I had this exact same problem on my hero and am still having it now.

My assumption was it was T-Mobile UK's network

Sent from my CyanogenMod Desire HD
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamman:
i have 2 questions for my g2

1) is there a way to make the rear speaker louder than stock setting yet?

2) is there a way to have the phone vibrate longer when you get a call or text than the stock setting

thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Becksman:
Regarding the second part of your second question:

In some SMS programs it is possible to change the vibration interval and length. "SMS Popup" offers such a possibility for example, I think (not certain) Chomp SMS and Handcent might offer the same options.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
Regarding your first question:

Probably. But it's not a good idea. You already get a little bit of distortion at maximum volume now, there would probably be a lot more distortion if you increased the volume even a little bit higher.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamman:
i do have them and they are better but was looking for something longer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sk17z0:
You would think HTC would/could have put in a better speaker. I guess they figured people would use BT instead of speaker phone and headphones (since the phone finally has a standard headphone jack) instead of the speaker. I used speaker phone a lot of times on my G1 so I was disappointed to hear how low it was on the G2.

Hello

anyone have any tips for getting the most from the camera? just using the stock cam, but unless the photo is taken with the lighting from the sun, it looks abit poo

anyone have any tips for making it that tiny bit better?
[XPERIA X10 General] isthisreallife:
Get vignette.It is a paid app but totally worth it.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
CLEAN THE LENS.

There's so many threads on here with pictures from people's phones, and they're all fuzzy because the lens has something on it. Even if you can't see anything, wipe the lens before taking a photo.
[XPERIA X10 General] aussiesausage:
i hve vignette, but in my opinion it looks alot crapper then the stock so i uninstalled, though i didnt refund it
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Same here.
[XPERIA X10 General] XERO_Racer:
Tbh vigette is actually, i just take the pictures using the stock camera app and from there i just edit the pictures using vigette
[XPERIA X10 General] hibiskus:
well generally x10 camera suffers from over exposing, and pictures lack of contrast and they are bit washed out. Stock camera app has greatest usabillity, because yu can choose macro and sport modes (with others aswell) nad you can change exposure, but in terms of image processing it is worst, because it uses highest JPEG compression(think they improved it in 2.1) and colours al always pale (except reds).

Vignete is good cause it uses flash, and uses minimum JPEG compression but they are both behind Camera 360 app, which has best image processing.

EDIT: I added a reply from Tuxstyle on one simillar topic I started:

"Well, more important than those modes is:

- use the EV compensation.

go with it minus one or two steps and keep the sun behind you.

also, lowering the EV helps in low light too because will reduce the ISO.

ofcourse, in low light you will need better hands

- another very very important thing is: metering modes.

for macro images use spot (also use spot if you have most of the image around your object with one color: ex. a kid in the snow. in this case camera will do the metering where your focus point is ... the kid ... so the kid will be "better exposed").

use average for landscapes and other "wide" images ....

center ... well, for close stuff.

- do not enable image stabilization.

trust your hands

the camera on X10 is compressing the images way too much so, they become soft.

image stabilization will make them even more soft than that.

What i don't like about the X10 camera is the focus.

I have no idea how is choosing the focus point(s) so, i decided the camera app is crap.

I started to use vignette but is slow as a pig riding a donkey so, i moved on.

Camera360 is working fine.

You have time to wait for the pic to be saved and you know you won't loose a good shot?

Vignette is better. Better quality and best focus from this 3 apps.

Camera 360?

Focus almost as good as vignette.

Quality almost as good as vignette but if you zoom a little you can see the difference.

Speed? A Ferrari vs. Ford Focus (not RS ) if you compare it with Vignette :P

Hope this helps."

I am new here but just wanted to know if anyone else has had issues with their Samsung Vibrant overheating???? I have had this phone for less than 2 months from my carrier and now it is dead and in for repair!! I went to go grab the phone and the screen did not come on; however, the buttons at the bottom were lit up so i tried the buttons on the side of the phone (on/off switch) still nothing. The top half of my phone (not where the battery is) got so hot that it burnt my hand. Then I noticed blue, red, green pixel stars on the screen (which by the way burnt the screen). I don't know if it is a faulty battery/charger? Or what. When I spoke to my carrier, they told me that this is the first they have heard about anything like my case. It has been in the shop for more than 1 month now and I am getting very annoyed..as they gave me a loaner Galaxy to use and I HATE IT!!! Anyone have any suggestions??? I did not game on this phone or anything...

Thanks so much,

Pam
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Happened to an HTC Aria I had, and had to get a new replacement to AT&T. The digitizer went (burnt?) out, and since it's a touchscreen only phone it became unusable because I couldn't really do anything on it.

What kind of charger did you use? Especially car charger...
[Vibrant General] nssunset:
I have never had it on with a car charger. I have heard that one should put the phone on plane mode as the green charge battery light will not come on. From what I hear they are replacing the screen (which they have no choice as it is burnt) as well as the board. Why is it taking soooooooooooo long? I usually have it on WiFi all the time; however, this should not do anything. It makes me mad....I have waited for this phone to come out and when I got it, I thought there was no other...until this happened. I did notice it acting kinda slow and I realize some phones do get warm...but should NEVER get hot enough to burn one's hand!!!!
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I'm guessing you didn't OC the phone or anything.

Yea, I keep mine on WiFi basically 80% of the time, but the phone (in stock form) turns that off when the phone sleeps. I have brightness set to auto.

I notice my phone gets very hot when I have it on a car charger, and I'm using a charger from T-Mobile. It doesn't happen when I have it charging from an outlet in the wall through a USB Extended cable.

That's the only time I notice my phone getting hot.

Also, using the phone on WiFi tends to keep the phone cooler than using it on a data connection - I've noticed that for a few phones I've owned.

The overheating issue was also a big problem with HTC HD2s (except those phones would just go into a reboot loop/lock up, instead of burning up :P ).
[Vibrant General] nssunset:
No I did not overcharge the phone; however, I do notice that the battery life is almost nil on this phone. Full charge does not last 2 long on the phone and I only use it basically to text my daughters...and a little texam holden lol. But I have noticed with this galaxy (the loaner phone) the battery stays good for 2 - 3 days! Although I really hate this phone so I do not use that much! How would they be able to tell if it is the battery?? From what they have told me, they are only replacing the screen and the board....Well something made it go hot!! Battery or charger...When I took the phone back to Aliant I was going to give them everything including the charger, but they just sent it away with the battery. How do they know it was not the charger?? Getting very frustrated....I have always owned a Samsung phone and have never had any issues until this phone....makes me want to go back....but I do like the Vibrant when it was working....esp the screen.....
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Only things I've ever come across that have made a Vibrant overheat is using cheap non-oem extended batteries, overclocking the CPU / GPU or leaving it a car in a 120+ climate then expecting to make heavy of use it without allowing it to cool down first.
[Vibrant General] nssunset:
I have never replaced the battery...it is brand new (less than 2 months old)....Thank god I had insurance on it... One would think that it would not take this long to come back from being fixed!!! Have never left in car....don't have to worry about the 120 degrees we are INTO snow now!! LOL... I am disappointed with Samsung. How can they tell what made it go that way?? Battery? Home Charger? They should replace the battery in my opinion as well!!
[Vibrant General] jonjonk:
How often does the Vibrant overheat? Is this a common issue?
[Vibrant General] nssunset:
not sure.....it only took one time for me that fried the phone...Now they are supposedly replacing the screenh (they have to it burnt an image on it) as well as the board.
[Vibrant General] nssunset:
I have never heard of this happening with the vibrant. They claim they have not heard of this issue??!! I cannot believe this. I would like to know what caused this. I thought perhaps it was the WiFi being on all the time, but I do not think this is why. I do not game on it....I do not overcharge it (only charge it via home charger when it shows battery getting low - which might i add says it is almost drained at mid day??!)
[Vibrant General] jonjonk:
Seriously, I have never heard of a phone overheating. I mean, sure they get hot when talking on it, but never overheat.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
my phone has gotten really hot gaming on it while charging (stock charger and moto cliq charger), but it's never died or even decreased performance from it. even when oc'd.
[Vibrant General] stoanhart:
Mine has gotten warm twice: once, I left Google Maps w/ GPS open when I put the phone in my pocket, and didn't realize it until I felt the heat in my pocket; the other time, I left ScummVM running (which apparently doesn't suspend properly), draining my battery over about two hours, again in my pocket.

Both times the phone was only warm to the touch. Nothing like you've described.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
So do you have T-Mobile or Bell? If you have Bell (sounds like you do, I'm 99% positive) this is limited to the Bell i9000m Vibrant and not the T-Mobile T959 Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
There are threas on T-Mobile's official Vibrant forum about this issue.
[Vibrant General] Paticakeman:
My vibrant gets very very hot from time to time. I keep it on a usb hooked up to my computer at work with wifi on all day. Sometimes it will get super hot and not want to charge. I restart the phone and it usually fixes the problem. But its not the battery that gets hot, its for sure the yup part of the phone.
[Vibrant General] gatesmarch123:
Sounds to me like you had a bad battery...this can cause the battery to overheat while charging. I work in construction and when the batteries on my power tools fail you can cook an egg on them when they are charging.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
my phone goes to 120plus with me playing while charging. Why don't they just replace thw phone?
[Vibrant General] SquareBare:
OMG there is a ScummVM emu!!!! BRBBRBRBRBRBRBRB.....
[Vibrant General] ZachLL88:
Did u happen to have anytype of case on your vibrant. I notuced when I charge my phone with the case on it got prety hot. Not to where it would burn my hand, but hotter than I really thought my phone should be while charging. So I take the case off when I put it on the charger.
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
I had this happen with a Verizon XV6800 PPC. It is just faulty hardware and that is what warranties are for. Just be glad it didn't do like some Apple devices do and bust into flames.

It isn't normal but it does happen. The real question is why they took any more than 5 minutes to give you a replacement. Are they under the impression they are going to be able to repair it?
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
It isn't super common but it does happen. This is why lithium ion batteries have circuits that safeguard against these things. But sometimes those safeguards fail because of defective components. Remember when the iPod's were doing it? My XV6800 damn near busted into flames when it failed. It got so hot that I couldn't pick it up with my bare hands so I just stood there and watched and listened while it cooked itself. It even warped the surface of my desk from the heat and made it bubble up.

You could leave it for years and it wouldn't hurt anything. The phone stops charging the battery when it is full even if it remains plugged in.

From the interwebs...

"Li-ion batteries are not as durable as nickel metal hydride or nickel-cadmium designs,[citation needed] and can be dangerous if mistreated. They may suffer thermal runaway and cell rupture if overheated or overcharged.[44] In extreme cases, these effects may be described as "explosive." Furthermore, over discharge can irreversibly damage a battery. To reduce these risks, batteries generally contain a small circuit that shuts down when the battery moves outside the safe range of 3–4.2 V.[24][33] When stored for long periods, however, the small current drawn by the protection circuitry itself may drain the battery; normal chargers are then ineffective. More sophisticated battery analyzers can recharge deeply discharged cells by slow-charging them to first reactivate the safety circuit and allow the battery to accept charge. Overdischarge can short-circuit the cell, in which case recharging can be unsafe.[45]

Other safety features are required:[24]

* shut-down separator (for overtemperature)

* tear-away tab (for internal pressure)

* vent (pressure relief)

* thermal interrupt (overcurrent/overcharging)

These devices occupy useful space inside the cells, reduce their reliability[citation needed]; ,and irreversibly disable the cell when activated. They are required because the anode produces heat during use, while the cathode may produce oxygen. These devices and improved electrode designs reduce/eliminate the risk of fire or explosion.

These safety features increase costs compared to nickel metal hydride batteries, which require only a hydrogen/oxygen recombination device (preventing damage due to mild overcharging) and a back-up pressure valve.[33]

Many types of lithium-ion cell cannot be charged safely below 0°C."

Help!!!!! My vibrant overheated yesterday after 30 to 60 minutes mobile ap shaeing my 3g to my netbook using wifi, and it shutted down, and now my battery won't charge and it in 0% (charge level)

Any help other than buy another one? I am from chile, and the galaxy version common here is the i9000, or something like that, the european one. Would that phone battery work? if not, can someone guide me to an internet seller wich have original batterys?

Thanks!

It's probably not the battery. U probably fried the motherboard. Check the eBay.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whit3fir3:
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy tablet this weekend with out a 3G data plan as my idea was to just tether it to my cell phone where I have an unlimited data plan. There are several apps that will turn your phone into a wifi hot spot but all of them create an AD-HOC wifi network. Much to my surprise, by default, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will not see or allow you to connect to AD-HOC wifi networks. I took me some time to figure out how to get around this. I figured if I posted the information it might same someone else the same problems I had:

1. ROOT TABLET (This is a MUST)

2. MOUNT /system as RW - #mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

3. MAKE A BACKUP OF /system/bin/wpa_supplicant

4. REPLACE wpa_supplicant WITH VERSION I HAVE ATTACHED TO POST

5. MOUNT /system as RO - #mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

6. TURN wifi OFF and BACK ON.

Once you complete step 6 if there is a AD-HOC network in range it will show up as ssid(adhoc) in the available network list. Once you see the AD-HOC network you will be able to configure it and connect to it like you would any other wireless network.

nope no good

nope still cant get this damn thing to see my iphone but thanks anyway lol
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codebug:
Can you iPhone create a ad-hoc? That's maybe why you don't see.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
ad hoc

I use pdanet to turn my iphone into a hotspot. I was told by someone that pdanet creates an ad-hoc and thats how devices connect to it. It works on other phones , IPads, notebooks, the only device that doesnt see my iphone as a hotspot is my Galaxy tab. I have a friend who has the vibrant and when she turns on her tethering app my galaxy tab sees it and connects. Basically im stumped
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codebug:
I was wondering if you kown, can the Tab create a ad-hoc? I would like to use the Tab to create a ad-hoc network, other devices can join it. It looks like its "Mobile AP" is doing it. But without SIM card, it does not active. Same as you, I don't have data plan for it, even no SIM card inserted. Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
if its like the samsung phones then yeah it should be able to. Is ut not working when you tried it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codebug:
I don't have SIM card inserted. I don't see the network SSID from my laptop, so I think it's not enabled because there is no SIM card.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp1043:
If you are trying to use your Apple iPhone with the unlimited plan to tether to the Tab, try using MyWi in either Cydia or ROCK. It works great as this is what I use since my iPhone plan is unlimited and it sees the new Adhoc connection with this update above.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
hmm worth a shot

i tried it a few days ago but ill try it with this new wpa and let u know
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
but of course my free trial ran out lol ugh such is life

worked for me...picks up my wifi tether from my D1
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
did it not pick it up before you did this?

oh well theres a waste of twenty bucks , still cant find the iphone
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
hey sp1043 you just activated mywi and the galaxy tab found your iphone? all you had to do is install the wpa file listed above?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmace:
I connect my tab to my Desire all the time, I'm on the bus with them connected right now. I've never been able to connect an iPhone and Android in the past by ad-hoc wifi though

Maff, from my Tab
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy talk:
connection works fine between my Galaxy Tab and DroidX using "wireless tether" from the market.

only issue is that even when i stop the tether the Tab still believes it has a connection to the Adhoc network. only way to get it to connect to anything else is to go in and manually do it.

anyone else had an issue similar to this?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
so it seems to be an iphone android issue greatttttttt

I am a noob of this,could you please provide the detailed full command of step 3 & 4?thanks a bunch.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
All I did was use root explorer

1.scroll down to system click

2.click on the bin folder

3 scroll down to the wpa file

4 click and hold a window will pop up then select move

5 go back to root

6 select sd card

7 then select the folder you want to put the backup in

8 then hit paste and that should move the file from system/bin to whatever folder you want

hopefully that helps

If your friend is using the samsung mobile AP for wi-fi tethering, it isn't an ad-hoc connection, it's infrastructure...

can anyone tell me what im doing wrong i used z4root to root my tab no problem it says everything is rooted i installed a few programs that said i need to be rooted to install, gave them super user permissions. now i installed the android commander and it says that my tab is not rooted . I can use adb to pull files from my tab but i cant push anything to it . Anyone see what im doing wrong ? should i unroot then use a different rooting program maybe?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgates222:
