[Galaxy S II Accessories] miki4242:
Well, it had to come to this.

While the promise of MHL and "HDMI-out on a smartphone" finally came to reality for the SGS II, Samsung has made a classical design error.

Compounded by the dock not offering any data transfer (let alone MHL) capability, this becomes almost too much to bear.

What's the problem?

- The MHL adapter and its fixed Micro-USB cable simply are too light and flimsy.

- The dock, which one could use to 'weigh down' the whole shebang so it doesn't twist around, doesn't pass-thru any data, let alone allow MHL to work.

With today's high-end HDMI cables being more hefty and massive than average starter cables (you practically need to put them in a vise and use Juggernaut's pliers to bend them into shape), the tiny MHL adapter flips and twists, causing its fixed Micro-USB cable to suffer all kinds of contortions, inevitably causing metal fatigue to its even tinier internal metal parts.

After using the adapter for just a few days, I'm already seeing regular signal drops, audio cutting out, "Signal out of range" messages on my TV, etc.

Twisting and bending the poor thing some more makes them go away for a few minutes, then they return with a vengeance.

I've been searching for the elusive "< 5 Watt HTPC setup" ('<' meaning "less than") for over 15 years, but after trying literally dozens of setups, I'm afraid the SGS II isn't going to make the grade either, unless Samsung seriously consider redesigning both the MHL adapter and the dock.

What would be the solution?

- Make the adapter's Micro-USB cable detachable!! (So you can fix it without having to send the whole thing in for repair)

- Make the dock be able to pass-thru all signals on the SGS II's connector untouched (so you can use it to safely park your smartphone and connect it to your TV (or your PC for that matter) without risk of signal drops or worse: a sudden recoil/twist of your HDMI 'garden hose' sending your precious phone flying thru the living room...)

Just my € 0,05 (corrected for inflation)...

lmao @ Just my € 0,05 (corrected for inflation)..

u r funny but thanks for the heads up
[Galaxy S II Accessories] monoik:
You can always go the DIY way... I'm planning to buy some cheap dock, disassemble it and make it a true pass-through, or - if there'd be enough space - fit the mhl in... But that's still in the air.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] luster:
i have bought a relatively cheap dock from eBay that passes thru the signal on usb. so I would assume this would also work with HDMI.

i will purchase a cheap hdmi cable in the near future to check it out for myself!
[Android Apps and Games] chocodough:
Well I'm a recent convert from the iPhone to Android, and I have a lot of videos I have taken on my iPhone 4 that I would like to be able to put on my Atrix.

I have searched around on the net and haven't found anything so I figured I'd ask you guys if you knew of any video player for Android which will play Quicktime MOV files?

I really don't want to convert them to a different format, I'd like to leave them how they are.

Thanks

Yep, proceed exactly as found in the dev´s forum (from XDA obviously). I highly recommend the full BELL 2.3.4 Atrix over the leaked Orange France. Been using it from a while and everything is just fine.

Look for Bell Atrix 2.3.4 Gobstopper, from NFHimself. Good luck!

Hey, me again! Well bud, if you are interested I wrote a post some time ago about what I mentioned just above, of course those are posts from real dev´s, which I thank a lot! (Credits go for them as always. NFHimselh and Eval, and so on...!) And thought this could be for help for you.

I´ve added, as you´ll realise, some own mods to procedures due to lost capabilities, howewer, after sorting those as directed, you´ll have, as stated, a very very reliable and full-functional Mexican Atrix.

[LG Optimus 2x] koocha:
I've just got hold of an Optimus 2X.

I rooted it and flashed CM7.1 RC1 on it with ROM Manager.

(Before I did this the wifi was working with the stock rom)

The wifi will enable but then instantly disable. I then flashed it with the latest nightly and it still didn't work.

Then I flashed the vork kernel and that didn't do anything either.

Is there anything else I can try? Mobile data seems to work ok.

Thanks

EDIT: I checked the advanced wifi settings and it says the Mac address is unavailable. Is that right?
[LG Optimus 2x] koocha:
Sorted now. Think it was because I restored setttings from 2.3.5 to a 2.3.4 build. Started again with the nightly and now it works fine.

Hey guys,

Just discovered a new keyboard shortcut for WP7 which you may or may not already know. If you tap and hold the period key, it'll bring up a list of common punctuation keys and you can slide your finger left to access them. A very handy, but not well known shortcut.

Hope it saves you all some time like it has for me :)

[Android Apps and Games] guyrosen:
Hi all,

I'm Guy from Onavo, and I wanted to share with you all that after much anticipation Onavo (which was available only for the iPhone till now) has come to Android!

Today we launched Onavo Lite, an app that solves the "Android data leak", as we call it. In the world of capped data plans (not to mention outrageous roaming charges), the problem with the Android ecosystem is apps run constantly in the background, which means they can be using data whether you use the app or not. Users have no control and no way to limit the data that is used. Until now.

Launched today, Onavo Lite puts users in control of their data usage. The app flags 'data hog' apps and allows users to make apps 'WiFi only', effectively stopping the data leakage.

The app helps control data usage and costs through features such as:

- Alerts and warnings: when an app is hogging data in the background, when approaching your cap, or when traveling

- Data hog blocking: can opt to block certain apps over 3G, or 3G data in general once you exceed your data cap to avoid any additional costs

- Tracking: Real-time data plan tracking and early alerts when usage reaches certain limits.

- Advice: Tips on best value data plans based on your actual usage

- Simple set up: Removes all the complexity from mobile data plans

If any of you have any questions, feel free to shoot them my way here in the forum. We would love your feedback on our app.

To download just search for "Onavo" on the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] ilya.glants:
I'm happy to see this app finally reach android, but the version for android doesn't do the main thing it does on the iPhone: compress data.

There are already apps that monitor data usage.. so why is this different?

other apps also have notification and that stuff.

So when will the data compressing feature be available?
[Android Apps and Games] guyrosen:
Hi Ilya,

Compression for Android is definitely on its way, we are working to bring that to you as well. However we realized that to help users truly tame data plans, we needed to deliver a more holistic solution. Since on Android background data usage is a REAL problem (as opposed to iPhone) so we simply couldn't wait to release this to the public and deliver this great value. (Google for "android iphone data usage" to see a post on our blog, from our chief Android guru, on the conceptual differences between Android's and iPhone's data consumption models).

There are some great meters out there, but nothing provides:

a) Real-time alerts when apps are eating up your data in the background

b) Crowdsourced intelligence that lets you learn from our global community and get advance warnings on apps that may be problematic to your data plan.

c) The ability to block apps from using your mobile data in the background.

Add to that compression, when we release that, and you've got a one-stop-shop for all your data usage needs.
[Android Apps and Games] webwude:
I have a few feature requests:

- specify another currency (as I am in a foreign country, it is definitely the wrong one).

- specify the begin of the monthly plan (I can specify this value for the domestic, but not for the roaming plan)

- specify previously used data - I already used some data prior to the installation

After all, looks promising...

Kind regards,

ww
[Android Apps and Games] guyrosen:
All good points. Quick questions:

a) the app should suggest your own local currency (that of the SIM). This usually makes sense as if you're on your home operator's SIM you pay in your home currency, if you buy a prepaid SIM locally it would be in that country's price. What's the scenario in your case?

b) Can you describe the kind of roaming plan you're using?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] webwude:
Quick answers:

- austrian SIM (EUR), I am in Switzerland at the moment (roaming). Result: currency shown in CHF.

- my plans both begin on 26th of the month. Domestic plan: 1 GB; roaming plan: 50 MB. In the app I can specify the begin of the domestic plan. But: roaming plan begins today from my point of view.

Kind regards,

ww
[Android Apps and Games] guyrosen:
Gotcha! Thanks for clarifying - definitely stuff we'd like to take care of.
[Android Apps and Games] webwude:
Keep us posted ;)
[Android Apps and Games] guyrosen:
@webwude - we just uploaded a new version with some bugfixes, among them we have fixed your point #1 about the currency.
[Android Apps and Games] webwude:
Thank your for the information.

I experiencing a strange issue (maybe related to your app):

since this morning, I get timeouts using the standard internet app, k-9 mail, gmail and so on - only a few apps (mail with exchange, provider app) are still working, all other (which I have used in the meantime) seems to be blocked, even after uninstalling your app. Is there any way to reset things as they were before? If I start apps which I haven't used since yesterday, they can connect... otherwise I can see that there is traffic, but browser or market just get timeouts...

It seems, that there is some sort of lock...

I will investigate this furthermore this evening...

Kin regards,

[Android Apps and Games] Kawdess:
There appears to be a huge discrepancy between the usage level reported by 3G Watchdog and Onavo - 304MB and 855MB respectively. What's the cause of the discrepancy, and which app would be more reliable?
[Android Apps and Games] guyrosen:
@webwude - re some apps not connecting, that shouldn't be Onavo (especially not after you removed it). Did you find out what happened?

@BazookaAce - good point! BTW what kind of SIM are you using?

@Kawdess - we're looking into such discrepancies, will let you know what we find.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Tele 2 Sweden, but I live in Norway and my operator is Tele 2 Norway but Tele 2 Norway is roaming on NetComs towers. Tele 2 Norway doesn't have its own yet.

So since the SIM is swedish it "calls home" (to sweden) before bouncing back to norway and completes the call.

So Tele 2 Norway customers roam 24/7. And no, we do not pay more than normal :p

XDA love your site. I have learned so much. With that said I gave a stab at rooting my DS7 with gingerbreak which is found on your forum. It worked easily and quckly. I simply installed gingerbreak.zip to root sd card. Installed on the DS7. Plugged in the DS7 Via usb cable and clicked on the installed icon on the tab. Boom in 30seconds I was rooted. Just thought I would throw this in. In no way am I a developer. I consider myself a semi newbie. If this is allowed here. Thanks . If not excuse the placement.

I'm new to DS7 and afraid to brick my tablet. Can you elaborate what have you done?

2. Installed on DS7. What does this mean?

3. Plugged in the DS7 Via usb cable and clicked on the installed icon on the tab. Where is the 'installed icon'? Are you using Windows XP or Windows 7?

Thanks for clarification
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
1. Download Gingerbreak version 1.2 from this link to your ds7 and take note where you download it to. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

2. Install File Expert, a free file manager app from the android market.

3. Go into your Settings, Applications, and check the Unknown sources option (this allow you to install non-market app)

4. Go into your Settings, Applications, Development, and check the USB debugging.

5. Start File Expert and navigate to the folder where you have downloaded Gingerbreak.

6. Click on Gingerbreak to install it.

7. Start Gingerbreak app and choose Root device.

That's it, very simple. Happy rooting!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I never wanted to try a sense rom. The Widgets are pretty but it reminds me of my Windows Mobile days... even then I built roms without sense.

Once you try MIUI, sense is a laugh.

I think I've converted over to MIUI full time. Updates aren't as frequent to cut back on my daily urge and all the little tweaks really make the phone a joy to use. CM7 is great too but MIUI is like a polished CM7.

Nightlies are fun for a while but with the G2x, there is rampant APN and GPS issues that rear up occasionally that have bitten me several times. Nothing like being in a strange city with barely any service and your GPS is boinked.

I'll probably flip back and forth once they settle down with the GB source but reading the nightly thread it seems there are some big problems in the past few releases that I'm in no hurry to rush into.

I think I'm enjoying MIUI too much.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
I've been rocking the nightly's since 55 and haven't had any trouble with any of them. GPS and both cameras have worked for me the whole time. Got 124 earlier today.

I third the MIUI is an iPhone rom...if you like it you'll probably love an iPhone...haha

CM7 has it on lock. I have bluez IME and can connect a wiimote to my phone and map all the wiimote keys to do any ascii I want. From there I can play pretty much any emulator with the wiimote and hdmi out to a projector or tv.

I have netflix it runs fast as hell and the battery lasts 3-4 days if I'm only using it for phone calls. Lasts about 6 hours if I'm gaming or watching movies.

Only complaint is they didn't steal the HDMI settings from the stock rom yet, so it will only auto out hdmi to 1080p tv's. So if you only have a 720p tv, probably not for you, but the perks might still make it worth it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
Oh yah, and if your worried about your settings. Don't wipe anything when you update your nightly. Download however you do, if you use rom manager, just say no when it asks to install, then shut down, load your recovery, flash the new nightly right over your old one. All setting remain the same. (Keep a good nandroid backup at all times and every once in a while restore your backup and flash new nightly over that for good measure)
