[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Let me chime in here for a minute. I'm disappointed in this as well. What upset me was the fact that SamsungJohn was wanting to build an ongoing "partnership" with the people at XDA. To the best of my knowledge he is no longer around and there is no explanation as to whats going on.

I feel your frustration as I was made promises that never happened. I had received a PM from SamsungJohn asking for my contact information. I never expected to actually hear from him but I did. I was basically told that Samsung wants to help foster the development we are doing here and would like to help in any way they could. I'm sure I'm not the only one he contacted as they were reaching out to the developers in general. I was asked not to discuss the contents of the conversation so I won't. I was told that I could express Samsungs desire to make things right. I was told that if I needed anything to let him know and he would do what he could to get us what we needed in order to keep the development moving forward. I was aloud to say that much. He was supposed to contact me again to possibly set something Autism related up. I never heard back from him. I have made a few attempts to contact him and have not received anything in return.

When I spoke with him he seemed like a really nice guy and I think he really did want to help. I don't think any of this is his fault. I think the powers that be just decided to go in a different direction. I don't know anything other than what I heard directly from him. I never got the sense that he was stringing us along and I know for a fact that he was reading my blog.

My opinion is that things for whatever reason just didn't work out. I don't blame him for that it was probably completely out of his control. It would be nice to hear from someone in the "know" as to the status of the situation. I think it could have been handled better and with more transparency but it is was it is. I don't think anyone is to blame least of all SamsungJohn himself. I still hope to hear from him as I would love to partner with Samsung on some Autism related things.

I do believe that he was being straight up with us and at the end of the day things were out of his control and he has a job to do.

Hope this helps.

I disagree. The economy, overall, is up from this time last year. But Samsung's profits are down 4% QOQ and 42% YOY. Apple is up, Motorola up, HTC up... Tech everywhere is up.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
im with zerloq on this one. did anyone see htc's q1 profit? they tripled it from the previous. you cant blame the economy for sammy but htc have record profits.

[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Hey John, if you read this just tell Samsung not to lock down their software and I'm sure you'll have a lot of repeat customers. You can also throw in that their devs aren't worth a damn and may want to consider outsourcing some of their work to a lot of the guys on these boards.
[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
Personally I am not only disappointed and frustrated with both SamsungJohn and Samsung, but I feel used. He asked us as a community to help by creating list of issues and concerns. Many of us created very well thought out, detailed lists that included tremendous amounts of information including methods of recreating the issues. In exchange for our help they made vague promises of helping our community. SamsungJohn & Samsung took our hard work and information and promptly ignored us. I feel used.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
well... at least you know now. I didnt really know what to think of it, but was hopeful. Oh well... corporations arent human... never will be.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avenger79:
Im runnig my DHD in fastboot which seems alot better and quicker than the normal boot, apart from not seeing my custom splash could someone please explain if there is any downside to having fastboot enabled?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
No downside really. Having fastboot enabled allows the phone to enter an ultra low battery state. The phone doesn't turn off in this mode. The battery will drain slightly in this mode but not noticeably.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Pretty much what nobnut said, with fastboot enabled its like putting your computer into standby/hibernation.

I left mine off for just over a week, back in November, and when I turned it on again the battery had gone down by about 30~40%.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avenger79:
Great thanks for the info guys looks like fastboot is the way ahead :)
[Adam General] FALLINGLEGACY:
Whilst looking at a screen replacement for the Adam's screen someone found a viable replacement, but can't get it to work.

Now it's very probable that the drivers must be updated and maybe the resolution should be adjusted somewhere.

Does anyone have an idea what files should be adjusted to get this to work ?

Would be awesome to get better viewing angles on the Adam..

That would be nice ... how about screen from samsung the superomeled...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleinx:
Hi! I am also the proud owner of the Samsung Nexus S :-) Before I had a G1 with Ginger Bread.

How does function the Nexus S and new (faster) kernel, Ram hacks and more speed with new roms?

Now I have already browsed and read almost exclusively about Voodoo ROM & James Bond kernel? ;)

Really, the Nexus definitely more power than the stock with the james bond kernel & voodoo rom?

How to start? Is it the same like the G1?

1. Roots (fastboot unlock)

2. Recovery (which one? the clock work?)

3. new ota and spl? (which is best or stock?)

4. ROM (which would be the fastest + What kernel? the james bond sounds so promising bln with?)

5. have fun? :D

how about "wipe"? the same?

many thanks! :) and sorry for the bad english: (

This belongs in Q&A, not Development.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleinx:
Hi,

oh sorry - of course you have right.

can any mod/admin this move?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dario3040:
Well, coming from a G1 i can understand you have many questions about spl, and recoveries.

But here there is really just to fastboot oemunlock, install Clockwork recovery, and start flashing.

I would recommend you flash MIUI or Cyanogen Mod, and install the latest Honity kernel (with BLN and overclock).

There is currently limited development on the Nexus S, so there aren't many choices yet.

But there is no need for unlocked bootloaders or any of that stuff.

This is developer phone without limitations.

thank you very much! :)

I have te lastest miui and tytng r9 kernel but the reception is horrible i now cause my bro's nokia 5800 finds a lot wifi hotspots that my hd2 cant find so wich kernel has the best reception?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] metko:
anyone???????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
provide more info. did you set your hd2 to show all wifi hotspots or maybe just the ones which dont require authentication? do you use some type of software which shows you all available hotspots? we cant read minds :/

for me the tytungs kernel are the best in every aspect.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] metko:
i had tytng 8.3 i thnik and that had the best reception and i flashed then to r9 and from there my phone's wifi doesnt work very well,reverted back to 8.3 but now it is still the same and i use stock android wifi "sercher" duno how is it called and i didnt touch any options in MIUI :)

so?????????

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
Check if there are the same files in both tytung packages, maybe r9 left something in the system or mybe your issue might be Rom related..

Btw, i use tytungs 8.3 and i dont plan to change it. Since i installed this kernel i am really happy. Battery is lasting almost forever ;) its still on 70-75% after 12 hours of moderate usage, this is really great for me.

with 8.3 it was great but now i reverted back to 8.3 but still nothing :(

Under "Accounts & Sync settings", I clicked on the "Add account" button and entered my email address and password correctly.

When I click on "Next", there's this "Retrieving account information" screen and the "Server settings" page comes out where I have to enter my Domain\Username, password and server.

Domain\username:

When I clicked on the "next" button, I got an error window saying that "Setup could not finish | Unable to open connection to server".

What should the settings be? I tried to google for the settings but I must have used the wrong keywords because I couldn't find anything...

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cartman311:
Sorry for the newbie question but I have searched all over the internet and can't find a solution. I am running superclean 2.9.2 novoodo odin package from android central with jt's CWM all and i am tring to load imnuts 50mv or 100mv UV nonvoodo kernel. I load the zip files through red CWM and when i reboot i'm stuck on the samsung logo then it reboots. It continued to do this for 30 minutes before i pulled the battery and reloaded the superclean 2.9.2 odin files then i loaded jt's CWM all. The phone is now operational but i can not load any kernels through CWM. Is it possible these UV kernels are not compatible with superclaen or am doing something wrong? This is the first time i have tried to laod a zip file through CWM so I may be missing something. Thanks for the help in advance.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMissLayups:
I tried loading imnuts SV nonvoodoo and voodoo kernels and got stuck at the Samsung logo as well. Times_Infinity's worked for me though. But BLN doesn't actually blink anymore, using Blinky.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cartman311:
Thanks for the response. Are you using the nonvoodo kerenl? If so have you noticed any improvement in battery life and are there any down side of using the kernel?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDDD:
I too could not get any of the non-Voodoo kernels to boot past the Samsung logo, but the 100 Voodoo did just fine. If you don't want to use Voodoo (which I didn't either), just go into the Voodoo menu IMMEDIATELY after installing the kernel (as in don't reboot - when the CWM menu returns, go into the Voodoo menu) and disable the lagfix. Nothing will be converted and you'll essentially be on a non-Voodoo kernel.

So far, battery life hasn't been stellar, but I've only been on that kernel for a day, and spent a decent amount of time on the phone, connected through Bluetooth to my car, so that was probably a fairly significant drain on the battery.

hi all

i want to modify a firmware but it is not released yet on samfirmware.com

i wrote on samfirmware twitter's page with no use...they didn't even say we are working on it

so what i want is to save the firmware files from kies during the update

how this could be done???

thanks in advance
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Which Windows you use?

On XP you can see during Download 1 file... in Temp folder:

tmpAD.tmp something like that

If Kies is ready with Download, then it decrypt/decompress this file into:

tmpAD.tmp.zipfolder

Now, if you see on your Wave this Picture with handset... then you can copy files from Tempfolder.

About Win 7 I read this:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\

Best Regards

thanks adfree

another thing i can't make the update as i have a modified fw

how to change that

i played with the registry thing and kies finds the update but just after starting it kies say this device can't be updated

hello adfree

i managed to save the .tmp file only

how do i extract it

I contacted samfirmware but i didnt get any help

i googled and found nothing

my kies has suddenly stopped workin it just shows not respoding

reinstaling doesnt fix it , im on win 7 by the way

and i havnt been able to update firmware with kies so far becos something or the other would happen

my only hope is extracting that tmp file

please help
[Bada Software and Hacking General] littlepr:
Copy .tmp file to desktop without closing kies. Then rename to .zip. You will then have access to all files inside update file.

Hope this helps.

i want to change it to XSG

i flashed origianl JPJG2 which is full firmware to change the product code but with no use

i am on win 7 64-bit so qualcom drivers doesnot work for me

can anyone get for me the 64-bit version???

thanks in advance
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Raitis:
After you flashed original firmware you must also reinstall pre-configutation to change product code.

If in preconfiguration already are XSG, change it some other and then back to XSG.

To reinstall preconfig

i read your way of changing product using PSAS but i couldn't do it as the drivers doesn't work for win 7 64-bit

Hi everyone.

Im trying to see if anyone can give any suggestions in regards to getting playlists to work properly on my phone. Let me define what I mean by properly.

Right now I can create a playlists in a number of applications on my computer including DoubleTwist, Windows Media Player, and Motorola Media Link. When I transfer those playlists to my phone they show up and play in both the default music player and DoubleTwist. The problem I keep running into is when I try to play a playlist using a voice command a message comes up saying "The Selected playlist is empty" but it really is not. I can go into a music player and play it right away.

The only way I am able to get a playlist to play with a voice command is if I actually create that playlist on the phone while in the default music player. Its somewhat tedious to do that so I would like to be able to make the playlists on my computer then sync them to the phone.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Im not even against using a different voice command app if it will let me play playlists via voice command. This is just an important feature for me when I have my phone docked on the car dock.

I greatly appreciate any help.

I'm going to buy wave II today, why? that's because it has the same hardware as galaxy s and it's 200 CHF (stronger then USD) cheaper than galaxy s and now that the android 2.2 alpha is here, i have no reason not to buy this. I would like some quick suggestions about this device...i mean...i would want to have a moderate gaming on this device + video calling on yahoo/skype...so tell me if there are good games for bada and what's the future of this phone (android stable with dual boot?)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] 433Mhz:
Dito. Got mine today and don't know whether to keep it or sell it. But where did you find an Android alpha?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] shad0wboss:
It's an incomplete version and i don't think it's available to everyone:

The project to port Android

Froyo 2.2 on Wave

Looking forward to more suggestions

Forget about Androbada. Nothing has been released, they only ***** about everything and I think they stopped working. Looks like a fake to me.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
Dont buy a bada device! you will be disapppinted. there is no skype or anyother voip app. if you say you want to buy it because of hardware , then i will say a hardware is useless unless it has a good software. in the same range you could buy other android device like galaxy ace. Bada app store is filled with bul**** applications. there are 13000 apps and games in market but only 10 or 20 usefull applications.13000 figure is achived because a lots of theme are in app store. due to this huge no of theme searching for a particular app is troublesome.The no. of free app available in market is not good and none of them are of any use. Web browsing experience is very poor. web browser is crap. address bar hides the top portion of page and you cant click a single link situated on top of the web page. No flash 10.1 support. And many more more disadvantages. if i try to write them all the whole page will be filled.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] shad0wboss:
Thanks for the comment, it really helped me changing my mind lol.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
just a clarification ;)...there aren't 13'000 apps for Bada on the market, there are 13'000 apps on Samsung Apps for any platform (Bada, Android, JavaME, Windows Mobile..), the number of bada apps is nearly less than 3'000 + more than approximately 1'500 themes :(

(I think this discussion was opened in the wrong section...)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] shad0wboss:
so buying wave II wouldn't be a good idea? problem is the store where i returned my phone are not paying back the money and they want me to buy a phone off their shop and they have no decent android phones (no galaxy ace..) so my only choices are:

-Wave II

-Xperia X10 mini

-sony ericsson vivaz u5i

-LG optimus one

and the phone with the best hardware is wave II...so idk what to buy
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
@guari: thanx for correcting me! i realised my mistake but could not correct it due to some problems in my net connection.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
better search on www.gsmarena.com to know specs of every phone on your list. compare every ones spec before buying.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
ehh is difficult to choose between those four, but all have the same price? in this case probably the waveII would be the best choice...2th the optimus one, is a good device with froyo, but it has a lower-end hardware, regardless of the operating system, you'll feel the difference with the wave (small, low quality and low resolution display, worst camera, especially for video, really poor gpu, no front camera for videocall...)

You said you'll use it for gaming and skype, if you don't want it now (especially skype will be availabe in future), waveII it's good for you ;)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] z|-|ero:
Bada is new so it has disadvantages but to say that it sucks...No.

For what can you use your phone? To make a call? that works...

To write a message on a forum? that works also...

To use as gps? that works... (bought a life time license for route66)

To play a game while I'm on the toilet? that works also... ;)

btw bada 2.0 is coming
