[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] createnplay:
Since i've had my GS2 now the internet was fine and was even fine for a while after rooting.

But now after a while the internet will not work at all no matter if i use WiFi or H or 3G it just sits there and does nothing. And the market just says "problem, blah blah".

I've got TB Pro and tried disabling Sync etc, why is this still happening?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
If you are already in this forum you must have used search to determine which audio chip this galaxy s2 is using.. :)

.. it's the same as the other galaxy s2's - Yamaha

(T-mobile variant has a different SoC so that might have a diff. audio chip)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] solidsebazz:
a lot of people say that the woflson chip on the first galaxy s i much better than the yamaha in S II i do not know about this as i have not yet tested the yahama chip. i can tell you that woflson sound quality is beautiful but a vodoo kernel is a must, otherwise you wont be able to hear anything on your headphones but that's just me i like to hear at my music very very loud!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
I stumbled across these and thought I would share. Feel free to add anything you might have found:

If you turn off auto-brightness, you can brighten the screen with a swipe of the finger. Just press the notifications area and move your finger left or right.

On both the homescreen and the apps menu you will see a row of dots indicating which page you are on. Hold the dot and scroll left or right. The pages will quickly scroll until you see the page you want.

You can focus your camera on a specific thing by touching that area on your screen.

In the camera app you can use the volume buttons to zoom in and out. OR you can pinch to zoom in and out.

Mute the Battery Notification (using Tasker) Directions are here.

Swipe left on contact name from the contact list and you'll automatically be able to send a text.

Swipe right on a contact name from the contact list and you'll automatically be able to call them.

Press your home button and lock screen button (power button) at the same time to save a screenshot.

You can scroll much faster on some apps such as YouTube, Astro File Manager and Market by using 3 fingers and if you scroll with 2 fingers you get precise scrolling (no scroll momentum).

Hold down the home button to access recent programs and the task manager.

Any way to change the docked apps on the homescreen? I prefer Handcent over the default messaging app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyq83:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'll still never understand the logic of having a WHITE background in a messaging app... Talk about a battery killer!

That's one thing I'm going to miss about the Moment. Black background in the STOCK app, rather than having to install a 3rd party app.

All though, if I'm forced to, Go SMS is my preference. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:

Thanks for the tip! It worked but now I have a followup question. Is there anyway to use the Handcent Icon widget in my dock? One of the reasons I love Handcent is the widget that shows how many unread messages I have.

FYI, other reasons I like Handcent: the lockscreen popup, it allows me to use my own sounds/mp3s as ringtones and alarms, Emoji pack allows me to send and receive emoji icons with my iPhone friends
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m3ng:
U can hold 2 points on the screen like with ur thumbs for example. Then tilt ur phone forward or back to zoom. Just like that 10.1 tablet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Can you turn off the silly "bubble" chat with Handcent yet? Last time I tried it (a year ago) I couldn't stand the comic book look.

I'll probably use Go SMS until a dev over at SDX reverse releases a black version of the stock SMS.apk.

I'm also hoping the old version of GMail works so I can copy it over and use it with LauncherPro with working mail counts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m3ng:
U dont have to have to have the bubble look. Handcent gives us different options. Android style is included if u r curious
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LouieGrandie:
On the bottom of the screen there are 4 icons for Phone, Contacts, Messaging and Applications. I would like to replace the stock Messaging with Handscent and Applications with VoiceMail. How can I do that?

go into applications and press menu and then you can remove and add from there.

Did anyone else try the tasker trick to disable the notification that the battery is fully charged?

I followed the directions with tasker, but the phone still vibrates when it is fully charged. It no longer does the ringer. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r3a1ist:
Thx good info
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
the camera doesn't take a picture until you take your finger off the screen.

keeping your finger on the button will lock iso, just like regular digital cameras. it's like a half press.

Like with most late phones, turn the phone face down (screen on surface) to mute ringer from incoming call.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kmd1970:
Is there a messaging widget that shows all of your conversations? My EVO 3D had so many good widgets. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoMatt:
Panorama mode!

Haven't seen this on a phone before, and it works much better than the same function on my digital camera.

In the camera, click the settings icon, then Shooting Mode, then select Panorama.

It will give you instructions on screen how to proceed.

For some reason, it came out at a much lower resolution, but it worked beautifully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
While the phone is on press and hold the power button, you will see the silent/airplane/poweroff popup, keep holding until the screen goes off and let go. It will reboot the phone. If you also hold vup you will get recovery and vdown odin mode.

anyone find any way to mute the camera shutter and focus sounds without root? The Sprint product team is looking into it to see if they can add something to the upcoming MR, but I'm doubting they'll get to it. "System" sounds doesn't mute it.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

you can choose "Android" style for a list of texts which is not bubble outputs. Also, the stock app only allows you to text 10 people at a time, which is lame. Handcent rocks this feature and can overcome the 100 texts per hour limitation imposed by the Android OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hammersfd:
You can do the "pinch to zoom" trick in the app drawer and it will zoom out to an overview of all your pages, similar to the homescreen effect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
also, if you have SwitchPro Widget then you can add a widget that will give you more advanced reboot options such as reboot into recovery, bootloader, or just do a normal reboot.

Great list. I can't believe taking snapshots is that easy. Other phones need root to do that! (Hence, a nice new feature in ICS).

On my old Magic running CM6, I used to be able to swipe-away individual notifications from the drop-down shade. I don't seem to be able to do that on this... stock launcher or Go Launcher. Is that an ADW or Cyanogen feature?

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Works on the contacts list...

Sadly doesn't work in Handcent. That's a cool feature, but I like Handcent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
There are apps in the market that will do that but the best option is with ROOT access. The shutter sound can go easily but the focus beep in built into the Camera.apk. We have modded camera.apk's that have removed the beep. You could ROOT do the camera mod and then unroot. Noone would know.

I'm having the same issues right now and nothing in this thread solves it..it only happens to a couple contacts and I tried deleting everything and it still doesn't show a few contact photos under their SMS? Help please!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
are any of you having this issue right after a "fix_permissions" operation? If so there's a fix - this is from memory and I'm on a ROM with a different setup, but I *think* this is the correct path, if not it's super close to this, feel free to file browse to correct path, then use that path for this fix.

adb shell (or TE):

su

chmod 664 /data/data/com.android.providers/contacts/files/*
[HTC EVO 3D] lawsofpower48:
My issue wasn't from that... but someone logged into my fb so I changed my pw...since then I had this contact picture issue from certain people in my txt msgs....

I found a temp fix that literally stops working after like thirty minutes for some odd reason...I go into applications under settings, then look for messaging and clear cache...then I check msgs and the missing contact picture is back temporarily... anyway to permanantly fix this issue?

Btw, I'm just rooted..no roms installed
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
just noticed it happened after a fix_permissions run. going to try your solution.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
didnt work. ;9
[HTC EVO 3D] NYCHitman1:
Yeah, fixing permissions messes up the sync to the messaging app which is odd. I had this problem in the past and used cmd to fix it, but I can't remember the prompt line for the life of me >_<

il Duce's post in this thread has the command

Does your phone need a case? Does your phone need custom ringtones?

I think these are all questions you can pretty much gather up the answer for yourself. I'm not flaming, just saying.

To answer your question, this is more of a personal preference. I usually dont like to deal with screen protectors, but I got one that came with the otterbox case and I barely notice its there until I look around the edges of the qhd screen. No bubbles, no sticky stuff, streaks, perfectly perfect.

everything else im big enough to work out for myself .. just asking re the screen protector as i know its gorilla glass ......

thanks for advice ill put mine on ...
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
The OG Evo had gorilla glass, too. In all honesty, I used my OG Evo for a year with heavy usage and never put a screen protector on it. In the end, I only had a couple of minor surface scratches that you could only see in direct sunlight.
[HTC EVO 3D] Malikione:
this
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
No, it doesn't. But if you want scratches, fine line scrap marks from objects such as coins, keys and even fingers..dirt gets on them..then go without. It amazed me on my first 3vo it scrathed from my fingers. Was surfing, git out and had sand and wax on em. You will not even notice if you get one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
watever type of glass it is it WILL scratch!!!! I have two micro scratches that show up when sunlight or other bright light reflects just right... basically looks like cobweb effect on car's surface in sunlight... not that bad but i suppose it could get that bad. Invest in a quality screen protector and save urself the paranoia
[HTC EVO 3D] HammDroid:
When the 3D first came out, everybody was running around saying it was Gorilla Glass without actually verifying it first. Not that it matters so much, as its all scratchable, just some a little less than others.

I emailed HTC and they emailed me back saying that they did not believe that the 3D's were made with Corning Gorilla Glass, but that it was likely it was HTC's similarly comparable proprietary glass. You can take that however you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] simosezj:
Do you "need" underwear pretty much its up to do you like it naked, I love the feel of the smooth gorilla glass. But that's me its your phone your life. Do what thou wilt with your phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I'm not sure how different the org EVO is to the 3D, but from personal experience, the EVO 4G's screen is easily breakable (all the people I work with had EVOs and half of them had broken screens.) If the 3D is the same case, then I'd say go for it.

I personally want a screen protector even on my SGSII. It make sure no scratches ever occur.
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
i mean my screen protector feels no different than my original screen i just keep it on for protection
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
This.

It comes down to the fact you can take your chances and deal with scratches if (when) they happen, or you can shell out $20 and protect your screen from getting scratches to begin with.
[HTC EVO 3D] falconey07:
A screen protector is not going to save the glass from breaking, lol. IMHO this phone does not need a screen protector unless you are constanly placing the phone in your pocket and exposing it to sharp objects. For the guy who said his finger scratched the glass, I lol'd. You must have sand paper fingers.
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
I bought a bunch of cheap screen protectors on ebay. They're pretty awesome...virtually invisible, and feels smooth as glass. Glad I got it. I went to the beach a few weeks ago and the sand would've scratched the hell out of my screen. I just removed the damaged protector, and put a new one on.

this is an interesting topic as i'm getting an evo 3d, i currently have a HD2 and have had it for over 2 years now, never had a screen protector and i have it in my pocket with keys and coins sometimes and there is not a single blemish on the screen!

but my friend has a sensation only had it 3 weeks and has a few nasty scratches, maybe we should be questioning the qulity of the glass on recent devices?

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
i thought this thread was going to be ****. but i'll chime in, because i HATE screen protectors... typically they are really annoying.

until i walked by a little kiosk in the mall... douchie salesman approached me and asked me what kind of phone i had.

i heard, "blah blah blah polyurethane...."

how much? 20 bucks? sold.

i don't even notice that **** is on there. polyurethane screen protectors can be so thin to the point you don't even notice them because polyurethane is a very high tensile strength material. i purposefully tried to scratch the polyurethane after i had this procedure, left a little mark (a dent really) and it had disappeared in a day.

so i would say, if you are going to get a cheap ass one from sprint, then don't waste your money. if you are going to get one that will actually be useful and not get ****ed in a month's time, then yes.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:

I also wanted to point out that i hate screen protectors also since they don't feel as nicely as glass but i also wanted to point out that polyurethanes are also the paints you put on your car and your house.

They are also relatively thick, if they do make a screen protector that is no more then 1 mil thick including adhesive then i would consider it in the future. They should just make it out of Polyethylene Terephthalate instead of polyurethane. It might give it a smoother feel.

I had my epic naked since October of 2010 and there have been no noticeable scratch since then. The Evo 3D screen is also holding up pretty well with out a screen protector since July of 2011.
