[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
well, G2 is a great phone, but personally the stock android lacks some basic features that i even had in my moto razr, like the voice recorder.. i mean seriously?? or a decent camera UI with options such as removing the shutter sound.. my biggest frustration though is, again, not with the phone, but with tmo's ****ty data service. i mean i live in phoenix, its not like its some bfe town in the middle of nowhere.. i never even get the H+ signal.. it jumps constantly between H and E and it goes to edge as soon as i get into the building.. my friends are with verizon and they get 3g in the goddamn desert!! i think i'll be kicking tmo in the sack and switching as soon as i can scheme some corporate discount from somewhere (verizon is still a bit pricey).

other than that, i love the phone!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
I love this phone, Espically for the GPS and the A-GPS big plus in my book and the LED flash. Stuff like a front facing camera (that I know I will never use), and an 800 Mhz(that can be OC'd to 1.4) do not phase me.

LOVE IT
[G2 and Desire Z General] JayP84:
Thanx after my post I did some research and temp rooted and got that wifi app.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
plus, the ability to flash custome roms on a device are only important to me if the device is crap from the factory, I have no complaints, and except for the OC gained from temp root, wouldn't want much else
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
It's a good phone. Like a Desire with a keyboard.

Speaking of, was there ever a Desire released that would allow 3G with T-Mobile?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
There are plenty of voice recorder apps. You might want to try out the Market. There's lots of cool and useful stuff in there. :)

If you turn down the ringer volume to silent or vibrate, the camera shutter will be silent. It should be an option, though. I agree.

You will NEVER see an H+ symbol for coverage. Only G, E or H.

Verizon does have broader coverage, but their 3G speeds are really slow compared to even regular HSPA, and there's no comparison to HSPA+. I would probably jump to Verizon if I could afford it though. I save about $400 a year by being with T-Mobile. That's the deal breaker for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
Here's a recent review by the Washington Post. They called the G2 "A Flawed Beauty"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/30/AR2010103000073.html

Overall the review was good. But I see what the OP is saying about all the negative comments and reviews about the phone. I have had an excellent experience with the G2 and could not be happier.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mark271:
Really?

Sent from the best phone on the market Samsung Vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Do you really want to run your Vibrant at 1.6GHz daily?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
Hmm, interesting quadrant screen cap, congrats on your numbers, try beating my stock G2 with a stock Vibrant ;P "Best phone on the market?"....really? Vibrant isn't even the best phone in Galaxy S lineup.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mark271:
I forgot, Android stock means something. I guess it does for G2 owners since you can't even permanently root it. All phones are worse stock than they are after a month of people creating custom **** for it. Fact is, Vibrant has better hardware all around.

P.S. Here is a hint, all SGS models have the same GPU,CPU, and datatype. So they are all equal on quadrant. The difference is Vibrant has better people working for it, so yes, right now the Vibrant is the best phone on the market.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
I would take any of the other Galaxy phones over the Vibrant, don't all the others have a flash? And the Epic has 4g and a ffc. How is the Epic not the best Galaxy phone? Either way G2 beat the Epic on Cnet Prizefight. Ok, now you can bend reality some more so that the Vibrant (snicker) is somehow the best phone in the world lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mark271:
You are wrong on half the **** you posted, so I won't say anymore. P.S. CNET also praises the iPhone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Hi all.

I started a new project -> X10flashGui

X10flash is only commandline atm. So i decided to give it a Gui.

Here is the first Netbeans Project i startet about this.

I know that this is not "cute" now. But first goal is to implement the functions well.

So everyone is invited to correct the code and add new features etc. etc.

Don't forget to put your name in the authors-line if you add some of your ideas to the code :)

TODO:

- Catch more Exceptions

- Make it runable (fix last errors for basic function)

- Autodetect DeviceID (without devcon)

- Optical Tuning

- Add other Xperia phones

Regards

Bin4ry

EDIT:

If somebody wants he could make up a community project on a server from the source. That would be nice, because i have started this as a XDA-Community Project. If all people with java-skills help here we will get a fine Gui flasher :)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thol:
GREAT IDEA !!!! (and thanks for your job !!! )

It will easyer to Downgrade or to Brand/debrand...

Is it possible to flash with an Original ROM, (not decompressed) ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mikrokiwi:
This look really promising. I am no developer myself, but may I suggest a feature? :p

It would be great if you could make this project use the seus firmware decryptor and add the functionality to choose seus files which would then be decrypted and used to flash with this app. That would add the possibility to flash any firmware quick and easy as you would just need 2 files from the seus blob_fs directory which just about anyone could upload for you to get the exact version you want...

Looking forward to seeing the first real version of this soon :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SaintyUK:
I have to agree with mikrokiwi - although I think this was a feature you mentioned before Bin4ry?

Kind of off topic - do we think the X10 flash in its current form will able to flash 2.1 roms? :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
If you're rooted, just put the latest rooted RUU or a rom that is based off of the the latest OTA on your SD card and do a full wipe and flash it using your recovery.

The latest Fresh rom is based off of the new OTA and can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789493

The stock rom based off of the latest OTA with root can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819838

Edit: Remember: Create a back up of your current rom FIRST! Also, Amor RA recovery is better for this type of flashing because clockwork recovery is known not to properly wipe the dalvik cache. Using ROM manager, go to scroll to the bottom to where it says "flash alternate recovery" and flash RA Recovery before you start. Once you are done and the phone boots, flash back to clockwork recovery to be able to access your nandroid back up in case anything goes wrong.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlr386:
So if your rooted you can't install updates without flashing a new rom? Because I'm completly new to this and I don't have a clue on what to do
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4f1050:
Mine didn't install the OTA (about 22mb download) on the stock Sprint ROM rooted with unrevoked3... I had to download the full update, backup my programs, install the full update, then root, then install custom splash, animation and software, then I removed bloatware. My error was from missing Calculator.odex not sure if that's the reason why...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlr386:
Can I just unroot, install update then root again? That would be easier imo. Also will unrooring wipe my data?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4f1050:
Not sure how you unroot... It wasn't that bad, I had 40 apps that I backed up and had to hit "INSTALL" then "DONE" no biggie...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] swtalways:
how do you make a hardreset on the Xperia X10 Mini pro???

Plz help, and thx anyway
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TechNoir:
As far as I am aware, there are two methods.

1. If the phone can be started, enter the settings menu and go to the "Phone and SD Card Storage" option, then select to restore phone to standard settings. This will restore the phone to factory settings.

2. If phone cannot be started or won't boot all the way, try a software update/reinstall + master reset using PC Companion or the SEUS Update software, available on the SE homepage.

Neither method will touch SD memory stick or SIM storage.
[Legend General] mccard:
Oh man oh man :(

So, I tried to flash a new ROM to my Legend last night. I got the boot loop problem and everything I tried wouldn't resolve the issue. To cut a long story short I had to factory reset. I got the stock ROM back working again, however, now the market isn't working properly and ADB is also not working as it was previously.

I was going to just flash another ROM, not a big problem as m other setup had become slightly buggy, but I first needed Clockwork MOD. I was unable to download from the market as every download fails saying "Download Unsuccessful". So I found an apk for ROM Manager and tried to install that via ADB. That then fails with "ROM Manager does not contain AndroidManifest.xml"

To get the market working again I've tried a lot of stuff I found via google:

Turn off / on mobile and Wifi networks

Unmount SD card, tuen off phone, take out the SD card, reinsert, and reboot

clear the market cache

Unknown Sources checked

All failed. There is a lot of posts out there saying to "Uninstall Market Updates" but that doesn't seem to be an option when I go to Manage Apps> Market.

Any idea where I go from here? :confused:

Cheers!

Edit - Just noticed that in Manage Apps > Google Apps all the buttons (clear cache, defaults etc.) are all greyed out.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxaxel:
Sadly, after root and upgrade my desire with Leedroid and new radio its back speaker broke.

My last chance is here. :o

(Or un-root, Orange ROM and Service :( )

All follow was wafter root and upgrade:

I was listening radio with the headphones (original ones) I unplug and when I tried to listen anything the back speaker don't work. No music, ringtone, initial bootsound (after restart), nothing

I have found hardware failures of speakers and jack connectors but in differents model, not in Desire.

Main points:

- I have set all volumes to max, min, mute... with no results.

- It isn't in headphone mode, I think, because there are no icon indicating it.

- It's possible make and receive calls, front speaker and mic works fine.

- If I plug and unplug headphones the icon goes on and then off. Plugged they works.

Is a hardware failure? Could be caused by Coocked ROM or it is just bad luck?

could a reflash the ROM help somehow?

I could unroot and flash original Orange ROM to try service guaranty, what do you think?

Thank you

WOW Now work, why? how?

I put sound up and down on Settings and using AudioManager and. First with click and finally with full sound it started to work.

Maybe it could be the soft shocks, or maybe not, because I am trying everything (including shocks) and the speaker doesn't fail.

Any ideas?

Browser Login Utility

Hi,

I was using an app called Open Wifi Login before.

it was able to submit to (including hidden fields) browser login pages regardless of the validity of SSL Certificates (accepts all certificates).

it was disabled in v1.5 by the developers and replaced as a paid app now.

unfortunately paid apps are not supported in my country.

also, i was only able to install it via appbrain before, which is also disabled now.

another app like it exists, Wifi Browser Login, but it doesn't support accepting all certificates. i'm still unable to access the free wifi available in here including from work and some malls.

maybe anyone could provide the apk for the earlier versions of it... v1.3 or v1.4?

or maybe someone could develop a free app like it?

i think it is a very useful tool to have.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXQBLGH:
Ok I'm really frustrated with this.

On 2.1 eclair the youtube app only streams in HQ, not HD.

I updated to 2.2 and even installed the newer YT ported over from gingerbread and it STILL only streams in HQ, not HD.

WHY??? Why does google not want us to stream in HD? YT is like my favourite app yet you can't stream in HD even over WIFI. Even the iphone 4 can stream youtube in HD.

Second of all, what's with people confusing HD and HQ? Looking through posts online people seem to mistakenly say you can stream in HD when in reality they mean HQ. Do people not see the difference? It's night and day....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
of course it can

just click the HD button and it will display in HD if the stream is has a higher resolution file to display
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXQBLGH:
is there something I'm missing then?

I've tried many videos that have HD (on computer) on my phone and it's only HQ.

THe quality difference is noticeable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany0:
Because it makes no sense streaming in hd on 800x480 screen unless you have set-up for hd tv output. And as far I know your galaxy sh*t ( ;-) ) can't do that. And if it could, the YT app would allow you to do that.

There is no difference between 480p and 720p on your phone. Go ahead and try it, download an yt video in both variants and see! Apparently the only difference would be in 1080p, where the audio quality would be greater, but practically, just a waste of battery and server time and... everything.

Edit:

And ye forgot, even then the videos should be optimized for that, the channel should be YouTube partner and ye, optimized for mobile. I think some videos shot in 720p with smartphones and directly uploaded to yt allow that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
in the vibrant forum, they hacked a Froyo version of the new YouTube app, you can try that and see if you get better quality.

aside that, there are many other better 3rd party apps that can download & stream video from youtube site on HD

just type in the name of the video you want to watch and it goes straight in HD

like Tube-Mate for YouTube

i made that as my default youtube app

there is also another one that also always plays/downloads only HD versions like Tube-Mate for YouTube, but forgot the name of that other app
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXQBLGH:
Umm no.

I'm not one for all the technical details on what the phone can or can't display but there is a CLEAR difference when it comes to streaming youtube. HD vids I load on my phone are CRISP. So-called HD on youtube when streamed on the SGS is not even near crisp, while on the iphone (my sister has one) it is crisp.

A VERY good example is this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdtejCR413c

using the youtube app on the phone, if you search up "lebron commercial" and stream it in "HQ" note the quality. Then use Tube Mate another app to download the video in 720p quality and watch it on your video player.

HUGE difference in quality. It's noticeable.

I'm sorry but I don't understand how people can not notice the quality difference. HQ and HD is a big difference. I've never streamed an HD youtube video and had it appear sharp on my phone. The words HQ appear at the top and the lower quality is definitely noticeable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXQBLGH:
hey just wondering, I used Tube-Mate but even when streaming that lebron commercial it only shows up as HQ, not HD.

If I download it with Tube-mate in 720p and watch it in video player, THEN it's in HD....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
This is a function of the Youtube app itself and NOT something merely SGS related. Want to get mad about it...Write google. This occurs on all android phones running the Youtube app...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
video quality difference is definitely there

the problem comes with the 3G/3.5G speeds

HD plays fine on WiFi, but not on 3.5G (HSPDA)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXQBLGH:
I realize that. I did ask why wont google let us stream in HD.

HD plays fine on WIFI for you?

seriously?

errr I can't possibly have a worse YT app then yours, mine is 2.0.26.

The button says HQ, not HD at the top of the video.

As mentioned, if I stream it's high quality, but not sharp.

Use Tube-Mate to download same vid in 720p, then watch in video player = HD quality and very very sharp.
