[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I'm due to upgrade my Hero in January and currently torn between Desire HD, Galaxy S and Nexus S.

Here's my random thoughts so far, good and bad:

Nexus S

-Nice form factor, but possibly plasticy build like SGS.

-I'm not bothered about the vanilla Android experience as I would like to root flash a custom ROM from day one / as soon as available.

-I have a DSLR so the addition on LED flash over the SGS is no deal breaker.

-I have no intention of video calling so front facing camera is of no concern.

-NFC is not something I will ever use.

-Was expecting dual core, or at least a jump up from 1GHz.

-Unsure if / when T-Mobile UK will stock them.

-Most future proof of the three phones.

-Great screen.

Desire HD

-This was the main contendor to begin with but battery life seems to be a big issue for some and I don't really want a phone I have to either not use fully, disable features or charge more than once a day.

-It has Sense UI, which I have always liked.

-Great build, but possibly a little big.

-Nicest looking of the 3 phones.

-Screen not as good as Nexus S, SGS.

-Again, I have a DSLR so the 8MP camera + flash is nothing for me to get excited about.

Galaxy S

-Laggy out of the box - fixed with custom ROMs and other methods.

-GPS issues - Has this been fixed yet?

-Looks a bit too much like iPhone 3GS.

-Comfortable to hold, but feels a bit plasticy.

-Should get similar updates to Nexus 2, or at least good ports.

-Great screen.

-Increasing amount of decent custom ROMs, mods and themes.

So, with all that said, I'm still no closer to choosing one!

T-Mobile UK do both DHD and SGS already so I'll wait and see if they carry the Nexus S and then maybe I'll be able to make my mind up :)

I understand that the HD7 is almost the same as Desire HD in all terms..

so i guess that it's only a metter of time that a Dual boot will come out..I think..

What do you say?

I want to buy the mobile this week... I can't wait >_<

HD7 or i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofear69:
I know how you feel Lee...

But for me the Desire HD isn't a choice, cos it's cost 300$ more then the other phones..

that why i think about the HD7 as a choise..

and another thing.... The price hasn't change a bit even if you buy a Used one..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Wow, that's quite a price jump!

Personally, I'd go for the i9000 over any WinMo 7 based phone purely from an OS point of view.

My friend has the HTC Trophy WinMo 7 phone and it's a great handset, however I think the OS has a while to go before it's a worthy competitor for Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephengoo:
Don't buy Desire HD, it's a crap, beside the higher price than SGS, its battery life is horrible and its screen is never as good as Samsung's Super AMOLED.

If time is not problem, you should wait for Nexus S because it has the same specs as SGS plus Android 2.3, flash LED and good supports from Google.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitin985:
You should get the desire hd it looks the best it don't have that crappy pentile and HTC has a 8mpx camera with flash has a micro SD card slot , and does anyone even use more than 500mb for apps/games anyway ?? , xda already has some wicked roms and with the new snapdragon(better than hummingbird *opinion*) the phone is mega fast straight outside the box and finally HTC always is the next in line for there updates
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wombling:
But Nexus S not working on 850MHz for 3G

I was waiting for the Nexus S - I really wanted a stock Android phone, and when I saw the pictures I got very excited - and then I saw the lack of 850MHz 3G (UMTS) support. :(

Arguable the fastest and best coverage 3G network in Australia, the Telstra network runs on 850MHz (like AT&T and Rogers I believe). Pricing might not be as good - but work can pay for that ;).

So my question - should I wait with fingers crossed that a 850MHz 3G version of the Nexus S is developed/released, or should I just get a SGS (Telsta capable version - sorry can't post link am too much of a noob) and load stock Android on to it (assuming that in a couple of months someone will have figured how to do this for Gingerbread)?

I'm tempted to wait at least a little while, as no announcement of any availably of the Nexus S in Australia yet, but I really want to upgrade from my BlackBerry Bold soon (it and it's temperamental scroll "pearl" are is driving me mad!) The temptation to wait yet longer for a Honeycomb flavored phone is probably not enough to make me hold off.

Thanks for any thoughts/opinions on this idea
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szczeslaw:
BS. Screen is far superior on SGS, even tough it is "crappy pentile", DHD is not "mega fast straight out of the box" (my friend has one and i've spent some time with it), and HTC is NOT "next in line for there updates". Only original Desire got updates quickly, as it was almost exactly the same as Nexus One. But with other phones they've not been so eager to update (Hero for example).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokergypsy:
wait for the nexus s i have galaxy s and im getting the nexus if it ever comes to Sweden think you will get a flash with cam and you will get the new firmware the galaxy wont get that until summer lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgjlee:
Forgive me if I am wrong but the biggest problem with the Nexus S, and its a big one, is that it doesn't have SD card support... That is a big no and would steer me to the SGS. Having used a DHD, I can safely say that the battery life utter crap unless you do lots of tweaking and turn off all the features you would want on!

And no LED notifications on the Nexus
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
another major factor for NAM people is the lack of 850 band

both DHD and NS are great phones, but.... they are only available for Europe bands 900, 1900 for DHD and 900/1700/1900 for NS
[Continuum Android Development] aliwaqas:
Hi,

The Samsung Continuum is rooted courtesy Z4Root One Click App. You can either get it from official thread here or follow the instructions posted here. don't know if there are any custom ROM for continuum yet.
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
Or you can just download it from the Market, and run it...
[Continuum Android Development] aliwaqas:
Z4root is down from the market. I don't really about other countries, but here keyword search is showing nothing as Z4root. Can you please check if Z4root is available in your market?
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
I stand corrected... I just downloaded it from the market about a week ago so I assumed it was still there. It is gone now.

No word on any developers working on ROMs for this thing yet...
[Continuum Android Development] ernie one:
z4root

I temporarily rooted no problem with z4root, removed tons of Verizon bloatware.
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
Be careful with that. OTAs may look for all of their bloatware before installing... It could make upgrading to Froyo more difficult.

Can anyone confirm whether the Fascinate Clockwork Recovery works on the Continuum. I read on another forum that it does, but would like some better confirmation before I try it out....

Of course, that doesn't really matter until we get some ROMs going..... Please, devs, we need you....
[Continuum Android Development] logan302:
Continuum ROM

I have the source code from Samsung and would work on a ROM if someone could get me started. This is my first Android and I rooted with Z4. I deleted a bunch of Verizon crap and now am having outgoing text messages not getting to some recipients. I would love a stock ROM.
[Continuum Android Development] ernie one:
I came from using the Nexus One. XDA forums for that device were loaded with devs and goodies. I miss all the action and running Cyanogen ROMs.

What ROMs are best for the other Galaxy S devices? I'd offer a small donation to get the ball rolling.
[Continuum Android Development] vinylgruve:
I for some reason cannot root using z4root. Have downloaded it from here and also the Market on the Samsung Continuum and it does not seem to work. After installing and loading, touching permanent/temporary root seems to have no effect. The 'loading' graphic sits there and the app hangs at running the exploit. Sometimes it even locks the phone to the point where I can only get it to respond by pulling out the battery.

USB debugging is enabled on the device running: 2.1-update1

Build number SCH-I400.DJ20

If you need any other info (or if I am missing something) let me know.
[Continuum Android Development] ernie one:
It took me a few tries, but I was successful with the temporary root.
[Continuum Android Development] Weudel:
Don't know if it actually did anything, but it finally worked for me when I turned the screen off. Don't see how that would affect it, but that's how it worked for me.
[Continuum Android Development] ernie one:
Nice...bye bye bloatware!
[Continuum Android Development] logan302:
texting issue

HI All,

I posted above about having texting issues after removing bloatware. It turns out that it was the way Google was adding a +1 to my phone numbers. Back to customizing. Z4 worked for me.
[Continuum Android Development] vinylgruve:
Seems to be par for the course with z4. Something randomly done or happens with the phone and by some sort of divine intervention or coincidence it's then rooted. :(
[Continuum Android Development] ThePravus:
I also had issues with z4, hardlocked the phone the first time. Second time it FC'd. Third time I was waiting and got a text message. As I was replying to it, z4 popped back up and said rebooting phone. It rebooted and it was rooted.
[Continuum Android Development] vinylgruve:
I actually got it to work after trying and trying and trying. Now to find a Google Quick Search widget that isn't bugged and doesn't stick to the top of the homescreen after clicking on/touching/using it.
[Continuum Android Development] Paradio:
Finally got my phone rooted with Z4. Now can't connect to my computer. Gives me the option on whether to use a media card or USB storage. Chose both options (not at same time) and neither worked. Am tempted to remove root as it connected prior to rooting. Has anyone connected after rooting? Any help?

Thanks
[Continuum Android Development] samuelhadams:
Not sure what your issue is. I have my phone rooted and have no problem mounting my phone to my PC.
[Continuum Android Development] logan302:
connecting

I am rooted and have trouble connecting to kies and the other program.
[Continuum Android Development] Paradio:
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is USB debugging checked or unchecked under settings, apps? Probably missing something stupid..
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
I have found that if USB debugging is checked, I can't mount my SD card, so make sure that it's unchecked.

Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
[Continuum Android Development] Paradio:
Damn, I have the USB debugging unchecked! Offers me the dual choice and then nothing ;-(...It worked b4 rooting but posts above say that shouldn't be a problem. Am lost here.. BTW, Happy holidays-make them safe!
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
I would say to do a factory reset at this point. I don't know what else to do.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Turkz:
Ok so this is not the first time this has happened to me. My problem is that i launched android and when i came back to WM it said that the majority of everything that was installed on my SD Card "cannot be opened"?!?! pretty much everything i open that i installed on my SD is like that. Bla bla cannot be opened certificates or corrupt. basically that. Except for a couple windows marketplace downloads like blonde jokes =p. This has happened several times to me and the previous times i just hard reset. Just in case this happens again i would really like to know if there is a fix. I have the most recent official T-mobile ROM 3.14 and i really hate hard reseting then having to reinstall every freaking thing. is there a quick fix. Would be much appreciate if anyone could clear my head and expand it with this one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] searchingforsilence:
Anybody else ever deal with this? My phone battery died last night. Now anything installed on my sd card gets the same error message. I know it's a windows security setting but can't seem to find a fix yet.

I've found plenty of other threads but not really the answer I'm looking for. Closest thing I found was here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784519) but the last comment said to install BsB tweaks which I already had installed but I haven't been able to run or reinstall since this happened. I also can't run my registry editor app which took away some of the other suggestions I found. WinMo is just plain pissed at me.
[Desire General] blountish:
I tried to install Defrosts mod I think and now on the screen its just displaying a multicolured x flashing thing? Is this bricked or is it possible to recover it (I hope)
[Desire General] blountish:
I hope Ive managed to sort it, got it into recovery mode. So hopefuly this will work, fingers crossed x
[Desire General] vnvman:
Probably you didn't wipe properly before flashing...just boot into recovery, perform a data/cache/dalvik wipe and reflash, then you're good to go :)
[Wildfire General] Drdroidlove:
Is it me or is the wildfire way behind other similar android phones in terms of rom variety? Coming from a desire, i would say so.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Dude can you seriously stop creating these threads in the development forum, these belong in General.
[Wildfire General] Drdroidlove:
Thanks for that mate, i m new on xda.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bromarios:
i use AuraxTSense 8.0 with matching kernel and radio. Today I tried to "fix Permissions" using the ROM manager app since my friend brought it up. about 3/4 ways through it said there was an error and could no longer continue with the process. So i just exited the process and decided to just restart my phone, when i turned it on i no longer had any contacts, on my text messaging app it only showed the numbers of the people i was texting and when i went to my contacts it kept loading non stop. I then did a TitaniumBackup and after that restored a backup that i had done 2 days before. I went upstairs when the phone was restoring and when i came back downstairs i found the screen off, and it was vibrating nonstop. i immediately removed the battery and put it in again. when i did that it started the vibrating again. i waited 5 minutes with the battery out and decided to put it back in. it did not vibrate this time and is showing that it is charging. i am yet to turn the phone on but are these signs that the phone is bricked?

Thank You.

Has anyone else been having trouble cooking up themes using the framework-res.apk from cm6.1 stable at the ultimate online theme kitchen? Everything I try never finishes I waited 25 minutes fire just a battery and never got it
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
Could be an issue with the UOT website...i'll post back here in a bit because i'm about to do a full wipe, cook up my UOT and put that into the ROM, resign and then flash...so if i get stuck at the UOT part of it i'll let you know.

Edit: Worked for me boss...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hungmung:
I tried again just now and it worked like a charm. maybe the sight was bogged down from do many people recooking their roms after downloading the new cm6.

Hello Guys,

Today I want to present you my first developed game for Android and I want to say hello to this really nice community. :)

I want to tell you how it operates.

At first it checks that Bluetooth is available.

Then it reads the user data of the found devices.

Then the discovery process starts and it searches for devices.

When it finds one, it will be added to the list of founded devices, so that it will not beeing marked as a new device when finding it again.

Then the data will be uploaded to the central ranking server and the script will return the current ranking of your device and the number of devices, that have a rank.

There is also a level system. You have to find a set number of devices to get into the new level. This number is shown just the same as the number of devices you have found.

With the achievement system you can unlock game features and with the settings you can personalize your game.

The scoreboard shows the complete rankings, also with a nice addition, that every user that was active in the last 5 minutes will be marked as 'Searching' (Needs an achievement to see).

Please give any critique you can. :)

Screenshots:

I still want a program that will connect to Bluetooth devices and send them up to 130 characters I think it was, like I had for my HTC Tilt. Never worked on the Tilt 2, never seen anything like it for the Nexus. Was fun to walk around in crowded places and send stuff to strangers. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
This app is funny, just miss 2 things :D (or I didn't find them ^^)

1. Telling user the name of the access point, not only the MAC address (as you said, there's some funny ones :D)

2. Knowing who's next to me :D I know I'm 4th, but I don't know who's 3rd, nor who's 5th. I even didn't put my nickname in it, how am I suppose to go in front of my friends and say "Hey, look at that, Khoral's 1st. BLUETOOTH HEADSHOT ! MAC ADDRESS MONSTER KILL !". You know what I mean :D
[Android Apps and Games] Landrash:
Used for "good"

Maybee there is a way too use this information for good?

Scan services on devices and soo on to collect useful information for ... someone? :p

[Android Apps and Games] Jur1nator:
jup i sometimes am surprised by how many people let their phone running bt .

i live in berlin to.. you have to try it out for example in the o2 arena.. ( op knows waht i mean) you are going to rank up pretty fast :D
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Haha, nice to see your answers. :D

Like i said, it can be very funny to scan only to be the number 1 xD

Today I was in the metro and got 100 devices. :eek:

I will add the scoreboard as soon as I can ! :)

Would it be ok, if the name you use as Bluetooth name will be used for the scoreboard ?

@Khoral:

It is surely a bit difficult to show the name immediately after a device was found, because the names will only be researched after a finished Scan. So I have to cancel the Scan after a new device was found, research the name of the device, show a toast with the name and then start the scan again to find a new device.

But I'm sure, that I will make it. ^^

Until the new version, i wish you much fun. :D
[Android Apps and Games] radar5:
cool game. can't wait to play some :)
[Android Apps and Games] tattevajoo:
The game sounds interesting! Had to go and turn my other BT devices just for this :D.

Was wondering.. if it doesn't already, can you make it run on the backround? So I wouldn't have to be manually turning it on every time I want it to register devices. I guess it's not the point of this game, but I'd just be interested in how many BT devices I run into on my way to work and back.
[Android Apps and Games] Fiddlestix:
hmmm does it upload the information about the device, location, where it is? etc etc to ur website?

[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
You can :)

ATM, I'm 1st :) (with 273 devices found)
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
What about this idea?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21269628&postcount=162
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
This idea is not bad, but not applicable.

At first, I can not use a third party site for commercial use. (which it is, after selling the unlocked version)

Second, the database lasts update was on 19 Feb 2010, which is now 1 year and 364 days (:D) ago. So there are some devices, that aren't listed.

Third, this site hasn't a layout, that is applicable for reading out the result and it hasn't an API.

Fourth, due to the fact, that I will implement the found devices list, you can easily look out the name, of each bluetooth device.

Let me explain:

When the Bluetooth adapter is searching and then founds a new device, it only gets it's MAC address. The name will only retrieved at the end of each search, of each device, that is found during the search. (which can last to 12 seconds)

So there is no possibillity to show a name of the device, that is just found. But the name will be written in the so called found bluetooth devices cache and is then bound to the mac adress, so there is the possibillity to retrieve the name later.
