[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brand111333:
I was looking over some stuff online. And I read this article, its about this guy who think Motorola will make the next nexus. He said Google said that they don't want to pick favs. And they started with htc then Samsung. So what's left? Motorola, LG, and then some other littler ones. I was also looking at the specs on the Droid 3 and they seem pretty nexusish to me. And remember right after the nexus one came out some one said the Motorola shadow was going to be the nexus 2, and the shadow specs are pretty close to the Droid 3s (besides duel core) . Now obviously they were wrong. And I might be too. But what do you think?

For those of you that flashed a bad radio to your NS4G, there is a fix!

Many thanks go out to Netarchy for relentlessly trying to fix my radio, and Shabbypenguin for supply Netarchy with his phone images both of them did a lot of work just to get my phone operational again Thank you very much!

Attached is the signed zip for you to flash in recovery. now listen very carefully before you complain that this didn't work for you. It did not work for me either, but it just may work for some people to flash in recovery, that is why i'm supplying a signed zip for you. What I had to do to get this to work is to unzip the file. inside there is a file called "radio.pr.img" boot into your bootloader and use the following fastboot command

fastboot flash radio radio.pr.img

that worked for me and hopefully it will work for anyone else that flashes a bad image.

Once again thank you to Shabbypenguin and Netarchy, and anyone else that may have helped out.
[Nexus S Android Development] Vandam500:
Is this the stock radio that comes with it?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] netarchy:
This is the stock radio yes.
[Nexus S Android Development] shabbypenguin:
wait i did what?
[Nexus S Android Development] joebags:
i was under the impression that the image was from your phone...? either way netarchy and i used the irc channel you made so you still helped :P
[Nexus S Android Development] netarchy:
Nah, the image that fixed you was the radio image extracted from the OTA ;D
[Nexus S Android Development] thebowers131:
I flashed this on my i9020 and my phone exploded. What should I do?
[Nexus S Android Development] mntbkr:
Was it next to your face? If so plead upload pics of the carnage...
[Nexus S Android Development] dalvarez7:
Cool, thanks for the fix! This means we should be able to use SuperASOP 8.0 and flash the radio...in theory anyway.
[Nexus S Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Damn you can't brick this phone by flashing the wrong radio????
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Yes u can. Flash only nexus s 4g radio!

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S Android Development] stillblood:
i tried this in fastboot. it went though but did not fix my issue
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
What issue are you having?

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S Android Development] plmiller0905:
So can we use this with the SuperAsop rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Does anyone know if fastboot oem listpartitions work with this phone? Not at my pc right now. I was wondering which partitions were which. I dumped every image, 7, and i have one that is 13.5mb which i think is the radio that this phone came with. Also i wanna find out which is wimax

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S Android Development] dalvarez7:
So I installed SuperASOP 8.0 and then tried flashing the zip in recovery and pushing the img file via ADB and still have no radio. So it looks like no we can't use SuperASOP yet. :(
[Nexus S Android Development] shabbypenguin:
no superaosp doesnt have the cdma/wimax stuff, it was added to teh aosp source yesterday

[Nexus S Android Development] stillblood:

[HTC Inspire 4G] FerraraZ:
So I picked up an HTC Inspire at no commitment from AT&T 2 days ago and had it in my pocket (along with leather wallet that had no cash or coins just cards) and sat down and when I checked my phone there was a hair line crack on the glass. The phone is pristine and I'm usually good with phones which is why I was completely shocked when I saw it. I am definitely going to AT&T tomorrow but I mean do I even have a shot in the dark with this? When I worked for Apple we were allowed to replace phones that even had spider web cracks in them and I feel the associate will believe me when I tell him the phone did not drop at all because there is no damage anywhere just a hair line crack on the screen. Possibly defective unit? I find it hard to believe that this can happen with such little effort!

Update: Took it to AT&T and they said they would not return the phone because of damage. It just sucks, is there anything else I can do? I got HTC rep contact info so I'm going to see what he says.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wOoT_WoOt:
You're pretty much screwed unless you had insurance. HTC will cover it but you have to pay to get it fixed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sammael1069:
Never ever leave the with a new phone and not buy a case
[HTC Inspire 4G] POPPY SEEDE:
You can still try returning it
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
If you call customer service your chances are better that they'll send you a replacement in the mail. It'll likely be a refurb though.

I've had my Inspire since the day before it was released and it's in pristine condition. Not a single scratch or blemish anywhere to be seen, it's protected with a Realook screen protector and Otterbox Commuter case.
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] n.a.:
This puppy took about three weeks to be shipped from Hong Kong to Canada.

Straight out from the bag:

With the phone on from all five faces covered:

Power/HDMI/3.5 mm:

USB:

Media/Capture:

NOTE: The case seems to be deformed during shipping as you can see a little dump on the left of this picture. I got the case today and not quite sure whether this is going to be permanent.

Bottom:

Rear/Back:

Close up to the OEM micro USB cable in (the case provides all the clearance need):

Installation: You don't have to be a strong man to put it on. Does require some effort though.

Fitting: I haven't found major misalignment and most of the ports seem to be exposed. The HDMI port is however BLOCKED. Please also note the little bump on the left of the Media/Capture side picture.

Button Pressure: I don't have a scientific method to test the pressure needed before and after putting on the case. I have to say it feels a little difference, after all this case is not only 0.03 mm. However, one can still feel the response from the buttons.

I do not have the nice Korean silicon case; therefore, I cannot provide an comparison between the two.
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] AllGamer:
i've had the phone for 6 mth already, and i've not yet once used the HDMI port

that being said, you can easily use an exacto knife to cut a hole for the HDMI port
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] syborg:
I used to have the menu unlock feature on my phone. Don't remember if it was part of SC 2.9.2 or if I flashed something to get this function.

How can I get menu unlock on ED01? Does something exist or can someone point me in the direction to try to make the mod myself.

Thanks

Does anyone know of a good authorized retailer to buy the Samsung Focus at? It seems as though the best I could find is AT&T for $350 off of contract. That is pretty good. Does anyone know of any others?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's the best one, and the one I was going to recommend.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hedpe:
it does seem like a very good deal... if nothing else pops up by the end of the day, i'll head there to grab it
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Just make sure to explain to them that it is the online price and you can't buy it online without the service agreement. It says to go to the store to buy it with no commitment pricing.

They rang mine up at $400. I explained the online price and they adjusted it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hedpe:
great, thanks for the feedback, I hadn't noticed that!
[Windows Phone 7 General] woodbane:
I got mine from eBay from a store called "Gazelle" for $225. It was an open box item in mint condition - it came in retail box with everything - looked like I had just bought it from AT&T.

They have more in stock. They also have a 30 day no questions return and refund policy, pretty rare for an ebay store.

I've not had a single problem with it - applied NoDo and everything is working fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hedpe:
also a good find! this should be helpful for other's looking for a Focus at a good price.

I have to stick to an authorized reseller though, as I have a rebate that I am looking to use only valid at an authorized store
[Windows Phone 7 General] woodbane:
Yeah, sorry, I missed the "authorized retailer" bit. Speed reading..LOL

Still, $230 for an off contract Focus in mint condition is pretty freaking good right?

Hi. Has anyone found that they can't access their Samsung Galaxy Tab when it is in 'download mode'? I have no access to it from my pc when connected via the usb cable.

I've got a really neat idea for a custom boot screen and I know how to draw it out on the computer but can someone point me in the right direction as to howto make it into a working boot screen? I'm capable of editing pictures and making the actual image I just don't know how to get it on my phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Ok I'm using Skyraider and my method of creating a boot animation was a little bit different then the link above....I had found another link on Android forums that explained how I could un-zip my existing bootscreen animation and modify the files....after doing this you simply re-zip ALL of the files using winzip with certain settings and then move the new zip file to the appropriate place in your file system dependent mainly on your Rom.....this way is a lot easier and instead of creation from scratch you will already have a base line template to work off....ill boot my computer here in a few minutes and post my boot animation and the link to that site.....Idt exactly how to do boot image posts and I'm curious if boot animations are Rom specific... if not then you guys can just go ahead and install my boot animation to check it out and try to teach yourselves
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I think the only rom specific thing about boot animations is the location that they're stored.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
But I know they need info files to tell them what to do and Idt if that's Rom specific
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Ah, yeah a dev should be able to let you know.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chindogg:
I too have been trying to create a custom boot animation, only with sound as well.

I've managed to get the animation to work, but the sound never plays. I have the sound set as an 80 kbps mono 22050hz mp3 named 'android_audio.mp3' and I'm using the newest version of Synergy Mod. Both bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 are sitting in /system/customize/resource right now.

What is it that I'm doing wrong?

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfcpinto:
Hi, Just decided to take some 3M Carbon Fiber tape and apply them on my SGS case... The result is pretty good in my opinion. Calling it Galaxy S Carbon now :p Here goes the pictures. Sorry for bad english.

I have no camera here to take pictures closed on the device, so don't ask for it :p

EDIT: Some finished better light condition pictures
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] saphirrot:
very cool bro :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] garbz:
Very nice. Saw a friend do this with his iPhone 4. Guess not everyone likes the glass back, who knew.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
Same thing I´ve done:)

Indeed, I did it a bit more precisely :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Esoth:
Woah, I'm really impressed by both your efforts. I didn't even think of doing this, but now...... I think I might look into it. Any tips for anything that could save me trouble down the track?

And Vln_Thomas: Did you measure out a piece beforehand and then stick it on or did you stick it on and then cut?

EDIT: Although, now that I think about it, I don't even know where I'd get carbon fibre tape. Australia sucks like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfcpinto:
What did you do to make it so precisely? Appreciate :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
I´ve simply bought a 4*8 Inches sized Fibre tape.

Then i attached it on my backcover, heated the tape with a hair dryer and pulled it around the corners. When a part of the Cover was without folds, I let it cool down so that the tape cured and then cut a part of the fibre tape off.

Then I heated the cover again and the procedure started once more.

It took me for about 45 minutes and a very steady hand, even though a friend supported me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Esoth:
That's awesome! Where did you buy the tape? I'm hoping that it was online...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
Here :	3M™ DI-NOC™ CA-421 Carbon Folie

10*20cm are 4*8 Inches, enough for the Galaxy S :)

Greetings from Germany
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfcpinto:
Exactly the same here... My edges just didn't get perfect because i was afraid to break them... I was usign the hair drier and it looked like the back cover was going way too wobbly (i don't know the word opposit to "hard"). So pulled it as I could by the edges, wait to cool down and cut off the resting tape..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Adam01Rule:
Nice mod man, and btw is that a tamiya tt-01e you have there in the background? haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfcpinto:
Haha yeah, tt01 ED actually :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] NasrulBond:
oh man, your sgs looks cool tho! thumbs up! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kblood:
Very cool mod.

But just a warning, the backcover usually gets really hot when the phone is charging while running demanding apps. So you might want to be careful doing that in case it is not releasing its heat buildups as easy anymore. Would be sad to have it overheat after making it look so awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfcpinto:
Thank you for the warning but i don't think it can get any hotter.. i was already using a tpu full back cover, some extra tape will not kill it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
No problem at all with overheating....

Same temperatures as before ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kblood:
I guess so, I just thought it might become a problem if getting rid of all that heat got harder. Mainly because the original gets very hot, and the phone once came up with a warning on mine about not charging the phone while using it so much, I think I was using it to watch a full HD video or something, that I had not bothered to convert to something more fitting to the SGS. But it is nice to use it as a portable media centre.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
What a great idea!! Here's me probably bought about 6 different battery covers and cases and always got rid of them because they never fit properly, or if I find one i DO like then they get cracks or the paint wears off.

And this is using the original! Brilliant idea.

Does the tape make the sides of the cover wider than the phone? You know how some cheap badly fitting battery covers seems to stick out at the sides where they should join seamlessly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
Of course it´s a bit thicker, but it fits pretty well :) Much better than those rubbish Back-covers from Ebay :P

And to clarify it: There is no problem with overheating at my phone at all....

Battery temps are the same as without the tape so i guess CPU and everything else will be the same too;)

Anyway temperatures highly depend on the modem-file you use...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
I've got (yet another) back cover on the way from eBay, but I think this one may fit just right after talking to the seller... but this carbon tape idea i love! I was thinking about sanding down my stock Samsung back because i love the fit and everything, its' just too damn slippery.... and paint would scratch off over time. but sanding it (if it could be done evenly) would fix that.

Might consider this idea though. I wonder what different types of tape there are.... hmmm....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ranola:
woah thats cool dude
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tejesh.mundra:
Looks very gud... wil try
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Redwid:
I've fit my back cover from phantomskinz.com about 6 month ago. Have no problem with heating.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] meisterdude:
Good looking and it seems not too hard to do...hmm :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Chillaholic:
Very nice idea, looks great. I have already ordered a case, otherwise i would have made this mod. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] arthurz:
very cool! looks good
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PalmenDK:
Good job! Really love the look of it :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfcpinto:
It is indeed pretty easy.. Just buy the tape and use a hair drier for stretching the edges.. fits perfectly after you're done
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
I've been thinking about doing this some more, but I realised... how come a fold doesn't appear (or that you don't have to cut a slit) on the corners?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Metalrullz:
Can someone post pictures of the front side of the phone, so we can see how it looks around the screen? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gfcpinto:
I have no extra camera here but when i get my friend's cellphone i'll take some pictures to post here later tonight
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yettyxx:

it look pretty awsome:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] evil_fish:
This is great idea man! THX for sharing!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] evil_fish:

You do have a really steady hand! I failed to make it precisely.... :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Peppegs:
Wow..it's beautiful work ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 350zstar:
Looks Awesome!!!

Anyone tried white carbon fiber?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sambwel:
Did you not read the bit about using a hair dryer??

Let me clear this up:

1. Get your tape and lay it on a flat surface

2. Get your hair dryer

3. Rub the barrel of the hair dryer slowly and smoothly over the tape. Make sure you rub all parts evenly

4. After 5 minutes your tape is ready. Stick it on the case

Hope that helps! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] splendidtry:
I like mods and carbon fibre, but that just looks a lot worse than the stock back cover.

Definitely looks cheaper and more ghetto than the sleek pro looking stock one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
No way dude....

It´s definitely more stable and it also look more valuable. It´s not a cheap tape, maybe it appeals to be because gfcpinto´s pictures are not that good ;)

You can´t deny that the stock backcover of the SGS looks like rubbish?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ddeath:
Cheap looking? Are you kidding? Looks super slick and nice! No more finger print magnet!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
exactly... and as being said back cover is much more stable!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EmDzei:
Nice mod

Looks very good looking. Stock case is so slippery and extra back covers make your Galaxy S too fat. This tape mod is just pro!

Can you list some place where order? Local stock markets are welcome - or course, too (finnish).

How you did cut those holes? With mat knife maybe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MrNago:
I just bought it on eBay, searching for "3M carbon" and sorting it by Price+Shipping (Less first) should do the job.

+1 to: cutting tool?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vln_Thomas:
I guess best would be a surgeon knife, but i used a small cutter for carpets;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] splendidtry:
I am am denying exactly that compadre.

The stock backcover to me looks the opposite of rubbish. Cool, sleek, dark, intriguiging, pro are just some of the words I would use to describe it.

I think it is mostly set off by the sublte yet effective pattern on the back. It reminds of stealth, tech, nano suit type armor look from metal gear solid or crysis.

Ofcourse I only mean this in the sense of another person observing you using it. The effect wears of when you own the phone, cos you figure out its fairly simple, but trust me a friend had one for half a year and I always thought it looked cooler than most oher phones (except the motorolla v8) in another persons hands.

The carbon fibre pics presented here imo make the phone look like a cheap chinese toy, the one where you get 40 cars for $1. Its a really dull , hazy craftless looking thing.

It reminds me of simialry prices kevlar gloves I bought from a paintball shop.

Another way of looking at it is you lost the backcover and used some kind if home made fix to mend it. Kind of like this
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] smukc:
LOL u are weird :o carbon fibre look is definetly beter looking than stock samsung cover made with cheap plastic
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MrNago:
I was wondering, how hard is this to take off?
