[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashy7:
Hi All,

My question is how do you organise movies and TV shows into separate folders in the media app.

I currently have a separate TV shows and movies folder on the SD card, but the video app just lists everything, rather than separating them into the folders I put them in.

Is there a way of organising the videos into folders, or is there a media app that I can do that with?

Cheers

Hi fellas, YEAH !! I"m just a nob :-)

I just bought my first Android Phone, yes....left behind my Iphone 3GS to get into the Real Game now ! ;-)

So, would you people help me know a bit more about this? I need to know how to upgrade my HTC Inspire 4G, from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4

Thanks all of you beforehand,

RUben.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
At this point, root is the only way. View the stickie, as it has the two root methods, and read read read. Start with reading the root method threads and decide which you want to go with. The key is, don' t be in a hurry to root until you have a fair understanding of what you will be doing.

[HTC Inspire 4G] rubendleon:
Oh Thanks !! Well, I know the root process is the fact that being gaining admin access within the device, in order to make any kind of changes at the kernel level or anything else right ?

Now, my device is unlocked, that necessary means it's also rooted ?

Thanks,

Ruben
[HTC Inspire 4G] rubendleon:
Oh Thanks! and Yeah, that was the first post I'd read when I came into this cool website... The thing is, the guide is amazing, and those two ways to root the device seems great !! it's just that, what else after that ? I'm talking about being upgrading to Gingerbread, let's think the bases are ready (rooted, flashed, unlocked..) so then what ? :( should I download something and use some king of soft to upgrade my Inspire ? You know, I know all about Iphone and the way to jailbreak and unlock and upgraded and so on, but NOTHING about android.. as I said, I'm just starting.. :D Thanks a lot for all the advises... And SORRY for being posting this on the wrong thread!

Thanks,

Ruben,
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Upon reading it, did you miss the part about flashing a rom? Since you want Gingerbread you will need to instal one. Hence the how to instal a rom portion.

The Inspire forums have many subforums. one of them is the dev forum. This would be your next reading material. But I suggest you read the guide again. Good luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rubendleon:
Oh.. I got it !! The flashing process is basically the installation of a "firmware" into the phone, which would be in this case a gingerbread. :)

Thanks !
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
There are quite a few good GB Roms available. I prefer Pure so I use an AOSP Gingerbread rom, but there are sense ones too.

See My Sig and many other users here for their personal set ups. And of Couse I stress the reading. Te Dev forum has so much.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Rom/kernel = gingerbread or whatever (froyo, etc.)

Though there obviously hasn't been an official inspire gingerbread release, what you'll find in the dev section has been modified as required from the gingerbread release for the desire hd, pretty much the same phone.

There's a lot of them. Most of the newer ones are based on gingerbread.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] anon1ski:
Am going to pick up a SK4G in a little bit and was wondering from our community the general conscensus on how you guys feel about it?

I'm coming from a MT4G, which I am extremely happy with, the way I have it set-up. Any one also have both and maybe a comparison? (not the obvious of course like "the screen is smaller", etc., I've been around a bit, I know a tad about a couple things =] )

I've noticed it doesnt have as crazy as a following as some of the other androids, but that doesnt mean theres no good development going on!

Let me know if you dont mind.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
I came from the mt3gs and a VM optimus v afterwards. I wanted the mt4g for the specs. But I couldn't do all touch typing. I found keyboards to help. But it's just not the same as a physical qwerty.

I'm the kind of guy who likes to buy phone 2-4x a year. Maybe not the kings of the hill. But mid to high range phones. Of course, it's expensive to do so. I decided to get a phone to last a whole two-year contract. I opted for the s4g. I was due for an upgrade and even waited until launch date for this over a g2 or mt4g.

What won me was obviously the keyboard. You don't see too many 5-rows available. Spec-wise, this phone is just average. Camera dept. is really lacking. Only 3mp. But lack of led flash was the killer. Still, the keyboard was winner. The physical design is nice. I especially liked the sliding mechanism. Half-phone sliders, like the mt3gs, just feel faulty and flimsy. You could pull the halves apart or slide past the closing stop point. Not that an average person would. But I like to conduct stress tests. This mechanism is sturdy. People have dropped plenty times and claim the mechanism is just as sturdy as it was at purchase.

Also, the screen tilt really makes a difference. Using my mt3gs after this makes it really apparent. It makes using a non-tilt screen really hard to adjust back to.

The phone does come with some bugs and issues, which you can read through the forums (I have a thread over at tmo forums and adroid central entitled "bug report and other issues".) However, rooting and getting custom rom Smooth Maximus GingerClone will make the phone a new phone. The speed is fast and lag hardy present. Only minute issues still remain, yet to be resolved.

Overall, especially if you need a physical keyboard, I would suggest this phone. It is highly recommended you get Smooth Maximus for its best value. If all-touch phones didn't bother me I would go for a mt4g, g2, or wait for the mt4gs. But for you, as a backup phone this is an awesome investment. I would wait for the mt4gs, though, just for its specs and future android development.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] enoch861:
I would say don't. You will miss the MT4G. I did the same thing Saturday night. I got rid of it last night. The phone has a nice keyboard and stuff... but the performance of the phone lacks! I mean it has a 1ghz processor and all, but its nowhere near fast as a vibrant.

I would say don't. Because you will be disappointed. If you want a keyboard get the G2 or wait for the myTouch 4G Slide.

3 days after I got the SK4G I traded it immediately and got a Nexus S instead. That phone wouldn't send or receive texts and it also wouldn't call or receive calls until I restarted. But that might have been wifi callings issue though. And if you browse the web a lot then this is not your device since the screen is so small. The only thing I liked about the phone was Cloud Text and the phenomenal keyboard. Although, as all Samsung slider keyboards do, it tends to once in a while not register a key when typing.

The quality of the SK also lacks significantly compared to the myTouch....

Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Listen , you should do a bit research before posting in this thread imo .

It's a 1GHz of course it lack's performance , the Galaxy & SK4G have the same processor & gut's & once you install a custom kernel & ROM you will be fine , there is no Wifi Calling issue & browsing the web is fine , Cloud Text & the keyboard is amazing .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
I don't wanna be bias so I'll give my honest opinion. If you are a power user, don't get this phone. Though it runs a lot more smoothly on a custom root setup, it still has tiny lag, as enoch pointed out it doesn't register all button keyboard presses. The only reason you should get the sk4g is for the keyboard alone. If not then a more powerful phone may satisfy your needs.

If you are a power user, don't get this phone. If you're getting a phone just cause, you can consider this. I love the phone and haven't put it down since. But if this is a main phone for two years on contract, you can get something better.

Lol, I don't mean to contradict my earlier post. I'm not as bias with this one.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] melcali:
i would recommend the sk4g. coming from all-touch smartphones like the nexus one and hd2 running android and the hd7, i am happy with the sidekick 4g. i generally avoided android phones with qwerty keyboards because most are sliders and i hate phones with too much movement.

the droid pro was my dream form factor for an android phone but since i am happy with tmo there was no way i would switch to verizon just for that phone. plus the resolution on the droid pros smaller screen was a turnoff.

the slider on the sidekick 4g is pretty sturdy. the keyboard is awesome. i use my phone a lot for business and the sidekick 4g was the last smartphone on my list. but after comparing to other qwerty androids out there the skg4 seemed to be one of the better.

the camera is only 3m and no led flash. but the quality of the pictures is pretty good for being 3m. depending on what rom i had on my hd2, the sk4g's cam took pics just as good.

the speakerphone is pretty good. better than any htc ive had.(g1, mytouch 3g, hd2, hd7, nexus one).

even though its mostly made of plastic, its pretty durable and not as 'cheap' feeling as some claim it to be. i actually think its one of the more better built phones ive had(besides the hd2).

as for performance, even though it has the same 1GHz hummingbird processor as the galaxy s, tab, etc... it doesnt feel as smooth. most of the lag can be noticed while unlocking, navigating through any custom ui, and switching back to home screen from some apps. but once you are inside of an app it feels just as smooth and snappy as other 1GHz smartphones.

if i were you i'd probably wait until the mytouch 4g slide comes out.. its not too long. im not really digging the mytouch4g/slide's front looks and not liking how the touchscreen is fully exposed on all sides as opposed to the sk4g's screen/slider is protected on two sides.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] enoch861:
I know my phones. I know it technically has the same guts as any Galaxy S phone. But I can tell you any Galaxy S phone feels so much more faster than this phone does. I mean I was shocked that the phone didn't perform like a 1ghz device should! I did install Bali with voodoo enabled and that didn't make much difference. While on the vibrant the difference was almost night and day.

And yes I pointed out that Cloud Text and the keyboard are Amazing!

But the phone is just sluggish.

If he is a power user, he needs to look elsewhere because this phone won't suffice your need of power. I mean I found my self restarting the phone every few hours while on my myTouch 4G I never had to restart.

Another thing I should also point out is that battery life isn't the greatest. The phone wasn't lasting me even 8 hours a day (I'm more of a power user). While the myTouch would last me 22+ hours on the Virtuous Unity ROM or 18+ hours on stock. The phone with a keyboard that lasted the longest that I ever owned (android) was the G2 I was getting a solid 36+ hours of use. It was Stunning!!

My suggestion would be wait a few weeks and you can get the myTouch 4G Slide.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
I'm trading my sidekick for a nexus one next week. Unless I change my mind.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] KillJarrod:
I would recommend this phone if you are a hardcore qwerty user like myself. I came from the MT4G and I got this phone through craigslist and I have been satisfied. Is it a high end phone? Maybe if this came out last summer but it does not stop this from being a good phone. Even though the development is not as great as other phones ( I do appreciate the support!) There is not much wrong with this phone. 3 MP is weak for a camera nowadays but it does its job. Is the phone sluggish at times? Sometimes but with the gingerclone rom and bali kernal it has decreased. With more roms in kernals in the future it should change indeed. As for the battery I let the battery die and let it charge completely and no lie got 24+ hours of battery life which consisted of playing Chrono Trigger on my phone (keyboard controller ftw) but as everyone else has been saying if you want value and a 5 row keyboard then sk4g, if you wanna throw some more money and wanna be that suave guy with a fancy phone then please get the mt4gs and tell me how it is ;-)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] enoch861:
Not a good trade. I wouldn't do it.

Try to see if you can get a Nexus S instead.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] The Pope of Dope:
most people who are all hardcore with buying the latest and greatest may disagree. My point of contention is, when your a guy like me who has to keep up with multiple females at any given moment there is no better phone. Simply put, *****es love texting. The only competition we have as far as touch screen texting is the Droid boomerang. I forget the model designation but the thing is ****ing retarded huge. Next up we have the blackberry, but the closed source OS was the major boner killer for me.

With all that said, if you **** *****es, like lots of *****es. There is no better phone. All the other ************s struggle to keep up. I don't know how, but all the females I know get at least 45 WPM out of those ****ing dinosaur Nokia bricks. I can't do that ****, but I do know that with a SK4G I can get 45 WPM+ with nearly 100% accuracy.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
scratching my head....wondering. I have been playing with Root/Unroot, CWR/Stock, trying to be ready when the update does come out....plus, I like being prepared.

I put myself back into the NOT ROOTED, Stock recovery situation. Went pretty easy, +1 for me. I flashed Recovery. It works....yeah....another +1 for me. I'm racking them up.

Without even thinking about it, I booted into recovery and restored a previous backup...from when I was rooted. I'm thinking -1 on this one.

Does that restore ROOT? Is root just a file situation that can be backed up and restored? Ok another -1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wewoapsiak:
No stupid questions :) Just stupid answers. I'm pretty sure that would restore root. Easy way to check though, is Superuser installed? How about Terminal Emulator? Type su in terminal emulator and see if it says # not $. Or download this app: Root Checker from the market.

[Epic 4G Android Development] tobiasly:
Nope I hadn't tried that yet, may give it a go over the weekend but for now reverted to stock. Any idea whether Netflix works with this ROM? What about the overscroll / CRT animations? Really miss those from EE03 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
The zip was messed up. The hierarchy was wrong. I fixed it. Should work now. As far as the CRT and overscroll goes, I haven't seem them for this build and it was't my mod the last time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Det0natoR:
I will definately try this out when I get home! Thanks again for all you do for the epic comunity. One question, and I apologize if it is stupid. I know this says rfs only, but is there any way to convert this to ext4? Your roms have always been of highest quality and exactly what I'm looking for, but the EE03 rom feels really slow and I know it has to do with rfs. I tried the only ef02 ext4 rom I could find and it was fast, but I had too many problems with GPS and other things. Thanks again, and I am autisim aware because of you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
The kernel has to be modded to support ext4. I'm not a kernel guy. I could possibly borrow the bonsai kernel but we all know where that would lead. I think this leak is better then EE03 was. At this point, when the OTA hits EXT4 will be available. However, this still feels pretty quick to me. I don't even use an Epic cause I'm using the Nexus S 4G but have this on my wife's phone and I don't notice much of a difference. I tend to ignore the benchmarks and go with how it feels in the real world.

While this build or leak isn't perfect it does seem pretty solid.

Hi guys anyone using or have used VPN Connections? I have it working in that it connects to my remote VPN, but it appears the nameservers don't get updated. On my Linux box I see my /etc/resolv.conf get updated correctly when I use VPNC, but I dont see a resolv.conf except for wireless tether on the phone.

Anyone know where the nameservers are recorded?

Thanks, Matt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
OK looks like vpnc is setting up the DNS's correctly, but no traffic passes through tun0.

If I "ping -I tun0 x.x.x.x" then I can ping the other end of my VPN, but for some reason tun0 is not used as the default interface.

"ip route show" gives the following at the end:

default dev tun0 scope link

I'm just not sure what the hell is restricting the traffic?

I've tried doing "ip ru del gprs", but that does not help either.

Anyone successfully use VPNC on Android?

Thanks, Matt.
