Can't the SGS2 do this already? My SGS was always able to use any of those cheap Chinese adapters with a microphone, in-line volume control, and button. The button did work for answering calls and changing music. Usually the responsiveness is not quick IMO, but it worked...allowed me to answer calls while on my bike. I didn't actually like to have to be forced to use that adapter, so I installed ROMs which incorporate Voodoo Sound in the kernal (like Darky's) so I can speak into the mic with my headset still attached.

Q. On the SGS2, is it like how the SGS Samsung ROMs, in which you have to disconnect the headphone in order to use the phone Mic? That's pretty lame is its true...the iPhone allows you to speak into mic with headphone attached. so is it true that even the cheap adapters don't work?

Hey there

I have the Diddybeats headset, it has 3 buttons.

Currently only the middle button is accepted and is keycode 226.

I'm using the key code accessory in Clockwork Mod to find out what my keys are mapped to.

Pressing the volume up/down buttons provides no key whatsoever.

Do you know if there are other methods to find out the keycodes? Apparently this headset is accepted by iDevices so there's obviously some sort of signal being sent through that connector.

Thanks

Hi, I used logcat to find the right keycode for the HTC headset.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rickgillyon:
I've used logcat to try and find volume codes. Doesn't seem to come up with anything for volume keys on my headset.

Play/Pause button comes up with a:

D/BluetoothIntentReceiver

line with the "scancode" 226, and the button works.

Volume, don't get any of those, just get:

I/InputDispatcher, delivering key

W/KeyCharacterMap, no keyboard for id 0

D/Input Reader, Input event, Value=0

No idea how we can change the file for volume if there's not even a key captured for it... :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dkl_uk:
What an odd response there in regards to D/BluetoothIntentReceiver.

Could it be that multi-use headsets are handled differently?

I have installed many free apps claiming to handle headsets but none do. Nothing seems to be able to capture the volume keys.

How Do I downgrade from 2.3.3 [JVO] to 2.2.1 [JPY] using Odin? How do I fully downgrade it all, bootloaders etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
well you need to find a froyo ROM with bootloaders - if you updated them when flashing GB 2.3.3

ideally you want a froyo ROM with all 3 files and a 512PIT, also with re-partition checked.

head over to www.samfirmware.com and have a look there for a 2.2.1 with all 3 files,

IT MUST CONTAIN BOOTLOADERS IF YOU CHANGED THEM !!!

alternatively if you cannot find a froyo rom with 3 files AND bootloaders. flash this first as a single PDA with NO pit and NO re-partition http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download

then flash a firmware with 3 files and pit

hope that makes sense ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jheysl2:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJViking:
Samsung Galaxy SII is supposed to support video calls through 3G communications. I have read someone having trouble with video calls. Anyone got it to work?

Video calls through 3G communication is supposed to work with any 3G phone, regardless if its Android, Symbian, or whatever mobile OS on it. Apple made their own solution with FaceTime, and I know google has its own solution GTalk? as well.

I think it is superfluous that Google should make their own solution like Apple did as it does not support interoperability between 3G devices. Voice and video calls are normal mobile communication methods that should not have different implementation that whats in the 3G standard.

This is the link that explains it all pretty much in a nutshell how to do it...

I recommend that you go with something that is more up to date - something like HyperDroid NAND Gingerbread version. The one you posted is fairly older and HyperDroid was made strictly for HD2 - therefore you will see lots of improvements.

I currently have MDJ 2.6 NAND Gingerbread with CM7 and it works flawless. Unfortunately it cannot be found easily due to MDJ not being forthcoming with the source of his work...

Anyhow, best of luck... and remember to search!

dont buy charger from ebay..:))) go to local shop and get one universal for samsung..:) the charger is the same as for SGS1 mate....

second thing is the same - for car charger...just buy a charger with micro USB even for HTC or NOKIA..they are all the same...

dont make things complicated...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] andrek64:
W.r.t. car chargers: They are not all the same !

The difference is in the charge current they can support.

There are 500 mAmp versions;

There are 1000 mAmp (1 Amp) versions;

And then there are a few 2000 mAmp (2 Amp) versions.

I would at least get a 1 Amp version to be sure that charging is more than an active SII would alreday consume (GPS, Bluetooth,...)

I myself bought a 2 Amp version.

(Note the standard Samsung Wall-plug delivers 700 mAmp.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mahniex:
I have a 2 A car charger. Originally sold for the Ipad2.

Works well - no freezing, but the phone still tends to discharge very slowly whilst using Sygic with GPS on and bluetooth. This is a common issue on the SGS2 and is NOT solved by a high current charger. It seems that there is a limit to how much current the phone can take (possibly software implemented) and there is nothing to be gained between a 1A and a 2A charger
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lefter:
Thank you Mahniex for taking the time to post your observations.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] woaloo:
Thank you Mahniex for your testing,

I also have a 1A car charger, but same problem here. After 200 Kms of driving with GPS on and BT on, the battery is draining so fast from 100% to 0%, that I can't use it a lot.

Maybe, there is also a problem with the cable. I use a Sync/charge Cable. Maybe if I could find one with only charging capabilities, it could be better.

I don't exactly know...

[General Questions and Answers] qipengart:
Okay, needless to say, operating systems like iOS and Android are improving plus the new processors heading to dual core. However, battery technology is way behind I think. What improvements are needed in this field to get a smartphone working for a week on one charge (not realistic but ideal)?

Fuel cells?

New alloys?

What would work to help our battery technology which is falling behind?
[General Questions and Answers] landoftheeskimos:
Battery technology is far behind but it has been for over 100 years. For electric cars Toyota claims to have a new battery with 2-3x the power density of current batteries. Although for general purpose I believe Lithium Phosphate is still the current state of the art technology.

Fuel Cells are neat technology but not yet that practical just like 10year miniature nuclear cells.

The biggest problems in my opinion are

1. phone size (everything is getting so thin or small in general) leaving less room for a battery

2. screen size (huge touchscreen = big power draw), and other things too that impact battery life.

3. things that run in the background keeping the phone cpu in something other than its lowest power state

4. screen brightness. Seems trivial but can make a big difference and I think all phones should have ambient light sensors are change automatically.

5. internet connectivity. It goes along with #3 in that it wakes the cpu, but also the current wireless chipsets don't seem all that energy efficient. Using any connectivity cellular, wifi, or bluetooth really eats the battery. Many report turning off wifi, bluetooth, and using 2g when possible significantly improve battery life.

Personally I have the biggest battery I could get for my phone and my laptop too. My 17" laptop runs 4.5 hrs at lowest brightness and 3 hrs at the brightest setting. Most phones aren't much different.

Sorry long rant...... does that break down your question correctly?

1) Touchscreen is much less sensitive than stock or any of the other ROM's I've run.

2) I've noticed during "Stay Awake" the screen intermittently changes brightness.

3) Amazon MP3 FC's when trying to play from local or cloud. Have tried reloading it, but no luck....

Everything else works fine, and these aren't really deterring me from using OMGB, but if anyone else has experienced this or knows of any fixes...

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danomat1073:
Yes. I noticed the screen responsiveness was not as good with the included launcher. I remedied this by installing launcher pro. That's what I always use anyway. No screen problems since.

I don't use stay awake mode, but in the past with other Tom's I have turned it on and found that other screen setting still take effect. Example...if I have my display set to time out after 1 minute and then set stay awake to on under applications/development, I have noticed that after the 1 minute time limit the scree will dim, but stay on. I fixed this by setting my screen time out to as long as the settings will allow.

I have no idea about the mp3 crashings

It still might be a touch early I realize, but I've been one of those guys drooling over the SGS2 only to find out we won't get it on T-Mobile but should get the Hercules instead. It's up for pre-order on Mobile City. I know that doesn't mean a lot, but it is a little more promising. I'm starting the process of finding out if any developers are eying this phone. If the Hercules ends up being a SGS2.1 I'm getting it for sure and will do all I can to help any developers get their hands on one.

Was hoping this might be a good forum to try since it's most likely full of T-Mobile Sammy fans.
