[HTC Aria General] Script:
Correct me if im wrong, but isnt the dalvik cache still set to be stored on the internal memory by default, and using a2sd(which is what I do) the only way to move it to the sd card.

After every flash, I reinstall a2sd from clockwork, then load the build of CM6 I just updated, then go to terminal and run:

su -> a2sd cachesd(then phone reboots and the dalvik cache flag is signaled to be stored on sdext instead of internal storage.

and then to be safe I usually run "a2sd repair".

Is there an easier, more reliable, stable, blah blah way of moving dalvik to sd, and ensure all installed apps are stored on sd instead of internally? Right now i have about 70 apps installed, and have 166mb free internal memory left. And everything is very fast and snappy. I have no problems using a2sd. it seems to be working perfectly for me.

So could someone tell me if there is a better way of achieving what I am already achieving, without using a2sd? Thanks
[HTC Aria General] Milx:
I tried to find the a2sd but could not find it, would u be kind to guide me to it =)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
What's the difference between CM 6.1 RC and the actual release?

(The official changelog has zero indication of the changes between these, which is why I'm asking.)

Is it worth upgrading? I've been running 6.1 RC for weeks now with no issues.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I've yet to find anything noticeable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fubaya:
I'm not sure, but I think the notification power widget, lock screen gestures and 2 extra sliders on the lockscreen for messaging and phone came with rc2, so, if those are interesting, it may be worth an update.

I don't use any of those but I'm staying on rc2 because it only came out 9 days ago so there's probably not much change between it and the release.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBERG117:
No issues on my end either with rc2. I have read though that others are reporting fixes with issues they were having. Guess its just dependant on how you use your phone. I upgraded to the stable version myslef.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android01:
good question. I have asked this myself too , as the change logs are the same. I suppose noone can be bothered doing a write up every time and i cant say i blame them. Personally id rather see RC's and bugfixes than changelogs if i had to pick one or the other.

Documentation is a huge time consumer, and for talented coders, its a explanation for the layman rather than more progress.

Maybe you could volunteer as the cm scribe. :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
From what I can tell, there is some added functionality with the lockscreen. From RC2 to stable: I believe you can now pick the application that the messaging slider opens. Also, maybe disable the sliders all together? Change the color of the gesture trace

I assume you have spent some time on a theme that won't survive an update? It doesn't take but a couple minutes to flash the stable version, no wipe/restore/etc needed.. no real costs to upgrade
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fubaya:
I'm on rc2 and have both of those things, but I'm not sure what Paul is on. If he's on RC1, those may be new.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Well from RC to RC or from RC to stable release, I'd figure that SOME type of indication as to what happened would be useful since every single person that downloads CyanogenMod will be wondering this question.

5 minutes by 1 person could save thousands of minutes of others wondering / asking / creating new threads (like the one).

Documentation is always worth it (and I'm a programmer).

I have the notifications widgets, and I use a lockscreen replacement (WidgetLocker) so I guess I'd never see those new lockscreen features.

Are those the only changes?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] oyko:
I am using DXJPA and speedmod kernel k9a-300Hz.

I got problem when using SGS as a mobile AP, the problem I can not brwose the internet from laptop?

Anybody can help?

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Odia:
Enable data network mode, long press on power, then select it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willows:
Have you tried it? I tried and didn't work. That only enable data network not fixing Mobile AP. Actually when i run Mobile AP, all my device can connect to Samsung but when i want to browsing internet using my device it show no internet connection. This problem appear after I upgrade to Froyo before i upgrade using Eclair is no problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Its working on all firmware i have tried.

It also work on my kernel.

So it must be your phone that has wrong settings or corrupt program.

Or its the speedmod kernel you use.

Sent from GT-I9000 jpo. My own kernel for z4mod and with 342MB Ram
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Odia:
Yes I have tried it, Mobile AP should be improved to enable data mode, but if I do it manually I get full internet access on the connected device, you should check your APN settings and make sure you can browse on the SGS using data mode, if that works, I see no reason you cannot get mobile AP to work after.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] peachpuff:
I have the same issue on my captivate, i can connect to the phone but have no internet access.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willows:
You must edit DNS address on your computer if you connect your phone with your computer. I tried and have no problem now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] peachpuff:
Why would i have to edit any settings on my computer when connecting to a mobile access point? You scan for open ap's, connect and it should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wesleylau:
Hi any more details about the DNS address settings ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willows:
I put my provider DNS address. Maybe you can ask your provider
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dani31:
SOLVED!

Finally solved!

If your computer is able to connect to your SGS Mobile AP, but has no internet access, you are probably using a proxy server.

The proxy should be configured both in the phone APN, and in the computer internet settings. Make sure the same proxy from your phone is input into you computer, under Internet Options > Connections > Lan Settings.

Also, it seems that all Froyo roms affect DNS' ability to translate proxy hostnames into IP addresses.

In plain English, the proxy on your computer should be input as 74.125.79.104 rather than www.google.com (dummy example).

You can find the IP address of any hostname using http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php

Hope this helps.
[Droid X General] Venc:
Hi,

I'm wondering whether I need to use a factory reset on my Droid X or a full SBF reset.

I installed the Black hat hotspot fix and then uninstall because it was giving me problems, as the phone wouldn't automatically connect to WiFi, mainly the encrypted ones, but still have the same problem even after uninstalling it.

Also there has to be some weird app that got my info because I have gotten a few txt "Thank you for visiting our site .... blah blah.... reply STOP" I don't ever give my number, I use my google number so maybe was gotten from some app.

If I do a factory reset would it fix the problem with the WiFi? And get rid of whatever app left on my phone??

Thank you!!!!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I'm not sure if a factory reset would do this, as I'm not exactly sure what it "resets" to be exact.

If you're comfortable doing a SBF, this will definitely get you back to working condition. Just be sure that you are using the right SBF file for the current version of android you are running.
[Droid X General] Venc:
Hey Thanks,

Do you know which one is for the OTA? I haven't been keeping up for quite a while, don't remember which one to use. I know SBF 2.1 would brick it

Do y'all think they will eventually make a Nexus S for 850 and 1900 3G bands like they did for the Nexus One?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehgeekguy:
Hard to say... it'd make sense if they want to market it to UK and Canadian users, since more of their carriers use the bands AT&T does for 3G. Even if they do, it's not gonna make me jump from my N1. I'm perfectly happy with it, and I personally don't care for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Regarding UK carriers - wrong. The Nexus S already has UMTS 2100 which is used UK-wide, and UMTS 900 which is about to gain greater adoption in the UK. No carrier in Europe uses AT&T's bands.

But regarding Canadian carriers, yes, it'd make sense to produce a UMTS 850/1900 version. That doesn't mean it's incredibly likely to happen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skunz35:
Well I hope it does! Everyone is really downing the phone and theyve never even held it! Google put their name on it so I bet its way better than people are making it out to be

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheik124:
Here's to hoping there's a software hack like the one they had for the Vibrant's 850 MHz band.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan1431:
While I have no first hand knowledge what so ever, if Google/handset manufacturer work on the same time line as the N1, after a period of time they will release a North American 3G variant of the Nexus S.

Quite frankly, I wonder why TMo seems to always get the Google Experience Phone, do most developers use TMo?

While I have no issues with TMo other than that they are not real big in my area of the USA, I cannot help but wonder why not either put a pentaband chip-set in the phone (which supports all Frequencies) or offer two variants right off the bat.

It just seems weird to me is all, I realize that El Goog probably has a good reason, but if sales are a key driving force why not offer it to more potential users and not just to users on the USA smallest network.

Dan
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheik124:
Because they don't care? Google and Samsung are both corporations that serve to make their shareholders $$$, not keep us happy. Seriously. How many 850 MHz Nexus Ones did Google sell? Four? It's a ****ing shame because that phone @ at&t when it came out was really only up against the iPhone 3GS - it had no retail presence, and failed. Someone in some marketing office is confusing causation & correlation - their unsubsidized, unmarketable phone didn't sell.

They messed up again, the phone is still only being sold unsubsidized. Nobody buys unsubsidized phones in America (statistically speaking).

EDIT: I have an 850 MHz Nexus One - release day. I haven't seen a single phone on the market to make me even consider switching out. Consequence of dropping unsubsidized cash on a phone I guess.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
That was a false positive. The TMobile Vibrant has 1900 3g but it's never had 850.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
The Nexus S is being sold @ a subsidized price: $199 w/ contract

Google and Samsung do serve to make money for shareholders, but Google does so primarily by making people happy, that is why their services are mostly free. Happy customers are Google's commodity.

About the AT&T 3G bands: I got an "i don't know" from a Google Software developer this morning on Twitter, so doubtful it will be around the Tmobile launch, but I don't think there is any question with the phone being sold in Best Buy and the way Samsung handled the Galaxy, it won't be too long
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
If there was a 850MHz version, I would put my order in tonight as I'm itching for a 4" phone (perfect size IMO). I have a feeling there probably wont be one though, as the Nexus S is more about having an up to date, clean-slate phone for developers to use and for Google to showcase new Android features. I doubt they care about maximizing sales of them, and there's probably not a lot to gain by opening them up to AT&T/Rogers/Bell/Telus customers, especially after all the testing and certification requirements.

Canadians that really want one can go with Wind Mobile or Mobilicity... and if I lived in the US I would pick T-Mobile over AT&T any day.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
While this has been addressed in part already, I'd like to address the other half of the story.

The Nexus S has already gone through the FCC. Check the FCC filings, and you'll find the frequencies on which the phone can operate. Go back and check the Vibrant initially passing through the FCC. See the difference?

The S does not have the hardware required for 3G to operate on AT&T. No software hack will enable what the hardware just CAN NOT do.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheik124:
Ah, didn't know that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastegate13:
That's easy for you to say. I'd jump on Tmobile in a heartbeat but they have no, and I mean none, service at my work. Since I spend the majority of my time there it rules out Tmobile for me. So lets hope an ATT compatible version comes out in a few months.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skunz35:
Yeah I would happily drop 500+ dollars on a at&t nexus s if they make one for 850 and 1900 3G bands
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
maybe all developers have shotty credit and can only get approved for T-Mobile flexpay?

i kid i kid...kinda...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yeah i dont understand it either. it seems as though these manufacturers actually HURT their sales by not being forthcoming right off the bat. we all dance around the issue, not knowing to buy or not buy, will an 850 version come later for me, etc. nobody is gonna drop 500 with that type of info. just lay it all out there from the beginning so people know to buy or not!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AITT:
If more people supported developers, credit wouldn't be needed. . . .
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
I have two thoughts on this. First, TMo doesn't give a crap. Look at the approach that most providers take to their phones, as far as bloatware, locking it down, crippling, etc. TMo, IMO, does far less of that than any other carrier. Imagine Google asking a carrier to offer a subsidized price on a Google Experience device, that they can't put any bloatware on. AT&T would laugh. For months. I think the prime reason is that TMo is willing to do that, while the others simply are not.

Two, doesn't TMo have a cell tower in Google's parking lot? I read that somewhere, but can't find anything on it. Maybe someone here has some info on that??

Again, Dan, I feel it's because TMo is the only carrier to offer a subsidy on it. Sammy can make a phone that works on any or all frequencies, if they want to. But they'd have to find someone willing to sell it, without any carrier subsidy, and more importantly, they'd have to have customers willing to buy it unsubsidized. On this latter point, I believe that is why Google felt the N1 was a massive failure. They didn't sell anywhere near what they wanted to, and they couldn't get AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon to offer a subsidy. I'm not sure what happened with the CDMA folks, but I can only venture a guess as to AT&T...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownrebelx:
I was guessing the same thing. Either there is RIDICULOUSLY good T-Mo reception at the Mountain View campus OR it has to be some sort of deal between T-Mo and Google.

I remember when the G1 came out. I was thinking "wow, what an ugly phone. Android seems like a cool concept but seeing how it works on that phone is crappy. boo hiss etc". The phone did not seem to have much promise compared to the other competitors (windows mobile and....iphone). Naturally T-Mo took a huge risk carrying and promoting the at the time unknown phone. It seems like that faith has paid off because Google has chose T-Mobile as the only official carrier of ALL of their developer phones (ADP1 (G1), ADP2 (MT3G), Nexus One, and now the Nexus S.)

Or maybe it's some combination of both of those theories. :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I blame Google for not advertising on tv. Right when the nexus one was released Google bought a superbowl add prime time, and instead of pitching their new nexus one and phone purchasing model, they pitched the main Google.com site. Talk about a wasted opportunity, they had the entire country's attention and could have shown the nexus one.

So I have no pity for that bone head move.

[Q] Nexus S unlocked for att?

Hello,

As from the title, my question is whether the Nexus S has been carrier unlocked for ATT. my girlfriend's Nexus one just met its end on the sidewalk and she was looking at the nexus S. However she is on ATT and doesnt want to get a data plan so that takes out all of ATT smartphones. So its either I buy her a new nexus one or some other unlocked tmobile phone.

Has the nexus S been unlocked for att? No 3g is ok.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i dont know about this year. last year it was a surprise to me so i dont know if it was pre-announced or not. i just wish they capitalized on that valuable space they paid for. they could have pitched google.com, and then at least given a 5 second spot at the end saying:

"want to be free from your carrier? Try our new google phone at google.com/phone"

so many people would have been curious and checked it out.

Is there a known-ish timeframe for when they actually release the phone, once they have the FCC stamp?

After a month using the nexusS on ATT with edge only, and then returning it to bestbuy, this is all I was waiting for to get rid of my iphone4.

After using iphone 3gs, iphone4, captivate, droidX, droid2 and nexuss, I have to say that NS is the best smartphone experience I had so far. And getting updates direct from google is perfect. I dont have to reflash my phone every other day with custom roms, cause the stock one is incredible good already. (only have to re-root, of course :P ).

What is the difference between the Nexus S and the X10 Mini?

because...

I flashed the norway firmware on my gf's X10 mini and voila... fresh 2.0 without 3G (no 850mhz band) :/

then I waited to the brazilian 2.0 firmware to come out, flashed it and... 3G working, with 850mhz band.

Why this cannot be a firmware (rom) setting on Nexus S, like hapenned with the X10 mini?

Besides, I'm switching the carrier (my current carrier has 850 mhz in some cities, and 2100 on others, but where I stay most of the time it work with 850 Mhz :/)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
850 MHz capability is a physical requirement, I don't know anything about the X10 mini but the TMobile Nexus S is physically incapable of 850Mhz 3G wireless signal as, according to the FCC filings, it did NOT ship with 850Mhz 3G hardware.

In conclusion, if you flashed firmware updates to the X10 mini and could pick up 850Mhz 3G signals, that means the X10 mini shipped with a radio capable of picking up that signal and for whatever reason it was not enabled
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
I am kind of excited. I am currently on my N1. Don't really need a new phone. However ATT is releasing couple of new Android phone I like such as inspire and atrix.
