I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but a while back, I was playing around with my Kin Twom, putting in contacts and such, and I got a message, and deleted it straight without looking at it, but when I go to the home screen, it still says I have an unread message, and has been this way for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't been able to find any information on why this happened or how to fix it, and this forum seems to be the best place to find info on Kin dev and such.

If you have any ideas that might fix this (without clearing the data preferably) then I give you my thanks in advance.
[KIN One and Two General] kintworooter:
Sometimes i get a simular problem: text messages do not load. Ill click a conversation but just see an empty screen when I know i have messages. In this case i reboot the phone and it fixes it
[KIN One and Two General] gwd1994:
I've rebooted it several times in the past few weeks I've had it, but it still says there is an unread message.

Thats odd

That sucks, man. Have your tried doing a soft reset? I think it requires a button combination but idk what it is since i never needed to do one.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihedbf:
hi everybody,

i am new with android i have HTC desire HD when i got it it was 1 month old so it was installed CM7 but because i dont like devices with non original software so i ask someone expert to instal for me the original rom with HTC sense the one which come from factory with desire HD(i know that CM7 maybe is better version and includes new features but i like HTC sense...:D)

so now i have in software information

android version 2.3.3

HTC sense version 2.1

is that the right one or no??

and if yes is it the latest version from HTC for desire HD (of course i mean the officiel rom) because if i go to settings/software updates/check now it says: there are no updates for your phone.

do i can upgrade my htc sense to the newer version than the one i have? i know that sense 3.0 is not officiel for DHD so are there earlier versions which can be installed on my device or if the sense 3.0 is good can i installed too??

thanks a lot for your help and thanks a lot for the people working day and night to make this forum helpful for us.

okay... the first step that u need to learn and do its

1- if your current version of android its upper than 1.32xx u need to do DOWNGRADE

2-then u need to do ROOT for obtain superuser permissions for total acces to your handset (like any Linux OS)

3-install the CLOCKWORK MOD recovery

4-do RADIO S-OFF & ENG S-OFF + SUPERCID (CID 1111111)if u want to flash any baseband, or another rom diferent of your carrier etc... this step it´s needed..

this 4 steps are in this thread... read and familiarizate with the concepts before flashing....

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyArmstrong:
I've read somewhere that they are in /res/drawable/Launcher.apk or something, but I'm hoping that's not correct... I even searched the Android Developer site (as well as here, to no avail).

Can anyone tell me definitively where they are?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
\system\app\Launcher2.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\

There are 2 images for each (thumbnail and full size image). They can be changed as long as you maintain the original file name/type/and image size. Otherwise if you wanted to put your own named images within the launcher2.apk it would require some xml edits to match your file names. But it is a nice touch to have all your favorite wallpapers as part of the wallpaper chooser. I've done it myself and it is super simple.

good day.

Any troubles with the newest patch?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Ok. This is getting out of hand.

Last week I go to Orange. Ask about the GS2 and I get an answer that it will be coming in 2 weeks time. NFC-enabled Handsets.

Today my friend f*cked up his SGS I so we both went into the Samsung Repair Centre in Angel, London and got it flashed to the latest 2.3.3 JVO.

I ask politely if I could speak to the mobile engineer, 1min later he comes out. I ask him about the SGS II and NFC. I said I got mine from CPW and that I went to Orange last week enquiring and that they are going to have NFC-SGS II's in two weeks time. Is this true?

He responded with a certain N O

"Out of all the Samsung handsets we have which has Near field communications embedded into the device is the Nexus S."

"The Galaxy S II, our Samsung HQ (U.K) has not heard anything about the SGS II with NFC coming to the U.K, we always get a heads up on this and training. But I myself or any other engineers have any resources and supplies for this"

"The sim basically can be incorporated with NFC. As there is no need to have a power source from the actual phone or device itself. Only the receiving end. e.g Like our underground Oyster cards no need for the card itself to maintain any power."

He kept asking me if I was 100% sure that Orange are really getting NFC SGSII's or are they going to issue NFC SIMS and that as of this moment they have not been informed or trained and that if Orange is really planning on having this by two weeks they certainly would know. SINCE THEY ARE THE REPAIR CENTRE OBVIOUSLY.-.-

FREAKING CONFUSING. That ENGINEER is lying or the stories going around the internet saying U.K NFC Confirmed is BS &/or Orange staff are clueless...

I believe Engineer I talked to because

1. He acknowledged that Samsung's own software KIES is a BAG OF SHI*E

2. He flashed my friends SGS to the latest JVO Gingerbread :)

3. He knew his stuff well on SGS II. With all the latest **** ups they had with recent firmwares. He asked if I was on the latest one :)

Guys personally I dont care, I've given up and going to exchange my faulty handset to a new one from CPW this week. Not waiting my ass for this.
[Galaxy S II General] slice77:
A phone with an embedded NFC chip (ala Nexus S) has very different capabilities than a phone w/o + a NFC SIM card.

The former can have deep integration with apps for read/write/emulation. The latter is effectively taping a more secure Oyster card to your phone.

The former requires Samsung to bring a different SKU to shops. The latter requires your carrier and bank, transit authority, or other NFC user to team up and issue SIMs for a specific use.
[Galaxy S II General] tjjensen23:
This made me chuckle :D
[Galaxy S II General] slice77:
More to your point, I don't ever see a GS2 being released with an embedded NFC chip in a region it's already out in now. The best I predict are carrier produced NFC enabled SIM cards for mobile payments...if you get the right combo of carrier/bank agreements to work for your setup.

Regions where the GS2 has yet to be released (mainly the US) may have more luck with a version with embeded hardware
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Also, don't forget that the Korean version already has NFC. We've seen pictures of the NFC specific battery and hardware. Just because it exists doesn't mean it'll be widely distributed. It would be humorous if everyone who made such a big deal about NFC and decided to wait for the NFC SGS2 found it won't exist any time soon. Oh well, at least they'll be on KE7 out of the box.
[Galaxy S II General] will-i-am1977:
When can we find out if there will be one with NFC or not, I held back from buying one last week.

If its not going to be launched, I'm getting one this week
[Galaxy S II General] mattism78:
No one knows for sure. It's all hearsay at this point since there have been no official statements from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Another thought. The Nexus S, which has NFC, isn't really a Samsung-derived phone. It's built by Samsung for Google to their spec. It's no secret that Google's got the hots for NFC and wants to figure out a way to gain revenue from it. It makes sense that a Google developers phone would have it before any of the infrastructure to use it has been defined better yet built. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out both for the SGS2 in the short-term and everyday use and availability in the long-term.
[Galaxy S II General] coincoinlapin:
I'm hoping 32gb SGS2 may incorporate NFC...afer all, they haven't been released yet and must have been manufactured later.
[Galaxy S II General] DuoM:
I called Orange a couple of days ago and I was told that SGS II that was coming in early June was not an NFC enabled device and that they only had the one SKU in their system (the lady I spoke to could see through until mid-July). I was also told that the only NFC enabled phone they had was the Samsung Tocco Quick Tap. Since she didn't know the answers she had to put each question that I asked her to her supervisor.

I've looked at the documentation on the Orange UK website and I haven't seen anything to indicate that the GS II would be NFC enabled, even in the PDFs.

We'll see how this plays out in a few days but with all the confusion and conflicting reports (including reports in the media) Samsung UK should come out and make a clear and unambiguous statement about if and when we can expect an NFC version of the GS II in the UK.
[Galaxy S II General] hazart:
Glad that I didn't return my SGS2 for the NFC-enabled version "in June".
[Galaxy S II General] DuoM:
This post is from another thread and if what the poster says is true then even the Tocco Quick Tap doesn't have NFC built into the phone and what your engineer said about the Nexus S being the only phone they had (I think he means internally) with NFC built into the device would be correct.

Going with an NFC enabled SIM would probably make sense for Orange because they could add NFC to far more devices than they could if they relied on selling NFC enabled phones.
[Galaxy S II General] Droidcarp:
looks like the script is in the phone

init.rc

# permissions for NFC

setprop ro.nfc.port "I2C"

chmod 0600 /dev/pn544

chown nfc nfc /dev/pn544

So it may be a physical thing.

[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Google's making an announcement tomorrow about their embracing of NFC in the U.S. Here's a short article. Bottom line is between lack of standards, hesitancy by merchants to commit to a particular method, and few users, it's going to be a long time before NFC is more than a blip (at least in the U.S.)

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/228673/google_mobile_payments_muddies_the_water.html
[Galaxy S II General] nicoX:
So if they are able to put a small NFC chip in the sim card, then there is no need for a NFC chipped phone.
[Galaxy S II General] slice77:
The person you quoted doesn't know what they are talking about, flat out. I've said it elsewhere, and its getting a little old trying to keep rumors and all the nonsense in check: an NFC enabled SIM card will not have the same capabilities as a phone with an embedded NFC controller (like the Nexus S). The former would be used for secure transactions only where the latter could be accessed by developers via the 2.3.3 SDK for their apps (an example is DoubleTwist's new share-a-song feature), but could also be used for secure transactions given a partnership exists in your region (see Sprint + Goodle at tomorrow's announcement).

Samsung is misleading and confusing everyone (including their own employees it seems). They can say the phone is getting NFC if its via SIM or via an embedded chip and not be lying, but the different implementations will result in different feature sets.
[Galaxy S II General] DuoM:
They may not have the same capabilities but since Orange and Barclaycard have teamed up and launched NFC in the UK a few days ago an NFC enabled SIM may have the capabilities that they care about - *secure payments*.

Ok I just checked online and found this:

http://newsroom.orange.co.uk/2011/0...-s-first-contactless-mobile-payments-service/

"Quick Tap will use a secure SIM-based approach to mobile payments, providing a single point of contact for customer care as well as ensuring enhanced payment security for customers"

So it looks like Orange will be launching with SIM based NFC. So perhaps the person I quoted did know what they were talking about after all (at least when it came to how Orange were going to implement NFC).

Other links:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/40110/orange-barclaycard-nfc-payments-service

"The launch proposition will use a secure SIM-based approach to mobile payments, providing a single point of contact for customer care as well as ensuring enhanced payment security for customers."

http://gizmodo.com/5803859/orange-and-barclaycard-bring-nfc-to-uk-streets

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/20/orange-and-barclaycard-launch-quick-tap-nfc-mobile-payments-in/
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The SIM-based approach makes much more sense from a speed of adoption perspective. You can have an enabled audience in the millions relatively quickly. Can you imagine how long it would take for adoption if everyone had to have a NFC equipped phone? What about the different implementations across iPhone, Android, and Windows? As of right now,there is no standard. Orange and Barclay's will have theirs, Google via Samsung will have theirs, and god knows what will happen if Apple introduces NFC in the iPhone5. Smells a lot like VHS vs. Beta and Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD.

The forces behind NFC (other than Google and perhaps Apple without anyone knowing) are banks, credit card networks, and wireless carriers. They're looking for a slice of the "revenue from transactions" pie. Google being a development company probably is looking at NFC more deeply through more intricate features like app exchange, etc. But for the short-term, the mercenaries with their customer base's in the tens of millions are going to set the playing field.

I'd rather have no NFC chip than one that is left on an un-adopted standard. Half this board will probably get the SGS3 in a year when it comes out so maybe by then the whole NFC thing will shake out.
[Galaxy S II General] DuoM:
I just went to the UK version of the global Samsung site and downloaded all the manuals and guides there including the Orange UK specific versions.

I couldn't find anything about NFC, Quick Tap or Payments in them:

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...XEU/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

The latest versions of the User Manuals were posted yesterday.

As I said in a previous post, when I did the same for the Orange UK site there was no mention of NFC in their documents either.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
I think the news on sites about nfc enabled sgsII for u.k was all BS seriously. We'll know for sure in a weeks time however all the evidence is pointjng against it. Vodafone doesnt have it either.

The samsung engineer i spoke to was a senior engineer and he was dead certain there wont be nfc versions for now. As they will be the FIRST to know, obviously.

I'm actually curious how the rumour spread in the first place
[Galaxy S II General] wardy:
To be honest , all the Nexus S can do with it's NFC is exchange business cards at the moment. That is only with other Nexus S with enabled NFC in set up .

I am guessing most people want it for quick pay which will mean the SIM option is all you will need in reality . These will be the first usage of NFC . Card entry systems etc will follow later for phones . Like opening your car etc

By the time NFC hits off big time we will probably all have SGS IV s and by then will no doubt have NFC built in amongst other goodies .
