[Desire Themes and Apps] Macca2805:
I know the issues with the Market, where Android has to add the device to its register for it to be allowed to download certain applications. Does this still happen for the Desire? It appears to because I've followed links from the web to the market (such as eBay) only to find the market is telling me it doesn't exist.

What can I do to fix this? Will I need to root? My guess is it couldn't be to dissimilar to spoofing a user-agent in a web-browser...

Any help is appreciated.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Hasn't the newest problem been fixed? There was a problem with apps that had been updated/added to the market.

Which apps aren't you able to see?

[Desire Themes and Apps] Macca2805:
The eBay android application. I followed the link on their website and the market said there was no application. I searched the market to no avail either.

It's happened with half a dozen other applications as well.

I still can't find the Google Earth app - On latest Orange F/W
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Is that an official eBay app or the Bonfire Media version? Can't see an official one, but can see BM one.

You'll have to have a FroYo or Nexus rom for Google Earth. Only available on Nexus, but there are a lot of .apk files of floating around the internet. :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] probepower:
Hi all,

i don't know if i posts this one in the right topic, but i really need to flash my Diamond to the Czech language...

At the moment the Diamond is running the official Dutch rom, but since i got myself the HD2, my collegue wants to take over my old Diamond. The problem is that he is a Czech...

So, i see 2 possibilities...

1) Someone knows a location of a Czech ROM for the Diamond or,

2) Someone can provide me a serial number of a Diamond wich has an official Czech ROM so i can download the most recent release from the HTC site.

Please, could someone help me out with this one?

In either case, the phone is allready HSPL'ed so flashing a new ROM is not a problem.

Grz, Erwin

[HD Mini General] izov:
Hello,

I have an HD mini with 1.32 and when I am talking a hear a sissling sound (fshshshsh) from the speakerphone. The original ROM was 1.07, but I was so excited to upgrade that I didn't test the speakerphone with the original ROM, but updated immediately. Anybody facing the same issues? Any resolution?

Thanks!

i realized that AFTER i had clicked submit lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Also, does it work on the Vogue...? Says it doesn't on the G1 or Tattoo which doesn't make it seem hopeful.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] margosmark:
Older builds did, but very unusable as the interface did not work at all with the 240x320 resolution (by old I mean even before nightlies were being built). When I last tried nightlies, they do not, it loads to a black screen and closes no error pop up or anything. Though I have not tried again in the past couple of weeks, but I doubt they are gonna change much in regards to working with our devices, as tehy are targetting at least right now for the droid and n1 (dont know if they added more to the list).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
try it with warm eclair 320x480 then
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Evengard:
I have an HTC Magic with CyanogenMod (android 2.1) - the nightly builds still doesn't run. It seems to be related to the fact that HTC Magic uses a processor with ARMv6 instruction set, and Fennec requires ARMv7. Basically, I think a simple rebuild will help...

downloading now. gonna try it on my hero. thanks bro! :)

naaah

doesnt work on my legend :/

any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] TrevE:
Guys who came from hero probably know us, damage & I have been havin fun releasing damagecontrol rom for awile now and have upgraded to evo. We have already been working hard on a new version over here. Ive got some test code running already and am looking for a few trustworthy testers who arent afraid to get in logcat and trace stuff & provide useful feedback seeing all my old testers are still on hero. Hit me up if your interested in helping in the next few days.

no clue why ddms is piss yellow screencaps, oh well.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Lol, that was my first thought, 'wtf yellow?'.
[EVO 4G General] hoopsdavis:
Hey Trev, good to see you guys moved over to the EVO, I enjoyed your ROMs on the Hero. I'd be willing to test your ROM.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
I used your guys roms exclusily on the hero...I would love to test a dc rom on the evo...good to see ya on the evo side.

I would also be willing to give you a place to dump your roms to so others can download them...let me know.
[EVO 4G General] dagnasty:
Ex-Hero user here and I was a DC ROM user. Can't wait to see what you can do with the Evo. I would love to test anything you're working on.

For those who know nothing about your roms... do you have some post with info or would you mind filling an Android nubie in?
[General Questions and Answers] zexxy:
well, this issue is not about rooting things..

(sorry about my english..)

I have Motorola Milestone(manufacture unlocked) currently installed Android os 2.01.

I was trying to upgrade it to 2.1 using Motorola software update program. I followed instructions (connect device to pc.. battery must fully charged things...) but on screen shows me Operator : N/A Model : N/A

then some msg appear that there is no version to upgrade. I didn't bought this phone from my carrier i got this phone from Motorola launching show as gift so theres no warranty at all (what motorola customer centre rep told me :'(??) so i have no idea how to upgrade my OS. Does anyone know why it keep happen?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Guys,

I've been following the Galaxy S forum over at hardwarezone.com and one topic that's struck up is to do with the type of battery the Asian guys are finding in their phones.

The Asian release seems to have the G7 Battery, whereas the one that GSMArena reviewed and gave a high 7hrs 25mins video time was a G9.

It will be interesting to hear what type will be shipped to the rest of the world.

As and when you get your phone can you please post the battery info.

Here's a pic of the one from GSMArena
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Thanks Beard for opening a thread. In regards to the battery, below is the information printed on the battery.

EB575152VU

1500mAh

5.55Wh (printed next to the 1500mAh)

S/N: AA1Z512oS/5-B

生产日期 (Meaning Date of manufacture) 2010-05-12

G7

The position of the above is similar to the above image, except with the additional 5.55Wh printed on.

Regarding the battery life, a number of us do experience short battery life. However this is very subjective, for the reasons that each one perception of short or long is difference, and each one's personal usage pattern is different. But one thing I am pretty certain, whatever GSMArena had tested, we here will not be able to replicate the same results.

Therefore, I will be very interested to know how the rest of the countries, US, Europe, or even the Middle East will have in the battery.

I hope users could share their information over here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Many thanks g00ndu. Again appreciated.

I also left you a 'Thanks' in the AndroidForum. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mbr01:
Check this site, all the way at the bottom.

hardwarezone.com/product-guide/view/20283/review/43433/page:4

De GS does 418 minutes (=7 hours) in that test. With the following settings:

So thats the second source stating that de battery life is good. Those bad comments from singapore are all from new batteries, they need to be charged about 5 times to reach their full capacity.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Perhaps so, what was played is a 240x320 video. I wonder if we can maintain the same length of time if a HD video is played.

Besides, usage for each one varies, and still there is a subjectivity in the test. The tendency of playing with a new phone (especially I'm a noob in android phone) will be a lot more. I'm still keeping my finger crossed here, though. Haha, worst case scenario, I can always get a backup battery, unlike some fruity phones I know. :p

Please do share the information whoever has the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
It's just a placebo effect. There's no difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m3keni:
hmmmm.. battery ohh battery.. why are you so.. hehehe

in reality the battery life of Galaxy S is not so great.

wish samsung or 3rd party will produce or manufacture high capacity battery for the phone.. hmmmm.. like seidio (innocell) for example.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Waiting on that too hehe.

:D

mine is G7, received from UK Handtec
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m3keni:
yup yup.. hopefully in the near future. :cool:

have you tried draining your battery then charge it fully 5 times.. not in one go.. read information online where they say that you need to charge it 5 times to fully get the battery working at 100% capacity. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Yes, I'm not sure how GSMArena got hold ogf that G9 battery.

Mine too is a G7.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FrezoreR:
Mine is G7 and ordered from the UK.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Mine is g7 as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
G7 too, from Handtec. I have found that over several months of using my HD2, about the same average usage, the battery life does seem to have improved. So I'm expecting better results from this one over time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ras.mobiel:
Here (The Netherlands) also G7
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Straputsky:
First: Whats the difference between "G7" and "G9"?

Second: I don't understand the problem. (Referring to the initial post: "The Asian release seems to have the G7 Battery, whereas the one that GSMArena reviewed and gave a high 7hrs 25mins video time was a G9.")

gsmarena test:

hardwarezone test:

Different testing conditions, different results...

I claim that even the content of the video itself will play a significant role. AMOLED uses less power for darker scenes and most for very bright scenes. So it's something different if I play a horror movie or a comedy.

All in all: Is there a real difference between G7 and G9 or did you just claim it cause of the different results?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Anything special about the "G8" battery version? Found it here (it's number 67 in the list):

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...der=samsung+galaxy+S+samsung+galaxy+S+battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
No idea, that's why I asked what batteries others were getting so that we could then ascertain the differences.

I was not suggesting there was a problem and I'm not that bothered myself about these test either.

All I want to try and achieve is:-

a) Are there two batteries (G7 & G9)

b) If there are indeed two batteries, is there any differences in both performance and hot running.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vrhunski:
@beards

I agree
[Galaxy S I9000 General] King Canute:
My battery is also a G7, and my phone was bought in Scandinavia.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sim87:
my Vodafone UK 16gb GS came with a G7, it doesn't last a full day

**update**

After charging for around a week, it now lasts a lot longer, i can get a full day of normal use ie. a few phone calls a few texts, browsing the internet for around 30 mins and some application use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Straputsky:
Ah, alright. Now I get the point. Thought there are some supposed differences.

The only thing you should be bothered about is, that your team will earn some air tickets on Sunday... :p

Battery Question

Does the galaxy s use a different kind of battery then other samsung phones? I ask because some HTC phones can use the same battery (like hero battery for evo).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] almand3000:
The Units sold in Malaysia through Maxis, contain the G7 Battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Straputsky:

G7, Israel, from clove.co.uk
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Thank you guys.

I think it is safe to assume the initial batches coming out all appear to hold the G7.

I'm going to have a dig around to see if I can come up with some info on what the difference is and how GSMArena got the G9. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wazco:
The G9 is probably on only the pre production models, it might be a case that the G7 is better than the G9, higher numbers arent always better! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tintol:
Another test (supposedly with the G9):

blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-full-battery-test-ready-–-up-with-the-best/

I don't know witch is better, but 3 days with that use is quite good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vrhunski:
yes I just wonder where they buy G9 battery type? Maybe that is for some area (different then other) like US vs EUROPE ...and maybe this is for Asia or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KLoNe1:
The Australian model is being released in 2 days - I hope it's not the G9.

<--- Got the G7 battery in his GS! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dinfung:
mine is also G7 from Hong Kong, haven't really use it long enough to see how long 1batt will last me. But coming from the N900 i am sure it would be better. With a lot of surfing online my N900 is lucky to last 4 -5 hrs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Knobibrot:

My thanks to all those who have contributed but please continue if you wish to add anything further guys. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tintol:
Yesterday I sent an e-mail to Samsung asking the same thing, and if the G9 would be sold as an "upgrade". Their answer:

Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.

[Solution]

It is known that Android devices are often demanding on battery life as

this is the nature of the operating system being very heavy on power

resources for graphics use and for 3g connectivity such as email/social

media sites.

We can advise that Galaxy S will provide the following battery life

depending on the usage as basic guideline.

Talk time 2G : Up to 12.9Hr / 3G : Up to 6.5Hr

Standby time 2G : Up to 750Hr / 3G : Up to 652Hr

Mp3 Play Up to 25.9Hr

LCD Up to10.3Hr

SMS Up to 8.2Hr

Game (Tetris) Up to 7.7Hr

Wap 3G : Up to 5.6Hr

Camera Up to 3.9Hr

Camcorder Play Up to 6.8Hr

Camcorder recording Up to 3.2Hr

As summed up in the GSM Arena review "the battery life of the Galaxy S

shouldn’t be something to worry about. " but this will obviously depend

on individual usage patterns.

Question: the baterry type it's Li-Ion or Li-Po ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
It really is Li-Ion, or they printed a lie on my battery. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Slorks:
Mine is the G7 and i got it from Kuwait, Middle East..

its really bad battery dies out too quickly :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
Yeah, I have to agree. The battery is pretty disappointing. Hoping we get a hi-cap battery for this one soon. I'm getting less than 12 hours on a charge. The one thing I didn't do this time around was condition the battery right out of the box. Usually I let it deep cycle 3 times and that seems to give me very good results. In the meantime I'm going to try to buy a second battery to do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] couped:
Contrary to popular belief this perception of multiple charges is completely false. NiCad batteries had this sort of effect with setting up the charges.

However, Lithium batteries do not follow this sort of path. Their charge pattern often has minimal to no effect on the actual life of the battery. Often it is the devices interpretation of charge value that fails.

Li-On resource
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
You're missing the point.

The 5-7 cycles thing we are recommending here is not to prolong the overall life of the battery (time untill it dies completely and needs to be disposed), like nicad batteries had (also, the long intial charge and stuff)

It's to start the functional life-cycle of the battery.

Every single one of the members here reports a dramatic increase in time between charges after doing some charge-drain cycles, i don't believe we are all hallucinating.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMW597:
I agree. It doesn't matter if it's Li-On or Ni-cad, it needs to be "conditioned" in order to get the max charge out if it with each cycle. I've always treated Li-On batteries as Ni-Cad and the it does help for sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
Regarding samsung answer I agree with the 10h with the lcd up

I will to test the other usage as video and mp3 today

hi mine is a G7

Bought in Sweden

-TB-
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Highl1:
Also G7, phone bought in Serbia
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BenF1:
Mine's a G7.

Looks like I need to wait a few charge cycles before I can get the full potential out of my battery. Its struggling through a day at the moment :(

Im running 2.2, which could be affecting it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
G7 on my i9000 purchased in Singapore.

I think part of the reason it's recommended to do the multiple deep-cycle type charging on our Android phones isn't to "condition" the battery itself, it's to "condition" the phone's batterystats.bin file. A lot of people with complaints of battery life problems on other Androids report better life after wiping the battery stats on the phone and then doing a few deep-cycles.

Also, I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but I believe that posts like "I get 2 days battery with normal use" are totally meaningless and actually detract from the conversation. Here's why: what the heck is "normal" use? There's no context for others to go by. Is "normal" for you to make three phone calls and send two text messages? "Normal" for me is to have 6 background apps syncing data all day long, to send 100 text messages, make a few phone calls, download some podcasts, listen to podcasts and music a lot, check Google maps for traffic before hitting the road, and read emails from multiple accounts. "Normal" for other people might be heavier use or less. Vague adjectives only frustrate others who think their "normal" use is the same as yours and they get far less battery. Until someone defines a table of definitions as to what is "light", "moderate", "normal", "heavy", "extreme" use (or whatever else adjectives we use), it's pretty pointless to throw those terms out there in this type of discussion unless you describe what your use is.

If your battery sucks for you, check the About screen in Settings and see if there's something sucking battery unexpectedly. Some apps are just brutal on the battery for no comprehendible reason (BeyondPod is one for me on my Nexus One). You may just have to use a different app, or turn off the frequency of some of your online syncing services (do you really need facebook updates in real time?). ;-)

Turn off WiFi, bluetooth if you're not using them. Use auto brightness if you can, or force dimmer if you can put up with it on the display.

Battery life in general on smartphones/app-phones/super-phones just plain sucks for most people. Get used to it, especially with the move to ligeter-weight, thinner designs with bigger and brighter screens and smaller batteries to fit in the smaller housing. For most users you're just going to have to get used to carrying a spare battery, buying an extra-capacity battery, or keeping a charger/usb-cable in all the places you frequent. I have a desktop charger at my office, in my home, and 1-amp car chargers in my car. I also keep a USB cable in my friends' cars that I ride around with frequently - they're only a couple of dollars. If I'm near any of these chargers and my phone is anywhere below 50% charge, it gets plugged in while I can. I don't run out of juice in the middle of the day in awkward situations this way. For all my iPhones and my Nexus One I bought extra-capacity batteries/external battery cases for extended trips away from a charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Liko2k:
Mine is G7 which is basically the same as G9 - they have different symbols to distinguish the parts of the world they are sold in. I bought mine in Ireland :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
G8 Korea, I never saw this post, and now it seems Beards did put this to rest a bit, but I had already started the multiquote by the time I read that, anyways...

Here's the thing though, yes you do get bettery (I'll leave the typo) battery after doing cycles. HOWEVER, the way cycles work with li-on is that you don't need to drain to 100% to fully cycle. So 5 X 20% drains = 4 x 25% = 3 X 33% = 2 X 50% = 1 X 100% drain. The amount of charge you run down in between charges, is irrelevant to how the cycle works. (BIG) HOWEVER, running down to 100% stresses li-on batteries, running down to less than 50% has shown to have better end of life performance on li-ion batteries.

*please note, I do not claim to be an expert but after I read that running my original iPhone battery 100% like I used to do with my laptops was indeed bad for its life I did a few hours of research. Also, I don't claim that 3-8 full cycles from 0-100% will have a significant impact after 1 year of use, but I figure it's better to stress the battery when I don't have access to power than at the beginning of the battery's life.*

Hope that helped and that I have my facts and interpretations straight.
