[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
There are 2 features on this phone that are just so stupid that i've seen so far which I am suggesting be fixed with a custom rom. The first one has to do with the pattern lock. I don't understand why samsung does this but when you set the time for the lock to come on, it only works if the screen turns off by ITSELF. If you turn the screen off yourself like most people do the screen locks immediately regardless of the time you have it set for. My evo never did this. It would set the timer regardless of if you shut it off or if it turns itself off.

A second feature that is missing from this phone that the Evo has is the ability to set your notification volume to the same as your standard ringer volume. This feature should be in there. It's ridiculous that you have to turn down each one seperately. Phones from 8 years ago had this feature. Whenever custom roms are made for this phone can you guys please add these into the phone.

My 2 fix request,

Proximity sensor needs to be a little more sensitive & less wakeup delay when turning on device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
Ability to turn off camera sounds.

Ability to turn off that horrible notification when the phone is fully charged. You come home from a long day, plug in your phone, and then go to sleep, and then in the middle of the night it beeps with a notification to let you know it's charged. What an *sshole. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Oh god tell me they didn't keep that! Lol the devs got rid of it for the og epic and I am sure they will here. There is a app called silent sleep that can help with that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
I talk to my phone a lot using Google search. On my Evo it worked great all the time. On this phone it seems to listen to me talk..then just sit there for a long time...like it's still listening, but i'm way done talking. then eventually comes up and says "no audio heard". Not sure what's up with that. Seems to mostly happen when I'm driving.

love to see that cleared up. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
re enabling USB Host would be nice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JAmerican:
I hope this is one of the first things that is enabled after rooting.

Welcome to Samsung former Evo users, all normal stuff.. pretty similar to Epic "features" from whats been said.. Old news nothing new to see here :-p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
Appreciate that, I'd probably still be on my EVO however, I dropped it and shattered the screen. Apparently, this warrants me to use my wife's upgrade ;)

I'll pay a dev to mod the browser with a desktop setting!

First device I've ever seen that also disables this capacity with third party browsers.

Sure glad I got this FOUR POINT FIVE INCH SCREEN!

Dumbass Samsung .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
could you explain exactly what is not happening here with the browser. i read this topic in the general section couple days ago also, and it seems like its wrong.

i use skyfire, and when in mobile mode, all websites load as mobile (that's the idea). and once i change it to desktop mode, all the websites load as they would on a desktop... if you are saying NO THEY DON'T, could you please tell me what website, cause i tried about 10-15, and they all loaded in the mode i chose
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tridogg97:
Change the lock time to immediately and it will lock when you cut the power.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
You couldnt be more wrong about the desktop view being disabled in all browsers. Yes its not a feature in the default browser...which is fine seeing as how most sites have the option at the botton to "Load Standard Page View". But most ANY browser Including Opera Mobile (The Best Browser IMHO Anyway) Dolphin HD Etc. For Opera Mobile go to Settings>Advanced>UserAgent>Desktop. And no you dont have to set this everytime you close the browser, it keeps those settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Yeah I'm perplexed when some say it works for them.

Haven't tried skyfire but all the rest I usually test nytimes, engadget.com, gizmodo.com for example.

Do those open in.desktop for you?

No i'm saying I don't want it to be immediate. I set it to 10 minutes and it will only wait the 10 minutes if I don't turn off the screen and wait and let it shut off by itself after one minute which is the absolutely the dumbest thing i've seen. Who actually waits for the screen to turn off all the time? You won't have akeyguard in your pocket and it wastes battery if you wait.

So far htc sense seems much better than the samsung touchwiz interface. Hopefully they can add some features from sense to this phone.

All you have to do in the stock browser is in the url box type About:UserAgent and you can select what mode you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] njfoses:
Yea but once you close the browser the setting resets.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Huge pain I'm the ass if you are on internet a lot.

Unacceptable workaround.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
I was just letting you know the option was there. Better than not being able to do it at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Staxeon:
Turn off 3G from the notification bar dropdown.

Add messaging app of my choice to the homescreen tray. Hate having a static shortcut across all my homescreens that I never use since I use HandCent.

(also +1 the one/unified volume bar for ringer and notifications, or at least add a checkbox for the option of using the same level)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
It's not static. Just open the app drawer click menu then edit. You will have to change it to adjustible grid. Now drag the app of your choice to the dock. Boom, you're good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkpoe:
unified volume control, browser, UI

If you don't like touchwiz launcher, its android change it...

If you don't like Stock Browser, its android change it...

And my guess is out of this list of apps https://market.android.com/search?q=volume+controller&so=1&c=apps, I bet you will find one to control the volume in a unified fashion (there was an app that did that for a fact called Volume button controller, but it has been removed).. and again because its android.. So let the dev's worry about getting us some cool **** running for these phones and not have to deal with easily controlled quirks that you don't like.. and if you don't like the phone return it.. go get something else.. Its a return policy.. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigger123:
Hello all,

I have used the following guide to debrand my S2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1064894 (I followed it to the letter including step 8) I assumed this would debrand the phone and allow me to use Kies to update the phone as normal without having to wait for my carrier to release updates. Note: this is the only reason I performed the debranding, I had no intention of ‘rooting’ the phone.

So you can imagine my horror when I connected the phone to Kies and was presented with the message:

“This version of the device cannot be updated”

Have I done something wrong? And is this fixable/reversible? I am now starting to wish I hadn’t been so impatient and tinkered with my new toy instead of leaving it to Vodafone…

If anyone knows how an idiots guide on how to fix this I would be very grateful for your advice. Below is some information off of the phone itself and Kies.

Kies says:

Current firmware version : PDA:KDD / PHONE:KDH / CSC:KD1 (VOD)

But if I press *#272*IMEI# The phone says: Sales code XEU

Note: Kies says VOD and the phone states XEU (is this where the problem lies?)

Also in settings>about phone, the following is displayed:

Android version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: I9100XXKDH

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513root@DELL103#2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Vod = Vodafone

XEU = UK

KDD very old firmware

CSC KD1 is VOD Vodafone CSC

Phone details all KDD

Kies never use it as i have never had an update after changing firmware and i have no intention of waiting six months for firmware .

Kies just does not like some changes made but works with others .

You can always put a Voda firmware on from provider roms thread .

or flash stock rom from stock rom thread .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigger123:
Thanks for your reply JJE, i thought i had flashed a stock rom? what have i flashed?

I would prefer to get the updates working over Kies if possible as if i had bought an unbranded phone. I thought that completing step 8 of the guide would change the CSC to a generic one, what is the reason for Kies seeing 'VOD'?

Thanks for sparing some of your time!

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Never mind, i have solved the problem. Incase anyone else has the same issues the solution can be found below.

Update the phone by going to settings>about phone>software update then register for a samsung account. The phone then downloaded the update over the air and installed.

After this when i connect to Kies i get the message "This is the latest Firmware"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerboii:
What version is the phone now after doing the update?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Rare to get OTA updates you are one of the few.

I now have the following version:-

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markoleti:
I cant update via kies too. When i try ota update, cant connect to the server! :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffarJoh:
Another way to go is to use SpoofFw if you are rooted. It will spoof another branding and will let you update to that branding using kies. Root and busybox is needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markoleti:
When i come home, i will try it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
Kind of related to this thread... I had gotten the same message with stock firmware unrooted with KG2 firmware. Once I rooted it and flashed back the stock firmware, the message changed to "No updates currently available" instead of "This device cannot be updated". Strange.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurav.kabra:
Samsung understands when you root your phone the ROM or kernel you have put will not be recognized by them and hence the message...However, if you put in the stock firmware back then the updates by Samsung for your firmware version(if any) will be available for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
It's actually backwards. When my device was completely stock, it said "This device cannot be updated". But now that it's rooted, it says "No updates currently available".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markoleti:
I tried everything and still indicate that the phone can be updated!!! this is sooo bored ... have someone idea what to do next? if next exist!

[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I would like to edit my 3D videos on my pc, I copy the .mp4 file to my laptop and find nothing even plays it.

On further examination I have determined the video is using the 3gp4 container and that the video itself is Mp4 V1 according to the Gspot program for Windows but nothing will open it to play or edit.

I have tried every Windows program I can think of from VirtualDubMod to AviDemux and Super, does anyone have any idea how to edit or even convert this video to a playable or editable format please?

Dave

Edit: Found a solution, posted solution as a guide in a seperate post :)
[LG Optimus 3D] taytay209:
I've edited stereofootage using The Foundery's NukeX but it was an image sequence. Meaning i had left eye and right eye frames. Ill mess around with it tomarrow and see if im able to import my 3D footage in to any of my video editing software. Or seperate the footage in to left and right eye sequences. If your trying to edit your 2D footage try Adobe After Effects or Premeire.

sent from my %s running Thriller. Using the XDA app.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I can edit 3D images but nothing, even VLC, will read yet alone edit the video produced by the Optimus 3D. Ideally I would like, as with other mepg 4 files, to edit the video in VirtualDubMod as I do with 2D footage (from other sources) but unfortunately for some reason the mpeg 4 video is stored in a non standard 3gp mp4 container that so far no programs will read.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] MABManZ:
Though it would not play initially, I was able to convert it to another format using AnyVideoConverter and then view on my PC using the stereoscopic player (I have nVidia 3D Vision and 3D monitor). I also have K-Lite Codec pack installed.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I tried the trial version fo that but it always says fail :(

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
You could try to upload it to Youtube and use the online editor. It even allows you to add music to your movies, etc.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I could try that but I dont want to upload, and thus share, my videos then redownload them just to edit them. Very dissapointed in how badly the video is contained in a non standard 3gp variant when the video could have been stored in standard mpeg 4 format. I will have to just hope somehow a program out there can convert the video as uploading a potentially large file with my isp can take hours and so would be impractical :(

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
You don't have to share what you upload, but I agree that it would be a pita to upload large files to the service...
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I found a way and will put a brief guide in a seperate post in case it helps someone :)

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] ofutur:
Great news :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Lulu Blue:
You need a 3D video editor

Wondering if you're still there.

Is your original video file mp4? You need a 3D video editor which can edit mp4 videos.

A good 3D video editing program can help to edit videos. But you should know that viewing 3D video on your pc need 3D glasses.
[HTC Desire S] shariaphobia:
Hi,

Problem

: my desire s is not Booting up!! {not even in recovery mode} it is S-off and rooted

Symptoms: if i try to boot up it just vibrates for 2-3 times and the Red Charge indicator light, turns on. if i try to hold down the volume key & press the on key then it vibrates for 2-3 times & the Green indicator light turn on. That's it!! it is stuck there... doesn't boot up or anything.

What might have happened last night!!:

1. i downloaded some games apk from different websites and installed those.

2. tried to update ROM manager but failed

3. suddenly the volume increase indication came up in my screen (without even touching the volume keys!!) this kept coming...then i decided to give it a restart...after restarting everything came back to normal

4. but again it started to show up this morning...so decided to restart it again...and thats it....it wont boot up again!!!

Guys please DO help me out!!

Thanx in advance

Hello

Attempt to put charge into the phone by plugging it into the main charger.

Does the charge light come on when the phone is being charged?

Now download and Install the adb & fastboot onto your PC which you'll see in a link in my signature. Ensure that you have HTC drivers on you PC if not also download and install the link in my signature.

Plug phone into PC by USB cable.

Then fire up a CMD on your PC, go to directory where adb is and issue the command

[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]

?

whats the response?
[HTC Desire S] shariaphobia:
thanx for the reply bro...

if i enter "adb devices" it shows:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

Now what shall i do???...please help me out...i m very novice in this matter <

to be mentioned that... i had a given factory reset before this!!

After startup and the two vibrates, what's on the screen?

were you forced to pull the battery at any point?
[HTC Desire S] shariaphobia:
after the vibration the screen doesn't show anything!! its just pitch dark...

[HTC Desire S] shariaphobia:
The most unexpected happen right now!!!!

i installed the adb tools then plugged in my device to the pc..suddenly it booted up...everything seemed to work perfectly {though the volume increase notification was still bugging me!!!}.

So, i decided to give it a Factory default reset. i went to the settings & clicked the factory default button....it gave me a couple of warnings and wiped all the installed apps. then it started to restart again...!!!

AND Here you go ....its stuck again!!!! Back to that old black screen & the red light!!!!!

Please tell me WHAT to do????? plz i m waiting...should i plug it out???

<if i try to boot into recovery mode...it vibrates 4 times the green lights turns on!!>
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Very strange indeed, can you recall any part of the warnings?

Unless the phone semi-boots or can at least be recognised by adb (which yours doesn't) then you can use the HTC ROM utility to re-flash your phone)

Does sounds frightening like a hardware related issue, although it's difficult to tell as it appears to intermittently boot!?

The good thing is if it won't boot then hopefully the service centre won't be able to tell that you S-off'd so may well replace unit or motherboard for you under warranty.
[HTC Desire S] shariaphobia:
bro ...i m really getting hopeless here!!!!

1. Can u plz tell me the steps if the adb recognizes my set or give me some links so that i can follow....

2. Or tell me the steps to use RUU to flash my set

Anyways thanx a lot for yr time

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

bro...

i've tried the adb devices command again...now it shows this message:

List of devices attached

HT15JTJ05547 recovery

Does it mean anything???
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes that's good news.....Although I'm at work now so bit busy...

Try

adb reboot recovery

from the PC if it loads into recovery Good!

From recovery try to format the CACHE partition, write what happens?

I'd then say download a wipe script and a safe custom ROM and then load them onto your SD card, ie like LBC Mod v0.6.0

If no errors, then first flash the wipe ZIP file and then the LBC ROM ZIP file using the "install from sdcard/zip file options from your recovery....

Report back any errors...if you're not quite sure of any of the steps then ask questions....I'll check back later...
[HTC Desire S] shariaphobia:
Nope...if i enter the command adb reboot recovery...its just vibrates twice and nothing comes on the screen (with the red light on).........!!

i guess i have go for RUU process

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

i just remembered one thing....couple of days ago i installed the FOTA updates...has that changed something in my S-OFF or Root????
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm getting out of my depth here....As we don't know what version of ROm you're now running especially if you ran the OTA. There is a possibility that the OTA has removed your custom recovery, S-OFF and root. As as you can't see the HBOOT screen you can't confirm that you're even still S-OFF..

You could try to start to run an RUU as this might tell you want you current ROM version is......

But I'd wait for someone else to provide some more advice...as I don't know what the "recovery" next to your device serial number from adb devices quite means ( I assume it means that your device is in recovery)...

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

google adb yourself and see what safe options and commands of it you can use that will provide you with further information about your phone
[HTC Desire S] shariaphobia:
hi...

Thanx to ALLAH...may b at last i have found the problem area.

it is the volume rocker!!! somehow the "+" side of the volume rocker is jammed so, whenever i try to boot the device it goes in a recovery mode!!!

But strangely though when I played with the volume buttons and they don't feel jammed at all, the vol. down button is clicking fine, doesn't feel stuck or anything. And if that wasn't bad enough, I tried turning my phone off and on, but when turning it on, it still thinks it's held down so it will only boot into recovery!!!

is there any solutions for it???
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Well done in discovering the fault

But, I'm afraid that I don't know of any way to disable the buttons, without obviously dis-mantling the case from the unit (which is way over my head) ...
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
this maybe a daft question but have you tried the command

adb reboot

(not adb reboot recovery)?

if this does not work you may have to take your device to HTC
