[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karel3s:
Hi,

Whenever I try a game that uses the S2's motion sensor like Glyder or Nova 2, left and right seem to be switched. Maybe its me, but it just feels wrong when you lift the left side of your phone and your view or character goes left as well.

Does anyone know if this is configurable, because it doesn't seem to be an option within the games.

Thank you for any feedback.

Regards,

Karel

Calibrate your sensors (Settings > Display Horzontal/Gyro Calibration) and also check in-game settings?

Get glyder from the market instead of Samsung Apps. The one from Samsung doesn't work properly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Horn:
Glyder also does this on my phone. Tried calibrating, assumed it's a game glitch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karel3s:
Hi,

Thank you all for the tips.

I've actually tried horizontal calibration, but nothing changes.

I'll try downloading the Glyder app from the market instead and see if that makes a difference.

For Nova you can actually set the gyro settings to 270 degrees instead of 90, but then up and down handles a bit awkward.

I'm guessing there is no solution for this yet so I'll wait for someone to release an app for this someday.

Just one of the disadvantages of a brand new phone model :)

Wow! I thought that was how Glyder was supposed to be :o... I actually got pretty good at the controls :D

[General Questions and Answers] cappyandroid:
AT&T found me out. I had given them the IMEI of a non-smartphone to take advantage of their data plans and now they're forcing me to go back to a non-smartphone completely. What I want to know is-- if I buy an unlocked phone that is not in their smartphone lineup, can they force me to buy a data package? I was thinking about buying something like a BlackBerry or Sidekick as long as it's from another carrier, unlocked.

Does AT&T have any rules about this? How can I come up with a decent phone after this?

Thanks

Its been almost a week since i changed the avatar i have tried lots of different things but can't seem to get it too change?.

hmm, did u try disabling xbox live under SETTINGS>games, going into your games hub and wait for the little colored squares to stop moving across the top of your screen, then try re-enabling xbox live?

Do you have cifs.ko in /system/lib/modules ?

If so, open CifsManager, go to settings and tick the box Load cifs module. Make sure the path to cifs.ko is correct. Close and reopen CifsManager.

You should then be able to mount shares.

Simple and Clean Technical Bootanimation

I was getting sick and tired of the default "S", so I created a new bootanimation with a clean and simple concept while still stylish and technical. I call it "TechBoot" and I wanted to share it with the community.

Information about the animation:

I used several different programs to create the animation. For graphics and mock-ups the program used was Adobe Photoshop. For motion and effects I used Adobe After Effects. These programs made it easy to compose a High Quality animation. The bootanimations are in a zip archive format and are compatible with any kernel that supports "bootanimation.zip".

*Feedback is much appreciated and suggestions to future releases will be met by gratitude.

hi to everyone,

I instaled to my SGS new room JVH from samfirmware.com and it works great except one very important thing.

Very often when somebody calls me, the screen dosn't wake up and I can't see who is calling :(

The same happened when I try to use the cell phone and push the home button, the screen also dosn't wake up and the screen always remain black.

sometimes after a few attempts it started to work well untill the next time...

I have already posted this problem on another forum but nobody helped me.

thanks in advance for your help.

It seams you were right :)

Thank you very much for this advice !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirn1111:
I don't know if Samsung will fix this issue or not,

but I think no..

In my opinion, since SGS has huge internal storage, many people will use without sd card..?? Also not many people actually reported that issue even if it is present.

just my opinion..

its problem with sgs, just try not to use ex-sd..

and also it affect the device overall function,

I just read from somewhere that it decreased quadrant score by 100~200.( although it can be merely numbers, but thats strange)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
i was facing the same problem since i started to use JVH and JVO with Cf-root.. i was using froyo JS8 with speedmod kernel because of the problems coming with JVB so far but when JVH was out i decided to flash it.. first i was using it with Cf-root.. after a long reading time i decided between CF-root and fugumod.. i have chosen fugumod and never experienced not-waking up issue..

but then i switched to JVO and realised its not good with fugumod, i came back to Cf-root and had those "eternal sleeps" 2 or 3 times.. but yesterday i made a whole clean flash of JVO and Cf-root.. so far, no problem..

i red people complaining about the same issue with Cf-root under the fugumod topic.. but i dont know if Cf-root is to blame.. it might be JVO and JVH to blame because fugumod is JVB based, so its normal that i didnt have any not-waking up problems..

PS: i dont think its because the memory is not enough.. because i never use any task killer (not even the task manager itself) but only watchdog for android OS and my RAM usage is normally like 225/329 Mb..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanchanwl:
If this is confirm the CF root problem, then i will change to use Fugumod after this.

Anyone here facing this SOD problem but not in CF root?

If there is, mean this is not CF root problem anymore...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
i have red the Cf-root pages again.. it says its completely the original kernel with CWM3, tweaks and SU added by deleting the boot sounds. so absolutely no code has changed in the kernels special parts..

it gives me 2 possibilities :

1) one or some of the tweaks are causing this problem just like the blusetooth problem (swap tweak is disabling bluetooth)

2) the problem is in the unchanged part of the kernel

[GT540 Optimus General] :
You will usually encounter this when downgrading from 2.2 or 2.3 back to 2.1 via KDZ Updater. It is caused by the DATA partition, as it contains data from 2.2 or 2.3 which is incompatible with 2.1. A way to stop this from happening is to factory reset before and after flashing your ROM. If you are currently in this situation, here is how to fix it, it is very simple to do, and won't take more than a minute.

Make sure you have Fastboot installed and set-up on your computer.

Open a command prompt and use the cd command and type where fastboot is. For example, if your SDK is in C:\sdk (Windows) or /home/username/sdk (Unix) type:

cd C:\sdk\tools (Windows)
or
cd /home/username/sdk/tools/ (Unix)

Connect your phone to the computer in fastboot (Camera + Power)

and type the following:

fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
(Windows)
or
./fastboot -w
./fastboot reboot
(Unix)

Your phone should now boot past the Android screen with no problems.

Any questions? Just ask below.

Hope it helps,

Jack

Hi Jack,

I updated 2.1 successfully from LG update site. The software update was successful.

But I was not able to login and got struck in this Android Logo Boot-Loop.

fastboot -w

It says < waiting for device >

and never comes out of this.

Please help me.

[GT540 Optimus General] bataya:
You probable flash rom without fastboot, so fastboot command dont work.

Sent using Tt.
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
You first have to go into fastboot mode before using fastboot. The official LG ROMs don't have fastboot. Try holding the power and camera button at the same time while turning on your phone. You should see a black screen or a blue screen with commands written on it. If not, you should download an Android 2.1 Fastboot ROM and flash using KDZ. Use this for the process.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeliveryNinja:
Supposedly washing an electronic device in distilled water and then drying will help fix some issues if you have wet your phone. It is usually the impurities that cause the issues when it dried out.

I have not done this with my desire but I have done it with a computer keyboard that was no longer working and that went well.

PLEASE DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! :eek:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] johnpwu:
Starting yesterday, the NYTimes app for tablet crashed on me every time I opened it. Tried uninstalling with Titanium Backup, soft reset, restore (app only), but to no avail: it crashes every time after opening, whenever I try to scroll.

What's odder still is that when I locate the app in the web market (which I couldn't do directly yesterday, for some reason) and attempt to install it, all of my devices, including the Xoom, are greyed out.

If I search for the app from the market on my Xoom, it doesn't even show up (although the phone app does. At one point, briefly, I was getting a message about my download being cancelled due to incompatibility. Now, however, once I can get to the app's page in the market, when I try to install, I get "The requested item could not be found.")

Finally, if I manage to get to a web from which I can click a link that will take me directly to the NYTimes tablet app page in the market, after I click "install" I get: "purchase cancelled - your device is not compatible with this item."

The only thing I can think of that I've changed on my end is having upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 recently, but I did not notice whether the NYT app quit working immediately after the upgrade or later.

I would really appreciate any help with this one. Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] scoopman:
when I upgraded to 3.1, almost any app I restored from Titanium Backup would FC immediately when run. Didn't matter whether I restored the app only or app+data.

Clearly there's an incompatibility between Titanium Backup and the way apps are installed or stored in 3.1.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] johnpwu:
I've had some weird Ti Backup issues as well, but this also seems to involve the market.

Can anyone else comment as to whether they're able to see the nytimes tablet app in the market, or install it on a xoom running 3.1? Thanks
