[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I have very little personal experience with Mobile Odin. However, that package only contains the kernel, system image and modem. And Mobile Odin will not flash any bootloaders or param even if present.

So pull the battery, put it back and boot the phone and see where you are.

As far as the usb port malfunctioning, did the second phone come from the same place as the first one? Could have been from the same batch. I've only see a very few posts about bad usb port, and I've been in here since release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cdub5:
So I've tried battery pull, and jig. Jig gets me to download mode, which unfortunately is basically useless since I have the usb issue. When I battery pull, I just end up back stuck at the boot screen. I did get the replacement from the same best buy, but the build numbers where different. This sucks. I think I have to go and play stupid (shouldn't be hard for me) and tell them about the usb issue and then say when I tried to reboot phone it got frozen. At least with the jig everything is cleared in terms of flash count. Just dont know if they will be able to do something to tell that I messed with the phone.

Is it just me, or notifications don't play through the headset?

When I play Pandora radio via headphones and an email arrives the music pauses, as usual, and...notification sound only comes through the speaker..

Can someone confirm this?

Thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
I think I have noticed the same thing, though I don't remember it playing over the phone speaker?
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
I could've sworn I saw a setting that let you choose whether a notification was sent through the headset or speaker...But I just went hunting through all the settings and can't find it. :confused:
[LG Nitro HD] brinboston:
not sure what headsets you guys are using... whenever i am playing music through my headphones (no mic) i always get a notification sound, came as default. i don't recall changing anything
[LG Nitro HD] tokie_:
well ive used 3 different head sets nowmal earbuds bluetooth and one with a mic and i get nothing from any of them
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Mine works too. I use a regular JVC in-ear headsets to listen to music, and I can hear phone calls ringing, as well as message notifications coming in. Nothing seems any different than my other android phone. It might be a setting that u accidentally changed maybe?
[LG Nitro HD] tokie_:
every thing is stock other than having root
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Well obviously it has something to do with the headset itself. Mine is Skullcandy FIX and it works dandy (other then inline vol up/down buttons) on Skyrocket and Atrix 4g, but on Nitro not only it doesn't get notifications through it, the mic doesn't work either!

I also have some brand I don't remember, from RadioShack store - no notifications, but at least mic works.

im going ot go to my AT&T store today and see what they will have ill post which headset works

Hi.

I have an issue and i am wondering if somebody else is concerned.

Here we go:

I own a Galaxy S 4G and usually i use Call Log instead of the Greeen "Phone" button at the menu at the bottom. Whats the use of opening that and then pressing "Log" to find whoever i called or who called me recently.

But now that i own galaxy s 2 i do not have an app / shortcut for call logs...

Help?

I tried to find it in my previous phone and copy it over... no use...

HELP!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Currently my phone is stuck in a boot loop, I assume for too little space to create the dalvik cache.

http://pastebin.com/kzTtDwET

I need to overwrite the framework and service files with their _backups. However, I can't as it is read only, and when I try to invoke su, it fails even though I have the superuser apk installed.

How can I solve this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] waldoelx7241:
The only reason i bought the galaxy player was to be able to use the mediahub app to watch all the media that I own. Knowing that only Samsung android devices are capable to use the mediahub app I assumed that the galaxy player would have it. After all it is a galaxy product "high end".

Can someone please help me find a working apk for mediahub?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cramjammer:
I read before purchasing that it is capable with an upgrade at a later time via OTA... but out of the box, no...Media Hub is not there.

I could be wrong, but very doubtful its available otherwise.

Good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:
Hi,

You're welcome.

I didn't see anything in dmesg, but I didn't check that other log thing (I forget what it's called).

If you do get it working, please post back :)!

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cramjammer:
Jim-

Sorry for taking so long to respond...Kids, wife, life-in-general...gets in the way of my Android obsession!

First let me say I know enough to be dangerous, i.e.- ADB, Odin, rooting, flashing, etc. But as for development, reading and writing code, I'm not the guy. I've self-taught and used steps of others to educate myself. I just got done unlocking my Galaxy Nexus and rooting it. Great phone btw.

So, with that being said I haven't got too far with this. I used the apk from Jesse and it installed, but like you i got the same error msg. I went into Root Explorer and changed the permissions with still no luck. I used the Media Hub from my Vzw Galaxy Tab 10.1 too, (I figured why not...?) no luck either.

i'm not opposed to trying different ideas using my Galaxy Player for the greater good.

sorry, I know this didn't help much but I didn't want to leave you hangin.

CJ
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:
Hi,

Did you get the same error I got when you tried media hub from your Galaxy Tab ("unknown error")?

If so, it's hard to tell what's going on.

I know that awhile ago, I tried bringing over some APKs from my SGP5 to my Gtablet (the opposite of this thread), and some worked ok, and some failed for various reasons, including one (Artillery Defense) that gave a more specific license error. I think another one (Heavy Gunner 3D) just dies.

The log thing I mentioned is logcat. There're some apps on market that allow you to see logcat, which is I think more of a app-type logging (vs. dmesg, which is more system logging). Maybe try install one of these apps (aLogcat, I think is one of them), then try launching media hub, then look at the logcat, to see if there's anything apparent there.

Other than that, "unknown error" isn't very helpful, so not sure what to do if logcat doesn't show anything helpful.

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cramjammer:
Jim...I'll give this a run tonight or at work tomorrow morninh and see what the logcat shows. Maybe we can work through this one with a bit of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] waldoelx7241:
ya i tried a few different apk's and all had the same error message. also my 5.0 kept messing up so I swapped it for a 4.0, I like it better actually.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but it looks like it's trying to initialize audio, so it may be that the APK (from the 1st couple of posts) is not compatible hardware-wise with the SGP5 (US).

This is for those who care. The Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus is safe to flash on Sprint! Don't know good it would work because of the 4G sim card it uses.

Definitely not possible. In order to provision a phone on Sprint you either:

Need to have the ESN/MEID in the Sprint system, and only certain Sprint personnel can do this, or

Illegal activity of which XDA does not approve.

Long and short of it - Sprint reps are never to be trusted on these things. They only know what is in a script -and when they can't find it they say whatever they can to make you happy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeffiphone:
Picked up a Skyrocket to use as a backup to my iPhone 4s. Got it today, and put my micro sim in the Skyrocket, phone worked fine, data did not.

After fiddling around with the APN settings for hours with no luck, I finally went to at&t and had them switch me to the unlimited lte plan, and then the data on the Skyrocket worked just fine.

When I got back home, I popped the sim back in my 4S and....no data. After a few minutes of fiddling with it (restarting the phone, resetting network settings) it started working. So now I thought I was good and put the sim back in the Skyrocket, and the data had stopped working there.

Now I can't get data on either phone, lol, and I'm getting kind of worried that I may not be able to get my unlimited iPhone data plan back, even though I asked them before I switched to the unlimited lte plan and they said I could.

Anyone have any experience with using these two phones together with the same sim card? Anything else I could try that I missed?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justinfedor:
Easy fix. Stop swapping sim cards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justinfedor:
U can get it back. As long as you're on unlim ur fine. Call att and see what the problem is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Juroid:
Most likely, its the data service issue going from iphone to skyrocket or vice versa. IOS and Android is set up as 2 different types of data plan from ATT. U can't swap sim cards between IOS and Android. Sim cards can be swap between iPhone to iPhone and Android to Android but not Android to iphone, Especially now with LTE service. That's why when u switch from iphone to skyrocket, ATT has to make changes to your data plan regardless of you getting keeping unlimited or not.

As for 3g Android to IOS or IOS to 3g Android phone, it may work.

I hope I made it clear enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dxtra:
No. The problem here is you need to be on LTE DATA PLAN to use the skyrocket. You could switch between LTE phones with no problem but I'm guessing to go back to regular 3G LTE data plan won't work. Call at&t

Glock,

Have you tried the LTE SIM back in the non-LTE phone using the LTE plan.

See, I want the Skyrocket for my husband, but want to use my upgrade then switch the SIM with my number back into my Atrix. So the LTE plan and SIM would be my number, but my Atrix is not LTE. I know I will have to change my husbands plan after the switch so that his skyrocket will have data, but only if my Atrix will work on the LTE data.

Anyone know?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] glock115:
I put the lte sim into my 4s and everything works fine, I had the sim cut with one of those micro cutters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeffiphone:
Actually figured out my problem, lol. It looks like AT&T is having data coverage issues in my home area. Once I go a few miles away from home I can get data on both the Skyrocket and iPhone using my micro sim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Midiman57:
The last I knew, AT&T uses two different data networks. One for iDevices and one for everything else. My girlfriend and I had to sign up for separate data plans because she went with the iPhone. And, the is no unlimited LTE data plan to switch to where I am.

I got the game Great Little War Game (GLWG) at the Android Market during the $.10 deal and I gotta say its A LOT of fun - amazing turn based strategy game, but its absolutely destroying my battery life. My normally steady, linear decline in battery goes to a dive. Itll be at about a 10-20 degree decline with normal use, then goes to about 70 degree dive. Is this normal??? I know its a pretty taxing game with the graphics and whatnot of the game (amazing btw) but to kill it that fast??

I'll have to pull it up here soon and take a screenshot of the battery graph after playing it, pretty impressive.

Sorry if this belongs in "Known Battery Drainers", this was a slightly more specific one.

And reading some reviews on the Market, people report it being not that hard on the battery so I'm curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 10tonhammr:
Go to the game's settings menu. Click "Best Graphics". Screen will go black and turn back on. It should now say "Fast Graphics." Turn "Mission Intros" off. Over on the left side of the Settings screen are 3 sliders. The bottom one controls some of the scene animations (like water flow.) Change it to anything other than "Ultra". All these things helped me to reduce battery drain and overheating. The slight decrease in game visuals is a small price to pay for better battery life and not turning your phone into a hotplate. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
Thanks for the heads up! I really appreciate it! Hoping this helps a bit

Just tried it with the changes and I'll admit it doesn't look near as good but definitely playable and doesn't really take away from the fun of it. HUGE improvement in heat and battery drain! Thank you so much for that advice!

I think this game destroyed my battery. I was hooked and played it for hours while charging (although it still drained my battery).

I killed all running apps and then let the phone charging over night. Next morning the phone was so hot it almost burned my hand and it was dead. I left it cool down and tried turning it on, but it didn't. I plugged it in again and the battery wouldn't charge. Then I swapped my battery with my wive's and everything worked perfectly.

Now I have a new original battery and the phone is workibg again. I don't plan using any battery hogger game/app again.
