Thanks for the review you put up. You didn't mention it but how are the power button and volume rocker? Easy to press or does the case inhibit operation of these buttons?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DMills1553:
Ya, I have no problems with them. They push easily but so much so that they get hit inadvertently. It's natural enough that I didn't even think about mentioning that in the review.

[General Questions and Answers] dazza_84:
Hiya, i have a question that hopefully could be answered by someone, what it is is that ive been flashin roms for a while now on various devices, desire hd, sensation, galaxy s and now galaxy s2, but for me i cant seem to find a really good rom for the gs2??

i know what i want out of a rom, which is fairly good battery life, smooth and speedy.

Now i know that every phone is different but if there are people from the u.k who could maybe give a heads up on what rom and kernel they are using that would be great.

I have flashed quite a few roms on my gs2 already but nothing feels as smooth as the first galaxy s or htc sensation.

Anyways, hope someone can help me put a good solid rom on my galaxy s2.

Many thanks

Google wallet won't work unless you have a nexus, no clue when Google will finally allow others to use it. Good find and post.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tbonezx11:
Ok probably a really dumb question, but I'm not finding an answer.

You say to PUSH the app to system/app folder. What do you mean by this? I'm on a cutom ROM (FastAmaze) and am using ES File Explorer with Superuser access. I can't copy & paste the .apk into that folder.

Do I need to use a different directory app? I'm also not seeing how to change the rights.

Thanks for the remedial help. HA
[HTC Amaze 4G] saseekutz:
I use easy installer from the market. It installs the apk for you

[HTC Amaze 4G] kemimarie:
Ok you have two choices.

You must be rooted.

Please do a nanandroid in-case apps dont work.

Option One:

Save Jelly Bean Apps on your phone.

Download from your phone or from your computer to phone.

>>> Rootexplorer <<<

Install on android device.

Open rootexplorer.

Accept root permission.

At the top click MOUNT R/W until it turns to MOUNT R/O.

Find were you saved the Jelly Beans apps on your sdcard by clicking the sdcard folder.

Long press the app and click copy.

Go back to the Parent Folder.

Click the system folder.

Click the app folder.

Now paste the app you copied from your sdcard.

Find the app that you copied and long press it.

Click Permissions.

Make sure the first the column marked READ has OWNER, GROUP, & OTHERS checked.

Make sure the column marked WRITE has ONLY OWNER checked.

Uncheck everything else.

Press okay.

REBOOT.

Option Two:

If you don't already have it. Install Android Sdk on your computer.

Make sure your correct drivers are installed.

Make sure debugging is on your phone.

Open a command prompt.

Direct your path to the sdk folder.

Ex: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools"

Push the apps to system\apps.

Ex: adb push Calender.apk system\app
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Dude's got a girl owning 'em on the tech turf, lol. Props to her, don't forget that if you're gonna use ADB to push the files, unless you have a modded boot.img, you'll need to reboot into recovery, mount system partition in the partition menu, then use the adb command: adb remount. And also please put the files you wanna push into your sdk's adb folder, because if you leave it in the folder you downloaded it to and not place it in the sdk folder, you'll be pushing nada to your phone.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
No one is smarter than the other, each individual has their own line of interest, this happens to be mine and most dudes, most girls aren't even remotely interested in electronics for anything but show and tell, that's why it's pretty rare to see a girl so way ahead of most guys on a tech forum that goes in depth. So nope, I ain't late my dude, I'm just amused at how much more interest she has in it than they do, lol.:p
[HTC Amaze 4G] tbonezx11:
Perfect...Worked like a charm...The RootExplorer was the issue. I don't mess with the SDK tools unless I REALLY have to.

And for those giving me grief about being owned by a girl? I don't care where the info & knowledge comes from. She's rockin it, that's all that matters.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
For those of you using the older style (mine is a 2010) version of the non-touch screen Ford Sync, it now appears that the AT&T One X will pair over BT without issue. On the 1.73 firmware the phone was unable to even see the system. Not sure if it was the OTA to stock 1.85 or flashing to CleanROM since i hadn't tried it again in weeks, but one of the two solved the issue.

Anyway, haven't tried playing media yet but phone calls work just as well as they did on my old iPhone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
I'm not having any issues with media play on my 2010 F-150.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
Yeah, I assume it works fine now that i can pair. Did you have trouble getting it to work on the launch firmware (1.73)?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
In my 2012 Fusion I haven't had any trouble. I just picked up the F-150 a couple weeks ago (couldn't pass up the deal) so I was already off 1.73 at the time. I can say that at times it does take a while for the media to connect. Sync just plain out rocks. Don't know if I could ever use a vehicle without it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Papi4baby:
On my 2011 F150 the vehicle mic will not work. The speakers will but for the mic I have to have the phone close or speak into it. :-(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
That's odd, mine seems to work fine. Do you have the newest version of Sync?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Papi4baby:
As far as i know.

I tried to update it, and i keep getting an error on the Ford SYNC website. They know they have a problem, but yet they say that there's no updates for my vehicle.

System used to work fine with my iphone. So i dont know if is SYNC or the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
Keep trying to pull that sync update. I guess its also possible that running cleanrom 4.0 made it work, but I kind of doubt it. Don't think the log mentions Bluetooth changes.

We almost certainly have the same Sync system, so don't give up!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BunkKryptonite:
My 2012 Edge used to give me grief and would not consistently pair either as a phone or music but since the OTA it hasn't been an issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
How the heck do you update sync? Never even knew...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jayv81:
Have to go to Ford sync website and register. They have detailed instructions. You will need a usb thumb drive.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Papi4baby:
I actually think I have not tried it again since the update will give it another try.

Sync website keeps telling me my usb stick is not big enough. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Well, how big (capacity) is your USB thumb drive? Try a larger capacity one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thepieguy:
Hmm, the updates aren't that big. I did mine once using a 4GB flash drive but I want to say the update was less than 10MB... Make sure your usb drive isn't locked >.<

My HOX paired with my 2011 Fusion (w/o Nav) without much fuss. Stock ROM. I had to jockey around the bluetooth searching a few times to get them to see each other, though. Music streaming works well, too.

It would almost seem like the battery is going bad. (which is a possibility) but i don't see big instantaneous drops in the percentage. How old is your battery?? If it is over a year old then it is time to replace it. But if you are going to replace the phone then i dont know if you really want to. Its only about 5 bucks to replace.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rathga:
Hi there - wondering if anyone else has experienced this or can help me. Have seen some similar-ish threads dating back many months but nothing exactly seems to answer this

Until last week, the GPS on my S2 was working fine. Always locked pretty quickly etc.

But for the last week or so, I cannot seem to get a GPS fix AT ALL. I have tried restarting, clearing the aGPS data, etc. etc.

I have installed GPS Status and GPS Aids from the marketplace as recommended in some places. GPS Status shows many satellites being detected in grey, but nothing locks on to them. My phone is not rooted so I have not tried to alter settings etc. as yet, as not really sure this is the problem as I have not changed anything recently. (Could t-mobile have done something on their end that is causing it maybe.. ??)

I am running stock ICS on t-mobile.

Any illumination anyone could offer would be most appreciated!

many thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 007Arc:
Have you flashed any rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedread:
Even if it was a carrier update, no need to be a custom rom.

I use GPS-Test to "test" my GPS, can you please install it tell us what is the biggest SNR you get?

I think you will only get a lock if you have at least 3 sats with SNR above 30.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happily1986:
i was using gps status and aid like you did. didnt work till i tried gps test plus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rathga:
Many thanks for all the replies

@arc Have not flashed a ROM, just using stock ROM which got upgraded automatically to ICS from gingerbread a few months ago

@zedread Installed GPS Test and tried it briefly just now. Get 7-9 satellites with SNRs of between 20 and 40. All of them stay grey and none of them get used for locking. This is similar to what I have seen in GPS status etc. (i.e. it seems to find satellites but does not proceed to try and lock any of them...all of them always stay grey)

@happily can you advise what it is in GPS Test Plus that helped? Just got the free version at the moment.

Anyone have any more ideas?

Many thanks

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2

I don't know but for $10 how much is going to hurt if it doesn't work? I like the idea though.
[Thunderbolt General] parson33:
I just got a response on another forum that it doesn't work. Apparently the thunderbolt doesn't have the MHL adapter capability.

So is there any other way then to get video on your TV from the Thunderbolt?

I have never been able to get the DLNA player working on the phone. If that is the only way then I would appreciate a how-to guide on getting it to work.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
Don't rhink the thunderbolt has dlna or mhl.
[Thunderbolt General] Ol' Blue:
dlna does work with the thunderbolt. I have used windows 7 media center and a smart TV with Wifi to send videos and music. It can be a little slow, but it may have been the Wifi network I was on. If you don't have a built-in media share app on the rom you are using, you can find some on the play store.

[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
I am currently on BOCA MSI (v9) which is giving me the best battery life I have ever had on GB (Better than Stock or Overcome and a few others I tried). Even verclocked at 1.4 Ghz

Now I am dreaming to switch to ICS... Obviously the first ROMs out were not really optimized for battery life, and battery life seemed terrible. But I wonder where the present ROMs stand and how hey compare to each other

I don't mind too much having a bit less performance than with BOCA (which is amazing), however I would just hate having a shorter battery life

Anybody can share their experience with AOKP and CM9? With which kernel ?

(Just anticipating some flames: obviously I could try them but I'd love to leverage on the forum and people's experience before making the jump to MTD partitions and wipe my whole install)

Thanks in advance

1. This is not very useful... As I said I don't really have the time and I was trying to leverage on people's experience (After all this forum is meant for that

2. Even if every phone is used differently you still get valuable information from people trying 2 ROMs and coming with their own feeling about which one gives them better battery life
[Galaxy Tab General] TheATHEiST:
No it isnt and if you had bothered to search you would know tha these type of "best rom" thread are frowned upon for many reasons, The most obvious being that "best" is subjective and also depends on your specific hardware as power consumption is different from device to device. It also depends on software and configuration you use.

If you want the answer to this question then dont ask here, instead try some roms and find what is "best" for you not us.

Hey guys,

I'm experiencing big differences when downloading on my nook in comparison to when I download on my laptop.

For instance, when I use Goo Manager it goes REALLY slow. What seems to take more than an hour on the nook, takes on a few minutes on my laptop.

Is this how it is with everyone else, or is it just me?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Just the opposite for me. I can download a whole rom in two minutes on my nook with goo manager and it takes half an hour on my very fast laptop using the same router.
