I updated my phone to the 2.2 unbranded ROM and without thinking I did not copy down the APN settings first. I was able to find the settings to connect to the 3G network on Virgins website but I can not find the Canadian MMS settings anywhere. Does anyone have a stock rom or the MMS settings? They would be greatly appreciated!

My power button has completely broke, so now I am unable to lock and unlock the screen. I am using a workaround right now, but will need to get the phone replaced. Only problem is that the phone is rooted and s-off using unrevoked. I need to unroot and turn s-on by a method that does not require pressing of the power button. Any ideas?

Note: The power button is permanently depressed (a tech said there was no fixing it) so if I remove the battery and put it back in the phone will power on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmart4:
theres an app called No Lock which allows u to unlock the screen with any button, ie the volume rockers. that might help u make it more usable
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Go get it replaced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mfeigley:
I am using no lock as the workaround. I can't get it replaced until it is unrooted. It would help if someone developed a one click unroot method for this type of situation (I will donate).

If you dont mind me saying so.... I dont quite know how to UNroot a phonenever had to, BUT ive had to get my phone into recovery without having the new Menu options in the rom, I simply just remove the battery and Hold the Volume down toggle...

Can't u just run an ruu from your PC???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Run the ruu from your computer. It will bring your phone back to stock. Just make sure you get the correct Ruu. You want the Ruu that matches the rom version your phone came with.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mfeigley:
it's set to s-off so ruu fails. I need to flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip but I can't use recovery without the power button.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
I ran a ruu with s-off and it worked. S was still off after but sprint didn't notice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preludedrew:
s-off doesnt matter when flashing an RUU... I unrooted mine from work with just HTC Sync installed and the latest RUU...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mfeigley:
I'm attempting another RUU version. I hope it works, and Sprint doesn't notice the s-off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mfeigley:
So I'm back to stock 2.1. Still shows s-off. Anyone think Sprint will mind/notice?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugzo:
probably not. go ahead and update to 2.2 though. I returned 2 with s-off and didnt hear anything about it. Anyway rooting it cant cause the button to break so they should replace it regardless. If you have a problem, be polite and ask for a manager. Dont show your ass though, that rarely helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
They didn't notice on mines. But I did mail it in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mfeigley:
I've been polite with the guy, he knew it was rooted and offered to look at it to try and fix it. When he couldn't fix it, he said to get it back to stock and then it would be under warranty. I just went in and he ordered me a new phone, which will be in on Monday. I guess they can't do much after the exchange anyways.

Hi,

I partitioned my sd card by this software - MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

to 2 partitions: EXT3 -1GB and FAT32 - 7GB.

(SD card of 8 GB)

now, my HTC Desire doesnt upload and stuck on the screen of my rom.

i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.

i cant format the sd card by the recovery and i cant upload files on it by the computer.

i can use ADB when the phone plug in to the computer.

HELP!!

What can i do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fllash:
Did your desire work before you partitioned your SD Card?

I would suggest reformatting the card into the partitions you mentioned above, and copy a ROM to the FAT32 partition. Then, reflash a rom (with the SD Card inserted, obviously).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeenK:
Hi,

I would like to understand better what is what with respect to my phone. FYI, purchased with Optus (Australia), using Three (AU again of course), rooted before with one click root for Titanium, then got upgrade to 2.2 Froyo through Kies (great now Skype works, if wifi doesnt drop). Then rooted again with z4root. I now got it on 2.2 for about 3 days and trying to get the most out of the phone. Below info on my phone and I would like more explanation on what is what.

Baseband version I9000DTJP3

(what does baseband do, why ends with JP3?)

Kernel version 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S604 #7

(what does "kernel" do?)

Build number FROYO.DTJP5

(why now JP5?)

PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4

(why JP3,4 and 5?)

Is it OK to have JP3, 4, and 5... or did something go wrong during my upgrade and should it all be JP5?

Internal 2.01 GB

DB data 133 MB

SD card 14.4 GB

Ext SD card 15.9 GB

So mine is a 16GB model right?

On "My Samsung" Australia website I can choose between:

GT-I9000

GT-I9000/M16

GT-I9000/RM16

GT-I9000T

GT-I9000T/M8

GT-I9000/M8

Which one is mine? What does the M, RM, and T stand for?

Any suggestions on getting the most out of my phone? (wifi fix my post 1, post 2, lag fix, how to create my own boot animation?, how to call record?, other possible issues/solutions)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:

when one creates a new contact, it automatically links to two profiles by default - phone contacts and google

Is it possible to create a new contact and link it to Outlook rather so that it shows up in my corporate email address book too?

My sync for corporate email is turned on and when I create a new contact in outlook, it shows up on my phone but the reverse does not work

[Fascinate General] vegittoss15:
Is there an app or a hacked email apk that lets you bypass the Exchange security (PIN code required) that my work server has set up on it? I ask because I'd like to answer emails for them, but don't want the annoyance of the PIN every five minutes (I'd rather use the pattern unlock).
[Fascinate General] Gurm:
I'd guess NO, because that's an Activesync security feature? But maybe someone wrote a version that caches it, although it's likely more complicated than you think, requiring certs and back-and-forth from phone to server.
[Fascinate General] ginuwinqbin:
Just use TouchDown. It's not cheap (19.95), but its worth it IMO to be able bypass the pin annoyance. You can try the free version for 30 days.

I read the ps2 gets up to 66milliion triangles/sec while the galaxy s is 90

So this must mean it could play them smoother than ps2??

We just need an emulator?
[Vibrant General] dezvous:
I have no idea if that's true or not, but the reality is even if the GPU is more powerful that doesn't mean that the Galaxy S could play PS2 games well at all. The PS2 has a very specific dedicated graphics chip and processor. You'd have to emulate that hardware which takes up even more processing power. It's apples to oranges.

You could probably find a way to make it happen but I'm sure it wouldn't be easy and it wouldn't be flawless. Unless Sony released something on the Android PS Phone. That's about the only way I could see anything happening.
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
quick answer no.

long answer, emulation requires a cpu that is 10x as fast as the console thats being emulated.
[Vibrant General] Sciurus:
Unfortunately the phone doesn't just have to run the game, it has to pretend to be a ps2 running the game, which is much more difficult. A modern desktop has trouble emulating ps2 games, so even the best phone doesn't stand a chance.

I have dk28 quantum 2.0 rom installed with launcher plus and 7 home screens. I've aded 130 apps total to my epic 4g and have moved 70 percent of my apps to my sd card. I'm. Also using widget locker for a custom lock screen. Could someone assist me in figuring out why my froyo epic 4g is running slower than my wifes stock 2.1 epic 4g? What can I do to make my phone faster. Specifically my phone stalls on switching home screens, opening up the web browser for searching(using skyfire browser), opening google maps, and doing other various task. Any assistance or recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ps. I've removed my task killer which made it a little faster but stll tings slow down.

You have 130 apps installed. 130! Thats like packing 20 people in a Geo Metro.

It's climbing Mt. Everest in your boxers.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Well, you installed a leaked BETA rom first of all. Second, you have 130 apps installed. Third, you have 7 homescreens probably filled with all sorts of nonsense. Fourth, you have widgetlocker running all the time, with probably a bunch more nonsense on the lock screen.

Why do YOU think your phone is lagging?
[Epic 4G General] juanaraya92679:
It was my undersanding that dk28 is the offiial froyo for the epic 4g but was only released to devices with hardware versions .004 and not .005 ota. And are you saying any beta release is going to be slower than stock? 1 home screen has lp calendar with email shortcut to work and gmail. 2nd screen has facebook lp widget(1 hr update interval) 3rd screen has twitter lp widget with 1 hr update interval. 4th screen is digital clock, weather widget 1 hour update interval,photo frame deluxe(1hour interval to changepictures)... 5th screen is folders organizing 120 games and the rest of my apps. 6th screen is power control widgets. 7th screen only has sacker player widget. Lock screen has digital time, battery percent, missed calls and missed text wdget with a weather forecast widget. What should I remove to make the phone faster? Or would it be better to just run an overclock kernel? :)
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Think of each widget you have running as an application that is running in the background, since they all take up memory and most run services. You basically have 10 applications constantly running in the background. Widgetlocker has to be destroying your system with how many widgets you are running on it. Ever check the memory usage of these widgets and applications? You an overclock your phone if you want, except I don't think you can do that yet on the beta froyo, but I cannot see you getting even acceptable battery life running all of that already, and overclocking isn't going to help.

The Froyo you installed is not the official froyo. It is a beta leak.
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
That's stretching it really REALLY far. Is it officially released? No. Is it beta software? That's not true either buddy. And it isn't a "leak" either. DK17 was a leak. DK28 was plain as day on Google's own servers. It was intended to be pushed to all phones after all. So stop harping on people for running it. It is far from a "beta leak". Just let it go man.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Actually; you're wrong.. it IS a beta. It was pushed to test phones only. TEST phones.. catch the hint? Testing means not complete. And there are bugs that shouldn't come with the final in this release.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
You have no idea what you are talking about. Until it is pushed to phones and you don't have to ODIN it on, its a leak. Also, if this is final froyo, which sprint has publicly denied, then samsung and sprint are finished as companies, because its buggy as ****. This is a beta leak of froyo. Some have speculated that it may be a release candidate, but that would still make it a beta, just a final version of the beta.
[Epic 4G General] Nunchucker:
I'm pretty sure this is a troll thread. Someone successfully rooted their phone, installed obviously unofficial custom firmware, and they still have no idea what a widget does? I call BS.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Believe me, when I first read it that is instantly what I thought too.
[Epic 4G General] juanaraya92679:
Thanks for the info this really helps, i will take a look at the memory widget locker is consuming. I'm ordering a extended battery so i'm not too worried on battery life plus i'm used to charging my phone whenever i'm not using it. :) I used to have a palm pre and that thing died instantly. I just might overclock it when I get my extra battery, I like all my widgets :) I use most of them too.I thought android was supposed to be awesome at multi-tasking hehe. Might have to go back to palm when they release a 4 inch touch display phone. WebOS rocks. :) especially when I overclocked my palm pre. Man that thing flew.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Android is awesome at multitasking. The fact that its even usable when you have 15 or so widgets running constantly in the background is evidence of this. Until we get dual core phones with at minimum 1gb of RAM, widget use has to be tempered to maintain complete fluidity of the UI.
[Epic 4G General] juanaraya92679:
I'm new to the android scene I only owned a samsung moment for 2 months prior to my epic 4g and before a palm pre so I haven't had time to completely read up on how the Android OS proccesses applications. I get have been able to understand how to root devices mainly so I can customize the look of my phone and rooting/applying roms or kernels seems basic so far. I didn't think I had to know how widgets work in order to root my phone? If you think I should then I will better educate my self on the OS. I appreciate your feedback. I mainly like to use widgets as shortcuts to apps I use a lot but from what you guys are saying I will definitly start to read up for on how everything works in android.

I will keep this in mind and start removing some of the widgets. Thanks again for the response, XDA community rocks.

I've searched for this and no luck... I'm using Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4 and trying to reinstall some of the removed .apks that are in the optional folder, and others that I have moved myself using Root Explorer. Some of them I could just click and they would install via the app installer with no problem. However, I'm getting an "application not installed" message for some.

I've tried installing from the folder (with success for some apk's) and also tried moving the files back to the original location system/app and installing from there. (I've also had this work in one instance). In addition, I've tried rebooting and wipes of dalvik in between attempts.

An example: I moved HTCTwitter to the sd card and the app (Peep) was gone as expected. Next I tried reinstalling to test whether or not it would work and got the dreaded "app not installed" message. After that I tried just moving file back to the original location using root explorer and a restart. The file moved to the correct location, but no sign of the app. I tried installing from within system/app and same "app not installed".

This is not isolated to this ROM for me. Had same issue with AVA Froyo. Any help would be appreciated.
