So... I happen to have extreme OCD with settings on all my electronics, and I like to know that I can return all my settings to default if I happen to change something I don't like. Is there some way to restore all settings on the phone (with stock ROM) to default?
In particular, is there no way to restore the volume settings to default? If anyone hasn't changed their volume settings, I would like to know whether the default notification and system volumes are 2/3 of the way to full like the default ringtone is, or if they are all the way up?
For as ocd as you sound, just flash
the stock image and take notes of everything.
That way you won't have to 'worry' if people are giving inaccurate responses.

Well I actually did put it back to stock, but somehow it actually messed up my settings... I was hoping someone actually knows the settings... plz help
Dude, I'm sorry but you need to work on your issues. I mean no disrespect and if I knew flashing back to stock would give you the values you're looking for I would do it for you. But volumes are meant to be changed. That's why there's a slider bar on all of them. Stock values by the manufacturers description are whatever your ears like.

Hey guys just got a few quick questions, I know there is a likelihood this has been discussed elsewhere but I've not found the resources.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
That's most of my questions for now, thanks for your help guys :-D.
This is interesting because I am very interested in most of these questions as well. Here is my opinions on each.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
-There is battery icon mods, search for it in the Theme section
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
-The only Rom I know of that can change the long press of the home button is CM7.

I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
-The camera app is safe to remove. I would try Titanium and freeze it first if you're worried.
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
-You might want to detail these better.
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
-I do this through tasker.

-Dont know
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
-I dont think this comes in the stock rom. I'm on Cognition which has it.

I actually just found this one for KF3 so I'm going to test it in a moment

As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I will look into tasker, though I was looking for something very light as I only need this one feature.
Rather stick with stock ROM for now, at least until I get a JIG
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry about that thanks.
Just as a quick update, reinstalled the Task manager app and placed the apk back in the system/app folder and it seems to work. Also the battery icon has been updated and looked great :-D.
[*]As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I think you underestimate Titanium, it does more than backups.
Oh I don't use Titanium for my backups, I like always starting from fresh, so my contacts, etc are backedup but apps and settings I always prefer doing from scratch.
I tried Camera 360 and unless I'm mistaken the quality seemed LESS than the default app, which was a let down. Maybe I will try again.

karan999's KF3 stock ROM with CF-Rooted KF3 kernel works perfectly, only concern is I feel like when I'm using the browser that the % drops like a rock in contrast to when I'm just doing normal activities like calls and text. In fact I can speak for quite some time and there's hardly a % change.

When you are browsing with WiFi in Stock browser then battery drains at a rate of 1% per 3/4 minutes. Try Opera, it's a little bit of less hogger
Regards.
I've been using 3G/HSDPA, no WiFi access here. I think on data it is about that about of % decrease for me. I can survive with it as I don't browse on the go much but at home it feels like a disappointment.
Anyone figured out how to replace the task manager for long press home button?
hello,
newbee here. I have acquire a sansung galaxy S2, and have a lot of fun with it.
trouble started when it rebooted at night. I figured out that some update or application crashes were the cause of it.
I think i rid of most of the issues, and got it pretty stable.
To avoid future complication, I even rid of the startup sound, but I can not rid off the vibration (especially the one when shutting down....)
I think it is part of the basic settings, and I did a lot of researches... no luck
Apps like Silent boot would not work either....
Do anyone know if it's even possible ?
If impossible, is ICS having the same issue, or can this be tuned ?
(i just can't believe no one thought of making that optional ...)
Please help me...
I'm on ICS and don't have that. It is part of system settings - sound. It usually is affected by the mode you have your phone set to (like if you have sound set to Sound and Vibrate or just Vibrate, etc). Try changing to just sound and see if that stops it from vibrating (or just silent mode with no vibrate).
Can also try to untick Vibrate on screen tap.
ICS is sweet... can't go back to GB... what you waiting for?!
Sorry, but this does not work (phone is rooted)
. tried vibration off no luck
. tried silent mode no luck
Is there someone who knows where is configured the vibration settings ?
I mean in which filesystem (full path if possible) ... ?
note: Official Samsung ICS for Unlocked Phones will come soon... unless there is a safe ROM and method to install it. For now I would concentrate on my Vibration issue.
Firstly, be patient. People will try to help you, doesn't mean the first answer fixes your problem.
As I stated... ICS does not have this problem. Phone makes no sound and no vibrate, if you set it that way on ICS.
How about give us more information. You said you're rooted but on GB. Are you using any different type of kernel other than stock? Like Siyah 2.xx?
As the filesystem where you can doodle with removing vibrations... I will leave someone with more experience to deal with that (even if I know the path)... in case I advise you something that can screw things up after.
*you might want to reset the phone - as the system notification/vibration settings should have done the trick.
hello
I upgraded to 4 versions of ICS.
Each one of them did not correct the issue : it still vibrate when shutting down the phone. (darkyrom, OCA, Pure and a "4.0.4" version having a clever 3 way option to launch (Nova, TW and Apex)).
I did not reset the settings yet but I will give it a go.
I will the thread updated.
That's a very strange bug then. The settings to control that though, is not with the launchers but with System Settings.
Maybe try this:
System Settings - Volume <inside there you have 4 settings. Try changing System to very low or all the way off. Then go to the whatever mode you have it set to (like Silent Mode or whatever)... and select Mute.
Then the lower categories of System... uncheck all of them: Keytones, Touch sounds, Screen lock sound, Vibrate on screen tap.
See if that works. If it does, then can narrow it down to one of those settings.
Thank you very much
The simplest things are not always obvious to the common....
It works, the vibration disappeared when /SOUNDS/VIBRATION SETTINGS/Vibrate on touch was set to the lowest. Meantime, the little vibration at startup disappeared as well. Now the phone can crash, update and reboot at night without waking me up ! .. a good logcat reader (just in case) running in background will help cleaning up when some error occurs....
Once again, thank you: that drove me mad.
Glad that worked. You're right, sometimes the simplest things are not always obvious, for everyone ;-)

I have chinese copy of Nexus One phone, android 2.2.1 and I don`t have VIBRATION SETTINGS tab in my menu, I can only turn vibrate on and off,
and I don`t have SOUNDS on SETINGS, I enter in AUDIO PROFILES to menage vibration,
how to turn off vibration on power on and off?
I have been having trouble with my ringtone for a while now. It will only cycle once and that is it. So, if I don't hear it on the first ring I don't catch it. Does anyone know how that is adjusted with in the ROM? Right now I am using CM.10.1.2.FIREBALL.mdm05.zip. Perm ROOT, S-Off and all that.. Whichever ringtone I use will only sound once and that's it, HELP. Thanks... p.s. To clarify, this is not a voicemail issue. The phone will keep ringing only it will be silent after the ringtone cycles once.

this is because cm for some reason gave control of ringtones to phone.apk and not let the system handle it. if its a stock ringtone it will loop but custom ones wont.
to fix you will need to edit your build.prop and add 2 lines at the bottom, please make sure that the build.prop doesnt already have any of the following:
ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay
if you do have then, please delete it and at the bottom add this:
ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple=false
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=200
save changes and reboot. your custom ringtones will loop once again.
worked like a charm...
Your advice worked like a charm. I knew it had something to do with the build.prop functions but was not informed enough to mess around in there. I did what you recommended and it worked great. Thank You and Thanks for your help and advice... do you know how I can adjust the time in between rings. I messed with the delay amount (200 to 400) but that did not seem to do it. Thanks in advance...

200 is 2mil seconds. so if you want to mess with it more and notice a difference you will need to go higher i believe. like 1000 would be one second.
Hey all, im trying to find a profile widget taht will allow me to switch between sound, vibrate and vibrate with sound. So far none of the widgets I have found will do that. If sound is on it will have sound and vibration. I can work around it by lowering vibration intensity in settings but was looking for a quicker way. Anybody know of anything like this out there? I used to run CM and they had the functionality in their profiles but I cant seem to find anything else out there. Maybe im the only one that is still annoyed that I cant make this happen? Or maybe there is something that will do this and im just out of touch. Either way any suggestions would be appreciated.

Often get many messages and notifications that go noticed as the vibration is very weak. Is there anyway to adjust the intensity?
I really wish there as a way, it's pathetic. I don't think I've managed to notice a single call when I'm walking... I think I might have to switch phones because of this. I've managed to work out almost everything else to be how I want it, but even with root (which I don't have yet), I can't see a way around this one. There are some apps that change vibration pattern and those might help but intensity is a no go I think... Oh well, love the phone so a bit gutted to be honest...
