[Nexus S General] Mactagonist:
At&t does not use 3g on 1900mhz everywhere. In fact, a major AT&T initiative in the past few years was to move 3g to the 850 band everywhere possible in order to enhance indoor signal strength.

A phone that can only do 3g on 1900mhz is not a nationwide solution for AT&T, coverage is quite hit or miss.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Check the nexus s specs again. It does not have 1900mHz 3g in any form at all like the vibrant.

It only has 900, 1700, 2100.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Re-read my post, and the post I was responding to again.

I never said that the Nexus S supports 850/900, I was telling a guy who said Samsung didn't know how to make such a phone that he was incorrect because Samsung has already made such a phone (the Vibrant which supports both AWS/1700/1900/2100 on the UMTS side).

Ironic that you're telling me to re-read something when you should have done the same before correcting me. :D

Peace!
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yes, I'm well aware of this, but if you're in any major metro area where AT&T has been offering 3G service for a couple of years or more, 1900 is likely available to you. 850 is in far fewer areas, isn't it? It's only a recent addition to San Francisco as I recall.

1900 support in the Nexus S would have made it much more attractive to me, and a viable AT&T alternative for many across much of the country, but I'll concede that 850/1900 would be necessary to address the whole nation.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
I see I mis read your post thinking it meant it had 1900.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
I installed an energy rom recently on my HD2, one of the early december ones. After installing it I noticed that it has changed my initial spash screen.

I have an HD2 branded o2. Before I installed the rom the phone turned on, you saw the O2 splash screen and then the R G D details down on the bottom left and then it booted into windows. Now after a while I descided to restore the orgional O2 1.72 image on my phone. I restored it by using the leoimg.nbh trick.

Everything is fine with the phone but now when I turn the phone on I now get two splash screens. I get the initial O2 screen as expected, but now it changes to the white HTC screen and displays the R G D details in the bottom left.

Is there any way to sort this out so that it only shows the O2 splash screen, I am worried that if I need to take the phone back, even with hard SPL uninstalled they will not fx it and say it is out of warenty.

Any help would be appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
read the 'watermark your leo' link in my sig.

It is a little bit naughty of chefs to include a secondary splashscreen, because they are not removed by flashing stock roms. I had to send mine back to o2 too, and had to make a fake o2 2nd splash to make it look like one long single splash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
Hey do you have a copy of your custom splash screen I could use?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
sorry, i didn't save it, and to be honest it wasn't really the correct one. i couldn't find the hd2 stock image, and failed to extract it from the stock rom, so i made my own from a generic o2 bubbles image and flashed it to 1st and 2nd splash. wasn't the right pic but nothing was said.

[Desire General] Kalavere:
Have you tried to re-root the phone?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
If you rooted using unrevoked, just hold vol down and power when the device is off, and choose recovery from the menu, rom manager uses a fake flash method and isnt needed if you have a custom recovery installed
[Desire General] itayzo27:
well thats the problem i cant go to recovery via hboot only via rom manager

i used this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618

i think its a problem with the slcd screen root....

anyone encounter this problem ????

btw i have hboot 0.83.0001

help!!!!

plz.
[Desire General] mikep99:
i noticed you quoted "Clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1".

is this correct?

this seems like an old version - have you tried 2.5.0.7? i have used this with no problems.
[Desire General] itayzo27:
yea its correct thats what i got from the guide for the slcd rood on the unrevoked way

do i need to root it again with an newer version of the custom img on the unrevoked

or just try to flash a zip file from the recovery ?

btw where can i get it ? can u post a link plz ?

thnx
[Desire General] Lennyz1988:
Download amon-ra recovery, can be found in the android development section. Then boot up your phone and load unrevoked. Within unrevoked select custom recovery and select amon ra. Problems solved :)

/edit link to amon ra http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9207011&postcount=1

Works! thnx man

with amon-ra

i dident try the clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 because i dident find an active link to download from....

the only thing that sucks is that i cant use the Vol +/- to switch options only the trackball.

but thats another problem.... :)
[Desire General] Kalavere:
2.5.1.8 is actually the latest ClockworkMod Recovery. Here is the latest update, I believe it was updated early last month. I know you now have Amon-RA, but I'll put it here for anyone else who may happen to stumble across this thread looking for help. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoZm X:
Hey guys,

To start off I know this is MY fault, as I was trying the FFC MOD on my Vibrant.. I didn't go through with it, (just as far as taking off the paint with the Goo-Gone), I did not apply the FFC nor do I have one available, but when taking pictures and videos with my default Vibrant camera, It looks UBER-blurry especially around the edges. Obviously I messed it up, may have been the Goo-Gone slip into the camera itself, idk.

I have no insurance on my phone :(

My phone ALSO does NOT vibrate for some weird reason... I remember it almost never used to.. When I first bought it I did but months after i never really paid attention to so I really don't know what the cause of that would or could be.

ANY FIX's? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
Make sure that your camera lense has nothing in it, no gook no left over garbage and make sure you clean that area really well. Also try reflashing your firmware, and also post in the main thread for FFC, you'll get better help there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoZm X:

But I will repost in the FFC thread. Thank you though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt_seven:
Hi,

I'll get my new Desire HD this week. I had a nokia 5800 before. What should I know about Android and the Deisre HD.

Wich apps should I install?

What are the most important apps?

What are the differences between the hacking and modding of Nokia devices and Android devices?

Thanks for your answers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xp79:
Coming from an identical scenario as yourself (Nokia 5800XM -> Desire HD). There are many things I noticed from Symbian to android, mainly the larger support for applications (No more signing unverified apps!) and better web browsing.

For apps, most web browsers from Symbian OS such as Opera and skyfire are available!

For apps check out appbrain.com, seems more reliable than the app store.

For modding (also known as rooting in the android world) customising an android phone is about 100x easier, there's no certificates to trick and there's a much bigger user base.

I hated my Nokia 5800, most unreliable gadget I ever owned claiming 3 on my insurance for hardware / software problems.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hello & welcome.

Depending on how you use your Desire HD (DHD), will decide what apps you should have.

Must haves for me are,

*FREE*

- Juice Defender - It will try to minimise the drain on your battery by intelligently turning data on/off

- SMS Backup + - Backs up your SMS, MMS & Call logs to your GMail account.

- XDA - These forums on your DHD, perfect.

- PhoneMarks - Sync's your bookmarks in chrome to your DHD.

- Last.fm - Excellent personalised radio.

- Dropbox - Sync files from practically anywhere, to anything.

- Linda File Manager - Manage files on your DHD & SD card.

- LauncherPro - Alternative Home screen interface, lots of customisation available.

*PAID*

- Ultimate Juice - Paid addon for Juice Defender, more customisation available.

- Better Keyboard - Alternative keyboard, IMO best keyboard available.

*ROOTED*

- Titanium Backup - Backs up apps to your SD card & Dropbox, also removes apps. Donate/Paid version available.

- AdFree Android - Stops those annoying in-app adverts.

With those apps you should not run into any problems.

As for the whole Android experience, its entirely what you want it to be. If your happy with HTC Sense, you've got yourself a great handset. If your into trying something new, cutting edge (atleast with Android) then your in great company.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossysaurus:
certainly get dropbox. massively useful.

angry birds is a must

i ASTRO file manager instead of linda, but ive not tried linda.

app 2 sd is useful since the DHD has little internal memory.

GPS test: useful for getting the GPS to work the first time (might take 45 minutes to get its first lock, but then less than 3 minutes thereafter. doesnt seem to know what side of the world to look at the first use)

sketch online is great fun. simple fun.

switchpro widget will help you save battery by letting you turn your 3g off, but it costs 68 pence.

teeter is a free version of labyrinth, the marble maze game.

uninstaller is useful since the inbuilt one is slow and useless.

yell.com

i would advise you use the stock HTC sense UI before loading launcher pro or anything. im still using sense simply because it does everything i want it to do.

i had an n96 before this (the most unsupported phone EVER) and rooting my DHD was so easy in comparason. visionary+ is what i used, but look for a guide.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt_seven:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xp79:
Assuming your from the UK, where did you get yours?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
I recommend a decent Backup app. So once you've entered all of your contacts or appointments or settings - you can save them on your sdcard for a rainy day/new rom etc.

I've been using the trial of MyBackupPro for the past couple of weeks. There might be better ones but I haven't tried any yet.

Its better if you didn't, it sounds appealing that it'll get rid of all the lag on the phone with one click, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. If you want to get rid of lag on the phone install one of the latest jpx or jpy roms.

But I only hit 1600 on quadrant standards.... I use to hit up to 2100
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicman0:
DONT USE QUADRANT!!

The OCLF tricks Quadrant into giving it a much higher score than it should really give because of the way the lagfix is set up.

The quadrant score you are getting now is perfectly normal with voodoo. And also, in REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE, voodoo is MUCH better than OCLF.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
If all you care about is quadrant scores then install setiron's kernel with jfs/ext2 loopback, you'll get these scores...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:
to tell a guy not to use quadrant is ridiculous.

no it is not realistically showing real performance, but at least explain why.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Quadrant is specifically designed for other processors/hardware. (i.e. Snapdragon processors)

Samsung like everything else is different - with the Hummingbird processor your not getting a "true" reading as Quadrant isn't optimized for our type of phones.

So you can get readings all over the map.... The only way to truly know how your phone is running with a lagfix applied is to use it.. does it seem "snappy"?

And... just to prove a point. I was running the OTA JH7 Stock 2.1 Eclair ROM with just Root and the OCLF and was getting scores close to 1900-2000 with Quadrant.

hi, i have an S2 I9100P, Siyah kernel 5.01, ICS 4.0.4 AND I HAVE NEVER FLASHED THE ROM.

Finally do you have a solution for this? Thanks in advance, have a great day!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
1) You posted in a two year old dead thread

2) You're using the app on a phone other then what it was intended for

3) Eclair and Froyo were Android 2.1 and 2.2, respectively.

4) You should really go to the Galaxy S2 forums to ask, but I'm pretty sure you don't need a lagfix anymore for any reason.

Not sure why u posted in the Captivate forum instead of a forum for your phone...and also not sure why u would want to try the oclf with ur s2. :confused:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
That'll be the Pentile matrix, doesn't bother most people.

Unless you have it really bad, then it might be a bad one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
Pentile RGBG matrix... effective resolution is lower than RGB. Comparing it to an iPhone 4 screen with even higher RGB resolution makes it look worse... so I suggest switching to a phone that has an RGB LCD like the MT4G or something if you don't want to deal with the pixelation. Also, the screen being 4" doesn't help... compared to a condensed 3.5" iPhone display.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /rant/:
That's also why I thought 4"+ was too big for 800x480 (S-)AMOLED. I was actually surprised for Samsung keeping that resolution.

Still, at such resolutions, I value vibrant colors more than higher resolution like on the iPhone 4.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptCaveman:
Thanks for the info. It seems what's getting me is that images and apps aren't all made for the high res screen. So some look horrible, others don't.

SO I guess the lack of a standard, like iphone, makes not all apps equal.

You may have a duff one like me. The text on my Galaxy S is very well defined but slightly blurry on my Nexus S with a dodgy screen. Does your screen look a little greeny / yellow when viewed from an angle?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Unless its really bad blurry, its most likely just the pentile sub pixel layout all Samsung amoled screens have, which causes text to look just ever so slightly fuzzy compared to traditional lcd screens with full 3 pixels. It doesn't bother most people, and It's just a trade off we make for having the nice colors from amoled screens for the time being.

Doesn't bother me one bit. But the larger the screen gets at the same resolution, the more noticeable it gets. Next to my nexus one I can definitely notice it more on the 4 inch than the 3.7inch screen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuyanks:
I have also noticed this "blurry" text, especially small text against a white background, which is almost unreadable. From an angle, the screen also does appear a bit yellowish. This is my first time with a "Galaxy S" phone, so I may just not be used to it... think i have a defective screen? i've been using a Motorola Droid 1 for the past year, fyi...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
No I think your screen is just fine. The amoled pentile is particularly blurry compared to the Droid screen which has text that looks razor sharp. So you're just coming from the device that shows this issue most prominently, that's all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirk1978:
Certainly my Galaxy S with the exact same panel is perfectly readable from many angles.

My Nexus S text is blurry and the screen is yellowish when tilting.
