[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I believe that the GPS is indeed a problem in quite a few Samsung Galaxy phones..... but whether not your GPS will work or not is a luck of a draw since there are people who have absolutely no problems then people who have completely non-functioning AGPS.

GPS is a very important function for me. I use it almost daily on my phone. if not for navigation, for quick searching of businesses etc.

I figure if the Epic I receive doesn't have functioning GPS, i'm going to return it for another until I get one that does work.

As for the review, its about as UN-biased as I've seen Engadget. If you thought the Epic review was biased, you must not have read the iPhone 4 VS Evo article they posted awhile ago. I was actually surprised that Gizmodo, which is like BIASED-APPLECENTRAL, had such a positive review of the epic!
[Epic 4G General] it.:
Yeah, engadget reviews are pretty bad. It has a negative vibe throughout the review and at the end they call it "killer." Talk about a roller coaster ride
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadow591:
So i have a Macbook Pro and i want to tether it to my phone via USB as to save battery vs Wifi Tether so I want to know is there any way to tether to My Computer with out running Bootcamp.

Android Phone Shows up under network connections but refuses to connect. :mad:

I also don't want to see anyone say use PDA net because it blocks HTTPS unless you buy it.

I'm Running Damage Control 3.5 Froyo.

Apparently Sprint made it so enabling hotspot or USB tether disables 4G and 3G.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DXL007:
You can use WiFi tethering and still plug your phone in and charge via USB. This will allow you to tether and charge at the same time. Other that PDA Net there is no other option.

I saw Cyanogen's latest tweet about the RC2 for his CM6 rom and that it's available here, his site and in rom manager. The problem is when i go to rom manager all i see for cyanagen is the nightlies. Should there be a seperate listing for the RC2 in there, or is the nightly from the day he released RC2 what i need to download.

I did purchase rom manager and have deleted and reinstalled it. I've also been searching on and off for the last couple of days but haven't found what i'm looking for. I'm currently running fresh rom right now but wanted to check out the latest CM6 build.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRick10:
Just download it and reboot into recovery and it will be in your download folder. Flash it and your done. Make sure you wipe if your coming from a different rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stillryan:
I know that i can flash it that way, and i will later tonight. I'm just trying to see why it doesn't show up in rom manager as RC2, or if it is even supposed to show that like that. I have yet to actually flash a rom in rom manager, i always put the files on my sd and just go to recovery and flash. I figured i'd try rom manger out for once.
[Captivate Accessories] zaures:
I don't know about everyone else but I am satisfied with the body glove case and pretty much accepted that is probably about the best we will get any time soon (wish otterbox would show us some love) but what I really want is a leather holster/pouch type thing. I know Samsung has the sweet black horizontal holster with the Galaxy S logo on it but it is $40 and who knows when Samsung is going to pull their thumb out and start selling some accessories for their phones. I saw PDair's website and their leather cases look pretty nice and they are priced at $28. Just thought I'd share if anyone was in the same boat as me.

I'm new so I can't post links for whatever reason, but the website www pdair com (yes I know I left out the periods).

[Droid 2 General] trillside:
I don't know long this will last (hopefully forever) but a quick test by me shows that all my zune pass music actually works on the droid 2. Its a little buggy like it refuses to play the last 4 seconds of some songs but I believe that's on the licensing side of it.

So if your one of the few who actually have this service I hope it works as well as it does for me for you.
[Droid 2 General] mejdam:
i wonder if thats exclusive to Droid 2 or if it will work on the Droid X too. Too bad i dont have a Zune pass account anymore.
[Droid 2 General] aliilyas:
How did you trasnfer your Zune Pass songs to the Droid 2
[Droid 2 General] trillside:
plug into your computer

notification screen---> click usb connection-----> choose windows media sync-----> goto windows media player on your computer (all my zune pass music is there also i don't know if its the same for you)------> then sync away :-)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
yes, rom flashing has zero effect on network lock.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Just out of curiosity (as I have no need to sim unlock my phone)

If you have a phone sim unlocked, will it remain sim unlocked if you later flash it (HSPL or ROM)?

How would you re-lock it if it has to be returned for warranty purposes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
no it won't re lock, there is no way to re lock an unlocked phone (that i know of)

as for warranty, it doesn't matter, unlocking your network is not against terms and conditions.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
When I had to return a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (HTC Diamond) because the USB connection was faulty. I was told that if it was flashed with a non-T-Mobile ROM or was SIM unlocked, then that would void the warranty.

T-Mobile voided it because it had an HTC Diamond stock ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
so, nothing to do with it being sim unlocked then,.,... :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2jamit:
Hey guys. Recently I rooted my Nexus One running on FRF91 using the 1-click root application. After that I managed to install CM6 RC2 using Rom Manager using the backup rom & wipe option. Now as far as I know 720p recording is built-in in CM 6 RC2 but when I go to Camera recording it did not give me a 720p option. I could see that the last option was Custom.

After this RC3 was launched and so I moved on to RC3 using Rom Manager again using backup rom & wipe option. After doing this I went straight to the camera video option and again I can see options High, Low, MMS, Youtube and custom. I still cannot see 720p. Can anyone guide me towards this option?

Also off-topic can someone guide me to a Desire-like theme which I can use on CM6 RC3? Also I came across Nextheme. Is this compatible with CM 6 RC3?

Thanks in advance folks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack Everyman:
Go into the camcorder tap the top icon for the settings. Scroll down to set the Video Encoder to MPEG4, then under settings icon scroll to the video quality and set it to 720p. You can also change the duration of the video here. I don't remember the default but I think it was pretty short.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2jamit:
Hey there. Thanks for responding so fast. When I go into the camera and select video recording, the top-most option is color effect. I cannot see settings. By camcorder you do mean Camera with knob towards video, is that right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
dude click the symbol that looks like a gear. then scroll until you find a 720p option.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2jamit:
@Jack Everyman & @ hiddengopher. Thank you guys I could finally see the required options:D Video quality was already selected as 720p and video encoder was already at mpeg4 & video duration is at 30 mins. So I guess the video quality option which is at the bottom of the 4 options should be set to High (30m). Is that right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
High has been changed to 720p, yes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2001uk:
Videos aren't playing for me on RC3, not even through RockPlayer. Hmmm :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2jamit:
I guess you mean the High (30m) option is for 720p recording. Anyway I am glad that this has been sorted out. Now can anyone guide me to a CM 6 RC3 compatible desire-like theme? Also I want to ensure that the trackball alert software works with such a theme. Thank you guys once again.

[Droid Incredible General] zebdor44:
I couldn't find the answer in any other thread but my ROM Manager shows that 2.5.0.1 is the latest CW Mod recovery available. I know 2.5.0.5 is out but I am wondering why ROM Manager won't see it. Does anyone else have this issue?
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Because there is no fake flash version of 2.5.0.5.
[Droid Incredible General] WhosToBlame:
Sorry but I didn't understand this reply. Just trying to understand.:cool:
[Droid Incredible General] zebdor44:
From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, koush would take the flash recovery image and create a 'fake flash' update.zip and flash the recovery that way. An update.zip for 2.5.0.5 has not been made yet. Since we have S-OFF now we can reflash recovery without having to do the fake flash method. I believe koush just has to update his ROM Manager to do so.
[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
I know it says .1 but if you ran the .5 try looking at what it says when you do a nandroid backup. It should say .5. Mine does.
[Droid Incredible General] WhosToBlame:
Ok I understand a little better now. Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] MachString:
one side note if you boot into recovery from ROM manager it will show .1, but if you Boot into recovery using the power and vol down button it shows up as the new .5
[Droid Incredible General] zebdor44:
Interesting. Well I haven't ran .5 yet I was just wondering why it wasn't showing up in ROM Manager. Thanks for the answers guys!
[Droid Incredible General] zebdor44:
Another question, not entirely related to ROM Manager, I have is that I've noticed when I do a nandroid backup within CWMod the date and time are wrong. When I do a backup via ROM Manager, it shows the correct date and time. Is there a way to set CWMod's clock?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
I recently installed JAC's kernel, and today I was getting force closes on nearly all of my apps. Even market would FC. So I did a nandroid (the nandroid was with the stock kernel), and now the phone won't boot past the Vibrant Samsung screen. Recovery menu works however. I'm guessing the issue is that I shouldn't have flashed a nandroid that was non-JAC kernel.

I have absolutely no idea what to do in this situation. Can anyone help? I really appreciate it, thanks.

UPDATE:

I flashed the Official T-Mo ODIN images, and got the phone working again. I'm not sure if there was some other way without wiping the phone, but this way worked.

Hi, i was wondering what your favorite 2.2 (froyo) roms where, and why.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacShannon:
Well by a simple glance at the thread list you can see all the Froyo roms available, but besides that I don't think this belongs in the development section.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatwadnga:
I have tried them both and have to say that I like Cyanogen better. The Kayos made my launcher freeze up a lot, especially when it changed from portrait to landscape. I also noticed that when I backed out of an app sometimes it would have to reload it too. (the launcher) I also feel like Cyanogen is faster.Other than that they are both great roms.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr0ided:
i believe there is a total of 4 froyo roms for the eris. CELB Froyo by Conap, Nonsensikal by listyb01, cyanogen tazz by tazzpatriot, and kaos froyo by kaos. i think all the froyo roms are great. i have been flashing between cyanogentazz and celbfroyo from the start and i usually end up sticking with celb. everyday it seems that all the froyo roms have an update available and all of them seem very stable to me. i would give the links to these roms but i cant post links in the forums yet. so you have to search but its worth checking out the other two roms that you did not mention.

What would be the easiest way to download and change the font systemwide?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
Here is a way to do it in the terminal.

First backup the fonts that you have on your phone. This will dump them in your SDK tools directory.

adb pull /system/fonts

Put those fonts in a different directory to keep them safe. Decide what font you would like to replace and what fonts they will replace on the phone. Rename those fonts with the same file name as the ones that you pulled from the phone. So, if you wanted to replace Droidsans with Helvetica, you would rename helvetica.ttf to Droidsans.ttf. Once you have renamed them, put them in your tools directory.

Then push them back to the phone:

adb remount

adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts

Reboot the phone. Now the new fonts should be working.

Also, if you put all of your websafe fonts on your phone (verdana, georgia, etc), your browser should actually start using them on the websites that you view. I am not completely sure about the stock browser, but I know that it worked in Opera.

Hi All,

Just curious how I would go about flashing a replacement bootloader to a Samsung Galaxy S?

I am trying to do this because my phone doesn't allow the 3 button boot mode into recovery or download mode.

I know you can activate it by running

adb reboot recovery

or

abd reboot download

However if I end up with a bad flash I will never be able to do that 3 button recovery so in essense I will brick my phone.

From the BML map

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S#Modifications

My guess is the bootloader I am looking for is at BML5

I have sucessfully backed up my BML5 from my 'neutered' phone and tonight will be backing up a BML5 from a phone which has 3 button mode active.

I backed them up using this command

dd if=/dev/block/bml5 of=/sdcard/bml5.bak

I will compare the two after this but am pretty confident they will be different. If they are different how can I go about copying a 3 button recovery mode bootloader to my device?

This post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7610625&postcount=29

suggests there is a way to write to the bml however it is strongly discouraged.

Is there another way I can copy a non 'neutered' bootloader?

keep up the good work,

it'll be cool if you or anyone with that knowledge can get it working.

then we wont have to go back to the stores to exchange the Neutered phones

Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wang1chung:
it may be unwise to flash only the bml5. if the bml4 is different between the two phones, and references something in the bml5 that is also different, it may cause a brick state.

i would suggest backing up bml1-12 and comparing them. at the least bml4 and bml5 as they both deal with the secondary program loader, which should enable the 3button boot to recover if there is an error.

good work none the less
