[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
I checked around here and found no threads that could FULLY answer my questions.

I have a set of Bluetooth headphones that I like to wear while I am biking or walking my dog. I use them to listen to music and to make/answer hands-free calls when necessary. So far, everything seems to be working ok. Whenever I press the Call button on my headphones, my music pauses and the Voice (or whatever that Vlingo-powered app is called) opens and I am able to simply say "Hi Galaxy" and then say "Call Whoever."

Here is my question/problem though:

Whenever I press that Call button on my headphones and that Voice app opens, the screen also turns on! Whenever I am using my headphones, the phone is in my pocket (FYI, I am also weird in that I ALWAYS place the phone in my pocket with the screen facing away from my body) so I cant even see the screen anyways.

Should I be concerned about the screen coming on while in my pocket AND/OR is there a way to keep the screen off when that Voice app opens? :confused:

I havent had it happen yet, but I am afraid of my clothing somehow pushing a button on the Voice app and screwing something up! Especially since I am moving my legs and my pants might be rubbing against the phone screen.

I appreciate anyone explaining how I can fix this issue OR someone explaining to me why I dont need to worry.

In case it is needed:

Phone: SGH-I777 AT&T Galaxy S II (rooted, debranded (still AT&T though), running stock 2.3.4 firmware)

Headphones: Sony Ericsson MW600

Music App: Poweramp

Voice App: Default Voice (Powered by Vlingo) app

Oh BTW, if anyone asks about whether the Sony Ericsson MW600 headphones work with this phone: YES, YES THEY DO. Very well in fact!

(I was worried too because after updating my old SE Xperia X10 to 2.3.3, the music, no matter what app used, kept hiccuping every few random seconds! I am SOOOOOO glad they work perfectly on my new phone!!!! :))
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
There's very little chance of anything happening. As you haven't even had it happen to you.

Though for jogging I'd highly recommend and arm band phone holder like one of these:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalavar:
I also find this annoying. Screen also turns on when you end the call with the headset. The whole purpose of bluetooth is handsfree so I'm not sure why they designed it like this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
glad to hear that there is nothing to worry about regarding accidental button press. still wish the screen wouldn't come on though.

ill look into one of those armbands just because though. it may make things easier when biking. Thanks oh gr8hairy1 (love that name).

EDIT

I ordered one.

Hi,

i was flashing RUU via fastboot (pb99img). But then when it was on progress my phone ran out of battery and it drop. Then i charge it.

After i wait for 1 hour and i want to flash the RUU again my desire cant turn on and go to fastboot mode also. When i try to go to fastboot mode it only vibrates.

What is this and how do i fix it ?

RUU PROBLEMS

"I tried using a RUU, but it failed, and now my phone is stuck on a black HTC Screen with /!\ In every corner!"

Possible Causes:

- You were S-OFF and you flashed a custom bootloader from alpharev

- You didn't check the MD5 Sums before proceeding, and the download may have been corrupted.

- You tried using the wrong RUU

[5]Fixing your problem

Your phone is stuck in RUU mode. RUU mode is like fastboot mode, and can still receive fastboot commands, therefore it can be easily "fixed". It helps to have a goldcard for this problem, so that you can use any RUU you want.

S-OFF

[STEP1]- download "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev

[STEP2]- download Android Flasher

[STEP3]- use android flasher to flash "Bravo Stock"

[STEP4]- run the RUU again and wait for it to finish

S-ON

If you're S-ON it eliminates the possibility of you having a custom bootloader, and the only possibility now is that the RUU was corrupted or you used the wrong RUU for your device. Therefore, for this process you need a goldcard.

[STEP1]- Create the goldcard from the tutorial

[STEP1]- Use the WWE RUU

Hi Guys!!

I am thinking about upgrading to a new rom with sense 3.5..

I would love if you guys could outline the features or differences you found between stock and the new roms, Often it takes me a week to find half of the cool features, even when reading the changelog.

Looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] ak29:
Main thing I noticed right away is 3.5 has 6 browser tabs versus 3 which has only 4.
[HTC Sensation] swoope:
what browser tabs? confused.

beers
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
*Change Amount of Homescreens

*Better status bar

*Rotation animation (w/ beats)(beats on xe rom too)

*Better Dock theme

*Smoother(much faster than 3.0, transitions are better)

*Smaller overall(compare .zip sizes...)

*Newer, successor to 3.0....

*Better app compatibility, based on newer Gingerbread version

*New apps(usage monitor, better camera UI,etc...)

Here are my Pros of the new Sense....
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
^this...It's progressive! Why go backwards...
[HTC Sensation] ViperAMD:
Thanks for that Ace! Good list! Are there any cool new widgets?

I am going to go on 3.5 regardless, I'm just keen to hear what people find best about the new roms, as I always seem to miss the cool stuff until 3 weeks of use!
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Does 3.5 use less ram than 3? How much does it typically require?
[HTC Sensation] DavidXSU:
I find one of the best changes is in the phone application it has people, call history, and groups under the dialer. Only thing I didn't like is in Messages it doesn't show a count of how many messages are in a thread.

Sent from my Sensation
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Sense 3.5 is a much much better update than 3.0..

It offers much more functionality than just eye candy. There are so many new changes. It's way faster aswell.

Also another new feature not mentioned by ace, you can have a different wallpaper for the lock screen and hime screen.

Upgrade. Now.
[HTC Sensation] ukjm2k:
ROM size itself has gone from ~350Mb to ~320Mb - better features, smaller size; cleaner code.

One of the best touch-ups for me is when you press SEND on an SMS, you dont get the "please wait" wheel spinning and have to wait to get back into the Messages menu; its instant.

Small change, big difference ;)
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
In Sense 3.5, when a new SMS is received or you have a missed call, you can drag the new SMS or missed call notification down to the lock ring to open directly.

Also, Sense 3.5 adds Outlook Tasks Synchronizing.

The volume change popup (after you press the vol+ or vol+), is now bigger & you can directly tap the speaker icon to mute/vibrate instead of pressing Vol- all the way down.
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
+1 for this tip...

that means i have a lot to explore on 3.5 :)
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Also sense 3.5 is 50% faster. It's been much more optimised

I just want the official release asap :P gives us something to play with before ICS

hi, Anyone intrested for arabizing his rom, here is link how to arabize your rom so that it can read and write arabic. For sms, web and mail.Thanks to Madmack for his work.

http://blog.devasque.com/?page_id=11

i did arabize rom I9001ZSKP6 and worked perfect. if anyone has I9001ZSKP6 installed and wants a ready flashable zip through CWM here i uploaded.

All you have to do is deodexed your rom ( ONLY for I9001ZSKP6) and flash zip through CWM recovery. Or otherwise with other rom go through the link and make your own zip.( THIS ZIP FILE WILL ONLY WORK ON DEODEXED I9001ZSKP6 ROM.)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
Hi fellow Infusers. Are you anything like me and everytime you flash a new rom you find a themed APK that suits you?

Ive been flashing ROM's for a while now, and have QUITE the collection of different themed APK's. Everytime I flash a new ROM I have to bring my MMS.apk with me, because I love the color of the text bubbles.

I always switch out the white google search widget in favor of the translucent one's I've found.

Anyways, onto my point. I would love start a thread storage area for themed APK's, but would I have to get permission from each developer whose ROM I ransacked to get the APK's I want, or would it be sufficient to just give them credit under each one?

Well hopefully we can get this ball rolling soon. I know I will definitely upload a couple in the coming days that I know wouldn't violate any rules.

In the meantime. Do you guys know any roms that have awesome MMS.apks or any other cool apps?

Discuss
[Samsung Infuse 4G] john21511:
That's a damn good idea. I have a red Pandora themed apk and love it. You should start a new thread in the android theme section instead of the infuse section.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
I know right? I have an awesome green Pandora, with a translucent widget.

I just dont want to anger any dev's, because I have collected ALOT of MMS.apks out of their hard work.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
And I love my ics keyboard...:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
Dman you're a dev do you know the rules? Do I need to PM each of them for permission or can I go crazy posting themed APK's in a thread in the themes and apps section?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
If it were me...out of respect...I would ask each one before you post pieces of their hard work....just respectful is all...I know it takes some time...I had to wait 3 or 4 days for darky to reply to my permission request before I posted...even though I already had it running....its the right thing to do bro ...:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redion:
I got a thought!

At this moment I am trying to build Windows CE 6.0 for Raspberry Pi board.

While I was doing that I though it would be great to have CE on my Dell Streak 5.

I just want people's opinion about this!

So what do YOU think of having Windows Ce 6 on the Streak with all the applications that are available for windows?

Help from some C programmers would be nice since drivers are written in C.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
It'd be an interesting novelty, but how much effort do you think you can put into it?

I dont mean to sound negative, but the real facts are thus:

The bootloader's apparently somewhat fragile

The drivers are another major concern

And just as importantly, are you willing to do it even though it would mostly be a novelty? While there might be interesting uses for it if it was ever fully completed, it will only be a novelty if it's not stable enough for real use :(

The biggest hurdle would be that the s5 drivers, I dont know offhand what the upstream license is, but remember that the streak kernel is linux and GPL.

Regardless you'd still have to write your own drivers from scratch, there's a couple uncommon chips that dont have any real drivers outside the official ones, the same reason that we dont have CyanogenMod.

I would definitely be interested in it myself and wish you well, but this is a huge undertaking.

Does the pi already have pre-made drivers/source code ready? It's a whole different beast to just compile it then to have to make your own drivers.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redion:
I have talked to Eben in person and he said if some one takes that task then he will provide the details for hardware and specs.

you are right Windows CE it is a big project to take. Drivers are big problem plus the license for WINCE.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TFGBD:
Good luck.

Off the top of my head, I know of at least four successful hobbyist ports of Windows CE to "new" hardware.

They are:

1. Otaku's (unreleased) CE 4.2/5.0 BSP for the Gizmondo handheld

(This already shipped with CE 4.2)

2. Coutilla's port of Windows CE 5.0/WM6 to the HTC Magician.

(This shipped with the CE 4.2 based Pocket PC 2003 SE)

3. A barely tested port of CE 4.x to the GP32x game console based on a cloned sample BSP. (These shipped with some varient of embedded linux originally)

See, it isn't impossible. I wish you luck but it is a pretty difficult undertaking. I personally wish for more projects like there as there are so few. I'll encourage anyone who thinks they can pull it off CE needs some of the same luck linux gets as it has the potential to add the same sort of capabilities linux usually does and I'm all for choice.

I imagine part of the reason there are so few success stories is not just limited interest but also idealogy. The people with the skill to do this and write things like low level drivers for new hardware are mainly in the open source/linux community and a good number of them hate Microsoft/Windows CE.

The ports of CE 6.0 to the gumstix boards might also count but I'm not sure how hobbist those are. It's also a dev board to begin with. I'm mostly interested in existing consumer devices that have had it ported even if they were already running an older version of CE.

Another thing you may want to look into is KVM-QEMU on ARM Linux. When it matures enough, maybe virtualizing WinCE in KVM-QEMU will be the easiest route.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
wouldn't it work to delete all of the wallpapers it is calling from the framework-res.apk and re-pack with images you would want to use (or delete all but one)?

I haven't tried it as it is too risky not being able to boot into a recovery and make backups and/or restore. That and I don't know how to re-pack the .apk. The third party launchers are trying to pull wallpapers from where traditional roms store their default wallpapers (the framework-res.apk).

It appears Amazon has stripped out most calls for any custom wallpapers from the traditional settings.

However the stock launcher is pulling the wallpaper from a folder inside of the launchers own .APK making it difficult for an average user to change (we could pass them off as themes.)

This post I found might help us with the unpacking and repacking of this type of .apk however I don't have the time to work with it.

I just sold my sensation and got this phone..so far it is working out but there are some things I am trying to figure out. Yes i know i can root it but was thinking about holding out on rooting until the next firmware push so i can get the wifi calling option. I believe in time it will be in a cooked rom but until then this is kinda my plan...so here are my questions.

1: I notice the menu fonts are a lot bigger than on the sensation. Any way to make it smaller so i can fit more on the screen. I am reffering to line when you are in the settings and scrolling all the options like wifi, sound, display, etc

2: anyway to change up the power options to include a reboot option?

3: you know how you can pan left and right and setup dif screens. on the sensation for the text messages there was a nice large widget which would display several texts conversations. how to get that back so i don't have to hit the icon to get to the large display

4: same as #3 but when it comes to the gallery for pics

5: what same as #3 but for the music playing options

6: the market update is driving me nuts. I don't want the new one and i will use the old one and then it updates. I will go into applications and uninstall the update and then next time i use it it updates. Where can i uncheck something so it will leave it on the old market?

7: why when i take a pic with the flash sometimes on the screen when it take the pic with flash it will wash it out on the screen and shows as a crap pic but when you go to the gallery the pic is fine?

8: anyway to change the application icon content to scroll up and down versus side to side a screen at a time

9: any other keyboard options for texting, etc?

10: any different dialer you all suggest?

thanks for any info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
Sounds like you should've kept the sensation...

Maybe you can look around the rom section and find a rom that fixes some of your "issues".

A new font may fix the font size issue. The rest, idk. As I'm ok with all the rest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] calimove:
you would think based on my questions but there was no way overcoming the issues with the sensation. speakerphone sucked bad ...could not hear a thing...bad design and was no overcoming that. camera app was also terrible...so i made the right choice just customizing it to fit me...
