[Galaxy S II General] extrememonkey:
Hello people,

Just a quicky to ask a hopefully simple question.

I have never owned a Samsung made phone and was wondering if any of you could enlighten me on the quality of audio output from them, in call audio? Headphone quality (obviously depends on quality of headphones, but general quality), and external speaker quality?

I'm currently using a Dell Streak, and one of it's biggest flaws is it's audio, shocking to say the least! Prior to my Streak I was using one of Satans phones (iPhone 3gs) where the audio was much better in general!

Can't wait for general release of the SGSII, ticks all the boxes and more - just hope O2 have it on release day and not delay it and fill it with there usual bloatware!!! Gonna stick with my current contact due to it being an old iphone unlimited data plan!!!!

[Galaxy S II General] TheSonicEmerald:
Not sure about the GSII, but headphone and speaker audio quality of the GS has been superb, better than even the Itouch. And with possible Voodoo sound tweaks, it be even better.
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
With a kernel running voodoo sound (all of them at this point) it's flawless.

[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Audio quality via headphone out should be good as this uses a Wolfson DAC like the original S, Wolfson are one of the better DACs around and good to see Samsung putting in a decent DAC on their phones! Not heard the sound from any Samsung phones but I've got 2 Samsung mp3 players and they both sound good with decent headphones.
[Galaxy S II General] RaspyYeti:
As soon as shops have the SGS II in stock take your own microsd card filled with high quality content & your own headphones and just try it out.
[Android Software Development] JerryScript:
I am using the aospCM7 ROM for the Optimus V, and have been loving it. Now that MMS is fixed, there is no reason for me not to use it as a daily.

My question now is, what is an appropriate donation to aosp for making this the most kick-ass ROM around for the OV, and to asadullah for writing the original recovery that made this all possible?

I'm thinking $30 to aosp and $10 to asadullah, am I being cheap?

(please no arguments, I just want to donate an acceptable amount)
[Android Software Development] NineInchNails:
That's perfectly acceptable. They spend hours developing

I'm running stock 2.3.2 with netarchy 1.2.5 bfs. When overclocked to 1.3 my nexus s gave a quadrant score of 3052.

When the SGSII went for quadrant it got 3053. That's something to us NS owners eh? :D
[Nexus S General] ammarmalik:
As an android user if there is one thing I never trusted are the Quadrant Scores of a custom Kernel.
[Nexus S General] Uby501:
I get a score of 2241 with the last MIUI release. But onestly I'm not so confident this is a good basis for a comparison.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
quadrant-shmadrant.

who cares, what exactly can the fastest phone do that the nexus s can't at this point in time that's of any use? now, wait for the next version of android for phones... that'll hopefully allow the user to import 3d-models with boning data direct from a 3d package, improved graphics rendering - which should see an increase of around %15 iirc - and then we're talking.

but of course, the nexus s will be able to do all that first!
[Nexus S General] j0hnZ:
Take 1080p video, zoom the camera, play just about any video you put on it without converting out of the box. Have touchwiz or senseui features whatever the new ones may be. All very useful if you have a use for them.

how does it save it though do i just back it up and it will still be there after i flash my new rom? or do i need to buy the premium to save it im confused on how it will show up after i put new rom on plz help
[General Topics] magicriggs:
Contacts are automatically backed up thru google. And your sim card can only hold up to 150 numbers. Anyways if your scared losing your contacts then just back up all contacts to your sd card. People > menu > import/export > export to sd and then choose what account contacts you want backed up. And to restore contacts just hit import from sd card.

Hit thanks on accident. Have a freebie.

It has been reported that our Gallery app is buggy with the sensor usage. My suggestion to see if this is the root of the problem is to uninstall/freeze the Gallery app and try a different one. Some people have mentioned that just installing the 3D Gallery from the market doesn't have the issue like the stock one. Either way let us know if that helps.

I have the same problem, even after uninstalling the 3d gallery it still occurs. It usally keeps my phone awake 50% of the time. I have tried so many things to fix it, nothing helps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
Format your SD card, Odin, redownload the ROM and modem, install CWM3, reflash modem, reflash ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
Gallery sensor usage and System sensor usage are two different issues. I have noticed that "System" sensor usage is always around 50%, but it does not effect partial wake usage and does not cause excessive battery drain (at least on my Epic it doesn't).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatoniss:
I tried wiping and using odin to go back to stock but I will try again. This time im going to keep from putting anything back on my sd card. What I noticed was even when I did this the problem occurred on 2.1 stock as well.

While my sensor usage is up. My partial wake lock is usually 50% as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
These are most likely useless metrics.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatoniss:
It is affecting battery though. I usally last 8 or 9 hours which is far less than I used to. My phone also will get very warm even if I'm not using it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churro7:
google is of no help in locating the app or service
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatoniss:
Well I went back to stock then flashed back up ACS 1.1.0. I flashed genocide kernel as well. the battery isn't as bad and i resorted to using autokiller set to aggressive. Most of the time its fine but it still will go back to a 50% wakelock. when this happens usually under sensor usage android system is 50% or 100%. when its 100% my phone will get warm. The only time i noticed this really happening was sometime after i got a replacement phone. Do you think its hardware related. It doesn't make sense to me. This morning my first 10% of battery lasted about 3 hours then the wake lock kicked in and it started to drop very fast. I used to make 14 hours of heavy use with this phone.

Thank you for those that have been trying to help.

That program displays the USB device connected to a PC, but it doesn't show how much current the USB device is drawing, does it? I'm interested to know if there are PC programs to tell you how much current an USB device is drawing, as you said in your earlier reply :
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexbush:
If you plug the device into a windows PC (I'm on XP so apologies if this is not up to date) and look at the device manager/USB devices, one of the tabs on the properties sheet (power) will tell you how much current the device is drawing.

The USB mouse I have plugged in is drawing 100mA which is right on the limit for the A70. Of course you can always work through a powered hub but it's all extra cables!

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wartstew:
Yes, a USB mouse (and keyboard as well) did work on my A70s once I put it through a powered hub.

The specific one I used was a cheap Dtech DT-4012 which has an 700mA internal battery with a wimpy solar charger (but no jack for external power).

The keyboard works as expected and you will suddently get a conventional mouse pointer on the screen when the mouse is working. This of course is real handy when trying to use a tablet with an external display through the HDMI port.

Note that I could NOT get this to work with Belkin F5U404 powered hub or a very generic 7-port powered hub I bought some time ago that seems more interested in providing a flashing multicolored light show than being a powered hub. I'm thinking this might be because these hubs somehow don't tell the USB port on the A70s to switch from an "OTG" (client-mode) USB port to a "Host"-mode port. Anyone know how to manually switch modes (such as in poking something in /sys somewhere?). Something like this had to be done on a Nokia N810 (which I still have one), so maybe I'll check and see how it was done.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Krshaw18:
Hey guys! So I saw a request for this bios bootscreen similar to the one linked below and decided to modify it to fit the Atrix's specifications. I have mine running on 4.1.57 but it should work on any phone that is rooted. Instructions are simple: Download the .zip file. Put a copy on you sd card, then copy it to /system/media folder in you phone over the existing bootanimation.zip. If you want to save the original one you have just rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak ect. After you replace it, just reboot and let the phone do the rest. I am not responsible for anything that goes amuck in your phones so mod at your own risk! If you want to speed up or slow down the FPS, do so int the desc.txt in the zip. Hope you enjoy!

*EDIT - 4/17/11*

I have uploaded the zips for the other 2 Roms (the first upload said GingerBlur) You now have the option of grabbing one for either GreyBlur or GladiAtrix as well!! Simply download the .zip labeled GA_bootanimation.zip for GladiAtrix or Grey_bootanimation.zip for GreyBlur. Rename them to bootanimation.zip and your ready to roll!

**EDIT - 4/18/11**

I have now changed the second looping Android screen to spell out the Rom you are currently using; whether it be GreyBlur, GingerBlur or GladiAtrix! Check out the attached photos to see what it now looks like. Or look at the GIF below to see it in action. Cheers!

** I take no credit for creating this idea, credit goes to Frysee for the original, and rjhonstone for resizing it. I just modified it :)

I'm a beginner with cooking, so bear with me...

I started with DSIXDA's latest kitchen, and got it set up with Ubuntu, running flawlessly.

I'm able to take a ROM (say, CMYLXGO's), unpack it with the kitchen, and repack it without any issues.. Even able to add customizations featured in the kitchen. No issues here.

The problem comes when flashing the packed ROM via CWR... It says "Finding update", then "Opening update", then shortly after it says "Installing update". about 20 seconds later, it finishes, and I'm stuck with "NAND Kernel Open Fail!" error upon reboot.

I've tried using multiple ROM's, even a Desire S dump without any modifications (untouched system.img and boot.img), but each time I receive the same results.

My hunch as to what's causing the error is the updater-script file not performing the format of the boot and system partitions prior to ROM installation... but since I'm a beginner, I can't be sure.

If anybody has an answer to this, it would really help me get going in the right direction. Also any recommendations are welcome. I can use all the info I can get my hands on.

Thank you in advance. :)

After 3 months of gently using my Desire Z, the touch screen doesn't work 90% of the time when flipped open. If you hit an icon, nothing happens. If you then apply gentle pressure to start to close the phone, it completes the "click". Seems like something about the LCD being sprung all the way open quickly.

I bought this device to the tune of $600, unlocked, from a canadian ebay member. Phone came looking new and in box, but it seems to have been software unlocked (and rooted).

Will HTC honor my warranty even though I bought from an out of country ebay seller? If not I have a very expensive paperweight. This stinks! :mad:

Thanks in advance,

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If you bought it unlocked, then you bought it rooted and when a device is rooted, the warranty is void.

Contact the seller, ask them for a link to the means that they used to root the device, from there you can sort out how to unroot the device in order to get a warranty replacement. However, I'm unsure as to if warranties are transferrable; you may be SOL.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
HTC's warranty states: "This Limited Warranty is only valid and enforceable in the countries where the Product is sold." So by buying an imported phone, the warranty is automatically void.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
ALL the stock 2.2 roms for our phone have a new recovery (3e). Because of this, the usual methods to root (the update.zip methods) don't work, and you'll get a signature verification error.

You need to root using SuperOneClick, and this will root your phone. But you also need to clear space in the /system partition in order to install busy box (you might think it is already installed, but reboot your phone and it won't be).

In order to flash .zip files, you either need to odin/hiemdall a voodoo kernel, or replace the stock 3e recovery with a modded one. I'm not going to do any linking because simple searching in the vibrant dev thread will yield you your results.
