Landscape keyboards are kinda bad. Plus its impossible to get a consistently high typing speed on them (4 me). So much reach needed so often.

Problem I had with the droid ii keyboard was how stiff the keys were. It was really incredible feeling like I had just left the gym after typing on one of those...
[Vibrant General] archie53:
I had a my touch slide 3g and loved it and could type faster on that than I can on the Vibrant. Maybe check out the new slide and see what you think. And I have to agree with others here if you want a portrait keyboard get a blackberry.

Love touchscreen keyboard,

but is Motorola have a better sound quality based on its crystaltalk?
[Vibrant General] JVH3:
I own 2 AT&T Fuzes (HTC Touch Pro). Bought 1 on 11/8/208. The day it was released in the U.S.

I owned an AT&T Tilt 2 (HTC Touch Pro2) for a little more than a year.

and now I own an LG Quantum.

With all 3 devices, the slide out keyboards worked well and it's easy to get to all the keys. Just use your left thumb for the left side of the keyboard, and your right thumb for the right side of the keyboard. Doing that will avoid any reach issues. Take some time to get used to and learn any odd key placements and you should be able to pump out text at a more rapid rate than with an on screen keyboards where there is no real tactile feel aside from a vibration.

With the suggested words list in Windows Phone 7, I am finding that I use the slide out keyboard much less than with the other devices. With it, I am entering text as fast as I used to with swype.

You might also want to wait until Tuesday when the masses get Mango. It's supposed to have speach to text for text messaging and will read them to you as well. Much better and safer when driving. In most or many states it's illegal to text and drive, not that the law has stopped anyone from doing it though.

Has anyone got a backup of their EFS folder and Files? (Disclaimer: I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO ATTEMPT THIS FOR ME!) If anyone currently has one, I do not want someone to risk backing theirs up for me, But If anyone does, Please share it with us in a .zip :) I was thinking there may be a way to open the files, and replace the IMEI and stuff? Not sure :) It theoretically should work, but then again it's Samsung and it's all complicated, so I'm not guaranteeing anything. :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] crrodriguez:
Tried everything imaginable, flashing stock, multi-csc, adb, cannot get past the "black screen boot loop" (phone starts booting, the black screen iluminates and keeps going in that loop forever)

I can go to all kinds of recovery modes but whatever firmware I flash I get the same result, and that's certainly because my efs IS corrupted (last thing I saw on the phone was corrupted filenames there) :confused:

i rooted my htc wildfire a few weeks ago, tried to install cm7 with ROM manager, but only the startup skater from cm started and when it was doen, it started over and over.

I used my backup but now it wont start up, i see the htc boot logo, and nothing happens. Just the boot logo.

I still can come in recovery. Tried things from other topics but all didnt work.

Factory reset, install original rom. But in a topic i needed a program to fix it from the shipped-rom.com site but i can't connect to the site.

Someone knows how to fix it? i really want my phone back.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Guys, my new S2 arrives next week. What's the best, fastest, cleanest rooted ROM?

Used all sorts on my Desire and settled on Cm7. Hate Miui.

What's out there? Needs to be very stable and have decent battery life too and 100% functional.

Also not heard much off app and data 2 sd. Are these no longer needed given the galaxy has more internal storage?

Suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddardhab:
ummm..why not cm7?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrRobinson:
Yea if you are settled on CM7 then the nightlies apparently work fine here. They don't have a "stable" yet but I always used the nightlies on my Nexus S and had little to no issues.

I too hate MIUI so if you have tastes like me maybe give VillianROM a try. That's what I'm going to try out first when my sgs2 comes next week.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techvir:
I had sort of similar needs

1. CM is not fully stable and fn for everyones needs. However i occasionally try it. I am sure in the coming weeks it will be very stable.

2. I now use gingermod rom by luca. Very much like asop rom , but the best thing is that he has made samsung apps into invidual packages. So u can install the things u need.

eg: samsung drive is such a useful thing.

Hi all

I am still learning and this question crosses my mind alot. We know the fact that rooting our phone will just void the warranty. I know you will say : flash it when you are about to return for warranty and reset binary with jig.

Now, when we need to return for warranty, this mean that there is something wrong with the phone. This issues can be as simple as button not working to some complex issue.

Lets say. It is the volume button is the one that is broken.

"how are we going to flash when the button we need to flash is not working?

I really want to root my phone but the question above has made me very worried.

Have you had any experience with this kind of situationn

Thanks all
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
if you root it you will have cwm (clock work mode) on your phone which will allow you to put it in download mode from your touch screen.

CWM has a variety of flashing options built into, that why most people root their phones besides giving access to the firmware of the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
First question is why root >> You only root if you actually need root .

As posted CWM has recovery .

Warranty Custom rom voids warranty.

Rooting voids warranty .

Signs of custom rom are custom rom counter set above zero .

Return to stock for warranty is flash stock rom wipes root and reset custom rom counter to zero using USB jig .

Rooted phone and cannot carry out above then its a risk regards returning for warranty and will depend upon the nature of the fault and the service guy himself .

Thats the risk you take and i would put that as a 50/1 shot about a 2% risk of phone user having to pay for repairs .Though by not following instructions risk rises considerably .

You won't need the volume keys when you use a USB jig.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bloomfield87:
Does the USB jig put the phone into download mode then? I don't have one (not going to bother unless I need to send the phone away) so don't actually know what it does other than resetting the counter :).

You can also use Advanced Power Menu to restart the phone in download/recovery, I use this as it's much more convenient than turning the phone off then holding the button combo.

I haven't used the CWM app but I'm guessing that can restart in download mode too?

But I guess if the jig puts it in download mode none of this matters really since to reset the counter you will need one anyways.

I have recently flashed the JVS firmware from samsung firmware, and then followed that up with this CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS, flashing via the PDA section in ODIN. My phone has been working perfectly for a few days, no problems at all, until right now when I've gone to restart the phone.. I was having troubles with the market, and I turned my phone off mid-download of an app.. I'm pretty sure it was mid-download and not mid-installation of it..

However, when I turn my phone back on, it'll show the Galaxy S I9000 screen, then go to the next screen with the glowing S, however after that, it just gives a quick, short vibration, and seems to turn off, then do it all over again..

What does this mean? Is there a way I can get out of it without re-flashing the entire firmware? I am still able to get into download mode, but I don't want to lose messages that I have saved on my phone..

Any help is greatly appreciated..

Could be a corruption in the bootloader, if it happens again i would reflash. Otherwise just leave it i guess, maybe it was a one off
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
It happens pretty much all the time now.. I have reflashed the firmware a couple of times.. And it still seems to happen. What would wiping the cache remove? Will I lose any settings or anything that I have on the phone? I have been restoring backups made using titanium, however just apps and data, not system settings..

If it's the bootloader, is there any way of fixing that?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Ah that could be the problem. Sometimes when you restore backup they can conflict and thus cause issues like this...

Try only return the data, that works for me. Get app list from the market and after a backup move to external sd. Format internal sd card. Then do an Odin flash with repartition checked. This is designed to get you back to factory state, so you will loose everything. Make sure your backups are not on your internal sd when you format. Also before you flash i think its a good idea to put a copy of your nandroid backup into the internal sd. Or just use a nandroid backup from when you phone was working fine.

Deleting cache does not delete your settings usually, however when deleting dalvick cache it can take up to 30 mins (max i think) to start you phone, but usually its 5/10 mins.

Yes bootloader can be fixed just find a flashable bootloader with a rom or the directions given. Use search for this
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Ok thanks for the tips Talon.. Firstly, this nandroid backup that I keep hearing about.. What exactly is that? Is that the backup that I do through Clockwork Mod Recovery? I'm also unsure how to return just the data to apps? I had a look at Titanium Backup, and the only data recovery option is for system data.. Everything else I think I can handle..

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Yes nandroid backup is the backup through CWM. You should always do one BEFORE you flash anything on your phone. And keep them in a safe place and leave one in your internal sd card.

You should use titanium backup to backup up a single app at a time, not batch. This way you'll have more files and can choose which apps you want to return, and if you only want to return the data. (I have always done it this way, so i dont know if you can pick the apps you want to return if you do backup via batch.). Use the other app i suggested to keep the market links, so you download the app from market first then you install the data once its there.

I suggest you don't return any apps at first see how it goes, then add either a couple or one at a time, again only the app data. (Once you backuo the app individually, flash then, TB, backup/restore press on the app, restore, then pick data only...) If you go from froyo to GB i think you cant do it)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Thank you very much for your reply Talon. I am currently on JVS, and plan to re-flash this exact same firmware, which is the stock firmware, nothing custom..

As for what you've written, it's going to take me a few reads before I can get my head around it, but I just wanted to say thankyou for a quick and detailed reply. I think I might just bite the bullet and figure out which apps I actually use, and just work with them for now..

I'll post back soon hopefully with results.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
After getting very frustrated with the phone, I've finally re-flashed back to a seemingly stock situation. Phone is running great, and all problems seem to be gone. Slowly re-downloading apps from the market as I feel that I need them, so I hopefully won't get any interference from the old backups I had..

One more question, how do you make your backups? If you say you don't use the batch mode in Titanium? I can't see any other way that's as easy..

Thanks for your help Talon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
As i said before, backup/restore click on the app you want to back up, and click backup. When you want to restore it, back to the menu, click on the app, click restore, then pick data only longer but safer

Change the location of TB to your exsd if you haven't already, then go to setting find, and it will make it default location

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
If you had followed the instructions while posting this thread you would have seen, after typing your title a thread called [guide] 2.3.7 ota -D720 (NS4G) and given that that title alone pretty much answers your whole question I'm going to leave it at that. Please follow forum guidelines for posting new threads in the future.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmcquake:
At the moment 2.3.7 is only for the NS4G and enables Google Wallet to allow NFC payments. Google has been working primarily with Sprint, Citibank, and Mastercard on Google Wallet and since there isn't a GSM NS on Sprint, it is unlikely that the GSM NS will get the update anytime soon. At least until other carrier/bank agreements have been created and the kinks have been worked out of the NFC payment system.

Personally, I don't think the GSM NS will receive the 2.3.7 update since Ice Cream Sandwich is so close to launch.

If I tap my device, I can hear a very, very small noise--something a bit more than the noise it would make from just the tap itself. This, I presume, would be the reverberation from my tap, caused by the vibration mechanism.
