Samsung's Android 2.2.1, and 2.3, browser is GPU accelerated, which makes it just as smooth, if not smoother, than Opera. It may lag a little for a second, but then it clears up. Try Bi-Winning if you don't believe me.

anyone remember the command to find out what panel version you have??

my bad wrong section
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
If you're rooted, install Terminal Emulator, from the market, to your phone. It's free.

Open it and, at the prompt, type in:

dmesg | egrep -e 'epson|nova'

The output will contain either a setting for an Epson or Novatec panel, never both. Whichever returns is the panel type you have. Easier than using adb and available anywhere. :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samwards:
So, I'm new to the site, and the whole customization thing with my phone. Search seems to be down ass to mouth, and I need to know if anyone has run into, or more appropriately has a work around/fix for the bluetooth address book issue using any of the Z-based ROMS.

For some context, when connecting the phone to a bluetooth source (like your car) it normally can download the phonebook to your car's display so you can dial using the vehicle's interface, reducing the amount of time spent looking down and fiddling with your phone. This is an invaluable feature for someone who makes a living via their phone often while traveling.

The issue is that the phone will connect to the bluetooth in the vehicle, and it even works for phone audio and basic commands (dial, answer, hang up, etc). However it doesnt seem to connect to the phonebook on the device. Honestly as minor as this seems, its sort of a deal breaker for the ROM, which is otherwise beautiful.
[Defy General] tarox9162:
i rescently flashed 2.2 android on my motorola defy, and i loaded a new boot scren animation and ever since my phone won't boot right i get the AA logo and it restarts instead of loading the new boot animation, restarts itself over and over, i wanted to try to reflash it so i held down power and volume down thing and i clicked on bottom right corner and nothing, i continued to click all around and nothing, NO RECOVERY menu came up at all so i cannot whipe it, can anyonje help please?
[Defy General] WIIstpM:
You will have to install a new sbf...

For that you need to go to bootloader (Power+volume UP)

Install RSD Lite and flash the new sbf!

It may fix it..

EDIT!!

Try Power and Volum Down and if you see an android with a yeallow triangle, Press the buttons as mentioned in the post below and you'll go to stock recovery.
[Defy General] ephumuris:
Try volume up and down really fast. Not touching bottom corner. I don't even have my Defy yet but I'm sure I read this!

[Defy General] tarox9162:
yay thanks so much i reflashed it and it works fine, but if anyone could help me get my recovery menu back i would greatly appreciate it so i can install roms
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
you'll have to root and reinstall recovery again
[Defy General] WIIstpM:

To get CWM recovery back you'll need to root. (use SuperOneClick)

I'm been having issues with my evo I wanna UNROOT it but don't remember what unrevoked I used how do I go about finding which one I used
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
It doesn't matter which one you used. As long as you know that you used Unrevoked to begin with. When unrooting, just flash the Unrevoked S on tool, in recovery. Then boot to the bootloader, and confirm that S is ON. Once it is, then run an RUU or flash a PC36IMG of an RUU using the bootloader. I'll attatch a link to the Unrevoked S on tool for you.

Use that link on your streak to download the latest official released build from Dell/AT&T once downloaded click on it to install. Or go to settings and system update to see if it will get it OTA.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william58:
Thank you! Do I install it from the computer via program or from the phone via sim card?

I'm new at this so pardon the questions. Is there a guide to doing this step by step?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techvir:
Download that to ur memory card

Turn off the phone

Go to recovery mode ( press both vol button and start button )

list of 4 options

press and leave camera button.

After flashing the new rom, it will factory reset , so u will loose all data. So make a back up.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william58:
Cool...

Again, I'm new at this.

Where on the memory card do I put the .pkg ?

How is the best way to do a backup of my data?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Just go to that link in the browser. It will start downloading. Once downloaded on your phone click the notification window that shows you it downloaded. That should start the install process.

You will need to be on wifi for this as the download is big.

You can also try doing this on your phone... Dial *#*#checkin#*#*

That will force your phone to check in to the update server. You might get the notification there. let me know if you have any other questions.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william58:
OK, I'll try this in the morning as it is bedtime now.

Thanks for taking the time to show me this.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william58:
Is this the link your talking about?

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/Package...0_14844_31.pkg

Now... I go to that link with my phone, not the computer?

I have that file saved on my computer. I thought I would then place it somewhere on the sim card?

What does Dial *#*#checkin#*#* do? Is that where I check for updates on the Streak? Do I try that first?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
If you download it to the computer then put it on the phone you have to then rename it to update.pkg then go into recovery and manually flash it. If you download out on the phone you should be able to just click it once downloaded and it will start the upgrade.

The check in code forces the phone to checkin with the update server to see if there is an os update. If you do the checkin code wait a few minutes to see if you get the update notification. All AT&T streaks should get the notification to upgrade to 2.2 as it was released earlier this year.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william58:
I assume your in USA somewhere and got your update from AT&T. When did you get yours?

How'd you get the update? And I didn't? I got mine from Best Buy two weeks ago so it should have been done you think?

If you download it to the computer then put it on the phone you have to then rename it to update.pkg then go into recovery and manually flash it.

I don't know the "exact" procedure to doing the above... so I think I'll try your 3rd method below first, then if that don't work, do it from the phone and if all else fails, from the computer. I will try this this afternoon.

If you download out on the phone you should be able to just click it once downloaded and it will start the upgrade.

the tethering driver is built into windows, unless you deleted them then you dont need anything

the syncing driver is inside: win7\

also included is installdellmysync.exe

which is the nero sync software

finally included is ADB inside: adb-v1p0p25\

unless you deleted your built in windows drivers everything is there

or if you're running something older than xp you're on your own

on a rooted one I believe it does as you can spoof the STOCK sms/ mms app to use an user agent like Nokia n95 or blackberry 8xxx, both of those phones use the regular texting plan to send and receive MMS. I did this with my mytouch 3g since like cyanogen mod 4-6...

btw you will have to change your APN settings to match that of a regular no data required phone.

[Networking] _ice_:
are you on a vanilla rom or cooked rom? if you're on a cooked rom then use the stock sms app..(AOSP roms) hit menu> settings> Custom user agent and click blackberry 8800 (that way you can use the regular edge network to send MMS) and your pictures won't be compressed :)

edit: make sure your data network is turned on. Otherwise when you toggle data it also disables the MMS settings.
[Networking] zack_sparrow:

looks like an AOSP rom so you should be able to spoof the MMS settings using the stock sms app. some market sms apps might be able to spoof the sms agent, but I am not sure since I only use the stock android messaging app.

I recently installed the Firefly ROM onto my Cappy. Prior to this I was on esclair 2.1 for the longest time. The GPS on my phone was not great but it worked. By that I meant it took 15-30 seconds to get a lock. Sometime it would put me on the neighboring street but overall it served the purpose. However, after flashing Firefly, the GPS just doesn't work at all. It would take over 1 minute to get a lock and then kept losing it. On a 10 minute drive today, it lost GPS lock 3 times with full view of the sky. When I checked the LbsTestMode on the phone I noticed the SkyHook option was not there which was weird.

Anyone have any suggestion? Which custom ROM has the best GPS performance?

I would try reading into the many theads (some stickied at top) on how to improve/ what affects the GPS.

Question: What exactly are the limitations of the remote PC access for the transformer. Will I able able to access and run applications (such as an IDE for example) that are on my desktop, or is that too much? I am going to be a college freshman next year, and am looking at the feasibility of using the Transformer instead of a laptop.

Alternately, will it be possible to run Ubuntu on the Transformer in the future?

Thank You.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Why not? They will be running on the PC though, not on tablet. The tablet will only view them and allow you to click etc. I don't know how it behaves when you need to write something (external keyboard should be useful in that case).

You know that for remote access you have to have good (fast) connection with your PC, right? Otherwise the image quality and speed will be quite low. I plan to use it only locally.

As a virtual machine with VNC it runs already on Xoom. Don't know how useful it is. As a normal system - I don't know. Could be hard.

Also for remote access from outside your local network you would need not to be behind NAT.
