As the person above me said. Android is open source, and thus can easly be ported to diffrent devices. Windows mobile is not open source and cannot. If you want both you need to buy a windows phone.

How about if dual android boot. Let's say android 2.3 and custom rom. Is it possible?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreyGhostRos:
Yes..

Search the forums there are a few threads and guides i think..

You can dual boot or just flash backups through recovery..

Thanks. I will search. I just woder what we can do after unlock bootloader

[Galaxy S II General] OneZeoN:
Gutted!!!

Do you not use some sort of case?

I use a great rubber one that in VERY close to the phone so doesn't even look like i use one!

Looks good and would save my phone if i ever dropped it
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Ouch...

Many sympathies. And good luck learning Finnish, it's horribly tough. I gave up and learnerd Swedish instead from my Finnish ex - helluva lot easier.
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
@OneZeoN - I've never actually used a case before, and it is only recently (well, July 2010) when I bought my first large format screen phone. Before then They were semi-bricks like my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music which you'd need to stab with an icepick to damage. My original Galaxy S never failed either. I've always been very careful (or lucky).

I guess I fell for the svelte design and feather weight of the S2. It's a shame that form is taking more precedence over function in some kind of counter-productive race on thinnest-flattest-lightest-shiniest, as the walls of material physics are being hit hard. Shock-absorbancy doesn't marry well with thin and stiff as my S2 proves.

I'm going over whether to run a silicone skin or a proper bumper case. Given that every Euro counts at the moment (upcoming school books and my wife needs a nurse uniform "for school", woof) I'm a little worried that silicone might not provide the protection and assurance an expensive phone like an S2 really needs. As you say, more than likely better than no protection!

@B3311 - Finnish is unfeasibly hard. That said, it is very logical like German is. You can read Finnish straight from the page and even if you don't know the words or the sense of what you are reading, everything can be vocalised. The grammar is the problem, cramming that system into your head and then realising you haven't had time to absorb any vocab so you have nothing useful to say. I keep telling myself that two years of intensive language courses will pay off for the rest of my life. Swedish is easy, yes.
[Galaxy S II General] Rollies77:
Does it affect the way your screen renders things or is it only on the gorilla glass?

My friend dropped his belt buckle on his LG Optimus 2X and cracked his gorilla glass but it still turns on and renders without problems. He sent it back to LG and got a replacement (only the glass) for $5 + $10 service fee.

Or maybe this can help?
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
Thanks for the link. My glass is immaculate and the crack is in the screen component mounted beneath the glass itself.

More than a little polishing required here!

<edit: apologies for the bad photo. snap decision and not set up fully hence the reflection!>
[Galaxy S II General] birchyboy:
If you find a source for the bits, I would be pleased to hear about it.

My buddy's son did the same thing, but the display underneath is OK, but the glass is cracked. He now has my spare gel case, but needs to find a new glass.

Someone else, with an iPhone 4, told me his agent charged £180 to replace the glass when he did it.
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
The screen, glass and bezel seem to comprise one unit. I haven't taken my S2 apart any further than the rear plastic cover and bezel as I only really want to try this once I get around to replacing the screen for real. It seems it will be a "full body transplant" of all components and boards from the old damaged (well, killed) screen straight across to the new unit.

A full teardown is available here:

...and a little-too-quick-for-my-liking video on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKztg1ra4-0

Most of this evening will be spent looking for sources. Amazon and "Ali Express" seem like the most likely sources, however I haven't even found suggestions here really. Has nobody broken their S2 yet, unlike me?

I'm marginally concerned about ordering from a random Chinese site, however since it likely won't come from anywhere else what can I do? X'D

Oh, and despite my apparent light-hearted posting I am still depressed. Levity in the face of gravity and all that.

[Galaxy S II General] s1lvf1sh:
I sympathise with the OP. I cracked the glass to the left of the home screen button, it shattered in an area 6 x 10 mm and propogated from the bottom left hand corner, with 4 long cracks running into the main screen area. Fortunatly for me the it still works and the long cracks are very fine and not too distracting.

It was in my pocket when it happen and i don't recall bashing into anything. I assume it was a glancing blow from the handle of a cupboard door which matches the hight where my phone would sit in my pocket. When I first pull it out I thought I had my friends phone (HTC Touch HD2 since he has cracks from where it fell from his bike) gutted when I realised what had occurred.

I have looked up service centres in the uk and was sent to CPW in Bristol, spoke to "the Tech Guy" they quote £150, 2 days lead on the part (incidental anecdote: and their engineer isnt in because he has a bad back. The guy told me had had a similar crack in his sgs2.) Have found others offering fitting for £125 but would much prefer the recommendation of a stranger on a website i lurk in :). I have put a cheap screen protector on top so not to loose further glass.

anyway good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr Zoidberg:
Small donation sent. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
Thank you! I really appreciate it and the other donations made so far. I calculate that I am about 2-3% of the way there already. I think I remember where my anti-static wrist strap is also! I just need to locate a SAMOLED+ screen replacement.

I believe I will need to inspect the screen assembly when it arrives, as this may not involve a "full body" transplant and might just require the Gorilla glass debonding from the bezel rather than a full disassemble. I'm not sure which of these I actually prefer however...

@s1lvf1sh - those propogating cracks must be a complete nightmare as any pressure will surely apply stress along them! I don't know whether the glass can be replaced on its own as it seems to be that it is bonded to the SAMOLED itself. Perhaps this goes some way as to explaining the high cost of glass replacement services? I hope to see Samsung using flexible AMOLEDs in the next couple of years, as they appear to be all but immune to convential damage.

....and unconvential damage....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8S8tbQMp2k
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
Pulled the trigger on a new SAMOLED screen from a UK reseller for a reasonable price. Should arrive next week, so unless I get some good time during the day that week I will be documenting the replacement process next Saturday and uploading the same or the next day or thereabouts.

Thanks to everybody that made donations. Found out yesterday that my next language book will cost me €49(£42) which is a serious dent in our general finances alongside this new screen and my intended bumper case. Any supplementary donations are always welcome of course! :-D

Whilst I am on-topic; if any steps of the transplant process need documenting in specific detail, it would be a good time to discuss those now I guess.
[Galaxy S II General] pbrown77:
I'm no expert here..... but on my O2 mini I had many a year ago I had the screen go garbled like that after i dropped it. Now I understand that this phone is a amoled where my O2 was an lcd but I found the problem with the O2 was the flat cable connection for the screen to the motherboard....

Just a thought and doubt your problem is the same but you have to pull the phone apart anyway so worth a check.
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
It's unlikely that I am the first person with a broken S2 LCD/LED given the number of them up for sale out there. In that respect any fatal design flaws should have been reported by now, so I doubt it will be a similar problem however I never rule anything out until I have appropriate evidence so I will definitely examine the damaged screen and trace the source of the crack back through to the initial shock transmission point in the (relatively) inelastic case.

In other news, I am heavily tempted to buy an aluminium Taurus case.
[Galaxy S II General] RbbCHan:
don't buy the story. My SG2 fell down 3times. One time even from more than 2.5 meters hight. No impact on any function so far.

sorry, but wish you good luck anyway. May God give you power to manage your life with honour.
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
Story? It's far from being a story at this end of the Internet! I'm stuck with "using" a GT-S3370E whilst I've been rejigging money to cover this repair and have discovered the downside of syncing all your contacts with your Google account....when you move backwards to an older phone that can't do that, you find that you have no numbers on your phone. Bleh.

Good luck with dropping your phone "successfully". Most people just don't get second chances you know? Just happy that I'm living my life honourably under my own steam thanks.

PS. A big Saturday handshake to the last donation received! Makes me feel a hell of a lot less "out in the cold" from my little disaster.

PPS. Missing Android.
[Galaxy S II General] bingoking:
Feel with you. Made my first scratch today dropping mine from knee height as well...Luckily its at the edge of the screen and barely visible.
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
No scratches in mine. I suppose that just makes it worse, that I wrote off a pristine Gorilla Glass screen by cracking the LED underneath. I hated the scratch in my original S. 3mm right down in the middle, two-thirds down. Grr.

Considering a Zonus leather wallet case instead of a bumper. Not a fan of the portrait ones though. A little too Star Trek communicator for my liking....reminds me of Ace Ventura too....
[Galaxy S II General] :
you all like lol :( this is mine as we speak,
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
It's just a flesh wound! It'll polish out. The flash photography makes it look worse than it is. Have you tried turning it off and on again?
[Galaxy S II General] :
LOLOL it actually still boots :D
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
Same here! The screen vaguely lights up the top quarter or so partially, then disappears mostly. Enough to call my wife and tell her I broke my screen....! Not enough to figure out where the call end button was, and left her a 1hr voicemail a couple of hours later!!

[Galaxy S II General] Wiisper:
I actually replaced my screen a couple of weeks ago, you need to watch out with the captive buttons, the best you can do is leave them in place and don't try to remove them.

After you have removed the 7 screws and you're gonna remove the plastic cover you need to take extra care at the headphone jack part because thats really thin and easy to break.

My screen was completly shattered so I needed to remove a lot of little pieces of glas, my advice would be to remove your old broken screen above something to collect the little pieces.

The rest of the replacement was fairly easy.
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
Thanks Wiisper. Very much appreciated! I will definitely bear this in mind whilst carrying out my replacement and make appropriate notes in the tutorial also.
[Galaxy S II General] :
screw that are you doing it your self??
[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:
Definitely. I intend to post a detailed step-by-step tutorial whilst I do it. If I break the phone during that process, at least I get to show people what not to do. X'D

No seriously. I'm 95% sure I can manage this (the 5% is due to not having done it yet) so in gratitude for the donations received in helping me to replace the screen I'll give something back to XDA since it has given me a lot.
[Galaxy S II General] Teunioss:
just buy it on ebay and ask the Seller if it's genuine Samsung.

If so.. order it.

Finished with all the chit-chat.

And if you receive it and it's not genuine Samsung you can get your money back or you can sue him and win the case..

I don't think your familair with ebay and online auction sites if I read your posts :)

[Galaxy S II General] Prostheta:

I would like to know if it is possible to separate the glass from the digitizer. Mixed messages from all my Google's. Replacement screens are still in the region of £100 and I'll be honest im too tight to pay that as the damage to the glass is near the top. I've even been watching ebay for lcd units that are broken to do a test run on. Would you believe there are people actually trying to flog completely knackered, not working screens for £35 + pp. WTF
[Galaxy S II General] 2troke:
OK bud I could help you out here .......I could fix your screen for u like new if the LCD is still displaying ok..... or do an exchange and send u one I've fixed already....for the same price......send me a message if your interested both would cost £35

Hi Everyone

I was running the newest version of Insertcoin (2.2.6) it was running just great, last night I installed Superlite v1.3 and once I got it up and running I attempted to disable Mobile Network (as it it the number one killer of the battery for me) and now I cannot get ANY mobile signal whatsoever, not voice and not data....it is almost as if the SIM card I have in does not work any longer. I have tried rebooting, swapping roms (as I am using Boot Manager), reinstalling stock 2.3.4 from TMO, and still NO SIGNAL.....

My only salvation is wifi calling, and I cant be in the office or the house all day..

please help ASAP!

thanks
[HTC Sensation] mikejaret:
someone please help, i have used an RUU and downgraded and everything and no matter what I do everything BUT the radio works (i have wifi and such but no signal) and when i go to the extended settings menu, it just shows mobile network off and I cant turn it on....
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Well, if you run RUU and it didn't fix it, it is not software related. Radio works as wifi works, unlikely to be hardware failure. I say it's your sim or network. My steps would be, reinsert sim, if it doesn't help, call your network and ask about any failures in your area, if there aren't any, request new sim card (testing different network sim first sounds like a good idea).
[HTC Sensation] mikejaret:
its really funky, but i just cant turn on mobile network...when wifi is on the mobile network box is checked, but the second i turn off wifi it fights to turn on the mobile network and never does....

i have tried to update the radio as well now and it still didnt do anything!
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Have you tried what i said above?
[HTC Sensation] DrVladson:
If you remove the cover when the phone is on, you could damage the hardware.

The probability of this is very, very small, but still has.

Have you tried ARHD ROM yet ? There's a Super Wipe, use that to wipe off everything and install ARHD 3.0.3. Looks like Superlite messed it since that was the last app installed. But I doubt.

Get another cellphone and slot in yr sim card to see if it works first.

I recently got a defy, and it came with 2.1.So planned to upgrade with Motorola software updater, but it kept throwing internet connection error.

So downloaded RSD lite and JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1_CHINESE_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B50AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTINT15_P001_A013_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf from the firmware section, flashed it and it worked fine.

After few days motorola software updater showed "update available" downloaded it but Motorola software updater kept throwing errors duriing the flashing process.

Tried to flash the same file with rsd lite, but it too gave errors "checksum match error cg39"

The new firmware version is

JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7_CHINESE_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B50AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTINT15_P002_A014_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NeoMatrixJR:
So, with the death of MyPhone I'm looking for an alternative way to sync/archive/delete SMS messages from my phone easily. Since the phone slows to nothing with too many SMS messages on it I loved how I could go into MyPhone and easily delete messages from contacts I didn't care about (twitter, short codes, etc) and archive the ones I wanted to save but not keep on the phone.

Any suggestions to replace this functionality? I've found the BestBuy M:IQ works pretty good for everything else but this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximus-dev:
I couldn't find a clear answer very quickly... so I'm going out on a limb and just need to throw a quick question out there which should be a an easy one for experienced flashers.

I've been out of the flashing game for awhile now... been running Serendipity for some time. I'm wanting to give something else a try and want to do it the safest way possible, so I plan to master clear first. I have ran a Titanium Backup batch of everything I need (I believe) and am close to going ahead with the master clear.

I guess what this boils down to for me is a concern with the filesystem. I'm not clear on whether or not something has to be done with that before flashing or if the master clear process is going to safely just convert back to the original file system.

Hoping someone can shed a quick light for me and I'll move forward...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
a master clear doesnt do **** for the filesystem. it is just formatting your internal sdcard....aka, you dont need to do it

ODIN flash back to stock will actually repartition, reformat, and flash the stock rom back on.

dont confuse the 2.....master clear is the same as going into your storage options in settings and formatting the internal sd card and going to the privacy section and deleting everything
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedy_11:
Master clear doesn't touch the file system. It just wipes the internal memory. flashing to stock will resets the file system.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximus-dev:
Perfect, that is exactly what I needed to know. I copied all the crap off of my sdcard and plan to masterclear anyway just to get an idea of how much I don't need anymore.

This does clear it all up, thanks guys.
