Ya, don't buy them from Samsung? :) There are many other retailers that sell accessories for our phone, including ebay. Read this section and you'll find people reviewing different products and mentioning where to buy them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Mol99:
I'm happy with the accessoires I bought at Spider Foot, their prices are a killer:

and

I ordered it last sunday and today the package arrived. There is a topic about them here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733705

I read the complete thread because the price really made me wonder if this was serious but so far I read a lot of positive feedback.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
you dont have an engineering bootloader. either that or you are not in fastboot mode.

btw, i realize you are new, but you might want to watch out. you can get flamed by the stiffies for putting a question in the theme forum (which is for theme/app releases/requests) and for only giving your log and a line of plea.

i have no problem with it, but some people do.....

also, are you even rooted?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] osker83:
Thanks. yeah i am new.. and yes I have root. I don't think I have it on fast-boot.. I will try that! thanks!

You almost definitely need the .76 H Boot, but check because some custom splash screens come as flashable zips if you don't feel comfortable downgrading your HBoot.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] 911jason:
I tried widget locker and liked the way it looked, but you have to manually start the app every time you turn the phone on. I don't really care about all of the slide mods, but I would like to change the clock, font, etc. Is there a setting in Cyanogen that I'm missing? Any other app suggestions?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] 911jason:
Has anyone ever tried this method for changing the clock font?

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e1q7j/i_got_rid_of_that_stupid_lockscreen_clock_font/

Basically requires using Terminal to paste a new font over the existing font. I've never used Terminal and I don't have any experience in Linux. The program that someone mentions there (Type Fresh) has lots of bad comments on Appbrain about causing crashes and bootloops, so I think I'll stay away from that one.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kevina90:
are you looking to modify your system lockscreen or trying to find a replacement app (widgetlocker)?

for your widget locker problem, select start at boot and disable the 5 sec. rule.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
If you don't want to use terminal, I'm pretty sure you can use ninjamorph which might be a little easier. As for widgetlocker, I'd say just do what kevina said. I've been using for the past week or so and it's been smooth and quick for me.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Elishallen:
You could use tasker to autostart widget locker.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Ninjamorph doesn't work for this, nor did root explorer. I tried type fresh multiple times and it didn't work. After trying everything except using the terminal, I just changed the fonts in the rom's zip and reflashed it.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] 911jason:
Thanks for the tips guys.. I reinstalled Widget Locker and I'm playing around with it again. I don't like how it takes over the Home button, but other than that it seems to be working pretty well.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kaschenberg:
Newest cm6.1 rc2 nightly has gestures and added support for phone and sms sliders on the lock screen. I can quickly access facebook, camera, sms, and phone without first unlocking the phone - I love it!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] 911jason:
Which nightly are you on and does it seem pretty stable? I do have that same functionality you are talking about with Widget Locker... but if I can have it through the OS, I'll just use that.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] jbizz:
I just got Widget Locker the other day. I love it!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Freemantig:
Also make sure widgetlocker is installed on your phone and not the sd.

got the phone a few days ago and the gps has yet to find my location. it has NEVER worked.

now i just did the whole root/cwm/voodoo thing. im hoping that doesnt mess it up even more.

1) After installing v.2.0 I found that my wallpaper (picture) is now elongated. Is there a way to change portrait wallpaper from 480x800 to 800x480?

2) Is there a way to keep the clock on screen when sliding shortcuts sideways?

3) Can I change the "bottom" row of icons? I mean either to make them smaller - so I can add others, or just change to other icons?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielefeldt:
I have the HTC HD2 as well and can get it down to about 2 hours per percentage point of battery which lasts me forever in standby. However, on my new G2 with Cyanogen mod RC3,2 and 1 I can not get it lower then 39 MA and I have nothing on on the phone that would take battery like that. All sync is off, no GPS, No back up, no data, no bluetooth, no wifi.

I noticed in the battery settings that the Android System is taking nearly 70 percent of my battery and I can not get it lower no matter what settings.

I turn off auto brightness, sound is minimal, leds are off, haptic feed back is off, brightness is at 25 percent.

I can not figure this out and its a deal killer for this phone for me since I was getting 3 and sometimes 4 days with these settings on on my HD2.

Anyone can help ??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousjax:
heh... just because its taking 70% of the battery doesn't mean its draining it. on a 100% scale, something has to take that 100% up, and it SHOULD be the Android System. Get it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielefeldt:
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. It shouldnt be more than about 6 to 8 percent.

I was able to get two hours per percentage point on an operating system that ran from the sd card which takes more power then an OS on the Nand since it is continually reading to get information back and forth.

Anyhow, Something is wrong as I am getting about 6-7 minutes per percentage point on this G2. That is horrible. Not acceptable either.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielefeldt:
And that is in Standby Mode with the screen off and all the settings above.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
Drain your phone's battery until it shuts off. Then turn it on again.

Then charge the phone to 100% battery.

Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

You're all set.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:

The root process for the D2 has really evolved quite a bit since this link. There are easier ways to go about it. Essentially that method, but with much fewer steps.

The major advatage to rooting the phone is being able to remove system apps that would otherwise take up resources. and being able to apply new themes and new features.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bkbari2008:
I have looked through the forums and haven't found anything to solve my problem some come close but still not the same. I rooted and installed CM6. I updated it using ROM manager to RC3. It was really simple and it basically did it on its own. I have been trying to change it to the stable CM6 version. It says it is going to reboot into recovery, but it gets stuck on the green mytouch screen I left it there for almost 2 hours the first time and no change. I have tried RC1 and RC2 and the same thing happens. I can however get into fastboot.

[Captivate General] NinjaCoder:
Has XDA had any "movements" to get manufactures to push updates faster?

Or better yet get Google to change its policy on how updates are pushed so manufactures do not have a choice.

For example we could:

1. Pick a feature or bug (easiest would probably be a security flaw)

2. Call them over and over

Samsung Customer Support Team. 1-888-987-4357

Mon-Fri: 7 AM - 9 PM (CST), Sat: 9 AM - 6 PM (CST).

3. Send them emails

4. Send them Snail mail?

Seems like Slashdot just reported "Security Expert Warns of Android Browser Flaw" about some security flaw with the default browser on android. I think it is going to be in Android 2.3 or a subsequent update.

Why the hell would they want to push updates any faster if they can get the lion's share to buy new phones?
[Captivate General] NinjaCoder:
How does Apple and Microsoft and Palm get away with over the air updates published by OS manufactures?

Why can't Google do the same thing?

Seems like Samsung with their Kies program could provide updates without AT&T's approval much like iTunes does iPhone updates.
[Captivate General] veive:
Apple got that right when they negotiated the contracts, which Samsung didn't do.

Almost all interactions between large companies like this are controlled by contracts between said companies... do you really think Samsung would pay a few million just to push out an un-approved update to keep us happy? I don't.

[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Frustrated customer: Dear Google/Samsung, please release updates faster, kthanx.

[Captivate General] Kaik541:
Apple and Palm are able to do this because they make the hardware that their operating systems run on (guess why you've never seen a non-Apple device running iOS or a non-Palm/HP device running WebOS commercially). Apple's OS is closed source so they're the only one with access to programming the phone, though they have to pass the carrier's testing process.

Microsoft do this because their operating system is closed source, they provide the updates to the phones directly because they aren't sharing the code and have very strict licensing agreements with the hardware developers. In fact, I believe WinMo 6.x actually did receive updates from the hardware developers and NOT Microsoft, but I believe that's changed with WinPho7 (not 100% sure about that).

Your comment about Google is also hilarious because there is only one Google branded phone (maybe three if you count the android developer phones like the ADP1 and HTC Ion), the Nexus One... and guess what, Google provides updates DIRECTLY for that device as long as it isn't a carrier-branded phone. But even if you do have a Nexus One from, oh I don't know, Vodafone or someone, you still get your update from Google, you just have to meet Vodafone's specific licensing and testing agreements.

Quite simply, Google has no control over who uses Android OS and for what purpose because it's open-source content. They only have the tiniest bit of influence by saying what devices can and can't have the Android Market, and their restrictions on that are vague at best. Google no more owns Android than Linus Torvalds owns the Linux kernel.

I have it on good authority that the Froyo dev and Captivate support teams have been enlisted to man the front lines at the DMZ. The theory is that the dev team will slow the hostilities down to a crawl and the support team will baffle the NKs with bull****.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
You really need to research topics more.....

Apple and MS don't push updated OTA - (I have not idea what you are even implying). Apples updates are downloaded and installed through iTunes. Also, the multimegabyte Windows Phone udpates I received on my Moto phones were also done via my PC - never OTA.

Also, Any phone you buy that is carrier branded, must have updates approved by the carrier. AT&T will not allow an update to go out until they have approved - it doesn't matter if it is OTA or Kies install.

As mentioned above Google has nothing to do with it. They developed android, but then the phone manufacturer customizes it. Google couldn't provide an update even if they wanted to - they don't have the drivers and all the custom files.

So to recap - Samsung creates the software, but they only do it if the carrier will sign off on it. We don't know if Samsung is still developing and AT&T is waiting for a final build or if AT&T has the final and is still doing their testing.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Also remember, Palm has to have its updates for carrier branded devices pass certification before they can be pushed OTA to carrier branded WebOS devices.. This is why the AT&T devices received the latest version of WebOS last...certification.
[Captivate General] NinjaCoder:
Busted. :(

I really thought Microsoft was doing OTA updates for Windows Phone 7. The articles from April all say they were going to but since then there are a bunch that say zune software only - including Microsoft's site.

When I had my iPhone it seemed that Apple was able to create fixes and push them to people quick. Remember the "Antennagate" episode. It seemed like AT&T wasn't forcing them to do any crazy month+ period of testing.

Samsung has a Windows Phone 7 "Focus" with AT&T.

I assume the testing for Hardware Drivers and AT&T Network support should take the same amount of time for Windows Phone and Android.

AT&T has default Apps.

Samsung has default Apps including Touch Wiz Launcher.

Can I assume these are just as easy to validate they are working as the Apps that come on the samsung focus as well?

If so then android updates on samsung should be just as quick as windows phone updates right?

Has there been any windows phone updates yet to compare?

Unfortunately the current version of wifi tether from the market failed also.

I downloaded this version of wifi tether, which supports Infrastructure Mode (the XOOM won't do Ad-Hoc yet, so I need this). Hope this helps someone...it works great for me with the new Xoom and Nebula ROM on DK17.
