[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silashack:
I have moved from froyo to gingerbread at last and despite having a few little issues I am happy with the end result, however, I did find some of the 'instructions' surrounding the process both on here and other sites to be extremely vague, one of the main points of issue was regards ensuring you have a specific version fully installed before you commit to a custom rom.

I understand this relates to the installation of newer bootloaders that are able to support the new gingerbread code as well as older froyo.

I then found a post that shows how to avoid the full installs and only update the bootloader section itself, this has been tried and tested and accepted as working.

I have found that some posters have only succeeded with version xxx, some say to only update to the latest yyy, understandable and easy to follow....

But does anyone know of a location for the bootloaders ONLY, to use via odin?

And as an aside to that, how to check the actual version of the bootloader?

From my HTC days, it came up on a screen during flashing etc, but I have not seen any like that on the SGS.

I have checked the usual places, but they only seem to contain kernels and modems, not the bootloaders.

Any help apprecated

Cheers

Here are the standalone bootloaders for Froyo and Gingerbread put together by Nitr8 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089989

I don't know of anyway to check your bootloader version but if your running GB fine you know your on a Gingerbread bootloader. Froyo works with GB bootloaders so the only reason you may want to change them is if your moving to a CM7 rom which requires the froyo one. This thread tends to explain everything quite well: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011701

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silashack:
Sure does, my reason to determine the bootloader version is as follows, I was looking to try out an alternate rom and it said you MUST have a JVO bootloader or the rom would have issues.... hence looking for versions as such.

I did have an issue and before I reported back, i thought to locate the JVO bootloader and install it first and see if the problems continued...

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
Yeah, the easiest way to acquire specific bootloader is probably to download an entire rom, eg JVO including bootloaders

Hey guys

I have the social networking widget for Twitter and Facebook.

Since this morning the facebook part refuses to work.

I used to have them both in one widget but to be sure I added 2 seperate widgets, 1 for Twitter and 1 for Facebook.

When I tap on the Facebook one it brings up all the statuses so I can browse through them. But as soon as I do I get the following error:

The application Social Networking (process com.motorola.friendfeed) has stopped working unexpectedly.

Please try again.

The widget for twitter works just fine, so it's only for facebook.

Dos anyone have any idea or suggestions?

Yeah sorry I did not get an answer anywhere. I just stopped using it alltogether.

I don't even have the widget anymore on cm7.

I don't really know who developes the app either so no idea where to go

Going from Win 6.5 to Android, the only question that I miss is the versatility of the connection to the mail exchange server.

So I ask, is there a good application for Exchange?

It would be perfect.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glyde62:
I'am on LeeDrOiD HD 3.0.2 GB an would like to update to LeeDrOiD HD V3.1.2

Do i HAVE to convert to EXT4 when updating to the latest LEEDROID?

And also is it ok to just install it over the top of my current version or is a wipe necessary,If i just install over the top will i lose anything or will it just be same as before i updated?

Sorry for noobish questions but installed LEEDROID a few weeks ago and love it but this will be my first upgrade.

One more question, Is the Sense 3 stuff all working properly now (weather,Lockscreen etc)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddelundh:
I think you have to use the ext 4 full vipe first to get everything running smoothly
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
If you just flash over the top, all your apps and data will be kept, and all your partitions will become ext4 except for the /data partition, which will stay as ext3.

You only need to wipe first if you want to get ext4 on your /data partition. To be honest, I doubt you'll notice any difference in speed by having ext4 on data, so if you don't want the hassle of setting everything up, just flash over the top. If you decide to do a full wipe later, you can switch to ext4 on /data then.

I think Lee has said in his thread that he just flashes over the top, except when he wipes for testing. So at one point, at least, he still had ext3 on /data as well. :)
[Galaxy S II General] ekerbuddyeker:
So I own both devices. I want to move from the Atrix because if the specs of the CS, takes better pics, faster, bigger screen etc but I keep being put off by the fact that I can't last more than 6 hours with it on a usual day for me.

Today I hard reset both and loaded them up with exactly the same user Apps. I then put them both on Wifi and set up exchange etc the same way. Although Motorola has bigger battery, Samsung Chews battery MUCH faster and I am trying to find out why.

The thing that stands out the most initially is on the battery usage stats. On the Atrix, Android system used 6%, while on the Galaxy its 50%!!

What is going on here?
[Galaxy S II General] sportedwood:
Its a known issue, should be fixed in a patch soon.
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
My experience is that the android OS usage is a placebo type thing. For me it has zero effect on battery, same thing with the bug saying that i've been 100% without cell signal.

Try charging the phone while it's on.

Unplug, turn off, plug back in.

Charge to full, unplug

plug in again charge to full

turn on, and kill the battery.

Then do a full charge
[Galaxy S II General] ekerbuddyeker:
And what is that supposed to do?

Clearly there is something going on that is killing the battery. Makes no sense that the only way to get it to survive a day is to freeze practically all the apps.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
It's been covered before. There's a problem with the suspend service that pretty much puts the phone in to an infinite loop when idle on 2.3.3. NS users had a similar issue that was fixed with 2.3.4. We're supposed to get it in weeks according to a tweet from Samsung. If you're using 2.2. on the Atrix it wouldn't be effected and could explain the difference in battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
Yeah this has been coveted in multiple enormous threads. Just read those.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] PsyCl0ne:
Hey all,

I was just thinking since my milestone is starting to get fairly old and beat up, would any of you have a phone with a hardware keyboard you might be looking at??

So far one phone that has caught my eye, might have to paper bag it, but its the Xperia Pro. Looks thicker then a brick, but hardware seems solid. Also read somewhere that sony will begin to unlock bootloaders, if I'm not mistaken it was here within xda... I've also been looking at the nokia N900, looks amazing but then id be parting with android which I don't really wish to at this current moment...

Any way what would you guys/gals have to say??

~PsyCl0ne
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:

m done with motorola .. nt coming back to it .. sony xperia arc or some htc dual core phone .. mayb even blackberry storm 3 .. or iphone 5 .. too many options for me :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] IanTester:
I'm also interested in the Xperia Pro. It's not out yet, but hopefully in a year's time (when I'll be looking for a new phone) the price of the Pro will be down enough for me to afford it (either new or used). Or maybe I'll be used to on-screen keyboards by then and can choose from more phones.

I've been wondering for a while if a netbook/smartbook would be a better way to do more 'serious' web browsing, etc than a mobile phone. If I got a reasonably portable netbook/smartbook/tablet I could get a simpler and cheaper mobile phone. The Asus Transformer is looking pretty good...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vishalmullur:
maybe i am also done with motorola- i say maybe because i love the industrial design of motorola and till now any other phone out dosent have that factor. Nexus 3 or whatever is next nexus is getting my attention unless it is by samsung again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordz19:
Hi everyone

Being the compulsive rom flasher that I am I flashed the first com rom from superclean right away. Somehow my apps were all backed up on google's servers and they restored without me taking any action. Today I flashed the new com rom and I wiped data as advised. How can I restore all the apps that google has backed up for me? Thank you in advance.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fstbusa:
never heard of such a thing.... are you sure you wiped data the first time and not just cache and dalvik?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CHANGiism:
Google includes something called Googlebackuptransport.apk and what this does is when you log into your Google account for the first time, it syncs what you've installed before and starts downloading everything from the market. This only happens once when you first flash the rom from scratch
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordz19:
That makes sense because I followed adrynalyne's instructions for the ed01 modem before flahing the rom
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
Yep, and this is a major PITA in my opinion. This is because unlike restoring apps through titanium backup, mybackup pro, or similar app, the google backup tries restoring all your apps at the same time instead of one right after the other. Seriously bogs down my phone and causes it to heat up.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordz19:
I have read some of the developers recommending to not restore apps with titanium. I think that was in one of the superclean threads though. Would you say that it is safe to restore with titanium on the latest com rom?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eibbed0001:
I read not to restore SYSTEM DATA with Titanium Backup but it was my understanding that apps and their data were fine. I could be wrong.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyazz:
Titanium Backup IS the way to go, just don't restore SYSTEM data.

This is an open source project hosted on google code. Feedback and help improving the performance/additional features is WELCOME!!!!

Support for the X10, Atrix, and NexusS is ready out of the box because those are phones I was able to test it with. Rename the GroundWork.py.txt to GroundWork.py after downloading.

My phone crashed and went into a boot loop after messing with it. I had to reflash my rom and data.

How stable is this app?

Why would the app do that?

The app was a slow working on the x10.

Didn't like the flow of it.

Got the app to start to stream, then the whole phone crashed.

I like the idea of the app and the structure. I am sad to say I won't use it unless the bootloop crash problem goes away.

If you can get that sorted out. I will be happy to help with other testing.

I hope your app development goes well. I wish you luck.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SuperUserMovado:
??? This doesn't do anything regarding the booting off your phone. Are you rooted and what rom are you running? To be honest I am testing the rom on my motorola Atrix so it may be slower on previous gen phones. If I can't iron out the bugs or find an xperia to test I will remove it from the supported phones for now.

The app is in beta it is not reached version 1 yet.

I am sorry the app cause you to reflash your rom, it should not have.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bruce Lee:
I was running the 2.1 rom in my signature. Yes i am rooted. No need for sorry. I porbably just screwed up lol. I am still learning about testing apps. I got the rom thing down though.

I can try again sometime in two weeks when i dont need my phone running stable. I would say remove the suppport from the x10 so these threads dont get bombed by the noobs who have no idea what they are doing. Thats my opinion though.

I've left the original screen protector on my phone but now its pretty badly scratched up and looks just kind of icky. Anybody removed it and just using a naked screen? I know its gorilla glass so I'm not worried. I carried my Incredible around without screen protector for a year and it was perfect. Any thoughts before I Yank this thing of for good?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Gorilla glass CAN be scratched. I kept seeing all these clips of people scratching at their screens with various pieces of metal which doesn't seem to do it. But a lot of people have reported that sand or stones can and do scratch it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
why run the risk? I just took mine off yesterday because I received a screen protector in the mail. Had it on since I got it on 4/20. Leaves a sticky residue that is easily wiped off.

Just took mine off, rocking the glass all the way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c00lkatz:
I used the stock cover for a few days and bought the Tmobile cover, which is crap and in my opinion worse than the stock cover. Just got the whole phone covered in Ghost Armor at the mall (no messy self-installation ftw), and couldn't be happier. Feels like the stock glass, but with better protection and lifetime warranty.

The reviews showing keys scratching against the glass are bogus. Glass is a mineral and keys are metal. Metal will not scratch glass, only a mineral. So you're safe from your keys but not from dropping it on a rock or gravel.

Get a cover.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shilent:
I no longer use screen protector on my phones. I like the feeling and look of the glass much better. I got a very small scratch on mines after going to the beach so I can confirm that sand is able to scratch it. But this scratch is so small that it's only visible with the screen off and holding it at certain angles, even then you need to really look for it.

Why do we make such big deals about scratches anyway? You should see all the scratches on my Palm Pre (plastic screen easily scratched), yet when the screen is on, you can't even see them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Took my screen protector off. The screen feels amazing and more responsive. I will just keep it protected near sand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] heat23:
I kept the stock "screen protector" on for a few days until I got a real protector. I immediately put a Skinomi screen protector (only $8 with free shipping on Amazon). It retains about 90% of the smooth glassy feel and the screen is still extremely responsive. I highly recommend these. You can get it here
