What do you think?

A 5" phone with integrated hardware, (experia play like controls) alongside a HD display and a Tegra 2 processor would have been nice, or would it have pushed the price a bit too high to copete in the multimedia market?
[Off-topic] zBusterCB87:
I bought it and this thing is really nice! :D

My experience:

I had an ipod touch 2g, then an ipod touch 3g because the 2g stopped working after about a year at most. then my ipod touch 3g battery quit and I replaced it and then the device corrupted later on and i finally gave up on apple products because they are basically junk to me and never last...

So I looked around for a while for a good iPod touch alternative, and I eventually came across the Samsung galaxy 5.0 Player.

I looked over the features being very skeptical, and then I finally realized that this is what I want!

It does more than my iPdo touch, I have true GPS offline navigation with sygic, I have Gvoice texting and VoIP apps for free 2 way calling and texting over wifi.

The ear piece makes it nice because I can use it like a normal phone too! :D

and the best part is, all the features of android that are stock, are what I had to jailbreak my iPod touch to get close to.

The iPod touch is locked down and it feels like an idiot box.

This android feels like the smart box! :D

And yes the resolution could have been better for the screen size, but it IS VERY CLEAR already, and it seems better than my iPod touch 3g's screen resolution!

The Bluetooth is amassing too, no erroneous 10 dollar fee from apple to make it work a short while after I buy it...lol

It is basically for me, because of the google voice and gvoice VoIP and sygic apps, A WIFI ONLY CELL PHONE! :D

(YAY no data plans, no cell plans, no minutes overages, and its great for me because where I live has free wifi everywhere)

**Granted I still have my cheap dum phone for emergency calls because when your driving on the freeway to places, you do need simple calling and a few text messages avaliable, the GPS and offline maps is dome by my samsung! :D
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
A friend of mine got this when he bought a Samsung Smart TV so i've tested it a lot. I have the Galaxy Note, which is the Galaxy 5 on steroids so i compared them:

Performance:

- The Galaxy 5 is "fine" with the 1GHz, but it's pretty outdated, but it works.

Display:

- 800x480 resolution on a 5" screen. I'm sorry but it looks like ****. I can count the pixels, and the colors are washed out.

Build quality:

- Made of plastic like all the samsung devices, but it seems like Samsung has used a cheaper plastic on this one.

Conclusion: I would never ever buy this, but if i got it bundled with a Smart TV without a price increase i wouldn't protest. It's fine to use it as a remote for the TV, and that's about it.

[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
Hi Everyone,

I have an XT860 and keep a copy of my ~28gb music collection on my MicroSD Card loaded in android device. Every so often, I'll notice that I'm missing files. I checked the lost.dir and had to delete about 6GB of files in there. After reading up on the issue, people in forums had mentioned to do a format from the phone which I have done, and I always unmount the card in Windows the nice way.

I think this happens when the battery dies (which, as we all know is quite often, there is no phone standby fix yet for my phone), or when I crash.

Is there a way to use a more robust filesystem on the SD card so a simple crash doesn't corrupt the whole thing? I was using the same card with a Blackberry Torch for about 4 months and never had this issue.

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
I bought a Kingston 32gb class 10 SD card and copied all my files to it (from the previous SD card). It worked great for a week. Then last night I started getting errors about the card either being damaged or unmounted. Googling hasn't told me much. Is there a special way to prepare a 32gb card, is class 10 too fast for my Inspire, does anyone know anything about this? I did find the following in a discussion on creating a gold card, so I'm trying it now (don't know if it will work--I'm running H2testw on the card right now before trying it in the phone again).

Thanks for any help on this.

QUOTED MATERIAL BEGINS HERE

When reformatting the card, Windows will place the DOS boot record at sector 0 and the MBR after the DOS boot record. The SD Card user module is not capable of working when the DOS boot record is placed in Sector-0.

To fix this issue, follow the steps below.

(1) Download Panasonics SDFormatter V2.0 (free utility)

(2) Insert SD card into Windows PC

(3) Format the SD card with the Panasonic utility, SDFormatter V2.0, using the following options.

- Format Type: Quick

- Format Size Adjustment: Off

(4) Eject the SD Card (**This is an Important Step**)

(5) Re-insert the SD card

(6) Format the SD card using Windows Explorer

- Right click on the SD card and select format

- Set file system to FAT

- Do not select Quick Format

(7) Eject the SD Card

(8) NOW You can proceed through the steps as normal and hex edit using the PSAS image without fear of the dialog box "Please format this drive". =D

In the above method, the Panasonic SDFormatter utility places the MBR in Sector-0 and Dos Boot Record following the MBR. With both the boot records intact, Windows will not alter the position of the boot records and will only initialize the FAT tables during formatting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
Update: I followed the steps listed above through #7 (I didn't need to create a gold card so I didn't go on to step 8). My card has worked fine since then.
[HTC Inspire 4G] t4duzan:
Very nice! I followed your instructions and got my 16 GB card back. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] LateralOctober:
Is the extra money for a class 10 really worth it for a phone though?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
The faster speed seems to be allowing much better sound and video synch in videos. Not sure about other read/write operations.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bataya:
Hi, i have some problem. I folow your instructio and all work well until i reboot phone, after that i get message sdcad demaged, only format from android help but after that MBR is gone. Any idea?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
No, I'm just quoting what I found on the net that seemed to help in my case. I didn't come up with the "fix".
[HTC Inspire 4G] bataya:
Ok, tnx for reply.

Sent using Tt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] t4duzan:
I had to reformat mine again, as last night it just went blank in my phone. Not a big deal as the process took about an hour, but as the process worked, but I'm wondering why the card went bad again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] t4duzan:
Once I went to listen to my music after this last time of fixing the card, I found that it was messed up again. I think the culprit might have been because when you reformat the card and it's put back into the phone, there are certain folders created. I connected my phone to the computer and accessed the card that way. I copied all of my folders back onto the card and in the process, overwrote the new folders. This might have something to do with it not responding and I must have copied over the problem again, so this last time after reformatting again, I only copied over all folders, except for the existing ones on the card and it seems to be working correctly again. I say it's working correctly because I can see my music again. Hopefully this might help someone who's experiencing some problems in the future and give a little insight on trying not to copy the problem file back onto your card, like I did.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spongers:
After searching the forum I cannot find the answer, so I am hoping someone has run into this issue as well.

I have been using Task's ROM since version one, and everytime I flash I restore my apps and app data from Titanium (no system data), which works fine every time. However, one of those times I decided to run the Market Doctor and "fix" the market links. What I forgot about before I did that is not all of my apps come from the Android market, some come from the Amazon market. So the apps from the Amazon market are now associated with the android market and show up as needing to be updated, which fails of course because some are paid apps on Android so the download/install is declined. I have tried uninstalling from Android and reinstalling from amazon, then restoring data only from Titanium, but the Android market still hangs on to them. Is there anyway to "unfix" what Titanium did via the Market Doctor? This also applies even after wiping and installing a new ROM because it is now associated with the Android market on their end, not only on my device of course.

Any thoughts? Thanks everyon!

[HTC Desire S] Jahai:
Hey guys,

i'm new to the android scene and aren't very experienced.

I own a rooted htc desire s and want to use a custom sense rom.

Which one do you would recommend for a normal use of the phone? (RCMix3d Runny S, VoidU S or Virtuous Unity?)

Thank you :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
VoidU S. I used this ROM for over a week. BEST SENSE ROM EVER.
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
VoidU is definately fastest! Especially when combined with UnityV9 kernel, overclocked.

Been using it for a while now (changing roms regularly to check what's up).
[HTC Desire S] Jahai:
Thank you very much :) So i go with the VoidU Rom.

And that Kernel combination? Do I have to instal the Rom first and then install the kernel from the zip? Or at first the kernel and then the Rom?
[HTC Desire S] Desire_fanatic:
But VoidU has problems with Whatsapp FC no? so for those of us who use it everyday, which rom you suggest?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
VoidU has a solution in the thread somewhere. I'll always reccomend this ROM. imIt's just too good.
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
best way is to first flash the rom, boot it up and set it up, wait a bit till its fully loaded, and then reboot into recovery and flash the kernel (if u need it, default kernel works fine as hell too ;))
[HTC Desire S] Jahai:
thank you very much! :)
[HTC Desire S] kristoaster:
I'm using the Saga LBC Mod and it's pretty quick. I've not ever had trouble with speed though, so it's not that big an issue for me. On my old Hero, however...
[HTC Desire S] Lacuna666:
..for me Runny, I had slight problems with the others
[HTC Desire S] nevara:
hmm... stock sense 3.0 that came with the latest ota update? :)
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Read here!

:D
[HTC Desire S] Jahai:
Tried VoidU and noticed that its much faster for me then Virtuous Unity.

Got 2608 points in quadrant benchmark with the VoidU S ROM and the Unity v9 kernel ;)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I would say Runny v1.4

I've tried all the ROMs by Proxuser, and in my opinion the best is currently the Runny v1.4.

Been using it regularly for a couple of days and have found it to be very smooth, stable, sense 3.5 is a dream come true, the RCMIX3D tweaks are done just right and the battery life is superb.

Would definitely recommend this one. VoidU is a good alternative too.

I flashed this splash screen

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16307117&postcount=11552

but I do not know how to revert it back to the stock splash screen with the white background. I have tried to reflash the ROM but the splash screen is still has not changed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
Flashing a ROM will not change the splash screen. You need to find a ZIP of the stock splash screen that you can flash the same as you did the custom splash. You should be able to find one by searching.

I have HTC Inspire

I updated my clockwork mod today to the v5.0.2.0. I installed to try a new rom.

I went to turn phone on and phone stuck on HTC screen. I go into recovery.

I cannot do anything in recovery. Everything i select takes me to the little black hat picture with a oranage round circle...like a loading screen. It just sits there.

I cannot boot my phone...i cannot do anything atm.

I am at a loss.... HTC Sync wont recgonize phone i guess because it wont turn on?

I do not know what to do now.

Please advise if anyone has any idea.

Thank you
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
First thing to try is to pull the battery out. Then put it back in and try rebooting the phone. See what happens after you try that and post back the results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm4481:
thank you for the reply.

yes that was the first thing i tried. Even left it out while i went to lunch to see if time might have a factor. No luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
How did you update clockwork? Did you use Rom Manager or a PD98IMG.zip file? I know Rom Manger did have a few issues lately with updating clockwork incorrectly. You could try updating it again using a PD98IMG.zip of it.

And what does "everything" include in clockwork that you have tried that you mentioned in the first post?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm4481:
Thank you for the reply. everything...means everything. the first boot screen you select an option and then it take you to the recovery screen. anything i select there just brings up the clcokworkmod black hat with a circle..if i press the select button again it takes back to menu...

I tried doing a zip i saw somewhere else. you see i cant even get access to my phones sdcard on my computer. i had to take my sd card out and put it in a friends phone to add a zip file to the root directory. i didnt do the file you mentioned. i did the file PB99IMG with failure...

omg that reminds me i was suppose to rename it.......

now im looking and cant find the thread that said i was supposed to rename it

could you please tell me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Well you just can't rename something and expect it to work the same way. Not to mention I said the name in an earlier post. Have a look at this thread and see if it helps you. Gene Poole also posted a PD98IMG.zip recovery there. I just said it again. PD98IMG.zip

Hello,

i've flashed a jvs stock rom and afterwards the speedmod kernel (don't really want to switch the kernel)

Since i've installed a new version on my smartphone i just get 1-2 bars sitting on my couch (my notebook gets full signal strength at the same place)

Is it possible to install another WiFi driver without switching to another Kernel?

Where to get a driver and which to use?

I just want a better wifi signal on my smartphone.

And it's not the wall, as some others said in this forum in other threads.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
Hi all,

like many I've seen in here, I love the features and designs of the custom ROMS, but there are a few apps from SE which we like to keep. The thing is, if I copy and paste them into system/app and set permissions, the apps still don't work, they force quit. What do you do to make them work? E.g. original calendar, alarm etc.? do you need to copy SE settings.apk or something else?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ChavitoArg:
You cant install them because those apps are not compatible with custom roms
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
Huh? I've read some people say here that they've installed some original SE apps like alarm etc.

Also, I have successfully installed the newest version of the phonebook and dialer and the original camera - they're really nice.

But I can't install the others - I especially want the original alarm, calendar (the SE one doesn't require internet, it is ABSURD to require a connected account and internet for a quick look at a calendar, and I do not want or need appointments in my phone), notes etc.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ChavitoArg:
What rom do you use?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
I've been using GingerDXv15 but just installed MiniCM2.1. Again, the camera and phonebook from newer SE roms are working fine in both...but the rest of the apps, no.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ChavitoArg:
From newer SE roms, not from SE 2..1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
Umm

Camera - SE 2.1

Phonebook - SE 2.3
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
It is because standard apps require stuff from SE framework. Custom Roms use CM framework.

You would need to either modify the app or the framework to fix dependencies.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jodhaniohm97:
Could you please provide me the link of apps? I also want to have stock camera.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
Hi, the camera doesn't work in every ROM but I'm currently test MiniCM and it definitely works, in fact, the newer framework (ArcMini theme) makes it better than it did in stock 2.1 if you ask me.

So copy it to system/app using Root Explorer with these permissions:

x x

x

x

For MiniCM, there is the stock Android camera in there, I just left that there (for the video) because the stock camera doesn't use the video, it closes the app. I use the same permissions with the phonebook.

P.s. these mods of apps are not of my creation, thank you to those who provided them (I collected them a long time ago on here). Thank you!
