i never had the patience to get used to swype. i feel like i'm missing out. maybe i'll find it and try again.

If you post metamorph themes to swype then i believe those are fine, your just providing images to replace in it, not the actual APK

Just got off the phone with samsung. Tech support said gps fix for sure by end of sept. And froyo as soon as a few days to no more than few months. Also the update will come straight from them no att involved. Sept. 21
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Fro-noes!!
[Captivate General] Terrigno:
Froyo update. As soon as a few days to no later then a few months. Thats like me saying, Yeah........Ill get back to you Mr. President. Within a few days, but no later then 4 years when your run is over with. Garenteed! :D
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Every time someone calls Samsung or walks into an AT&T store and asks about fixes and updates, we get a slightly different answer. A dozen calls will yield a dozen different answers. The reality is that none of the people you can get to through the normal channels will know diddly squat about the actual release schedules. If we're lucky, the better than average rep/support tech will hear something about it a few days before it happens at best.

To get the real schedule, we need inside information. We need a Deep Throat! Someone on the test team at AT&T and someone on the dev/QA team at Samsung.
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
What if the dev/QA team at Samsung/ATT doesn't even have a schedule yet? This may sounds crazy but it is possible.

Remember that Galaxy S UK announced their Froyo update schedule 3 months ago. US division, on the other hand, still hasn't announced anything. Is it reasonable to assume the wait for Froyo update will be at least another 3 months?
[Captivate General] mmarquis:
I have been checking the Samsung site nearly daily for a week or so because their tech support also told me it would be available on their support site. However the last few days my bookmarked page is 404 and drilling down through the web site comes up dry also on downloadable Captivates stuff.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
In all likelihood, it is part of their deal with AT&T to supply certain updates within certain time frames -- standard practice. It will also need to be factored into Sammy's development schedule as it sounds like their devs are going to be quite busy with different Galaxy S updates. There's probably only a couple dozen people who actually know first-hand what those dates are.
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
Few months...sounds like next year to me. Hopefully not, I really want Froyo on it.
[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
whats the huge advantage of having 2.2? really whats so big about it

[Captivate General] eatkabab:
OMG I'm currently downloading something from the update menu in the phone. :eek:

Update: OMG It just finished the download and is 50% through the update. :eek:

Update: OMG it went to 100% and said "update is failed." :confused: Is this because I'm rooted?

Update: Unrooted to try again and it don't let me re-update. The "check once/24hrs" deal is bull**** yO` Screw you ATT
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazz:
After installing for example Tajm widget from market, it automatically installs to SD card, it is working ok, but after connecting phone with USB as removable disk drive, widget disappears... after trying to move it to phone memory it disappears again...

the question is.. how to make it work on not rooted, stock 2.2 :)

thanks!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elburna:
Youll always have to:

- install widget

- move to phone

- restart phone

- everything is fine.

Of course widgets dont work from SD (if u connect the device as a disk drive), thats why widgets (as well as Apps that include widgets) shouldnt be installed on the SD...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazz:
i'll try! thank you!

FINALLY!!

Not only am I getting 393.9 kB/s down from the Wichita, KS speedtest server (strangely the SF server only gets 180.6 kB/s down), but I can WiFi tether using 4G, I though that was restricted?!?! Sweet!!!!

PRI is still 1.34_003 but at this speed I dont really care.

Fresh 3.2.0.0

If Clear builds out from currently operative spots, I'll see some signal sometime around... 2027.
[EVO 4G General] Raidan988:
We also have across the bay in Hayward. More coverage toward the hills @ on CSU Hayward. At School I was getting 8900kbps down and 1200kbps up. Fast as hell. I believe they have many towers near college campuses, as my friend get full 4g bars at San Jose State as well.

drove down 101 yesterday near oregon expressway exit and i got 1 bar of 4G.. lost it before i even got a chance to do a speedtest.. lol

off topic, i visited my friend yesterday and he got the vibrant and his 3 bar 3G download speed was 2.8Mbps. i was shocked! tmobile has a very fast internet speed compared to sprint's! the only time i got 2.8 was when i was on 4G.

Martinez area off from highway 4 and 680 on Imhoff place I get between 1 bar and below. Speedtest range from 5 to 8 Mbps down and 600 Kbps to 1 Mbps up, Yay!!!

Now hoping the signal will get stronger and more consistent. 4G FTW! although my 3G is pretty fast here 1.6-2.1 Mbps down and 600+ Kbps up.
[EVO 4G General] mattehww:
Yeah, it's been nice with the unofficial 4g in Fremont for a while now.

11.75mbps down, 1mbps up with pdanet :]
[EVO 4G General] BrandonEnr7:
I was in the city of Pleasant Hill (east of SF) at Diablo Valley College and got a weak signal from somewhere when I was waiting between classes.

I ended up only getting 2741 down and 145 up probably cause the signal was weak.

Honestly had no clue where it was coming from cause as I went back to Walnut Creek (supposed to have a 4G tower up and running by end of year according to Sprint Store rep at their location a few blocks from the tower site) the signal went away.
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
Still nothing in Berkeley.

I did email a CTO named Mark Evans who is in charge of Sprints 4g developer network in silicon valley (ADP I think its called?). He has responded twice with the canned response (sometime 2010). I asked nicely to be handed off to someone who could help me in more detail. Waiting for a reply.

I will post whatever answer I get.
[EVO 4G General] psg190:
It's spotty in the east bay. San Leandro has it in a few areas. 7.5 down!

My uncle manages the Kaiser Center building in Oakland and said they aren't planning on flipping the switch on the 4G towers installed on the building until late December/early January.

I dropped my phone, and the screen now is a steady grey.Glass is fine, but just a grey screen when its on. I have insurance so getting a new phone. The problem is I have photo's and videos that I really want to keep, but cause my screen is broke, I can't mount the drive to copy it over.

How do I copy the files if I can't mount it in disk mode? Is there a way to mount the the phone storage on my PC via adb so that I can copy mile files off. They are on the phone storage so I can't just pull the SD drive and copy them. HELP!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeke1988:
go to setting and change the default connection type.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
are you savvy with ADB?

If so, then all you need to know is what clicking pattern during bootup will get you to a position to use adb from your PC.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corefile:
??? As I said, the screen is grey, completely greyed out. looks like a fuzzy TV. there in no way to choose anything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corefile:
Clicking pattern? you can't use ADB with the screen locked. The screen is completely non fuctional. no way to do any pattern., but I did not have a lock pattern anyway. I didn't think you needed the phone unlocked like that to use adb?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
No. Sorry. I ment the click pattern to booting to recovery.. I think ADB from recovery will be useful if you can explain the following:

-Are you rooted?

-What recovery do you have installed? (clockwork mod?)

-and do you have the android SDK on your pc which contains the ADB files? (this is why I asked if your experienced with ADB)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLynxy:
adb works while phone is locked to me. of course maybe that's because usb debugging is enabled. well anyway here are a few ways I can think of to help:

1:

adb pull /emmc/DCIM/ .

That will copy all internal pictures/videos to the location where adb is on your computer ("tools" folder). Do NOT forget the period at end of command!

2:

Get into ADB, either from normal power on, or in recovery.

adb shell

cp -r /emmc/DCIM/* /sdcard/DCIM/

That will copy internal pictures and videos to sdcard

@Samsung_Mobiles: @hellopraveen Froyo will be available by end of next month.

They just replied me on twitter.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paranoid2007:
Congrats Samsung. Three months after every other company. When will they learn that software development is just as important as hardware development?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lafaya:
they probably read XDA's bashing of JPH and thought "oops, we be gettin this shizzle aiight!"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
It will likely come sooner to some locations
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r3loaded2010:
If their brains are functioning correctly, they'd just hire several of XDA's members. Ideally, they'd integrate supercurio's work on Voodoo into their next Froyo firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
Something is NOT better than nothing. I hope they take their time and optimize the stinking releases that have been leaked so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Finguz:
Another month or even two is fine with me. I'd rather they do things properly than rush to please an impatient minority ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
You think they'd need to hire developers from forums to change the filesystem used on the phone? If they wanted to, it'd be a piece of cake to them. They simply don't plan on doing so. Why would they? It would be like officially accepting defeat of their own filesystem, which none of the big companies would be willing to do unless absolutely necessary.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kicsihuszar:
on twitter @samsungukmobile confirmed to release froyo in this month, hope it will, maybe 23rd sept?! :-O
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r3loaded2010:
The real mystery though is, why did they come with RFS in the first place?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
Because some jackass at Samsung with a big ego can't admit that their filesystem is rubbish and needs to die. Even though they could easily swap it for a better one and give the phone a massive performance boost.

Whoever it is should get fired. Surely their engineers realise this, there must be someone stopping them from doing their job properly.

I hope they do something about it. It really is a strange problem.

JPH certainly wasn't fit to be officially released so I'm not surprised by a delay.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] puiuflorinel:
Same here in Romania, samsungmobiles.ro said the update will be available around October, 15th...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] celeronix:
I prefer to update my phone in October instead of updating it tomorrow with another damn crappy firmware. These koreans have very strange policies about firmware development :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gshklover:
I would be very surprised if samsung change filesystem so close to the release - this is not typical for a large company. The leaked roms should be by now a good indication of what to expect. The reason samsung came up with rfs is because of older flash technology, they just seem to feel safer and more comfortable with continuing using in-house solution. Frankly, I don't expect they would ever switch - it would require significant validation, support tools, coordination ... Sgs is probably already an old story internally and they are working on next gen devices...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamtheater39:
this is really sad....cant believe a company like samsung shipping millions of phones all across the globe cant have a 15 member elite team compile a froyo build which works really well....thats really a shame for samsung imo. We're not talking about needing engineers from another planet with large sized brains to be cracking this one....it just needs a well coordinated prioritized approach.

Wonder when samsung would realize the importance of having a good software team....looks like only HTC has realized the importance of packing in good sw improvements over an os as a winning differentiator.

bah!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] celeronix:
If that's true, my next phone would NOT be Samsung anymore. They must look forward for the customers feedback very serious.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
Agreed. I really like the SGS but this lag issue can't be ignored. If they really refuse to replace their terrible RFS system it seems like an insult. There is no good reason to keep it, we have already had people on this forum come up with significant improvements to the lag by implementing other filesystems.

But then the problem is, who do I go to next :confused:

I'm not afraid to switch manufacturer, I do it all the time. Nokia lost me due to crap software, HTC suck at sound quality, SE are super slow with Android updates (their flagship phone is still on 1.6, haha)...

Damn, they're all crap in their own way :p

Samsung don't make me write you off for good by screwing the SGS owners over :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdy2go:
There are still rom releases for their omnia 2 device, previous flag ship device. It may mean they won't abandon galaxy s so quickly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] celeronix:
Yeah, I don't think that Samsung will abandon SGS soon. I had i900 Omnia and the best firmware for this one has been released may be a year and a half after it's promo. Funny ha? :D I remember the first firmware. It was AWESOMELY crappy and sluggish. Sad story :D

@Maddmatt: I totally agree with you. Now Samsung have a really BIG chance to grow their market share with great phone like our SGS, but they should be fast and quick, fighting for their customers. Because we didn't spent 500$+ for their ignorance policies :)
