[General Questions and Answers] lunchboxVA:
hello,

I have a SAMSUNG EPIC 4G TOUCH, it is rooted with zedomax v3, which includes CWM, and is running gingerbread 2.3.4

I read last night that you can get rid of the camera shutter sound by deleting "camera_click.ogg" and all related files so i deleted the file i just mentioned and "camera_click_short.ogg." At first my phone wouldnt let me delete the files because they were read only...using root explorer I changed the permissions and deleted the files...when I rebooted my phone my phone got stuck in bootloop...

my questions are 1) how do I resolve this and 2) I found the files i deleted online and downloaded them...how do I put them on my phone when it is stuck in bootloop?

thank you and all fast replies are appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] chrisrotolo:
this really should not have caused a bootloop, any nandroid backups to restore to?

also try fixing permissions if possible from recovery.

my best guess, is try to mount device from recovery and push .ogg file via ADB ?
[General Questions and Answers] lunchboxVA:
adb from bootloop?

how do you run adb from bootloop...i used adb once before but i did it through adb wireless connection back when my phone wasnt looping...how does one push a file through using recovery?...i also tried booting into cwm and installing the .zip for those files i mentioned using the install from sd card option but cwm couldnt find the files

i can boot into odin...this problem started when i was running zedomax v3...i thought going to back to the stock kernal would help...but unfortunatly it didnt...so then i installed zedomax v3 so i can have cwm...

does this sound like a bricked device to you are is there another more accurate term i should be using to widen my search peramaters for answers...

and if deleting those files wouldnt cause bootloop do you know what might??

also no backups to restore to...and how do i change permissions?

I have a few games for my son, and usually it is all right, he's jumping with donkeys and playing with sheep, but sometimes, i'm affraid, that he would't touch anything that doesn't belong to game, as once the phone is rooted he could make some damage.

So, is there any apps that could help me protect the phone and apps, access to internet, and such with a password or so, just leaving a few games he could run and play, and everything else would be impossible for him to try?

I thought it was the stock charger too so I bought a generic charger from walmart that was labeled to work for Galaxy S phones. And it does work to charge, but the screen still isn't responding correctly.

I was wondering if there were a way that when I plug my headphones in that it wont automatically change the volume down.

Also is there a way that when my phone starts ringing that it wont start low and then get louder? Like the first ring will be lower than what follows. I just want it all the same. THANKS!

I know in settings under sound or calls you can adjust the progressive ring feature. As far as head phones go it is a built-in safety precaution.
[Blade General] l2azoredge:
the battery lasts just like 20 hours with 2 hrs of wifi 1 hr callin 1 hr messaging 1 hr fiddling ... used the app betterbatterystats and it reveals that

process checkin handoff and event log handoff are not letting the fone go to deep sleep...

need to charge the battery every morning for 2hrs..... any help here on how to optimise these apps or freeze them or uninstalled them??
[Blade General] Damyanof:
It happens to me too, whatever i do i just cant get the phone to work on battery power more than a day. I think you should write to the developer. Since i have my blade second hand, although it was a month old, i assume that the battery wasnt taken care of at the beginning. I have this issue with all the roms i had installed :(
[Blade General] dirlan2001:
Might be some app that you've moved to SD that causes the deep-sleep-block.... Anyhow, most of the battery-drain is IMHO caused by the RIL continiously pinging the provider....

This issue was giving me the ****s and finally I solved it - at least on my Phone. You should use the same steps below to solve 60mA drain or otherwise on your phones as well.

1. Installed Better Battery Stats 1.1.1.0

2. Goto Partial Wakelocks and choose option - Since Charged or Since Unplugged

3. Find the Top 2 consumers :-

Mine were CHECKIN HANDOFF - Google Services ( more than 86% use ) in my case over 4 hours - AND EVENT LOG HANDOFF - Google Services - again very significant usage way above what it should be.

The rest were fine ( significantly less than 1% ).

4. I Then installed AUTORUN MANAGER Version 3.1 ( pro )

This allows you to list Applications with Receivers and to disable individual receivers from user AND System Applications

5. Went to Google Services Framework ( obvious place to check )

6. Disabled ( unchecked ) the Checkin.EventLogService$Receiver

7. Disabled ( unchecked ) the CheckinService$TriggerReceiver

8. Disabled ( unchecked ) the CheckinService$Receiver

9. Disabled ( unchecked ) the CheckinService$SecretCodeReceiver

PROBLEM SOLVED - ONLY 3-4mA drain in Standby now Instead of the ****ty 60mA drain.

Finally I can have a 100% perfect Rom

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetrobot:
So, just got the case, and glad to say that it is a perfect fit, save for the top mic being slightly covered (which is fairly immaterial imo).

The fit and finish are absolutely top grade. The case does not seem to affect radio signals nor accessibility of the battery cover, headphone jack, speaker and microphone.

It's important to note that the phone with the bumper on feels nice and secure in my hands. I have 'standard-sized' hands, and found the phone alone slippery, as if it were about to jump out of my hands at any point. After adding the bumper, grasping the side of the phone makes it feel much more secure and actually easier to use. Much less awkward.

UPDATE - The phone's total weight with a micro sd card, oem batter, and the bumper is 154-155 grams. Meaning, the bumper adds about 39-40 grams.

On with the pictures.

Really big box for a small package inside.

Shows where to install foam tape.

Very nice and snug fit, with zero play- before adding foam tape.

Foam tape in place now that I know the phone fits well.

Perhaps they left this bare for a wrist strap? Though, I didn't notice a slot for one on the international version. In any case (pun?), the bumper case seems to extrude far beyond the exposed part.

Not the best angle, but the loudspeaker is perfectly centered, and fully exposed.

Note the mic port (bottom of phone). Fully exposed, near-perfect alignment.

The volume and power buttons are still easily triggered, although they seem recessed within the bumper. You have to use the cushioning of the finger, as opposed to the tip however.

Standard headphone jack fits snugly, without contacting the bumper.

The tiny bump on the back of the case, part of the headphone jack surround, provides a 1mm clearance. Since the camera module slightly protrudes, the actual camera clearance, at it's lowest point, is about a 0.5mm. While this is far from sufficient on a rough surface, it is good to know that sliding it across a flat surface such as a table or desktop will not damage the camera.

A good 1mm+ of clearance on the front side.

I commented on your other thread, but, sick case! How long did it take to get here and how much was the shipping? It might just be worth $40. Does it completely cover the noise canceling mic?

Edit, saw you answered over there. $40 + 8.50 off ebay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetrobot:
ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...ccessories&hash=item3f0bae1319#ht_6510wt_1163

Same company sells it on their website: http://www.toughracing.com/zc126d/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=199

It shipped from SK, as you can see. Surprisingly, it took about 5-6 business days only, from the order date.

Yes, it does completely cover the noise cancelling mic..., but I think enough background sound gets in there for it to compensate accordingly. I do need to do some more filed testing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Harbinger1080:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] senortighto:
this looks like a a pretty awesome case, but would you say worth the price over another premium case ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetrobot:
It adds very little weight as the frame is aluminum, but it does give the phone a much appreciated sturdier feel. Adds just the right amount of bulkiness, and provides a really secure feeling when in hand.

I personally felt the phone felt a little too light, and cheap prior. I prefer a solid, dense feel, which this provides in the perfect amount.

They is no way for the screws to catch on anything. They are recessed deep enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetrobot:
Without a single doubt. As I said in the previous post, this is just what this phone needs. No more, no less.

I think that silicone cases do the job, but fall (very) short in terms of aesthetics. As do other hard plastics and plastic/ metal combinations.

This is a nice piece of hardware, and has a great profile. Shrouding it in cheap silicone or plastic, even it it's considered a 'premium' case, simply takes away the appeal. All metal gives it just what it needs to feel more solid, much like an iPhone 4, which is undeniably sleek - glass and metal - only rugged materials.

This phone feels overly 'plasticky'. This particular solution provides exactly the remedy to that, while maintaining it's overall slim profile. I think it's well balanced, and offers great protection from drops on hard surfaces.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Beat me to it! I ordered the black one of these over a week ago. Main reason is that it allows the back to be taken off while the case is still on. EXTENDED BATTERY!

i've included a picture just so people can see the color, i got the green one and the youtube review video shows this one as being alot brighter then what i recieved, yet the ebay picture was alot more washed out then i recieved. personally was hoping for a brighter neon look, but just so anyone thinking of purchasing can see what the color looks like.

*hope u dont mind TS

** oh nevermind lol xda wont let me post pictures cuz i'm a still new here. lame. well regardless to anyone thinking of purchasing the green one........its not as green as your lead to believe. Its not awful by any means just......not what i was expecting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Harbinger1080:
Maybe it's just my area, but in central Florida, gps reception is kind of crap. At best, I see 9 satellites, and connect to 7.

I tried a barely there aluminum case, and it rendered the gps in my phone worthless. I ordered a Taurus last week, and I just hope it ends up better than that. I love the style, so I hope it doesn't break anything for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetrobot:
I live in SE Florida, and gps reception is very spotty in general. The case definitely affects locking satellites somewhat, but I've yet to do some more controlled testing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Harbinger1080:
I'm at least a little optimistic because you say "somewhat". The effect from the barely there case was dramatic and immediate.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to receive your case? The tracking for Korea Post / EMS is pretty terrible, and the thing's been stuck at Handed over to Air carrier	INCHEON since 10/26. Haha, EBay estimates delivery on 11/23... I'm hoping they can do better than that. I'm in Central Florida, so I'm hoping mine is around as fast as yours.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetrobot:
