[General Questions and Answers] jaquez4:
Hey all i am really new to this and run into a major problem. I rooted my phone with superoneclick and installed a ROM from SGS tools for my samsung captivate. When it would enter into the recovery screen it would not show the usual options but instead a screen of what looked like a pixelated mess. Once the phone started i went to restore to factory settings and now when the phone starts up I see the AT&T logo then it goes to a black screen where it stays there forever. Did i manage to screw up my phone? any help is greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] jaquez4:
ok, I finally turned the phone off and left it overnight. The phone does start and work like it should. The only thing is that once you try to go to the recovery mode and the phone does its thing, I am brought to a screen that is half snowy (like the television when you dont get a certain channel) and the other half with lines of red, green, and blue. From here I cannot tell what is going on when I use the volume key to go up or down. Then with a double click of the power button the phone just restarts normally.

[Nexus S General] The111:
I need to find out where the Plants vs Zombies savegames are located. I think they are somewhere within /data/data/... and I believe I have read access to the files themselves, but not to the parent folders, so I can't poke around and find them myself. I need the exact path, in other words.

If you are rooted and install PvZ and then save a game, it should be easy to figure out. I have spent literally hours trying to find an answer... even installed PvZ to an AVD which took forever, but it wouldn't run on the emulator. :-(

Much karma in advance for your help!

Everything is shown in file explorer/manager/root explorer.

I switched to stock 2.1 But still it couldn't scan pictures/songs

The SD CARD was still OK.I can browse files using file mgr etc.. but nothing shows up in gallery/camera roll etc.

So i decided to format my SD card and i was backing up all data to my external HD.

Then Suddenly i got a blue screen on Windows and it restarted.

In the mean time my phone's SD card was back on track and started showing music/pictures etc. in mediascape.

Well i dont know how it happened but finally it is solved :P

hi

i have one question about updating from froyo to Gb . on froyo there is a great feature we can move/install our apps SD . on Gb what changes are made in ace :confused: i want to know :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
there are some apps which needs to be installed in the phone like widgets, etc. you should try upgrading. and just revert back to froyo if you dont like it.

i am hesitant myself in the beginning but after upgrading, i am much satisfied.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -Aatif-:
ooo ok thanks ..... widgets :confused: after upgrated u have got some new widgets on ur ace :confused: :confused: . i am waiting for GB update for my ace :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kesterpogz:
no, its just my example. . :-)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cr0ssx21:
One of the things updated in GB is that you can now connect to an Ad-hoc wifi connection from say, a laptop or pc. Very useful if you want to control your download data from your carrier.

Another update is the effecient battery consumption in GB. Mine could last an additional half day with mild use.

froyo to GB

Hi everyone, I'm following this thread re upgrading from Froyo to Gingerbread. There don't seem to be any significant changes or improvements? I don't need the wifi sync & my battery life in Froyo is EXCELLENT, so are there any other interesting things that will actually make it worthwhile upgrading?? Thanks, Graham. London :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -Aatif-:
ooo ok & what about battery life on GB it good & it is better than Froyo ? & what about Performance on Gb :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cr0ssx21:
besides the battery and the ability to connect to an ad-hoc connection, the video capture got bumped to 640x480 from 320x240.. :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chinoyray:
:eek:

Try using 2.3.3 KPN, the latest official firmware release by Samsung. (july 2011)

Lots of bug fixes, faster modem (means better connection) and yes... improving the battery life from Froyo.

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) supports the following features in addition to existing 2.2 features:

New user interface design with new themes (Black themes save power)

Extra Large Screen Size supported

SIP Communication Supported (SIP Video and Audio Calling, In an operator point of view, this is feature will decrease their voice calling revenue where as user can call each other for lower rates or even free if they have good data connection)

Supports for NFC (High Frequency High Speech Data Transfer in short range)

Support for WebM/VP8 video playback, and AAC audio encoding

New audio effects such as reverb, equalization, headphone virtualization, and bass boost

Improved Copy and Paste functionality

Redesigned Multi Touch Software Keyboard

Audio, graphical, and input enhancements for game developers

New sensors support (i.e gyroscope)

Download manager for long running HTTP downloads

Enhanced support for native code

Improved power management and application control

Support for multiple cameras

Now, for the difference between, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 Gingerbread, it's only the Video Call feature for Gtalk. That's why I'm sticking with 2.3.3 KPN since it's an official Samsung release already.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1ke101:
Picked up another fascinate from craigslist because my previous one had a cracked screen. It updated from 2.1 to 2.2.1 via OTA update.

I cannot get the fascinate to recognize on my desktop pc.

Tried two different cables, nothing.

I've tried various usb ports on multiple computers installed with the samsung drivers that have been able to detect my old fascinate, no luck.

I've tried turning usb debugging mode on and off, no luck.

I've also tried setting the usb setting to "ask on connect" instead of media player or mass storage, again, no luck.

I've tried restoring factory default through the privacy screen and also wiping the cache/wiping data/factory reset from the system recovery screen.

I think it may be an issue with the latest OTA firmware that was installed?

Would it be worthwhile to try rolling back to the 2.1 OTA? Anyone know how to do this? The only way I can think of is to find a 2.1 update.zip and restore it using the phone's recovery mode.

Suggestions would be appreciated.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIBUBO BCJ:
I think the problem is the driver. You can try this way:

Download Froyo ROM ED05 full stock and Odin. If Odin didn't found your Fascinate:

Connect the USB cable to the computer when Fascinate screen on.

Go to Menu and do factory reset, do not unplug USB cable

After Samsung fascinate booted into Android, your PC will get a message about install drivers for Fascinate, click Ok, and it will automatically reset driver for you

[Galaxy S II General] warfanax:
My display had purple tint and I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.

Also I now discovered something that the pink tint is only visible when u look at the screen 90 degrees. If u tilt the phone a little (5-10 degrees) to left-right or up-down and view like that the color turns normal (like my year old sgs).

It made me realise that this is a screen coating issue (maybe coating causes polarisation). So do u think this will go away with the time of use?

When I turn off the screen and check it under light by tilting I can see a little purple glare.

What do u think?
[Galaxy S II General] warfanax:
Do you have this on your phones?

My sgs, when the screen is off if you look the screen under light has a bluish color/glare.

However sgs2 when I look under light,screen turned off has a purple glare.
[Galaxy S II General] miniflight:
Me too. But I think it is cus of the anti-glare screen protector...I haven't taken it off to check...u can do that for me lol
[Galaxy S II General] ams84:
he didn't need to taken it off :D

mine was without screen protector and there was purple glare on screen

now I'm really happy because it's not just me who has this purple glare on screen

:D:D

this does not matter I like this phone :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] miniflight:
I find the problem when it is directly under bright light only...even when bright sunlight, it doesn't give me the glare...so it is not really a problem, I don't have a bright light in my room lol
[Galaxy S II General] warfanax:
Purple glare is not a problem but it causes phone to display purplish whites and greys when the screen brightness at low. At night, If I look 90 degrees to phone whites are creamy greys have a pink hue however when I view the screen from a little different angle (if i tilt like 5 degrees) whites are cool and greys are perfect.

Well maybe my sgs has a blue tint and cool colors that's why I feel a huge difference. Cuz when I compared my iPod touch 2nd Gen. IPod's color is more pinkish tthan my sgs2.

I don't have screen protector yet but I was hoping putting one would fix that purplish tint issue. So it doesn't.

exactly I have the same issue, and I don't think the screen protector will fix it

I have bell too. Where did you get your phone? I would like to go to the store that u bought to compare mine. Phones in the store that i got mine all have the same issue. This is my 3rd phone from the same store and they are already sick of me going there to change everyday. Maybe it's a batch problem. Are u in Toronto? If u are could u tell me the store name?

[Galaxy S II General] warfanax:
I checked all the phones in eaton center and they all have different screens. Mostly they have yellowish tint. One phone in future shop was worst than mine(purple)

One of the 6 display phones in bell had a perfect screen. Which made me hesitate about changing my phone. What are the odds to get a perfect screen?

The phones which have yellow tint their colors look pale to me. Only problem is mine, certain grays look purplish. Such as the status bar buttons. In a dark room with 0 brightness they have a purple tint.

when I tilt the phone that purplish color goes away.

What color the pull down status bar buttons should look like? What is your color?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] PainfulLover:
Tried it, the card can't even be opened on the pc, it crashes explorer.exe and the sd activity light on the pc is constantly blinking as if it was trying to open a corrupted disk.

Any help? I googled it and the only solution I've found was to re-format either with windows sd formatter from panasonic. Neither can be done because I can't open the card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
personally , i'd try a recovery program like get data back to get my stuff off that card. you can even format it if windows will let you, and still use gdb to recover your files. but try without formatting first .. i've used gdb many times to recover stuff from deleted partitions,sdcards etc. but the fat32 version is 70 bucks. you could also try the card in a pc with a fresh copy of windows. but it looks like the card is corrupted. thats why i always have a spare card, and a backup of my main sdcard saved to pc. always expect the unexpected.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] PainfulLover:
Thanks for suggestions guys but how am I suppose to use those programs if when I plug-in the card it takes about 5 minutes for windows to list it in my computer and if I try to open it or right-click explorer.exe crashes.

I don't care about recovering anything, I just want to format and it doesn't seem I can...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I used it a few years ago to recover dozens and dozens of photos and documents relating to my (now-deceased) father. It was stuff I'd scanned from my mom's albums and collections once when I was visiting home. Took me countless hours to scan and edit that stuff and I couldn't imagine having to do it again lol. My hard drive crashed and I didn't have them backed up anywhere else. Learned my lesson there as far as backups.

I haven't needed to use it for a long time now but yea its a very good tool. If I remember correctly they even have a Live CD you can burn that will boot your computer and allow you to repair/recover your main disk drive if ever needed.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Have you tried the Disk Management tool included in Windows? It should be able to see your card and format it for you.

If not, then you can try the bootable disk that crazythunder linked to. It contains gparted to format and partition the drive (and testdisk if you want to recover anything). There are also other bootable disks with gparted on them. Its a great tool. And its free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:

Si señor. Granted I went on a little tangent about recovering documents about my father, but even that point wasn't totally moot because I was simply sharing a real life example of how testdisk had saved my butt.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
No argument here. I'm just saying its worth trying to fix it and be sure its dead rather than throw money at a new one without being certain. It only takes a couple minutes to format.

Thank you all for the help!!!

I was not able to bring my micro sd card back to life. Bought a new one.

Wonder if titanium backup messed it up, just before I restarted the phone and noticed that the card is dead, I attempted to back up apps to dropbox via tt backup. Today I noticed that out of 135 mb to back up to dropbox only 30-some mb were actually backed up.

Calendar GOWidget - Inverted

I've recently started using GO Launcher EX, and installed the Calendar Widget (from the market). I love the widget, but don't like the default white/blue theme. It's not currently themeable,so I made a Dark, Inverted, Transparentish theme.

Everything works as it should-- visually, still a Work in Progress.

Some of the Smali edits were a %!&@#!$*%&#, and I owe a bunch of thanks to Rujelus22 for the guide.

Instructions

First, you need to be using GO Launcher EX for this to work. If you haven't used it, it's worth checking out. It's definitely on par with LauncherPRO and ADW.. imo.

If you already have GOWidget Calendar (on the market) installed, uninstall it first, then install this.

If you don't already have GOWidget Calendar, you can just install this apk (given you're using GO Launcher, of course).

I know some of the colors need tweaking, which I'll do soon.

Note, this does not replace your native calendar.

Enjoy!
