[Vibrant General] nasgadth:
i have original vibrant charger, i came from cm7 nightlies and with that i got impressive battery life, the only issue that really bother me from cm7 is i can't hear anything if i make calls or receiving calls
[Vibrant General] nasgadth:
ok thanks, i'll try, but charging with my phone connected to the computer takes much longer time, with original charger it takes me 3++ hours
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
Nasgadth if u came from cm7 and u couldnt hear anything u were on nightlie11# which was the only nightlie where u couldnt hear anything! There on 21 and its smooth as butter
[Vibrant General] nasgadth:
great news! BTW can the newest cm7 play .avi and .wma?
[Vibrant General] JettyLife:
I used bionix 1.3.1 for a while it was pretty stable. Maybe try a different kernel? Tigers blood 3.22 was pretty sweet, also Bali 1.8.6 is cool if you don't want to OC

Vibrant - Project V, Bali 1.8.6UV
[Vibrant General] ZeroIsntTheHero:
As to the battery life, it tends to suck after the initial flash and charge while the phone is building the batterystats. I personally wouldn't say Trigger is any more stable than Bionix. 1.3.1 is an extremely solid Rom. It doesn't have as many little bells and whistles as Trigger and BiWinning, but I personally think that makes for a more stable Rom.

Did you odin to stock prior to installing 1.3.1? I don't know what you were on previously, but you could have some ghosts lingering in your system.

So, been wanting to make a dock for my tab for some time, however due to my injuries in both my arms, it gets to be hard to get in the shop.

So, anyway made a prototype solid wood dock. Ive made docks for other devices, never for a tablet. I think it works, small footprint, etc.

Tell me what you think. Oh, I already started re-sawing some logs to make a few more.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] DarkPal:
Those look awesome my friend. Well I have some free time on my hands. Any simple noob how to instructions, what tools to use? Where to find materials? Etc.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] GldRush98:
Heh, that's pretty nice looking. Different from most other docks. I dig it :)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] oldmacnut:
Tool list

Jointer

Planer

Table saw

Band saw, then upgrade with riser kit and resaw blades

Belt sander

Drill press

Router. Easier if you have the router in a table

Then, the wood.

I buy my wood in log form, then resaw it into any size I need.

Then Joint them, then if needed resaw into smaller material depending on the project or the need.

This is a before then after

Then I resawed into smaller planks for making the docks

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] oldmacnut:
Then joint the plank, then run it through the planer for final thickness, and you have an oversized piece for the back.

Then I used small stock I had for the walnut parts. I have a large collection of exotic wood stored all over the shop, in whatever crevice I can put it.

This prototype was not planned, I wasted a lot of walnut trying to work out a fit, etc. Next one I make will have a solid base instead of multiple pieces.

Yeah, ill make a few and sell them, once I ironed out any bugs and am able to make measurements and plans.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] junjlo:
beautiful man GJ!!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] oldmacnut:
I made 4 custom one off docks this week, just finished them, these are unique to each other, use very rare and exotic woods, numbered, and a one time thing. I will not make anymore after this, just because it is a painful process with the I juries to my hands/arms.

Anyway, look for a new thread most likely tomorrow with pics and details.

Hi!

I'm going to flash my green lens defy for the first time, but I've some newbie doubts.

I'm having some problems sending SMS, people receiving them get only a few words of it and battery drains quickly, that's why i'm flashing.

I don't use the defy for playing or multimedia, only phone stuff, camera and gps.

Wich ROM do you recommend me? I'm looking specially for battery life and stability.

Any tutorial on how to install it?

Thanks!
[Defy General] memz180:
Plenty of rooms and tutorials I was on sea15 froyo that was pretty stable everything worked but recently I'm running cm7 rc0 which I find 10 times better than sea15

Search the forum for Nordic and cm7 rc0 heaps of Info that will help you decide
[Defy General] rachit2588:
yes you can try cm7 and various other things....but in the end you will be back on stock...till some proper final version of cm7 is released :p
[Defy General] ankit_harry1992:
@rachit

but why are u saying that we wud hve to revert to official??

I was looking to flash the current version of cm7 rc0 as it has only BT+FM problem no other noticeable bug,isn't it?? And btw, how is the battery life in cm7?;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slightly.stoopid:
So lemme say first i can over from an HTC and love the way this baby works. i was very active in my HTC and flashed and did a lot of stuff to it, also doing a lot to my brother and sisters phones to. Evo and Captivate. my brothers evo like my HTC wasnt that bad at flashing could just download and go. I had so many problems with getting odin or one click to read my phone i was so upset cause i couldnt get to flashing. WELL now my comp is a champ and working like a charm, my phone on the other hand :( not so well. I once got SRF 1.0.1 to flash but it was real buggy on me, force closes, browser was screwy. Also Odin flashed SwissCheese but was slow. The reason i Odin flashed it is because no matter what rom i try and flash i get stuck on the samsung screen. even SFR 1.0.1 does it too. I have looked all over for the answer and nothing. I know what i am doing when it comes to these androids and am very good at figuring out the solution, but i am stuck. I am 100% sure i have done everything step by step per the devoloper.... just saying, anyone have a clue? think it could be my phone?:confused:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
Odin back to stock. I have a video made, click the link in my signature.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
2 things, first coming from stock EC05 is screwy to begin with and it is best to do all the wipes. It would be much better to either Odin in an EC05 or EB13 prerooted. Then when you pick a ROM is it EXT4 or RFS? If you pick an EXT4 ROM make sure you have converted to EXT4 somehow first unless the ROM says it will convert it for you. If you try to flash an EXT4 ROM on an RFS system without converting, you will get stuck at the SAMSUNG screen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slightly.stoopid:
Okay well here's a little update... I have tried using 3.0.2.5 many times in the past with the same results. Stuck at samsung screen!! I have made sure to use the flashable rfstoext4 before flashing a ext4 rom, even tho SRF converts for you. I feel like a baffled idiot on this because I have done this so many times on other phones and am very quick to figure out a solution if needed... BUT I AM LOOOOOST :( I did see a few good suggestions I am gonna try... I am gonna odin a prerooted rom and see.

For ****s and giggles I tried to flash the ONE rom that did work for me SRF 1.0.1 and it worked! But very buggy still. Even a fresh dwnload of he rom will not work as it didn't before. Just the one file I downloaded before as its been the only one that worked. Also I tried to flash SRF 1.2 on top of it and still stuck at the samsung screen.

I am confused as to what is going on. I have tried many different things and to no prevail. I even started to think maybe it is the stock rom I am odin'in to but even flashing over the SRF I had the same outcome....

You think it could possibly be a phone problem?!?!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B4LLS4GN4:
I flashed an EXT4 rom without converting. What can I do to fix this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you try to restore a nand backup of your last working configuration? You can install an RFS ROM like RFSplus or one of the Gingerbread leaks. Pull your sd card out and put it into a computer to download and copy an RFS ROM onto it and put it back into the phone and flash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wesc011:
OK so something broke with the mini USB connector on my Inspire and I can't get a connection to the power outlet or computer anymore. I figured I would send in my phone to get a warranty exchange but I have Android Revolution right now and since a rooted phone is out of warranty I am going to get smacked with a fee. Is there any possible way to reset the phone or flash back to stock without a USB connection? Should I just let the battery die before I send it back so they can't charge it and see that its rooted? Help!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bradbetheman:
I'm kind of in the same boat as you, today i dropped my phone out of a truck and now the speaker sounds like it's through a McDonalds speaker box. I need to restore to factory but i have Coredroid 6.7 and with that came with EXT4 i was wondering how to get it back to EXT3 or if it was necessary and is there any tools besides ACE to restore it? Im not having alot of luck with ACE and afraid to press the stock rom without going back to EXT3. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] 1.18.12:
Find a way to get your SD card in a media slot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
Unrooting will be pretty easy. Just get a micro sd adapter and mount the SD on your pc. The copy the pd*.img rom to the root of the card. Then put the card back in the phone and boot in to Hboot and install the ROM.

FIRST, though you need to get S-OFF. That will be more tricky. You'll need to copy some files from the hack kit to your SD card and run some commands from the terminal window on the device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wesc011:
What do I do after that? Format the SD Card? Won't they still be able to tell I have a custom rom flashed?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
See my post. That is what he was getting at...
[HTC Inspire 4G] wesc011:
Where do I find which commands to run in order to get S-OFF? I only have like 50% left on my battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 1.18.12:
I would suggest you turn off anything not absolutely needed. Maybe even airplane mode I'f you can go without a phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wesc011:
i've done that, but i still need to know how to flash back to stock and get S-ON before it runs out
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
You can get to stock through hboot and flashing the Stock RUU.

I'm just not sure how you can get S-On without ADB. Unless there's some way to run the commands through the Terminal on your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyguy:
There are other options especially since most ATT stores wont check and have no idea:

Flash the rooted or unrooted stock ROM without the sideloading option that the look and feel appears stock and walk to the store.

Get wife and/or girlfriend out of the house, remove battery, battery and lower cover and treat the phone with 10 sec microwave (I never said this)....

99% chance that it is bricked.

Both is fraudulent reg. warranty claims (as is rooting) but I guess we all know this.*

*That's just the legal sticker - LOL
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bradbetheman:
The microwave thing isn't a bad idea... but main questions is do i need to go back to EXT3 for Stock RUU?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Re-installing the stock RUU will replace the EXT4 with the original image so it won't matter. The RUU replaces just about every partition on the phone. The only thing you have to worry about is the S-OFF which you can disable, but they likely won't even notice--especially if they can't boot it anyway because the battery is dead.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
@ the dead battery comments, why on earth wouldn't they put a battery w/ some juice in it to check the phone? That would the first thing I did.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wesc011:
ok..so I called AT&T and told them that something broke inside the USB connector on the phone (probably stupid) and tried to get a warranty exchange, and they said it was physical damage to the phone so I am not eligible for a replacement.

my question is this...if I pull the whole microwave thing and take it into the ATT store, will there be a note or something on my account saying that I had already called and told them something was broken?

i just find it absolutely ridiculous that although there is no water/physical damage to the phone, they can tell me i damaged the phone and now I'm screwed after only having it for 2 months...
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyguy:
ATT does keep phone logs but I have NO idea if they show up on your account if they pull it up on the screen in the store.

Anybody from ATT here?

I'd brick it and just walk in.

[HTC Inspire 4G] lostarchon:
As a guy who has worked with AT&T Warranty exchange, I will tell you right now: Physical damage, as per dropping the phone, isn't covered by warranty. If the people at the factory see any damage inside the phone, they'll still charge you for it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lostarchon:
Yes, they keep a log of that, actually, it's stored in the system: Your name, last 4 of the social and the written log file. Basic keywords on there is "Damaged port/prongs". Damage to the port is considered as physical damage and isn't covered. Did you pay for the 4.99 insurance? That might cover it, and you'll be routed to the insurance company Asurion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
You may want to try HTC directly. They may well repair it for you for free. I think they are more customer service oriented than ATT... The downside is you'd be without a phone for a while.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftj3kf3:
Iam from Germany and iam using the german Kies! But i have installed trough spooffw and UK Version of GIngerbread 2.3.3 because in Germany the GIngerbread Update trough Kies wsa not available. But today it started i saw in the internet. So i need to get back to Stock german Froyo so that the german Kies indentify it and update it but which is this stock german Froyo 2.2 Rom?

Thank your very much for you considerations

Rooting Gingerbread on my SGS

Hello folks,

first of all I really appreciate the work you put in here to satisfy the community with all the helpful apps and stuff. TY!

Well, it came to the point that I used Kies to update my Germanish SGS i9000 (O²) and the only thing I miss now is the root access to get rid of some really unwanted and memory eating apps.

I used SuperOneClick on Froyo and earlier versions which worked great but seems this is not working on 2.3.3 anymore. Well, I was reading the guide on how to install this CF Kernel but I got scared because others seems to have some reboot issues after doing so. I have to admit that I really don't have much clue about all the Odin pushes and Kernel stuff, and the more I try to understand, the more I get confused (I might blame it only on my age tho^^).

Is there anyone out here that could just guide me to the right CF download for my SGS? That would really help me alot.

Another question would be, after changing the Kernel, can this mess up upgrading to a newer firmware in the future? Do I have to install the original kernel before?

Model: GT-I9000

Firmware: 2.3.3

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftj3kf3:
I downloaded an Eclair Rom from Samfirmware.com but i cant flash it on my sgs i9000 so i decided to flash an Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVO from samfirmware. IS that an official Gingerbread or an customized?

If you want to root under Gingerbread you need to flash another Kernel e.g from Supercurio. Get ODin 1.3 and search in development section for an Kernel and flash it then you ahev superuser rights ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
HC 3.x only supports MP4 natively. Given Samsung's strong multimedia support for its GalTab7 and GalPlayer, I'm curious if it has also added enhanced multimedia support (specifically MKV support) to the 10.1. How about AC3/DTS? Can any owner give an answer? TIA.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] solidunit:
nope. had to install moboplayer. even then, 720p still kinda chugged. I can't find an app that has hardware accelerated playback.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bamboo12:
that's probably because one doesn't exist
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
I do not own any Android device... (so no access to those apps) but maybe it would be possible for you guys to actually write to people/companies behind all those players and ask them - what is the situation with this thing. Mkv/ High Profile Videos/ Tegra 2/ Honeycomb and hardware acceleration...

Do they work on it?

If not - why?

Can it be done?

And so on...

Maybe they (developers of this software) would be able to clarify situation with video playback and what can we expect in coming weeks/months.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t3ch7:
It's a known fact that base Android does not support MKV (video players on the market address this fine for the most part, like Moboplayer) and Tegra 2 cannot hardware accelerate any high profile encoded h264 videos (either in the mp4 or mkv container) - unfortunately there is no way around that as it is a hardware limitation - stupid Nvidia.

Sucks that Samsung joined the Tegra 2 bandwagon for the Gtab 10.1. The original Gtab has better multimedia capabilities than the thanks to the Hummingbird SoC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
100% true if it only would be 10" not 7" I'd buy it today.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Digital Man:
Problem with the Galaxy Tab 7 is that, even though it can play 720p MKV's perfectly, its only useful for TV shows. The 4GB file limit applies, and most full length movies will run 5 to 6 GB. I got around this by splitting the files but that's a pain for most people.

The XOOM doesn't have a 4GB limit on its internal storage, but I hear people claiming that the Galaxy tab 10.1 does have a 4GB limit (I kind of doubt this).

But if that were true, then even if the Galaxy tab 10.1 could play everything, a 4GB limit would prevent you from watching many downloaded full length movies. For that matter, if a 4GB file size limit is present, then even transcoded movies could be a problem - would force you to limit quality, bit rate etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Perhaps - dont know anything about it as with 7" screen it is to small (and uninteresting) for me.

Nevertheless I would expect it's younger brother to take all good stuff out of it and more goodies, etc..

For new 10.1 to be worse in stuff like than original GT is not even funny.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Digital Man:
Was looking forward to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a long time. Was 100% certain it was my next tablet. Was the primary reason I held off so long on buying a XOOM. Only reason I bought the XOOM was because it was taking Samsung so long to get the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to market.

Figured I would finally have a tablet that would play videos AND do everthing else. I really liked the Tab 7 and thought the 10.1 would be a big improvement. Was rumored to have Exynos and would play everything. But when I heard it had a Tegra 2, I was really disappointed. I already have a XOOM, and see little point in buying another Tegra 2 device. They are all just basically clones of each other - same basic capabilities, with small differences here and there.

However, if I did not have another Tegra 2 based device, then the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is probably the best you can get at this time (small form factor and good screen) and would buy it without hesitation. Only other option is to wait for Kal El - Tegra 3, and hope NVIDIA doesn't screw that up as well.

Think how insanely funny that would be - a quad core powered tablet that can't play videos!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
True indeed.

But what is very surprising for me is that all those big and small websites do keep very quiet about this issue. 99% of people I talk to are looking at me as a crazy person - how come??? It says in the ads it plays 1080p.! You must be wrong, etc.

I do think that ads are a bit false and that issue is BIG considering that cheaper tablets of previous generation had none of this problems for half of the price.

Short movie? Long movie? Mini clips?

....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Than fair thin to do would be to put a "*" there and mention conditions.

You know what I am talking about.

iPad and Apple does not advertise stuff they do not do at home - and average Joe is happy.

Now, Mr Joe goes to the shop (he saw all those ads) he buys Xoom or any other Android tablet. Gets home and what? He says never again - they promised and not delivered, Android and (insert manufacturer name here) are sh..t.

I talk about ppl. who do not read to much, do not visit XDA... Apple-like users who android tablets manufacturers want to steal from apple.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Apple is even worse, they advertise "HD movie" :)

http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/videos.html

And the screen is not even 720p !

Oh and there is that iTunes which safeguards that Mr. Joe. He will say "My iPad can play all kind of video files, it's magical ..."

So, I believe, Android might not be for Mr. Joe ... That Mr. Joe :P

Because That Mr. Joe won't download movies via torrents or P2P, he will buy from iTunes hehehe ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
We've gone over this before. iPad2 can play HD movies downloaded from torrenting, in high profile 720p and MKV containter, with app store players like AVPlayerHD that doesn't need iTunes to transfer files. It's just that the screen isn't 1280x720, but it can indeed play the content and much better than any Tegra 2 tablet. I'm not a fanboy. I'm just pointing out facts when I had the Transformer and iPad 2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
You are wrong here. Many ppl. who do not know much about computers do not like apple.

Android tablets are cheaper and advertised.

All of my friends in UK who were unable to install Windows by themselves had no problems with downloads from the likes of rapidhshare...

And now most of the stuff published and downloaded are BR rips - 720p High Profile.

I could understand why Sony would be more than happy if their tablet would not support videos of that kind but Samsung...?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Yes, thats true. My point was exactly like that. IPad screen is not for HD, its a waste. And who knows, probably blitzing bitmap into that smaller resolution helps the performance.

Also Android still does not have decent MKV player. I am betting on CoreCodec t release their CorePlayer. That certainly will help MKV scene on Android.
