[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Thank you - someone gets it.

I've seen, been sent even, emails from corporate higher ups that read like that (maybe not quite that bad - but damn close) and refuse to sacrifice my professionalism because I have to make do with inefficient hardware.

My primary interest in having a smart phone is as a job necessity. I need to be able to send/receive emails on the spot in a rapidly evolving environment. Take pictures of what's happening and receive updated schematics based on what i'm sending back.

Prior my setup was a laptop, portable printer and digital camera.

In this device I have it all in one spot, and don't need a printer.

Without a hardware keyboard, having to drag around a bluetooth keyboard or something will send me right back to other hardware and drive me out of the smartphone market.

Yes, people who send messages like this do need to be punched in the face - I will agree emphatically with this statement.

Social interaction is being reduced to kindergarten level, even from supposed professional people - and I refuse to be a part of it. If that means the end of my participation in places like this due to a lack of hardware worth working on, then so be it.

It would actually be a saving grace for HTC to adapt such a model. Custom-built phones? Sh*t, sign me up now!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
On the one hand, I really can't believe HTC would do this, but then again, they're really only selling QWERTY phones on T-Mobile and Sprint these days, and who knows how many units they're selling. Moto has that locked up on Verizon with the Droid, and AT&T doesn't (as far as I know) have any HTC QWERTY phones.

On the other hand, the MT4GS has a very 'meh' keyboard. Coming from the MT3GS, I was shocked at how bad the 4G Slide was in comparison to it's predecessor. I got used to it, but I still prefer the old model.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] monkor:
I agree with what Blue said. I cover sports, and since I've been forced to use an Exhibit for the past few days while I try and find a deal on a MT4GS, my productivity has flat-lined. It's borderline pointless to attempt at dictating or swyping your way to 1,000-3,000 words effectively in a short amount of time. The keyboard is amazingly handy for those with large hands who cannot hunt and peck well at all. That they're dying out and touchscreens are coming in is a damn shame. Even with something like the Galaxy Note (which I played around with the other day), the large screen size is still not as effective as the keyboard. Technology for touchscreen effective typing simply isn't there yet. Apple really has dictated the market into forcing slim phones on everyone. Looks like I'll have to be looking at Blowkia phones from now on, though I really don't want to switch over to Windows phones....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
Psst, you just need good marketing. HTC is awful at marketing, and so is T-Mobile. Look at Samsung, people are buying the Note even though it's enormous and has a stylus. If you can't market your product, it's as good as dead. I can't really say that the MT4GS had any marketing, I only know of it because I bother to look.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I'll agree that if you don't market the product it dies. I don't watch tv, even if I had time to do so I didn't have one until I got this phone and only because of the tv-out, it's got no conversion box and gets no channels.

I didn't know this device had no marketing behind it, I was following the snapdragon line and the tv-out thread here sold me on it back in august. I wanted my first smartphone to be the S4 but this device was too good a platform to pass up.

T-mo is stepping up their marketing with the new carly - I'm glad they spent the last few years dumping cash into the network instead of marketing though.

I like the idea of build your own phone - that would be the answer.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
You forget the rest of the world. The Desire Z did well (notably better than the G2, I suspect). There are also more than a few of us who wanted a "Sensation Slide" badly enough that we had to get the MT4GS from the US. HTC made a mistake focusing too hard on the US last year and not covering their bases overseas. It is too bad they seem to be drawing the wrong conclusion from that.

Now that's much more like it

Why yes, I would like a phone :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jianzijianzi:
So I may have bricked my phone because yes, I am an idiot.

Here's how I bricked it:

Pre-stuff: I downloaded ROM Manager on my newly rooted phone and installed Clockwork Recovery. My device wasn't supported, so I had to use one of the "Other models" options and it installed fine from the looks of it.

1. I was going to flash it to Xquizit 6.1, so I put the Superwipe and the rom itself on the phone's internal memory.

2. I went into recovery. I was given 4 options;

reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

install fota

3. I went to apply update from sdcard and was told to use the Superwipe. Well me not reading it correctly, apparently this was supposed to be done via an external SD card. Not the internal memory. So basically I'm assuming it got rid of every single trace of the actual operating system.

4. Mistake #2: I misread the Superwipe instructions thinking it already made a Nandroid backup for me (I have no idea what that is or how to make one) so I figured I was fine.

5. Now when my phone boots up without me pressing extra buttons, it goes to the Samsung splash screen and then the Exhibit II 4G splash screen for a long period of time before turning off, restarting, and doing it over again.

6. I was told that I should have used an external SD card, so I went out and bought a micro SD card + a USB card reader so I could put files on it. I put the Xquizit 6.1 rom on the micro SD card, but low and behold, I go into recovery and go into my file tree, find external_sd only to see that the only folder on said external_sd was an empty DCIM folder...

So heres some basic info:

When I hold Up + Power button, it will boot into the same recovery. I get 4 options, as mentioned above. No option to mount the SD card, no place to view the contents of the SD card. None of the options are any use to me right now except "apply update from sdcard". One problem though, since (I think) it's the internal memory, when I go to try and flash my rom through there I get an error:

-- Install /sdcard ...
E: Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No s
pace left on device)
Installation aborted.

When I hold Down + Power button, it takes me to a warning screen that says "A custom OS can cause critical problems in a phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, please press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel." When I press volume up, it takes me to a screen that says Odin Mode, has a lil bit of info in the upper right, and has the Android logo along with "Downloading... do not turn off target!!"

Except I left it on this all night and it didn't do anything...(probably a noob thing to say).

When I hold Up AND Down + Power button, it takes me to the ramdump screen.

So far from all my Googling I can't seem to find people who have had the same issues as me. Any idea on what I can do? Much thanks in advance.

Phone status: Rooted, unlocked, flashed with Jokersax's Kitchen sinking and running great.

Question 1: How do I flash a kernal?

Question 2: Since I rooted and flashed my phone I have been unable to see it on my computer. I reloaded the drivers and I can hear the phone be recognized but the phone is not seen on the computer. How do I fix this?

Question 3: I have Gapps installed. When I call someone with Car Dock I can hear the call through the stereo. When I play music or use the navigation I can't. How can I fix that?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] JonSchimmy:
Car Dock work around

I found a work around for the car dock. If you start playing the music before you put your phone in the car dock it will play through your car stereo. Not the best fix but it is a work-around.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] falcon26:
Well I get my 8.9 Tuesday. I got a refurbished one for $300. I know it comes with Honeycomb 3.2. Now I am assuming that ICS will not be released for the 8.9 or any other tab 1 until the Tab 2's come out. So is it safe to assume that ICS on these Tab 1's will not happen for at least another 1-2 months?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] lilsim89:
That depends. If you're Tab is the WiFi version only, you can download an unofficial ICS rom in the Android Development forum. If it's the AT&T LTE version, we're mostly likely going to have to wait for the Samsung update (which should be in a few months, hopefully.)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbeddoesdesign:
Official ICS update is said to be coming in May.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] falcon26:
That's what I figured. I don't think Samsung would release it before the Tab 2's are out. Both the 7 inch and 10.1 inch version. If I had to gues ICS for the 8.9 will probably come late May....
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] the Doctor:
Correction: there are ICS ROMs for the 7300 and 7310 by the Galaxian Soup team. The only caveat is that we're still waiting for camera drivers.

On the AT&T LTE version, you are probably correct.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] knipp21:
yup and they run great. i have a nandroid of the 3.2 rom for when i deploy and need to talk to my wife
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
So I have a few apps... Voltage Control, SetCPU, No-Frills CPU... but I've honestly been a bit weary to use them. I want the best battery life since I'm a heavy user, but I also don't want to overclock/set voltage to a point where I'll screw up my phone. I'll admit that I'm a novice user when it comes to voltage/overclocking, but not when it comes to ROMs, kernels, bootloaders, etc. I work with those all the time, but really trying to get the most out of the battery and CPU.

There's this thread I found that has someone's settings on it, but don't know if its good or how much this guy knows(no offense to him):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356211

Anyone got any insight or perhaps screenies of their optimally tested settings? VERY VERY appreciated to anyone that can help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
there is no rule. every cpu is different. very different. my captivate took a lot of effort to get a meer 1300 mhz but my infuses get 1600 no problem at all. some infuses wont go to 1600 but more will go to 1500 than galaxy s's. they probably held out the best testing cpu's for the higher clocked phone.

for battery life try clocking @ 800 mhz and dont use screen off profiles just because it looks like a good idea to slow the cpu when you arent really using it(causes problems if the max freq is too low with some kernels) and test stability with your uv settings, go down a little at a time, for max frequency uv from the top down, for battery life go from the bottom up and disable the upper freqs if they become unstable. this is because rapid voltage changes can contribute to instability. too much differential will cause crashes if the uv is extreme or the oc is extreme.

at some point though the cpu settings will have a limited effect. the radios use battery as well. manage your screen brightness and try edge only with the screen off using any number of apps that manage the radio. try one of entropys kernels to avoid a feature of the wifi chip (or was it bt) from sucking power when in proximity of another device with the same chip. turn off sync if you dont need push emails from gmail or real time facebook updates and if you really need battery life get in the habit of togging wifi and bt and gps on and off depending on need. i do none on this because i always found the battery life adequate on samsung phones but on my aria, well it was a must and prolly why people hate android. htc and battery life dont go together unless you manually manage the phone functions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
That's a great bunch of information. I currently keep my Brightness at 0%, GPS off, Wifi only ON when I'm at work when the charger is plugged in.

I guess I'm more concerned with the undervolting than the overclocking. I'd rather preserve the battery life with undervolting... the overclocking isnt a HUGE concern, but it'd be nice to see. Regardless, if you have any "ideal" UV settings, or ones that have worked for YOUR Infuse(assuming you have one), then I'd love to see them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
at one point i had -200mv on every freq from 100-1600mhz and no crashes. i started manually editing the uv script (voltage control is only able to write -200 into the script unless you have the pay version) and forgot what i ended up with. but my first infuse was exceptional in that area. some infuses freeze above 1400 mhz no matter what voltage settings are used. about -50 seems to be safe 99% of the time with minor or no overclock across the board but you could probably go -50 down low and -100 from 400mhz up to 1200 and -50 or -75 on overclock freqs. with underclock or atleast no overclock it's probably safe to go -100 to -150. it may be safe to go much more than that as well but on a small number of phones that might be too far as it is. cpus are made on such a small scale that microns of inconsistency make large percentages of difference. many dont pass testing and qc. some are borderline for the application, some are exceptional. the smaller the architecture gets the more potential the design has for speed but the larger the variance in performance is given a manufacturing technique. obviously the manufacturing gets better and better combating this so that they can make smaller architectures they also have redundancy built in, but sometimes they just disable features of a chipset and market it as an economy version if they have a low pass rate. ever see a 3 core cpu for a pc? most are manufactured as 4 cores and on many motherboards the bios can unlock the 4th core with somewhat unpredictable results.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
Again, some really great info for the technical guys such as myself. What is the best way to test the UV settings? The built in tools and stuff in SetCPU? Or is there another way that would be more effective and/or would get more realistic results?

Hello everyone. I guess I am not wrong in running out of patience while waiting for Samsung to roll out the ICS Update to Galaxy S2, in India at least. I have been looking at ways to do that for my GT-I9100G but for some reason wherever I go to on google or youtube talks about GT-I9100 and not the build I need. Can anyone help me on this. My phone is running Build XWLC2, Kernel 2.6.35.7. Thanks everyone.

Re: i9100g ICS update

Hi Lavjain

The ICS update for the i9100G version officially out. It isn't available just yet in all countries, many countries have already got it. Im sure India too will get in a few days.

I suggest you keep checking out login to your twitter account and search for 'i9100g ics' in the searchbox and you will see the latest updates regarding it.

you can also follow the official samsung india twitter account @samsung_india

They will post the update when its out.

Its very frustrating to wait so long when the i9100 model gets the update and the 'G' users have to wait.

If you google the differences between the two, you will see that the CPU and GPU are slightly in terms of Speed. However the i9100g Never heats up like the i9100 model and Samsung has corrected some internal errors with the i9100 model. I personally find the i9100G better. Its more stable and never overheats.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] buntspexxt:

Can you point me to any version available please. The only version that i have seen so far is the leaked chinese one.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vermabhanu:
Hi friend...

If you are still on stock, can you please connect your phone and check if the ICS is now available for the phone. I cannot check as I am on custom ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Well, I didn't upload anything yet. If you tell me how to control the frigging repository from Windows I'll do it right away :)

But seriously I want to make absolutely sure that this kernel doesn't have this nuisance of silent reboots. Because it they still present there is no need to have this kernel.

No matter what happens, if Vooodoo sound works without problems, I'll give you the code if you want it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I'm about to post something to my cm7 thread, so heads up.

But stock kj6 kernel (if you download it from opensource.samsung.com and apply a few of my changes to fix tfsr and add initramfs) still has the same reboot issue.

I'm gonna start comparing some of the code from the froyo kernel to see wtf is going on. I fixed a problem with rild and random reboots are back.

I'm finding that the problem is related to suspend. The reboot happens when everything quiets down.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I'm operation on the assumption that 0.0.2d never had silent reboots. Nobody ever reported having them with this version. I have never ever experienced a reboot with it myself. That's why I took it as the base.

I haven't really looked what you did right after 0.0.2d. Seems like you switched to aries config instead from vibrantplus. Any particular reason? Anyway, I reverted it back and even slightly more back. Then you did some clean up and modified bunch of code. I don't care about cleaning somebody else's code like this. Unused functions and variables will be optimized out by the compiler anyway. To get rid of annoying warnings I just used -Wno-unused switch to gcc in the Makefile.

So - hard to tell what's happened between 0.0.2d and 0.1.0 (or 0.1.1?), but something must have happened. Too many people reported it to support this.

Just flashed. I'm fully charging up right now. I'll run it for a day to check on battery life and do some restores to make sure all that is good to go. Including voodoo is a nice touch. A already have the paid app because the headphone amp is something I can't live without but really nice for those that haven't used it to check it out. I have never had a reboot on 2d so hopefully this will maintain that tradition. Nice work.

I have an SGS 4G running stock ROM, rooted right now.

Can I use SGS kernal flasher to flash this kernal? Is that all I have to do to run this kernal?

What will running this kernal do for me? Will the phone run smoother, fewer reboots/crashes, etc.? Or does this kernal just add the ability to do some things that can't be done with stock kernel, but doesn't really affect stability/speed vs stock?

I still wanted to keep the phone pretty close to stock (don't really want a full, new ROM), but I'm having stability issues on stock everything. Will this help with that?

Is there anything that this breaks (i.e. like lots of ROMS break the GPS)?

To get what I want, is there something different from this that would be better for me?

This is a quote from another thread (MIUI), I move it here to be on topic.

I noticed that too. It seems like since I started using SetCPU my phone gets hot. I can feel it even through the case. I thought it could be something else, but as I saw another person also had experienced it I thought I'd confirm.
