[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaju123:
As some of you may know, the galaxy s line of phones physically has 512 mb of memory, but much of it is reserved for hardware functions. I was wondering if the nexus s has the same restrictions as on the SGS you can only get around 341MB and keep the phone fully stable - Google may have discovered a workaround or something.

Thanks for any assistance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsfilth:
from what i have seen 384mb 346MB is available to the system by default just like when the N1 launched a few kernel tweaks should fix it though

heres where i found it

I bricked my phone flashing [ROM][BACON] CyanogenMod-6.1 for Galaxy S :: V6.1.0-beta3. It just stays in recovery with the usual four options. I have cleared user data/cache and then rebooted... waited more than 10 minutes in the samsung screen after that and nothing. Reinstall packages option just flashes the samsung logo for a second then goes right back to the recovery menu. Please does anybody know what I can do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
um i recommend flashing back to the stock 2.2 or 2.1 using odin, something similar happen to me a while back.

What are the chances the streak will get gingerbread.....you guys think its possible
[Streak 5 General] zkyevolved:
It's probably very possible. I haven't seen any devices that are listed that have higher specs than the streak

[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Possible? yes. Probable? no. As slow as Dell is updating to push Froyo out for the AT&T users, I dont see this ever happening with Gingerbread lol
[Streak 5 General] zkyevolved:
That's at&ts decision. Not dells. Froyo is out for the streak. Most phones that are unlocked get their releases fast as they don't pass through carriers. They are direct from the manufacturer. :)

[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
just for a comparison, the Italian version of my actual device, HTC touch HD, never got any ROM update because it was branded (not even locked) by an Italian carrier.

anyway. i don't really think there will be a gingerbread update. at least not a dell official one. all the other competitors have made official statements, tweets, and whatnot about updates to 2.3, silence from dell. skeptical... i just hope they won't be inspired by motorola on this one
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
i see a chance of dell dropping support for the streak on their mobile line. i dont think its done that well and i think its kinda their fault. however, if it stays on the lineup for another couple months, it may just get gingerbread. id be expecting it more from djsteve than dell though. just as a side note: no android phone on att officially has froyo yet. ponder that.
[Streak 5 General] zkyevolved:
They are still selling it as new on carriers world round. So.... we'll see? But I'm sure we'll get it ported over one way or another! I haven't had much experience with Android, so I have no idea on how to do any of that kind of stuff :(... So I'll wait and see if Dell mentions anything! :D
[Streak 5 General] aSquard:
I think we will get Gingerbread.. Personally, I've seen more and more good news about the Streak and I would hope that because of this Dell would offer to support the Streak's upgrade path.

We all know Gingerbread is said to be more tablet friendly and Dell has marketed our device as a tablet first (phone 2nd). If it's not official from Dell I'm sure someone from XDA will keep the dream alive :-)

Streaking with the XDA app!

[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Hopefully before streak EOL announcement...
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
For sure it will get it. Spoke to my dell guy inside and he says demand is up with a 15 day lead time...

What you also have to realize is the dell 7 streak will be out soon and businesses like mine will snatch them up... when people learn about the streak 5 they will buy.

I knew little to nothing about it and I am a tech person.. until my dell guy handed me one to play with...

Can't wait to watch porn on it. Lol
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
nothing better than a 5" screen to see it on lol. I agree though i think it will get gingerbread, for the reason that the Dell 7 will more than likely be announced at CES people will jump to get a cheaper model price wise the streak and see if its good so that they can get the 7 for say business. Im sure it will get gingerbread as soon as it starts rolling out at least the unlocked version will lol. Not many have gingerbread if im not mistaken ive only seen the Nexus with a legit gingerbread .
[Streak 5 General] blumontego:
I think theres no gingerbread update for streak

the main new fiture in ginger bread is nfc suported, but dell doesnt have nfc chip on it,,

maybe gingerbread available in the next streak (opus one)
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Hahaha sure things would be even bigger on a 7" streak, any app suggestions? :-)
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
NFC support could be most hyped hardware thingie on gingerbread but mass market adoption will take time and there are many alternative ways to support such functionality even without a built in IC. Whether streak will get an official update or not depends on dell moving its butt to make it happen but I also use nexus one and it will be gingerized without an NFC IC and hopefully start rolling very very very soon...

More than 2 finger multitouch, gyro capabilities and apps utilizing/supporting such features will be more of my concern rather than specific support for NFC on existing hardware as gingerization rolls out...
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
I feel it will get gingerbread. Reason is that Google hasnt said that you need to have anything to use gingerbread unlike with Honeycomb its just up to dell to get it done.
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Not aware of honeycomb requirements, can you point out?
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
I cant find the actual article but i was reading that it would need a tegra2 processor now it could be just assumed but its what i read. I cant remember if it wsa on bgr or engadget. it was one of em.
[Streak 5 General] pelayo54:
if the lg optimus one series is getting gingerbread and doesnt have nfc support then the streak might be upgraded too
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 3105162:
I think I know what you are talking about, and if I remember correctly it stated honeycomb is "optimized" for tegra2, but it is not required.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
Ah ok well something like that i couldnt find it though. Thanks
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
people confuse optimization with requirements. i remember everyone running around saying "gingerbread will only run on devices with a 1ghz processor!!" and you know how many 800mhz phone being released and sold now? and keep in mind, google has said theres absolutely no way to get froyo on a g1. dont believe in any of these silly requirements.
[Streak 5 General] cheetah2k:
The Nexus S has no tegra 2, and it will be updated to honeycomb for sure! I remember seeing somewhere that Google has hinted that even the Nexus One will get honeycomb (probably its last update)
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
Exactly, and most of these "requirements" are just put up to make you upgrade to a new phone earlier. If you think your phone can't handle the new OS version you are more likely to buy a new phone.
[Streak 5 General] foxyNinja7:
I'm way more concerned about getting Honeycomb on my Streak than Gingerbread. I mean, sure, I'll take any update I can get, but 3.0 will really start to take advantage of the nice screen size.
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Yes honeycomb will support dual core arm architecture, Upto and including gingerbread does not support dual core architecture. You're right this is not a requirement just an additional capability of honeycomb.
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Actually honeycomb will be able to support resolutions beyond wvga (800x480); including ginger android natively supports up to wvga which is streak's resolution. However, there are issues with dell's video driver that only dell can resolve... so don't expect much on honeycomb bringing in any improvements for streak on that side of things...

In other words tablets like samsung tab are ahead of their times and hence app scaling and other video related issues need to be worked around by the vendor due to lack of native support within the OS itself... or devices with dual cores running current android flavors doesn't really mean faster or efficient compare to its single core siblings in reality but are good marketing gimmicks, at least for now...
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Complain about this to HTC, that is unacceptable!
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
its not that we think it wont handle it but when companies like htc, motorola, samsung who dont upgrade their phones to the os that is out and about and blame the carriers who lag on it also and wont make it available for older phones.

when i change the icon with launcher pro plus the icon looks like garbage.

hoping someone could help me out with this, thanks!

[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Text icons like that I have seen at 82x72px. And yours is 300x300px and being squeezed down will make it blurry.

good day.
[Fascinate General] Kaessa:
72x72 is the standard resolution for LauncherPro text icons. I've made them at 128x128 for ones I wanted to use on the screen, but you can see the difference when you squeeze them down for LauncherPro.

it's not an xml edit... you just need to resize the png to fit. it uses a small png and tiles it. so just resize it to 480x800 and you're cool. i've been modding those far a long time.

I had so many "connection problem" messages that I started to investigate problem. As I'm using Linux in my servers it took me five minutes to discover and repair problem.

It was very easy: IP settings are from default Linux kernel settings which is max 3 retries and I remember from WM that it should be 10 (default in WM) or even more (in custom roms). 3G networks are not as realiable as ethernet.

If You want You can try this with script (You can try GScript Lite):

echo 15 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries1

echo 60 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2

It is working very good! "connection problem" messages has gone forever.

I think that this could be done internally in kernel.

P.S. i already did odin3 to put stock rom since i can get in download mode but no help
[Captivate General] sshvetsov:
These were pretty much exact steps I used to unlock my Rogers Captivate. Good write up.
[Captivate General] sshvetsov:
If you can still get into download mode, it's fixable. If Odin didn't work try Heimdall, few people were successful flashing stock back to Rogers Captivate with it. You might have to restore your original nv_data.bin from the backup manually.
[Captivate General] asadsheraz:
I did make backup but how do I access the internal SD to restore backup? Since computer wont detect phone either as it keeps restarting.
[Captivate General] sshvetsov:
Hmm, good question. I usually make a backup of my things to computer. When you patched the nv_data.bin file, didn't you pull it with adb? Perhaps you still have that file around someplace?
[Captivate General] asadsheraz:
No... i was using the android terminal emulator to make backup and what not. Didn't copy it to computer but even if I did how'd I put it back since I cant access the internal SD....
[Captivate General] Penphoe:
Did it get stuck in the reboot loop after the first reboot?
[Captivate General] sshvetsov:
You might need it later, after you restore your phone with Odin or Heimdall.
[Captivate General] asadsheraz:
it just wont come up. Even after trying both restoring procedures it keeps booting over and over.

Also yes it started the boot loop from the first boot

European Sim Issue

I completed this procedure a few days before the posting and everything worked in Canada on the rogers network.

I needed to root and unlock the phone for a trip to France over the holidays.

Once arriving in France, and using Rogers sim, the voice phone calls would not work, only a weird static in the background when someone talked. Text messages and data seemed to function. I used this same sim with an unlocked blackberry in the past with no issues.

I have tried using an SFR sim with the phone now and the same issue, text messaging and data works but the voice calls still do not function, connection is made but nothing can be heard.

Has anyone made a phone call with a European sim card after completing the unlocking? Most people say they register with the network and did not try a voice call.

Any suggestions?

Is there a procedure to re-lock the phone?
[Captivate General] sshvetsov:
I've used this method on my Rogers Captivate and am successfully using it in Indonesia (voice, data, sms) with local SIM.

I doubt just the unlock would cause the problem you're describing. Did you by any chance flash any custom firmware or modem.bin?

I haven't tried to re-lock my phone, I'm guessing it would be almost the same procedure, but instead of pushing patched nv_data.bin file you would have to restore your original, unpatched nv_data.bin file from backup.
[Captivate General] Rickets:
Thanks for the response, i have not attempted any custom firmware of modem.bin changes.

Did you use sgsunlock or the method posted in this string? SGSunlock would not work when i attempted.

Found the link to this via mobilesyrup

http://mobilesyrup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4355

This is the orginal posting i used to unlock the i896 after rooting with z4root

When the unlock was completed the EFS folder had a file called nv_data.bin.md5, what is the purpose of this file? It seems to be created when the phone is rebooted after applying the new nv_data.bin. What files were in the original EFS folder before applying the unlock? Did the *.md5 files exist?
[Captivate General] sshvetsov:
The method in the thread you're linking to is for Froyo (Android 2.2), but aside from few small OS specific difference it is exactly the same as the sgsunlock web site and the original post of this thread. I used the instructions from http://www.communityhosting.net/sgsunlock/ site (not SGS Unlock app from the market) on my Rogers Captivate, since they are for Eclair (Android 2.1), and they worked perfectly. This thread just adds details on how to root your Rogers Captivate with z4root before you unlock it.

md5 file contains the hash/checksum of the nv_data.bin file, it is generated on restart. I'm not sure exactly what is the purpose of that file, but I'm guessing it is there to make sure that nv_data.bin file is not corrupt or has been modified.

There were several files in the /efs folder, from my memory: nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5, .nv_data.bak, .nv_data.bak.md5, imei, nv.log and maybe a couple more. Most of them are deleted during the unlock procedure and regenerated on restart. The most important of them is nv_data.bin. This is the file you patch to unlock your phone, and I'm guessing this is the file you would have to restore to re-lock it.
[Captivate General] empz:
I was getting that exact error on my Rogers captivate about no access to /efs/* whenever i tried running the generate code batch, has anyone tried rooting the phone then just re running the batch to get the unlock codes? seems alot of extra steps here for nothing (if that works!)
[Captivate General] Penphoe:
Rooting the phone and then running those pre-existing scripts will not work. The reason is because the Rogers firmware file and directory permissions are different. Not only that, our Rogers nv_data.bin file does NOT contain any unlock codes.

The gist of my instructions are this:

Gain root access so you can get into the /efs directory. Without root access, you cannot see ANYTHING in this subdirectory.

Copy the necessary files out of the /efs directory to /sdcard so it is readable via mounting it onto your computer. Personally, I copied my files onto my external SD card (/sdcard/sd). Also, it is strongly recommended that you make a copy/backup of your /efs directory onto your computer or other external media.

Hope this helps.

LaterZ!
