maybe maybenot maybe maybenot ..... This isn't getting us somewhere.

So i personally have no clue if it has MT or not, but I CAN imagine that SE had used MT capable Hardware.(But this is just guessing).

And till the day we fully get our own rom runned on X10 we are not able to know!

So the only thing we should concentrate is getting custom roms running. After that is done we can discuss MT again ;)

[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
Coming from a BlackBerry I want my Gmail & Hotmail to push to me instantly. Gmail works as expected, but for Hotmail rather than setup a POP3 account to automatically check mail every so many minutes, thus draining the battery, I decided to set up another Gmail account and let it pull my Hotmail for me:

(Can't post links, Google "Android Central Using Gmail Your Own Personal Push Mail Server")

This should do Gmail push for my Hotmail thus saving battery but more often than not I am NOT notified of new Hotmail unless I push the refresh button, putting me right back at square one with no push and battery drain by refreshing all of the time.

So the question - is Gmail checking Hotmail my best bet or should I try ActiveSync? My understanding is Android's implementation of ActiveSync is a major battery hog being that it is always connected to provide said push services, so I've stayed away from it however my current setup doesn't seem to be terribly optimized. Any suggestions? Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] wyvex:
Hotmail does push now through activesync.

Google it. I cannot post urls.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
Right, my question is how is the Hotmail/ActiveSync push performance and more importantly how does it affect battery life? My understanding is its pretty bad, was hoping someone here has tried it and can tell there experience with it.
[Epic 4G General] tenquillico:
i cannot really confirm it... but since enabling hotmail push for me personally... i cant even make it past 1 day with a full charge.... even a full charge plus a half at work for the remainder of the day barely gets me to 9pm

like i said... i havent confirmed this by turning it off, but quite simply... im blown away by how bad my battery life has become on my galaxy s

SEVEN is a great email app that I'm using that pushes all 4 of my Yahoo, 1 Hotmail, 1 Gmail and 1 AOHell to my phone. It's far better than the stock email app, and I've never tried Moxier Mail that was installed on my Moment before I got the Epic.

Hello all,

I use android on my HD2 for a month now and im very satisfied. I only miss one thing and that is the functionality of calendar and exchange... let me explain.

I want the same as in winmo calendar meaning:

Ability to sync all appointments (now not an option in android exchange settings)

Ability to copy paiste appointments (not possible in touchdown, which im using now)

Ability to set peak times (not possible in android exhange settings)

Ability to work with one agenda and not two (as in google and exchange) so mb an outut function ?

And it will be nice to switch form week to week in day view (as in winmo calendar)

Heck is there an winmo calendar for android ? HAhaha

Does any1 know either an app that does the above, or an app that edits the android exchange setting. Any1???

Thanks !!

Any1 ? I cant believe im the only one with this problem. Is there a solution or doesnt it excist ?
[Android Apps and Games] yocky:
Is there a way of submitting Alt commands via an Android keyboard to my windows PC?

I presently use Air Mouse on an Ipod Touch to control my HTPC remotely.

This is the only use I have for the thing and I'd like to think that there will be the perfect Android solution for me soon.

The benefit of Air Mouse over RemoteDroid and GMote is the Alt key ability which neither of the Android apps have (or if they have I haven't found it yet), a function I find a lot of use for.

(I should add that the only Android device I have at present is an HTC Desire....so I guess that could be the limitation rather than the apps)
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroBarrier:
I don't really understand what you mean by alt key ability. Could you please explain, and maybe we can help sugest a solution?

What is it that this alt key ability of air mouse do, or more importantly, what is it that you want to accomplish with such an alt key ability?
[Android Apps and Games] yocky:
Thanks for the reply, I had a feeling I wasn't being very clear.

I'd like to use my Android device as a trackpad and mouse for my HTPC.

My media player of choice (MPC-HC) uses a lot of keyboard shortcuts with the "Alt" signifier. For example Alt+X closes the program. These shortcuts are especially important because the program runs in a fullscreen mode which removes any context menus.

All the various android soft keyboards I have seen have no Alt key so I would lose a lot of functionality controlling the HTPC from an android device.

I have read that pressing the trackball twice on an HTC Desire may be a substitute for pressing the "Alt" key but have never got this to work in practice.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroBarrier:
Just found an app that might suit your needs. I suggest you check it out.

GRemote Pro

Edit:

Ok, I just tried this app out, and it does exactly what you need.

It comes packed with an app alt, ctrl, tab and del buttons that let you alt+tab among other things.

I didn't see MPC-HC in the server setup, but that's not a problem as you can configure your own profiles with specific commands.

Fair warning, it's a bit on the slow side (seems to be a port of a winmo app), but I'm sure it'll get better with time and updates. It's a very polished Remote app for android and it even comes with drivers for a G-sensor controller to play games with (use android as wii-mote/controller).

This app defenitly rocks.
[Android Apps and Games] yocky:
You sir (or madam) are a legend.

I was disappointed at first to see that this app doesn't simply add Alt and Ctrl keys to the standard keyboard, but it does allow considerable control of the media player directly.

Need to have a much longer play to see if it's really what I need...but I appreciate your effort already.

Hi guys,

I've had my N1 for 2 days and havnt really done much too it. I want to be able to flash CMRC3 eventually so here is what i have done so far . . .

1. 1 click rooted the phone!

2. Installed ROM Manager & Clockwork Mod Recovery..

thats it.

Now, i cant get into my recovery menu, after the nexus logo all i get is a blank screen.

I guess this is to do with the fact that my nexus may have a SLCD panel rather than an AMOLED one.

So does anyone know how i can get my recovery menu back?

TIA!

EDIT: By the way, the phone works fine, I just think its best if i do a backup before i mess any further..

(probably should of done that before rooting :) )

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mam999999:
I checked Recovery mode and Download mode, and thats OK.

But i found information on Internet, and always the same: VOL UP/DOWN + HOME + POWER.

In some sites, somethind about Forced Upload (i've got one time only and i dont remember how it was.

The question: i called to technical support and asked for the way to get into fastboot mode, and the replay was the information is properly for samsung personal.

Then, i was tyred and bored.

Could anybody help me?

NOTE:

I know that download mode is enaugh, but booting directly from a recovery file in PC is good and quick, and flashing the recovery boot only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutoSan:
Hey

Just played around with my Galaxy S and could retrieve the way to get into

Forced upload

I pressed Volume up and home until the black and whie Galaxy S boot Screen came

up and then right away volume up+home+powerbutton at the same time.

Hope it works for you as well and hope I remembered it correct because I am feeling

realy dizzy today paired with headaches :/

Is the forced upload mode same as fastboot? Because I am trying to install an other bootscreen as the

one from samsung is not my thing.

Doesn't this app solve the broken three button recovery problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mam999999:
Thats the thing i referred it. All people with Galaxy S work with REcovery and Download odes.

But anybody knows how the FastBoot Mode works in i9000, and it very important taking a native mode to change the Recovery Boot without flashing with ODIN or Rom Maneger utility (free at the moment).

I understand FAST BOOT is something in relation with android, but ¿is it posible that it need an especial recovery boot, like an intermediate, for passsing throw to FastBoot mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
of course not

when you are bricked, how are you going to run a software on a dead phone? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the phone needs to be rooted for quick boot to work

if you do it via ADB when connected to PC

then you don't need to be rooted
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mam999999:
I explained more better.

If phone is bricked, it doesnt boots.

Then, ADB is worthy. For that reason, only two chioces:

1) FLASH with ODIN, if it posible with download mode

2) Samsung with JTAG ---> money!!!!

2) FastBoot Mode.

That is very important, and thats my interest
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if the phone is bricked

only the 3 button Download Mode will work

JTAG, not many places have it, it's hard to find, the phone is still too new.

Fastboot mode will not work when bricked

ADB will not work when bricked
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
AllGamer, I think you should look up what fastboot actually is/does.

It's a way to flash the phone from a 3button style download mode. The thing is, you can use ADB from windows/Mac/Linux to flash it. (Yes, even when bricked, because you enter it with a different 3button combo)

All HTC Phones have the ability, as well as the Original Samsung Galaxy I7500 and I5700 phones.

People are on here wondering if there's a way to enable the function on the Galaxy S.

Responding in a thread where you have no idea what the topic at hand actually is just makes the thread harder to follow. Please refrain in the future.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mam999999:
Yes, i think FASTBOOT is another backdoor to revover the phone.

And, another advantage:

1) substituting the revovery boot partition (throw native flashing 3button mode) or

2) boot from PC with one recovery image without writing the recovery partion, making diagnostic and everyting like testing news images.

It is very important, and many people will be wondered to know this 3button mode.

Samsung, by call, admited to know the mode, but they dont wanto to say how to get in mode fastboot.

I'll continue to find it.

AllGamer:

How, then, do you overwrite the boot partition? With ADB? Then you need unbricked phone .....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Did samsung actualy make the phone and not just designed it? Ie the sony xperia x1 was a htc made phone but sony design. So maybe that's why u had fastboot in the 7500. Either way i have no idea on samsung phones as i never liked them
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if the so call fastboot is actuall another hardware mode, and not the fastboot from ADB shell, then it'll have to be some sort of buttons to trigger it.

I know people that have posted they got into a Forced Upload mode, is that what you guys mean by fastboot mode?

However only people with the disabled 3 buttons download modes seems to have been able to get into this Forced Upload mode, problem is none of them knows exactly how they got into that mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
It IS fastboot from ADB.

You basically put the phone in fastboot mode (similar to 3 button download mode). You can then flash your phone (with the phone in fastboot mode[not booted into android]) with the fastboot command in the Android SDK Tools folder.

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" would flash a new recovery image to the phone, or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" would flash a new boot image to the phone.

All this can be done by entering a 3button combo to power on the phone directly into fastboot mode. (Android not required to boot, or even be functioning)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i get what you are saying, it's basically like the SPL layer for the phone, where there is no OS involved.

on other phones to enter this mode, usually you require to have the USB cable plugged in, and then hit a combination of Keys.

it'll be interesting if some one can find out how to get into the SPL mode, then we won't have to deal with the disabled 3 button modes phones and still be able to flash an image into the phone.

At least that's how SPL worked on Palm and WM devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Yeah, there was basically 3 different 3 button combo's on my old Galaxy I7500.

Fastboot: Call button >> Power button (bottom right)

Download: Volume Down >> OK >> Power Button

Recovery: Volume Down >> Call button >> Power button

We're lacking the additional hardware button to do it on our phones. I've tried holding both volume buttons and powering on, just boots normal. I've also tried both volume buttons, the home button and powering on. Also just boots normal.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patj3:
just out of curiosity, it might be possible that the forced upload mode is only available if you have the unlockscreen with the dots that you need to connect.

Maybe this mode is used to restore the phone when the user forgets his "combination", at least people can test it if they want, it didn't work for me, but I dind't have the combination lock screen.

Phone is in for repair so I can't test now.

Thanks for the video, Mykron

But how do we invoke if the phone is bricked ? It seems like you have to have the phone on/working before you can get into this mode.

... or is the idea to get into this mode is for the non-working 3 button (download/recovery) phones that are NOT bricked and then flash it with the correct firmware to reenable the 3 button download/recovery?

Yes, unfortunately the phone had to be on. I posted it wrong in my first post. Additionally I have no idea what this mode is useful for. I just wanted to show how to get there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidmarotto:
Hi,

My phone seems to be bricked and now I can only enter this "forced upload mode" with volume/home/power. It seems to enter this mode with most combinations of those 3 keys...and it will enter this mode from a powered off state. Currently, if I power up without volume/home it just hangs on the black and white galaxys screen.

adb won't recognize the device (although I'm trying from a different computer than I'd previously used adb on so i'm not positive the drivers are installed properly)

odin recognizes the phone but hangs when it says "analyzing file" or something similar.

Any suggestions? Maybe adb fastboot would work for me..although kind of doubtful since adb reboot download/recovery don't work? where do I get a recovery img?
