[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Some tips:

After flashing a ROM or changing gps.conf the GPS occasionally doesn't like to work. Enter angry gps through the dialer (never sgs tools, secgps.conf doesn't update I'd you launch it that way) and toggle the operation mode reboot and toggle it back.

If using Msbased location and the nmea data is old locks can take a long time. This happens if you turn GPS off and use it infrequently.

The google IP based location service (network location).can wreak havoc on the tracking, turn it off! this is especially true in cities where public wifi is everywhere, it will show you're location bouncing from store front to store front. Though it can be helpful on highways with public wifi like i've seen in Pennsylvania and new Jersey on my way to Philly I still prefer actual GPS locks and Samsung phones have a hard time deciding which to use.

Also any smartphone will have threads like this, I have seen mixed experiences in several forums, and my and others personal experience with 2g and 3g IPhones has been negative despite the common opinion that they have good performance. Even my aria was lacking in acceptable gps. Fact is that we are dealing with sensitive components and there will be bad units. What I will say is that the infuse is much more capable than the captivate, my captivate had great reception, better than my infuse, but it didn't seem to like the data running with the GPS, if I used Ms based location it wouldn't track well, and it didn't agree with google maps at all, apps with maps stored on the phone and standalone GPS made tracking impeccable though. The infuse can use Ms based location with few issues and the recent leaks use it by default and I have been more than pleased with the GPS on kj2 without changing any settings at all.

The update when ever it drops may not fix a bad unit so it won't help everyone but I think some people will stop complaining about the spastic moments that Samsung phones can have.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Perpetrator:
Turned off network and assisted GPS, I now get faster locks and faster refreshing, but still no solid lock... I can live with it though. Thanks for the tips!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Chewy11:
Still no lock for me. I'm going to atempt a return to stock soon and see how that goes. Probably end up going to see Rogers if I think its hardware.
[TouchPad General] ankorez:
anyone know how reset all ?

it is possible ?

yes it is !

I solved my problem

If your TouchPad blocked on hp logo..

you must download WebOs Doctor for reinit your TP

choose version for you HP here: http://www.webosbuzz.com/webos-info...webos-doctors-touchpad-pre-pixi-veer-etc.html

install webos doctor and follow setup for reinit you TP

power on your TP in developer mode with hold volup and press power

like usb icon appears you can start flash

if your flash stuck at 12%

you must do it

download novaterm here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Accessing_Linux_Using_Novaterm and unzip in folder \palm\sdk\bin

restart webos doctor

when it block at 12% launch "novaterm"

connect at host

tape this command: dosfsck -r /dev/mapper/store-media (as mentioned below there is a space between -r /dev/mapper)

choose option 2

and valid size

when it finish close Webos doctor

and restart Webos doctor and flash again

after setup your TP and reboot go to settings and device information

it is possible missed space disk

in this case you must go settings in webos -> reset all and erase

after this operation go again to settings -> device information and check size

sorry for my bad english

for info:

WebOS Doctor begins

At 3%, a ramdisk is transferred to the phone, and the phone is rebooted

At 4%, the screen changes to the HP logo

At 9%, the screen changes to a big arrow pointing down to an integrated circuit

Novaterm access is available from 12% onwards

The progress bar advances by 2% increments every 20 seconds or so

If it gets stuck at 52% for more than 30 seconds, it's not going to progress further and you will need to try again.

Around 54% the filesystems are being partitioned

Around 64% the modem firmware is being reflashed

Around 72% the carrier apps are being installed

Around 82% the ROM is being verified

If the process fails at 84% or later, the flash and modem have actually been written, so if you reboot you will get what you were flashing.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] glastonbury:
how soon before an overclock kernel for galaxy note comes out? Perhaps one which could take it to say 1.8 or even 2 Ghz. I have an S2 right now that is overclocked to 1.6 Ghz and works perfectly fine. No glitches or hangs. The big new display aside, i don't think note offers anything too significant in terms of hard specs if somebody has a rooted galaxy S2, which is like almost everybody these days. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] siamchen:
There are only two exciting thing on the Note which are: big screen and S pen. Most of people are buying it because of those two key things instead of running speed. Otherwise, lots of other phones can be choose at this days.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
I think the focus should be on optimising the Kernel, ROMs first before overclocking as this would increase the efficiency of the Overclock.

Help, I just received my Galaxy Note from Unlockedmobiles.com and the little user guide is in Dutch or something. I have been trying to find a user manual in English to download but no luck. Anyone out there have one?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalsa1nt:
Hello all,

I've been having a look round on the internet to find a solution to the problem that I'm currently facing with my Galaxy S2,

I recently installed the checkrom OS and darknight firmware, and decided to use clockworkmod to backup the rom and settings, it restarted and then flashed up the start up screen, I.E:

"Samsung

GALAXY S II

GT-I9100"

It wont go any further than this, and if I turn the phone off and on again its stuck on the same screen, it will not go into recovery mode, nor will it go into download mode.

Am I right in thinking that for some unknown reason it failed to reboot into CWM to do a ROM backup and has bricked my phone? In which case will a USB Jigg off of amazon at the very least restore the download mode?

Responses very welcome, as I am a bit buggered without my phone =)

Much thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslim38:
The only way to get past this try and boot into clockwork mod and do a complete wipe and reflash the ROM and don't use any custom kernels use the one that comes with the ROM and that should get ya going and make shure you wipe your dalvik ceche and your battery stats
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
:rolleyes:

Anyway, if you can't get into download or recovery mode, yes, it could be worth trying a jig, it can't make it any worse ;).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalsa1nt:
Haha thanks, think your probably right, I cant think of any other way to recover the phone if I cant access the Download mode at the very least.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslim38:
Did you try it through ROM manager
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
I recently had an issue quite the same -- on the latest MIUI build, with SiyahKernel, I tried to perform a backup using ROM Manager, and it rebooted the device, and then I couldn't get past the Galaxy S II logo. I couldn't access recovery mode either.

My only solution was to put it into download mode, and restore the stock firmware for the device, then re-root, and re-install everything.

I think you might be confusing recovery mode and download mode though... I understand you might not be able to enter recovery mode (volume UP + home + power), but you definitely should still be able to enter download mode (volume DOWN + home + power) -- if not, you're pretty much going to have to take it to a Samsung Service Center, and play dumb if they ask you about custom ROMs, etc. ;)

But I'm very confident that you should still be able to access download mode, try giving it another shot :D

Remember, volume down.

If you can get into it, find and download your stock ROM, and flash it through Odin (if you need help with finding it or whatever, just PM me?)

As before, if you can't access download mode, a jig won't do anything for you.

Can I bluetooth a 360 or PS3 controller to play N64 roms?

The games run PERFECT on it, but the touch controls suck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memoryex:
try an icontrolpad. Works a treat. D pad, shoulder buttons and 2 analogue nubs. Works with all the emu's.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFirlen:
Maybe this iControlPad is good, but still too expensive! 70$!??!?! Maybe have someone else bought a bluetooth gamepad thats working too?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overhaze:
The PS3 controller will work via USB but not Bluetooth. Believe it or not the 360 controller isn't Bluetooth, Microsoft use their own proprietary wireless tech, but if you buy one of the wireless dongles for connection one to a PC it should work fine but thats second hand knowledge. I am yet to try it myself.

Personally I just use my PS3 controller :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snootched2:
There's talk that asus will release USB adapter that will plug into the port that the dock uses. I have not seen these for sale as of yet.

Another option, is you can use a wiimote with the classic controller attached to it. Works with bluetooth. Just search the market for wiimote.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Thats what i used to use but you can get a classic pro controller for about $20 plugs in like a nunchuck and it works even better it has d-pad shoulder buttons two analog sticks and the usual controls.

All you have to do to get it to work is download the wii controler app from market and enable custom ime in n64oid then map you contros and your good to go ive used it on star fox super mario pod racers fighters destiny bangoo kazooi and one of the race games
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larrikin:
I find that N64 games, especially the games that are N64 exclusives, don't really work as well with a classic controller. The N64 had such a weird button setup. I use my classic controller for PSX, SNES, and GBA games

Ok, I came from iPhone 4 and now when I want to send a photo in my Gmail app it does not resize them, sends them in 8 mpix !!! Are they so stupid that they cannot copy that feature from iOS or I am stupid and dont know how ? Basically, when I add photo on iPhone it asks me if I want small, medium, large or original and on every mode it says how big it would be, like "Small (96 KB)". Now I have sent one photo and it has sent 2,5 Mb which is insane.

Any help for this ?

Tnx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
It is not a feature of the Gmail app. If you want to resize, you'd have to do it first using a different application.

Tnx, and then people call iPhone dummy phone, yea right, so much normal things are missing on Android. Today I also realized that I cant go oflline in Facebook chat on my phone, maybe I can but as soon as I get in the Facebook app again then I am again online for good, I really think that iOS app developers are waaaay smarter and more polished than Android app developers, and also have better taste because EVERY app looks nicer when it is for iOS, is it so hard to take some nice looking font and colors so the app looks nice. Obviously it is. Only thing that is better is Handcent app.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damirbusic:
I come from white iPhone 4 to white SGS II :)) I am realistic, there are basic things that iPhone is missing but surely there are basic things that Android is missing, at least in 2.3.3 version, I hope ICS will be better. But that aside, the look of iOS apps are not comparable to Android. Can someone explain me if the same developers are making lets say Skype, why they cant make them IDENTICAL !? If they cannot make it identical inside, why do they change the look, colors and font and Android ALWAYS looks worse, I dont get it, it looks like only iPhone users are classy people and Android users are second class, like stupid old Symbian which became offense to intelligence how old it looked and costed like something on top.

And that Facebook app on Android cannot be in the same sentence with iOS app, the look, the functionality, the speed.

So here is forbidden to talk about Android flaws !? I thought that iPhone users are blind sheeps and now it seems that Android has some blind folowers ! If something is bad than you should be a man/woman and openly say it, not hide it and think that you have the best phone in the world., jeez. Ive told that both of those OS have flaws and that is opinion of every normal man, only idiot can tell that there is a phone that is pefect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You have a very aggressive writing style. No-one has said you can't talk about a "flaw" (it's not by the way, it's a feature request), we just can't change it.

If you want it changed, voice your opinion to Google. Venting with flame bait here isn't going to get you a new feature added.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
No, we're not forbidden to talk about Android flaws. And nobody here claims their phone is perfect.

It just seems that Android pisses you off enough that the SGS2 shouldn't be the phone for you to use on a daily basis.

I hear the resale value for the iPhone4 is still pretty good. Probably best to sell it and then get the iPhone 4S.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damirbusic:
Sorry if it sounded aggressive but when I tell that something is stupid on my phone most of the answers are go back on iPhone, I didnt tell that iPhone is better overall but I know what I miss from it and I dont like it because I cant have that now, there iz no Cydia which could make those tweaks.

I have waited for iPhone 5 and when I saw this s**t called 4S I immediately went for SGS II even tough Ive had BAD experience with SGS I, this one is not comparable with the first model.

Hello,

I have searched everywhere but I can not find a solution to my problem.

A few weeks ago I was able to connect my phone to my computer and Eclipse without issue. All the drivers worked even without Kies ever being installed.

Then I installed Cyanogenmod for my Galaxy S2. Here is the guide I followed.

After that my computer would not recognize any drivers. I uninstalled all drivers related to my phone, I even installed Kies. My computer still won't recognize any drivers.

Please help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sokarius:
Same problem here: after installation of Cyanogen PC wont recognise Galaxy S2 (even after re-installing drivers/kies; using a different PC; etc.).

I am not blaming anyone here, just wondering whether there is a solution.

Would it help to flash back to stock ROM for instance?

Ok..I have checked xda, but not cyanogen forum. The reason is a differently built Rom, not based on standard Samsung rom. I would post a link, but can't as new user. So flashing back or taking a rom based on Samsung would help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HighBomber:
Thanks for posting Sokarius. I am glad to hear I am not the only one with this problem.

I may back up my phone and give MIUI a try to see if that works. Other wise I may have to revert back to the stock firmware. I will be testing it more over the Holidays.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HighBomber:
I can't believe I couldn't find this before. You're post hinted that a Google driver may be needed since CM uses the Google source.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psych2l:
Hello all, new to the E4GT world from the OG evo and I loaded starburst 1.9 after formatting system and data, wiping cache and then dalvik cache in that order. I find though while I was loading all my old apps to the new rom that the battery percentage keeps dropping even when the usb is connected. I'm using the official samsung cable. Does this happen to anybody else? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
I've had this happen but only when I was overclocked and watching videos while connected via USB to my PC. If you're plugged into a wall Jack and this is happening there's probably something wrong. Also make sure you're using the adapter that came with your phone as different phones have different voltage/amperage and that can cause them to kill the battery. I've had to tell this to friends and even had one permanently damage their battery where it wouldn't take a charge because he was using an old charger.

USB connected to your PC just can't give enough juice for high end phones. That's why they charge slower than when plugged directly into the wall.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psych2l:
Thanks for the heads up, I normally work with the screen always on when connected to usb, but it appears to be charging normally now that it's attached straight to the wall. Still it's sad to see I can't overclock easily while on the PC :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
With many phones you can use up power faster than it can charge. Doing stuff like tethering over WiFi with both WiFi and Cellular radios running is a common scenario, but you can do it other ways too. If the phones charge too fast, they can overheat too, and they could have circuitry to disable charging in an attempt to reduce the temperature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
Yup. Running wifi tether with the screen on with an overclocked kernel is another scenario where this phone can't get enough juice from the USB port
