[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.denb:
Hi guys, I'm also quite a n00b at all this, new to android:)

I have a question about this kernels/roms as well.

I have updated samsungs firmware (KF2) as described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

After that I rooted my phone as described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Now, I came across an overclock! Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13709259#post13709259

Which seems really interesting.

My question is: will I loose my KF2 ROM/kernel if I flash this overclock kernel?

Can I even apply the mod with my KF2 kernel?

And what exactly is the difference between a ROM and kernel anyway:P?

Thank you! Trying to read up a lot, but it's not easy being a simpleton:P

Im also new to android and rooting and stuff ....my Nordic SGS2 is XWKE2 not KE7. But many of these funny hacks are for KE7! Which is the easiest way to just root my phone to keep it as stock as possible ? What do I need for it? I know I need Odin, the maybe SuperOneClick? Im just too confused about all the threads i've read here.... -.-

numerous problem have been encounter throughout my attempt to flash custom rom

1) i been trying to s-off using alpharev without success. alpharev reported my phone is not supported???

2) ;later on i try using s-on method to flash custom rom, its work, but only boot with my 2gb memory card and stuck on htc white screen if i use 8gb memory card.

3) trying using both rcmix rom and cool kingdom v7 rom, my weather live wallpaper is shuttering badly

will be appreciate alot if anyone able to solve my problem. thx
[Desire General] Arkangel786:
Flash an Oxygen rom first - any oxygen rom for the desire and the then use alpharev to s-off. I had the same problem when i was trying to s-off and someone reccomended that I flash an Oxygen rom first. It worked perfectly.

Live wallpaper will stutter/lag on the desire when using those roms.
[Desire General] derek777:
thanks for the quick reply, and its WORKED !

now I'm S-offed,

will further explore the system now...

thx again
[Desire General] Arkangel786:
Glad I could help!

No that you're s-off, you may want to try android flasher, its a great little program - you can flash a new splash screen, bootanimation, radio, recovery or even change your hboot.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quietriot84:
I just got my HD7s a few days ago and I have noticed that when I am talking to someone I can hear some kind of background noise. I believe it is coming from the mic on the bottom of the phone because if I blow into the mic I can hear that crackly noise from the earpiece. Anyone else have this issue? Just wanted to check before I looked into getting a replacement.

I read on a different forum that the sim card may be the culprit. Not really sure how that could affect the call quality though. Any ideas?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:
no I don't have that issue
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxtsfxx:
Have no idea but tons have this issue as well as me.. Can you hear yourself talk when talking to someone?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Splitboot:
When I first got my HD7S, it sounded as if there was a noise cancelation issue during my first day of calls that initially sounded like high pitched whistling / clicking. As I made more calls, the sound went away and the call quality improved drastically. Now the quality rivals my old HD2.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxtsfxx:
Ok, i knw this is off topic but is the HD7S suppose to be on when charging? Everytime i turn it off to charge as soon as i plug it up to power it turns back on. That and the fact i can hear myself when talking is what turns me off to this phone... Well i still have 25 days left to turn it in for something else.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quietriot84:
I figured there was an issue with the noise cancellation, or something like that. How long did it take for the call quality to improve? Like how many minutes? I already returned mine and went back to my iPhone 4. Really missing my WP7 lol. Trying to convince myself to wait till after Mango to see what is being offered.

On a side note, does anyone thank HTC quality is going down? Used to have a TP2, and aside from the lame resistive touch screen and old internals I really liked the phone and its quality, especially the speakerphone.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxtsfxx:
Indeed i do.

Considering the hardware on the "latest and greatest" isnt at all up to par with what is currently available for Android devices, part of me wants to throw half my fortune into Nokia as it will not take much to make an epic WP7 and kill HTC in the market right now.

If my TP2 hadn't have died last week (R.I.P.) I would have waited for this fall.

I hope the Mango update for the HD7S fixes all these issues because I love WP7 so far and would love to keep it. However, I dont see myself getting any other phone running WP7 due to lack of HW and sheer quality. The Gallexy S II is looking very appealing (if it ever comes out this month)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrinceVegeta978:
I can't say that i have this problem. I did at one time have it with my Iphone 3G, and my BlackBerry 8820, but it was on and off. Since i have had my HD7 i have not experienced this.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derylmccarty:
HD7S Noise

For the first 3-4 weeks I had the HD7S at the beginning of each 2nd or 3rd call there was an extremely high pitched squeal that lasted perhaps for less than a second, but nevertheless forced you to quickly remove the phone from your ear. If the Jabra were on for handsfree in the car no noise. It has subsequently disappeared and haven't heard it for a week or two. I have not experienced the "crackling" sound nor a microphone feedback issue.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legbuh:
Anyone else with this issue? I have it and have boxes up my phone to return but if it "goes away" after a while then I may end up keeping it.

Seems to work fine with headphones plugged in, and the person on the other end seems to not hear the hissing, but it's really REALLY annoying.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetster:
Did you keep the phone in the end?

I had the high pitched squeeling but am thinking that it only 'goes away' because you subconsciously learn to hold the phone differently to prevent the mic feedback... I'm only on day 3 with the phone but I thought my ears were going to bleed after the first call I made on it!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dressanderc:
I hate to revive an old thread, but I just went out and got this phone yesterday. Is there a fix for this out, or am I just to put up with it?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragon Queen:
I would like to know if anyone ever found a fix either.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dressanderc:
Yeah I gave up. Back to Apple! Yay for me and the iPhone 4S, too bad HTC couldn't put out a quality WP7 device in time.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willy318is:
I just bought my hd7s, and it has the same problem with the microphone, its so irritating that I cannot keep it.

I guess it only needs a firmware fix, not a ROM, and not a Hardware, because how did it pass QC at first place, if its a Hardware issue?

Should we talk with HTC, or AT&T about this?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C10250:
I also have had the same problem with my HD7s. I experience feed back screeching in my ear on the very first phone call as the handset near my face and it stopped after I got the speaker pressed up against my ear. This would happen quite often. It also would occur many various position like when I would pin the phone against my shoulder to free my hand or when I would place the phone face down on a table to activate the speaker phone. I could also easily induce the sound by arcing my hand a bringing close to the phone. This was very disappointing as the phone is perfect for me in every other aspect.

I exchanged the phone with AT&T for the same model. With this second HD7s I could not reproduce the feedback out of the box. After several days of phone calls I could actually hear a significant improvement in call quality, as there was an absence of the hissing background noise that I would hear before. When I really put some effort into it I find can produce the feedback with my hand by practically making a tunnel from speaker to the microphone. I'm quite certain that this should not occur under any circumstances but I've been able to overlook it thus far because this phone meets my needs in every aspect.

It seems to me that the microphone in this phone is too sensitive. It's a double edged sword of sorts because my wife says the call quality on her end is noticeably better than it has been before compared to my Tilt2.

I must say though, I spent an afternoon with a Titan and that is an excellent phone. Pure call quality, great build, better camera, I had fun with Tango and the front camera, and the even larger screen is great. It just wasn't a match for me because it lacked an Otterbox Commuter case and XDA hasn't cracked it yet-I really need my homebrew apps and custom ROMs with internet sharing. If the titan gets unlocked before my thirty day buyer's remorse is up I may be switching.

Now if you are like me and the HD7s is the best phone for you I suggest that you exchange it for another to see if you have any luck. The fact that this seems to be a consistant problem with those who experience on more than one device, suggests to me that it's a design flaw. However the fact that this thread is only 2 pages long suggests to me that we are the only ones that have an uniquely contoured face that exposes the problem.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theking_smen:
Hi,

I am using TouchPal Dialer as my dialer app. Last Night the app crashed and it clear my call log history as well.

Anyone knows of a way to get back my call log histroy?

and I did not backup my call logs.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DroidHam:
I'm picking up my Galaxy on my lunchbreak tomorrow. I haven't seen a complete guide on how to root/mod etc..

Do I root first, and then install CWM? Does Galaxy come with 3.1 out of the box?I saw one that was Vanilla? I thought I wanted Gingerbread? Sorry for the stupid questions
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kevin Gossett:
There is a root/CWM thread in the dev section... Follow that guide. It comes preloaded with stock Honeycomb 3.1, with an optional Samsung Touchwiz OTA to come sometime soon. Gingerbread is the latest OS for phones, not tablets. Honeycomb 3.1 is the latest for tablets
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DroidHam:
Ya I meant HC, lol. So how come one of the OTA's in the dev section says Vanilla? And its root and THEN CWM right?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nles:
Any eeepad user here notice, whenever I listen to music with my eeepad connected to the keyboard dock, if I close the lid it won't continue play the next song in the album.....

Sometimes even not connected to the keyboard dock, after it played 3-4 songs in the album it stopped, it only resume playing once I click the on/off button.

I also loaded 100+ music videos in the tablet, how do I create video playlist for it? In iPad I can sort those videos as music video in iTunes.

I created a m3u playlist for video and open with moboplayer, it doesn't play the next video in the playlist too.

iPad probably a better media player I guess....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SirSid:
try another music player. I really liked winamp before I started streaming everything via subsonic. I know winamp lets you sync via wifi
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Azhad:
Open Moboplayer -> settings -> Play next automatic.

the iPad isn't better, it just assume that people are idiots and turn on all the options by default :)

And for the closed dock problem, I think that going into settings -> display and turning down the dock energy save profile will solve it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
yep..try turn off the dock energy save feature and then redock/reboot

both winamp and ubermusic (from the deveoper of launcher pro, http://www.ubermusic.com/ ,in beta but fully working) are better choices than the stock one..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nles:
So I unticked the MobileDock battery saving mode, now it plays the next song just that it wont repeat the album after the last song.

Moboplayer: play next song already ticked but still after it finish the video it bounce back to the playlist.

Also how to make it default hardware encoding? I copy all my music videos from ipad, some are from youtube 720p mp4. If soft encode it will lag. In the moboplayer settings, If I untick default soft encode, when I click the video it lags, if I hold the video it only let me select soft-encode.

If I tick default soft encode, then it let me select hard-encoding when I hold the video.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Yeah it probably is.

.................

I mean how is someone supposed to respond to that? Are you just trying to provoke people or what?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
I suppose you need to turn on a 'repeat' option or whatever sounds close to that.. if that doesn't work..try a different music player...

in moboplayer, just 'click the video' means the opposite of 'hold the video and select an option'....hard-encode or soft-encode..

you can also use the stock player for hardware encoding playback..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nles:
My moboplayer doesn;'t do that, probably I should try reinstalling.

I must tick default sodft-coding then hold the video and select hard coding.

If I untick default soft-coding, I click the video and it lags, if I hold the video then only got option for soft-coding.

More importantly still couldn't create playlist for my videos.
[General Questions and Answers] ferchorama:
Sorry if this question does not belong here,

I'm getting a new phone soon but it has become very difficult for me to decide wich one I'm going to finally get. My two options are the Galaxy S I9000T or the HTC Inspire 4G. Now this are the details:

I'm concerned about the battery life on the Inspire but I love the camera and the larger screen.

On the other hand, I love the Galaxy S image quality and front camera but the 5Mpx camera and no flash make me think about it

In my Country there are no plans yet to implement 4G so this is not a feature I worry about.

The Galaxy S model is now more than a year old and there is even a Galaxy S2, the inspire was released this year

I need to sleep again so please give me a hand, I would really appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
I have had both, several times :)

I found the 5MP camera on the Galaxy S far superior to the 8MP unit on the Inspire/DHD. Not having a flash can be a let-down, but the better image and video quality make up for it I think. The photos look much better at full resolution, decent detail and good colour.

If you're not an extremely heavy user, you can get the better part of two days from the DHD. I found battery life about par for both devices, without modifying anything (straight out of the box).

Personally, I found the colours far too distracting on the Galaxy S. The screen is nice and the blacks are truly black, but everything else just seemed a bit too saturated for my liking. If you're into bright colours though, you'll love it. Just make sure you don't use a white background!

As for build quality, the Galaxy S is all cheap glossy plastic, while the DHD is Aluminium and plastic. The DHD battery flap/door is horrible to remove and replace. The Galaxy S really needs a case to keep it looking nice (on second thought, they both do). The Galaxy S is lighter, so if you don't like to feel too much weight in your pocket it's a better bet.

I'll hang around and see what you decide, if you had any other questions you can post here or drop me a PM :)

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] irBenn:
I own a Samsung Galaxy S, so far I have enjoyed it.

The only annoying thing is the sweep glass to unlock screen, which can be a bit of a pain if you try to sweep it too quickly or not far enough. But it's been compatible, reliable and able to cope with anything I've thrown at it so far. I also dropped it about 2-3ft onto solid concrete without any damage, maybe a couple of small scratches on the back, but I wouldn't suggest doing this regularly :P

I've also rooted and flashed it without any hiccups if your interested in doing that.
[General Questions and Answers] samuel0park:
Camera? then Galaxy S.

My wife has Galaxy S because she wanted a good camera phone.

Except for not having shutter button, Galaxy S's camera is the best

I have ever tried. Even under dim lighting, it's better than 8MP camera with LED flash.

Samsung even took the HD commercial film for their GalaxyTab with

Galaxy Ss. You can check the video quality here in the Youtube link.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S, but as I do not know much about HTC Inspire 4G I will not vote.

Generally I am quite satisfied with my device, the only problem being that although I do not use the phone very much, and brightness is set on very low, the battery almost dies at the end of one work day. I think that it is me doing something wrong, though.

[General Questions and Answers] floydua:
i love the galaxy s and all the modding capabilites. performance is great. THAT BEING SAID, i would friggin love to have a flash on the camera. dont really care about front facing camera but its cool i guess. as long as the inspire can be rooted and everything, maybe i'd go with that
[General Questions and Answers] jrojrojro:
Speaking of camera flash, I still never photographed anything serious at night, but last night I tried the night scene mod with my Samsung Galaxy S and the result seemed very good. As long as there is some light source the photos are bright enough.

Of course if you photographed in total or almost complete darkness you'd need a flash, but how often does it happen? You usually need a flash when you photograph at night with weak artificial light around, and the night scene settings takes care of that.

[Nook Color General] theorist:
hi. thanks truly for reading this.

i was reading through this forum and i was going to buy a SD card (sandisk class 4, everyone seems to agree is best).

people say it doesn't matter what size you buy if i'm just going to stick with one rom like cm7.

what i am confused is people also say that an advantage to rooting vs putting it on my sd card is seomthing about APPS downloading.

i'm confused, can i not use apps or download a lot of apps if i use an SD card? if i buy a big sd card (16gb), shouldn't i have a lot of space?

last question. is the sd card people are buying the sandisk ultra series like the one below?

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra...7HQK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1308541691&sr=8-2
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
I just did this the other day and had a million questions (that people helped me with), so I can definitely give you an amateur's perspective (although I did a lot of reading here beforehand).

Yes, it seems SanDisk is the card to use, and not too high a class. This is the one I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B1AR50

and it works great.

I put the CM7 on the card because I want to be able to revert the Nook to the original system without a lot of fuss. And I also didn't want to risk screwing things up. I have never rooted my phones, but when I saw this using the sd card, I was all over it.

It is my understanding if you install to the sd card, it occupies it entirely and you don't have it available for extra storage. I'm sure someone will come around and correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know if you could partition it, but that's over my level. So rooting the device would give you more room on a card for apps and media if you need it. But you can still install tons of apps directly on the NC. I think people who actually install movies would run out of space pretty quick, but other than that, not so much.

I followed verygreen's directions very carefully (and still had questions), and things worked out really great. I think the NC with mods is totally unbeatable. And these people here who do all the work so we can enjoy it are amazing.

I used a combination of these links for the process yesterday:

[Nook Color General] kwyrt:
Maybe it depends on what ROM you are using but from my experience you should still have room left on the MicroSD afterward for installing apps. I used Racks11479 Phiremod/Honeycomb dualboot image for mine and still have over 4 GB left on my SD card partition using an 8 GB Sandisk MicroSD. The instructions I used are located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045018
[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
When you burn an OS to a card, you are actually burning the OS to one partition of many on that physical card.

Typically you'll still have a large partition called 'SDCARD' which acts like an SD card, but is still on the same physical card.

So moving files from 'phone' to 'SDCARD' just changes if they are in the 'apps' parition or the 'SDCARD' partition -- they're still on the same physical device.

The emmc (internal) memory is not accessible when running a ROM from the SDCARD (unless you do something to change that fact).
[Nook Color General] theorist:
thank you very much for the replies.

just to confirm, are the sandisk ULTRA cards the one people are buying to use with it?
[Nook Color General] LBN1:
My Class 4 Sandisk 16gb did not say Ultra though it is probably fine regardless since the consensu is Sandisk seems to be a reliable maker.

CM 7 on the uSD makes four partitions. 1st partition is called boot. 2nd and 3rd partition are not accessible. 4th partition is the largest, and is for storage of Apps, music, videos, etcl. On a 16gb card, you have about 13gbs in that 4th partition so it should be plenty for loading up stuff.
