Yes i mean Carrier IQ. Thx 4the correction.

My point is, if you can't trust manufacturers to have 'safe' practice in creating preinstalled apps, how can you trust aftermarket 3rd party developers?

This security issue needs to get straightened out a little bit by G, i think.

Just read some reviews and the dock's trackpad was mentioned as a problem. Apparently there is no toggle to disable it, causing accidental cursor moves and such? I do that all the time with notebooks and such already, kinda disappointing that there won't be a disable toggle. That should be possible to rig up in ROMS though, I assume.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darth_suicune:
Reading the official manual, the dock has a key to enable/disable the trackpad (Page 9-11)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] js931:
and i bet there will be some skilled xda dev that makes a program/hack to automatically disable the trackpad while typing ;-)

You can always use the keyboard shortcut button to disable the trackpad...same as the first gen transformer

Hi,

I have downloaded UAE firmware and now i cant update my phone through kis, i am trying to revert back to a firmware that Kis can recognise.

Since i changed the firmware to UAE, the camera quality went really bad, when i spoke to Samsung, they told me its the firmware and you need to revert back and they are sure the camera quality will be better.

I am currently on

Android 2.3.5

Base version: I9100XXKI4

kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPK2-CL655700

Build: GINGERBREAD.JPKJ2

Any idea how Please?

Question what firmware do you want original branded firmware or generic Samsung stock firmware .

From the link posted if you read down you come to .

XWKH4

Android 2.3.4

This package has: PDA: XWKH4| Modem/phone: XXKH3| CSC: XEUKD1

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/WWT5Q0XJAP

Its UK firmware that should update via KIES and is nothing to do with rooting .

Backup before installing and backup your EFS if you have not done so .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamin82:
Thanks for this.

latest firmware will do

Couple a questions. what does EFS stand for?

Also, the file appear to be an .exe extension. is this something i should worry about.

i though in order to go back to UK firmware i need to install a different Kernel or something like that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim87:
The exe is a self extracting 7zip file which contains the firmware in tar format.

Hi,

I have 2 Desires, one of them is fully functional PVT1, and other is half dead PVT4. I'm aware of differences between those two models, but I still have short and very important question:

Is it safe to flash a nandroid from PVT1 model to PVT4 model and vice versa?

I'm planning to do manual nandroid restore from fastboot by flashing only these images: boot.img, system.img and data.img. Afaik, recovery should support PVT4 models (different addressing), and who manage addressing when it comes to flashing images? Bootloader/SPL? Or image already contains destination address...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
I don't see why not.. why don't you just restore the backup with recovery?

If you explained to us why your other one is half dead then maybe we could help you?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakore:
Thanks for reply.

Just imagine you have faulty SD card reader :)

The phone is messed up (doesn't boot, recovery is also gone and all I get is bootloader) so I want to reflash it from scratch. I think fastboot is the easiest way to do it. All I'm wondering right now is what happens if I want to "mirror" my PVT1 to that PVT4 model. Common sense tells me it's safe... Different 'erase size' and lack of information is what bothers me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Why don't you just use a RUU and return it to sctock, then send it to HTC for warranty repair?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakore:
Already tried that. It fails at 'radio' part. Actually, we're talking about this phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365335

I'm willing to repair it since the owner has nothing to lose. HTC diagnosed the mainboard has to be replaced. Unfortunately, phone has no valid warranty so free repair is out of options.

well you can't fix it either, radio brick is irreparable..

I am using a galaxy s2 GT-I9100

Last night I decided to go back to the original ROM. When i turned on my phone and got to the "desktop", i found that the colors were faded into an unnatural white and that the banding from darker images was terrible (might be due to the fact that the screen is lighter).

I have tied changing the Colour/Screen Profiles, i have tried reflashing to the original ROM and also to the one i was using before. Nothing works.

What bothers me is the following: before doing any of this (when the phone was working fine) i made a back up. Now, when i restore that back up, the weird white and banding dont go away... :confused:

Can anyone please help me?

Hi Guys

Tomorrow I upgrade from Dell Streak 5 to Samsung Galaxy NOTE !

Bit unsure so please convince me I am 100% right doing this I am 99% sure

Love the Dell Streak hoping I am gonna love the NOTE even more for the next two years

Any Streak owners out there made the same move ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SXiCate:
I'm just waiting for the white Note to make an official appearance in the UK and then I'll be doing the same ... Trying to justify to myself that I need that extra 0.3 of an inch but the overall performance compared to the Streak and future android updates are the clinchers for me :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AC07:
been using dell for year, Note is much better, you won't be disappointed... dell is good, but note is a lot lighter and faster... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cu_ninja:
I had the Streak for a while and while it was good, the Note is a lot better in my opinion. You won't regret it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.W:
I had the Streak and really loved it. I would flash every new Streakdroid rom that DJ Steve made. But it reached a point of diminishing returns where no matter how good the new ROMs were the device performance was not improving much. So I swapped it out for a Galaxy SII over the summer and didn't miss the size so much. But when I saw the Note I knew I had to have it. It is so much better than the Streak, faster, better screen, and I love the SPen. I can go into a meeting or seminar and take notes on the Note and not worry about carrying a separate notebook. Even though its not noticeably thinner than the Streak, it just feels better in your hand, mostly due to the difference in weight.

So, basically, my advice is to go for it. You will love the Note and not regret it for a moment.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] awtchan:
+1 from the good old Streak camp
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
I owned a Dell Streak.

The Note takes everything to the next level performance wise. The screen alone is worth the leap.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
The difference in physical screen size pales in comparison to the difference in resolution! IMO, the Streak should have been 1024x600, or qHD, at the very least.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sketch-UK:
I'm also a refugee from streak land.

I loved the Streak, but was disappointed by Dell's lack of marketing and support.

My first 2 weeks with the note blow the streak out of the water. The screen is brighter and crisper. The UI is responsive and it seem likely that Samsung will support the device with updates for far longer than Dell.

The only downside so far is the touch wiz UI being aimed at portrait use only. I know other launchers will offer that option, but I've heard that they are a bit slower. When i get time, i will have to try them out.

Hello all,

due to the fact, that there are already activities to compile ICS for a lot of other devices, i have taken the liberty to open a thread for all Dev's and those who are interested in getting ICS to work on cooper. Hope that this is ok...

slaid480 but ext4 works on CM. I think the problem exist in the kernel confing or init file, I have compare all files in the boot.img form ICS witch the files from CM 7.2 RC1 Axel boot.img and didn't find any important differences, only I can't compare init file because is it a binary file. If we will use rfs w need to reformat data, system and cache partitions to rfs, and I don't think this is a good idea because rfs is much slower then ext4.
