[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Because Android decided that app needed to be closed in order to reclaim memory for other purposes. If you're unhappy with the way Android manages your RAM, there are various options available to tweak it. Adjusting the amount of RAM the system keeps free will allow for better multi-tasking.

I'm on JVT and it feels like better than JVS to me.

Slight differences:

You'll have overscroll effect as default

My battery seems to last a LOT longer (at least for me on stock rom)
[Epic 4G General] jworkcoo:
Is there a way some could extract the lockscreen from QQ Launcher or recommend a lockscreen that is very similar to it? I tried to get some off the market but those never override the system lockscreens. I was hoping for a apk or even a zip for one.
[Epic 4G General] lancelane:
I dont know what that lock screen is but i use menu lock which gives you 8 buttons. You pull the button over to open an app that you have assigned. I also use No Lock which is an app that keeps your phone from using its lock. Together it makes it to where the only lock i see is menu lock.

It is the best app i have of the over 100 i now have and the well over 500 i have tried.

Good luck.

Sent from my Epic on Midnight or my Galaxy Tab rooted (feels naked without a ROM)
[Epic 4G General] jworkcoo:
Thanks for replying.... I forgot all about No Lock. I think I know how to get the lockscreen that I want.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Yup NoLock is great I use it to text at school and don't want an unlock screen lol

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] jworkcoo:
Well I think I spoke to soon. I can't disable the system's lockscreen. Even with No Lock enabled. I downloaded the QQ Launcher just for the lockscreen so that I could use it with Go Launcher. It works sometimes, but Im still getting my old system lockscreen. Its gotta be a way to disable the system lockscreen.

Hi,

support for other languages planed in the future?

with friendly greet

starbase64
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Well, it is still in development, so I am unaware of multi language support yet, but i sent a message to the developer and let's see what he says. I will keep the post updated as soon as new features are released :)

EDIT:

Yes I confirmed from the developer and here is the message:

"Yes, we're planning multiple languages for the Assistant.

If you have more questions, you're always welcome to ask us on our forum http://we.speaktoit.com/ or via email speaktous@speaktoit.com

Speaktoit Assistant not working on Epic 4g

So I got the Speaktoit Assistant app from the market and I love it. The only problem that I have is that I can't hear when the assistant talks back. So doing some research, I found out that I needed to download a synthesizer or something. I downloaded it and when I try to open it, it just force closes. Could somebody help me with this? Im probably late finding out about this, but is the Epic unable to do talk to speech?
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Hey There! Don't worry I had such a problem. First uninstall the assistant, install SVOX Classic, choose a specific Voice, then install the assistant again. Keep me updated if it still doesn't resolve the problem :)
[Android Apps and Games] TheCraig:
Very good app, but what would be Great is if you could put some jokes in there, It would entertain me while driving :P, I love this application, Has potential.

When I say send a text message to *name* it just inputs the name as the message content lol.

Haven't figured it out yet, I'd like to know as well.
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Hello there! There are 2 options:

1. Say send text, give a message and manually choosing the sender's name/number.

2.Say Send text to 'name', He/She'll ask what message to send, then speak the message and send the text.

Example:

Say "Send text to Billy" ...

"No problem. What would you like the message to say?"

"Hey What's up?"

Then click send :)
[Android Apps and Games] hazard99:
this is a great application I hope it can get support. even if they charged a bit for the actual app it would be worth it.
[Android Apps and Games] haq.abdul:
Pretty cool App, I look forward to contributing to test the App.

Good job guys.
[Android Apps and Games] barqers:
Awesome! Didn't know that.

Unfortunately I just found that my phone went from 70% to 35% in about 45 minutes. This was right after installing this app.

Before I go and blame the app completely, can someone tell me if there's a setting or something I left checked that's either causing wakelocks or battery drainage in the background?
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Well, i noticed that this app used slightly more battery life for my phone, the LG G2x with Eagles Blood ROM installed but make sure to always close the app by either saying:

1. Exit

OR

2. Close App

That will cause the assistant to turn off! Hope this helps.

BTW you could try the Battery Calibration App. This App drastically increased my battery life. I played a full 3D game for an hour and I only lost 20% battery. SO here's the link if you are interested:

[Android Apps and Games] do0b:
i've just downloaded this app but there isnt a mic button. why?
[Android Apps and Games] AllAboutAndroids:
Does your App look like the following:

If it does, there is the mic button on the bottom right corner and on the left corner there is the text version.

When you want to talk, simply tap the mic button once and after the request is done, the mic button will automatically open so that it is like a conversation.

If you still cannot find the mic button, download Google Voice Search. That app is needed for Assistant to work:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch&hl=en

Hope this helps!
[Android Apps and Games] theo80:
The app looks to be very promising. Would want to have headset control though (pressing call button in headset would start the conversation, if no phone call is ongoing)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hanson68:
I discovered that MX Player will stream H.264 encoded files with AC3 audio from Windows shares I can browse to with ES File Explorer (it will stream most other video files as well).

The only thing is, the device doesn't recognize mkv as a file extension for video, so it won't even let me choose a program to open the file. If I simply rename the extension to mp4, it will stream on MX Player smoothly, without any issues with frame skips or audio. Even with the mp4 extension, the stock video player will not play them. If I copy the files to the device, the stock player plays them without a problem.

On my OG Galaxy Tab, mkv files are considered video. Stock player will not stream them, but MX Plyer will. However, it's so slow and skippy that they're unwatchable.

Is there a way to associate mkv files with video? I don't really want to have to rename the file extension every time I want to watch the video.

ETA: Okay, I figured it out. If you long press on the file in ES File Explorer, you can Open As video. It will not play HDTV .ts files smoothly, however.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgymnop:
It's weird. I have an Atrix and a new GSII. At home my Atrix shows HSPA and my GSII shows HSDPA. Isn't HSPA "4G" and HSDPA 3G?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
That's what I thought too, and I'm also showing HSDPA... hmmm... but the upload speeds are HSPA+ so it can't be right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I thought both 3G and "4"G could be called HSPA. High Speed Packet Access.

Doesn't the D stand for download. I thought HSUPA (U for upload) was the feature that got all the publicity with the Atrix, as it wasn't activated at launch.

I am sitting on H+ according to my status but in about it says UMTS, which I thought was 3G. My HTC 8525 ran on UMTS 4 years ago.

Sent from my SGS II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgymnop:
I think in the about settings HSPA means HSPA+ while HSDPA means the slower standard. I think it is probably a bug. My Atrix could distinguish between HSPA and HSDPA in the about settings. In areas without 4G it would read UMTS or HSDPA while in advanced backhaul areas it would read HSPA. On The GSII it seems to be messed up. I never saw HSPA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Mine is acting the same way my Infuse was. It never seems accurate. Obviously if you pass the 0.33mbps range your HSUPA is enabled. That's about all we really know for sure, hehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Phone status display frequently is broken in the framework and not reporting correctly.

For example, the Infuse would report UMTS when in an HSPA+ mode...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I'd imagine the marketing\disguising one technology as another and not being forthcoming about where has "enhanced backhaul" nor defining what "enhanced backhaul" even is in terms of speed, likely doesn't help things either ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cliffgardner:
hspa and hsdpa are both 3.5G at best
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Dial *#0011# on your phone. The screen will show what exactly is your phone using. So far, I have yet seen 'HSPA+ used' display anything other than 0.

[General Topics] PoisonWolf:
Just 4 more days!

I get the feeling that it -might- be sold through Google as an unlocked phone with T-Mobile bands support.

I'm uncertain if T-Mobile would actually sell it through their channels though as this would cannibalize the Amaze and GS2. In that sense, it doesn't make sense that they would release it about a week and a half after.

This are my thoughts.
[General Topics] ryan562:
That is likely to be the case. Same deal with my Nexus S as it was sold only via Best Buy upon initial release.
[General Topics] tigerz0202:
thats the way its gonna be . my wife works for Tmobile and they arent selling the phone in the store. that was main reason i chose the SGS2 over it . id rather deal with tmobile for warranty issues than google. ill just wait till next year when the 1080p hidef screen comes out till i get another phone. ive already had three new phones this year ,tired of trying to keep up for a while....not to mention youll probably have ice cream sandwich on this phone before you can purchase a nexus(maybe)
[General Topics] PoisonWolf:
Knowing American carriers and with the whole first wave of Galaxy S phones.....it's unlikely that Ice Cream Sandwich will come out until maybe next year August. Till then, you'd probably get leaks, that will have its own fair share of problems.

So there are definitely pros and cons of going either routes. I agree with you though, with T-Mobile, loyal customers have a good chance of getting the GS2 for free. It all depends on luck, your ability to talk, and the rep that you're getting. ;) On the other hand, the Nexus route will land you a nice 720p screen that won't necessarily be bigger than the GS2 (due to the screen being narrower and longer [i.e., 9:16 ratio] and not having capacitive buttons) but at a cost of $499 or $599?

If the Nexus doesn't have a microSD card slot though....I'll likely just get the GS2 (going to shoot for 2 of them for free on a 2-year contract). The SD card is a deal-breaker for me as I love my cards. Lawl.
[General Topics] scottspa74:
Wait wait. I thought the nexus prime was shipping with ICS. Isn't that what google does with their nexus line? Ship them to showcase their newest OS version, then the rest of us wait for devs to bring it home?
[General Topics] tigerz0202:
wow no sd slot i didnt realize that,that would have sucked too since i just bought a class 10 16 gig PNY card. if there was ever any want for that phone it just left my body .....4 more days till i get my S2 cant wait
[General Topics] PoisonWolf:
If I'm not mistaken, you want a class with better random access speed....higher class micro SD card comes at the cost of random access speed. It's good for large file transfers, but when accessing many minute files....the speed takes a large hit. Just some of the things I've read on XDA.
[General Topics] tigerz0202:
i bought it for hi def 1080p video playback when i had my sensation. although the class 2 i had played fine it was choppy at times ,the higher class removed that for me and things like the gallery loaded faster etc.etc. but if thats correct the i would have been pissed if i bought the nexus and didnt know that

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

also if those specs are true then im pretty sold on the idea that this phone is nothing more than a test dummy for this new screen, ill definately wait till next year and be happy with my S2 now before i think of buying another phone ,every high end phone has a dual core processor and in time we will get the update to ice cream sandwich one way or the other
[General Topics] tq745:
i wonder when ics gets ported to the gs2 if the cap buttons will be functional or useless?

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

the title is very misleading...its not 100% sure we are getting this device for tmobile. although i'm crossing my fingers that we do.
[General Topics] ryan562:
My Nexus S had an internal sd card failure and called T-Mobile for warranty service. They told me if it was purchased elsewhere they only offer partial warranty meaning that a defect must only effect the ability to make phone calls, send texts, or surf the web. They said I should call Samsung to service it

Samsung offers a one year OEM warranty upon registering any of their mobile devices online so I went that route. A T-Mobile rep did tell me that if I were to get the Prime at Best Buy, to just cancel the Premium Handset Protection Plan with T-Mobile and get the warrany that Best Buy carries instead. I will probably goes this route instead when the Prime is released.

Great post XperienceD.

Might be worth adding a note that, if you dont want to unlock your bootloader, then by far the easiest method of rooting is to update to the .42 version (either via OTA, SEUS, or fastboot makes no difference) and then use fastboot's one click rooting (zergrush). No messing about with ADB or scripts, takes about 5 minutes, and is about as n00b friendly as its possible to get. :D
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Hi.

Have you read the OP? ;):p:)
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Um, yeah.

Just wanted to highlight that flashtool will now root (using zergrush) for you, no need to download doomlord's (admittedly excellent) zipfile. Didnt see that mentioned anywhere, maybe i missed it.
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Oh the flashtool you mean, will add it shortly.

but my battery stat show 0%.

do you know how to fix it? this issue happen 4 weeks ago.

after i got this issue, i search everywhere in google (inc this forum) to try fix it. but i have nothing. so, i try to bring it to gallery/service center of SE in my country about 2 weeks ago. but SE cancel my arc, because his give up to fix my arc back normally.

@XperienceD,

In addition to the Service Menu [ *#*#SERVICE#*#* or *#*#7378423#*#* ], I recently found a Testing Menu with Phone information, Battery information, Usage statistics & Wifi information.

[ *#*#INFO#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* ]

I was going through my phone and realised that there's no way to enter the SMS Service Centre number. I needed to google it. And this is the only place where we can enter it manually. This seems to be common to all Android devices.
