[Galaxy S I9000 General] ParanoidDK:
Well they had the problem with the Marked icon was gone when they did update it tru Kies and i did hear from some of the guys on the GSM samsung support that sometimes it did go to Download mode when they did the reset to get marked back... So in my eyes it is only to late they pull the firmware back again... lol...

But i think the biggest problem lies in Kies and not so much in the firmware as i have been using the JP6 for the last week now and no stability problems but i did also update using Odin... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] puiuflorinel:
@samsungukmobile Samsung UK Mobile

The Froyo upgrade will be available in the UK from early November and we expect all operator versions to be available by the end of November.

Can I hope that I'll do this update until 2011? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ParanoidDK:
2020 is more likely to be the year.. :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] puiuflorinel:
True about Kies, must be a problem with it... They released about 5 updates last month.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ParanoidDK:
Well i am just happy i never installed Kies on my computer... They should make Odin more user minded and use that as the update system on there android phones.. but then again they might just destroy that trying to make it user friendly.. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ykkfive:
looks like it's true coz actually galaxy 2.2 disappointed me, it's lag, slow.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksaber73:
Hope that Samsung uses the extra time well and gets their act together,as their implementation of froyo on the Galaxy S has proven to be a very crippled and awkward one so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] WpK36:
i've been using froyo 2.2 updated with odin and it works fine. i did install voodoo lag fix. can't really complain about it all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Herman76:
Been using it since release day (updated through kies).

As stock rom i felt it very laggy and wasnt pleased at all, but i rooted it and applied lag fix, so it seems blazing fast now, getting good scores in linpack and quadrant.

Quadrant: 1882

Linpack: 14.38
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stuclark:
Of course, there's a big risk attached in believing everything that GSM Arena says.... they have been known to get things wrong in the past. Quite a LOT wrong in fact...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ParanoidDK:
well considering that 75% of the GSM calls on the nordic samsung support the last week have been about the missing marked icon/download mode after 2.2 in Kies i might say that it seems like the right thing to do...

But again forgot to ask them there before i did go home.. :P

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tamasrepus:
For those who have upgraded their phones: is tethering included in T-Mobile's 2.2 OTA update for the MyTouch 3G?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smapdi:
I see USB tethering as an option under Wireless & Network settings -> Tethering.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] colin007:
same here, I see only USB Tethering. Also as a side note. The Universal Androot DOES NOT work after the upgrade. Can't root that way. So I downloaded Visionary from the market, (I used that on my tmobile G2 to root) and all be damned if it didn't work perfect to root the mytouch with 2.2. After you root, then you can download the opensource wifi hotspot app or any other tethering app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
Anyone able to confirm what, if any, customisations the networks have made to the various WP7 phones?

I'm concerned about changes we can't remove and bloatware as will be using a PAYG sim card from GiffGaff so I need either an unbranded phone or last resort locked to O2 (as will still work on Giffgaff).

Now that many have been released (in the UK at least) be great to hear from XDA members with first hand experience rather than the fairly poor and detail-free reviews I have been reading last few days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangeoro2:
I've just bought the HTC Mozart on Orange. The installed apps can be unpinned, and the theme changed from orange's colours back to Blue.

I did also manage to get the SIM unlock code from mobileunlocked.co.uk which worked perfectly, and let me use a SIM from another operator.

HOWEVER, there is nothing I can find on the phone to change the APN settings, therefore mobile data is not working.

Anyone found a way to get around this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
Think you might well be the first person to ever need to do it :confused:

But as said, operator customisations are minimal and easily removed. The only bit of branding you might be left with would be an operator logo on the casing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] martoto:
Actually, that is the best part of Windows Phone 7 - it NOT allows any customization except some additional stand-alone hub/apps. No more totally ruined experience from OEMs' or carriers' crapware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
There are various levels of customizations depending on network, but I've not come across any yet that cannot be unpinned from the home screen or completely uninstalled (long-press the app in the application list, choose uninstall).

The apps will be reinstalled if doing a hard reset but other than that they are completely removable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Thats really good as there have been a lot of different carriers that stick their rubbish (and I mean rubbish) applications onto phones, and no one uses them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
I heard someone mention on another forum that O2 have messed with the search button in the browser? Anyone know anything about that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
According the Techradar:

Choose Settings > mobile network > Add APN

Let us know if that worked, as worried it might not be available in some devices 'locked' to a network.
[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
Found another review that states O2 have messed with the browser:

@Pocket-Lint

I thought people said Microsoft would not allow customisations like this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangeoro2:
yes, this works!

I know this is a long shot but I was looking for some help with a Vibrant issue we are having. Some of us have modded our phone and installed a FFC from a I9000, but we get bands in our rear camera pics and videos. We can not figure out if it is a hardware or software problem.

I have an extra camera that I will ship to whoever is willing to install it in their phone and see if they get the same banding issue. Anybody that is willing to help please PM me.

can someone help me please
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shekki:
I don't think you can use it without the data plan unless you root, but in order for you to root you need to be able to activate the phone. So I think you're stuck with that one unless you can get someone who has data on their T-Mobile SIM card to activate your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HaTeNL:
I tested again with JP6 now and my results are very disappointing! Before with Eclair it was all much better!

JP6: almost impossible to get a fix and always inaccurate

JF3, JM5: fix in 15 seconds and very accurate!

JM7 was slightly worse then JM5 and JF3 in my experiences.

How the hell is that possible? I thought / read that JP6 / JPM is much better with GPS :S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
FYI: We say "Worst"

And the title is biaised, you "tell" that the GPS is worst, and ask if we agree... you can only assume that the result will tend in that dirrection.

On the topic, well, since none of those release are "official", I can't realy judge on speculations and pre-release!

But then, I don't have massive issue running JH2... On a 6km run I got about 200m of "distortion", so it's only about 3% margin of error.

Hello,

I have this phone and after trying to update it thru Kies I get this message:

This device's version cannot be updated :( I see also this numbers in the same window:

PDA:JM6 / PHONE::JM1 / CSC:JM4

I'm really new to this and I simply wanted to have Froyo on my phone. Is this possible? I really don't know what this number means. I live in Slovenia (Europe).

Thank you for any kind of advise.

Hello.

Can someone please tell me how to root htc desire and which rom is currently the best? By best I mean fastest. Or is there any link where are descriptions of roms?

Thnak you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] youngalfred:
go to this site and read, read, read every step.

t-mod. org

replace the rom you want with a rom of your choosing.

also, it pays to read into things before asking others. If you investigated this forum your would find a whole section dedicated to android development for the desire, and guides on how to root and flash new roms. From the sounds of it, you are not quite ready to root your desire. Read up more on the process.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 0semaj0:
You are referring to custom roms? you will find that with many of the custom roms, they are faster because they are stripped out versions...that will allow you have more options to choose from.

Faster? maybe because many of the gimmicks are gone....I am using DeFroST 5.6 on my HTC Desire at the moment...its faster than the original HTC rom because it doesnt have the HTC applications or the HTC Sense UI...give that a try...pretty happy with it!

just a quick one:

Does anyone know how to get the Samsung talking with adb?

I have done this, but have repeated the process with each USB code thus two sets of udev rules are listed:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c01", MODE="0666", OWNER="[me]" #Normal
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c02", MODE="0666", OWNER="[me]" #Recovery
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0fff", MODE="0666", OWNER="[me]" #Fastboot

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c01", MODE="0666", OWNER="[me]" #Normal

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0fff", MODE="0666", OWNER="[me]" #Fastboot

Then issued an:

# udevadm control --reload-rules

On the SGS i9000 put the 'phone USB into debug mode, and plugged it into the USB port.

Lsusb states that the device is there:

# lsusb | grep Samsung
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 04e8:681c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd

And then either as root or a normal user (same one as specified in udev rules), ran:

# export PATH=$PATH:/home/me/Documents/PERSONAL/ANDROID/android-sdk-linux_86

# tools/adb devices

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterJohnnyT:
I am trying to reset my Vibrant battery by booting into recovery mode.

I press Vol up/down & Power while the phone is off & plugged in. I then release the buttons when I see the "Vibrant" screen. It takes me to the recovery menu, but when I select "Reinstall Packages", it looks for Update.zip on my sdcard. How do I get to the menu with the options for my battery?

Running stock with JI6 update.

I have read that I should release the buttons after I see the SECOND Vibrant screen... but what does this mean? I hold down the buttons, and the screen flashes "Vibrant"... I keep holding the buttons, and the screen then shows the Gear(settings) image... If I release the buttons after seeing this Gear image, I just get to the same recovery screen as if I had released the buttons after seeing the first "Vibrant" screen. What do they mean when they say to release the buttons after I see the "2nd vibrant screen"?

Thanks for the help...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sroach23:
you have to be rooted with clockwork recovery. then when you boot into the stock recovery and select Reinstall Packages it will take you to the clockwork recovery. then under advanced it has wipe battery stats. without root you cant do it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpmilestogo:
that doesn't always work. I just tried it and I don't get to the recovery menu either. I did the battery reconditioning last night/this morning and had to restart the phone, choose clockwork recovery and boot into recovery. Then I could reset the battery stats.

Oh, thanks, but I don't have Clockwork or any roms or root or anything, just stock. Is there any way for stock users to recalibrate the battery?
[HD2 General] irsw:
Hello,

I have bought locally an htc HD2 T-Mobile, about 3 months ago.

Was using it and all was fine till one evening I left the device charging and in the morning I woke up to see the screen froze, when I tried to take the charger out the "ornage" light keeps on going, after taking the battery out and back in, putting in the charger, the "orange" light comes up but nothing works.

It goes without saying that the device is HSPL and was on NRG's rom for quiet sometime with regular updates.

When holding volume down and power, the device starts and arrives at the tri-colour screen. I have tried to re-flash cooked rom, shipped rom etc etc. Also tried to "task 29" the device (from software and from MTTY) nothing helps, the device will not load any new rom.

I tried to change the SPL back to 2.08.00 and keeps getting errors.

Anyone with a suggestion, as I can not send the device for warranty in this state, I need to at least change the SPL back.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akinandroid:
Hi All you talented people.

I wonder if you can advise me. Im not a developer and my knowledge is based entirely on what i read on this forum! (Please spare me the dont play with what you dont understand speeches, you are right but i simply wont listen! :cool: ).

A few months ago, i used odin to flash from the Stock eclair build to Froyo (kernel 2. 6. 32. 9 root at sei-28), applied the OCLF and was away. The stock rom had been so bad, i deemed it unusable, and was happy with Froyo. However as time has progressed it has been getting worse, the instability is ridiculous, FCs constantly and i probably have to pull the battery at least once every 24 hours.

So, in the wake of Samsung UKs decision to withhold official froyo until end of NEXT MONTH (disgrace). I need another solution or i might just end up throwing the Galaxy S at the wall and it will be the end!

Keen on the Darkys ROM, but im worried that i dont have Recovery 2e (not sure what that even is) and dont want to brick the thing.

Can any of you advise on the best course of upgrade from my current position to what you consider to be the best rom?

Id rather not flash with odin ( im a mac user) is possible.

Thanks in Advance.

Give it a shot by moving the APK to your SD card. If you run into any problems, just move it back.
