[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] n1kon:
I dont think you can "brick" an android device. I've had customers come in with all sorts of failed atemps of rooting and hacking and have fixed them all.

Device list:

Samsung Galaxy s

Samsung Galaxy

Samsung Apollo

HTC Wildfire

HTC Desire

Sony X10

Sony X10 Mini Pro

LG Intouch Max

T-Mobile G2

T-Mobile G1

There are a few things like when people dont make back ups of there efs folder etc but that is just user "school boy" errors by people who would play Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun and go first.

Why do people jump into things without thinking and expect others to fix it when they f**k it up. My advice is that if you cant afford to buy a new one when you brake it then leave it alone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cryolithic:
Flashing the software shouldn't "brake" it. It shouldn't break it either. Point is, the phones have a method of recovering from a bad flash, and that isn't working for some of us. We shouldn't have to be ready to buy a whole new phone, just to try different software.

Is there a way to limit the call history displayed? My old phone would let me limit it to same day, one week, 2 weeks, ect. I can not find a setting for this anywhere on the phone. Help?
[Vibrant General] martin0641:
I just wanted to let people know that using VLC on Windows (I can't confirm other platforms) you can stream almost anything VLC can play to your device.

Simply open VLC, goto View, Add Interface, and select Web Interface.

On your device grab VLC stream and Convert from the market.

There are different modes available, for example you can use your device as a VLC remote control - or you can stream to your phone for viewing there.

Make sure you go into settings and make Portrait 480 and Landscape 800. Then goto Stream RTSP, enable MP4A LATM, Set audio to 160, use 5 reference frames, and raise video bitrate to the most your network or connection can handle (If using a VPN you should be able to stream your whole home movie collection over a friends WiFi, out of your phones USB-2-HDMI port, and on to their big screen TV (Albeit at a max 768 bitrate). All over their WiFi. I also kept the framerate at 25, it seemed to play better but that might be source dependent. I set the audio to autosync.

Your settings may very, but mine usually don't get corrupted on a 54g LAN unless that blasted microwave is used...

With my Ultimate Ears and my Vibrant, I literally sat on the couch and watched the first season of "Community" with pretty good results. I got some odd looks when my laughter erupted seemingly out of no where, but it was better than watching HGTV.

The iPhone version of this is called AirServer, if anyone has heard of that.

I hope this helps someone. I actually used the free RDP app in the Market to connect to my PC, start VLC, then browsed through my whole system (all drives seem to be accessible, I am sure there are security concerns to consider).

Once I get my ocular implants and my Bluetooth audio implants I can truly just lay around slack-jawed. One day! I'm not holding my breath...but Ray Kurzweil needs to hurry it up already...
[Vibrant General] martin0641:
Also

Also, while I was looking I wanted to point out that "Google Listen" was released for podcasts. It integrates into Google Reader and seems pretty sweet.
[Vibrant General] dbacchus:
Wow! I had no idea... will be checking it right now!
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Nice find. Although, I don't think it is auto converting the video (or On-the-Fly conversion like some people might call it). Vibrant supports mkv/avi natively. I tried your method using the free version which the author stated does NOT support auto conversion and the videos (one avi, one mkv) worked fine but with distorted audio.

The Pro-Version does support auto conversion but that is located under its own separate menu and not "RTSP Streaming". I have not tried the pro version personally, but perhaps someone can buy the pro version to test out how well it works.
[Vibrant General] smerff:
epic win. thank you sir, this will certainly make those long trips to the inlaws more bearable.
[Vibrant General] danpaganelli:
Perfect

Something that helped me was to make sure the Server Port in VLC, which was a default of '1234' matched up with VLC Stream and Convert, which was default at 554. Once I changed that to 1234 bam, perfect.

Thanks:D

Blink is one of our best and popular apps. Here are some great features:

Blink lets you customize your system and more LED alerts in your way!

- New SMS & MMS LED Color & Frequency Adjustment

- Missed Call LED Color & Frequency Adjustment

- New Phone Call LED Color & Frequency Adjustment

- Low Battery LED Color & Frequency Adjustment

- Low System Memory LED Color & Frequency Adjustment

Now we want to update Blink to a new version. Is there any idea? That would be very appreciate
[Android Apps and Games] antnik:
I use blink and it's great. I'd love it to be able to turn off the charging light on Xperia X10
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 2351944:
Calendar notifications.

Email notifications.

Gmail notifications.

LED blinks in sequence - i.e. if your SMS LED is blue and your email LED is green and your calendar LED is red, and you have one of each alert, it should blink blue, green, red.

All of these should be able to be turned on and off, of course.

I would pay good money for a single app that would universally and reliably allow me to change all of my notification LEDs. I know a lot of people are cheap and won't consider an app over $1.99 but I think a solid tool that would allow me to know every kind of notification just by glancing at my phone is worth $5 no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Davidandroid:
Thanks for all your comments. we will gather all the requirments into consideration and add to the next new version update.:p
[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
Add vibration settings for sms, gmail, phone call, whatever. That way Blink will be comparable to BerryBuzz for those of us who came from a Blackberry.
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
If you could override the charging light on the X10 (ie: cause notifications to display even when charging, but otherwise leave the charging light as normal), it would be a huge boon to resolving one of my biggest niggles about the phone.
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
I'm going to try it with the OC kernel. If not, I'm going back to stock for a bit.

Here's hoping we get a CM release soon!!!!!
[Vibrant General] ndhr3d:
Quick question about Froyo. I understand that it's supposed to be all that and a couple bags of chips... with flash and better processing and such. If we flash to a different version than the stock ROM that came on the phone, will we still be notified of the update through T-mobile when the official release happens? Or will they somehow know that we aren't running stock programming and say that we've voided our right to updates??

Sorry if that isn't the brainiest of questions. I'm new to androids and would rather not deal with anything that will cause heartache. I'm not asking if we ROOT the phone... I know that simply opens files and capabilities to users... I'm wondering if we flash to a different anything that modifies the system if they can see that and refuse to update us.
[Vibrant General] kizer:

[Vibrant General] remixfa:
im DL kies right now to check it out. They say galaxy i9000 in the facebook post.. i got the same one.. but we'll see. It should say before you try to install it which one its for.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
There is a possibility that it MIGHT work but i wouldn't try it because it might flash Euro bands and brick your device. Just wait a couple of hours (or tomorrow) because Eugene is working on creating compatibility for the Froyo rom to work on the Vibrant (possibly Captivate and other Galaxy S devices) without bricking and allowing flashing to previous ROMs.

Unless you love messing with Odin I'd seriously avoid playing with the International version because I'm guessing Odin and the stock rom is the only way to get it back to a US model.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bplantonio:
I had OTA 2.2 and i rooted it with the available method. I tried to instal cyanogenmod 6 but it wouldnt work. I was told to do an NAND unlock with simpleroot.2 because it would downgrade the hboot to make it work with cyanogen. However, my radio also went back to version 1.36.00.04.02. Whenever i turn the phone on now i get the hboot menu, but whenever i go to recovery a phone with a red triangle comes up. Any idea how to fix this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeallison:
This is based on an original root method, but should work.

Once you get to the triangle when trying to pull up recovery.....

Make sure you have ADB installed

Connect to USB

Unzip this package and run the appropriate install file for your computer's OS

it should send the RA recovery image to your phone.

You should then be in RA recovery.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
I hated when Android made the move to the 3d gallery. Anyone know where I can get the old version, and if replacing the current gallery will work with it?

I'm hunting down old roms and backups on my external hd now.... curious if others have replaced the 3d gallery.

Please give input!

I found this from CM 5.0.7... which I think is not the 3d gallery. Will wait till I hear from others before I go replacing..... I'm thinking if I use root explorer and move the stock gallery to my sd (for a backup) and drop this is system/app I should be good to go after a reboot... thoughts?

EDIT: SUCCESSFULLY REPLACED THE CALENDAR (IN MY STICKY THREAD), BUT NO DICE WITH THE GALLERY... NO .ODEX FILE I GUESS? WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP LIST. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, JUST DIDNT WANT PEOPLE GOING CRAZY WITH THE ATTACHED FILE.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Correct me if Im wrong but couldnt you just download a G1 rom running 2.1 or 2.2. Most of these roms have BOTH the old Gallery and the new Gallery installed.

This is how I would go about doing it as I like the Picasa functionality of the new gallery. It would just seem better to have both giving you a choice of better image quality on zoom in the old gallery and Picasa integration in the new gallery.

Should just be able to decompile the APK for the old gallery and rename it to Gallery2d or what not, change the icon and you're set.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TJD319:
Im really not big on the 3D gallery either, and thats mainly because 1) i had a mytouch and a mt3gs so it wasnt the smoothest... 2) i have certain directories thats are "private" and its not cool having them popup with mutliple pics.. haha

But on the Vibrant there was so much good to the phone that it outwieghed the gallery thing. Id like a 2D gallery, but I like the Picasa integration too and also wonder how the Camera would get involved with a 2D gallery.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ritalin:
This is a simple fix. Because you are using android you can hide folders in the same way that you do on any Linux system. Simply open your file manager, Astro should work well for this, find the folder of shameful pics;), choose to rename it and simply add a period "." to the beginning of the folder name. So if the folder was called shameful-pics the new folder name would be .shameful-pics.

Now that your folder is hidden, the gallery should not pick it up. If you want to view the images simply open Astro back up and brows to that folder and use the Astro photo viewer to see the pics.

[Captivate Accessories] ryanjg11:
This product actually does not fit the Captivate correctly, and at least one other XDA member has had this problem as well. It seems to be a manufacturing defect where the bottom-left corner won't close all the way.

What really pisses me off is how Samsung treated me when I called their Accessories Returns department. The first time I called, I was given an RMA number and told the postage pre-paid label would show up in my email. It never did, so I called again a week later and was told by another rep that the "case is actually fine, you just don't know how to install it."

That's right, he told me I was too stupid to install a snap-on case. He continued to stand by that, and I told him to give me his address because I'm sending this garbage back to him. I had to spend $6 out of pocket to send it back.

Just ticks me off.
[Captivate Accessories] Rob_Wing:
I'm calling tommorow to get my return set up. It's pretty ridiculous that they would basically insult you on the phone like that. Someone's supervisor is getting lit up if I get any crap like that.

And ditto on the case. Horrible fit. It actually scratched the top of the phone right where the 3.5mm jack is. Never ever thought I would get that bad of a product direct from Sammy.
[Captivate Accessories] chupacabrachus:
the case is garbage

So everyone's left side is the side that will not close? To start my left side had a gap at the bottom, now it is the entire left side.

I am still using the case until my amzer snap on shows up. Hopefully it is not a huge disappointment. Once it does I'll attempt to return the case.
[Captivate Accessories] WD333:
My Carbon Fiber case from Samsung didn't fit right either. There was a small but noticeable gap on the left hand (volume) side. The case had a really nice feel to it, although it did feel a little bulky.

I returned mine last week. Waiting to see how the Seidio or 2nd Body Glove cases are.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
How'd you get the return label? I couldn't even get them to do that.

Oh and when they processed my return they subtracted out their S&H Cost and the tax on that, too.

Not impressed with them to say the least.
[Captivate Accessories] imb951:
FWIW, I just got off the phone with a knowledgeable Samsung rep. I've ordered, but haven't recieved my case yet and I was going to process the return before I even got it based on the replies to this thread.

The rep said they had an employee meeting, specifically about this case, where a number of employees were given the phone and a case to try and install it. He said that nobody got it installed correctly on the first try.

There is apparently a trick to installing this case. The rep I spoke to was VERY specific when telling me how to install it. Lay the phone screen facing up in the bottom half, line it up, then PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the "little tabs" when you line them up. He said that in order to install it correctly, you're supposed to line up and snap the bottom tabs first, then push "inward and upward", towards the AT&T logo to get the top tabs to correctly come together. He said that if you do it wrong, the tabs will break.

I am holding off on processing my return until my case ships to me and I have a chance to try installing it correctly.
[Captivate Accessories] WD333:
Redesign?

I thought that I read on another forum that Samsung acknowledged that there was a manufacturing defect and that they were "redesigning" the case? But I could be wrong or the person who posted it was misinformed.

Either way, I did try to install mine every which way and no matter what I did, there was still a small gap on the bottom left. It didn't seem like I installed it wrong, it simply looked like the back piece that met with the front piece in that spot wasn't mold correctly somehow.
[Captivate Accessories] imb951:
WD333 could also be right...
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
That's exactly how I did mine however I didn't play "close" attention to where the tabs were at... If it takes micrometers to line the freaking case up just to install it then it's a design defect regardless.

Ordered myself a TPU case.
[Captivate Accessories] imb951:
You were right. The case is a POS and doesn't snap together in the lower left corner.

Returning and reporting the rude Samsung representative that I spoke with that refused to admit that there is a blatant design flaw EVEN AFTER SHOWING HER THIS THREAD! :mad:
[Captivate Accessories] Jeepsdaddy:
I got the lower portion of the case to snap perfectly...

On the bottom half I simply took a knife and shaved a little bit of plastic on the innerside of the lip so that the top half of the case can snap in all the way.

I'll take pictures when I get home tonight if anyone is interested in the procedure.. Let me know.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Accessories] dowenprs:
I did basically the same thing Jeepsdaddy did, I used a small file, but the problem I see with the case snapping together is just that the bottom left tab doesn't have enough of a lip on it. It's smaller than all the others, so I just filed a bit to give it more of a lip, and it's just about perfect now.

I agree you shouldn't have to do that, but it was a rather minor fix. Other than that the case is great, love the look and feel of it.

Peace

[Captivate Accessories] D J Richert:
Samsung Captivate Carbon Fiber Case

I also purchased the captivate 'carbon fiber' case. First of all, it is not carbon fiber like I've ever seen. And no the case would not close properly on the volume side. Now when I examined the phone I did happen to notice that on the same side with the problem closing there does seem to be some residual die marks on that side of the phone itself. Now how much that would affect the fit of the case to me is unclear but being that the case itself is such a tight fit who knows. I finally got my case to close properly by deepening the inside of the tabs and cleaning them up with a dremel. It was not perfect but it did work and I bet someone with a steadier hand could have done a better job. I also think the Carbon Fiber case is actually deceptful advertising. Of course when I first got the case I emailed Samsung several times but got no response. When I finally got hold of them over the phone they said it was too late to do anything (past 30 days) Go figure.
