HI,

it seems that changes made in the settings menu are not beeing saved. for example i tried to change the screen timeout time into 5 minutes, went back to home but the change has not been saved.
same thing happened with changing the language from english into dutch and changing the wallpaper.
changes made in some apps in downloaded are still there without any problems.

Haa die buur...
Have you tried to do a full reset? I noticed that some tablets have been 'factory-tested' and never been reset to original state. Mind you, all your apps will need to be re-installed. Make sure you have some form of backup of your personal data (slightly harder for non-rooted devices) before doing this.
Are you using pure stock everything, and not rooted you SGT?
Worst case scenario: exchange (after resetting to factory state) your P7510 for a new one, as you are even within the first 14 days of purchase and shops will exchange, no questions asked, within that period.

Hi,
just bought the tablet 2 days ago so a full reset is a option i'm going to try. I was planning to get this tablet rooted but if this problem stays i'm off to the store next week to get a exhange...
thanks for your help!

problem solved, just a quick factory reset did the trick!

[Q] SGS2 is stuck on "Speakerphone is turned on"

Hi
Since about a week ago my SGS2 answer an incoming calls with the speakerphone turned on by default, and there's no way I can change it.
I use lightning rom 1.5 for a few months and everything was perfect until now.
Please help!

Backup data>> factory reset .

Oh I had this same issue just last week, out of nowhere. Here's what I did: plug the USB cord in & out the phone a few times, it should get okay. Just google it too, there's a bunch of HTC users who have reported the same issue but the plug in/out solution works for S2 as well.
Do you all use Go SMS Pro?....if so then its a software issue...
Update the application to the latest one and your issue will be resolved.
I used to have Go SMS pro, but I removed it long ago.
I heard about the problem it makes - similar to mine, so I tried to install and uninstall it again, but it didn't help.
I tried the USB connect/unconnect advice - didn't help.
I tried to install several auto-speakerphone apps to bypass the problem
Most didn't succeed, except from "save your brain" that worked OK for a while and than stopped. It also had annoying notification icon, and many Chinese notes, so I uninstalled it too.
Can't find the solution yet
I'd love more suggestions.
Thanks.

i had the same issue for about the same period, it started kinda a week ago, but in the past days i noticed that it just returned to normal
i updated gosms on 29aug to the last version, i guess this was all the fix i needed, stock 2.3.3 atm
Hi
I Managed to solved the problem using Elixir widget.
One of the possible widgets is Speaker widget.
Once I turned it off - the problem stopped.
Hurray.

[Q] P7510 I/O tab in factory mode?

I sent my I/O tablet to Samsung for repairing a hardware defect (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272086). I got it back today and now it's stuck in some factory mode. There is a lock displaying at the bottom of the screen during boot-up. I have an app called factory mode that seems to launch some sort of calculator. I am unable to lock the screen at all now. No matter what lock screen setting I try the screen never locks. Pushing the power button powers down the device in an instant. No more popup asking if I want to power down. I've tried a factory reset, but during the reset it's complaining about not having access to some directory. After the factory reset runs its course I'm back to square one. I'm not asked to setup wifi, create an account or anything. I'll obviously call Samsung support tomorrow to find out how the hell I get out of this factory mode. But in the meantime has anybody seen this type of behavior after getting their tablet back from Samsung support?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Samsung wants me to send the tab back to them cause they don't give out the engineering codes to get it out of factory mode. Honestly I find this rather ridiculous. I use this thing for development for christ sake. I really don't want to sent it back to them again being without a tab for another few weeks. If anyone knows the magic code to get the tab out of factory mode please pm me.
Thanks.
I need that Code aswell
Yeah I need that code to get out of factory mode aswell as I have the same issue.
Thanks
Which is amazing because they keep sending unusable tablets back to people after repairs. For me they set a password and I had to use ODIN to flash the original 3.0 I/O rom on it. Wouldn't even let me wipe portions in recovery.

man it is annoying i got the same problem. Anyone got the solution?
This is the exact issue I have, so this can't be cured by flashing old firmwares eh? Any solutions?
Btw, I have the 10.1 P7510 retail, not the Google I/O edition.

Got my Tab Fixed by Samsung Service Centre, In my case it was caused by missing IMEI and Serial Number.
I have the same problem, factory mode, and i already know that it is because of missing IMEI and efs folder on my tab. I have imei number on my box, isn't it possible to recover it using my imei number by myself?
the way i understand this is only samsung can take out the factory mode. so it happens on 3G tab as well, how did you get the "factory mode" in the first place?

[Q] ICS (stock) can't disable touch sounds [GOING MAD]

Yesterday I OTA upgraded to ICS, my carrier is Vodafone NL.
The upgrade is great and all but I can't disable the 'touch sounds', even though they are turned off in the sound settings. Boxes are unchecked. So the phone makes sounds when I tab, scroll and suchs. This bug is irritating as hell and I don't know how to fix it because I can't reinstall ICS using Kies and I don't want to root my Galaxy S2. Searched all over the Internet but can't find any people with a similar problem.
The only way to turn of the sounds is to disable 'Music, video, games and other media' sound to 0% you can't hear the sounds. But that's not how it's ment to be. When I watch a video or something I need to enable, turn up the sound again and the 'touch sounds' are enabled again.
I tried to check and uncheck the boxes and then rebooting the device but I didn't help. Does anybody have a solution?
Some specs:
Modelnumber: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband-version: I9100BULP6
Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484
[email protected] #3
Build number: IML74K.BUPLC
Start by backing up data and factory resetting .

Will try that. Will let you know.
Backing up using Kies.. there goes 2 hours of my life. (sh*t program)
Reset to factory setting using the dialpad technique. No success.
Any other suggestions?
Still same ordeal.. boxes are unchecked in the sound setting but 'touch sounds' keep on playing. Irritating.

Same here
Hi FundeMentaL,
Last week me and my girlfriend also updated our Samsung Galaxy S II's.
Somehow I couldn't manage to do it by Kies (tried it on 2 different computers, so I agree with your opinion on this program) so I did it OTA.
My girlfriend did it with Kies.
Weird thing is, she got the sounds and I didn't.
I drives her mad and the only thing we can do is turn off all media sounds (not a real solution). Nowhere in the settings I can see what causes this. And I can't replicate this on my phone either. I suspect TouchWiz.
I got android version 4.0.3 and build IML74K.XWLP7. What is your version? (By the way my phone is a UK distribution and I live in NL ).
It might be because I have a different launcher installed. Can you try to install Go Launcher EX and see what happens?

Hey nanopatch,
Sorry for coming back to you a little late. When no one could offer a solution I contacted Samsung. After explaining it to the service guy he said I was the first to report this bug. They adviced me to turn it in so the service center could look at it and fix it.
I upgraded my Galaxy S2 by OTA.
And when I reinstalled it through Kies. Still got the crappy sounds. Idd only option it to turn off all media sounds.
I've got Android 4.0.3 and build number IML74K.BULPC
My Android is all stock and isn't rooted, no launcher installed.
Going to send in my device. Definitely going to take a month to get it back ffs. Really crappy because I'm an app designer :S
Same touch sound problem
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, can't turn of the touch sounds on my brand new LG Optimus L5, which runs ICS. How was your problem finally solved, if at all?

Hello there
I too have just received this issue after an OTA update to 4.0.3. on my HTC Sensation. It's dreadful.
Any solutions would be welcome, I've not located any on the net at this time.

[Q] Need help, weird problem, don't know what to do.

Hello, i am using Samsung galaxy S3 international version yesterday my friend told me that the jelly bean update is released, so i tried updating it
and it worked fine
the model version says now 4.1.1
I am using every thing default in the phone did not change the launcher or the lock screen i had this phone for 2 weeks now
Here is my problem! every thing worked fine but when i went to my lock screen i noticed the left side of it really bright, when i go back to my home page the brightness goes away, I am using the same WP for both so it was very easy to catch on
I made then both WPs black to really see it, and it was very very obvious on the lock screen, the white was really showing, but in the homepage it is normal, you can even see it with a print screen, how weird is that? i have taken two photos one from the lock and one from the home,
Even tho the lock one is hard to see but trust me its x10 worse than that when you see it in the eye
This is the Lock screen
http: //i.imgur .com/ScyNq.png
This is the home screen
http: //i.imgur .com/BgaWy.png
it is the same WP on both
does any one have a clue what might be going on :S?
if you need any more info please tell me i will give what ever info you need
Did you try reset to factory defaults?
yes, same thing
any one knooooooooooooow??????????????????????????????????????????????
Ok, I would do the following if it is possible at all with your device:
1) flash back your old firmware
2) do reset to factory defaults again
3) check if the problem is still here
If the problem persists - something is wrong with your device. Next step is locating nearest service office.
If not - it is software problem, file a bug to Samsung and wait until they fix it.
Not really optimistic, but I don't have anything better
how can i flash back to old firmware?

[Q] Swiftkey-Keyboard changes to AOSP-Keyboard

Hey guys!
I've already posted my problem in the Nexus 4 Q/A-Forum.. till now without help. Well i thought that maybe here is a good place to get help, too!
So whats my problem.. Yesterday i flashed a new update of Xylon-Rom (clean flash) on my Nexus 4. Installed and restored all Apps. Usually I use Swiftkey 4 as keyboard, so I set up everything like all the times before. The last times everything works fine, but this time not. I set up SK as my standard keyboard and began to write. After a while I wanted to write again, but suddenly there was the AOSP keyboard. Changed back to SK. But after some moments it happend again. So everytime when there is a text input AOSP appears.. I change back to SK then, but after turning screen on some minutes later AOSP again.
As it would be not enough, the same thing is happening since yesterday on my gf phone (HTC One S, also rooted with Carbon Rom). Like on my phone, it never happenend before.
What I've done till now? Erased App-Data of both keyboards, disabled AOSP keyboard. Everything without success.
Dont know why it happens now... I often flash other Roms, Updates etc and I use Swiftkey for a long time. Restoring with Titanium works everytime. And this time i haven't done any other thing on Restoring.
I hope u understand my problem (my english isn't the best ) and anyone could help me!?
Thanks so far.
Cls
Tried to freeze the AOSP in Titanium -> no effect
Set Swiftkey as System-App -> no effect
:X
I was encountering this with swipe keyboard previously, and my solution was to use swiftkey.
