[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schrickm5:
KE2 and 7 are just firmware updates from Samsung, am not sure if they are generic or related to specific markets. KE7 works for me, I still have root and now I have the extra 4mb (833 to 837 mb)....so something worked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rural:
Next question.

If I install the new coming firmwares via Odin, then it will NOT take my root away?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes reroot .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampyren:
Not sure if yours came with KE7 but if you upgraded did you loose all your data/settings? Comming from iPhone i'm used to loose them all when flashing but then i can simply connect to iTunes and restore everything just the way it was (game saves, all phone settings, appz&games, contact etc).

How is this achieved in Android enviroment (SGII) when you flash a new firmware?

(contact, calendar, bookmars i know will be synced back through google but i'm more intressted in my save data, appz and settings).I read Titanum backup does this but not sure if you can transfer from one firmware to another?

sorry for many questions but Android is a new world for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Kies firmware does not wipe data etc .

Odin update does not wipe data but depends upon the update .

Rule one RTFM

Rule two RTFM

Rule three Backup your EFS folder

Rule four have a copy of original firmware if possible

Rule five have a backup

Rule six read the FAQS on the post thats flashing current firmware custom rom or whatever .

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemonumber3:
So I called sprint and they said apparently the previous owner had their account suspended or something. Can I somehow clone my HTC Hero's identity to the Optimus with CDMA workshop?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
short answer:

From what I know, at least using the old cdma workshop no, support may have changed since then - other programs out there yes.

Long:

regardless, what you're trying to do is almost certainly illegal.There might be loop holes if you get Sprint's/phone's manufactures permissions to change them - good luck.

if you clone (like the op says) and you have two phones with the same ESN and try to use both, that's definitely illegal.

Plus I'm quite sure XDA has rules against topics like this :eek: - i'm not going to mention anything tho ;)

FCC on Fraud/ESNs

Only thing I can say is, Ask sprint what they can do, if anything about it and the options you may have.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemonumber3:
Ok I have an idea; I have a water logged blackberry curve (1st gen) and is still functional. the esn on it is clean. If I clone that esn to the Optimus and destroy the water logged blackberry, do you think i'd be ok? I mean, if that blackberry is completely dead after I clone it, then I wouldn't be stealing data or anything :)

is this a reasonable idea?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Personally I would think that'd work/be ok.

Legally? No idea, I'm not a lawyer haha, but I'd still guess it's a no.

I mean you can always just try that and see if they'll activate it for you - or whatever you want them to do... The worst that would probably happen is they tell you the ESN already exists so you still can't use the phone - if they can even tell its from another phone, again not completely sure.

Edit: how fitting, my 666th post was about esn cloning >:}
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemonumber3:
Haha I like the 666 edit. Good humor bud! :)
[General Questions and Answers] GeoMil:
Ahoy!

I just started a job that requires me to dictate reports to be typed up.

I have searched the market, but can't really find anything suitable.

There are 2 essential features I am looking for;

1) the ability to rewind your recording

2) the ability to edit, (for example if i make a mistake dictating, rewind, then continue recording from the middle again.

I can't believ there is no app I can find that does this? Any help guys?

(Or is this a problem with digital recording in general??)

Thanks in advance.....
[General Questions and Answers] praetorian droid:
Hello.

Do you looking for just audio recording app or speech-to-text translator/editor?
[General Questions and Answers] GeoMil:
Na, I don't need any voice to text functions. Just a straight audio recorder with the abilty to rewind a mistake and continue recording over it, you know like a 'tape' dictaphone?
[General Questions and Answers] GeoMil:
............
[General Questions and Answers] GeoMil:
I'm amazed there is no such thing as a Dictaphone app.

Has anyone tried any non-DRM material yet? Curious if they've locked that down the way they claimed they would. I lost all my mp3 DRM keys in a tragic boating accident. :D
[EVO 4G General] spencer88:
I'm still waiting for my invite as well.
[EVO 4G General] tigereyeslalo:
I don't own a Xoom but my brother does. A quick trick to get a fast invite was just to log into my Google account on his xoom and download an app from the market. That way it registered as me being a Xoom user :) So, just find xomeone that has a Xoom, log into your Google account for a minute on their Xoom, download some random app on the market and remote your Google account for their Xoom :) works like a charm. Three other friends have used my brother's Xoom to get a quick invite to the service.
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
I just want to know if anyone can verify this? I have read it and know HTC uses the product.

But on its product page there is nothing and on the official site of gorilla glass there is nothing yet.

Anyone find confirmation?
[HTC Sensation] chrisg1548:
the answer is yes mr.orange303. i cannot post a link but android central has confirmed it.
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
Yeah I know so many have reported it.

I just can't find where corning or tmo has said it or show it.

That's my last major hurdle to clear. Thanks BTW
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
If all the reports already confirming it don't seem convincing enough. Consider history, look at all the HTC devices Corning has already confirmed:

Neither the carriers or HTC ever confirmed it in those either. Corning will probably update their list to mention the Sensation in time. The reports confirming it and the history of a relationship between HTC and Corning bears out that the Sensation having Gorilla Glass is fact.
[HTC Sensation] Chad_Petree:
gorilla glass SUCKS, my milestone scratched and my inspire 4g scratched to in no time :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
better than regular glass. it's not scratch-proof. it's just scratch resistant. my milestone and ipod touch have scratches.
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
had my desire for a year now and only one scratch on it, no idea where it came from as i regularly put my phone in my pocket with money and keys and never had a scratch from it....if i use a cloth the glass is completely clear of scratches except a single 2 inche scratch i have, no idea how it got there though
[HTC Sensation] Chad_Petree:
im just curious, what kind of glass does the iphone 4 uses , my dad barely takes care of his and its spotless :/
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
Ignorance. Of course it can scratch. But its hard to do. Very hard if you take care of your phone.
[HTC Sensation] MrPontus:
only sand will scratch it, I only have one scratch on my Desire after 13 months, it was my college who dropped it on a sandy floor :(

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mousiope:
hey guys check this app

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087427

this is an alternate driver for open gl that lets us reduce texture sixe and texture quality among others in our milestones

less texture size and texture quality equals more memory our main problem

i´ve installed it on mine and there are some graphical glitches but i was able to play games that lagged terribly before, that now run much much smoother

i don´t have the time or expertise to explore more this app if someone wants to contribute please do .

PS : i+ve installed it on miui gb 2.3 and works fine, please read the safety precautions present in the thread of the developper or make a nandroid backup before you install this !!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] salisbury_steak:
Looks promising, I might try it tomorrow. A word of caution though, it says that the developer designed the app for phones with 1GHz or higher CPUs, so stock Milestone speeds may not cut it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Decreasing texture size will cause the cpu to be slowed down quite a lot because the milestone's processor will constantly be compressing the textures.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Abazel:
Technically, the CPU on our Milestone should have run by default at ~1 Ghz, but it has been underclocked for unknown reasons (battery problems, marketing strategy... idk). Anyway, with a bit of OC it shouldn't be any problem.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Sadly it doesn't work. I'm assuming the main reason why you want this is for gameloft games. But chainfire shrinks all the writing and doesn't touch the 3d textures :L so it gives a 0.5fps gain and makes all text unreadable
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scoutme:
Actually, I forced 16bit textures (not lower res, that is excessive though effective) and set an aggressive mem freeing schema ("Gaming" SuperCharger profile), and finally got lot of games running.

I think that gameloft games like Modern Warfare 2 would run also on our stones. I can run Samurai Vengeance 2 without any problem, with these settings.

At the moment, sounds like the only way to use modern games...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
Modern Warfare 2 runs pretty well on CM7 without Chainfire3D, but if you want to play Shadow Guardian HD it will help alot. It is very usefull app and I can't see much differences in graphics, but performance is visible higher (and games need less ram memory).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackhawk1:
I wonder if anyone have the same problem.

I havex10 mini in australia the battery life is about 24hrs very little usage.

But in saigon it lasted for 3 days. I wonder why. I have only gsm network selected anyway.

Similarly iphone battery last longer in vietnam as well
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Hello, Well it's easy to explain that, Joule effect (Some physic laws) Say:

Q = I^2 R t

Being Q, temperature, I current, R, resistance, and t time, so as you can see it depends from temperature, and it's proportional to 1/time (inverse) so from city to city temperature changes. Here on my city, its hot, so battery drain faster.

Im sorry this was the first phyisic law i remmember, there are many others, that explain that on a easier way, Please someone correct me if im wrong.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Also if in australia only high mhz gsm network exists it will most likely drain more power to keep gsm connected
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
Your phone stresses itself trying to find a signal if you hold the top of the phone where it the signal is usually hidden. Plus, it depends on how far you are from network posts.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nibras_reeza:
It would be more accurate to say battery life varies with operational conditions.

Different countries and different places have,

Different temperature.

Higher temperatures speed up the chemical reactions that get the electricity. So, at higher temperatures, battery will drain faster. Also, all batteries deteriorate with very high or very low temperatures. That means, the battery life deteriorates faster depending on operating temperature.

Different network coverage.

Signal coverage is not uniform. Although an area might be covered, it might still have bad GPRS/Data coverage while GSM coverage is good. So, network coverage is not only those bars at the top.

Different usage patterns.

Some countries have lots of free wifi hotspots. Some countries don't have free wifi hotspots at all. So, depending on your place, the usage ratio between data and wifi changes even if the time you stay connected to internet might be same.

I cant install a froyo image right... Due to the CWM and i cant install an unsigned gingerbread image right due to the S-ON am i stuck or is there something that i can do.

I Think That a signed gingerbread rom would work but the one post of it that i can find i can't download from for some reason.

Any Help is Awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
You custome recovery? You could flash a new rom on there s-off jus take sign checks in bootloader, not recovery, a simple wipe and reflash of cm 7 would brring phone bacl
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastludeh22:
Close, but not quite. From what I've been told (haven't tested myself) but when you s-on it will say its flashing, but boot.img will not flash.

Now you could try wiping and reflashing same exact cm rom you had and is a small chance will work, but if it doesn't you can do this:

You will need a wpthis.ko specfic to whatever kernal is currently installed. You will also need adb installed and working.

put wpthis.ko in sdk folder

Have phone connected to comp.

Boot into recovery.

Goto advanced mounts and mount /data

Then type:

adb remount

adb push wpthis.ko /data/local/wpthis.ko

adb shell should bring up #

insmod /data/local/wpthis.ko (should get function not implemented error)

Then go back to advanced mounts and unmount /data

Now wipe and flash rom of choice.

Once your up and running, rerun gfree.

Good luck, let me know how it goes.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
If that's true then at first attempt at root would fail and couldn't install cm at all?

Also if that's the case look in the forums how to get s-off and eng-boot on from the help guides

But if anythinf do some real good reading b4 attempting so don't hose your phone
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compgeek13:
Fixed

Thanks to all i knew that it had been posted. I ended up reflashing with the Gingerbread Official Rom Leak and it worked perfectly. Thanks to Football and ilostchild.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastludeh22:
But can you root now? I didn't suggest the offical gb because I haven't looked into if there is a root method for it.

I guess you could replace the misc.img to downgrade and re root if all else fails.

And ilostchild, I'm not understanding your question. You go s-off before ever flashing a custom rom like cm.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
there is no root or temp root for the new rom, once flashed kinda stuck on there, gignerbreak wont work either

im asking how is he running recovery/rom and still s-on i seen a few ppl with this, and im askin how he do that?

Just spoke with a sprint rep and asked about the E3d. The rep told me the initial date for E3d was july 3rd. The rep then went on to sassy that date has since been cancelled. So considering that sprint is not even accepting preorders or even announcing a release date june 4th is a bit unrealistic. Personally for me the sooner the better however I am a realist and a june 4th release date with the company not even announcing preorders seems a but unrealistic. A realistic date would be more a july/august date though I hour much sooner.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Why do people even bother talking to Sprint reps? No offense but they do not know any more than we do. Some info will probably be leaked online before the reps even know about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Emmexx:
Truthfully, if this doesn't hit until August, I might consider waiting for the quad cores promised for the end of the year. At this point, August is 3 months away. If I only have to wait another 3 or 4 months after that for 2 more cores, that doesn't sound like a bad way to go.

why do people doubt this info. Seems legit to me. as far as sprint announcing anything they didn't announce the nexus till about a week before it came out so it is not hard to believe the same will happen with this phone. Have faith people cuz I sure do:)
[HTC EVO 3D] Nrbelex:
I'm as excited as anyone, but does nobody else read "rough" as meaning "this is our best guess"?

This is RadioShack after all, and as it says on the very same screen, they have absolutely no pricing info. I simply see this as a RadioShack manager optimistically entering the date in since it's the anniversary of the Evo 4G and the release is clearly relatively soon.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes up...
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
July/august seems highly unlikely. Recently release date announcements have been made roughly 2 weeks in advance. Ill guess we'll know soon if they keep with this trend with the E3D
