[Xperia Arc General] byted:
I own both the Xperia Arc and the HTC Incredible S. I've also owned the Galaxy S Captivate and Nexus S.

On paper, the Xperia Arc is a great phone. Wonderful camera, screen. Negatives: Small amount of storage for apps. App 2 SD only gets you so far.

I could deal with the low amount of memory. What I couldn't deal with was the memory "thrashing" that would occur when the Arc would get lower than approx. 30MB of ram free. The phone would freeze until it could allocate memory. I read on this forum as well that other people encountered it. This was on 2.3.3.

On the Incredible S, the memory management for some reason seems a lot better. I'm not sure why since I would of assumed that Android manages the memory the same at the OS level.

That is my biggest gripe with the Arc. My wife used it and disliked the experience. To each his own. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Just my opinion.
[Xperia Arc General] foolmoron:
The Arc has a nice screen and body for sure, but the stock firmware is pretty lame. I guess that applies to most phones though.

I think this wallpaper belongs to LG, maybe it will help.

Bump. please anyone?

That looks like the lg optimus 3d. If there is a leaked rom around or some one does a system dump on a pre production model you would be able to extract the wallpaper.

But it might be a 3d wallpaper so it might not work on a regular phone

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beias:
Hi guys

My Galaxy S is running on Darkys Rom v10.1 and its Dark Kernel. I never had problems with this but now I can't get a connection to my PC. When I plug it in it just loads the battery and my PC says that it can't detect the USB-gadget. There's not even a notification on my phone saying I have a connection to the PC.

I already re-installed Kies and the USB drivers a hundred times and even made a full factory reset on my phone but it's still not working.

Can anyone help?

Best regards beias

try installing drivers from here http://download2us.softpedia.com/dl...93/drivers/others/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

it is for x64, there you can also find for x86, worked for me just fine.

these are the drivers I installed again and again and again.. they always worked but there's still the error
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irBenn:
have you knocked or dropped it recently?

could be a loose connection to your phone micro usb port, I am in a very similar situation and I'm cracking mine open tonight to check the insides.

Also could be the cable if you're not getting any notifications on your pc of it connecting, would try different cables too.

[Galaxy S II General] austinchimp:
I've had the SGSII for about a week now after moving from a Nexus One running CM7, and wow I am impressed.

I know that in the grand scheme of things it's an incremental upgrade - the main reason I left it a while to move - however the SGII has in my view made a significant leap.

The main thing is that the UI is now as smooth and as refined as the iOS devices. I don't know what Samsung did that nobody else in the Android market has managed, but they've finally managed to make things as smooth as the iPhone.

I finally get that delicious feeling of having the UI elements "stick" to my finger as I move them around, rather than chase behind.

While we all know this is a superficial thing and adds little to the actual functionality, I believe this has finally closed the gap in terms of delight in using the device. I hate to use the sickening Apple term, but surely the average user will find just as much "magic" in using the SGSII as any iOS device.

Web browsing is now super smooth (hardware accelerated?) as are the home screens. Going back to my N1 I really feel the difference.

The SGSII is even more buttery smooth than my Asus Transformer running honeycomb.

Hopefully whatever Samsung have done, whether it be related to the chips in the phone or software tweaks, will be copied by all Android devices, and we can put the nagging sense of UI inferiority behind us (and I know the lack of smoothness bugged you no matter how hard you denied it).

Let's hope Android has put stuttering and lagging behind it forever. Well done Samsung.

P.S.

I haven't used the HTC Sensation so I don't know if they too have achieved this, but this is based on my observations of the hardware at my disposal.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
About the same as my view of the phone thats why i find it hard to understand the this is a crap phone posts can i have sense on it is their an IOS4 rom for it etc . A if i thought the phone was crap i would have returned it B if i wanted sense i would have bought sense phone .

But yes with Android customers have choice across a broad range of phones and that is why its winning the sales drive .

Looking forward to more Android improvements as this is only really year two of development .

[Galaxy S II General] jonny_ftm:
Dont get your point.

I find the IP4 laggy compared to the SGS2 :D. The i9100 is by far smoother in my opinion
[Galaxy S II General] falconeight:
I haven't used or seen a better smartphone. My sgs2 is borderline biblical!
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
u could not have said it any better

what u explained is the MAIN reason i bought this phone

there is no " lag " its just wonderful

what would make this phone perfect is a ROM based of AOSP

which im still waiting for team hacksung to finish its version of CM7
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
samsung has hardware accelerated many parts of the UI. the web browser for example is hardware accelerated, as well as a few other places.

this is why i blast google. they should have been using hardware acceleration from day 1 to give the same smooth UI experience as the iphone. the SGS2 is not doing anything special, its not the dual core making it so smooth. its simply because samsung took the time to optimize the SGS2 with graphics chip, rather than putting the burden on the CPU 100% of the time.

the nexus one would be just as smooth. look at WP7 devices. they all use the same hardware as the n1, but use hardware acceleration and proper drivers, and are the smoothest devices in the world right now.
[Galaxy S II General] austinchimp:
Well that was my point - How come it's taken so long, and a few generations of Android devices for this to be done? I honestly didn't think it was possible for an Android 2.3 device to be so smooth, I thought there was something fundamental in the architecture that was going to always mean a little lag.

I'd given up any of this generation of Android phones achieving true smooth motion, and here Samsung have done it without this development even being publicised that much.

I totally agree Android should have been like this - it just blows my mind that it's taken so long, and I can see no excuse for any top tier device from any other manufacturer not to match what Samsung have done.

Also, if it is just a case of tuning the software, why haven't/didn't Samsung do it with the SGS I ?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
The "this is a crap phone" posts probably mostly come from people who don't own this. ...I know that might sound a little odd but trust me, even in Android communities there are fan-boys, and some actually go that far...
[Galaxy S II General] lim eng seng:
yup. time to throw my htc legend. i play the pinball game. the ball look like teleporting...
[Galaxy S II General] Digital1325:
I went from a Nexus One to an iPhone 4, and then to this amazing device. All I have to say is that its been the best experience yet. I actually had lag on my iPhone 4... And very little to none on the SG2. I agree that most people bashing this phone probably don't even own one. I'll definitely be buying an SGS3. Goodbye HTC and to their ****ty voice/speaker quality and locked bootloaders. And hello Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
Its hard to understand why people love this device soo much unless you actually ownit. This phone seems to give the feeling that android should have been this fluid from the beginning. There is no device (including the sensation) that operates as smoothly as the sgs2. I love this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
GS3! Wow...the rumours, are TOO GOOD. Anything Apple pull out of the bag, even next year would simple pale in comparison to the GS3.
[Galaxy S II General] naddie:
Posts like these makes me anxious to get mine. Still waiting on UPS!

If Samsung did some hardware/driver acceleration magic, I wonder if CM7 and the other AOSP ROM project will be able to take advantage of this as well. I don't want the stock ROM to be the only super smooth and slick ROM available. :)
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
it hasnt taken too long. the original galaxy s also had hardware acceleration in the browser for example. only the international version, but it was lightening fast and smooth as butter. it only is because samsung took the initiative and did a custom job. google certainly hasnt implemented it yet, and in ice cream sandwich they claim it will come.

i'm right there with you, manufacturers should have been pushing for a UI experience that matches apple's.
[Galaxy S II General] p00kienrayray:
since the op is sharing thoughts about the device, i'll share mine too. i FINALLY received it in the mail today. opened the box, the device is bigger than it looks in the online review (coming from a nexus s 4g). the thin factor is impressive, but not as impressive as i was expecting. the smoothness is there as expected, but the "S" boot image is freakishly laggy--no big deal.

camera-really good

screen-what can i say? super amoled plus looks great,

hardware finish/quality-pretty good...but i prefer the smooth back over the textured back--no big deal

touchwiz 4.0-hmm, this is tough, i need to play with it some more. samsung obviously put a lot to this UI, but so far it doesnt seem as refined as other skins...for example, the default lock screen is kind of laggy, and is a pain sometimes to fully move the lockscreen so that it unlocks. numerical battery percentage would be nice without having to go into settings...other than these minor gripes, i love the touchwiz widgets.

obviously samsung has really tried to outdo itself and competitors, and the sgs II is perhaps the best android phone out there. but as of right now, it doesn't really give me that "wow" factor despite all its features. but i've only had it for one day and haven't gotten to test out the dual core, dlna, and other features.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Heinz-57:
Hallo,

ich bin begeisterter Nutzer von NaviComputer und habe es durch Einträge in der NaviMapper "Mapsource.xml" geschafft, außer den OSM- Karten auch die für Wanderer nützlichen von "OutdoorActive" (Germany, Austria,Suedtirol) herunterzuladen.

Jetzt habe ich weitere exzellente Karten gefunden, die ich mit dem "AtlasCreatorMobile" downloaden kann. Sie liegen dann im Format "OSM Tracker tile storage" (Bezeichnung lt. MobAC) in den verschiedenen Zoomstufen als ".png" auf dem PC vor.

Gibt es einen (für einen Laien) einfachen Weg, diese im NaviComputer als Karte nutzen zu können? Es ist m.E. also erforderlich, die Tiles im Kartenformat ".nmap" des NaviComputer als File darzustellen oder evtl. durch einen Eintrag in die Navimapper "Mapsource.xml" zu generieren.

Sicherlich gibt es Spezialisten, die so etwas können- man muss sie NUR finden :-)

Vielen Dank

heinz-57
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
als warnung vorweg:

nach den forum regeln ist es erforderlich, beitraege in englisch zu verfassen, oder zumindest in der muttersprache + englisch (zur not auch per google translate), am besten noch nachtraeglich editieren, bevor das thema hier gesperrt oder geloescht wird.

also mit dem speziellen navi programm kenne ich mich nicht aus, genausowenig mit der kartenbeschaffung per mobac, aber nach einem kleinen blick scheint mobac zumindest zu behaupten, kompatible karten produzieren zu koennen. das koennen aber auf keinen fall .png dateien sein.

png sind portable network graphics files, also bilder, aehnlich wie jpg. ein navigationsprogramm (egal welches) arbeitet aber nie mit bildern, da es dort keine gelaendebeschaffenheiten, strassen oder sonst etwas erkennen kann. im gegenteil, oft sind die karten nur tabellen voller text, aus deren koordinaten und attributen dann striche und flaechen gerendert werden, ohne dass irgendwelche grafiken vorliegen.

soll heissen, das umwandeln von png in nmap ist nicht moeglich, die karten muessen anders erstellt werden. entweder also noch einmal mit mobac versuchen und ein anderes ausgabeformat waehlen, oder eine andere von navicomputer empfohlene methode verwenden (vorgeschlagen wird z.b. openstreetmaps, ob das offline material hat, kann ich nicht sagen).

das ist zwar sicherlich weit von der loesung entfernt, die gefordert war, aber bei einer so speziellen frage gehe ich davon aus, dass es sich tatsaechlich um ein einmaliges problem handelt.

@mods:

the user has been reminded of the forum rules and of the fact that posting in german instead of english is neither welcome, nor helpful to himself or others.

short version of the question:

he is a user of navicomputer (http://navicomputer.com/index.php) and has successfully added streetmaps before, however, when creating off-road maps for hiking, using mobac (http://mobac.sourceforge.net/) he is given png files. how does one convert these files?

short version of my answer:

png files are graphics files, while maps for navigation systems of any kind consist of tables of data, like coordinates and their properties and objects in those places, which are used to render graphical maps without the use of actual graphics files. therefor, i recommended, either to use the proper output format (nmap) at mobac, or use another service to create the map.

i guess this matter is very special, my answer was just a superficial observation, since i don't know that software or the map creation service, but i guess, if anyone can recomend any alternative software with the same purpose, it would be very helpful as well.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teentech:
I'm relatively new to this ROM flashing business and, before I flash my first custom ROM, I have three quick questions that I would be very grateful if one of you more advanced developers could answer.

1. Is it possible to return to the stock ROM (or on the DInc, HTC Sense) without unrooting, or would I have to unroot and reroot?

2. What is the possibility of bricking my phone? I have seen a lot of warnings about bricking, but what is the actual probability that this will happen?

3. By using Titanium Backup, how much am I actually backing up and how much will I have to do myself to re-customize my phone?

Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batmanbeyond:
1) Yes, by backing prior to your first flash you can always revert back to your backup. You could also download a stock rom and flash to that as another method of returning to stock.

2) Bricking and reading information on flashing have an inverse relationship a.k.a the more you read the less likely you brick and the less you read the more likely you brick. If you use that thing called google you will almost certainly not brick your device.

3) Not sure I can answer this one as I don't use titanium for anything. To get my phone back to the point I had it after each flash I only need to spend about 5 mins tweaking CPU, voltage and placing my clock widget where I want it. Google handles apps and contacts so that isn't a problem. You can backup your messages and what not with numerous programs. Customization can become endless i.e. themes, display tweaks etc but I don't really know how far into that you have gone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
The dev (newtoroot) should have said whether it was something you could flash over or do a full wipe (like before first installing a rom). You just flash the updated version like you did initially.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teentech:
Whenever I try to restore to my backup of stock Sense/Froyo, my phone gets stuck on the white "HTC Incredible" screen, and I have to take out the battery and reboot into Optimized Sense. Because of this, it appears I may be stuck in a custom ROM. Is there anything I can do?

Make sure you do a full wipe, the same thing you'd do before flashing a new ROM, and then restore the backup.

Is there a way to reflash a new Clockwork Mod recovery over the recovery image on my SG2?

What has happened is I flashed my Chainfires Root KF2 with CWM

Then I flashed the original Firmware KF2 over the top to get rid of the Yellow !

The CWM (as stated in the Chainfire post) may not work properly due to reflashing over it with another firmware (my 2nd flash)... I get this weird

can't access CSC system/csc issue... when i boot into recovery mode.

I was thinking if I could reflash a version of CWM over the top it might fix up the issue...

Any ideas? is it possible?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrealtb:
Oh so if i do the process again, but instead of reflashing stock the firmware I reflash the kernal at the end to get rid of the !.

Sorry i am a newb, I come from a modding a motorola backflip... seemed so much easier...

Sorry my bad... I did Flash CF-Root Firmware

and then flashed the orginal Kernel over the top....

So i did it correctly the first time...
