I faced a problem which is when i have set the Home wallpaper to my one, but after i have restart my phone then it will be changed back to the original Home wallpaper, do you know why?
Did you factory reset your phone? If not follow the steps given under Method 1 here: http://droidviews.com/2012/how-to-recover-when-your-android-device-is-caught-in-bootloop/
Do not forget to backup all your data before doing that.
you mean i have to factory reset before install jelly bean?but now i have update to jelly bean already so how am i going to do next?
by the way, what is the function of CWM??and is it same with recovery function which I get into in by pressing volume UP + HOME button + POWER button?
I just meant that you should try a data/factory reset via stock recovery by pressing the Volume Up+Home+Power keys. This might fix your problem.
may I know where is the vibration setting??I have searched all the phone setting and i cant get it
Go to Settings> Sound.
i know it is under haptic feedback but mine i dont have the setting, so do you know is there any software can block the vibration of the phone?
You mean vibration is turned on by default? May I know the places where you feel it?
See under Accessibility and Developer Options in Settings. I remember the haptic feed back option being there on my S2 (I do not have it now).
It will vibrate when i press the ‘back’ button and the ‘menu’ button and when i move the position of the apps
below is my setting :
See under Accessibility and Developer Options in Settings for a solution.
do you have any apps recommend as i really have tried all the option
Excellent.Its working properly in my S2(Indian Mobile)
