[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ancient_One:
No they don't come with external SD card provided.

Was this a new SGS plastic wrapped or sealed box. I wonder if it was pre-used by someone and they forgot to remove the card when they took it back.

Any content on the SD? I would not worry overly much as long as you can register the device your covered by warrantee at any rate.

The 8GB card was a bonus.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapas:
the phone looks brand new and the sd card was in a plastic case (with an micro sd to normal size sd adapter). I bought it from an official 02 store...

nice ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNStrangelove:
Depends on the carrier, mine on Vodafone didn't, apparently 02 does.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apolas:
Lucky you. My box says 16GB, but the phone has only 8GB internal. Bought sim-free model and the box was sealed. I was happy to see the 16GB on the box and little disappointed when I have found thee truth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerissa:
i don't have more information about this.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aylarth:
I, for one am sure that Vodafone Ireland sells SGS 8gb model with a bonus 8gb microSD card at the minute. So, this means it having or not an extra microSD card depends on your Carriers actual offer.

Today I'm getting my Vibrant....I have a G1 right now, should I charge the battery on the Vibrant or let it drain and then charge it?
[Vibrant General] kdf2883:
Charge it to full and you should be fine .
[Vibrant General] rembonjaski:
Should be fine without, but it doesn't hurt to calibrate.

When I got mine the first thing I did was a factory reset, then calibrated the battery - just let Avatar play over and over until it died then plugged it in overnight. My battery life has been great.
[Vibrant General] emonero:
Thanks I'm using the phone right now....this phone is amazin!
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Now root it, flash JI6, JAC's Kernel, a lagfix and you are good to go.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
Or flash Eugene's Froyo rom and then go to an Apple store and detour their potential customers with your lighter, sexier phone that has flash support.
[Vibrant General] Erickomen27:
I Pick Option B!!!!
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Ahh yes

But still show it to all the Apple groupies to show them what a Superior Really looks like...... and remind them how they are getting taken by Steve Jobs and his cronies
[Vibrant General] ensonnosne:
You should drain the battery first til it dies and recharge fully. Repeat cycle twice more. Charging a partially charged new battery and not prepping by cycling thru full charge and full discharge werk shorten your talk time and the over all battery life.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irvine32:
Guys, first post sorry I'm a newbie but about 2 weeks ago I modified my Dinc to use the free 3G Hotspot and everything worked great. Last week I dialed *228 just something I do randomly and noticed now that the settings I modded were back to normal. Last night I dialed ##778 and changed everything back so that I can use the 3G Hotspot again but everytime I use it my phone goes to 1X instantly and my speeds are extremely slow and almost non-existent. Once I turn off the Hotspot my phone shows 3G again so I'm scratching my head thinking Verizon has done something to my phone not allowing that 3G Hotspot to work properly. Any ideas?

Thanks,

K
[EVO 4G General] whats77inaname:
I'm considering doing this over the next week or so, but I have a Seidio Inn. case. I'm wondering if anyone that has completed this mod has any input on whether they are able to charge the phone w/a case on? And is the phone still held in place by the Touchstone when the case is on?
[EVO 4G General] sisith:
Why not just mod the inside of the innocase? I have thought about doing this and just placing exposed connectors that connect to a receptacle that I would wire on the phone...or just cut two small holes for the connectors to pass through the back of the phone. The holes could be easily plugged when the case is not used. This way the thickness of the case is not a problem and the touchstone is removable.
[EVO 4G General] whats77inaname:
I thought about doing that. I thought about increasing the magnet size inside the Touchstone to overcome the thickness of the case. I also thought about getting a couple washers, Rotozipping a little out the inside of the INNO case, and affixing the washers inside there. I'm going to play with it a little to find out the best option, I was hoping that someone here had already done it. Oh well, I'll figure it out :cool:
[Networking] ambush276:
i kind of had a question in general about using data over WAP..

IF i wanted to use WAP over GSM would i be charged for airtime minutes or Kb.

its not using the GPRS network, and i want to kind of simulate a "dialup modem." In that sense i know it would be like 14.4kbps (really slow)... but at the same time would i be able to use WAP as "minutes" instead of "data."

if not wap is there any technology where i can do that?

Thanks!
[Networking] ambush276:
bumppy bumppy
[Networking] ChiccoFR:
I think you should distinct two things : protocols and the physical networks that supports them.

WAP is a protocol that adaptes wireless physical links to packet networks (to be trivial), it could be used with any physical link (GSM, 3G or even WiFi for instance) but is in fact historically used with GSM in the GPRS part (new 3G networks are more and more packet and native IP oriented) :

h t t p://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ WAP

Then, if you're using GPRS you're paying data charges (in volume), if you're making a voice call you're paying minutes of comms (in duration then).

So your real question is : can I exchange data with a GSM/Voice link (without using GPRS) and the answer is "yes but you really dont wanna do this" (reaaaaaally slow : 9.6 kbs) and like you've said yes it's possible because your phone is in fact a dial-up modem. It uses the AT commands set (cooked in the GSM fashion) like many Telcos equipment :

h t t p://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Hayes_command_set#GSM

But you'll need a piece of software to access these functions : on old Nokia I remember it was possibles to do it in the field mode (after typing a certain successions of keys), on WinMo you can emulate AT commands sent to the Radio Interface Layer and then control what you want to do, you should take an eye there :

h t t p://stackoverflow.com/questions/997325 / directly-accessing-the-modem-in-windows-mobile

and look into the MSDN Libray for Windows Mobile

Once you've got access to these commands, you can initiate a dial-up connection, exactly like you did when you've got your old and slow bipping modem plugged on the phone :D ! You then need a number to call that can route your call to an equipment that gives you access to the Internet (in one word a Dial-up ISP like in the old good times)...

In Windows Mobile (at least on my old HTC phones) it was possible to initiate a CSD connection (CSD stands for Circuit-Switched Data) that means a connection using the 9.6 kbs link like call to connect to your carrier's data network...I'm not sure it's still working nowadays due to the new architecture of GSM and 3G networks...You can anyway take an eye to (for WinMo again) :

h t t p://technet.microsoft.com/ en-us/ library/ dd261898.aspx

Finally on Android....I've not tested that yet :D (a bit useless in regard of my shining new high-speed HSUPA connection)

Two questions then : what is your phone (brand, model, OS) ? and what do you wanna do (which number do you want to dial-up) with that ?

[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
lol believe me I will :D

but come on with the tips and tricks :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] mtem1985:
I got mine trophy 7 today and i found some stuff out.

1st, when you link your live account to the phone, you'll automaticly get an e-mail from microsoft phone 7 in your inbox.

this had some usefull links in it. for exemple, I didn't download the full zune package, but another version wich works as well and is quite a bit smaller.

2nd, create an extra live account with false location settings, i set mine on beverly hills, california, so you can acces marketplace, xbox live etc.

(you can add an other account for your e-mail settings etc)

tested it out today, and it works :D

My normal live account is a mess with contacts and e-mails so I didn't connect my normal account to it because windows phone 7 automaticly sync's with it and mine people tabs was a real mess, so i had to revert to factory settings, and start over again, keep that in mind.

as far as i've played with it today it works like a charm and I think this OS will be more mainstream than the old windows mobile OS'es because it's far more user friendly.

BTW: i'm from holland to ;)

BTW2: you got 2 times 3 ;)

BTW3: havent tested out the multimedia stuff yet, just browsed through the zune stuff etc.

[Windows Phone 7 General] wheresmybeaver:
Handy Tip #1: long hold the Start button to activate voice recognition (eg "open calendar")

Handy Tip #2: the traditional notification bar (signal strength, 3G, WiFi status etc) is mostly hidden by default unless something changes. Tap near the top of the screen to temporarily show all this information (for example, if you want to make sure you're connected to WiFi before downloading an app or an update). On my HD7, the sweet spot seems to be the HTC logo at the top of the screen.

Handy Tip #3: To remove an app from your phone, press and hold on its icon in the app list and select uninstall. You can also rate a downloaded app for the marketplace here.

Handy Tip #4 (possibly only applies to O2 HD7 users, maybe only in Ireland): If Internet Explorer is having trouble loading particular websites (for example, imgur), add the apn "internet" in "mobile network" under settings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] evilangelic:
This is sort of a tip... a tip-off to a cool feature...

When you are in the pictures gallery, if you upload a picture to a service like skydrive off of your phone then... it's 'up' loaded in the gallery if you zoom out.

I thought it was really simple but really awesome lol...

(It's not persistent though, only for that viewing of the gallery...)

Two Questions

Alright, I've sifted this entire thread and there are a lot of great things here. But two items are unclear to me:

1) Field test works on my Surround, but when I go to any of the items on the screen the "start" button is disabled.

2) Holding down the camera button while powering up first sticks on the HTC logo then brings up a graphic telling me to plug the phone in. After I do that and open Zune it starts what I believe is the hard reset process. Is this also the way into the boot loader for future flashing?
[Windows Phone 7 General] prootc1:
vibration mode - Volume key and press the bell dot and it turns to vibration.

audiplayer - Turn back key is the faster way to stop it

Music settings - Only when you choose the audio settings, but without bass, etc..

Hack: Assigning an email port

I searched for this a couple weeks ago but was unable to find it. I figured out a solution by resorting to an old WM6.5 trick. So I am posting hoping to help someone. If you are having trouble sending emails from your phone it may be due the port assigned automatically by your device. I had the exact problem since my provider uses SSL for all outgoing emails and needed to specifically use port 6025, so I was unable to send emails, although I was able to receive. To change your outgoing email port do this:

-go to your email settings under that particular account

-select sync settings

-under smtp type this:

smtp-xyz.com:port number

eg. smtp-xyz.com:6025

xyz.com = you smtp server address

now your phone will use port 6025 to connect to the server.

It worked for me I hope it does for you.

Hi guys! Well i've read from page 1 to (currently) page 19 and i'm confused about one thing.

This folders thing in My Computer... i can't get that to show no matter what view i have on my old XP running tower unit. Can someone do a little step by step guide perhaps? All i'm trying to do is probably the same as what many others have wanted to do, that being change my ringtone and sms alert tones to something I want, not factory standard.

If anyone can assist, i'd be very appreciative, as would others in a similar situation as myself i'd guess!

Thanks in advance, TSS :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] heisven:
Nah! That is why you should read. It is not possible to change sms alert ringtones. It is possible though to change the ringtone. Get ChevronWP7. Unlock phone. Get Ringtone sideload .xap and read the instructions in various threads here.

hi , i work in an environment where there can be NO noise.

if i put it on silent, will ANYTHING make ANY noise?

and second, i know you can change the volume when the phone is sleeping. is the volume rocker on the hd7 firm, or will it easily switch to ring? is there any way to disable changing volume when the phone is sleepingg?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
if you tap the rocker and in the volume screen at the top of the phone hit the little bell it turns to vibrate at this point it will not ring even if your rocker is hit by mistake..
[Windows Phone 7 General] rockstarar:
how loud is the vibration? i need silent.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
it does have some noise even in your pocket but not much...
[Windows Phone 7 General] rockstarar:

[Windows Phone 7 General] nehvada:
the camera button can wake up AND unlock the device with a long press. this might be an unwanted action if mostly you carry it in your pocket. you can disable this in the setting -> application -> camera.

edit: as written below by jim coleman this is not necessary. the button is protected by the proximity sensor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nehvada:
but alarms (not calender reminders) will allways sound unless you decrease volume to zero.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
If you'd like Twitter notifications on a live tile on your start screen, install the Beezz twitter app. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
The camera button is protected by the proximity sensor, so that if the phone is in your pocket, and the camera button gets depressed, it won't switch your phone on and launch the camera.

So be careful, when holding the camera button to switch on your phone and start the camera app, not to cover the proximity sensor with your hand, because if you do, the camera button won't do its thing.

Caught me out a few times, that one. :D

Zune is not an option for me, as i run linux on my pc! let see how the January update will add to this disappointing OS
[Windows Phone 7 General] moh980:
Works as well on the surround
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
If you are such a linux fanboi, why are you not running android???

To get the full experience with this phone, you need to use zune. If that is a problem, then don't get this phone. For most of us, zune is a great service and handles all our multimedia needs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moh980:
Zune only can handle multimedia! can it sync with your outlook? :rolleyes:

anyway, I was just wondering if i can manage my phone without zune, just like i did with my 6.5....hope the new update will bring back some of that freedom we had with 6.5 or older

you can use the phone without zune, but zune is needed for syncing of multimedia with your desktop and all phone updates from microsoft.

A Tip

If you cool your HD7 a lot, for example by having it on a bar mount on motorcycle it responds much faster to apps starting. Probably due to CPU being much cooler.

However at the same time screen refresh rate drops a lot so there is plenty of bluuur when using apps ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] kms108:
does anyone know if there a service code for checking the colour on the screen for dead pixels, sorry i dont have the time to check through the whole thread to see if its been posted, im getting a wp7 motzart tmr.

[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
there's an app in the marketplace called pixel checkup you could try.
[Windows Phone 7 General] knave:
1. If you receive an SMS while the phone is in your pocket (proximity sensor covered), your screen will not turn on. However, if you uncover the sensor / pull out the phone from the pocket, it will turn on the screen within a split second to show you the toast notification

(however, there is a duration to this. It will not work if you wait too long. You will have to press the power button. I believe the duration is identical to how long the toast notification stays on the top bar)

2. In the browser, tap and hold link to open in new tab

3. If you use a non-mic earphone and a call comes in while zune is playing, you can press answer and talk to the phone (via phone mic) while the audio is channeled through your earphone.

4. When playing from the radio, tap and hold the frequency to turn on/off the speaker.
