[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
that is what we abbreviate MCO throughout this thread.

None of the grey phones carry any USA warranty by definition. And there is no legit "white" model on the USA market yet that would carry warranty and be sold at solid shops.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
I haven't even seen a hint that this phone is gonna goto the big 4 like the SGS did. Won't be surprised if it does (with variation) but I would bet its gonna be awhile. Also, if AT&T gets the Infuse, I can't imagine they would care about getting the SGS2 also. They already have a dual core phone. (Atrix)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
AT&T and VZW are both all getting an "enhanced" SGS1 model with Super Amoled Plus: Infuse and Droid Charge. I do not know why they are doing this when SGS2 is around the corner all over the world.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjun90:
I didn't see the many comments already posted in this thread, lol.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
exoticphone replied to me that they are "currently sold out" of sgs2 and asked to call next week.

mco still shows "no eta available"

meanwhile the British are deflowering their brand sparkling new SGS2s.

:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
So they didn't answer a damn thing, just said call back next week. You wanna possibly spend $1k+ with them. Sure, call back next week.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwolf0:
Wow the SGS2 is ONLY $699 imported. Back when I bought my Vibrant for $400 near release, the imported model was also around $650. I am optimistic this phone won't be any more expensive than the Galaxy S when it hits a major US carrier, so the branded price will also be $400 on eBay.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
you mean they do not value good business? or I am risking too much?

I was never going to pay online to this company - my intent was always to pay a visit, see the goods, only then part with cash. This is New York, and I am not a tourist here :)

although I remember in the news recently, someone was running a jewelry scam, two guys going around jewelry shops, offering the shop owners "inherited" jewelry at half price.

the shop owner would eval the gems and accept the deal. while the store owner counts cash to pay, the two guys swap the items for some crap. long story short, they managed to "sell" same items to many shops until they were caught. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
VZW starts selling tomorrow SGS1 (Droid Charge with LTE) with Super Amoled Plus 4.3 inches (exactly like in SGS2), one-core 1 GHz cpu, and other old SGS1 specs, for $299 ON CONTRACT :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwolf0:
I'd like to see that $100k salary. As Republicans say, teachers are draining the system with their fancy Houses, Ferraris, and gold-dust chalk.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
No no, I was being sarcastic about their answer. They didn't answer any of your questions, just simply said call back next week. Not cool.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignign0kt:
Electroprise doesn't look very trustworthy IMO

No mention of stock on the website, no mention of warranty
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoostedSR20:
I don't think your gonna get a warranty anywhere..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
precisely

And this shop does not hide it actually, their FAQ says this

"

What kind of warranty does electroprise.com offer?

We have seven day return policy. If the phone is defective within this period, we will give you brand new exchange. All phones come with one year manufacturer warranty from the country of origin. This is important to note that the warranty is honored ONLY in the country of origin (country of origin of some phones may not be US). However, we strongly recommend that you take advantage of our extended warranty which will cover your phone up to four years for a minimal cost.

"

they offer to sell you extended warranty through some other company that is as shady as electroprise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignign0kt:
Ugh this sucks. I really don't think I can wait until the phone actually hits the states. But not having a warranty is awful

From ComputerWorld

"Samsung Galaxy S [UPDATED 4/7/11]: All signs point to Gingerbread being in the cards for Samsung's popular Galaxy S line of phones. That includes the Samsung Captivate on AT&T, Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint, Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile, and Samsung Fascinate on Verizon (which as of now has yet to even receive Froyo). Rumors started popping up in January that some Galaxy S phones could see an Android 2.3 upgrade as early as March or April. Samsung's official Samsung Mobile India Twitter account, meanwhile, has stated numerous times that the Galaxy S will receive Gingerbread -- version 2.3.3 -- but that a definite launch date has not been set. Samsung's Romanian Facebook page has issued similar promises. In late March, software said to be a leaked version of Samsung's official Galaxy S Gingerbread update surfaced on an Android developers' forum, heightening speculation that a rollout could be near. In addition to all of that, Samsung's Finnish site has now posted a news release stating that Gingerbread will reach Galaxy S handsets "in mid-April.""

Another good article to read from Lifehackerwith a spreadsheet of release dates.

-Troll
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
lol "Troll".

Well, let's see, even if gingerbread were CLOSE to being released, don't think of the Galaxy S as a sign.

First of all, the Galaxy S is Samsung's MAIN FLAGSHIP device, AND Galaxy S's are only released in Europe, I believe.

So therefore, even if Samsung had a finished product of 2.3 for us by mid-april, Sprint's going to have to add their crap to it and **** it up some more, make it even more buggier than Samsung achieved, and send an OTA that will have to be pulled the day after it comes out because it'll fry people's phones. SOOO, if we WERE to get Gingerbread, I'd say by August-Mid September at the earliest.

Sorry for bringing your hopes down...just stating the facts.
[Epic 4G General] lazydazed:
I'm no english whiz but what does the word that starts with a G on the back of your phone say?

Yes the yourapeein phones will definately get the update first but I don't doubt that our G phone will get it later than sooner..
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
maybe you guys are being too skeptical. maybe sprint id will fit in real nice with gingerbraed no problems and well have a smooth release by june or july and none of us will have to buy a gs2 or anything. trust in samsung.

NOT!
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
It says Galaxy S, I know. But we do not have the Galaxy S i9000, we have a phone in the same "family" as the Galaxy S i9000, but that is the first and main focus of Samsung's Galaxy S family. And I know we will get the update sooner or later, I'm just saying don't give your hopes up for a release this month.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
I think Im more excited about cm7 than an official gingerbread from Samsung

Ya we have "A" Galaxy S phone, not (according to samsung) "The" Galaxy S.

Official Gingerbread, would not only speed up CM7 development but allow for OCing kernels for CM.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I support and agree 100% with this message.

I'm just hoping they get 4G figured out. I live around the Chicago area, so to have it and then not...well, that would kind of suck. Not sure I'm willing to give it up, even for the sweetness CM7 is/will be.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Very true! I would much rather have a fully functional CM7 than a Samsung/Sprint GB :D

I'm more excited about gb miui!
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Looks like more pundits taking 'twitter' as a valid source... and one for OTHER COUNTRIES that use the i9000.... the SAME as the rumor about froyo from what, samsung Twit UK??? None of the Twits in the article said anything about the US variants, just the writer of the article... typical... tech media reach so far for a story. Besides, I wouldn't even trust a US Twit, look at the SamsungJohn thing... they could just be sharing their feelings like when they talk about how good their sushi was today... social networking crap isnt news, its crap. Facebook is not a government insider... its just a site for douchebaggery.

+1 on CM and MIUI! But GB source for them would be good, no?
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I'd expect a GB port from the Nexus S 4G long before we get anything official...
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Eh, the only thing that the nexus s 4G may help us is the 4G working much earlier than expected. That's pretty much the only similarity

I have Cryogen with tablet tweaks running. Video play fine, but I'm trying to get MLB At Bat to stream games. I got the app to allow streaming on unsupported devices. The videos works fine, and if I go into a game before it begins, I get the please stand by until the game starts. When I go into a game to watch it, I get a white screen. I'm thinking it's a hardware encoding problem, any ideas?

my work just changed over to Exchange 2010 and now my exchange activesync wont accept the new address. it keeps telling me the user name or password is incorrect even though I know they are right. I really need help with this, with out it work life is almost impossible. I'm running senseless rEVOlution 2.0 I know that my info are correct because I tried the app "exchange for android 2.x" and it worked, but it is only a trial to an expensive app.

Is there no one who can help with this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I use Enhanced Email by Quantam Solutions, I think I paid like $4 or $5. Way cheaper than TouchDown.

You could try having the IT Dept remove the mobile device association on your account, then trying again to enter the information.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Was the switch to Outlook 2010 or Exchange 2010? Upgrading Outlook shouldn't have effected anything. We upgraded our systems to MS Office 2010 without issue, and run Exchange 2007.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacinskyjr:
I believe it is exchange 2010
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacinskyjr:
Thanks for the tip on this app it works good. Why is it the HTC mail app wont accept an exchange 2010 account? Does any one know if there is any updates for this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
The native email app always gave me issues, and I know that there are issues with it. I've read that there are sync issues with it at times, so I just switched. The developer is great for Enhanced Email, no issues with it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtagem:
I was having an issue with my xoom and exchange 2010. worked fine on 2007. Found out that my mailbox on the server was slowly corupting. We made me a new mailbox and copied all my old stuff into it. Works great now. Sounds like alot of work but my email works now...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacinskyjr:
how does one do this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtagem:
Whoever is in charge of your exchange server needs to export your mailbox. delete it and make a new one. then import everything back in. My boss helped me with mine so I dont know every step by heart yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Yey nice work!! Im tring to get rosie to rotate on it too :) also ive fixed all the sensors in the latest build,PM'd you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
Thanx, i will give it a try.

flashing now :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
First of all : Great Job! and Welcome back!

1. Camera kinda works :D when you change the resolution from 5MP to 3Mp back and forth you always get an Negative-ish effect for about 1 second of what your pointing the camera to. Maybe the driver just needs to be tweaked I think :D(I'm not a dev so I dunno if it can be fixed)

2. APN list is missing ?

3. I've installed superuser and after I've restored my apps with TB, all of them work :D

Clocked at 176 - 614 Smartass:

Linpack score: 2.694 - 2.634 - 2.726 (ran the test 3 times)

Neocore: (with sound) 25.4FPS

(without sound) 30.2FPS

Quadrant score: 376
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
On clockworks this rom wont flash :P so installed AmonRa and works like a charm, booting now and will report back with everything ill find :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
Yay, eramux is back!

So what's the deal with this espresso-rom, what differs from a "regular" sense rom, is it better or worse, and why?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
1. Depending on the specific non-hero camera lib you use, you get these negative distorted images. If I remember correctly in one sense 2.2 ROM I even managed to save such a distorted image. This does not change the fact, the camera libs are not for the hero. I tried the simple solution of push the hero camera libs and this does not boot. I'll try to play with it a bit more but don't get your hopes up....

2. What do you mean APN list is missing? Its there and it seems to offer my the appropriate choice for my provider. I can only test this in a limited way as I don't have a data plan....

Any ideas on why it does not flash on clockworks? Do you have a log with the problem or something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
EDIT

Boot was not that long, and out of the box it runs pretty smooth.

Phone app takes long to start when you get a call the first time. The second time works fine.

Superuser installed from the marked updated Su binary and runs like normal now.

Swipe keyboard nice :D but the actuall swipe aint working but normal typing goes great on it :D so I am happy with it. But the normal keyboard is fine to.

Like said GPS is not working. When activated it does not reboot the phone but just dont find any sats :P

For me the APN list for KPN Holland was included.

Music playback works as normal.

BT connects with my laptop just fine, and it says I can use it for Filetransfer. But the actuall file transfer is not working.

Still want to test it in my car with BT audio and BT phone but that will come later today.

to bad there are still so many T-Mob apps :P gonna see what I can remove later on, but that will come first I need to work. Sorta...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Nope dont have a log, when sellecting it, it just opens and then goes straigth to the root of the recovery. So maybe clockwork cannot handle the file, I was lazy and was not in the mood to check the verification stuff so flashed AmonRA :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
Flashed it with Rommanager without problems
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
maybe that one is different then the choose zip from SD straight from CW or my hero does not like CW :P

EDIT: Battery drain is not high so I am happy to run this now for this day use.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I am in Romania and my network is Orange. I asked if the APN list is missing because if I flash any 2.1, 2.2 vanilla, or 2.3 roms, my APN list has Orange RO (Internet) and Orange RO MMS (mms) settings from first boot as the rom recognizes my network. I've flashed Herosso 2 times with full wipe and it doesn't add those settings but it recognizes that I am on Orange and phone calls work.

Looking into the score, there is no JIT yet. I'm wondering whats the biggest pro of Froyo sense compared to 2.1 sense…
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
hahahaha xD and again :P there you are :D

Great, I'm going to try this rom! ^^

keep the good work up (y)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
Erasmux u r the man ;-). I've installed the Rom and must say it's running smooth enough for an alpha version. Now i'm restoring my apps and after that i will configure my exchange mail (wich is the most important thing for me) and report back asap. keep up the graet work.

edit: after restored my apps and configured my exchange mail, this ROM is wonderful. ;-) Haven't tried camera wifi gps etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
made a couple of edits to my post above, but once again you've posted already =P

i prefer the curved pull down bar too so hopefully you can get it to work. any idea why i can't use my trackball to navigate to the accept/cancel buttons on certain menus i.e. ringtone picker? perhaps it is due to other modifications made to this theme?

i know it's personal taste =) i'm doing my best to get over myself hehe. it's a lovely rom overall.

:cool:

now you mention it i don't know what differences there are between the official 2.1 sense and wildfire 2.2 sense, i just like being more up to date, keeps me from wanting to buy a new phone as much. i also remember the newer roms handling contact syncing better, but it's been a while now and i may have just tricked myself into thinking this. Herolatte is quite different which i like, and the dialer is very nice indeed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
The trackball works fine here both in the Settings menus in general and in the Settings -> Sound -> Phone ringtone specifically. Please try it on a clean installation of this ROM as is.

Btw, I would appreciate any help with visual tweaks for this ROM. Theming and such is not my strongest suit. I did my best to fix a few things that really bugged me on the initial ROM, but I am sure a good themer can do much better. I assume there also should be a way to create your own themes for this ROM (copying the existing themes and changing them).

So if you or anyone else have some visual customization they would like to share or need help with the technical side of integrating the images, I would be happy to help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Fashing the complete rom now

Normally I would look in the zipfile and remove a lot of stuff, but i want to test it normal first and report back my findings then ill strip it down and do it again XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
No "H" at signal status bar, only "3G" ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
i tried wiping and flashing twice and i still couldn't get to the buttons on the ringtone picker with my trackball (only on the default theme) but lets see if anybody else has the problem or cares enough to post =P

i've not themed android before, i suppose i could try some stuff out, had thought the same about altering the images of an existing theme.

after restoring 2.1 again, i realised that 2.2 and up syncs calendars much better =P gets all my facebook birthdays so i don't have to remeber haha. (this is the HTC calendar btw)

also we got JIT with 2.2 although i can imagine the performace improvement for our heros is neglegable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
i aint absolutely sure but i guess i'm having problems connecting my fone to the pc,tried a couple of restarts after restoring my apps,n restarted,phone displays usb debugging activated when i plug it to the computer,but i'm unable to mount usb mass storage or as a disk drive for some reason the option doesnt seem to even show,i guess tats one bug i noticed hoping someone says its my mistake somewhere...

also noticed initial lag sucks ass :P

but after it takes a lil tym off frm my fiddling seems to be as fast as the previous versions,

the menu lag is still there though which sucks,

LOVE THE BOOT TYM!!! 50s!!!! brilliance i tell you!

overall good perfomance other wise,fast despite being a sense rom,looking forward to updates on the minor stuff,i'll help out with the themes once m done wit my stupid exams.

CHeers erasmux!!u made my day :):):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
Two things that impressed me after several hours usage of 0.9 version:

- After initial setup, let the phone to take a rest (longer better), the smoothness will be improved quite much

- Linpack score is very high, I got around 3.9 for single thread, >4 for multi-thread (with default frequency 612)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devision:
Very good rom! But have some minor issues:

- Broken DialPad layout for Russian language

- "Clear notifications" not translated (usually "Очистить" in russian)

- USB mount not works if select it manually (usb plug menu not showing)

- Can't change lock-screen wallpaper (seems like it changes but no result in fact)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tim149:
Completely awsome this rom. just one question could you use your camera fix with standard 2.2 sense ?.:confused::confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
What exactly is the problem with the USB mount. It seems your not the only one complaining about it (see below), so I assume there is a problem, but it does work perfectly for me. After you connect the usb, you should get the "Charge only" notification message - see the fourth screen shot on the main post. Then you click on that and change it to "Disk Drive".... You can even change the default from the Settings menu.

About the translations, like I said on the first post, this ROM originally has only English. I copied the translations as is from the Wildfire port but this is ROM is a bit different, for example the dial pad. I am afraid I both don't have the linguistical skills, nor the time to fix any issues with these translations. If any native speakers of these languages, can fix the translations and send the updated files back to me, I'll integrate it into the ROM :).

About the usb mount, same question I asked bharat_goku above.

The lock screen wallpaper is changed from the myModes -> Change your mod menu.

See posts #173 and #175 on previous page.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Taking another look at the broken dialpad, it doesn't seem like a problem with the translation but more like a graphical bug. I am afraid this currently can not be at the top of my priorities but I will see if I get around to checking this out eventually.

In the mean time:

a) Does this bug also happen for any other langauges?

b) Of course if anyone else can please look into this and find a fix or a least the root cause of this problem, it would be appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devision:
If i can get files to translate - i'll try to fix )

"Charge mode" notification not appears - only USB debug mode notification (using kernel that comes with ROM)
