[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeruf:
Ok so i would like to update my galaxy to 2.3 gingerbread official using keis.

I live in Australia and based on what i have read the update should be out on my model of galaxy. When i plug my phone into keis it is saying i have the latest firmware. I have done some reading up on this and if i am correct some of the hacks and things i have done to my phone could cause it not to be able to update and i would like to know if this is true and how i can fix this.

Things i have done:

- I am currently running 2.2 froyo

- I have voodoo lagfix and soundfix installed.

- I used sgs tools from market to use the optus apps which came with my phone that where unusable since i was with virgin.

- I applied a 3 button fix i found as well so i could update voodoo easier. But in the end i just used Odin.

One thing i read was that i have to restore the system apps to update it. which i have done with all accept one but the .apk backup for it is not working so i cannot. Will i have to use Odin and revert back to the original firmware and start again? Or is there something i can do from here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
Short answer- You can't.

Gingerbread isn't out officially anywhere at present (there was a brief period where it was out on Kies for Scandinavia- hence all the semi-official "leaked" roms).

On past performance we're likely to be waiting a fair while here in Oz- once Official GB Roms come out from Samsung you then have to wait for all the local carriers to add their garbage to it (and - according to them- "test" it) before it gets released on kies. I'd bite the bullet and just grab a nice rom from here.

Remember if you do decide to wait for the official update, you will have to downgrade to stock for kies to recognise your right to an upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
+ 120 to that NO upgrade to 2.3.3 YET .

All upgrades are unofficial .When Kies has your upgrade it upgrades

Then before update undo lagfix .

Or to be really safe reinstall your original saved rom the one you saved before you started messing with the phone .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myfifth:
I think using odin to flash a stock rom back before updating by kies would be safe way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Depends Kies does not recognize stock rom as product code etc dont match = no update through Kies . Stock is not network supplied firmware as original .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeruf:
Lets just say I'm a total wanker and I didn't save my original rom. Am i stuck using custom roms from now?

Hi G2x owners,

Could somebody who has installed ClockworkMod Recovery (so you can back out if it does not work) please try this for me and confirm it works on the T-Mobile variant? I see no reason it should not.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=994544

Please post back, thanks.

Edit: Assuming you have the option under Settings | Display | Display font?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wewoapsiak:
Flashed the .zip, I have no option to change font in the display settings. I looked elsewhere for it but couldn't find that option.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djmcnz:
Okay... thanks for the feedback, perhaps it's only on the O2x build. It's difficult to know what is in and what is out of the G2x "stock" build.

On the O2x build this app exists to play around with system fonts easily... it just shipped with a whole lot of crap fonts, hence the mod.

So if it's of no use here I will let this thread slip into oblivion...

[HD7 General] amr h:
hi

I have some Q:

1- Is there a difference between HD7 and HD2 WP7 ?

2- Is there a difference between the two devices in response to touch ؟
[HD7 General] ST13Hogan:
a friend of mine has flashed his hd2 with wp7. it was as fast as my hd7. but he had some troubles activating the phone and installing the right certificates in order to get wp7 working correct (live account ect.). after fixing these probs the phone had marketplace access, was dev-unlocked and so on. he didn't try to update the phone via zune, because he flashed his hd2 to andriod.
[HD7 General] mobi:
I've had a HD2 for a while and have flashed the lot to it. WP7 on HD2 has a few hiccups. A few stalls but overall the experience is much the same. As I am beginning to learn with the HD7 is its a WP7 phone period. If you like flashing, customizing, making your handset your own, stick to an HD2. IMHO. ;-)
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
HD7 gives you the multitouch experience with WP7, HD2 does not.
[HD7 General] rsacipher:
At a quick glance no, they both seem to work the same but the activation was a PITA. I have the HD7 and I flashed my HD2 with WP7 and gave it to my wife. She can't get Shop Savvy to work because it can't auto focus that close to bar codes, that and no NoDo at this point even though it tells me there is an update available.

Other than that I don't see much of a difference.
[HD7 General] Bones4:
The HD7 has a much smoother touch response. You can "touch" the screen almost without even making contact. Scrolling and pinch to zoom also seems to follow your finger(s) very well.
[HD7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
HD2 has 16Bit Color LCD (65,000 colors)

HD7 has 24Bit Color LCD (16,000,000 colors)

As per specs on LetsGoMobile.com

HD2

HD7/HD7S
[HD7 General] THUDUK:
I use wp7 on my hd2, I tried one of my friends hd7 for a day and am extremely tempted to cross over to this device, but would just miss the diversity and dual booting wp7 and android.

But the problem with the hd2 builds of wp7 at present are multi touch doesn't work as well and in some games not at all, unless you hit the screen with both fingers exactly at the same time it won't multi touch, this becomes a real pain in games like pes2011.

Also the accelerometer is about 10 degrees out of sync, with no way to calibrate.

The camera will only auto focus if you hit the camcorder switch and then back trying to get a snap in as quick as possibly or you can use the camera application provided in the hd2 forums.

Overall performance was better on the hd2, but trying the nodo updated hd7 this is no longer as the hd7 now seems to resume games and applications almost twice as fast.

Forgetting multi touch issues the touch screen sensitivity are very similar, general fluidity of the operating system is the same.

[Atrix 4G General] CynicalDreamer:
I bought an Atrix in the USA but I'm living in the Netherlands. I was able to unlock my phone with an unlock code from AT&T, however the internet is not working. Calls can be made and H+ shows in the upper right corner but no connection.

After some research (*#*#4636#*#*), I saw that the band was USA and no other selection option were possible.

My question: can the band be changed to EURO in order to make the phone usable?
[Atrix 4G General] Shaydar:
Have you entered your porvider apn?

I bought mine in the US too and i created a new APN with my provider settings and it works fine.
[Atrix 4G General] CynicalDreamer:
Yes, I have entered the APN settings and verified them with Vodafone. Problem seems to really be located in the bands used.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
vodafone netherlands runs on 900 band and the atrix supports this automatically, you cannot change the band. if the phone is seeing the H+ then it already recognize your network you just have to make sure you use the right apn and have data enabled in your settings. also make sure there is a green circle next to your apn name, this enables the apn.
[Atrix 4G General] spline1:
You may have not activated CDMA in * # * # 4636 # * # * (Phoneinfo) you need to make GSM Auto (PRL)

(CDMA is only U.S. Baseband) in Europe we have WCDMA
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
wcdma is 3g in north america. ive been using wcdma only setting to stop my phone from going to edge
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks

Change the "Select network" to automatic if it's not already.
[Atrix 4G General] EclipseX:
download apn internet on off =)...its work for me ....
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
CDMA is not in the atrix. we use WCDMA just like europe.
[Atrix 4G General] rjohnstone:
AT&T uses WCDMA as well.

We don't use CDMA, that's Verizon.

EDIT: dLo beat me to it. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] CynicalDreamer:
Still no luck...

1. WCDMA selected as preferred network type.

2. APN triple checked and activated.

3. H+ showing in upper-right corner.

4. Enabled roaming in the data manager to make sure this wasn't blocking anything.

5. Tried SIM in HTC Wildfire with same APN and network settings => WORKING

Any more ideas on what is blocking my internet?? :S
[Atrix 4G General] CynicalDreamer:
It seems that putting the Atrix on WCDMA preferred is not working, it will automatically switch back to GSM....
[Atrix 4G General] CynicalDreamer:
I still believe the fault is located in the inability to set the bands to EURO or even automatically. You can only select USA here... If there is anyone who knows how to change this, maybe give a direct command to the modem, I will express my gratitude using paypal :D
[Atrix 4G General] _Dennis_:
Did you activate the phone in the US? like did you put in AT&T SIM and turn it on? I had the same problem with my phone when I activated it in us, i'm waiting on a new one that has not been activated in US.
[Atrix 4G General] CynicalDreamer:
I unlocked the phone in the Netherlands with a Vodafone SIM. Tried using a SIM from a different provider just now: T-Mobile = working!

Now I have to figure out what the difference between T-Mobile & Vodafone is.... Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] eval-:
I have none, sorry... I use O2 here in Germany without problems. Unlocked in US. Activated and used a US (AT&T prepaid) SIM for a while before coming here, too.

What I HAVE learned (the hard way) is that different SIMs FROM O2 will have different APNs. I.e., O2 prepaid options have different APNs than their contracts.

My network type is GSM auto (PRL) and I don't have problems going G->H+
[Atrix 4G General] _Dennis_:
Hum....maybe getting a replacement phone wont help me then. Oh well its on its way already.
[Atrix 4G General] CynicalDreamer:
I looked into the APN differences but the one I used was the correct one, so that can't be the problem.

Had a long conversation with Vodafone yesterday. When they finally connected me through with an engineer this guy managed to explain it to me in this way: Vodafone has policies on what phones can be used to access their network, different models need to be accepted individually. Sometimes changes need to be made on the network. According to him this was the reason my Atrix has no internet connectivity in The Netherlands, the phone hasn't been released here and the network hasn't been tested with it.

Thing that I find strange is the fact that other providers in The Netherlands have no problem with internet on the Atrix...

To cut it quite bluntly. There isn't a rom that doesn't have a2sd or d2ext or what ever. You either put up with it or leave it alone.

[HD2 General] Urvansh:
Is there such a way that I could get transaction animation in switching between apps like other os?
[HD2 General] Marct77:
Yes by using Cyanogen Mod 7 in Android
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The OP said "like in other OS's" so I believe they already knew they could do this with Android. They are asking about Windows Mobile.
[HD2 General] Marct77:
So,why not give him an option rather than criticising my reply.... ? :confused::rolleyes:
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I was just pointing it out is all, in case you had missed it. I don't know of any app or tweaks that will give them what they want is why I did not give an option if I did I would have. I was not criticizing your response though please do not take it that way.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
:D:D:D:D:Dlololol.....
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
if you are talking about windows mobile, i THINK (really can't remember for sure) that the task switcher i used back in the windows mobile days (called "task facade") did some rudimentary animation when switching between running apps. however, i don't think it had any capability to apply the same animation effects when LAUNCHING an application from the quick links or from the start menu.

another option to consider within the windows mobile world is using "advanced config" to enable "menu animation" and "window animation" provided by windows mobile itself. i think these animations are typically disabled by default because they are kind of jerky and slow on most windows mobile phones, probably because the windows mobile UI is not hardware accelerated (to the best of my knowledge).
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ha I had forgot about Task Facade, I guess thatcis because I never got it to work lol. Here fiscal link to a page where you can check out and download thecl cab files for both Task Facade and 3D Alt Tab which are two animation type apps to change between running apps. Sorry I had forgot about both of them. Never got 3D Alt Tab working either, but both look cool.

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/users/downloads/page/3
[HD2 General] Marct77:
@T-Macgnolia - Explanation accepted,no worries.. :D

There are animations with Winstart,which is a Windows Start menu replacement,

but only as you open various folders and such like.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reddevil00:
Hi guys,

Let's me know if I post the question in the wrong forum.

I am developing an app that requires root permission. The only solution I found on the Internet is:

process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su")

However, this solutions only gives root permission to generated process, not to the app itself. I just wonder if anyone can tell me what I should do in this case.

Btw, I am already running a rooted ROM using CM7.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Hi,

I read more and more great games created for Tegra 2 devices. For example this recently:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...s-like-a-total-war-rts-for-your-tegra-tablet/

If I am not mistaken, you can not have that if your device does not run Tegra 2.

Not because your device is not capable, but simply because your device does not run Tegra 2. Probably they use specific code instructions, but this is another "sub-fragmentation" on Android :(

So, I would rather have Tegra 2 instead of Exynos just for this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] willverduzco:
Yeah... That's a notable downside to having many different SoCs, with a couple of different GPU architectures. Some fragmentation is inevitable. However, I'm sure that eventually adherence to OpenGL ES standards will be all that matters.

The quality of the TegraZone games (e.g. Monster Madness and Samurai II: Vengeance) is amazing. However, the Tegra 2 seems to have a pretty low fill rate (at least with regards to its use on a high res tablet). Luckily, after installing a modified kernel with cleaned up GPU code, my Tegra 2-powered XOOM seems to play games at high resolution much more smoothly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Zomby2D:
Up until recently, Tegra 2 was pretty much the only dual-core SoC on the block. With the newest Snapdragon and Exynos having much better GPU than the aging Tegra, developpers are gonna have to start supporting more than just Tegra, no matter how much money nVidia is pouring onto them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
Ditto. Exynos > Tegra 2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] letdoch:
After some months of usage i kind of like flash. But most of the flash videos in web are stuttering because of loading the videodata in background and play the video seems to much for the galaxy. The problem for that i think is that the videoplayback is faster than the videodownload.

Actually no problem so far. You can stop and let the video buffer. But here is the main problem of flash i think. The buffer seems in his size much to low.

Are there some possibilities to increase the buffersize of the browser, flash-plugin whatever?
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
If you were impatient and flashed a leaked SBF like and still wants to get the official update, here is a shord guide for you. I examined the 6.36.0 sbf and the code groups for CG31 and CG39 are the same as the leaked froyos so i flashed it on my phone running CM7 and it booted:) After it i downloaded the OTA let it install and now i am on the official 2.2. I can change it with the CM7 anytime i want and if i have to take the phone to the service restore it to stock 2.2:-) So step by step

1. If you are on any leaked froyo download the latest us eclair sbf(JORDN_U3_6.36.0) from http://www.and-developers.com/sbf:defy

2. Boot into the stock recovery and wipe

3. Boot into the bootloader and install the SBF from point 1

4. Let the phone reboot then go throught the motorola blur registration then setup a wifi connection.

5. Download the OTA (settings->about) and if the download finished let it reboot and install the update.

6. Enjoy stock untouched 2.2 T mobile froyo

hi is this only for US people or will it work in UK as well?

[Defy Android Development] vick33:
On which rom were you before? Did you wiped before flashing the sbf? I have done it myself many times.
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
i was on CM7 and i wiped and flashed like u said. it might be my phone.

EDIT:

well nevermind, looks like the screen is fried. it seems to have flashed but the screen wont display anything cause when i plug it in to the computer, i hear the little beep and the LED notification appears, but no display.
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
you cant burn the screen like that. If it beeps then you are ok. You should try flashing the nordic sbf for example, fom it i have gone fortth and back to the us froyo the way i described.

so what should you do:

1remove your battery and while putting it back hold volume up.

2 start RSD lite and connact your phone

3 if it is connected flash the sbf.

If the PC does not sees the defy then your battery is flat. Charge it with an external or try mcgyver, you cant brick defy with flashing.

Will this work if you flashed the 2.2 OTA then used a custom froyo ROM. I basically want to take this phone back to stock.

Finally a way for US users to return to FULL STOCK regardless of firmware

It worked!!!

I was on barbones 1.5.1 then went to a backup nandroid version of my original stock rooted. Was kind of buggy so I decided to try this

1. Wiped everything using the stock recovery

2. Bootloader and flashed nordic 2.2.2 and "skipped" the automated setup until the phone desktop appeared then waited until RSD said the phone "passed".

3.Wiped everything using the stock recovery again

4. Bootloader and flashed 2.1 JORDN_U3_6.36.0 then pressed "start" at the motoblur screen and waited until RSD said the phone "passed".

5. I then entered my motoblur info and "skipped" everything until I was at the android desktop. After syncing was finished (waited about 5 min) I proceeded to "Download the OTA (settings->about->system updates) and after the download finishes let it reboot to install the update"

Thanks "vick33" nice find!

Note:

I could not update the kindle app without it giving me unsigned package errors. My solution was to root and uninstall the oem kindle app.

Then unroot and perform a factory reset. The oem kindle app did not restore and I was able to install the latest kindle without errors.

No other issues have been found.

*** CONFIRMERD TO WORK ***Another solution maybe to update the kindle app prior to updating the phone to 2.2 via OTA. Possible the better way to go considering it does not require rooting or removal of a system installed bloatware.
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
i mean the screen doesnt show anything. screen is black, idk whats wrong with it. im not saying the sbf had anything to do with it, just saying the screen went out. i just turned it in anyways, so ill be getting a new one soon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomcat84:
After wiping or flashing a new Rom, I usually add my HTC Sense account under Accounts&Sync settings...

After doing that, Sense always automatically downloads and installs about 5-6 widgets from HTC Hub...

Is there a way to turn this off?

I had downloaded these widgets manually on another Rom, but didn't use them and even uninstalled them. Still, Sense redownloads them automatically on every new Rom... Kinda annoying.

Any help appreciated!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Skip putting in your gmail details at first boot.

Then untick the automatically restore apps option in one if the settings menus.
