Why can't sbf back to froyo?
[Droid Pro Android Development] hashtowent:
if something goes wrong,

i can flash 2.3.6, but then i'm stuck till there's a rot exploit for this rom, right (so with 2.3.6 no way for CM7/9?)
[Droid Pro Android Development] dettofatto:
yes... You can flash to 2.3.6 but we don't have any root...

remember to format your system before flashing ics or cgm.

ics is very good, but we don't have camera!

cgm 7 is very good, but the gsm/wifi data are very bad!
[Droid Pro Android Development] hashtowent:
what about apex v2?
[Droid Pro Android Development] dettofatto:
I didn't try...!
[Droid Pro Android Development] bveditz:
I don't have the european pro, I use the american droid pro but on GSM. My experience was that Apex was much more usable for GSM users than CM7. CM7 had issues with switching back and forth between wifi and gsm and required some special reboot process when switching between the two which made it pretty unusable for me. Apex has a couple quirks as well, such as a weird dialer (can be replaced by d/ling touchpal dialer) and no proximity sensor.

With the exception of the non-working camera, the ICS build is probably the best of the roms. Once they're able to find a workaround for the camera, the ICS CM9 build will be the best rom to use. Especially since both CM7 and Apex are no longer being updated.

do ics or cm7 support german as language?

how about qwertz layout?

Yes! They are multilanguages..

I suggest you ics.

[Defy General] @l3X:
What are the differences (if any) between the Froyo kernels for the green lens Defy? I know there are some differences between the red lens/Defy+ GB kernels are there any changes in the Froyo kernels? The boot picture changes (the red "M"[Miui], "Google" with the CM logo+Moto[7.1 I think] & the M+hornet[7.1.11], etc... I curious because if there are differences I wonder how the different cm7 kernels would work with the new nightly builds of CM9...
[Defy General] crakeron:
The splash screen can be changed and isn't imposed by the kernel.

Generally kernel updates bring better ressource tools or usage (memory, battery...) on a low level.

CM7 + CM9 double boot
[Defy General] mckarty:
kernels are like the gades on the fuel pump you use the kernel acording to the rom you want to flash,the newer the rom gets better kernel and better performance

I just tried the video recording feature for the first time. When I played it back on the phone it was the same orientation as when it was recorded - great so far.

However, when I when to upload to my computer via Samsung Kies, the Kies player had it orientated 90* to the left - OK, something's wrong.

After loaded onto the computer, it remained orientated 90* to the left.

When I uploaded it to Youtube, it was orientated correctly, thankfully.

This is extremely odd.

Hi all, just got the Note the yesterday and while playing around with it noticed that on Netflix viewing the button lights don't go off, ever.

Tried doing a search in this forum and didn't come up with anything but maybe someone knows what's going on?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
1) Wow, those buttons seem really bright on the white Notes

2) Based on my past Samsung devices, altering the capacitive buttons behavior must be baked into the Kernel. So it will take some custom development to get Back Light Dimmer functionality exposed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] poocano:
yeah the buttons are overly bright on the white version. seems like a bit of the screen backlight shows through. very annoying when watching in the dark, not so noticeable during the day or in a lighted room.

might have to break out so black tape when in the dark if this is how it's always going to be :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Snarksneeze:
I think it has something to do with the "keep screen on" setting in these applications.

Tape? Yikes, not me! I cover them with my thumb. Get deep enough into a movie and they don't bother you so much ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] cbradberry:
So here is my situation...

I would like one flash one of the new ICS roms and have run into an annoying problem.

I created a directory on the SD card called "Root", and downloaded the rom and placed it in the directory. I then rebooted into Recovery and after selecting update from zip on SD card, the file can't be located.

The only file in the Root directory is the first ROM I flashed and gaaps.

I can't seem to locate those files from Es file manager though.. Thoughts??
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
From recovery your sd card is called SD CARD.

from within say file manager your sd card will be in mnt/external_sdcard.

Some sd cards has a issue being read by cwm recovery. Often formatting the card in a Android phone or with sd format app. if k downloaded the rom file from within windows . In android file manager long tap on the file and click properties . check to see if the file is names xxxx.zip.zip

if you have stock recovery . the file must be on the root of the external sd card NOT in a folder at all. But your message makes me think you have cwm installed . if you are sure none of the above is the issue. Try re download the rom of your choice and try again.

Good Luck
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Erica is right. When you copy your file to EXT SD Card, you should copy it straight to the card. NOT put it in some folder. This will make it easy for your Recovery to find.

This is the basic method. Depending on which recovery you use (RA or CWM) there are other locations you can use as well (USB Drive, Internal memory) but best to get familiar with the basic method first.
[Acer Iconia A500] cbradberry:
This worked for me... Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
So seeing as I'm not allowed to post in dev threads yet, I want to ask what would happen if I tried to desense and install the ics notification bar on a 4.0.1 rom vs. 0.3? (The ics notification bar is for 4.0.3 only apparently). If it doesn't work, can I flash any ics rom that doesn't require any kernal tweaks over icse 2.3? Or are kernels more so specialized per rom? Sorry if my questions are noobish, I'm still new to kernels seeing as I came from motorola phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] imekul:
I am watching this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23272848) in amazement, as people report 24+ hours of battery life, with screen-on time of four, five, or even SEVEN hours!

I can't understand how folks get such great life.

Mine averages about two or three hours of screen time and about 14-18 hours, I'd say. I'm using Blazer 4.0, FB27 modem, and Rogue 1.4 kernel.

I know everybody's usage is different, and also we're all going to get different results due to other factors (signal strength, apps, etc), but I can't understand why the massive difference in battery life!

And I do have an 1800 maH battery. :-)

Note: I do have a handful of apps, but not a whole lot, and I don't think any are destroying the battery. According to BetterBatteryStats, it doesn't look like the phone is having any trouble sleeping. That is, the screen-on time is just slightly lower than the awake time, meaning that the phone is typically sleeping when the screen is off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
With your usage, you feel 14-18 hours of battery is bad??? Id say a day of 16 hours consistently is pretty darn good. Now, I know that I have gotten over a day on battery by using it all day and then forgetting to charge it over night. Sleeping while the phone isnt awake can give some pretty outrageous looking battery life. Again, Id say if you are getting 14-18 hours on one charge, you are doing pretty darn good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] imekul:
Well, I understand that when the phone is sleeping, it generally uses very little power -- especially on wifi.

It's mainly the screen-on time that amazes me. How can somebody get seven hours of screen-on time?? Just seems unreal!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Well I am assuming that their 7 hours of screen on time was doing something minor. Then again, these are electronics, and they are all different. He just may have found his perfect set up. But again, if you can get through your day, doing everything you needed to with your phone and lasted 14-18 hours, I would be happy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
disabling fb/twitter sync has helped my bat life improve.

always turning screen off when done rather than letting 1min timer take care of that whenever possible.

wifi is better on battery than 4g/3g. also disable wifi sleep.

other than that.. all comes down to extra 3rd party apps you have and personal usage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rado_vr6:
I've never calculated mine all out, but I do get some pretty decent battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
Its all about how you use the phone. everyone seems to have there own definition of what "heavy" and "light" usage is but the fact is people getting 14+ hours aren't using there phone all that often. if you want to know how much actual usage time you can get out of the phone check the time the phone has been awake or the time the screen has been on.

for example my g2x goes for about 2 and a half hours of screen on time. my vibrant, 2 hours. havent had the e4gt long enough to see. these numbers of course changes depending on what you're actually doing (data intensive tasks will obviously cause faster drain) but it will give you an idea of how much you can actually use the phone before it dies. if all youre doing is texting here and there and checking email plus maybe 15-20 minutes of games or videos it isnt hard to get through a 10-12 hour day on a single charge. but if youre like me where i spend extended periods of time browsing the net while messaging and texting then the batter is going to die fast regardless of what battery saving tricks people suggest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:
I recently removed OfficeSuite Pro 5 and noticed about 15-20% better battery life.

I don't know. Just how much can you believe people who are posting on forums that they are not exaggerating? Take for instance the post below where this guy was claiming he got 11 hours of screen on time and STILL had over 50% battery left on stock battery. By far the biggest claim in battery life I have ever seen. And he was insistent on it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22293195&postcount=30

All I'm saying is take what people are saying about amazing battery life with a grain of salt.

I average about 3 hours screen on time, and occasionally get over 4 hours with ~24 hours total time. But if my signal isn't the greatest, like when I'm at work, I get probably 1.5 hours screen on time and 17 hours total time.

Man i got one word for you MIUI!When i first got my Epic i flashed gb miui and my battery was amazing-about 2 days and it wasn't even all the way calibrated!

Now i flashed Blazer 4.0 and my battery only last 1 day and i don't even use it as much as i did on miui.I been on Blazer 4.0 for about a week and battery is not improving.

I think im going back to gb miui soon as he updates it(any day now),only thing that Blazer has that Miui don't is hw acceleration/video decoding but there isn't any difference in speed that i noticed,as matter of fact there is zero checkerboarding in miui but Blazer has some.Blazer is great twiz rom but miui has better battery and other things.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype2:
So, my concern and question is, I want to unroot my TMOBILE G2 with DESIRE Z HBOOT and go back to factory Froyo 2.2. Why? because there isn't a stable rom out there that I can rely on and I just want to keep the phone stock. So I got 3 questions:

1.) Will I have to install/update back to the G2 hboot again before unrooting or can I just go ahead and unroot it as it is with the DESIRE Z HBOOT?

2.) (back to question one) If I can unroot with DESIRE Z HBOOT, can I follow this process "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jOkEJNUKh0"? Install the PC10IMG to update everything back to stock?

3.) If there is a better-different way to unroot, please direct me to it.

All in all, I like rooting and everything but at the end of the day, I prefer to have a stable phone that doesn't lag and crash. Also I can always reroot it again in the future if I feel like. Anyways, please and thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] nodyarg:
The google voice app has never worked on my phone, always giving me some message about it being for US only.

But today i tried it from my phone and it actually allowed me to set up an account. It stopped at the screen where i was setting up my voicemail pin and said "We have a problem. Your phone number could not be verified. Please try again.". So far i havent been able to get past that screen.

I was able to make google voice calls on my laptop today so it seems like they are allowing use in Canada finally. Does anyone know if its possible to use google voice on mobilicity or wind?

I am curious because mobilicity has a new plan with unlimited calls texts and data for 25 a month, but no voicemail. If i can use google voice as my voicemail then obviously that wont be a problem.
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
don't know if you checked this out already, but read the post below...I think it should explain what you're looking for....

http://community.windmobile.ca/windmobile/topics/using_google_voice_on_your_phone?from_gsfn=true
[General Questions and Answers] nodyarg:
Thanks, its too bad that the workarounds discussed in that post still dont offer a solution for voicemail, but that will probably be useful information for future reference.

I did find a solution to this problem without using google voice if anyone is interested. I may as well share it.

To those who are interested in this plan but wont sign up without voicemail:

- You can get a free phone number and a customizable answering machine from http://www.freephoneline.ca/ (if you cant get a toronto number you can use thornhill, richmond hill, etc to avoid forwarding to a long distance number)

- Then set your phone to forward your unanswered, busy, and unavailable incoming calls to your freephoneline number.

- Then set your voicemail access number to the corresponding number on this list http://www.freephoneline.ca/vmAccessNumbers

- Also make sure to set your freephoneline to only ring once before going to voicemail, you can do this by logging into your account on their website and going to your settings

- You now have $25 BTS + Voicemail! When people call your regular phone number and you dont answer, it will forward them to your voicemail on your freephoneline number, and you can check your voicemail from your cell phone the same way you always would.

I believe they also provide the option to automatically transcribe your voicemails and email them to you in text form.

EDIT: Apparantly call forwarding is $5 more, if thats true this wouldnt work. Another option would be using Dell Voice on the android market.

Its an app gives you a canadian number with the area code of your choice and can be used to make and receive calls anywhere in canada and US for free, and customizable voicemail. It uses your carrier data to do this, but since this plan has unlimited data that shouldnt be a problem. The only problem is you would have to get used to making and receiving all your calls through an app, and using your dell voice number as your primary number.

Might be worth the extra $5 to get call features and add the freephoneline voicemail via the method above, the $5 call features addon on the mobilicity website includes Call Waiting, Call Forwarding and 3-Way Calling, (plus voicemail via fpl). Thats basically $30 for the $29 plan i currently have with wind except that it doesnt expire in a year and go up to $45 =/

Not real sure how to help you if you are running stock. You shouldnt be missing calls while surfing the web. You might could try updating your PRL and Profile. Otherwise, talk to Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
When a call comes in and you are on a data connection, you have the choice of the call interrupting the data connection or being sent to voice mail.

The DDTM (Dedicated Data Transmission Mode) entry controls which behavior you get. DDTM on means data has priority and voice gets sent to voice mail. DDTM off means voice will interrupt your data connection.

To change the setting go to ##DATA# and edit the EVDO entry.

You'll need your MSL to edit (getprop ril.MSL)
