[G2 and Desire Z General] chizu989:
Had mine a couple of days (Desire Z purchased in the UK) and here are some impressions (coming from a nexus one):

-Screen is amazingly crisp, viewing angle of it is amazing, no loss of colour even looking at the screen from extreme angles

-Trackpad is very responsive, even more so than the ball on the N1

- New HTC sense is very pretty, much more customisable than my first experience of it on the Hero

- Oh god the boot times. For those of you who haven't done so yet - reboot your phone. Mine, even fully laden with apps shuts down in under 2 seconds and boots up in 2-3. The boot screen is there long enough for the startup sound to play, then the phone is 100% operational. Never seen such a fast boot on a smartphone.

- Aluminium is nice and even the plastic parts feel nice and sturdy

- Speaker is a little tinny, but as all i'll ever hear out of it are ringtones and notifications, not a massive issue

- Keyboard is hands down the best i've used on a mobile device (though I occasionally suffer from the aforementioned issue with the backlight being intermittent, it seems to be a rare occurrence)

- Seems faster and more responsive than my rooted and overclocked N1

- Side buttons are solid and easy to press, nice coming from an N1 with its slightly flaky power button

- The hinge. I have no issue with it and think it's a very well engineered solution to revealing the keyboard. While yes, if you pick the whole unit up by the screen or hold it upside down it flops a bit, I never hold my phone like this so it's a total non-issue. In standard use it has never opened or closed without me wanting it to. Perhaps it varies by region, as I haven't experienced the screen wobble while the hinge is closed either.

Overall exceedingly happy with it, without doubt the best qwerty handset i've ever used.
[G2 and Desire Z General] awryter:
So I'm having a weird issue that I haven't been addressed yet. I have a review unit for my site, thecellularguru.com, as well as one I bought for myself because I loved it so much and wanted to use it on Rogers.

Both units have phantom screen touches where every once in a while the phone will become possessed and start selecting things randomly. I can sometimes make it stop by holding a finger down on the screen which seems to snap it out of its weirdness but it always comes back. One unit was barely functional so I returned it and the other one seems better but its quite disconcerting.

Anyone else had these problems?
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
Odd i havent seen that at all
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Just in case you didn't realise, it's not really booting. All it's doing there is hibernating and then restoring itself. If you do a full reboot it will take a *lot* longer. It's a nice trick.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chizu989:
Good point, pulling out the battery then booting results in a longer boot time, but strangely still faster than the N1
[G2 and Desire Z General] ale58:
Can it be related to the issue of the touchpad being triggered from ambient light change as reported for the G2?

Hi Devs... do you know if there is a way to change the jpeg compression on Xperia X10 with android 2.1? is a little frustrating to have a 8mpx camera and be limited to 2mb photos...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adolf1994:
8MP in a ~2MB jpeg is normal. My bro's pro Canon makes 3MB raw picture, but it's only 2MP :P

So what? Wait till the bootloader gets cracked. Did you see maxfron's latest post? He makes great progress on it ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theeedy:
We don't have to wait.

Just use a different Camera-Application ( I use Camera 360 Pro, it compresses less)

Or decompile and rewrite the SE Camera-Application. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrygar:
the problems is, the photos taken with the stock camera the quality of jpeg compression is very poor... i don't like vignette or camera 360, just don't feel good with the interface and in all that options there is no way to change the ISO value nor the shutter velocity, neither with the stock camera app but at least is "free".

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casanovacoconut:
I don't think the raw format has been implemented yet in the android SDK. There are placeholders for raw functionality however. So perhaps eventually.

As for JPG compression I would think the stock sony cam app makes the most of the camera and sets quality to 100. JPG is a lossy format though so will not be perfect.

Try turning image stabilization off. It will result in a sharper image.

I started with a other problem, well i solved that one but another problem poped up...

My phone: HTC touch HD.

The rom i use: kwbr topix version 3.6

mmm i can't put an link in this post so the thread is: showthread.php?t=460640

The new problem:

My phone is acting weird again..

The problem is the startup now.

It takes around 5 min to get to the home screen.

But when you think its finaly started, then there appears an error:

Run FILEOP

\windows\Menu_FILEOP_Operator.txt

faild.

What can i do about this?

Hardreset again?

(this would be my 13th time that my phone crashed... i'm becomming crazy..)

Between my latest post (see the link above) and this one i HR my phone around 3 times... that's in a time period of a month.. i've had it with the damn thing...

---SOLVED---

Hi

Im missing marketplaces suddenly, was only starting eBook and then a update of some sort started and next second the market.app terminated and all its icons disappeard??

i might also miss the app itself in /system/app/ could only find marketupdater.apk

anyone with ideas?

best regards

pete

------------Edit----------

Had to follow this guide:

1. Go to internal memory root

2. navigate to /system/app

3. Locate Vending.apk

4. push on it to install it

It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work

If you still encounter Force Close or download issues. Do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)

1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

2. Chose All

3. Find Market

4. Push on it and select Clear data

Market.app is back

I have been using Skyraider roms for a while now and love them, but since i have been doing the updates I have run out of room on my SD card. Can someone please tell me the files that can be deleted off of the card. I always do a backup when installing a rom, can i delete it ? if so what is the file name? please help.... oh yeah it on a droid incredible
[General Questions and Answers] ja-finn:
I would simply copy everything you need to an external SD card or computer and do a full wipe/factory reset before installing the latest rom. This should clear everything unnecessary and most likely speed up your phone

[Vibrant General] outkast123:
Two weeks ago i received the ji6 update

last night, my phone received a firmware update

i thought it was the froyo update

i installed the new firmware

once i installed it, i noticed i was missing features

i no longer had the task manager or media Hub

i checked my phone's info and the firmware update actually brought me back to 2.1 update1

Anyone have any idea what's going on?
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Both the original JFD and the OTA JI6 (as well as all the intermediary leaked firmwares) are 2.1 update1. 2.1 update1 denotes the current revision of Eclair itself, while JFD and JI6 denote revisions of Samsung's verion of 2.1 update1.

So take a peek again and see which version of Samsung's baseband is installed.
[Vibrant General] outkast123:
it says T959UVJFD
[Vibrant General] Shack544:
To see your baseband and firmware versions, make sure to use Settings/About Phone..

Seems like we're serving as test beds for the Sammy dev's, maybe not such a bad thing.The j16 update fixed my hardware locked phone. I'm hoping they resolve the battery draining issues before, or with 2.2. :)
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Well, it's safe to say for whatever reason your back on the stock firmware the phone shipped with...
[Vibrant General] NikolaiT:
Happened to me as well, its because JI6 was pulled for being "not so great" (it was bricking too many phones)
[Vibrant General] jellette:
I know this isn't a Cliq forum but my wife is getting an operating system update on her Cliq right now - I wonder if she is beating me to Froyo??!

Edit: I suppose she is actually getting eclair.
[Vibrant General] vamp6x6x6x:
This may be a dumb question but: should I be worried that this hasn't happened to me as of yet?
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
A buddy of mine has had three updates on his. Weird.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
Do you have any actual evidence to support the claim that JI6 was "pulled" (I assume you mean by TMO/Samsung)?
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
JI6 was never pulled and it is actually a great update. Sped the phone up a bit, added some new things, and made the GPS decent. Besides the bricking (which was probably user error) no problems.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Have to disagree with the "great update" part. lol

But as far as the update being pulled, with no word from T-Mo of it being pulled I called BS. Furthermore, why would they push an update to phones and revert them back to JFD? Doesn't make sense.
[Vibrant General] jbayer:
Same thing happened to me this AM. I recieved an exchange unit yesterday, because after the JI6 update, the GPS still would fluctuate all over the map which was especially frustrating when navigating because the app would continuously reroute you. Received the exchange unit, got it set up the way my old phone was, and made sure to check the baseband version. It had JI6. Woke up this morning with an icon similar to the missed call icon, clicked on it, and it said there was a new update from TMobile. Performed update which took about 10 minutes, then checked to see what was different. Checked the basband version and it is now T959UVJFD. Checked GPS with GPS status, and I have strong signal from 13 satelites, but only locked on to 2 with 143 ft accuracy... Last night before the update had accuracy to 12 ft. WTF!
[Vibrant General] samnada:
Have you contacted TMO support? If not, why not? :)

Love to hear what they have to say.
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
I got an OTA last night and now I am running Windows Phone 7, some weird stuff happening here 0.o
[Vibrant General] XxSuntoucherxX:
Possible Theory

While I haven't received either the official OTA, nor the mysterious overnight one, I have a question. Is it possible that the overnight push to revert is an attempt at scrubbing the unofficial JI6 updates from the phone only to install the actual official one? So if we chose to update through Kies originally when it was leaked or some other method, could the be T-mobiles way of resetting and executing?:confused:
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I was kind of thinking the same thing. Is this T-mobiles attempt to flush out the bad update? But why waste the resources to push out a revert "update" to phones? Who knows, it's some kind of consipiracy.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
A poster on another forum claims the same reversion OTA just happened on his phone, and it wasn't even rooted, which wouldn't fit your theory. Although just getting all the relevant facts in these situations is often the biggest obstacle.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Maybe they need to roll us back in preparation for Froyo?

I know, I know, it makes no sense, but none of this makes sense.
[Vibrant General] jbayer:
Yes, I contacted them. They gave me some BS reason that I was reverted, and told me that they would put me on a list to get the JI6 update, and that it would take 2-3 days, so who knows....
[Vibrant General] flamingblue8z:
I also can confirm I just received the update on a new replacement Vibrant (last one had the blue-tint problem). I just stuck my SIM in and started setting it up, then suddenly saw the DM progress indicator in my status bar, followed by the "T-Mobile update service. New Uupdate available" in my notifications. Since there's no information as to what the update does (like the original HTC way of doing it) I have no plans on installing it, since I no doubt will be in the same predicament as others, and I rely heavily on my GPS. I'm hoping that some answers will come soon. T-Mo tech support was kind and she tried researching all kinds of documents internally but no word on JI6 being pulled, or of any kind of other update. I wait with baited breath for a response from T-Mobile and Samsung's "GalaxySsupport" Twitter accounts. I did bring this thread to T-Mobile's attention earlier today on Twitter but never received a response. So I do have to wonder what conspiracy is going on over there.... hopefully it is just a preparation for FroYo. Could really use that right now, I keep wanting to use Chrome to Phone to send pages to my phone LOL.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Somebody is pushing the wrong buttons, damn have to go down to the basement to feed those monkeys.

On a serious note I hope you get your answer from TMO.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Sounds like a bull**** post. T-Mo reverting you back? LOL ya right.

Also who ever said T-Mo "pulled" JI6 is totally full of it. I know someone who bought a Vibrant yesterday, and got the JI6 OTA within an hour of turning the phone on. Pulled my ass.

Plus JI6 in my opinion was a great update. No problems with battery life as some claim. However, the GPS still has issues.
[Vibrant General] ronjeremy11:
i got it too
[Vibrant General] :
me too. had a replacement phone which arrived today, flashed the ji6 update via odin, rooted it, etc., got it back to the way my old one was then all of a sudden an update appeared in the notification menu. not gonna install it though.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
With your attitude :eek: I hope you get the update :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] samnada:
Seems like most (all?) of the reports are on phones just acquired from TMO. No idea what that means, but at least it could limit the "damage".
[Vibrant General] The Tech Game:
ok so yesterday i got a replacment vibrant sinced i broke my other one and it was all wierd, it had a task manager, alot of bloatware removed, a seperate app for an hd camcorder, a new live wallpaper, skype had a voice option, and my phone overall feeled faster, but it still said update 2.1. later on last night i recieved an update, it brang me from the ji6 to the jfd and brought my phone back to normal.

EDIT: and my phone had the "hq" button on the youtube vids

EDIT AGAIN!: and it took alot more sliding to unlock the screen! AND the vibrations were alot more responsive! whyd i accept the stupid update!!! i should have made a vid of it
[Vibrant General] kmdub:
I got "reverted" also, and my phone is not brand new or a replacement. My JI6 was working fine and I got the message to update this morning. After the update I am back to JFD. The only thing unusual about my situation was putting my SIM back in the phone after about a week of being out of the phone. The phone had been off without a SIM for that time. Last night, I decided to start using the phone again after using another Android phone for a bit, and this morning I got the "update." Strange.
[Vibrant General] jmattp:
Weird. How did all (or most) of you apply your first JI6 updates? I used the Mini Kies for Vibrant software to update mine, and I didn't get any notifications for an OTA update.

Actually, last week I used the regular, European Kies application, then Kies updated and showed my device as unsupported. Then I found the Mini Kies specifically for Vibrant and it worked fine.

Did anyone apply the update through Kies? Are you in the US? Maybe that has something to do with it. Try using the application I linked above to get the official JI6 back.
[Vibrant General] kmdub:
In the U.S. here. Running completely stock since day one; no root, nothing but market apps. Upgraded to JI6 using OTA pushed by T-Mobile, which went fine. Everything has been fine on my Vibrant since I got it; no GPS issues, nothing. Continued to work fine with the JI6 update.
[Vibrant General] Ragnarok472:
I'm on an employee plan with Tmobile as I work through a third party retailer. my Vibrant ROM is stock with no modifications. I got JI6 13 days ago. This morning an "update" was waiting for my phone. After it was installed it was reverted to default build ECLAIR without the JI6 part. Now it seems anything JI6 touched when it was installed is now broken. Swype had added a voice input button, after this new fiasco, swype no longer works. I'm currently waiting on an internal customer service number to tell me whats happening.
[Vibrant General] shuka325:
I had the update last night, which i thought was weird since i was running Bionix 1.9.1 and didn't figure i would get those updates. I decided to flash the Fusion ROM instead of taking the update worrying it would brick the phone since i wasn't running stock (and NOT Odin proficient) but thought it very weird it would even see the phone and try to update it.
[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
my wife and i both got this yesterday, huge bummer. Anyone gotten any info out of tmobile about it? maybe some sort of froyo preparation? -who am i kidding
[Vibrant General] dirtyhamster73:
I too received this mystery update this morning. Before receiving it I was on the vibrant forum on tmobile reading all the damage it has done. I decided not to install it and called tmobile. The rep told me it was an update to "optimize user experience"and it was a maintenance update with bug fixes. I told him I was leary of installing it and he said that if things go wrong if/when I install they can get me back to ji6. How else can I get rid of this update? It can't just stay in the mortification bar forever, right?
[Vibrant General] mabaitroy:
Just got my vibrant and received an OTA update last night. Since I was running stock except for unlock I accepted the update and it locked my phone up when it rebooted. I was able to get it back by following some instructions on using ODIN to get to JI6 and all is well now. But I'm very worried about accepting an OTA again. :(

At first I thought it was some odd joke(I have an odd since a humor) but now after reading this post I am wondering what is happening? Is this suppose to happen? And if it is some kind of preparation for Froyo am I not getting Froyo because it has yet to happen to me?
[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
i called tmobile tech support and he just said that the update "is something that samsung did". He couldnt tell me why, i asked if it was in preparation for froyo and he said "possibly". He was just about as helpful as tech support is anytime ive ever called. In other words, im on my own.

Incidentally, aside from removing features and reverting parts of the ui, i noticed Angry Birds no longer shows up in the market, and the update removed it from my phone.

I really like the power of samsungs hardware, but the screen hasnt impressed me compared to my nexus one which isnt even effectively 800x480 according to sources. Point is, I didnt think Samsung would be as bad about updates as so many people told me they are, but here i have a negative update and no explanation for it. Its too bad the Galaxy S has sold so damn well, samsung is on top of the world, im sure they dont feel compelled to help out SGS owners with froyo/update explanations at this point...theyre too busy counting all the dough money in
