[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] don_alberto:
Hello.

Using cog 1.5.1.

Installed social hub and SEVEN.

using hotmail for mail ,contacts and calander.

Tried configure using activesync but it drains my batt.

So tried to configure using social hub.

Every thing seems ok EXCEPT calendar sync!!!

I cant even see an option to do that or even see a new calendar associate with the windows live account.

Any idea?

P.s - what is downloadmanger wakelok?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
As you are running Cognition ROM, please post your question to the Cognition thread.

P.S.:

Wakelock means that an app (e.g. download manager) forces your phone to keep awake. And this is not very good for battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] don_alberto:
Cant post there due to low # of post.

I know what wakelocks are . Just want to know specificlly about downloadmanger wakelock.

Whats causing it to work?

Anyone know where I can hold of these? I couldn't find them on the phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
You can find the corresponding ogg files on your phone in /system/media/audio/notifications/

But you have to browse into the root of your phone's filesystem, so use a Root Explorer or similar (I am using ES Datei-Explorer on a rooted phone).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiwas:
Thanks for the quick reply, but...it isn't possible without root access? I have been explicitly forbidden to root my phone by my boss :S
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Depends on what you want to do.

If you want to modify, change or delete them, then you need root.

If you only want to read or play them, then you do not need root.

Goto Settings menu => Sounds => Notifications.

I guess that this is not what you want.

Without root, it is not so easy to access these system files.

P.S.:

Does your boss allow a temporarily rooting?

You can root your phone, access the notification files, and un-root your phone again.

Here is a good description on how to root your phone => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Have a look at the first post where it is written "Quick Root Guide".

Unrooting will be done with flashing back the stock kernel.

I had several frights messing with my phone back then. Flashing and modding all the way to end up in Samsung service centre.

However, the only way i see around the web to calibrate baterry requires rooting. I would prefer calibrating without rooting my device. Is there a way to do so?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahbert:
There is an app, i think its free,Battery Calibration on android market, i tried it once, kind of an improvement...me thinks. Try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
That app requires root. I would like to avoid rooting if possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Not possible, the battery stats file is located in write protected systemfolder (Correct me if i'm wrong). And thus requires root to be "edited/deleted".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazevxi:
Charge it to 100% then drain it and charge it back up I assumed was the way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Charge it to 100% then drain it until it shuts down. If this doesn't work and if u know how to flash stock roms then just flash a stock rom and charge to 100% and then drain until phone shuts down( do not charge it while its draining). Their is no way to mod batterystats.bin file except this method which I told u .

Btw batterystats.bin is located in /data/system.

Hope I helped.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titipool:
The most effective way requires rooting.... you can unroot afterwards

Calibrating battery makes no sense, the battety stat gets reset after each full charging.

there is already a button to disable the sound :-). Maybe it is better to disable sound by default like g-sensor support?

hi guys i use nexus s and i want to install a custom rom. but can i go back to stock rom if i don't like the custom rom or can i get the official updates(like ICS) while in custom rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Yes, you can revert back to a stock ROM if you choose... and no, you can't get "official" updates once on a custom ROM. But there will be plenty of customs ROMs based on ICS in the future... depending on your device, of course.

of course you can revert to your previous rom just make sure that you have made a nandroid backup and you re ready to go ! :D

i just used it to try and fix my problem, didn't tho

keep getting a E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 error, and my phone won't boot. Done the RUU a few times, etc. onward...nothing
[HTC Rezound] guut13:
Hey Joel, Thanks for putting this together.

Question - Should this still work once you flash the latest leaked RUU? I had an issue last night with it... all good now, but at one point, I thought about brushing the dust off the X2.

With GB, the regular superwipe didn't work for me, but the OPTED did. I'm on the new leaked RUU and before trying a new ROM, I ran your opted zip. After wiping system, boot, data, and cache, it hung on the "optimizing file system" part. I gave it about 5 minutes then rebooted back to recovery. Tried re-wiping /system manually and it rebooted. Tried restoring a backup and it rebooted halfway through.

Relocking and reflashing the RUU worked. Though, during the RUU install, when it got to the "system" line, it must have looped between unzipping and updating about 10 times. (Might be normal, but definitely didn't help the nerves.)

In the scripts own defense, it does say during the optimizing part... " it could take a long time" and maybe my problem is that I didn't wait long enough. However, before the new RUU, that process never took longer than 10 - 15 seconds.

Could it have anything to do with the mount point for the internal sd changing in this new leak?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] peterdan1506:
Hi there, im just wondering which phone is more future proof, i MIGHT be getting rid of 1 of them so i need 2 know which 1 i should keep. Which one of the phones is more future proof in terms of gaming?

By future proof i mean i dont want 2 upgrade in 2 years when my contract ends, i want the phone for about 3 yrs atleast.

I know Galaxy S2 has 4G and a bigger screen but on the other side of the coin the iphone 4S has a better graphics chip(dont know how much by) and i know games are always continually developed for iphones....hard decision, someone please help me make one lol

I want facts not just fanboy opinions for either device. 10 points best answer.

P.S: I already know that Andoid has less apps/games but most the ones i play are on Android.. so that particular issue aint really an issue for me.

I also want a phone that will continue running super smooth over the time also...the reason why i have both is because something about the largeness of the galaxy s2 screen keeps me coming back 2 it, but the games seem 2 run smoother on iPhone so its a hard decision
[General Questions and Answers] wongblack:
1. If i not mistaken Galaxy S2 has been awarded "The Phone of the Year",

2. S2 is more durable when come to drop test, you can easily find relevant video on youtube.

3. S2 has 1GB RAM, I4 has only 512MB, my guess is program run smoother on S2

4. Android Platform can multitask, I4 can't

5. Camera on S2 is 8MP while I4 is only 5MP.

6. S2 support 1080p while I4 support 720p

That all i can think of for the moment...
[General Questions and Answers] ultradie:
Definitely the s2. There's just more you can squeeze out of it in terms of gaming performance.
[General Questions and Answers] AngelComa:
I have to go with the Galaxy S2. Its just so nice looking.
[General Questions and Answers] peterdan1506:
lol are u guys just android fanboys?

gaming performance apparently the iphone 4s beats the galaxy s2 in gaming benchmarks..so how could u squeeze more out of it??
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
You didn't mention what iPhone you have. Anyway assuming it's at least an iPhone4 then you can bet your ass on it: iPhone all the way. It's not a matter of hardware, it's a matter of optimization: Modern Combat 2 runs much better on a 3gs rather than on an overclocked SGS2, just go on youtube and see it yourself. Every iOS game has better textures and better smoothness compared to its Android counterpart, regardless the hardware you're running it on; just have a look at some youtube game reviews and compare: it's really easy to see. Even Shadowgun, designed to take advantage of dualcore cpus still runs better on the iPhone4 rather that on my SGS2 which is tweaked like hell. There is no comparison: also, if i had to pick an Android right now mainly for gaming purposes (which is imho a bad idea anyway) i'd go for a Tegra device: sure they have their flaws and are overall slower compared to the Exynos chipset, but if you only care about games Nvidia makes good drivers and i'm pretty sure there is much headroom for improving the performance of this soc in terms of gaming.

On the other hand, talking about real life usage and overall performance and functionality the SGS2 is a much better device compared to the iPhone4, even slightly ahead of the 4s. Think about it, is it really worth it to pick up a device just because of the "gaming factor"? Not really imho. At the end of the day iPhones have more or less the same price of a decent desktop gaming rig: does it really have sense to throw so much money on a phone, if you really love games? Wouldn't you spend that money otherwise? :rolleyes:

Edit: woops i missed the "s" in your post.
[General Questions and Answers] peterdan1506:
i actually did state what device i had... the 4S
[General Questions and Answers] peterdan1506:
I dont buy a phone just for gaming, i want an all round, best featured phone with gaming as a major part of it but i also want a phone that will atleast last me 2-3 years without NEEDING an upgrade. iphones are closed soure and i dont use itunes i purchase my music from other sources so android seems 2 be the go, but then why is iphone so popular and why do games/updates come out on them first usually?
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
All in all it's a matter of personal preference: if you keep the GS2 now you probably won't *need* (unless you don't wanna use a case for it) an upgrade: the phone will still be overall fully functional and usable but i'm pretty sure that many console quality games coming out next year or so will lag on it, and probably software wise don't expect to go further than ICS...also, the lack of optimization within the Android platform makes you need better hardware in order to run the games that will be baked for the A5 chipset, wich is greatly superior to Exynos (about twice as powerful). Long story short this is what i mean: the phone itself won't be outdated soon, but the gaming part will take a severe hit quite soon (imho), because most of the games coming out will be first of all designed for the 4s, so they will obviously look worse on every other phone available at the moment. You will see that already when MC3 will hit the Android market: people will start complaining for the lag and the crappier textures compared to the iPad2/iPhone4s version.

Why do games come out on iOS first? This is pretty self explanatory: when developing a console quality game you have to take full advantage of the hardware of each device the said game will be released for. Doing this for nearly each Android device will be way too expensive for the software houses, and their income wouldn't improve much either: iPhone is still the most sold phone on Earth after all, and all together i'm pretty sure that Apple outsells Android talking about higher end devices, and games are meant mainly for those, so go figure... You also have to take into account that also the software differs quite a lot through androids, and i honestly don't know how well ICS will address this issue, we'll see. Another show stopper for devs is the fact that Android is easily hackable, so it's almost pointless to sell expensive high grade games on it. This said you're still right when you say that iOS is really locked down, but this is actually the price you have to pay for an unmatched software optimization. Oh, and about the iTunes thing, you don't need to buy music from itunes if you have an iPhone, just add the one you have to the library. Also, if you're an audiophile please note that the GS2 is very average (basically it sounds like a mid range phone) as a media player, while the 4s delivers much better sound quality.
[General Questions and Answers] peterdan1506:
the thing about the iphone's tho is that its a really small screen. so when playing mc3 i have 2 squint 2 see. whats the point on having console quality if its only on a small screen?

also, the gs2 has more RAM, double what iphone 4s has, that is another thing that gets me... but u are helping me a make decision.

To be honest, i dont think MC3 on the GS2 will be too much different graphically then it is on iPhone... thats why its not released yet, cos they need 2 optimize it for each and every android device hat is capable of playing it. All the faster GPU does is account for faster rendering, not better textures

i know you dont have 2 purchase music through itunes... but then u NEED a pc or laptop 2 be able 2 add the songs 2 the official music player library and playlists...do you not?
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
Yeah i know, infact i got the GS2 because i wanted a big, badass amoled screen and didn't care too much about games. Audio quality was a big let down to me tho, i was expecting it to sound at least as good as the SGS, which was really boss. Actually i tried to play MC2 on a friend's iPhone a while ago and the screen felt like a joke, but i got big hands, so that might have been just me. I really hope MC3 will be good, but i'm not very optimistic because MC2 was delayed too and was still quite rushed when it came out, and right now the Android version still has poorer textures. But who knows after all: Tintin came out in two different versions, for both high and low end devices, so there might be hope.

Talking about music afaik there isn't a way to load it on an iPhone without a pc, but i'm not really into iOS (as many here) so i'm not sure, maybe you can if you're jailbroken.
[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
None of the above

Quad cores phones (HTC Edge) already made it on the stage, so that means everything dual core and single core will be obsolete or abandoned soon after, probably in a year or two

and there's no such thing as futureproof

when i7 CPU extreme black edition was the top of the line 3~4 years ago, now has been far surpassed by its younger brothers with 12 cores 2 years later (from 8 cores...)

so, just buy what you can afford today, and what you like best today.

if you are not in a hurry to get a new phone, then wait for as long as you can wait before getting a new phone, because 3 months down the row, a new and better phone is waiting for you

My example

i switched phone provider, i needed a new phone, there was nothing decent at the time, i was forced to pick up the Nexus S with all its downside

so now that the SGS2 finally made its way, i switched to it right away, because that's the phone that can actually accomplish what i needed to do

but say for example if the Nexus S was able to meet all my needs, i wouldn't have bothered to upgrade to the SGS2, i'd probably have waited for Nexus 4 or SGS3 before getting a new phone

so it all comes down to your needs, and what you want to do with it, and if the phone is able to do what you want
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
@AllGamer: i agree, but we must not forget that it's not just a matter of hardware: most games still run better on an old as **** 3gs rather on the latest Android superphone. If the software (games or whatever) isn't optimized all the cores in the world won't make our gaming experience better, and this is especially true on a mobile platform.
[General Questions and Answers] peterdan1506:
lol its funny how ppl think old android devices will become obsolete. as th guy under all gamer.stated they still optimize games for older phones. my brother has a htc legend and most of the games are playable on that still through optimization and besides if needed u can overclock android devices cpu and gpu.

With that being said. Do ppl think games will still be made and optimized for dual devices like the

gs2?? As it would still be a very capable phone? Im new to android so what are peoples experience with past android game compatibility with phones??
[General Questions and Answers] uziloza:
i would go with the sg2... i will give advantage to the android system in general... even now it show its supremacy over iOS... and with no doubt it will become better :)
[General Questions and Answers] Killbynature:
Well simply the iphone im a android fan at heart. But even I know the apple has the best reselling value for devices period. By the time the new iphone 5 comes out most people would of sold their iphone 4 or 4s by then to get it. You can get unreasonable amount of money for devices which are last gen on various selling sites.
[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
games that works in one phone will not work on another

mainly due Tegra, Exynos/Hummingbird, Qualcomm

then it comes the RAM sizes

so it's up to the game developer to provide support or not for their games

good example

Gameloft said they will no longer update Dungeon Hunter 1, which i paid for, but is not compatible with newer phone

other typical example Tegra games will not run on non tegras phones

some games are only available in certain models, some other are available in all, so it really depends on which games you plan to play, or might play in the future
[General Questions and Answers] orgwizard:
depends

I think hardware wise, you're better with the android phone....

is you want to keep up with software, the iphone.

as an owner, for a year now, of a SGS1, and having it abandoned, if you're ok with the software that comes on it possibly being the only os update you get, and nearly no luck of them quickly releasing patches for bugs, then the SGS would be ok...

I'm not a big iFan, so am a little biased, but am jealous of the control apple has over their software updates...with the Iphone, you'll likely get fairly quick bug fixes pushed to your phone, and good chance your phone will get the next 1 or 2 os updates apple releases.

I think with the SGS, you'll be better with the larger screen...as I think phones are trending that way...and the more memory..and of course you get the future speed bumps as the carrier's 4g (3g+) tech gets updated and expanded....

personally...ny next phone is the nexus prime. updates straight from google, in a timely manner, and many of the specs similar to the sgs2.

just my 2 cents

The upside to this is that HTML 5 browsers will be better then flash. HTML 5 om paper is more robust for web service applications. Something you cannot do with pure flash it needs AIR support. They will go to support AIR apps. Security features will be fixed. Nothing really will be changed. Only the engines behind it. Apps out currenly supporting flash will be the same and as hardware gets more powerful it becomes less of an issue.

Can we as users see a difference, nope. A new standard is in the wings, HTML 5. And it's ready to fly.
