[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
from what i can see, speed dialling is in all ics roms - its in mine

open your dialler - menu button - speed dial settings
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrezz:
Ya it's in lightning rom . Was not in most of the other rom's I tried though. It's a Bumpy ics road at the moment. My brother had the right idea in sitting back & waiting for things to settle down. Checkrom was the perfect balance between design & functionality for me on GB. I'm looking forward to V7.
[LG Optimus Black] Lascaille:
I have a Samsung GS2 (with 2.3.3) and I just got a P970 which I upgraded to (2.3.4) for use with a foreign SIM.

I didn't do much research and thought 'they're both Android GB, they'll be the same' - ho ho. Had a bit of a fight with the p970 but eventually got all my apps etc installed so it's very similar to my GS2 which is what I want... Not that the GS2 way of doing things is particularly better I just want them both to be usable in exactly the same way to avoid frustration.

I've noticed some things that I really want to fix:

1. The GS2 leaves wifi on all the time, whether it is asleep or not. I want this because I use push email with K9. The p970 turns the wifi off when the phone is asleep - so K9 uses mobile data for email, which is a pain. I used titaniumbackup to move the K9 install and settings from the GS2 to the p970 - I also later removed it and installed it through the market. No difference. Can I force wifi on while the phone is asleep?

2. The scroll feel of the p970 was very light with no friction - pages scrolled on forever gradually coming to a stop. I managed to fix that (removed the lgscroller in the build.prop) but the p970 has a 'glow' effect when you try to scroll beyond the end of a list (the list doesn't move any more, the bottom of the list glows blue) whereas the GS2 has this 'elastic' effect (you can scroll the list right off the screen but it moves at half speed and springs back into place when you let go.) Can I replace this somehow?

3. In Dolphin HD, the GS2 scroll snaps to axes - if I scroll vaguely vertically, it knows I mean 'scroll vertically'. The P970 interprets anything other than a very deliberate vertical scroll as meaning 'scroll diagonally'. It's a pain. What on earth causes this?

4. The included mms.apk is crap. Can't insert contacts as plaintext? I want the GS2 mms.apk - I tried to adb install it but it failed on dependencies. Is it possible? I am using Handcent on the p970 now after trying Go SMS, tbh not really liking ether.

Apart from all that it's fine albeit a bit slow. Biggest gripe is the positioning of the unlock button.

Any advice?
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
I really don't know the others, but for #1 you go to settings>wireless>wi-fi settings>advance[press menu button the square one]>wi-fi sleep policy there you can choose to never sleep
[LG Optimus Black] Lascaille:
Thanks for that, didn't even know there was a submenu to the wifi menu. Wifi now remains on regardless!
[LG Optimus Black] verszipo:
#2 you would have to install a Cyanogen ROM, there you can choose what to happen when you scroll past the end of the list (Glow, Bounce or Glow+Bounce). The official Rom (and those built on it) don't support changing the way the "scroll past end of list" animation, it's only present in ROMs built on Cyanogen (for example the MIUI one).

Now, i don't know how stable the Cyanogen ROMs are, you'll have to read about it in the forum and decide if it's worth it for you or not.

#3 i saw that the Optimus Black interprets pressing/dragging on the screen a little different from other phones, probably comes from the way LG implemented the digitizer interface, i don't think you can change that (i very often drag icons on the launcher instead of starting the apps even though i do the exact same movement as i do on my Samsung Spica and there i never had this problem).

#4 the applications bundled with the SG2 have dependencies on libraries on the phone, you would have to also copy the files from /system/lib the problem is that you can't just copy all the files since many will be present on both phones but with different version and dependencies.

You would probably have to experiment by adding different libs and seeing if it works or not.

I tried only once to port and app and after several hours i got to a point where the lib required by the app was already present on the phone but a different version, i tried adding the other version which crashed many of the already existing apps so i gave up :)
[LG Optimus Black] Lascaille:
Thanks for that - I understand the Cyanogen ROM isn't stable yet (?) so I'll wait a bit before trying that... need the thing usable as a phone, can't keep bricking it!

For the last point, is there a way to identify from the APK which libraries it's looking for? Something like the 'ld' command in Linux?

bluetooth locked

hello everybody!

I can't use bluetooth.

I open settings, open wireless and network settings, tap bluetooth, enter access bluetooth settings, tap make discoverable, (untap make discoverable then), but:

1.) I can't scan for devices: tap and press but nothing happened,

2.) I can't modify my device name, I have one, but can't rename,

3.) I have a long list of bluetooth devices discovered but not paired, but I never allowed, and

4.) I can't remove these devices from my Bluetooth pairing list:

when I press and hold on the name of the device I want to remove, applications close and get out from settings.

5.) I can't discover and pair my bluetooth headset.

Get out the baterry, get out SIM, get out micro sd: not working!

I have 2 same smartphones. the another optimus black in working very well, including the same headset.

can you advise me, please?

thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Is it on another ROM maybe? If so, which one do you use? Or did you maybe restore a backup of another phone? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] delilahd:
Guys

I was wondering if anyone could help please? I have a HTC hero that was lost and has now been found, I have had the IMEI number taken off the blocked list however I cannot get any coverage to the Vodafone network. Everything else is working fine on the phone however when I check in my simcard app under Vodaphone plus it is saying MMI code cancelled and I have no idea why or what to do about it. I am hoping someone can either give me a nice little code that kicks it back to life or can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] faZevoLv:
Your sim card may have been de-activated due to you not using it in a while, not sure though, try using a different sim card on vodafone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] donavan01:
First of all sorry if this is the wrong place for this and also sorry this is not exactly a post for the P500. I am here asking for help with developing a kernel that will work for the P505 (Pheonix) and the P506 (Thrive) which are nearly clones of the P500. A group of us over and androidcentral.com have been trying to come up with a working kernel that we can use to patch over top of the P500 ROM's due to some screwiness with the video when the ROMs are loaded and ran directly. We had a .32 kernel developed for us but the developer and the community had a falling out when he was asked for his source code and refused to give it. So I am trying to undertake compiling a kernel for our group but due to the lack of good documentation and the hit or miss nature of the search results I get back I'm still left somewhat in the dark. I have tried talking with people on IRC to get a better idea of what is needed but I always get conflicting answers. We have the stock source code for our kernel/ROM (2.3.4) but we are lacking in good documentation and expertise on how to go about modifying this source code to work with the P500 Cyanogen or MIUI builds. As the P500 roms were orginally ported from another phone (if my understanding is correct) I am assuming that someone in here would have the knowledge needed to help us get over this hurdle. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope this isn't too far off topic as to upset the Moderator.

Use dr. ketan's list to get firmware for your device. In theory it's best to use the one that came with your phone - but honestly, every other should work. Choose one from directly rootable according to location/carrier your phone came from.

Could you tell me what could cause a phone to get stuck at factoryfs.img? Also my galaxy note can only mount to USB storage from clockworkmod, if I mount sdcard, it won't show up on the computer. So only USB storage can be seen in computer. Does this mean the sdcard is dead? Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McLiarpants:
Does anyone know, is it possible to pull the file TB creates of an app and install the app without TB?

I checked on my OG Droid and the file TB creates ends in .apk.gz. Can I just remove the .gz and install the .apk?

Anyone try this?

My Prime doesn't have Wifi (because I broke it) and I'm trying to find a way to install my apps without a data connection (I don't have TB installed on the Prime since I also do not have root access).

Any help would be appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
have you tried restoring your Wifi by reinstalling .21 update via the SD card....or installing the apps you want via SD card?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McLiarpants:
I have tried re-installing .21 from the SD card. It fails because my wpa_supplicant files are bad (the ones I changed accidentally).

I'm not sure how else to install the apps from the SD card except from what I have from TB. That's why I'm wondering if its possible to do. I'm not sure what TB does with the .gz ending of the file though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keonikapila:
The .gz file is gzip compressed...there are a number of applications that can uncompress and extract the .apk, then you can just load the .apk onto your prime

In windows I use 7-Zip to handle gzip files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hceuterpe:
First of all...how did you break your WiFi??!!:eek::eek::eek:

Anywho. Just as someone else said, use 7-zip. It easily supports gzip. It's one of my favorite open source software releases available natively for Windows. No reason (imo) to use anything else.

I'm surprised TB is actually gzipping your apk files. apk format derived from jar. JAR files are compressed (and are actually derived from zip). gzip and zip both use the Deflate algorithm, so unless I'm mistaken on the apk incorporating data compression, using gzip seems like a stupid idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
iF YOU ARE JUST ROOTED, not unlocked, then load a clean.15 via sd card....that should clear the wpa files....THEN apply .21 via sd card.....there is a thread somewhere here that talks about that particular issue

Bob
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgosnell:
Titanium Backup lets you select the format to use - no compression, LZO, gzip, or bzip2. It uses whichever you select. If you select no compression, then none of the files are compressed - not the .apk, not the data, or any of the rest of the backups. You may still get some compression of the .apk, and using gzip doesn't take enough extra time to notice. Gzip is a Linux compression format, commonly used for backups, as is bzip. That's why it's in Android - Android is just Linux modified for small touchscreens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McLiarpants:
Thanks everyone! I'll be sure to unzip them and try it out.

Bob, unfortunately, I'm already on .21. You can't downgrade firmware versions without being unlocked. ICS wont even recognize the .15 file as being install-able.

heh, well, i had used a method to restore ad-hoc connections that required a new wpa_supplicant2 file. The .21 firmware was supposed to allow ad-hoc, but I couldn't get it to work. So I attempted the method again. Unfortunately, I accidentally over-wrote the wpa_supplicant file. I didn't have a replacement file, so I thought that wiping and reflashing the .21 update would work. The update failed because those system files were modified.

So I have a prime with no wifi and no root, and thus no way to fix my wifi. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Someone here can grab you the files you need, transfer them to the sd card, put that in the prime, put them where they need to go and be done with it...

**** never mind, you do not have root now to put the files where the need to go. Crap, I'm stupid, sorry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McLiarpants:
I fixed it!

I was able to pull a backup of OTA Voodoo Rootkeep from my TB .apk files. I installed, and it restored root for me! Not sure how that is possible...maybe I really was already rooted, but since I couldn't load any apps because of wifi being broke I couldn't check. Anyway, its all back to good!

:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Congrats!

Good idea on the method, perhaps it can be used in other situations. Sharing of a VodooOTA root Keeper backup allowing those on 2.1 to root themselves. Interesting idea.

So, I've been using Beautiful Widgets since Eclair. I was wondering two things:

1) What is a good, highly customizable, clock widget? Specifically one where I can use a non-system font to personalize it.

2) In general, without my specifications, what is your favorite clock widget?
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Ultimate custom clock

[HTC Sensation] Sleef:
Tried Ultimate Clock but ended up using Advanced Clock. I'll try Ultimate again but the interface didn't lend itself to picking a new font.

[HTC Sensation] g07ph0:
you should try beweather.
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
There is a big thread on Xda forums for skins for ultimate custom clock, beautiful widgets is quite good but I found fancy widgets to be a huge battery drain.

Sent from my brain
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
UCCW is awesome, but if you are on ICS (or using any of the ICS versions) the widgets don't refresh like it does with BW. IMO BW is the best in working wise, while customization goes to UCCW. I mean UCCW widgets do work, but they are a bit delayed. I think it has to do with the lockscreen. Not sure why though.
[HTC Sensation] Sleef:
Bought Fancy Widgets a while back but haven't used it in a while. Might be time to go back!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] manny18pr:

and the in-call volume increase, making me happy :D but when I got the bluetooth device the volume it is not the same :confused: and the only way to have a good conversation with it is being in a quiet environment, which I think it is not suppose to be like that cause I bought it for driving. :(
