I've already done repairs on my sgs1 when the home button died. And not long ago I replaced the headphone jack on my sgs2, but got something wrong so now it doesn't vibrate, and the phone ear speaker doesn't work so I have to take calls with headphones in or put it on speaker phone. What can I...

gapps installer link - file not found. none of the suggested alternatives look right to me. And the link next to it takes us to a a page where different versions are available but I get a timeout on the downloads. Can anyone link me to the gapps installer that works we 3.11.8 on sgs2? Ta

I've never had to mount my phone via usb from cwm, or if I did it was a long time ago and I've forgotten. So thanks for the tip. Anyway, plugged in to my Macbook Pro, booted to cwm and tried it - no dice. Guess my USB connection is broken. Might be time to upgrade to a newer phone anyway.

Still a problem on MIUI 3.11.1 Hoping someone else is running MIUI on SGS2 and can confirm this behaviour. My original post was about USB mount failing on my Dell PC at work. To test further I tried connecting my phone to my macbook at home this morning, using a different cable. Result is...

As per my previous thread (http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/sgs2-no-usb-mounting.22141/), this problem seems to have reappeared. On 3/10/25 and the release prior, I can charge via USB but no data connection. The Storage setting for Ask On Connection is still on, but the connection is not...

Seems 3.9.20 restored things back to normal. Working fine. Mods please mark resolved.

Hi I'm on i9100 SGS2. My Default USB Connection Type is set to "Ask on connection" (Storage settings). Was working fine, but yesterday I upgraded to 3.9.13 and now I am no longer prompted if I wish to mount USB or not when I plug in cable from PC. Tried changing settings to default of...

Installed 3.7.19 on sgs2, no other changes and immediately unable to connect to wifi. Anyone else?

Well, blow me down... must have accidentally triggered this and not realised. Cool. Thanks ingbrzy.

If phone is in airplane mode and rebooted I am prompted to switch off airplane mode, with no option to skip this step. So if I actually were on a plane I can't boot into airplane mode. Seems to undermine the whole point of having airplane mode, no? A bypass button would solve this problem.

Not sure what's triggering it, but since 3.5.31 I've had the colours "invert" of their own accord. They remain that way until restart. Most recent trigger was when disconnecting from PC (usb cable) - but I have done this plenty of times without colours inverting.

Well, I left phone on where it crashed until battery died. Plugged in to power, left charging overnight. Turned on this morning, same black screen. Left it on, went for shower, came back and phone had booted. No idea what the delay was nor how long it took. Hmmm Edit: Despite above, I...

In 4 days since I installed 3.5.31 I've had to reset (as in wipe cache, wipe data) my SGS2 twice because in normal use the phone locks up, and on restarting (hard power off or battery remove) it doesn't get past the initial firmware bootloader screen - i.e. fails to even get to the usual...

My mega battery drain (and overheating) issue on SGS2 seems partly resolved by resetting kernel to default in STweaks. Still not perfect but better. I tried Dorimanx but it doesn't seem to like TouchPal keyboard. And my phone froze up for no obvious reason. Edit: actually, no. I went from...

I've noticed significantly quicker battery drain compared to 3.5.10 on my SGS2. As in, bad enough to consider rolling back. Anyone else able to confirm the same?
