[Fascinate General] magicriggs:
Idk I must be one of the few people that started with the droid X and exchanged it for a fascinate. And so far the switch was worth it . My biggest gripe about the x was the screen resolution was always distorted cause of the screens dimensions. And the phone is so big it did not feel good in the pocket. Also I had my X rooted and running Flyx with tranquility Rom blazing fast. also had the pixel density hack. By far to speed and quality of screen, to me it was completely worth switching. I love my new fascinate phone. Fascinate>X
[Fascinate General] Atst44:
Fascinate issues...

I dont comment often, but I can say I have none of the issues you are mentioning.

-My GPS is fine and I dont have the gps issue that the Droid X has and it always locates me fine.

-Call Quality is worse than the Droid X, I will agree, but I have not dropped a call and it only lasts the first 2-3 seconds of a call. I get none of the reverb people are talking about.

-My screen has never gone black and could not be revived by the power/sleep button.

-My phone is 100% stock, no root or lag fix, and my phone has never lagged more than once or twice for less time than it takes to blink your eye.

I have used a Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, Droid Devour and Droid Eris; This is by far the best one I have used, as I have decent call quality still. If I dropped calls,i would try a different Fascinate or swap phones immediately.

Sorry you are having issues...
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
I've only had the screen not waking up problem with NoLED. After I disable it, the screen wakes fine. I know it was the app, because I found it when I played around with the options to wake the screen - pressing back or home would sometimes wake the screen. Disabling the app made the issue go away for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Ok guys, alot of you have been making various requests on my Galaxy S threads, and I have a huge fork in the road I need to navigate. I have two theme routes to take, and if I take one, then the other must be abandoned without looking back, because there is just so much work involved in either one. I honestly wouldn't mind having someone help me with this, taking the other fork where I take the winning one from this poll. I have all the files you need & instructions, etc. I have a very well organized set up when it comes to these themes, and will make the work process as simple as possible :)

Ok, the two options I am facing revolve around a very minor difference, but impacts two completely different user bases.

First choice, is to make my current themes international, meaning they will have support for azerty, greek, and other languages.

Second choice, is to modify all the current themes I have to work with the voice input version of Swype (2.2.42.xxxxx). I will continue to fulfill requests as best as I can while maintaining a wide variety of usable, manageable, interchangeable (with Swype trail line colors) themes.

I'm not sure what you think, but my vote is on the Second option, mainly because Swype capability coupled with voice input is the perfect keyboard IMHO, but I am asking this because I DO have so much following wanting both, but I can only do one... I am just one guy :)

I am allowing 5 days for this poll, and the answer at the end of it will determine what I work on. So, let the voting begin!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I vote for the second as well. I think that it'd be a more efficient method. The first choice would still be on the table but that can be something in the future.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] guapinoy:
I vote second one also.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] monnietron:
I also vote for the second!

Sent from Monnie's Vibrant.. oops, force close.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
i can see which ones of you voted for what in the poll... that's what it's there for.

lets leave the thread clear of vote choices so a discussion can be had. this might also be a good place for me to find a partner or a few to help me build a huge Swype theme library, and hopefully in the future, implement it in some sort of convenient Android app-type library that we can distribute to the millions and millions and millions of Android users around the world, and possibly make a few bucks while we're at it.

I have been doing this for quite some time in relation to how long Swype has been available for Android users. Once I have established a solid base for Android, I expect to make a leap into other OS versions of the software, and even further extend my reach. I don't see why the most commonly used software on ANY phone shouldn't have the option to use a touch of some of mine or someone else's style with just the click of a button.

:D

edit: unrelated, but I just noticed, I joined the XDA forums within a few days of the Swype official beta's release date for Android... Scary. My initial experiences with XDA were totally ROM and G1 functionality related, but around my 25th post, I started tinkering with Swype. Fate, anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poosty:
Sorry for this basis request - but how do I cut and paste text from a website/doco/email etc etc and paste them between SMS and emails etc?

Have read the manual and tried touch and hold, drag to highlight etc and nothing seems to work

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poosty:
Google search found this:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...+copy+paste+Galaxy+S&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au

But it only applies to copying text from a webpage - nothing about copying from one email/SMS to another??

Surely it must be possible - iPhones can do it dammit
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
I don't see any select text feature on the built in email & gmail app.. but for SMS, there is a "Copy Text" feature and if you want to select a text, forward the message first then "Select Text".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanslick:
cut /paste from other sources, for example a browser , is being added in android 2.2 . thts so far what i know
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitzanj:
I got Froyo on the SGS, so I've no idea what here is new and what was already there on 2.1.

1) Browser - long touch anywhere on the page opens a small box that you can drag to surround what you need, and then you got copy/share/search.

2) SMS - inside a message - menu > 'copy message text'.

3) GMAIL app - inside a mail - Menu > more > select text. You drag to select and it's copied to the clipboard (no share/search/etc, only directly copying to clipboard).

4) A long touch on any input box brings up a select/copy/paste/cut/etc context menu.

I'm still trying to find a way to copy/paste from a gmail chat...
[HD Mini General] brutaled:
I discovered this option within the Menu Connection Settings - it seems you can boost the wifi. Could someone explain why you would really need to do this?

My Wifi seems to connect fine to all access points.
[HD Mini General] ci6i:
The phone needs to communicate with the access-point (AP). If the AP has enough power to communicate with the phone, sometimes the phone needs to increase the power (signal) for keeping alive communication with AP. The communication is bidirectional: AP send packets to phone and phone send packets to AP.

It depends on environmental conditions (walls, distance to AP, ...)
[HD Mini General] brutaled:
Magic! Thanks for explaining ci6i!
[HD Mini General] dickydick1969:
Any reason why some phones don't have that option (GALAXY S for instance).

And the question of course: is there a way to enable that option if you don't have it?
[HD Mini General] emrause:
Galaxy S is an android phone and Samsung!

This is a HTC HDmini section...!!!
[HD Mini General] Cwluc:
Just out of curiosity does this in any effect tethering? I'm assuming it's an HTC option (I have a Inspire/Desire didn't find this on our thread) to increase performance but is the option more tailored for receiving data from the AP only or if the phone is AP would I get a performance gain (range, speed)?
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
Samsung is holding an event tomorrow to show off the media hub and the US galaxy tabs.

However, the question is, will they announce when froyo will be be available?

BTW, the event starts at 6pm EST.

http://gizmodo.com/5640175/the-galaxy-tab-will-be-on-the-death-star-att

Basically, Galaxy Tab is hitting all major US carriers, wifi only version in the works. No news about phones at all.
[Vibrant General] karmasore:
That's too bad. Tab's and another mobile devices are worthless without 3g. You're basically left with a machine that you can only use to it's fullest potential at a Starbucks or at home.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
I'm officially starting to get worried about the froyo update. Samsung has had two major press events in the past two weeks and haven't even mentioned a word about froyo. I'm starting to think only the European/Korean models will get froyo.
[Vibrant General] kponti:
^^I believe Samsung never promised the US phones to have Froyo in sept, just the different forums members did. The Euro Galaxy S is scheduled to get Froyo, NO ONE said the US versions will be getting it in September
[Vibrant General] gunks:
Dude, Samsung and TMO have both said that we're getting Froyo... chill the hell out.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
Why did you guys think this press release would be about their phones? Of course, you were probably thinking they would mention it somewhere in the press, but in actuality it was mostly about their Tab.

Go to this link: http://phandroid.com/2010/08/31/samsung-mobile-experience-event-september-16th-whats-being-shown/

And read what it said. "Latest Android device and media hub."

Just saying. That's all.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
I think there are already two going in this forum. Might as well jump on one that has numbers. Search, they're on here some where.
[Vibrant General] guardian855:
They said BOTH 3g and wifi-only versions will be available.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Couldn't we just tether our phone and the tab? With mobile ap or any other tethering app? I would think if it doesn't work that way there would be an app or hack that could make it possible...
[Vibrant General] spigatelli:
You know that they will not ALL be wifi only, right? There will be a 3G version for all of the big 4.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Yes, I am aware of that. I was giving a solution to the person I quoted. Not to mention that engadget is reporting that the 3g versions will most likely be sold on contract, possibly meaning you may need a data plan. I'm suggesting (if it is possible), wait, let the reviews from actual 3g users come in, and then by the wifi tab cheaper and off contract...
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
there isn't any huge advantages that 2.2 has over 2.1 anyway... what we need is an official firmware update for the GPS...

[Vibrant General] sroach23:
just in time compilation. makes android fly.
[Vibrant General] DreamcastDC:
Froyo has a huge advantage over 2.1:

Apps2SD

Performance of the browser has been enhanced using the V8 engine, which enables faster loading of JavaScript-heavy pages.

Dalvik Performance Boost: 2x-5x performance speedup for CPU-heavy code over Android 2.1 with Dalvik JIT.

The graph to the right shows the performance speedup from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 using various benchmark tests. For example, LinPack is now more than 5 times faster.

Kernel Memory Management Boost: Improved memory reclaim by up to 20x, which results in faster app switching and smoother performance on memory-constrained devices.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:

[Vibrant General] shiboboo:
My thoughts exactly. Why would I pay more when I don't have to in order to receive the same service?
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
i'm surprised they didn't let us know when our devices will get updates to be able to actually use the media hub. I know the epic 4g got an update recently to enable the media hub, but what about the other galaxy s phones?
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
The Samsung Tab is a loser, really.

It's expensive for what it is, particularly compared to the iPad. The screen is a TFT (not IPS like the iPad, and not Super AMOLED like the Galaxy S). And it's a 7", which means that it competes with all the cheap Chinese tablets.

Plus, even though they sell it with 3G, in the US the carriers won and there will be no voice capability.
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
Have you used Froyo Apps2SD? It's a mess. Slow. Apps need to code in support. Apps get disabled by plugging in the USB, meaning you need to carefully consider what you move over. 3rd party Apps2SD is much more mature these days, if they would have only built in a simple partitioning wizard.

I'll give you the rest -- we should see a performance boost on Froyo, especially if they do something about RFS.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ereotav:
So I have been lurking for a few weeks and I have a HTC Hero that I want to root. But my question is what is the difference between rooting with UnrEVOked and rooting the way that this thread says xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

IS the difference just the difficult of the root?

And is unrevoked really just one click I haven't found much good info about it.

Thank you so much!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
The thread you posted uses the unrevoked method. essentially read a little and what ever you feel is the easiest to understand then do that one.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ereotav:
oh ok. It didnt seem like the thread was the unrevoked method becasue theres are so many steps and unrevoked says its one click. Thats why i was confused.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouL Shadow:
I've fully rooted my own HTC evo and now I'm looking to root my mom's hero. My question though, is there any downside or limitations to rooting with these methods? Mainly, is this a full root or will that require additional steps?

-SLS-
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
No limitations, its more steps than the one click method but if you follow the directions it never fails, you run no risk of messing your phone up ( atleast I can't see how) ... any ways the unrevoked method has all the steps to get you rooted and will also help your understand the process and what root actually is.

But root is root doesn't matter how you do it they all lead to the same thing ... full control over your phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouL Shadow:
Ok, so with just one if those two methods the phone will be fully rooted to flash roms, kernels, custom recoveries, radios, and make nand backups? Can you remount and write to /system from within android? I fully understand rooting, just wasn't sure if any further steps were needed on the Hero. With the Evo it was a little more work to obtain full root.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] ilikepu:
there was a thread that it worked. do you have root access

Edit

http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

this is the apk you need if you have root
[EVO 4G General] AngelofChaos:
I'm running the stock rooted froyo update 3.28.651.1 with the latest WiFi tether (pre-9) and its working fine. Just root your phone and download the source code from Google. Don't download the earlier packages as well as the one in the market, because they don't appear to work.

For the wired tethering option:

If you connect it to your computer via USB, there is an option under the "Connect to PC" sub menu that will put your phone into USB tethering mode, or you can go to the "Wireless and Networks" sub menu and check it from the box at the very bottom under mobile network.

[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
We don't have kernel source, so we don't have a working recovery yet. A working recovery is the first major step towards real development.

Things are being worked on in the background, but until we can flash roms there isn't much point in posting everything.

Have you filed a source code request with Samsung? :)
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
I believe once Samsung releases the kernel source, we will start seeing a lot more process. Believe me I too am used to a strong dev community with my Droid and also visited the xda nexus section on s daily basis.

I got this phone because the hardware is pretty much the best all around from any phone out right now, just the software is the only thing bringing it down at the moment. Once we get some stock android and kernels that better utilize the hardware, we should be ahead of anything out right now.

which has a red tinted version in it. It looks really nice, but it doesn't match the theme that I am using on my phone which is mostly black and blue. I saw the keyboard tinted with blue on a different phone section (Nexus One) on XDA. Here is the link that had the blue version in it.

I have heard that you can't pull a version of a keyboard that is used in a different ROM and try to put it in your phone if you are running a different ROM because it will have lots of issues. I guess that means it would be easier to pull the red version out of the TAZ ROM and theme it blue. That is what I would like to do and then have it as a stand alone .zip that could be installed with Metamorph. I want to learn how to do this myself, so if you have any knowledge and could help me do it that would be great, but I would also like to know the steps to do it, so I can learn. I am an electrical engineer and work on test development for electric vehicle controllers, so I'm not dumb and think I could learn if I could get someone to help me!!

I can get you pointed in the right direction to create the metamorph. Check this post out here on how to metamorph. it helped me a great deal.

"Deleted because I failed to read"

A Link you might find useful here might help in with the files you would need to modify and create your metamorph, although I think they are for hi-def screens like the evo, so they'd need to be downsized to fit eris.

I hope this helps, if not let me know and I will endeavor to help as I can. I have not yet come across a black and blue droidx kb theme, so far the latinIME or the HTC latinIME are the one really being themed a great deal. Unless I am looking in all the wrong places, LOL.

Oh and almost forgot, you can simple use the black Kb from here.
