trouble with hole - Galaxy S II General

does anybody have problem with the hole to put your stick in on the phone.
hebben meer mensen er last van dat het touwtje niet blijft hangen in het gaatje van de telefoon.
sorry for the double language

Why sorry? It's just stupid mate. Now someone might give you answer in a language that others don't understand. You do it, then everyone will. How will XDA look like then?

no i put it in double language because i am not sure how to put it in English the right way.

You want to put what in what ?

remove battery cover before you insert the cord.
I though you can find it in the manual....

OMG what an epic question!!
This is the first time I have laughed in 3 weeks. I laughed so hard I cried.
Thank you!
PS also thank you for asking this question. I never realised there was a hole there for a cord in the first place!

Oh no!! My abs are sooooo sore from laughing!!
Maybe a line that Mr Chow could use in Hangover Part III !

Epic question.Epic thread. Epic Responses.
Anyway, I believe he's talking about that hole that samsung made on top left side for lanyards and such. Aren't you supposed to pass the string through the hole once, make a loop, then pass the whole string through that loop and then its tied good?
If that helps at all or is even remotely close to what the guy asked, I'm happy to help.
Regards.

Wait there are "other" android forums?

Heh - old problem mate, and you'll kick yourself once you do it.
Hold the phone, face down, with the top facing you. On the right hand side (not the side with the volume buttons) there is a groove. Stick your nail in there and pull it up, and it just pops off.
It's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's a lot easier than trying to pop it off from the volume side

I see the groove, Ive watched probably all the HD2 unboxing videos on the web. The cover is on tight..
The count is 5 nails chipped now.
With my left hand I am holding down the top and the bottom of the phone and with my right hand I am trying to pry the groove up, I flipped the phone so many times....
I can't believe I'm crying over a phone.

Yeah, that's a bit too far mate. Don't cry
It's just one of those things that once you get it, you'll really REALLY regret asking for help doing it in here.
If you hold the top and bottom with your right hand, with the screen facing the palm of your right hand, and the volume buttons underneath, you should have the groove at the top.
Put your left hand fingers under the phone (near the volume buttons) and put your thumbnail in the groove. Press your thumb down and left.
It really is easy, so you must be doing something wrong if that doesn't work.
Good luck!

This is a joke right ? Do you have jelly for hands?
I am a woman, that nick is just a combination of my names.. (my father's surname - not mine - is Blackman, hence the 'man' at the end).
I don't post much but I have been around WinMo for several years...
HP iPAQ h2210 (PDA WM2003) -> Audiovox PPC-4100 (WM2003 phone) -> HP iPAQ h6315 -> HP iPAQ hw6925 -> O2 XDA Atom -> Asus P527 -> now HTC Leo
(Numerous Nokia's/SE/Dual SIMs, etc)
All of them still work (I have all of them), two h6315s and three PPC-4100 (in parts but I can form 1 complete phone).. but I have been really looking forward to this Leo...
I purchased a 4 year warranty PLUS 4 year accidental protection + all the accessories I could find for the HTC Leo (to show my commitment to this phone).
Still no luck with this cover.. I bit off all my nails..
taking a break and will try again later.
Are there any actual video posts removing the back cover (reviewed some LEO unboxing videos but they all skipped that part) ?
Thanks for the assistance.

It does make more sense now that we know you're of the female persuasion. A guy breaking 5 nails on his new phone just sounds a bit... well... you know
Have you tried using something like a small screwdriver or similar? It really does just pop off when you get it right, but long nails ain't the way to go.

Don't underestimate the power of revealing that here
I've had a closer look but I don't think it is wise to use tools to lift the back cover. That will damage you device. Start by asking anyone with stronger nails to open it up for you.

Nexus One Sleeve Trick :) Now with pics

Ok, so I am using the original sleeve that came with the phone, which protect it well enough to my mind.
Some stuff were pissing me off though, like having to take the phone out of it to check for new notifications, or the fact that the sound (notifications/ringtones) was attenuated a lot by it. So much in fact that even at max volume, I missed a couple of calls.
So I did cut a round area where the trackball is located, which allows me to see if I have new notifications without getting the phone out of it.
I also cut it where the speaker output is located. Now I can finally hear my phone ringing, in its sleeve, in my pocket.
Did cut it with normal scissors and burned the edges (to avoid the holes to grow) with a lighter.
It is a dumb trick, but improved a lot my overall experience, so I just wanted to share it here
I ll try to post pics later on, as I am at work right now and cannot do it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the trackball hole in the sleeve...haha I can picture it.
I'm sure Apple has already patented that and now it's only a matter of time before they sue you
Yes! Definitely put up some pics of your ghetto-fabulous new sleeve!

you want it for something it really isn't; it's a simple flip cover for the phone. nothing more.
Got a free one as well. It has been on my note since the first day. Makes it easier to throw in the bag or pocket without worrying about the screen. A friend that owns a GS2 loved the fit and function of it, and if Samsung was making one he would be getting it in a heartbeat.

You're right. I'm using one too and I like it. Sure, it is not a real "protection" against throwing your note out of the fifth floor, but it's a nice addtion to protect your screen in your pocket.
In addition it also comes with a new back-cover with a much better protection for your camera!

you are wrong brother. ive a white note and a white flip case, i feel (& my friends feel)
1.it looks neat and good
2.it protects the screen.
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, it has a slight bump on camera lens side and this protects your lens from scratches, mind you-this is not there for default back cover.!!!!

Nach Überprüfung Ihrer Angaben haben wir festgestellt, dass es sich bei Ihrem Gerät um ausländische Ware handelt. Bei dieser Aktion jedoch ist der Versand ins Ausland ausgeschlossen.
Gerne können Sie uns eine Adresse in Deutschland mitteilen, an die wir das Flip Cover schicken können.
Wir bitten Sie um Ihr Verständnis.
Es grüßt Sie herzlichst

and how much does the shipping cost ??
Lets Say to Saudi Arabia
In Turkey they give it when you buy. I used it but it is impractical. Let's say your phone rings. What will you do:
1. Grab with right hand and open the cover with other hand.
2. In order to fold cover on back, give phone to your other hand which opened the cover.
3. Touch screen to answer call.
4. If you are right handed like me, then put phone to your right hand again.
5. Bring your phone to your ear and talk.
Too long time to start talking.

HTC One Sweden users thread

Hey guys , I thought it would be nice if there was a thread for us Swedes. I'll give you a heads up and let you know I'm coming to this device, hopefully in about a month or so, so you know whom to hide from. I'm a flashaholic/professional whinger/indecisive rom slut but I'll try to keep the One unrooted/stock for at least a while. Or not. Never know how things play out.
Great.

This is the exact same problem that a lot of HTC devices face (I've seen it in person with the One X). Sometimes, the brightness isn't right with the display. Sometimes, there's a yellow tint. Sometimes, you can see backlight bleeding.
Now, people may be lucky enough to get a unit free of defects but it doesn't erase the fact that these problems exist with HTC devices. This is only the hardware part of the issue! Once you start using Sense UI, the entire Android experience is ruined!
I'm just looking out for you, Shawty! I don't want you to make the wrong choice and then not have enough money to replace it if you end up not liking it! :angel:
F*** it, I'm still getting it. I'm sure most if not all issues are first batch problems like all phones have.

Fortune favours the brave.
The only problem I have is a remarkably small gap and the occasional speaker pops, barely audible but still the. Would I buy it still knowing this.....hell yes. Best phone ever. Techradar's review sums it up nicely.

Linköping is covered by 4G by both Telia and Three, if you want to go visiting around other parts of Sweden some less well inhabited but still nevertheless picturesque parts I suggest Telia otherwise Three.
Linköping is the 7th biggest town in Swedn with around 150 000 people. Its not too far from Stockholm.
I am originally from Huddersfield. Ayee lad!
Mourinho can move over... there is a new Special One.
I got a lovely, blinky, blanky, spinky, spanky new One from Telia on the 24th and have not been able to put it down since. There was a slight bwah, bwah, bwaaah, moment of deflation when I didn't get the sim card on the same day - in fact I had to wait until after the following weekend - but it was still pretty grand on wi-fi.
However, now it's all set and I'm enjoying those soaring 4G speeds. I thought I'd give my initial impressions/experiences:
Plus
The look and feel is sublime.
The camera is fantastic - playing with Zoe is great and I haven't missed any of those much talked about megapixels.
The screen is crystal clear and super bright.
The SOUND is a world ahead of any other phone speakers - almost zero tinniness and a nice noticable bass.
The speed and smoothness is, well, speedy and smoothy as one would expect. No jerks, no lags.
The little notification LED behind the top speaker grill is ace.
Call quality es muy excellenté.
Generally the phone is a joy to use.
Minus
The camera - though fantastic - is rather complicated for a schmuck such as yours truly. Although for the level of functionality it affords, I suppose the complexity is necessary. Of course, it's simply a matter of becoming used to using the various menus etc..
I miss the physical "press to wake" button on the front. For example, if I want to check the time, I have to hold the phone in place to press the top button. First world problems I know, but still. I'd have liked the hTC logo to have been a pressable button.
When using the Zoe function - Google+ Instant upload will upload each frame as a separate picture, as is its raison d'ètre. Don't know how or if this can be solved in any smart fashion, but it's a bit jobbig.*
I think that's about it.
Is it a bug?
1) During a call to my son at a Valborgsfirande* last week, I was in a big crowd and tried to signal him using the torch function. Before displaying the message "Cannot use torch during a call", or something similar, the phone went through I'd say 30 seconds of freakiness. Screen went black and then came on again several times, buttons wouldn't respond, that sort of thing.
2) After using the Zoe function on the cam, I watched the resulting 30 second "Zoe". I decided to alter the content it chose to include by using the "select content" option from the menu. However, it seemed to ignore my selection of clips to be used and went with what it thought best instead.
3) I was listening to Watford v Leeds using TuneIn Pro on Saturday. Watford needed a win to automatically qualify for the Premiership - unfortunately they lost and will have to contest the playoffs. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next OTA update.
*1 a bit of a bummer
*2 It's a big Swedish festival, where youngsters get drunk very near a large fire which has been started by a procession of what looks like a torch-bearing KKK close harmony male voice choir.

This is the exact same problem that a lot of HTC devices face (I've seen it in person with the One X). Sometimes, the brightness isn't right with the display. Sometimes, there's a yellow tint. Sometimes, you can see backlight bleeding.
Now, people may be lucky enough to get a unit free of defects but it doesn't erase the fact that these problems exist with HTC devices. This is only the hardware part of the issue! Once you start using Sense UI, the entire Android experience is ruined!
I'm just looking out for you, Shawty! I don't want you to make the wrong choice and then not have enough money to replace it if you end up not liking it! :angel:

The One is not like previous htc phones.
It's actually a great phone which rivals the S4 without the gimmicks. The screen is amazing. I'm glad I made the change instead of opting for the S4.
It doesnt suffer the same lag that the S3 and S4 does... Prob cause sense 5 is more optimised than TW and it's a step closer to stock android.
Only thing I miss is the removable battery, but being a Nexus fan I'm guessing the shawty won't mind this.
@Theshawty... DO IT!

I don't care whether the phone has a removable battery or not. I've never needed to switch batteries since I have a charges near me the entire day when I'm not in school or at work. I will definitely get it, but I'll have to wait until the beginning of July. I'm sure it'll still be a great phone by then.

Tjenare,
Jag är ny på Android och HTC. Så ha tålamod =)!
Det hände något märkligt med youtube när jag skulle lägga upp en "Zoe" som jag skapat.
Jag får nu bara felaktig åtgärd när jag öppnar appen. Kan inte logga in.
Har försökt att ta bort appen "senaste updatering", rensa historik osv.
Men inget verkar hjälpa.
Vad ska jag göra för att fixa detta? Är det ett problem relaterat till zoe eller är det youtube appen som inte funkar som den ska?
Tacksam för svar!
MVH //Stoffe
OBS! Orginal htc one ingen root eller dylikt
/// Det funkar nu, vet inte hur men det gör det =). Loggade ut från dator så kanske blev någon krock?!! :S
