So since the developers of the official Hotmail app haven't gotten around to making it officially compatible with ICS, I was wondering if anyone might have a Froyo or Gingerbread handset lying around that could download the Hotmail app and post the APK? It works on ICS; I have an older version. I'd just like to get the updated version.

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

I'd say that makes it a definite 'no' on the 4g...

Any fix for this?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pedrojoper:
Hi guys! First post here, I've been watching the development forum (for new ROMs, etc) and can't post there yet, so took a while before posting something myself. ;)

Long story short, I've installed a wet screen protector (extremeguard) and was careful not to use too much water, in fact I used a lot less than the manufacturer used in its video tutorial. I turned the phone back on (against the recommendations) because I can't live without it for a minute ;) and the right side of the touch screen was unresponsive, it just didn't recognized any touch input. Since there was a small bubble in the middle of the screen I just thought it was causing it to be unresponsive. After a while (2h, maybe) I couldn't wait for it to start working any more and removed the protector. It's still not working! It's been 4 hours, the phone have been without the battery and back cover for most of that time, Ive even placed it on top of a heater (low setting) and later in a pack of rice and it still doesn't work!

The manufacturer says I shoudn't use the phone for about 24h, even though after 8h it shoud be fine. So this product is really supposed to make your phone stop working due to water damage and recover when it dries?! How f*ucked up is that?!

I've searched the forums and other people are having the same problem, although most of the time it starts working perfectly after a few hours again.

I can't recommend a wet aplication screen protector to anyone, anything that causes your phone to stop working, even if temporarily, is a bad idea!

UPDATE: After 12 hours, and lots of blowing it with the hairdryer, it's still not working. And since today is the 15th day since I bought the phone, and the last one to return it and ask for a replacement, that's exactly what I'll do!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
I have used this procedure 3 times on two u8800's. Both are still working. I applyed water with my fingers on the screen away from the edges and slided the protector on. Almost no bubbles were created.

I suggest you act dumb and take it to the warranty. They replaced myne, that I bricked with wrong ROM in 9 days....it was a long period, so I completely understand you, that you cant live without it for even a minute.

I carry my netbook all the time with me, incase the battery gets low, I can recharge it. I need to buy extra batteries aswell :).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] oxyg3n89:

Xloud removal

The problem is xloud engine because of it any audio enhancer wont work in creeds v2.1.But u can remove xloud engine.

Before doing this do a backup of your files I'm not responsible if any thing goes wrong.

1.Use any root explorer and mount system as writable.

2.Go to system/app delete audioeffectservice.apk.

3.Go to system/lib/soundfx delete libxloudwrapper.so

4.Go to system/lib and replace libaudioeffect_ini.so file with one i attached(first unzip it them replace with libaudioeffect_ini.so)

5.Go to system and open build.prop with text editor and delete the lines under Xloud engine(4 lines till bravia engine) then save it and do a full reboot.

now Xloud engine should be removed and all audio enhancers should work.

I have already tested it on my Sgy.

Just press thanks if it works for you. :p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w00tz:
Hello,

I am currently running GINGERBREAD.BVKL1, 2.6.35.7-I9100BVKL1-CL774645 and want to reflash kernel using CF-ROOT.

I am reading Chainfire's thread, and at this post I can find the closest match to my kernel being CF-Root-SGS2_XW_INU_KL1-v5.0-CWM5.zip.

Chainfire also mentions: KL1 (GB): Untested

I'm wondering if this is still the case, considering that this was posted on the 30th of May 2011.

So anyone out there running CF-ROOT KL1?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerberus1405:
Yup, I was asking myself the same question because I used Kies to update to 2.6.35.7 BVKL1 and lost root. Obviously zergrush failed and i checked for insecure or rooted kernels. However I don't think the KL1 (GB) has anything to do with this version.

Any help would be apreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Ive been using the XW_INU_KL1 kernel in my phone for a while now with no problems at all.The kernel is now well and trully tested and is even included in my ROM.If it wasnt fully tested the dev wouldnt have put it in there so its perfectly safe to flash.As far as if its the correct kernel or not you only have to read the thread by Chainfire.As with any kernel the most important part are the last 3 digits.If your kernel ends in KL1 then its the correct one to use.

EDIT:Just thought Id let you know that my root kernel (XWKL1) is also 2.6.35.7 so the fact that you have "BV" doesnt matter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w00tz:
Great, thanks for the info! Will be reflashing today.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerberus1405:
First, Thanks again cooza.

w00tz, for your info,

I have flashed XW_INU_KL1 kernel via Odin (because I didn't have CWM Manager) and installed superuser and busybox thus gaining root.

Then reflashed "original" 2.6.35.7-I9100BVKL1-CL774645 from intratech:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=bvkl1

Now running "official" kernel with root. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w00tz:
Thanks for sharing! Just reflashed minutes ago using XW_INU_KL1 also via Odin, gained root without problems and then unlocked my carrier block via Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock. Everything went smoothly.

I'm downloading now the 'original' stuff, it's good to have.

Is there any certain reason to reflash the 'original'? Besides getting rid of the yellow triangle. I'm guessing that KIES upgrades will also work with XW_INU_KL1. And I'm under the impression that my phone is a little bit faster with this kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Good to see everything went well:).Downloading the original stuff is just personal choice.You can flash any firmware you want,test it,change it,flash carrier branded and non carrier branded firmwares until you find what you like as each different firmware has a different modem.Good idea to get rid of the triangle if you dont have a usb jig just in case you want to send it away.Your new original F/W will have the modem being used in your area for best speed and conectivity so if you can be rooted on that F/W then better still.Kies will still work but the updates will only work on your BV rooted version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w00tz:
Roger that. Thank you again, much appreciate it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w00tz:
Just a little revive.

Because it has been reported to me that sometimes I cannot be heard by the other person while talking, I have decided to also flash the original kernel from intratech. From what I understand, Firmware and Kernel should have matching versions.

I wanted to ask you if:

1. you reflashed from CWM or via Download mode?

2. do you still have CWM after reflashing this stock kernel?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w00tz:
Friendly bump. I tried to contact cerberus1405 but haven't had success.

So if anybody else can answer my questions. It doesn't matter if it's about KL1 kernel or another one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I guess you didn't manage to search in the past week then? Kernel is unlikely to have any impact on call quality, only modem.

1). If you want to flash a stock kernel, you can do it several ways and there's no difference in outcome.

2). No, if you flash a stock kernel, you will lose CWM recovery.

If those are not the questions you wanted asking then you'll have to be more specific.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITRC:
What's your question, more specified?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerberus1405:
sorry, didn't log in lately. I flashed via Download mode.

usualy CWM works with CF-Root kernels. In my case CWM detected that I was running a different kernel and warned me about some features disabled. The app appears functional but haven't tried it yet.

I have kept these links http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399, try to find a matching kernel there.

This method incremented the flash counter to 1 (and when I boot the phone I get the warning triangle), but I don't quite really care anymore about it.

It's been a while since I flashed and I can say that it is stable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlc76:
Hi everyone,

I have the following issue: when I am copying files/directories from my GNex to a PC or viceversa, the timestamps of the copied files are changed to <sysdate> (e.g. the actual timestamp at the moment of the transfer). This is a bug because the timestamp of a file should only be changed when the content of the file is modified. Copy/move operations should NOT alter the file timestamp.

I usually sort my multimedia collection by the date/time attribute, allowing me to reconstruct the actual timeline for all the photos/movies that I've made in time using different phone models.

The only workaround that I've found so far is to use the "adb push <dir> /mnt/sdcard/<dir>" command. This command does not alter the file timestamps, but the transfer rate is significantly lower than the MTP transfer rate. There is also an advantage for using this command: it works much faster when dealing with cascaded multiple small file transfers.

If you know any alternative method for copying files over the MTP protocol while preserving the original timestamps, please share it.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
That's not quite true; on linux a copy operation will modify the timestamp by default (it has an option to disable this), a move operation will not modify the timestamp.

Whether to modify the timestamp or not is really a function of the program/protocol you are using to copy the file, it's not likely to be a bug in android.

AFAIK, MTP will always modify the timestamp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlc76:
You're right, on linux there is a "cp -p" option to preserve the file attributes (and also the timestamp), but IMHO a similar option should have been implemented also in the MTP protocol in the form of a client application that would allow the user to choose whether to preserve the timestamp or not when copying files over MTP.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RobFisher:
rename files

I'm kind of shocked that it's 2012 and my phone has its time synced to atomic clocks in orbiting satellites and takes 1080P video but the totality of human civilisation has not yet raised to the level of telling me when I took the video.

My HTC Desire would name the files after the time they were taken, but the ASUS Padfone does not (it calls them VID0001.mp4 and so on). But a good enough workaround for me would be to automatically rename the files.

A slick Android app would be best, but I have not found one. So since I know Python I am thinking SL4A's Python which I already have installed and a quick script.

Here is how to get the file timestamps in Python (reconstruct the URLs yourself because I am a noob so apparently need to be hindered in my attempts to provide useful notes):

stackoverflow.com /a/1526089

Here is how to rename files:

stackoverflow.com /questions/2759067/rename-files-in-python

Here is how to list the files in a directory:

stackoverflow.com /questions/120656/directory-listing-in-python

If I finish the script before finding a better solution I'll post it here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss2:
I transfer pictures and video all the time using MTP (on Windows 7 64 bit) and the time stamps of the files on my computer match perfectly the time stamp of the original files.

I don't think I ever played with any settings to get it to do this either - it just did it like this, and I thought that it was the default behavior (and it makes sense to keep the original time stamp). so it is possible to copy files via MTP and not change the time stamp. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RobFisher:
SL4A Python script renames files to have dates

It's possible this is a Linux/Mac problem only. My particular problem is with a Mac and we have to use a special program to transfer files; it's like something out of the dark ages.

Anyway, here is my script. Take care and comment out the actual rename and test it; the logic in there is specific to the Padfone's video naming scheme like VID000012.mp4 -- Galaxy Nexus may be different. Also you need to force a media rescan after this so the gallery notices the new filenames, which I do using Tasker's media / Scan Card action. I tried doing a sendBroadcast ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED with sl4a but couldn't get it to work.

You end up with files named like VID000012_2012_0817_132059.mp4 which is good enough for my purposes.

import os
import datetime

video_path = '/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/'

filenames = os.listdir(video_path)

# Padfone names videos like VID000012.mp4 so we look for all
# .mp4 files and exclude files we have already renamed because
# renaming makes the filename longer
for filename in filenames:
if len(filename) == 13 and filename[-4:] == '.mp4':
filepath = os.path.join(video_path, filename)
creation_time = os.path.getmtime(filepath)
creation_time_dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(creation_time)
creation_time_string = creation_time_dt.strftime('_%Y_%m%d_%H%M%S')
new_name = filename[:9] + creation_time_string + '.mp4'
print 'Renaming ' + filename + ' to ' + new_name
new_path = os.path.join(video_path, new_name)
os.rename(filepath, new_path)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
the problem is....

when you put your files into Galaxy Nexus,

the timestamp will change into today's date.

while phone to pc is fine, no timestamp problem.

the real problem is when you transfer from pc to the phone.

my gallery pictures are now messed up, because this damn problem.

i tried both on stock ics, stock jb, cyanogenmod 10, it all the same.

i came from another device, and want to put my pictures on Galaxy Nexus.

and now it's not well arranged by date :confused:

come on google, it is sucks.. :(

where do we should report this bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss2:
you are correct, copying files from a computer to the phone, via MTP, does change the date. but the original poster in this thread only asked about copying files from the phone TO a computer, so my original post was relevant to that topic. While I understand your issue, I almost never copy anything back onto my phone, so it's not a big concern for me.

Out of curiosity, I just used adb push to copy a file from my computer to my phone. it was a photo taken on October 9, 2004 (long before the GNEX was available :laugh: ). And using adb to copy the file instead of MTP, it kept the original date. check out the screenshot of Root Explorer (with thumb-nails edited for privacy).

So while MTP might alter file time/date stamps, clearly, adb does not. So if you've got a lot of files to copy from your PC to your phone, and the time stamp is important, just go ahead and adb push them to your phone.

Just one tip for those who got wrong timestamps after copy to phone.

Use Quickpic app from playstore it has a built in option to correct timestamp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Buy a Galaxy S2. It has dedicated partition for internal sdcard, so allows you to use Mass Storage Mode, which is not the case for newer devices (S3 and up).

Another possible option (not tested), is to transfer files via FTP.
