[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Do not just post here. Try doing things first yourself. Like making a wipe, rebooting a couple of times and so on.

Which firmware are you updating from?

And wrong section.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] autracer:
Flash first new jpm or jp6

After flash clockwork

After do the rest.

Important flash first fresh fw!!

how do i delet all contacts i want to start over and try and reload my contacts from my old phone (samsung highlight) i have more that one number for each contact and only one went on sin to new phone i want to try to reload sim then to the g2. If some one knows a better way to make the transfer that would be great.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
You should be able to simply go to Gmail, log in with the account tied to your G2, and edit all your contacts that way. Rebooting your phone after should update your contacts to match the Gmail contacts; if not, just give it an hour.
[G2 and Desire Z General] prp2:
Or you could also go into:

Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > Contacts Storage > Clear data

That will clear them all out, too.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] plutus:
after some time with the x10 mini I still have a few questions...

I've installed adw launcher as main interface.

-how do I get the calendar notifications on the home? a visual notification (not just the alarm) would be useful

-what dialer do you use? the default one misses the T9 search feature..

-I've installed chomp sms: in the conversation list only the hour is shown: is there a way to show the full date/time?

-I'd like to automate some features (such as vibration during office hours and flight mode at night)...is there a way?

thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] acemadmav:
i can help you with the dialer:

add a link on your home screen (or the bottom bar as you prefer) by long pressing directly on the home, select "other links" and then "select task" , "activities" and scroll down to find "smart search".

Following this procedure you will have a "smart search icon" instead of a wiget for searching contacts with T9.

ADW is the only launcher that can do that so far, that's why is absolutely mandatory for me.

The other options would be to invest little money to buy aTakePhone: wonderful applications in my opinion for such a thing.

sorry if my instructions are not so pecise but i'm trying to translate the procedure from my italian-language-based x10 :p

[Droid 2 General] snowblind64:
No, the cellular radio is different for GSM phones, not to mention the lack of a SIM card slot. It's a physical difference which cannot be changed with software.

Like others have said, the Milestone is the exact same phone but with a GSM radio. Or wait for the Droid 2 WE.

Hi Guys,

I've just bought a Galaxy S and I saw there are many fixes to improve the phone quality.

But I don't know If applying them, I'll void the warranty of my phone: so, can you please tell me which are the operations that void the warranty??

Thanks a lot and sorry for my english!! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
If you flash back a old firmware and upgrade it with kies then you should still have warranty.

Its a.little grey zone.

Basicly you loose the warranty when you don't use original firmware and kies to upgrade.

Hi everyone! I recently bought a 4GB Kingston class 4 microSD card, and my problem is this.. the Android OS runs kind a smooth, but I experience some serious music lags. When I try to play mp3z on WM it runs fine, but on Android it lags. It not a big set back, but it kind a frustrating, because when I listen to home 2h mix it lags very often. If someone else have experienced this problem please help, because this is the second 4GB card that I try on my HD2. The other strange thing is that when I use the class 2 2GB card, the OS lags, but the music stream is just fine... is it just me... or is something wrong with the card or the phone?

Hi, I have problem with sms. When i'am reading sms and trying to close it by presing ok button or X it just lags and sometimes for a long time. And the screen freeze up. And sometimes when i recieving sms the whole phone lags alot. How to make tu work it bettet?
[Touch2 General] leoccl86:
You can try a few things:

- disable conversation threading, you can either get Advanced Config or just edit the sms registry. This will make the sms client load and react a bit faster.

- install VITO Technology SMS-Chat. It loads very fast and is a new interface to your sms client.

- install Resco Contact Manager. Same as VITO's sms-chat, it is another interface for sms but a whole lot more as well, including a contact manager and even built in dialer.

think you can google all theses before u post a qns next time, there has already been quite a few threads on this before.

[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Ive seen people talking in complicated language about pit files and the like, but im new to Samsung flashing, so it all makes little sense.

Could someone please post a guide to flashing the tab, and the tools and resources needed!
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
its the same as flashing samsung galaxy s

but if you are very new to flashing i advice you to keep away from doing anything to the tab now as no firmware is perfectly flashing

i am trying to flash all firmwares available from one week but not able to get success in any firmware
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I am new to Sammy flashing. What tools are you housing? Why are others succeeding?
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
here you can find all the necessary information about flashing and flashing tools

as i said before these are not working other than JHA and JID firmwares

if anyone has successfully flashed other firmwares please post how you did it
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I beg to differ - samfirmwares is pretty criptic - they have 4 flashing toos, the filetypes and odin and everything else is not explained in any way.

If youve been flashing sammy stuff for ages it might be easy to plunge in, but for most people its way too arcane...
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:

[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:

[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
not to come off as a smartass, but phrases like "Remove the battery, then enter Device into Download Mode again as in step #3. then connect to the PC." really dont fill me with hope...

i would be more comfortable with one of our users posting a guide - its been done for many, many devices here at xda already
[Galaxy Tab General] clovis_ll:
exactly what i'm thinking. im not a newbie at flashing and im no expert either but seeing how the tab is a fairly new product, there is not yet a definitive guide into flashing it. i'd probably give it a month or two before custom ROMs are available and the idea of flashing the tab to be more attractive.
[Galaxy Tab General] cmloo:
I agree too that some kind soul here would post a stickie for us newbies on android. The video on samfirmware or the pdf is really deceiving and do not correspond well. I have been flasing my many Htc wm phones here on xda and have been succesful due to the pain and attention of the senior members guiding us with great step by step instructions including the dos and donts.

my first attemp on the tab failed miserably due to the unavailable information on pit files and reformat partion and this has given me a phobia to redo a second take after coming back with a reflased from samsung sevice centre. Sincerely hope someone can help us.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
whats more i cant see myself removing the battery :)
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Yeah... ftgg99... Tmo booklet says "You can not remove the battery."!

Also... I'm new to Android but getting all set to do what I need to do once someone figures out how to get a phone on the thing... thanks to all who are working so hard on that! Activate your paypal buttons!

[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Has anyone worked out how to pump the sound out of the front stereo speakers instead of the back one yet?

I've been fiddling with the recently re-appeared Sound Enhancer yet I still cant get any sound coming from the front! :confused:
[HD7 General] saldawop:
According to the comment on this link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5W-aAspPA8

they are not actually speakers, just part of the design.

Surely it would be a bit strange to have stereo speakers on the front as well as a speaker on the back?
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Funny you should say that now, I just checked the HTC website and found nothing on the specs about it, but I've been reading everywhere else that there are front mounted stereo speakers in pretty much every review, which kind of makes sense for the design....

And that's just one example. TechRadar, PocketNow and others are all saying the same thing. Ahhhh!
[HD7 General] saldawop:
Yeah I have read the same thing.

I dont have the phone ,so cant check it out.

Surely though if they were indeed stereo speakers there would be no need for trickery to get them to work.

I will admit thought the link I posted above is the only place I have read that they are NOT speakers.
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Hehe. Fair enough.

Mind you saying about trickery, half of the HTC apps havent been working up until today and even today some of them won't start up. So I'm hoping I've just missed something because the stereo speakers definitely would be a nice touch.
[HD7 General] Wallker618:
Hi, speakers have magnets, check with something metal...for egz. needle, it's ligth, check first with back speaker if it works and then on the front...
[HD7 General] one_mad_punk:
top front grill can lift a pin, bottom front grill the pin stays on my desk,

I cant decide if the pin is sticking to the top grill due to the strength of the magnet in the rear speaker, or if its due to a second speaker in the grill for when the phone is held to the users ear
[HD7 General] ruscik:
The needle test is not a good one. We know there is speaker at the top front for normal conversations yet my needle does not stick there at all.
[HD7 General] martoto:
So it has speaker on the back for sure. Do you guys really believe that HTC mounted 3 loud speakers on that device? :)
[HD7 General] Jim_1979:
I would say there's only the one on the rear and the one for the earpeice.

So far I've noticed the grills tend to collect dust/dirt which is VERY annoying!!!
[HD7 General] ruscik:
I posted support question to HTC asking about front speakers from reviews. Got reply yesterday that I might be confusing device as I speak about sorround unit.

I did tell them no HTC HD7.

However today I got a reply saying he looked at the device and other reviews and now knows what I mean. He will investigate.
[HD7 General] warpkid:
I believe there has been some confusion regarding the front facing speakers.

I reckon that although they look like speakers that are no more than grills for the earpiece and mic respectively. (which if you think about it makes sense)

I imagine the engineering side of HTC failed to properly communicate this with the press side, and people started assuming they were stereo speakers based on looks alone.

No where in the official specs does it mention front facing speakers.
[HD7 General] brummiesteven:
But the microphone is clearly next to the USB port on the bottom.

I have also saw a video somewhere where someone is reviewing it and points out that the top speaker is a speaker and the bottom "speaker" a microphone and the HTC person corrects him and tells him they're both speakers.
[HD7 General] tboy2000:
can't owners do a quick test? play some music then cover up firmly each speaker in turn (with thumb maybe) and see if sound gets muffled or low.
[HD7 General] ecj123:
there is no speakers at the front of the phone apart from the earpiece above the htc logo
[HD7 General] PJ11:
There are definately stereo speakers on the front, one at the top and one at the bottom under the grills. There is also a third speaker on the back, yes three in all!!

I have done extensive sound listening tests to confirm this and it is most noticable if you turn Dolby Mobile on in the Sound Enhancer section which gives a better stereo separation effect. You really have to play music on the handset to hear all three speakers.

The front stereo speakers are not listed in any of the spec I have seen but this is a complete bonus as far as I am concerned. It will even be a huge benefit for sat nav applications guidance voice when they become available.

Well done HTC.
[HD7 General] lumpaywk:
I have only just read this thread and would lik to mention my 2 cents. Yes the specs do not mention the front speakers however, they do mention virtual surround dolby mobile. now anyone would know that virtual surround requires at least 2 speakers ant opposing ends of the device otherwise how could it trick your hearing? I think that though it does not mention "front facing" speakers that there will be indeed 3 speakers or sort.
[HD7 General] Adam86:
Speaking of speakers, has anyone found that when linking to Bluetooth A2DP or 3.5mm jack the volume is really low? if I have it on in the car I have to put the volume on about 25 and the stereo on really high too and its quite distorted, doesn't matter which input but my Touch Pro 2 never had this low volume.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
That sadly means nothing. Virtual surround could be only available via headphones and they could still advertise it.

Funny I did notice that. However when I first copied my music files some were louder then now. I think Zune is forcing the Volume leveling as all my music files are now of the same loudness.
[HD7 General] warpkid:
Guys,

I think you are clutching at straws here.

Cover the rear speaker with your finger and take note of the sound coming from the 'front speakers'.

All you will hear is sound leaking through the case from rear speaker.

If you seriously think that the front speakers are actually speakers, then you must admit to them being the worst speakers in the world!

Also, the different surround modes (dolby etc) are probably intended for use with headphones.

Not speakers, just a bit of artistic license with the design
[HD7 General] PJ11:
Yes I have covered the rear speaker and the sound definately comes out of the front two speakers also and it is not sound spill from the rear.

Dolby Mobile is not just for headphones, if you check the spec for this it isalso for speakers on mobile devices.

I do admit the front speakers are not the best but please bear in mind they are small (ie not the length of the front grills) but for a mobile device are still impressive.

I have also found the audio volume very low when outputting to the car stereo through the 3.5mm headphone jack, did not have this problem before on previous HTC devices although these were always taken from the usb output, maybe if we use a micro usb adapter to mini jack then the output volume might be higher - must investigate!
[HD7 General] brummiesteven:
I can confirm the speakers work when in Dolby Mobile sound mode.
[HD7 General] warpkid:
Well I must not have as good a hearing as I thought as I'm really not picking up on any sound coming out of them at all. When I cover them it also doesn't seem to change the dynamics of the sound. Also with the volume on full if I place a finger over one of the front speakers I can't feel a thing. If I do that with the rear speaker I can feel the vibrations from the speakers clearly.

Oh well. If you guys can hear them then fair play! Must be my ears.
[HD7 General] loomx:
it doesnt come out of the "front" speakers, its easy to tell that its being transfer through the case, put your mouth over each speaker, and adjust your mouth and you will hear the resonance change, this doesnt happen on the bottom "front speaker" because thre isnt one.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
If there are front speakers they do not work on my one.

I got another update from HTC on that matter. In short sir we do not know if they do or do not have speakers and still are investigating. WTF.
[HD7 General] warpkid:
Ok something very odd just happened. I noticed that a crackling sound was coming from the rear speaker of my phone whilst it was sat on my desk. Iopened zune and played a tune and to my shock no sound came out the back.

This is where it gets weird. Sound was coming from the top front speaker.

So. There is a speaker there. Weird. I rebooted the phone and the rear speaker began to work again.

Its all a bit weird to be honest.
[HD7 General] pr0ph:
There is a new update to the Sound Enhancer.

Am I going mental, or are the front speakers now working?
[HD7 General] adamwebb28:
I've just tested this on my HD7 and I seem to be getting sound from the front speakers now. I'm pretty sure I didn't before the update came out.

The way I can tell is normally if you point a speaker away from you the music sounds duller but thats not happening. Theres deffinently a sound coming from the bottom of the phone.

Although, I still wouldn't say they are as great as the Engadget review seemed to make out!
[HD7 General] ruscik:
What ever HTC did I now get a sound from bottom speaker (next to usb) with rear spekaer covered or not. I did not get any with rear covered or not before.

I tested on music with all effects possible and on video with all effects and no effects. On video you can defo hear it with no effects.

Hm I might be geting as reply from HTC support about my speakers soon stalling till they fix it hehe.
[HD7 General] warpkid:
I dunno. I've updated the sound enhancer app and I'm still nit combined by the speakers. I suppose what I really need to do is play some test tones through the left and right channels in turn to really test them.

I don't have such audio to hand so if anyone feels like trying this themselves be my guest!
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Ohhhhh, the last few posts on this thread got my hopes up. I downloaded the update from the marketplace this morning and got.... zilch. Still no sound from the front, only the back.

Even the reviews mentioned sound from the front on HD7. I'm feeling left out! Haha.
[HD7 General] adamwebb28:
Have you gone into the Sound Enhancer and change to either SRS surround or Dolby Mobile? The front speakers only work in these modes.
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Yup tried both. And the normal. And then both again. And switching the phone off and on. I think my phone just doesn't like me.
