Almost there. All of the ril and system patches were merged today. We're still sorting out the rootfs; it's loaded with cruft from old releases that we don't need any more.

Hi Entropy

Has this progressed at all. Are we to see in Froyo 6 or 7...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] helicopter88:
FRX06 has been out since march 25

FRX07 is being worked on and no one knows when it will be out..

Yes, I know that bit, but the VPN (as per this thread) does not work.......

Unless you want to manually insert the components highlandsun was talking about (RIL, etc) then just wait for 07.

Thanks M8.... shall wait

I am still unable to run the PPTP VPN even on F7 and F7.1. I know the VPN works as I use it on Ubuntu 10.11 and 11.04 laptops.

The amount of settings available on Windows and Ubuntu is far greater too.

I'm on ec10 pnp voodoo with green steel theme. I have noticed that I am missing calls with no notification. I get a voicemail notice without ever getting a phone call. Is anyone else getting this? Do I need to re flash ec10?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bigjr99:
I have the same set-up and don't have any issues. What version of the voodoo are you running? I have jts

3_27 ulv kernel, off the top of my head I believe it was from fascinate but generic enough to use on mesmerize. it seems random though. I've got two bars and 3g coverage. I would love to try the miui alpha but need mms
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
I had that same issue when I was running that kernel, although I only used that kernel for a couple of days. On three seperate occasions I would look down and see that I had a voicemail but nothing to indicate that I had missed a call. Could just be a coincidence but I thought I would throw it out there.

This is a known issue with the showcase. Mesmerize users might be encountering the same problem.

[Samsung Mesmerize] GStone:
I think its pretty common all around on the showcase. I have a close friend who has a high call volume and he has 5-10 calls a day (that he knows of from voice mails) that never ring his phone. Have flashed multiple roms, had voicemail pickup time extended, tried several reboots a day. Nothing seems to help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitron:
I sometimes have an issue where my phone loses data connectivity in places where I know that I have service. I can get it to refresh and reconnect to the data signal by going into and out of airplane mode, but that's kind of a pain. I've tried opening my browser and repeatedly refreshing google, but that doesn't seem to work as regularly as my airplane mode method.

Is there any way to force the g2 to search for a data signal once it has lost it? Does this ever happen to anyone else?

running CM 6.1.1

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoneThread:
Three UK have just rolled out HSPA+ and I read that the Desire HD supports this (According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(processor) under MSM8255 in the chart)

Google-ing HTC Desire HD HSPA+ brings up loads of announcements that the phone has HSPA+ as well.

So the Chipset supports HSPA+?, but is it enabled in the Radio?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
Mine works just fantastic with HSPDA, blazing fast net!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
Yes the DHD supports HSPA+. But don't forget that HSPA+ isn't the same as LTE or WIMAX. Here in austria i get about 3-5mbit down and 1-2mbit up with hspa+(or hsdpa? Idk exactly, but i'm also on three) depending on day and time
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoneThread:
People, please do not confuse HSPA+ with HSDPA. HSPA+ is a new faster form of HSDPA which the Desire HD apparently supports (According to Wikipedia and Qualcomm)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
It does indeed support HSPA+, we have those networks here in Finland. My record speed is 10.1 down and 1.62 up :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiral.v:
Yes Desire HD supports HSPA+. Really no big deal though, the difference is HSPA+ supports up to 14.4Mbps download whereas normal HSDPA supports 7.2Mbps download. I've never hit above 5Mbps download. Still nice to know though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoneThread:
I'm not sure that the Desire HD supports HSPA+. The following has happened recently.

A month ago I was getting 6Mbps 24/7 on my DHD

Now I'm barly getting 2Mbps most of the time. (This started about 3-5 days after 2.3.3 Update BTW!)

Now I've managed to borrow a nice HSPA+ Dongle (HUAWEI E353) and it gives me 9.8Mbps (1.3Megabyte/second!!!!!!)

In my testing both devices where in the same physical location (Not at the same time obviously! And yes both on Three)

I am not happy at all. My Desire HD was giving me 800KB/s and now I can't even get 250KB/s. Yet at the same time I know its not the network as the dongle performs so fast that I can't even believe its wireless broadband!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellerophon90:
Well, according to Telus, the Desire HD runs on their "4G" network, which is HSPA+.

[Android] Chaosz-X:
Since I have my HTC Desire, I wanted to build a custom ROM, and read a lot about it.

Everything is pretty clear to me, except that I'm not sure about the drivers. I read the wiki of CyanogenMod, which tells you to use a script called 'extract-files.sh' to extract appropriate files from your CyanogenMod ROM on your HTC Desire.

Does this script take care of the driver integration? And if not, how can I integrate the drivers to make the hardware work?

Thanks in advance,

Chaosz-X.
[Android] gnarlyc:
The 'extract-files.sh' and 'unzip-files.sh' scripts just copy any needed proprietary files (not necessarily just drivers) from a connected phone or existing ROM to their correct locations before you compile the new ROM. Someone (you?) have to figure out which files are needed and adjust the scripts accordingly. Each device has a different 'extract-files.sh' and 'unzip-files.sh'.

If there is an existing vendor tree for your device or a similar device, I would start there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cpoh:
Hi there,

is just installed "AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7" on my HTC HD2 and must say, it's running like a charm.

There ist ONE Problem thus far, that is concerning me:

Today (my 2nd day with this release) i just cannot edit my homescreens anymore.

It worked as supposed till today.

I cannot place new widgets on the screen nor replace, delete them or anyting.

I even cannot delete the complete screen (out of the 5 in existence).

If i place my finger in an empty spot, phone gives haptic feedback after a short while, nothing happens. Same when i hold any already placed widget/link.

Evertihn else is working fine (swiping screens, starting things).

any idea?

Thanks, cpo

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] itoig:
i tested out Act 1 video player on my evo, it ran fine. so i bought it to use on the g tablet when it finally came in. so i tried out a few roms and decided on tnt lite 4.4. i loaded up act 1 from the market and ripped a dvd to mp4 and played it. the volume starts at 100% and then gets quieter, so i hit the volume up key, and it goes down to 29% and that is the highest it will get. i first ripped it using dvdfab with the iphone/ipod h.264 settings, set the sound to stereo. i also tried using handbrake with the ipod touch settings with video at 800kbps and audio at 80. both give the same result (though the handbrake rip plays better on the g tablet) with the volume maxing out at 29%.

i emailed the developer of it and he said he hadn't heard anyone else with the issue. so i just wonder, am i doing something wrong?

i also tried making sure the volume was at max before starting the app, but it does the same thing. it also does it on every other rom i have tried, vegan 5.1.1, asop vanilla, g harmony, vegan experamental, and tnt lite. i tried other memory cards and the one usb drive i was able to get working on it.

i really like the playlist shortcut feature for my son to watch movies while on a long car ride without any interaction to start a new one.

_______________________________edit___________________________________

turns out there is something else causing this low volume, i tried mobo video player and it does the same thing as act 1. not sure what is going on.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dictionary:
Try using Rock Player Lite for the time being. I'd had the same issue .. and Rock Player works for me. Guessing the other two need an update.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] fireseal3:
Yeah I have the same problem also, if you turn the volume up all the way on the tablet, than load the video the volume stays at max. However if you attempt to use volume control in any way the app either crashes or drops to 29% than ultimately to 0%.

Movies display great though haha.
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
Alright, something that's plagued a *ton* of Android phones in the past and effects this one as well is the loss of 3G connectivity after disconnecting from WiFi, disconnecting from a VPN, or coming out of an area with no cell service after having been in it for awhile. Some people say putting it into Airplane mode and taking it back out fixes it...but I've never had that work for me. Something just as simple though makes it work every time.

Go to your APN menu (Settings, Wireless, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names) and just switch to a different APN. You should be on AT&T US HSDPA right now (there are reasons it's better than wap.cingular), so switch to the top one (AT&T US - the wap.cingular one), wait until it connects (you'll see the arrows pop up on your notification bar under the H+), then just change back to AT&T US HSDPA. It'll connect perfectly and you're good to go!

It sucks that the phone *has* this problem, but since it's affected *many* Android phones in the past I'm not really surprised. Either way, hope it works for everybody.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenaut:
I realize that the answer to the following question depends on what the user prefers, but out of curiosity; what are your opinions about using a case with this phone and not using a case?

I initially got the gel case because I thought the lightness would cause the phone to fall out of my hand. Now I don't think its such an issue. I am still uncomfortable with the lack of texture on the battery door, and the gel case cures that but I hate the way the case sits on the screen. That stupid lip is constantly in my way.

I don't know what my point is, I guess im looking for an alternative to the gel case. Something that is not so profound against the screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
case mate barely there case, not quite as much protection as a full case but its enough and still lets the phone easily slip into my pocket
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
+1

I still tinker with my buddies Vibrant some and he doesn't use a case and I can't stand it. Mine always had the gel case from T-Mobile on it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenaut:
Ill look into the casemate. What I really want is a battery door that has some texture to it. The epic is a perfect example, the back is rubberized and just feels nice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hippotek:
I would NEVER use a case or screen protector... WHY would I want to put the gorgeous phone into an ugly useless shell?!?

I have a real leather battery covered door for extra grip and that is perfect!

I keep the phone inside an Oakley goggles pouch, for cleaning and protection... but not all the time.

It's an everyday object meant to be used, If it does not hold up to the rigours of day to day use it is crap...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenaut:
Where did you get your leather battery door. That is the direction I want to move toward. The gel case I have annoys me. I've seen some stuff on ebay for the I9000 but I don't feel comfortable buying from some faceless person on the other side of the globe.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
if you really want just a rubberized battery door swing by your local hardware store and pick up some rubberizing spray, it wont look the greatest, but you can get it in a variety of colors and is relatively easy to remove, i use it to rubberize some of my tools as the grips wear out.

The title pretty much says it all. After a few failed interactions with SamsungJohn; by failed I mean asking legitimate questions and receiving no real answers. Being left with the feeling of corporate glad-handing. I am wondering if anyone has received useful information from him.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
He did his job which is pr related. He came here to calm the storm that was brewing with xda members attacking the social networks for lack of support which boils down to he did nothing for us. A few brief conversations we had I don't think he knew much about development
[Epic 4G General] Vertig0:
It's too late for Samsung... they will lose a huge amount of customers in the upcoming months...
[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
Did you see their Q1 results? It's already happening...
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
That's economy not revenge. Us here at xda that care about getting timely updates are a really small % last year they sold the most android phones. They have the same goal this year. I think why they have slipped so far this year is they haven't released any cool phones yet ex... nexus s 4g not only that they still have 3 more quarters.
[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
I agree with badboy on this one, combination of economy and lack of phone releases caused the single quarter drop.

As for my original question, i am trying to be an optimist and am hoping to find at least a few people that SamsungJohn helped.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Probably nobody. The questions they were forcing people to ask were more like, "What is the CEO's favorite pony color?" instead of the meat people were wanting here.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Why is everyone fed up with Samsung? They've given us FroYo and amazing hardware (we were top for quite awhile), only surpassed by dual core processors...

I'm glad with the support I've received and with the devs here no one should be complaining.
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
All the cool kids are doing it. Besides, if no one slams Samsung every 5 minutes we'd all look pretty stupid standing around holding pitchforks and burning brooms.

Personally I've never had any issue with Samsungs support. Releasing 2.2 within 6 months of release seemed pretty fast to me... and exactly what they said they would do (<6 months into a 24 month expected lifespan IS 'soon'). I have never had any unusual or abnormal deficiencies from the phone in any way.
[Epic 4G General] ilostmypistons:
Samsungs problems aren't with phones right now its the other stuff like LCD tvs. Updates have nothing to do with it even Apple seems to be falling a little(with there giant line of BS) so its probably more economy based
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Samsung is only required to support their product for 6 months minimum, which means they didn't even have to release Froyo in the first place. And from my understanding, Samsung isn't the only manufacturer that has problems releasing updates.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Wait. How'd we get so far off topic? I thought we were talking about SamsungJohn, not Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
I'd appreciated not being lumped in as a "basher". I have a legitimate complaint about not receiving feedback and resolution to my issues.

I purchased my phone back in September, in the almost 7 months I have owned this phone some of the issues have been fixed others have been ignored.

I have sent 3 emails since September to Samsung Customer Service and Technical support, none of them were answered. I called Samsung and was promised a call back that never came. SamsungJohn comes around and asks us for a bugs/issues list. He asked me to upload mine to google docs then never addressed any of the issues. He told me he worked directly with R&D yet could provide no information on upcoming bug fixes, could not even answer questions like "is the R&D team aware of or working on xxxx bug?"

I'm not a "basher", I am asking if anyone has received any help from SamsungJohn.
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
EDIT: twolostminds: both of my posts were directed at overstews comment about everyone being sore, neither were directed at your post, just to be clear.

Well like I said, I personally don't feel they did anything wrong regarding the updates, it is about typical for any product support. I think somebodies HTC got a super fast update and it got everyones panties in a wad.

If anything were to dissuade me from buying another Samsung, it would be the crappy attitude of the owner community online.... but I would really have to actually read the whine threads a bit more carefully before that ever happened.
