Market enable do work. You can try hidemyass.com, and get proxy. IP and port. And use those setting in auto IP apps, and your device will use the US IP. You can get amazon apps as well by using that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thectjes:
thankyou but how exactly i do it?

i go to hidemyass.com on my phone or my pc and where can i find auto IP apps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Go to hidemyass, press IP proxy tab.

Download the auto IP app

Copy US IP and port, and paste it in the auto IP app.

And connect.

Edit:

Autoproxy is the name. Link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mgranja.autoproxy_lite

[HTC Sensation XL] Teh_Tech:
HI all, long time no post! Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas & a wonderful new year!

Right, I need your help forum, I'm getting a brand spanking new HTC Sensation XE for christmas, and I want to be ready to get to work on it ASAP!

A few questions:

1) How can I backup the whole ROM in its brand new state so I can restore the original software should I need to for warranty purposes? I remember way back I was able to do this to my Desire!

2) How easy is it to root & S-off? (I've had successes in the past rooting & S-Off'ing my old Desires)

3) Please can you provide me links for the relevant pages, link to S-OFF, Root, Backup whole phone & the ROM listings please?

thanks all & I hope to hear from you all soon :)

Arty.
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
This is the Sensation XL forum man...U can post your question in the Sensation box becuz those 2 are really alike ;) Merry Christmas
[HTC Sensation XL] Teh_Tech:
Thanks!

I posted here as there are only 2 Sensation forums, the standard Sensation & the Sensation XL, and being as the XE is newer than the original Sensation, it should be more like the XL than XE, but yeah I shall also post there too.

:)
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
Actually not, the XE is more likely to the Original Sensation as they have the same design, the only thing is different is that XE has Beats Audio and 1.5Ghz Dual Core CPU and Sensation has 1.2Ghz Dual Core CPU
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
its ok mate. all you need is in the sensation forum as no actual XE forum as joined with sensation. you will need to follow instructions to root the phone and visit alpha rev site to get s-off info. rooting procedure is all explained in the sensation forum. good luck mate...........

1. once recovery is flashed then can back up your rom there

2. not sure if s-off is available for XE but it is for sensation and they are very similar phones. think super cid also works for XE so can flash any stock rom if stuck

3. sensation XE forum is joint with Sensation so look in there
[HTC Sensation XL] capychimp:
Xe is sensation just higher CPU clock, and beats native in the xe Rom, sensation roms work on sensation xe also. Rcmix for sensation works on sensation xe also, if you want some ice cream, sadly I have not had luck with it on xl yet, looks like we might need a kernel there
[HTC Sensation XL] Teh_Tech:
Thanks capychimp for your reply, on Christmas Day too! :)

To be honest, I'd rather hack away at the same software version that's already on it, which is why I asked if there was anyway to Nandroid backup the fone before its been rooted? I remember way back there was a post on how to do this with the Desire when I first got mine which actually worked!

So I still require the following information:

** links or tutorials on how to backup unrooted phone software

** links or tuts for S-OFF'ing & rooting

** link for site that hosts RUU ROMS (like shipped-roms.com for Desire)

Yeah I think thats it for now! I will be getting the phone by this Friday, so would appreciate any or all the above info ASAP!

Thanks, I know this is a big ask, and I cant wait to be dissecting Android ROM's again! :)

Steevie.
[HTC Sensation XL] Teh_Tech:
BUMP anyone pls?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
As far as I know you can't get S-OFF yet. But as far as the rest of your questions go, just look in the forum all the answers are there...
[HTC Sensation XL] jeandujardin01:
Nandroid without root requires a modified recovery which we dont have so any non root backup for now could be done with Mybackup Pro or Titanium Backup

no S-Off for now

root guide & RUU are in the same forum you posted this thread ....
[HTC Sensation XL] Teh_Tech:
Thanks for your post! :)

I can now confirm that my new HTC SensationXE has been sucessfully S-OFF'ed & rooted :):):):) Now all I have to do is collect up bits for a new custom ROM hehe :):)
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Why keep posting in the wrong forum... this thread needs closing!

Where is Mr Clown when you need him lol :D
[HTC Sensation XL] Teh_Tech:
And WHY do you think this is the wrong forum???

I was posing asking for help on my HTC SENSATION about the DEVELOPMENT of it... just WHAT is your problem???
[HTC Sensation XL] Schumi 01:
You are better off looking at this FORUM for the Sensation and the Sensation XE, there are more posts and Roms on there. The forum you have posted in is for a Different Model of Sensation.
[HTC Sensation XL] jeandujardin01:
*Facepalm* ROFL
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
I said what I did because there is a couple of posts earlier in this thread telling you that you're posting in the wrong place and you acknowledged that. Then you continued to ask for help in this thread and your questions weren't about development they were about you asking where to find the tutorials for rooting, s-off etc which should've been asked in the General section... I don't have a problem and I don't want any arguments, I'm just trying to keep the section clean so people can find help easily...

Schumi 01 has kindly posted the correct forum for you to post in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
hi guys,

i love the samsung galaxy s2 phone, but i have a question.

Whilst using the phone, i end up accidently pressing the volume button and this can sometimes mean i put the "Notification" or "Ringer" volume really down.

I only want to be able to control such options by actually going into the Settings menu, so is there a way to disable this button or somehow change it's functionality?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
BUMP!

Surely someone must have the answer?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
Hey there. Have you even tried searching in the market? The very first app for "volume" query can do just that :-)

Sent from outer space by aliens on tapatalk using SGS2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
thanks aj rockwell. That app i believe only helps you adjust settings with volume. I actually want to Remap buttons, so that the volume button cannot adjust sounds other than "IN-CALL volume"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
this is so annoying, I was going to open a thread with the some issue. Is any chanse,mod which can switch a default option when we press volume from ringer volume to media volume. many times by incident I turn ringer volume down and I dont hear a ringer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
@ x7 - Halleluyah! At last i find someone who has exactly the issue as myself.

Guys, all i want is some app that can disable the volume button from controlling the MEDIA's/NOTIFICATION's volume. The only way i want to control these is by actually going to SETTINGS>SOUND ...surely there must be an app that can REMAP the Volume key functions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
I agree, why Samsung did this think That you can change volume ringer by pressing a volumes button? This is so silly

Sent from Samsung Galaxy S 2 (80GB)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
the only thing we can do x7 is hope that someone on here will know a fix for this volume issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
I took a look in android market but I havent found anythink
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
I checked too, but could not find anything. The only one i have seen whilst searching on google, is Button Remapper. But there is no information to say that this app is safe for the SGS2.

Anyone? Help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
x7nofate mate, pls ignore the replies. I feel like such a twat now :confused:. It looks like AJ.Rockwell was right...i never properly tried the recommended app and was too quick to ignore it's features.

Download "Volume Control +" from android market and install it.

Once installed, set the volume for all the media/ring/notifications. Then simply goto the options where it allows you to lock each individual type of tone. So for example if you don't want to decrease your ringtone volume by accident, then select that.

Save your settings and you should have a little lock icon in your status bar.

Now when you put your volume for your ringtone down, it looks like its gone down again, right???? WRONG! Since Volume Control+ has locked it down, VC+ automatically forces it back to the "locked" settings. Genius! :D

Let me know how you get on mate!

PS: If you need any help or just wanna chat android, then PM me ur email and i'll add you to msn/yahoo/skype or whatever you use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
I installed a "Volume Control +" ages ago and I locked in settings but I can put my volume ringtone down anyway so I thought that it doesn't work but I was wrong. It works, thank you very much:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeddy:
Bump! I searched XDA on Google for this exact thread, my problem too. My question is, with that apps reccommendation (thanks for that), does it still bring up the volume OSD? That's my major annoyance, and something that happens to people whenever I pass my phone over to them.

If Samsung doesn't care about customers, how can it hope to keep them? | The Verge

The Galaxy S is only a year old and already abandoned. I am going with the fruit phone next time, at least I know apple will update my phone for years after the sale. And real updates, not bug fixes.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Go get your iphone then.

If you have the mindset that allows one piece of sensationalist journalism to sway you that much, then that's probably just the phone for you.

You see, the thing is:

The author of the article in the OP is doing it wrong:

He completely glosses over the idea that Samsung actually has this right, for the average user:

The Galaxy S DOESN'T have the RAM or the resources to properly run ICS.

Why in the world would Samsung want to push an update to a device that it's just going to run poorly on? (ESPECIALLY to a device with that many millions of users).

Actually, I'm a little disappointed in The Verge for allowing such an awfully-written article to be posted, as far as the one-sidedness of it goes. They've become one of my favorite places on the web to go to for my tech news, but it's definitely NOT because of articles like this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
The Galaxy S has the same specs as the nexus s. And why are you so offended that I am going with an iPhone lol. Is your life so empty that you feel the need to cheer for a corporation? I don't get fanboyism, never will. Samsung has screwed their customers repeatedly since the first gen of android devices, and people are starting to catch on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meranto:
They might have the same specs, but the Galaxy S comes with TouchWiz. The Nexus S doesn't. Difference explained?

Don't be surprised that the developer version of a phone gets the updates and the mass-sold consumer version with branding and skins does not, however inconvenient.

Apart from that, they have supported it for about 19 months now through 3 major releases, instead of their promise of 18 months and a minimum of 1 major release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
So he bought the phone with Eclair, it got an upgrade to Froyo and another upgrade to Gingerbread and he's *****ing that he wont get ICS?! The Galaxy S has already had TWO major OS updates, do people really expect these things to get every major update as long as they own the device? The sense of entitlement that some people seem to have is absolutely rediculous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Exactly, which is why I said I am going with the iPhone next time. That way I don't have to worry about it. I will just know I am going to get updates. Like I said, I. don't have allegiances to certain companies. I just go with the company that is going to treat me best, and right now, that company appears to be apple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Fanboyism?

WTF.

Look at the facts, and maybe you'll understand...

(I'll take this slowly, but try to keep up.)

I know that the Galaxy S and the Nexus S have the same specs:

That's common knowledge.

But:

The Nexus S doesn't have to run Touchwiz, hence the update.

The Galaxy S would HAVE to run Touchwiz, so it would have to also be included in any update, because THAT'S WHAT 10+ MILLION AVERAGE USERS WOULD EXPECT TO SEE, THE SAME UI THEY HAD THE DAY BEFORE. (sorry for the Allcaps, but it's just frustrating to me that someone doesn't understand this.)

Touchwiz, in an update with ICS, would BARELY fit:

It might run, but users would quickly get low storage space messages, and memory-issue crashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
See post right before yours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
They treat you best?

How, by giving you updates that your phone can handle?

You applaud them for that, yet you think it's a bad thing when a company (Samsung) wouldn't send an update to a device that COULDN'T properly handle one?

Apple's way around the issue is to rarely update their hardware, so that it can handle any update they throw at it for 2+ years.

Samsung (and the major Android manufacturers in general) deals with it by continuously pushing the envelope by releasing cutting-edge hardware, and then updating software to the devices that can handle it.

Which would you rather have? 2 year old hardware, and last year's updates, or tomorrow's hardware and tomorrow's updates?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
You are aware that the Galaxy S on att and tmo still have Froyo? And I didn't buy anything except the epic touch from Samsung. As I have said repeatedly, unlike some, I don't cheer for corporations when it comes to plastic with electrical components inside, I just go with the company that will treat me best, and from the looks of it, Apple appears to be that company with a record of providing almost 3 years of true os updates (bug fixes don't count). If you guys want to buy from a company that has demonstrated that it does not care about you after a sale, based solely on fanboyism, then that is your prerogative. I have no desire to argue with you over who the best phone company is because I have a life lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I did:

You're getting dumber and dumber as this goes on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meranto:
Whatever tips your balance off course, for many it would be because of other things but at least this is honest reasoning.

Shouting that Samsung lied to costumers and mistreats them is just stupid and shows no understanding of market mechanisms, but displays tunnelvision instead.

I understand it sucks, having had an Omnia2 before my Galaxy S2, but it was known beforehand that the updatecycle would stop somewhere at the end of 2011, as it is to end at Q3/Q4-2012 for the Galaxy S2. By that time the same discussion will start, this time about the Galaxy Nexus, with the same stupid arguments, petitions and tears.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
This is the crux of the whole thing:

I would never, in my worst "phone-geek" nightmare, dream of owning the same device for 3 years, I don't care which phone it was.

That's an eternity in terms of technological advances, and if that's what you're looking for: a phone that'll still be updated (software-wise) for 3 years, then an iphone is EXACTLY what you need.

I'd rather have a hole in my head than to be stuck with ANY phone for that long.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
If Samsung didn't honestly care for it's customers people would have never gotten an update at all.

It's entertaining that you're white knighting yourself with the supposed honor of refusing to buy Sansung devices because of them no longer supporting year-old hardware.

Things move fast, the employees that make the updates at Samsung don't have any obligation to continue to work on old hardware.

The Evo Shift isn't getting ICS and it released after the Galaxy S line. Is HTC suddenly not carrying for its customers?

Why, exactly do you care?

Your device WILL get ICS and the chances are you are rooted and even if it didn't [get ICS] some developer(s) is/are working on it.

Hell, I'm sure that rooted Galaxy S users will get it.

Enjoy getting gimped updates with features cut out once your apple device is no longer the top-of-their-line.

There is absolutely no reason for people with a device that old to expect ICS via their manufacturer.

You're basically saying that Samsung should update phones that it shouldn't really be on to it, providing a lackluster User experience.

The users would get all sorts of issues with it and no amount of features would change the fact that some of the issues would push that customer away from that manufacturer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
So sorry that Android's updates are taking much bigger steps than IOS' updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] curl2k1:
I believe the thing that the OP doesn't take into account is that even apple phones usually become to slow for the latest and greatest iOS version after 18 months to 2 years. In which case, you are back at square one if you had bought any number of android phones.

Regardless, 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other.

I can see both sides of this argument. My biggest problem with this is that the Galaxy S phone are still being sold by carriers. Just today, I know 2 people that bought a Mesmerize on US Cellular. Today. To them, this is not an old phone, it's brand new. I think if Samsung will not continue to update these phones, kill them so people aren't buying them new and then disappointed that they're not supported.

ICS can be ported, its just it would be slow as man sauce and then everyone would be complaining that the update made their phones slow.

The phone launched with Eclair here in the states. Froyo was already available. So it launched with an outdated OS. Fact is the phone is 1 year old, he has the right to be disappointed that his phone won't be getting an update, considering it was a top of the line device when it launched. This is a major issue when you get android phones and the only sure way around this is a nexus phone. People on here get too offended when ever someone criticizes android or say the iphone is better in some way. Too much fanboyism.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
perhaps if samsung abandoned touchwiz on its older devices, then they would be able to push newer OS's without fear of its much-hated touchwiz preventing updates?

it's too bad manufactures dont make their UIs uninstallable and/or available on the market for only their phones for people to decide whether or not they want them. that way they continue supporting legacy devices.
