I'm currently using cog 2.3b2. I'd like to have hsupa but only i9000 kernal and modem from setiron supports it. How do I flash a setiron's kernal and use cognitions rom? I'm familiar with using cwm and odin. Would I flash the kernal first then the rom on top of it all using cwm?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfuq20:
All I did was flash the new version of cog then I used Odin to flash the kernel and it s works fine for me depending on your cappy you night have to flash to stock then the jg8 etc.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mail_e60:
Friends,

Since the Galaxy Tab source code has been released, can anyone speculate on the type of features we could expect to see on the Tab once a custom ROM (perhaps CyanogenMod) is developed? Would we expect to have a solid base of Linux tools available via a custom ROM?

This is my first Android device, I'm coming from the Nokia Maemo platform where you get a mostly intact full Debian Linux system out of the box (full GNU/Linux command line utilities on top of BusyBox, X11, etc).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It would be great to use the Galaxy Tab as a "complete Linux workstation" at the command-line (the Android GUI is great, but the command-line seems to be greatly lacking).

Thanks

in a week I'm gonna be going to a concert. I need to get my phone waterproof prior to the concert. I'm gonna go cheap easy and efficient. my initial idea was use 2 condoms just to prevent liquid from getting in on the phone. then I started to think I'll need the camera to take pictures and video but theres condoms covering the camera and taking away from the clarity. Its there any easy easy way to achieve this.

Yes, most do. But, you can get "dry" condoms. Problem with those is that they really aren't clear.

I used to mess with one at my old job, if you find a place that shrink wraps, they might even be nice and just do it for you, I imagine you can still use the touch screen without difficulty too. What on EARTH is intended to happen at this concert? I've been to a few with my vibrant and it was never at any risk of being submerged in water?? Ha

If you want to get the most enjoyment out of the concert, its probably best to spend it not worrying about the survival of your phone. Just leave it in the car.

If you really feel the need to capture the moment, use a real camera.

I think this sums up the sentiment quite nicely.
[Vibrant General] dbacchus:
Ahem... about the camera... maybe he actually needs a freaking *cell phone* while at the concert? You know, your girl is lost, trying to find you, etc situation? :-)
[Vibrant General] kiapolo:
When i hike i usually just ziploc my phone. The last hike i did, I need the water proofing. It was raining crazy (hiking Haiku stairs in Hawaii). Ziploc worked perfectly. Touch screen works. with a little effort the camera works good, too.

Seeing as not many people posted actual suggestions ... this is what I have: http://www.rei.com/product/752257

I've used it for hiking, canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, etc ... I tested it when I first got it by submerging it (had to weigh it down, it floats even with a phone in it) for 12+ hours and the contents stayed dry. No, you can't take pictures while it's in the case, but you can use the touchscreen, it won't tear like a condom will (yes folks, condoms WILL tear) and at $15 dollars: it's pretty cheap. Also big enough to hold phone + passport or other ID/papers.

Also, GWAR concerts are awesome. I saw them most recently (several years ago now) in a tiny little bar in Albuquerque and even the bartenders were covered in stage blood after the first song.

I can personally recommend the Dry Case DC13 (about $40 on Amazon). I used it all weekend and was quite pleased with the photos and video, both above and underwater.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtast:
Hey guys, how are you doing?

This is my first post in this forum, although I've been reading lots of threads within this section, but I'm a bit lost. I recently got my brand new Samsung Galaxy S i9000B from Personal Argentina. This version is the one with DMB TV.

I had a Motorola Milestone before this one, so I am gladly not new to all the Android thing, but I have a few questions regarding what I can and cannot do with the threads and tutorials that are for the international versions of this phone.

1) First of all, I wanted to know if there is something as the Open Recovery available in the Milestone, from which I could make a nandroid backup that saved everyhing from my phone, making it possible to mess with it and restore the backup aftewards as if nothing had happened (I currently use Titanium Backup but it's not as easy and nice as the nandroid). I read about some "Clockworkmod" Recovery, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for (besides, I had read a post that said that it's backup isn't that safe and doesn't backup everything, is that true?), and another question that is linked with the next one.

2) What are the things that I can use from the threads of the international version of the Galaxy S and what are the ones that will brick/freeze/destroy/detonate (hahaha :D) my phone? Because I see lots of tutorials but I am afraid that I may use the wrong things, making my phone unusable (if I had the nandroid and knew that I just had to enter the recovery mode and restore, I would try them by myself without worries, but I'm not so sure yet).

3) I already rooted and unbranded my phone. I wanted to know if there is a way, without loading another rom (apart that there's none for this version), to erase the "boot animation and goodbye animation" from my carrier. I write this between inverted commas because it's not properly the boot animation, which I think is the big "S" with lights converging in the center.

4) Is there a way to enable the usb connection with Launcher Pro enabled? Because my pc (win7 x32) doesn't recognize the phone unless I have the Touchwiz Launcher onscreen.

5) Is there a software like RSD Lite to load the firmwares I download from the internet? I read about some soft called Odin, not sure if it's for that purpose. Also, is there a website with the stock firmwares from all over the world? So I can have my stock firmware in case I needed it for service or anything.

I know that I had more questions by the time I though about this thread, but I can't really remember :D. Let me say that I feel this like a big improvement over the Milestone, and I'm really happy with it. I hope you can answer my doubts and thank you in advance for that.

BTW, sorry for the long thread

Cheers!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtast:
With a bit more reaserch plus trial&error I managed to answer myself some of this questions, at least partially. I leave the answers here for anyone else that founds himself in the same mess I did. Any corrections or extensions of my answers will be appreciated.

Yes. With Clockworkmod Recovery you can make a nandroid backup, among other stuff. You have to download ROM Manager from the market and install the clockwork recovery from there.

So far I found out (by reading) that you can't use any firmware from other regions because of the differences on hardware, and also found out (by testing it) that you can't apply the voodoo lagfix, because it's for this regions mentioned before, and it modifies the kernel, remapping your keys (hard and touch ones) and makes your screen react faulty.

Didn't find the exact answer for this one, but managed to change the animations when I reflashed the phone with an unbranded firmware.

Didn't find the answer for this one either. I can't leave Launcherpro as default because it won't connect. Each time I wan't to connect I press the home button and bring the Touchwiz launcher onscreen.

That's right. As I said before, Odin is the software that does the same job as RSD Lite on Motorola.

[Hero CDMA General] gorbisloth:
They updated Angry Birds to officially support the Hero. It's listed in the market now so grab it up. Fixes the graphical glitches. I'm not sure how much of performance improvement it is but at least they fixed this much.
[Hero CDMA General] ranger61878:
It's still 1.4.2 in the Market. This version actually came out more than a week ago, and does not play well on the Hero.

As seen on the front page of XDA 2 days ago, theimpaler747 has optimized it to play better on lower end devices, though still not great.

[Windows Phone 7 General] waqas180:
Can you tell me how you made groups for group text on Win 7? I cant seem to figure that out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
After you send a text to multiple people, it stays in your conversation list as "X recipients" where X is the number of people you sent it to. You can just select that and then type a new message and it will send it to all of the same people.
[Windows Phone 7 General] waqas180:

It was just so easy in HD-2, that it was a no brainer. WM-7 just makes it a lil complicated. Looks like i have to save the group conversation just so that i can reply/send text to same people in future:rolleyes:...hmm
[Windows Phone 7 General] wspaw:
Gorup text app

There's an app in the store under "Productivity." It lets you make groups, but, not from your contacts - you have to enter a phone number for each member and can't associate names with them.

Personally, I'm waiting for an app that allows you to create groups of existing contacts...
