Hi all,

I'm new here so I want to welcome everybody first :)

I have been using my HD2 for only a few days. I've bought the Incipio dermaSHOT Silicone Case at speedshop.hu for 3990 HUF (about 14,26 EUR). I'm mostly satisfied, the disadvantages are that it also coveres the buttons so they are not lit, and though case is opened at the volume button, it is hard to push it as the case is thick. Anyway the hole for the speaker and the status led is perceft, so are the 3 holes on the back for the flash, camera and loudspeaker, and the one on the bottom for USB and headphones. The grip is also very good.

I've ordered the Vikuiti™ screen protector DQC160 during Christmas at protectionfilms24.com, it was shipped on Monday and has already arrived today, so I've just applied them. I've bought 3 so I had to pay for 2 (19,90 EUR total). It was sent as a normal letter, and considering the Hungarian Post is very slow, this is great (domestic letters usually take more time to be delivered...).

As this is my first post I'm not allowed to post links :confused::mad:

I want to buy a car holder and charger, as I have Nav N Go iGO8 Europe navigation software on my HD2. The one made by HTC seems to be very expensive, and I want one where I don't have to remove the silicone case. Any recommendations? I also need a bigger microSD card.
[HD2 Accessories] Archer:
Use Nitrogen. The audio volume still doesn't work, but you can go into the equaliser and modify the pre-gain level, which does affect volume on those headphones. I <3 my HBH-IS800s :)
[HD2 Accessories] htchd2owner:
I agree with your statement.I use the same original pouch from HTC and it feets and looks great.

Regards,

John
[HD2 Accessories] Ryukeima:
I very highly recommend the screen protectors from REALOOK off of ebay. I have always ended up purchasing replacements for other companies screen protectors from them because they have always fit my phone screens perfectly and completely, and the HD2 one even comes with a camera screen protector, which I have never seen from anyone else.
[HD2 Accessories] lhayati:
Definitely the extended battery pack :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cire253:
is there a way to get the TW version from Obsidian on Fusion 1.2?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Not that I know of. Obsidian is a 2.2 ROM that includes Samsung's updated 2.2 TouchWiz interface. I don't think it is compatible with a 2.1 ROM. Someone wiser than I may be able to clarify better, but I'm pretty sure the new TWiz is exclusive to 2.2

Fusion is a TWiz free ROM anyway. If you want TWiz on a 2.1 ROM load up Bionix Final. It still has TWiz.
[General Questions and Answers] Spideyrocks:
Hey guys,

After that, whatever number I type and try to unlock, the phone wont even say wrong password! It is STILL.

Pls help guys!:confused::confused::(:(
[Focus General] notthatwillsmith:
I just got a Samsung Focus, and am wondering why the mic on my headset isn't working with this phone. My headset is a Shure M115+, which works fine with iPhones and my Samsung Captivate, but it doesn't seem to work with the Focus. I don't think there's a hardware problem, since the pack-in headset works fine with the Focus. It seems like some sort of crazy compatibility bug. Is there anything I can do?
[Focus General] AyanamiZer00:
Interesting - I tried answering a call with my roommate's iPhone 4 headset, which has worked just fine on my HD2, my Vibrant, and my Nexus, but didn't work on this. Haven't tried the bundled one, because my ears just don't deal well with in-ear headsets.
[Focus General] ktdan1:
Some one had mentioned that HTC and Samsung do not use the same connection setup.
[Focus General] notthatwillsmith:
For what it's worth, my headset works with the Samsung Captivate (AT&T's version of the Galaxy S).
[Focus General] foxbat121:
The mic pin is wired differently. That's why it doesn't work for you. There are two different types of wiring: iPhone types and Nokia types. Samsung can pick any type they want, even between different models, just to screw you up with those accessories (old trick).
[Focus General] rhart20:
I'm using a set of ultimate ears triplefi.10vi which work with the iphone and have no issues.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
It's getting kinda annoying to answer the same questions all over again.

To avoid that, I've made FAQ section in Wiki, in which all the super-popular questions like "Can anyone port Copy-Paste / widgets / things from Sense", "Why do I get blank screen after flashing custom recovery", "Running out of space", are answered.

If anyone can format it better, correct/add something, etc - you're welcome, you know, it's Wiki, collaboration tool ;)

So if you feel like you're answering the same question for the 5th time - maybe it's a good idea to put it into the FAQ.
[Nexus One General] YoMarK:
This will surely help, but you have to accept that some people just don't read FAQ's or use the search function, because:

1) They are lazy

2) If they knew that it's a frequently asked question, they probably shouldn't have asked it.

3) They want a personalized answer.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Of course :) I've been on forums way too long to hope that things will be that easy.

I've meant to accomplish something else with this FAQ - The answer "Read Q7 in the FAQ" is much shorter than writing the actual answer.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Great idea Jack!

I was just thinking about doing something similar. I was thinking more of a troubleshooting guide, but trying to serve the same purpose...
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Whats this white thing on the bottom of the nexus one? It's right under the four buttons and right above the usb port.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Isn't that the front facing camera that Cyanogen ported?
[Nexus One General] crachel:
I added a question & answer.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Haha I love how the n1 forum resorts to humor when theirs nothing to report on. Only help noobs and wait for gingie.

[Galaxy Tab General] elnoxvie:
Now that next gen galaxy tab has been confirmed with 1200 x 600 with super amoled on engadget.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/10/samsung-7-inch-super-amoled-panel-showcased-on-next-gen-galaxy/

i would like to find out if you guys who currently own galaxy tabs will regret buying them?
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Whats the current Tabs screen res?

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab General] elnoxvie:
1024 x 600.. Just would like to find out from you guys cozs i just placed an order before i saw the news and feel it is totally suck.
[Galaxy Tab General] koven:
don't regret...
[Galaxy Tab General] ianford10:
No regrets buying 1st gen tab. Besides can always ebay it and put towards next model so no issues :)

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
did you guys even get the time when it will be launched? i would prefer the 2nd gen of course but if it takes a long time to mass produce it especially the S-amoled ones, then i better keep this one 1st
[Galaxy Tab General] Garret:
Update: Samsung's official note on the matter lists a WSVGA resolution (i.e. 1024 x 600 as on the current Tab) and some amateur geometry applied to the image does indeed show the prototype screen above has a smaller ratio than the requisite 2:1 for a 1200 x 600 pixel display. Ah well, we still want one.

So, the only difference is the super amoled display. Well, no regrets here either. I think it'll take them a few months anyway ^^
[Galaxy Tab General] danamoult:
Scenario: you regret buying first gen so you wait until the second gen comes out. You buy second gen, then Samsung announce third gen, and you regret buying second gen. The circle repeats.

Sounds familiar.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Hehe. This is the situation you have when buying any kit if tech these days.

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab General] antz88c:
Not at all. I'm enjoying my SGTab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
We have no idea when it will be out. Remember the first gen is out in the states only... today ! And yes, 3rd, 4th, etc... gen will be even better

You can wait forever. the big disappointment would be if they launch it after 3 or 4 months but I doubt it

You can anyway always update later and give your first gen to your GF, or use as a nice remote for home automation or lots of other stuff

No regrets to have
[Galaxy Tab General] zetsurin:
I personally don't care, I'll be happy enough when my Tab arrives. Although I do think this is foolish on Samsung's part to be showing off the potential next model when they are busy trying to sell the first. As much as I dislike Apple, they do get a lot of things right and companies like Samsung would do well to follow their lead by keeping a tight lid on their internal developments.
[Galaxy Tab General] elnoxvie:
Thanks guys. I have decided to keep my order..:)
[Galaxy Tab General] johnnewhouse:
my understanding is that the factory they need to mass produce these larger super amoled screens will not be ready until feb/march time. i remember them saying that in wont be until qtr 2 2011 before they will be available in large numbers.
[Galaxy Tab General] zetsurin:
That's the spirit, as if you wait for the new model you'll likely find them showing off the 3rd gen just as you place your order. Can't win, so rather than keep waiting you can just go ahead and enjoy what's out now.
[Galaxy Tab General] snudel:
resolution will be same. the initial news was wrong.

i dont regret. its a great tab
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
And see a massive drop in sales/revenue/profits?

Samsung aren't like Apple, they don't just stick their logo on a finished product and sell it on, they manufacture everything themselves from the individual components through to finished consumer products.

A large part of their business is based around selling those components to other companies, it's Samsung's AMOLED panels that were in the likes of the HTC Desire until supply issues forced the switch to Sony's S-LCD panels instead. So if they stop showing off new things like their 7" S-AMOLED panels, then they risk losing sales.

Anyway, the fact that they have demoed this new S-AMOLED panel in a Tab-like device doesn't necessarily mean they are already working on the Tab's successor. All we know is that they are developing a 7" S-AMOLED display (frankly not much of a surprise) and they are showing it off at a trade-show.

Given how difficult it is to make one slate-style device look different to any other one, is anyone shocked that their demo unit looks a lot like a Tab? There's only so many ways of designing an all-touchscreen device before it resembles something else that's already out there.

Plus it wouldn't be much of a surprise if they'd just stuck one into a Tab instead of building all-new custom hardware just for demo purposes, it would save money, which would make a lot of sense.
[Galaxy Tab General] kiawui:
No regrets. Its in many ways better than Apple. I even downloaded a movie with it and unzipped it there and then.

But really curious about how very different it can be when compared to the AMOLED. I feel this is already very nice.
[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
I enjoy using the Galaxy Tab mark-1 everyday, it is a very effective laptop companion (it has replaced many of my "desktop" applications), and of course it is also useful as a standalone portable device, on-the-go.

Sure, it'll be obsoleted faster than we can blink, but that's always the case with electronic gadgets...ask Apple fans ;)

At any rate, if one is not in a rush to buy, there will be a lot more purchase options during Q1 2011, including devices powered by Tegra 2, with better displays, etc. Worth the wait for those who can, otherwise I say: buy now and enjoy the productivity boost (unless you play Angry Birds for too long of course ;) ).
[Galaxy Tab General] epakrat75:
I believe I read that Samsung won't be selling these screens or devices using them until Summer 2011. Not interested in waiting that long.
[Galaxy Tab General] Picea:
No regrets. I've been using Tab now for two weeks, and I love it.:D

Sure I'll change it to a better one some day. When a better one arrives, but when will it happen, remains to be seen. And by that day I'll have a loooot of experience, which I'll never get by just waiting a better device.
[Galaxy Tab General] mijabaja:
No regret. Have the Tab for almost 2 weeks now, and every day I feel that the first time in my life I have a mobile device that fullfills every needs of mine, without compromises. But it's just me, maybe my standards are too low :)

I do know that there will be better/nicer/cheaper devices in the future, but that's how it is... (see also the cycle in the posts above). I try to enjoy it NOW, and it's not very hard :)
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
No, I don't think so!

Normally I'd be responding to this on my Macbook, but now I'm responding using Tapatalk on the Tab because it's more comfortable to do so.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] elnoxvie:
All i can tell the main differences are:

1. viewing angle is large in S-Amoled

2. Battery life will be significantly improved since it's a led display

3. The screen will last longer

4. The screen is brighter but not necessary better under the sunlight.
[Galaxy Tab General] jaffanz:
No regrets. Won't be in new zealand for awhile and will cost. So ordered from uk, handtec site. Arrived to the bottom of the world in 5 days. Also cheaper that way. Though I always buy out-right so can enjoy unlocked, unbranded phones etc.

Sweet as device, battery is very good. Put it to work as a business tool straight away, brilliant.
[Galaxy Tab General] lazy_rider:
The only thing that disappoints me a bit about the first gen tab on T-Mobile is that it doesn't support HSPA+. If a tablet comes out in the next few months that does I might feel a slight bit of regret, but I'm really waiting for LTE. Assuming that LTE tablets are still almost a year away, I think I will be able to get enough use out of this to justify the price before anything comes out that will make me really want to upgrade.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deiisel:
edit---

solved. close please. had to allow su access on my phone when i typed su in the cmd prompt LOL i feel stupid. i watched the video on theunlockr website but it was blocked by my adblocker and i didnt know it was there until i read a comment saying something about a video ._.

edit--

sorry

Hi, so im new to this stuff. i followed theunlockr guide to rooting the g1 with androot and got that done fine.

Now I've moved to flashing a custom recovery and I placed the flash_image and the recovery.img on the root of my sdcard and went to terminal typed su and all that good stuff. and it just says flash_image not found or something. so i tried the adb method and all is good, i type su and when as im typing the "mount -o,exec...." all of a sudden it just says Permission denied when I haven't even pressed enter.

And now I'm stuck...what could I do to solve this problem? Do I not have su access in adb?
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Hi I wonder if anyone is having similar problems or has any suggestions. I recently got the omnia 7 on Orange.

The problem is that overnight my phone will completely lose its data connection. I will still have voice and text services. It will stay without a data service until I either reset the phone or re-scan for available networks. I've rang Orange and they've referred it to their tech department. It seems strange though as before i HD no problems on my touch HD.

The problem seems to happen between 1 and 2 am every night. According to the last successful email sync. After the connection is lost I have no data symbol displayed next to signal strength either.

Really frustrating :(
[Omnia 7 General] parvil:
Similar thing happens to me, but it loses connection maybe after 2 days, sometimes after a week.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
I never found a solution to this and so it still happens.

Only happens in my flat overnight, well most nights. Some nights it won't happen. I've only had it happen one other time away from here which was travelling up to Scotland thorugh some poor reception areas.

From this I concluded it is a network issue, something to do with the data connection shutting off. More specifically something to do with the crossing between Orange and T-Mobile's network since they started the sharing / roaming.

If i stay in an area with good signal it never happens.
[Omnia 7 General] parvil:
Agree, cause usually I notice this problem when data connection switches to Edge.. I was hoping NoDo will solve this... but no :(
[Desire HD General] Milali:
When you click the power button it loads to the lock screen.

On that screen above the 'pull down to unlock' text there is some text I think its of my carrier.

How can you change that text? (currently it says Crazy Johns) and I would preffer my own name...

Thanks

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ruffrider5956:
I was wondering how do you change the data.img. A lot of roms come with 1gb and 512mb data.img files so I was wondering how do change them do you just put them in place of the root.fs because thats the only other data.img I can see in my rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SteveDeckchair:
The data.img file is created by Android the first time you boot a ROM. At a basic level (ie my level!) it defines your free memory size (how much space you have to fill with Apps). You can define what size data.img you want in the startup.txt of most builds (512Mb, 1Gb, etc).

I haven't come across any builds with a data.img already included, although I have been using Bangsters for some time.

If you want to change it, just delete it and when you re-boot a new one will be created. Make sure you backup all your settings and apps though as it will wipe all this. Titanium backup is a free app in Marketplace.

If you want to copy one across, then just overwrite your existing one and re-boot. I've done that with previous builds.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Chewychopsuey:
I just got the new OTA update. If we use the tethering or the wifi spot will we be charged extra?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
It just occurred to me a bit ago that this could be why my 720p videos suck more then the next lesser resolution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
I have a class 6 and havent seen an improvement over class 2, the video records at a slower speed than your card can handle so it shouldn't matter,

I can backup roms quicker though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
thank you for the reply.

so the crappy 720p video was a marketing scam or what?

i love this phone, and i thought the video shot very good till i noticed that it wasnt set to 720p, so i bumped it up thinking it would look even better....lol it looks worse.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
Umm lets see:

1280*720 = 921'600 pixels

Assume that the camera records @ 8 bpp (24 bit color) * 24 fps = 921'600 * 24 * 24 = 530'841'600 bps... that is 531 Mbps or 63.28 MB/s.

So theoretically, yes a higher speed media would yield a better quality (note that the calculations above do not take in consideration the CPU and the compression, also notice that the sound is not included). Even at the crappy 12 fps, the required sustained speed is still higher than any microsd card out there.

Calculations taken as reference from here
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlisak25:
agreed i have a class 6 micro sd n the video quality still sucks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhutpham:
I think the various codecs and compression make these numbers much less significant, but since I don't know the exact numbers I'm would have to speculate on how much the sd card speed matters.

I have heard that for some cameras the sd card speed can affect video capture.

Probably the way the phone handles the compression is the major cause of choppiness for our phones though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
they compress the video so the crappy class 2 cards the phones come with can keep up, someone would have to change the codec so it doesn't compress it as much.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jojotm:
Minidoudou is available online! There is still work to do, but it is already fully functional and you can try it on to configure your own mod of CyanogenMod 6.1.0 for HTC Dream / Sapphire.

Try it on here: http://minidoudou.joelcogen.com

and let me know what you think!

Todo (in the order it will be done, probably)

- Connect to an external storage provider (sendspace)

- Make it pretty

- Fix IE UI issues

- Add system/data option, with a nice drag&drop

- Add advanced mode, with moving of any APK in the ROM

- Display "hand" cursor on draggable elements

- Check /system size

- Fix changes application order

- Add deprecation to APKs

- Users management for contributors

- Select field for mutually exclusive packages (kernel)

- Fix double upload issue

- Whatever you suggest below :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jojotm:
There has already been some discussion about how much control to include, so here is a first poll: How much control would you like when using Minidoudou?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] milowke:
I'm not sure if it's the rom or my phone,

But I've used your rom, and ir worked great.

When I walked trough the city that evening

I was looking for wifi (without passwords) when I found one,

I tried to connect, but it only said, getting IP adress, connecting and again getting IP,...

Even on my home wifi I had this problem. So i did a full wipe and reinstalled the minimou Final version.

Can you please tell me if this is rom based or just bad luck with the wifi on my phone?

And you are doing a great job, I also tried smoki rom, but it had some lag on the UI.

It would be nice aswell if we could put custom icons (of the topbar) and custom battery Icon :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jojotm:
Hi,

You're the first to report wifi problems, so I'll look into it.

As for the icons, it might be hard because that means customizing the theme, something I don't have a lot of luck with. I'm keeping it in mind, and once it is stable and has most of its functionnalities regarding packages, I'll look into it or for a contributor with theming experience.

Thanks for your feedback!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] milowke:
Your welcome,

And Thank you for your work on this lovely rom.

I have made a new package on your website, and i'm going to use it again.

I'll report any issues I have :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] milowke:
Not sure if I'm allowed to do this double post thing.

But when I tried to download the rom I found an issue.

Wen you click on download you get the link like this

http://minidoudou.joelcogen.com/download/MDD_HTC_Sapphire_CyanogenMod_610_RC1_Milow_Testingzip

So when you save it, it's just a file, no zip file

So you have to put a dot in front of the zip yourself ;)

NOt sure if you noticed it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jojotm:
Didn't notice that. It's fixed.
