[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pramathesh:
Ok! So I snapped my GPS antennae while trying to make sure it touches the receiver. Any ideas on how to fix it back? I'm thinking of soldering the broken part back to the receiver and hoping it makes contact with the base which is on the PCB. Any other innovative solutions?? Also I'm having second thoughts on soldering a copper wire on to the receiver and leave it dangling down to the PCB. This will surely make contact with the base. Anyway looking forward to some suggestions to help here.

Hello community,

in the next days i am for holidays in america and i am very intrested in an motorola atrix. The atrix is in america very cheap if i compare the prices in america with the prices here in germany but i need the german system language.

So my question is if it´s possible to flash an european firmware(with german language support) on an american atrix?

An answer would be nice.:)
[Atrix 4G General] andreadb:
I have Unlocked the BootLoader of my AT&T Atrix and then flashed Cherryblur, that is based on a french firmware , and now I have Italian language. It should not be different for german.

i was stuck at splash loop..

Then as per some thread i flashed HTC RRU for india.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
To be a nicety, your 2nd ext is not exactly 1/3 of the first (1024/3=341). You have 30 mb too much. I think, this could be the issue. Furhtermore, why did you configure swap partition? In the corresponding thread there is nothing about a swap partition.

So I recommend to reconfigure your sd card like this:

Fat32=683, 1ext=1024, 2ext=341.

Try to flash the rom with this partion layout again. But remember, the first boot takes a very long time.

The second thing, the hboot versions with the number 6.93.1002 are protected. They cannot be overwritten by ruu. So you get the low memory warning, because the phone partitions are not partitionened to work properly with ruu.

If you really want to go back to stock, you have to flash bravo_downgrader first and then the stock hboot:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ip3fix:
Hello there,

I have installed CM 7.0.3 on my HTC Wildfire a few days ago and I was wondering if someone noticed a bug with the SIM toolbox?

Actually, one of the feature of my SIM card is that I can add credit through the SIM toolbox. When I open it and choose to add credit, I need to enter my phone number and then, I'm supposed to choose how much I want to add. But the problem is that I'm stuck on the phone number entry screen, and can't go to the next steps. I can't even go back, unless I press the "Back" button several times :(

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
It's dependent on the sony framework as it's preinstalled, push the .apk to /system/app/ and it will work again :)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _terror_:
btw, how do you do that? :P i have a file explorer app and the .apk file
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You can just copy and paste it to /system/app. Using a file explorer, but you must set the right permissions afterwards, or if you have a pc, you can use adb, just to push the .apk :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _terror_:
when you say "push the .apk" do you basically mean move the downloaded .apk-file to /system/app then install it from there or what?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
No push is a command used by adb, so you would use the command "adb push xxxx.apk /system/app" and that would move the apk to that location, you dont need to install apps to /system/ just copy them there :)

How do I know my phone is turelly multitasking capable? I run one application then hit the home screen and start another then hit the home screen and go to task menu and it shows 0 (zero) application running, does it mean I am am not multitasking? This is on Leaked GB rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
Works fine for me. I can upload pics using Photobucket app and go do something else on the phone and it keeps uploading. I never pay any attention to what task managers say.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robby88:
Multitasking doesn't exist on mobile phones -_- if u cant view multiple windows then you can't multi task, if u mean keep things open in the background well they have always done that

Second questions go in general not development
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Wrong. Multitasking simply means that multiple tasks can run at once. Whether or not you're viewing them all at the same time is irrelevant. And phones have definitely not always done that -- Android always has, but iOS did not at first.

Anyways, you can't not have a multitasking Android ROM as it's simply part of what Android is. What's shown in the stock task manager is meaningless because it ignores a lot of apps and doesn't show services at all. If you download an app like Watchdog, you can see everything that's actually running.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fenguinpower:
Which one will you choose and why do you choose it? Anyone seen the 8.9 forum here?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
I don't think there's a good answer for that. The screen size matters about what your main purpose of the tablet is. I love Samsung 10.1 screen size. For me it servers a good purpose for watching movies.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fenguinpower:
My main purpose is for reading pdf files with diagrams and pictures. Which is best? I already have a galaxy s2 with 4.3 inch screen and i read a pdf in landscape mode. I want to see an entire page when reading. That will make my life easier.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
Then you should go with 10.1, since the resolution is 1280x800.

I installed a bunch of app from Zune, for my wp7 when it was connected to my computer.

Now when i flash a new rom and connect my phone to zune it automaticaly start to download and reinstall all of them.

Is there a way to have Zune forget the applications/games I dont want to try anymore ?

Jan Roelof
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
but, alas, it is currently the only way. There is currently no delete app history function. If you don't want a program to auto install after you hard reset, make sure you install it OTA and not through ZUNE on your PC. It is my understanding that only those installed through ZUNE on your PC will auto install after a hard reset.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I was asked this by a friend, but it seems I lack the underlying knowledge to give him an answer.

Would it be possible to use the htc sense ui on our phones?

More generally.. why don't rom builders take stock from other popular phones and build them for multiple devices. Is there a reason that the evo sensation running sense. 3.0 wouldn't work on the charge?

I always thought android was like windows in the way you can install windows on almost any pc with any hardware config.

I am looking for a dev like danalo or kejar or someone to explain in a little detail why this is or isn't the case.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
This has been asked many times. It's basically impossible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
has it? my forum search skills need work then :) i figured it was "impossible" I was just wondering why. I am a hardware engineer and while i know enough programming to get me by, I have am lost when it comes to understanding android and why one build for one device wont work on other devices.

How is it different than windows? Microsoft builds windows, and you can take that copy and install it on any PC you want, amd, intel.. nvidia graphics, radeon graphics..

why is this not the case with android? In my attempts to learn android, i downloaded the sdk, eclipse.. java etc.. and i notice that in the SDK there is "android 2.2" for example.. it doesnt break it down by device. So im wondering why there is a fragmentation between devices, if the code starts out the same for all devices.

again, why does it not function like windows, essentially "hardware independent"

EDITED

or... why coudln't just the sense UI be ripped out of an HTC rom, and ported to a samsung rom. I know I am probably speaking out of my ass here.. but i really dont know why we cant do this, hence the question to understand why :)

(forgive my curiosity, I am a college student.. I ask a lot of questions)
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
I believe it has something to do with the Sense framework. Don't quote me on that,though. :p

Bow Chika Wah Wah Premium
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
The sdk that you downloaded is for making apps. It is a baseline so if you make an app it works on all android phones. The ROM itself is basecoded for each phone as the companies ask google to develop a specific database structure. As far as the UI. Sense was made to be non portable. The Sense infostructure and libraries were written for HTC hardware. Porting it over would mean finding every lib, driver, and couple other hiddens files, decompiling them (which i don't know anybody that has successfully) rewrite the code for samsung hardware and recompile.

While impossible is the word used. it's really not, but lets call it, improbable for somebody to actually take the time to do it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
its extremely difficult if not impossible... I remember nitsuj saying there was a small coalition of devs who tried it a while ago and got it operational but almost everything was broken and borked... Its simply not meant to be run on non HTC phones and cannot be ported, but being the AOSP fan that I am I still wouldn't mind running that revamped Sense from the T-mo Sensation

blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
so. HTC could do it then, because sense is their code, and as such, they have the source and could modify it accordingly. But trying to take Sense from an HTC phone and just install it onto a samsung phone would bork it badly.

I imagine this would be similar to ghosting a windows based machine, and then using that ghost image with an entirely different set of hardware. The image would fail to function correctly, if at all on the new hardware , especially if it was vastly differnt.

thanks for the responses. its making much more sense. I wasnt aware that the sdk wasnt the same as the rom on the phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
you got it my friend. Although using symatec ghost, you can change the drivers and it would work. Putting sense on new hardware is like putting OS X on a tablet. Just wasn't meant to work.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Anyone seen any drop test on the net? Havent been able to find a video of it.

The closest to a drop test that i found is this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv4Llv3UedY

A dude tries to scratch its screen using random tools.

But I guess some of you have dropped your phone already, so how did it go and did you use any protection around the phone? I've read that our Ace isnt that sustainable.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
i have dropped mine several times, from 3FT to 5FT high, i use a protective back case (the perforated one which clips from the back) and a normal screen protector.

The phone is still alive, no scratches. I manage to destroy 2 protective back case though due to the drops.

The reason i bought this perforated back case is that the chrome finish in the galaxy Ace is sensitive since it is a chrome finish over a plastic base, not a chrome finish over metal.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Did you ever drop it with the screen faced down(using the screen protector)?

That would be interesting to hear about.

I personally use/like the transparent silicone one, since it's bump resistance, good grip as well!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cr0ssx21:
Did the drop with the screen facing down. No problem because the silicone case i am using protrudes, creating a buffer between the screen and the case. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Hatshipuh:
I dropped my phone face down too from about waist height, since I'm using a silicone case and screenprotector, no traces of damage at all.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rhadrio:
Dropped my SGA a while ago, face down. Aint quite sure about the height but I guess its around 3ft.. or less maybe lol.

I can say there aint any damage done to the phone.

I did perform some quick-test (camera, microphone, loudspeaker etc.) after the drop just to make it sure, and all of them works just fine.

p.s. I was using Capdase soft case at the time I dropped it, so I think even though I dropped it face-down, there wasn't actually a contact between the screen and the floor.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
I really don't like those silicone case since it makes the SGA thicker, the perforated back panel protector are just right, it protrudes as well in front, but not as deep as the silicone cases.

And as for dropping it face down, the thing is most of the time it drops on its corner (due to one side being heavier). Making it fall face down will be coming from a small height not giving enough air time for the phone to actually rotate on its heaviest side :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
I dropped mine from around just ~10cm or so, while using VillianROM, and it hit the ground on it's top corner, and my network and sound stopped working when I checked my phone after a while. After that, none of the Froyo firmwares would work when I tried flashing. Only Gingerbreads would, but with no network and sound. Totally weird of a situation.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] zt3:
I accidentally dropped it twice. First one around 2 ft high. Produced no scratches. Second one was worse as it was higher around 5-6 ft high and ground was wet at around 10mm deep. Back was all wet. Good thing only the back cover was scratched. I had it air cooled for a night and turned out pretty well. No hardware/software issues covered after the accident. It must be noted too that I had no accessories attached back then! :D

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aceian:
Yup i remember that I dropped it a month ago when I was filming my brother's son's insane activities....

He was just one and a half years old...

I was filming him on my bed and he came near the ace and smacked it.. LOL...

That was my first and only drop.... But nothing happened no scratches...
