[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
Hi, I have a sg2 uk version with firmware ke7 (last one) with no root. I read some tips and tricks for this wonderful phone. I was trying one of these but it doesn't work. The tip is, while you're writing an SMS or writing something in the browser for example, you can use the volume up and down buttons to move the cursor if you have to correct some mistake for example, but this tip doesn't work! If I press these buttons obviously volume increase or decrease...can you try on your own galaxy to let me know what could be the problem? Maybe some app can cause this problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
are you confusing sg2 with the lg O2x. you should try the features thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
no man I'm not confusing with lg 2x. I'm talikng about galaxy s 2. Do you have this feature? Try and let us know. In mine there isn't, I was wondering if some app is creating this interference...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Therollingstone:
I havent heard of it before , would it be lg O2x?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
Have you got the gs2? Can you try and let us know if this works? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoTi_96:
no it can simply be set in keyboard apps like HTC_IME...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
the user that reported this tip on an italian forum, says that he is using go message pro with smart keyboard pro and it says it works. I tried with the same sms program and keyboard but it doesn't work for me. That's why I was asking here where usually people is more clever and geek to know all tips and tricks of phones :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:

and post some pics please.

Im tempted to get one.

i too am tempted to find one but not successful :( so i just bought a carbon sticker instead does not do much difference but prevents the phone from scratching in some areas. If you find anything post here thanks :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
Hi,

Would like to get you people's opinion if I should replace the stock launcher with either ADW Ex or LP+?

Thanks advice is much appreciated :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_123:
I use go launcher...its a matter of taste. Go just happens to have an appdrawer design I like and atheme I enjoy. Just download a few and see what works.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CHorden:
I downloaded 4 different launcher apps, and used the Home Screen Switcher to test them out.

Its quick and convenient, and you'll never be bored of the look on the device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Launcher pro for me, the Widgets are nice and the swipe feature to see miss calleds or SMS is the best, I had it over a year now, I use adw but didn't like it as much
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
Does both of them consume alot of battery compared to stock launcher ... ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paleryder:
There should be no diffwerence in battery consumption. I really like LP but ADW is also very good and like stated above it is really a personal preference I have the paid versions of both

ADW does do quite a bit of theming if that is your thing start there first
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Battery life is the same for me as long as you no start using extra widgets because launcher pro plus had more then you ash should be fine
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
I bought the LP+, and definitely didn't look back. One gripe is that there aren't much font back on the market ...

lol seams like a few people have problems with cm7 as for me every time i try to install it i almost get to the end of the installation and then it reboots automaticly and boots into cm7 but the touch screen dont work and i have tried many times and it fails every time.

Also on xda's cm7 page the install guide is all messed up as the links dont have the files that the say u need to download.

so i never got to try cm7 instead i installed cm6 and then from cm 6 i installed miui which works greatly.

I love the rom but really dislike not being able to tether. any help would be greatly appreciated. anytime i try to use wifi tether app it says im not rooted which is not correct obviously lol..

I know when i fist rooted my phone i keep getting the your not rooted error and to fix it i downloaded an updated busybox. You can find an app on the market called busybox installer and download the most current one they have and it should fix your problem as for the unlocked tether i have not been able to find any unlock for anything above froyo hopefully it will be soon for gingerbread to get cracked
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Falen:
Does anyone know where I can get the tun.ko for the G2X?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aobasha:
I believe Faux has a kernel that has tun.ko in it. Are you working on openvpn?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Veei:
Does anyone have a link to download the tun.ko driver for G2x? I'd prefer not to flash a ROM atm. Everything is working nice on my stock ROM for now. Going to wait until GB update if it ever gets released.

Need to get OpenVPN or VPNC working for my work's Cisco ASA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Tun.ko isn't a driver, its a kernel module. The kernel needs to support it, so just copying it over might not help.

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Veei:
Ah, I see. Not super linux savy so assumed it was a driver. Is it pretty easy to enable the module? Is there a huge risk in f-ing up your kernel / phone? If there's a guide that's relatively easy, might be worth a try.

Why did Android not support the most common VPN connection type out there? No support for PSK with group user/pass drives me batty.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhantomRampage:
It's really easy to flash a custom kernel, and it'll probably make things run a little smoother on your phone.

If you're still using the stock rom just flash this kernel as you would a rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102720

It'll flash the new kernel but leave your rom intact with no changes.

I may be wrong, but i think you'll need a custom rom with OpenVNP built in to work. I dont think just flashing the kernel with this module will just magically give you new functionality, but it's worth a shot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1exander:
Hi!

I have not released any ROM before, but I have a couple of them on my harddrive.

Both of them are ported from other devices, and iv'e used Z ROM just to get them booting, and then used FreeXperia sources for "optimizing" them.

Now to the question, I have one MIUI ROM, and one AOSP "stock google" ROM, which one do you think I should be focusing on and releasing? What do you guys want the most? Anything else I should put in there etc?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denenatse:
AOSP. I don't really like the miui interface, but Trip's ROM works great.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewddickey:
AOSP for GB or Froyo?

Like MIUI except for not having an app drawer. Only drawback.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] bdf:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lytnus:
Hiya,

I got hold of a pair of logitech Z305 USB speakers to try on my Transformer. When I plug them in, the light on them turns green, and the volume buttons on them work to increase and decrease my volume. However, I don't get any sound out of them; sound still comes through the tinny asus speakers!

So, is there any way to change where sound is output too on the tablet? I am aware that I could get a 3.5mm cable and plug that in to the speakers/netbook as well, which should work, but I was wondering if there was a more elegant/less cable-intense solution?

Thanks,

James
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armstrom:
It's important to understand that USB speakers (and usb headphones/microphones) are not simply speakers/headphones/mics. They are really little USB sound cards that happen to have a pair of speakers or mic hoooked up to a small power amp built in to them. They do not magically transfer the output of your built-in sound card to the speakers over USB. (like plugging in an 1/8" stereo plug would). So, unless the transformer has support for the standard USB audio protocols used by your USB speakers (and I doubt it does) you won't hear anything out of those speakers. Additionally, since the transformer doesn't know what to do with the USB sound card you have plugged it it doesn't recognize it as an alternative sound output (like A2DP bluetooth audio) and will continue to pump sound out of the built in speakers.

Your best bet is going to be to use standard speakers with an 1/8" jack or a set of expensive bluetooth speakers. Now, will the 3.1 upgrade bring support for usb speakers and headphones? Maybe... I haven't seen anything to indicate one way or the other aside from the very nebulous statement that 3.1 will provide USB host "support".

4G stands for HSDPA+

Many Operator in Europe (T-Mobile DE, Vodafone IT) support HSDPA+ with >21Mbit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapollo:
True but not exactly, because after December 2010 (ITU changed specs a little), LTE and WiMAX can also be referred to as 4G technology even though it does not meet speed requirements of 4G, that is really confusing since in e.g. USA 4G can mean WiMAX...

With ITU (telecommunication standardising body) it's all about the peak transfer capability if technology can reach certain threshold it gets the 4G tag...

This is a bit illogical since e.g HSDPA+ is not that much technologically different from standard 3G family derivatives as it is from "newer" LTE, or WiMAX ... long live confusion.

hope this helps :)

the gsm 4g in states is HSPA+ or whatever is called . And the G2x or O2X has i think QUAD bands wcdma , so i think that is why you see 4g . The H was replaced by 4G. In states 4g is just for marketing. A real 4g i can say is the LTE from Verizon , but WIMAX , and HSPA are no 4g in my opinion .

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexhtclegend:
Not really an 'issue' - the kernel isn't set up to allow overclocking, so why would it?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cserepg:
Not just overclocking. I can't go under 480 Mhz. That's a bigger problem for me.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexhtclegend:
I don't think the kernel allows you to change clock speeds from the MAX600 MIN480 HTC set as the default. Not an issue, but that feature will be added sometime (ogo2 said it would eventually I think)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cserepg:
OK, I thought that the default min clock speed is 245 Mhz. :(
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneil:
Oh ok, didn't know it depended on the kernel, thanks.. This may be a totally noob question, but this is the Q&A section so, can I not just flash another kernel that does enable overclocking...?

Guys, cannot start neither beta3 nor beta4. When flash beta3 (through Clockworkmod 3), the system doesn't load, green 'HTC' letters tend to reboot. After beta4 installation the same screen, but static - without any reboots. I have S-ON. Wiping doesn't help.

Please, advise what to do.

Too bad their the ones with the ferrari's... and it almost seems like a huge evil plan. I always get these texts with a "tip" that using wifi is free. Ok, so, you limit all your phones to 2gigs a month, charge the for going over, then HEY whada ya know, wifi is free! Bless us all were SAVED! OH, WAIT!!

Of course this works if you have the latest Music app installed. If you don't have it, then connect to US VPN and you can update in Market.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
There is no way to rule out GB as the cause of this failure right now. All we have is theories and the best fitting one is an emmc chip failure. Until we can find a user with a brick, who is still s-off, we can not learn more.

DO NOT FLASH OVER BRICKS, We need you to have s-off for trouble shooting.

UPDATE

We need info from brickers and non brickers please see

Please see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098363

--old post--

It has came to our attention, over the last few days that the recently leaked Gingerbread radios maybe causing a oddly large number of bricked phones.

This can affect any Thunderbolts running Gingerbread (except CM7 users), even after running fine for several days.

The cause at this point is not completely understood, and AndIRC as a whole recommends you revert back to Froyo until we understand it, or have a new leak.

When bricked, the phone is sent into an endless bootloop, no matter if you are booting into Android itself, or into the recovery. Trying to revert after the bootloop does not fix this issue.

Theories:

GB Radio causing corruption on the emmc:

Undisclosed chipset issue (Sorry no details will be coming unless verified)

GB miss reporting battery stats, aka just dead battery (Debunked by ryan2600 and I)

"Not sure if its the radio, i got a bootloop experience this morning after tethering my tablet on a freshly charged tbolt, few minutes later the phone died and stuck in a bootloop, there are times i can go to bootanimation sometimes it goes up to HTC screen and dies, I can go to HBOOT but before i can do anything the phone dies.

Good thing i have a 2 extra battery and an external charger from ebay, I swapped the battery and my phone is back to life, it seems like the GB roms are not charging the battery properly and reporting that the battery is around 80-90%" http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/hk54l/if_youre_using_the_leaked_gingerbread_build_or/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] zskate311:
Does this affect current users or just new flashers of the gb stuff?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swimminsurfer256:
I was under the impression that a bricked phone was a phone that doesn't turn on at all... Wouldn't you be able to put the PG05IMG file on your SD card through your computer if this ever happens and then do a battery pull and boot into bootloader and revert then?

*edit* I've also had an endless bootloop on GB and flashing a new ROM after wiping data/cache/dalvik fixed it... No more reboots yet at least.. maybe it wasn't the same thing that you're talking about!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Awww fiddlesticks! Well at least I get my baby back. Landscape Rosie is the girl for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
The instructions are for reverting for those who are not bricked.

These bricked phones will turn on, but we can not find a way to prevent them from bootlooping nor repair them.

You cant wipe data/cache/dalvik when you are in this type of reboot loop, as recovery reboots as well.
