Thanks for the information. Samsung is damn slow in releasing updates in all countries..

Did anyone try this?

What's the password for the 2.3.5 downloaded file? It is not unzipping because it is password protected..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] diguitozito:
excuse, the password is: sampro.pl
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] chen2008:
Done!

Thanks very much bro, it is DONE!!!

I followed your instructions and now the firmware version is updated! Not had time yet to see what's new but does seem faster for usual interaction..

See picture below! Forgive crappy quality as taken from my phone in a hurry..

BTW the password is not what you gave, it is ******.pl you can google for the correct password as I am not sure if I am supposed to post it here..

thanks, very helpful.

i take it this is not for the USA YP-70

if not then you had better state it before someone screws up their usa model.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] radx:
Most regions should by now have access to the official 2.3.5 update.

If you're like me just got your device and you had it delivered with 2.2.2. Check kies. There might be an update available.

1. Download kies from samsungs website.

2. Press menu->Settings ->Wireless & Network ->USB-settings ->Check: Samsung Kies.

3. Press menu->Settings -> Apps -> Develop -> Unckeck: USB.

4. Start kies on the pc

5. Connect the usb cable.. and relax for a bit and wait and see what kies says.

For anyone wondering, i bought my device in sweden and it was delivered with:

2.2.2

2.6.32.9

se.infra@SEP-53 #1

FROYO.XXKG1

After kies update:

2.3.5

2.6.35.7-G70XXKPE-CL562492

se.infra@SEI-2 #1

GINGERBREAD.XXKPE

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] diguitozito:
radx you can backup your firmware and make available for download?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] radx:
Sorry I dont know how to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] reemobeens19:
I believe there is an option in Odin before you flash a rom look otherwise a "dump" or backup button. Always a good idea before flashing any thing. It allows you back to a factory returnable state.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joemhewitt:
You could flash rjs kernel in Odin and that would install ClockworkMod. From there you can do a nandroid backup. Well i think that's how it works.

so i guess you can downgrade from cm9 to ms2ginger but not to cm7? oO

im currentliy switching a lot between cm9 and cm7 so you should just go into cwm and wipe everything, install cm7 wipe again and thats it...

i dont know if you really have to wiupe twice, but thats the way i do it and it works perfectly ;)

[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
I used titanium to backup all my user data and apps. I also noticed titanium had an option to move all my apps to sd card, so I went and did that. I also deleted backups for non installed apps.

One of these three operations seems to have removed the icons for some of my widgets/shortcuts on my home screens. Some of the icons say "Problem loading" and I can not click on them.

Is there a way to fix this?
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Remove that icon and drag again the widget to desktop?
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
I would but its like half a dozen icons and i dont remember what they all were. I just did a restore all. That made me install all my apps again. Still did not fix the problem.

I guess I'l lreplace the icons manually once I need them and remember what they were.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdotph:
i bought this 2nd hand an unlock. i was just wondering if there is anyway i can downgrade it to official firmware like the old ones like 1.6. i lik just the old firmwares interface cause its unique in any other android OS. thanks a bunch :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjc:
are you talking about dell stage?

I'm in official stock rom and I suggest you to downgrade to official stock rom 2.2.2 351 or 360 instead of 1.6 because of lots of bug fixed, improvements and new features.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@djjc: He's talking about Android 1.6 (Donut), and I'm not sure that downgrading from 2.x to Donut is possible on the Streak. I vaguely recall reading that to go from 1.6 to 2.x required using the QDL tool to configure the board and internal MicroSD to accept the update. I think that was a one-way process.

The person most likely to know with absolute certainty is TheManii.

With all that said, in my opinion even if the OP can downgrade to Donut, he shouldn't. Trading the bug fixes and improvements of later versions of Android for an interface hack that only worked in Donut is not a wise choice. Plus he gets a much smaller Market to boot since a great deal of the apps require 2.0 and up now.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
2.1 had the same UI as 1.6, I dont think it was called StageUI back then.

StageUI was launched with 2.2 and it was StageUI 1.5, so the one in 1.6/2.1 could have been 1.0?

Regardless you cant directly downgrade from 2.2 -> 1.6

you must go 2.2 -> 2.1 -> 1.6 as 1.6 recoveries wont load on a 2.2 bootloader device.

Install 206 from Dell Streak Official Roms - xda wiki if you want the UI, it's 2.1 and has the 1.6 type UI.

2.1 is very old though, and 206 isnt the most recent 2.1 rom, it's the newest one we have as a pkg that can be installed though. The newer 2xx ones were only available preinstalled.

More and more things are slowly requiring 2.2/2.3 so dont expect them to work regardless of if you use 1.6 or 2.1, things such as flash.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
If you decide to downgrade follow TheMannii's instructions to get to 2.1 and here is a guide for going from 2.1 back to 1.6.

I must say that I do not understand why you would want to do this.
[Nook Touch General] Svimma23:
Hi all -

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I'm trying to create an app that has the protected 2 level DEVICE_POWER permission. Is this possible without having a full-blown Custom ROM?

Things that I have tried:

1) Move apk from data/app to system/app [in packages.xml the app is then classified as system="true" but isn't allowed to get the permission]

2) In packages.xml, manually hack the certs line to be the same as a system app that does have the DEVICE_POWER permission

3) try to hack the file in /system/etc/permissions to add another gid to DEVICE_POWER or the uid of the app that I'm running

4) tried to re-sign the framework-res.apk and the other other system apk's with the same cert with the AOSP platform key [although google does seem to sign some apps with that key, B&N seems to have done the "right" thing and not signed everything with the platform key]. Just gets caught in a bootloop

In the devicemanager.db under /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, in the registry table, it does show the hash of the system's private key ... wasn't sure if I could do anything with that though.

Someone created a custom screensaver that puts the cover of the book you're reading as screensaver and modified the Settings.apk to do so. I don't quite get how he was able to do that and still have the signature remain intact?

Thanks for the help!
[Nook Touch General] michaelwill:
AFAIK you have to build a custom ROM to do this.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Yeah I think so too, apps wanting that permission need to be signed with the platform key afaik.

Hello guys

I have a motorola Xoom 3g 32gb with Android 3.2, the European version MZ601.

I have a problem with video playback on the 32GB microSD-cards: When I click on a video that I copied to 32GB microSD-cards, all players (mobo, XPlayer, rockplayer, etc. ..) are not able to read the video!

But if I copy the same video on a 8gb microsd-cards, I can watch the video and I have no problem!

My microsd-card is FAT32 formatted!

What do you think?

Can you help?

The strange thing is that some video to wmv or avi are reproduced well on the 32gb microSD, while others do not!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Challenger:

Class level is related to memory speed. Perhaps your 32GB card is too slow ...

...32gb micro-sd card is a class 10 card...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Go with the Nexus, supporters of the GSII have ONLY GPU performance to back them up. But so far, my Nexus plays every game I throw at it BEAUTIFULLY. We might have the older SGX540 GPU, but it IS overclocked and is not the same one found in older phones. The SGX540 in the GNex runs at a higher frequency, and the performance boost is very noticeable. What do you need an overperforming GPU for when this one performs just as well on the user end?

Not to mention the beautiful 720p HD display on the Nexus. Do you want to be stuck on that ****ty 480x800 display of the SGSII? Not to mention, the GNex is outputting more pixels AND performs exceptionally. Our 'weak' GPU is a beast.

Lol. It's a Nexus. 'Nuff said :rolleyes:

EDIT: Even our OMAP4460 outclasses that exynox garbage: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378551

So, GSII, do you feel special with your useless, overzealous GPU?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enaybee:
SGS2 is a solid phone. Great hardware and beautiful screen. Great battery life. No software updates like Nexus line of phone. Hence the reason its officially still at GB 2.3.5

GN is a solid phone. Great hardware and mind-blowing screen. Great battery life. Software updates arrive as soon as Google releases them. Currently running ICS 4.0.1

Its ur decision which way you want to go. I have both. Handed unlocked SGS2 to my wife. I am using GN and am very happy with it. Even though my cedit card still has a big dent in it. Lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krishant007:
I am in the same boat. I have been putting off upgrading to a new phone for quite some time now (i dont upgrade every few months due to student reasons).. lol.. but the new parade of phones is tempting me a lot!

I am still stuck on an ancient Nokia E72 with its 600mhz of glory!

I am deciding between GNex, SGS2 or the Iphone 4s. My primary usage is texting and calling, camera is not a very big deal breaker for me (i have a dslr and a small point and shoot, but all of these phones have a decent enough camera for those impromptu moments).

I decided against the iphone 4s since the design is still the same as the previous, IE, its made of glass and is very very delicate (accidents can happen).

So im left with S2 and GN. I kind of decided to go with the GN since its got a bigger and higher res screen (i do like the screen to look nice!) and the pure android does seem like a better choice.. Even ICS is only GN, S2 would be getting it soon, bt it will have the touchwiz etc on it.. id rather stay clear of the 'advancements' made by the individual companies and have pure android with me..

the only thing that is bugging me now is the battery life. i understand that its a smartphone with a ginormous screen so im not expecting 3-4 days battery (the type i get with my E72 with moderate to heavy usage), but i would like to get by the entire day with moderate usage and charge the phone at night while i sleep.. the forums have many people claiming really good battery or really bad battery (for me, really good battery is the ability to go without ur charger for the entire week, something that i have done on my fone, albeit with sending less than 20 texts and a phone call the whole day). but ya, i wouldnt mind if i have to charge the phone at the end of everyday..

What would you guys do??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
Phone, Text, Web, Some games (not all games work in GN), 720p screen (which is also a double edged blade), Development

ICS4, Google music, Face Unlock, etc, all these also available on other phones

GN only represents "guaranteed" OS upgrade by Google, which doesn't seems to be holding true anymore from what we've seen already on the latest OTA upgrade

[Motorola Droid Bionic] graymulligan:
Here's a new one, at least for me...when I hit my system update check button in about phone, my Bionic is spitting out

"check for update is not available

at this time.

Try again later,"

Has anyone else ever seen this message? It looks like its happening on 4G or wifi, haven't forced 3g and tried yet.

Usually I expect the "Your phone is up to date" message, but this one's new to me.

I'm bone stock, btw...no rooting yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I got that a few times yesterday and then tried again 10min later and it ran the check successfully but didn't find an update. When I ran the check for updates this morning it found the update and downloaded/installed successfully.

Well, that's encouraging I suppose...every time I think I really like this phone, something like this pops up...ugh, I want bionic speed and HP, but with my OG droid and droid X's "it just works" reliability.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I think the only reason you're seeing this error is because the servers are under a very heavy load pushing out the updates. I never saw this error before yesterday. But I'm with you on the frustration factor. I'm on my 4th Bionic now, if I continue to get the black screen of death, random reboots, or data connection issues, I'm going to do whatever I can to get a different phone. I've never had to return a phone to Vz before this model, nor I have ever spent so much on a phone. I certainly don't feel like I'm getting what I paid for. How this phone made it thru user testing with these issues blows my mind.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mattb7:
I had been getting that message ever since I replaced my SIM a couple months ago. I figured it wouldnt interfere with me getting any OTA's, but last night I decided to do a factory reset to see if that cleared it up. Low and behold i hit system updates and it said my system was up to date. An hour or so later I did it again and I got the update!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Good to know. I read a thread somewhere, I think it pertained to battery issues, and someone suggested that when you first take the phone out of the box the first thing you should do is a factory reset b/c it helps with overall performance. I don't know if there's any truth to that but that's what I've done on all of my replacement Bionics and I do perceive there to be some improvement. I don't know if it was necessary but I ran the reset after receiving the OTA today too just to rule that out if I have issues going forward - that's the first thing tech support makes you do when you have problems from my experience anyway.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xtremeskier97:
I've been getting that message a lot too when checking for the update. I got the update today and it installed fine. Still have the data drops though. VERY frustrating.

One think I HAVE noticed with this update is that the battery stats are completely reversed. It used to be the display was down in the 3-5% region, as well as the Android OS. Now, those 2 are at the top, and my phone has just been laying on my desk most of the day.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rezanow:
I am not rooted. I've been getting that message since I got the phone in October. It only happens when I am on 3G. I haven't checked it on 4G (don't live near one) and it says "...up to date" when I am on WiFi.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dcgator:
I am getting frustrated... I have been getting the same error for three days now. I am rooted, but am on 5.5.886 and everything still the same. My partner is still original stock, and he's getting the same errors as well. Perhaps this is a regional thing? Anyone in the DC area get the update rolled out to them?

Additionally, can I just flash the update file that is posted here on the forums to upgrade manually? Or should I just wait?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ketan324:
Works!

I was getting the same "check for updates not available at this time" message, however I rebooted (used Quickboot, battery pull is not necessary). After the reboot went back to "Check for upgrade" and it worked; BUT just like the previous upgrade the process checks your file system and if you removed/altered any bloatware then it will fail and reboot. After the first time, I decided instead to create a folder "bloatware" in the system direction and move all bloatware apps to that folder. So this time around all I had to do was move all the bloatware back to the "app" folder in one shot. Very easy and straight forward (I also wrote down the bloatware apk filenames so I didn't forget that I moved over last time). Tried the update again, installed just fine, and phone is up and running.

AND....root is INTACT!

Btw...I had no idea there was a new update available until my friend who just got a new Bionic said he's having problems rooting on software v5.9.902
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
Not sure if anyone found a fix, but someone on the Google Code forum has found a solution. I am NOT taking credit for his fix, simply getting it out there as it is a huge issue.

1) Open up the .zip for your custom or stock Rom and look in the /system folder for a file called "build.prob". Copy this to your Desktop as you will be editing the file and then replacing the original on the Rom.

2) Open Notepad++ or any text editor of your choice and open the file. You are going to want to search for a line that says:

# try to disable proximity sensor in call by default

gsm.proximity.enable=false

Uncomment that line and make it equal to false.

3) Next, copy it back onto the /system directory of the Rom and then flash it. If it doesn't work for you, I am sorry. This is what worked for me so I just wanted to get another solution out there.

Again, I did not make this solution! I found it on Google Code forums.

Enjoy!
