[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hexogen:
Performance is better than JF3, but two annoying issues

Two annoying issues with firmware JM2 on my Galaxy S 16GB:

1. Yesterday, the battery level decreased from 100% to 92% in about 16h of mild daytime use and then plummeted from 92% to 26% during the night (8h standby). There were no active apps according to the task manager, and bluetooth and wifi were turned off. 3G and GPS were enabled (but GPS wasn't active and there were no calls). Reported battery usage (top 3): Cell standby: 48%, Phone idle: 36%, Display: 12%.

2. Standalone GPS TTFF is still very poor, even worse than my 3 year old HTC Trinity (P3600). With GPS Plus or Skyhook enabled (and an available cell/wifi signal) it's much better, but still a bit inaccurate at times, which can be bothersome while navigating.

Hopefully these issues will be improved soon with a new (Eclair) firmware.

People complaining about "lightness" & "cheap feeling" of phone

I dont get it. Sure its incredibly light but it doesnt feel cheap at all. Very solid and the fact that its made mostly out of plastic. I love it... :D
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I just wish the plastic had more grip,its too slippy as is. But I agree is does not feel cheap in any way.
[Vibrant General] Inat:
Same here. This is my first touchscreen and it actually seems like it has a good heft to me. I think those who say it's "light" are used to phones that weigh considerably more so they're more apt to notice a difference.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I never thought the phone was looking cheap :confused: The gel case I got from tmo adds to the weight, and actually the phone benefits from it IMHO
[Vibrant General] Arr MiHardies:
I actually like the slickness. Slides in and out of my pocket with zero effort. But this phone in no way feels cheap.
[Vibrant General] gthmcty1:
If you get the Tmo case it actually is a really good case until more starts to show up on the market.

I agree with all the phone doesn't feel cheap to me and I love how light it is!!
[Vibrant General] ram100987:
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Its light, but not cheap light, it feels well built. Its made mostly of plastic, but I didn't expect anything else.the plastic seems durable to me when removing the battery cover. Hell, if it was made of metal like many people want I think it would be way too heavy.
[Vibrant General] psychedelicx:
Love the thinness and lightness but every time someone calls me, the phone makes a rattling sound when vibrate is turned on.

Even after removing the back cover, it still rattles.

Its only after i grab the phone that the rattling stops.

That definitely gives an impression that its cheaply built.
[Vibrant General] romanonly:
@psychedelic

If your Vibrant rattles, take it back. Mine doesn't do that at all.
[Vibrant General] skesseks:
Mine rattles,...... On the surface that it is sitting on. And it stops when I grab it with my hand.

Not too helpful, I know.
[Vibrant General] jaadamoo:
long term durability and appearance

i got the vibrant to replace my hd2 cuz winmo just wasn't doing it for me.. its much lighter and it looks nice.. but when I look at it, I can't help but think what it will look like 6 months down the road. the i see the paint on the shiny metal band coming off, i see the plastic clips on the back cover breaking, i see the plastic cracking all around. I know a good case will hide this, but just as with any nice purchase, i want it looking as new as possible for as long as possible, and I just don't see that happening with this plastic phone.
[Vibrant General] psychedelicx:
Mine rattles even on a soft surface like a car seat so definitely something related to the phone. Anyone else have the same problem?
[Vibrant General] kugeln:
After using an N1 or just about any E-series (metal) Nokia, the Vibrant feels incredibly cheap. Heck, even the oldest iPhone makes it look cheap, except for the screen.

It's not as bad as the G1, but I knew about the build quality going in...as long as the hardware works I can deal with the sub-par packaging and finish.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Build quality? Whats wrong with it?

To each his own I guess, cant please everyone.
[Vibrant General] djunio:
We need to get a petition going for an official metal back plate.
[Vibrant General] Tairen:
Uh no we don't. I'm fine with my plastic back. That's why you have aftermarket cases and covers for. I love having a light phone. Who wants more weight on them anyway?

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
+1

There's nothing wrong with light, as long as it's built well. As a matter of fact, I prefer light. My N900 was heavy and bulky; the Vibrant is so much more pocketable.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
A metal backplate without plastic over the antennas will cause us nothing but signal issues in weak areas. It would have to be like the iPhone but with an extra plastic cutout for the BT/WiFI/GPS antenna's that are at the top of the phone to the right.

Anyway I agree, I had a CLIQ that was all plastic before I got the Vibrant and it did feel extremely solid however I still have confidence in my Vibrant. It's just the lightness that throws people off coming from an HTC or Motorola brick.
[Vibrant General] srqt:
I think the look and feel of the phone is great. It does not feel cheap or flimsy at all. I will take a sturdy light plastic phone over a heave metal phone any day.

I am new to this forum.

I have a HTC Touch HD T8282.

Then

My problem is ever with the camera that not work for six months.

when I click on the icon, the phone freezes quickly 2 or 3 seconds without any error message.

I've installed Eclipse version 3.x Kitchen. The camera has functioned well for once. At the first reboot the camera does not work.

I reinstalled again WM, but it will not work again.

Which solution is there please!

Thank you.

[EVO 4G General] yznhmr:
I have read MANY threads, hunderds of pages.. I have rooted my phone... (the hard way, Thanks Toast) and I still really dont "GET IT.."

I would love a white board on the components of the whole process.. including titanium backup..

Meaning a writeup, showing each part of the system, and a paragraph on what it does..

Us Droidnoobs would really like to understand how this works from a high level... (or maybe I just belong on a short yellow bus...lol)

I just dont get what is required for each part, and what it affects..

NandUnlock: What does this do for us?

Engineering SPL: What is this?

Clockwork: ( i loved the movie.. but don't get how it pertains to the phone)

But seriously.. I dont know what is is, so how can I pick from the 2 avaiable?

Recovery: What parts of things dose this include? What is its function?

Nandroid back up: Do i need this and Titanium BK? Which will do what?

I want to figout how to back up my EVO and install new roms, and then re populate all my settings and data.. i use exchange, so i don't care about emails and contacts, but i have other email (pop) accts, that i want the accounts and preferences retained..

I have to root my bosses phone later today, and was wondering if i can do it with out it being activated? I was gonna get it rooted, and then activate it on Monday when I see him..
[EVO 4G General] aikeru:
I'm by far not the most knowledgeable person but I can answer some of your questions... :) Anyone that knows better please correct me and let me know.

NandUnlock: What does this do for us?

This is required to install custom ROMs. Without it, you could install signed ROMs from Sprint (ie: Engineering ROM or Stock ROM) but not custom ROMs (like Fresh, DC, Cyanogen...).

Engineering SPL: What is this?

The way I understand it's a ROM version before the Stock ROM that Sprint/HTC probably used to test the phone before release. We use it because it is special in that it allows us to unlock the NAND part (Sprint stock ROM does not allow this).

Clockwork: ( i loved the movie.. but don't get how it pertains to the phone)

But seriously.. I dont know what is is, so how can I pick from the 2 avaiable?

Err... Not sure picking what...? But Clockwork is a great recovery app that makes it easy to drop files on the phone even if it wont boot or install custom ROMs/updates whether they are signed or not. It also makes backing up your phone (everything including the ROM, AFAIK, I use it and very happy with it) a snap. It reboots your phone to do this.

Recovery: What parts of things dose this include? What is its function?

Recovery is a special part of your phone that is away from the operating system. The OS can't install on top of itself, so you need separate code to do it. It's also a tool for when the OS is broken/not functioning and doing diagnostics.

Nandroid back up: Do i need this and Titanium BK? Which will do what?

I should know more about nandroid... but don't really. I think it backs up the recovery part/hboot? Errr... someone help me on this one. :)

Titanium backup makes it easy to backup your paid apps and even stock/OEM apps that came from the mfr or carrier. It has other backup functions, too.

I want to figout how to back up my EVO and install new roms, and then re populate all my settings and data.. i use exchange, so i don't care about emails and contacts, but i have other email (pop) accts, that i want the accounts and preferences retained..

Can't think of how to do this off the top of my head. Does it store on SD card? I can't be sure. I think there's an option to store this information on the SD card, so that should work AFAIK.

I have to root my bosses phone later today, and was wondering if i can do it with out it being activated? I was gonna get it rooted, and then activate it on Monday when I see him..

I'm pretty sure you can I don't see any reason why not but I've never encountered that situation before... :)

Hope this is helpful.

I need more info on the Nandroid back up please..
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Clockwork and ArmonRA both provide the capability to BACKUP your ROM, referred to as Nandroid. I know there are some plus and - to each. You should get in the habbit of ALWAYS taking a nandroid backup before you try a new rom. Give yourself something to fall back on.

TB lets you backup applications and OS settings and restore them. It will relink your apps to the market, which other apps will not do.

You must be very careful restoring OS settings, as each rom is built differently. Setting in DC will not work in Fresh for instance. So you can use TB to restore all your apps quickly, but you should still do the configuration manually.

You can root a non activated phone, but I think the activation process can cause you problems. I would wait until it is activated.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
Clockwork: ( i loved the movie.. but don't get how it pertains to the phone) But seriously.. I dont know what is is, so how can I pick from the 2 avaiable?

i use AmonRA. why? because it seems that the general rule of thumb is that clockwork is easier for us noobs, but if anyone has issues they are told to use RA. so, i just use RA. i used clockwork for a bit but have i switched to RA; it's really not much different interface. the only thing i wish RA would do would be to allow me to 'browse for the zip to be flashed'. (oh yeah in RA...press both up/down at the same time to go back a level)

i believe you can use clockwork and simply 'flashover to RA' as needed from within the running OS. it can flash RA or Clkwrk or old version. i had something happen last month and wasn't sure what i did...once i got RA working, i said screw it and stayed with it. Clockwork does have a nice interface designed to make it easier to test out new ROMs...RA does not have this. is it needed? not really.

Nandroid back up: Do i need this and Titanium BK? Which will do what?

i use both. when i'm doing a buch of tweaks or testing a ROM, i make sure to make a nandroid backup (think Norton Ghost for phones). i also use titanium, mainly for when i install a new ROM. it allows me to restore just the apps and their settings onto the new ROM. its not perfect but does get most things. you'll need to setup things like email, facebook, twitter, meebo logins, etc.

so, although i often take a nandroid and titanium backup at abotu the same time, they are used to restore slightly differently. nandriod is my 'oh crap, this is bad i want to get off this ride' and titanium is my 'sweet, now how do i get my apps back in place without manually installing and config'ing each and every one'

(make sure to read about 'user apps' vs 'system data' w/ titanium).

I want to figout how to back up my EVO and install new roms, and then re populate all my settings and data.. i use exchange, so i don't care about emails and contacts, but i have other email (pop) accts, that i want the accounts and preferences retained..

titanium will get most of this. but i always seem to have to some tweaking cause some app has been installed or whatnot since my last backup. oh...and the titanium paid version will install all apps w/o manual intervention.

enjoy.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Clockwork: ( i loved the movie.. but don't get how it pertains to the phone)

Use either Clockwork or Amon RA, will not make a difference. Clockwork is used in ROM Manager as default.

Recovery: What parts of things dose this include? What is its function?

Recovery (volume down + power) allows you to flash zip files (rom, radio, apps, whatever), do manual nandroid backup, wipe your device, etc. Clockwork and Amon RA are both recoveries that do essentially the same thing.

Nandroid back up: Do i need this and Titanium BK? Which will do what?

Nandroid backups EVERYTHING on your phone, all apps, data, including rom, radio and kernel. It can be accessed via recovery or via an app called ROM manager.

Titanium Backup allows you to backup all your apps and data. You may ask why would you want to use Titanium Backup if Nandroid backs up everything? When you flash a new rom, you can use Titanium Backup to restore all your apps. (Otherwise restoring via Nandroid will restore your old rom over your newly flashed one)

I want to figout how to back up my EVO and install new roms, and then re populate all my settings and data.. i use exchange, so i don't care about emails and contacts, but i have other email (pop) accts, that i want the accounts and preferences retained..

Search the Market for email backup. Your google account restores all your contacts anyways.
[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
Quick addition for your pop3 accounts. You can actually use GMail to push all your pop accounts. this will retain all the settings for those accounts if you reflash a new rom. There is a tutorial on here somewhere on how to do that. The GMAil push lets you set up labels and seperate email folders for your different pop3's also, you can add labels through the web interface and they will show up on your phone automatically, providing of course you have them set up to sync.

Another quick comment on Nandroid, this is a carbon image of your phne basically, so if you flash a new rom and then do a nandroid it will restore your phone to exactly how it was when you did the backup. So it wont work as an app backup, because if you flash a new rom and use nandroid you will be completed reverted to the rom you were on when you backed up. Make sense? Use titanium or there is even a backup called "mybackup" in the market which works also, I personally use titanium but my backup is a one click everything backup. Although it does not restore your market links, which allow you to get update notifications for your market apps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craley1:
So I've used the file that Wes has a link to ([README] Avoid flashing the ENG nbh) but I am still having some issues. I went through the nandroid backup process, flashed the ESPRIMG.zip and then restored through nanadroid. However, when I try to use Rom Manager I get the attached image.

I'm hoping I'm just missing a step. I've done several flashes to the slide. I also believe I have flashed the original ENG build from hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713507 [(ROM) Factory Rom..Champion build / Need root to flash first!!]. That was before I found the "Avoid flashing the ENG nbh" thread.

I have Euguene's MR1V4 flashed. Any help is appreciated.

Without the engineering build you have to do the whole process over pretty much to get into clockwork....
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craley1:
I thought the whole point of Wes's post (Avoid Flashing the ENG nbh) was that flashing the original engineering build could lead to problems rooting later.

Anyway, I believe I have flashed the original engineering build but I'm still having trouble. Or am I mistaken about which engineering build I need? I'm pretty sure I've used both (the original ENG build and the one Wes suggests).

Maybe a quick link to the one I really need would help. ;)

Thanks.

Start over with & follow the Direction to Flashing the Eng-Build.. You don't have it loaded or had Flashed to the 1.26.531 build at one point..

Once you load the Eng-Build you will be able to boot Clockwork via an update.zip everytime.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
It turns out there is nothing wrong with the doing the engineering build. If you flashed the one that wes posted then you reverted back to a non-engineering recovery. You need to flash the engineering image again to get back.

Click Products on the menu

Java Smartphones

You will need to convert your tokenseed to work with the app, but it is worth it.
[Android Apps and Games] whoiswes:
Yup, confirmed. I have RSA running on my Hero (CM6), here's what I did.

Download J2ME app as per woffy's instructions above

Go to http://www.netmite.com/android/ and download the andme runner APK, and install

Go to http://www.netmite.com/android/srv/2.0/getapk.php and upload the JAD and JAR files from the RSA app you downloaded. An APK should be generated, load it onto your phone any way you want.

Get the token converted from the RSA website as well, and get your token file from the appropriate source. Then run tokenconverter.exe <filename>.sdtid -f. You should get a long numeric string.

Click import token in the RSA app, and enter the code from above

If all goes well, you should be able to enter your PIN and get a token.

Hope this helps someone, several of my coworkers and I have been waiting for this for months - we all got tired of carrying either fobs or our blackberries just to be able to remote in. One phone to rule them all!

Your security dept will need to have available soft tokens. Tell them to generate a Windows Mobile 128bit AES token file for you. You should receive a file with a .sdtid extension. Use that file with the token converter as described by whoiswes.

edit:

You cannot use the sdtid file from an existing WM soft token btw. TokenConverter will blow up on a schema parsing error if there's a WM deviceID statement (generally the case when WM softtokens are assigned). Make sure the security dept. generates the WM token with a blank deviceID. Generally that means that they will have to unassign your existing soft token then re-assign it to you.
