[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharata212:
You might notice that if we input wrong url in the default internet application, then it'll take us to Bing search.. Yess, its Bing, instead of Google :(

Do you have any idea how to change its default behaviour to use google as the default?

I'm using Desire bought in Germany.. Have made a search and all are directing to editing some sort of registry which I don't think that's apply for Android device...

Thanks in advance..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
thats very strange, ive never heard of bing on an android phone as default as it should be google. If you have location enabled does ite ven change to bing.country or does it always default to bing.com not bing.it bing.co.uk etc?

I dont think there is a option anywhere in the settings to do this and if you wish to change it you will need to root.

If you root and install an unbranded non vodafone rom on i bet it will work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharata212:
Hi Alex, thanks for comment.

You can try this on u'r desire:

- Type wrong internet address on the url form

- It will bring you to Bing search (instead of google), which from there it will give lists of potentially correct url...

Mine is unbranded since I bought from amazon.de, so I'm very sure all Desire behaves like this..

Pity if its true that we can change it :-(

Odd, if I do a URL wrong it just comes up with the Android "Web page not available" site.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
It was baked into the ROM by your provider. The only way to remove it is to root your phone and install a generic ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] unfnknblvbl:
Hi all,

I'm expecting my Galaxy S to arrive in the next couple of days, and I have a couple of questions about it.

I'm coming from an HTC Magic which I bought off eBay pre-rooted (see sig), so I'm not exactly up to speed with the process of rooting a phone for the first time.

Firstly, how hard is it to root the SGS? I've seen that it can be done with just an ADB command and an update.zip, is this right? Do I even have to use the ADB command? Is there a way to boot into recovery from the phone itself if I have an SD card I prepared earlier?

Secondly, what's the availability of custom ROMs like? One of the first things I want to do with the phone is nuke all the Samsung crapware from it and take it back to vanilla Android, if possible. The Magic has more ROMs available for it than you can shake a stick at, but I figure that the SGS is a much newer device, so won't have as many around at the moment. Is there anything precluding the production of custom ROMs? I've heard tales of encrypted drivers being the norm for Samsung, which sounds a bit crap.

Thanks in advance guys, I'm looking forward to my new phone (if not the bill for it, heh), and playing around with it in good old XDA fashion... and sorry if these questions have been asked before :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
whats your reason for wanting to root the phone immediately after you receive it?

I also thought through this, because i did it with my xperia. You can change the samsung touchWiz homepage via LauncherPro app

The only reason i would do it, would be to get froyo on a custom rom, but im going to wait and see if samsung do the good thing and give it to us via an update. As of yet there arent any custom roms for this anyway i dont think
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
It's easy to root the phone.

Download the update.zip file from this thread: http://forum.samdroid.net/f49/superuser-su-busybox-i9000-v-2-01-07-2010-a-1355/

Or direct link here

Copy the file to the internal storage card of the phone using Kies or whatever method you like.

Disconnect the usb cable

Turn off the phone

Press and hold these buttons at the same time: volume up+home+power, keep them pressed until you see the samsung logo.

Use volume rocker to navigate to update.zip and then press home to select.

Phone will reboot and you are now rooted with superuser.

The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

I'm not responsible for anything :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
Cant you just have the latest firmware update added to update.zip?

rooting is only needed for custom roms etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bratfink:
TO OP

Rooting the phone is very easy and is a simple as flashing an update zip with SU + busybox with the stock recovery image, quite funny actually that they allow stock recovery to flash any signed zip :D.

As to the second question i am also very keen to know myself as i believe it should be very easy to create custom roms as i have edited /system directory mutlipul times myself and i believe i have came across a method to get JIT onto our device however i need the help of someone using a linux computer and as a few good skills with android :D.. PM ME.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] unfnknblvbl:
So I can restore all my apps from my Magic... although now that I'm running CM6, that may not be as feasible as it was this morning :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
Just a stupid question ... do we need to root the phone each time we flash a new ROM ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] unfnknblvbl:
Well, given that all the stock ROM needs is a simple update.zip flashing, it looks like the stock bootloader has security off. Like "S-OFF" on the Dream/Magic HBOOT. All you need for root access is the su program and the superuser.apk thing. Awesome.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raudi1:
Does anybody know of a way to turn off the screen while recording a video?

That would save a lot of battery because the screen eats much energy.

And before anyone asks:

Yes, I know I can't see what I'm recording!

I've also tried the search function and found a thread where somebody asks for the same, but no solution is given.

And I've already tried some ways to turn off the screen, but none has worked.

Somehow the camera app prevents the screen from going off.

Hi all,

because I damaged bootloader on my device, so I tried to find solution for bootloader recovery.

And finally I detected jtag pinout on Asus P835.

See attached picture :

Jtag connector is located under trackball, so you have to remove trackball before connection.

I used donor bootloaders for recovery and device is working again :-).

If anyone is facing similar troubles with this device or has some new information please update this thread accordingly.

Hope this can helps to someone else.

[HD2 General] msmsms1:
Is there a way to sort the Start menu.

Not only with "to top" and "to down" ?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Hi Msmsms1,

You'll need a registry editor like Total Commander

and browse to:

HKLM -> Security -> Shell -> StartInfo -> Start

Then open the icon you wish to move.

In there, there will be a 'Rank' entry, you can edit this by tapping it.

- The easiest way to change these is to swap positions with another icon in the Start Menu, such as:

Moving the 'Settings' icon to where the 'Today' icon is. To do this, you simply note down the 'Rank' entry's number of each, and type it into the 'Rank' entry of the other.

For instance, the 'Rank' entry on my Today icon is: 900000718, and the Settings icon is 900000938. Just swap these numbers over and reboot.
[HD2 General] Martinhdk:
jwmd icon changer can sort your apps...

btw, try kenia startmenu for a better view...super improvement

[Desire General] HorNet505:
Gents,

I just want to point out that in my new mobile contract there is a section that informs you that using the phone as a wifi-router is NOT part of the data flatrate!!

I dont know how they detect that but I called them and got it confirmed.

So you better check the small details on your contract (even if you have a data flatrate!!) for this section - otherwise there maybe immense costs for you.

update:

just heared that older contracts are still unaffected by that § but some will be revised afterwards anyways.
[Desire General] doinbox:
They can only know if you are using excessive amounts of data. If you tether your laptop to your phone and just casually surf the net you'll be fine.

I remember seeing a CAB a while back that enabled the battery indicator in the top curtain, not the task bar.

It was coloured, and the coloured bar would reduce from the right to the left.

I have spent 30 minutes looking everywhere online and cannot seem to find it.

Does anyone have a link for it?

This is not for the top task bar, and is not the % indicator. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgalanos:
I found this one which is pretty cool and I thought I would share it.

It adds a very thin line right at the top of the screen, on top of the top task bar. Looks nice and sleek. The line reduces from right to left as the battery level drops.

Check it out:

http://pocketnow.com/software-1/another-ultralight-battery-indicator-for-windows-mobile-phone

This is cool, but not what I was after.

I am looking for the cab/app that installs a wider band in the top curtain where the mobile carrier information is displayed. Between the clock and the top task bar.

I have been it before but for the life of me I can't find it now.

After I did a task 29 weeks ago, my hd 2 started to act strangely

I frequently stuck at the white htc screen (w/o version numbers) after reset

must take battery out and put it back and try again until it boots

today, I tried like 20 times it still won't boot, so I try to flash a newer ROM, it didnt boot either, so I use SD to flash back to stock, overwriting everything, but the problem persists, I cannot boot into stock ROM. So I HSPL-ed, reflash radio and ROM, still the same. Now I totally cannot boot into WM, always stuck at white screen, can enter tri-color screen or hard reset but booting cannot be done.

I booted in 3 times today, but it hangs after a few minutes and after pull out battery/soft reset, same problem again....

Any solutions, or I just have to flash back to stock and send for warranty.

[HD2 General] bountygiver:
i use a 2.12.50.02_2 radio and all the rom i flashed requires 2.XX.50.XX radio

task-ed 29 again, still the same....... on energy/chucky/stock, use radio 2.07.50/2.08.50/2.12.50

also, I stated that I flashed back to stock the problem still persists, so the main cause is not ROM/Radio

PS: Now I flashed ChuckyROM (which changes the bootscreen), and I am stuck at the new bootscreen (STILL WITHOUT VERSION) again.

[HD2 General] Blades:
Start from the bare minimum and setup the ideal conditions for the phone to boot - keep things cool, remove sd card, full batt, etc. You could try the stripped down winmo rom that is used for loading Android (haret) quickly. It only has the essentials to load into windows.

My GF's HD2 seems have similar probs to the common freezing hd2.

I thought that this was an interesting quote from another thread.

followed by -

I love threads like that. heh. We'll fix this. Now that Android is getting more refined, eventually you could use it as a troubleshooting tool. It would help differentiate NAND problems from CPU/Batt/Heat problems.

hi all,

after using task29 my system is now pretty much down. it's stuck at the htc screen as described in various threads an tutorials. usually this problem could be solved by using the bootloader (pressing volume down an power) i guess.

BUT:

Bootloader is not loading at all! i tried all variations of pressing an holding the buttons. the phone just vibrates once and a black htc screen appears...thats it. hard reset by holding all 3 buttons doesn't work either.

has anybody experienced this problem and found a way to solve it?

by the way: i was running goatrip 4.9 an had severe battery drain. so i decided to do it all new from scratch by using task29....went kind of wrong :(

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamble87:
believe me i've tried that a thousand times now :). holding volume down and holding/pressing power (tried both). i also tried with and without being connected via usb. even tried with leaving the battery out a whole day and then reinserting it. no success....

with all 3 buttons i meant volume down + volume up + power button. at least this is what you read in the forums and see in various tutorials on the tube to do a hard reset when you're not using the sense menu...

i've been searching this forum for about 10 hours now...everyone else is able to manage this problem by getting into the bootloader, but not me. in fact this exactly is my problem, it just won't load....maybe theres a hardware problem...volume buttons broken perhaps. i really don't know

i'm trying to describe my problem as good as i can but i fear theres only a little left from what i learned at school :)
