[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yarymo:
Hi everybody,

I did just purchased a Galaxy S2 I9100... A month ago or so.

And I can remember me to have sign up to a Samsung Account, as asked when I first started the device or maybe as I tried SamsungApp.

But I forgot my Password and I don't remember it asked me for a username...

And I didn't get any email as confirmation or so... !!! And that really weird... I find.

I have my phone, my email adress, and every thing, but just this username is missing and this damn password... I even still know the date on which I registered !!! :rolleyes:

I though they would be some recover password functionnality somewhere...

But firstly I wasn't able to find any mention of a Samsung Account on my phone, except in the "Accout and Sync" part of the settings, which doesn't help me much as it does just confirmed that I once created a Samsung account :(

So, did you know some workaround to get my username back ? or maybe where I can find a password recovery function ?

I tried it with this homepage : innovator.samsungmobile.com but it just said me that my "email adress was already in the system" and that if I wanna get my password back, I need to give my username... :confused:

So what could I possibly do ?

I would be pleased to be able to log somewhere directly from my phone, as this account is actually registered in the phone... Somewhere where I could see my username would be the best... :)

And please don't say me "erease your samsung account and create a new one" because I don't want to be registered anywhere without having access to my profile with this email address !!! It's important for me to have control over this one...

And could also somebody explains me why we need such an account ???

Sorry for my bad english, I'm a French-speaking personne. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Username = the e-mail address, as far as i know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
I believe you got the confirmation mail in your gmail inbox. Go ahead and check that :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yarymo:
Well, I'm sure it's not the case : I have double checked and I didn't get any email at all !!! That's unbelivable, but it's maybe gone to the spam, and as I didn't checked it for a month at least, it must have been deleted... Anyway, nothing samsung's related, either in my gmail inbox, nor in the spam...

Any other tips ?

PS : username must be between 4 and 12 char... and my email adresse is bigger as that ^^' I've try it, cutting the 13,14 and 15th char, but it didn't work :(:(:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Strange, if i wanna log into Samsung Apps it definetely says e-mail and password, nothing about a username. Don't know what username you are talking about :confused: Try logging in from your pc and see for yourself: http://www.samsungapps.com/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yarymo:
OMG, I'm really silly ! I did obviously give a false birthday to samsung, ( because I don't like to give any information about me to anyone...) But I did it in such an hurry, wanting to use my phone, that I forgot which false birthday I gave... And I didn't give the same as I normally do...I'm cursed, no way to explain how I was able firstly to forget my password and now the birthday I gave... well, I was certainly too happy top get my phone, I did everything in a hurry and forgot it directly, first timer it happen to me. :( well I guess I don't really need to have those login as my phone has it in its memory and if I do a reset or flash some new rom, I well still be able to create a new account...but it's quite disturbing, I find : I know I have an account, my phone is linked with it, but I'm unable to access my account xD

Btw, it has been little over one hour that I began surfing on the web using my phone through my wifi network and it's (the phone)now under 35% of remaining battery and the back it's really really hot... It's abnormal, isn't it ? :eek:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Original Android <3ers!:
I'm really looking forward to this feature. Both of the Nexus S phones have it, and I'm hoping we get it in either a OTA from Sprint/Samsung for Gingerbread, or from CyanogenMod or other ROMs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviee7:
WE don't have the hardware for NFC built into our phones, but there is NFC sdcards.
[HTC Inspire 4G] speedfreak228:
i read that At&t started to allow the htc inspire to use the amazon update, with some sort of update. my wife bought an inspire two days ago and she cant get it to work. we just did a htc update and still no allowing of non market apps. i have the infuse and mine will do it right out of the box. thanks for the help
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Askaba:
I think you have to call att and ask for them to give you the update...that's at least how I've heard you can get the update.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I assume you have verified under settings > applications to see whether or not you have the "unknown sources" option, and if it is there, that is is checked.

If it's not there then, as mentioned, you'll have to call ATT to get them to push it to the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] speedfreak228:
yea i already checked. thanks for the help:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] speedfreak228:
do yall know the name of the update? at&t do not know what im talking about
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
It's the "sideloading update", or you can say it's the update that allows you to install 3rd party applications that aren't on the Android Market. If the AT&T wireless rep still doesn't know what you're talking about, then they are an untrained moron and you should ask to be transferred to someone else.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
You just described 98% of ATT employees.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
+1
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
LOL!!! 10chars
[HTC Inspire 4G] speedfreak228:
been on the phone with at&t for 20 minutes now and they are still trying to figure it out
[HTC Inspire 4G] 1.18.12:
That's when you ask for their boss
[HTC Inspire 4G] speedfreak228:
ya now the imei isnt in there system to push the update too. just purchased it monday from at&t.

edit: well they found the imei number
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Or just root the phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] dj sampson:
The rep I talked to called HTC whom in return told him the update wasn't available yet for this phone. So I just rooted the phone using bubby's method. That opened up the 3rd party unknown sources.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
What a bunch of clueless people LOL. It was widely reported a month ago on tech sites like Engadget and HTC's own forum.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Indeed. Not only that, but my parents both have bone stock inspires, and I checked their phones out of curiosity, and sure enough, they have "unknown sources" now.

Keep in mind, they don't have a friggin clue what it does, or that anything even changed on their phone.

Kinda funny how clueless parents get it without even asking for it, and the people desparate for it have to call up att. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] speedfreak228:
ya lol. i finally got att to send the update. bunch of clueless people
[HTC Inspire 4G] viiralvx:
Just ask them to push the Sideloading update to your phone. If they don't know what they are doing, then their customer support must be terrible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] usachftp:
your welcome :) works on my att inspire 4g. it will prompt for update. the update works without issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thekidkid32:
So there are people who have had success with att doing this then huh? I've called 3 different reps and no one could find anything. This is for my girlfriend's phone who does not want it rooted but one of the main selling points over the atrix was having the appstore.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
Try their online chat support, I called and they said they pushed it to me and it failed, then I used the online support and it worked...

And then a few days later I rooted my phone so I wouldn't have to worry about this crap anymore.
[HTC Inspire 4G] devind4207:
I gave up after 13 attempts using online chat and calling in. I rooted this past weekend and couldnt be happier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] niezek:
I wonder if the update still floats around and will eventually make it to stock Roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
Not really necessary to root the Inspire to get sideloading. Mine has sideloading without root and without the update. All that is needed is a Google account for a rooted phone...maybe a friends phone...and then allow the Google account to backup any sideloaded apps and system settings. Then sign into that Google account with the Inspire and it will restore the settings and allow sideloading.

You'll have to do this from a fresh start on the Inspire, though.
[A7 General] Xarksir:
Hi everybody, forgive me if this has already been answered, but I'm trying to tether my cell phone Samsung B7610 with my new A7, it's possible?

Can some help me with this? thanks!! ;)
[A7 General] fosselman:
It should be possible if your phone can do wifi or bluetooth tethering. Have you tried http://www.wmwifirouter.com/
[A7 General] Xarksir:
I already try with this one, using trial version, maybe I have to try again!.

Thanks a lot!
[A7 General] ninetoes49:
If you are running dexters mod 1.4 you have to also use the adhoc fix for your a7 to see the phone. Do a search on adhocfix.zip. then rename it to update.zip put on the root of your micro sd card and install like you would a dexter mod. then it should see it.
[HTC Sensation] duongnt:
Hi all,

My 6 days old Sensation (Vodafone contract UK) discharge a huge amount during Standby (200-350mA). I got the number via Battery Widget Pro 1.65. For the first few days I did deplete the battery fully before charging it to full. Today I have factory reset it to the original condition at around 4pm with 58% battery full. Now at 9pm, it is only 18%. During this time, I spent about 1 hour with the phone, the rest is standby. I set the widget to monitor with 1 minute interval and when looking at the log file, it can be seen that the phone consumed from 200-400mA during the standby time. Coming from HD2 with Android modded 3-8mA standby consumption, this is a huge huge dissapoinment!

Is this because of my battery or is this my phone? Should I ask for a replacement? What about you, did you see similar pattern?

Thanks,

Duong
[HTC Sensation] KT:
Ditto!! So annoyed since I too am coming from HD2 where HyperDroid's consumption had dropped to a flat 2mA in standby. This is insane for a native android device. Not to mention the heating while playing games and most importantly, the front facing camera producing upside down image during fring video chats.. grrr!

Dunno what the cause OR solution is (besides switching over to a custom rom if and when the BL gets unlocked and people like pongster develop for this device)...

Overall, sexy device but disappointed with such major holes left unattended.. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] KT:
A little offtopic but was a battery related questions and did not wanna start a new thread so posting here -

Does anybody know of if there's any app which can get the battery percent to show in the top bar instead of the default indicator?

Thanks

EDIT: neva mind... found it... everybody's allwoed 1 dumb post once in a while ;)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
something is keeping your phone awake, you need to figure out what it is.
[HTC Sensation] KT:
Any ideas on how I can do that? I tried using current widget but I guess because it's not rooted, current widget showed me a log of 0mA all throughout (yeah rite! hehe)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
when I figure it out myself I'll let you know.

Current things I found that killed my battery over night: VTOK & Google Latitude
[HTC Sensation] omario117:
I went into Settings --> About Phone --> Battery --> Battery Use and checked, and it says display is eating most of my battery.

As far as mine, I get about 12 hours of battery life with standard usage, with the display eating most of the life, so if you're saying the screen is off, you might get different results...
[HTC Sensation] r3v0Lut10n:
over my 8h sleep battery dropped like 10%, nothing special (count in : wifi on, sync with gmail, weather) guys. new phone, fresh unoptimized kernel and radio. it'll get better. my prev phone (desire) was like sh*t at beginning in relating to its current spec rom ... and btw for checkin consuption : system panel (not lite), there is monitoring and u can see which apps running again if ya shoot them, check sync-s etc. :) many many thing to do, hard to tell in a single post :)
[HTC Sensation] KT:
well it certainly sounds like a part of it is specimen issue.. here's my latest experience... last few times i have let it completely discharge and then charge back while the phone was off so i dont mess with it... once 100% charged, i switched the phone on and received a call.. a 25 minute conversation ate away 15% of my battery... LOL...

then, (now it gets better)... in 2 hrs of standby, the phone was at 60% which means it lost another 15% battery in 2 hrs of "standby".. im not sure if i can even call that state a "standby" anymore...

anyways... im wondering if its worth pinning hopes on rom development on our forum or should i just return this and go with something like nexus S which, O well, I can live with... atleast it has a 3300mA batterypack available... what's the use of kickass speeds and features if i have to use a phone like a desktop.. ;)
[HTC Sensation] jawang26:
Hey, I have pretty bad battery drain during stand by as well I recommend trying to adjust the sync accounts, esp HTC hub and how often it updates that should improve it...I have a bunch of HTC widgets set up so im suspecting that being the reason for battery drain during stand by also adjust your email update setting accordingly. Every little bit helps!
[HTC Sensation] JohannFaust:
Battery gauge stuck at 100%

Another one slightly off topic - but why start another battery thread.

It is the second day with my Sensation, and since I took the phone off the charger this morning, the battery gauge has been stuck at 100%. All other apps reading the battery status (e.g. Battery Widget) show the same number. I rebooted the phone multiple times, replaced the battery - nothing - permanent 100%. Has anyone had a similar experience? Did I get a perpetuum mobile :)?

BTW the readings were fine yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] duongnt:
Yes, the rating will go downhill pretty quick after that. Mine behaves in the same way. :(
[HTC Sensation] KT:
Thanks for the pointer.. I will surely try that and see if it makes a difference..

That being said, call me crazy but it just occurs to me that HTC should be putting in some minimal efforts to check off basic quirks like battery consumption and QC. I mean all of us are spending a buttload of money on these devices year over year and then we rely on our devs here to give us basic functionality. Back in the days the reason people joined forums was to tweak devices.. Now it almost feels like we might as well expect only the hardware for the price we pay... disappointed!

Anywho... :)
[HTC Sensation] AznJohn22:
I fully charged the phone before I went to bed last night. Eight hours later, the battery is at 10%. Is there something wrong with the battery?
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Try using the Spare Parts app to see what's really using the battery in detail.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rhenia:
# as the topic says

root(at)DELL104# does someone know what does it mean?

samsung galaxy s

Kernel:

2.32.9-perf root (at) DELL104#

yes, i know its the kernelversion, but what does (at)root mean? its a stock phone with a stock kernel.

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ol1ver:
root is the username used to compile the kernel

DELL104 is the name of the PC used to compile the final kernel on.

It was probably a DELL :) and machine number 104 or something the like.

The only thing to say is that it's 'bad' is that they compiled it as root, should have been possible as a user I'd think, even so, they could have used a nicer hostname :) android@samsung for example would have been interesting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaywiTT:
So I rooted my tf using nvflash, installed the 1.4 prime US version, then installed the clemsyn-blades version 8a kernel. In the beginning, everything was fine. Overclock my TF to 1.6ghz and everything was running smoothly. recently, installed the clemsyn newest kernel version 11. Installation went smoothly but the next day I started to notice my tf freezing. I had to reboot a few times because it keeps freezing. then when I check SetCPU, I notice my cpu cannot reach 1.6ghz no more. I set the governor to performance and still can't hit 1.6ghz, only 1.4ghz. I reinstall everything all over again but still show the same results. Does this mean there's something wrong with my cpu?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
try cpu master. if that don't work maybe your rd just can't bangle 1.6
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
Hi, i installed this rom and i now find that my wifi hotspot doesn't work a lot of the time anymore. anyone else experienced this or know any resolutions?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
that rom is old and buggy I wouldn't use that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
which rom are most people using currently then? got a link?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1oh4zard:
Try CyanogenMod 7 or use Google and install Ultimate Droid Mod 3.3.0. If you prefer the HTC UI called Sense UI you could use Virtuous Rom. If you prefer the "iPhone"-Style (please dont punish me for that xD) you could use a MIUI rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
thanks for this. ive just installed cyanogenmod 7. it's the one by xboarder56 yes?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
xboarder's rom is built from CM7 source, but isn't CM7 itself. still, it is new and if you like it, it should work better than GV1.5 in terms of bugs.

be on the lookout for a gingervillain update sometime in the future, though. I've been waiting for a loooong time for 2.0 to roll out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
and you think the new GV will be better than CM7?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Use PyroMod 2.3.4. TeamVillain abandoned GV months ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
using a different rom and still having problems with wifi hotspot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
when GV 1.5 came out, in my humble opinion, it was the best aosp rom available. not sure when we will see an update, but when we do I don't doubt that it will be pretty slick.

not sure why you say that, russell just got a job.. give the man a break. I'm sure there will be more coming from him as he adjusts to his new schedule. may not be for the vision but we can port it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
Try xboarder56's new one he just updated it I'm using that or try iceandfire nightly #2
[Desire General] 808Dave:
*Edit...Darn just noticed this was in the HTC Desire forum* Can't find an option to move it**

I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed but I've searched and searched. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or maybe there just isn't an app like this for Android.

What I'm looking for is a note taking app with similar functions to the ipad app called soundnote (soundnote.com) or even audionote (luminantsoftware.com/iphone/audionote)

These apps allow you to record audio and sync it with typed or handwritten notes. When you select a typed or handrwitten note or drawing it jumps to that portion of the audio.

I'm an architect and this type of app is invaluable for meetings, and seminars.

I hate having an android phone (Evo) and tablet (Sammy Galaxy 10.1) yet having to borrow the office's ipad to do this ;).

Acer Recovery Installer from the app store says it is a brainless install of CWM for our device. Has anyone had any luck using it to install Primee or any other ROM?
[Acer Iconia A500] Jomppe:
Dunno if right forum but works great, I myself installed newest Clockworkmod from sdcard using this. I suggest you download newest version from here. And name it as recovery.img on you sdcard then install that one using Acer Recovery Installer

EDIT: Have tested PRIMEE and PICASSO both working great. Ask if you need more help.
[Acer Iconia A500] goder42:
Thanks for the feedback! i am blown away that now with 2 apps, you can have a rooted custom rom on the a500. go devs!

(I was unsure if it went here or apps, mods feel free to move it or kill it entirely.)
[Acer Iconia A500] mapaz04:
Yes it does work!!! Perfectly!!

I used the Acer Recovery Installer and it was SOOO EASY!!! I was able to flash PRIMEE AND the PICASSO ROM's so they do work.

Just FYI though, if your RECOVERY is not able to MOUNT THE SD CARD then try to use another one because it is very touchy... Not even re-formatting makes it recognize it... I dont know if its a limit to the size but I used an 8gb sandisk and it did not recognize, but my 1gb sandisk ran just fine with it... jejeje

Just my 2 cents... jejeje
[Acer Iconia A500] thomas.ross89:
I also have used this to install the PICASSA rom. Very easy! No hassle whatsoever :)
[Acer Iconia A500] lamchei:
I just want to make sure how to get back to stock if I need to send it to repair center. If I backup the old recovery using the recovery install app, and do a full backup using CWM recovery, can I return to stock simply by restore the full backup and the old recovery? Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] thunderkiss65:
lol what is so brainless about it, i have used adb to install through command and used the recovery installer, only difference i seen was the recovery installer was much faster no need to type commands to flash. and the installer makes it simple to roll back if needed :D
[Acer Iconia A500] netarchie:
Even I would like to know the same. I am now on the Prime ROM and have taken the full backup of the existing stock ROM.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Absolutely correct. Do full cwm restore, to get back to stock rom. Then use this app to restore your stock recovery that you backed up. On a side note, if /system/install-recovery.sh in your stock rom is still executable (enabled), then stock recovery will be restored automatically.
[Acer Iconia A500] rg1003:
Rev 1.3.4 Question

Sorry for the noob question but there are two 1.3.4 archive files: update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.3.4.zip and recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.3.4.rar. I downloaded and opened both and while they both contain recovery.img the zip file has the image in a CWM folder.

Does it matter which one I use and do I need to extract recovery.img or simply rename the entire archive to recovery.img?

Thanks for the help...
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I'm pretty sure the image in both are the same (correct me if I'm mistaken). The zip is packaged to be run as an update from within clockworkmod. Whereas the rar file just as the image for you to flash manually (or with Acer Recovery Installer), which now has 1.3.4 built-in.
[Acer Iconia A500] rg1003:
It looks like images contained in the files are the same (same file size anyway). Moot point now since as you pointed out the new version has 1.3.4 built in - but thanks for taking the time to respond.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rana1:
Bit of a noob questions, would i still need to root my iconia for this to work?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Yes... can't do any major customization w/o root.
[Acer Iconia A500] demmo81:
guys when im trying to make a full back up its giving error while backing up the data file i donno but when its done im checking the folder its showing data around 6 mb image file and recovery, system more than 370 mb

so is it ok if i made restore or it will give error ? ?

thanks...
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Are you backing up to the micro sd or the usb? I was getting an error backing up data to usb. Not sure why it would have a problem, but I was only able to do a backup to micro sd.
