Hey now.

I've noticed that when I read/delete an email from my gmail app, it doesn't seem to sync with the web server. I can log into gmail on my PC and see that the emails are still "new".

Incoming emails sync fine, but the issue is with deleting emails an marking them as read.

Anyone else having these problems?

Thanks!

I have this problem again lot. Sometimes it deletes but not always. You could clearing cache and data and go under settings-labels and sync all.

Is there anyway to get just virus rom boot animation!!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] EvilDobe:
The quickest way is to download the virus ROM, find the "bootanimation.zip" file and put it where your current "bootanimation.zip" file is. Make sure you set the correct permissions otherwise it no workie.

Just sayin'

Question: how to obtain only part of a rom

Thought process: how do I open it and extract part? I know the rom is a .zip so unzip it and poke around.

Further research:

Google search "android boot animation" and "android rom structure"

Hi every one,

i'm going to upgrade to a new phone soon!

First i wanted to go with the Samsung GS2 but a far as i red, it has a Yamaha DAC! Now, is the Audio QUALITY (i don't care about the volume that much! on my OLD Nokia N95-3 i never listened on a higher vol. level than 50% at home, with my cans) comparable to... sayin' an iPod touch 2nd gen? (wich is, besides my N95 and netbook, the only device i have to capare lol) or a Netbook onboard Soundcard? (Realtek HD Audio...) or should i rather get the ATRIX? (wich has a wolfson DAC, i think) but the bad thing on the Atrix is that is doesn't have as much memory (11,5 gigs vs. nothing) wich means i can't put my whole library on the phone...

EDIT: what i basicly wanna ask is: is the Audio Quality of the Yamaha DAC really THAT BAD?

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sorrow1994:
has rly no1 any idea?

You should head to GSMARENA for a comprehensive review on the audio quality of the SGS II:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-review-597p8.php

"Things aren't as impressive when you plug-in a pair of headphones. Stereo crosstalk, which increases rapidly, volume levels decrease and intermodulation distortion starts creeping in. The general result is still decent, but we've certainly seen better here." ...hmmm:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangejuice1982:
I too say the GS2, although the tegra 2 processor is good the exynos prosessor easily out performs it, noticably. As for the laptop dock, a big fail.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgetmyname:
Peace and rape in the same sentence!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuMaX:
It's decent. I'd assume that only an audiophile would be able to tell the difference.

But the SGS2 is a far better choice imo compared to the Atrix. Especially when you consider that the Atrix is more expensive than the SGS2, has a smaller screen, no SMOLED+, slower cpu/gpu, smaller customer base, less development, etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesjohnson:
If you've been paying attention to the dev thread on the atrix, you know that there's about to be some VERY big things happening ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuMaX:
I'm sure there is, but it's pretty clear that it is essentially an inferior device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfxdomain:
Why is that? Atrix is 16GB device, with 1GB of RAM, exactly the same as SGS2

I have Atrix 4G for a month, my father liked it a lot and want to get one. Now i am thinking about giving my atrix to him and getting SGS2 for myself. I like SGS2, but i want say that "it is essentially an inferior device" is incorrect, Atrix certainly have some problems, but so SGS2 as well. HDMI port on Atrix it's a very nice thing, and it works on any HDMI TV or monitor in 2 modes (media center or webtop) without any additional hardware, via included HDMI cable. SGS2 screen is better indeed in size and quality, but atrix have better resolution, 800*480 on such a big and hi-quality screen as SGS2's one it's an epic fail IMO. Anyways, what i am saying is that grass isn't always greener on the other side, Atrix and SGS2 are perfectly comparable devices of the same generation/price range (Atrix is cheaper now), just compare all the +/- of both devices to decide which one better fits your needs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
Doesnt the Atrix share half it's RAM with the WEB OS for the docks though?? If so, that's not so good.

Also, with a pentile display, the Atrix higher resolution still looks aweful as it's pixellated. This is what put me off it.

Aside from being slower, im sure the Atrix is a nice device :)

Edit: Sorry, meant to say, for audio, I use poweramp and as far as i'm concerned, the audio is quite good. Then again, ive

never rated ipod/iphone audio quality so my opinion is probably biased lol.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfxdomain:
I am not sure what it shares with Webtop, but the amount of available RAM is around 800 MB, which is roughly the same as SGS2.

About display, first of all I do agree that SGS2's one is better, but all the stories about awful pentile display are way exaggerated. Atrix have a very good hi-res display, I've compared it to LG G2X's one head to head, you may notice pentile only when trying to read extremely small content, for example while fitting to screen big webpage without any zoom. On normal usage scenarios it looks perfectly on par with non-pentile displays.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephriam:
Hi all,

I don't know if my eris is finicky or I just like XTR Rom/XTR Sense, but every 2.2 and up rom I've tried has been much slowed than any XTR rom I've used, BUT I want to use Google Music on my Eris (requiring 2.2 or higher).

So, if anyone can give me suggestions... I've been using GSB 3.4 with Launcher2 (after reading some threads), but it's much, much laggier, even with similar clock settings. I also used nonsensikal froyo awhile ago, but it loved lag and locking up.

tl,dr: looking for the fastest 2.2+ rom

Cheers
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpiddy14:
It might just be your phone. I also experience everything you have just said. I try other ROM's and do the same settings and everything and I fell that anything over 2.1 is laggier and I get terrible battery life. I always switch back to Xtr Senses. I know its probably not what you want to hear. I also love some of the newer features but it looks like we are the minority on this issue.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
It's hard to say - I find that almost every ROM I run feels about the same speed as any other. That said, Launcher2 is not a fast launcher - you will be much better off with LauncherPro, LauncherPro Plus, ADW, or ADW EX.

If you read through the GSB thread you will see some recommendations for performance which may help. By default the max clock runs at 604 MHz, while xtrROM by deafault runs at 710, so you can try bumping up the max clock (settings->cyanogenmod settings->performance -> CPU settings). Also read up on the supercharger scripts; I suggest number 14 (for the bulletproof launcher).

Others, hopefully, will chime in with other suggestions.

Oh, and now that I think of it - AmazonMP3 seems to run very well on the xtr roms, if I am not mistaken. Buy a single album on Amazon's MP3 store and you get 20 GB of music storage for free. They have that new Lady Gaga album (not song) for 99 cents today; even if her music makes you gag, you get that 20 MB of storage for the next year for 99 cents. Not a terrible deal. Perhaps that will take you through until you can upgrade the Eris to a better phone later on, which will run Froyo/GB far better for you?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephriam:
Yeah, except I will be running Google Music (2.2 and up only), so heading back to the 2.1 based XTR roms is not going to work... and my upgrade is in another year (cripes!).

What about Zeam launcher? Anyone have any luck with that?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Well, that's what I was getting at with Amazon. 20 GB of online storage and you can play music using the Amazon MP3 app from the online storage on the Eris. I know that Google music adds some not-very-good-yet pseudo-genius playlist feature, and 20,000 songs rather than 20 GB, but it's worth a try.

I have heard good things about it. It has to be better than Launcher2, and it's free to try.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Assuming you've fully reformat your SD card, wipe system data/cache/dalvik and delete the .android_secure folder while in Recovery mode with USB enabled before (re)flashing GSB V3.4 - mine is using LP 8.6 (upgraded from 8.5) using default 604/480 setting (or 710 max) but not running SuperCharger V6 scripts - only ATK - and everything is fine for me, including GPS, wifi, Android music player, and MMS, etc.

For equally fast GB rom, check out MacRoms and CM's varied GB ROMs (plus Tazz's) - if you do need/use GPS as they don't work on my hardware/configuration at the moment. All of the developers are busy trying to get it "right" with the latest CM release/patches & workaround - just a matter of time before we get to a "Final Release".

On Workshed's GSB V3.4 - I'm getting around 20 hours moderate usage on a full charge, wifi on mostly and sometimes with BT on for driving, and minimal widgets running - not the greatest but reasonable & to be expected with a 1500 mAH hour HTC battery. You might want to try Shed's FroShedYo 2.3.x ROM (it's a Final Release) as I was on that for a while, stable & reliable & quite speedy.

Good luck !
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wattnxt:
2.2 is and always has been a resource pig.

2.3 has promise, but still has bugs to work out.

The zepplinrox script has given my friend's Eris a new life, but so far GSB is the best thing I've worked with.

Tazz is working on Sense for GB, if I remember correctly. Still WAY early in the stages for that to be stable for daily use though.

good luck finding what you're looking for. Unfortunately, the Eris is only a v6 processor and there's only so far it can go.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
That's not correct.. a lot of people use it as a daily ya a few more kinks to work out but I wouldn't say u can't use it daily .. there are quick fixes for some things .. and no before someone says anything .no I'm not offended just wanted to let u know
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Everybody is different, I guess. This has not been my experience, at all. Just as for example, I always get better battery life, all else being equal, compared with the xtr ROMs.

As far as I know, the only major issue with the Froyo ROMs is a bug in GPS/Navigation, where using an app that pulls GPS data for a long time gets confused data coordinates; the Navigation part of Google Maps stops working, for example. You can reset GPS if you do not do this all that often.

It would be helpful to list the bugs, rather than just say that there are bugs. I am running the latest version of GSB and everything seems to be working just fine for me (though I just installed it yesterday and have not tried Navigation yet.) I suppose that there are minor ones, but right now the xtr ROMs are being plagued with a major calendar bug. It has nothing to do with the xtr build, as far as I can tell - it is happening to people running stock as well - but most likely with the changes that Google made to the calendar to fix the data leak on public WiFi networks. But, basically your phone stops displaying events in your primary calendar. And I tend to have occasional issues with xtrSENSE/xtrROM (and stock) not sounding alarm events when they should, or automatically snoozing them (so they go off 5 minutes later) until the event starts.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephriam:
Thanks everyone, I ended up flashing CELBFroyo (after flashing GSB, GTazz, OMGB, XTRrom/XTRsense, nonsensikal, and a few others) and sticking with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartyMango:
Hi!

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the mobile data connection on this phone? It frequently stops working. Being in an area with excellent HSPA+ coverage, this can't be a signal issue.

The phone will suddenly stop loading anything, while displaying "3G" and an active upload indicator in the notification area. No internet usage is possible in these situations.

The only remedy: Cycling "data network mode" off/on. The phone will then immediately pick up HSPA+ again, working as intended.

My previous phone (Nexus One), which I used pretty much identically and at the same places as my Galaxy S2, did not experience these stalling issues. Is this a general (firmware) problem, or should I possibly look into getting a replacement unit?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomelsmith:
I also have this problem. My SGS2 is on O2 (UK), got the phone from P4U.

Exactly the same problem, connected through H+ with good signal, suddenly the phone will switch to 3G and I will lose my connection, this can last for minutes unless I toggle data on/off. I am on KE7, but had this problem with KE2 as well.

It sounds similar to a problem mentioned in other threads, but this is the exact problem that I am facing.

I am also considering replacing the phone (if it is a phone issue, and not a firmware issue)

hello iznee,

so how did you disable fastdormancy ?

i tried the hidden menu *#*#9900#*#* but it didn't work.

or did you do uskr method posted about how to disable fast dormancy ?

what about the method of editing the system.prob ?

which one of them?

please clarify

and did that solved your problem about switching from 2g to 3g ?

It's not really a 2g/3g problem, more 3g/HSDPA and up problem.

And there "could" be two fixes, one I mentioned above (editing build.prop) lets call it data fix.

And the other requires deleting or editing the actual fast dormancy file as explained here

Both are actually uskr's fixes. I did the data fix, which worked, but to make sure, I also deleted dormancy file.

I just received the Trident Aegis case, in black, for my TB and can tell you this is one very high quality case. I had an Otterbox Commuter for my DINC and it was kinda cheesy for the price. The Aegis is what I'd consider the equivalent of the OB Commuter, but much higher quality. If anyone is sitting on the fence deciding between the Otterbox Defender and this newly released Kraken, I'd lean towards the Kraken.

What an awesome looking case! Great find :) I like that it has the dust covers over the mic and cam. And here I was all set to buy an Otterbox Defender case tomorrow lol.

The Seidio Defense case they sell at Best Buy under the name PT is pretty solid as well, it has a rubber covering over the cam that you just flip around when you need to use it, but I had to pass on it since it has no built in screen protector. I enjoy having a completely wrapped phone.

After perusing the Aegis cases, I gotta say I love the color/pattern scheme of it, but I would prefer the protection the Kraken offers, though I'm not as big on the Kraken look. Such a tough choice!
