anyone pls?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] magorgoth:
Hi Mate,

I think most of us have this problem because these phones are not standalone GPS equipmens. They need to download the agps aiding data (LTA and XTRA) to have a faster lock. I managed to get a lock without data connection but only if i downloaded LTA and XTRA not long before it. This data is not much( you will not have huge bills because of this), i think you can enable your data connection of some sort, before you start to navigate somewhere. At least that is what i do.

Hi there! I tried posting in the dev section, but it seems that I haven't posted 10 times in other sections yet. So, here goes: I've got an issue with market. I get a "not compatible with your device" message, when I try to download NFS Shift, witch I bought a few weeks ago. I've been trying out a few different roms lately, MIUI, Temasek's cm kang, and some stock based, but this never happened before. Always been able to download and play it, even with my ZTE Blade. I have tried googling it, but only found some guides for other devices. Great rom by the way, I've been waiting for something like it since I bought the phone.

/Andreas, Sweden

Edit: After clearing Android Market data, everything works as it should.

My phone doesn't like the Odin packages, but never had issues with Heimdall's. What I usually end up doing if I get the bootloops is pull the battery during a bootloop, put it back in, power up and hope to see the exclamation-comp screen. Heimdall always picks up my phone from there

I really dont understand if there is some internal conflict within samsung as to what devices they would launch? WTF is the point of this phone?? :confused:

It's only going to cause more competition between samsung's own devices, if they think superamoled is so important they shouldnt have released the galaxy R in the first place.

Now because of the "galaxy S" name it's probably going to sell alot more than galaxy R and will end being a better phone I think.

And I actually love superamoled even the pentile one but I still think the timing of this phone is just wrong, they should have instead marketed the galaxy R which has perfect hardware with beautiful LCD and only needs more dev support to be a better phone.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
Its closer to S plus than to the R, only four inch and prob not having one gig of ram so this is NOT an R2 imo, R is a royal class and the next R	Should b an r2 not an S, s class.

Anyway this would make angry to the s users if they updTe to ics and not their s,
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Gambler_3:
It has mali-400 MP GPU, I really really doubt it will have 512MB RAM.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js_tKyE0nzU&feature=related

The screen might be a bit smaller but it's superamoled.

This phone is on a completely different level than the original galaxy S and S plus.

I am absolutely not saying this is a much better phone than the R, it's about on the same level so I am not saying it's R2. What I am saying is that it's going to further cannibalize the already average sales of the galaxy R.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
Anyone with the budget of this range will definitely go for the Galaxy R. It's meaner and sexier.

Moreover, by the time this device hits a price drop, gets into the hands of many and finds a home in xda, our device will be well off. We'll have plenty of Dev support. People will still want a Galaxy R.

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

People who knew about phones never bought Galaxy S plus. This device probably just brings in more fragmentation. The Galaxy S is still a good device. You'll never have shortage of dev support or desserts from android as long as you are in xda.

And talking about our device, there's nothing to worry about until a few months passes after the release of Samsung Galaxy S III. Untill then we are boasting around one of the most powerful devices. (Ours' is not the most powerful phone but comparable to the top of the range devices. Benchmarks may speak differently, but for all practical purposes, the performance is more or less the same)

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

Our device is moderately future proof too. But once the Cortex A-15 based chipsets make their way into smartphones, the scene will differ.

The Exynos 5250 (32nm architecture with Mali-T604) and other chipsets sporting PowerVR Series6 GPU has multiple times the power of current gen chips.(2x processing power and 5x graphics processing power and much better power efficiency).

But these wont bother us probably until 2013. All you Galaxy R owners, you have made one if the best choices as of now in deciding to choose this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Interesting post dh33r4j!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
dh33r4j +1

Gambler_3 I do really doubt it about 512RAM , if samsung denied ICS to S1 with 512 they need a need argument in terms of ram, could be 768mb or i dont know maybe 1GB in this case S advance would be closer to R, but also to the flagship S2... i dont see that happening.... What would be the point having S2 1gb ram dual core and a S1 adv with 1gb ram dual core? ...

S advance is much better than S plus but still worse than R, the amoled screen is not better than our SLCD they are diferent, ask S2 owners about greenish screens (very common in S2) and Tegra2 is inside in a big variety of devices like LG, tablets... so I think like dh33r4j , our chip is more future proof in terms of supporting games of course all this is only my hummble opinion and I can be so wrong.

BTW, the tiers of samsung are, Y, M , W, R and S. so i expect they follow that scale and the next R , is the R2 something like i-9xx3 , in other words a S3 downgraded like R is for the S2 and de SCL (is for S)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Gambler_3:
It's samsung, many things they do dont make sense.

I prefer superamoled but ya the display of R is also very good. I also prefer 4" over 4.2" as I find the S2 and galaxy R to be a bit too big so thats another possible reason for this phone to provide a more portable dual core phone.

I was thinking of getting the R, I am not quite sure now.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
hahha completely agree with you, "its samsung" no more words to add LOL.

I think that i'll change brand for the next android.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
What's the alternative? Motorola and HTC with locked bootloaders? Trust me HTC technical support is much worse than Sammy's. They can really act ridiculous sometimes.

Actually....I'm pretty much satisfied with Samsung both with HW and SF. (HTC devices are not that reliable as sammies in terms of both FW and HW nowadays) The only thing tat pisses me off is marketing (lack of support for some devices...ours ;) ?) and the update policy. While in Southeast Asia people has been enjoying android 2.3.6 since november...we still "enjoy" android 2.3.4 in Sweden..WTF?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
yeah, you never know when they will update in each country, if they ever do LOL.

Still dont know which brand will I go for, I have time to look the behaviour of the market's brands. maybe a nexus
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Nexus is a good choice. Samsung's HW + google FW which means the freshest updates!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/01/30/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-advance/

these are de specs its 768MB ram

so, 1ghz dual core 758MB ram 4" clearly not that good as de R.

Very wise movement of samsung they include +256mb ram extra so they can include ICS ( not confirmed yet thou) so S1 users cant complain... and if you want an S with ICS get this new S adv good job Samy!

R tegra2 dual core 1ghz 1GB 4.19" 21Mbps

S advance :dual core 1ghz 768MB 4" 14.4 Mbps

so R is better imo and ICS will take advance of our 1gb or ram for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Gambler_3:
Well mali is more powerful GPU isnt it? But it isnt that well supported so I would still take geforce ULP over it.

It is probably going to be pentile display so the superamoled is not very big advantage as you get lower resolution. But in all honestly I would still rather have galaxy S display than R display and it seems like the display of the advance will be identical to the original S.

One detail missing is if it will have gorilla glass which I strongly presume it will which levels the playing field somewhat in my opinion.

Many people are reporting samsung has stopped manufacturing the R which would really be an unfortunate thing, I dont think they already produced buck loads of it so we cant expect many devs to have the R.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Gambler_3:
Well according to gsmarena it does have gorilla glass. There have been alot of reports of the galaxy R screen being not very scratch resistant so thats a real advantage I think.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
Ive seen SGS scratched and it includes gorilla.... I'm happy with R's screen , it travells always in a pouch and happy, in regard of GPU maybe mali is better dont know, but in terms of tegra games compatibility for this 2012 I think our Nvidia would stand better chances to play more games without any plug-ins at all.

SLCD is great IMO, and about discontinuity issue, dont have info here in spain but, anyway I dont like to flash alot, all I want is a bug free ICS ASAP, I think is all I expect in exchange for what I paid for, If I were interested 100% in scene I would have gone for the S2 instead, so I dont mind the R not beeing a flagship all i want as i said is to get a decent bugfree ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Gambler_3:
And another definite plus for the galaxy R is the half aluminum back, it's so nice to touch and doesnt add too much heft to the phone unlike HTC phones which go completely overboard on metal and it ends up being a brick.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] geekovary:
I have been looking for Galaxy R from a week now. It is not available on Flupkart,Letsbuy,Sulekha, Ebay.in, and even at websites like Indiaplaza.

Went into a Samsung flagship sotore, they said it is not available now, went to India's leading mobile store chain, Mobile Store, they said, it is not available, we havnt got a piece from Samsung!

What now?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HaloTwenty3:
Hello everyone,

I have a Desire Z on T-Mobile UK that I have had for nearly a year. I have recently been looking into all the different ROMs and customizations, particularly something to clear off apps that are built into the phone and lowering the CPU usage.

This is my first Android phone and after looking at some of the rooting guides I find myself completely lost on what to do. So I guess what I am asking is what is the EASIEST, SIMPLEST method of rooting the phone, without using any kind of one click app that will brick my phone.

By the way I am playing the 'damsel in distress' card so be nice to me :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
Check out the second sticky in this forum. Afaik there is no "easy" method to root the DZ. Now that HTC has unlocked the bootloader, probably the easiest way would be to unlock via htcdev.com and afterwards to gain root via a one click tool. I think they are available for DZ as well, just look them up

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I'd stay away from HTCDEV unlocking methods.

Instead, you should go ahead and ask at the Q&A subforum. You are going to receive a lot more help than what you're going to get here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Yeah there is no real easy method, if its something you want to do then the number one priority thing to do is 'read' and read some more, you need to familarise yourself with expressions and terms which you dont know, you need to understand the difference between s-off s-on and unlocking, read the stickies in this thread, not just once but a few times. the steps are simple, its a case of knowing what youre doing and if you have read the stickes then you should have a general idea what to do..

yes this doesnt answer your question but i cant root youre phone for you, i can only give advice (:

Wrong section. You were supposed to post OP in General Questions Section.

Go to here, this is the best rooting program ever (sets S-OFF, root, sim-unlock, etc.). But, if you're on Gingerbread, you need downgrade your device's OS. Also, don't flash ENG HBOOT through it until you're pretty sure what you're doing. :)

I've tried several. The problem is in configuration. I eventually settled for the stock 2.6 android_4430BN_defconfig. It seems to function best for this until we have a proper 3.0 kernel.

Thanks Adam very nice work. Question what if we want to revert to 1.4.0 or 1.4.0 is it possible or we will be stick it lol. Can this be supported for dual/multi boot?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShadowReaperGR:
Very good work Adam.

I have one trivial question... Why on all your projects do you use Ubuntu and not any other distro?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Thats what this does. It reverts you to 1.4.0. It uses Ubuntu as a dedicated recovery. If you would like to dual boot, just remove the /root/recovery file. You can boot Ubuntu or normal by inserting and removing the sdcard. But like i said, the touchscreen is wonkey and there's no way to fix most of the problems without a 3.0 kernel.

I use Ubuntu on my desktop. I like Ubuntu because it has a large user base and if i come across a problem, it is easier to correct or has generally at least been discussed. For a mobile device, it makes more sense than other Linux distributions because newer versions have been optimized for touchscreens. In general, i find Ubuntu supports more things than other Linux distributions.

Hi Adam,

When you say the screen is wonky what do you mean? Is it sort of 90degrees out like our original CM7 build was?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Yes. Also, none of the native tools to correct this work because of lack of proc and sys support.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Such a shame, I quite fancied a dual boot with android/ ubuntu :(

It was a simple fix in the build.prop on CM7

Oh well hopefully somebody will come up with a suitable 3.0 for you soon :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scsione889:
If you're still interested in doing this let me know. I can find a place to host it. Who knows how many people "bricked" their NTs from the CM7 beta - this seems to be the only logical fix if ADB doesn't work in CWM (which I'm experiencing (even from the SD version of CWM)). I haven't gotten a chance to confirm if this works or not yet for that issue (I'm waiting on a new microSD -> SD adapter), but if it works this would make it a lot easier.

Bit of problem in the end of setting up the sd

Everything goes quite fine but in the end when it is supposed to automount and than to copy the files from the recovery it behaves strange. Im a windows user so i have been using linux for 10hr now. Ill post later what it says .

@scsione889 . If you have web hostin i think you should send a PM to AdamOutler because he is quite busy. Because that would help a lot a lot. In the future also if we brick it again would be easier to do it in shorter steps. Because this one takes long and is a bit complicated to.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Here is the rehosted file and new instructions. Let me know if there are any problems so I can redo the first post.

You will need:

A Class 4 SDCard with at least 4Gigs of space

Ubuntu installed on Disk, USB drive, Wubi, or CD: http://ubuntu.com/download

6 gigs of free space (for downloading sdcard image and uncompressing)

The SDCard Image: http://ge.tt/9rVFXxC?c

Instructions:

Open a terminal in Ubuntu by typing "terminal" in the search bar then hit enter

uncompress the Downloaded SDCard Image

cd ~/Downloads
tar -xvwzf ./AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash.tar.gz

type "ls" to get a file listing and locate the name of the new file. (ie AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash).

With the SDCard or reader removed from the computer, get a list of all disks

ls /dev/sd?

Insert your sdcard or usb sdcard reader, then press the up key and enter to repeat the last command. The new device will show up as sdb, sdc, sdd or sde. each new device gets a higher letter. Note this newly plugged in device.(ie. /dev/sdc)

Use the following command to make your new SDCard, where "AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash" is the name of the uncompressed file and "sdc" is the name of your SDCard device.

sudo dd if=./AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash of=/dev/sdc

Wait 5-45 minutes (depending on SDCard speed) until the image burning completes.

Shove it in your nook and turn it on. The process will take 15 minutes to complete with a Class4 micro SDcard

Pro-tip: to copy and paste easily in Ubuntu, highlight text in the browser, then press the middle mouse button on the terminal.

Pro-tip: The tab key will auto-complete filenames.

Hi,

my Nexus S is suffering from random touching the screen. This happens on only one spot - it's on the "m" location on the keyboard. It's very annoying when you try to type longer message - you get a lot of extra "m"s. I uploaded a video of the problem:

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

I tried different kernels and roms (even the stock ones), but the problem didn't go away. Internessting thing is, when the touching occurs, it is enough to turn the display off and then back on. Then it's ok for a while (5 minutes or logner...).

Does anyone know what might be wrong and how to fix it? I don't have warranty on the phone anymore, so i want to try to fix it before I have to buy a new phone.
