It sounds as if your SGS is tied to a carrier, in which case you are dependent on them for their version of the upgrade.

I would contact them first. If you get no joy there your only option is to "unlock" the phone from that carrier, thus enabling Kies to give you the generic upgrade.

This is what I did. I was locked to o2, here in the UK. Upon unlocking I get the latest generic update via Kies as soon as it becomes available, which is months before o2.

Hello,

ich have a desire s. I have s-off und root. I dont want to install a custom rom but woulg like to have a new kernel to oc the cpu...i would prefer the "Unity V9".

So my question:

How can i install the kernel on a stock rom ?

Thx

Mace
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Just like on a custom one (put the .zip on the sdcard, go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, install .zip from sdcard, reboot the phone). Easiest way is to use a custom recovery (CWM or 4EXT). Useful links here
[HTC Desire S] Mace490:
THX for the answear :)

And the Unity V9 kernel works with the stock rom ? there are no problems?

Do i have to do any backups because of wping cache und dalvik?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Do a Nandroid backup if you like (recommended).

At the Unity V9 thread it is stated:

Compatible with:

All Sense ROM's based on Android 2.3.4 - 2.3.5 >
[HTC Desire S] Mace490:
i just ried it and it sais "Installation aborted" Status 7

what can i do?

and which kernel would you recommend to me?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Check in your Settings - probably you are on Android 2.3.3 still.

Also check the MD5 Sum of the kernel.
[HTC Desire S] Mace490:
Ok thx, i have 2.3.3 so i have to take another kernel...

Does the Tiamat support 2.3.3 ?
[HTC Desire S] Mace490:
I just realized that my wifi does not work anymore... it sais "error" at the wifi settings ?

What can i do now?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Reboot the phone. If it is not working and you have remembered WiFi networks, delete and add them again.

If you receive an error still restore you Nand backup (if you have one).

Or just check your kernel version in the settings and download the same kernel from here and reflash
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Tiamat Kernel is for no Sense ROMs
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Land Rover Defender:
Has anyone else had any problems similar to the below? I've had my phone for about 6 weeks and its been fine apart from the standard issues others are having, it''s not rooted and apart from maybe 10 apps installed is as it arrived.

Today I noticed it was exceptionally warm in my pocket (Top shirt pocket not trouser) to the point where I was getting worried, when I checked the screen it had used about 50% battery in less than 2 hours! So I checked what was rinsing the battery and it reported Android OS, the screen and phone idle all as top players.

I decided to reboot to see if that stopped it getting hot, still the same used another 25% battery in 30 minutes. Shut down took battery out rebooted still draining the battery and getting hot.

At this point the strange behavior started when the phone rebooted it said I had 5 missed calls and a text message. Checked missed calls non there, tried to read text message and it wasn't there but the notification was still at the top so I accessed the message from there and replied. Went back to message inbox still no message locked screen and still reports 5 missed calls that are not in the call log!!!!

Battery has now died and it's only been on a few hours!

The getting hot thing has worried me more than anything as the phone wasn't doing anything......anyone got any ideas please?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prinzhernan:
Restore factory settings or use the pc suite to repair the phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sathish087:

I also had a battery problem. It was the facebook application that caused the trouble. I deleted all the facebook's data, and today I have no more problem
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Land Rover Defender:
Thank you for all your replies, I tried resetting the phone settings and that made no difference at all so I did a factory reset...........just spent the last few hours re-installing everything and setting everything up :(.

The battery performance has gone back to normal but I think the phone is definately running hotter than it was, I can actually feel it in my shirt pocket now whereas before I could just feel the weight of it.

Total newbie question I know but now the phone seems to be running normally again is there a way to back it up exactly as it is? I.e. keeping all my K9 mail settings, installed apps etc etc, it's taken hours to put it all back and I don't fancy doing it again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prinzhernan:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] necrohades:
i think this have been fixed by a Touchpad Calibration update by service centers since late last month.

anyone can confirm this? i am about to get a 'grey market' phone that have the exact same problem. if the calibration will have it fixed, then i'm going to get it for sure :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] uni3que:
yea u can even install astro file manager from android market which helps keeping your application ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] necrohades:
Not much activity here eh?

I just want to find out if the touch screen unresponsiveness, overheating, and crazy menu/back button behavior has been resolved by the touchpad calibration done by SE service centers? Is there a way we can resolve, or update the touchpad drivers ourselves?

Thanks in advance!

[HD7 General] scoob101:
Anyone know if HTC plan to release a firmware update to support tethering on the HD7?

Whilst Mango supports tethering (dependent on carrier) - the stock HD7 firmware does not.

HTC have already publicly said that they did not have enough time to update the firmware for tethering to coincide with Mango.

Any info much appreciated!
[HD7 General] Nanopox:
HTC have also announced that they are 'working hard' to get the tethering update out to users as soon as possible
[HD7 General] surferd718:
pretty sure its going to be after they get everyone updated. they need to hurry up with that
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
yes, HTC plans to create new wireless radio driver to enable Internet Sharing for current WP7 devices.

however...

it is up to Mobile Operators on whether devices actually get this feature enabled.

[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

I decided I wanted to try going without sense. Installed golauncher ex and set it up. installed widgetlocker and set it up. everything was working fine.

I made a nandroid backup.

I flashed smoking1337's DeSensify script. all my widgets were gone but everything seemed to be working fine. I reinstalled all my widgets...and they started acting weird. when I would press and hold on one, and drag it, it would create a second copy...I deleted all the double copies, rebooted the phone, all the widgets were gone.

I set them up again. today in the morning, I noticed K9 was constantly trying to check email, and then started getting FCs on all the google apps...then superuser crashed.

I figured something went wrong with the script. went into recovery, wiped everything, restored nandroid.

rebooted the phone. seemed fine. then it started again. k9 constantly checking, none of my desktop visualizer widgets would work, even though they were to app organizer shortcuts and those worked going through the app drawer.

then superuser crashed again.

considering i've already wiped and nandroid'd back to before I flashed the script, what could be causing this issue?

i'm downloading the latest SteelROM to copy superuser from it and push it to my phone...but i'm concerned as to what caused this?

thanks.

You can port this yourself. It's pretty easy. Use ThemePorter (Google it for download).

Where do you push these apk's to?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
system/app

but dont, they are not ported. those are original apk's

atleast when I pushed them I kept getting FC's. Even had trouble reverting back and had to re-flash my rom :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justwonder:
After copy, you need to change change permissions to

Owner: Read, Write, Execute

Group: Read, Write

Others: Read

I used Root Explorer to do so
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Thank you so much for the work done here, it does works, after closing a couple of FC and pushing does 2 files to the system, it looks great, thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlee0921:
after you changed the permissions, did you reset?

i copied those 2 files, changed permissions, restarted, and still got FC's. i just copied back the original apks and now everything works.

are there any other steps you took to make it work?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justwonder:
Would you like to up load your apks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Nope, I didn't reset and it worked, this is what I did, using ES File Explorer with Root enabled, I moved to another folder these 2 files Phone.apk & Contacts.apk, as soon as I did that I started getting hit with FCs but little by little and after like 15 FC I was able to move into /system/apps the new Phone & Contacts apks, as soon as I moved them there the FCs stopped, also dont forget to set the permissions :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
It does work with Gingerbread Roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texas83:
I just renamed the original Phone and Contacts files to Phone.apk.bak and left them in there. Then I copied in the two replacement files, changed permissions, and stilllllll getting FCs! On Starbusrt v1.4. ?

These apks from deodexed stock rom, may not work on custom rom, if you like to try, please upload yours

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
I was thinking a bit more about this today, why it works for some and not others. The NoCIQ may have something to do with it, maybe? I am using the NoCIQ mod and the apk just FC on me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
I am using Starburst v1.4 with NoCIQ, once I move them out of system/app it automaticaly gives me FC every 10 seconds but I am able to move to system/app those 2 files, Contacts.apk and Phone.apk (the ones posted by user justwonder), once I do that then the FCs stop, I didnt reset the phone, Im also using the stock kernel, not that it matters. I did this with ES File Explorer set on Root. I hope you guys get it all sorted out, it is a nice dialer :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
meh, did the same but with root expolorer. maybe my rom has something to do with it. I dont feel like switching, using AEMod version 3.1 I think the rom is on like Version 4 now, lol. The theme is overdone on new version thats why I am not updating it. Once CM7 drops I will never look back!!! It is good looking dialer though :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlee0921:
i would, but i have no idea how to do that...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KingOfThaJungle:
When you say you're using the stock kernel, are you referring to the kernel included in Starburst v1.4? Or did you flash a stock kernel after flashing the Starburst ROM? Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated!

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

So did you use the Themeporter app from the Market to get these working or did you just download them for the link that you posted?...And how did you manage to find those particular apks:p theres like a hundreds of different ones to choose from, IDK how you found the ones on post# 119 to work lol..but thank you either way!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Geronimo.USMC:
Muhuhahaha YES!

NO! Force closing on me. I'm on stock deodexed rom...Don't understand. I followed all instructions...I'm gonna review what things I did, might be the AIO mod I installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] esk02k:
Guys don't stress. If you want a custom version I'll make flashable zips for everyone. Just upload your contacts and phone apk in my thread. No problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
I posted the modded files for StarBurst 1.5. Tested and working great.

Somebody can make a flashable zip if they want to.

Make sure you haven't applied any other mods to Starburst 1.5.

Credit goes to the original creator of the files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KingOfThaJungle:
Sweet! So just to be sure, you copy these apks to the /system/app folder and replace the existing apks, and then afterwards set the permission and that should be it?...and also, previously, people were posting all they had to replace were contacts and phones, so are the tw-framework and framework-res now required for Starburst v1.5 in order for it to work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
Yes, just push phone.apk and contacts.apk to system/app and framework-res.apk and tw-framework.apk to system/framework and then reboot

the two framework files aren't needed but without them you won't have the matching tabs just the stock ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KingOfThaJungle:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anmol7ify:
How frequently one should clear dalvik cache and fix permission? ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
It does not have a rule. If you face problems with phone app,settings or any thing related to it, u can wipe cache/ dalvic cache.

And..

If you face problems with force close or slow response/ error in default/ user app, u can fix permission. Usually you should do it when you install/ change gapps or some system apps.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmata01:
i have one question,this may sound stupid (sorry first time using android phones) how exactly do you Wipe dalvic cache and Fix Permissions?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyWILDFIRE:
2 ways i use

Trough ClockWorkMod Recovery... Wipe cache from the 1st screen, and wipe dalvik cache & fix permissions from advanced menu...

Or, you can use Rom Manager to fix permissions... for wiping caches i don't know if you can do it from Rom manager, exception when you are flashing a zip--> before rebooting into CWM a popup asks what do you want to wipe...:)
[Android Apps and Games] gowdemon:
The G1 is still kicking, we all know its a pretty old phone, but i am still using it, since it runs Froyo and pretty fast.

A lot of games i download from the market, doesn't run on my G1, but if it does, it will lag as hell. The G1 does have a decent graphics capability, but certainly not good for a lot of new games and games that need a lot of resource.

Here we go, the top 5 games i play on my G1.

1. Air Control

Air Control. In this simple yet addictive drawing game you take on the role of Air Traffic Controller. It is your job to direct airplanes to runways while avoiding collisions.

2. Doodle Jump

Doodle Jump. WARNING: Insanely Addictive! Jump, jump, jump to the top, top, top with the runaway hit now on Android! Guide the Doodler on a springy journey using springs, jet packs and more. Avoid baddies and blast them with your nose balls!

3. Xconstruction

Build railway tracks with the given material and run the train across the bridge. The game is extremely good.

4. Bonsai Blast

Experience the Zen of gaming nirvana with this addictive puzzle game. Shoot marbles to match 3 or more and create combos to cause a chain reaction.

5. Snesoid Emulator

You can simply forget about all the above games, if you get this emulator, i have this installed on my G1 and i download free roms from sites like RomNation and CoolRoms and play all the classic Super Nintendo games. I currently have 157 nintendo games on my G1, and there are 1000s more to download. The best part is these games has less file size. This app will work great on the G1 since, you can config the keyboard like a controller(joystick) and play without touching the screen.

If you want to try NES games, you can get Nesoid App from the market.

I will keep updating this posts with more games, you can list your favorites below, i will try them and add to the list.
[Android Apps and Games] martinglake:
Help

I love my G1 - but games are out of the question. In fact now I can't install ANY apps, even after a factory reset.

I don't know why this is because I used to have over ten....now I'm getting a low memory warning with nothing....no pictures, no music ZERO.

Now I think something is wrong somewhere...I don't think the reset I'm doing is actually wiping what I need to wipe and it's all hanging about somewhere.

What I need to know is - if I install a different ROM will I get my memory back? And how can I do a deaper wipe of the Internal storage? Clearly you have apps on your phone...an I don't want to buy a new phone until ICS has acclimatised.

Hey,

I have updated my Trophy to version 7720 of Mango, and now it's releasing soon itself so I want to restore it for the official released version.

However, when I try to restore from the backup do I get an error saying that the backup is invalid. How can I fix this problem?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
I suggest you wait and be patient until the rollout clarifies whether you actually need to go back to NoDo or whether you are fine. This has not been determined yet and there is still a good chance you might not have to go back to NoDo.

if your backup is bad worst case scenario is flashing with a rom to go back to 7004 or NoDo and then upgrade from there.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwachleman:
I have this same issue with my Samsung Focus, tried to do backup that didnt work so tried going back and reloading the factory firmware and now I am stuck at 7004. I would say to everyone to heed the advice and just stay put where you are, my guess is that Microsoft has locked down everything till 7.5 starts getting out. Id just say wait and see what happens.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiekEss:
Ok I will wait for now to see if I can rollback through an update coming soon, but I do doubt that since I have installed the 7720 version which got posted on forum here.

Is there also a guide for the flashing and a link to the good rom? Never done this before so I prefer some links to the correct ones working fine for me. :)

[LG Thrill 4G] RootTheNoob:
Something I've heard is bothering. Are lgs produced fast and crappily? Because I've heard everybody stating that these phones are dropping in price and will be outdated soon because LG throws their phone/s out into the market so fast. Is any of this true?
[LG Thrill 4G] RootTheNoob:
Anybody know?
[LG Thrill 4G] Gr8Danes:
I wouldn't say that they were going to become obsolete any quicker than any other device. Now a days, the day the phone launches, there is a bigger and better on the horizon. I think all devices after 6 months really could be said to be obsolete.

If we can get CM7 on this thing, I wouldn't be too concerned with LG and their support. As for the hardware, it is a solid device and should still compete for a while.
[LG Thrill 4G] RootTheNoob:
If I were to have the option to take it back for an Atrox, Infuse, or an Inspire, should I? Would you?
[LG Thrill 4G] Gr8Danes:
I had an Atrix (gave it to my wife), I would not trade back. The Atrix was a nice phone, and was quite fast, but overall, I like the Thrill better. As for an Inspire, battery life has been reported to be as bad or worse than the Thrill. Pretty common for HTC phones. Infuse, maybe, but it only has a single core and IMO, the SGS2 would be more tempting.

I'm sticking with the Thrill because I have another upgrade available this month, but will keep this and hope that the Prime will find it's way to AT&T soon for me to pick up in addition.

I'm pretty happy with the Thrill overall, and hope that Gingerbread sneaks out soon to make it even better. Get some CM7 lovin' and I'm all good.
