great phone

I got one of the (made 11W29 also) had no problems. i had some small issues with text input at first, it would double the letter eg it would put II aa tthe at the start of every post. This was fixed with a ota update. i would say this phone has the best GPS on a phone i have ever used. its a little power house. amazing really.

Most people underrate this phone because of its size and maybe think its the old x10 hardware. it does use the battery up at a fair rate of nots though. And im not keen on the usb cover. it also plays flash with ease. i put spb shell from the market on mine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
The screen size was the same with x8 but Xperia mini frame was slimer than x8. Btw x8 speaker quality is better than Xperia mini.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ProxyZer0:
Thx for reply. It looks like it's a very good phone, i will most likely get it. Speaker isn't such a big problem, i read that the sound with headphones is good which is a more important thing because i use my phone as a mp3 player a lot. I was mostly worried about the text input and overheating problem. Also, should i put a custom rom on it or keep the original?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
You should start using stock rom first. With some customization, it will be great. Now I I'm using stock rom and customized it.

For consideration if you use custom rom you will lose :

1. Time Scape

2. Gesture input

3. Track ID

4. DLNA (maybe)

is it possible to tweak KF a bit with system tuner (rooted of course), but without a custom / overclock kernel?

or is it useless without a custom kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Auron694:
Hy guys, i'm going to buy a Galaxy Nexus and I wanna buy a screen protector before getting the phone.

I have a ZAGG one on my iPod Touch 4g, but I don't like it, so I decided to ask here.

I had the opportunity to try a Brando one on a friend's iPhone 4, and it's very nice, but I can't find a Galaxy Nexus' one... So which i should choose? I also can't understand yet differences between the one using wet application and the others...

PS: i already found some questions on various screen protectors, but didn't find a "which shouldi i choose" one in this section...

PPS: Sorry if i made some mistakes, my English is only a scholastic one...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Brando have screen protectors available for for the Galaxy Nexus (not sure if they do international shipping):

http://shop.brando.com/brando-works...or-samsung-galaxy-nexus-_p06678c1373d011.html

I've heard the SGP Flex screen protector is very good, I'll most likely be ordering one myself. (http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...s-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
i have the zagg. Its actually not as orange peely like the zagg on my old galaxy s. I wish power support made their screen protectors for something other than by apple because theirs are excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Auron694:
Oh, didn't know Brando already have in stock Galaxy Nexus' screen protectors! Thank you very much, probabilly i will buy it. But tell me please, which are the differences between screen protectors with wet application and the others?

Uff, now i'm very undecided on buying SGP Oleophobic or Brando...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Do you know if the Brando is a dry install? If so, it probably won't cover all of the screen like he Oleophobic from SGP. I just bought the Flex and it will be here Wednesday so I can let you know how that feel/orange peel is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Auron694:
The Zagg on my iPod is crap looking at the Brando on my friend's iPhone. Yeah, it has less bubbles, but his doesn't make the user feel he is using a screen protector!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
Not meant to hi-jack this thread but I came across this

http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...-nexus-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html

The description says that the screen protector has an oleophobic coating. I was wondering if the film is clear or matte? I don't like matte screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Auron694:
I'm interested in that screen protector too... I'm undecided between this one and the Brando's one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ]grimm[:
It's clear, but I feel like it causes a little bit more friction than the bare screen. As mentioned in another review on here, it's significantly smaller than the entire screen area to avoid peeling at the curved edges, so that may be something that affects your decision to purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaelstromXC:
How is the fitting of the Brando screen protector? Can someone upload a picture of it on the Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaucasianAsian:
I never realized screen protectors were such a big deal. lol

The one I am using now is the Anti-Glare screen protector that I got from Verizon. It was a bundle with 3 protectors, a car charger, and clip holster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TehDuffman:
Didn't realize everyone used one... My GNex stays naked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 05GT:
Stay away from the ones Verizon sells. They aren't completely terrible, but those things smudge so badly. It's pretty annoying, but I can't complain because they are protecting the screen for the most part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
I've tried just about every screen protector out there and I have come to realize the VZW protectors are the best for me. Yes, they do show smudges a bit more, but they don't yellow, they don't require the wet application, they don't have a weird feeling to them, and they are the cheapest. Also, I had one on my Incredible for 6 months without a mark on it.

Just my opinion after trying tons of brands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Phazenine-:
Ghost armor..Hands Down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c00king.c0w:
@OP: So which Screen Protector did you end up with? Cany ou give us some feedback about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stanaka1:
Verizon clear (not anti-glare) works great. No orange peel. there is a 1-2mm gap from the bezel but the sensor cutouts align perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cykotix:
Currently using VZW clear + Incipio NGP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrainOsand:
I went with ghost armor, cost me $15 covers top to bottom and edge to edge. Rep installed it perfectly. No orange peel yet but I do expect some. The good news is that it comes with a life time warranty. If it does begin to show signs of orange peel, they will replace it for a $5 install fee.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phiquantu:
Don't look too far, it's right infront of you!!!

+1 for Verizon clear screen protector.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezmoinez:
Hi

I run CM7 on my Desire HD. A few days ago I could not connect to my computer by USB. Today, after erasing my SD-card, the phone can't recognize it anymore. So I guess I've had a "USB-brick" or whatever it is called :confused:

However, when typing "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0", which must be done to fix this according to guides, cmd only says "waiting for device". I am in fastboot mode in the phone, connected with usb. what is the problem? the light on the front is not on. should it be?

thanks for help guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unnamet:
Hey.

I have just got this awesome phone.

But I can't find a way to sync my facebook contracts with google contracts. Is there anybody who can tell me how to do that.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
You can't. The app doesn't support it. The only contact sync that works is Google+ out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unnamet:
Okay thanks for the answer. Hope that they will change that soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
That's all up to Facebook. Hopefully they add it back in. The API is available for them to do so in a new version of the app. Google isn't restricting them or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wollyka:
Friendcaster app can sync with the people app in ICS.. But the photo are not high definition!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Nexus devices have always had this feature excluded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
No they have not. I can sync just fine on my Nexus One. Also, it's not that the feature was excluded. Facebook used to have a backdoor API that allowed them to sync in Android that other developers couldn't use. Google removed it in the newer versions of Android. This means that for it to keep working, Facebook would have to update their app to use the public API for contact syncing (that's been there the whole time) and allow the user more control of their own info. They have not done so.

It's Facebook's app that's the problem here. It's nothing specific to the Nexus devices in general. You just notice it more in Nexus devices because they don't have manufacturer created Facebook apps (i.e. HTC's custom made FB app that syncs properly).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
OK Guys, I think we should start a checklist of things that we need and would like for further development, and see what we can do to make those things happen. Obviously, root is the first step, but we need a few more things before custom ROMs can be produced and flashed. here is my list so far:

*Kernel with CWM recovery enabled. I will contact ATT Galaxy S 2 Kernel developers about this, and see if they can shed any light on this. CWM is the method of choice for flashing custom ROMs and kernels

*Mobile Odin Support. This will allow us to flash kernels without tripping the flash counter. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

*Begin CM7 (or 9?) porting to this device. We will also need to find developers willing to work on this device, for this and other ROMs.

*Check compatibility of the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen with our device. This is an awesome tool that would let us cook fairly in-depth and customized themes for our phones, for free, incredibly easily.

*Obviously, we need to find devs willing to create custom ROMs for this device. I am willing to help, but do not have much experience with this kind of thing.

Also, since I dont have the device yet, I would like someone to test out TouchWiz 4.5, a custom-developed version of TouchWiz that I believe is superior to Samsung's original. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
[Samsung Captivate Glide] m4n4king:
i got a glide that ive rooted (at&t) but im still not overclocked so idk if i should but id like to see if that superior verison of TouchWiz is worthy.. please let me know how i can help or how i can be helped with this overclocking kernel =D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jwood55812:
Agreed, we need all of the things. I don't have the device, my fiance does, but she'll let me hack away at it :) I was going to try doing some modifications on the ROM in the "Rooting" thread, but have hit brick walls trying to unpack the factoryfs.img on my Windows machine, going to try unpacking it in Linux later this week, I'll keep everyone posted with my progress!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
Has anyone tried contacting a group like Teamhacksung to get their interest in a custom ICS port or other support?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
I can contact Team Hacksung, but they would obviously need a device to test on. I contacted Pershoot, a kernel developer who has worked with Samsung Tegra 2 devices before, about adding CWM to a kernel. He said it should be pretty easy, and gave me a layout for what to do, but I will need the help of a kernel developer, either lambogx2 (sp)

or ardatdat, since I am by no means a developer or themer.

As far as TW 4.5, you should just be able to download the .apk from the link. I use Astro, and just click on the file and it asks if I want to download the app, then click yes.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] crazyut:
Another vote for CWM

I, too, would kill for a CWM just so I can easily backup the current rom, then remove all the bloatware (I like keeping the original ROM before I clean it up).

Additionally, I would like to learn how to compile kernels and create custom roms (if for nothing else to get rid of the ugly ROGERS logo upon boot; other than applications and this boot screen, the phone looks sharp unlike AT&T, T-mobile, and Sprint and others whom plaster there logo all over the phone's physical presence). I do not know where to start.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TRusselo:
I dont have a glide but i am willing to help. I need ANYONE that is rooted to install and run a screenshot app and a terminal emulator app. then type " mount " (no quotes) into the terminal take a screen shot of the printout

this will tell the mount points and if any other cwms can be made to work with update.zip method.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] LagunaCid:
Does it help?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] LagunaCid:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] crazyut:
Is there a specific screenshot app you can recommend? Also, if attach the screenshot, say to a post, will it be readable for you? I looked at Lagunacid and hard time reading (sorry Lagunacid)

[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
Also guys, boot animation is pretty easy to change (I dont know if you wanted to change that or the splash screen). Just find one that you would like in 800x480 res., make sure it is named bootanimation.zip, go into root explorer. find system>media and put the new file in there, overwrite the old one. Set the permissions to rw-r-r, and reboot to make sure it works. I can also tell you how to make your own, but thats more complicated, but doesnt take any 'coding' or 'developing' skills, just MS Paint and a text editor.

Still working on the CWM kernel, I'll let you know if much progress is made.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] crazyut:
I would love to get rid of the ROGERS splash screen but if I understand correctly, that has something to do with the kernel or bootloader?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TRusselo:
rogers boot animation? /system/media/bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop replace with these files... bootsamsung.zip

OR...

rogers boot IMAGE replacement? ... get root explorer.... navigate to /mnt/.lfs/

find the NAME of the image that you see durring boot.

backup all files to sdcard for ... backup....

look in my signature for bootscreen replacement.Captivate Bootscreen Replacement

use the appropreate package for the file name you need.

i897 froyo/GB package was "logo_ATNT.jpg"

i9000 GB package was "logo.jpg"

i896 GB package was "logo.JPG" **capitals make difference!

let me know what the name of the file is and i will make a package for the GLIDE
[Samsung Captivate Glide] crazyut:
My phone is rooted and using ES File Explorer (with Show Hidden Files checked) but there is no /.lfs directory under /mnt directory.

On shutdown, it has an ugly red ROGERS animation as seen in /system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg which you can rename or replace to change this.

On startup, after the white ROGERS logo screen (which after reading some other sites, this is part of the kernel or bootloader), there is an animated Galaxy S animation that I suspect is the bootsamsung.qmg which you can rename or replace to change this which is located in the /system/media directory.

After which, before going to the lock screen (over the desktop and icons)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TRusselo:
you are correct on the startup and shutdown .qmg files.. you can replace from an unbranded phone.... the qmg .zip files i uploaded are the S logo so i guess the start up is unbranded...

here is an unbranded shutdown .qmg

the startup logo IMAGE may be only in the kernel.

on the original captivate there is actually 2 one is a file in /mnt/.lfs POINTED to by the bootloader... different bootloaders point to different filename...

the second image is built into the kernel.

BUT the 2 images on stock are the same, so it is not noticed.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] crazyut:
I move to Calgary (from Seattle) in 2 weeks; I see you are one of the developers. I would like to learn how to make custom ROMS and kernels so I hope I can leech information from you.

Thanks for the qmg files!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TRusselo:
Kyuta Syuko - would probably be willing to help you with kernel learning. He recently started making captivate kernels. but be warned you need a very good understanding of linux and compiling knowlege.

Romming is easy with any system, drag and drop files mostly. there are many guides to find all over xda.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
One touch dialing!

I agree, we need a checklist for this device, I'd like to see a minor change in the stock dialer app. on other versions of gingerbread and froyo I have always seen a phone icon next to the contact and the ability to have one touch dialing with the favorites. this this phone, that's not there! there's a few "touch here, touch there, then dial" to call someone! you might call me lazy, but I liked that feature.

I have tried other dialer apps from the market, but non seem to have this in the options. they all seem to use the stock dialer somewhere in making the calls.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] LagunaCid:
Swipe left and right on top of a contact ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
Thanks :) I'd never had known that! Maybe I need to read the operators manual! Lol.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
OK guys, not too much progress on the CWM front....any kernel developers here that I can message about the info I have gotten, to see if they/you can do something with it? Team Hacksung is interested in porting CM9, but it may/may not be possible. CM7 would be around soon after they get a device to test.

Thanks guys
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
Is there any way to help get Team Hacksung the device if they need help getting it? Like a donation drive?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Da_G:
Hi Guys!

My cousin just picked up a Captivate Glide, I rooted it and manually applied UOT kitchen files for the battery icon mod.

I have experience making custom recoveries/kernels/overclock/etc for samsung devices (see Captivate, SGH-I727, SGH-I957, etc.)

Unfortunately I don't have regular access to the phone to do much development work, if I can manage to borrow the phone from him for a period of time I'll look at setting up an overclock kernel for you guys.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
CWM would be great and a great starting point for custom roms
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
Very much agreed :-)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
Definitely on the CWM. Da_G- if you can help, it would be much appreciated!

I'm sure we could set up a donation drive, I'll ask Hacksung about where to send the $
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
I just got a reply from Atin (Team Hacksung Member) that they would be willing to work on CyanogenMod for the Glide, but obviously we need to get them an unlocked phone. Maybe if one of the mods would set up a Paypal account we could donate to (we would around $500 for a new unlocked phone), or if anyone is willing to donate a phone? This is great news guys.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JMM2009:
I'll Pitch in

I'll Gladly donate $20.

also you can get this phone on ebay for around 450.00 (only 2 left as of now)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] atinm:
We can also just help if there is a developer who is somewhat familiar with C/C++ and Java who has this phone and is willing to work with us if you guys are not able to get us a phone. We'd being going straight to ICS though, I wouldn't want to waste time on Gingerbread for a new phone model.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
I did not do any java or C for at least 10 years but I would be more than willing to help, it is all in how hard the task is.

I did some rom but cooking and developping are different issues, still willing to help and to learn!

[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbylx:
Ok, so I'm no Dev and this may sound stupid, but...

Since it seems the newer samsung phone, ie, Galaxy S series, are very similar and the Dev's have been able to port the ROM's between them, when it comes to hardware, is the Glide more or less the same as another model only with a slide out keyboard?

I was wondering if it's based on maybe the SII since it's dual core and whatnot? In my non Dev mind it seems to me that we could find the most similar Samsung device and port from there. Of course, this may also be obvious.

As far as helping, I'm not familiar with C/C++ but have done some basic Java and VB so I'm not a complete newb. I just downloaded ubuntu to reload on my newly built PC, so I'll assist if I can. My wife has the glide but she doesn't mind when I flash her phones or anything like that, of course if I brick it all bets are off.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Frogacuda:
It is considered a part of the Galaxy S II series, but it's different than the flagship S2 models, most notably because it uses an nVidia Tegra chip, which means different video hardware as well. So you can't really port directly, there are different drivers needed.

I'm leaning toward buying this phone but I basically don't want to pull the trigger until ICS is a sure thing (homebrew or official, either way).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SupremeOverlord777:
There is a Galaxy S 2 with Tegra 2 (I9001?), but it has the 4.3' screen, and AMOLED Plus vs. the Glide's normal AMOLED
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
according here, it uses SAMOLED (not plus) and a x1 Qualcomm Snapdragon, but there is a disclaimer below the page, so it's not that absolute.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rflnc1:

Hey guys,

Sorry I've been offline so much; December was insane work-wise (always is) and I've been on vacation the last week or so. I'm back in town January with access to my workstation and (assuming nothing else has rolled out) I'll put out a custom stripped down ROM.

I've been cleaning up mine over the last few weeks and it's now lightning fast. So much junk removed.

I'm currently running ardatdat's OC'd kernel as well.

And, if anyone does establish a donation drive acct for the CM guys, I'd be glad to pitch in $20. :)

I hope you still had good times even if the "insane" word is there :)

Thanks for the ROM, looking forward to it's release.
