[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Hello good people of XDA. Its been a while since I made a post here. Needless to say, I've been very happy with my SGS.

So here's the issue. Last night updated my software to 2.3.3 Gingerbread-XWJVH. All is well and was happy. No lag and was hoping to use it right away. But, reloading all my music and listening to it (hoping Samsung "unlocked" the amp on this) the sound was appalling.

I listen to a lot of Metal, Post-Rock and Ambient music, from the original FLAC/320kbpsMP3 I downgrade to 64kbps AAC. Reason being that I get to fit a whole lot more tracks and it sounds almost like 160kbps MP3.

On the old 2.2.1 firmware everything was okay but this new one would not play the songs properly. Its like an iPhone, throw in an AAC HEv2 encoded file and it will play it like it was encoded in 32kbps.

Easiest route for me would be to go back to 2.2.1 and try Voodoo.

Cheers everyone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I used SGS 1 GB and found no problems with sound files all AAC+ but at a higher rate from memory .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meisterdude:
Maybe you try the voodoo control plus app.. brings voodoo sound to any ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaraMuuu:
I'm also disappointed, AAC HEv2 doesn't seem to be supported on i9000's Gingerbread, it sounds like in mono, one of the channelsis missing (dunno if it's the right or the left one) . I've tried custom kernels and Voodoo control plus app, but it didn't help. So we have two options: 1) Switching to Cyanogen or MIUI (cause it's a Samsung issue, playback is still good in those roms) or 2) Converting our music files to mp3 :( and taking with us everywhere only a quarter of them all.

Damn it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heema:
I've just relieved my SGS2 and got an update notification via mobile once I connected to Wifi. The update was for the Camera FW.

After the update I took one picture with flash using my camera but after that the LED flash stopped working !!:eek:

I used a Flash light app and can hear 2 clicks from the LED flash but no light :confused:

Is this a driver issue or did my flash got busted !!?

Anyone can help ! plz

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Blade General] mmoalem:
hi there all - i've asked this in the general software forum but maybe here is more appropriate...

my phone is the ZTE blade with SS5 rom.

i currently use the inbuilt call recording feature (pressing 'menu' once call connected, press record on the pop-up menu)

recording are currently saved on the root of the sdcard with a file name voicerecordingXXXXX.amr (Xs are digits)

I would like the file name to include time stamp caller number and if possible save it to a dedicated folder on the card rather than root but i cant find a way of changing the settings. can anyone help please?
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
We all now the Sgs2 works beautifully with a Bluetooth mouse keyboard and speakers, so have a look at what I have put together.. its actually better than my laptop, and best of all its Android!!

View attachment 596695

I'm using the 'samsin' yes that's how it spelt, bluetooth speakers, search ebay there about £25 and the RiiTech Rii mini bluetooth mouse and keyboard about £30... it really is awesome... thanks for listening...
[Galaxy S II General] coocood:
For a PC,isn't it too small?

At first glance,I thought you connects a LCD monitor and a Full-size Keyboard to the phone,like Atrix's laptop dock.
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
Well I could plug it into my 50" Sony but for a portable solution this works very well.. the keys are big enough to type at quite a speed despite their size.. but thanks for your comments
[Galaxy S II General] shandoli:
Very impressive..

Can you tell me one thing tho..

How does the mouse work? do you physically see a cursor on the screen?

is using the mouse on the s2 exactly the same as using on a pc?

and when you have a BT KB hooked up, does the android KB pop up in all text boxes?

Your setup is exactly what i had in mind but with a hdmi to vga converter for using with hotel tvs.
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
Yes.. you get a little white pointer... left mouse selects right mouse takes you back a step... its very similar to a laptop trackpad...

You still get the screen keyboard or you can disable it..
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Can't find the keyboard on ebay, could you post a link please?!
[Galaxy S II General] erazer007:
I do agree that the Galaxy S 2 is good enough to use as a PC especially for web browsing etc but I would want to use a bigger screen
[Galaxy S II General] stoolzo:
when the mhl adapter is available this will be a lot more viable being able to connect to any HDMI enabled screen, currently the screen is too small to use seriously as a laptop replacement.

[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
True... but how many laptops fit in your pocket and have speakers you can place anywhere?
[Galaxy S II General] drkaos:
Hi, this keyboard seems very nice :D

Do you connect it directly via bluetooth or are you using the usb port for it? I've seen in a video that the keyboard includes a usb adapter.
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
Well, its bluetooth but has a mini usb socket which it has been suggested would work via a usb OTG cable that converts micro usb to mini usb

I have succesfully connected it to a ps3 via usb and bluetooth
[Galaxy S II General] drkaos:
Thanks for the explanation.

How far can you go from the phone while using this keyboard? I want to use something like this with the mhl cable ;)

[Galaxy S II General] erazer007:
Does the keyboard have a touchpad on the right hand side?
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
Yes, absolutely, and two mouse buttons!
[Galaxy S II General] stoolzo:
to be honest, once you have factored in the price of the phone you'd be better with a android tablet with more screen real estate, imagine a tablet running this cpu chip combo - now thats a tablet I would like to own.... fnck that tegra rubbish :)
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
I guess i need to try out the dinovo edge keyboard when i get home today
[Galaxy S II General] erazer007:
Hmm. I like the keyboard a lot ! How thick is it?
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
Like I say.. it fits in one jeans pocket.. allows me to type quick and sounds awesome.. sure a tablet would be better but who's got that sort of cash?
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
No thicker than your sgs2 with a case on

[Galaxy S II General] Schmich:
Does 2.4Ghz mean bluetooth or is it some other spec? I am confused now.
[Galaxy S II General] Tom-Helge:
But the most important question is......, can it play Crysis :p:D ?
[Galaxy S II General] arabbitte:
+1. I think this means it is not Bluetooth, but talks to the phone over a USB dongle. Which would probably need a OTG USB cable to connect to.

Having said that, it might be the OP provided the wrong link - many keyboards are available with connectivity through either USB 2.4Ghz USB dongle or bluetooth connectivity

Question for the OP - does your shift key work as expected. On my keyboard, it acts as a CAPS lock. Pretty much makes the keyboard unusable, despite the fact it was cheap, is very responsive and pairs/reconnects very well
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
LOL, nice 4.3 inch screen's mini pc.

Adding HDMI TV will make a perfect pc screen.
[Galaxy S II General] Krooked22:
Its convenient and cool for the house. While going out id rather just take the phone, for obvious reasons
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
if I want an android PC I just connect my keyboard and mouse to my eee pad transformer, then I use HDMI out to set it on my 23"monitor, voila, android desktop.
[Galaxy S II General] [PhOeNiX]:
i'm currently using my "old" bluetooth keyboard from palm, Palm Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard 3245WW and it works well, some keys are available only in a palm device, but the rest are standard keys.

I bought it on amazon a few years ago and still works very well

here is a short review

[Galaxy S II General] Jigsy75:
I think he was joking there :D. Must admit though that setup has me thinking I want one now - keyboard and HDMI adapter would be great !
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
nice !

but that's the point of having an android, to replace the laptops

since i got my android a couple years back, i've never touch a laptop since then.

i find the on screen keyboard quite easy to use, no need for a separate speaker

as for speakers, i use a BT stereo headset, it provides me all the audio i need for entertainment & work

[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] erp2010x:
can I change the lockscreen slider?

i want to remove vibration and maybe a more smooth slider...

it is possible?
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] MegaBubbletea:
Use WidgetLocker.
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] Blo234:
I tried to use Lock Menu https://market.android.com/details?id=com.husmithinc.android.lockmenu&feature=search_result, but for some unknown reason the camera button stopped working (tested with SPB shell and LauncherPro).

Anyone encountered this problem too?
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] ravandel:
it is possible to change your lockscreen sliders as long as you want to play with your framework-res :) I switched those ugly motorola sliders for those from gingerbread (think so) by replacing them in framework, if you want I can upload png files, default sliders are located in drawable-hdpi on the bottom, filenames starts with zz.
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] MasterTB:
There is go locker now too, looks good.
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] Mr. Jay Milestone:
If you are thinking about flashing Cyanogenmod;

there is options implemented to change the Lockscreen. No more laggy Motoblur Sliders.

( I'd totally recommend that )

Otherwise, Widget Locker really rocks the Milestone 2 =) I bought it and i never regretted it from the first Minute :)
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] Konamy:
I really recomend using WidgetLocker, but only in Gingerbread. In froyo, it sucks a lot by not replacing the original screenlocker sometimes.
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] xruuhx:
I used WidgetLocker for a while, but replaces the origianl lockscreen, just stood on top. not recommend.
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] ajb12376:
Use 'No Lock' from the market and disable the stock lockscreen to get rid of this problem:good:
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] xruuhx:
thx, i will try this! (:
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] [BRA] Giovani:
I used GO Laucher + Go Locker, that was before I use the CM9.
[Milestone 2 Themes and Apps] [BRA] Giovani:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
Right, i wanted to transfer some files from my phone to my tf, like skype, which i cannot get in china. I saved the files on an sd card using appsaver. Then i put the sd card in my tf and browsed to it. To my surprise it doesnt show the appsaver directory, only the default directories in "/mnt/sdcard" and in "/sdcard" in the root.

Does anyone know why that is?

Im running prime v1.2
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husky_doggy:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Are you browsing with a different file explorer than the one supplied with the TF? The best way I've found is to tap the SD symbol by the clock, then tap the folder icon that pops up. I'm using the standard rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
Ah! That's interesting! I did try both the default browser and ASTRO. Neither showed me the content of the SD card. Interesting... But indeed, I did spot the SD card symbol on the tool bar and that one DOES show the content of the SD card. Interesting how A3.0 does this differently...

Thanks guys!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whisky_:
Hello,

I just recently got my Nexus S. So far I'm loving the phone but I have a couple of questions if they could be answered please, thank you.

1. I want to root my phone but would at no cost want to lose the way my phone acts and feels now. I really like stock Gingerbread and do not want to lose that. All I want root for is Titanium so that I can back my applications up. How do I do so? I just need root access; nothing else.

2. The battery on my phone dies petty quick. Granted, I use it a lot but it still drains pretty quick. I left it at night with about 40+ percent charge only to wake up 6 hours later with the phone being at about 20 something percent. Are there any recommendations for that?

3. I've got Advanced Task Killer on my phone and most of the times I hardly have about a 100 MB of free RAM despite killing all active tasks. Even on my old Motorola Dext I had about the same amount. Why?

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Regards.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
1. Rooting won't do anything to your stock rom except root it. There are guides in the development section on how to root.

2. Not sure why battery life is that bad on yours.

3. Task killers aren't recommended anymore since android handles tasks well. It has been said that using task killers can actually slow down your phone and worsen battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
1. Gingerbreak.

2. How long have you had your phone? Mine took a solid two weeks before my battery life got really good.

3. What do you want that much free RAM for? The more your phone loads applications in to RAM, the faster it will be. If you want good performance, then having lots of "free RAM" should not be your goal.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whisky_:
Thanks for the responses. GingerBreak didn't work for me so I just went with the adb way. I've had my phone for about 5 days now so if the battery sets in with time, I guess I'm good then. And about the RAM, I would imagine more RAM would mean more speed? As the system wouldn't be bogged down.

Thank you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
dont use task killers. it kills more battery if you turn on the autokill. as for your ram concerns, since 2.3(gingerbread update) the android os itself does a pretty good job on memory handling so you have the ram when you need em. ;)

Dear Folks,

I have noticed that every music player make my music stream laggy. Due mp3 and flac types.

I use the latest MiniCM 1.0 on 715 Mhz with all fixes.

I have 8 Gb SanDisk Class 2 card.

I tried PlayerPro 2.03 and the latest Asto Player Pro.

How can I solve this annoying lag?

It is like an old discman with a creapy anti shock system now!

Help!

Thx!

Update: I installed doixanh's rom [ROM] X8CM6 Latest | 6.2.0.RC.0b. That is ok, and there are no lags and choking. I have left MiniCM behind me, because doixanh's rom is much more better :)

[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Had a same problem... check your DSP manager. It should be all OFF.

Try to reinstall ROM, may help...
[XPERIA X8 General] qsmyle:
DSP is off as before.

ROM reinstall sucks... I have no feel like to reinstall all of my apps and set on the desktop (home) again... :P may I will do it but I don't think it will solve this issue.
[XPERIA X8 General] vjun:
Reinstalling ROM doesn't solve.

Looks like PowerAMP isn't skipping, but I actually don't like PowerAMP and I don't want to pay for it. Is something so basic, we have a massive lot of players to choose, and all of them has lagging and skipping songs.
[XPERIA X8 General] prz3m3kk:
did you try to use other sd card? these class 2 are bit crappy

I don't know if I understood you well, but you may try
[XPERIA X8 General] wantutri:
i have class 2 sd card, and have not yet faced the problem. maybe, it lags cause of too many song to load?? not sure of it
[XPERIA X8 General] vjun:
Maybe it's related to any app installed?

The apps I have:

- Goggles

- Docs

- Linkedin

- Last.fm

- Google Maps

- Call Meter NG

- Facebook

- Twitter

- Chrome to Phone

- Google Reader

- Taskos

- WhatsApp

- Nimbuzz

- Skype

- picPlz

- LauncherPro

Twitter and Facebook are the only ones which are always open in background, due to the sync.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
It's a bug! TRy reinstall ROM to fix. Worked for me.

I tried to reinstall music apps, wipe cache etc, but I think reflashing is the only solution.
[XPERIA X8 General] wujekandrzej:
i've experienced the same bug in every miniCM release i used, my advice - just install floyo 0.20, since it's the best 2.2 rom right now. not a single lag there, neither in music, nor in games etc.

Yeah, nice I got the same attention... :rolleyes:

I used it and found the battery life was great- a reliable 2 days, and also that it makes the phone really comfortable to hold (subjective of course). However I'm not using it now because I didn't like not having a rubber case on my phone and it's no difficulty for me to charge ever night.

[HD2 General] saurabh88:
i haveone but its a fake but still hold good for one day of heavy usage.
[HD2 General] VHAHONGRANTC:
When my wife and I got the HD2 a year ago, I immediately got extended batteries for the both of us. Normally, we always get a spare battery that we use while traveling with our PPCs, so we can drain the battery on the plane and then still have a full or half a battery when we land. The reason I opted for the extended battery was approximately double the battery life (in milliamps anyway), and for the cover with the kickstand.

For us, it is the perfect solution to comfortably watch movies with the kickstand and the remaining battery life is still above 50% after a 5+ hour plane ride. This includes watching videos, playing games, etc. Of course on the plane, there is no antennae use. Still it works great for this sort of use.

We do NOT use the extended battery for everyday use, as the extra bulk does not fit in our cases. :)
