[General Questions and Answers] DontCome2MyHouse:
Selling my original Droid to a friend (I know...hey, he wanted it!) and I wanted to know what would happen if I completely formated and deleted everything (all folders and files) from the SD card. Making it completely blank and then putting back into the phone.

The phone is still rooted and running a custom ROM. He wants me to leave it rooted with the ROM still on there. If I formated the SD, would he loose root and/or the custom ROM?

I'm wanting to format so I can delete any traces that the phone was once mine. If this won't screw-up the Droid, what is the best way to format my SD card?

I'm assuming that if it is blank, any apps that he downloads will create their own folders on the SD card? Would he have to manually create any folders (i.e. Music, Pictures, Videos)?
[General Questions and Answers] Milly7:
I would back up the rom, format the SD, copy the back up back to the SD just in case you need to reboot a backup during recovery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxynova88:
when you want to switch roms, do you backup the rom, then flash back to 2.1 and then flash the new bb, rom and so like that?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
no that would be pointless....

backup, go into xrec full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik...

then flash new rom in xrec

Allright. Just wondering. Thank you.
[Captivate General] steelechamp:
EDIT: Could someone please close this thread? I just remembered WebOS was closed-source so this means nothing.

I know this sounds like a really really really stupid question, but is it even remotely possible to port webOS to an Android handset like the Captivate? I was just wondering since both use the Linux Kernel and seemed a little similar.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Yes that is a silly question to ask, ios runs on linux too but you don't see any ports of it on android phones.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
it's not that silly and i have seen ios run on android hardware though im not sure the radios worked, also ios is not linux, it is terminal/unix based and has similarites to linux but doent work off a linux kernel. linux was developed for private use by linus torvalds. it was later released to the public and has spun off in many directions. linus has no affiliation with apple and apple doesnt use his open source code. there are other unix like os's as well like bsd and minix.

as for web os, well the problem is proprietary bootloaders and knowing the boot sequence and parameters. even if the bootloaders are not locked if ther eis no source code it is hard to make them launch something different and it is also hard to replace them with something that can boot the phone. i believe web os is on the long list of os's that can run on an hd2 which is maybe the most hackable phone ever but untill more is learned about the captivate bootloaders and boot process it is out of scope. what i will say is that there are people working on projects that may lead to it being more within scope of happening.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Why would you want to? WebOS is retarded. It's essentially just one big webkit browser with javascript "apps".
[Captivate General] Connor1:
iOS is FreeBSD.

hello, any news about the samsung galaxy s2 32gb edition

and what about the nfc chip devices cause i heard that samsung is going to issue an edition with the nfc chip

is it confirmed or its just a rumor

thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coincoinlapin:
Interested in knowing too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Well looking at the expected prices of the 32GB version being anywhere between £100-£150 more than the 16GB version then I would assume that the 32GB versions come with NFC. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense paying all that extra money just for 16GB more memory. But until stock of the 32GB version is actually received it's all speculation atm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matador_kuw:
guess you are right

i doubted that 2

the price is away high also it's still not available at the market yet

also they were rumors about the nfc chip being available in june and i think its the time that the 32 gb should be available for the sgs2 fans

hope that the sgs2 comes with the 32gb + nfc chip and i will be the first to buy it even if the price is high cause it will be the star of 2011 :rolleyes:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
Sorry if this is a simple question, but I haven't seen an exact answer in my searches thus far. So...if I put a nice CM7 build on an sd card and boot off of that, does it do anything to my actual nook? I mean, if I removed the sd card and rebooted without it, my stock nook would have nothing left over from the CM7 activity, right?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfamily737:
That is correct. I have Honeycomb on an SD and CM7 running internally. Once you remove the SD and reboot, you are back to whatever your native EMMC rom happens to be.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
There's a slight amendment to that: the usual CM7 on SD install uses the /cache filesystem on the emmc for its own cache (clever idea!), so you may need to clear cache when you switch.

But that's a nit.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrod33084:
So I seen somewhere that the was a way to be able swap back and forward between miui and cm7 without having to do all this crazy odining and flashing. I'm torn between the two so I want both lol. One day I might want cm7 or might change my mind and want miui. Anyone know what the process is on being able to do this?
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
When I first purchased my Continuum on November 25th, 2010, I opted for the 150 megabytes-per-month data plan. Sometime in late March 2011, I upgraded my data plan to an unlimited plan. Today, May 16th, 2011, I contacted Verizon to change my data plan back to the 150 megabytes-per-month plan. I was informed by the customer service rep at Verizon that this phone now required an unlimited data plan and the 150 megabytes-per-month plan was no longer an option.

I post this message for one reason. If you are on the 150 megabyte-per-month data plan now and you opt to upgrade your plan to the unlimited plan, you will be unable to go back. Per the rep at Verizon, as of January 31st, 2011, our phone requires an unlimited data plan.

Of course I was not informed of this change. Got to love big red aka Verizon.
[Continuum General] imnuts:
They got rid of the 150MB data plan option like 2-3 months ago because they didn't have many people choose it over the unlimited plan. Even if you tried to switch back the day after you went unlimited, you wouldn't have been able to. Had you researched the data plans at the time of your switch, you would have seen that the had gotten rid of what you were on, so you're blaming VZW for the fact that you didn't look into the data packages they offered.
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
At the time of my switch, the rep at Verizon told me I would be able to switch back. They said nothing about the 150MB plan not being available anymore.

Furthermore, I doubt Verizon stopped offering a 150MB data plan because people weren't interested in it. My instincts tell me they wanted to make more money by only allowing an unlimited plan.
[Continuum General] y0himba:
They also offer a 75mb plan, however, as you said, they require that stupid $29.99 unlimited with anything considered a "smart phone".

Then they want another $20 for 2gb a month for tethering. Same data, same servers. The rep told me it puts additional stress on the servers. Okay, um, upgrade the servers and satisfy the customer?
[Continuum General] imnuts:
Well, if it wasn't for low demand, it was because of the iPhone. It was reported that it was being removed as an option on Jan 24th. Though no actual "end date" was shown, I can't imagine it lasted to long after that day.
[Continuum General] in50mn14c:
The rep told you that you could change back to the other plan within 30 days of changing away from the plan. Tell them to submit an inactive pricing request and you can get your plan back :)

Sometimes it pays to work at a VZN call center ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HighBomber:
Today I deleted some programs off my SGS2 that were in the list in the SGS2 General Forum. My phone was able to connect to the PC before that. After I uninstalled the applications on my phone, it no longer tries to talk to my computer. I have reinstalled the drivers, restarted both my computer and phone, and still nothing. I am worried it was something I uninstalled but I doubt it. I was quite careful removing the programs using Titanium Backup and they were completely unrelated in my opinion. I have a feeling it is only coincidental.

Anyhow can you please help me troubleshoot what has happened? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HighBomber:
Perhaps it wasn't related. I figured out how to do it with USB debugging ticked. I never had to do that before. Originally it would connect automatically with USB debugging unticked. Now it only connects with USB debugging ticked and after I say that it is 'OK' pretty much.

Still, if anyone can shed some light on what I may have uninstalled let me know. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabs52:
may not apply to you since im guessing you tried it both times on the same comp with the same OS. i find that kies hates 64 bit OS. it just wouldn't connect on my desktop running win 7 ultimate 64bit but connects just fine on my laptop running win 7 enterprise 32bit. anyway... i usually have debugging mode on anyway, much easier for me to access the phone and sd card using explorer instead of stupid kies. kies i only use for firmware updates or atleast until i've rooted this thing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HighBomber:
Sorry I should have mentioned that I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks, shabs52. Good to know it could be my OS that is fumbling. I would have to agree as well, Kies stinks. I can't wait until I can get a stock OS without any crapware.

Anyhow it is strange how it worked for awhile and just stopped, but debug mode is better anyway.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogeriocunha:
I'm having this problem too

Despite my Win7 64bits, Kies always connected automatically, both with SGS2 and my previous SGS. Yesterday my SGS2 started to behave strange: when I plug the USB cable it doesn't recognizes automatically (takes a few seconds), and only starts charging the battery, but the data link is not stablished (Kies won't even recognize there is a device connected). When I remove the USB cable the charging indicator continues to show as if it still was connected (again, for a few seconds). The same with the power cord. Since the symptoms were the same in my notebook (also Win 7 64) I tried it on a Win XP 32 - same thing (different USB cables). This makes me think the problem is with the device itself. Anyone have seen this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
Try deleting the drivers on your pc for samsung usb while the phone is unplugged. Then plug back the phone and windows 7 should automatically search and install the required files...worked for me with w7 64
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogeriocunha:
I already did that, but the problem persists. Today some new symptoms "arrived", which led me to this other thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151863). The phone eventually enters car mode, or beeps and shows the charging indicator (even though it's not plugged). Weird. Will take to service tomorrow.

[Thunderbolt General] SirVilhelm:
The last couple of days I've noticed something strange with my battery. I keep it on the charger all night and when I get up in the morning my phone says the battery is at 100% and the charge LED is green. The instant I pull my phone off the charger it drops a couple percent. I thought that was strange so this morning instead of pulling the phone off I just shut it down. Once the phone was completely off the LED went from Green to Orange as if it was charging again. It look another 20 minutes to turn green again. I powered the phone up and as soon as sense is loaded I am back to 93% battery.

Anyone else see this? I've wiped battery stats and did the whole calibration but that didn't seem to fix the issue.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
That is normal... Once the batt hits 100%, the charger goes off and lets it drop to 95% or so and starts charging again. It does this to protect the battery. Also when you turn off, it will restart the charge.
[Thunderbolt General] Nooter:
The battery is lying, but that's not such a bad thing.

[Thunderbolt General] TheRealDex:
My battery has been acting up the last few days as well. As in, going from a full charge to ~35% in 3 hours and then down to ~12% an hour later. No new apps added, nothing out of the ordinary done. Regular uses and charging cycle. I normally reset my battery stats when I flash a new incarnation of a new ROM, but after a couple of days everything seems to be back to normal.

I've been baffled by this, but have yet to find the culprit. An app or searching for signal are my only thoughts.

Dual-boot is exactly as it sounds. It allows one to have two different operating systems the the user can choose to boot. For example, using a dual-boot setup on a PC could allow one to boot either Windows or Linux.

Hey guys just wondering how I can really speed up my phone, rom or kernal? Or both? I just downloaded the evil fascination theme and I'm trying to do some further customization! Like the phone in that vid! It's crazy fast and I was just wondering what I should download and how to apply it while keeping the evil theme. Also when he switches screens in the vid, it flips it doesnt just slide left and right. How would one do that? The launcher, rom or theme? I guess I cant post the vid, but its on youtube and its "My awesome samsung fascinate!!!!"
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirgeExtinction:
The speed you're describing most likely has to do with the Rom and kernel. The transitions sound like a launcher(such as Launcher Pro). :)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iloveworkinout:
Yea I hear its the kernal. What's one of the quickest kernals there are? I know it varies from phone to phone but whats been stable yet quick. Also how do I install a kernal over my theme?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirgeExtinction:
I'm currently using Nemesis' OTB 1.3 kernel for TouchWiz roms. That one makes my phone really quick and smooth. Since kernels don't affect your theme, you just flash it in ClockWorkMod Recovery. :)

How do you get that? And other customizations?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrbonesx:
There are a ton of different widgets to change the look of your phone. To have the time written out, try clockr.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M00NEY:
Another clock you might want to have a look at is the Make Your Clock Pro (Beta) App. Looks really cool, like you can fully customize the clock layout to your liking. I have not tried it - just stumbled on it today... But it sounds like something you might be after.

The flip transitions - or any of the 7 that are included in LP+ are accessed via:

Menu Soft Key> Preferences> Homescreen Settings> Transition Effect. In there are the 7 choices. My personal fav is Flip, but there ought ot be somethign there to suit your taste.

Enjoy - this is the fun part :D

I've had it a little over 24 hours now. The only problem I've had is with Tango. It seems to be a problem with various Samsung phones and the update that Tango just did. The video from the front camera is turned 90 degrees. It also zooms way in, so they may only see your lips. My sound is a bit low, too. It's on the forum over there and the engineers say they are aware of the problem and are working on it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Chalk:
I've come across a (possible) WiFi issue with two separate devices in the past week. Lets say I join my home WiFi network and I decide to head to work. Once I get to work, I join that network. Now, when I leave work and go back home, the Infuse won't automatically pick up the home network again until I manually turn off the WiFi and turn it back on. Only then will it finally switch over and join the network. It seems to do this regardless of where I'm going and where I've been.

While I'm not sure this is an issue with the phone or my service here in town, but I seem to be either timing out on data connections a lot or having extremely slow speeds over the network. This wasn't ever a problem with my Inspire, iPhone, or any other device have carried.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
I am noticing same said WIFI Issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trdsnow:
I also have a wifi issue. I have 3 other phones in my household. My wifi is with ATT U-Verse. All the other phones connect to the wifi perfectly fine and holds the connection (iphone, droid incredible, droid x)

However, when I try to connect to my Wifi through my Infuse, it'll connect for about 2 minutes, and then cut off. The wifi signal will still show that it's active with full bars but nothing that requires data will work (ie browser, app store, email, youtube etc).

Since I am unable to connect to wifi, I have to put it back to H+. This isnt good because I only have the 2gb plan and i download a bunch of apps and watch a bunch of movies on it all the time.

Is anyone else having this problem?
