howdo i get xperia x8 have the android 2.3 version?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pavanred:
2 methods-

1. Root your phone and flash a custom Xperia8 gingerbread ROM (am not sure if there is a gingerbread ROM out for Xperia 8 yet)

2. Wait for the official 2.3 update :P
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedarthraider:
I recently got a Fascinate from a friend and love it so far. I am running the comrom. I have installed a new battery and cleared battery stats.

I would love to be able to lower the screen brightness to extend my battery life.

I had a og droid with ultimate Droid rom on it. My battery life was easily 2 x what it is on my Fascinate.

Tips or opinions?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedarthraider:
I have that turned down already. I downloaded an app called Screen Filter that claims to save battery on oled phones. I am testing it now and I will start a new thread if it works at all.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agsded:
I'll second screen filter for massively lowering brightness, I use it at night so I don't blind myself checking my phone whennim in the bed.

Materialized into existence through the act of observation.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saps:
I also use screen filter. Very handy at night in the dark. Even with lowest brightness, I set screen filter around 30% . This is a very bright display
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyvallely:
I usually keep the brightness low and go into task manger and kill the apps I am not using. You could also turn the gmail, facebook, twitter, etc. sync to once a day and just check them manually. That together saves me 15-30%. Maybe you could get the extended battery as well if you can spend money.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizayne:
Thanks for the screen filter suggestions.. in the cm 6.2 rom its nice to be able to change the screens color with a filter..there is a red mode that works great at night..its one of my favorite things with this rom. It saves battery like no tomorrow since its only using black and red for lighting.

Anyone with a TB outage 3G/4G: dial (800) 922-0204 and put your number in. You will get an automatic credit. And they will text you. RT!
[Thunderbolt General] gbmitchell:
Edit: Actually, it says you have reached a non working number.
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
Tried to do it. Verizon rep says her system is not working at the moment due to the outage so I would have to call back later. She said its "unknown" if Verizon is going to credit people's accounts for this outage or not.
[Thunderbolt General] Smee342:
i called and was just a standard autmation. nothing about the outage or anything out of the norm.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
I'm on a biz account and we have 2 LTE devices out of 100+ lines. I have the Bolt and a Samsung Mifi (replacing an embedded 5720 in my laptop...can't wait for embedded LTE cards!)

I emailed my rep this morning about if they're going to do credits for LTE customers. He emails me back "since you guys are on the $20 unlimited data plan per line do you really want the 66 cents back for each of the two lines?"

I just can't be that much of a jerk. :p
[Thunderbolt General] hogowner:
I just recieved $3.00 credit on my $29.99 data plan......that is very fair......

She credited it to my account right away...I now have a balance of -$3.00 lol

it will show up on my next statement...

call 800-922-0204 and ask for your credit.
[Thunderbolt General] dhardison:
I dialed the number and received the standard automated greeting.

I pressed '2' just to see what would happen.

I received an automated response that a $4 credit was being applied to my account. <shrug> No directions on how to do it, but I got the credit, and received the text stating the same.
[Thunderbolt General] nyvideo1:
I just called and had to get a rep. I was offered a $1.00 credit! Whoopee Doo!

I just told them to keep it and it will remind me about switching to AT&T the next time.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Oh boy! An entire $1 credit!

You people are pathetic.
[Thunderbolt General] periclytes:
Nice! Thank you for the info! I just got a large credit (I have a few data plans on my account) :)
[Thunderbolt General] GoldenCyn:
For some odd, really odd reason, the automated message said the credit was for $325, and it will be on my next statement. This HAS to he an error. But if it works, I'm gonna use those saving towards a TB for the wife.

[Thunderbolt General] paladin732:
Pressing 2 gives an automated message? I had to just dial 0
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
So they gave you $1, which equals your time without 4g. Whats wrong with that? Should they give you the month free? Wtf is up with people? Do us a favor, go to at&t. People are dicks.
[Thunderbolt General] luniz7:
Why do people even want a $1 credit? Really? Yea it sucked only being on 1X but gees tight asses
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
And they really don't care, go to AT&T, go get your speeds capped because you don't have an iPhone. Go get a "4G" AT&T device and not even be able to use it because they don't even have the network up yet. Go to AT&T so none of us have to read idiotic posts like your's in this forum anymore.

You pay $30 a month for unlimited 4g... it was out for a day... 30 days in a month... based upon your dumb statement, i'm going to guess you can't do the math correctly, so i'll just tell you that it equates to about $1.00 a day. Make sense now?
[Thunderbolt General] svalle713:
Not bad I received 5 dollars credit for 1 and a half outage.
[Thunderbolt General] otto888:
:| I got a $70 credit when pressing 2. Not gonna question it, I'm just gonna take it.
[Thunderbolt General] nyvideo1:
I didn't want their $1.00 .... It's the principal with things they do.

A friend is also on the EXACT same plan and he got a $3.00 credit. So why do I get offered $1.00? One of our other corporate phone went 3 text messages over, and we got like a 30 cent charge.... so if they were offering $3.00 why not take it. If everyone asked for the $1. it would mean a lot more to them and maybe they would have a backup system. Hard to believe whatever failure they had took down the network for the entire country.

If idiots like you didn't take posts so literally maybe we'd be better off also!
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Ugh... if that corporate phone went over the texting limit then of course he's going to get charged 10 cents for every text. It's in the goddamn contract. :rolleyes:

Either way, a $1 or $3 is all they owe you. Why did you think you'd get more than that? What do you mean "the principal of the things they do?" VZW has some of the best customer service out of any of the providers. They've bent over backwards numerous times for me.

And it's new technology. 4G LTE has been up for what? A little more than a month? Of course there's going to be kinks to work out. Get a grip you idiot.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
ooooh $3.00... That $2.00 really set you off didn't it?

They offered you $1.00 and you gave them a smart ass remark, you are telling me if they told you $3.00, that would have said thank you and been happy :rolleyes:

You went over the txt msg limit and got charged extra, you signed a contract stating so. Nowhere in the contract for VZW does it say "if 4G goes down we will reimburse you "x" amount of dollars".

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vongikking:
I'm really sorry, I searched for solutions but didnt found one that fits my problem.

I'm a total newbie and ****ed up my phone in many ways. I started trying to install something it wasnt suposed to work on my phone (rom destinated to 9000 and stuff). I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000b (sold to latin amarica) and came from factory with android 2.2.

I'm now stuck with the black screen of death, no matter what I do I get this screen. It hapened after I tryied to install unsucessfully the original rom of the phone and odin presented me with an error.

Before I try any further I'd like your advices as how to procede regarding my 9000b. Pulling the battery out, putting it in again and holding either vol down or both volumes and either pluging the phone on usb or pressing power allways gives me the same result, the screen with phone exclamation triangle and pc.

So, before I buy a jig cable on ebay that will probably take 3 weeks to get here (Brasil) is there anything else I can try?

Please help me, I'm desperate and I dont want to take it to assistence, it would cost me much money and ruin all my courage in trying to use Roms.

Thanks alot and sorry for the bad english.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
so did you have the 3 button combination before this happened ??

have you tried to charge the phone whilst powered off, then when the phone gets hot, try download mode then ? sometimes this works, as heat can help download mode work.

another thing that has worked for SOME people, is leaving the battery out for 10mins, doing the 3 button combo, and whilst holding the 3 buttons, insert the battery.

you could try these and see what happens,

And 3 weeks delivery for the JIG is a long time, couldnt you make one in less that 3 weeks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
If you can't get into download mode, you are screwed until you get your hands on a jig, simple as that. Just wait. Patience is a virtue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vongikking:
Thanks in advance for the quick reply guys, I ordered the jig, estimated 20 days, usualy it takes the same amount from the central postal ofice to my home since they allways restrict packages from hong kong. I'm considering making one but I'm a total denial in eletronics.

I was able to get to download mode before this problem yes. I would just hold down vol and center key and then power. Now even when I plug it in to charge I get the screen with the exclamation.

Any more sugestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
no other suggestions other than whats listed above :(

looks like you will have to wait for the JIG to arrive.

Loner-phone here you come lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vongikking:
Then I have a couple of questions.

1) Since I plut it in directly on the power and still recive the same screen is the phone still charging? Or once the battery is over I'm ****ed up twice?

2) Is there any chance that the jig wont work or I in some way ****ed up my I-9000b permanently?

3) After I make/get a jig how should I procede? I heard about one-click odin, but apears that its for another model of phone, and since I got on all this trouble exactly for trying to do things to my phone that were suposed to be only for another model, I'm kind of lost.

Inputs?

Thank you all for already awnsering my questions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
1) the system is corrupted so the charging indicator will be too - thus leading to Phone ! PC image - this is the only image the phone can now produce

2) The 'JIG' has a 100% success rate - providing that the motherboard is not fried - which it isnt as it still shows an image

3) the jig is just a modified USB, just plug it into the phone whilst powered off and download mode will appear, and then you just attach your genuine USB cable and flash stock ROM thru ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vongikking:
azzledazzle Thank you very much for your patience, but since I`m a total newbie to all this, some of your awnsers I didnt understood fully, do you care explain me better?

Regarding question 1) The power indicator is corrupted, ok. But this means if my battery die out of usage it wont charge again or just that the indicator wont show that is charging but the battery actualy is charging?

and for question 3) Is ther any tutorial directed to I-9000 on how to use odin to flash a stock ROM ? like baby steps? After all that I'm even afraid to turn the phone on, so I would like to know exactly what to do. I`m cosindering asking someone with technical skills to help me on a home made jig.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
oh im sorry, i get carried away sometimes.

1) i assume the battery will be charging yes. only the phone will not be able to show this due to the corruption.

2) when you have made / bought a JIG (link below) you ideally want to flash a Stock ROM, you can get this from samfirmware (link below) and also on this site is a tutorial on how to use ODIN, its fairly easy if you just read the instructions provided.

Inside the file there are cache.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin param.lfs zimage

And how can I discover if I should use pit 512 or 803?

Hello all!

I've got my hands on a GT-I9000 today.

It's got 2.3.3 Android on it.

Wanting to install CM7, I was first of all trying to root it.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, thus I downloaded heimdall-frontend and the "Hardcore's SpeedMod kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery".

When I put my phone into DL Mode and connect it to my Mac, I can't write the image to it.

Heimdall is failing with "Failed to receive device info response!"

What do you ppl suggest me to do now?

one trouble still remains: after rooting the device remains in an infinite reboot loop!!!

Or at least any means to get back to a factory ROM?

I got 2.3.3 before flashing...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Try to flash the nightly again, should solve the bootloop-issue. ;)

Or you can wipe cache/dalvik cache, this helped me too. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlavioB:
Which nightly do you intend me to re-flash?

How do I achieve these two things?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Just take the latest nightly. To wipe the cache/dalvik cache you have to boot into recovery (hold volume UP + home button + power button. :)

Kaiten Mail = Tablet version of K-9 Mail - Anybody tried it?

http://www.amazon.com/K-9-Dog-Walkers-Kaiten-Mail/dp/B004UBB1G2

From Amazon Market:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mooja:
this is exactly what ive been looking for! thanks for this!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dfellars77:
Just bought it... so far, so good. I have not tested it with Exchange yet (I never could get K-9 working on our exchange server.)

Otherwise, the email preview pane is a good fit for the Nook (CM7) and even gives it a bit of an Outlook feel.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Until either Kaiten or K9 support Exchange 2010, these are a no go.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dfellars77:
Yeah, I can authenticate my exchange server, but no push email and I can't seem to properly pull email either.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Midnitte:
K-9 scales pretty well on the nc, how does this compare to it?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] davidukfl:
does this have anything that the Notion Ink email app doesn't?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Pyrot1c:
Just bought it, Like it so far :) I just use it for my gmail accounts and a small business so its great :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Yeah, I went ahead and got it. Better email client than the stock CM7 email, nice tablet layout and does push all for $5. Hopefully they will get true Exchange support in the near future so that I can use one email app for all my needs that is in tablet form (using Touchdown right now - Great app, wish they'd add imap support).

Ceger
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Good find...much nicer than either the stock email/gmail clients. Having the split-pane is what I liked about the email client in Honeycomb, which was lost once I went to CM7. Working well for me thus far (esp like option for a "Dark" theme) and not a bad price for $5.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] colorado_al:
Thanks for the input. I have been using K-9 for over a year now. Happy to support them with $5 and it certainly is worth it on the NC.

Purchased and installed. Similar to K-9 in settings and setup. Working great for my accounts. Much better interface with split pane, especially in landscape.

I like it!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] investinwaffles:
I love k9 email on my NC but it is not truly a 100% offline email app (wont cache images). I get a lot of deal emails and only have time to read them on my lenghty bus ride to work.

To do this now. I have to tether to my evo which is extremely slow and wastes most of my time I feel. I'm barely using any of my emmc space and this would be an excellent use of this.

Will this cache images in HTML emails? Would this be a difficult feature to implement? (would make it in my interest to buy the app and see if the developer could add that as an option)

Thanks guys, I'm mainly looking to make my nook more offline friendly so I don't have to rely on slow tether/mobiles data speeds. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] colorado_al:
I have heard that TouchDown for Tablets is good for Exchange:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
TouchDown is, however, a HORRID HORRID interface. I can't stand it. I'd rather use the browser. Seriously.

Are you sure it's by the folks who do K9 right now, or just one of the guys who used to work on it? I'm reading it as if it's one of the folks who used to work on it, ie: You're not supporting the free K9. But not that it's a big deal either way.. I might ask them about it, I hang in their channel all day anyway :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Using that for Exchange and Kaiten for Gmail. Like having tablet style software, but would prefer to run one email app with the tablet layout features.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Canadoc:
bought it form Amazon figured with all the free daily apps, I owed them.

Seems to work well. Not sure I understand the polling/exchange setup well. I have exchange setup and there is mail in my inbox.

Is it in fact doing push? or must I manually check mail compared to touchdown which only does exchange but does push
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Following up on Kaiten Mail, yes indeed, this is a commercial branch of K9 and will at some point in the future be maintained as parallel branches. I can only assume at this point that K9 and Kaiten will retain the same functionality and Kaiten will get additional work on top of that for GUI and usability.

IMO K9 is just fine as-is, it's not flashy but it doesn't have to be. That said, Kaiten does look nice on my tablet. ;) A few bugs to work out in it (hello splitters, stay where I put you!) but otherwise it looks really nice.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] obra:
Hey gang,

I'm responsible for Kaiten and indeed was also responsible for K-9 coming into existence.

To the poster who asked, no, I'm not a former K-9 developer - I'm still the project dictator ;)

I initially branched Kaiten from K-9 as part of a project I was doing for an OEM who wanted a "commercial" tablet-style mail client for their Froyo tablets. I can't say for sure when Kaiten's features will make their way back into K-9, but they will. If you're particularly desperate to play around, the current version of the Kaiten code (without the branding and under the same Apache2 license as K-9) is in K-9's git repository in a topic branch somewhere under experimental/

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
I'd like to get it but no google market is bad, not test drive enabled so no way to try before I buy, and I was not really a K9 fan. I would love to see a trial version, and would love even more to see an android market release.

With no try before you buy, no sale for me, sorry. With no google market, I will have a higher bar set for it, but it's not a deal breaker.
