Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G

[jasperdog]

How do you transfer your files from PC phone. ...
There could be problem...
To give right answer I need more information. ..??
I have run on this issue before ...

Success is never final
Failure is fatal

I used a few methods. I would connect the usb cable , then mount the phone on my computer and locate the micro sd card then drag them to the music folder . I would use WIFI and transfer them by using iTunes ( and a playlist) , Airsync and doubleTwist softwares..


The only thing i didn't do yet is swap out my 32gb SDmicro card for a different one. I doubt the card is bad because i did reformat it . Pictures and movies work fine on the card.

thanks for trying to help !!

Any suggestions on why my keyboard dies when I flash the Gapps package for the CM 10.1?

Well tbh, not really. BUT, if it were me, the first thing I'd try is to clear cache and data for the keyboard in the applications manager under settings. Then set your defaults back up again. If that didn't work I'd try downloading gapps again from a different site and double check the md5 sum

Ok. So I flashed in the CM10 but when I flash in the Gapps it kills both my android (AOSP) keyboard and my back button. Suggestions?????

You have the wrong gapps version if you have the newest nightly you need the newer gapps

I downloaded the package off the op page. If that's not the right one can you please provide a link to the right one?
Also,I did all three wipes per the directions but they don't seem to be doing what they are supposed to because when I goto playstore online my apps still read as installed. When I try to download some thing it downloads to the stock Rom. The download doesn't even show up on the CM 10 Rom.??????????

The GAPPS that were in the OP were for 4.2, and clearly stated so. I have replaced the link with one that goes to the main download page for GAPPS. Just go there and get the correct ones for whatever Android version you're using.

Thank you Mr. Cook. Followed the link and think I got the right one now.

Given my past camera issue which is I believe was in the vast minority... Anybody think that replacing the camrra.apk (version 1.5) with one of the newer camera apk's would cause any issue with the camera hardware causing a failure or what not?

That are advanced users and like to go in unknown ways to push this device to unknown possibilities...
Just be sure to know that some experimental things will give you

Can anyone help me unbrick?

Hey, I soft bricked my straight talk s2. I rooted with framaroot then flashed a cwm kernel that I thought was for this phone and it soft bricked. Can anyone help me. I don't have access to a computer, so I need something that is flashable thru the stock recovery.

 

[woodsninja]

I've lost data. I had it when I went to bed and it was gone in the morning. I have talk and text but nothing else.
I've tried resetting the APN and totally reflashing the cm10.2.

Can't help you there. That's why i don't like cm. Too buggy. Why not try something a little more reliable (and sexier inmho)?

Do you still not have access to a computer?

I would highly recommend upgrading your phone to jelly bean. Gingerbread is so old many apps don't even support it anymore

Nope. No access to a pc.

Nope. No access to a pc.

Hmmm...ok. What are u using to post here? And does it have a removable sd card that will fit in your phone?
