[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zephymobile:
I installed android VaniljEclair RLS11 build to my SD card on my tilt and it was working great, however recently it keeps going into airplane mode and I can't get any reception despite the fact that if i revert back to windows mobile i can get reception to my ATT carrier. Anyone know how to fix this issue? It seems like when i tried to change my caller ID settings from the carrier, it caused this problem. Now i can't even receive or make a call. Please help!!!!

Oh and i keep pressing airplane mode to get out and it keeps activating it again. Dunno wth is going on.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loller90278:
I just had the same problem yesterday. I just rebooted with the same rom and it fixed itself. What Radio are you using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zephymobile:
yeah i did multiple reboots and it didn't help however today randomly its working again. sucks not to have a working phone for a few days.
[XPERIA X10 General] WaiShingLee:
No, this is not about the Android 2.1 update.

I was just playing around with the phone and I pressed Software update under settings. It told me that updated software was available and it was 2.46 MB. I downloaded the update and the handset restarted to install. After it completed, it said "Could not install update".

I'm running a Hong Kong Customised on a R2BA024 build. Any idea what this is supposed to be? Seems a bit too small for B2BA026? Perhaps an app?
[XPERIA X10 General] lawless_benji:
Afraid it is the 026 update. I thought the same thing a while back when I updated to 026.
[XPERIA X10 General] WaiShingLee:
Thank you.
[XPERIA X10 General] lawless_benji:
Your welcome. Not sure why you got the could not install update message though. Perhaps its to do with having the Hong Kong hardware. You should check that your gonna be able to update to 2.1 when it arrives. I have a collegue who is using a HTC hero who has a similar issue (Korean hardware) and has found that he can't update to 2.1 and is still stuck on 1.5!
[XPERIA X10 General] ivansee:
Yes, I have a Hong Kong 024, and after installing the 2.46mb update, I got 026 firmware.

However, I'm finding that there's an issue with wifi. When my X10 is out of cell reception , (but with valid wifi reception), now with 026 firmware, the network just not work. It seems like when the cell reception is off, it also cut off wifi connection regardless of the actual connection status.
[XPERIA X10 General] WaiShingLee:
Oh yeah. That seems to be a known issue. Completely forgot about that. I think I'll hold off on the update for now.

Is it possible to use my PC internet connection via USB on my SGS? If it is how can I use it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Short answer. No
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
it's possible but requires a 3rd party paid app....

so i'll rather stick to wifi :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keno_ro:
I think you go it the wrong way...

Almi88 needs an application to take internet from the computer to use it on the phone because he doesn't have a wireless connection available.

I looked into this for ages as i missed it from winmo activesync days. And no you can't do it. There's some ways but at end of day its complex as u need to set up proxy servers and bunch of other stuff. That's by i said in short no.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes then WiFi is a lot easier
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bkcarroll1:
Does anyone know the largest microsd card that the t-mobile touchpro will take.I have seen post saying 16bg and some saying 32gb.Also does anyone know anything about the generic microsd cards on ebay there really cheep I want to know if there any good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
Be careful with buying SD cards on eBay. Unless its a reputable seller, you have no way of knowing if its a counterfeit card until you receive it. They will sometimes sell cards that claim a certain capacity, and even indicate the same GB when you insert it in your phone or PC, but then it will not actually hold that amount of data when you try to transfer files. For instance, it will be sold as a 16 GB, but actually a 8 GB card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] 3waygeek:
I don't know about the T-Mobile unit, but the Tilt 2 takes the SanDisk 32gb without issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
EVERY 32GB microSD sold on eBay is fake UNLESS retail Sandisk which NEVER sells below $100 currently.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] charleswesde:
I'm using a 32gb card right now in my TMo TP2 without issue. As for micro sds on EBay, be carefull. Most all outside the states are fradulent even if they have high feedback thats good. If theyre selling micro sds someone before you has bought one, read thier feedback and see what they thought, be suspicious if there have been 100 "sold" but no one has left feeback or the feedback is blocked. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. Although I did buy mine on Ebay for 25 shipped and got in a matter of days so thats not always the case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ghillis:
There are limits, and then there are practical limits

32 GB is the limit for SDHC. As of today, you may want to stay with 16 GB since none of the 32 GB cards are very fast since they just came out. You can get a 16 GB that is class 6 which can run most applications without a perceptible speed penalty versus built-in RAM. if you are using the RAM for storing media the slower, bigger card would work fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
Class ratings for SD cards can be misleading, either intentionally inflated for sales appeal or conservatively rated as some top brands choose.

The Sandisk 32GB SD is rated just Class 2, but FAR exceeds those specs in actual usage. I run every program possible from SD along with Android 2.2 entirely on SD. Speed is very, very good.

So good that slowdowns are the last factor to suspect with good Class 2 SD's.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] 3waygeek:
Avoid the cheap eBay 32 GB cards; they are fakes. Expect to pay between $100 and $150 for the genuine SanDisk card. I bought two a couple months back from a reputable dealer. I use one in my Tilt 2 and the other holds MP3s that I play on my car's sound system using a cheapo mini USB reader I picked up at Fry's.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
SD card Class ratings refer to write speed only, not read speed. You will see this impact the most when copying big files to the card. Similar to what you mention, I've seen a couple customer reviews of the Sandisk cards on Newegg, and it seems some of them do seem to far exceed the write speed Class 2 rating.

I've recently updated to a Sandisk Class 2, 16 GB card. In a completely unscientific test (just transfer a decent sized file, timed how long it took; repeated with a couple different files), the write speeds seem pretty in-line with the Class 2 ratings. No issues at all playing music and video from the card.

I'm guessing that similar to MHz ratings for computer CPU chips, the manufacture of SD cards is not an exact science. So no two cards (even from the same batch) will have the exact same performance. They each have just get tested and tossed into different categories, depending on whether they meet the requirements for the "higher" ratings or not. Unluckily, it seems that the one I got does not far exceed the Class 2 ratings as some have experienced.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
Was your Sandisk 16GB sealed, retail blister packaging or cheaper "bulk" without any packaging what-so-ever? I deeply mistrust "bulk" sales of flash media being either secondary rejects or after-hours runs of unofficial materials. This isn't paranoia but was factually proven by researched acid bath take-aparts of rouge samples. Every single one was made of off-spec materials. Sandisk is THE biggest knock-off brand on the planet.

My ATTO's benchmarks on two real Sandisk 16GB class 2 and one Sandisk 32GB class 2 gave virtually identical throughput curves reads and writes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
Mine was retail blister packed, and purchased from Newegg, so I very much trust it to be the genuine article.

As I said, it was a very casual test. Can you refer me to an application to do some more accurate testing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
Freeware ATTO benchmarks very thoroughly and shows where performance sweet spots are (larger files both read and write).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
Nice, I'll have to check it out.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
Run ATTO on your Sandisk 16GB and post results. It'll be interesting to see how similar and if they are, how the "feel" of speed compares.

I've got Transcend microSD 8GB class 6 and even though ATTO graphs slightly better results, I could never tell difference in use, including copying large video files to card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
Interesting, my benchmark results look nothing like yours.

ATTO shows your card hitting 13 MB/s write speed, where mine are around 4 MB/s? Am I looking at this correctly? It seems your card hits Class 12 (if there were such a thing) specs for some file sizes!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
Looks like the microSD reader used is limitation bottle-neck. I've found the Sandisk microSD USB reader okay, but Transcend SD USB reader with microSD

adapter fastest "pipe." SDHC card readers from 1st generations could be dreadfully slow. Also, you want the computer running the test in absolutely "idle" state with nothing else running using up CPU cycles for reliable results.

Also, for benchmarking tests use direct USB port to computer, not from hub or with other USB devices mounted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
For the benchmark, I used a local Japanese brand "Elecom" SD (not MicroSD) to USB card reader (purchased a couple years ago on a business trip), plus a Sandisk SD to Micro SD card adapter (adapter probably 3 years old). So its possible one of those links in the chain is a bottleneck.

I don't have another card reader handy. When I have time I'm going to try to connect the phone via USB (in Disk Drive mode) and see how the benchmark turns out. You know off hand if this will bottleneck the test also?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
Redpoint,

Don't know about file transfer speed mounted as mass drive, although I doubt it will run at full I/O card potential.

The Sandisk microSD USB reader can be found on eBay for a few dollars, it's very handy to have.

Definitely sounds like your current readers have the bottle-neck issue all older SDHC readers had compared to latest models.

Also, the microSD>SDHC adapters are just pin-outs without circuitry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
Here's a good program for testing SD cards for capability and authenticity. I recently bought a bogus 32gb micro-SDHC Sandisk card off eBay and this little program confirmed it. No worries, eBay deleted the seller and refunded my money. beware of buying any brand of mem cards off eBay. The place is littered with counterfeits.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
The Verizon branded Sandisk 32GB microSD in sealed blister pack is sure bet for authenticity and at decent prices around $100. ALL 32GB microSD cards selling far lower than $100 are FAKES. Demand has dropped real Sandisk's from $200 at launch to $100 range. Lower prices than that will take awhile to settle in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Hey guys,

Seems that I've run into a snag here trying to put Allshare back on my phone. I grabbed the .apk from /system/app and have tried to reinstall it using multiple methods. I've tried installing it from the phone (I changed my settings.db file to allow sideloading), I've tried sideloading using the Sideload Wonder Machine on Windows, I've tried installing it through the adb shell using the Windows command prompt and using Connectbot on my phone, and I've tried installing it through DroidExplorer on Windows. All of these methods fail, and I can't figure out why. TitaniumBackup backed up only the data portion of the app, but not the actual app itself.

I would have never figured out any of this had I not gotten bored and tried to set up a Media server for the house.

So, does anyone have any suggestions as to why it keeps failing and how I can get it back, other then flashing back to the stock JF6 rom...

if you have a case for the phone, make sure the camera 1st step button is not depressed. The 1st stop for the camera button is extremely easy to press down, and many new cases will do this (happened to me and took me ages to figure it out)....hope that helps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] abc321:
My Sprint Touch Pro2 running the stock WM 6.5 ROM suddenly started having an issue with the start menu. The text under the program icons seem to have become smaller. More importantly, when I slide open the keyboard, the icons still appear in 3 columns. Before, when I slide open the keyboard, the icons would expand and fill the width of the screen. This has been annoying me! Does anyone know where the setting is to fix this or a registry tweak?

I was messing with the registry settings for the HTC audiomanager (I cannot get rid of ringtones in the HTC sense library, and still can't!), so I may have changed some registry setting, but I am pretty sure I did not.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Marquinho:
Does anyone know a solution for this?

I have the same problem. I didn't change anything in the registry but suddenly the font in the start menu is smaller and the start menu doesn't change when I slide open the keyboard.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensi_:
I have read a load of threads relating to the battery life, but this is slightly different. I'm on jm1 official and have been for weeks, its was fine until a day ago, now I'm sitting at work, watching the battery percentage go down everytime i look at it, I'm now talking about now when I'm using 3g, just when phones idle.

I went to sleep last night and unplugged phone before I did, fully charged. Woke up and it was on 94%....

Really my question is, is there any way to find out what's using all my battery apart from the built in function which seems to only refresh every hour! I'm not looking for juice defender or such apps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alovell83:
Spare parts can give you, sometimes, some rough approximations. Really, if you started experiencing issues one day, you should try to remember what you downloaded most recently, it might be poorly coded and you should look to replace it with competing software.

Also, there are somethings you wouldn't want to intentionally or unintentionally leave running in the background. Use task manager (not ATK cuz it doesn't track "running" processes very well unless they've updated) to find out if anything is running. Even the marketplace will run in the background and not let your phone properly sleep.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alovell83:
Also, 6 percent seems about right. 2% for all services and 3g off, 6% for 3g? I'll have to look into it when I'm not on my phone. Especially if you dress your batteries by running them down to 0s%, this is bad to do to li-on batteries, I don't know how long it takes to feel the effects but short cycles are better for the batteries health.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensi_:
Ok, 3g is never on at my house I can't get it there anyway.

The only reason I run it down to 0% is because I'm using my phone and it doesn't last, its stupid to say use it in low cycles because then I'm really only getting 20% battery life anyway...

I have advanced task manager but don't really use it from what ive read I shouldn't have to. And I had thought about the recent apps I've installed and I have installed nothing much new apart from angry birds

Just not happy with the noticeable change in the space of a few days.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
ye i know. but funny thing is, it's rather random. with the same settings and nothing changed at all. sometimes overnight, it drops close to none. and some nights, it drops 10%.

i've lost 10% over 4 hours today with no usage (idle) so lol. i'm glad i'm at least getting 2 days worth of usage.

let's hope this famous froyo does something. sometime soon...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
Make sure all applications are dead (ie. use samsung task manager).

Turn off apn (so that you can guarantee no apps are using data).

If you do those two things, I'm sure you won't lose more than 5% overnight.

Personally, if I do that, I don't lose more than 1% overnight.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
maybe it's due to over-flashing and all. de-calibrates the battery or whatever. either way, meh.

i've probably only got this calender widget refreshing itself every 12 hours to update the day's events and my Google account on active sync. maybe some applications screwing up somewhere.

to point out, a fresh flash always gave me no problems with battery draining. (after "re-calibrating")
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
just updated my phone to the TEST firmware JPJG8 which is currently the latest one available thru kies which includes arabic, and have seen no changes from the original firmware the phone came with ( Originally bought from Abu Dhabi with whatever firmware that had the android market not being available )

toying with juice defender for 2-3 days my SGS laged like hell even with the RyanZ lag fix OCLF from the market and it said that i saved 1.5% more juice tho i didnt see any diff with batt, it still drained fast (full charge overnight + extra charge with phone off on my way from home to work and starting @ 100% once leaving my car and ending @ 30-20% in the afternoon about 4-5pm, need to charge a little more if i wanted it to last till 10pm T_T )

deleted it today and thought why not simply use the extended control widgets to disable the connection when the screen was off + switch off the auto sync, like how the program did but manually and amazingly batt life felt like a big nasty battery i felt the diff immediatly.

kept the program juice plotter to see how steep the batt was used to compare the results.

1. keeping my phone on 2g almost all the time except for when i need to browse the net/use msn on phone - i do use facebook/twit and i might be missing the fast notifications but 2g is good with those 2 and battery life sure is extended as i can see.

2. closing the apn when locking the phone and bringing it up when screen is on is a great idea and u can almost instantly tell ur battery life is better

3. keeping screen off as much as possible helped my batt too tho i dont like it but it works.

really noticed a diff in battery usage today so im currently backing up the phone and after a fresh format/restore session will apply root and OCLF and keep you all posted on how long the battery lasts using this method

will test for 2-3 days before reporting again.

Current Battery stat killers are

1.loads of calls

2.display due to a large amount of sms's

see you again after my test in a couple of days

I don't think jg8's a test though unless it's a new rev by kies. used it a month back, pretty awesome but I've switched.

heading to bed now, shall see what happens tonight! such adventure and excitement every night.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
jg8 isn't a new rev, it was out for a while and cant be found without using the ctrl+alt+u+p (and if that = test then its not an official release) at the firmware update in kies, its a middle east version with arabic support.

ok impressions on how things went.......

voice calls = 49% with 1H 13M 23Sec

Display = 35% with 5H 0M 9Sec

Cell standby = 7% with 16H 58M 44Sec

Phone idle = 4% with 11H 58M 34Sec

Android System = 3% with 42M 30Sec on CPU Usage and just 20Sec on CPU foreground

batt did last a full day for me i guess ending @ 6% when i got home

but what use is trying to save the batt life when i hardly use the phone

lets say i browsed the net for a 30min-1hour session, watched a few youtube video's/even downloaded video's for that matter or played a game or 2 for like 30 mins to an hour

ofcourse the display will be the major batt sucker by doing this and i doubt it would last an afternoon if i did so in the morning/noon time

I guess my only solution would be an extra batt or 2 for that matter if i really wanna show-off the phone and enjoy it fully for a full day. But the problem would be charging them all without a phone stand with extra batt charger

Anyways, does the batt last a full day for me , yes it does

am i satisfied doing what i did to make the batt last , N O
