[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
We have the IP restrictions in place to prevent spammers from signing up with multiple accounts. If this restriction wasn't in place, you have no idea how many spammers we'd have on the forum, posting their cheap iphones and hair dryers :p

It's also their to stop members creating multiple "scok puppet" accounts. That is, if we ban someone, it prevents them from coming straight back with another account.

Same sort of thing applies with the mobile IPs. If we have a problem with a member, and ban him, and we allowed registration by mobile IP, we would never be able to prevent them from creating new accounts, since they can just disconnect and reconnect to their network and obtain a new IP and register again.

These restrictions are all in pace to help us (moderators/admins) control the "problem" members.

I realise it's a bit of a pain in your case, but one more day won't hurt ;)

Hope that answers your question :)
[About XDA developers] Deviantelf:
I guess it makes sense, it was just really confusing on the surface, and frustrating. Thanks for answering so quickly. Can you say when the "day" rolls over? Just curious, is it our time zone or GMT/UMT or something else?
[About XDA developers] svetius:
You should be good to go again for another registration now :)

This measure is absolutely to prevent spammers and abusers from continuously re-registering accounts and not to stop legitimate users. The Verizon and AT&T IPs may have been incorrectly labeled, but they are indeed Mobile 2G/3G/4G IPs and not wireline (DSL/Cable/Fiber/etc) IPs. We are very careful about blocking any IPs from registration and we don't block a particular set of mobile IPs until abuse has occurred from that set/range.

Thanks for your understanding
[Motorola Droid 3] Cameron6472:
I know of a few different shortcuts on this phone, my two favorites being MENU + C (copy) and MENU + V (paste), but MENU + A (select all) doesn't work like it should. If I hold them at the same time, it highlights everything, but as soon as I let go of either MENU or A, it deselects the text. Am I simply doing it wrong or what?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
It's a known issue. You just have to try and press C really fast to copy all.

If you hold MENU+A and hit C at the same time, it works. Same with X.

also alt-shift-arrow doesn't always highlight the line as you would expect it would. sometimes you get the results of alt-arrow (end/home) and you have to do it again to get the shift to register. can be frustrating when trying to copy/edit links.

the moto copy-paste also interferes with android's copy-paste abilities. i've found that if you're used to how the D1 performs, blur makes it harder to use. for instance, you can't simply click the url in the browser to edit it. blur interrupts and asks you if you want to copy or share.

another thing that frustrates the crap out of me is the menu-V doesn't work in any part of the browser. instead, it asks you to save the page.

i'm hoping the tweaks done in ICS clears alot of that up (not that we'll see it on D3).

[General Questions and Answers] TehGoAT:
I have a Samsung Infuse 4G that I rooted and ROM'd (MIUI) ever since I put the ROM on, I'm unable to enter recovery mode. I've tried the manual way (Vol UP + Vol DN + Power) and I've flashed CWM via ROM manager and tried entering Recovery via ROM manager but it just sits on the "Samsung" screen. At that point I have to unseat my battery, put it back in, and power it on again. It loads the OS just fine, every time. I'm just unable to get into recovery in any way.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello everyone,

So, I am gearing up to buy a new pc pretty soon, because my current hp has pretty much run its course. I might be going into college as a computer engineer, but this could change, because I am really undecided at this point. I just want a computer that is portable enough to take to lectures, but can get the job done-- fast.

Does anyone have some suggestions? Any good computer experiences? Even a brand recommendation would be helpful.

Thanks!

Can we use some of the mods in the global sgs dev forum? I know we cant use anything that would change the modem but since the phones are very similar what can and what cant we use from the global Dev forum?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
As best as I understand the big ones to stay away from are modems, kernels, and bootloaders. As long as you don't mess with bootloaders you'll always have download mode (not that bootloaders by definition are incompatible, but 99% of what is done on a phone should not include messing with bootloaders, unnecessary risk for most people)

Just keep in mind using anything from a different phone is a risk that could make you lose all yours files and apps or worse.

People have accidentally flashed international roms and been able to recover, though it can be an uphill battle for some.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gacuna:
Hi,

I would like to know if I can change the baseband on my SGH-I777 from UCKH7 to UHKE2??? Currently the phone is like this:

PDA: I777UCKH7

PHONE: I777UCKH

CSC: I777ATTKH7

My goal is to enable CR carrier options on this phone. Is this possible? Please advice.

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Basically what I want to know is if changing the baseband the phone would be able to support "video calling" without using a 3rd party app, just by calling. Like the Global/International SG-I9100.

I see my friend's phone has baseband UHKE2, please advice if changing this, it would make any diff.

So there's no way at all to make video calls with the SGH-I777 like a normal voice call??? Just like the SG-I9100???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I haven't checked out a i9100 at all, nut I do remember er on my i897 captivate when running an i9000 ported rom we would have the call screen with the video button (until a dev for the i897 removed it). I believe it is part of the phone.apk and another .apk that had to be changed.

So I guessing it is the same on the 9100? Maybe ask one of the devs that have ported over a i9100 rom for us. I think DG is using a i9100 rom as well as the Hellraised rom too (I haven't even looked at these roms but I think they are using i9100 roms with some changes).

This would be a really nice feature too in my opinion. Not sure why it wouldn't work for us also. The reason it had to be removed from the i897 Captivate is it didn't have a front facing camera and the i9000 did. So hope you get it figured out.

Thanks for the explanation!

But i havent got it yet, so you say i wont be able to make at&t phone work as the international one? Please dont use too much tech words cause im pretty new using android :) so i get confused
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
well then you shouldnt be randomly flashing modems... its a good way to get yourself in a very, very deep hole. especially if you dont know how to get out. id suggest doing some research on what modems do... you cant change the modem and get video calling. here is a very brief explanation of what is going on.

everything on your phone is an app. just like windows has .exe android has .apk. the launcher, calendar, phone, update services and everything runs as a .apk. so when you hit the phone symbol on your launcher you are opening up an app. that app is called the phone app and is on your phone as a phone.apk. to get this video calling capabilities you would need to fins a phone.apk that supports it... but ait there's more. the phone.apk is tied into other things like telephony.apk which does stuff. and other apks, and heck een the framework (its hard to describe this one). if this video calling is specific to samsung, which i think it is, you need to have the samsung rom because you cant just take the phone.apk and make it work, it relies on other things specific to the samsung rom.

having said that, you can find a i9000 rom that has it and hellbreak it but that is a lot more complicated than i think a new guy to android can handle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It may be that there's a dependency between the phone app and the modem.

I have the video calling button since I'm running Hellraised VillainROM but I have never tried it.

Most likely AT&T's network doesn't support it and will block attempts to use it.

If there are any modem or network dependencies it won't work.

Hello,

So far, I have:

A working Android build environment (Ubuntu 11.10 x64).

Managed to build, install and boot AOSP on my Nexus S. (I have downloaded but not attempted to build CM7 yet.)

Created a Github account.

Samsung's open source files for my target device, the Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M.

I've read some documentation and forum posts about Github, but I remain unsure as to what I should do to fork in a way that:

I'll be able to keep on syncing the remainder of the code.

My new device directories and modifications could be brought back (pulled?) to the main CM7 code base.

Will avoid needless frustrating re-downloads of the source code. :p

Thanks in advance,

Darkshado
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
After some further reading, I'm beginning to grasp some git basics...

I've forked two CM7 repos so far, added them as remotes in the appropriate installations. (Instead of forking and cloning, since I already had repo sync'ed the whole CM7 source. My commits show up on Github like they should, and I should be able to merge in commits to the origin remotes.)

I'm not going to do any pull requests until I've managed to build and boot.

By the way, yesterday I attempted to build AOSP with a bunch of files overwritten by the Samsung sources (that's how they tell you to do it!!) and this failed, as I expected.

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
Update: I'm currently trying to port CM7 to the Gio 5660M. Still attempting a first successful build as I'm writing these lines.

My main issue so far has to do with the camera. I get the following error message:

make: *** No rule to make target « out/target/product/gio5660M/obj/lib/libcamera.so », needed by « out/target/product/gio5660M/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libcameraservice_intermediates/LINKED/libcameraservice.so ». Stop.

After toggling off the camera by using the stub, I hit the same error further into the build with this:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bignikescar:
hi i'm interested too.

hi I found your github because I also interested poriting cyanogemod to galaxy gio korea(SHW-M290K). the device hardware is different from s5660. so I need some modification.

and your libcamera problem is that there is some reason that the make system can't find libcamera.so, so they cannot compile libcamera service. it should be in ./vendor/samsung/gio/proprietary according to your extract-files.sh .

have one cuorisity. I searched gio android device make file. and none of them are relreased source code. how did you make them?

I found this information. it may help you.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
I'll have to update my Github, hadn't been in a rush due to lack of progress, but now my problem lies with libaudio instead.

I got the Samsung sources for the 5660M on their open source website, although I mostly worked with the CM7 ports for similar devices like Tass and Cooper as well as a Gio source provided by Phiexz but it didn't build either.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bignikescar:
proprietary does not help

do you have any progress since last time?

well, I admit that proprietary files does not help.

does your s5660m hardware identical to s5660v?

becasuse galaxy gio in Korea(shw-m290k,shw-m290s) does different hardware.

well in this case, like me, you need to hack into not only android pdk, but also android kenel.

I have seen that phiexz has released kernel with latest cyanogenmod kenel in his github and I am modifing it to shw-m290k. there are some hardware differences i have to apply to.

I suggest you to compare phiexz's kernel and samsung original kernel from samsung opensource homepage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
My problem right now is that I don't have that much spare time to put into this, and that I'm very much learning as I go, so progress is not always that quick. Also, I'd like to get my Touchwiz based ROM updated and working properly before trying to build AOSP or CM again.

Another thing I want to try is building the kernel (probably based on Phiexz's) that will support ext4, and compare performance of the Touchwiz ROM on ext4 versus RFS.

As far as we can tell, GT-S5660 (Europe/Asia) GT-S5660M, L and V are identical except for the radio firmware. People with the 5660M initially encountered issues after flashing 5660 ROMs because they also contained the AMSS image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phiexz:
my cyanogen kernel is based on samsung open source kernel ;)

because cm-kernel on cyanogenmod github dont support our device, if we wnt use that kernel we must add some hardware pofile & board for galaxy gio

so alternative is make samsung's open source kernel compatible with cyanogenmod
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
Wouldn't it be

much

better from a code maintainability standpoint to make the CM kernel work on the Gio? (Also if you ever hope to get official CM team support, that's a given.)

The way I understand repo and git, you could create a github repo for your device and board configs and add those to your repo manifest so the whole CM7 source and your modifications all sync properly.

I've forked the CM7 manifest files off github, added my gio files and removed all those extra devices I didn't need, so my repo syncs are much faster too. (The idea comes from http://slightlymorethanworthless.blogspot.com/2011/05/remove-unwanted-devices-from.html)

[myTouch 4G General] Skipjacks:
I had trouble when I set the min below 350 (or whatever the exact value is). It gets laggy after a wake up for a few seconds if I go lower. So I'd wake the phone, then have to wait a few seconds to do anything after any click on any icon while it spun up the extra power.

At 350 it was plenty to wake the phone up into a usable state and I didn't notice any lag at all going form 350 to 1000 when it needed the extra power.

Running Cyanogen and using it for 30-45 minutes of calls a day, ample texting, and 30-45 minutes of Angry Birds I get 2 full days out of the battery before I need a charge.

But I also don't leave data on. That was the battery key for me. Data turns on in 2 seconds, so I only turn it on when I need it. If I want to see a website I hit the data button and by the time the browser loads I've got a connection. Since I don't care about instant notifications of email, I just don't need data on all the time so there's no point in using battery life for it. If I ever do need it on constantly, it's available to me and I'll drop down to 1 day of battery.
