[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uratrtl:
Hi, I'm extremely new to Window Phone and I'm wondering what is the best way to play audiobooks on this device?

Coming from iPhone I'm used to creating a smart playlist and setting all the tracks to skip on shuffle. Can I do that on WP7? Or is an app the best solution?

I've looked at using Overdrive Media Control on Windows and an app from here zunescene.mobi/forums/index.php?topic=47145.0 to convert it to a compatible format. But then there doesn't seem to be an easy way of deleting the files.

Anyway advice would be much appreciated!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisR82:
Hey everyone...last night I tried messing around with some Samsung official ROMs and some really weird things happened...:

I tried a Android 2.3.6 ROM (from a Samsung Firmware page) - it kept enabling/disabling my SIM card constantly.

I tried a Europe (general Europe I guess), it kept restarting my phone on start-up (boot loop).

I installed back my Vodafone (Spain) 2.3.5 ROM but now Samsung Keys says this device cant be updated trough it! (before I started messing around with it, it used to say "no new updates found").

Originally my idea was to have a Samsung stock ROM that is not carrier-based (Europe region though of course).

But now that I'm having a "white circle in the lower-left of the screen" problem I also need to keep my Vodafone ROM installed.

Any idea how to fix the "cant update trough Kies" problem? =/

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I took a look on the Stock ROMs posted here on XNA (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)...any recommendation for a generic Europe ROM?

I suppose there's no way to actually fix the issue so Kies can still be used? =/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I would remove kies and delete all kies registry info and then reinstall .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisR82:
I've managed to do it in end. Here's what I did:

Go here: http://fus.nanzen.se/ and download version 2.1 of the PC program.

Use the PC program to get the firmware for your device/carrier.

Use Odin to install the firmware and then enter recovery mode (Up-Volume key + Home key + Power key while turning on) and format your Data.

That solved the problem for me and now Kies allows me to update the device again like before. ^_^

3 words for you: you are awesome!

Thanks for helping me with the Kies problem! All you suggested worked just fine!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ardatdat:
First of all, Merry X'mas! I have been going out for hundreds of buffets and drinks these days... now writing this post with little drunk :D

I think some might get confused with my kernel and why rooting is bundled in the kernel? Should rooting a separate process?

Let me explain how it works.

Most of you would know what is rooting. It is the granting of superuser permission in the android environment such that you could execute commands with the highest right. With this right, you can *almost* do anything in the phone, like touching the kernel or like read/write any file system.

To get "rooted" is actually simple with a few words: To put su into /system/bin/ and put Superuser.apk into /system/app/

Simple? Right? Yes, it is simple to say. In old days (dated back in the years of Google Nexus One), if you want to put su or Superuser.apk into those directories, you need to have rooted. But wait, you need to get rooted before you can root the phone? This does not make sense!!! Therefore, we need to use another method to put those files to the system. Yes, it is CWM recovery. It is through using custom recovery that we could write scripts to put those 2 files into the system. And therefore, in old days (or even in nowadays), one of the method to root your phone is to flash the .zip file using CWM.

In years of Samsung device, there is a brand new method that can actually flash something into the system apart from using CWM. Yes, you guess right, it is through Odin3. It is through Odin3 that you could flash your ROM, kernel, radio, etc.

When Galaxy R (i9103) first appeared on the market, no CWM was made to this phone, and therefore the only method is to flash the su and Superuser using Odin3.

While the most straight-forward approach is to flash the whole /system/ (factoryfs.img) (with su and Superuser.apk already embedded) using Odin3, this method is working but is not suggested because this will need you to overwrite the whole /system/ (of 5xx MB) and the flashing time is long.

So, here it comes another not-so straight-forward approach. That is to flash a custom kernel through Odin3. And we put su and Superuser.apk inside the custom kernel and ask the kernel ramdisk to execute a script to check whether your phone already get su in /system/bin/, if no, the script will copy the files to your phone. Using this method, what we need to do is to flash a custom kernel with a few megabytes and thus the flashing time is fast and it would have no impact to any of the apps nor data. This method is the method I use for rooting.

As described above, when you have flashed the kernel, it will push su and Superuser.apk to the device once boot up and after that, your phone is rooted and you can change to any other kernels that would still retain your phone in rooted state. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
In other words, we can put your kernel on i9103 with odin and immediately later put back stock kk5 kernel and device will stay rooted and with oc?

But it increases the counter.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ardatdat:
device will stay rooted and with oc? << 'yes' to rooted, but 'no' to OC

OC is done in the kernel. Root is done through a script in the ramdisk. The script is actually pushing su and Superuser to your phone. Once your phone get su and Superuser, it is rooted and you will not be un-rooted unless these files are deleted. When you flash other kernel, of course you cannot enjoy the OC kernel. I think it is easy to understand.

By far, I cannot see the harm of the increase in counter. Actually, there is no official statements that this counter will lead to non-warranty. In theory, when you have rooted the device, you can have the right to alter any system files and that is already sufficient to make your device out of warranty.

Experiences from many people have proved that Samsung is still willing to provide support & warranty to the device even if it is flashed with any custom things or rooted. Although it is not officially acknowledged & guaranteed.

Thanks SbXLivE. I am not a student and is working right now. I am over age of 30 ... :cool:

Good question. I have been investigating into the kernels and ROMs from the date of Google Nexus One (more than 1 year). Experiences are gained from playing with the nexus one and I have been compiling custom kernel for it. In terms of technical skill, I am much lag behind from those ROM and Kernel gurus that could possibly modify anything.

I am still a learner and gaining experience everyday. Let's discuss and share our ideas to make us grow! To compile your own kernel or ROM, A Ubuntu environment (linux) is a must.

You could try Skype in the market.

I don't believe that can be done over the Verizon 3g network, but can be done on 4g if both parties have 4g connections.

I've had my wife gtalk video call me while I was on 3G and she was on our home wifi. I believe we have done it while we both have been on 3G.

No. I mean over the cellular 3G network. Like normal video-calling, not over skype or anything. And yeah, I don't think any Android phone supports that yet. Faaaark.....coz Nokia had Symbian S60 support it 5 years ago! I remember video calling on my Nokia 5800 over 3G. Its 3 bucks/minute here in India.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] beartard:
I use Qik. Even though it's made by Skype, it's not nearly as buggy. It's what Sprint uses when they're doing product placement on TV shows like "Fringe."
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kevintstephens:
I prefer Oovoo. It is much less buggy than Skype and can video chat with up to 12 different people at once. Works over 3G, 4G, and WiFi. The video quality is very nice as well. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with Facebook to allow video calling to your Facebook contacts.

Try this, its had been modified to best ratio by me, no lag when recording, playing, video-audio interleave(either is faster) on my class 4 sdcard. NOTE: Lower class sdcard maybe cannot use this tweak at all because of write speed of the card cannot catch up with the data is being write into it.

Anyway its around 2.8 mbps h264 640 x 480 30fps Vid, 128 kbps 48000 Hz 1 channel (mono) aac audio and in m4v format.

Low profile:

around 1.4 mbps h263 640 x 480 30fps Vid, 64 kbps 48000 Hz 1 channel aac audio and in 3gp format.

I have attached as Flashable CWM zip

P.S: IF you have higher class sdcard you would not be here report this problem :D feel free to go and modified the value that fit your sdcard speed perfectly. MAKE BACKUP BEFORE MODIFYING THE VALUE, AS GOT ONCE I MODDED "EXTRA" VALUE AND GET SCREW-UP ENDING AS BOOT LOGO STUCK. OR DELETE THE FILES USE ADB AND TRY AGAIN :D:D:D
