I was in the same boat until a few minutes ago.

For me the trick was plugging to USB cable into the back ports of my desktop PC. I had tried different ports in my laptop, the front ports of my desktop, and the battery-in-battery-out thing. I also did break down and get a cable from Radio Shack. I thought I could cheat with a powered USB hub.

Now I am back to stock EC05 Froyo. Only trick is finding a place to download an EI22 or EL30 rom now that all the mega-upload sites have been taken down.

Many thanks for all the suggestions. I almost bought an Epic Touch -- which I really don't want.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrEpic:
I dread the day i upgrade too...im thinking touch or the nexus that sprint is getting in march i heard. The funny thing is after i unbricked my phone..i manually upgraded to el30..rooted my phone..and stopped..im actually enjoying the stock experience lol..i guess since i havent played with it in over a year...the battery life and signal is actually pretty good..i went 13 hours with 82 percent left...impressive.

Hey guys,

I have a Galaxy W since yesterday,before I had a htc Desire with htc sense....

There was a facebook contact picture sync,i want to do this now again,so I downloadet syncmypic from market but when I try to use it, there comes the error,that contacts are read only...

Does someone knows an other app for this (to link or just download facebook profile pictures) or a programm for Windows like this one for mac OS :

http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/29746/addressbooksync

Thanks in Advance

Julian
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kingnba6:
the facebook sync doesnt actually "add" any real contacts but simply makes them look like they have been added. but will get deleted once you "un sync"
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] JuLiian:
I Don't really understand what you mean...better don't know how it is connected with my qestion. :P

I just need the contact picture of my friends nothong more ; not birthdays or anything like this,just the picture and manually it is too much to download each. (;

You know what I mean ?

Ahh,thanks anyway for your fast awnser.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] robin0800:
I think but am not sure but if your contacts are on the sim card then you can not add pictures to them. Copy them to the phone or use your google account instead.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] JuLiian:
They are saved on the phone :S
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
There are 2 ways I know you can achieve this:

1) Use Samsung Social Hub, add your FB account and it will give you options to link each of your contacts to a their FB account, this will sync their photos and status updates into your contacts.

2) Use the official FB app, and check the Sync Contacts option. I havent tried it personally but should work similar to Social Hub
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] JuLiian:
I tried it with Social Hub it does link my contacts but doesn't sync their photos :S

And with the Facebook app the same :/

It is no longer supported for our devices officially on the market, but i installed it from the amazon app-store (it was free that day), and have no issues running it. The game might not run on stock ROMS. So, if you want to enjoy the original game, run a custom ROM, which also has other advantages.

I am running Oxygen ROM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] runner1717:
Went to install a backup made with CWM today. This is the first time I've done a restore on this phone. Went to restore and am getting an MD5 mismatch on all 3 of my backups!

I have not moved the files or changed their names. They are right where CWM put them.

I've had trouble with the newer versions of CWM in the past that use the TAR files instead of an image file.

I deleted the MD5 file and through terminal did a md5sum *.* > nandroid.md5 to create a new MD5 file but it doesn't work. Is the *.* a proper way to wildcard all files in the directory under linux? Is this the correct way to do it or is it just one of the files I should be doing the MD5 for?

Thanks for the help!

Mike
[Motorola Droid RAZR] runner1717:
Can't believe no one has an answer for this.

I did answer my question about the proper syntax for the MD5, it's: md5sum * > nandroid.md5 in case anyone wants to know.

I did finally get my phone to restore. I removed the RAZR bootstrap and reinstalled it and bang, it installed just fine.

Dummy me, I was trying to root the KG3 (2.3.3) firmware and made a mistake and messed up my phone. Now it just hangs on the startup animation. I can still get into download mode, so my question is, how do I get it back up and running.

You know your phone is pretty much an I9000 with an m on the end. If you want to use the latest JVU then go for it. It's as simple as using only the jvu pda file and using the 2.3.3 ugkg3 phone and csc files... Flash same way in odin. Then flash chainfire to get root.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven676:
IPv6 works fine for me with the stock Nexus S IML74K firmware, both with the special beta APN and the standard epc.tmobile.com APN (which is IPv6-enabled in the Bay Area). I did some reading on the topic last night for a friend, and it does look like you need support from the cellular radio for IPv6 to work correctly (for Android, I assume that means both baseband and RIL).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
Apart from just doing it, what are the advantages of doing it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elgato99:
Fair question.

To people with mobile phones, the benefits are real public IPv6 addresses that allow for the bidirection flow of traffic. Read -- inbound connections... can have a web server or ssh server on your phone... A phone now becomes a real node on the real Internet, not a "mobile web" experience. Actually, each mobile phone is assigned 2^64 IPv6 addresses... that is a codified standard (yes, there are a lot of IPv6 addresses, no i dont think this a bright, but it is not actually a problem). There is no NAT from IPv6 to IPv6 addresses. But, other than that, not a whole lot is different from a user perspective. One can wax poetic about re-establishment of the internet's end to end principle, or how IPv6 is going to help battery life... but it gets kinda hand wavy. This is why IPv6 has been around for 10+ years without much traction.

The real benefit i see is to the mobile network providers, or Internet in general. Mobile devices are growing at a very high rate and there is just not enough IPv4 addresses to go around. Internet wide, IPv4 is pretty much exhausted.

I thought this article had some interesting pointers http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/01/13/2348206/ipv6-only-is-becoming-viable

And, Facebook, Google, Bing, Yahoo ... are all turning on IPv6 for good in June. On the Internet, IPv6 is a pretty big deal in terms of how data flows through the tubes.... But, ideally, plane old joes dont have to care about IPv6. It should just work.

Here is some info on the World IPv6 launch day http://www.worldipv6launch.org/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
Thanks. I noticed on the site they say P2P services like Skype won't work with IPv6 and there's obviously going to be some compatibility issues. I'm excited to try it out but at the same time I don't want to break apps or functionality. Guessing by this fall people will adopting it more and there'll be less breaks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elgato99:
Right, some technologies are going to evolve quicker than others. The slashdot article had a link to a list of apps that work and dont work, i think it said 85% work fine... but a few fail. In any event, for this beta, switching between the IPv4 APN and the IPv6 APN is pretty easy (3 taps). I think one of the goals is to create an early adopter critical mass to find the broken things, complain, and get them fixed.

Here is another interesting link about getting the apps cleaned up http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nsp/ipv6/32908

And, if you really want to go deep, there is this code which fixes the broken apps by doing translation on the phone from IPv4 to IPv6

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
Which APN are you using? The website lists one and the email I got from T-Mobile listed a slightly different one?

I tried it again and it worked this time with the blue bars and sync using the scpcf000 APN. Wonder why it didn't work before? Wonder if different towers/regions have issues because I was travelling when it wasn't working. Who knows.

I would keep it but no MMS is a bummer - if there were some practical advantage to using IPV6 right now I'd stick with it but there doesn't seem to be. Yet.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven676:
Yeah, no Internet connection on my laptop when I try to tether either. It looks like Android's tethering infrastructure isn't IPv6-aware yet -- the laptop isn't picking up an IPv6 address, and the phone doesn't have an IPv4 address, so it's not capable of routing IPv4 traffic to the Internet.

That said, even if Android were to grow IPv6-aware tethering, providing Internet access is going to be a problem. I can see four possible approaches:

(1) The phone assigns IPv4 addresses to tethered devices (as it does now), and implements NAT46 to translate that traffic into IPv6 traffic to send upstream. I don't know of any NAT46 implementations, though, never mind any ones suitable for a phone.

(2) The phone assigns IPv6 unique local addresses to tethered devices, and implements NAT66 to push that traffic upstream. (Basically, this is like the current tethering setup, except with IPv6 everywhere instead of IPv4.) Highly experimental NAT66 standards and implementations exist, but their very existence seems to be controversial (one of the original ideas behind IPv6 was to have enough address space to not have to use NAT in the first place).

(3) The cell provider assigns a /64 or larger block of globally-routable IPv6 addresses to the phone, and the phone assigns those addresses to tethered devices. (This is the approach fixed-line broadband providers are taking.) As far as I know, though, there isn't a standardized way to hand out prefixes (other than DHCPv6, which people don't seem to like either), and of course, this requires carrier involvement, with implications for everyone who wants to tether without a carrier-approved tethering plan.

(4) The cell provider assigns an IPv4 address (public or private) to the phone, and tethered clients use the existing IPv4 tethering infrastructure. This requires no changes on our end (it'd work right now on carriers that provide dual-stack access), but T-Mobile has apparently decided to assign IPv6 addresses only and use NAT64/DNS64 to provide access to the IPv4 Internet, so this won't work for us.

I found this article to be well written and informative for IPv6 on ICS http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ere-is-what-it-all-means-and-yes-no-more-nat/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elgato99:
http://dan.drown.org/android/clat/

I tried this code out. It is pretty cool since it allows some additional functionality by doing a NAT from IPv4 to IPv6 locally on the phone. Skype and a few other apps that require IPv4 now work while they did not work before.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrown:
The t-mobile already assigns a /64 and it can be used for tethering. I have a simple shell script to go along with clat (464xlat's name for nat46 on the phone) that sets up ipv4+ipv6 tethering and radvd. It should be possible to modify the existing tethering code to do this work and give it an easy to use interface.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven676:
Really? I've never gotten more than a point to point (/128). I'm on the SF Bay epc.tmobile.com APN, though I don't remember things being any different on the beta APN (where my access seems to have disappeared for the moment). Are they handing out prefixes separately, and if so, is there a way to discover what prefix is being handed out?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrown:
The /128 on the phone network interface is inside a /64 routed to your phone.
