haiz..don't know what problem. but i think is because of Android Apps for xperia got problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarlyFan:
Is there an app that allows you to reassign the functions of the power button to another key? I am trying to minimize how often I have to use the power button because of the issues several of us are having with the power button.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbisch:
What are the issues with the power button?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarlyFan:
Its hard to describe, its as if the Power Button is moving into the phone it is not sticking out nearly as much as it was when it was new as a result it is becoming tougher to push as it becomes flush with the top of the phone.....

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbisch:
I know what you mean. I came from the Droid X and my first thought when using the Thunderbolt was "WTF at the power button!?" It sits too damn flush with the top of the phone. It took me a good 2-3 days to get used to it. I kept having to look at the top of the phone to get my finger in the right spot.

Anyways... are you rooted? Das BAMF has a feature that allows the volume rockers to be used to wake up the phone. You could then download something like SwitchPro and use a widget to turn to the screen off. Essentially you'd never have to use the power button then.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarlyFan:
Yes I am rooted, I have not tried any custom roms yet. I will try SwitchPro and see how that works. Thanks for the info!!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarlyFan:
SwitchPro does not have anything that looks like it would work as a power button, are there any other suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckorc:
I use the free version of quick boot and hardly ever use the power button it allows:

reboot

recovery

bootloader

Power off
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lippstuh:
don't ignore this link because its the only way to get it to wake with the volume rocker buttons
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckorc:
I also downloaded Screen Off to put my device in sleep mode. With these two apps the only time I need to use the power button is when I'm updating ROMs or I need to power on my phone.

Good luck
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crookshanks:
Did you even follow the link I posted?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbisch:
Hmm... I could have sworn that it had a button to turn the screen off. My bad man.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmtuna:
I came from the Droid X and one of the features I liked was the battery manager so at night I could set it so it wouldn't use any data after a certain time at night. Does anyone know of any apps that may work the same way. Or is something built into Bamf remix 1.6????
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viggs:
Not sure of a scheduling one but if you use the Dazzle widget you can have it shut off the data easily by clicking a button.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stanlehh:
Hi guys, just realised my Nexus S takes pretty long to charge up.

Hoping for more users to come in and share ur charging time and also to check ur charger whether it's rated at 0.7mA for output?

Stan.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudh.pullela:
How long is "pretty long"? Mine takes around 3 or 3 n a half hours usually.

But when I used my iPod's wall charger it was comparatively faster. iPod's is 1mA.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
my wall charger is 5v/0.7a, takes around 3-4 hours for a full charge, but i leave it to charge overnight ready for the morning so not 100% sure
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterescugabriel:
after charged to 94-95%, stay with display on and will charged to 99-100%
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambda30:
Define the "pretty long" term.

All Nexus S's come with the 0.7A wall charger. So the math is the following:

1500mAh / 700mA =~ 2h - DC current

1500mAh / 500mA = 3h - USB plug

So it should take aprox. 2 hours for a full charge with the wall charger, 3 hours with USB connection. That's theoretically speaking.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stanlehh:
at least 4 hours on the wall socket.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neezygfx:
Mine takes around 4 hours too. My Captivate runs circles around my Nexus S while charging. But the battery on the Nexus tends to last longer running the same programs. Both have 1500mAh.. Weird.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kresk:
About four hours from 1% to full via wall socket. Give or take a little.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markread644:
I use Battery Monitor Widget to track what is going on during charging. To avoid blowing up the battery, the charging circuit pulses the battery with current and a different profile appears to be used on USB as opposed to AC. I tried a heavy duty USB wall brick and it made no difference (1000ma/H) - the GNS still reports on USB charge so the AC wall charger has a wiring difference to USB. Some say the data lines are shorted on the AC charger telling the GNS that it is plugged directly and flagging the higher charging profile.

Basically the AC circuit takes about 3 - 3.5 hours and the USB circuit can take 4 - 5 hours. USB plugs are limited to 500 mA (or USB 1.0 used to be so I am concluding that USB 2 is the same). Anyone know different ?

The 97% charge limit seems to be the circuit limiting overcharge of the battery and if when fully charged you disconnect the charger and immediately reconnect you can squeeze an extra 2 - 3 % in to the battery. Mine reports 99 or 100 after such a cycle.

To make sure your GNS battery circuit is fully calibrated run the fone completey FLAT once in a while (50 charge cycles). This makes sure it knows what is flat and what is full. Before I did that it could take 4 - 5 hours or more to charge. After flat cycling, it is quicker. Use Battery Refresh Beta (maybe full version now) from the Market to flatten the beast........

All this assumes the stock 1500 mA battery pack. Anything else (1400 cheapies labelled 1600 or a fat 3200) will be different.

This is in stark contract to my XOOM which doesn't pulse at all but simply wacks 1500 mA in to the battery until it is full. Maybe heat disappation is not such an issue on the XOOM. I can't imagine the battery techology is much different but I don't know for sure.

[Galaxy S II General] Master05:
I never heard of "Samsung Dive" before but someone pointed out a link:

http://v2.samsungdive.com/help/guideRemoteControlsClear.do

Features for our beloved SGSII (all via internet/remote):

1. Track (helps you find your phone)

2. Lock (lock your phone and show a message on the screen)

3. Ring (helps you finding your phone by making it - who could have expected this - ring)

4. Call logs (check the call log)

5. Wipe out (completeley deletes all files on your phone, obviously remote control then won't work anymore.)

I like those features :) !
[Galaxy S II General] Master05:
is it because of me or just that samsung dive is not interesting to anyone?

either way i get ignored lol.
[Galaxy S II General] aztekkakas:
Don't worry. I asked about this on a different forum, but no one was interested. :) I don't know why. I was happy when I found out that a service like this is existent on the Galaxy S II. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Lord_Buckington:
Very interesting. Certainly another bonus to what already seems like a great device!

[Galaxy S II General] cottino:
it's a very good service
[Galaxy S II General] Potato-Dono:
Big fan of the remote sound on feature..I always forget to take it off vibrate when I come out of class.
[Galaxy S II General] vinokirk:
Sounds god to me. I like the htcsense.com for HTC devices, I can only imagine this is similar :)
[Galaxy S II General] subvertbeats:
Nice find!

Now I just need my SGS2 to be delivered (ggrrrrr DHL!!)
[Galaxy S II General] Master05:
Same feelings with me mate, eagerly waiting for it :( :)

And these features are very nice to see as we pay a premium price (for a premium phone of course ;))
[Galaxy S II General] manks:
wow - very impressed with this. I have my S2 - it's beautiful and will enable this when my sim unlock comes through tomorrow! thanks
[Galaxy S II General] arj154:
seems quite useful, i pay £15 a year for that + sms, contacts and image backup with wavesecure!
[Galaxy S II General] mmm_ok:
I posted this in another thread already, but I'll ask again....

Everything works for me... except the ' ring my phone' feature. Anyone else got this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] subvertbeats:
Nothing works for me apart from editing my account details.

As soon as I try and click on my device on the web page I get taken to a big error page:

Your request is failed. Please retry it later.
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
exactly the same :(

[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 3505524:
Btw has anyone tried Kies air? Truly phenomenal. Allows you to download and upload files to/from your phone from your computer's browser. No need for USB cables. And since it's over the same LAN network it's around the same speed as USB.

The interface isn't rushed either...it's fantastic.
[Galaxy S II General] aztekkakas:
Yeah, I really like Kies Air. But... Samsung Dive simply does not work for me...
[Galaxy S II General] Frostfree:

You do have to click the activation link in the email they send or it wont work for you.
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Keep in mind, that enabling this feature might impact your battery life considerably.

At least it did on S8500 Wave, which had battery drain problem with Samsung dive enabled.

Not sure what's the status with this at the moment?
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Hmm.. same features as HTC sense. Working fine on mine. Will it affect the battery? Will probably test it as I received my phone 4hours ago.

[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
cant get it to work :S it's really annoying :X
[Galaxy S II General] sarsh11:
I suppose the tracking feature requires the GPS to be manually switched on(i.e switched on always)? I believe there is some kind of a law preventing remote GPS activation, making this feature obsolete :[
[Galaxy S II General] padlad:
Nope, just tried it and it remotely switched the GPS on and told me the position of my phone. The phone ring is a good idea, that worked as well.

[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
not working for me :(,
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
I don't have problem using this service. Just login with your samsung account into the web. It will show you the current mobile number and the location. the location will be more accurate if your GPS is on.

FYI, Software Update will be running to track your device. So, if it's frozen it might not work i guess.

EDIT: sorry, it will automatically enable your GPS and if there's signal, you will get a more accurate position.

EDIT2: currently only available in UK and Germany

The website keeps telling me I need to have a Samsung Account....which I have...

:(
[Galaxy S II General] ijat91:

BTW, it also work although if you change the sim card, it depend on your samsung email account on your phone, not by your sim card...

[Galaxy S II General] Mikulec:
The problem is I dont have my SGS anymore, is it possible to remove it from the web?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Not working

The only thing on SamsungDive that works for me is Call Logs (well, haven't tried Wipe).

When I try to remote Ring or Lock the phone briefly shows a "sync" notification in the top left and then does nothing. So there is some reaction therefore it must be connecting to some extend, but on the website the status never changes to "connected to your mobile" and the phone never does anything in response.

As I said, Call Logs works and retrieves a whole list, albeit slowly. Same "sync" icon appears during log retrieval.

I'm in the UK, debranded t-mobile on KE7.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Strange - working witout any problems for me ...

Did you setup you Samsung account on SGS2?

Did you freeze some Samsung apps/services?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Working really nicely here too.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Still the same on KF2. Actually, on the phone there is a notification "Software Update, connecting to server..." that disappears after a while.

Has anybody got this working on t-mobile UK? Would like to get this fixed before I lose my phone 'cause I'll be kicking myself otherwise :)
[Galaxy S II General] Frostfree:
T-mobile UK here and not working. I'll pop in my vodafone sim to see if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Samsung Dive worked perfectly for me, here in Romania. I found my device and called it, but didn't try locking it or wiping data. I didn't freeze any apps and i manually switched on GPS, looks like you cannot call or find your device if GPS is off. Samsung Dive won't enable it, at least it didn't work for me.

Edit: Samsung Dive enables your GPS automatically, but only if you have an active data connection. Would have been nice if it could actually enable your data connection automatically too :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
Here doesn't seem to make a difference whether on wifi or 3g and gps is on (but that probably doesn't have an impact on making the phone ring remotely which also doesn't work).

Phone also gives an error when really checking for updates (via Settings/About Phone/Software Update/Check for update); it shows a dialog box with the same text as appears in a notification when trying to remotely control (i.e. "Software Update","Connecting to server...") and then shows an error "connection failed".

Maybe that's a hint? Dunno...

Anybody any idea how I could contact Samsung with this problem? The samsungdive website doesn't have any contact details that I can see.
[Galaxy S II General] Frostfree:
Happy to report that this works now

1) Factory reset and registered under a different gmail address and new samsung account, this removed it from my normal samsung account samsungdive screen.

2) Reset again and registered back to my normal gmail & samsung accounts.

A pain, but works.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Thanks for letting us know you got it to work. Did nothing work for you before? For me the call log can be read remotely, so it seems at least something is connected to the samsung account correctly and the phone does respond with this update/sync notification for lock/ring.

It sounds like a pain having to go through the procedure just to see if it makes a difference; I hate doing factory resets because I always forget what settings I forgot. So I'll wait until 2.3.4 is released and do it then. Hope I don't lose the phone before then. :-)

If only it was possible to wipe Samsung account settings on the phone without resetting everything :-(
[Galaxy S II General] Frostfree:
Mine didn't work at all before I reset, I just got a blank screen with an error message on the samsungdive site. I must say the support from Samsung on every issue I've raised with them has been shockingly poor, makes me long back to the days I owned Apple products!
[Galaxy S II General] h_kiat:
Working fine with my SG2. Turns on the GPS automatically and shows me the location.

Everything works except the wipe phone feature which I did not try!

Debranded phone from O2 fyi.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I didn't have any problems with the Samsung account. Got it work immediatly. The only problem is that it seems that enormous battery drain started after enabling that..
[Galaxy S II General] Kelvin.T:
T-Mobile UK here

First time with Samsung and Samsung ACC + Dive.

Everything fine. Tracking works with GPS ON or OFF manually ("system update" icon pop up and auto turn on GPS). However it said i have interruptions in GPS reception so its not pin point where i am. but somewhere nearby (i will say a 5 mins walk length).

The call log retrieve works. show phone numbers, duration but not the contact name.

The remote call works too but im not sure wats the point of it as the phone user can end call. so i guess u can keep call to annoy him? (or to find ur phone still on?)

haven't try lock or wipe ofcourse.

To CandyAndy

Try go Setting>Applications>Running Services

And you will see a long list of stuffs running on ur mobile at the background.

Maybe limit it down will save ur battery life

I simply can't add Samsung account in account. There is no such option. :confused:

My Dive won't lock my SGS2

Hi there.

I've just tried all functions on Samsung Dive..

Track, Ring and Call Log ...... all work fine.

Wipe Out I have not tried, for obvious reason.

BUT

exactly the most important, imho, that is LOCK, isn't working.

In the website, it shows as connected to the phone and succeed sending the command. In the phone, the blue/red arrows appear in the top. but the phone simply doesn't lock.

I'm using WIDGET LOCKER...... can it be related to this soft?
[Galaxy S II General] nobleskill:
Yes more than likely.... one sure fire way to find out though so be sure and let us know how it goes on the stock lock. Also maybe try some wl settings? Persistence beats resistance when used properly!!

[Galaxy S II General] Rodrigo_V_U:
Done. it's totally related to WIDGET LOCKER. I just disabled it and the phone appeared as LOCKED , since yesterday ...... even using it normally.

Now I need to figure out if there is any config in WL to allow it to lock the gadget through Samsung Dive
[Galaxy S II General] nobleskill:
I'd try enabling system persistence in wl settings.

I love the themes for wl but its always been too buggy for me, but I've only had Samsung in my android phones so Maybe it's a touchwiz specific thing? Actually try home helper i think it was called. Its a plugjn of sorts but i remember there being some juicy ones in its settings...

Next would be to contact the developer to see if they would like to have a look see...

Solution for Samsung Dive not work( For most people )

If you guys going to try the Samsung Dive, do it with 3G or HSDPA. Wifi hardly work ..usually takes a long time. So to make sure samsung dive works well, make sure ur Data is activated
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
I cannot make it work either.

I have an UNBRANDED stock ROM 2.3.4 with KI1.

I have my phone rooted.

I had set on the phone the Samsung Account.

I had set on the phone to enable the remote control.

And when I try to ring the phone, I see for a second two arrows (gray and green) on the top left of the screen... and then nothing.

It doesn't do anything.

I try other SamsungDive services with WiFi or 3G... And nothing, always the two arrows and no acction from the phone. On the SamsungDive.com website, it never gets to "Connecting to your mobile".

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] vcosmin:
is not available in Romania... Actually is not available in most of the world.

That's why i bought a Kaspersky Mobile Security for my SGSII after loosing my SGS...
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
Someone told me that the number on the SIM should be the same as the number on SamsungDive.com.

Does anyone knows how to change the number on the SIM using the SGS2?

With the "number on the SIM", I mean: "My phone number".

I love Samsung Dive and it actually saved my phone today!

I work in an open office with lots of people coming in and out throughout the day. I had left my SGSII on my desk while I was busy sitting in a meeting, just like I usually do when I'm at work. Anyway, I get back to my desk a little later and notice that the phone wasn't sitting in the cradle where I had left it charging. Checked my bag, every pocket, jacket - nothing. I quickly logged into Dive and saw that the phone was still on and moving further and further away from my building, around a kilometer away from where I was sitting at that point in time.

I called the cops immediately after that and explained my situation, which direction the phone was heading and so on. They get a patrol car to near where the phone was located on the map in around 5 minutes. I keep giving the cops directions on which way the phone is moving and it quickly becomes clear that the thief is moving on foot on the same street the cops are on. They park the car, get out and continue on foot. We keep talking on the phone and when they reach the exact point the phone is on on the map, I turn on the alarm. The cops identify the thief immediately and nab the guy right off the street. Fast forward 30 minutes and I'm happily reunited with my phone. :)
