[Galaxy S II General] tonynz:
Hi guys,

Is there a way to chill out the vibration on this phone?

Everytime I receive an email or I get an appointment reminder, the phone vibrates for like two seconds.

It should just chill out and give me a short vibrate.

I have managed to tone down the vibration on SMS using SMS popup but appointments and emails are still hyper.
[Galaxy S II General] harolds:
Menu > Settings > Sound there you will find Vibration as well as Vibration intensity.
[Galaxy S II General] dbum:
He's obviously not talking about the haptic feedback.

Noticed that as well. Any notification vibrates so long you think it's a call.
[Galaxy S II General] zxz88:
Been looking at this, using Handcent has let me change the text vibrate pattern but nothing for emails. I've read that people have used tasker to do it instead.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I set vibro and sound off for all apps that use notifications, because I do not need to feel them - I use the notifications whenever I view the screen.

I think the length of vibro MAY depend on the length of the SOUND tone you set for specific notifications? like it was with old dumb phones? Try picking a shorter sound.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Just put it in your pocket and smile all day long .

Hi

I have upgraded the sgs to the latest update yesterday via the KIES, but the problem still persists. When i am playing music or audible stuff after approximately 25 minutes it automatically stops???

Even when I stop the music or audio book say 20 minutes in it will stop in the next 5 minutes???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
do you have taskkiller or auto killer or advanced task mgr.. autokill on?

that is what it sounds like

the fact that it is so tied to a time.. bet you have autokill every 30 min.

if so you need to exclude those.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greenzee:
I'm test driving a G2x for a few days, considering an upgrade from the Vibrant S. One thing I find that is kind of annoying is the "battery fully charged" window stays at the forefront when my alarm goes off, which doesn't allow me to use the screen swipe to mute or snooze my alarm. Since I stick my phone on the charger on my nightstand each evening, and use the phone alarm every morning, the alarm is always going off when the phone is fully charged.

If I press the volume down button on the side it quiets the alarm, but I'd prefer to use the screen if possible. Any setting or fix for this?

Thanks for any guidance you can offer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
What? When does the battery fully charged use a popup window? I know the Galaxy S 2 does this, which is one of the current bugs.

But I've never seen this on the LG G2x unless you are using a special Alarm app.

Every morning my alarm goes off and I choose Snooze or Dismiss from the Alarm Popup. Never have I seen a battery popup, that would be stupid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
My stock G2x pops up a window that says "Fully charged, please disconnect your charger from the wall to save power" which has nothing to do with the alarm, and which must be dismissed first to interact with the alarm!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greenzee:
Exactly! Makes for a fumbling start to my day as I first unplug the phone to dismiss the alarm.

On the plus side there's no "alarming" notification when the phone is fully charged, like the Vibrant belches out. Talk about a ridonkulous "feature".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Weird.

I never experienced it. I don't think my battery ever reaches 100. Always says 99. Of course I'm on CM7 so maybe that was their "fix".
[Xperia Arc General] Leafhill:
Hey all!

I have a serious problem with my Xperia Arc. The phone application is often very slow to start (start time after selecting a number over 30 seconds) or some times doesn't start at all. Often after having this problem it is not solved even by reboot but I have to remove the battery and put it back in to be able to make phone calls.

I'd stay that this is very serious issue in a phone (can't call anyone). Is anyone else having this problem? Should I return the phone? Is it just this one phone that has the problem or is the arc in general?
[Xperia Arc General] IntMD:
Try reinstalling the firmware
[EVO 4G General] Globetrahter:
Could any specific slow my 3G internet speeds down? I dont think they can plus I restored back to a new phone but my internet speeds in a Big City is 70kbits per second according to 2 different Speedtest apps.

I used those because I noticed my speeds were really slow for some reason doing everything internet related.

I took to Sprint and they said nothing was wrong with my phone (which I know it is compared to my friends EVO and the display EVO at the store. They pretty much laughed at me for using a 3rd party app and he told me that "we (sprint) never say were giving u a specific speed to download with , its not like were TimeWarner" QUOTE, I told him I know I work for Apple and I support the iPhone, Im a senior specialist there so I know about phones and troubleshooting them etc

But either way is this a fixable issue or new phone? and I just got this phone on Thursday

My 3g speeds are really slow as well im getting 0.6 Mbps. My 3g is so bad i cant even use it in my city. Called sprint about it 3 times and nothing has been done . I think its the towers are way over loaded . When its 2 am or 3 am i can get 1 mpbs down but only in the morning when everyone is sleeping. If i drive 10 miles east of my home i can hit 1 mbps all day long and hit 4g which i get 8 mbps or 9 mbps. But soon as i go in a building 4g is gone :( Sprints data speeds suck never had go luck with 3g.

[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
I contemplated waiting, but I'm already on AT&T so I just paid full price for the R800a model. Verizon people should definitely jump on this while they still offer the unlimited data plan... rumors are they will kill unlimited and switch to tiered data at the end of summer. Get grandfathered now!
[Xperia Play General] BrownEye02:
Woooooooooooooooo! Checking Google news three times a day for the past two months has finally paid off. Now to force verizon to give me my upgrade back.
[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
my guess on this is that they decided to wait until Sony fix their issues with PSN. I know that PSN is not linked to PS Suite, but with all the problems that Sony had in the last month, launching a Sony Device on the middle of that hell would make sales go to the floor.

I really hope we see very good sales to encourage game developers and hackers to do their job on the play, otherwise we are doomed to failure and switch phones in less than 6 months...
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Lucky you who can do that :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
yeap, thats why i always buy phones off contract, if i get bored, i sell it and buy a new one, since i'm from Argentina, and buy the phones on the US, normally the selling price of my used one is similar to the new one i will acquire or at least its close...

I just sold my nexus one for $500 (which was 8 months old), and then bought the play for $ 600
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
I bought my phone sim only. The uniqueness of this phone is why I want it to have a custom rom etc. I think this phone is mint, and can only be made better.
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
You guys know what this means for the rest of us?

More cases! man the current case selection sucks. lol

I hope this encourages more devs to work on the play.
[Xperia Play General] Metal_Hurlant:
I was handed out a verizon xperia play last week, so a few words of warning:

- the SE bootloader unlocking process does not work (CDMA phones are not supported). More specifically, the web service doesn't hand me an unlock key. The rest ( fastboot mode and driver ) does work though, for all the good it does.

- gingerbreak does not work (keeps saying "sendmsg() failed")

Firmware details:

SEMC_R800_R800x_user_3.0.E.

2.89_1245-4101_R68C

Android System Image: 2.3.2

Radio Image: 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_10-01

If I knew what an bootloader unlock code looked like, and it was short enough, it might be feasible to brute-force the fastboot unlock commands.
[Xperia Play General] BrownEye02:
Have you tried any other root apps like z4root or one click?
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
So I'm excited about this however I still have till Sept 3rd before my "contract" period is up, I will have to pay $450 unless I wait till then then it will be $199 - $30 for my new phone credit. I'm going to try and get Verizon to hook it up early, anyone ever tried that? I doubt they will help me but its worth a shot.

More importantly, Any anticipation for an upgraded version of this phone? I'm Willing to wait if something good is coming in the late fall, plus I'm reluctant to spend full price if there will be like a Play2 with a dual core processor in the fall. Whats everyones feeling?
[Xperia Play General] Meister_Li:
If I where you, I'd actually directly contact the SE service and tell them that the code generation isn't working and request a code manually (give them your IMEI). If fastboot is answering, your phone is obviously intended to be unlockable, so they may just use a different calculation for the CDMA-Devices.
[Xperia Play General] BrownEye02:
I am in the same boat you are. The only way you will be able to upgrade early is if you get the managers upgrade. The only way to get that is to make a sob story up and have a good track record with Verizon. In the end you have to convince the manager you deserve to upgrade early. I was not able to accomplish this so I have my eyes all over ebay for a cheep play. Or I will end up geting one in September.
[Xperia Play General] zaith1234:
I hope it can

I hope this is true. What he said in his last post is what stopped me from pre-ordering this device. Someone please confirm one way or the other.

Can the Verizon Play's bootloader be unlocked?
[Xperia Play General] BigCTM:
My upgrade is not until November and I REALLY want to try this phone out. I ended up picking up a Verizon Xperia play developer unit with all accessories off Ebay brand new for 300.00. The guy had a 100% feedback rating with over 100 reviews and gave me the ESN to verify it was clear.

Never bought a developer unit before...Should have it soon...
[Xperia Play General] BrownEye02:
NICE!!!!! Well right now its hard to get a cheep one since since the release date isnt till the 26. But once their out I bet ebay and craigslist will be crawling with them.

I was bidding on one but it just hit 300 and it still has 21 hours to go.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Yeah i tried that today and no dice... guess im waiting unless a sick deal comes along. I just refuse to pay more when im gonna pay so much less in 4 months.
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
Is it a world phone? I remember seeing a sim card slot of the Verizon version.
[Xperia Play General] BrownEye02:
Yeah give it time. I would say their should be some pretty good deals two weeks after the 26. But you wont find anything equal to the 2 year upgrade price. I'm trying to get one at 300 and I may not even accomplish this.

After searching driver issues for android, found that installing pdanet on your computer apparently will find good drivers for you.

Trying it out now and will post an update.

thanks for the suggestions.

ok, after spending all day on this crap, I was able to get some generic google drivers to work, based on this post:

I followed the instructions and came up with an edited drivers folder (zipped) that can be used so you can connect to your computer in fastboot:

[Samsung Mesmerize] veteranmina:
I have been looking at the system I/O speeds on my phone and running Antutu benchmark and it shows my system I/O at really low marks at 50-65. Ive seen scores as high as 150+ and i was wanting to know how to do that please to speed my system up.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
If you use the OTB kernel there is an option within Voltage Control to switch schedulers, you may see some speed increase there but probably not enough to make a big difference.

Most of the I/O scores you see (quadrant) are bloated scores and are not accurate benchmarks
[Samsung Mesmerize] veteranmina:
Ive messed with the schedulers and didnt see any difference. And i dont use quadrant anymore bc i found a better benchmark app called antutu.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Honestly I use lindpack for benchmarks. It measures MFLOPs and from the info I can find that is the measure of the processor power. It is the same method used to test the worlds supercomputers. Before OTB I would get about 13 MFLOPs. After OTB I get about 16MFLOPs. Hope this helps ya.

[Wildfire General] sreekuax:
Hello,

Say I received an image file via Bluetooth to my Wildfire.

Secondly am receiving an mp3 file via Bluetooth to my Wildfire.

When i open the song in music player.. why the player tags the image which was revived by Bluetooth to the mp3 file ? Any idea on this.. can anyone tell me how to remove this ?
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Ok. Talking about the wildfire default "Music Player" application here.

When "Music Player" scans any mp3 files (without embedded pic) for the 1st time, it checks for the presence of any picture in the folder where mp3 file is present. This happens with every folder where the mp3 files are present. Once pictures are found, it tags the picture file to the music file and shows it as an album art pic in the music player. The solution to this is make sure that the folder of mp3 files donot contain any picture files. Then for making fresh changes, go to settings/applications/manage applications/all/ then open "media storage" and clear data (then unmount and remount the mem card or just restart phone). Thats all.

And if two files (with diff. embedded pics kept in same folder) have the same album name, it shows single pic for both files.

There is an android app named "Mp3 Tag Editor" with which u can edit few things. And with PC app titled MP3 TAG, u can even change/remove the embedded pic. Below im attaching a doc file which might be helpful related to this.

[we might be thinking this as an issue, but this feature will be useful when we create different folders for mp3 files according to artist/album name. We can use our desired picture for a group of mp3 files (without embedded pic) if they are kept in a folder along with that picture.]

[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Try overclocking slightly (to 1125 or 1200), it may clean up the latency, this is about the only advantage of overclocking - since it hogs battery.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Or use a task manager to clear up resources which is probably the real issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattlesnake:
Hello all,

If any of you pros can help me out with this I'll be eternally grateful.

So, I rooted my galaxy S2 with the guide on here and after superoneclick it just switched off. I booted it up and it just loops forever, yellow triangle then my provider (LGU+ Korea).

I can reboot into download mode and re-flash with XWKDD_insecure.tar. This starts the phone and I can access main features but it says rooted and I can't make any calls or 3g access.

As soon as countdown is up and screen locks (or I press lock) then the phone is bricked again and I have to re-flash just to get to that screen. So, I re-flashed and then ran the superoneclick program. Clicking unroot this time. It seemed to work and now I can get WIFI but no calls.

However, as soon as the screen is locked it is due a flash. Also, it's impossible to charge.

I'm new to this as you can tell but the guide is simple and I followed it step-by-step. I've read elsewhere on here that I can unroot this with a custom ROM? Where can I find these on the site?

Also, will they be applicable for me in Korea?

Basically I need to undo what I've done and get the phone reactivated. Please can somebody give me some advice and the download location of these ROMS that so I can get the phone reactivated.

Thanks in advance. Really stressing out here. It's on a rather expensive 2-year contract!

As I understand the reply, I think it means ask for an exchange from where you bought it(retailer not network provider). So if you bought it on CPW or expansys then that is where you should return it.
