2.0.4 works for me, I must nevertheless take the 2.0.5?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
No, I'm just playing around with making the installation experience better. ;)

If you already have it installed on an earlier version, 2.0.5 won't make a difference. 2.0.5 is just 2.0.1 with bugfixes to the installation.

The main lagfix itself is fully complete (in 2.0.1 already) and it works very nicely once you get it installed.

I'm sure there will be a 2.0.6 etc as well, with more bugfixes to the install as people bring them up. No need to upgrade unless you want to help test out the install.

I'll eventually get in EXT4 and whatever else (2.1 only though until someone works out how to compile a module :( ), but EXT2 actually works very very well on the SGS.

P.S. I'm calling it 2.0.5, but it's actually NativeEXT2 Version 0.5 :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Is this basically the same as Voodoo with ext2 for Froyo but without flashing an other kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spline1:
mh i lost all my Data from internal SD, all Photos, Videos, all Data :-( !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Ouch. :( Hope you made a backup like it said!

How much data did you have on your internal SD? I'm trying to work out why this happens - seems to be completely random so far, but there must be a reason that parted's resizing would fail. Maybe some unique property of FAT32?

Yep, voodoo for ext2 for eclair or froyo or gingerbread without the need to flash a kernel. :)

Plus, it should work on all SGS derivatives like the Vibrant, Captivate, maybe even the Tab.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hacksome:
I tested on JPH. Quadrant ~1800. Very good usage speed too. Thanks Ryan!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spline1:
There were about 6 GB of data navigation and photo and and

i have deinstall this fix, and reboot. nope the Data was lost :-(

Damned, my Titanium Backup was there

My internal SD is empty, under Settings Screen is 13.43 GB Free Space :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Do you still have your data in /sdcard?

Did you have 1GB of free space in /sdcard before you started?

Anyway, ouch! :(

You kind of missed all the warnings though, and there were warnings everywhere!

Reading is good for you! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yubnub:
installed fine (no hangs or hickups),

did lose data though on internal SD though.

Ran Quadrant and got 1566.

Thanks for your continued work Ryanza
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spline1:
I had to fix the 1GB less, and it worked well.

and after the third Boot to more and more data disappeared.

I know it was still very alpha. I am a crash test dummy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
So data in /sdcard keeps disappearing for you on each boot?

Damn.. I can't seem to reproduce that. I can't work out the theory of why that would happen either!

I'll give it some thought, and I'll do some reading up on FAT32. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ludow:
I might wait a bit. :p

Currently using OCLF V2+. Or should I test this Ryan? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodeltje:
I'm getting the followin error (with this lagfis as well as the one on the market...:

"Install EXT2 Tools failed with error: Could not copy library libext2_blkid.so: dd: can't open '/system/lib/libext2_blkid.so': Read-only file system"

any ideas would be very much appreciated! :)

thanks

EDIT: the error on the 1clicklagfix from the market was on JM8, and the same error with the .apk from here appeared on JPH today... seems like some necessary info...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Feel free to test it. Everything seems 100% besides for the data on your /sdcard

Make sure you back it up (just copy it over to your pc). Losing /sdcard data isn't that bad if you've backed it up first! :D

I personally can't duplicate the lost /sdcard data.

I installed the fix from scratch.

I then created 9 100mb files on /sdcard, /sdcard/file1-9

I then rebooted the phone a number of times.

All 9 files are still there.

I believe the lost /sdcard data is either because of

1) People not having 1GB of free space (maybe more than 1GB of free space is needed?)

2) The resize in parted is not working. I don't know why though, parted has always worked for me. Maybe I need to do a fsck or something before rebooting?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spline1:
I had a fresh JPH, did your root and made the fix. and thereafter each boat always find out more information had disappeared. I can even understand. the fix has only made himself 1GB, then more and find out more, while all data from
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tommy1971:
Installed 2.0.4 successfully with my JPH/16GB, the phone is running fine and very smooth now! Good job RyanZA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dutchcow:
Tempted to give this a go as it uses vanilla kernels. Did you manage to fix the boot delay?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Which boot delay? The 10 sec one? It seems to be fixed, but I just left the 10 sec in there to be safe. 10 secs isn't too bad, it still boots up about the same speed that voodoo does, I think.

The 10 sec delay seems safer than looping until it finds it, in case it ends up looping forever. ;)

Anyway it works fine on my phone, but no guarantees at this point!
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
I know this has been discussed before.

But have a look at this!

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-7-should-have-customizable-wallpaper

If you like it, post a comment on pocketnow, lets make some waves so that MS can hear us.

They have allready made som other changes according to our wishes, so there is still hope.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Yes, I think there should be more options to customize the homepage.

Transparent tiles & Wallpapers spring to mind. But I don't think this is a case of them not wanting to offer things of that nature, I just think that level of customization is out of the scope of this phase.

Edit: I think it should exist, but personally I'd probably disable the transparent tiles. I'd probably use a wallpaper.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
I like the black background. With a amoled it will look very good.

And the black Background is metro... And i like it ^^
[Windows Phone 7 General] jakem:
I can't really see the point of wallpaper on the home screen. The tiles take up too much space and it would just clutter a nice clean interface.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I would love to have a wallpaper and the tiles half transparent.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trinest:
I thought it would look ugly- but that dosn't look half bad- is it possible to develop an app which does this or wouldn't Mircosoft allow it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
I really like this. I'm hoping that we see this added in the first revision of the OS. The more customization options the better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
Wallpapers not featuring in this release doesn't mean that they aren't coming. Loads of stuff (actually, most of the stuff people critisize) has been left out for time constraints rather than as a design decision. I expect that includes wallpapers, it seems like an obvious thing.

[Windows Phone 7 General] fixxxer2008:
are you even serious..."face palm". :rolleyes:

typical damn winmo fanboy response, jesus some of you will defend this piece of crap phone till the end. yet another reason this device will FAIL and why i wouldn't use one if i got one for free.

who the heck is microsoft to tell me how to use my phone? i cannot believe these are the same people who gave us the masterpiece that is windows 7. this wp7 will do worse than the palm pre/pixi did.

[Windows Phone 7 General] fixxxer2008:
lmao...did i strike a nerve? because i spoke the truth, deal with it.

and for your info, this has NOTHING to do with droid, im talking about how locked down this phone will be. it's worse than the iphone, learn to read before you respond.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
I think your comment is a bit over the top...quite silly actually...

Will you be coming back here to eat your own words...

WP7 looks pretty sweet to me...with all the money and marketing they are putting into this it would be a long shot for it to fail...

LIP
[Windows Phone 7 General] fixxxer2008:
i was an avid winmo user for years. wp7 not only looks like utter crap but it's more locked down than any phone ive seen. not being able to set my own theme or wallpaper is beyond ridiculous. this has nothing to do with me being a current android user. i just do not see this phone doing well until a crap load of changes are made, maybe by the devs. BUT from what i understand the devs won't be able to do much to it anyways. if i could shut off metro completely i may look into the phone just for the specs alone. most people i talk to agree 100% even loyal winmo devs. it's gonna take alot more than what wp7 currently has to offer to bring me back or most of the devs that defected to android. an believe me alot of them moved to android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fixxxer2008:
pwnd!

10char...blah, blah! :D

i have a zune hd. that's quite similar to wp7. Some time ago I did see an app that draws a background. Maybe something like that will come to wp7 too:confused:
[Fascinate General] xliderider:
I believe there is a bug in the signal strength indication on the Fascinate, the one that shows the signal strength in -dBm.

You can see the signal strength of the cell signal on the Menu, Settings, About, Status screen. Or you can place a widget on your Home screen. There are several widgets available, I'm using Mobile Signal Widget.

I have a network extender, which basically creates a cell tower right in your home. With my Motorola Droid, I used to get signal strengths down to about -50 something and 60's in indicated signal strength. I can hold both of our Fascinates right next to the network extender's antenna and they will read no better than -86 dBm. So far I've seen signal strengths from -86 dBm to -106 dBm (terrible).

I believe there is a bug in the software (Baseband) on the Fascinate. Previously, I thought the hardware (antenna/radio) wasn't very good, but now it may be software related.

Has anyone seen a signal strength stronger than -86 dBm on the Fascinate?
[Fascinate General] aroy002:
That's a good point. Mine has never gone below -86dbm either. It fluctuates between -86 at it's best and -106 at it's worst.
[Fascinate General] tech9ne:
Ill keep an eye on this with my phone
[Fascinate General] martian21:
I have no experience with cell phone radios so take this with the appropriate helping of salt.

Most radios have input protection that attenuates any signals greater than a set maximum level to prevent damage to the radio. I'm guessing the Fascinate reports it's receive signal level post input protection. It appears you just discovered this threshold for the Fascinate. Honestly, -86 dBm is plenty of signal, anything more is just for show ;)

Again, I'm only speculating here.

Martian21
[Fascinate General] xliderider:
Interesting theory. I have emailed Verizon support as well. Hopefully, I will get a technical response and not a canned response from them.
[Fascinate General] F34RDR01D:
With mine, it only fluctuates in -5dBm increments lol. I thought it was a litle wierd. I've seen -86, -91, -96, -101, and -106 lol.

As far as what the OP is talking about, my BB Tour (alltel) is the same way. It won't ever display anything lower than a -80.
[Fascinate General] shazbonk:
Anyone else have a consistently high TWS(Time Without Signal) percentage? Mine almost never goes below 50%, and I've seen it up in the 80s. I think my battery life is really suffering from this. You can see yours in Settings > About Phone > Battery Use > Cell Standby. I've tried a few "fixes" that I've found through researching the issue on other android phones in general, but haven't seen any results.
[Fascinate General] nillabob:
I was thinking about this the other day. Is it possible "time without signal" is simply a poor translation? The reason I ask this is when taking my phone off the charger overnight, I went directly to this setting to see what it reported. The phone reported having been unplugged for 2 minutes and already showed 5% TWS. I had been looking at the phone the whole time and didn't see it drop at all. What I did see is it going from 3G w/ arrows to 3Gd. So maybe this percentage isn't time without signal but rather time not active (i.e. 3G d).
[Fascinate General] destroyerbmx:
I agree w/ the 3g d, I did not update to DI01 yet and it said I have 20% TWS throughout the day, but the phone didnt make a no service sound.
[Fascinate General] egg_head:
On my drive home everday I pass a Verizon owned tower.

I've stopped at a liquor store about 200 yards away from it and they maximum signal my Fascinate would pull down was -86dBm (4 bars as well).

My Cell Standby is usually around 11%.

Battery life of my Fascinate is very good.
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
xliderider: Any news/word from Verizon on this? What kind of Network Extender do you have? Got a brand/model #? Been thinking of picking something up like this.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
So it isn't just my phone. My Fascinate goes from -86 to -106 as well. I had my Droid and Fascinate sitting next to each other, both reporting 4 bars. I went into status, and my Droid's signal strength was -77. The Fascinate was at -86. It's gotta be capped.
[Fascinate General] keith.mcintyre26:
You're holding it wrong. :)
[Fascinate General] jbrdr985:
You are probably right. With 4 full bars I can't get better than -86
[Fascinate General] markhunsaker:
I've been having the same problem...I was told by Verizon that it just has a "weaker" antenna. I go throughout the day with about 20% TWS. Never had that with my other Verizon phones.
[Fascinate General] churro7:
do you get dropped calls or otherwise poor service?
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
I am returning my incredible due to dropped calls (while at home) using Verizons network Extender. I have had the incredible since April 29th (I believe that was the first day it was released). I have had the signal boosted twice by Verizon but still can't get close to 40' without dropping. One thing I noticed on the incredible while in the same room with the Extender is it would read let's say a -86dbm before placing a call then when placed and on the Extender network the signal would automatically go to -56dbm (stronger signal than -86dbm) and then back up after my call. What I saw was the Extender wasn't active until you make a call... Having said that, I am hoping the Fascinate will be better than the inc was... I will let you know when the Fascinate gets to me Wed or Thursday.
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Got the Facinate a day early : )

So far it is defiantly working better than my Incredible on my verizon network extender!
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
Mines 0%
[Fascinate General] heygrl:
Sounds like it could have the same problem that affected the Vibrant. It NEVER showed higher than -81dBm, and would often reflect no signal (-0dBm is spectacular but it really means no signal within the Android system). Now with the update it reflects up to -51dBm like it should for GSM/WCDMA with Android and doesn't drop to -0dBm anymore. This of course effected the bars, often dropping to no bars or 1. Now after it's been fixed, plenty of bars and proper -dBm readings.

When i open the task manager(stock) and want to close an app, if I try to tap on the first app on the list, for some reason it close the 3 app on the list, and the same viceversa.

That is really annoying, does anyone else have the same problem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surveysays:
if I get what your saying.. your saying when you try to close something it closes the one 3 apps below it? atleast that's what happens to me sometimes. when you are trying to close and app, do you have your phone plugged into a charger? if so take that out and try again. that seemed to fix the issue for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lepapirriky:
yes its really annoying, and this happens not only while charging the phone. Is the screen mess up? Because sometimes this happens on the web as well, not as frequent than the task manager. Or its just because its a capacitive screen?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
None of what you describe happens to me..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
It sometimes happens tp me if I'm not careful. I've gotten into the habit of long pressing the end button and it seems to be better.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amdille:
Happens to me all the time. I ALSO started long pressing the "End" button that I want. Sometimes when I long press, I can see one of the other "End" buttons highlight momentarily, before the highlight moves to the button that I'm holding down. It doesn't happen to me anywhere outside of the Task Manager, so it's probably a SW bug in the app itself.

and cant find an ROM that fits.

The orginal Rom from the ASUS Website shows an language error....

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] StZ's:
I've bought a US Cellular TP2 CDMA device months ago, but now I'm back at home and I want to use it in Europe, mostly in Hungary, with an Eu carrier's SIM. Is it possible to put an European radio on this device or I have to use the WU radios? Should I unlock the phone to put a new radio on it?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Raul^:
I'm not sure about Cellurar, but try and put your SIM card (there is a place below battery) and when you turn on the phone it will ask you if you want to use Global mode. If you answer yes it would work as it should . No rom flashing is necessery :) Flashing GSM version of ROM can kill your phone , so I wouldn't do it!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] StZ's:
Thanks for the answer. Right now I can't try it, but I will as soon as I'll have the SIM. :)

Is there any difference in hardware between cdma & gsm touch pro 2, or just the radio firmware?

(As far as I know, every TP2 has the QUALCOMM CMDA MSM CHIP inside, either originally CDMA or GSM.)

So the main question is that if I never ever want to use it outside of the EU again (or as a CDMA device), am I able to flash somehow an EU radio on the phone?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Raul^:
You don't need to flash anything, just remove your sim card when in USA , you could then use it in Cellurar network (you should register it in the network first and pay I suppose).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] StZ's:
Thanks for the help. That's ok, I understand it, but I won't go back to the USA in the next few years, so this phone will be used only in the EU from now. I've unregistered it at US Cellular.

The reason is why I want to use it with an EU radio, is that I want to use is with EU roms and I've heard that some complains about problems with WU radios when trying to use 3G in the EU.

So my life would be much easier this way, but if it's not possible, I'll use CDMA...

Any ideas? Is it possible to flash an EU radio and ROM on my CDMA TP2? :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Raul^:
No. Don't even try it. You don't need it, CDMA rom would work with 3g network in Hungary .
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] StZ's:
Ok, thanks for the help, it works. :)

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djteotancolis:
sprint and cellular tp2 are supposed to be unlocked, but i may be wrong. no need for any radio or flashing. the cdma version contains the cdma and gsm radio, so need of flashing rom or radio. everything is built in

thanks defaultdotxbe for the link, but that really doesn't help as well I brought a verizon htc tp2 rhod500, winmo 6.1 not a sprint htc tp2 (cannot confirm but stated on advert) (thats what it says on the rainbow splash - volume down key + hang up key) from ebay apparently clean esn. Recieved today and have been trying to connect to O2 (gsm 900 band not sure about umts).

but I have the following problems:

1)It finds the networks but cannot register even under umts/gsm bands 900+1800 + umts 2100+900 or gsm 1900+850 + umts 1900+850.

2)Same problem under global

3) Upon start up get warning need to insert valid verizon sim - guess it has not been unlocked yet?

4)Under settings, there is no security or personal tab... so i cant get the unlocker as i dont know the imei.. or can i phone verizon and they will give it to me?

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

p.s does the htc tp2 have hspda / umts bands usable in the eu - the htc website really doesn't specify but it does for verzion :S.
