No more battery charged notification?

Hi, i just noticed my s2 does not alert me when the battery is fully charged. Anybody know what could be wrong?

Recently i just flash my kernel from cf root to siyah2.1.1. Rom is stock 2.3.5

edit: sorry a mistake on my part. lol. guess i did not wait longer for it to fully charged. Even though its showing 100% but its still charging. Alert did sound off afterall. I just cannot keep my hands off my s2. :)

50% bricked?

forumers, i might need your help on this problem of mine.

possibly my phone is half bricked, i cant boot to mobile home screen. i can't get to download/recovery mode. BUT i have a 50/50 chance to boot into download/recovery mode after i remove the battery for quite sometime - but it will not reboot after i flash stock rom, seems like it just hangs there in blank screen.

and once i've removed the battery, it would boot into stock recovery.

thinking of sending it back to samsung, unless there's a way to recover this.

just flashed CM7 nightly #116 on my phone. Keep having issue with receiving SMS.

Have tried full wipe + reflash(multiple times). Have tried *#*#4636 and changing the SMSC but the SMSC keeps resetting back to 00. Tried using the default Messaging settings but can't find the SMSC option anywhere.

Anyone can assist??

One quick qn...

Everytime I download .apk file over the internet, it'll auto-convert to .html. And when I download .epub file, it converts to .txt.. anyone knows why? :(

one way to sub this is to use other browsers, one of them should work:

dolphin
miren
opera
firefox
skyfire

my youtube browser keeps showing the same video. about this car that sebastian vettel is trying out. some BBC thing. anyone experiencing this?

I've had the same problem on one other phone. Go into Settings > Applications and look for YouTube under "All". Then clear data and uninstall all updates. It should work fine after that. Don't update for a while, I think this is a known bug.

from what i heard... if its iphone... and just released version... they replace new set... if the model already out for some time.. likely to get a refurbished set when doing exchange... so not sure if samsung also practice the same
