[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Lol. Yeah, I wasn't ready to pay 650 euros for the phone :P I got it on contract, resigning for a year, and 280 euros. Not bad. If I ever want to, I can debrand and get it as fast as you guys ^^ But I'm not interested in doing that at the moment. Not even rooting! My phone is fantastic. I have no issues apart from the wifi sharing / battery life debacle, but not even your KF1 fixes that at the moment! So I'm good for the time being :) hehe.

I absolutely love this phone. I see near 0 drawbacks (battery life being an exception, but it doesn't bother me TOO much. I get about 24 hours, maybe a little less usage).

Regardless, it's still a very new phone. Hopefully Samsung will being to push out their monthly updates soon. hehe.

Hi

Having major troubles with VPN and a provider has identified from a log this as the problem...

E/pppd : Can't execute /etc/ppp/ip-up-vpn: Exec format error

This is just a text file with the line ip-up-vpn in it and nothing else.

Can anyone solve this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miragebg:
Hello guys,

I decided to go with stock JVP, little O/Ced with Tegrak OC app.

The problem is that in my opinion there is still no existing optimal CPU governor for GB. The default ondemand performs very poor in 3D, conservative- poor in Quadrant's CPU and Memory benchmarks...

Is there any way we can use the Smartass governor with stock GB 2.3.4?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am starting to get a lot of force closes on my phone. I have no clue if it is the phone, the apps or the ROM (SLIDE-Reloaded v1 which is the basics of the original just without the junk ).

I was thinking of getting rid of what I have now and installing CyanogenMOD7. Would this be recommended? I have Recovery: Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1

If so, can I get a brief explination of how to go about the swap. I know I have done this in the past but it has been so long I honestly can't remember.

Cheers!!

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
Its simple, just open rom manager and go to download roms, hit cyanogenmod and download cyanogenmod 7.0.3 w/ the google apps addon (optional), and after it downloads, rom manager should automatically pop up asking if you want to wipe and and backup rom, BACKUP ur rom dude just incase u dnt like CM7 and it saves everything, mssgs and all, just in case. Flash the Rom and ther u go. Other than experimentation with some other roms to support my fellow devs, I hav benn using CM since the 6.1.1 build! I highly recommend it!

-also, it wud be in your best interest to probably flash up to the latest recovery, which is 2.5.0.7 if I'm not mistaken)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
Do I need to download the GAAPS? If so, I am unable to from the site provided on the ROM bible thread.

Backup - check =) First thing I did was to back up SMS' and current ROM

EDIT: It just clicked to me, so I do not need t download the ROM to my computer and then transfer to SD? All I do is run ROM manager and choose a ROM from the list?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
UHHH 0_o i have no idea what you mean by rom bible to be honest, but when you download CM7 from rom manager, it should be a popup on the screen that says addons, then below it is gapps or google apps, whatever its called, you can choose whether to or whether not to download it, but i strongly recommend it because gapps has the Marketplace in it, CM7's actual rom does not come stock with the android market! so download it! :D

-and for the second question yes :) it automatically does that for you!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
WOW that is great! I can't wait!!! I just can't do it right now because Market is giving me a "download unsuccessful" message :confused: I am upgrading the ROM manager to the premium.

All good!

The only thing I cannot figure out is how to get to phone to sync only. I have the HTC Sync program to sync my outlook contacts and calendar and when I plug my phone it used to always sync automatically.

Now I cannot find the feature to choose the option of sync via usb... any ideas?

Solution: Download and install Myphone Explorer on both the phone and computer. once installed on the computer go to File > Settings > Sync and choose from the options on the right VOILA!!

What are the DSP Manager and spare parts for exactly?

Last question, I installed Launcher Pro but I have a feeling this rom comes already with it. is that so (I don't have the icon on the apps list)?

Ok so not exactly last question... how do I get swype?

And why is there an H underneath the little arrows up at the top?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cramill:
To get Swype: just sign up for the Swype Beta on their website: http://swypeinc.com/

I believe the 'H' is for HSPA+. The Slide is not technically a HSPA+ phone, but it does get faster speeds from the "4G" HSPA+ towers. (You should see faster speeds when the H is on top vs when there's 3G at the top)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
Cramill thanks for answering my questions! =)

I am still in doubt about the LauncherPro not appearing in my apps and when i go to the markewt the option to "open" is greyed. This just happened with another app I just downloaded "advanced clock widget"

On a semi seperate note, where can I download this app (image)? I can't seem to find it on app market (the app avail is what seems to be a fony). I had this same app on my sense rom and love it cuz it has the alarm, world clock, timer, weather, etc options.

THANKS for helping in advance =)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzi0719:
I believe that is the Sense clock applet and you'll only get that on a Sense ROM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
what about these apps being greyed out out and not appearing on the app list?

All to strange... I rarely had do many issues with my previous ROM and since I installed CM7 it seems that there are all sorts of little things here and there popping up... Is this normal?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzi0719:
I can only relate my own experiences, I know there are many using CM7 and love it, but for me I just couldn't accept the limitations and bugs it presented on my phone. I'm using a rooted version of the "official" Froyo 2.2.1 ROM (espresso_signed_040511_005057.zip) which still has HBOOT 0.52 and using DarkTremor's a2sd moving apps and cache to an ext3 partition. This combination gets me loads of free memory for apps, has all the nice Sense UI enhancements, is stable and pretty snappy (I am using a Class 10 sd card).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
I have to agree, CM ROMS have their audience. I am not sure why it is but I like sense roms better.

I ended up reinstalling CM7 and that fixed the problem with no sound when receiving text. The problem now as many others (so I have read) is my Wi-fi not connecting.

I am going to leave CM7 for a few more days and see if the love comes around, if not, I am going back to a sense rom =/

Fuzi is the rom you have installed on your phone located in the list of Roms in Rom Manager or did you manually instal?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzi0719:
It isn't listed in Rom Manager, I downloaded it from a post here on XDA that I can't find now. I can send it to you if you PM me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
I had the wifi issue in the very beginning, turns out, it is a rare bug that happens often accidentally, the wifi is not a permenant issue, simply backup once more, and then reflash! Easy as pie! Also, CM does NOT use Launcher Pro. It uses ADW Launcher to give the phone the gingerbread look. Launcher pro incorporates both Sense and Gingerbread and is far more advanced! Other than that like I said for me CM is one of the greatest Roms I have ever laid eyes on. However it is in your best interest to use LauncherPro if you want the freedom of CM w/o havin to flash a 2.2 Rom. I recommend the Plus version of LP as it has the Sense widgets, etc. Good luck and jus to let you know I hav absolutely no probs w/ CM as of my latest installation (CM 7.0.3).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
That is weird that after flashing the new one the problem goes away because I install the daily update and still doesn't work. I have yesterday update which was #106 and the Wifi still doesn't work

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweaver33:
It's not as simple as just "Exchange 2010 compliant". It depends on what specific Exchange policies have been configured on your company's Exchange server. The server can even be configured to only accept specific phone models regardless of advertised policies (presumably to weed out phones that lie about their capabilities). If your IT department is locking down their Exchange servers, they really ought to publish which policies are required.

I can connect to my Exchange server with the stock Mail app and the Agenda widget pulls in my Exchange, Google, and Facebook calendars.

Hi I have to following problem and can't find the answer with google.

I have routed my AC100.

sudo adb shell
$
su
#

so I believe the AC100 is rooted

next

#mount
/dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /system ext2 ro,relatime 0 0

therefore I did

mount -o remount,rw -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /system
mount
/dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /system ext2 rw,relatime 0 0

so I think the disk has been successfully re-mounted in re-write mode.

however whenever I do something like

sudo ./adb pish com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions

I get

Permission denied

I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right directions.

Many thanks

[G2 and Desire Z General] misfit61871:
so I just upgraded my internet service today and I started running tests with speedtest.net with the expectation to see slightly faster speeds in the range of 7-15 Mbps. Boy was I wrong! I'm getting between 20-30 down, averaging around 25.

Now, I decide to test my phone, same wifi and speed test.net app and I barely even see a change in speeds, why is that? I was getting around 4.5 down average. I had one test jump to 6.8 and averaged 5 with the inter net upgrade.

I don't get it?

i can't understand how the senstaion and the galaxy s2 so similar in there hardware

and in the benchmarks the sensation is so far away from the galaxy s2

it's driving me crazy....somebody know why it's like that???

another question is after reading lot's on this phones i couldn't know which one as better battery life???

thanks
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Sense 3.0 and the qHD screen are the main answers. Once we get CM7 on both devices, I'm sure they'll be evenly matched.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
welcome noob,

its because touch wiz is simple and sh*t and sense is a complete new interface so its doing more things in the background

also sensation has much more pixels to push through than the galaxy s2, and at the moment sense containts bloatware which we dont want. when the bootloader is unlocked and rooted, we will be able to install custom roms which are much faster.
[HTC Sensation] chchang1:
The Galaxy S2 uses the tegra 2, the sensation uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon msm8260.

^ the main difference^

Tegra 1.x years old already, so it's more mature, and it's starting to get support.

On the other hand the MSM8260 is a newbie..which needs some polishing.

Though, don't trust benchmarks...they mean nothing.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
its true, benchmarks are just a wase of time,

you dont go round benchmarking 2 brand new cars, crag racing them and rallying them to see which one handles and drives the best!
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Does anyone know if the sensation comes with a super lcd screen or just a regular tft screen?
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
SGS2 doesn't use tegra 2. It uses Samsungs exynos CPU/GPU. OP, one of the main reasons why quadrant gives the Sensation such low scores is due to the I/O score which reads and writes to the internal storage. The Sensation uses a slower format than the SGS2, and also most likely uses slower nand than samsungs (remember samsung makes nand, maybe an edge up). SGS2 uses EXT4. The second part of the low score is due to the Sensation having a higher res screen which means it's working harder to fill the screen. The third reason is that the snapdragon they're using is dual core, but it's based off of arm8 whereas the SGS2 exynos is based off of arm9. Newer tech usually has the upper hand. I'm sure an update will come out to help smooth out the lag in the OS. And I agree about not trusting benchmarks. Trust the experience, not a bunch of numbers.

is the slcd screen is killing battery or exactly opposite?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
The stuff you say about the snapdragon is based of arm8 is wrong , as its a completely new arcitecture, it has loads of new functions that the old arm8 doesn't have. Can't remember where i read it, but its true :)
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
Believe it's based on the arm8, but HIGHLY modified by Qualcom.. That's what gsmarena wrote at least :)
[HTC Sensation] jaws5656:
If it's highly modified, could we say it's equal or near power to arm cortex 9? Or synthetic benchmarks are right on snapdragon don't have equal power to arm 9?
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:

[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
All,

Almost two weeks ago on Fri. I received my Revolution. purchased from VZW on line.

Over all I like it, but there are a few IMO major issues that make me think of returning it and getting a Droid Charge.

The first and most troubling is that fact that even though I'm in a 4G area I have some apps that can not connect via 4g or even 3G. They need Wifi to connect even though they are supposed to use any connection.

I tried several of these on the TB and Charge in the VZW store. and they failed on the TB, but the Charge ran them no problem. I plan on trying them again tonight on the TB and Charge to see if the original results have changed.

Now my major issues with the Charge are the form factor/build and the hard buttons. as well as the UI (which can be changed).

I hate having to pay for 4G that only works on occasion.

Verizon doesn't care about any apps, they said if I have a 4G signal and can make and receive calls then there is nothing wrong. I have not called LG about this.

I have rooted the Revolution and understand that the Charge can be rooted as well.

I've heard that Gingerbread is coming to the LG sometime next month, but have no idea if that will fix the connectivity issues.

Given these facts does anyone have any suggestions/opinions about keeping the Revolution or Paying the $35 and getting a Charge?
[LG Revolution] no more blinking:
I had the Revolution for 14 days and just exchanged it for a Charge today. I did a lot of research to select the Revolution over the Charge and TB however there were a few pain points that I couldn't get over:

1. The phone would shut itself off randomly (twice). A friend who has the Revo has the same problem.

2. One day the screen blacked out. I continued to receive calls but the screen wouldn't turn back on. I removed the battery, restarted the phone, then when it loaded back up, it shut down completely. Turning it on again seemed to fix whatever the issue was.

3. Sometimes phone calls would ring for ~6 seconds while the screen remained black, attempting to load the call screen so I could answer.

4. When ending a call, I consistently had to wait ~2-4 seconds before the End button would actually end the call. This was annoying, especially when I got someone's voicemail and wanted to end the call.

5. Grabbing a connection whether 3g or 4g seemed to be MUCH slower then my Droid X.

I'm happy so far -- my Revo pulled 7-8mbps down and 3-4 up where the Charge is getting 13-14mbps down and 4-5 up from the exact same location in my house. Also with ADW launcher, the "lagginess" of the Charge stock UI has gone away.

I too didn't get the Charge initially because of the form but with a body glove case on it I don't mind it at all.

It's a tough call... none of these 4g phones seem to be perfect so it's really up to you if you can live with the downfalls you currently have. There's no saying moving to a new 4g phone will fix your issues... but maybe it will!
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
The design kept me away from it. Petty, I know, but the thing looks like a turd.

I mean, seriously?

If they had forgone the logo at the bottom and squared it off shorter, I might have kind of liked it, but that color as well... what is it, a dark brown too?
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I have had my LG for just over a week. I like it quite a bit. A lot of the guys here seem to be working pretty fast to get some working roms.

What bugs me:

Redundancies. If I get an email, I get the What's New app, and review the email. The email notification stays on the status bar, until I go to the email app directly, and review the email.

Emails. I am not getting them through the stock email. It will not connect to the "server" I don't know what issue it's having. I downloaded Yahoo Mail, and it works fine.

4G. Nice, but it is a battery killer. I switched to CDMA only, and it's fine, until I want to use Google Nav and it takes forever to load. A switch option, without having to reboot, would be nice.

Bing. **** you Microsoft.

Google. Google doesn't work properly. Google search will work peachy for the voice requests, but I can not type into the search.

Likes: I was on US Cellular before this, and sadly, they don't have 3G here. There is hope out there, that Verizon will buy US Cellular in the near future.

4G. Blink, it's done.

Smooth. The design is nice, the programming is smooth, and responsive.

Quality. Overall quality of the the phone is nice. I moved from the HTC Desire which had a cheap feel. The UI was nice, but this one isn't bad, just takes some getting used to.

Customization. Thanks to everyone here (a donation is on the way soon (my wife has to approve it, lol)) there is cool stuff in the works for the LG.

If you have an issue with your phone, I would turn it in for a replacement, and skip getting the Samsung Charge.
