Not sure why manufacturers are blatantly ignoring such an important aspect of a phone, but they most certainly are. I would sacrifice a lot to have very good speakers on a phone. As for the SGS, I own one and the speakers are definitely overrated imo.

Waiting for the day someone will make an android device with a blackberry like speakerphone.

Speaker of cellphone

Hi,

I am using both Samsung and Nokia cellphone but speaker of the Samsung is the best one. Please try it.

[General Topics] Blåburk:
Must say that I am liking the X10 Mini speakers and gladly use it.

Not a really great sound but more than accaptable, with some (itty-bitty)traces of bass-sound, too...

Compared to the built-in speakers in the Netbook, a Hazel phone and a passive pocket stereo speakers. The X10 Mini's Mono speaker is really great.

Trust me tho not better than the huawei ascend I tried the samsungs speakers and not even close, which freakin irritating because here we got this wack ass phone the huawei ascend m860 from metro pcs and its got a better speaker than the best phones out there which are the samsung and htc it is sad, these companies have the money to build a much better speaker yet they are ignoring that important part of the phone. And I agree samsung has a better speaker than htc but its not that great either, they both sound like **** compare to the huawei ascend.

Well dude listen to the huawei ascend m860 speaker yu will be amazed by it. The bass is incredible, the sound quality is just freaking awesome, yu can feel the music on the phone like if yu were holding one of them pc speaker.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serisium:
I was flashing this 3 button fix with Clockworkmod recovery. After applying the update from zip, everything seemed to be working fine, so I pulled the battery so I could test it out without having to use CWR's reboot option, then waiting for it to boot and shut off. When I tried to turn it back on, nothing happened. I tried to boot it with the recovery 3 button combo and it didn't respond(still a completely black screen).

Also, I'm not sure whether or not CWR was actually flashed. I was accessing using the update.zip found in this thread. When booting into recovery, I got into the normal recovery screen, and it was only after I hit "reinstall packages" that I got into CWR. It was through this method that I tried to install the 3-button fix.

What I've tried:

This key combo: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775911

The phone didn't respond at all.

Switching the battery for a fully charged one. Still no response.

Inserted my homemade USB jig to no avail. I've tested it with a different Captivate and I've confirmed that it works.

Anyone got any ideas or "magic" key combos I should try. If not, would it be possible to send it into Samsung/AT&T and get it repaired/replaced?

EDIT: I think I'm in the same situation as these guys: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977086

It's a build 1008 that I'm working with.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
I'm on a similar issue. Phone is dead, no response to anything at all. Not even my previous jig that I used last time.

But it happened while I was flashing with Odin one click. Got stuck at the factoryfs.rfs step. Had to unplug it but after that I never came back up :(

I ordered a premade usb jig, and it'll arrive next week. If that doesn't work then I'm thinking of getting a cheap one off ebay, I can't spend another $500 considering this phone is only 4 months old.

The other choice is getting a broken phone for even less money, and replace the motherboard. But I don't know if there are considerable differences between phone batches.

I'll be Android-less for the next two weeks though, and that truly sucks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serisium:
Which build is your phone? It's located behind the battery to the left of one of the barcodes. I've heard that 2010 and 2012 break when used with odin one click.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
Have you guys tried the volume up and down trick right after you put battery back in while its connected by usb to the PC? I bricked my phone to the point where it would not even turn on and finally was able to get it back into download by using that method. Kind of tricky but you plug phone into usb to pc. Take battery out, while holding volume up and down put battery in and keep holding until download screen comes up. I hope that works for you, if you havent tried yet

I have gone so far as to brick my phone to the point where it would not turn on. After a few hours it was only a screen RST_STATUS 0x0. The one post you linked says to hold vol up/down and power. But try not pressing power..only up and down. I could not get mine to do anything until I tried someone else's method of not pressing power and only volume buttons
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigersunlimited:
I had a soft brick last night. Phone would start with Phone ++ PC connect picture, nothing else. And here's what I did to get into Download:

- Pull SIM out

- Pull MicroSD out

- Pull Battery out

- Put Battery back in

- Hold Vol Down button (only the vol down)

- Plug USB cable in

- Phone boots into Download mode

The 3-button or Vol UP and DN key trick didn't work. Only the Vol DN and USB plug-in worked for me. I hope you have good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andeke07:
My first time using Odin One Click presented me with a similar situation, stalled after it said "DO NOT UNPLUG..." ... I don't have a Jig but nothing else I tried was working...Held down power button to be presented with a black screen, no backlight or anything...

Pulled the battery out, waited a full 30 seconds (battery pulls less than that didn't work for me) and put it back in, Volume Up + Down and plugged in USB and it worked.

Best of luck to you. I was feeling kind of queasy after finding out my first attempt at flashing could have been disastrous.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
If you are hard bricked and have no response even with a JIG, I can still fix it for you. Just PM me for questions...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowake:
This happened a few times to me. I remove the battery, open odin one click, hold up and down vol buttons, then plug in the usb cable. It typically throws me.back into dl mode. Be sure you are using JV6 (see Icezar's post in Dev section) when going back to stock because it doesnt include bootloaders and makes hard bricking less likely.

Bricked Samsung galaxy s2 i1900t

Hi

I tried upgrading from ice cream sandwich to jellybean and ended up bricking my phone when the flashing failed and I panicked and unplugged my phone. I think it failed because i was flashing something for a different model rather than the i1900t as this is the New Zealand/Australian model. I cant find any button combos that will put my phone into download mode and the phone doesn't turn on. The only life that it seems to exhibit is get warm around the sim card area when i put the battery in. Help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Download mode is vol down+power on the GB bootloaders. But if a JIG doesn't get you in download mode, there are 2 possible reasons: 1st- Battery isn't charged. 2nd- Your phone is bricked.

If it's the 2nd one then your only hope is with mobiletechvideos .com (Connexion2005 on xda). He can use his JTAG to push the GB bootloaders into your phone.

After unplugging?
[Defy General] ketonkss4:
My battery life has always been pretty sh**ty even b4 all this phone hacking and crazy apps..

Currently it takes me aroune 10 to 15 mins to drop to 90%... but that maybe just a bad batt app reading..

nevertheless I cant go a whole day without charging once or twice...

I carry my charger with me everywhere.

How people get 3 days with this phone is beyond me... Maybe its bcuz I love to use my phone mostly as an ipod.
[Defy General] watt9493:
from 6 am to 2 pm still above 90. (in school, airplane) actually sitting at 67 right now and unplugged at 530 am. :D
[Defy General] ketonkss4:
OMG.... Teach me your ways... What are you running? Any Custom rom? Do you like not use many widgets? Or is it simply cuz you barely touched your phone all day?.... lol even i did that just idle sitting it would probably be 1/2 batt in like 4-5 hours
[Defy General] hah2110:
+1.........
[Defy General] lefedor:
if u mean std widget u should know that it switches to 90 when actual procentage is 9x. So when @ ledefy && motocharge i have 99, there is 90 @ widget.
[Defy General] Peglezn:
I get around 7hours wih 100-90%, it drops to 99% as soon as i unplug
[Defy General] ketonkss4:
Honestly HOW! I cant even imagine that... You guys have some kind of special batteries right?
[Defy General] watt9493:
no special batteries or rom. everything stock. my clock speeds are stock i just undervolt. 300/17,600/31,800/42. might not work for everyone but im not a power user and dont play many games. thats what the game boy is for after all :)
[Defy General] hardiksomo:
Me too having the same problem and I am on stock rom and indian firmware and battery sucks and motoversion is 2.59.0 have lots and of games n apps but I have only rooted the phone with superoneclick hope you people can provide a solution for getting a better backup and yes I have even tried calibrating the batter but no use at all still I get the same problem battery draining and drains completely within 9 to 10 hrs even after minimal usage!!!!

Thanx in advance!!!
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Same for me. Since Moto only shows 10% changes you have to let it charge a good hour before unplugging when you see it's at 100%. It will show at 100% when the charge gets to 95%, so you could be losing 5% charge right there. I'm using the 1% display app from another thread around here, and I only unplug it when that app shows 101% charge. As soon as I unplug it, it drops to 99%, but lasts from 99% to 90% for about 7 or 8 hours if I don't really play with it. My usual discharge is 1% an hour. The phone/battery is programmed to not overcharge, so even if you leave it charging for 24 hours, as soon as you unplug it, it will drop to 99% instantly.
[Defy General] Peglezn:
U mean motocharge app?

It always stops at 100% for me, never goes over

one thing noticed today... uptime was 2days 10hours and something ...and i had 1% battery left on motocharge ...and it took me forever to discharge that last percent

I did full brightness, full volume on music that was playing, turned on wifi and BT and played angry birds meanwhile ...and it took me like 30minutes to burn down that last percent of the battery, so Im guessing it isnt calibrated right
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
No. This one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930457

Sorry wrong link corrected.
[Defy General] kenninaz:
battery life drains out pretty quickly... i'd say it drops below 90% after an hour or so. one example would be 9am-2pm with texting, whatsapp-ing and the occassionally surfing, and i'm down to 30-40% batt life.

i think the major draining app would be those that run data in the background, coz i was in japan recently (data turned off while roaming) and a full day 9am-12am and i was hovering around 70-8x%.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dalrym05:
I am using the stock launcher on super 2.4 I was wondering doses anyone have a way to change the dock to gingreblab colors?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bendbowden:
Throw these images in the drawable-hdpi folder in Launcher2.apk located in /system/app. If you have adb setup:

adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk

Open up the zip. I suggest not extracting it and dragging and dropping the images in. You will need to have winrar or 7zip. Make sure you have one of the two setup by default to open apk files. Navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi. Drag and drop the images.

adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk

You now have learned a trick to change images to your preference for just about any apk. :)

for everyone not being able to buy a new spring right now.

i tried just to stretch the spring buy ya...it goes back after a few days...

so i heated it up and then stretched it.

it works like a charm!

just take a lighter and then stretch it with some tools cuz otherwise ull get burned.

for now it seems to work reeeally good. have beein using that for 6 days now.

(and i open and close it a lot!!)

just try it out.

How can you set the Defy to WCDMA Preferred? It constantly reverts off of it.
[Defy General] scrannel:
You mean in the INFO menu? I don't believe you can. At least not with the stock ROM. I believe the choice is controlled by the firmware which varies from market to market, I presume.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
That's the same as 3G only? Mine has the option under the mobile network settings. I get three choices (this is exactly how it reads): 2G only saves battery, 3G only better performance, and Automatic Default. Hm you should have the same thing.
[Defy General] Step666:
In my handset, if you go into Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile networks, there is an option/drop-down box for Select network.

It gives you a choice between 2G only, 3G only and Automatic which is the default option and the only sensible one IMO.

edit: same as bobbyphoenix it seems.

Selecting 3G only means the phone will not use the 2G network ever, so if you were to end up in an area without 3G signal, you'd be disconnected.

Automatic means the phone will use 3G

when available

and 2G when it's not. As I said before, it's the only sensible choice.
[Defy General] hah2110:
That doesn't answer the question. There are two settings within the testing menu: wcdma preferred and gsm auto prl. The former tries to hang onto 3G whenever possible, where the latter uses an internal list of networks and it decides when to switch.
[Defy General] Step666:
Yes it does.

Automatic means the handset will use 3G whenever possible - ie 3G preferred.
[Defy General] hah2110:
No - they are two different things, as I explained. The Defy is using GSM PRL, NOT WCDMA Preferred.
[Defy General] scrannel:
When my phone uses wifi calling with wifi preferred (in the wifi calling menu) the INFO (testing) menu shows "GSM only". This choice will not allow 3G connection (2G, yes). When I turn off wifi, the phone switches to "GSM auto (prl)" and I get 3G. I read on one forum where someone

claims

they switched to "WCDMA preferred" then did a battery pull and it stuck. Also read that the WCDMA selection depletes battery faster. Hey, don't always believe what you read.

You realise that posting this here is just asking for trolls, right? And the iPad does not do everything smoother (yes, I know this to be true, I own an iPad too).

[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
What the iPad does, it does very well indeed. However, what it doesn't do is fit in a jacket pocket, which makes my Tab a superior device for *my* purposes.

I shouldn't worry too much about Android tablets though - if you really want to compare, we should probably wait for the Tab 10.1 or 8.9 running Honeycomb and then see, because IMO the Tab 7 is a different class of device to the iPad.

FWIW, if someone offered me an iPad for $250, I'd almost certainly have bought it too - for my wife! ;)

Also an iOS device will become obsolete in a lot more time than an Android one, my iPhone3g will be obsolete when iOS 4.3 will be released.
