[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
+1 I love HTC phones, I will say that sometimes their build quality feels rushed.. but they pump out a lot of phones. My hero and evo have had great DEV support and HTC does a pretty decent job with updates.

Samsung, IMO, is the worst when it comes to quality, dev support and updates... it's just not a good idea to have samsung make a 2nd generation nexus IMO... so so sad
[EVO 4G General] om4:
i cant say i like the galaxy series, the epic feels cheap and somewhat clunky to me, htc phones have their problems as well but i'd take htc over sammy any day, it seems crazy that just a few years ago htc was selling great phones left and right and still reporting quarterly losses, now they seem to be doing better then ever and it looks like they are really starting to step it up when it comes to developing sense, hopefully they will only pick up more steam
[EVO 4G General] jmollabi:
I had the nexus one the day it came out..payed the 529 plus tax n was loving it..it was a very snappy phone running cyanogen 5..update were awesome..trackball notificatons were cool..but basically the evo is the big brother of the nexus one..evo is the ROOT of HTC
[EVO 4G General] amartyca:
I tried out the nexus one for 30 days on at&t early this year when I was still an iphone user and must say the N1 is the DAMN SEXIEST PHONE EVER MADE! I ended up sending mine back because I couldn't justify spending $500+ on a phone. Even though I still miss the hell out of that phone I'm not sure I could get up my evo's bigger screen and 4G data.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
The botched touch screen was a serious deal breaker for me with the Nexus. I had one for a while, and I liked it, but I can't go less than 4.3 now. I just can't.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
The only thing I love about the N1 is the fact that it gets lightning fast updates.
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
Engadget just posted an article starting the nexus one will be getting gingerbread in the next few days! That is one thing to admire about it
[EVO 4G General] magicriggs:
What about the kickstand! If the nexus had a kickstand and front facing camera .... oh boy I would be tempted to get it. (Again) had the nexus before got bored of vanilla. Just flash cyanogen 6.1 on the evo. There you go you have a nexus minus the trackball. I mean if I had a nexus that's the rom I would run. Might as well. Same same.
[EVO 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
Ugh, what a useless feature for me. Just something else to wipe off and worry about not being scratched. :) I would much rather have a trackball!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mohamed2900:
my sd card is kingston sdc4\8gb formatted as FAT32

i did almost averything but still cannot flash ROMs from it

any idea?:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
What's the error?

Are you certain you renamed the .nbh file to topaimg.nbh?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] joooe:
Very easy:

- Download the rom you want.

- Rename the rom file to topaimg.nbh

- Copy this file to the root of the card

- Press the 2 up/down volume buttons (on the side of the phone) and softreset.

- Once you see the coloured screen release the buttons
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mohamed2900:
as i saied i did almost every thing :D

yes i renamed it to topaimg.nbh

yes i copied to root of sd card

yes i went to bootloader

but it shows nothing but "serial" :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] joooe:
Probably the phone is locked in your language.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mohamed2900:
actually when i try another sd card it works

my issue is with that specific sd card :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mohamed2900:
any one has any idea??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] joefrank:
I have the same issue I onlocked my sd card ussing a hslp .cab but I can't find it and I lost my sd which I could use to update my roms.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ayan_paul:
I have the exact same microSD card C4/8GB Kingston formatted FAT32 on a HTC Pure. Can't use it to flash. Something must be wrong with this card.

Samsung release the source code to us but don't let us change anything.

Or do they just have to release the source code as its GPL?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chainfire:
There is nothing weird about not providing warranty for software that isn't theirs. The hardware is still theirs though, and they

should

still provide warranty on said hardware.

I have personally encountered issues regarding the same thing with HTC though. In that case, they actually claimed it was the software that damaged the hardware (apparently, HardSPL is bad-ass enough to physically break the digitizer). I had a lawyer look into it, and at least in my country, this practise is illegal - and I would guess the same thing goes for all of EU. However, succesfully fighting it would be much more expensive than the phone is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
Go & buy a DROID/DROID X phone and try hacking its bootloader (which is quite impossible)...

Samsung phones are considered as a picnic in comparison.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fr4gg0r:
I am not complaining about the fact, that Samsung wants to refuse warranty if the device is rooted.

I think the Galaxy S got easier rooted than the Nexus One, since it accepted unsigned update.zips on 2.1 with stock firmware. That was really nice of Samsung in difference to HTC with their two new models..

I'm complaining about the "fact" that it seems as if Samsungs' developers waste their time with develping their ****ty rfs filesystem, different launcher versions for every galaxy model etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bahathir:
Cbeck rooted phone just by app's icon? :)

Next,someone need to change the icon to Angry Birds icon.

Better way to check is by using adb.

adb shell

$ su

# id

......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
These instructions were intended for Samsung's Tier 1 representatives. you think that they know how to run ADB?... :cool:

fr4gg0r - my point is that if Samsung really wanted us to stay away from software modding, they would have acted like Motorola, and encrypted the ass of the sgs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RambJoe:
Yeah they're probably cool with it, obviously they don't want to replace peoples phones for free because of it though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jgclifton:
I'm sceptical that that's even real. The English is absolutely dreadful!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
Which smacks of total authenticity to me...go read some other Samsung documentation, or hell, just wake the phone up from sleep and see:

"Sweep screen to unlock"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nandihno:
LOL didnt realise but you are right! 'sweep'!!

hahaha never though of it! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
This is normal practice, and there are PLENTY of good reasons for doing this:

1) Firstly, you'll notice it says "if it causes instability". As root, you have permission to wipe important system files. It's unfair for Samsung to be forced to pay when the problem is entirely your fault.

2) You can wipe /efs easily

3) There have been cases of new kernel drivers bricking devices on PC's (such as an Intel networking adapter in the linux kernel)

4) With root access, you can trash the bootloader with mere commands

5) 3rd party programs suddenly have permission to do all these things, and trojans can trash the system easier.

It's fair to do, and remember, many embedded devices have similar policies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jgclifton:
^ mm it's all pretty obvious stuff. You would hope they don't use this as a reason not to fix hardware faults though.

And, sweep does *sort of* make sense.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
lol samsung is a bunch of tards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Nothing wrong with saying sweep screen to unlock.

This announcement is news? Seriously? Everyone seriously thought that manufacturers were cool with you rooting the phone and getting access to the system files and stuff?

Come on people, wake up and smell the coffee....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Technecium:
hahahah .. That was the first thing I though!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adzam3:
If they had made a fully functional phone then i guess we don't have to screw around with it. The problem was created by them guess the guys here are just rooting their phone and adding fixes to make it usable. I for one would have smashed my phone if not for fixes offered in this forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Billus:
Correct spelling brah.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pujolsk:
ha ha ha man, you made my morning with angry birds icon proposal

good one
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
it's fine that they shield their supports from issues with root. root programs can do anything in the phone and they can't really help you with that as part of the warranty. you need to pay extra if *you* screw up the phone.

Warranty is only for errors from Samsung.

Since rooting is so easy and the phone is more open than others (its still far from perfect on that side btw, but better than the rest), I wouldn't complain, it's actually pretty cool.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MagicOnline:
I am the owner of this phone and therefore it belongs to me and I can do whatever I want with it, even rooting is one of my rights. Owner = root rights!

IMO. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Just normal behavior

Just like if you'd bought a car, the thing's yours, that's for sure! But no maker will garanty the thing if you descide to open the engine and change the programing of the ECU (car's computer).

They should sell a "dev. waranty" to our kind, that would be a good thing!

But then, if you consider the device as a computer, they should waranty the hardware like any computer maker/seller. I can surely understand why they wouldn't waranty software (as users are prone to screw this one) but it's another deal for hardware!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] UnRelevant:
Or, if unwilling to support altered firmware; provide the ability to blow the stock firmware into the device which formats and sets everything back to stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Isn't Odin able to do that?

As long as you can get download mode, you'd be ok right?

Finally a convincing video of the HD2 running WP7

In the few months i have been a member i have picked up on a few things and i remember reading how similar the HD2 is to the evo and am wondering if once this port is finished if it will be able to make its way to the evo.

To the flamers: Yes I also love android but WP7 has some really awesome apps and would just be fun to be able to run for whatever reason.

Hey there guys,

I switched to android using Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution on my HTC HD2 and noticed it had facebook 1.3 .. So I tried updating it directly to 1.4 but it marketplace couldnt install it.

I manually deleted the folder in System and now I dont have facebook, mission accomplished ...

So I got the newer version manually and placed it in various locations in the sd card, but each time I run the program, it fails to install !!!

But now I dont have net connection >:(
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
So here is the thing, usually when you go into the text logs for a person it is laid out like this:

2: them

3: you

4: them

But I noticed this morning it switched to

1:you

2:you

3:you

etc...

4:them

5:them

This makes it really hard to keep track of what is going on or what a message is replying to. I don't remember how I fixed it last time, and I also don't remember having this problem pre-flash when I was on stock kernel with JH7. Is there a setting for this? Or a way to reset the Messaging app :confused: :confused: This would be like IMng someone on MSN or AIM and just having every reply from each person together, instead of in order like a real conversation.

I am using Cognition 2.2 beta 9.0 Also now the messaging app doesnt put threads in order from recent to oldest :confused:

[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
Anyone know if it is going to be possible to port the WiFi calling app over from the G2 or MT4G to the Vibrant? I really need that functionality! :-)
[Vibrant General] rlxurmnd:
flash one of the new 2.2 roms and you will have wifi calling
[Vibrant General] Segnaro:
Yeah, flash a 2.2 from the dev section.

Looks like wifi calling will be added to the official update whenever that comes out.
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
Yeah, I'm guessing we haven't been completely left out when it comes to updates and features, just low on their priority list. Wifi calling on the 2.2 roms works great, I just wish it were like uma on blackberrys which doesn't use your plan minutes.
[Vibrant General] quadratic:
UMA on the BlackBerries works the exact same way. The only way to not use your plan minutes is if you have the old grandfathered unlimited UMA plan.

The thread above let g1 users upgrade to the new spl and radio found in the mytouch 3G 2.2.1 OTA and that gave them access to 15 mb of more RAM.

Sorry, but probably will never happen. Ok, I know ya have gpu, and cortex and blahblah, but ps2 games needs a completely different environment to run. One of my friends has got a 2GHz Intel dualcore cpu with gpu video card and they even run laggy. Just to let you know
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
No. The psx4droid is running older games and it can just barely be playable on some phones. You would have to a) write the best emulator ever in the world or just wait until the hardware is fast enough for it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] \/icious:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XGX5309:
While the SGX540 is a great GPU for a mobile device, it's still not a 16 pipeline part with 48GB/s memory bandwidth. The SGX540 has a max memory bandwidth of 4.2GB/s with only 4 pipelines. Memory bandwidth aside, I'm sure that it could handle PS2 games in some respect... though even then it would still stutter pretty bad. Memory bandwidth kills the idea. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
I do not think that we will ever see PS2 emulated in software on a Galaxy S Phone. The PS2 has one of the most difficult setups to emulate with multiple processors running in tandem at different frequencies. Even the PS3 had to have some or all of the chips on board in order to have the ability to run PS3 games. Once Sony decided to remove those chips as a cost cutting measure, bye bye backwards compatibility. If Sony can't do it, what makes you think a bunch of hackers can.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jakebriggs:
Hi guys

I have noticed something weird. My phone won't ring when the screen is locked, in fact, it doesn't show the incoming call screen or anything. Eventually, I am told that "the cell phone I am trying to ring is either turned of or outside the cell phone network" by a pre-recorded message. I am running 2.1 black Quarx.

Its very strange, if the phone is unlocked and I ring it then it rings and everything is fine. If I ring it while its locked, then unlock it, then sometimes after 10 seconds it might ring eventually.

Has anybody got any idea about what is going on?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jakebriggs:
Actually, its a little more complicated as I have found out while been playing around a bit today. If I leave it for say more than 10 minutes, it won't ring. If I leave it alone for 10 minutes, then ring and let the phone ring for a minute my cell won't ring. If I hit the home button which wakes the screen up, the phone will - after a 2 or 3 seconds delay - show the incoming call screen and start ringing! It doesn't seem to matter if its plugged in or not, in fact, I can run "adb catlog" while ringing! Nothing in the logs seem to hiont at what the issue is.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] skribbler86:
I used to get something similar to what you are experiencing but somehow along the way the problems just stopped. I think its because I've flashed my phone so many times. Just reflash your phone and see if that helps. If it doesn't then flash to a different 2.1 version
