[General Questions and Answers] Tammetje:
I have a question about games from marketplace who claim to be non- compatible with the phone i have. I have a HTC Sensation XE, and a friend of mine has a Galaxy Nexus. Like the game Frontline Commando, he is able to download it without issues, and i cant find the game, if i try the link he gave me, it says it wont work on my phone.

This friend told me its due to the better graphic chip inside the Nexus and thats the main reason he bought that phone.

But, we shared the game so i could download the apk, just to try if the understatement is true. I started the game, and everything works perfect! So its kind of a strange issue if you claim to be non compatible. It irritates me a little cause i will probably have more issues in the future downloading such games or applications. Missing out on stuff while it just works fine.

Why is that, could someone explain.
[General Questions and Answers] Waddle:
I am interested in this also. It's annoying how the international gs2 has more apps than the art gs2 when they have the exact same processer, screen resolution, graphics chip etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Masamushia:
I would imagine it would be due to the fact that they simply haven't been tested on that device. I could be wrong, though. You can read a little more on market filtering here though, along with a bunch of other app dev stuff: developer.android.com/guide/appendix/market-filters.html
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will3330:
I live in Canada and managed to get the Google Music Service via US Proxy. I've uploaded a couple of songs to test it out but I don't see the song on my Transformer :(.

Do I need to update to the latest Google Music App(an apk exists on the web)? Also, does this app overwrite the Music App already on my transformer? Or should I just wait for ICS (2 weeks...) and it will have the updated version.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surroundedbytrees:
I got G Music working by signing up via a proxy service. TO sign up it wants you in the USA, but once signed up it doesn;t care where you are located....It does have some drawbacks tho....for instance I couldn't find a way to move the storage location (ie to the MicroSD), also it renames your music from the original file name to 101.mp3, 102.mp3 etc.....much like Itunes does....I hate this feature it means that I can't simply browse the Music folder and send/copy a file off to share if i want
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudesmith:
I had the same issue, but after a few resets the app asked me to login to my Google account and my uploaded songs started showing. I didn't really need to do anything, didn't update the app. I,m on Brazil btw.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
Has anyone downgraded from CM7.2 to CM7.1? For some reason CM7.1 seems much more stable on my phone. Is downgrading as easy as upgrading?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
You need to install a stock rom, flash clockworkmod, then flash cm7.1.

But you can make a backup, wipe data cache and dalvik and flash cm7.1, without stock rom flashed..

But why would you?

I think 7.2 is better..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
Well, I tried 7.2 on my phone and it is not as stable as 7.1 for me. I am constantly having problems connecting to my home wifi network (have to enable/disable the wifi adapter a couple of times), phone restarts from time to time for no reason, unlock screen blinks one time before it t actually appears on screen and some other minor issues. Didn't have any of these issues with CM 7.1 so I think of going back to it. I'll probably go go for the wipe cache/dalvik solution in that case. Thanks for your reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Leesalman:
Did you patch CM 7.2 with patch 4? The patch fixes most of the things and the rom is the most stable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
Yes, I did. Did I need to wipe something before or after applying it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
Update: I've just tried to wipe the cache partition plus the dalvik cache and it seems that most of the problems are gone now. I would recommend doing this to anyone with the same issues as mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Leesalman:
You always have to wipe the cache/factory reset and dalvik cache before installing a new rom otherwise problems will obviously occur.

Glad that you solved the problem. If you still face some problems then wipe the cache/factory reset and the dalvik cache and flash the rom again with patch 4 and gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:
I use stock rom, better than CM7.2/7.1. No lags in games, no screen flicker, no f****n problems. Same performance and better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Stock rom with custom kernel??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:
Nope, just stock rom with root and some stock apps deleted, that's all. Maybe i will flash the kernel for stock roms, maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
What benchmark results do you get with the stock ROM (either Quadrant or Antutu)?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
Assuming you really want to downgrade to CM7.1 I think you can format /system, /data and such from CWM, then apply CM7.1 zip file. No need to install stock ROM first.

BTW I saw in CM-related instructions that when you have some problem with CM that you don't know how to fix try first doing wipe, usually that helps. It seems it helps in your case as well :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
Yeah, that's right :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:
Dude, leave the f***in benchmarks, my phone is faster in games. With CM 7.2 last time my result in quadrant was 2600, but it was bulls**t cause i had lag in games.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
Yup, I also find benchmarks are useful for bragging only. They almost never tell anything real about phone performance in a real application.

So you have to try different ROMs to find the one that would suit you.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
Well, I guess it depends on what one uses his phone for :) I don't play any games and my phone is definitely faster with CM7.2. But as JustVass said everyone has to find the one that best suits him
[Droid 2 Global General] PabloRaymondo:
Hello,

While I was looking in *#*#4636#*#*, accidentally I selected on my phone radio band to USA Band and I totally lost the signal. Because actually I am in Maroc for six months, after a long search I did a factory reset. Now I have good signal, but the big problem is that I have only 2G and I want 3G. I don`t know what can I do to get back 3G, beacuse on edge the Internet connection is slow.

Thanks !!!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
You need to flash the factory SBF image (via RSDLite or sbf_flash). There's no other way.
[Droid 2 Global General] PabloRaymondo:
Thank you very much for your prompt answer. Also I need more help because I don`t know anything about how to do this. I appreciate very much if you can put links with instructions. I mention that my system version is 2.4.330.A956, baseband version N_01.48.05R. Also if I do this I am loosing my unlock code?

Thank you very much !!!
[Droid 2 Global General] PabloRaymondo:
Or if I update my phone from system updates i will benefit back of 3g?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
You probably won't believe me, but there's a sticky thread in this forum. Right at the top of the list.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398063

You'll need 4.5.608.

As it has been stated many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times, unlock state does not change no matter how many times you reflash the phone.

No, installing an update will not fix the USA Band issue.
[Droid 2 Global General] PabloRaymondo:
Thank you very much for your answer and excuse me because I didn`t search a bit much this forum. Also I have another questions. As I saw SBF 4.5.608 is Gingerbread and I have Froyo. I am not against Gingerbread, but I don`t want to slow my Droid 2 Global. Please say may if this will make my phone working slow. Also, please say me that if I follow instructions from rootzwiki link (D2G SBF 4.5.608(GB) ) is OK.

Excuse me if I am disturbing with my questions but I am novice in this domain and I don`t want to brick my phone...my single desire is to receive back 3G and HSDPA connection.

Have a nice day !!!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
You shouldn't install Gingerbread then.

It gives the phone a huge performance boost. My phone on 4.5.608 works at least 25% faster, and lasts at least 2 times more on a single charge compared to 2.4.330.

So, naturally, you must never update to Gingerbread or you'll lose the poor battery life and the horrifying slowness of Froyo Blur.

You also should never ever follow the RootzWiki instructions. RW is the place where 99% of D2G development is performed. Everything related to ROMs, SBF images, etc. comes to XDA-Developers from RootzWiki, so naturally, if you want to stay on Froyo and never get 3G back, you must never follow any instructions posted on RootzWiki.

Only follow them if you really want to update to Gingerbread and get better battery life and overall performance.

Oh. And about searching:

You pressed the “New thread” button to start a thread.

Right under that button, the 5th line is “[COLLECTION] D2G SBF/ROOT/RSD/ROM Download & Guide Links” that I linked you to.

[Droid 2 Global General] PabloRaymondo:
Thank you so much for your answers. I appreciate very much your effort, but as I said I am novice in this domain and I didn`t understand anything after I read all from that link. So please give me all I need to do: every instruction and the link to download RSD_LITE and the proper soft.

If you consider that Gingerbread is better for me...give me instructions for it.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Okay. This is extremely hard, so take note:

1. Download RSDLite. Any version. 4.9, 5.0. 5.5, 5.6, doesn't matter.

You will need an internet browser for that. It's a program you use to browse internet sites. The link I posted includes a link to “Instructions & Download : D2G 2.4.29 SBF & RSD Lite 4.9”. This means you will have to press your mouse's left button on that link. And then download RSD Lite there. You'll even have to install it afterwards.

2. An even more difficult endeavour. Download the SBF image for 4.5.608. In the link to the thread I posted earlier it's titled “D2G SBF 4.5.608(GB)”.

3. RSD Lite is an extremely sophisticated piece of software, so I guess the HOWTO section in http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/SBF won't be enough for you to get around it. Feel free to ask what a button is, or how to click it.

You'll need to load the SBF image into RSD Lite and follow the instructions from the how-to on the wiki.

P.S. Don't get me wrong, but you're an example of someone who plainly refuses to read. There are lots of guides everywhere. There are links to them on this forum. In a sticky thread.

We aren't tech support staff paid to guide people who refuse to think through every step of this. The *#*#4636#*#* is a service menu which wasn't made for end users. If you don't know what you are doing, you're supposed to contact Verizon or Motorola technical support. If you want to fix it, you need to understand what you are doing.

And the guides here, on the wiki, and on Droid Forums are usually pretty detailed.
[Droid 2 Global General] hectorpayano:
OMG. What a flame of justice. Dude you don't have to be that bad with him cuz he is new.

Pablo try to update software as he said. And try to read a little more, if you don't want to get answered like that.

Gingerbread is a lot better than you think in so many ways than we can't count em. as for the 3g signal, Dipens on where you are located and if the company in that state give you 3g connection. So call em and ask if they have that service in the area than you are in.

Wait that this helps you.
[Droid 2 Global General] ElectroGeek:
I really am sorry for laughing. I have been a noob too so don't feel bad. However I spent about 3 months reading up before even attempting my first flash/sbf. I understand you are between a rock and a hard place, but you really need to READ and understand everything invovled in this BECAUSE things can and do go wrong on these kind of processes and at the end of the day, YOU are responsible for fixing the problems that arise. Trust me, it is frustrating to follow all the steps and be stuck in a bootloop with no internet connection and noone to help you.

My advice:

Copy all of the instructions to your computer for offline use or even print them out.

It saved my ass the first time...

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Heres a question why is it MTD recovery is different than BML? Just because of different Filesystem? Why not convert BML scripts to MTD? I think its ridiculous to flash a temp recovery or temp Boot into EL30.

Cant it be done?

EDIT: BTW That isn't the touch version. It says N/A for touch recovery but 5.0.2.7 is non-touch recovery what we already have.

Reason why it isn't working for CM9 is that CM9 only has 5.5.0.4 thats why 5.0.2.7 will not work. And seeing how there is no touch version yet theres another reason why it will not work on CM9 haha
[Epic 4G General] MeetFace:
Don't I feel sheepish...heh heh, I'll go sit in my corner now.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yes it is the filesystem. It is more than just flashing scripts, it has to know how to make the yaffs2 backups and restores also. I imagine they would have to have a detection script and then be able to run whichever recovery you needed.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] amuroares:

A colleague came back from HK sporting one she picked up at the Airport Duty Free, apparently for a very good price (don't have details now). Might want to consider that. Said that it was the best impulse buy she'd made for a long time.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] junta_mpb:
This is correct. I bought mine in HK 2 weeks ago and all major stores use the same price; I got mine at Fortress.

My cousin doesn't suggest buying from the grey market, and I echo that excellent advice.

Check http://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=134460&hw=h&ps=star . Address of the shops is usually at the bottom of each listing. You can just search on google maps using them. So the price is in general around 470 USD (including 1 year warranty).

What is the grey market? I saw the price.com.hk link and some stores have 2 different prices. Can someone help explain to me. I plan to make a business trip to HK and would like to pick 1 WIFI only version.

Thx in advance
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] K999rrl:
but the warranty only apply to hk samsung
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zen123:
In HK there as 2 ways of buying electronic goods. From authorised retailers where you generally pay rrp but get the benefit of full manufacturer warranty & the security of knowing the item is legitimate.

The 2nd way is from unauthorised resellers (the grey market) where the same item generally costs considerably less than rrp. The main negatives of this are no warranty except for the token one the reseller gives you, depending where the item was sourced it may not have menus in the language you require & most importantly legitimacy of the goods in that they may be factory seconds, stolen (rare), certain included accessories may have been taken out prior to sale, etc.

When I lived in HK a few years I bought 90% of technology items from grey market & only ever had one serious problem.

As you are not resident in HK I would go grey market you'll save a lot of $$$s and any warranty would only apply to HK only, but make sure you inspect THE actual tab you are getting making sure that everything supposed to be in the box is in there, turn on the tab making sure it works & inspecting it for any damage.

Best place to go for these sort of items in Kowloon side is Mongkok -Sin Dat Centre or Sham Shiu Po - Golden Centre. If you are nearer Hong Kong Island side then Wan Chai Computer Centre. I used spend hours in those places.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] smartgroupxda:
Thx again for your well explanation.

I found the places you mentioned above on Google Map but not Sin Dat Centre. I found Sin Tat Plaza. Is that it? I will be on Kowloon side on Canton street so I should be able to take a quick MTR to Mongkok. I love trying to find my ways around in Hong Kong.

Thx in advance
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zen123:
Canton Road is the main tourist area of HK. Lots of electronics shops around there that have the signs that say tax free but don't be tempted to buy there, big rip off, HK doesn't have sales tax.

One more thing before you seal the deal don't be shy to ask for freebies such as case & screen protector. If you do get a screen protector ask them to put it on for you. Don't know how they do it but it will be much better than you doing yourself. But if they don't do it in your presence make sure you make a note of the serial # before they take it away.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] smartgroupxda:
You guys are great here with all these awesome tips. So forget about Nathan street nearby right?

Thx in advance
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zen123:
Nathan Road is long...from where you will be nearer the the waterfront its the tourist part so no go. The further you walk up you get to the more local areas from Jordan - Yau Ma Tai - Mongkok - Prince Edward.

By the way the main authorised dealers would be Broadway, Fortress & Chuen Yuen. I think you'll find the rrp from these dealers is HK$4088 for the wifi version. Mine was bought from Fortress with free screen protector & a neoprene pouch. I have friends & relatives that come & go over regularly so if I ever need to use the warranty they can do it for me.

The cheapest my friend found for wifi version was HK$3680 but I heard they are as low as HK$3500.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] smartgroupxda:
When I was in Hong Kong in January I was told that there are 3 models:

1. International Wi-Fi

2. International Wi-Fi/3G/GSM phone

3. Hong Kong Wi-Fi/3G (Chinese language only)

Is this correct? For me English International Wi-Fi of course.
