[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0ryn:
Are you using an external case / cover to protect your phone?

I have found that somehow using a case alters the acoustic properties of the phone, causing noise reduction to fail / malfunction. Try removing the case / cover, when you make a call.

Someone really needs to make a noise reduction calibration app for this phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
tested this and you are right! might look at the official Samsung case since that doesn't cover the Mic only thing that concerns me is it doesn't cover some of the edges!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godzilla123:
I have the same problem. I don't have a cover, just a screen protector. The protector does not cover any holes. It has three openings... For the handset speaker, front camera and home key. incidently it does not have any holes for the light sensor.

What kind of cover did you have?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
I had one of the 3.95 ones from play.com that was black and had the S design on the back.

I tried to modify it to expose the mic a bit but it still did not work.

I guess I would have to cut away the front area of the bottom section completely which would look rubbish!

I cant quite justfy spending more than £9 on another case though!

I'm going to Best Buy here in a few... I know I'll fall in love with the GT 10.1. I really like the idea of the Archos, but...... the wait is killing me.

I'm not looking to view DVD quality movies on my tab. I'm not looking to encode anything. My house is wired up so that I can access all my files wirelessly throughout anyhow... I just want something that when I toss on a DIVX, AVI, ETC, standard 1gb file that I stole from the internet (um, I mean legally download) that it will play when I'm out and about, etc. My Droid Incredible plays most any file I put on it so I'm hoping the same from this tablet?

Any huge problems? I have little patience and my days of encoding things are long behind me when all I do is download, watch and then trash.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] th0r615:
I haven't had any problems playing my downloaded movies/TV shows (even HD) with Mobo player. And when Samsung releases TouchWiz media playback will only get better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tycon:
I haven't figured out the correct sizing for ripped dvds (I'm sure its in one of these forums somewhere) but the movies that I have copied over look great and play well. They are just not full screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] crazed_z06:
I got GT10.1 last night. I was going to get the transformer, but I did a little comparison in Best Buy. I played the same Youtube HD Music video on both tablets. The Asus playback was skip and wasnt totally smooth. The GT was totally smooth so I went with the Sammy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bbeelzebub:
Thanks for the input!

I picked up a tab a bit ago, time to charge it and let the fun begin!

Now, I hope the Archos G9 sucks major donkey balls, so that way I don't get buyers remourse! LOL

After fiddling with all the other tablets at Best Buy and Fry's, I was really impressed with how light the GT 10.1 is. Maybe I was just feeling lazy, but that alone made me want it. It feels so nice in hand. Better than the iPad 2 that I had and returned.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dazz87:
The TF at bestbuy is on 3.0. Theres no issue when its on 3.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxmeister:
There does seem to be a problem with Flash video on the TF, as it appears that hardware acceleration is not enabled.

I'd expect that to be fixed soon though.

It won't play mkv files. So, i've been ripping my videos to m4v format. If the source file is at a high enough resolution, i use 1280 x 720 at 1200kbs. I get a pretty good picture and a movie will be around 800MB to 1GB?

Every time I try to flash stock ED1 in odin it crashes half way through >.< any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Slacker101:
Got it to run all the way through by leaving the battery in never mind.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cynicismisfun:
Edit: reposting... :)

So, I had the same problem...found some fixes on here. The ones I remember are:

A: try a different USB port

B: charge the phone a bit before you attempt Odin

C: put the battery back into the phone once Odin has recognized it.

I went overkill when I was trying and did all three at once, but it worked!

Also, none of these ideas are mine, I read them in other posts, so thanks to those people who initially posted, even though I forgot who they are.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Slacker101:
lol thanks I saw your post right when I replied to mine. Honestly you could have kept it in case someone else had the issue and the battery isn't fixing it for them.

Welcome to my latest port:

|☆|SUB|★|SONIC|☆|​

Please note: I ported this ROM in just under 2 hours today. The process went smooth and flawless. I know this is basically the same as our Gin Leak with the exception of the directional keyboard and maybe a couple of other tiny little things, but to port this is kinda like a show of force for me. I just did it for fun and I don't know... maybe somebody will like and use this ROM. I don't really plan on moving forward with development on this ROM unless people really, really, really want me too. You decide.

​

About the ROM:

Based off of the latest Official OTA: 4.24.651.1 for the EVO 4G (Supersonic).

This ROM does come with the Directional keyboard. I know not to many like that keyboard so... just a heads up.

Also I have added in Wireless Tether, Google Car Home, Netflix and the SGS2 Secret Live Wallpapers

NOTE: Do not update the Netflix app. Just hit cancel when it asks for an update.

If you like the work I put into this, please rate my thread and press thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jcki4:
im trying to make my own rom trying to try new this out and i was going around taken lil apps tht other roms hads like hulu, mastermind mirror, ect and i dont think i zip it correctly cause when i check the inside of the zip folder the other file is still not zip and i am sure that is a problem right ??? ps im using cwm 3.0 is tht a problem ?

i use this meth...

ok, here it goes.

first, figure out where you want to push your file. i'd reccomend pushing manually in recovery to make sure the file itself works. then, using a tool like 7zip (pc) or betterzip (mac) create a file structure that matches the one on the phone. for example, if you wanted a boot animation to be put in system/customize/resource, make a folder system, customize in that, resource in that, and the bootanimation.zip inside that. now you have the main part. next, make a folder in the root of the zip called META-INF (caps counts) inside that, com, inside that, google, and inside that, android. thats /META-INF/com/google/android/. inside android, you need to place in an update-script. i'd reccomend taking one from another zip and just editing it becasue i still have not figured out a way to make that type of file (unix exec) from scratch. open it up in a .txt editor like notepad++ (pc) or coda (mac) and write your script. here is the baisic script for copying the directory system on the zip to system on the phone (like flashing a boot animation).

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

CAPS COUNT AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ENTER AT THE END. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ENTER AT THE END (TO MAKE IT TWO LINES INSTEAD OF ONE, LIKE ISSUEING A COMMAND) THEN IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL ( E:SYNTAX ERROR IN UPDATE-SCRIPT IS THE ERROR YOU WILL GET)

so put this file into the folder android, and zip it. make sure it is in store only, compatibility mode, if you have such options. then, use an auto signer (or just say zip is not signed and make sure to put sig verification off) to sign the zip. flash, and watch your work magically appear.

the update-script i showed is written in amend. i have no idea how to write in edify bcuz it is much more complicated with the binary and stuff. so dont flash with cwm 3.0+.

[HTC EVO 3D] eljefe18:
I received my Evo 3d on Tuesday and that day I was not able to play with it too much. On Wednesday I notice that after existing the spiderman game the screen went crazy. I had a duplicate of the icons on top and one of them was moving. Then the phone turned off by itself. I tried the power button but that did not help so I had to take the battery out for it to work. So for the past two days my phone would either freeze or freeze and power off. I had to take the battery out each time. I tried 2 factory resets and after calling in this morning a hard reset was done which the reps told me this sort of reset was better than a factory reset from the menu. So just a few minutes ago it froze again after I finished a call. It shut off and again had to take battery out in order to turn it back on. It had already been notated on my account that factory and hard resets were done so they agreed the phone was defective and they placed an order for a new device to be shipped out. Has anyone else had similar issues?

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Unless they can prove that your software had something to do with the hardware failure, they have to replace it.

Side note: With all due respect,

never

take your phone into Sprint rooted.

NO REASON to risk getting tagged as "rooted"
[EVO 4G General] bartbg323:
well i didnt unroot beacuse thats what i thought also..speaker doesnt have anythin 2 do with root and because all this gb update locked thing goin on..but the weirdest thing i went 2 put the ringer volume higher and the speaker sounds fine now...the rep gave me the receipt with ROOTED written in the middle but my speaker sounds ok now

[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
Sprint Repair M&P states that we are supposed to work on rooted devices. If the cause of the problem is suspected to be from root, then the device is to be RUU'd.

We are not allowed to outright refuse repair any longer. Take it back and remind them of this. If they still refuse, ask for the manager. If the manager refuses, ask to get in contact with their SRSS.
[EVO 4G General] dbug2008:
blown speaker

I took mine in for the same reason, rooted. they fixed it, no problem. It depends on what store you go to and the people that work there.
[EVO 4G General] flyboyjr:
unrooted mine first

I unrooted mine first and then took it in because all my phone calls would start on speakerphone. The guy looked at it and said with a smile, "You haven't changed anything from the day you got it". It had been almost a year. He laughed and then got me a new phone, while talking about how people should unroot before coming in.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:

[EVO 4G General] SANZEN71:
100% True. As Techs we are suppose to work on rooted devices. If its software related then we go the RUU route.
[EVO 4G General] dgomez720:
Fa sho! I have yet to deny a customer with a rooted device. Its really up to the tech if he/she wants to work on the phone or just be lazy. Everyone else here is correct, we aren't really allowed to refuse service anymore. Its not like its difficult to replace a speaker or any thing else either way. I do agree if anyone denies you service get a hold of the manager, if they refuse, get the dm involved if not climb the ladder to the srss.
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
I dont know how it is for Corp or other 3rd party companies, but we get commission from repairs such as replacing blown speakers. I don't understand why a tech wouldn't jump at the chance to replace one, unless they're not getting paid extra to do so.
[EVO 4G General] stillryan:
We techs don't get paid extra for repairs. We just get hour hourly pay. I've never refused service on a rooted phone because everyone of my androids has been rooted. I would not tell anyone that it was rooted, or tell them how to do it except to use google and read, and read, and read, and read some more before attempting it.
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
I guess it's just my company that pays commission on repairs then.
[EVO 4G General] bartbg323:
thanks every1 for the good info...ill make sure i let them know next time...i guess it was just the store i went 2...the guy i checked in didnt even know what root was so he went back there and asked the tech why they didnt do it and gave me my receipt...but like mentioned earlier its strange because my speaker sounds fine now

So I tested on the spot and that repair didn't do ****, and the guys said sorry we cant fix it anymore because you have internal damage,your moisture indicator is partially on. WTF I know I didn't got my phone wet or neer the water or moisture. So I started to get loud and called manager. I talked to manager and he wrote an email to TEP and I got the insurance on the replacement EVO :). Next I went to the other Sprint store and they fixed my phone for good (cracked lens was causing miss focus) He also said there is no damage in my phone. WTF? Some of those tech people are ****ing stupid. If you don't know how to fix it don't touch it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thejondude:
Hey guys.. im just a lil curious. I currently have a acer a500 and im kinda annoyed with acer support. When got me looking into returning it for an asus eee transformer, until I saw that this was released! Im im sure you guys are a little biased, but if you could have your choice of any pad would you buy the samsung again? my concern is mostly devs.... not a lot going on for the acer imo.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lqaddict:
The choice is yours. If you want expandable storage, HDMI out, and save 100 bucks out of the box go with transformer. If you want a polished device all around, nice screen and have cash to burn on the things mentioned above - go with Samsung.

sent from an android device
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsEVOlve:
yeah the apparent lack of dev support and locked bootloader (at the time) is why I returned my A500. Decided there really wasn't much I really needed all those ports for personally. Tried to test drive a TF at Fry's but the touchscreen wouldn't respond even after i rebooted. When I pointed it out to sales guy he said that was the 2nd display that stopped working which I took as a bad sign. So far pretty happy with my decision because the GT is much easier to handle and I've seen quite a few familiar names dev-wise showing up here.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thejondude:
ya ive heard the TF flexes alot.... is the GT more solid feeling? thanks for the reply pretty much exactly what i was thinking and looking to confirm . as long as the 30pin samsung port works with 3g dongles and keyboards im happy!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bootsie99:
I had the acer for a couple weeks, then this tab came out and I returned the acer. To me it was more about DEV, I figured we would see custom ROMs faster on theGalaxy.

Thee device itself is much lighter, faster, and I didnt use any of the ports.

I actually had to return two of the acers cause they just kept force closing an the hardware/build was sketchy.

I am totally happy with the tab
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsEVOlve:
Is it more solid....if you mean does any part of it feel like it will come loose or feel cheap then no it just feels lighter than the A500 and Xoom. It seemed like people making an argument for the Xoom always equated its weight with a solid feel which I didn't understand. The A500 felt lighter but also felt more solid than the Xoom IMO.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] docfreed:
How is the "bloatware" content and ease of rooting? I had an Iconia 500 (returned 'cause I was a little afraid of ****ty Acer support and lack of dev support) but the Acer had a minimum of bloat and root was dead easy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsEVOlve:
There are only two apps from Samsung prepossessing, a music market app (Music Hub) and Samsung's own market app. Rooting isn't one click or accomplished via an apk like Gingerbreak on the Acer (which I think I read doesn't even work on the 3.1 update). If you have a little experience with ADB and using a command prompt you prob won't find it difficult to root. The only issue I had was getting the Samsung drivers installed but that was more of an annoyance than anything else. The instructions are really pretty straightforward. I think someone is working on a script to run the root commands but I haven't seen it yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thejondude:
returned my acer and got a samsung 16gig 10.1 today... little sad that my bootloader is locked but eah im sure with time this will get fixed. my acer was faster and no lag like my samsung does, but the samsung has more potential imo.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Itaintrite:
As an owner of both the Transformer and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 at the moment (will return one soon), I can give you some unbiased advice.

The Galaxy Tab is definitely the better tablet, as is. Meaning if you're not looking to spend any more money after you've paid for the tablet, you'll get the better tablet with the Galaxy Tab (of course, it's $100 more). The build quality is superior. It's thinner/light etc.

However, if you're looking for a tablet with more hardware features, then the Asus Transformer is obviously the clear winner.

The only concern I have with the Galaxy Tab is support from Samsung. Asus have been nothing but awesome. 3.1 firmware 3 weeks after announcement then kernel source shortly after. The Galaxy Tab came out with 3.1 so no idea how it will turn out... I haven't had a chance to own any Samsung phone but I've heard horror stories regarding Samsung's support. But I'm sure we'll have xda's excellent communities to help out with either tablet.
