Sorry, I find Sense tacky and slow, with some weird UI elements, like the shiny sliding tabs.

Starting with ICS, they should make Sense an optional install after initial setup. Same goes to touchwiz, blur, timescape etc.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
I find sense laggy and a resource hog, overall making it a bad software product. Anyways not much interest really for either UIs. Please do no take this personally any dev, but a lot here are not actually skilled enough to achieve a port, some do not even know how to code much less. There are some, but it is few.

I know you meant it partly in jest, but in reality we already have the SGS2, we just need Razr firmware and a dedicated hacker! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] zelendel:
Guys unless you are going to be able to hack the proprietary files to tun on none supported devices it is not going to happen. Like with sense. It looks for HTC framework files and HTC drivers. Some of the best hackers here have tried and without the needed framework files and drivers it doesn't work. Not to mention the last time some one even got close they got a C&D order from HTC. So even it it could be done HTC would never allow it and MOTO would do the same

Hi I have upgraded my lg optimus 2x su660 to gingerbread but its limited to 80 characters even I use Go SMS.

How can I remove this limit?

Thanks,

Thomie
[LG Optimus 2x] kitty's_daddy:
Over 80 characters is not SMS. It is MMS.

Use handcent.
[LG Optimus 2x] supergeek1021:
I woudl ove an answer to this as well. In Korea the sms is limited to 80 characters then it becomes an sms. My korean SU660 is designed for a USIM but it accepts standard GSM sim. limit does not change with sim card change. My nokia had a 160 character limit as did my gsm samsung galaxy. I wihs i knew more about the coding for the SU660 so I coudl dig in and see if I could tweak the rom to allow for long sms. On another note if you are just texting friends and have dat on you can use Kakao talk (on android market) and send messgaes as long as you like. For me it is cheaper than a text message because I am always chatting with it.

[LG Optimus 2x] ParasoX:
I am new to xda...

I know this thread is 2 years old, but I really want to know the answer to this.

"How do I bypass / fix the 80 Characters Limitation on the LG Optimus 2X SU660?"

Do I have to upgrade the OS?

Do I have to change the Baseband?

What to do?

Thanks! :p
[LG Optimus 2x] genemini:
flash a P990 Stock or Custom ROM :)

check the SU660 development section for further instruction.

Edit: I accidentally pressed that "thanks" button LOL
[LG Optimus 2x] supergeek1021:
I have gotten past this. Once I rooted the phone using go sms as my default messaging service solved the issue. I did have to go into original SMS program and hard enter my phone number for the sent from part. You do not need to change the base band and I wouldnt upgrade unless you had a known working root option. The 80 character limit is because Korea uses UTF-8 and I have yet to find away to alter that. It seems to be the only option. I havent gone looking for custom roms for it as when I posted on here none were out. I have it working the way I want it to so really no need to mess with it on my end. Hope it helps
[LG Optimus 2x] thilina01:
Another Fix

install GO SMS Pro,

go to GO SMS Pro settings --> Advanced --> Send&Receive Settings --> scroll down --> select Split large messages check box --> scroll down --> Select Enable customized SMSC --> Customized SMSC number --> enter your service providers SMSC number.

you can find SMSC numbers for operators in the following link

[LG Optimus 2x] yuri25811:
i have the same problem as yours before. eventhough my phone is already rooted and made GO SMS PRO as my main messaging app, when i send more than 80 characs, my friends would tell me that my message is somehow not complete, and that causes me problem. so, what i did was to search for solution on net. and well, what solution i ONLY found was to ROOT my phone and FLASH a CUSTOM ROM. right now am using cm10 rom for su660, and right now, i can send completely messages with 160 characs.

If you are using any phone with Korean, Japanese, Czech etc... This trick never works. Its about android native sms system and not about the broadcasting limit
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linuxslate:
I (finally) upgraded to the Official CM7.1 and Google apps yesterday (From CM 7.03).

Wiped Dalvik only.

After the update, Market worked fine, and there was an update to Google Maps. I upgraded, did a quick test, and it seemed fine.

A few hours later, there was another Google Maps update to 6.0 (B) with Inside Maps, so I updated again -- Normal update through the Market.

I can navigate around, but doing much anything results in a freeze and FC pretty quickly.

Nothing else at all has FC since I updated.

Now the Web-Based Market says maps is incompatible with my device, but there is no official way to get a working, current Google Maps.

I know I can re-install Google Apps, but I just wanted to warn people not to try 6.0 for the moment.

I'll post a logcat if anybody wants it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Similar running GtabComb3.3 (B/L 1.2) , but the tablet will reboot shortly after launching Maps (latest updated version).

It'll reboot shortly after launching......while in Maps using it or if you just launch Maps (like accidentally or such) and exit back to the homescreen........a few seconds later...REBOOT. Every time.

I've uninstalled updates so the tablet doesn't reboot, but I need the previous version so I can at least be more updated than what comes with GtabComb :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insight3fl:
6.0.1 is out now. It worked for a few seconds and then same problem as before. Reboot and broken wifi. Had to uninstall update again.

Yes, Google Maps 6.x will not work on the Gingerbread ROMs for the GTablet... looks like an opengl issue...

So has anyone found a way to install an older version. I have tried un-installing maps and installing an old version. Keep getting, unable to install.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trock79:
I have been having the same issue on both CM7 and Flashback.

**EDIT**

After looking into the GAPPS zip I had, apparently Maps is not included. So I found a copy of maps version 5.10.1 laying around on my PC, I added it to the package and tested it. No Force closes so far. I have uploaded it for anyone else having this issue.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linuxslate:
Just saw there was a 6.03 update for my Dell Streak.

So I updated the Streak, pulled the .apk, and installed it on the GTab.

No luck. 6.03 is no better. Constant hang and FC.

I also have a 5.x around that I was smart enough to pull from the Streak before the first update to 6.0x, but thanks to trock79 for posting a fall back.

Wait for 6.04, rinse, repeat.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2mahajan:
It's fixed!

I updated the latest maps (released on 4/25) and the issue has been fixed!

Hurray!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linuxslate:
Not for me.

I wiped everything, and upgraded to Official CyanogenMod 7.2 RC2.

Installed latest (Current) Maps from market.

--> Almost immediate bad crash requiring a reboot.

I wonder if this has anything to do with 1.1 B/L vs. 1.2?

I'm on 1.1 (never upgraded)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zarret:
Hi!

I tried some of the roms and kernels in the forum but i have the same problem with them all.... When i have to turn my Tytn2 off, of it falls and the battery comes out, i have to reinstall the system, because when i start it after turning off, he gets stuck in an error.

I use the tutorial that is sticked in this topic list, i think im doing everything right... but maybe i just need an experienced advice!

Thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] n2rjt:
Be sure to use the kernel with separate cache. Search for a thread with that subject, started by scooter1556. All other kernels have the problem you describe, when running from NAND. The earlier kernels work fine for SD but not NAND.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saeen:
Hi

I m plannin to buy Arc n had question about it. Hows it multi tasking (resuming browsing after reply to friend on im+ or whatsapp) compared to Galaxy S. I m using S right now and not well satisfied with it. Please share your expr.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hygge:
It is working fine on my Xperia Arc, quick to return to previously app. The Arc can benefit from regular reboots if you need to multitask allot to free up precious memory needed to switch between apps without having them closed by the system. It all depends which apps or services you have been running and their priority in the linux kernel.

Only issue I have encountered is with DolphinHD browser, do not use this. It will reserve allot of memory even when closed down and only way to release it is by rebooting the phone. Same thing happens to my colleguages with Arcs, use default browser or opera instead.

Have tried to recieve a call while playing order and chaos, was surprised to be returned to the game right after I had finished the phone call. Would have thought the game was closed down as it need allot of memory to run.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] s15274n:
My first tablet. Have always loved the Tab so I decided to splurge. I've been browsing this section and have some ideas of what I MAY like, but I am a sucker for peoples suggestions...

Is a case even needed? I've been debating this... if it is, is the Pyro Skins considered the best? I did not see many photos of the cases on the site. Considering this VIPERTEK one also since it is the highest rated on Amazon (LINK)

I hate screen protectors... I believe the tab has gorilla glass.. assuming this is not needed?

I should be getting the tab next week.... best method of connecting to the TV for watching hulu/youtube? I was surprised there was no HDMI....

hate if you want... I have/will continue reading threads. To those who offer good suggestions, thank you. Things change... there are always new/better products.

EDIT.... being my first tablet, if there are any must have apps, I'd appreciate that too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] StreetStrip01:
Get a good case, and a nice SGP screen protector, cheap insurance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] s15274n:
Ended up ordering the pyro - black carbon fiber. Really wanted the red, but they were out. The SP in my opinion is not needed, I would think... Gorilla glass.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] slack04:
Gorrilla glass isn't all it's cracked up to be...

*rimshot*
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] s15274n:
I haven't had any issues in 3 years with it....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Thomas3G:
My tab is taken to the task by my 6 year old and myself. No issues whatsoever with the glass. Looks like new. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] beta546:
You want to get a usb adapter, then you can plug in your phone to your tab and cameras, flash drives and stuff like that, I go one for about ₤2.70, like $4.00.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] s15274n:
woah, did not realize it did not have a usb OR an hdmi. Good suggestion, will try and find one now.

What about hookups to the TV?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] beta546:
Haven't looked into tv hookup yet but I know you can do it :-) And thnks for my first thanks lol :-D

Nobody tells jokes in your houses? Jeebus.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] zuberio:
Nice choice for cover - I've got the same one :) (I'm not sporting a SP either)

Aside from the cover, like beta546 mentioned, I have the OTG USB adapter ($7 on ebay).

Finally, if you're not running or planning on running a Pershoot Kernel based ROM, then you should get/make the 'Any USB Charger' adapter so you don't always have to keep the Samsung charger around for when you need it.

App wise I'd recommend the following:

XDA Developers Forum App (haha, no-brainer there)

ColorNote

MX Video Player

Skitch

RealCalc

Skype

Ultrachron Lite

Password Safe Lite

ES File Explorer

Advanced Task Killer

LED Light (widget)

Oh, and if you do custom ROM your tab (highly recommended!) Then I suggest you get a ROM with Polaris Office in it ... or just find the apk on the forums.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] beta546:
I would also recommend some widgets like

Hd widgets

App Stack

Circle launcher

Android taskbar

You may know some of those but I think they make my tab look great :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] beta546:
Oooooooo and thumb keyboard, it is brilliant for typing :-D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] s15274n:
^ awesome. Have been wondering about that one. I picked that up when it was free on Amazon... have not installed it yet (waiting on a tablet). I am a huge Swype fanboy... will try and break my ways. THanks for all of the suggestions man.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Fatboy77:
apps

BS player or Mizuu player is awesome for videos

Titanium backup and titanium media sync (if rooted)

Dropbox or sugar sync

Dolphin browser

I second the thumb keyboard:D

If you want a really fast rom and pershoots kernal check out taskers 7.x rom over in developers section. It is awesome!!!!! Made whole tablet a completely better experience;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] beta546:
Yep Task's rom is the best, with boosted's jetstream theme, or one of his other thenes, I just like jetstream :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Fatboy77:
i second b00sted's themes. they are sweet! :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] AnimeLoverX:
in the same situation with s15274n

also using that case.

was wondering where is a good place to look into to start doing custom ROM to my tablet and my nexus s?

do they really offer something great for the hours I will be spending on reading them?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] s15274n:
^ rooting and flashing the Tab is crazy easy. Check the dev section for the guide on rooting (it is not a sticky thread for some reason).

Hi, I got my Defy today. I put the mobile for charging 2 hours ago. I'd like to know for what period should I put it for charging as it is the first time for optimum performance of the battery..

I tried searching the forum for a similar question but didn't find any. Please delete this post if it is a an already answered question.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo6o:
Doesn't matter. May be charge it for some 2 hours more. You can't overcharge the battery - it has protection. For optimum performance, just don't drain the battery to 0%, although it has protection for this too.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venkatp:
Ok, thanks, its already been 2 hours since the battery reached 100% mark. Will stop charging now.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMarv:
Although it is generally said that a new battery should be charged for at least 8 hours before use, it may not be necessary. Just fully charge it. However, the capacity may be lower and unstable at first. If charged too quickly, just take it out and reinsert it, and connect the charger, again.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pSycHicT:
What I normally do is charge it till 100% and disconnect.

Then every month, I'll use up the battery till it shuts itself down, turn phone off, charge it till full.

Any other time, will plug into mobile charger whenever I'm in the office till it's 100% and use it thereon.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo6o:

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE!!! I MEAN NONE! that you allow ur batt to goto 0% or you will be effed royally by Defy. I and many others faced this. If your battery is like 15% you either charge it instantly by USB or if you have no means then just turn it off and charge in wall charger when you go home. Just don't ever let your defy goto 0% battery because if it does, you like me and many others will be stuck to M logo or white LED ****.

After getting the DaBomb ICS Themed ROM installed everything was going great, it's smooth and fast. But when the screen times-out, when it goes a little dark but everything is still viewable, I touch the screen to bring the brightness back up so it doesn't time out fully. When this happens, the screen becomes black and the buttons on the bottom are lit like the screen is on. When I touch the screen nothing happens but I can feel the haptic feedback as if the screen is still active. Only way for the screen to come back on is to hit the power button and then again to bring up the lock screen display. Anyone else experience this?

This should work in the event you've bricked your device. it should put your device into download mode.

From what i've read, this device will boot into UnBrickable mode by default.

Please try this app i've developed from a Linux computer. it should upload download mode. If it does not, then we can go from there, it may require removing the case and tapping a grounded connection.

Instructions:

You will need:

A linux computer with Java installed

A Windows computer with Odin and Drivers installed

Download the Galaxy Player resurrector onto a Linux computer: http://code.google.com/p/hummingbird-hibl/downloads/list

Launch the Resurrector

Connect device to a powered USB hub connected to a Linux(debian based) computer

observe a picture of a microchip in the resurrector

Select S5PC111 from the dropdown list

click the Resurrection button while holding the download mode combination

observe download mode on-screen

unplug the powered USB hub from the Linux computer and move it to a Windows computer

reflash software with Odin

This process will be streamlined in the future.. We are working with two issues that slow things down

Heimdall is not operating on this device currently. This is the reason you must use a Linux and Windows Computer

To speed this proces up, you may use a Virtual Machine inside the Linux

environment to utilize Odin from Windows on the same computer.

The SBL has not yet been modified to directly upload Download Mode

Please leave feedback. I do not own one of these devices, however I am troubleshooting problems with the resurrector as they are reported.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AdamOutler:
The UnBrickable Resurrector Revision36 contains a modified SBL. If this works properly, you should see this when you plug in a device which is turned off.

Select S5PC111, then click Perform Resurrection. Your device should be in Download Mode. Let me know if this works or not. Also, let me know what's on the screen.
