I forgot to tell, I am a total NOOB :p

Thanks your offer was nice, but you need a little experience to dump :/

But thanks anyway :)

Just to notice. If you want root asap, dont do the FOTA now ;)

Could you hand out a pdf which can explain FOTA and everything related to it for a total noob?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bitluni:
Hi again,

I have build

1.0.A.1.37

and the phone says there is an update avialable.

making a tcd dump could be a bit difficult since I am not using my pc as WIFI source. I will check if it is possible. Since I am a windows user I am just familiar with wireshark. I hope it wolud be sufficient to capture the complete traffic of the WIFI adapter.

BUT

I could also mybe capture from the x10 mini if this is possible. I don't know how, yet. is there an app? or maybe we could use adb somehow. I will check the sdk for a possibility to log the tcp traffic if there is no app yet.

update:

I will try out the win7 tool connectify to configure a accesspoint on my laptop and cap the update of the mini when I am home (~7pm GMT+1)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xfdisk11:
If your PC has WIFI card, you can try to use any linux live-cd router to setup MINI WIFI connection through PC. And it ready to tcpdump.

like this: http://www.junefabrics.com/iphone/index.php

Please note that the android can't use Ad-Hoc mode (computer-computer),only infrastructure.

Any versions of Windows and MAC can make only AD-HOC network.

Another way is put PC WIFI (or LAN) card to Monitoring mode (use sniffer, PCAP), but this way maybe some hard for Newcomers.

The perfect way if you have OpenWRT, DD-WRT powered router: http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware.html

The most hardcore method: Just call to SE support and ask about FOTA dump :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bitluni:
@xfdisk11: sorry, but all this stuff sounds like "%&§$"#**+" to me...

i will not mess around with linux right now...

I couldn't resist to try set up a connection right now:

the mini wasn't able to recieve adress from connectify and i do not recommend this tool, anymore

I did try VirtualWifi and can connect to the pc, but the routing just worked for some minutes and now I tried to start capturing but it fails getting DNS response on query:

prod.dm.sonyericsson.com.\xf4\xe7w\xa1\xcb\xdf\xca\xab\x9f\xe6.\xbf\x99/Q\xa1FH\x03\x0aG']\x8f\x86O\x9c\x8d\xba\xa9\x11\x08\x08\x06\x8d\x8bK\x1f\xee\x8f\xbe`\x9d\xb8\x81(@a\xe9\xa4g\xf1|q\x8c\x1a\x1b$\x18\x0c\x90\x90`\xc8\xe0\xd6^\x8e\xffR\xa1Nh

Have to try a bit around to set this up correctly.

I would like also to log the update request from the device since it could be possible to fake a communication with the SE server and get an easy way to deliver own packages ;)

Crap,

I had a problem with my G1, the Market was not working so I had the idea of restoring a nadroid backup I made last week

Now I have a screen full of dots (i keeps writing dots still). It's been restoring for more than 1 1/2 hours

I have a Google G1 (ADP1) with CM 5.0.8 from Cyanogen, AmonRA RA-dream-1.0.7 and radio 2.22.23.02

Any idea? Should I remove the battery?

I have connected the USB cable but I get no charging led
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunu:
Just pop the battery out. Happened to me once. Also you might want to upgrade to 1.7.0 since you posted you have 1.0.7

Also a simple fix_permissions should fix your problems.

Thanks, I rebooted and the phone started. All my widgets are gone, the home button does nothing and still I'm unable to download anything from the market (but now I get an error message) Gtalk just closes itself

Samsung Cable
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] behelit:
It's similar to HTC's micro usb to hdmi cable for the incredible.

It won't work by just plugging it in but I don't see why it couldn't be made to work once we get the Galaxy S source/kernel/rom
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It won't work, because there is no HW to support it. If there was - Desire and Evo would be sold with video out option.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=738754

[edit] For a full-scale USB2HDMI dongle support - there needs to be USB OTG support in the kernel, and it's not there yet. For HDMI out over USB you need HW in the phone, which isn't there. And the third option is a device which is USB master and needs a driver in the phone - I don't think this or Incredible's cable is such device.

Usb port is it locked or there is possibility to use it like usb host ?

To manage copy pictures of a camera to phone without pc by usb adaptator.

Samsung talked about usb 2 hdmi cable and think if its real it use some usb video card supported by phone(because of physic material imcompatibily of hdmi nd usb)

May there is a way to dev a tool or hack to get it works...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coooolboyz:
Aah!! Finally somebody like minded!!

I had been scouring forums for something like this. USB OTG would be an excellent add on to this phone. If not OTG, at least host would be an excellent idea.

No idea whether the existing USB Host driver for Nexus one would work on this one.

The processor on SGS already supports USB Host (not sure about OTG though). This has been pointed out in their press release - w w w .samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/newsView.do?news_id=1043

I am just wondering - should we request Samsung themselves via mass petition to open up this feature on SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
some USB devices might be compatible, like the 100/1000 Mbps USB to RJ45 plugs

those same ones works in Windows Mobile it should work as well for Android, however a driver will be required.

mouse and keyboard support should work out of the box

external USB keys for storage, or even USB mass storage devices should work out of the box as well.

usb audio... hmm... not sure what else at the moment
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coooolboyz:
Hi AllGamer

Thanks for the reply. So how exactly do we get this going on SGS?

I am much more interested in having USB HDD support on SGS (hopefully without an ext power source - am I asking for too much? :D).

Are you suggesting that the N1 fix should work here also? Can somebody help us with a "How To" to enable this on SGS?

:)

Cheers!!

Coooolboyz
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you can plug in any USB mass storage devices (USB hard drives) and it should work.

However, you might not get enough power from the usb port, you'll still need need power cord for your external usb hard drive.

I know on my HTC windows phones works like that, it should be the same for Android.

I'll try that when i get a chance.

you just a need a USB female to a mini USB male cable
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coooolboyz:
yep!! you are right about power!!! I am trying to get a cable - hopefully in couple of weeks should have this.

but I am wondering if all this would work without proper drivers in it. Would SGS have USB HDD drivers in it already?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
I can see one problem, You will only be able to use Fat32 drives unless someone compiles NTFS / HFS+ into the kernel. Ext3/4 is already done so I don't see many problems. What I recommend you do is get some sort of adaptor for Female USB > Micro USB and test it out with a flash stick or you can hack one .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coooolboyz:
Yeah - I understand the difficulties of having NTFS support outside the MS world.

I didnt know that ext3/4 were already a part of the kernel!! Is this by default available in all Android kernels?

For USB Host cable - I am guessing that this one can be used - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250671106072 (same as what Sven used for N1 USB Host capabilities).

But I seriously doubt plug and play would work (that would be too much of an expectation! :( )

Does any body have that cable here, who can check out if SGS does actually work in USB Host/OTG mode?

[HD2 General] gregormax:
Just wanted you to know in case you will need it in the future. I was looking for an easy to use and effective backup tool and I came across SPB Backup which is simply great as it creates an EXE file with the backup of all your content (contacts, programs, registry keys, messages, etc.) - if you flash your ROM or you move to a new HD2 all you have to do is copy the EXE file onto your device (or storage card) and run it and... that's all :). I was playing a lot with some custom ROMs lately and this little tool saved me a lot of time. Really great soft - just make sure that if you move to a completely different firmware you might need to restore only soma data but it's so user friendly that it shouldn't be a problem, there are also restore profiles (new ROM, new device, etc.) so it's automatic. Here's a like to the producer's website: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/ - just don't think it's an advertisement or smth as I have nothing to do with them - it's just a great piece of soft imho so I thought it was worth sharing.

I also think this is thebest ROM (closest to stock) - Leo lite 2.10/1.66 base: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621070&highlight=576 - I just added Cookie's Home Tab Editor, a great tool that let's you add new tabs to your home screen etc. - you'll find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633590.

I'm using the desire build 5.7 with cotulla's new zimage.

i've searched High and low to see if someone has posted it already and couldn't find a solution.

I have had a similar issue with trying to use android.

I have a euro hd2 with 2_12_50_02_2, using chucky gtx rom, installed following task 29.

The rom seems to work well in windows with the problem of non-functioning hard key buttons in the WINMO also. It seems impossible to assign functions to the hard keys via the windows settings - only the send key option is displayed. The send key (green) button works fine for bringing up the dial pad and the end key (red) works fine also. The start button appropriately brings up the windows menu in this rom, though i have noticed that it does not work on other roms. Currently my home key and back key do not appear to do anything in the WINMO under chucky gtx rom!!

This presents no problems in WINMO as htc sense is easily navigated use touchscreen only and to be honest i never even touch the hard keys. However, this presents a massive problem in ANDROID - the android becomes impossible to navigate as I cannot ever go back or use the home key to get to the main screen. This is the same in sense or launcher mode.

I am using a clean fat 32 4gb class 2 micro sd, desire build v 5.7 from gamesquare and tried all the latest zimage files from cotulla and others but always the same problem. the send key is working fine but then i cannot get out of the dial pad. pressing the end key puts the sense in lock and screen off and i can long press this to power down but if i unlock then i am just stuck at dialpad or where ever i was when i locked. the windows key seems to bring up context menu fine and long press brings up key board in android. The home button does seem to wake from sleep sometimes i think, back button does not seem to work at all.

I have tried changing the rootcfs as well but this did not do anything. I had the same problem on FROYO build so im guessing it might not be an android problem. I am using JMZ dual boot on new rom installs without any other programs on windows or anything else other than android on the microsd.

I have not tried any stock roms to see if they solve the button issue in WINMO but cant really understand why they dont work so well in ANDROID or are they linked as android is ontop of windows?

Ihave found a workaround by installing "soft home key" app from market place which is helpful. but still looking for a fix. All very frustrating!!!

Searched everywhere on xda for answers to no avail. even googling for days!!!

PLEASE HELP. I think im not alone if above post is anything to go by

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBlueSky.Net:
Are you sure it isn't there? I think Swype keyboard is part of all SGS firmwares.

Try the following: go to Locale and text in the the Settings. If you can see the option "Swype" under "Text settings" that should mean you've got the keyboard. Then you can go to any place where you can input some text; tap-and-hold the input area so that you get a menu. Select the option "Input method" and you should be able to select the keyboard type.

Good luck :)
