[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarantula78:
HI,

I installed froyo on my galaxy S recently and i was wondering if there is anything out there that lets me view arabic in full (with connected letters etc) right now they are all disconnected and the words are left to right not right ot left. In 2.1 i installed an update.zip in one of the roms and that bought me arabic support is there anything similar i can do for froyo?

Thanks

Strange issue really

i followed the guide available on http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=255138

and my SGS has connected arabic letters and the upgrade was really worth it and smooth as the phone now is a lot more responsive as well

try that guide and contact me after the upgrade, will try my best in finding the solution to this problem

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeInTheGrey:
+1 on this ... especially if you came from a completely different framework, like a Sense rom.

Just a heads up (and this won't make any huge difference, just a small one for future notice), automatic backlight uses the most battery because it is constantly needing to reconfigure the backlight depending on the conditions the phone is seen in. This means that a sensor is constantly active, CPU is processing the change in backlighting, and the screen is (at times) brighter than it needs to be. Setting the backlighting to a pretty low manual setting is sufficient for pretty much any lighting scenario, and will save on battery.

This will probably look redundant to some of you but I had a really hard time locating a working SprintTV apk after installing Fresh.

Even though Geek For Me has the removed Sprint apks for download on his website the SprintTV in that folder did not work for me (I tried multiple times to uninstall- reboot-re-install) It would open but when I clicked on "Live" it would hang on the loading screen and sometimes would give the "try again" error

Anyhow I eventually found a good working copy of the original EVO SprintTV apk and I just wanted to share for all that need it

1st post. Glad to join this forum

Need some asssitance and i can't figure this out. Under "Accounts And Sync" i have added my Gmail account. Sync is on and i refreshed all calendar, contacts, and gmail sync successfully.

When i click on Contacts Display Options, I don't see my gmail contacts to display.

I have Phone, Sim, Facebook..but no gmail?

I don't get it, but when i manage accounts, my gmail account is there and Sync is ON.

Help Please.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papalazarou:
Hi guys,

I have a Desire I bought unlocked on eBay. Though initially thinking it was factory unlocked, and having bought it under that pretense, I now think it's been unlocked by some other means. It doesn't appear to be rooted, having no superuser app but I'm not sure how else it could have been unlocked? If any one can shed some light here, that would be great.

I received the OTA update tonight, and after downloading and resetting it simply wouldn't get past 90% on the install before resetting itself. After about 15 minutes I switched it off and switched it on again, and it booted into my homescreen, with a "loading" alert and a rotating circle, no percentage.

Eventually that stopped, and it looked like everything was ok. I checked the version and it said I was running 2.2. Awesome, so I go about my business and realise I have no 3G or wireless connections. I check the settings and under WiFi it says "error", and I can't enable it. My APN is gone too. I can get that online, but it seems like there's an issue with the radio so I haven't bothered. It doesn't connect to the network anyway. It also resets occasionally, it seems when it has to load SenseUI but I can't confirm this.

What could it be? I'm not sure where the phone came from. It's a Black a8181 model with the Orange case branding, but the OS is unbranded. The locale is English (Singapore/Taiwan/a few others), though I thought the Black model was only in the UK. I'm in Australia, on vodafoneAU.

Is there anything I can do?

Cheers guys, I really hope I haven't (basically) bricked it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Firstly, removing the SIM lock from the phone has nothing to do with rooting. Usually, you just stick in an "incorrect" SIM, and it will ask for an unlock code which you can buy online.

Given that the OTA update was a patch, it sounds to me like you have a partially patched ROM and this is causing your problems.

However, since it basically boots up and works to a fashion, it isn't bricked and chances are it is fairly easily recovered.

IMHO, you have two options.

1. Install a 2.1 RUU to downgrade your phone.

2. Root the phone using UnreEVOked and load a custom 2.2 ROM.

Both of these should be quite easily so long as your previous attempt to upgrade hasn't already updated HBOOT.

Turn you phone off and then power on again whilst holding down the volume down button - your phone should boot into HBOOT.

Look for the HBOOT version on the second line and post back what it says here.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
You've received a branded phone that has been debranded (you should have been told this) - you can't upgrade these without a goldcard. What's happened is part of the upgrade has worked, but other parts failed.

To recover you'll need a goldcard, which will be more difficult to make with the phone rebooting all the time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If the OP can get UnrEVOked running, and doesn't mind having a custom recovery image (good thing!), he/she shouldn't need a goldcard.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
That's true, though it does mean going down the custom ROM route, which might not be wanted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papalazarou:
Thanks guys, that's really good info.

I'm not too concerned about running custom ROMs, I've been thinking about doing it for a while, just don't know enough about how to root and flash. There are some good guides here, I'm just a bit nervous about doing it. I also don't know what the best ROM would be. I'm really just after a factory standard Desire with Sense ROM, the most out of the box it could be.

I assume an RUU is like a rollback? In which case, what would I be rolling back to. I have no idea how it was debranded, so I don't know what ROM I'd need to roll back to.

As for the goldcard, what would that do? Is that rolling back, or fixing what I have now? It doesn't crash too often, I can probably baby it through.

Sorry for the questions guys, just want to know my options. I didn't think it was too badly bricked, but you never know. I bricked my XDA Mini II trying to flash a new ROM, so you can see my hesitation :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
An RUU is an official way to flash the phone with HTC's own software. That is how the phone was debranded in the first place, and you can do the same to get it back to normal. It does require a goldcard though, which is a minor software patch on the sdcard.

If you root and install a custom ROM (and update the radio) you'll have a working phone again, and you can make a goldcard in your own time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papalazarou:
If I go with an RUU, will OTA updates work? That's really the only thing I'd miss about a custom ROM, the convenience of OTA.

Hboot - 0.80.0000
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
You'll get ota updates if you use an ruu. Just make sure you have your goldcard in when you apply them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papalazarou:
Cool, will the process in the link in your sig do the trick? And the goldcard, will I need to keep it in permanently, or only when updating? Trying to decide if I should use a dedicated card for it, or include it on the card I keep in there.

Thanks for the help, I'll run the RUU tomorrow morning.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papalazarou:
I'm trying to run unrevoked to root and reflash it, but it get's to a point and fails, saying "failed to flash recovery image".

Any thoughts?

EDIT:

I've now created a goldcard and am trying the downgrade process in the link in your sig. I've followed all the instructions, but when I ran the downgrade util, after asking for my password, nothing happens.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Yeah, that's my fault for leaving a testing point in the Mac/Linux version of the utility. It was mentioned in the bugs section, but probably not made clear enough. It's fixed now.

they are trying to hack the USB to display HDMI which is currently not supported and not working

then you will also need a cable from ebay to do the conversion from USB to HDMI

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sultan.MA:
Hi , I'm Sultan.

I have 2 devices : Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and Nexus One.

when i open the same application in these 2 devices , like Talking tom

i got that Nexus one screen is more colorful and better.

when u open white pages , you will see SAMOLED is little blue and AMOLED is White.

SAMOLED is changing original colors of any app or video.

is there any solution for this problem. Like changing the colors temp to standard.

I want to fix I9000 :(screen.

it's like when u change the LCD Screen temp of colors to cold.

Thanks , Sultan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stavut:
In my experience the automatic brightness is quite "low" (weak), and when I want to see beautiful colors I usually go in the Display --> Brightness settings and instead of auto I put it at max, then the colors are more vibrant than in any screen I've seen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
SAMOLED at full blast is blinding powerful colour show man, yesterday i was playing around with some system tools and the damn App set the display to MAX i was left almost blinded

the colours were amazing! at full capacity, my 1080p 25" 10000:1 LCD pale compared to the SAMOLED
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
And what happens with battery drain when brightness is set to MAX?

Big impact? Low impact? In the middle?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
I would say that colors that S-AMOLED outputs are way more vivid than AMOLED screens.

PS

Although color temperature is different on the two phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NZtechfreak:
Better colour temperature on the GS compared to Nexus/Desire, some may like the overly saturated look of the latter handsets however...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sultan.MA:
Guys , try to run talking tom app in both GS and Nexus one. And see who has better colors.

(( Is there any way to change colors temperature ? )).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
I think there is via stock video player but don't know if it changes the entire color of the interface.

There could be a difference in running 3D apps, probably in different drawing of textures, I really don't know...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Actually, the Nexus one (and HTC Desire) screen is over-saturated, with a STRONG tendancy to orange/red.

When you open a white screen, it's a dim white.

When watching media/movies, SAMOLED gives a LOT more vivid and true colors.

If anything, the Nexus screen is "changing" the colors of every app.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joshnor713:
Do this:

http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/main.php

Make sure you pick the Froyo version. After you download it, unzip the file to get the apk. Then use Astro to install the apk. Before you can install it, it might make you uninstall your current one, which is easy, it gives you the option to uninstall when you open the apk.

Makisu is the app you're looking for to backup the mail settings. If you're using Energy ROM as the OP is, drop the XML file it creates into the XDA_UC folder on the storage card. If you don't have one, create a folder at \Storage Card\XDA_UC and then drop the XML into the folder. Makisu can be found HERE.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] frozenbutt:

So ive seen handcent all over the fourm and people talking about how great it is. So i downloaded it and i admit its amazing. The only problem ive run into is that when i get a message is shows up in handcent and the stock text program. How do i disable that so my phone only uses handcent?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JermsMalibu:
In the stock messaging app, you need to go into settings (when it's open hit "menu" and then "settings") and turn off the notifications for receiving a message. Back out of it, and you should be good-to-go. I personally turned off all notifications in the stock app.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kipphh:
Much appreciated I though that there might be a way to totally disable the stock program because they will still pile up in there wont they?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JermsMalibu:
Yea, the messages will still be in the stock one. The way I understand it though, all the messages come into/out of a single spot. The messaging programs (Handcent, the stock one, etc.) just look in that area to let you text. So you can just remove the stock one from being linked on one of your home pages, and then you never have to see it again. There might be a way to remove that program itself, but I don't know it. It doesn't bother me though since I just don't ever open it and instead use Handcent.
