[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deenybird:
Disclaimer: New to Android, just got ATT Galaxy SII

When I click on an MP3 file, in Reader, for example, it asks me to launch in either Music or Sound player. Both of those programs stop playing audio when I try to do something else on my phone.

The 'Listen' app for podcasts can continue to play in the background, why won't it let me play the file through there?

-----------------------

I read through this thread but there was no definitive answer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0blivion91:
Hi. When you select an audio file from something like a file explorer, The media apps play that song as more of a preview.

If you want to keep them playing in the background (assuming music) try playing they by finding them in the music player itself. the audio should still play as long as you use the home button to navigate out of that app. (Back button ~ close)

Hope that helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deenybird:
Thanks for assistance. But this MP3 file isn't stored on my device. It's a podcast hosted elsewhere.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0blivion91:
Ahh. Sorry about that, I need to stop skimming when I read. I'm not very familiar with pod casts so unfortunately i can't help you further =[ Not sure why its not working for streamed files. Internet radio programs such as TuneIn radio work fine in the background for me.

Good luck and hopefully someone else can help :D

Okay, I have had my nook for about a month and I rooted it. Now when I go in to do anything I always get these erro messages. I can't get on the internet and yes, my wi-fi is working. It won't let me download anything from the market. No matter what I do; it always put up a error messages and forces close.

Could anyone please help? :(

hi all

i got my x10 mini from a friend. he said that when he bought it, it was sim locked. so he unlocked the phone.

if i unlock the bootloader it will restore the original sim lock of the phone?

if yes, there is any free way of sim unlocking x10 mini?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danlivesey:
It depends on how he unlocked the phone,

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saulbrother:
the tutorials say that if the output from S1tool is

"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked

"NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader cannot be unlocked

i have "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" and i know i can unlock my bootloader

but my question is:

after unlock it, will still restore the original sim lock?

Or for other word:

does the S1tool output refers to the possibility of unlocking the bootloader, or refers to the restore of the original?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rodrigocp:
i don't know if i can really help cause i not really a expert, but i think what they say with

"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked

is if you have the semc simlock it will still be sim unlocked.

not really sure about it.

mine was SEMC SIMLOCK and after the bootloader was unloloked, the sim unlock was still working fine.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saulbrother:
was your phone original unlocked?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rodrigocp:
yes it was, havent really tought about it.

really dont know if its the same thing
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thotypous:
Well, I never used a locked phone, but the linked post says:

What I understand from the text is that if he unlocked the phone using anything different from setool2, it will disable the radio, but that it can be restored afterwards by using setool2.

Edit: not sure however why "do not run anything" would be in bold if it could be reverted afterwards
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Because the simunlock to restore radio with setool does cost money
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saulbrother:
i think my phone was not unlocked by setool because i have the "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" output in S1tool

According to the unlocking bootloader guide post (here):

5. If you had

1: the SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE message or if you

2: unlocked your phone using EMMA/IMEI code

3: or if your phone was already unlocked when you bought it (first-hand phone)

4: or if your phone is sim-locked, or if...

THEN

run msm7227_semc.cmd in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process

So i know i can unlock my bootloader

My question is if i will loose the sim network unlock and the phone will revert to sim locked?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saulbrother:
no one knows?

i guess i will try it anyway :)
[GT540 Optimus General] Facuu:
hey, my problem is this one

i had stock android 1.6 and i put the 2.3.3 cyanogenmod android through fastboot

i lost boot animations, so when i turn on my phone it just vibrates a little and then i wait for it till it finally shows a black screen with light, then i touch the power button, so turn off the light, and then again, and i can use the phone.

but when i enter on recovery mode, it's the same, it just vibrates a little like before, but now it's just stucked, with no light, and nothing, it's off

the same thing happen with fastboot, but it works, i mean, i enter into fastboot and apparently nothing happens , no light, no nothing, but it works because it sends and write data

then i changed to cyanogenmod 2.3.5 and today through 2.3.7

that's why i know it works, but through fastboot, so i lost everything and it's kinda annoying

so i wanted to know if theres a way to fix this boot animations and the recovery thing, it doesnt show a light, nothing ..

and themes and updates are easier through recovery so i would like to have this thing working

apart from that, the phone works great

hope you can help me!

thanks in advance!

if i do all that, then i'd like to put again the 2.3.7 cyanogenmod

i have to do it through fastboot or through recovery?

and doing that i will see boot animations and recovery?
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
You will need to re-flash 2.3.7 again after doing this. Flash recovery and then flash 2.3.7 using that (or use fastboot if you wish). Make sure to backup all your data using Titanium Backup or MyBackup or something.
[GT540 Optimus General] Facuu:
i dont understand, what do you mean by, "re flash 2.3.7", and flash recovery?

i dont understand flash recovery, and i have read that a lot of times..

i mean after doing the tutorial it just has an european room or something like that

after that i put 2.3.7 through fastboot

and then flash recovery? what is that? 2.3.7 doesn't come with recovery ? so i can use it without doing any of this?

sorry for the questions XD
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
Yeah, recovery isn't needed in this case.

Hi all.

I'm sorry first of all on creating a new thread as I'm not allowed to add to dev posts.

I have created Custom MTD Partitions of : 140, 5

using CyanogenMod 7 Nightly: 220

(New Market)

I have tried to download a game third blade and i get an error of insufficient space

like ''Hanakie'' in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233340

I have downgraded the market now to an old one and now able to download this game.

I am going to try tonight to upgrade the market from old to new but not a fresh install of a rom and see if if Im still able to. I will post my findings when done.

ps I would like to thank all the Developers here for for making my phone awesome and interesting til my next upgrade and then will have 2 phones to tinker with.

[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
You were able to fit the latest CM Nightly on a 110MB /system partition? Did you go for a barebones build? AFAIK, the standard CM will not fit on a 110MB system partition. (Unless of course, it is stripped)
[Wildfire General] boroboy69r:
its not bearbone as such ujst took out all ringtones, all but on each alarm tone and notification tone and removed some of the not needed apps from the rom like email, music player (got power amp), cm wallpapers, live wallpapers u get the picture :)
[Wildfire General] apollopayne:
hi 3xeno (thank you for your hard work)

I'm not using any Apps2SD any more as wanted all my stuff on internal memory.

i did a

1. wipe/factory reset

2. MTD Partitions Guide but instead of restoring from backup i did a fresh flash of

cm7 nightly 220

3. Then flashed gapps-gb-20110828 for Market

Did u flashed bravo boot after all these steps?

Is anyone except me able to run 5mb cache without market and recovery errors?

Hello,

I have a few questions about that rom, as I feel a bit lost.

First of all, if it says "3G" in title, that means it's for 3g+Wifi version, right?

If so, then which file should I flash to my device? Stock rom, and then? It says "Deodexed or BroodComb ROM" I can't see link to that BroodComb ROM zip. But maybe it have just some other name.

And finally, is it worth it? Will I get noticeable performance improvement or something?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentecho13:
I downloaded the leaked google music app from ICS, and it works great.

My only caveat is that when I choose to make something available offline, it goes straight to my internal storage (Motorola Atrix).

I have a 32gb microSD card with a dedicated folder for music. Is there a way I can get the offline songs onto there?

I currently use PlayerPro from the market, and I wanted to use the Google cloud for "wirelessly syncing" my music.

Any ideas?

Does any other music player sync with google?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhatUgly:
Wouldn't it be possible to somehow mount a folder that is located on the sd-card and link it to /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.music/cache just like it is done with the apps2ext hacks on low memory devices?

Would the file system of the sd-card then have to be ext instead of fat32?

Maybe someone who has more practical knowledge of the matter could look into this. I can only theoretically assume how it might work :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhatUgly:
I did some further research and found this post.

It describes how to mount an external sdcard to to /sdcard instead of sdcard. But would this also work with a subfolder of /sdcard?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhatUgly:
I fiddled around myself a bit.

So here is what I did:

format sdcard as ext2

manually mount sdcard since it won't automatically when ext:

mkdir /Removable/MicroSD
mount -r -w -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /Removable/MicroSD
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData

Then move all data from /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache to /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData/cache

I did this with root explorer since I'm not too much of a terminal h4xx0r.

Delete the folder /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/

Link the new Folder on external MicroSD Card to the original location via this terminal command:

ln -s /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData /data/media/Android/data/com.google.android.music

Since /sdcard is already a link like the one we are setting up here, it is not possible to link to this linked location (/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music).

Instead we have to link to the origninal destination of /sdcard which is /data/media.

Now the microSD card is accessible for root explorer. It shows read and write access.

But google music won't find it. It says that it doesn't have enough space to stream music so I figure that it somehow doesn't have access to the sd card.

What could be the issue here?

Also instead of 28GB free memory root explorer shows me only 364,44MB free memory. the command "df" in terminal however confirms 28GB of free memory.

Help please?

EDIT:

I thought that a reboot might do it. But it doesn't. Instead it gets rid of all the hacking I've done in terminal. So I guess I would have to place a script in /etc/init.d for the link to be set everytime I reboot, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craPkit:
Hey FuzzyMeep Two! Thanks for the great tutorial.

It worked, with some minor adaptions:

1.) The script should read "mount -o ...". Note that there's no space between '-' and 'o'. You got that right in the first script though :)

2.) On GalaxyS2 with JellyBean/4.1.1 the correct paths are storage/sdcard1 (external) and storage/sdcard0 (internal).

Purchased this on 10/02 from androidstation on ebay for $2.95 with free shipping. It comes from Hong Kong and received it in the mail today. It fits like a glove and has all the correct cutouts, including the secondary mic, and no Korean corner cutouts for the antenna. It was made specifically for the ATT i777. It also has the lip so you can put it face down without the glass on anything and the camera is protected as well. The buttons are not hard to push and there is enough clearance in the cutouts so any adapters and headphones can fit. The cutout for the extra mic is it's own hole and not just an extra large cutout. Sorry for the crappy pix. Best $2.95 spent for the phone so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] speedking261:
what is the "feel" of this case? It looks like it has some hard plastic mixed in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nitemask:
The hard plastic is actually more of a smooth rubber texture. The sides have more of a harder plastic feel even though they are a rubbery texture as well. The sides have tiny dimples along the side which enhances the grip and also makes finding the volume and power buttons easy since those are smooth. SO in the dark, just feel for the smooth spots on the side and you have your buttons.

Yes, you flash the CWM 4.0.14 version via fastboot. TO get out of fastboot you don't have to reset with the pinhole, you just type in fastboot reboot, and immediately press the Volume+ button on the S7 and you will boot into CWM, pretty simple
