[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiourgos:
Why do you need sth better for a month? Just wait and get SGS2.

Use your Nokia as most people does - as a simple phone and don't expect too much. I'm sure you can stand without web browsing or quality games for a while. You still can phone anybody, text, make notes and check time ;D

BTW. take it easy, I'm in worse situation. As my E65 died I'm stuck with Nokia 6300 for a month waiting for SGS2. <facepalm>

It's only 1 month - 4 lousy Mondays, a few beers, maybe a read book or good PC game played. Don't think about waiting.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overlord Yuri:
Somehow your misfortunes makes me feel better. Thanks! :D

I will wait. It has better be worth it! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXIIA:
I'm waiting... I've been using the same terrible LG Vu for over 2 years now... I really hope this phone comes to USA soon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broomfundel:
I got slapped last time I said this, but RAM. I have been out of contract for 2 months, I can get the X2 or Arc as well. But Arc is single core with 512MB ram, and X2 as great as it seems only has the 512MB as well.

Of the two, the X2 is the winner hands down, and it already has a top notch set of devs working on it. (Look at Paul's work from MODACO)

If you can afford to upgrade in a year, then yes, the X2 is a great phone. I am so tempted by it, but I have spent almost 2 years trying to make the most of the I75000. It was almost enough to put me off Samsung for life.

We do not know what the community will be like for the Galaxy SII, but it has a dual core cpu, great screen, good battery and 1GB of RAM. So with a bit of work , it will be a good phone for a few years.

So time to stop rambling, yes, from someone else going nuts and being tempted left right and centre, wait if you can.

If that red-crushing isn't fixed, I'll take an IPS LCD or a SLCD over a sgs2 any day. It's always one step forward and two steps back with Samsung amoled's.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoveisPeace2012:
Umm okk....

Three words super amoled plus !!!!!

Take a look at it carefully before you praise it. It totally blurs shadow details on red colors.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boondoc:
you know what, i'll deal with a little bit of red over-saturation for the vibrancy you get with all the other colors of the spectrum. and if you're will to let that push you to slcd... well i just have no words for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
+1 i love superamoled only for BLACK colour rest are simply 'dare i say' oversaturated .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterHook:
Oversaturated is the way I like it ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkusPO:
i'm actually starting to get really itchy, i'm tempted to buy a nexus s for the newest updates - i do want to use it as an app dev phone - but it seems very hit and miss in terms of performance, but then there's touchwiz, which even at 4.0 looks terrible. there's nothing that the s2 does that the ns doesn't really do, only - at this stage - just a bit faster because only honeycomb can handle dual core processors...

plus, it'll be £100 cheaper, which would mean i recouperate my costs faster.

i'm just not sure the s2 would be totally for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EleCtrOx666:
Doesn't really do more ? Nexus S lacks of MicroSD & Flash LED, it should be a standard for a smartphone to have that now...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkusPO:
the nexus s has a flash led. the gs however, does not. no microsd? not an issue for me. 16gb of internal storage is more than enough for me - and really, for anyone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonRaven:
I disagree with you on that point. I have a huge music collection which I access daily. Depending on what I want to listen to, I select. 16 GB is not enough for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkusPO:
sure, me too. but i get bored with my music. so i just use internet radio / last.fm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiourgos:
lol, me three :D

what's more, I have most music in FLAC
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
Yeah im also considering not waiting untill samsung galaxy s2, the uncertainity of the release date is killing me, if i could just have that super amoled plus on any other phone that was android i would buy it in a heartbeat, but i dont live in US, i live in europe :\

So my conclusions are these: who can wait, wait you wont regret it, ull get top of the line screen unrivaled versus samoled or any other lcds, the games on it if all is according to specs will not blurr at all thanks to its 0.01ms, a camera capable of 1080p at 30fps video recording, 1gb ram not that 512 isnt enough but the more the merrier, a Mali-400MP GPU according to gsmarena, and well everything else that any other high end device has right now, excluding the 3D gimmick which frankly doesnt appeal me at all but some might get appealed by it.

Its a great phone and well worth the wait, but some ppl hate to wait especially when may isnt even a confirmed release date.

IF u cant wait the current phones that are worth it are: Xperia Arc, LG Optimus 2x and Samsung Nexus S lacking the sd slot....

They all have pros and cons, for instance:

Xperia Arc- better & bigger lcd screen than lg optimus 2x,

Bigger Resolution vs lg optimus 2x and nexus s yeah only a tad bigger 854*480 vs 800*480

Better Camera for snapshots than LG Optimus 2x,

& that bravia engine for pictures and movies, not that it will appeal everyone anyways.

LG Optimus 2x

Better Camera for video recording 1080p but only at 24fps(thx to nvidia tegra 2)

More performance power, the best currently available and i take it it will not fall way to much behind samsung galaxy s2 in that matter.

Samsung Nexus S

Worst Camera compared vs lg optimus 2x and xperia arc (this needed to be pointed out)

soled screen, some ppl dislike it, but after ive seen it in real life i think it easelly beats anything out there untill the soled+ comes out, especially for games with decent fps

Upgraded humming bird powervr gpu, possibly outperforming xperia arc, didnt really check this out.

The biggest downside to this phone is it does not have a SD card slot & the design is average looking, it also features a smaller screen than xperia arc.

So there u have it, i guess ive created more doubts than answears :P

Xperia play, best lcd screen so far, awsome camera for taking pictures, biggest display of all 3

LG OPtimus 2x, better performance and 1080p video capture at 24fps

Samsung Nexus S, soled screen & an upgraded powervr gfx card.

Im not very sure how these dual core phones will work out with games, sure there is tegra zone but then again, there was ngage2 for some nokia n series which failed miserably after just a year....

So that remains to be seen,

All 3 phones can run any game at decent fps right now, but lg performance is more future proof than the other 2 at the sacrifice of worse camera for pictures and a screen which is smaller and also has worse quality compared to xperia arc
[G Tablet General] a1strank:
Sorry I did a search on this and I could not find anything. I just got my G tablet from woot today and I could not get the "MENU" button to work. It is the button below the home button and above the back button. I've used all the apps and whenever I hit the menu button nothing comes up, is this normal?
[G Tablet General] bcampbe7:
Depends on the app as to whether the menu button does anything. Some apps simply do not havea menu.

When you press the menu button while on the main screen does anything happen? It should take you to the settings options, no?
[G Tablet General] a1strank:
nothing happens. Tried this on classic home and dashboard home
[G Tablet General] collindv:
I think this is normal, that button does not seem to do anything in most stock apps. Try opening up the es file explorer and pressing it.
[G Tablet General] a1strank:
oh wow you got it..I tried this on music, browser, and like 10 million other apps and none of them seem to work. thanks a bunch..at least I know the menu button is working fine...

SIDE QUESTION: anyone know how to choose camera pictures or non-stock pictures as wallpaper? I can't seem to figure this out...spend like an hr on this..

EDIT: Nvm flashed to TnT and I don't have to worry about this anymore. worked great
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTablet:
I still can not get an external usb ntfs drive to mount... I have tried Robeet's suggestion of:

NTFS mounting requires these commands, in terminal:

su

mount -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

Problem is that you are mounting as root, so you can't see the mounted files in the Android GUI. You could also do a chmod, but that's a bit of an extra burden. Anyone know how to mount this as a UID that it viewable in the GUI?

EDIT: This should work:

su

mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

and this does not work... keeps saying no such device. I am running the ZPAD Clean 3.0 Rom and the latest kernel from Pershoot...

Anyone else having success getting a WD external usb hard drive to mount?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
do a search this was solved required smaller partitions and reformat .
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungLu:
I make the NTFS USB external HDD with its own power supply work finnaly with the help of rajeevvp's article:

Thread: Mounting 2 storage usb devices View Single Post #8 20th May 2011, 05:01 PM

rajeevvp Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Bangalore Posts: 563

(I lost his link.)

The main rajeevvp's idea is to download the right version of ntfs.ko

"For this, you have to know which kernel you're running. There are 2 kernels that are commonly used on the gTablet: clemsyn's and pershoot's. I use pershoot's kernel so my instructions will be for that. The pershoot kernel supports NTFS filesystems, but, this support is not built into the kernel. Support is instead provided using kernel modules which you'll have to download first from the author's website and then load manually.

Download the correct kernel modules file for the running kernel. Find the kernel version first:

Code:

$ uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.32.40-cyanogenmod #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 13 17:37:53 EDT 2011 armv7l GNU/LinuxThe kernel version is 2.6.32.40."

Go to http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and download the kernel modules file for that kernel version

Then

Load the kernel modules (I'm assuming now that they're on /mnt/sdcard), then mount the HDD:

Code:

$ su

# insmod /mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko

# insmod /mnt/sdcard/ntfs.ko

# mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1/mnt/usbdisk (from Roebeet)

To unmount it

Code:

$ su

# umount /mnt/usbdisk

I use GScript lite to do the work. I can play large video file from /mnt/usbdisk (NTFS USB HDD)

Thank you very much Rajeevvp for your guide.

Hope that help.

My GTab is running Brilliant Corners 1.3.1
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spazmodo:
I'm having this issue also. I have run the following:

$ su

# insmod /mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko

# insmod /mnt/sdcard/ntfs.ko

# mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1/mnt/usbdisk

and I get

mount: can't read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory

:(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelRider:
Which ROM are you running?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
There is a space missing between "/dev/block/sda1" and "/mnt/usbdisk".

See this post of mine for the original instructions.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrax2768:
I don't know if anyone has noticed this but after I had changed my kernel my clock up top and on the htc clock shows that I'm located in Iceland when I live in florida lol. Anyone think this is an issue with rom or kernel? I'm on bamf 1.3 and 1.76ghz kernel.
[Legend Themes and Apps] alexhtclegend:
SPB mobile shell 3d! It is finally here; I've given it a try, and I must say I like it. However, the $15 (£~10) price tag is a little steep.

http://spb.com/android-software/shell
[Legend Themes and Apps] Asovse1:
Does it run fine, no lag?

Maybe I'll say it, I guess I will: This thing looks like it struts its stuff more hardcore than Sense.
[Legend Themes and Apps] speedyink:
Yeah, how does it run? $15 is pretty steep..but it looks pretty intense compared to the other home replacements.
[Legend Themes and Apps] frentraken:
I was playing with it a bit on my CM7 legend, and it ran super smooth. Not sure what's it's battery impact or anything was since I was running what shall be considered a trial version, that wouldn't stay as the default home screen so only had it going for a few minutes. But like usual SPB makes a nice program and runs it at way above average cost for what it is. Might still get it later not sold on it yet though. Oh not sure if it says it anywhere but it seems to kill live wallpapers.
[Legend Themes and Apps] alexhtclegend:
It doesn't support live wallpapers for 'performance issues'. It runs very smoothly though, but I've noticed that when you open the app drawer it sometimes freezes for a few seconds. Generally, it seems very good; just as eye-pleasing as sense, but smoother, and I especially like the 3d carousel and the folders. Android folders where always a bit rubbish, but the folders on this thing are as good as in iOS, only you can have an unlimited number of apps in each one!

$10 would probably be a better price for it - that's still quite a bit compared to other Android apps, but the developers have clearly put a lot of effort into this.
[Legend Themes and Apps] speedyink:
I'm utterly confused by this statement...what makes iOS folders so special? Other than it looking pretty when you open it.

I was almost sold on it until I figured out icon and widget placement is just like iOS, ie you can't put them anywhere. That totally kills my layout scheme.
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Well, I had a go. $15 is way too much for this. It's not what I'd call a "phone changing" app. I'll stick to LPP
[Legend Themes and Apps] alexhtclegend:
That's all I meant - the Android folders are quite ugly. I've always wanted a cross between iOS and Android, like MIUI, and this just about achieves that.

And yes, that is slightly annoying!
[Legend Themes and Apps] jamaalbball:
15 is way too much.. i would pay 15 for sth mindblowing, but Not for this ^^
[Legend Themes and Apps] Rapier:
I've made the "mistake"...and have paid. The shell lasted on my phone 1 hour. Maybe it's just me, but when returning from each application launched or other screen besides the home screen, I got a BLACK one instead of the homescreen. I had to touch the screen (or press back button) once again to get the proper screen. I wrote to support, they asked me to reinstall it. I did and it's the same. So getting a black screen each time I'm supposing to be back at homescreen does not convince me at all.

That was the biggest drawback for me. There was no lag though when scroling through carousel or when playing with the menus. Other things I didn't like were the lack of widget resizing support or some other stuff I got used to from ADW Launcher/EX. The switch widgets (for WiFi/BT, etc) were not so customisable, same goes for the widgets on the screens. I was not able to set the alarm appl to be launched when pressing the clock (I use Alarm Clock+ by default), or the SMS application, or the dialer. These are things I didn't like at all, especialy from a 10 EUR/15 USD launcher. I've expected too much I guess. Back on Launcher 7 or ADW Launcher EX. Oh...I almost forgot to mention that the "auto arrange" setting for icons, widgets and so on, pissed me off alot. Could be that I didin't find where to deactivate it, but usualy I want to arrange things on my screen myself.

Good job guys...Marketing deserves it all. They convinced me to buy it...the application itself didn't.
[Legend Themes and Apps] fede91it:
This is a cyanogen issue, no problems for other roms. ;)
[Legend Themes and Apps] MaBlo:
@Rapier. As the guy above me pointed out, this seems to be a issue with CM. The same thing happened to be, but flashing Blayos Rom solved it.

I'm actually very happy with it, I think it looks great and the speed is awesome. The only thing I don't like is the shortcut auto arrange.
[Legend Themes and Apps] Rapier:
Too bad then. And to understand better, you're talking about the "black screen issue" right?

Still there are some other things that I don't like (I've pointed them out in my post) and I don't think they're CM related. I'm not sorry about the money, but I will not change CM ROM for this. If SPB will work on CM ROM, great, I'll give it another try...till then, I'll stick with Launcher 7 or ADW Launcher EX.

Don't missunderstood me...SPB IS GREAT. Really. I had it on my HTC Diamond (an older version) and it was the best launcher I've ever used on that phone. But after switching to Android and playing with ADW, Launcher Pro and others, I just feel it more "restricted" and offering fewer options, especially when talking about a much higher price. The interface is neat, has a lot of things, but going deep under it's hood is not allowing you to customize it as much as other launchers. Most of the widgets are limited in functionality and do not allow many customizations. But it may be a perfect match for someone looking for basic functionality and usage of standard apps.
[Legend Themes and Apps] sulehri:
Hi

I just purchased a legend having stock 2.2 Sense on it (Vodafone). When I try to goto SPB Shell Home, it shows that SPB Shell is loading, but then nothing happens

Any suggestions?
[Legend Themes and Apps] MaBlo:
Yes I'm talking about the black screen issue. I agree with you, it's not worth changing roms over. I actually use Blayos Rom regularly, just happened to test it with CM. So its not a big deal for me. I also think the lack of customization is a bummer, but I'm happy with it for now. In a month I don't know. Also for me 15 dollars ain't that much, that's barely one dinner in Norway :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] bigsapz:
Agreed. It was cool for a day then I missed ADW.

Sent from my Ultimate 2.3.3 Incredible
[Legend Themes and Apps] laurent.siku:
I have HTC Legend with Blayo's B0.8 and I installed SPB but then when I hit home button it asks wich launcher to use, I select SPB and then it asks if I want to activate, I click "yes" but the get error: The device is not supported.

What should I do? I don't think it not supported since you guys managed to run it on your Legends. :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] sulehri:
I was not able to use it either on my Legend with stock ROmM :mad:
[Legend Themes and Apps] Rapier:
Neither for me :) I said "much" compared with the price for other launchers (and which are also better in my opinion)
[Legend Themes and Apps] MaBlo:
To be honest I'm not using it anymore, got tired of it fast :)

On a side note, do anyone else find Launcher Pro laggy with CM7? I switched to ADW EX, and it's much smoother.
[Thunderbolt General] rotorocker:
Hey all,

So I have about 4 dolphin hd bookmark shortcuts on my homescreen. Randomly they will lose their red/star logo and all get the stock droid icon (same as the market icon). The links still work but I've tried throwing them in the trash and replacing them which works for awhile but a couple days later they lose their icon again. It's just annoying, I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue and if they found a fix.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] rotorocker:
ugh its happening more then once a day now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TonyJones:
Hiya guys,

I'm sorry that, like most other threads of this nature, my first post is a "HELP ME!" type affair.

Having issues with my HTC Vodafone Magic, when I turn it on it goes onto the Vodafone splash screen and no further.

Before I start asking about installing a new ROM and all that stuff (of which I have no clue whatsoever), I found this in the FAQ sticky and was wondering if it applies to me:

If I hold down the volume key and press the power button it goes into a white screen with what I'm assuming is the ROM data:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPH10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Apr 9 2009,23:30:40

Is there any hope for fixing my phone?

Thanks for looking at this thread.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
yes there is... you should be in a good shape...

What have you done to get to this state?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TonyJones:
I'm unsure what you mean?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
What have you done to get into this state...

E.g.

Did change anything in the rom?

Did you flash a sappimg.zip?

Did you just wake up and the device was like that?

Did your dog mess up your device while you were sleeping?

What did you do to get into this state?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TonyJones:
My bad.

I bought the phone second hand, bloke said he'd tried updating the software but it hadn't worked.

My phone was working fine the other day, and mid-conversation on a phone call it turned itself off. Tried turning it back on but it just goes to the Vodafone splashscreen and no further.

Tried doing a hard reset, but the phone looks for some .zip files and says "no image found!" for every folder it looks through.

There was an App on the phone called Clockwork, which is something to do with ROM changing.

Cheers for your help so far!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You need to get fastboot up and running so that we can grab some information off the phone, but like mumi said, its fixable. Get fastboot installed (a search will aid you there) and myself or mumi will post back with what to do next. Hope your familiar with navigating DOS as your about to get a crash course if not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] edward0119:
you can fix it through fastboot.

try to flash recovery into your g2 first
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TonyJones:
Hiys guys, sorry for taking so long to get back.

Work has been hectic so unable to sort anything out, ended getting a Desire HD on contract in the end.

Will be keeping the Magic to play and learn with, but for the forseeable future I'm swamped with work, so I will get back on here and sort the thing out when I can.

Thanks for your help so far guys, I will return! DOS will be a new experience for me :D

[Galaxy Tab General] scoperz0r:
I flashed to the latest Overcome Kernel + Rom (2.1.2 and 1.4.2 respectively), after running fine on 1.4.0 for several days. I choose not to backup my apps as I don't have many and I wanted a clean start.

However, after doing wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, then davik wipe (not sure of the spelling), then proceeding to install the 1.4.0 ROM then 1.4.2 update, my apps were still on my Tab when I rebooted.

Why is this?

Now I am getting errors with every app.

"The application xxx (process com. ) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

I have tried to factory reset and reinstall the ROM multiple times, but it doesn't seem to help. How can I get rid of everything and start from scratch with this ROM?
[Galaxy Tab General] student.driver:
I had the exact same issue with my T-Mobile US Tab, and it wound up needing repair from Samsung. I sent it in, and they replaced a component on the board. When I got it back, it was back to the factory fresh load which is what I expected when I tried to wipe it to begin with. The process took almost 3 weeks, which includes the free *ground* shipping to and from the Samsung repair center in Plano, TX. Awesome.
