No, no changes that you do in service mode remain stored after reboot. Pretty much immediatelly after you do the changes it goes back to original settings. So far I don't know anybody who came up with solution to this problem, unless f...ing Samsung realize that the volumes on this phone are way too low - especially when you use headset the phone is useless. Good old Nokia, I never had any problems with audio on their phones.

On my previous phone before SGS 2 (Samsung i8910) I was able to tweak the volume up in service settings, hopefully someone will find solution how to do it with SGS2.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
OK what the ---- is this stagefright business people keep talking about.

I've followed a number of threads where people argue about the correct settings, then claim that it either fixes or doesn't fix various video playback issues. Now I see the overcome 2.1 changelog has stagefright tweaks integrated.

I've never touched those settings outside of a stock overcome install, and I've never had any video playback issues including x264 in mp4 containers encoded at at least normal profile (I know its not baseline, as the files won't play on my atrix lol but it does play on my tab).

What gives?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Stagefright is the new media framework by google. They started it in Froyo and apparently they haven't even finished it in Gingerbread lol ;P. They are supposed to enhance playback of media files but due to the fact that it is still an unfinished products enabling all stagefright settings tend to break playback for some video formats. I have been conducting some serious testing to see which settings work and which are still broken. I reached a conclusion that stagefright-http (enabled by default in stock ROM as well) and that stagefright rtsp are the best working settings that smoothens video playback in streaming websites. Other settings are still unfinished and activating them tend to break video playback for some file formats.

I hope that answers your questions.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I got a few question on a few topics related to each other.

#1

Does a cable provided. Wireless router work as good a aftermarket one?

#2

My G1 work faster on my Linksys router at my old house verses my G1 using my cable providers wireless router. Any one else notice this too?

Now for the second part.

#3

Will the cable companys wireless router reduce the performance of Wi-Fi versus aftermarket wireless routers, Regarding Wi-Fi calling.

#4

How can I improve my Wi-Fi calling while at home?

I know if kids are playing online games Wi-Fi calling quality is horrible, If I hear anything at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe-retired:
The answer depends on how you had the linksys router setup verses the cable company provided one and on what IEEE 802.11 protocols are available from each router. Ignoring 802.11a, since the G2x does not support that protocol, 802.11n is the best protocol to be using, it provides the largest bandwidth, most distance, fastest speed, and most MIMO streams.

802.11g is almost as good.

I would also say that you want to be able to use wpa2 as your encryption protocol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Can I turn off the wireless and use my Linksys and get better performance? I need more wired Ethernet ports.

By the way both are G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe-retired:
I do not think you will get any noticeable difference in performance between the routers. Using the Linksys router might safe you a few dollars per month on the internet bill, if you can return the provided router and just use a provided cable modem.

Does your current internet plan provide the same down/up speeds as the plan you had at your old house? Where I am you can get plans with speeds ranging any where from 5 mb to 50 mb and if you do not ask for a more costly higher speed plan you get the 5 mb speed plan by default.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Most of the routers they give you with "internet service" are garbage. Aftermarket will almost always work better, provided you bought yourself a decent router.

Second possibility, is your new house isn't as friendly for wireless. I do networking for a living, so I've setup plenty of wireless networks at all different types of clients. There are some building, (or sometimes, even certain rooms) that will absolutely never get a good wireless signal. If the house is particularly old, they might have the inside of the walls with chicken wire. In the right (or this case, wrong,) configuration this can create a faraday cage. (google it, I'm not going to explain it here :)) Sometimes certain electrical conduits can cause enough interference to mess up a wireless signal. Hell, sometimes your neighbor can have something that's creating issues.

Only thing you can really do is play with router placement, the channel (I'd suggest staying away from 6, especially if you have a microwave), internal router settings. There is an app you can get from the market (free) called wifi analyzer. Use it, perhaps someone is using a wireless router on the same channel as yours in the area, and your getting collisions.

As for the second part, your kids playing games are saturating your available bandwith. If that didn't happen with your old router (and I'm also going to assume that your internet connection is the same speed/latancey. If it's not, well, then all this reply is worthless), I'd try to use that.

Just tossing out some ideas, got a few minutes to kill. Good luck.

[HTC Sensation] hurske:
Hi all, I have one question, do any of you have a armband for the sensation that you use? I've searched around,and all I can find are genetic ones, nothing specific for this phone.
[HTC Sensation] Mansn:
I would love to see one of these too. I use Adidas micoach a lot and need a good armband case.
[HTC Sensation] rala:
I bought this one last week. It won't let me put external link here yet (damn!), so search for "Black Sport Arm Band Case Cover For HTC Sensation 4G" on ebay.com.

I'll let you know how does it fit (or I put some pictures in here) after I receive it.

Hey Rala, please post what you think of the armband once you get it, would like to know.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
I got the same armband off ebay. It's well worth the cheap price tag. However, the screen is unusable while the phone is in the armband and I have to take my case off for it to fit. These aren't problems for me personally.
[HTC Sensation] hurske:
Hmm not good, I need a armband and also be able to use the screen, I suppose I could just use a huge rubber band strapping my phone to my arm.
[HTC Sensation] dicky.hillary:
Hiya,

I picked up on of these : Tune Belt AB83 Sport Armband for HTC Sensation from Mobilefun ( Can't post a link as yet sorry )

Its a little bit more expensive than the Ebay items but the phone is held perfectly and the the screen is fully usable. Its very comfortable too, I've had it on for a couple of hours when I've been out and about on my bike.

ps.. don't shoot.. although I've been a member for a couple of years and used some of the amazing ROMs and tips from this site.. this is my first noobie post !! eeeep

[HTC Sensation] rala:
Sorry for my late response, I was few weeks out of my home, where the arm band came. Have some pictures for you. The quality is quite high (considering the low price). It fits well, except the top hole for inserting phone (the phone is kind of exposed there). Also it is possible to use touch screen over the plastic protection in the front, but it is not very comfortable. You have to press it hard.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Hi guys, I resume this old post cause I have the same "issue" (to find a good ArmBand) and I just got this phone.

As you all can see from my signature I had a Desire till yesterday and I've already been through this research. The best one I could find at the time was an ILuv ArmBand made for IPhone 3Gs which costed me around 30€..very comfortable & practical, it actually looked like the one you can see in the post above myone. On the other hand my excitment vanished away after a few jogging session: made of neoprene it was not enough "water proof" & since I REALLY sweat VERY much when going for fitness, after a month or so I had to send my beloved Desire to the HTC customer care, where they informed me they had to replace the whole motherboard due to water infiltration & charged me around 170€ for that!!!!!!

So..my question to all of you is: IF you think you sweat a lot when you go running & you found a good armband to use in your activities, did you experience any similar problem? Which armband did you choose then?

Hi guys, I'm sorry for being at this again, but I want to know if there is a way to enable the Market on a wifi only Flyer?

Basically I'm in China and I can't get Zenonia 3 to open on my Flyer. I used an APK downloaded from my DHD.

I realise that there is no root for the flyer at this moment, so I can't use titanium back up or market enabler or 99 vpn. So does anybody have any ideas on how to get Zenonia 3/any other app working in a censored country?

Cheers,

[General Questions and Answers] Komodo Rogue:
Like others have already suggested, I would suggest considering android for three reasons:

1. I love Android

2. Right now isn't the best time to buy an iPhone 4 because it will soon be outdated by the iPhone 5 (but still a great phone for a couple of years).

3. If you're able to sign up for a new contract, there are some pretty amazing phones out now: (I assume you're in the US because you said $300) like EVO 3D, Sensation, GS2 (soon), etc.

Definitely going iPhone 4? It depends on the condition the phone is in... is the battery totally fried? Is the glass free of major scratches, especially on the display? Are there any dead pixels? Is the phone glued together because it was chainsawed in half? If you can't confidently answer "no" to any of those questions, you're taking a risk. Maybe a small risk, but still a risk. If it's ebay make sure the seller allows refunds.

Assuming there are no such glaring errors and it's just an average iPhone that has been used, $300 is a steal. I would buy it if someone randomly walked up and offered it to me just so I could resell it on ebay and turn a quick profit!

Hi guy,don't say like this,if a chinese see your post,he(she) will sad
[General Questions and Answers] Van Stellato:
Thanks for your advice,you say right .
[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
(if this is the answer you are looking for)

1. US$300 is a good price for an used/second-handed iPhone.

2. iPhone 4 is still a good phone even for the next 1-2 years.

Considerations tho' :

1. iPhone 4 will be outdated very soon due to iPhone 5

2. Android armada is in general better than any of iOS armada at the moment, especially Android in combination with the new flagships like Sensation, Galaxy SII or EVO 3D. I prefer the EVO 3D since it has a relatively bigger battery capacity.

Sure I read that somewhat. but really. what's the difference between them?

is it possible Calkulin could put release dates by those and changelogs around them?

I know the difference between radio,wimax. one's 4G the other is 3G? at least I think haha. but just really need more information. I don't like to update not knowing what I'm updating.

What's the correct why to flash them? for example, if I downloaded "EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_00 3 - Includes latest Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV", could I just goto "Rom Manager v4.3.2.4" and click "install rom from SD card"? will that work?

btw, where do these radios come from? why doesn't my phone automatically update these? do they automatically update when new OTA's come out?

PS SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS. I DO THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING ALL OF THEM. THANKS SUPER!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Basically just updated 3G radios; you could get better signal, and the date is at the end... 05.02 [may 2]. And you'd flash that file by backing up your rom in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash it. And they files do come from OTAs, and extracted so people can flash as they want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
so I just tried going into rom manager and install rom from sd card.... and attempted to install the EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_0 0 3, and nothing at all updated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
He can't post changelogs he doesn't have. Basically, we don't know, because they're not open source and HTC doesn't generally tell us what's changed. But we generally assume newer radios will improve something. That's generally the theory with anything newer, right? Of course, it doesn't always work out that way, which is why the older versions are still posted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, I would recommend flashing it from recovery, as sometimes rom manager messes up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
which recovery? I attempted clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 and it didn't work. I'll change over to the other tonight and try it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You wiped the cache and dalvik cache before flashing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
CWM 3.0 does not support scripts which the radio flashes need. You need to flash amon-ra or an older CMW to flash radios.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
I did flash amon-ra and it wouldn't work. is there a newer version on CWM that works? I don't like using an older version that was never built and designed when current software was released. all it does and up the scale of issues/errors.

okay, my mistake. I recall when I used CWM... it actually asked me to wipe the needed data.

on amon-ra. I have to do that manually. so I've learned. :-D yay. but omg. takes soo long to do this. haha. hope it helps me out with 4g and other stuff. haha

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:
My N1 randomly loses the cellular network and I see the triangle with the exclamation mark in the notification area.

I am not sure it's relevant but my N1 (a refurb from HTC) does have a dodgy SIM card slot since I need to stuff a piece of paper on top of the SIM card in order for it to be registered. Still once that's done and the back is on, there is no problem.

Anyway I will look down at the phone and see that I have lost the network. If I go to Mobile Networks/Network Operators I get an error "Error Registering on Network" or words to that effect.

The only solution is for me to either switch to Flight Mode, switch back to online mode and redo the search. The various networks usually then appear and I can choose my home carrier. A reboot of the phone also works.

This suggests to me that it has nothing to do with the SIM slot and it must be some other issues. I am running an unrooted phone on 2.3.4.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

Quadrant scores are and always have been entirely useless. While, yes, RFS is slower than EXT4, it's nowhere near 50% slower... it's simply that Quadrant doesn't work right with RFS.

Oh, and there's also the fact that you can double or triple your quadrant score with a single ADB command. Needless to say, that doesn't actually make your phone run faster.

The EVO line of phones seem to be a fairly robust lot. I left my table at a bar to fetch another drink and return to find my 4G in a pool of spilt vodka/sprite. It didnt turn on a first but once I took it apart (completely) and dried it out, it started it up fine. It also had turned (3) moisture indicators pink.

1. One indicator on the battery

2. Second in the battery bay

3. The third on another board inside the phone

Luckily it didnt have any water on the inside screen.
