i've aquired a sgs on ebay, i'm getting massive camera interferance. i mean it makes the camera unusable, i'm looking for information regarding the warranty void sticker on the sgs. or what they look for for hardware voiding of warranty. i can't tell if its been opened or not, but i see no sticker and the screws dont look used.

so anybody know where the sticker is/whats broke when you open it?

thanksbois!
[Captivate General] nephets0:
I don't think I've seen one on mine?
[Captivate General] cerjam:
well thats good. how about anyone else, got any information on it?
[Captivate General] newter55:
No "seal" so to speak. I had my wifes apart before I returned through warranty for screen issues and there would be no way to tell though there is loctite on the threads of the screws that I suppose could indicate that they had been removed if it is not present though I had no issues with warranty department.
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
The only warranty voiding sticker that I know about is the moisture sticker under the battery cover.
[Captivate General] cerjam:
faaantastic. how might one go about checking a warranty ona device.
[Captivate General] avs420:
Well mine is white and it's never been in water lol so I'm clear.

It's not the main sticker with the build number on it, it's on the side where the battery contacts are

Cheers mate
[Captivate General] maedondias:
haven't spotted it on any of the ones i've worked with. Though haven't really had to go so far to look for 'em.

If you got it through ebay, why are you worrying about the void sticker? I wouldn't expect ATT/Samsung to honor anything through that kind of purchase.
[Captivate General] cerjam:
its a samsung manufactured phone, the warranty shouldnt matter where the **** you got it. they made it, they should fix it. as long as its not stolen or anything i see no reason they wouldnt honor it.
[Captivate General] maedondias:
not playing the troll game, you obviously already have a strong opinion regarding the entirety of this post and jump quickly about it. My stance is my experience versus yours, while I agree with what SHOULD occur and happen, from a business and experience-oriented standpoint it doesn't happen.

Most of the things I've bought on ebay, OEMs wouldn't honor, and if they would I never knew because I never had problems with whatever it was. Just because you bought it fair and square, doesn't mean it wasn't stolen prior or previous owners/users might have done something to get the device blacklisted and that's why it's on the market to begin with(thinking used xbox 360's and wanting to play online multiplayer after the console got caught for being modded). Meh, probably just my paranoia and experience in other markets.

As for Void stickers, generally you would see it before breaking it. Since the manufacturer would have to be able to confirm it is intact before breaking it themselves to conduct repairs. So any stickers like that would generally be fairly blatant and visible before you risk tampering with them. <-- Experience on computer equipment.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I also see no reason why the need to know. ;)

So, i have few games .apk files along with their data files . So, where to put those data files, to avoid downloading..

For example, for real football 2011, ive put data files on root folder of sd card, and it is still downloading things when i run game..

Please help :)

Thanks in advance

********edit : for gameloft i found out : sdcard/gameloft/games/"name of the game"

but what about other games,,.?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Every developer chooses where he stores his own data files, there's no standard. Best is to just download it through your phone though.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Here we are the last week of December. Promised dates for Froyo on the captivate have come and gone and keep changing. Samsung releases a new Android platform in the Nexus S and Google has control of software releases on it. I've had my Captivate since September, I'm running a custom ROM (Cognition) and for the most part my phone works with the GPS being the only sore spot.

Has Samsung/ATT abandoned development? Will we SEE Froyo released at all?

At this point I think the idea that they've scrapped it and are moving to Gingerbread is a pipedream.

There hasn't been a leaked final Froyo yet and that is really suprising to me.

We have the hottest hardware available right now and it's bogged down by the crappy stock software and 2.1 releases are crippled because we don't have proper source code for the Devs to work from.

I'm getting frustrated and contemplating selling this phone, but I LOVE the android platform and want to stick with it.
[Captivate General] niezek:
I feel the same way but I'm gonna hold out just a little longer
[Captivate General] 1randomtask:
Out and out, I disagree with this. A Voodoo lagfix charged Cappy (i.e RFS-fixed) merely lacks Flash from 2.2.

There is no need on the Hummingbird platform for the 2.2 JIT improvements that dramatically boosted the performance of Snapdragon based handsets.

Touchwiz/Sense/etc is merely a demon that plagued pre 2.3 devices (and we haven't seen what Carrier/Vendor bull**** is coming with 2.3 yet, I wouldn't say we're out of the woods yet) and to be honest they are all as bad as each other - particularly if they are so ingrained that you can't dump them by replacing their components without root (much less adb/full rom flash).

There is 3 problems with the Captivate platform, to be sure, imo in the order of importance.

1. RFS

2. GPS

3. AT&T/Samsung's lack of updates/source/news

Overall, I think that Froyo is being held up over GPS not being "fixed" as well as the sleeping shutdown bug, and AT&T's general ineptitude.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
tahnks for cutting off what I said to make your point. STOCK SOFTWARE SUCKS. Devs' custome ROMS are good, but held back due to the lack of an official 2.2 release and source code.
[Captivate General] 1randomtask:
It doesn't.

RFS does. If no-one had to suffer Touchwiz with RFS, there wouldn't be quite as much hate as there is.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
It's STOCK and can't be modified without rooting therefore my point stands. :D
[Captivate General] vvaffles:
i really dont see what is wrong with the custom roms based on leaked firmware, it runs very smooth, and coming from a nexus one, there is definitely a noticeable difference.

but then again, the nexus one is almost a whole year older than the galaxy s phones, so if there is no difference, i would say they are doing it wrong.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
meh.. Ive come to depend 100% on XDA for my updates.

I don't think we will ever see any official OTA updates from Att any time soon.
[Captivate General] A.VOID:
SAmsung reps are telling AT&T they are skipping 2.2 and just putting out 2.3. Heard it from the horse's mouth ...

Take it for whatever that is worth. I doubt Samsung USA reps have a clue anymore, but that is what they shared with AT&T.
[Captivate General] psai:
It's a good thing we have so many awesome devs creating new ROMs that are imo much better than anything AT&T/Samsung could ever release as the official updates would still come with tons of AT&T bloatware and TouchWiz, and would most likely use the laggy RFS filesystem like JF6 and JH7.
[Captivate General] mwilhelm:
Which "horse's mouth" is that? Mr. Ed?

It's just that there's been such a large herd of them.

[Vibrant General] gallagherm1993:
When flashing a new rom, is there an easy way to back up the application data?

For instance, I'm tired of restarting in Angry birds every time TW comes out with a new rom. (No offense to TW, I just cant keep up! That's a good thing!) I also wouldn't mind keeping all of my apps. I know Titanium Backup works, but is there a way to back up all the application data as well?
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
Titanium Backup, when you use it, back up from the Batch Menu, "Backup apps with data". When you restore, "Restore apps plus data". Then when I open my apps, it had the data, like my fantasy sports players or my angry birds, to where I left off.

Sent from the helm of the vibrant Galaxy S!
[Vibrant General] gallagherm1993:
thank you for the response. however, there wasn't an option to backup apps with data.

the closest thing i saw was backup all user apps + system data
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
So sorry, ok do the following:

Do batch, then "Backup all user apps"

Once done, do "Backup all system data", BUT, here's the caveat:

Only select the green system data. I repeat, ONLY THE GREEN HIGHLIGHTED DATA...

Then when you restore them, do the one that restore all plus system thingy. Then your set!

I always do this method, it keeps my data intact. Never fails on me.

Igo8 works just fine in android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
I write in the spirit of love but I gotta take issue with some of your points:

1.) Movie Maker: Can't comment as I don't use, mainly as I'll always do this on a PC :p

2.) Movies/TV via your Orb Server: Thing is, I could never get this working easily on WinMo, but for me it works flawlessly on Android, using the default Web Browser to select the file, and then default video player or VPlayer to play.

3.) TomTom, Navigon, Igo8, Route66 offline navigation apps: Agree, I keep WinMo around purely for TomTom (and booting :D)

4.) Fast psx emulation with FPSeCe: Wow, PSX4Droid works so perfectly out of the box for me, and with RomBuddy I can even download the games direct to my Droid. I donated to FPSECE and followed it closesly and praised it, but the bugs and the constant controller set-up are WAY behind PSX4Droid. Give it a go (free version available, otherwise $3) if you haven't already.

5.) Opera Mobile 10 Final INCREDIBLY smooth browsing: Fair enough. Personally I've been happy with the default Android experience, as well as trying Opera, Dolphin and one or two others on Android.

6) I'll add e-book readers to your list: I was addicted to Alreader2 on WinMo, and all of the e-book readers on Android lack something (and I've tried them all). Either missing night-mode, or file compatibility, or saving restrictions, or just plain ugly when reading. Only CoolReader has come close (in fact, very close except for a couple of issues).

7) I also find myself trapped using HTC Sense on Android as I love it's email widgets, and can't find decent equivalents for other launchers.

... Oh, and I do miss Cookie's Home Tab. It is amazing software which could have been the saviour of WinMo if it had arrived two years earlier, and was built into official ROMs. Microsoft completely dropped the ball with UI and with AppMarkets.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nemo0405:
how did you manage to get it to work? I keep getting "Insert SD card with IGO8 files" or something like that thanks... :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
You are right about psx4droid, it is awesome. There are a few games I was addicted to back in the day, like Twisted Metal 2, and it runs at 60fps in FPSeCe, whereas it's kinda choppy in a couple Android builds I've tried - maybe I just need to try the right build, and yes the controller setup in psx4droid blows FPSeCe. The browsing experience in Android is excellent, I just am addicted to that Opera Mobile 10 Final.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
thanks for being the first to add something to the list, I appreciate it. I think the hd2 is quite special (been playing with computers since 1979) and you helping build a list that helps other members here have a pocket computer that does anything is cool.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
Twisted Metal 2! That remains my ultimate game ever ever ever, and its the game I got Psx4droid for. For me it works perfectly on the Black & Blue remix Rom. The Paris level stole years from my teenage years :) I am either Spectre or Warthog :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KowboyBebop:
Lol no. You can set up your own way of controler in FPSEce while PSX4Droid have only pre set type of controller (i would even go as far as to say that there is only one controller).

Anyway, lack of other options in not a plus for simplicity.

Back to the topic: I agree with the Navigation and FPSEce points. I dont really mind others. Also winmo have better alarms (G-Alamr for example). I wasnt able to find good one in Android (created my own with tasker though).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poopymt3g:
so for PSX4Droid how do we specify the bios in our build? I am using HD2ONE.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
Well... this might not be crucial, but I've been using WinMo with SPB Mobile Shell on it in almost all my WinMo devices (countless). There's nothing that cool in Android :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
I guess I do agree with you, but I just got so sick of configuring FPSECE that I enjoyed the "pick ROM and play" approach, and have been happy with the default controller. But point taken :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
I had been using SPB Mobile Shell on my phones, too. However, SPB Apps are poorly supported. If you try Android you would find that the apps are better, easier to install and uninstall, many more options using Android. Have you tried LauncherPlus? That really is better than APB MS. JMHO
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marex86:
If you tried both versions you would know about huge difference between those two ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
Not crucial, but quite valid actually. I know there are many fans of spbshell, because it is awesome, and an spb shell version for android would be quite cool. Im not familiar with spb shell, but have seen it many times.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
Something that was mentioned in another forum was that in FPSeCe you can have a different custom controls for each individual game: gsensor on/off, different layouts, etc. Now, it's a different .ini file each game, and making custom controls for each game is laborious, but I've done it and benefitted by it. Psx4droid will have this soon I'm sure. (I also need to try psx4droid on some of those mentioned builds.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
I am either spectre or warthog -- you rock smeddy! I am starting to think Twisted Metal 2 should become one of my benchmarks for testing build/rom/radio combos.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rambo6:
I totally agree with the sentiments of this post. I loved my HD2. It was a remarkable device. I also loved all the programs you mentioned. However, i really wish the phone had been Android right from the get go. The hardware was so awesome, pictures we actually clear and didn't look grainy. (This was a first for HTC.) For us hackers WM was great. Now Android is great and becoming greater by leaps and bounds. It's hard to beat Google Navigation and also all the cool voice commands offered by Android.

I would have bought the EVO 4G to replace my broken HD2, but I cannot stand the sprint network. I'm waiting for an HD2 device that has a 4.3 screen and is GSM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
"all the cool voice commands" by both google and vlingo are going to change human history starting this year. You are right to highlight those. Its the dawn of a new era in computing (is my hd2 a 'Monolith' from the Arthur C Clarke books?)

Oh yeah, and Android doesn't have "TellMe" -- can't overlook that GoogleKiller.

You do know the thread title is an oxy moron?

This shouldn't be in the Android forum. It looks and smells like a troll thread to me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kinsago:
I'm not sure I agree. I think that comparing the two platforms and what people miss from winmo is important. I also left winmo as soon as possible for the lure of android, but can't ignore the fact that android doesn't yet do everything that winmo can/could (eg office).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vplaza96:
One thing that I don't think I saw on this thread was file encryption. WinMo can do file encryption with FreeOTFEPDA so that you can have an encrypted volume on your SD card that can't be opened in case your card or phone is lost/stolen. The nice thing is that you can create and open files on your PC with FreeOTFE.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
This might sound more like a question than a point: since T-Mobile HD2 got 1gb rom (and with cooked roms you strip from there all the T-Mobile bloatware leaving haft gig of space) you can't use that fast storage to put your apps, you always end installing the apps fisically in the data img file wich is actually in the SD card. Anyway an high quality fast SDHC card makes you forget about that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
I see your point and I think you have a good point. I guess I put the thread in Android because I now view my hd2 as an "Android Phone That Also Boots Windows." The daily driver builds are so good now that i would recommend people buy an HD2 for Android, and keep a few select apps on the windows side of things just in case. So, I just kinda figured I'd point Android lovers to some of the things worth putting on that "Big Bootloader" called winmo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I think, in hindsight, I said it should be in the WinMo forum because no matter how you title it, it just reads like people explaining why

not

to use Android. Just not very helpful to Android users, unless the thread is about finding solutions to initial Android problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
I will work harder to try and keep the discussion focused at helping Android users, because when I first started using android I lost many hours searching the market trying to duplicate some favorite winmo apps when I should have spent that time finding builds compatible with CIFSManager (btw 'Appbrain' android app is getting good), plus I made some initial errors in choosing an unbalanced rom/radio/build combo and a lot of precious ROM went wasted that could have stored things like NETCF3.5.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
Your question is correct (what did I just say?). I feel that stripped ROMS are great, but there is a some fast memory in ROM that 'is expensive to duplicate.' Putting fast apps there without needing to duplicate them is a good option. You are right that a high quality sdcard is another good option, but a fast 16gb sdcard can be a huge expense for young IT students in some parts of the world. One Laptop Per Child? Nahh -- One HD2 per child I say -- easier to hide an hd2 from road bandits on your walk to school.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cuibap:
CallerID option

What I can do in WinMo is to be able to set the CallerID option to display my number ONLY to my contacts, not other numbers. I can't do that with Android, at least I don't know how to do it.

Thanks first of all to the list that Pablo71 has issued. I guess that Android is the future, but only if some of those gaps are closed that are shown in this thread.

I want to add rSAP. This is to me the most intelligent bluetooth connection between a phone and a car.

Unfortunately this portion is left out completely in Android.

This is to me a killer for Android, as I don't like to pay every time 100 bucks when I don't phone hands free.
