galaxy s2

In the service manual for Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F), step number four in the flow chart for troubleshooting power-on issue is to check the voltage level of a "signal". I had a very hard time locating this. I didn't understand what it means to check for voltage of something by its signal name, and...

Hi, my Galaxy S2 was working great with KitKat that I flashed and then thought why not try a new LiniageOS. That Rom failed to install and I figured I would try an updated TWRP recovery. I tried the newest version and it failed to install. It warned me I had no rom installed on reboot but I...

So the other day I was using my phone (normal usage) and suddenly while using Whatsapp, the phone froze and wasn't responding at all. Finding no other way to use it or turn it off, I proceeded by pulling out the battery and ever since it has not booted back up or even charges. The only sign of...

Hello guys So I have been researching recently and there are a lot of people who replace their screens and I saw hints of people replacing the chrome trim/frame around the S2. But I had the Idea of removing the original frame (the chrome thing) and painting it. Just for personal purposes. All I...

So I was wondering, is there any way to connect USB headphones to the Galaxy S2 GT-i9100? I got a nice Logitech G930 so I was wondering if there is a way for it to replace the standard stock Samsung headphones I use right now. (if a custom ROM/kernel is needed, please let me know in detail)

I own an international SGS2 with Cyanogenmod 11. Would love to use FM radio. Tried Spirit FM light. Horrible. Would rather avoid to spend 5€ for unlocked version. How about extracting apk from original Samsung firmware? Should it work or not?

I've got a stock, un-branded European i9100 with a Vodafone SIM card in it.

Is there any way I can use my SGH-T989 as a Wifi Extender or anything close? The phone is disconnected, so tethering is not an option. So I thought why not use as an extender. I did do some searching but all I found just goes to normal tethering. Anyone have any options which can help? Thanks

Sorry, to be deleted!

My brother-in-law's SG2 won't boot. All it will do is show the "Samsung Galaxy SII" logo, then show the battery charging. If unplugged, the blue LED faintly lights then the phone does nothing. When plugged in, it shows the battery at 100% but the OS still won't boot. I got it into download mode...

Hello. I replaced my S2 with a Nexus 5 and gave it to my dad. But for some reason, after wiping everything and installing CM 10.1 stable and Apolo Kernel for him, the screen looks weird, dark, ultra saturated.

As a long time Android user and general nerd, I often hear from some of my friends about new and cool custom ROMs. It ranges from "amazing customization" to "blazing speed" and even "far better than anything stock in general". So this weekend I decided that since my warranty is no longer valid...

Anyone happen to know if my Galaxy S2 can use MHL with a 720p screen? My main TV reports that the signal from the MHL adapter is 1080p, but can that be changed or does the adapter auto-select a resolution? (I mean the Galaxy S2 is 480p) I'm thinking of buying a smaller TV for my bedroom but I...
