Have you guys received your shipment from LetsBuy?

The courier service they used for mine is Aramex, which is the most pathetic courier service I've ever known about.
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Welcome to the club. I know, they are the worst courier service you can imagine, and I wouldn't even want to ship to anyplace, my headphones with them, let alone the galaxy s2.

was thinking about getting my phone from their office, once they update that it's in bangalore...

WILL NOT TRUST MY GALAXY WITH THESE IDIOTS. :|
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Trust me, I have heard terrible reviews about them, from updating falsely that no one is at home, to fake updates on site of delivered.

I cannot believe letsbuy did this. Hoping now for a safe delivery.
[Galaxy S II General] uankur:
:(

I know. The horror :(

That's why am not waiting for delivery. I'll go and "take" the delivery myself at "their" office.

My phone took the flight this morning from Delhi, and am pretty much sure it wasn't that long a flight :D

They say it's stuck in customs at Bangalore airport. I didn't know whether to laugh or be angry... :D

Will go get it tomorrow...
[Galaxy S II General] Ad-sales:
Aramex is sad

Mine has been out for delivery since noon. Their customer care people know nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] uankur:
Bangalore?

Anyway, the incompetent fools will update the status as "Delivery attempted" soon. I'll suggest visiting their office tomorrow.

Have never been so nervous about a shipment ever :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patb8man:
Hello I have been having issues flashing any sense 3.0 roms on my phone. Other roms flash perfectly fine including gb roms. I am currently running INfected Inspire 4g and ran Mikfroyo prior to that as well as many more froyo roms. I have a version 002 Evo purchased on launch day. I am fully rooted using Amon Ra's latest recovery. The roms flash perfectly fine but I get an infinite boot loop on the white "HTC Evo 4g" screen. I have tried superwipe and have used it 3x prior to flashing a rom, I have the latest radio, pri etc. I have also tried flashing with a downgraded 1.7 pri. I have "double flashed" the roms. All with no luck. I still get the bootloop. Is there any fix or ideas how to resolve this issue I would really love to use some of the newer GB roms.

Here is a list of Roms that give the bootloop after flashing:

Dominus_Zeta

Virusrom Kingdom Revolution

B.O.S. Kingdom port r2

Misfits speedy port

Virusrom gingersense

Evolved Rom shifted "Get abducted"

There may be one or two more but there are enough there to find a common denominator. If there is any way that this can be fixed I would be greatly appreciative. Also I will be subscribed to this thread and have xda sent to my phone so most of the time I will reply very soon to answer any questions to help solve the issue. A huge thank you in advance to any one willing to offer a helping hand.

i believe you need to partition the sdcard to make enough space for the /system. yes, some /system will be on your sdcard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patb8man:
I have a 32 gb card with less than 8 used
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
boot into recovery, and choose partition sdcard. then choose partition sd. then interactive sd partitioning. choose a size (around 2 gigs is reccomended) and parition.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patb8man:
It will wipe my card right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
yep i guess so. i have never done it, but i'm pretty sure it does.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patb8man:

edit: I partitioned the card and still no luck anymore ideas out there. Should I create an ext. 3 partition?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mevensen:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDPito:
I have the same hardware, launch day 0002 hardware, I recently started using Virus Kingdom ROM, the latest version from his website. When I was first messing with it I would have problems with the white EVO screen not going away, I would have to pull the battery and get back into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and make sure to select shut down phone instead of reboot.

Hope that helps!

Thinking of getting a new phone on verizon wat would be my best choice?
[GT540 Optimus General] typci:
Chip name: K524G2GACB-A050

Operation voltage: 1.8v

Nand: 4Gbit 42ns

SDRAM: 2Gbit 200MHz

Specification sheet:

http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/412398/SAMSUNG/K524G2GACB-A050.html

So, can someone do some math and tell me the read/write speed of the nand chip?
[GT540 Optimus General] Danzano:
Is that the chips in our phones?

Ok system 130mb

Data 200mb

Other crap 300mb

Where's the other 2-3gb?

Can we free it up as useable ram or memory???
[GT540 Optimus General] djdeeles:
Nand: 4Gbit 4096/8=512mb

SDRAM: 2Gbit 2048/8=256mb

it says bit not byte so there is no 2/3 gb :)
[GT540 Optimus General] Danzano:
Oh right good was gonna say why put those Chips in then lock them up that much

Remember my first Pentium 4 2.8ghz my ass had mine at 3.9ghz liquid cooled :)

So with the nand if we move all apps contacts etc to SD can we free up any useable system ram I get 42 48 MB at the most at the moment also anyway to use SD memory for ram I know you can on laptops but phones unsure I've been asking no ones answered or knows
[GT540 Optimus General] typci:
I ran a speed test on the internal nand memory chip.

0.7 MB/s write

6.0 MB/s read

Either the test was flawed, or the nand chip is really really slow and I should put everything on my SD card which has roughly 10/20 MB/s write/read.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mustang9438:
Currently using the bodyglove case that t-mo sells. I really don't like it. Anybody know of anyone else selling a good case for our phone?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
Yeah, I haven't found a good one either. Maybe online...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
hard to find a good one...

I haven't found one either, ordered one online but it makes the phone look chunky and it hits the keys when I open/close the screen part (it was cheap)

I suggest using the "skinz" stuff people sell for phones. It's made out of 3m control tac which is actually really durable. I work with the stuff so I put some on my battery cover and it works great, not too slippery and protects from scratches, I've seen a few people selling on amazon for the sk4g that's how I got the idea.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shiznt:
If you want to protect your phone without using a bulky cover or one that doesn't fit your phone quite right than I highly recommend Phantom Skinz.

I have had one on my T-Mobile G2 for 6 months, fitted it myself and haven't had any issues with it and it looks great. I'm currently looking at getting my partner a T-Mobile Sidekick 4G from the US as shes had it with her Samsung Galaxy S and will more than likely buy her a Phantom Skin at the same time.

http://phantomskinz.com/samsungsidekick4gchromatics.aspx

Also I'm fairly sure it comes with a couple of free really nice screen protectors.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SinOnSkin:
Im waiting for otterbox to come up with a solution. I wasnt pleased with the answer when I asked the invisible shield kiosk if they carried a screen for the SK4 either.. they said they dont have it yet and they cant just 'cut a bigger one down' because it voids the warranty.. I may still cut one down from the spare one I had from my galaxyS

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tweeklulz:
I don't use a case for mine.. it's already bulky as it is. I do recommend using a screen protector - the one t-mobile sells works perfectly fine, except that at the top where the LEDs are there is an unremovable bubble. It was 15 dollars for two protectors - a little expensive but compared to how much the phone costs it's well worth it. I guess you can buy some online but I didn't want to wait

i got two hard shell cases on ebay, one for my wife and one for myself. we both have the sk4g. i paid 3.95 for one and 4.95 for the other. cant remember which cost what, but mine is black and my wifes has designs, that could have something to do with the price difference. they do scrape the keys when opening/closing the screen, but for what i paid, not complaining. phone still fits in my pouch with the shell, so it works for me. i dont have a link, but the seller was ZyDistro. fast shipping, too. ordered on wednesday, shipped thursday, got here saturday from california.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Sorry to revive something that hasn't been poked in a while but I have an SK4G I bought from my sister and her friend and the hardcase they gave me with it is very smooth and has hearts and butterflies on it (Not saying it's not cool looking but it makes me look a little immasculine. I never go around without my phone in a case due to a few other phones being just fine until that one drop just completely screws it up. I would like a new case that feels nice, protects the phone and looks good, I tried looking for an otterbox but the one I saw was just a box to put your phone in, not very accessible or keyboard friendly at all. So what can I do for this?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theUsualSuspexx:
Just keep rockin the butterflys yo lol i been using the same black rubber gel type case tbey had at the tmo store when i bought this junk phone.its ok, got a lil loose after a year. just ordered what appears to be the same type off amazon but in blue and white. Thinking about that plastic case work the part that goes over the screen and just using that part with the gel case.but I'm with the comment above, anyone use that bodyglove with the kick stand? I got something similar for one of my s2 kick is nice but the case sucks.no protection and actually has killed the edges of my s2.and its fugly to boot
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GateCityRadio:
Check out ebay, they have a bunch in different styles and colors. I bought a few different kinds before I found one I liked. They are as cheap and a few dollars.

[Android Software Development] diamond_lover:
Hello. I want try port some application from official froyo motoblu rom on my Defy with CM7. Actually we have working Music app and Camera, we miss Gallery, Dialer and some else. I started from mediagallery, that seem easier. That's what I do.

I extracted mediagallery.apk, in the manifest xml I can see this:

<uses-library android:name="com.motorola.android.frameworks" />
<uses-library android:name="com.motorola.blur.library.utilities" />
<uses-library android:name="com.motorola.blur.library.home" />

So, I extracted the 3 files from /system/framework and I put in CM7, then I edited init.rc BOOTCLASSPATH with motoblur dependencies... after that I pushed the relative /etc/permissions/ files. I rebooted and then adb install mediagallery.apk, but fail. I tried resign the apk and install from /system/app but nothing.. No way to install..

I think I need a hint to solve this trouble...

User ziky found this, but I tried and I had a bootloop. Maybe editing the /data/system/packages.xml is the reason, but I really need help.

Thanks.

You can read through the thread, but this post has the current/best build that works on my D2 running CM7.

Push APK to /system/app, then set permissions to 644 and owner to root/root (basically match setting of other APKs in /system/app.

Pretty cool - starts up and shoots and just works! Has wide screen like Blur camera and auto focus.

Video even recorded (though FC after playback and return to the camera).

with android every home screen is pretty much different.
