Yes the "new" froyo from Kies (JPM).

Will try to wipe, just updated mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharken:
Market will return if you do a Factory Reset of the phone.

Beware that all apps and settings will be wiped too. If you want to backup Data+Apps first, MyBackup Pro is a good choice.

Not taking any chances i also backed up Photos/Videos/Music just in case something went wrong.

So the procedure for upgrading to Froyo (2.2) should look something like this:

1. Backup Apps + Settings (optional)

2. Backup Photos/Videos/Music (optional)

3. Upgrade firmware using Kies.

4. Restore Market by doing a Factory Reset.

5. Restore data (optional)

Enjoy the new firmware :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carrr:
Market also missing for me in Norway :(

Is it possible for someone who has done a wipe to extract their market APK (if there's such a thing) for the rest of us to install? I'd really prefer not to have to wipe.

Which version of kies you are using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharken:
To upgrade the phone to Froyo (2.2) i am using Kies 1.5.1.10074_45

And as far as i know it is not possible to bring back the Market app, without doing a Factory Reset. Maybe if you rooted the phone you could achieve this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carrr:
Are you able to elaborate on the mechanics of this? Is the market itself an app that could potentially be installed, or is it tied to the system somehow? (How would rooting the phone help?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharken:
I was only speculating that it might be possible to bring back Market, if you could root the phone. I have no idea if it is possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
Well, the tricky part is installing backup software without a market place...

Christ I hate this phone. It has been nothing but a pain in the ass from day 1.

Update: It is possible to buy MyBackup Pro directly from the rerware . com web site.

Restore Android Market without hard reset

I did the following and it resurrected Market:

Instructions copied from google forum:

8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8<

To get the Marked app back, without doing a hard reset.

Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro

To make it less complicated load the Estrongs from here: <HERE_WERE_URL_BUT_XDA_REJECTED_IT_FROM_THE_POST>

transfer it with e.g. bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.

After installing the FIle manager.

1. Go to internal memory root

2. navigate to /system/app

3. Locate Vending.apk

4. push on it to install it

It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work

If you still encounter Force Close or download issues. Do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)

1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

2. Chose All

3. Find Market

4. Push on it and select Clear data

Now it should work as advertised

8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8< 8<

BTW, I use to install applications with Dropbox. Just copy apk file to your dropbox folder

on a PC or Mac and then on your Android phone run Dropbox application and directly

click the apk appearing in the file list within the application. Fast and neat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiggity:
...and now I can't get it to enter Download Mode nor will it even attempt to boot up to the Samsung logo screen. Is there anyway I can put some sort of recovery file / console onto my SD card so I can restore my system like that?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I'm sorta desperate >_>

[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:
Your ****ed if you can't get into download mode. Unless you had clockwork, and can get into it. Im assuming you can't, so its time to call sammy or return as a defect.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] CaliCL9:
So now that we have a 1 click root using VISIONary, I have a couple apps that use root that I use that could help you to save some battery on your Vision G2 because they have helped me considerably.

After using these apps charging my battery to full.

44-48 hours off light use

18-20 hours moderate use

10-12 hours heavy use

1. Autokiller (free on market) I use the moderate (30,35,40) preset

2. Watchdog Lite (free on market) I also use the moderate setting and put the threshold to 30.

3. After installing these two items from the market i also did this trick i got from the evo forum this also helped with my reception.

- Goto dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* (DO NOT press send) wait a second and you will get the test menu. In the test menu choose 'Phone Information' scroll down and choose on the first drop down - GSM auto (PRL) (for high speed data) or GSM only (You may get 3g if not use GSM auto (PRL))

4. SetCPU (Search this site for the apk) Once we get full root and the roms/kernels start coming out i will instruct those of you who dont know how to use SetCPU. But for now just download it because this is the biggest battery saver IMO

I will be updating this thread let me know if you guys have anything to add thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] etjrowe:
You should really explain to people what you are doing in step 3. Also I believe there are MUCH easier ways to accomplish the same thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] asarousi:
Y5 Battery Saver found in the market turns Wifi off when no known network is around and turns it on in locations where you were already connected before.

The app remembers the locations automatically. All you have to do is to turn the Wifi radio on at each new Wifi spot. GPS is not used.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] clockedtouch:
Ive been testing juice defender and must say it rocks!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] OFinch:
thanx..

I tried step 3 and hopfully it works helping my reception.. so far so good.. now since we have 4g or HSPH now.. will typing this slow it down? Do you want to explain a little more about step 3.. but so far so good.. I am in a basement so ANYTHING to get better reception for me is a good thing.. I honestly feel the G1 got better reception in my basement then my G2 but I hear they are coming out with a radio update and other updates that should really help my reception and random reboots.. Thanx a lot man
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
ive become a big proponent of extending life as much as possible, both through the use of system settings as well as a few apps. Here is what I use on my N1 to save juice.

1. never use LWpapers. as a matter of fact i usually erase all of them from system/app just to free up space, saving only the lwpaper picker in case I want to check one of them out in the future.

2. not sure if this applies, but if g2 is amoled, try setting your BG image to solid black. Display is usually the #1 killer of battery life for me and for the N1 black bg seems to help. also usually helps if you turn display brightness as low as you can possibly stand it.

3. turn off any functions not in use-ie-BT, Wifi, GPS, etc. I also have had good luck with Wifi Buddy(in Market) which kills wifi after your phone has been turned off for a certain length of time. Wifi kills my battery if i leave it on without Wifi Buddy to kill it, as it remains on even after your phone is off.

4. turn off any syncs you dont use regularly. manually sync them when needed.

5. ive always also done away with any screen changing animations, not sure if that helps really, but I imagine it does in some small way.

6. if you do use setcpu, use it in the on demand setting. pretty obvious, but you prob dont need to run at full speed all the time. this setting will make it ramp up when needed.

7. im not sure about using a task killer application honestly. there was a bunch of speculation at one time that killing tasks automatically actually uses more battery, as the killed process relaunches constantly. Not sure if thats true or not, I use one, but only to kill frozen apps on occasion.

Hope some of these things may help. I know its not exactly the same hardware, but i bet many of these things apply to the G2 as well. Enjoy the G2, looks like a great phone!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] s30zgt:
does setcpu help without full root and custom kernels or are those needed for setcpu to have any affect on battery life? i installed it and currently using the recomended specs option and seeing if it has any affect throughout the day.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] popokrew:
A couple points on #3:

I wasnt able to use the *#*#4636#*#* but I know the menu you are referencing. An easier way to get to that menu is to download "Anycut" in the market. Then make a shortcut wherever you want to "phone information". I have this on my front page.

The second thing is that setting it to "GSM only" is for EDGE only operation. You wont get 3G or HSDPA. There is already a place to set "EDGE Only" in the regular settings menu if you dont want to use anycut. EDGE only does save battery but at slower speeds. I have found that if you have spotty cell service or if you normally see the phone switching between H and E, you are wasting a lot of battery. Using the same menu you can also lock the phone to 3G by setting it to "WCDMA Only" in the phone information menu. Normal operation is "GSM Auto (PRL)".
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] soundslikemitch:
Will this also help with just getting 3g? I find that my G2 doesnt pick up 3g as much as my N1 did. I think this might be because it gets confused...... I have never seen a steady enough HDSAP+ connection so I'm okay if I never see it again.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] nguyen925:
Yeah its freakin awesome.

Before w/o juicedefender, in idle mode, I was going to school from 8am-4pm with light use and texting and going from a full charge to about roughly 40 to 35% was ridiculous.

Today after installed jd and then going through the same school shedule and add in there about a few hours (8am-9pm) battery was still at about 69%.

Apparently this application turns off the data enabling while the phone is locked but there is an option where you can run process of less than 55 kb/s without issues, and not to mention the fact that you can also enable data usage with any app. Friend asked me why I wouldn't want internet while the phone was locked and simply enough I just told him, battery is greater than email.

Hope that helps anyone whose looking to extend your battery life.

Hi everyone,

I got a replacement SGS today from T-Mobile after I bricked my hardware locked phone. It didn't come with JI6 like I had hoped, but it did have the new market with auto updating. If I pull the app and post it, do you think y'all can use it? I don't know how to make an update.zip file...

[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
I'm trying to decide between the Evo and Epic, as I'm sure many are, so I won't get into that...

But one of the biggest factors for me now (having owned a Mogul, Touch Pro, and Touch Pro 2) is the development scene. I would really like the one that gets consistent attention on these forums.

When I compare the numbers from the Epic to Evo forums, the Evo looks like the clear winner. It has been out longer, but the number of threads/responses seems overwhelming.

However, when I consider all of the Galaxy S phones, it seems like they have a large following, at least equal to that of the Evo. But should I be comparing it like this? When someone comes out with neat modifications/ROMs etc for one Galaxy S phone, is it usually easily used on one from a different carrier?

Thanks for reading.
[Epic 4G General] swamp goblin:
At this point its kinda hard to judge the epic's community, just because its pretty new still.. I'm actually switching to the evo tomorrow, because 1) the keyboard issue on the epic and. 2) the evos community does look pretty nice, not gonna lie haha..

But from the dev standpoint, most roms on other galaxy devices don't really appear on the epic, and I'm guessing this is because we have a keyboard and not full touchwiz yet.. but its still hard to judge at this point. Once it gets froyo things will probly move a lot faster, if it ever gets froyo......... :(

[Focus General] rexian:
According to Microsoft QSD8250 is the chipset. Now how bad is it? I see people are saying it'd be better than HD2 since it'll have the perfect drivers from MS, but still wonder how this compare with the phone I am planning to get, Captivate, or an iPhone 4.

What prompted MS to choose this over so many newer (and possibly better) options?
[Focus General] Reihnold:
My guess: WP7 has been in development for quite some time, so at the start of development they choose the top processor that was available. But I think that this forum focuses to much on the processor and specifications, because in the end, the whole package must be convincing and that includes the operating system that has been optimized for this processor.

Furthermore, the current specifications will be the lowest common denominator for quiet some time (perhaps until WP8) and all apps will be optimized to run satisfactory on this specification (AFAIK the 20 second start-up rule for apps will be measured with the current specification). Newer processors may speed some things up, but the current hardware will be the target platform...
[Focus General] rexian:
The development must have started before this chipset was launched, but you are right - this was most likely the target platform.

There are not many 3D games available though, the basic working will be fluid I know when I check at the store in few days. My worries are about the 3D games that will be launched later. If the experience with those is not as good as other platforms, MS will be in trouble. Better hardware will fix the issue in future but the reputation will be ruined and be stuck for a while.
[Focus General] Cruzer1:
Captivate is more powerful, mainly due to its GPU being about 4 times more powerful than the qsd8250s adreno200 gpu. Though, all WP7 devices will have better looking games since Captivate runs android... And everyone knows android games look crap, no matter how how powerful the hardware is (due to devs having to make their devices run on low end hardware to get more sales)

The IP4 is a better comparison because it's hardware and software have been fully engineered to run along each other, very much like WP7 devices. While it does have a more powerful GPU compared with the QSD, there wouldn't be much difference; the adreno 200 pushes about 22million triangles per sec, where as the sgx535 pushes about 28million triangles per sec. Whether developers even use all those polygons, I'm not sure I've seen.

Though epic citadel on iOS as well as this upcoming game called Aralon sure looks good.

Aralon link: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/10/oh-man-aralon-for-ios-is-gonna-be-good/
[Focus General] rexian:
Thanks Cruzer. Now it makes sense. 22 mil vs 28 mil is not a big difference. Were they running at the same clock-speed? I hear A4 processor in iPhone 4 runs at ~800MHz, so may be they both perform in a similar manner.
[Focus General] Cruzer1:
Not sure how much the GPU is affected by the CPU. I think it's more to do about the speed of the actual GPU, but don't take me on that quote lol.
[Focus General] Halabeaster54:
I have a Captivate and an iPhone 4. Im getting rid of both of them to get a HD7 or Focus. The iphone works flawlessly and isnt buggy in the slightest bit, the captivate is very choppy and i couldnt take it after a while with the lagging even after i upgraded to froyo. I would go with wp7 to be different and because it looks fun even if it uses an older processor. The hummingbird and A4 are both top of the line and its going to be hard to compete especially with each having a different os.

I recently received an X10. I was wondering if anyone else has a problem with switching from video to camera mode and vice versa? For me, it's unresponsive and takes forever to switch back and forth between them. Do you just click on the icons? Maybe I'm doing it wrong (though I can't imagine how). If I can't fix minor issues like this, I'm going to pay $105 for a Captivate as a replacement.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinL:
Ok, thanks. I guess I'll change my phone to either a Captivate or another Xperia. I really don't feel like waiting for 2.1 or the "kits." I know it won't fix a lot of things like multi-touch and 16m colors.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:

As there are about 6 different versions so that doesn't help, and might have been resolved if you updated from an older version.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinL:

It was one of the first things I asked as you'd mentioned replacing it, and as I've already said, that or any other issues you were having might have been resolved with a FW update. Anyway, you've swapped now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] R0b3rt2:
Help...!! I'm new with WM developing,

There are 4 questions I'm about to ask about HTC HD2 using WM6.5:

1. How to disable hardware function and handle their event 'on press' for every HW button (such as Home, Window, Talk, End and Back button)?

So far, I just able to disable it using :

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]

private static extern bool UnregisterFunc1(KeyModifiers modifiers, int keyID);

[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]

public static extern bool RegisterHotKey(IntPtr hWnd, // handle to window

int id, // hot key identifier

KeyModifiers Modifiers, // key-modifier options

int key //virtual-key code

);

Buttons that I can successfully disable are Volume Up, Volume Down, Back, and Talk.

There is no way I can handle or disable Windows, Home and end button.

I have a trick by disable Window button:

IntPtr hTaskBar = FindWindow("HHTaskBar", null);

EnableWindow(hTaskBar, false);

But when I try to lock and unlock the screen using end button, Window button function will not disable anymore.

So far, some forums mention about SHCMBM_OVERRIDEKEY and handle the message by using Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.MessageWindow,

and again I still don't know how to attach MessageWindow to my foreground application

2. I'd like if my panel finger gesture behavior works as well as ListView or DataGrid. So, I found a library that can help me.

code.msdn.microsoft.com/gestureswm/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=3146

Unfortunatelly, it makes my controls in panel flicker badly. Do you have any other alternative?

3. To handle bluetooth, I'm using

[DllImport("BthUtil.dll")]

public static extern int BthGetMode(out BluetoothMode dwMode);

[DllImport("BthUtil.dll")]

public static extern int BthSetMode(BluetoothMode dwMode);

and InTheHand.Net Library to send data.

But since I'm starting with this device, I even cannot deactive the Bluetooth.

Can you help me with this Bluetooth control and data communication?

4. Since I'm using virtual keyboard as my input, How to define what kind of input panel it will show?

For Example, if my Textbox1 is focused, I have to show Numeric Keypad.

But if Textbox2 is focused, I have to show Qwerty keyboard.

Thank you very much.

PS : I'm using C# for developing the application. It'll be very good if you give me a C# example for those questions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] overlordmode:
I know this is a few months old, and I don't wanna ressurect it per-say - and i'm not farmiliar with the rules as it relates to posting on these forums, but i've been viewing them forever, and as a member for a few months at least, and i've got to say that disabling the END key is a must for the HTC HD2, especially for Android NAND. At present with my phone, and thousands of others, everytime we press the END button, the screen stops being responsive. Funny thing is, if i NEVER press the end button, my screen works great. I end calls using the screen, and i've installed 'Button Saviour' from the market to use the 'END' button virtually on-screen, and I wake the phone using any of the other 4 buttons, save for 'END', and i get no problems. It's the Damned signal sent to the screen from the END button that causes the screen to disable and never re-enable the digitizer - I am just supposing these things, I'm in no way or shape a developer... Just something to think about?

This could be the end to thousands of HTC HD2 end user issues relating to lockscreen lock up in Android or otherwise...
