[Milestone 2 Android Development] anupash:
is this update available for all ... because I am on stock rom and still nothing when i checked for update ...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] caeci11ius:
It's only for the five European versions listed in the first post...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] chibani:
I've successfuly updated my phone.

I just had to rollback using the sbf file ^^
[Milestone 2 Android Development] parkerbol:
Hi chibani,

How did you proceed for french update ? what sbf did you use ? OTA ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
Since titanium backup can backup both apps and their data, so i suggest using it instead of others like appmonster.

I chose "backup all user apps".

Are you using stock Asia retail rom now? did you installed the droid2 bootstraper? perform a full backup in the CWM recovery so you can restore it anytime if your device need maintenance.

I only wipe cache and flash the 2.2.2 via RSD Lite, did not loss any data:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] chibani:
I used 2.2 Service sbf ( http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 ) to "reset" my phone (because I was using argen2stone and the moto update tool didn't recognize my phone).

Then, I downloaded the motorola update tool and applied the update.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] keylight65:
Which version for Italian M2?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MegaBubbletea:
Is there RSD Lite for Linux?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] caioketo:
Is there any chance that it works on brazil?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scald88:
Hi caioketo;

I think Brazilian update not released yet.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scald88:
Hi there,

You can use MSU (Motorola Software Update) tool for this updates.

D'load Link : (replace spaces with dots)

https:rsddownload motorola com/download/Motorola_Software_Update exe
[Milestone 2 Android Development] caeci11ius:
If you want to give this a go on an Australian phone, here are the things you need to do to get the keyboard working properly (so it doesn't type like a UK keyboard, with Euro/Pound instead of Tab/Dollar):

Download the attached file

Download the UK retail version of the ROM

Download and install the Android SDK (you need ADB) (including Java JDK if required)

Flash UK ROM

Restore to default settings

Use GingerBreak earlier in the thread to root your phone

Open a command prompt and change directory to the where you installed Android SDK. Open the android-sdk\platform-tools directory. This is where ADB is located.

Enable USB debugging and plug your phone in

At the command prompt type "adb shell"

Make sure your phone screen is on. At the command prompt type "su", press enter and accept the SU request on the phone.

At the command prompt type "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

At the command prompt type "cd /system/usr"

At the command prompt type "chmod 777 keylayout"

At the command prompt type "chmod 777 keychars"

At the command prompt type "rm keylayout/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl"

At the command prompt type "rm keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin"

At the command prompt type "exit", then type "exit" again

Back at the windows command prompt, type "adb push <full path using /s>/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl" "/system/usr/keylayout/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl"

At the windows command prompt, type "adb push <full path using /s>/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin" "/system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin"

Then start up ADB again by typing adb shell

Make sure your phone screen is on. At the command prompt type "su", press enter and accept the SU request on the phone.

At the command prompt type "cd /system/usr"

At the command prompt type "chmod 755 keylayout"

At the command prompt type "chmod 755 keychars"

At the command prompt type "mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

At the command prompt type "exit", then type "exit" again

And you're done. Phew. Hopefully I didn't make any mistakes in that. Worst comes to worst, reflash the same way you did with the new firmware using original Optus firmware (which of course you made sure you had before you played with your phone, right????) and then reset to defaults and you should be fine.

Hopefully that will save some of you the few hours it took me to work this out.

New ROM seems faster than the default Optus firmware (and I haven't even removed the **** from it yet). Hopefully I won't have any radio trouble (so far so good). Enjoy folks (and screw waiting for bloody Motorola to put out their updates so slowly)!

(Note: This process should work for any phone keyboard version. If you want to do it, while your phone is still on stock firmware use the "adb pull" command to download your .kcm.bin and .kl file and substitute those for the ones in the file I attached).

Don't forget to hit "thanks" if I helped you :-D. I often wonder if anyone gets any use out of these things when I go to the trouble of posting them. If you like them, be sure to let me know!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] portals:
Yes:sbf_flash

Is work great from root.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dymonaz:
Two things I did not know before using this app, which took me a moment to sort out:

* you need to reboot into bootloader (hold keyboard up while turning on)

* you need to run this with sudo

Phone now upgraded, off to test :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ncc74656:
Did anybody notice random restarts or temporary unresponsiveness on this rom? In my opinion Argen2Stone is still much better than this.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
Has been using this rom for a few days and never experienced random restarts or temporary unresponsiveness. And much smoother and faster than Argen2Stone 1.9, I think 2.0 which base on brazil 2.2.2 will become even smoother.

did you wipe cache before flashing this sbf?

if it still have problems may be you need a full wipe
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ncc74656:
Yes, I did wipe cache. Just noticed another issue, while using data transfer (email, www..) it isn't possible to call me. On the other phone it keeps telling that I'm out of network range.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
Are you using GPRS/EDGE to connect the internet?

As in my city, some carriers had issues about dropping call during data transfer in 2G before.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mkmck:
I noticed that as well. I had this problem a few times :confused: I also have a problem with data disconnecting (same as on 2.2) and I don't know, it depends on whether I'm using Widgetsoid to turning on data connection or it wasn't fixed with this update :( Maybe it's happening because of changing GSM transmitters? Yesterdey it had been disconnecting 3 times in 15 minutes data using when I was going home by train
[Milestone 2 Android Development] the_icebear:
I can someone who already installed the update please tell me if its possible to sort contacts by last name now ?

best regards
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ncc74656:
Yes, that happens only on 2G. I didn't experience that on windows mobile phone. Would this be an android bug or faulty hardware?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
are you using the same carrier on your previous WM phone? It is the limitation of 2G network that cannot simultaneously have phone calls and data transfer.

coz one of my friends was using WM phones with 2G data plan also have the problem of dropping call during data transfer a few months ago. That carrier had then set the phone call as first priority and my friend never experience drop call when browsing the Net again. So i think it should be the carrier problem instead of phones:confused:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Moody:
I can confirm that this is not an android bug, having owned 2 android phones before the milestone 2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ncc74656:
I used that WM phone with the same carrier, just swapped sim card. I'll ask their customer service about phone call priority.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] wultan:
My wife's M2 is also experiencing random restarts with the new UK firmware. For those who do not experience it, put a password lock on your simcard. So when the phone restarts, you will have to key it in.

We did not see any restarts because we did not catch it happening.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mkmck:
I have no problem with random reboots on 2.2.2 in contrast with 2.2 which was restarting quite often.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] nanava:
I have no restarts until now (app 4 days running 2.2.2 UK version).

However I have the feeling that the phone is snappier but the battery wears out a little faster. Maybe they keep the CPU running at a higher speed for a longer period of time ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] algarues:
In my case everything now runs really smooth and really fast (i changed the launcher anyway and killed the motorola toggles which take up loads of ram)

I had to do a couple of factory resets (by the way I lost the "advanced" entry at the boot menu) .

However, the battery gets extremely warm if I do some network activity using the cellular network
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
My phone didn't experienced random reboots either

the phone has boot up for 70 hours from last boot.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] the_icebear:
hi

which kernel version do you have after the update ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
mine is

2.6.32.9-g6685cb4

a17935@zin22lnxdroid25 #1
[Milestone 2 Android Development] the_icebear:
thx WongJames, just wanted to be sure that kernel has not been changed.

I applied the update now, but dont see any difference -

rooted again with superoneclick + the tun module still works for openvpn.

Only sad thing: The contact app still has no option to sort by last name .....
[Milestone 2 Android Development] diditnya:
Updated with Motorola Milestone1 Multimedia dock, confirmed sucess for my Motorola Milestone2, now running faster...

[Milestone 2 Android Development] kezs:
hey folks.

has anyone successfully applied any sort of update though "motorola software update" in brazil?

"update manager" doesn't recognize my M2. "software update" reads the phone data, lists an IMEI number and "N/A" for operator and model number. USB debugging is on and the auto configuration script is unchecked on Internet Explorer.

is this how it's supposed to be or am I doing something wrong? this happens on my desktop and laptop, both running Win7 64.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] skulljoi:
i think that update is not applied to brazilians phones, and is not realy 2.4 its 2.2 with an fix updates it is froyo
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RDUKE7777777:
2.4.24 --> Moto Firmware Version Number

2.2.2 --> Android Version Number included in Motos 2.4.24 Firmware. Its just a coincidence that both begin with 2.XX
[Milestone 2 Android Development] kezs:
I know. It's just annoying that I can't get the latest android (2.2.2) with bug fixes and the latest kernel, plus blur 2.4x, just because motorola is too lazy to make it available to the brazilian market.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yann2011:
Hello all,

I just want a little info about the network signal that displays in the notification bar. My phone mobile network setting is on GSM/WCDMA auto. Normally in phone info it says that the network type is on HSDPA. Today i noticed that i lost all signal bars and the network type says UMTS.

Does the lost of all signal bars mean that i have no more 3G and have reverted to the next lowest network mode but can still receive/make a call (i didn't test it) or simply does the signal graph scale with the current network mode or is it global?

Signal strength was at -101 dbm, i change network mode to GSM only, i got all my signal bars and strength was at -79 dbm

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] xda-alberto:
Hello, I made some months ago ava for world wide the PhotoWeather app on windows phone 7.

My ideia was to make app for a quick view of the weather like if it was a widget since i am used to my android based widget home screen.

To fill the gaps of such a simple app, I decided to add some photos from panoramio related to the place.

My first problem was to find a good free service provider that could cover all world, and I must say it as hard to find and still I don't believe the actual solution is the most accurate.

It's very difficult to find a good weather provider with accurate info that supply that same for free.

My live tiles are also obtained via the service provider, they are very basic as they are the weather condition from the last retrieved location.

When microsoft start's supplying the weather info from bing api I guess I will switch to that service.

mean while, if anyone can help me with a good provider.? thanks

PS: Really I'm not advertising my app (since didn't followed the template). It is quite old now, and I guess it achieved the most of the downloads possible lol.

I have new apps coming out, and those I intend to advertise, if possible.

Thanks

thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuclark:
Its a problem with Gingerbread :(

The HTC_IME stopped working (on email) on my SGS when I loaded the first Gingerbread ROM leak. It's never worked with any of the subsequent ROM leaks either.

... so, seeing as SGS2 also uses Gingerbread, this will be why it's not working :(

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareth Iwan Jones:
I took hold of my transformer yesterday and love every aspect of it bar one.

The one issue that means I'm probably going to send it back is the Honeycombs inability to hide the system bar.

I really only purchased the tablet to use as a portfolio device (I'm a photographer). I wanted to take advantage of the high resolution screen to show off my images at 1280x800 but the system bar sits on top of everything totally ruining the look of images/video. Not being able to hide the system bar is a huge oversight by the Honeycomb developers and sadly probably means I'm going to have to switch to a bloody I-pad 2, which I would prefer not to do.

Does anybody know of any tricks to hide the system bar?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeldave:
I dont have my transformer/honeycomb yet but when i look at images/videos on my xperia mini pro using the gallery app they are full screen.

You can try using LauncherPro because it has a 'hide notification bar' setting in the preferences. Not sure if it just works for the homescreen or all apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
There are apps that let you force full screen mode.

Also I use it for showing my portfolio and the default gallery fades the icons. Besides I can tell you showing your portfolio on this generally is not a good idea, unless its just a quick show, don't ever use it for interviews.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareth Iwan Jones:
What are the name of the apps?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareth Iwan Jones:
I've seen the hiding of the icons but it still leaves a large black bar across the bottom of the screen. The images need to fill the screen.

Why is it not a good idea to use this as a portfolio apart from the system bar problem?

Also I've tried a few other launchers ADW and Launcher pro neither of them can hide the system bar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
It's good for a quick show at lets say a get together, but for an interview or client the screen really isn't big enough to see the details for most people. Maybe you can because you're used to it, but other people tend to have trouble with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareth Iwan Jones:
I see what you mean.

Do you know the name of any of the apps that force full screen?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
haven't looked at specific gallery apps that do it but I know a few other apps I use that can do it.

EDIT: The use of the tablet for portfolio needs is from experience by the way :) an instance where I did find it useful if I went to some launch party or similar to show it to people or when I'm touching base with clients to give them a rough idea of what it will look like (wireframes and such), I do photography and graphic design by the way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareth Iwan Jones:
Sadly I think I am going to have to accept defeat on this.

I'm sure someone will create a launcher that can hide the System bar in the future but I don't want to wait around for that to happen.

I'ts such a shame as otherwise it's a lovely tablet but with the system bar in the way the images will only ever be 1280 x 700 with a black line across the bottom.

I can not find any apps that force full screen they all leave the system bar in place.

Quick Pic was brilliant in fullscreen in Android 2.2 but Honeycomb has rendered it less effective.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
The system bar actually takes up 50px from the bottom, not 100.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareth Iwan Jones:
50px too many :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
The 3.1 SDK was just announced and provides developers with control of the visibility system items such as the bar. I suspect in a few weeks this will no longer be an issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gareth Iwan Jones:
Yes that does sound promising. It's just deciding whether to hold out...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
In the end it's more do you want android or iOS.

I do however own an iPad 2 and I gotta say the transformers screen is equal in quality, and has an edge over the iPad even with the black bar due to resolution and size.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd_sjo:
I'm having issues with the system bar too. I'm trying to create a PDF brochure/demo but the 50px bar ***** up the full zoom mode as the PDF pages are 1280x800.

I'm using ezPDF - does anyone know an alternative which can force full screen mode and hide the system bar? :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't make it unimportant.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Yeah, that extra resolution is awesome...

I go back to my iPad 2 and I really notice it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowhatch:
true, however, returning a device that is 3 weeks old, with brand new firmware, because 50pixels worth of the screen is displayed when you are demo-ing photos is a tad ridiculous. Demoing hi-res photography on 1280x800 10'' screen is already ridiculous, but i digress. How much extra detail is the client really going to experience from 50 pixels worth... come on now, its just plain ol' *****ing. And the smooth reference of 'well the ipad2 doesn't do that' rubbed me the wrong way. Ipad2 is a great device, maybe the OP should return his TF and get the ipad2:rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheema:
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab recently and was seriously bummed out to see the retarded behavior of the photo gallery.

The built-in gallery works right on my Samsung Android phone. And it hits all the right notes on my Galaxy Tab 7" as well. Just as it did on my ipad.

Honeycomb gallery is extremely dumb. It just makes me mad every time I have to use it.

I guess I'll have to just write my own. Watch for it on Android Market in a few weeks. I might as well start taking feature requests and name suggestions for the app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
bi think it's a valid concern.. it'd be nice to have the ability to hide the bar... but isnt the ipad a different dimension that will screw up your presentations anyway??
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheema:
For me at least, the dimensions are not a huge issue. I can resize my photos to the exact dimension for a presentation. The ugly borders on 3 sides however, I cannot anything about. To make matters worse, gallery, at least on my Galaxy Tab shows thumbnails after I flick to next picture. I really do not want it to do that. I want it behave like all the other normal tablet and phone galleries out there. Unfortunately it provides no means that I can identify to disable this annoyances.

I understand that these are things that only people who are very particular about their photos may care about. And an average consumer could give two hoots about the whole thing.
