Why are you judging the screen quality based on a widget? Sometimes the graphics are of low quality. Try using SpringPad widget or Recodroid widget. They look perfect. ;-)

Seriously, half of you idiots actually realize this phone was announced september 09.

It was released like Jan or Feb. This phone is first targeting the Japanese audiences, not you americans nor europeans at first. I am pretty sure the japanese might have this phone a lot more early.

Now back to the point, why are you comparing to a phone that is already 1 years behind the competitiion. THIS is AN OLD PHONE.

Do you still get update on your w810 or whatever? NO, old phone don't update themselves. You either get a new phone to go with your little friends on their pursue for "greater numbers" or join Iphone community where no one will complain about thier OS.

Let SE does their own job, if you don't like the phone, for god saken, thrash it or sell it and do yourself a favor, buy a new phone. I am sick of reading thread every time i open this link to see more "SE sucks and such".

Are you guys like some 5 years old kids complaining about their toys not being the latest? Geez, get off the forum already.
[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
From usability & build quality standpoint SE is not bad. The problem IMO is the x10 has a why the hell did they do that factor. Why the hell is SE taking so long to release 2.1? Why the hell is the 2.1 upgrade only supporting 65k colours instead of 16m? Why the hell did SE leave out MT hardware support? It doesn't matter if you find any of these features useful what does matter IMO is that SE's rivals have these features.

This is se's first android phone so they started with nothing. HTC's first androids were craptastic. But now that HTC have their software developed they can release 10 new phone a year and only have to adapt the software a little. Se will get better with their software it just takes time.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahedgpe:
So I installed Rom manager and rooted but have not put any custom roms on the phone yet. Only things I have done was to put VOODOO lag fix and battery widget on phone. I made 2 backup files in ClockworkMod recovery under the nandroid option and thought I would verify that the last backup I did was good. I went through the rom manager into the recovery and into backup/restore and restored my last backup in ClockworkMod recovery. It started the backup and on the screen right now it shows it is restoring system and then starts restoring data and gets to this point and stops:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0

Checking MD5 sums...

Restoreing data...

fota

It has been on the screen for about 45min. If I pull the battery and restart the phone it comes right back to the recovery screen. The only change I made on the phone prior to restoring my backup was to go into rom manager and updated clockworkmod to the latest version. I can get into download mode. Would I just need to get it into download mode and copy a different backup file onto the phone? Any help is appreciated!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Doo Doo:
first of all let's check what spl you have right now!!!

with phone off hold volume down key while powering on the phone this should bring you to the bootloader screen (tri-color screen) check to see what spl you have & post it here then we will go from there ;)

or you could try this instead

how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.

1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC

2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). the included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. you also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000, see the attachments.

3. flash

4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), not 0.85.OliNex.

I figured we could use a thread where people could post good deals on micro usb cables or just good micro usb cables that are proven to work on the EVO.

I picked up one of the Blackberry cables. It has the molded in Blackberry logo and it works well for charging/data and it is cheap. However, the insulation isn't very flexible so I imagine it will be fairly stiff in a cold car in winter. Example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150487513418&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I have also used the Nokia sync cables with partial success. I had one with my last Nokia phone that worked great, very high quality cable, and great flexible insulation. However, when I sold my Nokia phone and the cable with it, I bought a replacement cable off of Ebay and strangely enough, data worked but it wouldn't charge. So, I can only recommend these with a little bit of reservation. Look for the ones that have a cord detangler on them (CA-101). Example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/CA-101-USB-Data...031540?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35acb861f4

The stock HTC cable has decent flexible insulation but the ends seem a bit flimsy. Anyone find where to buy more of these cheap?

Let's try to avoid the cheap non-branded cables in this thread unless you can attest to their quality.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nhutpham:
I figure I should post here because I'm in need of a cable too.

A strange note on a "Blackberry" cable I got from Amazon, this one here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QATRCA/ref=oss_product

This cable seemed to work fine for me, my phone would show it is charging in AC mode when I was plugged into the wall charger, and data transfers fine across it. I did break one of the tiny plastic tabs that holds the micro side connector together, and it split open, but it is just two rectangular plastic halves that I taped back together. Everything seems to work fine on the cable, except when I charge the phone, I could swear it was charging SLOWER than my other cables.

Sure enough, after using Current Widget and testing with various cables, it was in fact charging at a LOWER current and charging SLOWER than all my other cables.

It just so happens that my OEM cable got bent at the micro usb side connector, and after trying to mess around with it the cable works but if you mess with it too much it disconnects.

I'm using a cable from my palm car charger, and that works fine.

I'm planning on buying one of the monoprice ones, they have nice gold plated ones for around $1.50 plus shipping. If anyone has any words to say about the longer cables (6ft) and the ferrite cores, it would be great to hear if there's any difficulties with those.

Phone Radio Compatibility Details Requested (both general and US T-mobile specific)

I have been doing a lot of researching regarding this phone and all of its cousins as well as how they will operate on the various US carriers. I have the following requirements for my next phone purchase:

1) Must be an Android device

2) Must have front facing camera (for international video calls to relatives)

3) Must be GSM (for compatibility with local prepaid SIM cards when traveling)

As AT&T and T-mobile are the only two carriers in the US (the only two viable ones at least, I don't know if any smaller carriers use GSM) and I refuse to renew my contract with AT&T that narrows it down to one option.

I have been researching the different carrier frequencies, both what they are and why they are different. It seems T-mobile decided to be special and as a result it is nearly impossible to get a T-mobile high speed compatible phone unless you purchase it from them directly. I almost want to call that evil, but it is easy to believe that is just a bad side effect rather than the intent.

Anyways, as we all know the Galaxy S has been severely nerfed by everyone except for Sprint. If Sprint only had a GSM phone that I could use internationally I would pick up their model, but alas it is not. I will not purchase the Vibrant because it lacks the front facing camera. My last option is the unlocked Galaxy S available abroad unless I am missing something.

Most of the online retailers I have seen all list different band frequencies and not even all of them have it divided into 2G/3G frequencies. I have some specific questions, but if you have any useful information for me I would appreciate it.

Question 1: Do the online retailers just suck, or are there truly many different frequency bands for the unlocked Galaxy S?

Question 2: Does anyone know of a Galaxy S phone that is fully compatible with T-mobile in the US (not the Vibrant, I need the front facing camera)? If not, would it be good enough?

Question 3: The radio bands I have ready about are usually divided into 2G and 3G categories. Is the phone radio physically divided into one for 2G and another for 3G, or is it the same radio and those are the frequencies USUALLY used by the different speeds? If I see the appropriate T-mobile high speed frequencies listed under 2G, would that mean the radio is in fact compatible with the T-mobile 3G because the radio can talk on that frequency, or is the hardware actually different and unable to comprehend the 3G speeds?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
You sir, are wrong.

I have a Bell I9000M and flashed the new HK JP2 Froyo to it. I lost my 850mhz UMTS Band. I then flashed back to stock JH2, including the modem and still no band. The only thing that fixed it was doing the *#272*xxxx# CSC select. Once I did that, bingo, 850MHZ Reception.

I know what you're saying SHOULD be correct, but unfortunately, it is not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackfireNL:
I'm still correct! CSC contains carrier costumizations. Which also can contain settings to ENABLE the 850mhz radio band!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
So, enabling/disabling a band doesn't have anything to do with reception?

So, when I get no reception because I'm in an 850MHZ ONLY area, which is disabled by the CSC. The CSC has nothing to do with it? I don't see the logic there, but alright.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackfireNL:
You can use whatever CSC you want as long it enables the 850MHz band. It doesnt matter what CSC...

Modem file is the one that contains the drivers for the radiochip etc... A better modem file means that you can get higher 3G/Wifi speeds or even have better reception.

The CSC only contains the setting to enable the band.. nothing more nothing less
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Cool man, I was directly referring to:

Which was wrong. No service due to CSC = No Reception. Plain and simple. You can argue what you meant all day, it's not what you said.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnsp:
BackfireNL is right. Selecting a CSC indicates which band/frequency the radio will use according to the place you are.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Uhh, that's what I said, disagreeing with his "CSC has NOTHING to do with reception" comment.

Just so you two know, the actual Merriam-Webster definition of reception is:

"the act or action or an instance of receiving"

CSC not allowing 850MHZ = No Reception.

If you're taking about small increases/decreases in quality of reception, then absolutely yes, CSC has no effect. But that is not what was stated.
