[Galaxy S I9000 General] xperseox:
Hello everyone, I'm here to ask if it is normal that our camcorder records with H263 video codec and AMR audio codec.

Same codec for the voice recorder native.

This inevitably leads to a disaster for our audio SGS, why not talk about them enough to find a solution?

I think this is serious for the SGS see in noisy environments or not, it should be final quality of the shot!

These are the parameters of the SGS CamCorder:

info:

CamCorder: info

File format: MPEG 4

Audio bit rate: 12200 bits/sec

Audio Channel: 1

Audio Codec: AMR ( Narrowband )

Audio Sample Rate: 8000

Video bit rate: 3000000 bits/sec

Video Codec: H263

Video frame rate: 24 frame/sec
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagrim1:
Yup, camcorder is useless unfortunately in its current state...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xperseox:
I think that Rom do for our SGS is good but we must first make 100% of the functionality of the cell!

I do not understand why we speak so little as it is a serious problem! :confused:

I have 3e Froyo, rooted with superoneclick and when I'm flashing to clockwork it goes straight to the stock recovery mode,

Do I need to root with another program ? (rooting manually gives me the "signature failed" error)

[Venue Pro General] Damionix:
Ok, so here is my dilemma. I guess I should have read more before buying this phone, but I guess some things you just learn with time.

I LOVE this phone , but due to t-mobile's stupid restrictions I would have to return it. I would rather sell it than wait days for Dell to refund me my money.

I bought the 16GB version off contract and have the receipts and everything it came with.

Everything is still wrapped up and never opened.

The only thing that was removed was the phone and battery. The Keyboard is still covered in plastic.

Now my story: I bought the phone because I was planning to give WP7 a try with the most anticipated phone of the year. And when I had it, I was going to use the line as my main buisness line with my Google Voice. Come to find out, I cannot foward my voicemail to google voice because Flexpay or Even More PLus accounts have that disabled. I called Technical support and begged , they refused. So, at this point the phone has no use to me and I don't want a 2 year contract. I Know it is crazy to sell a phone for something that little. But I have 2 phones on my google voice, and when it forards the voicemail from my first phone, it rings my Dell Venue Pro phone instead of going to voicemail,hence a loop. And I do not want T-Mobile handling my VM. I want both numbers to be independent of each other.

Not to bore anyone.

I am selling the phone Brand New as it came. All I Want is the $499 OR BEST OFFER. I don't care for the tax.

Price includes shipping. Pretty much my loss here.

For those in Houston, TX or Katy, TX you can meet me and pick it up.

Please text or PM me. 832-413-3951. First come, First Serve.

Or let me know what you think.

Thanks.

SOLD!!!! Thanks to all those who contacted me. Appreciate the business.
[Venue Pro General] nasell:
Maybe I don't *fully* understand what you're saying, but there is a switch in Google Voice that says, "When forwarded from XXX number, send to GV VM."

I use this switch to allow my GV number to ring to my DVP, but if I forward it back (decline the call, etc), it forwards back to GV, and GV knows to send it to VM - not loop...

Is this what you're trying to do?
[Venue Pro General] Damionix:
Let me explain a little more.

I have a google voice number GG, and I have my regular cell CC ( setup with google Voicemail), and now Flexpay FP ( does not support google voicemail forwarding).

When someone calls my regular # CC, it rings and if I don't pick up, it should send it to google voicemail. But that does not happen, it sends it to my FP number and rings it and ends up sending the call to my Regular T-mobile Voicemail. I don't want that to happen. I want the calls made to my cell, if not answered to be sent to GVoicemail as setup, not forwarded to my other number. I have disabled this with no luck.

And I understand why it is like this and it sucks. See, when calls are being forwarded to google voicemail, it is treated like a regular call dialing GG. And I have set all calls made to GG to be sent to my FP. So, that must be the issue, and since FP does not support GG Voicemail forwarding, it is sent to my regular t-mobile VM.

If you know a work around, I would love to keep my phone :-), and where can I find this switch in google voice you are taking about?

SOLD!!!! Thanks to all those who contacted me. Appreciate the business.

I dont understand why you couldnt just send it back to dell. its only obvious at this point you're trying to pull some strings.:rolleyes:

[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
An amazing DATA2EXT script has been developed for Desire in this post. This boosts the IO performance to... as you can see this screenshot.

It requires TWO ext4 partitions to do the trick. Both CM6 and Liberated support ext4, but ClockworkMod doesn't. Last time I made an ext4 partition on my sdcard, ClockworkMod (2.5.0.1) couldn't mount it. Even if it does support ext4, it won't meet the expectation by nandroid ONE sd-ext only.

So, does anyone have experience modding recovery? After reading this, I guess by building the ginerbread branch of CM would generate the ginerbread version of ClockworkMod recovery.img. I don't know whether it supports ext4, but if it is, that would be much easier, as we only need to make it handles one more sd-ext.

I will try to build CM first. Please stay tune. I might need help.

[Streak 5 General] Philip:
Since updating my Streak to 2.2, I seem to have lost any Calendar which is only visible on the Phone, but which does not synchronise with Google. I am sure that 2.1 had one (called "PC Sync", I think).

(Note: I keep all my data in Outlook. I want to share it with my phone. I do NOT want Google to have any access to it).

When I look in the Calendar application, there is only one Calendar listed (Menu - More - Calendars), which is the one from my linked GMail account. There are 3 options available for that calendar:

1) "synced, visible" - which means that I can see the data in the calendar application, but that it is also synced with my Google account;

2) "synced, not visible" - which means that I can NOT see the data in the calendar application, but that it is still synced with my Google account;

3) "not synced, not visible" - which means that it is not synced with my Google account (great!), but I can't see the data in the calendar application :-(

What I really want is a fourth option "not synced, visible", but this doesn't exist.

I can create new calendars from my PC when logged on to Google (but these have the same set of options on the phone and cannot be set to "not synced, visible"). I cannot find any way of creating a new calendar on the phone itself.

I'm almost ready to give up on Android and go back to WinMo, unless anybody here can help ...
[Streak 5 General] Emperor Crusher:
Philip, the standard Android phone will have a native calendar and contact app that is visible. From there, you have the option to sync or not sync each with Google. Please do not give up on Android devices simply because Dell has done things differently than the standard Android device.

There is a solution. You must find a third party vendor that has a calendar provided with their software and install it. You have a requirement that the sync with Outlook does not use Google as the conduit. We must look at the chart at syncdroid dot net with a P under the Calendar column which indicates the have a Provided Calendar app. We see that there are 4 options available for you. MyPhoneExplorer is free, has a very good reputation, and uses USB or Wi-Fi to sync. VCOrganizer Pro has a good reputation and syncs via Wi-Fi. MyLinkAdvanced syncs with USB. CompanionLink for Outlook has a good reputation, free phone and email tech support, has a free 14 day trial and syncs through USB or Wi-Fi. If you would really like to use a wireless sync so the calendar is synced at any time, you can enroll with the $10 per month plan with CompanionLink to send your data with encryption through CompanionLink's servers to your Streak. Since it's encrypted, not even CompanionLink can "see" it.

If you are using Outlook 2010, you may not use MyLinkAdvanced because it is not compatible with Outlook 2010.

One great benefit of most non-native calendars is that you have the ability to search for an item. This is not possible with the native calendar app.

I personally use CompanionLink for Outlook and it works well.
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
Unfortunately that's not quite the full story. As I explained, if I choose NOT to synchronise with Google, then there is no option to actually view my data within the Android Calendar application. (Contacts are not a problem, only the Calendar).

I'm well aware of http://synchdroid.net, but unfortunately the information there is incorrect in respect of MyPhoneExplorer - it does not provide either Calendar or Contact applications on the Andoid platform (I know this because I use MPE to get my data from Outlook to my Dell Streak).

That has not been my experience with VCO, unfortunately - it duplicated my Contacts and corrupted my Outlook data. You just need to look at the comments in the Android Marketplace to see that many people have had problems with this application. What leads you to believe that it has "a good reputation"?

True - but the native application can share its data with other applications (such as CalWidget, which I find very useful).
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Suggestions:

Jorte - provides an independent calendar app, can import csv files to get you Outlook data in

Offline Calendar - stand alone calendar app

AnCal - another standalone calendar
[Streak 5 General] Emperor Crusher:
Philip,

Let me repeat what I said. The STANDARD ANDROID phone has a Calendar app that remains visible whether or not you sync. Put another way, Dell has made their Streak to be a NON-Standard Android, if what you say is true - and I have no reason to doubt you.

I said that MyPhoneExplorer has a very good reputation, but VCOrganizer just has a good reputation. I see both good and bad about every program on the forums. Comparably, VCOrganizer just has less bad than others, from what I have seen. Your milage may vary.

CompanionLink for Outlook syncs to it's own calendar, but it also syncs that calendar with the native calendar. Now, even if the native calendar is invisible, it stands to reason that the Companionlink DejaOffice Calendar will still sync with it. Therefore, Calwidget will still get information from it. Because Dell has, um, provided you with this opportunity, you can test the free trial of Companionlink to see if this is true.
[Streak 5 General] Emperor Crusher:
Philip,

I saw this quote on the FJSoftware forum and they are the developers of MyPhoneExplorer. The answer came from their staff.

So, that's where I got my information. Perhaps there was some confusion in the translation. I have asked them to clarify this.
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
MyPhoneExplorer

OK, I think that I understand the confusion.

MyPhoneExplorer maintains its own Contact and Calendar applications

on the PC

, but not on the (Android) phone, where it uses the native applications.

I think that this stems from its origins as a way to synchronise SonyEricsson phones with a PC, in the days before PIMs like Outlook were widely used.
[Streak 5 General] GroovyGeek:
I have the exact same problem as the OP and I think that most of the suggestions offered here miss the nature of the problem.

At least under GB with CM7 nightlies there is no way to have a standalone calendar that does not sync with Google. You can install AnCal or Offline Calendar and they will maintain their own files, but these are not visible to the standard Android APIs that 3rd party conduits which sync with Outlook rely on. I have verified this on my own phone, where I have three calendars: Personal (GCal), Work (GCal), and AnCal. When you open the stock Calendar app (or at least as stock as CM7 makes it), you ONLY see the two GCal calendars. When you launch the MPE client on the device you ONLY see the two GCal calendars. For app practical purposes AnCal might as well not exist.

Worst of all any attempt to sync with MPE or syncdroid dumps all your Outlook data on Google's servers. If you try to use this software to sync your work calendar you may end up fired for putting unsecured sensitive information in Google's hands. If your company has an exchange server this problem is solved, otherwise you are out of luck.

I am with the OP here.... Android REALLY REALLY needs a "visible, no sync" calendar option. Google cannot be trusted any more than any other corporation to safeguard sensitive data, forcing you to put all your calendar info on the cloud is just ridiculous.

The last bit may be a bug in the CM7 nightlies that may get resolved once the official release comes around. I though that I could work around the problem by turning off calendar sync under "Accounts and Sync" and leaving the calendar as "visible, sync". Since I don't use my GCal for practically anything of value I was ready to sacrifice the sync in order to prevent my work calendar from ending up on Google's servers. Turns out that CM7 ignores the global setting under "Accounts and Sync" and responds to the calendar sync setting in the Calendar app. Hope this is just a temporary bug that gets fixed.
[Streak 5 General] tbessie:
Nope, you're right - it's not a bug in a particular interim release. Froyo 2.2 does the same thing. There is no "visible, no sync" setting, and the sync settings for the phone are ignored if you want to view your calendar data (because you have to select SOME form of 'visible', which is only 'synced, visible').

Why in the world would Google FORCE you to sync your Calendar data if you want to view it? I agree, that seems rather insane.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docboy8380:
Just had a quick question, I'm kinda new here. I currently have a rooted Epic w/ the leaked 2.2 version that came out a few weeks back. *Supposedly* sammy will be releasing the OFFICIAL 2.2 on 12/26, so I was thinking of going back to the stock 2.1 (it seemed to be a lot faster and less buggy) until the official 2.2 comes out. Are there any drawbacks to this? Will I lose any of my apps that I currently have installed? Can someone point me in the right direction for how to go about doing this? I imagine there's probably a thread or two hanging out there somewhere about this. Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
I haven't seen this posted, if it was, i apologize in advance...

My Galaxy Tab is the Sprint Tab. I am not sure if this method works for other carrier's Tabs. *ALL TABS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED*

If your Tab freezes, you can power the Tab down by holding in the POWER Button for 8-10 seconds or unit you see the screen turn off.

Personally, like any computer or high-tech device, i usually like to wait at least 10-15 seconds before powering such device back up.

After the device has been OFF for 10-15 seconds, hold the POWER button in for 3 seconds or until your device turns ON.

AGAIN, if Galaxy Tab freezes (ALL TABS CONFIRMED):

1) Hold POWER button in for 8-10 Seconds, or until powered OFF

2) Leave Unit OFF 10-15 seconds.

3) Hold POWER button in for 3 seconds, or until powered ON

4) Enjoy :D

If you are using a Verizon Tab or a GSM Tab (AT&T, T-Mobile, or Euro) and attempt this method, please say so and i will edit the post.

Thanks in advance!

*EDIT*

It has been confirmed that ALL Galaxy Tabs, CDMA & GSM (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and Euros), can use this method to unfreeze.
[Galaxy Tab General] peare:
Same with Euro tabs.
[Galaxy Tab General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
thanks for the info!
[Galaxy Tab General] Asori:
Thanks for the info, this worked like a charm!!

Also, just an FYI: The only reason they advise to wait to power up a PC 10-15 seconds after powering it down in this fashion is to give the hard drive a chance to stop spinning. Since the Tab doesn't have a hard drive, you should be good. :)

Again, thanks for the info! I thought I had to let the battery die or something. :(
[Galaxy Tab General] ordio:
Funny you mention this... the *DAY* i bought my tab, a few hours after tinkering with it, it froze (i was trying to power it down or something).

Anyway, it froze and i had no clue how to fix it.

I think i searched and found the hold Power button trick for as long as mentioned above.

So i can confirm this works with the BELL Galaxy Tab as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
There is another method for really problematic Tabs:-

1. Connect the Tab to a Mains (not PC USB) power source.

2. Press & Hold the Power On button for 30 seconds AND touch & Hold the Middle of the Tab's screen. This will then bring up a menu asking if you wish to Reboot.

3. A Battery Charging Indicator will appear with a progress bleep sound at the bottom of the Tab.

4. Detach the Power cord and press On and then Off again... It should now reboot.
[Galaxy Tab General] drksilenc:
thats not entirely true its also to let most of the little caps on the mobo discharge all the way
[Galaxy Tab General] eboIa:
This is just a 'standard hard reset' on lot of android device as a dedicated button on your desktop PC if it has... Not a Tab exclusive feature. Long press power button reset Galaxy S, HTC Legend, Hero etc... (I had...)

If you are on power line it will just switch off but if just on accu. then will restart as well.

Bye,
[Galaxy Tab General] vs2:
Thanks for that. On every device I've had I have at some stage had to do a 'battery pull' (ouch!) with the screen still on. As the SGT battery cannot be pulled this is probably the best way.

[Touch Cruise 2 General] ptcman:
Hi.

I've always been able to sync my Cruise 2 with my Win Vista and Win 7 OS, but all of a sudden it stopped.

I've tried everything. Hard reset the Cruise, reinstall Vista and Win 7, but nothing happened. Still can't sync.

Although the weird thing is that I'm able to connect to the Disk Drive and to the Internet Sharing modes.

How can this be possible?

Does anyone had this problem?

I read on another thread that maybe a new ROM could solve the problem since I'm still using the original one that came with the Cruise (1.09.401.3), but two things, I never had any problem with this ROM so upgrade it was never on the table, and even if I decided to upgrade to see if I could solve this problem, how could I install it since I can't sync?
