Hi,

Just noticed that my brand new S2 is showing that it only has 11.5GB of free storage out of the box.

OK, I know that the OS and apps are going to take up about 2.5GB as, yes, I did read the FAQ at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065995

..but should I be losing 4.5GB on a brand new S2?

Thanks for any info.

[Motorola Droid 3] stephendowney:
I use to have a droid 2 and I used it with the car dock with out any problems at all, My car had the aux input for the audio cable from the dock, so when ever my phone would ring or I would make a call, it would go through the cars speakers, Ok so now I have the D3 and the new D3 car dock, same car. Here's the problem, when ever the phone is in the car dock and you place or receive a call, by default the phone switches to speaker phone, and when in speaker phone mode it will not play through the speakers, and yes I can just hit the speaker phone button on the dial pad to turn the speaker off and then it will play through the cars speakers but I really dont like having to do this every . time,I NEVER had to do this with my D2. I have tried other car dock apps to see if this would go away but it don't. Any help or thought would be great.
[Motorola Droid 3] xxspark89xx:
Sorry man, but I've dug through and have not found any settings pertaining to that. It may be an automatic feature that has not been developed into an adjustable setting in Android 2.3.4 (Since its a new Car Dock App)

However, this may help you out.

http://ig88.cwfk.net/?page_id=96

It's a third party app that might work.
[Motorola Droid 3] xxspark89xx:
Actually, I think I found something pertaining to it.

In here: http://static.googleusercontent.com...lp/hc/pdfs/mobile/AndroidUsersGuide-2.3.4.pdf

On page 333.

Not sure yet if it applies to our Droid 3 completely, but it might. I don't have an AUX in port in my car to test it out at the moment.

Edit: It appears Motorola/Verizon left out the "Dock" settings under the general settings menu. Unless, it shows up when docked - idk yet.

If it doesn't, I'd try going into applications, "all" applications, select cardock or car home app, and clear data. This may restore the question that it supposedly asks you when you connect to the dock for the first time.
[Motorola Droid 3] stephendowney:
I found the problem and the solution.

Without any setting to change and all the apps I tried did not help, I decided to take a look at the dock and by that I mean take it apart and see whats going on inside. What I found was that where the usb car charger attached there was a circuit board, I am not an electronics guy but I figured that was whats causing the phone to automatic go in to speaker phone when connected to the dock, and I was right. That was the problem, and now for the solution, I had a car dock for a droid x handy so I took it apart as well, and I found that it did not have the circuit board, it was just a straight through put, from the usb connection on one end to the micro usb on the other end, the end that sticks up in the car dock that the phone connects to. So with a little bit of modification and I do mean little, I was able to swap them out, and now all is well again. Pretty ****ty that MOTO would do this and not give an option to change it in the setting though.

Hello everyone.

I just gave my beloved HD2 after almost 2 years and decided to move on to Galaxy s2.

What i would like to ask is:

What do you suggest to do on my sgs2?

I mean things like rooting and overclocking, apps and tweaks?

Everything is welcome.

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Welcome mate i too am coming from a HD2, it was a superb phone and served me well for a year and a half but the GS2 is unbeatable:D

I would definitely root your phone, there is so much you CANT DO if you don't, it's entirely up to you if you flash a custom ROM as the stock ROM is good but personally i run Cognition 1.15 and this is definitely one of the best there is for the GS2, do a search on this forum for tips and tricks, superior battery life can be achieved if you follow a few tips given, set CPU is recommended but not totally required,calibrate your battery and download some apps like Battery Monitor,juice defender plus, system panel, CPU spy,root explorer, titanium backup most are paid apps but well worth getting especially Titanium backup and root explorer.

If you've any more questions ask away people on here generally are friendly and helpful.:)
[Galaxy S II General] cris35soon:
Lol was something i was going to ask.also just got my s2 & also just come from my hd2.loving the speed of this machine and not customized it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
rooting it would be a good idea,,if u want to do stuff besides normal....and there is no need to overclock,,,,i dont think there is anything on android that this beast cant handle(1.2 Ghz dual core is more than enough for now),,people are under clocking this device to get better battery life,,,As for apps,it depends upon ur usage(if u r into ebook reading,download ezpdf reader,,if u r into mobile gaming,go to the gameloft website for hd games or market for normal ones,,etc,etc)....and for tweaks ,just search this forium,,u ll find a lot of useful stuff,,,

Could someone please point a guide?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] mjeshurun:
Once you root, I suggest you install these Root enabled apps:

1. MarketEnabler

2. Adfree

3. Root Explorer

4. Titanium Backup

Also these non-root apps are great:

ZDbox

1Password

iSyncr (to properly copy music including all ID3 tags)

MediaFix (incase any tags are still shown as "unknown")
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I have many of those apps too.

Why root,what's it do that it couldn't do before.
[Galaxy S II General] angelossssss:
What will i gain by rooting the phone?

I dont know the difference. The android roms i had on my HD2 were already rooted :D
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
You gain a roted phone and can choose your rom use rooted apps etc .

Or choose a custom rom from dev section with inbuilt root .

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Kevincod:
Hey,

Just thinking, anyone please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know both the tablet and the dock have a Lithium-ion battery

From my knowledge, to keep lithium ion batteries in the best state you have to keep them between 20% and 80%, and not under/over charge them. The dock kinda seems to contradict this, because its constantly overcharging the tablet. This is extremely bad for the battery and greatly reduces the life span and capacity. Think of it as a laptop that you have in the socket 24/7, if you do this for half a year, the battery wont last for more then 30 mins. This, in a way, is resulting in the same problem.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it, but isn't this a major design flaw? The dock should have some on/off charge switch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pokey9000:
It's not that simple. The Transformer, like every cell phone, laptop, and tablet using LiIon cells uses a charge controller chip that monitors charging current, pack voltage, pack temperature, discharge rate, and charge history to optimally control the power being fed to the battery from the charging input. The charge controller has a programmed hysteresis that keeps the battery from constantly charging (trickle charge) once it reaches its max capacity. Without a charge controller, the pack would eventually overheat and catch fire.

It is true that fully charged LiIon batteries will degrade in capacity over months to years. It's more damaging to the battery though to run it through a complete cycle (completely discharge). The best thing you can do for your battery without shelving the TF is to charge it every night to keep from unnecessarily running the battery down the next day.

In short, the Transformer can look after itself.

Also, this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Kevincod:
Thanks for your reply.

I might have used the wrong wording, I understand they have charge controllers to prevent the batteries from overcharging and exploding or catching fire. What I ment by overcharging was, charging it while the battery is already full, and undercharging - not charging it enough by letting it go into a deep discharge too often.

As stated in your link, "partial-discharge cycles can greatly increase cycle life, and charging to less than 100% capacity can increase battery life even further"

The dock keeps pushing it to 100%, and keeps it at 100% - reducing its battery life. Also, because you can not disable the dock charge, assuming you are constantly want to use the keyboard which I do, it will go into a deep discharge, also reducing the battery life of the dock. As often said, the best state for LiIon batteries is between 40% and 80%, this is hard to archive for both the dock and tablet due to it constant charging the tablet to full.

In order to preserve the best battery life, you must un-dock the tablet around 90% - and charge the dock whenever it reaches below 40% or so. Meeting both these requirements, while wanting to use the dock constantly seems like a burden. Not doing this, will rapidly decrease the capacity from my understanding.

Please correct me if I'm wrong though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] earlyberd:
I don't see why people worry so much about this. It takes a few years for there to be any noticeable loss in battery life on lithium ion batteries, and even longer for it to become a significant burden.

It took me five years of daily usage of my old Toshiba laptop to wear down the battery to about half its original capacity, and it's still usable with only 2.5 hours of battery life. If we assume similar rules would apply to the Transformer, after 4-5 years you could still achieve a maximum of 8 hours on a single charge. If anything, by that time you'd be more concerned about how sluggish the device feels when compared to the newest tech, especially when browsing the web.
[HD2 General] djechelon:
Hello,

I fell in the not-so-rare problem of the broken microUSB female plug on the motherboard of my HD2: the phone won't charge or sync at all.

After searching around, I found that quite a few people have gone into my same trouble, because the sync plug is directly soldered on the mainboard and is also the phone part that gets most of mechanic stress during the device's lifecycle.

In a few words: seems that almost all phones will eventually break.

I tried with HTC repair but they refused to repair it both under warranty and under paid repair.

I don't want to throw away my phone after I spent 550€ for it!!! I would like to find a way to revive it!

I currently have two options:

Replace motherboard by myself or with the help of an expert technician

Buy a Powermat charger to charge the phone again

Third option could be buying a Chinese external charger I found somewhere supplied with 3 spare batteries, doing cold swap of each battery when one discharges: not a smart option.

I can't currently find a motherboard for replacement, since the only one on eBay that the seller doesn't refuse to ship to Italy is software-bricked, and I don't have the tools needed to unbrick it.

Option 2 allows me to avoid opening the phone and avoid potential disasters, but it won't allow me to sync the phone via USB. Not even to HSPL it (I love running Android dual boot sometimes when I need to run a certain program unavailable for WP6.5/7).

So, since I really need to synchronize the phone with my computer's Outlook for Calendar and Contacts, and after telling you about my current options, what do you suggest me to do?

Do you think it's possible to sync to WMDC using Bluetooth? (I read that wifi is not an option)

Or, do you know how could I unbrick a motherboard without buying expensive devices? I can travel easily around my country.

I'm open to almost any idea, thank you!!Buying a new phone at its brand-new price is not an option
[HD2 General] orangekid:
what reason did HTC give for refusing to repair it?

If you didn't drop it or spill water on it how can they refuse warranty on it?
[HD2 General] djechelon:
Warranty refused because they say the defect is unrepairable.

Initially, when they refused warranty repair I thought "OK, it could be wear..." but when I saw the photos of how the plug is soldered to the mobo, I found it's a design disaster!!!! Even I know that the plug accumulates so much mechanical energy during lifetime that if it's not strengthened properly that energy will make the very small solderings crash. This is also why keys are not physically embedded on the mobo!!! You know you could break the keyboard because of wear

HTC then asked me to send the phone for paid repair but again the repair lab refused for unrepairable damage!! Incredible!!!
[HD2 General] orangekid:
this is bull****.

If it's "unrepairable" they need to send you a new phone...

I'd call back, that's why there's a warranty, for stuff like this.
[HD2 General] djechelon:
I've been "calling back" since April... we are now in July and nothing yet happened

Also, I just found that plugging the battery again and doing a hard reset shown that the touchscreen is not working anymore!!!!

I couldn't even sell the phone for spare parts once the digitizer is broken (by the way, not even a single broken pixel ever!!)

They sent me a mail today, "we are investigating"
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Ya HTC can be so stupid about that sometimes. It's funny on Sprint they would have switched out the phone no questions asked, but with GSM they don't want to do anything for you.

whatever that means I hope they do the right thing.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Man it sounds like HTC is giving you a load of crap, sucks to hear stories such as yours. HTC should just exchange your HD2 for you in m,y opinion.

You asked about how to get a main board debricked, I just sent you a PM with some information on that.

Oh and "we are investigating", just what is it to investigate. Your HD2 is malfunctioning because of a hardware issue and is still under warranty, they should replace it.

I like your avatar pic too it is cool.
[HD2 General] djechelon:
Just to tell you what it finished like.

HTC ultimately replied me "this device won't ever be accepter for repair".

I called a lawyer for that, because I just found that when I powered the phone on, the touchscreen was gone, and I have

proof

that the touchscreen was still working when I gave them the phone

[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
Just wondering if there are any know bugs or issues people run into when enabling voodoo. Last time I switched kernels to a voodoo one I got all sorts of apps freezing of shutting down and was not sure if it was the rom, kernal or the fact that I switched file systems if that makes any sense. I want to do a rooted stock ee4 with voodoo but afraid because of all the complications I had previously. It just made for a not so fun custom rom experience.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
No issues that I know of (Other than you must disable voodoo before you switch to a non-voodoo kernel).
[Verizon Droid Charge] coryj558:
FYI: I had the same exact issues as to OP, only they appeared after shutting down my phone to change batteries. The issues happened two weeks into rooting with voodoo and lagfix enabled.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jbcf05:
I am running the imnuts PBJ voodoo kernel and I haven't noticed any issues. Previously I was on the stock voodoo kernel and I don't remember having any problems, but the PBJ is much faster and better on the battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rememo:
I'm at just over two weeks running rooted EE4 with Voodoo Lagfix and a lot of apps being installed and uninstalled, games played, etc. No problems at all. Then only "glitch" I have is occasionally the home page appears blank when I return to it and it takes 10 seconds or so to refresh.
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
The only reason I was interested in the lagfix was bedside of that glitch in the home page. I wanted to reduce the delay so I tried everything even cutting out most widgets and going to 5 pages. When I tried voodoo and still experienced this I didn't care much. Everything else about the phone is fine for my current needs.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Sleek69:
The only issues I've had is my boot animation is really messed up and laggy ever since I switched to voodoo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] H3Dude:
Same here.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
It's the kernel that causes the lag in the boot animation. It's a known issue and a temporary fix would be to download a boot animation changer(app store) and change the boot animation. Since the kernel doesn't currently allow you to change the boot animation it will stay the same and fix that glitchy twitchy look.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Have you successfully used a boot animation changer on the Charge? I am interested in this, I can't stand the stock animation. In fact, I want to kill the animation alltogether. I was curious if the animation hides any text or info during startup.
[Nook Color General] monkeybone12:
I was installing the MIUI rom on the Nook when I had a lot of FC's. rebooted into recovery using the SC card, and wiped data. After doing that, it is now stuck in CWM, I cannot navigate or reset the device. I pulled the back cover off, and I see that the battery is not removable. I have held down power, click variations of all buttons, and it is still stuck. Any ideas? My google searches have not resulted in a similar issue, just people who can flash CWM but cant get out of it...

Ideas?

[Nook Color General] monkeybone12:
OK. Well, I can flash Roms, but I've been having issues with CWM. If I wipe ANYTHING, either factory reset, cache, or davlik cache, it simply locks up.

I'm downloading the stock software with root, and I am going to try again to install MIUI without wiping. Feel free to chime in with any ideas in the mean time.

Thanks guys!

What CM are you using? I tried CM and I had no luck. My EVO LOVES MIUI... My NOOK is hating me. It will LOAD, but can't download anything from the market. Tired flashing a rooted Rom:
