[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogreish:
hey

thanks for the replies.

like you guys said, if I'll wait now I might find myself in the same dilemma regarding other devices.

however, there's one main difference - it's a question of whether the dual core processors are worth waiting for or not... I assume that in one year from now all new device will be released with those processors , so the 'gap' between what I will want by then (SG2 for instance) and whats about to come out a year from now won't be that big like now between the galaxy s and the s 2.

I'll cut it down to a very simple question -

2 years from now, will we still see new apps coming out for the galaxy S device?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nchc:
In two years time there will be another big processor development i.e. the difference between single and dual core wont be the determining factor of whether your phone can or cant use new apps.

I consider myself really lucky to have purchased a SGS soon after it was released, before all the hype and before a huge dev community was formed. A big Dev community is what gives a phone longevity, not manufacturing support that wanes as soon as their latest and greatest phone is released.

My advice would be to go with a phone that has a big dev community = SGS, Nexus phones and most HTC devices.

Looking for the new Cellular South 2.2 Rom. Just want it as a backup. Any help?
[Desire General] crackzattic:
did you ever find this? they sent the update OTA and can't find it anywhere
[HD2 General] yousufshah:
is there any 1 who have that issue?

i tried to search but cant find

i tried to back my hd2 from windows mobile 7 to 6.5.was have latest MAGLDR

then i flashed a rom

now problem

tried through usb,sd card, used a task 29 rom ,not real procedure of task 29

then again installed rom through card,tried almost 4 stock roms

but cant boot my hd2

still again bootloader

Have wired problem

any 1 have that issue?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Let me attempt to translate:

You had a WP7 ROM flashed on your rig then flashed a WM6.5 ROM and now you cannot flash anything via HSPL?
[HD2 General] yousufshah:
i can flash but after 100% done.i restart my phone its again goes bootloader
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Like Orangekid I am a little unsure of your issue. Are you saying your HD2 keeps booting up into bootloader everytime you power it on? Or that you can not get a ROM to flash via SD card?

Edit: I just saw your other post have you checked toto see if your volume down button is stuck?
[HD2 General] yousufshah:
nop its not
[HD2 General] orangekid:
so you get a successful flash then it goes to the bootloader or to MAGLDR?

Are you saying that you flash an Android or WP7 ROM then it goes back to to the MAGLDR screen or are you saying you flash a WM6.5 ROM and it goes back to the tri-color on each reboot?

That's weird if it tells you it flashes ok. Have you tried flashing stock WM6.5 via SD?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
As far ass I know your volume down button being stuck or your bootloader being corrupted is the only thing that will cause hour HD2 to boot straight into bootloader.

Are you sure you mean it boots to the red, green, blue, and white bootloader screen not just to the HTC or Stick Together screen depending on your model HD2?
[HD2 General] yousufshah:
three colour again and again.sent u a pm t-mac.please check
[HD2 General] yousufshah:
t-mac please check pm
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I did check your PM and I did send you a e-mail.
[HD2 General] yousufshah:
still have the problem
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hey yousufshah I talked to connexion2005 on the phone and we talked for a good while but he and I bothcthink youchave a bad block or two in your NAND chip as hechas tried literally everything and can not get it to boot up into the ROM, it just boots straight to the bootloader. He has JTAGed it multipule times and can get a ROM to flash via SD card bit still it boots into bootloader. He can not get a USB connection with the phone what so ever and I believe he said it is not even charging when he plugs it into the charger. I am very sorry t say this but your best options arecto replacecthe main board or just buycanother HD2. I promise you connexion2005 has tried his hardest to get your HD2 to work again. I am very sorry friend.

i am so tired of people getting offended by CAPS. it is not anger / or yelling or offensive.

ITS TO STRESS A POINT, some times its needed as alot of people cant read what has been said 5 times in-front of their face. (not here but other situations)

other times why bother being all polite and writing an essay when you can give instructions in point form and stress the main points.

i use caps and people think im a jerk.

but they notice the important part or get the point.... its worth it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBatRFan:
Off topic, but how did you make ODIN recognize your phone? I never had problems with it until recently, but it started to not recognize my phone after flashing MIUI. I tried every possible fix besides using a different computer, and nothing worked. Finally used a spare laptop and it worked, but I'd like to be able to use my main for flashing stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
I restored my pc from a restore point I made 3 days before that **** started happening. I make one once a week, or anytime windows updates whichever comes first.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmgelba:
So if I cant use ODIN because my phone is an early build, what can I use to put back the stock 2.1 on there, or retry 2.2?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
No, you CAN use odin because your phone is an early build, I was saying that I have 3 later builds that are supposed to be wonky with odin but haven't gotten any problems. And that is just about the one click odin anyway, you can always use the full odin, just the one click is supposed to cause problems with later builds.

1007 should be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
You aren't reading. Your 1007 will restore using Odin just fine. You need to be on 2.1 to be able to use the Kies Mini upgrade to 2.2.

Well I've been trying out various roms for a few months now, and well I just recently decided to S-OFF and get custom MTD tables...

The problem is that after wiping my data, when I reboot the boot loader it tells me model ID fail

I know this usually means there's a bad Gold Card, but I never made one because my desire is on Telus and I believed that it wasn't branded as no carrier splash or apps were installed, the box doesn't say telus and the phone has no carrier logo... but the phone is locked

Please HELP!!

EDIT:

Never mind, I reflashed my backed up boot.img and I was able to fastboot the CM7 partition table and then flash CM7

Now it works great!

[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
Too expensive and we knew a long time ago that the 8gb card from SanDisk was stable. I am getting ready to begin my own tests on cards to find a larger card that will be completely reliable. The target write speeds were posted on a tweet from Mix11 so now we know what to look for. Its sad the markup on this card.

Thanks for the post though :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Oscardog777:
Yeah they're a little too expensive for what you're getting, but its still nice to see Microsoft make good on their promise to make approved cards available.

Also could you post those target read/write speeds?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
I don't particularly get this. 8GB? Isn't that the size we have anyway?

Or, is the idea for devices which have on-board memory (Omnia?) this could be an additional storage? Or is it simply, look we're bringing out official cards and soon they'll be 16GB, 32GB and 64GB?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
this is mostly for us Focus users, we have a card slot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
One can't help but wonder, though, whether the use of this card, being certified, would be in compliance with the phone's warranty, where other cards would void it (in the event of a bricked phone).

Also, there could be increased quality standards applied to these cards, to confirm that they meet the necessary write speeds. Other cards that don't meet the requirement could still be sold, just not certified. So it could still be a gamble to use another card.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
Necessary write speeds are.......well.........necessary write speeds. That's why they are certified because....well.....they meet the necessary write speeds :). Nothing else needed.

As far as warranty....chances are its not gonna brick your card....plus most of us have done enough modding, hacking, cracking, fenagling, to already void our warranty. Lol

And here is the link to those target speeds.

[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I think you somehow misread my post.

What I said was that the certified cards are certified because they meet the necessary write speed requirements (which is what you just wrote, as if to correct me).

But, other batches of cards that don't meet the write speed requirement could still be sold by SanDisk, and on the outside they would look just like the certified cards (but they would not have the Windows Phone logo on the packaging).

If someone were to use one of those other cards, assuming it was just as good as the certified ones, they could have problems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Wrong. R/W speeds were never the issue with SD Card Compatibility. You could get a Class 10 card and it'll still fail. It depends on how well the card performs with Random Access operations because of the way WP7 spans the storage system across multiple volumes.

And ensuring the random access performance of the card works well is harder the larger the card is, which probably has something to do with why most phones are 8 or 16GB. NAND storage would have the same issue if the RA performance wasn't up to par.

The R/W speeds were never a big issue. A class 2 card with decent RA performance can work just fine. They just needed to have certified cards so that people knew the cards would work.

But, all the current phones with SD cards make you void your warranty to use one. I wonder how they will handle this should anything happen...

It's much easier to undo hacking, fanangling, cracking, whatever than it is to replace an OEM warranty sticker that you had to remove/break to put the card in...
[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
All of that you just said is what I meant. You just explained it better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] spokanedj:
AFAIK, you don't void your Warranty on the Samsung Focus if you put a card in it. I even had problems with my first one with a card in it and AT&T replaced the phone no questions asked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
That's nice but Microsoft never should have allowed OEMs to release 8GB phones, anyways. Storage is way too cheap to have anything less than 16. There's a reason why Apple discontinued 8GB models of the iPhone/iTouch. They were a waste and in many cases users ended up scratching their heads because 8GB simply ins't a lot of storage.

Those cards are super expensive, anyways.

The only thing that would make me buy an 8GB phone + card is the fact that manufacturers charge like $50-100 to go from 8 to 15 or 16 to 32 GB, which is highway robbery...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
Tweaks and mods usually come as a cab - this is a self extracting installation file which you copy to your phone, double click, restart, done.

There is a protection built into the system, especially for the taskbar, you need to install a certification file first - as seen in this thread.

hi, tictac0566. i downloaded the certificate .cab and its on my sd card. but where do i open it on my phone?

It depends, of course, where you stored the cab. Maybe search it with the file explorer, double tap on it, there you go.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
certification file is required for few applications which are protected otherwise they won't work. This will not affect the battery life but make sure you install appropriate taskbar as per your ROM build, i.e. 6.5 or 6.5.X. otherwise you may have to hard reset your phone.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
sdkcert .cab will work but make sure you download the taskbar for 6.5 only, if you download it for 6.5.X then it will not work and you have to hardreset. Given below are few taskbar threads,

[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
I have an EditText object (et_travel) on my screen that's asking for miles traveled. I grab that data like this:

float travel = Float.parseFloat(et_travel.getText().toString());
if(travel > 40000){

I just discover that if someone puts 40000 in the EditText, everything works fine, but if they put 40,000 (adding a comma to the number), I force close on the float travel = ...statement.

How can I evaluate the number without having a problem from the user adding a comma?
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
you should parse the string before you run it through Float.parseFloat() so that there are no bad characters in the string. use some of the String methods to find and remove bad characters.
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Also that parsefloat method probably throws some sort of exception. You could catch it and let your user know that there value is invalid and to try again
[Android Software Development] rigman:
Set the properties on the edittext so it accepts numbers only.
