[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiga:
Hi guys

I've installed Yahoo Mail for my email and Go Sms Pro for my texts. When i get a text or email, i don't get double notifications in the notification bar, however, i really miss the little bubble indicator in the top right hand corner of the stock email & sms apps that let you know how many missed messages you have (i prefer this to the notification bar).

Does anyone know if it's possible to get these on anything other than Samsung's own crappy versions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blickmanic:
its not samsungs own crappy version, its androids own 'crappy' version, imo it isnt crap, beats ios by 100 miles
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
No it is Samsung's. The stock Android apps are far different and don't feature notifications.

You could use something like ADWLauncher which will allow it on certain apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
Well I have K-9 as my email app and I also have Go Launcher which has a plugin for notifications and it does show the email count for K-9 so you could give that a go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winwiz:
install a program from the market called adwnotifier ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas83:
Hello! I upgraded from the Hero to the Nexus S but am bogged down by the terrible reception offered by the Nexus. So I am returning the Nexus to Sprint because I am still within the 30 days and will go back to my Hero until the Evo 3D comes out.

I am going to return the nexus to the sprint store and NOT take my rooted hero to sprint. I will then attempt to call sprint to reactivate my hero over the phone. My hero is currently running gingerbread on CM7. My question is, will this method work to reactivate my hero? Or do I need to nandroid back to a sense rom to reactivate? Or anything else?

Does anyone have experience with the 30 day return policy at sprint? Can I just reactivate my hero now and return the inactivated nexus? I talked to sprint rep on the phone and they didn't really know the answer, just said to bring in both phones, but obviously I don't want to bring in my rooted hero!

Thanks for any help!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooolone2:
If your ROOTED Hero is out of warranty I don't see a problem, unless of course you are still carrying insurance on it. Either way though, I don't see an issue. I returned a broken ROOTED Hero without wiping or anything else and never a word or problem. Of course if you are paranoid, you could just make sure the Nexus is wiped. Activating the Hero shouldn't be reliant upon the OS, it's system side as far as I understand it.

Regards

:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Yes you should nand restore a sense rom to have less of a hassle when you call sprint to reactivate it. And yea you should be able to return your nexus to the sprint store with no problems as long as your still within your 30 days due to customer unsatifaction. Hope this helps good luck.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoseppi:
I would think you could simply switch your esn by yourself on Sprint's website, and then simply return the Nexus S.

The website wouldn't know if you are rooted or not. Then just return the nexus S to the store, with your reactivated hero safely in your pocket. They shouldn't even touch your hero phone if you switch the esn yourself.

I'm shocked to see such a difference in reception for this phone. You sure it isn't just the area you are in? The Nexus S looks badass.

Don't forget to call Sprint later to have them remove the $10 premium data they will now charge you because you switched ESNs. Cause all smartphones now require the premium data regardless.

Tell them you were having your phone serviced/repaired and they will remove the $10 data.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Flashing a sense rom and calling sprint is all you need to do. Mrs. User switched to a rooted hero from a pixi, and that's all I did to switch over.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaisheela:
Hi, because of the GB scare, I went back to froyo, and now decided to go back to GB and so I flashed the radio and Gingervitis IX. I decided I wanted BAMF 2.05 which I had before downgrading and flashed it, but now the phone won't start. It get's stuck at the screen with the 'Thunderbolt' and BAMF, and when turning it on and holding down volume down it automatically goes to update in hboot so it doesn't let me recover. What do i do :eek:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YankInDaSouth:
You have to get that GB radio off your SD card ... you have a card reader?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YankInDaSouth:
Or at least another phone to throw the SD card in? Once you get that GB radio off there, I'd say redownload the ROM and wipe/install again ...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaisheela:
Nope, but i think i've got it, I used my old phone to read the card and put the update on my card for the tb to fix it, thanks tho.
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Wow, so there is all sorts of GB info running around, and I'm not entirely sure what route to take.

I was running Liberty 1.5 until earlier today and I SBF'd back to .340 a few hours ago with the intent of updating OTA. I decided to look around and see if someone already had the official OTA that I could just manually update, and I came to a post from p3Droid that has left me scratching my head.

From this thread:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-5-596-release-thread-something-everyone.html

So right now I am 100% Stock. To update to .596 manually, I'd need to use the Full signed version? If I did this, wouldn't it be the same as waiting for the OTA?

Also, why is waiting for the OTA not recommended? Is it because root currently isn't available? Then wouldn't using the full signed version be not recommended?

If so, I can just root and use the PART 1 and PART 2 to get to a rooted version of .596, is this correct?

I'm a bit confused as to what the best course of action would be right now.
[Droid X General] RodrigoKim:
if you use p3droid's gingerbread ota rooted roms, you'll have the latest gingberbread build with root. otherwise just wait for OTA into gingerbread if you dont care much for root
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Honestly what's important is that it's the latest official build. Root is second on the list, so it guess I'll do that. That's the one that requires part 1 & 2 and the D2 bootstrapper, correct?
[Droid X General] RodrigoKim:
yeah, you need the DROID 2 bootstrapper (not the droid X bootstrapper) just to reassure.

1 you should be on stock .340 (cannot be madderstock or you will have bootloader stuck)

2 have it rooted on .340 (z4root is an easy way to do that)

3 run droid 2 bootstrapper

4 install part 1, followed by part 2 WITHOUT rebooting

5 reboot
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Awesome.

What's the difference between the unsigned version and the signed version? Will it make a difference down the road if I need to SBF to stock for a return or SBF for a future OTA?

EDIT:

Also, is there any difference between the part1 part2 and the full signed stock other than the signature?
[Droid X General] RodrigoKim:
you can SBF back to .340 stock from GB root, I have done this to go back to froyo, but ended up going back to GB root.

GB root ROM is the same as OTA, except it has root. If you want to go back, just find the SBF full .340, and then update through OTA for gingerbread stock
[Droid X General] typo13:
So i screwed up i tried using maddstocker's .340 zip and now i'm stuck at the M boot logo. Can i still SBF back to .340?
[Droid X General] jeftep:
Yes, in my experience SBF is the failsafe course of action for all bootloops/softbricks.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Ones signed and the other isn't. Unsigned could potentially cause problems in recovery
[EVO 4G General] HoDawg:
I downloaded the latest version and sent a friend a text message. He got the same text message 1600 times in 45 minutes. Anyone else have this issue? How could that have happened?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] StarlaThornhill:
I have an unrooted HTC Incredible that up until recently was running Go Launcher EX. I uninstalled it because I've been having problems with the recent update and lag that was making my phone unusable. However, since I uninstalled the launcher, every time I leave an application, whether I hit the home button or back out of it, it reloads Sense. Luckily it doesn't take more than 10-15 seconds, probably because I only use 3 screens, but its annoying and makes it hard to use the phone quickly. I'm trying to use the home function as little as possible right now by using the app switcher and notification bar to get around but I'd really like full function of my phone back!

Does anyone know any fixes?
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Hey, Just thought I should post this... To reset the Captivate without removing the battery, there is a connection on the board called "TP". It is right below the MMC card and you can barely see it with the phone's case on it. Here is a picture of the rear case removed. The TP is the white dot. It is covered with white paint to avoid accidental connection.

You can stick a needle through and ground "TP" to the side of the SDCard. Your phone will reset.

It's a signal line. and it's separated from bat+ by 1000ohms.
[Captivate General] KyleTroy:
Thats very useful. Thanks!
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
Will this reset work on "soft" bricks and/or paperweight states?

Sent from Gingerbread on a Captivate using XDA Premium App
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
It will work on soft bricks. I'd like to see how a hard brick would react to UART communications. I've got one comming, so I will be able to tell you more soon.
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
This is a great find for flashing addicts. Thanks so much for sharing this. When I get to my PC I will hit the thanks button.

Sent from Gingerbread on a Captivate using XDA Premium App
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
I've found it quite useful... but I've been doing some non-standard things with my phone...
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
That looks sick! Someone's been having fun. Has your phone orbited the Earth yet? :D
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Haha not quite... I've been researching non-invasive methods of recovering bricks, and it requires invasive techniques for analysis. Its amazing how many people brick their phones and how expensive jtag methods are.
[Captivate General] adimonty:
Doesn't work on Hard Bricks. Tested. :(
[Captivate General] bloodforge:
So is it possible to fix a soft brick using this method instead of making a jig?

On my way home right now, guess I will find out soon enough, thank you :)
[Captivate General] bloodforge:
Wasn't quite sure what it was gonna do, and hoping it would magically get me into download mode, where the usb or power wouldn't. big down side, it botch'd something in my hardware, and my battery will no longer charge, can not run the phone without being pluged into the wall or pc. unbricked using a standard ol jig, flashed to 2.1 via 1 click, dunno if it just fried battery or did something else. Any ideas what to trouble shoot first? i've tried reflashing, few different roms, tried reseting battery stats, tried factory reset via settings, and via 1 click with no luck, wont be able to test another battery till tomorrow
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
You did something else....

I used this method about 50 times consecutively. No ideas for you on your issue.

This reboots the phone and that's it. Its easy for bench testing purposes. How long did you hold it?
[Captivate General] bloodforge:
Just until the screen shut off, then released, not really what sure happened. Is there something rom side that controls the charging of the battery or is it strictly hardware?

Just hoping battery just decided to die, needed excuse to get a bigger one anyways.

Edit-Yeah definetly thinking battery is bad now, it showed 100% charge this morning finally, but as soon as i unplugged from wall it died, plugged it back in and was showing it dead again. Soo hmm, dunno sound like bad battery? fixin to make the 30min trip to ATT store to see if they can check it or swap it.
[Captivate General] bloodforge:
just wanted to say, i wasn't trying to imply the reset you pointed out had killed the phone, i just wasn't quite sure what happened, and this had been one of the last things i had done.

I just didn't realize a battery could go that quickly, had it tested today, and the guy at store said i was the first person he could tell without a shadow of a doubt there battery was dead.

1500mAH battery, and it read dead at first then full charge on tester at 28mAH.
[Captivate General] droyd666:
This looks very interesting and I would like to try it out. Before I try it, I was wondering if you could explain it more in depth like if the battery should be in the phone, if it is necessary for the battery to be fully charged and if this method will work on all Captivates. I also noticed a number on your sd card slot that is different than mine but I assume all phones have a different one. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dietanson:
So I just got my Samsubg Infuse however when I switched the sim card from my Atrix to the Infuse the Infuse could not read my sim card...I get the "Sim Card Not Installed"message. So I went to 1 AT&T retail store and 1 AT&T device support store to have them switch out my sim card and after THREE new sim cards NOTHING (keep in mind these are all the "newer" sim cards AT&T gives out with no design on the front)...I keep getting the same message.

SO I tried an OLDER sim card I had sitting around (the "OLDER" version with the "3G" symbol on the front) and it indeed did read it. So what I did was call AT&T and had them switch my account to the "older version" sim card I had an VOILA everything works...so i thought stranger...such a new phone but it would not work with the newer sim cards AT&T store gives out....

So I talked to Samsung directly and told them that I think I had a defective device...they said NO because it reads my older sim card and I went on and on about how the only sim cards AT&T issue are the newer ones...they said they will open a ticket blah blah blah...Im hoping I can get a new device because if I ever had to sell this out or need a new sim card I'll be SCREWED....

But I was wondering what sim cards are you guys using...the newer AT&T one or the older "3G" one...plus does anybody know of anything I can try...

I tried resetting the APN, hard reset, soft reset, battery pull etc etc...but nothing...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Using the new one without the design on the front. No problems here :( sorry... I would say your device is faulty
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
No problems here either i have the newer sim card with the half white half blue and the numbers.

they did give me a brand new one but i have no use for it since i have mine and it worked. keep it as a back up i guess
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dietanson:
is there a difference between these 2 cards...because supposedly the newer sim cards are "4G" enabled and the older one is 3G enabled...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
I had heard that from a Rep when I asked about 4g on the Atrix she said there would be new similar cards...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dietanson:
Well i ran a speedtest and my infuse seems to be right around par with everyone elses. 5.3 down and 1.3 up. So i guess the card doesnt make a difference...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Do you have the h+ symbol for your cell connection?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] coopas:
I'm using a Infuse with a 3G Cingular branded card and it works fine (H+, yada yada).

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dietanson:
yeah...thought so too...but yeah I do have the H+ logo and stuff...
[Atrix 4G General] tian105:
Want vs Need

After having the Atrix for 3 month. After refreshing the dev section every half hour of the day. I have finally gotten over myself and asked, "do I really need it to be unlocked?

our atrix is a solid snappy longlasting device. When we already have something so nice in our pockets, I think we all should be proud/appreciate what we have and behappy.

If our hardworking devs do crack/bypass the bootloader, great.

If not. What we ownis great still. Better than most of the phones on the market.

So this means stop crying like little babies. Stop saying atrix suck. Stop making it sound like a bigger issue than it actrully is.

Appreciate what we have.

[Atrix 4G General] destin246:
Id rather have good quality phones than cheap plastic phones and no htc is not where its always been at.. jus look att he og droid.. even if the bootloader is locked there is ways around it!
[Atrix 4G General] chria01:
Dear Tian105,

For many here, it isnt about having one of the better phones out there. It is either the best or nothing. Also, Motorola has a short history of support on non droid android phones. Please look at the Cliq as a reference, 18 months old and still on 1.5 in most areas. Umm really? Then they made the Cliq XT which has aged extremely poorly at the ride old age of 14 months old and is at 1.5 Cupcake everywhere. This could easily happen to the Atrix since Motorola seems to have forgotten us somewhere at the end of list of phones to get Gingerbread. I really like the hardware on this phone. However unlocking the bootloader to allow us to get to gingerbread which even my HTC Dream at the geriatric age of 30 months is still capable of running with an unlocked bootloader of course. I dont want to start an argument about this but it seems like Motorola must be run by a bunch of luddites which can be frustrating. The way I see it and I posted something similar in another forum. The free bootloader movement has been going on for a while now, and to make a somewhat biased (Ill admit it) comparison, HTC is Egypt, Motorola is Libya and of course Apple is North Korea. :)
[Atrix 4G General] nalorite:
Only reason I want the bootloader unlocked is because csipsimple and sipdroid still won't work correctly with the current firmware. Till then the phone is just a toy to me.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
I agree awesome phone. Even if only one core of our dual core is being loaded ;) still a fun phone with a lot of promise of doing sweet things in the future (e.g. gingerbread, unlocked bl maybe, actually using both cores lol)

Congratulations on moving to the final stage
[Atrix 4G General] Careca_RS:
I guess it's not just about the phone you've bought, is what you do with it. After all, it comes with Android, kinda extension of Linux, therefore it should (or maybe must) follow Linux' idea: FREEDOM.

Freedom to choose what you want and what you don't. Freedom to manipulate YOUR gadget to make it your own, yours exclusively. Freedom to not necessarily accept it the way you've bought, freedom to tweak it as hell as you want, or freedom to simply be happy with it.

Of course it is an awesome piece of hardware. Oh God it is! But this fact alone shouldn't make you feel content the way it came when you buyed it. As any other thing in life, you should always aim the best you can do. And this is what we do when we pursuit the possibility of improving it.

Man... this was almost an Atrix Statement XD
[Atrix 4G General] chria01:
So... you're telling me theres a chance? YEAHHH!!!!/Dumb and Dumber

Ok I think I know which one I am on.
[Atrix 4G General] anomaly460:
This phone is like buying a new computer that had first of its kind technology but only has Windows XP on it...Which by the way you can't change or upgrade. You could return it (or sell it after 30 days) but then what? Those options suck because you want the technology that you bought into.

So much is left on the table with smartphones software-wise, but none so much as the Atrix. And it's still one of the top 3 phones available. Those truths are what's so maddening about the Atrix. It's also why development (and a method to deal with the bootloader) are of great importance for this phone.

The hardware is only as good as the software that runs it. So without the latest version of Android and optimization, the Atrix will be a sad case of wasted hardware..and not worth keeping with the speed technology evolves in this market.

So yeah I disagree with the OP..Seems one of the most locked down devices ever needs dev'ing the most. Here's to Kholk or Tenfar saving our phones!
[Android Themes] aussieglis:
I was wondering if it's possible to change the clock output in the status/notificationbar in cm7. As for now, when you use 24hour-clock, the output is like this: 00.00

I would like to have it like this: 00:00

using a : instead of just a .

Anyone who knows? :)
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Mine shows up with the : and not .

It may have something to do with your language and or location settings...
[Android Themes] aussieglis:
Yup, it uses : for me aswell when using english language. I guess the translations in CM7 is the "sinner"

No way to edit it then?
[Android Themes] rori~:
if you disagree with the translation, just contact the translator..

Hello everyone. I'm new to the SGS2 board on XDA but maybe some of you know me from the HTC Hero board. I hope i'll get my SGS2 soon (3.6.2011!?) but i already started my project.

The people who know me from the HTC Hero may know my rom database (www.hrdb.tk) and i thought this will be helpfull here too. So here it is:

www.GalaxyS2db.tk

or

www.GalaxySII.tk​

There maybe some bugs, but i hope the most stuff is working already. I hope you like the idea. If you are a dev and you don't want your rom listed on my homepage please let me know.

You are able to rate and comment on the roms. You just have to register for free and login!

I love the rom and being able to have the stock clock and animations but I don't care for the dock bar with only the phone and app manager and + symboll. I know of the other roms but I just don't want to give up the clock and animations, beautiful widgets are ok but not quite the same.
