[Samsung Infuse 4G] wookspy:
Had a Captivate...same thing...except dropped in toilet.....that may be why it smells funny when i use it...

But anyways....after it was in rice for a couple of days....I let sit for over a week before I did anything else to it....now it works just as it did before except the battery life is gone.....

I'd let it thoroughly dry out for weeks if possible....just like everyone else said...Wife drop her iPhone4 in our pool.....got it working again....but the battery was shot....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mejori:
toooo funny!!!:eek: :D :D :D

hope you get it working !!! good luck!!! do you have insurance?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iphone4:
Just buy a new battery duh
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
Hi all,

If you visit this forum you are probably interested in rooting your phone however here is a word of warning in case you can't root a SonyEricsson Arc S. This is unfortunately also my case as my Arc S is a company phone so I can't fiddle too much with it.

Anyway, the Arc S has a quantity of bloatware pre-installed that cannot be removed unless you root your phone. One piece of this bloatware is the Facebook UploadManager process that keeps running all the time and will restart automatically if you kill it.

This process has been coded by Facebook to use ftp and will hijack any other file transfer based on FTP. Any FTP client you install will fail to transfer files because of this background process. If you want to transfer small files you can kill the Facebook process and hope that your FTP transfer finishes before the facebook crap restarts, for large files you are out of luck.

As a side comment: SonyEricsson is obviously getting money from Facebook to make this crap non-removable by the end customer. There is absolutely no reason to make this pre-installed stuff non removable!

I really wish Google issued stricter terms and conditions to companies that license the Android OS to stop them from doing this. I am really questioning Google's business model of allowing Android to become a trojan horse for unwanted stuff running on your phone without permission.
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
simple solution: root with doomlords easy rooting kit and remove facebook.apk from /system/app by using root explorer or anything similar.. then if u want it back just reinstall it from the market it won't be running in the background if you don't use it :) trust me :)
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
Perhaps you didn't read the part where I say that I can't root my phone.
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
lol why not, even if its a company phone you can r oot it and unroot when you're done with removing the facebook apk?
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
Yes I have just done it and I have removed at least 5 or 6 turds of facebook ****. I hope the unroot thingy works if I need to unroot in the future...

Die facebook die!

PS: thanks for the suggestion!
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Usually it should work and if it doesn't just flash a new firmware using PCC or SEUS, then the root is also gone. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
if you flash another FW the facebook beast will come back :P

but the doomlord unrooting kit works as long as you stick with the firmware you've rooted and DO NOT make changes to the busybox installed(e.g. installing a higher version) !
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
Hell FTP keeps failing after removing almost all background processes. It seems that the problem was not due to the facebook upload manager process!

Is anyone successfully using an ftp client on this phone? I really don't know what else I can try...
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Which FTP client do you use?

Then I'll try if it's working for me. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
I have tried AndFTP, ES File Explorer and a third one and they all fail with large files. In my case I'm trying to transfer FLAC files...

I have also tried changing ports and both active and passive modes. If I try to transfer a folder with 10 files it will usually fail after 2 or 3 minutes so sometimes the first file goes fine...
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Okay, I'll try this later at work and give a feedback. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] _popcorn:
I use SwiftFTP on my arc (not arc s). seems to be working fine. i'm unrooted, using stock firmware 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42)
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
As far as I understand Swiftp is an FTP server that runs on the phone to make the phone files accessible remotely. I need to do the opposite and I need a client on the phone...
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Just tried to transfer a folder with 700 MB several times and after 1-2 minutes it fails every time.

I don't really need it, so it doesn't matter for me, but sorry that I can't help you.
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
Ok Thanks... so I guess it is not related to something I installed on my phone... do you mind letting me know what ROM you are using and what running programs you see in "Settings"...

(Nevermind about the ROM... I can see it in your signature)...
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Just a few running services, don't think anything would trouble.
[Xperia Arc General] adoet_t:
am using FtpCafe, it works awesome,, did you try it?
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
Yes I tried FtpCafe, AndFTP and ES File Explorer and I get the same error from all of them. All these clients work fine if I transfer small files that take only a few seconds to complete.

Can you reliably transfer a folder with several large (40 MB) files taking several minutes without problems?

If that's the case then perhaps you can give us more details about your phone... which ROM you are using, which background services are running, etc...
[Xperia Arc General] adoet_t:
all works fine when transfer 40MB > ,,

edit your FtpCafe preferences > Socket connection timeout > No timeout.

also check your server about timeout.

am still on stock kernel & ROM. (rooted)
[Xperia Arc General] anonimo:
I have tried to change that parameter in FtpCafe but it doesn't make any difference in my case. I have also tried changing the buffer size in FtpCafe and transfers seem a bit more reliable with a larger buffer but eventually they will fail anyway.

One thing I have noticed in your screenshots is that your transfer is slow... Probably you are not ftping over a local network. I think this could be an indication that I am hitting a socket flow control problem in Android that appears only with fast transfers of data.

I can transfer files without any timeout issue if I use the smb protocol between the pc and the phone; smb is much slower than ftp and perhaps that's the reason why it works in my scenario...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mormonhunter:
After installing ICS on the I9000 (2.1 RC) I seem to not be able to get my PC to detect the phone (Unable to install Driver Software).

I have downloaded the drivers for the Galaxy and also have tried connecting it to Kies which also resulted in a failure.

In the Device Manager the phone shows up as ''Samsung Mobile MTP Device''

Cheers.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttwad:
Thats the problem with ics at the mo, its still beta and glitchy. Stick to JW1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardedwonder:
Well you need the Nexus drivers as it explains in the OP of TH build. FWIW it works perfectly for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
It's the same reason your computer doesn't see your phone when on cm7, it isn't a Sammy phone anymore. You need nexus s drivers for your computer to see the phone, and it will no longer work with kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishangoyal:
just reinstall latest version of kies and then connect your phone to pc through usb.. it'll install the drivers automatically and everything wil work fine .. kies won't work but USB storage will... make sure to connect phone in debugging mode

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

you don't need nexus s drivers for CM7 to see your phone.. agreed kies won't work.. but USB storage will work just fine..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranhms:
Hi guys, Merry Christmas - Happy and Bugless New Year!

I ve got Samsung Galaxy s2, and i have some question about it,

1. Why it boots itself when long time wifi is ON?

2. I updated 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 trough KIES, (i live in Ukraine), and now i check, there is no update for me in KIES, but all world running on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 official updates trough Kies, but why i can not get it?,

3. Is there any influence of GSM operator on update for android version? i mean if i change my simcard to other operator, will it update?, or it doesn`t change anything?

4. Why my phone running maximum 9 Hours, ok i am medium user, playin, facebook etc. but, in any case, 8-9 hours not so little for this phone?, sometimes even 4 hours and battery is DEATH :D

5. Go Ex Launcher is heavier then Touchviz ?? i mean which of them more soft and make more less busy cpu and ram?

6. hmm this is interesting question, is there any trick which can make my location different to kies, to i get official updates of another country :D:D, i know this is utopia, but whatever i would like to learn, why not?

Thank you guys, sorry for my laggy, damaged, and un understandable ENGLISH :D:D, but i hope you will decode what i say :D:D

Wait you SIMPLE ENGLISH EXPLANATION, Hell yeah, finally wrote in english :D:D,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishangoyal:
Though I don't have S2 but will try to answer your queries:

1) No idea

2) The updates are location specific, samsung decides which rom to release for which region and when .. 2.3.6 may not be available for your reason

3) As I said, updates are location specific.. if your phone is carrier locked then changing the carrier may make the update available. Check sammobile.com and see which gingerbread version is available for your location

4) Reduce the number of widgets on your screens and turn off autosync .. this will lead to quite some increase in your battery life.. better root your phone and uninstall system apps that you don't use.. and much better option is flashing some custom rom

5) I find Launcher pro plus the most light and smooth launcher yet on my SGS

6) There is a way to let kies think you are from different location.. some registry editing or something.. but better option is to download the firmware from sammobile.com and flashing using odin..

Hope I was able to help.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mormonhunter:
That's the thing, it does not install drivers automatically, i have installed newest version of Kies and nothing happened, i have tried uninstalling the already installed SGS drivers and let windows auto install them but all i get is 'unable to install driver software'.

I went and downloaded the SGS USB Drivers manually but it also does nothing, im going to try the Galaxy Nexus drivers right now tho.

yeah, thanks so much squadzone!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nelsonchrissimom:
I'm currently using your CM 9.0 BETA 2. It's awesome!

I have a small request: can you please modify the TASS.rle file and change the flashscreen or the pre bootanimation screen. It shows a CM7 for galaxy mini in a purple and orange colour as the previously released CM7.x versions!

Doubt: Can I replace the TASS.rle file in yours with the one in tj style's CM7.1?

Happy New Year too!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] shujanster:
Squadzone, Thanks For Your Kind Help..........
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
Thank you so much for the tutorial.

Actually I'm very interested about developing Android Applications.

I know a bit about Java and a bit more about C# (now I'm working on this).

I just want to ask, wether developing application and ROM is same?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sad25kag:
Thank SquadZone (Terima Kasih Harry)

Terima kasih squadzone atas tutorialnya, mudah2an saya bisa bikin cm9 menjadi lebih baik. yang saya ingin pelajari bikin kernel 825 Mhz, mudah mudahan saya bisa. ;)

Big thank for Squadzone, squadzone my idol. (Sory for bad english)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
Different to some extent I guess. Android apps are completely built using Java, and could be built from any Platform. About ROM, its based on UNIX or Linux programming so Linux is mandatory. Kernels are written in C/CPP and compilation is being done executing UNIX commands. Just my assumptions about ROM and Kernel, maybe I'm wrong too.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
apps=java

kernel=c

rom=java on a linux kernel. If ur not modifying kernel c is not reqd. everything else is java in the rom but it's compiled a little differently as u said. knowing linux will obviously help.

cmiiw
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
Thank you!

This is the best tutorial I've seen yet :)

Taking really long to do a 'repo sync' :p Now I know how hard you guys worked :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
lol yea repo sync is actually the easiest part :D

compiling without errors is tough, but squad made it easier here i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
Actually just downloading the source from CM is easy. And compiling after the download is easy too.... The hardest part is to make the mods.... squadzone codded those cool functions in his CM source.... The bootanimation, the status bar transperancy.... That the hard part.... To implement something :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] najashark:
just finished compile the cm9 but after flash, it failed to boot into homescreen. what should I edit to make it boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] AntiBillOS:
Upload you work!

We need see...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Try Squadzone's boot.img maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] najashark:
this is my zip file after compiling, the problem is. it cannot boot into homescreen after flashing. :(

DOWNLOAD

will try it now

EDIT: ah, still no luck. the phone boot, vibrate but nothing shows on the screen. i hope squadzone will help.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] AntiBillOS:
But it works! But why screen dont show anythin?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] squadzone:
the screen is to many flicker and cause cant update the layer, this cause by egl, read refresh rate upto 60Hz, and this need to hack the egl again, but i will not continue this cm9 project until get stable source for do that, and NEED FAST INTERNET that i havent :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Gribonn:
Was a pain to follow your tutorial, squad...

Anyways, I got to the building part (I think):

Now the galaxy s building wiki link that you posted tells me to run some file extraction file, which I just can't find. Without that I'm getting shtloads of errors (Don't know if same happens when I've managed to extract the files).

I'm thinking about getting a new phone, and give my blessed G2 to my wire.. I just don't know what phone has the magic - perfect balance of development and support that the G2 had.
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1ForFun:
There isn't one. Hah being as my only two smartphones have been the G1 and the G2...it scares me to go to any other phone for lack of development. Heck even the G1 has more development still than some of the newer phones that have come out over the past few months.
[G2 and Desire Z General] isaac970:
if you plan on selling on craigslist be aware that buyers will most certainly always want up to 20 dollars off the price your asking, so just a thought you might want to add 20 extra dollars to what you are asking, you never know maybe it will sell for those extra 20 but then you can also get your asking price, however, if you are not selling on CL then disregard this...
[G2 and Desire Z General] angr1112:
In the US, around $175. Europe, Asia or anywhere else there is GSM $300. You are probably going to have to hold out for awhile before someone is willing to pay those prices.

[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
I don't know if this helps in your calculations of what your used G2 is worth, but brand new G2's still in the factory sealed box bring $325-$400 in USA on ebay.

Not really sure why you would want to sell your G2 though, there is not a phone I would rather have if you gave me a budget of $1000 :eek:

There is no other phone made in all of the world with a REAL keyboard that has the G2's combination of reliability, style, fit & finish, reception quality, voice quality and dev support and it runs on the carrier than is 1/3 the price of the other cell phone companies, what in all the world could replace it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
I'm partial to agree myself. It's hard when you follow android and new technology and see all these great looking, better spec'd devices coming out but just can't give up on what really is a fantastic device.

Also, you can run the HTC Desire-Z from Bell Canada on AT&T ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottcom:
There is plenty of nice phones out there. But I wouldn't buy a g2. It scratches easy, back cover is horrible. The phone is just boring. Been trying to sell mine. Seems like 130 -150 is what I got for offers. I did laugh at the person and proceeded to tell him to f himself. Lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
If you don't want/need a QWERTY keyboard, there are plenty of better options. But otherwise, every other phone on the market with a keyboard is trash compared to the G2/DZ.

After too many work's and to many white night GB now working, off course there's no GSM waitin to Rebellos and Oleg work's on. Thank's for them to make this possible.

First Picture :

This ddms because S8530 no lcd then S8500 can use it with LCD view.

Update :

First pre-alpha SD

Work : Touch screen, Screen rotate...

Don't work : Wifi, Audio, all key...

I9000 factroyfs XJVO, initramfs XJVP full with modification!!!

Kernel GB some modif but not necessary, dont remember now

Just to clarify, all the work is mine except the kernel which is Rebellos and Oleg, I had no choice to use the kernel in order to work on porting Gb. But it will be confidentially.

[Android Development on Bada] nbates66:
suggest not calling it "release" because it's certainly not :P rename thread?

maybe *MAYBE* pre-alpha release once it's shown on a phone with working display - S8530 has slightly different sdcard interface apparently... i've not been able to mount anything yet on my S8500, well done getting platform to start on S8530.
