I recently moved house and in between places at the moment so all my tech is packed away in storage. I've been forced to do my day to day work across a combo of Samsung Galaxy SII and my main device Galaxy Tab 10.1

My day 2 day files that I access regular were stored on a Windows Home Server which was connected to a Box Cloud account for stuff I need access to from anywhere, anytime so I am now using the Tab and phone to access this box account that will be re-sync'd once I settle down and re instate my Home Server.

My main Desktop PC is a HP Touch smart running Windows 8 CP so I would still keep that for home media stuff or when absolutely a PC is needed at a moments notice. My only other PC I have is a little book size Asus purely for live HD TV connected to my LED TV and used as a HTPC and DLNA streaming to my android devices but I think once Windows 8 becomes fully rolled out across PC's, tablets and eventually phones.... I will replace the Android devices and I will content that all my devices will be the same baseline OS and all my data completely sync'd across windows live id's.
[General Questions and Answers] jamescraven:
maybe when we can install linux OS on our tablet then that will be the time i will replace my old pc :)
[General Questions and Answers] markbaker.avalon:
On a second note, I thought of something else whilst reading the other posts.... there will always be a need to access windows or Mac full blown applications like Office, outlook etc.... so my plan further down the line was to upgrade the hardware on my Windows Home Server and add a VMWare environment to the mix or a separate box depending on performance and run full blown virtual machines that I can access from anywhere on my android devices using Wyse Pocket cloud app for either remote desktop or VNC access using Google services to access them from anywhere I have a connection which is quite appealing for me....

That means I would pretty much only use my mobile devices full time and have desktop services via virtual machine clients either on android or windows 8 tablets, phones further down the line.
[General Questions and Answers] markbaker.avalon:
Lol....I believe it is possible, I've seen posts mentioning Ubuntu being ran on a galaxy tab 10.1, what I would really like to see would be for someone to get hold of a windows 8 ARM sdk and create an image so I can install it on my android tablet.

Hello.

Because of numerous rom and Kernel flashes my battery behaves erratically.

For example, i am out of battery, my phone died, but when i put it for charging, the battery status indicates 100%.

I have tried clearing the battery stats but no luck there.

How can i solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
Charge full battery and calibrate it with battery calibration from google play
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpyhere:
I can't. I am charging the phone with it off, but it indicates a full charge state. If i try to power it on, after about 1-2 minutes, the phone turns itself off, like when not having enough battery.

I have tried the battery calibration tool, but the problem still persists.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imileimile:
I think you should read this tread regarding MAX17040 chip that is installed in your battery and steps to reset it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312273. If this doesn't work then I'm afraid that your battery is gone and that needs to be replaced.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpyhere:
I have done the indicated steps and i had no luck. :(

I have observed that after charging to full ( 100% ) the phone runs ok until about 93-94%. After this, the phone shuts itself down, and if i try to power it on, the display hangs at the Galaxy S2 screen ( the one with the triangle )

What am i suposed to do?

This happened to me before, and i got over it without much hassle, but now i can;t get past it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Try a different battery? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korado:
or u can look at the beautiful triangle :p

joke

maybe this would help

reboot in cwm,

-factory/data reset

-cache reset

-in advanced menu dalvik cache reset and battery stat reset

-in mount and storage menu format system

-flash custom rom,

-when done ( do not restart system ) do a factory/data reset and battery stat reset again

i know, i can see irony in my advice but can't think of anything else
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Try charging it for a while, just to make sure it is actually 100%, then pull the battery and wait 2-3 mins. Plug it back in should be good to go, works every time for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Battery calibration apps/methods are rubbish/placebo & do absolutely nothing. Save your time/money.

2) Sounds like the battery is cactus to me. Time for a new one.

[General Questions and Answers] daveg01:
I am trying to figure out how to stop the audio notification that is played when my samsung intercept connects to the network. I work in a heavily shielded building which can cause my phone to lose connectivity several times per hour.

I have searched everything I can think of (forums, google, etc) and I have not found a solution.

My first thought was to simply replace the media file. As far as I can tell this notification does not use a standard media file (ogg, mp3).

Most media files are located here:

system\media\audio

I searched for (then played) every media file on the device and was not able to find it.

Does anyone know how to turn this sound off. Note, you cannot access this setting through standard menus.

I have seen many similar posts for other devices and no solutions.

I know a little c#. Can someone point me in the right direction about how to identify and/or resolve this?

[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
So let me start off by saying I've used both stock Gingerbread, and ICS probably about equal time each so I'm used to the signal behaviours of each.

My signal was always bad where I am at University and all of my flat mates had great signal (3G, HSPDA). I took my phone in for repair and they replaced the main board, they also reinstalled Gingerbread, even though I had already S-ON'd unbranded etc etc.

My signal was great and I could use my phone properly again, internet everywhere and it was amazing.

Now I have my new SD card and I've just rerooted S-OFF'd etc and now my signal is playing up. I thought well hey if ICS is coming out soon why not just install it now anyway, because if my signal is bad on ICS i'll know it.

My question is what is your signal like since upgrading to ICS, if you have that is. I'm averaging 2/5 bars of HSPDA whereas before I was getting 2/4 HSPDA, and the overall loading is slower.

I'm running latest Insert Coin with the firmware from the user-friendly firmware thread.

Any help/tips or insight on the matter is greatly appreciated, also this is my first post so I'm sorry if I missed something.

tl;dr, since upgrading to ICS signal is crap, what's your signal like if you run ICS.

Edit 1: Done some things and found stuff out.

It seems to be for sure that ICS is to blame for this, although I'm getting weird results. I installed the ROM from MrT's (I think that was his name) and my signal did improve slightly, from 0-2 asu up to 6-8 asu, although it still fluctuates. I've tried ARHD and IC both have bad signal (definitely NOT the developers fault I was just saying).

I am gonna try the OTA next and see what the difference is. I mustn't be the only person who has much worse signal on ICS. There is zero point reverting to S-ON and going to GB, because we'll all be getting ICS this week or next anyway.

Will keep thread update in case anyone else has similar issues that they wish to fix.

Edit 2: I reverted to stock GB and then used the OTA file so now I'm at official stock ICS untouched. The signal is improved although still not as good as GB. I will wait until the release and see if I receive another update and then edit the OP again.
[HTC Sensation] carlowise:
I also have bad reception and voice calls bad sound on ICS , I didn't use gb so I can't know the difference but on ics is crapy
[HTC Sensation] invisiblewave:
Bought mine used, and the seller had just s-offed it. Ever since I've had it, all radio reception has been terrible in comparison to my N1, the worst being bluetooth, closely followed by wifi. Cell/data reception is acceptable but still not as good as the N1. I've just ordered a "new" back cover from Ebay in the hope that it's a hardware/antenna issue, I have reason to believe it might be based on the erratic nature of the bluetooth problems.

Should have mentioned first, I'm not running a 4.0 rom yet, I've been flipping between the original T-Mobile Sense g/b rom and CM7. Bluetooth's bad on both, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that wifi is better on the Sense rom, although that might be my imagination.
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
Thanks for your replies guys.

I will try installing the OTA file, maybe it has something different to the firmware and ROM I am using, it's worth a try anyway.

It's also worth noting that signal does go down upon picking up the phone into my hand. Right now it has 3/5 HSPDA but when I pick it up in my hand, 5 inches higher than it was, the signal drops to 1/5.
[HTC Sensation] carlowise:
I changed firmware to 3.32 and it's little beter now. I think it's radio software problem
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
Yeah I'm using 3.32 but it's actually worse. I've tried a few different versions I've found around the forum and they're all the same. Signal is fine when not being used but goes down when I use it or hold it in my hand.

I hope the official OTA is not like this or I will have to send it in for repairs again or get a new phone altogether.
[HTC Sensation] themaster33:
Mine is bad in ics too. It was ok. at gb.
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
Thanks for sharing, how much worse is it? For example with me I used to get about 7-10 asu in network section of settings, now its 0-2.

I guess I will try to cope until it is officially out for the Sensation in the UK and then after I can go into the shop and send it in for repair (second time).
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
I have the same problem before I used to get 2-3megabytes on speed test and now I'm getting half a megabyte and from the same place in my room where I used to have full 4 bars now I have 4/5 bars and I can't even buffer YouTube video
[HTC Sensation] bigears5000:
I have to say that my reception is worse on ICS. I was using gingerbread on sensation, from new, for about a month before I made any changes to my phone (root, s-off etc.) I would get a constant full 4 bar reception, it would never drop. Now on ICS, signal strength flits between 3 and 4 bars frequently, sometimes dropping to 2 or even 1 very ocassionaly. It is pretty annoying.
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
YES. i am experiencing the same exact problem. i have to say ics has been pretty disappointing. my signal in my room used to be 1-3 with an average of 2. Now its the same, but wit frequent drops to 0. Cmon. crappy browser, bad signal, isnt this supposed to be final version? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Audrian:
ok my receiption is worse at my office.. Not only worse can describe but i kinda suffer cuz of my connection. I think its related to the radio and i should try another one cuz its really annoying
[HTC Sensation] kenzhin:
im on ics, suffered the same fate, maybe this is due to DEATH GRIP?
[HTC Sensation] bigears5000:
Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but it is definitely not due to death grip with me. I can just leave the phone stationary, not even touching it and I can see the signal strength bars going up and down. I would really like to know what is causing it. I used to have perfect signal on Gingerbread.
[HTC Sensation] kenzhin:
i just wish its the ICS problem... i really love the phone, but im a little bit dissapointed as what i see on the google regarding death grip.
[HTC Sensation] ggleb:
Same problem in my S2. I'm in a place which is like a Faradays cage, so signal fluctuates from 0 to 4. My new phone improved performance a lot because signal was fluctuating more quickly. I thought it was the hardware, I was very happy, but after updating to ICS it happened again. I think it's a kind of watchdog for signal, which is slower in ICS than GB. So should be a way to speed it. I decided to go back to GB but I can't: factory reset doesn't return phone to 2.3.5

I got this Walkman app from a rom (I can't remember which one). But I can't seem to find anything like it.

Can anyone tell me if its the original app or a mod or a miui or something?

I've attached the apk if you want to see it for yourself. But it can't be installed from the SD card normally. I have to put it in /system/app of my rom and flash it for the app to work. I don't know if its a permission thing but kudos if you could figure it out.

Also, the interesting thing about this app is that it can choose from my music library when I set my ringtones or alarms. I haven't seen any other app that can do this.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
I could be wrong, but isn't that the Walkman app out of the W8/E16 ROM?

It came from xgin 5.4 and lower he was the 1st to give it to the public of this forum
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertrono:
Does this mean its the original walkman app? and not just some miui o mod? And if it is the original walkman app, has there been any update to it? As I said its a decent music player unfortunately the look of its UI is quite outdated.

I think it could have really came from xgin since there was an issue with the "originality" of GingerXperia a few months ago, if I remember correctly.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saipro:

UPDATE:

I tried the app from the link and unfortunately I don't think its a version of the app. The UI is quite different and it also doesn't have the option to choose from my music library in setting ringtones or alarms. It also had fewer options like the shake to skip. So the hunt continues :D
