FAQ Post 1
[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]HTC Rezound (ADR6425/Vigor)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: I try to ask a question in a development thread, but I keep getting flamed or called a noob. Why?[/SIZE]
Respectfully, development threads located in the development forums for devices are not the right place to ask questions. You must first search using the sites search features for your answer. If an answer for your question cannot be found, then by all means please ask your question in the device forums "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" section. Which for the Rezound this section is found here: Rezound Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: I try to comment in my favorite developers thread in development, but I do not have 10 posts on XDA yet. What can I do?[/SIZE]
The 10 post rule is an XDA rule and will likely not change for the foreseeable future. It's intended purpose is to maintain cleanliness and order in our developers threads in the development section by preventing new members from asking questions that may have been answered already or posting random comments that are not development related in those threads. So what you can do is go to the question and answers section for your device to ask your questions (after searching of course), or, if you are knowledgeable enough, try to answer some of the questions you find in your device's forums or on XDA's questions and answers forums. You will gain your 10 posts soon enough, and even better, in the appropriate way.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: I want to learn more about the Rezound such as the device's specs, where can I find that info?[/SIZE]
You may visit HTC's official device page here (once it is made available again ), XDA's Wiki page for the HTC Rezound, or view the devices page on wikipedia HERE.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: Is the HTC Rezound "unlockable"?[/SIZE]
Yes. Please see HERE for more info on unlocking the bootloader. Note that the HTC Rezound is a Verizon global device, and is therefore not SIM locked in any way.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: Why does my screen go black when I'm on a phone call?[/SIZE]
Your proximity sensor is being incorrectly triggered. Most of the time, this is calibration problem rather than a sensor problem. To fix, download Chad0989's Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator app. You will see a "NEAR" reading on the screen. Slowly increase the High Threshold until you see a "FAR" reading. Increase the High Threshold by 3-5 more than it takes to trigger a "FAR" reading. Test the new settings by covering and uncovering the Verizon logo on the front of the phone. The reading should switch between NEAR and FAR. Check "Set on boot" and close the app. If this fix does not work for you, your proximity sensor is bad, and you will need to contact Verizon for a replacement phone.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: Why is my MicroSD card not being read or found by the device?[/SIZE]
Please ensure your MicroSD card is formatted properly to fat32. More info on properly formatting an sd card can be found by doing a simple search in Google.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: There is a bug in my favorite developers rom or other work. What can I do to help my developer?[/SIZE]
Developers LOVE it when users get involved in trying to help fix bugs. The best thing you can do is create a "logcat" of the bug and then use a service such as pastebin.com to paste the logcat and provide a link in the developers thread with a small description of the bug and how to replicate it. For more info on taking a logcat here are two links you should read to learn all you need about logcat.
Link 1: This is the official logcat guide straight from Google/Android. Click Here
Link 2: This is an awesome guide written by another XDA member. It is a great guide. Click Here
[SIZE=+1]Q8: What is a custom recovery?[/SIZE]
A custom recovery takes the place of HTC's stock recovery once you root your phone. There are three custom recoveries TWRP (team win recovery project), CWMR (ClockworkMod Recovery) and Amon RA. When choosing which recovery to use, read the ROM/kernel op that you want to flash, most of the time they will tell you which recovery is sorted for their project. In most cases any of the recoveries work just fine, so ultimately the choice is up to you, but if you decide to go with a recovery that the developer did not recommend, you may not recieve support in that developers thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: What is Wi-Fi Tether and how do I use it? (root only)[/SIZE]
Wi-Fi tether is used to share your phones data connection (3G/4G) with another WiFi enabled device. It is not recommended to use WiFi Tether as your primary home internet. Doing so could cause excessive data charges on your bill. For a more comprehensive explanation and how to install and use Click Here
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is ADB and how do I use it?[/SIZE]
Please see the official Google/Android ADB Guide
[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is the proper way to install a Rom?[/SIZE]
In almost every case the proper instructions for flashing a custom Rom will be posted in the ROM's OP. The typical instructions consist of downloading the ROM, transferring it to the root of your SD Card, Checking MD5 Sum, reboot to recovery, perform factory data reset, wipe system, data, dalvik cache, and cache, followed by installing the ROM from your external SD Card. Please do not report bugs to the developer if you have flashed the latest version of the ROM over the previous version without wiping or following the instructions properly. If you do have bugs and have not seen those bugs reported in the development thread for the ROM previously, please take a logcat as instructed in Q7 and report it to the developer.
This FAQ is by no means in order or complete.
The FAQ will be an on going project. With the help from the Rezound community we can work to make it more informative.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE IMPROVEMENTS OR MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE FAQ.

Very good post. I find it very general though. It might be good idea to have it posted in other threads. I think a lot of people could benefit from this information. Even people who aren't using rezounds.

Ideally this is the exact point. To be a 'general' FAQ for the Rezound. If you venture into other device subforums you will find they too also have the same general FAQ. Of course with relavent info for each specific device.
Also, Recognized Developers are allowed to start FAQ/Q&A threads in the Q&A section which should extend their Rom threads in the Development section. Since this is a relatively new program, not many of the devs know about it.

Excellent FAQ - thanks!

[Q] [MOD][ROM][ODIN] RTL+Root (Arabic/Hebrew..) support on your Stock AT&T SGS2

Hi.
Does anybody succeed to install the rom:
[MOD][ROM][ODIN] RTL+Root (Arabic/Hebrew..) support on your Stock AT&T SGS2 from the development section?

I'm pretty sure you'll get a better response by posting this question in the thread itself.

I have no permission to post there yet.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by permission but you can post under that rom. People using it will see it and will be able to give you a hand

Open a new thread with an appropriate title indicating your issue. Just go with one at a time as I see at least 4 to 5 questions in your one post.
And why to root and boot animation are easily found by searching the forums/Internet. A new thread is not needed for them.

2.- No swearing in this thread.

Recognized Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognized Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognized Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognized Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application, they are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
RC - RT Committee - as above, but for Contributor and Themer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Contrary to what a lot of people expect, the thanks-meter does not figure at all in determining a users tag.

Ok my question:
My baseband-version of my ICS-version is i19100BULP6
So my number is LP6
What does this mean?
Since almost all themes don't support LP6.
So my questions:
1. Why don't they support this version?
2. Are they ever going to support it?
3. If I flash a custom ROM will I be able to use the ICS Domination theme then?
Thanks

It means your modem is LP6

Baseband is NOT the firmware so you are looking at the wrong code for custom roms .

There is no need to get defencive about your question, not everyone on this forum will snap at you for asking a question, if members do just ignore them. I would say that your best bet is wait for the samsung Galaxy s III, also is your phone rooted have you tried diffrent roms and kernels, to improve the battery life of your Galaxy S II and you would be able to tinker with you cpu.

Help Needed for a complete NOOB
Hi all, new member as i just got a samsung galaxy S2!
Ok, so i have bought a sgs2 of a friend at work. He was messing with it(trying to root it, he thinks) and did something wrong and messed it up, so i bought it of him for very cheap to have a go at fixing it.

I can get into the download menu, but i cant get into the menu to do a factory reset. Another thing is it will not charge, when i plug it in to the mains or a pc it just comes up with a battery and a little circle inside it, but dosnt move and dosnt charge! O and yet another thing i dont now what firmware was on it before, but i no it was O2 if thats any help. If i have left anything out that you need to no, ill be hear all night trying to get this thing going! Is it even possible for this to be fixed as i had a good look threw this website and the internet and cant find anything about this. I can post pics if needed!
Thanks
Ps. i hope i have put this in the right place, If not please feel free to move or remove.

Ok so the yellow triangle means he tried to flash an inscure kernel, which is fine but you seem to have got into boot loop. When you connect the phone to the computer does the computer recognise the phone. If it does then you can flash a stock firmware from here all the instructions you need are on that website.

Settings --> About phone --> Build number. I suspect yours is LPC rather than LP6, but that's just a guess.

2). I can't answer this question definitively because I don't yet know your build number yet, but themes and mods tend to be released for popular ROMs, you can always change.
3). You can see in the relevant thread which ROMs are supported http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334922 which at the time of writing appears to be LP3, LPS, LP4, LP7, LP8, LP9.

So my next question is about wipes
You have different kind of wipes and I can't find anywhere what they mean..
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe dalvik cache
3. full wipe
4. wipe cache partition
5. when they say "wipe your date" what does that mean?
I would like to know what it removes and so if it deletes all my settings, files, or just cache.

1. Will wipe all of you apps, data, settings, e.t.c
2. That is to do with your apps and will do nothing to your phone that you will see, it is recomended that you wipe this when flashing rom or gapps as a make sure.
3. Same a the first
4. This will wipe a number of files, but nothing that you will see.
5. When they say wipe your data they mean 1 and 4, sometimes 2 if you are flashing Gapps

You have different kind of wipes and I can't find anywhere what they mean..
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe dalvik cache
3. full wipe
4. wipe cache partition
5. when they say "wipe your date" what does that mean?
I would like to know what it removes and so if it deletes all my settings, files, or just cache.

There is no need to get defencive about your question, not everyone on this forum will snap at you for asking a question, if members do just ignore them. I would say that your best bet is wait for the samsung Galaxy s III, also is your phone rooted have you tried diffrent roms and kernels, to improve the battery life of your Galaxy S II and you would be able to tinker with you cpu.

You may receive personal suggestions from the members based on their experience on the different ROM, but XDA moderaters dont like this question since there are lot of hardworks being made by the Developers during cooking of their ROM, all have got their own features, you have to test them untill you find a best for you....

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Samsung Galaxy S II I9100[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]*NOTICE* To put an end to some of the unneeded posts in this thread, this thread will be remaining locked. If there's anything which needs to be added to this FAQ, please PM me and I'll get back to you ASAP![/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: What's the difference between "Development" and "Original Development"?[/SIZE]
Here are the rough guidelines as to what should be placed in "Original Development":
*Official release of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them).
*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
*A significant "first" in development for a device. This is something which took considerable time/effort and is generally accepted by developers to be non-trivial.
*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available.
*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to the users of the target device.
All other development work goes into "Android Development".
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I root my phone?[/SIZE]
There are a few different ways you can root your phone. Below are a couple of threads to help you successfully root your SII;
CF-ROOT 5.6 - This is a rooted kernel which will root your stock firmware and add busybox & ClockWorkMod recovery onto your device.
ROOT/UNROOT stock firmware without flashing insecure kernel - This simply roots your stock kernel so you don't have to flash a different kernel to your device.
Universal Rooting for most phones [ICS/JB] - This thread lists other methods to root your device, which I have not written here.
*NOTE* Always be sure to double check everything you read and follow the instructions carefully.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: What are download mode and recovery and how can I enter them?[/SIZE]
Download mode and recovery are very important in the rooting world and you will likely hear a lot about them.
Read the following thread to get a brief description of what they are and how to enter them - What is recovery and download mode?
[SIZE=+1]Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?[/SIZE]
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: How can I fix a boot loop/ how can I recover from a soft bricked phone?[/SIZE]
Fixing a boot loop is really easy and straightforward. All you have to do is boot into recovery, wipe cache partition and then go to Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, wipe data/factory reset and then boot up your phone.
If you are soft bricked, simply read and follow the instructions of the following thread and you'll soon recover your device - Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: What is the best ROM/kernel/modem?[/SIZE]
Honestly, there is no "best". It's all based on personal choice. For example; I may like heavily customizing my ROMs whereas you may like it to look at basic as possible. The best thing you can do is to just test out different ROMs/kernels/modems and see which you prefer.
Also, please don't ask which is the best because your post will likely be deleted as it's against forum rules to ask that question.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: What does dual-booting mean?[/SIZE]
Dual-booting allows you to run 2 different ROMs on your device at the same time. In doing so, it means rather than having to restore old backups or keep flashing between different ROMs, you can simply switch between the 2 you want to use.
Read the following thread for more details on dual-booting and how to dual-boot - How To Dual Boot Using Siyah Kernel.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: I hear a lot about ADB. What is it?[/SIZE]
Find out everything you need to know by reading the following thread - ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: Am I required to backup my ROM before flashing anything else?[/SIZE]
No you're not, but it is definitely a good idea because if you don't do a backup and then something goes wrong, it means that you'll lose all your apps, data etc. It just saves a lot of hassle.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: Why is my battery running out so quickly?[/SIZE]
If you had bad battery life from the moment you got the phone then you're best options are either to buy a new battery OR send your phone to be repaired.
If, however, you used to have good battery life but now it's poor it could be because of a few different reasons. Either you overuse your phone and don't charge it enough, you may have too many apps installed, it could be because of the ROM or kernel you're using etc.
Try troubleshooting the problem, so if you have a lot of apps (for example), uninstall some of them and see if it helps.
If you'd like to analyze your battery stats and optimize your battery life, please check out the BetterBatteryStats thread.
For some more general tips on how to increase battery life, read the following thread - Battery Saving Tips.

[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is the difference between the different Samsung Galaxy SII models?[/SIZE]
The main differences are hardware and region. Some variations will have better hardware than others. Some will have a slightly different look to the body of the phone itself. Some are also specific to certain carriers. To learn more about the Galaxy SII variants, please read the following link - Samsung Galaxy SII variants.
*NOTE* If you have a device other than Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 then this FAQ is not suited to you.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: My phone cannot make calls, send messages or use mobile data. I found my IMEI as missing or starting with 0049. What do I do?[/SIZE]

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added it to the OP

I've updated the FAQ with Q1 and therefore moved all other questions down the list. Although the question isn't device specific, it still gets asked enough in this forum to warrant me adding it to the FAQ

Add a question in FAQ
Please add the solution for call recording in S2.
