[Q] CM7&Brazil:Unable to identify many numbers stored on phonebook? Sense works fine.

Already asked for other reasons on Tattoo-Gingerbread thread, but I'll try here because I would like to gathering more informations with Brazilians users who are still using a Sense Rom.

The default CM7/Gingerbread dialer is horrible and it and other dialers like "Dialer One" aren't able to recognize contacts numbers stored with specific area code. I mean, I have many number stored with the operator code here in Brasil, es: 01551xxxxxx mean I'm calling with ViVo Brazil (015) a number in Porto Alegre, but the number show on the phone when incoming a call is 051xxxxxx, where 051 is the geographic area code of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.

All the dialers I have tried doesn't manage correctly those numbers but official Sense dialer does without modify format.

I can't change the numbers because I travel a lot trough Brazilian states, and out of the state the area code is mandatory, so I need to back to a Sense rom. Don't know if it's a issue with cm7 only, because it's the first time I use a "No-Sense" rom on Tattoo (wife's phone). I tried also with my Htc legend (before I used a Froyo stock rom) with the same results.

Any feedback from Brazilian user?

Thanks.

Hey all, hope someone can help. Two things,

1) gorilla glass, how good is it? Is it worth using a screen protector as well or if it not needed?

2) gaming, I'm big on gaming except on my phone, poor old hero struggles with angry birds. One of the things I'm looking forward to when I get my upgrade is being able to play cool games, is there any that are must haves?

Thank you :-)
[Galaxy S II General] slice77:
1) I'm taking my chances (if you want to call them that) without a screen protector. That trust is coming from videos and other user experiences, not from my own previous phones, so to each his own.

2) I came from a Hero too, where most of my gaming came from SNESoid and GBAoid. I'm a little disappointed to confirm my previous worries about GPU compatibility. The high quality 3D games that were released with the first wave of dual core phones (Tegra 2) are not currently compatible with the SGS2. I imagine this will change as this phone gets into more people's hands, but just a fact you'll have to deal with until then. All older games work fine though, including everyone's standard of measurement, Angry Birds. Personally I've

There is a thread in the Apps section that is keeping tabs on what games do and don't work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057199

Thanks for the reply (can't find thanks button on xda app?!) n the link :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Dannyboyni:
1) It is only a matter of time until you scratch gorilla glass, it WILL happen. I do not trust gorilla glass at ALL. This is from experience of my previous Galaxy S and the amount of scratches it received. Best bit of advice is keep the phone in a empty pocked, and ALWAYS check your pocket before you put the phone in. Also DO NOT EVER drop the phone, though its bound to happen at some stage.

2) The games front isnt so good, as the previous poster said. Also running emulators to me is POINTLESS until we can get some bluetooth control pads working on this thing, i.e. the wii remote. This however is very unlikely to EVER happen. The original Galaxy S still doesn't work with the wii remote. So if you bought this phone for gaming its the wrong choice im afraid.
[Galaxy S II General] bassmonkey:
Hi. Thanks. Just wondered about the glass, will prob use a protector anyway, just in case :-). Iv not got the phone yet, upgrading in few weeks, gonna try sensation as well but I'm swaying heavily to the sg2 @ mo :-) gaming isn't the be all for me as far as phones go, it wasn't enough to get me on a winmo 7 phone :-) it'll just be nice to have something better than a lagging angry birds :-)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Never scratched my SGS 1 but have a Vikuiti screen protector .

Along with a leather case phone just sold in perfect condition .

Likewise after a new case a new battery is part of the requirements .

1. Ask yourself this... You paid over $700 for a phone, is an extra dollar or two really gonna kill you for an added peace of mind?... :)
[Galaxy S II General] mentalinc:
The glue from the protector may damage the coating that has been applied to the screen...
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
The screen has a really awesome feel to it, and screen protectors usually feel nasty. I had an SGS1 without a screen protector for a year without a scratch, so no way am I going to put anything on this one. ;)

I've been using my SGS2 for a few days now, and it has no scratches of any kind anywhere. Has been sitting in my pocket and shown around the whole time too.
[Galaxy S II General] bassmonkey:
Lol, not sure if u read all the post, its not about money, never had phone with gorilla glass before n was wondering if the hype about it being scratch proof was true :) whether I get sgs2 or sensation it'll be a choice I have to live with for 2 years so ill be doing my best to keep it safe :)
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
it's not scratch proof. but its pretty rare.

ive a scratch on my sgs1. its tiny. its annoying cause i know its there but most wouldnt see it ;-) Not sure how this happened either, but it did a few month ago. I have no other scratches and never had a protection.
[Galaxy S II General] ShaggyDragon:
I'm not going to use a screen protector, I didn't on my SGS and that didn't get a single scratch. My daughter dropped it which dented the chrome bezel, but the screen was perfect.

I think the biggest risk is dropping it - just get a decent case or silicon bumper.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Is Gorilla Glass better or worse than the glass on the Nexus One? Becuase I never maganed to scratch that.

Is there any kernel or ROM that is EC05 and has CIFS functionality?

I would really like to tie some SMB shares to my phone both at home and the office.

Thanks ahead of time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
The CIFS module can be loaded with any ROM or kernel - but I think (don't quote me) that Twilight Zone and VisionKernel have them built in.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragnsep:
Im using the Syndicate ROM, the lastest edition, I forget its codename. From what I gather (through short testing) the Twilight kernel doesnt have it...

The cifs module can just be cooked in via command line in Clockwork right?

Thanks for the response.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
All you'd have to do is insmod it during the startup process. A simple initscript /should/ do it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
Ok so after a few unsucesfull attempts to root with one click. I tried the gingerbreak no pc method. Root went fine it seemed and I have super user and root access. Ok so I installed rom manager and tried to flash clockwork 2.5.1.0 so I go to rom manager, choose flash rom, go to clockmod 2.5.1.0.zip hit ok and all that eventually it reboots into clockwork. But the only options are: reboot, flash update.zip, factory reset, and clear partition. So I chose the update zip one. It failed said it couldn't find updaten.zip so I tried that a few times no luck reboted and tried again..no luck so I went through 3 b utton push thing on a reset and clockwork doesn't open. I have to go through rom manager and when I do those are the only 3 options. Also when in clockwork. The camera button is not the ok/enter button as it should be I have to hit the home key for ok. So I tried to flash the fix for 5the home screen. Same issues. Where di I go wrong? How do I get going again? The phone works fine, wifi teather is working now. Just can't seem to get clockwork working or flash anything
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Okay, a few things first:

1. Narrow down your problem, your description is far from clear and concise

2. If you're having problems with ClockWorkMod, search their threads for your answers, or post your question there

3. Why are you using Gingerbreak? That's for, Gingerbread. You shouldn't be messing with a leaked and buggy Rom if you don't know what you're doing.

My suggestion is to go to the Clockworkmod thread. Check out version 3 in my signature. All your problems are likely answered there. But I can't answer them for you, regardless, because you neglected to mention why you resorted to this frazzled method. If you want to pursue this method, you'll have to go back to the forum you got it from for your answers, but I recommend starting over.

GOOGLE any question you have with "XDA" in the search bar and I promise that your question has already been answered. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
Well I tried to do one click 4 times and could never root. I fund this gingerbreak method in the samsung epic 4g dev area. I ran it and I have root. I had no other idea what to do at the time to gain root. I have rea through the clockwork area but none of the help answerd seemed to have the same issues as me. Sorry. Ill keep reading. I been tryin. At thi since Friday afternoon n just getting frutrated
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
The reason the One Click didn't work is because you didn't turn off your AV and it kept deleting the single most important part of it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
A couple dumb questions:

1. Is your computer detecting your phone?

You may have a cable problem.

2. Is your phone properly recognized?

You likely haven't installed the drivers listed on the OneClick page for 32 bit and 64 bit computers.

3. Have you attempted to Odin back to stock?

In the first line of my signature you will see a link to Syndicate Rom Frozen and CWM Odin. Download that rom to your phone. Then follow the other link and download the EB13 pre-rooted with CWM 3.0.0.6. Odin the necessary files as the page tells you to, then boot into CWM, and flash Syndicate Rom Frozen. Follow all directions where applicable. When your phone is happy, shutdown properly. Three finger boot into CWM. Backup your phone, and then RESTORE that backup immediately. Journaling will be on. You will be happy. Any future problems from there will have been answered in the Syndicate thread. :cool:

Edit: I see k0nane beat me to the punch! I still recommend following the directions as I laid out above, this should be an easier fool-proof process for you. Otherwise, I yield to k0nane's expertise.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Don't use ROM manager. It is very buggy with the Epic.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Very true, but the directions for Gingerbreak actually told him to use it for this computer-less root method.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
Thanks for all the help so far. So what's better than rom manager?

Is there a way to just install clockwork right now? I am not wanting a custom rom or anything else. The only reason I am rooting at all is to fix the lock screen date.

If I could just install clockwork from where I am at now that would be helpfull.

Id like to keep all my settings and apps n such just as they are I finaly have this thing kinda doing what I want I really don't wana mess with it too much more.

Thanks for all the help so far.

My biggest issue with rooting so far has been my lack of access to a computer that I can use to do the roting. I get pc access but getting access to one I can download to doesn't happen often

Thanks again
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yeah, there is very little choice for computerless rooting.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
I have the same issue, I actually downloaded CWM, Roms, and everything to my phone and then loaded them to my work computer. Use dolphin mini if the default browser gives you issues downloading.

Syndicate has a flash-able fix for the date, is that what you want to apply? I just put it on for the hell of it, but I have to tell you, after May, you won't see a problem with any other month. If that's your only reason for rooting, you may just want to stick it out for this month, just saying. :p
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
Yeah that's really the only reason I'm rooting.

Thanks for all the help!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTI WR6:
Dear All,

I am having a prob for the past week or so. This happened after the marketplace in my phone was updated (my marketplace search bar shows Applications and Games Search now. The music search is gone.).

The problem is that whenever any of my apps have an update, I click on Update All and then instead of downloading the new updates, all the Apps show "Attention required. Press Here".

1. I pressed and retried. Didn't work.

2. I long pressed and retried, that didn't work either.

3. I long pressed and deleted the update, and tried updating again and that didn't help.

4. Restarting phone was of no use either.

Can anyone please help me with this? The only way I update now is delete the app altogether and re download the app. This is quite annoying as I lose the settings on some apps and have to enter them again.

I am using a T-Mobile UK unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 with the NoDo update.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
Read this thread.

Also

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq.aspx

And for future reference and search:

Why do I get an "Attention required. Tap here." message when I try to download an app or game?

Your phone might have temporarily lost its Internet connection, or you might be trying to download an app that's too big to download over your phone's cellular data connection. If you're trying to download an app larger than 20 megabytes, you'll need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, or connect the phone to your PC and use the Zune software.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTI WR6:
Cheers. I did search before a few times and did not find what I was looking for. Thats why I posted here to hopefully find some answers. Thanks again.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTI WR6:
I have read all that before plenty of times and none of the solutions have worked for me. It doesnt work over wifi and the apps I download are all less than 1mb. Moreover, I know that anything greater than 20mb required me to download through Zune connection. My phone software is also up to date.

So back to square 1 for me..... :(

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTI WR6:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
Where it says "Pending" did you try holding your finger there and hit retry? (After you established a wifi connection)

It won't auto download it till you do.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTI WR6:
No I haven't. But will definitely give that a try next time.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
I am actually having the same issues sometimes in UK Marketplace. However, after a while, they "mysteriously" go away and I can download.

Which makes me think it's either a temporary issue on the server or something like that.

In other cases, it worked when I switched 3G off, but I think that's more of a network provider problem.

Know what im talking about

Hi Guys,

ive had this issue when NoDo first came out, i updated to NoDo with the ROMS on here and was still receiving same message for any application i was reqesting from Marketplace, i rolled back from NoDo and my markeplace worked again. so i tried few things different by installing different roms and updating and so on, and still got the same issue when the final update was NoDo.

one thing i did notice was that my app would install over 3G but not over wifi which was the strange part, and 3G is extremely expensive when you downloading games and large apps so that definitly was not an option for me.

i am still using the latest release just before NoDo, because of this issue and i hope some smarty can figure it out or Microsoft release a fix for this soon.

ive scavaged the internet and found zip info that helps ! others tried methods that worked for them but none work for me.

btw i have HTC Mozart and in South Africa
[XPERIA X10 General] cloud911208:
Help please. I'm basically in a boot loop with no recovery. Idk what I should do or if its possible to make a warranty claim.

Hey guys I'm in a boot loop of some kind. I'm not an advanced user of this stuff but idk what to do at this point. So this is the situation. I have a X10a from at&t and its rooted with busybox and freex10 recovery or whatever. I had a default 2.1 ROM and flashed the offline recharging thing. My phone seemed to work fine but then my battery died out. For a while I've had recharging problems with my phone either my cable is messed up or the usb port. So anyways after it died out I tried to recharge but I was in the 3x red flashing light problem and accidentally broke my charger cord, but continuing I borrowed my friends cord and still had problems so knowing my usb port is kinda broken i just left it there. After about 2 hours my phone majestically starts up lol. So I decided I wanted to put on xrecovery just incase and My computer wont read my phone. I try everything from takeing out my sd card to restarting my computer to reinstalling pc companion like 20 times. So I tried a factory reset through the phone settings and ended up where i currently am in a boot loop. It turns on and does the sony ericsson thing then does the boot animation then my phone vibrates and the screen darkens and my buttons are lit up. It has been like this for about 30 mins so far. I tried restarting my phone by taking out the battery and taking out the sd card/sim card.

Sorry for this being long but this is my situation. Could you please help me out? I Don't know if I can do a warranty claim or anything I'm desperate so please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Also if there is anymore information you need please just ask.

[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
if your phone is in flash mode, it's fine. start flashtool, click "flash", select the rom you want to flash, put phone in flash mode (turn off, hold back button while plugging phone in, wait for green light), click ok, let it do it's thing.
[XPERIA X10 General] cloud911208:
Even when i go into flash mode it doesn't work. It goes in flash mode while it searches then after a while the x10 leaves flash mode. Tbh I think its my cable though. Any idea where to get an official one that will ship to hawaii?

You may be missing the drivers.

Install SEUS "Sony Erricson Update Service" from the sony erricson website.

And let it detect your phone at least once.

You can also use it to restore your phone.

-find smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar

Ok this has been annoying me for a while now... basically my 3G is very shoddy, VERY shoddy...

Whenever i run speedtest , on a good day it caps out at 0.35mbps, it just won't go any higher evfen though it looks like it can, and more often that not im hitting around 0.1-0.2mbps.

I have tried god knows how many APN's, and before i go and complain to T Mobile etc, just figured it ask if anyone here knows anything i can do.

Im in the UK by the way, in the london area, if anyone else could tell me what their speeds are?
