[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
I think you're talking about my video:

I'm using a Dell mouse in that video though, the much nicer one that comes with the Logitech keyboard doesn't map the menu key to the scroll wheel button like it does on most others (it works fine otherwise though). The Dell one is dead cheap on Ebay.

I'm surprised the Apple keyboard isn't working, as mentioned it works perfectly with the SII (and the Galaxy S for that matter). I wonder what Samsung have done to the BT stack or kernel that makes it incompatible here?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berto_Z:
Hi,

I just flashed my DesireZ with the Cyanogenmod7.1.

What I'm asking for is the possibility of typing accented letters as I did with the stock rom by pressing FN+Spacebar after I typed the letter which has to be accented.

Example: to type "è" this is what I did: e + fn + spacebar.

The same for "à", "ò","ì", "ù"...

It seems weird, but as I'm italian, I need to write a lot of accents and the method by longpressing a button takes just too much time :)

TIA

ps: cool anti-noob video :D

EDIT:

I've found many threads in this and other forums about the remapping of the hardware keyboard. It seems that the combination vowel+fn+space to type an accented vowel doesn't have anything to do with the keyboard layout/map.

It seems that this calls a function... Well, this works only on sense-based roms. Is there any possibility of having this on another rom, for example on CM7?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] techgeek81:
Guys,

I'm having some issues with my i9000 galaxy s with the stock jvt rom (flashed via KIES). I recently started using a bluetooth headset (jabra easygo) with my phone and whenever i end a call while using the headset (whether its an outbound call or incoming call) i get the phone.apk force close and phone take a moment to get reception back.

That is not new, i used to get force closes before also when i had data enabled and a call came in, at the end of which i would get the phone.apk force close.

But with the bluetooth headset, the bigger problem is after the FC once the phone has got reception back, although it still shows the bluetooth headset as paired in the notfication bar, the headset is not paired. Regardless of whether i turn bluetooh off and back on, it still shows as the headset as paired in the notification area and wont pair even when pressing connect in the bluetooth settings menu on the phone.

If i turn phone's bluetooth off and back on more than once and try to pair the phone and headset, the phone's screen goes black and i hear the boot up animation music after a second, but the screen is still blank. The phone's touch sensitive buttons light up if touched during this time, but the phone takes a while to boot back up. And the screen only comes back on, on repeatedly pressing the power key during this time, and that too, in stages, like the notification area shows up, but the rest of the screen is blank at first then it appears after about 6 seconds or so.

Can anyone help me figure out why exactly this happens, and how to fix it. I never had this problem with JVO. My phone is a UK unlocked version btw.

Sorry for the long post :)

Do ROMs/kernels/etc made for the ST18i also work for the ST18a?

Or does the fact that the ST18a has different UMTS bands (850/1900/2100) mean that development for the ST18i is not compatible with the ST18a?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aadud:
I have ST18a installed with fxp kernel and MIUI rom, everything works fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phositadc:
Thanks for the info.

Are you using it on AT&T in the US? If so, are your HSPA speeds using fxp/MIUI as fast as they were on the stock rom?

My concern is that since HSPA on the ST18i is 900/2100, which is different from the ST18a, that the phone will appear to be fully functioning but that my HSPA actually will not be working.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojorisin7178:
Hi I am going to be rooting this phone soon but before I do I want to make sure I fully understand everything I do because I am nosey and this is how I learn. So I ask alot of questions usually NOOB questions.

So As I understand it All I have to do is install a custom kernel which has clockworkmod on it. Now when I do that is CWM installed on the recovery partition of the phone so if all else fails I can still get into CWM to install a backup? I know if you use rom manager it fake flashes and the only way to get into CWM is through rom manager and mif the phone wont boot you are screwd. Also this phone has download mode is that a factory way to flash things? Like when I install a ROM do I flash it in download mode or do I flash it in Clockworkmod or do both work? Also I noticed that there are different versions of this phone I am guessing for different carriers. I have SGHt-989 so are all ropms okay for all the model or are they model specific? It seems that the 9100 is the most popular model. I am sorry for all the questions but as soon as I am comfortable with this device I can start to understand it.

Thanks alot

Charlie
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
To root your T-mobile SGS2, watch this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfA1KKzXkFU

Rom manager only does fake flashes. Only way to get cwm on our phone is via flashing a kernel that supports it.

Download mode can be used for first time rooting (to flash kernels), also for flashing roms via odin.

Once you're rooted, with a cwm supported kernel, you can use the clockwork recovery to flash roms, or even kernels. This way, it deosn't increase your binary counter.

i9100 is more popular because it is the international model and most common.

I don't use any of them.I used before but i don't saw too much help.Just task killer use cpu more and load ram.I use now just a shortcut of standard runing services default from android.
[General Questions and Answers] Killbynature:
Don't use task Killers. Android has its own built in task manager Which works far better than 3rd party task killers. All you doing is making android reload everything again. Then you wonder why this app doesn't update in the background or work properly it is your fault. Your killing off the processes. Ram is essentially useless in android if it's not being used.

If you have lets say most phones have 512-1gig of ram. Your phone will never say you have 512 ram full please free up ram. It gets to a certain memory limit like depending on what it was set to and then end the processes automatically by itself. If there are many processes running android will start swapping out processes to replace for the new one. When your playing a game and say oh i want to browse the web to check on some game codes or whatever you can go right back to the game.

What if you want to listen to your own music as well. You can then go right back to the game in the exact spot left off. But if you go I'm kill the game process off you won't be able to do that. Don't press that Clear ram in that task manager you have either. All process will be killed including google services. Which will be reloaded again as well as system processes. Everytime android needs to reload its using more power meaning worst battery life.

The only time you should use a task manager is when there is a rogue application or a memory leak.

[General Questions and Answers] PersianSphinx:
i dont like task killers, if your really desperate for ram and use android, i recommend using the v6 supercharger script made by zeppelinrox. ofcourse the thread can be found here in xda. Iwouldnt recommend task killers for several reasons:

1 they take some ram space themselves

2 they use some cpu thus making ur phone slower

3 they use some cpu thus draining your battery faster

4 they make your boot time on your phone longer because they are being loaded whereas scripts dont have that issue :)

5 i havent actually seen any propper task manager that has like autokill option and woks properly so you constantly have to press the end tasks button (like on system panel for example) and thats quite boring if your doing it all the time... scripts dont have that issue :)
[General Questions and Answers] exileinoblivion7:
Great job explaining this man, I've been aware that killing apps just makes them restart. I really only kill apps if they are acting a fool.

And to clear things up I don't have a task killer installed, however I do use the one built into the go launcher app drawer to kill apps that go nuts.

I have used the v6 script before, however I recently downloaded Rom toolbox and it let's you adjust minfrees from there. You guys should check it out

[General Questions and Answers] Akulamenuri:
Task killers are good when you see a rogue app that is draining a ton of your battery life but aren't good when you use the "Kill All" button. As long as their are poorly developed applications, there will be a use for task killers.
[General Questions and Answers] Falkner09:
some people will tell you not to use task killers because it inhbits Android's normal functioning by interfering with RAm use, causes things to go wrong, running apps don't use battery, blah blah blah. but there are a few problems with these claims.

First, Android's RAM management is not flawless. no Operating system is. fanboys keep claiming it is yet offer no support for whether a 3rd party task killer is better or worse. in fact, they were all claiming this when Froyo was the latest. but then when Gingerbread came out, one of its new features was better RAM management, which fanboys around the internet praised it for, which means there had, in fact, been room for improvement, which they had been denying for quite some time.

second. there are around 500,000 apps on the market. some are flawed, causing RAM leaks and various other malfunctions that ANdroid can't always handle. a task killer is your best, and sometimes only option in this situation, as you might not reasonably have the option of deleting the app permanently.

third, battery life. it may be true that apps simply being running in the background alone doesn't use battery; I'm not sure. yet what fanboys routinely ignore is, many of these apps don't just sit there waiting to be turned on again. some of them turn on so as to collect user data about all sorts of things, then broadcast it to the developer for various uses. this broadcasting uses your phone's radio even when in the background, and that DOES use electricity - from your battery, not to mention data if you have a limited plan. a very large amount of apps do this, which is one major reason why ICS now includes a data management menu that monitors all apps' data usage, as well as a built in app freezer that stops apps from running until you allow them to again.
[General Questions and Answers] rail205:
I use the one that comes stock, and alathough it frees up ram I dont notice any difference in battery drain (1% per hour) or any difference in performance
[General Questions and Answers] johnston9234:
Could you please explain what third party task killers do that the Android system manager doesnt do natively?
[General Questions and Answers] Akulamenuri:
From my personal experience it doesn't kill some rogue apps that drain my phone's battery life. Occasionally I use the app "GPS Status" to help find my location faster and if I don't immediately kill the app after my location is locked, the app shoots up to 30-40% on Battery Status.
[General Questions and Answers] Falkner09:
work responsively, to start with. every time i've tried to open the application manager on android, I first have to go through all the sub menus to get to it, then sit and wait for it to slooooooooooowly load up the list on installed apps, then running apps, then click on the app, then wait for it to load that particular app's info, THEN I can force close it.

two, they often catch apps running that the default manager doesn't notice, I presume because their developers code them to be hidden somehow.

so yeah, they're occasionally a valid option to use.
[General Questions and Answers] cr0sswind:
I'm happy with or without task killer :))
[General Questions and Answers] Phateless:
I don't use task killers because Zinx, Faux, and Kmobs say not to and they wrote the damn roms and kernels we use.

In cm7 there's an option to kill an app via long press of back button. I think it's in development settings under applications settings.

That should do it for most people.

Task killers are crap. If you're that worried about your RAM usage, download Autokiller Memory Optimizer (which is not a task killer btw)

Hello there,

I bought Samsung's MHL to HDMI Adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MHL-HDMI-Adapter-Packaging/dp/B005LGUDKK/ref=pd_cp_cps_1) for my at&t SGS2, video and audio worked on my HDTV without hassle, but it did not actually charge phone's battery. when it was hooked up it kept 'rising bar' on battery icon in notification area and I was under impression it's truly charging as well playing the video on my TV, but it showed 30% batter warning that's when I realized it's not charging but faking to show charging!

Is is normal or abnormal, but I read in wiki or somewhere when it's hooked on MHL to HDMI Adapter/dongle SSGS2's designed to charge the battery as well, I need to your help to determine if I have a faulty one or I should turn on/off anything on phone!

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
It will only charge your phone if the TV is a MHL compliant TV. I don't think any TVs on the market are compliant yet.

There should be a spot on the adapter to plug your charger into. That is the solution for non-compliant TVs. Did you plug your charger into the adapter?

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Thanks quarlow for quick reply. Yes I indeed plugged the charger into Adapter in order for it to work, that worked flawlessly, but the question is why the battery icon on my phone was showing 'charging bar' while it was not actually charging, that's mysterious.

My TV may be not MHL complaint as it's 2 yrs old already, but MHL complaint TV's don't need the MHL adapter be powered by external chargers, if I am right.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TXFLGO05:
I too have an MHL adapter but it isn't the official "Samsung" one, but it will charge the phone overnight, but I've never left the device plugged into a tv and the adapter for an extended period of time.

I imagine that the adapter needs to draw power to send an image out to the TV, and the phone simply assumes that a charger is plugged in but rather than actually getting a charge the power is being diverted into the MHL adapter, and maybe a little bit is going to the phone but not enough to offset the drain of displaying an image on an HDTV.

I'll give it a test drive tonight and see if I get any different results, but I bet I have the same result.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Much appreciated !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shamelin73:
From what I can tell the stock charger is only 700MA and will charge the phone slowly when not in use, however if it is inuse I am sure it will only be able to keep up with the power used.

I use an HTC charger most of the time it is a 1000MA charger and seems to be a bit faster. I have not tried this with the MHL connector tho.
