[Vibrant General] burntrat:
But we will be getting brand new ones right? Not refurbs? I think the tmo store guy said, there is a chance of me receiving a refurb if I do an exchange through the 1 year warranty.
[Vibrant General] burntrat:
I was basically asked the same thing. I said in case I need to do a reset or something. He said, you can do it through the phone under settings and he was about to reset it then and there. I was thinking 'NOOOO....'

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysacr:
I'm just wondering how much internal memory do you guys have left? I have the T-Mob 1024mb but after WinMo, Android, and some apps, all I'm left with is about 75mb. Does that sound about right to you guys?

How do you guys with the 512mb version manage to run both winmo and Android?? I'm using Energy Titanium, which is very light and small already. I'm surprised Android and my apps take up so much.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
android runs off the sd card not the internal memory
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anhyeuemmaimai:
there is a total of 576MB of ram on the phone plus a 1GB ROM plus a 16GB storage card. You should install apps to the storage card instead of the phone to save space.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysacr:
When I go into Settings>SD & Phone storage> Under Internal phone storage, it lists 82.47MB, this number changes as I delete and installs apps.

How do you install apps to the sd card? When I download an app from market, it just automatically installs and I'm given a choice to choose either the internal phone storage or sd card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anhyeuemmaimai:
tap on SD card as that is your external storage and then proceede with the installation
[Fascinate Android Development] betcmrekoapl:
Have you guys seen the thread in the vibrant forum about this? Can't post a link sorry but apparently they managed to get a front facing camera installed and developed a working rom to support its use. Hopefully someone will see this and work on doing the same for the fascinate bc I'm totally willing to donate and be a guinea pig fur this one
[Fascinate Android Development] gamer4208:
Thats awesome, the first chance I get I'm doing this.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
I'll do it when my 30 day return period is out. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] wizang:
I think this depends on the vibrants hardware similarity to the stock i9000 so there is a place to physically install the camera. Not so sure the fascinate even has this.
[Fascinate Android Development] pats4life100:
it do

Hey order my can for mine and the fascinate do have a place for the can and I no cause I opened mine up
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Sounds pretty legit.
[Fascinate Android Development] shauder:
I want to buy one but not 3
[Fascinate Android Development] HorsexD:
Yeah I Was Reading The Vibrant Forum, I Would Love to have a FFC on my Fascinate! Ide donate some too! Hopfully Somone will pick this Up :x *Crosses Fingers*
[Fascinate Android Development] shocking4life:
yea was just reading that vibrant thread, this would be great!
[Fascinate Android Development] Anderdroid:
You would need to port the i9000 froyo rom over to this. My gf has a fascinate and I have a Vibrant so we'll see. Maybe I'll look into getting it done :X no promises
[Fascinate Android Development] HorsexD:
You Would Be Worshiped if you Do! >,<
[Fascinate Android Development] bomber889:
if theres room for a ffc, could there be room for an led notification light?
[Fascinate Android Development] HorsexD:
Im Not Shure but I dont think so Since i dont think the ORiginal i9000 had a notification light. Might only be possible through usb. Also Somone on the Vibrant forum said there isnt Enough Room for a FFC in the Fascinate? idk if its true but it would be nice if somone tested this and found out :X hope there is room! Ide so love a FFC.
[Fascinate Android Development] lucious584:
So i opened up my Fascinate a couple days ago. There is some good news and some bad news. Good news is that the phone was relatively easy to open and can easily be done if you want to. The bad news is that there is in fact no room for a FFC as far as i can tell. I tried to take pictures of the whole process with my droid eris but the pictures looked awful. Ill try to find another camera to work with to take pics and post them. For people who want to open up their Fascinates i highly encourage. The phone is easier to open up than the i9000 IMO.
[Fascinate Android Development] 40Glock:
I would certainly scrape together a donation for the person who makes this happen on the fascinate
[Fascinate Android Development] hikyknim:
so excited ! FFC on fascinate sounds awesome =)
[Fascinate Android Development] CNemo7539:
I do not know guys, why spend time on such nonsense?...

I propose to try different route. What if we can create some sort of optical attachment on the lens to direct image from front to camera? Something extremely simple as a couple of mirrors or prisms. I can imagine making prototype from paper in about one hour.

Is there any app able to do video chat using back camera? Would it be difficult to create one?

Patent application is pending :-)
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Back at ya...
[Fascinate Android Development] CNemo7539:
Realistically. I think it's better than live in wet dreams...
[Fascinate Android Development] st0101:
The app is for both iOS and Android, its called Tango!
[Fascinate Android Development] m2cool2go:
Fring also works for the same purpose.
[Fascinate Android Development] st0101:
There has got to be a way to get this done. Can anyone post pics of the back of a Fascinate thats been disassembled? Any ideas guys?
[Fascinate Android Development] HorsexD:
Theres some floating around somwhere but it looks like the headphone jack was in the way. Atleast I Think it was. ill have to find them again to make shure
[Fascinate Android Development] lucious584:
Yes i can confirm the headphones jack is in the way. I opened up my SF and discovered this.
[Fascinate Android Development] st0101:
Do u think there would be an alternative methods?
[Fascinate Android Development] caesus:
I kind of skimmed through this thread quickly, but I'm just wondering if this could be adapted to installing a notification LED. Seems like everything you would need software-wise would be present in Android and it's way more practical than a FFC.

Any thoughts from the hard-modders?
[Fascinate Android Development] lucious584:
Hard to say. The fact that the headphones jack is in the way and that there is no hole made for the FFC is quite the obstacle. It would require some serious modding. I need to have another in depth look to see our options. Probably this weekend.
[Fascinate Android Development] lucious584:
Idk about this the fact that the FFC and the BFC are both attached to the chip for the camera mean that the chances are slim but I'm not saying that it wouldn't happen. I'm gonna open my phone again this weekend for an even better look. My friend whose also a very good hardware modder might also help me out on this project.
[Fascinate Android Development] st0101:
Your my hero.. Could u post some pics? Also what did u use to open it up?
[Fascinate Android Development] lucious584:
The whole process will be photo documented with the possibility of a video. As for tools just a screwdriver to get the initial six screws off. After that your gonna want to use your hands to separate the black back from the chrome looking edges. DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT YOUR HANDS. Trust me, my phone has got a few cosmetic marks from me trying to use a screwdriver to separate the two parts. After that you're home free :))
[Fascinate Android Development] bswright:
any further development on this? Keeping my Dremel handy. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] achandler2:
Tango is a great app that allow you to use the back camera for video chat. You can download it from the market
[Fascinate Android Development] mattstakilla:
yeah, just make sure your using it in front of a mirror
[Fascinate Android Development] zeiroe:
Sadly … Not going to happen on the fascinate at all.

I took mine completely apart ... completely

I even took off the metal riser that the camera chip sits on (metal bracket that holds the sdcard reader) and it will not work.

The connector of the ribbon cable on the i9000 replacement has a gender problem … I don’t know if it’s a male connection or female but it’s the same as on the board.

The fascinate camera is mounted too low from the top edge. The i9000 replacement camera ribbon cable for the FCC is too short

The connector on the i9000 is to the right of the camera. On the fascinate, it’s on the bottom.

Here's a picture of me with a mad face >:( ... Buddy showing me his Vibrant with a working FFC ... Took this with my fascinate after i put it back togeather.
[Fascinate Android Development] zeiroe:
Here's some photos i took that can show you what I'm talking about ... HUGE resolution pictures that xda wont resize ... so I'm going to link to my site ...

You can see the problem with the connector gender and the cameras general positioning ... and nothing under the metal riser that holds the sdcard.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
I have a nexus one running a stock 2.2 FRF91 that is rooted with via universal androot. When the update for 2.2.1 notification hit my phone I downloaded it by mistake. I did not install it but the files are still on the phone along with the update icon in my notification bar. When I go to it I now only have the option to restart on install. Not the other options like install later.

Does anybody know how to get rid of the downloaded files and make that notification basically go away. Back to the do you want to download and install this update one? I figured it would require finding the files via a file browser and deleting them. I looked around real quick to see if I could find what and where it downloaded but was not sure what was what. I did not want to delete the wrong thing.

I would really like to get rid of this icon in the notification bar if possible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitinon327:
Try rebooting using quickboot. It'll give you 2-3 days of being free from the notification. It beats hitting "install later" every 10 mins. Its been working for me so far
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Thanks but I am past that point. I do not have that option. When I open the bar I get that its downloaded and verified and all that stuff. Only option is to restart and install.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Well as I entered my last post the notication popped up on the screen and I hit install later. But I still have the icon in the status bar. That was not there before today but I got the update push a couple of days ago. After reading another thread on the site it seems like others have the same issue

Hello everyone, well I been looking really hard for a build that has real good battery life... but I haven't quite found it yet... if anyone has suggestions please leave them... thanks... the build I have now lasts about 9 hours with minimum usage... using nexus one build...
[HD2 General] ctt0002:
i'm not sure what everybody else is getting but this is my results.

i'm running vbn rom with hyperdroid. I unplug my phone at 6:30 in the morning. I listen to about 3 hrs of music, about 50 sms, too many emails, facebook everybody 15 mins (lol), email sync is set at 5 mins. wifi is on from time to time when i'm inside class when i don't get any signal.

By around 2 pm i'm down to about 20% which is a lot better than what i was getting with other builds. Not sure if this helps but gives you an idea.
[HD2 General] CHIxCITY:
Thanks for the reply... really helpful!
[HD2 General] crawlingcity:
Just do a quick search in the android section, you'll find lots of useful tips regarding battery life. I'm using VBN + hyperdroid 1.6 and my battery life is just awesome.

Ps: read v-b-n signature, you'll find an useful tip
[HD2 General] bravo261:
bad battery life used to be pretty prevelant across all the android builds, where battery life would drop 5%/hr just in standby but the recent builds seemed to have killed it off

use setcpu (do a search) to help battery life when the phone is in use and also download currentwidget to monitor your usage in standby to troubleshoot. it seems <10ma in standby should be the goal, and >50ma is gonna kill ya.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julian.kueh:
Hi everyone,

I have a problematic Nexus One. I've googled the issue and read all the corresponding threads and none of them seem to have boot loop issues as bad as mine. At least I dont think so, anyway.

Where should I start? I recently bought the phone off ebay. The seller did clearly state the phone's issues and that he couldn't be bothered fixing it, let alone paying over $200 to send it back to Google to be repaired or replaced (from Australia). Call me a sucker for punishment, but I do like dabbling in electronics so I thought I'd give this a go and hopefully will be successful. It wouldn't bother me if it rebooted once every few days then rebooted again normally but this isn't the case. I'll try to describe it's behaviour as precisely as I an and I sincerely hope the collective expertise on this forum will be able to help me successfully resolve this issue. BTW, I've been using a gorgeous Desire since July.

The Nexus one is running Modaco r21, 4.06.00.12_7 radio, 2.6.32.9 kernel, CMR 2.5.1.0.

1. When the phone has been powered down for at least 5 mins, it will power up as normal. If left alone on the bench or very lightly used ie a few minutes, then pwr button sleep, no problem. If I continue 'sleeping' the phone every few minutes while using it it continues to function normally for a few hours. If I don't 'sleep' the phone and use it continuously, then after about 20 mins it goes into a reboot cycle with the static 'X' going on and off every few seconds then ending up with the continuously on "X" with the unlocked padlock underneath, which is unrecoverable until the battery is pulled.

2. Battery reinserted immediately after removal and the reboot cycle continues. I can boot into the white Recovery or Fastboot sreens but when I select an action like Recovery, the boot loops starts again. Battery pulled and reinserted again, boot loop occurs again. Pull battery and leave it out or powered down with battery inserted for 5 mins, reboots normally. Then point '1' above continues.

3. I have Rom Manager, Titanium and Superuser Permissions installed. I received the phone with Eclair installed and after many attempts managed to install the new radio and Modaco R21. Last night I tried doing a back up via Rom Manager since I cant get into the black Recovery screen and now Titanium and SU are force closing.

This is all I can think of right now and will update with more info as they come to light. I've been trying to install setcpu to see if underclocking will help however I have been unsuccessful due to SU force closing. I am an Android and Linux noob but am always willing to learn. I really would like to get more stability in this phone so I can either use it as my primary or back up.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Edit. I magaed to do a factory reset when it dont momentarily allow me into Recovery mode. Wiped all data and davlic as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
My first instinct is that the phone has suffered or is suffering from a heat problem of some type.

Do you have the android SDK set up on your computer? You should be able to flash an aftermarket recovery using the "fastboot flash" commands. You could also use the "adb reboot recovery" command to reboot the phone directly into recovery mode.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julian.kueh:
I'll give your suggestions a try. What fastboot commands should I be entering? I am an absolute virgin with all this.

[Droid 2 General] gordon8452:
I recently flashed my phone with a modded build of the 2.4.0 r2d2 release and it had launcherpro 0.7.9 built in. I wanted to update it to 0.8.0 and not have it as part of the system rom so I took it out with titanium and rebooted. I didn't realize the rom didn't have the regular home screen in it. So now my phone is stuck at the droid eye and never goes into a home screen. Is there an easy fix for this scenario or do I have to bite the bullet and sbf restore it? I can't get it back into the bootstrap recovery because I can't get to the app.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
If you power down your phone then plug it in (wall or computer) then try booting it up that should put you in clockwork so you can at least load a backup. If you can't get back into clockwork then you'll have to .sbf.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
I'm having a problem. I have a GT-I9000M device that shipped with the latest Eclair ROM (JH2) for that model. Worked fine of course.

A few days after rooting it I flashed JPK and then applied Doc's Mod. It changed the boot screen and product name in About Phone to GT-I9000 instead of GT-I9000M. I wasn't too worried, though, because I was sure that with the speeds and reception I was getting, that I was getting all the bands I was suppossed to.

Then I decided to flash JM8. I followed the instructions to do so, then applied Doc's Mod. The ROM was great but I was getting almost no reception (either 1 bar of "G" or zero bars "H" in most situations). Super slow/poor data and phone performance.

Then I decided to go back to the stock JH2 that the phone came with to get my speeds back. I flashed (using 512Pit) the PDA, Modem, and CSC for the device. Booted up and ran great, and both boot screen and About Phone have changed back to GT-I9000M. But while I'm getting some "H" reception, reception over all has been quite poor and not what I got originally with the device (or so it seems).

How can I check to see what bands I'm actively getting and which I'm not? What steps should I take to resolve this? Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawen:
you need to install BMC product code, right now i bet your product code is KOR, i was having same problem only getting 1900 band, after flash back to JH2 change my product/sale code to BMC, then wcdma 850 will work again
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
Once I flashed back to UGJG8 I was able to change the product code which fixed it right away (that didn't work from JH2). After fixing, I flashed back JH2 again and it continued to work fine. I then flashed JPK and it continued to work fine. Although if I want to downgrade from JPK, I now know that I need to go to UGJG8 first. Thanks for all the help!

Don't know if this is the cause but as for me the only time I have issues with MMS is when I have poor network signal.

Mine is set to auto GSM/WCDMA and the worst that happens is that the phone hangs when it is changing between networks when MMS is at work.

Else it either just have errors in sending and receiving.

Works perfectly up and down in a well networked areas.

Does anyone have the apk for stock Android email app? If anyone does please upload or send a link, I found for Eclair on some other forum.

If someone can get this for Froyo and upload, should be helpful since I know many people would like to try this out.
