Could try Glance. Tried it once and it seemed to work off and on. Thought it would be a good idea but considering I have LightFlow using the LED light for notifications, it seemed pretty redundant.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
I've noticed a few times when taking photos with my HOS, the shutter noise will play, even though I have it set to off, and then it gets stuck in a loop playing over and over until I reboot the phone.

Anyone else getting this? It's really annoying, but not worth sending the phone back over it. :-/
[HTC One S] ickster:
No, haven't experienced that. But I have heard the shutter sound 3 or 4 random times when the camera isn't even on. Didn't seem to affect anything.
[HTC One S] Raibyn:
I have had this problem twice. When it has happened to me, I was snapping a picture (with shutter sound turned OFF) and then afterwards it makes continuous shutter sounds like it would if I was shooting in burst mode. This continues until I close the camera app and then open up the app switcher and close it there as well.
[HTC One S] tsh:
Yep ... Seen the same thing. It is freaking annoying, but quitting the camera seems to make it stop. Wish there was a recognized error and fix for it though.
[HTC One S] NRGZ28:
There is... it's called "installing a custom ROM" :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] waa2398:
Hey guys,

When XXLPY got release i got it and updated my GNote. Yesterday i decided to unroot it. Everything was ok until i kept getting FC in most of the apps (i read it was normal but it started to get really annoying). So i tried to flash XXLPY back - accidentally i flashed a GS2 stock room and my screen went black. I installed XXLPY again (this time the real one) but that didnt fix the problem.

I can get it into Download Mode, i can get calls, listen to music. everything seems to be ok other than the screen.

any ideas.

thanks in advance for the help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lewisteo:
since your downlosd mode is fine i will suggest you revert to gb to clean up your environment, then decide which version to go from there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Loftus:
You may have flashed bootloaders with the GS2 stock ROM. Find a note ROM that includes note bootloaders and flash that using Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] waa2398:
When you say a ROM are you talking STOCK or CUSTOM??? and do you have any idea where i can find one???

thanks a lot for the time m8

[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
I have just started a T-Mobile contract in the UK on the Full Monty plan that gives unlimited data and includes tethering.

The handset used is unbranded and unlocked but I couldnt tether with it for some reason, either via wifi hotspot or USB Tether. The internet on the handset worked fine.

I couldnt call 150 customer service as that dept shut at 10pm so had a play with the apn's.

The three APN's set up as default are all locked and uneditable so my plan was to edit the broadband one in someway.

So, I copied all the settings, set up the APN's as another network, deleted them and added the three default APN's manually.

Once I did this, tethering started to work, with no actual change to any of the settings.

Just a heads up if anyone else comes across this and a fix that worked for me.

Steve :-)
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Yep rename apn to consumer broadband, people with many HTC s will known this, glad you figured it out
[HTC One X] Roosell:
Many thanks for this post. Would you mind expanding / elaborating on the above steps at all? Not sure how to do this. Have tried creating new APNs with the same settings with no luck. Any pointers much appreciated, thanks.
[HTC One X] Shadamehr:
Yeah - I'd like easier steps too listed please - and thanks for sharing!
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
I made a mistake in my original post.

Seems that what was happening is that I was using the T-mobile Orange signal and not been able to tether. After messing with the APN's the phone went back to T-Mobile and so started to work. Nothing to do with the messing with the APN's

But, what does seem to work, is to re-create the APN's as they were, but on the first entry, change APN type from 'default,hipri' to 'default,hipri,dun'

That works on T-Mobile and when roaming onto Orange it seems

To do this, copy the info from all three APN's and then with the APN screen open, select menu and then 'reset to default'

This deletes the APN's and then gives you the choice of carrier to use. I used Virgin I think (doesnt matter which you use) but once the new APN(s) are there, just delete them. Then, menu and add APN.

Set up each of the APN's as they were before, except the above change (adding dun to the Apn type)
[HTC One X] Roosell:
Smashing thanks. Tethering working fine now on T-Mo only, will try the solution you suggest for T-Mo/Orange when I get a chance. Much appreciated!
[HTC One X] leoni1980:
I don't have any problems tethering whilst on Orange on Android handsets. I'm not on Full Monty though, if that makes any difference. It is impossible to tether on an iPhone whilst on T-MobileOrange though. The hotspot option is just greyed out. As soon as you switch back to TMobile you get the option to switch it on again. Orange 3G is utter crap anyway. Unfortunately I pretty much roam onto it whether I like it or not at my new address.
[HTC One X] beanbean50:
as usual i'm stumbling at the first block...

'copy the info from all three APN's'...

when i click on any of them all the settings are greyed out, i wonder what i'm doing wrong?

edit:

sussed and working fine now :)
[HTC One X] parkenator:
Just about to do this.

Out of curiosity what is the Broadband APN for??

Is it a tethering only APN? e.g. Now tethering is removed from NEW Full Monty contract connections (of which i have one) If i tether, thus using that APN, will they be able to see that and have a go.

Or now tethering is removed will that APN not work?

James
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
I reckon tethering will work…. but will get charged…. and its likely to be expensive.

Seems a strange decision on TMO's part TBH, as they share part of the backhaul with 3 UK you would think that they could cope with extra bandwidth needed.

I assume the broadband APN is for tethering but as I say, if used then it will be billed. Just cos the handset/set up can do it, doesnt meant it wont go past the billing systems.

[HTC Wildfire S] verynice16:
So yeah the title explains it all:eek:

What do you think its more stable and for normal day use?
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
CM9 Alpha 1 by modpunk. But there are very few bugs
[HTC Wildfire S] abhi8569:
Is that makes it "the best rom"?

That depends on you what u want from the rom. If u are non-sense lover CM7 is best till date.If u r sense lover you have many options to choose from.I personally like wildchild.:)
[HTC Wildfire S] Ferri64:
If you want stability for everyday use I would recommend CM7 (no sense) and m1ndh4x8r (sense).

With this question you are likely to get a different opinion in each answer.:cool:
[HTC Wildfire S] asdot:
What does mean "best" in this case?

If we talk about best performance, I got high score using sense 2.1 m1ndh4x8r, EQDKP 3.5 m1ndh4x8r, CM9 by modpunk and ofcourse my stock rom oc kernel too :D

If we talk about best performance + UI, my answer is CM9 by modpunk for now. That the reason why im using it for now :D

Send from my Wildfire S Rom : Wildchild Lite v1. 1
[HTC Wildfire S] klacenas:
In my opinion based on my personal experience:

Best Sense 2.1 Rom - Hensemod 7

Best Sense 3.5 Rom - GB2.3.5 idogx base - OC [m1ndh4x8r mod]

Best ICS (as of this date) - CM9 ICS by modpunk

For me those are the best in terms of performance and stability.

Now I am looking forward to this rom:

[LG Optimus Black] wilmeta:
Yes friends, I'm really in trouble my OB. Two days ago, I flashed a patched ROM to get my phone rooted through the smartflash method. Everything went OK, but short time after, I realized that my 3G/GSM signal was completly unstable.

The phone gets the signal but only for a while. Then, it loose it. Can't call, can't receive, no 3G. Full disaster!!!

So, since two days ago I'm eating every LG forum trying to find the solution, but it's impossible, no way, I'm about to throw my phone through the window.

So, pleeeaaase, could anyone help me???

From my forum lectures I could imagine that is anything involving baseband, or perhaps some network config in the service menu "3845#*970#".

My spanish network works in GSM900/1800 and WCDMA2100

I've tried to flash several STOCK firmwares with the same result: no luck.

Please, any help will be apreciated.

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
First of all Question belong to Q&A section...

try a stock based custom rom like zeus, marvel or supressed or a non-stock AOSP like CM7... maybe is a hardware malfunction...
[LG Optimus Black] wilmeta:
First of all, sorry about the wrong section I posted this thread, and thanks for the reply.

I don't think it's a hardware issue, because the phone was Ok before updating to a new firmware.

Anyway, after work I'll try to flash a custom ROM if no one gives me a better idea.

I'll post the result, but please, I still accept suggestions in order to solve this problem using a stock firmware.

I also have mesuared gps strenght signal with an android app, and it detects around 25%-30% where another phone with same carrier detects 75%.

Thanks, and keep in need of new ideas.

Sorry for any written mistake. My english is not as good as I wish. :·(
[LG Optimus Black] Pacos1:
If you tried several roms like Zeus, and noone have solute your issue, than you should assume, that you have a hardware problem. Of course you should compare the signal strength with an other Smartphone, due their format cause a bad signal reception.

Go back to stock. I recomend this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1

and here pick your corresponding stock:

http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1

other thing: In which country are you using the phone, and it is buyed there? Maybe bad bandwithspecs.

Regards!
[LG Optimus Black] wilmeta:
Thanks Pacos1, the phone is being used in Spain, and also it's been bought there. (weird to write you in English :·)).

I still haven't tried a custom ROM like zeus or another one. I wanted to solve the issue with any Stock ROM, but as I have been trying several with no luck, I think it's time to try a custom one. I'm thinking about Zeus.

But first, as you've mentioned bad bandwith specs, I remember that the problem came after installing a patched stock ROM from russia. Once installed, I found out that spanish language wasn't included, so I returned to a patched stock spanish ROM. At that moment I started to have signal unstability.

So, I ask you with hope, do you know something I can do to restore spanish bandwith specs, and how to do it??

That would save my ass, as I'm really touched with this trouble.

Thanks again and hope a good end to this embarassing stuff.
[LG Optimus Black] wilmeta:
I'm going to give up and call the SAT center. I've tried a lot of things for the last days without luck and no more ideas come to my brain.

I've tried Zeus ROM, it's quite good and nice, good performance, but still unstable signal. I've return to an offical ROM through LG update service and again unstability.

My conclussion is that is something about RIL and baseband, but don't have enough knowledge to solve it, then it's time to ask for official help and prepare my wallet (phone is out of warranty :·( )

End of the story.

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testnet:
Wondering if there is any possibility of unlocking Ant + support for heart rate monitors in the Galaxy sII. I think Ant + works on wifi channel 10. Futhermore, there is an Ant + android SDK available here:

www <dot> thisisant <dot> com/pages/developer-zone/android-api

Currently Ant + is working on the Xperia Mini X10, but i don't want to buy another phone just to record heart rate data. Currently I use Endomondo which has support for heart rate monitors (don't know if its for bluetooth or ant + )

EDIT* I have the USB ANT+ stick for my Garmin watch, possibly that could work connect to my Galaxy SII as USB OTG?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
I think it will not work, because Android lacks the specific hardware for ANT+.

Currently, AFAIK, the only Android devices that feature an ANT chip are: Sony Ericsson Neo, Pro, Xperia Arc, X8, X10 Mini and X10 mini Pro

Besides, ANT (or ANT+) has nothing to do with wi-fi or wi-fi channel 10. It is a proprietary low-power wireless protocol. Whoever told you that it works on channel 10 of the 802.11 protocol mislead you.

So, in short, for the GS2 work with ANT+ transmitters, it should have a built-in ANT+ chip.

your ANT+ USB adapter will not work with android (even with OTG) because Android lacks the drivers for the adapter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testnet:
That's a bummer.

Samsung Galaxy SII lacks Bluetooth 4.0 as well, making it not compatible with the newer Bluetooth heart rate monitors.

Why isn't ANT + support included SAMSUNG?? The iphone has it.

A bluetooth ANT+ receiver could fix this. There is enough demand for it.

Until then, I will need to buy an Xperia X10 Mini in order to get heart rate monitoring in Android fitness apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lillejord:
The iPhone doesn't have it. ANT+ plus on the iPhone requires a special dongle. Up until recently it wasn't possible to use the ANT+ USB stick because the phone couldn't be the Host. ANT just released software/drivers to allow the use of USB sticks on Android phones that have host mode enabled. Unfortunately Google says it's incompatible with my Captivate despite having a kernel that supports USB Host Mode. I tried hooking up a Garmin ANT USB stick, but USB Host Controller couldn't detect it. Could be that the USB stick is USB1 and not USB2. The ANT app (ANT USB Service on Google Play) also states that it only works with USB2.

I ordered a USB2 stick and will try to get it to work with my Captivate. If not, I'm sure it will work with the GSIII when I decide to upgrade.

ANT+ on SGSII

Judging from the reviews on Google Play, it seems that many Samsung Galaxy S2 owners are pairing ANT+ sensors particularly for the use of IpBike. However I can't find a step-by-step tutorial on how this is being done. I've installed ANT USB Service, ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Demo. When running ANT+ Demo, I simply get an empty screen with a messange on the bottom "Enable ->" pointing to an ANT+ logo - nothing happens when I tap the logo. When using IpSensorMan, when I tap "Enable ANT", a message comes up after a few seconds: "ANT USB stick connected?".

Can anyone point out what might be wrong in the following setup:

Galaxy SII (not rooted, running Android 4.0.3) + OTG cable (able to connect a pendrive and read its contents) + Garmin USB 2 Wireless stick (working fine when connected to the PC to upload workouts from my Garmin Forerunner 310XT watch).

Tips are very welcome.

I know Suunto Movestick Mini is ANT2 and is being used by SGS3 users. They sell the stick online at their site (suunto dot com /movestickmini), Amazon and ChainReactionCycles.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:

Would be nice if a SGSII owner would see this post and report their setup for using ANT+ sensors.

As far as Endomondo is concerned, it supports both ANT+ and BT HRMs. But it only supports native ANT+ chips, not USB sticks. Though, you can hack the app to support USB sticks. Its a simple one line code change.

Needs Root:

1) Extract the .apk from your phone. Should be in /data/app/com.endomondo.android.pro.apk. I use Root Explorer but other file managers should work. longpress to copy then navagate to you sdcard and paste. Connect phone to computer and open in Explorer. Or longpress (rename if sending it through gmail. gmail wont send apk for some reason) and select send and email it to yourself.

2) Open the .apk in an archiver program like WinRar, 7z, whatever, and extract the classes.dex file.

Get a decompiler. I use smali/baksmali. http://code.google.com/p/smali/

3) Learn how to use it... Sorry, but the information is out there, and I'm to tired to look it up for you.

4) Get a code/text editor. I use Notepad++

5) Once decompiled, open com/dsi/ant/Antinterface.smali in Notepad++

Look for:

.line 1331
:cond_1e
sget-boolean v0, Lcom/dsi/ant/AntInterface;->mAntSupported:Z

Use Ctrl+F and search for ".line 1331"

6) replace: sget-boolean v0, Lcom/dsi/ant/AntInterface;->mAntSupported:Z

with: const/4 v0, 0x1

7) Recompile

8) Open the apk in the archiver again and delete classes.dex. Copy the new classes.dex into the archive.

9) Resign the apk. I've been using ZipSigner 2. You can get it from the Google Play Store. This is an in phone app so you have to get the apk back on your phone first.

10) Make sure you uninstall the original app, then install from the modified apk.

Restart your phone.

11) Make sure the dongle is plugged in before you start the app.

I did not come up with this hack. It was in a response to a post I made on Endomondo's help forum. https://getsatisfaction.com/endomondo/topics/android_ant_usb_stick
