[HD2 General] THUDUK:
I have gone and done it, just bought a HD2 and it arrives tomorrow...

Selling my Samsung Galaxy S and returning to my old faithful Windows mobile, responses I have had from some, state I must be mad its old dying platform.

But I for one still prefer my old Touch HD over the bloomin horrid Iphone and now Android, which I simply don't like, reminds me of Mobile shell and I never really liked the messy widget type layout with that either, don't get me wrong here the galaxy s is a superb phone, in fact is quite ballistic and that screen is amazing....BUT I miss my old Memory map navigation sync with my desktop, my collins bird guide and pocketbirds.

I very much miss the ease of sync with my outlook and the simplistic way everything is compatible with my office docs, I have become so used to windows mobile for so many years I don't think I am compatible with anything else just yet, but at least I gave them a go...

Hopefully the HD2 will be as good as my old HD was and more...
[HD2 General] bronx:
looks like You know what You are talking about, so all I can say is that You'll be more than happy. I know it because I am...

hd2 is the best winmo phone ever. period. snapdragon is the answer to most of problems from the past, plus sense interface makes it pleasant and useable.

my advice - stick to most recent stock rom, just tweak it as You used to with previous wm devices. I did that... rock solid, fast, no crashes nor freezes.

I am keeping my hd2 even if I'll buy something new in the future. for now there is no better choice for winmo users... and unfortunately there will never be.

a real leo...
[HD2 General] freshli:
sounds like a declaration of love to your leo :)

but you are absolutely right. its the fackin best winmo device.
[HD2 General] polo735:
Glad to see someone still spreading the love for windows mobile. I have defended WM on my Leo to many Iphone and Android fanboys who are too dumb to use WM properly.

I'll admit I have been playing with Android lately but I will never remove it if the option to flash android becomes available. I wind up back in WM much of the time.
[HD2 General] donwhann:
agreed, tis a fantastic piece of kit. i've always sold on my earlier phones but as the above poster stated, this one is staying. you will love it mate !!!
[HD2 General] bronx:
naaah... I wouldn't call it love. ;) see... it is just a tool. I understand however it's capabilities and raw power.

back in the past, I was torn between hd2 and nokia n900. well... I went for HUGE capacitive screen and snapdragon. after placing an order some doubts appeared, but... when I've unpacked the box and held it for a very first time I knew instantly I made the right choice.

now after about eight months, numerous tweaks and apps installed, despite few scratches on the housing it is still my gadget of choice. tried android (same thoughts as op, too much spb ms to me...) and iphone. well... I am waiting for android 3 and wp7, but I just may keep leo for quite a long time... we shall see...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace3:
Hi all,

Is it possible to make the LED flash indefinitly when receiving a notification that makes the LED flash?

I'm running NextSense, but I'd like to know if it'd be possible on stock as well.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Yes, I want this too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace3:
By the way, Handcent SMS can do this; however it doesn't interact quite well with the stock sms app, and I don't want to use Hadcent UI as it's ugly as f*** :D

However, you may like it. It can also set different LED colors and LED flash interval etc. Pretty neat, and IMO showing it should be possible to implement similar functionality into the stock messaging app...

I guess everyone is celebrating .. yes its true.. sound is finally there. Its not 100% complete since we are still working to make some changes, but its there.

Please do your very best to thank and contribute to the devs. Jonpry and Wozzer have put a lot of time recently into the builds and thanks Pohket careful eyes, they were able to put something together that fixed this issue we have been dealing with for months now.

Course none of this would have been possible without the guidance of the guys who have worked on the kernel since day one. So like always a special thanks to PHH and the other device devs who constantly help contribute.

* We are fixing the buzzing issue.. :-)

ty so much guys, I was thinking about buying the USCC Desire today, but it was going to be hella-expensive. Sound was the one thing holding me back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uberberben:
Hi,

today i wanted to connect my Galaxy S to Kies to check for updates etc. After connecting usb cable i chose on Samsung Kies on phone and "MTP Application" appeared. But phone couldn't connect to Kies. MTP Application was closing every few seconds and launching again. I reinstalled Kies but that not helped. Mass storage and Modem connection works fine. Do i have to reflash? I'm on JM5.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kil:
Do you have "Soundhound" installed?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uberberben:
No, i've never installed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fane1:
Hello.I had that problem too with that firmware.The only solution i had was to format the internal sdcard and then mount it.So if u dont want to reflash just save your data and format it.And dont use launcher pro or adw launcher.They still mess up with mtp aplication as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uberberben:
Thx for suggestion. I'll try it in a minute.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] doartest:
Long file extensions

The problem is not only Soundhound, it's file extensions that are over 16 characters long.

You should browse your card manually and search and delete all files with long extensions.

You can find more info by searching "gizmondo galaxy s mysterieux bug trouve" on google.

Radu
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uberberben:
Wow, i think it really worked. I deleted 2 folders which contained many files with long extensions (.aptoid for example) and it's working now. Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leegoon84:
Hi, I noticed that while I'm on my headphone (regular earphone without mic) listening to music,

the microphone is disabled, (the built in microphone on the bottom of the phone)

for example on iphone if regular earphone is plugged in, when calling someone or on incoming calls, the person can talk via builtin mic.

is there a way to activate the mic?

edit,

looks like known issue among all androids

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirder:
Hey all,

For about 4 years I've been looking for a agenda wich can add photo's in it's events. I figured this would come eventually, yet its looking like I'm the only one who wants this feature.

Basicly: I'm lazy.. If i see a poster of a party or invitation of something (death's birthday's, etc.), i take a picture for later reference. When I feel like, I look back at them and add the info manually to agenda. It is however easier if my agenda would alow me to add photo's. I dont need more info then what's on a poster or on an invitation.

Does anyone have a tip if this is possible, or should i start learning to program in android and write my own agenda app?

If someone else is missing this feature too, I'd love to know!! I feel lonely atm. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirder:
I guess I'll have to start learning java / android programming.. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
My phone has been working perfectly with JM5 & samset v1.9f with CFlag fix v1.80.

Then the other day I noticed the screen was shaking slightly when I held my finger on the screen, as if it couldn't locate where my finger was correctly. Also it shakes alot more severely while it's charging.

Has anyone heard of this problem before? Could it be a software fault that reflashing firmware will fix, or is it a hardware fault.

Please help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
it's called haptic feedback

it's on by default, you can turn it off from Settings

is that what you mean? or it's something else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miki4242:
Maybe it's the touch point itself which doesn't register correctly.

Are you using an aftermarket (non-Samsung) charger? I remember reading about someone else having trouble with the touchscreen going bonkers while he was charging the phone on a non-standard charger, which for a capacitive touchscreen might indicate some kind of electrical grounding issue, (edit: or maybe not (link)).

edit: Maybe you can try discharging the screen by wiping it with a soft cloth used for cleaning vinyl records.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
I have only ever used the charger that came with the phone, and the usb that came with it to attach it to my laptop.

The problem still exists while it's not charging, it's just alot less severe.

I'm going to have to flash it to stock firmware and hope that fixes it. If not I'll have to send it out to be repaired.

I hate phones sometimes......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
I should also add my screen is perfectly responsive, there are no dead zones.

It's as if the touch screen can't tell which part of my finger is touching the screen. For example; If I put my finger flat on the screen rather than the tip of my finger, it shakes alot more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
Thanks for your help, I read the link you posted, very helpful. Maybe the charger was faulty and that damaged my phone overnight?

I tried the charger at someone elses house and the increased screen shaking still occurred. But if I connect it to my laptop by usb, it reacts the same as when it's unplugged.

I will try wiping the screen with a vinyl cloth when I get home. It has got a screen protector on, but I can't imagine that affecting it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
definitely not the screen protector

i have one installed, and i don't experience those screen shakes you described.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
I found this interesting thread about someone having very simular issues: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...tions/31237-please-help-droid-has-shakes.html

It hasn't helped in solving the problem, but at least I know I'm not alone with this issue.

Edit

After reading the post more carefully, it seems that this persons issue somehow fixed itself.

Perhaps the best thing to do is check if this issue is covered by warranty (so I can send it to be fixed at a later date if problem is still there) & see if mine fixes itself too...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qazz~:
i used to experience this on my HD2 and Milestone, i must say that the galaxy S'es touch sensor is one of the best and have very seldom experienced this problem.

Link to video example>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2jdw8F3hrs&feature=related
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
Yes my problem is simular to that, but it's only that bad when it's charging from the mains.

I'm going to flash to stock firmware tonight. If that doesn't sort it I'll take it to a t-mobile shop & see what they suggest.

Apparently I've got 2 years warranty so if it gets worse rather than 'fixing itself' I can always send it to be repaired. I just don't want them to give me a refurbished one, knowing my luck it will be full of dead pixels...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
Sounds like something interfering with the contact between your finger and the screen, or faulty hardware. ( Screen protector, wet fingers. )

If you are reproducing increased troubles with charger than it may very well be faulty hardware.

I can also attest to the high quality of the Galaxy S's touch screen, it can track 5 points very accurately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
It's not the screen protector as it was working fine with it before Tuesday, when the problem started.

I'm going to flash the firmware tomorrow when I have time, if that doesn't fix it then it must be hardware. I'll report back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatherboard:
Intersting...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
Ok, I flashed JF3 and the problem was still present.

I went to a local T-Mobile shop & showed them the problem. They basically said the phone still functions correctly, and recommended to stick with it and possibly get it repaired if it gets worse at a later date, which I fully agree with as I could get a refurbished phone in a worse state.

I reinstalled JM5, samset v1.9f, and used the update.zip ext4 instead of Cflag fix. I notice for some reason the problem seems less severe, but that might just be imagining it.

Thanks to everyone who helped.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeko:
I'd take it to an official samsung service point. There's no way a phone salesman would have a friggin clue about whether or not that's safe. It might make your battery explode and blow your nuts off if theres some shortcircuit in the phone or something...

open up

i had the same problem with another phone. i tried everything. after that i just turned phone off, get all screws out of the back side. i pressed all connectors and after that put the plastic on it, turn the screws back in and restarted my phone. now i never got the problem anymore ;)

NOTE: if youre not sure about what youre doing, ask somebody who know he can!

I ran the super rooter extreme and it removed all the bloatware. Only problem is I actually liked the memo app. I've searched around but can't seem to find it... Does anyone know where I can download it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansmrtn:
I suggest banana notes. Please dont support bloatware
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexUs:
I don't see that in the Market,

But OP there's plenty of notes apps you can download.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoymutt:
Most likely referring to 3banana Notes: http://www.androidcentral.com/android-quick-app-3-banana-notes (App review and Market QR code at the bottom) or from AppBrain http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.threebanana.notes
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Odin

That's what I did. I also liked the memo app, and after my experience with the all-in-one updater I got constant force closes. So I reflashed back to stock, and used Titanium back up (after rooted) to remove the bloatware I did not want.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
yeah. Some of the ROMs and stuff they are coming up wiht look pretty good, except they are all removing all 'bloatware'. There are a couple of the apps I want to keep: Allshare (would actually like something better, but not finding an alternative); and the AT&T Hotspots app (Maybe there is a replacement?).

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
i have found some files that i believe hold the key to getting mediascape and timescape fully customised visually, the only issue is that i have no idea how to edit them, even the all mighty google search has no idea about either format!

Anyone have any ideas on how i would access them?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
118 views and not one person even has a clue, google has no clue, its not looking good.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kiltaiga:
hi,

it's seem to be propriatary files..

i've not hexadeciaml editor on this computer, but when you open file with a text editor, you can see "SCEN" header on some files...

perhaps it can help you...

in TimescapeThemeGreen.apk for example, there are some png files... if you want to custom them..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
yeah, i can get to them, its the mediascape background (initial page) and i know that timescape i cant mod anymore than it is. So its the ms_background.acet im looking at getting into to see were it links to as somewhere hidden in the file system is that background.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gavriel18:
Hey buddy so I was checking out my logcat when opening mediascape and noticed an ace framework was created on launch. After a quick gander on Google I think it may be what we are looking for. I'm gonna do more research when I get home. Hope this helps. :D

Edit: ace stands for adaptive communication environment. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gavriel18:
I've looked into it a little more. Good news ace is open source and is built with c++ from what i understand. Anybody have any experience with this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
Cool, thought it would be this, i have literally checked every single other file in every folder, adb pulled the whole of my phone to my laptop and have been checking every file one by one and so these are the only files left imo that i could be.

So if its C++ i have never looked into anything to do with C++ so it will be a learning curve. Its all Fun though.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Just looped through the bytes of the mediascape acet file transforming sets of three bytes to rgb values and setting the pixels of a 480 X 854 bitmap and look what came out :D

Have to look a bit closer so I can get rid of the tiling - I'll get onto that tonight...

UPDATE: My boss went out so I had another look ;)

The first 2421 bytes are some sort of header and the image is only 240 x 427 (typical SE :rolleyes:). Looks a bit better now...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] killerskincanoe:
excellent progress can't wait to see the custom mediascape BG's keep it up guys
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
OK, here's an updated acet file. I just zeroed out the blue part of the pixels - doesn't look too bad though, eh!

I don't have time to try this out at the moment, but if someone's game they can try replacing the original with the attached file. I don't think the file could be tamper-proofed or signed, there is only 21 bytes in there that aren't colour information, and I just copied them one to one.

If this works I'll throw together a tool to quickly convert a bitmap to an acet file.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
Spot on, knew i would find the file it was in lol, and we also got the people with the skill to get into it.

When you get chance if you can PM me a quick guide if its quick that is and i will get the files updated or i will wait for you to make the tool and do it that way.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Chewitt,

try this out. Just enter the path to the image file and the destination file. You'll need .Net Framework 2.0 to run it.

Update: This tool has been updated to write the header correctly and is available with a short description on post #23 in this thread.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gavriel18:
@Calum thanks chief. :-) I'm going to try it as soon as i get home
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pietropizzi:
Great, tried it out. Just de-saturated the original png.

fits to the black themes floating around.

now to find out other acet file backgrounds.

THX ! :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Sweet. Good to know that the files can be replaced without any problems. I'll rig up a viewer for the other files and post it in the next hour or so...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pietropizzi:
That would've been my next request :) - a tool for the other way round acet-->bmp

so we can adb pull them locally, batch convert , modify and push them back.

But viewer would be great ! :) THX
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
OK - here you go. A viewer with an export button ;)

EDIT: OK, I've got the header sussed now - the resolution is in there - I'll fix up the viewer to work in both directions and post it later...

FIXED: See post #23
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JamesBarnes:
Good work, the only reason i havnt switched themes yet is because of the inconsistencies between system and time/mediascape :)

Can you past in the first 21 bytes for me? I'll try and make some sense of the header.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] _calum_:
Here's the header. I'm pretty sure its blocks of 4 (16bit integers) with a trailing 1 for some reason. The second and third blocks are the width and height respectively.

0, 0, 1, 0,

240, 0, 0, 0, (0x000000F0 = 240)

171, 1, 0, 0, (0x000001AB = 427)

1, 0, 0, 0,

0, 0, 0, 0,

1
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
Spot on, just getting .net 2.0 now as im a few past that i think, once this is sorted i will update the whole Dark10 series.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Chewitt:
did you take the link down?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JamesBarnes:
Ahh well guess you dont need me to take a look at the header after all ;)
