Hello, apologies if this has been answered, search is not working (returning a message - search is busy try again in 5 minutes)

I'm receiving the notifications for the OTA update but I don't want the update.

There's only 2 options when I receive the update notification - Next, to install, or postpone (for a max period of 1 day).

Pressing the home key gets me back to the home screen - however, I have a notification icon hanging in my status bar now which "clear all" will not remove. The icon looks like to data arrows, one blue one red, facing different directions with a little check mark inside.

Rebooting the phone launches the update notification window again prompting me to continue or postpone - no option for "no thanks, and thanks but do not ask again".

I was under the assumption that I would not be seeing any notifications at all for an OTA update as I am rooted and ROM'd.

Is there anyway to get rid of this update available notification in my status bar?

Also, is there a way to disable the phone from automatically checking for available updates?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Vibrant General] Qwijib0:
Wondering the same thing myself-- searching the bionix thread yielded no results. I assume we're seeing the OTA notification because bionix 1.4 has the JFD base.
[Vibrant General] questgraves:
Same problem

I got rid of it on my phone by going to data/fota and deleting both delta files then going to software update and letting it try to update (it cant nothing there) but...my wifes phone is being more of a pain. i tried another method of copying the "done" status file into fota and it didnt work. now the first method listed above wont work on hers either lmao...she's mad
[Vibrant General] smutek:
Yep, that is probably the case. I ended up getting rid of it by updating to bionix 1.7. :)

Thanks for the responses.
[Vibrant General] Qwijib0:
Other than "upgrade" is there an answer? Sticking with 1.4 for now since I don't want the AOSP messenger, which replaceed the TW one to fix MMS issues.
[Vibrant General] smutek:
Sorry, nothing that I know of, aside from what was suggested above.

For what it's worth I'm not digging the new messaging application either, but I can live with it.
[Vibrant General] superchi:
I actually got the update pushed to my phone while using bionix 1.2 but chose not to upgrade as I was concerned about lack of compatibility. I flashed bionix 1.7 and the update icon is still there, but under Settings it says no firmware when checking the update.
[Vibrant General] s0niqu3:
Hi,

I'm not sure how to go about removing the notification after you've already received it, but if you don't ever want to receive notifications of OTA updates, delete the following from /system/app

wssyncmldm.apk

wssyncmlnps.apk

And delete any corresponding .odex file if you still have one. Then reboot, and goto settings/applications/manage applications and uninstall the weird com.sec.****** files (you should have two.)

reboot, clear cache & dalvik-cache

cheers, =)

Thanks Jocelyn!

Whats the deal with the 0002 and 0003 hardware versions. From what I have read, the 0002 phones were released on or shortly after the release date of the Evo. However, I purchased my phone at the beginning of September and have a 0002 hardware version.

I haven't been able to find any recent information on this, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've been tweeting with a guy whos currently using wp7 and this is the info he gave me for anyone wondering about downloading from the web browser

@sedp23 you can definitely download pictures to the pictures hub. Not sure about audio yet. Let me try.

i gave him a link to try to download a song

@sedp23 ok, direct mp3 links download and play. But doesn't look like I can save them permanently to my library on the device.

@sedp23 yep I can play it on the device. But no option to save it.

@sedp23 yeah I guess it's downloading to some temporary location. Images you can tap and hold then select "save picture". Not mp3s.

now keep in mind he has a developers handset so maybe this might change come the final version but if the mp3 is downloading and playing on the device im sure there has to be some kind of way to save it and add it to your library. If anyones out there with a wp7 can u add to this? is there anyway to add the songs u download to your library?
[Vibrant General] dalepa:
Got excited after updating to JI6 this afternoon and the GPS locked on with 10 seconds, however tonight I went on a drive and the GPS wouldn't lock on after minutes. Finally gave up and rebooted which resolved the problem.

I'm also seeing some issues with the GPS being off by 100's of feet which is causing maps to reroute. Seems like mainly when stopped at a signal light.

Hopefully rebooting solved the first issue, but I not happy that there is still problems with GPS after waiting 2 months for a fix

Also the LAG seems worse. LAG needs to be the next top priority

:mad:
[Vibrant General] smutek:
That's a drag man, sorry to hear that. Maybe consider installing a custom ROM? I'm running Bionix 1.4, no lagfix because I'm getting zero lag. Rooting and flashing was very quick and my phone is now very responsive.

GPS is still hit or miss, but it's mostly hit and overall is working much better.

To be honest flashing this ROM has improved my phone ten fold.

Maybe give it a try. Just a thought, and sorry again to hear about your issues.

[Vibrant General] Plato56:
enter *#3214789650# and switch to MSmode, This solved the accuracy problem for me on JI6.

I don't know why samsung insists on seting Standalone mode for the GPS, Swiching to MSmode was the first thing we did to fix the GPS months ago.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Very strange. My phone is significantly faster, even better than before with OCLF. No stuttering at all.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
Bionix 1.7 is the answer to your woes
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Did you **** with any of the GPS settings prior to updating?

My GPS is working great, tracking, navigation and all. Lag? What lag?

Also, why did you think this topic deserved another thread? We already have one on this topic.. thanks.
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
Is anyone seeing their GPS just start wondering off? I'll be setting perfectly still and the GPS will start jumping in one direction by 100+ yards each time and it'll keep going, like yesterday I ended up over 200 miles away from where I actually was. Oh and instead of being on the street it has me in parking lots and fields. Not seeing the fix on my end.
[Vibrant General] The_wolf88:
It's working like a charm for me after JI6 !!!

Can you guys tell me your exact settings on the LbsTestMode? Not just the usual ms-mode/ supl.google.com/ 7276.. I need to know all the settings you have cos I messed with mine and want it back to stock
[Vibrant General] oka1:
No problem here

I must be lucky, I am using Frankin Twiz final and a simple fix and i have 5-7 sats locks and 10-15 m accuracy. From all the reading...... depending on how you customized your phone, it seems to me that you have to customize the gps fix as well, as I see no absolute fix by anyone that works for all.
[Vibrant General] rhblock:
GPS

I got the update. The GPS worked for awhile but now it doesn't lock in. What's the best way to solve the problem?
[Vibrant General] dalepa:
Yes I have the same issue. I also noticed that when at a stoplight the gps will drift which causes maps to recaculate routes.
[Vibrant General] dalepa:
No I did not **** with any settings, ji6 straight with no mods anywhere!

Where's the JI6 GPS thread that is reporting major GPS issues?
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
MS MODE helps only in decreasing the TTF/TTFF. it won't help with the accuracy issue both the OP and myself are having.
[Vibrant General] vuvsion:
I don't see the USB icon after pluggning the cable. Anyone seeing this issue?

Preface: I was rooted with lagfix using OCLF. Prior to the OTA, I unrooted & uninstalled lagfix. My phone got locked up in Vibrant/Samsung screen during the OTA installtion like many others.

I used Odin to return the phone to stock, then download & flashed the JI6 file using Odin. GPS, compass, Task Manager, HD Camcorder, Youtube HD, Media Hub, etc are working fine ... however, no USB icon.

[Epic 4G General] bigdbag:
Is it just me or does everyone's Epic's have terrible brightness sensor hardware/software? My sensor seems to have about 2-3 settings of brightness, and goes from completely dim to super bright in random situations and nothing in between.

Cyanogen just posted on his twitter that in the past he changed the sensor's abilities through coding modifications. Could we do something of the sort for the Epic's sensor?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Agreed. The sensor is horrible. Also, the transition between brightness settings when set to automatic is near instant instead of slowly transitioning, which makes it more obvious that its changing brightness.
[Epic 4G General] Vanquish46:
I would agree that it is terrible. Mine also send to sometimes turn auto brightness back on if I've turned it off.

It would be great if someone found a way to mod the code for it!
[Epic 4G General] cfiblc:
I thought the screen was just too bright at its lowest setting. Fortunately someone came up with a fix for it that can be found in the developer section. As far as the automatic sensor I would suggest turning off "Power Saving Mode" in the Settings>Sound & Display as well. I've read somewhere that this causes the brightness level to vary on its own.
[Epic 4G General] Linuxuberant:
Hehe, that was me. Stay tuned for more. I have coded up and will post, tonight, a new version that will let you modify the brightness curve (from the command line, for now)

As for automatic mode, I have figured out how to modify some aspects of it at the kernel level, such as the ambient light thresholds at which it switches to a different brightness level. By modifying the brightness curve, we can achieve at least some more control. But to make it really good may be significantly harder.

Personally, since manual brightness is always available by swiping horizontally on the status bar, I have little desire to use auto mode anyway.

- linuxuberant
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
The sensor is actually pretty sensitive. It's just that Samsung chose to have a really small range of brightness steps for automatic brightness.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
More like they installed an awesome dimmer switch and lights, but the fixture only does three modes; high, medium, and still pretty damn bright.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iVisionX01:
Is it AMOLED, Super AMOLED, regular OLED, or something else?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekoulak:
SLCD
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Hop2o6:
its S-TFT (LCD)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iVisionX01:
For some reason to me the SLCD of the G2 looks so much better than the AMOLED on the Nexus One, I'm not entirely sure why.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Hop2o6:
compare the G2's S-TFT with the Vibrant's SAMOLED in a Tmo store.. even tho the G2's is nice and sharp,, the Vibrant's is beautifully vibrant and the colors POP.. and blacks are.... black (aka OFF).. instead of dark grey (since the backlight is still on) from LCD screens.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
I prefer the N1's amoled. Something about true blacks.. mmm.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekoulak:
I have to disagree with you guys about amoled or samoled looking better. Colors are unrealistic and it strains the eyes more. I do agree that the blacks are black but I preffer slcd. Once again its my opinion and to each his own
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
Yup you're right. But, before the N1, I was coming from a very old ATT Tilt. So AMOLED looked way better to my eyes. As for the G2, it definitely reproduces colors better. I just loved the blacks and also prefer over saturation to under.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstrike:
With me although I love the deeper blacks on the Vibrant and amoleds in general the pentile matrix kills it for me. The LCDs on the iPhone, G2 and Motorolas look sharper. I notice the pixel density difference and it bugs the heck out of me. The color pop on the Vibrant is fun to look at but is not as natural as the SLCD in MY opinion. Both screens are nice. If the G2 had the contrast of the Vibrant it would be perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Hop2o6:
Yea.. Samsung needs to stop using pentile matrix.. but its not really noticable on the vibrant from normal viewing distance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snuggl3s:
Yea I love the SAMOLED but this SLCD is so sharp! Luv it just a bit more lol

fRom Snugs G2 ^.^
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
If I'm not wrong, you can't stop using pentile matrix and stick with S-AMOLED. Pentile Matrix is due to the nature of AMOLED.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Hop2o6:
Samsung uses the RGBG Pentile

why can't they just use the normal RGB layout?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siberslug:
NOOO not even close but that depends on what your calling better ?

The G2 SLCD looks sharper but that were it ends. The nexus one's AMOLED has better colors, better contrast and it seems brighter.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtl171:
Because when the Nexus One was released AmoLED screens were expensive and hard the make hence the pentile matrix. Cheaper though you sacrifice ppi
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Hop2o6:
source? i wanna see how its hard to do the normal RGB.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusivebyte:
I read it's because blue LEDs burn out very fast relative to the other colors, and making them large makes them last a lot longer. The PenTile layout was a compromise to allow large blue pixels but have a higher resolution than making all of the pixels large. It was nothing to do with the cost.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Hop2o6:
now this makes sense.. i read and heard that the blues burn out quicker than R&G, thus making the B bigger.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSoHungry:
I'm totally with you, I put my G1, G2, and N1 side by side, and my N1 had the best looking screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtl171:
no use if the N1's screen is going to die in 4 years. less if you are a power user.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekoulak:
What makes you say that?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itrustme:
I own both phones and the samoled screens on the galaxy s are unmatched. I would even go as far and say I think they're better than the retina lcd screens of the iphone. I don't se how someone can say that lcd is better than samoled. Lcds are so washed out in comparison.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:

Does anyone know of a better contacts manager? Hopefully one that can show google groups. I would really like the ability to link my Facebook friends with my contacts, sort of like the way the HTC Sense and Moto Blur does it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] smasraum:
I don't know if there's one that does what you want, but there is "Contacts GroupU" that works with Groups, and "Star Contacts" that is more of a stock replacement. I use both.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ihateusernames:
I may not fully understand your question but you can add your facebook contacts through the contacts settings. I did it on accident and my contacts were flooded with everyone in my facebook friends. If that is what you are looking for, you do it through contacts}settings}display options.

If this isn't what you are, good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] atlp99:
The stock contacts can be linked with facebook and twitter, just sign in to the apps and there are options to sync your contacts. If they do not automatically sync you can manually link the contacts, contacts > edit contact > menu > join.

I do think sense did a better job of automatically matching contacts than the stock contacts app on Froyo, I had to manually link more contacts on the G2 than on the Mytouch Slide.

Just wondering if anyone has got Sonys Crackle app working on the X10? Some say its 2.x only but if u download thru appbrain it doesnt show up as 2.x. I managed to dl it with appbrain but it tells me network error when i try to open it. Also, is this restricted to US only?

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
So I just tried looking up info on it... appears US only, and this is from the FAQ:

Select Crackle content is currently available on Sprint TV, Verizon VCAST, AT&T Mobile TV, FLO TV and VuClip.

Crackle will soon be expanding into the iPhone and Android markets. You can find updates regarding this expansion on Crackle’s blog.

While Crackle is available through the PSP, there is a limited selection of content available. We are working to become more compatible with the PSP.

The strangest thing is Sony's official picture shows the X10, so it can't really be 2.x+ because the X10 isn't yet. But, the picture is a terrible photoshop job.

It's too big to embed, find it here: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef01348802c5ea970c-pi
