[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fraser1978:
I have a friend running Android 2.3.7 with a HTC Desire and he was running ubuntu on top of this with a lovely interface. Basically a dual boot with both running at same time. Ubuntu only uses 24mb ram apparently too. Any testers on this??? Thanks. Fraser
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
Won't work for now.... Since if i'm not mistaking the Galaxy Mini doesn't support the loop stuff in the kernel... Actually it's better to ask squadzone . But probably we will need another kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] plesan:
It will work ..bit with give style cm7 or andro-id...I once installed it on my mini but it was slow and I uninstalled it..but it works
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fraser1978:
Yeah i will ask squaddy. I was aware of the fact that it needs kernel loop thing. Apparently my rom and kernel supports it anyway and it is supported on mini with correct kernel
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] android-incredible:
It's any way that i can decrease the memory used.because rightnow this is what im using. Used:317.63 MB Free:285.43MB Total Mem:603.06 MB. I have the everything i could to the sd card.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Alot of people make the mistake of thinking used memory is a bad thing, this is untrue on the android platform, the more ram being used the better performance you are getting due to the fact android OS knows how to close down applications itself when in need. This is also the reason why app-killer apps are bad not good for your phone. Think about it, ram is kind of like your phones short term memory, it you free that up then it will take longer for it to open processes. Be lucky you are using an AOSP rom, sense roms usually only have about 100 to 150mb of ram free because of all the things senseUI requires. The amount of ram you have free is normal. Unless you get down to like 20mb of ram there is no reason to be concerned whatsoever. If ram wasn't meant to be used then why would they be progressively increasing the amount of it in each new device released? ;)

P.S. with the sound of your concern i can only assume you are coming from a blackberry device prior to your current android.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] android-incredible:
You are wrong,before my inc2. I had inc1,and before inc1 i had an env2.lol....but i dont now much about android system.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Hey man, it's all good. I just made that assumption because i have lots of friends that came from blackberry, I did myself and anyone that has ran one of those devices knows that you have to constantly watch your ram. Was just trying to give you some info so you don't know not to worry about ram consumption on the android platform. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] android-incredible:
Ok,bro i just want to learn more about this system.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
No prob man, I'm off work until monday so I've just been bored cycling through the posts in the Inc2 section today lol.

My wife and I both have galaxy s2's and I've set the house up with 3 wireless routers... The problem is when roaming throughout the house the phones don't want to make the jump from one router (same ssid's/settings/passwords/different channels) to another. If I turned Wifi on and I'm on the middle floor I have max signal strength... If I move upstairs and stand next to the other router my signal on the upper info bar is at its lowest.... If I look at available networks though it shows my strength at max. It's only when I shut the Wifi off for a few seconds then back on that it Connects to the strongest channel but the process will repeat again when I go downstairs. What can I do to get our phones to switch to the strongest channel automatically? This is really annoying...
[Networking] strokedmaro:
Here you can see what i mean... The strength is excellent when I view the network but it's still connected to the channel for the router downstairs even when a stronger "excellent" channel is 6 inches away.
[Networking] strokedmaro:
Turn Wifi off for 10 seconds then back on and it looks like this...
[Networking] garychencool:
you could try using those routers as repeaters, assuming that many people wont use the wifi. Wait, how big is your house? And do you really need three?
[Networking] strokedmaro:
my house is about 2000 square feet but I live in japan where typhoon proof houses have 18inch thick rebar and concrete walls and floors...I have 3 routers, one on each floor wired with cat6 through conduits in the walls. Each router is on a separate channel (1,6,11) and they all work flawlessly as long as I shut the wifi off for several seconds. I just think its strange that the pic in post two shows that the closer router can be seen but its choosing not to switch in favor of the one that it originally connected to even though there is next to no signal.
[Networking] psychochicken:
You're not alone - Galaxy S2 wifi roaming isn't working

Wifi roaming isn't working on my S2 running 2.3.4 (stock Samsung firmware).

Looks like it's the same for others. Google:

"Issue 12649:	WIFI roaming not working."

"you tube Hh2XXi4LQ1c"

(I'm not allowed to post links yet :-) )

Waiting for ICS I guess.
[Networking] menyamobile:
It would be nice for galaxy s plus to get working wifi roaming.
[Networking] Zen Arcade:
I have the same issue on a Samsung Infuse running GB 2.3.6. Only way roaming works for me is brute force - either manually disable/reenable WiFi, or get far enough away from connected WAP that the connection drops. After either, a scan typically picks up the closest router.

I work in a building with a dozen or so APs, so a working roaming config would be very helpful.
[Networking] evilgrin78:
Roaming roaming roaming

I use 2 APs that act as Bridge repeaters for my Sky broadband.

I cannot roam between them.

If I disable and enable wireless, the preferred access point is the last one connected, not the strongest signal. The only time I automatically get transferred to another AP is if the original is out of range.

Has anyone tried roaming with the new ICS official ROMs? Does this work?

Will upgrading my Modem to the latest version for Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) help this?

Any answers to these questions would help greatly. :cool::confused:

Galaxy S2 WiFi roaming *not* fixed with ICS

I just got the OTA update to ICS (4.0.3) in New Zealand. Unfortunately WiFi roaming has not been fixed.

Come on Samsung, sort it out! I was thinking of buying a S3, now I might go for an HTC instead.
[Acer Iconia A500] >DARKMAN<:
I have to exchange my acer, the screen at the bottom near the dock sticks up past the outer frame. If you push right there it moves also. You can definitely feel the edge of the glass sticking up. Has anyone else had this issue?

~Sent using my Humble Charge~
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Mine does at the top right corner.. and its slighty spongy. lots of people have said the same thing.. This is due to the design of the glass going all the way to the edge with no frame. Mine has been this way since day one and has not gotten any worse .i could see how there could be a assembly issue causing this to be much worse for some.. mine is appox the thickness of a credit card higher then the frame on that side..that is with the screen protector on it ..

I would use your own descression on rather to exchange it or not
[Acer Iconia A500] >DARKMAN<:
Maybe I am being to picky but, it sticks up about as far as you said, about the thickness of a credit card for a good 3 inches along the bottom edge.

~Sent from my Droid SuperCharge~
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Spoiled Customer

You have every right to take it back.. its a expensive device.. I have mine in a case with screen protector so does not bother me.. If it were a scratch on my van that you almost not see . OR A SCUFF MARK ON A PAIR OF HEELS .. I WOULD SCREAM LIKE A SCORN UNGRATEFUL Spoiled Bxxxh.

Good Luck..
[Acer Iconia A500] HideyoshiJP:
Mine bows up in the same spot as well. It doesn't bother me too much but I'm having other issues so mine is going to Acer. Damn micro-HDMI port.
[Acer Iconia A500] StiHacka315:
Materials

Mine does the same thing, but I can bend the bezel back. It is IMHO not an assembly issue, the case simply is not as sturdy as it could have been.
[Acer Iconia A500] >DARKMAN<:
Well, I got mine replaced and it is much better, there is a slight edge there but i can live with it, plus no stuck pixel, like my first one.
[HTC EVO 3D] m03sizlak:
Yeah so my 2D/3D toggle switch is broke. I used the switch maybe 20 times since I bought this phone...must be a low quality part. It now stays in 2D mode. I can push the switch to 3D, and it will go to 3D, but I have to physically hold the switch or it will slide back to 2D.... I know the switch only affects the camera application, but sometimes I do want to take 3D pictures....I don't want to send the phone in for repair because #1) it's rooted and #2) I cant be without a phone.

So how can I use software to toggle between 2D and 3D camera mode?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I'm thinking you could order and replace that switch fairly easy....could be wrong but I seem to remember reading that it wasn't difficult.

I'm Batman..
[HTC EVO 3D] m03sizlak:
Alright there batman... Link?
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo3dbooms:
well if u only use it for 3d pictures cant u just hold it for the picture?
[HTC EVO 3D] m03sizlak:
No. That's just retarded.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
It hasn't been one year yet. Should replace defect like an early fatigued switch.
[HTC EVO 3D] m03sizlak:
Do they swap out the phone for a brand new one? Because I'm not accepting a refurb, and I'm not going more than 1 day without a phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Probably :( Guess it may be worth finding a work around or living with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
U don't have to go without ur phone they will let u keep the broken one till the new one comes in weather its a refurb or a new one is a roll of the dice
[Nexus S General] j2cervin:
Hello everyone, Im new here so please dont kill me if this is a common question. I have searched all over but cant find the answer I need. Im excited to learn from all the wonderful information here and cant wait to get started.

Anyway, I had a Nexus S 4g flashed to work on Boost. I would like to root it so that I can change some things. However, I do not know if my phone was previously rooted. Is there anyway to find out? If it was, and I rooted it again, would that cause problems? Also, does rooting the phone cause problems with the flashing, or will it keep all of the necessary network information intact (so that it doesnt screw up my service)?
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Rooting doesn't cause problems with the flashing, it just -potentially- opens up the system to damage. This is a user responsibility and not a fault of the rooting process; it's a possibility of having too much power over the system.

Most likely it would have had the bootloader unlocked and have been rooted. Turn off the phone and turn it on again by holding Vol. Up and Power simultaneously for a few seconds. If it was rooted, the best way to know is if it says "bootloader unlocked" in the upper half of the screen. If not, there is a high chance it isn't CURRENTLY rooted. If it is unlocked, the most work you need to give root access to android is going into recovery and installing a .zip file.
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
Exactly so after finding that out just look over one of the many guides we have here at XDA to flash the superuser package.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] j2cervin:
I didnt see anything saying unlocked. I see 'Lock State - Locked', so Im assuming this means that it is not currently rooted. I guess now I will go through some guides and learn which method would be best for me. Thanks for the quick reply and help.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Most likely you aren't rooted either - you can test by typing "su" in terminal emulator.

Just remember if u unlock bootloader the internal data and sdcard will all be deleted.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gs2user:
This is a repost (original at GSII general forum)

I am thinking of getting an MHL cable and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse sets.... but the 800X480 is a bit low for a casual PC.

On the other hand anyone tried LCD resolution to increase the resolution of SII and then MHL?

Not sure how useful it would be.... but definitely good fun :D:p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] D3_:
As far as I know you can't change the resolution of the screen, only the density.

You'll still have an 800x480 resolution but everything on screen will appear smaller, as if you've increased the resolution.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZed:
How can you increase the resolution of the screen??? :confused:

You just cant add pixels. It will still be 800x480 screen

But you can do what the above post said.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gs2user:
See.... so when you change DPI the OS will think it needs less points to display icons/text, rather than think it gots more pixels on the screen?

I think I probably got confused on what exactly that LCD resolution does.

I just got my tbolt last night at beat buy, the rep said we have to check the cam because some phones needed a cam fix. We took a few pics, it worked great, i left n took a few more, no issues, then it just stopped working. I open up cam or recorder, it looks like its starting, then closes out. Anyone know the fix for this? Id take it back, but in the 13 hours since i got it, i drove 700 miles. Id like the cam to work while im in houston the next few days! Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number5toad:
did you get this figured out?

between this issue and your problems with the market, I really think your best option is to hassle Verizon for a replacement, especially since your phone is so new.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
I think its a firmware issue, it has npt done any ota's yet. Still runnin 2.11.605.0 on phone. I have bpth working now, connected to wifi at home, dl 1 app, then market works again. Cam was wierd, changed phone date to 8-1-2011, clear cam cache, reboot and cam works, then change date back. I think ill root it today b4 ota and get some new rom. Fyi 4g flies, pulled 25 meg on houston!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number5toad:
my 4G in downtown NYC is somewhat spotty, but it averages around 12 down, which is more than fine for me most of the time

when I was in Seattle over the summer speeds were nuuuuuuuuts - 45 on average, peaking at like 60 later in the evening

glad your problems are (mostly) sorted out!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Thanks dude! Those seattle speeds are insane!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
I would really check for a firmware update thru the phone. There is no way thats a new Thunderbolt with that firmware on it (or its been laying around their store for a long time). Something doesn't sound right... I would exchange it or bring it to verizon and have them flash the newest update which is 2.11605.9.

The RUU is around, your could flash it your self..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Thanks for the response. I went ahead and rooted and all issues are gone after flashing newest radio and a new rom. Tryin like hell not to flash a different one everyday, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] HeathenMan:
i have a contract with mobile network flat but my 300mb are gone now and i get a message that my credit is gone?? Maybe its because i was in poland yesterday and it doesnt change back with the eu costs? I dont know why it isnt just slower....

Some of you know answer for this? ;P

Edit: or maybe its because i change my framework-res to crom?

Hi everyone,

I had a HTC HD2 and I always flashed a stock Android rom from the Nexus on my HTC HD2 NexusHD2-Gingerbread. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy SII and I'm looking for a Android rom witch has no Samsung apps or TouchWiz interface. I wan't a clean, simple standard Android rom. Is there any available for the SII?

Hi!

I've just got my gt540 .

I decided to install CM7[swift-droid] but fastboot or recovery was needed, so I downloaded rom with fastbood [.kdz] , installed all drivers and started update with kdz updater .

[phone was 2.1 already]

Installation stopped on 140 [booted to download mode]

I disconnected phone ... :(

And now it is not able to boot .

I tried VOL- + USB - nothing happen

I tried Hard-reset - same

KDZ Updater cant find my phone,

I can't even hear the "BUMP" sound when I connect the divice via USB .

Simply phone is fully dead .

Is there possiblity to make my gt540 working again ? //no warranty ;/
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
[HOW-TO] Repair your device if it feels like dead | When you click power button nothing happens (Note that this may or may not work)

Make sure you use USB ports that are in back of youre PC, dont use front ones.

Disable LGE Virtual Modem. In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.

Try to boot your phone into Emergency/Download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER).

If the phone booted into Emergency/Download mode, launch KDZ Updater.

In TYPE dropdown menu, choose EMERGENCY.

Load KDZ(ROM) and flash your phone.

If the phone failed to boot into Emergency/Download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER), launch KDZ Updater.

In TYPE dropdown menu, choose CS_EMERGENCY.

Load KDZ(ROM) and flash your phone.

[HOW-TO] Repair your device if you don't see LG logo, boot animation | Recovery doesn't show up

Download the French v20A and the out.kdz

Take out your battery, SIM and SD card

Plug USB into PC (but not phone yet)

Hold (VOL DOWN) button and plug USB into phone | *Phone goes into Download Mode

Run KDZ Updater

In TYPE dropdown menu, choose CS_Emergency mode

Load French V20A ROM and flash it

When it's finished pull out USB again and hold (VOL DOWN) and reinsert USB to put phone back in Download Mode

Launch KDZ Updater (still in CS_Emergency mode)

Load out.kdz and flash it

You should now have your boot animations back and you can flash whatever ROM you want to use.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I have determined that a lot of my low space issues in the data/data folder are from nearly 120MB of 'system data'. I was confused but willing to work around it since system data is usually pretty important.

However, I recently set up my wife's cappy just like mine (same ROM, Kernel, Modem) and she only has 8MB of system data in her data/data folder:confused:

So, now I'm looking to understand what system data goes into that folder. I know I could do a complete clean install to figure parts of it out, but if there is an answer out there it would be much easier than the pain of a clean install.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all of your application data (cache & user data, but not the applications themselves) lives in there. If you go through your application list and clear the caches, or use a cache cleaner from the market, you should be able to free up much of that space.

The nice thing about the cache cleaners from the market is that they will sort by cache size so you can see which programs hoard cache space (*coughFacebookcough*)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I've thought of that, and 1 Tap Cleaner only shows 1MB in cache. In fact, since I haven't been using a lot of my apps while figuring this out, nearly all of them are 0 cache.

Is there something that 1 tap cleaner is missing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Cache is the easiest way to free up space, but I believe all of your user data, databases, etc. live in there as well. If you move some apps to the SD card, I think it takes the user data with it which should free up some space.

You could also go through and clear the user data from apps that have big databases (like Facebook), but this will clear all of your settings and account info. Once you start using it again, this is obviously going to start filling up again but I find it a bit hard to believe that my username, password, and settings really need to occupy the 3.06mb that it's currently taking up on my phone. It must be accumulating crap somewhere along the way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I've moved some apps to SD w/o really affecting the amount stored there. I have also cleared some data which did help, but doesn't affect the system data.

That's the strangest part. The system data seems to be ~120MB no matter what I do. From all I can find, I only have approx 35MB of actual application user data... the rest is listed as system data, which I can't break down any further.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I've heard of the contacts storage going haywire and taking up space. Have you tried checking and/or clearing that one? Obviously you'll lose anything you don't have backed up with Google.

If that doesn't help, I'm out of ideas short of wiping all of your data and starting over.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
Huh... I'll check into the contacts one. I'll report back here with what I find.

Thanks!
