given up is the correct word...

next phone won't be samsung either way =) just to bother them! :p
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
Can you relate to edge problem to?
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
Seems there is no Omnia 7 uers left =(
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
Yes I have the mute call issue, but as far as I can tell, my Carrier does not use EDGE.

When the mute call occurs I see the phone rapidly trying to change networks, and ultimately if it settles on G there are no more mutes in that call. If it goes back to 3G it happens again. During that time the phone loses the signal completely, then jumps back to full once the switch is complete.
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
Darn, that could mean the end of my theory. Make sure your 100% sure.

Now, with so little going on, i thought people would love a poll to klick on =P
[Omnia 7 General] Phyx:
As far as I could find out, My carrier had a test rollout of EDGE in one city, but didn't continue with it. So, no, no EDGE atleast not in the areas I go to.
[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
I'm in Austria, Provider is A1 and it uses EDGE

Fixed my problem by locking the phone to 3G network

Downside is that I have no signal in an area where 3G coverage is poor...

(so I've to switch back to automatic mode sometimes)...

man, this sucks really bad...
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
Given up describes it best, so many critical bugs (not only the call issue), never ever Samsung again, its a brick with a great screen. How come early reviews didnt report any of these flaws...

I locked the Phone to 3G and still experience silence during calls and creepy modem sounds. Phone tries to switch 3g on and off and eventually loses signal altogether. Last time I could not end the call after it went silent, windows just froze saying "ending call.....".

Usually doesnt happen in areas with really good coverage like cities, but rural areas make it unusable.
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
You used Cheveron? I have the call issue bug. Sometimes it happens and sometimes its like there no problem. Its like some days is a bad day and other a good day.

I know for a fact that all carriers in Sweden have no problems exept 1. And since the phone is otherwise the best, im soon changing carrier ... cant wait.
[Omnia 7 General] akuysetiawan:
I bought my omnia about 5 months ago from ebay and I face this mute problem since, I was living in Oman when I bought this and now I am living in Indonesia and still facing the same problem even if I used another carrier SIM card.

Actually in my case this problem start only when I received a call and I start can hear the caller voice exactly after 12 seconds of connection and after that call, the mute problem happen for all incoming and outgoing call and I need to restart the phone if I want to make outgoing call without mute problem.

Are you guys having the same symtomp and situation?

fyi all carriers in oman and indonesia has both edge and 3G mode, but locking the phone to 3G didn't solve the problem in my case.
[Omnia 7 General] Kostija:
yep pretty much the same, you need to restart it in order to place a call again. That however doesnt guarantee that it wont bug again in a couple of minutes. Its very sensitive to signal strength, hence it happens very irregularly, nevertheless its not an operator issue.

Its maybe more pronounced on some networks since coverage varies.

Locking to edge definitely wont fix it, since it will bug on 3g / 3g+ switching still. It is a Samsung radio issue, its time they finally take credit for their flaws...the hard way.
[Omnia 7 General] VoltageMX:
Some more info from me. My theory is that this is not a Samsung-operator problem but only samsung problem. Because I have also tried my phone with a diferent SIM and i had the same problems, mute/modem calls, a little less but nonetheless. So this I think is totaly a Samsung f*** up. I you can excange your phone for a nother in the price range. The HTC sensation seems good but I know it's android but hey better android then a phone that even can't handle calls. I myself am in talks with my operator to change the Omnia for the sensation because they can not fix the problem. I also got we never heard of this before and then I recorded a video of the phone making the modem sounds (the video is on the forum) and presented it to them and said that they fix this or another phone, and now they I think will never know how to fix it so I will probably get a new phone (the sensation). Cheers.
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
That its Samsungs fault is there no question about. But i just wanted to se if Edge could be a problem, as it seems to be in Sweden at least. And help folks at, for now, choose a diff carrier that might work better = we are all sleeping soundly. Omnia 7 is the best phone out there atm according to me. But thiss connection/ mute call is really destroying one of the best phones atm. :'(
[Omnia 7 General] akuysetiawan:
@voltageMX, lucky you but I think you're going to miss samoled display since Sensation only have SLCD display but at least you'll have a phone that working as a phone.

Too bad I bought my omnia from ebay...so I can't ask for replacement from the seller.

my only hope is mango update will cure the problem...
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
When call issue occurs i usally turns phone off, remove battery a short short while and start it up. I have noticed this have a lottery effect, i can go some day without the issue, only to se it return again, but as a temp fix it ...is better then nothing =/

Now is there any others that called Samsung in there country recently? In Sweden we got a radio Firmware you can get...by sending in your phonE!!!

But it seems to do the jobb. Internet have been reported faster also. We had users signing up and talking directly to Samsung to aid them in there search for the problem. And finally we got it. Waiting for my phone to return so ill report back about firmware version etc.

So, anybody recently talked to Samsung?
[Omnia 7 General] UranusHertz:
Hi,

I'm from Malaysia and I used to have the 2 seconds mute when I was on a 2G network. After that I switch to an operator which only has 3G (domestic roaming for 2G) and I don't face that issue anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] DJViking:
I'm new to Android and have a few question that didn't get answered by trying to Google it. I have bought my first Android phone (A Samsung Galaxy S2, after years of being a Symbian fanboy), but have not received it yet.

1. Does everything run on top of Dalvik JVM? At the bottom is the Linux kernel. Then there is a Linux process which runs Dalvik VM. Could for instance Sun's JVM run on a Linux process of its own or another Linux application?

2. Can C/C++ Linux program run on Android? Though compiled for ARM. Android has NDK (Native Development Kit) which allows it to run C/C++ applications inside Android applications, but I'm wondering about running C/C++ applications directly on Android. BusyBox is coded in C, but runs on Android. Is it running directly on the kernel's linux process or within an Android application on Dalvik?

3. The latter(Q2) would indicate that not everything run on top of Dalvik. Otherwise C/C++ programs would not run.

4. Android uses ADB (Android Debug Bridge) for its CLI magic. BusyBox uses Ash. Can one install bash as the default shell, with full GNU Core Utilities commands? Some forum posts indicate that it is possible to install an ARM re-compiled bash version.

5. Android can be rooted by installing applications like Super User or BusyBox that would let the user execute applications as root. That would indicate that there exist a root user, in addition to the actual user. Is this similar to how it is on Linux? Can I define a password for the root user so that no applications can run root directly?

Edit: Seems each application is a different user on the system.

6. Are all user data stored in the database SQLite that are stored on the phone? User data is accessible through different applications, but how does Android determine access rights to it?

7. I have read that Android applications run on their own Linux process and are assigned a unique user ID. Does this mean that we can run ps to see all running processes or does it act like the Sun JVM just showing each VM process? However looks like different applications can run in the same process. Can these be distinguished or do we just the the once process.

8, Is the camera application (that some have made modifications of) a Google app or Samsung app? Just wondering since the former would allow such modified versions to run on other than Samsung phones, but given that different phones have different camera specs I don't see how this could go well.

9. Can the codes typed in the dialer be executed through a shell instead (adb)?

10. Can I get an overview of permissions given to applications? Can they be revoked after once granted?
[General Questions and Answers] spykid9x:
i have question,too.thanks
[General Questions and Answers] linuxmotion:
Ill Be back with most of your answers. Im on my phone. Ill be at a comp in few.
[General Questions and Answers] DJViking:
I'm also wondering about how the methods of rooting works.

Some offers rooting by means of a modified kernel.

Another method entails using programs like SuperOneClick or GingerBreak.

Can anyone describe to me what exactly does these methods do?

In order to have root I guess the user root needs to be created/activated/enabled on the phone. Also programs like su and Superuser needs to be installed, perhaps with Busybox.

Those are the methods for root, but I want to know what needs to be done on the phone in order to root it.

Can I root my device (Samsung Galaxy S2) manually without any modified kernels or special programs?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
You can see the permissions an app has through Settings->Apps->Manage Apps i think. There are also apps on the market summarising that.

Revoking or granting only certain permissions is not available natively.

I believe they are working on that in cyanogenmod.

Revoking a needed permission will usually make the app in question crash.

If you have a samsung device, the camera app will be from samsung.

It is not impossible to have the google camera app running on your device, it might need some tinkering though (see cyanogenmod).

Yes you can, here is the about from running "ps" on my i9000 : http://pastie.org/2089555

Only apps from the same developer ( meaning signed with the same signature), can be run in the same process. This is not default and only happens when the developer requests it. This is not very common.

Through the android permission system.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"></uses-permission>

will be needed to read and write from/to the sms database.

Hi Nixeus,

this all is done once before here on xda. But you have to know it, otherwise you will not find it.

Link 1 - HDwall 0.29 original thread -> maranell0

Link 2 - HDwall for VGA -> mwalt2

Link 3 - background for all tabs (bg4all) -> cookiemonster our good old and missing friend :(

Hope that helps you out...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:
Hello and thanks for your answer.

I don't agree because HDWALL use a software in order to create a png in a manila file, it's note the same method....

Instead of displaying the homebackground.img on the home, you need to choose the png in hdwall, and after hdwall insert this png in a manila file, it's note the same method and it don't function good on the latest version of manila.

That's why we need to create a good hack.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
You are right, it is not the same way. It was only an idea, because on my latest ASIA Rom V2.5 WWE Full from Laurentius26 the HDwall system is working perfect without any issue. Also the wallpaper changing with the cab files and the change tool from HD wall is working. We had add this function in CHT, but in the mean time i am working on different roms, so i don't used CHT the last 4 weeks. Badly but true ;). Otherwise we have to search further in that case. I will read again you 1st posting...

Hi all

I have been using froyo in my G3 (JPM version) with no problem. I installed go launcher ex and it worked perfect. But once i moved google maps into the main desk, and i used gps to get my ubication the mobile started to do strange things.

Google maps crash all the time, and then other applications start crashing as well.

I rebooted my mobile but while it was starting, google apps start crashing like calendar or gmail. I unistalled "go launcher ex" and i thought the problem was solved... but yesterday i got the same problem... Sometimes i can start the apps but suddently all apps start crashing and i cannot open any of them so i need to reboot the mobile again.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3ck4rd:
Ive got my phone into a boot loop state because I messed up when trying to restore a previous backup of CM7 that I had.

Okay I thought, this is not a problem I will just do a clean flash of something via odin with my phone in download mode. This is where the problem lays. Odin can not see my phone when its in download mode and plugged in via USB! I have flash roms via Odin before so know what I'm doing.

I've tried it on 2 windows 7 64bit laptops and different USB ports but both are the same! could this be a driver issue? I have Kies installed on both and have manually tried installing the driver too.

Other things to note is that I can't get into recovery mode but no problem getting into download. Also when I plug the phone into charge it doesnt come up with the battery symbol but only the circle of rectangles like it is loading the battery symbol which never appears.

Anyone know what is going on?

If you are CM7, you may need Nexus S Drivers.

Download and extract to folder.

When phone connected, locate it in your computers devive manager and update driver and point to your folder where you extracted for installation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3ck4rd:
Thanks spaikas!

I guess I will have to go out and buy a new cable to try that. One thing though is that even when I plug it into the mains power adaptor I still get the circle of rectangles as well as when its plugged into my PC (with the supposedly defective cable). So does this suggest that the circle of rectangles is not caused by a bad cable? but still my cable being bad could be a culprit for odin not seeing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3ck4rd:
Thanks. I have downloaded and extracted the driver. But I can't find my phone in device manager. Does the phone have to be in download mode for windows to be able to see it. Do you know roughly what it would be called?

Is there a way to unpack the file and re-pack it into a boot.img file? Also, this project is secret, but don't know if it will work or not :)

Now im looking for a used phone on ebay basically, budget is max 250-300, the samsung vibrant looked good, but im affraid if i buy it ill be stuck on froyo or gingerbread, and not be able to update to android ice cream end of the year (while im sure the HD2 would be hacked to ice cream immedietly lol)
