[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AproSamurai:
Ok, I'm from the Original Epic 4G section, and I believe naturally Jerdog's reasons for his hastiness are valid. In this case, the 911 issue stated in the first post is present within our kang of CM7 as well as yours very likely, the official builds for the Fascinate and the Vibrant( the vibrant which recently got dropped from support). The point being is that since it's missing such an essential feature he should not have released it being fully aware of it and included it as if it was CyanogenMod, Developers for the Epic 4G have fixed it on our end and tested it with the proper permissions from the right authorities on the matter, I'd suggest HE do that, and not one of the users.

You can't assume that being that he's new he's being jumped on, it's the fact that something more important that any given feature isn't working and it can be in some form of prevalence life threatening. I don't mean to troll but there needs to be a bit more thought when the people using your distribution can possibly be in danger because a feature is a maybe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Agreed. Good examples.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
Another thing that has been blown out of proportion... Can someone PLEASE verify if one can call 9-1-1 while experiencing LOS? If you CAN reach 9-1-1 even while experiencing LOS, then I will STFU.

This phone has been plagued with the LOS bug and NEVER have I heard the argument about not being able to reach 9-1-1 in an emergency. Now that it has been brought up with CM, the world is coming to an end.

Just out of curiosity. I thought that the memo from Cyanogen regarding naming of Kangs said that the only requirement was for there to be a "Unofficial" in the title. Did this change? Just curious.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gilbot:
Thanks! Looking forward to fixes :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Incorrect. This has nothing to do with LoS at all. When on CM7 with our phone, there is a problem between the ril and audio drivers that dont allow for emergency dialing flag to be thrown then dialing 911. The Vibrant got support completely dropped from official Cyanogen because of this. So did the Epic 4g and our phones. Luckily someone has come up with a patch that will more than likely fix it, but its yet to be approved and merged officially.

Bubby - Another day, Another bug :)

I found that sound through my car dock isn't working... When plugged in I get into car mode, but sound continue to come out of phone speakers.

When I go to the dock section in settings - the option to select the Audio settings is greyed out.

Well bubby I appreciate all the hard work you have spent on getting Cyanogenmod on the Epic Touch. It's a hell of a lot more than a certain other "recognized developer" has done. So thanks. I'm sure you and the rest of our community will get the bugs worked out.

[Samsung Focus S] Ikkari:
Does someone know a online shop which will ship the Samsung Focus S to Europe??
[Samsung Focus S] johnsies:
Expansys would, they have a store for most countries. Though they are more expensive.

You can try eBay or MobileCityOnline, if they ever get stock.

I ordered mine on eBay.
[Samsung Focus S] rafter_01:
would the samsung focus s work in the UK? Does automatically become unlocked?
[Samsung Focus S] johnsies:
It would not automatically become unlocked. You would need to purchase an unlock code. I trust: samsungimeiunlock.com or cellunlocker.net

Both cost around $30 USD currently.

The Focus S would work on 2G/EDGE networks after unlock as well as 3G 850/1900/2100 bands. 850/1900 are not very popular outside of N. America.

2100 is quite prevalent in many European countries. You can find a list here: http://worldtimezone.net/gsm.html

If it says 2100MHz under 3G on the same line, you might be in luck.
[Samsung Focus S] sam_semillia:
does anyone know if this phone would work in austria at t-mobile? how about import taxes? would i have to pay some?

thx, sam
[Samsung Focus S] Ikkari:
Expansys don't have the Focus S in the Austrian store... :(

Ebay is also a little bit expensive...

It will work on Austrians 3G networks without problems...

Import taxes are usually around 20% in Austria from Item+Shipping that would be around 130$ (~100€)for a focus if you pay 650$

If your lucky the customs won't check your package, than you get away without customs duty

Cheapest Unlock I've found

Bought mine on eBay for $430+$10 shipping.

On cellunlock(dot)net with "android50" coupon code it costs 19.99 CAD (Canadian $), where as the normal price is CAD 39.99.
[Samsung Focus S] Demian_ii:
uncloking imported cell

Hi guys! I am coming from a Galaxy S and going to switch to WP. Since I live in Chile I have to import the Focus S, so I have an important but noob question on unlocking.

When I bought my SGS it was already unlocked so I just had to insert my local sim, start rooting and flashing. But now I'm going to buy a AT&T Focus S, so I don't really know if I need an AT&T sim card in order to sim-unlock it from pages like prounlocking or similar and/or using any sort of app or flash-like procedure.

thanks in advance! it would be really hepful for me!

[Samsung Focus S] Demian_ii:
thanks! But I was planning to buy it locked and unlocking it myself so could save a few bucks (actually, like 150 USD)
[Samsung Focus S] maczpiku:
You don't need at&t sim card, just insert your own, it will ask for unlock code, you dial it, it unlocks and that's it
[Samsung Focus S] Seven_PRX:
I bought a Focus S AT&T locked of E-Bay, and had it shipped here to the Netherlands.

It was locked, and purchased an unlock code from:

Working fine, unlock was delivered within 15 minutes.

I made the same that Demian_ii but I order to send to Spain
[Samsung Focus S] omniadood:
Imported it into the UK as an unlocked phone and just updated the software to 8107(?). It runs absolutely fine on T-Mobile in the UK. Good data speeds when out and about. I would like to enable wireless tethering/hotspotting if possible. Still looking into it.

I'm pretty happy with it, but not sure I'm that happy with the Gmail integration or Facebook integration (I guess this is now more about WP7 than the Focus S).

I might consider selling it on, I'm still giving it a chance, but I'm missing a lot of the functionality that Android finally got which WP7 is sadly lacking :(

[Nook Color General] foltz61:
Does anyone know if the "no sound from the internal speaker" issue is caused by some other component rather than the just speaker itself?
[Nook Color General] hwong96:
Do you have sound from the headphones? Are you using Dalingren's Nook Tweaks to increase DAC- could be blown speaker? Volume + key to the max?

Try a reboot. If that doesn't work, unroot before returning it to store for another unit if under warranty.
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm out of warranty. I have flashed back to stock and flashed CM7 from a wipe multiple times. I do have sound from the headphone jack though.
[Nook Color General] JoshMcMadMac:
I know this is an older post, but I am having the same issue. The internal speaker seems to be dead. The headphone jack works, and I have tried several different roms trying to resolve it. Has anyone else had this issue, killing the internal speaker? Is there any fix for it?
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
Something that often happens is that the headphone jack gets mangled, and the speaker cutoff gets stuck. I can't offer specific guidance, but poking gently inside the jack might free things up.

A bright light and knowing what it's supposed to look like inside will help a lot here.
[Nook Color General] JoshMcMadMac:
I checked the internal speaker, and it works. The headphone connection also seems fine, and is seldom used. I am wondering if the driver got messed up at some point with a ROM...is there any way to check (and fix) this?

[HTC Titan] HalcYoN-Fuze:
Be careful pulling the the phone out of the clamshell. The bridging spring for the camera button came lose and broke when I reinserted. Replaced at the store, just not looking forward to the hassles of adding another device/replacing in Zune for my music.
[HTC Titan] lavieest:
I also managed to break my spring as well. I sent it in to HTC though as the local ATT store didn't have any Titans in stock. At least it is easy to add devices/music in Zune.
[HTC Titan] HalcYoN-Fuze:
I was actually surprised. I set Zune to forget the previous version, plugged this one in and I was dragging playlists over, no problem. I was expecting a call to MS to clear the previous phone's info so I didn't exceed the three device Zune Pass limit as I just recently added the Titan...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I suppose I could take screenshots at each step of the process and work them into the guide...

I've still got a few more tutorials to type up and some work to do on my ROM, so i'll get around to doing that but it's not something i'm in a big hurry to do.

I tried to make sure to over-exaggerate the explanations to make the guide crystal clear for someone to follow, as this is part 1 of 3 and I wanted to target people who have little to no experience and walk them through it. That hopefully sets them up to be able to take advantage of the other two parts after they get finished and written.

I'll link all 3 together once they are done.

Edit: For the time being if you want to see what the lockring looks like in different colors, here's the picture I posted in my ROM thread for the different lockring mod packages I made for it:

​

... which shows different colors and with text engraved.

There is actually text on both the top and bottom of the lockring, and when you pull it up you can see what's on the bottom.

( Just my handle, for the curious. I'm not so vain as to make that what you see on the top half of the lockring. )

Wu Tang Lock Rings

I haven't had much chance to test, but throwing them up anyway.

Possibly a little glitchy, I was just testing this tutorial to see if I can get it to work.

(Alpha & Ring Sizes I think need to be tweaked, I may have overlooked the Ring heights - hence they maybe a little too short.)

I am happy to rework any of these if anyone wants em cleaner.

Enjoy

5 Wu tang Rings in one zip, extract them and flash them singularly/individually at will.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The plunge - someone has taken it!

Looks pretty happy, now we're getting somewhere :D

I gotta run out for a bit, but when I get back i'm gonna download them and try them out.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the image size is:

244 pixels

by

243 pixels

If anything is bigger it just gets cut off, but it'll still work fine.

Even if they end up being too low and you can't see them on the lockscreen, you can drag from anywhere on-screen to pull it up, you don't have to touch the graphic.

Keep 'em coming!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Yeap, I note the sizes (244 by 243 when extracting your original .png files... However these wu images are more oval then round, hence I retained the width at 244, but lost some height trying preserve aspect ratio.)

You're wright, the rings are still useable however slightly too short (hence not as visible as a perfect 244 by 243 ring.)

Defo gonna rework these & make moreeeeeee.

Great simple tutorial, with the necessary programs, I can knock these rings out in like less then 5mins having found a nice graphic to work with.)

Forgot to hit Thanks, will do when back on PC.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
You might want to download one of my oval-shaped batman logo lockrings from the Bulletproof thread - they suffer from the same issue.

What I did was make them sit higher on both graphics, instead of centered.

This shows them above the bottom of the screen before you touch them.

One thing to note, though, is that the animation that makes it fly towards you getting bigger on the unlock becomes off-center as well. If you raise it too high it just pops up near the top of the screen and becomes much less visually impressive.

Because Photoshop lets you use layers, I left the original lockring and pasted my new graphic over it, then moved it around using the original graphic as a guide to get it positioned well.

Once I had it where I wanted it, I simply clicked the layer underneath for the original graphic and deleted it, leaving only my newly pasted and aligned image.

Let me actually grab a quick screenie to show you what I mean - give me a few mins to get it edited in.

Edit:

Broke my screenshot function on my computer for the moment - so took a pic with the MT4GS camera - sorry about that.

Here you can see how I positioned it, kind of a happy medium of getting it higher on the graphic but not too high:

Then click on the layer for the grey ring, select delete, and it's all set.

Here is what it looks like in action:

Edit again:

For the sake of convenience, i'm posting the download info for the lockring made of the graphic pictured in the photoshop window just above, that way people can easily download an example of what the picture is showing after it's finished.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I like it, that's very useful info. Great concept in prepping the positioning with layers - niiice!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The hardest thing about writing up tutorials is communicating all the minor details.

It's easy to take for granted the knowledge that you have, like using layers together for example - for people who don't or haven't spent much time using a particular tool what is obvious to someone is not to someone else.

I'm glad i'm starting to get people just diving in and making stuff, because all the little things that didn't get mentioned get brought up and explained.

No matter how hard you try to cover all your bases, you'll always forget something.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I'm going to give this a try as soon as I finish getting BulletProof 1.1 set up properly and the corresponding backups made. (I have an older but still very uasable version of Photoshop around here somewhere) But I DID want to take a second and thank you for all your hard work on this ROM that runs sooooo smoothly but not only that....I want to commend you on your selfless desire to teach the rest of us about what you are doing internally with your phases of programming on this ROM. Other experienced programers, I'm Sure, appreciate your efforts on this ROM as well as your other work Blue but I HOPE that a few others will follow your lead in the role of teacher that you have taken on SO well. That alone, is appreciated beyond simple words by those of us that have always had an interest in programming, graphics, modeling, etc.... but have never seen a valid starting point before now. Your detailed explainations along with the open source nature of Linux is an inspiration that makes many (I am sure) reevaluate the possibility of it being within more people's grasps that before now have only sat in awe of the ability of real programmers like yourself. Have you ever given any thought to teaching computer programming at a college for pay so that you could get paid for what you undoubtably LOVE and that give you more time than you now have for you research?? I just HAD to ask.....and THANK YOU again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
As far as being paid money to teach people...not too interested in that at this point in my life. It would twist my desire to do so into something else altogether. I prefer to give freely and help others advance who are willing to invest the time and effort to do so.

I had the update pushed to me this morning. Tried installing and it failed. I think it's because I'm running the beta version of Swype. From what I read, having root wouldn't be the problem and I made no other changes to OEM stuff, so it's got to be the Swype beta. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can restore the factory version of Swype back onto my phone?

I suggest you read over FAQ #E12 in the auto root sticky:

It could be the network, there could just be a lot of congestion. It happens to me sometimes too, one day I'll get 12mbps & the next I won't be able to get over 5. Try your sim in another phone if you can & see if you get the same results.
