[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taszlan:
I seem to have an unusual SGS problem...

My music player plays mp3's via headphones only while using stock rom. I've tried stock, branded 2.3.6, newest MIUI and Darky 10.2 (a bit earlier: Cyanogenmod). In every single one the music player stops playing mp3's and system sounds via headphones just after flashing. Music plays normally on stock, kernels don't seem to make a difference.

Has anyone come across such problem? Googling doesn't seem to help...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter_dizai:
Chance .....?

Well you should Start checking several things and after that the SOLUTION appears.

1-First upgrade your SGS to latest official android which is 2.3.6.

Find a firmware which you can root easily.

2-After flashing completed and before booting the operating system enter CWM.

3-Do not Factory Reset,simply Wipe Dalvik Cache & Battery Status.

4-Download custom ICS 4.0.3 RC 3 firmware for SGS from:

http://www.hlusoe.info:5000/hotfile/141757929/hlusoe.info_ICS_4.0.3_r1-RC3-I9000.zip

After Flashing finished,check and report back.

<<<Good LUCK>>>

I'm not so eager to install an ICS ROM in unstable state. Do you think this would solve problems with installing MIUI? Is this a bug fixed by ICS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taszlan:
I'm reviving this thread after almost a year, but since my sgs started getting slower and slower, and the ICS roms started getting more and more stable I decided to flash a custorom once again...

So far I've tried flashing:

-CM 10.0

-Paranoid Android 2.54

-[jOP40D] OFICIAL ANDROID 4.2.1 <RC2>

-CM 7.1

None of those roms solves my problem - the loudspeaker doesn't work (most of the time). When I try to play music or sound an alarm I can hear silent white noise, as if the loudspeaker was powered on, but nothing more. Interestingly the loudspeaker works perfectly normal when I try to use it during a call.

The loudspeaker works perfectly normal on stock rom installed using this guide, both rooted and unrooted. It also works on this 2.3.6 rom, rooted and unrooted.

Before flashing I restored to 2.3.5 via odin (1.82 and 3.07), I followed guides as closely as possible. Usually I flashed roms using cwm. I tried changing as many sound related settings on each of those roms as possible - the whole testing process took me about 2 days.

Does anybody have an idea what to try next?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] n0stalgia:
Coming from the Captivate, I was shocked at how unnecessarily large everything was rendered on such a large screen. I guess that's what comes with having the same resolution but a much larger screen. To me, it is unlivable and I really have to lessen the the DPI--but to what?

So, what are everyone's favorite DPI settings and why? (Preferably with screenshots)

EDIT: I forgot to add the poll! Agh

240 (HDPI - default)

210

205

200

ICS, 200dpi

Hello.

I tried several configurations, I am at 200 dpi currently and I feel it is ok

160 is very nice as well, but the keyboard gets too small and it is hard with my big fingers to work with it.

Just try one after another, use it for 1 or 2 days and you will discover the best for you. Start with a Big one, about 240 and then go down.

Please know that using the calculator, phone dialer or stock samsung email with different DPI configurations is a mess!!!! You should find the AOSP versions of email other apps, and try the different versions of dialers so you use the full screen after you change the dpi setting.

Also, consider TouchWiz is bad out of the box, changing the DPI makes it worst.

Use a custom launcher to get rid of that.

Saw a Galaxy Note today, and I think TouchWiz is good on it, but not in the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:

206. This is the natural DPI for the phone. If you measure the screen size (the 4.5 inches) and divide the area of the screen by the pixels you will get that value.

See the phone profile on gsmarena.com for more details. Basically it is what I think it should ship with rather than the 240 or really tiny 160.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lunchbox201:

Rom Toolbox lets you set any dpi.

Two questions:

1) I am new to the Skyrocket; on my previous phone (Atrix) when you changed launchers you had to clear out the homescreen to save memory. Do you have to do this also on TW?

2) How can I install the no background google search bar like you have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SolsticeZero:

Hey guys I was reading this thread, I'm new to xda but not to Android akd havent done too much editing to my skyrocket except for rooting it and freezing the horrible bloatware. I wanted to try the dpi adjustment in the build.prop screen via root explorer but others recommended the market apps for roms.

If Im not using a ics custom rom but the "official" stock ics build should i still use he market app or do the build.prop method. Also I'm thinking about 206 dpi but wanted to know if there is a significant gain visually other than some more room on the screen. Do pictures look better etc....

Stock ICS Launcher

There are a few versions of the Stock ICS Launcher available on the Play Store/Market for download

I believe "Apex Launcher" may be something you want, or "Nova Launcher" do a search for both or either

For a comparison - Google "Apex vs Nova Launcher" and click the first link

Alternatively, you can get the Trebuchet, the stock ICS Launcher from CyanogenMod 9, I have attached the zip file that you should flash with Clockwork Recovery, I think Trebuchet is the fastest, but I just use stock Sony Ericsson Home and so haven't really looked into it

*BARE THIS IN MIND*

When using any launcher other than Sony Ericsson Stock, certain widgets will become unavailable, such as the music widget and the Timescape addon, as well as maybe other things - this is what stops me from switching from stock home

Hope I helped :D

- Jack :)

*EDIT*

For Xperia S apps and widgets, take a look at this thread, it says Arconium v7 but it's likely to work on any stock based roms - I personally cannot guarantee this although you should be fine :)

I am having major problems trying to tether my iPad off of my Razr maxx. Prior to this I had a rooted Droid X and I used the "Wireless Tether" app which worked flawlessly (but slow on 3g).

I rooted my Razr Maxx soon after receiving it without issue using the motofail method. I have tried to get my iPad to connect using: Foxfi, Open Garden, Barnacle, and even used TiBu to bring back my old "Wireless Tether" app that I had on my Dx and none of these work. The tethering apps recognize the ipad as connecting. At best the ipad will recognize the network and show that it is connected but I will not be able to surf.

I've tried rebooting the phone between installs of the apps. Uninstalling and reinstalling the tethering apps. Playing with the ipad (wifi, airplane mode on and off, forgetting networks and reconnecting). I've tried running the apps with WEP, WPA networks and at times no security.

On the barnacle log I see: DHCP: Failed to parse ---numbers and letters--- for brncl_dhcp_dns2 and then NAT: Could not set MTU of rmneto: Invalid argument. Not sure what that means????

Someone on another forum recommended trying to Freeze the stock wifi hotspot app. I tried that and it did not work.

This is killing me. My wife has an unrooted Charge and gets her iPad to connected flawlessly with Foxfi. The only thing I haven't tried is unrooting my phone and running Foxfi?? Any thoughts? I've been at this all day and still have not gotten it to work.

Which one will have better development support is hard to say. Basically I think, it depends of which is going to be sell better. Will the Galaxy Tab be retired or is it going to be sold along with the Tab 2 Plus?

If I had to buy one, I would probably buy the Tab 2: cheaper and it already has ICS. The extra .2 Ghz is worth only if you use demanding apps (games) and even so, may be is not that bad (the Tab 10.1 has 1Ghz processor).
