Is there some sort of seal on the Galaxy s 2 that will allow samsung to notice if the phone has been opened, disassembled? If there is can you tell me where is it?

I would recommend asking in the Galaxy S2 thread? not in the galaxy S thread xD

I had a problem that never occurred until just a while ago wig the stock browser. First of all ocasionally the browser takes up to 200 Mb's. Then it says javascript is disabled and when I check it is on. And to top it all off when i disable and reinable it refresh a page the browser crashes. Help?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Id do a full reboot to see if that fixes anything. If not, then Id reflash/reformat the phone. Sometimes the phones get a little crazy and need a kick in the pants.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Upya:
Not sure if anyone can help me.

I have just invested in a 32gb sd card for my S2 and transferred my music files over from my Cowon J3.

I sort my music by having firstly an artist folder (compilations go into a various artists folder) and within the folder I store the albums by that artist, so ArtistA:Album1,2&3 Artist B:Album1, etc.

My Cowon lets me browse these folders, so I can go down the list of artists and then pick an album by that band/singer etc (by searching folders:J3:[music]:artist folders).

Unfortunately on my S2, it sorts by artists (which is inconvient as it lists all the artists from compilations), albums (but it lists them alphabetically, rather than grouping and listing them by artist) or folders (but unfortunately it seems it ignores my first level of folder (i.e the artists name) and lists the folders alphabetically by the album names, which again means the albums aren't grouped together by artist).

I have downloaded winamp and although I can search for an artist, it still isn't what I really want, as I like to scroll down through my artists and then pick an album.

Does anyone know of a music player that would allow me to browse my files by folder, in the same manner as my Cowon?

Many thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schmalki:
Try looking in the settings options in the default sgs2 music app. You can select "folders".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Upya:
I've tried that, but unfortunately it lists the album folders, rather than the level above (artist folders).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Upya:
If there was a way of setting the Artist function as album artist rather than song/track artists, that would fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robafet:
Poweramp supports folder browsing, so does uberplayer. Personally I use poweramp, it's amazing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Upya:
Many thanks Robafet, PowerAmp is exactly what I was looking for and I love having the option to have the player on the lock screen!

Looks like this is going to become my first ever 'paid for' app, just need to make sure I don't lose it now, as I'm unsure how to back up my purchases, lol.

[TouchPad General] ice_coffee:
As per the title, I let my battery run so low that the touchpad turned itself off. Not a big deal I thought, whack it on the charger give it some time and away we go ! WRONG, after several hours on the charger my TP remained dead.

Long story short, I resolved the issue by pressing and holding down the button on the front and the power button simultaneously for ages (10~20 secs), at which point the screen lit up and showed me a very large depleted battery symbol.

The touchpad still would not turn on but I left it with the big symbol on the screen, after 10~15 mins it turned it self on and showed it was 1% charged.

I guess for all the hours it was plugged in, it was doing nothing.

Anyway all sorted now, I do like a happy ending ;)

PS it is a 32GB touchpad on ver 3.02 firmware
[TouchPad General] info[]box1:
Just curiosity... but was your TP stock or modded?
[TouchPad General] ice_coffee:
completely stock apart from logging set to minimal, this was the first time it was turned off since the 3.02 update, it is also the first time I have let it die completely since it was purchased.

I wonder if my minimal logs caught anything, I will have to work out how to read them
[TouchPad General] tlower01:
I used to own a Pre that did the same thing when it was drained all the way. Kinda sucks! It always took a while before I could turn it back on. My suggestion, don't let it die. ;)
[TouchPad General] remote44:
Had the exact same issue first day on my TP... a quick Google search revealed the same fix
[TouchPad General] HaiKaiDo:
thats quite odd. I had something close to that happen. I resolved it by holding down the Silver Screen Lock Button at the top and the home button for like 15 seconds and then it started to charge.
[TouchPad General] elimherr:
try using a new charging cable, maybe use the one from your phone, a lot of the OEM cables are defective. I had same promlem and a new cable resolved the issue
[TouchPad General] ice_coffee:
it definitely wasn't the cable
[TouchPad General] chiaki_ai:
thanks!

that recovered my touchpad :)

just got this fancy thing yesterday
[TouchPad General] ice_coffee:
cool, I'm glad it worked for you too.
[TouchPad General] webslappy:
The same thing happened to me last night. XDA is first place I came because I knew I wasn't the only one with this problem and I was right.

Turned out my battery wasn't completely drained, but it still appeared to be dead. holding down the power and home button brought it back to life.

btw, first impressions on android are extremely positive (other than battery drain). So far, everything that i've needed\wanted has worked. I've even side loaded a few apps I couldn't find on the market and so far everything works, no FC.

If this is the alpha, the beta should be stable and worry free. Kudos to the CM crew.

Just flashed on trigger 2.3.5 8/22 and everything is running good so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Thanks!

Thank you ytt3r for bringing TalonMTD to Vibrant! I am about to flash it on CM7 Build #105 and I will let you know if it works ok. I am ready for CM7 to have better battery since the performance is already top notch for Vibrant and most likely will not get any faster.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dmkjr:
Dev.... nice work to get another kernel ported over to the Vibrant community. I'll wait to get some feedback from others before I decide to flash as a daily driver.

I'll tell you though, if you haven't followed the Vibrant community.... the CM7 or CM7 based ROM's are having a problem with battery life. So, with that said... if you could figure out a way to get us some blazing battery life... you'd probably be considered a hero.
[Vibrant Android Development] ytt3r:
I've had excellent battery life... CM7 is having the same issues on the Captivate, and I'm sure all SGS models. But being completely honest it seems to be running perfectly well for me and I haven't had any battery issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
So far so good. Phone is flying with CM7 Build#105. No bugs so far. Only issue I had was a freeze at 1.3ghz. This is the first CM7 kernel I have had a freeze at 1.3ghz with. 1.2ghz is rock solid even with -25mv to -125mv undervolt.

One question:

Why none so far tried the updated drivers from Optimus 3D for out devices?

They have v1.6 driver and we are at v1.5. Gpu is the same just theirs are 300mhz vs 200mhz for sgs family. (PowerVR SGX 540)

Hi guys,

I posted this same thread inthe QandA forum by mistake, so if you've read this, my apologies. But i think this is the right forum for my concern.

I was so excited to finally root my HTC Evo 4G and flash the kingdom rewind 3d rom. I flashed RLS2 from the following link on XDA's website.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1176833

After i flashed the file the phone booted up and as soon as i move the ring i get 2 warnings..

1. the application google services framework (process com.Google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. FORCE CLOSE

2. the process adroid.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. FORCE CLOSE.

I get swamped with these 2 warnings, and basically cant use my phone. I have seen other postings with these warnings but they dont mention anything due to flashing this rom. My phone specs are as follows.

HTC Evo 4G

Android version 2.3.3 (rooted, obviously)

HTC Sense version 3.0

Software number: 4.12.651.1

PRI version: 2.15_003

[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
I don't get what I am so suppose to be in love with when it comes to the SII vs Infuse 4g.

Now I am strictly comparing the US Specced SII (european I suppose as well since it is the same) vs Infuse 4g.

The infuse has a bigger screen and bigger battery.

The S2 has dual core and a small battery and smaller screen.

So I am going to get dual core eating monster with a smaller battery? Battery life on the Infuse is OK, good, but nothing crazy. The S2 must be awful?

Now if we were getting the 1.5ghz dual core with some form of LTE I could see a little more attraction.

personally though I'll be olding off for something better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] J101:
Dual core

1 gig of ram

It's only slightly smaller - actually feels better in your hand.

Gingerbread 2.3.4 from the carrier

Better GPS lock

I'm still wondering if it has the chip needed for voodoo sound though...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cpbeats:
It's not a huge difference but you get gingerbread out the box, touchwiz 4.0, dual core, 1080p recording, hdmi(infuse as well), thx soluscado totally slipped my mind, etc. The infuse is ok but i'm probably getting rid of mine. The checkered loading is driving me crazy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
I agree with the OP. The dual core proc seems like a "meh" addition, especially considering the battery trade-off. I just don't use TouchWiz anyway, so that's irrelevant. The bigger screen is a BIG deal to me, and any video I take with my phone is displayed on my phone, so 1080p recording is irrelevant. I'm pretty sure you get HDMI out on the Infuse as well, but I have no use for that either. And the Gingerbread enhancements are so minor (to me) that I really couldn't care less whether it's available OOB or not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rogue_Breaker:
What you said.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
Yea no point. I'll stick with my infuse until samsung releases an lte phone on att like ours or the s2. Or wait for googles next phone and hope that is lte as well.

Dual core is not enough reason to upgrade, I want real 4g speeds.

Infuse running Serendipity VII
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trdsnow:
If the GPS chip is better than that of the infuse then I'm switching. I use the GPS more than anything else on the phone and that is a deal breaker for me. If the infuse had a perfect working GPS, I'd take it over the s2 anyday.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] VtHondaGuy08:
The battery life on the sgs2 i don't thinks all that bad. The battery.2 inch screen difference i hardly notice, gb is awesome. Mines yet to show any sign of lag at all. I haven't even touched the infuse since i got the sgs2. Once gb comes out ill use it. Until then though ill stick with gb and my dual core :-).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] VtHondaGuy08:
Lol but auto text on it is a total fail.... Hopefully you guys understand.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
I know this topic has come up a few times in the month or so I've owned my infuse and watched these forums, and I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering if it's worth the switch to the AT&T-branded SGSII. Honestly the thing I'd have wanted most from the European SGSII was the physical Home button, but that didn't make it over here (needs more patent litigation).

I do agree that the .2" off the screen is actually a bonus; 4.3" screens feel a lot nicer when using to chat--somehow the AT&T SGSII is more than .2" off in both dimensions (4.96" x 2.60" vs. 5.2" x 2.8" according to Samsung). Still, a fifth of an inch either way isn't a deal-breaker for me either way.

The dual core SGSII processor is obviously the big difference, and I have yet to see anyone post a compelling, non-anecdotal reason to have a second core on a phone. I don't know many people who have felt their Infuse was insufficiently responsive, and no game I've run has had any noticeable lag on the Infuse, though my experience is hardly extensive.

Does anyone know how much RAM the AT&T SGSII has? If it had the full gig that the Euro version has, that'd also be a nice bonus, as I have managed to fill up the sub-half-gig that the Infuse has available.

The last feature I think deserves mention is NFC, which the ATT SGSII does have, reportedly. Not that I really expect to be paying by NFC any time soon, but what are we if not nerds who want more features on our phones? :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] VtHondaGuy08:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
There isn't a single thing that the Infuse beats the SGS II in. It ties in a few places like camera, but that's it. The SGS II is the best Android phone in existence, and the Infuse probably wouldn't have even been the best of 2010.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
It's 1GB of RAM total, and like 800 MB for the user.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] VtHondaGuy08:
If its anything like the Euro version it has 839mb ram for the user.

And I agree Mikey it is probably the best Android phone out there!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tailsthecat3:
Do we know if its ddr2 ram? What about the i/o tech? That LG is dual something or other.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
I don't think i can agree with that. I havent yet used one, but i cam say that having the largest and brightest display on the market is a huge plus for me. Regardless of whether it may seem like a better deal, i feel that the sgs2 is basically a smaller infuse. It looks the same and does all the same things. Really can't count gb as a plus either since we already have it on the infuse and an official version by the time the sgs2 is readily available to most. I can't see any advantage to 1080p either since it will just eat up more of that inferior battery. Just my 2 cents.

Edit: on top of all that, i don't know why u said 2010? you meant 2011? even if that was so i find that hard tp believe also. Considering that feature for feature, the Infuse was the best overall android device you could buy here in the U.S. when it was released. That said, the only real reason the Infuse hasn't out sold the competition is the lack of hype behind it and a very quiet release by Samsung. Quite unlike the sgs2 which is released first in their most local market. It obviously is pointed towards the more general technophile audience. The infuse i feel was directed towards the huge media phone freaks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Elemino:
Running a single thread, a single core 1.2GHz beats a dual core 1GHz processor any day. Dual cores is not always better, especially when it comes to battery life.

As I recall, 1.2GHz last year would have beat all phones on the market.

That's incredibly enlightening and useful. Thank you for that input. Now that I've read your post, I can truly say that something of value was spoken in this thread.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Except screen size, 4.5" vs 4.3" and battery life.

My point was more of that, in my opinion, the SGSII offers very little over the infuse. Is it better, sure, but it's all pretty small and unexciting at best. Dual core is still, again in my opinion, a joke. The phone doesn't take nearly enough advantage of it and 99% of the things you do you will see almost no difference. At least that has been my experience this far.

I have no interest in trading "UP" for a phone with worse battery life and a smaller screen (yes its only .2", smaller is smaller)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Again...have you actually used a US sgs2

i see quite a few posts about the screen and battery from people who have never touched an sg2....imo it is impossible to make such claims if you have not tested the phone

The battery life on the sgs2 (the att attain) that I have been playing with is fantastic. The processor is noticeably better.. And the screen difference is not something many will notice...the 4.3" displays much nicer with the over saturation issue...

I said the same things until I actually got to play with one.

I am really hoping I can take pics and vids tonight since Samsung has officially announced the phone.
