Learn basic Java first. It's easy to play with Android developing when you have some knowledge in Java.

Android have Java and XML, so if you know Java all you need to learn is the XML which is easier because there's no logic in it.
[Android Software Development] AndroidGraphix:
You could also start by theming ROM's. That's where I have started and it's a lot of fun. I've put together a comprehensive "how to" page to get anyone started.

Just an update, I just started learning Java today because I've been busy with other things, and I'm actually liking it so far :) After that I'll probably do C++ again, I forgot all of it, but knew it once upon a time...

As far as theming goes, I wouldn't mind doing that because it's generally fun, but I would rather spend my time learning how to develop first :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss0mohit:
It'll receive/send texts perfectly fine (well, it'll give me an error but it still sends it).

It happens so often, it starts to get frustrating.

Does this happen to anyone, if it does, any help?

(If it helps, I'm running BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3).

I can't use the phone function most of the time. When this happens, I usually have to do a battery pull, or a soft reset. Usually when I do a data wipe, it fixes the problem.

But how can I stop this problem from happening and make my phone reliable again?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
You never explained exactly what it is that's happening that is making your phone unusable. How does it not send/receive calls?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss0mohit:
sorry for the clarity.

but basically when I receive calls, they go straight to voicemail.

when dialing an outgoing call, it won't ring and the phone will say "call was lost", even when I have full service.

Have you try on stock rom and does data work ?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss0mohit:

I have been running bamf 1.8.6 and the leaked mr2 for about a week and average battery life is a day I would say. Last night I flashed the official MR2 radio hosted here. Great signal. Gps didn't lock as fast as some said but still faster than before. I went to bed with 90% battery and woke up 6 hours later with 29% wth?
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
i had about a 20% drop overnight, a bit more than usual but nothing too bad. ill test today after a full charge and calibration. i will say this update locks 4g fast and my signal is stronger.
[Thunderbolt General] str1der_D:
my battery is sucking after official radio too. running CM7. gonna flash back to mr2 leak until the guys release an update hopefully with the new radio.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
what update? the devs do not mod or create the radio's.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
No issues here.. I feel like I have a real cell phone now.

Ive got about 14 hours of uptime right now with 45% battery left. I have mobile data always on, screen on auto-brightness, and gmail and weather syncing. Ive actually used the phone a bit also for surfing and a lot of texting.
[Thunderbolt General] TheOnlyOne93:
the offical radio is the update. Mr2 leak is no longer supported or needed. It was canned by verizon. Radio version 1.39.00.0627 is the offical OTA MR2 radio
[Thunderbolt General] DaRkL3AD3R:
Here's what needs to be done:

1) Charge phone to 100%

2) Delete battery stats in CWM

3) Drain battery till phone shuts off

4) Charge to 100% again

5) Drain battery till phone shuts off

After step 5 you should be fully calibrated. Now if after doing this you still feel the battery is draining faster than before, then you can safely say you're seeing the adverse affects of flashing the official MR2.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Battery life after flashing a radio always sucks. You have to give it several days to adjust.
[Thunderbolt General] dmw_4814:
My Thunderbolt says, under Software information>Baseband version:

1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r

Is having both those numbers normal, or should it just say 1.39.00.0627r?

Dennis
[Thunderbolt General] DaRkL3AD3R:
The first one is the 3G radio and the second one is the LTE I believe. Might be vice versa but thats the reasoning behind having 2 basebands.
[Thunderbolt General] BryanB32:
I also noticed that I won't switch up to LTE even when in a LTE area. If I put it in LTE only mode it will lock on immediatly and strong.
[HTC Sensation] baks:
Hi,

I am aware that they have been one or two threads a while ago relating to this issue.

I bought a Sensation a week agao and the only issue I had with it was the appalling voice quality, I could hear a 'shhh' sound in the background all the time especially when I increased the volume.

The issue I ave is that I have now returned the fault believing it to be an isolated problem with a couple of the handsets HTC shipped out but the seller has confirmed that he has tested a few of the phones and the same issue is apparent.

I wanted to confirm whether itis that bad for every Sensation user or is it in fact only a few of us who have the issue?

I noweither have the option of a refund or ask for another Sensation handset and hope that it won't have the same issue.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Mad_Wolf:
I have the same issue exactly the same issue...

And I cannot decide what to do...

Not the refund the voice issue :)
[HTC Sensation] baks:
Surely it cannot be that bad for everyone?
[HTC Sensation] baks:
Late reply.

I replaced the handset and the sound is perfect.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keil.:
Hi,

So i see this light in front , of the phone , on the top in this video at 5.09 min

http://youtu.be/_1gfr8vu4PM?t=5m

and think i seen this in a video on Pocketnow for a short time too ?

So i know there is no Notification Light normally in the front , but

what´s we seen here ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
It's the proximity-sensor. It emits infra-red light that reflects from your cheek when having it up against your ear. This turns off the screen.

The SGS2 has no notification light. Only camera's can pick up the infra-red light, that's what you saw. In some occasions I have seen it with my bare eyes. Very weird though.

Edit: I remember when I saw it. There is a lockscreen app that allows you to unlock the phone using 'The Force'. When you turn on the screen, the proximity sensor lights up at full-power, making you able to see it I guess. Then when moving your hand over your phone in Jedi fashion, it unlocks the screen.

Ok Thanks for your answer
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:

FIRST, PLEASE PUT FUTURE QUESTIONS IN THE GENERAL FORUM !!!!!!!

Now for your question -

Pull out your phone's battery. Re-insert it.

Then, holding the volume down key, switch it back on. Once it switches on, you'll see a white screen with text on it. Then release the volume down key.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Why shout? The question is already answered, chill out.
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.A Blet:
Hi,

Got a notification that I only got 8.5 Mb left on my memory!!

That seemed a bit weird to me cause I hadn't many movies on my tab.

And I have only added a few apps.

I checked out Storage under Settings.

Media 5.32 GB (I deleted a movie)

Applications 7.52 GB :eek:

That can't be right!!

When I click Applications and select All a list appears with the Applications.

Now way that all adds up to 7.52 GB!

I checked the browser cache but that was not the cause.

Any ideas what's causing this and how can I get rid off this crazy number.

It can't be right.

TIA

10.1v still on 3.0.1 :mad::(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snaai8:
since the application limits in size has been altered it is possible that your tab has that ammount of applications.

A good example would ben asphalt 6 or something, they most of the time require alternate downloads that can add up to 600 mb per application.

Could you post a list with your current installed applications?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.A Blet:
It lists from top the bottom decreasing sizes.

At the top I have Google Earth 104 Mb

Maps 103 Mb

Aldiko Reader 17.13 Mb

Adobe Flash Player 10.3 11.96 Mb

MoboPlayer 8.77 Mb

Music 7.45 Mb

Gallery 7.20 Mb

Find Differences (Game) 6.88 Mb

MoboPlayer Codec 6.78 Mb

QuickOffice 6.30 Mb

After that only apps with sizes under 5 Mb (About 60 of them from 5 MB to 0 MB)

No way that adds up to 7.65 GB
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:

Looks like you ran out of RAM, not storage.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
try clearing cache of high resource seeking apps like google earth,market, google maps, browser etc. Try applications>all>and check the cache size for each :eek: (hectic but worth a try)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.A Blet:
I recreated the notification by adding a couple of movies to my tab.

It said "Low on Space"

Text by clicking said "Tablet Storage Space is getting low"

Settings/Storage

Internal Storage

Total 14.12 GB

Media 6.58 GB

Applications 7.52 GB !!!!!!!!

Available 22.27 MB

Applications Top 5

Maps 108 MB

Earth 104 MB

Aldiko Reader 17.13 MB

Adobe Flashplayer 10.3 11.96 MB

Gallery 10.77 MB

After that the size goes rapidly from under 10 MB to under 1 MB.

I checked cache of all applications listed but found nothing disturbing, rather small sizes actually.

Browser cache was 25 MB for instance.

So I really don't know where that 7.52Gb is coming from.

I had only 22.27 MB left and tried to copy another movie to see if it would overrule "the limit" but it didn't, it said I couldn't add more because of the low space.

So this is really a problem if applications take up more than half of the flashmemory.

The only thing I can probably do is to restore the tab to factory settings.

I'll be waiting until the 3.1 update arrives, if it arrives. :D

Suggestions are welcome though.

TIA

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.A Blet:
Oooooooooh,

By restarting you mean to turn it off and on again.

Mine doesn't do that, it remains at 7.52GB

*****

By rom manager you mean the clockworkmod from the market.

I have checked out the free version but I understand your tab has to be rooted.

Mine isn't.

It also said when Samsung you have to download something from xda-forum!

I like to know more about it, I am really not up to date in that field.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
Copy the folders on sd card you reckon important as backup on your pc or any container manually, format the sdcard.:D

OR

The rooting process involves saving the ***.zip file(with the root tools) into sd card, booting into recovery, applying update.zip from sd card and reboot thus you are good to go. For the zip file and details

http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2054

INSTRUCTIONS

Go into command window> typing cmd in START>RUN

Direct to the drive and address containing the adb.exe file, eg

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\

adb push su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-061611.zip /sdcard/ (you can manually push the zip file into root of sdcard from windows XP etc hence this command not required)

adb reboot recovery ( this perhaps works on 3.0 versions but not 3.1)

volume down to apply update from /sdcard

select .zip

hit power to select

scroll down to apply, and apply.

after flash, reboot

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
Well, I suggested you to ,make a folder in your pc drive, copy files from tab' sd card which seem important, mainly those of your movies,music,pics and installed applications than format the sdcard mounted on pc! There seem to be some bad file clusters on the sd card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSippler:
I accidently wiped my memory and it wasn't backed up. I can 'undelete' these files if I can only attached my phone to the PC as an external drive to read the internal memory.

Is there anyway to do this. At the moment my SGS, when I plug it in, it basically comes up as a mobile device in Windows. I need it to come up as an external device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
How did you wipe? With CWM, a code in the dialer or with Odin (Re-partition)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSippler:
Well, I used re-partition, but my personal files was still on my internal storage, so then I used the phone's factory reset and it erased everything. There was one file I need that I forgot to backup.

You can also use Root Explorer, go into /system, search Swype and delete the two files that come up. That was the only way I was able to get Swype Installer to work.

I suppose SIM-unlock is a hack, so i decided to post it here. apologies if i'm mistaken.

Anyway, i was shocked to find out that SIM-unlocking voids the warranty. I know it shouldn't have surprised me that much, but it did. So now i'm left with a 3 months old phone with no warranty.

Is there a way to remove the SIM-unlock, or better put, to lock it again to a specific operator so if i ever do need some repair to be done, my service provider does not refuse my warranty?

the phone is Omnia 7. the operator i originally puchsed it from is t-mobile croatia.

The one solution to unlock your cell phone for all networks is to enter on ebay.com and buy unlock code. Just type in search field: Your phone model unlock code.

After payment they will provide you sim unlock key.

SIM locking is by your mobile provider T-scum not Samsung and when you go to service you go to Samsung in Dubrava not to T-scum
