that's great; it was the same on 2.1, you probably just can't recall at the moment

glad it worked
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecapox:
Interesting. So once you use the Amon recovery it sticks as long as you dont reboot after you install it. I guess i was just lucky the first time!
[HD2 General] devilonline:
Hi ive buy hd2 to ready ebooks also. however i want to open a ebook always in a landscape view. is this possible?

thanks
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I use Mobipocket and that works in landscape.
[HD2 General] gerhardvr:
Hi,

I use AllReader and you can customise it to your heart's content. Mine starts up in landscape mode and I can start auto-scroll by just tapping on the screen in a specific spot.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kurtkbee:
Just a few questions:

For those using an unlocked Galaxy S in the US, is there any 3G (data) issue you are noticing?

How is performance and availability of 3G with 1900Mhz spectrum when using a Galaxy S?

I am in NJ (Mercer county) and was wondering if anyone here was in NJ and had an unlocked SGS on AT&T and whether they were getting mainly EDGE.

How will I get

official

patches or Android updates for my unlocked SGS, does anyone have a link to a download page?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pbarnum:
Where did you buy? How much?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kurtkbee:
H77P://negrielectronics.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-black-8gb-unlocked.html
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cooki3s:
Updates should go through the samsung kies software (available on samsungmobile.com) or OTA. OTA is definitly possible even with unlocked handsets as I have received them on my unlocked htc desire.

Don't know which method samsung will choose tho, since I haven't received any updates so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kurtkbee:
Any user of an unlocked SGS in USA that can comment on the AT&T 3G (data) performance in the North East region?

I know AT&T is moving most 3g to 850Mhz but I cannot imagine that they would abandon 3G on the 1900Mhz spectrum since international (GSM) travelers would be unable to get any 3g when visiting (especially for business travelers).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clubtech:
They are not moving anything off 1900Mhz, they are just adding new 3g towers only on 850Mhz.

If you had 1900Mhz 3g in your area, it is not going to go away.

If you did not have 3G in your area or had spotty 3g and recently got good 3g then it is probably on 850Mhz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
I have same issue in my use. Used 2 get 3g off of i93. Thiswith my i8910 euro phone on 1900 now only edge same on galaxy. So they r definitely moving towers to 850.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
nice nice nice!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kurtkbee:
Thanks for all the information guys.

From what I am hearing it seems that this is a well designed phone (except for the plastic feel of the back and the lack of a flash for the camera).

This is my fist android phone and as a person who is seriously tied to my corporate email system (Exchange 2007), I can only hope for a quick implementation of Firmware 2.2 which will allow tighter integration with office systems (SSL VPN and Exchange).

I am really hoping to get this phone soon and I will be flashing it with the latest firmware as soon as I open it.

On a side note (not that I would try it without someone else going first) is anyone testing MoDaCo's custom build with WJG1 as the base? Also, if I am running a custom ROM I assume that when an official build is out I have to wipe and re-flash with an official build first before upgrading to 2.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kurtkbee:
I GOT IT !!

So far I am really loving the phone. Since I like breaking things I am going to flash it now with the latest FW since it has this singtel firmware.

Now I just have to find a way to rip all the DRM from my apple/itunes songs to be totally free.

Quick question, the email client sucks. I need to only let it pull email from my "inbox" folder not other (Exchange) email folders, How do I configure it to do that? Or is there a better app for corporate email that I can use?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennie40:
A while ago I rooted my phone and installed Defrost's ROM, I followed the guide on the development forums and everything went great. However, if I try to install an new ROM (Open Desire) either through the normal recovery method or by using the Rom Manager, it opens in the recovery screen, I get the option to run the zip, but than the e:signature verification blabla error shows up telling me that it can't find the .zip. Before putting it on my SD card I changed the name to update (not update.zip), so that's not what's causing the problems, does anyone have any idea what to do different?

Thanks in advace :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi46:
did you at any point change the content of the zip file? if im not wrong thats what the error msg is saying that the zip file doesnt match the signature anymore because it probably was altered
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jminor4326:
Is there such a fixture to install in place of the battery that would power the phone while it's connected to wall-power or a computer? I keep hearing batteries last longer on laptops when connected to power and have their batteries removed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
What you are referring to is using the laptop while the battery is plugged in and charging. I think it depends on the laptop and the battery, as it's not a 100% thing, may even by a myth.

As for the EVO, no, you can't power it without a battery. The USB power doesn't provide enough power to keep the phone active, that or HTC just didn't make it that way.

Also, the batteries for phones are cheap. If in a year you need to replace it, fork over the $20..or for $10 you can get an AC charger and 2 spare batteries off ebay.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
The problem with usb through the computer is that it throttles the power being pulled to not damage the computer, when plugged into the wall it's full power.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigglywiggly:
I have done it, but it doesn't work all the time, I had to do it like when it was booting and stuff.

I only tried from the wall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] onbacardi:
When I connect to internet depending on the location sometimes I get the G icon sometimes the H icon.

Is it possible to set it only to connect on H (even if reception is bad, 1 bar only, rather than G with 3-4 bars reception)

Is there an App for it? than can let you choose what you wanna connect to?

I know in my nokia n95 i could go to networking and choose what i wanted but i cant seem to find that on the galaxy s.

any help would be great

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Elvoski:
LOL...

G - GPRS

H - HSDPA+ (faster than 3G)

You can't change it, It depends on your signal strength and location.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ferdimage:
constant HSDPA+ would also kill your battery too..i would image ye? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Elvoski:
Only as much as what constant 3G uses.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] soraxd:
im sure its possible because here is how to do it on the Omnia HD, its just a hidden menu setting

http://forums.samsungi8910omnia.com...ncrease-web-browsing-speed-when-using-3g.html

we have the same menu on the Galaxy S, so if someone can just figure out how to get to this part then you can do it
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Elvoski:
That is to increase the speed of the 3G. You can only see results if your using 3G,not sure it will increase the speed of the HSDPA. Also this wont allow you to get more of the signal or allow you to use just 3g or hsdpa for internet, again its down to network signal and location.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dsjr2006:
You could do *#*#4636#*#* in the phone app and change CDMA/GSM Auto to WCDMA or WCDMA preferred for 3G only, but you will have no service if you leave 3G coverage since it will not revert to standard GSM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aurorix:
That method didn't work for me when I tried it; each time I re-entered the menu, the settings had reverted to whatever was chosen in Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Mobile Networks... either GSM Only or GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) depending on whether the 2G only box was checked.

To get 3G only, enter ServiceMode:

*#*#197328640#*#* -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection

Choose WCDMA BAND for 3G only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] onbacardi:
LEGEND, thanks so much works perfectly for me, exactly what i was looking for.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllTheWay:
Yes thank you for this informaion. I was able to get to the service mode but was not able to change the band selection.

I receive the error: RAT Selection Option is Restricted !

[Desire General] Somel:
Guys It seems that there is two hw builds of the desire. One with dock connectors and other without it?

Anyone can confirm this?
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
As far as I was aware the dock connectors where on the prototype, as it was the same hardware as nexus one.
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
Guys you can recommend me some good android as i am bored using windows mobile since 6 years.

I want a good capable android probably with Capacitive screen and a good camera, processor and ram. I am thinking of X10 is that a good phone.

Thanks
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
Eh, I hear lost of bad about the X10. Why not try the Desire or Nexus one? Possibly the Galaxy S even...
[Off-topic] slaming:
i'm using a htc desire ATM and no complaint from here, running it on froyo custom rom :D
[Off-topic] Zd0s:
the n1 is good running froyo custom rom on it as well
[Off-topic] CRACING:
My bro brought htc tattoo but either he or me liked it much as WM phones.

Reason :

1. Its hard to find apps for android. I know there are lots of apps for android but see #2

2. Even if you find one, 99% it will be a barcode/qc code download or phone download link but no pc download link so you will need phone with GPRS or WIFI or 3G to download and install. This is hard for Indian users

3. You cannot use pc to phone internet via USB or not even bluetooth, like WM phones.

4. You cannot install apps on sd but only on mainmemory, thank god tattoo has enough memory ( 512mb )

I think these all related to all android phones. :rolleyes:

As you wish but I prefer WM phone the most!

Best Regards
[Off-topic] JAguirre1231:
1. What? I seem to remember the Market app on Android that has plenty of applications to use.

3. Um, if he gets a new device: FroYo. If not, I've had tethering on my G1/Dream since I rooted.

4. FroYo, I've had it on my G1/Dream since I rooted.

I find your argument invalid.
[Off-topic] galaxys:
Stick with xda support & a htc froyo device...
[Off-topic] CRACING:
Ah sorry I forgot to mention, I'm using official ROM on my tattoo and there are no updates for it. :(

May be the new versions doesn't have such issues. But for our tattoo owners. :'(

Yes there are lots of app but something doesn't suits me then WM apps downloads.

Anyways, sorry if I said anything or totally wrong. ;)

Best Regards
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
Now i think nexus one or htc desire would be good. Only problem with nexus one is no capacitive screen. I like x10 also because of its 8 mp camera and all other features are same as nexus one, what say guyz i am confused now.
[Off-topic] JAguirre1231:
Ah, the tattoo. No wonder you like WM better with that phone, under-powered AND it has Sense.
[Off-topic] ohyeahar:
Nexus One has a capacitive screen...

Thumbs down for X10 from me.

No multitouch means no full speed typing on the soft keyboard.

Outdated Android OS version.

Very plastic and cheap build.

Timescape performance is laggy.

Wide reports of battery drain. Likely to be software related.

As of this moment, I think you've got a choice between the following:

Nexus One, Desire, Droid Incredible, Evo (depending on geographic location)

Galaxy S

Droid, Droid X
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
Nexus one doesn't have capacitive screen(Multi touch), i have checked it with pdadb.net and also on google official site
[Off-topic] ohyeahar:
"Capacitive screen" doesn't necessarily equal "multi-touch".

For example, the X10 has a capacitive screen but it doesn't support multi-touch. It's because of the hardware. Regardless of what software updates Sony Ericsson rolls out, the X10 will not get multi-touch support.

However, the Nexus One does indeed have a capacitive screen. And the hardware supports multi-touch. In fact, it's the same screen as used in the HTC Desire. Whether or not multi-touch works, depends on the software. For example, it was mentioned in reviews that there's no multi-touch support right out the box; but certain applications like Dolphin Browser can utilize pinch-to-zoom.
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
So i think i have 2 options now samsung Galaxy S and Nexus one.

Which one to go for and Why, please??
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
Do you guys think it is worth going for motorola milestone, if i am getting it lot cheaper than nexus one. i think only drawback in milestone is slow processor and ram. Do you think 600mhz processor and 256 ram is not enough for new android builds like froyo or future one ginger bread??
[Off-topic] ohyeahar:
Certainly the Droid/Milestone can handle Froyo since it's going to be officially released as an OTA update by Motorola. Not sure about Gingerbread though. There's not much information on that anywhere and there's conflicting reports on what are the minimum specs.

I'm not a fan of the Milestone/Droid, so I wouldn't recommend it. The hardware keyboard is a defining feature of the device and yet, it's so poorly designed and near unusable. But that's just my opinion; perhaps you're alright with it...

I've just flashed to the Jacko ROM, and am finding that if an mp3 podcast is playing it stops if I press the power button to turn off the screen. Does anyone know how I can configure WM to keep playing the podcast when I press the power button?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] samylines:
I was facing a similar problem with my origninal HTC TPII which came with default T-mobile ROM version.

I upgraded to the following ROM version today and I can now play the music in my media player while turning the device to sleep mode.

ROM Name : WWE RHODIUM Cookie Energy style

ROM Version : 03.Jul.2010 WWE

ROM date: 03/15/10

RADIO Version : 3.45.25.14

May be you can try the above ROM and see if it helps you..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
Thanks for the suggestion. Funnily enough I just switched from the Energy ROM to Jackos ROM, mainly because it leaves me with 20Mb extra program memory! I'm not keen to go back to the Energy ROM for this reason.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] samylines:
Thanks for the reply.. I am a newbie and like mentioned earlier, I tried installing the Energy ROM today itself.. I have yet to try the other ROM's and will try them step by step once I am convinced which is better..

Your explanation gives me a valid reason to try Jackos ROM very soon..

Tried to help you, seems I got some additional knowledge.. Thanks again..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Haha, again a funny thread xD

I guess your problems with playing music while suspended are related to SD card problems. Format them, copy your music back to a folder and see if it works! I had never problems with playing music and turning my device off 0.o And I'm listing a lot to music with my headphones or BT headset while traveling.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
Why not install the Sk_customs Keep the music playing .cab. It does exactly what you want without changing the rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
Thanks for the suggestion. OK I just reformatted the memory card then copied everything back to it. Same problem - music stops when I turn off the screen.

Where can I find Sk_customs Keep the music playing? I've never heard of it before.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] moSess:
I ran into this problem and went through all the motions and in the end it was the card itself, the brand, I think it was a transcend 8gig. Got another card,different brand(Danelec or something) and the problem went away
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Baylenthesky:
Do you use a 3rd party multimedia player? I found that CoreCodec would not play while the screen is turned off (with the headphone plugged in), but HTC built in audio player plays it just fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itm:
I use Windows Media Player, but have also tried Pocket Player 4.1.

I'm pretty sure it's not the card that's the problem as it was working fine with the previous (Energy) ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
Any News on where to get this?

Cab would be great.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Cerberus_tm:
I found the file (don't remember where, and sadly it doesn't work for my phone). Oh wait, I just saw that this is a Tilt 2 thread (I have a Tilt 1): I came upon this thread by googling, not through the menus.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
Again use the shk_customs keep the music playing cab does exactly what you want. I use the CorePlayer and it works perfectly for me to keep the music on when the screen or power is off.

Why use a piledriver like a rom change when a small hammer works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bugmenever:
I'm going to be doing some development these coming months on changing the BGA pinned qualcom cpu 's on the MT3G over to a hummingbird chip.

While i understand the instruction sets are different i still believe there may be a way to accomplish this.

I was wondering 2 things, does XDA-Dev have a hardware modding forum ?

And does XDA-Dev have a forum specifically for the MT3G1.2 ?

Since the Black 1.2 has a different touchscreen/processor(while it might not be completely different)/and more ram.

This would be very helpful

Thanks! :)

None that I'm aware of.

You're in it. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bugmenever:
Thanks for that concise reply ;)

The reason for my asking this, it seems there is a separate forum for each individual phone available from HTC, (i dont work for htc) ,however since the mytouch 1.2 does infact have different hardware what is stopping us from making a separate forum for that as well

Thanks again!!!

David
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Serris:
This will be quite interesting, please keep us up to date :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
I've asked this a couple of times but I imagine it's because it's still technically a MyTouch.

The problem that I see is that it's exactly like a traditional 32A device but with a 32B radio and spl. So most roms found in the MyTouch forum won't work on the MyTouch 1.2 device unless it's specifically made for it. So most MyTouch 1.2 roms are actually in the G1 forum. So yeah... that's why I think there should be one a MyTouch Fender forum... but alas... I'm not an administrator. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arthofer:
erm...i don't think you will be able to replace a BGA Chip since you just cannot solder BGA chips by yourself...

you gonna need to take of the old one which is the first problem, bc if you heat it up, other parts will also fall off if you dont know what youre doing

the 2nd one is that it's not sure that the other qualcom chips are pin-compatible

the 3rd one would be simmilar to the first one, you cannot solder BGA chips without an reflow oven or simmliar tools, and that tools definately would cost you more that a brand new android phone, plus you need VERY MUCH experience to solder BGA chips...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bugmenever:
It's now very easy to solder bga and f/s bga with the new heat guns and solder tools that have recently been made available

they are not that expensive either, you can build a makeshift one for about 50 bucks

also check out

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x34hz8_hand-soldering-bga-components-using_tech

The pinning is a different problem (its more of a numismatic issue if anything), however as long as we can get the board to recognize the instruction sets in theory it should work.

This has also become increasingly easier now that the snapdragon and hummingbird firmware source has been made available to the public.

(arm 7 and arm 8)

Thats kinda lame. =/

Also by the way, the processor in the black mytouch 3g 1.2 and the fender are different, the stock clock is the same speed however the 1.2 model 's chip has different microcode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arthofer:
yeah you can use the board to solder down a BGA chip for a custom circuit, but there will be NO WAY that you replace the original BGA chip in the phone with your own one

also, "making the board reognize instruction sets" is a pretty big step for one sentence...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bugmenever:
You sound pretty sure of that. BGA / F/S BGA chips are pretty much just like any other chips, the only difference is the pins are smaller, it will be nothing more than a tight squeeze. As long as the pin layouts and the voltage settings match on the data sheets, i most certainly can change and replace the chips with my own.

We wont know until we try. It's all in the pneumatics.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bugmenever:
i've gotten a little further with this today, i successfully was able to dismantle a mt1.2 de-solder and then re-solder the existing FBGA cpu. -Rebooted the unit and all is working fine !

I'm going to do some more research on the rom and some neocore and other tests to make certain i haven't done any damage whatsover to the unit.

Then go hunting for a snapdragon and hummingbird vendor.

Or take the parts out of a existing unit.

This was no small task by any means and i do NOT recommend anyone trying this unless they are experienced with soldering (soldering BGA) and have _proper ventilation_.

I hope to have some more information for you guys all soon.

Its my ultimate goal to make this project cost affective so anyone can do it in there free time with little overhead cost.

Kind Regards,
