Hi, I was wondering if anyone know of any upcoming highend android devices with a builtin xenon flash? I am so sick of the lousy pictures you get with a LED flash, and the only xenon device I could find, is Motorola XT720, but compared to my current Nexus One, that seems like a downgrade.

Moto Milestone is almost good for me except it has only measly 256mb ram. We gotta wait for update of this model @_@
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chubb16:
Hello.

I have a black G1 that has been rooted, danger spl, latest radio, i followed everything from this forum. I currently have Super D 1.11 running on the phone. I decided that i wanted to run apps2sd and a swap partition so i went to micro-center and purchased a class 6 sd card. When I go and try and partition the card in the amon recovery 1.7 i keep getting this error.

Error: Input/output error during write on /dev/block/mmcblk0

Retry/Ignore/Cancel?

First I thought that the card was bad so i went back to micro-center and exchanged it for another one.

Still the same problem.

This only happens with this card, the class 2 cards i have work fine no problems at all.. What is going on here? Did anyone else have this problem? What can I do to fix it?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
when reading/writing files from your sd card while booted normally, does android give you errors? If not then I would assume its an issue with amon, try clockworkmod recovery and see if that works. If not then you can partition it with your computer, but you would need a linux live cd at the very least to format an ext partition.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzjwarner:
Hi guys,

So basically I got a bit over-excited and flashed a new ROM without disabling lag fixes... now whenever I flash a ROM or want to disable lag fixes, the phone just doesn't start up unless I put it into jfs (the fix I was using when I messed up) basically I can't boot the phone with rfs anymore.....

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it easily fixed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shranav:
this is wrong forum to post

by the way what does this means "Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App " if ur phone is bricked than how can u send it from SGS ? u got another one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzjwarner:
I can boot but only if I reapply lag fixes, can't boot without a lag fix enabled.... sorry if I wasn't clear
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shranav:
well to be true, i never disable lagfix before installing any new firmware to my phone. let me tell u what i do --

1) First flash I9000XWJM8 ( eclair rom) with RE-Partition and 512.pit

2) format sd card

3) flash new froyo rom ( whichever i want to )

4) Flash Kernel whichever i want to.

thats it. thats how i do it and it always work for me. Dont know if its the right thing or not but i always do it this way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzjwarner:
Hmmmm, OK thanks, I'll give it a go!

Hummingbird Chipset

My guess would be that the Samsung Hummingbird chipset only supports 7.2 Mbps. Same as with the GSM Galaxy S series handsets.
[Nexus S General] neok44:
many reasons why it may not be there. but you still get up to 7.2Mbps down which is very good.
[Nexus S General] th0r615:
Whoa your totally the 1st person to notice this and post about it......
[Nexus S General] CaliLove310:
To me, it doesn't matter. I live in a HSPA+ area and have never even come close to getting 7.2Mbps on a G2. Let alone HSPA+ speeds.
[Nexus S General] PhoenixFx:
How many networks actually support those speeds anyways ?? I mean in reality not on paper. Besides, 7Mbps is enough for all mobile needs, a youtube 720p HD video averages around 2Mbps which is the highest bandwidth consuming task I can think of. Unless you are planning to tether it to a laptop and download huge files, which IMO is not a requirement for many users, since mobile data is pretty expensive.
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
lol ;) Anyways whats the big deal. 99% person of the world is not on 4G yet :P

I know we wanted everything from this phone but its not to be :(
[Nexus S General] EleCtrOx666:
I don't care since in my country we don't even have 4G so that would be completely useless.

But I understand entirely you're complaining about it, they're expected to make progress not regression(but that's technology, constructers choose what we will get...).
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
It's true "4G" isn't prominent right now. I'm guessing the disappointment comes when you try to see Nexus S as a phone into 2011, and beyond. Dropping $529 dollars for a phone that won't be taking advantage of "4G" speeds which all carriers are moving toward and pushing for, and which handsets are already featuring, doesn't seem future-proof, and maybe even a step back. It doesn't live up to the Nexus branding.
[Nexus S General] sauron0101:
Agreed. I've decided to stay with my Samsung Epic (which has a bad ESN that I bought for $300 and I am using as an Android touch), and wait it out. When phones that come out that are compare to the Galaxy S as how the Nexus One overshadowed the Hero, I'll probably upgrade. Not then ... it's not worth selling my current phone.

[Streak 5 General] jeremydallas:
I recently got the OTA update for 2.2 for my Dell Streak and I then proceeded to run the "Stock Froyo 2.2 Performance Fix" which provided a fantastic speed boost.

This morning while at the airport I noticed a post on Streak Smart about an update that was available to change the clock icon to a numerical number with a circular fill instead of just the standard battery icon. My Streak rebooted and just stayed stuck on the Dell logo, so I tried applying and rebooting a few more times but it never got past this. I then tried to do a factory reset, which did nothing, so I went into Clockwork and tried a Wipe / Reset, which also did nothing (still booting to the Dell logo and it sticks there forever).

Any thoughts on how to bring my dear Streak back to life?
[Streak 5 General] jeremydallas:
Fixed

I was able to fix this myself by using the instructions on StreakSmart.com to get DJ Steve's 1.4.6 on my device using FastBoot.

Since I am a new user on XDA I can't post outside URL's, but if you go to StreakSmart.com and move to the 2nd page you should find the post regarding manually upgrading to DJ Steve's 1.4.6.

Here are the instructions from StreakSmart.com (note: the instructions on StreakSmart.com are hyperlinked, making them much easier to follow):

1. Download this fastboot file to your computer's desktop. Don't do anything with it; just leave it on your desktop. If you feel more comfortable getting the file from the SDK, you can download the whole kit.

2. Download this .zip provided by DJ_Steve. Extract the folder and put the contents (amss.mbn, boot.img, system.img) on your computer's desktop.

3. Turn off your Dell Streak.

4. Hold down the power button. When the buttons light up on the side, press and hold down the camera button. Keep holding down both buttons until you see a white screen.

5. Press the "FastBoot" button in the top right corner. You will see "Wait for USB FastBoot detect" on the Streak's screen.

6. Wait a few seconds (I usually count to 10, though this may not be necessary) and then plug the Streak into your Windows computer. "Fastboot_Mode" will be displayed in the lower left corner of your Streak's screen.

7. On your Windows computer, open the Command Prompt program. If you don't know where it is (it's preloaded), search for it in the Start Menu's search bar.

8. You should see C:\Users\Your Name (or whatever your computer is called). All the files you need are on your desktop, so type cd desktop and press enter. You should now see C:\Users\Your Name\Desktop.

9. Now type fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn and press enter. Wait until you see "finished" and the active line in Command Prompt is C:\Users\Your Name\Desktop again.

10. Next type fastboot -i 0x413c flash boot boot.img and press enter. Wait until you see "finished" and the active line is once again C:\User\Your Name\Desktop.

11. Finally, type fastboot -i 0x413c flash system system.img and press enter. Wait until you see "finished" (it may take a few minutes this time) and the active line is C:\User\Your Name\Desktop.

12. Disconnect the Streak from your computer and remove the battery.

13. Reinsert the battery and power on the Streak normally. It will take several minutes to boot (mine took about 3 minutes).

14. Run through the start-up wizard and enjoy the official Android 2.2 build on your Dell Streak. Use z4root from Android Market or SuperOneClick to root the new build.

I Have been a long time user of wm and recently palm and android, I just got to the point where I wanted a straightforward uncontested smartphone that gives me the info I need on the move, wp7 meets my needs perfectly
[Windows Phone 7 General] deeken:
I would consider trying out WP7 (even with all its deficiencies) but the ones being offered by AT&T are garbage. Just look at HTC Surround. Was this phone a inside joke by HTC? Slap on a some cheap, useless and bulky speakers on a phone and see how many people would rush to buy one just because it is different. Amazing how a bunch of designers came together and agreed on this model as one of their flagships.

The one phone that does interest me is the 7 Pro. But there is no word on when it will be out on US soil, it has only 8gb internal memory, and by the time the phone does come out it will be too little too late. Looks like I will be on my Tilt 2 for a while.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
I was on Symbian, then wm6.5 then Symbian then WP7 with my HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
Coming from my Tilt2, which I loved dearly, but spent way too much time trying to tweak. The effortless speed of WP7 is a breath of fresh air.
[Windows Phone 7 General] action_efn_jackson:
I voted as an average user because technically this is my first smart phone w/ any type of data plan. I spent @ 10 hours playing with phones and reading forums before picking WP7. Didn't want iOS simply becuase I didn't want what masses already have. Considered Android because of all you can do to it and enjoyned playing with my wifes Aria. However every time I went to ATT I gravitated to the WP7 devices. I really liked the fresh new UE and the HTC Surround. I just like how it felt in my hands over the Focus and personally I think the speakers are neat and rock when compaired to any other "noise" you get from any other device. 100% pleased with my choice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Average users dont visit xda and most of the other categories listed dont like WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] action_efn_jackson:
Maybe so. But like I said this is my first smart phone and although I have been too xda before I never really read much of the content on the page or forums. What should I have selected then?
[Windows Phone 7 General] wspaw:
Focus is superb

My Focus is FAR superior to my HTC phones that I owned and loved. Didn't think I could do without a hardware keyboard, as I can't type on my wife's iPhone (after hours of trying). I still make a lot of mistakes, but, this phone corrects my typos accurately 99% of the time.

I don't miss the lag and drag of my Tilt2, which I overclocked to 748 mHz. Hopefully this phone won't fall apart like my HTCs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JoePR31:
I've been an Android user since the very beginning. I preordered a G1...and still own it, a MyTouch 3G, and a Vibrant. I was also impressed enough by the HD2 hardware to give WM a shot. Stock WM on the TMOUS HD2 was a mess...but that was nothing that a nice custom rom wasn't able to fix. I still enjoy using my HD2 on occasion. I also own an iTouch...which, of course, runs iOS (beautiful hardware, but mine is best at collecting dust). And, although it's a bit of an afterthought now, I also owned three Blackberries.

I really like Android. Nothing can touch it when it comes to customization. But, the inherent stuttering and occasional lag does get old...even though it's gotten much better in both departments and is now fairly smooth on most new phones. It's also not the prettiest thing in the world, in my opinion (I also think iOS is hidious looking...although nothing is smoother, but WP7 is nipping on its heels in that department).

I've owned my HD7 for nearly a week. I bought it with the full intention of returning it prior to the end of my 14 grace period...unless it totally blew my mind. Well, consider my mind blown. I now believe that it's a keeper. Keeping in mind that WP7 is currently just at v1.0, I believe that MS has done a better job than both Apple and Google. Yes, there are a few features missing....but there's good reason for that...and the upcoming update is very likely to address those deficiencies.

For v1.0, MS focused on the UI, and it shows. My HD7 is incredibly smooth and blazing fast. The UI is intuitive, efficient, beautiful, and fun. The few issues with it are also things that were lacking in both iOS and Android initially...and it took both Apple and Google substantually longer to address them than what it's taken MS. Many people are saying that these things should've been included from the get go. I say that MS has created a masterpiece, and that...as long as the missing features are addressed in a timely manner....whatever they had to do to get the rest right was ok in my book.

MS was down...and all the haters thought that they were out. I never felt that way, but I was skeptical that they were going to be able to deliver something that would truly rival the offerings from Google and Apple. I was wrong....and so were/are all the haters.

I am as unbiased as it gets. I own devices that run all 4 major mobile OS'...and know their strengths, and weaknesses, inside out. I now consider WP7 to be my favorite. MS has laid a foundation that surpasses the foundations that both Google and Apple initially laid. Things are only going to get better from here on out...and I'm excited to see how far MS can take this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
Does this refer to what platform I was JUST on before making the jump to WP7? Because I have owned iPhone, Android, AND Symbian based phones as my past Smartphones. Also, how come Symbian or BlackBerry is not included in the poll? That is a glaring omission....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
Also missing is Blackberry.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I came from android but I ticked other as I think that would be the main target for MS most android users love its openness iPhone users are to loyal even though ots hardly changed and old MS users want the buseness features more than the play. As I said I came from android but I always planned to change before I bought my desire so I don't think it counts.

Hello all,

Im running ChuckyRom on my HD2 with the 2.14 radio i think.

I noticed the other day that my contacts pictures weren't updating as they do on facebook. The i tried the Fb tab and that won't update either. I cant look at my contacts photo albums straight from the contact list, it doesnt list anything at all!

I can use the app fine but the integration doesnt seem to be working anymore

I tried authentication on the fb tab but it just keeps saying "authentication failed" EDIT: says "authorization failed"

any suggestions appreciated,

cheers

hi,

I have the same problem. My facebook links just suddenly stopped working, although i m running on the original rom. when contacted HTC support centre, they simply suggest to hard reset... I posted the same question in fb- htc hd2 fan site, no body seems to know why..
[HD2 General] smeddy:
MS removed support for Bing for WM 6.5 users outside Europe today... Maybe something happened to Facebook as well...

(pointless rant:)) If this is the case, MS are really shafting us by dis-allowing a WP7 upgrade. All they are doing is shunting us over to Android, and personally, I'm glad this happened to me, as I - a big Windows Mobile supporter - am now in LOVE with, effectively, their biggest competitor.
[HD2 General] DaveCNewton:
Well it's re-assuring to know its not the phone i guess.

I can see MS having to shift their priorities to the new WM7. MS always seem to focus on whats making money, rather than customer satisfaction...

Has anyone contacted Microsoft about the problem? i think i've seen a few more threads about Facebook on here, perhaps i'll have a look through them see what's going on

Sorry, but I don't think Darktremor Apps2SD script could do the job.

Since there is difference between Apps2SD and Data2Ext:

Apps2SD moves

/data/app, /data/app-private and /data/dalvik-cache to EXT

And with some commands /data/data could also be moved to EXT

But Data2Ext moves

/data/app to EXT4

/data/data to a virtual EXT2 device on EXT4, which is the trick to improve IO efficiency working at peak level...

SO I don't know if there is a answer fort this in Q&A...
