[Galaxy S II Accessories] zeitgeb3r:
I've tried all sorts of car mounts (including the official Samsung Galaxy S II car dock), but nothing worked for my requirements, except for Exomount.

Here's my requirements: I want to be able to video-record my driving on the background (as evidence in court in case of an accident), and have Navigon running concurrently on the foregound.

Most car mounts would block the video lense, and would interfere with the volume rocker of the S II.

However, Exomount would stick anywhere (not just the windshield)...including the car dashboard, thus allowing you to adjust it so that it wouldn't block the camera lense or interfere with the side buttons.

If you want the cheap and nasty mounts on ebay that don't work as promised, you get what you pay for.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] speiss:
First ones quality is very bad and cheap. Sides are way big and ugly for this phone. Legs are not fixed and WILL break off very soon.

Second one does not fit if you buy samsung original 2000mAh extended battery. Actually I have been looking for nice car mount for extended battery and have found only one that may suit: hxxp://w w w.ebay.co.uk/itm/180724628107?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
Dammnit, this is why I STILL don't own a vent mounted phone holder for the SGS2.

I mean, where on earth I do find a good quality one that rotates, is vent mounted, doesn't block the power button, takes a case, and won't fall apart?? You'd think someone would have made one by now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AmdPhenomII:
I might consider this one instead...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400235299...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_2590wt_1163
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
That's exactly the one I was just going to ask about. Do you think it would take the phone with my case on?

http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/1399/back4d.jpg

http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/9586/front5j.jpg

If so, I think that could be the one to get, and I need a charger too, so that would be handy.

edit: I've just messaged the seller to ask if he knows if it'll fit with the case on.

My only concern is how stable the mount is. Check these two out. I think the first one is the same as the ebay link ?

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-car-vent-holder-p31451.htm

But does this second one share the same mount system, I can't tell.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/universal-phone-vent-holder-p27265.htm

If so, I'm a bit concerned about one review:

"Great holder easy to fit to the vent in my van, very adjustable to get the phone in exactly the right position, even holds my iphone secure with the added thickness of an ijuice battery case fitted. Unfortunately the glue that holds the metal fixing bar into the plastic of the phone holder can't be strong enough and with the extremes of heat in a vehicle left in the sun, the bar releases from the glue and holder and falls off ! thankfully my phone wasn't attached at the time. The holder is so versatile that I didn't want to get rid, and with the use of a small black cable tie, is secure and tightly fitted back to my vent ( only a solution if you don't mind your holder permanently attached ) i rate the holder , shame about the fixing to the vent."
[Galaxy S II Accessories] uppon2:

I have used this in vents, steering wheel, Dash - This thing is so flexible and strong with the best grip and is just plain versatile. Best thing I have purchased for my device - You can find it for a reasonable price on Amazon UK and Ebay.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
There's no way I'd have something I'd have to spend several minutes bending and ensuring all the legs are securing the phone every time I get in the car tbh. Nice concept though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] uppon2:
It stays in the same position. You just slot the phone in to whatever shape you have prepared (Once) It is exactly the same as any other mount but has the ability to change shapes and fit in more obscure positions.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
Awesome, I found 2 vent mounts which look pretty decent. I'm going to definitely buy one of these. I've messaged them to ask if the first one will work with my case instead of theirs. If it doesn't, then the second one with the extendable side clasps will be fine.

http://www.ultimate-mobiles.co.uk/m...g-galaxy-s2/car-kits/air-vent-mount___645.htm
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
As uppon said, once it's in the vent, it stays in position and you don't have to rebend the legs to hold the phone. They're springy enough that you can just "clip" the phone into the prebent legs and it'll hold it perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
Ah, I see. I didn't realise they're springy. I was thinking you'd have to bend out the prongs each time to get the phone in and then press them down in place again. But what if you want to quickly rotate the phone between portrait and landscape?

Anyway, I just ordered and paid for this, so I'm looking forward to it now :) : http://www.ultimate-mobiles.co.uk/m...g-galaxy-s2/car-kits/air-vent-mount___645.htm

Here's pics of just the holder part, looks pretty nice I think, not cheap and tacky like most holders http://www.ultimate-mobiles.co.uk/device-holders/mobile-phones/universal-mobIle-holder___776.htm

[Legend General] scx110a:
Maybe you have to flash your system again......you may deleted some system files cause this problem......You can wipe data first, it may help. If it didn't work, then you have to flash system.......
[Legend General] chejaber:
how can i do that please help my phone is become so bad and slow i dont really why ??
[Legend General] scx110a:
Errr. First of all ,use pc sync software to backup your data ,then reboot to recovery ,choose "wipe data/factory reset "and then reboot ,the system may ok. If not ,you may need to flash your Rom again......
[Legend General] chejaber:
i try to put it to the recovery mood but after i select recovery its show me a picture for phone with red triangular and nothing work €??? what should i do
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Press volume up + power, then choose apply update:update.zip
[Legend General] scx110a:
Press Volume Up and Power，or connect computer and use "recovery-windows.bat" in "r3-legend-root.zip"(r4 is also OK). Then you can try "wipe data". If it did not work, download a rom and flash it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raif89:
hey all i have a general question,

i just rooted and installed villianrom 3.0 and noticed that call quality and internet speed is way worse than it was before, i was wondering if this had to do with the modem?

im currently running

Rom - villianrom 3.0

Kernel - nimphetamine 2.0.5

Radio- JJKF3

the phone signal is now always yellow, where before it was solid green, and as far as i have been able to find out, thats what might be causing me to have poor call quality/internet, as well as battery life

do i need to change the baseband to something else because the firmware is different (kg1 -> ki3)? i was originally on a kg1 kernal. if so, can anyone recommend me a good modem to use for israel?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SixHouse:
Long story short, I'm writing an app that needs to edit a value in the database:

/data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

I know this can be done, I just can't figure out how to do it, even after many days of searching, posting, reading bad information and trying code samples from people who obviously never tested what they posted because none of them have worked. The one common thread is that everything I read suggests this will only work on a rooted phone where su permissions can be obtained. That's fine, and I have been told I need to do this first:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");

Ok so now what? How do I use that "p" object to open and edit the database? For simplicity, I don't want to use any "helper classes" for database access. I just want to do something like this:

myDB = this.openOrCreateDatabase("/data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db", MODE_PRIVATE, null);
myDB.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test_table (test_column VARCHAR);");
myDB.execSQL("INSERT INTO test_table (test_column) VALUES ('test_value');");

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gene Poole:
Unfortunately, 'su' only grants permissions for shell scripts and command-line executables, NOT to the application calling 'su'.

I wrote an app a long time ago that added "unknown sources" by a similar method. Believe me, I spent a long time on this problem and ended up just writing a ARM executable to do the work and called it in a shell with 'su -c ...'.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SixHouse:
Thanks. Tell me, with apps like sqlite editor that can open and edit any db on the device, how are they doing it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gene Poole:
I'm not familiar with it, but if I had to guess, I'd bet it uses the sqlite3 command line utility to do the actual database work and fires it off with su.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SixHouse:
That could be. Do you know where I can find that command line utility?

[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffy2walgreens:
I got the Commuter over the Active because the ports are covered which is a plus to me. Also, Otterbox has a lifetime warranty as opposed to Seidio's 30 day. I'm not sure if its different know, but when I had the Evo, that was their warranty policy. And the soft touch finish of the active will chip off over time and look bad (at least it did when I had an Evo). To me, the only advantage that the Active has over the Commuter is color options.

And sorry but I can't take pics right now.

Ive read few threads that were not specific to the sgs4g and I was curious as to what works most for people.Im a flashaholic so I'm changing roms quite frequently and wanted to know what works for most people.Ive heard let the phone charge to %100,use Battery Calibration from the market...but then it gets different.Ive heard let the phone fully die,then charge back to 100% without disruption.....do this once,do it two or three times....... so what works for you guys?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you let the battery charge to 100% (which is as close to 4200 mV as possible). i would recommend unplugging the phone and instantly plugging it back in to charge some more until it is 100 again. then, hit calibrate in the battery calibration app. unplug the phone and let it die completely. then charge it until it is full with no break. then unplug it and let it die. and charge it again and you should be good to go. use it normally. thats what i do and it works fine, but to each his/her own.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
I just go into cwm and wipe battery stats.

Then on full cycle of charge drain charge. Never had any issues and get great battery life

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Its the same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vlad_z:
It's same thing and wiping that file does nothing towards fuel gauge chip calibration (hardware chip where android reads soc - state of charge). This file is just serialazed class with usage/logs kind of information from which android derives stats.
