[G2 and Desire Z General] master.peterm:
the way I'm reading it is that you are not rooted right.... you should be all right just returning it as long as its S-ON in the bootloader.... if you wanna be safe wait till the gingerbread rom is officially released... but it shouldn't be a problem
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Its not clear from his post whether he is rooted not, S-Off, etc.. There is a pre-rooted version of the GB leak.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Downtime24:
there a way to get that tv screen on/off animation? only had it on CM7 but i switched to victous for the sense lockscreen
[G2 and Desire Z General] heema88:
you can switch to Coredroid rom by Siumagic, however there's a downside. If you don't mind the amber red led light turning on when you open your keyboard feel free to use coredroid, it's a very good rom !
[G2 and Desire Z General] leehopley:
their could be a release on monday, this has the addon for crt :) hope this helps
[G2 and Desire Z General] Downtime24:
Lol i appreciate the help. Only other rom i would even consider is cyanogen. Both of these are heavily supported with minimal errors. The screen am + sense = win to me :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] creepinm3:
Does this rom have rotating rosie?

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
The latest release of Virtuous Unity v1.25 (released today) has support for the CRT animation as an add-on. However, it's currently not really recommended for the G2 quite yet. It'll work, but they're saying there are known issues with the notification LED and a few other things.

The developers are currently committed to a weekly release schedule on Mondays, if you want to check back (or give it a go). You obviously know where the thread is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PaulQ602:
If you haven't already discovered it, you will be shocked to learn that if you use an apostrophe in a reply email, it will be converted into HTML code before being sent. In other words....

This: I don't know

Becomes this: I don&apos;t know

It's a small bug but it makes most emails in the English language look like a mess.

Apparently it's being linked to Honeycomb 3.1 and not the tablet itself. You can read the Google posting about the issue here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16873&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars

In order to expedite a fix, it would probably be helpful if you contact Samsung and report the problem. The more of us that do so, the more seriously they will take the need for a fix and hopefully work with Google to get it out.

I went to Samsung's support and used their CHAT LIVE feature to do it. If you have 10 minutes, head over there and let them know. When I did it, they had no idea the problem existed!

Samsung Support: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/

Go through the menus to select your tablet then the next screen will have a LIVE CHAT option on the right.

Until then, send your email as text only if you can figure that out or stop using apostrophes. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] figurine:
lol so THAT'S why it looked like no one here knows how to type. I don't believe it has happened to any of my posts on here but i'm not sure. I might have been too lazy to use any punctuation while typing on my tab :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kpfx:
Thanks! I noticed this on my Acer A500 (Honeycomb 3.1) and was going crazy trying to figure out what exactly was causing it. You just saved me hours of head-banging the desk.

EDIT: Looks like it was fixed in the 3.2 update (so c'mon Samsung, Acer, Asus, etc... give us an update).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] silverwolf0:
How does the Infuse compare in build quality to the Galaxy S and S II? I had a Vibrant (almost spitting image of a regular Galaxy S) and it was squishy and the rim was loose. Have they significantly improved the design since then?

Edit:

Had a few more questions. The Galaxy S was very color saturated. I heard the Galaxy S II was less so, and thus the same goes for this phone. Is that true? Is there a way to lower saturation like how the Galaxy S II can in the settings, or maybe a tweak? Also, I heard you can increase the audio bitrate and sample in the galaxy s II. Same for the infuse? The audio capture on all these samsung devices leaves a lot to be desired.

Edit: Might as well ask this here also. Does it support 1080p video playback natively? What about through HDMI?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dh2225:
Infuse 4g has a really solid and high end feel, believe me when you hold it you will be impressed with the build quality, everyone that held my phone was impressed. The back cover has a nice texture and only way to tell that its plastic is to take it off. I have used galaxy s before and this phone is much better build quality, so light and thin but really solid.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FIREONHIGH:
Build quality is great..yeeess it plastic but no creaks..and this thing is so thin you will want a case to hold on to it...get a good case...and screen protector...use the hell out of it.. Then throw it on craigs list in 8 to 12 months or when ever you are ready to switch it out. . Keep it scratchless to help your next phone purchase?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] silverwolf0:
Was wondering if this has a glued on rim that sticks out the side like the original galaxy s? The Infuse chrome sides seem to be one whole piece that wraps around to the front around the glass and there's no extra glued on rim? The galaxy s ii however kind of looks like it has a glued on rim but it sticks out less than the original galaxy s? I hate glued on rims! Tell me this doesn't have any!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FIREONHIGH:
No glued on rim..case it screen protect ut sell it in 6 months rinse repeat
[Samsung Infuse 4G] silverwolf0:
More questions moved to first post.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garak0410:
It is very solid. And don't listen to the complaints about the flimsy battery cover. It actually isn't that bad and still feels kind of solid when you take it off.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
it is a rugged plastic. dont think the ispire is better because it is heavy. but what i will say is that im sure the infuse is more damage prone than the captivate. what samsung really deserves credit on is the fit and finnish. the pieces all fit with no gaps and the plastics samsung uses are quite strong and crack resistant. the way the back cover is held on requires alot of precision. there is no excuse for the gaps i see in motorola phones.

im not sure why samsung decided on those stupid slip covers for the battery door on half the sgs line but it made a well made phone look and feel cheap. on the other hand they weren't stupid enough to put antennas in there (im looking at you htc aria and incredible)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
I'm very happy with my infuse. I held out as long as I could waiting for the galaxy s2, if it even comes to att. Ill rock this phon for the summer at least than hook up the next good phone. Suppose I could just sell my iphone 4 and use that to buy my next phone and keep the infuse. The screen is sick.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
i was worried at first. its very light and its pretty much all plastic. ive been worried most about that tinted chromed plastic around the edges as ive had that on previous phones and thats always the easiest and first things to scratch and break apart. the one on my tp2 was made of dry bread crumbs. i did drop my phone for the first time yesterday and it was a hell of a drop, i was sure i broke something but when it collected it, it didnt have a single scratch. cant say ill always be that lucky but it ticked a certain build quality check.
[Dell Streak 7] Zulu The AMISH Warrior:
:confused:

I've installed HD7B3 on my S7 and most of the basic functions work execpt:

4G - no 4G speed or indicator in my status bar. (less than 3mb, one of the reasons i got S7 over the Tab)

Wifi bar / indicator doubles as the 3G signal?

Swype - not able to install

Will System updates work?

installing apps from Android Market takes a few trys before they install.

Android Market web - i choose an app to install to my S7 but I don't see it downloading?

Apps view - there's rows and columns cut off (portrait and landscape)

Status bar - can the size be adjusted

Sorry for all these questions, new to Android rooting.....

Netflix is not

Is it possible to access PC internet on Android mobile via USB.

Previously i had windows mobile and this feature was present there.. but i am not able to setup in Galaxy s2.

can you please tell me how to do it.

Thanks,

Raj..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Greenie-UK:
As far as im aware there is not USB tethering Built into the SGS2 (unsure) but if you check for "tethering" apps on the market there are some decent ones some of which are free of charge
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AnDruid:
I think you are talking about the "Intenet Passthrough" feature, which is also available on a few lesser phones recently (http://www.htc.com/www/howto.aspx?id=52436&type=1&p_id=399). I don't really see an easy option for this. Hope something is done by the Devs or Samsung to cure this.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rajpandey10:
Thanks for your reply, yes i am looking for "internet pass through", it is available in HTC phone but not in S2, i searched in the apps but i didnt find any good apps which does support this.

Let me know if you know about any app.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] Decad3nce:
Hey guys, if anyone feels ballsy enough to attempt to intercept the ef10 modem you can just take the script pasted below, chmod it, and dump it in init.d. Name it like '69intercept'.

Then just 'upgrade firmware' in settings and this should copy the contents to a directory named cachecontents on your sdcard.

Note, you need to be on a EF02 ROM that has busybox and init.d script support, like chris41g EF02Plus ROM.

#!/bin/bash
#Intercept an update?
#init.d script

#simple way to generate checksum of a directory
findme=$(find ../../../cache | while read f; do echo `stat -t $f`; done | sha1sum)

#Create directory for dump, and set up initiliazer
mkdir ../../../sdcard/cachecontents;
PREVIOUS=$findme;
NEW=$PREVIOUS;

until [ "$NEW" != "$PREVIOUS" ]
do
NEW=$findme
if [ "$NEW" != "$PREVIOUS" ]; then
cp -R ../../../cache/* ../../../sdcard/cachecontents/
fi
done

Also, I'm not to blame if this leads to you bricking everything. But it shouldn't, since we're just copying and not pulling/moving/etc.
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
also, you dont have to flash my full rom, you can just flash my kernel if you are on the leak already, just make a directory in /system/etc called init.d and put that file in it..
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Also, get the newest superuser on the market, update the binary, get the honeycomb looking busybox on the market, install it.
[Epic 4G General] Decad3nce:
You don't need those.
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
su superuser.apk and busybox are all built into the kernel...
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Not the latest... 2.3.2 and 1.19. I am runing 3.
[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:
I would but I already have it installed, is there a file on the phone for the modem I've been looking but not sure if there is

sent from a sexy phonersphoners
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
1.19.0 is the latest busybox afaik.. and its not official, latest stable is 1.18.5

the Superuser.apk and su binary were updated a week ago.. but that doesnt change the fact that its irrelavant to this thread, and has no use for most people..

besides i think my kernel will just overwrite it anyway..
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
The newest su is actually 3.0 alpha 7. I have the apk and binary for it. I can link you. This is getting off topic...
[Epic 4G General] Decad3nce:
Theory is that it gets stored in /cache on download, then is wiped after flash.
[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:
Damn:/ and just checked just apps chilling for some reason

Edit I just truer to download again but battery pull when down downloading...didn't work but it said update from ef10 modem to ef02(or whatever. But older one was first) so guessing you can switch? Just seems odd to me

[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
Hey deca, we did some research last night, me noobnl and a few others, and apparently this isn't a normal ota, so it may not be in /cache.. that's the bad part.. good part is, it should be a full modem bin when we do find it...

You were supposed to do it during the download

If its really downloading on the SD card, why not just eject it at the right time after the download and pop it in a reader.

I'm sure what I'm saying is stupid, but I can't for the life of me figure out why.

[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:

[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
I'm attempting this now, nothing yet. Is there a way to check to make sure the script is running?

Edit; to be more specific, I created a file from your paste, chmodded it with read and executive properties, placed in /system/etc/init.d/ and named it 69-downloadscript. Its supposed to execute before zipalign. I've ran update from ef02 to ef10 (and back) several times without any luck. Is there a way to add some sort of responses to see if its indeed running?

If it helps I'm able to flash via ota back and forth with no issues.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Anyone question if there actually is a modem being installed?

O.o

I saw the supposed file size of the modem as being either 9mb or 900kb I only got time to count 3 numbers for certain.

But point is it downloaded in about 1 second or less OTA, isn't that way too fast?

Lol just my theory, know I'm wrong though.

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
8-9kb file would make sense, meaning it might a patch of some sort. Just a theory.

[Epic 4G General] nubecoder:
Anyone thought of packet capturing the update?

It should show where the file is coming from, etc.

I'll chat with some ppl on irc tomorrow to see if this can be done.

[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
i believe to capture packets it would need to be over wifi but the update might not transfer over wifi
[Epic 4G General] jarcher1971:
what about doing a data dump after the update finishes.

from the thread on making an odin tar could you create an ef10 modem.bin by running

"dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096"?
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
This.

It'll probably be the only way

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
I'm doing two data dumps now, one before the download, and one right after. I'll use a program to compare the files and see what's different then work from there.
[Epic 4G General] nubecoder:
I was able to see the EC05 OTA come across my wifi while capping some packets.

Granted I use DD-WRT on my router and had set up some port mirroring so that I could cap the packets on my PC.

I'll hit up IRC later on and see if this can be done.

web link > ripped files

;]

[edit]

When I 1st saw this thread, I thought someone had an EF10 modem from the Samsung Intercept that was working on the Epic.

>.<
[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
Comparing all files between two dumps, I was unable to find anything that was usable. There is a settings file that changes which indicates what the modem will be, i.e., it says "EF02 to EF10", but anything else that comes up is all useless.

I stand by my theory, it's just a patch. Pulling the modem using the odin tar method doesn't work either. I upgraded to EF10, pulled the modem, created a functioning odin tar with just the modem, flashed, and came up "Unknown" in properties.

I don't think it's possible to rip it, if anything, this is a test to see if they can upgrade the modem by patching it, instead of downloading the entire 12-14mb file through the phone.
[Epic 4G General] :
I honestly wouldn't suggest the EF10 Modem. I updated to it a few days ago and it left my phone in Airplane Mode and I couldn't come out.
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
The same thing happened to me. I flashed the EF02 modem, then did the FOTA upgrade again and it worked. The first time, it never even got to the screen that says FOTA and has the progress bar, it just rebooted right away. The second time, it did it correctly.

However, now the battery life sucks (1 day with EF02 down to 10 hours with EF10), so I'm going back.

[Off-topic] Penguin35:
First post in this great forum. Anyways, have a rooted inspire (shouts out to XDA for the ROM) and I love it. The only thing is, I hate AT&T and that stupid datapro plan.:mad: I am seriously thinking about ditching this service provider and its crappy network, in its hometown of Dallas, TX no less, pay the ETF fees and move to Sprint. Their plans seem attractive and they seem to be committed to unlimited data, the one thing that is attractive. Also, that Evo 3D looks nice, indeed.

Is it wise to kick AT&T to the curb and move on?
[Off-topic] DecisiveGamer:
I would say so. Although, I would not count on Sprint keeping up with the unlimited plans forever, though.
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
If you are gonna jump, do it... Sprint may very well not keep the unlimited 4G forever. (3G is capped at 5GB) If you live in a 4G area it's worth it IMO... At least you are grandfathered in (for at least two years or your next upgrade. If they drop the unlimited) I have them for my Mobile Broadband and I'm in a 4G area and I couldn't be happier...

Sent from my NS (no it's NOT SNS or GNS)
[Off-topic] mmegalodon:
I'd do it. AT&T is awful. The people I know that have migrated to Sprint are extremely happy they have done as much.

Handset data is truly unlimited. Just gotta hope you're in a good coverage area. Also it is worth noting many people have experienced poor, and prolonged, data speeds for a while. Some have noticed increases in speeds while some haven't. I'm in a pretty good zone and haven't seen the crazy drop in speeds. Obviously I don't speak for the masses. ;)

They cap mobile broadband / data cards at 5GB on 3G and unlimited on 4G. Not sure if that's what the poster above was meaning as she mentioned mobile broadband AFTER* - which many seem to get mixed up with just 'data.' Alas, that is just data cards, not actual handset data.

I agree, they do appear to be pretty committed to offering truly unlimited data for mobile devices, BUT, who knows how long that will last.

[Off-topic] gsvnet:
Have used Sprint in the past and have been pretty happy with them overall. I prefer GSM so I use T-Mobile but I would say Sprint is better than AT&T.
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
AFIAK 3G data is capped. (i looked into switching after I heard about the T-mo/AT&T merger..cuz that's where I'm going once it happens) I actually called Sprint to inquire about their $129 family plan (which after the $10 data charge comes too $149 :rolleyes:) and that's what their rep told me.... (i guess I got another csr that doesn't actually know anything...)
[Off-topic] mmegalodon:
That $10 'premium data fee' (See the '4G fee' people were mistakenly referring to it as) provided truly unlimited data - both 3G and 4G. I'm not sure how far back those 5GB caps went, or if it were always for mobile broadband, but it's not the case now.

Now that the $10 'premium data fee' covers all Sprint 'smart phones' and not just '4G phones' that also opens up the unlimited. So you wouldn't necessarily 'need' a 4G phone, even though that was never really the case.

As per the mobile broadband / data cards, I think there was a revision lately ... but I can't be bothered to look. Maybe when I get back from my beer run I'll edit my post.

Handset data = unlimited

That's reason enough for me to be sticking with Sprint. :D Some of the data plans on the other carriers are straight up SAD. :rolleyes:

There are roaming data issues that Sprint can bring up, like the Verizon 'hack' that got people just kicked right off Sprint. But that's another story.
