[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwolf0:
You are ignoring many of what the posters have said already. We ARE using untouched videos to compare them, like the one GSMArena has on their website, as well as mobile-review. They do have choppiness. The degree and type of choppiness is hard to quantify. It isn't much, but it's there. No one is saying it will be there in the final product, but it is a good indication. Whether it is the best camcorder in any phone to date or not, doesn't change the fact there IS choppiness in it. How you react to it, or whether it is a concern or not, is left to each individual person's discretion. I would like it to be smoother, but it's not a dealbreaker, and phone tech can always get better, so we are pointing out the faults Samsung might wanna focus on next, if it does still end up on the final product. LCD types and refresh rates have absolutely NOTHING to do with it when people can play the same h.264 1080p mp4 videos (the exact same one as the SGS2) fine and smoothly, especially those captured by cameras with better optics/processors, like DSLRs. Your post might have been more relevant on page one when people hadn't already disclosed their setups and methods.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1rtu4l:
i am disappointed as well by the video recording ... my former samsung phones (wave I & II) did 30fps at 720p and now this phone which gets advertised as 30fps@1080p does only manage around 25 fps on 1080p (even on 720 its similar bad).

i wanted to check if it depends on the kind of storage i put the video an, but the internal memory gave me 24,22 fps, while pretty much the same video gave me 25,5 fps on the micro sdhc card, so i guess its more of a hardware/phone issue than the storage that is being used.

did anyone else ever check the framerate of your high def video ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel Smedegaard Buus:
Well, I just Googled my way here because I bought this phone today, and half an hour ago I was testing the video recording in my girlfriend's apartment.

The choppiness is extremely prevalent. I get (guesstimating here) anywhere from 10-30 fps. 1080p is absolutely useless. Find a motif and fixate on that, I'll get a pretty nice framerate. Start moving the phone and Mr. Chop Monster goes insane. I tried all of the three different quality settings (superfine, fine, and normal), and getting anything that even resembles 30fps in 1080p is hopeless. It also seems to drop keyframes occasionally.

720p is pretty much equally useless. I'm guessing because here it has to downscale, too, so the processor isn't much less taxed compared to 1080p. Again, all three quality settings suffer, though normal quality is the most forgiving.

At 480p you're actually able to record without dropping frames.

I bought this phone because of two things: screen quality and camera quality. It states 1080p @30 fps on the specs list. Not "up to 30 fps but wildly fluctuating". I don't know how people can start arguing that "it's not as bad as the iphone". What does that have to do with anything? Specs are specs, if it's not delivering on its promise, it's going back to the fake-ass factory.

I'm hoping to find another thread with a "[SOLVED]" in front of it. If not, it's going back tomorrow. For now, these are my findings with this phone.

EDIT: I find myself wondering why I can't find a single video recording sample out there where the phone isn't stationary...?

I'm running CM7 off SD card. Adfree can't find the right mount point to remount.

1) I pulled the Adfree hosts file off another Android device (I attached it in a zip).

3) I pushed the hosts file to the NC: 'adb push hosts /system/etc/hosts'

Maybe check to see if the hosts file was actually replaced. The hosts file should be around 700 kB

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine-:
I like the default HTC Sense clock/weather but it is so large it takes up a lot of real estate on the home screen. Is there a smaller replacement that still maintains the same look and all the functionality? I found a "Sense Analog Small Clock 4x1" in the market and its fine, but the weather has to be a zipcode entry. It wont just use your "current location" like the native HTC sense widget does. This would be a nice function but it seems to be absent in 3rd party clock & weather apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotdizzle:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Beautiful Widget allows for resizing and has multiple skins.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine-:
Checked them in the market. Their clock/weather widget does support geolocation apparently. So I guess it would autoupdate to wherever you were at like HTC's native sense widget. It looks fairly large though, at least 4x2. What I really need is 4x1 like the small sense app.

Update: I just saw some 1x4 shots in the android market site so it looked like it has this size. The only other problem is its not free but I can deal with that. ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
Beautiful widgets is exactly what your looking for. I run it often in 4x1 and it looks great. Plus there are over 100 different clock and weather skins. Really nice app and well worth it.

Ok, so ive been playing with my phone that i got a little over 4 months ago. I use to sell sprint so im pretty quick and finding the ins and outs and what works and what doesnt.

So ive been trying to maximize my battery life.

So over the past week ive been playing with roms and kernels.

On a one day test running the following build setup I was able to run 16hrs plus on the Stock Battery.

The configuration is as follows.

Kernel 15

I used Battery Monitor Widget (to monitor and document mA used on Batt)

https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw&feature=search_result

Now like what i was saying ive been trying to maximize batt life.

So on the first day alone i unplugged my phone at around noon at a full 100% charge.

Throughout the day i did moderate use on my phone I.E. facebook, web browsing, download or two, screen on and off like 25 times an hr.

I didnt need to plug my phone in for a charge until almost 8 am the next morning.

This is only a one day test, i do work ten hr shifts at my job which covered MOST of that time. Plus sleeping.

Next week i will put down the real testing. Starting monday ill make sure my phone is charged 100% at the time that i wake up and ill document here what my results are day to day to see if this actually makes it worth the while to root and setup your phone the way i did to maximize battery time.

If you have any questions please post before and ill try to find the answer.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I will start to update next week starting monday on a weeks worth of testing.

Hi all,

I'm searching for an new Dialer for my TG01 WM 6.5.3

Which version is working? Can someone provide me it.

Thx in advance.

I have installed SDKCerts and your cab.

The green talk button is empty. Its green but without the font.

no prob. make a MasterClean or HardReset to restore your old dailer. for install you dont need adding programs to install.install alone the dailer, reset, reeboot

Oly,

Many thanks for the tip on Phonex - I hadn't discovered that before and am now sold on it - excellent stuff :)

My only query just now is I am unable to find out how to ad photos to Contacts in Phonex - read the instructions and tried every menu option going but can't see... have emailed their tech support with the query. The manual / menus illustrated are from V2 so appears as if there may be some fifference in the newer V3.

If you can offer any clues would be much appreciated !

Best regards,

Kevin
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
hi Kevin, it was actually (InsertNameHere) who suggested the phonex dialer, not me :)

Unfortunately i havent got round to trying it yet, so i can't help you there!

[TG01 Themes and Apps] kevinpwhite:
Ooops ! Thank you for pointing out my error - and with apologies to @InsertNameHere.... wonder whether you would be able to advise any tips on what I'm doing wrong (given is almost certainly 'finger trouble' as is the way of these things).....

Many thnaks,

[TG01 Themes and Apps] (InsertNameHere):
Don't have phonex myself, but i am sure the way it worked for v2 must be similar, try this:

Contacts > press right side of contact > then choose change > select photo > from here on should be quite straightforward.

In version 3 no wonder you are having trouble, at least in the demo, it all looks similar, Contacts > press right side of contact > then choose edit > where has the photo option gone????!!!!!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] kevinpwhite:
Many thanks - clicking to the right of a Contact brings up the details panel; going Edit from there opens on top row: Delete, >Blank<, vCard and Calendar; on bottom row: Contact >Make Main< (Greyed out), Favourite and Copy. Selecting Contact opens a new stripe allowing application of a personal Ringtone; I think there should be a similar 'stripe' allowing selection of Photo.....

Another dialer alternative, sadly another paid piece of software though is Inesoft Phone 7, very similar to Phonex but i think Phonex is better myself.

the same effect i get after install my ManilaDailer on feroponts 6.5 ROM

[ROM]ROM_TG01_6.5.21916_WWE_Clean

the problem is causes in this ROM. the standard Dailer by start has not the right black background. here fails a file.

if i install my ManilaDailer i get the same graphic error with background. Install this Dailer for 6.5 ROM. whit it is all correct. http://www.4shared.com/file/iE3yMqob/Phone_Canvas_34019201930.html

EDIT= The PhoneDailer on feroponts 6.5 ROM is skinned! delete to have really standard and to use with booth my ManilaDailer in registry hklm\security\phone the reg. entry SKIN. now works my dailer 1 and the new also!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Installed this cab on miROM7.

So now when I receive a call both dialers pop up - the ROM one and the cab one. The ROM screen is in front of the cab screen so that I can only use the ROM soft buttons.

How do I deactivate the ROM dialer so I can use the cab dialer?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] mirolg:
umpf...:D why you install a new ManilaDailer you have a good and 90% the same in miROM7 included? i don´t know but i think the dailer in ROM is a cab- try to remove.

if will not go in registry hklm\security\phone and delete SKIN and SMARTDIAL and reboot= now you have the standard dailer. now you can new install the new ManilaDailer.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Thank you miro, but that did not work. in miROM7 (old version) the dialer is not a cab.

the important difference between the dialers is that the one I want has larger soft buttons and the possibility to suppress the ring tone when a call comes in by a separate soft button.

the dialer of miROM7 does not have that. the soft buttons for accepting a call are also very small compared to the other version.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] mirolg:
install	miROM Htc_Dailer_deactivate.cab after reboot install the new Dailer again.

pls feedback
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
unfortunately that does not do it either. Tried twice both remove, reboot, install the deactive cab, reboot, install the miro dialer, reboot.

On incoming calls i still get two windows that open. the one in front is the one with the small soft buttons, the one in the rear is the one from the installed cab.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] mirolg:
ok. but i can´t understand why :confused: . normally the two daler are to 98% identic and norally if install, the older files will overwrite. Sorry, but only a Hard reset clear this.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Hi Miro,

even a hard reset could not resolve this.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] (InsertNameHere):
Worst case is you have to use tg downloader and 3 pin method for recovery, but i cannot believe a hard reset did not solve this problem, hard reset can be ahcieved by holding down power, camera and volume up at the same time.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Thanks for your comment, but I was referring to the fact that the hard reset did not help in installing the dialer.

Does anyone know of a cab file for the phone canvas dialer to install on a 6.1. clean rom without manila/sense.?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] (InsertNameHere):
I don't think you can, because its part of sense ui, if you want a dialer alternative you can either try one of the many skins available for the dialer, or other apps in this thread.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
No, you can get a cab file thaT works. I used one for non-sense roms before that worked 100%. Let me find the link...

Follow comments in the youtube channel which i posted in a year ago... he gives you instructions to get it. You can also see it out in the video

[TG01 Themes and Apps] kevinpwhite:
Problem eventually resolved - I hit on it by chance at about the same time that the tech support came back with the answer - and it's not the same as the manual or earlier versions.....

You have to go Contacts|New (or Edit |Contacts for an existing one) and then there will be a small white + in a green circle top left adjacent to the avatar position. Click this and THEN you get the Photo sub-menu. It works absolutely fine once you know where it is. Be OK if that was what the instructions said, and then appears a bit more intuitive, but in this case reading the instructions was a definite red herring !
