[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
It seems to be an issue with the flashing process as far as echo goes...easy does it, my DD has no echo...actually while many people have reported that among other bugs the only one I have is the reboot hang...which really...tough **** I have to hold the power button down the few times I need to turn it off lol. Oddly though it does not hang if I reboot into recovery from rom manager.

Ics is really weird...everyone is getting different bugs following the same install process. I'm guessing some of our devices are more willing to adapt to the skyrocket kernel than others...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] retrofred:
Well before I went on vacation Tuesday I was playing around with a few of the different ics that are there for tmo gs2 and found that a lot of issues went away when I unmounted the SD card. The camera had no problem and I didn't notice any echoed sound. Kind of strange but one thing I noticed that a lot of native ics devices don't have external SD cards. Might be something for devs to look at.

Rather than start another thread, while perusing the amaze forum I stumbled.upon info on CM9..

According to this https://plus.google.com/106544349933037831956/posts/4Lpyw9bPBCq

Which is the Google+ page of the dev in charge of maintaining CM9 on the amaze, no cyanogen dev is currently.working on our device. Sad to see but figured I'd share for those ccurious

Another problem among the ics roms is that the vibration is weak and a little unresponsive.

Really big issue as I have my phone on vibrate a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] Giap:
I have flashed DKv4 two days ago. Everithing is OK, except some minor issues. However when I open "Text-to-speech output" settings, I find the message: google text-to-speech engine has stopped. The same message appears when I open Maps, Alarmdroid, other.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I read in the DKv4 thread that others have the same problem and that google TTS may be uninstalled to avoid it.

I would like to ask whether uninstalling google TTS can affect other voice functions. Can replace it for another TTS apk? Or simply download a new version of google TTS and reinstall it?http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Thanks

And a particular acknowledgment to the terrific work of Nasif!http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xemaniac:
Yes, I have searched the forum but only found old posts, nothing pertaining to ICS about this.

I've had this problem since 2.3, and it's kinda annoying.

When I press the unlock button it takes around 2sec for the phone to wake-up.

I thought this was supposed to be fixed in the verisons after 2.3, and now I have 4.0.3 and it's still present.

Anyone else have this problem?

Is it a Google or Samsung problem. Can it be remedied?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decodex:
dose it happens by pressing home button ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xemaniac:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidsgs23:
I have same problem with any stock or custom rom and is verry annoying.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
It's normal. I use CM 9 and I'll hit the home button on my sleeping phone now...and it took around 1 second to wake up.

There isn't anything you can do about it.

As Riz said last month, would you rather your phone deep sleep & conserve battery when you're not using it & take a second to wake up or would you rather have a permanent wakelock & resultant battery drain in order to have it wake up in a few tenths of a second ?

I mean, we are talking about a second here. Not half a minute or something.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
Yay! You got a new sig!

It always makes me wonder what people expect with these threads....it's like when you wake a pc up - it isn't instantaneous...and is a second really too long to wait?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yeah I couldn't resist ;-)

Yep you're right. People do expect too much sometimes, as you said, how long does a PC take to wake up from hibernation ? Phone takes no time in comparison.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ellisbodds:
Okay, so after having tried out pretty much everything on my HD2, I've concluded:

You can't do much in WP7 besides the built-in functionality, and there are no apps for it

ICS isn't fast/stable enough yet due to lack of proper hardware acceleration

Sense 3.x is the same as ICS

I might upgrade to the Sensation

Meanwhile, I want to use something that's stable and fast, and based on Sense 2.x with Android 2.3. What do people think are my best options?

Thanks :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:

And before somebody flames us, we are not lazy (right, ellisbodds? :D) but we want those who tried lots of ROMs (sense 2 with gingerbread). We seek their advice.

Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ellisbodds:
Exactly, I've tried out loads of ROMs myself, just not many Sense 2 ROMs. So if someone posted asking what the best Sense 3.5 ROM might be, I would answer them. :p

I think the fastest/most stable, are the AOSP roms. Like cyanogen, nightlies, those are amazing. And they have a lovely small system partition size allowing for more user data.

running 4.0.4 foxhound. 28/mar

not that kernel matters but thats franco 121 nightly

contacts do not show up.

and i dont show up for people...

i used to have to get people to message me first, but now people are saying i dont even appear in their list anymore... so i can only chat with people who i already have a convo opened with !

does anyone use whatsapp and get the same bug/error ?

can i suggest a full wipe, if reinstallation of the app give no effect?

did u tried uninstall/install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
WhatsApp works fine... only gripe I have with it is it doesn't have the capability on Androids to only show one checkmark instead of 2 when a message has not been read yet.

iPhones have this capability, and as far as I know, blackberries do too...

but oh well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milander:
Actually the Android version has the mentioned capability too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
uhhhh.... it does do that on android too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Uhhhh, no it doesn't. Send a message to an Android phone. It gives you two checkmarks straight away, even if the person hasn't read it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
No, I've contacted support on this, they say that's by design with no plans in changing it. It gives two checks right away even though you haven't read it yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
I can confirm the single check mark is very much a feature in the android version.. turns to two when read. you might think it doesn't if the person you're messaging is reading the message instantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
Attached message sent to gnexus running stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
With all due respect, I think you guys are missing something here... I've already spoken to support and the 2 checkmark issue effects only sending a message to Android phones only. A screenshot does not do anything as I have no idea what kind of phone the recipient has.

1. If THE RECIPIENT has an Android phone and a message is sent to them, you will see 1 checkmark instantly, followed by the second checkmark a second later, regardless of if they read it or not. The only time it will not show the second checkmark is if the recipient phone is OFF.

2. If THE RECIPIENT has an iPhone, it will show one checkmark until the person reads it. According to support, this is caused by the way iPhone's handle the messages.

I've already had an email conversation with WhatsApp Support/Developers about this issue, and they effectively recognize the issue as Android's handle the notifications differently than iPhones.

So if your phones do it as intended (Recipients are Androids), then you obviously know something the actual Developers don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
I just told you the recipient has a galaxy Nexus. even now, the double check mark hasn't shown up since he's probably sleeping. why would I lie about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Ok thats the whole point... he may be sleeping with the phone off....

Listen... it BLATENTLY states what I am trying to say in:

www.whatsapp.com/faq under "What are those green checkmarks next to my messages"

"We are glad you asked. These green checkmarks are actually very important since they function as message delivery acknowledgement indicators. Here is what they mean:

One checkmark - message successfully delivered to the server.

Two checkmarks - message successfully deliverd to the device of the chat partner.

(note: this does not indicate that the message was read, just that it was delivered

"

Not much more I could say to that. After speaking to the developers, they have no plans on changing this, and the reason why iPhones function that way is because of the way iPhones handle messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
it means, his galaxy nexus doesn't have connection now (3g/wifi disabled, or phone off)

if the phone was on, and the 3g/wifi was enabled, u will see the 2 green marks right after the 1 green mark..i can confirm u this

also when a user receive the message in the background, he can open the notification or not (or also he can have the phone in the pocket and not unlocking it), thats why it doesn't mean the message is read..android can receive the message even if the phone is in standby with screen off, this doesnt happen on the iphone i think

will be nice if in the future they add a third green mark to indicate the message is read
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
that's a fair explanation. would you also mind sharing the email conversation with their support to confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
If I still have it, sure. I'm not at home right now, but i'll check my inbox when i get home.

It was a while ago though.

Fact remains, you could test this yourself... as I did, with my Galaxy Nexus, My Wife's SGS2, and my friends iCrap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I'm confused. Are you sending GNex to Android or iOS? Either way... I'm pretty sure the recipient has to be in the WhatsApp app (or at least have it active) to see the double checkmark. I can confirm sending to iOS will only show a two checkmarks ONLY if they have read it/in the main app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Do the same when sending to an Android and it will show 2 checkmarks right away

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I have seen a few threads about calibrating the battery, and I downloaded an app on the market, but I don't want to run it yet until i get some questions answered.

Is there a way that is better than others? Does calibrating the battery help with battery life, or what is the purpose?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
Battery calibration does nothing. A google employee even confirmed that battery stats are only used for keeping track of what is using your battery (which it does not do very well IMO). So deleting them and discharging the battery then rebooting and all that other crap only wastes time.

As for fully draining and recharging the battery to calibrate it... in short it does much more harm than good. Older Ni-Cad batteries used to have a 'memory' of sorts. if you did not fully discharge them from time to time they would act dead when they wernt.

The batteries in our phones (and most newer electronics) are Lithium-Ion (and in some newer phones Lithium-Polymer). these batteries have no 'memory'. in fact discharging them all the way is very bad for them, and can actually cause the battery to rupture if its done too extreme (you would have to short the terminals for this to happen)

The reality of this is that the less you let your battery discharge, the longer it will last. Every time you let it drain all the way (or almost all the way) you are harming it and reducing its lifetime.

The best way to take care of your phone's battery is to try to keep it between 50% and 80% full. Even keeping the battery fully charged for very long periods of time can be just as bad as discharging it fully.

TL;DR: get rid of that app, and dont ever think about doing any battery calibration ever again.

Cool man, thanks...I'll skip on the calibration.

I paired my Vivid with the BT in my laptop no problem.

[Nokia Lumia 900] uptempo777:
I really like the way the bumper for the Nokia Lumia 900 looks. Protects the sides and corners of the phone and takes up less space than a full-blown silicon case. It's $20 though through AT&T. Would make a great accent to your phone if you but the black or white Lumia.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 937dytboi:
I put it on my phone to try it out. Didn't like it like it because it didn't raise the phone up the protect the chrome price around the camera. I opt for a full case in which I like
[Nokia Lumia 900] falconeight:
The bumper is cheaply made and covers the hard keys on the side with rubber. I absolutely hate that.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jkkw:
liked mine

liked mine, it's much better than a case - a case hides too much of the beauty of the phone. I paired my bumper with a full body Zagg protector, so the chrome on the back is fully covered up. The zagg protector also has a nice feel to it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
will probably be doing the same if i get this phone
[Nokia Lumia 900] adiliyo:
i originally didn't like that it covered the keys, but i actually find them easier to use with the bumper on, but i do wish it raised the back of the phone up just a little bit to protect the camera strip.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
it also prevents dust from getting in the phone :)

Sorry about the bad pics. Used my old trusty HD7.

I also grabbed the full body Zagg Shield, but haven't installed it yet. Not sure if I will...
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
It it is the one in store the dry zagg, don't bother. The wet one goes all the way around the sides to the screen. The dry one has an annoying rough texture and only comes a little ways up the sides.

nice pictures! thanks for uploading them, the bumper looks great
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
Hmm.. it is the dry one. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks! Not a problem! Yes, the bumper looks great on the phone, but I probably wont be using it much seeing how it doesnt protect the camera lense in the back... or the entire back for that matter.
[Nokia Lumia 900] provenflipper:
+1 on the Gel case. I got one for mine and its easily the best gel skin i've ever place on a phone. Can't even tell its there.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
Ditto. Its super thin and feels exactly like the Polly-carbonate that the phone is made of. PLUS it raises the lens off the surface when you have it laying flat.
[Nokia Lumia 900] baboss:
I'm digging my black gel case. It protects the back of the phone nicely.

Is anyone else having an issue with the top of the gel case not allowing the USB cable to insert fully and make good contact?

Sometimes I have to fiddle with it a bit to make contact and intiate the sync or charge.

i love how you can make the phone stand straight up without it falling since the bottom is flat lol
[Nokia Lumia 900] uptempo777:
I have the black Nokia Lumia 900. How does the cyan gel skin look on it? I'm thinking about getting that combo.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
I didn't want to use a case but decided it was a good idea considering the polycarbonate likes to slide easily, meaning out of my pocket etc...

The gel case is great. They did a great job with covering the buttons, very important for anyone who has had their device fouled up by crap getting in there. The gel case which covered the power button on my SGSII made the button very hard to press, but the Lumia case is much better in that regard.

I was seriously surprised at how little bulk it added to the phone. It integrates perfectly IMO.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
I also have that problem. But just a slight wiggle of the cord anit fits fine.

I too am waiting to buy one of these. It's currently sold out at At&t though :/
[Nokia Lumia 900] uptempo777:
I concur to this. I don't have a case yet and it already slid out of my pocket and nicked a couple of the corners. I thought I also scratched the glass but luckily I was able to rub out the scuffs and it's smooth still. whew!

I need to find something soon!
[Nokia Lumia 900] jmerrey:
I think the gel case is just about the perfect case. Retains the lines and visuals of the phone, while still protecting the corners and camera bezel. A steal at 20 bucks...
[Nokia Lumia 900] MrGreencastle:
Can anyone post a photo of their phone with the bumper?

I live in Canada, so I'm not sure if the case is available here. Would love to know if there's any online retailers that also sell it!

I absolutely love the black Nokia gel case I bought with my black Lumia 900. It is not sticky at all, which is what I was worried about with a gel case. It also fits on the phone so perfectly, my charger cable, headphones port, and buttons all work great. People don't even know the phone has a case on it at all.
[Nokia Lumia 900] uptempo777:
Is this the Nokia-branded one from the AT&T store or from somewhere else like the Microsoft Store?

It's from the At&t store. Microsoft stores sell the Incipio ones. Which, I believe, are silicone. Pure dust magnets.

I didn't like mine either - it really detracted from the phone's looks, IMHO. Intuitively, it shouldn't have...but it did. When I returned my cyan phone to AT&T due to the sift key hardware issue, AT&T let me return the bumper for full credit, which I did happily. I'll be waiting for a more elegant solution, but until then, I have the sticker based protectors on the screen and back.
