[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windraker:
I'd also second this question but add on to it the following:

boot.bin

sbl.bin

Both safe?

In addition:

Can we go back to eclair/froyo if we want, in order to reflash official from kies in Canada?

Can we use our own CSC?

Does this support the 850 band, or do I need to flash the KC1 modem?

Will the phone die? :D

We thank you all for your time :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuryriderX:
1. yes

2. no

3. yes if you use the method here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438 or just keep using JL2 or KC1 modem

4. mine hasn't yet, been on gingerbread for about a week or so now
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
moved to gingerbread and can't see why you would want to go back to an earlier firmware.

custom rom and especially a custom kernel transform the phone completely: much faster, much better functionality and better battery life

you can still connect to kies, but why? odin and cwm provide a much better means to upgrade and change firmware and open source development is much better than anything Bell will ship

things to realize: (1) the sgs is incredibly resilient and robust, most "bricks" are not bricks at all but recoverable with download mode and reflash (2) there's lots of expertise to see you through every situation and every rom chef and kernel developer has its loyal fan base, so try for yourself and find the combination that works best for you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
do we need to update the bootloader if we come from KC1 and we want to upgrade to JVH?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
not to use kc1 modem with JVK rom no: but if you are coming from 2.2 froyo rom to 2.3.3 gingerbread JVK rom, you need bootloaders to move from the 2.2 rom to the 2.3 rom

the sequence is:

1.change rom from 2.2 to 2.3 stock JVK with GB bootloaders (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047924)

2. change stock JVK rom to custom JVK rom (deodexed, zipaligned and rooted) using cwm sd card zip method

3. if desired, flash compatible performance JVK kernel (using odin or cwm) note: many roms include kernel, check features list -- this step is only to replace the included kernel that got you rooted or to swap it out for one that has different performance features (speed, battery life etc)

4. activate 850 mode in JVK modem or reinstall KC1 modem (flash in odin or use cwm sd card zip).

5. go into cwm recovery, perform backup and then add custom modded theme if desired -- do the backup of the full functioning system before doing theme changes, that way if anything goes wrong you are starting from the completed install and don't have to repeat everything!

5. load titanium backup and restore apps: use market to update and then set up your launcher

6. do another backup!

Seems more complicated than it is. Along the way if anything hangs step 1 is always pull the battery and reboot. If that doesn't do the trick, step 2 is pull the battery and use the 3 button control to go into recovery mode, reflash and reboot, and if that doesn't work, use the 3 button control to go into download mode and reflash the part that hung, and if that fails, go into download, connect to odin and start at the beginning!

shamelessly stolen from all the good guides that dot the xda landscape and a surfeit of trial and error!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Here is what I did. At first I was on KC1 (updated trough kies). Later I flashed a 2.2.1 JS8 based ROM, without modem or boot loader (so these two were still KC1)

I wanted to try gingerbread. So I flashed the gingerbread starter through heimdall (boot loader and kernel)

I booted in recovery and installed my custom JVH ROM (took the rooted deodexed JVH ROM, removed a few stuff, edited gps.conf for north-america and replaced Swype with a fr-CA enabled-one), upgrading the kernel (to default JVH) but not the modem.

So my modem is still KC1 (850 MHz working out of the box) and JVH works fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
You can use this procedure (as stated before) and use the latest modem with 850hz support

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438

I got JVH running with a full flash and 850hz
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
What exactly does the 850 band give us? I've never switched anything on or off in regards to bands/modem and my phone has always given me a signal and a data connection. What exactly do you get when you enable the 850 band? Also how do you know if it is enabled or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Some places in Canada have poor or no 1900 MHz coverage. In this case you will want 850 MHz.

I noticed my phone used 850 MHz mostly indoor and in rural areas. To check you need to go in service mode (I don't remember the code by heart but it starts with #*#*)

@t1mman

Thanks I know but I think it's easier to say on KC1 as I have no problems with this modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
no problems

been on jvb for a week with zero problems, this phone was previously sent in for repair prior to 2.2 jl2 release... so things seem to be good... i flashed ugkc1 modem for 850 band

Has anyone successfully connected their xoom to an android phone yet? I was trying to mount it as a drive to read the SD card. I know I can pop the card out of the phone and mount it in the xoom, but I was looking to connnect directly with the cable.

[About XDA developers] evoflorida:
there is a company called Microvision that is making see through eye wear (some day soon, tech will be ready in 1 year). they just announced they were waiting on Microsoft and Google to come up with some thing to handle augmented reality as one walks around.

i would think there is a way for you guys to make HUD (heads-up) apps for this eye wear.

stock trading HUD app - or writing it for one of these companies and make a few bucks.

Read message boards

real estate web sites

i believe there is money to be made for some of you smart people. than kick me a few $100K.

[About XDA developers] evoflorida:
voice activated and hand gesturing tech is also being tied into the Microvision systems. they have sent the Dept of Defense 8 pairs of eye wear for working out the bugs.

voice activated HUD apps. this has got to be the next wave in apps.

Microvision is a display company. they can display any image that can be displayed on a cell phone. they are HD and sell a pocket projector called ShowWX.
[About XDA developers] evoflorida:
another note. Pioneer is going to put Microvision's tech in a auto HUD starting 2012. their HUD will interface with a cell phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmako777:
This is the 2nd time this week this has happened. Turned my phone on this morning, shows preparing sd card but yet none of the apps I have moved to the sd card will work. They don't show on the app drawer either. The first time it happened I figured it was a fluke so I copied everything from the sd card I was using to another card, and same thing...apps don't show.

So then I reformat the card, reflash the stock image and everything was fine until today. Wtf could be causing this? I am able to access the card thru root explorer no problem. Running rooted stock rom
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
Just a quick question but have you used up the internal memory in order to move them to the SD card? Apps run slower from the SD card then they do from the phone. I have tons of apps but coming nowhere remotely close to have to move them to the SD card.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmako777:
nope i always just moved any app that could be moved to the sd card. i swapped out the sd card and wiped the phone, so we'll see how this goes. thanks for replying
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
hi everyone,

heard that this program can improve battery, 3d.. and else.

Has somebody installed its ?

I have make somes changes last day, my phone completly crash x)

I have checked on the net for more informations,

My factory settings, or ROM i dont know :

MinFreeKB 1896

DirtyRatio 10

DirtyBRatio 5

VFS 100

AOT

Seems something like that should be good :

Min. 4096

DR 80

DBR 55

VFS 25

AOT x

What do u think about this :confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Anybody try this?
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
Seems to be smoother with theses settings, even with the CPU set to 480, and no reboot finaly
[XPERIA X8 General] andrasandhi:
this u can found on x10 sections

but im not sure about function on x8 n d'best setting on it.

in d'explaination on apps says,it make ur phone's battery last longer,or make ur phone become high performance.
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
Me either, that's why I'm asking.. nobody use this program ?
[XPERIA X8 General] Imppy:
do we turn on AOT? or is that off?
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
AOT is off by default.

On the majority of forums this option is turned on so i think it's the best settings for us..

After theres are other settings that we could add in text section, but i'm not very familiar with this domain..
[XPERIA X8 General] Imppy:
any improvements?
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
Funny thing - sysctl attempts to be kept in memory, and if it's killed it will get back at once, so when I'm gaming I occasionally get the "sysctl has accessed su" popup :D
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
Me too^^ I've disabled auto launch, settings dont go back to default anymore..

That's not a sysctl pb, usuly I disable lockscreen, and frequently it enable itself (when the sysctl su popup is displayed, so there a link somewhere..)
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
Hum seems the autonomy is a bit bigger, smoother too.

Or it's just a placebo.. :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Imppy:
anyone else tried this?
[XPERIA X8 General] Senapone:
tibob77 you're still using these settings?

Could you confirm a better autonomy?
[XPERIA X8 General] mabdullah007:
doesn't feel much difference after making the values

Min. 4096

DR 80

DBR 55

VFS 25

AOT x

before quadrant standard was 820 and after 830 i am using froyobread 0.21v
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
Yeah I'm still using theses settings and as I said it seems that the autonomy is better, anyway it's already good.

I never said it was THE setting, just try others by yourself and share to us ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] SpyderX:
I use 1920-5-10-enabled, it's fine for me, and I think it speeds things up slightly. You can try testing.
[XPERIA X8 General] T!b:
I'll test and I keep you informed ;)

Edit : yep indeed it could be fine with theses settings, anyone else ?

We could again increase the autonomy !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
So I guess demand does really have to do with how hard it is to find a TF and not so much component shortages

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/06/asus-eee-pad-transformer-delays-due-to-demand-not-component-sh/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Oh wow, this directly contradicts the claims of other people saying Asus is only able to manufacture 10k a month.

Anyways nice to hear for Asus, I bet they're pretty happy about this :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nook-color:
That article shows that ASUS will build 100k - 200k for May & June Delivery.

It doesn't say how many were built for April 26th launch ( was it 100k or 10k ).

I think they low-balled the initial rollout production ( opposite of Motorola XOOM flop ) - and let demand drive production - rather than the other way around.

I wonder if the 100k - 200k is at demand - or still a little behind? But it's sounding like it's late May or into June before we start seeing retail visibility for the Tablet shopper.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kilmar:
I think Nook-color is correct (hello, fellow NC owner!). They lowballed the initial production rate to test the waters.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dan76:
Interesting for sure! Here's the original source for the info from netbooknews:

http://www.netbooknews.com/24923/asus-hq-makes-official-statement-on-transformer-tablet-shortage/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Spin. Nothing more, nothing less. The numbers match those reported elsewhere previously, along with the component shortage story. Be a bit of a coincidence to get the component shortage wrong, but magically know Asus' planned production numbers.

Also note that while Chang didn't confirm the component shortage issues, he also didn't deny them. He simply avoided the question. Read between the lines, and you have your answer.

Last point: It's not the overseas press and overseas marketing folks that started the component shortage story. It started from a Hong Kong-owned, Taiwanese newspaper and was first reported in English by a Taiwanese industry journal. In other words, the media in Asus' home market, and that best-placed to get to the bottom of the story. And they predicted the supply issues well before the US launch even happened.

Totally credulous reporting by Netbook News -- investigative journalism is clearly not their forte.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
Although the TF is a remarkable device and it got a bit of recognition in the tech community it is by no means mainstream popular nor did it sell out so quickly because of demand. That is an absurd thought because 9 out 10 people in any given room don't even know what the transformer is, ask them about an ipad on the other hand and the response would be different.

There is no way this product received enough popularity and recognition from a couple blogs that led to it selling out after its release.

It was clearly beyond any doubt a lack of supply and communication between asus and retailers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
also, we haven't seen his birth certificate. :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
My experience is quite different, most people in the room I'm in know what it is. As a graphic designer I go to a lot of social events and use the pad to display my portfolio to people and most people I talk to know what it is and ask how it is. Asus is most definitely a household name thanks to creating the netbook market.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spuniun:
Over a week after launch and I'm still having to explain to the people that work in the computer/mobile departments of ASUS' authorized resellers what in the hell the Transformer is - while the brand may be more visible than it used to be to the layman now that they don't just build motherboards for gamers, no one knows what the Eee Pad Transformer is in comparison to the iPad.

If you were to stand on a corner in Anywhere, US with one of these, the first 99 people to pass would ask you if it was the new iPad 2 and the last 1 would ask if it's a Xoom.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
of course the iPad is more widely known, all I'm saying is that in my experience and my field of work (graphic design) people most definitely know what this is.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
definition of shortage : demand is greater than supply demand of one million with supply of half million eguals shortage so does demand of twenty with supply of ten. I spent thirty plus years insemiconductor ind. If you want to sell 200,000 in May you need to forecast and order parts in at least Feb. Production cant ramp over night. Based on stumbles by other tab mfgrs my guess is ASUS did not plan for 300,000 in May. Not a bad biz practice, but dont cover it up

Guys, I won a contest from Rogers for a free Android phone, I have to choose between the Arc and Play. Which one do you guys recommend?
[XPERIA X10 General] -- X10B --:
Choose arc and give me your x10 hehe.
[XPERIA X10 General] trojan92:
if you already have the X10, then you should go for the play :D
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
wow congrats that is awesome!!

Definitely arc, play has a horrid screen and I think the novelty would wear off quickly
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
And don't forget that the strips that slide the keypad out wears out fast.

If you get a play you are risking some mechanical damage since the strips are the weak spots of the phone =/

+1 for the Arc =D, hopefully they already have CWM and CM7 working lol
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
So 3 Arc's vs 1 Play

Hmm.. well I;m still waiting for them to email me so it will be official, but thanks guys. I'm considering selling the Arc and using it to buy SGS 2 :p
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
hahaha good call on that one!!

sgs2 is a freakin' powerhouse
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I like the play.. the line up of games looks good.

I have not seen the screen, but i really love the controls.

I am a psp fan.. but i would rather get a psp2 for that.

I would prefer a device with the Dual Core Tegra Chipset with the play's Dual Analog Touch Pads.

So my vote is on nothing right now.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Haha, yeah I wish they were dual core, but its a FREE phone lol. So which one do you think I should get?
[XPERIA X10 General] kozxmartt:
Nice decison... the SGS2 is a beast of a phone!

Choose between the arc and play, get whichever one is more expensive so that you can sell it for more.

If they are the same price, go with the arc. Its a beauty.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
check on ebay how prices are handled for both phones so you can see which one would be more profitable for you! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:

[XPERIA X10 General] KInG GaME:
looked at both the phone

arc feels lighter and perfect to hold on to!

play is nothing but a phone which is heavy and thick it doesnt have any extra gaming features execpt than the external analog if i were you i would go for the arc

and maybe if you are found of gaming get a NGP(sonys new quad core psp with new sensors)

+1 for arc

-1 for sony for making a lame playstation phone with oldschool games!
