[Galaxy S I9000 General] MRWRANGLERS1:
I have a verizon galaxy s. When the phone is turned on it shows the samsung startup display. Then immediatly goes to the android system recovery <2e> and highlights reboot system now. What do i need to do to get this usable again ? Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Pretty sure the Verizon phone is not an i9000 galaxy s. I would post in the specific forum (Fascinate) but it likely involves reflashing a stock or custom rom via Odin. I am guessing stock?

[Galaxy S II General] xomx:
Do you think that SAMSUNG will upgrade GS2 to ANDROID 4 when will be available in Q4 2011 ?
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
Yes. One of the things to come out of Google I/O this year was a commitment from the big manufacturers to support Android updates for a defined period of time (obviously, hardware dependent).
[Galaxy S II General] steviewonders:
Ye i reckon so. Even if there are hardware requirements, the SGS2 will definately be up to scratch. I have heard the 4.0 will adjust to the hardware anyway so it shouldn't be a problem either way.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
The official Google policy is that all phones will qualify for updates up to 18 months from launch date .Providing the hardware is compatible .Samsung have agreed to this .

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Android 4? Still haven't gotten the 2.3.4, and Android 4.0, and that in Q4 this year? Am I reading it right?
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
In case you are thinking "4.0 is too fast because we haven't gotten 3.0 yet", 3.0 is Honeycomb and a Tablet only release. 4.0 is Ice Cream Sandwich and is supposed to unify both Tablets and Smartphones.

Anyway, version numbers by themselves mean nothing since they are arbitrary values given by humans. For example, Firefox 4 came out not too long ago and we have 5.0 now.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yea I know that. Just didn't know that there weren't any version in between 2.3.4 and 4!
[Galaxy S II General] RayeEarth:
Hoping to get it ASAP on my phone!

It is rumored to be a really great change!
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
And even if samsung don't, which they should, cm or someone else will!

I am sure the specs are upto par, that's one of the reasons why I chose this phone!
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Next version of Android will have onscreen keys and hardware keys will be unsupported, just like on Honecomb.

So even if Samsung updates SGS2, we'll be left with a useless hardware home key and screen space will be lost for software keys.

Phones that run the next version of Android will be designed for that, with no hardware keys and extra screen space for the soft keys. On older phones like SGS2, it'll just look silly.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
/me reckons that should be easy enough to sort out... I'd bet that either

- existing phones get support for hard-keys

- Samsung codes their own support for the keys, in order to keep their customers happy.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
THEY WILL. They wouldn't haveput 1GB of RAM in this phone, unless they wanted it to have a "shelf-life" of more than a year. It probably won't be fully supported (because 4.0 is rumoured to to be for 720p displays and whatnot) but it will definitely be supported.

Android isn't like iOS, where as soon as the next version comes out, the older ones are immediately made obsolete. It's much more versatile than that.

And although it will be built around no hardware keys...it can't be completely built without them taken into consideration! What happens to volume keys and the lock button? The three buttons almost every single (if not every single one) Android handset has...

It'll be a similar situation to the one at the moment. The SII is released, and the S1 is given Gingerbread because it's still very popular. The S2 is more so, so I rekon at the release of the S3, we'll also get Android 4.0

SO excited. It's what android needs to continue eating away at the stupid domination of iOS/Apple.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
It's easy to put something in the kernel to support the hardware home key like you say, but what about the multitasking key in Honeycomb which'll likely be in the next version too? There's no key in SGS2 for that... That'll have to stay on the screen and take precious screen space, probably together with soft home and back keys... Not to mention the even for today low SGS2 screen resolution.. Next version of Android on 800x480? Forget it...

It'll probably work, but it'll be silly... You'll want to get a new phone that is designed specifically for that...

Not to mention the hardware acceleration features that'll be coming which current hardware likely doesn't support. Like, Honeycomb seems to only work on Tegra. I don't know if it'll run on current version of Exynos used in SGS2...

So not only will it look silly, it'll probably run slow too.. We'll all want to get a new phone for the new OS.. That's what these things are designed for, to make money magically disapper from our pockets and appear in their pockets... :)
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Remap one of the hardware keys to the multitasking key.

And as far as slow, i would hope that a dual core 1.2ghz cortex A9 would deal with it! The gig of ram will help.

And as far as hardware acceleration, i would think that google will expand the support to more than just tegra, that's half the point.

Honeycomb is just a limited stopgap as gingerbread would be awful on tablets!
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
We'll just have to wait and see. If it all relies on missing hardware buttons then maybe Android 4.0 won't be fully compatible with SII, but if that's not the case, i'm sure SII will be upgraded to Android 4.0. If it won't be fully functional then i wouldn't want it on my SII just for the purpose of bragging that i can run a crippled Android 4.0 on my device. I'd stay with Gingerbread or buy a native Android 4.0 device.
[Galaxy S II General] kotaro_14:
I wonder if it's possible to port Honeycomb onto SGS II...

I mean it does have the Specs to pull it off.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
kinda off topic, but this is the best (and most useful) place to ask this.

What exactly OR IS rumoured/expected in this Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update?

I know it's meant to be a

- Big one that integrates 2.3.4 and 3.0.

- Rumours of hardware acceleration?

What else that's "big" or what new features are expected to be in this 4.0 update?!!??!?!
[Galaxy S II General] antiochasylum:
Everything in this thread is here-say. Where are your google release documents proving on-screen keys? Let me guess, your cousin's, uncle, brother has a buddy who knows the janitor at google right?

No one here knows what 4.0 will entail. Unless you work for Android team and are leaking stuff out.

So please stop posting crap, unless it is factual. Oh wait I forgot its the internet, everything is true. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] demonofsteel:
Short answer is yes, our phone is way more than capable to run Honeycomb without any issues. I run it on my Nook Color (which's hardware is not even close at all to the SGS2) and it runs great.

Long answer is no, you won't be able to use it correctly since you would have to build and compile drivers yourself and then integrate them into HC (unless you find the drivers from a similar model, but good luck with that one).

On top of that, you won't want to do that since there's no phone application on HC (maybe on the 3G models, but there's not such a thing in the WiFi only models and neither on the HC SDK).

And yes, I'm sure we'll get ICS on our SGS2, it would not make sense at all not to get it on such a powerful phone.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
All I can say is that if it won't be on SGS2 because of it rendering hardware buttons obsolete, then it basically won't be on ANY current phone.

As usual though, the rumour mills will be working overtime with pointless and unprovable statements like that. You'll have to wait and see.

And for what its worth, I definitely believe the SGS2 will get it (and possibly even the SGS1). Remember that no two android phones are ever the same in terms of OS anyway.

Edited to add: might not be Q4 but it will definitely get it.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Pretty sure it will have andriod 4.0 but probably wont be that great since 4.0 is built with 1280x720 in mind.
[Galaxy S II General] Croak:
No, 4.0 is NOT built with 12x7 resolution in mind. It's resolution agnostic. It's processor agnostic. It's button agnostic. It's portrait/landscape orientation agnostic.

SOME Froyo phones and ALL Gingerbread capable phones are supposed to be able to run it, as are Gingerbread capable tablets, along with Honeycomb tablets.

It's a one size fits all OS, and the whole point of the "Grand Unification Theory" of ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] robt772000:
Yes thats what I am hearing.

I also hope that the new Nexus, although sprouting no hardware keys is just a SGS2 with 4.0 onboard. More like the NS was just a 2.3 version of an SGS1.

I like the idea of an adaptive OS that doesn't need optimising by devs as it optimises itself. I bet I can get it to work on my N1.

Just like say Windows 7 has to adapt to either a desktop or laptop or different components.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
I hope so. Google "ain't no Apple ****t" just releasing the next firmware and (more or less) forcing you to splash the cash on a new iPhone!

Backdating software is where it's at!! :p
[Nexus S General] mindwalkr:
Just wanted to share with you guys...

I have a Nokia 5800 XM which I've taken to concerts to get some clips which come out with decent audio but poor video. So the last one I've been too I decided to take my new Nexus S and I was quite impressed with the video quality (even though you can't zoom in). But then when I heard the sound... it's below fart quality. Unusable... I wonder how other phones fare on this! The Nokia 5800 XM definitely kicks ass with sound recording except for the sub-par video...
[Nexus S General] sagech:
Flash a kernel that has voodoo to fix the sound recording problem
[Nexus S General] gunstar3035:
If you want good recording in the dark and great audio get an Xperia Arc, it's camera sensor was designed for dark environments.

I owned the Arc for around 2 weeks, then traded it for a Nexus S. I didn't really like the Arc much, the hardware was a bit of an issue for me. But as far as the camera goes, its tops.

[Optimus 7 Accessories] camico:
I'm very interested on the matter, could you please let me know how you can switch from one sim to the other with the LG Optimus 7.

Do you have a dedicated WP7 application to install or the phone automatically detects the dual sim adapter?

Please let me know.

Thanks.:)

Can you tell me please, how you switch between the sim cards. Because I have the Magicsim 28th but I can't switch between the SIM cards.

Thank you
[Optimus 7 Accessories] RHOUSMAN:
Have you found the stk (sim tool kit) menu?
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Senfy:
No i didn't find the STK menu.

I thought Windows Phone 7 don't has a STK ?
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
What's the deal with this? Looking for a dual sim adapter for my girlfriend who has this phone.

[Optimus 7 Accessories] Danieldewsbury:

Got it from www.magic-sim.com

[Optimus 7 Accessories] marios.g:

Hi I got the Adapter for my HD7 Pro and i cant find the stk menu.

Can anybody tell me where it is, or tell me how to change the sim.

I requestet support from the vendor but they say if i cant find the stk, i should have to change to android ?! wtf

Please help :)
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
They may be right....what firmware you running?
[Optimus 7 Accessories] erroratseek:

an mango: 7.10.7720.68
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Yea I'd guess they're probably right. From my understanding some newer windows versions have stopped supporting stk.

Your best bet is getting over to android as it works real well on my setup. I'm on 2.3.5 if that helps?

Good luck.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] erroratseek:
OK, i think i try another Adapter, this time a analog one, maybe this works

Thank you for your fast support
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
No probs... Although I'd be aware that no dual sim adapter will work without an stk menu. So your only real option is to change firmware if you want dual sim capabilities.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] erroratseek:
If i understand ist right the analog adapters Change the sim by turn the device off/on.

for me that's enough. I want to use my business card the most time and only change when I need silence from my customers ;)

I try this the next Days and Report here.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Sounds good although I doubt an old analogue dual sim will work on the HD7
[Optimus 7 Accessories] erroratseek:
yes!

I found a solution to get the 28th magicsim adapter to word

1. Put the adapter in a phone with stk (I took a Samsung sgh-d500)

2. On sim card one save contact name:001 number:001

3. On sim card two save contact name:002 number:002

4. Go to the dual sim stk menu an change "dual mode" from stk to 007

5. Now you can put the adapter in your WP

To change from sim1 to sim2 call 002 and after few secs hang up. Now turn your flight mode on and off.

Now you the phone is operating sim2

Backward the same way but call 001.

Step 2 and 3 might be optional, i read anywhere that saving the numbers would help.

5. To reset the adapters 007 mode save a contact, name:007 number:007

The contact wouldn't saved

Hope my rusty English wasn't too bad :-)
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Brilliant! It's alive!
[Optimus 7 Accessories] erroratseek:
I switched my SIM several times and now everytime i call 001 or 002 to switch, the phone vibrates and a few seconds later the sim changes without using the flight mode. AWESOME :)

If there is a way to get the own phone number displayed it would be perfect.

AMAZON informed me that my analog adapter is on it's way, when i get it i will test it an post my experience here.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] marios.g:
Danieldewsbury it works on lg e900 optimus 7 running mango? I suppose you mean yes.

So STK menu where you can find? In settings there is not.

Or you meant it works with 007 (fast switch) procedure (erroratseek post)?
[Optimus 7 Accessories] erroratseek:
No there ist no STK, it in 007 Mode (had to set to 007 with an old samsung sgh-d500 with stk)
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Super CHP:
Many Thanks for your post.

After few months of use, please advise if this is still working perfectly?

Actually, I have bought the 23rd-a version for an HTC 7 Mozart. I have used your procedure. It is working fine at home, but as soon as I move (1 or 2 miles), it stop working (my phone says the SIM is not Valid).

Looking forward reading from you.

dual sim issue

Hi

I have switched to dual mode (007 instead of stk). Unfortunately when I dial 001, 002 I can not switch sims and when I dial 007 I get an 'incorrect number' voice. Therefore I can not switch sims or reset dual mode. I am stuck on sim2. Does anyone know how to fully reset the dual sim adapter?

Galaxy S2 "Increase the microphone for incoming calls and outgoing" (excuse me for the translation but i m italian).

settings:

Enter the numeric keypad of the phone the following command: * # * # 197328640 #*#*, A screen with the following items:

Service Mode

Click on the item

[5], then click AUDIO

[1] NB (Voice Call)

[3] and then on SPEAKER VOLUME

Enter the following values :

SPEAKER:

[1] SRC Speech RX Volume I put:

* Lvl 4: 95

* Lvl 5: 100

[4] DST TX Speech Volume I put: 98

TO ENTER THE VALUES ON PLUG VOICE YOU WANT CHANGE, BY CLICKING THE SOFT LEFT THAT IS ON THE DISPLAY AND THEN CLICK ON KEY INPUT.

AFTER ENTERING VALUES, RETURN BACK MORE 'TIMES TO RETURN TO THE VOICE HANDSET!

THE SAME APPLIES ARE FOR HANDSET AND HEADSET!

HANDSET:

[1] SRC Speech RX Volume I put:

Lvl 4: 90

Lvl 5: 100

HEADSET:

[1] SRC Speech RX Volume I put:

Lvl 4: 90

Lvl 5: 100

CLICK ON SOFT LEFT BUTTON THAT IS ON THE PHYSICAL AND PRESS "AND".

IN THIS WAY WE HAVE SAVED PERMANENTLY SETTING THE AUDIO CALL!

With these settings will have an increased audio for incoming calls and outgoing!

The values could increase beyond those I mentioned but it could distort the audio!

Make a test x to see your opinion what are the best settings if you want!

Note: each time you reboot the terminal the following settings are lost!

Find a way to save these settings in your rom and keep them permanently without losing on every reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] JF-GINO:
I have been searching for a solution to these settings being reset after boot for awhile now. Has anyone got a clue as to where these settings are modded? I think that the servicemode.apk saves the settings in a file somewhere???

/data/stream_earpeiece.txt

/data/stream_headset.txt

/data/stream_bluetooth.txt

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TractorMatty:
This is a minor issue, but I tried to sent an SMS message a few days ago but it did not go out (due to network congestion I believe) and so the usual message icon with clock appeared indicating it was pending. It then sat in the conversation window with that pending icon and there appeared to be nothing I could do to force a re-send.

With the original app, I believe you could press and hold and select re-send or something similar. Whilst I could forward it that's not really the same thing - as that would send another message and leave the original pending.

I eventually forgot about it, and it was then automatically resent 3 days later - after a reboot.

I could not find any mention of this in either InsertCoin thread, or Seo’s one about the modified Sense 3.0 apps. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

(I’m using InsertCoin Stable, 1.0.8, A2SD+ version with 1GB Ext4 partition - everything else is just fine.)
