Does stock ROMs run scripts from init.d folder automatically on startup?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
for froyo, yes.

gingerbread no.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Maryushi3:
I'm gonna flash Gingerbread so I will need to use script manager app to autostart them?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
script manager is not that useful, it cannot be use with some script that need to be run before the os even loaded eg a2sd script. use cfroot kernel instead.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Maryushi3:
So cf-root kernel will do it right? And I don't need like certain FW version (I'm gonna flash XWKPT)?

1)

Honeycomb has a Task switcher on the left side of the bar.

Is it possible to configure this task switcher, so it shows more active Tasks?

2)

I have 2 pdf reader apps installed: Aldiko and ezReader.

When I open a pdf file in ezReader and switch to the homescreen, I cannot see ezReader in the HC Task Switcher.

I have to open the pdf again, but it is faster this time, so the app is not closed.

2.1)

How can I switch from ezReader to home and back, without using a file manager in between?

2.2)

How can I switch from ezReader to Aldiko to see another pdf and then back to ez without using a file manager?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I.Chaos:
A drunken night resulted in a cracked Streak glass. Just the glass, not the screen. So the phone is completely usable. The crack is about 3 inches long and very slight. It is hardly discernible

Service center folks told me I gotta pay some money(about $90) and they will replace the phone. But, I don't want a new phone and I don't want to pay any money. My phone is in warranty.

I am in a dilemma: I can brick my phone or induce some software defect and give it to them so they will have to replace the phone for free. I am pretty sure they wont be able to figure put that I have done it intentionally. The technicians over here in India are pretty dumb*. But this is unethical. I don't know what to do.

Also, how long can I use the phone in this condition without any further damage?

I request the wisdom of the humble streak users around here.

*I know they are dumb because when I bought my streak, its accelerometer was not working; a hardware defect. When i took it to the service center, the technician did not even try fastboot. They did a factory reset from the Setting Menu, gave me the phone and told me that it is fixed. I was like, it still is not working you dumb ****. Then they replaced the handset.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (InsertNameHere):
Pay the $90 or just buy a screen on ebay and fit it yourself voiding the warranty.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Once you send it in, and they see the cracked screen, if they have any sense, they won't replace it and will declare it user abuse, send it back to you... at least that's what would happen on this side of the ocean... if you have ethical issues with doing that then do as InsertNameHere said and buy a new glass/lcd, because it will eventually start to bleed and moisture seep in through the crack
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streakOwner:
Pay someone from the guys there 10 dollars , and he will brick it for you, then after you get the get the Dell back, pay him another 10 so you will be safe for next time.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I.Chaos:
Guys, thanks for your inputs!

@cdzo72

They actually told me that they will give me a new phone if I pay the $90 (4500 rupees actually). And I did not know that the screen will start leaking and that moisture will seep in. So before they change their minds and before my screen takes further damage I have decided to get my phone replaced next month :D.

Thanks to all of you again!

May have been answered before but searching didn't bring anything up for me. Basically I want to clear the data backed up on my Google account regarding Android (WiFi, Market apps, Settings, etc) so I can start again.

Anyone know how to do it?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OK, managed to find somewhere that if you go into your Privacy settings and uncheck the backup option it says it'll delete everything. Is this correct?
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
Erm I think so eddy I used to untick it when first install and everythibk would be clear
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
For reference, the above doesn't work. Tried clearing the lot, wiped all data and reflashed my ROM and it still restored my apps, etc...quite annoying really. I mean, its good, but if you wanna start from a clean slate it would seem you can't!

That's OK mate! :D I'll find a way I'm sure

Bloody well hope not! I've emailed Google so we'll see what comes of it but surely if you delete an app it should NOT come back the next time!

On a related note, anyone know why some apps I install are NOT listed under 'My Apps'? I'm guessing it's linked to my account somehow but, again, it's annoying!
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
Erm depends if they where downloaded from Google it self or if sourced from some where else they won't show up I should know :):):)

If u have titanium backup go to

They're all from the Market, but I'll try the TI option, thanks :)

Haha yes yes I agree old market was fantastic

Yes i do try before I buy if I like the app then buy :):):):)

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps! :D

Yh I did it I was playing around and now I have like 20 updates but can't update them.as there ermmmm not from Google :):):):):)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsawoseyin:
I have this problem with both Galaxy S and S2. Every now and then I see a notification telling me "Your last call cost xxx" - claiming I made a call that cost me something, when I have made no calls at all. It happens often when I make a data connection or disconnection, and when all I do is turn on the screen from sleep. Has anyone had this problem? I experienced the problem with AT&T in the US as well as one of the operators in Nigeria (where I spend most of my time). But it seems it has nothing to do with the operator, or does it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Nope. If you have rooted phone, you can go to Market, bownload small app: Permissions Denied, and using it, look closely which app is able to use phone... it is likely that you have downloaded game or app with some trojan in it, especially if it was cracked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.

This one seems okay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163

But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jm1280:
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII.

Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
Yeah, it's called Minisuit. I ordered it via Amazon.

Luckily it's TPU and not a hard case so I can make that second opening.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] frankiedizzle87:
ny gs2 doesn't say Samsung or att on front.... only says galaxy S on back cover... is that supposed to be like that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
Ok, I got the case.

Doesn't fit 100%.

The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.

Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.

They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.

Kind of a weird way to make us word it.

Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caliesv:
Thanx for the review man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
Also forgot to note that the upper right hand side (the side with the power button) is unprotected. I think it was cause the International version had a lanyard hole.

And the case offers enough raise that if you place it on the back, the camera won't get scratched. Still a very thin profile, though. Makes it about as thick as my Captivate, which is good since the phone kept slipping out of my hand before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caliesv:
Yeah, I've noticed a lot of the cases "for our phone" has the corner missing lol. Mine should be here any day now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
Cool, let me know how it goes. I really like the look and feel of this case a lot. But the covered mic hole, kind of flimsy kick stand, and unprotected corner could all use improvements. The fit is actually not bad at all, but it's not the BEST fit you'll ever find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caliesv:
This case is OK.. not bad for the cheap price. Kickstand is super flimsy. Top corner not protected. But other then that, pretty good protection. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ozone777:
Got this one a few days ago and was surprised at the quality of construction.

It fits the phone very well and is not overly bulky. Looks very nice on the phone as well.

Had to cut out a hole for the top mic but was not too difficult with Dremel equipped with a 1/8" drill bit. The hole came out very good and looks like it was there all along.

Kick-stand works well but can only stand landscape and not portrait like the Case-Mate case. But at less than a third of the Case-Mate price, that is not a problem for me.

As stated in another post, the area around the camera is raised and provides good protection from scratching...I'm not afraid to lay it on it's back now.

Similarly, the front is protected so you can lay the phone down on it's face with little worry about scratching.

Buttons function well behind their plastic covers.

Overall, the case looks and feels very nice, functions and protects very well, and, in my opinion, exceeds expectations given the low price.

On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 4 due to the lack of a pre-drilled top mic hole.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
i bought this case off amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Plusface-Piec...ME/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1318837763&sr=8-19

its pretty nice. not the biggest fan of how the cut outs are, my cappy had the boddy glove and thats what i would really like to have.

but its got a nice solid feel, and keeps the camera off the counter (why i bought it)

the bottom slides a little and a small plastic piece is able to come out, think of something similar to a paper clip. while cheap and flimsy it does the job. i like it and all but quality could be better.

also it is made for the international version, so it does have the key chain cut out and covers the 2nd mic but nobody has complained to me about noise issues at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
I would have considered that had I see it first since that kickstand offers more versatility. But as previously stated, this case really did exceed expectations, and I am fine with it.

I have the casemate pop. I bought it for the kickstand. It is pretty sleek and I like the rubber bumpers on the side. However, the kickstand seems way flimsy. I can easily bend it. I'm afraid that it'll break. I think I'll give the smoked case a try. Thanks for the post.

Yesterday I tried to install CyanogenMod7 on my phone, which failed miserably, and since I have been reading and trying all sorts of things, without success.

At the time it had CF-Root installed, and a ROM manager installed from Market.

I tried installing CM7 through the user interface, the phone rebooted, and then it hung at the Samsung logo screen, and has never gotten past that point again.

I have booted into Android Recovery System (3e) to attempt to install CM7 from there, but i cannot see my SD card in the ARS(3e). It claims to be showing the SD cars, and that it is in the /sdcard folder, but the contents of the folder are those of the internal storage.

So basically I am stuck at the boot logo, I can access Download Mode and Recovery Mode, but that's it.

Oh, and the SD card is 2 weeks old, and has been working perfectly.

Does anyone here have any advise on how I could get my phone up and running again?
