[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0hannn:
Hello,

I'd like to ask few important questions(for me) about the device GalaxyS2.

1. Does this device able to work in Canada(all networks[or at least most of them]) and in europe?( I mean same device, use it in Europe and then switch SIM and use it in Canada) Did anyone try that?

2.Is there someone form Canada (by chance from SK?)that has this device and can share some info with me?

3. Does it worth buying? I see that many people have issues with that device ,like, heating when its on lock and short battery life?(maybe there is solutions...)

4. Maybe shall I wait more, for other devices?(I have seen that HTC-Sensation is pretty good but not as GS2)? (By the way I'm planning to order it in the end of July or August).

Thanks in advance!!!!

[Sorry if the English is bad]
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pHyR3:
1) I'm pretty sure it will work in Canada as its quad-band which is pretty much everything, works great for me in australia

3)It is DEFINITELY worth buying, the overheating is hardly a problem, only if you are gaming heavily for 1hr+ on 1.2ghZ or more, also it is pretty much eliminated with undervolting which is the same for the battery problem. Also, the new firmwares have pretty much gotten rid of battery issues for the most part, try litening rom 1.5

4) Definitely not, sensation doesnt compare to the SGS2 and neither will the iphone 5 as it will run A5 (1ghz dual core)

New phones will come out probably early next year and will be more like 1.5-2ghz dual core, cant wait :D

[General Questions and Answers] maneesh2312:
Hi,

This is my first post in this forum though I've been silently learning all from here since 2 years now. To put it simple and straight forward my question is:

I've been using HTC Touch HD (not HD2) since 2 years now but suddenly got bored of it when my brother got Samsung Galaxy S2 for himself a week back. Now I just want to change my OS from Windows Mobile 6.5 to Android 2.3 (or any other supported Android version if not 2.3) on my HTC Touch HD (not HD2).

Please help me if I can do it or not. If yes then How to do it, where to download stuffs and links and all....

Looking forward for some of the Senior members reply but any sort of help from anybody will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

i can't see an option to though. would prefer an pure android type of unlock method (with a custom wallpaper though). can i do this without rooting? want to leave that for a week or 2 to get used to the phone 1st

[Galaxy S II General] BlackLine:
And look for what? I cant find anything useful, like stock lockscreen.

Anyway, i think you need an update.zip for things like that.
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
i searched for " lock screen " and found something useful

lock screen

just use google there are endless possibilities

click here

there is even a video WOW
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
i do have 'goto my lockscreen' or whatever it's called but a lot of these alternate apps have a major problem (or 2) in that they interfere with bluetooth and wake up on any button press.

that's not really useful

[Galaxy S II General] hrking2000:
I use 'ripple lock' which is a honeycomb'esqe unlock screen.

It is good but relatively new so there is room for improvement. however, the developer updates it regularly!
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
just did. very nice but wakes up on any button press :(

havent tested if it causes bluetooth problems yet but will do later on - off to see green lantern in a bit :D
[Galaxy S II General] darkalchemist:
Widgetlocker is very configureable and you can tell it to stop waking on certain button presses. I am currently using it here and it is pretty awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Edite widget locker settings, if i'm not mistaking you can disable hardware buttons unlock :)
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
ta, but i already unticked everything i could under buttons and inputs but vol down e.g brings the unlock screen up when it should do nothing :(

think it's a limitation of android and can't really 'replace' the real lockscreen as such. maybe a version that requires root will do it, who knows.

at the very least this will cause battery rundown.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
You are right. I missed your point. I was talking about unlocking. Device wakes up when you press the hardware buttons, but will not unlock with the settings i was talking about.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxlikquidxx:
Help. First of all, my power button doesnt work so i use the USB cable trick to turn it on every time. The problem is myy phone is having a boot loop after i did some font change. I want to do a full wipe but the power button is dead so i cannot access the recovery menu from fastboot.

ADB command is not working with the phone.. Anyone know any other way?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxlikquidxx:
nevermind, figured out the solution, if anyone need help do this:

- boot to fastboot (Hold trackball when phone powering on via USB)

- Place a copy of your recovery image in your sdk tools folder, connect via fastboot and type:

fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img

(use the real name of your recovery image)

- phone will restart in recovery mode. Run wipe :)

I want to Sync multiple Outlook Calendars from different PCs to my mobile, without the help of gmail or exchange. I tried Funambol but it only lets me add one account to my device :( Is it really that strange, what I want to do?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Polrov:
Just tried it, but it seems that it doesn't use seperate calendars!? If I sync all my Calenders, I just merge all of them into one, which I want to avoid. Android has support for multiple calendars, Outlook also has so there must be a way without installing a server OS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
Sry, wasn't clear in the first post for me, that you don't want to merge them.

not sure, if Android support really multiple Calenders.

I think you have to add for each calender an account in settings->accounts and sync and get the data from that adress.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Polrov:
That was my plan, but it won't let me add aditional Funambol Accounts (that's what I use to sync atm). I know it works with multiple Google or Exchange Accounts. But I want my PIM Data to stay on my Hardware, nowhere else.

Thanks, anyway, btw :D

Hi all play owners,

I am a prospective PLAY owner, evaluating certain features. One of the feature that I use quite often is to listen music.

Please provide your feedback on the audio quality for the purpose of listening music using headphones on xperia play.

Thanks,

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
The better the headphones the better the quality, im using quite an expensive pair of sony hedphones and sound quality is excellent.
[Xperia Play General] linkrinf:
actually, i was referring to gsmarena review which scared me off when they mentioned this

Quote:

The only problem we had with it is the stereo crosstalk, which spikes intensly when you plug in a pair of headphones. The distortion levels increase too in that scenario, but they still remain tolerable.

btw, which sony headset do you have?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
i havent noticed any distortion, bear in mind though i usually use my headphones with a BT receiver not plugged directly into the device, i have these headphones btw :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] capo31:
Is anyone using the GB rom getting FCs of the systemui while trying to connect to bluetooth in the status bar pull down on the power control panel?

It only FCs when I press bluetooth. Wifi, GPS etc. buttons all work. I can go in settings and turn bluetooth on and even turn it off using the power control panel but I cant turn it on that way. Weird I think
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
I was using bluetooth all day with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] capo31:
I can use it I just cant connect through the power control panel on the status bar pull dwn it FCs and the status bar goes away
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
****. It is FCing. It wasn't like that before rooting though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] capo31:
Well I started over flashed again. I checked before I rooted again and it FCs still
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Weird. It didn't FC for me before rooting. I'm just gonna use Power Widget for now then. Seems to toggle bluetooth with on FC.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
There are a few other bugs popping up. We should be keeping track of them and testing functions to find more. My guess is KF1 is a leak of a beta gb rom meant for testing. But hey its not that bad and we may be able to fix some of these issues. The official ota gb release is still probably a long way off so this leak is all we have to work with for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
It's not the only issue. There's also Call Logs, calls being made out aren't listen. Only calls recieved. Changing notification sound doesn't change for text messages but when you receive an email or a different message system like Kik it will be the notification sound you selected.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
ya had the same issue with teh call logs also have issues with the alarm clock actually not working sometimes. Seems also theres a memory leak in the gb rom also not 100 percent sure about that but even with just booting the phone and letting it idle it uses up all but 80 mb of system memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] capo31:
Yeah call logs, BT FCs and not to mention tapatalk wont load for me! What next?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iced_tea:
Hi everyone,

This is not a battery life problem. I've read the battery threads and could not find someone with a similar problem.

My problem: I left my phone locked and untouched while I went shower. Afterwards I decided to check my phone but it did not respond. I tried to turn it on but that failed too. The screen stayed black as if it was off. I ended up taking the battery out, putting it back in and turning the phone on.

The phone did turn on but my battery temperature was 45°C and 48%. My battery was 75% before I went shower. I checked the battery status page and here's what it showed. Notice the vertical drop in battery at the end of the graph.

After a few minutes since restarting:

The android os % also has never been this high before. I've also never experienced any battery problems mentioned in other threads. I use my phone quite often so display is always at the top. This is the first problem I've encountered with my SGS2 which had made me quite sad since it's less than 3 weeks old.

Thanks for reading and would really appreciate any input.
[Streak 5 General] nameyourflav:
My original Streak was 1.6 which I was able to move to the official version of Froyo easily with QDL tool. I recently sent it in and received a replacement that had AT&T's crippled 2.2 on it. I really liked the official. Stage was better and I had hotspot and tethering. Now I don't. I have looked for a way to get the 00 base band from 31 while already at froyo but haven't found a clear answer how to do it. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Most stock ROMs available at the Streak section of the XDA wiki.

I would suggest that you try baseband 351 for a stock ROM. The Streak links in my signature might be useful.

[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
If the replacement Streak was shipped to you with Android 2.2 you do not have to revert to Android 1.6 to install any of the Android 2.x roms.

You can install a 00 ROM on a locked phone. It will not unlock the phone from your carrier, but it will have the features of the unlocked ROM. If the phone you have is carrier locked you will have to unlock it to use another carrier's SIM. I don't have any experience with carrier unlocking, I bought my Streak unlocked direct from Dell.

nameyourflav, what carrier are you with?

So I saw all of the previews from HTC for this phone, most notably the ones advertised here - http://www.htc.com/europe/htcsense/index.html

When using my phone today (first day with the new one), I noticed that when I received a call while using navigation, it filled the whole screen and didn't pop up below my nav as that preview shows. Does anyone know why this is?

Did you use google navigation or locations navigation?

Because the calling thing should work only on the navigation on the locations app

[General Questions and Answers] Super.James:
Hallo,

first of all I did a really dumb thing. I did the following:

My brother got a Xperia Play and someone did all kind of things with it to make it play games. Now the device had some kind of unlocking-system where you have to follow some kind of pattern... I wanted to sync his contacts with outlook so I took it when he was asleep before he will go to work and I thought I knew his pattern... What I didn`t know was that he changed since the last time. So because I didn`t know how many times you can try it I actually managed to do it 20 times without succeeding...

Now the phone asks for the question and somehow he things it is a word but that doesn`t seem to work as well.

I`m really desperate right know, since all we can do is to enter the question, which the answer to we don`t know...

Is there any other way to unlock it or a way to change the word?

Much appreciated if someone could help me.... :(

(I also hope I`m not in the wrong forum-section...)

EDIT: Updating the software or Reseting the whole phone via the Update_Service_Setup-2.11.6.12 doesn`t work as well....

EDIT2: OK, I now did the restoring update again and now it worked...

[Captivate General] herschen:
I followed the following instructions on the serendipity website but after going through steps 1-12, I ended up with an unrooted Samsung GT-I9000 2.3.3 which cannot be rooted with SuperOneClick 1.9.5 (using both GingerBreak and psneuter). Since the last portion of the installation requires CWM Recovery, I think this might not work.

I am pretty sure that somebody is going to scold me for posting this thread with the answer right in front of me; I swear that I tried looking for somebody who had this same problem, but couldn't find anything remotely close.

On a side note, this phone is a Samsung Captivate. When I did the first instance of Odin, I pressed volume up and down at the same time to get into download mode. When I did it the second time (after it had been upgraded to the GT-I9000), I had to press power and down volume to get to Download, so I'm pretty sure the version of phone has changed.

I don't know what I did wrong in the instructions; I would have posted this to this thread, but xda-developers won't let me post to the developer section. I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem. Please help. Thank you. (This is non-vital, the phone still works and I'm able to send/receive calls, but for some reason the home button doesn't work. I can live without that for a few days)

Installation:

1. Download this package.

2. Open Odin3 1.7.

3. Select the PDA, PHONE, CSC, and PIT files in their correct spots.

4. Connect phone in download mode. Use a USB port that's on your motherboard (the ones on the back of the computer). Use the Samsung USB cable.

5. Ensure that Auto-reboot and Re-Partition are both checked. These have a tendency to change after plugging the phone in, so double check them.

6. This is where the bootloader will be flashed, along with stock Gingerbread. Hit Start.

7. Allow the phone to boot.

8. Close Odin3, and open a fresh one. Select Reorient_Kernel_1.1 in the PDA box.

9. Reboot into download mode (adb reboot download, or hold Vol Down + Power).

10. Plug the phone into the computer.

11. MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS NOT CHECKED. If it is, you'll soft-brick and have to start over.

12. Flash the kernel (hit start). Allow the phone to reboot.

~IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY ON A SAMSUNG-BASED GINGERBREAD ROM WITH BOOTLOADERS (NOT CM or MIUI), START HERE~

13. Place the ROM .zip (You know, the one you downloaded from the giant link up there) onto the SD Card.

14. Reboot into Recovery (adb reboot recovery, or Vol Up + Power).

15. Flash ROM with CWM.

16. Enjoy!

Note, you will get some popup at start about not having network time. Just hit cancel and pretend it never popped up.
[Captivate General] CremeFraiche:
if u did step 11 and 12 you should have the reoriented kernel installed and hold vol up+power to get into cwm recovery mode and choose install from zip option, choose the zip which should be on ur sd card before. then u can flash S7 .zip and wham ban thank you ma'am u got it done

I'm sure mp4/.h264 is the proper codec, but in terms of frame rate/resolution, any tips? can you make it higher than 1280x800 so it scales down?

[HTC Sensation] mwie:
What are the steps you take to play the music on the M100R?

In the HTC player you can choose which output device you want to use...

In Standard it is "HTC Sensation" - click on it when headset is connected and it should showup there...

M100R is capable of "Headset V1.1 (HSP)" bluetooth profile - so it should work...

Oh yes I found it! When playing music you hit menu, then go to select player and it will show you devices. Problem now is that when I select the bluetooth device nothing happens. I will select the device, click done, and then if I go back into that setting the phone is still selected. Not sure why its not letting me output through bluetooth :-/
[HTC Sensation] mwie:
Check the Bluetooth settings when connected - maybe you need to activate Audio streaming there...!?
