Problem is likely your house or your router.

I have both the Galaxy S Captivate and the Xperia Play. No problems with wifi reception whatsoever here.
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
Nothing to extraordinary. A few tiny holes drilled in plastic, some little coax pigtail adapters running to a junction where there are other adapters in the back cover, plus leaders that run some flat metal tape/wire in specific lengths on the inside of the back cover to have an extra tiny bit of antenna. Not sure on how it will hold in regards to interference though of multiple antennas. If it causes poor results, I'll just be modding it to run to the external interfaces and then plug in a big antenna that sits in my window, or runs to my car or whatever. I may make a custom car-dock and desk-dock to go with it.

If/when I get around to finishing it, I'll post pictures.

I've noticed this. It is the same way for the cellular service. It's ridiculous how low the bars are. However, the actual data transfered is extremely high. I've done some research and it seems that the bar count is low for high connection. And the bar is high for ridiculously high connection. :)

End-users then have a choice as to what 'distro' of android they want (which happens to be free).

I know there's probably some legal problem with this, but why doesn't the smartphone market have the same liberty as the pc hardware market?

Does the Android OS even have licensing fees?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdcroid:
Android does have licensing fees for later versions I'm pretty sure. If not for the os then atleast for Gapps. Manufacturers have to pay licensing fees to Google in order to get access to the Android market.

I think in the future, phones without an OS, will be an option for consumers. However, it's a long ways off.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bamthwok:
Hi,

I'm very new to takser and I'm trying to figure out a simple task.

For example I want to activate WIFI when a specific application(lets say "calculator" as an example) is running and I want WIFI to stay on as long as the the calculator is active.

I understand that tasker only would do such kind of action as long as the application is in the foreground. But I want to keep WIFI on, also if calculator is active in the background.

So, I've found a plugin : locale app condition. This is compatible with tasker but I can't make it work.

Can anyone help me, how I have to use this plugin.

Cheers,

bamthwok
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] WithinArmsReach:
Late response, I know. But do you still need help with this? If you haven't already figured it out, if you have tasker you don't need the locale plugin to accomplish what you're after - that plugin is specifically for location based tasker profiles.

i.e. turn on wifi when you're at home, turn it off when you're x distance from home.

To accomplish what you're trying to do in tasker, just create a new profile with the condition "application-> calculator" and the task /action "network-> wifi state -> on" and you're done. Have an exit task that turns off wifi in the same way and you're all set.

For bonus points have an additional "if" condition that makes sure this profile doesn't fire if wifi is already active as it's safe to assume that you want wifi on regardless of what the calculator is doing.

p.s.

My phone isn't presently within arms reach so if I've gotten the exact names/locations of the functions you want in tasker wrong, then use some initiative and you'll be all set.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaui:
I was wondering. My dialer app (stock unrooted KF3) is behaving weirdly so I decided to check if factory reset would make it better, but that opens for a question.

When factory resetting (Settings -> Privacy), will my current firmware be replaced with factory one (KE7) or will it wipe everything and put KF3 back up?

Also, if the current firmwares dialer APK/system file is corrupted, will the factory reset replace it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mljjlm:
It's just the same as wiping the data-partition I think
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Whatever the current firmware is on the phone factory reset restores to as installed .

If you flash firmware then you wipe the firmware on the phone and replace it with new .

If its KE7 from the factory and you flash KF3 firmware then the process has wiped KE7 .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaui:
Okay thank you, so the answer would be KF3 would be on the phone if I did a factory reset.

Alright, how about the Android apps (dialer APK/system files)? Will they be replaced with new ones or do I still have the corrupted one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You will have the full package with data wiped and new apps installed including new dialler .

a workaround for the sms receiving problem is to install the app "sms popup" from market. for me this works great.

I'm hoping that a dev such as Frooty would take a look at this and apply his modifications. There is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104051 but it doesn't work on the Infuse.

Edit: I just realized that it pretty much works ON Infused v2. I never tried it on other ROMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
meh, it works ok. no flash though, i wonder if that could be fixed. i still have to see what mode actually work, on the captivate the modes above 5mp were actually saving in 3.2mp or something.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EternalMelody:
What ROM are you on Dani? Flash works, auto-flash doesn't on mine. 8mp works, I checked the resolution of the file and it's the correct resolution.

edit: turns out that anti-shake doesn't work with auto-flash. So you can have auto flash if you turn anti-shake off.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
infused 2.0.0 stable.

I think the quickview app or lib messed up the flash, I couldn't even use the flash with a 3rd party flashlight app. I removed quickview and restored the infuaed camera app and the flash works again.

does the app work without quickview? i wonder why that app and lib are included in the .zip
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EternalMelody:
I haven't tested without quickview. I have both the app and lib in my system.

Hmm i tried it and flash works even with anti shake for me... also i know its not meant for our devices so it should be glitchy/buggy, but is it only MY infuse? or your video is off-sync even on 720p, also 1080p recordind actually records it but the screen is black until you hit the record button?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EternalMelody:
It's auto flash that doesn't work with anti shake. Manual flash works. Also, 1080p records but the resulting file is in 720 p.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narkot:
As most of you do I have space problem with the N1, and there is something I dont understand

inside /mnt directoy is obb, sdcard , asec and secure.

Now to my understand my entire sdcard contents is under "sdcard" directory

however both "/mnt/asec" and "/mnt/secure" are outside that directory and they contain apk's and some other files.

Here is my delima if application gets installed on the sdcard it still dumps the apk files in the "asec" directory which mean it doesn't matter if i install the application on the sdcard it will still take alot of space.

Is this correct and if so can i create a symbolic link the directory and dump in the sdcard itself instead of wasting viable internal memory space?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, you're wrong. /mnt/asec/ mounts on /sdcard/.android_secure. So the APKs are on SD card. And you can't properly link the /data/data/ or the /data/dalvik-cache to FAT, the apps won't work - or the phone will crash when you unmount the FAT.

This is why there is Darktremor's A2SD/XPART/Link2SD/many others.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narkot:
ok.

But how come if uninstall application I get free space even though they are on the sdcard?

edit: Or rather the bigger question is that i have plenty of space on my sdcard as i install more and more application some of the application space creep into the internal memory is there a way to know what is going on and how to prevent that space from being occupied in the first place.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can't.

Application space is split into:

1) APK. (this is the APK itself - the installation file)

2) Data. (this is the data that the app creates and/or stores between and during uses)

3) Dalvik-cache. (this is a space that system uses to run the app)

Each installed app has all 3 parts.

Whatever you do on stock or CM7 ROM, you can't get parts 2 and 3 to SD. The only way to do it is using the add-ons mentioned in my previous post - Darktremor's A2SD/XPART/Link2SD/many others. They all do the same thing - given additional EXT partition on SD card, they selectively move any of the 3 parts for any app to the EXT partition, freeing phone's internal memory. Of course, if you don't have EXT partition on your SD card - you need to create it, repartition the card, to be able to use any of those add-ons.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I just sold my G2X on Ebay and I took a pretty good hit on it. I lost more money on this phone than any other phone I've ever sold. Had I known this in the beginning, I would have never purchased it as I like making good investments and usually always sell my phones after 3 to 5 months. My G2X was in mint condition with absolutely no scratches to the display or body. I only got $280 for it with free shipping so in reality, the device sold for about $270. I also laid my 100% feedback rating on the line with a garonte of a non buggy device that has never rebooted or froze with minimal screen bleed. Does the G2X have that bad of a name to drive the resale price down by $270? That just doesn't make sense considering I sold my Vibrant for $310 eight months later.

To the people I have had intelligent conversations with over the past 4 months, ill see you around if we ever happen to own the same phone again.

Not really a burden. It just didn't do me any good sitting there. I'm just trying to understand why this phone dropped in valuevso much. It doesn't make sense. After 4 months you should be able to sell your phone for about $150 less than retail value. I even stated it was bug free and I would lay my 100% feedback on the line. Its not like the G2X is a bad phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Well, I see where you're going with this... I wouldn't of sold it for $270. I'd rather just keep it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Here was my dillema. I am definitely buying the GSII and I'm going to purchase it on a contract so I can keep my rates when ATT buys T-Mobile. I have a feeling there going to tell everyone who's not under contract to go **** themselves. I did think about selling my Sensation and using my G2X until the GSII gets here but in the end, I would have sold my G2X either way whether its now or next month. I was affraid if I waited to long, the value would drop even more.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
First, AT&T will never get it's grubby little paws on T-Mobile! NEVER I say Never!

Why is the value going to go up in a month or two? Do you have any fair market data to back this statement up?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I plan on selling mine when the new Nexus comes out. I'm not even gonna risk it with the Galaxy S 2. I absolutely can't stand Custom UI's. I love Stock Android, and timely updates. The G2X had one of those things. haha.

My dad got lucky, and got a G2X for only $50! He picked up the floor model at this cellphone store, and oddly enough... It was in PERFECT condition. They had install in Invisible Shield on it before it was put on display. He has no screenbleed, and no freezing issues. -.-
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I don't like custom UI's either but I use ADW on top of everything so it doesn't really matter whats under it. The reason why I like using ADW on top of Touch Wiz is because TW brings the very good features to the table that is not on stock Android such as a better messaging client, better email client and better contacts list. I love being able to swipe on contacts to call or message them and I also like the idea of having all of my controls built into the notification area.

When it comes to updates, Samsung has been the best with releasing them out of any other manufacturer since the release of the GSII. I think it's already received about 5 updates. Samsung has changed gears and there pulling away from the other manufacturers. They realize how important mobile technology is and therefore are putting more resources into there mobile division. If you think about it, Samsung probably has more money and more resources than any other Android manufacturer. Samsung is being highly innovative now being the first manufacturer to add hardware acceleration to there browsers. I also like how the other big manufacturers are looking to lock their devices down while Samsung is giving phones to devs so they can start developing for them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I love Samsung's hardware, but I hate the build quality. I like having weight to my phone. Maybe when the Hercules is released, I can give that a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I had a similar experience when I sold my Mt4g. However, it took a hit after the AT&T takeover announcement, which would likely make TMo devices obsolete if it goes thru.

My frustration with the G2X is that it was represented by TMo as being compatible with the AT&T 3-4 g data bands, and then it turns out not to be (unless there still a possibility they are there and could be activated with an appropriate baseband).

I think there is still an overhang in the market for used TMo devices for that reason. In addition, as the price for buying the phone with a data plan goes down, it will also spill over to the secondary market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Segnaro:
It went down after Sensation came out. Then they started the free on contract sale.

People paid the $200 ETF and put them up on eBay thus further lowering prices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
1. Technology goes down in price every day, the next generation of phones is faster, better, and cheaper. Just the technology, not talking about the discount for used goods, which is also a factor. Amazed you don't get that.

2. You can buy a brand new sealed G2x for about 425 or lower on Ebay (from well established sellers, not a scammer)..... Just because you overpaid for your phone to be an early adopter, does not others do the same thing. Buying a phone in the first 30-60 days as an outright purchase is gonna cost you....as you should now know.

3. Smart phones are now becoming a glut of old devices. With every new phone sold, is a pretty decent older smart phone that enters the market. More supply = lower cost for then entire sector.

4. A decent low-mid end PC (486 days) used to cost 2000. A decent PC now costs 300. What you expected before, is gonna change.

Have fun
