[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] loveyoulongtime:
I'm currently developing a device driver in Linux and I was hoping to be able to obtain the current signal strength at my program's leisure. I was hoping to obtain this directly from the hardware, itself, however I don't know the actual chip used for 3G communication. Up until recently I've been using a similar phone to the S II, the docomo LTE version not released in North America which had Qualcomm's MDM9200 on it. Although this was through a proprietary protocol (QMI), I wasn't sure if this were at all possible on the AT&T Galaxy S II since it may or may not have a different 3G chip in it.

I know this is possible in user-space -- in fact I've been going through code snippets of methods for establishing communication with Qualcomm's (somewhat old but still supported) DM port, however not only is this not fast enough for my purposes but not in the android kernel, either.

Im very confused and pissed...

When i first started tethering at my house, i noticed there was little to no service. so i was like okay the reason is because i have bad connection. Well i rigged an external antenna giving me now 3 bars.

Problem is this...

When i run ping www.google.com via CMD window. It connects and ping time is ~50ms to ~500ms.. why the huge gap in times? secondly, if i turn off the screeen i lose complete connection.. Any help? Im getting really pissed im trying to play black ops ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
okay so apparently having the screen on was just a fluke. i think its my service, cause now that im with the phone and not downstairs i noticed it drops to like one bar almost none then i see CMD window saying "Request timed out" ugh i hate this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Also, when streaming, my speeds go from like 600 kB/s to litterally zero. This has got to be a signal issue correct? ive never had any problem before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Okay so i think ive narrowed it down, when im on the network, it bounces back and forth from HSPA to HSPAP. And i believe the switch is what causes the request timed out errors. Is there any way i can force one or the other?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Caboose13:
have you tried your network settings and leaving it at wcdma only? i had to do that to prevent it from bouncing back and forth also.

Alright. So i decided to get jellybean resurrection on my tel.

Everything went good etc but when i try to start up it starts up does everything.

Then you get the ressurection remix logo and it stays there..

When i used search i read flash it back with odin? etc

I read it but still i have no clue on what to do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Yes you have to use Odin to flash a stock firmware. You can get stock firmware for your phone (providing it is the i9100) from sammobile.com.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S2brah:
Could you explain the steps i have to follow?

My friend which has his S2 rooted explained it to me trough whatsapp but he must've forgotten a step since it failed.

Trying to find the stock rom now.

Use this guide. It explains how to use Odin.

By the way, to set up Odin, download Kies for the drivers, but kill off Kies processes in the Task Manager and make sure you run Odin with Administrator Rights.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i360*:
Wipe data/cache in recovery.

Wipe dalvik cache.

Then flash the Resurrection Remix zip again.

(RR's previous build was ICS, moving to JB, you need to wipe cache and data).

If you need your data and other settings etc you need to reflash ICS RR, backup, then flash JB RR.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Either, or. This person is really struggling to understand the basics. Not sure if they should have a custom ROM in my opinion.

Is it possible to record in stereo using the dual microphones in our Skyrocket, either via an App, ROM Hack, or Kernel Hack? I've searched this forum and Google but haven't found anything answering my question. It seems fairly simple, the Skyrocket has two microphones, one at the bottom (main), and one at the top (for noise suppression), so stereo recording should definitely be possible, I just wonder if it is an API limitation, or kernel limitation (or maybe I just missed something)?

Launchers:

Simply put the best launchers are:

MUSIC AND RINGTONES

Streaming:

Pandora & Slacker

. No need for any others honestly. Both now have ads but are awesome. They use a lot of data so be warned.

Also Spotify now allows streaming...haven't tested or used but always heard good things about it. :thumbup:

DatPiff if you like hiphop and streaming mixtapes.

Ringtones

: these apps can make ringtones out of any mp3 file you have.

Ringdroid

Mp3 Ringtone Maker

Zedge

Music Players:

N7 Music Player

: a different twist in style. Cool look can be difficult to navigate but love it.

Apollo & Walkman

: Both are clean, simple, and awesome. My two usual suspects for playing music.

Realplayer

: Used this for years for music. Still love the interface and simplicity but the rom I use came with walkman and past had apollo and I havent looked back

Google Play

: kinda obvious

Music Identifiers:

Google Ears Googles music identifier. It is shazaam but by google. Don't have a link if someone wants to P.M. me with one I would appreciate it :laugh::good:

Soundhound I bought the full version for .99cents and haven't looked back yet from shazam. Mainly because it is paid for and offers more features than a free shazam,

Shazam I know the paid version is amazing. Lyrics, links, downloads etc. It is worth it to have all three of these cool apps that are the first of its kind.

Movies and Video:

Movie apps:

RunPee: tells you times to pee during a movie. Also tells whether to watch the credits or not. Useful if you go to a theater. It tells you when to pee and not only that but it gives you the exact situation to read while you are peeing so when you get back you know what happened. Also indicates when you should run and pee or get a snack/drink by telling you the exact line to leave at. MUST HAVE even if you go to the movies once in a while. I love this app.

Video Players:

I use MVideo and Mx to play movies on my note.

I like MX better because it has swype controls and its convenient. Also delivers a crisp picture :victory:

As far as watching movies I use Netflix, hulu+.

For movie info IMDB, Flixster, and Moviefone are the most useful I have found.

Note apps:

Quicknotes

Color Crayon

Smemo

SKITCH

All are useful SPen compatible and useful if running AOKP or

AOCP

Sports Apps:

Widgets and score updates/ News

Sportscaster

: Widgets useful

Espn Scorecenter

: widgets useful

Edmondo

: Another widget. I use all three and love them all.

NOTE: All allow you to pick your favorite sports and teams so you are not being bombarded with useless information about the team you hate.

These all are apps I use for Fantasy football and Sports news alike

:

Flipboard

B/R Stream

Scoremobile

Edmondo Sports

For ski reports: Ski&Snow reports.

FOR WATCHING LOVE SPORTS ON THE GO:

WATCH LIVE SPORTS: sports live stream

It is a free app in the market and it is super awesome for streaming games live. For any sport. I love it when I work on Sundays during NFL season... search sport live stream its by luckyappz

[HTC One X] Itadakiimasu:
During my brother's birthday our parents offered us our very first android and smartphone, he took the HTC one X and I got the Samsung Galaxy S3 since both of us wants variety and preference and they both have excellent performance since they are on the top of the market but recently he has lag/slow issues with his HoX and I can't help but just watch from a distance (literally since he lives in the middle-east and I'm in south-east asia atm) since he is using Sense UI and I'm stuck with TouchWiz UI I can't help him anymore further than this so I'm making this thread.

I admit the SGS3 had lag and sluggish issues too at first that's why I got it fixed when I asked for help from the SGS3 forums section, where I removed S voice and turned off some unnecessary options that I never use (kies, nfc, account sync, motion activation, etc). Remember we both have the international versions of our respective phones and we both use SIM - free from any carrier and we are also non-rooted users. Is there any tips to make his phone faster? All I could do was to constantly advice him to keep clearing the ram and turn off apps he isn't using in the task manager since clicking the home button hides the apps in the background.

Even then he is having lag/slow issues, please get back to me asap so I can relay the necessary information to help him enjoy his HoX. Please do not make this into a SGS3 vs HoX comparison thread, please. I am sick and tired of fanboys from both sides debate endlessly. I am just here asking for help since he's 16 and never used an online forum before so I'm here on his behalf. I also told him to read and follow up this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603360 but is there anything more we can do?
[HTC One X] apallohadas:
Your first sentence made it a comparison thread. You could have gotten better responses without the needless SG3 promo.

On the unlikely chance that you are up to something other than an attempt at another comparison thread, I would say that he should flash a Rom with less Bells and whistles.

I don't seem to have this magic lag that only SG3 folk keep talking about.
[HTC One X] Garoto1973:
Rooting and flashing a ROM might do it, there is an add on called Ultra Smooth Rosie (its included in the ViperX ROM) that eliminates the micro lag generated by the Sense 3D animations.

However, before doing that (not sure if your brother doesnt want to mess with rooting/custom ROM s) ask him to install Apex Launcher from the Play Store as well as Home Switcher app.

With Apex Launcher I felt an increase in speed and completely eliminated the small lag I had with Sense. You might want to try it with your SGS3 as well.

Home Switcher app lets you switch between lauchers easily, in a way that you can use Sense or Apex at your convenience.
[HTC One X] Itadakiimasu:
I wasn't making a comparison thread and I had no intention to do so, I felt compelled to add a background story since most people on this part of the forum will acknowledge that I am an S3 user since my forum signature states so and they would think that I am lying about my brother's HoX which I am truthfully not however I appreciate the honest remarks but I do not want to start anything with you. The second paragraph was a hint to the other readers if there is anything similar that I can do for my brother's HoX like what I did with my SGS3 like turning off some settings that are factory default on which might cause the lag/slow issues.

I am using the Nova launcher with my S3 will the Nova run with his HoX as well? since I'm not familiar with the Apex launcher but do thank you for the advice however if the launchers don't work I'll try to look up the roms you mentioned via root and I will ask him if he is willing to root regarding the risks of it. If anyone else has any ideas please do post further, thank you now all I can do is wait for him to get back from school since there is a 4 hour difference in time zones :P
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
apex works fine. nova as well, tell him to try it. sense is heavy. if he still wants sense, tell him to try a few roms

Click thanks if I helped
[HTC One X] Itadakiimasu:
Can you please elaborate by what do you mean sense is heavy? :)
[HTC One X] godutch:
The performance has greatly improved in the soon to be released 2.xx roms, tell him to wait a few weeks until the update is released
[HTC One X] Flo95:
Sense needs a lot of power and lags because the CPU (on stock ROMs) doesn't ramp up fast enough.

I'd just flash a ROM onto it. Mine runs 100% lag free now and smooth like the iPad, iPhone 4S and SGS III
[HTC One X] Itadakiimasu:
Is that the stock rom or the flash rom which requires rooting?

You mean root it? which rom are we talking about?

P.S. thank you everyone for so much help, now all I have to do is wait for him and damn it I haven't seen him online yet due to time zone difference. Going to wait on the replies for the quotes I did then going to call it a day :)
[HTC One X] coos lick:
As others have said, other launchers are lighter than sense, so will give a percieved speed boost. You will not be able to use the sense widgets though. They only work with sense.

This may get him through until the 4.0.4 updates start rolling out - hopefully just a few weeks.

I'd avoid killing background apps and trying to manage things manually. Android is very good at managing stuff itself - you can't do better. If you are always trying to close/ kill apps the.phone will just start them up from scratch when it needs them - which takes more power and battery. Leave them alone!

If you go down the root/ Rom route - please be careful. You can break the phone if you make a mistake. You will also lose access to official updates - you will need to rely on xda for roms and updates (though this is likely to be faster!)
[HTC One X] Garoto1973:
Flashing a rom is not extremely complicated but one needs to be sure to understand all the steps needed and why they are needed coming from a galaxy s2 myself it took me a week to read all the relevant threads as it needs some extra steps compared to flashing a Samsung phone.

If your brother is not into getting technical I would recommend he install apex or nova launcher (they are basically the same). The difference was amazing for me. In this way you he can wait for the next official update. It's true he will lose the ability to use sense widgets but there are very good alternative. There is even an app in this forum that enables you to use the iconic htc clock widget with apex or nova. Also, htc wallpapers are still available.
[HTC One X] godutch:
If you want it now you will need to root but the update will be released around aug 18th for international roms, so you won't need to root then and keep your warranty

[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
If resetting the device doesn't work, you don't have access to recovery mode/bootloader/fastboot or even download mode (depending on your device), then there is pretty much nothing you can really do to fix it yourself. The only other possibility would be to try to run the stock ruu (if it has one).
[General Questions and Answers] nikkop:
Thanks for the suggestions, but that would suck :(

Must be something I can do.

It's a Chinese brand tablet, the quality is good but this is the only issue.

However, if I plug in the tablet to the computer, something called "WinDroid Linker" shows up on the PC and I remote to the tablet while I'm on the screen that says I need to do a factory reset. From there I can reach keyboard settings, but that's all I've figured out so far.

Due to the fact that I'm able to remote the tablet, shouldn't I be able to do something from there?

I'm not, however, able to reach the storage as far as I know.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Maybe, but only if you can bypass the part.
