[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
have tried to use the sappimg from recovery or fastboot?

You can use it from both... try it out if you have not done it before

ps: try to see whats inside the sappimg.zip you have... if you cannot see inside, you need to rename it sappimg.nbh and not sappimg.zip...

Maybe thats why you are getting unzip/signing errors!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
I have tried everything except for renaming the .zip to .nbh, let me give that a roll and post back!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
Renaming it with .nbh didnt work,didnt even process it a bit,just straight back to hboot beginning menu
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
rename it to update.zip do it in recovery!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
In the original post I stated I cant even get into recovery =(,not even by loading it with fastboot. The only tools I have right now are hboot and fastboot =(

Serousley contemplating just running it over and going through my insurance,but a $130 deductible is a bit rough.

Any other options available?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
i'm uploading my sappimg.nbh which i used to my device.

It's the same fastboot info.

It worked for me in fastboot using a goldcard..,. 100 %

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
Model Version is older Update fail,so I would probably have to remake a goldcard,but cant do that since I cant get into the OS at all =(

Unless there is an external way to do that,anyone have any ideas or am I officially taking the tire to the mytouch
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
I thought so... non-functional goldcard.

Find someone around you and use his android...

The only solution !
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
would it have to be the same model as my phone or does it matter? My friend has an evo

Or wait I still have the a goldcard.img on my computer,if its the old one couldnt I just redo the hexedit?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Does not matter... any device will do.

Just make it right... read, read, think, read, think then do :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
Alright well I had the old goldcard.img in my gmail,so I just downloaded and I hexed it,and to no avail still the same error. Redid the flash twice on 2 different cards.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
do you still have the nr you wrote down?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
No i dont believe so,maybe its possible to reverse engineer the goldcard image? Or maybe even someone upload thier image if the model of the phone doesnt matter,I can do the hexwork myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
No go... Its sdcard specific.

So every sdcard has it's own goldcard img

You just need the string/tag nr for the sdcard... use any device to get this...

Then make the goldcard.

If you could find the tag nr you used for the goldcard img in your mail, you could make a new one (the right way) :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Maybe someone here could make a goldcard and mail it to you? Or what about all those rooting services on CL? Maybe someone has a goldcard you can use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
Well I have two potential ideas

1. I have the 8g sandisk thats come with the 3.5mm headphone jack mytouch through t-mobile,if someone has something similar maybe I can use thier gold image or

2. I have a Motorola phone,very old,think its a rizir? anyway I had a mini sd port, maybe I could pop it in, find the usb cord for it and get the number I need to make a gold card that way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
Alright heres an update,in case this will help anyone within the future, I just booted into a ubuntu VM I had and ran the command to get the CID for my sd card, so was able to do that and get a new goldcard.img, still doesnt seem to be flashing through sappimg though =(

Maybe it is completly bricked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
post the cid here... and i will make you an goldcard img
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
Nothing worked,redid goldcard multiple times so I just completly bricked the phone by removing the radio in fastboot,and now I am being sent a new phone for free due to the year warranty + my insurance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Sweet just make sure not to make the same mistake twice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Apeleon:
Yea what I did when I got my new one is that I got my gold card reversed number,saved it to a .txt file in case the ever need to make a new one
[Desire Accessories] @MARK:
So after reading about this on here, I placed my order via the Otterbox website a few weeks ago. Promptly afterwards, the web page was changed to "coming soon" grrr.

Anyway, on Thursday of last week, I got an email telling me that it was now in stock, my credit card had been debited and that it had been dispatched by FedEx standard.

This morning it has arrived here in a rather grey Lincolnshire.

I will post some pictures in the morning (although the images on the Otterbox website are pretty good) but I have to say that this case just screams quality.

Essentially, there is a silicon skin that wraps the phone and then there is a plastic case that clips over the silicon to provide the feel of a hard case.

I have tried other silicon and gel skins but compared to this, they feel really cheap. Having said that, to be fair, at less than £3, they were cheap. This is a different league.

It also ships with a screen protector.

All controls are accessible and all sockets (USB and headphone) have little rubber plugs to keep water and dust out. Whilst this does not claim to be water proof, I am guessing it would protect the phone from the odd splash of rain.

So it feels like a hard case but has soft corners which are going to provide good protection in the event of a drop. I am not going to test how far you can drop this but I am happy that this case provides a workable protection.

If you need extreme protection and water resistance then they also make the Defender case that takes this a stage further but as the closest I get to extreme terrain is the Northern line on a Monday morning, this will do just fine.

Highly recommended.
[HD2 General] DaveCNewton:
Hey guys,

Just wondered if any of you have severe lagging problems at times, where i press to call someone but it takes up to 4 - 5 minutes to actually respond, or perhaps never responds untill i apply a soft reset.

I also seem to have noticed these occurrences happen when the battery symbol goes down a bar. I think that as soon my 4 bars becomes 3 i encounter some lag and general sluggishness on the device...

Sorry if this has already been covered in the forums, any help will be appreciated!

Dave
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
hey dude.

there are lots of lagging issues with windows mobile devices.... thats one of them main factors that keep windows mobile so unpopular.

im not sure how familiar you are with windows mobile OS... but if youre only learning, i can tell you that hitting the 'x', 'back' and 'home' buttons will not exit a program... it will just minimise it.... leaving the program running in the background, consuming all your resources (RAM).

the way to close all the apps that are running in the background is to go to:

start > settings > system > task manager

close all running tasks (similar to PC).

Im not sure if this is the cause of you device being slow, but it might be.

let me know how you go.

cheers.
[HD2 General] compact_bijou:
Dutty's task manager ?
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
not too sure what duttys task manager is all about... im afraid i have never used it. the task manager i was referring too is the standard windows mobile one.

there are task managers and then there are task managers.

some task managers manage your tasks (pick up some milk on way home, take out garbage sunday night... those kinds of tasks - Outlook tasks).

other task managers (the one that will save your RAM), operate similiar to the task manager on your PC.
[HD2 General] DaveCNewton:
Cheers for the replies!

I think have installed that task manager (the one in the top right corner with a drop down application list) and that works a treat.

It's not a HUGE problem as I'd say it's fine 90% of the time. I've just been caught off guard a couple of times where i need to use my phone urgently and it just doesn't respond!

Would clearing up some space on the device smoothen it out? i have about 50MB left free

Cheers

Dave
[HD2 General] PHOENIXROSE:
Ive encounted this problem before. Ive flashed new roms + radios etc nothing seams to work it just sorted itself out over time.

try a new radio though think that helped out alot
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Flyview:
I did search, but the same issue seems to be related to Touch HD and Manilla. I have neither of those. Running Onyx based on WM6.5 without manilla. It has "Titanium".

The problem is that the home screen / wallpaper / background is of worse quality than the original image. When you set a new wallpaper, it looks like the windows re-compresses the image. I've found this re-compressed version in the /Windows folder as "stwater_240x320" for portrait and "320x240" for landscape and it is always named this.

If you replace this file with the original renamed to the same thing, it solves the problem. However, you have to do this every time you change the wallpaper...kind of annoying.

Anyone have a better solution??

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragictramp:
basically i would like to use the panaramic mode but with the 5 megapixel quality, i dont know whether this can be enabled with a hack/patch, but i think it would be a good addition to the phones abilitys - i know it would take longer to finish the stitching but a worthy wait! anyone interested?

This sounds reasonable! Samsung totally missed the spot with these ridiculously lo-res panoramas :( Love this feature, but low res output makes me do panoramas on my pc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frauhottelmann:
Why don't you take regular pictures and use windows software like Microsoft ICE (free) or AutoPano (not free) to stitch them together?

(I know, not a solution to your problem, but definitely better results)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragictramp:
A solution but kinda take the spontaneity and fun out it. Its nice to have the results in hand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
panoramas are usually lower res because they are, in fact, they are several photos stitched together. this holds true even in some newer point and shoot digital cameras.

the galaxy s is not alone in this. previous samsung phones such as the i900 omnia , s8000 jet, and i8910 omnia hd support the sweep panorama, but only at a lower resolution. just be thankful that the galaxy actually HAS sweep panorama - my friends with their iphones drool over this feature. otherwise, do what frauhottelmann says.

if a dev IS able to make this happen, then WOHOO!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
Holy moly it would be awesome if this could happen. Doesn't need to be huge but anything better than the tiny res setting its using now.

Of course that will put a much bigger demand on the memory and processing since it takes all the photos and then does the math. I can see issues popping up...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil-doer:
even if it just took the pictures automatically leaving the stitching to do manually later it would be very handy. id actually prefer that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragictramp:
i dont mind waiting while it processes the images, and if i was going to go thru the process of stitching in windows id probably take the pics with a real camera, it was just a suggestion and i, as a non techy thought it might be just a few mod's to the camera scripts - surely it would be a few lines which forces this mode into low res.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Gmail is acting kind of funky on this phone...

Every now and then Ill take a look at the Gmail account on my phone and Ill see:

Inbox (1)

But all my emails have been marked read on the phone. So Ill log in on a desktop, and see that one of my e-mails is unread, even though I just marked it read on my phone.

Sometimes Ill get a zero unread count in my app, login on a desktop and see that Ive got 3 or more that were never marked read.

Gmail used to be the best email experience out there on a mobile device, in my opinion. But its now gotten to the point where this bug plagues just about every email I receive.

Am I the only one? Is there even any action I take to prevent this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Sounds like a syncing issue. Everything works fine for me. Are you on a custom ROM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:

I seem to remember having the same issue on my G1 and the myTouch Slide, though not to this gravity. I guess it must have something to do with my account itself, but I would really hope not. Starting over with a new Gmail isnt the most elegant solution... :p

Can this phone support the Sandisk 32GB Micro SD Card?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
I dont belive so. Im pretty sure I read somewhere on here that the phone would only recognize up to 16gb card.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiladubz:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Yes it will work. If for some reason it doesn't work then you can always return it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
As long as you get a 32GB card from a credible source (not the $15 ebay one) then everything will be fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Yeah those ebay ones are rip-offs anyways. I was going to buy one from verizon for like $100
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Yeah from what I hear buying from the Verizon site is the best deal around. I would be all over that if I needed it (8GB is more than enough for me) or at least had the spare cash.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumsforjs:
Amazon has great deals i was looking at a 16g for 27.99. I mean we already have 16 of internal. I think 16 external would be a good amount dont you think.?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Well I look at it this way.. It is actually 14GB Internal and 2GB Micro right now (Is what comes stock)

If I purchase the 32GB Card then you can add it up (32+14=46GB)

I personally would have allot of music on mine..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
32 gig will work fine. You'll just have a like the biggest capacity seen on a phone for now..

After this post, The XDA app probably forced closed from my froyo lacking Vibrant:D

I'm using a 32gb Sandisk w/o any issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumsforjs:
Yea I mean everybody has different use for them some people like watching movies on there phone or having a lot of music. Personally I think ill just get a 16g or 8 but that's just me if you want 32 that would be awesome.! :))
[Epic 4G General] kawauso:
Please forgive me if this has already been asked, I tried searching several different ways for this and so far have had no results. This is also a two part question and mini-rant/background info into the issues I've been having with this phone.

So first off I'm wondering if any one happens to know how to access (or if it exists/enabled) the field test mode. The code for the Samsung SGH-i607, *#0011# brings up the test mode but only info you can get is the email and phone # for, my best guess, a Samsung dev. I know I can get the signal level from Status but I was hoping for some more info like SNR and such.

Now for the second question and mini-rant;

I'm not new to the cellular game or Android, in fact I just switched to Sprint from T-mobile (had the G1) because Sprints service is by far superior to T-mobiles out here. Yet this phone makes it quite the contrary, reception fluctuates wildly and even drops totally no matter what I do or where I am and this kills the battery with in a few hours of a full charge. Heck even Sprint's customer care hung up on me twice because they couldn't hear me...

I really want to believe this can be solved with a radio update or new ROM because I love this phone but the DI07 update hasn't made a difference as far as I can tell.

Before I return it and swap it out for a new one or possibly an Evo 4G I figured I might as well ask to see if any one has any advanced tricks/hacks/advice I can try before I do.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and if this is in the wrong forum, duplicate, or what not let me know and I'll remove it.

I use a combination of Autokiller (never kill tasks yourself), SetCPU and Watchdog lite (Email app on X10's is a major culprit and goes over 80% CPU usage occasionally) to manage battery life.

what does juicedefender exactly does? turn off 3g? is data on demand the same as juicedefender? and can u share ur setcpu profile?
[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
You can use juicedefender to regulate when to turn on/off 3G/Wifi. For example when screen shuts off or when you turn on the screen, maybe keep it turned off below a certain percentage of battery, etc.

As for SetCPU, I use fairly liberal settings:

Scaling is always on demand and priority is always 50.

Charge AC/Full --> 998 / 245

Charge USB/Full --> 998 / 245

Screen OFf --> 384 / 245

Battery < 10% --> 245 / 245

To save even more battery you can set your profiles to conservative, etc.

try deleting all applications and test your phone without using any 3g and wifi to chk if its a manufacturing fault. if it runs around two days without any 3g and wifi and applications your phone is good. and then just be carefull in installing applications. this is the best way to check it.
