Hello guys , I just wonder that is there anyone who is able to charge the 3rd party battery until %100 ?

I 've bought 3 different batteries , all of them could be charged until %89 ( no root,orginal room ,no high capacity ), although I can charge %100 with orginal battery :))

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation XL] casualdroid:
Custom ROM, cyanogen mod 11.

Stock battery, charges till 89%.

I have bought a gold battery 2450mAh and she is 3.7 voltage. When I insert the charger nothing happens. When I connect my phone to my PC the phone reacts, but it still wont charge...

I want to be able to have a bigger icon on the home screen. I am using Folder organizer to organize my apps into categories on the home screen but I want the icons for the folders to be 3 by 3.

Is this possible?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ndy4eva:
I tried out multiple different custom ROMs over last several days, and it seems like PIN or password lock does not work. Only the pattern lock works.

I tried Infused, GSInfuse, DlevROM and leaked AT&T.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ndy4eva:
Anyone?

It maybe due to my Widgetsoid. Does anyone know how to make it lock when the screen goes off?

Thanks,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ndy4eva:
It looks like majority of custom ROM's based on Roger's GB ROM doesn't work. I found out CM7.1 (compiled) and leaked AT&T GB ROMs can only lock with PIN or password. All others (GSInfused, Infused, S7, Dlev, even new Sensation) can only lock with pattern. uhmmmm....

I would go with CM7 but it doesn't have BT support (which I really need). Oh well... going with AT&T leaked UCKJ4 for now.

btw, I found out AT&T caps the wifi tether speed to 1mbps (really stupid). You can't even watch youtube on wifi tablet/notebook with that speed. I'm using custom kernel to avoid this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francois36boris:
Hello everyone, I'm going to upgrade from my Galaxy 5 to some other Android device, and I have 1.000 R$ ( 570 US dollars ) to spend on a new smartphone. Here on Brazil with that money you can buy a Nexus S, a Xperia Arc or a Motorola Atrix. So I don't know which one to choose. The Xperia Arc is gorgeous, thin, has a great camera and a bigger display, the Nexus S will be receiving most of the updates right after their release, has a front facing camera and a Super Amoled screen, while the Atrix is.. well.. meh. So, which of those do you recommend for me to choose as my smartphone for the next 2 years? Also, I watch A LOT of TV shows on my smartphone, i'm a pretty hardcore gamer and I listen to music constantly on my Galaxy 5, so the phone must have nice media capabilities.

Thanks!

man , you are asking in Nexus S section, so , sure , your answer would be Nexus S,

if you ask in their section , sure you have answer of their section.

personal idea , i suggest wait for another moth or so , wait for Galaxy Nexus , and then you can sell you Galaxy 5 to get some money , plus your 570 USD , almost there ...

Great info Thanks, was useful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
If you're into music probably the sensation. I dont know if the bl has been unlocked on sensation but if it has find a better rom with better battery life. And part ofthe the reason sgs2 does well on battery is samsung took some initiative and included hardware acceleration which has been lacking on android and will continue to do so until ICS gets out in wild and more phones are released. But if you think the sensation doesnt float your boat get the nexus. The sgs2 has too many flaws for my personal use and it seems to not fit yours.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
not to sound negative

but if that is really your goal, the i doubt Galaxy Nexus is your choice of phone, as it will really lack on the music & gaming department.

the games you are talking about uses huge amount of storage space, a good sized variety of music album will probably eat a good 16 GB of space, good quality recording 192 kbps or above if you want to stream to your car stereo without sounding like a music in a tuna can ;)

you'll be better off with the SGS2 or the Sensation as a 2nd choice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lorddart:
As far as music goes... I've been using google music and it will work so you don't use your devices storage. It will definitely eat some data if not on wifi, but yeah its what I did when I had my nexus s
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
It sounds like you like the Sensation a lot so I would recommend sticking with it. No microSD support on the GN will limit your music and games a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
that's the hard lesson i learned from the Nexus S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordButtersI:
The sensation is definitely your best bet for music. I say go with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toss3:
Definitely the Galaxy Nexus based on your preferences. The only reasons to even consider the sensation are sound and build quality(the iPhone 4S beats it in both categories). If you cannot wait then get the Galaxy S II - it's perfectly smooth, fast, customizable, has all the codec support you could need, great screen, light weight, hardware accelerated browser, great CPU/GPU for gaming, great camera, above average sound quality, etc.

The Galaxy Nexus combines the best features of both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
How exactly is the Galaxy Nexus lacking in the music department?

The codec? We have yet to see if the TWL6040 is good or bad.

The storage? 32GB isn't bad for a smartphone, there are very few 64GB ones out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I think part of the misconception with nexus gpu is people are going to expect 720p games at least 30fps. No way in hell unless we're underestimating it. I think it will be fine at current resolutions. Now can the sgx540 scale well, we will have to wait an see. Youre placing a lot of importance on sound and then games. Youre going to have to pick your poison. The sgs2 is probably the best bet for gaming. The nexus is a ?. For sound sensation, and i think the nexus will be fine.but it too is a question mark at this point. Battery life is a question mark for all three in your situation. We dont know how well the nexus will fair. You can bet the lte version will suck.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I wouldn't be too sure about the music qualitiy of the sensation. I read that it is just an equalizer setting for huge bass an nothing else. That's a quite nice review of it.

Review Sensation XE

If you want see the reasons of other users considering the Nexus I would recommend you to have look here:

Main Ressons
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ace42:
Exactly!

www.engadget.com/photos/beats-audio-test-results/#4515965

Those are the EQ settings for the beats app!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sauron0101:
In any event, Beats is not a name associated with quality in the audiophile world. Hyped up and overpriced audio equipment.

I think we'll have to see how good the XE's audio hardware is before judging.

The DAC on the GS2 though is a big letdown - they ought to have used the Wolfson DAC again rather than the Yamaha one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I believe it. Beats isnt anywhere on my audiophile list. Not that im a true audiophile, more a wannabe but youre definitely paying for the advertising and pockets of shareholders when you get beats. With that said, im willing to bet that the sensation is still a couple of steps up on the music hardware list. And im leaning towards the nexus being better than gs2 in the audio department. But i could be wrong on that. Though people want to think the nexus line is flagship on the hardware side, if anything it s a middle of the road phone with no frills software. Albeit great software with no carrier or manufacturer crap. Pure android distinguishes itself without any fancy skins or me too lines of code.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sauron0101:
All of these 3 phones should get Cyanogenmod 9 once the Ice Cream source code comes out, so AOSP > Touchwiz, Sense (which I agree with) shouldn't be a concern. From my experiences, CM has been the fastest, most stable ROMs around (and I mean official CM).

Audio-wise, we know the XE's software hyped up more than actual quality. It's nothing that PowerAmp cannot replicate. It remains to be see how good this phone sounds with other high end headphones and for those who care, the phone speakers, which are believed to be the same as the Sensation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I have no idea. Im sure beats could make a name for itslef if it pushed out some quality sound to external speakers whether theyre headphones or a x.1 setup. Im guessing you can tweak the equalizer on beats? If not then beats is a total scam, especially for bass junkies. I like my bass too, but ill take an all around bang for buck setup any day. Onkyo is a good middle of the road example. Good receiver great sound for the right price. They make some pretty ****ty speakers though. Haha.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ace42:
It's special "EQ" settings, I posted them a few post up. They work on any EQ app on a computer or phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sauron0101:
In absolute terms Beats are not terrible headphones. However they are a very poor value for the money - a $400 Beats headphone is outperformed in the sound quality department often by $50 headphones. The problem is that they sound "muddy" and that the bass is so overpowering that it tends to hide the mids and highs.

For bass junkies, consider the Audio Technica Pro 700 mk2. Costs half as much as a Beats Pro and outperforms it - big time. I personally prefer a neutral pair of cans though.

@Pukemon

Yes you can tweak the equalizer on the Beats phone and there is a special profile. As I mentioned, it isn't anything too special.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Ok. That s what i figured. Yohre basically over paying for a name. I know the earphones are overpriced. My nokia - 505s probably sound better. My nokia 214s sound like ****. They're both around $50.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Vex=-:
So in theory, a comparable sound experience could be found on the SGSII and the SGN with the right music player and EQ settings in combination with decent earphones. I still do wonder however, is the Galaxy SII's speed mostly caused by the hardware acceleration already in place? or is there some other factor which increases its performance so much.

I know quadrant is not the most reliable benchmark to measure a phones performance. But seeing scores hitting up to 5k on the SGSII with a custom rom and seeing it at 3.7k+ at stock rom while my Sensation XE is lagging behind at 2.3-2.5k kind of makes me want to switch.

However, the hardware acceleration already in place makes me wonder if ICS is really going to provide a smoother experience in terms of Gaming, Browsing and Multitasking, or if it is already at its max.

Also, my question to if only the SGSII's browser is hardware accelerated, or gaming in general as well remains to be unanswered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
No. Better hardware makes for a better experience. Volume, clarity, headphone jack and im not sure.about call clarity. But better hardware helps. Thats why you wont hear an audiophile recommending a home theater in a box.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
You know the big difference for me is that the stock ROM of the GN is AOSP so we'll have a lot of custom AOSP ROMs which I prefer rather than 1 or 2 AOSP ROMs and thousands of stupid Touchwiz or Sense ROMs. I really don't like what the manufacturers are doing with Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Vex=-:
Then I do wonder what the hardware differences are between the SGSII and Sensation in terms of Audio. Seeing as I have no understanding of the hardware in question, perhaps an audiophile could fill me in here?

Hmm, AOSP does seem quite nice, especially since I detest TouchWiz, but isn't there a possibility to simply turn off TouchWiz and go back to normal Android?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Lmao. No. Manufacturers dont get it. I bet manufacturers would better distinguish their overlays if they gave the option to turn it off.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I cant fully answer your question about internal hardware for audio. Part of the equation is amplifier and power efficiency though. I think the atrix has a wolfson chip. Its pretty good. I had a nokia x series phone for about two weeks and that was by far the bestest sound experience ive ever had personally from a phone. It was stereo too. I skipped the headphones sometimes because the external stereo speakers were so pleasant.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
Audio is all about the quality of the amp and dac and how well it is all isolated from the other electronics, which is important in a tiny device like a phone.

Different dacs have different frequency responses, jitter, and distortion levels.

The dac in the sgs2 is a "cheap" one compared to the one in the sgs2.

As far as the OMAP 4460 we don't know, as this will be the first phone with it, and each phone even with the same base specs will be different due to hardware layout and how well the audio is isolated from the distortion caused by all the other chips.

For example some people say they can hear the buzz of the cpu in the sgs2 but as someone who's pretty deaf (25% per ear) it sounds find here.

Supercution (sp?) has a good write up in the sgs2 forum.

I may have messed up some of my terminology but you should get the jist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
It isn't so easy as you think.

For example when you have a touchwiz ROM like Villain for example it's around 300MB if you remove all the bloatware from it, it's around 150MB or so.

A AOSP ROM like Cyanogen MOD is around 100 MB. So there are still 50MB which aren't possible to remove.

In addition to that the source for the touchwiz ROMs are allways a bit slow with updating. So it can be that you have 2.3.7 on the phone but the source is still 2.3.5. Which is a bit stupid for devs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Vex=-:
Hmm, thank you for your replies. This certainly has got me thinking. I think I'll be going with the SGSII for now. The lack of GPU capability is really ticking me off, and the sound does not always compensate for that.

If the Nexus turns out to be the device everyone assumes it will be, I'll probably be selling off the SGSII and get the Nexus or an HTC equivalent (I heard there's an HTC Event coming up?) which has enough processing power in combination with good audio quality.

And hey, maybe it even turns out that when ICS is released for the Sensation, that the Sensation will prove to be a fit choice for me again, seeing as the only things which are really bothering me is the battery life and the GPU.

I would really like to thank you guys for the continued replies, and I hope that I might have shed some light on the issue for other people who are contemplating on which device to get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tabelras:
I wouldn't get the Galaxy S2 if you listen to music a lot. The audio is crap compared to my old Nexus S with voodoo. And it gets even worse when you put CM7 on it. Stay with your Sensation or wait for the new Nexus. But we have yet to see how that one will perform though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Vex=-:
Unfortunately I already sent my XE back. It had light bleeding on the edge anyway. If the SGSII really fails to impress me, then I'll just sell it and buy a fully functional Sensation XE with the money, or any other HTC phone which has a decent GPU/CPU and good audio.

The Nexus isn't scoring high marks on my side anymore. But hey, we have yet to see any proof of how good/bad the Nexus is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LuffyPSP:
From your post, it sounded that you are the Google kind of guy, so Sgs2 as first choice and XE as your 2nd. My reason, sgs2 is more futureproof, and development is really great, especially now, compared to last month. And since it is more futureproof, more development.

I would do anything to get SGN though. I dont care as long as its google phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
In my opinion it's better to have a clean Android and then add your own apps and launcher. I don't like it if a company tells me what to use. Like on Sence or touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
At least you justified why you like Sense. However, I tried a friend's Desire HD, I was disappointed at Sense. I guess different people have different views. I for one hate Sense. I guess Sense is a love-hate relationship for different people....

But the beauty of Android is, we have choices :)

Wondering if anyone's willing to do this? Now that there are a dozen or so ROMs, would be kinda cool to have a thread where there's 1 or 2 pics of what differentiates the specific ROM, and 3-4 bullet points each with features\benefits. It's gotten a bit cumbersome to have to go in and view (or not be able to in some ROM threads w\o pics) the details\differentiating factors, and would be super cool to see someone who really does use em all to put together a simple basic thread with a thumbnail and brief description, kinda like the radio\kernel threads did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: rom guide

It's a good idea..

I only wish there were a dozen different roms to choose from. :)

Currently there are actually only 5 custom roms for our i777 phones.

(UnNamed, Perception, Serendipity, Cognition and CM7)

You must be thinking of the roms for the i9100 SGS2 international

phones and not the AT&T i777 SGS2 phones.

Remember there are two seperate forums for SGS2, one for the AT&T

i777 phones and the other for the i9100 international phones.

There are a lot more custom roms available for the i9100 phones

than for the AT&T i777 SGS2 phones at this current time.

Perhaps I should have purchased the i9100 phone like you did. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Well a simple and easy to read guide to 5 is better than no guide to nothing, hehe.

I ended up taking the leap and getting one of the i9100's (in nice looking white) while I was in Thailand this week. I was so excited to have a phone without carrier modification! After setting it up and using it for a day, I just can't get over the damn physical key in the middle of the phone. I feel so weird using the button, and after having the HTC Inspire, then Samsung Infuse, and then SGSII ATT version, I just can't go back to a sloppy physical key, so I eBay'd and sold the new white one and went back to my old ATT Galaxy S II in favor of the four keys. I figured you'd get a kick out of this.

Now I just need to figure out what ROM I can put on to allow manual network selection but still give me the amazing battery I'm getting on stock rom w\ codeworx kernel.

Hello all,

I unplugged my fully recharged GSII last night and set the alarm for the morning and slept. I woke up in the middle of the night, about 2 hours since I unplugged the phone and realized that it only had 78% of battery.... I've had enough battery to use for 2 days without hooking it up..

I was quite shocked to see this... but then I saw this app called "wi-fi sharing" just draining the phone's battery. It drained it down so much that when I woke up in the morning the battery was down to 50%.

What IS this monster? I have it frozen at the moment..
