and now we know!

Next up, fix MMS under AOSP/non sense roms for Cricket. Or does that work and I'm retarded? I couldn't find anywhere to set the MMS size and I think that might be the only problem.
[EVO 4G General] jim786:
Just in case I have a backup of the Mms.apk from a brand new Samsung epic. Just email or PM me. no I do not charge for this. And if anyone can host the file i will be more than glad to share.
[EVO 4G General] jim786:
the Mms.apk does remove the Mms from the phone. when i try to reinstall it from the phone using root explorer it says "Parse Error there is a problem parsing the package." does anyone know what i can do to fix this error?
[EVO 4G General] Williamh85:
Not related but... anyone get Metro MMS working yet? I have a working APN from my bros Eris and I cant get it working at all... How would one edit the Mms.apk?
[EVO 4G General] djhvc:
I keep getting application not installed for step 5B when trying to install app :mad: any way around this?

I tried with Root Explorer, App Installer, and even adb install, non worked!

Turned on my phone this afternoon (Dallas) and got a notifcatoin that a Sprint voicemail upgrade was available. I installed it, but just curiuos about what changed in the update.
[EVO 4G General] kc8yft:
if the update claimed that it was a "manditory" update, you now will have the "voicemail-to-text" 30 day trial...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Do you think we will get an update, and do you think it will come for the mytouch hd?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] beartard:
Quote from your link. It doesn't seem so. None of the carriers or handset manufacturers seem particularly interested in pushing new features to older phones, unless they're top-of-the-line, flagship devices that are selling well. It would require them to rethink their entire business model which is something like "subsidize a phone for a two-year contract lock, even though the phone will likely be replaced within a year's time by a few better phones."

They haven't caught up with the idea that phones are becoming more computer-like and that customers expect timely updates and new features on previous models. They're still working as if they're selling you a monolithic Nokia flip-phone from 2001.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Drzfr3shboialex:
The slide is the flagship, anyways can't wait for the mytouch hd, I wanna see it in white :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
I think cyanogen will include it in the future. At least I hope so.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] beartard:
That's possible...but look at the gotta-get trends. Everyone's talking about the Vibrant and the G2, now. The Slide may have had flagship status, but it's already past its peak only a few months on.

As for Cyanogen, I wouldn't count on that as well. He's already been slapped with one C&D letter from a corporation. He's very careful about putting contentious software in his ROMs.

I'd love to see it, but I'm not that optimistic about it on the Slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Gramon:
I asked our company's T-Mobile rep this very question. Although we mainly use Blackberries, I personally have a Slide and he says that "Yes I was told that it will be available on the MyTouch Slide."

Reps have been known to be wrong and sometimes tell you what they think you want to hear but he's been pretty straight-forward so far so I am hoping he's right in this case.

If it does work, don't listen to those idiots about it costing extra. When I had my BB, I asked all sorts of queation which boiled down to two key points:

- You can purchase a Call @ Home plan, which would give you an extra bucket of minutes used when making UMA calls

or

- Buy nothing extra, and UMA calls would simply come out of whatever minutes you already have.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Siegel Racing:
My wife rocks the MT3G Slide. We have unlimited plans, but terrible reception at home. I have the MT4G and LOVE it. It came with wifi calling...

At this point I either need to beg T-Mo to sell us another 4G for her or get her wifi calling working...

[myTouch 3G Slide General] TrueBlue_Drew:
I believe it would take someone building a kernel that supports it before it would work on the slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] MDSkinner:
I hope we get a 2.2 update with the wifi calling as they have suggested, but has anyone tried nettalk? I just recently installed it and it seems to work pretty well with the 3GS. Just curious if anyone else had experience using it. Seems like it covers the Wifi/3G calling fairly well.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] EirikrHinnRauthi:
Hey guys... been a lurker for awhile and finally decided to join to post. Isn't UMA calling being added in the CM7 nightlies? It would be nice to have on the slide with 2.2.

I installed this apk but it will not connect, most likely as it doesn't recognize my phone number and SIM information. Is there a way to get the system to recognize those?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] badboi_zero:
I like the idea of UMA calling. But I want it to be available on a stable ROM. So far Cyanogen 6.1.1 has been great. Can it only be implemented to a CM7 ROM?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rcprater9:
I am running the CM7 nightly and it keeps crashing my phone every time I try to connect to my WiFi @home....

i see that on the tmobile website it says it has wi-fi calling on it

is this true?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] SefEXE:
I don't think it does quite yet. A few roms have come out with it, NB, CR and whoever else has messed with the OTA... But I don't think the official 2.2 from T-Mo has arrived yet.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Drzfr3shboialex:
How does it work?

Do I need 3g signal?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] boredpcguy:
No you don't need 3g... It's not voip or anything, just an all-you-can-eat voice service that latches on to your existing phone numbers, and gives you an additional phone number when if called, can make more than one of your phones ring (cell, landline, office, etc). The app gives you more convenient control to the more common features used.

Take a look on google.com/googlevoice/about.html because there is a lot to this service. I use it only to read transcriptions (sometimes very inaccurate and hilarious) of my voicemails.

HI ALL,

I recently flashed my phone from my root DXJF4 to DXJG4, than recover old backup using ClockworkMod Recovery. After phone reboots.

I check using *#1234# to firmware, it display the below:

PDA : I9000DXJF4

CSC : I9000OLBJF4

Anyway to fix???, as in PDA : = JG4 & CSC : = JG4, cause right now when using samsung kies, my firmware is now not recognize.

PLEASE HELP!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cyfawcett:
Not sure, but you could flash back your original firmware.

There are plenty of 'How To's' on this forum, you just need to read about what you're trying to do.

com.htc.resources.apk located in /system/famework folder.

It's specifically located in res/Drawable-port-hdpi folder of the apk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appagom:
forum data loss is very annoying... I'll see if I'm patient enough to ask this as well as the first time: reposting as new thread.

The BIG FAQ is a great general information source for android hacker noobs, samsung or ohterwise. I am trying to understand something missing here and confused elsewhere. I want to know how factory default recovery works in detail. First this requires an understanding of what information exists on the device (from factory or a flash) and how it's organized and used (please read on before saying the FAQ answers this).

1) Where does a flash put information? Are all the major OS parts (core, phone, CSC) on one partition or on a few? I've seen my phone do some installations after a reset, installing apks I think, I guess these are from the CSC which makes me think it's not (fully) applied to the working directories during the flash, could be on a separate partion, but maybe not and it's just finalizing installation on the same partition. (unpacking, registering etc...) I don't know.

2) related: Is the working copy of /system the one and only copy or is there a master copy made during a flash that is reverted to during a reset.

Example: If I root a phone with an exploit (NOT A FLASH) and still have stock ROM and then delete a system apk... did I delete the only copy of that apk or will a recovery restore it.

I've read people say that a factory reset doesn't lose root, but that doesn't get to the point since many or most people get root by flashing a new ROM.

3)Are the answers the same for every phone?

4)I forgot part 4 but I think it was a good question the first time around .

(edit: I remeber part 4, is there only 1 type of factory reset? ok not that good.)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appagom:
bump.. who's the jerk voting this one star?

Yes there's a noobish element to it,

Yes it COULD go in Q an A

BUT

1) I found a thread here with two senior mods arguing whether some phone, I think galaxy S has a hidden partition somewhere possibly holding the system backup. Ok maybe it was old.. but I didn't see any definitive answer so it's not THAT noobish.

2) It could go in Q and A, but the BIG FAQ is here.. and. it's relevant to develoment/flashing why?... Obviously it's related to how much risk people take when mucking with files in their phone.. ie will they need a flash of just a reset. Also could bring new ways to get ROMS without flashing anything... just ideas.. but clearly not so out of place.

If the answer is so obvious, then just say it. You knew it was a question before you read and rated it.

I can go test this by moving a file and resetting my phone. But if it's really so obvious a quick reply sure would save the trouble.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] webvan:
Been wasting hours trying to connect my Milestone to my iPad running MyWi but it looks like the fix is to patch the wpa_supplicant as was done here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754961 - unfortunately none of the wpa_supplicant's over there (05 and 06) work on the Milestone (it stops scanning for networks).

Has anyone compiled it for a Milestone running 2.1update1 ? If not can anyone point me to tools that would let me try to do it?

Also I had a problem with the backup of my original 2.1update1 wpa_supplicant so if anyone can share theirs that would be great, would save me having to reflash.

Thanks !

Thanks for any help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tritron777:
Sounds like the update package is not signed with valid keys. Is your phone rooted ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welrope:
check your zip. If you zip a file two folders deep it will give the same error. open your zip and see if you see your files or another folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yessurr:
yeah when i unzip it, the first folder i see is the name of the rom "fresh" then when i open it, I see; boot image file, data folder, META-INF folder, sdcard folder, and system folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tritron777:
Well update script is in META-INF\com\google\android but if your zip file is not signed then it can't be flasshed that is why you get upgrade script not found.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yessurr:
How do i do that????? And walk me through what "signed" means

And im using a macbook pro if that helps any

Thanks a ton
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tritron777:
Well did unziped the zip folder ? Did you make any changes to the installation zip ?

Now what rom are you running. So you have root ? When you use connectbot and type su deo you see #? It could be that your phone is not ruter and does not have proper recovery installed since we can't sign rom with the same keys that developers at sprint use we have to root the phone and allow it to accept custom rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yessurr:
all i did was download the fresh rom from the forum onto my computer, compressed it (zipped it) then rebooted my phone into recovery, wiped everything i needed to, enabled the usb, moved the zip over to the phone, disabled the usb and then went to flash zip, found the zipped fresh rom and tried to flash it.

Im running my stock rom that came with the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tritron777:
If you running this on mac the os x will unzip ypur file and put the download file in trash so use zip file from trash. Now You need to use simple root to root and install proper recovery on your phone then you will be able to install custom rom .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yessurr:
Awesome! found the zip file in the trash like you said, transfered that over and it worked! thank you thank you thank you!

How good of battery life is everyone getting on their Fascinate? I've never had any trouble making a full day on it, and I think it actually got improved battery life since I installed the DI01 update a couple days ago. My phone has currently been unplugged for about 15:40, and with relatively light usage (no phone calls, reading a bit of news, checked the weather couple times, etc.), is only down to 71%. I'm not even gonna bother plugging it in tonight, and see if I can get through tomorrow with it.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
i effen love this battery life. couldnt be any better

with continuously heavy usage i make it through the day, usally at least 2-4 hours of voice calls and 45min to 1hr with browser, 30min music, long enough to get the job done while looking at porn.(u know porn is for android LOLZ) ne way for real, another 30 min looking at droid-life,engadget,phandroid, and xda, and the rest on xda, its great
[Fascinate General] bomber889:
I get around 32 hours with moderate usage
[Fascinate General] RustyT:
I took 8.5 hours of streaming Pandora over 3g to get my battery down to 15% from a near full charge at work the other day.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I'm now at 1 day, 5 hours, and 47 minutes unplugged, and with light usage, am at 52%. w00t!
[Fascinate General] bwhite757:
I'm averaging about 12 hours off the plug before I need to find a power source again. This is 4 hours better than my old Moto Droid 1 so I'm definitely not complaining. I spend a LOT of time on the Remote VNC app logging into computers around where I work, and that tends to drain the battery fairly quickly. I can easily make it through the day on my days off at work.
[Fascinate General] cesium:
Yeah I get very solid battery life with my fascinate. Usually down to 40% after a full day which is constantly checking and replying to emails, moderate texting, maybe 45min of web browsing, 30 min of streaming radio, and an hour of playing Abduction 2 :D.
[Fascinate General] saps:
Im pleased as well. Usage varies. I tell people the battery is good for about 5-6 hours of constant non-stop use. Screen lit, downloading something via WiFi or 3G, apps, games, camera, emails, texts, GPS/Nav, whatever. Constant heavy use = 5-6hours. So if you are like me and average maybe 20minutes per hour of actually using it, an 12-14 hour day is a piece of cake. If you only average using it heavy duty 10 minutes per hour than absolutely you can probably get away with charging every other day.
[Fascinate General] wtherrell:
22h 47m Since unplugged. Battery now at 26%. I keep GPS and Autosync off until I need them. Also installed an app called Battery Boost that helps manage battery draining stuff you can't keep up with. I think it helps and was free.
[Fascinate General] aloa64:
wow you guys are getting really long batt life. I moderately use my phone and I always get around 13-15 hours. I don't play games / listen to music, I turn off everything except GPS and have screen at lowest brightness. The only time I hit 24 hours is when I installed juice defender.
[Fascinate General] Mystique:
little over 16 hours; quite pleased

I am not using juice defender and I am getting a little over 16 hours with moderate usage.

From 5am to 8pm it lasts.. on 3g and at 8pm I get home and switch to wifi.. which is about 30% at 8pm.

I found that disabling that last option in the display settings really helped me.

I also am not using any task killers or (again) JuiceDefender or GPS or BT, just 3g cellular service for most of the day.

I am rooted and have the lagfix applied via the original dirrk method.
[Fascinate General] CPierce:
Battery Life

The first day I got the phone I thought the battery was crap. But I did do a TON of stuff on it. (Rooted, Lagfix, a zillion installs)

Day 2 with the phone I was at school and used it quite frequently from 7 AM and worked until 10 PM. At school everyone had to see it and it was in use almost all day. It finally died around 10:15.

Over all I am pleased with the battery life and I am sure after I get to a norm with having everything set the way I want it will last a lot longer.....
[Fascinate General] Jake_Mongoose:
I've been streaming Pandora for about six hours. I've downloaded a bunch of apps/widgets and spent a lot of time customizing my phone, just playing around. Talked for about half an hour and I'm at about 50%.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Well, i think we can all agree that the battery life on the Fascinate is quite satisfactory. Oh, just a quick tip. With the AMOLED screen, black pixels are actually pixels that are turned off, so the more black you have on your screen, the less power it will draw, as more pixels are turned off. I set my xda app to the dark theme, mostly because I like it better, but it has the added benefit of saving battery life too. I plan on sticking with dark wallpapers and stuff.
[Fascinate General] tonyb81:
Only had mine for a day so I can't really comment on the life of the battery, but one thing that does puzzle me is that the battery indicator in the upper right is full, but its only at 82% charged. Is this normal?
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
2nd day with this phone, first full day with it, so I've been testing the battery life. 2 1/2 hours of non stop usage since I woke up at 33% brightness. Calls, texts, testing the camera, playing games like NOVA, Asphalt, and Gem Miner, listening to music, and my battery is at 68%. I'm very impressed.

EDIT: Lasted from 1:19 to 11:33 yesterday before it finally died, and I seriously did not put it down all day. I'm very impressed with the battery life.
[Fascinate General] keith.mcintyre26:
This is the usual for me. Using gps, music, lots of cellular data, wifi, etc.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
Yesterday I went to MD for a wedding and took my phone off the charger at around 2pm. When I got back today around 4, I still had charge.

It's about average I guess, but I think I had better battery service when I uninstalled the verizon visual voicemail stuff. The VVM service seems to have an impact. I assume it monitors the voicemail server and downloads voicemails when they come in.
[Captivate General] StDevious:
What's the state of GPS on this phone in todays date ? Did it ever get fixed to be as accurate as other phones ?

Update 9/30/10: I was pretty hopeless about the GPS after reading all of your comments. Today I met a dude on campus with a captivate. We were sitting inside a building, so I decided to test out his captivate against my Eris. I turned GPS on on both devices, and started google maps. The captivate got a lock withing 10 seconds as did my Eris. My eris had an accuracy of 40m, while the captivate had 60m. Not bad, considering what I have been reading here.
[Captivate General] climber1872000:

[Captivate General] matthewpapa:

The update did nothing for the GPS. The GPS is still junk on these phones. Samsung is one of the most disorganised companies there are.
[Captivate General] sevenvt:
My gps works fine. But then again I don't sit around waiting for the manufacturer... I sit around waiting for devs.
[Captivate General] galaxyjeff:
Even with the tweaks that people put out on here it's still worthless. I don't know if it's an issue with the drivers that control the GPS or what but it's not normal for it to be this bad. I sent my phone back to Wirefly and if they send me a new one I know the GPS is still going to be junk on it so I may sell it and buy a different phone that runs on at&t.
[Captivate General] climber1872000:
Actually my gps sucked balls before the update and now works extremely well. The update may not have contained a gps fix but mine has been much improved since the update. Before the update I would be lucky to lock onto 1 sat. Now I am able to lock onto 7-9 sats in under 20 seconds and pretty much stay locked.
[Captivate General] matt310:
Are you using the GPS Test app to get these locks? Or is there something else that shows how many satellites you're receiving info from? Because I can get 10 satellites 'locked' no problem using the GPS test app, but Google Maps or the Navigation app both still take forever to show my location, and track my movement, most of which is completely wrong (for ex it will have me driving in fields instead of on roads).
