Hi,
This is my first post on xda-developers. You guys are doing a great work. I am a newbie when it comes to android so I would really appreciate if you guys consider than in your replies.
I have a Galaxy S2 international version and I installed official ICS by directly updating the phone from settings using wifi/carrier network to download. First two downloads worked fine (240s MB & less than 20 MB). 3rd update file downloaded successfully (it was 100-150 MB). I installed it and it gave some error during installation about some file missing on SD card. But it completed successfully anyhow
Now the phone works fine except these two problems I found so far
1- Some kind of system information on home screen which wont go away and appears over any wallpaper I choose (screenshot attached)
2- Swipe/patter unlock etc don't work even when I choose them in settings. Phone just unlocks when I press the power button.
Now I know this might have been caused by a corrupt download but please tell me some steps to solve this problem. I want to do this without rooting the device and want to install only an official ROM. Also is there a way to recover it without having to backup everything and resetting the phone ?
Thanks

Any one getting samsung apps update on their phone
when i try installing it.. fails.. any suggestions..i tried clearing cache and deleteing data and also unistalling previous updates.. still no go
What kind of updates ? Are you referring to the Samsung Apps aplication or to a certain app inside the Samsung Apps ? I updated my Samsung Apps with no problems first time when i logged into it when i bought the phone.
Edit: Yeah, i got it just now. From 2.5.039, i updated to 2.6.018 with no problems. Downloaded the 3.9 MB and installed it easily.

Yeah, first you get UNAService.Worked for me, i'm on Vodafone branded KE5, no root. Try through wi-fi or through phone's data connection if you tried through wi-fi already.
Might be affected by custom rom or root.
I have rooted GS2 with Lite'ning ROM and mine failed on the UNAService just now. I will try via wifi at home later.
tried on wifi ..didnt work..will try on data now..could be due to custom rom ??
Hmm, might be cause of a process you froze ? Looks like that UNAS thing updated com.sec.android.app.samsung.
everything defrost..tried on wifi/data..still no g0
I had that problem and to do the update I did the following:
1 - made the update and Samsung apps updated without problems but UNAService failed to install
2 - made a backup of com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una with Titanium backup
3 - deleted the file com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una with Titanium backup
4 - restarted Samsung apps, and its working fine and updated to latest version
I hope it helps.
Hi after delete file using titanium backup samsung apps work but dont want to update :/ can you paste here your una file ? I have una 2.0.9
I thought they updated these through the roms only. Who uses the crap anyways.
I have the same problema on VR 2.0
i have found out through testing that this problem occurs when using custom roms.. using stock + root has no problems..
samsung apps comes handy when samsung releases firmwares for cameras, etc or minor updates..also some premium/paid apps are at times available for free ..so i wudnt say its that much of a crap..
UNAService not installing on S2 GT-I9100
Hi guys,
I've just purchased the Samsung S ii (i9100) and I'm trying to open Samsung Apps. Just to make things clear, I have the manufactures ROM without root.
Upon opening Samsung Apps, it tries to update (version on the phone is 2.5.024). It firstly downloads the UNAService and tries to install. It then complains "Application not installed". I press done and it downloads and installs the "Samsung Apps" update "successfully" (to 2.6.114).
Now when I open "Samsung Apps" it says it needs to update. So i press of and for a split second it starts the UNAService download then it all shuts and I'm back at my home screen. Nothing I can do...
If anyone can help me as to why this isn't working on a stock S2 without root... Seems like it should be the most likely scenario for manufacturers software...
Thanks in advance for any info

Hey guys,
I hope someone will know the answer to my problems, I'll try to keep this short. (English is not my first language so excuse me for any mistakes I make).
Around 2 months ago I couldn't connect to my wifi, I tried everything, but eventually I thought the only solution was to factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S2.
That turned out to be a stupid decision. I made a back up of my media files, so those were safe. But the option to make a back up of your contacts using google didn't work, so I lost all my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages.
Factory resetting my phone was the solution to the wifi problem though, so I was happy with that. And in the mean time I've gotten a lot of my contacts back, so that's not that kind of a big issue to me anymore.
But now I have a new problem. My phone can't update it's firmware anymore. I've tried using the update function from the phone, but it says it can't connect to the server. And using KIES, it says that the phone can't be updated as well. Now it's running on 2.3.5 and I'd really like to get the new OS available. (This is problem #1).
Problem #2 is the fact that in the last few days my battery has been incredibly weak. Normally I could last 1,5 days to 2 days with a fully charged battery, but now it seems to only last about 4-6 hours. The phone seemed to be a lot warmer as well.
I've tried to find a solution for problem #1, and all I could find is that maybe the factory reset changed the settings of which country your phone is from (I'm from the Netherlands), and that this is the reason why I can't update my phone.
In the thread I found they were talking about using #1234# and checking the codes there, but when I use this my phone displays (translated) ''connection problem or wrong MMI-code''. So I can't check if the data changed after the factory reset.
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance.
Hello there mate.
Im not a dev or something but from different cases that i've seen with many GS2 phones i think i can help you ( i hope at least ).
First of all i think you can easily update with odin to the new ICS firmware Samsung has for GS2.( If you use windows 7 run as administirator )
You can find many tutorials on youtube of how to do that.
Remember to back up all of your data before updating because they will be erased.
After installing fresh ICS firmware (official 4.0.3) you will need to do a factory reset.
Now for your second problem i think it might be an app problem which requires power from your CPU and that's why your phone is overheating and the battery is draining that fast.
I would suggest after using an app to kill it via the task manager so it won't run at the background demanding dedication from the system.
If that doesn't work also try re-installing all of your apps.
Hope you find this kinda useful friend and solve your problems.Take care
Thanks for the reply!
But before I upgrade with odin, don't I need to know the codes (representing where your phone is from etc.)?
I've found them under settings. They are:
Baseband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number:GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3.
And how do I backup all my files? Especially contacts, text messages and whatsapp messages?
No problem ! Im glad that you found my info somehow helpful!
Now as i said earlier im not that kind of expert so giving the current sittuation i don't really know. You should search on the internet for your firmware available for your country and also you can search at sammobile.com then go to firmwares then select the Smartphone option then Android and you should be good to choose the firmware and download it for your region/country. ( Terribly sorry for not giving a link but xda forums are saying that i need more than 10 posts to post a link.
So good luck with that one :good:
I never tried it myself but i've seen that people backup their contacts,texts and apps with KIES so you should give it a try :good:
Either than that,this is all i know and im really sorry if i can't help you any further as im new here too
Alright thanks for the help.
I made a backup of my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages on my SD card. I'm almost gonna start using Odin. (You don't need a rooted device in order for Odin to work, right?). And I also only got a .tar file from the downloaded package from Sammobile.com, is that all I need?
I'll post the results
Yes Odin will work with unrooted and rooted devices!
I don't know if that's the file, i would do a little search before updating about the files and remember to watch a video on youtube to help you with the process !
Things to remember : If you are on windows vista/7 run Odin as administirator
After installing the firmware do a factory reset / clear cache
Good luck! I hope somebody more experienced than me will help you better than i did . :good:
Haha alright thanks for the help.
I used Odin this afternoon, with succes! I updated to 4.0.3 (only using the .tar file) and after that I factory reset my phone.
Also, I managed to succesfully retain my text/whatsappp messages + contacts, so everything's fine.
I'm going to try out my phone for a couple of days and I'll report if anythings wrong with it.
Really glad that things went in the right direction for you
Just a quick thought now, our Samsung Galaxy S2 will get a new update to 4.0.4 which is reported to be far better than the current one and will be available on the upcoming weeks so be prepared to do another update
But anyway you did a great job! :good:
UNIT : Samsung SIII SHV - E210S
Problem:
1. Camera, when you clicked on camera it shuts down and says "Security Policy resrticts the use of Camera"
2. Memory Card - Micro SD is mounted but when booted you can't see the icon on My Files also you can't browse the contents of the memory card but when in download mode / restore mode it reads it.
3. Bluetooth - Icon or setting is there but when you click it on it does not turn into green or won't turn on.
4. On the Drop down menu there's a notification that says "Please install MDM" - i tried installing MDM but when the app is installed it prompts for a "company site code"
Possible Solutions that already tried
1. Restored the phone to it's original state on Device Recovery Mode (Factory Reset) nothing happened
2. Flashed a custom rom (OCHIE ROM) but still the "Please install MDM" on the drop down prompts it and same issues, Cam+MMC+BT restricted
3. Flashed custom kernel (Berzebb), nothing happened "Please install MDM" on the drop down prompts it and same issues, Cam+MMC+BT restricted
4. Tried to locate the Application that restricts the use of the following features by using Titanium Backup PRO and was able to locate 1 app that says DM manager, tried to kill the app using Titanium backup and was able to remove the notification "Please install MDM" on the drop down menu but still same problem Cam+MMC+BT restricted.
** Anyone who can suggest remedies please post on this thread. you're reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Currently I have these settings:
Software number: 4.1.2
Kernel version: 3.0.72-Berrzebb-SGS3-JB-1.8
Baseband version: E210SKSMD2
Build number: JZO54K.E210SKSJMF1

Hi
I have a galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running Android 4.1.2 and for the past week or so it keeps crashing and also randomly turning itself on and off. I have removed all apps I have put on it in the last few weeks but this hasn't solved the problem. I also normally have power saving mode turned on but have turned this off as I though this might help but it didn't. I only have a fw extra apps installed and they are all popular ones so cant see that been the problem, I have a few songs on and about 3200 photos on it so was wondering if I have too many photos on it. The time at when the phone crashes or turns itself off is random n happens when im using any app and sometimes I it turning itself back on even though it hasnt even been used. This is a real annoyance for me and highly inconvenient so any help would me most appreciated. I am trying to avoid doing a hard reset as I dont want to have to set up the phone again and load on my apps n stuff. If anyone knows how to fix it or any ideas on what might work please let me know and if I havent given enough info please feel free to ask me more questions.
Thanks in Advance.

Factory reset from settings menu (backup your internal sd card to your pc first) and see if the problem still happens before you install any apps etc. You might benefit from updating to the latest stock rom via odin, read the sticky guides in general on how to do this.

I have done a factory reset and only installed what's app as it's essential and although it hasn't restarted it has crashed several times today and I had to then restart it anyway. Anyone else have any ideas?
Hello everyone. I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge (SM G935F) and i recently received the android 8.0.0 from samsung. Downloaded and installed directly via the cellphone.
But after updating i am getting this internet/connection drop issues a lot.
Now a lot of times when im connected in wifi or using the 4g mobile internet, im getting a lot of internet lag/drops. Example: at whatsapp, when i sens a message, the clock appears and only after a little rhe time the message is send.
Example 2: at facebook, somerimes it lags and takes too long to load the content (same happening in instagram). Or at clash of clans, it is showing that symbol of internet issue.
Besides those internet bugs/lags, the android 8.0.0 is ok.
I already did a factory reset yesterday via the phone, and saved the files with smart switch. But the problem persists. I also checked and my wifi internet and my mobile internet are ok.
Does anyone knows how to fix this issue? Is there a newer version of the ROM, maybe? Or if not, is ir possible to downgrade to android 7 again (really wouldnt like this option but....)?
If anyone could help that would be great. But for the record:im really newbie at android stuffs....if you can help, please could you explain step by step?
Thanks everyone

I have the same phone but in my region the OTA 8.0 upgrade didn't arrive yet so I took a french official 8.0 for SM-G935F and installed it. After about one week I can tell it works like a charm and even better than before with the Marshmallow firmware. I don't see a solution with your specific connection problem but I can try to find and bring you the OS that I downloaded and used if you want.

NO, i can't seem to remember where i downloaded the firmware from, but I am sure it wasn't from Sammobile because it take ages to download. But I still have it on my laptop so I'm uploading the .rar on mediafire.
All you have to do:
Get Odin
Get the ROM (extract it separately, you should see the AP, BL, CP, CSC components)
Cause I am a new user on the forum it doesn't allow me to post external links so let's get around that:
type in w w w. mediafire . com /file / tx3676bj71vz17f/G935FXXU2ERD5_G935FOXA2ERD5_BTU.zip (copy paste and remove all the spaces)
Activate USB debugging (google that, you can get it in 30 secs)
press and hold power+home_button+volum_down then press volume_up when it asks you to confirm that you know what you're doing.
Open Odin, you should see that your phone is recognized (in the top left rectangle it shows COM something.
Add the AP, BL, CP and CSC from the folder to Odin by pressing the specific buttons and then selecting them, wait between them if necessary, it will tell you.
Make sure re partition is not ticked in the options tab.
after everytihng is ready, click start and wait some time.
When it is done you should see PASS in green and your phone restarting.\
From there you just have to configure your new OS. Bare in mind that you should know the google acc and password that you had on the phone before, else it will get FRP locked.
Hope this helps, If you have any questions feel free to ask.
