Coming from an Touch HD too

Hi, we are in a similar situation. I switched to Galaxy S from a Touch HD last week.

Are you using Exchange e-mail? I receive e-mail fine from a POP account and hotmail. The integrated e-mail app is slow, but there are other clients on the market.

There are 4 USB modes. You first need to install the drivers that come with the Kies software. I've configured the phone so it asks me what mode to use each time. I've tried Kies mode, mass storage mode and Internet Share mode successfully.

I do not see force close pop-ups on mine. It depends on what apps you run, of course. Most apps on the market should run fine on Android 2.1. Also, I'm running ROM JM5 now (erased the one from my carrier loaded with logos and demo apps).

The issue of the lag, I don't know where they see it, mine is ****ing fast. At least for someone coming from Windows Mobile XDD. The GPS works better with this last ROM too, 30 seconds to first fix, 10 metes accurancy while on a bus, 5 meters walking.

Flashing is the same as in the Touch HD world. The flasher program is called Odin now. You need a PIT file, and the firmware you want to load. The firmware has 3 parts. PDA, Phone and CSC.

Do it this way:

- Open Odin, select "repartition", select the PDA, Phone and SCS files

- Power off the phone. Remove SIM and microSD card.

- Press vol down + Home + Power on. This will enter download mode

- Connect the phone to the computer now. It will install new drivers

- Press start on Odin. Flashing takes 5 minutes

There are leaked and cooked ROMS. The lastest Android 2.1 ROM is I9000XWJM5. By default it will boot in russian, go to settings, language and change it :-)

There are some Android 2.2 ROMs now, but they are not worth the trouble, too unfinished... we are waiting for an official 2.2 ROM. (and then will erase everything on the phone and start over with a clean, good, official Froyo ROM).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] THUDUK:
Thanks for your advise, what made you move from a HD to the Galaxy then ?

Do you prefer Android ?

I have been searching for the JM5 firmware and I am downloading it now, but cant find this pit file, have managed to find Odin.

What is Samset ?

I am on JF1 at the moment is it worth moving to JM5 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
You will find everything you need here...

SAMSUNG FIRMWARES

Yes JM5 sort of fixes GPS and it's overall faster etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
Odin, PIT file and ROMs can be found on the site linked on previous post.

I have been testing Android on the Touch HD for 3 months. Of course it's a lot slower and the battery is gone pretty fast. This is a proper Android phone, more CPU, more RAM, better drivers... Moves videos and 3D games very well.

I do not like Apple restrictive policies and censorship, so iphone is ruled out. Motorola Droids, HTC EVO and other recent models are not on sale on this country, so I settled for this heavily carrier-subsidized (80% savings) phone.

I like the bright, capacitive, multitouch screen the most. It's a nice change from the one on the Touch HD. The swipe keyboard works fine too. And the Hummingbird CPU moves pictures, videos and games like a Playstation. The camera has good color and detail, but more noise that the one on the Touch HD. The EXIF data says ISO 50, but they look like ISO800 on my digital camera. HD video recording is fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymugge:
Probably is this question really simple to anwser but I just cant get Android to execute a command at boot.

I tried putting the command in init & init.goldfish.sh, but it still isn't executed at boot.

For sure the syntax is correct!

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0rner:
In the most ROMs you can add the command to any file in /system/etc/init.d/ and it will be executed at boot.

Or, you can create a file in that folder, and set 755 permissions on it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymugge:
Great! Thank you so much!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xXJohnXx:
I was thinking how nice are HD2 is getting with all these amazing mods :)

Then i thought........we always show are today screen with all these mods and themes.

Yes .......it,s always how it is skinnend or wich icons we using and so on.

But all that go,s to wast without a great wallpaper :D

So i was thinking how about post your best wallpaper.

The 1 you always fall back on.

The 1 you always want on your phone ;)

The wallpaper maby it all started with.

This is not about how your homescreen looks like in the Leo Todayscreen thread.

This is about the wallpaper that always hits the spot.

So don,t post skins, only that wallpaper :cool:

I started with a wallpaper that i had when i got my Omnia.

I had it as lockscreen, homescreen and i cropped it for spb mobile shell.

So to begin.

This is my all time favourite wallpaper that never leave,s my HD2.

Come on and show your homescreen with that wallpaper that you think is your all time favourite and post the wallpaper.

Please only 1 wallpaper because there only can be 1 favourite :)

My guess is we will get a nice collection to add on are HD2 or other Phone.

Thx and greetz :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Here is mine!

This is my all time favorite wallpaper. I dont know why but as i see it for the first time i loved it.

But anyday i lost it as i did a hardreset of my pc. After a long search and the help from guys here on xda i found it again. THX for helping.

This pic i had on all my other devices i had before.

This was the little story to this Wallpaper. :D

[Touch HD Accessories] delewin:
Hi All,

I have a Touch HD and I am looking at replacing my battery, as I have one of the first released and the battery has come to the end of its useful life.

I have noticed that the genuine HTC 1350mV part no: 35H00120-01M has 2 metal contacts on the top right and left corners of the flat side of the battery.

All the non-genuine batteries do not have these 2 metal 'contacts' on the flat side of the battery.

When I put a multimeter across them, it shows that they are connected to each other, but not connected to the actual battery terminals. By that I mean, there is no voltage drop when I connect one of these terminals to any one of the main power terminals of the battery.

I have looked at the HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual and it shows that these contacts connect to a metal plate. This plate could be a shield or a heat sink for the battery.

Can anyone advise me just what are these 2 contacts used for?

Are they necessary?

Will my reception suffer, if I use a non genuine battery such as one of the extended batteries?

If all 3rd party batteries don't come with these, can I assume they are not needed?

If they are not needed, then why did HTC see fit to have them in place?

Thank you in advance.

David
[Touch HD Accessories] casefan7:
I guess this is for grounding purposes.

i am currently using a after market replacement battery, there is no such 2 metal 'contacts' on the battery. The replacement battery works very well with my phone. It is even works better than genuined one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GruvyDude:
To all of you braniacs(term of endearment) out there, we need an app that you can control call flow, direct calls to vmail, play certain ring tones based on caller-id filters.

Now Im not talking about creating a contact and performing actions that way. Take the following table for instance. So based on the caller-id coming into the phone, Android would take certain actions.

Direct to VMAIL filter

641-654-XXXX

319-2XX-[1-5]XX[0,2,4,6,8]

Play RingTone1 filter

641-654-8900

319-244-547X

Etc, you get the picture. I think it would be a great app and you could probably make some coin off of it in the market. Unfortunately I dont even have the foggiest clue to building something like this otherwise I would make the benjamins instead of throwing the idea out there. :)

Gruvydude
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
aFirewall in the market does that, except ringtones, email him with that suggestion.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GruvyDude:
Awesome, thanks for that reply. I will check it out.

Gruvy
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GruvyDude:
Just FYI, that app does not support number ranges or wildcards in a 10-digit format. So say i wanted to block all calls from 641-787-5XXX. No way to issue the filter mask. Only explicit entries.

It does work however, dont even get the ring... dumps them directly to vmail.

Anything else I can do or try?

Thanks Guys :)

took phone to bits,cleaned and blew out dust,put back together

phone seems to be working ok again??????

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexmundo:
Hi,

This is really weird.

This particular page:

h*t*tp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8906329.stm

(obviously without the *'s!) crashes my stock browser. I am running OD 3.2.1 but had same issue with 3.1.1.

Only that page so far, that I can remember.

Rest of BBC news website, Iplayer etc works fine.. Just that one page.

No FC errors, the page just disappears from screen and end up @ home screen. Browser process is no longer open.

reboot and clear dalvik cache no help. Also cleared browser cache and config, but no cigar.

Anyone else having issues?

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TractorMatty:
I'm glad I'm not the only one! This is happening to me too - I first noticed the problem on exactly the same page last night when trying to check the football scores.

I thought nothing of it at first, but then today noticed pretty much all the BBC Sport Football team pages had much the same effect. The majority of the page is displayed, and just before completion the screen goes blank and takes me back to the home page. When I restart the browser, it defaults to the home page.

I too tried clearing the cache, cookies, history etc. but this didn't help. What I did notice however is that switching the "Enable plug-ins" Setting in the browser from "Always on" to "On demand" stopped the problem occurring - but I consider that a workaround, and not a fix.

At the moment I'm guessing it may be something to do with Flash on the BBC Sport pages. I'm not sure what's changed though - as I never had this problem before, and I've not (yet) had this problem elsewhere.

I'm using stock Froyo 2.2 on an unbranded Orange handset.

I too would appreciate any input on this one - but will also try searching a few more threads to see if this has been reported elsewhere.

Matt
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexmundo:
Thanks fo the "on demand" tip..

That seems to have sorted that page.

Something is certainly fishy.

Iplayer is now telling me that it doesnt support my browser.

I had to change the user agent to Iphone (I'll need to wash my mouth now)

to get it to work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TractorMatty:
BBC iPlayer seems fine for me - but most pages on the BBC Football site seem to crash the browser.

I found some mention of similar issues on another forum - but with the Evo 4G. In those cases there appeared to be 2 fixes suggested, neither of which appeal.

The first was to download an Adobe Flash 10.1 APK file, but this didn't seem to work for everyone, and I think it unlikely that will be a more recent one than the one we've just received with the Froyo update.

The second option was to do a factory reset and start over. :mad:

I'm not about to rush into either of these - although if I can find a version of the Adobe flash player that's definitely newer than the one we have, I may try that.

EDIT: I found the updated flash player APK on another XDA board here. This was version 10.1.92.8 (as opposed to 10.1.72.7 on the phone). It didn't make any difference for me, so I uninstalled it again.

I'm recreating the default theme from Windows Mobile (6.5.3 to be exact) on my Sony Ericsson W980, and require a complete or near-complete rip of the graphics from the Classic Blue theme.

Is there any way to extract the default graphics used for menu items (such as the bottom toolbar, softkey buttons, etc.)?

In addition to the above, One of the best things to do is set up Opera Mobile to actually close when hitting the "x". That may be covered by disabling push internet but I don't think so. By default, opera is always running in the background.
