I have bought reasonably good Sennheisers for £5, so price is not a good indication of quality.

Can't really comment on the included ones though, I cannot stand canal earphones although these seem to be the least irritating ones I have tried.

These are the best earphones i ever had included (phone,media player..) I still prefer my Beyerdynamics but these are more than decent for the average joe
[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Mine too also came with just the USB cable, a socket adapter and some little headphones, no SD Card or anything really special.

I wasn't expecting much to be honest. Most of the money is made from accessories now so giving them away for free isn't in the best interest of manufacturers anymore.

I'm not complaining though, the phone in itself is more than good enough. I'll probably buy a case, and I've bought a 16GB Class 10 Micro-SD Card for £17.99 so I'm happy enough.
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
Sound like £5 earphones nothing to do with build quality, build quality is good but the sound is garbage , The iphone earbuds sound better then these

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colinicky:
My SGS has developed a fault :( 2 days ago I switched the phone off & the next thing I know is I get what looks like a battery laid on its side on the main screen, it appears for 15 seconds then dissapears for 15 seconds & repeats. I can find no way to turn the phone back on while it is like this & have resorted to reloading 2.3 Gingerbread but if once reloaded I then switch the phone off then the problem comes back.

Has anybody come across this problem before & knows how to cure it or is my phone knackered ?

I tried to add a picture of the symbol on the screen & I do not have enough posts to be allowed to.

[Galaxy S II General] TassaDarK:
Hi guys. We are in times of crazy rom updates, and when you update making a wipe, one of the big problems is you lose the icons order in the app list. I don't mean to icons in the home/launcher else icons in the general list of apps.

I know how to save the home icons and widgets disposition but is there any way to save/backup the order of the app list? I don't like alphabetical order or things like that, i personalize myself and is a pain in the ass do it every time i do i wipe to upgrade a rom.

I have been searching in the forums but didn't find anything.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] TassaDarK:
please anybody?
[Galaxy S II General] jameslfc5:
This would be amazing!

But in the meantime I normally screenshot every page before updating and save then onto the pc then I copy the order, it's not great but it works for now :)
[Galaxy S II General] TassaDarK:
Yep, but the order has to be saved in some system file, it must be there. It's annoying no one knows what file is :-(
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Its probably locked. Not available to us. :-(
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
the icon order and page layouts are stored in the app data of TwLauncher. you can backup its data with titaniumbackup and restore it later on. but be adviced that there might be side effects when restoring the data of an older rom in a new one.
[Galaxy S II General] TassaDarK:
Yes, i tried this but only saves the launcher/home disposition, not icon order in app list :-(
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
i guess you need to restore it after you restored all apps. if you restore the apps later on, their position won't be the same. at least i don't recall any problems with the applist order on my phone, and i make heavy use of folders.
[Galaxy S II General] Enyan:
I think it does, because when I wipe TwLauncher data the icon layout is lost and when I restore it they are where I put them. Maybe if TwLauncher is different between the roms it does not work? Anyway, the layout must be somewhere in the appdata, I think it is in the launcher.db file (/data/data/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/databases/launcher.db), you can view it with Root Explorer's internal SQL viewer -> menu_item

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] kwerdenker:
Hmm... this seems strange. I've done the exact same thing and haven't lost my folders and icon order through three rom updates. Just make sure you backup the data of "TwLauncher" in Titanium before you flash. On restore make sure you only restore data for TwLauncher and as heldchen said restore all your apps first.

P.S.: Just to be on the safe side: you do mean the order of the icons in the app drawer and not something else?
[HTC Desire S] Zero_uk:
Hi Guys,

I rooted my Desire S last night with the help of Alpha Rev, I'd originally only planned to install the standard HTC rom so i could get rid of all the crap Orange stick on the phone BUT it wasn't that easy.

Alpha went through fine and so did the root, once done i ran the image from the HTC website i found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 (first one in the list) and this installed ok but then i suddenly lost mobile signal, the wifi was fine but no mobile network. After 20 mins it appeared but then promptly went again 30 seconds or so later. This happened on and off for 20 mins so i decided to go back to the standard Orange rom and have another look. Again i downloaded it from the above link but this time got the Orange rom, now the same thing was happening on this one. I started to panic at this point! I had a search around and noticed some people thought it could be to do with the radio. So i downloaded the correct radio and tried again, still the same, signal on for 10-30 seconds then goes.

As a last ditch attempt i downloaded this rom - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122797 installed and now all is fine? I don't understand why it keeps loosing signal on the original rom yet on a cooked rom it works fine!

Thanks for reading, I'm quite new to all this so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xPuls3x:
I've been running CM7 RC1.2 for the past couple of days and I've noticed the battery draining extremely fast. The cell standby is using the most of my battery. I tried both the leaked MR2 and the OTA MR2 radios and have had the same effect with both. Stock with the MR1 radio was perfectly fine.

Should I try the MR1 radio with the MR1 version of CM or is there a simple fix that I'm missing?

(I would have asked this in the CM7 info thread, but I don't have 10 posts, yet. :rolleyes:)

is there a way to open another app when you tap on the standard asus weather widget?

i tried using tasker but couldnt find a way, any other apps that can do this?

i want ironically to open the accuweather honeycomb app just by tapping on the asus weather widget :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
this would be great. tapping it to open the weeks forecast.

i stopped using the widget because i noticed that many times when id come back to my home page, the numbers (say 89 deg) was cut off. it was weird, but half og the numbers would end up "cut off" on the screen
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dhamma110:
I have the same problem, sometimes it's cut in half. But the weirdest thing is: Since the last update the temperature is wrong,:confused: about 10 C.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jayson269:
Just to chime in...

I also have the "cut in half" issue often. On top of that I don't get the temp updated on schedule. I set it to every hour and it will randomly update but not every hour. It may not be random, but I haven't spent enough time to determine the pattern.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
My Samsung Galaxy S2 has such a widget, which opens the Accu Weather website, when being tapped on.

Search the market place, there's a free Accu Weather widget for Honeycomb with the same functionality, though the design isn't that nice looking for my taste.

It seems to be a bug in the widget, because the system logs say, the Accu Weather servers are unreachable. The widget of my SGS2 always reaches the same servers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Paradaz:
I used to have that, but since using ADW EX Launcher it's a thing of the past. It's almost as if the 'transparent' box which determines the size of the widget somehow becomes smaller so you can get the clean cut on the numbers.

With the ADW EX launcher, you can make the transparent box which controls the overall size of the widget a little bit bigger so you don't get the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
In my case the problem with the cut off numbers also didn't happen again ... don't know why. I don't use a different launcher, only a new keyboard. I use the Hackers Keyboard, because it has cursor keys, which come in handy, when answering forum posts ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hoang51:
Download "The Weather Channel" app. You can place a widget on one of your screen, tap on the widget to open up the full weather app. I have the said app and works well. Just that the widget isn't as fancy as fancy as Asus' weather app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
Call me paranoid, but I would NEVER install a weather app, that needs the permission to send SMS and make phone calls. Ok, on the TF that's not a problem, but it makes me wonder, what info this app is trying to spy out ... read the details HERE.

I would stay away from this app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbified:
After reading through so many threads about owners having issues with the battery life, I thought I'd start a happy thread!

I've had my SGS2 for almost two weeks now and I've always been happy with the battery life because it seemed to last a while.

I'm not up to the stage where i can just leave the phone alone (because I always want to play with it!), but I did an experiment 3 nights in a row to see how much power the phone drains in standby mode.

Each night, I'd charge my phone up to 100% and take it off the charger and then wake up to see how much power is remaining.

I left all the settings as-is and DID NOT turn anything off (eg 3G, etc).

The first night, I didnt touch my phone from 11pm and woke up at 7am to see that there was 97% battery left.

The second night, I left the phone alone at 11:30pm and woke up at 8am with 96%.

The third night, I slept at midnight and woke up at 8am to have 97% left.

If I average it out, it means that the phone on standby drains a lot less than 1% per hour. At that rate, the bettary seems like it can go with minimal use for at least two or three days. But it's something that I haven't been able to test just yet because I'm constantly surfing the net, testing out apps, etc during the day.

Admittedly, I don't have all that much installed on the phone that could possibly drain battery:

Friend Caster

Kakao

Whatsapp

Crazy Colours Live Wallpaper

Seekdroid

Official EBay

Battery Solo Widget

"Standard" clock

"Applications Running" widget

(I've got more applications, but the ones listed above are the ones that might have some sort of network connection and/or widgets that may need to update during the night).

I'm also using stock Vodafone Australia firmware in Melbourne city (in Australia):

Baseband: I900TDUKF4

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100TDUKF4-CL331615

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DUKF4

Does anyone else get battery life like this?

I'm not sure how big a role the network plays in these stats because I'm based in the centre of a major city.

As much as I hate the Vodafone bloatware, I've been reluctant to flash other firmwares like I did on my previous HTC Aria/HTCHD2/HTCDiamond because this one works so well with the battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
3% battery over night ?. I get under 10%, with all off what can be off, with no funky widgets, no data, no wifi, no nothing. Still phone wakes up in the night for unkown reason and 80% of battery is taken by mysterious Android OS process.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwonga:
I had Optus bloatware and I kept it for a week or two. I wasn't unhappy with the battery life but wanted to customise it and get root.

After flashing Lite'ning it was obvious how much less battery drain there was. I have since moved to Cognition and I am very happy with how it's going. I charge nightly, but I've never had the battery drop below 50%, and I do use the phone quite a lot. I wouldn't say I'm a heavy user (it's all so subjective) but I would have to be at least medium if not more.

I also love the Black Theme by Nitrozk and Pele, which is why I moved from Lite'ning to Cognition to begin with.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwonga:
That is a problem with the 2.3.3 firmware mate. Best switch to 2.3.4 ASAP!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
To answer your question, yes, I'm hugely impressed by the battery life.

Here's my latest and I'm still at 15%. I'm bone stock on KF3 with all the syncs set to every three hours and using Exchange push.

People blame everything (Wi-Fi Sharing, AOS) for their issues except what they do to their individual phone. Network signal strength plays a big role so does the individual router used for Wi-Fi access. But outside of that there's no other explanation other than individual configuration when identical phone's from the factory get such different results.

I don't participate in battery threads because they're pointless. Dozens of different people using the phone differently with different apps and settings on different carriers all talk in circles when there's no common basis for a legitimate discussion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unrealbr:
I'd call 3% overnight something impressive.

I'll try it out tonight.

I'm running 2.3.3 (No updates avaliable here in Brazil) and i'm not about to root it now. I'm getting a generic 7" tablet to mess around and learn how to do it properly.

So i'll be running minimalistic UI, Snowstorm, Battery Monitor Widget Pro on the desktop, with 2 screens.

HSPA+, bluetooth and wifi disabled.

Let's see how it turns out tomorow morning.

One thing i wanted was to flash in Samsung's oficial fw for Brazil, mine's a carrier customized one, and that's sort of pissing me off since i wanted to uninstall 75% of the garbage Claro has installed here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbified:
I'm using 2.3.3 at the moment and don't seem to have this problem at all?

I agree with you BarryH... having put the great battery stats in the first post, I wouldn't expect anywhere near that sort of level had I been playing with the phone or I had a thousand apps that run constantly in the background.

Having said that, it seems that there are the people who do have legitimate problems and then there are the people who simply have unrealistic expections of the battery in such a powerful phone. Kinda like buying a big truck expecting it to run on the same amount of fuel as a little car.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbified:
Let me know how you go Unreal... I saw on a thread a couple of weeks ago (not sure exactly which one now because there's so many of these "bad battery" threads) that someone had said that their phone lasted more than three days with minimal use.. and noone believed him! lol :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
How strange, I was about to make a similar thread. I had just gotten 3 and a half days out of my battery earlier tonight, no connection to charger since friday night. Minimal use of course, few phone calls and general tinkering, but still impressed with the standby. It was at 1% battery left so time to charge her up again. I charged my phone till the 100% alert came up, then charged it for another 45 minutes as I heard it stops it dropping immediately to 95% as some others have experienced. I've experienced similar too.

So after unplugging it, I pressed the power button to turn the screen off and haven't touched the phone till just now, about 6 and a half hours later. I pressed the power button and battery widget shows me 98% on the battery. If i was to leave the phone completely in standby and not use it, at about 1% drain per 3 and a quarter hours, that's about 13 and a half days standby! :p

I'm on 2.3.3 btw.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busky2k:
