He probably has a stack of cell phones and probably tries to brick some of them on purpose. He probably just gives back the bricks to Samsung.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Thanks, I guess...:rolleyes: hard to detect sarcasm in writing;) My point was... bricks happen!

Just flashing the proper way, epecially packed ones with a bootloader, you can brick even when you do everything correctly. I've flashed over 500 phones (may be more) and it will happen. The nice thing is though, when you are a cell tech, just pop out the board and get another one. Manufacter's warranties for carriers are surprisingly lax... so, yeah we did brick some on purpose, lol

so the new nexus S reportedly has macro mode for the camera built in its gingerbread software, is it possible that this feature could be reproduced for the desire perhaps?
[Android Software Development] RunTimeWorld:
Sorry i couldn't paste all since the mail is too long and im on the road

ahead of time: -As part of the process to push the source code, there will be some points in time when the master branch doesn't build. Sorry about that. If you're working on the master branch, I recommend that you don't sync until I send an "all clear" when I'm done and things look good. Other branches are expected to work fine as soon as their manifests are created. -Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable for AOSP work, there are some caveats. I very strongly recommend against trying to use Nexus S for anything related to AOSP at the moment. Trying to unlock or use your Nexus S for AOSP work could easily turn it into a Nexus B (where B means "brick"); I have two of those,

IQ 701

I'm new to this forum, first I want to say my Pocketbook IQ 701 rocks! Unfortunately the firmware doesn't.... I very quickly updated to the repack version available on this site- mobileread.mobi/forums/showthread.php?t=116736

Good but doesn't fix the IQ's issues with sleep mode (random wake ups that drain your battery), nor of course the most annoying issue - being unable to access the internal micro SD???

Pocketbook has now fixed these issues! There is a version 2.0.6 firmware available on their website.

However I like my "launcher pro" setup and "Aldiko" reader. I will not install this firmware and be forced to view the disgusting "bookland" homepage everytime I touch the device.

Please someone repack this firmware!!!!!

The IQ701 is an awesome entry device into the Android tablet world, ok its not perfect, but for $140 you can't go wrong. XDA Developers take note: This device is worthy of some attention!

Keep up the great work.

[Wildfire General] LogicXLz':
Hi, guys!

Did any of you experience the problem, when after installing Rom Manager, whatever you choose from the menu, it says "you have to install ClocworkMod Recovery from the Rom Manager first..."?

And yet, when I confirm that, it doesen't do anything!!?? Reports no problem, but I cannot use any of the functions in Rom Manager, except "boot in recovery". I have of course, rooted the phone with Unrevoked3.

So my question would be, how to install Clockwork Recovery (UI)?

The other question is which partition to make? EXT, EXT2 or EXT3?

And about the backup... When I made my Nandroid backup it didn't make me a .zip file. Instead I got a "backup" directory with several files in it. Does that count as a ROM backup? Shoud I make a .zip file out of it? Or just rename it as one? Or what...???

Believe me, I' ve searched the forums and did not come up with these answers. So it hasn't been explained clearly yet.

Some help, please?? :confused::confused::confused:
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Its not meant to be a zip... if you want to restore the backup just boot into recovery and select nandroid restore and pick your backup it created.
[Wildfire General] LogicXLz':
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Rom Manager... That did the trick, as the newer version has arrived just after my first install... Stupid, yet there's no warning...
[Wildfire General] LogicXLz':
NANDROID = ROM Backup???

Does this backup (nandroid) count as a ROM backup? In case flashing a new ROM goes bad or if I just wish to revert to my previous one? :confused:
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Yeah its a rom backup. What else would nandroid be for.

Hi there,

I live in Armenia and recently I bought an HTC Wildfire and found out that it doesn't support Armenian fonts. Instead of Armenian fonts I can only see "[]"s.

Can you please tell me how can I change DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf to another font type (eg. Tahoma, Arial Unicode etc) which support Armenian symbols.

I rooted the phone with unrevoked 3.21 and when I try to do adb remount via android sdk tools, I couldn't make it work because I couldn't get full access.

Can you please help me with this issue. Is there a way to change the system fonts of Android system? Is it possible to do it from phone directly?

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

So lovely developers, a note from the proud users: MAXIMIZE NFC USE.

I haven't found anything, correct me if I'm wrong, that currently uses the NFC capabilities of the S. I expected 2.3 to have something that would allow us to add CC info and use NFC at Pay-pass stations etc. So please developers, (Or even an app request?) find a way to use that NFC and we will love, Truly. That, and you users know it, will become a make/break for a ROM released.

[Nexus S General] SphericalPuma:
As of right now, the NFC can only READ information. It has been confirmed though, that a later update will add the WRITE function to the NFC.

It would have been nice for the retail packaging to include something like the places poster that Google gave to the press, just so we could test out the NFC.
[Nexus S General] HazzBazz:
That is on stock. Hopefully when source it out later today we can inspect and tweak. My hope was to enable fast data transfer similar to Bump, anyone know any maximum transfer rate speeds for NFC? Obviously wit read/write enabled.

You need to read more and post less. There are no APIs to write via NFC yet.

I would keep an eye out on the Toshiba Regza phone from NTT DoCoMo in Japan. NFC is huge here. Every store has it and allows you to use it to pay for whatever. The new phone may have some APIs when it is released.

how do we use the NFC as a credit card?

normally we have to insert the credit card to the device to scan..

if by nexus S, how is it going to scan since the device only reads on chip from your credit card..
[Nexus S General] kaine13x7:
As of right now you can't.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
As of right now you can't.

I have Chase, and both my Chase "check card" and MasterCard both have "Blink" which is their NFC enabled cards.

When Google finally enables read/write/send capabilities of the NFC, this is what I would guess would happen:

The Chase Android App, you log in and enable the NFC feature. So then you're at the grocery store, you lauch the Chase Android App, login, then "wave" your phone at the Credit Card terminal to pay.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:

[Nexus S General] HazzBazz:
You are genuinely a top level idiot. You need to love more and flame less. The API will be released... although true not with source.... because Google expressed explicitly they want to work with third parties. Nokia experimented with nfc for data transfer so it is unlikely that Google will ignore this use. And yeah if people flame you're right not we here at xda but we here at the OEM I work for. Idiot.

RFID in Amex Blue credit card detected by Nexus S NFC

I can confirm that my Nexus S, when placed on top of my wallet, also consistently generates the message "Unknown tag type". By process of elimination, I figured out that the NFC chip inside my Nexus S (which is enabled by default when powering up the Nexus S, which I purchased unlocked and with no contract out of the box sold by Best Buy) is reacting to my American Express Blue card. The Amex Blue Card has what they call "tap and go" and apparently uses an RFID chip (I've never used the Amex Blue "tap and go". Its interesting that the NFC chip can detect it (through a leather wallet). For what its worth, my U.S. Passport has an RFID chip in it but the Nexus S does not generate any messages when I place the Nexus S on or adjacent to my passport, unlike the Amex Blue Card's RFID "tap and go". Most assuredly this is unlikely to be accidental as I doubt Eric Schmidt, et al would want Google investigated by the Dept. of Homeland Security in response to Nexus S tablets reading U.S. Passports!
[Nexus S General] :
I think RFID and NFC are different.
[Nexus S General] godsfilth:
nfc is a subset of the rfid protocol (or so a quick googling leads me to believe)

http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-rfid-and-nfc/
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
It does generate the same "Unknown tag type" when I place it on top of my US passport the same way it does with my Chase credit cards. Try placing the phone on the last (back) page of the passport.
[Nexus S General] climatic:
Thanks for the additional experimentation and updates. Indeed I can confirm (when the Nexus S is positioned on the back page of my U.S. Passport), the same "Unknown tag type" is indeed generated precisely the way it happens with the Amex Blue card. I can't help but wonder what all of this might mean for use of NFC technology in the Nexus S and future phones such as for applications like identity? Could a Nexus S with NFC chip replace the functionality of a smart card? This isn't my area of expertise, so I'm curious what could come about from this.
[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
Hey guys come on this isn't the Vibrant section! Relax!

Also getting "Unknown tag type" from my MBTA Charlie Card:

E/NFC JNI ( 193): phLibNfc_RemoteDev_CheckPresence(2b1948) returned 0x00ff[NFCSTATUS_FAILED]

D/NFC JNI ( 193): Discovered tag: type=<hex>[Mifare1K]

So it is reading some data.
[Nexus S General] Chinpokomon:
Fun. Around Seattle, we have something called the ORCA (One Regional Card for All), which allows us to ride all the different public transportation systems in the area. It apparently shows a similar "unknown tag". I had suspected it used something like RFID, I guess it is likely NFC, or at least a similar system. I'm sure there are security concerns, but in the future I'd love to be able to scan my card, and use my phone for "playback". If that capability were possible, I don't know what would prevent people from cloning cards though.
[Nexus S General] avgjoegeek:
... Hope it isn't that easy to hack the NFC card without the SDK for it.

That would make the whole idea behind the card useless.

Imagine all the stolen CC#'s a hacker could get by using a modified phone listening for open Bluetooth/wireless connections and quietly reading user's CC info without them even realizing it?
