[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkt_:
Just flash a custom ROM or AOSP Crespo ROM. If your ROM is the one that you got with your phone then it should have no trouble updating. I don't know when Gingerbread checks for updates but I remember when I first got my phone it updated pretty much straight away.

Regardless, flashing to a stock or custom ROM would probably be your best bet as, from what I've heard, Google will be pushing OTA updates to the Nexus S for ICS soon anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikey68:
Try pushing it. Set the date for a year down the line and leave the phone for an hour.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokes:
In my phone also i was not getting any update .

The phone was bought it from USA , which is a factory unlocked T Mobile Nexus S and the same is using in India, through Vodafone.

What i done was, changed my SIM to the T-Mobile which came along with the pack and immediately i got a system up-gradation message. Now enjoying ICS.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
Hi people,

To start with, I did my research and haven't got answers to my question...so am posting one here.

Ok, so I plan to buy HTC Desire for my wife, but wanted to know if I now go to buy it, will it be an LCD or AMOLED? or something else??

There seems to some confusion about the screen?

Also, if you'll could help me in deciding between the Desire and the Desire S.

Wanted a front facing camera phone, but is the Desire S's FF camera any good? If it is hopeless, then I might as well buy a phone without it...

So, thanks so much for reading...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bw7and:
desire used to come in S-LCD and S-AMOLED...

now u will only get S-LCD

desire S is only available in S-LCD

Desire S is way better with more RAM and better camera...and hardware....worth it

dont buy desire..crappy camera...

so go for desire S....

also i'll highly recommend samsung Galaxy R which comes at the same price but is way more better
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justexpect:
S-LCD

S-LCD is good too. Don't bother in picking one or the other.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
Thanx!

My only worry, the front facing camera quality of the Desire S. That is, IF I am buying that...

But so far my wife likes the Desire... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
Thanx, I will try to convince her, but if she likes the Desire, I am helpless. I wanted one with a FF camera, which is the Desire S. But let's see. It isn't in my budget yet. Waiting for the CES 2012 to work its charm... :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justexpect:
front camera

Yes, a front camera is good for video calls (3g or skype).

It's also good for the new Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) face unlock of the phone.

I will definitely recommend a phone with a front camera.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Enrique.DE:
Hi,

Im using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010498&highlight=hd2+ndt+miui as my frist ROM. Installation /flashing was flawless and the system works - it's a great improvement over Win mobile 6.5. Nice job, langthang, thank you soo much!

Since I'm brand new to the custom ROM thing I wonder if these issues are caused by the ROM or by myself because I'm inexperienced:

HD2 switches Power on if USB is plugged in.

When I connect it to my power supply, my phone starts. Is this because because some kind of Wake Up function is enabled?

synchronising contacts fails

I am using funambol to sync my contacts. Problem: Only some contacts got sync'd to my HD2. Most didn't. While this could very well be an data format issue, I also have a problem with the facebook app. As soon as I activate contact / friends sync, the Facebook app will hang my system. It will eventually reboot then.

MIUI browser tends to hang the system

I tried several times to start the browser by using a URL within a mail. Often this causes a hang condition. When deleting cache and data, everything works fine again.

Any idea what causes these problems?

kind regards

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamPengelly:
Guys,

I have the I9100XWKK5 build on my SGS2, and it runs beautifully. The only issue is that I don't have XEU in the CSC (i9100XXKJ3).

My question is, is there a way to just flash a new CSC file, so I can keep my lovely stable build, but change to XEU.

And also, can I just download any multi CSC that contains XEU file for 2.3.6, or does it have to be a build specific CSC?

Hope that makes sense, cheers in advance

Adam
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Firstly wrong section ........ you'll be moved to Q&A by a mod pretty soon...... secondly yeah you can flash just the CSC specific for your region...... But beware that'll wipe your phone ........ so i'd recommend taking a backup of contacts and apps .... via KIES or My Backup Pro.

Here's the thread to download the CSC from just flash the latest CSC for your region without any qualms

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamPengelly:
Mate, that is epic news :) Just one final question:

Does the CSC relate to the PDA or PHONE build? As I can't find the exact same combination on that page. However, I can find a XEU CSC for the PHONE build, but not the PDA build.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamPengelly:
So, I did the CSC flash only, and it all said PASS. However, not XEU in my CSC list on phone; used CSC_XEU_I9100XEUKH2

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I already purcahsed a TFP from BB to replace the one that has no serial # I bought on the first wave. My BB TFP comes in on Tuesday, but this weekend I received a call from a GS that they have one for me to exchange mine for. So I will have one extra if I go this route and wanted to see if anyone would like to buy one from me. I will charge you only what I paid for mine originally. I can go either tonight or tomorrow night when I get off of work and meet you at the GS. If no one is interested I can just turn mine into another GS store for a full refund, so it doesn't matter to me if I sell it our not since I'm not looking to try and make a profit off it. I am just trying to help someone out if they needed one. PM me for the price if interested, but like I said it's going to be exactly what I paid for it. I am not looking to ship but I can, but I will charge an extra $15-20 to ship through USPS. Also I can open it for you if you would like before purchasing it to show the buyer that it doesn't have any problems and the serial number is there. If it does have problems I can just return it to GS right away.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Well I was going to just turn it in for a refund this evening to the GS I bought it from. But I have been calling the 3 tablet GS stores in my area looking to see if they had any in stock, but they all said no and I put my name on there list for a return/exhange. So I deceided to just buy one from BB and it will be here tomorrow evening. But then, out of the blue, I received a call from GS a lot earlier than I thought from one of the GS's telling me that they received some and they reserved me one. So I thought of just exchanging it instead of getting a refund and help someone out looking for one without raping there wallet.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] daz_2000:
Hello,

I am a current transformer owner and love it. Mainly use it for web browsing, games, such as gta3 and playing avi files. It meets my needs pretty well.

I am considering the prime as I believe it can play mkv files in HD, my transformer struggles big time with this even in 720p using DicePlayer.

The extra storage space would be good, plus having a slimmer model etc.

Im not really interested in using the GPS. Have no need for it, as my sgs2 phone acts as my in car navigation.

Anyone else come from the og transformer? Are you happy, major differences?

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i had the og transformer, the prime is better in almost every way (save for gps performance)

it's lighter, thinner, faster, feels better in hand, better cameras, better screen.

basically, if you don't want to wait until the middle of next year for some (most likely expensive) 1080p tablets, or the ipad3, the prime is the best tablet on the market right now, unless you really need proper gps.

so ya, i'm happy and i don't even have the dock yet. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Go for it. You'll be the coolest kid on the block w/ it! lol.

I'm in the same boat but i didnt have many probs watching videos on the TF101. i used BSplayer.

i have no need for the GPS either as funnily enough, i also have the SGS2 for sat nav in the car :)

There is also no service bug, connection drops and you have to kill the dailler or reboot, i still had it in new release but there is a fix for this - although again and very annoying they cannot be bothered to fix this properly, this should be priority number one.

[B]E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] [/B]

This error message occurs after I've wiped Dalvic Cache. The phone still performs as normal without any issues. But I'd like to get rid of this error if i can.

Can anyone help with this or has anyone had or seen it before?
[HTC Desire S] :
Try re-formatting the sd-ext partition using 4EXT recovery. Failing that, backup your entire SD card contents and re-format the whole thing, then copy your files back. I had a 512MB EXT3 partition on my card for ages from my old Desire days and A2SD+ ROMs. Never got your message but that's what I would try.
[HTC Desire S] MarlX:
Isn't that SD partition? I also have that (when flashing, or doing backup) and I thought it was normal coz I don't have partition of my SD.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Thanks for your answers guys.

@wnp_79 I always format my sd card when i flash a new rom.

@MarlIX I'll try formatting again and making a partition using the whole sd card size to see if it solves it.
[HTC Desire S] coolawy:
I guess that it depends on situation in which you're extending main partition with SD card (as HTC Desire users have to do in order to install ROM which doesn't fit on internal memory). In normal cases you'll have such warning because you don't have extended partition on SD (But someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
ah ok so i shouldnt worry about it then really unless the rom i want to flash requires extended partition?

I can make a partition on Revolutionary i get these options 128m,256m,512m etc etc and then i brings up a menu saying swap size 0m,32m,64m,128m or 256m.

Any guesses on the best way to set my card up?
[HTC Desire S] :
If you are not using it then use either choose the smallest size, our use 4ext recovery to remove it.

Whenever i did it, a 0MB swap was just fine.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
I see an option to remove all partitions and start from scratch so next time i flash i'll select that and maybe that will sort it out.

Hi guys,

Does anybody know of any app that let me edit/highlight within a PDF file?

Know there's one for the iPhone, but so far I haven't found any for Android...

In advance; thanx! :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DEI11X:
I'm using ezPDF for that exact functionality (highlighting, annotating, etc) and find it perfect. An alternative is Repligo, but I find ezPDF much faster...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Isilmalith:
ezPDF is pretty good. It's very fast, but the Interface is poorly designed and I miss several features. I haven't figured out yet how to save preferences of different pens, if thats even possible.

RepliGoReader is another one. It's more expensive than ezPDF, has a better interface but is slower in rendering the files. Also, ezPDF gets updates pretty frequently (about twice a month) whereas RepliGo doesn't seem to.

Foxit Reader can also annotate afaik, but I couldn't get it to work on my ICS Rom ;)

Check what apps you've installed since the change. Are you rooted and have you granted any apps Superuser permissions?

Solution for rooted user but please help for non-rooted

To start off I do not have my phone rooted, although I am thinking about it lol.

My ringtones and notifications changed every time I restart my phone. What I have tried is to change the ringtones and notifications folder location. It basically started right after I received the T-Mobile update software number 1.50.531.1

sdcard(root)/notifications

sdcard(root)/ringtones

and

sdcard(root)/media/audio/notifications

sdcard(root)/media/audio/ringtones

all the above methods work in the sense that the phone recognized the ringtones but every time I restart the phone it changes the ringtone and notification back to defaults.

I have searched for a solution the closest thing I have found was located here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413

The conclusion is to gain root access and move the ringtones and notification to the phone's internal system folder. Since I do not want to root my phone, is there a method to gain permission to move files to the system folder?

I really want to solve this problem so please let me know if there is a solution

Thanks from a noob

I fixed my issue by clearing the cache. I downloaded app called "app cache cleaner" than I cleared the rosie cache and boom it works woot

Anyone got an answer?

Is there an easy way to move ringtones/notification sounds to the phone memory without rooting?
