do as I did...go back to tmobile and tell them you wanted to play the movie for the first time and it doesnt play... (obviously don't say u deleted it) just tell them it came lie that, you haven't done anything to it

they will replace the sd for one that has the movie
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
Maybe just rip the dvd, and then copy the avi file on your device... launch if from the default video player? There are directions on here for ripping via handbrake... hth.
[Vibrant General] ju12zo:
I am on Tmo now and WANT the Vibrant. My Nexus One is my daily driver but always want the new hotness. But I feel I may be screwing myself out of phones just a few months away. Dual core phones with the bleeding edge are more my thing and stock Android is also what I prefer.

Maybe you can sway me??

:confused:
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Then when dual core comes and you almost buy it, there will be something better... its a non stop cycle, hell you may even be dead by then, buy it now and enjoy it .

I love my vibrant over my nexus one day, especially games
[Vibrant General] ju12zo:
I'm not so much a gamer. Maybe I could be. Just all the talk about these near releases is keeping me from hitting purchase... Nexus was a no brainer at the time, it was the best (only 8 months ago) but they all are so close now.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
with how android phones have progressed in the last 6 months, there will always be the greatest new supposed phone just around the corner. If one is available that you are happy with and is up to date with hardware, get it. Right now, besides the gps issue of course, the Vibrant is at the top of the list. hopefully Froyo and gps fix will keep it on top for a little while (sept hopefully)
[Vibrant General] evoalex:
the vibrant is awesome now, and once we get 2.2 froyo its going to be even better. get the vibrant, you wont regret it. and hell if in 6 months a better phone comes out and you like it. get that too.

[Vibrant General] elreason4:
My concern is T-Mobile 3G speeds.....In Chicago we are seeing just 1 mb/sec down, and that doesn't compare to the captivate getting over 3 mb/sec.....Is T-Mobile going crank up the speed on non hspa+ 3G phones? Will T-Mobile be competative with the Galaxy S phones?
[Vibrant General] Main Target:
I am just curious what you are doing on your phone that makes you so concerned about speed...other than just liking everything maxed out.

Download apps. View Web Pages. Tether. Mindyabusiness.

Sorry, I bet you use 56k and have a flip phone. Don't try to act cool and enlightened, like you know something about not wanting the best while falling into the same trap.

I don't know about Chicago, but in the suburban Philly / NJ area I get 3-4 mbs routinely.

[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
With that mentality you will never upgrade :D - get the Vibrant for a penny, in two years there def be better phones, but right now and probably for the rest of the year Galaxy S line will remain the top contender on the market.
[Captivate General] hollywould:
Please help, I was trying out a program called Toggle Data Widget, and I noticed that it wasn't working, so I uninstalled it. Now when I turned my phone on the data connection is gone. I tried reinstalling the app, and nothing happens. I don't know what to do, and I don't want to restore, because I haven't had a chance to back it up yet. Please help. Thanks a lot.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
What do you mean the data connection is gone? Which icon would that be?
[Captivate General] hollywould:
I mean the little 3G symbol is gone, nothing is there anymore, and when I try connecting, I get an error saying, "a network error has occurred."
[Captivate General] Neurp:
Try reinstalling it, set the widget to where it is turned on, then just reboot the phone. I had it mess up a few times when I was trying that one out. I downloaded one called GT-Widget Data that works quite a bit better.
[Captivate General] hollywould:
Thanks a lot, it seems to be working now. I wonder if I should try uninstalling it again.
[Captivate General] aloant:
You should be able to uninstall it safely now.

Most of the utilities to turn off 3G data mangle the access point settings that is stored in a database. When you uninstall the utilties with data disabled, they remain mangled.

Another way to fix it quickly btw is to just use Reset Default in the Captivate's Settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phreakness:
I woke up this morning to find allshare has decided it wants to be used. There is a permanent ongoing notification from allshare asking to click it to launch.

I tried pressing the notification but that didn't make it go away and I have tried rebooting the phone several times but the notification is still there. The allshare process is running in the background chewing up the cpu as well, I can close the process but that still doesn't remove the notification.

Any suggestions on how either stop allshare from running and thus remove the notification or just a way to remove allshare completely since I don't need it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wrought2012:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leafdog:
Can anyone help me with finding the boot animation (see image) Its just the plain ANDROID word in a blueish colour that becomes slightly reflective. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artukas613:
I saw it on OpenDesire ROM. You can ask AdamG or extract from his ROM.

:-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 267841:
is the default animation of android. delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip and /system/media/bootanimation.zip and you have. is contained in /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leafdog:
Thank you

Do you know how to extract the animation from the .apk file?

Many Thanks for your responses
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhoeglund:
all you have to do is delete all other bootanimations... that one is the default so it cannot be deleted... once you delete the others it will go back to the default one by itsself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leafdog:
Thanks

I understand, but I am unable to delete the files from /data/local/bootanimation.zip and /system/media/bootanimation.zip There are not write permissions. What is the easiest way to delete these files.

Many Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliver2425:
I could delete bootanimation.zip in /system/media with root explorer and mounting in write mode. BUT the bootanimation.zip just comes back after reboot. So no stock android bootanimation to see. Running on DeFroST5.8 wich is using the NexusOne animation. How can I extract the bootanimation from OpenDesire which is the stock android one? Any hints??

Thanks

EDIT: ok, could delete/rename using adb shell when in recovery AND also delete/rename the exiting bootanimation.zip on /sdcard. Details how to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696235&highlight=boot+animation&page=9 POST #89

NOW I have the stock android bootanimation.

Still, I would like to have it as a zip file I could apply after flashing a new ROM. Ok, I know, I'm lazy :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Use adb or s-off to delete files in /system/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
You do understand, that you need root to do this right?

And the reason is, that the system partition is nand locked, so untill you make your phone s-off, you cannot edit it wile system is booted. So alternately you can boot into your custom recovery like clockwork mod and use adb commands to remover it.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
an insider told me:

"the software I am running is beta. there was already an update since I ran the quadrant benchmark. There will be another one before/at launch."
[Epic 4G General] chococrazy:
Probably gonna be touchwiz being updated
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
I sure hope so. I really like the music player in touchwiz
[Epic 4G General] ConceptVBS:
Doubt it. They might have to change the user manual if they do upgrade to the TW 3.0 and that takes time to publish.

However, Samsung/Sprint's user manual are not thorough. So they could purposely leave out these additional "features" and put them on an updated PDF file user manual on their website.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I was under the impression it already had TW 3.0....
[Epic 4G General] yglup:
Is it possibble you can pm me or post a link to your benchmark results. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] sling:
Samsung went build backwards on us ,They call it 2.5.

It lacks music player , FM Radio and some other goodies.
[Epic 4G General] coolkams03:
nope. it is 2.5. the app dock at the bottom cannot be changed. home screen cannot be moved or removed. music is similar to the stock android player which is very basic. no equalizer in the music player. it is definitely not 3.0. not sure y they did not add all those features. i dont understand why it costs $250 as the only extra thing is the keyboard, led flash and vga cam. rest all features are either similar or lesser than what is provided in captivate and vibrant which are available on amazon now for $49 and $0.01 respectively. $250 is simply ridiculous.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
Also your forgetting the multicolor notification light, and once again AMAZON is selling those other phones for $49.99 and $.01. What do you think amazon will sell the EPIC 4G for? I guarantee you it won't be $250 unless the phone is consistently sold out. Wait til a month after the epic 4g has been out like how the vibrant and captivate have been and then see what it is going for on amazon. If I go to the carrier websites they still want $200 for the phones. You are being completely unfair in your comparisons.
[Epic 4G General] sling:
You lost me there.

I basically stated that 2.5 was a step backwards lacking goodies found in 3.0.
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
The spec doc that was published yesterday has TW 2.5 listed in it.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...nd-devices/android_phones/epic?view=documents

I'm with you: I wouldn't expect TW 3.0 by launch. It is strange that they'd go with 2.5 though...
[Epic 4G General] B-Real206:
Aww man no fm radio! wtf my touch pro 2 didn't have on either, that sucks
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
Supposedly it'll have the hardware for FM radio, but it doesn't sound like it'll be usable without a custom ROM or hacking

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-general-discussion/outstanding-spec-questions/

Someone else linked that originally...don't remember where or who, but thanks. :)
[Epic 4G General] B-Real206:
Thanks, any idea why they disable it.
[Epic 4G General] ConceptVBS:
Its the carriers who decides what to put on their phones. Samsung builds it to their request.
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
I would think it's a matter of both Sprint and Samsung deciding the specs. The reasons for axing it could come down to cost of development, bugs, etc., too.

IIRC, there was a case of a phone sharing some of the same hardware as the N1; the N1 had FM radio and the other did not. Modders found that they had the chipset for radio and were able to add it. Similar events have happened with phones that are wireless N capable but were not released with software that enabled it.

Either way, I'm pretty confident modders will get FM radio working on the Epic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] schwags:
OK, I've been searching everywhere, and coming up empty. I'm looking for the original HTC OEM boot screen that just says "HTC Touch Pro 2" or maybe "Touch Pro 2". All black background, white text. I flashed a ROM a while back and I have had its boot screen since. I don't want to have to flash an entire OEM ROM just to get it, but I will if necessary. Hoping that someone has it lying around.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RoboWang:
I have a question I am finding hard to get an answer to.

There are essentially 4 boot screens on a TP 2.

The first and second (I don't think can be separated on a TP 2) Is the above splash screen with the red text, radio, etc that comes on after about 10 seconds.

Third is the Animated screen.

I can change those screens.

The 4th is ANOTHER screen that shows the ROM (at least, on my NRG MaxSense ROM).

The 4th is the one I can't find how to change.

Anyone have a link?

In the meantime, I am still searching, and if I find out, I will come back with a link.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] schwags:
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] schwags:
I'm pretty sure that the screen you mention is part of the actual ROM flash. I think it's a file though that you can modify once the ROM is installed. Welcomehead possibly..?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RoboWang:
On my Tilt 2, the last screen is simply a png called well.png.

I created an image and installed it, now all my start up and shutdown screens are custom.

Nice!
[Captivate General] Coriolis3ffect:
I tried searching in the Captivate forums and I couldn't find anything about it. I already installed the Unleash The Beast ROM, and then a little bit afterwards, I put in the ROM with the circle battery in it, and everything from the Unleash the Beast ROM seemed to still be there afterwards.

My question now is this: would putting in another ROM undo anything else that was put into the phone?
[Captivate General] nathon.fuller:
everything you have done is not a ROM, they are a mods.

A ROM will completely reinstall the operating system of your phone.
[Captivate General] Kagoshema:
the update.zip's you have been using arent roms, they just patch or add files into the system, so as long as your not using 2 mods/updates that change the same files then they will not replace eachother
[Captivate General] Banditlol:
Curious as well.

If my phone is rooted, and I want to change the rom, could I do it without restoring everything to the way i bought it? And do you recommend just going back to everything he way it was when I bought it and just doing one of these mods and patches on the forums?

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone could provide me with or point me to the bell android 2.1 CSC: i9000bmc and MODEM file.

http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm does not include them.

I tried out 2.2 and want to switch back. Unfortunately I did not make a backup :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rumy:
I am not seeing it,

When I unzip it it has only one file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
Do not unzip it, just load it in the PDA section of Odin, load the 512 PIT file, and flash..it's all in one file but has the modem and CSC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] daveloft:
would it work if I used the European 2.2 pda file and used the north american modem file on my bell galaxy s.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
I've had that combo work for me exactly once, with UGJH2 baseband.

But usually it just comes back with Baseband: Unknown

On the flip side, I can confirm that JP3 works with 850 (if your phone has 850 to start with!) and 1900, so you can just flash that modem.

Rolling back to UGJH2 or UGJG8 via Odin works fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AJerman:
If you need the individual files, unzip the archive which should give you a tar file, then untar that file and you'll get the individual parts.

[General Questions and Answers] bruuutal:
This question has probably been asked a million times but i couldn't find an answer.

On my HTC Hero (android 2.1), there was an option to tether once you plugged the phone into your computer. This could also be used as a wireless receiver for a desktop computer lacking a wireless access card. I was using this as a last resort after losing dozens of Ethernet cables to vermin under the house. Basically the idea was: connect to your homes wireless router on the phone, then plug the phone into the usb slot of your computer and it would share that wifi connection with your computer. Recently I have switched over to the all powerful HTC HD2 and I am realizing there is no way to do this, that I can tell, with the stock phone. Is there something I'm missing?

I have tried using the Internet Sharing option, as well as the CMInternetSharing.cab I downloaded from you guys, and neither seem to bring this ability to the table. Is there an app out there that can solve this problem?
[General Questions and Answers] chibixzero:
Ussually a Custom rom will fix this most have the Internet share or WiFi router but you need to HARDSPL your phone. also theres a way for you to do it just deleting your or editing your REGISTRY.

I am using Androkidd on my device which is an Android type screen on which I created an icon directly to system settings and another icon which went directly to the "new text message" page.

I needed to move the app to the storage card and in doing so lost some quick launch icons. Therefore it was necessary to redo the icons lost, but now I cannot find the paths to the settings and new text message screens. I do not remember in which file/s they were located.

If you moved the app, you should have some configuration or settings file, which should be readable in a text editor. Having said that, if you need the links to settings, take a look at this:

Hi,

I have the problem with Newton rings on my HTC Tattoo, which is actually my fifth touchscreen phone, and this is the first time that I see such thing (phone is threated the same way my Toshiba Portege G900 is, but Toshiba didn't get any stains). The phone was carried out like it was baby (not even a scratch or a spot). It's been a hot summer here in Serbia, and after one really hot day (near 40 degrees on Celsius scale) my Tattoo got a Newton ring and became unresponsive, phone acts as it is being pressed on one point all the time. The problem was somehow fixed when I got home from the outside, temperature in my home was much lower. After a few weeks, there was another heat wave and again my cell got him self some nice rings (irony), but this time they lasted for a bit longer. I got it to my network operator from which I got phone. They said that it is physical damage to the screen and block guarantee on device. My phone works even with those rings now, but I am wondering how much time will pass until it became "pressed at one point"... I found on this forum that peoples suggest using duct tape for fixing it, is there some new method or I should get tape sticked to my phone?

To see how the Newton rings look a like you should see these links:

xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=213017&d=1249506225 <--- Touch 3G facing the same problem.

xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=139791&d=1230129170 <--- HD facing the same problem

and you should definitely seek for Newton rings on wikipedia.

I should mention that those stains are best visible under fluorescent light.

Best regards, Stefan Kostić.
