I love the screen size, but not really feeling the WP7, lol.

If they had an Android phone with a 4.7" screen, I'd be on that **** in a second.

I'm going Sensation methinks.
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
Its because consumers are as think as $%^&

Its like the MHz race of a few years back, 15MP MUST be better than 5, obviously!

Firstly they forget that half of that number is probably interpolated and secondly they dont seem to realise that filling those 15MP through a pin hole is like sucking Concrete through a straw, possible but useless unless its perfect conditions. The final point being that good optics are expencive and do nothing for the "style" of the device.

Its a shame really, but id sooner take 5MP with good optics then 12MP with the crap we have now :)

Blabbering

Well having just retired my HD2 into the hands of my girlfriend who hated her BlackBerry to the point of being scary :mad: and buying my self a GS2, I have to say personally it was & wasn't worth it. The screen is alot better and can be used outside without it almost disappearing and generally apps and the internet load faster... But Out of the box on o2 branded KE2 firmware it was quite buggy and not much faster than my trusty HD2, so I was starting to think I had made a bit of a mistake but luckily Samsung nicely made the bootloader unlocked so jumping to a custom rom and kernel was easy and made the phone much better, now I think it was a good purchase for me and it will hopefully last me the 2 years or so I want like my hd2 did. That said when I used my HD2 again yesterday I was blown away once again at just how smooth and stable the current roms are (Typhoon) and I could easily use it as my daily phone, and can see why people would not want to upgrade yet.

Do miss not being able to dual boot os's like they were going out of fashion though.
[HD2 General] Ouzo:
Thanks for the honest post, it's helpful to have a direct comparison. I came quite close to off-loading three of my old phones at Computer Exchange today with a view to getting the GS2. Maybe I'll try and make myself wait a little longer.

I think the good thing about the GS2 is that you will be able to tweak it to within an inch of its life for a long time to come, simply because of the number of people that bought it and are developing for it.

Good to know that the screen isn't just an expensive mirror when used outside ; )

hello all

can anyone tell me whats the difference between the rooted stock kernel and the insecure kernel !!!

cuz i need to use the ./adb remount , and it gives me permission denied ,

Hey Guys,

is there a way to save RAM ?

I'm using this Rom & I have only 79Mb free of RAM.

I tried zeppelinrox V6 SuperCharger

But it doesn't work.

so does anybody know an other way ?

Hmm and a question,is tehre a way to disable Sense 3.0 Task-manager ? cause maybe V6 SuperCharger doesn't work,cause of task-manager(maybe he kills it)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
no need to think about the ram handling. when its going to be full (mean few MB), android will free some ram
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
One thing you should know about Android is that it takes care of itself when it comes to freeing RAM and all that. Using task killers and RAM optimizers can do more harm than be helpful. I wouldn't worry about not having much RAM available since Android frees RAM for you when it gets a little low. Maybe check for apps running in the background.

Need some advice please guys

I have a samsung omnia 7, that is chevron unlocked. I would like to install mango OS on it. I currently have os version 7.0.7004. I have already followed the instructions on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152422 and have copied over the relevant files (.xml) and I have also got mango ready to install.

COuld somebody help me out?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
First things first. I would suggest using zune to update to 7392. Make sure you update to that first and still are unlocked. Once you have done that there is a wealth of information in this thread on how to proceed from there.

The main thing you need to remember is in that zip file there is a xap called -Unlock_Mango_XBMODDeployer.xap deploying this file and copying over the file it creates to your Windows directory on the phone is CRUCIAL to keeping the phone unlocked throughout the procedure. Basically it makes a file called CustClear.provxml and this file is located in My Documents\My Ringtones\ on the phone after you run that xap. Be sure to install TouchXplorer.xap on your phone and just use that to copy that file to your windows directory.

And AFTER you have run the update do the provision of that file. On samsung devices I am not sure how you do that but search through this forum and I am sure you will figure it out.

Good luck
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaman123:
Thanks for the reply man!

I was really starting to doubt this commnity.

Can i use any version of zune to update and how do i keep the unlock?

Will zune just update to the NODO one alone and not bypass that and update to the latest firmware?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaman123:
Okay, so i have updated to the latest build of mango and i have lost my unlock. I followed the instructions to the letter and no joy. Can i get it back?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
Remember that custclear file? You have to re-provision the phone to unlock. Hard to copy links via phone but in the developer section there is a walk through on how to do that on a Samsung. It works with the diagnosis code to do it

I have been with DeFrost and Gingavillan for some time now,

And feeling i need a change in my phone as am bored lol!!!

I was thinking of a Sense ROM.

But i have not kept upto date on the forum for some Time,

So Sense users, what are you finding your Best ROM is, Speed, Space and Battery life.

I really like the look of: InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ STABLE

But not sure on battery life or anything.

What you using guys and girls and your pros and cons
[Desire General] Kalavere:
I am loving MIUI at the moment but the battery life isn't good, I can't recommend if that will be an issue, I was using Oxygen before and made it home at the end of the day with ~70%+ battery, I am getting home with ~50% now.
[Desire General] Meaple:
The last sense rom I tried was AceSMod because IC and RCMix had really crap battery life. No idea what it's like now. Just try some sense roms out.
[Desire General] dave7802:
Yer i tried InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ STABLE

Its a good little ROM, i kinda like it, But the speed is just too slow for me.

So i might give some of LeeDroid's Roms a go later on :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] plotinus:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
Yes, you CAN!

-Flash KPN as one package

-Then go to downloading mode

-open odin and select the ops (cooper)

-put the brazilian modem in "Phone"

-BOOT, PDA and CSC whitout nothing

-Flash

The you will have KPN with the brazilian modem. You can do it always, including custom rom lije coderom and firstUA
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexzon:
Oh, nice!

I'm going to flash the brazil modem file, then.

Do I have to wipe data or something before it or I can flash the file with my used phone directly?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
No, you only change the band of you phone. Don't forget to restore apn setting
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexzon:
I don't have a data plan, I pay for every KB I use, so I can't navigate to test, but the icon at the top, near the signal bars, is appearing properly.

It's a little strange cause an 'H' appeared, then the '3G', and then an 'H' again.

Maybe it's the signal here, I don't know.

What's exactly happening with you about 3G?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] plotinus:
it doesn't saves the apn settings so i have no internet without wifi
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yoyigo07:
Ask for the apn settings for your company and put this in: settings->wireless and networks->mobile networks->access point names->new apn (here you have the put apn)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] plotinus:
yes i've done this but when I press save it doesn't save the apn... and I did it before the fla.sh rom and it used to work
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexzon:
I didn't create the APN, I think the phone got it from the sim card.

But I'm curious about the 'H' symbol instead of the '3G' one. Anyone knows why?

there is a way i can flash the stock modem back and keep the rom running as it is now?

what should i do?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
If you use Odin, yes!

Just select modem file of choice and cooper.ops of course. Leave the rest empty and flash it.

-edit- wait a minute. You came from stock? Then you should still have stock baseband. CM7 does not replace that.

Does the MODEM file affect phone signal?

Hey, complete noob question...

I'm from India and am currently on GingerReal 1.1.0 KPN

Ever since I first went from stock to custom ROMs my phone signal has been hit badly.

Is the MODEM file customized for any particular location.

Anyone know if it'll make a difference if I just flash the MODEM from DDKQ5??

No change on flashing just MODEM...

I definitely sensed a change in signal strength and cos of this prob no one's able to reach me, the phone kinda lost its main purpose.

Can anyone suggest any solutions???

Should I try installing Indian Stock GB or even stock Froyo??

Thx

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] easswar:
Hey

I flashed just the modem, but apparently that doesn't solve it. The baseband has changed to DDKQ5 but no change in signal strength.

And yea, I am normally using the 2G n/ws only option.

I think I'll try flashing stock GB and then stock froyo to check if it makes any difference.

BTW anyone got a similar problem??

If I'm the only one, it might as well be a prob with my service provider.

I have another question, I tried flashing just the CSC but I dunno if it flashed properly cos after that, just before bootup during restart it was showing a modified image of the background that CWM shows while flashing with a warning sort of sign. Know what that means?? Phone is working though.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paua__:
you mean the same as changing MTU for network cards on a PC? what does your LAN speed test show? For my SGS1, the wifi speeds and the time it takes to connect to a network differs from which modem I use.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
I think OP means wi-fi link speed, e.g. 11mbps, 54, 150 or 300mbps. My 11n router doesn't show what speed my tab is connected as and it appears there is no information on tab either. But whatever link speed it is, it will be much faster than my internet connection speed anyway. So it really doesn't matter for me personally. If you use Wi-Fi Kies or other app to download video files from your LAN, it may make some small difference. I'm sure the default is a balance between speed and battery consumption.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llbank:
Yes that is what i meant.... My tablet connects at 65mbps but my router goes up to 300mbps. I was hoping to link up faster but i dont see a setting for that...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bandit_knight:
Hi,

I don't think this is limited to my device so I am asking here. Are you guys really able to multitask on your devices? On mine I start the web browser then I switch over a couple of apps and when I try to go bqck to the browser it gets launched all over again. Of course it remembers all the pages I have opened but they get reloaded. The same happens to other apps all the time. That drives me crazy. I installed an app called System Panel that I used to have on my HTC Desire and it shows that there are a lot of background services running and out of 700 megs of RAM it's only 50-80 free memory. Among those running apss there are services of widgets that I have never used like AP widget, world clocks, Yahoo finance, samsung hubs and etc. That's insane that such stuff occupies memory while apps that I really use gets killed so eagerly. Is there any way to improve on this behavior? My HTC desire seems to handle more apps at once than my GalTab :O

Marcin
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
I'm with you about the browser. So irritating that pages are reloaded when you leave the browser. I put starburst ROM on mine so I'm not sure if that took care of the RAM issues, but the reloading browser is pure fail. (BTW- I use dolphin for pad and it's the same).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bandit_knight:
I guess it's more a matter of the OS killing background apps to retain memory than the app behavior.

In Android an app(it's called an Activity) cannot forbid the operating system from killing it when the OS decides to. An app can only gets notified about the event of being killed to persist its state to be able to restore it later. And the browser does that.

What the problem really is here is that because of a lot of bloatware(including background services of Samsung hubs, Yahoo widget, Associated Press widget) running in background the OS is not having enough memory to keep the user apps runinng. So soon afther an app is put into background it gets killed to make space in memory for other apps.

And as far as I know killing thresholds for available memory are set to around 56 MB. And this happens to be around how much free memory is available for most of the time. So it makes any app put in background to be killed almost immediately. This makes the OS that is supposed to have an edge over iOS in terms of multitasking to be in fact able to run a single app at a time :(

And ifor example my HTC desire that runs vanilla Android 2.3.4 (Oxygen) seems to run with close to 200 MBs (out of 576MB built in according to the specs) of free RAM during normal operation. I do not use any task killers or any similiar tools. This makes the OS to easily handle multiple apps in background.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
So, the question becomes: "how do we [permanently] kill all those background bloatware processes?"
