[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
On the fence - returning iPhone4 for Galaxy S ??

Hello guys

I have just upgraded my Hero to an iPhone4.

BUT

I am considering returning it and getting the Galaxy S.

I LOVE the build quality of the iPhone, but was REALLY disappointed by the design flaw which causes you to completely lose a signal if you hold the phone cupped in your left hand. Insane! I almost chose the i9000 but was worried about slight laggyness, something I despise about my Hero (used dozens of ROMS, and all are crap compared to my wife's iphone fluidity)

Here is my list of advantages of each alternative:

GALAXY S GOOD

interchangeable battery

external memory

generic usb connect

4 inch screen

faster GPU and overall phone power - but not more responsive - gaming?

adobe flash

drag and drop music to phone (MTP)

widgets on interface

proper multitasking

snooze for calendar events

mark many emails as read

facebook sync with any contact

divx / xvid / wmv / wma / flac etc

can record video to SD card

front facing camera wil probably be OPEN to 3rd party developers, and not hogged, like I imagine the front camera on iPhone will be restricted in use for FaceTime only.

IPHONE GOOD

smoother 720p playback (of stuff that was recorded by internal camera)

camera flash

very good build quality

interface no lag / very little

better quality 3rd party apps

app store sync with phone via itunes fast and good (better than downloading apps from phone)

Im going to wait a few more days, see if the iPhone grows on me beyond my disappointment, and also wait for a few more i9000 reviews to come out.

cheers,

Mark.

I had this feature with my TP2, and used it a lot.

Is there any mod of some sort I can install on my EVO 4G to allow the speakerphone to automatically activate when the phone is facedown?

I'm sure others would be interested in this as well.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
yea there definitely is because it worked like that on the hero, someone will make it happen hopefully
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kylelerner:
I did not know that about the Hero!

Hopefully some awsome members here at xda could port that mod/app to the Evo sometime soon...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kylelerner:
bump!

I'm curious to know if anyone else has heard anything about re-instating this feature on the EVO 4G!

Thanks

Me too why would they remove features out of sense?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] J3wBaccA:
i'm interested in this too, loved it on my tp2
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
it's 3am, in my bed, talking to someone (doesn't matter to who, that's not the point here). i flip to my side, incidentally making my phone's orientation matching the criteria - facing down, out the blue now i'm on speaker (!)... lol, not that i'd be doing this but this is one case where this "feature" would be more of a "bug"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Minjin:
I'd imagine you could code it not to look for a certain orientation, but to look for a rate of change of the Z axis that would indicate that it suddenly stopped face down on a surface. If it is coded like that, in your scenario you would only trigger it if you brought it off your face than slapped yourself with the phone. The impulse you get from a hard object is much different from a soft object and I imagine that for most people, they're talking about tables and counter tops here which are much harder than your face.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] soxozor:
It would be based off of the proximity sensor.

Awesome! +3 Just what I wanted.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] revlis240:
does anyone know if there is a way to hang up without turning the screen back on? Sometimes when driving and talking on the speakerphone its such a pain to wake the screen and then press end. Sometimes the other end hangs up and i end up pressing a button on the home screen instead. annoying not having a hard button for hanging up!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ajfromuk:
Anyone know where the exe for the manillia people app is?

I am using Co0kie monsters excellent homescreen and prefer to link my individual contacts on each of the quick links, but want to put a quick link to the manillia people app and not the horrid WinMo contacts app but other than being on the homescreen tabs can really find the program to make a shortcut to it on the device...

Any help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gwbard:
Why not simply "slide left" to go directly to the people page? (by default it is the second tab)

--or-- make a shortcut link to \windows\manila.exe --switchtopage people.page

then touch "All People" to load the detail page. There may also be a shortcut to load the All People detail app directly, but I don't know of it, sorry...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ajfromuk:
Cheers for the reply... I was trying to get my tabs as minimul as possible to only 4 and the settings :D plus I dont like the big people icons on the people tab normally... will try to make a shortcut, cheers :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aoakes:
i believe there are mods to do that in the tweaks, you make the icon smaller and transparent. otherwise hide the tab completely by sliding over to the right for settings tab. click on personalize then home screen tabs. uncheck and clear the boxes of all the unwanted tabs. just make a shortcut at your home screen. i generally just hit phone at the bottom in the menu to get to my phonebook.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] cococosti:
Hello,

I have bought the VPA Compact from a friend in Germany, but I would like to use some italian ROMs, because on the device there was a bepi German ROM with WM5.

So I decided to change ROM; I found the HardSPL, but I didn't care about the fact that the Olipro HardSPL was not installed yet.

Then I putted on the device two italian ROMs, and all seemed ok, because I have installed Claros 3.51 ROM and another one with WM6.1, with also a new RADIO 1.46.11 (or 1.46.10).

Three days ago I saw on Internet about the possibility to put into my device a WM 6.1 Elegance ROM by eLIas, so, ignoring that I need to have Olipro HardSPL, I started to put the WM 6.1 Elegance, but the flashing has not finished well.

In that time, I didn't lost my courage, and I started to use MTTY and I found that there were some blocks corrupted.

Then I tried to flash ROM by miniSD card: neither in this way I reached the goal to put a working ROM on my device; because I tried to put old WM5 italian, Claros 3.51 ROM, some HardSPL (1.04 and 1.1).

So, I ask you if there's some possibility to recover the device and put some ROM, or I need to throw it into the basket?

Hope that someone will answer me.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] cococosti:
I wanna say two more things:

everytime I try to flash by WinXP, there is an error (260) from the application utility.

When I try to put a new ROM, the device is turning off after only 1% of progress, and when I try to put an HardSPL, the progress reach 100% and the device is turning off, but I don't see any new change...

Thanks in advance for reading and replying

Hi, it's me again, the guy who made the big mistake of updating to the official 2.1 from HTC (and still looking for a solution, BTW).

I'm having some trouble with my HTC. When I plug my headphones (not the original ones), it works fine. But, when I unplug it, the phone keeps the headset mode.

Any suggestion or app for solving this?

Thanks in advance:D:D

[Off-topic] Flawd:
I'm sorry if this is posted anywhere, but I spent a couple hours last night and another couple hours today searching here and in Google with no luck.

-Skip me for TL;DR-

I got a G1 when they first came out, and rooted it as soon as I could. I ran JF1.5 then JF1.6 then after a while upgraded to Cyanogen. It was great and my GF still uses it and loves it. I got a Nexus One about a month after they came out and I've been in love. I haven't went to Cyanogen since, only because the stock rom has been great and I haven't needed any extra features yet.

Now that 720p is available along with a few other things I'd like, I want to upgrade finally.

-TL;DR end-

Basically I'm trying to say I'm not an idiot or very new to loading roms and toying with an Android device.

From past experiences I basically know the process of root/recovery/rom etc.

I loaded froyo onto the phone when it was available via the stock recovery console and an update.zip ... no problems.

Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader.

Installed Modaco's superboot.

And used fastboot to push recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img

After that I turned the phone on, and logged in to check it out and make sure I had root. Everything was running great (Froyo saves your app installs in the cloud!!!) and I did, in fact, have root. All seemed well.

-The Problem-

Now, I can't load any more update.zip files. Nothing at all. Stock rom, modded rom, rom updates, anything. When I try to install any update.zip I get the following output:

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

At the top of the recovery screen it reads: Android system recovery <3e>

If that makes any difference....

NOTE: I can still use fastboot to push new recovery images, which I've tried.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowstar:
I have made ported a theme for the desire.

I have been told, by the developer of the theme, that I must release in an update.zip form (not that we have any other choice) and the rom must not be installable on it's own, ie: if I were to flash the rom, I would only change the themed apk's, nothing more.

It is for cyanogen, so they would have to flash cyanogen, then my theme. It shouldn't work if they just flash my theme. So how would I accomplish this? should I just create a .zip file with /system/app/.apk? Do I need "boot.img (whatever that is)? And will it just flash over the new files. Please help so I can release this fast!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lambstone:
Ouch. I guess you ignored the "Make sure your battery is over 50% and plugged in" warning. Its called a warning for a reason you know.

If you were flashing a custom rom, try entering the recovery mode. If it works, you're still saved. If it doesn't then you will have to send it for repairs which you would then have to pay for since you voided your warranty by trying to flash a custom rom.

If you were however flashing the official upgrade, send it in for servicing and put the blame on the official update and they should help fix it up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xtcislove:
Your phone start in ANY mode? Fastboot mode, recovery etc etc if one of these run your phone is NOT bricked =)

And if u only flashed a ROM i dont think u bricked your phone with this! I can flash a hero rom to my Desire :D I think it wont brick! But if i flash a Radio..... This happend not while flashing a Radio? Or did u flashed the wrong Hboot/Recovery/Radio what was not for your Phone?

The Droid Incredible was recently rooted. The link to the method is here:

http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:adb_in_recovery

Anybody want to take a look and see if it has potential to be tailored to the Eris to grant root access to leakers? I don't have any vested interest in it myself, but I thought it might help.

EDIT: I'm not suggesting anybody try this in its current state. A word for non-devs: don't go bricking your phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sincidius:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure people were on this as soon as the news broke. Might be a hint in there somewhere. Another thing I was thinking about was the RUU that came out to flash the OTA and if they could be set up like the hardSPL(?) prompt that was used when flashing HTC Windows Mobile phones. I never got too deep into creating roms besides extracting builds and researching.
