[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmotta90:
Since I've changed my stock rom I have problem with my sensors. When I launch various games witch use them (for e.g. teeter or some flying game) It always pull on the left when the screen is stable. There is no calibration tool in my rom (2.2.1 froyo_Achotjan_V01.4 27/04/2011) so I dont know what to do with this.

Plz help me, its very annoying in gaming.

sry for my bad english

cheers!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volpad:
did you tryed reflashing the rom?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmotta90:
Yes, I did but it didn't solve the problem. I tried out also other ROMs (Stock SE and Wolfbreak's) but the problem doesn't dissapear. Is there any way to calibrate the sensor (not in ROM)?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perus:
Hello!

Going from the official 318 2.2 (EU) to 351 2.2.2 (also EU) it seems that the WiFi sleep doesn't work anymore, WiFi never sleeps regardless of settings. I've done a FR but no difference. Also tried with the App "WiFi Sleep" without success. The reason for me wanting the WiFi sleep is that it consumes less battery than UMTS because of the range to the router.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there a fix that works w/o root?

/Per
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocolat2:
Same problem here. No solution found. Tried my wifi fix, without success. Very annoying problem.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocolat2:
Fixed. With advancend wifi lock. Wifi goes to sleep when screen turns off.

The problem now is wifi does not wake up when the screen turns on. :D

I do not know which is the best option.

Is it possible to buy PAYG from P4u and the phone is locked? Because yesterday when I wanted to buy PAYG for £499.99 the staff told me that is better to get the sim free version £530. I ask him why then he told me that the PAYG will be locked to network. (Whichever sim / network you choose your phone will be locked to that network). Is it true or he want me to buy £530 version?
[Galaxy S II General] En_croute:
02 are selling locked PAYG Handsets for £399. (Plus £10 sim card if not on 02)

Unlock, via a well known website, is £15, you loose the 02 warranty, but still have the Samsung 2 yr warranty.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
I ordered yday but it seems on their website now they remove PAYG for SGS II.

I'm not sure whether my order went through because I cant track my order and no email confirmation. So just wondered if SGS II sold by P4u can be locked with any network?
[Galaxy S II General] -jen94ek-:
SIM free

Hi my is factory unlocked-ph4u
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
When I enquired about this phone at Phones4U last week (before upgrading to it through O2), I was told by the guy there they never sell locked phones and they're always direct from the manufacturer.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Is yours sim free or PAYG?
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
I knew that all these while but why did that P4u guy told me is locked on PAYG? Sounds fishy to me as he keep on pushing to get the sim free version. What even more weirder is I ask him the phone will be locked to what network and he say to any network I choose. Is is possible? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] tidusuk123:
I'm a store manager at phones 4u. All our galaxy s2 stock and in fact all our pay monthly stock handsets afe unlocked. We don't make much from selling the gs2 on pay as u go so we hold stock back for pay monthly as stock is limited. Selling it at a sim free price makes us about double the amount of money compared to payg. Btw anyone wanting a contract gs2 in London just let me know :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
That justified his action but the thing I dont understand is why he told me the phone is locked on PAYG. :( Maybe he just want to push the sales for sim free but if P4u are not going to offer PAYG then they should've not put it in the advert. Anyway I just want to know whether is true or not that the phone is locked on PAYG. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tidusuk123:
100% unlocked whether bought on payg, simfree, or on pay monthly.

You could save yourself some money though and buy it o2 for £399. My one came locked but I got it unlocked for £15 and then I followed the guide someone else posted to debrand the handset. Total cost is 414 for the same thing and takes very little effort.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Get it from Carphonewarehouse! They come unlocked. Mine came unlocked. And it was a contract phone! Got the sim card separately!
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
I ordered from O2 before they took down PAYG so now i'm waiting for delivery. But I bought another set from CPW too. Give it one to my GF.

It's a bit of a daft rule really - just because you're new, doesn't mean you haven't something sensible to say ( and after seeing some of the dumb drivel in the Devs thread ! PLEASE !!! )
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
It's not daft at all. It is in place to reinforce the rule of not asking questions in the development section.

The xda guide does very clearly explain this point.

Yes, some people do get that point from day one but it is a necessary evil because the vast majority can't follow rules.

-edit-

>This OP was from a user that is currently deciding which new handset to upgrade/change too. And has been wanting this handset for a long time, but now is having second thoughts<

-edit end-

Good news and bad news

Good news: Just been into Carphone Warehouse. And discovered Talk Mobile do a tariff. 12 month, £30/month, 400 mins, texts and Unlimited data with no fair usage limit. Handset £179. That in my eyes is a cracking deal.

Bad news: Handset looks nice, but has the ergonomics of a shoe box. Does not feel nice in the hand at all. Compared to my HD2. I maybe use to how my fone feels, but the edges just felt too square.

Also i tested both phones on moneysavingexpert.com homepage. The colours were perfect on the SG2. HD2 colours looked washed out. But I was testing clarity of the small letters. Both were identical. Iphone 4 is the yardstick for this and it fails.

So im passing on this and waiting for the HTC Sensation. The look and feel is paramount, u cant touch memory, so shouldnt miss it too much.

SG2= ergonomic fail.

I want to view pages without having to zoom all the time and read pdfs. Nice phone but no cigar, this time

Sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
to each its own. I couldnt stand my hd2 after having my galaxy s for a year. But it comes down to persoal preference. Im pretty sure theres some happy people enjoying there devices.
[Galaxy S II General] MaxReality:
I agree. Nothing wrong with the phone, I just have a specific requirement to be able to use service manual pdf's on the move so i dont have to dig out the laptop.

Dont wanna troll. Just thought people who havent handled one yet maybe interested.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Having just upgraded from a HD2 yesterday I don't agree at all - the Galaxy S II feels a lot nicer in the hand. However, thanks to it's plastic construction, there is no doubt it feels less sturdy than HTC's offering. I get the impression that, despite the Gorilla Glass, one drop of this thing onto a hard surface would lead to a world of hurt. I'm not saying that is definitely the case but it feels that way.

I have a FlexiShield skin on order and I will feel a lot more comfortable once my phone is in it. I bought one for my HD2 18 months ago when I first got it and it saved it from at least a couple of drops. Superb cover.

On a side note, is anyone going to bother with a screen protector? I have never had a Gorilla Glass phone before so don't know the likelihood of it scratching. I much prefer touch-screen phones with no protector but for obvious reasons it's not a good idea.
[Galaxy S II General] shabs52:
lots of people aren't bothering with ascreen protector. they bring a good point that... anything that can scratch the gorilla glass will probably pass through any screen protector anyway. having said that... i'm getting one. i have one for my GS as well.

as for the GS II i just may not put it on yet
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
I like the shape of the sgs 2, very thin and light makes it ideal shape.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah, we really needed to know this. Nobody is forcing you to buy anyone phone so if you don't like this one there is no need to run home, jump on the interwebz and make a thread on the forum about it.

I hope you like which ever phone you do get.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Dropped my SGS multiple times on hard flooring, concrete and Asphalt and despite thinking one drop and it was a goner the thing doesn't have a scratch on the screen, body still looks new and works perfectly. I wonder if the SGS II is the same way but I will not be dropping it anytime soon to find out.
[Galaxy S II General] rob_h:
I love my Galaxy SII but it seems that you might be better off with a 7in tablet such as the Galaxy Tab or maybe a bigger tablet such as the Advent Vega or iPad.

I personally couldn't read PDFs on a screen smaller than 7in for very long.
[Galaxy S II General] kampf:
This is good info for me. Nexus One owner and I sported an HD2 for a few weeks and loved the feel and size, knowing it had the dimensions of my next phone (G2x was a failure for me).
[Galaxy S II General] Burko:
OP must have small hands, and you know what they say!

Small hands...........

Small gloves...
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
yeh I know what your on about I went from iPhone 4 to gs2 and text is so hard to read with no reflow option, but I gain so much more with customization, and the weight is great, the iPhone feels like such a brick now.

in saying that I had a hd2 and really missed it after I got the iPhone, thought I could get that feeling back with the sgs2 but it's not the same hd2 is a quality product.

enjoy your sensation and thanks for being honest in the lions den lol
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
i do agree with the [OP] regarding the "ergonomic fail" thing.

..and this is coming from a Samsung phone fanatic like me :p

personally, i don't like at all the shell design of the SGS2, i'll definitely not use the SGS2 naked, it looks simply disgusting... seriously, for the lack of a better word to describe its design.

unfortunately i love all the technology packed inside that "disgusting" shell :p so is either take it or leave it, and i choose to take it ;)

so the ergonomic fail became a non issue for me, as i'll be replacing the case, and using with a protection case, and other accessories i always slap onto all of my phones; i praise the after market accessories people to make the impossible possible ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Disgusting? Seriously? Dear me, it takes all sorts I guess and the world would be a boring place if we all had the same opinions.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
IMO: I like very much the design, I can hold it in one hand and even type with one hand, it holds perfectly in my right hand... Even ergonomically I like it. It's simply perfect for me.

It's up to you to choose another phone. I would never choose another now. Especially HTC sensation which have many things less than Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
+10 I find the design very nice unlike some here

And I would never change it for nothing on the market that's just a piece of beauty, a very thin piece actually

What I don't understand is the point of this topic ? If you feel it not as you want anyone else could feel it in the hand differently like me. And many peeps have already said they like the feel in the hand in this thread so your opinion can't be taken for facts until someone interested in it hold it for real :/ anyway...
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
Pitching in on the ergonomics of the device being awesome, for me anyway. If you have really small hands then this will probably be a pretty bad phone for you, since it wont fit comfortably into a normal grip. That aside, for people with average or large hands, this design works very well. You can keep a very firm grip on it easily, and one handed operation works too, all while having a 4.3" screen.

Not sure about the people saying it feels cheap or anything, unless you correlate cheap with light - because it's very light. If this is the case, you can buy a nice big heavy cover for the device to make it feel heavier and sturdier - but that seems really stupid to me. A phone is meant to be mobile, the lighter the better.

Phones won't be perfect until they're razor thin, bendable, and weight as much as paper! And the SGS2 is firmly on the right track.
[Galaxy S II General] darkninja157:
To me I'm loving everything about the phone, ergonomics included. I don't have huge hands but find the phone very easy to hold and use for one handed operation.

As for a screen protector I will say a big NO. I work for a Verizon retailer and we have a demo line hooked up to their version of the first galaxy s, the fascinate, that also has gorilla glass. Being inquisitive and it being a demo line, I decided to test the durability of gorilla glass. Grabbed a phillips head screw driver and preceded to try and scratch the screen. Repeatedly I scraped it, scratched back and forth quickly, and somewhat violently tried to stab it. Wiped off the screen with a micro-fiber cloth and not one scratch or mark on it, gorilla glass is really some remarkable stuff.

I'm not saying its impossible to damage it, but it will take some serious effort. Since most of you guys probably take care of your phones anyway, with gorilla glass your screen will be fine. A screen protector on gorilla glass just seems redundant :p .
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Problem is... the old galaxy didn't have an oleophobic coating. You try taking a screwdriver to that and the coating WILL come off. The screen will be resilient, but not the coating, sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] MaxReality:
At the end of the day, apart from it going dark. I entered the store :) but left :(

The HD2 is such a class act to follow, it's replacement has a to be nearly as iconic.

And only then will I splash the cash.

We are all Android fanboi's so whatever we rock is cool. :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorenzoxda:
Hello,

I see there are big difficulties in installing european firmwares on the verizon galaxy tab.

This one also lacks european languages, files are missing.

I was wondering if at least it is possible to change the CSC to the italian one so that all the applications installed use it_IT as the default locale.

I've seen various methods for changing CSC but no one applied to CDMA tablets.

Somebody has done this and can help?

I thought that's what the "user dictionary" was for? Maybe that's only good for the correction piece.

How do i stop notification sounds from playing during music shuffle? Its driving me nuts. I do have a folder named notifications on my sd card with all the blackberry notification sounds. I have tried renaming that folder but they still play. W.T.F? I have read a fix before, but cant find it now. Anyone know how?

Hey Guys, there are a few threads with Polaris but not that much information. I was hoping as more and more of you get the tablet maybe someone could answer this for me. My tablet is hopefully coming on the 12th from best buy but I wanted to find this out now if possible.

I am in sales and my order forms are in excel and all I need them to do is basically click the cell and have a 1 appear. That will order the item and this is handled on microsoft office with a macro. First question is does polaris work with macros?

Right now, I am doing this on an Ipad and its very frustrating to click the cell have the big keyboard pop up then have to type 1 and then move on to the next item, but with the keyboard taking up half the screen.

I hope this question is clear and thanks for your help...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Matmatt:
any answer?

Hi, I'm too looking for an application that can use macro( like excel) on android

Before, I was under windows mobile and I used "spread". Does anyone know if something like that exist on android?

Don't think macros will work

If you have the keyboard then it's easier, but I've personally found polaris version of excel really slow - tempted to try out a competitor....

i rooted my TB and installed Titanium Backup. i receive an error message. "Sorry i could not acquire root privileges. this application will not work. Please verify that your rom is rooted."

i have BusyBox 1.18.4 installed

i ran the app "Root Check" which returned "Congratulations you have root access" however under the detailed results there is the following additional information:

standard su binary location: /system/bin/su: No such file or directory

alternate su binary locatoin : /sbin/su: Permission denied

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
open titanium, look at bottom of screen & tap "problems?" then tap "get busybox". titanium does not play well with some versions of busybox, and this downloads a version that works with tibu

thanks sublimaze "fix permissions" in RomManager seemed to do the trick.

do you have a second to share what you mean by "do everything thru recovery" and "recovery menu" is there a recovery feature somewhere in the stock phone options? if so does that option return the phone to its original factory state? and how is that feature accessed?

thanks

with the phone off press power button and volume down at the same time. select recovery. from there i do my back ups, restores, flash roms etc. Just make sure you have deleted the PG0IMG.ZIP from your sd card before doing this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knave68:
Most custom roms have an option to reboot into recovery from the power down menu...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masInvasion:
Did u install ClockWork Mod?

That's the recovery he is talking about.

If not go into rom manager and the first option is to flash clockwork mod, that's what u need to do to install it.

Before u install it press menu button > clear download cache & menu button > settings > erase recovery.

Now flash ClockWork Mod!

To get into ClockWork, either hold down volume down and power or click reboot into recovery in rom manager.

First thing u do in clockwork is use volume keys to scroll down to backup/restore and click power button(or home key) then chose backup(backup is ur friend).
