hi. i've upgraded from gb2.3.5 to ics 4.0.3 on my sgs2. now, if i want to change the default audio setting in the service mode, it cannot be selected. all others work fine. if i select "5" (for audio), it just shows the same screen. in gb i could change the settings. why?
As posted already search and see if that post has an answer .

Any traction on this? I can't access the Audio option either. I tried to load up the serviceModeApp.apk from an earlier firmware but there is a checksum in place.
Does anyone with more android experience have any luck?
i'm also looking for a solution to this - incredible that there isn't more threads on this as i thought it was a fairly wide issue

Why ask Samsung .

Hi, are there any UK based custom 2.1 ROMs?
flashed Villain3.4 but it seems the market is the US one so all the location specific apps are US and doesnt work properly
anyone point me in the right direction?
@nortynort
Sorry for writing this, but did you inform yourself before you wrote this new, unnecessary thread?
sorry it might've been daft, but the only way to get informed is to ask right?
MarketEnabler
Install market enabler and set your location to UK.

nope mate ... the right way would be to make some research.
but I will give you the answer, have a look at page 1 from the Villain thread. Villain 3.4 basis is from an Eris dump, means the sources are from a US thought software leak.
There is no UK based ROM even no Mongolian based ROM, why? Because no official 2.1 release exists.

Is there a Manual regarding the original post? Me thinks not.
@lechy
... the mentioned manual is almost 730 pages ... Me thinks its enough to read

Not at exactly a manual is it? More of a reference point and discussion on the ROM itself.

it is not only unnecessary, it is also in the wrong subforum.
Wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
"RTFM is an initialism for the direction "Read The ****ing Manual". This instruction is sometimes given in response to a question when the person being asked believes that the question could be easily answered by reading the relevant "manual" or instructions. It is also used to tell people to try to help themselves before seeking assistance from others."
So according to wikip phanes used the term correctly. And who wants to start a discussion concerning the validity of wikipedia? Not me. I believe in the peoples opinion.
Edit; Oh how i love metadiscussions..
As far as the original question goes. What is not working, market is fine for me using VillainRom 3.4?
Things submitted by U.S developers will show in $ anything in UK will show in £ and some will be Euro's you can still purchase them all the same.
Have you checked to see if you can change the "LOCATION" and "LOCALE & TEXT" options in SETTINGS?
I'm honestly trying to help, but no matter how I try wording the above, it always sounds a little condescending.

I'm not too knowledgable in this, but whatever app I download seems to be set to be US centric?
For example Yelp, which worked fine in the stock tmob uk ROM, now can't find my location at all. I set the currency thing in the settings to UK and it still can't find my location.
Other apps like pocketauctions for ebay are set to US by default but that one is managable as setting it to UK works fine.
Shopsavvy barcode scan feature no longer works, it doesn't recognise any barcodes anymore, I dont know if thats a US/UK thing as well. Typing products in by name brings up US prices. There's no setting to set it to UK.

Going to Settings ---> Location only gives the options "Use wireless networks" (Checked), and "Use GPS satellites" (unchecked)
Can't find a direct reference to Locale and text, but in the keyboard settings there's a LOCALE setting and clicking on it you can only choose a language

yes tried MarketEnabler. installed it, didn't see my original network (Tmobile UK). Tried tapping on other networks just as O2 germany, but nothing happens, no error message no nothing. Nothing changed in market.

Thanks, unfortunately none of the search terms such as "default ringtone" brought up the required thread, I actually had to search for your name to find it which isn't exactly intuitive!
If anyone else is searching for it, the thread is here

that feature is available on Google's version of ICS, which is AOSP, but also in AOKP/CM9, I have AoCP from The Collective Team and I have full screen caller id, if you're running stock , well that's AT&T/Samsung's fault for not adding it to their dialer, you can try this app out and see if you like it, I don't think you need root for it or anything else. good luck

Hey thanks roloracer, this is kinda a no brainer Att Ics? Coming from a windows phone and boy that feature looks just great. Every day I'm getting closer to the ROOT of the matter. Thanks again.
Related question, but backwards.
How would you disable this feature?
Looked through all the options I can find in CM9 (h0tw1r3, not the official CM9) and can't find anything about it.
I don't have contact pictures for 75% of my contacts, and the ones I do have are seemingly tiny images that look terrible on the Note full screen.

I find stock ICS from att =has several things lacking and a MAJOR DISSPOINTMENT

Using Samsung Galaxy Note from Tmobile, the SGH-T879, a.k.a SGH-i717, Android version 4.0.4, Rooted
About me: I am not a developer or programmer; but, I am savvy enough to manipulate/configure Windows computers, remove malicious software and generally troubleshoot many common problems on a PC.
What I need to do: I need to record cell phone conversations at the line level (not speakerphone) and am beginning to believe that isn't possible on Android 4.0.4. Someone told me I might need a custom ROM that allows line recording. I don't understand ROM and its relation to the phone as well as I do Windows OS and its relation to the Computer; but, I want to learn so I can solve this call recording problem.
Can someone point me in the right direction for learning about this?
Sir, there are apps free from the GPlay Market for this...take a look, although you have to be rooted for some apps but you stated you are rooted.
A custom ROM is not needed.
Again, do a search via mighty Google and see any thing points you to the Market GPlay.
google voice has this built in. just press 4 while in call.

Thanks for the reply.
I have been working on this problem for two weeks+, have tried many call recording programs and had exchanges with their tech support. NONE will record from line on this phone. Their final answer is to just use speakerphone. I have had exchanges with others and found that not one has reported a successful LINE level recording with stock Android versions above 2.3.5. I have also read in forums where some were able to record but it broke when their Android versions were upgraded or they got a newer phone with a later Android version.
The recording programs offered on Google are, in my opinion, misnamed voice recorders as they record only when the phone is on speaker.
Please, is there a good place on the 'net where I can learn about ROMs?.

First read the thread linked below at least twice for help on understanding how to flash custom ROM builds etc.. Reading it twice will help make sure you grasp everything well prior to flashing your Note.
[Road & Ref Map]: Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717) 9/11/2012: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
Moreover, once you understand the steps needed in order to load different ROM builds etc.., below is a link to an excellent Gingerbread 2.3.6 XLA2 ROM by DAGr8 that has the line recording built in. That said, I still use it as my "go to" ROM when not trying out ICS & JB builds, due to the built in line recording, as well as the ability to enable Ad-Hoc WiFi support by switching out the wpa_supplicant file.
[ROM]XLA2[04/02] SAUROM Projekt 'One Rom to Rule Them All: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522942
Also, if you do load SAUROM RC7 + RC7.1, search this thread link below for support in order to fix the alarm force close issue, and to add "Equalizer" from the play store to increase volume.

On a final note, deploy the xda search feature to find more tips & info...

Hey Alex, don't thank me, d'oh! I somehow skipped right past your first OP post. If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note from T-Mobile, "the SGH-T879 model", and not the SGH-I717 model from At&t, SAUROM may not work as intended, and you should post in T-Mobile Galaxy Note section, not here. That said, I'm not sure what would be best for the T-Mobile Note as far as line recording, but you should post and search in that specific sub-forum for help.
Best to all,
R
Yes, it is the T879 and thanks for the heads-up.
I don't see a T879 or T-mobile Galaxy Note section here. Where is it?
Thanks.
It isn't here - its an altogether different forum. Just go to the main list of supported phones and find it there.
I've got strange flickering issue with my phone which has only just started recently. I've had a search around and the videos I have seen on youtube aren't the same as the issue I am having. I have tried the disable hardware overlays option but this hasn't solved it. I have uploading a video on youtube which shows 2 recordings of the issue, one after the other, each slightly different.
http://youtu.be/FYSzR9fCVU4
Can anyone advise what this might be? The phone is about 18 months old so I want to get repaired/replaced under warranty by Samsung if that is what is needed.
thanks
This is the wrong forum please read the rules.
Lack of information in your post .
Best guess try a factory reset .
