to answer questions and help members, not to ask myself but... I see the point of the rule, there are too many people that will ask (dum) Q without even bothering to use the search tool and filling the threads with crap when there is no need to...
Solution:
make thread about it.
Answer all who replys

Unfortunately, there will be some people (a minority) affected by this rule who probably shouldn't be (those who wouldn't post crap to dev threads from the get go), but at the end of the day it goes some way to reducing the mountains of crap which get posted to dev threads every day (at least 75% of posts in my experience. I'm probably being generous).
Again unfortunately (for the people who would do the right thing if this rule wasn't in place), no system is perfect in this regard. Frankly, I'd rather have the current system in place as opposed to making things open slather. Changing the current rule would make an already bad situation even worse IMHO.
Edit to add - As was suggested on the first page of this thread, you can always plead your case to a mod if you think the rule shouldn't apply to you for whatever reason.
Further edit - Poster above me. Your recent post in Q&A is a prime example of the type of post which should not be cluttering a dev thread. It is a general question, and not specific to a particular rom.

A great example of the mountains of crap that spew out of many of the users (if you look in there I'm sure I'm guilty too) in this forum, check out the CM9 discussion thread, imagine if that was in the dev thread, how would codeworkx and the others ever find anything that might be relevant?

This is true too, when I started I felt handcuffed by the 10 post limit, but I spent a little time reading posts and using the knowledge I gained to help out others and my post (and thanks) count quickly increased well beyond the limit. Helping others also gave me more understanding to be able to troubleshoot my own problems.
Yep that's exactly right Thracemerin, a perfect example.
I dread getting home from work & having to scroll thru 18 hrs worth/sometimes up to 40 pages of posts in the CM9 discussion thread & 90% of them are utter crap.
You're right, if it were in the dev thread, I think Codeworkx, Xplodwild et al would have given up ages ago.

Apologies I stand corrected, I thought it would be ROM related as the only info I could find through search was about adding poweron.ogg to system/etc and making sure permissions are set correctly and this is not working for me.

I can see the point to it cutting down a number of people who would make useless comments, although the development forums are still littered with idiots who type before they think or even look around for a solution.
OK I'm off to trawl the forums to see who I can help!

Very simple 99% of posts just need a reply read the f4444 instructions first .

In the stickies on this forum is help for rebooting prooblems and so you think you've bricked your phone. Yet there constantly appears postings about phone rebooting and Please Help I've Bricked My Phone, and by far most of these it is the poster's first posting.
Maybe the rule should be that you cannot start a new thread, in any forum, until you have 10 posts. Every forum has a FAQ thread that they can post on if they have searched on here and can't find anything.
Someone selling a S3 for £100 but said it needs jtagged said its a easy fix Am guessing they bricked it so just wanted to know if it can be fixed and worth the £100 or am I best staying away
Stay away unless he's a very very very good friend!
Seriously you may well be dropping a ton on a device that is completely dead, but you might be able to break it up for profit, the screen/digitizer costs more than that but it really is up to you at the end of the day, it's a shot in the dark
Thanksss ill leave it then i was wondering if its so cheap to fix why they didn't get it done them selfs

Not supposed to help here the guy is pointing out the correct thread for help .
But in my opinion it would be far better to either rename General to Questions and Answers or just have an open forum where everything is mixed up under one label making it even harder to find anything .
But it also reads as a number of users would prefer utter chaos and no rules .
Their is a significant rise in bricked help lost IMEI posts all due to complete failure to bother reading the rules or even the basic faqs and guides .
Sh**** if a user cannot post correctly how on earth are they going to flash without bricking .

The polite way is to answer the question, then point out it's in the wrong section, rather than just spam "post in Q&A" to force your post count up, at least 500 of his posts (assuming they don't get deleted) are "post in the right section" with no help at all.
You two forum police will do much better if you offer help whilst informing them they are in the wrong section.
they need to learn that they will get help if they follow the rules

But if you just spam "post in the right section" it just makes you look like an ass, you are showing no desire to help, just boss everyone around and call them out in public, you can at least send them a PM something along the lines of "I have reported your post regarding xxx question to the moderators so it can be moved to the correct section, in future please post questions in the Q&A section."
This post accomplishes the same thing without basically shouting "GTFO YOU NOOB!!!" that is basically what you put across whenever you post in these question threads.

Thats where you are wrong i am afraid .
The posts arrive in General section as users are to lazy to read the rules and far to lazy to bother to read faqs and guides . The majority just want a quick fix and care nothing at all about what XDA was or should be .
Glenbun takes a months holiday and we will still get multiple bad post jeez as i type this there are probably three more bad posts .
End result is a forum that's hard to navigate hard to find anything as the good stuff is hidden under piles of rubbish piling up on a daily basis and that's what noobs complain about what is basically their own mess .
Time in my view for a serious review of the rules and the layout as neither really work .
Multiple experienced users no longer bother to even read these non development forums .

Instead of spaming the thread just report the post and tell the mods to move it to QaA thread. No need to talk about that.
Thread moved to Q&A

hey guys, I have a question : i have a galaxy s2 phone bought from france, but now i'm in lebanon and i need to use it with a lebanese sim card. the problem is that lebanese cell companies have restricted the use of cell phones that do not have their imei registrated with their companies. Is there a way i could unlock my phone to work with a lebanese sim ? Or should i say unlock the sim ?
I am very confused, if someone could explain to me how this lock works and how to get my phone working in lebanon. Thank you very much in advance !!
Based on your description of the issue, it sounds like you can't do much (or anything) on your end of things... If the carrier requires an IMEI registration, it wouldn't matter whether your phone is unlocked or not, since the carrier still needs to recognize your IMEI. I don't know how the process works, but I would guess you'll need to talk to the carrier about having your phone "registered".
I have to say, their policy is quite retarded, if that's true...
Are you serious?
There is clearly a [Q] here, so don't you think that Q&A is the appropriate subforum?!
Also you when you categorized your thread as a question thread, you probably got a popup message stating that you're about to break forum rules by posting the thread in the wrong subforum, but you still went on and posted it here anyway.
Not to mention that there's a sticky thread on top of this subforum saying that this, what you have done, is against forum rules.

Join date for TheMasterOfToast: 7 June 2013. Before you start trying to throw your weight around & flame another junior member (of which you are also one), please stick around a little while first. See how the forum works. Help out where you can. And by 'help', that doesn't include flaming.

Okay, first of all, let me just state that this post was, before i reported it, in the Galaxy S II General subforum.
Second, just because my join date is recent doesnt mean im a complete idiot that can't read rules and start my period on new forums by breaking rules, there are plenty of people out there who knows to read rules before entering a forum..
Also, how is this flaming?! Please explain.
I was simply telling this member that he was breaking forum rules, maybe a bit harsh or not, since you get several warnins in several ways if you're about to break forum rules.
At least it was a more interesting problem than the usual repetetive tripe that appears on here.
Ive not heard of the OP's problem before.
Correct, having a recent join date doesn't mean you're an idiot, that's not what I said. Thanks for reading the forum rules, not many do. Flaming is verbally attacking someone, so technically, maybe you could class it as not flaming. Either way, it's a harsh way to enter a forum with that kind of greeting. True the OP may have posted in the incorrect section, but next time there's no need to be harsh about it. Apologies if I've over-reacted. End of discussion on my part, this isn't helping anyone.

I could understand that he bypassed sticky threads, or the he/she didn't actually read rules of posting. But i couldn't understand how he bypassed a popup warning that appears if you post a question in wrong subforum. So that's what got me angry.
But maybe i overreacted too, you cant expect anyone to know everything, even if you know that everything has some forms of rules, which you clearly should know about, otherwise there wouldn't be any rules
well i dont either want this to be an unrelated discussion, so i'll just say Im sorry for overreacting. To you Hopper and to OP (if he/she will even read this )
