Just did it wit my i9000

It was a bit tricky on the touch buttons and then on the center button with all that glue and sticky ribbons, but all works and mostly - looks like new!

Also it was a good opportunity to clean tons of dirt...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] zmagas1:
What kind of glue do you used?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SGT_Watkins:
Hey all, sorry this is a noob question, but I am a U.S. soldier who is to be stationed in Germany for 3 years on Thursday. Originally I was going to wait until I got over there to get a phone, but after seeing the prices compared to what I can get here I decided against it, and my buddy told me about buying phones here in the U.S. and unlocking them to put on German networks.

Well my question is if I buy the HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T or Samsung Captivate (or any Quadband droid phone that takes a sim) without a plan, how would I go about getting the Unlock code (cheapest way possible) and would it be 100% certain to work over there as it's quadband and takes SIM cards?

Anybody else's sense in springfield missouri not updating I have 2 inspires mine rooted and my girlfriends stock for now both will not up date weather sense clock just says no weather data available but if you look it up it shows the weather to Springfield,mo won't up date on location clock just wanted to know if anybody had the same problem

[Android Apps and Games] TheHollywoo:
I have a Sidekick and its Meh at best, this has some great overlay features for Touch Whiz (I am a touch whiz fan), but sadly its going away for the G2X.

It would be nice if someone could RIP the Lockscreen from the Sidekick for use on other androids, its one of the best and some of the notification features would be highly popular.

I know this phone will be great for others, and I hope to see some goodies from this

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awca22:
Hi I sent my Samsung Vibrant to service because my phone's usb wasn't working, and when I called them about what was wrong with it they just told .... that they just fix it.. nothing else.

How much does it takes to receive my phone again? The phone arrived to Samsung on April 20 and they sent me a tracking number on April 29 but that tracking number is not working at all....

I want to know from people that sended the phone to service how much does it took for samsung to repair and ship yours... and if they said what was wrong with the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey,

I am an Oxygen user and before that I used to use LeeDroid, but now I want to try out MIUI XJ.

At the moment I'm running Oxgen 2.0.3 with the Oxygen HBOOT (=> S-OFF).

I have no idea what version I should use though. Would like something thats stable yet fast.

D2EXT/D2W/A2SD+?

Is S-OFF even useful when you run MIUI XJ?

Thanks in advance,

p1lot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You will need to change the hboot to something that fits the rom and also has a bigger cache. Although you should check out the requirements.

As for the rom it will say what comes with it, like a2sd or not.

[Hero CDMA General] rjhall:
I have this weird problem, and I can't figure out the cause.

Whenever I use my phone lately, it will randomly freeze/force close certain apps. It's super laggy. If I drag my hand/palm across the touch screen, it will stop lagging and perform all the touch commands that I had "queued" up. This seems to persist even though I just wiped+flashed my phone again.

I've got nandroid backups for my stock hero, CM6.1.0, and now I just wiped and flashed to CM7.0.2. Sitting in the CM7.0.2 setup wizard as I type this, and it's lagging like crazy. Is it possible my Hero is internally damaged somehow and that's causing the problems, or does it sound like software? My Hero has been through a LOT of bumps, some harder than any phone should have to endure.

Still, I'm strapped for cash and making the best of what I've got. Anyone got any ideas? Is it possible that I screwed something up using the adb shell when I was a little nooblet? And that said, is there anyway to wipe everything and start with a completely clean slate?
[Hero CDMA General] Houndog101:
I'm new here but I've had a lot of different problems also. What I do is RUU and start over. It fixes a lot of screwups on my part... if you have the problems after RUU with stock s/w then I'd have to say its your phone. Good Luck.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
First when a rom is starting up, it's likely to be SLOW, for 2 reasons, kernels need to "warm up" and the market is probably downloading a crapload of apps (this is a new feature). Second, it sounds like maybe you're device is running low on RAM, I would suggest you get an app from the market called "autokiller" and set the preset called "optimum". Third, go into settings/cm settings/performance and then set your governor to interactive 352-691 or ondemand 264-691. Fourth, go read a LOT of the threads in here and learn some stuff that will help you. Fifth, what recovery are you using and what exactly did you "wipe". Sixth, what do you mean could you have messed something up with adb shell?
[Hero CDMA General] rjhall:
1. Yeah I know that. I hadn't had this problem until the last couple months. Until then, it was more or less okay. The problem is, it really is a completely fresh rom.

2. The Hero is kind of a low memory phone to begin with, so that's certainly a possibility. 2.2 and 2.3 aren't exactly kind on old hardware.

3. I don't have those settings in 6.1.0. I was using SetCPU for awhile with it at 480-7XX (Can't remember, I think 791, as that was max) and OnDemand. I had some screen off, temperature, and battery profiles too.

4. Any specific threads I should read you can suggest? I was lurking on the forums for awhile before I did anything to my phone (didn't want to brick it).

5. I'm currently using Amon RA 1.6.2. I considered clockwork, but some people said it has more problems. I've heard complaints that Amon RA requires signed packages, but frankly it hasn't been a problem thus far. It actually saved me from bricking my phone when I was new to this whole thing. As for what I wiped, I simply went through Amon RA and wiped data, dalvik, battery stats and rotation. Don't know what battery stats/rotation are, but I am familiar with the Dalvik cache.

6. As for saying I could have messed something up, when I was flashing my phone, it was something I'd never done before. It's certainly possible I mistyped something or screwed something up.

I was hoping someone could help me to completely wipe it and start fresh, since I'm sure it's had its share of problems.
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
I would suggest flashing clockwork. You can wipe more areas of the system then the one you have. And it has more features. I personally made the switch.

As for your lag, it might be your hardware. If you did a clean install and wiped boot, system, cache, data, and dalvik, and installed the latest stable release and it's still laggy? Then things are not looking good brother.

You experience the same thing on a sense base ROM?
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
also it could be cpu govenors because usually by default most roms have it set to ondemand witch has always caused problems for me and as soon as i set it to performance its fine.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Are you aware that the performance governor runs at the MAX CPU speed all the time? Seriously. Your battery life must suck.

sent from a series of tubes.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
yea but otherwise my performance sucks lol.

most of the time on aosp and cm7 i cant even stream music without it freezing unless i set it to performance.
[Hero CDMA General] rjhall:
What is RUU? How do I do this? I tried to search the forums but it said search was unavailable. Would this return the phone to 100% stock, no recovery software or anything? That's really what I'd like to do now, to make sure there's not a trace of rooting or flashing left, that way I can start from scratch.

I tried using RomManager to flash Clockwork, and it still booted to Amon RA recovery. I'm going to try to use ADB to do it, but I don't know that I'll be able to.

EDIT: Manually pushed ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 onto my Hero.

Before I touch any of these settings, what will format boot, format system, formata data, and format cache do? Can it brick my phone, or will it let me flash a ROM onto a completely clean phone?
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
hmm thats very weird thats just about the only thing rom manager is good for now adays is installing cmr
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
You will not brick, that is how you wipe. You should also wipe dalvik cache. Go to this site for really good instructions :

www.romrepo.info/wiki
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
But please note when u wipe u "wipe" lol you will loose all your market apps and anything else installed just make sure you dont wipe sd card then youll loose all your photos and music backups exc...
[Hero CDMA General] rjhall:
So I downloaded the 2.1 update from the HTC website, ran it, and it completed with no problems. Phone booted up, and now I'm trying to go through the tutorial, lagging all the while. It's almost impossible to type.

Does this mean it's hardware related?
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
sorry for not posting sooner but lagg isnt usually caused by hardware the kernal probably has to worm up also is it the 2.27 software update or 2.3 because 2.27 lagged pretty bad anyway and if your typing with vibrate on keypress try turning that of it always helped me.
[Hero CDMA General] Houndog101:
I had to start from scratch several times and my phone was pretty snappy when I first started it up after RUU. Also you stated your phone was fine and then just started running slow for no reason, was this after it took a bump?
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
are you talking to me or rjhall lol
[Hero CDMA General] Houndog101:
sorry, RJhall..:o
[Hero CDMA General] rjhall:
I don't recall it taking any bumps before it just stopped working like it has.

However, I have found how to "fix" the problem. If I squeeze the sides of the phone in, it stops lagging and works. Any touch motions of queued up will then immediately execute. Any idea what in the phone is physically broken?
[Hero CDMA General] Houndog101:
Never had mine apart, maybe someone has and can help..:eek:
[Hero CDMA General] rjhall:
Okay so things have gotten increasingly weird. It used to be that squeezing the sides of the phone allowed the touch screen to work. Yesterday that stopped working altogether. Today, the screen stopped turning on at all. The LCD simply doesn't turn on. Pressing the red button turns on the phone (it vibrates when turning it on) and when the phone is on, pressing the red button lights up the keys (so I know it's waking the phone up). I took the phone apart (much simpler than I thought it would be) but I was unable to find anything that seemed out of place or broken. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
like the thread title says i have this problem.. my google maps is always "searching for gps" in the Navigation function :confused::confused:

few threads ago i was posted a problem with GPS STATUS or GPS TEST...

They were not finding any satellite...

later with the help of @superstick1 & @blbean i was fixed it... now these apk finds even 7 satellites!!!!(often LOL)

but Navigation continues without work.... some suggestion? :)

i was tested:

1-reinstall the apk. (not fixed my problem)

2-erase data caché OF THE APP only (not solved my problem)

3-fix gps sat. with gps status(not solved)but 5 satellites found...

4-use FASTERFIX.apk and then restart my machine (not solved)

EDIT: ufff! i´m desperate more tries:

5-flashed another recommened rom from coredroid thread: 12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3 (orange uk)but its weird because i´m living in spain (orange es) (NOT SOLVED MY TROUBLE)

6-flashed another kernel: from leedroid 2.2.9 to my current BUZZ 1.3.8.3 1.2 GHZ MAX(NOT SOLVED)

I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP BOYS (OR GIRLS :D)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLordVimes:
Have you tried using a different rom and/or kernel?

is the last thing that i desire to do.... :( because i´m a coredroid lover)

Before it wanted to try to save this rom (the one that is in my syg) in addition I have the recommended radio

more suggestions? thank´s:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
no one knows the problem?¿¿?

i tried that @lordvimes was recommended me, change the kernel but the problem persists now i have buzz kernel 1.3.8.3 version
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi SERGI.3210

We meet again. Lol. I notice from my own experience that if we often reboot our phone, the GPS state will be restarted. And hence it will take some time for the GPS to work again.

For example, I have once flashed LeeDrOid' v2.2.2 in the past few months(first time), and I got a fix very quickly. It will be within 5-15 seconds? At most it will take is 30 seconds. However, after I reboot for whatever reason(I forgot, but I am not flashing anything else), and the GPS takes more time to get a fix again. The situation got worsen when I am in the car to get a fix. Took about 5-10 minutes?? :mad:

But after some time, tolerating such slow fix(I know, its annoying) it suddenly get back to normal again. Which means I can get a fix very fast again.

Many has recommended the use of GPS Status app to clear A-GPS data and then download them back again. It works for them it seems, but in some to a large extent, it did not really work for me.

Maybe you can try Ulysee Gizmos app from the market? It has the capability to download A-GPS data as well. Recently I try using it and it seems to fix my problem once again. When was it? Last two days ago. Lol. Now it still work fine. Hopefully this continues.

I am still use GPS Status to get A-GPS data. Which means I am using both of them at the same time. Probably both apps does fires out some solutions? Haha. Me not sure but you can try.

Cheers mate. =)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
hey buddy!! how are you?!:D

okay i´m going to test this:

-1-clear A-GPS data of the gps status.apk AGAIN....if not solves:

-2-download Ulyse gizmos.apk and try it...if not solves:

-3-I will go to area discovered to trying... if not solves... maybe i will go to reinstall the all the apk relationed with GPS..and if it not solves that

-4-I believe that I will think of burning my DHD.. lolololololol:D:D

thank´s for you usefuls posts man..

see you soon here

EDIT: i tried to install another GPS NAVIGATOR (sygic) BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS... i´m really sure that the problem its that my device finds gps when he wants :(And if it is clouded less still
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
I am fine here thanks. Getting ready for work now. :D

In your case, the problem is nothing to do with the navigation software but your GPS cannot get a fix. It may due to hardware failure.

If the situation persist, probably you should consider sending your device to HTC for a check. But make sure you turn back your phone into normal state first. (i.e. unroot your phone)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theomech:
i pretty much have the same problem ...

5+ mins to lock my position ..

RcMixHD 5.5 and a changed radio... i will just burn it..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
with gps status and ulise gizmo, gets fix but ONLY WHEN THE DEVICE WANTS :mad::mad:

edit:i´m going to try CM7.0.2 and test gps again but i´m Considering to take it to the technical service....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
So you finally got a fix? Congrats! :D

Yea, try to send it to HTC for a check. By the way, again, remember to unroot your phone first before sending to them.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
good night buddy!!!!

i have soo good notices:D:D:D:D:D:Dx100000000000

THAKE THIS:

gps status:found 8 or 9 sat.

fixed in 62 segs.:eek:

google maps:working perfectly!

finding gps at the moment

15 meters position error max. (better than my htc hero:))

THE MEDICINE:

1--Though I feel sorry very much I had that flahs another CUSTOM ROM :(

2--Then I´VE flashed the recommended radio and was foun 3 or 4 sat...

3--and the most important: flash the RIL for this radio:D in this moment i was found 8 or 9 sat.!!!

the only one thing that i don´t like (nothing nothing) is the custom rom:

RCmix 6.1.0.1 (ported from desire s)

i´m COREDROID LOVER and RCMIX seems too simple but i preffer the good performance before beauty things...

Nevertheless when it does a few kilometres and tested well the GPS I will try with Leedroid (froyo) to see if I obtain the same results
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Good for you buddy!

Usually if you got a fix pretty quick, it will have errors ranging to 30-50 meters(that is from what I obverse based on my device that locks within 5-15, max 30 seconds). Then it will adjust overtime. Well, still better than doesn't get a fix at all. :D

Hmm.. RCMis HD6.1.0.1? The Evolutionary Sense ROM? I have not try that yet.. plan to try after my exam. Currently concentrating on my exam for this month. Also quite satisfied with my current flashed LeeDrOid v2.2.3 ROM now. Lol.

Probably will be trying Miui too. I would prefer staying with Sense ROM as there is unlikely to have Premium Navigation in Non-sense ROM. If I would to try other GPS apps, I will have to pay for it. Premium Navigation is free for life for me in Malaysia + Singapore. Also finding addresses with it is easier, unlike other GPS app.(i.e. cannot search address). Probably due to the names of addresses here. Here uses Malay names and not English.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
i want to go back leedroid 2.2.3 me too and test gps again

certainly you tested with this ROM kalagas theme?? its so so so cool!!! see you later i'm working hhaahah

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcp.Az:
EDIT: This is for X10 Mini Pro

Greets

So, I've looked around for a phone and while I can get other phones like the LG P500 (Android 2.2 capable) or the Galaxy 550 (cheaper 2.1), the keyboard, the whole design and all, it has gotten to me. I have a low-end touch only and it really annoys me to type with a touch keyboard.

So I've been looking around for all the goodies around and saving all the files on my PC, all organized and ready to be used. So far I've taken care of:

- Rooting the phone;

- Installing Link2SD, from what I read, 2.1 can't move an app to the SD;

- Installing Skyfire 4 so flash videos work.

Now, slade has a fully functional ROM out. How beneficial would it be to ditch the phone's 2.1 for this or any other ROM?

I've been keeping my eye on the CM7 ROM as it seems to be 2.1, right?

So, long post short, what else do you recommend and how beneficial is it for me to dive into the custom ROM environment?

Thanks

Az
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rzykerz:
It depends on ultimately what you want.

CM7

Fast

Camera LED doesn't work

CM6

Decently Fast

Most everything works (except Google Voice SIP and Angry Birds)

Custom ROM also doesn't have the SE SMS issue when a draft exists, it crashes SMS with the keyboard out.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
angry birds works on both cm6/7

also sms app doesnt crash on cm6 when keyboard is out.

which version are you using?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcp.Az:
Well, from slade's CM7 post, the camera is stuck at 0.3MP, right? I mean, I will be paying for a 5MP one. Is it fully working on CM6? Cuz I don't really care for the radio or ANT, will not be using those for sure.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Yes cm7 camera is still bad. In cm6 which is froyo btw it will work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcp.Az:
Your latest CM6 ROM is flawless, CM7 has bad camera, that's pretty much all I'd notice. So installing CM6 will give me 2.2. I guess that pretty much closes the deal, I guess I'll take your hybrid ROM and wait till CM7 is complete. CM7 is 2.3?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fr3akBut:
Slade CM6's ROMs (there's 2 flavours) are the most suitable for daily use IMHO.

The camera issues in CM7 prevent it from being a daily use ROM for me.

Almost everything is working perfectly in CM6... only bug i've found is when playing music for a while, sometimes phone crashes.

The great thing about playing with dev roms is that you can always revert back to your stock 2.1 backup (or any other backup) if you don't like it. So give it a try, if you don't like it, just revert back... takes a couple of minutes :)

:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcp.Az:
The backing up of the original ROM, is it with xRecovery?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fr3akBut:
Yes, install xrecovery... backup your current install, then play with dev roms until you're happy.... if you don't like whatever you've installed, then restore your backup with xrecovery again :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcp.Az:
Ok, thank you both, now, on to get the little thing!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jojobart08:
go get it! worth every penny. :) there are many roms that will surely satisfy your requirements.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ickata:
I've tryed only Slade's CM6 V2 rom and found that the camera performance is noteably inferior to the stock rom. I ll be happy if proven wrong.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ickata:
Well, my previous phone was an HTC HD2 which I ran with an android nand rom. Although it was quite a machine I find myself happier with the mini pro, the key points being the hardware keyboard, better 5mp camera and better music quality. Low points are the tiny screen and that the mini pro is slower and also the inferior battery life. Still though, I dont regret the change one bit :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcp.Az:
I mean, maybe better phones feel better, but I guess I am one of those people that won't feel good without the physical keys. I've seen some differences in prices from shop to shop, I found it a little weird. Like, 20€. But it's okay.

And MT is being worked on, I think awsomeness is on it's way
