[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torontob:
Hi Everyone,

Just heard that the latest 2.2 is out from Google Android. This is what shows me in Settings > About Phone of my white HTC Dream (ROGERS - Canada):

Model - HTC Dream

Firmware version - 2.1-update1

Mod version - CyanogenMod-5.0.7-DS

Build Number - EPE54B

1- Since this is rooted and runs Cyanogen mod already, I should be able to do this upgrade easily right?

2- I don't want to loose data or contacts when I do this upgrade. What should I do to not loose my contacts again?

3- I am on Rogers - Canada and phone comes from them so I don't want to brick it as I know there is another Radio version for it. Please advise accordingly.

4- Why on earth doesn't the CM-updater from Cyanogen shows me a latest mod of 4.x while I have 5.x already running? Why can't I upgrade everything through the CM-updater?

Thanks

Sprint will not sell you the Epic unless its activated in store, so for you unboxers, take your cameras to the stores if you were planning an unboxing video

Why do they need to open my box and finger freak my new $500 phone just to activate it? Use the ESN# from the box and call it a day!

Sent from my Nextel™ using the XDA app
[Epic 4G General] b15love:
I believe Sprint mean it must be activated under a plan, not necessarily activating the phone itself. So if a person tries to come and buy one at full retail under no plan, they wont allow that.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Nope,the phone MUST be activated or it will not be sold, period lol. This is coming from an internal memo I received today

Quoted per memo "no cold sales allowed"
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I don't mind them having to activate the phone on spot. It means that it will be usable more quickly.

But the dude at radioshack IS NOT going to be the one who opens the box and takes off the plastic etc. I will most likely go outside the store and take a moment to open it, then let them activate it. :p

[Epic 4G General] b15love:
talk to the rep explain your situation, sure they can make an exception for the commission they are getting
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
Activating it in store and a cold sale are two different things. Cold sale means it was sold to someone at full price and they don't have an account. You CAN however, sell the phone attached to someone's line, without actually turning the phone on.

One caveat, however: Good luck finding someone willing to do this for you. I know I wouldn't.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA......HAHAHA......HA....*cough*

That's funny. Like the commission is anything decent on one line. I have to do 50 activations a month, and my commission check is barely decent.
[Epic 4G General] Aridon:
Not that you would want to pay full price from Sprint when Amazon has a better deal on the buyout price.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Yeah but I can walk into a Sprint store on launch day and buy one. Can't do that with Amazon. Tuesday is far enough away as it is :P
[Epic 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
you balling, dude, lol
[Epic 4G General] mommasboy:
Why wouldn't you? If I buy it and give it to my friend who has a sprint account wouldn't the phone no longer be on my account and just transfer over to theres, or is it still tied into my account some how?
[Epic 4G General] rawsoup:
is the policy different for the shack and best buy?
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
I dont think its any different at either of those places. I recall both places opening my phones during prior purchases. I went with a buddy of mine to best buy when he got his Evo and they actually updated it and told him they had to put a task killer on it before he could take it. Theres no way im letting the best buy mobile rep do that to my Epic
[Epic 4G General] remedy22:
I thought the off contract price from both sprint and amazon was $499?
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
No tax?

[Epic 4G General] b15love:
with that type of attitude, its obvious your checks are coming out so well. Im in the same game, so I know. ;)
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
No offense, but you don't know the situation, and my attitude at work is flawless (as my CSAT proves). When your quotas double every month for the past 3 months, let me know. 17 handsets and 2500 in accessories in June, 32 and 3500 in July, and now 50 and 5000 in August. I'm working 70 hour weeks just to see the same check I was making in May.

If someone wants to put up a fuss about instant rebates, additional discounts, etc, which we can under no circumstances do for the customer, we inform him that the other 20 people in line are waiting for this phone as well. If he doesn't take it, it's gone in 15 minutes anyways. I'm not going to risk my job because someone wants to give it to their friend and not activate the device. It's attached to the account, plain and simple. It cant be removed from the account until AFTER it's been turned on. What they do after that? Not my problem, don't know, don't care.

Our wait list was up to 575 people at one point, and I'm personally keeping track of 80 people waiting for the device. With about 10-20 EVOs coming in per week, and 5 people per DAY being added to my list, guess who has the advantage?
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Perhaps my friend Mr. Washington could help convince you to release the device without activation, hmmmmmm?!?!?!!!!
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Does Mr. Washington have any friends?

How about his twin brother...Mr. Washington?
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:

[Epic 4G General] b15love:
I wasnt being too serious, I understand. Honestly, that sounds pretty bad. Maybe you should work for Verizon Wireless. If your a great sales rep, you could be making close to 100K a year. I closed 80k my first year.. Just be prepared to eat sleep and sh1t verizon though..
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You know why their commission sucks? Because they tell everybody to call in and have activation/upgrades waived, but guess what pays for their commission?Upgrades/activations...

I work Sprint Retention and my lowest commission check this year (and we get commission monthly) was $1,600.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
You know, you seems to be spreading a LOT of information lately, and a lot of it is questionable at best.

My commission sucks because *I* tell people to call in and get fees waived? No, sorry, *I* don't do that. My commission sucks because my quota has gone up 400% in 3 months, and I have to work 20 hours of overtime just to see the same check I worked 40 hours for in June.

Please, if you don't know what you're talking about (and your interpretation of cold handsets as well as general M&Ps tells me you don't) please just keep it to yourself.

I have the same issue with 1.5 as well as with 2.1 and with this update. I waited for 20minutes or so to get the signal, and then it works good, but if I drastically change my location 50km or more, I lose the signal, and have to wait a lot for it to regain signal.

Like it`s caching the coordinates and then tries to find you somewhere near. Don`t know, but it`s really frustrating.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
Hello everybody,

This is my first guide and i didn't see any other thread for changing it.

U need root

Here we go:

1) u need a .ogg sound-file

2) rename it in a already existing notification-sound (like tinkle.ogg)

3) copy this file into /system/media/audio/notifications

4) go to settings/sound&display/notification and check your changed sound (like tinkle)

5) done
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zephyrix:
Err... you could easily change it to other ones by installing handcent SMS without rooting.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
Yes but there are people who are NOT using handcent-sms and i just wanted to say that it's possible without any app...

And hancent sms can't change the alarm clock sound....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dundun1701:
Try Zedge application on the market, you can change any sms or call notification :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
I've found just creating folders on the sd and putting files in are enough, my alarm is an mp3 named Airraid, and my other two are also mp3s with their original names.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
It worked? I tried too but it didn't work... :/
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bjy8138:
jus use ringdroid to edit the song.. then save as ring tone or notification... so easy
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] downesey:
Im using zedge, and its a little slow, but will change your tones. Also folders in the SD called ringtone notification and alarm will pick up in the sounds and display menus
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PollPixx:
I use Kiss ringtones. New on market and Absolutely great and easy
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Yep, my folders are...

alarms

notifications &

ringtones

...which are placed in media\audio, then use settings to choose my tones. Not sure why it doesn't work for you. :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hush66:
This works for me too. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
i don't know why... xD

@the others: i said without using apps... -.-'
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hush66:
But didn't you use an app to copy the renamed file to /system? :-P
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andyx8:
Nah...

Just convert your music to M4A then put them in sdcard/media/audio/notications.

No need for root.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
No, i moved it via pc (cmd/adb)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
Nah. HTC sent a cease&desist note to a website that was literally only hosting official ROMs. It's just plain ignorance from producers like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danamoult:
Many of the links here are broken and keep linking to the old site.

Here's a shortcut straight to the i9000 firmwares page: http://www.samfirmware.webs.com/i9000.htm
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Alexzander:
I can confirm that the site is on hold :(. This could be the beginning of an end ! Because if Samsung is starting to close all the sites that display the firmware lists we are in big trouble. Samsung kies does not recognise rooted phones ! I get the "The device's version is not upgrabable" even when i have an unrooted rom installed. . Is Samsung doing the same thing that Apple did with the - void waranty if you root/reinstall rom ?

PS: @ShezUK : Whell the site did sound a bit of an official place for Samsung firmwares :). Maybe is just that .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ShezUK:
It's not dead yet. They've moved to http://www.samfirmware.webs.com/ for now and want to eventually get the domain http://www.samfirmware.com/

I expect, or rather hope, that Samsung has no quarrel with them hosting the firmware but it was just that the domain name and presentation suggested they were an official Samsung site and this could end up harming the company's image. Though it's all conjecture for now until we get word from Sammy/the Firmware guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rawat:
Here's to hoping.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
I'm afraid that from what they posted on their site, it looks to me like they got a cease and desist note and changing the name would probably not be sufficient. We can hope but legally, samsung is pulling on the stronger end here so if they dont want a compromise, there is little the site will be able to do...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
well samsung should realize that without these firmwares i would have returned the phone.. and went on to something else.. the 1st f/w was buggy up the a%%
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] snapper.fishes:
I don't understand why phone companies hate websites that host official firmware? Why is that? Intellectual property?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
I can think of plenty:

1) First, the site used Samsung in the name, so they may have been concerned that people think its an official site.

2) Such sites might release prebuilds on roms which may have serious issues but are mistaken for final builds. People may then get *****y that the build they download (which may have the same designation of a final build), isn't stable, and Samsung is screwing them around.

3) Many firmware sites don't properly check submissions, so people can send in fake builds with different designations that aren't actually that version

4) Most firmware sites have almost no safety guards in place to ensure that builds on the website aren't compromised or weren't submitted with trojan's. I see people posting links to random ROM's here, except, how can you be sure they are safe.

5) They don't want to encourage people to do stupid stuff like installing i9000 international stock roms on the USA i9000 phones. It's possible they had many people send in their phones bricked, because they flashed dodgy roms. Odin has NO safeguards in place to ensure we only flash compatible roms.

6) Some of the software included did require licensing. So there may be some concerns by some of those who licensed out their technologies.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
I just don't understand that companies like Samsung, HTC etc. don't open their own sites with (controled) beta firmwares..... It's common practice with software, so why don't do the same thing with firmware.

Real progression is made by finding a right balance between fixed tradition and innovation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miki4242:
They did, in a way, with Kies firmware upgrade test mode. From what I read all around, test mode enables people to update to firmware which is newer than official updates. It is 'controlled' in a way that one has to know the secret handshake to use it: ctrl-alt-u-p :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ElbartoVienna:
Related problem: I'm on stock Firmware, although rooted and lagfixed, and I wanted to start tinkering with different firmwares this weekend. Now I hear that Kies does not recognise rooted phones and thus I would never be able to get the official Froyo ROM if I flashed to another FW? Is that correct? And would a factory wipe not reset the phone? (at least the root, not the FW of course)

regards

Philipp
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quiron:
Samsung guys, if you are reading this, you will know that if you come to this way, you only have to lose.

if not this site, there will be another, and if it is too hard, the people who have Galaxy S, maybe turn to the HTC's phones.

So open your eyes, and do not fight with anyone who likes of your products.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
I don't think you can really compare firmwares with 'regular' software... When regular software crashes or doesn't work you can uninstall it and go back to an older version.

If there is unexpected behavior in firmware:

* The whole process is way more intense (backing up, restoring, etc)

* It might brick the phone making it more painful and for some people maybe even impossible to restore...

I can imagine samsung isn't too happy with the beta firmwares being spread out, I already often read the questions here wether this is official firmware or not. People might blame samsung for errors in a firmware which was not even meant for them, might damage samsungs and the galaxy s reputation.

That said, I still hope they don't try to completely ban them from the web. Perhaps this was just a combination of their name and the downloads which made them decide it was just a bit too much.
