A simple case should solve this problem. Not an excuse, nor an apology, by any means but since Samsung can't learn from it's mistakes it'll have to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Pretty much every phone does this. Are we seriously making this thread right now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GiveMe2Beers:
With my GS2 I've tried different cases (Casemate, silicon ones etc.) but this solved very very little the wifi issue.

It's sad because at work I need wifi as hell, and I was the only one among my colleagues (TBH another one with a HTC Sensation has similar problem using it landscape mode) that has no wifi signal.

Cannot spend 500£ to have such a poor wifi :(

Nope.

We can wait 2-3 days if you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPhilo:
Sorry but I don't see any wifi problem on my GS2. I even tried holding it at a ridiculous way and im still getting strong bars.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes, actually. Phones have antennas they use for WiFi, 3G, 2G, etc.. Covering antennas lowers their ability to transmit and receive. So nearly all phones will have this issue. Crazy idea... Where do you propose they put the antennas so that they transmit properly? do you want pull-out or rubber antennas again?

No need to be a ****.

None of my phones ever had this. I travel alot and I'm giving up one of my phones (always had a Verizon blackberry and some GSM Smartphone) but I can't go solo with a phone with spotty wifi.

I know this is a really noob question, but I still don't know how to do that. Can you tell me a step-by-step tutorial? I want to enable swappiness in my soft-mod, because some users made a request for that.

How to enable swap in the first place or just swappiness?

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

well if you want to enable swap (you dont have a swap partition on the sdcard)

follow this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317362

if you have a swap partition and just want to change the swappiness

things needed

1.root explorer

2.a rom that supports init.d boot scripts

(i will be using swiftdroid as a example)

1.first go to /system/etc/init.d

2.remount system as r/w

3.open 07swapon in text Editor

4.go to the line echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

5.change 60 to what ever number you want many people say around 45 will do(the higher the number the more swap memory will be used)

6.save and exit
[GT540 Optimus General] fdespotovski:
Thank you! I will try both methods.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stre67:
Hi, We have installed ES File Explorer on our Android tablet and we have cataloged a remote server (10.10.19.45). I am able to see the files on this server from the tablet.

On a different desktop project, I have used a java.nio class file to copy files from a local folder on the desktop to the same remote server and it has been working fine. I tried to use the same java class to copy a file from the Android /sdcard/Download directory to the remote server and it will not create the file on the remote server. I tried specifying

File DestinationFile = new File("//10.10.19.45/sandbox/result.txt"); AND

File DestinationFile = new File("smb://10.10.19.45/sandbox/result.txt");

but neither one works. I keep getting the error "IOException: No such File or Directory". The first option worked for my regular desktop Java application. Is there anyway I can copy files from my sdcard/download directory to the samba directory I have catalogued on my Android? Thanks.

Which launcer is the best for our android phone? Both performance and style wise?

-SPB 3D

-Launcher Pro

-Tw Launcher

Roms:

Last time I flashed a room was to my unrooted Galaxy S2, and it was with (then freshly released) 2.3.5 Frankenstein ROM. Now I find it to be to laggy and want to change to a better performance one. Am even considering overclocking.

Which up-to-date ROM is recommended for Speed & Performance?

Also for other newbies reading this thread that might be interested in battery life instead:

Roms recommended for battery saving?

ROOT:

Root technique? Is this one preferred

http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2/

(seems easy to follow compared to some threads on how to root on here)

ISC Release:

I really want to root my phone but considering that ISC will be released for my Galaxy S2, I don’t know if it’s worth it since it might wipe my phone and my rooting will be gone. Is it worth it to root now considering I really don’t know when ISC will be released?

I will be greatly appreciative of the one answering my questions, and fellow newbies will hopefully be too.

My Phone’s Current Info (want to be sure that my phone doesn’t have some wrong rom installed before I root)

Launchers: Everyone's taste is different.

Roms: Everyone's taste is different.

Root: Everyone's taste is different, but this is probably more straightforward than the one you linked (you might be noticing a pattern in my answers).

ICS: Are you for real?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiTi9:
So what you're saying is that everyones taste is different?

Of course I understand that everyones taste is different when it comes to the launchers, thats why I asked which one do YOU recommend. Don't feel like downloading them all.

When it comes to roms though, how can you say everyone's taste is different. I asked which ROMS have the fastest results (quadrant score) and lags the least. That has nothing to do with that everyones taste is different
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
The point being with everyone's taste being different is that regardless of what we recommend, you are still going to keep on switching based on the opinions, hence there is no difference between us telling you what is best, to you finding what is best, you're still going to experiment. Anyways I prefer tw.

Rom? I don't know. Really i could care less about benchmarks, I could cheat off one to make my phone look like god and yours a piece of crap, and at the end of the day, they still run the same. Frankly they are all the same to me, no difference in speed, etc, just a different UI. It's not hard to try a couple and compare, try it. Unless spending a couple of bandwidth downloading roms and sitting down and trying a a rom for an hour is totally a workout for you then I see no reason for this thread.

Root? Does it matter? If you can read and understand it shouldn't matter which technique unless you are in some ways mentally deficient. There is nothing big to rooting, you only need to be able to read.

ICS? That isn't even going to come out officially anytime next month or so. Maybe next year, but not this year. So if a couple of months is a short time to you, then please, don't flash a custom rom and wait a couple of months for the iCS release.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sixstringsg:
So first of all, this is an idea in it's baby stages. I want input, and if people think it will work. So here's my idea:

I don't know how many of you have seen the build specs of ICS, but I know one guy that couldn't compile for lack of RAM, and he had 12Gb. So what I'm thinking, is for kernel developers, have a community server.

Specs:

4x 2(HT)x 2.66+ GHz processor,

24Gb of RAM,

2Tb of HDD space,

Gigabit connection.

I am looking for developers interested. You would have to show me some of your work, and it will cost some. I am looking at renting it for six months or a year, so depending on how many people are interested will depend on price. Let me know your ideas, if you think it will work, if you're interested, etc.

2 days sounds good. OnDemand works better for me like 5%+ but you need to tweak all the levels after VSEL to see some differences. Try asking, searching for a thread where they tweak all the levels and it's reported to give a boost.

[Focus General] Sierra76:
I just got my Samsung Focus updated with a mysterious "samsung update for windows phone". Does anyone knows what does it brought?

This is what changed in my settings > about:

Radio software revision 2124.11.8.1 > 2124.11.9.3

Firmware revision 2124.11.8.1 > 2124.11.9.4

It was patching for about 15minutes, Zune even did a whole system backup, seem to be important.
[Focus General] rjohnstone:
Most likely the update to allow internet sharing (WiFi hotspot).

MS did say the WiFi stack needed to be updated to allow it to function properly.

I have the old firmware/radio and internet sharing works fine. Maybe this will improve it.

Which Carrier On You ON? Which HW Revision?
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
I believe he's on 1.4 as Samsung Support told me that the ending number in the first part of the firmware also tells revision.

For instance, the firmware on my 1.3 Focus is: 2103.11.8.1
[Focus General] hossiam:
I have the same info, just updated. I got my ChevronWP7 token and unlocked yesterday and enabled internet sharing myself. Maybe it has something to do with that.

[Focus General] pbj85:
I also got this update on my Rogers Focus...I am wondering if it enabled internet sharing or not.

I can't be sure since I already had enabled it.

However, I have Wifi issues since enabling/using the internet sharing...it seems to have messed up the phones ability to switch between wifi and 3G so when they are both activated my data will 'stall' until i turn off either wifi or 3g.

Hopefully a non-hacked user can tell us if this update brought tethering...then maybe I'll flash my phone and not unlock it...I only unlocked to get tethering.
[Focus General] rjohnstone:
I'm on a 1.3 AT&T Focus with Rogers firmware, chevron unlocked and SIM unlocked.

[Focus General] fenrir26:
Just got the update, SIM and Chevron unlocked Rogers Focus. Nothing seems to have changed aside from the phone being a little more snappy. I did notice with the registry that in HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class the removable option is 1 instead of 0 for both the main folder and the high capacity folder. If I remember right those were 0 before. I may be mixing that up with the MMC class folder though.
[Focus General] Sierra76:
Finaly got 3G, the problem was my current location, when I went to the center of my city all was fine, 3G icon showed, 3G+ for a split second even :)

No interop unlock although I was about to do it.

Got the notification today, installed, no new apps or internet sharing.

i believe your mistaken here. im on 1.3 and i got the same fw numbers as him, as for now i still cant figure out whats the update for since i still dont see internet sharing so this updates not for that, but maybe compass will work now?

Been waiting since the ipad1 for an HD tablet...this might just be what I'm looking for. Can't post links yet, just google Acer Iconia 700.
[Kindle Fire General] EvanWasHere:
My experience: I have an iPad1, iPad2, HP Touchpad, and three Archos 5" Android tablets... So not too much of a n00b.

Keyboard: The keyboard doesn’t always work for me.. When I first got it, every time I hit the spacebar, it would automatically go down two lines.. And when I hit the delete button, it would go back one space, then it would stop deleting and just repeat the same letter over and over.. While testing this, the Fire crashed.. and when it reset, the keyboard worked better without these issues.. but I still had a lot of typing mistakes as it would be too sensitive.. (kinda crazy that the Fire crashed in the first hour I opened it while typing up an email)

Video: Playing videos from Amazon Prime was fast and sweet! Amazon made it very easy to watch their videos on the Fire. I have not tested MP4 videos I have made for my iPad yet.. Because of size restrictions, I may not do this.

Home screen: Why can you not change the "last viewed" stuff on the top of the Fire.. this is horrible.. I came to work today and of course everyone wants to play with my new Fire.. so they could all see every single website, book, PDF, movie, etc I had viewed last night.. and now because they played with it, I have all the stuff they viewed there as well now.. There should be some sort of incognito mode.. I know this is a personal tablet, but whether someone is behind me when I am in the home screen or someone picks up my tablet at my apartment.. I don't need them seeing what I have been looking at.

Apps: There are a nice amount of apps available already for the Fire.. BUT.. why can’t I remove the apps that the Fire came with? Also, the PDF viewer that comes with the tablet is no good. I side loaded some PDF magazines into the Fire, and they were unreadable on the screen (all jaggy). I then installed the Adobe PDF viewer from the Amazon Market, and the text is much better.. but zooming in and out on a 7” tablet does not make for smooth reading. And why don’t the PDF thumbnail the first page images? The iPad does this right away… all you see on the Fire is the text name of the PDF written over a white sheet. Lastly, I installed Touchdown for the Fire (as the built in email does not include MS Exchange support).. and it works well..except that the client does NOT sync while it is not open.. What the heck is that??

Web: Loading pages like Gizmodo.com was quick.. but it was another issue reading the site.. scrolling down was very jerky and slow.. I know the page is long, but most tech blogs are.. and that is what I would like to read in the back of a cab.

Misc: I wish there were hardware sound control… It would make playing videos/music easier to control, as well as offering page up/page down control for reading. The Fire is a bit heavy and thick.. but for $200, u can’t complain.. I will probably keep using my iPad for reading websites and PDFs… and using the Fire for books and Amazon prime videos.

If anyone knows how to fix the issues above, please let me know.. I know that there is a root out now for the Fire, but I am hoping that there are faster/smoother solutions.
[Kindle Fire General] weespeed:
I was able to side load a .m4v file on the Fire, but it wouldn't play until I renamed it .mp4.

[Kindle Fire General] daffyno:

[Kindle Fire General] WallaceLau:
Yes I sideloaded Mobiplayer and the soft volume swiping does work for the Fire. So at least for video playback I can live without a hardware key. Btw I need to enable software decoding by default or some files won't play... maybe I needed to install a Mobi codec but I don't know which one works. Maybe someone can point me to the right direction...

Hello folks,

yesterday I downloaded SiMiclock widget. I must admit, it is really really nice. However, sometimes when I reboot the widget won't display properly after the reboot: instead of the whole clock, just the centre vertical line is displayed, and it´s moved to the left side of the screen. When I want to delete it and I hold my finger on the place where the line should have been, the launcher triggers the ´move widget´ action. To solve this problem, I have to reinstall the whole app: replacing the widget doesn't work. Is there a solution for this weird problem? Im using Zeam Launcher.
