By disassembly my GALAXY S2 DESKTOP DOCKING, I found no data cable link from usb front to back usb only vcc and gnd linked. The 2 data cables (D-,D+) were used as the audio line in docking mode. A small resistor 365K jump between pin 1 VCC and pin 4 sense use to activate the dock.

Check this link may help: ( sorry the page written in Thai )

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigaro78:
Hi, so a long press on 'home' brings the last 6 apps used. It's so basic it's sad. Is there a way to replace this with a better task switcher? Yes I know how Android manages RAM. I do not want a task killer, but a task switcher that replaces the existing one.

Does that exist? Thank you!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troed:
Task Manager ? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigaro78:
Ok obviously this is frustrating, I think my question has merit and I get the rolling eyes smileys.

Yes I have searched the market. From the ones I tried (must have tried 5 or 6 of them) *not one* of these apps replaces the 'hold home for 2 seconds' behaviour. Not one.

Further more, a lot of them *do not work* on the SGS2. Perfect task switcher fails to render the screenshots for example, other freeze, other are plain broken - displaying all running processes including 'android system'.

What I'm looking for is something that replaces the 2 sec long press and display the most recent used apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Maybe try quickdesk.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boal:
LauncherPro has such a feature. You can set one of the dock buttons to "recent apps" and it'll fill your entire screen with your recent apps, not just 6.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peelypeel:
So, the worst happened. My one year old (OLED) Desire got pile-drived hard into the concrete. Needless to say the screen smashed (the panel itself, not the covering glass/plastic) and now it wont respond to power on or charging. I know my chances of HTC repair are very small, so what can I do myself? There are a few "for spares" kicking around on eBay, is it possible I could just swap the screens out and it'll work?

I'm pretty desperate right now, can anyone give any advice? please? :(

And before the haters hate with "you shouldn't have dropped it", id like to point out it wasn't my fault.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superste2201:
Hmm swapping out the screen is quite easy IIRC you just need to make sure you get if from a OLED not AMOLED desire (although I remember reading a thread about swapping them so you could go AMOLED if you find the thread).

However you also say if doesn't power on or respond? This is worrying, fixing a screen is one thing but this.... Have you tried ringing it after turning it on just to confirm it does not turn on?

Good luck anyway, hope you can get if fixed for minimum cost!

EDIT: Here's that thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768535
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peelypeel:
Thanks for that. No I haven't tried ringing it, but surely no vibrate + no LED + no screen output means its really not powering on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rageypeep:
if the screen is smashed then its going to be hard to see if its booting any thing, as for no vibrate that might mean one of the motors for the vibrate has been knocked out of its place and jammed so it cant vibrate. I must admit if it was that bad of a drop then dont hold much hope for it :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peelypeel:
Yeah, calling does nothing. It really is dead isn't it :( Anything likely the cause? like the phone purposely wont boot if a specific part is broken, or is like the mobo probably dead?

I recently dropped my Evo and destroyed the screen. At the time I just had the extended battery and a zagg. While waiting for my new LCD and digitizer I picked up the siedio convert package ($50). Belt clip, screen protector, 2 in 1 case. I must say that this has now became a beastly looking piece of hardware. But all that aside it is amazing. I have purposely dropped it on 3 different occasions from varying heights of 1-3 ft on concrete to hardwood. It is by far a fantastic investment. I am a contractor for an air force base and am constantly on the move throughout this locations. Although it IS too much for my pocket now, the belt clip works well. My Evo is rooted, class 10 card, Ava z3 (for now but a perfect froyo Rom) and netarchy kernel. W the battery and my personal mods I see 30+ hours on 3g and medium to heavy use. At any rate it lasts all day on heavy use coming off a charger @ 630 and back on @ 2200. This combo for me has been nothing short of perfection. I just wanted to post up and say...

Siedio 4.5 - 5 stars for me!

Trim the sides of the convert so I can reach the 1 and the 0 better on my phone and a better belt clip design and its 5 all the way!

Hello Im a new member of XDA and currently reading a lot of threads in the forums and they are really helpful.

I have recently rooted and flashed Cm7 to my Nexus S to mess around with it and see if i like it or not.

I like the extra features but however i cannot stand the launcher UI. I dont mind thats its the stock look but the icons on the dock settings on CM7 is not my taste.

I came across the Matteblue Theme by jabbawalkee and its beautiful.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768848

However im not very experainced and i do not know how to apply this theme.

I have downloaded the icon pack and the fonts but i unzipped the icon pack but Launcher Pro or ADW launcher doesnt recognize it in my phones SD memory.

Can someone help me how to apply this theme and flash the fonts.

Also i love the look of the stock dock in jabbawalkee cm screent shots and i do realized its from cm6? is there anyway in cm7 to make it look like the stock dock?

Thank
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sagarpruthi:
just download the right version of the theme for cm7. go into recovery and flash (install zip from sd card) it on top of the ROM that u've flashed. Just reboot and it'll be done. U'll have the theme running on your phone.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] UncleStalin:
I cant seem to find the downloads? Only the " Other Downloads" that contain the fonts and icon packs.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sagarpruthi:
i think he must've removed the DL as he must be coming up with the new version. just post in that thread for the download link. someone will mirror it for you. i don't use cm7 so i don't have the theme otherwise i would've uploaded it for u. i have infinity version of the theme though, if you are interested in that?

I need a download link to matts blue. I will try out the infinity version also.

Is Infinity a better Rom?? Ive been reading and lot of people recomended CM7 and so far i like it, nice and stable and speedy.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobamaflyer:
I've searched for half and hour and looked through XDA's suggested topics before, so I apologize if this is a beaten dead horse.

I've had a problem for a while, I believe when my phone (CDMA HTC Hero) was stock, then through Fresh, CM6 and now CM7 2.3.3. at least 50% of the time I try to answer an incoming call it immediately "boops" at me and hangs up. Additionally, at least 50% of the time I have to send/dial a number more than once for it to connect. It will ring, click off a few seconds and "boop", hang up. Often the person on the other end will tell me their's rang once but when they picked up I wasn't there.

Now adding to this oddness, unless I go through a tunnel I almost never drop a call once it's active. Adding more wierdness, I found out my sister who also has a CDMA HTC Hero (rooted so I could add wireless tether but otherwise still on Sprint's 2.1 stock) experiences the same sort of conditions.

Is there something I can solve here or is it just an anomaly I continue to live with for another couple months till I upgrade? Thanks to this forum and the developers I've managed to remain happy w/ my phone for 2 years because I get to make it "new to me" every couple months (more and more often, it's addictive) but I feel it's showing it's age and I'm ready to upgrade.

Thanks, Travis

.....a search tells me the PRL is my phone's list of local towers?...... I haven't intentionally done this ever. Do I need to somehow flash back to a stock ROM (avail. in here?) and then restore my current after I "update PRL" or has 2.3.3 added this feature and I'm just missing it.

but does gingerbreak give temp root? if it does, a root method should be easy enough to create.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
If you're S off dude, as the other guys told ya, all you need to do is flash a recovery image. Once you flash recovery, you can then flash a rom of your choice. You don't need to wait for anything. as fast as you can download the recovery image is as long as you need to wait! Put a PC36IMG of Amon RA 2.3 on your sd card, then boot to the bootloader. Accept the update. Then choose to boot to recovery. Good luck

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There really is not speed requirement in the 4G standard anymore. The ITU caved to the carriers and ruled in December that any of the evolved 3G technologies can be considered 4G as long as:

"a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#ITU_Requirements_and_4G_wireless_standards

Pretty much BS, but basically as long as the network is better than 3G, it can be considered 4G. Surprising that supposedly knowledgeable sources like PCMag are getting this wrong. Saying the Sensation is "not 4G" is simply wrong by the current standard.

Also surprising that the Sensation does not support data speeds higher than 14.4 Mbps. I thought this new generation of Snapdragon (dual core, >1GHz) is supposed to support higher download speeds? 14.4 Mbps is the same cap we have on our Visions.

Haha... I didn't even know that was an official ruling! Funny. I always thought the 4G marketing from ALL the carriers was hilarious. WE have REAL 4G! No.. WE do..! No.. etc, etc... When I heard that "real" 4G was a theoretical peak of 100 Mbps, I laughed even harder. The way I always "defined" 4G for people is "it's faster than the old network". Who cares if its HSPA+ or LTE or WiMax or UltraHyperYAY! technology, if it's faster than what we had before... well I guess that's 4G. As good an answer as we are likely to get. I'm getting about 7 Mbps since T-Mo "upped" their HSPA+ network, and I can't complain about speeds like that. I don't care if it's 3G, 4G, 5G.... meh. It's fast. I like.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GuestK00231:
It seems alot of people are getting confused with rooting of the phones, and what they need to do, and it mostly seems like people from other phones, and well the obviously new person. I just want to help with his, as some of the threads are getting and I can see it being tough to follow a 40 page thread.

It seems to me alot of the confusion seems to come from the fact of the lack of locked bootloader, along with using ODIN to flash. I'm quessing everyone from HTC phones is used to a multi step process in regards to flashing root, as you have to load a hacked bootloader, turn soff etc.

If you have a stock ed2 charge. All you need to do is run jt's root/voodoo/cwm kernel found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092114

ffd173 in post 108 has some nice instructions on it. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14080378&postcount=108

The stock rooted roms you are seeing are (root stock ed1, root stock ed2) you can consider a rooted basic backup. Do not use CWM either the one from jt's kernel, or rom manager for backup and restore until a recongized dev says its okay. Use titanium backup for your backups and restores. It has been recommended a few times to not even touch ROM Manager yet, based on the way it is written to work vs what is here and how it is written

***one thing to note is that if you install a kernel using the voodoo lag fix, you must disable it prior to flashing back to any sort of stock based kernal/rom or any non kernel with the lag fix.

I am semi new with this as well coming from HTC phones, and only having this for this being my 3rd day. If I missed something in here or made a mistake please let me know and I can adjust and maintain this....havent had much sleep for a while and its getting to me :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] jvasholz:
***one thing to note is that the kernel has now the voodoo lag fix such as these stock roms, you have to disable to voodoo lag fix.
