[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
It's over: Media Scanner sucks.

As of KI4, still has bugs:

- stores album name, in Genre (m4a)

- cannot read properly album arts (m4a)

I'm seriuosly thinking about customizing Media Scanner.

Questions:

- Are Samsung Android's sources available?

- What would it take to customize the media scanner?

-
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
............Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
I would love that too.... for me I just want the Media Scanner to be able to point to certain folders only, not the whole SD card, in that way it will be even faster...

I do not know where to start... but if anyone can point out the apks for media scanner or how to find which apks are used, maybe I can decompile and see if there are few values to be alter and it works !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakinos:
just add a .nomedia file to any directory you don't want scanned.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willuz:
I don't want to cancel ALL media scanning for a folder. For instance, music folders that have album art should index the MP3 files but not the image files. If .NOMEDIA allowed me to specify the type of media to skip this would be ok, but excluding the images also excludes the music.

Personally, I would much rather just specify certain folders for each type of media. While I've seen this opinion expressed countless times, I have yet to see any workable options so I'm eager to hear any recommendations.

Hi all, i recently updated to the new CM7 (V7.1.0.1 (10 Oct 2011)). After updating i can not receive MMS.

I can send them, but when i try to send one to my self, or some one trys to sent one to me, i get the header, and a button marked "Download" i press the button, and after about 2 minutes i get an error flash up says that my MMS failed to download.

I can still send and receive them on another phone with the same sim so i know its not network related. I have run out of things to try. Any Suggestions??

Thanx in advance.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautamason:
My guess is that the update messed up your APN settings. I had the same problem after flashing a new ROM, and it turned out that the MMS-port setup was wrong. I found the correct port on my carriers site and just added them manually.

I hope it works out for you...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cniDXDinc:
I've had my DInc since it came out, always had the facebook app on it. About 6 months ago-ish the contacts that are synced with facebook have a + 1 in front of the contact and if I try to call them I get a fast busy or network error message. I have take that +1 out from infront of the number before I dial to connect. I've went into settings and selected to not have this code put in front of my numbers. I edit the contact card, and the +1 keeps returning. I've also turned off the sync option but want to have it because there are numbers I don't have and the pictures help in quickly determining who is calling in. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Currently rooted running Synergy Mod. Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellbringer616:
I've seen this issue a lot, and i guess i'm just lucky or something, But if i call or text someone with the +1 i don't get any issues.

ROM maybe? I'm using Stock +

[Xperia Arc General] xperiax10.awesome:
Hi Guys,

I received an update for 4.0.2.A.0.42, its getting downloaded successfully (OTA) but when I am installing its giving me error "Could Not Install" (after installation process & restart)

I am currently using rooted device with following details:
[Xperia Arc General] tomasius:
Same here..
[Xperia Arc General] freeoscar84@hotmail.com:
Same here uk generic
[Xperia Arc General] stereovision:
i had the same problem, ended up flashing it using flash tool. couldnt get OTA to work
[Xperia Arc General] ZyxeLa:
If you removed some bloatware apps, OTA update will not works... Instal removed apps and then try again :)
[Xperia Arc General] xperiax10.awesome:
Thats too much of a pain man...there must be some or atleast how to just skip this update?

I just dont wanna see that update notification all the time!!
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Use the flashtool. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] ceppone:
Confirmed, i had the same problem (removed let's golf and other junk) and after replaced everything the update worked ;)

Then i removed the bad stuff again :D
[Xperia Arc General] xperiax10.awesome:
just try to find out how to SKIP this update..

sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
[Xperia Arc General] hush66:
Update via SEUS and then root using DooMLorD's tool.
[Xperia Arc General] h.debnath:
I tried restoring the bloatware I removed back onto the ARC but still the update did not work but whatever, .42 is no different from .283 so there is no loss.

Also if you want to remove the notification from the status bar just uninstall the Update Center app (backup first of coarse) then reinstall it again and it'll be gone.
[Xperia Arc General] xperiax10.awesome:
Did the same :-) thanks..
[Xperia Arc General] adil1992:
i have the same issue but i haven't removed any sony bloatware, using LT15i anyone have a link to manually flash this?
[Xperia Arc General] Kifsito:
Has anyone identified which bloatware apps are the ones the update needs?

When i deleted my bloatware i deleted it permanently as i was sure didnt want to see it again... ever.

I didnt do backups, so im screwed i guess haha:p
[Xperia Arc General] freeoscar84@hotmail.com:
Any solution???
[Xperia Arc General] Boywunda44:
I had flashed to the World Generic 4.0.2.A.0.283, so I could have a rooted 2.3.4. I didn't remove any bloatware. Now I want the new .42, but it also wont' install OTA. And I'd rather not flash it and lose my data again.

Is there no other way to update to .42 and NOT lose my data? Without having to back up? I have my home screens set up the way I want, don't want to lose my text message logs either.

Also if I do decide to flash, is there a Rogers 2.3.4 and 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware out there? That works with Root?

Edit: In the Namaste guide it states the following:

Ques – I am still not ready to unlock my bootloader. So guide me how to perform rooting on my locked Xperia Arc.

Don’t worry. XDA’s big brains have developed something called a FLASHTOOL. It will help you getting a rooted 2.3.4.

1. Go to Jozinek’s post on [ROM]Generic LT15i (Arc) 4.0.2.A.0.42 (1247-1041) (Android 2.3.4) and follow the link named ‘http://multiupload.com/xxxx’ to download official SE world firmware/ROM. Unzip the file and save the LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf file in a folder.

2. Go to Androxyde’s post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 and download the latest version (0.4.1.0) of flashtool.

3. Run the autoextractor in a folder.

4. Download LT15.rar file (attached to this post below) and copy "LT15.sin" to "loaders" folder in flashtool. You can skip this step safely.

5. Copy your “LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf” in the "firmwares" folder.

6. Run X10Flashtool.exe (as administrator in case you are working on windows 7/Vista).

7. Follow steps in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keo61Zffh5Q to flash the LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware on your phone. The video asks you to download firmware and flashtool, keep in mind that you already did that in steps 1-6 above.

8. After flashing, restart phone and check your Android version, you will be on 2.3.4.

9. Now go to ‘settings’, ‘Applications’ and tap ‘Development’. Tap ‘Unknown sources’ and ‘USB debugging’ to tick on them.

10. Connect the phone (in running state) back to the computer in media transfer mode. Flashtool should detect your phone now. Press the root button on top left side of flashtool and wait(just a button tap and you are done) to root your phone on latest 2.3.4 firmware.

11. Similarly, install superuser and busybox via flashtool. The phone should now be running a rooted 2.3.4.

Can someone confirm that updating to that new firmware using the flashtool that I won't lose my current data or settings?
[Xperia Arc General] mixterz:
same here removed a few of the bloatware and the update seems to crash on the second blue update status light.
[Motorola Atrix 2] spielnicht:
FUDGE! Atrix 2 seems to suffer from the same issue my OG Atrix did - not picking up a signal after loosing it completely.

Every time I walk into a local Wegmans, the signal disappears completely. You'd think when I leave and go back into an area with a strong signal the phone would pick it up again...NO. My wife's iPhone has no issues with this, neither did my Nexus One. But both OG Atrix and Atrix 2 NEVER pick up a signal unless I go into flight mode and out. This is such BS.

I'm going to go play with an HTC Vivid today to see if I like it enough to trade...even though I ABHOR Sense.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
The vivid is a massive disappointment. HTC really dropped the ball with it.

[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Hi Brothers,

Yesterday i accidentally dropped my new sensation in water. I cannot wait for a long time to dry so i decided to heat it with air heater for 3 times. then i put the battery back the screen on but it was flickering i suddenly remove the battery and wait for it for half an hour. then i put the battery back. Now the screen is dim only i can see a little bit when room light is off.

I didn't touch my phone up till now.

Plz give me some suggestion what should i do and whats happened to the screen.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
The key to fixing a soaked phone, any phone, is:

1) Never turn on the phone if you suspect water got in

2) Take out the battery immediately

3) Strip the phone as much as you can and let it sit in a container of uncooked rice or silica gel (must be filled & air tight)

4) Wait 3 days

5) Clean, assemble phone back together

6) Profit

7) ???
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Ok Ok but what now
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
So you're screen is lit up but your phone doesn't boot?
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
The phone already busted!! :D time to buy new phone..lol
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
You weren't patient enough. Sorry,but the phone is fubared, and its only your fault.
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
It is Repairable or not???
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Every thing is ok....the phone is rebooting and touch is working only the problem is dim light
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
i think perhaps if you're lucky, only the screen is damaged, if that's the case, simply replace the lcd screen
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
Take your phone to your local repair shop. You might find something else spoiled if u just changed the lcd screen.
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Thanks Dude,

I just saw a video on youtube they showup the replacement but iam a little bit affraid to try.

I also found the new screen

http://www.smartphonebay.net/LCD-Screen-for-HTC-Sensation-4G-p/lcdp-htz710.htm

May need your confirmation,,,
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
We don't have HTC Repair centre over here.....
[HTC Sensation] SleemLDJ:
I would say u soak in in a bowl of uncooked rice for a few days. dont connect it to the charger and dont take it out of the bowl

also remove the battery and separetly put it in a bowl

if that doesnt fix it, you probably are looking at getting your screen replaced.
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Thank you let try this first.........what should it really do?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
It will absorb water trapped in your phone via evaporation. Better yet is to get the stuff meant for humidity control that you put in moist rooms...I believe this is Calcium Sulphate. (CaSO4) It should be much better than rice and is available at grocery stores and home improvement stores.

[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Ok...i will search for it in the market. but i have doubt it may work.because this procedure must be first than putting the battery in phone when it was first time sink in water

I mean to say as i already put the battery back in phone when it was sink and dry and the screen became dim
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
It is now the fourth day of it inside the rice bowl. So i took it out and try it but the result is the same dim screen... What should now????
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Well, unless you have insurance, you are out of luck. I would look into repair centers that may be able to fix it.

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Ouch! $53.00 just to LOOK at it?!

Sounds like you may be heading for a costly repair.(and big headache with all the shipping and customs crap) Another idea is to sell it as water damaged but partially working. Someone that knows how to fix them themselves may want to buy it from you. You could then use the money to put toward buying a new one.

A final idea would be to ASSUME it is the screen. Get a new digitizer and fix it yourself. (videos on the web show it being done). If this doesnt solve the problem, I would sell it for parts and save for a new one. I dont think I would give HTC all that $$$ and then wait for ages to get it back. (Or, HOPE to get it back AND working) Sounds like you will pay a minimum of $100.00 just to have HTC have a look at it. (Their FEE plus shipping both ways). I would go the self-fix method with a new digitizer.

EDIT:Not digitizer, LCD.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
I am a little bad afraid of doing it by myself and that is because of my early SE X1i which i open for the malfunctioning of slide keyboard and the screen (when i slide out the keyboard the screen will turn off).

As i open the SE X1i by watching a video on web some small parts jump out at early phase and i never found these two small micro-creature and the problem remains in re fixing.

Now i have doubt to try on this one again or go for a repair in local repair centres(may they make more problem)?
[HTC Sensation] wakaru_ken:
Same un-lucky incident...

Hi, I've been experiencing the same problem as my HTC Sensation accidentally dropped into a water basin. I've manage to take it out from the water fast enough and open the casing and only saw that very small amount of water had gone in to the phone main board. My mistake that I didn't take out the battery and check if it still alive. It seems ok and all the functions were good but I could saw some kind of liquid pattern on the LCD and my LCD is flickering. So, I've shut it off and pull out the battery and begin to blow my phone with the hair dryer for more than 30 minutes...and wait.

Put the battery on again, test the LCD and seems that the liquid pattern in the LCD gone but still could see some of it remains. LCD still flickering, so I've put my phone on sleep for 1 hour or so...it seems no more flickering or maybe I've didn't notice...however my LCD is a bit dim than normal, below of the LCD is brighter that normal and to make it worse, the liquid pattern is some how moving and growing like it was alive....

So, can anyone give some suggestion on what to do...

Does the uncooked rice do the trick to remove the liquid pattern.

Any suggestion or comment needed...Thanks.

Sample picture that I've taken to show the problem that I'm facing..
[HTC Sensation] MrMessi10:
Do the uncooked rice trick, maybe it'll help!
[HTC Sensation] wakaru_ken:
I've already done that but still no go.

Anyway luckily that the water inside my lcd just cleared and dried by itself.

Although there's a permanent damage on the screen, but it survive and can be use.

However my warranty still void due to the litmus like sticker inside my HTC Sensation already change to red colour from white although not changing inside the battery compartment.

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] OneOneSix:
I'm afraid its too late, never power up a wet electronic until the water is completely removed by one of the methods mentioned earlier in this thread. Your best option is to sell the phone on eBay as is and use that money towards getting a new one.

Wow...just got hit with the Throttle. I've only used 6 gigs (had iphone before) this billing cycle and my brand new LTE Skyrocket (which was getting around 58mbps in Tyson's Corner) is now getting about 100kbps. This is some straight BS. My contract is only a week old, so thinking of returning this phone and switching. Whats the point of having unlimited if you can't use it.

Edit:

This is what has been working for me to "bypass" the throttle. It at least gets me HSPA+ speeds.

The APN settings are:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] opencipher:
Nope. Standard. Been streaming a lot of netflix..slingbox..etc. They sent me a text warning yesterday to watch my usage or I could have reduced speeds and then throttled me the next day. Didn't even give me a chance to change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rlzu:
I know exactly what you mean about the throttling. I'm actually here in DC as well (Arlington) and use the Skyrocket and it ate up 500 MB!

Tried loading of all sitesTwitter and got a message. "Rate limit exceeded."

I'm on a 4 GB plan so watching the data usage really closely.

Have you tried switching to one of the lower grade signals? I've been having trouble doing that since it looks like the LTE radio is locked tight and can't be changed at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] k0nane:
On LTE, you can use 2gb of data in 20 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jbsg02:
Ugh that sucks man, they should really relax those rules for us LTE users. Why give customers all that bandwidth only to keep the same rules as their slow 3G network? Doesn't make much sense to me

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xAnimal5:
Wow damn, surprised that they haven't throttled me. View attachment 779413
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tpham08901:
Throttling was put in effect to limit us who are grandfathered into the unlimited plans. The only way to stop it is to switch to one of the tiered plans...which no one should do obviously.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jbsg02:
I think that 2GB limit is absurb for LTE users. You really could blow through that in a matter of days with regular use (or minutes if you really wanted to)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] opencipher:
I'm gonna call in and complain, though I'm not sure it will do much. I mean 6 gigs isn't anything. I've got 10 days left in this cycle so more than likely I will only use 3-4 more gigs. Plus I'm still within i'm time to cancel my contract. We'll see how this goes. One of my biggest gripes is that they gave me ONE DAY WARNING!!! I mean, ok I get it, but send me a text and then throttle me the next day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] F2a:
Wow, this is depressing. I don't want to switch from AT&T for the sole reason that I have unlimited data. I'm going to see what happens in the near future and maybe just say **** it and switch. No point in staying for unlimited if it isn't unlimited.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AllGamer:
Tmobile is "unlimited" but you still get throttled as well

so there's no point switching

no carriers will offer true unlimited now in days
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] F2a:
I know, sad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] propsizzle:
if there is any benefit, throttling is better than reverting you to a tiered plan...

either way, it sucks. it is disappointing that wireless networks are getting so advanced that their speeds rival home connections... and yet, carriers hamstring us so we can barely take advantage of these speeds.
