[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Neither Sprint nor T-mobile have the FM radio at this point... At least according to SPECIFICATION sheets for both carriers. Here at work, I have a friend that bought the T-mobile version and have confrimed first hand that it does not include FM radio... So far, I have no other first hand knowledge about the SPRINT version other than the SPEC SHEET...

Will update if I can confirm on Sprint 1st hand...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
BTW, between AT&T's legal disclaimer regarding website content AND the fact that this error was corrected long before the return period for any GS2 owner expired - I wouldn't bother trying to sue them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pistou:
While you are no doubt right, the implication is that false advertising is OK as long as you offer an out for those you have tricked. My guess is that statistically fewer people will return the item than will keep it, resulting in a net profit for AT&T as a result of the false advertising.

And yes, you can say that it was a "typo", but as intent is very hard to prove, any company could do the same maliciously (i.e. in a mercenary manner) and bat their corporate eyebrows after the fact (i.e. after reaping the profits resulting from the false advertising), claiming that it was an honest mistake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Corporate Greed vs. Honest Mistake...

Yes, unfortunately this is business as usual for the big guys and the little guys are all the more to suffer for it. By court's law, as long as the company tries their best to correct their mistake and doesn't make it a habitual practice to have these types of *TYPOS* at the launch of every new handset, then the company is legally in the clear...

Now if one can prove that AT&T has done this multiple times in the past, and is still continuing this practice, that *WOULD* be a horse of a different color!

No customer can sue them. You'd have to arbitrate them. It's in the subscriber agreement we're all bound by.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skataben:
I finally got what I wanted. AT&T said they would not credit me anything until the phone had been returned to the store where I purchased it. They said I would have to pay the restock fee up front, but they would put a note on my account to add the credit afterwards.

Well, they were true to their word. I returned the phone to the store. They put me on the exact same plan I was on before. (They didn't even complain about a little nick in the side of phone.) I was refunded the price of the phone minus the $35 restock fee.

I just now got off the phone with customer service. They credited my account with the $35 restock fee and the $18 upgrade fee. Yay! \o/

Now, off to shop for the international version of this phone...

I'm not 100% sure, but according to this:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9149

CM7 has an FM radio app that works for the I777.

Under Sat October 29th nightly for CM 7.1:

That's interesting...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
FM Radio HW Actually Present?

Also on this page, the second post mentions that he tried the FM Radio app and that it's doing something, just not working fully yet. That's good news I think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erraz:
Can someone please give us a straight foward answer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It's already been given - all the evidence we have says it isn't there. There's a SLIGHT chance it might be there, but right now:

1) Compiling the driver into the kernel results in the driver giving a ****-ton of error messages when it loads

2) SamsungJohn said the hardware isn't there

Those are both pretty good signs that - it isn't there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erraz:
Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Warjcowski:
The galaxy note has an FM radio. What chip do they have? Anything in the source that might help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No. It has the same chip as the I9100
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Xev_10177:
Most of the times, when someone calls me, I can't hear them. I have to toggle on/off speakerphone, and it'll fix itself. When I'm in stock, it works fine. I thought it was the ROM, but I used the ROM before, and it worked fine back then. Same ROM version.

I previously had DlevROM 5.0, and I know that was in the bugs list, but in the bugs list, it says "1st call after boot has no sound". To me, it wasn't just the first, it was every single one. So, I went back to stock, then flashed Serendipity (I was bored, so I decided to kill some time going to stock, then flashing a custom ROM). I had used Serendipity before, but now, I have the same call problem as with DelvROM. I didn't have that problem the last time I used Serendipity. Is it some file that got "ruined"?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Try flashing Infused and see if the problem still persists...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Xev_10177:
Ok. I'll flash tomorrow, and I'll let you know if it worked. Thanks a bunch.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
Hey guys.

I hate to make yet another thread on a topic that seems to have been beaten to death, but I can't take this anymore. My battery life has been really ****ty lately, like extra ****ty. With poop on top. It's gotten to the point where after 5 hours its under 30%, and this is with very minimal use. I don't know why this is, maybe because I sbfd last Thursday, and the battery calibration stuff is screwed up... Or maybe its because I started using widgetlocker recently, idk.

Anyways, attached us the battery use monitor thing. The first screenshot is from this morning, showing how I lost 10 percent battery doing NOTHING for 45 minutes. The next shows my battery being dead after 5 hours of very light use.

In both screenshots the top waster of battery is the phone idle. Is there anything I can do to minimize this battery drain from the phone doing nothing? I have eclipse v6 blurless (v7 seemed more unstable and i'm not into the cyan theme) and I am not using any special scripts.

Any advice/thoughts/sympathy would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattbc1:
Go to the market and find an app called "battery calibration". It will have instructions in the app on how to use it, and it should help you out.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Watch out about using replacement words for excrement, sir caps a lot will report you to the clown.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Oh this cracked me up.

And he will. I'm proof ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I've had the best success by doing this: Download battery calibration from the market (free). Charge your phone to 100% and run battery calibration, but DO NOT remove your charge cable! Leaving the cable plugged in will prevent the phone from creating a new batterystats.bin, I believe. Ok, now reboot your phone and unplug the charge cable allowing the batterystats.bin to be created at the 'M' logo. **Before proceeding, be sure recovery mode is set in System Recovery.** Discharge your phone till it shuts off. Proceed to charge to 100% uninterrupted. After fully charged then pull the cable and simply reboot your phone..

There are many ways to calibrate your battery, but I found doing it this way has proven the best (2.5 - 3% /hr drop) given my varying use of the phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] KurioHonoo:
Im sad I never thought of that

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
I'm going to try this... But why do I need recovery mode set, and when you say discharge your phone does that mean I can wipe battery stats this morning, follow all the steps up to the moto logo and then just go out and around my daily business until my phones battery completely dies?
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
I'd hope lol or you'd be waiting around for it to die for a couple days.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I only say to have recovery mode enabled b/c if you don't have either charge or recovery set (new flashed ROM) then your phone will sit at the moto logo after discharge. My attempt to avoid you thinking it's bricked. :) And yes, go about your daily business after recreating the .bin file
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
U DO NOT want recover mode set if u plan on letting your phone battery run ALL THE WAY DOWN. Recovery mode will hijack your charge only mode.

U will want CHARGE mode to be set so u can CHARGE instead of going into recovery like your.phone will do when u power off and plug in.

I also just want to say to google lithium ion battery. U should find that these batteries will actually lose life if u let it completely discharge to much. They are designed to get low(5-15%) and be charged not to be complete dead. Not letting it die can improve battery life. Just saying. I don't ever try to let it die 100%. I always get it on a charger before it shuts down.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Sigh. It'll charge while in recovery.. I do it every night.

EDIT: I charge it in recovery mode every night. And believe me, as little as I let battery die it's fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I understand that but u have no way of seeing how much it is charged. If ur just gonna leave it charge overnight go for it ;) otherwise if u want to see how much it has charged u want charge mode on..;)

Edit::: sorry I didn't read al the posts to see your explanation of why recovery mode ...duh ash lol. That's what I get...sorry :p
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
You make something so simple too complicated. lol :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Hahaha. Yes I have been known to do that on occasion. But that's what I get for not having my coffee today. I just cracked a red bull after realizing how much I need it lol need to vitalize my mind hahaha...

I just wish I had drank a redbull last night before I flashed the new eclipse. I wanted to make a android of the stock in case I wanted to go back to stock at any point but silly old me just flashed while half asleep without even wiping data even. I woke up this morning to see my phone still in recovery with install complete but no wipes or backups before it. I was like www damn. Phone bootlooped till I went and wiped. Im an idiot. Now to get a android of stock im gonna have to sbf and start all over again. But I don't have a computer to do with. O well. Lol

Sorry...that wasn't even close to on subject haha
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Recalibrate your battery.. and install the Speedy Scripts... IDK how your current setup is, but if you flash a new rom, its always in best interest to recalibrate your battery. CHARGE OVER NIGHT>RUN RECALIBRATION TOOL AS STATED WITH PLUGGED IN>WAIT FOR 15 MINS>UNPLUG>DRAIN BATTERY TILL FULLY DEPLETED>INSERT AC POWER CABLE AND CHARGE FULLY>BETTER BATTERY LIFE

further suggestions

Install the Speedy Scripts in the x2 Dev section or Get a The SuperCharger scripts and fix OOM grouping to bulletproof and set to big memory device.

Enjoy 14+Hours of Battery Life.

Also, If you are in a bad service area, put in Airplane mode while you are not using your phone or in a bad area.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
You guys seem to know what you're talking about so let me ask you this: what do you think about Juice Defender? Does it help, do nothing, or actually make your phone worse? Lots of different opinions out there.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I noticed an improvement in battery life when using Eclipse v5. I was getting the life the OP mentioned and juice defender helped with that. I suggest to try it and compare your results w/out it..
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I have had inconsistent results using it. I have juice defender plus.

The main thing it does is it kills/manages ur data connection as that is the main things that drain battery running in background

I have had a few days where it worked and gave me an extra couple hours battery and some days where I didn't notice a difference.

I just wish I could set my phones own battery and data manager to shut data off whenever I turn screen off instead of 15mins of inactivity.
[Motorola Droid X2] Zues532:
If wiping battery stats doesn't do it for you, you could always go with an extremely minimal setup..

I'm talking 0% brightness, BT/GPS/Wi-Fi Off, a data managing program that turns off data and restores it at set intervals, SetCPU to make a screenoff profile, NO SYNCING of anything (FB off) email set to 1hr (or whatever the minimum is). 1 Home Screen, minimal widgets.

If you really want to get extreme you could use Titanium to freeze FB/Google Maps and unfreeze when you need them. I don't use FB on my phone and I rarely use G Maps so it doesn't bother me to have them frozen.

With all that I get an easy day out of my phone with light use (< 30 text messages, < 15 minutes call time, an hour of browsing on Wi-Fi, and a couple hours of music) probably a full day of Moderate use, and 8 hours of heavy use.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I USED to freeze a LOT of app giving me GREAT battery but now that bloat freezer is suddenly off.market(screw u google bring it back!!!) I can't. And im not gonna get titanium I never wanted it . I just want bloat freezer back. This is.bullcrap. seriously
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I don't freeze anymore Impresa i'm not sure of the results than I'll freeze for a day to see if it causes any issues. From what I read on the wiki for tibu is that a frozen app can still run in the bckgrd b/c it's still in the dalvik cache. After I remove unwanted system apps I clear the dalvik and free up like 13mb of system files from those apps.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Some one should put the apk on media fire.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yeah what I would do is freeze everything I didn't use CONSTANT then use root explorer and remove most of them. Then clear dalvik. Then run really smooth. Bloat freezer had a different "better" way of freezing imho. It worked great.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
That sucks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
Can I ask for an HTC Sense 2.1 rom? I really find the Sense 3.0 rosie a hassle and the carousel, though pretty cool, gets annoying when I need to quickly scroll to a certain homescreen. Also I prefer the smooth basic screen transitions of Sense 2.1 as opposed to the 3D effect transition on Sense 3.0 roms.

Actually, IMO, the best rom would be an HTC Sense 2.1 with Sense 3.0 features (lockscreen mainly) fusion. Can anyone make it happen? (aka Undeadk9) ;)

FOR A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT I'M SAYING, here's a Tmobile G2/HTC Desire Z running an HTC 2.1 base+3.0 rom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ-kNW-nGFA
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Ummm no. Sense 3.0 is so much better. No dev would do that. It's not something a large group of people would use.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
You're right but I just want to make sure: Is it possible to downgrade our MT4GS's Sense 3.0 to Sense 2.1? If so, how? (I'd like to design a custom rom myself ;))
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
You would need to find a phone compatible with our device. I'm thinking the MT4G or Desire HD and port it to Doubleshot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
From my developmental tests from Sense 2.1- Sense 3.0 on the HTC HD2 and Desire HD,

I realized that it's possible to port the Sense 3.0 rosie to a Sense 2.1 rom. I'm wondering if it's possible to port the Sense 2.1 rosie to our MT4GS's Sense 3.0?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Sense 2.1 sucks compared to 3.0 use undead sensless rom u wont be dissapointent
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sinfamy:
I could probably do that, but I only make ROMS I intend on using, I'm pretty busy with school and work, but If I have a free weekend I might give it a try. However I don't think it would be worth it, a lot of features would be cut, since I wouldn't spend time optimizing it for the MT4GS, just the basic 2.1 ROM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
Thanks dude, I appreciate it alot man. And I know what you mean about busy. 5 AP classes + a job leaves very little free time, let alone the fact that you have other stuff to do. But if you could get the basic Sense 2.1 rosie and perhaps provide me tips on how to implement the widgets (especially the clock widget, it's basically the trademark of Sense haha), that would be all I'd need.

Also, couldn't you literally just replace the Rosie from a MyTouch4g/DesireHD sense 2.1 rom, as well as the other htc widgets as Seo did to bring a Sense 3.0 port to Sense 2.1 roms?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062962

The reason I want this is simply because I hate the carousel of Sense 3.0 (it still lags occasionally), but love the widgets.

I simply don't like the features of LPP or ADW because, in those launchers I can't use Sense widgets...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
The carousel lags? Apparently you never flashed my sense on crack rom. I never got any lag at all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
You're right I haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a shot sometime later. Too lazy to s-off and sort it out. I just hate the 3d flip animation, I like the smooth screen transitions that were on the older Sense rosies.

I'm still contemplating whether I want this phone or return and exchange for a Sensation. Of course either way, it's Sense 3.0 carousel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] arcticwolf8:
KEEP IT. The Sensation is a piece of crap, I worked for T-Mobile and we have returns on them more than anything. They overheat, the touchscreen is highly unresponsive, and the screens look mediocre... Even after installing custom ROMs they still have issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
Yea, but there's so many devs for the Sensation, I wish our MT4GS had more...

Oh and btw, those devs just ported over the HTC Amaze 4G's (aka MT4GS's) camera to their Sensations. WOOW is all I can say.

Plus, with the second coming of smartphones in the HTC Amaze and SGSII, there'll be even less reason for future devs to work on this phone.

Gotta admit though that I like the hardware keyboard as an additional option for typing. It may be crappy compared to the G2, but I've never used a slider-phone before.

And, I hate the designs of the Amaze and GSII, they're even more curvy than the MT4GS and Sensation, lol.

Sorry...to get back on topic, Undeadk9, would it be much simpler to port the Sense 2.1 rosie over onto a Sense 3.0 rom? Rather than modding an entire rom? And is it as easy as I think it is?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I agree. Keep the phone. Plus this cpu is meant to clock at 1.5ghz. The sensations is right where its suppose to be. Plus this device has a way better processor. And the keyboard is a huge plus. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Romanbb:
In another phone, you can just trick Rosie into thinking it's running on a Sense 2.1 device and it will run in 2.1 mode. However, I don't think it's possible with the native MT4GS Rosie since it's specifically compiled for us/TMO. I could be wrong though, worth decompiling it and taking a look at it.

I wouldn't run Sense 2.1 though. That's boring.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Or maybe you could exchange it for a desire hd or mytouch 4g since you're looking for older software. there's not going to be a whole lot of demand for older software on a newer device unfortunately.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
That's exactly what I don't want, as you can see the MT4GS is SUPERIOR to those devices. But I really prefer the simplicity of the old sense, and combined with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, it would be 1000000x faster + no lag. Why would I want to go back to the "Stone Age" so to speak? :D

Really and truly it's the carousel that bothers me, if I didn't have to deal with the carousel on Sense 3, it would be just fine.

And let's just put it this way: Sense 2.1 is exactly what Sense 3.0 is WITHOUT the carousel. So for those of you who don't prefer the carousel, this is what you want. Of course there's the lockscreen, but I'm talking purely on the basis of the rosies.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
Sorry for the double post, my previous one was loaded.

I'll just say that Ima try and put one together myself.

I also posted a video on what I mean by Sense 2.1+3.0. (Check first post)

I also posted a poll to gather the opinion of users in this forum.

If there are too many No's, then I will stop this thread from further discussion.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
So you just want the sense 2.1 interface but with sense 3.0 basically. Why don't you try a new launcher?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
"Too lazy to s-off and sort it out..."

But you're willing to "...design a custom rom myself"?

O_o
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
All of this nonsense because you dislike the 3.0 carousel? Im sorry but you have lost your mind. And your to lazy to s off? Its a 5 min process Thats completely automated and pain free. But yet you want to design a rom which could take days maybe weeks? O_o All Im seeing is a huge lack of common sense.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
I hate Sense, period. I have ADW and it's a billion times better (except for the lack of widgets, but there are many options in the market)..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Correct me if I'm wrong... But doesn't Romanbb's Sense 3.0 Bulletproof rom have an option to alternate between 3 lockscreens? Sounds like what you're looking for to me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Anthonayy:
Sorry guys you're right, I do lack common sense. But... I just S'offed as we speak. Yeah, I think I'll be doing this myself.

@unclespoon I want the Sense widgets, especially the flip clock teehee.

@Undeadk9 I think this thread has become useless, just forget it about it then.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Just flash my sense on crack. You WILL enjoy it.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Fit [S-5670] running on 2.2 Froyo

I removed a few of my system apps like the stock music player using Titanium Backup a few days ago,but I am unable to remove any system apps using TB anymore.

Whenever I try to remove a system app using TB,my phone turns OFF.

And,when I switch it ON ,a picture of android robot along with an exclamation sign is seen!!! and the phone switches OFF again.

If I turn it ON again,it starts up smoothly without any problem and the app I tried to remove will still be there...

I tried many versions of TB

I tried removing many different system apps,but ended up with the same problem

any suggestions?

Do NOT remove apps the system depend on. Install "Root App Remover", it works great.
