If they use stuff that is only in froyo, then you can't use them.

Soon froyo will be out and there is jpk that working fine. So you have to flash utter or wait.

If you need it so bad for 2.1 then contact the developer and ask him. Maby give him some money for his time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] opensourcefan:
What about those who are stuck with 2.1 for while, I know my options but it's not good business IMO. It would be reasonable for 1.x to be coded out but 2.1 is still very prevalent.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dottydotdot:
If it's a paid for app, I'm sure they'll try and cater for the market, especially when you're going to be paying for the app. If it's a free app, then you'll have to pay them for their time to make it backwards compatible.

They're just future proofing. Instead of writing something for 2.1, they're going to write it in 2.2 and won't have to update it for another year or so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
Well its up to the developer.

I understand why they don't want to support older firmware, when they do stuff for the new one.

Have you paid for the app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] opensourcefan:
I posted this up just for a general discussion, I can't even see 2.2 only apps in my market but I have run into a bunch that I would like to buy but can't for obvious reasons. The question is what's going to happen when 2.2.1 comes out, or 2.3 etc. It took a while for the appstore to adapt to backwards comp and it's even more important now that iOS 4 can't be installed on older devices. Hopefully those with not so well supported phones won't suffer. It will be always be a small market that's negatively effected but I think for the over all health of the market it would be nice if some effort was given to backwards comp.

I agree dotty, for a free app you can't expect the dev to put in countless hours for nothing in return, then again, ads do make $$ as well.

I know nothing of how different 2.2 is under the hood and I guess this may be the underlying cause.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
Well i think it's still up to the developer. If you want the program in a different firmware i guess he will make it if you pay him for the work.

I cannot get my evo to connect to any GPS sats. When I open navigation all it does is just sit there searching for GPS, it has been searching now for 45 mins. I am running CM6 but I also have the problem on rooted stock 2.2. I have tried it with the Snap 7.6 CFS and BFS and no difference whatsoever.

I have tried the trick with the ## code and that did nothing as well as GPS Status which doesnt help either.

I need GPS to work I utilize it every day. Anybody have any ideas as to what else I can do? I JUST got this replacement phone last week and I really hope its not a hardware problem.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
I've been having this problem since day one after installing my first new font- the phone displays any long words as square symbols. I thought it's just the font but it appears in every new font that I've used since then other than the stock android font.

Please help me get rid of it. It's so annoying not be able to see file names.

BTW, I've never attempt to change screen resolution or system font size.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wergeld:
Try changing back to the default font.

If that doesn't work you may have to nuke all your fonts and try and pull out the default system fonts from a firmware dump.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
It only works for default font. As soon as I switch to a new font, they pop up again. :(

Hi

just got a galaxy s on tmobile in the UK.

It's good but it seems that lots of images in the browser and displaying in low res, they all look blocky.

It's happening in apps too - the thumbs of peoples faces in facebook are blurred/blocky, images from the engadget app are blocky etc.

I've compared to another galaxy S and the images on that look fine.

Would anyone have any idea whats causing it? thanks

Edit - It seems to be intermittent too. For example, if i do a google image search, the thumbs are sharp, but if I click on a pic and it goes into the slideshow view all the images are REALLY blocky. If I click the link to the original page were the image is coming from the image loads up fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spoonboy:
It seems to be my carrier, tmobile.

When i put other sim cards in the phone it works fine.

Very annoying, makes buying a nice phone like this for web browsing kind of pointless.

Anyone know of a way to bypass this?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
i assume your not rooted? ok first thing you need to do is look in the android development section, READ the sticky on how to root, make sure you understand everything before trying, once rooted you can flash a custom recovery and custom rom, but take one step at a time, and make sure you understand each step before doing anything, or you are gunna end up with an expensive brick. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikewong27:
I used SuperOneClick v1.4 to root and to "Enable Non Market Apps" on my Captivate (running Froyo). I first clicked on "root" and everything went without a problem. I rebooted my phone. After this, I tried to "Enable Non Market Apps", but it did not do anything. It gets stuck at "Waiting for Device". I noticed that my computer does not detect my Captivate as well. I tried re-installing the USB drivers for samsung and nothing. Now I cannot use the three button combo to go into "Download mode". It was working perfectly prior to using the SuperOneClick v1.4.

I also noticed that before I used the SuperOneClick v1.4, when I connect my USB cable into my phone, there will be a notification on my Captivate saying that an USB cable is connected. It gives me an option to mount my SD cards onto my computer. But after I used SuperOneClick v1.4, I do not see the Notifications on my captivate whever I plugged in my USB cable.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my computer to recognize my Captivate and enable "Download Mode"?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:

It usually shows up after boot but disappears later on once unplugged.

I updated to the new ji6 from samfirmware and don't have access to some apps like fandango. I have read through several threads. There are some people who received the ota that say they can see and download the missing apps, and other people that received it say they can't. The same is true for people who flashed the update through odin. Although, the problem seems more prevalent with people who flashed the tar file with odin.

Anybody have any idea why this is happening?

Hi all - I plan to use an unlocked bell i9000m on the att network. so i chatted with att tech support to make sure that my account was set up in a way to handle an unlocked phone.

We got into the following exchange about '3G markers'

Joe Goodson: Also, as that's an unlocked phone it won't get the 3G markers either. *Only AT&T 3G phones get those.

.

.

me : what does it mean 'does not get 3g markers'

Joe Goodson: The system provisions every 3G phone with certain flags. And that basically means if things get busy on the local towers the system will only allow AT&T phones to access 3G. Unlocked phones will be pushed down to 2G only.

.

.

me: is there any way to getthe markers on unlocked phones ?

Joe Goodson: Only if you have an AT&T 3G phone. *Once we update the device type the system adds the markers in.​

So my question is: is anybody using imported bell samsung galaxy in VERY BUSY att coverage (ie San Francisco) and can report about this 'get dropped down to 2G if you do not have the att 3g markers' business? is this somehitng that i should worry about if i plan on using the phone in commonly considered crowded markets?

thanks and cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
there are several guys here in XDA using the Bell model on AT&T

but i do not know if they are in a busy area or not, perhaps they can comment on this

I do know they all like the fact that the 3G on the Bell model works great and they don't get tracked, as the model can not be identified on the network.

basically they will never get over the monthly quota if they had a small data plan

thanks for the update on boston. can anyone from the bay area (san francisco in particular) with an unlocked phone on at&t comment? i would really like to use the bell version on at&t but am afraid that i would be constantly dropped to 2g speeds (see comments of att tech rep) in notoriously overwhelmed att sf market...

anyone can confirm or refute the story of the att tech guy?

I can't get it to install.

I have version 2.1, with superbeast that I used for the rooter.

I followed all the wiki instructions for the cognition, but it is not working.

The first time I tried using the rom manager to load cognition, it worked, but it would never go past install multi-csc.

Now I am trying it again and it won't work at all, it just stays on the screen when I try and reboot it.

Not sure what to do, should I name the cognition folder to update, and just do the volume and power button update way?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] beatb0x:
Alright this is gonna sound stupid, but I've done my looking around already. It's the same ol' Windows 7 USB issue that many people have had. I plug my phone in and I get an error message regarding it not being recognized etc...

The thing is...I've been using this computer for my dev'ing for like 6 months now without a single issue after the original driver work around. Haven't loaded any roms or anything for a couple months. ****, havent even plugged my phone into my computer at all. Nevertheless, it doesn't work anymore and I've done all the steps to try to fix it. Removed all drivers, downloaded latest driver (64 bit), updated, manually updated, etc... I've pretty much tried everything.

I saw a post regarding a bad power/date cord and that being an issue. My cord is sorta frayed at the usb connector, but seems to work fine so I really don't think that is it.

The only other thing I've seen is editing my registry. It's not that I'm worried about doing it, it just says it's a bit time consuming and I'm not positive it's the answer I'm looking for.

All I want to do is update to stupid CM 6 and sure enough my computer is laughing in my face. So annoying.

Any advice or help is much appreciated.

I'd definitely cover the bases with the USB cord, I've had 3 of the stock cords, all have gotten "frayed" at the USB connector and have stopped working for me numerous times.

edIT: Also, try removing other USB devices or switching ports. It may not be receiving enough power.

Shots in the dark, but have proven to be the cause of the problem enough times to warrant an extra 5 minutes troubleshooting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dynamicpda:
I had a hassle getting the Hero connected to Windows 7. I did so many things that I can't remember exactly what made it work in the end.

These are among the things I tried:

Switching USB ports. (Plug directly into machine.)

Installing and running sync (HTC provided Outlook sync).

Uninstalling android device (especially the unknowns) and updating drivers from Device Manager.

Googling the web for different versions of the USB driver.

On my system, when I plug the HERO to the computer, it shows up in three places under Device Manager:

Android USB Devices (HTC.Corp 6/10/2009 2.0.7.1 driver)

Disk Drives (microsoft driver)

Portable Devices (microsoft driver)

I hope some of this helps!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thesubliminaljuggalo:
That reminds me... When I first got Win7, I had trouble getting it to recognize my Hero as well. After some googling, I remember doing something like downloading both the Win7 and the WinVista drivers and replacing some of the Win7 drivers with a few of the WinVista drivers and then rebooting and that got my computer to recognize my Hero.

Not sure if you could find the same thing, but worth a shot.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] beatb0x:
Sorry!

I actually thought about that immediately after posting. Was browsing mulitple forums and just slipped my mind. If admin wants to move it, it's not a problem.

I'll investigate the usb ports. Shortly after discovering it was magically not recognizing my phone, a bunch of my usb peripherals stopped working. And upon reboot, actually reinstalled some of them.

I guess it could def still be the cord, too. Although, it charges fine.

And if it comes down to it, I'll just do it ota. Haven't really looked into it, but apparently it's possible. And at this point this usb crap is so annoying, it sounds like a great idea.

I've removed all drivers, all anything htc, and still can't even install the driver. Even if I point directly to it via "have disk", it gives some error about having the correct driver. I've downloaded mulitple drivers from multiple places, as well.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try a few more things and be in touch.

If you can, try it on another computer. It could definitely be the USB cable if it has been working and now isn't. It can still charge but not have data work because they use different parts of the cable

i've searched the threads and have not really found a direct answer to what I was searching for.. thus created this :)

curious to know.. is the xperia x10i capable of achieving any of the following (or will be in the future)

a) instead of the arc scroll for unlocking.. something similar to the iphone (slide)

b) password input (num pad) instead of the draw pattern

c) I know the image size for the wallpaper has to be (appx) 900 x 600 for it to fit properly in the background.. but any chances of having an image which is LOCKED on each page and when you scroll to another page.. it doesnt change?

d) having a different wallpaper for when the phone is locked versus home screen

e) changing background of sms screen? inserting image & changing the font bubble for the sender and receiver of text messages

f) double click functions (similar to iphone) where a double click can perform certain tasks such as opening a smaller window of music and changing songs

-- this would also apply to when the phone is locked (once again.. like the iphone)

that's all I could think of for now haha.. cheers

I installed GOTO and a question regarding that.. on the lock screen.. it shows (default) text messages, call log and gmail.. can I customize those icons.. as in.. instead of what is presently there.. put text, dialer & music?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Try SuperDial by Episode6 (off the market).. it's really good.

ADW is highly customisable - it will take you a while to uncover all it's wonders!.. first thing you need to do when you download it is go into the settings and switch off the "horizontal drawer" feature in the "Drawer settings" menu - doesn't work very well.. but the rest of it is really then down to you... and your wild imagination!!!

If you want to Root you can do even more, but I'm not that fussed about it personally (and I don't have that much spare time on my hands!)...

I downloaded DesktopVisualiser too (had to google that, couldn't find it on the market for some reason).. but that allows you to create your own icon (on your image editing software on your PC) and then assign an app shortcut to them - I created 4 red buttons for my actions buttons - at the bottom of ADW screen - for my 4 main acitvities - Call, Text, Email, Internet.. but you can also use photo's too..

Have fun!
