just had to fix an S2 for someone where it auto-selected speakerphone as the default when making or receiving calls. had to use a third party app to disable it (auto speaker).


anyone heard of this happening and now the regular fix? couldnt find a setting for it.

on stock 2.3.3

Never happened when I had my S2. I doubt its current owner will encounter it too, since I put ICS on it last year.
 
yeah the owner doesnt want to move to ICS, i've told her next time it fucks up to just do it anyway.
 
Android 4.2/4.3 HDMI out to TV not working

Hi, long time no questions. Now I am on holidays sitting in front of an Schneider LCD TV with DVD, DVT and USB, HDMI in.

I cannot get any Android device to work (they do work at home with more modern TV's!):
Sony Xperia P phone with latest vanilla Android 4.3 not working.
Asus Transformer 100 with EOS 4 latest nightly build : HDMI out not working
Asus Nexus 7 2012, doesn't have "out", lol

Is it worth do "fix" them (TV-update, device update/hack, cables?) or shall I better enjoy the beach, margaritas, reading paper newspapers etc? , :roll:
 
try locking them to 720p and see what happens? never heard of HDMI devices that didnt auto negotiate.
 
What is the relevance of HDMI 1.1 / 1.4 issues. Is it always backwards compatible?

yes, it always should be. every HDMI device should negotiate 720p succesfully, if nothing else.
 
Soo, is there any way to get rid of Dropbox, and all those other apps that come loaded onto the OS?
 
have you tried supersu?

shite, theres a program ive mentioned before that lets you freeze the apps to stop them getting reinstalled. i just blanked on its name.
 
I've been thinking of just installing Energy HD 2.0, anyone have any experience with it?
 
titanium backup, looked it up.

requires root, you can uninstall or freeze apps. freeze works better since most stock roms re-download the missing apps if you remove them.

Thanks! Do you know if there is any tutorial on how to root a SGH-I747M on Fido?
 
@Frick
What cellie you got?

Samsung Galaxy Express.

I got it working eventually. Or rather, it just worked after a couple of reboots. Dunno what happened. It works anyway, so I'm not dwelling on it.

I'm thinking of using the NFC actually. Dunno what for, but something! Put it in silent mode when I go to the bathroom? :laugh:
 
I bought Zopo C2+ me and wife.pretty good phone and cheap like it 100% with android 4.2.1 version

So android 4.3 came out today for my Nexus7 but I didn't update cause I have it rooted with the Trinity mod installed.

Can I just update or do I have to load the stock rom first?

dont update. lots of complaints online about it breaking things. wait til its patched more.
 
Will Titanium stop google maps from updating to the new unstable version? It's getting on my nerves now...everytime I go back to it I find its updated itself and I cant find a way to disable that feature.

Yeah, i've also read that they are trying to remove rooting with this update.
 
If that nexus can be used as phone than 7'' I think its too big to use it in that way,would look very strange to have something that big at ear.

yeah. i just bought galaxy grand. with 5 inch of display its kinda too big to grab in one hand. you cant reach the upper left corner with your thumb
its more comfortable 4 to 4,7 inch
 
I bought it for work, something to watch movies/netflix on and to keep me entertained.

you can check through play store and click the google maps then you can disable auto update :toast:
