I've gone into the settings and change my default notification sound from Cloud to anything else but it won't change. I can select any other sound but when I get a notification it still plays the Cloud sound.

I go check under setting and it is set to the other sound I chose but it still plays Cloud only.

Any thoughts or ideas

change in individual app's settings: email, text, etc. It held changes after doing so. Main sound settings should, but for some reason don't.

It's happening when I get a text message or E-Mail notification. I set the Notification sound under sound settings and it always plays Cloud instead of whatever I do choose.

I'm having the same problem.

I have the main notifications sound in the setting main menu to clouds for example, I'm using K9 mail and I have the sound for incoming mail set to something else, but when new mail arrives I get the main sys sound of Clouds. I tried setting up the stock email client and had the same result. The Text message sound plays different, but not the email.

Anyone know?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DGoward:
I was able to set both in their own apps. Messages & G-Mail the sound settings were there. It is now working on mine. I just failed to find it at first.

hi am vasigar from India. I bought this mobile 2 weeks ago and I one among those suffering from bad battery drain. So I installed Battery monitor pro today and incidently found that the phone is charged 972/1200 mAh (around 81%). As far as I know se arc has 1500 mAh capacity. So I am confused. Is it alright and the app reads like that or is there a mistake in either the battery or the application. Kindly help.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LemmingDesTodes:
It's not belong to the exactly question by vasigar, but the titel is right!

So I dont want to open a new thread. My question is:

Well known the Arc S have a capacity of 1500 mAh. But there are diffrend sizes out there. Its possible to find a battery is match to our Arc S physically but with a highe capacity, like 2000 mAh? :fingers-crossed::victory:

Thanks for kind answers in advance!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destroyedbeauty:
None of those extended capacity batteries will work properly because stock 1500 mah battery gauge of the Arc / Arc S is hardcoded in the kernel and into the battery gauge reading-drivers so you are stuck at 1500 mah without any advanced re-writing of the kernel and drivers..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyXperia:
All of those 2000mAh batteries of the same size are fake anyway. Don't bother and just buy an extra battery or an external battery pack.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destroyedbeauty:
It is pretty hard to verify if the batteries are fake stuff or truw extended ones because kernel and battery reading drivers can't calculate and read proper battery gauge, thanks to the hardcoding of stock value at 1500 mAh.
[HTC Incredible S] belveder69:
I just got the Incredible S a couple days ago and love it, glad I dumped my Xperia X10i for this.

I have ChompSms installed and every time I get a message I get it from Chomp and the phone book, how do I stop this?

Also, I imported my contacts from my sim card that I brought over from the Xperia and they show up fine and are useable but I can't move them into groups, when I go into a premade group (Family) and click to add a contact none of my contacts show up, how do I fix this?

Any help would be appreciated
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
When you say 'the phone book', I assume you mean the stock messaging app? If you open the 'Messages' app and go into settings, you can turn off the notifications and you'll then only see one notification (the Chomp one) when you receive an SMS.
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
transfer those contacts of your's to the phone or sync them with your gmail account, then probably you can add them in groups.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jing713:
Hello... just got a Galaxy S new and I think I have fully bricked it.

It was on 2.2 stock and I installed Darkys v10.1 extreme rom on it following the steps in this guide..

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-darkyrom-gingerbread-jvh-noob-friendly.3080/

I first installed

- Ficeto_JVH_I9000_Odin:

- DarkyROM_v10.1:

and installed the PIT and PDA.

I decided that I didn't like Darkys and tried to install Cyanogenmod 7 on it..

my friend said I needed to install a PIT first, then install a JPY rom afterwards.

I used Odin 1.3 and selected this pit "s1_odin_20100512"

and I think I pressed Re-Partition as previously in the guide that was what they did..

Auto reboot and F. Reset time were both ticked

This was the log

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> Removed!!

<ID:0/003> Completed..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

How can I save my new baby?!!!

When I mean bricked, I don't think it turns on at all...... doesn't light up or enter recovery.

:(:confused:

Most ironic is, I bricked it relatively easily when people said it's virtually unbrickable.

!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathijs727:
You may never flash just a pit file!!!

You only use it when you flash a 3file rom.

That's the same for repartition.

If you can get it in download mode, everything is fine.

Else your screwed...

A sgs is virtually unbrickable if you had flashed it correctly.

When you don't know how to flash always follow a tut!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shanakin:
I never realised you could just use a .pit without the rest.

The .pit file isn't "installed" it is a file which tells the system how to wipe and then repartition the memory in your phone. Essentially you wiped the phone without installing anything on it after that. I am not sure if it wipes the bootloaders as well (at the very least it has partially wiped them if recovery is not working)

If you can get download mode to work, then you should be alright. If it doesn't work, a jig may or may not help. If you can not get download mode to work, then you have no other recourse than to send it back for repairs. They will need to replace the erased bootloaders if this is the case.

If on the other hand you do manage to get it to work, read very carefully the process that is actually involved in flashing firmwares with odin/heimdall. Yes it is very hard to permanently brick your phone if you know what you are doing. Hell in most cases even if you don't know what you're doing it's hard to permanently brick your phone. You went ahead and did one of the few things that is a danger area though. In general though, you should not repartition (ie use the .pit file) unless necessary (although repartitioning wont really do anything bad it's completely unneeded in most cases) and don't flash boot-loaders unless necessary. NEVER repartition without flashing a rom with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jing713:
Thanks for your long and detailed explanation of what I have exactly done..

I had kind of guessed by now of what I have done.. which is very unfortunate as like you said, "I never realised you could just use a .pit without the rest. ".

Such a dangerous thing, I wouldn't have expected the software to allow me to do that

:(

Instead of making a jig with resistors, I have read that you can cut a micro usb cable instead??

Would you be able to direct me to other resources or information on how to make one?

If a jig doesn't work, how much money am I looking at for someone to fix it?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jing713:
Thanks for the encouraging words..

I'm downloading it now, 370mb?!

After download, do I use Odin 1.3 or 1.7 to flash the TAR and ONLY THE TAR?

BTW I'm with Windows 7 64 bit, I've seen guides saying 1.7 may not work perfectly... however It worked fine for me with installying Darkys rom..

i use 1.7 too, also running win 7 64 bit. no problems for me. :D

the firmware is a FULL FROYO including all dbdata's bootloaders, kernel the full monty

only insert the .tar file in the PDA section of odin.

it may not fix you completely, but it will restore most of the corruption, however we may need a 3 file firmware with PIT to fix the file system.

but we will cross that bridge when we need to

only repartition in odin will not brick your phone

that metod of flashing was always recomended in the old days by richtchofen and his rom publication (search for his topiscs with roms)

I am still doing it that way.

after flash only repartition you have to take out battery, put it on again and start your phone into download mode, if bootloaders ar ok it will boot without any problem, than just flash any of the full roms (jsd for 2.2 or jvo for 2.3)

Dear friends,

I purchased Galaxy S2 and I was very disappointed that I can't read Arabic on various applications like messaging, twitter and facebook. I managed to get Opera mini which allows me to read Arabic on the internet. Still I want to use the nice browser and the rest of the applications mentioned earlier.

I found a thread writter by madmack to enable Arabic. The steps looks really scary! What is framework.jar that I am replacing? is this similar to changing system32 folder in windows? how do I know that this will not ruin the rest of the phone functionalities. I mean do I need to do such a big change just to enable reading Arabic.

I've contacted Samsung support on this issue and this was there reply:Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the

following assistance.

Regarding your query, kindly note your handset does not support except

Western European Language.

Kindly note that unfortunately the option to add a language using an

application is not supported by your handset model through Samsung Apps,

however you may refer to the Android Market and check if there is a

language pack application that is compatible for download on your

handset. Kindly note that we do not advise that you refer to 3rd party

software as this could cause serious damage to the phone and you would

be liable for the damages caused by using 3rd party applications and the

handset won't be covered by warranty.

Is that the only way to enable Arabic? there is no such thing as an update or patch that you can install instead of making such a big change?

Kind regards,

Thats what I am saying, I found a post that tells me to do a root and change framework.jar. To be honest I don't know what is root neither framework.jar.

As you notice from Samsung's reply that making such a big change would invalidate my warranty.

Would there be any update in the future that we can get from Android market. I mean is that possible? or if I want to read Arabic I have to change a 400mb file size!!

cheers mate

Welcome to the world of android :p .

Since u bought a phone not yet supporting Arabic then u have to do some work. Don't worry, it's "should" b safe just read the steps carefully.
