I chose android cos of how open it is :P not really about rooting and stuff at first. although now that I've gotten a new phone (my old phone htc chacha wasn't really supported when I had it :( ) it's really amazing! and i think a lot of people did that as well, that's probably why there's so many questions, i guess. and people are lazyyyyyy xD

[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
For me, it was a choice of Sony vs other brands rather than why android. Either way I didn't want iOS or a blackberry, and the xperia arc caught my attention over all the other android phones (and the price point at the time).

The xda life for me came two months after my phones purchase when I saw the xperia s & ion at CES and FlamEmo's xperia s theme. Ever since then I've been obsessed with modding my arc and everything surrounded with android (and Sony xperia lol)
[Xperia Arc General] Kh-Angkor:
I choose Android because I like Android ...this is my reason .
[Xperia Arc General] danisariandi:
I choose it because It has more features and It can be modified
[Xperia Arc General] Oscar-Mark:
If I was a gamer I would probably not have an Android phone.

Android is overheating.

But it's the most advanced and stylish OS (WP is hot too.)
[Xperia Arc General] Devoct:
+1.

i also think, that only iOS is the same level with android, but iOS is too expensive i think, with their 3.5", i love big screens.

and android is available on many market level, (low - mid - high end), and what makes me choose Arc for my phone is it's design!

i just can't stand the sexiness of Arc. :o

Nokia N9 and Lumia 800 are sexy too, but too bad those are not Android phone, and N9 is not available in my country(discontinued early). :(

WP is the only possibility i would try over any other mobile OS, the simplicity of the UI, and 'stable' performance of the OS are kinda interesting to me.

and most WP handsets have an AMOLED screen. :)
[Xperia Arc General] WujekT:
Because this is best OS for people who are "power users" and wants to have any choice and many possibilities (apps, look&feel).
[Xperia Arc General] Traviizter:
In terms of being able to personalise your phone, Android is the best bar none. The amount of support for even older devices, and ones that don't even run Android out of the box is incredible.

In terms of features, Android wins again. It's open source but it's successful as well.

Also, the choices of hardware (handset, processor, cameras etc.) makes for good competition and a good range of options for a phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itfsos:
Hi everybody!

I started this thread because the rare existing ones didn't help me!

I tried to install CM9 with recovery method, starting from a stock 4.0.3 ICS firmware (LPF) with siyah kernel 3.3.3d.

I've made the 3 wipes (factory,cache and Dalvik)

installed CM9's zip ( i tried with nightlies of 17th and 18th..and today also the RC2)

installed gapps' zip

factory reset again

reboot

in ALL the 3 time i tried, my home button worked only to wake up phone, and no lockscreen is present.

searching the web, I found that probably the problem is the /efs/imei/keystr file...so

I tried to recreate the keystr file with the "ON" word inside

to give it permissions for all groups

to restore my backuped efs folder

to fix permissions on CMW

but nothing works..now I restored my nandroid backup for the third time, searching for solutions! :D

Hope you can help me to resolve..

Thanks in advance!

This is your first post, and your profile details don't say where you are and what carrier you are on. Are you sure you have an I9100?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itfsos:
updated my details, don't know if something else important is missing!

I'm from Italy and my device is for sure a GT-I9100 (4.0.3 build LPF), not one of the other galaxy s2 versions! :)

btw, thanks for the reply! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hmm. Well, given you said you did this:

This is what I would have told you to do. When you said "to give it permissions for all groups", so you confirm that the permissions on the /efs/imei/keystr is set to at least 644, or rw-r--r--?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itfsos:
yes, I've done it both with terminal emulator and root explorer! I've also tried to give rw to all (rw-rw-rw- or 666). Seems to be a strange thing, other people resolved with one of these methods!

If it's useful, one week ago a tried a Samsung-based ROM (VK with ICS 4.0.3) and all worked fine..but i didn't like it and returned to stock ROM+Siyah Kernel via nandroid restore. Seems like my terminal doesn't like 4.0.4! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hmm... for the contents of the keystr file, is it "ON", or ON? In other words, did you include the quotes? It should actually not have the quotes...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itfsos:
it was without quotes when flashed, and also when i re-created it! :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Huh. Well, you're the only one I've ever heard of this not working. Sorry...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itfsos:
not your fault! :)

thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
just try permission rw-rw-r-- and see once ma8;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itfsos:
as I wrote, I've already tried with no luck!

tonight I will install the new nightly and pray! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itfsos:
OK, reflashed RC2 and gapps.. same problem and no gapps installed!

So i tried something..3 wipes and re-flashed another version of gapps,and now everything works!

I am kinda lost with this... without doing my research i bought a couple Bluetooth headsets over ebay etc but none of them seems to have fulfill my requirements... i am looking for a headset which

1. to use with phone audio, not just calls

2. stuff like music, radio, youtube etc

3. is only one ear... no wires

4. as small in size as possible

5. compatible with samsung galaxy s3

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] j0sh1:
Hello thanks for your reply but as i stated in my post im looking for something for one ear, no wires. Basically a one piece product
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rubik:
1 ear headpieces are mono headsets. Under your bluetooth settings, select the paired headset and see if you have the option 'media audio' and make sure it is checked. Additionally, the S3 has a 'Mono Music' widget built into touchwiz. I suspect the widget will give you what you want. If all that doesn't work , you can buy one of these type of bluetooth headsets like the Samsung HS3000 and replace the detachable ear phones with single mono ones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] j0sh1:
Thanks... do you think this could be what im looking for:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Goobacks:
I personally used to use this Bluetooth awhile back, loved it and it worked and sounded good.

http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/m155

Idk anything about the one you posted though
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rubik:
Since you already bought a couple, i would first try to get those to work. No point buying more. I don't think that link on ebay works either. The headset itself has to support bluetooth A2DP profile , which most , if not all mono headset aren't designed to do. Again, i would try to configure the software as mentioned earlier to get it to work first.

You should google the following sentence which will help :

"android streaming music to mono bluetooth headsets"

Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] j0sh1:
Any ideas where this "mono music" option might be ? settings? i cant seem to find it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rubik:
Its a widget, add to home screen first, then toggle it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] j0sh1:
Very well. Ill try all that now thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] j0sh1:
Well PROBLEM SOLVED. An app called BLUETOOTH AUDIO made all my mono headsets work like a charm... Thanks everyone for their help. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] doki81:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] itesla:
I am using a similar JB app on my iPhone to send all audio out to mono bluetooth headset. You can also search for "bluetooth mono headsets with a2dp" on google. A2DP headsets will accept stereo bluetooth connection even if the headset is mono/one ear.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
Don't know if you care about sound quality at all, but the GS3 supports apt-X and the HS3000 someone mentioned also supports it. You just need t switch out the double to a mono earpiece.

Also I've seen this headset on Amazon that is a clip-on that had a single retractable earplug:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tdiliplane:
So the company i work for has an Exchange (outlook) email server. I was trying to get my work emails sent to my phone but have had no luck. I just got off of the phone with At&t and they told me i need to upgrade my data plan to the Enterprise plan... I asked her what the difference between the both are , and she says " You get 1g more and you can have work emails sent to your phone." She couldnt tell me what you get other than the 1g of data... so has anyone linked their outlook account to their phone? ive searched the all mighty google and nothing leads to a solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
You don't need enterprise plan. You should talk to your IT guys and see if ActiveSync is enabled on the Exchange server. It is required for stock email using Exchange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tubifex:
Agreed you don't need an enterprise plan. I was able to get my work emails on my phone with out that plan. You just need to get some details from your IT department to get it setup on your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tdiliplane:
The it department said that if it isnt a company phone i cant get my emails through it but again no one is giving me specifics as to why. They are making the switch from blackberrys to iphones, so if an iphone can get the emails should i be able to set something up?

edit* so i called and he told me that it is possible for me to get my emails, but that it wasnt supported by them so they couldnt give me any instructions. so i put the mailbox server name where it should go and then domain/username and password, tick use ssl and it says Checking incoming server settings... and for about 2 mins it shows this and then it says couldnt open connection to server... and also they said that ActiveSync IS enabled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ThierryXN:
Again, you should try to get details from your IT department such as domain, username, server, etc. That information for iPhones should also work for Android. The IT department at my old employer (News Corp / Fox Media, so not some dinky fly by night company) had a "how to get email on your iPhone/Android" faq. You definitely don't need to change anything on AT&T's end.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tdiliplane:
i hear you, halliburton has to make everything as complicated as possible i guess. i actually have all the info in my email client (domain, username, server, etc.) the it guy told me in his best english what to use (Mailbox server name, domain/username) but for some reason it will not connect to it...

* i even tried using the client access server name in the others place and it still wont connect...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
True, but I believe that the OP said the IT department won't divulge the info needed to set up email from their server. I had the same situation. My office will only allow it if it's iPhone. I got the same "not suported" bs that the OP got from his. I resorted to using the office's webmail access if I need to get in, and having certain emails automatically forwarded via filters. Royal pain. I also told them that if anyone ever needed to urgently contact me by email and I was out of the office, that it's on their heads. :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moorecomp:
It looks like the company (Halliburton) has a website you can go to to check your mail. Try using "whmail.halliburton.com" or "owa.halliburton.com" as the server address. Also make sure you put the user name as "halliburton.com/user".

Yeah, I was mostly confirming that this is an IT issue and not something that he should change his AT&T account for.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tubifex:
My company has also said that they do not support Android but by using the web mail address for my online web access as the server I was able to get it to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
Hmmm. Do they have iPhone users working already or are they still in the planning stages? My company was using Blackberry phones in conjunction with Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) and turned off ActiveSync. BES acts as mail relay between Exchange and phone.

A few months ago our company allowed us to use our own phones and turned ActiveSync back on. Good thing -- I was ready to destroy my POS Blackberry.

If Outlook Web Access (OWA) is enabled you could always try Touchdown app on Google Play. I've heard good things about it but it is a bit pricey.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tdiliplane:
and using touchdown i get this

it seems like it doesnt recognize the server address, but this is the one he gave me...

edit... so i got it to work using the OWA host name. WOOOHOOO thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
Well, I'm able to access the actual web mail interface, but are you saying that you can actually connect to the Exchange server by doing that? Does mail actually get pushed to you? Or is mail able to be synced?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
My Exchange server uses the same name & IP address for OWA and ActiveSync. YMMV.

You will not get push email if you are using Touchdown with OWA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moorecomp:
That is how I have mine configured and push works great.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
Technically, true 'push' email with Exchange requires ActiveSync. OWA is not the same -- polling is required. Nitrodesk Touchdown document addresses this on pages 21 & 22.

http://www.nitrodesk.com/tddownloads/tdstartup.pdf

As a side note, Exchange OWA has a cool feature allowing you to log phone ActiveSync transactions for troubleshooting. Go to 'Options' in OWA (upper right hand corner of browser in Exchange 2010), and select 'See all options...'. You'll get a new page displayed with 'Phone' option on left panel. This will display all mobile deivices associated with your Exchange account. Wipe the device remotely, log email transations, etc. Fun stuff. Note that this is ONLY if you are using ActiveSync.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nh5:
For all you experiencing issues with activesync

Go into your OWA ECP in your web browser and clear your list of past syncing devices it may help alleviate the can not open a connection to server issue in android. I know it sounds odd but it works for me occasionally to get my device syncing with my personal exchange server I run and manage.

Also if your company is using Activesync and iPhones are connecting your android phone shouldn't have a issue. Many companies use autodiscover also so upon typing in your e-mail into the e-mail app it should discover your settings. Also a helpful tool is located at: http://testexchangeconnectivity.com which may help get you connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moorecomp:
Yes, "True" push. We use Activesync. The server address for setting up the Exchange/Activesync account on a phone is "owa.company.com". The OWA website to check mail is different, (http://owa.company.com). It is all the same server, just accessing different services that are running on the box. In this case the user was able to get it working by using owa.halliburton.com as his server address.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iBustCh3rries:
I Currently have a Galaxy Nexus and was considering a trade offer for a EVO 4G LTE. was wondering how is the battery life on this thing? what are some battery stats are you guys are getting over here?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Depends I can get 6-8 hrs video streaming on wifi if I use it less it last a rather long time. I have the gn and this I love them both and couldn't choose if I had one line lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Toast95135:
The battery life is fantastic but my old phone was a generation older then your Nexus. With my Epic 4G if I got 1.5hrs of screen on time (15-30% brightness and 1-2% no signal) I would be on the low battery warning. If I used Nav it would drain the battery 1% a minute. On the Evo I can have the screen cranked up to 50% or higher, get 2.5 hours of screen on time, music streaming and navigation going and get home at the end of the day with 40% left. :victory:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iBustCh3rries:
Yea, I don't really want to get rid of it because Devlopment is just so much more fast paced on the GNex then any other device. but at the same time my battery life and under powered cpu/gpu are a turn off for me... decisions decisions lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guih:
I really think your switching to better hardware with the evo. It comes down to how much you care for the software differences really
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iBustCh3rries:
I'm not a fan of sense by any strech of the imagination... but im sure the devs can do something about that to where I wouldn't have to deal with that for too long.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Scaryghoul:
I usually get a full day out of this device no matter what. I've only really tried two roms, mean and viper. Viper for me, had a more steady decrease rate where I could get 5-7 hours of screen on time during a day easily. I've not heavily used it since I've been on mean rom, although I usually hit 50% after 45-60 minutes of screen on time with mean.(Albeit this is over a full regular day's usage where my phone battery time would be between 9-11 hours)

Since I figure a follow up question will be the performance between the two, they perform about the same. The difference in performance for day to day usage is minimal at best. Either way both roms get a full day for my current usage.(Full day being 13-18 hours)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I think that it is pretty unanimous that the EVO has far superior battery life. Every review and person I've talked to say that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
I would have to say the evo 4g lte and galaxy s 3 (s4soc) has amazing battery life.I average 16-20 hours medium use!(facebook,instagram,browsing,calls,text,youtube) a friend of mine has the vz galaxy nexus,within the first week he had to buy the 3800ah? Siedo. His stock battery would die in 6-10 hours medium use. He also lost NFC during the battery swap.

This device even outlast my evo 3d with the 3000mah battery! At first I wondered why they permanently shoved a 2000mah battery inside,but honestly with efficient hardware the battery life was/is greater then I expected.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I'm on my phone all the time. Phone calls, texting, you tube videos, email, Facebook, etc. My screen is usually at 25%. I average about a 10% drop an hour during heavy use periods,with about 14 to 16 hours a day without having to charge.
