Have Same problem

I have the same problem as you, my voice talk app is launching very often by it self for me 2. I tried to reset my phone to factory settings but didn't work, and my battery is only lasting for max 12hours+-, depends on my use.

Can se in the battery usage that my phone OS is using 96% battery and screen is using 2% an 2% for something else.(don't remember because im offshore and can't use mobile phone here) normaly the Android OS should use less more than 96%

This is very fustrating!! do annyone know what to do here?? probably root the phone an delete the Voice Talk App ??? or can there be some problem with the phone electronics that makes the phone act this strange??

Hope someone finds this out!!

I love this phone but this is making me crazy!! hehe

Voice talk starting can't turn off solved!!!!!

Was driving me nuts but finally found how to turn off the annoying voice talk by F*****G VERLINGO. Go to Settings, Motion then turn off double tap it has worked for me thank F**K. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daspooke:
My question is... why did all our phones started having the same problem at the same time... I've turned off double tap and it seems to have worked for me too, but that is not a definitive solution, cause it was allways turned on and there were no prob before. My problem started about 3months after i upgraded my phone to ICS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
because you refused to do necessary things after upgrading to ICS

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII

I have VVC car mode problem. ..how to disebl this VVC ple help me..:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soozles:
Any solution?

Was any solution found for this problem? My S2 is not only launching tap and speak, but playing music, putting itself in to car mode, re-booting itself. Battery draining extra quick and taking all day to re-charge. It's posessed.

As above, I'm looking for a contacts widget that will work with 2.3.3. Does anyone know of any? I've tried a half dozen or so from the market but they either don't work, or don't work the way I want them to.

I'm just looking for a non-scrolling sense type one. I don't want to install any launchers or anything like that, I'm happy with the phone as it is in that respect, so I would rather have a static one.

The closest one to the mark was Contact Widget, it looked the part but was very buggy. It was meant to show 20 contacts at any one time but after I had selected the 20, it then only displayed 4 and pretty much froze. Not sure if that's a 2.3.3 issue or not.

Any recommendations?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ohyeahar:
If you want one that's non-scrolling, I would suggest not installing anything. Just add shortcuts to your contacts on the home screen. You can also put them into a folder if you so choose.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Scott M:
Thanks for that, 2 years I've been running android and didn't know that lol.

I eventually found and sorted out elixir which does the job nicely.

With the development of technology, the phone can no longer meet the needs of people. The emergence of Tablet PC allow people once again feel the power of technology. Eken M009S is a good choice of tblet PC. :)Eken M009S uses a resistive touch screen, resistive touch screen is that it benefits the screen a good responsiveness and control systems. It is a completely isolated from the outside world working environment, doesn’t afraid of dust and water vapor, can adapt to all kinds of bad Environment, can use any object to touch it and stability is good.
[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
That device is quite nice but....

Resisitive touch screen? Ehwww....old technology...you have to literally press the screen a bit hard to get it responding...

I do not want to call resisitive touch screen with the word "good responsiveness and control system"

It sucks big time.

I do not believe also for the dust and water proof...sory mate...I ain't buying what you told us.. :) ....that device is a cheap Android device...nothin' more..

But if the price is right, one can live with such limitations.

Thank you for your advise.Maybe you don't like resistive touch screen, we also have many other smartphone with Capacitive Touch Screen .If you have interest in our goods , welcome to our company website.

I just took my titanium backup from my galaxy s and loaded onto galaxy s 2. restored all apps and a few system settings, on reboot i get force close on sms system.

process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly.

any ideas how to fix? :))
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Unfortunately for you, a hard reset is probably the easiest way. Then do an app/data restore from Titanium again, but DON'T restore system apps this time!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhys100:
can someone please post a messaging system app from titanium on sg2 so i can restore that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
You'll need to put this in the system/apps folder to reinstate it, but this may not fix the problem as there may be associated files that you also need. Only 1 way to find out :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhys100:
mmm, i sent it to myself in a email and downloaded and installed over the top, but still no good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
You'll need to hard reset then. Since you have a backup to restore, it'll only take 5 minutes. Like I said, just don't restore system apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhys100:
ill try one more thing, installing root explorer and see if i delete all the old stuff and install then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
You're not actually trying to install the apk by running it, are you?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhys100:
tried to haha. but now i deleted the original via root explorer then uploaded the one you gave me back in there
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhys100:
didnt work gahh. it doesnt think the app exists now..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I hate to sound like a broken record, but do a hard reset. If you'd have done it earlier, you'd be using your phone by now ;)

Having a little trouble

Every time I try to do this, once I load it on hboot, it installs, but the image I used is not there. It has a white picture of 3 Androids skateboarding as my splash. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
you have coverted the image to a 480x800 bmp first then rename it to splash1.bmp, then used nbimg to covert that to splash1.img, then adding that to the android-info and zipped it up(in normal) and renamed it to PC36IMG(just as you see it) then installed it on sdcard and rebooted into bootloader, after it finds it you hit volume up (2x)once for yes to the update and then again for the reboot. just checking your steps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
Yep, in order, all instructions followed to the t. I don't get it. It says install yes no and I say yes. It says it installed, which it must have somehow, because I have other splashes I have used in the past and have reflashed them tonight just to make sure it's not the phone. But it did install, just not the picture I created, it's what I described above, which is not what I made. I don't get it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
post up the zip you made that dosent work with a copy of the image.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
You got it.

OK, here is my zip and the image below.

Dude, what did you do to get it working? I really wanna know. What am I doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
not sure what i did different from you if you followed the steps.i do pretty much the samething. i use gimp to edit and resize never bothered to check if it's 24bit rgb when i save it, i just hit save as rename and then do the nbimg thing and combine with the info file and zip in normal. i did tweak up another one using that pic(couldn't help myself) if you want i can post it up

heres a pic of it

Seriously?!

Well, that sucks. I am still trying to figure out this little gem. It's annoying me that I can't get this working. You know what they say. If at 1st you don't succeed...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
what are you using to resize pics to 480x800(photoshop,gimp,etc)

maybe the problem lies in that
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
I am using Photoshop. When it saves to .bmp format, it asks if I want 24b and so on. That's what it's set to by default. So, I am kinda at a loss for words at the moment. This is so simple, I know it's something tiny I am overlooking. I am totally following the instructions in the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
Let me try to make one using PhotoShop and see what happens, I normally use Gimp. I'll let you know
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
K, thanks:cool:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
worked flawlessly for me

this is what i did using ps4(on windows):when your save your(h480xw800) splash1.bmp and the option for 24 bit rgb comes up go to advance mode and make sure it says that its (checked) 24 bit r8 g8 b8 then do the nbimg(renaming it to splash1.img after convert)and when you zip it up (in normal) make sure that its PC36IMG.zip and not PC36IMG.zip.zip(if using 7zip just name it PC36IMG it should add the zip ext to it) try it and let me know the outcome
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
I wanted to add, I did flash your pc36img via bootloader and it worked fine. So, I am gonna try again and see what happens. Am I supposed to alter anything in the txt file in the zip or just leave it as is from the download?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
no as long as your txt file looks like this "modelid: PC3610000

cidnum: SPCS_001

mainver: 3.26.651.6

hbootpreupdate:3

DelCache: 0

DelUserData:0

your good, just try a new image and resize to 480x800 and run through it like i did and lets see what happens

when you put the one your trying out on sdcard just rename the old one to (1)PC36IMG so you can just rename it if the newer fails(easier than redownloading it everytime )
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
That line in your help was the key, mi amigo. So for anyone using photoshop, (I don't know why it's not default, but whatever) make sure you look at advance mode and do the above.

Thank you tons, brother. I got my newest creation going as my splash. It's a small victory, but greatly appreciated. You rock, and thanks to the OP for the initial instructions.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Just want to get some advice...

This is my third device. The first two were returned for various reasons including touchscreen issues and overheating. The first two did not have any creaking what so ever, but this one definitely has it. I can hear it when typing a message or just gripping the phone to read stuff on the screen. I feel terrible about going in and asking for another exchange...should I just live with it? I feel like they will look at me and think I am crazy for returning a device for something so trivial...especially since it's not my first exchange. Can I go to a t-mobile store in another town to do the exchange?

I have a day to decide before my 14 days are up :(
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Has just changing the back casing fixed the creaking for anyone? Thinking about just living with it until it gets unbearably annoying then I could just order a new backing.
[HTC Sensation] SykesAT:
I would not be able to live with a creaking phone. And you've two other that did not do it... I would change it again.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Should I state the reason is because of the creaking or say something else? I feel like they won't want to honor the exchange if it's because of the creaking which will be a hassle... *sigh* wish I just got a perfect device to begin with lol
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
So luckily my friend has the same phone. We switched backings (his does not creak at all) and my phone stopped creaking. With my backing on his phone, his phone started to creak. I asked him to come with me to the store so we could demonstrate this and the sales rep replaced my phone right away. He even commented on how "loud" the creaking was. Happy ending, new phone no creaking :D
[HTC Sensation] xanderdad:
I was denied a replacement for the creaking issue at my local tmo store tonight. They wanted to give me a back from a returned phone, but didn't have any in the store. I bought the phone last Sunday so I see no reason why they shouldn't have just given me a new one.
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
They cannot deny you a replacement if you are in your grace period. Go back and say you demand a new phone otherwise you will just return it and take your business to a different tmobile store.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Go to another store and tell them you have touchscreen issues or overheating or something, that was going to be my Plan B if they didn't accept the return for the creaking. It was REALLY annoying so I know how you must feel. Take it back, take it back, take it back! I contemplated living with it because I'm not the type of person to complain and return things, but my OCD told me otherwise.
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
I would take it back and keep returning it until I was happy with it . Enough returns

from everyone and HTC will notice a pattern and maybe fix it .
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Agreed. This phone taught me to care more about the quality of device I receive rather than how I am being perceived as a consumer (they probably hate me already, but I won't see them for another 2 years when I am ready to upgrade anyways). :D
[HTC Sensation] xanderdad:
I'm going to visit a different store today. However I feel uncomfortable with the fact that I'd have handle it like this. Next up is a manager. I paid full pop for this phone and I'm getting the run around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkmarc:
Hello,

When I want to skip or pause/play a track with a double or single click of the headset button it only works when the screen is on.

I tried it with:

-PowerAMP

-Winamp

-Stock player with "headset droid(to assign buttons)"

-PowerAMP with "headset droid"

-Winamp with "headset droid"

All of the above work fine as long as the screen is on.

But when the screen is of for longer than 20 a 30 sec the "play" command becomes very laggy and the "skip" command stops working completely.

I was wondering if someone knows a solution to this problem.

Thanks
[Defy General] drmouse81:
Hi all

First of all, I am not talking about an A2SD partition or similar. What I would like to do is use an SD card formatted using Ext2/3 as normal "user storage" on my Defy.

Looking into it, people have tried and failed at this before. I believe there may be something inside the android code which expects FAT32. If so, I think this is a bad design. It can mount and use ext2/3, so why could I not use it for my data?

I am just backing up my SD card at the moment so I can experiment. I see no real reason it should not work (unless, as I said, it is hard-coded) so long as the permissions are dealt with correctly. Before I start, though, I was wondering if

anyone has managed to get this to work, and

does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks all
[Defy General] nepotu:
drmouse81 I assume the ext2/3 SD CARD partition won't be loaded automatically since the partition type is set to VFAT (/dev/block/mmcblk0p1) in /etc/fstab. Therefore you'll have to format your SDCARD first and then you'll have to update the entry in your fstab file. In theory it should work, but I haven't tested.

Try plug the charge cable in and see if it will power on.

Hello!

Before I want to root or upgrade my phone, I want to know if there is any possibility so take backup of all applications installed, settings etc?

I have spent a whole day setting up the phone, and I dont want to do that again.... :-)

I miss something like acronis og norton ghost functionality.

Also, when I do a ROM upgrade, will I loose everything? applications and settings?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Get Titanium Backup from the Market. (I'd strongly recommend getting the pro version!)

You can backup all installed apps and associated data and then restore them all after a hard reset or ROM flash.

Titanium is a VERY good app that does a lot more than just backup and restore, so the small price for the pro version is definitely worth it. (I am in no way affiliated with Titanium Backup ;) It's just proven invaluable to me on many occasions!)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testermax:

While watching a video, I noticed that in the top right corner of my screen there is a dead pixel. You can't notice it unless you look at the spot....so I don't think I'll try to exchange the phone.

After doing some searching, I couldn't find an app that fit the whole screen that fixes dead pixels but I did find a video on YouTube that may fix the dead pixel and runs in full screen.

Here is the YouTube video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvI0ZUPpdJI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I think it shows that as these devices (Smartphones) are becoming more and more a part of everyday life and do more and more, people want choices and android allows them to make those choices and configure their device they way that the users want and not lock them up in a little box like Apple.
