[Captivate General] sixk:
ah... is that the announced name honeycomb???

I didnt look it up haha >_<

anyways technology is changing so fast they cant keep one item for more than 2 years now without it being obselete now.

We have a SGS captivate because we wanted the best...

but for how long?

I am pretty sure by next summer its going to be mid range by than.

So like half the people with a captivate will get the "newest bestest" phone by then because thats what we want. the best tech for that time... well those with money atleast haha

so my point is why waste time on a mid range phone when they can concentrate on a better phone by the time they can put gingerbread into SGS variations.

Also with all the carriers being stingy with froyo... =/

I can only see 1 FW update for new phones lately unless its Dev phones.

Reason why iphone are good is because they can update their fw because all their phones are similar and is on one carrier till they go verizon.

This is just my opinion though

only thing we can do is just wait and see. ^^

have a good day and really I do hope for Gingy for our phones.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Because if you don't treat current customers well it makes it harder to get new customers.
[Captivate General] sixk:
if most customers are like me i had the i8910 hd and changed to captivate to see if they might have better support which is a whole lot better than the i8910.

but really... with tech moving so fast support will only last 2 years the most imho

look at nokia and sony...

they are like that also ^^ not only with phones but with other things.

but everyone has their opinion and story

I guess this is getting more and more off topic

im sorry haha
[Captivate General] derek4484:
File this under, I'll believe it when I see it.

Samjunk still hasnt released Froyo for the Captivate yet and people are worried about Gingerbread?
[Captivate General] icepop:
Is it Samsung that hasn't release Froyo or the carriers who haven't released it?
[Captivate General] skippyg:
Blame att not Samsung.
[Captivate General] eatonjb:
Ok.. is SG going to give us Gingerbread.. They say they will, but by then we are going to be PAST Honeycomb, they are slow, lazy and do not care. Honestly, they rather sell a new phone with the new OS then just do a free update.

lets be honest, they will give it to us, but by then it will be too late

NOW, lets think about this tho. the Nexus S is a Galaxy S with a twist right. So lets wait till some of the Chefs in the Rom dept give us a ROM unlike anything in efficency that SG will give us.

I mean, do you think the update to Froyo is going to be as good as the stuff that is out already? heck we even have some stable OV-UV HSPA roms out there, stable and all.

I'v had HTC, Samsung, and millions of other phones, i never rely on the manufacture. Heck even the iPhone had such better stuff when it was jailbroken.

just say'n. the newest from the manufactures, will be nothing but just obsolete crap.
[Captivate General] BadTrip6669:
but I love source code!!!
[General Questions and Answers] jconway1968:
I've looked at applications to delete. The largest file is "Application Updates" I assume this is the content that has been downloaded and then installed as updates for programs, etc... So, is it safe to hit the "clear data" button and recoup that space?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I've been talking to svetius, the admin responsible for "User Experience" at XDA, and apparently the Desire Z and G2 forums are going to be merged very soon now.

So this is just a heads-up for everyone to expect this.

I think it's going to be a very very good thing, because after all the DZ and G2 are essentially the same phones and run the same custom ROMs, so it will be good to have everything in one place. I think it will also encourage people who develop things to check how they work on both the DZ and G2.

I've no idea how existing threads are going to be handled, but I'm sure the mods have it all in hand.

So soon, remember that we're going to be sharing an audience with G2 users, who of course have their own stock ROM, which don't have HTC Sense in. So when we post up about a basic problem with out phones, it's going to make it even more important to say which phone/ROM you have !

:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Which is why it will be chaos.

New people, or complete fools will forget to, or not bother to write wether it is a Z or G2.

I think only the development forums should be merged.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
That's no different for lots of other phones which have different ROMs in different areas though. We already have the issue within the DZ forum where people have Asian ROMs of various types, Bell ROMs, European ROMs etc. But we get along ok with that don't we ?

With my previous Touch Pro 2, we had one forum even though AT&T phones had a different ROM and keyboard layout (and a different name for the phone, i.e. Tilt 2, and that worked fine - e.g. all could run the same custom ROMs, just like the G2 and DZ can run the same custom ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Just my opinion bro. Merge and there will be teething problems with giving help (G2 vs Z, Sense vs Stock, Bell vs Asia vs Europe. I know Bell will lose that fight against the continents though ;))

It will be tidier, and eventually cleaner, but I cba getting used to a new forum :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I agree with steviewevie. I'm also a refugee from the Touch Pro 2 forum. Including different carriers, versions, regions into the discussion is fine, as long as people remember to mention which version they have (have to be "gently" reminded from time to time), and there are enough people from your particular community that can give you help.

I'm pretty new to the DZ forum, and already I find myself having to search around on both forums to make sure I haven't missed a solution that the G2 owners have come up with. There is no significant difference between the G2 and the DZ, and it doesn't make sense for them to have separate forums.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Further to this, if you've caught up with postings over on the DZ side here, then why not hop over to the G2 forums if you haven't done so already, and see what they're discussing ?

You'll see it's pretty similar to over here, though sometimes they might come up with a problem before us DZ folks do, and vice versa.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
woo about time, no more reading the same thread on 2 forums :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] blunted09:
about time! There is not enough difference in between the phones to keep them seperate. I imagine all you have to do at the beginning of a thread is say "this is for XXXXXX only" and that will make it pretty clear for most.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
The Z forums are a joke, thank god for this....

The z forums are like a specials song "Ghost Town". I always hum that tune when im entering the land of the Z forum;) lol

JD
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
I had to chime in on this one...How many n:confused::confused:bs do you find that actually READ the warnings?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
It would be really useful if everyone had a signature making it clear which phone/ROM they have. But of course there will be plenty of newcomers who don't have that initially.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
No matter what you try to introduce there will always be those that fall outside of the realms of stupidity, especially here on xda :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] svetius:
Please tell me which you prefer:

1. Full Merge

Four forums (the usuals) for both the G2 and DZ

2. Dev Merge

Merge DZ with G2 dev forum, delete DZ dev forum (which will have zero threads). Keep individual G2/DZ forums for general, accessories, themes and apps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dinfinity:
Full merge, please.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
Yep,

Full merge

please.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
1. Full Merge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
Someone in the G2 thread has suggested merging all of them but keeping seperate General sections as a temp measure specifically for the noobs. What does everyone think?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Beast11:
Full merge. Or that ^
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Personally I don't see why the General sections need keeping on their own, from the TP2 forum I'm used to threads about AT&T stuff which don't affect me so I just ignore them, similarly I'd not be too bothered about T-Mobile-specific threads from G2 owners in a merged forum.

There are so many "General" issues in common between the two phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I guess a full merge isn't that bad. I see quite a few of the general forum topics are questions. Just gotta make sure keep em in the Q&A section.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blunted09:
lol thats why i said "most"!

if they cant read it, they should get an iphone :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] blunted09:
either way, thank you to whoever merges it. i think its definitely for the best
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
Full merge please. Thanks to the mods for listening.

[G2 and Desire Z General] rb14:
Is there a risk of threads becoming filled with "will this fix/app/dev/other work on the Z as well as the G2"?

Clearly there is major crossover between the two devices, but is it enough? If I were a contented G2 forum member, I'd be a bit unhappy if my lovely forum got spoilt by Z users wanting a "free ride".

Presumably people on this forum are keeping tabs on the G2 forum and posting crossover stuff once proper functionality is established.

Certainly for me this forum is a bit of a battle at the moment anyway, trying to easily (on the title anyone?) work out whether the post relates specifically to rooted phones.

So, no answers from me, but it's a bit of feedback.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NXUS:
I for one would love this.. I have a desire z but stay almost exclusively on the g2 forums since that's where all the dev is happening in my opinion. It would open a lot of doors to people if it was merged and help many as well.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Joeball88:
amen. Full merge, please!
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Woo, we made the front page ! :D

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/forum-merge-coming-up-soon-htc-desire-z-and-t-mobile-g2/
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Good points. I'd encourage you to pop over to the G2 forums and check it out. You'll find quite a few DZ owners over there already, especially when it comes to custom ROM threads.

Personally, I think you'll find that the only questions that are specific to the G2 over there are actually just specific to their stock ROM, not to the device as such.

So I don't think there's really any issue of establishing proper functionality in terms of the phones, just in terms of stock ROMs. And that's an issue for many other phones too, but not one that causes forum to be split.

As I said, check out the G2 side to get a feel for what's happening over there. I haven't come across any posts yet from G2 folks upset with the DZ users who are already there.

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

My phone is now JK3 using ODIN.

Kies not allow to upgrate to JK4 from JK3.

My question is how to use Kies to upgrade to JK4? Do I have to go back to 2.1? How? Please help !

Thanks

I already know how to do that. Sorry :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgeli:
Can you tell me how?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyphones:
check out allgamers post in the general section.

Do the regedit hack and then keys will upgrade to jk4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khar00f:
Same thing happened to me, but instead of using the reg hack for kies, I just used odin went back to UGJH2 and then Kies updated normally

Hope that helps,

Thank you,

Rodi
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbacala:
yes, that what I did. ODIN back to JH2 then use Kies to JK4 as normal
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Videonut:
You don't need to flash back to anything. The more you flash the more likely you get a corrupt SD.

Just use Kies Registry Patcher.

Set Spoof=True, Provider = BMC, Click Write Registry

Then goto Kies and upgrade.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jerry00:
My HTC Magic won't boot. This is my problem. It just boots into that logo if i'm trying to boot into fastboot or recovery. As you can see, the blue LED still works. What i tried to do is downgrading the radio (With ClockWorkMod) and the last thing i saw flashing was "Uploading radio image.." and then it rebooted into the state it is in now. Have anyone else experienced this/got a fix? I will love you forever :D

edit: if you didn't see my link, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-grYLlaUUo
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jerry00:
bump

i think the last fasboot info i saw was

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] johnson8cyl:
Check if your spl is compatible with your radio. Which did u flash first?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jerry00:
thanks for the respond. i think the radio was flashed first. (i used mumilovers fastboot commander)

EDIT: when i think about it, i used the fastboot commander, it flashed the radio, but there was an error flashing the SPL, so i flashed only the SPL via ClockWorkMod, i think the issue is that i didn't have any battery left. and no, that SPL is not compatible with the radio. i think i need 1.33.x SPL
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] johnson8cyl:
I would have to say u have a brick now. Radio/spl have to be compatible or u will brick it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jerry00:
guess i'll turn it in for service then.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
I recently released Browsix. If you install my app, you can do the following from another PC in your local network:

Download, upload, delete, rename,... all your files using the file manager (PC <=> Phone)

View your photos.

Listen to your music.

Watch your videos

Send and receive SMS messages

All you need is a regular browser on a PC in the same local network as your phone. Just point your PC's browser to www.browsix.com and you will be redirected to your phone (without configuring Bluetooth, USB cables,...). Sounds great?!

You can find Browsix in the Android market.

I REALLY want to check this out but you only have one post so I'm not totally convinced you aren't spam, lol. Can you embed the video in the thread?
[Android Apps and Games] frewys:
Thought the same :)

And still waiting for more crazy users than me to try it if it is good or not.
[Android Apps and Games] iomthd:
Add me to that waiting list as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Tried the site and no sign of malicious activity.

EDIT - didn't realize WiFi is required. Works great!
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Hi Guys,

I really appreciate your interest. Now it's up to me to convince you that we are not into spam :-) I just thought it would be great if you could point your browser to a web page and then be redirected to your phone. That's why I developed this tool, and it took quite some time actually. Some more explanation: What we actually do is show a link on the browsix.com home page when the Browsix application is installed, you will notice that this is a local IP address (you have to be connected via Wifi). So if you click the link, you will be redirected to your phone, which will serve all the requests. The tool you install on your android phone is actually a lightweight webserver.

@Phateless: Did you try the top links on the home page. For instance, if you click the Photos link, you should see a photo slideshow. Did that not work for you? What browser are you using? Of course you will not see the photos on your phone :-) You will have to install the application for that.

Just to make things clear: None of your data (photos, music, files, etc..) is stored on our server. We only store you local IP address.

We are still in early development so I really appreciate all your suggestions, bug reports, etc. And believe me, I'm not a spammer. Is there any another way for me to prove this?

Thanks,

Stijn
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Hi Stijn, I believe you now. :) Didn't realize you had to be connected via WIFI, I thought it was like Awesome Drop which operates via 3G. http://labs.dashwire.com/drop

Very excited to try this out when I get home!
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Bump - this is an awesome utility that everyone needs to try.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Thanks to Phateless and some other forum members I released a new version with some exciting new features:

- Upload multiple files at the same time (also included in the free version)

- Intelligent prefetching for faster load times

- Unlimited upload size

- Rename/delete files

- Better error handling

For the upcoming version I have in mind:

- Password protection

What other features would you guys like to see?

Thanks,

Stijn
[Android Apps and Games] MLonon:
Benefits over Awesome Drop.

Not to be mean or anything like that but how is this different/better than Awesome Drop. I like more choices, I am just asking for your...sale pitch.
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Awesome Drop is COMPUTER --> PHONE.

This program goes BOTH WAYS! Try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
We go a few steps further. We have separate pages for photos, music and video where you can view your media. On top of that we provide a file manager that you can use to copy/manage files between a PC and your phone, in both ways :).

I also have an exciting new feature to announce!!

- The ability to send and receive SMS text messages in your browser.

I use it to respond to my text messages when my phone is on my desk and my browser is opened anyway.

This feature is still in BETA, so I hope I will get tons of feedback to further improve it.

See you later!
[Android Apps and Games] seboj:
What's the difference between the lite and paid versions? Or is it a donate?

EDIT: Ah, nevermind. Found it on your website.

EDIT#2: I can't seem to get the lite version to work. My phone shows up on the webpage, but nothing happens when I click the link for it, or when I put the IP address in manually.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Hi seboj,

Were you connected via WiFi? Your computer should be in the same local network as your phone (basically behind the same router).
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
It's started randomly force closing on me for the last few days, when it wasn't even open that I knew of.

Any ideas?

MT4G CM6
[Android Apps and Games] seboj:
Yeah, I verified that I was on the same network. Tried rebooting and reconnecting everything as well.

HTC Aria CM6
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
I think both your problems have something to do with the new SMS feature (are you both using android 2.2 ?).

A bit technical: I implemented a BroadcastReceiver for the SMS messages. This means that when you receive an SMS, the receiver upgrades a counter and stores some properties of the SMS so Browsix can use them. I will add some more error checking and publish a new version to the market. (EDIT The broadcastreceiver is now only registered when browsix is enabled)

If you still have the same problem with the new version, can someone check the output of LogCat? That would be a great help.

Thanks for your patience,

Stijn

EDIT: A new version is published to the market. Please let me know if it works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Thanks, will reinstall it.

Can you give me a basic on logcat? I've heard the term and I'm fairly comfortable with adb, just haven't used logcat yet.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
You can use

adb logcat

to print out log messages. More information can be found at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#logcat

I think we can find the problem if you use the following (this will print error messages, you will have to enable usb debugging on your phone):

adb logcat *:E
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
So I don't need to have logcat running WHILE the errors happen? Yeah I'm already rooted with debugging enabled. I've been nandroiding back and forth between Sense and CM6 about once or twice a week lately. MT4G.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Yup, should work, logcat uses a backlog so you can print previous error messages. (as long as you don't wait too long)
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Excellent, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] seboj:
Tried the new version, same timeout issue. When I go to Browsix.com, the device name shows up, but it times out when I click it, or type it in directly. Not sure if this is relevant, but I noticed that my device doesn't show up on my router's DHCP client list.

Here's the logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
There is your problem. It seems like another program is using port 8888. Could you confirm that? I will try to find a nice fix for this (i.e. dynamically determining which port to use)

The fact that your router doesn't list your phone, might be yet another problem. This might be the case if your router gives a separate public IP to your phone. Could you post the phone's IP, the public IP of your router and the local IP of the computer you are trying from? This way, I can see whether they are in the right subnet. For privacy reasons, you could drop the last number of each IP address, it will still tell me enough.

Thanks for the effort!
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
I published a new version to the market where your port problem should be fixed. Our hosting provider seems to have problems at the moment, if you cannot reach browsix.com, please type the IP address in your browser as Browsix suggests.
