did someone knows how to place the battery icon on the start button bar?

after upgrade to wm2005,its disapper.pls help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] whoopass2204:
When I rotated the screen to landscape mode, screen is rotated but stylus does not respond correctly! Responds as if the screen is still in Portrait mode! :? This is really a pain!!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Putra:
acefeel: just install the many, many batt meter progs available for free & not free (Kbattery etc). Personally, I like MagicButton. It is actually a task switcher with a batt meter. U may also want to try powerstatus which gives a 2 pixel batt & memory bar at the very top. Similar to SPB today.

whoopass2204: I never had that prob even under 2003SE; and never heard of it since 2003SE. I had that when I was still using wm2003 and SRS to rotate the screen... if you go to buzzdev, Toe has made a small prog that even changes the Dpad setting accordingly. Maybe you can try that.

Re: WM05

Hi!

Yes, I have the same problem. Why the unset "Screen Toggle" to none? Thats just what one want. If screen is toggled to blank it wakes up when it changes song, either manually by pressing left/right or auto when the song reaches the end.

I have seen the same behaviour on Qtek 2020 with WM5, Qtek 9090 with WM5 and a iMate Jasjar with released WM5 code.

The only configuration I have seen this working on is Qtek 9090 with 2003 SE and WMP10 (rom 1.40)

Haven't have the time or competence to look into it but if anyone needs more details just pm me.

/cheers

Here is an update to my findings regarding BT and the power button.

I noticed in the registry: hklm\system\state\hardware is see 'Bluetooth with the value of 0 as well as Handsfree=0 and Cradled=0

When I check to enable Bluetooth this value changes to 1.

When I turn off the unit and turn it back on the value changes back to 0

I tried removing the Bluetooth dword to see what would happen and the dword entry was recreated after I hit the power button.

I then tried deleting the hardware key all together and the key was restored.

Is there a relation between a driver or the power button changing the 'hardware' key to default values of 0?

Is there a way to set the registry entry and prevent it from being changed?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dzjenghis:
After upgrading to WM5: no GPRS anymore, no camera, no...

After installing ROM 1.42.00 WWE on my Qtek 9090 there are some things which don't work anymore:

- I can't connect with GPRS, MMS & modem anymore

- WMP10 can't play wma, .mp3, ... files anymore

- Camera does not work anymore

- Only the default ringtone can be used, no other one...

Can this be fixed?

If not, which ROM version is OK to downgrade? Where can I find it?

Thx!!

Hello all, Good to finally be here! Just came from an S3. :)

I'm obviously going to do much digging in the dev forums but off the top of your heads whats the best ROM for my preferences below:

I enjoy Blue themed ROM's

I have a S-view enabled case (Spigen Slim Armor View) so I need S-view (Does that mean ASOP ROMs are out of the question or did they build S-view into them for the S4?)

Overclocking available

Note: The ROM doesn't have to come blue themed, just be able to flash a blue theme over top of the ROM.

Thanks all! :)

EDIT: Also whats the best root method for this device? If theres more than one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Research. Your questions have all been asked, even the one that's not allowed; which ROM is best for *. Most every ROM thread has screenshots in the very first post that will say if it's blue or not as well as tell you whether it's TouchWiz or AOSP along with listing the features it has. It will take a little more digging to see if AOSP supports S-View; though not much more. The kernel OPs will mention whether they are overclockable (what good is a custom kernel if you can't overclock it anyway?) There is no "best" root method. Any of the rooting methods found here will certainly work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:

Rom is a matter of preferences, there's no "best" ROM just what's best for you. I'm guessing for S-view you'll need to stick with a TW bass ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SemiGamer:
Thank you for the friendlier answer and the link mate!

Not sure how "I'm going to do some research as well but" was missed in my OP but eh. Was asking for recommendations for me to check out first since I'm sure some ROMs are more stable than others just like every other phone that I usually spend a week flashing ROM's to find the stable ones, thought maybe someone could help me narrow that first week of flashing down and meet people on this forum as people do on my previous phone' forums but that doesn't seem the way to go over here I guess. Oh well getting used to the community comes with a new device.

Thanks for the help anyhow, Mods may close this thread.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
I had HTC Desire for nearly 3 years, and it is a great phone, but I think it is time to upgrade, because:

- it is annoyingly slow with my regular set of programs installed, even on fastest available roms

- it doesn't have kernel 3.0, and because of that JB roms have shortcomings

- a little bit too small screen for GPS navigation

- really crappy camera

- somewhat short battery life

Some time ago I had a chance to look at Galaxy S2 in person and it looked like a perfect phone (at least for 2 minutes I had it in my hands).

Somewhat bigger screen, more internal storage, kernel 3.0.

I use custom roms, so big development community is important for me. I have been spoiled by Desire as it (still) has a large one.

Galaxy S2 would cost me around 170-200 euro to get it.

Should I take that, or look for something else in this price range?

My requirements:

- larger screen (not necessarily much larger)

- android (duh)

- solid build quality

- large development community

- noticeably faster CPU than Desire (Dual+ core would come in handy)

- microUSB

- good/very good camera

- good battery life

- price up to 200 euro (used)

- would be nice if it had FM transmitter (not receiver) but it is not necessary

- it must by BLACK or therebout
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebird24h:
I also considered s2 but there's one serious setback to it. Namely, the screen is amoled and without pentile matrix.

What's bad about it you ask? pixels that are frequently used lose color and items that you have on screen for most time are somewhat paler than the rest of the screen, and you can see their shadow for the whole time, ppl reported that with all amoled displays and non pentile of s2 is even more susceptible to that. That happens even to devices 3 months old, depending on how heavily they are used I guess. You can google it to see for yourself, just type galaxy s2 amoled burn in. There are also few good YouTube vids showing that. Items that you usually can see are burned in status bar, soft keys from your most used app, keyboard, alarm icon and "fully charged" sign across the screen as during night charging the phone lights up when battery is full and keeps the screen on until you turn it off or unplug it/on some ROMs at least, stock including/.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Is Desire not affected by that?

Then what else would you suggest?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebird24h:
Only first edition of desire pvt1 I believe had amoled screens, the rest are sporting slcd which is not organic and does not suffer from this burn in effect.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Go for SGS2+. It is newer phone, available almost at the same price as SGS2, probably have warranty and no burn-in effect of any major cosmetic wear.

But I think there is no black variant, but dark blue.

Price is 200-230 EUR.

If you want a dev community supporting your device, avoid htc phones. HTC is terribly slow when it comes to releasing updates and sources.

If I helped, hit the thanks button! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcsfragg:
What you like

I disagree with you. But again, it is on him to pick something that he likes. We are here to suggest him.

I like HTC Because of Sense,speed (on some new devices) new features big rom list's etc. I dont like samsung bcs every new phone (LG,ZTE,Nokia,Sony, and many more) are copy of Samsung,Same android UI, same phone design i will say. JUST A COPY .

HTC Have some original from begining of production for me that is a great and like i sayed i will suggest you to buy some HTC Model (HTC One X, HTC Sensation.not new but very good, HTC One v (it is not so special but it is very good,speed, and it is very Cheap)

But if you want to buy some other phone mark Yes i will suggest you to but SGSII or SGSIII Mini. Mini have small Display but have great camera great speed great support and what is importatt you can find it for 170/80 Eur :D

If i helped something to you give FIRST THANKS to my profile :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
+1 for the sensation, i baught mine used for 100 euro and its like brand new, i got it off a guy cheap coz it was stuck in bootloader lol, i got it home, flashed a ruu then s-off & rooted :D and it has great dev support, loads of sense roms, 3.5 - 3.6 - 4.1 - 4+ and now waiting for team venom to release sense 5. Also loads of JB - AOSP roms and 4.3 JB roms, really is a great phone with good hardware to handle all roms.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebird24h:
About sensation, the newer roms have working camera/video or is it stuck with that issue like our old desires?

And how do you cope without the trackpad, I tend to write lengthy emails/forum posts and it's a great tool when I want too correct something, yet no other phone has it. does it mean trouble for guys like me?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
everything works, and i never really used trackpad on the desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
I would never buy sensation. Death grip issues and dust under screen glass is way too much for me. Sgs2+ is ftw in my opinion.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Meh, I am stuck.

I read around here that s2 display is horrible when compared to s3.

s3 has even cheaper feel, and is 100-170e more expensive

Sensation is useless to me.

Price of S4 is absurd...

What bout One X/S? In ireland they going for bout 175 - 225 euro, good all round phone and fairly solid.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
One S would be good bargain, but no official 4.2.2 for him. He is eol already, unfortunately. One X is expensive, like S3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
My friend is selling his One X for 200 euro in mint condition, he dont use it, its just sitting in his drawer. I was gona buy it but i always wanted a sensation lol. If ur interested i could say to him, he has it a while so maybe i can get it cheaper for u. Postage would be round 10 euro. Let me know :)

P.S - im not dodgy r that, user k3lcior had no gps antenna so i gave him mine from my desire (coz my desire is dead), free of charge, and i posted it to poland. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgamesx1:
well if I may make a suggestion, I would say get the Nexus 4

Pros: (according to what you listed)

larger screen and clearer screen

will always have the latest and greatest Android OS since its from Google

I don't remember the build quality on it but I know its at least better than the desire

haven't checked the dev support but since its a bit more open.... should still be better than the desire

very fast 1.5GHz quad-core CPU

microUSB

8MP camera and a 1.3MP front cam

decent 2,100 mAh battery

and most importantly it comes in Black

Cons:

its $300 which about 224 euros (so slightly over budget although sorta worth it)

no FM trasmitter

limited storage and no SD card expansion

so really its an amazing phone, its mainly only brought down by not having an SD card slot but if you find the 8 or 16GB models fine then I'd say go for it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Great price. In croatia, there's no HOX under 250 EUR. If I wasn't get SXZ, would buy this one x.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Well, the HOX is unavailable, so I am still looking.

One S looked good until I realised it had no expendable memory. Right now, I am leaning towards SGS3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humzaahmed155:
Have you considered a HTC Butterfly? W/ expandable memory
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
IMHO, SGS3 have horrible design and awful plastic feel in hand. But, if you dont mind that, go for it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humzaahmed155:
Yup I second that, I have an siii and the build quality is just downright awful, that phone is the reason why ill never choose Samsung again /:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
If I had this kind of budget, I could just get SGS4.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humzaahmed155:
Ah yes, I forgot about the SGS3's price drop, have you considered a Nexus 4?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Yes. Unexpandable 16gb, weak camera and not too good of a screen make it not much use to me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Than go for SGS3. He is good in every segment except design and built quality.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
16 GB are enough, trust me. Camera isn't as bad as people say it is. It's better than the Desire's. What's wrong with the screen? It's brilliant!

I would recommend the Nexus 4 over the S3. It's better in every way except the camera.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
2 of my friends baught an S3 and both broke after dropping it once, so for me even if i had that kinda money id stay away just for that reason. Also i know a guy who works for three (mobile company) and he said the S3 is a great phone, the biggest problem they had with it was people bringing them back for screen repair
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
What do you mean by 'trust me'? In my Deisre, I have a 16gb card and between GPS maps, hiking maps, podcasts and backups, I am constantly out of space.

16gb isn't enough, trust me.

Being better than Desire's isn't a prise. You can buy better cameras than Desire in a grocery store.

I use it often as GSP outdoors, and need good screen legibility in sunlight.

No. Why would you buy a phone that's been out for two yrs ? Get an S3 or S4 if you want a Samsung phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syahrul37:
Galaxy Nexus may fit your needs..:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Because I don't care how long the phone has been out, but how well it suits my needs.

Plus, S3 and S4 are surely more expensive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadmetaphor:
Personally, between S2, S3 and S4, I would recommend the S3. (Although it wouldn't fit the budget, unless there are some offers!)

Mainly because it is relatively newer and you can expect new Android upgrades from Samsung (at least KLP) for it. Samsung has already announced that 4.2.2 will be the last update for S2, according to samfirmware. And with so many (mainly, codeworkx) developers not showing much love for Samsung devices of late, I am sure it would take that much longer to get custom ROMs updates.

If you do decide on S2, it is a really good device!! Great build, great design etc. But I suggest you buy the OMAP variants (i9100G), as it has better support from development community. Owing mainly to TI playing nice compared to Samsung (Exynos).

Several developers are not happy with Samsung's support for Exynos devices and Samsung's lack of support for the dev community of late. For me, this is a major concern.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Why are you advising the guy to get the g variant?.There was almost a riot in your country a year ago when suppliers were giving out g variant models instead of the plain gti9100 model.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadmetaphor:
Oh, if I wasn't clear: Right now I would prefer to use an S3. But if I had a fixed budget and decided on S2, I would by the G variant. -- This is what I meant.

Honestly, I thought those 'riots' were because Samsung decided to slip in the G variant very slyly. No intimation of any sort to the buyers.

I have read about the lower bechmarks on i9100G etc. Any other difference that goes against the i9100G? (Sorry that I am hijacking the thread, just wanted to know)

The g has a lot less development than the plain gti9100,unless something changed on here in the last 2 months.And the models are based on regions(supposedly).
