[Android General] crash_b.:
I did some searching and found a solution, check this, this, this, this and this.

Working perfect now ;)

Edit:

Tested some time now and works on both wifi and 3G.

Unfortunately it's a little buggy, sometimes you have to reboot your phone or restart the apps for pandora to run.

Edit2:

For people having trouble running Orbot and getting an error when running transparent proxyen, check this.

basically you have to install DroidWall.

Then copy the iptables from droidwall to the torproject folder overwriting the iptables from Orbot.

Copy from this:
/data/data/com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/[B]iptables_armv5[/B]

Copy "iptables_armv5" to:
/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/

Rename or delete iptables from that folder,
then rename "iptables_armv5" to iptables

Reboot your phone.

Pandora loads up slow, be patient. If Pandora gets stuck on the intro screen you can go on you Phone to:

settings/applications/running services/downloaded

Search for Pandora open it and press clear data. Restart Pandora it should work now.

In short:

Install Orbot.

Use iptables from DroidWall.

Install Pandora, choose the version you want ;)

Make sure all settings are correct.

Run Orbot.

Start Pandora.

Check screenshot for Pandora in action :cool:

Same here :( :confused:
[Android General] why_So_serious:
Doesn't work for me. Still stuck at 1% buffer (till i turn off Orbot)-.-

sorry pandora is not avaliable !!!!

version 1.5.16 blocks usage from outside the US

Previouse version 1.5.15 enables usage from outside the US (with TOR). When trying to update the the latest 1.5.16, usage is blocked.

Please advice

Thanks

Solved for me

Thank you to both, you solved my problem! Works like charm.

Version 1.5.16

Does anyone have Pandora 1.5.16 working with TOR?

Thanks
[Android General] BradleyR2010:
im using 1..5.17 with {us} as exit nodes all working fine :)
[Android General] zolom:
Thanks

Yes it works with these settings (version 1.5.16 and now 1.5.17), but very often after a (short or long) while (with or without a reboot in the middle), it suddenly pops the "not in this country" message and from then I cannot play it anymore; unless I un-install the app, and re-install it again from the market. At all time TOR is enabled (actually it is enabled at boot, with exit nodes {us}).

I have version 1.5.15 backed up by Titanium. When restoring, it is always stable even when TOR is not enabled (only working in transparent mode), without any interuptions, under 3G, wifi and even vpn to the us.

Please advice.
[Android General] shimonelbaz:
if it does not work,

try "World Wide Radio".

works like a charm and no configuration is needed, just open it, press start and enjoy the great music. :)

This works great with Pandora.

I just have one issue, I can't get it to work with other apps: Tunein Radio, Radio.com app.

I have no idea how to make these work, has anyone tried?
[Android General] theja239:
For tune in radio not need of any special app.it works

To use spotify like apps i.e us based radios you need to hide your ip address you do it by using mentioned or droid vnp i use droid vnp it works like a charm.unlike orbot it some times does'nt :)

Could anyone tell me how to eliminate the Battery symbol and time in the notification bar? I have the bar hidden right now, but I use a different app to monitor the battery, so I don't want two indicators up there, and the time is useless since I have an app on the screen showing the time.

Thanks for the help in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infotechsailor:
you will have to do this with a custom home screen (aka launcher.)

not sure which, launcher pro or ADW but one of those can modify those settings to a certain extent. I dont have exact details but someone can provide them. also that might require root... are you running root? how about any custom roms? I am pretty sure cyanogenmod comes with ADW, and that in CM adw you can modify those. good luck --josh

When trying to create a nandroid backup in clockwork today I am continuously getting the following message (after it backs up everything):

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

Can't mount /sdcard/.android_secure!

So the backup is never created. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
[Droid X General] jatilq:
I emailed koush about this and he is looking into this.
[Droid X General] tmparisi:
Great! Thanks a lot! I was able to complete backups at one point (pre-froyo) but it seems like ever since then I have been getting that error. Even if I try to mount the sd card in clockwork... same error message. The Rom manager was installed after 2.2, maybe that install had something to do with this? Those are the only changes that took place between that time.
[Droid X General] sic0048:
Koush has released an updated version that works with Froyo. It doesn't work if you try to install the pre-froyo version on a phone that has been upgraded to Froyo.
[Droid X General] SiL3nTKiLL:

[Droid X General] Steeleio:
So is the link on his website to the new release that works with 2.2?

[Droid X General] Joe92T:
wheres the link to the updated recovery?

I also noticed in rom manager it says i have recovery 2.5.0.7 but when i actually boot into recovery it says i have 2.5.0.5
[Droid X General] dekend:
i can confirm that installing the new version of droidxbootstrap.apk will fix your issues... verify you have version 1.0.0.3 not 1.0.0.1.. if you cant find the newer version donate, its worth it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Hello there,

sry if there's already a thread where we are discussing that topic but I'm really looking forward to WP7 and those nice phones!

But till now I've only seen 2 devices having a QWERTY keyboard and they are both from LG. While I don't like LG C900http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/att-lg-windows-phone-shows-carrier-tile-on-home-screen I do like the LG Panther (called GW910 for now...) http://www.stereopoly.de/lg-gw910-weitere-details-zum-neuen-panther-windows-7-phone/

And I think I could live with a Panther... still waiting for other devices with keyboard though...

What are you looking forward to? Keyboard device as well?

that are my req specs:

- 8 GB (every device has it!)

- 3,5 - 4" screen

- AMOLED

- QWERTY

- 1 Ghz

and the rest I'm fine with...but LG wasted AGAIN way too much space on the C900 - why don't put all the keys in one row?

[HD2 General] PhoneConnect247:
I just ran a task29 on my phone and before flashing my new ROM I want to change the splashscreen as its one from Chuckydroid ROM and task29 doesnt delete bootup screen or splash screens. So is there a way to mount while in USB. I know the PC is making some sort of mount since I'm able to flash a new ROM but I cant find where
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
splash screens flash in exactly the same way as roms and radios, via an nbh file and customruu, and yes you can flash all three from bootloader. no, you won't see anything mounted, you can't access the memory from bootloader.

Has anyone figured out what the instant messenger field under contacts is used for. I can edit any one of my contacts and add instant messaging such as aim or msn but when you click on them they dont trigger anything. the only thing that works is obviously gtalk. I thought maybe the new trillian would maybe trigger this but it doesnt.
[EVO 4G General] onyx00:
I haven't seen anyone else mention those, and I've tried reverting back to an older backup I had, but still seeing the same issue. Basically, I see the "sync symbol" up in the notifications bar show up and stay there forever. I check in "Accounts" under settings, and the bottom left button says "Cancel sync." Now I've tried removing all of my accounts, but still doesn't help. As far as I can tell things are still working properly and no noticeable battery drain is occurring.

Ideas? Should I just do a factory wipe on it?

I'm currently running the Netarchy Froyo (just the initial official release he posted), along with his 3.7.7 kernel. No other issues.
[EVO 4G General] Splaktar:
I had this same kind of issue. The fix that worked for me and was a lot better than factory reset was this:

Go to settings->applications->manage apps->all. Then select all of the gmail, calendar, and calendar storage apps and clear their data. I didn't have to do it for Contacts storage app, but if the others don't work, you might have to do that one too.
[EVO 4G General] dmystic1:
Yes it seems to happen for me with more than one gmail account. I have two and I just avoided it by setting one account as exchange instead. I'd even rather not even use the gmail app, but you know our device is limited to only one exchange account (sucks). I mean the whole mail experience on the Evo needs an overhaul (gmail app = android, email = sense).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoochild2008:
Anyone hear if Samsung are fixing the video playback and camera quality?

The video is great in HD but when you watch lower quality rips the film looks great in day parts but at night in movies you can see lots of blocking, yes there should be some as lower quality but not at the level it shows, I tried on my i8910 and the sgsi9000 and the same video in night time scenes looks better on the i8900, I did hear that the reason the sgs has bad blocking is the firmware is not right, the phone is not reading the difference in the shades of black or something.

And camera, I hope this again is firmware as the pics are fine until you zoom, they are washed out and blocky, I know it took awhile before someone modded the i8910 to get the best jpeg code for it so fingers crossed Samsung or someone on here does that.......just seeing if any news on these two things.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
Emmm..? Great quality in both camera and video playback here...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoochild2008:
its one of those things that when you see it you dont miss it again, I did come across a page on the net with a guy speaking about it, its a firmware thing, it will never be perfect as there will always be some blocking with lower bit rips but at this time the sgs shows it up more than it should, from what I remember the guy said it was to do with the graphic chip and it not reading the differences in blacks so rather than a blend with shadows and dark stuff (like a guy running around in a cave say) it shows blocking, anyway this guy said he did something so that it bypassed the chip and the picture was fine....but he did not say how and nor can I find the bloody page again.

Camera wise, well its an old story with Samsung, they shrink there files too much, dont know why and they did not learn from the error with the i8910, it took hyperx and faenil to sort the code out and get better quality pictures, from what I read on here its same problem.

I love the sgs and hope these things are fixed by them and I dont have to wait for some person with talent to fix it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
Ideed, there are differences in quality. Never noticed them.

Well, I suppose it should be pretty easy to fix if anyone actually got to do it (I know they even did it on symbian, which is like the most complicated os ever).

For the quality of video - never really tried low quality files, so never noticed a thing. But from description - it could be something to do not with drivers or anything, but with screen itself (all the deal about true black, which we dont see on normal lcd display). But thats just guess.

Yeah, Launcher Pro seems to be like a great alternative to TouchWiz...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiddhard:
To your earlier post, none of the launchers need your phone to be rooted or require a custom firmware (thank god for the sake of all noobs ;)).

On that rooting note, I am still trying to figure out the obvious and apparent advantages of rooting. Had an iPhone from the 2g all the way till the 3gs. It had the jailbreak and the unlock. Is rooting the same as jailbreaking in terms of functionality??

As a side note, see if you can give WidgetLocker a look. The stock Galaxy S lockscreen is boring and too plain for my liking at least. WidgetLocker allows you to put your widgets and icons right on the lockscreen.

Cheers....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spandsbab:
Thanks, great advice there! As for the rooting thing, well I heard they did some custom firmware that fixes the slight lagging thingy. I have had slight lagging when i listen to music and watch movies.. btw my firmware is JG2 (though it says in the Kies that it cannot be further upgraded, i doubt its the latest).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiddhard:
Most welcome.

As for the updates, there are different versions available for different regions. For me in India the upgrade available was JG4. Mine was JG2 out of the box. The new version (JG4) has an inbuilt task manager and a little better performance than the JG2. It fixes a few performance issues from what I have read.

Not really sure how it works, but if you could cheat your system in believing you are in a different location (say India, for eg), perhaps you can get that update too. But do check if its safe pulling off a stunt like that. Check if the phone and the carrier like this at all. ;)

Cheers....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spandsbab:
I have read it somewhere here in XDA that you can actually do cheat your location and that it is kinda okay to do that but I think you have to root/flash your phone for that... that's the reason I kinda lean towards rooting the phone cause guys here do faster and better job at fixing issues with the phone than Samsung...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithent:
It's only a little like jailbreaking an iPhone, because one of the main advantages of jailbreaking is getting access to apps that Apple wouldn't approve, and Google don't do that. Features that you had to jailbreak for, like multitasking and a deeper level of customisation, are standard in Android.

It's only really needed on Android for low-level manipulation of the system, like installing lag fixes, using backup programs like Titanium Backup, or tweaks like changing the CPU speed settings in SetCPU. I expect that most Android users would be happy never rooting, but most people here are, being either developers or interested in that low-level customisation.

Luckily, the Galaxy S is very easy to root! There's very little security against that (basically none in 2.1 builds), which is quite unlike a lot of other phones, some of which can require quite arcane methods exploiting obscure security holes.
