Swype setting word choice to never show
[Vibrant General] Argusi:
I thougt it was annoying too at first, but after I got used to it, it made sense. If it has the correct word, you just keep swyping. If it's wrong it's a simple press to correct. If it's completely wrong, press back and re-swype the word. Then again, I am a horrible swyper, so that may be why I need all the help I can get.:o

I have a choice between an HD2 or a Nexus one by trading someone for it. Which one should I get and why?
[General Topics] ilovemytilt1:
I'm gonna say nexus one even though the hd2 has android now by way of unnoficial means. I don't know if everything is fully working and will continue to work but windows mobile is pretty meh. Its always flustered t6he crap out of me albeit the hardware wasn't HD2 levels. But if you like windows or your one of those serious business types then HD2 for you.
[General Topics] chineseboy16:
I would really like the hd2 since Android is now possible on it. I just don't know how stable it is at the moment. Can anyone tell me what works on hd2 and what doesn't?
[General Topics] Phenomenon:
It's still a bit far from being fully compatible. Pretty much everything works but with certain conditions. For example, the Desire ROM IMO runs everything (even the camera), but it's not compatible with certain Windows Mobile Roms and even the factory ROM isn't fully compatible. The battery isn't lasting as long when running Android either. You're probably going to want to get a Class 6 Micro SD for it if you want some speed added to it too. IMO it's pretty damn close to being fully compatible and I feel glad I got the HD2 over the Nexus one after seeing how close it is to having Android ported to it. Still, don't go for it if THAT is the only reason you want it. Android will not be 100% done it. It'll still have moments where it could freeze and you have to manually reset it. For all we know, the developers could just get pissed and quit developing for it tomorrow so I suggest not depending on it being fully done.

I picked up Nexus three months ago...since I'm not that patient regarding firmware updating...Nexus being a real google phone relaly got me then, so after painfully deciding for something like, two weeks, i bought nexus...

if flashing newly cooked ROMS on a regular basis and feeling excited but whatever new things come out and eager to try them first, go nexus.

I Agree with orb... I thought about selling my leo and getting nexus, but the leo seems to like me more. ;D

Leo!!

And I forgot to mention it´s great super screen!!
[General Topics] Darrien13:
Nexus one ftw!!!
[General Topics] maxpower097:
I'd get an HD2 since they don't make the Nexus anymore. :)
[General Topics] Domynator:
I am a HD2 owner, but if I had the chance to go back in the past, I would probably choose the Nexus One. However, I like both very much, but the "Google Experience" is much more attractive than win mobile 6.5.
[General Topics] chineseboy16:
I'm trading someone for a Nexus One if I choose to do so. I primarily want Android on my phone btw.
[General Topics] chineseboy16:
Bump, I'm leaning towards the hd2 at the moment :)
[General Topics] maxpower097:
Keep leaning cause its the most bad ass phone I've ever used or seen. Its guarantee'd to be a show stopper at work and make all your iphoney coworkers slink off into a corner with their iapps to make themselves feel better.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Keep on Leo´s line!!

Now you can have Android on it:cool:
[General Topics] tomoooo:
If you want to use Android, go for nexus. Yes you can have Android on HD2. I tried it on my TD2 also, but the battery life was horrible, and the phone gets really really hot, when used, and no call sounds at all.

Hopefully this will get better, but nobody can be sure if the port to android for WM devices will be fully functional in the future at all.
[General Topics] galaxys:
You will have a better android 2.2 FroYo experience on the Nexus.
[General Topics] htc fan89:
They both have problems, nexus one is cursed with touch button problem (not sure in the new ones) anyway, the one I had was cursed with the problem. Hd2 i can not say, but will be receiving one soon. only problem is with the hd2 that People can't use windows Mobile and cry about " I want android" other than that its a good phone.
[General Topics] mingkee:
I have both.

Touchscreen on HD2 is kinda flaky at best even after hacking, but the HUGE screen is a big plus for reading e-books.

Nexus one has Trad Chinese interface out of the box, no custom ROM required. All you have to do is to get IME.

It's all about mobile OS preference. If you prefer Android 2.2, go for nexus one, but if you're T-Mobile US customer, wait for HTC Vanguard.
[General Topics] butthead123:
I bought an HD2 through upgrading my mobile contract last week and I returned it in six days for a Nexus one (bought from a private seller). Windows Mobile home screen looks nice but that's about it. The layout of OS is extremely confusing and takes a long while to get use to. The screen is very nice but wasnt enough to keep me from returning the phone. I also installed Android on the phone but it will still be a while to fix all the bugs and there are plenty and it just never feels right in terms of stability. Go with the nexus one. It is awesome. If the HD2 initially came with official android, HD2 all they way.
[General Topics] butthead123:
oh yea, the battery life of the HD2 is a joke. I use the Nexus One more than the HD2 and I still have plenty of battery life. While on the HD2, I have to restrict myself from using the device so it can last a day. HD2 battery life with Android is even worse (went to sleep 75% battery --> woke up with a dead battery).
[General Topics] maxpower097:
This is true and false. Comparing it to other phones in its class its not bad on the battery at all. If I cut off 3G I can go 4 days without a charge. If I'm streaming music over 3G I get about 8 hours. Everyone at work listens to music on their phones. The Androids seem to die first getting 4-5 hours of music before your under 10%. WM phones usually have 40% battery left after a shift. The Nexus one should get more battery life because its got a significantly smaller LCD.
[HD2 General] lalabrowneyes:
So I was getting tired of seeing the big clock on my home screen and I decided to try and change it.. I went to edit home layout and because my fingers are fat lol.. instead of pressing next I pressed remove by accident. Now my clock and sun/moon are gone and I don't know how to put it back, when I try to put it back it just shows up at the bottom right behined the slider overlapping ,I have no idea why it would be showing up there.. but I'm going crazy trying to get it back to the top where it was. Can someone please help me.

Have you got Cookies Home Tab installed?
[HD2 General] lalabrowneyes:
Yes I have cookies 1.8.. I keep trying to put it back but it's just showing up at the very bottom right behind the slider (overlapping) I would post I pic so you can see what I'm talking about but I don't know how.
[HD2 General] maniep:
Use the Cookies editor Tap - IDS-Edit-Home-LAYOUT.

You will be able to move the Widget around and place it on the Top of the Home Screen.

If you ever need to take a screen Shot or picture of whatever is on your screen, use BsB Tweaks program.

Hit the bottom Menu Item, and hit the Screenshots Tap.

You shake the phone, and it will take a picture of your screen and store it on the SD Card.

You can then Sync the phone with PC and transfer file to your computer hard drive.

Then you can link the picture from there and post it online or email it to anyone.

:)
[HD2 General] lalabrowneyes:
That's what I've been doing since yesterday, I go to Edit Home Layout try to put the clock/weather back but it shows up at the very bottom overlapping with the slider... I have shake and save so I took a pic and then sync it to my computer but for some reason the pics from shake and save aren't showing up any where.. thanks for trying to help I think I will go cry now :(
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
The pics should be in the root of your SD card.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
nope, shake and save has it's own folder on the root of the device usually. (unless you installed it to the card)

to OP, if you can get it on the screen, you should just be able to click and drag it back where it goes.
[HD2 General] pakure:
ok, do you have the cookies hometab EDITOR?...if not, install it.
[HD2 General] lalabrowneyes:
Ok I finally got it look at the bottom where the slider is, you can see the clock/sun right behined it. I do have cookies EDITOR and every time I go to Edit Home Layout(for home screen) and try to put it back where it was it shows up at the bottom.

[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Is it not letting you drag the clock around with your finger??

Try going to advanced ( right soft key once your in edit layout mode) then changing the size of the flip clock to the biggest one possible and see if it lets you grab on to it and drag it then..........

I take it you havent ever backed up your cht settings before you accidentally removed the clock?.........

if not it might be a case of reinstalling cht......

edit;

just saw your screen shot......... I think if you set the flip clock to its largest size it should pop up above the slider and give you room to grab it....

you could also try setting the retractable slider option...... if it was out of the way you could get hold of it.............. not sure if the slider is shown as hidden in the edit layout mode though
[HD2 General] lalabrowneyes:
I did it :D...

I had already tried doing that way, changing the size of the clock to see if I could drag it out from there but nothing.. but I just did what you said I went to the retractable slider option, got the slider out the way and was able to get the clock back to the top. Sorry for all the trouble..but I like having my weather icon on the home screen, thank you for your help :) and everyone else :)
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Glad you got it sorted :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I had call forwarding setup on my G1. I canceled my Tmobile service plan and only use the phone over wifi, but I can't cancel call forwarding now and get rid of the damn icon in the status bar.

When I go into settings and hit call forwarding, it says no SIM detected (because it's not valid anymore), so I can't proceed to shut off call forwarding. Any idea how to get around this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Try a wipe and reflash of your rom?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
Wipe and reflashing won't help at all, trust me, I screwed up and tried that "youmail" voice mail.... forwarded to that for almost a month through constant wipes and setting voice mail to regular voice mail...

There's a code you can type into the dialer, though, that will reset everything like that to defaults. Not sure what it is, though, or what to Google to find it. :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Yeah wipe did not work. I'll try to do some searching the code. I assume it's not the same as the check-in code.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DonJuan692006:
OK, so I've just spent the past four hours trying to get my stupid phone rooted. I think I've successfully done so using the steps provided by The Unlockr. It's the one for "How to: root myTouch 1.2 and Fender. I think this was the right one to use since they had about four different "How To's" to choose from. I loaded the Fender ROM they listed at the bottom of the page and believe it's right since I've not got a Superuser Permissions option in the application list.

Now to my issues. One I was just wanting to make sure I used the right process. If not, or if there's a better one to use, someone please let me know.

Secondly, USB in Fastboot no longer works. I can get to Fastboot, however when I plug my USB cable in, my computer doesn't recognize that anything was plugged in and Fastboot doesn't show to "USB" writing next to it. This was just working around 30 minutes or so ago.

Lastly (I hope), I'm still kind of confused about the whole 32A and 32B thing. I'll post my specs via Fastboot at the end, but I was reading somewhere that the 32A boards had the 3.xx radio's, however, mines showing the 2.22 radio. Did I miss something or did the person not know what they were talking about?

We'll start from there. I'm really hoping someone is on that can help me out because I'd love to be able to get things sorted out tonight before hitting the sack.

Hey, So i have a new phone with 2.2.1 official and unrooted. Can you help me root it and put CM on it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZacJ:
Hi all,

Thanks to those who have helped along the way. None of this is my work, I am just putting it all in the one place for those who are in a similar situation as me - wanting to do get onto JG5, but not knowing how. Hopefully you can follow along!

This is the first time I've ever done anything to an Android phone, so consider me a noob! Here's all the files I used - multiupload.com/66CNCCTE4W (you will need to copy and paste the link into your address bar as I can't post links yet :confused:

Before you start, I did this on my Australian Samsung Galaxy S, so I'm not sure how different your model is!

Before starting, unzip the downloaded file above to your hard drive, and extract it to an easy to find folder - I'd suggest somewhere on your desktop.

1. Open the Odin3_v1.0 folder

2. Run Odin3_v1.0.exe program

3. Select the PIT, PDA, Phone and CSC files by clicking on the button, then locating the file in the I9000XWJG5 folder

a) PIT - s1_odin_20100512.pit

b) PDA - CODE_I9000XWJG5.tar

c) PHONE - MODEM_I9000XXJG1

d) CSC - CSC_I9000OXXJG4.tar

4. Remove the External MicroSD Card and the Sim Card

5. Turn the phone off

6. Get into download mode by pressing volume down + home key + power button

7. Connect the USB Cable from phone to computer

8. Wait for the drivers to be automatically installed.

9. Once drivers are fully installed, click START in Odin.

And that should be it!

P.s. I had to manually select my Network by going into Settings, Wireless and network, Mobile networks, and then selecting the Network (for me it was Optus). You will probably want to select Swype as the default input. To do this, press and hold a text input field, and press input and select Swype.

I hope this helps - please let me know how it goes for you!

*(Edited to include only flashing phone - I originally thought you had to root it first!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gozman:
You don't need to do step one and two.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
lol,why bother about root ur device when u can straight away flash it like step 3??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bakoyoko:
Why do we need step one and two before ?

Since we are going to flash new rom and will need to do those again ????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hravz:
Didnt work

So i tried to flash my SGS last night but it didnt turn out so well.

put all the bits and bobs in (.pit pda phone and modem) and then connected the phone in Download mode, seemed to connect to Odin, ID:COM 0:[COM20], clicked start, it seemed to be working so went to check on dinner and when i came back it didnt seem to be doing much, screen on the phone was blank and odin looked like it was tring to move across factoryfs.rfs, i look in the CODE file and saw that the factoryfs.rfs file was huge so thought id just leave it and wait. but nothing left it for 4-5 hrs then left the comp on all night when i cam back it was in the same spot but said removed and the phone was showing a phone then triangel with a ! inside the computer. so i unpluged it took out the bat and put it back tried turning it on, same thing, turned it off again and put into download mode seems to work but didnt get a chance to play with it at home, at work now and cant do it because it asks for admi privileges to install the drivers, so ill wait till im home again. anyone got ideas of what it might be? should i have connected to port 7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZacJ:
Really? There ya go. Told you I was a noob! Sorry to confuse people. I have edited the original post so it only shows the flashing part.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] buddy01:
#4 is not needed.

BTW: your tutorial is already stickied in the big faq (post 2).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riz157:
I think alot of noobs will find this very useful. It's easier to follow for those who are flashing for the first time, i'm sure others wil appreciate your effort.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eaglesteve:
Hey Zac,

Don't worry if the steps are already in post # 2. I find yours better and more direct. More importantly, your phone is also from Australia, same as mine.

Thank you for taking the trouble to post this. I've been helped. I'm a bigger noob I guess :D

The only problem is that I don't seem to be able to download it. It stops after a few bytes. Know of any alternative links?

Edit: On the other hand, after going through some of the comments on threads related to JG5, all the problems are still there, so I don't see any real advantage over JG3. Will stick to this, since I'm about to get a replacement for my phone soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gothic Touch:

LauncherPro problems

Hiya!!

U have any idea when i installed this jg5 my launcherpro won't work anymore at all, it just force closes all the time and i can't open my phone at all?? Why this is happening??

How do install this but still use LauncherPro??

( Though it works when i install it but immeadiately when i try ty restart my LauncherPro it starts to force close 24/7)

When i did a factory reset it didn't make it completely, it left something in in phone about this jg5...maybe that's why my LP is not working anymore...

Sorry but i'm a noob so don't judge me, i have a question now, where i can get "Stock 2.1 Eclair"?? I have now FRF91.372 2.2 in my phone it works like ****!! I don't even get LauncherPro work without continious force closes...i want that firmware where LP works without any force closes!!

Please help a noob...please, now i know how to use Odin, cause i have flashed already 3 times. But all the firmwares what i've tried have sucked.

PS: Is there any way i can do a raw clean for my SGS before install new firwmare, i ask cause i want to SGS completely empty before i install new firmware, is this possible?? I heard that if you swype your SGS empty new firmware will work much better...but this is just a rumour though
