[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazmattt:
Any idea why all MMS I receive or send is at most 20-25 KB large?

Is there a way to increase this size? I believe 128 kb is the most that can pass thru MMS.

I'm rooted with Mr. X stock 2.3.6, and switched around APN's, all with the same results.

Thanks!

I really like the animations from ice cream sandwich and I would like to port them to decks 1.3. I've been Google searching for the past hour and I haven't found anything already done. So could someone point me in the right direction to port the animations over? Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
My only suggestion is, tommytomatoe has ported them into his sense 1.0 rom. You could PM him, or post in one of his threads. He has a few tutorials and guides in the development section, they may already include the mod.

I asked him about it before. I think it had to do with a bin file in systemUI.apk, but I could be remembering wrong.
[EVO 4G General] rocket999:
I have flashed his ROM, that's what made me what the transitions. Ill pm him!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nrbelex:
Hi all - has anyone ever seen a small, distinct black spot in photos and videos coming from the main, rear camera? Pictures attached at various zoom levels - it becomes much more obvious at higher zoom levels, and it doesn't move from the spot it's in. The lens is perfectly clean and appears completely unmarked. This leads me to believe it's either sensor dust, or dust on the back side/ inside the lens. The spot wasn't there when I first got the camera.

Anyway, I'm planning on sending to Samsung to have them fix it under warranty, unless someone's got a better resolution.

Thanks!

Attached photos at 4x, 3x and 1x magnification, with the spot (bottom left) appearing most obvious at 4X.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Definitely looks like crud under your lens. Yeah get that fixed for sure. keep this updated I really would like to know what the hell that is and how it got there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
Either that, or there is damage or defect to the sensor itself. I'd take a good magnifying lens, and inspect it to try to see what's going on in there. Either way, I'd try for a warranty claim.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
It looks like a physical object on top of the cmos sensor itself.

The dimensions are about 0.01 x 0.02 mm (about 1/10th of the human hair width).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Looks like it might need replaced, take it in to a service store if you can, we generally keep a good amount of harvested cameras on hand. It's an easy fix...

If for any reason they don't have any or you don't have any S&R stores nearby, and if you're feeling adventurous enough, we might be able to work something out getting you a camera...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nrbelex:
Thanks all. Samsung's got it, and I believe they're replacing it under warranty. I'll update when I know more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nrbelex:
Just got it back after an unnecessarily protracted time at Samsung in Texas. Looks like they swapped out the camera module. No word on what the exact problem was, but it was repaired under warranty. Also looks like they may have fixed two minor issues I had with the earpiece and speakerphone, though I can't be sure.

Thanks for the advice, all.

I'm using King Kangs Rom build 20 so maybe thats the cause? but when i download the data for PowerVR and put it into Android-> Data.. and install the apk v1.2 it never works.. i open the app (that works) back out of it and go back in but it keeps crashing.. maybe someone could mail me a link to the process they used. thanks!

v1.2+ supports galaxy nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcguinness89:
I'm using version 1.2.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
lol. i hope you're not calling me a liar. v1.2 works with several kernels and roms, you're holding it wrong. some of them kernels use a hacked sdcard binary, which prevent gta from working.

delete /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gtaiii/, reinstall game.

i have v1.3. it's been available for a few, why dont you update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
OP, are you blatantly pirating this app?

A market update would have you on 1.3.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cornstalks:
I've got a Sprint Galaxy S2 and I'd like to get root access to modify a few files. The thing is, I don't want to bring out the big guns and root it and put a bunch of extras on it (all these one click rooting programs always come with something more than just root access). All I want to do is get root access to my phone for a few minutes so I can modify a few system files. After that, I don't need root access, and would even prefer not to have it. I tried zergRush, but it doesn't seam to work for Android 2.3.6 (it told me there were "Hellions with BLUE flames!" :().

I've searched and can't find anything out there that'll grant me root access to my phone without also installing various ROMs/programs/kernels that I don't want. I want everything to be the same on my phone when I'm done except for a system text file or two that I modify. Is there anything like zergRush that works for Android 2.3.6?

(P.S. I'm a programmer by trade so you can speak tech if you like)

I don't know what a Spring Galaxy S 2 is. Do you mean Sprint? i.e. http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281 If so, you're in the wrong place. I'm saying this, because someone will helpfully post instructions on how to root an I9100 otherwise.

[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
All I was reading another forum and came across a post where it was suggested that freezing or deleting AngryGPS would fix the problem of the gps taking so long to lock on.

I froze tbe the app and my lock time went from 5 min. minimum to about 10 seconds. My accuracy was still the 15 ft margin of errror. But it did work and rather quickly. I am not sure what AngryGPS does, except to make us angry :-).
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
The official Gingerbread release fixed the GPS locking issue for me and many other Charge owners. I don't see the point of freezing AngryGPS. Then again, I'm not quite sure what AngryGPS does exactly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
It didn't fix it for me. I was still getting abysmal lock times on offical gb as well as tweakstock.

This fixed it for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
Didn't really make a difference. Maps still sucks at getting locks. The only way I can do it is by opening Speedview first and letting that lock, then opening Maps again
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
Did you reboot the phone after freezing AngryGPS? You need to do that to release and refresh the gps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
What does "freezing" do in TiBu? I have frozen Angry GPS but the .apk is still fully intact in /system/app. Does it simply remove the link to the drawer or actually uninstall it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
Rebooted and happy to report that I got a lock in a decent amount of time (15 seconds or so) only opening Maps. I also only have standalone GPS on and it works fine like that. Will try in another location later tonight and report back
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Just deleted AngryGPS and I haven't been outside yet but I can report that its not working inside a building like Motorolas do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brennanb:
Wow! Sitting in my house froze the app rebooted and it works! Got a lock in 5 seconds. Im impressed! Thanks for the advice.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
Reboot the phone if you haven't already. Some buildings with lots of metal can block gps signals. I can't get a lock in my office, but can in my home.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DKYang:
It took under a minute to lock in at my work. Not bad since I'm in a building.
[Verizon Droid Charge] april5th:
Can someone post to the original thread or explalin what's going on? Just interested in what the fix is.

For those who have found it works. Is it a permanent fix that lasts past other reboots etc?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Sorry I have to say for me atleast the Charge Gps sucks balls. Ive had several, my wife has. We tried several different settings. The Gps Fix program. Our phone takes forever to connect and we try her DX and it connects, even the Xoom I got her driving down the road connects.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hawk03:
Does this only work with rooted phones?

I'd really like to get my GPS lock under 5 minutes.....
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
I'm using Tweakstock rom with EP4D radio and my GPS fixed in matter of second. I'm using seekdroid to track my phone and I test the app everyday and it pickup my phone in 10-15sec remotely from a website. When my phone screen turn off, I have automateit app to turn GPS off too to save battery, but I can re-enable it using automateit text message. Then I can use seekdroid to locate my phone. In my case gps is working fine...and working very well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
When using Google Navigation does it lock just as fast? Or does maps only lock on fast?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Angry GPS is a test software for google map/gps. Here is the info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272141&highlight=gps+google

Turn this off or leave it on should have no impact to your GPS.

If you want to access angrygps, download launcherpro so you can access it and you can see all the test settings.(there're about 10 of them).
[Verizon Droid Charge] april5th:
Have you tried faster fix app from the market? Running rooted gingerbread here and get a a lock in about 10 seconds now. Used be 5+ mins.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Basically, the market apps doing is supply our phone with different gps server location so your phone fine them quicker therefore lockon quicker.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
Fasterfix, GPS Booster, etc... did nothing for my GPS performance, GPSFix did for some time, but it was very sporadic. This did.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
Yes it does.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BattsNotIncld:
Faster fix did it for me. Locks within 10 seconds indoors. Within 5 seconds outdoors.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rememo:
Faster fix never did a thing for me, but freezing AngryGPS worked great.

Thought I'd run it for a few days before posting a thanks. It's working

great... no more waiting 5-10 minutes for a GPS lock. Thanks OP.

Note: I don't use Google navigation. My testing was done while using Waze.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I have had angry gps frozen for a long time with rare gps issues. Sometimes I can't get a timely lock in google maps after having a lock and exiting and re entering maps.

Is there an app that actually keeps a lock ALL the time? Sometimes I use the tracking feature of GPS essentials to maintain locks. G maps pisses me off when it loses lock when multitasking and it wants to relock...
[Verizon Droid Charge] KCP100:
I'm on 2.3.6 and without freezing Angry GPS and sitting inside, I got a lock in maps and navigation in a few seconds, almost instantly. That was with GPS being turned off until I tested it, too.

I just froze Angry GPS and restarted. I don't notice a difference, but if it doesn't need to be running, I'm not going to let it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Are you sure it isn't using Wifi for location? Google Apps use it by default if it's available. Turn off Google location services and see if it's as fast.
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
Hello, most of the time, I have pretty bad signal on my Incredible S, most of the time only 2 out of 4 bars. Will updating the radio help? I'm on 20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M now.
[HTC Incredible S] mohdsubaie:
Make sure your back cover is on properly. If you are using a cover/casing on top that may hamper the signal as well. There is no right thumb rule for radios what works for some need not necessarily work for all.

Generally speaking the radio you have should be alright for Incredible S. Try reflashing it and I won't be too fussed about the number of bars as long as you are getting a signal and it is not dropping off you should be ok. It also depends on your mobile phone operator and what sort of coverage they have.

Hope that helps :)

I recently upgraded from CM7 XRON to Classicnerd ICS and for some reason, I cannot access the USB Storage via CWM or through MTP in ICS.

Hi guys, sorry for my poor english, i'm french, but i will try to do the best i can.

I received my Samsung Galaxy Note yesterday, and i got a big problem to solve, so i hope someone here can help me ...

Since the first boot, i got signal loss issue ... every 10 or 15 seconds, i lost my network, the phone seems to go on offline mode on his own ... This happens if i don't use the connection, if i browse web, or download some apps, no problems, but if i do nothing, the signal go away ...

I tried every Radio here on the forum ... I tried differents roms, and nothing seems to change ...

I also noticed that when i plug the phone in charge, the network is perfect, no signal loss at all ... when i unplugged it ... i start loosing signal again ...

Is that a battery problem ?

I hope someone can help me ... thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppo:
I only received my phone yesterday as well, but I came upon a setting that might be causing your issue. Have a lookg at the "Power Saving" menu: if the battery is below a certain level, it may quickly disable some network functionality. Try using a custom power saving mode, and adjust the specified percentage.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aragorn182:
So, you want to leave the photos on your desktop and browse them through your tablet? I'm not sure an app is what you want. Maybe some kind of web server running on your desktop that you can then browse to from the tablet.

I See my wifi has used 30% of my battery but ive been on 3G all day, does it drain the battery searching for networks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seion:
It does use some power when searching for networks. There is probably an APP or settings that you can change to set the Freq of checks maybe. Or you can just turn of the Wifi radio when you know your not going to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes it uses a lot of power if its regularly searching for networks. Especially if you're moving around and seeing dozens of WiFi spots. Just turn off WiFi when not in use, simple as that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongd:
A lot of custom ROMs have less aggressive Wifi seeking intervals. You can usually set it manually with ease too. Lots of apps out there if you don't want to do it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
All that was said is true, but still I find that 30% usage for Wifi just for searching nearby networks is a little too much... :)

Although I haven't got anything to compare with, I always turn wifi off if I'm not using it during long periods.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:
I leave wifi on all the time as well, and I also only have used 2% of the 70-80% battery I used up already.

Try going into wifi settings, then advanced wifi settings, then turn off the new wifi network available notification option.

This increased my battery life slightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
Y5 - Battery Saver helps out tremendously! I barely ever use more than 2% when home all day...although that may be a bug but I started a thread for that already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
That 30% displayed can be deceptive since it's based on the amount of battery discharged and not entire battery capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Well wifi, when on is looking to connect to known networks. If the signal is weak it will disconnect and connect to another network near by if there is that has better signal. This process does use some battery. The biggest drain will occur when you are actively using wifi, that is when you download or upload. So the best way to save battery, is to close wifi when not needed. If however you want wifi you can set it to never sleep. This way even if the screen goes off wifi will be connected and your device wont use the 3G which is way more power hungry.
