Just installed launcher pro on my mom's cappy, now the phone reboots whenever media scanning is initialized. Any help? I'm not near a computer right now
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
that's odd man.. I use launcher pro and I've never had that happen. Have you tried uninstalling it and installing it again?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3nny:
I can't get to it, the phone shuts down too quick. I think it might be something with the android system itself, but I haven't done anything to it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
does she have a micro sd, or an externel sd card.. try taking that out and powering it up.. see if it will get past the media scan?

..also, can you get to recovery? might be able to wipe data from there and reboot??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3nny:
No micro sd card, she's still under warranty so we'll take it back tomorrow, but it'll already be our second return (first bricked while updating software). I have an epic 4g and nothing like this has ever happened before

Flashed to BAMF 1.6.3 Remix. Software as follows:

Baseband version: 1.16.00.0223r

Build number: 1.13.605.7_Das_BAMF_Remix_1.6.3

Software number: 1.13.605.7

Is this the correct radio combination for 3G/LTE? I noticed a new radio flash in the dev forum but it seems to be related to the non-themed edition.

Thanks all....

I searched high and low and can't find a definitive answer... Am I supposed to wipe cache, dalvik cache or anything else prior to restoring a nandroid backup?

Thanks for helping a noob out.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
boot into recovery

select back up restore option

select restore backup

select the backup you wish to restore and let it do its thing

then reboot

DONE

no need to wipe anything at all...

but just for warm and fuzzies i would make sure that you have the engineerring bootlader, AKA 85.2007 and not the 86.0000 just in cause something unforseen happens, as there has been an influx of problems with mount errors and FAIL PU errors, just my 2 cents
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I wipe everything prior to to using the backup. the nandroid contains all system files(apps,etc) so I wipe to get rid of rom in use.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
this is not needed as the nandroid is like a picture of your system as a whole when making a backup... so restoring a backup wipes your entire system back to the state it was when the nandroid back up was made... but if that makes you feel warm and fuzzy then my all means do it your way, i used to do the same thing you stated until i did my research and found that is is not needed, and have never had a problem since not wiping prior to doing a nandroid restore!:D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
+1 - I've never wiped before a restore, but have done countless restores. Don't worry about it.

While everyone's stated that Google Voice for Honeycomb is in the works, I thought I'd try the *.apk hacked together here and it actually worked fine on the TF as well.

On a side note, obviously that'll only work for text messages as calls can't be made or received over data with Google Voice. Anybody ever use GrooVe IP? I'm curious if anybody has used it to do Google Voice over data (on their tablet or even on a phone, just curious how well it works / how the experience is). It sounds very interesting. The tablet could almost be used as a house/speaker phone, over our Google Voice line.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] IIJBII:
I did a test call to myself from my TF with just Groove IP and it made the call. Couldn't test the quality because it was just me.

I also tested this on my wifi Galaxy Tab and it worked.

Edit: tried a real call on Galaxy tab w a BT headset and it didn't pick up the voice. It looks like others are having luck with it on the TF which is great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] heyeaglefn:
I am going to try this on my Transformer.

Quick Question:

I am going to the Bahamas next week and am taking my Transformer. If I get this to work and have a Wifi connection down there, do you think I will be able to make calls with my GV or would I be charged a roaming fee?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jester450:
This is awesome. I can send text messages from my TF now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] javroch:
This should work fine, as the developer himself stated in a thread I was reading about it. I'll try and get a link. As long as you have internet, and a Google Voice account, GrooVe IP should work. Granted, I still haven't bought it, but I'm thinking about it.

Question: If you purchase an app and have two Android devices, it should work for both for the price of one right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] gmcbay:
GrooveIP works fine on the Transformer. I just made a couple of calls over my Google Voice using it on the TF.

The only issue I've had with it is that the dialing screen is orientation locked to portrait which makes it look ridiculous (and makes it a bit hard to interact with) when you're in docked mode or otherwise using landscape orientation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ViViDboarder:
Works on any device you link your Google account to.

For texting on google voice, is there anyway for the texts to appear as they come in?

The only settings I can find, is for the application to refresh every XX minutes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] IIJBII:
Yes. The market is linked to your google account its not device specific.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mallman:
i must be missing a setting because all mine says is try again. gv has to be installed right? or does that even matter?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] imager01:
Voice

No you don't have to have voice installed. I had a hard time setting up my GrooVe IP and found that you must completely exit from the app and restart for the settings to take effect. My voice username is my email address and when typing it in for some reason the keyboard kept wanting to put an extra space in the address. After I corrected that and exited out I was fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mallman:
thanks for the advice but still a no go for me. I even tried it on my EVO and i always get "couldn't connect you call, please try again" :(

Maybe its my wifi. will try tomorrow on a different wifi

Don't know if its my TF only or an issue across the board, but images. from Picasa gallery or SD card seem to appear blurry and less sharp. Any one else observed the same issue?

I was able to reproduce the issue in 2 transformers. Same pics look lot sharper on my laptop.

Edit 1: Issue occurs both in the browser and the HC Gallery app
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonicTab:
try using quickpic instead...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punchatron:
I've noticed this too. I don't think the apps are loading the correct resolution for the screen size. Almost if they are defaulting to a phone sized resolution.

Same here with 1.1.3 (it was just released a few days ago), but 1.1.2 you can add it (it works). Unless I'm missing something in 1.1.3 :)

I am using 1.1.3 and I can add and see my external SD card no problem. Photos look nice and sharp as compared with the stock Gallery app.

Cool thanks. Yeah!!! Quickpic is very nice. If I do a fresh install of 1.1.3. I don't see my /Removable, but I just did an upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 and it sees my /Removable because it was set from 1.1.2. Now if I delete the /Removable and go back too add it, it's not there. Wierd :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonicTab:
One issue or 'feature' I notice with quickpic and gallery is if you use the app to rotate a pic, the rotation does not save, unless I am missing a save icon?

If not any decent picture editor apps for honeycomb?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyydrr:
Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the screen turning on when receiving an SMS? I would really like to disable this if at all possible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
not sure if it's what you're looking for but if you install sms popup (which is a fantastically simple app) it's one of the many options that you can configure ...

hope this helps ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyydrr:
This didn't prevent the screen from turning on. The basic SMS app seems to still turn it on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the way this normally works, is you install handcent which does have this option. then you go in and disable to stock messaging app completely, so that only handcent or your replacement choice controls text behavior.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyydrr:
What you'll notice is that even if you disable the notifications on a the standard messaging app, the app still runs in the background as it's also handling all the incoming DB writes from what I can tell. Samsung re-wrote the messaging app which always runs (and can't be removed) and in this app is the control to turn the screen on. That's why I can't figure out how to disable it without breaking SMS functionality altogether.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Or you could just go tweak the code to stop it waking it up?

Never mind.....

Just when i gave up hope and posted this thread, i found the solution....
[Galaxy S II General] vampyren:
Hi guys,

I have been waiting for a long time for a mature Android phone (have had iPhone for the past 3 years) and i think Galaxy SII is just that. Its fast, speedy, have good camera, thin, pretty good standby etc...

Feature1 (or rather application suite):

What i been missing from Android phones so far has been a OSX sync, backup, music/video/podcast sync application and for Galaxy this is still missing sadly. So you guys who have OSX what do you use for the sync and backup? (it can be both freeware and thirdparty apps that cost, as long as its working without bugs)

Feature2:

This is something all old phones use to have but for some stupid reason have been removed on both iPhone and Android phones. I'm talking about recording calls natively (not interested using services or mic recording). You guys who know the hardware do you know if this is possible or is it like iphone not possible to do with this hardware?

Other then that i really love the screen of this phone so i like to upgrade to this from my current iPhone. Actually i have two sims so i will use both phones :)

Thanks for all answers
[Galaxy S II General] Yufina:
If I'm not wrong Samsung kies can Sync and Backup :D

And yes Call Recording is possible. Here is more about that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065110
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Syncing music, videos is no big deal. Kies does it, so do countless apps out there including winamp. You can basically sync any damn Android or smartphone or dumb phone with memory slot using Winamp.

Kies also has functionality to backup your phone (apps can be synced to your google account anyway ).
[Galaxy S II General] iKaosTony:
You could try Kies Air, it is in your browser so it doesn't need any software.

(I could be wrong, because I don't have the SII.)
[Galaxy S II General] vampyren:
Thanks for all feedbacks.

I been searching and reading a little thanks to your tips and i the result wasnt all to positive.

At Samsung i found the Kies only for Windows (intressted for OSX).

samsung.com/se/consumer/mobile/mobilephones/mobilephones/GT-I9100LKANEE/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

Same goes for winamp ofcourse which is a Win app.

Kies Air seems to be just for the older models also or has any of you actually been downloading it for Galaxy SII? that would be really nice....

I dont have Android phone to see what i can download but it seems all these call recorder apps work on some models and not others.

Call recorder:

androlib.com/android.application.com-opensystem-callrecord-jjDw.aspx

also

and

Also read about TotalRecall which seems to be old and not updated.

Has any of you actually tested any of these and can verify that it works (on GSII)? which one?

Thanks for the help guys but please give me some info that you know for sure works on GSII. Links are also very welcome.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:

Its on SGS2 either as stock or via the Samsung update on the phone .

Not that i have ever used it as i copy and paste .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] vampyren:
Thanks for confirming. I dont understand what you mean by copy/paste though! Music/video sure you can do that but for contact/calendar and backup i dont see how u can copy/paste.

Any way i'm saving some money for this baby so i hope it can work well under OSX. Seems all Android phones are made for windows. On the other hand SGII has other benefits like playing xvid/divx so no need to re-encode movies....
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Doubletwist?
[Galaxy S II General] kongzilla:
DoubleTwist works great with OSX, I use it .
[Galaxy S II General] buddn07:
I can confirm that my GSII came with kies air pre-installed.

I use kies in windows but kies air in linux.

Drag and drop is really easy on this phone as well due to the large internal memory.
[Galaxy S II General] mickliq:
I use iSyncr, works great for iTunes music, videos and podcast synching to my MBP. There is an option to sync by Wifi at extra cost.
[Galaxy S II General] Rooster19:
You used an iPhone right?

So in baby words, instead of now using iTunes for iPhone/iPod, you use Kies for Samsung.

You can sync all your music/photos/vids/apps and what not

Easy? It's also the official software for it too so yeah
[Galaxy S II General] vampyren:
Ahh DoubleTwist AirSync looks the most promising so far. Pretty much same as itunes. Easy to use and just drag&drop, me like :)

I wish it had Address Bok, Calenday, Bookmarks syncing as well like iTunes but you cant have it all :)

By the way one thing i'm a but scared of and cant seem to find a consistent answer to is the application and their saved data. On my iPhone when i sync all application and their settings+saved data (game saves and such) are backed up. So when i do upgrades or jailbreak i can always copy back all i had.

How does this work on Android phone (SGII)?

Lets say i have a few games and have many saved data and want to try a new Android build? how exactly do you backup your data and then put it back? Has anyone done something like this?

Sorry for my noobish questions but after 3 years of having had iPhone it feels strange to not know how anything works. Your support makes the jump much easier :D
[Galaxy S II General] artesea:
if you are installing new roms get Titanium Backup Pro. lets you store all game and app data on your memory card.

also for calendar and contact sync I've been happy with Google doing that and storing it in the cloud.
[Galaxy S II General] vampyren:
Great tips, will download it once i get the SGII. Thanks.

By the way i just might get mine Tuesday next week, the store is getting in 2 of them and i'm in queue so here's hoping. I been to the store 5 times and played with it. Tested my Bluetooth headset and played some music and it worked perfectly fine.

@Rooster19:If you going to help new people get rid of the attitude or just dont help. I love my iPhone but i'm open for trying new OS:es. Respect other peoples preferences and choices. If you dont like something dont buy it but stop judging people based on what they buy. i work in Telecom business myself and fall in love with iPhone directly from the release of the first device. After my 3GS it did felt a bit tiresome i couldn't access the memory, play movies directly (divx,xvid), change themes, play mp3 for ringtone and some other minor things that i saw obvious.

On Android side i tested many of them like Desire, X10 but they never felt smooth enough and the menus felt messy. SGII is the first device i actually think is mature enough for me to abandon my iPhone. I haven't got mine yet so maybe i go back to iPhone but from what i seen i think not. Time will tell.

Android has some flaws too but thats just the nature of products, everything has its pro and con. Anyway please understand that people have their reason for liking or disliking things. Just because you dont like something it doesn't automatically make it the right thing for everyone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignign0kt:
I cannot for the life of me understand why when sending images in the Messaging app, it opens them as a video or something, and actually has like a video progress bar. You cannot zoom or pan in the image or anything.

Please tell me there is a way to change this. Why wouldn't they have it open it up in an Image app of your choice, or have image capability built in.

Only reason I even want to use this app is because it has the 'unlock to messaging' feature from the lock screen

But this really bothers me...
