[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidoitid:
I was earlier having T959UVJFD firmware and then Kies proposed me to upgrade to T959UVJI6.

Upon initial firmware (T959UVJFD) the swype had only English & Spanish, while I needed Russian, & I successfully upgraded it with multilingual version Swype_1.60.36.8214_WVGA.

Now after upgrade to T959UVJI6 they proposed not only English & Spanish in swype, the version 2.2.4.2.10369 has bigger choice & even mic, but still no Russian. Currently the latest multilingual version of Swype I could find is Swype_2.6.47.11856_WVGA. So I decided to upgrade Swype.

Uninstalling the application appeared not so simple - even when I definitely remove /system/app/Swype.apk I still see Swype in applications list (WTF?). Executing adb uninstall /system/app/Swype.apk gives a failure error. And even after removing /system/app/Swype.apk and trying to install this new Swype_2.6.47.11856_WVGA I'm getting failure with the code INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE.

The only way to uninstall (so-so) the Swype was using Titanium Backup. But then after installing this new Swype_2.6.47.11856_WVGA it appears unusable - not only the keyboard doesn't appear but exception upon keyboard launch attempt is thrown. So the only way that worked was to install this Swype 2.2.4.2.10369 back.

What options do I have to upgrade my swype or to add Russian to it? Please advise.

Give this a try http://www.mediafire.com/?7bemb7dn4es79ii
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidoitid:
Same thing man. It throws the same exception when keyboard is required (launched).

The application Swype (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidoitid:
No solutions as for now. I decided to use an alternative to swype for a while.

The app is called "SlideIT Keyboard". It can be found on the market.

It has Russian language pack available as a separate download.

I hope T-mobile will release either version of Swype with Russian one day or will give a possibility to update swype. Waiting for...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V1taly:
I also want to install russian language in Swype on Froyo 2.2, and from what I read on the internet:to install swype languages, you need to

replace swype.apk in /system/app AND

also replace(?delete? maybe) libSwypeCore.so in system/libs AND

replace/(delete?) com.swype.android.inputmethod folder in data/data.

I tried my old 2.1 swype 1.58.33.7772 (from backup) using the above method, but it's probably not compatible, although it doesn't crash, it also doesn't show any languages to choose. I tried other versions of swype as well (where people kindly provided swype.apk + libSwypeCore.so) , and they worked showing different languages each time, but none had Russian :( Maybe Swype hasn't released a 2.2 compatible version with Russian language?

If anyone has android 2.2 and Russian language in Swype, could you upload Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypeCore.so from system/libs

Thanks in advance.

Fortunately with Froyo update from T-mobile I managed to replace default Swype with the new version Swype_2.6.47.11856_WVGA.apk
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
I bought a Galaxy S from Bell Canada in august. Made the update to JH2 trough kies. Had the GPS bug (locked fine, but was sometimes way off (1-3 streets off)).

I told Bell. They said they didn't know any GPS problem affecting their device.

I tried many differents things, but I still had the problem so I recorded tracks with both my Hero and my Galaxy S to prove that the Galaxy S has a bug.

I called Samsung. I told them that I had a bug with the GPS. They said that they were not aware of any GPS bug affecting the GT-i9000M (the canadian version).

I went to Bell and asked for a repair. Seems like I was the first in Canada to report the problem because they told me again that there was no report on such problem, so it must be a specific problem with my device. They give me a Samsung Omnia II for the time of the repair. Worst touch screen ever, almost useless compared to a Galaxy S.

My device came back "repaired" (what they did was a factory reset and allegedly a ROM update, but it was JH2 before and after the repair, so this is bull****). In short they did nothing but loose my time.

Of course, I still have the exact same bug, the repair guy probably didn't even test it.

I call Bell again. Shock! Horror! They admit that there is a problem with ALL Galaxy S. Finally! Not that I told them since August... And it's not only in Canada, according to the tech support agent, it affects devices from all around the world. And that I shouldn't worry because the update to 2.2 will be released everywhere in the world in November and will fix that. Great!

Oh wait. The update to 2.2 is already released in some parts of Europe. I am not even sure that it fixes the GPS. At least I have an audio recording of Bell telling me that the bug will be fixed with an update in November. Better than nothing I guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ca7846:
+1

Two thumbs up for your effort. Hopefully canadian sgs froyo update comes on November like the rest of the world....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] belayson:
Great job on the audio recording too, nice move ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emdoe:
Good job. Please keep us posted when froyo released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d3a:
sorry to say but some tech reps are more informed than others because they take time to do their own independant research. One tech i talked to barley knew a thing about the galaxy S, while another rep was fascinated by it and couldnt wait to get their own. Mine is in repair for faulty internal SD, lets hope froyo will fix the gps, as i didnt send it in for that issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Those who know something about the Galaxy S (and other smartphones) are the so-called "data" support.

1-877-328-2123 (choose language and then select the first option in the menu)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Viper717:
I agree data support are the only ones that know anything. I called customer service like 5 times before they gave me someone that knew anything, ala data support.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thurtig:
Well, I think that of course the response is "we haven't heard about any bugs". It's business -- they aren't allowed to admit to anything unless an order comes from the top to announce that a certain bug .. or a few bugs have been found. I haven't seen any admittals from Samsung that SGS is slow, laggy and the 2.2 update is crap. Or that there are any bugs at all. That would crash sales.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] neil85ae86:
Same here

I got pretty much the same info. been through the same ordeal. I don't think I can last til the end of november for a maybe fix that might not fix anything or might get pushed back to january or even february or??? At least now with them endorsing the issue it should not be as hard to fight for an exchange, maybe get a Z.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sbcmp3:
root your bell sgs, go to /system/etc, open gps.conf

change from:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

To:

NTP_SERVER=xtra1.gpsonextra.net

you don't even have to change *#1472365#*. I get lock to 10 sat in Montreal within 30sec. give it a try!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Well that's not the GPS bug I am talking about. My GPS locks just fine (as already said). The problem is that it is not always precise. But anyways xtra1.gpsonextra.net seems farther aways (mesured by ping times) than north-america.pool.ntp.org, so it should not fix anything.

And north-america.pool.ntp.org works just fine on my HTC Hero.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Well the thing is, when you know that there is a bug and you hide it to increase your sales, you do not deserve any customers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dillovic:
I am very curious as to what software you used to record that call?

You didn't use a Korean Galaxy S (SHW-M110S) by any chance, did you? Because its firmware has a native call recorder function that I would die to get my hands on, but unfortunately Samsung doesn't allow international Galaxy S users to flash to the Korean firmware :mad: Send me a PM if you know how to force flash it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
I am a proud user of the Asterisk PBX, which I installed on my OpenWRT router :). I used that to record, not my cell phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thurtig:
All companies do that. Focusing on all the bugs takes the attention from the good to the bad. Basic stuff. All the companies that made you any of the things you own operate on the same principle. This is business. This is life.

But this does not mean they are not working hard on fixing the issues -- believe me, they are. Our comments and complaints are very important in bringing these things out. Stuff that gets discussed here on XDA dev is _vital_.

I'm using Cog 5.5.

I've put the apk for launcher pro in \system\app, and renamed TouchWiz30Launcher.apk. Launcher pro still shows up in the task manager- and system apps usually don't. Is there anything else I need to do?

Would it be simpler to rename Launcher Pro apk to TouchWiz30Launcher?

Thanks,

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
if you are on froyo (which cog 5.5 is), simply push ANY other launcher to /system/app (you don't need to change the name) and delete the touchwiz30launcher apk. that's it.

[HD2 General] kidrythm:
me no likey, especially being a leo user since April that was forced to sign an "unlimited" data plan...

unlimited to 5g...lol.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Okay? Seriously it's not that big of a deal, just cut back on data usage.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
hardly spazzing out, just a bit peeved that the answer to lack of towers is to alter the service I am paying for and deserve.

rightly so per my contract...

maybe allow previous contracts expire that were signed before the throttling?

nah, for my $300 phone, and mandatory $30 month plan I deserve to be punished for assuming that the netty netzorz would be "unlimited".

it's not as if I want a red ferrari or one night with Angelina Jolie er nuthin'.

:)

(this phone sees more net tham my p.c. btw)

tmo since 2005.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
actually that's Tmo's answer to the problem instead of erecting more towers and honoring the contract I signed back in April...

"Sir, it's your fault we're too cheap to erect more towers, use less internet plz."

you missed your calling as a tmo phone jockey!
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Agreed, we signed for a specific amount on our data plans. Now I hear I'm going to have half the data limit I signed for.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Your data is still unlimited, you'll just be throttled to a slower speed once you exceed 5gb. So likely no different to the unlimited data you had before 3g was in existence.

I still think TMO's tiering/caping is the most reasonable in the industry. At least they aren't flat out cutting you off or hitting you up to pay for another 2gb bucket like other carriers. Though maybe an option to pay up to lift the cap would be a nice option for heavy users, but that might go down the slippery slope of them going that route and being like ATT rather than the throttling they are doing now

What would actually be nice is if they didnt just flat out throttle you at 5gb but throttle you with bursting ability. that way loading the quick email or light web page will still be snappy, but if you attempt any streaming or large downloads then you get throttled down.

What im curious about that hasn't been covered much is exactly what speed do you get throttled down to? do you still get 3g coverage, just throttled. or does the throttling turn off your ability yo use the 3g signals, leaving you stuck with edge coverage?

I may just have to test it out this billing cycle, and do some very large downloads the last couple days of my billing cycle and try to hit 5gb a couple days before my cycle resets and see just how bad it gets.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
Although it blows to be the "victim" of a traditional "bait & switch" by a faceless corporation, I am still 3G but downloading pages at minimum 5+ seconds slower.

Terrible? No.

Unexpected due to expectations of "unlimited" use per my 2 year contract? Yup.

I realize that OTHER providers/carriers have always capped, but um, I am not with other providers/carriers.

Tmo advertised..."UNLIMITED NET USAGE" and as a paying client who signed a contract I expect to get what I originally signed up for.

Imho I'm not demanding anything more than what I signed up for.

What good are contracts with tmo for anyways? A way for them to strongarm you into coping with their ever changing policies, or pay the ETF and have a nice life???

I really despise the "sukz to be you" policy that tmo is acquiring...

:(
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Yeah i know it sucks as far as being stuck in a contract thinking you were getting one thing and getting something else

But as far as i see legally they are still holding up their end of the contract, you are still completely unlimited in your net access. They never advertised a set kbps or mbps of service they would provide. no internet provider does, unless youre talking about a leased business class line. All your home based broadband connections are advertised as "up to" whatever speed
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
I get it, in order to sign contracts with multi~billion dollar corporations, you must first hire a multi~billion dollar attorney to translate the fine print.

When did cellular providers get so powerful anyhow?

Oh yeah, when we decided to "let" them by shrugging off their whittling away at our rights as the clients who pour millions into their pockets.

I say more people should contest the slow and methodical "tweaking" that surely will lead to a big brother net situation.

yes.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
But dude, you are still getting unlimited data... Plus, 5GB is like pornhub junky status. Ha. How much porn do you need on your phone?

Download movies on your computer maybe?

Either way, you can't argue that you aren't getting unlimited data because you in fact are. They aren't cutting off your data once you hit 5GB or charging you more money when you go over 5GB. How is this a breach of contract?
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
Not a huge porn fan, but I do download a ****e ton of stuff from xda trying out all of the awesome cabs, and I do dig the youtube vidz of all things science/engineering/technology.

As far as arguing that my "unlimited" data plan is now "limited"to 5GB per month and how that is somehow not a breach of contract, well I am going to have to disagree with you.

The speed at which I agreed to pay for i.e. 3G, is slowed to less than DSL when I reach the recently altered terms set by Tmo concerning usage in a billing cycle.

If they are going to throttle my usage, they can also deduct that lost speed from my monthly bill.

In a nutshell, I am no longer getting what I signed up for 7 months ago but per my contract I am still expected to pay the same amount.

Or fork over mad cheddar to bail from the contract...don't know about you but it was $lightly terrifying for me $igning onto a premium package and a $et up like this for 2 more years.

Business expense, but still My Wife would be peeved to know it cost me $300 to pay another $300 for the ETF.

Money isn't my bestest friend...but dangit, Transformers looked SO good!!

My guess is that Tmo failed to prepare their network properly to meet the needs of the Fvckton of new clients that will rush into the HD7, and this was a hail Mary move. The timing seems about right in line with the upcoming release of the latest wondertoy.

I mean heck, what can anyone do? Complain? Whoopee, plenty of other tmo/xda members will pipe up and put them in their place.

amirite?

:)

EDIT: I have 0 movies/music on my phone, never have.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Do you use 5GB of data each month? How long does it take you to get there. I use my phone a ton and I'm not even kinda close.
[HD2 General] airoff8:
All I do is use the internet a lot throughout the day looking at news and sports sites and my bill says I use 5GB a week. I don't download anything. Why buy a G2 if you just want to make phone calls?
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
I recieved a text 3 days ago.

I browse the net, and post regularly on quite a few forums. The only thing I can think of that kills it is downloading the themes etc. from forums directly to the phone.

I checked my account and it reads 0 due to that pesky unlimited data plan, and tmo has no way of compiling my total usage into a nice round #. All they see on their system is my entire usage broken down into individual "visits" to the network. Yeah, I almost insisted that she break out the calcuator and get to addin'!

Like I said, they seem a bit out of their element having just launched this new system.

Not one rep could offer anything more than an apology for not having more info when I went through my list of straight forward, and comprehensive inquiries.

What bothers me, among other things is the lack of transparency on their part in the form of the inability to answer simple questions. How can I be sure that they are capping at 5gb, or find out what speed have I been lowered to?

For all I know they are making up the rules as we're plowing down this dark gravel road to unknown parts.

A free speedtest could offer better data than the company I am paying good money to, and that is pretty jacked up.

To answer your question, I have no idea how I hit 5gb 1 week shy of my billing cycle ending.

And with no way to keep tabs, it looks like my Leo will be collecting a bit more dust in the future...I'd hate to blow the cap 2 weeks in.

Youtube vids now take 4 min. to load a 56 sec. clip.

[HD2 General] kidrythm:
Dayum, you got me beat!

This is one competition where I really don't mind being last...

How is your browsing experience with the throttling applied?
[HD2 General] d0ug:
i guarantee that the contract you signed in no way states what speed of service they will provide. that would be impossible to tmobile to hold upto, what about all the people paying the same price for their data service as you, but they are stuck in areas still only served by edge or god forbid gprs service?

Yes these service areas still exist, i personally experienced them on a road trip over the summer. 1 bar of gprs service in a cabin in north mississippi is real fun. i guess by your logic tmobile owes me a billing credit because i couldn't get 3g service while on the road for a week

i really cant fathom how you exceed 5g without downloading movies/music on your phone
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
If I left an area where service was solid, that would be one thing.

I am in K.C. where the service rivals Sprint's due to their "campus" being located here.

3 1/2 bars since day 1, another "issue" I have...

No movies (not til I pony up for coreplayer), and as far as music, the speaker sux bawls on the Leo and earbuds irritate me.

[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Anyways, after that lasts dumb post. I agree with the others up top, with the data cap instated, you are still getting data, just at a slower rate. No where in your contract does it state that what speeds you will recieve using mobile data, only that your access to mobile data is unlimited.

[HD2 General] d0ug:
How do you online game with a cellular connection? The latency is too high, you must be getting killed all the time! Im not sure how much game protocols have changed in the recent past with the high availability of bandwidth but i know many game protocols used to be extremely lightweight that they would work well even over dial up. it's the latency more than the bandwidth that would effect online game play. That will be the one benefit of real 4g networks, the latency should be just about as good as your home dsl/cable connection

Back to the rest of the thread, I think t-mobile needs to do one of 2 things now that they are going to throttle. They need to provide a functionality similar to dialing #msg# or #min# for data. lets say #data#. That way right from your phone you can tell just how much data you have used for the month. Another option is to send out a notification txt message each time you hit a whole gigabyte of usage. ie at 1gb 2gb 3gb 4gb and finally a message at 5gb stating you will be throttled
[HD2 General] rr5678:
I don't game online with a cell connection. Just using it as an example.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
