[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Also if i press Format SD Card, what will happen?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
please help me out here guys!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
NVM i formatted it and all my crap on the thing is gone, now it feels like starting over, AHH good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzatlacael:
That's maaad weird.

But if you plugged into USB storage mode and if you see that's showing the right storage size properties, then that must be bug of the rom you're using.

Edit: You should have made a backup, before. Althought maybe it wouldn't have worked :P
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Probably because the rom. I imagine it's reading the external_sd folder space and lumping it with the internal since that folder is in the sdcard tree: sdcard/external_sd where it used to be the external was "sd"... Just a guess.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
No I formatted on purpose I saved music files before doing it.

Somehow it feels way snappier!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MTSDAN:
I have the same issue ..how did you format the internal storage?and after formating did the you get more space on internal sd?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
DO NOT FORMAT IT, after i did, i experienced SO MANY ISSUES because on my internal i had a bunch of things that apps depended on.

If you don't mind ODIN and going to JFD then do it.

Do this if your going to ODIN, its worth it.

Settings > SD Card and Phone Storage > Format (forgot which one) then you'll get all the space back then ODIN back to STOCK then it'll put all the files you need back on there, and you'll be good.

DONT just delete it and think your all good,

in your internal theres the update.zip which made me pull my pubic hair out (literally)

IF you dont want to do it, which i don't recommend, just go to settings > sd CARD AND PHOEN STORAGE > and click format on SD CARD or PHONE STORAGE and click confirm, and it'll be done.

This is the Dialer for 2.1 for anyone who has changed there density and hate the way the dialer look. This was just a quick workup to get the basics going.

STILL NEEDS WORK AND I PLAN ON RELEASING UPDATES

To make it compatible was a lot more then I expected and some things still need to be kinked out but this is much better then the stock one.

THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON A FASCINATE (may work on other phones) AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY COME OF THIS FILE.

Now here is the file

Dialer Download

Oh yeah, flash in CWM or ADB push the file to /system/app
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Wow, this seems promissing!! I tried to install it on a Froyo Galaxy S. Unfortunately it is force closing. I looked at the log, and I got a "method not found error". So I think it is incompatible with Froyo.

Can you tell us what you did? Or better yet, can you do also a Froyo version.

BTW I think one has to backyup and delete the DialerTabActivity.odex file from the system directory for this to work.
[Android Apps and Games] shauder:
This is a Deodexed version from the Fascinate (DJ05) and will probably will not work on FroYo.

Basically I took all of the absolute layout dimensions in the APK xml files and made the layout fluid (changing "150.0576DIP" to "fill_parent" or "content_wrap".
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
And it does work on your phone? Can you post a screenshot?

So I guess all that has to be done is to decompile a deodexed Froyo version and replace the layout files with the ones you made. Or?
[Android Apps and Games] shauder:
Its a rough version still but here you go. This is from 240 to 191 then also at 120 Density
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
This is great! Finally a solution. If I get you a deodexed dialer from the Galaxy S Froyo version, can you modify that one also? I will do the testing.
[Android Apps and Games] shauder:
I could see what I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Thanks, I've attached a deodexed version to this post.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tequilapr:
Hi, I have a little problem here. I root my phone with UnrEVOked3, but I never use the UnrEVOked Forever, so I follow a simple unroot guide found here, and the guide say that if you don't use UnrEVOked forever you don't need to flash the s-on tool and skip to flash the PC36IMG.zip. So I did that and everything was fine but I have the s-off so, this is normal or I did something wrong.

** Ok nevermind I found that when you use Unrevoked3 at the end of the root process flash Unrevoked forever, so I root again and flash the s-on tool problem solve, please Delete this Post.
[Focus General] stumlad:
I have an unlocked Focus that I'm trying to get working with my 9.99 unlimited web plan on TMobile. It works fine with my iphone using the internet2.voicestream.com apn, but when i try browsing the web on my focus, it brings me to a page that says i don't have a web plan. I have also tried wap.voicestream.com and epc.tmobile.com. The strange thing is, I got it working for a few hours with internet2.voicestream.com using a username of voicestream with no pw, but that stopped working, and re-attempts have not helped.

Is there a known issue with the focus getting internet access on tmobile?
[Focus General] llanyort:

[EVO 4G General] XxsydenxX:
I have a loose micro usb port on my evo, it only charges a certain way..have to position it just right and wrap the cord around the phone. You can imagine how annoying this becomes...

Im afraid to switch to a new evo because im rooted...And really would not want to go through the process of rooting a new model..i hear its a hassle really..to get s-off.

So im thinking of using a service online to get my evo repaired...

What do you guys suggest D:?
[EVO 4G General] dakidobf:
I had the sane issue and took mine in and got a replacement. If you have insurance its free or at the most it will be $35. Its a sure bet while the online repair is not.

I feel like a new root will be out before you know it.
[EVO 4G General] XxsydenxX:
Problem is i cant stand sense >___>;
[EVO 4G General] Ebnykween:
Looks Like I am headed for a replacement myself. :(
[EVO 4G General] JohnFail:
I'm in the same boat in not really liking Sense. If all else fails, you can install the stock 2.2 launcher and use that rather than Sense instead of rooting. You'll still have some Sense elements, but it isn't nearly as in your face.
[EVO 4G General] elmo24:
Yeah I had the exact same problem with my 1st evo but after awhile it stopped charging all together so don't wait to long to replace it mine was such a hassle to get a new one the reps kept saying I damaged it but called sprint and they ordered a new one for me the next day
[EVO 4G General] J3STUR:
My charging port just went bad, took it up the sprint store and they said it was physical damage and i have to pay 100, iv had the evo since release day, i didn't do anything wrong and it started going bad, call sprint and talked to like 3 reps and a supervisor and they said if the sprint store said it was physical damage then you will have to pay 100 for a new one, I think this is more wear and tear or manufacture defect. I bought an external battery charger until next pay day but I think sprint should replace it for free, I have total protection insurance and I'm a premier customer
[EVO 4G General] TheMatrixx:
I've heard many, many people getting it fixed for free, as it is a fairly widely known defect affecting some EVOs. I'd try another repair center, or else go to a independent store, they're usually more lenient, especially for intermittent issues.

If they insist it's user damage, ask them how they differentiate that from the defective connector/solder joint issue plaguing many models in your hw rev? Unless you have obvious massive, smashed damage to your port, they can't, and they're just shirking off shoddy manufacturing onto you. :mad:
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
+1 sounds like you need to try another sprint store. I have a feeling they vary from place to place. Take for instance me, I dropped my evo and got some gashes in the face plate but all else is fine. I went to a repair center near me and the guy told me he didn't have the parts to fix it but he could just order me another one. I said no thanks I didn't want to change it, went to another place and they said it will cost me 35 bucks to fix because it is cosmetic damage and not covered under the protection plan.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] terzer:
Hello,

today l recieved the Desire HD, l'm the happiest man alive :D

l have an idea. Is there an app, which can wake up the phone from standby using the accelerometer? l mean, when the phone is on a table and it is in standby, when l grab it and move it to wake it? l would like such app, because the power button is not really comfortable. Аnd when you put it manually in standby (push the power button) to be able to wake it only with another push (as when in the pocket the phone will be always on).

Thanks!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] turkez:
+1 good idea, i wonder if there's anything out there..

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] akn78:
+1 REALLY Good idea!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dashrink:
1 thing missing. The app should use the proximity sensor. I don't want it to wake whilst in my pocket :-)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Aamir.Badat:
+1 for that!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] terzer:
That's why l suggested when you turn the standby with the power button, to be able to wake it only with the power button. Then when you walk, it will not turn on when in your pocket.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycs:
Anyone know of any apps that can backup and restore which contacts are linked? Linking my Facebook and Gmail contacts is one of the most tedious parts of getting my phone setup after flashing a new ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalsing:
If you use Titanium Backup, after you've re-synced your gmail/Facebook/etc. contacts, restore the "[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage", reboot and done.

This of course assumes you also back this same setting up prior to wiping/loading a new ROM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanmaper:
Backup from Gingerbread and restoring in Froyo works?

Edit: I dont know if it was this or the google backup but it work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninor9:
My guess is that it was the Google Restore. I save all of my contacts to the server, so that when I reflash Roms I don't lose those.

I think under Contacts>Menu Button >Accounts, as long as your Auto-Sync is on you should never lose any contacts and should be able to easily restore.

Hi there, i was trying to run Debian on my pro, but i cant install it! i try two methods, the Linux installer Beta 1.7 (say kernel dosnt have ext and loop support) and the SU terminal emulator way (cant chmod to 4755 any file, even using the su command - from here: http://www.talkandroid.com/android-forums/android-development/1091-install-debian-android.html )...

My pro is ROOTED with latest z4root, i even do a factory repair with pc companion...

Any advice???

Regards!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
I tried this as well... no loop is no loop ( required for chroot type runs )

works on a Samsung i5700 I have at work tho...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolframio74:
thnx for the reply, so i can add loop and the ext thing? or we need a custom kernel? , what rom have the samsung?, in other hand i dont know why i cant chmod the files, even using root explorer! regards...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
needs a new kernel yes.

i5700 is running samdroid cooked ( forget which version, but added multitouch )
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolframio74:
damn :/

now why i cant chmod the files using su terminal emulator or root explorer? maybe is because my sdcard is formated in fat32, regards!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
fat32 knows nothing about *nix style permissions, in a way though... all files on a fat32 are set 0777, but not really... heh
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RobbH:
For what it's worth, I've just had Debian running in a chroot on my X10 Mini Pro, using the instructions at talkandroid.com, as mentioned by the original poster. Sorry, but as a new poster, I'm not allowed to link directly to those directions. This is with stock ROM, upgraded to Android 2.1, rooted with SuperOneClick.

A few modifications are necessary to make it work. I'm going to try to describe what I've done, but I am working backwards, so it's entirely possible that I'll leave something out and you could suffer disastrous consequences. So please be sure you back up all crucial data before proceeding, and be prepared to accept the possibility that your phone could be destroyed in the process.

First of all, the instructions tell you to run scripts from your SD card, which isn't going to work unless the card has a partition with a Linux-compatible file system. I suggest following the directions as far as step 4. Then replace the "bootdeb" file in the "debian" directory with the modified version attached to this post. Rename it "bootdeb". Then you will have to run the following commands manually, preferably using adb shell, but it can be done in a terminal on the phone. Either way, using the ash shell helps by providing command completion and history.

As root (su):

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
mkdir /data/local/mnt
cd /sdcard/debian
cp bootdeb /data/local/bin #note: you may need to mkdir /data/local/bin first
cd /data/local/bin/
chmod 4777 bootdeb

You should now be able to run the bootdeb script to start up Debian.

The installation file says, "Be sure to run /scripts/onetime.sh as root from the shell after your FIRST 'boot'." This will prompt you to set a root password.

At this point, the Debian installation is command line only and root only. The image file needs to be resized before much can be added.

The other files in the Debian directory may be useful, but they all need to be modified before they can be used.

This is only a beginning. I don't know that I'm likely to get very far with it, so anyone else who's inclined to jump in and make this work better is welcome to do so!

edit: correcting grammatical error
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RobbH:
Just in case anyone else shares my obsession -- I mean interest in getting Debian to run on an X10 Mini Pro, I thought I should report my progress. Or lack thereof.

Actually, as I said in the previous post, command line Debian works, and that's a lot of power to have available. But it would be nice to get X working, despite the lack of video drivers.

There's a lot of information out there about setting up X with a VNC server on an Android phone, then running a VNC client to access the graphic environment. The source of most accounts seems to be a thread at the androidfanatic forums, with the title "Gnome, KDE, IceWM or LXDE Desktop on your Android!"

(Sorry, I'm still too new at this to be allowed to post links, so this is the only way I can indicate where to find the information.)

I've tried lots of variations on those directions, trying to adapt them to the X10 Mini Pro. And I've had a little success. I can get to the Icewm or LXDE desktop and run the terminal program, but I can't start any programs that use X. Invariably, I get this error:

Error: Can't open display: :1.0

I've run out of ideas, so I'm taking a break from the project. If anyone else is interested enough to try, good luck to you!

For what it's worth, the most recent and comprehensive account of running Debian with X on Android phones appears to be at lanrat.com, in the "android" directory, filename "debian".

[Captivate General] YoungGun821:

[Captivate General] psufan5:
So I completely bricked my captivate. I couldnt recover any image from backup (it wouldnt help anything), couldnt do much of anything. Tried to wipe / factory reset, didnt do anything. My phone was completely corrupted so I tried to run Odin on it. I ran the program and it set my phone back to a 2.1 which was booting fine. Rooted the phone again, ran Clockwork and was getting an error trying to flash the clockwork image to my phone.

Then it went all down hill...

Phone went completely dead not able to get into download, recovery, or any mode. Just sat at the AT&T World Phone screen and never did anything. The repair guy said my phone died but I think it was something I did... Luckily he replaced the phone free since its under the 1 year warranty.

Question is... what could I have possibly done to do this? Is there any way to remedy this if you cant even get into recovery mode?

Also - in the clockwork recovery when I wipe data etc.. why doesn't it actually wipe anything? All my apps were still there when I rebooted etc... (before the phone was hosed beyond repair lol).

Thanks.

2nd Report here 12/19/10: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9939308&postcount=43

Hi, I know many of you are considering or at least curious about the Nexus S. Admittedly one day is hardly any time to play with a phone properly, I don't even think a week is enough, but here are some things that I would like to point out.

1) Screen is beautiful. I can't even explain how good it is. I've played with a friend's fascinate before, and playing with it vs having it for a whole day are 2 different things. I've had my N1 with me the whole time and I have to say the screen is just a night and day difference.

2) I've not noticed *any* speed increase in any possible way on this phone. I use Enom's ROM on my N1 which as you know is a stock based ROM, with Launcher Pro, and nothing is faster on the NS as far as I've noticed. Going from app to app, going to home screen, swiping between home screens. Which may be moot because nothing opens "slow" on my N1 that I've ever had a problem with.

3) Browser has not improved a BIT! I was thinking with the hummingbird processor and the amazing GPU that the NS has that there would be significant improvement in browsing. None whatsoever. Pages don't load any faster than on my N1, and more disturbingly Flash content also doesn't work ANY better. On high quality flash content, it still chugs just as much as the N1 does. This is the main reason why my phone may be going back before the 30 days are up.

4) NoLed is a life saver, but it's no replacement for trackball notifications.

5) Battery life and signal strength do seem to be a bit better on the NS.

6) GPS doesn't have any problems as far as I can tell. I've used it twice today and it's obtained a lock in the same amount of time the N1 takes.

7) Tried 2 games, dot2 and angry birds. AB seems to run a little smoother on the NS, dot2 seems to run worse :S

Overall, the lack of any real performance increase (save for the app drawer, which is the ONLY place I've noticed it), I'm most likely going to return the phone to Best Buy and just get it used when it's a lot cheaper on craigslist.

I hope this information is helpful.
[Nexus One General] tr.slate:
Man, I was really hoping the NS browser would be better. Having Flash content on Android is great, but still has its issues.

How much better is the multi-touch? Thats my main complaint with the N1. I get a lot of miss touches and double hits, especially when using the kb at times.

BTW, could you post some shots of the N1 and MS screens side by side, or maybe a video of them running the same apps where you see increased performance on one or the other?
[Nexus One General] descendency:
Flash still has desktop issues, how would it ever get good performance on a 4" inch device. (For example, a certain Wendy's Advert makes my cursor blink in an annoying fashion until I close that page) Flash is just lucky the alternatives are not nearly developed enough.

I have a feeling Google is going to regret the Nexus S after they see the LG Optimus X2. There is just no reason to buy a Nexus S when you could have had a dual core, better GPU based phone.
[Nexus One General] boodies:
I think flash being slow has mostly to do with adobes crappy flash not htc or samsung. And I find it hard to believe there is no performance increase. This is by far the fastest / best android phone to get. Not sure if it's worth the upgrade for me being a vibrant owner.
[Nexus One General] dezshiz:
Guys... if you have done any research u should know that the GPU in the Galaxy S phones is faster than the GPU in the LG Optimus X2...
[Nexus One General] WickedStyx:
If anyone is on the fence about this or waiting for Tegra 2, Flash works amazingly on the Viewsonic gtab with Tegra 2. Despite the fact that the device is very young and unoptimised it plays every flash video I have thrown at it perfectly smooth. Even fast paced action videos like surfing and downhill mountain biking. Full screen or embedded in the webpage at any zoom level and at higher resolution than the Nexus S too (1024x600).

The same flash videos play at about 12fps on the Nexus One and Captivate. The Captivate with JPU rom is a little faster and smoother at everything else at the moment though.

The browser in Galaxy S JPU rom seems far smoother than the one on the Nexus S from all the videos I've seen. Strange they haven't ported the improvements over to it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the browser on the gTablet isn't any better than the N1 aside from Flash.
[Nexus One General] miketlo:
You should remember that not all the apps/games have had the chance to incorporate all the new APIs yet. The devs need to update their apps first.
