[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
Ok so I found this usefull tut on the wiki from cyanogenmod, and I followed it. Everything went great until I had to flash dangerSPL. So I've put the 2.22.19.26i Radio on it, flashed it, and then I flashed the DangerSPL. I was going absolutly crazy when it was stuck at the t-mobile G1 screen... I Can acces the Recovery AND the bootloader (Amon Ra 1.7). Ive tried Whipe -> Whipe data/factory reset. But I'm still stuck on the G1 screen after that. Is there a step that I'm missing or can I call it my own personal brick?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
You did install your ROM after flashing the SPL?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
No, So I have to flash SPL and then directly flash ROM?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Excuse me the question, but do you know, what you are doing? Do you expect, too, that a computer, where you repartitioned the harddisk is booting the former OS without any problems?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
Ooh, that explains a lot XD So DangerSPL is there to repartition the memory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
Ok so did the whole process again, after doing the SPL, I flashes cyanogen mod 6.0 and google apps. Now I've rebooted and it is stuck (Or does it just takes ages) on the blue Cyanogen(mod) cirkel with the rotating thingie
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
You sound like a real newb.

You should install spl 1.33.2003, which uses stock partition layouts and is fully compatible with the DREAM RADIOS (and thus won't brick). To alter partitioning, use the CORRECT tools, specifically, the partition table can be handed to the kernel on the command line. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Unfortunately DangerSPL is "misused" to repartition the memory of the phone. Nowadays there is no need to do so (links to alternatives can be found in my signature), but everybody is suggesting it, so everybody is using it.:(

About the boot time: It will take long to boot, for sure several minutes. If you see the bootimage at least the kernel was loaded without problems, i.e. first step is working. If you want to see what's going on during the boot-phase, you can try to logcat using adb (-> it's a remote debugging tool).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
I sound noob because I am at this stuff. Got my phone in yesterday...

And so if I install spl 1.33.2003, I will be able to get Cyanogen 6.0 on the phone. The tutorial said dangerSPL expanded one pertition and that that was necessary. Is this also so with spl 1.33.2003?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
You cannot flash the 1.33.2003 and use CM6 directly. To use CM6 with 1.33.2003 you need to "patch" your kernels using Firerat's mtd-custom partition layout. It consist of 2 zip files which are used to modify your recovery and your boot images (down in my signature is a link to the thread where it is explained in detail). The advantage of doing so: no risk to brick your phone and the partition layout can be defined almost as you want. :)

Another hint I would like to give you and others starting to root and to flash new ROMs: before rooting and flashing, try to read as much as possible here in the forum. Especially the "sticky" postings which give you some introductions. It will help you to get an understanding of what you are doing and how it is working. Bricking a phone is more easy as you might think ...
[Desire General] vukis:
Hi,

I start record video when focused to at macro range. Object is sharp and clear. But if i try normal range the object becomes blury and camera doesn`t refocus.

And vice versa if I start in normal range and try close up the object becomes blury.

Is this normal?
[Desire General] ljesh:
Yes, that is "normal". HTC Desire doesn't have autofocus for video recording. The only ROM I have seen that has autofocus for video recording is the CyanogenMod, but it doesn't have Sense.
[Desire General] vukis:
Thank you for confirming this :)

Hey,

im using Energy ROM Standard: Energy.TOPAZ.21916.Sense2.5.Oct.08.7z (quite perfect ROM for my needs:)

I would like to disable weather animation on home screen. Help pls. :)

T.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccaparli:
if you select a wallpaper as "animated wallpaper" (it can be a non-animated wallpaper), your weather animation will be disabled.

in another words, if you do not select a wallpaper as "weather wallpaper", there will be no weather animation. you can select an ordinary wallpaper as animated;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakerle:
Thanks a milion times:)

I already tried that, but on the list i had only 3 animated wallpapers. Thanks to you a give it a one more try, and now i tap on albums and woalaa ... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccaparli:
i meant that also, if you select from one of those 3 animated pictures, the animation also make the device slower. the "animated..." word distracts users I think:D

nice to see your problem is solved ;)

[Touch HD General] ALPO1:
I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, this one seems more appropriate.

First of all, this forum has been very helpful. I almost find that there is too much information available here, boggles the mind.

In any case I have just upgraded to a Touch HD from a Touch Cruise (the first edition). The Touch Cruise was a Great Phone, still is – I was just looking for an upgrade (upgraditis). The model I supposedly obtained (EBay Auction for $161) is the T8285, which is perfect as I am USA bound on the AT&T Network. For all intensive purposes the Phone is working as expected, looks great too!

My first question (I know asked before) is that the phone says it’s a T8282. I realize that any past ROM updates can do this – I do not have a clear history of the device. Looking at the Phone Network selections I have four choices (see below). It does show the UMTS Bands AT&T Operations on, so can I assume that this is an T8285?

• Auto

• GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100)

• GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

• UMTS(2100+800)

Next: I do not have the Data Plan, nor do I want it. It’s just too pricey and I really do not need it (I have WiFi available at home and work, which appears to be working great). A lot of Forum advice here goes into available Programs to shut off/block the Data from working. Right now I have only two options selected (Turned On) under Connections, the Phone and WiFi. There is a Tab for Data which I left OFF. This seems like a no brainer but as it hasn’t been discussed as an option to the No-Data desires, am I just simply missing something?

I know this is purely taste, but is there a “widely” preferred Screen Saver out there? I have had my Touch Cruise for three years and the Screen is Immaculate due to persistence/diligence on protecting the Screen, but I have noticed that there is differences in quality – LARGE differences! The one I liked the most was the HTC Branded Screen savers. They resisted scratches while not effecting operability. I am now using “Fellowes” Generic savers, which scratch relatively easy.

Of course I have other questions, but I will continue to work them out searching the forums for answers as needed. I know there are people who hate when questions are asked that have been answered before – I did research the above but either found not enough or too much contradicting information.
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
If you look under the battery, the model number should say BLAC100 or BLAC120. BLAC100=T8282, BLAC120=T8285.

Even if Data Connection is OFF in comm manager, the phone will still connect to the internet as needed. You'll need an app to prevent the data connection from starting, or put an invalid APN in connection settings.

But a large pack of the cheapest screen protectors off ebay and replace them as they get scratched?
[Touch HD General] ALPO1:
Waaaah: It appears I have a T8282, not a T8285 as described in the Ebay Auction. It clearly has the BLAC100 identifier under the battery. However, this may be OK as I never intended to opt for the Data Plan anyway. Other than not being Data accessible for AT&T is there any other differences between the phones - even ever so slight? Like I said I am surfing the WEB via WiFi, making and recieving calls, and accessing the other programs without issue.

I am finding that obtaining a "non-Data-Plan" GPS program for these phones is difficult (obviously my only option now). I like TomTom (had Navigator 6 on my HTC Cruise) but the Nav 6 is not "fully" compatible. The Nav 7 is compatible but does not have available USA Maps. CoPilot Live V8 is out there, but Web reviews leave less-than-desireable reports for the Maps - but the program itself does gets high marks. If TomTom does not give some indication for getting the Maps I will most likely go with CoPilot.

I like the phone and plan on keeping it (I did reply to the EBay seller to see if he can do anything, but do not expect much if any). I see a french site referenced in these forums with a large list of compatible Software but can not current register to his site for the links (others are apparrently having the same issue right now).

If there is any advice/information out there I might find interesting please feel free to feed it back.

Thanks.....
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
There's no difference between them apart from the addition of different 3G bands, the T8282 came out first in Europe and has the European 3G bands, the T8285 is the 'rest of the world' version with more frequences available.

The T8282 will still work on GSM in the US, but you won't get any 3G, which will only be a problem for voice if you're in 3G-only area. Seems it's been flashed with a T8285 ROM which shows the US 3G frequences, but they won't work on an T8282 as the hardware isn't there to support it.

There's quite a few sat-nav programs available, off the top of my head, there's TomTom, iGo, Route 66, Destinator...
[Touch HD General] ALPO1:
That's what I fugured. However now that you mention it - is AT&T (or will they) be going toward a 3G Only coverage phylosophy. If that is (or will be) their intention this phone will eventually be useless. I find it hard to believe that a changeover like that could take place overnight, but it does make business sense (kind-of). Why maintain multiple systems (in this case Bands) when just your top-of-the-line one will do. They also in turn force the populace to keep upgrading phones pleasing the manufacturers. Kind of a Software thing - only supporting the latest product, forcing upgrades.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vampirodolce:
Hi there,

I was wondering if Android devices had their linux kernel built with USB Mass storage support enabled.

What I mean is I would like to connect an external hard drive to my Samsung Galaxy S, mount it from a root console and see its contents from the phone.

I've seen there are very cheap USB adapters on the market (type A female - micro USB type B male should do the job).

Would that be feasible?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] b1czu:
To connect any slave device to your phone you need to have Host USB support. As far as I know Galaxy S doesn't have this and can work only as "slave device".
[Epic 4G General] sleepy8594:
If I get an ota update notification do I accept or do I not and do a install from zip?
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
You use ODIN to revert to stock using ODIN the froyo odin files will probably get upped right after the update starts pushing. If your used to a custom rom I'd just wait a few hours after the release and devs will have custom roms based off of it
[Epic 4G General] sleepy8594:
Thank you. Do I still do a complete odin wipe with custom a 2.2 rom?
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
Its normally good practice
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Totally agree. Once Froyo released the ROM will start coming in. Right now the guys in here are knid enough to make 3 or 4 2.1 ROMs for their own (and our) enjoyment. But as soon as 2.2 releases ROM dev for this phone will get a bigger push.

sleepy8594 , just wait about 60 days or so and you should be pleased with your options.
[Epic 4G General] sleepy8594:
Appreciated, thank you for the help.
[Epic 4G General] sbrown2680:
Okay, one question along those same lines.

I'm rooted but using a stock rom. Do I accept the OTA update or do I wait?
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Personally I would wait *in case* out root exploit is closed.
[Epic 4G General] sbrown2680:
Gotcha! Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] pg2k3:
It would probably take more than just a few hours since Android 2.2 is based off a newer kernel version.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
I've just upgraded from a Topaz to the Galaxy S I9000, and it's been great so far. "So far" being less than 12 hours. However, after reading the forums here, I have my doubts about its performance in the long term.

I understand that the forum will be biased; This is a place for folks who like to hack and tinker with their devices, and those who seek a resolution to a problem that the manufacturer won't resolve, so I expect to see a lot of issues posted on the forum. However, when the issue involves features I use frequently (GPS predominantly) I get concerned. Further, there's the issue with an Android 2.2 release date; I see posts saying it's ready, posts saying it's not, posts saying Samsung are fixing bugs, and more worryingly posts saying Samsung make phones for people to buy, then abandon them!

So, my question is:

"You have the option of being released from your contract without penalty, or have an unlimited term money-back guarantee from your supplier, covering issues stemming from the build quality of the device itself, or Samsung support being useless. If you like, an unlimited warranty offering you money back. Would you, knowing what you do now, return your Galaxy S I9000 and acquire a different model of phone?"

If you answer "Yes" could you put a short note on here saying why?

Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayuki:
Short answer, no.

Gps can be an issue sure, but I've found it better with the updates, I use it every day to track my bike to work and its very good.

But lets be honest, this is a phone, one of it's other functions is GPS, I wouldn't expect the camera to perform at the same level as a stand alone camera, so I think some of the complaints that the GPS takes time to lock isnt fair, if you want something as fast as a standalone GPS buy a GPS	unit.

As for samsung updates again I think the general feeling is somewhat over the top.

It would be understandable if there was no news, no betas and no hope, how ever there have been updates, many many betas and we know it's coming, this to me shows that unlike older sammy phones we will get the updates (2.2)

I'm not a sammy fanboi, I came from mapple 2/3g 3gs,

I've had my phone since launch and I still love the many good things about it, I brought this sim free and im due an upgrade in 3 months, but unless the samsung beam is out here ill be sticking to my sgs untill late next year and the sgs2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Yes I would but ill be getting the same model again, I just want my IMEI fixed.. it was rude of samsung to put a bomb on JPC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
I wouldn't call it rude.. It's your own fault for messing with leaked pre-releases...

But I would, but only to buy a new one again (because the casing is getting a bit rough). I guess I might also consider the Desire HD too (since it apparently has more RAM, a product of evolution), but realistically, I'm happy with the SGS now.

Sipdroid seems to have released 1.6beta too, which supposedly targets the I9000 compatibility issue, so if it works, then when my skype credits expire, I'll be even happier.

Personally, I think the lag is mostly overrated still..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
Thanks for your input so far folks.

Just to point you to the last line of my question; Would you swap out for a different model of handset or refund? This isn't about replacing it for another Galaxy S; I want to know who's happy with it, who isn't happy with it, and why.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hinderbrus:
I wouldnt mind to change the phone mostly cause of bad manufacture... the frame make so much noises on top ( at the usb gate).

Wont even mention gps cause its a known problem :)

tbh i am thinking of taking the phone for repairs if they dont fix the gps and claim a refund or a new phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkinBobUk:
Personally I would change the phone.

After the dissapointment of having a phone which in reality only half works and thats with hacks/fixes, I wished I had waited a bit longer for a Desire HD,etc.

The only plus point of this phone now to me is the screen size and quality.

If the desire HD, etc can match the screen then i would swap in a heart beat.

In hindsight i should of known samsung would **** it all up and never actually fix the problem,i thought they would being android with the system using android. Looks like i was wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Oh, heck no...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
this phone is too good to be replaced anytime soon.

there is nothing better out in the market yet, specially nothing with a SAMOLED screen
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devabhishek:
hmm.... in simple words samsung galaxy s is the most advanced and looks better than any other android phone , it has the biggest screen and is very light weight , yet a very powerfull device .. so all these features makes it the best available phone in the market today..

so now coming back to your question..

"Would you return your Galaxy S I9000 and acquire a different model of phone?"

there is no choice right now.. all the other handsets like htc desire, lg optimus, wildfire, etc etc... do not match up to samsung galaxy

and i think the only better phone than samsung galaxy s right now would be

htc desire hd.. and i m sure it might be surely atleast 25% more expensive than the galaxy s.. so there is no competition between the two..

so the bottom line is that .. samsung galaxy s is the best in the class right now :):):):):):):)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
^^ I concur! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
and Desire HD does not come with SAMOLED screen

what can i say... SAMOLED screen is like better than any other high you can get on the market, you get the taste of it once, and you keep coming back wanting more

anything less will just not give you the same high.... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Personally, I don't think there is enough information yet to judge if the new Desire is better...

Realistically, the devices are mostly the same (if the GPS is in fact fixed), and on both of them, I'd probably end up installing Cyanogenmod anyway. I purchased my phone as a tool, and the last few days have truly made it more useful (with Skype being released officially, and Sipdroid being apparently fixed in 1.6beta).

Obviously though, if newer devices with better hardware are released, obviously changing phone makes sense.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devabhishek:
.............+ 1 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devabhishek:
yup... thats true
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
I've cheated slightly, and not posted that I've used an HTC Desire for the past few months, and I really liked that phone. Sense UI is phenomenal, the phone itself is wonderfully capable and I know it has Froyo out on all the UK carriers now.

Saying that, I've not had the GPS problem (slight deviation on the way home yesterday, but nothing serious), and as everyone says the screen is divine. Still, I can't help but think that the serious lag issues (which are noticeable even when performing simple tasks like moving between sections in Android Market) is just one more example of how Samsung roll; Release great hardware, cripple it with buggy software, forget about it while you work on the new shiny-shiny.

I'll see how it fairs over the weekend, and check up more on the Desire HD, and hopefully between the two I'll have a wicked phone I enjoy for the next couple of years!

Thanks for all of your input, it's genuinely appreciated :)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] johanb2b:
Hi,

I've just installed an Exchange 2010 in our internal environment and can not set up ActiveSync from a HTC Hero.

My Hero is updated with the latest version from HTC.

It works if I install a Third-party app for example RoadSync or touchviz and the testexchangeconnectivity site goes through without any warnings. We have a real SSL-certificate no self-signed.

I asked a question on HTC.com and got the following response:

"Thank you for Contacting HTC.

The Issues May occour because "Exchange 2010 Is Not officially compatible with our products yet, so if you wish to sync to an exchange server successfully I Will Have to Recommend That You use an EARLIER version of Exchange."

I Asked then if it applies to all Androidphones from HTC and then received this reply:

"Unfortunately yes, this involves all of our products though Windows Mobile devices had more success with Exchange 2010 Than Android."

I Can not find a solution to this. I have tested native Android Mail.apk and it works to sync but not the calendar, which means that it still sucks.

I have now tested to root my phone anf installed a different ROM:

"[ROM] FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.1 [ROM] Updated 2010-10-07"

But it did not work either. Does anyone know if there is any good Froyo ROM with HTC mailapp for HERO?

This issue is because the HTC mailapp do not follow the standard for ActiveSync devices against Exchange 2010 SP1.

Do someone have a solution/workaround for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] scheermes:
Some problem here. Tried 6 or 7 different ROMs and Android versions without succes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] johanb2b:
Sorry I forgot to update this thread that I solved it on my server/phones! Perhaps not the most elegant solution but it works as a workaround until HTC fixed the mailclient, or our old phones dies..;)

What you must do is to delete the Default ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy on the server.

Run this on the server: Remove-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy -id Default

Then i think you can create a new ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy and assign those users who have phones that support Exchange 2010. I have not because i only have HTCs now.
