Do any one have performance issue with Samsung Galaxy S duos s7562.
I am very much disappointed with my device as it will get stuck on screen. Huge Lag time. Will take time to go to application after clicking on icon. Cannot play HD videos. While receiving calls the screen will go black, You can hear the ring but cannot see anything on screen. Any help will be appreciated. :(

how do you download apps from device? i am unable to download applications. tell me

I just received my S7562 today. And indeed there is a very noticible lag the moment you activate power savings.

I'm also having some problems;

1) the phone is still not showing up in the devices list on Google Play, but I can download apps from the device itself

2) It does not have an option for "National Data Roaming". My SIM with the data connection, is on a provider which is an MVNO with its own network ID. As such the network ID of the SIM and the network ID of the network don't match and the device thinks its in roaming mode and disables data. Obviously I can enable "Data roaming", but that also enables data roaming out of the country which can be very costly!
My wifes Sony Xperia does have this option, as does Cyanogenmod

3) I'm hoping this phone can get rooted. I would love to get rid of the "TouchWiz" rubish and get a clean Android image. If I did not need the dual-sim functionality, I would have gotten something like the Galaxy Nexus instead :(

*Edit*
Issue 1 is solved, it just took some time to show up on Google Play.

Dialing & DUALSIM

Hi:

I'm thinking in to buy this phone.

How does the dialing work?
Does the phone ask about on which SIM you want to perfom the call or you need to set up the current sim in the status bar as other Samsung Duos?
Both options?

It has both options, at least partly: the usual Samsung Duos SIM-settings in the status bar and two buttons for the SIMs in the dialer-interface. Meaning it does not ask and uses the preset SIM when dialing from e.g. a contact, but you can press either button regardless of preset when using the dialer...

Thanks.

What happens if you select a contact number from the list? Can you choose the sim?

If you select a contact number found and chosen via the dialer, you can choose directly by pressing either button as seen in the screenshot.

Whenever there is a call-option that does not involve the dialer, the preset SIM is used.

Since the notification-bar is available anywhere, opening it to select the desired SIM before actually starting the call is no problem. But that is like the other Android Duos', so you probably know that... :)

I did some tests.

I booted the device with volume up, home and power key pressed. And when it started to vibrate I let go of the power key and I got a screen asking if I wanted to install a custom ROM. I started ODIN3 and it seems to recognize the device, but without a custom ROM I could not do much more.

I also was able to use adb to get a shell prompt, but without root access obviously.

I suspect a rooting similar to CF-Root for the S3 should be possible.

I did not succeed to get into recovery with that key-combination. Once I managed to start download-mode but that is supposed to react to Volume-Down, Home & Power... However, with adb there was no problem booting into recovery easily so I did not investigate that any further as that is sufficent for me.

Rooting by invoking an update.zip from recovery (3e) did not work because the signature verification failed. Loading CWM first to toggle sig. check off - I have not found any solution either to do that. So you are probably right that we need a custom kernel like CF-Root. Who would be capable and willing to look into that? (I did PM chainfire about it but maybe there are other developers who would look into that...)

Hi Voom,

Yes, your right. I meant to type Down, not Up. When you boot the phone that way you get the following;

Code:
Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.

If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.

Volume up: Continue
Volume down: Cancel (restart phone)

Pressing volume-up gives;

Code:
[ODIN3]
PRODUCT: GT-S7562
VERSION:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CUSTOM BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL

I don't think a Cyanogenmod ROM (or any clean AOSP ROM) will help us, as I don't think Cyanogenmod has support for dual-SIM phones, so you loose the functionality for which we bought a dual-sim phone. As such, I think our best hope is a way to root the existing ROM image.

Yes, as for a Custom ROM we would need something specifically made for the device; like there is now a Custom ROM for the Ace Duos.

What I meant was CWM RECOVERY though, to replace 3e as Recovery-Mini-OS, which gives the option to toggle signature verification, having turned that off there may be ways to flash an update.zip in order to root (like with the Ace Duos or Y Duos)...

Someone know what combination of keys we have to do for enter in recovery mode?:)

I have tried many many times but never managed to enter recovery mode by means of the devices buttons. With my Ace Duos - no Problem, works every time. With the S Duos: ???

It is supposed to be Volumen-Up - Home - Power - then release at vibration or at first glance of Samsung-Logo...

Connected to the PC with cmd adb reboot recovery no problem (needs adb on path, driver installed eg with Kies)

Hi again :)

Hi,
Press The following combination for booting into recovery. (Works fine for me)
Keep all of them pressed until you see the samsung logo and then release them all.

Vol. UP + Vol. Down + Home + Power On

CWM and Odin is attached. Flash this CWM package using odin (make sure you reboot your phone into download mode for using odin)

I'm NOT responsible for any brick or other mis-happening. I tested it all on my galaxy S duos and it works fine.

Edit : CWM 6 replaced with CWM 5and reuploaded. CWM 5 works much smoother for me.

Flashing CWM does not root the device by itself, or does it? If not, what did you use to root (I suppose by loading an update.zip, that can be loaded by deactivating sig check?)

Maybe you could provide a little step-by-step for rooting and all files necessary? Many of us are eagerly waiting to root the S Duos but you are the first person I have spotted claiming to have succeeded :)

Edit: More questions:
Will this work with non-Indian StockROMs? Is the CWM you posted specific for India?
Will this trigger the Flashcounter?
Will this inhibit OTA-Update making it necessary to flash future Updates from Samsung manually via Odin?

Press The following combination for booting into recovery. (Works fine for me)
Keep all of them pressed until you see the samsung logo and then release them all.

Vol. UP + Vol. Down + Home + Power On

:confused: How does one press Vol. UP and Vol Down simultaniously? They are constructed either-or, are they not?
:good:This indeed works, I am astonished ;)

After hours of trying the first step I still could not solve was to find a bootloader-driver that works under Win7 to connect to the device in bootloader-mode in the first place. Any help?

I used adb to push su and superuser.apk after booting into recovery.
But anyways, I will create a full guide for CWM and root.

Will this work with non-Indian StockROMs? Is the CWM you posted specific for India?
>> It should work because they all have the same hardware.

Will this trigger the Flash Counter?
>> Yes, it will.

Will this inhibit OTA-Update making it necessary to flash future Updates from Samsung manually via Odin?
>> I'm not sure about it but it should work because I connected my phone to KIES (after rooting and CWM) and it was working fine with it.

    Link2SD Working!

    Hey folks,

    Finally got Link2SD working properly on my rooted s7562.

    There are many guides out there so I'll just tell you what I did specifically for our phone to get it working.

    I used MiniTool Partition Wizard (on my Windows 7 laptop) to create the second partition on my 32GB micro sdcard. The important part is that it needs to be FAT32, and not Ext3 as most guides will recommend you use. Ext3 was what I tried originally without success. I was getting "read only" errors when trying to link to second partition.

    I haven't tried the Ext2 or Ext4. FAT32 worked so I'm happy.

    The native "Move to SD card" option in Link2SD does not work, (presumably because it's not natively supported on our phone) but the "Create link" option works fine. Which is what we want.

    I have moved (linked) a few apps over and tested they are working and all is good.

    Hope this helps some of you.

    Regards
    Keliuss

    P.S. Please feel free to thank me below. :)
