[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4got2g0:
OK, so I'm new to Android and I've been reading non-stop for the last week, but it really is A LOT to take in. I'm completely satisfied with the stock eclair version it came with, although I haven't experienced the other roms so maybe I'm really missing out. The only thing I'd really like to be able to do is use my phone to get internet on my laptop. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the easiest way is to first root your phone, then add a tether app from the market right? Any suggestions on the best app to do this?

Also, is there a way to get flash enabled on the stock rom? I saw it was on the froyo rom, is that the only way to get it, by installing a new rom?

One more about rooting. Is it possible to just download the update.zip file, email it to myself, download it to my phone and move it into the root directory on my phone? or is there a way to root using just your phone besides z4root bc Ive tried that and it isn't working. I lost the usb cable that came with the phone and the new one i bought from a gas station only charges it, won't put the phone into usb mode for some reason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
You could always try one of the Froyo roms for tethering.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
You can download app one click lag fix from market. It will root your phone. I would not use anything else from the app though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4got2g0:
Thanks, the root feature has been removed from the app though. I guess I'm just going to buy a new cord so I can connect to my comp and do it that way. Still wondering about the flash though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yasserelsayad:
My phone is showing wrong labeling and text on some places

I don't know what caused it and i rebooted the phone several times but nothing changed.

Phone info

Rooted

using speedmod k10c kernel

build number: FROYO.JPJPF

here are some pictures showing the problem better

the button label

"You do not have permission" instead of "more"

Notice the "Sending ..."

"Low on space" appears when trying to turn on bluetooth or wifi

and "Phone Storage" appears when trying to turn them off

This is menu that appears when holding the power button, all labels are messed up.

This is my storage summary and i have alot of free space
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got_milk:
Factory reset, reflash if that doesn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yasserelsayad:
Factory reset didn't work, I will try reflashing and see what will happen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rah77az:
I had the same issue when i was installing wrong CF root. Check if the root is for your firmware version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yasserelsayad:
I think the problem wasn't from the root because i rooted the phone after upgrading to froyo and this was from a month ago, but this problem suddenly happened after i restarted the phone yesterday.

I flashed the new 2.2.1 firmware and the problem solved

but now vibration doesn't work

and it doesn't have arabic lang. so i can't read anything written in arabic.

I think i will flash 2.2 back again, but the new firmware is very fast and everything runs so smooth, no need to lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkforum:
I know the answer! The battery icon mod with the percentage is not correct for your firmware.

It happened to me before when I tried to put the jpo battery mod on the official italian jp5 fw and also if I try to mod the battery icon of the latest jpu.

It's a problem due to messing up the framework-res.apk file.

So, revert back the battery mod to the original icon and everything will work again.
[EVO 4G General] wasnt:
I have been looking at different methods of burning DVDs to the a format that works well on the Evo (like MP4 and MKV). I have tried a couple burns with Handbrake and they come out nice on the Evo but don't look good when played back over HDMI on a TV (in this case 720p).

Anyone have an guides that they have used that work? I have found plenty of guides online but testing out on Spirited Away and Avatar produced mediocre results when played back on the TV through HDMI.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Well first off a dvd is nowhere near 720p resolution. Second, you are compressing an already compressed dvd to put on your phone, that introduces a ton of crappy video quality. Third, its a phone. Its not going to give you the same quality as a dedicated media device.

I chose to buy the full version unlocker for poweramp today. However, after entering my credit card details it has failed to get past the "authorizing payment" for the past several hours.

Is this a regular occurance? How long should it take?
[Android Apps and Games] deviouscreation:
BUMP...

Anyone have any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] skymera:
I've bought several apps and should only take a few seconds as far as I'm aware.

Not sure what the problem could be.
[Android Apps and Games] deviouscreation:
I found out later this morning that there was an email from Google Checkout in my Gmail asking to confirm some account details (Date of Birth), and that the purchase could not be processed until I submitted them. I've done this about 2.5hrs ago, and it still says "Authorising Payment"..
[Android Apps and Games] deviouscreation:
UPDATE..

I read in other forums that some people had issues when they registered cards on their phone and not on their PC. I managed to get the app refunded, and registered a different card over my PC. (I also read that some people had issues using a credit card over a debit card).

I have bought the app again using this second card, but I am still stuck at the authorization.

Help??
[Android Apps and Games] deviouscreation:
UPDATE..

The problem has been fixed. It transpires that Google had not yet processed the information I had supplied them until early this morning. Once I received their confirmation, I was able to cancel and re-download the unlocker, which did so successfully.
[Android Software Development] cadavreatpinopl:
Hi,

is there a way to put external widget (for ex. GenieWidget with weather) into my application in a easy way? Something like putting just a proper layout in .xml in res/layout?
[Android Software Development] Mariuxtheone:
To develop a widget you should follow proper Android development instructions. Actually building a Widget is slightly different from developing an activity application, because you have to deal with Receive and Update methods.

Another important thing is you can't use Views exactly as in Activity, you need to deal with RemoteViews that act differently from Views.

However, it is not difficult to start developing a Widget, take a look at Android Developers!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japher:
I don't want to have to pay £549 for this device, particularly since it's only $529 in the USA (!!). I'm guessing that Carphone Warehouse will keep the phone at this overpriced level for as long as possible though.

Has caught any mention at all of how long this exclusive deal with Carphone Warehouse will last?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
Carphone Warehouse is owned by Best Buy so prob exclusive to them the same amount of time it is to Best Buy. Could be a while.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Touch:
Try ebay, you might find a cheaper price.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japher:
eBay is a good idea, however it seems unlikely that people will be buying from Carphone Warehouse (the only place to buy) to then sell off cheap on eBay. I guess some people may import them, dodge the VAT, then sell cheap on eBay.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirk1978:
Ordered mine from CPW on the day it was announced. After import duty and delivery and waiting for them to show up on eBay I doubt it would be cheaper, and £550 is still cheaper than an iPhone4.

Phoned the local store it's being delivered to today and they don't know when it will be there so just have to wait for the head office to send it out and let me know.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] warlordxxx:
I'm aware this question has been asked before but i'm going to add onto it a little.

I have bought a topaz full housing + digitizer and my question is what to stick the digitizer down with and where can i buy it ? - some have already said double sided 3m tape but 3mm or 4mm as both seem to be for digitizers and i don't want it protruding from the case nor do i really want it depressed into the case.

As an add on can you tell me what you used to get the job done and how well it held - any tips for the job in hand like heat up the tape with a hairdryer beforehand or let the glue sit for 30 seconds before attaching the digitizer.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] warlordxxx:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] warlordxxx:
Thanks very much and how did you find it is it still sticking how long has it lasted ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Lasker1:
It has about the same strength as the original.

I have used my phone for 2 month without problem with this tape.

You have to cover the entire contact surface for the digitizer with tape use a razor to cut small pieces.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] warlordxxx:
Excellent thank you . I have finally managed to get mine stuck on and all back together and the call button is now not working ahhhh lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxos:
There is a thread on this already but the answer didn't make sense to me and the two words I have to type to login to the main site don't agree when I type them so I ask here: how do I type an equals sign on the standard Android keyboard?

The answer given was hold down the 12# key and then the 1/2 key bottom left. There is no 1/2 key bottom left on my keyboard ...

Presumably there are a whole lot of currency symbols as well but when I long press on the f key I only see $ which seems very strange.

Please help me with these mysteries.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxos:
Yes and no ...

It seems that the misunderstanding is because the instructions are in American whereas I speak read and write English.

'Press' in English means 'push down and hold' but it seems that 'press' in American means 'push down and withdraw'?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killyouridols:
Makes me American then :confused: I've always treated 'Press' as 'Push and Release' unless told otherwise.

Suppose its all how you interprete it

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxos:
OK well I'm from Aotearoa and in Aotearoa press means what it says in the English English dictionary I glanced at which is 'exert a steady pressure'.

It's only important when one needs to know in a given procedure - like rooting - exactly what one is doing.

Perhaps the consistent meaning on these forums is the equivalent of a mouse click not a mouse click and hold?

[G Tablet General] Gramps:
I noticed several DiskCacheIndex****.TMP files stored in my SDCard folder. Can these be deleted without causing any issues? What is generating these temporary files?

Thanks,

Gramps
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I have only noticed these on TnT stock. TnT Lite (or any other mod) does not create these.

With that in mind, if you are on a mod then you can delete them. I have done this, myself. But on stock, I don't know what they are used for so you might have to leave them there, at least the newest files.

As for what is creating them, it has to be one of the TnT apks. The reason why is process of elimination. TnT Lite does not have the issue and removes several TnT apks, thus one of those apks is probably the culprit. My guess is that it's the homescreen itself.
[G Tablet General] arnoldmoreno:
TMP files in SDCARD folder

I've noticed those TMP files as well.

I have a stock gTab as well and just started deleting them. I haven't had any ill effects <knock on wood> so far. I don't know what creates them but I did have about eight of them last night when I checked my SDCARD folder. I had been using the Camera, Photo and News APKs going in and out of them several times. So I tend to agree with what Roebeet mentioned.

I've gotten kind of used to stock but have been leaning towards TNT Lite or Vegan. I just haven't decided yet.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zeb crs:
As I have only data and sms on my subscription on my Tab I would like to have a dialer on the tab which uses my gmail contacts (they are already synced to the tab) to make a call through my Nexus One phone.

Then I could keep it in my pocket or somewhere else during driving as I use the tab for music and navigation in my car.

Does anyone know of a dialer that can do this?

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
So, you want the Tab/Nexus to immitate a bluetooth headset?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] SolusCado:

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] iamodogg:
So. I don't recall having seen anything that remotely controls a cellphone. However, couldn't you have google voice make a call the same way it does when you use it from your pc and it first calls the number associated with your google voice account, then connects the call with the desired contact?

I know that is not specifically what you are looking for but might provide some ideas.

Otherwise, from what I understand you are saying is basically a remote controll for your phone? It doesnt necissarily need to be via bluetooth. I control my ip handset over the internet with the tie in to my enterprise im client. I can control any of the several ip phones I have attached to my profile in the call manager.

Let me know if you find this elsewhere. Looks like a great application for the tab. Im starting to have device overload!

[General Questions and Answers] epic.phail:
Hi there,

I recently used the "eugene" froyo update on my new unlocked samsung vibrant from t-mobile. it still lags sometimes and i was kinda hoping to find a way to make it faster.

I don't know if the eugene froyo update rooted my phone or not. under firmware version it says 2.2 and build number says FROYO.UVJK2. I don't know what the build number means either.

I wanted to downgrade from this 2.2 version back to 2.1 cuz i wanted to wait for the original release of 2.2, but i couldnt find a way to downgrade. I want to make the phone faster if possible, that is why i am posting this.

If anyone could help or give me a solution, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

Here is a preview of another icon set I'm working on.

This one is more for your computer than you phone but I still thought I'd share them with you.

Currently I only have the Eris icon completely completed but I'm working on more as you read this. They will be in two sizes, 32px and 48px.

Please please tell me what you think.
[Android Themes] toosurreal01:
These look great, the detail is pretty awesome!

Are you using Photoshop or Illustrator to create them?
[Android Themes] hush66:
The icons look great. But since these are for use on the computer and not the phone, perhaps it would be better for the icons to contain the standard sizes (256 x 256, 128 x 128, 96 x 96, 48 x 48 and 32 x 32). Just a suggestion.
[Android Themes] chancellorr:
I'm using Photoshop.

I'm using only 48 and 32 because it's a more minimal look. I personally use 32px icons on my computer because it's cleaner imo.

Hi peeps,

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if anyone knew of the cause or even a solution? The issue is that I have downloaded a game off the marketplace (free version) of SliceIt from com2us and for some reason, while playing it, after a random period of time, my phone will reboot itself. I'm on the official 318 with the performance tweak found on the dev section and I've had this occur 3/4 times now, only with this game, no others yet. Also, the time seems to vary, it happened after about 5 mins play one time and the others were after about 30 mins play. Any ideas?

Im writing here because i have to where to go to ask for at problem like this

to night i updated my moms x8 because of an error with the market and gmail app on the phone. not rooted btw. and there wasent any gmail attached to the phone.

but after i had run the backup and restore application on the phone running 1.6 at that time. it backed everything up. then i plugged in the phone and updated to 2.1. after the install and i turned the phone on. i find out that i only got 4 contacts on the phone.:mad: and 1 contact in fav section there's no contacts on the simcard and backup and restor took about 1 min to restore contacts when i restored from the backup.

Any idea where the contacts have run away to or are they just lost for good?
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
They could have been attached to a google account. So when you backed up the files, you only backed up what was actually on the phone, which could be those 4 contacts.

Try doing a sync.
[XPERIA X8 General] zwepter:
can't access that gmail. and i dont know if they have been synced to that gmail. i will try to get access to it, but as far as i know the phone hasent synced it contacts with it, not manually it hasent, dont know if it does so automaticly?
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
I think it does it automatically. One day I went to look at the contacts that were actually stored on my phone. Apparently none of them were, they were all tied to the gmail account.

So yeah, I'd say it does it automatically. I could be wrong though.
