The point is other Apps have the option to use it or not.

I don't mind it using GPS when I want to check in, obviously, but it keeps firing up the GPS for everything.

Don't respond if you are going to keep stating the obvious. You are missing the point, I don't want it to keep saying where I am 'near'.

The only way I can stop it is to click check in and hit the little x in the bottom corner to remove the place it thinks I'm near and then hit the back button. How hard is it to have an option that tells it to just use GPS when I want to check in?

Then it's not working properly, is it?

[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Listen do you have problem with comprehension or what?

The app forces to use GPS without ability to turn this OFF.

Constant toggling between on/off in GPS settings just to use Facebook is plain idiotic and inconvinient.

All the apps I have on my phone which have the option to use GPS have the "OFF" switch and that is good, like weather apps, news etc.

And what is important, all the previous FB versions didn't use it.

So I say it's a ****ty app voiding my privacy and I have a right to complain. Hopefully this will be fixed.

I am having problems using the "Check In" function on Facebook. Every time I try to "Check In" it gives me the following error "Cannot check in at this time. Please try again later. [100/Param group_id must be a valid group id].

Any ideas on how to solve this on my Arc LT15a?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beguiler:
I am trying to use my SS GS2 as a living room PC. It is easy enough to connect the MHL to HDMI adapter and connect the phone to a big screen TV. I am then able to use a bluetooth mouse (Microsoft 5000) and keyboard (Microsoft 6000) from my sofa to "use" the phone.

Most apps look ok. What is painful is when I have to enter text or the on screen keyboard pops up, suddenly, 70% of the TV screen is filled with the keyboard or the text box.

Is there a way to disable the pop-up keyboard? Are there apps that "understand" that I am connected to an HDTV and actually output 1920x1080 and stay at that resolution.

Also, is there a way to turn off the phone screen when connected to a TV. I find that because it is on, the phone slowly discharges (1% per 25 minutes) instead of charging. Since I am using bluetooth to control the phone from far away and I can see the UI on the TV, I don't need the screen on.

For example, I like that I can use the Dolphin HD Browser to look at my Facebook page is desktop mode (same view as my PC). It is irritating that the URL is gigantic, and every time I enter text, the UI zooms in, and after the huge text entry box goes away, the UI stays zoomed in.

Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance you can provide.

I just upgraded my rom to KH4 and i noticed the font had changed. Samsung had also added a font changing tool.

But my question is, how and where do I place fonts so that I can get that font tool to detect them and so that I can change to that font in the phone?

[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Anyone know if while on wifi if i usb tether will it use the wifi or mobile data? Looks like the wifi is being used on my phone. Just want to make sure lol. Basically I want it to be like a regular Wireless adapter of sorts. Just curious :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
mm I'd assume it would use the WiFi I guess?

Just turn on airplane mode, then toggle WiFi on, then USB tether. That'll answer your question right there.

Or you could just buy a $10 wireless adapter for your computer :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bharakrama:
I believe when you tether your phone, the phone will start using which ever data connection is has access to. Wifi takes precedence over the mobile data connection if you have a wifi connection.

Or as martonikaj suggested, buy a USB wireless adapter for your computer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Cool, I asked because I can use it at school where our computer workshop, doesn't have internet access at the moment. Too much hassle to carry one more thing lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I haven't tested the exact situation you are talking about. But the phone always seems to default to WiFi, when a WiFi network is available. For example, the other day, my WiFi network was down (cable internet service was down for a bit), and my phone would not switch over to the cell data network, unless I manually turned off WiFi.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
yea i turned off data and tried it and it worked so I imagine it is using wifi, thats pretty cool...like a wifi adapter on command!
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Cool, glad it worked for you.
[XPERIA X8 General] SDee96:
Hi everyone.

I got this phone on my birthday 4 months ago.

Over this time, i did everything but mess around with roms.

I installed xrecovery a few weeks ago.

And now i got this black screen (if you haven't seen it, it's that screen with the Sony Ericsson printed without the green circle).

And I must point out that i forgot to install the PC Companion before that happened.

So, now it's just stuck, idk what to do,I tried the flash mode but it says the driver can't be installed.

Any help,tips?

P.S. Please give me a link with the 2.1 version if possible, i don't know where to get the right one (for the X8)

I really didn't hope that my first post would be this, but that's how it turned out.
[XPERIA X8 General] kevinlogix:
Hi, :-) DON'T WORRY IT'S ALL RIGHT. EVERYTHING WILL BE OK:-)

Just go to the Se official Website and download X8 Pc driver,

if you can see the white SONY ERICSSON when you boot, everything will be ok.

now, follow these steps.

a. Download x8 PC driver on their official website. Google SE... and you will find that page.

b. Install and open it.

c. Click SUPPORT ZONE, and click UPDATE SERVICE.

d. Click REPAIR PHONE

e. Follow Update Service's giving tips and you will fix it.

The first boot may takes you about five minutes. Don't take down the battery. Or you will be crazy...

You can fix your phone with US without turning on your phone, enjoy:-)
[XPERIA X8 General] SDee96:
thank you sooooooooo much <3 idk how to repay you for that

i didn't even see the REPAIR PHONE link before.

[XPERIA X8 General] SDee96:
Thanks, but now, the software won't download at all.

As we speak, i constantly get this:

Is there root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stefan.buddle:
None confirmed but more than likely the international sgs2 root method will work or some generic one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Phone hasn't been released yet, how could there be root? Only reviewers have access to the phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stefan.buddle:
A bunch of phones have been rooted before release, guess you've haven't been keeping track
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jez2cool:

Don't sweat root guys. This beast runs awesome out the box and bloat is uninstalable....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Does anyone have any idea if the bootloader is locked and or encrypted? Radio updates will be key for this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Root shouldn't be far behind the release ...

As for if it's unlocked i Believe so dude ... we shouldn't have problems in that area ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I have always thought Samsung was the most friendly too the bootloader thing, I can't remember hearing of one that was locked/encrypted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ThrIsNoSpork:
This thing will be rooted by launch day for sure... I hope
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
I can't wait for this to get root as well; need to get MIUI on it fast!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
got mine today. Guy at Sprint store let me have it early. none of the Galaxy S II variants have locked bootloaders. The model number and kernel is different than the European ones so I assume someone will have to put out a US Sprint kernel with Superuser and busybox. Hopefully we can use ODIn ans superoneclick to root like the overseas ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:

Ive got my freind who wants to swap me his optimus 3d for my galaxy s2 and i was wondering what is the pros and cons? what would i gain and what would i also lose in doing so?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
stick to what you have. the only thing that the optimus has is 3D pictures and really that is not that important anyway...if you are into 3D then try it for a few days but do not swap your galaxy s2 cause you have the best android phone at this moment of time so you be silly if you swapped it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
in my very valued and educated opinion, I must tell you I poop on lg after a night of drinking and wings. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meranto:
Why does he want to swap? Because he found out that the SGS2 beats the LG O 3D in all reviews or because he misses some feature he finds very important that his phone lacks but yours has? Ask him that and post your answers here :)

Other than that, I would say you do some research into the two, have a play with the two and if you find his phone to be better for what you want to do with it, why not swap?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Sofos_:
My friend has the 3D as well.. Believe me definately sgs2.. 3D is an awsome phone don't get me wrong but for me Sgs2 is the winner..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusnoki:
Definitely SGS II... The Optimus 3D doesn't bring anything better to the game other than 3D... i find it useless cause my head starts hurting after looking at the screen for some time... but it may just be me... i have a SGS II and i'm thrilled... the best phone out there now :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzawright:
Hi, I just sold my Optimus 3D and bought the SGSII. The only reason i did so was for the battery life. The O3D has no battery life but is an awesome phone though and the screen on it is absolutely amazing. I really miss the O3D screen. In terms of performance there is not much in it, SGSII maybe slightly ahead with fewer lock ups for me. Software wise, I absoloutley prefered the stock LG software.

I dont think this helps you much but my 2p worth anyway :) Either way you will have a great phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fintara:
Optimus 3D is... boring :) So, go for SGS II !

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poch_1421:
sgs2 of course is better overall :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimakos29:
yeah mate . having a phone that almost matches sgs2 in performance on android 2.2 and that may surpass it even on 2.3 (talking about stock versions always of course) plus having a 3d screen and camera is boring really... plus not to mention the really rich game support sgs2 has. (oh wait. with chainfire it runs fewer games than lg does without...). plus 2.3 is round the corner and ice cream was promised by lg 2 days ago... of course you cannot fry bacon on lg and not use it as a personal heater now that oil has gone up in price. srsly though i git an sgs2 first week it got out and apart from overheating its screen has vibrant colors but isplays really ooorly some colors (mainly mate ones) see angry birds sky really carefully to see what i mean. also it burnt a pixel after ten days and of course screen has no guarantee (only lg covers screen with guarantee and for tow years). thankfully it was in doa period and replaced it with 3d. dont regret it a single day
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
every person to their own opinions. but the thing is buddy if you do your research the overheating issue and others that you mentioned have been overcomed and if you actually took time to go through the forums..

anyway for me the one i would get is the galaxy s2..dont get me wrong lg3d sounds nice but 3d is just a gimmick to sell the phone and nothing else.......if you want proper advice read reviews or watch youtube videos and that will help you make your mind up
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimakos29:
ohhh i have seen reviews. tehblogs that dont know what they talking about... for example evo3d is better just because it runs on 1.2ghz instead of only 1 on lg and not knowing that it is one generation back as a processor... like saying that a 486 is better than pentium cause it is clocked to a higher freq... and btw if you can really check out o3d in a store. not the evo but o3d. the 3d is no gimmick at all you will see
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjoma:
If you don't absolutely want it need to have the 3d display I would definitely choose the SGS2, mainly for its sleeker design, the SAMOLED+ display and the overall better OS (like Touchwiz4 more than LGs interface, and partly because of Samsung's hardware acceleration the S2 runs much smoother than anything else. Plus it runs Gingerbread, it is supported better- in terms of official updates by Samsung and also "unofficially" by the community).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
ok next time for me when i want to read a review i will come to you then...listen like i said everyone is entitled to their opinion file mou...i had the choice as well to go for the lg or galaxy and went with the galaxy cause one firware was on the latest one and two bigger memory..im not saying that lg optimus 3d is not good by all means its a great phone but compared to the galaxy s2 come on man...its like comparing an audi tt to a ferrari...
