Some how it fixed itself. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Are you unable to download apps bigger than 25mb? Or 30mb? Well here is the solution for the problem. The way apps downloaded from the market works is to save it into the /cache folder and then install it after it is downloaded. For me, in miui rom i only have 26mb in the /cache folder available. This solution has been tested in miui rom, and should work on stock roms.

Type in Terminal Emulator:

mkdir /mnt/sdcard/market-download-cache
su
cd /cache
mv download download.bak
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/market-download-cache download
ls -ahl

The way this works is that

I've gotten this solution from here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22945-i-cant-download-anything-bigger-than-5m-from-the-markets/

I take no credit, im just sharing this solution.

PS. If the first command doesnt work, just leave it out when typing in the commands.

Also, make a backup first, in case something goes wrong:D

Also: you have to recreate the link only after clearing the cache.(thanks to falex007)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jan3586:
Thanks bscraze! Is this a permanent solution? or do we need to do this everytime we try to download a large app( in case you reboot in between)? Just thought of it since you are writing in the /cache partition.. thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
I don't think you need to, as it creates a symlink. But if you need to, please let me know so I can add it in the OP ;)

Cheers:)

So today I dropped my phone on a hardwood floor. I thought it was fine until i tried turning the screen on. The inside of my screen was cracked and everything was messed up. I filed a claim with asurion and I'll be getting the new phone Monday hopefully. I was wondering if anyone had any previous experiences with Asurion and would like to share? Did you get a new or refurbished phone? How was your experience?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meechieervin:
last time i used them i got a refurbished phone but it seem like it was brand new
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Personally any refurbished phone I got from any Tmobile source in the past ten years looked and acted brand new.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Micronads:
I got a new fascinate from them and it ran better than the original one. Using glitch kernel with the low leakage download. Could not run it on original phone. Anyway, have had three phones replaced thru them with zero issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scyke:
Thanks guys. It makes me feel a little better that I will get a good device. I don't want to go though the hassle of returning it and waiting for another one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
How much did you have to pay to file the claim?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gfaughn:
$130 is the deductible, once it's filled it comes right out of T-mobiles warehouse just like a warranty exchange. Glad you were able to get it all taken care of so quickly. I'm so paranoid about my screen breaking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scyke:
I had to pay $130. Its better than a new phone or having to go through the hassle of fixing the screen. I'm always so careful with my phones but it just slid off my desk and fell. It was awful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
I could imagine :(

I have insurance so that is why I asked....Although I really hope I never have to file a claim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
When they used the term "refurbished".... It's not like they take a broken fone fix it n give it to lol.... It's when a customer has 14 days when they get there fone n they don't like it, n they return it to the store. There was nothing wrong with the fone its just that the store can't sell it so they mail it back to corporate.. They do a whipe.. n they send it out.. Just wanted to clear things up lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
That's true for some, the whole truth is that sometimes they are a frankenstein of many bad phones. If you were here when the T989 forum kicked off, there was a ton of people sending their phones back for screen issues. You can bet those got circulated again as exchanges too. For me personally, I have sent back tons of replacements because they were not 100% perfect. Know that you can tell them if you have an issue and they will try to resolve it.

Hope that helps you get a balanced view of things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joelags:
Just got this phone a few weeks ago. Running all stock latest software and my camera consistently fails to start up and just goes to a "camera failed" error message. Most of the time if I clear data it loads but I think I have a faulty phone. I even did a factory wipe and the problem persisted. Anyone else have this problem with the skyrocket? If I cant fix this on my own soon ill have at&t send me a new one.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
In one of the other threads about this it took formatting the sd cards

This has happened to me on a few Roms

In those cases I had to do a full wipe and reflash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scampbelljr:
Did you solve the problem? Just got one myself and have encountered the same issue. Looking for reliable solutions...or confirmation that I need to have it replaced. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Numpangx:
It happened to me about a week ago. What I did to solve it was to go into settings/applications/manage apps then look for the camera apk and clear data/force stop. After that it went back to normal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] howlingmoon12:
Definitely go back for a replacement if wiping SD card, stopping and wiping Camera data and resetting to factory setting doesn't work. I neglected to check the Camera when I picked up mine from Roger, first time using it thought root and CWM messed it up, so I flashed Bonestocketeer, managed to get it working for about 5 minutes with all of the above then failed again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CEOGUY:
Did the same thing and now it doesn't camera fail anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dynamite1985:
I tried this on a buddys SkyRocket and it worked.

I pulled the camera.apk from a T989 ROM and pushed it to the skyrocket. So far, it has worked flawlessly.

Hope it helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y4rg:
My phone's camera worked fine out of the box. Just noticed I'm having this problem also.

I installed / backed up with CWM and rooted my phone using this method:

Froze most of the AT&T bloatware with Titanium using suggestions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341558

Somewhere between these two steps may be the culprit? :confused:

Besides being rooted, I'm running stock Android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.11, UCLA3 ROM. Luckily, I've only had the phone for about 10 days so I'll just have to swap for a new one if it persists after restoring and a factory reset..

Edit: Still not working after factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
I started getting the error when I took the 2.3.6 OTA. It began with failures to save pics to my external SD card, then later the error popup. Clearing camera data and reformatting my external card helped a little but the problem grew back. Finally, launching the camera app always got the error.

Swapping the phone didn't help. In my case the problem followed the SD card. When I read that other apps accessing the camera might aggravate the problem, I disabled video calling in skype.

I got a new SD and the problem hasn't repeated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y4rg:
Tried removing my SD card, to no avail.

After looking at how relatively cheap I can find this exact phone, unlocked, online, I now realize I made a huge mistake by going to a retailer. I paid $649.99 before taxes for the S2 Skyrocket a week ago at Best Buy Mobile, as I was replacing my recently destroyed LG Thrill, which had no insurance and was out-of-warranty. :mad:

Does anyone know if it'd be possible to just get a full refund for this device from Best Buy Mobile, and use another (much cheaper) unlocked S2 Skyrocket on AT&T's network?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I was just at the mall and ran across the dummy phone of the samsung galaxy note. I compared the size to a e4gt dummy and it definitely was bigger. It, to me, wasn't too big. I loved the extra screen real estate and it wasn't too big to be used as a phone, imo at least.

I would wait for a decent amount of reviews to come out before considering it. I'd also lurk the forums to see what develops for it and what problems people might be having. If everything seemed okay then I would get it. I'd have to get it full price but maybe I could find some discounts somehow. I don't know enough about the cpu and gpu to tell if they're good or old school.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Love the Note, but too big for me, for a PHONE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
No I wouldn't. Honestly sometimes the E4GT is a lot of phone to handle, and I don't think I'd want to go that much bigger. The Galaxy Note is an awesome device, I am just perfectly content with my awesome E4GT until LTE gets released near me, then I'll get an LTE phone comparable in size to the E4GT.

Awsome device for everytbing else but a phone. Youl look crazy putting that book like tab near your ear in public.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I like to use my phone with one hand though, and honestly even with a flygrip I think it would be difficult, cuz I have medium sized hands and it would just be a challenge to use the phone with one hand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
The E4GT is at the size if pushing the limit of one handed use and I have pretty long fingers. Also I wear a belt case for my phone and I am guessing the note would look rediculous on a belt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
Yes and no. The Note, I wonder if it would get so much support... No because, I HAVE to have some kind of Otterbox or similar brand name case, because I am a klutz! Hehe --- That's the FIRST time that I've EVER spelled klutz! Lmao!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Would I trade my ET4G for a Gnote on Sprint?

fnck yes. I'm a tall fella with big hands and bigger pockets. My hands and pockets have plenty of room...I'm a fan of absurdity and I'd love the resolution. Bring it on.

Sprint GNex be damned (it does pain me to say it)....I'm going to Galaxy Note instead.

I wouldn't know whether to post this in the accessories or q&a section, but if you don't mind --- where can you find a flygrip at a good price???

Good point. I probably would, myself... just as long as an Otterbox or Seidio would fit in my pocket... I'm not that tall but I have HUGE hands!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Would go in accessories, but to answer your question I have only seen them for sale on flygrips website. I did take a look around a couple of times seeing if I could find them elsewhere any cheaper for family and wasn't able to come across it. I got mine from their site for $30... although with a free case they gave with it, it's not the worst deal.

[HTC Wildfire S] magus57:
I used a demo unit at a T-Mobile store, and was kinda surprised to find it relatively responsive/lag-free, especially with Sense tacked on, given the specs; I can imagine how much it'd fly with a vanilla CM7 ROM on it or something of the sort. I was originally hoping the Dell Venue Pro would fill in as a secondary phone, but I didn't like WP7 so I returned it.

Anyway, I have the chance to get one for like $150 new, and I was just wondering if it's worthwhile using it as a secondary/smaller phone to my G2; while my G2 isn't exactly super-heavy/expensive, I'd probably feel worse losing/damaging it than the Wildfire, and I don't really need the keyboard at work since I don't exactly have the time to really use it. Having a second (decent) Android phone would allow me to play around with experimental stuff with the G2 while I use the Wildfire and still have a functional/available Android phone. I like the overall feel/look/weight/etc to it too - light enough to use with an armband if I wanted to and comfortably take my phone jogging or something. Yes, I know the specs and screen resolution would mean less stuff compatible, but it's not like I even watch Netflix or anything like that on my G2. Are there any major problems with it maybe, particularly ones that can't be fixed by software?

The next cheapest decent phone I can get is the new LG MyTouch for about $50, and while it's better in like every way (screen quality, specs even better than my G2, etc.), the lack of a search button is a real downer, I'm not a fan of the build quality (played around with it and used to have a Optimus V...both feel like toys compared to my G2 or the Wildfire S), and the huge bezel on the bottom is just ugly. And while it's ligther than my G2, it's not much smaller.

And while I could obviously get something better than my G2 and then use the G2 as a secondary phone...there isn't much on T-Mobile that I'm really interested in; I mean, I can upgrade to the Amaze 4G or GSII for about $400, but I don't find either enough of an upgrade over my G2 (unlike the Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy Tab 7.7...which are $600+ each, and don't really have a need for either at the moment).
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Honestly you'd be better served finding another phone. While most things are fixable with software, unless you're a dev, the gsm models are constant headaches. Don't get me wrong, i like the phone. I just sometimes regret not just trying to flash a dinc or something to my carrier. Ebay has super cheap used phones.
[HTC Wildfire S] realaaa:
so far almost everything works OK for me with unofficial CM 7.2 from alquez, and I'm quite pleased with how it's performing now

the one last stumbling block for me now is GPS which I broke by applying patches from here :) I guess worst case scenario is I'll have to re-flash it again (too bad I did not do backup before applying the GPS patch).

but it was indeed a pain to unlock the bootloader and root it, quite a procedure let me tell you
[HTC Wildfire S] magus57:
Mind telling what's so bad about the GSM versions? I'd really like to know, as I kinda close to impluse-buying it yesterday :eek: if it really is that bad, are there any other small/light T-Mobile phones you can recommend? Everything else I've seen feels so cheap/plasticky...

How hard was it? I've only dealt with a few phones in terms of rooting and I can't say it was enough to deter me away from the phone itself.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:

Everything is running fast and stable.

[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
You should probably get the HTC Sensation 4G or the HTC Amaze. I should known how bad the wildfire s was before I bought it :(
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
i dont get it how can it be a headache, since from when i bought it, there were only minor problems.... can u give some arguments on what you are telling

Also this stands for MrTaco505 ....

As for the thread starter: if you want small phone, with decent capabilities, its phone for you ... though i don't know what is the price range that you want, certainly that the sensation would be better... but it also costs twice the wildfire s ? :eek:
[HTC Wildfire S] magus57:
Certainly good to hear, thanks.

Eh, Sensation/Amaze are at least $300 each for me, and are only barely slimmer than my G2 - they're about equal in weight and bigger due to the screen. I understand either would be much better than the Wildfire S...but simply put, I need an Android phone for a few basic functionalities/apps, not some fancy dual-core for games I'll never play with HDMI-output that I'll rarely use (if ever), etc. I also don't like spending much on a phone period, so ~$150 is a great price to me.

While I can technically afford the Sensation, the size/weight of it compared to the Wildfire S is why I'm not really considering it. And unless I'm mistaken, there's not many other decent phones in the same price range that don't feel like they're made of cheap plastic - which is why I'm asking.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
galaxy ace would be the only alternative, but it feels cheaper than wfs in hand ...
[HTC Wildfire S] realaaa:
not super hard, most of the hassle was around unlocking the bootloader which in my case was not very straight forward (and in general I think I hit every corner which I could possible have :))

see my post here for more details about what were my steps
[HTC Wildfire S] regius:
I am using a DZ (european G2) and a wfs as a secondary phone. All I can say is that the wfs is performing pretty good. As I am not using any data on it, the battery life on 2G is more than decent and the handset is quite fast. Right now I am using the latest stock ROM with OC and I am very happy with it.

I guess it also depends on what and how many apps are you planning to install on it. The internal memory is not very big, and it may also slow down the phone. At some point I was using a phone logger that would sync all my phone calls with google calendar and the app would render my phone unusable at times.

If you are planning to use it mainly for phone calls, I definitely recommend it. It is a great phone, way better then the galaxy ace IMO

[HTC Wildfire S] magus57:
Yeah, was looking at it earlier, but even if I wanted it I'd be stuck with 2G using it on T-Mobile USA.

Thanks, I'll look into that soon!

Thanks for the reply, went ahead and put a bid on one Wildfire S, hopefully I can get it cheaper than through my friend's T-Mobile discount.
[HTC Wildfire S] regius:
I forgot to mention one thing: the price. I got my wfs brand new for less than 100 bucks from vodafone, so for that price is an amazing device
