[Q] Does USB audio works? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if it works because I just got a Razer Megalodon and I really wanted to use it with the GSII! I'm yet to receive the MicroUSB adaptor.
Thanks!

No. USB DAC's/similar do not currently (may not ever) work with SGS2.

Ah damn it... Any other way I can hook them up to my phone?
EDIT : Wasn't it fixed in CM9? http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,14046

That's only for dock sound. DAC's don't work. Someone started a thread in general maybe 6 weeks ago asking for a dev to try & get it working and people pledged money if this happened. Got maybe 6-8 people interested, haven't heard any more about it.
We'd need a dev who wants this feature for their own use for it to become reality I reckon. Codeworkx has been asked & said it's too hard (blame Samsung)/he's not interested.

oops...no, I believe that one is only for stereo audio out...I didn't realize you wanted it for calls too
That one you first saw is probably your best bet, they'll all be close to that price. And, most any that you see that say they'll work with another HTC model should work fine on the Rhodium, as they all use the same USB headset protocol.
so HTC Tattoo will be ok to use then?

Im very happy with it.

Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Has anyone got a pair of these for the Xperia X10?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericss...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1284836976&sr=1-4
Headphone wire is starting to drive me mad especially when I am on my 125.
Any reviews? other than Amazons
Thanks in advance

I have them, in fact I imagine there are several people who do. For me they came free as a promotional offer on Rogers here in Canada, and I read that some people got them bundled along with the phone.
They work pretty well, although I've never seen the song-ticker ever working on any device I've connected to it (although I don't even think it's actually a feature), I always have gotten good quality audio from my x10, my windows 7 pc at home, and my iMac at work. It lasts a long time and it's easy to switch between the devices. The only issue I have with it, and it can be pretty annoying, is that it will sometimes lose connection with my x10 and I will have to unpair it and repair it or otherwise restart bluetooth on the phone. It could be an issue with interfering wifi signals or something else on the phone.
I take it you missed THIS thread on the same page.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II ROOTED & BRICKED

Hey guys.. I just bought my new SGSII a week ago and I wanted to root it. I follow a guide on google and it went perfectly. Then I wanted to try a custom rom and found lite' and dark ROM... And I picked the dark ROM, so I found a guide on your site, for the 10.2 final edition and I did everything it said. I was starting to install, and I was waiting 15 mins and nothing happend. So as stupid as I am, I take the USB stick out and take the battery out too..
After that it wont turn ON. It wont do NOHTING, no download mode, no repair mode.. Its been a couple of hours now and I cant find any answer on google so I wanted to post my problem here so you could have a new case to crack ..
The wierd thing is my phone is warm, and even more warm then when I played on it.. But it wont function at all..
Please, I am very happy to recieve ANY answer
Please provide a link to the exact rom that you attempted to install.

Look for the posts on the 301k Jig. I don't have the exact link but they're around somewhere on the SGS2 forum.
Its basically a microUSB with a 301k ohm resistor soldered onto it. If you have access to a soldering iron you can buid one in 10 minutes with the online schematics and basic knowledge of electronics.
It has been reported to throw your (bricked) device into download mode when no other method works, as well as reset the counters (tried and tested by me).
Once you get download mode, flash stock firmware w/ Odin and that could fix everything.

Yeah, that'll do it. Personally, I would only use XDA as a resource for rooting and not Google..in the Original Android Development sub-forum there is a great guide on flashing via Odin and applying stock firmware (in which, it actually states in BOLD not to tick the pit files.)
Good luck!
Never ever use pit file unless you know what a pit file is and know exactly what you are doing.....most bricked phones caused by flashing pit

Lol!! (Sorry) but this was my thoughts as soon as you said darky 10.2.... that is definitely not designed for the SGS2. If you can get the above USB jig fix to work then great. Otherwise I hope you have insurance :S

Yikes..
If the jig doesn't work and you have to send the phone in it might be a good idea to not mention what exactly you did to make it behave thusly
*edit*
Also, if all else fails you might want to check the debricking service detailed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN7le4GmxZs

It will be a little cheaper if I just sended it to the repair shop in my town, I live in denmark if I send it to US to be fixed dahm ...
Well .. I think for sending it to the US you're looking at approximately ~85$ (shipping fees + repair)
Hard to tell what Samsung would charge if they found out you voided the warranty

Issue with replacement S2

I had to have my S2 replaced under warranty this week because of failure of the USB port. The replacement came with ICS 4.0.3 already installed. After a day of getting all my stuff moved over, rooting the phone, and re-installing all my apps today I went out and paired the phone with my 2012 Ram. My previous S2 has worked flawlessly with this vehicle since day one. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my Outlook contacts to sync to the phone via Hotmail Connector, only the Google ones. This had been working for me prior on rooted stock GB. The truck had no problem pairing, but doesn't want to dowload the phonebook for some reason so I can't use voice dial and incoming calls are not recognized. Is there enough difference between GB and ICS to have caused this? I don't want to go back to GB, but this is a deal breaker. I don't really see all that much improvement with ICS anyway. I need my phone to work as it was.:crying:
Test gb and see
Bleh
Instead of starting a whole new pointless thread, why not just downgrade and find out your self??

Dude you should have waited to get the replacement. The USB part for my phone just came in today and I just finished installing it. I'm charging up my phone now and will report back in your original thread on whether or not the charging indicator stays there after I unplug it. Replacing the chip was super easy, btw.
Edit: it wasn't your thread, but you posted in it. It's in the Q&A section.

Pointless thread? I don't want to downgrade, I wanted to find out if anyone else had seen an issue like this or had something better to reply with other than, "Flash back and see." Sorry if I took up space better used by another clueless newb asking how to revert to stock or how to flash his Skyrocket.
FYI, I finally got the Outlook/Hotmail sync working (I would tell you how, but since no one cares...). Now to see if I can get my phonebook to download to the truck. As for Lekerstein, I really didn't want to be messing with the USB connector when the phone is still in warranty. By getting a replacement I also now got another month added to my warranty and an updated phone, so I'm good. Hope yours works out for you.

Yes and no. It appears that the original method that worked on GB for setting up MS Exchange sync of the phone with Outlook via Hotmail no longer works on ICS. I simply tried a different method and that was the charm that worked. The functionality is still there, it just takes a different setup method to get it to work.:good:

Yes it says i9100 but it works for the i777. I just bought from that link and replaced it my I777 with basically the same problem you have. Problem was solved (see "usb won't connect" thread in Q&A).
There's a YouTube video showing how to replace it on the i9100, which I followed and is extremely similar to the i777.

I must add, that you should really evaluate yourself, and decide if you have the skills to do it. It can damage your phone permanently if you don't do it the right way.

at the risk of necromancing.... if anyone should stumble upon this looking for help like I did, through google. When you open your i777 up, the port board in your i777 says i9100, so yes the above listed item would work.

Did not try that one. There is one on amazon that some one said in the comments worked with the i777 but I could not get it to work. Also, on ebay, one from ipartsdepot1 did not work. I also contacted several other sellers that said their's would not work. Hope this helps. -- Bud

Does this require soldering to install? Are there any instructions available? Thank you.
Edit: I found a video here which I think should help.
Won't charge?
Like rushaan stated that you should think before you go any further, if your battery will not charge it could be more of an issue than a charger. For the last week I have been trying to boot mine and only get one of 2 messages, The Samsung boot image, and I have done all most everything I have read in our forums. The last run, I had been re-installing some apps, after a ROM change,all was going great ,then a message came up Stating that "due to the battery heating up,it was shutting down the charger" so, of course battery was drained and con not get the freakin' phone to do anything but show the "SAMSUNG" boot animation.. NOW, since then I can not get it to boot, esp. into CWM recovery. I am still reading to see what file/image that I maybe able to use while utilizing ODIN. So,with that being said look a bit more in-depth before you think you have the correct solution.
