[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
:rolleyes:

Really? So the curved screen, the change of internal NAND from Samsung's moviNAND to Sandisk's iNAND, the change of GPS & WiFi antenna, the change of Bluetooth chip & the change in positions of USB & 3.5mm port, all that is because Samsung didn't have THOSE particular left over parts?

:rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
Bluetooth is downgraded to 2.1, so yes, I suppose they ran out of 3.0 modules.....curved screen (which i like) and useless NFC chip are the only 2 what you might call improvements....

and i am just curious....how do you know that it has different GPS, WIFI modules, and that it uses different brand storage ? Could you please provide a link to fact.
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
See the FCC page, it shows that the WiFi & GPS antennas are different. As for the internal storage, see the Nexus S announced thread in General, a guy from Google(Svetlana) has confirmed the same.

Here, links. This is what I mean by, Google has a huge amount of say in this phone. That's why its not just a Galaxy S remodeled.

[Nexus S General] Rawat:
They're not using Sandisk's iNand, it's a Samsung product also named iNand. It's the chip that's in teh iPhones.
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:

I can't find a link stating that Samsung also has a product called iNAND.

See the Anandtech review, lower half of the page. Even they say that the internal memory is Sandisk's iNAND. Need more proof? :/
[Nexus S General] alain57:
what is funny, because ext4 (free and available in each linux firmware... just need to say yse compile it) handle that kind of big storage

other fun => the Desire HD had also a big internal memory, but no RFS

conclusion => samsung really don't know what they did ^^

[Nexus S General] TGA_Gunnman:
RFS = Riser File System

a very old file system that in the unix world has been abandoned long ago.

go figure why samsung ever wanted to use it. there are so many others that would do the job better
[Nexus S General] quadratic:
RFS is not ReiserFS. It's Samsung's "Robust FAT File System", which is supposedly optimised for their OneNAND flash memory. In reality, it's just FAT plus journaling.
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
What part of RAW Android does no one understand, I am sure that RFS was the proprietary file system Samsung used on their Galaxy S line, which made it slow. The Nexus S doesn't use this.

why are you talking about rfs when you get a phone by google? do you really think google would f**k up their newest baby with such a ****ty filesystem?
[Nexus S General] Rawat:
looking at the iFixit teardown, and it is the sandisk iNand. :(

In my defence, I had it on good authority that it was a Samsung iNand

Actually, it's a different RFS I believe; Robust FAT System or something like that.

That being said, BTRFS for Nexus Three filesystem anyone? :p
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
I don't know where you got that idea. Google had a hand in pretty much everything about the phone. Even the phone design was tweaked to Google's tastes.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
So, can we blame Google for the Nexus S browser lag?

Samsung made a fix on 2.2.1, if you have Galaxy S, you should know about it.

But not on Nexus S.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YawTakyi:
Dear All, I have a froyo 2.2.1 v3 android installed on my HD2 and works fine apart from when I try to transfer a file i.e. contacts or a photo from my samsung tocco phone, it doesn't work. Infact when I send a file, all I hear is a particular song by Michael Jackson playing which freaks me out a bit... lol

The song will play automatically until it comes to an end without transferring the file.

When a file is sent from my HD2 to my samsung, it wors fine.

May I know if anybody is experiencing same weird incident on their phone or please tell me how to go about with the settings.

Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XjCrazy09:
So as i continue using my Captivate there are little glitchy things i have been noticing. For example several times now in the past week or two i will have picked up my phone and hit the unlock button but nothing happens. Fair enough maybe its doing something else and has lagged for a second on the lock screen. Well i try hitting the unlock button again and it start its boot up process. I don't know if its a particular program or if its the o/s that is turning it off as a battery saving state. Maybe an app that is causing a forced Power off? Anyone have an idea to fix or locate the problem?

[Desire HD General] 00_Angelos_00:
Hello,

I just got myself a new Desire HD from eBay to replace my HD2. Unfortunatly when I got it it was branded to t-mobile even though auction said it was new, sealde and unlocked.

I have managed to permroot it. What do I need to do now? I tried to run the HTC latest firmwas for this device and comes up with error131 wrong customer ID.

My knoledge is very basic about this so any help would be grateful.

Thanks

Robert
[Desire HD General] Andy:
If the phone wasn't as described then return it. Was it sealed in its box?

Can you make & receive calls?

If your trying to flash a Stock HTC ROM over a T-Mobile branded/locked DHD you will get an error.
[Desire HD General] 00_Angelos_00:
Hi thanks for reply.

Yeah the phone did not say in auction that it wasbranded just unlocked and sealed. When I got it I could see that it had been opened as the tape that was used to seal the box wasn't sticky anymore and it had been inserted the wrong way round. It has obviously been opened to unlock it.

As the phone is unlocked I thought I thought I would be able to flash any stock rom onto it that is avaliable. I really don't want t-mobile logos on startup and there apps when I have a vodaphone sim.

Thanks again.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
If you want a generic HTC ROM you will need to root & S-OFF your DHD. Guides are available in the Dev section.

If you need any help just let us know. There are quite a few friendly people round here.
[Desire HD General] 00_Angelos_00:
Hay thanks for the reply !! :)

I managed to do the permroot thing. I was reading up on anything I had to do else. Which guide would you recomend to do the S-Off? Can I just run the HTC.exe rom then to install it?

I was also reading up on something called supercid do I need to do this as well?

Thanks so much!! It saves me loads of hassle trying to return it. That and am phoneless without it at the moment lol

Robert
[Desire HD General] 00_Angelos_00:
Hello

Would just like to say thanks I managed to get the stock HTC rom on the DHD thanks too the help on here.

Was just curious do I need to reactivate the S-OFF to go back to S-On i presume? If I did that would I still be able to install new stock roms when they come out now there is a stock rom on phone?

Thanks so much again. This phone is great Android is so much better supported that Windows Mobile! :D

Robert
[Desire HD General] Andy:
No problem at all.

If you flashed the Stock HTC ROM from the RUU, then it will have Security On (S-ON) If you want to flash a custom ROM, then you will need to go through the whole procedure again, but flash a custom recovery (Clockwork Mod), to make the the whole process safer and easier.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Thibor69:
I am getting very frustrated with the NC and Wallpapers. No matter what I try I can not get photos to display correctly on the home screen. I have tried many different options and no matter what I try the only thing that works is when I reset the device to factory defaults and not root it. I have tried Zeam and I have tried Launcher Pro ... I have tried everything that people have sugested to try and still the result is a zoomed in picture that is formated incorectly on my home screen.

Is there any solution to this ?? I have tried setting the wallpeper in both portrait and landscape mode and get the same result. I have also tried Wallpaper set and save to no avail. I can't believe this is happening to everyone and there is no solution for it.

Please help !!

My NC is currently Fully rooted with full adm and shell support. I can install apk's just fine and widgets. I have Zeam and Launcher Pro installed. This all started when I installed a laucher, so I know it is a problem with launchers but you need a launcher on the NC to do anything good :O )

THanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jasoraso:
Not the simplest way, but I have found that if I convert the image I want for a wallpaper to .png and put it in the "my files/pictures" directory, it lets you set the image as a "wallpaper" like the other default wallpapers. you will want to resize the image - maybe 1280x1024. Some of the other default wallpapers have an image size of 840x1024.

The nook appears to NOT resize / zoom in on the .png files the way it does on .jpgs.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Thibor69:
Mmmm no go for me. I tried this right now and they are still zoomed way in and the picture is cut off on the top and bottom.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] monsterpt:
Just apply your wallpapers to the nook home screen in landscape position. Sometimes you have to disc@ard the first pic then it gives you a landscape version. This will apply the wp across the other launchers as well. It does with zeam anyway.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] clockcycle:
nvm didnt work, looks like it has something to do with the original size of the wallpaper you are looking to apply.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] giantsfan:
For some reason, the conventional set wallpaper option is buggy. I uninstalled Launcher Pro as this seemed to create more issues, and now use Zeam.

Here is the method I have found to work:

Open up gallery to view your wallpapers/pictures

Select a picture/wallpaper

Turn the Nook to landscape and tap the picture until wallpaper options appear on the bottom. Select the wallpaper icon

Touch and drag a corner to expand the rectangle to the entire frame

Turn the nook to verticle position (normal)

Save

Discard (picture may show again)

Exit out to your home. It should look normal.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mtmyers:
I've been using the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper app. It's a little buggy (at least for me), but it will use a full picture as a wallpaper.

You'll need to have Live Wallpapers enabled to use it.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pezhore:
Holy crap... this actually worked. Thanks a ton - now my wallpaper isn't all zoomy and pixelated.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] giantsfan:
You're welcome. The key here is when you drag the corner to select the part of the picture. If you can't select the entire frame, it thinks you are cropping, and blows everything up. This is the only way I found where you can select the entire frame.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pstein2:
Can any one tell me what the best resolution is for downloading nook wallpapers so that they don't look back across 3 screens?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] giantsfan:
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but in most launchers, there is an option to scroll (or not) the wallpaper. De-select that option and the wallpaper won't move when you scroll across screens. For instance, in Zeam, it is under preferences>workspace>scroll wallpaper

For ADW (and possible any other launcher with multiple screens) i find that using a 1200x1024 png image placed in the my files\wallpaper directory then applied using the Nook default selector and using the image from the "Wallpaper" tab and not the "Photo Gallery" tab works best.

There is no stretching or pixelation, and the image fills all five screens of ADW.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] attackpilot:
Respect to all you out there who know what you're doing (I sure don't), but the "fixes" in this particular thread seem to be band-aids to the actual problem. I'm computer savvy enough to believe that launcher pro did something to the coding as far as screen size. I've noticed that when I use the B&N Home launcher, the screen scrolls further left and right than it did previously (before installing launcher pro). Also, when using stock backgrounds, there are black bars on both sides of the home screen (left when scrolled left, and right when scrolled right).

Does anyone know how this can be actually fixed, without doing the "set wallpaper in landscape mode?" There's got to be some way to return the screen resolution/size back to the way it was before launcher pro changed whatever it changed.

I suppose factory reset/re-root is one option, but I was hoping there might be another way.

Every single other wallpaper in that folder will pop up on the screen with the orange box...but not my personal picture.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dawynkoop:
What size are you cropping your pictures to?

Also make sure that you are using the barnes and noble selector to apply the backgrounds "Settings>Home>Set Wallpaper" and select the Wallpaper from the "Wallpaper tab and not the photo galery tab.

Long press on the original nook homepage (the one with the books), not on the installed launcher homepage. You may have to reset defaults in the launcher app to be able to see get at the nook homescreen. At one point, when you pressed the 'n', it asked what you want to do, select 'home'. You should not be seeing any orange boxes for cropping. It will never ask you to crop the picture on the nook. You should not be putting the nook in landscape mode.
