[Streak 5 General] cyanide1973:
Really you don't think him calling everyone who is thinking about buying one dumb is more of an insult then me saying he must not be very good at math lol.He is basically saying the guy who started this post and me and millions of others are dumb.

Anyway I won't post about this again I just thought I'd explain why I came of a little snotty. Sorry

I think if you have a phone your happy with but would like a little more screen on occasion then the tab is the way to go. The streak is easier to carry around but i can't see taking it to a night club where you have to check your coat I already have enough stuff I carry in my pockets.

The other option is if there both on the same carrier then just switch the sim to the phone that you want to use. I know thats what i was thinking about doing but I think I might just buy the tab instead because my galaxy s already has a 4" screen so jumping up to a 5" screen doesn't seem like a big jump for the money.

What are the prices in the US anyway and yes Canada is always a rip off but you get used to it and actually think your getting a good deal.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
My Streak is data only, no voice calls which suits me fine and I'm paranoid about breaking it so I'd never take it into a situation like a nightclub. I have a 'normal' unlocked phone for making phone calls.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Only if you've got your head up your butt :D
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Rubbish! I now get nearly 2 days with major use

I agree the streak is a mobile option the galaxy won't fit most pockets however I will get a tablet once I can afford one. Fit for purpose. I certainly think I will struggle with a smaller screen

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreh4christ:
What should I do before and after rooting my phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghorn:
Before: make a backup of all your apps & data using Titanium Backup (find on the Market) just in case you end up needing to restore (unlikely if you follow all the rooting steps exactly).

After: download ROM Manager from the Market, install Clockwork recovery, boot into recovery via ROM Manager, and perform a backup in case you later install custom ROMs or mess with other root activities and need to restore to just after rooting. There are options as to use ROM Manager or other, do this I'd simply what I did.

Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreh4christ:
Thanks for the info.will I lose any of my stock apps ext.after rooting?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreh4christ:
I downloaded Titanium backup and opened the file to backup apps but it said that I have to have root access first.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonlawrence:
Yes, the first advice to install titanium BEFORE you root was incorrect. You can't use titanium before you root. What should you do before you root? there is nothing you can do to insure that you won't screw anything up. There's no way to make backups of anything important before rooting. The only real changes you can make to your phone are AFTER you root. However, I kinda like the fact that we can use Visionary to temp root and accomplish some things like run "shoot Me" without making any permanent changes to our phones.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
Titanium works fine with temp root from Visionary+. Temp root, make your backups, reboot and temp root is cleared like it never happened.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreh4christ:
O.k. Where can I find the visionary temp root app.it's not in the market.i first want to try temp out first.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbag22:
Looking for visionary too. I feel dumb because i cant seem to find it even after searching the forums. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghorn:
Sorry, I failed to mention to get Visionary FIRST and temp root, then use Titanium for the backup, then you can perm root if you wish.

Visionary was pulled from the Market, I believe while the fix some issue on the most current release. Google it and you can find the apk. Look for r12 since it's the one you'll need for perm rooting.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreh4christ:
Check out development,i put a link to visionary +apk that I found yesterday. Hope it help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreh4christ:
So I downloaded visionary + r13apk and it did not work properly. Then I got some advise from this gator dude and found a link to r11apk which I tried and it is flowing great. I have temp root now.

Hey guys,

I was following this instruction here:

http://nexusonehacks.net/android-hacks/droid-hack-how-to-install-thai-font-on-droid/

hoping to install Thai fonts to my X10i, but having trouble installing Busybox. I was told to put the busybox file into the root folder of my SDcard...is that /sdcard/...?

I did the following commands on Terminal Emulator:

Type each line and press the enter key.

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# mkdir /data/busybox

# cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/busybox/busybox

# chmod 755 /data/busybox/busybox

# mkdir /data/local

# cd /data/busybox

# ./busybox –-install

# cp /sdcard/fonts/* /system/fonts

And when I got to the busybox install, it says something like directory not found.....So I'm wondering whether I put the Busybox file in the right location in the first place...

Can somebody help me out? Greatly appreciate it!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imgladuhateme555:
Search the marketplace for the busybox installer, it does it automatically.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacyfu:
Oh really? I did download Titanium Backup and use it to install Busybox. Is it the same thing?

Once I get it installed, can I just use "cp" in Terminal Emulator? How do I use it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imgladuhateme555:
Yeah, if you can use Titanium Backup, then you have busybox installed.

I'm not sure about that, maybe someone else can jump in and assist.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Yes, once you've installed Titanium Backup, and used it to install busybox, you are ready to go. I didn't have to separately install busybox when I loaded Thai fonts into my phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.boushi1987:
if you installed titanum backup just press menu >problems >download busybox and it will be installed for you
[Galaxy Tab General] gseth:
Whenever i am applying a wallpaper from the wallpaper gallery (pre loaded ones) it is digital clear.

However any wallpaper i apply from the gallery seems to be slightly zoomed in.

I have tried this resolution: 1200x1024. It gives me the crop option, i select the entire image and apply it as a wall.

Can anyone help as to what is the issue, I cannot make head or tails of it, since its my first android device.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
You're on the right track, it needs to be roughly twice the size of the horizontal resolution (viewed from portrait), same with all Android wallpapers

So in the case of the Tab, 1200x1024 images should work best. If your vertical resolution is larger than 1024, it may be changing the aspect ratio of the image a bit, which would make it appear zoomed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] commander2k:
So, Ive looked around the internet, and this forum, and cant seem to find an easy way to stream video from my home computer to my phone. I can use gmote when Im at home, and thats neat and all, but it would be nice to not have to download everything to my phone. I know Iphone has a few apps for that, are there any decent ones for android?

Thanks in advance for the help!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PuffinNugz:
Are you talking about a different app you could you at home over wifi? Or remotely over 3G? I use Allshare at home and it works well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] commander2k:
Oh sorry, I mean when Im out and about over 3g or wifi from another source. Ive used allshare and Gmote and they both work wonderfully when Im home. But as for when Im out and about, I havent heard of anything reliable.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PhrProfess:
Why not give Winamp Remote a try? I used to use that on my old iPhone 3G. You run a server-app on your PC, select which directories to share (video/audio), and access these directories from your phone via a login that you setup. On the iP3G, access was established through a normal browser.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] commander2k:
Interesting. I tried something like that today, by using a different server type program and a certain video player, but it gave me a lot of errors and the videos had a lot of trouble playing (well, sound but no video, at the most). Not just HD movies either, movies that play just fine from my SD card wouldnt play (just to test it out). I wonder if this program would have those same problems? It sounds almost identical is why I say
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PhrProfess:
Well, audio worked for me without a hitch. The UI was alright, and synchronicity was superb. Video worked well for me too, but I must admit that I didn't use this feature so much because iPhones were/are really finicky with resolutions and file-types. I was forced to pre-convert every video I intended to stream beforehand to an appropriate format and reso', and store two copies of everything on my HDisk: the original high-quality copy for desktop-viewing, and another for iPhone streaming... but that's just Crapple, right? Android is much more flexible when it comes to video-containers (among other things), so I see no potential problems for you—especially if you're using videos that play back fine on stock if stored locally (on your phone). Why don't you give Winamp Remote a shot, and report your findings...? It shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to setup.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] commander2k:
That actually makes perfect sense, well, I think Im going to call it a night tonight. but by thursday or friday I will get on that and report my findings!! thank you very much for the help and I will get back to you as soon as I get the chance. Oh college life lol.

"Vlc stream & convert “from the market (freeware is doing the job - but the $4 are worth it for the Pro version)

Quality wise is the best.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmusso:
Hi, so this is a partial port of a thread I started over on the General forum.

I may have possibly water damaged my Captivate a few days ago. It wasn't submerged or anything, but was in my pocket when I got water on my lap, and didn't come out immediately.

I disassembled the phone and let it dry for a few days, and after putting the battery back in and starting it things seemed to be working fine. However, the battery was almost dead to begin, and when I plugged the charger into the USB port, I got an error about battery temp being too high and charging pausing as a result.

When I plug the phone in while it is off to the wall charger, I get a screen that flashes from the usual charging picture (the battery with a little bit of green in it) to a picture of a batter next to a caution sign and a high temperature thermometer.

What should I do? I see no signs of corrosion on the battery itself or the pins that connect with it. So long as the phone was not plugged in, I got no errors and it worked fine (on the 2% battery life that is now extinguished). This leads me to believe the problem is in the micro USB port on the top of the phone, but I can't be sure. I cannot see in it very well and don't want to disassemble it unless I have to.

Should I just buy a new battery? Will I never be able to charge my phone through the USB jack? Does this mean I should get an independent charger for the battery, and just juice it up that way from now on (a big hassle)? Any and all advice or experience appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmusso:
Has nobody had any experience with this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kegobeer:
If a phone gets wet when power is applied (ie: sleep mode), usually it doesn't matter if you let it dry. The damage is already done. Moisture in the usb connector can do all kinds of weird things to a phone.

Have you tried cleaning the gold battery contacts on the phone and the battery? You can use rubbing alcohol on the phone contacts, followed by a white eraser.

I'd go ahead and buy a new battery. If it doesn't work, you'll have a spare when you buy a new phone. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmusso:
I haven't tried using isopropyl yet. There doesn't seem to be any corrosion on the contacts whatsoever, so I didn't think it necessary. I'll give it a go.

It may be worth nothing that neither of the water indicators have turned color. Of course, the USB jack is a long way from where those water indicators are... It is completely plausible water got in there and never got down to the battery or contacts. Like I said, the only problems I've encountered are when the phone is plugged in to the charger...

Thanks for the advice though. I'll try it. If not, maybe its time to consider dismantling this thing and attempting a wipe down of the USB jack... :(

I just got my DHD yesterday and I'm having a problem getting a GSM data connection. Where I live only Edge is available and when I turn on the mobile networks it won't make a data connection. Before I got this phone I had a HD2 that I was running Android on and I noticed only about half of the builds would have a working Edge data connection, if I knew what the difference was maybe I would know better what to do here. Any suggestions?

I found the answer, all I needed to do was make a new APN and point it to my carrier's URL. In Thailand for AIS it was www.ais.co.th if anyone else is having a similar problem.

maybe the settings not right form your provider. was running hd2 before as well but on wm. i just put the sim in my dhd and it asked me to configure everything automaticly. clicked yes and everything works, even mms works without any manual config. was pretty hard on my hd2 to get it to work.
[Epic 4G General] zulubushi:
I did a search prior to posting this thread. Questions are as follows:

I'm on an unrooted Epic 4G, running the latest update, DI8.

4G Hotspot: When I'm using my pone as a wireless hotspot in a 4G service area, and get a phone call, my Epic drops the 4G connection, interrupts the internet connection to take the call so I'm not able to do 4G and phone calls simultaneously. The same thing actually happens when I'm not using the phone as a hotspot. I'm connected to 4G, a call comes in, 4G is disconnected.

I'm in Cali and though 4g isn't official, the city's been lit up for the last three months or so.

Calendar: I've read bits and pieces here and there, but can the builti-in calendar take meeting requests sent via outlook or ical (not on exchange, just a regular appointment invite from either client).

Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

Ive got a SGS from Optus in Australia but its unbranded. Currently I'm running JG4 rom.

I want to update to the JPO. Ive got the ROM. Ive got Odin and Ive got 3 pits.

Everything is fine, I just don't know which PIT to use. 512, 513 or 803. Could I just flash the rom over without a PIT? Should I repartition? This is the first time Ill be doing a flash.

Any help would be appreciated!

Advice from the experts

Hi,

The quickest and simplest is to go on the samfirmware.com site and register and log in. Everthing you'll need will be found there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zroice:
you will first want to flash with the 512 and repartition on.. i dont exactly remember which rom i think jm6 (samsfirmwares has the info on that)

and afterwards u flash the jpo with 813 pit and no repartition.

But yea just read the *info on the roms over there it explains the process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madfix:
Putting Pit file 813 without repartition checked is nonsense...

If this box unchecked, then ODIN will ignore Pit file.

At the end, I've never been able to flash whatever firmware with 813 pit file. All went very well with 512 one...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Just a quick question guys: what does re-partition really do and when should it be used ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
It make the partition in different size. But so far i only use pit 512 for all firmware.

It works best.

You should only use them when you want to wipe you phone clean and need to re-partition the phone.

And yes you must tick the re-partition box to make it work. Else it don't use the pit file.

So samfirmware show wrong.
