[Galaxy S I9000 General] guy7685:
I'm using SpeedMod t23.

I already converted my phone using:

advanced speedmod->conv. filesystems to EXT4

advanced speedmod->convert SYSTEM filesystem->reboot

convert to EXT4

and both went fine.

I wanted to change my ROM, so I had to change back to RFS, so I did:

advanced speedmod->conv. filesystems to RFS

advanced speedmod->convert SYSTEM filesystem->reboot

BUT now it didnt ask me if I want to convert the SYSTEM to RFS,

and now I dont know if my system is RFS again... I guess its not.

how can I change the SYSTEM filesystem to RFS again?

is it a known bug?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] guy7685:
I found a workaround solution...

after advanced speedmod->convert SYSTEM filesystem

->Go Back-> advanced CWM-> Reboot recovery

only then it will work...

I cant post about this problem in speedmod's Dev page, so if one of you guys/girls want to...

its funny how things get along after you post a question...

[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
My phone insurance expires today since I cancelled it (£9.99 pm, damage, theft, etc) as I was going to change to a slightly better deal at £8.99. I do have two backup phones, HTC diamond and HTC artemis if I need them. With the monthly expense and £30 excess in the event of a claim or £60 excess if I claim twice within 6 months, is it still really important to insure it?

The other thing is, if my phone is lost or stolen, what would happen to all my contacts and calendar backups on google calendar and google contacts once I cancel the phone/sim card, as I won't then have an android phone to access them.

For that reason, I suppose it makes it more important to have insurance so I can get a replacement android phone, ie, the SGS2 again?

I guess I'm almost answering my own questions, but would like to know how importantly some of you take insurance.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Stand the bet myself .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
What does that mean?
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
the google info you can access online without a phone if necessary. having insurance isn't enough. you need insurance that will actually pay out when you need it and not have stupid claused that negate every possibility of when you'll need to make a claim
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
You can Use Samsung Dive to clear your stuff if lost or stolen, and your google contacts are safe in google account which you can access through pc as well.

I never liked insurance, as now you can remote wipe phones if lost

Samsung has - Samsung Dive

HTC has - HTC sense.com

WP7 - has a similar one as well via Zune I think

Apple - has via Itunes is it
[Galaxy S II General] RoBz18:
got a 24 month contract with my sgs2, so yeah insured
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Insurance is a bet £500 to whatever the payment is .In your case £120 a year .

Rather than spend the £120 i stand the risk myself mainly due to price for the amount risked far to high .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
So if I wipe the phone, you're saying I can still access all my calendar appointments and contacts so I can at least type them into my old windows 6.1 phones?

Is samsung dive some free app I need to download?

And finally, are you saying that you personally wouldn't be that bothered about not having insurance to be able to give you a replacement £500 SGS2 in the event of losing it?

My contract is 18 months and my next upgrade is nov 10th next year. I'm trying to decide if I could happily live without a replacement SGS2 and just go back to my diamond til my next upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
all your data is there in "the cloud" and accessible online. log into your gmail and all the links are there.

i'd have insurance for the loss of the phone but just be wary. most are essentially scams as they cover you in insanely weird in what they pay out on
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
Cool.

Well, the insurance company I'm considering are the ones T-Mobile, my carrier, use. £8.99 a month, only minimum 3 month contract, £60 excess for first month, £30 for following months, £60 excess if 2 claims in 6 months. Not tied to any contract, no even after I claim. The insurance I just cancelled tied me to 18 months contract in the event of a claim, hence why I cancelled them. So, based on that info, would you say that's a reasonable deal?
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
nope.

very few are decent. some have clauses that dont cover for when you leave a phone in a public place, or in a location not covered by the manufacturer. so if you leave it on a train, or put it in the washing machine - neither are covered :)

heard the O2 one is decent
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
I cancelled the insurance that got bundled with my contract.and registered my phone with my bank account(natwest) which offers me free mobile insurance. Nit sure if every type of bank account offers that though.
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
Ah, thanks for reminding me of bank insurance. Yeah, I'd completely forgotten that my bank, barclays, had given me a leaflet on phone insurance. It says 'this policy is provided as a benefit of you being a qualifying account holder'. I wonder if that means it's free? They let me have 2 claims a year. The policy comes into effect 7 days after registration. I'll check it out at the bank tomorrow, I might be saving myself a bunch of money!

edit: right then, I rang the barclays number and got a very helpful bunch of replies from the man. He said I need to open the new account which costs £5 a month to keep open, and that £5 includes the insurance. He said it would be the same for for you and your nat west account, that your free insurance is based on paying to keep an account open. Everything else I asked him got favourable replies so I'm gonna go ahead and do that tomorrow when I pop into the bank. Can't go too far wrong at £60 a year.
[Galaxy S II General] David Roosendaal:
I have insurance on mine.... at $20 per year I could not refuse to go for it.

Where from? www.anwb.nl for peeps in The Netherlands :)

Only downside:they do a linear % write-off to $0 in 3 years, and when it's worth less than 50% - so after approx 18 months- I would not get a full refund if lost or stolen (or broken), but the calculated %. But in a year and a half I won't mind anyway.

Not that I have ever broken or lost a phone, but at 525 euro these SGS2's are a bit expensive not to have insurance for it....

[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:
Fantastic idea, but (maybe its just me) it has a conceptual flaw.

A text message is not a phone call. There's nothing stopping me from letting a text message sit there without a reply if I'm busy. It doesn't ring for as long as a phone call, and quite honestly, if it's not urgent enough to call about instead of texting you, it's not urgent enough for you to put aside your current obligation and respond.

Anyone experienced this lag before and solved it? I reverted to Touchwiz interface and it was buttery smooth, so I don't think it's a firmware issue

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario.omnia:
Hi everybody,

I'd just like to ask a question about HTC Desire camera flash problem of mine.

Whenever I take pictures in the dark and use flash, my pictures coe out half dark or totally dark.

Has anayone been expiriencing these kind of problems and possibly found a fix for it.

Currently I'm using the latest WWE oficial ROM for my Desire.

I have been experimenting with custom ROMs but I reverted to official ROM in waiting of official 2.3 update.

Please send any ifo on the subject cause there isn't a lot out there on the net.

Thanx.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cartus:
after updating to official 2.3 my flash and camera are out of sync too, flash goes before taking picture resulting poor pictures when in dark rooms. any idea how to fix this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padrequart:
I have had the same problem with my wife´s desire and 2.3 update, i did not find any solution so i installed a Froyo RUU again, did root, remove some htc apps and installed Neo´s Kernel.

Now camera and whole Froyo ROM works fine, with very good battery life using set cpu.

But i´d like to know if there is any solution for camera using ginger.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padrequart:
nobody interested?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldace:
I am interested!

So, it seems none of the current Gingerbread kernels solve this issue? This is basically what is keeping me in Froyo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravens97:
I think my HTC Desire running the Leedroid 3.3.3 ROM might be slightly out of sync to, however i still do seem to get good picture quality?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swexican:
Finally I found people with same issue as me! I've been looking high and low for sollutions to this issue with no luck, but now at least I found this thread :)

I've had this issue since the Froyo update if I remember right, updated to official Gingerbread with hopes that it would get solved, and ended up rooting phone and installing Cyanogen 7.1 and nothing... still same problem. Flash goes off, and shutter closes just a little to late and pictures ends up being to dark.

I will keep on testing a couple of roms and see if someone has fixed it, and if so report back here. Doesn't look like it's a common issue though, as there is no info on the net about it.

-swex
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makinen11:
I've been running Gingerbread since the official update came out and lately the Supernova ROM and just now I realized I never used the Desire to take photos in the dark so I actually never used the flash. That's why you will not find any info about it, we use our smartphones like they are meant to and think crap picture quality is a given :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zumnao:
Same problem here!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swexican:
That's probably the main reason it's not fixed. A lot people doesn't even know it's not working as it should and just expect crappy pictures at night.

Anyways, I tried the camera with Supernova (GB) and Oxygen (GB) and still same problem. I'm gonna test a Froyo based one, but I'm sure I also had this problem with stock Froyo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcardspv:
I've moved back to Leedroid 2.5.0 (Froyo) and the flash works waaaaayy better!

Also, on GB ROMs, I found that audio and video were recorded out of sync unless the videocamera resolution was set to 640x480 (VGA) or lower. On Leedroid 2.5.0, it records fine when set to 800x480 (WVGA) as well.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swexican:
Hmm, I just installed a GB based ROM (Oxygen) on a friends Desire and the flash works perfectly, so maybe it's not software related? But some of you say it gets fixed going back to Froyo so that's weird... Maybe there are small differences between Desire editions?

Checking out my friends Desire I just realised it's not the flash being out of sync, it's just that my second flash never goes off. I only get the pre-flash and then it takes the picture without the second flash. Very frustrating!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcardspv:
My mistake man, I should have said its GB sense Roms that have the problem. GB aosp roms tend not to.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] averelgr:
I have the same problem.. Very dark photos in dark rooms with sense 3.0-3.5 roms.. Not with cm7 rom.... Why this is happenig is matter of rom or kernel?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcardspv:
No idea, but for the forseeable future we have to accept it as an inevitability when using any sense ROM with Android 2.3 or higher. Unfortunately.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swexican:
Well, for me it also happens with Oxygen 2.3.1 and CM 7.1 so in my case it's not a matter of using Sense. Maybe I have a different hardware problem then... or something broken
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorofroozo:
Hello,

I got my Defy a few weeks ago and was looking to run CM on it. But I want to be sure to be able to return to stock froyo.

I have wiped my phone and made a nandroid backup but I read in the 'CM FAQ' I'd still need a fixed sbf if I want to return my phone back to stock. I've been googling for a few hours but can't seem to understand how to create a sbf file for my phone. And the sbf I need doesn't seem to be available on the forum.

Can you guys help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot

while it is U3_3.4.2_179-2, it is not called "JOREM", instead it is the "JRDNEM" version. And an USA version at that. Intresting, when searching for these words the search comes up empty. Probably filtered because it whould give to many hits, sadly I don't know what it means now... any pointers? We are certain this version will get me back to a stock motorola defy which I could bring back to the shop for repair?

Taking this in consideration I believe I need to backup my baseband, on the other hand, cm7 has a lot of them preinstalled, i suppose the uk baseband should work in Belgium considering this post. To be certain I send a pm with a backup of my baseband to Sqoerk, the translator of the "basebandswitcher".
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hso3f:
Hi,

I also need this sbf, it would be great if someone could share it!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [] AL []:
OK, I'll try to clarify this for you but your question is not clear.

IF you have Froyo already and it is your stock rom, you will not need a fixed sbf to keep your "downgradability" if you choose to try CM7. But careful if you decide to try the leaked GB rom or any other newer 2.2 sbf (like the nordic one recommended for CM7).

In fact, I would suggest you to try CM7 (RC1v2) over your stock Froyo first: don't bother flashing nordic sbf.

If your stock sbf is eclair or if you want to try leaked GB, then yes you will need to find a fixed sbf first.

Follow the CM7 FAQ starting at root, reboot, install sndInit v1.4.2 (and don't forget to turn off usb debugging before tje 2 reboots), wipe and factory reset (IN CUSTOM RECOVERY) and finally install cm7 and google apps from there too.

I'm sure that you will find a working baseband in CM7; no need to copy anything in this regard. But setting 'Defy Baseband Switcher' IS the first thing to do after installation. If you don't battery wont last, hot phone and bad or no signal reception...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali0304:
