[Galaxy S I9000 General] Difusal:
you all can just unlock your phones by yourselves... there are a lot of tutorials

quoting from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939752:

8. Unlocking your phone.

8.1. Get the /efs/nv_data.bin file from your device to your computer. You can do this either with adb or by copying the file to your SD card with "Root Explorer" and then copying it over to your machine from the SD (Be sure to keep a backup of this file and the /efs/.nv_data.bin.md5 file.)

8.2. Open up the file in a hex editor, go to the address 0x181468, where you will see something like this:

FF 01 00 00 00 00 46 46 46...

We are interested in that first '01', that means the phone is locked. Just change it to '00' and save the file. Copy it back to your SD card and then with "Root Explorer" back to it's original location. Then remove the .nv_data.bin.md5 file and restart the device (Again, be sure to make copies of these files before modifying or deleting them!). After this, you should be able to insert any SIM card into your device and it should work without the need for any further hacks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Monkeywoman:
I have downloaded FlexHex and I have the file open but I only see two lines of txt. If i go to the address 181468 nothing is there. tips?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rbasior:
Big thanks!!.

That's methods work's fine. My Vibrant is unlocked. Thank You !

Sory for my english.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kewl_samurai:
i dont see this address

I have japan docomo galaxy s, i downloaded the nv_data.bin file but i dont see address 0x181468, my file has max address 00080010, and even i searched the string in hex file but could not find the string mentioned.

Can anyone send me unlocked nv_data.bin file?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdewy:
In fact it is not network PIN. It is related to your handset only.

Whenever you purchase a new device its PIN is set to 0000/0000/1234/12345. In case you handset ask you to enter the same try anyone of this. This will lock your handset. In case you have set some other number enter the same. But make sure you do not enter wrong PIN again and again.

In case handset get lock you need to contact service center or local market. or try some professional software to SIM unlock Android phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] crimper:
Both VPNC (e.g. get-a-robot-vpnc) and OpenVPN require tun.ko kernel module to work. The module is included in most popular ROMs but obviously not a part of SE kernel which we have to live with now.

Loading a tun.ko compiled for other kernels fails with a following message, for example:

adb shell dmesg

"tun: version magic '2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 preempt mod_unload ARMv7' should be '2.6.29-rel preempt mod_unload ARMv7".

I tried to see if I could compile the module myself from the posted SE kernel source and using this post as a reference - xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5692491&postcount=12, but I'm lost in git and cross-compile toolchain. I also tried changing "2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2" to "2.6.29-rel" in the existing module with a hex editor, but that made the module invalid.

So, I wonder if someone could help?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alx5962:
you need to recompile the kernel module (luckily kernel sources are available)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pepouwek:
Please help

I don't know how to recompile kernel. Can you send this file here into forum? And tell us, inferior people who just want to use openvpn, how to put this file there it should be?

Why every linux/unix issue ends with advice "just recompile kernel" or "RTFM"... I don't know how to recompile it and don't know where is that f...g manual. If you mean google, please don't say that.

Thank you very much :o
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alx5962:
luckily for you, I made a guide in this board about how to recompile the kernel :)

Also in this topic about recompiling the kernel and there's infos about openvpn there too (search button will help).

And don't talk about inferior people, I really wish it was very easy to add all those stuffs but unluckily it's not. I can help you even if you're lost about kernel recompiling but I can't do all the stuffs for you.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thor2002ro:
how about searching instead of opening new thread......

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7054292&postcount=17

someone close this useless thread....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
We can't use a different kernel to the stock one yet, and there's no point in recompiling the 2.6.29 kernel again, as the devs are trying to run the 2.6.32 one instead for froyo - tun.ko probably should be compiled with this instead. (in fact, I think froyo is able to be run already)

I think the custom spl/bootloader now needs to be tweaked by goroh_kun, Bin4ry, jerpelea etc. to:

- Be autobooted or flashed safely

- To be stable when run

- To be able to boot to a recovery partition and/or bootloader with a key combination

Also, I think they need to:

-Sort out phone partitioning to be used with the new bootloader and recovery image.

-Then try to fix bugs in the CyanogenMod 6 rom, if there are any 'major' ones.

I think that's what the devs are trying to do.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sim-value:
@hunteron you are not completely right even though you can't boot a complete kernel image you can insert your own modules

Hey, got me a xperia x10i today.

Iv been searching now for many houers on how to install programs on the phone but cant find it..... I want to install .apk files how do i get them into my phone etc?
[XPERIA X10 General] madman13:
Use an app called app installer
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Store the .apk files onto your SD Card. Make sure to have this checked:

Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources

Use a file explorer program such as Astro (Find it in the market) and then navigate to the .apk file on your sdcard. Press on the file and it should start the installation process.

OS version _ 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

Radio version_ 2.08.50.08_2

I understand how to flash and install hardspl and a rom and been reading a whole lot of threads but im still not sure if my current software is compatible to install hardspl on it. i don't want to brick my phone. I know you guys say search but I really have been and being as this is the first time i'm gonna do this im a little confused with everything being said.

So my question is basically can I install hardspl on this version of my phone. Thank you for your time.

[Nexus One General] xguntherc:
Hey guys, Ever since going to FRF83 ad now FRF85b FroYo I've been getting this weird Manual Update listed in the market. Does this mean that certain app cannot be market as Auto Update.

I don't have Any apps checked to Auto Update, so why would I be getting something like Manual update, has anyone seen this?

It's not just the Flick It Game (Great Game, Get it) it's happened about 5 times in the last week or so while updating. I'm not sure what is causing it. I just want em all to say update like before.

Also, when this happens. There's no longer the Update All button at bottom, and I have to do them both one at a time.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
I'm guessing here but I think when something is flagged as Manual Update it means the permissions of the app has changed and must be approved again. This would prevent a dev from making an app update do something you don't agree to..

But like I said thats just a guess.
[Nexus One General] xguntherc:
Well, I don't think anything changed. but it's possible.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Yeah, I saw one of those, it won't include that one in update all because the permissions changed.
[Nexus One General] xguntherc:
are you sure thats what it is, a permission changed. if so thats fine.

I'm just trying to figure it all out, thats all
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
Nope which is why I said it was a guess. It seems to make the most sense to me. If a app only checks the weather but the developer releases an update that wipes you SD card I'm pretty sure you are going to have to approve the permissions.

So like I said I think it's a manual update because you have to acknowledge the changed permissions.
[Nexus One General] tankmorph:
When the permissions change, you must manually update the app, even if you have automatic update checked off. Just a security feature. Going from stock 2.1 to Froyo, you will even get the manual update dialog for Google Maps.

From page 308 of the Android 2.2 Manual:

Market 308

AUG-2.2.0-100 Android User’s Guide

If the application is not set to update automatically, or if the update changes the

permissions it requires, you’re notified you have updates available. Touching the

notification opens the Downloads screen in Market. Each application you’ve

downloaded that has an update available has an Update or Update (manual)

label.

S Touch an application with an Update or Update (manual) label to update it,

after reviewing changes to its permissions if necessary.

S Touch Update all to update all the applications with updates that don’t have

permissions changes.

The Update all button is available only if you have more than one update that

doesn’t require you to approve changes to permissions.

To set whether you’re notified about updated applications

1 On the Android Market home screen, press Menu and touch Downloads.

2 Press Menu and touch Notifications.

3 Select whether or not to be notified of updates to the applications you’ve

downloaded.

4 Touch OK.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
hi,

i just pulled the sd card from my i9000 into my pc and i cant see any file from it...

then i put it back into the phone and navigated with astro filebrowser on it, there are all know android dir on it and one called sd...

I put something into it and only things in this folder i can see on my pc why? I would like to copy photos or music directly to the sd card...

can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
If you try to access your SD card from the External drive folder called "SD" it won't work.

There are 2 drives actually for this phone when you plug it with USB, one is the External sdcard (the 6gb partition that comes with the phone) and the other is the microSD card. Both are in My Computer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
Im not using a USB Cable to acces the sd card, I put the card out of the phone into a cardreader and then I cant see any files on the card only the files in the folder called "sd" on the card but in the phone I see there more folders on the root of the sd card.

On the phone I see following folders in root of the sd card:

albumthumbs

Android

bluetooth

DCIM

....

and one folder called "sd"

Everything in this folder "sd" I can see on my pc but not the folders on the root of the sd card?

why?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
That's because those files and folders you only see on your phone are in fact part of the internal memory and NOT from the microsd card.

The microsd card is in fact the folder named SD.

Your best bet and it is the one I personally use is to leave the card in the phone and attach your phone to the PC via USB.

Once you have 'mounted' the phone you will then see 2 (two) directories.

One directory will be the internal memory (roughly 5.6GB) and the other the microsd card.

On mine it shows as drives E & F.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
Sorry on my phone it isnt that way.

On the root of my phone there is folder called "sdcard" in this one I can find this folders:

albumthumbs

Android

bluetooth

DCIM

....

and one folder called "sd"

only things in the folder "sd" are visible on my pc. for ex. if i take a pic and store it by the cam app to the sd card its saved into the sdcard\dcim\ and it is on the sd card. when I put the card into the pc Im not seeing anything... if I go with astro and copy the pic from sdcard\dcim\ to sdcard\sd\PIC and put the sd card into my pc Im seeing on the sd card ONE FOLDER called PIC?!?!

Ive just checked it with the usb cable and its the same thing, if you plug it in you get two drives one with the folders

Android

bluetooth

DCIM

....

and another...

BUT BOTH ARE THE SD CARD, try to connect the phoen without a installed sd card to a pc you will see nothing...

And this point I would like to change.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
You are misunderstanding what I am saying.

The folder sdcard is the internal memory

Whilst the folder sd is the MicroSD card.

If yours is different then I don't know what is going on with your Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
Oh Im sorry my mistake...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
Me again, you are absolutly right, but the people at samsung are really strange...

If you recive a mail with attachment and save the things its says saved on sdcard but it saves it into the internal mem...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Yes, I agree... it is confusing.

On a Windows Mobile device the SDCard relates to the external SDCard.

With the Galaxy S, because it has an 8GB storage card (of which you only get to use around 5.6GB) it treats this as the SDCard and of course anything saved does indeed go to this storage.

Looks like we will have to wait for Froyo to arrive on the Galaxy S before we can download direct to the MicroSD card (which as we know is indeed buried inside SDCard/SD. :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amplatfus:

Yes, but there is a limit that depends on email maximum size :(

Thank you,

amplatfus
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:
Yes, right you are.

... but, how long is the duration of your videos usualy made with your HD2, you want to upload?

1 minute requires about 3MB (MPEG4/VGA).

i. e. googlemail or hotmail are limitied to 25MB.

So, videos could have a duration of about 8 minutes.

Isn't that enough for a vga resolution recorded video?

Just out of curiosity. :)

Usually is true, but I want to avoid the limitation.

Turn off the phone. Wait 10sec.

Press and hold task switch button + volume down and press power button shortly.

You can leave this mode by pressing power button for about 10sec.

if you are not doing any updates and got the screen accidentally you can safely switch off the phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Will there come a time where most of the app developers allow installation of their apps into SD? I mean, froyo has been out for sometime (Not counting the official release) and there are only a handful of apps that can be installed to SD. So far the only official google app that allows this is google skymap. Google earth should be the one they have to work on cos its a hefty 20MB. My internal phone memory is already down to about 20MB. :\

Maybe im just paranoid... :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
The app store has a link to email the developers. Use it! I just went though my apps yesterday and found all the largest apps that didn't have widgets or services. Then I sent a polite email to the developers saying how much I would appreciate the option to store it on SD and noting how simple the change is for them.

I got one response back almost immediately saying it was a great idea, and he would be updating his app soon.

The more people who ask, the more success we'll have :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Oh yeah i totally forgot about the email to developers thing. I should start doing that too. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catzilla:
You can force apps to be installed on SD.

HI All

Sorry to double post but I really don't know what to do.

I tried to install 2 ROMS, Mondaco's and DeFrost, however I am getting the same problem on both, "Not in range".

Its finding other connections and they are normal, I can click on them and then insert password, but I cannot do the same for mine.

Do you have an idea what can be happening? It was working fine with the normal Eclair ROM. Do I need to do something to fix the problem?

Go to the wifi settings, menu, advanced, regulatory domains and select number of channels to use (14 ?).

Your router is probably using channel 12, 13 or 14.

Go to wireless settings, press menu and go to the advanced settings. Then change the domain from 11 to 13(EUROPE and others) or 14 (primarily Japan).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Try reinstalling HTC Sync, reboot PC and then connect the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmonfu:
Hi MasDroid

Thanks. I tried that but the phone still cannot be recognised by the HTC Sync. Just to check if I am doing everything ok, I have a cooked Rom, so when I connect the phone with USB, it asks me if I want to use the SD Card, and I say yes. Do I need to do something else if I want to just sync the phone?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Whenever you connect your phone via USB, you should be prompted to choose from four options:

Charge only

Disk Drive

HTC Sync

Internet Sharing

Choose the HTC Sync option.

If this screen does not appear for you, then go to Settings > Connect to PC. Select Ask Me and you can change the default connection type.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmonfu:

No these options are not appearing for me.

I will do as you said then and arrange the settings

Will do it later this eve since phone is at home at the moment

Can i ask, do you have the USB Debugging option enabled? Before you connect your phone via USB again, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Development and try enabling the USB Debugging option, see if it detects your phone then.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmonfu:
Well I do not think its on Froyo, or I cannot find it

It was working when I had stock. Tried that already, does not work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
I think this may not be showing because you are not running a Sense UI based rom? HTC Sync may not be available to you for that reason maybe.
