[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
I haven't even heard any rumors about expected re-release date for gingerbread.

I was sure we were gonna get our gb back within two to three weeks, but my faith is fading very rapidly now.

Some people are expecting mid-May for re-release.

What you guys reckon?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrotune1200:
I reckon G00glez took their G1ng3rbr3ads back and are not going to release it again until 24 hours goes by without someone creating a thread and asking about it.

In all honesties, I'm patient as long as it's rock solid.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naeem786:
it's pulled buy google so i think it's because of patent infringements
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Patent Infringements? Seriously?

Unless there is a court order restraining Google from distributing Android, which there is NOT nor will there be in the future in my opinion, there is no way they would have pulled the release based on patent issues, which are never ending anyway for all companies these days. Also, GB HAS been released for other devices, including the Nexus S.

I would say it is far more likely to have been due to carrier integration problems, or that they recalled it to fix a relatively minor issue, such as the camera fix that was rumored, and the fix ended up breaking something else, and fixing that killed the wifi and so on and so on.

As it is JVB seemed a bit underdone for a final release. Hopefully we will get a better version all around, once they get around to putting it back in Kies. Could happen tomorrow, could happen next month....who knows. In the mean time, several of the custom versions are maturing nicely and the Kitchen is soon to move GB from beta to mainstream...so be happy and try those.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsa4041:
Samsung apps is offering an update. No serious change, but might be a sign for rerelease.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
AFAIK that was debunked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatDandy:
Nobody knows

I haven't heard any truly plausible reasons for taking Gingerbread of Kies again. I am currently running the Kies version (JVB) of Gingerbread and compared to the earlier Samsung releases the JVB is a dream to run on.

Yes there may be bugs in it, though I personally haven't run into to any yet, but all of the official realeses I have run so far, has had bugs in them, so no change there.

The only reason I can see to hold it back is that they are waiting until the SGS2 to come to market, so they don't have to compete with there own product.

Thats my two cents. :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatDandy:
Small update

I can tell you that the official release date of the SGS2 from one of the major carriers in denmark (TDC) is week 19 (the 9th to the 15th of may), which accidentally coinsides with the releasedate of branded Gingerbread on the SGS in Scandinavia.

Sources are here (This will give you a chance to work on your danish :D) :

2.3.4 is out so maybe that's the primary reason it was pulled... Will it return as 2.3.4?

**Simply Honey 3.0, UltimateGB beta7 kernel, JQ1 modem**

I have a feeling we'll see it as 2.3.4 with TW4 :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] PublicJohnDoe:
The Asus Weather Widget included with the Transformer is visually very beautiful, but (at least, for me) wildly inaccurate.

AccuWeather.com (the service behind the widget) isn't that "accurate" when it comes to Italy, and while the weather conditions are usually OK, the temperatures are off by 7-10 degrees (or even more).

Is there any other weather widget with comparable good-looking graphics, but based on another service (Google, etc.)?

The alternative ones I tried do work, but they've been created with a cellphone in mind, not a tablet, and so they are pretty small...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] raerae28:
Beautiful widgets has a SuperClock Tablet widget in their package, that offers alot of skins for weather and the clock portion, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
When the phone is charging, and i try to use touch, i notice the input is jittery- try pulling down the notification bar on the top, and holding it half way down the screen and looking closely. Scroll with lists and hold your finger in once place - does the list jump around slightly?

Is it just me or everyone?

Maybe I should not use my blackberry charger at work! I will test with the samsung charger at home (the output voltage is the same as the samsung so it shouldnt matter!)
[Galaxy S II General] coincoinlapin:
I feel you man! Had the exact same problem with the original Galaxy (i7500) - my unofficial charger made it impossible to type anything: heavy jitter.

Ccl: find a charger with the exact same specs...or just use the official one / or usb cable.
[Galaxy S II General] 9mmpistol:
No problems here. typing this using swype While charging and its faultless!
[Galaxy S II General] phusebox:
Well it's better than my Desire which gives you a static charge or electric leak somewhere when charging and you touch the metal bezel.
[Galaxy S II General] ragiut1:
i read something about this issue in the user manual, the PDF one somewhere in this forum

look it up, and read the battery or charging section
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
Have the same exact problem with my Original Galaxy S when using a "not-samsung" micro USB charger, with the obvious difference that my screen became completely unusable not just "jittery", it didn't respond to any touch when charging it with that charger.

Use official charger and it'll be fine !
[Galaxy S II General] xsaintzx:
Yup it is mentioned in the user manual, it said the touch screen may not function well due to an unstable power supply. I guess it applies to all touch screen phones.
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
thanks for the input guys and hopefully this will clear it up for anyone else confused by this.

Last question - am I damaging my phone by charging it on my blackberry charger?

Only one I have at work which is why I ask,

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
While I cannot confirm whether it will damage the SGS II or not, I can certainly say that when I used to use BB Chargers to charge my Motorola Razr among others that were Mini USB, they ended up ruining the battery life and giving me false readings about the percentage left.
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
Personaly I would not take the risk for my beloved 600€-phone ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Fornowagain:
Yeah. But is the current the same? It may not be supply enough amperage for stability.
[Galaxy S II General] eroracing:
Thats funny my iPhone 3GS does the same thing.
[Galaxy S II General] benjatt:
so much for standardising chargers...
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
I dont know - I just tested and the same thing happens with my old Samsung Galaxy S 1 charger . hmm.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
(my phone works just fine.(only while charging via pc). it does jitter when you charge it through mains.
[Galaxy S II General] chizzwhizz:
voltage converter?

Since I live in the US and ordered a UK model, will i need a voltage converter + plug adapter for my charger or will a simple plug adapter work just fine?
[Galaxy S II General] sarsh11:
This phone has capacitative touch screen, and I believe this works on the principle of changes in electric field upon bringing a conductor(read "finger") near the charged display. I suppose during the charging process the leaked current is interfering with this electric field causing those above mentioned problems. Might be substandard charging adapters?
[Galaxy S II General] vinokirk:
Same problem on my Dell Streak! A good thing to test it is Swype! The line your finger makes when typing goes all over the place!
[Galaxy S II General] Fornowagain:
It'll charge over the usb lead from a PC or mains adapter just fine.
[Galaxy S II General] rouvax:
I always use pc to charge my phone is it ok ? will it be better charging from AC ?
[Galaxy S II General] QuboidRC:
I get this with the charger that came with it.

Charging from you PC is slower, but apart from that it is fine.
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
I even read that charging from the PC (500mAh instead of 1 Ah) would produce less heat, and thus be less harmful to the battery in the long term. Don't know if it's true though, and I often want my phone charged as fast as possible.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
update IT DOES JITTER when you charge through mains(wall socket) . with pc it does not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Heuser1:
Amazon seems to be sellling this phone unlocked for $519.00. My friend is in the US at the moment and i was planning on having them next day ship it to him (Miami). Is this a good deal for a new unlocked Inspire from a reputable place or could you all suggest some other places?

Thanks for all the help everyone! Looking forward to becoming a part of this forum.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I would recommend buying the phone locked for cheaper, and unlock it using the tools available in the dev section.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Heuser1:
Well considering I can't get it on contract, do you know where I might be able to find it at an off contract price that is less that what I listed above? Thanks for you help!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
479 at amazon without contract.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
cant you walk into any ATT store and pay full price for it at 399 dollars? thought it was 400 dollars full price at ATT stores...
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
+ tax as well.

Inspired from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
AT&T raised the price to $450 a few weeks back, in fact every smartphone went up $50. Plus tax as well... Better off ordering through Amazon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Heuser1:
Actually would have had to order it pretty early this morning to make sure it got to my friends hotel in time before him leaving. So I might just have him walk into an AT&T as you have suggested... Doesn't seem like it will be too much of a difference. Thanks again everyone! Have all been greatly helpful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OHDUSER:
is there any UK retailer that could sell the sgs2 but in payments? I cant pay for the whole thing... it means paying lets say like for example 50 pound per month..

is there any retailer that might do that or accept such kind of payment? =/

please help me out as I really wanna switch from this Omnia HD of mine..:(

thanks in advance

P.S

I live in Israel and not in the UK, if that will change anything...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OHDUSER:
none..? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightMAREcrow:
I'm not trying sound sarcastic, but would they not let you order with a credit card? Paying that off in installments.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OHDUSER:
huh? what do you mean?

I meant credit card, but in payments.. like paying 50 pound per month instead of the whole 440 pounds in 1 hit (1 month)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fornowagain:
Last time I looked that's kinda how credit cards work, you buy it in one go and pay the card off as you can afford it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OHDUSER:
weird because I'm always getting charged in 1 hit.. no matter how big the charge is..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fornowagain:
Well of course you're going to get charged the interest on the full amount, but it's up to you pay down the capital. Even if you did find a UK supplier with a credit agreement, it would be the same and probably cost more. You won't get instalments.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
I think the OP is referring to a hire purchase agreement? rather than the entire amount being charged to his credit card in one hit, and then making monthly payments to credit card company. At least, thats my take anyway. If I'm right, then I think he is out of luck, as most hire purchase agreements require some sort of credit check?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
No idea how credit cards work in the UK but in Austria you get a monthly statement, to be paid immediately and in full, while in the US they seem to work more like giros.

But anyway, OP, if you can't afford the phone don't buy it. Consumer loans for something that isn't an investment (own flat / house, maybe a car) are a really bad idea.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fornowagain:
Yeah that's what I was referring to, a credit agreement where they split the cost of the item and include interest. So a fixed amount each month until term, but even if he could find one it would cost a bomb and not for an overseas buyer.

What you have to pay the entire balance?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
Yep, it's even debited automatically from a regular bank account / giro, so it's only a credit card insofar as you only have to pay once per month. My point was, what a credit card actually is differs a lot, usually on a country-by-country basis.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fornowagain:
Now that would make you think twice about buying. It's all too easy over here to have a dozen cards maxed to the limit and just pay minimum balances of a few quid. Not only that, they're always increasing the credit limit. One card I've had a small balance on, only a few hundred on and off has a limit of over £20K. Never asked for it.

[EVO 4G General] jdiaz613:
Goodmorning,

I did a good few searches and could not find an answer to my delima. I am pretty informed about rooting and flashing ROMs. What happened was I already had a phone rooted and mikroms 4.61 but needed to exchange it due to a bad camera. I recieved my new evo 4g (hardware v4...hboot 2.10) and rooted it with unrevoked. Everything went will and was rooted within minutes. I then went to downgrade the hboot (this is where the problem began). I followed the same instructions I did with my previous evo (I believe it was hardware v3) and did the update, did not reboot, installed the .zip file. I then went and wiped everything (Full Wipe). Dalvik and Cahche as well. I then went to install mikfroyo and everything seemed ok. I them went and rebooted and now I am stuck on the bootloader. The hboot is still 2.10 but it has s-off. I tried a RUU, the RUU finds the evo and reboots the phone. Then the RUU cannot get to the bootloader. It stays waiting for a good minute but can't seem to find the bootloader even though the phone is on the bootloader. All drivers are installed properly as I checked the Device Manager and no question marks come up. Any ideas would be fully appreciated. Thank you. :confused::confused::confused:

By the way...I cannot get into Recovery either. When I choose that option it just heads right back to the Bootloader screen.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Why would you downgrade the hboot?

I know people have dome this to try and solve issues with their phone not booting at all, but to just do it?? Why?
[EVO 4G General] jdiaz613:
For some reason I thought the evo would just function better with the previous hboot, doing nandroids and flashing ROMs. If I didn't need to do it I would not have even looked that way. Guess I am not as experienced as I thought. I just did that because it worked well with my previous evo. I hope I don't have to go to sprint and replace it again for my ignorance. There's other phones that have true issues that deserve to be exchanged next to mine.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Your phone is bricked. Try fastboot devices, if you get 123456789012....your screwed. You now have bad blocks and partition info is mixed up. Sorry.

[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
All the HTC devices get custom roms 2 or 3 days after they are rooted.

Optimus 2x got its first custom rom 24h later

Arc...huhuhu :(

Really guys if we didn't have the big help of external dev(who haven't the Arc) to let us root the Arc we would still be waiting for it.

I am beginning to be afraid the Arc will not see soon any custom roms, we simply don't have any dev here :eek:

I sold the N1 because I trusted the Arc to have roms after its rooted, but I am afraid that even the SGS2 will have one before us...and that really piss me off

Sorry if I look too impatient but after the custom roms experience on N1, I hate to stay with the same rom too long
[Xperia Arc General] hung77:
I think you have to forget custom roms for the ARC. there are no devs which is interested in this device. This is actually very sad, i have said this before in another thread and some people think i am crazy.

I mean look at the member views in the dev thread, there are not many, it is always between 30-40 viewers. That's not a good sign.

I am strongly thinking about a SGSII,
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
SGS2 is very good but I feel more attracted to HTC DHD or Sensation...in case nothing changes for the Arc.

You never go wrong when an HTC is rooted over XDA ;)
[Xperia Arc General] hung77:
I am not thinking about HTC anymore because of the bootloaders
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Rumors are saying that only the Incredible and Desire S will have this horrible thingy, as for Sensation nothing is sure yet.

Some people will have it on May 12 so we just have to wait and see ;)

By the end of May we would know if the Sensation is the new XDA messiah or not :D

Only a couple of weeks but it's killing me!

Who knows perhaps Paul Obrien will release a rom for the Arc next week, I understood he's planning to buy it too, but in another hand SGS2 will take all of his free time
[Xperia Arc General] yousif666:
What i am afraid of is when the SGS2 come(alot of people have it now) no one will look in to the arc and that what scares me off.

will wait for a custom rom but if the sgs2 arrived and got custom roms then arc wont get one. and i might think of getting the SGS2 later on.
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Maybe, are you planning on producing one this year?
[Xperia Arc General] fig_jam_uk:
I too look forward to custon roms, but I wouldnt say im pissed becaise other devices may get one 1st, if its so annoying learn how to compile one for yourself and post it.
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Oh I wish I had the knowledge to do it!

I would port Sense...
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Some stats: 257 downloads for my modded statusbar.

It's even higher than what I got with the same mod in N1 section for the same amount of time!

So I deduce that we have lot of Arc users here but we just need devs with linux knowledge...and that's the main problem!

Even X10 devs are gonna buy the SGS2 or Sensation :(

I feel like I bought an iphone, many users but no dev!
