[Android General] shassouneh:
Ok Folks before you flame me, please allow me to elaborate:

yes, i DID search (but couldn't find anything specific).

yes, I DID try several things on my own (see below for details)

yes, the things I'm looking for in specific seem to not exist in one package.

Ok, with that disclaimer, the setup

AT&T Galaxy note running Black Star V2 with Apex Launcher 1.2.2 / Android ICS 4.04. (Please note that these issues ALSO APPLY TO THE STOCK Gingerbread software that came with the phone).

Ok folks in short, I am looking for a music player that can do ALL 3 of the following (every single music player I tried, and I tried tens literally does 1 or 2 out of the following list, but not all):

1.) Pin-lock friendly lock screen music controls (my email is an Exchange acount which enforces a pin lock) [Poweramp does this well]

2.) Persistent player controls even when no music is playing (this is VERY helpful to start playing music after a while) [Cloudskipper is the only player I know of that does this!]

3.) Full bluetooth track / ID3 streaming to the stereo. I don't think this issue has to do with the bluetooth stack because the stock player and/or Google Play music both work. However, their UI (and/or lock screens suck big time)!

Software I have tried:

MixZing

CloudSkipper

Stock Android music player

Google play Music player

Apollo

doubletwist

Winamp

Poweramp

Rocket Music Player

Zimly

Songbird

PlayerPro

n7player

MusicXmatch

NRG Player

Astro Player

(and more that I can't remember off the top of my head).

Can someone please help?

PS: Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I had no idea where to post it.
[Android General] Blindfold_NL:
I'd settle for option 3 only. I don't like the stock player either, but it's the only one that sends the music info to my carkit.

I haven't tried as much as you, but I haven't found any yet that do this.
[Android General] kertesd:
Im with you dude, It would be nice if I could see what songs are being played on my deck. But android doesnt seem to be able to send that data.
[Android General] RedXraD:
If the stock player fulfills all your needs, except for the lockscreen, why not try installing widgetlocker as your lockscreen and using a music widget of your choice? :)

[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
For those interested I have written a guide on how to disable Fast Dormancy on the S3. This is for people who are on networks like Telecom NZ where FD is not enabled and causes extra wakelocks.

UPDATED GUIDE as of 2 July, 2012

The guide is now easier than ever before and includes a link to the app created by Gokhanmoral to make this process a one click fix!

I still recommend reading the guide to understand why you would need to disable FD or if you want to make adjustments to the timings.

You can check the guide out here: http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html

And discuss below
[Galaxy S III General] woshiahboi:
wow?

you're the first to find this out?
[Galaxy S III General] sangosnip69:
nice work dude, I don't understand why samsung haven't let the user choose if he want the FD or not...
[Galaxy S III General] a9402169:
A shorter way is by using root explorer, browse to the nwk info file, then handling the records with sqlite editor.
[Galaxy S III General] giajp:
thank u, for the reverse process?
[Galaxy S III General] energie:
Damn isnt there a shorter way?

Like a cwm or something?

need to repeat full process every time you upgrade your rom?
[Galaxy S III General] giajp:
I think so
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Just a head's up, if you're on AT&T in the states or an AT&T-based prepaid carrier (Straight Talk/Red Pocket Mobile/Go Phone), they support it so disabling it should lead to worse battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] zodiaxe66:
How stupid is samsung.why the f... did they remove the ssid code.

BUT

Thanx m8.

I think the easiest way is to modify your preferred csc file(mine is nee) and insert this in new roms you flash.
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
Maybe because they've\e seen a lot of people disabling Fast Dormancy because they have no clue whatsoever what it is and how great it works.

Then those same people complain about 3G draining their battery in no time because they forced their phones to keep a full-fledged HSPA connection open at all times!

(This of course does not apply to people who imported their phones to a non-supporting carrier or when their carrier has a broken support. But both cases are relatively small when compared to the list of people where it actually works)
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
You have to check if your carrier supports it though because not all do. Leave it on while on a carrier that doesn't will cause your kernel to wakelock the phone, while turning it off on a carrier that supports it won't wakelock your phone, but it'll use more battery because your phone's radio can't sleep. On my S3, I know AT&T uses FD, but I can also tell because when I'm not using data, H+ jumps down to H, and as soon as I start using data, it jumps back to H+.
[Galaxy S III General] raimondomartire:
in fact we can change customer.xml in csc

< AutoFastDormancy>on</AutoFastDormancy>
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
Yes that is the method I used originally, however I wanted to find a way where people did not have to flash a new rom.

As to the other question about other methods such as Root Explorer/SQLite Editor being easier - I agree, however those tools are not free. The ones in my guide are.

It's also important to note that if your network supports Fast Dormancy then its not a good idea to disable it, in fact it will decrease your battery life and network performance.

You can probably figure out how to enable FD for your carrier using the guide and a little common sense anyhow.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
We need an app that can change it. I'd be willing to buy it for a dollar. It'd be great given how many networks this phone will be used on, and that different ROMs come with different settings enabled and disabled.
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
That is actually a really great idea. It'd be good if it could also include a database that looks up your current network to see if it is known to support FD or not. Now we need to find an enterprising dev >.>
[Galaxy S III General] xos84292:
Fd made my phone battery … 12 hour ,fd wake lock 2hour up ﹐my isp don't support the fd .
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Lost 35% battery last night with fd on, had no choice but to turn it off.

And apparently my network supports fd, I find that hard to believe seeing that secril_fd_interface kept my phone awake for 2 hours outta 9.

As soon as I disabled fd that wakelock disappeared from bbs. Nice find op.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Be careful, not all parts of ATT supports FD... Look at my kernel wakelocks, 6 hours!
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Mine does. That's infuriating though, knowing that where you are will affect your battery. Luckily I live in NYC, so I know AT&T definitely has fast dormancy enabled to fight network congestion (which is notorious in Manhattan), but I guess I'll see when I travel outside the city. That would suck though, looking down at your phone and then seeing that your battery is suddenly much lower.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Is there no way we can have FD get detected and turned off and on? This is from the ATT SGS3, it seems like it has settings to do so.

[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
It might be possible if they use a different plmn number. I'm unsure how the AutoFastDormancy tag actually works. Might need some testing.
[Galaxy S III General] dimkit:
So is this really working?
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Here's Omega 6.0 for me out of the box. I think the wakelock for Fast Dormancy SHOULD be there if you're in an area that uses it and you have it on. However, it shouldn't hold a constant wakelock. Here, you can see that after 4 hours, I only have a 4 minute wakelock from secril_fd-interface. I didn't change anything; just flashed the ROM (ignore the USB stuff on top, I'm charging my phone through my computer so I don't care about those wakelocks):

If I let my phone sit for 5 minutes, even with the wakelocks I don't lose any battery. I'd probably lose 3% or less in an hour (guessing).
[Galaxy S III General] pruhster:
Wow I can't believe it's so hard to change this. And a feature that's designed to save battery actually does the opposite for many people.

Fast Dormancy should be part of APN settings and be automatically configured by carriers with the configuration messages they send.

I can't imagine having to manually change database entries on my phone over and over when I travel.
[Galaxy S III General] gaui:
Be careful with this, do nandroid backup first.

I tried this and lost HSPA/3G connection and only got GPRS connection.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
So let me ask you guys something. When I stop using data and my phone is idle (ie I load a web page then don't use data), my connection goes to H. Once I start using it it goes to H+. This was how the phone was out of the box and how it is now as well. My battery is probably the best of any smartphone I've owned, but I'm just wondering if that's normal behavior.
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
That sounds normal. If you're worried get BetterBatteryStats and see if secril_fd-interface is causing a large number of wakelocks (hours as opposed to minutes).

Most people will not have a problem with Fast Dormancy, especially if they bought their phone from the network/carrier that they use the phone on.
[Galaxy S III General] hkhkhkhk:
My network doesn't support FD but I still get no battery drain

seems every carrier/phone differs
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
I'm on a prepaid network that runs off of AT&T (850/1900 MHz) and the S3 I have originated from Vodafone Germany. I have the wakelocks, but thankfully only seconds and minutes. After 4 hours, for example, I only had a 4 minute wakelock. However, I can't tell if FD is actually enabled or not. Does the wakelock signify that? I know my carrier supports it.
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
Might be disabled by default but yeah doesn't seem to affect everyone
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
hard to say but it may be enabled. You can use my guide to help you look for an existing configuration to see for sure though, just don't make any changes.
[Galaxy S III General] defia:
after modification, i have no secril_fd-interface wakelocks,

but,the multi-pdp and l2-hsic wakelocks are still high,multipdp at about 12%, l2-hsic at about 6%.

using a china unicom network.
[Galaxy S III General] maltloaf:
am I right in thinking that the lcdontime and lcdofftime values are the number of seconds it waits before dormancy kicks in ? Mine were set to 5 and while I had a secril_fd-interface wakelock, it was in minutes, not hours.

I've disabled dormancy and set those to zero for now, but as I read it, those values are irrelevant if the dormancy value is "off" ?

Is what I'm assuming correct or do I understand it wrongly ?

cheers,

malty
[Galaxy S III General] ausdim:
I dont think so cause mine was off at dormancy and 5 lcdoff & on time and have the secril_fd-interface wake locks.

When i set 0 to lcd time the secril_fd-interface disappear.

Thank's
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Fast Dormancy is determined by a database that has settings for each carrier. So if your carrier doesn't do Fast Dormancy, chances are it's already off in the database. If you're seeing long wakelocks, then it might be on. If you're seeing wakelocks of a few minutes or seconds, you're ok.
[Galaxy S III General] jhericurls:
Does anyone have the carrier settings for T-mobile UK?
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
Correct. Useful information for everyone.
[Galaxy S III General] xiao-feng:


Yep, at least with my telco.
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
For all those interested: The guide has been updated since the awesome developer Gokhanmoral decided to make an app to simplify this process!
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
Bump for visibility
[Galaxy S III General] giftedgiggsy11:
App didn't work for me, it disabled just fine but then when i rebooted it was enabled again.
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
The app reports that Fast Dormancy is now disabled and remains disabled after reboots.

I additionally checked the database by hand, and all settings are configured for a disabled fast dormancy.

However... secril doesn't seem to care the least bit and happily goes to FD after 5 seconds of inactivitiy. (Where does it even get those 5 sec from? The database doesn't hold that value anymore!)

Is there any possibility the provider can FORCE the device to go to Fast Dormancy? The dialer code *#1100# confirms the state machine's IDLE state.

Furthermore I get a whopping 8Mbit/s data speed over HSPA+. Whenever the device went into fast dormancy and wakes up, I only get a meagre 1.8Mbit/s (exactly that value, which is HSPA stage1) on that same HSPA+ connection on the same antenna.

I'm on Omega 8.1 (BLFB firmware) with DXLF3 modem, but have tried BLFB modem too.

[Galaxy S III General] dibyajyoti:
Will disabling Fast dormancy disable receiving notifications as well? And can anyone confirm if Indian ISP Airtel supports fast dormancy or not?
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
No. It just affects the way the data connection is handled by the phone and network. Worst case you experience wake locks if the phone has it on but the network doesn't support it. If the network supports it but the phone has it off, there will be no wake locks but your phone will be using more battery than necessary.

Fast Dormancy on a supported network means the phone's data connection will still be active but will go from HSPA+ (aka HSPDA) to 3G when no data is being transferred, saving battery.
[Galaxy S III General] dibyajyoti:
I disabled fast dormancy on my phone.. and after that i don't receive notifications from my fb, twitter, gmail or any other app. Does it mean that my network supports fast dormancy?
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
You don't get it; Fast Dormancy does not SHUT OFF your data connection; it just moves it to 3G if you normally get HSPA+, but only when it is not being used. I think something else is causing your problem.
[Galaxy S III General] dibyajyoti:
ok, I reinstalled Fast dormancy toggle app on my phone.. and now it seems to work again. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] lokhor:
Wow I didn't realise people were still posting in this thread.

For those confused about Fast Dormancy - this is pretty common as it is not a simple topic. Erica from XDA has some videos trying to explore what FD is and how to tell if your carrier supports it.

You can watch one of the videos here:

http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/fast-dormancy-the-whole-story-xda-developer-tv/

TBH I'm kind of over the whole thing and now I just use Gokhanmoral's app to disable FD as I know for a fact that my carrier does not support FD.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
To clear things up, Fast Dormancy is protocol that devices use to talk to the network, where the network keeps the data session active even when the data connection isn't being used at all times. It means your device doesn't have to keep starting a new data connection when you start and stop using it.

Cases

:

1.

Your carrier supports Fast Dormancy and your phone has it turned on

- You will reap the most benefits, which are increased data speeds and in many cases significantly better battery life. You will notice, for example, on the S3 that your phone will jump from H+ to H or 3G when you're not using data at that moment (the connection is still active, just "dormant"). Best case.

2.

Your carrier DOESN'T support Fast Dormancy and your phone has it turned off

- Unfortunately your network sucks, because Fast Dormancy, when configured correctly, can really save you a ton of battery life and increase your data speeds. But, if your network doesn't support it and you also have it turned off, that's just as good as case #1. No wake locks, and the fastest speeds available to you.

3.

Your carrier supports Fast Dormancy, but your phone has it turned off

- You won't experience any wake locks, but your phone will be using more battery than it needs to, because it will keep the data connection running at full speed/maximum potential all the time, even when you're not using it. You also will not hit the highest data speeds available to you by the network. You'd probably want to

turn on FD

in this case.

4.

Your carrier DOESN'T support Fast Dormancy and your phone has it turned on

- Your phone will experience wake locks, which will result in higher-than-normal battery usage. Your data speeds may also take a hit. This is the

worst case

you can be in.

Turn off FD

[HD2 General] award982:
Is it possible? I could only find threads about 6.5 from nand and android from sd, but i was thinking it should be possible to fit both to nand, and then use data2sd to send android apps and data to sd card, and install all wm apps to the sd card as well.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes you can dual boot WP7 and Android, but on WP7 can be inn NAND. You have to run Android from SD card. This is the only way you can dual boot both OS's. Also you can not use apps to SD with WP7 like you can with Android. For one thing WP7 does not support removable storage at all, and two WP7 actually uses the SD card in the HD2 for the internal storage.
[HD2 General] award982:
i know i can run wp7 and android -___- i am talking about running windows mobile 6.5 and android, both on nand, you must have misread my post

Sorry about that I did miss read it, actually when I read it last night your thread was right under a thread asking about dual booting WP7 and Android plus I had been up all night working on a bootanimation, must have been seeing double lol.....:o

Anyway though the answer is still the same pretty much. You can run Win Mo from NAND and boot Android from SD card. You can either do it the old fashion way by using the file explorer to open CLCAD and HARET, or you can install a dual boot app in Win Mo to do it with just. Do some googl searching and you will find several apps for this. Just so you know though you can only boot one OS from NAND no matter what OS that is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P30SiNa:
Hey there,

Today I went from CM9 to Liquidsmooth v1.5

It's so fast!

But there is a problem, Liquid devs deleted other languages from ROM and I need Arabic/Persian language.

So I got the fonts from CM9 and pushed them to Liquidsmooth ROM and fixed the permissions so now fonts are working in web browsing I can read Persian fonts in webs. (Before it was squares!)

Then I installed Smart Keyboard Pro and downloaded persian language for it from Google Play.

Then I noticed that Persian font doesn't work in the OS itself. I mean, when I switch to persian keyboard, all the letters are "squares" and I can't type.

I just need Persian language for web browsing (that I fixed this part) and typing.

I don't want to translate everything. I want my phone to be in English language only I want to fix typing. and I have a keyboard app that supports Persian language. Just it doesn't show the letters (it shows squares)

So, what should I do? I hope someone help me.

Thanks in advance. ;)

PS: I'm still a newbie in android because I got my phone 2 weeks ago, I didn't have time to learn Android programming and other things but I will do it in near future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P30SiNa:
I think I have to edit fallback_fonts.xml and push it to the phone too. Right?

Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Basian Mile:
For adding languages you need a Rom with the language you want. In ur case Arabic.

So you download AOSP Rom and then you need to get the "values-ar" and "raw-ar" from every apk you want to translate. Its kinda mayn work. Specially if you never done it before and if you do it just like me ;-)

You need some tools like apktool and zipalign and winrar.

I cant really explain how to do it. Iam not in that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P30SiNa:
Thanks for your answer mate. But do I really need to do these? Because I don't want to translate anything. I only want it for typing. Fonts work great in web browsing I got them from CM9 ROM.

Liquidsmooth doesn't show the letters in the keyboard but it works in web browsing.

even the keyboard is not the android keyboard I use another keyboard from Google Play that supports Persian language.

Devs really should not delete languages from roms :crying:
