[HD Mini General] Icemanuk:
Hi and thanks.

I went to the Uk site and then sorted by ROM and there are three. The first two dont apply so do i use the last one?

This one?

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD mini

An updated ROM is now available for HTC HD mini users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.

Date : 2010-06-30

Best

Ice

PS

Do I do the ROM first and then any other updates?

PPS

If I get the last update does it include all the previous updates in it?
[HD Mini General] keko68:
RIGHT

It is right, go with the ROM first and then the rest. Some of these updates you need to copy to the SD card and then install them (time, peep, audio).
[HD Mini General] Icemanuk:
Hmmm

I downloaded this update:

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD mini

Release Date: 2010-06-30 Category: ROM Upgrade

and it updated and yet the ROM version and ROM date stayed the same as before?

Which do you prefer?
[G Tablet General] jhermit:
I started from Vegan 5.1.1 I really liked 5.1.1 but whenever the kiddos would play some of their games, it would crash and I had to repartition SD card. I love Titanium :-)

So got tired of having to repartition due to crashes went to Vegan HoneyComb after one of the crashes. Had some cool things and worked pretty good, but too sluggish for me.

Then I went to Vegan GE and liked it very much. However, I had a couple of apps that kept freezing. Other than those two apps, I really liked it and found it better than 5.1.1 The only weirdness was that I had to install MOBO Player and set it up for "soft decoding" to view some of my videos. When I got the freezes, I never had to repartition or anything. It handled crashes very well.

Out of curiosity, I tried CM7.0.3 and have absolutely loved it. I still needed the MOBO Player tip, but everything else was great. It was snappy and worked very well. In 4 days I have not crashed once. Another perceived benefit is that I believe that the sleep battery drain is a lot less than Vegan. I have not done empirical testing, so take it with a grain of salt.

Bottom line, I like CM7 the best with Vegan GE a very close second. I liked the Vegan keyboard better and thats why I installed Thumb Keyboard and now I am 100% happy in CM7.

[G Tablet General] tcrews:
VEGAn-GE is built off CM7.0 source.

CM has moved from CM7.0 to CM7.03 (stable release).

Both VEGAn-GE and CM7.0 were nice....but CM has moved on to CM7.03 (many nightly versions in between 7.00-7.03) with significant code updates/cleanups and features.
[G Tablet General] gtab_11:
Both CM7.03 and Vegan ge seams the same ... and as I understand based on Android 2.3. It would be interested to evaluate CM 7.03 versus TNT lite(I assume it based on original android 2.2 firmware ) based on stability and hardware support?
[G Tablet General] sincerity:

::cough:: That's Froyo based ::cough::
[G Tablet General] moderndayhippie:
I tried CM7 between TNT Lite 4.4 and VEGAn-TAB GE. I noticed right away that it was faster but the only reason I didn't stick with it is that it didn't use a full featured browser.

Hi

I have bought Galaxy S2 from UK and currently I have rooted it with KE7 firmware.

I am in living in India. Now can I install KE8 Indian firmware?

If I can , then do I need to follow generic firmware installation process with odin or do I need to do something special.

And also If I can install, is it possible to root it?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tiho5:
I installed Touchpal 4 and it is by far the best keyboard. Works perfectly and I made a Bulgarian BDS version with a working dictionary (xT9 and T9 functionality) and it works fine. I used their tool SDK 3.5 to make the surface files:

1. BulgarianBDS.img

2. surface.data

3. user_dic.txt

I mad the BulgarianBDS.img out of BulgarianBDS.txt file which include more than 80000 unique Bulgarian words and now the xT9 and T9 on the Touchpal keyboard are working perfect!

I just need to only adjust a few more things there (some of the words priorities). But I need to extract back the BulgarianBDS.txt file out of the BulgarianBDS.img file

Does anybody know how is it possible to "decompile" or edit the BulgarianBDS.img file so that one gets the BulgarianBDS.txt file out of it?

[General Questions and Answers] Red Hood:
I've downloaded and tried various .img for rooting my color nook.

I can not get past the initall step of using win32diskimager to WRITE the file to my Sandisk (I have 2gb & 8 gb). Most of the attempts left me with only a 115 mg format. Not enough room to complete step 2. Last attempt I was on the Autonooter version 2 I think. This attempt only left me with a 39mg.

What is going on. Why isn't the .img able to format larger?
[General Questions and Answers] xdp:
I'm having the same problem I think. When I try to write the image it says not enough space on disk. This is a newly formatted 8 GB card and I'm running the program as administrator.
[General Questions and Answers] Red Hood:
found out the problem - the formatting is correct - when your asked to copy the next file which is a zip file - only copy it do not unzip file. they should add this note to the notes already online. people like me that are used to getting zip files are use to unzipping them to a specific location. COPY MEANS COPY
[General Questions and Answers] riemann73:
I've had the same problem. I'm on W7 and found that the image write has issues on 7 professional. I have too few posts so you need to dechipher this (bugs dot launchpad dot net/win32-image-writer/+bug/786060). So I dl'd the patch and stripped out the QT to make a cmd line version of the tool and still no luck. I tried winimage and it wrote and image but the nook didnt boot up with either a CM7 mod or MN/CW sd. I posted a similar question on this last night. Hopefully we get an answer soon
[General Questions and Answers] xdp:
I fixed my issues by using the oldest version of WIN32 disk imager (0.1) as well as formatting the card first with SD Card Formatter http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/ also make sure to run as administrator. These steps seem to be necessary for win 7 64 bit.

>>> Feel free to vote even if you do not want to leave a comment <<<

Hello..I am thinking of retiring my sgs for sgs2..Until a few days earlier i had even planned, when to get it..i have played with the phone on stores and its more than amazing..its so much better than everything else out there, its almost alien..

BUT..For a few days i have browsed to reaserch before i spend that kind of money.And it turns out it has MANY issues..

yellow screens

short wifi ranges

pink photos

rf-flaky gps

battery drains

sudden reboots

and worst of all overheats..

I guess for the most part they "could" be software problems..But overheating is a real worry for me..I live in a country where summers , ambient temperatures easily climb to 40-45 degrees celsius..An overheat combined to that could litteraly melt the device..

So i ask of you , already owners..Is it really as bad as reading about it looks?or is it exxagerations?It is not a cheap device so i should proceed carefuly.Thank you..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Its a dual core so its going to get hot and as it has a thin case will appear more hot .

But its not what i term a HOT hot i would term it warm mostly .

The other problems you mention dont doubt that they exist on someone's phone but not on mine from day one .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stitch!:
I am using my second sgs2 now. The first one I had had no issues except a pink spot on photos. (this was gone after firmware upgrade)

Then the phone got stolen....

Second sgs2 now and everything works fine, no overheating or anything, I would say my old sgs got even warmer at times especially when gaming on the charger.

I would say it depends a bit on your device, but overall it should be ok! Im extremely happy after upgrading to be honest;) (Hence I bought a second sgs2 after the first one got ripped)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2busy:
Hello..I remember seeing you often on sgs subfora.I hope you are happy with your upgrade!

Would you say it is like 40 degrees warm?or 50 degrees warm?As i said if it escalades too much on an already high ambient temperature it could fry it..

Also..Do you use a case?I suspect that would make heat problems worse?

I'm planning to retire my 6 months old SGS and get an SGS II!

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

-yellow screens

if my sgsII screen is yellow, than it should be ;) So no problems there, all colors are like they should be. I really like the display

-short wifi ranges

I heard that from a friend, he tried with another friend and iPhone 4 had better range for wifi. Where the sgsII had no connection, the iPhone still could use wifi.

in my apartment I can use the phone everywhere. router is on the one side of the house, bed on the other side (~10m, 2 walls) and it works. It shows 2 of 3 for wifi. So its okay for me

-pink photos

none, I read the post here and tried it out with a white wall, flash and no flash. Bad light. But picture was still perfect.

-rf-flaky gps

GPS works fine for me

-battery drains

its a smartphone, so you need to recharge every day or every second day. Depending on how much you use it. Like any other high end android device.

-sudden reboots

No reboots yet

-and worst of all overheats..

it is getting hot.

but no problems for me.

It's gettin colder very fast if you stop to use it.

But even when I used it over an hour (plugged in) I had no problem with holding it.

Overall I like the phone. I dont want another one

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
Please don't take the general section at face value. I have a sgs2 from first batch with no issues. After any device release, the section will be filled with false complaints.

Most complaint threads will have the most post versus positive threads. Most if not all complaint threads are bs with very few actual members having problems.

No phone is perfect but my device is running great.

I guess if I really realy try I can see this yellow tarnish on my screen too, but onlu if I really try and only under certain conditions

range is okay but I have disconnect/reconnect every so often

gps has been very fast for me

If I open the pictures fullscreen on this post, I can see some lines on my screen. On full brightness I dont see them, but with lower there are vague lines. I might check if other phones have this to, can some people here check it for me?

This is a minor problem, and I havent noticed it before someone pointed it out. The branding is also an issue if you make it an issue, this is software not hardware so can be fixed.

I've got to 50 before, using google maps and navigation beta simultaneously. It is a dual core phone though, and obviously is going to have a bit of sizzle behind it when pounding the processors.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otaku888:
I'd say go for it, it really is an amazing phone. The so called problems that have been raised are so superficial that they are near to non-existent. e.g. to see the yellow tint you have to turn down the brightness, use a certain coloured grey background, use a camera to take a picture of it, and then use photoshop to compare the colour of the two sides.

Come on folks, really.

I've used it heavily for a week and have had no overheating problems, you can always check the task manager if an application is misbehaving, it even blinks red if it's hitting the cpu hard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2busy:
thanks for the answer on overheating mate..your problem is nothing to worry about..its called banding and it exists on all amoled screens...it is more apparent on shades of grey colour..if you use winamp you can probably see it there on the main screen as well..nothing to worry about.i guess the new samoled+ will also have slower burn in time so it will not become worse soon..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2busy:
i am not an expert in matters like this,but woulddn't it help if we could get replacement back covers made of thin aluminum?it would also ensure that if the phone dropped it would land on its back and not on the screen probably.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stitch!:
I understand your point, but since the thickness of the phone is almost nothing, the metal would be so close to the gravitational centre that it wouldn't influence a lot. About the battery cover: It is extremely good quality plastic. Did some pressure and heat testing and its a good grade of plastic I can assure you.

Another point: With replacing the thin plastic with metal, heat will increase. Another reason why im sticking with the metal.

The banding thing you mentioned is not my whole problem. The streaking of the screen is a different issue. But since its not very important to me I still voted positive in your poll;)
