The double clicking works on stock but you have to get the timing right, which is near impossible. The whole Samsung s2 stock music app is a load of crap compared to the original S, the sound, the music contol, the whole thing is much worse! I don't know what they have done, but they have definitely gone backwards with the music app!

You can use a remote from an HTC headphone for skipping tracks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] plastix:
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but the button does not work at all when using the stock app. No play/pause, no track skip, nothing.

All other music apps seem to work as intended. So surely this must be an issue with my stock music app? As if there is a hidden setting I turned off, but can't find to turn back on.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] onebutters:
About 2.5 years too late but I think I've nailed it. I can get a consistently successful double click skip by holding the first click a little longer. Using a pair of cheap Sony earphones on the S2.

Hi,

I had i9000 witk Darkys 10.1 with 2.3.3 bootloader

I want to go back to stock (branded) so that I can use my warranty.

I've tried going to JS7 http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-stock-rom-gt-i9000-only.486/

and my kernel got stuck at

2.6.32.9 root@SE-S608 #1

I've tried flashing several froyo (1 and 3 files) from samsungfirmware I've tried flashing my branded firmware, I've tried upgrading my branded firmware with KIES.

Nothing helps my kernel stays the same.

I think I should get (at some point) a stock kernel without the "root" word... Right?

What should I flash or where do I get a stock kernel - regardless of version. I just need stock firmware. I've tried googling, it didn't help.

I've tried flashing http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock-kernels/XWJP6-Kernel.tar as PDA without repartition. No luck :(

Hello, tried searching , can't find anything here.

I have push email with stock email client, connected to my company's Notifylink server, the main mail server is Groupwise.

The stock email client is displaying messages as plain text with all headers and html tags on screen - almost impossible to read. See the attached screen grab.

Is this a problem with how Notifylink is set up at my company? Other android phones and iPhones do not have this problem though.

Please help.

A friend of mine recently purchased a Xperia Arc, but is having serious problems with the WiFi connection. In some networks have no problem in connecting, especially in connection with no WEP or WPA protection. But in other WIFI networks, such as home, insert the password, and indicates that you are connecting to wifi, but then disconnects and sometimes tries to connect but never succeeds. The impression I get is that while you are connecting, the wifi search process refreshes too fast and lose the connection.

Android he has tested with 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 and the problem persists.

Anyone else will happen?

A greeting.

WiFi Problems

I've been having WiFi issues @ home too. Mine will connect for about 5 minutes, then it will disconnect, and won't reconnect until I reboot the router.

What I've done is change the encryption from WEP to WPA. Also I've tried changing the channel setting in the Wireless setup. I've tried 5, 6 and 10 so far.

It's improved the WiFi somewhat (can go 20-45 minutes) but the problem still persists. I'm going to keep trying different channels, not much else I can do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: I've just come across this, @work right now so I've not tried: This was happening to me too, thats because arc doesnt work with mixed g/n wireless mode (at least, on the 2 routers i've tried this on). You need to set your router to either use just N, or just G, then it works fine.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McT1980:
I got wifi issues. It randomly disconnects when used,like downloading from marked if the files are like 2mb+. It continues to download after a short break but still very annoying. Was hoping the 145 update would fix it but it didn't so i'm sending mine to service tomorrow.

And don't suggest different router settings or another router. Tried it all. Besides when u buy a phone like this u expect it to work on WEP,WPA,WPA2 etc.

Seems like only a few got this problem so hoping for a nice working device or a new device when i get the phone back.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eighty89Teen:
My guessing it is a hardware problem

I take mine to the service and asked them to replace it, and they come up with a lame excuse, that i wait for the 2.3.4 update and it will fix this !!

It is NOT the router fault at all. You can check this link for the problem in SE support forum

Hi guys!

I'm sorry to hear that you are still experiencing problems with Wi-Fi even if some of you have updated to Android 2.3.3 which contains improvements for Wi-Fi.

So first of all I would like to say that all of you that haven't updated to Android 2.3.3 update, do so. As you may know the launch of the update differs from market to market and is also depending on operator customization.

If you still experience problems running on Android 2.3.3 you should check if the problem remains if you connect to another router (just to be sure that this is not caused by some setting in your router)

And if problems would still remain using another router I would suggest that you leave the phone to your retailer so a service technician can examine the phone at a repair center.

My phone (XPERIA NEO) worked perfectly with 3.3.2. However since the latest 3.3.3 the wifi constantly dies when downloading large files or viewing youtube clips. I can tell you that it is not in any way related to the access points, I have reproduced this with several manufactures of wifi AP/routers.

This is a driver bug, at least the kernel logs says so.

So we are all working with and on the XT720 and have had defeats and triumphs with it for various reasons. Saw another thread about sticking with the XT720 or moving on the a Nexus 1 and it made me think for a minute. There are some seriously tech savvy people in this forum that are using a locked phone and making it the best it can be (which I graciously thank you for your work and time).

My question is this: If you could pick ANY phone, not withstanding Money for contracts, data or the actual phone itself, what would you pick and why.

Various things that might apply would be customization, internal, external space, apps, UI, 2.2/2.3, manufacturer,...Pretend like you have Carte Blanche and could pick anything you want. Please make it a current model, nothing that is going to come out in fall of 2011 or anything like that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Hello all,

before I install lite'ning rom to gain root I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing.

As far as it being safe I assume it is similar to the galaxy s, it may go wrong but I should always be able to flash another rom to fix?

If I flash an unofficial rom an entry will be created on the phone logging this and the only way to remove this entry is to buy/make a jig thing?

With that in mind should I get hold of one of these jigs before flashing?

Oh and I only really want to root because I want to install adfree and be able to delete all the samsung rubbish apps which will hopefully improve battery as well.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Thanks very much that's everything I wanted to know
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
I read that the JIG does reset the custom rom install counter,

but that there is another counter that counts the number of times the above couter was reset.

I'm not really sure if this is true.

Does this second counter exist?

Before I had a LG Optimus 2X but the SGSII is much better.

However samsung seemes to look closer on custom roms and modifications as LG does, and makes it a bit more difficult to install modifications.

Modding on LGOS was eays and rather straight-forward.

Before I try on the SGSII i'd like to be sure I can reset the phone to a state where it is not possible (or at least only with effort) find out a custom rom was ever on it.

So, anybody knows more about that additional counter or if there are any other means to tell if anything was done to the phone that voids the warranty?

Thanx in avance!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuniorGG:
I noticed that 1 hour of display on at normal brightness (just that, no aps running, no-nothing) drains my battery of about 20%, with the default wallpaper. I'm pretty "impressed" by this, and I wonder... is it normal?

In addition, I had a feeling that was more than confirmed by a specific test that I performed. Well oddly enough to say....

With display brightness set to minimum, and just the diplay on continuously for 20 mins, I get 10% battery drain, but...

With display brightness set to 60%, and again just the diplay on continuously for 20 mins, I get only 5%, and the units' temperature also lowers a bit!!!

I also get similar results (5% drain or so) with display brightness set to 80%...

Therefore, at least for my unit, it looks like for saving battery life, I should keep the display brightness fix at 60% or even more!

I don't know why this happens but I suspect that the brightness regulator of the display drains much more power than the amount it helps to save from dimming the display!

Anyone to confirm?

Not to be rude, but there are a few threads concerning power consumption/battery use/display . if you have a browse around, and did some reading up, you would find some of the solutions that other people are using?

also, when posting a thread like this, you should try and give as much pertinent information as possible, for example, what firmware are you running? have you rooted the phone? is it branded or unbranded?

Again, not being rude to you. Just trying to give you some pointers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuniorGG:
Hi Stoney,

thank you but yes, actually I did make some search, but couldn't find anyone claiming that his dislay is draining more at dim than at full brightness... Maybe I was not searching in the right direction, in such case I would be pleased if you could give me some hints.

Cocerning my phone, it's unbranded and unrooted. I bought it 5 days ago, and I've updated it with Kies to the latest firmware available from Samsung:

Build is Gingerbread XWKE7

Kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725

Baseband is I9100XWKE1

Did not notice any improvement, nor any degradation, in battery life after updating.

At the moment my battery is at 77%, and display is reported to have drained 68% of it, and it's reported to having been on for 1 h 15 mins.

This means that the display alone has drained 68% of 33% battery drain in 1 h 15 min, which makes approx. .68*33=22.5% of battery drain in 75 mins.

It means that, the display alone, without CPU or watever, totally drains my battery in 75*100/22.5=330 mins, or if you prefer, in 5 h 35 mins.

Well, I find this value really frustrating since aside from being miles away from my old nokia N95 8GB, I'm wondering how people can say that they get more than a full day of heavy usage out of this phone... I don't know if battery life is better or worse than other touch screen phones, because that's the first one I own, but I remember having read that Iphone 4 for instance, survives for more than 7 hours with continuous web browsing (and hence not only with the display on, but also with many other tasks running)... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
I can imagine it is quite frustrating, seeing people post that their phone is lasting a full day+(mine does) and yours isnt.

So what steps have you taken?

before updating to KE7, did you (backup your apps/anything on internal memory you want to save) and then wipe the cache, and factory reset(from the privacy settings on the phone)?

Do you use the samsung hubs/'AP app,etc? If not, have you tried freezing/deleting them?(I froze mine on the basis of you never know when/if you want to use them at some point)

These are the two things I did immediately after updating to KE7 and finding out it was draining the battery, after I performed those two steps, things went back to normal for me.

I dont tend to hammer the phone(now anyway), but on an ave day, I spend around 30-45 mins chat, 15-30 texts, 30-45 mins gaming, 2 email on push sync, fb/twitter updates, xda app. I dont tend to watch video much on it(I have a tab for that, a very much underused tab since I got the S2).

I usually have 20-30% battery come bedtime. I have the display on auto, timeout on 2 mins.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalid:
You have to take two things into account:

1) Your N95 had a MUCH smaller display, with another screen technologie and fewer pixels, as well as a much slower chipset and no touchscreen.

2) The Iphone too has a smaller display, with backlighting, which drains less battery and has as well a less powerful SOC.

That a 4.3 inch display would drain the battery fast, shouldn't surprise anyone imo. Compared to the Iphone it's a ~20% difference in screensize. Since the displays drains most of the battery, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the Iphone lasts longer ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuniorGG:
Stoney, sorry but if you tell me to stop/freeze processes, you haven't understood my post. I repeat that the problem with my phone is the display that drains about 1Watt only for being on, no matter the brightness (actually, at high brignthess it drains LESS). This has nothing to do with processes. When the display of my phone is off, the battery lasts ages. For instance, this evening I went jogging for one hour with Sports Tracker (on GPS) and the music player always on, but the display off. The battery just dropped about 10%, which is perfectly normal. If instead I dare to turn on the display, I can actually see the battery draining and the phone becoming warm.

II would be useful if you could do a small check for me: after full charging the battery, leave the screen on for a while with about 50% brightness and the home screen. After 2 or 3 hours, could you please report to me the screen % usage, and the corresponding net "on" time? Only this can be a proof that my unit is faulty, and the display is draining much more power than normal.

Chalid, for sure this display is bigger than that of the iPhone and even bigger than that of the N95. But does this justify a cosumption of more than 1 W (since it drains the full 7Wh battery in just 5.5 hours)? Well, in my opinion, by no means! And besides, where the AMOLED displays said to require less power than LCDs, or were they not?

IMHO a display draining more than 1 W is a killer on any mobile phone! (again: UNLESS mine is faulty for some reason)
