I actually had the same issue on my gtab. I ended up downloading them on my PC first and then transferring them to my tab over USB. They worked fine then. For reason downloading them via the browser (both Dolphin and the default browser) would not work and would give me just a black screen.

Hey, I've tried everything to get my Xoom to detect my Canon 5D but I can't find out what's wrong. The camera gets detected by the system if I check dmesg but it does not seem to work anyways. I've got the official camera connection cable and my camera is in PTP mode but still no luck. I have tried both custom kernels and official ones. If anybody has got any clue how to get this working then I would be very greatful.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmobile1337:
While I have read that my camera (a Nikon D5000) supports similar functionality, I suggest buying a cheap SD to USB dongle. I just yank the SD from the camera, plug it in to the adapter and then connect that through the host mode cable. It works great that way. I use Astro to view the files as it has a built in image viewer which works great for this usage model.

I had the same problem with my t2i. i had rooted 3.1 and upgraded to tachi 3.2 with tiamat kernel and gallery wouldn't see my camera. the only thing that fixed it was to go back to 3.0.1 from motorola and relock then get the 3.1 ota update then the 3.2 ota update then unlock and root. i then flashed the tiamat kernel only(not rom) and it is working for me now. (locking/unlocking wipes everything)

Hi,

is it possible to build another bluetooth stack in sense roms ?

the cool bluetooth apps like wii mote and so on doesnt work with sense roms !

ive heard from something like that , but that was for HD2, they used the stack from CWM roms i think.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Upgrading the bluetooth stack from 1.5 breaks sense. The only way to get around it would be to make extensive changes to sense itself. Sense is closed source so only htc can make the necessary changes and they don't seem interested in making the effort.

There is hope though. You can wait until we get Cyanogenmod which has an up to date bluetooth stack.

yes but i want to keep sense ... i dont want CM :(

I installed Clockwork recovery so I could get rid of the Vodafone ROM and put on the generic 1.35.401.1 firmware.

This went fine, and I then put clockwork back on so I could root to use Titanium to restore my apps.

I would now like to restore the stock recovery, to prevent any charging issues and enable future OTA updates to work.

There is a recovery_signed.img in the rom.zip within the 1.35.401.1 RUU. Is this the correct file and is there a quick and easy (and 100% safe) way of getting the stock recovery back without affecting the rest of the phone?

[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Don't seem to be able to make my mind up with this phone thing, I came from an Iphone 4 to the SGS2, then I swapped back to an Iphone 4, believing its the best thing to do, still love the Iphone 4, but the guy I swapped with would like to swap back again, and guess what I am extremely tempted.

I miss, Wordsmith, the camera, the weight of the SGS2, the fact its not an Apple device and this place.

But I love the Apps on Itunes, the DPI screen of the Iphone 4, the sound quality of the Iphone4 and the battery life.

HELP ME, blow some reasons at me to come back to a SGS2 again ?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
If you come to a galaxy forum they will say do it. If you go to iPhone forum they will say don't.

Personally I like the galaxy I wont trade it for an iPhone.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Since you're experienced with both devices, and obviously know your own personal pros and cons for each, what makes you think that anyone here could be a better judge than yourself?!

Up to you - your decision:cool:

[Galaxy S II General] fenguinpower:
battery life is better in sgs2 once you have rooted and and.optimized. And you can buy 2 batteries for swapping and.also can change.to a bigger battery.
[Galaxy S II General] nonchipmunk:
If you want the phone you have, to be YOURS, then Galaxy S2. If you want the phone you have to still "belong" to Apple, then iPhone 4. And also whatever you ever want to do, the awesome XDA community is always there for support.
[Galaxy S II General] Swivige:
By a cheap Battery for the SGS2 and TADA one Pro for the Iphone is gone ... an it gets even better ... buy a scound one :D
[Galaxy S II General] Jeremy:
I was previously an iPhone 3GS user ( similar to iphone 4 in terms of sound quality).

Hardware wise, the iPhone has superior audio quality. However, with the right applications, the SGS2 can sound very decent as well (Poweramp + Equaliser).

As for battery life and screen DPI, the SGS2 is superior by far. Just get a good ROM and kernel.

If you miss the iTunes interface, use DoubleTwist. It is basically iTunes for Android. Kies isn't half bad either.
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Get a Nokia 3310
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Not sure about battery life, but no, DPI is obviously higher on iPhone, since that one's got a higher resolution display of smaller size.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Well, to be honest, the old Nokia 3330 (of which I own one) had a speakerphone sound quality that blew and and still blows out any phone on the market by far. Not to mention the feel and quality of the keypad.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Could always wait for the iphone 5 to deepen your insanity...
[Galaxy S II General] KaliKot:
Someone obviously hasnt compared the iPhone 4 sound quality to the 3GS. It's a very significant improvement bro.

I would say that an SGS2 with software enhancements sounds better than a 3GS even.
[Galaxy S II General] thakur90:

[Galaxy S II General] ilhantug:
Came from an iPhone 4 and I'm so glad I took the plunge. I was sick and tired of the same look and feel of iphone's GUI. I'm still holding on to my iPhone 4 but so far I didnt feel any need or desire to use it. Loving the S2 and Android.
[Galaxy S II General] itskapil:
Really cool suggestion !
[Galaxy S II General] itskapil:
Wow.. haha.. he's get 100s of 3310s for one S2 or i*hone 4, eh! Would never need to charge a battery, at least till the contract runs out -_-
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00431:
I done the same funny enough but I'll be buying the iPhone 5 when its released. I just prefer iOS, dunno why that is. May have something to do with everyone out there supports it more than any other OS and its very simple and bug free from my experience. The apps blow Androids away, but I do love my S2 and will be keeping it.
[Galaxy S II General] SugarySnack:
I find the sound quality of the S2 to be on par or just slightly below that of the iPhone 4 when you use poweramp + equalizer (coming from an iPhone 4). Is there any proof that the sound quality on either phone is better?
[Galaxy S II General] Spendy:
I have just gone from a Samsung Nexus S which I loved to an Iphone 4 16GB which I hated and then did a straight swap for a brand new Galaxy S 2 and I love it! I would never regret getting rid of the Iphone. Just wished Android had the great Natwest Banking app :-)

[Galaxy S II General] stevehy:

[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:

[Galaxy S II General] wondercoolguy:
What's the purpose of keeping two phones....do you keep the iphone in fear of being excommunicated by the hip and trendy's at the local Starbucks? Use Android every where else?
[Galaxy S II General] nookcoloruser:
If you are thinking of going back to the iOS device, at this point you should at least give it 5-6 weeks as by that time the iPhone 5 will have been announced/released and it may offer some serious improvements over iP4

I switched from iP4 to the Galaxy S II, looking for a change of scenery, and influenced somewhat by the reviews and previews of the GS2. I have other rooted android devices, and whilst I like the fact I can customize my Android device far more than the iPhone 4 and other iOS devices - I find Android requires far more micro management (I'm constantly checking how many apps are running in task killer and making sure things aren't eating my battery) whereas with an iOS device - it may be limited, but I at didn't have to become OCD with it.

The galaxy S II is a nice phone, but I do find marketplace on Android lacking of choice, often has apps that simply do not work for me - regardless of the message telling me it's compatible. At least on AppStore I know it will work - even if the app i'm downloading is crap.

I also don't like the way Android software updates are rolled out - with no real universal roll out and often waiting months for updates from carriers etc.

My worst bug bear is syncing to the mac however. Kies on Mac is utter rubbish, and it still doesn't even support firmware upgrading.

Now these are all my personal opinions and they obviously don't parallel everyone else's experience. But after a €550 experiment with the best handset Android offers - all it has done is left me assured that iOS and the iPhone is more suited for me and my usage.

Just different strokes for different folks I guess.
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
The rest of your post is mostly opinion but this is simply wrong. In fact "micro management" as you call it makes battery life worse in most cases. Android's built in task killer is more than efficient enough. If you use juice defender or any task killer just know it's placebo.
[Galaxy S II General] amavro23:
IOS 5 is far better than SG2

Switched from IP4 to SG2 and then back to IP4 and then back to SG2 and finally back to IP4 with IOS 5 beta 5.

With IOS 5 i don't miss the notifications , the implementation of IOS 5 is far better than android , you can see the subject of the email on the lock screen or the notification bar and the instantly you select the specific email.

SG2 has larger screen but not better than IP4 because with IP4 so would always see more on the screen using your web browser vs SG2 you would always see less and the fonts when you read a page are somehow blurry .

As for the battery life , even with the iOS5 beta 4 or 5 which sucks more juice of the IP4 battery i can easily use it for 24 hours vs SG2 with every rom (up to KG5 ) didn't last for max 16 hours (12 hours was the average ).

Finally the deal breaker for me was the keyboard , on SG2 i cannot type as fast as the IP4 and the reason for that was the auto-correction which even with smart keyboard pro was inferior the the excellent autocorrection / autocompletion of the iphone 4.

Because i often use my phone for work and use GMAIL ,the only reason i liked the SG2 was the integration with GOOGLE apps and this is the only thing i miss from the IP4 but then i don't have to reinstall the latest firmware from xda in order to make my phone even better or faster (every week there is a new firmware ) and waste more hours from my personal time , i just want to use a phone which simply works and only apple can do that these days with a minimum effort.

Battery life?

I'm yet to see an applephone that can pull off 3 days worth of use (mostly at a place with no reception), which my SGS2 can easily do.
[Galaxy S II General] Eltahur:
this, plus 2 spare batteries for my sgs2 has been my solution....if you can call it that.
[Galaxy S II General] daemien_:
lol, that's actually a perfect description of why a lot of iphone fan boys turn down android phones
[Galaxy S II General] on2a:
disagree re screen estate and browsing. Much more space on SG2. Battery life is user specific, suffice to say I regularly run over a day with mine.

Have you used swype keyboard? It takes time to get into it but once you are in nothing compares. Any other keyboard can go take a running jump!
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
A good reason: With SGS2 (and any other, or at least most android phones) you can have a spare battery and a dock charger with a slot for the spare battery. If you run out of power, just swap the battery and that's it. Put the empty one to charge and repeat the process whenever you need it. With and IP when you run out of battery there is no option but to leave it charging for a few hours.

There are hardware issues as well. I personally prefer a dual core processor over a outdated one.

The rest is question of choice: You might prefer Android over iOS or the other way round.

Final advice: If you want an iPhone, wait until the new one comes out, which should happen quite soon.

Or go for a Nokia and stop complaining! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] LawAce:
I came from the iPhone 4 - it's a very nice device so I definitely miss mine though I don't think I made a mistake.

I think it's just a case of 'grass is always greener on the other side' sort of thing. When I had an iPhone I longed for a good Android phone, now I have the best Android phone and want to know what's going on in the iPhone world again - I think I just get bored quickly though.
[Galaxy S II General] naddie:
I came from an IP4, but I sold mine for the SGS2. I don't really miss it, but the way I see it, if I were to go back to then iPhone, why not wait for the new iPhone?

If by then you are still in love with the SGS2, then get the new gen iPod Touch or iPad.

its up to you, i basically wanted to do it so i can keep a backup of all my apps. I know there might be ways without root but titanium backup does it so easily and clean. Plus there is others advantages to rooting, blocking ads, removing bloatware, extending the life of your battery. Plus its pretty easy to s-on and go back to stock, following and reading instructions is all it takes. Like i said its up to you how comfortable you feel doing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] rmartinez4:
Don't forget sprint now supports rooting as long as you got TEP you are covered. When something goes wrong bring your phone in to your local non corporate dealer.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
As alanmv567 mentioned: rooting is helpful for removing unwanted stock apps and performing more thorough backups. I'd recommend it as long as you're comfortable with the process (make sure you read it through a few times before you start).

I plan to root once I read up on how, and make sure it's possible with the Rogers 3VO.

Hey guys noob here,

I have done quite a bit of searching for this topic, but with no luck (DHD forums, Xperia Play forums & Acer Liquid forums), I apologize if this is in both the wrong section or has already been asked before.

I found a video: youtube.com/watch?v=CSa43zSaN3I (under 10 posts sorry) that shows an Acer Liquid playing an Xperia Play game (in Serbian apparently). The Xperia play has the same chipset/gpu etc as the DHD, and was wondering if someone could figure out how to get it working on my DHD? I have all the files for the game and the apk as well. The game installs fine, then when I try to launch it, it fails with obvious reasons I assume.
