I got mine two days ago

emo's have my heart and i have their razors :)
[HTC Aria General] donharden2002:
Got mine tonight. Now we just need htc to unlock the bootloader on it and we will be golden.
[HTC Aria General] Rimidal:
Please tell me if this update can be applied only for AT&T users?

I have an unlocked ex-AT&T Aria. When I check for updates I get a "Server Unavailable" error. I suppose, it's normal, as I'm not on AT&T network.

The question is:

Is there any possibility to install this update for me?

My phone is not rooted and not s-off'ed. (Damn 2.2 off update with 1.02 hboot)

PS: Sorry for possible mistakes, English is not my native lang.
[HTC Aria General] Zidke:
I still haven't received the update yet.
[HTC Aria General] blackangel104:
Well the update is from at&t so you might not be able to but I may be wrong..and it's a silent update so there won't be any notification. Just go to setting, applications and see if you have unknown sources

Bananas are purple!!!
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
No update here either:(
[HTC Aria General] Theonew:
Have you tried checking for updates in settings? Do this then go to applications and you should see the option to allow the non-market installation of apps.
[HTC Aria General] NBA Brawler:
No update for me yet
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
Thanks so much for the help but nothing as of yet. My husband has the same phone and he hasn't received the update either. :confused:
[HTC Aria General] Theonew:
You don't have to wait for that update. Go here and follow instructions to "unlock" the option to allow installation of non-market apps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. It does work.. I tried it myself.
[HTC Aria General] dk005:

I haven't and am running 2.2.2 on an aria. I want this update so badly why don't I have it? Someone help plesse

I have searched everywhere for a decent pink/purple/girlie type theme that will work with Cm7 nightly. I see so many overly masculine themes that are nice but look a little weird for me and my likings.

If by chance I missed a good theme in my search could you please point me in the right direction. Also if this theme request is in the wrong section please move.

Thanks in advance to any help.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] poofish:
I'm wondering if there is a security app similar to Lookout, Prey or WaveSecure that does all the tracking/locking/wiping/ringing actions on a phone, and also utilizes the front camera to take a picture of a culprit and send it to their servers.

I know Prey does this on their computer software, but I don't believe it does on Android?

I've looked through the Android Market and I can't seem to find an app that does this.

Personally I think this would increase the chances of finding a lost phone immensely. Especially if the app was coded to immediately take a picture when an incorrect password is entered after the phone is remotely locked, then send off the picture whenever the phone is next connected to the internet.

Guess it's on its way. I'm wondering how the update will roll out to Wifi only versions or the tablets that aren't currently using a carrier.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mado007:
Today i got a message thru Kies that i could update my firmware to gingerbread (although the message gave a series of numbers and letters). I tried to update my Tab, but after downloading, the installation of the new firmware failed. Could that be because i have my Tab rooted? How do I solve this problem. Your help will be much appriciated.
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
i think you should go to samfirmware and flash your old rom then maybe u can update :)

or if u've already ur stock rom and u just root it . u just do hard reset factory , then am sure u can update :)
[Galaxy Tab General] mattpedigo:
Agreed. Let us know if you have any more issues.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mado007:
Thanks for your quick help. I will do a hard reset as i have stock rom witch i have rooted in order to make backups, use droidwall and Samba. Titanium backup can prove its use now :-D

Hope the upgrade will work, thanks anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
no prob we all here for helps each other :)

anyways ..

u know i never did update from the kies actually i never use it :D

i'v gingerbread installed already on my tab

but really really i wanna do the update from kies :(

i think i'll flash a stock rom then i'll do the update maybe tomorrow or after

just to try how its work on xD

then i'll back to overcome Gingerbread Beta2 . hihihi

goodluck
[Galaxy Tab General] ryn888:
Me, i update it already using the God of Asgard. Fast browser no lags at all...
[Galaxy Tab General] bubblebob:
How come when I connect to Kies there's still no update?
[Galaxy Tab General] jutley:
Hi can you try the one click root andsee if it works for ginger bread it did work for my samsung galaxy s2 on gingerbread please let us know thank you.
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:

[Galaxy Tab General] jutley:
I wish they bring honeycomb soon 3.0.1 cause thats the true os for tablets.
[Galaxy Tab General] ryn888:
Dude, you mean rooting my Tab? Im sorry i don't want to root my tab anymore.
[Galaxy Tab General] deepx10:
Iam in a strange condition whenever i connect my tab to kies it says this version of firmware cannot be update.

NOTE: i also update my kies version to latest one

Please guys suggest me a solution
[Galaxy Tab General] w1ll1m:
Flash via odin.

Its the same firmware.
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Pardon me for the possible ignorant question, but how can I update my Sprint Tab since I won't be activating it on Sprint?
[Galaxy Tab General] mattpedigo:
Hopefully, Samsung will push it over WiFi... If not, the good people of XDA will inevitably provide a ROM on here. You will either get it in a timely manner or have to hold your balls and ROM it (if you haven't done it before). Even if you have, it can sometimes be a scary procedure.

Short answer... Yes. Long answer... Above.
[Galaxy Tab General] dkwolf:
hmm any word on how far the update is? is it still only italy that got it?

Dont really wanna use odin to update our 120 Galaxy tabs (or the 300 that we are getting in ~1 month time).
[Galaxy Tab General] pendevous:
The only qualm I have is loosing the phone function of the tab if we ever get a honeycomb update. I hope samsung provides an app for that.
[Galaxy Tab General] mattpedigo:
I use sipgate with the sipdroid app to push calls over VOIP. Works well enough for me. Can send and receive calls. I am only on WiFi so I imagine, it'd work that much better over the 3G network.

As far as a possible release date? No idea... Their words are that they'll start mid-May through Kies in Europe and it'll feather out. Since Sprint versions don't work with Kies, it may up to Sprint to push the updates here (which may take a long while) or if Samsung is really aggressive, maybe we'll see it through them.

Since Kies is the main avenue of pushing it, I wouldn't anticipate it soon. May be worth following the Honeycomb ROM (DONATE TO THIS CAUSE) and taking the time to flash it. Then brag that you have cheap Honeycomb Galaxy Tabs for sale in your store.
[Galaxy Tab General] lardman:
I'm also curious about this, but perhaps it would be better in a new thread for people to post their country and a confirmation once it's available over Kies.

I've started a thread to list confirmed countries here, please add to it as and when it becomes available in your country: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086484
[Galaxy Tab General] garysargent:
Really? I would think downloading the image once and applying it multiple times would be far quicker than connecting each tab up in Kies and have it download the firmware from the Internet 120 times!
[Galaxy Tab General] dkwolf:
well if you did know our users then you would say the same :) KIES is also a bit more secure then Odin. And since i work for the Danish goverment, we better follow the rules :D
[Nook Color General] xtigerr:
What's the easiest way to go from autonooter 1.1 to rooted stock 1.2? Is it the manual nooter? When is says to do a clean wipe, can I use the stock reformat from b&n? Or do i have to do it thru CWM? I'm assuming it would be the wipe data/factory reset option?
[Nook Color General] beezy69:
i need to know this too
[Nook Color General] akaCat:
The clean wipe probably means the 8 reboot factory reset. That's what I did between autonooter 1.1 and stock 1.2. Once you're on stock 1.2 you can manual nooter. (Sorry, I don't know if that last requires CWM -- I went to CM7 before manual nooter was available.)
[Nook Color General] robjective:
I just went through this yesterday. Here's what I found...

Use one of the files from this post

and follow the instructions for flashing it in this post

Then run ManualNooter

There is at least one glitch with MN, but I read somewhere that you are fine flashing new versions on top of the older versions.

And of course you will want to install Netflix, so go for the one that doesn't check device, so you don't have to change build.prop

[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Now that I got the new OTA from HTC, do I still need to keep USB debugging on?
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
Well, thats up to you.

USB Debugging is used for development purposes done by programs such as HTC Sync, adb, etc...

they use it to modify, install or delete programs, copy data, read log files, etc....

I personally keep it on so that i when i use one of these programs, i dont have to go back and turn it on. But you can turn it off if you want.
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Thanks for your reply, but I should have been more specific in my question. Back in FroYo it was advisable to leave USB debugging always on as it solved the problem of the UI being slow and jittery at times. I was wondering if this still applies in GB. For what its worth I have mine switched off and haven't noticed any problems yet (although I've only had GB for 12 hrs).
[Desire HD General] NefariousNipple:
I've not read anything on needing it on in GB. I guess the answer would be to test it yourself and see. Alternatively just leave it off and if you have any speed issues with the phone, turn it back on and see if that helps at all.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
No you do not need to use it.
[Desire HD General] sharulazlan:
if you use custom ROM... then need to enable that... stock ROM no need...
[Desire HD General] NefariousNipple:
Only when you want to flash the radio or anything else via cmd. Otherwise it shouldn't be needed.
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Thanks for all the replies. I can now also confirm that keeping USB debugging off does not cause any sluggishness.
[Acer Iconia A500] negrix:
Any hacks or tips for increasing volume? I have tried disabling the Dolby settings and it does sound a little louder but not much. I was not expecting great sound from the onboard speakers, but the headphones are very low. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance !
[Acer Iconia A500] Ruteral:
my guess your original video sound is low. i don't have a better way. sometimes when i convert some videos with my converter, there is a setting to increase the video sound. i don't know whether you have the same experience.
[Acer Iconia A500] Elizabeth05:
Hi, Ruteral

i really has the same experience with you, it solve the volume problem, but there is something wrong on the video,it is printed on a logo, i just try a free version of foxreal's video tool. maybe this is their safeguard to make us buying.

which tool do you use? does it a free one?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exca:
Hello guys ,

Eversince i have S_OFF my desire i've got this problem.

If i pull out the usb plug, doesn't matter if it's connected to the pc or the adaptor, my phone crashes and does a reboot. Even if I pull out the adaptor itself from the powersocket. This is kinda odd, can't find anything about it. As for the rest of it, the S-OFF went pretty straightforward without any problems and the device states it is S-OFF, no further problems or whatsoever.

What could this be? Kinda annoying. Thanks!

I've been playing around with the camera today and got a few interesting results. So I've created this thread so that we can post and share our pictures and settings used to achieve them. I feel this would be good for people who perhaps are not familiar with our cameras settings and would like to get better shots.

I think our SGS2s camera can achieve some fantastic results :cool:

Please post your favourite shot and the settings you used below:D
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
Here is mine to start off.

Settings:

-White Balance; Sunlight.

-Metering; Matrix

-ISO auto or 100 (I think, forgot)
[Galaxy S II General] computermilk:
holy CRAP that's nice... i'll try to take some later =D

What resolution is that? the Max setting also?
[Galaxy S II General] PyroCF:
My first macro shot with the SGSII, results were better than expected!

I believe everything was pretty much set to auto, except focus.

I should have some more lying around.
[Galaxy S II General] trungdaika:
Nice shot:)

Whenever I point the phone to my dog, he thinks it's something like a gun so he runs away.

Can you tell me what's diffirent between metering : spot, matrix...?
[Galaxy S II General] drkaos:
Here in Spain it's ice-cream time ;)

I always shoot in min ISO, so ISO 100. Both in macro mode.

Another macro shot (also ISO 100):
[Galaxy S II General] rafael000:
wow! amazing shots!!! very sharp and nice DOF
[Galaxy S II General] computermilk:
OMG wow.... Ok i will post some soon.
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
There is centre-weighted, Spot and matrix metering.

These options take readings from the image which adjusts exposure to the image being produced according to the light intensities.

Centre- weighed towards the centre and averaged throughout the rest of the scene

Spot- the camera will only measure a very small area of the centre spot, useful when there is a relatively small object within your scene which you need to be perfectly exposed.

Matrix - takes reading from split areas of the scene to calculate the best exposure and sets it according to an average.

...I think:confused:

It's all a bit complicated to be honest, well for me it is, I'm just a beginner.
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
Highest res and Image quality, 3264x2448 (8MP)
[Galaxy S II General] PyroCF:
A few more of mine:

This more of a spur of the moment shot, I just wanted to test how it would look!

And finally one to test how good the flash would be in pitch black:
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
give that angry bird toy to me or i will kill u. the results of the flash seems excellent. thanks a lot buddy
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
matrix mode does not take "split areas" (it might just be a language issue however), it splits the images into a matrix (a table if you prefer) and finds out the best exposure for each point in the matrix.

this usually fixes up expose problems and while i didnt test the matrix implementation of the sgs2 im surprised it doesn't default to it, in theory, it should make all those overexposed pics ppl take on smartphones look "mostly" fine

centered will not, and you always notice it when the lighting is not correct, with the burned out / over exposed edges
[Galaxy S II General] rob_h:
Lots of nice cars.

Centre weighted, ISO 40. Really happy with the camera.
[Galaxy S II General] kultus:
Im interested in this thing: lock exposure after focusing. e.g. SE X10 and other sony ericssons are capable to lock exposure after phone camera focus on object. Then you can move phone to other position and fullpress to take picture...this is very good when dificult light conditions...THX for answer
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
thanks for clearing that up
[Galaxy S II General] =dave=:
iso 40?? how can you choose 40? iso 100 is the lowest on mine :(
[Galaxy S II General] Komatoes:
Just in case others haven't noticed, there is a Camera firmware update available. Don't ask me where I found it but it was in the "Samsung Apps" app somewhere! ;) I have no idea what it improves either (if anything). :D

[Galaxy S II General] kultus:
unbelievable!!! :p:D:D when you setup ISO to auto setting...in good light conditions phone will shoot photo with ISO only 40 (weird because on other samsung phones the lowest and most common was ISO50)...
[Galaxy S II General] OneZeoN:
whats this "ISO" setting mean?
[Galaxy S II General] trungdaika:

[Galaxy S II General] dave2:

This picture is the only one that i think wasn't blurry. My settings are everything on auto and anti-shaking on.
[Galaxy S II General] Nameless21:
i can't use anti shake. its there but dark and can't be selected. i think the firmware may have stopped it.
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
Hmm that's strange, have you tried resetting the camera settings?
[Galaxy S II General] Nameless21:
First thing I tried.
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
Oh, worth a shot. Are you on KE1 or 2?
[Galaxy S II General] mattism78:
I don't see the cat picture as being blurry. There is depth of field going on in the picture and perhaps that's what you're mistaking as blur. I'm not sure what type of focal points the camera has but from the looks of your shot you're on more of a macro setting that lowers your aperture.

rob_h, those are some truly magnificent pieces of machinery in that picture. I would have went camera crazy in that situation.
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
Got another snap of my dog, she's such a poser.
[Galaxy S II General] Nameless21:

[Galaxy S II General] hazart:
I found that "Auto Contrast" is turned off every time I start the camera application, i.e. the camera doesn't remember that I set "Auto Contrast" to on. Does anyone else experience this?

Yeah, I think it happens on everyone's. It resets some settings after closing the Camera, slightly annoying.

I am a daily data user, on $30 "unlimited" data plan, and just a day ago downloaded and began using the Netflix app and have streamed 8 movies over hspda. Whoops. Should've used Wi-Fi.
