[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] URINUDNK:
Hello there!

I know it's a feature in CM7 to mute the camera completely, including the focus sound. But i'm using Froyo(bread), because i feel it's overall better than gingerbread.

I've edited the camera_click.ogg and video_record.ogg to be silent but as you all probably know, if the phone isn't mutet there will be a loud BEEP BEEP sound when you take pictures.

I've learnt that this something that is coded inside one of the camera files, more precisely:

"android_packages_apps_Camera / src / com / android / camera / Camera.java", line 122, "private static final int FOCUS_BEEP_VOLUME = 100;"

Thing is, i'm no coder and even if i did manage to edit this, i'm sure it would need some sort of special compiling before it would work. Therefore im making this thread, in hope of any experienced users out there maybe being able to help me. Since i dont even know how to get to this Camera.java file.

Thanks in advance

Hi... I've FroyoBread too...and I don't like camera sound, so I renamed Camera_Click.ogg from system/media/audio/ui/ to any other name..example: "camera.click.ogg.bak"...now I don't have any fckng sound :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] URINUDNK:
That is not the focus sound. I'm aware of how to get rid of click sound, that is as easy as to remove/replace/delete the file from the .rar of the ROM before you even install it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
What are your opinions on the note guys?

To get it, I'd have to restock my GSII for an Iphone 4s-16gb.

$200+$35 for $600+ profit

Then buy it for $800.

So basicly, I'm spending $435 for the Note, is it worth it? I don't want to wait for the US version because it's probably going to be worse.... plus the LTE radio on it is gonna mess up the battery life. And.. we have to probably wait like another 7 months.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
I wish I had a phone to sell to compensate for my cost + duty. The US one probably wont be out for 4-6 months. I think it's worth it for this amazing device!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ~ L:
This is almost exactly what I am doing, but instead I will get the White 32gb iPhone 4S for maximum profitability, and I'll be ordering from mobilecityonline since they're in State and $100 cheaper then most conversions I've done.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
I'm going to wait. Price will drop by a couple of hundred bucks, and all the early buyers will figure out all the glitches. More roms will be developed by then, and more accessories will be available for the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sebring5:
It is worth it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ~ L:
One big caveat I had about the note was the lack of NFC, and it seems like the American variant will also lack it (according to FCC documentation), so for me there is no real reason to wait other than price fluctuation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wonsanim:
Form me this device is a tool for bussiness and is what i need thats the reason i have one now:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eallan:
Buy it! I paid more than $435 :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
That's what I'm thinking, too, though it's very tempting...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mxmarcus:
I am just waiting to see if Sammy will release one with T-Mobile 3g/4g support.

If they add NFC to the mix, that's a big winner for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mxmarcus:
True, you can buy it now at $700 (mobilecityonline.com) compared to $1000 we've seen earlier.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Mobilecityonline still has no ETA for the Note stock, meaning... it's gonna take a while before they start shipping.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B!0HaZard:
We just got a used Desire and after using it for a day, it suddenly went into a boot loop. We can't boot into the ROM, we can't boot into recovery, it just crashes and restarts. We can only reach the H-boot. The phone is S-ON and on a stock HTC ROM. How can we fix this? Also, it might be covered by warranty, should we contact the store to see if they'll fix it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What exactly happens when you try to get into recovery?

hello please help me

my phone i9100 galaxy s2

there was on it :

I9100XXKF1

Kernel version

2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG2-CL342890

root@DELL104 #2

GINGERBREAD.JPKG2

the oreginal

i tried to root but root is not complete it and then its not boot all i have then is galaxy s2 with yellow triangle

i asked in some forums and they told me to room it with SGS II JPKF3 Full

i tried but in Odin3 v1.83 gaves me Faild and this is its pic

after that all i got in my phone is this
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Looks like you've trashed your phone with repartitioning and flashing a kernel as a bootloader. What guide were you following which told you to do this?

I would expect this is a rather sheepish trip to a Samsung Service Centre.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrex722:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrex722:
i follow one of arabic guide

is there any box can fix this ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meranto:
It might not be completely bricked. Try really hard to get into download mode. If that still works, flash a stock firmware from Intratechs thread with his guide, with one .tar file only. This is how I unbricked mine after I put the wrong stuff in the wrong Odin box.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
Its not bricked. Its at the second 'download mode' point. Go to intratechs official software thread in original development thread and follow the directions in the first post.

When using odin, make sure you arent running kies at the same time. Odin and kies dont mix well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrex722:

I had the same problem rooting yesterday with the newest android sdk release. For some reason, the fastboot.exe file is not in the release. You need to download an earlier release of the sdk as a zip file, unzip it and copy the fastboot.exe file to your platform-tools folder. That should fix the problem and allow you to continue.

Hey guys a couple a days ago i flash to my phone the stock 2.3.6 the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v2. My phone works great but my battery its horrible. Is this because of the adrenaline thing??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
Calibrate your battery then give it a few days...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
Also... flash kj6.... you are behind the times. Kj6 mostly has wifi fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Exactly what Calamus said. I'm running KJ6, drhonk's KJ1 kernel, and Adrenaline Shot v12. I calibrated my battery (there are apps for that in the market), and my battery life is pretty good.

If I'm heavily using my phone I get a bit over half a day of battery life. That's with really heavy use (wifi calls, texting, XDA app, and other apps being used). With normal use it'll last me a day.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daworship:
Im in the kj6 stock the kj1 is the kernel. Im going to look the calibrate app to see if my battery last longer. But for example sometimes i have to chrage my phone twice a day. I never let the battery drain completly if i know the battery is in 20% i charge the phone. This can happend to me twice a day. I dont talk so much i do txt a lot and use in a normal way some apps, games and wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I've noticed wifi eats the battery quite a bit. I'd suggest turning it and other features off if you're not using them. I keep bluetooth & GPS off all of the time. I have wifi on when I'm at home as I get better coverage than on the carrier network.

Give it a few days after you calibrate it as it takes a little time for it to level out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
"Juice defender" in the market. Free version works well. paid gives a few more features. I would re calibrate after install. I have no problems getting a full day with moderate to heavy use.

I have been messing with juice defender and im running alot better i calibrated battery then i set up app i has lots of options like shut down at night or kill connectivity when off. If not try octane rom that gave me great batt i would run 4 hrs of sat radio and still have 40% battery after
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daworship:
Did the calibrate battery app and manage to turn off some things in my phone and i do see some good changes in my battery life overall, this is an ok device Tmobile has launch or is soon to , some really good phones but right now the only choice that i could think of is the galaxy s II i saw a video of a phone fight between the galaxy s II and the iphone 4s and the iphone won in so many ways, but till this day and looking forward to android 4.0 im a Android fanatic 100%
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
An architect buddy of mine who is a big iPhone guy ( iPhone 1 to new iPhone 4s recently) was playing around with my sgs4g a week or so ago, it was the first Android phone he had ever messed with. He was taking about how great his iPhone battery life was (true) when i got a facebook notification come through, followed by a twitter notification, while he was using the imdb app. "Your phone can do more than one thing at a time?" He asked....

"Sure, yours can't?" i asked in return.

"No, i gotta physically open Facebook to check messages, then close it afterwards." He said.

"Wow that really sucks, i see why your battery life is so great though." I commented.

.....silence...."F this I'm buying an Android" he said, and he did....a galaxy s2 and he said it pwns the iPhone 4s he just bought and traded. True story.

I guess its a tradeoff, great battery life or ultra versatile multi tasking usability. I understand that some people do prefer the iPhone, and they are great...if that's what you want....but for a review to state an iPhone 4s beats a galaxy s2 in almost every test is laughable and i would have to question the reviewers reliability and validity.

Once you get the phone set up right, undervolted etc the battery life is quite acceptable considering its performance. I have got almost 2 days with light use, and can comfortably get 8 to 9 hours with heavy use.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
The tips that I picked up on is:

Disable any OC and/or non-standard governor, don't run too many apps while charging.

Charge the phone up completely

After it is charged completely, your calibration app should show you the mVh, unplug the power wait a second and plug it back in. Mine usually gets to 4203 (or something like that. I don't have my phone back yet.). If you don't use a calibration app, spareparts should show you mVh level.

Then delete the baterystats.bin. Disconnect charger, and let the phone drain until it dies.

When it is dead. Plug it into the charger and don't touch the phone until it is fully charged. OC and non-standard governors should still be disabled or at their defaults.

After it is fully charged, use your phone like normal (again, no OC etc...), let the phone die all the way again.

Charge the phone up all the way again.

re-enable OC and/or governors.

baterystats.bin is a log of the phone's battery usage and capacity. I've also been told to do steps 6-7 over and over to get more log information into baterystats.bin to get a more reliable battery charge.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I thought the iPhone 4S has **** battery life. That's why everyone was complaining about it, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vlad_z:
batterystats.bin is a log file - true... deletion of that file has nothing to do with calibration - it's a myth.

Android is reading SOC (state of charge) battery from fuel gauge chip. It happens this chip calculates remaining capacity wrong - so it needs to be calibrated.

Proper method depends on type of that chip. With old, colomb type of fg, you would indeed required to make a full discharge followed by full charge in order to let the chip now of how many mAh battery can get in.

Modern fg is using math model which can predict / calculate capacity based on open-circuit voltage measurements. So you don't need to stress your battery with full charge/discharge cycle.

Again, 'calibration apps' do nothing more but delete that log file - this is not how fg chip got it's calibration.

It's interesting topic - battery, current consumption, calibration. It's surrounded with that myth about batterystats.bin and various 'calibrator apps' built on top of it.

I just cannot resist this time from commenting this "facts".

On topic - my sgs4g with KD1 rom, rooted, debloated standby time with wifi, 4g off, only GSM voice and SMS can lasts 5-7 days.

Some normal use - 2 days,

Reading ebook non-stop - 8 hours,

music or audio-books - 15-20 hours.

Netflix, internet on wifi non-stop - 5 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I'm honestly not sure man. He only had it for a few days, and I don't really follow Apple. Sounds right though, if Apple gave it more "umph" you would expect the battery life to suffer. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
some people were reporting issues with battery drain on the 4S, but a lot depends on how you have notifications/sync setup, and I believe apple is working on a patch.

Same thing goes with the SGS4G. First thing you want to do is check your accounts and sync. I leave Facebook turned off. It only syncs if I actually open it and log in. I only have my gmail account syncing, and it's set to sync only once an hour (using juice defender to do this).

Otherwise, wifi, BT, and GPS are off unless I am using them. I regularly get between 3 and 4 days out of a charge with light use.

Also, I've never calibrated my battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Based on this post, how do you verify that your SGS4G is actually measuring open-circuit voltage accurately and how would you make appropriate adjustments?.... assuming that the hardware is tweakable. Is there some kind of software / linux / adb command available?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vlad_z:
Regarding calibration I have some research done here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1215182

It's possible to initiate / write down to the fg chip but for it some kind of jig cable needed or modified kernel. But fg chip designed that way it can do recalibration on its own with some time and normal usage pattern.

Open-circuit voltage chip would consider when battery is at rest and voltage change less then some mV per hour. When device is in deep sleep - conditions might be right (if there is no background activity) . To make sure - just shutdown device for couple hours. Chip is connected to the battery regardless.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Wait......I thought ios5 copied and implemented the notification bar? I mean wouldn't that make multitasking on the iphone pretty dang close to android?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Like I said, I don't really follow iPhone, but it would make sense that by adding multitasking the battery life would start to fall more in line with android. My buddy was saying when they initially implemented "quasi-multitasking" with I believe OS4 (please correct me if I'm wrong) it still sucked so bad that all it did was frustrate him more...putting an app to sleep / freezing it while you use another is an abuse of the term multitasking.

I hope apple is getting it together for the millions of subscribers that pay premium dollars for their products and services.

My point in comparing the two was that it is a clear example of our current technological / financial limits and consequential trade off between with battery life and performance / functionality.

For myself...I would prefer to have as much functionality as I want and scale it back if needed to extend battery life vs. having both dictated to me by an OS.;)

In that respect I believe Android is clearly a pioneer, and now Apple is making moves to align their new and future OS functionality with existing Android OS.:)

EDIT:...steps down from the soapbox....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Here is me, F#*$ Microsoft Windows(except 7zip for windows). I only use Mac to do my UBUNTU and OS X Lion devving. I am an apple fan to the greatest. Except, I hate iPhone. I wanted one back in 09, except my dad bought me a G1. I loved it and became quite fond of android. Also, I ended up getting an iPod Touch. This way, I was able to keep up to android and iPhone. Well jailbreaking my touch gave me a full iOS4, but it will never get iOS5. My G1 broke well before Gingerbread came out and I had CM6 on it. I knew both. Now on my galaxy, I follow android much better. But I get to keep up with IOS5 and the 4S, because "ALL" of my friends either have a junk phone, or an iPhone(lots are 4Ss'). I will never lose faith in either android or mac though. (no iPhones or Windows')

My conclusion.

-Android initially got a bunch of stuff from iPhone, (necessary things), but android was and always will be the master of multitasking.

-Iphone stole the notification bar and multitasking. At the same time, iphone has a horrible notification bar. It takes way too much touch effort to pull down the bar, where as android's is handy.

-Android win's at life.

So this is an open question, that started with me trying to play music off my Galaxy SII on my A500. So far no luck, as the best technology to do this seems to be Wifi Direct, but that's only on the A500.

I can set up ftp , cifs, or samba shares, but they only work when both are connected to my home network. Not on many public ones and not at work, due to ports being restricted.

Are there any cool bluetooth programs I have not found?

Any way to use Wifi-Direct or some other direct link between the devices?

Or just any cool uses for two android toys that I have not thought of?

They are both rooted, with custom rom's and I am fairly capable, so a little hacking is ok.

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Sounds like you need a DLNA server/player. AcerMedia supports DLNA shares, so you need to find a suitable server for your phone. As for the connection itself, public hotspots are no good for that. It has nothing to do with port blocking, etc. but rather a security feature called AP isolation, that prevents two clients connected to the same hotspot to communicate at all. My best bet is an ad-hoc connection (seeing that you are rooted) and DLNA streaming over it.

One cool little app I've found so far is TabletTalk - syncs SMS between tablet & phone (over wifi or bluetooth) and allows you to send SMS from the tablet.

I downloaded tablet talk today after reading about it in this thread. App works great! A few months ago i got rid of my home wifi, have been using my phone as a hotspot. to get a good 4g signal i usually put my phone near a window, and obviously if you get a text it can be annoying to get up and go get your phone so you can respond. This app solves the problem conpletely! well worth the 3 dollar imo!
