[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
exactly. thought everything would be fine if i send them for repairs, but none of them who are supposed to repair my phone figure anything out. obviously there is another issue worse than SGS being bricked. :mad:

By the way, would you try giving a shot by installing the Nexus Drivers and let me know if it works? My phone is still in the shop with people trying to figure it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathclutch:
i already had these drivers installed yday :S thru the sdk manager,that was when my pc detected my phone,odin detected it,i goto flash,n boom ,all gone,so i assume the drivers r still there but my phone isnt gettin detected no matter what,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:

What OS do u have on your comp?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
I'm using Windows XP. Tried on Windows 7 too and other Windows XPs. I was briefed that something has went really corrupted in my phone. Hard disk corrupted?

It all happened when I restore what i Backup-ed from the Recovery Mode. I was told that is a stupid thing to do which cause my phone to be screwed up.

To be reminded, my phone was in deodexed JVK stock ROM.

BlueMuze, a bluetooth music sharing program, now on the Android Market

One of the "best new apps of the week" -Android Police (3/8/11)

WEB LINKS

Trial: https://market.android.com/details?i...acket.bluemuze

About BlueMuze

You don’t have to be a fan of the movie High Fidelity to remember the 80s and 90s culture of making mixtapes for friends. (Though it was a great movie).

Handwritten lists on the back of cassettes, CDs adorned with sharpie titles — these things probably seem like distant memories in the digital age.

But our desire to share music that inspires us, that makes us laugh, that moves us, never left. It’s just the technology that surrounds how we interact with music, that has changed so rapidly.

BlueMuze aims to help bring back this ability. Transfer custom-made playlists, and the music files/MP3s that go with them, directly to your friends.

Select some songs, put them in the order you want, give your playlist a name, then send it to a friend.

You will only ever need the Trial version to receive music from someone else.

To send music, you can use either the trial or full version but the trial is limited to sending 7 songs at a time.

Thanks and please enjoy/post feedback/etc!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] atlanteh:
does it work as a player too?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alostpacket:
Hi atlanteh,

The answer is "sort of".

It does have a built-in mini player you can use to preview songs and listen to playlists. You should be able to see the player in the screenshots :) At times I have used this as my main music player but mostly because it's familiar to me.

But it wasn't designed to function as a main music player. Rather it was designed as an easy way to organize and share music between devices.

So, for instance, the mini player has the "standard" controls for Fast Forward, Rewind, Play/Pause, and a scrubber. However the other controls are related to moving a song around in a playlist (move to first, move to last, move next, move previous, select/deselect, remove from list, etc).

I'll definitely be adding a few more regular player features in the future, but for now it's not meant to replace other players, just compliment them.

Hope that helps answer your question.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] soraxx:
one of my favourites apps!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alostpacket:
Thank you very much soraxx!

Always very glad to hear users enjoying our software :)

Also, 1.4.6 should be out tomorrow(ish) and will include major imrovements to WiFi as well as a manual connection method as a fallback.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alostpacket:
1.4.6 is out! phew :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alostpacket:
1.4.7 is out :)

-Bugfix release

-Major rewrite of playlist backup/restore & folder handling

-This should address most issues users may have been seeing

-Fixed an issue with Bluetooth connections faililing on first try

-Fixed an issue with Wi-Fi manual connections

As always if you have any issues please email me and let me know!

Note: the playlist backup & restore is still in beta as a feature. Please let us know if you have any problems whatsoever. Please be sure to make extra backups of playlist files to you PC (just in case)

known issues:

1) Playlists created in Google Music Beta are not visible in BlueMuze.

- Unfortunately there is little we can do for this issue. All 3rd party music apps have this problem. This is because Google hides the playlists it creates.

We urge you to please write Google and ask them follow their own "open data" policies and allow playlists to be seen by other apps. To learn more about Google's own policy, visit this Google website: http://www.dataliberation.org/

2) Playlists use a forward slash / as a folder separator.

This is not a bug but rather the default folder separator for Android. However we hope to add a tool to help with converting files for the desktop in the future.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnDoe01:
Before ordering mine, a small poll :)

(Edit : "Your Phone", meaning your new S2 of course !!! )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golf2vr6:
No!!!

Because i have a N97 now, i guess in a few days i'll be happy with my SGS2 ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
So far yes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2001uk:
Yes, absolutely. I can see this potentially breaking my record for longest-owned phone.

As long as the gps is good, and doesn't cut out mid-journey (****ty DHD), it'll be perfect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9mmpistol:
Definitely. Coming from the hero I am struggling to cope with the speed of this thing! It surprises me every time I launch an app! Touch wiz lasted about an hour before I tried to change the dock and it wouldn't let me. Golauncher ruins like a dream.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBlueGreen:
I would pick first option but i don't have the phone yet :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sckc23:
absolutely love it and i can yet think of a thing i'm not happy about. i feel sorry for my old desire which looks bulky and slow compare to this..=)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2001uk:
Open the app drawer, then press menu and choose edit. Now you can longpress the dock icons, widget style, then drag them to the app drawer. You can put whatever you want in the dock, although I believe only 3 apps (because the drawer needs an icon)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuboidRC:
TouchWiz lasted about an hour for me too. It was actually the same problem that made me download ADW but even though I worked out how to do it, there's no reason to stick with it. The app drawer was such a mess, 6 pages of unsorted crap and no apparent way to sort alphabetically. I'm hearing more and more about Golauncher, I must try it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if any one dares to say not happy, you better have a very very good reason why :p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dickie2007:
Same here, my Hero is heading for Fleabay!!!

THIS PHONE IS AMAZING, and i actually really like Touchwiz, and as there was an app drawer sorter for the SGS, i'm sure one will come for this!

Might switch to ADW like i had on my Hero, especially with all that screen real estate, i can fit 6 rows on the home screen!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
3 questions from a future potential buyer:

1 - Does this finally have a Notification LED? (or do we have to use another backlight hack?)

2 - Does the phone get warm/hot during browsing especially with whites backgrounds? (Any temperature posts would be extremely welcomed, since this was an annoying issue with my Galaxy S)

3 - Does the phone feel too big? (length wise)

^ I always felt 4' was the sweet spot for phones. Your thoughts?

TIA!... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PearsonDKA:
Pretty much what I was wondering. Just sold my Cappy for $500 and was looking for the next beast of a phone. Since the Atrix is uh.."limited", the sensation not out as yet, I guess the SGS 2 is probably my best bet, but a few questions, Im in Canada and:

1. Would it work on Rogers?

2. Am I even able to get it over here? 2a. And how?

Every freeken time i take out my phone some one wants to play with it.

and all these iphone 4 users keep getting dribble over my fone from salivating over its speed and flash support.

Owe and the worst thing some looser called steve jobs keeps emailing me asking if he could borrow it.

I should have kept my iphone 4 no one batters and eye.

Owe well the hassle continue.

LOL jokes im still waiting but i expect it to be like that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raymond77:
1. No

2. Not noticably

3. It's not comfortable for long phone calls (as I discovered last night), but for general usage it's about the right size for me. Despite it's gargantuan scree it is so svelte and quite ergomical, so it doesn't feel ridiculous in the hand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenkinson6a:
Coming from a Touch Pro 2 (WM6.5) this phone is soooooooo fast and absalutly love it but there are a couple of things I miss.

1. Physical keyboard obviously expected

2. Notification LED

3. TomTom guess ill try iGO

4. No proxy support for Wifi which i need at Uni
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoVR:
Still getting used to mine, coming from a Desire with Oxygen ROM..

+ points

battery life seems better than desire

Screen is gorgeous!!

It plays MKV files

Its much lighter than the desire

its blazing fast

current - points (subject to change)

Still not used to touchwiz.. might change for launcherpro

keyboards - the standard samsung is good but annoying with predictive txt turned on, swype is a bit tricky when trying to use phone one handed, the stock gingerbread keyboard takes up too much of the screen.

no notification LED - NoLED drains battery quite quickly if left for a while.

lots of samsung-related crap.. not interested in the hub-things.

all in all im a happy camper, im sure ill be even happier once the rom chefs get to work on it :D

But still waiting for the comfirmation email from provider. They are checking my credit score. 30 pound from 3 network. 24 months conctract. 900 minutes and 1 GB data. already have a SGS and love it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergusstrachan:
Don't flame me now... just my 2 bob's worth :-) :

1. Battery life is woeful at the moment. Okay, only 2 days in, but if it doesn't improve a LOT in the next few days, bye bye.

2. Video camera is nice, but jerky at high res. Makes it pointless recording at 1080 cos it hurts the eyes watching it back.

3. I like a search button.

4. Is it much faster than the Desire? I'm not sure.

I'm just a bit underwhelmed by it, tbh.

On the positive side, the screen is great and it's light as all hell! (and it's pretty light in hell cos of all the fires, innit)

Gonna try the LG 2x now for a couple of days and compare. £100 cheaper at the mo, but if the SGS2 comes down to 400 as well as has been suggested, it probably doesn't stand much chance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peadarog:
How long is your battery lasting?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergusstrachan:
About 8hrs at the mo, that's with my normal bluetooth music and playing about; same amount of use as the Desire, which gives me the whole day no problem.

Mate, it's not my intention to annoy anyone, I'm just kind of saying what comes to mind.

Do you not think the speaker situation is less than optimal?

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't answer your question. Yes I own one since Thursday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
I have the phone since Wednesday and I don't see, or hear for that matter, what your beef with the battery and speaker is. Also about the phone only having only one speaker, are you expecting 5.1 sorround speaker system?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2001uk:
I'm still refusing to properly comment on the battery because I've been hammering this beast constantly since buying it on Tuesday. I just can't put it down (and I've owned Androids since the G1!)

It just wouldn't be fair to comment on the current battery performance, although I've gotta say it's lasting longer than expected (ok, so one minor comment).

Does anyone know what the little hole is above the volume rocker? It probably says in the manual bit I'm allergic to those things...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergusstrachan:
Well that's encouraging. Hopefully the battery life will improve.

I don't expect 5.1 but maybe speakers on the side so they don't get muffled by whatever it's sitting on.

*sigh* I think I need to find a way to get my hands on this phone before ordering. It seems like it has tons of potential, but I'm not sure if I want to drop "guinea pig" money on it like I did on the Atrix.

Then again I could still seeing myself impulse buying this thing, and once kicking myself again later... :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
I actually need the Notification LED for work, but I'm sure the backlight mod will end up working for this.

Kinda funny since I just read their full review before heading over here... :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incarniac:
I came from TP1 to HD2 and soon got used to the lack of a physical keyboard - I think now I would never go back (if that was even a possibility in terms of specs), purely due to form factor. I'm currently eyeing the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the HTC Sensation to replace my HD2 (with Android), although I haven't made my mind up if I will go for either of them yet. In the meantime I'm keeping an eye on threads like these :)

As for TomTom - a some (offline) turn-by-turn sat navs to read up about (and some offer trial) are CoPilot Live, Navigon, Sygic Aura and NDrive. It's also worth taking a look at this page for reviews/summaries - including the user comments at the end. If you're happy with one that requires an internet connection then, as someone mentioned, Google Navigation is very good.

Correct...long pressing the 'Home' button takes you directly to a Google search screen. Long press is actually only about half a second.

Celebration!!

Hi

Im 99% happy with my SGII

After few years on HTC I get bored.

HTC lost good name for me after sending back two DHD and HD7 all these 3 phones were badly badly made!

Also my problems with my HTC HD2 witch was 6 x time yes 6time in 2 months in repair and finally 3 time swaped

HTC is amazing bullsh.. TODAY.

99% today for plastic battery cover.

I think nice metal or alloy cover will be 105%

Speed,design, already rooted, HDMI usb convertor,BEST

PS: TECHRADAR are just USERS paid for nothing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxdraed:
If they used metal, the device would have been heavier and would loose a part of its magic -> It's lightness. Furthermore since it has a dual core, they preferred to use an insulating material rather than a conductor. Probably with metal the device would become very hot with long use. This does not happen with plastic.

So that makes u 105% satisfied with your new device :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouvax:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -jen94ek-:
Metal is more than plastic

No!Not sure why but like HTC they put metal back almost in

every newish phone. Yep all of than had +-30g more than sgsII

Don't care about worming up if is less that 50.)

Ok if not metal than hard plastic cover.

By the way It's to light!Put some metal in it:)

Battery

Love the phone to bits, beats the hell out of my old Galaxy S in every way. Thing that shocks me most is the battery life.

First Galaxy I was constantly looking for ways to conserve power, screen brightness on lowest setting, turning all my connections off regularly, using every single battery saving app on the market.

S II I have my screen brightness on max, wi-fi always on, heavy internet use and the occasional hourly tirade on Robo Defense. My battery lasts a whole day easily. It's great that I have a chance to enjoy the phone rather than worrying bout the freakin battery.
