buy the asian/russian version when it comes out. because it will be SLCD.

you will get what you want.

i like the Super Amoled over the SLCD . i like Ratina over Super Amoled. but to each has his own .
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
So to you SAMOLED > SLCD, but Retina > SAMOLED. You do know that Retina = LCD right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ll_l_x_l_ll:
ofcourse, you understood me wrong. i said the name" retina " because of the pixel density is higher than normal LCDs or SLCDs. but yeah ofcourse i know lol.

Screen Door Effect... WHY GOOGLE/Sammy???

ok, just had a chance to look at the Nexus S... and WTF??? The screen is so pixelated. The screen door effect is horrible. I thought I took a step back in time for a second. The pixelation is soo bad I would never think twice about buying this phone. Why oh why don't these phone makers give the people what they want.

So, Apple comes out with the new retina display, and while it is way too small, it's soo very very very clear. Google's response? This? Come on... WHY? Aren't we suppose to be moving forward? Ok, so it's brighter and uses less power and has a higher refresh rate... WHATS THE POINT IF YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING???? THERE IS NO POINT.

I don't mean to be harsh... I'm not a Nexus hater... I just wish Google would have done a better job for their flagship phone.

Never been happier with my EVO on Cyanogen...

Get it in another country. In many countries it will come with Super Clear LCD, found on the S8530 Wave II. Super Clear LCD is said to have the advantages of Super AMOLED (sunlight visibility, viewing angle), but wheter that's true or not, it's a really nice display. Look it up on the internet, although I have to warn you, you'll lots of people complaining about the screen because the S8500 Wave I had Super AMOLED.

I updated to 3.70 via Fresh 3.5 and now my data speeds on Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G are all much slower. Was averaging 8-10mps on wifi, now getting 1-1.5, on 4G was getting 2-5mbps, now <1 mbps.

The handset itself runs fast and no other problems, just slow data. Anyone?

Sorry Chopper if this is in the wrong place, but I have not seen anyone talk about this. If it is even possible, I just need to know what level of your magic I need to use on my device to get the streaming video to work in any browser.

Thought you were a moderator, not up on forum edicate.

I have two weeks that I will not need my phone, rooting will fix most of the issues I am having but I did not see any specific comments on getting flash 10 working on the Fascinate. Wanted to make sure I had my plan down before I started. Odin recovery was my push. Just wanted to see if the video issue might have been an auto fix in any of the updates or ROMs.

I love you guys......

[Fascinate General] soba49:
Just to be clear, there is no flash 10 plugin support below android 2.2, no way, no how.

If you need it, you can ask sky fire to downcode video for you with their servers, or you can use remote desktop apps to send you images (vector or raster) of your home computer using flash.

Trying to get flash 10 on your fascinate presently will brick it.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
[Fascinate General] MiloK10:
Thanks for the clarification. That was what I thought because of the lack of comments on it.

[Desire Themes and Apps] eil:
I use Exchange, and the stock Android email app is working perfectly. The only problem is that the inbox is grey font on black background which is both hard to read and very ugly!

Long story short: I've tried other mail apps such as Maildroid and K9, but they don't work well with Exchange. Sense mail isn't any good either since I'm on Oxygen (otherwise this is a perfect mail app!). So for the time being I'm using Touchdown, but that's just too much (includes calendar etc), and it doesn't work with Jorte, so I have to use the stock Exchange sync anyhow. Hence I would like to stick with stock email, but then we have the black background...

Does anyone know a way to change the inbox look on the stock mail app? Perhaps someone has a modified apk they would like to share?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
you don't need to use apkmanager or deconstruct/reconstruct apks to mod it (or any other app/widget for that matter).

download ninja morph from the market. you can select the apps from the phone, it will extract them and you can swap .9's inside ninjamorph to theme the apps/widgets.

i know with downloaded apps, you have to have them installed to system/app though. so you may need to move handcent to system/app, then chmod the apk, then reboot before doing the ninja morph.

I ask this because my buddy has upgraded to the newest MIUI build, and now he can send texts, but CANNOT receive them.

But wait! This is not the messed up part. The thing that is boggling our minds is that we did a nandroid restore to several backups, and even flashed CM6 instead, and he still can't get texts.

Any advice?

Check with data support too. That sounds more network related than device related.
[Droid Incredible General] morph3k:
if i recall correctly it is mms.apk that controls texts in /system/apps because once when I deleted it I couldn't send or receive. Since he can receive but not send it seems like some kind of setting within his messaging client. try HandCent SMS or ChompSMS and see if it works.

I'm having an odd problem that I haven't seen yet. I'm hoping I don't have a hardware issue. =(

When I send photos taken with my Nexus S via mms or upload directly to facebook, it seems like the rotation information is being stripped from the jpg.

I know the rotation information is properly embedded in the file because if I email the photo it is shown rotated properly wherever I view it...

It's not a show stopper, it's just annoying as heck. Has anyone else seen this phenomena? Is there a setting somewhere that maybe I fubared?

As far as I know, it's always been this way. It was on my Vibrant, anyhow. It would certainly be nice to get it fixed, but I think that's on the developers of the apps that use those pictures, unless it's a problem with the camera/gallery software somehow.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
It's not on the developers at all. This never happened on the Nexus One with Facebook or MMS, so It's Samsung's bad because it happens on Galaxy S phones too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Until now Voodoo lagfix and tools required to be built from sources: https://github.com/project-voodoo/lagfix

As it's still the preferred and most powerful method, a much easier one exist now.

HOWTO:

1/ Pick your initramfs (ramdisk)

downloads / voodoo initramfs list

This directory contains ready-to-use initramfs for a lot of models and Firmware/Kernel versions.

full-uncompressed.cpio.gz is the recommended option. you can also gunzip it or recompress the .cpio to lzma

full-lzma-loader.cpio.gz allow you to build smaller kernels for Eclair, at the expense of loading time.

Benefit of using direct .cpio images is that you don't have to worry about permissions.

2/ Make menuconfig

General setup --->

[*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support

(/choose/your/full-uncompressed.cpio.gz) Initramfs source file(s)

Make sure you also enabled the Ext4 driver in

File systems --->

<*> The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem

Exit

3/ Build the kernel

nice -n 20 make -j8

Congratulations !

You now have a Voodoo able kernel :)

And if your Captivate boots, you don't need button combinations to enter download mode. You need to download the SDK, put the Captivate in a USB debug mode, and then do "adb reboot download" to get there.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Why don't you just do a factory reset and delete your files from the phone ?

If your unable to just go in download mode and use the Odin one-click then you clearly need to spend more time reading. This is also a big red flag that you could turn your phone (effortlessly) into a brick.

Your choices are:

A) Read up, learn and invest time in it (not just 30min and a simple how-to then jump the guns with it)

B) Just delete your stuff, do a factory reset and sell it like it is.

A more tech savvy user will mod it to its liking. Why do the job for them if your not confortable doing it in the first place? It's not like your going to use it again, your selling it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Yup I agree - if you already have a Stock phone - don't screw with it. Just do the factory reset which will wipe the phone back to stock anyways - and if you want to go that extra step you could format the internal SDCard from within the phone menu.

If it aint broke - don't play with it! (Well my real motto is If it ain't broke tweak it! but.. for you it doesn't apply)

Anyway, i haven't given up completely. I am gonna try all this again. I just don't have Hours upon Hours to define all the stuff that I'm reading. I am just surprised how difficult it is to make this thing anywhere near the same level as an iPhone. I'm sure it's easy for most. Maybe I'll figure it out....

It's not that hard but yes your spoiled :p. It's not like going to a website and bingo it's done like the jailbraiking on iphone. You actually do the commands manually and learn something in the process.

You also need the corresponding tools to do the job (Google SDK for ADB, Odin for flashing, etc..). You don't build a house only by looking at the blue prints you have to put some work into it :)

[Droid 2 General] droid2user2010:

[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Root puts three or four files on your phone and runs an exploit to get superuser or "root" access then one of those programs keeps root and the other helps do root activities like with the shell. So adding a few files to your phone will not ruin your setup.

Now the things you do to your phone after you get root may mess up your current configuration so the question is do you really need root?

[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You are correct since you really like your current config might I suggest as soon as you root you install koush's bootstrap and install it and go into recovery and make a backup before you remove apps either with root explorer, terminal emulator etc. That way if something does go wrong while you tweak you can always restore the backup you made. Instructions for all of this is in the forums or google.

The froyo firmwares come with 3e recovery which only allows that signed update files be applied. The easiest thing to is flash a rom that states it includes 2e recovery or flash a kernel that states the same. For example, I flashed speedmod kernel.
