[Q] Notification issues in Galaxy S 2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I just bought the G S2 3 days ago, and I found 2 issues:
1- No indication that the phone is charging at all and I have to keep checking did it finish charging or not by turning the screen on. In addition I installed a battery indicator to show me the exact percentage while charging.
2- When I use the hands free there is no indication at all in the task bar showing that it is connected or not.
Did any body has these 2 issues and how to solve them. I came from HTC HD Desire which was a great phone

Well, the first is not an issue, because when it fully charges, you will hear a sound. As for the 2nd part, it's annoying. I thought my earphones had been destroyed(1st day). xDD

Regarding the sound when it is fully charged, it means I have to stay close to the phone and in the same place to hear it !!!!!!!. This is really crazy, they have to fix this issue or if any one has an app to help in this.

[Q] SGS1 annoyances in the SGS2?

I'm curious if anyone has had any issues with using bluetooth calling in a car. With my SGS1 (Verizon US Fascinate), when I hang up a call via bluetooth in my car, bluetooth on the phone will crash and disconnect from the car. The phone will freeze for a few minutes, then I have to disable and re-enable bluetooth for it to re-connect to the car. I've talked to a few others who have had the same issue with my same phone, but I guess not many people use this feature or have this bug? I would like to know if anyone with an SGS 2 uses bluetooth calling via car and if they have any issues.
I'm also curious about the minor things Samsung does in their ROMs which never made sense to me. The primary one is the "charge complete" notification. I charge my phone at night while I sleep and in the middle of the night (every night), I get a notification beep telling me the phone is charged. It also turns on the VERY bright AMOLED display which lights up the entire room. Also, my girlfriend's Samsung phone will die in the middle of the night if it's not charged and will blast the shutdown animation and sound VERY loud.
Samsung does little things that are a bit irritating at times and I'm curious if they've improved with their new phone.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help answer these questions.

[APP] Battery Charged Silencer

This application mutes notification sound when battery is fully charged. It can also disable vibrations if selected in options. It mutes before batery is charged (usually 99% ro 100%) - it mutes only notifications not phone calls.
Vibrator supression works with SGS2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1, it is strange that it does not work with other Samsung phones (quite puzzled).
Android Market link
Definitely checking this out, but I think it's kinda sad we have to resort to an app to tell Samsung about this issue, when my old Galaxy S was doing the same crap a year ago and people hated it then! It's like "yes, the device IS fully charged, thanks for telling me in the middle of the night when I have it charging for a reason, and no, I'm not going to take it off the charger just because it's fully charged now!!!"
It's one thing to want to be enviro-friendly, it's another to bug the crap out of you to unplug your device 5 hours before you need it for the day just because it's "done charging...."
Samsung should remove this feature completely. Issue is with some phones, e.g. droid charge, where vibration setting does not work - and this setting in app turns off vibrator :-/ Nevertheless it works for relevant devices which are SGS2, American SGS2 and new Tab.
Any possibility to get this to work on SGS i9000 also?
This "feature" is bugging the crap out of me with 2.3.5 version. Didn't have this problem when I was using Froyo.
edit: Actually, it seems to work in i9000 already. I'll add more information about it in future.
Many thanks for this hilarious application. Finally my tablet don't wake me up at night.
It works also while listening to TuneIn Radio where the tone makes the streaming sound stopped...

I just thanked you because I couldn't possibly agree more with everything you said. I feel like long tossing the tablet everytime it wakes me up! Going to try this app, thanks OP
Thank you so much! I sleep with my Tablet as I use one of the sleep cycle monitor apps and it always wakes me up when it's done charging.
thanks a bunch, I too found the beep rather annoying especially when you're charging off the PC and using the tab to do other functions during work. I'm downloading this fix right now.
Hello Ondrej,
Could you make it compatible with GS2 NFC (GT-O9100P) because I can not acces to your application on Play Store (not compatible...).
Many thanks
In the market it shows that my SGS2 is not compatible, only my tab 10.1 is?!?!
I disabled application for devices for which users wrote it does not work comments.
I can test application only with devices which I have (which is not GT-O9100P)

Random notification sound question

This had been bothering me more and more lately so I thought I would ask to see if I am the only one having this problem or if there is a solution.
Ive had my EVO 3D since release and it would randomly beep the notification tone , after a few days I narrowed it down to roaming notification and I took care of that by turning off the notification.
Well ever since than , when I go to sleep I plug my phone in the charger and at some point during the night/morning it will start beeping the notification tone for no reason , it seems like it does it constant every couple minutes for a while and than stops , depending how good I am sleeping depends on if I hear it or not , I think it happens every day but not 100% sure , I know if I ignore it , eventually it stops , but there has been times I've been woken up , got annoyed and unplugged the phone/turned on screen and it stops than.
I've been through all the settings on the phone I think and hadn't seen anything , it seems like its beeping showing that the battery is charged 100% and needs to be taken off the charger maybe ????
Any input would help , my phone is 100% stock no root !
Thanks

Maybe it's hungry and want sth. to eat? =D
..mhh, sounds weird, sure it's not an app or alarm you set?
Download alogcat from market, and when it starts to ring, open alogcat and save the log and post it here.
Maybe we can see then, whats causing this.
Only other suggestion (besides feeding it - lol), I got at the moment is to do a factory reset and look if this issue still persist.

Do you have a battery calibration app installed?

Same once
It happen today for first time just one sms notification and I get really surprised when I see is nothing on the screen. And yes I have a battery calibrator. Can it be the reason for this strange case?

[Q] HTC One M8 Headphone icon

I know there are threads for the m8 but they are a little older. Is there a fix for the icon in the status bar yet? My phone hasn't been exposed to water and I've never had headphones plugged in yet I get this icon that keeps me in headphone mode. I'm new to the site so if I'm in the wrong section I didn't mean to. I couldn't find anywhere else to put this. Thanks in advance

Seems like it's a random HTC thing. Sometimes it's from moisture, sometimes just an odd glitch. Doesn't seem to be a fix that works for everyone. Sometimes it helps to drain the battery completely, then charge it up completely and turn it on. Sometimes it helps to plug in headphones and unplug repeatedly quickly like 10 times.
Do the loud speakers still work while the headphone icon displays?

They do not work. I have to use sound about as a temporary fix. It's not a huge problem now but the icon is becoming a nuisance because I know my phone that I just paid $500 is looking back at me with an obvious flaw. Also, thanks for the reply

problem with the headphone socket or sound

Has anyone has problem when listening to music using the socket built into the main unit, sometimes whiles listening to music, the sounds seem to move to the left with the left side being louder, not sure if it's the socket or the some problem with the sound chip, but moving the plug of the headset is not the cause of the problem, but you need to pull the plug out and insert back in to get the sound normal.
sometimes just pluging the headphones in also cause the problem.
Yessss! I thought it was my headphones!!!
I have had the exact issue with my G5 also! Exactly as you described it, I had to unplug and replug the headset to get it to go away. I was using Skull Candy Smokin' Buds....you? I actually went out and bought the LG Tone Pro bluetooth headset instead.

I have a few IEM listed in my sig that I use, all expensive ones, so i don't think i will use a BT IEM to replace them, also cable IEM produce better sound for Hi Res sound, I have also found out that you can skip to the next few tracks/files and go back it will go back to normal, but in all case we shouldn't have to do anything to cover up the problem, I think it's a software problem, but my G5 is going back today and i'm getting a new one through a instore 14 day exchange policies.

Yeah...But this is the second one I've had that issue on! Coupled with the flaws in the glass on the Titan screens...and the silver I had freezing and not turning on...this quality control is really crap on this phone. And that sucks, because I love this phone more than any Samsung I've had!

my first had scratches on the silver line on the case, second had a white burn mark in the screen, and can be seen with all colors, this is my third one, not totally perfect, but I have the advantage of checking the unit in store for problems including dead and bright pixels, but the sound problem was only noticed a few days ago and I thought it was my IEM, but it happened a few times, I should have my B&O unit soon, but this problem should happen whether its hardware or software wise.
I just had an issue with the FM Radio - it kept saying headphones not plugged in! I pull them out plug them back in, and it was OK again! I am using my G4 headphones too so even the same make!! I hope I don't need to return it GRRRR
@jreed3786
I got a replacment phone yesterday, at first I though it ok on this unit, but the problem is there and it's on they same song file, therefore I think the DAC actually can detect this problem that may be it related to the actual file, could be a bad conversion causing the phone to perform like this.
that being said, I have a DSD file that starts to buzz when it reached the end of the song, it happens on the V10 and now the G5, and the time length on the file shows like -9206:-30, whiles played on other units it's ok.
You guys didn't push it in all the way. G5 for some reason has a lot of resistance on the port. I had same experience until I noticed the gap and decided to give it little more force. It clicks in hard and didn't have any issue after that

I know how to plug the headphone plug in, it's not that issue, it's more like a compatibility issue, I have comfirmed this myself numerous time.
Headphone jack issue and more
So I've also suffered from the issue with my headphones plugged in. My left channel is quiet and my right is loud. On one occasion the left channel crackled and completely died. Unplugging and plugging back in my headphones causes the phone software to correct itself. This happens at least every other day. Then, my phone became sluggish a couple days ago and started to freeze and suffer random restarts until last night when it froze and entered a bootloop on the startup screen. I pulled the battery and let it sit for a while and plugged it back in and it entered the OS but was sluggish. This morning I attempted to use messenger and it froze again and entered another bootloop and then died. I took it back to T-Mobile and I've only had it 18 days. They took it back under their 20 grace period and I now have my second G5. This same issue was prevalent in the G4 and LG has recognized that issue. I hope I'm not in for another letdown on this second phone. I just divorced Motorola... Where to next?

Not implying you don't know how. Just saying G5 has port that is tight. No pun intended.

that's ok, i didn't mean't for that either, but may be it stood out too much, I apologize for that, the actual issue is compatibility with the music file and the DAC, sometimes the dac can get really sensitive and pickup minor errors in the files to cause these problems, previously the few files that had the problem has been removed from the phone, no problem since.

So the audio issue I was having is the same as the other posters on this forum. One channel with a low level and the other with a normal level and then having to unplug the audio cable to reset it. However, the ultimate failure of the phone is not. I was sharing with everyone what happened to mine and perhaps I should have started a new thread with that issue alone? I haven't had my second phone for even 24 hours yest so only time will tell and I will post and findings related to the audio here. I use my headphones during the work week so that is when I will know for sure.

all sorts of problem, not just the sound.

Hmm. Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I did see many complaints with DAC on G5.

Exact same thing happening to me, will pan most of the sound over to one side making one ear quite loud and the other quiet. I find if I pause, switch to another app, than back to whatever music app I was using it usually resolves the issue. Hoping the B&O module helps but doubtful considering this seems software related. I'll probably just deal with it this way.
I have the Same issue via aux. Restarting Poweramp mostly helps

I bought it yesterday
Headphone jack is very very loose. I tried to different earphones.whenever i touch headphone jack headphone gets disconnected. Any one with this issue
Only problem with mic enabled headphones
Same problem though my normal headphones work fine. When i use my headphones with a mic it only plays the right channel. I have not always had this problem but seems to be lasting a lot longer today. Normally fixed itself in 30 seconds but has yet to. I tried restarting phone with headphones in, then again with them unplugged. Havent found a solution. Does the B&O module work?
