[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat_For_Sale:
Hey xda,

I have read through a number of the 'Should I get this phone' threads that have been around. I think part of what is happening is people know the phone is good but wonder what makes it stand out from the crowd ( apart from hardware )

I do find myself looking to get this phone, well i pretty much AM getting the phone. My work wants to buy out my HTC Desire and i have it worked out that I will just trade them my desire for a SNS.

I love my desire, i really enjoy its compact size while keeping the power and resolution of ...well what is now a midrange phone.

What I would like to hear from SNS owners is what YOUR favorite feature, trick, option, theme, whatever it may be that you really enjoy about your samsung nexus s

this is your chance to just shout out all your favorite stuff lets hear it !!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
1. I like the weight and feel.

2. Display (SAMOLED) looks fantastic.

3. It's fast and unmolested.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrbalders:
I with all the way, main one for me is as you say unmolested !! And one more thing mine has a quite decent battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
1. Easy to unlock bootloader / root

2. Pure Google Device. Probably one of the first devices to get Ice Cream.

3. Phone is all black and looks amazing + Super AMOLED
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Not in a particular order.

1. How it looks. If it didn't say 'Google' at the back, I would think it was made by aliens.

2. The screen, and in particular: the fact that it's visible in direct sunlight. I have SC-LCD, but of course Super AMOLED is just as good.

3. Pure Android. This doesn't only mean fast updates, but it also makes it easier to customize/theme (custom roms, kernels, etc).
[Legend General] el-Loko:
hi guys (espacially FeaRThiS),

i followed the guide for downgrading/rooting the legend. goldcard is on and it is rooted (when i start adb shell i get "#" without su). but after copying testimage.zip and renaming it to LEGEIMG.zip, i get after rebooting the message "can not roll back hboot version".

at this point:

hboot 1.01.0000

firmware 2.1

software 1.31.405.4

i did the whole procedure once before but the rom-manager (clockwordmod) did nothing, no sd-card partioning, no rom-installation...

anyone with the same problem? any solution?

thx...

[Legend General] qzem:
For now nobody has found a way to downgrade HBOOT version 1.01. So this is impossible at the moment.
[Legend General] el-Loko:
first: thanks fo the replys.

@amoskas

i followed exactly that guide. after "adb reboot bootloader" and flashing with the LEGEIMG.zip, clockworkmod does nothing. whatever i click, install rom from sd, download rom, partitionind sd... absolutly nothing. cwm-recovery was installed. but when i start recovery from boot-menu i only get the blue recovery-menu 2e.

@qzem

maybe youre right!
[Legend General] BlaY0:
CWM doesn't suppose to do anything here. LEGEIMG.zip is RUU zip which has nothing to do with CWM, it is to be recognized and picked directly by bootloader. If it isn't, I guess your problem is that bootloader doesn't see it on your SD card. There are two, possible reasons why... one is your SD card isn't detected by bootloader and two, your SD card isn't formatted as FAT32.

[Legend General] el-Loko:
hi BlaY0,

is it possible to check even the bootloader is detecting my sd-card?

i formated the sd with my phone and checked it with my computer now: it is fat32

thx...

edit: LEGEIMG.zip was picked. after loading and checking, while updating it said "can not roll back hboot version". the rest were updatet.

question: what kind of sd-card are supported?
[Legend General] el-Loko:
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will write a little guide soon....
[Legend General] rumaxi:
Got the same error during update with this manual. Waiting for you solution.
[Legend General] bx19:
i didnt understand what u have did and what ur error is.

but i can say onething confidentially, which is

IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN UNROOTED PHONE TO DOWNGRADE ITS HBOOT.

i mean to say is by keeping a downgraded version of LEGEIMG.ZIP and flashing HBOOT from that wont be possible. correct me if im wrong
[Legend General] rumaxi:
At this moment I've got firmware ver 2.1 build 1.31.405.4, flashed from testimage.zip (renamed to LEGEIMG.zip) of r4-legend-root, non working ROM Manager (doesn't reboot/backup), saying that CWM Recovery 2.5.0.7 installed (but it seems to be inaccessable) and HBOOT 1.01, with "can not roll back" error. Phone seems to be rooted, adb shell get # shell.

What should I do further ?
[Legend General] rumaxi:
Fixed a bit and executed step2 from r4-legend-root, flashed CM from SD.

Thanks.
[Legend General] qzem:
You did what exactly?
[Legend General] el-Loko:
MySpace legend Euthanasie hboot 1.01 US running cm7stable now.

Instead of using ROM Manager, which didnt work, i just renamed the cm7.zip to update.zip, started the recovery and flashed it.

I just bought this keyboard today.. Stupid me.. I didn't do my due diligence before hand. I've read on quite a few forums about the keys sticking and typing the same letter for a half a minute. I've had the same problem tonight since I bought the keyboard. It has happened 3 or 4 times already. My question is should I take this back or am I going to get the same result with any btooth keyboard? This keyboard was kind of overpriced anyway. I can get a microsoft one on amazon for $20 cheaper. Anyone getting the keystick problem with a different brand?

[General Questions and Answers] Hashem Alrifai:
Hi,

I've a very serious problem with my HTC Touch Diamond that made me very sad!

As you know, the Diamond does NOT have an external memory card slot.

While I was upgrading my rom, the update progress reached the very end, but at that point it stops! I've waited for the progress hours! with no results!

And now: There is NO ROM INSTALLED, there is NO CARD SLOT TO CHANGE. And when I plug the USB cable in the "Trigger usb host", nothing happens except some error messages that say: "Retry Enter USB".

unfortunately, I think my USB plug is disabled, and I feel that all the doors are close!

Any one help?

You want to

implement OnClickListener

add method

then you want to add

surfaceView.setOnClickListener(this);

When surface is clicked onClick is called
[Android Software Development] imso:
By any chance could you explain how should i implement the above said functions into my codes because like implement onclicklistener and this and that i don't quite understand where should i place these above codes??

And how should this above function handle my startService and stopService intents? Will the surfaceview also the show the same invisible button effects seen in youtube too when being clicked? Could you guide me in this in much more details, sorry if i'm kinna stupid to understand your explanations... :confused:
[Android Software Development] subasteve:
Ok

CameraTest.java

Add

public void onClick(View v){

}

Replace

public class CameraTest extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {

with

public class CameraTest extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback, OnClickListener {

After

surfaceView = (SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surface_camera);

Add

surfaceView.setOnClickListener(this);

Your intent function calls the CameraTest.surfaceView so everything will work with whatever code you put in the onClick function.

Need better explanation on what you are asking.

The last part is probably like how when you tap a YouTube video on the video itself it kinda flashes the play or pause button over the video.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Android Software Development] imso:
Which of these should i import?

import android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

Should i put startService and stopService intent together, but it seems not appropriate as both statement seems to conflict each other when i click to start/stop my service? Or i need add some sort of if.. else logic statement to differentiate the start/stop service alternating when being clicked?

public void onClick(View v){
startService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ServiceRecording.class));
startService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ServiceRecording.class));
}

Yes that was what i meant for the last part of my question the sort of effect it will display when being clicked, sorry if i could not explain well which might cause you some confusion.. :) Thanks for your help :D
[Android Software Development] imso:
Or should i be implementing some sort of imagebutton to emulate the above effect i mention or is there some other way to do it? :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] tom13mcpherson:
Is it just me or is searching using the android market really lame?

I get so many results that are just irrelevant.

I can put in the exact name of the app and it doesn't come up first. Or second or third for that matter.

Whatever search engine is going on behind the front end is not working for me.

Does this mean I need to get some search tips or just use the desktop version instead of the mobile phone version? I can put in "quote marks" if I know the exact name but sometimes I want something slightly broader but without the other random stuff that turns up.

Is there some refine results thing that I'm not seeing? I really don't want to have to use an app to search for apps in the market to search for apps.

I'm not having a go at the developers and I have a lot of respect for them because there are a lot of really good things that work. I just want to improve my experience of market.

Let me know what you think.

Hi im a university student Im looking for a Android Tablet but I havent found one that fits me... Maybe you can help me find one.

This are the specs I got in mind from what I had searched:

At least 512 mb ram

CAPACITIVE 10" screen 9.7 10.1 all of this are ok..

Possibly Tegra 2 tablet

THE MOST IMPORTANT HDMI Output.

3.5 mm out , microsd ,

I sold my iPad to buy an android tablet.

Please help me find a android tablet.;)

Only thing available in the $350 price range now would be the Galaxy Tab Wifi only version. Released only today.

However, it is a 7inch and not dual core, but does have a nice 1ghz processor on it. Check it out on Amazon. For $350 it is the best you will find.

XDA is not tech support and while members can be very helpful you should not expect answers from anyone.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
like krook said, be patient.

coming to ur problem, i feel its very simple.

disk drive is an option which needs no extra software to be installed on ur pc. due to this i strongly believe that the problem is with ur pc and not with ur phone. possibilities are ur usb ports might have errors, or ur pc has been infected with viruses.

u said that the problem reported after u have partitioned ur mem card with rom manager. well, there is a possibility for this. ext3 partitions are not recognised by windows operating system. so if u have made the entire memory card as ext3 partition, then this is the issue with u. reformat the memory card. i hope u know about this and havent made a complete ext3 partition.

APPROACHING THE PROBLEM:

-just connect the phone to another pc as disk drive mode. if the problem persists, then it may be the problem of usb cable, or partitioning ext3. and if disk drive is connected with another pc, then the problem may be usb ports of ur pc not working, ur pc affected with virusses.

install a fresh HTC USB DRIVER by downloading it from the official website.

try other options like USB TETHERING, USB DEBUGGING (charge only).

try usb debugging with an application called PDANET. and using pdanet, if u can use ur phone internet to pc, the problem is with htc driver.

i hope i have given the information more than enough for ur problem. let me know what is the issue.

HID bluetooth profile for fascinate???

So I just happened to have a similar issue. I really wouldn't have opened the wound but this was last hit on about 8 months ago. Now my fascinate has the gingerbread update... the 2.3.5 update if you will. As anticipation has failed us, they did , again, fail to include a bluetooth profile that supports HID devices.

I have read about CM's mod cm7.1 supporting this profile, but my situation is a little bit more unique.

I just purchased the Brookstone roll up keyboard (bluetooth) and can recognize it but obviously won't pair or connect. I have tried a number of apps that claim to give you smoother function and better bluetooth support, but as with any good app, Google has stripped it of it's gems.

as mentioned I have only read briefly that cm7.1 is a rom able to make this happen.

My question now is, after 8 months, has anyone found a solution to the HID bluetooth profile issue, and if it requires rooting, how do you do this ... using ubuntu...

... be gentle (I just watched the noob video)

[General Questions and Answers] HawkStream:
So we all remember when dual core CPUs for computers first became mainstream back in about 2004… Everyone had to have one but almost no software was written to use them. So it was almost all bragging rights and no real world performance. Then 1 to 2 years later when software did come out that could take advantage of multiple cores those first dual cores CPUs were obsolete and a joke.

Will the same thing be true with dual core phones or will they be useful right away? Can Android currently utilize dual cores?

And this is not a guy with a single core phone trying to feel better about it. I have an old droid 1 and am ready to buy a new phone now; I am all but set to wait for the Bionic but I'm questioning if the dual core will really mean that much when it’s out.
