[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
Yesterday tried the Hub. Downloaded a couple of wallpapers and some widgets.

Aaand...

Most of my widgets, like the power control and eRay and a whole lot more developed a case of horizontal pixel lines, like a bad signal. Constantly changing position and witdh. Plus the phone became severely slow.

Uninstalled the new widgets, left only the fortune cookie, a bit less lines. Removed the Hub account from the phone, the **** is the same. Removed the cookie as well, no change. Tried logging in the Hub again. No chance. Bad user/pass. Tried signing up again - nope. Tried forgotten password - can't find the security question, it said. So I reset the phone. I don't even dare to try logging into the stupid Hub again. It does however log me in from HTCsense.com. I hate my life. And I really hope the phone doesn't suffer from something gruesome from this experience. It doesn't deserve it. :(
[Galaxy S II General] alien45:
Well, the phone is fast enough for any app on the market. Playing HD videos is superb smooth. Touchwiz is okay for me. But the battery doesn't seem ok to me. Don't know if mine's got some problem or it's normal for all SGS II users. I'd love to have a rom/mod that lasts a whole day with usage music:~4hrs, video:~1hr, web browsing:1hr+, facebook+email+rss feeds reading: ~2hrs, calls(including fringout calls): 1hr and rest on standby. Any suggestions appreciated.

Two possibilities:

Charge it from time to time

Or

Bring a car battery with You

I was shocked at the beginning that this device consumes power since shouting messages and reading paper magazines needed no electricity but now I found my personal solution:

I bought a mobile power plant.

I'm getting 2 days out mine. VillainROM 1.1, and underclock to 500 MHz. Can't tell the difference in speed between it and stock, and battery life great on CF-Root XWKE7 kernel :)
[Fascinate General] solido888:
Cellcom (Wi.) is rolling out official GB for its Galaxy S (Showcase) phone. It appears to be a CDMA phone:

http://www.cellcom.com/phone.html?navtype=business&phoneid=178

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-23-gingerbread-coming-cellcom-galaxy-s-and-milestone-x

Will this help us VZW Fascinate owners at all? Or more importantly our devs?
[Fascinate General] CrucialBT:
I'm guessing it won't be terribly helpful unless they release the source with that as well.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
if its a cdma phone (im assuming its the same showcase as the cellsouth one) then with a few edits we can use it

but theres no timeline on that promise...hell as we all know verizon "promised" froyo at launch of the fascinate..and look how long that took...so vague promises dont mean much really
[Fascinate General] solido888:
True, but I will give cellcom the benefit of the doubt, where I would not give it to VZW, as their track record has been poor. Time will tell :)
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
i find it highly doubtful that samsung makes an entire gb build for a regional carrier that ive never even heard and maybe sold 5-10k of a device...odds are if/when it came out it would be a modified build that they made for verizon or at least uscc

so they wouldnt get it unless we did...so they can say what they want, but until its out...its just talk :o
[Fascinate General] jselden:
Wether or not they hold true to their promise did some checking and cellcom is definately CDMA. And the showcase is listed as i500.

So when they do drop it, which will more than likely be before verizon, we could gets some GB lovin.

I still think a few more months before we see anything.
[Fascinate General] solido888:
What makes you so sure VZW doesn't already have the same Samsung GB code that Cellcom is basing their release off? VZW just needs a few months to bloat it up.
[Fascinate General] sfobrien:
I wouldn't bet against that.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
i dont know for a fact that vzw *doesnt* have a gb build hidden away somewhere...but if they did im pretty sure we would have heard something or at least whispers of it

but honestly i would be shocked if a gb leak (let alone official ota) happened before the early fall at all
[Fascinate General] MattRussNC:
My money its on the fascinate getting gb around the same week as ice cream comes out. But how much better can it com rom? My battery is amazing and the phone screems. Unless team usage goes down im not seeing the big deal.

Well there is that pretty screen off/on animation ;)

XDA Prem app Running UKB w PBJ
[Fascinate General] solido888:
Im just saying id be shocked if VZW best any of the smaller carriers on a gb release for the cdma i500. I'm not saying any release is imminent.
[Fascinate General] TheMuffStuff:
The phone looks like the same phone as ours, Im sure someone would be able to cook up seomthing
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Do a little research. It's an i500 Showcase. So we're pretty much set when/if gingerbread drops for that phone.
[Fascinate General] solido888:
If source was released (or leaked) for this, would that help you guys with CM7 at all? I feel like you guys will probably be done with CM7 anyways by the time that [might] happen, but I am under the impression that since it will be TW, it won't be of much use to the AOSP GB roms.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
No more than ED01 helped jt's CM 6.2 build :\

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
I feel like people don't really tend to read the actual source link.

"Android 2.3( Gingerbread) Update: We have been informed by Motorola that the Milestone X & by Samsung that the Galaxy S Showcase will both be getting an update to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). At this time there have not been testing timelines established, so we do not have any indication as to when the updates will be available."

In other words: Cellcom is merely saying Samsung told them there will, eventually, be a 2.3 upgrade for the Showcase. The carrier hasn't seen anything themselves -- which means we don't even know if it's been developed or not yet. This could mean there'll be an update in a month, or it could mean there'll be an update in 6 months.
[Fascinate General] solido888:
I am not sure anyone indicated otherwise in this thread. VZW has yet to announce we will get GB officially, so it is good to know this phone will be, since we will be able to use it for VZW also, regardless of timeline.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
It may help get anything kernel related fixed, but any of the problems are ROM related, then the source would be useless, just as all platform source releases have been pretty useless.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yalouf:
I used to browse for more than 9-10 hours in Wifi and 2g no data reception with my former iphone 4.

I used to browse for more than 7-8 hours in Wifi and 2g no data reception with my Defy.

I can't browse for more than 4hours and a half in Wifi with my SGS with low brightness. But standby time is good anyway.

In battery usage under froyo, screen can use as much as 80% battery when surfing. With my defy it was 50% maximum

I wanted to see how much the screen alone can last with a full charge battery.

Defy Specs :

Running Official Froyo French 2.2 nothing else.

Galaxy S specs :

Running JSD 2.2.1, with speedmod K13E mod and auto brightness fix.

Result : Defy 17h SGS 13h

The test setup was (see my signature) and 2 post above.

SGS and Defy battery are both 1500mAh.

Part 1 :Auto-brightness on a standard web page in mid light room for 6 hours.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Result : Defy 45% left SGS 52% left

Part 2 : Max brightness for 1h on a colored screen

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Result : Defy 38% left SGS 37% left

Part 3 : Minimum Brightness on a dark wallpaper for 1h

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Result : Defy 34% left SGS 31% left

Part 4 : Around 30% brightness (a little bit more on the defy) on sky/green wallpaper for 1h

Result : Defy 29% left SGS 23% left

Part 5 : Auto Brightness till battery dies on a white dark vodor wall :p

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

When i got up :

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

10%left on the defy and SGS was dead.

All the results were recorded with Battery monitor widget :

SGS died at 7:40am

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Defy died at 11:30am

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I'm using auto brightness fix and lower brightness values from speedmod k13e.

Without that i think the SGS would have died a lot earlier.

I can't mesure the "nits" but i've checked the luminosity to see if it's about the same.

In the first part of the test the Back light keys of the defy turned on for some hours i think that's why it performed worse than the SGS at the beginning. I've turned the light on just above the 2 phones for the BL keys to turn off. Btw, the autobrightness was quite low during the first part.

Finally GS screen consumption is not so bad with a minimum brightness and auto brightness fix. As soon as you crank the brightness a litlle bit, it's really power consuming. And at 100% brigtness both phone do the same under heavy sun for text reading and movie watching.

And the defy can last 2h30 hours with auto brightness on with 10% left :eek:

Or maybe it's a difference in battery calibration.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yalouf:
How much screen usage do you get on average ? Who gets more than 5-6 hours ???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunwee:
I found that SGS2 is really unlike SGS1 where you really need a custom rom to bring it up to speed.

As you can guess, I am rather happy with the stock rom. However because it is not deodexed, I am missing out a lot on the theming side.

So the question is, is there any deodexed stock KE7 or is someone working on it? In the old sgs1 day, Doc Rambone had a Roms kitchen brewing, I am missing that a lot :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I've got KE7 deodexed somewhere, but tbh it's not worth the upload - VR1.1 is essentailly stock with a couple of tweaks and fixe, and isn't that different from stock as of yet. Dunno if that helps, but it might be an alright base, as it's deodexed and working etc...

Or you could deodex it yourself if you fancy a play around :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunwee:
Thanks pulser. I did consider vr but because it needed a wipe I am not willing to go thru the whole process of setting up my phone again seeing that 2.3.4 could be just around the corner.

As for deodexing for myself, I did search xda but strangely despite quite a bit of interest, no one has written a simple to understand guide. Well if you are up to it, maybe you could give us a guide, am quite sure it will be well received :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elbartho_de:
Hello together,

I'm a happy user of ver. 2.0.1, running very fast and had no crashes since the installation two weeks ago.

During this time, I installed much apps and made my own settings for my device.

Can anyone tell me, how to update the system without loosing my data? I can make a full backup first with Titanium Backup and then recover the data.

Many thanks

Bart
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
you have given the answer of your question. you can load with titanium all your apps after updating the rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Do you have MAGLDR?

If so,go to 8. ad recovery>back up and restore,and back up your current ROM.

Then after you install your next ROM,go back into ad recovery>backup and restore>advanced restore and:

Data restores your personal information.

Cache restores your settings and any other cached information.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elbartho_de:
Backup, update and restore

Hi,

thanks for your reply. Yes, I have MAGLDR. For other users having my question in the future, this are steps I made to update - malybru, thanks for your tips, I appreciate! :)

- Go into MAGLDR, choose point "8", then "backup and restore" -> "backup" (consider, you should have enough free space on your SD card), backup takes about 5-10 minutes

- Power off your phone, take SD card out and copy the new ZIP file with the new rom inside the root folder

- power up your phone, go into MAGLDR, select point "8 - AD recovery". In next screen choose "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard". Select your new ROM (in this case: "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0.XXX.zip" - this is the last file in the list, just press the volume up button on the phone to go to the last entry on sdcard and confirm in next screen, wait until installation is done

- press the "back" key on the phone twice and choose "backup and restore", in next screen the option "advanced restore"

- choose the image to restore, the entry should have following syntax: "YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS.XXX", you should just see one entry from your entire backup

- select "Restore data" for restoring all your files into the phone memory

- when ready, select "backup and restore", "advanced restore" again

- choose the last backup entry, as described above

- "Restore cache" for restoring all your personal settings

- choose the option "reboot" to start into your new ROM and have fun! :-)

Any comments are welcome

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorenzoxda:
Hi guys,

I have a verizon cdma 7" gtab.

I downloaded and extracted the latest system apk from the P1000XWJMK rom.

I tried to update some of the applications just by copying the new ones using root explorer.

To experiment I tried with:

- AlarmClock.apk: after replacing the apk the application disappears and does not work

Then I tried to put files of the Touchwiz Calculator (that is not present in the CDMA version) but nothing.

I also tried to install that but I get an error.

Can anybody help?

Shouldn't that apk be interchangable?

Thanks,

Lorenzo
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
i think , i said i think , they may work if you settle the permission as

read ( check the 3check box )

write ( check the 1st one only )

and un-check all the others

try it now and reboot if its going to work it will work like this , if it doesn't work , means it wont fit :) probably they will work :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorenzoxda:
Thanks for the answer but I already tried by changing permissions and rebooting.

Nothing :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu_Gotti:
You should try using 7zip and open archive, modify the contents and push back via Root Explorer... you ever tried that approach?
[LG Optimus 2x] pa64:
I have seen the same issue on other models forum but could not answer my problem.

Whenever I restore a Nandroid backup using either ROM manager or CWM recovery, all goes fine but on reboot I am stuck on the 2nd LG logo.

The only fix I found is to restore the ROM, pull the battery, boot into recovery, re-install CM7 from the SD card.

This happens will ALL the backups I made while on CM7.

I can however restore and boot the original LG ROM I backed-up after rooting my phone.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

LG Optimus 2x

CM7 nightly 39 (but had the same with previous versions)

ROM manager premium 4.3.1.3

CWM recovery 3.0.2.8
[LG Optimus 2x] mikee2185:
Try wiping all caches (including dalvik in advanced) and fix permissions. Also you can try CWM 3.2.0.x (you have to install it manually, Rom Manager does not let me download it)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
If u restoring nandroid backup of cm7, flash cm7 rom after u completed restoring backup then u reboot.

1. Restore nandroid backup

2. Flash cm7 rom

3. Reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] pa64:
I did wipe all, but it did not help.

I am not sure about CWM 3.2.0.1. I will give it a try.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa64:
Thanks.

This is what I am doing, but why do I need to reflash CM7 after a nandroid restore?
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
I did a nandroid with my fr17, restored it and it wouldn't boot correctly, so i reflashed it without the wipe and it worked, maybe some system file wernt correctly backed up, hope this helps
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It was a problem with the boot image not restoring properly (or at all perhaps), this should be fixed on CWM 3.2.0.1 (and possibly 3.2.0.0)
[LG Optimus 2x] pa64:
Thank you Rusty (and mikee2185).

Installed your 3.2.0.1 and it worked fine!

Cheers.
[LG Optimus 2x] parthabhatta:
Great both of you rusty & pa64. I was facing the same problem with stock ROM restore with a certain version of CWM recovery. Rusty's 3.2.0.1 saved the day for me and restored successfully from the same backup which the other CWM version failed. Thanked both of you.
[LG Optimus 2x] vidit_panchal:
thanks temasek :)

it worked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] infinitron:
When I'm downloading an app from the android market the progress bar that tells me how far through the download I am stays greyed out like it's trying to start a download and then jumps to the installing phase.

There is no indication of how large the app is or how much has been downloaded while downloading is going on. Underneath where it typically shows the size and status it just says "Downloading..."

Things install fine but I'd like it to let me know what's going on while downloading. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to fix it?

I'm on a rooted G2x with stock Froyo. When I use WiFi, I am unable to get a reliable radio signal to make or receive calls. Then I shut WiFi off and the problem persists.

The market shows that there's an update available for the Music app, but when I choose the "Update" button, I get a brief dialog pop-up with the title "Allow Access" (just like the normal permission's dialog, but with no content other than the blue progress circle), which goes away after half a second, and the app is never updated.

How can I get this app updated? It's rather annoying seeing it in the "Updates" section of My Apps....

My first thought was to un-install and re-install it, but because it's a built-in app I don't have that option.
