Me too. I want so stay with JM6 untill the official i meen THE OFFICIAL froyo. Even if will apear in 2 years..... Probably.... Meenwile i will change my phone. :))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] y_n_t:
Tell me something. With JM6 the market works ok? You can download?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montoya_85:
Yes. Works fine. I find troubles at the JM1 ( the update) with the market. The download starts but never finish. Just calculate....

I just want my JM6 again on my SGS.

Just nobody have a solution for my problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] y_n_t:
Sorry but i don't understand what is your problem. You have now JM6 and the market works ok? or want back jm6 with a functional market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
There's a thread in this forum about how to succesfully downgrade from the JPC to JM7. I suspect the same concepts will get you back to JM6.

I won't search the link for you, but it's been floating here in the first few pages of the forum the last week or so if you look a little bit.

Good luck.

Market is bound to your Gmail.

After flashing, try to create/add a new Gmail, and tell us if your phone starts downloading these apps ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] y_n_t:
I've done already this. Create a new account > JM7 installed > restore to factory reset > log in to the new account > download 1-2 apps. and then stuck:(.

I suggest you pick a rom from here you like (I suggest DocRambone's Eclair http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723103) backup with titanium then use Odin to repartition your device to the 512 pit, install the base image then install the rom, you shouldn't have any problems.

I had flashed JPC via Kies and had no problems switching back to DDJG4 via Odin.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadayada01:
I have this problem that my galaxy s won't always connect back to the 3g network when it becomes available again.

Right now I have to go into settings and there search for available networks and click on the right one and connect to it.

Shouldnt there be an app somewhere or script that could do this from from the desktop, by widget or icon, to force-connect to the network with id '24005' ?

No problem if it requires root, but do you guys know if this is possible at all?

[G1 General] ricky326123:
I've been having a lot of problems recently (regardless of what ROM is installed).

Firstly, sometimes the touch screen would not work, rebooting/reflashing doesn't fix it. It will just randomly start working again.

Secondly, just now the SD card reader has stopped working completely. I have tried 5 cards and the G1 still refusing to acknowledge it, all cards work on my PC.

Now I've been able to deal with these issues until now, since I want to flash a rom however the slot won't work.

Also, I have read this thread > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=707051

Does anyone think this problem is fixable ?

EDIT: probably worth noting, that logcat doesn't run

/ # logcat

logcat

/sbin/sh: logcat: not found

Also EDIT: I put DREAMING.nbh on the SD card to see if the bootloader can see it, unfortunatly it cannot even see the SD card here.
[G1 General] ricky326123:
Bumping for help

It seems that the SD card is being sort of detected in the phone, running dmesg shows that the phone can see it.

Ok how about a different approch,

Is there anyway I can restore the phone to factory firmware without a working SD card slot?
[Android Software Development] chikenkilr:
Hi Everybody,

I'm quite a new android developer (but not a begineer in software development), and I'm developing a simple application using the front camera (it is basically a mirror application :D). My application is available in the market under the following name: MagicMirror-Lite

As the second camera seems not to be a standard in the android sdk, I need to find how to use the front camera for each device.

I already find how to use samsung galaxy S and sprint devices but I need now to know how to access to the front camera on the dell streak.

Does anyone can help me on this?

Many thanks in advance,

cheers.
[Android Software Development] Synman:
would you be willing to share how you got to the second camera? I'm coming up empty and have an i-mobile i858 with a second camera but no way beyond its built in camera.apk to get to it.

The android camera api is worthless here.
[Captivate General] novajustin:
just rooted my buddies epic, which was definitely not as smooth as the captivate, and got to play around with it for a bit. i have to say, not impressed. feels like a big bulky clunker. not as refined as the captivate and is really a pain in the ass to root. tinkering with the epic made me appreciate my captivate that much more.

anyways just my short story of the day..
[Captivate General] RootPhisher:
Thanks for sharing.
[Captivate General] tytdfn:
Can you give an example of how the phone was not smooth plz. Everyone else says that its smoother stock than the captivate

Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
[Captivate General] novajustin:
the process to root the phone is what i was referring to as not as smooth as our phones. there is a "one click" root for the epic but it took multiple tries to get the

1 click program to even see the phone and then once it saw the phone it was another issue to get the root over to the phone. not an easy update.zip like our phones.

the speed of the phone felt the same as the captivate stock vs. stock. once the dev's get a good root package down for the epic it will be better.

one other thing i didn't like about the epic is that there is no way to change what shortcuts you have running in the touchwiz tray. its the little things i guess.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Even after:

Applications -> [Menu] -> View Type -> Customizable Grid -> [Menu] -> Edit

You still can't move applications around? That's trippy. lol
[Captivate General] novajustin:
nope, you dont even have that option. when you press menu in the app drawer you get the choice to list or grid. i am thinking it has something to do with the keyboard? i dont know.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
How heavy is it? The moment was one heavy phone. I mean HEAVY.
[Captivate General] novajustin:
it is noticeably heavier than my captivate with the body glove case on it. also the battery cover that it uses is SO cheap. its one piece of very thin plastic that clips on to the back with some really weak clips. i pulled the cover off of his phone with my non existent fingernails with great ease.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
EPIC is stuck with an older version of TouchWiz 2.5 and lacks quite a few features TW 3 has on Captivate. The reason is because of the required landscape support for home screen when keyboard slids out.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Why not bake in landscape support on 3.0? Is it that radically different?
[Captivate General] Dareoth:
Well uh, I love my Captivate, but lets face it, Samsung hasn't exactly gone the extra mile on these phones.

That's how they get released with things like GPS issues or the lag troubles, etc. (Or the slower 2.2 upgrades.) Could Samsung have built in landscape on 3.0 and make it work with a not unreasonable amount of effort? Absolutely. Did they have to move units? Obviously not. So did they? Nope.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
EPIC is the first slider in Galaxy S line. Samsung could wait 6 more months (or even more) to add landscape support in TW 3.0 or release the phone now and sell millions. It's a no brainer.

HTC spent couple years try to make landscape mode work perfectly for TF3D/Sense home screen on WM.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
While that may be true, it didn't take them years to release landscape mode in subsequent releases. If Samsung has figured out landscape in a previous version, I find it a little hard to believe it would have been more than a couple weeks to port it over.

Its not like Samsung's QC is super high. If they ported it and FUBAR'd yet another thing its not like many people would have been surprised.

Then again, im not a programmer, so maybe my POV is unrealistic and skewed.

Can you please post this in the q n a section. This is the development part of the forum not the oh crap I need help. I would try using Odin to revert back to stock. You will need the right drivers on your computer, Odin, and the stock files for Odin. This can all be found in this forum.

[Vibrant General] Novek:
Flashing just to stock 2.1 won't help you, unless maybe if you check for re-partitioning your phone.

What helped for me in the exact same situation was following the guide to stock the froyo that doesn't brick (you'll find it easy). Then you can downgrade to stock. Both with Odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXer0:
Hey everyone! Hopefully I will go to the at&t store to pick up my Captivate tomorrow. However, I have a problem.

You see, my family has 5 members who have phone line, 2 of which have data plans. My father has a data plan and is content with his iphone 3gs and is eligible for an upgrade. So, he plans to pay $250 for a new Samsung Captivate that will SUPPOSEDLY be for him and his line. However, he is going to give it to me instead, and I don't have a data plan.

Is there any way I could unlock my phone in the sense that I can use it without a data plan? Like can I have 3g turned off 24/7? I plan to get my phone rooted, does rooting automatically do this/allow me to do this?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
No as soon as you put an AT&T Sim in it it will register on their network and a data plan will be added...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrigan:
Sadly AT&T requires smartphones to have Data plans. You're not going to have any choice. Hopefully your old man won't notice, eh? ;)

$250?!? How long has he had the contract with them? I picked mine up for $99.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXer0:
For a little less than a year, he didn't wait out his whole 2 years lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labbu63:
well thats not possible if you have att but if you pay like 250 more and buy a vibrant off contract and unlock then you only pay 10 dollars for unlimited data
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaidheil:
You can have AT&T put a data block on your phone, but that blocks mms also. Then the system wont put you on a data plan. btw data block is free to do, we know how they like to charge for most of there features.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
You better research this - AT&T won't put a datablock on a smarthphone that requires data. Phones transmit their IMEI numbers when on the network - AT&T will see it is a Captivate and force a data plan on the customer.

If you bought it off contract, you may have a chance, but if you buy it via the subsidized contract price you need to play by their rules.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labbu63:
no even if u buy the captivate off contract you still have to pay for data but if you buy a vibrant off contract unlock it then its up to you whether or not you want a data plan
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydrocharged:
If you have a GoPhone sim card in it, they won't charge you for data. I have a GoPhone sim in mine and I've never been required to purchase data for it. I'm not sure about monthly bills though...they may require data on those.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:
i spoke with them about this yesterday, as i wanted to open a 3rd line w my old blackjack, and they told me that it would HAVE to have the min 15$ data plan on the phone, no way around it.

smartphone = smartphone plan. thats just how it is now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokedoke:
It's odd, I've had mine for about a week now, and I still don't have a data plan. Hasn't been added, I've checked data usage, it says "information not available"...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
LOL! dude! I am also in the same boat. I had a data block put on my line about a year ago. I bought my captivate one week ago and no data plan yet. Its not on my bill and I can't connect.

I really have no need of a data plan. Everywhere I go, there is WiFi available.

I am loving it so far, lets hope they dont get wise to it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokedoke:
Indeed...but I was kinda looking forward to a data plan... living in the city = real time traffic updates are pure bliss. But I suppose the areas with traffic are areas with wifi anyway...haha.

What differs from yours is that my block started when I got the phone. You'd think somebody would catch on...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysj:
For some reason they allowed me to use the unlimited family data plan (non-smartphone) for my Tilt2 in the beginning of the year even though it clearly showed in my account that I was using a Tilt2 (bought off eBay).

Can those of you that notice screen freezes check your available memory at the time of the freeze. Im noticing that my build works perfectly until I get under 190mb available and it get progressively worse with the more memory in use. At around 100mb I start getting long wake times.

I have also removed three screens of icons and widgets to stop items from reloading after I kill the app. I have also reenabled my gsensor and auto-rotate (I had used gscript to disable it). Again as long as my memory stays above 200mb the system is GREAT, even with the gsensor active.

I did not notice any freezes after initial load, but as I started accumulating apps and widgets I think I have hit a choke point with memory.

I hope I am on to something.

Also, Im using TasKiller to kill apps with "Kill on Screen Off" enabled.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
I am interested in seeing what people are experiencing. As I have stopped using task managers and have reverted to allowing android to do its thing. I have also turned of the screen rotation. I do not experience long wakes or screen freeze normally.only when my setcpu power profile falls below 572mhz do wakes become slower.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmmmmm:
I tried to stop using task killers but i cant uninstall TasKiller as mattc has put it into the ROM so if I uninstall it it comes back on reboot. So I figure if he put there, it must be worth using. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
You would think that but I dont think people have an understanding of how android works vs winmo. In winmo Apps run all willynilly and dont shut down when memory is needed.

I will do my best to explain basic over view as i saw it

Your home screen is always in memory as it is considered a frontend app.

When you open a app it keeps the home screen in memory.

Now say this app is gmail. gmail opens and you open a link that opens a web browser. Now Say you decide to open a game but you have no more memory.

Android decides which app can be killed to make room for the new app.

since gmail was opened prior to the browser it is considered the oldest.

Android creates a saved state as you will. But only of the position in which you were at in gmail. It can then auto populate that info at a later time.

Then once you are done with the game If you press back it will bring up the web browser. If you press back again it will access that gmail saved state to bring you back to that point in the app killing off the game as its un-needed.

this link is more info. they can explain it better than i could

When i was looking for a new phone i was set on getting the evo 4g, until i saw the epic of course. BUT as i was looking at things for the evo, i noticed there is a lens attachment you can buy for it (macro,fish eye, etc). Deal extreme has one for under $11, and the pics the evo took with it are awesome.

Has anyone tested any macro lenses with the epic? also does anyone know the size (in mm) of the lens, because there is quite a few universal lenses that just need to be the same size to fit. The lens above comes with a magnetic ring that adheres to the case around the lens, that way you can conveniently attach the lens (which is freakin huge compared to the phone) for when your taking pics.

i cant hyperlink since im new, so heres how to find what im talking about

lens off of deal extreme

sku.14953-just punch in that sku number in the site search

it is macroaday (.com)

The one from deal xtreme works fine. I bought one for the evo and fits fine on the epic, its a little unstable feeling but it stays on. It does work in that it helps you take super macro shots.
