I'm not sure either, I reverted to 2.51 and did the update form that point.

Anyone installed CM over 3.4.2_177-3?

Olly
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
Thanks for that. I can actually reconfirm the issue. Last night when I was setting my alarm, with no lights in the room, I noticed once again the capacitive buttons' led were off. I was helding the phone in portrait and I know for sure this problem wasn't there in 2.1 because I always set my alarm after I turn the lights off (Bedroom's). When I press the Home Key to come out of the Alarm app the capacitive buttons lit up again.
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
If the msu is compiled by Motorola then I'm sure you won't be able to upgrade. The .msu can contain many other smaller installers that can do all the checking, exactly the way the update program does. Your only solutuion is to revert back to Motorola's stock ROM and give it a try.
[Defy General] rogier666:
Two more very annoying Defy/Froyo issues:

1) You can't disable the lockscreen anymore, so prepare for a lot of annoying swiping. Yes, you can get rid of the slider with an app called "No Lock," but this will also disable your security lock (pin code or pattern) which leaves your phone wide open.

2) The new gallery has more eye candy but less functionality, and it got slower too. If you open the folder list you can't read long folder names anymore. Is there is a way to run the old 2.1 gallery on Froyo?
[Defy General] ollyshaw:
I found the gallery the worst bit. So poor, I can't believe they let it go out like that. Runs like a dog.

I feel embarrassed for Motorola. Or I would if they were not working hard every day making their great hardware under-perform!

Seriously what a phone once CM is on it!

[Defy General] MrBelter:
Use quickpic off the market, best gallery around
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
As far as I'm concerned Motorola has degraded the phone and I'm not too sure if that is legal or not. I'm referring to the apps Motorola developed such as the video player and the gallery that you pointed out, not the Android itself. The additional Task Manager that was shipped with 2.1 in US is a welcome.

I have found my defy is performing slower, unless those claim Defy performs better with Android 2.2 has some settings that I don't. I ended up installing SetVSel to speed thigns up. It seems to me I'm getting 1/4 less juice out of my battery. I can reconfirm it once I play music on it for a couple of hours.

Not wanting to sound negative all the time, here are some positive things I found so far. I'm very happy with this update because now I got all my emails working on my handset which was important to me which missed the feature for the past 6 months. The browser appears to work very smoothly in most cases. I haven't used the Tasks app yet but that is another welcome addition as I always have a need for such features on portable devices. Other positive things about Android is to thank google not Motorola anyway. The slightly improved dialer worth just mentioning about it.

If Motorola refuses to give us Gingerbread then I hope they provide an update to fix some minor issues that either annoying or impacting the user experience soon enough.
[Defy General] lotfib:
I gotta say I'm pretty surprised about all the issues people are facing with the Froyo update everywhere. I had the french update installed which was one of the first available in Europe before moving on to the leaked 2.3.3 and it was smoother than ever. No bug at all except for the space touch getting a bit crazy while typing a text a few times. I didn't have many applications installed. A few people mentioned the update's fine as long as you don't have much installed on the phone but it starts getting extremely laggy when you keep installing more and more applications. After a factory reset there shouldn't be any lags though !
[Defy General] rogier666:
QuickPic would be the best gallery app if it would let us change the grid size (the thumbnail previews are too big now) and if it had "all photos" and "all videos" views. Unfortunately QuickPic only does folders.
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
Thank you for your post. In my experience there was a noticeable performance difference between 2.1 and 2.2.2 before a single application was installed. One theory to why some people are happy with the performance and others are not could be down to different components used in Defy. No one knows for sure if all Defy around the globe use exactly the same components or not. As you pointed out installing apps appears to effect the performance so we can conclude those that are not experiencing performance decrease are not power users.
[Defy General] MrBelter:
I am confused, all my photos and videos are in folders anyway and all the previews load like lightning so i fail to to see the problem, it is better than any default gallery whichever way you look at it.

Anyway only issue i can find with the retail 2.2 is how low highest screen brightness setting seems to be, the display is really hard to read outside now.
[Defy General] rogier666:
If you have a hundred pictures scattered over ten folders, would you want to tap into those folders one by one to browse all your photos?

Just like there's a unified inbox for mails from many accounts so you don't have to jump from one mailbox to the next, the stock gallery has a unified pictures view (all pictures in one grid) for all your folders.

If you want to swipe through lots of pictures from a bunch of different folders, having them all in one grid beats having to open all the different folders one by one.

If QuickPic would have the same unified picture view and custom picture grid sizes I would throw the stock gallery out. While QuickPic is working on it (are they?) I'll keep both apps.
[Defy General] CSharpHeaven:
The problem with the capacitive buttons that not lighting up is worse than I thought. It happens all the time, it doesn't light up and the only way to make it to work, when it gets really bad, by locking the phone (power switch) and unlocking it again.

The battery life noticeably shortened after the update. What I have done today was to completely discharge the battery to the point it doesn't turn on. Recharged it fully again without turning it on and from the wall socket. I'll report back if there was any improvements on Monday.

I also uninstalled VSel and set it to default CPU speed again. Despite of freezing so many apps and services the start up is really slow and I really feel the lag with the phone.
[Defy General] rogier666:
Another Defy/Froyo bug:

Dial *#*#4636#*#* to get into a service menu. From there battery_history/network_usage would tell you network traffic per app since last boot/unplugged/all time.

In Eclair all data was counted. In Froyo it usually doesn't count anything.

Quick question:

Has someone registered or tested the SamungDive service on www.samsungdive.com? It looks to offer same services as other apps, but for free to track you phone and to wipe it out, even if a new SIM card is put in the handset. Looks interesting to me!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
Mee..

Yea..I checked...its fairly easy to use...you have to register for a samsung account first.. For me it showed my phone location approximately and it has the ability to scream your phone like lookout ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cotec:
Totaly agree, very easy to use. Location service did not show my location.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddybear2:
I have/ had (my phone is for repair) lookout installed, they offer the same service for $ 30 p.a. and at Samsung it is for free. That is great and good news!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
Not that it will make the blindest bit of difference but I just blew off some steam at Asus support via email. Basically I mentioned the problem with the left speaker volume and how it is a simple fix. All I got back was that I should RMA it. Fat lot of good that will do if the config is exactly the same when it comes back. I post this for your entertainment only :)

Dear Asus support team.

I am saddened by your response to my issues. I am trying to give valued feedback on your product in the hope you will fix various problems with your device.

Or is it just 'easier' for you to simply fob me off with an RMA? I do not feel there is any need for an RMA (yet). If you had bothered to read the thread link I supplied you will have seen that the issue with the audio is a simple one to fix and requires a simple update pushed to all TF users. There is a typo in your audio configuration file. It's a simple ADB push through the Android development software to rectify (I could do it myself if I rooted my TF). It's such a simple thing for Asus to push an update to fix. Is it such a hard thing to pass this information along to your development team?

Anyhow. There is another problem and it's not just me. Forget the audio problem and forget any light bleed I can live with that as I don't see it in dim settings using auto brightness.

There is a BIG issue with playback of video on TF's. Any video with audio muxed causes juddering of the video. If there is no audio present in the container - MKV, MP4 or AVI it does not matter which - then video playback is silky smooth. Add in any audio though and there is a juddering effect every quarter of a second. It has been confirmed with other users. Although some people find it hard to spot. I direct you to a Youtube video I made demonstrating this below. Yes I have Honeycomb 3.1 and all the latest firmware updates. No it has nothing to do with the video type/encoding, framerate or container. I have tried lots of different video samples from various places and they all exhibit the same problem. I also direct you to the XDA developers forum below the video clip where it is being discussed at length and confirmed by other TF101 customers. Now PLEASE can you pass this information on to your development team! Or do Asus really not give a damn about their customers anymore? I'd hate to make a big fuss publicly about this.

Sorry to be so abrupt, but I feel Asus are not really interested or listening to their customers and instead just wish to silence the occasional 'troublemaker' with an RMA instead. I certainly do not wish to start writing hard copy letters to CEO's at the moment.

So please let's try this again shall we?

Well said and I don't think you were being abrupt, but frustrated-rightly so.

And with a lot of detail and explaination for them to take notice and followup. Which I hope they do.

Glad you wrote them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
BTW I know what it's like working on support. I worked for ICL for a couple of years on phone support for various clients. Everybody is on time constraints and everybody wants an easy life obviously. Nobody likes a moaning customer and especially a smart ass. But what can you do if you are on the other end of the phone?

I've had to bypass support entirely a few times. Usually a hard copy sent by snail mail to their CEO marked private and confidential is enough to get things moving. I was on friendly email terms with the CEO of BT (Probably his secratary but hey) once. But I always give support a chance. ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] effwun:
I had an issue with my Transformer when I first got it...and I'm one of the people who ordered it from Newegg before it actually went on sale anywhere, so I had it the day it was released. Anyways, there was a known batch of bad chargers, I apparently had one of them. After two weeks of dealing with Asus' completely inept customer "service", I sent a email through their website about, and that was the only thing that got a response from them. Their service is the absolute worst...and after three weeks of not having a charger, they RMA'ed my entire Transformer because they didn't have any replacement cables to send me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tutti-frutti:
If the speaker problem is a software issue (I know about the extra 0), why was (rma'ed last week) the difference between the speaker significantly clearer on my TF than a friend's TF?

Because of this, I think there is still a hw issue with the (left) speaker of many TFs. In that case, RMA is the way to go.

If the 'removed 0'-fix made your speakers completely balanced (without boosting any other settings), then it might be a sw issue, and maybe my TF has a less-common real hw speaker problem :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] S4F4M:
I don't follow the sound thread, so is this 100% true with those who have RMA'd their TF due to sound issues and received a fixed one? Do the fixed RMA'd TF's not have the typo in the audio config file?

If the typo still exists, then maybe the issue could be hardware.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
I wrote a reply on your video link there. Can we have a version where you are silent? LOL!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
No. :)

Anyhow yes the updated config file does fix the audio balance (for me at least).
[Galaxy S II General] Alekxxx:
I have bought my sgs2 from samsung Romania. They say if i flash any other firmware beside the official one for Romania via Kies, i lose the warranty.

I can hardly help it to stay stock:|. I am looking to root, flash updates, customs roms.

My question is: Can i revert to the stock official XWKE2, unroot, etc just as out of the box, so that the phone can appear untweaked and have the warranty again ? Is there a way the guys at the service find out that the phone was flashed?

Thanks in advance for your answers!
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Yes if you have a copy of the original .

[Galaxy S II General] Alekxxx:
how do i find a copy? from where can i download ?

on xda? i'll try a search
[Galaxy S II General] kaukassus:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm

oh and btw,

if you flash a custom binary, it voids your warranty, even if you flash back to stock.

everytime you flash a custom binary, it notes how many times you flashed a custom binary.

if you would send your device back to your carrier, they can easily check if there was a custom binary flashed on your phone.

I would suggest, that you get an USB jig off ebay or somewhere else. with it, you can reset this counter, and you get your warranty back(price is around 8$).

I have lost all boot animations. My phone boots up just fine with the static 'Motorola Dual Core' image. My question is, what should be the contents of the /system/media folder that houses the bootanimation.zip? I have tried installing various animations through CWM to no avail. Any ideas?

I am running 4.1.83 with the latest GladiAtrix P-ROM

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Correct..

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

Try this one, I know it works, its just a .zip. NO CWM. rename to bootanimation.zip, place in /system/media/, reboot. If that doesn't work there is a problem.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
OMG!...........Is that the file I think it is???.............The one which makes your phone explode???...............Nooooooo!.............Don't do it............! :D

Your /system/media folder should have a bootanimation.zip file as stated, and will have a .ogg or .mp3 file if there is any audio.

What do you have in your /system/media folder now? Is it empty?

When did you notice that you had no boot animation? Was it after flashing a new one?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevp453:
Ok, using adb I copied the renamed bootanimation.zip that you linked to in the /system/media and it didn't work. I redid the GladiAtrix install too and it didn't work. In my media folder I cleared out a couple of ogg and mp3 files cluttering it up and besides the animation zip I have a folder called Audio with a few subfolders called things like ringtones and ui.

Do I maybe have the permissions set wrong? What should they be?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Those are all correct files/folders I have even replaced/renamed some of the .ogg, and I have an additional folder stored in /system/media/ where I store all my botanims. So even if you have other files/folders there it shouldnt matter.

Have you installed "live logcat" or "live dmesg" or some other kind of bootanimation app.?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
You know that only happens when you place it in the /self/destruct/ folder and say "Steve Jobs" three times. ;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevp453:
No, I don't have any other bootanimation apps or the like. I think I'm about to give up until the next sbf flash I do, probably when GB finally makes its way over.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Permissions should be RW/R/R for bootanimation.zip with no special permissions set.

Same for any audio files that accompany boot animations.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevp453:
Hmm... permissions are correct. Hopefully a sbf flash will fix everything like it always does. Thanks for all your help guys!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V@no:
Hello.

I'm having a weird problem. When Atrix is plugged in to PC (charge only), it starts skipping, stattering when sliding finger on the screen (for example when slowling moving apps list). It's so bad, that when locked I'm having problem unlocking it, because the slider gets "released" before it reaches the other side of the screen, like I took my finger off the screen during the slide..

I've already reflashed it to 1.26 stock rom 3 times, it works fine for a few days, then starts doing this crap every times...the only recent app I've installed was alarmdroid.

As soon as it's unplugged from pc, it works flawlessly.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] StuckInAirplaneMode:
I got FRX06 loaded on a microSD, configured with RHOD500, popped it in the HTC Touch Pro II (Sprint), and all was happy the first time. Made a phone call from XDAndroid, all was going good.

Subsequent runs, XDAndroid is stuck in airplane mode. To resolve, I've tried:

1) Turning airplane mode off in settings. Every time I go back, I find airplane mode turned on again.

2) Seeing if in Windows, airplane mode is turned on. It is not.

3) Starting from scratch and replacing everything on the microSD card from the original FRX06 contents / download. Booted up, went through install again, after install, ended up in airplane mode again.

Any ideas? What was done for XDAndroid is sweet, I wanna show the franken-phone!

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you use the app Audiogalaxy. It's a wonderful app for streaming your whole music collection from your computer to your phone. It works phenomenally (for the most part) and you are able to access as much of your music as you want without clogging up your sd card.

However, it appears that Audiogalaxy's server is down at this time. If anybody else out there uses this app, are you having issues too?

Also, they recently updated the app and I don't like the interface quite as much. They added some social networking features that are cool for some, but not my cup of tea. I was wondering if somebody still has the older (about 2 months ago) apk before the update.

EDIT: their servers are back online and all is good again. If you haven't given this app a try, it is well worth it. All 140 gigs of my music is now streamable from wherever I have a data connection. It does great on 3g.

Thanks all!

How To FIX yourself the laggy deodexed browser.apk

:

Credits

:

1/ Download "smali from browser.apk.zip" at the end of the post

Extract it in a folder, you should have 3 files :

* BitmapWebViewSurface3D.smali

* BitmapWebViewLayout.smali

* BitmapWebView.smali

2/ Download smali-1.2.6.jar and baksmali-1.2.6.jar : HERE

and rename them in smali.jar and baksmali.jar

3/ Create a folder with :

4/ With 7-Zip open (without extracting) your stock browser.apk and drag and drop classes.dex in the folder with baksmali

Don't close 7-Zip windows

5/ Open a CMD promt (start > run > cmd) and goto your folder : cd C:\path of your folder\

6/ Then run the command: (don't close CMD)

java -Xmx512m -jar baksmali.jar classes.dex

An OUT folder is created

7/ Copy the 3 .smali files in \out\com\android\browser and overwrite if prompted

8/ Then run the command :

java -Xmx512m -jar smali.jar out -o new_classes.dex

A new_classes.dex fils is created

9/ Delete out folder and classes.dex

10/ rename new_classes.dex in classes.dex

11/ In the 7-Zip windows : delete classes.dex and drag and drop the classes.dex you renamed. You can close 7-Zip

not an obligation : (using my how to Extract ...) :

12/ Put your Moded browser.apk in _Kit_Deodexage/app/ then run Deodex_Gingerbread.cmd in order to zipalign

13/ in Deodex_app you have your FIXED deodexed browser.apk

the end :)

Edit : fixed KF2 browser.apk added (attached)

This fix is not working anymore on 2.3.4 KG1 and KG2 :(
