can someone do that?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] thecresta:
Try downloading Wake All from the market - link here. It's not perfect I'm afraid - I've found the homescreen is 'inactive' on wake, and you need to press one of the bottom touch buttons to activate it. But it works.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could enable this feature at a lower level. I'm sure I remember seeing it in a CM build...

I too am a little annoyed at the power button being on the top of the phone. It barely protrudes from the case, and when you're gripping it with one hand it's not easily accessible.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kgian2007:
thanks it works!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Exactly the same problem here with the home-screen not being active. Also it often returns straight to the homescreen and bypasses the screen-lock which I have set up for security reasons. So annoying that I've had to uninstall Wake All for now - hopefully this will be solved in a future version or somebody will come up with a better solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] chrilla.1980:
I got a galaxy gio awhile ago and i´m real happy with it except for one problem......it seem i can´t connect it to bluetooth devices except for other cellphones.

I have tried mine with an OBD2 reader and a wayfinder GPS dongle and a Jabra headset and it doesn´t find any of those 3 devices.

Everything else works fine on the phone and as i stated it can connect to other phones thru bluetooth so it seems to be a program issue.

I really don´t wanna flash my phone with another firmware as i am happy with what i got now and i´m also no pro at reflash this phone so i am wondering if there is a solution only for my bluetooth problem?

I have tried these 3 bluetooth devices with another gio and it connects without a problem to that other one so i know the devices is working in general.

Firmware in my GIO is:

Android 2.3.6

Gingerbread

If you need more to try to resolve this bluetooth issue info just give me a shout.

Maybe someone else have had this kind of problem also!?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benveq:
Hi to everyone,

I have 16 GB version of sgs 2 and it shows I have 11.5 GB free space as internal and 8GB free space as external and it is ok for me. What I dont understand is when I download apps from Google Play does it install to internal sd ? ( 11.5 GB ) because when I looked at storage usage my space becoming less from rom side which I have 1.2 GB free space. How can I install all apps to internal sd ?

thanks for your help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gb.yolo:
When you download an app from Google Play, it will go to your internal storage. If you want, you can move it to your internal SD card by settings-apps-all-yourApp-move to SD (simplest way).

If you want to move it to the external sd card, use apps such as Link2Sd (on market), which needs root access.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benveq:
Actually what I want is to use internal SD because I have 16 gb free and I dont want to install apps to my external sd card because when I unplug it I wont have chance to use apps since it is installed sd card beyond of it I wanna use my sd card just for my photos and some musics. So should I take a rest :D if it will install apps directly to internal sd?

edit : what is the reason that when I install apps total space 1.97 gb decreases? if I am installing apps to internal storage where it has 11.5 gb ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benveq:
Storage available for applications

Hi all,

I have an Sii gt-i9100g running ICS 4.03 (non-rooted).

Recently I've been getting an error when applications try to update: "Application cannot be installed in the default install location".

So I checked my phone storage.

phone memory: 1.97Gb

Applications: 647mb

Free: 247mb

USB storage has about 10.5Gb available.

I uninstalled a few applications I didn't need on a regular basis and then the phone was able to update the installed applications successfully.

I went in to application management and there's no option to move the installed applications to USB storage (I don't have an external SD card)

So this raises a few concerns:

1: How come there's a mystery 1.1 gigabytes that isn't accounted for in the phone storage? I thought all of Android ICS was stored in that missing 4GB of USB storage memory...

2: If the phone doesn't allow further installations to phone memory when there's only about 200mb available, and if the phone has reserved 1.1 gigabytes for some hidden purpose, then is it true that without buying an SD card, we only really have about 700MB available for applications?!

3: Why isn't the option to move applications to USB storage available under ICS? I believe this was available in Gingerbread.

Anyway I could be wrong with all of this, I'm new to the SII, but if its the case that this supposedly 16GB device only truly has 700MB available for apps without an External SD card, then I'm gonna be pretty angry.

This is from another forum and same problem like mine
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Let me explain somethings you guys have failed to understand (the beginner's way):

1.Your galaxy SII has 16Gig of inbuilt memory

2. the 16G was partitioned by Samsung into 2.

3. First partition is for System (1.97Gig), while the second partition is for Storage (11.49Gig).

4. Apps are installed by default into the System (reserved) partition (1.97)

5. System partition contains preinstalled system apps and media content + the apps you installed.

- therefore, even if you are just opening your phone for the first time, some part of the 1.97Gig will be used up significantly

6. When you connect your phone to PC, only your Second partition (11.49G), is mounted so that you can transfer files to your phone. That's why this storage is often referred to as Internal SD.

7. Apps are installed on the System partition by default for faster loading.

8. Even though apps are installed by default on the system (reserved) partition, some of the apps can also be moved to the internal SD.

This can be achieved in two ways:

a) without installing app:

- Goto Settings > Apps > select app of your choice, especially the big ones, > Select Move to SD card

b)with third-party apps:

Apps like titanium backup, app2SD etc can move any app to your SD.

Note:

1. Moving Launchers and Widgets to SD will break their function, so do not do this

2. this process can be necessary when you run out of space on System (reserved) partition.

9. Your MicroSD card is referred to as External SD

If you have more questions, let me know
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benveq:
Thanks for detailed explanations but What if I dont have an external minisd card and I want to use 11.5 gb of internal sd ? For example HTC One X has built in 32 gb space and it doesnt have any sd card slot right? so they use internal sd for everything like in iphone ?

I found a topic at xda to change usage like this :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846115

can you look at this ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. The HTC will still have a system reserved partition.

2. Yes, you can use the internal SD.

check my previous post, I'd already explained how to move apps to Sd (internal)

If you understand ADB, you can install apps directly to SD card, but that's a little advance

this app (free) makes moving Application to SD very easy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benveq:
Well, I know that app on Google but it only works if you have external sd card. I dont have it and I wanna use internal 11 GB free space as sd card.to install all apps however when I install apps it doesnt use 16gb part it uses 2 GB rom side and now I have 600Mb free space although I can use 11GB. But I found this on google

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead_assault:
Hi Jokesy,

I've got a problem.

After I moved some apps to SD Card (using Link2SD or Titanium Backup), they are gone from home screen, app drawer list,and even in the list of installed apps they still missing. However, the files are still in disk but for some reasons, the OS cant detect them.

They only came back (to home screen and app drawer) after I perform Hot Boot.

Could you please explain why that was happening?

And how to avoid that problem?

I am using 4.1.2 Wanamlite XWLSW and stock kernel.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Which launcher/homescreen launcher are you using?

Instead of hot boot, just go to options and restart your homescreen launcher if it's supported.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead_assault:
hmmm, I'm using TouchWiz Launcher. I dont think it was caused by launcher, because I checked my application list in Titanium Backup when I rebooted normally, the missing apps were listed as uninstalled.

For some reasons, apps that moved to SD Card, only installed (or loaded) if I reboot using Hot Boot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
That's weird. Try moving the apps to SD using Titanium backup, also try another launcher e.g Holo or Nova launcher and see what happens.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead_assault:
I tried using Link2SD and Titanium Backup, but after reboot normally, they are still gone. I tried Smart Launcher, but they stil didnt appear. Because they were listed as uninstalled. The files are there, but the system doesnt load them. Must still do hot reboot first before the system loads them.

I guess I'll take 1 example for disappearing app, this information taken from Link2SD (after Hot Boot):

Temple Run 2 Version 1.2.1 (on SD Card)

What actually Hot Boot does and normal reboot does not?

I might be crazy but it seems like only certain cables able to charge my phone under the USB charging moniker while others say AC POWER.

Thank you

p.s the one that came with the phone says AC POWER.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:

[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Bull. There's nothing special about LG's USB cables.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

It's not the cable that determines that. It's whether you connect to a power-only USB port (i.e., USB power adapter) or connect to a computer USB port (which will charge at a lower rate, but still works). Also, different USB adapters charge at different rates. The one that came with the phone charges at 1.2A. Computer USB ports are limited to 500mA (= 0.5A).

That said, I'd recommend a USB cable from Monoprice.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maplewood:
I had been running Synergy R72 (with the bootloader unlocked).

Today I tried to flash CM-10 Milestone using Rom Manager. It failed. No biggy right?

The research I did suggested using Odin to flash a couple of files (VRALEC, VRAFL2, Root66). Those processes caused Odin errors too and did not complete and Odin finally got stock at "CS."

After trying to restart Odin a few times (another suggestion) I did a battery pull and restarted the phone (into DL mode) and got the dreaded "System Software not authorized by Verizon has bee found on your phone." (I was searching for the 16GB .pit file in hopes of pushing that to the phone)

Some posts suggest using Odin to get around this but I can't get Odin to even recognize the phone. I tried to use the Galaxy Tool Kit to connect to the phone but it never found it although I didn't exhaust every option on the Took Kit menu).

I think I now have a very personal relationship with the word "Bricked ."

What are my options/solutions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
So you can't put your phone into download mode at this point?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maplewood:
that is correct. Only lights up with the "Unauthorized" screen.

One caveat. This phone is often hard to get into that mode (half the time it boots into "normal") But I've tried to get to the DL mode more times than I care to think about. And will try some more.

Aargh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
I'd keep trying, see if ADB recognizes it and put in "adb reboot download" without the quotes. If that doesn't work, invest in or build a USB jig to force it into download mode. You're SOL without download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maplewood:
thanks for that advice. A couple of notes:

- When I do try to boot into DL I do see that tiny blue text top left as if it wants to go into DL mode.

- when you say "see if ADB recognizes it" I'm not at all sure what you refer to? I have ADB drivers on my PC. Is there something to do with those?

- I'm happy to build or buy a USB jig. what the hell is that?

Hmm. What happens if you do take it to Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maplewood:
(I should think a bit more before typing).

I DL'd ADB and Fastboot.

Please provide the exact command strings etc.

I assume that I connect the phone via USB and turn it on. (It will display the "Unauthorized" screen.

Then do I open a command prompt and type "USB reboot download"

If that's correct I get an "error: device not found"

Running "SDK Manager" in the \lib directory returns this error:

FAILED TO EXECUTE tools\android.bat error 2

The system cannot find the file specified.

This actually gives me hope that perhaps ADB isn't correctly installed (not that I know why or how to repair).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
When you get to the Unauthorized screen, did you pull the battery and then reinsert, then hold power+home+volume down? This should put it into download mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maplewood:
Thanks for your help.

Yes, I've done that many times.

I do briefly see the phone display the tiny blue text top left that evidently presages the DL mode but it just goes "Unauthorized"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
You can buy a usb jig from mobile tech videos, Google it. Also look up the tons of guides for adb. You get the sdk and android platform tools, from there you open a command prompt in the folder containing adb-windows.exe (I don't think they renamed it yet, you can for ease of use though to just adb.exe), put the command in adb reboot download and you should be set. Make sure your phone is connected and turned on.

Tl;Dr just look it up lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maplewood:
Recovering from soft brick

Well the stars must have re-aligned. I can finally get into DL mode.

But I'm not sure what is on the phone so am quite clueless as to what to start rebuilding. I had been following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840030&page=5 when things went pear shaped.

I'm gonna follow the measure twice, cut once methodology next but don't know what files to try to flash to the phone. (that thread recommended VRALEC, VFRALF2 and Root66. It believe things crapped out with Root66)

<<TIME PASSES>>

Flashing VRALEC.bootchain.tar.7z worked fine.

However trying to add . BOOTLOADER_I535VRALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar (or more precisely the MD5 version thereof) fails because every copy of the file I find evidently is "invalid"

Odin says:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid

<OSM> BOOTLOADER-I535VRALF2-618049-REV09-user-low-ship.tar-2-.md5 is invalid.

<OSM> End...

As I've tried to download that file from different sources I'm starting to think that the problem is not in the file but in something I'm doing. ??

BTW: the phone displays the following:

Try charging your phone for at least 4 hours then try booting it up again - HTC have some kernel code that means if the battery ran out, it wont boot up until the phone is at least 40% charged
[HTC Sensation] indresh88:
But during my flashing i was at 60% battery....
[HTC Sensation] indresh88:
Orange led when charging
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I'd try the uninterrupted charging as suggested. Or try another battery and see if that helps, assuming here it's battery related. My device did the same thing once but I was not installing anything At the time but it turned black only charging light world come on. I immediately switched out my battery(even though my percentage was about 40 when it turned black) after I switched out that battery my device booted. The thing that concerns me is you were installing firmware when it happened am I correct? So if you can get a charge then you will have to make sure to reinstall firmware when you get your charge. Try to switch out battery see if it will help. Best of luck.
