[HD2 General] harddisk_wp:
Hi all,

my EU HD2 has some strange issues:

a) it doesnt boot anymore at all. just shows a blank white screen (Stock ROM 1.72 from O2 DE)

b) HSPL2.08 is installed, but I can't install another or original SPL. HSPL tool says "its done" but next boot its again 2.08HSPL

c) RUU doesn't work, simply hangs at 0%.

d) ROM flash by sdcard doesn't work; took the O2 1.72 RUU_signed.nbh, put it onto a 2GB SD Card, but nothing happens when I load the bootloader. Doesn't matter if card is FAT,FAT32 or exFAT.

e) screen has a broken flatcable, colors look like on LSD, which is why I wanna go for warranty. obviously I can't with the HSPL still installed and no way to show staff the weird colors.

Anyone got an idea what the f*** is wrong here?

Thanks,

Marco

edit:

- tried different machine and 2 different SD cards, no change for a)-e) :/

It's in the market. I found it and it works extremely well, you just have to make sure you find the highest res album art covers. This is more of a Samsung Music Player issue and it not displaying album art at the correct resolution, but if you find the right album art (biggest/sharpest/most accurate in color in the preview) for the song, it'll look much better. It's really bothersome for me to look at severely pixelated album art.

It helps, but still seems like the images are being downscaled/resized etc. They should look extremely sharp like it does with the largest Mixzing widget but they just don't.

Download the Mixzing and you'll see what I mean, I don't like this app much because of the current limitations but album art just pops off the screen with it.

When you go into Settings: Call Settings: All calls: Call status tones

Do you have the option for the call disconnect tone? The galaxy s user manual indicated that it should be there and yet I don't see it. I have had a few instances where I have been talking to myself after a dropped call and I'd rather not continue this behavior...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqtrans:
Nope, definitely not there for me. Would be nice to have it added somehow, or replace Call/Contacts app entirely with the stock AOSP one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwolmarans:
Got a link to this any information at all (developer as well as non-developer) on the stock AOSP one? I intensely dislike the touchwiz phone app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zvadim:
I badly miss this feature. With all the mordern noice cancelation you frequently don't hear background noise, so when call ends unexpectedly you may not realize it. Very annoying. Please let me know if you've found an alternative solution for end of call tone

Sorry double posted
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
I just plugged in my wife's iPhone SIM into the Vibrant to unlock, then ran the SpeedTest.net app.

I got 1209 kbps down and 347 kbps down in West LA.

Not bad, considering that at the same spot I get 400-600 kbps down and 700-1000 kbps up on t-Mobile.

Anyway, it means that the Vibrant can do perfectly adequately internationally.
[Vibrant General] bwolmarans:
And in West LA, with the spirent settings removed, the GPS works pretty good too!
[Vibrant General] applebook:
Once I get my phone unlocked, I'll post my Canadian TMO Vibrant 3G scores.
[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
How does LA get worse than Columbus, OH? Amount of people on the network?
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
hmm

I get great speeds here in tampa, FL

:D:D
[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
Nice numbers! How many gma's are surfing the web down there?!
[Vibrant General] raduque:
I get anywhere between 500kbps (1 bar) to 1200kbps (5 bars) download, and between 100-300 kbps (1 bar/5 bars respectively)

TMOs 3G is pathetic in this part of town (my home).
[Vibrant General] scrizz:

Ha, test server is in Bellevue up the street. Amusing.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
1900MHz carriers are rarely used because AT&T has their network spaced out for 850MHz. 850MHz is probably the most overcrowded and slow.

For the record, 1900 is hardly "international"
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
the same can be said for AWS ;)

LOL

:D
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Yeah T-Mobile either seems to be really fast, or just plain sucky. Luckily I live in a place where it's really fast :)
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
The TMO 3G situation at my place is quite amusing. I can get around 1-2mbps from where I am, but if I drive about 2 miles in one direction I'll get 4-5mbps easily. Go the opposite way 2 miles and I am lucky to get 700kbps. Would be great to see the backhaul to the surrounding towers upgraded a bit more.

Samsung, help cheer up the trapped Chilean miners

As many of you will know, at the very moment 33 miners are trapped inside a collapsed mine. Until rescuers are able to get to them, there is very little the miners can do except to try to stay alive. It is estimated that it may take until Christmas, 4 months(!) from now, until they can be rescued.

Ongoing news coverage via Google News (link)

Carilion Clinic doctor says Chilean miners face mental health concerns (link)

Trapped Chile miners: Nasa asked to 'help with psychological trauma' (link)

As explained by a NASA astronaut, trying to stay alive while being trapped in a very small confined space means much more than just getting enough to eat and drink. It is very important psychologically for the miners to have something to do to pass the time, to keep them from going insane during their long wait for rescue.

Currently, the only way rescuers are able to transport items to and from the place where the miners are trapped is by some narrow, extremely long bore shafts. There is no way to send down very large or heavy objects...but small, light smartphones should not be a problem!

Being a gadget freak like many of you probably are, too, I would like to petition Samsung to provide the miners with some of our beloved Galaxy S phones :)

Of course, making ordinary phone calls would be impossible down at that depth underground, but it would certainly be possible for the miners to make video recordings. Maybe even a wireless hotspot device lowered down into the shaft would enable the miners to video call their loved ones topside.

Also, the miners can use the excellent multimedia features to watch movies, listen to music, read ebooks and maybe play some games while they are down there.

I believe it would be a very generous gesture if Samsung could provide these desperate lonely people with something to cheer them up.

This is why I would like to ask you to sign this petition so we can present it to Samsung asking them to help the miners in Chile.

Please reply to this petition by stating your name and any contact info you wish to share. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Signed,

Alain Kalker, Enschede, The Netherlands.

MOD: Chainfire, mikechannon, would you please consider crossposting this thread to the relevant forums, maybe link to it from the portal? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
One question..how do they charge the phones?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
What about batteries... should they send down a new box every day?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
External high capacity USB chargers with replaceable packs (5000mAh+) should do the trick. I've no doubt Samsung can come up with the right specs for those. Beats having to peel off the back cover with gritty hands anytime! :)

If even NASA's on the job, running out of juice will be the least of the problems :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
NASA has a wii....

I vote for playboy magazines.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
they can probably lower a very long extension cord and usb charger for every one

i saw some video of the miners on the news

they have some sort of webcam down there
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Many mining companies send stuff like ipods down anyway (at least they did in Australia). Mining companies are nearly pure profit, so they should be doing this anyway..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
In that case, they might as well send down a iPhone4. Not like they are going to get reception problems down there :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
I wonder if Iridium Sat phones work down there..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tyj82:
battery

I do hope samsung battery does not explode under extream temperature down there.

There is not point have android phone without market. So they need internet too.

I think iphone work better down there.

1. Samsung screen is too bright down there

2. Iphone has more games in app store

3. They need flash to take photo and video. (i9000 does not have flash)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
I shouldn't have... but I lol'd...

Hemm, you have good intentions buddy, but I wonder if theres not better alternatives than galaxy s (even though we love our sgs).

Anyways, I hope they're out asap, before they even have the chance to accept these things.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Well, name a better alternative :)

iPhone 4's are not such a great idea I think, their (external) antennas will short out in the probably damp conditions there. Lol about that one I dare you :) it's a serious concern.

Also I think the SGS is easily the phone with most features per ounce, so they're not just sending down a heavy stack of shiny pieces of glass (iPhones, whether Gorilla glazed or not). Dangerous that, if the payload gets unhooked!. Just imagine a stack of iPhones barrelling down a tube at terminal velocity, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near! :)

(Oh my, I've really become tipsy with sleep deprivation working on the fm radio fix, joking about such a serious topic.)

I really hope these people down there get all the help they need, FAST.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
1. works perfect for them to light up their way in the caves ;)

3. they can use Night Mode :D

Trying to decide whether to but it or not........
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
If you look at the bottom of the packaging since its under Bestbuy's Brand name "Platinum Series" you will see on the bottom the battery is actually by Seidio . You will get mixed reviews on it . Some say the battery performs as well as the stock 1500 , some say you will get an hour or more extra over the stock battery . As usual it all depends on your usage and what you consider "heavy" usage and "light" usage . I have this battery in mine , but the damn thing doesnt like to charge to full . It seems to be a similar issue the people with the 3500 expierence . Mine registers as 100% then after some use it drops to the mid 80% range . I recieved mine as a gift so i aint really out anything but still have been messing with it . Personally I feel it gives me just alittle extra battery life . Maybe hour or two more , but bare in mind my usage during the day is occassionally checking weather , checking my email three or four times and sending and recieving 150-200 texts a day . As they say your mileage will vary .
[EVO 4G Accessories] jm5503:
Thanks for the insight......Didn't notice the Seido branding....ill probably take the dice and give it a shot..
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Sprint store has extended battery for 35 bucks, 2200mah. Do all extended batts come with the bigger back for the phone. Just wondering. This has a new back, but they don't have a case to fit it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
If the battery is designed to be used in the HTC EVO then yes it should come with a bigger back . I think the biggest that can be installed in the EVO without a back is a 1800 sized battery . I have not seen anything released other than Ebay batteries with backs (usually dont measure up to their true rating) or the TP2 battery but I believe that is a 2150 battery and from what some members have said will not register with the EVO's charging software . Otherwise I haven't seen any stores sprint or otherwise selling this sized battery
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Hmmm. I bought one this past weekend and am running it now. I was gonna take it back cause I can't stand not having a cover on my phone, but gonna see what batt life I can get.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Actually, I need to take back what I said, just pulled the back off the phone and it is a 2700mah, not 2200.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
dude, why would you spend 50 bucks on 1750 when we all know it wont even be close to that.... instead you could spend 9 more bucks @ mobilecity and get you the seidio 3500 mah
[EVO 4G Accessories] ckombo:
I bought these and they work great. 1800mah. You get two and a charger for half the price. Based on my non-scientific testing, I have estimated that they do have close to 20% more capacity than the stock.

[EVO 4G Accessories] arkshel:
I bought a 1800mah from ebay and it seems to last a little longer, but I only paid less than $20
[EVO 4G Accessories] RVCA:
not worth it...you cant tell a difference between the 1500mah and the 1750mah. On my last phone (BB BOLD 9000) i used the seido 1750mah....waste of money. Your better off getting the 3000mah hong kong batt off ebay.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BAleR:
Ok, i had the evo, it was great. I rooted it and unlocked nand it wasnt hard. Now i got the mytouch 3g from t-mobile. Can someone direct me to the right place to root? Is there a way to root it without a computer? And does this phone have nand like the evo did or just root? Thanks for any help.

Can someone tell me how to change icon packs? I would love to have these icons, but I have no clue how to change them except for the dock in launcher pro. these would go great with black mod
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tejasrichard:
You have to go into each individual apk and replace the icon with the one you want from that icon pack. Tedious, but not hard. You may need to resize the image, and you will almost definitely need to rename it to match the one in the apk...though maybe not, since that pack was actually made for android...

Have fun!

OR you could download ADW launcher and just hold down on the home screen and select custom shortcut

OR download bettercut and apply them that way

i have a radio with USB support, but i've been wondering is it safe if i plug in the usb cable to charge my Desire?

like if there is any data loss, or overcharging/overheating/etc?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xorkie:
good idea. Why I never thought of this. My car audio also has a USB port for USB thumbdrive's MP3. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
Yeah i jus thought of that after buying the car charger(lolz...)

anyone can confirm on this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loakyj:
I've used the USB port off my Blaupunkt Headunit. That worked fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I don't think it can cause any damage - it's a USB port, and thus should be adhering to the power requirements of the USB standard.

The bigger issue though is that it may only output 0.5A meaning that it will charge slowly when it does charge and will not be providing enough current to charge the device when using satellite navigation - you'd have to check the specs of the head unit.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loakyj:
In fact I thought it was charging slowly when I plugged it into the HU, that'd be why then I bet. Thanks for that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
Slow is not a problem. Its just that, maybe i can use it as an emergency charger, just in case.

Thanks for the help guys!
[Captivate General] GuestK00442:
Has anyone noticed that when u go into contacts there is a history tab that saves every email, mms, sms & call sent or recieved by the phone. This is very annoying when u go to erase ur call & sms log as you also have to go into contacts and erase the history log also. Is there anyway to turn this off, is there a change in froyo?

Thanks in advance

When your on the history tab press the menu button and then view by...you can select what to show..

Ok, Socal is huge. We know it has been located in Costa Mesa, OC, & Westwood.

It's now in the SFV, Canoga Park.

Sprint's site indicates a 'future tower' around Chatsworth by the 118, maybe it's active now. :)
[EVO 4G General] waterboy100:
first of all the image i get is a speedtest app screen capture.,

second of all, scrpints coverage map shows "furure sprint 3g network tower" so im not sure where you are getting a 4g tower from.
[EVO 4G General] appzattak:
waterboy, it's true...I get 4g in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, West Covina and Pomona......
[EVO 4G General] abisai:
They are definitely testing out 4G in the area. I've had signal in Irvine close to John Wayne Airport, in Anaheim near the 91 between 57 and 55 freeways, and in Los Angeles near the federal building. So yea, its coming.
[EVO 4G General] waterboy100:
i hit enter too soon.

i know that there is 4g up in other places i have gotten it in Burbank and around Staples center downtown.

I was in Chatsworth yesterday and there was no 4g yet.

also, is it safe to assume that any future tower is 4g compatible? or was OP looking at a different map.
[EVO 4G General] mzaiderman:
I'm no expert with cell towers, but I made an assumption that they are probably backwards compatible. The 3G coverage in that area is sufficient to say the least, so another inclination to question them putting in another 3G tower and not 4G.

The screen cap shows the 4G signal and a speedtest show bandwidth speeds. Was that so confusing?

[EVO 4G General] SteveDusa:
I think Sprint is rolling them out in SoCal for sure... it used to be I can only get spotty coverage in downtown, now it's improved and in San Gabriel Valley area, they rolled them out as well. The furtherest WiMax coverage around SGV I noticed is as far as 19/Valley.

However I just don't see any signal on Huntington...
[EVO 4G General] waterboy100:

Actually saw a post somewhere else yesterday claiming they got 4G in the valley. Didnt believe it. On the drive home turned my 4G on when exiting nordhoff on the 405, picked up a signal around balboa but didnt connect. Got 1 bar around zelzah. When i got home i couldn't believe i had full bars on 4G, super excited. I Live next to CSUN by Rayen st. Did many speed test but wasnt getting 10MB/sec. Best was 5MB but usually getting 2-3M/b sec. Not bad at all but 10 is crazy. When i tether on my comp i get better results about 7mb/sec. Maybe its my phone because I've flashed many roms and im not sure which ver wimax i got. Anyone know how i can check my wimax ver. Heard a lot of people getting broken wimax so i kinda dont wanna mess with it. Any suggestions?

Now I'm trying to convince the wife to get the EVO (shes loves her iphone) so i can cancel my home internet.

Wassup all,

So when I got home today wanted to check out 4g again. When I ran speedtest I was getting about 1.5mb pretty weak but I realized I was testing from the wrong server, I think it was Atlanta or something. When I switched, these are the results I got. This is in my bedroom laying down on my bed so I'm definetly a happy camper. $10 extra is worth it now. Looks like won't be needing roadrunner anymore. :-)
