[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof Peach:
I'm not 100% sure I understand.

Can you boot up your phone and run a rom?

Is the phone s-off?

If so, follow the 4EXT link in my signature and install the 4ext updater app. It can be used to very simply download and install the recovery with a good and easy to use partition tool.

I assume you were trying to switch to a larger sd card.

Once you have the phone running here's what to do.

Create a nandroid backup.

Copy the Fat32 portion (incl the new nandroid) to your PC as a backup.

Insert new sdcard.

Format and partition as required using 4EXT recovery.

Toggle USB connection and copy backup data from pc back to new fat32.

Restore the nandroid backup (which will populate the ext3/ext4 Partition)

run the phone with your larger sdcard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mga010:
Sorry, I still did not have the time to translate.

No, the procedure proposed here does not work. If I partition with a tool I like, the CWM will not mount ext-sd, at least not my version of CWM. Trying to boot with the old ROM will fail in a boot loop. The problem is, that Mini Partion Wizard does not partition according to what the Desire needs. And yes, I have two primary partitions, FAT32 being the first.

I have to go to a meeting now, but will translate my problem this afternoon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mga010:
Translated. Maybe someone can help me now.

BTW, I had some fun reading the automatic translation :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Either I missed your answer or you missed my question. So here again:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mga010:
Yes, of course, I have the old card still.

But the problem has been solved using EXT4.

Thanks for all answers!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Allen K:
I posted a video showing how to increase display resolution on the Galaxy S II. I'm running at 1200 x 720 and looks great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPPuEbXwOF4

There are a issues with a few stock apps, so make sure to watch the whole thing if you can, as I demonstrate everything I've run into so far.

p.s. For rooted phones only and even though process is ultra simple, don't hold me responsible if you mess up your phone :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goonx:
doesn't the screen only support up to 480 x 800 :confused:

ah... nvm.. it becomes smaller.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Allen K:
It works the same way as it does on your computer... higher resolution means everything will be smaller, but you will see a lot more on display. It would look the same on phones that were designed with higher resolution (such as Galaxy Nexus).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Monk4Life:
Yes, its pretty much fake 1280x720. Just lower the number using lcd density app for smaller looking screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] concac858:
im loving it!!! Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Enzopreme:
the problem with this is, a lot of apps and stock apps such as the dialer, and sms, and maybe the keyboard (not sure) doesnt scale correctly, so the display looks bad, not worth the "fake" resolution, IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Allen K:
It really depends on the user... to many, fake resolution may be worth replacing every single app they use, especially if 99% of the people wouldn't be able to tell fake from a true HD display. It really does look great, so replacing a couple of apps for me was a no-brainer.

This wouldn't be that much of a big deal for any other phone that has a resolution better matched to its size, but T-mobile's (and Sprint's) SGS2 with its Herculesque proportions could really use it. :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:
Takes like 4 seconds to change it back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
There plenty of free apps to replace those though. Go Contacts is free, has some great themes, and has a dialer that scales properly. And there are multiple SMS replacement apps that are free too. The calendar doesn't scale right either, I barely use the calendar so I haven't bothered with replacing it but I'm sure there's an app for that too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iloveandroid16:
It felt very pointless, it just made everything small.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marstodd:
Can't you show how the cameras, youtube, etc. work in the higher resolution? What a drag watching people scrolling around home screen and facebook. such a waste of time. Do something useful! But thanks anyway it looks really good. Does it have 16/9 modes? show that too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
All your doing is changing the DPI on screen. The screen size is still the same.

Your essentially doing what Windows and many other operating systems has been doing for people for years.

Can't see well increase the dpi.. too big decrease the dpi.

The resolution doesn't change just the font and icons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Exactly. Like for me my native 17" display should be 1280 x 1024, but everything is so small, so I need to change it to at least 1152 x 864. Just the opposite on my phone. 800 x 480 seems a bit too big, so making things smaller helps. Actually I "tricked" my eyes to the point. I haven't changed the dpi, but instead choose a font that was 15% smaller than the default. Now everything looks smaller, and I fit much more on the screen before I have to scroll.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i have a hunch about the new 720 "HD" display of the Galaxy Nexus/Korean SGS2 HD

i'm almost certain the screen is the same screen, it's just default to higher DPI, very similar to our PCs/Laptops when Windows or Linux boots up, reads the screen model, then it automatically select X resolution for that model

so, we can basically get the same results by setting our phones to run in that configuration as well.

I'm quite sure once ICS is out, we'll know more the innards of it and Galaxy Nexus

then we can just add SGS2 into the same list of screens as the Galaxy Nexus to get the same 720p resolution
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marstodd:
What are the SamSung stock apps and how are they affected? (Keyboards, and Camera mostly, what else?)

thanks it looks great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thebaoster:
Thanks! Great stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsleeyo:
very nice....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
If some of the stock Samsung apps don't scale properly, wouldn't it be feasible to use the same apps designed for the 720p display like from the Note?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Allen K:
The only affected apps I have noticed so far: stock touchwiz launcher (home screens and app tray are at the top half of the display), smaller dialer, lower portion of calendar is covered up by a box, and music player doesn't open. Camera has not been affected at all. Market is much better. I will try to make another video showing different apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unfaix:
the only problem with this is that most applications on the market checks the screen resolutionor dpi and wont let you install.

i've tried this method before to use the qHD resolution and apps like tango in the market say "your device is not supported" and the install button is greyed out.

yet, after side loading the apk, app worked fine.

so it works but it's a little too much inconvenience when you nee to download and app quick./
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Allen K:
I can only speak for the resolution I have tried, which is 1200 x 720. Other resolutions, such as qHD, may have more issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Let's discuss the possibilities...

If you could upgrade your OLED screen to 720p Gnex screen, would you do it? What's the most you'd be willing to pay for it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
Not possible.

Honestly, if it was though, I'd pay quite a bit, since 720P Res would be AMAZING. For now, ill stick with my psuedo qHD screen (LCD Density).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
I'm in the same boat as you. I would also upgrade too. In fact, I'd do the work myself and pay for the parts.

Could this be a plug and play thing though?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
there was another exact topic floating around in this forum

we were talking about waiting for the release of SkyRocket HD 720 screen to come out, and then swap our current screen to the new 720 HD screen

as in Korea they have both versions release the phone itself is by itself identical inside except for the screen, using the newer HD 720
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Wow! I will do this in a heart beat. I'm wondering if the internals are the same and if they use the same Kernel/driver.

Essentially if this its plug and play then I see no reason to upgrade to the galaxy s3 at least for now especially if its an affordable solution.

what do you guys think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
here's some reference http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4414&idPhone2=4303

and we all know the Skyrocket i727 is identical to our T989 with the exception of the LTE radio, ROMs, HSPA+ radio, everything else works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Are the OLED screens the same size? On the site it says the sky rocket hd will be 4.65"total. I'm not sure if that means the oled part is 4.65" or 4.5" like ours
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
that's the part we'll need to wait for the actual device to be released, to be able to confirm

but if it fits in our 4.5" case then we'll be all set :D

chances are the 4.65" is correct and we wont be able to use it because it's too wide, since the Nexus Galaxy also has the same 4.65" size and same HD screen

by the time those are launched, i think SGS3 should be around the corner, i'd rather upgrade to SGS3 rather than just upgrade the screen size
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
I hear you! When does the SkyRocket HD come out?

What we need is for someone to rip both phones apart and measure everything internally.

I'd be happy if the dimensions were all the same on the frame but somehow Samsung found out how to make a larger screen fit in the same space.

That along with news of the internals being the same (i.e same conenctors/ribbons etc) would make all of our day considering the 720p screen worked :)

Hi everybody. Before buying this beautiful smartphone, i had a dell streak. On that phone, i used ram manager pro, and in my opinion it worked well. But the note has more memory and a faster processor, so, do you think is a good idea using that program on the note?

[General Questions and Answers] markp1989:
I installed a invisible shield on my sisters Xoom today, it wasn't the first install I have done, I have the invisible shield on my phone and tablet.

this was the first install I have done that didn't come out as expected, I did all the cleaning hands and screen before installation but I still managed get some kind of dirt under the screen protector, I think its was from the plastic card that Zagg gave me with the shield as all the other plastic/rubber cards I have had had smooth edges but this one had one rough edge like it didn't separate from the sheet properly during manufacture, I will attach a photo later if needed.

if I removed the shield is there any way I can clean the under side of it? Would soapy water work?

Thanks, Mark
[EVO 4G General] victorlg88:
I need to add a dedicated wifi internet to my work van. The sprint internet hotspot is too much 34.99 for only 2gb. If I add a line to my family plan for 19.99 + 10 for premium data, get a new phone, then use my old rooted evo as a dedicated wifi hotspot for unlimited 3g internet for 8 hours a day, would I get caught and have my whole family plan canceled?
[EVO 4G General] bungee91:
I'd say no, but certainly no one can give you a for sure answer.

I'd say even with 8 hours of web surfing, data usage should still be reasonable, and considering Sprint only seems to be going after the absolute offenders (gathered from what people are using (data), and not having problems) I'd assume you should be okay.

I really don't think anyone can give you a guarantee, but if I were to be a betting man, or in your same situation, I would do it.
[EVO 4G General] droiddawg:
I would say no as long as you don't go overboard. There's a huge difference between tethering to browse the web, update files and whatnot vs tethering to watch netflix, play ps3/xbox 360/Wii, etc.

However, don't take my word for it as I may be a betting man yet I still haven't won the powerball yet. :)

According to Dan Hesse, "unlimited" is truely unlimited.... Or maybe not...
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I tether alot on my secondary line and my dad does on his second line and we use an average of 200 - 250gb a month between 4 lines and sprint never says a word about it our secondary lines are our primary internet connections for work unlimited data is unlimited data and u can use a proxy to make desktop data appear as mobile only with out a lot of speed loss, we both use GPS at least 2 hrs a day 5 days a week sometimes more depending on where we drive for work

We are legion, for we are many.
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
You'll be okay as long as that seems to be your normal usage. If you only use 2gb a month for 6 months on a line and then jump to 30gb a month it will get you noticed.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
We started out kinda low but when we first got sprint we had Nokia 6xxx models with swappable face plates and over the years as the phones advanced our data increased when we got treos the data went way up and every upgrade just kept getting higher and higher til we got where we are now

We are legion, for we are many.

[EVO 4G General] KommodoreHeinz:
Ok and when was the last time you tried this? It was months ago, but I have done this.

Not saying I haven't either. I played Uncharted 3 multiplayer via tether. It was faster than my DSL connection. Then I saw the light and switched to Comcast. :) Still, it amazes some people that you can tether a phone to a game console to get your game on.

Are there any advantages/disadvantages for using a stock kernel vs a custom kernel? Thanks for the responses.

Sent from my Modded Classic Evo... It's easier this way. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Stock kernel usually does'nt clock over 998MHz and you are'nt able to over or undervolt the kernel for better battery life.Also on custom kernels there are more governor options(smartass,etc.).Custom kernels can go up to 1118MHz sometimes higher,depends on the CPU.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmacevad:
I am aware of those differences. Basically, I'm wondering why I see so many people wanting to use a stock kernel (especially the one in the new OTA) and I was wondering why. Like what are the advantages of using the stock kernel over a custom kernel? Is it more stable? Are there any other things I may not be thinking of that would make a stock kernel a better choice? Thx again!

Sent from my Modded Classic Evo... It's easier this way. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
I would think stock kernels to be smoother because they are designed for that particular rom/build,when a custom kernel is designed to run on different roms/builds,then when roms are updated or changed,the custom kernel does'nt,unless changed by the developer,hence the lag and FC's.I hope thats the answer you were looking for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naturesretard:
Custom kernels are made universal for several devices and roms. Although they yield benefits over stock, sometimes they can be unstable on certain setups. like mentioned above stock is made specifically for said device bout somewhat limited, though very stable
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmacevad:
Thanks clicked for both of you. Reason I ask is because I am running the new radios that were released with the newest OTA and wanted to know what to look for when I finally give the new kernel a try. Has anyone used the new kernel HTC released with the OTA yet? Has anyone a comparison they could share? Thanks. :D

Sometimes if your not stock thought it depends on what it says in the build.prop file. You have to change it back to the model of your phone.

Is that SUPPOSED to be 7 bytes? That seems tiny.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:

[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
My new phone is stock. I have the Rezound and it is just not on the list of compatible devices so the app is not visible in the market and can't be installed from the web either (through the market).

My guess is it is because of the higher resolution compared to most other phones and the lack of testing, but I installed the apk and it fired right up and looks great. The only downside is that I may have to do this again when it gets closer to my trip since I am assuming no updates will come through either (unless my device is added to the compatibility list by then).

Thanks again (and yes it is 7 MB not 7 bytes, so it is pretty big)
