[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
Thanks for all the replies :) I've rooted my phone and my build no. is R2BA023. I know it's not the latest but I can't be bother to update my phone lol. Does the latest update fix these battery issues? I've also heard that rooted phones won't be able to update via SEUS, is this true? I'm going to uninstall ATK and use the phone without any task manager and i'll give you guys a feedback.
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
i really doubt x10 can live without a task killer. every time my ram drop to around 30mb it lags like hell, and the i spend around 30s craw to my task killer everything went smooth.

or is it just me?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
I had used Advanced Task Killer from day one i bought X10, but since last 3-4 weeks i've not used Advanced Task Killer (unistalled it) & I found my device more stabil & faster now & Battery is improved as well.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Another neither vote here.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
hmm. I've uninstalled ATK and was using the phone the whole evening. So far so good :) will keep you guys posted.
[XPERIA X10 General] ClintonH:
Neither, the OS will just end up loading your apps more often (after killing them) it's going to kill your battery. Leave the OS to the task it's designed for you'll be better off. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
I used to use app killer but when i updated to 24, i found on a call that the proximity sensor would kill the screen, app killer was set to work then, but, would re energize the screen ending up in a blip on the sound while making a call. I dont use it now, phone is fine... I just switch off at night now... am happy.
[XPERIA X10 General] SpikeNaples:
Good to know. Will uninstall JD for the meantime and just let 2.3.5 CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 take care of itself.
[HTC Aria General] hashbrown:
I've got a noob Q. How does one go about exporting contacts to their google account? When I select import/export in "people" I only get the option to export to sd card (which I use)or import from sim and sd card. I see my google addr as an option to import to but have never sync'd contacts to it. If someone could clarify this it might answer mine and others Q's!
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
the easiest way is to simply go into settings>accounts and sync>choose your gmail account>hit sync contacts.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haji_Kun:
Hi all, I just bought my Desire today (woohoo!) and have a question about the memory card. I have a 16gb card that I used with my X10. Would I be able to use that same card on my desire with no problems? Would I have to reformat it? All my music and other files are already on the card and it would save me a bunch of time to not have to re-transfer everything again. Thanx in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lukehluke:
When you put it in it should work fine.
[G1 Android Development] agentfusion:
Time for the update!

CyanogenMod6rc3

EBI1 Kernel for CM6rc3

Google Apps, Mdpi Tiny for CM6

Use these the same way you would in the above steps for flashing CM5, obviously replacing the zip files from CM5 with the ones from CM6 during the adb push, and the flashing from zip in recovery console. This should work exactly the same as the above version, but the end result is that you'll have FroYo instead of Eclair. :)

I waited until RC3 for this update because, in my opinion, RC2 was a bit laggy and overall wasn't as stable.

Also note: This process will work for roms OTHER than CyanogenMod so long as they're either based on CM or have an EBI1 Kernel available. Make sure you use the correct EBI1 Kernel by checking what gapps version the Rom uses if it's CM-based but doesn't link to an EBI1 Kernel. For example, if it's gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3 then it's the CM6rc2 EBI1 Kernel you need.

Any questions? Post 'em here.
[G1 Android Development] XBrav:
Thanks for posting this. I know some people got confused.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I highly recommend people also look at the pre existing thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7306638#post7306638 if they have questions as that is where the q/a is at.
[G1 Android Development] agentfusion:
The difference is your thread is a vague shortened process that assumes people are going to follow all the links in your post and read through pages of comments to figure out the exact steps of your "simplified process", where my thread gives them a one-stop-shop from stock to a stable rom. You've linked to your thread, so now people who don't mind looking around then posting tons of questions have their place to go.

Tl;dr version: this thread is for the people who can barely be bothered to use the search function and want everything in one place, your thread is for "everyone else".
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Don't worry I'm following this thread so *I* don't inadvertently support people who don't follow links.
[G1 Android Development] agentfusion:
It just sucks that people really are that lazy. Seriously. They waste more time typing a question that has been answered 20 times than it would take to search for the proper answer.

So yeah, thanks for posting a topic that has a lot of great information for those of us who aren't lazy, I do personally like yours and think it should be in the informative links sticky. I just wish I had found yours first while I was searching for my answers because it really is informative for those of us not afraid to read and not have things spoonfed to them.

[G1 Android Development] Wood's:
Tks for the guide. Total newbie here and trying to root my HTC Dream.

Up to now, i fallowed WIKI loll to the letter, tho, when i try to download the EXPLOID, either from your link or the WIKI one, it pup's out as a TROJAN program Exploit.Linux.Lotoor.e !

Is it safe to get it or i shouldn't go there???

I'm stuck to this step now and not sure what to do :(

Tks for the info..;)
[G1 Android Development] agentfusion:
To the best of my knowledge, it comes up as a trojan because it's a rootkit for Android, which is based on Linux... so virus scanners will consider Exploid as a "virus/trojan" because using a rootkit on a linux machine is basically using a trojan to get root access, which is what you're doing to your phone.. you're using an exploit to get root access.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
What we have here is a tut on what's required to clean your phone prior to installing a custom rom

Pre Requirements:

1.) must be ROOTED

2.) should have Eng build installed(not a necessity, but makes life A WHOLE LOT EASIER!!)

3.) must have clockwork's recovery installed

remember people, when i say "select" i mean clicking the touchpad.. in the newer versions of clockwork, you can no longer press the power button to select

so here's your steps:

1.) boot into clockwork recovery(easiest way is through rom manager)

2.) scroll down to wipe data/factory reset and select using your optical touchpad

2.1) scroll to yes and select

3.) scroll to wipe cache partition and select using optical touchpad

3.1) scroll to yes and select

4.) scroll down to advanced and select

5.) scroll to wipe dalvik cache and select

5.1) scroll to yes and select

6.) scroll to wipe battery stats and select

6.1) scroll to yes and select

7.) click your back button(right of the touchpad)

8.) scroll to install zip from sdcard and select

9.) scroll to choose zip from sdcard and select

10.) scroll to your selected rom, and click the touchpad

you should now see it starting to load/install the rom. when its done, back out to the main menu if necessary and click reboot and WAIT!!! it will take a few minutes for everything to load up perfectly. once it loads up to the select screen, i would suggest waiting a couple more minutes for everything to load up before actually starting setup

and now you're done! you've wiped your phone, and installed a new rom! congrats!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
thanks for this.

to be clear, is it ok for me to rid myself of these codes:

adb shell
cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
rm -r *
cd /system/sd/app-private
rm -r *
exit

adb shell
wipe data
exit
adb reboot recovery

or was this just the code that the recovery is running instead of manually?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
what those codes do i sthe same thing that wipe commands do that i just described
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TheDjKiDD:
Is it necessary for me to wipe every time I flash a new ROM?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsoluteDesignz:
Being that CM6 (at least starting with the 8/03/2010 nightly) allows for custom home longpress task switchers I think that now is as good a time as any for this to be implemented...I remember seeing a video of a switcher in the works but I haven't heard any news since then...so does anyone know anything?

Was gonna ask this in Themes and Apps but it IS a question, and we know how ANAL some people here can be.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xrCore:
Never ask for ETAs. You will never get an answer. But you can speculate...and I bet ZodTTD will have it out by the end of this year. If not, oh well, he is clearly an iFanboy.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SmoothGuy2000:
Yes it is out for the iPhone, but requires Jailbreaking.

ZodTTD is the creator of 'Gameboy4iphone' & 'psx4all' and according to his website he's:

"After a long hiatus, I’m back to work on lots of iPhone & iPod Touch updates and even some iPad releases. First up are updates to allow all my current emulators to run on the iPad."

I could do with a N64 emulator for Droid, but I don't think hes going to do it soon..

it's his choice if he wants to develop it or not. If he doesn't want to develop for the droid that's up to him, Just because you guys want it (and i want it too) does not mean he has to use his own time to make it.

I don't understand why you all think you have a fundamental right to expect him to make it because you want it? bizzare!

[Vibrant General] brunes:
Just picked up my Vibrant today (Bell Canada version). So far, I am very happy.

However, one thing I thought I would be able to do with this phone (since it is DivX HD certified), would be to stream DivX over the network to it - either via Astro / SMB, or via the AllShare UPNP it comes with - without having to convert them.

Alas, neither of these seem to work. All I ever get is "video format not supported" or some-such from the built-in video player.

In anyone able to STREAM DivX avi or mkv files to this phone? I know my UPNP setup works because my BluRay player (also a Samsung, with "AllShare", BTW) can play it fine.
[Vibrant General] AquaeAtrae:
Based on my testing, Allshare's media playback definitely does not support all of the media formats/codecs that the primary video player supports. So while DivX and MKV videos work fine copied to your SD card, the current version of Allshare may not stream them wirelessly. I simply get an error message stating "Sorry, this video cannot be played"

This could be a matter of Allshare simply not using the same codecs, pending a possible update. ::crossing fingers:: Since both MKV and DivX are open standards, I don't imagine it would be a licensing / copyright restriction. I've personally found that while most XviD videos stream fine, a few will not. I haven't yet narrowed down the specifics.

I connected to my laptop with Windows Media Player, XBMC, and Samsung PC Share Manager thus far. Some of what I've read about various DLNA media servers suggest that real-time conversion may be an option in cases. These UPnP Media Adaptors transcode the files as it comes across. I have yet to look into that as a work-around but remain hopeful. [Update: It sounds like Nero Media Home may handle this well]

Ultimately, I foresee the Galaxy S (Transdroid) and DD-WRT (Transmission, uShare, external HDD) routers becoming the nexus of many home entertainment centers.
[Vibrant General] brunes:
Yeah... the device I use for my UPNP server is a router... so real-time conversion is for sure not an option.

Given that the player can play these files, it seems silly that AllShare can't read them. AllShare *is using* the native player. So it is somehow messing with the files, or making the wrong guesses as to what it can play.

I might contact Saumsung support about this, maybe if people raise a stink about it it will be fixed in the Sept. update?
[Vibrant General] Shammyh:
I have a Captivate, but I'm running into exactly the same problem.

I've used every "DLNA" supporting media server out there, transcoding or not, AllShare on my Galaxy S will not play it. It browses just fine, pictures work fine too, but video is a no-go.

What's really weird, is even after I get the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" error, if I go to properties->details, it shows me the correct duration, but a file size of "256.00GB". And I know the file in question plays beautifully when loaded onto my SD card, or the phone's internal memory. So what the heck is going on? Getting this to work on the Galaxy S would be an absolutely killer feature and I really hope more people get involved with this.
[Vibrant General] brunes:
I already sent a question to Samsung support through their website about it... I suggest you do the same. If enough people ask about it maybe a fix will make it into the rom update... there is obviously something wrong with it.

Unfortunately most on this forum seem to be using AllShare to play media from the phone on the TV, not the other way around.
[Vibrant General] Gr8gorilla:
same problem but it wont play any thing, including MP3's. I have media tomb setup as a media server and I can browse it all day long but cant stream a single anything.....really annoying.
[Vibrant General] MV10:
I have been able to stream mp4 videos from my NMT device (DragonTech ioBox, the A100-series of NMT hardware). That's it, though. No other formats will stream although I can browse for everything.

These are 720p mp4 files that I grabbed from YouTube.
[Vibrant General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i have the same problem too:/ dno wut to do!!!
[Vibrant General] brunes:
So.... UPNP problems are usually due to the headers sent to the player. If we knew what headers were being sent to the phone that *worked*, we might be able to know how to fix it.

I don't suppose you know how to use Wireshark? You can use it to sniff your network and see the HTTP headers being sent from your DLNA server to the phone.
[Vibrant General] MV10:
Not familiar with it, but I'm a developer In Real Life, I can figure it out. I'll have a look.
[Vibrant General] brunes:
Samsung support == horrible

So this is the email i sent

This is how they respond.

Basically, they totally ignored the question.

What's more, if i try to reply, the form is busted.

*Frustration*
[Vibrant General] theking52:
the thing with allshare i think is that whatever youre playing it on, has to be compatible with the file type.

i have a samsung c6500 bluray player that i use for allshare through vibrant which plays basically all formats, and i have no issue streaming anything to it through the phone.
[Vibrant General] brunes:
This thread is about doing the exact opposite.

The SGS/Vibrant can play Divx HD, heck it even has the Divx HD certified logo on the box. But if you try to stream it to the phone with AllShare, it does not work. If you copy it to the phone with USB, it works fine. So, AllShare is busted.

I don't want to play movies from my phone to my TV, I can't even think when I would ever want to do that. But playing movies or TV from my media server on my phone while lying in bed, that is something I may want to do occasionally.
[Vibrant General] ritalin:
This is strange as I am not having ANY problems with streaming divx Avi files and even 720p M4V files through AllShare to my phone. I am however not able to stream my MKV files.

The only thing I see different is that I use Twonky for my UPNP server running from a Nettop PC I have setup as a server. They do have a trial for Twonky for those that want to see if it works for them. http://www.twonky.com/

The biggest disappointment for me is that AllShare FORCES wifi. I was hoping I could hack that feature out of AllShare through the Vibrant dumps available here, but I cant seem to find what Im looking for. In truth Im kind of new to editing code, so Im really just taking guess most of the time.

The reason I want this to work over 3g is that a simple VPN should allow me access to my UPNP server from where ever I am. At present I have this setup using Hamachi VPN on several PCs that belong to friends and family. This allows them access to my Twonky UPNP server that they can browse with XBMC. My Fios 30Mb up/ 30Mb down connection will even allow them to stream 720p video from me. I dont even notice the hit to my bandwidth sense UPNP is pretty light in terms of bandwidth.

Anybody want to take a stab at getting the wifi only portion of AllShare removed?
[Vibrant General] thequinox:
Same here. I have Twonky running on my unRAID server and I'm able to stream MP3s, JPGs, and DivX AVI files without a problem. However, as soon as I touch an MKV file I get an error. I really don't see why as I can play them back locally on my phone. Has anyone gotten anywhere with this?

mac1978 over on Android Forums has tried renaming MKV files with AVI extensions and he says that works. Absolutely ridiculous. Does this mean that AllShare has blacklisted MKVs, or is there some sore of glitch in the supported file format list? Either way, it's clear this is a software issue on Samsung's part. Any idea how we can get it fixed?

http://androidforums.com/samsung-ca...re-streaming-samsung-bs-my-final-impasse.html

The AllShare player itself isn't that intuitive. Considering Samsung is launching a PMP based on our phones seems ridiculous considering it's shortcomings. Maybe it will spark more development in this area.

EDIT: This post suggests the feature was working post 2.2. Does anyone have a Galaxy S still on 2.1 that can test this out for us?

http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/sho...es-via-ALLSHARE-since-upgrading-to-Froyou-2.2

[Vibrant General] thequinox:
Yes, well, at least you could get an email address. It appears the Canadian website doesn't even HAVE email support. All they give you is a phone number (1-800-726-7864) which as of right now, redirects you to the American support line who are unable to even talk to you. I was able to get the correct number from them (1-905-542-3837) and told them about the redirection issue. Hopefully they will resolve that.

Anyway, the girl I spoke to was just as unhelpful. She was friendly about it, but after looking it up she said the reason was because of "codecs?" and that AllShare can't do MKV. It can only stream MP3s and AVIs, or some other nonsense. Clearly the case is not codecs because as some have observed if you change an MKV extension to AVI it plays. It is using the correct codecs on the phone just fine. AllShare is just rejecting the MKV container for some reason.

Because this is phone support there's no way to really escalate things, so I was hoping someone could get a hold of a Canadian Samsung Mobile Support email address? If not maybe a helpful American can contact the US support team and find out what is going on.

[HD2 General] me:
Unlike those who have the HD2 but dislike Windows Mobile, and try to cover it up as much as possible, I have used many WM devices, from WM 2003 to WM5, and WM6.1, before this one. (I wouldn't say that I particularly like WM, but it is what I am used to.)

Now, having just received my HD2 yesterday, I am trying to learn Sense UI, see how it works, etc.

Sometimes, however, it would actually make things easier for me, to revert to the regular Windows Mobile settings screen that I am used to, rather than figuring out where those settings are in Sense. (For instance, I don't see the settings for Buttons in Sense at all.)

Is there a simple way, from Sense, to get to the WM settings (rather than Sense settings)?

Thanks for your input?

Hi.

Thanks for the response.

I didn't mean something like that, though, a permanent change through registry, back to the regular Windows settings. After all, I am just beginning to learn about Sense, want to try it out more, etc.

I am just wondering if there is some way, from Sense, that I can sometimes go to the regular Windows Mobile settings, rather than the Sense ones?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
oh right, i thought u meant when sense was disabled, because the real settings link in start menu is dissabled in many stock roms.

go to settings tab, click menu, all settings.
