[Venue Pro General] pNoyr3D:
Come on guys, every phone has issues when it comes out. Luckily for us the Venue Pro is DELL's signature WP7 phone so they can focus on it, unlike HTC.

They can improve it by updates and other stuff.

Everyone is worrying just a bit too much.
[Venue Pro General] blanket:
i wonder if she knows how ridiculous are the things she just said
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
The HTC HD2 was also locked to T-Mobile but once outside the US it would work on any network. Until someone tries it we won't know if it's the same for the DVP.
[Venue Pro General] Shoot2ill:
I'm curious. Did anyone else pay using PayPal? Dell's showing the "In Production" status, but the transaction is still listed as "Pending" by PayPal, and the funds haven't been withdrawn from my bank account. Little worried, since I've already had an order canceled on me.
[Venue Pro General] yourlife:
I was able to pay with paypal just fine.

edit: They funds went back into my bank account and the Paypal still says the payment is pending. The order status is still "In Production" but I'm a little worried still.
[Venue Pro General] pangelovski:
Anyone from the US travelling to Europe?

Hi guys!

It would be nice if anyone that will get the DVP before Christmas and is planning to travel to Europe to tell us if it works outside the US with a European SIM.

My friend will travel to the US for Christmas and I'm thinking of getting a phone but want to get it confirmed if it will work in Europe without any sim unlock?

PS. Does anyone know if the T-mobile contract free version will have a T-mobile logo on it?
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
Just cancelled mine. With all the waiting and BSing even though they may and probably will ship real soon I have lost interest. Maybe down the road:( way to blow it dell, and i switched to Tmob for this damn phone
[Venue Pro General] CrownSeven:
How the heck did you cancel you're order? I tried canceling mine and they wouldn't let me.
[Venue Pro General] hvbelton:
Same here. They said to wait and receive the phone then contact Dell to return it.
[Venue Pro General] mancuk29:
You mean like the buggy streak ? Will never buy from dell again had my steak 2 days sent it back for refund got two replacements sent back and took dell 3 months to refund, knew 3 people with streaks build quality crap and customer services from uk even worse
[HD7 General] schmak01:
Anyone know how to turn this off or turn it down?

When on the phone or checking voicemail I have to move my phone about 2 feet from my face to get the screen to come back.

Makes hanging up a PITA too.
[HD7 General] alabij:
Two feet is a lot. usually the sensore deals in inches. Unless someone else is experiences this I fear you may have a faulty device.
[HD7 General] schmak01:
Great now it just shuts the screen off even when I leave it on the table.
[HD7 General] aaronhope1972:
Is it possible that you are a vampire or a ghost and just haven't realized it yet?
[HD7 General] schmak01:
I think I figured it out.

The prox sensor is on the top left of the phone.

If I put my finger near it, it goes off. I am also left handed, so my finger is usually up there when I hold the phone.
[Android Software Development] llxxjinxxll:
Two games that would be awesome on android...will it ever happen?? Can it happen?? The phones are certainly more than capable of running the games...
[Android Software Development] generalamerica:
I saw a Starcraft port in Google Code Hosting.
[Android Software Development] SysAdmin-X:
Are the games even natively supported on linux? I remember I got starcraft running on my omnia i910 forever ago, and that phone was a piece compared to just about any android phone out right now...

I would love to see it ported to android, but I feel like the practicality of playing such games on a phone is kinda dumb to an extent....after all, there are reasons games like this were made for an actual PC...

But that's just my two cents... would it be cool, undoubtedly... anyways will check in on this from time to time.
[Android Software Development] KLoNe1:
Would be ultra cool. Would love to see some more PC/Linux supported games ported to Android! :)
[Fascinate General] robertesteele:
I have and love the new DJ05 update I just have one question. Ever since I installed it I have a new Icon on the top status bar of my phone that is like a diamond box with a plus sign in it and then off to the right side there are some curved shaped bars that get progressively bigger like a voice or signal strength icon. At first I thought it was my GPS but when I turn GPS off that symbol stays there and when I am using GPS then I get a different GPS icon. I'm not sure what this symbol is and I was just curious if anyone knows what it is.
[Fascinate General] robertesteele:
Ok so I just unticked all the location services in the location settings and the icon remains on the phone but the curved bars next to it go away if they are all unticked, so it must have to do with my current location. Maybe it is just a little notification saying it knows where it is.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Hey, why don't we tell the world that we have dj05? There was a reason that you're supposed to not talk about it on forums...

Please refer to irc.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Retrokid's updated AOSP theme gets rid of the icon by making it transparent. That's the only way to actually get rid of it at this time as far as I know.
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
Thatdudebutch's SuperDark theme also gets rid of it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drzplaya1121:
I've been rooting my phone for a few months now and I'm still confused about kernels.

My question is: do kernels work for every firmware? When I had FRF91 I would install any kernel but now that I have FRG83D I'm wondering if the same kernel will work on the updated firmware. Can someone please clarify?

Also which kernel is best to get the most out of battery life. I spent 2 months tethering my phone for hours and my battery isn't what it used to be so I need all the help I can get to keep it running
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DonPanda:
Hi,

is it possible to erase all app data (same as factory reset in settings)?

I've tried to reflash with Open Europe 2.1 but everytime i'm back at the homescreen i get hundrets of force closes. So its not be able to join the settings cause these are force close too when i try to start. What the hack can i do to delete all apps and got a new, clear 2.1? :(

best regards and thanks.

I had also problem, but i could quickly tap service menu combination

Also try wipe from recovery or fastboot -w

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DonPanda:
Ohhhh come on... At least it was your idea too but i didnt know how to hard reset ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DonPanda:
Ok, now i got a huge problem.

I try to join Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile Network but allways when i want to join these settings there is an error.

"Process com.android.phone" was forced closed.

I've tried hard reset, reset to factory settings and reflash the phone. Nothing works.

What to do now?
[Galaxy Tab General] lucboucim:
Very simple question:

How are we supposed to upgrade the Bell Canada Galaxy Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Either Bell will issue an update or you can flash the unbranded firmware and get the updates as Samsung pushed them. People correct me if I am wrong but I think this is how it will/does work.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
That's correct. Though they never notify you about Kies updates.
[Galaxy Tab General] lucboucim:
So you would do it through Kies?

The problem is that I can't Kies to recognize my Tab.

Or is it over the air?
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Kies doesn't recognize your Tab because Kies hasn't been updated to recognize your Tab. Before they roll out a Bell Tab update, they'll roll out a Kies update, and Kies will let you know there is an update for it.

TLDR; You're not missing anything yet, and there is no OTA for Galaxy devices in Canada (or most of the world, for that matter).
[Galaxy Tab General] lucboucim:
Thanks,

I'll try to make Kies work on my win7 pc and then watch for updates.

(unfortunate that they don't have a Mac version)
[Galaxy Tab General] Ice dream angel:
I wish they would have one for mac.

If it dosent work on win7 try going properties > compability > select windows xp.

Im not sure about kies but other software for flashing ive used made me do that with windows 7
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanksta:
hi guys,

i purchased an at&t captivate which has cognition rom on it. the seller took the sd card out, market is not installed etc. i tried flashing stock rogers rom, updated firmware but it reports sdcard busy when i boot in recovery mode.

thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchimney:
As to the OP, does the phone turn on: ie can you get to the homescreen and such?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanksta:
yeah the phone turns on. i can make calls, receive texts, surf over wifi etc.

gtalk cannot launch, cant connect to rogers 3g network..

i need to get a rom loaded on there. any rom, can i load cognition using adp?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pvster:
do an odin 1click restore and see where that gets you if you can.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIKERBOY8989:
Ok.. First , It is an att phone so I am going to assume it has an att cog rom on it YES? Second .... There are Samsung calls the internal storage of the phone an sd card... there is also a spot for an external sd card. The Phone has the internal card or the phone wouldn't boot.

I am curious as to which you are having problems with.... the root or the flashing

You do have to be rooted to flash a rom unless youre using Odin

And Rom Manager makes Everthing Nice!!

Anyways the External (microsd) sd card is in /sd/sd

internal is just sd

You are wanting to use an Att phone on a different network so this Requires :

A: 1. Reflash Cog. 2.3b6 (which will include att bloatware plus "market.)

2. Use the tips and tricks to sideload apps in 2.2 .

3. Unlock the phone for use with Rogers Network.

B. 1. Reflash to att cog 2.3b6 and do the root , and the unlock

2.Flash your rogers rom. you should be set.

I am curious as to which you are having problems with.... the root or the flashing

hope to hear

bikerboy
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanksta:
working!

thanks for the reply guys.

i had trouble with flashing any new roms so used odin3 to go back to the stock at&t one.

rooted the phone, then installed recovery. created a backup of the stock rom with root and have flashed axura rc1.

back in business and testing roms! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mwallner:
Hello guys 'n girls!

I spent a long time on combining all the froyo-based roms out there with the different kernels that are available.

Here's the outcome:

Use OTA-CM-mix froyo rom from amazinglarry: [link]

After flashing the rom, flash ezterry's BiffMod kernel: [link]

Why should u use it?

it's REALLY fast

the battery-life is pretty good (I play around with it alot and get about 2 days!)

please tell me how u like it!

[Captivate General] xiaoali:
So I was checking out the new GpsRestore app on the market when I noticed that Samsung Mobile also has published a Camera firmware installer app for the AT&T Captivate. Has anyone tried this out? It doesn't really list what changes were made.
[Captivate General] ylyubkin:
I run it and it says my firmware is current.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
I downloaded it and it installed something LOL. I'm running Captivate 2.3b6
[Captivate General] Dr. Bogger:
I installed it as well, but I haven't noticed any differences...

Does anyone know the changelog?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I sent a message to samsung support and they are checking. The market says v10.9.07 and when i installed it, app manager took my camera firmware from v1 to v2. Something changed, but the menus look the same to me. So no idea.
[Captivate General] n0stalgia:
It got removed off the market?
[Captivate General] Dr. Bogger:
I was just wondering the same thing... I cant find it anymore...
[Captivate General] shinji257:
I checked the app list after finding the gpsrestore one and other than the one i found immediately the rest are marked internal use only. Why stick up internal apps to the marketplace?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Probably because they want an easy way for testers to test fixes without enabling sideloading or teaching people how to sideload.
[Captivate General] darkovin:
Camera firmware

I installed the firmware, and now my camera no longer works. It loads, but when I try to take a pic, it says "camera failed", and then closes the camera app. I checked my software, (fring is not installed), I am running Cog 2.3b6 ROM.

Teach me to jump on something... lol

EDIT: Flashed my ROM to Perception Build 5, camera works again... Cleared cache at the same time...
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmstlist:
My sister-in-law got a Bell Desire Z and she may want my assistance with rooting and S-OFF.

I see that the key instruction to install ENG HBOOT is:

dd if=/sdcard/hbooteng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

I'm guessing, then, if I wanted to back up the stock HBOOT first, I could do the following?

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/hbootstock.img

And then if we later needed to restore stock HBOOT from the backup:

dd if=/sdcard/hbootstock.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Did I get the syntax right? I wouldn't want to brick her phone :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] dicer42:
Yes, thats the way to do it. I also backed up all other 30 partitions just in case ;)

Not sure about the restore though. I mean: It's the right commands and everything, but I'm not sure if it will work. Don't see why not though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmstlist:
Actually now that I've read about nightmarish situations where G2 owners tried to flash back using PC10IMG.zip after perm root and S-OFF, but the first thing it did was replace stock HBOOT, which subsequently locked them out of the rest of the phone. Yikes. I guess you really have to know what you're doing!
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
That problem will happen ONLY in the case you are flashing a PC10img.zip different from your original version, or if you are flashing an older version...

That will not happen if you get pc10img.zip from your accurate current version or a newer firmware version

After playing around it for a bit, i entered battery history, and under Network usage tab, i have a process named 0, wich usess 100%, and kills my battery. When i try to click it i get a force close from application settings and nothing happens.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
It looks like at least some of you (most? all?) are running non-standard firmwares.

I live in Canada and am using the SGS on Bell Canada. Examples of my native firmwares are JH2 (2.1) and JK3 (2.2). I was having TERRIBLE battery performance when I flashed a non-native firmware and didn't get back to anything decent until I flashed the right modem for my region and enabled the 850 band which wasn't enabled by default by the firmware I had flashed.

Also, look into your WIFI sleep policy. This can have a huge impact. I leave mine as "sleep when screen turns off". I don't recall what the 2.2 default setting is.

Menu > Settings > Wireless and network > WIFI settings > menu / Advanced > WIFI sleep policy > edit & menu/Save

ESPN killed the older version. When you tried to open it, it just brought up the score screen saying there is a new version and you have to update, but after the update, all it does is force close on startup. They pushed it on Friday right in the middle of a big 4-day football weekend. Brilliant!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNexxuvas:
I'm a tweaker, not an overhauler.

I run the Stock Sense Sprint ROM of course rooted. I always flash different themed clocks or battery readers but never fully changed roms or themes. I enjoy keeping things lean and mean so EVERY sprint app is gone, I even pull and replace the stock music and video apps Android has with my 2 favs from the market that I like so as not to have 2 diff players to confuse myself or Android with.

It works for me, so no complaints and I thoroughly test what can be pulled and what can't.

With that in mind, what kernels are being run the best these days with stock?

My battery life on the latest stock HTC kernel is amazing when the phone is on standby, literally 100% to 90% can sometimes be 4-5 hrs easily on standby, but I do use my phone in a heavy manner and drain gets there eventually after a couple hrs of music playing or maybe a 30 min tv show/anime or maybe even a 1 hr long audio or video podcast. Problem is sometimes that turns into 5-6 hrs of non stop audio or video play...so any kernels that would help with that kinda usage would be greatly appreciated and tested for my needs.

Thanks in advance.

[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I believe(may be wrong) tenzo and tazz are working on this kernel right now. Trying to back port to the .29 kernel. If they can get it working it should fix the only remaining issues with sense froyo roms, the camera and bt audio.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
The 2.6.32 kernel source is out for several devices now. It is my understanding that we can use this two different ways...

1) use one of the 2.6.32 kernels as a base and forward port the Eris specific stuff from 2.6.29 to the new base

2) use the Eris 2.6.29 kernel as a base and backport any fixes from the 2.6.32 kernels

It seems to me that #2 is mostly what's going on now, although there has been some work on the Hero CDMA with using the Wildfire 2.6.32 kernel as a base.

Some other devices actually have 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 kernels, but until we get a kernel dev with the knowledge, time, and motivation to do such things... We are stuck with grabbing commits from other kernel devs using method #2.

Again, this is how I understand things. I might be wrong, but I don't think so.

Digging around in the kernel code is good, geeky fun. I've learned a lot just by jumping in over and over again and not worrying about how much I know or don't know at any given time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Ok, so why don't you make us a 2.6.32 Kernel? :rolleyes:
