Answer 1

This seems to be affecting all stock Samsung firmwares, i am logging a concern with Samsung about this. It seems to be isolated to Samsung devices. So if you can test on another device, or install custom firmware. both of those have worked for me. and your code looks good, nothing wrong there, this is a firmware issue

EDIT: I have contacted the Korean Engineers - they have said they weren't aware of the problem but have patched and it should be fixed in the latest update for the SGS and other affected products. (unless of course that device hasn't had an update for a while - so not sure about the SGT) They have said the problem lies with the devices using Broadcomm chips...so yeah

Use the above code. it seems to work for me will have to check it on a few other devices but yeah
