You can use any charger but, from what I've heard, if the output is higher than what is recommended for your phone, the battery life will be reduced.
[Galaxy S II General] Sparksltd:
This is not quite true.

The voltage of mini USB type chargers should always be 5volts. The current rating (amps) varies depending on the charger. Using a charger to charge a device to with a current rating lower than the current rating of the charger will make no difference. However using a charger to charge a device that requires a higher charging current could result it the device taking a longer time to charge and may not fully charge at all.

So most chargers will be fine to charge your phone. However if the charger current rating (amperes) is too low, you may find that if your using your phone while charging you could find the the battery will charge very slowly or even discharge (more likely when using something like navigation app). Both circumstances will make no difference to the health of the battery.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Hello,

about a week ago I updated most of my media on my phone with zune social tagger so that most songs had artist backgrounds. These backgrounds showed up on the phone during playback (back then on 7392) and when I played the song in Zune on the PC.

Sometimes I only have single song from an album. If I then searched for the album on the marketplace and found it, it would offer me 30 second snippets of all the songs but the one I have on my phone. Instead, this song would be played from my library without problems and with artist background.

However, since Mango these backgrounds are missing on some songs.

One example is the song "Renegade" from the Jay-Z album "The Blueprint".

I have only this song from the album.

The weird thing is that when I search for album in the marketplace, find it and start to play the tracks, it shows me the artist background.

However, when the track I have on my phone (Renegade) comes up, the artist background disappears.

On the PC the background is still there.

Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
OK I got a little further.

Apparently with Mango the way the artist backgrounds work has been changed at least a little bit.

The thing that was wrong in the song mentioned above (Renegade) was this:

The song is from a Jay-Z album and is by Jay-Z and Eminem. I had set the artist to this:

Jay-Z; Eminem

However, it was recognized as one artist by Zune and as such the artist of the song would show up as "Jay-Z; Eminem" which is not what I intended.

So I changed the artist tag using Windows Explorer. I first removed all the artist, then wrote in "Jay-Z" and saved, and then wrote in "Eminem" (after the auto generated semicolon) and saved again. I don't really know what's different in the artist tag now but somehow Zune seems to regocnize that there are two artist and only displays the first artist (as it should).

This fixed the missing background for this song.

Additonally, I noticed that songs which are not linked to Zune Marketplace songs now also have artist backgrounds as long as the artist tag is correct and I have an album by that artist on my phone.

For example the album "The Marshall Mathers LP" by Eminem is not in the German Zune Marketplace but I have it on my phone (not linked using zune social tagger).

When I play a song from that album I do have an artist background as long as the artist mp3 tag is set to Eminem (or set to "Eminem; xxx", as long as it is done using Windows Explorer (or probably also WMP etc.)).

However there are still artist backgrounds missing for some music from the device while they show up in the Zune software on the pc and the artist tag is correct.

For these artists I also don't have any backgrounds in when I tap on their names.

Another thing that doesn't work (probably a missing feature) is that when I play all songs by Eminem, Zune does not add songs to the list where Eminem is only the secondary artist (such as Renegade as noted above).

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] cruzzmz:
cool but in the free ver, sync took me more than 10 sec ... and not all contact will be shown also
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pckshd:
Hi, it will only sync contacts having phone numbers or email. Can you confirm that?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] cruzzmz:
after 5 min only 5 contacts with alphabet A are sync ... no more that that ...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pckshd:
Ok, maybe is this... When you only type "a" it will only list names starting with "a". If you type "ab" or more, then it will show all having "ab" at any part of the name. Its done for better performance.

But 5 minutes its a lot. How many contacts you have? linked to which accounts?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] eghostx:
hi, interesting app, but on my LG Optimus 7 with mango, the app just hangs during the sync process, after 10 minutes i just hit the cancel, the app only managed to get around 10-15 contacts with the letter A :(

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] crubbish:
The app certainly looks promissing. Couple of glitches/inconsistencies that I noticed.

You can't add second number of a contact to the quick dial section if it already contains another number of this contact.

You can't exit the app with back button if you have on-screen qwerty keyboard opened. You can by pushing windows button, otherwise you need to switch to numeric keypad first.

Opened contact doesn't always have all the numbers/email addresses listed. It looks as if max 4 lines can be displayed within contact (no scroll).

The keypress sounds included, albeit interesting, are not very business like. Perhaps regulard "tap" sound should be there as well (like the one stock keyboard has).

Perhaps there should be an option to only display contacts with phone numbers.

And perhaps an option to not display contact pictures. I'm not sure if this would increase app/search speed but would certainly give more space for displaying numbers & email addresses when the contact is opened (without need to scroll).

Are you planning to have search for some other (non-latin) alphabets enabled at some point pckshd? I'd purchase the app should it support search by Cyrillic letters.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pckshd:
@rubbish, thanks, yes some functionality is limited and will come through version updates.

Btw to add a different number to People wall you first need to remove the old one (while on the edit screen, click on it to remove).

Other characters will be added once we have localization with help of translators.

I have uploaded 2.0.0.1 with some fixes:

Fixed back navigation when using abc pad

Added standard 'tap' sound

Fixed menu bar hidden after changing wall layout

Fixed some contacts getting lost when changing to a layout with fewer slots

I can't sync contacts
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] cruzzmz:
works just fine .... really like the dialer

i found out the live tiles not working after a while ... if put more than 2 tiles in my case
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ahmedfikry:
smart dialing allows you to look for letters in the contact name,,,,can it allow you to look for numbers too (example: if i click 010 it would pull all contacts that have 010 in start or middle of their phone number)?

also i can not get live tile to work...after i add "people" and change the settings it creates a tile with contact photos but its not moving, flipping..etc

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pckshd:
Hi, it does search by phone number but only for numbers starting with the search pattern. But looks like there is a current problem with the ones starting with zero.

About the live tile, we still haven't determined how could animations impact on battery live so for now its static only.

There is another live tile related feature we will be including soon.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streakOwner:
Does anyone know where is the service tag ( that 7 character string you get when you purchase the mobile ) stored or any way to change it etc.

Thank you in advance, ...... and yes I did google about it but I couldn't find anything useful , maybe any Joda here might know.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHildebrandt:
It's physically on a black sticker under the battery door and it's in the firmware under: menu/settings/about phone. It's most likely stealthed somewhere else in the firmware as well..... Hope that helps
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streakOwner:
My question was not how to see that, but where is stored and is there any way to change that, ( not by using a Xerox, lol ).
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Why do you need to change it in the first place?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streakOwner:
Why not ?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Because it sounds fishy - that tag is used to identify the Streak to Dell for warranty issues for one thing.

Also - because there is no benefit, AFAIK, that can be derived from changing it that does not involve fraud of some kind. If there is, enlighten me.

If you have no intent to deceive then you have no reason to keep the reason a secret.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Dell's warranty is quite specific:

Dell would not service such a unit under warranty, and has two ways to deny warranty service. The alteration of the tags is the obvious one. Regardless of whether the tag in the battery compartment is removed or not, Dell can tell if the service tag has been changed. The other option is to declare that the unit has been serviced by someone other than Dell. Frankenstein Streaks cobbled together from different non-functional Streaks fall under this.

What the OP is attempting will not work, and his alterations - if they could be done - would facilitate fraud. Thus illegal, and should not be discussed here.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
The service tag can be changed, but not in a predictable way.

And just as much unless you can give us a valid reason as mentioned above it's warrentee fraud and likely illegal.

If you have a good reason it might be possible, regardless it's more work then to buy a new streak/streak mobo unless you already own the equipement to do it already. If you did you likely already know, have a clue on how to do it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streakOwner:
Thank you for the info The Manii , I am already on the way, the question arrived when I was trying my best to brick the streak totally and intentionally but in a controllable way , I observed that one time I had lost my service tag, was just empty there, so that wasn't being parsed I guess , why etc I don't know .

As for the other answers from those Dell guards , I can say this, I bought my streak in Aug , this is the first smart phone I own, never been interested in such things before, but this reminds me of the old days when I was active member of Astalavista and was putting my hands on some thing called Linux ( must had been around 1997 I guess ) , very very interesting , carrying this little Linux with me all the time now making me feel like that again. Do not judge next time, if you don't know something you better do like those other people that did read this thread but didn't comment on the legality of my thoughts, walk away peacefully.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Just to point this out, had you answered my original question in the first place with the same response you gave Manii, you wouldn't have gotten Dell's warranty and comments about the legality of it all shoved down your throat. Instead you tried to be all coy about it and answer questions with questions. So don't play the "righteous indignation" card, because you have no one to blame but yourself for the responses you got.
[HTC EVO 3D] gotojanoo:
Hi,

I just got the evo 3d from CL. its on 1.50 hboot so am already in pain.

The guy says its rooted and yeah its comes with synergy_RLS1-shooter kingdom.Looks like they used htc tool to unlock

Now the bad thing is there is no option for factory reset.And i can't even boot in to recovery so i can not install any rom.ROm manager is there even power button gave me a option to boot in recovery but after that its just boots in to synergy rom.Its can't go to recovery.Please guys need your help to install recovery and i wanna install different rom. 3g and 4g is damn slow with this rom. And worst thing i can't factory reset. even i tried with bootling in to bootloader and there is a option for factory reset but that one is not worked either.Searched lots of forums and videos. But somehow adb always gives me an error while i try to push any command. Any help will be appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Try performing the fastboot commant "FASTBOOT OEM LOCK"

After that, run the newest RUU and you will be back to factory stock
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
If you have ROM Manager installed try reinstalling the recovery image using that program. After that, look in the development section for the stock rooted rom and flash that. You should be all good at that point. If you are still having trouble with Rom Manager you might want to check out Team Wins recovery tool TWRP. Good luck.

[HD2 General] ADB100:
I have had my HD2 since March 2011. It is unlocked, HSPL 2.08 and radio 2.15.50.14. Apart from the known issues with the Phone Canvas with later WM6.5 builds it has been fine. I have been cooking ROMs since my Wizard and then the Blackstone so I am reasonably experienced. I currently have my own custom build installed based on 5.2.23568.

For about a week now it seems to have developed a fault in that the GSM signal just drops off and then goes 'searching'. If I soft-reset the phone it will usually come back and then start to drop off again. If I disable the GSM radio and then re-enable it sometimes it won't enable immediately and might take three goes at the slider going green and then it asking for my PIN.

I have hard-reset, installed various different radios and recently re-flashed but the issue remains. I have also taken the case off the phone and ensured the 'touch' connecters are making contact with the antenna in the case housing. I ahave also reflashed te stock ROM and still the issue remains.

I have now reverted back to my Blackstone as it has become intolerable.

At the moment I have the Blackstone and the HD2 sat next to each other (both with Vodafone SIM cards installed) and the Blackstone has all 4-bars displayed and the HD2 has the 'Martini glass' searching symbol displayed.

Its an eBay purchase but is more or less immaculate - it isn't something I can get my carrier to repair if it is a hardware fault.....

Any ideas
[HD2 General] johnerz:
First (not trying to be rude) have you swopped sim cards to ensure its not a sim issue?

Next (I read on you trying different roms) task 29 and reinstall a stock win mo rom, its been known that on occasions failures are resolved by doing this, if it works they put your rom back on.

sadly thats the best I can offer :(
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Like above check sim card fully & network for issues.

I had a very similar issue on my old Touch Pro, signal would go weak & sometimes overnight would loose conection & I would need to toggle flight mode & then all would be ok.

I started think that was likely hardware after calling network & tech support was convinced my device, well turned out was network prob & only linked to that one sim & how it registered to tower !

So check it out well.

Also you could try padding the back of the sim with some tape in case it is a sim contact issue ... & perhaps flash a stock ROM from SD so everwrite HSPL,Radio & also rilphone.dll will all be paired as should be !

All long shots but not much else left ... Good luck ...
[HD2 General] hrga:
I have similar problem. The phone has weak signal and it looses signal on weaker spots where other phones have full signal.

I have HD2 from US and I am in Europe. Maybe I should put some Europe RAdio?

Also sound is very low.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Take CARE when flashing radios as non compatible versions on a US T-Mobile HD2 could result in HD2 paperweight.

My HD2 seems on par with other devices I have compared it for reception strength & I use it in some weak areas without issues.

Have seen a few posts on weak reception so it is either a particular SPL Radio & ROM combo is to blame or hardware issue if unlucky ...
[HD2 General] ADB100:
Thanks for the replies it's much appreciated.

Firstly I have swapped SIM cards around (Vodafone Contract SIM & Vodafone Pay&Go SIM) and the fault follows the HD2. I think it has to be hardware or somthing 'unique' with my IMEI number and it registering?

It seems bizzare as I can sit here and watch the signal bars gradually drop off and then it go to 'searching' whilst the Blackstone just sits there happily with 3-bars and never budges.

I am unsure how to approach Vodafone about it as its my own phone (not supplied on a contract) and I think they would be able to give me some technical information as to what's happening with the registrations.

Andy
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I would recommend try other network sims or a foreign sim & you can then connect to various networks (roaming) & test signal reception.

That is how I got evidence that it was my network (DTAC) at fault, luckily my network main Office is near my work office so I turned up & pushed the issue until they produced a technical individual with the required knowledge & gumption to help resolve the issue.

The Phone Techies are useless unless you get lucky & we are talking national lottery lucky here.

Chances of hardware are quite high too as a few threads along same issue as yours are around on HD2 reception.
[HD2 General] ADB100:
It gets more bizzare - Since the Leo is just better than the Blackstone I decided to take both with me and keep the Blackstone as 'fallback'. Tuesday & Wednesday I worked in Hull and the Leo worked just fine. Went out to the pub last night and the Leo just wouldn't register. Over a period of about 15-minutes I tried soft resetting, taking the battery out etc but nothing. I gave up and left the phone on the bar whilst I was talking to someone and then 5-minutes later I get a text - check the phone and its got 3-bars of signal? I sent a text reply and then the phone seemed to be OK.

Today the phone has been in the same position at home where I took the photo above and its not lost connection all day (so far).

I don't know what to think but I still believe it isn't fixed....

Hello,

i just wanted to let you know that we started to receive Galaxy SII LTE from SK Telecom in our shop in Seoul. If anyone have any questions i can answer...

First things i noticed:

1)It comes with 2.3.5

2)The wifi configuration page has been completely redesigned

3)blu glowing effect in almost every component including the browser

4)The back of the phone has a nice brushed metal look (but still plastic)

5)Screen is amazing

We should receive 5/6 of these everyday so if you are interested in having one shipped drop me a private message.

Cheers
