[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
Issues I've noticed so far: (Maybe nitpicking but I'm comparing it to all my other Androids)

- Live Wallpaper could be smoother. It's pretty smooth but on such a large screen, little glitches are very noticeable.

- Though the keyboard is a lot more comfortable to use without the numpad throwing the right thumb off, the responsiveness is gone from the previous keyboard. But I'm sticking with it cause its alot better looking than 'Better Keyboard' or 'Smart Keyboard'

- No pinch-to-zoom on pictures in the gallery...very disappointing

- Pinch-to-zoom for maps is there, but responsiveness needs work. Almost as bad as Blackberry Torch's pinch-to-zoom. HAHAHA

- Photos seem more saturated than when it was running 1.6. Even affects photos when being used as 'Picture Frame' widget.

- Aside from the saturation of pictures though, the screen display overall is impressive. Quality has improved, sharpness has improved, the HD-feel is there for the home screens. I could even say that it is comparable to the iPhone 4, and better than the Galaxy S display. Theres room for improvements though... better font for icon titles, increase sharpness, less colour overflow.
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
I can confirm that this ISN'T the case and all my apps carried over perfectly :D
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Fards, Does this give access to missing market apps? I guess I need to be root'd to do this?
[Streak 5 General] Amdathlonuk:
Excellent!......... *goes and finds gmail conversion* :D
[Streak 5 General] fards:
it did for me, but others claim it doesnt work..

I already signed in with a gmail account and found apps were missing, so I read up on it and several people said to clear the dalvik cache, so I did and the apps came back..

yeah you need root, the universal one click root thing is so easy to do and undo that its fairly painfree...
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Thanks fards, I'm all rooted. Deleted the cache files but I still cannot access the some apps on the market....lookimg for an alternative fix now
[Streak 5 General] Chirurg:
I just installed 2.1 on my device.

But I liked the 1.6 builds better, now how do I get back there?

Also I think about selling my device to get an unlocked one, but for that I'd need the stock rom on it!

Sorry for all the noobish questions, I'm new to Android and my I'm kinda desperate sinnce my Streak is locked and Rebel Sim doesn't work for me...:-(

Anyone out there willing to help me out?

I just someone to run this command with their phone hooked up, USB Debugging ENABLED:

adb shell ls -l -R /sys/class > class_structure_ERIS.txt

This will output a text file in whichever directory you run the command from, that will list the hardware capabilities of the phone for me - this would help me IMMENSELY from a development standpoint!

Check out the text file - zero personal / private information will be in there!

Thanks!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doward:
Ok, let's start simple then.

Try this:

Run "adb shell" (minus the quotes)

At the new prompt, just type "ls" (again, no quotes) and see what you get.

If you get a directory listing, continue - if you get an error, post the error here.

If you DO get a directory listing, try this -

cd /sys/devices

and see if that gives you an error...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon1018:
Got it to work and push out the text files. I did not realize when you posted this was that your looking for a stock eris. I have a nan backup of the stock eris prior to installing roms. Obviously I already have root access at this point so I dont know if that is gonna help. Let me know Ill keep the files on hand
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doward:
I definitely prefer non-rooted, if it's not too much trouble :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
[Edit]

Sorry, what I wrote earlier won't do you a bit of good, you need someone with a rooted live phone, since /sys is created on the fly by the booted kernel. (I missed that by reading too quickly).

I might be able to get to it, but it will take a little bit of time.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Here you go (attached).

For what it is worth, here's some details on the state of the phone this was extracted from:

- Cupcake MR2 (1.17.605.1) PB00IMG.ZIP components (boot, recovery, system, data, radio) flashed & booted

- OTA2.1 (pre-July OTA) accepted

- after OTA2.1 completed & booted, OTA2.1+ (July 17 OTA) accepted and run

- after completetion of 7/17 OTA install, boot up (no Google account setup) & perform Factory Reset

- boot after FR; no activation and no Google account setup.

- shutdown. Install Amon_RA recovery via S-OFF bootloader and fastboot

- boot Amon_RA; make Nandroid Backup.

(The preceding steps took place 7/17/2010)

Tonight, I restored the 7/17 "clean" 7/17 OTA2.1+ Nandroid backup, and then:

- overflashed engtools3.zip

(This is a minimal root kit containing only "su", "SuperUser.apk", and "flash_image"; the latter is not used)

Then, your files were generated via an ADB shell promoted to root via "su".

In passing, I note that the HTC toolbox version of "ls", when invoked as 'ls -l -R' does not list major,minor device numbers for special device files - is that needed?

Baseband version: 2.42.01.04.27

Kernel version: 2.6.29-8a03cb9a htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number: 2.37.605.4 CL185970 release-keys

Software number: 2.37.605.4

PRI Version: 2.11_002

PRL Version: 51919

Just out of curiosity - what's this needed for?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doward:
Long story short, I'm collecting as much underlying (Linux, not so much Android) hardware information as I can, so that I can compile a list of what phones have what hardware available for direct hardware access.

I've noticed in my short stint of Android programming, that a LOT of hardware features are left on the table in individual phones. I'd like to get some of those back ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] reddevilx:
Hello, i'm looking for a simple app that logs cell-id every 15-30 mins, even when the cell is in standby (i'm using wm6.5) i'm searching that app from a year and i haven't found nothing useful.

I need to keep a log of where i have been, but i don't need the precision of the gps (and the power cosumption) the only program that is nearly useful is commmgrpro, but it doesn't store anything when the phone is in standby, actually it have a function that wakes up the phone, but i don't like that the screen flashes every time that it works.

Anyone know something like what i'm looking for?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
you might like to look into my app LocationAware(link in my signature)... it is not exactly what you want but it might be better. you can configure it to capture and store all the cellids configured interval can be 2-60 mins and then there is a desktop app which will generate a map from all the locations you have visited.

feel free to post a query in the related forum

thanks,

Mohit

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Is there a way to start fresh with a stock clean Android ROM for SGS

then install only the Apps that we want?

instead of doing it this way

Apps that can be deleted due root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712546

which is going backward, erasing all the stuff you don't want in your phone and probably leaving unwanted files left behind
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kgk888:
Probably not until someone cooks a ROM like OpenDesire for the Galaxy S. I have to agree that it seems to be a little backwards with how ROMs are approached. I too would rather just have a stock Android I can then modify myself minus all the Facewhore, Douchespace and Twatter integration constantly creeping up everywhere.

Everyone I know that uses Android syncs their contacts with their Google account, which makes reloading my address book much easier after swapping ROMs. So the automatic Facebook info pulling that's left in many of the Galaxy S ROMs is useless and a waste of space.

But yea, the very top of the list in the dev section, sticked in bold should be Stock/Vanilla/Stripped Android ROM(when someone bakes it), and then all the custom bakes below it. A good majority of us prefer the minimalist, efficient approach of stock Android over all these poor attempts at reinventing the wheel (I'm looking at you TouchWiz)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i know that most SGS ROM Cooks and Chefs are waiting for Froyo to come out, before spending some quality time on developing good ROMs for our phones

so lets wait 'till next month when Samsung says it'll release Froyo, and lets see how it all develops from there..... i can't wait for a clean Android to start making my own ROMs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r3loaded2010:
All this talk of cooking and baking ROMS with Android chefs is making me hungry!

Can't wait for my 2.2 dessert! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psternx:
I'd really love to see a clean froyo rom without most of the stuff preinstalled by samsung. Maybe it's then possible to use bluetooth with a wiimote, when no touchwiz is installed at all.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
Well, on release date I ran to the bell store on got my new shiny galaxy s i9000m. Since then I have had my phone cut off. I called mother bell to find they think my phone has been tethered with my laptop (which was stolen last sunday ) even though I have never tethered with this phone. It seems it is logging my web surfing data properly but any data an app uses seems to be counted as out of plan tendering. Before u ask I do have an "unlimited data" plan and am keeping 3g usage well under 5gb. First is anyone else having this fight with bell and do u think it could have something to do with apn settings. My phone is not rooted (yet) as I want to leave everything stock until they fix the billing issue.

It is increasing my bill by between $200 and $500. What a joke
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
this is the reason i don't want to use bell

good lord Fido, protect us all :D

sorry to hear that, but thanks for share, it is definitely something we should be aware of.

SGS i9000 phone is a data hungry device, specially if you have lots of sync with emails, facebook, tweet, weather, etc, etc....

but regardless of any of that, even if you go as far as backing up your ROM to an online storage, it will not consume so much data

the worst part is WTH is wrong with Bell? you got the unlimited data plan, so why the hell are they trying to charge you $500

this is ridiculous. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
They think that app data on the phone is tethered data. And being that I don't have a tendering plan they are charging me $6 per mb. Nice huh. After they told me to pay and get lost twice I went to the store and had a fit. Store believed me and got hung up on when trying to fix the issue with the call center. They are escalating it but in the mean time I am accumulatING lots is coin on my bill
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d3a:
I am having the very same issue as you on bell with the i9000. I am covered under the new 6GB plan but i am getting charged pay per use an well as in plan usage. I am alreeady over 100mb in pay per use (600$ i beleive) even though i never tether my phone and tethering is included anyways.... I called bell and they said i shouldnt have to worry about anything once my bill comes as it will be taken care of... i sure hope so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
They are full of it. They will bill u if it is being marked as out of plan. I have a hand delivered mail from them telling me I owe $2000 for tethering . I can add your info into my general complaint if u want. Pm me and I can pass your info onto the regional manager the local store is dealing with to prove they need to fix there ****

On a side note my apn looks to be setup to use the phone for tethering and does not use the suggested nexus one apn settings again I feel that all data NOT traveling over port 80 or not travelling through the browser is being considered tethering by their proxy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
Unlimited data isn't a normal plan option so maybe they're confused. I didn't even think you could get unlimited data. I know they had unlimited mobile browsing but I would think that's just web browsing if you grandfathered that feature in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
I have a very old grandfatherd smartphone data plan. At the time they offered 500mb or unlimited. The trick is unlimited means 5gb and then they start pulling out the network abuse card to have legal course to shut down your data. Kinda like the unlimited plans in the US.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
Well, definitely keep arguing with them, but unless your plan is godly you can also grab 6 GB of data for $30, which includes tethering. Then they can't accuse you of tethering anymore, so they'll just accuse you of roaming data charges instead >_>

Have you had an HSPA smartphone before or just CDMA ones? If this is your first HSPA phone maybe the plan transfer from CDMA didn't go properly. This is Bell we're talking about, staffed by idiots.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
that is a good point. I did have a cdma smartphone b4 so I never know. I am paying $40 for my data but that also includes enhanced vm, unlimited txt and mms, and caller is so I will have trouble giving up what I have as to add those features to the data plan u have would cost more than what I pay now. Currently I have an awesome plan setup between two phones and if I had to restructure it would cost way more
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ArcanaXVIII:
You might want to check you APN settings.

Some carriers use different APN for phone data and tethered data.

In my case, first time I booted my GS, it was the thethered data APN that was selected and I had to change it (hopefully I always check APN settings when using a new phone).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
That is exactly what I was think as one of my posts stated. Thank-you for the confirmation on that. Mine is set to inet.bell.ca which on bells site is used if u want to tether. Because I am on an older smartphone plan I believe it is thinking all app data is tethered data.

P. S. These forum posts have cost me like $10 as I am using the xda app. Lol. They are saying they will get back to me mid next week about this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
I just checked and my APN is also inet.bell.ca. I don't know if it's supposed to be something else but when I go to self serve it says I've been using data in-plan. I'm covered for tethering anyway, but still, if that's the tethering APN they shouldn't make it the default for this reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
I'm Getting billed fine.. Mine is set to inet.bell.ca .. I just checked my un-billed usage and it shows all usage in-plan Data use. I have used about 20meg since the 8th also I just have 500meg data plan a month..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
I agree. The settings for the nexus one are different and probably the right ones for my data plan however I don't want to change them yet as they will probably tell me that I must have stopped tethering after I got the letter from bell and stick me with the charges. Until mid next week I need to be able to reproduce the issue so I van prove they are retarded.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
Are u on a data plan that includes tethering? I think all the data plans within the last year have. I have an older one that is saving me money over the new ones
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
Ya all the new plans do included Tethering.. just checked... your likely right as to the reason this is happening to you.. the computer system is not seeing that you have a data plan.. might take a few level up to fix that for you but I have a feeling if this is what is happening there are others as well having the same issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d3a:
yeah Im going to call in right now and tell them to fix it right away, Im rightfully paying for my 6GB data package, I WILL NOT pay them a cent more than I agree to. 30$ is quite enough already for 6GB.

BTW i changed it to pda.bell.com and it seems to be working... ill keep you guys informed.

On a side not, if they were smart i think they would charge at least simi reasonable rates for out of plan data usage while roaming or not... ie 1$ per megabyte. That way people would travel with their phones and actually bring in more revenue for said provider... I dont carry my phone while i travel because of the ridiculous 54$/mb.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
Lol. Without roaming ire is 6 per meg. I just calculated the total they think i owe and it Ian up to $ 3408 since Aug 6th. Gotta love it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that exactly is.

Bell is stuck in the ancient times, they believe only WAP and port 80 browsing is web, and everything else is over use.... like WTF? wake up, we are in the 21s century already, we are not stuck in web only phones.

At least Fido and Rogers are less knuckle heads as Bell

I called and they said wait until I get the bill till i dispute it because the numbers may be wrong until final tally... ill get back to you guys in 2 weeks then
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
I hope you are not referring to the "unlimited data" plan with the HTC touch. Because that plan was actually just unlimited mobile browsing, the trick is the touch is the only smart phone you are allowed to use that plan on. *Any other* smartphone, your data will be out of plan.

IE unlimited mobile browsing is useless with the Vibrant. You have to geta 500 MB or 1 GB or 6 GB plan.

I had a touch too, and the unlimited data was great, but I knew when I switched phones i would have to pay more for a data plan.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
I live in australia, so I guess it might be different here... but that sounds ridiculous.

If you have a sim from your carrier, the plan connected to that sim should be usable on any phone. And unless the phone has some built-in carrier specific detection software, how would they be able to tell what phone you're using, whether it be touch or sgs or whatever.

Just my thoughts on the matter. again, I don't live in usa/canada.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
exactly, unfortunately we do have some stupid cell phone carriers here in north america, more in Canada than in USA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
lol, sounds like it.

clearcase: good luck mate, if they don't fix up the problem give them hell!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] riz157:
You guys are getting screwed by bell in the states. Glad we don't have that issue in the UK.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
No no. Unlimited data from a touch pro. Costs 40 per month and comes with every other feature. It is what I used on my palm pre prior to this phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
The Touch is not a GSM phone, it is a CDMA phone.

As above, it is CDMA. But that aside, it is trivial for GSM operators to know what phone you are using because or the IMEI.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
This sounds to me like MObile Browsing, which does work on the Pre.. but will not work on the SGS.

Look at your old bills, is the line item "Unlimited Mobile Browsing" ?

If it is you are SOL.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clearcase:
No, it is smartphone unlimited. The unlimited mobile browsing is 10 bucks and was not available for touch pro or pre. They checked my plan at time of purchase and said everything was fine. I still think it is apn settings and the plan I have conflicting. If I change to pda.bell. ca I bet the issue goes away
