What if Best Buy dun accept non-US credit card..... :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navahoo:
then we are f*cked!

but my best guess ... googles checkout or paypal ... not!?!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophane:
Seems pretty unlikely.

I'm pretty sure they are unable to block credit cards by country.

If your credit card belongs to an established network (Visa or Mastercard for example), the payment should go through smoothly.

I'll be placing an order as soon as the Nexus S is in stock at best-buy.com, I'll keep you guys posted regarding the payment.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
I find no mention of warranty anywhere at all at Google, eBay or Best Buy. US warranties tend to be short, so I'd guess a phone sold in Greece would have a longer warranty, but at a higher price.

That will probably never happen. If you could buy loads of stuff somewhere at $530, would you sell them on eBay at the same price?

Anyway i have one U.S address in Charlotte NC, last year I've purchased a nexus one shipping it first to a U.S address and then to Italy ( very pricy ).

Best Buy accept paypal, so as I said i will try, if they reject my order i will wait February or i will take a Galaxy S.

Anyway i will update this topic as soon Best buy accept pre-order ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
My question would be:

(1) How do you send a package from US to Europe? I meant, which postal service is good and reliable? UPS? DHL? Or ...

(2) Do we need custom declaration? Import duty?

(3) Do we need to "write" something in the package? Like "a gift" or something? :)

I live in The Netherlands and I think I can ask my friend to buy from US, but I need advise for the best way sending this thing :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophane:
(1) USPS will take a little longer but is the best way to escape from any customs check.

(2) For any parcel living the US, there need to be a customs declaration filled-in

(3) Yes, you do need to describe what's in the package and what's the value

In most cases, checking the "Gift" box for question 3 is the best solution to avoid any problems with customs.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndda:
Hi everyone!

My Desire is unrooted with T-mobile banding running Froyo. I use o2 as provider.

The phone tells me that there is an OTA update 2.12.110.4 and let's me download. However it is not being installed. The respective zip file is only downloaded and saved to "/sdcard/download" - rebooting does not help... opening the zip does not help.

Searched the forum and many others. Only found solutions for unrooted devices. Any ideas on this?

Thanks a lot.

All the best...

Dennis
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
- Rename the file it downloads to update.zip and move it to the root of your sd card

- Turn phone off and turn it on again whilst holding volume down

- Highlight recovery and press power to select

- On the screen with the ! hold volume up and press power

- Highlight apply SD:update.zip and press power to select

- Follow instructions

This should sort you out
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndda:
Hi everyone,

I tried that...

I renamed the file to "update.zip" and moved it to the root of the sd card.

When I highlight recovery and press power to select the phone searches for the file on sd but does not seem to find it.

Then my Desire automatically turns black after probably a second and a half and starts to boot where it hangs until I take out the battery.

Then I can boot normally...

Also tried to rename the file in the sdcard/download folder to update.zip... also copied it to a "clean" sd card...

It's like the file is not recognized...

hmmm... any other ideas?

Regards

Dennis
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendozinas:
You should wait for phone to search SD (not pressing or highlighting anything) and only then:

- Highlight recovery and press power to select

just dont rush.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndda:
Tried that as well. It's quite fast, but if I read it correct (when the phone checks) it says that it does not find an image...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendozinas:
1. phone looks for P(something).zip automaticaly.

2. says cant find

3. only after that you should select recovery ant press power button

later:

- On the screen with the ! hold volume up and press power

- Highlight apply SD:update.zip and press power to select

- Follow instructions
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndda:
Hi everyone,

when my phone looks for "whatever".zip on the SD card it states the following...

"

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PR99IMG.zip]

No image!

"

...also see attached picture. I somehow managed it to take a picture of it.

View attachment 465861

I tried with different SD cards (1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 16 GB). I also tried it with the card I usually use (16 GB). Tried it with the card that originally came with the phone (4 GB with all original data on it - out of the box). Formatted the 4 GB card to FAT32, FAT, NTFS... nothing seems to help. Also tried it with SIM card and without SIM card... so basically I tried lots of different combinations to get this running.

But still no progress. As soon as I select recovery and press the power button the phone restarts and I get a pinkish small pic (probably due to the T-Mobile Branding) and nothing else...

Stayed on that screen for at least 30 minutes. Nothing happened. So everytime I try that I'll have to take out the battery, place it back in... just to get the phone started again - just to get the reminder from my phone that there is a system update ready to be installed.

I hope this helps to understand my phone's problem.

All the best

Hi,

Are you actually rooted or unrooted? Not 100% clear in your first post.

If you're rooted, you shouldn't really be running OTA updates.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Right, do you have the OTA file renamed update.zip?

If so, make sure its on the root of your SD card and once you load into HBOOT and it can't find a ZIP file, highlight 'Recovery' and press power to select. Once at the black screen with the red ! hold volume up and press power and select 'apply SD:update.zip' and follow the instructions

Do people in Canada have that option? I mean, whenever I goto my CM 6.1 wifi calling app, its a t-mobile one and it wont work. I really dont know much about it except that Fido charges an add-on for using it. Isn't wifi calling supposed to be free? Can someone explain what It really means and how I can take advantage of it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I don't know too much about it, except I presume there must be some sort of support from your carrier on it - e.g. when your phone is trying to make a call via wifi, then somehow the call needs to go from the Internet into your carrier's phone systems.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue1k:
I know Fido doesn't have wifi calling (at least for free).

Why not get skype. I pay 2.99 a month for UNLIMITED wifi (and 3G) calling to landlines and mobiles in North America. I reduced my phone voice plan but bumped my data to take advantage of this. The only crappy thing is we can't get an incoming number because the CRTC blocked this in Canada for obvious reasons.

But you can use it for all your outgoing calls and you can also set the outgoing caller ID as your cell number so people will know it is you when you call.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] vortexmak:
HI Guys,

I am trying to make a list of all the bugs/problems introduced in Galaxy S i9000 after an update to Froyo

Music Player:

1. When you minimize the music player while playing a song and open it via clicking the button on the notification bar, there is no way you can get the Playlist/Artists/Albums list. you have to open the player again from the shortcut.

Phone:

1. Often when you are using speakerphone during a call and end the call the speakerphone icons stays in the notification bar and if you call again, the speaker button remains enabled until you disable it manually.

2. Phone log now shows messages as well and there is no option to show only phone calls, you can select between missed/received/dialled but not all calls only.

Contacts:

1. Some alphabets are missing from the alphabet list, this is not a problem in itself but if you touch the list to scroll through the alphabets you cannot reach the contact names which start with the hidden letters. You have to manually scroll up or down the list.

2. Contacts are not being linked automatically from facebook with phone contacts
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Phone vibrates as if force closing an app but no app is closed.

Gps icon remains on even after switching it off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dubbyarex:
If a song is paused for about 5mins the music player will automatically be killed, thereby losing the position of where the song was, and it's place in a shuffled playlist. Really quite frustrating.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jutezak:
For the call history, select Contacts and then History.

Press menu, and you can select which calls you want to view.

Sadly, the phone does not remember the selection, and it only works in the history that is shown in Contacts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hairsup:
There are WM roms with built-in call auto recording feature that does a great job in call recording. For android, all apps does call recording via speaker phone instead of in call recording. AirVoice is the only app I know that does a perfect call recording within the call and not with speaker phone on. However, HD2 is not supported.

Now, other android devs for other devices are successful in achieving perfect call recording: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806451

I installed CallRecorder from the market. It works adequately for me. The other parties voice is a bit low though (since it doesn't use speaker).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hairsup:
Yes, I understand what you mean. The low volume is due to the recording method. Instead of recording directly from within the phone, it records using the phone's mic for both in and out voices. This makes the volume low for listening the other person's voice and very loud for my own speaking voice.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] allegro16:
Looking for this as well.. Tested ALL Android apps i could find (free, trial, warez), and none have 2 way call recording without using speakerphone.

At the moment this is preventing me to switch to Android fully, because i need those calls logged and recorded..

Speakerphone works, but quality is just not as good, and there is a lot of noise in background. And, doesn't keep the conversation as private as it should..

Hope someone gets it to work..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
It's not an HD2 specific request, Android simply does not support call recording, there's no API. It's a touchy subject because of privacy issues - yes, most other OS'es have it but that doesn't change anything, Google's wary about it.

Until this is changed - or custom bases like CM (they've actually been talking about it very recently) incorporate it, not gonna happen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
I'm sure on MIUI there's "call tools" and from there you can record?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Ah, I wasn't aware. MIUI is a custom base too though, which means that until other bases have this too, a MIUI rom is the only option of having call recording. Can't be done without changing the framework.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Oh well that sucks. MIUI is an amazing ROM/whatever it is. :p

If you don't mind me asking, are there any other custom base ROMs? New and want to try out some cool looking ROMs. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
CM and MIUI are the most-spread custom bases. CM has a lot of 'sidebases', they're basically the same save for a few changes here and there.

DesireHD Sense for example is also another base, but not really custom.
