[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
While "always log in via SSL" is a great suggestion, the Google services aren't going to go over a secure channel (unless you have VPN enabled).

The same warning should apply if you aren't using WPA2 -- the older WEP (and WPA) is still common on many "secure" wireless connections, especially home units, and takes not more than a few minutes to crack with widely available tools.

http://www.google.com/search?q=wep+crack

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access

WPA2 has replaced WPA; WPA2 requires testing and certification by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular, it introduces CCMP, a new AES-based encryption mode with strong security. Certification began in September, 2004; from March 13, 2006, WPA2 certification is mandatory for all new devices to bear the Wi-Fi trademark.​
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zuben el genubi:
This is what I was asking about in another post. I like to vacation where I have 0-1 bars on the phone, and motel wifi is available. I would like my pet/house sitting service to be able to call me when I'm away.

Also kid moved to England. We use Skype, Skype on Android is wifi only.

Mostly do use home WPA encrypted, but there should be some kind of safety for those who do need the service. Do not use the phone for personal stuff like banking, etc. even on a network.

And there are areas here in the west where there is no service for any carrier. Canyons are not conducive to line of site.

SGS4G does have wifi calling built in.

I picked up a NS 4G on launch day and so far it has rebooted itself 3 times. I've factory reset the phone once and the Youtube app (that said installed, but wasn't there) finally showed up, but it has still rebooted once since then. Anyone else had this problem? This is not during a phone call like the TMo version had...just using the phone. Combined with the low signal and not being able to find a browser I like real well, I may be returning it. Thoughts? Thanks.
[Nexus S General] A_Guy71:
I got my NS4G on launch day, and it hasn't rebooted on me at all, aside from when I do it myself. Sounds like a hardware problem..my HTC Hero used to reboot pretty often.
[Nexus S General] thepolishguy:
I got my 4G a few days ago. No reboots at all.

I had a system update when I started my A500 this morning. I was sure it was the 3.1 update. The update was done correctly and the tab was shut down. When I powered it up I checked the Android version and I didn’t see anything changed, it is still version 3.0.1. The Kernel version is 2.6.36.3 and the build number is 1.139.05_com_GEN1.

Anyone else had the update and if so, what did it updated?

[Droid 2 Global General] nickro8303:
So I'm new to this if you can't already tell. I know enough to be dangerous though.

Yesterday I tired to install a ROM on my D2G that was for a D2. Not realizing that I couldn't do that. I was able to recover from my backup without any problems. Then I found a thread that mentioned you could use a D2 ROM on a D2G by flashing D2G Romer and D2G Sensors after the initial ROM flash. That was successful but when I booted the phone I could not click on the Android to start the setup. So I booted to the recovery and wiped cashe and data / factory reset. Then tried to go through setup again, still not working.

So then I decided to do a recovery using RSDlite and SBF. I got an error when trying to do this.

Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode. (0x70BE)

It gets all the way to 99% before it fails.

Any ideas on what I can do or am doing wrong or maybe it's just fubar.
[Droid 2 Global General] qipengart:
I think that Romer is a high risk proposition that can cause locking out the user from flashing a new SBF file. Not sure but I suspect that you have a permanent brick sadly enough.

[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
There are countless things that can cause this. apps being the most common. Check under applications in the settings menu, and any app that can have it's data cleared, clear it. Mine did that with facebook, so I turned off the facebook sync completely and works fine now.

OP, also give a glance at services. I had an app installed that I hadn't even run a single time, end up running as a service, unbeknownst to me, that was making my keyboard lag badly.

Couldn't figure it out for awhile, since I had never intentionally run the app, and it wasn't showing in list of running apps.

But there it was, in services. Promptly uninstalled. Problem solved.

Was that the one amazon had for free one day recently?

If so, interesting coincidence, as the app I mentioned prior post that was causing me problems was wave launcher, which I downloaded just because amazon had it free one day.

I just prefer my apps to wait until I run them at least once before initializing themselves as a service.

None of the popular launchers that I'm aware of, for example, automatically replace your current launcher until you tell it to.

Lol. I definitely check the free app of the day, every day, and if it strikes my fancy, I'll grab it.

Today i flashed my Tab with Gingerbread 2.3.3 for the forth time after Moding it a bit while having the Galaxy S plugged in and of course Odin flashed both...

so probably it changed the bootloader on it and now the Galaxy S wouldn't respond to anything,

button combinations dont work

plugging usb and then holding Vol-Up + Vol-Down while slipping battery back does nothing, I even tried the mythical Hair dryer and that took me nowhere

... its dead.

I read somewhere that the JIG is not for my case so i skipped it...

now what? is there anything else i should try? if not, is taking it to good ol' Sammy going to do me any good?

or should i just consider it a very expensive piece of home decoration.

***PS sorry if i posted this in the wrong section.

Hi all.

There´s any way to use HD extern with Entertainment Center? I plugged an HD on my Dock and the EC dont recognized my movies on it, just the movies on phone´s internal memory.

My hd is on FAT32 and all movies compatible with my phone.

I think if I cant do that, this is very disappointing.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazcalito:
Here's an interesting problem that I've run into with at least two custom gingerbread installs. I had previously Odin-installed the four file version of lidroid 2.4.5-t959 that uses the 19000 bootloader and had no problems with this build at all (a few people had tried to install Vibrant bootloaders on top of this build and ended up bricking their phones, discussed in that thread)

These problems all result from rom installs using clockwork recovery. In at least two of these installs, a ported version of Lidroid 2.5.0 and Simply Honey 3.5 Revolution, the rom installed perfectly but there was "no service" and I couldn't turn on the network in settings. In fact, the Simply Honey install would not recognize that I had a sim card in the phone. I took the sim card out and put it back in, but it still didn't see the sim card.

I was able to get back into download mode and then to lidroid 2.4.0 on each of these installs. A funny thing is that using the boot menus to get to download mode will get you to the download mode screen, but this screen won't actually work with Odin, or it didn't with me. Pulling the battery, putting it back in, and holding down the up volume, home, and power buttons while plugging in the USB cable did get to a working download mode.

Since this has happened with two different builds, I wonder if there is some incompatibilities with various versions of clockwork recovery, like for the I9000 and the Vibrant. Ya think? (has to be a question, lol.):p

I noticed in a third rom I tried to install with clockwork recovery, I got a message saying that the scripts in the update file had been deprecated in that version of clockwork recovery. I have not yet tried flashing to stock JFD and then flashing the custom roms. That might well work (maybe giving "rainbows" in some builds.)

For those who prefer the odin install of lidroid over the ported one, the direct link to 2.5.0-t959 is here. The link is also at the development thread for the 2.4.0 / 2.5.0 port, (under "1.A.K.A Lidroid And His Friend Jean77211") but that link goes to a page in chinese that you have to run through google translate unless you can read chinese. You can get to the direct link to 2.5.0-t959 but it is a little round-about. The translated page gives credits and disclaimers that people should probably read anyway.

Lidroid 2.4.0 is reliable (if you don't install the Vibrant bootloaders on top of that install!) and I'm downloading the 2.5.0 rom now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctrhenry:
I am having a recurring issue with my screen going unresponsive. It does not happen regularly, sometimes putting it in standby and back with the power key will fix it other times I have to soft reset.

I have changed ROMs a few different times and I am now using Laurentious (sp) Rom. I run task 29.

I do not think it is the rom and think it may be time for a new screen but I want to trouble shoot it to be sure before I spend the money.

Any tips or ideas?

also where can I find the .cab file for the stock task manager?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:
Have you already tested your HD2 without SD card?

Does it show the same behavior?

Have you tried to format your SD card after a backup (copying your needed files)?

For formating SD card I recomend SD Formatter 3.0 and a card reader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctrhenry:
No I havent. The SD card could be causing the Sense to be unresponsive? Ill do that and see if it helps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:
A not fully functional SD card can be responsible for many issues, according to many post I read.

But also there is a possibility of wrong/bad combination of (H)SPL and RADIO needed for the diferent ROMs you tested.

Installed apps and customisations can also cause problems.

And sometimes double action on the HD2 can also cause such kind of freezes. For example: powering on the HD2 at the same time you receive a SMS or call, changing/adding appointments at the same time your reminder gets active.

BTW: I don't know Laurentius26 ROMs, but according to the given information in the thread the original task manager should still be there. Have a look in windows menu or with file explorer in windows folder.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctrhenry:
changed out to a new SD card and Josh Rom 1.8 which has been the most stable one i have used. It is still occurring. Guess it is time for an upgrade
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocklobster702:
I've had this happen to 3 different HD2's...

Seems to be somewhat of a design flaw since it keeps occurring.

The manual plastic power button sits above the area of the small flex cable that goes to the digitizer. The plastic from the power button tends to occasionally strike that flex cable depending upon the amount of push pressure to it causing the fragile flex cable to eventually short. That's why sometimes when you power it off and then power it back on again, it'll work.

I think the problem gets exacerbated when you get in the habit of cleaning your screen as I do. I hate fingerprints and always wipe the whole screen down and rub it clean with my T-shirt, but I also am not being mindful of abrasively rubbing the buttons. Sometimes I'll find myself rubbing a bit too hard and probably disturbing the buttons in a manner or direction that doesn't fair well for the flex cable.

On 2 separate occasions I was always able to remedy the problem by replacing the digitizer... and now it's happening again with a 3rd unit of mine. It's just one of those wear & tear things that stands good chance to happen with time if you're not mindful of the exact problem every time you power on or power off your screen or clean your screen.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrambler3:
Relax :)

I bought a used T-mobile galaxy tab on Ebay, and I actually called T-Mobile to check if it was stolen of if the IMEI was clean so I could get a Sim card for it eventually. The T-Mobile Rep told me they do not have a list of bad IMEIs, they do not care and do not block IMEIs and that even if was stolen they could still give me a SIM card for it.

No great in a way... but you should be fine
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomiq:
hmm.. the police wont arrest you and wont track you, you are just being paranoid, find a sim card and test it, if is not a blocked imei you are fine, if it is there is a way to change the imei of the tab, but you have to be aware that changing the imie is illegal in most of the countries and you would do it knowing the risk

Trouble is that I can't get any sort of data access. Voice and SMS work, but no data is coming through. I have full bars, but normally there is an E or H to the left of them with up and down arrows and that is gone. Google logins aren't working and no internet for any applications.

Good Luck :) i hope it all works out
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsboxerboy1:
So it's a combination of the below answers. For anyone looking to do this you want get to the APN settings page then and make a new profile but only set the apn to be "3services" no quotes. I tried three.co.uk, but that doesn't work. 3services works just fine though and speeds are pretty reasonable. Also, you must enable data roaming as the above poster mentioned as well.

Thanks for the help guys :) much appreciated.
