[Nexus One General] hsrn:
after using the nexus one for 1 year I got the htc sensation.

the big screen on the sensation is nice for surfing and stuff but i much prefer my old nexus for daily usage.

concerning the receiption and sound quality in aspects of classic telephone features, the nexus is superior to the htc sensation.

i do a lot of calls during a day therefore these features are important for me.

i don't see any advantage of the dual cores for now.

when i surf the internet while travelling by train the nexus one outperforms the sensation.

page load time with nexus one is lower than with the sensation because the receiption seems better with the nexus.

i don't plan to give my sensation back but if i have had to pay for it i would have given it back. that's for sure.
[Nexus One General] FaithCry:
how is the battery life? i heard from techradar its terrible but on engadget it got through a day no problem..
[Nexus One General] hsrn:
i use the phone in gsm only mode for most of the time and enable 3g just before i need it.

display brightness is set to lowest possible since i use it mostly in indoor environment.

this way i manage to get through one heavy work day.

in all it's comparable to the nexus one battery life.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Where did you get the Sensation and what carrier are u on? Does it have 4G?
[Nexus One General] hsrn:
I'm from germany and my carrier is vodafone.

When i switch to wcdma mode i get hsdpa (that's what you call 4g and we call it 3g+) connections in 90% of the cases where i live.

I have the impression that hsdpa needs stable receiption conditions.

When i commute locally by train i see the H icon in the statusbar but my internet speed is slower compared to nexus one connections.
[Nexus One General] FaithCry:
but you surely must be enjoying sense 3.0? isn't it rediculously fast?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_ayal:
hi,

i have been trying to resolve this problem but i havent succeded :-(

my desire sensor isnt working right, when ever i get or set up a call - the screen turn off and doesnt turn back when i move to phone from my ear.

please help me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hairykewell:
this happens to me, I just press the power button once. Maybe try calibrating it in the settings this might help? (i may actually take my own advice as well)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_ayal:
where is the callibrating in the settings? i didnt found it...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hairykewell:
Sorry just re-read my post, didn't mention what setting you had to calibrate.

In the Display settings under G-Sensor calibration. Make sure you place it on a flat surface.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_ayal:
i have tried it now but what is it to do with the screen sensor?

i havr just checked if it helps and it didnt :-(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rageypeep:
One thing I have always wanted to know.... just hot good is the Proximity Sensor on the device? i mean could you make a app that uses the sensor to locate large items in a room and distance to them or is it just a really naff sensor?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
I have nova 2 hd but it won't load past the black screen.. what gives?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicpol7:
its not compatible with galaxy s2 yet...

gameloft fully compatible games are those included as trials on the games hub
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
I assume you've tried with Chainfire 3D and the correct plugin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakkinenvthh:
It doesn't work with Chainfire3D too
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
yeah with chainfires fix.. dang that really sucks.. that seems to be the issue with alot of games.. is it because of our processor? when will games start working on our phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 101matt101:
No, it's because of the GPU not the processor. The games will only work when the developers decide to make them work with the Mali-400 (the GPU the S2 has). Could be quite a wait....... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanteEx:
Alas a lot of games will do this to us since we use a relatively new graphics encoder. Don't blame Samsung though as Mali-400 (encoder) is completely OpenGL compliant. Unfortunately developers haven't bothered to code these games yet in a readable manner for our GPUs.

This kinda sucks since games like Riptide GP won't work even with the use of Chainfire 3D. Which is a great shame since the previous Galaxy S does...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
It's because the developers are not coding it using industry standard OpenGL. Instead they use Nvidia or PowerVR optimisations which are proprietry and not supported by the Mali GPU (of course it won't because only the self-branded GPUs would support them). Developers need to start using industry standards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
I expect the Gameloft games will be ported relatively quickly, Modern Combat 2 HD can already be purchased from the Android Market for the SGSII, so give it some time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CandyAndy:
Not actually interested in this Modern Combat 2 HD because I think FPS games suck on phones but I went and bought it now for my Galaxy if these sales will make Gameloft more interested to make games for our phone.

Would like to see Samurai 2 on my screen but apparently it doesn't work yet? At least if I try to find it in the market, I get an error message that couldn't be found.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilgz1:
its compatible with our phone . it just doesnt run on gingerbread . its for froyo . it doesnt run on gingerbread even on the galaxy s
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Samurai 2 works perfectly for me.

I will try Nova 2 HD, but Nova already works perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefa1con:
Nova 2 works on my galaxy s2 without chainfire but it takes too much time to load up though gameplay is without lag

also the phone gets really hot while playing it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aers99:
yeah... same like me. Nova 1 finish playing it. Nova 2 i think already reach half of the game. Only problem is when loading to play take 3/4 minutes to play... The games was superbbb.. fantastic...:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buxz777:
nova 2 works for me :-)

i had one version that didnt and i have one that does so i think there must be 2 versions :-)

hope that helps :-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jl.1212:
So I flashed a new rom after backing up everything through Titanium Backup and Clockwork Recovery. I flashed the rom, but was met with a force close loop. I tried doing a factory reset through recovery mode and that got rid of the loop. But when I installed Titanium Backup, none of the backups were there. Same goes for Nandroid. What's going on? :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
Did u accidentally format ur sd card? Because tb is pretty reliable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GYM_RATttt612:
Never had this happen before, but to fix this in the future you should make a backup of the tb folder on your pc...actually you should do your entire internal and external sd anyway!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Reboot and see if they're still there or plug your phone into a pc and try to access the sd card contents. I've had a few instances where TB didn't show me anything on the sd card until i rebooted. Weird but it's worth a shot before you do anything drastic.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jl.1212:
Arghh I think this is what I might have done somehow. My sdcard folders did get messed up. I guess I'll have to start from scratch then...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gv2004:
I had the Mytouch 4G, before I got this phone, and what I miss the htc sense twitter widget that came with it. It was just a box widget on your home screen with no viewable tweets, and you just tap on it and update your twitter, is it possible to move that over to the G2X? Or get it by chance? I could constantly tweet without opening twitter, but the twitter for android widget is not good at all, do not like it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
No, its not. Sense twitter requires the rosie framework which is proprietary to HTC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laydros:
Each twitter app has different widgets. I would try a few different apps and see if any have widgets you like as much or more. Tweetdeck for example has a "Post" widget that just shows the avatar for your account, a text field that you can tap to tweet, and a camera button.

Also, there are apps that let you create shortcuts directly to some portion of an application. I think both LP and ADW can. Wouldn't be as convienent as a 3rd party app widget, but you could create a shortcut that went straight to the post page in the twitter app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pancake345:
Just use Launcherpro Plus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laydros:
Op wants a widget that does not show tweets.

I have the Swiftkey beta, and I see a lot of people raving about Thumb Keyboard. I really like the way Swiftkey looks, but I often have speed issues with it. I feel like the keyboard can't keep up with my typing, and it has a lot of trouble recognizing me hitting the spacebar. I don't want to drop money on Thumb Keyboard if I end up preferring Swiftkey, so has anyone used both and have an opinion as to which is better/faster? Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
Used both and there's no competition. Thumb keyboard is miles better.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Azhad:
If you like the way Swiftkey looks, then you will be happy with thumb keyboard, as Swiftkey shamelessy copied their design.

As for functionality, text prediction, configurable keys, speed, multi touch, and so on, thumb keyboard is the winner.

The only thing I miss from swiftkey is the double languages prediction, but with the new version of thumb keyboard you can slide the spacebar to change languages, so it's a small issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dictionary:
Thumb keyboard by far.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] yohanpra:
thumb keyboard by miles !
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
Thumb Keyboard for sure!

I love thumb keyboard. I never thought my brain could handle the split layout but I couldn't be happier! I tried a swipe keyboard which is fun to use but a real workout for your arms on a 10.1" tablet :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Hakizi:
Sounds like Thumb Keyboard is the winner haha

I'll be purchasing it. Thanks for the input everyone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rcm_rx7:
You won't be sorry. I tried both betas and thumbkeyboard is the clear winner.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sherpa25:
Where can I get this now? I believe the TK 4 beta is no longer available.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] brando56894:
I use thumb keyboard but IMO the auto correct sucks, it doesn't seem to work for me half the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] leonpr:
+1 for Thumb Keyboard :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] anon20:
I agree. I tried swiftkey only to go back to thumbkeyboard. It really works well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mmtoman:
Thumb keyboard is sick. Here's a screen shot of the team i use and the split keyboard function. BEAUTIFUL keyboard!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] magicpork:
Agreed..thumb keyboard is miles ahead
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jateelover:
mines coming in today...im going to give thumb keyboard a shot, but has anyone tried the new swype? I hear its optimized for tablets, and you can resize the keyboard down to like cellphone size...so then you could potentially swype like you do on your cell with one thumb...i'll try em both and post what i think...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I use Smart Keyboard Pro [there is a free version available as well.. fully skinned, have it on a Honeycomb theme]. Swype is okay, its slow when Swype makes errors and takes time to create that custom dictionary.

I personally prefer this over anything because it is the most accurate and the prediction is amazing.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Cerfer5:
As an added plus, the developer of Thumb Keyboard is really responsive--I asked for a fix in the custom key row & he sent me an email saying that he'd work on having it included in the next update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rodrigosb:
I Went from Swiftkey to Thumb Keyboard and I'm not going back, at least for now.

The level of customization is just amazing on Thumb keyboard. You can set custom keys for domain suffix, functions, emails and much more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Aryantes:
I've tried to use Thumb Keyboard but I fear I will end up with neck problems.

I can't get used to it and I keep looking back and forth at each of my hands at they type haha.

I do like it better than Swiftkey though.

I use Hacker's Keyboard now, at least when I'm not docked (which is not often)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jateelover:
Try the new swype...it had a setting to make the keyboard smaller so its much easier to type. I go between this and thumbs keyboard
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Q.Entity:
Same here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
The new version of Swype is a big improvement. There is also a button to compress the keyboard and it can be moved on the screen, much better on a tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ArielleJoy:
So, here's the deal: I own a Samsung Transform. I want to root this phone. I have never done this before, so I spent the better part of my day researching this process and reading and watching a lot of videos so that when I tried, I wouldn't ruin my phone. Only I haven't even been able to think about rooting anything yet because my laptop won't recognize my phone when I plug in the USB!

Now keep in mind that I'm new at this, but not completely uneducated. I downloaded and installed Android SDK and ABD, I found the file located in my hard drive, and I got as far as the command prompt, at which point I typed "adb devices" to no avail. I am stuck here and like I said, I have spent the better part of my day on this and feel as though I have come pretty far for never doing this before, I just CANNOT figure out on my own how to get the damn computer to recognize the USB!

This laptop is very efficient, it is always updated and runs well, so I know the problem isn't on that end. I also have tried this whole process with the phone plugged in, not plugged in until the end, with debugging enabled on my phone, and without debugging enabled on my phone. I tried several drivers in addition to the ones already on this laptop, which I know are good because this is a gaming laptop. Still, no luck.

What I NEED TO KNOW IS: How can I get the laptop to recognize the USB connection?

Please help me!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nivcom:
Hi, I've a nexus one with android 2.0 stock! After loosing my contact list and had to restore or totally replace my phone several times because my cell provider was unable to detect/repair/help ... I've decide to do it by myself! ... my nexus one was stuck on X ... so I've unlock bootloader and fastboot recovery a RA-passion version ... black screen ... tried lots of 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 available version ... without success ... always black screen ... so I decide to install gingerbread 2.3 cyanogen ... working (root, superuser, etc) but without gapps so useless for me ... ive try some gapps for gingerbread ... didnt work (was stuck on cyanogen animation) ... so after 2 days I've decide to use PASSIMG.zip to install a factory recovery ... got android 2.2 ... installed my fb, twitter,gmail account ... installed my last apps ... and I've got a popups "system update" ... after rebooting android 2.3.4 build GRJ22 was installed with all gapps without root, look like a legal copy!

My questions:

1- Is it possible to root 2.3.4? if yes, how?

2- why 2.3.4 installed by itself?

3- how can I do a real downgrade?

4- and since Im with 2.3.4 do I really need trying to roots it or its useless?

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] masantula:
Hi,

To answer your questions:

=> At this moment there is no possible way of rooting version 2.3.4

=> To do a real downgrade, go to the link below and do the PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Execute, and you'll be on 2.2.1.

Once you are on 2.2.1 use the following method to update manual to 2.3.3

Now we come to the process of rooting your nexus one to 2.3.4 using stock ROM

1) Root your GRI40 (2.3.3) build;

2) Flash a custom recovery (like Amon_RA 2.2.1, from his thread), using ROM Manager from the market, or do it manually using flash_image;

2) Download the GRJ22 (2.3.4) update and place it in the root of your sdcard;

3) Download the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file and place it in the root of your sdcard;

4) Reboot into recovery;

5) If you flash any other recovery besides Amon_RA 1.9, turn signature verification OFF (it is off by default in 1.9);

6) Flash the GRJ22 update, but do NOT reboot once it finishes flashing;

7) Re-read step 6. It is important that you do not reboot, otherwise you are stuck;

8) Flash the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file;

9) Reboot;

10) At this point, you are rooted, but you have lost the stock recovery. If you want a custom recovery to stick, follow the next steps;

11) Download a terminal emulator or a root file manager from the market;

12) Delete these two files from your ROM: /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

13) Re-flash the custom recovery you want.

14) Reboot.

The SU.Zip file is below:

The Update file for 2.3.4 is below:

Hope this helps. I don't credit for this. Had the same problem and got alot of info and finally figured it out.

Have fun :)

now when i connect the phone to usb it ask for driver for

is anybody faced this problem before and got a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dlockhart:
I have never had/read about this particular problem...

Let me clear up some questions:

1- Is there download or recovery mode available?

2- Does the phone charge?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Medhat_iglesias:
no it was just black screen

but now it can enter download mode after many tries with Riff box

but after flashing with Odin it shows this message :

update media, please wait...

E:Cant mout /dev/block/st110

(invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:

copy default media conent failed.

and some times shows this :

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:"

Now when I press power button it shows me I9000 shows the animation and sound then goes black screen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lownoise:
Flash a full rom like jpu
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Or try the Darky's resurection rom then flash JL2

After, root the thing and install SpoofFW to set the good product code:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Product_Codes_to_use_with_Kies

then, plug it in kies and let it update to stock rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
I had the same error before also. Flashing jpu with odin cleared things right up. Been working like a champ ever since. There is a guide on here somewhere that goes into great detail. Good luck .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aljosko:
try to flash stable JM6 rom (2.1 i think) and than flash rom you want to
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpirozx:
I had this before as well.. and I believe I used JL2 to fix it... and then at the time used kies to go to KC1 and then flashed with odin again later..

Hi guys, how are you? :)

Can someone tell me wich one of the above rom's is the best and why?

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muter:
I've just installed MIUI and while I am impressed with many aspects, I am decidedly let down.

The speed of it is excellent, very smooth and enjoy a number of features of being able to customize the lock screen background, etc easily, however I much preferred the ability I had in stock standard to customize my homescreen better.

I might be missing some things, however my market is crashing constantly, so am unable to see if I can install a new home launcher over top (although I suppose to a degree that negates the point of installing the rom). The biggest ap I used was Pure calander scrolling widget, which can't be used (AFAIK) in MIUI, so this has really taken a big effect on my view of the rom.

I am about to reset and try darkies mod, as my understanding it seems very stock, with speed increases and several features removed.

I'm also hopefully going to try out Cyanogen mod tonight/tomorrow depending if I have the time to play around with Darkies tonight :)

Hope this helps somewhat.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertobom:
Yes, it help a lot... But one more question.

Can you make video calls in Miui? I use video call a lot with my parents and girlfriend so I don't wanna lose this feature...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muter:
Can't help you there. I've never used a video call in my life :P

--edit

In saying the above, if I wasn't such an elitist on exactly how I wanted my homescreen to look, then I'd be very happy with MIUI. I'm not putting it down at all, it's a fantastic rom, but it just doesn't give me what I want out of it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertobom:
:) Eh, eh, eh. Thanks anyway!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertobom:
I think I'll give MIUI rom a try...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadobac:
I've used both, they all arguably great roms.

I'm currently used Darky, because of the lack of FM Radio in MIUI. I'm a Fm dead fan, kinda bad habit....

However if MIUI figure out a solution for FM Radio, or if I find out a decent radio player I will definitely throw Darky away. IMHO compare to Darky, MIUI is superior in every aspects. Before I thought MIUI is too Apple, but then I gave it a shot, and I absolutely love it! The launcher is incredible, the mobile traffic counter is fantastic, MIUI music and Gallery are amazing, especially the music player!

In my phone, MIUI quadrant point is even higher than darky (1788 vs 1550), tho it's sort of lag sometimes. However, MIUI is suck when it plays MKV files (no sound with my files), tho it can be solved by using Moboplayer). MIUI also use different camera softwares, thus you would miss Darky if you need to take panorama.

In conclusion, I believe if you don't need FM player, or not a photographer, you must give MIUI a shot :D
