[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Well it's probably due to the carriers. If you were a carrier with a 3G network would you want to stream 480p or 720p video to phones with 480p resolutions??

It makes sense for the carriers, so it probably made sense to Google as well.

There are also QOS (Quality Of Service) issues to consider. It's safe to say that google and your carrier cannot reliably guarantee that you could have the bandwidth via 3g/3.5g to always and reliably be able to stream HD video. Users in this scenario would likely make the mistake of blaming the carrier, google and youtube for making a crap system and crap app, rather than making the reasoned leap that perhaps the network isn't always going to be up to the task. It's best to impose a limitation few would complain out, to guarantee more reliable service and a more reliable perception of that service for everyone.

In my experience the difference in quality between streamed and directly downloaded (and higher resolution) video is minimal, and usually dependent on the source material as well as how old the youtube video is..

But you can directly download them with apps like Tube Mate....so I'm unsure of the problem, other than it merely being a lack of patience. But if patience is the issue(due to the amount of time it takes), it'd likely have trouble streaming in a timely manner anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXQBLGH:
yeah I'm aware of the amount of bandwidth required to stream HD over 3G but that's not my concern. My concern is over WIFI because I can't seem to stream in HD over WIFI. There are people here saying they can stream HD through WIFI (not sure if it's more confusion with HQ and HD) but there DEFINITELY is no option to stream in HD through wifi for my youtube app, which is the latest one (the eclaire 2.1 app wasn't able to either).

I can only stream in HQ, not HD. The quality diff is noticeable. That lebron james commercial I posted is a very good example. Just dl it with tube-mate in 720p and watch it. Compare the quality with streaming the same video in "HQ" on the youtube app...big difference. I don't get why we can't even stream in HD through WIFI?

I also don't get why some people are saying they CAN stream in HD....

Unless for some reason my youtube app is gimped (highly doubt it), these people are still mistaking HQ for HD...

and yes the whole point of youtube is to stream, so of course I would want to stream in HD. Why would I want to have to search up the video, then download it, then watch it. That's not how youtube is supposed to work....

again bandwidth/speed isn't an issue since I'm on WIFI

sorry just had to get this off my chest.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXQBLGH:
Just an update.

I found what appears to be the best app to stream HD youtube vids.

It's JetVD, available for free from the market.

It streams 720p PERFECTLY. That lebron commercial above is crystal clear.

If you choose mp4 high quality, you get the same quality as what the youtube app streams. You can also download if you want.

I love the YT interface and being able to view my account, my favourites, see related videos...etc.

I guess I'l have to use both and switch to JetVD to stream 720p.

Shame for some reason Google decided to gimp the YT app (even on WIFI).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverstorm:
+1 for JetVD

Been using it since Hero days, used to let me download while streaming another video, or download multiple videos at once, but the most recent updates are missing this useful ability.

Still, its free and works great for viewing HD and saving them to ur phone for offline use as well!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i have jetVD installed too

still can't decide which one is better
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
I modified the graphics for notification tray power widget to not look so.. bland.

They were all regular PNGs except for the on/off graphic which I handled as a .9.png. I started off by pulling the apk from my phone via ADB, decompiled it via APK manager, put in my modified graphics, and then used APK Manager to recompile, sign, repush the APK. I've done this in HTC ROMs before without any problems but with CM6.1 I'm getting mass force closes, can't really do much unless I push back the original APK. I'm not sure what's wrong, the modified graphics are there and look good but something is wrecking havoc.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saf100792:
don't resign it. that usually is what causes the problems skip that step and see if it works
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Just as I expected: boot loop.

Hmmm... I have no idea what's causing the force closes..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saf100792:
Thats weird i just modified mine to give it a clear taskbar. i used winrar but i didn't recompile or sign the apk just extracted the images,edited them, and then pushed em back in the apk.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
So you just dragged and dropped the graphics into winrar/apk replacing the old files?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saf100792:
yup everything worked fine
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Thanks. I just nandroid'd back to CM6.0 stable, got to go out but will try this when I get back. I'll probably post it up if it works. Very minor tweaks but still better.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uppsala9496:
Had my phone running nice with 2.1 utb and lagfix ext4. Saw the unofficial froyo 2.2 and installed and had that running great.

Suddenly the last week my phone was shutting down randomly. Decided to odin it and went back to jf6.

Phone still shut down on me, so I figured what the hell and updated the firmware via kies to jh7.

No issues.....and all of a sudden I no longer have a lock screen. Now I hit the power button and the phone is unlocked. Not a big fan of this since it's too easy to bump the power button while in my pocket.

Anyone else experience this? I'm stock right now (unrooted, no lag, etc).

Also for the random shut downs, could it be the battery maybe? I need to see if it happens with jh7 and if so, may swap my battery with my wife's to see if it still happens.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] theunleet:
I have looked EVERYWHERE on here and am a bit confused as to what I need to do.

I have a SPRINT(CDMA?) Diamond Touch or whatever.

Rom Version : 1.09.651.5

Radio Version : 1.00.00F

Hardware Version : 0080

PRL Version : 60671

PRI Version : 1.44_003

Those are the specs. Phone is about 2 years old and I have the $7/month TEP from Sprint anyways.

I installed Android to the internal 4GB SD card last night and it sucks. No data(Need APN settings or something?) The touchscreen was calibrated ok but the screen goes beserk(After a while, and then goes normal later) and starts moving left, right, or up/down and bleeding in from the other side, and then the calibration is totally screwed up. Sound seems to work, and I could MAKE a phonecall but when I called the phone it went to voicemail. I sent and received an SMS, but didn't receive the MMS i sent. So anyways I will just keep it for fun.

Now onto what I really want to do. HOW do I get a custom rom on there? I would like to install like... Fodd Sense or something but there are like 43432 different ROMS.(I want WM 6.5 + Sense(2.1 or 2.5))(Currently have Stock 6.1) Do I need something WITH a radio? I am so confused as I was reading and Fodd Sense doesn't have a Radio? I have read problems with changing to HardSPL or whatever for CDMA users?

I have much experience in iPhone Hacking(TriBoot Jailbroke OS, Android, Ubuntu) so nothing is too hard for me to accomplish. Someone please give me some advice as to the best route to go for a CDMA user.(Also please dont just reply with a link to another part of the forum(Unless it details what to do for SPRINT), I have read for days about different roms, and how to install all of this to your phone, but most of the information is too cryptic as to what exactly you need beforehand, and CDMA vs GSM) Remember this is the SPRINT version, never hacked, only updated from HTC website.

Have you tried this one?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] theunleet:
Yes I actually followed the instructions and used that one. But the screen is whacko and I am going to have to delete it. No data connection either.

I got WM 6.5 onto my phone using the (1.11.00F? 1.00.11F?) one of those radios for SPRINT. I have tried many roms and none of them seem to get me a data connection.(I even tried one that was built for sprint, had an auto-activator dealio?) I would assume under connection settings I need to enter my PCS Vision username and password yes? Everytime I do I get error 60 or something about it being a wrong username and password or something.(I think its error 60) What do I do here? Is my username and password wrong or is there something special I need to do to get data running? I have even tried carrier cabs, although all they add is a new connection connecting to #777.

[G2 and Desire Z General] pimpmaneaton:
I didn't rename it. It is it's own update utility. You run it from a pc and it will go through and verify the information on your phone and then will update. Looks very simular to the Update utility used for flashing the HD2. But it is not able to verfiy the information on the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
rename it pc10img.zip, boot into fastboot, select bootloader. Tell me if it flashes.

[G2 and Desire Z General] grankin01:
There are instructions elsewhere to do it but you will have to search for the .zip file that the ruu program extracts to a temp directory on your pc and rename that file before you put it on your sd card to try it out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] grankin01:
If I remember correctly renaming it update.zip works fine in both bootloader and recovery also.

Edit: should be named update.zip when you find it to begin with. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] El_Nino9:
would it not effect radio in the U.S? i mean the desire Z and the G2 user same radios? same frequencies? just wondering. the reason it doesnt find your device when you are running the RUU is you might not have htc sync

and if you do have htc sync i got a feeling it needs the phone to be able to have that option, i.e. when you connect up a sense ui phone it gives you an option for htc sync. but no harm in trying to see if htc sync can recongise your phones, if so maybe a chance with a gold card to flash the RUU

i don't have a G2 so i can't try. i have the desire Hd and the desire Z comes next month
[G2 and Desire Z General] grankin01:
So far gold cards have done nothing for the g2 from what I have read (could have missed something) and if it is for the desire z it will not flash to the g2. They have tried it in another thread with no luck with and with out the gold card.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZeroSX:

As the title says. The Galaxy Tab Exchange setup doesn't allow me to specify server to which it should connect. And our corporate Exchange server is not the same as my email address (mailadress is first name -dot- lastname -at- corporation - where Exchangeserver is webmail -dot- corporation). Setting up Exchange accounts are instant on any other device I have run (all HTC Android phones, Galaxy S, iPhone, iPad, etc)...

Anyone who has successfully setup an Exchange account on the Galaxy S?

I'm amazed that the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Tab uses completely different Exchange implementations. Galaxy Tab doesn't support categories, free/busy status and more. And also cannot connect to my email account where all other devices and phones can...

I resolved it myself. Going to the email app and choosing "add account" allows you to set manual settings for the Exchange account. Going through "Settings -> Accounts and Sync" does not allow you to use manual settings.

I see alot of people talking about the clockwork recovery menu so my question is whats the difference between the normal recovery menu (when u go volume buttons plus power buttons) and the clockwork recovery menu
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
Recovery is stock android recovery and doesn't have near as many options. It will only read a zip named update.zip for one. Clockwork gives you a LOT more options. Backup/Restore, install zip from sdcard (any name), more options for formatting, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
So if im nit wrong to get the clockwork menu u download rom menager than click the clockwork mod or something like that than u go into recovery and reinstall packadge?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
Yes. Choose flash clockworkmod recovery. That puts the update.zip with the program on your sd. Then reboot recovery. From rom manager it should (but often doesn't) go straight into cwm. If it doesn't, select reinstall packages. Make sure there's an update.zip before you reboot or you can get into a recovery loop. No big deal, just a pain in the arse.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's any proper way to unroot and put Legend to factory state again.

I have latest nightly cyanogen now.

I've tried several things (htc ruu install, flashing with stock rom, flashing with indigo bean, etc.) but every and each one of them finished with nothing - phone with question mark is shown and then it reboots.

So, none of this works. The next thing I want to try is to flash with modaco's custom rom via their instructions - maybe this will work? Is it any good idea?

I just start to wonder if I can break something by trying this stuff over and over. ;)

Any tips?
[Legend Android Development] MOIYKE!:
I assume you'll have to flash to a rom such as modaco's. Well any rom that still has all the HTC sync and tethering rubbish still on it. As this is used to detect the phone when you run the ruu .exe files to flash back to stock.

Can anyone back me up on that? Also shouldn't this thread be in general?
