i just tested my camera on KP8, it does NOT have any option to pause. the only thing you can do is, zoom(if you are on a 720p resolution or lesser only). besides that, stop recording. tht is all. the menu button does not work either.

this is the problem with samsung. they use only half their brains. they do not build a complete thing.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Man sometimes how dumb they can be. Just a pause button! Even my old Nokia phone had the feature.

So how difficult will it be to mod the camera apk to implement by XDA member?
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
Guys is it possible to connect my phone to my pc using LAN (Wireless LAN?) to transfer files? just like two PCs connected in LAN? I don't wanna use wifi explorers as they consume data and I've a limited data plan.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yes. Try ES File Explorer from market :)
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I have that. But won't it use up my data?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
No not at all. Even if you remove the data cables connected to the wifi router you can access the other system in the LAN.

The speed in which the files will be transferred is directly proportional to the distance you are from the router. If you are near by transfer speed will be full, if you move far it will get low.

Also you can access your system only if you are connected to you're home wifi. That's because you're mobile will be using the local network rather than broadband.

Just telling all these for you to confirm whether the app will use the wireless LAN rather than data. I'm 99% sure its not data, 1% as to I doing know what setup you are on in LAN :)

Hope I dint make it complicated lol. In short you won't incur data usage, but test for your comfort :)

Edit: you want to access the system in your mobile or your mobile in the system? If its the former then ES explore. If latter then kies or similar one from market just like rutu3 mentioned below.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Happy Birthday mate, have a great year ahead,

Sorry for wishing u soo late, but i was at auto expo, the whole day, and just returned home.
[Galaxy S II General] rutu3:
U can try kies air...
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
No, u simply can't. Just because our phones doesn't have a LAN port. :p
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Happy Birthday digi_fort! Have a great day and an even better year. Ditch your phone for a while and go party! :p
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
He wanted to try it wirelessly :D
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
Ok great. Just tried the lan mode. I had used it on my previous android phone successfully. But on s2 I'm not able to do it. The scan does not show any result! I tried add it manually but it didn't work. See attachments
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
is your pc's ip address configured manually or set to automatic? if automatic, try setting a manual ip address, and also you have to edit windows group policy to accept "empty passwords" if your pc login account is not using any passwords.

Hi Guys .............. is there a CFC theme for XWKK5 firmware ???? or is there an option which can turn the signal bars green when connected to wifi/ 3G ..........................
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Try KIES air, it is very simple. Ensure your phone and the PC is on the same network. Enable KIES air in the phone, it would prompt a web address i.e. Http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080; type the address provided by KIES air on your web browser. KIES air on the phone will ask for authentication (i.e. I vaguely remember you just need to click on YES when there is a message that <your PC name> is trying to access your phone.

You'll have your phone content on the browser.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Can you ping your system from the phone?

Try with ping and dns app from the market. Using the IP address to ping.

He wants it other way round. Access system files in his phone and not phone files in system. :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
how about seeing the content of pc in phone?:p kies air wont help there.

and also AFAIK it doesnt allows copy/paste files directly from pc.

Esexplorer has the following advantage,

1. can transfer data in both sides easily.

2. can play video files/pictures from pc without the need of buffering.

3. can have shortcuts to various folder locations in your pc.

@harsha

r u using esfileexplorer?

it made my life so easy, not even touching my data cable these days :)
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
Forget pause. entire camera application crashes if i try to take a video on CM9 !!!

right now...no videos for me!!!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
video will not work with cm9 ,its a long standing issue which wont be solved unless there is some source code :)

havent tried it mate, but its not worth trying on those builds as both are early builds. is that pausing thing works on current GB roms?
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
oops, my bad!!

Sorry
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You mean to say something like this?

img835.imageshack.us/img835/9392/72765571.png

How about you take one of the image, then replace your theme screen shot on top of it and see how it comes? Try giving gradient effect to the screen shot layer if its not matching with the panels.

I'm not sure whether you need to ask gadget check permission to use his template lol.

Yes mate, using the same one. Tried Astro file explore first, but it was complicated to add network. Then went to ES file explore and shows me all the system over my LAN network just by trapping scan button. Its such a breeze to use. Being months without using data cable here too.

Lol. I just can't stop laughing :D thank you for the info!

No one has made a mod for the pause thing yet in GB. Someone had opened the thread months ago and its buried deep in the dust. Is it difficult to make a mod to pause? I would have tried but no time for now :)

That's okay lol
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
If it is just transferring files from Phone to PC (download) and vice-versa (Upload) it is possible through KIES air from your PC. But if you want to control your PC / access data of PC from your phone KIES air wnt help.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you are right,lies air wont help to show data in phone. also it wont have access to windows file folders directly, all uploads and downloads has to be done via java applets.
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Exactly, everything has to happen through the Java applet that gets loaded on your browser. Nothing outside of it..
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But the thing is that we will have to sit in front of the computer to do that. While ES fine explore is just you and your phone, that's the feature I liked a lot :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ harsha

ES fine explorer ? ;) when was it released ? :D

@ joe_nalin

nice to see yet another person from chennai :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I think Swype did that lol! Sometimes this key board is damn irritating. Having been making lot of mistakes from past one hour :p

Thanks Buddy.. I'm a regular visitor here, I try not to miss any post here. But since most of the discussion is around rooting, mods, kernels and optimization of the same I do not actively participate.. you know the answer, I'm on Stock ROM, so I'm a silent spectator

You do provide valuable inputs to the guy who come up with any queries on S2..

Wanted to tell you about Amzer screen protector. I got the same for me and one for my colleague who recently got a Note..I actually was not very comfortable with the roughness of the screen protector; the smooth feel is lacking and the worst part is there was a slight delay with the stylus is used on the note.. I felt more pressure is needed after installation of the screen guard..

I got it through fommy.co.in where there is offer for free shipping and same cost of Rs.120

I am unable to flash CF_root KL1 kernel using mobile Odin Pro ... It gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II Screen for a few minutes...

Then I had to reflash the same Kernel from the PC using normal Odin to get it to work ...

Please note that I flashed when my battery was 37%

anyone else faced this issue??
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I am not able to ping my system :( 100% packet loss.

I have even turned off passwords for private networks.

EDIT: after turning off my Comodo antivirus firewall, I could ping the system!

Tried ES file explorer again. The scanning function did not work. But manually adding "192.168.1.2" as server did the trick.

Do you guys also turn off the firewall? Or we could add some kinda exception?
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You're welcome.....Thanks....LOL
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
KL1 is good Modem, many people here using without problem. I think the problem is your Network carrier.
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
You can also try fommy, not sure if you had any bitter experience with them or if the cost is higher than Lootspot. I've not bought anything through loopspot..
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
I guess so. It was running fine till yesterday. Then suddenly there were connection drops. So I thought maybe it was the modem's fault. Is there any better ones out there that I can use?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Try KI3 , but if the problem is with network, none of these modem will help you
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Use KP8, recommended by most :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ radical

assuming you already have a working wifi router.

its nothing special mate all you have to do is install esfilexplorer

1.search for lan.

2. add the ip address of your system and login details(if you login to your pc without a password then u have some more steps).

3.save the shortcuts.

@ digi

nice one. who gifted it to you ;)
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Link to KP8 ? And is it any better than KL1? Are u using it?

Go Launcher Battery Drain

Hey how many of you guys use Go Launcher. I've seen many threads where ppl are saying use ADW instead cuz Go causes major battery drain. How true is this?

@bala:

How do I access the samsung apps store on Criskelo. I don't see it anywhere?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh I would have done for you. But would have taken like two days or so :D

You mean to say you can log in to the computer and see all the drives but can't get past the screen? If that's the case then it might be due to permission errors. How about trying the admin password if you have more that one user accounts?

If you are using windows 7 then you have to take some time removing few of the restrictions from network settings I guess.

Lol you should look into Samsung apps like at least once a month. Some times there will be very nice offers. Go and get your free Tapatalk app and also dead space!

Guys !!!!!! i was about to sell off my Galaxy S2 today fedup of its music quality.

But a miracle happened today !!!!! Im so so so happy.

i tried Player Pro.And the bass is back !!!!!!!!!

Power Amp and Winamp crashed alot and the bass settings in the equilizer were as if they were fake !!!

I recommend Player Pro to everybody.i bet, you'll love it with your in ear headphones !!!

Player Pro Android market link -

click here.

People having problems to go into the equilizer settings of Player Pro,revert back to the older versions and it works absolutely flawlessly.

i love this player and have bought it immediately.This is the only reason by which i was able to recognize the hidden possibilities of this phone.

So happy today :) Buying Sennheiser CX 380 now.My Mugen Power extended 3200mAh battery comes in September as the product is out of stock now.however i have already done the payment.eagerly waiting for it.

Long live Samsung Galaxy S2 !!!!!!!!!

I was on 2G for one and half billing cycle. I mean 1st billing cycle on 2G, 2nd billing cycle used 2G for 2 weeks and changed to 3G. I was told the 3G & 1GB offer would count from the day I activated and not from next month/billing cycle. But I would only get the remaining data usage for the 2nd billing month(Suppose i used 400MB on 2G, I would get only 600MB on 3G for 2nd billing cycle). I can only confirm when my bill gets generated.

I've not yet tested the speed in 3G.

Will post final report once I get my next bill.

[I didn't ask "I have rooted and flashed, will you punish me for this?". I asked "What checks do you do for warranty and Does root/flash void warranty?"]........Dude, this was enough to put them on guard. The Mumbai centre said they'd charge 650 after checking your download count, didn't they!......that's the effect your silly enquiry had. And slowly this information will spread from the Mumbai service centre to other centres in the country too. Just admit you made a mistake, ok? :)

[I think we can safely root our phones. Flashing ROMs might get caught only in bigger cities, but it's nothing that a USB jig can't fix].......Exactly. If you knew this then why did you have to call up every Samsung Service Centre in the country? This is the height of paranoia! :D If you had any doubt, couldn't you just ask anyone here on this thread? Calling up so many service centres just to ask about rooting??? LOL......Man! What were you thinking!

Not that any of this affects me personally.....just pointed out the lack of wisdom in calling up so may Service Centres just to ask about Rooting. You actually ended up EDUCATING THEM about Rooting! :)

Volume Issue of SGS II

Thanks for this useful post. I have also increased the setting to 100 and there is a slight but noticeable change in the volume. I think everyone should raise the level to 100 as there is a definite change due to it.

But I don't share your views on PlayerPro app. It does nothing which PowerAmp can't do. Already tried all volume enhancement apps and fixes. I have all these apps.

Also tried the DSP Manager thingy which was posted elsewhere on this forum, where you have to change the music.apk file. It did nothing either! Absolutely nothing. And could not even revert to the original music.apk file after that. So guys, you can avoid that.

Point to be noted here, everyone is satisfied in different ways with different apps.lol.

For everything else, you are given a 5000 messages limit in your inbox !!!!

Utilize it to interact with whomever u wish to interact.

Not all members here(in some aspects including me) have complete technical knowledge about all this stuff.That said, we all are constantly learning.Some dont even know what is xda-developers !!!

Point i want to make here is, just be technical.You'll find less (unwanted acc. to you)people interacting with you.

We'd love u to share your knowledge here on the forum.

Firmware update?

I also agree with you, ithehappy. I have been reading each n evry message for a few months. It seems Megastar n Goldbergx have some old personal issue. If Megastar does not want to interact with Goldbergx then Goldbergx should show some maturity and go along with that. He should not quote Megastar if Megastar has not addressed him. Thats a simple solution. And we all should be mature enuff to not start meddling in other peoples affairs. Its really great that Jhonny23 n Sajadkhan806 have offered a hand of friendship to Megastar. I think Megastar should accept it. And lets talk about the phone now.
