[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] d00d001:
That is exactly what customer service wanted for me to do when i called 611. They wanted me to get off from my grandfathered unlimited 5GB unlimited text to a $30 unlimited 5GB and $10 unlimited text. They said the package i had for my mytouch 3g would not work on my S2, but its been so far so good. So when i went to wallmart i went in there acting dumb as if i didn not know i "had" to change my data plan. So i dont know if i should call customer service and see if anything has changed... cause they might want really want to take me off from the old data plan i have now since i have the S2 now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:
Yep I went to Walmart also, and kept my same plan, no questions asked, called tmob while I was in the store just to make sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] treo...not!:
You can use the my account app to check.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] d00d001:
If the S2 works fine with older data plans, such as the mytouch 3g, why did the reps (3 of them) over 611 tell me i would have to change to a newer data plan? The sells person at walmart had a memo over her desk and she read that with the simcard that came with the S2 was for wifi calling. But before i could try the phone, it would not let me log into my gmail, so i had to change back to my mytouch simcard.

Android 2.3 is based on Linux 2.6.35, but Arc is using 2.6.32. Any background story we know? Discuss.
[Xperia Arc General] tiborprogmed:
hi

just to correct : this is not linux, only the kerner version .
[Xperia Arc General] baptisteguerre:
Well, it's not just linux's Kernel. Android changed a lot the linux kernel and that's why we aren't using the new 3.1 kernel (that's a shame :S).

I don't know why SE is using an outdating kernel but they may have build their drivers with the X10 kernel (or something like this)?
[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
I don't really see the significance of this, there is very little performance related going on in the Linux kernel. Userspace is where it's at now..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kix08:
Guys I'm sorry I searched google but got a million results for screenshots as you can imagine.

Question, is there ant way to improve the quality if screen shots taken with the native screen shot feature in cm 7. Or an App that would work better for now I tried a few apps but none seem to work :-[

-CM7.1 -B^-N Over Clocked via Faux123 1.45ghz V2.1 THANKS XDA DEV!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvgc3:
The quality seems fine for me, I just took a couple more screens just to be sure. Maybe it has something to do with the app you're viewing them in?

Anyway, there's the Screen Grabber that was developed specifically for the Atrix, if my understanding is correct. I don't know if it was only applicable to Moto based ROMs though. You should be able to find it on the Market or in the Themes and Apps forum here.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kix08:
Well hmmm It seems when I send the picture as mms it downgrades the quality and comes out a tad bit out if focus but the actual picture itself on my phone is perfect. Sorry for starting a thread on this. If a mod wouldn't mind deleting this I would appreciate it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anupash:
But that's not a problem of CM7 screenshot. It looks more like the compression of the image by your MMS app. Try using a different app for sending MMS like Go SMS etc.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolear8:
Mmm

Mine its fine... Do you have lag when you scroll the apps??? i have the kernel who comes with CM7
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifalldownalot:
if it's the sms app, I've noticed that gosms automatically resizes images. I've tried messing around with the settings and my contacts always say the pics come out lower resolution.

I've sent pics with the native app and everything is fine.

sad stuff because I like the customization of gosms.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dos5gw:
sorry for my poor English,,,:D

I make a backup by ClockWorkMod Recovery, it create a folder that named "clockworkmod/backup/2010**" on SD-Card, this folder contains some files as follow :

boot.img

cache.ext3.tar

data.ext3.tar

nandroid.md5

system.ext3.tar

my question is, Does ClockWorkMod Recovery Backup Files includes Baseband ?

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nepotu:
The baseband files are stored in system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default. Since the system partition (system.ext3.tar) is backed up it will restore also the baseband files.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luthium:
yeah, and if for some reason you loose it, baseband switcher it's the answer!:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayaxsd:
baseband DEFY

The problem is that you won't find the baseband from all the coutries, Mexico for example, I cant find IUSACELL's baseband for Mexico, and I have to be trying with Colombian, or Brazilian Basebands. Which sometimes they work, but just for a litle while, and then I have to look for a diferent one again because my Defy somehow looses signal.

So i went back to my original SBF that has the original Baseband,

//smackdroid.blogspot.mx/2012/03/actualiza-tu-motorola-defy-android-23.html

and still haven't found a way to BACKUP the original BASEBAND...

Any help would be thanked...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
Because it's a zip file. It's flashable only thru CWM. Odin requires .tar files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I have never tried launchers before but LCD resolution ( root ) may change all this! As I love smaller font. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BEST LAUNCHER IS? Paid or free I don't care, after all I forked out for this phone. No need to get cheap now.

******* looking for the features you love about certain launchers and things that drive you insaine in them *******

EDIT- I changed the tittle of this thread after a few posts so I didn't have to start a new thread. Ignore the first 7 posts lolz! Ghettto I know :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
My favorite launcher around. I use it on mine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rafarataneneces:
I love it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Its compatible with roms and themes I flash? Also I notice when I press my home screen soft key it gives me a choice in which launcher to use. Does my phone run them both at the same time causing the phone to lag and use up alot more ram?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Yeah... Everytime you install a launcher, you get to pick which one you want to use. go launcher is a real good launcher. i have adw ex , launcher pro, vtl launcher, and sp shell... But this one is a real good launcher for free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I don't mind paying to Have the best launcher if there is a general idea of which really is the best. But once I click on the launcher I want to use and it switches to that launcher does the other launcher completely close down and get released from ram completely or would it save open web pages and such in TW if I hit the home button and switched to GO launcher EX?

EDIT- also if I click "remember my decision" when choosing a launcher is there a way to go back later to TW?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sephirothvfc:
YA You can go back to the TW launcher once you set any launcher as default. All you need to do is go to Manage Applications and go to the Launcher you currently have as a default and hit Clear Defaults. when you hit the home button it ask you again what launcher you want to use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Sweet, thanks for the reply and the info man. I do have another question though. I saw that there's lots of themes for GO laumcher EX but I went to download one called "FutureWorld" foe GO launcher and it said it wasn't compatible with this device? How cam that be guys?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I'm bumpin this and changed the tittle to get more feed back into which LAUNCHER IS BEST :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
This question will just answered based on everyone's experience...I think you just need to take the time to mess with each one, then make your choice. Personally, I recently switched to GO launcher myself since it was included in the ROM I'm using and from my experience so far it works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
That's the first one I tried ( and only ) and do like it. What rom did it come with that you flashed? Also the reason I ask this is because I want feedback on selling points like features you found and love or things that irritate the sin into you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I find Go Launcher to be the best available. TW is the smoothest, but Go has the best of all worlds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
It really is based on preference.... Go launcher, Launcher pro, and ADW are top launchers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I purchased launcher pro, but the Dev has not updated in quite a long time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
What are the key differences that would stand out in each of those that might catch some ones preferance radar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
I personally find my self switching back and forth between all of them on whatever phone I'm using at the moment. ADW, TWIZ, launcher PRO, Go, and AOSP and even some of the mods for it. Launcher Pro was my favorite until the dev stopped updating it. Now, I'm using ADW at the moment but I may be going back to TWIZ shortly. Thats the beautiful part about Android! So many Choices!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravizzle:
Go launcher ftw!

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gqstatus0685:
Go Launcher hands down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
When launcher pro was released, it was very fluid and had extra dock shortcuts, resizing widgets, and its own LP widgets. First of its kind.

ADW was also fluid and smooth and was the first launcher to have animation swipes from screen to screen... also intergrated themes.

Go launcher does and has both of the above and its free. Go launcher is free because it sells themes. In my opinion, Go launcher is a top launcher at the moment. They constantly have updates with new themes and extra go launcher services like go sms, go locker, go widgets. It definitively is a win in my book.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skykc0401:
go luancher is ez to customize too. i switch between twlauncher and go luancher depend on the theme. sometime go luancher just wont go with theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikey80021:
For a free launcher, Go is the best imo. But the one I use is SPB Shell 3D, it's like 15 bucks, but I absolutely love it. Looks so clean and smooth, but it lacks in the included widget department and customization, but there isn't a lot that I want to do with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Wow you guys are giving me great feed back. I'm sure other besides my self are also apreciating the the helpfull tips and reviews y'all have been posting thanks again guys!

EDIT- Does any one know why future world theme and some other themes say there not compatible with my device even though there made just for GO launcher EX?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I think the best would depend upon your needs and preferences. I use ADW eX on my tablet. On my ET I find myself liking the SPB Shell 3D.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahl395:
GO Launcher!

Unlimited number of home screens, TONS of options, and LOADS of effects! It combines many of the awesome features from ADW and Launcher Pro, and adds more! :D I love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Broded:
I just started using Espierlauncher, its pretty slick, and it confuses the hell out of people who have iPhones. But most of the I'm using GO launcher with the sense theme, Sense clock, and the ICS wallpaper flipped over.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Nice to see the $399 Woot deal not be a refurbished unit this time.

Link.
[Xoom General] xfinrodx:
My $339 refurb came with "Refurbished by Motorola" etched on the back, with one of those silly factory screen covers that point to the camera, privacy led and buttons, accessories in factory sealed bags... Even one of the fake micro-SD cards that warn you to update your software before putting a card in! Basically new. Woo seems legit to me, and if a refurb was basically new I would not be worried about getting a new one from them!
[Xoom General] okantomi:
You got an amazing deal. I loved it $579 and would love it at $339!
[Xoom General] e.mote:
In my experience, consumer electronic "refurbs" tend to be new, but bulk-packaged and branded as refurbs. It's one way to clear out inventory w/o hurting the official price. When considering the labor cost of a trained electronics tech and the time it takes to diagnose/repair, it's not cost-effective to refurbish most CE products.

I've opened a number of "refurb" toys, and one can always tell if they've been opened before, because most parts are plastic and will leave traces of being pried open. All of those opened have pristine innards.

Returns are usually sold in bulk to various 2nd-hand outlets for pennies on the dollar, who will then take the time to go through the pile, sifting the good from the bad. These "recovered" items aren't sold in regular retailers, but deep discount outlets or on eBay, and are actual refurbs.

This probably isn't as universal for higher-priced CEs like tablets. Still, I'd really doubt that any of these "refurb" tabs are anything but clearanced items. We know retailers are stocking up for the holiday shopping, and old toys need to be moved.

As tempting as prices may get, my suggestion is to hold off for new product launches. Then, you'll have the option of either buying new toys, or old toys for really cheap. Black Friday (for US peeps) will have lots of bargains. I expect many of the Teg2 tabs will hit the $200-250 mark. First half of November is usually when new toys get unveiled. Asus TF Prime = Nov 9, Nook Color 2 = Nov 7. Kindle Fire will show up by then. Xoom 2 probably in same time frame, along with Tosh Excite.

In short, wait a couple of weeks.
[Xoom General] burnmatoaka:
Same here. Seriously good as new. Even if it had a ding or scratch on the case, I wouldn't have minded. I've never had a problem with a refurbished. They usually get more thoroughly tested then brand new products, since they really don't want to see it returned again. That is unless we were sold brand Xooms in refurbished clothing. I was stoked to get one for under $400, either way.

Now i just click save playlist (m3u) on bottom left tab, and then save the playlist in the phone/memory card music folder.

Done

I sent my I/O tablet to Samsung for repairing a hardware defect (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272086). I got it back today and now it's stuck in some factory mode. There is a lock displaying at the bottom of the screen during boot-up. I have an app called factory mode that seems to launch some sort of calculator. I am unable to lock the screen at all now. No matter what lock screen setting I try the screen never locks. Pushing the power button powers down the device in an instant. No more popup asking if I want to power down. I've tried a factory reset, but during the reset it's complaining about not having access to some directory. After the factory reset runs its course I'm back to square one. I'm not asked to setup wifi, create an account or anything. I'll obviously call Samsung support tomorrow to find out how the hell I get out of this factory mode. But in the meantime has anybody seen this type of behavior after getting their tablet back from Samsung support?
