Hello guys, I have a problem here. It seems that whenever I use internet on my desire HD, my network does not automatically connect. I have to manually turn on the mobile network in settings. Do u guys have this problem or which anyone can help?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
If I understand you correctly you need to check the box for "always-on" data. Go to: MENU->SETTINGS->WIRELESS & NETWORKS->MOBILE NETWORKS->ENABLE ALWAYS-ON MOBILE DATA.

If you already have that checked I'm not sure what else is causing your data to not be always on, or are you talking about your wi-fi connection?

For that follow path to wireless & networks, but then go to: WI-FI SETTINGS->MENU (soft key by home button)->ADVANCED->WI-FI SLEEP POLICY->(select)NEVER.

I had the same problem.

I had to get a new sim because my old one was 10 years old and wasn't fully compatible with my new phone. It re-sent out over 500 texts from my outbox.

I had to ring my service provider. They said my sim card had a old vault version

Is there a way to get the music controller on AOSP lock screen?

I've installed DOC v6 JPX ROM over JP8 Orange ROM. After that, I've installed the AOSP found in the first post of DOC'sROM.

I have the stock music player and I don't have the controllers on the lock screen when playing music.

Can someone assist?

thanks

as far as i know there is no solution for this if you are using the stock samsung music player.

you can use other music players such as winamp and there was another one i can't remember and they will have play controls on your aosp lockscreen.

Hello, I've got a HTC Legend and am interested in rooting and flashing a new ROM.

I'm deciding between Modaco's custom ROM (with Sense) and Cyanogen.

I've had a look around but just wanted to see if some people know of some alternatives I haven't seen already. Cyanogen has some great features and it'd be awesome if I could find some good replacements.

I already use alternative launcher (Launcher Pro), music player (Power Amp), and widgets are no problem.

Main things I like from HTC Sense are the apps:

Dialer/Contacts - look really nice, smart dialer is great, contacts works well with linking contacts and synchronising with facebook etc. Pretty interface

Have tried DialerOne but I don't like how you can't change the colour of the buttons and doesn't deal with contacts as well as Sense

Also a bit off topic but I noticed that while DialerOne replaces the Dialer app, when I make a call through DialerOne it still uses the Sense "Phone" part to make the call. What does the Cyanogen 'Phone" part look like and what are some alternatives of this?

Clock app - with the different tabs down the bottom for Alarm, Stopwatch, world times, etc

Photos app - however I could replace with 3D Gallery on CM if it isn't too laggy.

Lockscreen - really smooth and cool effect how it slides down and has status indicators on it like battery low, flight mode, missed calls etc.

I have looked at WidgetLocker and it has some features which would be convient but it doesn't work perfectly, like it goes to Sense lockscreen for a second then to Widget Locker. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Is it not a problem on Cyanogen? And the Sense-style slide bar on Widget Locker is bad compared to real Sense one.

So yeah any advice/recommendations would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] Calico5:
The best advice would be to try out both and see which one suit you best ;)

I use a variant of Cyanogen 6.1 and love it! A note on some of the things you mentioned:

Dialer one is complete rubbish! Lags waay to much, and looks quite ugly imo. I would suggest getting youlu address book. I was blown away by the speed off this app! and the interface is sweet... along with a handy widget! Highly recommendable.

The facebook integration has never been great on cyanogen ROMs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Main problem is contact pictures syncing. I think that may be due to a problem with launcher pro, but in my opinion Launcher Pro Plus is the best launcher out! Hopefully the re-write of the code (due January) will fix this. In the meantime you can get an app called syncmypix as a workaround.

The 3D gallery is slow on my GSM Hero.. works great on faster devices! QuickPic is a great alternative for slower devices

Hi guys i'm new here... i decided to register hoping that you might help me.

Yesterday i've update my wildfire with froyo but there're problems: i'm using app2sd to move apps on SD but when i restart my phone all the apps i moved seems are not installed and i've to wait like 5 minutes to use them.

Another problem is that if i use the "phone keypad" there are no stress marks and now i have to use qwerty.

After the update my phone is unable to run Camera 360 pro. I need this app to take photo why if i use the regular camera app foto are always a bit out of focus :/

[Galaxy 3 General] kenblat:
Dear all user i580x that rooted pls help post your mount result as a picture

here is mine which lost IMEI, and i can't see the /efs mounted anymore

And it'll be greatfull if you guys can even share me your origin /efs folder (without nv_data.bin offcourse). Mr. Qbanin @ samdroid.net can help us for the nv_data.bin fixed, but only copy this file can't revise G3s IMEI...

Pls help and we can find out the 100% method for restore IMEI @ our phone in the future. so we can do the flashing freely without worry losing our precious IMEI anymore.

Many Thanks and Best Regards
[Galaxy 3 General] ElliotJH:
From a thread about the Galaxy S it seems that the IMEI is stored in encrypted form in a file called nv_data.bin. I suggest that in future anyone who flashes keeps a back up of that particular file just in case.

I can't suggest a fix for you if you don't have an uncorrupted backup of it, but maybe reading this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=771158&page=11 could help? (it seems to suggest deleting the file might cause it to be regenerated, but I'd be careful with that!)

Confirmation of this by someone who has a spare/free one Galaxy 3 would be handy, but I dunno if we have anyone around who does. (Ideally we'd test the effects of deleting nv_data.bin, corrupting it with random data and the effects of restoring the file)
[Galaxy 3 General] ElliotJH:
AHHHH! Just thought as I posted this (sorry for DP but it deserves it) - Your nv_data.bin file is stored on /efs. In principle you should be able to remount this partition and fix everything... I have no USB cable to hand, but when I do I'll give you its /dev/block/stXXX designation.

Hi

I lost my IMEI too but I have a back up of my /efs folder.

So if you still need the files just tell me.

what I got:

1. the phone is unlocked now and working (call, sms, ...).

2. I lost my IMEI, its now all zeros like 00000000!

what I have in my /efs folder now:

I am working on the very same problem and willing to help.

But for this, I need original nv_data.bin files.

Of course (just like ANY "remote" unlocking, NOT only the imei-based code) this involves sending your data (IMEI) to me.

Well, I am a member for a while, and thus may have earned a degree of reputation.

To change your home you don't need to flash anything. Just install your new launcher (LauncherPro, ADW, Zeam Lancher etc etc), press the home key, select your new launcher and if you are satisfied with it, next time when you press home mark the "default" checkbox as well.

Can xda developers port good Samsung Galaxy S apps to Nexus S? For example Camera, Keyboard, Voice Recorder, AllShare, Messaging? Is it possible to have binary compatibility and simply move .apk? I believe this is the same architecture, very similar hardware or am I wrong?
[Nexus S General] mirzahodzic:
The hardware is almost the same, but the problem is in the 2.3 OS. Ports have already been made for the keyboard and the launcher. Look it up on the Samsung Galaxy S forums.

Edit: I've misread what you wrote. I think it's possible. Maybe it will work if you simply extract apk from app folder on sam gal s, and push it to nexus, or install.

Umm speak for yourself. I have an Epic and Nexus S and my Epic with 2.1 and TW was smokin out of the box. Now that it has Froyo on it the phone purrs. TW is like modified AOSP where all my TW apps have slight enhancements. It never lags and is not a resource hog like Sense.

There's aren't steps forward... true nexus fans got This phone, to keep it simply Google, not tainted with touchwiz, sense or moto blur. we love untouched untainted Google software, the way the company wanted it to be, and for a reason. Its faster!! U want ur junky touchwiz, then go back to a real Samsung device. Not a Google phone.

No offence, but these comments are coming from Samsung fans, that think the nexus s is the next galaxy phone. Its not!! Welcome to the real world of androind, unmolested by other companies so called tweaks to the system..

Just the two cents from a real nexus, Google, android enthusiast!!

And HTC, but we'll keep the best phone company out of this discussion lolol
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Adding extra, worthless BLOAT to the pure Android experience of the Nexus is a huge step back. Those terrible UI skins cripple the open-source nature of Android and do nothing but provide problems in exchange for pointless "eye candy."
[Nexus S General] defysword:
why don't you just buy a galaxy s??
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
I hate to bump just an incredibly OLD thread, but this is not going a step back, this is a step forward, customization is Android, just because Android is pure doesn't mean it's going to be better in the sense that it offers functionality. Example? TouchWiz offers a notification widget for the music player, also a lockscreen music widget. Want another example? Sense has an email widget, a much deeper integration with Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter. Still not convinced? Look at Motoblur, while some see it as ugly, a lot of people find that the deep deep integration with social networking is a great experience. It's all about features, and that is something Android has lacked since the 2.3.3 update, with Facebook integration being blown out for a reason no one really understands.

Anyone have a way to get the Samsung Keypad on the Nexus S?
[Nexus S General] lvnatic:
I really don't get people who are talking about bloatware on rooted phone. You can uninstall every single system app you want. Touchwiz is definitely an improvement over stock android: hardware accelerated browser (the browser on nexus S is unusable for me, everytime it loads an image or some flash content it lags like hell, I have to use opera mobile for a smooth browsing experience), it has video codecs, it has a great camera app, a great messaging app and a good keyboard. Removing the touchwiz launcher is, again, very easy. What? You're saying you can't use ADW or launcher pro on it or wtf?

[Captivate Android Development] Da_G:
I was reading rotohammer's post about an easy on-device backup method (using dd) that can restore data at a bit more of a lower level (Odin) than a nandroid backup. (EFS partitions, etc.)

It's possible to get your EFS partition in such a state that the /dev/block/bml3 and /dev/block/stl3 devices are no longer exposed on the device at all. This results in such nice behavior as the Cellular portion of the device not functioning at all. Providing you made a dd backup of all bml and stl devices (i.e. you have a backup of stl3 specifically,) you can recover from this situation.

Odin can recognize any file defined in the .pit file, when they are flashed to the PDA slot in a .tar, and place them in their proper partitions. One benefit to this is that if you get the EFS partition to a place where the device nodes aren't exposed to the OS anymore, you can restore it to working functionality.

These are the possible filenames that Odin recognizes: (from 512.pit, other .pits may have differing partition schemes.)

ries.pit
efs.rfs (this is the file we are going to restore to fix a broken EFS with a dd backup)
sbl.bin
param.lfs
zImage (kernel and recovery)
factoryfs.rfs
dbdata.rfs
cache.rfs
modem.bin

Any of these files are flashable by Odin3 1.7 if you place them in a .tar and put in the PDA slot.

rotohammer's post details which device matches up with which filename, in this case what we want to do is name the /dev/block/stl3 backup efs.rfs, and add it to a tar file (efs.tar) then flash it.

Assuming you have adb installed, and the stl3.bin file in the current folder:

adb push stl3.bin /sdcard/efs.rfs

adb shell

$ su

#

# cd /sdcard

# tar -cf efs.tar efs.rfs

# exit

$ exit

adb pull /sdcard/efs.tar

Now, get into download mode, open odin, stick efs.tar in PDA slot, and press start. Bam! EFS fixed :)

Note that in normal conditions you won't need a backup this extreme (copies of the files inside will be ok) but i've seen a number of users who have gotten their phones into this state (and did it myself during testing!) - This works with all the partitions you back up with dd that have support in your .pit file.

I've also used this to make an odin backup of my ROM, and flash it back later. This way you can have a pre-lagfixed ROM, for example :)
