[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
If you actually purchase an app from thre Android Market, is it yours forever, even if you change your phone to another Android phone or reformat the current phone back to factory default?

I presume it's registered to your googlemail account as you have to use the google checkout for the purchase?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosie:
Yes, you just have to download it again, but when you log in the market for the first time with your google account, it recognizes the apps you purchased and places them in the download tab as "purchased". Then you just install them again without paying the fee :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrazr:
even if we doing factory resert w/o back up?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benson881:
Yes. After you reset one of the first things your phone will do is ask you for your Gmail account details. As long as you use the same account you bought them with.

Trust me!!!! I have done it

What happens if you upgrade your googlemail account to a gmail account?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosie:
I'm not sure it will still work if you log in with 2 different users. It needs to be the same user you logged in when you first purchased the app..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkyG82:
Is it actually an upgrade? Do you not get the same functionality with either addresses? If so then changing is not needed.
[Galaxy Tab General] pileosnafu:
OK so I searched first sorry If I'm duplicating as I found nothing and got the answer on my own!

Ok so i saw many forums on how to get GSM variants of the Tab but nothing for us CDMA (Sprint, Verizon users.)

Subnote: the posting of me are of my own and the views expressed are mine and are not necessarily endorsed or even approved of by my employer.

Step 1: Buy a Tab

Step 2: http://www.sipgate.com sign up for the sipone free program. You will need to know the phone number of your TAB (I know that sprint and probably Verizon too assign Phone numbers to the devices and I know that Sprint has texting including on at least the employee versions of the plan) if you do not have texting you will need your regular mobile device to get a text with a verification code to.

Step 3: get SipDroid from Market

Step 4:Get your username and password for Sipgate servers from http://www.sipgate.com/faq password too by selecting IPhone (i know silly but needed) scroll to the bottom and your info will be in the graphics

Step 5: Enter said info into Username and Password fields. Server =- sipgate.com

I left everything else the same. At this point you should get a green light in the status bar at the top of the screen indicting your good to go.

I have not used a PBXes box as this was and is working for me.

Next go back to the main part of the app. Place the number you want to call in the number field, enter any email and your good to go!

I added my Sipgate number to my Google voice dialing pattern and now someone calls my google voice and I get a ring on my Tab! Works well on wifi have not tried on 3g yet as I just got started
[Galaxy Tab General] msgfromside3:
Get sipdroid from its site which enables 3g calling. You should also set up gv callback so that your outgoing is being handled by gv via callback.

I still haven't figured out use for pxbes but everything seems working fine with me for a week now.
[Galaxy Tab General] kkwus74:
I think if you don't use pbx , when you use your tab to call, it would deduct the mins from sipgate which is only 60 free mins for the free account.....at least that's what happened in my case.

[Galaxy Tab General] msgfromside3:
Thanks. I am currently getting around that by using gv callback, I will take a look into it since I alreadu have pbxes.org account. Thanks.

I seem to be "missing" space on my SD card and I can't figure out what the eff is up. When connected to my PC it shows very little free space (less than 30MB) but when copying all the files to my pc or looking in properties it only has 700 used. I need to put one of my NAND images on it, help...

Here is what happened. I'm new to flashing roms/rooting so bear with me. Had Cyanogen 6.1 stable working flawlessly. Tried installing a theme and got it stuck in a boot loop. I recovered my Nandroid backup and since have been having problems. Mainly the market FCs and so can't get Titanium installed to restore my apps/settings.

I got bright and put my NAND backups on my desktop trying to free some space to make a new one. Bad idea, now there is still hardly and space and I can't load one of my old ones. Any ideas? Is the card dying or is this happened to some of you before? I ordered a new SD card, but it wont be here for a few days. I guess I could limp without all my apps/settings, but I'd prefer not to.
[Droid Incredible General] RMarkwald:
I would copy all of the contents of the SD card to your computer (recommended to do anyways), format the card, boot up the phone, then copy the contents of the SD card from your computer back to the phone.

When I switched SD cards to a 16GB, I tried copying everything to that right away before I had first installed it to the phone, and it wiped the SD card at boot. Lucky I had it backed up on my computer, so I just moved it over and no issue since.

That's my experience.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
I think he's basically saying there is always gonna be something newer and better around the corner. Do some research on the new phone, and weigh out your needs.

If youre happy with your Vibrant, then stick with it. Most people here are gonna tell you Vibrant. I have a feeling things are about to get real exciting development-wise for this phone soon as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Hell no. Basically the Same phone. We'll have gingerbread ported.

Wait for a new dual core, then upgrade
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richiehd:
In one way, buying a Nexus shows Google there is a demand for it- which I hope they realize. We need at least one AOSP phone a year, it's a necessity. However, the Nexus S is a step back from the Vibrant. If we can get AOSP on the Vibe working with 720p and TV-Out and the Samsung codecs (not sure about that last one), the Vibrant will be leaps and bounds better.

Personally, I'm sticking with the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cha0sdsm:
Been playing with nexus s all day its pretty sexy. Got four devices for launch tomorrow, I'm sleeping on the idea to buy it in the morning. It's a really slick device but is it worth it....... Damn I can't deside.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Not upgrading until a Tegra2 based dual core phone WITH SD card slot hits the States. I won't be upgrading to the Nexus S mostly due to the lack of a SD card slot. However. the Nexus S also seems like a downgrade IMO since I could care less about any NFC / FFC and I'll be running Gingerbread soon enough.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobBull69:
I'd wait for a dual core so you at least know that you have the hardware specs to upgrade to Honeycomb down the road. If you have the expendable income to get another phone next year, it is nice to have the updates directly from Google instead of Samsung. I carry my laptop to work every day, so the internal SD isn't such a deal breaker for me. I'm still undecided myself. It's like 75-25 on keeping the Vibrant. Either way, you'll have a nice device:D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronos82:
First off this is not meant to be flaming or what ever just my opinion is about selling a phone to get a new one, obviously people do this all the time, hence this thread...anyways

I personal think it is stupid to sell a phone just to buy a new one, in my experience a phone lasts me 2 years before it starts to fall apart on me and just plane old suck. by that time:

a.)The new and brightest phones are all out and are affordable

b.) since I have been with tmobile basically since time began and usually keep my current phone 6months to a year after contract, they will just give me any phone I ask for for free and a signing of another 2 year contract at my current rate (while at the time of signing the first contract was quite high, now.....well let's just say I pay very little now a days)

anyways good luck with your decisions

and please don't get me wrong, I was thinking about getting the Nexus S for myself soon and handing my girl my vibrant since her contract is up soon and she will be getting a free phone ;D lol
[HD2 General] Halabeaster54:
I've had two phones very similar to both of these; the Samsung captivate and the HD7. I got rid of my captivate for the hd7 but now I want a Android phone again as a second phone. I love the hd2 and I loved the galaxy s. What would be a better phone and why? Don't base your opinions off super amoled I don't miss it its not that big of a deal I've had the standard tft, Apple retina, and s amoled.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
If android is what you're looking for get the vibrant. Root it and load up a rom.
[HD2 General] joe.kerwin:
So you want an android phone as your second phone...the HD2 isn't an android phone. Galaxy S it is then, that was easy.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
He suggested the HD2 because it's capable for running android off the SD card. I could never get it perfect thus why I suggested the Vibrant.

[HTC Aria General] iomega61:
Hello, I just got my unlocked Aria from eBay and when I try to listen music through my headphones it doesn't work. I have tried on my computer and they work just fine. Also the speakers are working just fine. The only way that I can get it to work is by reset the device or turn on the FM radio. I'm using the stock version from att 2.1, with sense. This is getting annoying, please help.

Pd. Sorry for the english.
[HTC Aria General] bobbified:
I've also got a similar issue with the headphone jack.. sometimes, it just won't work.

A soft reset fixes the problem, but it's kinda annoying because the phone takes a while to boot and load everything up!~

It's strange, because upon plugging in the earphones, it automatically "Plays" music without me having to press play.
[HTC Aria General] Darius_bd:
PowerAmp player?
[HTC Aria General] bobbified:
Yesh! Thanks Darius! It was PowerAmp! That solves my auto-play problem.. :)

Still wondering why the headphone jack doesnt work sometimes... :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] theoottesen:
This might have been covered more than once here, but I was just curious why the fix for libaudiopolicy.so hasn't been implemented in most of the roms. If your not sure what I'm talking about, this fix keeps libaudiopolicy from enforcing a maximum volume of 75% when placed into a dock. I take no credit in this fix as the original post is here. I swap this out on every rom that I flash, but I know I'm surely not the only one who finds this to be an issue. If this is in the wrong place please move. Hope this helps someone.

Edit: OOPS!!! I forgot to add the patched file, my bad.

Just extract the rar and push to /system/lib
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
I've been looking for a fix that would work on a current Evo. I've always wondered why ROM makers don't put this in their ROMs as well. It's really annoying for dock users.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theoottesen:
If you need any help just let me know. I like to use Android Commander to rename the old file and the add the new one. After that I just reboot and you're ready to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
I just dropped it in my Android SDK tools folder, set the /system/lib folder to R/W in Root Explorer and pushed it via ADB. Pretty simple process, really.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theoottesen:
That it is, and well worth it. It gets pretty annoying not being able to hear music when I have the windows down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
I have to set my stereo in my at least 10 ticks higher than the radio to get the same volume while plugging my phone into the aux port.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theoottesen:
I still for the life of me can't understand why they would set it up to do that, it's not like there isn't a way to control the volume when using the dock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Saturn2K:
Seriously. And if there was ever a time when I'd want the volume automatically lowered, it would be when I have headphones plugged in. Even then, I like having the option to have it really loud. When it's in a car dock, none of this matters since I have my car's volume knob to change it on the fly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kwajr:
Well if you pump the volume up going into the aux ports on some systems it will be distorted so its best to turn down on phone and use the volume control of radio to adjust this applies any time you use an aux jack with anything
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
That's true sometimes. However, that's not why they lowered the volume by a static 10dB upon plugging the phone into the car dock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theoottesen:
I doubt we will ever know why they actually did this, but it really doesn't matter because we have a fix lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ryan stewart:
Has anyone tested it? I applied it and now when I have the phone in the dock and something in the headphone jack it allows me to change the volume slider but the actual volume of the media stays static.

I saw this by chance while browsing though the HTC.com, however I could't receive any update on my phone. new firmware 3.15.707.3. It seems to be removed from the website after i refresh.

Update: After searching though the forum it seems that 3.15.707.3 were means for HTC Legend, meaning HTC without fail made a mistake again.

Do you mean this update:

Update – HTC Legend Android 2.2 Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update

You can now download the latest software update for new features and improved performance. It won’t delete any of your content and we’d recommend using a Wi-Fi connection as this is a large update. If not, standard data connection charges may apply. Any questions? Contact us via www.htc.com. After installing the update, you can confirm a successful update by confirming the Firmware version (From the Home Screen go to MENU> Settings> About Phone>Software number). The new Software number will be 3.15.405.3. Update Information: Android 2.2 and HTC Sense update Note: We still recommend you back up your all personal data first.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I saw the update today too. But I didn't install it. I'm rooted running a custom ROM.

But the update is way to small to be a completely new ROM. It's only twenty-something MBs. Definitely not the new Sense or Gingerbread. At the end of the update description, it mentions that it's an update to the Market app.
[Desire General] magickiller9:
Yup its for legend, however when HTC upload it, they wrote its for desire... uploading the screenshot now.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Says HTC Legend on the UK site

It's just their build number, not all HTC phones follow the same build sequences

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda_23:
Hi all,

I am having same (or similar) problem, here is how it happened:

- Previous ROM: CM7.1 nightly (based on v2.3.7)

- Flashed to MIUI from neoBuddy89 (but without odin) (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1326764)

- The phone was successfully upgraded, everything was working fine, even the GPS start working which wasn't when I used CM ... for the first day

- The next day, I lost signal connection (week signal) and I couldn't connect to the network anymore. I rebooted, and the phone worked for 1 hours and then lost signal again but this time it wasn't due to week signal

- I rebooted again, when it started I found that baseband/IMEI shows Unknown (I have an efs buckup)

- I read somewhere at xda to turn on/off flight mode which sometime fixes the problem.

- I did turned on flight mode, but when I tried to turn it off it freeze and doesn't exit air plane mode

- tried to reboot, and for no reason, the top panel shows an aircraft but options indicates flight mode as OFF

- I ODIN back to stock but this did not fixed the problem; when it starts baseband/imei both shows unknown and if I turn flight mode ON I cannot exit anymore.

any recommendation on how to fix the problem or the only solution is to buy new phone ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrienspawn:
So I know I'm probably one of very few with one of these faster ones, and I'm wondering if there's an ideal way to format it differently than others?

It's 16GB if that makes a difference. I do install apps on it because I like to leave the SLC area clean, as the less memory it uses, the faster it is (coming from PC experience).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
If you are using apps2sd, ext3 for that partition is best for speed and long term stability. As for the rest, whatever android wants to format it is fine (I think it does fat32 by default).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrienspawn:
(Cool, I'm on Fido)

So I make one partition for the apps Ext3, and the rest for media can be just Fat32. Got it.

Though, when Android wants to format it, there's the choice of "block size" (I think it's called), should it be 128mb? Or smallest for apps and largest for media?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Pretty much. Block size is an in exact science, to say the least. There are real world reasons for one over another. I like smaller since I get less wasted space that way, but it can allow for file corruption if you are re-writing a lot, and smaller blocks take longer to write and read. 128 is a good middle of the road size.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrienspawn:
ROM Manager keeps freezing when it tries to format the card :S

It works fine with Fat32, but if I try to add an "ext" or swap, it goes to that black screen, says ok its good here it goes, but doesn't move past "formatting..".
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Not sure, maybe check in the thread for clockwork? I do all my formatting in terminal, but it has been awhile since I needed to, same 8gb class8 card I have had for awhile now.

The built in player also works fine for me. But it really only supports MP4 video files, if I understand correctly. I use Handbrake and the iPod Touch preset to encode for my Nook.

The built-in player outperforms RockPlayer, which has some audio sync issues.

I use the iPod Touch preset in Handbrake, but I bump the resolution up to 720 x ???, turn off Anamorphic, and set a constant video bitrate of 800kbps and an audio bitrate of 80kbps.

Works well for me. Speed Racer looks gorgeous on this screen.
