Hi DooMLoRD,

Apparently the new update to the system are.

xLoud - boosts your music when played through the speaker

Stereo recording - shoot video with high-quality stereo sound

Digital home - enjoy entertainment content stored in your phone on DLNA certified media devices

New themes and Landscape mode for your home screen

I hope this helps.

All the best,

NSCXP2005
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
are u sure those ones are for Play/Arc/Neo?

cause X10 GB FW is numbered 3.0.1.G.0.75

i think they are for the new Xperias
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
The F version should be for the arc also: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/downloads/download/301f0131tarbz2?cc=gb&lc=en

Hi all, my first post here (btw, sorry about my english)

i'm a happy user of android 2.2, but i guess that my mobile operator modified my kernel or something, and there are somethings that look weird...my notification bar is black, and my 3g icon, battery icon, all of them are colored! i want them black and white, with squared 3g icons black and wihite! :(

can i just install the original rom? if so, how do I do that?

I tried many times boot in recovery mode with help of home+power button but couldnt get into recovery mode.so here is my noob question, does recovery mode is for rooted mobiles only?

samsung galaxy ace android newbiee
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] raajith:
Its, HOME + Power + Volume Down buttons... try it...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aceian:
That's for getting into the download mode...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aceian:
Recovery mode can be accessed by both rooted as well as non rooted devices...

Home + power button should work....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] er.davinder:
there is another magical way of doing this :p :p

install better terminal emulator and type

reboot recovery

your phone will automatically go into recovery mode
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] geocine:
another way is to connect your phone to the computer and use android sdk tools and execute

adb reboot recovery

Or maybe you're just releasing the buttons too early.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
You should hold the buttons......then see the word "SAMSUNG"....then it will close off again....then you will see the same word.....you should only release when you see the words "Galaxy Ace" appear .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrChaosDesire:
Maybe you shouldn't charge while.getting into recovery mode. Everytime I am charging and getting into recovery mode, it won't work. Or just spam home button when its booting up. That's what I always do.

hi

recently got my S2 n wanted to setup fb n twitter account through social hub but im getting login failed from past 2 days ?...im not able do tht even in accounts n sync too..any help pls
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The Social Hub seems to be routed through central Samsung servers. It gets a bit slow (OK, a lot slow) sometimes but it always corrects itself. I just checked and it's actually running pretty quick today. Are you sure your passwords are correct? Social Hub is really just a pass-through so I don't think there's anything native to it that would prevent you from signing in to a service.
[Galaxy S II General] vickysud:
Passwords are all correct trying from past 1 hour everytime im getting log in failed..wat exactly is the procedure

i went to social hub clicked on add acoounts then gave my fb id n password..is there anything else i need to do ?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
It might be a problem with setting up new accounts. Maybe someone can try and set up an account and see if it works on their phone. Do you have any special characters in your logins that the Social Hub might night recognize?
[Galaxy S II General] motodude:
Its true it I havent succeeded in login neither into Social hubs nor Readers hub , only Game hub works fine for me . Also when i check for firmware update through phone its always says connection failed , though I am connected with wifi . Web pages opens pretty fast but samsung related things dosent respond quick.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Go here and see if you can set it up via your PC...

[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Forget about, and go to bed get some sleep and try again tomorrow , so I've had this happen too
[Galaxy S II General] vickysud:
i can login through PC no problem every thing is working email account,im accounts but only facebook n twitter arent working..i will leave it for today n try it tom..it been the same since 3 days thinking may be prob with firmware
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
If i'm not mistaking, setting up your accounts in social hub and probably the rest of the hubs must be made from the data connection of you carrier.After that you can use wi-fi.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I think there was some problem with Social hub. I also got error with my facebook account. I solved it by removing the account and adding it back again. For some reason it couldn't connect if I just tried to re-enter the password.

But removing account and adding it back worked.

And I suspect it also used quite a bit of battery while trying to connect to the service and failing.
[Galaxy S II General] datapusher:
HAHA

The preinstalled app provided by the manufacturer is incompatible?

Might be why it doesn't work.

Hi All

Well, after being without one for almost 5 years ... I have bought a second hand HTC Universal, mine to be specific is the O2 XDA Exec.

Being as it was second hand all I got was the handset and USB cable, no discs, box ... nothing! I am really trying to down-grade the ROM on it. It currently has WM6.5 .. and from what I can tell it is defo a cooked ROM from somewhere. I want to down grade to WM5 so it is faster and I dont need any of this fancy stuff as I will be using it for home automation.

I have done ROM upgrading before on my old HTC Touch HD ... so can anyone point me in the right direction please :)

Hello all again.

Please please can someone help me here. My HTC Uni is now a brick, stuck in bootloader.

I have done the task 28 55aa and from what I can tell, it did what it was meant to. I cant seem to upgrade any roms tho, I have downloaded 5 so far and all have failed saying it cannot find RAPI.dll ... can anyone help me please?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] jbmint:
Sorry, maybe I should explain what I have tired! Might help lol

OK, I bought this of eBay and it came with a really bad home cooked Rom that was really slow and laggy. I wanted to downgrade it down to WM5 again so I picked a ROM of here and set about updating. At this point I need to mention this, I cant remember the name of the rom BUT I DO NOT BLAME the cooker of the rom, any rom cookers or xda developers for the problems I now have ... i did this fully knowing i am doing it at my own risk!

So, I didnt do alot off research and found out later that you need a special driver to flash in windows 7. Since trying to flash my HTC it has been stuck in boot loader. I have tried the task 28 55aa, tried upgrading just the radios and just the roms. Hard reset .. all that I can think and no luck at all.

Some of the roms come wtih "MaUpgradeUt_noID" this works, but the "ROMUpgradeUt" doesnt as it says the RAPI.dll file is missing.

Please can someone help me!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] orb3000:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashgupta25:
Hey

I just moved from WinMo to Android (Omnia i900 modded). The stock call logger shows all the calls and the messages in it. I want to do 2 things:

1. Clear messages from the call log. - Other threads suggest going to Phone/Contacts/History and then setting to show only the calls, but that is not practical for 1000+ contacts if you're doing that one by one. Another option mentioned is to set to "View By" which is absolutely useless.

2. How to stack/group all the calls made to the same contact together (be it calls to home/work/mobile etc.) - something that was being done in WinMo (up to WinMo 6.5)

Any suggestions people.

I like the stock dialer app, so not much interested in switching to an alternate (except as a last option). Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. But is there not a mod that is available from a developer which could solve this issue. I believe that this is an issue with Gingerbread nd a lot of people must be having the same complain.

Otherwise, any suggestions on an alternate dialer / sms client which would be the PERFECT alternate for the stock dialer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
This is a custom Samsung call log that does this. The stock gingerbread call log does not show texts with calls, and it also groups calls from same person together in a sub expandable list.

Thanks for the answers. My carrier is Orange, from Spain, but I don't know if it helps. I would like to flash Overcome but I don't know how begin. I have experience with Nexus One and Hero, but this seems very different.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfuruie:
Overcome is pretty stable compared to honeycomb. Try it first!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
GSM phones use sim cards, CDMA need to be activated on the network and can't be transferred to another carrier easily if at all.

Don't know much about the CDMA as Australia got rid of CDMA a few years ago now...

GSM tabs have a larger choice of roms and kernals to try while the CDMA brothers and sister seem fairly restricted in what they can flash. They, however seem to be ahead when it comes to flashing Honeycomb...

ATM Honeycomb is an Alpha buiild, VERY buggy and not really usable if you need your tab in real life, Gingerbread on the other hand has been fairly stable for a while now. Up to you what you want to put on but before you do, READ the instructions on using ODIN or Heimdall, there are guides here.

Check if you're bootloaders are locked here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071 Before flashing

and make sure you take it slow, step by step and DON'T skip ahead when flashing.

Happy hunting for that perfect rom ( please don't ask what people think as Its really a personal choice and the threads have more than enough info for you to make a choice).

Cheers...

So, I recently bought an unlocked SGS2 (I'm a US AT&T user) and it seems that ALL the numbers in my contacts list are stored as (xxx) xxx-xxxx which apparently is invalid because I get sending failed errors every time I try to text one of those numbers. If I edit the contact and reenter the phone number, it is stored as xxx-xxx-xxxx, which works. I have somewhere north of 200 contacts with at least 1 number each so I REALLY don't want to have to reenter all phone the numbers...any solution to this?

EDIT: For anyone who runs into this problem, I found a lifesaver of a solution in the form of a $1.99 app called: Google Contacts Formatter...it has a lot of different formatting options, so it could also be useful for people who move from the US to an area where formatting is different. Link here.

I'm getting my Sensation on Monday, and am starting to buy accessories. I'm not trying to be cheap, especially in anticipation of the goodness to come, but, $44 is a LOT of cash for a battery. Has anyone ever heard of this brand:

http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Battery-HTC...334125?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aac1fa1ed

I know that "eBay batteries" are chancy, at best. On the assumption that it is in fact an "Anker" battery, the fact that it is rated at 1900 mah sounds interesting. I also realize that 1900 mah probably is not real, but, can anybody state the potential downsides, if you know of any? I'm fine with it not actually having that much juice, given the price. However, if there is any potential for "damage", whatsoever, please advise. TIA...

Nice.
