[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Firmware aside

one thing i do know, is that there are 2 Caller ID services now in day in all Canadian/USA telcos (not sure about internationals)

the standard old caller ID if paid or included in your plan, you will always get the phone number of the person calling you, unless the dialing person brocked it.

the NEW caller ID which is usually an extra fee to enable or included in your plan, will show your the caller ID name (even if it's not in your address book) if it's not broked

so from your experiment, it appears that some firmwares are missing the support for the NEW caller ID feature

Looking for an app that acts as a trackpad and keyboard for my Mac OS. I used Logitech on my iPhone to do that and I loved it. sadly Logitech doesn't have one for android. When i used it with the mac, they keyboard had like apple key, etc... Is there an app for android that's remotely good? Thanks!

I'm seeing a bunch of Nexus one OEM batteries on Ebay going for between $12 and $30. The lower end of the price range are setting off my To-Good-To-Be-True sensors. Is there a counterfeiting issue with these batteries?
[Nexus One Accessories] safeplayer22:
Nope. It works but it is definitely not as good as the original battery. I bought the package (battery and battery charger). Both works but charger takes pretty long to fully charge a battery (about 5 hours) and the battery does not last that long. I would say around 12 hours with decent usage.

But I got it just as a backup so its not bad at all for the price.
[Nexus One Accessories] ohgood:
every single extended battery i've purchased has been exactly what was stated in auction.

my 2400Mah batteries for the g1's were as promised.

my current 2600Mah batteries for the N1 are as promised. syncing 4 email accounts, 3G(hspa), HD video recording, flash camera shots, and 2-3 hours surfing with flash = a solid day to possible day + 1/2.

as far as the normal capacity batteries, i really don't see the point in buying them. 4 hours and then a charge ? no good.

asthetics maybe ?
[Nexus One Accessories] cpm:
Exactly my personal experience too.
[Nexus One Accessories] zok-star:
Just bought one from this person - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330476620397&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Free battery from HTC

Just call HTC they will send you a free replacement during your warranty period.
[Nexus One Accessories] Tostino:
I went with an ebay seller, got a battery that only has about 60% capacity of the original. I then emailed the seller, and he refunded my money. I now have a free backup battery in case I ever need it for an emergency.
[Nexus One Accessories] RussianSolja:
Links please?
[Nexus One Accessories] ohgood:
sorry, it's been a while since i bought those nexus batteries, and almost a year since the G1 batteries. given the time frame, the ebay history is gone, or i haven't found it yet anyway.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqstasy:
Im new, I just unbranded my htc desire. It was originally Telus branded A8182.

After I unbranded the phone, it says my phone is A8181 now. Is this bad?
[G2 and Desire Z General] t3rabyte:
Well, I really wanted to love this new G2. I gave it a shot. I really did. But after all the things that annoyed me (below) I decided to go back to my Nexus One, since it's really not *that* much of an upgrade. Luckily I was in my buyer's remorse period. Here's what annoyed me:

- Constant crashing in low signal area

- Apps crashing (I'm lucky I woke up early today because I set an alarm, but instead woke up to a red triangle on a crashed and hung phone)

- Sub-par GPS (mine seemed to take forever to connect)

- Weak hinge (though I do love the hinge idea)

- Crinkly button keyboards (a couple keys sounded weird when pressed)

- Dead pixels on two different G2's

- Wonky app behavior (couldn't read an email msg yesterday without rebooting)

- Lack of USB tethering or WiFi hotspot without root

- A little too heavy for me (though the build is nice)

- No fancy neoprene case like my N1 ;)

I went through 3 G2s. TMobile helped me out along the way. I do like the G2 and I'm sure some of this stuff will be fixed with OTAs. Oh well...at least I can upgrade to the next best thing down the line.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
You can use pdanet to usb tether without root.

But, to be honest I'm in the same boat as well. I like the g2 a lot but I am also in my buyers remorse. So I'm considering returning it and sticking with my vibrant. Not sure yet...

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
Haven't had any of the issues you describe above (other than the weak hinge, weight and no case, ofc). I've never experienced it myself, but i'd surely be interested in finding out what the red triangle thing is all about. The other thread never got to the bottom of the matter.

The one thing I like about the G2 that is really a marked improvement over the Nexus One is the radio/antenna. Unfortunately T-mo being T-mo, there is still the occasional drop back to EDGE, but overall I seem to stay connected to 3G/3.5G much more, with more responsive download speeds. ymmv of course.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gilnino:
Never had any problems with my G2. In fact I love it. As far as the tether (lack of) I'm sure the g2 will get it. I believe there is a reason we have less than the promised 4gig of internal memory. (future updates) my g2 its fast and the occasional switch to edge is a tmo issue not the phone itself. But if you have an n1 you should still be satisfied. I'm staying with the g2 because I see some great things coming for it in future updates.

[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
The G2s must have hit or miss build quality, because mine's fine. I haven't had the problems that everyone seems to be complaining about. I can't wait until the complaints go away or dwindle either because they've been fixed, or the complainers move on to the next phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Theirs always complaints when phones come out. Nothing new. Same thing happend with the vibrant. Then vibrant people got the g2... now they complain about the g2... then their gonna go to the new mytouch hd... I'm sure they will complain about that and move onto something else. Endless cycle

Personally I have issues with mine but its mostly software. Which I'm waiting for a update I'm sure will soon come out for a fix. None the less the g2 is the best phone I've owned and I have no regrets with it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] mingkee:
I also wanted to get G2, but no native tethering support disqualified even I can purchase PDAnet.

I tried both (easytether and PDAnet) and both don't support cradlepoint router, so there's NO WAY to tether wirelessly without rooting.

Nexus One, on the other hand, is one of my favorite daily phone. It can be rooted easily, but I found the cleanness within even I don't need to root. Frankly, if Nexus One has more internal storage (>512MB for applications), I even wanted to buy one more!
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Doesn't support cradlepoint?

Only issues I've had with PDANet is setting to HTTPS sites... mainly because I'm too cheap to pay for the full version, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] t3rabyte:
Yeah I think it's the heft that turned me off along with the hardware/software problems I had. The N1 is just so thin and sleek. I used the G2 keyboard sometimes but really only just to play Quake3 (by the way if you turn mouse sensitivity way up it's quite playable with the touchscreen or trackpad). And I played around with one-click root and wifi tethering for my iPod which actually worked pretty well I must say. But like I said, the N1 man...awesome phone. Looking forward to blindtype.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
Sorry to hear you had so many things go wrong. I'm very happy with mine and have had no issues at all. Seems like some people have no problems, and others just can't get a good working phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Turbo Brian:
interesting. im beginning to like the g2 more than my n1. ive only had the phone since last friday, but ive not had it crash once. in fact, aside from the reboot when i swapped out sdcards, its been up and going 24/7. no weird app issues either. my hinge is nice and tight as well. i never used the tethering/hotspot on my n1 so im not missing much there.

its a little weighty but no overly so. my only gripe is no holsters/beltclips available yet. im stuck carrying it in my pocket for now. things i like over my n1 include zippyness (feels a bit more fluid moving around the phone), better screen sensitivity (thought the n1 wasnt bad, it sometimes has quirks), readable in the sun and in my car dock, and im really starting to dig the physical keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] texasaggie1:
Surprisingly I like the g2 more than my nexus. its faster, cooler, and I love the keyboard. The nexus is an awesome phone but it looks like I'm sticking with the g2.

Btw I'm running enomthers rooted rom. I've had one spontaneous reboot. Tether works perfectly. No bloatware.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Adam5400:
The more I read, the more it seems that it is mostly hit or miss quality. My G2 has great battery life, hasn't had one force close, the GPS locks on within 5 seconds while inside, etc. It does however have a couple specks of dust under the screen, a stuck pixel and the standard issues (Although I just use my G1 case with it, which it seems to fit in better than the G1 did.).
[G2 and Desire Z General] jcX4ever:
Wow, bad luck must have hit you hard.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] gilnino:
You should root with visionary. Not only just a temporary root. You can root and unroot at the push of a button when you want. If a ota comes out just press one button and you unroot. Feel like tethering one day. Press one button and your tethering. You will see quite a bit more from the g2 in the future trust me. I've head things so if you can hold on to your g2 brother do it. Just a little advice from one who knows

Hahaha I couldn't have said it better
[G2 and Desire Z General] tdtylert:
I like my g2 only thing bothering me is my really loose hinge and when i turn off my phone and turn it back on sometimes it freezes at the htc screen, tried to get a new one from radio shack but the chick said I have to go back to the radio shack I bought it from....wack, hopefully I don't end up with random reboots and dead pixels
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
I would exchange if I were you. I expect a device to be in perfect working order when I buy it. "Occasional" freezes are unacceptable - it won't get better with time (only worse.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Android1126:
Crashing issue: FIXED

App Crash: FIXED

GPS: ON POINT within 10 seconds

Tethering and Hotspot: FIXED (after OTA)

A few of the design/hardware issues are obviously unable to be addressed, but my G2 is the illest phone I've ever owned. You should have hung on to it. It's definitely an upgrade from the N1.
[Android Apps and Games] Metalspree:
It never worked for me ,rather than putting me to sleep it kept me awake ..

Wow that's so bad for you, I use it for afternoon naps because of the outside noises. I keep tuning when sleeping. This app could have been better with more sound tracks packed.

[Fascinate General] Breakthecycle2:
Let me start off by saying I'm not a noob. I have or had every main/big Android phone there was.

Anyway, here goes. I installed Voodo, had an issue so I then restored via Odin. I replaced the kernel as well. After I did this, I had an internal memory issue where it showed 0 mgs. Fixed that. I then tried to re root the device with the one click root through adb. All the steps completed but once it got to the step where it said about 5 minutes and gave you time, it basically stopped. The phone would reboot, but my command prompt window would give me an error. Log below. What am I doing wrong?

Is your device in download mode? All Samsung drivers installed properly? :)
[Fascinate General] Breakthecycle2:
They were, I will try again though. How do I get to download mode?
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
Here is the root, recovery and etc thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790004

I just looked over links...and putting into download mode is required for clockwork recovery. Root should be good. Check out the link and see if this method is better than the one you are using. :)
[Fascinate General] Breakthecycle2:
That was the other issue actually. I flashed CWR through Odin, but when I get to stock recovery, it says invalid signature...I assume because I'm not rooted?
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
What you need to do is when you get into stock recovery, select "apply update.zip from sd card" and it should take you to cwm. When cwm flashes, it puts an update.zip onto sd card...don't delete that under any circumstances. :)
[Fascinate General] Breakthecycle2:
First, thanks for all your help.

Second, when I flash CW through Odin, and go to stock recovery, it says, "no such file or directory". I had this working perfectly the first time, but since I installed Dirk v2's kernel, everything got all screwy. Still cannot get it to work...lol.
[Fascinate General] Breakthecycle2:
Finally seems like I got it back now. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] cremator75:
When I started playing with my Hero I did not know about making a recovery image. Now I want to put it completely back to stock unrooted. Would it be possible for someone to give me their factory recovery image so I can flash mine back to factory stock? Also, would that make it so the ota's would work again?
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
You can get the ruu from the sprint website. Just flash it and it removes your root access.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA General] cremator75:
Would that also put all the factory apps back on too? I want to make it like it was just bought.
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
That's exactly what the RUU does. Once you do it, you can't go back, i.e., you can't nandroid back since there's no custom recovery to boot to.
[Hero CDMA General] cremator75:
This sounds exactly like what I want to do. I found the file on Sprint's sit, but the instructions are a little vague, like what mode do I put my phone in when I connect the usb? Could someone give a quick rundown of how to do it? I just want to make sure I do it right so I don't brick my phone.

Also, will this work if I already removed some of the Sprint apps?
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
Just plug in your phone and have it on, it doesn't matter what screen it's on our what rom or apps or anything that you have
[Hero CDMA General] cremator75:
Thanks guys, it worked like a champ!

Update: preview 2

Preview 2 is out! This release is single player only, with basic AI. I also improved the board interaction system. Double-tap to zoom in or out, and long press to place a settlement/city/road/robber. Let me know if there are issues or you have any suggestions.

Check out the details and apk download on my site:

Let me know how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] Vanquish46:
I haven't had a chance to play this a lot. I don't like the vibration, which occurs even when the phone is in silent mode.

I am fairly certain the vibration signals the computer moving. Perhaps a quick pop up or something could instead let the user know about the ai.
[Android Apps and Games] theeil:
The vibration and/or beep signal the beginning of a human turn. I intended this to alert you to pass the phone to someone else if you're playing with friends. These can be controlled based on your android settings ("Audible selection" and "Haptic feedback" under "Sound settings.") I'll add an option to override those in the application.

I have a new version (almost ready) that adds a bunch of minor features, including a turn log as you suggested. It also lets you set player names and colors, and have a combination of human and ai players.

I have a buddy working on some new textures. Saying he's a better artist than me is an understatement. See screenshot above ;)

I have a short list of bugs to fix and some things that came up in testing. I'll have another release out within a day or so.
[Android Apps and Games] Vanquish46:
Ah, I understand that now. When playing alone it seemed pointless, but I can see how it would be useful with friends.

* Set number of points to win game

* Show past game results

* Persistent settings and player names

* Turn log

* Crash and stall fixes
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
i really like where this is going!

used to love the game and this version is getting my attention ;)

two things about the current version:

the "build town" button shows because i have the right recources (i guess, see my second point) but i am not able to build one because of the rules (i've only got my two initial towns and roads so i need a road first)

-> shouldn't the "build town" button show only when i am really able to build one?

i used to play the real game a couple of years ago. got used to having my "resources-trading"-card (how many x do i need to build y) visible at all times so i could glance at it while trading. i see that you implemented a menu showing when pressing the menu button in the last version (good start by the way, wanted to suggest that too) - it would be great if you could implement another button in the menu that shows to display the "resources-trading"-card (for lack of a better name)

more feedback to come.

EDIT: see below

i need a statusboard with the following information to make decisions and refine strategy:

- player points

- how many resources a player has (not how many in each category but in total - i think according to rules this is possible)

- all the stuff displayed on my own info-screen (in-game-menubar -> "info")

a suggestion where to place this: remove "info" and "turn log" from the in-game-menubar.

instead display "status" (or whatever name) to the left of "options".

status is a full-screen display of player stats.

via tab it is possible to switch to the other players, per default my own information is displayed (like when pressing "info" in the in-game-menubar)

(very) rough mockup attached.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
new post because it's getting too long ;)

_especially_ when moving the robber i need to know those things:

how many points and how many cards does everybody have?

what's the cost of a town/road/etc.?
