People who ever was wandering about using only 2G or only 3G network over 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 should use this.. or usage of application , battery history

in your dial pad type this *#*#4636#*#*

menu will show up which is testing menu for phone

for choosing between 2G/3G goto phone information > set preferred network type

if you want to use 2G network select GSM only

if you want to use 3G network select WCDMA only ..

also you can get battery information , battery history , usage statistics of your applications ..:D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetaurusbull:
Sorry if these questions have already asked.

1. when I start the camera app or flashlight app, there is a slight sound in the camera lens area, is this normal?

2. I used to have samsung wave, the earphones provided with it is not woking with galaxy s2. the same goes with nokia earphones. but both works with galaxy s., what might be the problem?

3. the stock music player is good but it lacks bass., i have tried many apps to boost the bass but I am not satisfied., do u guys have suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
3. Power Amp
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetaurusbull:
thanks for the replies,

I have used power amp., its good, but i think the stock earphone is not that good.

how does soundmagic pl 30 or pl21 compare to the stock?

i am looking for good and rich bass.

suggest me some nice ones (not so expensive)

I know this is not the section to ask questions about earphones but still couldnt resist.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxell:
I noticed a strange thing with my phone this week after charging the battery: Yesterday, I charged the battery fully and then used the phone for about 12 hours before I switched it off for the night. Today I started it and had it on for about seven hours. When I check battery usage, it showed only the current seven hours. It appears to have "forgotten" that it had been running throughout 12 hours yesterday.

I switched it off for about an hour today and started it up again to test and now the seven hours are there and it behaves normally. This I have noticed the last two times I charged the battery. The phone "forgets" the first post-charge use but goes on to work perfectly after that. I do not experience this as an issue directly because I think the battery life is very good and the phone works without problems, but I'm curious. Are there any of you Galaxy SII owners who noticed the same thing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I find stock player +stock earphones excellent .

I am using Sennheiser CX 400 II, I think they are pretty good for the price (of course there are better). Using Power Amp bass and treble.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetaurusbull:
when i plug in my stock earphones and press the menu and navigate (using launcher pro) there is a digital noise in each operation (ex scroll through menu makes a noise also returning to home page makes a noise)

is it the problem with firmware or phone? or is it completely normal?

however these are not audible when the music is playing at the background.

baseband version i9100ddke2 and build number is wxke8.

Sorry for asking so many questions, I am new to android.

Hope u guys dont mind., thanks in advance.

As long as you don't go with something like "OH GOD HELP MY PHONE WILL DIE!!!!How do I use the camera?PLEASE HELP!" no,we don't mind.You're cool till now. ;)

Well,that is probably something with the magnetic shielding of the phone or the earphones.Are you holding the phone too close to the earphones?Electromagnetic waves affect the operation of speakers' magnets.Maybe try a different pair of earphones.

I would suggest AKG.They have some nice cheap models(Less than 10 euros) which are actually pretty good.I use a pair of those for when I'm on the go(I have some 70 euro AKGs at home ;) ) and the sound is spot on.Rich bass too. :)

On my second day of ownership my SGT is turning itself off, in addition everytime it happens the date and time reset themselves to Friday Dec 10, 2010 @ 1600.

Everything else remains the same as far as my settings and apps.

If I place the tab down for about 10 minutes it happens, it just shutdowns on its own and reset the time and date. In addition when it happens it takes a while for it to turn back on, I have to play with the power button for a while.

The first date I had some strange issues as it would not charge and no matter what I did the device will not turn on, eventually it did turn on and I tought everything was fine.

I'm taking it back to Frys today

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
Is there a way to make our flash not quite as obnoxious (it is on for like 5 seconds, then off, then on again for another 2 or so before taking the picture...), and also make the camera take the picture a little more quickly??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I noticed this last night.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Are you using the LG camera app? The flash comes on initially to allow the camera to focus more accurately. Then it flashes again for the actual exposure. You can mess around with the flash and focus settings to find the settings you like. It doesn't personally bother me though that the flash works this way because it makes for a better focused image.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
Yes, it is good for focusing on static images, but for anything you want to take of picture of more quickly (people smiling, which no one likes to have to do for 10 seconds when it could just be 1 or 2) or any other action shot, it fails. If you're at all familiar with the Samsung Fascinate, the flash for that is much quicker, and yet its pictures are just as crisp and focused...

I've tried messing around with the focus settings but haven't found one to help speed up the flash and shutter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
Okay, just figured out that if you focus manually, the flash is instant. This is a good fix for all low- and medium-light situations, but it is no fix when it's really dark. The problem, of course, is that you can't manually focus when it's really dark because you the subjects don't show up and thus can't be focused on... So is there a work-around for these situations, or is that the time we leave it on auto focus and just endure the long-ass flash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
One workaround I've found is that in auto-focus mode if you press and hold the shutter button it will focus but won't take the photo until you release the shutter button. When you do release it, it takes the photo without delay. Its not effective in every situation but it helps.

I also turned off the instant preview and that makes it much quicker to take multiple photos in succession.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
great tip re: turning off instant preview!

Hi,

Grabbed the latest version which works fine but at the end of the first test when you need to turn around the tab to get the up arrow never turns green no matter how I turn it :( I tried the screen calibration fix and turned off compatibility mode but still not working.

[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
You know the guy I'm talking about: while he's sitting in the VD clinic with an itchy crotch, he's praying to God: "Oh God, please don't let it be herpes. If it's not herpes I swear I won't visit another whorehouse as long as I live."

Then, as soon as the doctor announces that he's just got a case of jock itch and he should put some anti-fungal on it, the guy runs to the whorehouse to celebrate....

Because, see, just a few days ago I semi-bricked my Evo running after a failed Unrevoked. Not sure why it failed, but the phone would lock up every 15 seconds. So I flashed a stock image to repair the damage, and then a newer one, and wound up with a phone that worked except it wouldn't read the SD card or USB port (charging would only occur if the phone was turned off).

So as I was working my way through the fix I kept promising myself that if I got it fixed I'd just keep it stock unrooted and be happy with it.

Then, thanks to the good fold here, I managed to get the device running again the way it should. Wheeew, I thought, I'm happy now.

But... of course... it only took a few hours before the "root" itch hit me again. Fixing the semi-brick issue required installing z4root, and that app gave me a taste of da root acces... and ooooh did it taste goooood! Problem with z4root, though is that you're still s-on, and it's my understanding that if you're s-on and take the new GB update, you're SOL (at least for the time being). And I wanted to be s-off for the peace of mind it offered.

So my desire for real permanent root got the better of me. I decided that the reason unrevoked had failed for me the first time probably had something to do with all the cr*p I had installed on my phone. So I used Titanium backup along with z4root to back up the stuff I'd installed since getting my phone back and re-flashed the stock 2.2 image that had worked for me, and started with afresh phone.

Tried unrevoked one more time and... viola! It worked!!!

I'm happy now... a happy, unrepentant sinner!

Anyway, if you've read through all this: bless you.

I do have a couple of questions:

1) Am I correct that being s-off means I can now install unsigned ROMs the same way I installed the stock image I am on? (basically, rename it PC36IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card and boot into the bootloader and let it install)?

2) do I need to run "unrevoked forever"? I'm not clear on this. Getting some conflicting information from searching. My best guess, from what I've read, is that the latest unrevoked includes all the stuff that unrevoked forever does.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
-Is blessed-

1. You don't need to make a PC36IMG to flash a rom; just download the file, then backup your current rom, do a full wipe, then flash the rom zip

2. You don't need to flash the forever zip; it was used to give you nand unlock -s-off- in the older versions of unrevoked, and was incorporated into the new one.

And keep applying that jock itch.
[EVO 4G General] ca1ne:
And once you flash a couple roms, you will get the itch to start using the kitchen and playing with your own custom rom, its only a matter of time, lol
[EVO 4G General] budeone:
I probably try two a week now. Its amazing how much work these guys do.
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
Unrevoked forever is incorporated in Unrevoked now. So need for that. :)

Also, you dont flash them in the bootloader. Boot into the bootloader, then use volume down to go down to the option that says "recovery" then use the power button to select. It will boot into recovery menu which should have a list of options, go down to flash zip from sdcard, then select zip from sdcard. It will show you a list of everything on your sdcard. Navigate to wherever your rom .zip file is that you downloaded and select it. It will ask you if you want to flash, select yes.

PS dont forget to wipe before you flash. ("Wipe all user data/factory reset" option when your in recovery.)
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
OK, so that's pretty much the same as with the Nook flashing Phiremod (a Cyanogenmod variant).

Im returning this sd card and getting a class 6 or 10 one
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bridgstfer:
Hi Guys,

I too just bought a new 16gb Class 4 SD card today and want to upgrade.

I currently have a 4gb with 512mb EXT3 partition, Clockwork recovery, Insertcoin 1.0.8, S-ON - all working great (except 512mb is full).

Based on your experiences if I have no SD card reader should I do the following:

- Full Nandroid Backup on phone

- SD Fat32 backup to PC

- Switch off phone and insert new 16gb card

- Boot into HBOOT and wait for USB mode

- Boot my Linux USB drive into Gparted

- Create FAT32 and EXT3 parition (should 1.5gb be enough for EXT3?)

- Boot into recovery

- In advanced restore just restore the sd-ext portion in Nandroid to the new SD (is it issue EXT partition went from 512 to 1.5gb?)

- Boot phone?

- If issues swap back in original SD card and wipe sweat from brow

Many thanks for your help on this I am quite nervous about messing it up. I know there are many threads none none are clear on best method and many require card reader.

Thanks

Bridgstfer
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Buy a card reader for future use...

all you need to do is -

Nandroid backup

Format your new sd card to what ever you like... Fat 32 1gb ext for example

Transfer all from old card to new card

Insert new Sd

advanced restore ext only

Done
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bridgstfer:
Thanks.

Oh i think I forgot a step - obviously to do the restore with the new card I will need to boot windows again and copy the backup file to the FAT32 partition again (with phone still in HBOOT USB mode).

If I do the transfer your way how can I copy everything from old card to new card in windows or Ubuntu without card reader? Cant seem to mount the EXT in Ubuntu when plugged in through the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
While using old card transfer files to PC

Swap cards

Transfer files from PC to new sd

'Cant seem to mount the EXT in Ubuntu when plugged in through the phone' - Buy a card reader there better to use and very cheap

Click "Add new port" in the "port" field, enter COMxx (whereas xx is your port number you found in properties of Samsung Modem) and for "label" put anything you want.
