[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
No doubt the Evo timing was a factor. But Sprint's rollout of the Epic was reportedly delayed even with the shortages of Evos in the channel. Sprint desperately wants to sign customers up to contracts on its premium 4G service, but hasn't been able to deliver enough 4G-capable phones.

Sprint and Verizon are very much under the gun to fix the GPS before release, since it is now a well-known problem with the Galaxy S series. If they pull the trigger and deliberately release products known to be defective, that makes them much more liable to criticism than their early-release competitors, and makes lots of customers angry. (Not all customers are fanboys.) T-Mobile and AT&T can sort of pretend they didn't know. I doubt that. But certainly the U.S. consumers were not as aware of the GPS problem as they are now. In spite of efforts to deny the problem exists, the word is getting out. :)

If I were Sprint's (or Verizon's) management, I would have insisted to Samsung that they fix the GPS before release, and that my priority is at the top of the queue. And I would have told my own developers to integrate the new GPS firmware into the initial release. Now Sprint can brag about that, and point to its competitors still awaiting a remedial update.

I am unaware of an announcement from T-Mobile that Froyo is being delivered OTA in September. I have seen a general announcement attributed to Samsung about its own Froyo schedule, plus enthusiastic and wishful speculation that T-Mobile would be able to do its final branded rollout immediately next month. But all the carriers still have work to do on their own branded variants after Samsung's delivery of Froyo in the refrence release. Or Samsung has to do that customization work for them.

Total mess

I just accepted it to my rooted Vibrant. I was able to use GPS services, but they seemed slow to lock. That said, it wasn't very noticeable as a problem.

In any case, accepted, phone downloaded and then rebooted to the white-on-black "Vibrant" screen -- where's it's stayed for at least 15 minutes. About to call tech support before I just force another reboot. :mad:
[Vibrant General] stickplayer:
Don't install on rooted phone

Right now, after the update, the phone is bricked and T-Mobile say "too bad". Escalated, but "we have no troubleshooting steps - the phone is considered broken and not under warranty"

Guys - any help here from XDA?
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Start your own thread, and don't bump old threads. Start a new one describing your problem, people will offer help.

I say, grab Odin, the new OTA JI6 image and follow instruction and flash it onto your phone.
[Vibrant General] lorddart:
Well can't really blame t mobile I see a lot of people screwing them because they bricked their phone cause it was modded and got replacement. If you mess with your phone it is your responsibility. the answer is posted about thirty times but just use Odin in download mode to get back to stock then flash the update
[Vibrant General] stoanhart:
I'm in your shoes too: Wind customer, unlocked T-mo Vibrant in Canada. I'm not expecting to get the OTA update, but I'm not too bothered about it either. Once it is released, Cyanogen will release their own version of Froyo for the Vibrant, and I will just install that.

Besides, I have hopes the CM 6.1 will not have the screwy baseband selection problem that the T-Mobile ROM has. Do you have that problem, where you have to disable the 850Mhz GSM band in the service menu or the phone refuses to connect to Wind's service, choosing to roam on Rogers instead? All Vibrant on Wind users I've spoken to have had it. It seems that T-Mobile programmed it to prefer GSM over UMTS... does T-Mo even have any non-AWS towers?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piplos:
Hi there,

I was just asking to myself why HTC did remove the "flip" effect to the clock widget, the one that come with sense ui in the Hero phone. Did anyone know the answer?

I really liked that effect, how sad. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The hero had massive problems with both Lag and battery drain when it first came out.

HTC's smart answer was the blame it on the flipping clock so in an early 1.5 (android os) update they removed it.

Problem solved.....not dumbasses

anyway someone made a hacked version back for android 2.1 on the hero and battery and lag were non-existent.

Htc could re-introduce it but they won't.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piplos:
Thanks for the answer. Where can I find the hacked flip clock widget? It works also on 2.2 firmwares?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Indeed! The "catch up" flip got dropped because it was perceived to be a cause of the lag issues, but its been shown now that this was never the case.

I miss the flip! :(

Dave

Hi, I'm using android on my hd2, I know power issues are a common problem. I'm currently using set CPU to ease battery drainage. After using juice plotter, I've found the mobile web (apn) been costantly on to be a big cause of battery loss. Is there a decent program on marketplace that will limit the access time of the mobile web. I've tried juice defender but found it not to work. Any other ones out there.

[Android Apps and Games] beatts:
Thanks for the reply ill give it a try. It seems that its only a toggle for sync / apn. I was looking more for a schedule. Ie turn on automatically for a set time then off again. I know juice defender. Does this but as I say. For me apn is still active. When the program should have disabled. It. The interface isn't very good. And no option for customising individual programs. So does anyone know of a program that will help. Due to trial and error I've found to save battery on rooted Droid, make sure all your emails are ticked off as read or apn will constantly try download them constantly. With huge battery drain

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] anheuer:
Hey Guys,..

I have this little annoyance.

When ever i add pictures to my phone,

or delete pictures from my phone,

The gallery doesnt update!

Meaning,

When i add pictured to my phone, i dont see them in the gallery.

When i remove pictures from my phone, i still see them in the gallery.

And if i delete the pictures using the gallery it will remove them.

But not if i delete them using OI File Manager

The only way to get it to show whats current, is my rebooting my phone.

does anyone else have this?

Could there be something i need to exclude from my task killer which provides this service?

Its not a biggy, but its very annoying if i have to reboot my phone everything i want to see the adjustments.

p.s. it doesnt happen when i take pictures with my phone camera,

Then it does seem to update.

Right now I'm using Handcent SMS and it's okay but I'm missing a very usefull feature: Marking some text in a recived SMS and send it to another app.

Example:

If I recive a adress then then mark it and send it to maps.

If I recive a appointment then mark it and send it to the calender

Is there an SMS app that can do this? and have all the other great features of Handcent?
[Android Apps and Games] Bateluer:
I am not aware of an sms app that can do that. There are copy/paste apps that can get addresses over to Nav as a work around though.
[Android Apps and Games] mbeltoft:
I'm using the copy/paste trick now but I think it culd be done easier.

Am I really the first one who thought of this?

I'm not a developer but I think it would be somewhat easy to make.

1. make it possible to mark out some of the text in a sms

2. pop up a menu with options: Save as.., copy, send to..

3. a sub menu to send to where it list the apps that should receive the text. maps, contacts, calender, whatever

Well now the idea is out there, then I home some developer picks it up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] papadcha:
I read the flame thread about Feeyo's Rom.

The thread has been locked and there's is no reason to re-discuss.

Both sides have their rights for what happen. The loosers for all these are the users who wish to use Feeyo's Roms and they did not found even a single thread to forward them to Feeyo's Roms - Site.

Unlike this treatment to these users there are link to Rom (I did not mention which one everybody can easily found which one) that contains not free software as Launcher Pro Plus Tapatalk Pro maybe more. By the way roufianos asked to remove such software from his rom to remain the link in the forum.

Sorry for my English and respect the users to have possibility to try even more roms.

As an idea you can characterized these Roms as NON GPL or something like this.

With Respect to your Work and other Developers Work but also with respect to the Freedom of Choice.

Charalampos Papadopoulos
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Chances are this topic is another candidate to get locked.

Have you even read the post about the GPL? Do you understand why "NON-GPL" topics are not allowed on here?

It isn't about freedom of choice. The GPL license is all about freedom - copyright freedom (hence its copyleft nature). The face that developers wish to live in their capitalist copyright world and not share their progress with others is appalling and IMHO shouldn't be tolerated.

So you asked about the users. They aren't really affected. Feeyo deleted his website - hence why no links are remaining in use. This was nothing to do with XDA but he himself having a hissy fit.

AFAIK none of the remaining ROM's being discussed here use Launcher Pro Plus or Tapatalk Pro. Many use Launcher Pro but that is free anyway. Please report any which are not complying to the mods and they can deal with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Thread locked. Please read btdag's post.

Please report any ROMS using warez and I will personally investigate with the other mods.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MartinEve:
Hi all,

Looking to build my first custom Rom and had some queries terminology-wise.

What is the relationship between the kernel and Google's android platform? For instance, is froyo tied to a specific kernel and is this in the source tree?

Second q: HTC release their kernel sources. Say I wanted to get a froyo build up for a device that currently only has eclair, would the procedure be to diff the HTC modifications against the vanilla version and then make the appropriate changes to froyo?

Third q: what makes a Rom specific to a device? Probably linked to first question...

Many thanks,

Martin
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gnarlyc:
The kernel is basically just a linux kernel with device specific drivers and such added. I've done a 'diff' between the Eris 2.6.29 kernel from HTC and the 'generic' 2.6.29 kernel from kernel.org. It's kind of neat to see the difference. I highly recommend you do that.

There are also device specific drivers in the file structure that the ROM needs in order to function.

What I've done is compile AOSP from source, compile the kernel from source, zip up the needed files/folders, signed the ROM, and then flashed it to test. If you look at Android Builder in my sig, you can figure out the difference between the Eris and your device. You'll have to change the kernel that gets downloaded, of course. And it really just gives you a basic ROM without the device specific drivers, so things will not work without figuring the rest out. Grab a stock ROM to get drivers, libs, etc. out of.

/system/usr/keychars & /system/usr/keylayout usually have the keyboard drivers, which are somewhat important.

Also in my sig is the SgtShultz ROM where I tried to make a usable ROM from as close to source as possible. You might get some ideas from there. I still haven't figured out how to get the audio to work. If I get that worked out, I'll actually start using the ROM daily and work out the rest!

Froyo seems to work with kernel versions 2.6.29+, btw.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MartinEve:
Many thanks for this; it's given me a good set of places to start reading.

Just pulling down all the AOSP source as we speak, with the hopes of getting a basic build up in the near future :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MartinEve:
A couple of questions on this front...

I can see, obviously, where to get the kernel source and needed drivers; I am, however, unclear as to where I should obtain AOSP drivers from (to go, for instance, in /devices/htc/buzz and/devices/htc/buzz-common). Can I extract these from my device? (or do I need to wait until they release Froyo and then extract them from a device running the newer build?) Where on the device should I be looking for this driver set?

Thanks again,

Martin
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gnarlyc:
For the most part, any Eclair drivers seem to work. At least that's what I have used for the Eris. 2.1 -> 2.2 isn't too big of a jump. I used drivers from a stock 2.1 ROM.

Look up vendor tree, vendor config, and 'extract-files.sh'. You'll see what people with other devices have done. I have yet to quite get the whole vendor tree thing worked out, but others have. You can just come up with a list of needed drivers to add to the 'extract-files.sh' script and just copy those files in manually. (That's what I have done.) This will get pretty close to making an AOSP build complete. However, it appears that actually using the vendor tree setup while compiling will get things 'right'. There appear to be some libs that will compile differently for different devices.

So, basically, if you compile AOSP without a vendor tree for your device, the build will be located in out/target/product/generic. (And, you can copy drivers in later while using the kitchen, but you might miss out on some AOSP stuff with device-specific changes.) If you use the vendor tree, it will be in /out/target/product/buzz and will contain the drivers that the 'extract-files.sh' script grabbed from your device along with custom compiled libs.

If you are able to get a working vendor tree for your device, it will be helpful to the entire community. They'll all be able to use it for their builds. I highly recommend doing that. Most groups use github or something similar to post the code.

I still have much to learn myself, and you are starting to reach my limit! Good stuff.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MartinEve:
Hi,

Many thanks for your reply; to a degree, it's about knowing the terms to search for -- the extract-files.sh is a godsend for information that I would have otherwise missed.

Anyway, onwards to build a usable vendor tree ;)

Best,

Martin

[Vibrant General] lianglqufo:
I am considering getting a Samsung Vibrant these days. There is one thing that bother me a lot.

I am a student from China. And I am getting a prepaid SIM from T-mobile without any kind of plan right now for the price reason.

I was wondering if I got a unlocked Samsung Vibrant from eBay and use it on the T-mobile network, do I have to pay for the data plan?

The thing is I owned a AT&T Fuze before and everything works fine on the T-mobile network except for the 3G. That's okay for me cuz I don't use 3G anyway. But there is one time that my friend who is on AT&T network borrow my Fuze for couple days, and AT&T just added the data plan for it automatically. My friend try to call the staff in AT&T and they said that since HTC Fuze is a smart phone from AT&T, it require a data plan so he cannot cancel it. And they can tell when he insert the SIM card and AT&T will get the IMEI from him automatically.

I just wondering will the same thing happen in T-mobile? 30$/month is way to much for me.

BTW, there is another question for you guys. There is a lot of unlocked Galaxy S on eBay, which is nice. I was wondering how they get it unlocked? Can I get them unlocked right in the "carrier shop"? Or there is other ways that I can get the unlocked code?

Thx you guys anyway for answering these questions. BIG HAPPY FACE:D
