[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
I've got a Jabra Clipper which works quite well. Just leave it plugged in to the plug and the stereo all the time.

If your stereo has an iPod dock you can try the uPlay bluetooth dock adapter - sadly didn't work with mine, suspect it's because my stereo tries to be clever and offer controls as well as just music playing.

There's also a Belkin dongle but I've never used it.

Any other solutions you find primarily aimed at home use rather than a repurposed portable one, I'd be very interested :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] BarryH_GEG:
I use this, the HP Bluetooth Pendant. It's a transmitter and a receiver. You're looking for the receiver (bottom part of the picture). The transmitter's pretty cool if you want to use a pair of decent wired headsets over Bluetooth. It's discontinued but you can still find them online. The model number is KD031AA#ABA.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hollow.Droid:
Thanks for the suggestions, right after my last post I ended up purchasing this, the same one as DJGibbon suggested. I should have it tomorrow and will post a little about how well it works then :)

USB-JIG for Samsung OMNIA 7 - Correct instructions! Quick and very SIMPLE guide !

Use this guide At Your Own Risk!

Ok.

We are all aware of the latest update problems and corrupted bootloaders (or whatever ). Samsung software fix is not working for lots of OMNIA7 users. More info here.

I made this USB-JIG very easy and I fixed everything with it.

- This tool/fix will put the Samsung Omnia 7 into Download mode

- This tool/fix is fast , safe and easy to make.

You will need:

- Some scissors

- Regular general transparent adhesive tape

- Thin cooper wire (not needed but recommended)

- 3 resistors x100k Cost:0.2eur ( 3x100k = 300k total )

- Time: 15 minutes

5 Steps:

1. - Remove the cooper wire insulation.

[/URL]

2. - Put the wire insulation on the first resistor "leg" and connect all of them in serial order as shown.

(-----> (Brown-Black-Yellow-Gold) --> (Brown-Black-Yellow-Gold) ---> (Brown-Black-Yellow-Gold) --->

Check the order of the color rings twice!

3. - Trim the connections and bend the third resistor "leg" next to the isolated "leg of the first resistor as shown on the picture.

4. - Isolate everything with your general transparent adhesive tape except the last 5 mm of both "legs" of the "Almost finished, Samsung USB-JIG"

[/URL]

5. Bend the endings - very little. Easier to manipulate the usb-jig and connect the pins later.

Your USB-JIG is ready!

Next post explains how to connect with Samsung Omnia 7
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
Putting Samsung Omnia 7 into download mode with USB-JIG.

- Make sure that your battery is min 80% full.

- Turn off your Omnia 7 and remove the battery for 1 minute + press the power button few times to drain any electricity left.

- Return the battery -DO NOT turn ON the device.

- Take your Omnia 7 and connect usb-jig pins with the 1st and 2nd USB connectors manually as shown on the picture.

NOTE: Everywhere you will find that, 1st and 2nd pin are closer to the earphone plug. THATS NOT THE CASE WITH SAMSUNG OMNIA 7 ! It took me some time to figure out that explanations were wrong. Its not the same as for other Samsung phones.

NOTE: Everywhere you will find that, 1st and 2nd pin are closer to the earphone plug. THATS NOT THE CASE WITH SAMSUNG OMNIA 7 ! It took me some time to figure out that explanations were wrong. Its not the same as for other Samsung phones.

- After 2 attempts my phone went into download mode:

(If nothing happens, remove the battery, insert the battery, power on , power off, and try again.)

____________________________________________________________

From now on you know that your USB-JIG is working and you can proceed with your nasty intentions :)

Or you can continue with your regular update that you could not provoke even with woo-do magic .

- From Samsung page (click on Software) download the Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3 tool.

- Run the tool

- When Omnia7 is in Download Mode, connect it with your PC.

- Press Start and follow the msgs.

- Exit

Reboot your PC and your Device.

- Finlay, reconnect your device to your PC and UPDATE your Omnia7 via Zune without problems!

After the update you can :

1. Get your Omnia7 into Download mode:

Phone off and:

- Press and hold the Camera button;

- Press and hold the Volume DOWN (-) button;

- Press and hold the Power button;

- Release the power button when you see white Samsung Omnia7 Logo on your screen.

You have entered Omnia7 download mode.

Note:

(On lots of places you will find out that "VOLUME UP" is correct button but this is not the case with my SO7.)

2. Get your Omnia7 into "USB ---to----> PC" mode.

Phone off and:

- Press and hold the Camera button;

- Press and hold the Power button;

- Release the power button when you see white Samsung Omnia7 Logo on your screen.

You have entered with your Omnia7 into "USB ---to----> PC" mode.

[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Great guide mate. I may just have to try this! I guess there was no negative effects if the wrong pins were touched with the jig?

It may also be worth adding that you can check the resistance of your jig using a multimeter to be sure.
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
Thanks.

The only side effect is powering on the mobile if wrong pins are touched.

My multimeter showed 292k so the tolerance is fine.

Didn't wanted to add multimeter because its a very simple procedure and "multimeter" might sound scary to some people. :)
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Cheers for the guide dude! I have bootloader 4.10.1.9

Went to Maplins today and bought 1 x 300kOhm and 1 x 1kOhm resistor and made a jig as per instructions. Checked with a multimeter and it showed 301k resistance.

Touched the pins, went into download mode no problem. There are some kinda plastic lugs on the USB slot which kind of guide the jig into place. Connected to PC and ran the samsung tool. Took about 20 seconds and it said complete and then rebooted my phone.

When the 7392 update is pushed i will give it a go and see what happens!
[Omnia 7 General] xdamir:
Hi, you do realise that you're referring to pin 1 and 2. Beware that it is actually pin 4 and 5 that need to be used, there is even more elaborate guide under Samsung Captivate section. Kindly correct yourself and refer to the original post in this case, if possible provide a link so that people can see how pins are organised.
[Omnia 7 General] lutherkingmartin:
300kOhm work too. I test it (150+150)
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
The picture does illustrate the correct pins to touch though in case people are unsure. The ones in green are correct (whether labelled incorrectly i don't know! :) )
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
The link and source about the pin-count and labeling is included in the NOTE. Check yourself.

Source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Micro-USB.jpg

or: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Types-usb_new.svg

Pin 1 and 2 as described are correct ones

and they are labeled correctly.

And with Omnia7 they are not closer to the headphone jack as described in most of the posts.

Also we are not soldering anything here. "Simple guide for OMNIA7".

The post that you are referring to ( I think ) is about soldering pins onto usb-jack and than inserting that usb-jack into USB-plug device.

This is not a case.

KraFT
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
Great :)

Have you checked for the update via Zune?

(Connect the phone with the PC and: Zune -> Phone -> Settings -> Update

KraFT
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Yep - It seems from reading the Windows Phone update blog that no one on Orange has received it yet.
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
After the update:

1. To get your Omnia7 into Download mode:

Phone off and:

- Press and hold the Camera button;

- Press and hold the Volume DOWN (-) button;

- Press and hold the Power button;

- Release the power button when you see white Samsung Omnia7 Logo on your screen.

[Omnia 7 General] jezza333:
I have the problematic bootloader version and couldn't get into download mode, or update with Zune [hangs on 'Rebooting your phone' with the phone on the USB to PC screen]. I soldered a 300k resistor to the pins on the back of a MicroUSB connector, as the resistor's wire was too thick to hold it on the phone's micro usb tongue manually.

It worked. Cheers for the tutorial. Samsung really do need to be shot over the update issues; unless you're tech savvy and read XDA, how the heck is anyone to know how to get the update ball rolling? I only recently bought the phone as I wanted to compare WP7 to Android.
[Omnia 7 General] :
Very nice tutorial :)

If you don't want to build your own jig, you can also buy them in the internet :)
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
If I have a 300k ohm resistor at hand, can I use it straight away? (without 2 or more resistors in series). I suppose yes but my electronics skills and knowledge are mediocre.
[Omnia 7 General] :
I guess this will also work :) It's the same :)
[Omnia 7 General] vicie:
When I use the volume down key +power+camera combination, it asks me if I want to do a format, yes or no?

is that right??
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
I think it's different depending what software version you are running. Mine is the same as yours, with volume down it asks me to format.

Try pressing Volume up + Camera + Power and see if you get download mode.

What bootloader version are you on?
[Omnia 7 General] vicie:
probably. When I use volume up, it freezes, and have to un&replug the battery in.

Thanks anyway.
[Omnia 7 General] hungelt8:
no,pressing vol down + camera + power is heading to FORMAT MODE
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Loodakid:
I'm an extremely paranoid person when it comes to risky situations, i use SD android builds because there isnt any risk on the phone, but i want to move to NAND, however i read many times that NAND flashes could brick my phone (it already seems like a reallly complicated process in itself), so is there a way where i could start the expirementation with NAND with ANY danger on my phone through backing it up?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
You can back up your sd build by simply connecting your phone to your pc while in Windows Mobile, and dragging your sd build folder from your storage card to your desktop of your pc.

As for backing up WinMo, there are several backup programs available, but none of them will back up everything totally. But you will lose WinMo by flashing NAND Android anyway, so backing up Windows shouldn't be much of a concern to you, right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Loodakid:
i dont care about the SD builds or Win Mo, its about the phones bootabilty, basically, i want to make it 110% brick proof, is that possible? (because im bascially a noob)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
The only way to limit the chances of a brick is doing the steps as they are in the tutorial.....which is clearly outlined :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Loodakid:
but is there still a chance of having it brickin up on me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
I think theres always a slight chance (maybe 1%) lol but seriously i highly doubt you'll brick your phone. many ppl scream ahh my phone is bricked because the rom doesnt start.....the fact the phone even turns on shows its not bricked. if the worst comes to the worst most ppl have to reflash windows mobile and start from the beginning
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Loodakid:
so the probability of me having to return the phone to the shop is nearly zero?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azer0:
more or less, yes. if you follow the guides provided on rom threads, then your pretty safe. just have a look at the link posted above so you know what not to do, then happy flashing

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtorral:
I am considering the Transformer over the Acer A500 mainly because of the display. However, I do enjoy the sd card and usb ports on the acer.

I am confused with the Asus ports. Since I am not interested in the dock, I was wondering if the asus has usb and micros sd ports on the tablet without needing the dock.

If not, I may just end up keeping the acer. However, do you know of other additional features of the transformer over the acer? (besides the dock)

Thanks!

Yea the TF tablet itself doesn't have the USB ports. It just has the SD Card slot
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
It has MicroSD and mini HDMI but no USB, I don't know for certain but it looks like Asus will be producing a desk dock (not keyboard), maybe it'll have a USB port .... that's pure speculation on my part. :)

It appears that link is taking you to several throttled download sites. For Rapidshare, when you click download you start a very annoying download counter that does not actually give you a downlo0ad button until it counts down. It appears you are getting a download, but until you wait and the download button turns green, you did not.

Faster data speeds depends on your modem I believe. Try other modems. Some work better for others. Im running trigger 3.2 with the bali 1.8.5 kernel and the kb5 modem. My data speeds are very nice. Trigger is faster than bionix from my experience. Try the kb5 modem.

Hello, I'm new here and I've had my phone (GT540) for about 9 months now and went from 1.6 to 2.1 via the necessary LG update. I recently rooted my phone to uninstall some annoying system applications. I then thought about upgrading my phone, one friends got a Samsung Galaxy Ace and one has a Samsung Galaxy S II with 2.2 and 2.3, so I was wondering whether to upgrade my phone. The main points I'm thinking of are:

Is it easy to brick your phone ('cos I don't want to)

Is it worth it, 2.3 better than 2.1 or worth sticking with 2.1

I was hoping you guys could help me as you all seem pretty experience. Thanks!
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Hello my opinion is if you want performance, stability, and all the options working stay with 2.1 or eather a custom 2.1 modified for better performance , which are quite some out there.

2.3 is faster yes , but still buggy and has cyanogenmod seetings (some like it, others can live without it), 2.2 kind of the same thing but a bit less faster.

[GT540 Optimus General] mixlis:
no skip to 2.3
[GT540 Optimus General] lukemovement1:
I've been using cyanogen 7 for a wile now, when I put 2.1 on to test my app it almost made me cry, and I noticed a major speed difference.
[GT540 Optimus General] djdestiny:
I noticed the same thing when i used Mur4ik's CM 7 for GT540 , it was quick , but there are flaws , seriously , who wants flash to run on a small device ? That's gonna chew up batteries quickly .

Simply put , i love the OS , video playback a little flawed though , view 3 or so times of videos and i have to reboot the phone . ( v1.3 )
[GT540 Optimus General] matthewtelee:
Thanks for your opinions, I think I'll go to 2.33 but then I heard somewhere you can downgrade it to LG 2.1.
[GT540 Optimus General] marlboroazrag:
2.3.4 is way better then 2.1 ! I would never be back to 2.1..

BTW: It's not so easy to brick an Android phone I've changed roms many times.

[GT540 Optimus General] maryyo:
I tried every version from 1.6 to 2.3.4, (i actually flash my phone once a week), and it's to early to say, but i think Mur4ik's 2.0 M5 is really far better then any else version.

Its really fast, for now no FCs, no unexpected shut downs, no lags, and battery is on 60%, and it's 2d3h on battery!
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
The fix for memory problems has been posted in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104399

CM7 is pretty slick and cool but I still prefer the stock looks over CM7. I really wish someone would put together a MoDaCo custom ROM style 2.2/2.3 ROM for GT540.

MoDaCo custom ROM is a ROM that has no visual modifications from stock but has several performance mods and hacks and an optimized kernel.

I've been testing GB ROMs for a while now and ran into the same problem/phenomenon on each of them: my clock loses ~70s/day. The stock Froyo Sense ROM has ~3s/day. Although Clocksync takes care of that either way, the question is still the same: why the hell would my phone do that on Gingerbread? It's obviously not a hardware problem, and it's irritating (at least for me - yes, i'm irritated by such things ;) ). I already tried playing around with different CPU governors, but that didn't help either and just used more battery.

Soo... am i alone with this or has anyone else seen the same behaviour? Or even better, can anyone tell me what causes ist?
