[Streak 5 General] thatg:
hey so i purchased one on ebay with the att 3g bands. loving the phone, i was just back an forth between an iphone 4 and samsung galaxy s and the big screen is pretty cool. if not practically just when people look at me with my monster truck phone. but there are a couple of things i'd like to add to it to make it a bit more like the other android phones i've used. im now using adw launcher and doing my best to use this thing in portrait but sometimes have trouble reaching across the screen. tried using the fancy widet for weather and clock but it doesnt seem to adjust to the screen properly

Which keyboard are you guys using?

which clock widget do you guys use?

are there any other cool widgets you guys are using right now?
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I am using fancy widget for the clock and slide it keyboard,I was using swipe but it does not have direction arrows and slide it does
[Streak 5 General] jasonfreeman27:
what i did with adw was change adw settings change screen preferences to desktop rows to 6 and desktop to 8 columns then i use beautiful widgets home then in portrait mode i messed about with the size option that adw does when adding a widget until i get it looking right then just download skins from beautiful widget menu and its

the size i want with a sense look as for keyboard i use beta swype and the one i have fills screen out in portrait and landscape
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] androidboy69:
Hi, im on my phone right now so I can't really look as well as if I had my laptop, but I wanted to know if it is possible to for the evo to display a screen of just a keyboard and use that as a bluetooth keyboard to use on ps3 or if there is something that does that already can someone point it out? Thanks

Or maybe even use the evo as a mic
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Fiireball32:
Great idea I hope this is possible c'mon devs
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] androidboy69:
So there is no way to do this? This would be a really nice app if anyone ever created this.

There is an app named PRemote and it does what i ask i just can't seem to pair it with my ps3
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Bowhuntr11:
I just googled this and can't find anything on it... :confused:

Nvm, its PRemoteDroid
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] androidboy69:
Yeah sorry about the name confusion so do you think it is possible?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 063_XOBX:
I would be more interested in using a PS3 controller with the Evo like on the n900

http://gizmodo.com/5464531/use-a-sixaxis-controller-to-play-emulated-games-on-your-nokia-n900

but this could be useful too
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] androidboy69:
Yeah i would definitely like the ps3 controller on my evo but i would really like to use my phone as a keyboard so when i play online or use the web i wont have to connect my usb keyboard to the console. Anyone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jpc0480:
So there is nothing on this? Seems like it would have to work, maybe bluetooth?

Say we have a large amount of contacts that are saved to the phone. How do we go about making them google contacts after they are already in without having to manually save each number?
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
just do a google sync; menu>settings>accounts & sync>gmail>contacts sync
[EVO 4G General] greyopaque:
I had to use HTC Sync to pull them into Outlook, then export them in from Outlook as a csv. Then, upload the csv to your gmail account. Next, sync your phone to your gmail contacts, and that will pull them down to your phone as Google contacts. Most of them will link to your phone contacts in "People" so they don't appear twice, but some may need to be linked manually.
[Touch CDMA General] ahbroody:
Had my vogue shut down for a while now. Had a pre then went EVO. Well the Evo got sent out for repairs and I got a rumor as a loner phone. I am about to eat a bullet with this POS. I went to the sprint store to try to reactivate my old touch with 6.5 but they cant program it.

None of the stock codes will let them enter the phone to program it. The guy at the store said I needed to put it back to stock in order to program.

I went home and tried to take it back to stock but screen is showing spl 2.0.

Everytime I try to instal a custom rom or the stock rom now it goes to boot loader mode shows 2.0 then craps out and wont complete the process showing connection error 260. The phone powers up fine and looks and acts fairly normal, but cannot be programmed.

Also if I try to go into boot loader mode by pressing the power camera and reset button it just cycles of and on but wont enter boot loader.

Can anyone help I cant be stuck with this rumor for a few weeks I want to smash it
[Touch CDMA General] dashauns:
try going to the file explorer and in the windows folder there should be an epst file. That program takes you to the programming menu. You need your phone's msl to access the menu options though.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
It could also be that the Phone Codes are not cooked in the rom (or maybe the carrier cab is not installed). One lat thing is that Phone Codes do not work with skinned dialers.

As far as the SPL being on 2.0... you probably had CoKeMaN's 0.41 SPL and locked it when you flashed back to stock. Not sure why your device cannot get into bootloader though... What OS are you using in your computer?

[Captivate General] Dandarebr:
Hello,

I'm a probably future owner of an i897 but I have some questions about the hardware and models variations

I like in Brazil and my 3G carrier use 2100 MHZ (Where I live) and 850 MHz on other states (3g on Roaming). I have an unlimited data plan, but with a max speed of 300 kbps (so far).

I'm looking for the best GSM android phone: Fast processor, huge screen (4" or bigger), big resolution (at least 800 x 480), TV output, Wi-Fi, Internet tethering, GPS. All roads lead to I9000 or i897.

At first I thought choose the i897, because it uses both 850 MHz and 2100 MHz, so I'll have 3g anywhere in Brazil. BUT and you can see my data plan have a speed limit of 300kbps, so I don't know if I'll use the full potential of 3G, at least for now. Eventually I'll upgrade my data plan to a 1 MBPS plan.

I can also get i9000 but it will work only in few states. Probably it work for one year (As I don't intend to travel too much in the next year), but after one year I can change my carrier and some carriers here only use 850 MHZ 3G. So choosing the i9000 I will narrow my future options.

What I trying to ask (or answer) is whether is better to have an i897 with full country 3G BUT with an extremely "locked" firmware of if I should get the i9000 with a better firmware option but with restricted 3G (3G with 70% coverage).

In order to answer that I have other 'sub-questions':

1) Does i897 have the FM radio hardware? Would a future firmware/ROM update enable it?

2) Does i897 GPS works (I recall AT&T Blocking GPS on blackberry phones)

3) I saw some comments (other phones) that some ROMs messed up with 3G band. The 3G frequency is a hardware or software configuration?

4) Some sellers are already selling, here in Brazil, unlocked i897 phones. Is possible to unlock the phone but a ROM update or I'll have to pay for unlock codes?

5) Which other features AT&T decided to lock (Removed from their ROM) on this phone?

6) Is there an I9000 variant with front facing camera?

5) One very important question: Aside from Droid x (which is not GSM) and HTC evo (which also if not a GSM phone) is the Samsung i897/i9000 the best android phone available?

I also thought about getting a Motorola XT720 but it is only US$ 50 cheaper and have a slower processor and no 850 MHZ 3G. Also thought about the HTC Desire (A8183 Australian model that have both 850 and 2100

MHZ 3G) but so far I find the i897 the best option (although I would love having front facing camera that the Desire have).

Any other options?

Thanks

[Captivate General] Battlehymn:
In answer to your question(s), the phone you want is the best one for you ...

1. No, the i897 is not supporting an FM radio at this time, and I'm not sure if the hardware is present as I refuse to open my phone to look. AT&T's specifications page does not list FM radio as a feature either, but that doesn't mean its not there and disabled.

2. Yes the GPS works, it is spotty for some and Samsung has admitted to there being an issue that will be resolved by an upcomming OTA update.

3. (For WM Phones): It's not so much the ROM as it is the Radio software, which may, or may not, be changed in the ROM. Different versions of the radio software can improve performance for some and worsen it for others. I'm am not sure how the radio software is handled by an Android device, as this is the first one I've owned, but I imagine is is very similar. Just be aware of what you are doing, and how to undo it if something is amiss.

4. There is a thread on this board about unlocking the i897, and as of my last reading yesterday, there is no known way to unlock this phone...yet. There was even a report of someone selling "unlocked" i897 phones on e-bay, which were

later found to be firmly SIM locked. I would advise you read that thread, and be very aware of what you are buying if someone is advertising an unlocked i897.

5. AT&T has blocked (or tried to anyway) non-market apps from installing, and WiFi tethering apps from displaying in the android marketplace. There are work arounds for all of this already.

6. Yes, the are Galaxy S phones with FFC. Not sure if any of them are GSM. Keep in mind that transmitting live video is bandwidth intensive and your plan, and upload speed, may not be robust enough to handle it. On that note, I can find no data that either supports or denies this phone having HSUPA capability which would go a long way towards being able to use a FFC as intended.

7. Your last question is entirely subjective to perspective and intended use.

Were I you I would get the phone that most suits my needs and my HOME network. You may want to wait a bit and see what pans out with this phone.
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
In Brazil the i897 should not currently be an option you should consider until AT&T has made a definitive decision about unlocking the phones, or a third party solution is possible. The Samsung Galaxy S platform is going to be releases in 110 countries. Brazil being probably one of the bigger cell phone markets, is going to get a variant of the Galaxy S lineup in the near future, you best option will be to wait on a phone like this to be released and then pick it up.
[Captivate General] Dandarebr:
Battlehymn,

Thanks for the answers. I have an expectation when using my phone and now I'm trying to find which phones can fullfill this expectation. That's why sometimes the phone that I (think) want may not be the best for me. I hope i897 will the "the one".

I also think it's the best to think about a phone that will work with 3G on my home state. I897 will work, but as well as i9000. Maybe the best option, as you sugested, is to wait a little to see how i897 works in terms or ROM and unlock.

@rajendra82

Sure. My carrier will start selling the i897 here in few months, but I don't really want to buy it here: An iphone 3GS 16GB brought in a store cost around 3.000 Brazilian reais (around US$ 1,650) while it can be purchased for US$ 400 in the US. I asked a friend of mine to bring me a US phone but I have up to next week to decide which one he should buy.

Thanks
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
don't buy the captivate if you don't have att you'll be dissapointed because it won't work!

get something that does, if you must get an android device, the nexus 1 with the ATT bands (I think thats what you're looking for?) is you're best bet. they're still available online at places but you are most definitely running out of time
[Captivate General] Major Clod:
Telstra in Australia run on 850/2100 3G, and I'm pretty sure some networks in Canada do aswell. Keep an eye on on those carriers for a compatible Galaxy S to be released soon.
[Captivate General] Dandarebr:
I have a friend of mine that will travel to US next on august 13th, so I decide which phone I'll bet before he leaves. I don't think there will be Telstra ou Canada versions of the i9000 by than. Will have to decide about buying I9000, i897 or HTC Desire in the next two weeks...

[HD2 General] Freaknik:
Very easy I just did this a minute ago. Plug in your HD2 to your computer through disk drive connect. Check your SD card and look for the folder labeled "media" It should contain all of the notification sounds and alarms. Back it up on your computer just in case and then delete it. Restart your phone and their gone!
[Vibrant General] soraxd:
im going to get a vibrant, but a few questions first

is the vibrant 16 GB or 8 GB?

i noticed the vibrant removed the front cam, but added in a 6 axus gyro for 3d games, so what i was wondering,

if you install firmwares for the factory phone (JG5, JM2, ect) does it mess up some settings?

like offer an option for the front cam, but then crashes, or something like that. and

do 3d games actually exist yet?

is the gps any better than in the i9000? and is the read/write speed any different? actually i guess you could sum that up as '

is the hardware any different?

'

anything else i should know about getting the vibrant? thanks alot for any answers anyone can give
[Vibrant General] Pneumatic:
Is your Google broken?
[Vibrant General] tengtengvn:
is the vibrant 16 GB or 8 GB?

16GB internal + 2GB MicroSDHC.

do 3d games actually exist yet?

3D games look absolutely amazing on this phone. I play Asphalt and Nova all day long.

anything else i should know about getting the vibrant? thanks alot for any answers anyone can give

Just get it. I've been using Android since day 1 and I love the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] soraxd:
thanks alot, so its 16 gig and even comes with a 2 gig card, sweet.

has anyone tried installing any firmwares on it? does it work the same as on the i9000? from what ive heard JG5 and JM2 are the best right now, i would love to know if theyll work
[Vibrant General] tengtengvn:
You can have a total of 48GB using a 32GB MicroSDHC.

I don't think anyone has come out with a custom firmware yet. But the stock firmware is very good already.
[Vibrant General] soraxd:
im sorry, im not sure i understand you correctly, i apoligize. are you saying you still are using the firmware that came with the phone? i am aware of a quite a few firmwares, and custom firmwares available for the Galaxy S. are you saying these do not work on the Vibrant?
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
Some people are reporting stability and connection issues with custom roms for the i9000 Galaxy S when used on the Vibrant. You should probably wait until there are roms built specifically against the Vibrant's kernel available before trying out custom roms.

Isn't Vibrant 14GB + 2GB SD ?
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
No. 14GB for storage. 2 GB for app downloads. That's 16GB total on the phone itself. And then the 2GB external SD card for good measure.
[Vibrant General] tengtengvn:
Internal memory = 1917 MB app memory + 13084 MB storage memory

Almost 2GB of memory for apps is very nice. No APP2SD is needed.:cool:
[Android] kzoodroid:
Okay I made a custom ROM using the 2.1 RUU file and Android Kitchen. It works great but now I'd like to make a ROM with the 7-17 ota update already incorporated into it. I am using the same 2.1 RUU as a base but got lost after that. I thought it might be as simple as cutting and pasting the updated files into the RUU but it doesn't appear to be that simple. Can any one point me in the right direction?
[Android] kzoodroid:
well i did it the way it was posted in the kitchen thread, copied the boot and system image off of a backup. didn't really want to do it thios way but thought it was teh safest. it appears to be working, i have a rom with the 7-17 update + overclock kernal + root + wireless tether + some garbage apps removed + zip aligned apps and it appears to be working properly. did try and put aps2sd on too but haven't seen if it works yet.
[Android] kzoodroid:
using the boot and system image from a backup doesn't make the best rom's. facebook for htc sense will not sync with my contacts, the recovery image appears to be messed up, or at least that is what rom manager says. in fact rom manager barely functions. fortunately was able to restore a backup using clockwork mod recovery.

there has got to be a better way to get the 7-17 update into a rom.
[Android] t2noob:
You can take my rom as a base

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=718092

It has the July OTA already.
[Android] kzoodroid:
thank you for letting me use yours as a base. i was going to ask you how you did it as i know that you had gotten the update in as soon as it came out. i think this is going to be more stable then copying it from my phone.
[Android] kzoodroid:
thanks again t2noob for letting me use your rom. i finally got a chance to work with it and am happy to have a stable rom to use to my liking. i'd been having problems with deleting all of amazons files, it always leaves a file in menu>setting>applications>manage applications (com.amazonmp3.apk) which bothered me to no end. tried everything to delete it but it always came back. even tried your plainjane v2 and still had it in there after using the bloatware removal zip. just bugged the hell out of me. i found the only way to remove it permanently is to remove the app in the rom so it never gets installed in the first place. like the work you've been doing on here keep it up.
[Android] zach.xtr:
Hey t2noob what method/process did you use ? With there being a few options i was curious as to what worked best for you...

I used a system image file but would prefer a cleaner method.

Thxs!

Do any of you have a link to it?

I am making an ODEX'd version of Ivan's that has this integrated. I really dislike De-Odexing, and what it does to my space in /data, so I'm making my own flashable .zip.

Can't even find the link to the 7/17 OTA now (the original one doesn't work). Google yields 0 useful results.
