[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ou812bkewl:
First, a little background info:

I work for an underground utility locating company in southeast Texas. Over time, the requirements of the job cause me to literally drive down every street in my area. Because of this fact, I use Wigle Wifi war-driving app and eventually will get mappings for every access point in my area.

Now for the question:

Wigle Wifi shows the wifi refresh rate at the top of the screen within the app. On stock KH7 and KK6, this rate shows 3500ms. In ICS, the user is allowed to select 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and Auto. Just scanning 2.4 GHz, the refresh rate is cut down to 1000ms, about 1/3 the rate that "Auto" does. In this mode, (depending on the rom I'm running at the time) the rate varies from a low of 900ms (on Shostock ICS 3.0.1 and PhoneBricker) to a high of about 1200ms (CM9, AOKP and Serendipity 9). It always scans at the same rate regardless of OC/UV. Some kernels that have references to wifi in their change logs or feature lists will enable the faster refresh rates on roms that didn't have it before (Fluxi is the only one that comes to mind at the moment, there may be more).

Can anyone tell me what causes the different scan rates between these roms? Wifi references in kernel/rom feature lists don't really point to a cause for the difference. I know that just 300ms difference might seem like I'm splitting hairs, but at near highway speeds, it really makes a big difference in the number of AP's I can catch.

Sorry for the long post. I know we need to keep them short and sweet, but I felt the research I've done so far needed to be included here.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to this community, especially the devs!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kid_DC:
same problem here... are there any settings I can modify to speed up the wifi refreshing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
The Wi-Fi refresh rate can easily be modified by editing the WiFi scan interval in the build-prop.

The roms the OP mentioned are custom roms built specifically for the i777 with modified scan rates, whereas the AOSP roms were ports/source builds that used generic scan settings.

I'm looking to transfer files to and from my phone. I have all my music on my PS3 along with some movies and pictures. Is there possibly an all share app or something else dlna?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahhlix:
Just mount it using the usb cable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBlunts456:
When I plug it in it says usb device unknown and does not come up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can't "mount" the Galaxy Nexus. It doesn't have UMS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
You might try Bluputdroid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahhlix:
Sorry just giving my two cents, good to know though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBlunts456:
What if I reformatted the fs to fat32? Would that screw up anything on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Transfer to PC and then transfer to console.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes.

and it still doesn't "solve" the problem that the phone is still all 1 partition and can't be mounted as UMS...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
do this. only way to do it UNLESS your PS3 is hacked and you can load a FTP program on there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBlunts456:
Damn that sucks. Its just a PIA to do all that transferring. It does kind of suck to have 32gb that can't be partitioned. Do you guys think there will ever be a way to partition it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Why would you ever want that? The whole idea of unpartitioned storage w/ MTP is that its less of a hassle. You're just creating more problems by introducing different formatting and partition tables. Kinda funny how everyone complained on old phones dealing with partitions, "low storage" errors, and Apps2SD... now that they have large internal storage and no partitions they hate it too.

Just leave it be. It works really well (on the aggregate) and its the way that Google wants it. I don't see them ever going back to partitions and UMS. Better get used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBlunts456:
I just want to be able to connect to my PS3 because my laptops were stolen when my apt. was burglarized, and the only place I have media is on my PS3. I'm not looking to make things difficult. I just think that Samsung already did that by not making it USB compatible with devices such as PS3, tvs, sound systems, etc. Especially these days. My 5 year old Sansa Clip will connect to any media device, I'd like to think the GNex is more advanced than that. :D Just my opinion...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well I'm sorry that your laptop was stolen, but that's not Samsung's fault (and btw it was Google's decision on the design and implementation of the storage, not Sammy). Single internal storage and MTP is more advanced and overall a better solution. I think that asking most people, they'd take this solution over the partitions and UMS that allows them to connect to a PS3...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBlunts456:
I hear you. I know people didn't just buy this phone to connect to PS3 and to me, it really is a small price to pay for an otherwise great phone. (It's probably gonna make me get a new cpu)lol But its pissin me off that this elite smart-phone can't do something my LG Dare did! :confused: I just wanna make sure its not a "pebkac" problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bulvine420:
Mtp blows a new technology should work with old technology the technology that the op is talking about is not even that old.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBlunts456:
I thought there would be an easy work around this... especially for PS3... Samsung TV remotes are even compatible with PS3 out of the box.lol Im really surprised about the incompatibility. Makes me wonder what else isn't gonna work... MEHHH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Do you want to actually transfer or would streaming be fine? If streaming is okay, I suggest imediashare from the Play Store. You can stream images and videos to your PS3 this way(tried it myself today)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBlunts456:
I tried imediashare and it only seems to let me copy to my PS3, not from. All share from samsung worked on my og epic and actually recognized it as a device. I cant find an apk to it tho. I wonder if that would work? Does someone have an apk of that or samsung apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Could always just go back to your Dare... your choice. :rolleyes:

It works fine with old technology. PC's recognize a GNex (or any camera, for that matter) in MTP/PTP mode and transfer files without issue. I think you're confusing an "issue" on the Galaxy Nexus with an actual

issue

on the side of the PS3 not recognizing MTP/PTP...

MTP isn't some fancy new technology. It's been around forever (since at least Windows XP). It's not like Google invented MTP for use on the Galaxy Nexus (it was actually invented by Microsoft) just to piss everyone off.

And as I said before... single, non-expandable internal unpartitioned storage and MTP are here to stay and you're just going to have to deal with it. Google isn't going to change this, and I for one am happy they've made this decision. Really wish people would quit *****ing about it. If you don't like MTP, don't buy the Galaxy Nexus. You'll be missing out on a great device for a silly reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbrown2:
Hello,

We purchased a used GN the other day from someone on Craigslist. I checked the phone out (or I thought I did). Went through camera, speakphone, wifi, gps, no water damage and so on.

But after activation when using the internal headset we get a static noise that you hear through out the call and the other party does too. If you change to speakerphone all is clear and sounds great. Switch back to headset and the noise is there again. You can press mute and the other party no longer hears the static.

Is this a mic issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
If you press mute the other party will no longer hear anything. It does sound like a front mic issue to me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Not sure if you guys know about JetAudio but it's one of the best media players available for PC's and has been my media player of choice for the past 7-8yrs. Plays almost any media file you need it to, is a file converter, audio trimmer, etc.......well now it's available for Android!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetappfactory.jetaudio
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Again, best player I've used so far. Thanks! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Hmm looks really good and it's free! I just feel bad that I'd be loosing $5 from Poweramp though :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I have PowerAmp too, JetAudio is cool but i'm so used to PA that it's gonna take an exceptional experience to unseat it. This is kinda like the Zune trying to uproot the iPod.....Zune showed up just a little late to the party.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Yeah. It sounds really good, but for some reason it's not picking up the tags for my flac files so their all under "unknown artist".
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Jetaudio is good but i feel PowerAmp is better
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
i think player pro is as good.;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Plus one for player pro. Love it!
[Motorola Atrix 2] shaurya19:

No matter wat player u use

u must have a proper headphones to feel the Bass, Treble & evrythin else

i find huge difference bet several headfones

so far i find samsung (selected one's) hf are best ..... haven't tried BOSE :rolleyes:
[Motorola Atrix 2] techsavvy.jaz:
Can't agree more bro, I have got these Sony MDRs that I have ordered from infibeam thinking they will be great, which they are, but i am surprised with the other sony headphones which i have won in one of those facebook contents, they are incredible, I believe Sony gives them away with Live with Walkman.
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Tried, loved bought plus version! Thanks for the suggestion!

i can never decide on what keyboard to use, im ALWAYS switching. what keyboard do you guys use?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Stock... Nothing performs better and it has nice big buttons
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
I use Swype beta downloaded from their website. I can't ever get used to stock keyboard.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
Back when i was on my Inspire I flipped back and forth between the stock keyboard and SwiftKeyX

On the Amaze it's been stock all the way, partially because I'm too lazy to reinstall SwiftKeyX, and partly because it annoyed me when SKX would randomly choose when to place spaces and periods in.

It was kinda fun typing 1 letter and tapping space and watching what sentences SwiftKeyX would come up with lol

[HTC Amaze 4G] DeadWestern Shogun:
I used to use go keyboard hardcore, then went though this phase of having 8 keyboards at once. Always found myself reverting back to stock though sometimes I let the others out to play.

Opinion: Stock
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
+1 for stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Been using Perfect Keyboard Pro for over a year now. Love it!

Stock is nice as well. May try that for a minute again, lol!
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
The sense 4 keyboard from Eclipze's roms completely owns. He didn't seem too interested in sharing it outside of his roms though (no disrespect man, just a fact, all is well though because I ended up loving super sayan). It should be noted that I've altered my font, so picture this with normal font and that's what it looks like lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nirvana Rules:
You got it to work??
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Using sense 4 keyboard, and make way too many mistake on it cause the useless ugly ass arrows....too lazy to switch though -____-

Stock all the way though
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Not at all lol. Tried absolutely everything possible to no avail before I finally gave up and made the switch to super sayan. Only reason I was hesitant to do so was because the (very nice looking) orange and green theme clashed with my preferred blue elements that I use religeously all around... But the combo didn't end up being that bad and was made even cleaner when I flashed a theme that's working with it just fine. This Rom is actually extremely solid and I'm pretty happy with it =)

Hi Guys

I have searched the forums but cannot find anyone else with this problem but ever since the OTA update to ICS I cannot click the sign in or sign up buttons for the Samsung Apps store to register my device? Anyone else had this problem, the button simulate being pressed but nothing happens..

I have already stopped samsugn apps and sync, flushed the cache and restarted in the hopes this would kick start it including turning the phone on and off mutliple times but I cannot get past the sign in screen, please help! I already lost one Note and had to buy this one because of it so I want to register it before I lose it again.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GeSte:
Same problem please help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] highlander2k:
Check your email address mine was the same but the system was changing gmail to email when I was typing in my user name...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Had the same after deleting my samsung account from the phone, because every time it wanted me to log when i was checking samsung store, thought it was a problem with the account, but even few hard resets/factory reset/full wipes same. For me the solution was to reset the phone. But before that think about the brick issue on ics and if you can get it fixed if you get bricked. Try changing languages before anything else.

Gl hf mate
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] doggmeister:
whats the best way to carry out the changing languages option?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tribalkg:
I had a problem with login in the Samsung app. Solved it by logging on the Samsung apps website first and then I could login in the app.

Try that, maybe you can make it work that way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] doggmeister:
thanks already tried that i can log in fine on the samsung website even can create a new user name...

guys the problem is very clear when you try to 'press' the sign in or sign up buttons they appear indented as though they pick your gesture but nothing happens, there is no dialogue box that appears to enable you to type in your username or address, its definately a phone issue and it only happened after the ota ICS update
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] saraswats:
Guys have the same problem after ics update in my SGnote.not able to sign in samsung acount. Hope we get some update from samsung to fix this issue...regards:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] IamMrH:
i have the same problem on my Galaxy Note. logged in using my friends S3 it logs in fine.Its definitely a Phone issue with ICS.i hope samsung resolve it soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ebaum1:
So I just dropped my soon to be ex wife from my shared plan....Sprint changed my plan and the lady told me i would have to set GV back up...So I uninstalled it, redownloaded it and set it back up. But now It will not receive text through GV, I can send, but it returns through the stock app. I have verified the settings, tried another fresh install of the app, rebooted....anything I could think of!!

Any ideas?

So the damn foreign sprint rep...

worthless...ended up cussing him out, who knows if he really understood what i called him...

In the end, i had to go into the voice account on the ole laptop, delete my number from there, un install from the phone, and to be safe I used ROMtoolbox and cleared app data and cache. Then I reinstalled from the phone and it synced the desktop version. No help from sprint...He said that when the plan changed the system had to removed google voice...thats all he could manage to tell me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
Sweet rant bro.

Seriously, its a setting. On the first setup screen, hit skip. Then once you get past the rest of the setup, go into the app and change the delivery method from stock app to GV. Enjoy! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ebaum1:
No, it want just a setting...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
it is a setting.. just required logging into your gv from the computer to remove your cell number from the account and reloading the application.. you couldnt have removed your number from the phone.. or maybe a browser in desktop mode.. either way ive seen the answer to your question in other threads.. glad you fixed it.. i never use my gv number with my sprint number.. i use gv with a sip client and use both numbers seperately for calls and sms

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BookinZ06:
What's up guys. NOOB HERE. Cut me some slack. I currently own a iPhone 4s on att. I just got a good deal on a rooted Skyrocket.

This is the problem. I don't have a iPhone data plan. I just use the phone and wifi.

So I bought a sim card adapter, and I placed the sim card into the skyrocket.

Soon as I do that, att changes my phone plan,and adds a 4g Lte plan. Is there anyway around this?

Im@work all day with wifi, @home with wifi. ...

I like the phone a lot. But I don't need a data plan.

Has anyone had to deal with this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
att are not allowed to do that, you always have the choice, thats the purpose of having buying a phone full price
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BookinZ06:
I know, they sent me some BS email, saying that smartphones require a data plan.

They are designed for surfing the internet and use a lot of data. You are required a data plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] k4ce:
Switch to H2O wireless. Port your number. And you are all set. You pay just as much as ATT without data but still get data (2GB) ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BookinZ06:
Thanks for the advice. But I have a family plan with att for several years now with 3 other phones.

I thought maybe there was something I can download and install on the phone - so no data or information goes back to att
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yoft1:
When they identify your phone as a smartphone, they don't do it through the data you send them, they don't through your imei number which is broadcast to att via your sim. So an app or rom won't do you any good. I can't speak for att, but tmobile has a similar policy with all smartphones requiring data but i have used a Nokia n8 on their network for 2 years without anyone tacking on a data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1earful:
I'm on at&t prepaid $2/day without data - so far. I bought a data package before they changed their policy to monthly only for smartphones plus data package. I don't talk/text every day, so $2/day seemed worth trying. When they switched policies, I just did not buy a data package and as far as I know, I don't have at&t data access. But I have been able to use my phone for calls. Don't know what will happen when my $100 runs out, but that will probably be several months from now. Meantime I have a mobile hotspot I can use if out and about and think it necessary to check emails.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jnewell05:
You have to talk to a super visor. I have a the nexus without a data plan on att. Had to jump thru hoops though, rep said its done automatically through there computers so it had to be over ridded. And I had to call back

3 times because no one would do it for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Wow according to an article avilable at the link below, MS is rummored to annconce Windows Phone 8. What do you guys think about this?

http://nokialumiablog.com/microsoft-will-present-windows-phone-8-in-june/
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
oh my, they brought the START button back. now it's a different kinda jumble ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] stackover:
here we go again...
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
I believe the image you're looking at is still concept art.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
Yeah, given that the source article cites...well, nobody, I have a hard time swallowing it.

However, that concept is interesting--notice the 3 "lenses" at the top. Could this be a hint (or at least, speculation) of a Kinect-integrated WP8 powered device coming later this year?

I hope so--MS really needs to kick it into high gear if they want to make a useful dent in Apple and Android's market share :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Thats one sexy concept
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I actually wouldn't mind something similar to what that concept is.

The eternally continuous long list of apps is annoying to go through. I think maybe that's why iOS and Android have the different pages. There was probably some sort of research that indicated that people get fatigued by endless lists.

And bravo to the kinect idea. That would be great, and would definitely give WP a wow factor above the other platforms (finally).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Ya, the 3 corners + a round one looks conceptualike. (Notta word)

The three holes in the screen are camera, ambient light sensor, and maybe a flash or multi color led ?

FFacing flash would rock, as would a multicolor led.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkSeL:
I don't really like the picture, but I hope it will be announced in June. They might announce it then and release 5-6 months later, with Windows 8 :D

[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
It's bad enough watching people talk to Siri while walking down the street. Can't wait to seem them flailing about whilst using a Kinect feature. :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Now that's funny. Good one bro.:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
When you squint, the phone will enlarge fonts and zoom on pages. The suggest the nearest optician.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Double tap, tilt to zoom, features already available because Kinnect on Xbox and Windows isn't that good, so I highly doubt it will be any good on a mobile device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stevov:
something like nokia saying bbc iplayer was coming
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
LOL that **** was funnay !
[Windows Phone 7 General] the92playboy:
Perhaps Tell-Me combined with Kinect (think lip reading/facial recognition) could provide (finally) fully accurate voice control in a mobile device.

Alas I await the day I can throw a v shape in front of my phone while vigorously shaking my tongue through it in hopes that it will recognize to dial my girlfriend.
