The Galaxy S line is Samsung's first

serious

Android offering

Samsung is publicly and openly in competition with Motorola to overthrow HTC as the premier Android manufacturer

The media will eat them alive if they let the Galaxy S line flounder, and this will be counter to their publicly stated mission above.

Who the F**K cares because everyone who trolls here is going to ditch their phones around Spring of next year when the multi core phones start rolling out.
[Fascinate General] smashpunks:
You make some good points, but although I think boodies was outta line, he's right, this ain't a moment, a behold or a Spica, this is the galaxy s. I think Samsung will be different about how they deal with this phone.

Just look at the GPS fixed in the leaked rom. There trying, I was all on board when this phone released, then got off track thinking Samsung has done it again and screwed us, then all the sudden bamn a leaked rom with much much improved GPS.

I have this phne for 2-3 weeks and it never run out of battery completely. Yesterday it did and when i plugged the charger it opened and it got stuck in the clock screen. No buttons are responding only the hard reset (power button and the middle one). The screen turns on and off every one minute. It is a mess...any help is appreciated!

Solved: Thank you guys for helping. I found that the solution was to download the Update Service from SE and follow EXACTLY the steps it mentions.

Steps:

1 Deactivate the phone for 30 secs. (in this case unplug the battery once it could not close normally)

2 plug the micro USB in the phone and then the USB to the PC

3 Before plugging the USB to the pc press the back button and hold it for as it takes. it takes a while. the the update service will start formating your software and it will be as new...notice that what the sd card contrains isn't deleted

realy ther is noone with the same problem? i start to worry. please could anyone say any opinion?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VooDoo`:
Hello,

try to start your phone in save mode and then deinstall your 3. party apps.

I think the failture comes from an app.

an app could also be the reason for a verly long boot time.

her some info's about the save mode: androinica.com/2010/08/06/how-to-activate-android%E2%80%99s-safe-mode-to-get-out-of-a-force-close-loop/

hope this can help you with your problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blulmn:
My suggestion to you would be to take it back to the place where you bought it and tell them to fix it... if it's only 2-3 weeks old they shouldn't argue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastandlight:
I've been trying to figure this out on my own for a while and haven't made any headway. I have about 3gb of music on the internal memory and about 10gb on my 16gb memory card.

In general I am having trouble getting all of my music to be seen and to play. In the HTC music player most if not all of the albums show up, but are missing songs and the like. DoubleTwist doesn't see any of the songs in the internal memory and has the same issue with not seeing all of the songs on each album. The cubed media player shows 89 albums of "unknown" artist that contain a bunch of the songs that aren't showing where they are supposed to, but have a length of 0:00.

All of the music appears when I browse the card in astro.

I've tried using SongBird's FolderSync to copy the music and I've used doubleTwist, along with just dragging and dropping the music folders. It seems no matter what I have some set of the same issues.

What are people doing to actually get all of their music to copy and play properly?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cammeron1978:
me too...finally someone else who is seeing the same issue....EVERY 2.2 ROM has done.this and it DID NOT group almost everything into an (UNKNOWN) artist folder ...

I've noticed no media player will read artist folders properly..root explorer and astrology...(file managers) have no problem seeing the files and the proper names its just the phone and its media reader

1900 songs on my media card and 1700 of them are grouped as unknown makes media player almost unusable...

Also I've noticed that if u are looking at artists and go to album view it even reads those and orders those properly but still lists them as unknown artist

anyone have ANY insight would be awesome
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealDex:
I have spent about 2 days now tagging and retagging my music. I have about 2700 songs all on my internal storage and was upset when it went from being mostly, properly, sorted to all "Unknown Artist". I tagged and retagged and then tagged some more. I changed the album art and double checked all of it time and time again. I've formatted the memory, restarted the phone, flashed an updated ROM and have yet to figure it out.

I am currently using Virtuous 2.5. I had the issue using Virtuous 2.1 and 2.3 and Adrynalyne's Third Wave (but not his FrankenROM). It's pretty annoying. I am hoping that someone can shed the light on this issue. I haven't heard many people talk about it, but it is one of my main issues with 2.2 thus far.

I guess that I'm lucky to have a main gripe be something as trivial as the way it sorts the media, though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastandlight:
Glad I'm not the only one, but really, did re-tagging help? I don't have the time to do all of that. A lot of my files won't even play, even though they appear on the card in Astro and have a reasonable file size. They show up in the media players as 0:00 length.

Anyone have any success? Is this a 2.2 issue? It occured on SkyRaider 2.5.2, 3.0, and the latest Virtuous ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealDex:
The extensive tagging did nothing. It made me feel better, because I know that everything is right, but little more than that.

It seems like it is a 2.2 issue of some kind, I'm just not sure of where or what it is. Which is why I came here. I don't see many other posts concerning this issue, so I assume we are either a minority or are missing something very simple.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastandlight:
I just looked through my music more closely after a new sync using the new version of doubleTwist. It looks like the HTC Media Player is not seeing the first 4 or 5 tracks of my albums on the SD card. It looks like it is seeing most of the music on the internal memory.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealDex:
I ran a Media Go (some piece of garbage Sony syncing software) and Windows Media Player sync today. I synced them right over the top of each other, hoping that at least one of them would work. I see a lot of album art and I see a whole lot of songs, but for some unknown reason the Artists are all "Unknown".

Every. Last. One.

I have them split into albums and I've got plenty of songs that seem to be set up properly and have the art that goes with them, but under the "Artist" tab, it refuses to recognize. I never had this problem when I first got my phone and I am sure it has something to do with the newer ROMs.

Again, I don't see many people talking about this... so, I have to be a minority or an idiot. Maybe both. Hopefully I can get the problem fixed. I'm going to go on a tagging spree and try to get a dozen or so songs working so that maybe I can spend another couple of days getting all 2700 or so songs working. =(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealDex:
Alright.

I did some digging. It turns out that there are either more people with EVOs or they communicate far better than the Incredible community, because I found several threads pertaining to issues similar to this with the EVO.

Thread 747895 right here on XDA.

Android Central has a post about a similar issue - (32456) problems-music-player-after-update under the Droid Incredible section.

Basically, it looks like WMA and AAC files refuse to acknowledge their tags, properly. Sorting them by song name or into folders by album seems to help a little, but the tracks still seem to have issues recognizing artists and track numbers.

There are other problems, apparently, but these seem to be the ones mostly likely upsetting my music player.

I first documented this issue here, but did not have info at the time that is also affects AAC files:

Go to the google Code reporting thread, sign into google, and star the thread so it will get some bloody attention.

http://code.google.com/p/android/is...ag&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

Update - I discovered that the doubleTwist player will read the ID3 tags properly, so it is obviously not depending on whatever item in Froyo is messing this up that the other players are. The one downside is that it currently does not ignore ring tones, alarms and notification tones stored on the SD card. This is supposed to be addressed int the next upcoming version.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastandlight:
Using Songbird 1.8 and the MSC plug-in, I transcoded my library to OGG and it is working perfectly. DoubleTwist no longer sees any music, but the HTC player is working well and cubed seems to be running well, except for not seeing any music on the internal memory.

The bug is clearly in how the music players are reading the MP4 files from iTunes. F-ing Apple.
[Android] fonix232:
I was recently looking at the new RBM2 (RedBullMobile2) what is a Huawei U8230 with customized ROM. As the HW in this phone is kinda limited (128MB ROM, 528Mhz CPU) it may run a bit finer than CM6. And also do not forget to mention the cool launcher, what is (unfortunately) binded to the framework :S

So I want to begin porting the whole firmware to our beloved G1, but I don't really know where to start. I think we may grab the drivers for BT, Wifi, GPS, and mobility (phone functions), and maybe the bootloader too (I'm not sure, RBM2 has a bit different layout than G1).

This far I got the firmware of the latest Éclair release (2.1) of the Austrian RBM2.

This firmware contains the following languages:

ar, cs, da, de, en-GB, es, fi, fr, hu, it, iw, ja, ko, nl, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, zh-CN and zh-TW

The partition layout of the RBM2:

mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot"

mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd2: 00140000 00020000 "misc"

mtd3: 00060000 00020000 "splash"

mtd4: 0aa00000 00020000 "system"

mtd5: 04600000 00020000 "cache"

mtd6: 0ca60000 00020000 "userdata"

mtd7: 01400000 00020000 "userdata2"

I think by flashing simply the system.img we can do the trick, but the file size is currently too huge (114MB). We have to lower it under 96MB to make it :S

/* As a sidenote, I want to tell you, that the RBM2, even with low memory, can simply run the Water liveWP without a hassle - this, on G1 CM6 would not run. Just forceclose */
[Android] haunter1982:
So i think i have to disappoint you. My wife has an T-Mobile Pulse (8220) wich is the same as the 8320 only the cases are different. It's true that it can Display the LWP better than the G1, but if you take a look at MoDaCo-Forums you can see there is a BIG problem in multitasking on these phones and i can asure this is true.

I have therefore thougt about the other way round and take the Cyano5/6 and make it possible to flash on the Huawai.

The LWP uses the grafics unit and perhaps the Huawai has a stronger unit. So LWP wouldn't be the proof of a better usability.

But if you are able to use a G1 Kernel as base for the Huawai System it would be better, because the Huawai-Kernel cant handle Swap, Compcache and as far as i know no multitouch!

Im not in this hole porting thing, deep enough to know how deep the dependancy between the kernel and frameworks and also the APK's are.

But for me it would make no sense to port this System on the G1.
[Android] fonix232:
By hardware, they are the same. But RedBull modified Android a lot (they even have an own framework on it) and added some really cool features. Live Wallpapers have been modified, and made for the system, but won't work on CM6.

That's maybe an upcoming feature, but I don't think a G1 kernel will work on a Huawei model. Maybe if it was open source it would be possible to make a modified kernel with all the stuff you said, but without sources it is hard.

This has a brand new Launcher, with not just left-right direction, but up-down too! That allows us 10 or even 15 separate homescreen!

And do not forget the RB widgets. They are very good looking, and I wan't them ;) But the framework is just too different!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
First of all, this is not a post to seek help in using the volume key. Please do not post how you got into the download mode or recovery.

Hello, in the past week, I and a few others on the forum are having a problem where we are not able to gain access to download mode or recovery by using the volume key. Before anyone start to suggest on what we need to try, let me assure you that we have all searched the forum and tried all the method that had been thrown out there. I am coming to a conclusion that Vibrant release with a date from August will have the volume keys locked. What i like to do is for the people that ARE able to gain access using the volume key please post the date located on the serial sticker on the box. Like wise for the people that are having problem post the date located on the serial sticker on the box. If we end up with mix result, I think we might need to start looking into the serial numbers.

I will go first. Me and my girlfriend's phone are both on 8/13/2010.

edit: two more dates from the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760696&page=2

Edit2: So after much reading and digging through the forums here and else where, I'm going to conclude that any vibrant after August will have the vol. keys locked from download mode and recovery mod. Only way to get into those two modes will be from ADB. This will really put a limit on flashing roms and trying new firmwares. Hopefully this is a firmware issue/lock. That will make this a really easy fix or else time to trade phone on craigs list... lol.

Got my first one Aug 14th and replacement one Aug 21st. Both could get to recovery / download mode with keys. Although neither had same combination. My current one gets into download mode by Holding Vol Down + Power + Plug In USB while holding this.

Recovery is No USB hold down and power.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ytn82:
I have the same problem. I have done all the combinations and couldnt get into the download mode.

I tried to root the device by using one click root program and I saw the black page (download/reset page I guess?) and I didnt know I should select apply sdcard:update.zip so I select reboot system now option and the phone rebooted itself than opened normally without being rooted.

I can see the update.zip in the phone but it is not rooted I guess because the titanium backup program doesnt work (it keeps saying the phone is not rooted)

I tried to root the phone, unroot the phone by using the buttons in the program from xp, but nothing worked.

The box is at home so I will check the date of it later..

Is ADB safe? I dont know much of programming but is it some kind of controlling the phone by using cmd from the computer?

I hope this issue will resolve soon..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
I got my vibrant on the 17th, I believe, and am able to get into recovery mode with the volume keys. It might be from one of the July builds though, since the store I went to had just run out that day and had to go to another store to pick it up. I'll have to confirm the date once I get lunch break and can go home.

[edit]i finally checked the date on the box and it's a 7/6 model [/edit]

It's safe if you know what you're doing, or follow the guides on here. I found it pretty easy to get the hang of once I played around with it a little and following what people said about it on here

Hello everyone,

This is my first posting on XDA developers thought i've been following the community for quite some time as its helped me with a lot of my other phones in the past.

Eclair is probably going to be the last major release for the Experia 10 family. Froyo was originally being considered to be released in August but unfortunately change of management that occurred several times last year and this year kept changing, ending and starting new project all over the place at SE.

Eclair has been ready for some time to be released and the past few months has been a constant battle to get people to agree to release Froyo instead of Eclair.

Long story short, Froyo is a no go and Eclair is what is being released. It is currently being pushed out to the various operators for branding.

Furthermore, future Android releases will be customized for future phones and not the X10i, X10 mini/pro
[XPERIA X10 General] Daniel_GB:
these days it is so easy to say something with out proof!!
[XPERIA X10 General] SELeak:
If you believe it or not that is your own choice. I'm not making claims that SE will release anything any time soon. Rather im saying that they wont!

Which is the major difference here. The fact that I posted on here today is because I got fed up of everything that is going on in the office.

Its not that 2.2 cant be released its that they just simply wont release it.
[XPERIA X10 General] mayamo:

[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Skepticism aside, the argument as presented here makes sense. Hopefully it's a mistake or troll but anyone who's seen corporate politics up close will be all too familiar with events like these.

So if true: Thanks for the information. If it's not: Eff off you trolling low-life. ;)

If things turn out this way it's an even bigger reason to crack the bootloader or for SE to release a warranty-voiding unlocked loader. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] SELeak:
Well,

Seeing as I work at SE on the SE DEV team in Sweden I would like to think that the information I have is fresh off the press so to say.

The information you have with regards to 2.2 being released in Q4 maybe Q1 was the original plan yes.

But you enjoy that update when it comes out FreeKill.
[XPERIA X10 General] SELeak:
Thanks ddewbofh,

I didn't expect people to be so offensive in their response when information is being given and not about an amazing even rather about an upsetting set of news.

I have more confidence in Cyanogenmod will be available to x10i rather than an official Froyo release.

In principle, you should be able to flash Froyo that is provided by google directly. There are 2 major things stopping you from doing that.

1. The phones that the public has are flagged as "Red" for retail phones and the dev phones are flagged as brown... please don't ask why those colors.

This means that even if I were to get a phone from one of the stores take it back into the office and try to flash it with our own tools then it wont work.

2. The modem software that is provided by the general release from Google does not work on the x10i phones.

However, once the bootloader is cracked you can always grab the modem package from a dump and included to the general release.
[XPERIA X10 General] asterix005:
so, do you have a access to engineering bootloader?
[XPERIA X10 General] JamesBarnes:
Well, needless to say if you were to leak a copy of your tools we could get it working given a little time ;)

Just out of interest you say "flagged" is that a software or hardware flag?
[XPERIA X10 General] MarylandCookie:
So since its already ready so to speak...

Im sure a copy leaked underground wont hurt anyone ... ;)

edit:

I know about the colours... dont you have a tool to change the certificates from retail to dev?

Also there must be a modem tool out there that you know of that could possible work... ;)
