Have you tried Vlingo from the market? I think it has what you need plus some additional features like TTS which I find invaluable when driving? More importantly, the in car mode really does not require you to even touch the phone!

Dear Moderator

You have deleted two posts i posted today, why ??????????????

one related to root donation, which i might understand if that was against forum policy

The second one which i really dont understand was relating to the Alpha Rev team that made the achievement of unlocking the desire S via a software they released

It's not hard at all. Questions belong in the general section, development belongs in the dev section. Before making a new thread, spend a few minutes researching the question you have. If you can't find an answer AFTER searching, then make a new thread, in the CORRECT section.

99 out of 100 times I can find the answer to any question via Google. Hell, I even learned how the birds and the bees work thanks to Google. Jk.
[HTC Sensation] tnimoruen:

Radlouni I can understand frustration when you do not understand why you are being treated a certain way. Your last post of personal attacks is just uncalled for as was the post you were responding to. In the future I suggest that you PM the Mod that you have an issue with. This thread is not productive and not in the spirit of what XDA is all about which is advancing in mobile technology. I am closing this thread if you or anyone else has an issue with this please PM me directly.

[HTC Sensation] ashasaur:
Like everyone else says. Your threads where deleted because

A-Bounties are not allowed, I have already stated this multiple times and posted that any new threads about such things would be deleted.

and

B-Again, there was already a thread posted about the Desire S being unlocked so yours was redundant.

Going to flash to GB today but wanted to know if I should use EF02 or EF10 modem. What are your opinions?
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
I'm using ef10 and its running really well
[Epic 4G General] seroaddict:
Don't know, but it takes so little time to flash radios that you can go back and forth and decide for yourself. I've had problems with connectivity on the leaked Gingerbread ROMs, both on the EC05 and EF02 modems. Going to try EF10 next, but I think my problems lie elsewhere.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Am I the only one who can't flash the modem? I always get internal error.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
EF02 hands down
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
I've been running EF02 since it leaked, and everything worked great for a while, then all of a sudden, the phone rebooted at one point, and after that, I had no radios. I re-flashed the EF02 modem, and everything started working. Since then, I've had to re-flash the modem several times to restore connectivity. I've since flashed the EC05 modem, which seems to be working fine with the EF02 GB ROM.
[Epic 4G General] Pete720:
I had some radio issues but than I saw noobnl's post about re partition and the debugkernal in the EF02 leak. So I went back to Odin, re-flashed EF02 checking repartition and installing the debugkernal and upgraded to the EF10 modem and with the exception of some apps no longer available to me in the app store my Epic has been working flawlessly including Netflix.
[Epic 4G General] azmuzyk:
EF02

EF02 with EF10 modem running smooth for just about 2 weeks now. no complaints.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
After about 36 hours with EF02 modem it crashed and wouldn't come out of airplane mode. I had to reflash the EF02 modem to get it to work. I OTA upgraded to EF10 and it's been pretty solid. I've had EF10 installed since it leaked, and for the most part it runs better than stock Froyo with WAY better battery life. I've had a few lockups that seem to come from accumulated errors or memory glitches, I've gotten into the habit of rebooting once a day and it seems to keep GB running smooth. Can't wait for the official release.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
EF02 modem works beautifully for me. Here's my suggestion:

Odin the EF02 modem and try it out for a couple of days. If you are not satisfied, just use the OTA to upgrade to the EF10 modem. Fortunately and unfortunately, by upgrading the modem, you will be spammed with an update to switch your modem back and forth. That is good if you found EF10 modem dissatisfying and want to switch back to the EF02 modem without Odining, but it also sucks that you get that annoying message. However, I believe someone found a way to get rid of that annoying message so if you just look around the forums a bit, I'm sure you can find it.

Hope this helps your decision!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munwaioblivious:
I have a uk set gs2. The problem nw is it at times it automatically restarts. It happens maybe 2 times a day. Or less. But it bothers me. Wonder

What could have causes it? I have rooted it with kernel from chainfire. KE7. Installed rooted apps like adfree, density changer and market enabler. No task killer. Any help from this? Appreciate it. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omersak:
This was happening with me as well after i installed No Lock. Removed it and it never restarted since.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtkbee:
I have the same problem. My SGS2 reboots frequently, especially(mainly) when I am using the default music player.

I have a stock SGS2, no root or taskkiller.

I do have last.FM running also.

The reboots are really random and not related to the amount of free RAM (there is usually a lot).

Another thing i want to add is that the reboots are really quick, does not seem to occur like the normal (re)boot process.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munwaioblivious:
I had the same problem. The music player shuts down after awhile. But the reboot was a quick one. I use screen off and lock. I didnt use no lock though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk206:
Yes! This happens to me aswell. I can recreate this using default music player. When I play my quick list it reboots...well the reboot takes like 5secs? Blazing fast but still it is an issue. I have stock ke7 too with cf's root kernel. I didn't stay on ke7 wothout root for a long time so can't know for sure if that's the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
Same here guys .With xwke7 something goes wrong with the stock music player.Very fast reboot.SAMMY?>?????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1rtu4l:
my reboot is probably even faster than 5 seconds...

when i listen to a podcast on the default music player it suddenly stops and instantly plays the tone it plays when the phone starts and when i unlock the screen everything is booted up already, so i dont know if it even is a real reboot or just some reinitialization or stuff... i gotta check if it happens with other mp3 players too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arabbitte:
I can't say that I know exactly what the difference is, but for me, I see the SIMM PIN entry screen, meaning that if a "reboot" goes unnoticed, my phone ain't a phone because it's off the network until I get my PIN entered.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_Turtle:
I seem to have the same problem.

This has happened since the day I got it (original firmware KE1) and have also tried updating it too (KE7)

I have noticed this especially when the music player is running.

Another thing I have noticed is that if its in my pocket (with no force being applied to it) it happens more frequently than if I have it in my hand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Fox:
Yeah I have the same problem. But I only ever notice it when I'm running the stock music player.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
I believe it happens when these happen at the same time:

1) the stock music player is being used

2) the phone is vertical (like in your pants or chest pocket) - this one I am the least sure about

3) there is a change in GSM/3G/4G signal, even if the phone is in airplane mode

sounds crazy, but these are the circumstances I get it under, at least two times in the day.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
I only experienced one sudden reboot in 2 weeks. I'm on stock KE5, no root. It happened when i was switching off/on the screen and unlocking the phone too fast using WidgetLocker. The weird part was the reboot was blazing fast, the boot animation for a second or two and then phone went to main screen instantly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valdigre:
Same story here, KE7, when playing music player it restarts randomly.

I have this firmware for 3 weeks and it just started doing this this week. Happened 2 times in the last 2 days and got me worried that.it is hardware related.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fro5tie:
hi

i am having the same problem, only happened a couple of times like explained here, in music player it will randomly reboot. i am on ke7 with cf-root

i had one yesterday though, phone was on my desk not using it at all, only push email active, nothing else running and i just heard a sound from it, looked and it had gone into "Safe Mode" (said bottom left of the screen), also some of my widgets had disappeared and needing readding, and also pretty much everything from my folders in applications had jumped out and gone into the default applications pages (about 30 of them!)

anyone had this problem before?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph00ny:
it was posted in the KE7 release thread and confirmed to be an issue even with poweramp as well as the stock music player. I'm currently on KE2 without a single issue with the audio player and i had to revert back to KE2 from KE7 because of this issue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk206:
Ph00ny so you're not having this issue anymore?

Actually I loved my old sgsII (apart from screen which is why I replaced)

KE2 Was awesome. More wallpapers and etcs. I might do the same if the randon odd reboot stops.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valdigre:
As of today my music player is unusable. It stops/pauses music every couple of seconds now, I hope they will release new firmware soon :.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valdigre:
Here is one for you, after thorough tests I have come to conclusion, that random restarts are happening when using wired headset, phone does not restart when using loudspeaker or bluetooth headset...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1rtu4l:
yeah you are right, i have the pin security enabled too, so this cant be a full reboot, since i would have to re-enter the pin code ... so its probably just a restart of some component (touchwiz?)

and yes it did only happen when i used the stock music player in combination with a wired head set ... right now i use poweramp and did not have this problem anymore
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk206:
+1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelomaldito:
Not true for me. My phone (KE7) reboots after 30-50 min listening music using the loudspeakers. Up to now I haven't experienced reboots when listening music with the headset, although I never spend more than 30 min using that.

Coincidently or not, it happened that my phone was always on the vertical position when the reboot took place.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socheat:
I may consider not to buy GS2, if this problem still happen to all GS2 users.

:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk206:
I think it's a bug with the quick list or something jn the default music player. Can someone who hasn't rooted their sgs II also confirm this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCarl:
Mine reboots now and then but only when im connected to wifi (i think).

Both on stock KE2 and on rooted lightning 1.5 rom.

I have never used the default music player
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckinFutz:
I had the same problem, was on stock firmware (old) with hardly any apps. Sadly I had to send it back and they confirmed there was a fault. New phone has had no issues, it does have newer firmware though (KE2).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAEL:
I've noticed that everytime I have a reboot, my battery usage chart has a drop down, any ideas?

BTW, I'm talking with Handtec to RMA maybe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingvarr:
Battery drop not necessarily means anything - if reboot due to kernel panic, this could screw up the usage tracking causing observed drops.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amanha:
Yes ive got this problem also. Listening to anything, Leaving the phone horizontal next to me whilst revising, suddenley switches off.

Music turns off, phone vibrates with a blank screen (like it does when it turns off), then comes on and asks me to put in my unlock pin code and at the top bar says 'media scanner running'. Back to homescreen in 7seconds. Like a mini-reboot.

The funny thing is that i got the phone like a week ago and its going back soon becuase of the screen circle issue.

Could be a buggy music player crashing the phone?

(if its relevent, i have 5.1 surround sound switched on when this happens, il test it later if it happens with 5.1 turned off)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] du.renato:
Just noticed it today on my unrooted SGS2... Two reboots while using stock music player w/ wired headset. Also got a major battery drop
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulder3:
It also happens to me me sometimes, i only notice it because is asks for PIN, it only happend inside my pocket, so i've never seen if it's fast or not to reboot. I'm on CF-Root KE7.

Btw, How does Android handle Linux Kernel panics? by rebooting? If yes, where is the debug log saved? ADB's Logcat is not helpful here, since i can't provoke a reboot, i've tried to abuse the music player but it doesn't reboot. But i've read here some people can cause a reboot using music player ... Can you try to do that, while having adb's logcat attached?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chylld:
happened to me 3 times yesterday on stock KE7, every single time when using the default music player. reverted to KE2 last night and it's been going strong for 1.5 hours so far...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerome.d:
I also have some unexpected reboots, but they are not due to the music player, they often happen when I hit the "back" button too many times/too quickly (for example, when exiting an application and coming back, from the list of applications, to the home screen).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazzTT:
Happens me also. Very annoying.about twice a day.

I never use the default music app on the phone. Ive been using a rooted KE7 since the day after I got the phone. These restarts never happen when I'm looking at, or using the phone. Every time it happens, the phone is in my pocket (in the vertical position, someone mentioned that in another post).

I notice this as one of three things. Either:

1 - I go to use my phone and find it on the SIM PIN enter screen.

2 - I hear the samsung startup sound as the phone is restarting.

3- I find the phone off.

I was thinking maybe the power button is being pressed in my pocket (although I realize it takes more than just holding the power button to power off the phone when it's locked)

I also see the sudden drop in the battery usage chart, although the level doesn't seem to go down, it's like some of the battery history gets lost from the chart.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulder3:
That's exactly what happens in my case... 100% of it...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budaiyanjing:
I just got my 9100 yesterday, no such problem, have ever tried to restore all default settings, you know, the one with the number dialer
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:

mne is Rooted, KE7
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph00ny:
I haven't experienced it once i reverted back to KE2

So far so good with cognition 1.07 as well
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chylld:
Same here... went back to KE2 stock (no root) and listened to music all day yesterday without a single reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazzTT:
Any experiences of this with KF* roms? Seems to be majority KE7 here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenw138:
Same here. I found it only restart by itself when the screen is off.

I was using music player at the background for half an hour while the screen was on. After I locked it, for around 5 minutes, it restarted automatically.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceclaw:
i had this problem on a holiday and couldnt check the forums, but it looks like it is a common bug.

what i found was, that if i disabled the PIN screen lock, then the music player would not do the mini-reboots and play indefinitely. (i was using the wired headphones that came in the box)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACP_XT:
Mostly what happens to me too, except that I dont use the PIN and it restarts in the horizontal position too. I usually find it switched off and it turns on when I press the lock key. However, I didnt have this problem the first 2 weeks I had the phone, it started recently so I am trying to identify which program I installed is causing this. Tried a factory reset, but Google installed all my apps back, so I am going to try a full factory reset now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toejamy:
had the same problem with a neverlocked stock sgs2 running on firmware "pda:ke7/phone:ke4" : 3-5 minutes after starting to listen to music via the stock-music-player the phone did a fast reboot (music on sd-card). updating firmware to "pda:kf3/phone:kf7" solved the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duffman19:
I had this, 2 or 3 times a day and it seemed random, not just when using the music player. I nearly sent the phone back but after a factory reset it hasn't done it since. It could be related to the lock screens, I haven't turned the pattern lock back on since my reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMcLovin:
I have this problem on my 2nd Galaxy S 2. The first one I sent back to Amazon thinking it was a hardware problem, but I have the very same issue on this one.

It will reboot no matter what I'm doing. I hardly ever listen to music on it.

Today, it rebooted when loading up task manager when trying to figure out what was draining my battery. It only happens once a day, maybe less.

Are there any official firmware updates yet?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeanEYE:
If you think about it, extreme battery drain like that could be caused by a busy process and restart may well be Linux OOM killer. You see when Linux runs out of memory their decision is to crash one process instead of whole system, so it finds the misbehaving process and then kills it.

It may very well be that this process is an important DalvikVM process. That would explain fast reboots as not the whole system goes down but only the Dalvik part. Hm, I wonder...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pythus:
I got my SGS2 about 1 week ago, and since then it has rebooted or froze over 5 times a day. Every time it freezes I would have to power down by holding power button then power up again. By the end of the week, it has now stopped powering up altogether even after battery pull and the screen would just show static (see attached picture). No root, only social apps installed like facebook and twitter and some news apps.

I managed to get it to download mode and updated the firmware to JPKG2, 2.3.3 (it used to be JPKF3). The phone started up and was working ok. I avoided installing any apps and just use the phone as is. I managed to get 12 hours with no crash, then out of no where while scrolling through Settings, the phone froze up and started rebooting endlessly until it got back to the static screen I mentioned earlier.

I am pretty sure its a hardware problem. I will definitely be getting a replacement. Just wanted to share my experience with you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arabbitte:
That's pretty much 100% what I have seen too. A few comments on my own experiences:

I've seen the fast reboot (not asked to reenter SIMM PIN)

I've seen the, eh, slow reboot (asked to reenter SIMM PIN)

I've seen the "dead phone" - Black screen requiring battery out or long press on power key to bring it back.

I have a 32GB micro SD card and reboots happen more often when this is installed (card soak tested twice with h2testw on laptop - no issues)

I switched off the "motion activation" in settings and still saw a reboot

I stuck a bit a paper against the battery to force better contact - no difference.

I have seen the reboot happen when I play music

Many reboots happen when the phone is doing nothing

I have used the phone hard on occassions without anything going wrong: 4 hours constant use of Co-Pilot, screen hot, etc, Hammered it with "StabilityTest v1.5 until the CPU temp went close to 50C, can't make it go wrong.

I can't reproduce the problem.

Problem is very intermittent - I have had no reboot for a week, but sometimes I get 2 a day.

My phone is stock, KE7 with some apps installed. Nothing exciting

Big question: Should I return it, be without it for a month and risk getting a botched "repair" or 2nd hand replacement or should I assume it's a software glitch that will go away with 2.3.4?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadflat:
i was having the same problem with seemingly random reboots, turns out it was the case i had the phone in, it must have been pressing down on the power button slightly.

After i switched cases the problem went away, and came back when i put the other case on to test the theory
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arabbitte:
And Again AAArrrggghhhhh !!!

1 week without a reboot, I thought the problem might have gone away. Some hope!

Just before 9:30pm this evening, I heard the bootup sound - the phone was in my shirt pocket. Another bloody reboot! After entering my SIMM PIN (this wasn't a fast reboot) I saw a notification - the phone had just received notification of 6 app updates.

At 9:27 ...

Other than that, the phone wasn't doing anything and hadn't been touched for at least 30 minutes.

Because the phone is generally doing little when it reboots, if it's not related to upgrades coming in (I might have seen this once before), I'm thinking there's a possibility it's down to faulty process management: The phone is quiet, process management kicks in to do some housekeeping and bites its own tail off.

Or maybe not - maybe its wind direction :rolleyes:

Send the phone back or wait for upgrade? I know, nobody knows. Replace phone or wait for an OS upgrade that will fix the bug. Hardware or software? Eeney meeney, miney moe ...
