I love using Cubed as my music player but for some reason whenever i download album artwork now, it gives me the right artwork in general but mixes it up between albums. Any idea how to fix this? I tried uninstall/reinstall
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schoolsux:
Hey!

I flashed a new stock rom (XXKG6) for my phone and I'm really happy with it.

Theres a problem tho... the stock keyboard in this rom does not support quick swedish letters & dictionary, does not support nordic countries at all.

But I guess some awesome guy here can pull out the "nordic" keyboard apk from another rom and give it to me? :)

And NO, I don't want to try another keyboard ;)

Thanks :cool:

I have a problem, after I finish installing KPN 2.3.3, the phone start and everything seems to be fine, however when I try to unlock the mobile and start working with it, an error appear as follow:

Sorry!

The application Setup Wizard (process com.sec.android.ugl) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

(Force Close)

I can't go past the error message. The below behavior is all that I get.

When I force close the message, it appears again.

When click the home button, nothing happens.

When I short click the power button, the phone locks.

When I long click the power button, the power menu appears.

I browsed through the XDA site and it was said that I need to flash with base image from an old release. I tried all the following:

S5830JPKA7

S5830JPKC2_OJPKC1_JXKC1

S5830XXKC1

S5830XXKP8

They all work correctly, but when I go back to KPN again, the same error happens again.

I tried a different KPN download, thinking that the image I'm using is faulty, but the same error appeared.

Please help?

if u still using default recovery, go into it and do a wipe/factory reset. if u already had cwm, do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.

I now have KPN installed and running.

I will hope apple lose in their anti competitive behavior. If apple win this battle, there will be more ridiculous court case eg, Toshiba will sue apple for the 'look and feel' like a computer, IBM will sue cos having the word 'OS' , Ford will sue every car with four wheels, MS will sue any system for having a boot up screen... I want my galaxy tab 8.9 now!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
don't wanna be a smartshitter but Ford didn't invent the car my friend^^

That was Mr Daimler from Germany who build the "first" car and Mr Benz who build the first "modern" car years before Ford...and who knows what these nasty germans will do^^

greetz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
True, but Ford spent a lot of time and newsprint saying that Ford invented the "mass produced" car, eventually dropping the mass produced part. Now if you ask people what the first car was, a sizable majority (especially in the US) will say the Model T Ford. Just like most people now would say that Apple invented the Tablet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FadeFx:
rschenck did you have a look at the actual community design in question? for me it looks like if this lawsuite is a win for apple, nobody else will be allowed to actually built tablets anymore... so i guess this will just hold back the tab 10.1 for a while on european market, but not stop samsung at all...

edit: and this has solely to do with the case design, nothing about the interface there...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ristokoo:
rschenck, an excellent post about a very important subject. I agree that this could be a reason for Samsung and others to boost innovation and creativity.

In general, it seems just madness to me that a company like Apple is able to prevent others using similar form factor. I suppose the German judge is not to blame, he's just doing his job (well I didn't really check if he had a choice;). I guess it's the ones that make the legislation who would need to be educated.

Edit:

Btw how likely is it that a person buying a phone accidentally gets a Samsung because he/she thinks it's an iPhone? Come on, tell me people aren't that stupid. Oh well, I guess there must be fair amount of those who can't read, shopping for smartphones. But still, there's the picture of an apple...

I wonder if Apple has thought of suing apple farmers for growing products that resemble their logo. Just think about it: the poor customer thinks he's getting an iPhone and when he gets home he finds out he bought a fruit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
I am not sure of your point in the first paragraph, but based on what I think you are saying I agree that if Apple wins all it is asking for, that other companies will need to look to radical new designs and Google may need to relax their hardware restrictions to a great degree to allow companies to compete.

The German decision just hinges on the form factor of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, but the GUI and TouchWiz interface play a big part in the overall legal argument.

Here is a good breakdown of the lawsuit and what Apple is claiming...http://thisismynext.com/2011/04/19/apple-sues-samsung-analysis/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] okpc:
Still a bit silly on apple, they think they own the form factor of a tablet. Just like Sony decided they own the invention of the TV screen. The 10.1 is nothing like the ipad, for a start it's 16:4 ratio whether other is 4:3, how on earth one can be mistaken a square for a rectangle. I hope the Beatles start suing apple for the name
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
Been there done that....Jobs won.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] okpc:
Ok, I hope LG will sued apple for using 'touch' as an interface.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
See my edit above...Motorola joins the fray as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ctcng:
Last year I wanted to buy a new smartphone, and as an Apple fanboy I only thought about buying an iPhone. Unfortunately in my country when the iPhone 4 was launched it costed around €650 which was too expensive for my wallet. Then I met the Galaxy S, which was basically kind of an iPhone rip-off but was €250 cheaper. I bought the Galaxy S and today it's still my phone.

So yes, in the end, if the i9000 didn't exist I guess I would have probably ended up buying the iPhone, and Apple could easily argue that they lost at least one customer because the TouchWiz UI and overall design looks pretty much like the iPhone.

I know there's more people in the world like me, I know how many times non tech savvy people asked me if I had bought an iPhone when they saw my Samsung phone for the first time... so in the end we must admit that Apple has a point :mad:

The iPhone has a very strong product image among the consumer and Samsung capitalized on that!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hammer4203:
Look at it like this, apple sucks! The mac is a pc! Windows stomped apple for years and still does. Jobs never could get it right. Microsoft wins because they have one, not many ideas. The pc was made to be universal, the outside can be anything you or I want it to be. Ios and android are nothing alike. All apple is concerns about is the fact people are tired of being told what they can do with the crapple they bought! That's why I switched. When jobs dies, see what happens! Apple will rape the ios trying to get back to the top! Can I use words instead of icons to open an app or display the weather, not on crapple! Can a maxi pad hook to a server to fix an issue, nope! It's an over sized ipod! Now samsung screwed themselves with the 10.1! Look at it, one cable that looks just like apples, one port, the damn cheap plastic, it wreaks of copy cat! Apple couldn't patent the use of "market" cause then the flea market and grocery market would eat their lunch! Apple is losing the war and they know it! All they are doing is slowing their eventual death! I say we invent a toy and call it the iplug! Of course as soon as apple hears it, they will sue. An apple with the letter I on top! Only problem apple is unaware that it's an adult toy! How pathetic would they look?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sathkartha:
@rschenk

Nice to take a break from flashing and bricking and then puffing and panting.........

Firstly,their TAB went on sale in India and Australia today I believe.

I reckon the biggest market for Samsung is all-Asia inclusive of big brother China where Apple will not be able to stop anything!In fact,Chinese stores started selling 'Hi-phone 5' today,for virtually a song.

Yes,where these firms make a mistake is the 'Me-too' attitude like you mentioned in the case of the GUI viz TOUCHWIZ in the case of Samsung and of course the form factor.

All said and done,it's 'dog eat dog' out there with android itself being under very severe attack from Apple/Microsoft.The biggest gainer eventually would be the customers with some real differentiating possibilities beyond the mere price of these expensive gadgets!

ps---really enjoyed your post!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
Great thread ! i totally agree with you on this, I do like the Samsung android devices, BUT they do look a lot like the iphone, just like the MIUI rom (which im using lol)

It would be great if Samsung made massive changes to their devices, and something 10 x better than iOS which to be honest.... is nice..

Who knows whats going to happen, maybe its just bullying on a mass scale, Maybe its for the best... But no matter what happens, I will never own an iphone, I will go back to a nokia 6210 if i have too.

I dont rape iphone users, I havent got the balls (pun intended!) But for me, i hate apple, i hate the restrictions, the forcing of using itunes only. and all the other **** they make you do.

I want a phone that i can suit to my needs, and do what i want to it. And thats why i am an android user. Its not Samsung that i like.... its android, so as long as android continues... i couldnt give a **** !!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iD4rK:
To be honest,

I love the quality of Samsung products, and this made me kinda fan-boy of them. Because their quality is superb. If there was a better company I would switch but there is not. (Depending on the device of course, canon makes better reflex camera, no doubt, just as example).

You can look at this as a step to the future because companies now might improve their product designs, but we are talking about tablets. What do you think tablets look like? I don't see tablets in a pyramid case... honestly, for me it is just a huge "what the f*ck".

Thumbs down for Apple and the Judge who is a complete retard.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] hammer4203:
There's why our xoom has the funny crap way of being used. Microsoft did it! Let's all mass email Microsoft and tell 'em we are switching to Mac and ios! See what happens to apple. I am sick of buying devices and being told I can't do what I want with it! Next they will stop selling printing paper cuz it's white and rectangled! Then there's the saying the alphabet....abcdefghjklmnopqrstuvxyz! Apple didn't invent crap! They stole most of everything they make! I say we start a petition to stop apple's lawsuits. Or we can file a class action against apple for being idiots! And another thing! Why do Mac's work with windows? Oh yeah apple's CPU sucked!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ristokoo:
Well, it's a company's job to make money to its shareholders. Can we really blame Apple alone for using methods like this? After all it seems that (legally) Apple has a case here so it's worth trying. Imo the question is should there be patent and IP laws that allow patenting a rectangular shape;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
We all know that samsung mobile is just one division of a massive multinational corporation. Though they are probably handling this on their own right now, if things get too ugly the parent company is bound to get involved. They will not simply let a billion dollar investment go tits up.

Samsung is by no means a small company, Apple better pray that this gets settled and big daddy doesn't get too annoyed with their childish games.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tatsuya79:
Marketing, patents, big money... copyrighted round corners icons, thinner than thinnest newspaper big tittle, top sales... innovation?

Samsung is playing the "trend noise game" Apple mastered, new paper strategy is to slow their sales by any possible mean.

Let's hope the patent system will disintegrate with the financial sector, both went too far into nonsense.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaystarrr:
Interesting reading. I sure hope Apple lose!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Nice and the opinion is well balanced. I just hope online articles are on par with this. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
Actually, Apple has three times the market cap that Samsung Electronics does (over 300 billion to just over 100 billion). I am not sure that includes all of the far flung industries that Samsung is involved with, but I am pretty sure that Apple still has deeper pockets. Clearly they are not worried about Samsung outspending them.

The more interesting element of this, and another indication of how incestuous tech companies tend to be, is that Samsung provides the CPU and memory chips for the iPhone 4, which account for a full 25 percent of the cost of the device to Apple. It would seem like Apple should be more concerned about offending a key supplier, but as long as there is cash on the table, they are counting on Samsung not walking away.

There are rumors that Apple has looked elsewhere for these elements for the iPhone, but it is unlikely they could find another company that could provide DRAM and CPUs in the quantity or quality that Apple requires. LG just failed on both measures in producing the screen for the iPad 2, so who did Apple turn to with an increased order to make up LG's failure? Samsung of course, even as the lawyers are clashing.

Curiouser and curiouser.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LacusClyne:
But the main thing is China always have tons of phone are design and look like Iphone and even almost function like one. Why don't they sue China instead? Thats what been going in my mind lately lol.. china have tons of stuff that looks like either iphone or ipad. But i guess they won't sue china because they manufacture iphones over there i guess. Bought a SGS and never regret with it. I think Apple is doing this so they can have the SGS2 processors on their IP5 (or rather wants it)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] All Day On XDA:
Interesting times indeed.

As stated in this thread, there is no denying Samsung have modelled their design on Apple products - most probably to appeal to the undiscerning customer - and they finally got spanked.

When I bought my Galaxy S last year, it was around the same price as the iphone 4, and after much deliberation I went for the Galaxy because I was keenly interested in the Android platform.

In all honesty, I didn't like the fact that it looked like an iphone knock-off, but there was nothing at the time that could compete on the specs. Then I received another proverbial kick in the balls when I saw how ****e the GPS was. Fast forward 1 year later and the GPS issues are fixed, I have a fantastic extended battery with built in stand and the phone is a far better machine than it was a year ago.

It took a year but I was finally vindicated for my purchase and it no longer feels like a cheap copy but a far superior purchase.

When I started looking for tablets in January, the smaller Galaxy Tab failed to impress me, seeming to be nothing but a larger version of my phone.

I had my hopes on the Notion Ink - but its well documented failures drove me to the best option at the time - the iPad.

The iPad is my first Apple device and I managed to get it much cheaper than most punters, which helped me justify the purchase. In all honesty its a fantastic device but with some obvious flaws.

Firstly, I had to jailbreak it make it work as I wanted - so I'm stuck with outdated software. Plus, I sorely miss having home screen widgets and expandable memory. So I've been waiting for a decent Android tablet to replace it with.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not it. By using a proprietary connector and not having expandable memory, on top of the similar design to the ipad - I think was the nail in the coffin and I think helped make a persuasive argument for the German Judge's ruling.

Samsung really went too far with their imitation - which is why I think Motorala will fair much better and won't be banned.

But as has been stated, Apple still need Samsung for their screens - I would just love to be a fly on the wall of the negotiating room where Apple execs plead with Samsung to help them out. It's going to cost them a lot I imagine.

I hope Samsung see this crisis as an opportunity. There are plenty of radical new-ish design ideas out there. Let's see those high def screens and for gawd sake keep the architecture as open as possible like you did with the Galaxy S phones. If people want proprietary crap, they'll always choose Apple.

By the way, if I was to choose a tablet now I'd go for the Nook Color. It's dirt cheap, overclockable, runs CM7, weighs little, decent outdoor legibility and great battery - but I won't be upgrading until I see high def screens.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
Exactly...and that for me is the key advantage Android has over iOS products.

When you buy an iPhone or an iPad, that point of sale is an end point. With the exception of whatever apps you buy, what you see is what you get. The only real way to improve the device is to buy the next generation model in a year...which most Apple users will do religiously.

However when you buy an Android device, it is just the starting point and the product will advance and mature with age as the software develops. YOu can give it new life by flashing different ROMs, you can change every single element of the OS to suit who you are today, then change it all again to suit who you are next week.

That is why it is great to be an Android user, or an Apple reseller.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bmadalin:
well if you can register a patent for a rectangle shape with touch screen , even if you are not the first company to make souch a device, then tommorow morning i'm heading to the patent office to try to register everything and anything i can think of (kitchen sink included.... much more detailed design than a touchy rectangle). There's lots of $$ to be made here!

If we talk about "design", yes, appel copied this design in a very audacious way:

http://www.hofmeister-holzwaren.de/artikel/12303.php

but no one sues them for this ;)

Seriously, the "design" aspekt (rectangular with rounded down edges and smooth surface that covers the whole front side of the product...) is ONE of the main aspects that äppel mentioned against Samsung...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killah bee:
I think first was Samsung who copied design...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
...from this cutting board, which is mother (or father?) of the basic "design"? No no, first was this cutting board, i remember it was there already before we ever thought about mobile phones... ;) And it definitely is "rectangular with rounded down edges and smooth surface that covers the whole front side of the product"

I don't think my galaxy s looks like an iphone. Apple is suing for everything except the screen( cause they can't). If you take that in mind color both screens another color. Then it looks just as much as an iphone as een motorola Defy or htc sensation..etc or any older touch phone

buttons ->different

logo placing-> different

backcover -> totally different

size -> different

only the metallic colored ring could be a bit similar :)

maybe i am bit prejudiced..

Apple dint lose a sale to samsung with me. Actually the reason I didn't get a iphone was because I couldn't stand having the same phone as everyone else. I came from an omnia... Dint have a clue about roms, kernels, flashing. Hell I couldn't tell you the difference between a program and an app. Now I'm on cm7 using odin, sdk and flashing roms for friends "bricked " phones. Thanks to this forum and the fact I didn't by an apple. Anyway this **** they are pulling just makes me happier I didn't and never will. Yes strong words but I'm so over their bullying.

yes, android can be customized.... thank god, because every android phone on the market is slow and buggy out of the box. Iphone does not need to be a customizers dream, because it is good right from the start.

Samsung got themselfs to blame.... on many points they are pretty similar to the so called "china iphones", only difference is that samsung puts "Samsung" on the phone instead of iPhone.

Will this ruin apple and samsungs relationship? who knows... what i do know is that samsung do make the chips, but apple buy one hell of a lot of them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cthonctic:
TBH when I got the SGS I was a bit annoyed that it kind of looked similar to an iPhoney 3GS and actually got more annoyed whenever people asked me about it. "oh, is that an iPhone?" - "no wtf!? GTFO!1"

I would have loved for Samsung to adopt a different styling like they did with some of the US variants and the Armani. But in the end it doesn't matter, I'm glad I have an SGS because it's so incredibly much better for a user who isn't a braindead iAcolyte and/or non-tech person that it isn't even funny.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Yeah right they are :rolleyes:

I went from iphone 4 straight back to android. Iphone is an over rated piece of junk.

That's the real reason apple are taking legal actions. If they really were innovative they'd be on to the next big thing instead of worrying about Samsung and co having maybe BETTER devices than themselves.

Galaxy S 2 sold 5 million units in 85 days. A projected 20 odd million a year. That's enough to put the fear in Jobsy.

Trying to get any scraps they can.

Makes me laugh to see their desperation.
