Just the other day my friend gave me his old S2 Skyrocket since he decided to get the new S4. This is my first Android ever * AND I LOVE IT* I switched from an iPhone and the amount of improvement is just AMAZING! :D

BUT, one of the only things I seem to be having trouble with is Kies. Basically all I want to do with it is transfer music but I can't even connect. All the drivers install and everything but it just says "Connecting..." and never goes any farther. I've tried the troubleshooter but it didn't help at all. The only reason I need Kies is music so if anyone has a solution or maybe a better alternative please tell lol. I would just copy/paste to my Music folder but I have so much music it would take forever to look through it all and decide what goes and what stays. Help please? :)

EDIT: OH! and I forgot to mention it's running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 deodexed so could that have anything to do with the problem? ]]> Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Ryan6700 http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket/279799-samsung-galaxy-s2-sr-kies-derp.html Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and Email Notifications http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket/279657-jelly-bean-4-1-2-email-notifications-new-post.html Thu, 16 May 2013 16:00:53 GMT Hi:

I have my email notifications on with a ringtone setup to go off if I get an email. Problem is I'm getting emails but I haven't gotten any tone since I updated to 4.1.2.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks.

I am in need of some help with my SII Skyrocket.

I recently replaced the battery as it went from 92% charge to 7% in about 15 seconds, and could not hold any charge. Right from this moment, even before replacing the battery but after the battery had the problem, I am having an issue with the screen.

Check this video on Youtube so that you can understand it:




The phone is constantly making that sound, as if it is being connected to a charger/usb cable. When this is happening, the screen turns unresponsive to long-presses, and has issues to recognize regular touch features. I have noticed that this does not happen so often when it has almost full charge (maybe 90% or more), but still happens. When the phone is plugged to the charger, the issue ussualy dissappears after a few minutes. I have restored the phone's software, but the problem persists.

If anyone had this problem or has any idea what could be causing it, I would really appreciate it.

Is there an app that backs up everything? I want something that not only backs up apps and info, but the phone's layout, screens, etc. Anything out there like that?

Thanks.

The installation must have failed, because it never booted... Hi all,

Today I attempted to upgrade from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean on an SGH-i727. The installation must have failed, because it never booted properly. When I reset (either battery pull or hold power), it shows the new AT&T logo, goes through 5 - 10 minutes of "Android is Updating - Optimizing Applications" (I have a lot of apps). Then it goes back to the AT&T logo and stays there. I haven't waited for hours at this screen, but it seems like it's frozen here.

I did the upgrade through Kies. I backed up my contacts, but there are a few things that didn't get backed up, so I want to avoid a factory restore if possible.

What do I do? Is there a way to salvage my data?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Since posting, I installed ADB on my PC...I feel like I'm close but I could really use some advice. I don't know if it's possible to communicate with a phone that doesn't fully boot, and even though I can boot the phone into reset mode, the computer doesn't recognize it. I still don't know what my next step is, but I'm thinking fastboot or TWRP...not really sure, all of this is new to me. It's been 6 hours and no reply...is this the wrong place to ask for help? Sorry to sound like such a n00b, but any help is hugely appreciated. ]]> Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SPThirtyThree http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket/272819-galaxy-sii-skyrocket-boot-loop-after-jelly-bean-upgrade.html
