[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfksc:
Yes I've used the HTC headset that comes with the Desire and it works (but doesn't anywhere near as good). The controller pauses/plays, skips forward and back. I haven't tested it, but I suppose it would work fine for answering calls too.

I don't know if iPhone headsets work although they should, and I could try my daughter's iPod Touch headset tonight, if no one else replies before then.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i dont know about the iphone specific headset. but it will work with 3 button headset in general, it should use standard ff/rw/pause and mic line, etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyaniris:
Thanks, I just see so many 3-button earphones that advertise themselves as "iphone-compabible", so I am wondering if there's some Apple standard and non-apple setup.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I use the Bose MIE2 mobile phone headset. In line mic with button control, works great. Costs 145 bucks but sounds superb. Its specific for mobile phones, follows the standard. A near identical iPhone version exists.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
the iphone headset will only answer calls and the mic works, the volume does not work.

as for HTC, I have posted this somewhere else, everything works, although the volume up/down button is replaced by previous/forward, but reversed (- being forward and + being previous), but you can pull the buttons off with little force and correct it.

please note, before anyone goes out and buy the HTC headset, the headset has no bass if you dont use the ear muffs, and only a little bass with them on.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I can confirm what kms108 says about the Apple headphones. The call answer button also works as play/pause for media.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sosquidtaste:
What about skip / rewind?

I know this has been asked elsewhere in these forums, but none of the threads have been active within the past few months.

Does anyone know if there are any headsets or control software that allows you to use your remote button to skip forward, or rewind backwards on the Nexus S?

On the N1, PowerAMP added the option for two clicks to skip forward, three clicks to rewind back by a track. However, my same headphones (Zagg Smartbuds, if it matters) no longer do so on my NS.

Does anyone have any insight as to how I might be able to get that functionality back? It's pretty important to me, and presumably many others on these here forums :]
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
if you read up a few post, you have your answer, or get a BT headset.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sosquidtaste:
Whoops. My wording was terrible. I was looking mainly at iPhone compatible headsets. It's nice to know that the HTC remote controls work properly, but as I recall the stock earbuds that came with my N1 were godawful :]

For now, I remembered an app called Headset Button Controller which does pretty much exactly what it says. The only problem is that I'm having trouble getting my NS to recognize any kind of triple click. I can only do single, double, and long clicks. Luckily, I guess that's all I really need?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
the double or triple click does'nt work well, i prefer a dedicated button.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] popi37:
hi... i have a sony ericsson stock rom can someone help me with this problem? my x10 mini is always in auto dim/brightness but when i go to Setting>Sound & Display>Brightness there are no Auto Brightness to check or uncheck on... can some one help me with my problem.. is so irritating... and i know it can eat some of battery power...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Hyper_Sonic:
Hello,

you can disable the auto brightness only by disabling the controller interface of the sensor!

You can do this by editing the hw_config.sh file stored in /etc with root explorer

1. change the line: i2c_pwn_als with i2c_pwn

2. set permissions to rwxr--r-- (744) if they are changed! VERY IMPORTANT!

3. reboot and njoy the missing sensor ;-)

Bye Bye

HS
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] popi37:
sir i cannot find the "i2c_pwn_als"
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Hyper_Sonic:
Hello,

the i2c_pwn_als is a line in the hw_config.sh file stored on /etc

use root explorer to open end edit the file

bye
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dr.norton:
a little correction, it's pwm, not pwn.

btw, thanks for the tip :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rushrocker:
Thnx for d trick!! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gopichand2810:
I tried it but it didn't work still in auto brigthness
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] firepad:
Done. But still no light :(

My light dissapear after 1 second the sony ericcson logo appears when booting
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
i successfully updated to froyo from kies. before this i had the stock rom and did not install any custom one

after updating my proximity sensor works when the phone is held vertical in an upright position

but after making a call, if i keep it on the table and close the sensor, the screen doesn't turn off. it should turn off and was working fine in 2.1 for me

can you guys confirm if the sensor turns off even when laid flat on the table?

also, the volume up/down button does not silence the ringtone when i get a call

please reply so that i can confirm whether the problem is with my phone or with the new release.
[Galaxy 3 General] diminishdim:
Not sure about the sensor problem but as far as your second problem is concerned hold the vol down button for a few seconds to mute the ringtone
[Galaxy 3 General] asethi100:
Proximity Sensor is problematic

Yes The Sensor does'nt seem to be responding towards the end of the call. Just use the home key to light up the screen.
[Galaxy 3 General] ckravi72:
The display screen timeout settings does not automatically turn off even after specified time.this happens very often and need to enable screen timeout settings again and again.
[Galaxy 3 General] araandroid:
Yes , I am experiencing problem with Swype , it is not responding to aby gesture. I am able to type using swype as regular keypad but not as "swype". I resetted my phone 3-4 times but i wasn't lucky.

So i am using keypad only. Its official DDJP2 FROYO version thpugh its flashed using odin as i was experiencing problem with KIES.
[Galaxy 3 General] satyamsit:
I am experiencing some strange behavior in media and notification sound. while i play some song and want to lock my screen from power button, some glitchy sound is coming, same happening when some messages coming. is anybody experiencing the same. plz try it with headphone attached while playing a song and just lock the screen from power button menu...
[Galaxy 3 General] deadwood01:
May be you have checked "screen lock sounds" option in /settings/sound unchek and see if the problem persists...
[Galaxy 3 General] satyamsit:
Thanks a lot for ur reply but the option is unchkd from beginning ... :( ..
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
Yes....This is happening

This is the worst release by Samsung , as per me....Even on call if you are using headphone, you will hear clicking sound (argh)
[Galaxy 3 General] deeqwerty:
Yes the proximity sensor isn't working fine. Screen does not turn on after a call. So I need to press home screen every time.

And long pressing menu button in call log does not enable search bar which happened perfectly in 2.1
[Galaxy 3 General] satyamsit:
For those who r facing the problem silencing the ringtines from vol up down, press power on off button, it shud work. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
we do know about pressing the power on/off key but that also switches off the sceen. but volume up/down only silences the ringtone but doesn't switch off screen.

swype doesn't work because languages are not installed. root, delete swype, install swype from official site.

and during a call, if you press volume up/down button to increase/decrease the volume, the voice breaks for a second and you hear a clicking noise.

these problems are seriously irritating me. thinking of going back to 2.1 or some custom ROM is samsung does not release an update fixing these problems.
[Galaxy 3 General] techie.raj:
Few more problems that I had observed....

1. If you open contacts and press back button you won't be going any where

2. Previously I used to connect my phone using bluetooth to my PC (Ubuntu) but now even after turning on my Bluetooth along with visiblity phone is not visible. Once I was lucky and recognized my phone as "V5" though the device name is different.

3. If you try to add pics to the contacts from your gallery the time taken is very long which was not the case with Eclair 2.1

4. Previously with Launcher Pro plus on Eclair I never had to "Force close" any application, but after upgrading to Froyo the first call itself raised a warning for force close. Even after sometime in my other call I couldn't End my call as the screen was not responsive.

After a struggle for One day on latest Firmware I feel that its not that worth to wait this much amount of time for official firmware.
[Galaxy 3 General] satyamsit:
I was experiencing the same problem on the first day, but after that i rooted my phone and installed busybox. from last 2 days did not find that contacts back key problem anymore.. i dont know its a temporary fix and what has fixed it anyway...

but really .. somehow this release is not at all convincing. so sad. :(
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
i too feel the same way mate..

can anybody tell me if I5801ZHJPF better that DDJP2?
[Galaxy 3 General] akshayw:
I have another different problem my battery life is not going above 10 hrs while on 2.1 i used to get 18hrs. Am i missing some setting or what.I am gonna install something else if this **** firmware does not improve in the next update
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
i think this update was hastily released.

many bugs in it.

if you see the in-built task manager, the "uninstall" button is not even properly designed.

even accelerometer has some problems
[Galaxy 3 General] 19.nvv.11:
the worst bug ever is the camera bug

theres this geo-tagging option..

until you get a fix on ur location camera will force close.. :mad: :mad:

and it cant be disabled at all..

the only way to get around it is to use 3g or disable network mode in 2g..
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
i saw somewhere that this can be solved by disabling "use wireless network" option in settings->location and security.

not sure though. try it.
[Galaxy 3 General] techie.raj:
+ add one more bug to the list,

the microphone is also not working properly with different applications like Talking Tom or Talking Parrot, previously they used work on 2.1 without any problem or distrubance.

Did anybody also had the same problem?

One good thing with the Froyo update is previously my phone is used to restart unconditionally with the stock firmware (randomly sometimes during call or when Ideal). But till now no such weird behaviour in the current release.
[Galaxy 3 General] akshay99:
I m flash with DDJP2 its work fine. ....................
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
another problem i had today.

after i finish an incoming call, the dialer opens automatically.

can anybody recommend a ROM without any bugs?

i am in india
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
I had the same problem but not after call...i get the dialer if i unlock the screen locker itself...if you want give a try to any of the custom roms out there
[Galaxy 3 General] 19.nvv.11:
ya i had already said that in my post.. it works.. :)

but the thing is everything like gmail gchat facebook goes out of sync.. its really frustrating.. :mad:

and one more problem..i dont know if its the network of firmware problem :confused: but messages dont get delivered while on 3g :mad:
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
another problem i had today.

wifi doesn't work. it says "turning on" but then says "error"

did a hard reset, wiped data and cache, still all these probs exist
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Did you flash through odin or kies
[Galaxy 3 General] shadabt:
Suggest a good rom now!!!

Now i have upgraded to official froyo with so many bugs :(

Someone please suggest a good rom, fast and no bugs...

And also how can I get that, please explain in detail i will be flashing for the first time my unrooted G3.
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
i flashed through kies

i too have been asking for the same here
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Alright flash JPM or lestatious if you need a custom rom but you have to use odin for it...
[Galaxy 3 General] s1024b:
Is JPM 2.2.1 or is it 2.2?
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Its 2.2
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
well i know i have to use ODIN and i have looked at the guides here and i think i can pull it off

i do not need a custom rom, i need official firmware from samfirmware.

can you tell me which firmware there is the best?
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
JPM!!! Flash without boot
[Galaxy 3 General] raghub:
Link plz...flash without boot?
[Galaxy 3 General] next2devil:
Give me around 30 mins... I am uploading the stock JPM rom.

I'll give you a blazing fast direct link to download it.

And if anyone needs the latest rom released by samsung for India, do let me know.
[Galaxy 3 General] next2devil:
Here you go... below is the link that will allow you to download the rom at high speed.

Link to the ROM: http://www.filefactory.com/file/cbeb61f/n/stock_rom_jpm_zip

Link to the flashing tools: http://www.filefactory.com/file/cbedfa0/n/Flashing_Tools_zip (contains ODIN tool to flash the rom, ODS file needed by the ODIN and also USB flash drivers, in case you need it)

And "flash without boot" means you should remove boot.bin and sbl.bin from the .tar file before flashing (it's an optional activity). It would help you keep the original boot screen. I've included the instructions in the download file.

Don't forget to click the thanks button if u felt i was helpful :)
[Galaxy 3 General] neeljinwala:
yes it does have some problems! use jpm if u are a fan of stock roms! :)
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
JPM is europe region firmware right?

i am in india and if i flash with it will i have any problems in my phone like network, 3G etc?
[Galaxy 3 General] 19.nvv.11:
no no.. :) no problem at all..

even the language is english..

otherwise this thread wouldnt have this many posts.. ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] s1024b:
Can someone please let me know how to uninstall Swype from the official Froyo (so that Swype can be installed from swype website later)?

I have rooted my device, but I can't find either swype.apk in /system/app or libswype.so in /system/lib ...
[Galaxy 3 General] s1024b:
Uh! ok it is Swype not swype. Got it now. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] rickslick:
Swype problem

After uninstalling the Swype from official update using root unistaller, I installed the Swype beta. It was working fine until i rebooted my phone. Again Swype stopped working

Did anyone get this problem??
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
This happens rarely. To make it work, choose samsung keyboard and then choose swype.

With me it happens when i move data2sd
[Galaxy 3 General] s1024b:
Yes, it stopped woking on reboot and as jaskiratsingh suggested reselecting Swype makes it work again!
[Galaxy 3 General] shadabt:
GPS Fix issue

I have not got GPS fix a single time since I upgraded to official Froyo.

I get 4 satellites in view but the GPS lock is not achieved.

I have tried out following solutions:

1. TTFF test

2. Faster Fix

3. GPS Opt

Do you guys are also facing same issue?

Please help !!!
[Galaxy 3 General] babloo81:
After installing 2.2, my phone does not allow me to install any battery widgets. I tried a few like battery widget, battery live etc. They get installed but when I look at them through Manage applications, they show as 0bytes and so I am not able to see an icon created in the menu as well. Any thoughts on this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanton93:
Guys I just wanted to know if I could flash whitehawx's modem on my vibrant running bionix 1.3.1? The kernel version is 2.6.32.9
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbm21:
Yes you can
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanton93:
I must flash the modem just like I flash a rom/theme right??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
yes just like you would flash any other modem, as long as its a froyo modem you can flash it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Go Shred.......the Real Froyo Boy............ The KB5 works well on Bi winning :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanton93:
I hoped that flashing kb5 on my phone would increase my battery life but it still lasts only about 3 hour tops on moderate use..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
Wth 3 hours?? What are you doing on your phone? You probably need to recondition your battery or get a new battery, by the sounds of it tho your battery is prlly fried

This post Trigger'd by my Vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crysto25:
Lol 3hrs must really suck. Recondition ur battery. I have bionix v with kb5 modem and 3days of battery life with moderate use
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanton93:
So should I buy a new battery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmcminn60:
Just call T-Mobile they are good at sending out batteries.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crysto25:
Wut if it isnt a new battery that u need? Unless u tried all other options u can do with ur current battery. Say go for it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
On Froyo 2.2 and 2.2.1, you should be getting ~20 hours with moderate use. That is, the screen should be on CONSTANTLY for about 3-3.5 hours of those 20 hours.

On CM7 and MUIU you should be getting ~10-15 hours with moderate use.

You got something wrong here. Go to the market and search "OS Monitor". It's a program that is like the task manager on Windows. Open it and order processes by CPU usage. See if anything is constantly running and using a lot of your CPU. If so, uninstall/kill it. If everything is fine and CPU usage is low, buy a new battery.

Hope that helps :)
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Here's a video showing the new benchmark and the display of the Galaxy S2

Great Results.

Video :D {remember not in English}

Galaxy S2 is certainly a very interesting device with the best display of the current smartphones and high performance hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Already posted in the review thread.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Good,getting it on Monday from Mumbai,cost Rs 30,000{may get 500-600 discount;)}
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Congrats, you will be the first on the boards to have one... OFFICIALLY...

Are you getting it shipped?
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
No,i will be in Pune on 17th,then to Mumbai with 1 of my friend.

Both of us are going for SGS 2,as per now the dealer has confirmed 1.2Ghz+Super Amoled Plus version.But the final price he is saying might go to Rs 32,000 also but then as two of us are going for it,we are quite confident of the deal for Rs 30,000
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I would appreciate it if you would post some pics after the purchase. Ill take a trip down to Mumbai as well. :)
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Well don't get your hopes up, because lots of people get fooled by phone resellers... I'm not saying you won't get your phone by Monday, but don't be too disappointed when you don't, because you probably won't ;)
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Yes,also you can check it yourself,i have already posted that reatilers number & name.

I hope all this falsl according to the plan on Monday
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
my thoughts exactly. a big authorized retailer would not risk the reputation and the relationship with Samsung by selling a phone [under the table?] prior to the official release date. But I have never been to India, may be it is standard practice there :)
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Let's see,it's the same shop from where i got my N1 back in March 2010.:D

Mumbai & Delhi in India are the two cities where you can get almost all the latest GSM Smartphones.

Let's see.
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Not really comparable. Nexus One was already available as from January 2010 in some countries, so maybe it was an import model I don't know...

Here we're talking about a phone which hasn't been released anywhere worldwide.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
OK,no further argument,we will find it on Monday:D
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Well, I for one hope you get it. Cause that would be good for all those who wish to get it in India.
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
I Hope so too!! I am from India too and right now waiting for the S2. It would be great news for all those who are waiting to buy it in India! Do post some pics! it would be nice too finally see the pics of the Samsung Logo on the front :)
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Well, about that video. Damn that screen is nice!! I have been waiting for a vid to really show off the screen, this does it. Those blacks, omg!
[Galaxy S II General] Bilhouse:
Was it just me or was the Quadrant score in that video less then the one in the image posted a couple of days ago. It might be due to the processor speed or something else.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
They might have the 1Ghz version.

I was thinking the same, I believe the score was 2500 vs the posted image of 3000.
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
especially me
[Galaxy S II General] Bilhouse:
Hmm. I thought so too but one of the responses in the YouTube video says that it was a 1.2Ghz model.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Perhaps running apps in the background might make a difference.

Just a thought. :)

---
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Quadrant gives different scores every time you use it. My Desire scores range from 1100 to 1700. Probably same here, 2500-3000.
[Galaxy S II General] brendanmurphy:
This was a pre production device notice no samsung logo on front. This may be running older software hence lower bench marks

http://blog.gsmarena.com/1-2-ghz-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-benchmarked-shows-mind-blowing-speed/
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Yes it has a few times, but thanks for sharing.

Amazing benchmark scores. This device has a lot of potential and is at least future proof for another 9 Months.
[Galaxy S II General] SeRaph.gk:
Any idea when is it available in other cities (Hyderabad)?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Although I am not doubting you will get it on Monday, some retailers jump to the conclusion that they will be first on the list to receive it. Usually, Samsung Distributors in India are first to stock. I wish there was a way to verify the availability (now), lol. Sounds too good to be true. We will have to wait and see 'till Monday.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
hello frnds...

i am new to join this forum.. i am really looking forward to buy this beast. am from india... if any indian out there get hold on this phone early kindly do a favour to let me know the details about price n from where i can get it... that ll be a great help.... looking forward to play with this beast...
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Perhaps waiting till END April will be best for all. The release is imminent, but if Android_master gets lucky, its something to take advantage of.
