It is tmous with a yellow reset button. It works great inside at room temps. Something to mention is that it does this in Android, not sure if it does in winmo cause I only thought to compare today, but its pretty warm today. HTC said that its still.covered by warranty but is one rather not send it in as is have to pay shipping etc.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
Oooh. In android. Your not alone. This happened to my first hd2 with android. I get off the train after a 3 day ride to seattle, then Bam! freaky screen. It froze and usually when the screen turns off, its back. Well, after 20 minutes i hit the reset. The screen never unfroze and i got tmobile to send me a new one. Now i get the new one. Outside? Same thing! I use bangsters with the evo kernel and it does it a LOT less vs. default kernel. If i use gps with the default bangsters kernal, its frozen. period.

Try a different kernel, different build, new radio (?), or even a new windows mobile build.

I am fairly certain, sending it in won't do any good. Your going to be without a phone for a week or more and when you do get it back, same issue. If you know your going to be outside all day and need a working phone, stay in windows mobile. I will bet my life that win mobile will work flawlessly.

I was under the impression that Voice Search (aka Voice Commands) was something you needed to download from the market. However, the built-in widget seems to do everything that Voice Search does. Does this mean that Voice Search cannot be updated if it's a system app?
[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
I found YouTube videos of a guy showing how to change the tray icons on the other Galaxy S phones, but it doesn't work for the Epic 4G.

I'd post the link, but since I'm a new user I can't post the link. Just search for 'change tray icons samsung' in YouTube to see it.

Is there any way to do this on the Epic? Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] keekah:
Disable touchwiz launcher. I can't post links either. Google "disable touchwiz launcher" and you will find it.

No problem. I haven't even gotten my epic yet but I've been reading up on stuff and its just something I picked up.

I remember reading somewhere that Skype will only work on galaxy s with 2.2. and that the "fix" for the epic and other galaxy s as far as skype and other apps like yahoo with video (the official yahoo w/video, not the mytouch4g rip... well thats official too but you know what i mean...) is froyo.

I'm new into the WP7/Mobile modding scene, (just left the X360 and Halo Scene). I made an account on AppHub, only to find out you need to be 18, and my school didn't partake in DreamSpark. I have a few apps i am really keen to debug on my phone, but i wasn't sure of an eta or any developments in running homebrew code on my WP7 (HTC HD7).

If anybody knows of any developments or even links, i would be very greatful. Thanks, Alex.

Buy the dreamspark product at journeyed (its free, no credit card required). You will have to send them some sort of identification and academic verification (class schedule, id, etc). You can read on their site about the verification process/requirements.

Once you're verified you will be emailed with further instructions. Works great! And journeyed is legit, I've bought lots of stuff from there before.

[Galaxy Tab General] liaquila:
Hi I'm from Brasil

Could you share the experience of using the Galaxy Tab as a phone?

The tablet will be released later this month in Brazil and I am strongly inclined to buy one. I have an HTC HD2, but I am attracted by a 7''screen Galaxy. But I really don't want to carry two gadgets in my bag and so I am wondering about using the tablet as a phone too.

In particular I'm not interested in hands-free calls or videoconferencing. I wonder how practical it is to use the bluetooth headset. It stays on all the time, paired with the phone? How well is the battery on the tablet in this configuration? If you take the headset away from the tablet lose the connection, it is restored automatically when it comes within range of bluetooth again?

And what about using it close to your face upside down like a normal phone, as someone suggested lowering the volume and using it close to your ear.

Sorry about my Englixh

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab General] gigafast:
The Galaxy Tab works great as a "speaker phone". I've been using it for the past week and have realized that I don't need my N1 anymore. I'm going to pair my Bluetooth headset to it so that I don't look so stupid in public talking to a tablet. Reception on the Tab and speaker quality are both better than my N1.

Very happy using it as my work device. I still prefer to carry the N1 on the weekends because it fits in my pocket without bulging out.

The Tab battery lasts longer than my N1 battery, so I'm very happy carrying it all day with WIFI and Bluetooth on. The screen is what really kills battery life. I find myself using the Tab more than my cell phone because its actually taking usage time away from my laptop. I can carry the Tab and comfortably reply e-mail and read online content without being tied to a desk. So I still run out of battery at days end, however I'm getting much more use out of it than my N1.

Make sure you pickup a version that has the phone features. US models do not have Phone supported. I got a Asia version and it is working great on AT&T in US. I'm able to get online with the 2100 band.
[Galaxy Tab General] liaquila:
Thanks for your answer! As I said, I'll try to use my Tab to make phone calls and leave my phone at home.

The sales suppose to begin next week here in Brasil. As soon as I put my hands in one I'll share my experiences. Of course being a woman and carrying a purse will help to use just the Tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] mklass:
I have been using the tab as a phone for over a week now I can say its a joy. On the other hand you will have to carry your bluetooth headset or ear phones with you at all times... If you forget them and need to make a 'private' call its not gonna happen with the speaker phone ha..

The size doesnt bother me as it slips in my back pocket when on the phone.. I would always have a spare phone thats worth about 20 quid just for weekend in the clubs and partying and stuff like that
[Galaxy Tab General] Picea:
I've been using Tab as my work phone a couple of weeks.

It fits in my trousers hip pocket, no problem. But it weights 380 g, which is something to notice. (If I carry my Galaxy S in my pocket, i don't feel it, it is so light and flat.)

I use also a Nokia BH-900 bluetooth headset, works well with Tab. However, if I walk away from the bluetooth range, I have to reboot headset or toggle bluetooth off/on from Tab to get pairing again.

Sometimes I use Tab as hands free speakerphone, it works too. I don't say better than other phones but ok. In fact Galaxy S has more volume and better voice quality, if compared.

The best thing about Tab is big screen, it is a delight to read emails. And battery lasts a couple of days.
[Galaxy Tab General] yarlah:
I have been using the galaxy tab for the past week as a phone and it has been a great experience. Carrying a headset is a must for private calls. I use plantronics discover 975 headset and it works. Also 3g video call works great. Great work phone cause if u have paired it with a headset there is a button to switch it back to speaker phone and in a room the speaker is loud and clear for a small group to hear.

Skype on 3g does not work with bluetooth so to talk on skype privately u need the headset supplied with it. I tried using the headset that comes with iphone and there is sound but the mic does not work. The nexus one headset works well. I have also tried tango application and it does not work with the camera but there is sound for the galaxy tab.

Overall a good mobile device.
[Galaxy Tab General] daboutz:
Hi

i've been using it for almost 2 weeks as a phone with the blueant q2 headset.

i come from the hd2 too and i cant say i regret the switch...

just need to get used to how u wanna deal with it on a everday basis, but to me it's a full replacement for a "normal" phone.

just a matter of gettin used to it ;)

cheers
[Galaxy Tab General] MizGarfield:
Hi, I am using my Tab for 2 weeks now as an everyday phone and all. I used the Giorgio Armani wm device before and I am very happy with the Tab.

I used to put the WM phone in a special pocket of my purse, but that doesn't work!

As a woman I had to shop for a new handbag because I can't put the Tab in any pocket! Just waiting for a nice case to arrive and then check whether my device will fit in the bag I have my eyes on. I am using a bluetooth Iqua slim (one of my male colleagues thought it looked "nerdy", so?) and am very happy with it. You really can't use it as a phone without a headset, because the sound is very loud. I work in a room with 8 other people, so I have to keep them in mind.

All in all very good reception, even with 3G where the Giorgio Armani could not keep the phone connection active at my work.

At home I don't use the bluetooth headset, but I leave the room when my partner is sitting next to me on the couch ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
I have searched and I can't find an answer..

I have installed virtually all of the current 2.2 ROMS and I cannot get any of them to recognize my sd cards...I have odined back to stock, and flashed over and over and every time, the phone will say "no sd card inserted" IT even did the same thing when trying to mount the sd cards through clockwork recovery with the OS not even booted up...

When I flash a 2.1 ROM back to the phone, it behaves perfectly and reads both SD cards normally. Any one else have this problem or know of a fix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wirelessmodz:
i thought i had this issue last nite what i did was turn off usb debug then checked ask on connection in the usb setting and let it reboot and waited for it to reread everything then it was fine
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELStiko:
If you had read all the posts of all those threads that you got the ROMs from, you would have seen that all the Froyo Roms had this issue. This has been posted many times over the past few days.

In Eugene's Froyo thread, you may find a fix for that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
I am not talking about my computer not recognizing it, although it won't as well.. The phone itself show unavailable under both sd cards!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
I have read plenty of pages, and this is s huge issue and I haven't seen a thing on it. I can't even get to clockworkmod from 2.2 because it will not read my sd card.

If it has been posted so many times, could you please post a link to just one of them? I have been looking since Monday night! (Reading and searching)

One of the problems is xda won't allow 2 letter search terms such as sd....

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
Thanks.. I did see that, and tried it, but it doesn't work still..I made this post after flashing that ROM with the sd card supposedly fixed. I can't use anything that uses the sd card on this ROM that claims the fix or any other 2.2 rom. I would like to run obsidian...

dude i was talking about my phone not the computer and the other guys rt did you not read all kinds of issues with this happing to people . my phones fine and i flashed like 5-6 different roms to the thing and none did it to me

this only happens when you are using 2.2 right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
yes.. its only on 2.2 roms.. and every one of them I have tried.. when I flash back to 2.1 it works great.. I am guessing its some sort of kernel issue...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
I did get it rebooted into clockwork and wiped pretty much everything but the sdcard...did not do any good.. also tried moutning the sd card from clockwork with 2.2 installed...the sdcards did show up on the computer, but when clicking on them it said "Please insert a disk into this drive"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkdawg:
i have researched this for 3 days straight and have found a solution, their is no fix

1.) if you remove your sd card and reboot the phone with it not in there, your internal memory will mount just fine.

2.) so that made me think it was something wrong with my external card, so i went and bought another one, samsung branded, 8 gig class2 card, and what do you know, it mounted just fine.

3.) i did found out that when i flashed back to 2.1 it would see my old sd card, but when i upgraded to 2.2 it wont.

its like 2.2 does not like certain branded sd cards, the one that wouldnt work on 2.2 was made by A-Data
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
Interesting.. Thank you! I am rebooting without the sdcard now and sure enough the internal card is showing upQ@

Mine is an 8gb class 6 card.. not sure what brand... I am going to format the sd card and see if that helps!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflyabeech:
that was it.. I put my 2gb card in and it worked great.. the 8gb card worked great before, but apparently was not compatable with 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shad0w1989:
Hello,

is there a simple way to replace all the Samsung standard icons with the Vanilla (stock) Android icons?

I really don't like many of them (e.g the ugly messaging icon).

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] carlocb:
Hmm...maybe with launcherpro you can change icons for apps you put on your homescreen. You can't do that with app drawer.

The only way seems to install a aosp-clean rom (when we'll get cyanogen I think we'll be ok) OR to install the aosp version of the apps you're interested in...guess they won't all work, but some should. Music will definitely work (I used it in some rom, and the samsung icon is really horrible), also calendar and messages I think should work...of course that would change also the application itself, not just the icon...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] infantil:
Download ADW Launcher, and then search for "aosp adw theme" in market and install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mr.Hunk:
Folder organizer might be useful in this case.

Although haven't tried!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Calidreaming:
I do it but that way i still don't have the AOSP drawer like the second picture that you can see here

there's a setting somewhere in ADW to activate that kind of drawer?

No, that's the 3D App Drawer from Launcher Pro in that picture.

[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
So I have been reading around about the new android update Gingerbread. The details are that it should be released in the next day or two to nexus one users. So my question was how long till other phones get it? I mean it is open source therefor it should be on the internet therefor it should be a matter of just getting an update, am I correct?

I wasn't here when the 2.1 to 2.2 update happened so i'm not really sure how this whole thing happens but some of the features in Gingerbread look amazing so I would love to get it ASAP.

So anyone with any info on this matter please speak up, and thanks in advance.
[Droid 2 General] Spitemare:
For custom ROMs like Fission it could be a couple weeks to a few months. Transitioning to basically a new OS does take time.

For stock ROMs it will be even longer. Motorolla will need to update all the Blur apps and put them through extensive quality control testing before the update is pushed out.
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
I wonder whether it will be possible to get Gingerbread working with the current kernel (since the kernel can't be changed for the time being).

I know that the kernel version on Gingerbread is different than on Froyo (2.6.32 vs 33 or 34), but I'm not sure whether anything important has changed that would prevent Gingerbread from working.
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
I know the Kernal/Bootloader is locked but how does that effect Gingerbread? Will we still be able to push it ourselves (I.e. leaked build or even just the update itself) or will we have to wait for Verizon/Motorola to release an official update?

I have a T-mobile G2 with grandfathered $5.99 tzones. My internet worked for few hours the first time I put my sim card in, but now I keep getting service unavailable error message. If I switch phones and put the sim card in Nokia e71 internet works just fine. I am sure if I call T-mobile they are going to say I need one of the android plans.

I have tried all apn's: epc.tmobile.com, wap.voicestream.com, internet2/3.voicestream.com. No luck so far.

Any ideas if there is anyway I would be able to use tzones with G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkadesi:
Nope, you have to to be on a android data plan to get your data service working.

You can call up T-Mobile's retention department and ask them to put you on teh preferred android plan for $20 (as oppoes to the $25/$30 plans)

The reason you cant use the 5.99 plan is because the phone's IMEI gets picked up T-mobile's servers and finds it as a ANDROID phone, thus requiring you to get the proper data plan.
