I like having different threads for different things. Seriously, look at all the posts this thread spawned. If someone doesn't have a wireless controller, nor care anything about wireless controller connectivity, why should they have to sort through all these posts in a generalized review thread? This way, they can easily ignore all this and focus on the things that are of interest.

Frankly I'm getting a bit annoyed every time someone posts something like "why does this have its own thread?" It's not like it costs XDA money for every new thread or something :rolleyes: If you don't like that there are a bunch of different threads, don't read them! But don't ***** because people like organization or think things should be organized differently than you think they should.

So I would have to have the dock to use the xbox controller? there is no way to sync it without it? What would I need to do get the PS3 or the Xbox 360 to connect w/o the dock?

And to go with what Smyc said, it's nice to have "Original New Posts" not duplicate posts in the TP section. I get pissed when multiple threads are opened on the same topic. Yesterday there was about 7 new threads about the new rumor of it being delayed. Each thread provided a different link that spoke about the rumor, but each of those links referenced the phandroid website as the source of there information.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you are on stock kernel, you use Tegrak app to overclock. If you use Rogue Desperado, its built in and controlled with an app like SETCPU. As far as ROMs, you have to try them and see what's best for you. Everyone has different taste

Hi all,

I wonder if there is any program that plays a music or sound file while I am talking on the phone (talk with background music)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sumeshd:
Any 3rd party music player (eg. Poweramp) will do it..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Si14:
Thanks. I think this does not work for me, since:

this program or other music players play music and when I am on the phone, the mic will pic up the music coming from the speaker+my voice. So in a crowded ambient, the mic might not be able to pic up the music properly or it might simply pause the music.

Is there any program that play the music internally and carry my voice over the music?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
call background music

Nothing at the moment...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] junchen:
There used to be an app called Call Cheater for symbian phones. I remember using it with my nokia n95. It allows u to choose any music or sounds to be played in the background while u are in the midst of your calls. Highly useful to pretend that you are in a busy cafe, bad traffic jam etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lolcat12:
Is there some sort of definitive guide out there that explains how to interpret all these battery stats numbers etc?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blackstar84:
Cellstanby looks higher then it should be..but I assume you have installed some App...that is updating/syncing when in standby mode...with no apps installed it should be around 2%.

The screen will always be the major battery drainer...You need to plan already in the morning, how many hours you plan to use the phone heavily, that means surfing the web or watching movies...Since we all bought the note cause we want this very bright screen, we should of course use the highest amount of brightness to you surrive the day...I am still learning this...

When using auto brightness plus let the system and adjust screen power enabled I get the screen battery usage to 22%..which is impressive...sure you get used to low brightness even when watching videos..but when you A/B compare with auto brightness and 100% brightness it looks like night and day...for getting the best video experience you really want 100% brightness... depending on the video content of course..

When having 100% brightness the screen usually takes between 57% and 67% and this is my major complaint with this phone (besides lagging UI)... when using 100% brightness it eats battery...sure you can use the phone for a couple of hours heavy use with 100% brigthness but not a full workday.... about 2.5 hour of video...

Well I would love if some one could do a more in depth benchmark test with graphs etc... on saving power etc..

I hope there will be a stronger battery in future to upgrade...

I think I will begin to take the battery charger with me to work... so I can use 100% brightness all day..cause then this phone is a pure joy to use...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ArcticCat:
your phone is at 55% after 9.5 hours and you are complaining :)

Well I wouldn't to my eyes these are more than normal, rather in the very good range.

In my case the major drainer is not the Display but the voice calls, all I am asking for (battery wise) is a full day (14 hours or so) and I can't get this no matter what I tried, it is always failing short at around 10hours or so.

I would be more than happy with 55% after 10hours
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lolcat12:
I see, what are those unused CPU states?

Also I have no power saving stuff or battery saving apps going on. Nor do I go out of my way to save battery, I just use my phone when I need it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] randomstranger99:
One cool trick you can do to reduce screen draw is to adjust brightness on the fly: hold your finger down on the notification bar and drag left to lower brightness and right to increase it.

I usually have my brightness set low and only increase it when I'm in a bright environment like outside in the sun.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gamero_m:
well i don't know u but, i had my phone for 2 days and 15 hours, and it still at 14 % :) , i just plug in to my pc for 10 mins last nigths because i was testing some apps :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
Nice! I hadn't heard of that before! Looks like you have to have auto brightness turned off, though.

It'll be a good while I think. The only reason the 3VO has the LOCKSCREEN is that it and the touchpad have the same SoC. The Nexus S doesn't have the same innards.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Having never used Android before, I bought my first Android device last month (Xperia Play) and installed it on my HP TouchPad. Of course, I had never used the Android Market before either, so when I made a test purchase from the Android Market I was surprised to see it go through without ever asking me for payment details. I got an email receipt to my Google account saying that I could get a refund in a certain amount of time, but I still had no idea what card or account it had been charged too. Eventually, I found that $5 had been deducted from my Chase checking account, presumably from my debit card. That's strange because I have not used Google Check Out or anything Google-related since the last time my check card was replaced, so I can't imagine how they got the payment details. It's on my twin brother's family plan, so it was not charged through the cellular provider either. To make matters worse, I no longer used that account and it caused an overdraft (corrected)

Now, I checked every account and settings screen I could find in the Android Market app but I could find nothing about payments or payment methods. I logged in to market.android.com on my PC and similarly could find nothing. I checked their help and FAQ questions: Nothing. I searched here: Page after page of irrelevant results. ARGH!

I'm ready to make more app purchases (Titanium Backup Pro, PdaNet, etc) but I only have enough in that account to cover the bills that I pay from it and I can't allow Google to withdraw on that bank account again. How can I switch payment methods so that it will not automatically bill the wrong account AGAIN?

Edit: "ARGH!" again. I found a thread about billing to your AT&T account being added and there was a screenshot distinctly showing AT&T billing as a drop-down in some kind of checkout page in the Market app. Thinking I must have somehow missed it, I installed Titanium Backup and then chose to purchase the key. Once again there was NO checkout and it just went ahead and purchased without ever giving the option to provide a funding source. How on Earth did they ever get my payment details and how to I manage them?!

I immediately canceled/refunded the order.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Log into your Google account on a PC and then manage you google checkout options. The card is in there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Thanks, but I already looked for Google Checkout options in the logical places last month and found nothing, but I shouldn't have to even look: It is illogical that they would use the service without my permission and without informing me. Even so, I checked Google.com>More>Even More while logged in and searched in the page for "Check" with no results. I am logged in. On the Google page I only have search related configuration options.

OK, so I tried to go to checkout.google.com MANUALLY and it forwarded me to "Google Wallet," which I have never used before. I had to agree to all kinds of things just to get in there and delete the card, so it's like they were holding it hostage until I agree. One thing is for sure: I NEVER agreed to automatically be charged through the Android Market. *NOW* will I finally be prompted for payment options when I chose to buy an app? I'll find out soon.

They are getting pretty sloppy. First, I got slammed by over $30 of texting fees because their Google Voice app said it was receiving the messages in the messaging app instead of saying that it was forwarding them to my mobile number (Grrr... without even a warning about potential fees, they worded it exactly like the feature I was looking for: like iMessage and BBX or SMS GV Extensions on iPhone integrating with the native text messaging app).

The fact that there is no mention of GCO/Wallet anywhere on the Android Market options or help pages is a serious oversight.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Oh yeah I forgot that Google check was changed to Google wallet recently. I know when I buy an app it tells me what card it is charging it to before I buy it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotapocalypse:
same here. I didn't start using the Android Market until the 10 cent deals came out. It asked me if I wanted to charge it to my cell provider or enter a new credit card. Each time I make a purchase I have both of those options, though my credit card info is saved with Google Wallet or what ever it is. Then I have to manually enter my pin. I wasn't sure what this was at first, but tried my phone lock pin and that was it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
I'm getting my fiance one or the other for christmas, but I would like to know if there is actually the development support for the view as the flyer. Is it worth getting the view over the flyer for the price or am I going to pay for it in the long run due to lack of support? The reason I ask it is doesn't seem like there is much support for the view under the development section and I would like to know I have community support in anything I buy. I see we have root on both devices but there doesn't seem like near as many roms and such on the view as the flyer, which I understand because the view is just a sprint product. Where the flyer is sold globally. More or less I'm just looking for advice on which is the better buy, as I know for sure that she does want the flyer/view for the pen functionality and form factor of the flyer/view. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stumpyz9:
Flyer. If development is a big issue for you(as it is for most people on here), then that's your pick. And an added bonus is that the flyer will have a better resale value because it is gsm
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Cool, that's mainly what I needed to know.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
There isn't exactly an abundance of support for the flyer as far as I am aware.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Oh, so I guess it's not going to matter either way? I've seen a few custom roms for the flyer, but only one for the view. The biggest thing I'm concerned about is that she wants to "try" honeycomb(assuming it does actually show up), but she didn't really like it in the store on the other tabs(A100, Tranformer, etc.). So I really just want to make sure if I allow her to accept the OTA that I can get it back to stock GB if necessary. I assume that I could just root and recover back to GB if necessary? Same as I can take my TB back to stock if I wanted, or do you think I am mistaken on this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Flyer. We don't know what the rollback options will be on the view (if any) after an OTA update to HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
This will be the kicker then. And since you're a Dev. then I'm not even going to bother with trying to deal with the view. Plus you have already wrote the rollback guide for me if that needed to happen. Thanks again for responses.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Well, I just purchased the flyer, thanks for the comments.

Custom ROM for View

Can you please give me a link for that Custom ROM for view?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
how did you manage to get one if you don't mind me asking?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Ebay. That's the only place I could find them. I originally took her to best buy, and she tried the A100, the Flyer, the Gtab, Nook, and Kindle. She originally wanted a kindle, but after playing with it she didn't like how it felt, and it had to be a 7 in or close to it, so since BB still had the Flyer up on display she played with it and loved it, so I was looking to get her what she wanted.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
I could have been wrong, it was a quick glance though the first 3 pages in the Dev section. If you looked though the Dev section and there isn't one there then it was a mistake on my part.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
The thread in question was written by Contradude and the ROM name is ClerverNameHere.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rushless:
Seems the View is the better option if you can get for the same price or less, since the View has 16gb more internal storage and no white sides (OK, that is picky).

I have the Flyer and have ordered the View for $235.

Either model IMO is the best option for 7" tablets, none the less.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Two more questions, has anybody used the mhl adapter? Does it do hdmi mirroring? Or is it more of a media output like the dnla adapter? And, has anyone used a keyboard/mouse with it? I assume this will only be possible with the hc update, but I would still like to know for curiosity sake.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sbrownla:
The View is a beautiful device. The best looking 7" tablet available.

The problem is that the support for it is terrible, in terms of roms, and Honeycomb probably won't happen. That's fine with me though since it is an excellent and strong device, as is.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chong67:
I got the View also bc its on sale and the 32gb of memory.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Mirroring works on HC and DLNA works great on HC, for the Flyer

Information about my phone:

Bought my Phone Nov. 26th

SGH-T989

Android 2.3.5

Baseband Version - T989UVKID

Kernel version - 2.6.35.11

Build Number - Gingerbread.UVKID

Hello fellow sgs2 users and xda members.

After searching google and the XDA forums it would appear that rooting my phone is going to void the warranty, unless I can find a stock rom...

A few questions:

1. Is the above statement true or can I root my phone and install custom rom's without voiding the warranty?

2. Many of the sites / posts I found were not specific about the type of warranty - whether it be manufacturer or t-mobile. Can anyone shed some light on this?

3. Is there a place I can find a stock rom backup? I found an OP post in the dev forums, but the link is broken. EDIT: I found all the files for the stock restoration process here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321811&highlight=stock+rom+void+warranty

At this point the answer to these questions are the only thing I'm waiting for before I root my phone.

My primary motivations for rooting and installing a custom rom (by priority/importance):

1. Getting rid of CIQ

2. Removing carrier programs and customizations

3. Improving performance

Perhaps one of you overachievers can recommend a set of steps to follow. I've read through several rooting guides, and the "what's the best rom" thread. I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed, but will continue reading.

p.s.

This was the only thread I found in the t-mobile samsung galaxy s II sgh-t989 forum with the keyword "warranty" - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385170&highlight=warranty perhaps I'm not searching properly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sethbw:
Thanks mikeyinid.

I'm having trouble getting the superuser.zip (su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip) installed. After installing it using CWM, I boot up the phone but superuser is nowhere to be found in my apps list, and ROM Manager doesn't work because it says it can't find superuser.... sigh...

A couple of things that the instructions from many rooting guides that I found were necessary and/or helpful:

When you need to power up into CWM: make sure you unplug the USB before you do it. All you have to do is hold down the volume keys and the power button at the same time until you feel the phone vibrate, or you see the samsung logo appear.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
Okay here is the main answer you need: Yes, rooting your phone voids your warranty. Period. Some of us (myself included) go into all of this rooting stuff knowing that doing so means we're on our own. Some do it thinking they can game the system if/when **** goes down, and some don't know the risks at all.

Even though I have never nor would never think that someone owes me a new phone when I screwed it up (save for on my epic 4G because you needed to root to get usable GPS and that is pathetic) there is one way to guarantee that you'll be safe: buy the phone from bestbuy and get their insurance. It covers "accidental" damage meaning if it got bricked you could simply "accidentally" drop it down a few flights of stairs and when it is subsequently destroyed you get a new device. That and that alone is the only sure fire way to keep your device safe.

Thanks guys, I need help.

I go to cwm and install from zip (from my external SD) and select su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip

From there I get the following error:

E:Error in/sdcard/su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip

I was told this is not a problem, so I reboot my phone from the cwm menu. No superuser in my apps list, ROM Manager does not work.

Sorry that was an old post I was in the middle of editing it when you replied! I did use Odin.
