Sweet!

DISREGARD - For original Nook not the Nook Color!!

Check out this price on Amazon...

Otterbox for Nook Color

When I add it to the cart and then view it...

$25.73 + $7.46 shipping

That saves you about $24...

L8r!

Hey !

I was trying out the ROM Manager and was checking out the roms available in the list, i accidentally pressed a wrong model and my device was flashed...now my phone is hard bricked, it doesn't even switch on in any mode.

i cam across this link for Samsung Galaxy S

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838942

here he shows how to get the phone into download mode.

Wanted to know if the same procedure can be used for a Samsung Galaxy Ace ??

thanks in advance ...
[General Questions and Answers] yonep:
an exact thing happen to me.but i manage to get my pc to detect the phone by pressing power+volume up+home (i dont know what mode).odin detected my phone but the flashing stuck at setup connection..because it was not in downloading mode i guess...

same as above, help needed!

additional info: pc and odin detect phone bot not kies, on kies it keep saying connecting....and theres no display on the phone
[General Questions and Answers] shailo:
same here wont do anything
[General Questions and Answers] dimethicone2k9:
same with me, my phone wont start even on download mode so you cannot use odin.. please help.
[General Questions and Answers] donomeoww:
same case , i accidently pressed wrong phone version and my phone was 'bricked'

any help ? :(
[General Questions and Answers] ramy.s:
Same happened here! Has anyone found a solution??

Edit: All right. Here's what I did:

1. Remove the battery from the Galaxy Ace

2. Connect the USB cable to the PC as well as the phone

3. Hold: volume down + home + power buttons all together and insert the battery while you're doing that (could be a bit tricky but it works)

4. Now you should be in download mode with "downloading" on your screen

5. Open up Odin v4.38 and flash your stock firmware (find it on samfirmware)

6. That's it! It should be fully working now (at least it did for me)

Tell me if it works for you guys!
[General Questions and Answers] donomeoww:
its okay alr , i bring it to the service center it claims my motherboard spoil , it changed a new one for me :)
[General Questions and Answers] dimethicone2k9:
@ramy.s - i tried what you did but still nothing happens.

@donomeoww - how much did it cost you for samsung to replace your motherboard? i know jtag can be an option to revive the unit but sadly the model is not yet supported, lucky for samsung s5570 though they already have jtag support on 1st week of april.
[General Questions and Answers] joerusama:

It just corrupts your motherboard

So a hardware issue can't be solved from home

Only option I guess is Service Center

Hope you have warranty

Any ideas???
[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
Heya guys

as title suggests

I'm seriously entertaining the idea of trading my Cappy for an HD2 since it can run so many OS's and tweaking, not to mention a larger screen and slightly more RAM on the T-Mo version of the HD2.

What should I do?

there are obvious pros and cons for this move

Pros:

Bigger screen

More RAM on the T-Mo HD2

More OS's on the HD2---Android, WP7, etc

Cons:

Snapdragon SoC is 1st Gen on the HD2 and is slower than HummingBird SoC

LCD dislpay instead of SAMOLED display

so.....any opinions? I'm really tempted to trade, but I'm already planning to pick up a dual core phone some time Q3-4 next year as a treat for my birthday

cheers
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
As long as you don't let someone sell you a fualty HD2, you can not go wrong buying a HD2. Yeah the screen is not AMOLED screen. But the size of the scree makes up for that, plus I love the desplay quality. And yes the QualComm Snapdragon in the HD2 is first Gen, but still it is a SNAPDRAGON. They don't say release the dragon within for nothing. The Snapdragon is a awesome processor, don't let all the hipe about other processors fool you. They are all trying to catch the Snapdragon. Once the dual core Snapdragon devices start coming out the other companies will really begin to rush their production of another processor. I Just wonder what a 2ghz dual core Snapdragon could do, just me dreaming though lol.
[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
Is there an issue with faulty hd2's or something?

Swyped from my captivating device running darky with onix
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Despite what everyone else is saying about how the processors are different, they really aren't. All are built on the same ARM instruction set, maybe with a little modifications, and some other part, I don't remember, is the same. So what i'm saying, in terms of processing, they really aren't different. In terms of GPU you should know that the sgs beats the HD2, period.

Interestingly i temporarily traded my HD2 for my cousin's cappy. He wanted to try out the HD2 for its multi booting OS goodness, I wanted to try a true android phone. Now I'm going to confidently say the sgs runs android a lot smoother and faster than the HD2, just something you should note if you're looking for performance. However don't think i'm saying the HD2 running android isn't smooth at all, it is, it just won't compare to a true android phone.

However as you said you wanted to try multi booting and tweaking, so the phone will never get you bored in that aspect. You'll be on the site constantly searching for new roms to try out, just for the sake of flashing cuz you're so addicted to flashing.
[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
Hmmm, thanks a lot for sharing your experience.......

Well I don't really have to "downgrade/sidegrade"

It feels more like an impulse move :p

I really shouldn't....should I? I'm planning to get a new phone anyway later this year q3-q4

Swyped from my captivating device running darky with onix
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Oh no don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the HD2 is horrible at running anything. it runs great, just not as good as a true device of the OS, apart form winmo.

Now since you're saying Q3/4 you'll be getting a new phone i say, why not? For me right now, i'm actually bored with the captivate. No offense to captivate users, but it feels like an iPhone right now. Reason being all the roms are so similar, no uniqueness or variety. Now its not the devs fault of course. What can devs do if they don't have an AOSP to work on?

i guess its cuz i'm so addicted to flashing from my hd2.

Anyways the Hd2 will keep you preoccupied until you get a new phone.
[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
:p

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well

Hows battery life and such?

Thanks!

Swyped from my captivating device running darky with onix
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No it is not an issue for say with faulty HD2s, \but some [people on Ebay and such are selling HD2s that they have screwed up or someone has screwed up but tell people it is fixable or that there is nothing wrong with the phone when they know it is.

Rather if I am Running Windows Mobile or a NAND Android ROM my battery will last for around 6 to 7 hours but that is with heavy use, I am a heavy user lol.
[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
thanks! I'm planning to pick up a 2.4k mah battery anyway and I usually bring my usb cable around

How hard is it to flash nand android onto the hd2?

cheers!

Swyped from my captivating device running darky with onix
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
It's not hard to flash android/WP7 on the Hd2.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
I disagree with the person that said an SGS runs android "more smoothly" than the HD2.

I've got a CM7 ROM on my HD2 and it runs tons more smoothly than the lagtastic stock ROM on the SGS, no doubt. If you flash a DHD port then yeah, ok, it will be slower, but CM7 or even Sense runs faster and better IMO than stock SGS (not that SGS can even run sense). I've never used CM7 on SGS so can't compare that.

Honestly my Android is running fast and seems/feels like a native Android device. WP7 feels/runs like a native WP7 device except multi-touch can be a little tricky (sometimes doesn't register pinch-to-zoom).

I would NOT trade my HD2 for an SGS unless it was the 4G version that I would sell and buy an HD2 on the cheap and keep the extra money for tacos :)

I personally think it's a smart trade because the HD2 has more to offer and doesn't feel like a cheap piece of plastic, yeah SAMOLED is nice but it's not that much nicer and you get really used to the HD2 screen and get to really enjoy it.

I know the hummingbird soc is better than 1st gen snapdragon, but samsung is so horrible with their code they don't utilize it's power anyways, an iPhone 4 uses the same soc and blows the SGS out of the water with a lower clock speed...
[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
CM7 is very buggy for the SGS anyway, that I never bothered to even flash it :o

thanks for the opinions!
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
@orange

It seems i forgot to mention on a custom rom. However why are you going to compare a device that is running on software that has not been optimized to the fullest, to one that has, and then conclude one is better? I'm sorry, but isn't that unfair? If you're going to compare, compare on even grounds, one on a custom rom, to the other on a custom rom.

Either way, we all know the sgs is a piece of crap with the stock rom due to its horrible file system. But with lagfixes/tweaks/custom roms, it becomes the diamond it was supposed to be.

I downloaded firefox for my android the other day, and since then QR codes are opening with that instead of QR droid, even ones that I KNOW should be taking me to the market instead.

When they open with firefox, I just get a white screen (even when I'm on a wireless network) and nothing loads.

When i go to application manager > qr droid, I've pressed force close, and the "delete data" or whatever the setting is. There are no default programs selected apparently.

Any ideas?

You need to clear the defaults on FF or find a way to edit which links it is associated with. FF has probably been made you default browser and is grabbing some links that it shouldn't.

This summer I'm going to be working a pretty labour intensive job, and I don't want to take my Galaxy i9000 with me to work every day and risk breaking it.

I am wondering though, if there is a large selection of "cheap" phones I could just pop my sim card into, and use it for the day, and put my sim card back into my galaxy at night.

I know that bell is a CDMA network, and that the phone would have to work on 850 and 1900 HSPA.

http://support.bell.ca/en-AB/Mobility/Network_coverage/Will_my_mobile_phone_or_smartphone_work_on_the_Bell_network

So my question is, what is the worst CDMA phone with a sim card that I could use during the day!

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Get a 'samsung b2100' from amazon. Should work on that network and its durable as hell.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robca79:
I was able to go in recovery mode and partition tje sdcard. Problem is i could only get half the card back. Its a 8gb card now it is only 4gb. Now, how do i het the rest of it back. Lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoltyPK:
Where did you get your SD card from cuz it sounds like it may be starting to go bad. I'd try formating again with a stock ROM...bit of a pain i know, but might produce a better result also you may wanna try to just reformat a few times in a row with your current ROM to see if it corrects the problem.

best option is if it keeps up is to pull your SD card out of your device and format with a computer when u have access to one then format using your device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mship:
Sorry if this was already asked but I see a lot of thread of people asking how to do the GPS fix for CM7, but I dont actually see anywhere were it is actually explained what the fix is doing. Again, if this was answered I apologize for asking a question that has been answered. However I have done a search and nothing comes up when I type in the question that answers it.

So if anyone can explain or point me to some material that would explain what the GPS fix does I would love you forever.

Best Regards

Mship.

Sorry posted this in the wrong area can you please delete?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
You have to use a sense ROM to fix GPS. You also need your MSL which can easily be retrieved using MSL reader from the Android market.

Backup your CM7 install, then flash a Sense ROM.

With the sense ROM, dial ##gpsclrx# and the phone should do some stuff and reboot. After it is done rebooting, nandroid back to your CM7 and GPS should be fixed.

Remember to post such questions in the Q&A section.

Hope this works for you.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] DVA4890:
I have one little problem I could not find a fix on. When i boot into Android or reinstall it my Orange LED stays on it and it never goes off. Is there a fix for it.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
This is a known problem, see the bottom of the thread in my signature for a full list of known problems.

The notification LED will stay like this until one of the developers fixes it, when fixed, a kernel update will be available for you to download.

Currently, the LED usually indicates sleep state. Orange for awake, blinking for going into sleep mode, and solid green for deep sleep.

Soon, hopefully, the LED will be changed so that it indicates new messages or missed calls on the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] DVA4890:
Thanks

Is there a way to turn it off or disable it?

The only problem I have with it is will it drain the battier faster (then normal)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
It will not drain the battery any faster than normal.

Please read the FAQ, the LED is currently used to indicate sleep state - let me tell you, the phone not sleeping is MUCH worse than any LED being constantly on... :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
Well, solid green WILL drain faster than "off" - however, the drain is negligible compared to even the sleep mode drain of the radio.

The only time you might see more than a few minutes difference with the solid-green vs. off in terms of battery life is in airplane mode and in sleep for many hours - but who puts their phone in airplane mode and doesn't use it at all for many hours? The almost negligible difference in battery life is made up for by the improvement in power management debugging capability. Once we kill all of the Sleeps of Death, failed wakes, and RIL crashes (all current work in progress), the LED behavior will get changed.

However - If you are running one of WisTilt2's PM kernels and you see the phone stay in solid orange or blinking green for extended periods of time, some app or setting you are using is preventing deep sleep. Do a dmesg and look for wakelocks, or do the following:

Disable GPS - when enabled, it prevents deep sleep until disabled

Use Advanced Task Killer to kill background apps. Some apps wakelock the hell out of our phones. Facebook is particularly bad here.

If you're not running a WisTilt2 kernel, there is no difference between "on/temporary wake due to alarm/interrupt" and "attempting to sleep". WisTilt2's kernels change LED behavior during "attempting to sleep" to blinking green.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] DVA4890:
Now how do I do a dmesg where cam I find out how to do that

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Christiaan91:
2 ways:

ADB:

Windows

Other OS

Terminal:

Install Android Terminal Emulator.

Open and type:

su [enter]

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt [enter] (or other direction)

Open file manager.

Go to your sdcad and open dmesg.txt
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
Fairly certain mortals can view dmesg output, so no need for su I think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
lol @ mortals.

This is correct, you do not need su rights to use/view dmesg.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
There is a nifty app called OSMonitor in the market that among other things will let view dmesg live. Just found it yesterday.
