[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasimdejai:
Im thinking of installing the OTA update 2.2 onto my unlocked,unbranded and unrooted Desire but due to bugs in the OTA reported by members of the forum,i'm a bit scared to install it.If i do install and discover issues with the update,am i going to be avle to reverse the installation to the original 2.1 that came with the device?And if so,how do i do it?Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
It's not reversible right now and I would advise you not to update as it is buggy. Instead root, and install a custom froyo rom like neophyte 1.6 which fixes many of the bugs and is completely stable.

Hey guys, just picked up my SGS and have had about 30mins playing with it (before I killed the battery...lol).

What should I get first?

For some reason I cant find Swype...I thought it was pre-installed in Samsung phones? Its not in the Samsung Apps App either.

Also, what do you recommend for testing the GPS? I am curious to see how bad it is.

Anyhow, just a real quick message to say, thanks for all your help over the past 2 weeks (and upcoming weeks).

For now it appears to be a kick ass phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harts@J:
You can find many ways, these (sorry mine is in Finnish now, but...):

-> Messages -> New Message -> Push Write Message.. -> Input Method (something like that) -> Swype / Samsung Keyboard

-> Applications -> Settings -> Area and Text

From Android Market -> GPS Test

Have a nice time with your phone. I have used mine two days now. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
GPS test is a nice thing to get the specs on the GPS (basically accuracy, your satellites in view and the # you are locked on). For testing GPS, in how it will affect your real world performance get My Tracks. Run my tracks and go for a: walk, jog, run, bike, car ride (whatever is closest to your hobbies and/or typical usage scenario). It will show you where you've been on a map, show places where your signal has dropped (if at all), shows you things like your speed and elevation (elevation is stated to be a good relative indication of indication, e.g. total ascent/descent, but not necessarily accurate to sea level).

Besides that, try out LauncherPro, see if you like it more than Touchwiz. I recommend caching your pages, to improve moving, however it will slow down adding new widgets and icons. In addition to LauncherPro I use QuickDesk (free IIRC) and Widget Locker (paid between .99-1.99 USD IIRC, if not probably confused with Quickdesk).

A weather widget can be cute and useful. Beautiful widgets is an extremely popular option (1.49 euro, IIRC, I use a free knock-off called WF & Clock Widget).

Power Control for a great one touch access to: wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync & brightness settings

Text-to-Speech TTS

QR scanner

PSXforDroid

Gesture Search (regular search is more powerful and might be more popular, not sure, I like gesture search)

Google Goggles

Wifi Analyzer

A business finding app, maybe: Foursquare, places directory, yelp or other.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Oh yeah, the rest of the Google Software Suite:

Google Earth

Google Voice Search (installed on most devices, but not all)

Google Maps (I think installed on all devices, but I can't remember), I also like brut mod that was developed at xda. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=brut+mod

Google Sky Map

Google Translate

Google Voice (if in the US)

Shopper (if you use Google Shopping)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:
Excellent guys, thanks for the great info!

I have got swype working, and have tried gps test.

On my first test the GPS inside my car seemed flakey...i.e first it found 8 sat's and locked onto 7, but then it suddenly dropped to 3, and then back upto 8.

I will have more of a play with it later.

First impressions are great! Phone really seems amazing, however I have noticed that the battery goes down very quick..

I had the phone fully charged this morning @ 07:00, and 1hr 20mins later I am down to 80%!

At this rate my phone will be dead in another 4 hours....

I also cannot seem to connect via the USB, just using mass storage.

I disabled the debugger, and selected mass storage, but the 2 files that show up in my computer just say that they are not accessible.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
You need to open the notification area at the top of the screen and tap on "USB Connected", then "Mount". Not quite sure why this isn't automatic when you've already selected "Mass Storage", but never mind!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hanhav:
You can also download "auto mount" from market to do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Losing 20% on a (nearly) brand new battery after 1:20 minutes with the display running OR the GPS running is to be expected and probably better than average for the phone. If you have both running, well consider yourself to have some good battery life when having the phone idle and using more typical (? moderate is probably a better word) daily usage. The 4" screen will suck power, for instance if you are just reading without any processor intensive activities going on the display will cause over 80% of the battery drainage, running GPS/3G/wi-fi/backgrounding will drain the battery even faster though the display will be a smaller % of the drain.

I think even a fully conditioned battery should last about 5 hours with the display, GPS and 3G on all at the same time. Not quite sure as I'm just unwilling to torture my battery like that.

As far as the files go, I assume you actually mean "folders", the 2 drives that it says are available from "My computer" with new drive names. One of these is the expandable storage, and you won't be able to access it until you insert an SD card into your phone. The other will be accessible after you properly install and mount the device.

Samsung drivers are miserable to install. In my experience, it might just be my firmware, after you get them installed you don't have to deal with the mounting thing. Am I wrong? Initially, I had the same issue, but maybe I am mis-attributing the resolution. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
Dont listen to any of these guys here ... u got ur sgs ... now secure your phone. Whether it be the built in security app that can only be used in asia or europe or wherever (cant be used in us so i dont know)

I personally use wavesecure, it cost about 20 a yr for autobackup plus if ur phone gets lost or stolen you can track it down.

Then get a screen protector ... i personally use the zagg maximum body protection.

After your phone is protected carry on with your regular app installing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Boo to screen protectors (i used one on my original iphone but nothing since), but to each their own. Also, you are essentially saying "don't bother using your phone in the meantime until you get your screen protector...double boo

1.The Pda phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable

2.The USB cradle/cable is connected to the PC"

The problem is that IT IS CONNECTED TO THE PC AND MY PHONE SAYS USB BUT IT GIVES ME THAT ERROR ="( please help

what do i do
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wil Badger:
Why not try flashing from the memory card? It's easier then using the pc sync method. You might want to be sure you have a ROM that is correct to the HD2 you have as well.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver2kgti:
Is it possible to download, say a rom, from the site straight to the phone instead of using a data cable to connect to a PC Then flash it from the SD card?

I'm using kang o rama right now but I'd like to have a stock rooted rom as my nandroid backup file.

Would this be possible to do without the PC ?

Here's a banana split to look at
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
yes it is possible, I have done this a few times. Only thing is if the download md5 sum is incorrect it wont allow you to flash it. Other than that yes you can download them through the phone, and you may have to move the file on the sd card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hailpurdue:
UPDATE: SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much thanks to everyone, esp Zerf!

Okay, So I spent about half the evening last night trying to figure out how to change my boot animation, and I can't get it. I was able to do it before I moved up to Froyo (8.1 leak), but now, nothing. I tried the fix posted elsewhere in these forums, and it didn't work.

So here's what I want. I want the "rotting apple" boot animation from droidboots.com, and I want the "droid" sound to go with it.

First person that comes up with a zip file of only the boot ani, nothing else changes, that I can install in Clockwork Recovery that works, I'll donate $5 to their beer fund. :) Bonus happy points if you tell me how you did it.

I'm tired of failing, and would just rather it work. PLEASE HELP!?!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hailpurdue:
Nobody wants to make an easy $5? :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partizan81:
I will admit I am much too lazy to actually go out and find the files, but chances are if you've been working at it, you've got 90% of the work done already. Since you've got CWM installed, this should be cake.

1. Boot into CWM recovery, and go to partitions

2. Mount /system

3. go to your desktop, and copy your bootanimation.zip (rotten apple) and android_audio.mp3 (droid sound) files to the same directory as your ADB install

4. Open a command prompt, go into the directory with ADB+the files just mentioned are located, and copy/paste (or just type) the following items:

a. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/

b. adb push android_audio.mp3 /system/media/

5. Reboot your phone and enjoy.

6. Donate the $5 to ihftp69's SkyRaider beer fund.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phikai:
They actually don't go there anymore...they go in /system/customize/resource and they need to be named differently...

Otherwise the steps are good.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partizan81:
Odd, when I flashed SkyRaider 2.2, the files were located there, and when they were replaced in the same location with new files the animations changed properly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hailpurdue:
The problem is, for whatever reason, when it changed locations, they changed the file name format. It should have been a simple name change, but it's not, ADB push does nothing but give a blank boot up. I screwed with it for about two hours the other night, and came to the conclusion that I'm:

A) Not knowledgeable enough to do it myself

B) Too Stubborn to let it go and use the Generic one

C) Not going to screw up my phone by not asking for help.

So, thanks for the try!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskmk:
What flavor of ROM do you have? skyraider needs bootanimation.zip to go into /system/media.. I believe for the original 8/1 leak it's under /system/customize/resource

If you have ROM Manager installed, then go to download ROM and under Ihtfp69.. choose Goodies for 2.2 and you have an option to download a few different boot animations.. with or without sound..

try one of these first and see if you are able to make a switch.. if yes.. then report back.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hailpurdue:
I'm running the 8/1 froyo update, I've been trying under system/customize/resource with VZW_bootanimation.zip as the file name, as it was stated in another thread that this is the proper way to do it on the 8/1 leak..... I even went so far as to completely copy the "stock" animation, and move all the images, rename them, and make sure all the settings are correct, and trying it that way, nothing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerf:
I JUST did this and it worked for me. I am on the 8/1 2.2 leak as well.

Plug in phone

reboot to recovery

adb reboot recovery

Once booted in to recovery do

adb shell
mount -a

It will give you this error. Thats fine (It's just saying it couldnt mount the sdcard which we dont need right now.)

~ # mount -a
mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 on /sd-ext failed: No such file or directory

now type exit to get back to your computer prompt.

Now push your bootanimation.zip you want to /system/customize/resource

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

now now get back in to adb shell and type

cd /system/customize/resource

then ls *.zip and it should look like this. l = lowercase L

/system/customize/resource # ls *.zip
ls *.zip
bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip

Now we want to rename the vzw boot animation to .back to save it

mv VZW_bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.back

Then we want to rename the new bootanimation to the vzw bootanimation

mv bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip

OPTIONAL STEP: IF YOU DONT WANT THE DROID SOUND ON BOOT

mv Droid.mp3 Droid.back

type exit and adb reboot . It should now boot with your new boot animation.

i did it on BlackMod. It looks good, the number sits in the midddle pretty well. I's gonna add it as an option to BM next update. The problem with mods for CM6 become that they only work once usually, and have to be updated everytime a new version comes out. So you're more than likely gonna have to update it regularly.

I resized all of the icons myself, put the modified XML files into the proper folder. The phone shows the new charging icon on the lockscreen, but the battery meter is completely blank on the systray. There's just a blank space where it should show up. Toggling the CM6 option to display battery % didn't change anything.

Has anyone else gotten this to work with CM6?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blakestiffler:
i have an incredible and i spent weeks trying to make it to work different ways and i had the same problem. Theres only a blank space where it should be. Luckily the rom i use now has it incorporated already. The desire (which this was originally made for) has a "v4" after the hdpi folders and layout folders in the framework. The version i have thats working now has the "v4" added to each folder name just like the desire. But i dont know if the xmls needed any special editing to make this work. Good luck

I'm having a problem with MP3 ringtones and I hope you guys can shed some light on this.

When I go to work, I set my phone on 'Silent' or 'Vibrate' - however, the second a phone call arrives, the phone starts ringing as though I'd never set it to 'Silent' or 'Vibrate'. It's completely reproducible - set to silent, call self, hear ringtone.

The issue goes away if I use an included ringtone like the T-Jingle - phone stays on 'Silent' or 'Vibrate' exactly as expected.

Is anyone else having this issue? No custom firmwares here, just the stock T-Mobile image.
