I've always had my messages split up when they were over 160 characters :/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantumrabbit:
This is intended. There is a 160 character limit on text messages. Some apps cut you off of typing at 160, others just use multiple texts... it depends. If you have a limited # per month plan, a 161 character text will count as 2.

Hi friends,

This is my first post so unfortunately I cannot post in the android development thread under sea-15 official rom thread. This is my first android device but I've read quite a bit before taking the plunge into flashing a rom onto my defy coz i didn't want to brick my device.

I wanted to retain the downgradability to eclair i.e. 2.1 option in case something went wrong with the froyo installation. So I decided to use the nandroid backup+ fixed sbf method to update defy to froyo instead of flashing full sbf method. I downloaded the requisite file from the above mentioned thread and followed all the instructions carefully.Everything worked fine until flashing the fixed sbf.i had the requisite drivers installed, rsd lite 4.9. My phone was detected by rsd lite but inspite of repeatedly trying "the flashing process failed". I redownloaded the fixed sbf; restarted my computer and tried again but it kept on failing again and again.

I had read about making our own fixed sbf from some thread on xda forum. So, I downloaded the "full" sbf for sea-15 froyo official posted in the same thread as that of nandroid back-up+fixed sbf. Then followed the instructions in the other thread and "CREATED" my own fixed sbf. I tried to flash it only once and bingo! It was done .The flashing process lasted for something like 2-3 minutes and was SUCCESSFUL.

Now, my froyo is working like a charm! So far I've had no issues :flash is working for video recording: 3g is working. I'm just wondering if any of you are having similar issues by using nandroid back-up + fixed sbf method. If you are, then this could be a possible SOLUTION. If you want I can post the fixed sbf I've created (which WORKED for me). Being new to this forum I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to upload this file.Ofcourse it depends upon the necessity

Here is the shakedown

Have a full Windows 2003 Native domain environment. DNS, DHCP etc. Verizon Fios ISP with Actiontek Wireless router. DHCP has been disabled on the router. While Evo was running on “Froyo” WIFI was working fine. It would obtain a lease from the WIN2003 DHCP server and access local and Internet resources. After applying the “gingerbread” update external access is not available, (google, msn etc), Local works fine. The IP obtained is from the production scope (192.168.1.XX). If I statically assign an IP from that scope it will work. Any thoughts??

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pennywiseguy:
Hi everyone.

After finally deciding to take the plunge to go for NAND install, over sd (which has been working fine apart from slow wake up) I have tried to get TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 ROM installed. I have followed instructions precisely with the Clean Installation guide he linked to.

So

- I have run task29

- Installed Radio Leo 2.15.50.14

- Installed MAGLDR with MAGLDR113_DAF

- Installed Install CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) Recovery_150M_system_5M_cache[v3.0.2.5]

Now when I start MAGLDR, I get the error message nand kernal open failed.

I can continue as instructed to ClockworkMod Recovery, and when I try to select option “mount USB storage”, I get the "unable to write to ums lunfile".

Now I admit when I first tried this, I left my sd card in my card reader, so I started again from step 1.

Am I supposed to of installed a separate kernal somewhere, before installing MAGLDR? I presumed that would be included in above steps.

sdcard has been formatted to FAT32 in a single partition.

Please help

Thanks

I think the problem was not holding down the power button completely when rebooting and also not just ignoring the error messages and trying to load the rom from zip. All appears to be working. Maybe those observations could be added to guides? Unless it's just me being a bit dim. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wasonamit:
Hi All,

I got the samsung infuse by exchanging the HTC inspire which had a horrible battery life.

I love this phone and would like to keep it, but the very poor Data speeds and somewhat poor WIFI signal strength is bugging me.

Any suggestions ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
crappy wifi is normal... :( sorry. everyone has it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carhigh:
Crappy wifi is normal???? Mine is perfect on stock rom.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tankmorph:
Yes, my wifi is also excellent since the baseband update. No problems. Great range, strong signal and throughput.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
what? Are you only 2 feet away from the router?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Well this is aggrivating, should i return? I only have one line most of the time
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Are you guys on g or n networks?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garak0410:
My wifi is fair to good. For me, it certainly isn't an issue were I would take the phone back. My main issue was the constant lock ups and reboots from the stock browser. But since that update last week the phone has been running really well and no lock ups.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Ok.. So now im sitting here with a new device, with the same crappy wifi... yay me
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
and i cant seem to get the ucke3 upgrade... hrmmm....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dh2225:
My wifi is average, at 30-40ft though 2-3 walls I get 2 bars but doing speedtest i get maximum download and upload. Maybe you should try wifi analyzer and see if you can connect to a better channel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
I'm getting an extra bar now it seems... although the difference is not major, but its improved. Got the UCKE3 update, after contacting AT&T to push it to my phone :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jhunt1:
My WiFi gets good signal strength throughout my house, 50+ feet I still have 3-4 bars; however, sitting within ten feet I still only get 1.5Mb down MAX. My h+ speeds are the same... It is terrible. My Captivate is much faster on the same network.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] YukiXDA:
Hi,

I've finally relocated overlaped modules and updated .VM module

Just unpack this zip in your rom (overwrite all modules provided)

The last overlaped: Windiad.dll

Just delete the module from your build and verify you have this key in Default.hv:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WINDIAG]
"Dll"=""

It will improve stability for all users, avoid random boot crashes and avoid latency when loading some things. So more peace ;)

The pack: HD2_WP7_7392_Relocated_modules

Regards
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
thanks alot for all your work. highly appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] YukiXDA:
You're welcome

The file for those who already use some new layouts.

(there will be change soon in Default.hv, tomorrow I think)

HD2_WP7_7392_Relocated_modules_New_layouts
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] elMInStER:
Thank you very much, can you tell us how do you remmaped green phone button? I make this in registry, but you do this another way.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] YukiXDA:
Yes I'll do.

I will update my tuto of my rom thread.

It's a modification of a dll

But tonight I will upload a pack with all remaping layouts, so users could use the one they want and you'll not have to do the job :)

And I think you'll find the solution by yourself by examining the files :)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legacy2385:
Can someone help me please? I made a rookie mistake (although I'm not rookie) and I removed my framework-res.apk, I have a backup of it but I can't figure out how to push it using fastboot commands. I don't have access to adb. If anyone can help me get adb access that would help as well. Thx in advance guys.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
No you can not push it through fastboot. If you have CWM installed, boot to recovery, mount /system and you can push with adb there.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbaskip:
Hi. I've done the same thing, but when I'm in CWM Recovery, my PC can't find the device in ADB?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Download androidcommander and download the sdk tools. Or go to uot kitchen and make up a fake framewok for flashing your tablet then replace the framework file with yours and flash it in clockwork
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
No you can't push via fastboot.

However if you're looping you'll find that adb has actually started and then you can just adb remount and adb push.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Try loading up these drivers and going back into adb... This worked for me on my Win7 machine

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hassanhassan:
I have a HTC Desire HD on T-Mobile Uk 2.3.3 software 2.37.110.5 CL58702. I can't seem to find this on the internet. The reason I wanted it was because I wanted to root and maybe install custom roms, etc. I would like to have a backup of this for warranty purposes.

From what I understand I cannot dump the rom without root access, to gain root access, I have to downgrade first? I'm not too sure what the best method to root the phone is, I've discovered different methods, some seem old. What is the best way to allow me to root but be able to flash back to the software mentioned above just in case.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |ErosizeD|:
Ok first of all, thanks to all people that give me an answer.

i whant the phone for:

1- Play Games

2- Listen music

3- Whatch, record, FHD content at the best quality ( bitrate )

4- Use as digital camera. ( best image quality with tweaks )

5- Wich have the fastest DSP

6- Speed transfers ( internal and external )

Can you give me test, on default frequency of both ?

i have ear, the optimus 2X at the same frequency 1.2 Ghz runs faster than GS2...

Yes i know this is SG2 forum, but i think you have more information than i can found on google.

after that, thanks, and forgive my bad english.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pHyR3:
sgs2 hands down, its the best phone out by far, most products dont even compareeeeeeeeeeeee to it, no way its faster at the same frequency haha
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
GS2

:cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky56789:
SGS2. Had an optimus 2x but it had reboot problems like many other people, dont buy one
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustNotSleep:
SGS2, no doubt.

I didn't even consider the Optimus when I was researching my purchase a few months back (I was undecided between the SGS2 and the Atrix). Ended up buying the SGS2.

First of all, read some reviews. There are direct comparisons of both phones on YouTube as well as countless head-to-head benchmarks (here's one).

The SGS2 is simply faster. Both in synthetic tests and in real-world use. Samsung has done an incredible job of optimizing TouchWiz for the hardware, there is simply no lag at all no matter what you run on the SGS2. I can't say that LG has done the same.

Also, 1GB RAM > 512MB RAM.

That said, if gaming is your main focus, stick with Tegra2. While the SGS2 plays most of Tegra2 games, you'll have to jump through some hoops to make them run (Chainfire 3D).

But even then, if mobile gaming is your main focus, why not go for an iPhone that has a much bigger library of quality games? Or, still, why not wait for the PS Vita?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeandujardin01:
errrr did you also post in the O2X forum ? :)

because answers might not be the same LOL

PS: stick with GS2, you won't regret it ! :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaStark:
I recently installed cm7.0.3 and flashed gapps where I was able to download and install one messaging app. However now when I try to download and install any other app such as Opera, I see the download arrow which quickly disappears and does not install. Thus far, for any app I download, it does not install.

I did find a thread while googling for answers, but I can't install the app. Here were the instructions:

So I can't really continue with it. I also don't know where the .apk files are downloaded to so I can't be sure that the system just doesn't immediately delete it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] do0b:
after flashing gapps, did you wipe your cache and dalvik cache?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaStark:
I am not sure I did, I remember doing that when flashing cm7 but I doubt I did while flashing Gapps. What are the commands to do that? (unless there is an option in the interface somewhere)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
I'm on Darky's ROM since 9.2 and I've been flashing different stuff with 100% success rate... So far.

My girlfriend also bought a Galaxy S (the I9000, just for info) and me, considering myself a "veteran flasher" (but in real life, still being a tutorial-following guide monkey) told her "Hey, you know what - I can make your phone ten times better, just give it to me overnight".

So I prepared the phone... factory reset, etc. The 3-button combo didn't work (hmm, strange) but I looked around for a solution anyway - found one involving Odin, ADB and updating the bootloader, but since a lot of people bricked their devices this way, I skipped it.

I got the phone to boot into download mode via ADB and then started the guide to instal Darky's Ressurection Edition. Connected to Odin, the phone was recognized and added, then I started it and Odin spat out an ERROR message, then the phone was stuck at the "black screen of death" (a phone and a PC connecting).

So... why the hell did this happen?

I've already flashed my own Galaxy S so I've done this maybe even twice... got drivers, Odin, everything! What went wrong and can I even fix this or I gotta buy a new phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gillesguinet:
you can probably use a jig to get the phone back to download mode.

buy one on ebay or make one yourself. theres plenty of guides online for that.

as for odin having an error im thinking you might have a corrupt file? try downloading it again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
can you go into recovery mode or any 3 button won't work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftj3kf3:
But why did you just dont installed the 3 button method which gives you the change to flash other roms e.g.

Yes you risk to brick but you also risk but in my mind much bigger to brick your phone without 3 button so if something went wrong you have the change to go with the 3 buttons to the recovery menu...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madave:
Try getting the battery out for 1-2 seconds, put it back in and then try getting into download mode manually by holding first volume down+home and then also the power button.

If you can get into download mode, which is something I've found not to be pretty easy to erase, as it's independant from boot settings and files, all is still OK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
Yeah, I'll be out in the morning to buy the mats for a JIG, found a pretty easy guide how to make one, with pictures and everything.

The files being corrupt is something I didn't even think about, I'll re-download them if/when I manage to get the phone working.

Battery pull didn't do the trick, left it out of the phone for 4 hours, no dice.

After all, the phone is still under warranty and was recently 2.1 untill my gf updated it. Maybe I can tell that it's her fault, messing up Kies update or what? :confused::confused: Then I'll get a free service/replacement, but I'll need a solid excuse to tell them. Any ideas? :D (yeah I know I'm an awful person but I can't afford a second Galaxy S, and the thought of giving her *my precious* because of my stupidity is just as awful) :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
rolfmao you made my day bro, my gf just bought a SGS as well but she saw me almost crying with the bricks i created, so as soon as i asked her if i could update her phone

she almost kicked me in the nutsack.

building a jig is pretty easy, you just need to practice touching the correct pins and you will be good to go.

as for the odin, it happends....i bricked my phone so many times

i just forced download mode and then reflashed with THE SAME FILES and it worked

my guess is that the connection is interrupted or something...causing it to abort or fail
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
FYI: Bricking means turning it to a brick, you can't revert from a "bricking"... Bad flash, ok! Black screen, ok! Brick, hum... if you can "unbrick", well, that's not bricking my friend!

All this to say the SGS is ALMOST unbrickable! With Jig, download mode, ADB, etc, there's so many way you can undo/redo things right!

You can say a lot of thing about the SGS, but the thing is made for developpers and flashers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbusch:
Build a jig and do it yourself. Then if you run into trouble in the future - hey! you have a jig, no problem. Warranty situation is a bit iffy, sometimes they see that you screwed it up yourself.... :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
Yeah, I know, but I read in another thread that if I get this screen AND can't get into download mode then I'm toast. That's why I used the word brick.

I decided I'll send her return the phone, equipped with her cutest and n00biest face so that they won't even think that there's a real idiot involved (me). And if they don't fall for that, I'll build a jig and try myself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinotek:
THIS IS WHY I HAVE NO GIRLFRIEND!!!

nah j/k! :P

But man... I didn't think you could actually brick the SGS. I mean, I always screw my rom up somehow, but the 3 button combos always work... Guess I'm just lucky... I'll try to be more careful from now on lol.

You bricking your SGS has taught me a valuable lesson! So thanks for that ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
LOL, np :D

Anyway, I just sent her to return the phone, maybe it's a common problem because the guy there didn't even listen to her explaining the crude story I made her tell ("PC froze and then rebooted itself while updating" - yeah right!).

They said it'll be ready next week (hopefully).

This also thought me a lesson - maybe even two.

1) Never try crazy stuff on a Galaxy S without 3 button combo working properly.

2) Always have a JIG ready for use :D

When she gets it back next week I'll see if the 3BC works and if it does - yeah, I'll try to flash a custom ROM again :p

Best I've heard all day :)

But I must ask - how the ... did you manage to talk her into returning the phone herself...?? If that would have been me screwing up my gf's phone, she wouldn't let me in the house until I had fixed the darn thing myself. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
I gave her mine - already heavily tweaked and loaded it with games like Plants vs. Zombies and Let's Create! : Pottery (she just loves that game). Plus I equipped MY cutest and n00biest face when I showed up to tell her the *cough* results.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonsy16:
This made my day. Apparently I thought only girls can put on a cute face and disarm anyone. LOL!

Regarding the brick, what I did was to repeatedly tried doing the 3BC then held all of it until the brick icon goes to download mode. Held it for 5minutes. No jig needed! If you keep it held down for some time, the phone resets itself. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SGS IS CONNECTED VIA USB!

Good luck!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerospyke:
i think this is why all flash posts say make sure 3 button combo is working before you start... but I have had to use a jig to get mine back from the brink/brick once, almost made me cry as i needed my phone in 2 hours to meet up with friends :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerospyke:
Oh yea... you will have to let us know what they said when she took it back. I am curious if they ask questions about how it got there and if they believed her... don't want to make things difficult in there but I know some companies who have products that are highly customisable (if "hacked like this") are suspicious of most software related problems
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluheart:
But getting the soft-bricked phone back to a new state with a new ROM would have been a great gift while returning the phone!

Dont u think so?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
The whole idea was to get rid of the stock firmware and flash something epic ( in my case - Darky's 9.2).

They didn't ask her anything at the service centre so I/we got lucky with that, and even better - I formatted the internal SD card before flashing so even if the phone isn't hard bricked there won't be any evidence of software modifications :cool: (because I rooted the phone to backup everything with TB and to be able to put it in download mode via ADB).

Next week I'll report what happened and if I finally managed to flash a custom ROM (if not, expect a new thread: "Can't believe I bricked my Galaxy S... again!")
