[Motorola Droid 3] waitwhatwhat:
Progress!

I'm now in a sort of mini setup. However, it still fails at a location services consent checkbox list (with com.motorola.setup)

This mini-setup was able to setup wifi and a google account, and I can read google email (when it comes in and notifies me) and from there click a URL and go to the browser. I can access the setup of each of those programs as well. But I can go from there to a general settings list, and hitting "Home" returns to the location services consent checkbox, which fails and doesn't progress.

Thanks for the help though, even if I don't succeed....
[Motorola Droid 3] waitwhatwhat:
More progress....

From the web I'm able to load up market and install adw launcher. From there I should be able to get into settings....and we have joy!

Thanks a million... I'll report back which packages I moved which weren't on the now generating safe list
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] withbloodskies:
The first thing, I'm curious if anyone is able to mess with this.

Its missing Numbers I think, nothing shows up on my weather. Its a very nice font and a little hard to read.

So I'm curious if anyone is able to make it a little easier to read and add numbers to it?

About size, is there a font size changer of some sort?

http://db.tt/2yAR9v7

If anyone could do this I'd appreciate it alot. If you can't that's fine, or if you could find a font sizer changer too.

On mtg S1, the call volume was just horrible, could not hear callers well enough. It's only marginally better on S2. Any way to beef it up?
[Galaxy S II General] raxio:
Same with the headset volume. I first blamed my wifes carkit when she called me. But I was wrong:(
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Try Volume +

[Galaxy S II General] madmaximillian:
it's been 6 months and this problem hasn't been fixed. Nor will it. Suck it up or buy a working phone
[Galaxy S II General] carlitos66:
Volume + doesn't work on call volume and on other audio applications crashes constantly. Volume on SGS 2 is the wors't feature of this otherwise grat phone....

Some people report that 2.3.5. firmware increases volume. When official update comes to UK unbranded phones I will check the audio settings and will see.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Never had a low call volume on KF3, nor having in KI3. Well it's not loud, but still no way it's too low, like SE W series devices. However the Headset volume in a call was horribly low on KF3, I didn't check it yet in KI3. Another boring part is not providing a software option for Disabling/Enabling the Noise Cancellation while we have it in hardware. Some things are very kiddish in this device, rather with Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] robertandrews:
Any other tips please?

I took a call in a shopping mall yesterday and could barely hear who it was. Turned out it was a family member. The call volume on this phone is rubbish.

How can I jack it up higher than. It can go?

Volume Control+ - no joy.
[Galaxy S II General] carlitos66:
I start believing that all Android phones have low call volume, and especially Samsung phones. I tried 2 HTC phones and they were same as Samsung. Before SGS 2 I had Samsung i8910, Symbian phone, at least I could increase the volume to my comfort in service mode settings and the stayed put. No, there is nothing wrong with my ears, I also have Nokia N95 for spare phone and Nokia E7 and the volume on these phones is excellent without any tweaks. And I don't even want to start talking about my wife's Iphone 4..... I don't like Apple products at all, but the sound of her phone and crisp sound of speaker phone is way way better than SGS2. Maybe it's time to stop making world's thinnest phone and start making world's best sounding phone, Samsung?
[Galaxy S II General] sahildeswal:
I'll save ya all some trouble! Follow the link below and do exactly as it says. And remember you gotta do this everytime you reboot your phone, I know its stupid but works 100%. ;)

Hope that Helped! Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] carlitos66:
Hi sahildeswal, I know about this settings, I played with this probably 200 times trying to set it up any possible way, it always comes back to original levels. Sometimes after reboot the phone, sometimes it lasts 2 - 3 phone calls and it goes back to original values. I have unbranded UK version, stock firmware. I think my next phone will not be Samsung, I will try the new Note and if the sound is same (horrible) I give up.
[Galaxy S II General] icecubix2:
I have same problem, the volume is low and the call voice quality is terrible (it is dificult to understand me when I speak).

If I speak in handsfree mode, the working micro is the top micro, and it works perfectly, quality is ok and volume is ok.

If I do skype call (in test mode), the working micro is the bottom micro (the same micro to do a phone call). If I do it with my galaxy and with another android phone that works ok, the sound quality is similar each other.

If I do a phone call with a stock rom the sound quality is not ok, but the few times I tested it, it was usable. The problem is that I have no root, essential for me because I use DroidWall and Titanium Backup.

I don't understand nothing and I don't know whant to do... :(

(sorry for my terrible english)
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
Sorry to say I think those with problems are either talking to people who are using crap phones with low mic volumes, like a LOT of house phones these days (Just try talking to someone who has called you from a HTC Desire, and your SGS2 ear piece will blow your ear drum ;)

Mine is perfectly loud enough, my voice is crystal to other callers, and I can hear them perfectly.

This is on half volume. Maybe I have good ears? I doubt it lol.

Ive used KJ2 KJ1 KF3 and KE7. Black SGS2 on orange in the UK, unlocked, if that helps. Right now i'm on KJ2 - Stock.

My HTC Desire tended to blow my ear off too, so the theory about android phones having low volume is baloney im afraid.

Samsung SGS2 is best modern phone out there, (modern "good" phone that is) , call volume and quality included.

One thing I can say is this. If you are rooted (tut tut) and have a crap... I mean custom ROM (tut tut), then stop blaming Samsung as rooting makes it your fault. You destroyed your own phones by installing Crap roms.. I mean custom roms..

You dont need to backup if you dont keep messing around with your phones.

DISCLAIMER: I am grumpy as its work time and its early morning. All this is simply frustration at people blaming a non existant problem at a company that won't deal with it as it doesnt exist. Use an Xperia X10 and then come back and you'll see.

Peace out.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Sorry, but you just went all wrong when you called custom ROMS crappy, while the call volume is good for me, other people may find it a bit on the soft side, but give respect where respect is due, I can put custom ROMS with everything working and best your SGS2 on a stock ROM any day, all day, educate yourself a lot more before you call anything crap, regardless of your Grumpy mood.....

[Galaxy S II General] a5ian300zx:
Hi All,

I bought a replacement battery for my SG2 for longer battery life from M0bilefun, I inserted the new battery into the phone and left it to charge as their was no power but i got this grey battery icon come up every 10-20sec with a circle in the middle, thought it needed a full charge so i left it over night on charge but still the battery has no power, so thinking it must be a bad batch or something i have replaced it back with my genuine battery which I had around 70% charge left and now the exact same issue, the phone refuses to start and this stupid grey icon and that's all i get

the charger is plugged into the mains on a Belkin Pro AV surge protector extension cable.

any help or advice would be appreciated?

PS: reading the battery packaging it only comes with 6 month warranty which cannot be good otherwise it would have come with longer warranty - i wish i had known that.

Hi,

I just swapped the battery over to the samsung one and then back to the Andida and seems to have resolved itself, but the battery life seems to decrease quite fast i fully charged it at 10am today and im one 55% with only one 5 min call made to day at 3g/data off, wifi on. and i used the wifi for around 20min.

but i will see in the next week or so, to let it wear in after few charges.

When will the compass get fixed, that's the only problem I know of
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
There is no "Stable" version yet, just nightlies.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
The nightly builds are very stable though. The only bugs I've seen are the compass, but nav works when you're driving. Headset mics not working, and data arrows don't show.

None of these issues are really a deal breaker for me. Oh, and the call volume is low, which is fixed by flashing a kernal like tiamat. I'm actually using JDKernal nightly build from Rootzwiki.com,
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
The only issue I have with the nightly builds is the fact that they are nightly, so majority of the updates are just bugfixes for bugs that I probably have not even personally seen in the last 10 builds. So it's kind of a hassle at this point to stay up to date.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Skyboxer1968:
So don't stay up to date :) I watch the changelog and if nothing big is changed or added I don't bother. If I get bored before something interesting is added I try out a different rom. I have a few backups on my sd I can restore whenever I feel the need to change.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pondereradam:
I have Android Revolution HD, and already installed a few custom mods like lockscreen, weather etc.

My question: How can I remove just a single mod? I can use the restore option but I don't want to backup each time I install a mod.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pondereradam:
Anybody knows?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
you have a couple of options:

1. you find out what files the mod changes and make a copy of the old ones first

or

2. have the person that created the mod make a flashable un-mod zip

3rd option is for you to make your own un-mod flashable zip
[HTC Inspire 4G] pondereradam:
I think I can only do the first one. IDK how to make un-mod flashable zip.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Unfortunately mod files may change some very important files on your phone. Without opening the mod and seeing what files are changed there is not much more you can do. So if you still have the mod you can use (well I use) winrar to see the files that are involved with the mod. Then pull those files from your original ROM and overwrite the modded files using an app like Root Explorer. This may only work in some cases.

Another way is to take that mod you have and replace the files in it with the default files and use it to restore back.

The best advice I can give you is always take the time to do a NAND backup before installing any mod in the future.

If you have a previous NAND backup you could restore it and take your losses with what you have done from that point till now.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KE_DK:
Hi guys.

I am having some really annoying problems with my SGS II lately.

When the screen is turned off, it suddenly turns on.

When the screen is turned on, it suddenly goes into "car mode", and it often goes into "Speech control". - and sometimes it gives the "I am charging" sound and it also changes battery icon to the "I am charging" icon.

All these things happen without anybody touching the device.

When I plug it into my PC it will not be recognized - the PC states that the USB device was not recognized.

When I plug it into the charger it sometimes does not begin charging.

I am pretty sure that it is a hardware problem, as it started after i have been using the current rom for some days without these problems.

I am using Litening ROM 6.0 with Ninphetamine kernel 2.12

So, I am thinking that it might be a good time to flash a stock rom and return the device to the shop for a repair, bu I don't know how to do this when USB mode is not working ..

I am used to flash with CWM and Odin, but Odin will not work - it does not "see the device"..

So, any of you guys have a suggestion for me ??

TIA, KE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -iNSiGhT-:
Try to flash a stock ROM with Odin...

Put your SGS2 into "Download Mode", launch Odin then plug your device to your PC... You'll see if Odin see your device or not...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkyadrian:
There is s way of flashing without Odin. You must have cwm , clockworkmod installed though. In the Market get the revolution rom kitchen app and take it from there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KE_DK:
Unfortunately Odin doesn't recognize my device :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] londondutch:
I have exactly the same problem. There are quite a few reports of weird USB problems with this device. This seems to be related to false "battery overheating" messages while the battery is fine.

It does look like a USB hardware issue, problem is how do we get a stock ROM back on the device to get it repaired under warranty? Is there a way to flash the device back to stock without using USB/Odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KE_DK:
Wow, it is sad that this fine device should have so serious problems HW wise..

Today it just went from bad to worse for me - the phone stopped reacting to presses on the power button (it was screen-off) - and it was really really hot.

The backside of the phone was really so hot, that I decided to pull out the battery.

So now I am really in the ****. I just might try to hand it in and just hope that they will handle it as a HW error (but I really don't know)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schmich:
I have a family member who got this problem on a device with the stock version. I just started getting this problem (I have a custom rom) BUT I just got some third party cables.

I am wondering if those are the ones causing this. Does the SGS2 have a special USB input? Maybe with an extra connector (to eg. enable car mode on official Samsung cradles) which a third party USB cable manages to touch? I'll do some testing tomorrow as I get back to original cables.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KE_DK:
Thank you, I would like to hear if it makes any difference.

But unfortunately I am using the original cable.

Do you mean the icon on the center that opens up the app drawer? I suppose you're using a custom launcher?

Long-press any part of the empty screen, click Shortcut, and find an item that says launcher (or something equivalent), like how you would add a shortcut of an app on homescreen.

Then click that icon, and drag it to where menu key originally was.
[Nexus S General] themapleboy:
hehehe thats not called the menu key its called app drawer (or app button even, the menu key is the four line button beside your back button). I'm going to assume you are on cm7 with adw because as far as i know that is the most used.... and i may have done it once or twice before. Press and hold on an empty space on your home screen. click Launcher actions. choose open close app drawer. :) enjoy don't feel too stupid it happens to the best of us.

Well, at just 3 weeks my Photon is dying and will be exchanged this morning. The problems started today when the phone started rebooting on its own several times. When I plug in the charger it doesn't charge at all and when I plug into a USB port I get no indication on the phone and Windows report an unrecognized device. I do have the correct drivers installed and all worked well earlier. I've tried several chargers to no avail. Off to Sprint in the morning! If anyone has any tips on this issue I'm all ears!
[Motorola Photon 4G] brobin111:
I did the OTA update and it worked fine for a few days and I thought about redoing it with RSDLite but, as I mentioned, I have no USB connection now so I can't connect to a PC and, even if I could, the battery is almost dead and can't be charged through the USB port. So I appear to be stuck for now even if I could charge the battery externally. I called Sprint and they authorized an exchange so I think that's probably my only option unless they can fix it while I wait.
