[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
At the moment, when you select a wallpaper from the gallery, quite often that the image resulting in your wallpaper isn't as sharp as you would like it to be. This is especially if you "crop" a portion of the image to be your wallpaper, regardless of how high the resolution of the original image is.

Now when I choose to change my wallpaper, I get several options. I initially had:

* Gallery

* Live Wallpapers

* Wallpaper Gallery (TwWallpaperChooser)

After installing ADW Launcher, LauncherPro, and the Colors app, I now have the additional options:

* Colors

* Wallpaper Gallery (LauncherPro)

* Wallpaper Gallery (ADW Launcher)

* Ubuntu Wallpapers

The Ubuntu wallpapers option was installed when I added the Ubuntu theme for ADW Launcher.

Now my query is this: How easy is it to "make" these apps, which are essentially groups of images packed together?

The reason being that images chosen using this method, are considerably sharper than choosing a wallpaper and cropping it from the gallery. It would also be easier to distribute if need be since it will be a single APK for the images.

At the moment, the only thing I can think of in regards to making this happen is to learn how to write apps for Android and do it that way. I unfortunately do not have the time to do this. I hope there's another way to do it, or maybe even an app that you just have to select images form a folder and it "packs" it up for you to be installed as an APK.

At the very least I hope this is an idea that becomes a utility that a lot of people might find useful.

Thanks for reading!

Hi!

I'm planning to visit the US and want to pick myself a DVP Unlocked for $499(16GB).

I spoke to a Dell rep who basically told me that when you buy a contract free DVP , it will still be locked to T-mobile.

I'm wondering if T-mobile will provide an unlock for it as I plan to use it in Sweden.

If they don't, has anyone tried the alternative unlock websites that exist on the internet? Are they a scam?
[Venue Pro General] fathamburger:
They are probably a scam or just a template for now. Someone will probably call T-Mobile for it when they get it, then post the code for us here
[Venue Pro General] Kotlicki:
I'm in the same boat as you are and BTW already ordered the phone as I'm pretty sure I'll be able to unlock it.

Not sure if the websites are all scam, there are also posts here of people who actually used them in the past. But let's say that if we can get the unlock code for free from T-mobile it will be best.

From my understanding the unlock code is unique per handset based on the IMEI number, so don't expect anyone posting an unlock code. However, look on the T-mobile web site for their SIM FREE Policy.

When you buy the phone for full price, it makes you actually a "former customer" for T-Mobile as you do not have any contract with them anymore so they should have no problem giving you the unlock code. I also think that legally they need to do it.
[Venue Pro General] pangelovski:
Please PM me once you get it, and tell me how it went.

Anyone else knows the shipping times for within the US? I have until Jan 11.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
is the $499 version unlocked?
[Venue Pro General] eyan15:
The 2 units I used, both were unlocked.

these were the 8 gig 449 ones
[Venue Pro General] f4te:
Canadian here: I spoke to T-Mobile yesterday. They are currently unable to unlock the phone, even if purchased outright. They suggested contacting Dell.

Called Dell america (dell canada is clueless) and they will not be giving unlock codes for a while at least.

expected release in canada is hopefully before the end of the 'holliday season' according to one of the reps.
[Venue Pro General] michael871410:
I work for T-Mobile USA. They WILL NOT UNLOCK the device unless you have service for longer than 90 days. It is manadtory to have T-Mobile service before asking for an unlock , also you need to have the phone you want unlocked on T-Mobile service for that 90 days
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
They were the ones sold in stores. The ones sold by Dell are locked.
[Venue Pro General] ft55555:
Since you work for T-Mobile, are you aware of the issues with activating this phone through the Dell site? Is T-Mobile acknowledging that the problem is on its end, or is it a problem on Dell's side?
[Venue Pro General] sureloch:
What does it matter if you have the unlock code or not? The phone only has T-mobile radio bands for UMTS.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
I think it has 2100 (for Europe/Asia) also.
[Venue Pro General] sureloch:
I don't believe that will work as the 2100 radio is set up for AWS.

American AWS UMTS phone radios are set up to transmit signal in "2100" (2110-2155)Mhz range and receive signal in the "1700" (1710-1755)MHz range.

While EU UMTS "2100" phone radios are set up to receive signal in "2100"(2110-2170)Mhz, and transmit signal in "1900" (1920-1980)MHz range.
[Venue Pro General] sureloch:
Actually since the Venue Pro has UMTS 900 support that should indicate the unit has been configured for at least some Asia and European UMTS support. UMTS 900 is not a American UMTS band.
[Venue Pro General] poi2005:
But according to Lionel's blog post stated that the phone spec

Bands/Mode: UMTS 900/1700/2100/AWS

Would it means that is a dual band UMTS support for AWS and Band I 2100Mhz?

My guessing only...
[Venue Pro General] pangelovski:
Will wait til Jan 11th and buy it from either Clove or Expansys.

Although I could have saved a couple of dollars on buying it in the us :(
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
A couple of dollars? The 8GB DVP is $450 in the US and £440 in The UK, that's a massive difference. Someone will figure out how to unlock it I'm sure.
[Venue Pro General] SingaporeAirlines:
Wow - that's a massive difference :mad:. Hope Orange UK stock it for my upgrade then ! :D
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
You have got it backwards. Both AWS and EU 2100 UMTS use 2100 MHz for download; they just use different frequencies for upload. See the table here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands

The more recent posts are correct. The facts are these:

1. When a phone's specs list "UMTS xxxx" (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100, etc.) it generally isn't a listing of the exact frequecies, but rather the 3G "bands" that are supported. Thus a European phone that lists "UMTS 900/2100" actually supports 3G downloads in the 1920-1980 MHz range, since that is part of Band I or "UMTS 2100".

2. The WHOLE POINT of AWS in North America is to make it super-easy for manufacturers to support the European and Asian UMTS 2100, by using largely overlapping download frequencies. PhoneScoop has a good article on this: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=99&p=1493. For this reason, you will rarely or never see an AWS phone that doesn't also support 3G in Europe.

3. Even if surelock and others were correct in their mistaken info that AWS transmits on 2100, that wouldn't make it impossible to support both. Many "3G world phones" for AT&T and Rogers support UMTS 850/1900/2100. 1900 is the PCS band, and it receives on 1930-1990, while Band I (or 2100) transmits on 1920-1980, which overlaps. These phones have radios that can switch between transmitting and receiving on overlapping frequencies. You'll just rarely see these two types of networks operating on the same continent.

In closing:

The Dell Venue Pro supports one North American 3G band (UMTS 1700 or "AWS") and two European/Asian 3G bands (UMTS 900 and UMTS 2100).
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
Thank you for clarifying. As far as I know all the releases WP7 can be unlocked one way or another so it will only be a matter of time until we can unlock the DVP. A Dell Venue Pro 16GB bought in the US would be over £50 cheaper to get than a 8GB one bought in the UK. If you have means of importing one that's a no brainer.
[Desire HD Accessories] MarkieSA:
Hi all,

I received my Desire HD this week and noticed that the charger is modular, it currently has the UK plug on the end, does anyone know where I can buy a European adaptor to go on the end, I've tried googling it but I keep finding 3rd party HTC travel packs that cost up to £30 which I'm not interested in.

I must say that what you get in the HTC Desire HD box is not much, not even a screen protector.
[Desire HD Accessories] panyan:
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_..._nkw=eu+htc+charger&_sacat=See-All-Categories

have a look :)
[Desire HD Accessories] RobTheRover:
Spot on, mate. Major disappointment. Even the packaging itself is cheap looking. My misses's crappy Nokia came in a better box.

Compare that to the sumptuous packaging the Touch HD came in, with its magnetic clasp and foam "bed', and you don't feel as though you've just bought a high-end device. More evidence of HTC corner cutting?
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
I think HTC are going GREEN saving Global warming by giving the Smartphone in a cheap card box :p
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
More like going SCROOGE ;). I also came from Touch HD and that was the best packaging with all the neccessary accessories (and good quality too) I ever saw on a phone. Sadly, it seems that this will be the best I would ever see.
[EVO 4G General] daystrom:
Has anyone experienced problems using Google Voice Actions (long press the search key) on their Evo over the past 12 hours?

Mine all of a sudden will not pull contact info from Google anymore. My contacts are 100% synced with my Google GMail contacts as I know this is a prerequisite but if I say "Send Text to, Chuck, hey there" instead of putting Chucks name and phone number in the TO box the text is in the body of the message:

Message: Chuck hey there.

Another user over at Google mobile forums has reported the same issue starting last night.

Just wondering how wide spread this is?

Thanks!

Todd
[EVO 4G General] billyapd21:
Mine is doing the same exact thing. Mine was working fine and now it's not working. I've posted this same question last night and a few people said it was still working for them. I checked my co-workers evo and his still works. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've tried everything! I flashed a few different roms and even went back to sprint stock and nothing is working. I even created a new gmail account and added a few contacts thinking there was something wrong with my original account and that didn't fix the problem either. Sorry to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one. It means that it's not my phone and something on google's end. I wonder how many other people this is affecting. Let me know if you find a solution.
[EVO 4G General] TommyNY:
Do both of you have your contacts in phone or synced from Google or an Exchange account?
[EVO 4G General] daystrom:
No contacts on the phone. All are synced with Google. Syncing works fine. Changes happen on both sides. I also sync with an Exchange server for work contacts.

The contacts I use with Voice Actions are only Google (personal) contacts.
[EVO 4G General] billyapd21:
Me too. All my contacts are synched with Google. I mean i had it working the other day, but for some reason it just stopped recognizing everyone on my phone book. The weird part is that if I change the voice language to English (UK) instead of (US) I can voice dial but can't "send text to" or "send email to". I posted this in the Google forum and an employee said he was looking into it so I don't know if its a known problem or not. It doesn't seem to be affecting a lot of users of I'd see more traffic to this thread and more complaints. Right now I'm trying out Vlingo. I kind of like it better than Google voice actions.
[EVO 4G General] daystrom:
All working again for me. Google says it was a server issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] sedde:
How is this possible on the tab ? I am trying to find out myself for quite some time now and i cant seem to find it.

[Galaxy Tab General] gseth:
Go to file manager open any mp3 file via the default music player, click the menu key, it gives two options share and set as, when you go to set as it gives option to set as video call, voice call, specific user, etc etc.
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
On mine that doesn't work, as the contact list showing after chosing "set as" is totally empty, thus search don't give any results (despite my samsung app contact list have 200+ entries sync with google contacts).

Is there a way to access the default contact list to ad phone numbers to show there? I wonder why the default contact list and the samsung app one aren't linked...
[Galaxy Tab General] haythams:
Just open it fromhe the music player it self dont run the music just from the music library long press then set as or download ring extender from the market
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
Nope. There is a bug on the tab about this. All my contacts were synchronized/imported from google contacts and facebook. They appear on the contact list. But none of them show on the last selection operation trying to assign a ringtone/mp3 to, search function does not help, empty list.

I added a test contact manually on the phone. This one shows up.

Contacts are not imported each time i boot the GT, but they are not stored on the phone list.

Am i missing something? Any way copying all contacts to phone?

I may try the app you mentioned to see if it works.
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
App didnt work.

Found that on the contact list you can modify a contact entered manually and set a ringtone direcly there.

But on sync contacts (all of mine...) when i tap "modify" i get a "impossible to modify

SNS contacts on this phone"

annoying as i use a bt headset and different ringtones would have helped me to guess whos calling before picking up without taking the phone out.
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
Can't even add ppl to groups...
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
Course, the preferred way this /should/ work is you set the mp3 YOU want as your theme tune, then when you call people, they hear your theme tune playing.

One of the voip apps should enable this! (with an option to turn it off of course when it's abused!).
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
solved

OK, just to let you know that after several attempts I finally found two solutions on my own.

First one consists in a light app, meant to "cut" quite precisely mp3 wavefiles located on your device to produce rigngtones: its name is "Ringdroid" from Ringdroifd team. The second one is the well known "Zedge", a pick & share ringtones app. Both allow setting a ringtone to every contact, even if it's a synchronized one thus not showing in the default phone adress book when trying to assign through basic music apps.

I tried and it worked.

These two apps are the only ones I fond working in purpose at the moment.

Shame this wasn't on stock feature.

Enjoy your tab
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljpanetta:
I don't understand how come in the 3-5 custom ROMs that I've tried so far, only CyanogenMod 6.1 RC2 has an accurate Google Map application. It is accurate to within 20 meters and shows me moving on Google Maps as I travel around town. Yet the other custom ROMs I've tried, they are only accurate to 900 thru 2200 meters? Almost makes Google Maps & Navigation useless.

I like the look and feel of the other ROMs, but I need Google Maps to be accurate as I use it a lot to travel around town. Is it a Radio update maybe? If so, where do I get the latest version? Initially, I thought it could be my phone, but the fact it works perfectly with CyanogenMod tosses that idea out the window.

The other custom ROMs that I've tried are:

- JagerRom Final (downloaded thru ROM Manager)

- Virtuous 3.1.0 (downloaded thru ROM Manager)

- MIUI 0.11.26.1 (downloaded thru ROM Manager)

- Uncommon Sense v1.1 (downloaded thru ROM Manager)

- Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1.3

- Business Official (based on the Official Android 2.2+ v3.26.605.1 HTC Sense ROM for the Incredible and will only work on it. It also includes the new leaked kernel 2.36.32.17)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
Although I only had the phone for a day now, I've been reading the forum for a month trying to get the info I needed so that when it arrived, I'd be able to load up froyo, wifi calling and be done quickly. I set it all up and downloaded ryan's OCLF, ran it, rooted, installed the ext files, then the v2 lag fix it said to. Everything was great.

Later I downloaded a few apps and titanium backup, but didn't back up yet. I ran the battery down low. Went into the clockwork app that I downloaded and did a backup restore.

About an hour later the battery finally died. I read that you should turn it on until it won't anymore before finally plugging in to charge and wiping the battery settings. Problem is it wouldn't boot up again. Hung on the Galaxy S screen with the shining S.

I could still reboot into recovery and into download. Was going to ODIN back, but my PC was giving me trouble. I pulled the micro sim and thre the ASOP 2.2 rom on it from another laptop dragged it to card removed and popped it back in. I tried to reboot to recovery which worked, then reinstall, nothing. Tried to get to the SD card, but it doesn't find it.

Finally gave up and went back into recovery and did a factory data wipe reset or whatever it is called. When the phone rebooted it all booted fine, no problems at all however I lost every setting account etc..

So here's where I'm at now, i mounted it as USB and looked at the phone from the PC, in the clockwork folder is my backup I just can't get it to load.

I went back to the market and redownloaded the ryan OCLF and removed the lag, ext and root and I'm back to stock. Phone will turn off and back on.

What now? Where did I go wrong, it doesn't make any sense, I followed every instruction exactly as it was written.

I'm a little concerned to root again, but I want to backup settings, accounts etc.. in case this happens again.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
Thanks, I'll read through it now. I thought I had a good idea to drag the new rom to the sd card and fire it up from there, but it failed. Happy I didn't brick the phone. I saw a lot of posts saying ODIN was the only way back, guess I got lucky with the data wipe.

I've had iphones for 2 years and when this happened it would be a conflict with programs, is there a list like that for android like there was for cydia in the iphone info?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
I don't know.... but make sure you read carefully before you flash... in a nutshell the steps for ROM flashing is.

1. Root

2. Download and install ROM Manager from market

3. Flask clockwordmod recovery

4. Nandroid (backup)

5. Backup SD card to pc(just in case)

6. Flash your ROM from clockworkmod recovery.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
Here's a question I don't think is answered after reading the post. So rooting via OCLF without installing the lag fix v2 is exactly the same as rooting by dragging and dropping.

Rooting in itself can't cause the phone to not reboot, but if you flash incorrectly or apply lag fix and flash over them you could run into trouble. I just can't seem to figure out where the error was. I didn't delete the update zip after rooting, thats the only error I see.

Other issue I noticed is that on mounting to USB after booted I can see the backups, but I can't locate the ROM zip I put on the SD card or the SD card at all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
So let me get this straight... you rooted via OCLF.. but did not apply the lagfix?

Edit: oh I see... u tried to flash a froyo Rom then go back to stock?...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
Let me correct what I'm saying, the phone went into the stuck glowing S screen when trying to turn it back on after I ran the battery down to nothing. It wouldn't boot past that point. I tried reinstall, reboot, etc..from the menu in clockwork recov in recov screen as that was all i could get to. When that failed I tried just loading a 2.2 ROM to the sd card direct from my laptop, thought I could just flash from that screen right over everything, didn't work either. Thats when I tried delete all info as a last effort, but then it magically booted back 100% stock, but still rooted. So i reloaded OCLF and unrooted because I don't know what caused the phone to be stuck in the S screen, I didn't flash anything, just did the root and oclf all from ryan's OCLF app
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
I tried to reroot manual, didn't work, lots of issues, wouldnt root. Went back for OCLF gone. Went for the z4 gone. Found links for both, tried the z4 didnt' work, superuser continiously popping up for permissions, went back removed that and reloaded oclf from web, ran and fixed boot and rerooted, all good. Went back and downloaded and flashed Vibrant AOSP ish JK2 1.1 Official FROYO. Absolutely love it so far. I've been waiting for wifi calling for a long time, it actually works. Problem is I'm not really sure if I rebackup everything now or leave the backups I have from clockwork for stock. I keep reading everything and feel like I'm missing something. I have Vibrant AOSP ish JK2 1.1 Official FROYO saved so I guess if it crashes I just reflash that and don't need a backup, but should titanium backup the whole thing instead now? Sorry if no one replies i get it. Two years of iphone jailbreaking is a waste, nothing like this at all! I will say I never bricked an iphone, feel like i'm gonna brick this thing.

I want to run the OCLF v2, but concerned it's going to cause issues as it's running so smooth right now.
