Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like the arc launcher, I'm using adw. I got the configuration I like and it's so simple to restore exactly after I change Roms.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borecz1:
LauncherPro Plus is my favourite one. I've been using it since the very beginning and I'll probably stick to it in the future as well. I've tried few other lauchers, but I don't like all that visual stuff. LP is simple and efficient, that's how I like it ;) And it allows me to backup/restore my setting very easily and that's quite handy when flashing and changing ROMs.

[Galaxy S II General] Matchstick:
I've run into a problem withe getting the SGS2 to connect to PPTP VPNs over 3G.

I can connect fine via wifi, but if I try connecting via 3G I get the message "Server hung up. Username or password incorrect. Try again?"

I've tried two different sims (T-Mobile Uk and Three) neither of which work but if I try exactly the same thing on my Nexus S using the same SIMs the VPNs connect fine, so I'm pretty confident that it's neither a network nor a Gingerbread issue.

I was hoping this would be something that would be fixed in the latest firmware but no luck there either.

I have dumps of the raw output from the PPTP daemon I'm trying to connect to bith when I'm trying and failing to connect via 3G and when connecting via Wifi if they would help anyone trying to track this down.

-Edit-

Just updated to the new KE2 firmware and no luck there either.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
same here posted about this before.. seems a wider google bug.. but my sgs i. works fine
[Galaxy S II General] Matchstick:
I've seen phones like the ZTE Blade that could't connect to VPNs at all without a firmware update but this is the first time I've encountered on that works over Wifi but not 3G.

Surely it's got to take more effort from Samsung to achieve that than just making it work properly on both :)
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
confirmed just tested with k2 firmware.. vpn pptp still not working over 3g.. back to using my sgs i since i need that functionality..

bummer
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
come one samsung fix. this.. this is unacceptable.. some of use need this vpn funciotnality.. just take the code from the original sgs which works.
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
Same problem here. I'm on KE2 firmware. I wonder if it has been fixed on KE7....

I'm reluctant to upgrade because I have several apps installed that are not available in the market for the country I'm in right now.
[Galaxy S II General] balto:
Just tested on k7 still broken.
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
How does one go about reporting this problem to Samsung? Mine was purchased on the black market in a country where it hasn't been released yet so I don't think I can do anything. Hopefully someone in the UK or South Korea, who purchased this phone from their carrier, can report this problem to their carrier or to Samsung directly.

Here is some information that may help narrow down the problem. The the PPTP connection over 3G is 100% successful when tethering the phone to PC via wifi hotspot.
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
When you say it was working on the original sgs, which version of Android was it tested on? This might be an issue with Android since 2.2 and not specific to SGS2. Check Issue 11277 on the google code android issue site. I can't post the actual link because I'm a new member.
[Galaxy S II General] zevrosenthal:
Same problem my USA sgs2 runnuing lighten v1.3 no VPN over 3G
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
A found a way to connect to a Cisco IPsec VPN on the SGS2 and it's working on WIFI and 3G. You need to be rooted and download a program called VPN Connections 0.99 from the Softpedia website (I'm not allowed to post the link).

If you need to connect to PPTP over 3G then I'm afraid you are out of luck until Samsung does something about this problem, which they probably won't.

[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
I just did a factory reset on KF1 and it's now working!!!!!!!! Before the reset it was also not working for me on KF1. Do a factory reset, it should work.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
are you sure you are connecting over 3g not wifi and using pptp
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
Yes and yes. I can successfully connect to a PPTP VPN over both wifi and 3g after doing a factory reset on KF1. Before the reset, only wifi was working.
[Galaxy S II General] thanku:
I have checked it and can confirm it does not work over 3g but only over wifi.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
That is strange, it's working for me after the factory reset on KF1.
[Galaxy S II General] topcat36:
With KF4 firmware, factory reset, PPTP VPN still not working.

If I use the phone as mobile WiFi access point, I can connect fine with my laptop through the phone, so is definetly from android.
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
Please disregard my previous post about doing a factory reset. I have now discovered that it is only working intermittently. Sometimes it connects and sometimes I get the "server hung up...." error.

I think it was a coincidence that it connected successfully several times after doing the factory reset. If I had tried more times before doing the reset, it would have probably connected sometimes.

For sure it never worked before KF1 but with KF1 it's working 7/10 times. Tethered to the PC, it has always worked.
[Galaxy S II General] rufus7:
Same problem here. Over 3G VPN not working. It sucks.

How to report bug to Samsung?
[Galaxy S II General] topcat36:
For me it never worked. I gave today 7 retries and nothing... "Unable to connect to the server due to firewall". I have no firewall installed on the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] james1375:
If you have access to Cisco IPsec VPN then you can use this program to connect and it works over Wifi and 3G.

People,

I always do a test with new versions android in my galaxy s i9000b.

No version had working until now.

But i tried with Galnet Miui RC2 and now worked.

I did a upgrade for the Galnet Miui RC3 and stopped working the VPN.

I came back for the galnet miui RC2 and back to working normally.

I found a version that works, but I do not know whether to continue running when you leave the final.

[Galaxy S II General] djules75:
I'm in China on China Unicom.

Using Light'nin ROM 2.3.4 with XXKH3.

Tried CM7, no change.

Still cannot connect to my VPN with PPTP, but a friend of mine, with the same VPN provider and same carrier can connect with his iPhone using PPTP... So it's definitely an issue with the Galaxy S2 and not the carrier.

Also, if I use L2TP/Ipsec with PSK, it works for a while then my phone freezes/reboots... tried with several ROMs, including CM7, could not solve the issue.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] xprav:
Yesterday i noticed that the camera on WP7 has started working absolutely fine all by itself.

Earlier i was getting a tint when i tried taking pictures, and when i looked in the threads, it was said that the problem is with the camera driver.

But i checked the camera yesterday and the pictures are turning out to be perfect without any tint now. Not sure how this happened. The only change i remember making to the phone is that i installed Android on SD along with WP7.

Could this have fixed the camera on WP7, there is no relation between the two, but that was the only change i made to the phone.

I hope someone can shed some light on this.

thanks...!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Mesjefskie:
With or without flash?

Generally, when I take pictures with my HD2, they look quite good. However, when the flash is used, the pictures have a greenish tinge.

So, did your camera flash while you took the pictures?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ^^rac:
Nice!

I hope someone can shed some light on this, as the camera is the only problem i still have with the device.

I am using the .xap camera software, which is working nice, but i feel the camera has more potential......
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] xprav:
yes, the camera did flash and still took the pics perfectly, that is what i was amazed with...no idea how that worked, but i am scared to even restart the phone as i might loose it back.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Razor1973:
The tinting only happens when using the flash.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Fabian1985:
I think, (sounds a little weird) that the thing with the green light has something to do with RGB. I saw It by coinsedince..I was drinking beer in the bar, and I watched at a picture on my phone wich was taken wich when I had win6.5

I raised the BROWN beer bottle and then I saw the same and famous green light. As If I tooked It just a minute ago.

Maby It's nothing, then forgive me for saying it. Just want to help.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
well cant say its worked for me, but i think the green tint may have something to do with the timing of the flash
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Co2_13:
Dunno what you guys are smoking but dont change !

It's a good one :-)

Seriously, if i got it right, the "only" problem with WP7 installed on a HD2 is the fact that we dont have the real button to take photos.

On the HD7 you press the button half way, it setup the focus, and then you finish to press the button to take a photo, exactly like a normal camera.

On the HD2 when we press the button it just take the photo but doesnt set the focus.

Maybe I'm wrong, but i think it is the only difference, at least it is the real problem.

If you use SHCameraApp, you can set the focus by touching the screen or if you turn on autofocus in the settings and then it makes perfect photos ... and THAT's IT !

If you got accidently a good photo, that s probbaly because you was at the right distance, matching with the default focus of the HD2 or something ....

But maybe I dont get it, and in that case I would love to smoke that thing ;-)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] JC_Agga:
I hope some developers use my idea for camera app. Since HD2 doesn't have camera button, and since the volume buttons don't function when in camera mode, why not utilize the volume up button as half press and call button for taking pictures? So you would hold down the volume up button to focus, and press the call button to take a snap shot! It is actually intuitive when i tried to emulate it~
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
its not somethink that can be easily changed, its a hardware function built in to the device, WP7 isnt like WM, you cant go about changing things like that with any degree of success, until DFT release the tools to go about messing with ROMS its not even a remote possability.

[IDEA]Mapping key on HD2

After how I see things the best way of mapping buttons on HD2 with WP7 is:

Green button

- hit to open Phone

​

- hit in Phone page make a call

​

- hit in call to switch to speaker

​

Red button

- hit to turn off screen

- hit to turn off the device

- in Phone page hit to end the call

​

Start menu/windows key - hit to go to app list

​

Home button

-hit to go to home page

​

Back button

- hit to go back just like now

Volume up and down - hit them to chane volume

- but in camera hit vol down to focus and vol up to make a photo

1 click into photo app is one of the major selling points of WP7.

Don't kill it off because you can't read around icons.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] h2-d2:
I know I'm a little late here, but the autofocus on the stock WP7 camera does actually work on the HD2. Just hold the green key down while holding the phone still and the camera will focus. What is probably throwing people off is that the focusing is occurring after the shutter sound goes off. Anyway, thought this might be helpful for those who wish to use the stock camera app.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] emdelect:
Hi, just had a thought about the camera fault with WP7 and HD2.

Wasn't the original DFT rom created from the HTC Mozart?

If that is so the mozart has a zenon flash where as the HD7/HD2 have an LED flash. the timing would be different for the zenon flash and possibley Hue/White balance etc settings.

Would this explain why there is a driver issue?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mrmomba:
Yes sounds Good.

If the Mozard has Xenon.

In Physik, we tested the lightwave-lenghts und there are bit differenzen throug xenon between a "white" led!

If anyone have interessting i will searching for the test-examples. ( I hope i have this at home ).

sry for bad english...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
No it wasn't from Mozart.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ccrowe3:
Something about that confuses me. They aren't named Albert Einstein, so unless they stole some tools from Microsoft, what makes them so damn special? No one else has figured out how to do it yet and DFT isn't talking, so I think something is fishy in this situation. If it is possible then it can be repeated by someone else. All that should be missing is time and effort from a good developer. Unless DFT is illegally using Microsoft tools or other shady things... Maybe I am missing something.

I am looking for a way to have both data connections running on the Desire, is there a way to make it happen? I understand that the battery will die out quicker its just something I want to toy with. We are looking at having SIP in our factory and I noticed that while playing with SIP and due to the strict nature of our work Internet I was no longer able to access gmail/htc mail and pretty much any other data using app. This is why I want to enable GSM data as well.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.ik:
I think this will not work because there is only one 'network card' in you phone, one place where the internet connection is processed. Your phone can acces the internet either via WiFi or 3G but not both at the same time just as your computer can't do LAN and WLAN at the same time :)
