[General Questions and Answers] someDewd:
I've been through the same thing. I was always interested in electronics as a kid, but oddly enough, not computers. I obtained my associate's in electronics, then decided to go for my BS, but could not decide between CE or CS. In the end I went with CS, partly because I felt it would be better to not learn a lot of the same material over, but also because I felt that a CS degree would lead to more flexible options (which is counter to what you've heard). I haven't been told which is more flexible and don't have any stats to back myself up, but it just always seemed like there were a lot more high-level jobs available (and a wide variety of them, to boot). I did spend a couple lost years browsing job sites like dice and the other big jobsite.coms and noticed a huge number of Java Dev and DBA/Sys Admin-type positions. Also, it could be my imagination, but it seems like quite a few of the CE positions require more advanced degrees, while it seems to be easier to get your foot in the door with a CS BS.

Also, with CS it seems like you could also be qualified for other positions that don't necessarily involve programming, like some sort of logistics operation or something. Just my two cents. Good luck!

hi, i just ordered a extended battery for the droid 2, and i want to get the dock for it but i am unsure if it will fit with the extended battery attached to it.
[Droid 2 Accessories] ZPrimed:
it should, but you'll probably have to remove the plastic insert in the base (i.e. use it as though you had a case on it).

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthwouter:
Alright so I've been running the cyan nightlies, I just updated to the latest one, installed the battery fix. Everythings working fine, put my phone down for and hour and the batt is at like %75, I go under battery use and it puts the screen at 79%, is this normal? I had my screen off most of the time and when it was on it wasnt bright and if this isn't normal how can I fix it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Have you rebooted to see if it does this after every reboot? Try rebooting normally then see if its still doing it.

If so, then reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik, then reboot normally. Check your battery stats again after a couple hours and see if it's still doing it after the dalvik wipe.

(FYI, this belongs in Q&A section)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omair2005:
can you link to the battery fix plz?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggy682:
I have had very high display usage on every version of CM6, and you will find it is a VERY common complaint on CDMA Hero's running CM6.

Everyone says it's because Froyo is more efficient, and uses less battery overall, so your display percentage is higher.

I call B.S. on that. I have had poor battery life with the more than 20 nightly versions I have run. I have had the Hero since the day before it came out, and I have never had worse battery life. I even bought a new battery thinking my battery was dying on me, and I still won't make it through a day (7 am - 11 pm) without plugging the phone in during the day.

My guess is there is something up with the display/lights/light sensor drivers that have been implemented in CM6 that don't allow something with the display to sleep properly. Either that, or the battery usage screen is simply completely inaccurate.

I could literally reboot my phone, leave it untouched with the screen off for four hours, then turn on the screen for one minute, and the display usage would shoot up to 50-75%. There is no way one minute of screen usage is using more battery than 4 hours of phone standby using the radio, checking email/twitter/facebook/gmail.

Anyway, that's just my opinion on the matter. Other than the battery life, the newest nightlies of CM6 are simply incredible, so I just deal with the poor battery life.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
@ziggy682 -- Thanks for that info. I haven't yet tried CM6 (mainly cuz I'm so dependent on some Sense apps and widgets), and now that I'm reading about some battery issues I may hold off on trying it even longer.

Well, more of the blame lies on samsung than Mr. Frawley.

I read somewhere on these forums that Samsung implemented the bluetooth standard in a somewhat bizarre way. Kind of like how you have to swap wires around when you are connecting the video cable to your TV.

From what I see though, Samsung has acknowledged the issue and will correct it with the upcoming froyo update.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Only Loki:
I read in a press release from January of last year that the two main features of 3.0 is faster transfer and better battery life. In addition there is suppose to be some security enhancements.

It uses 802.11 to transfer the files like wifi does to transfer files to and from you phone.

The article I seen explained the bt/wifi thing better and said that bt 4.0 should be out by the end of this year.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir77a:
HI,

I'm a complete newbie with the Android (power user in WM).

Using SGS i9000 with origin German ROM I9000XXJF3.

I was trying my first ROM reflash, but something seems to be very wrong.

This is what I did:

1. I rooted the device successfully using that guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728754

2. Downloaded and install from the market busybox

3. Then I followed the guide here: http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/Flash guide english.pdf .

Important, I was trying to install the ROM: I9000JPJG8 BUT with PIT 513

4. ODIN announced (on blue background ): reset, and the device returned into recovery mode (same I used for rooting the device).

5. I was trying to repeat the process, this time with PIT 512 with the same ROM.

6. It seems to successful. I saw the glowing Galaxy S, for sometime, then the device turned itself off.

Now all I get is the connect to PC (phone, orange exclamation mark & PC logos) logo.

I was trying to pull the battery out, restarted the PC, and was trying to reconnect to ODIN, but ODIN does not recognize the device.

I was trying to select in ODIN only "auto reboot", press start, but again nothing happened.

Very frustrating for a start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Amir.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.sw:
Shalom amir,

go back to download mode and reflash with odin (512 pit). Should do the trick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavinsoo:
I've experienced the same thing before. I thought I bricked the phone but that wasn't the case.

Try to reflash your SGS on another computer. This PC that you used won't be able to find your SGS anymore until you successfully flashed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir77a:
Hi Mike,

After numerous times, I've managed to return to downloading mode :)

I've achieved that by inserting the battery, while pressing vol down+power+home.

Now was able to reflash, and everything is good.

I did that too, but the problem was how to return to downloading mode..

Almost had a heart attack...

Thanks anyway guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickCain:
I have been stuck on that screen more than I like but have found this to work the best.

1 - power down the device and remove battery / usb connection

2 - connect usb

3 - hold the volume up key while moving to step 4

4 - insert battery

I end up in the download screen everytime and then must start the Ordin3 flash quickly otherwise it just hangs on the download. I appears if I start the download within 15 seconds, works like a charm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadNosf:
You are SUCH A LIFE SAVER!!! I tried every other thing on xda and youtube but the above steps are the only one that worked on my vibrant. The trick is to start ODIN ASAP after step 4 and start the flash (after selecting PIT and PDA file) or it won't work if you take your time :)

the download on fresh updater probably isnt working because that is a 2.1 kernel and will not work on fresh now. anyways, kings kernel is probably the best one out there since fflokes kernel imo. if it was the server you can reset it to default in the app and i'm sure you would have been smart enough to do that if you were smart enough to know how to flash a kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vrubba:
i hard reset my samsung i9000 about 10 times till i figured this out, just wondering if it's the device, the android version or a general issue? Or just me? (that is the question)

After a hard reset, the only steps I take is I connect my wifi, leave the device in german since I can get by alright with the language, turn OFF auto-sync, then link up my google account.

I manually then sync Gmail, open Gmail, try to add a sender to my contacts, and i get the all too familiar vibrate tone, followed by a black screen, followed by the double vibrate and the acore stopped unexpectedly message.

I then go and sync my google contacts manually, go back to gmail, do the same thing again and it works.

I then went into contacts | Display Options and deselected all google contact groups, including my contacts. Tried to add a contact again, and it crashed again. Then I rechecked my contacts, tried to add a contact, and it worked again.

Anyone else seen this? My google contacts is an absolute mess, which is why i was trying to avoid syncing it :P

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] M&ate:
These are HD2/android issues. The regular sense devices are buttery smooth.

Our issue is that we are running from an external storage device. The stock card with the HD2 is a class 2 which allows for only 2 mbps to be transferred. This is more than enough to run the operating system, but because its having to dual boot, and run off of external storage, its not going to be nearly as buttery smooth as the proprietary versions (i.e. evo, droid, etc.).

In the future, please research before posting.

hi, im a new galaxy S owner living over in Seoul, South Korea (originally from Canada), and im having a hard time rooting my phone. im not sure if its because the Galaxy S released here in Korea is a bit different or what, but i need some help.

ive followed the tutorial non this site, downloaded update.zip and transferred it to the /sdcard folder on my phone. then the first problem i had was getting into android system recovery. all the sites/forums i read (including this one) said to hold volume UP + home button and the power on. this doesnt work on the korean galaxy S. after asking some Korean friends (who also own galS's) how to do it, i learned you need to hold volume DOWN + home, then hit power on. sigh.

anyway, my current problem is that once i get into system recovery, i only have 3 options:

-reboot system now

-wipe device (factory reset), except sdcard

-wipe cache partition

i dont see the option mentioned in the tutorial that says 'apply sdcard:update.zip'

and yes im sure ive got the update.zip file in the right folder and that its not corrupt (ive deleted it and downloaded it again a couple times to be sure).

so can anyone tell me how to get the 'apply sdcard:update.zip' option to show up in system recovery? is there something else i should be doing since this is a Korean galS? so far ive found many of the tutorials for N. American and UK galS users on here and XDA forums havent been quite accurate when applied to the Korean version (for example, the method to launch system recovery being different, etc)...

You have an old version of Enomther's TheOfficial ROM (which is an excellent ROM, I happen to use it).

Flash its latest version (thread in Development section), and if the launcher (desktop) speed is what's bothering you - install LauncherPro. This ROM is probably one of the most stable custom ROMs out there, if not the most stable of them.
