Please help!!! I recently purchased an iMac and i cant connect my SGS2 to it. everytime i connect storage it brings up iphoto but doesnt show my sd or any content. anyone out there with a iMac that can help?
I have debugging on by the way.

one of the reasons why you never buy apple stuff
they will do everything in their power to prevent you from buying soft/hardware from anyone but them

Try a different usb cable, different usb port, reboot pc and try a different pc. if none if these fix it it is the TP2 but to check if hardware or software you may need to do a hardreset.

so many thanks for you interest in found a solution, but I already try that too,
I don't use windows, I use osx or linux, when I connected the phone to any so, always ask "active sync, disk or share internet", but now, nothing happen, only change the battery charge light.
this is very weird for me, I really care my phone, is my baby , is my business tool my partner, without it I can not work, I mean, I realy care it, never a fall, never a strike, I don't understand what happen
PS: anybody sell a TP2?

Sorry I couldnt help you out bro... I know wha you mean about these devices... i go thru withdrawl if i leave my phone at home just to run to the store... lol...
I have a tmo tp2 im using right now i looking to get rid of it only because im on att and cant use 3g with the tmo phone.
dont have n e pix yet but its in really good condition. i have it in the silicon case bought from tmo and selling it with a 2gb micro sd. my father had a warrenty exchange right b4 he gave it to me. shoot me a pm if ur interested
This same exact thing happened to me on my Touch Pro 1. It just stopped working. I even called to get RMA info, but never got around to sending it back.
Then suddenly one day, it started working again. I have no idea why. One thing that I did notice though was that the contacts seemed to not work so well... like, if I pushed the cable to one side or another, I could get it to make contact... but eventually it started working just fine without any issues.
It's still one of the world's most compelling mysteries. It will unfortunately never be solved, since I have switched to a TP2.
Same exact issue as mine. I had to return mine. The new one worked perfectly. The reason I think mine went out was a 3rd party charger. Did you happen to use a 3rd party charger to charge your phone?

@fairct - its heating up when i put it for charging. even trying to start after it cools downs is of no help. it just doesnt start up. nothing at all shows up on screen, not even charging symbol when put for charging.
Hi
I really have no idea ! a repair shop did it for me, changed eMMC chip and after that phone turned on but IMEI was unrecognizable and he had to do some other thing to fix baseband, etc.

I bought it from USA.. And currently, I stay in India. Shipping from India to USA and getting it back itself would cost a lot. Thats why, checking for alternate solutions. I guess India Samsung will not replace with warranty..

You've to ask for repair it under the warranty, or ask for a new one...
If we were talking about some apple product, the warranty can bring you some problem, but Samsung is pretty legal with this cases.

Phone dead, cant turn on, no vibration

Hey all,
Like the title suggests, my phone has died and it doesn't vibrate when I press the on button.
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
On another note, is it possible to erase ALL my info remotely while my phone is in this state?
I'm concerned about my privacy and wanted to make sure all sensitive material is wiped before I send it off to get swapped out.
Thanks so much

Did you flash a ROM/kernel for a different phone?
If it says something like qhusb when you plug it into the computer, you probably can't wipe any of your info off of it.
Take the battery out for a few minutes then put it back and try turning it on.

Nope, I flashed a new ROM ages ago and it was working fine up until now.
So there's no way at all to wipe any data off my phone at this point?
PS. I did buy a micro usb dongle and it should be coming in 2 days...

I've never had to do it so I'm not too sure about wiping the data. Hopefully the dongle will work.

Don't worry about any of that, I know from a employee im very good friends with that when u send in your phone for repair all they do is basically wipe the entire phone clean and do a complete reflash, no need to worry they rarely ever even turn them on, just hook it to there system and "refurbish"

Just another quick question,
If they cant fix the hardware, do they just smash the motherboard/phone?
Because in my case its probably a bad motherboard or some other hardware component

No they use pieces for another "refurbish" phone believe it or not, 9 times out of 10 theres nothing they can't fix, unless u really damage the hardware, it's very hard to kill the motherboard with software, u may render it unusable, but with there system it's just a matter of connecting it, wiping everything and flashing a stock img back on the device, in effect - new screen, new img., new plastic= "refurbished" phone lol

Again, thanks for the info
It's funny because it's true lol all these"refurbished" phones are just ppls old broken bricked devices if u ever do send a phone back here's a little funny, take a red pen and inside the battery compartment make a small dot or something that only u know is there, that way when u get it back u can laugh, because 99.9% of the time it's a completely different device lol

[Q] {NEED HELP} Just bought Note 2 4G and it wont turn on at all

Hey guys
I live in New Zealand and recently found a Note II N7105 off Trademe (NZ's equivalent to ebay) and received it earlier today only to find it doe s not power on or charge at all. the photos and description show that it was working before it was sent but it is essentially dead. now i know that i should do my research before posting this question and i have to no avail and have realised it is one of two problems:
1. either the phone is totally dead or,
2. it does not charge properly
there is no sign of life and i have tried multiple chargers in multiple power sockets and have left it to charge for a while and still nothing
if anyone can give me some help as to whether i should get a refund or whether its a cheap fix, please please please let me know ASAP as i have been REALLY excited for this phone and would like to solve the problem as soon as possible
thanks to anyone that can help, cheers

If ur phone does not start, nothing can be done. Also I guess it is essentially a hardware problem.
Anyways, (unless u have screwed up the phone by urself)why do u want to fix it urself? Just get the refund or replacement.

[Q] Can't turn/wake my brand new ATT Deisre Eye on

Can someone help? I have had my brand new ATT version for the past two days which I rooted but still on stock 4.4.4. This morning, I was trying to get the "auto hide soft keys" app to work (had already been using it). The screen went blank and nothing seems to work, only the notification LED stays green; I had charged it full before.
I have tried soft boot and hard reset using keys, but nothing is working Has it happened to anyone?
Thank you in advance...

Have you tried holding the power and volume up keys at the same time for about 15+ seconds? There have been a few times that I soft bricked my HTC devices and I had to hold the power and volume up for a couple of minutes ?

That's the first thing that I tried, actually a few times! It still has that green LED on, but nothing else comes on. When I connect it to the PC and try to use the htc toolkit to put it in fastboot mode, it says no device attached. Did I just blow my $400 up in air? Someone please help!

I have also had a few Samsung and lg phones in there too and I have to say the openness of the phone is so much better than some other companies... Maybe not as good as oppo though but I would say that hardware is better. Anyways.... The fact that it is recognizing a device is a good thing! But I cannot help past that for the very moment.

Don't get me wrong, I've had HTC devices before the last one being Evo 3D. All I'm saying is Samsung and Oneplus One have been relatively flawless and easy to tweak.
