if you use windows 7 this is what you should do

Control Panel - Folder Options - View - Hide extensions for known file types (uncheck this)

Then rename your file

Increasing memory buffer allows the camera to get more ram memory for processing the photos, so it should be faster, as for your guide you can add it!

Just flashed Leedroid 3.0.6 on a clean phone and thought I'd give this a go... Trying to use root explorer or adb push results in "out of memory" error.

Root explorer reports 5.29MB free

After attempting the paste, the original media_profiles.xml file has disappeared so now I have none at all... :eek: What will happen next time I reboot?

I've Googled around for similar problems people have had but nothing seemed to fit. The only "solution" I found was related to using the emulator and this forum also has one (unresolved) thread related to this issue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700987

I have 30MB left, and I think I had more than that when I tried this the first time. It's almost like it ignores the actual amount of space every time.

Is it necessary to be s-off perhaps?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
I think so :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SupremeBeaver:
Ok everyone, i decided to do a comparison between photos taken with and without this mod to actually determine whether the larger file sizes mean less compression. Some comparison pictures below. These are not magnified at all, just cropped from an 8MP shot. There was about 4 minutes between the shot without the mod and the shot with the mod, so that may explain some of the slight light differences. Left side is without the mod, right side is with the mod.

So as you can probably tell, there is close to no difference at all just as i had expected. Compression of the shots are handled at a lower level most likely, within the camera drivers maybe? So i would recommend against using this mod because you'll just be wasting space with each picture coming out at 4MB.

I made a similar comparison with the new Sense 3.0 camera app that has increased video bitrate. Video at 20mbps and 10mbps have no differences at all in terms of compression levels. That comparison can be seen here incase you're interested.

The Samsung App 'MiniDiary'.

This is very similar to the version Samsung put on the SGS.

Whilst it looks great it does have one major flaw..... You can not save the cards you add to the diary.

As such a fresh factory reset deletes all MiniDiary notes and photo's.

Question therefore reads ~ Has anyone found or can think of a way to recover the cards saved using MiniDiary?

If so it would be good to add this to the Topic here.
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
You could use something like titanium backup - or if you don't like that, you can just use something like root explorer to copy out it's data directory. Both requires root though, and I can't see a way around that...

The idea behind a diary app without internet syncing is terrible though, although I don't know of any that actually do sync...

EDIT: If you go into a diary entry, you can publish that one entry to facebook, or send as an email.. but yeah, hardly a backup.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Yeah, thanks Ryan. I did think Titanium and rooting would probably have to be the only option.

It was a long-shot to hope there could be a better way of syncing the data.

As you say, it is inexcusable in that Samsung provided a Diary App that you could not sync or backup.... They did it on the SGS and I complained to them then. Obviously no one listens or thinks deeper than the surface of using this App.

EDITED:

Would z4root work with the SGS II?
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
z4root will not work - only known method of rooting is flashing a different kernel. Hopefully someone finds an exploit... :D

As far as diary apps, there doesn't seem to be any internet syncing diary apps in general. So maybe nobody has thought of syncing with a blog or something yet... weird.

Maybe I should make a diary app that syncs back and forth to google docs or something, haha.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
There is Journal - Orange Diary which has Import/Export to Google Docs and Backup as well.

It also allows you to add photo's similar to MiniDiary but with Journal you can add as many photo's as you want, plus audio notes as well.

However, it doesn't have the same facility as MiniDiary to link your photo's directly to a map which is a boom, plus I rather like the eye-candy of MiniDiary.

You make a Diary app Ryan that does all this and I'll pay. :)

Does anyone know if it is possible to unmute the 3.5mm jack while using the "speaker mode"?

Reason for this: I'd like to use the phone in the car with the 3.5mm audio out connected to the aux in of the car radio while making calls so that I can hear the caller through the car speakers.

The "speaker mode" of the Galaxy is required for calling because it changes the sensibility of the microphone.

If you don't enable the "speaker mode", you will get the call audio through the 3.5mm jack, but the caller won't hear you if you don't speak directly into the microphone.

Hi,

I need some help here as Im a complete Android novice. I just rooted my SGS2 ( atleast I think I did!)

Here's the info from the phone.

Baseband version I900XXKE4

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWDD-CL161513root@DELL103 #2

Build number - GINGERBREAD.XWKE7

Now, I keep hearing people say flash the firmware. What does that mean and how do I do it? Do I even need to do it? Since Rooting, the phone feels a little laggy, any ideas why? Any help appreciated as this is my first Android phone.

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
Abit frustrating I cant post this anywhere else where I would probably get help quicker :(
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Flashing the firmware means to update your phone to a later state.

Sometimes these updates are of benefit and sometimes they are not.

Samsung offer the updates through their own software named Kies which you have to download from Samsung Support.

However, with Samsung and Kies you are:-

a. At the mercy of Samsung giving you an update.

b. Kies is notorious for sending all manner of problems to the phone.

As an example both my Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab were 'semi-bricked' (basically they were temporary unusable).

The other method is to obtain the firmware through a third-party who hands out the updates in a more timely manner.

To do this you first need to obtain a third-party App by the name of Odin.

Odin is much better than Samsung's Kies as to many others it does not render the phone inoperable.

With Odin you can recover your phone if Kies has 'semi-bricked' your phone.

Go over to here for a good long read and a visual example of the different firmware's available and how to use Odin.

It's a long process though if you are just starting out so don't be afraid to ask questions in that topic.

It is heavily populated with users so you should receive a reply. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
Huge thanks for your response. I'll have a look so hopefully things get abit clearer. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
No problem..... I wish you well.

... and thank you for the Thanks. That's another for the charity kitty tomorrow. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
One more thing if you're still around please. looking at the info i posted from the phone, do I need to update my firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
I had litteraly just switched off my laptop when my phone notified me of your message.

In answer ~ that is all subjective.

Some users have benefited from a later update where others have mentioned it has brought on issues.

Personally I don't believe in updating just for the sake of it.

I'm running very happily on the stock ROM KE2 and my phone absolutely flies.

I'll be around later tomorrow but in the meantime drop off a message in that topic I gave.

No one will think bad of you and if they do I'll leap in.

Sorry, must dash now... Have to get some sleep as it's a busy day tomorrow for me in theatre.

Im using the K-9 Mail app for me hotmail email. how do I make it delete mails from my mailbox when I delete them on the app?

Loving the phone so far though. Brilliant device.
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
2 more things, K-9 mail is pretty good but if anyone can recommend something better I'd appreciate it.

Also any good Anti virus recommended apps would also be appreciated .
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
I don't use K-9Mail nor Hotmail but I am sure the answer to this question lays with the settings on the mail server.

On a PC you should be able to log into the hotmail account and inform it to remove messages once deleted ~ i.e. not to leave a copy of the message with the mail server.
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
Brilliant, done it, again thanks for your help, Does it not mark as read unread though?
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Although I don't use K-9Mail but you should be able to alter that within the App.

Most Apps allow you to change the state of mail.

P.S. My nurses are just about to check my Thanks votes for this week.... If you are happy and want to leave a Thank You you will just get in for this weeks tally.

only complaint - Are Sammy having a laugh with the battery of this thing? :D
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Thanks... my girls will appreciate this but obviously any votes have to be earned first.

Re your battery ~ Different users are reporting different states with their battery performance.

Most battery usage boils down to what Apps you have installed and how often these Apps update their data at regular intervals.

By going through your list of installed Apps you should be able to lower the notification times or stop certain Apps updating their data updates.

Another problem seems to be with certain firmware updates.

Have a read of this short topic on the battery.

I must be not hearing you correctly as when I enter the GMail App and click on a message I then have the option to either Archive, Delete or go Back/Forward a message.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
It's all a question of what you consider a priority...

Do you put your music on the internal SD and leave the external one for other items or vice-versa.

I personally have a large 32GB MicroSD card which has all my music & movie files.

I use the internal SD to store other data which I am happy to lose should I have to factory reset and I didn't have time to backup.

Basically ~ if you factory reset you lose everything on the phone's memory.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yes and what happens if you click on 'Delete'? It just removes the entire conversation. I asked how to Delete a Single email, not the whole conversation. It's very much possible via Web, so is it possible in GMail App? I hope I made myself clear.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Now I fully understand.... Unfortunately I don't use GMail so can not immediately help you. However, I will look into it at the weekend I promise.... but it would be nice for you if someone else could pop-up with an answer as well.

[Galaxy S II General] muuu:
The classes refer to the minimum speed the card can read & write date.

The greater the class the greater the minimum speed.

Classes start at 2, then 4, 6, 8 & 10.

However not all manufacturers class rating is equal in speed. (True) (But always more then it's rating.)

i.e. A Sandisk Class 2 is greater in speed to a Kingston Class 4. (Somewhat false)

You can get a class 2 card that can read write over ~8-10 MB/s, as the rating just states that it will keep over 2 MB/s.

i.e. You only know that a standard Sandisk Class 2 can read/write at least 2 MB/s.

Unless it's r/w speed is stated somewhere on the packeting or it's description.

So look in the product description and use the "class" as a guideline to what the minimum r/w speed is.

If a company states that it's a class 2 and nothing else, then it's a luck of the draw.

You have no way to know if a Sandisk Class 2 is faster then a Kingston Class 4.
