Don't let the SGS line taint your perception of Android in general; AOSP on an HTC phone is a much more realistic competitor to the iPhone. I got my Nexus One while waiting for the Vibrant's issues to get sorted out (as if that's actually going to ever happen...) and I find it to provide a very pleasant experience compared to iOS.

I suspect the Nexus S will be a much better device than the SGS line and much closer to the Nexus One experience, but I've got enough ill will towards Samsung right now that I think I'm going to pass, at least until they can prove themselves to me.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
1... A GPS that doesnt lock properly is still a functioning GPS... it is not broken.

2. Lag is all perspective.

3. Yes Froyo is taking its time getting here.. But why are you here if you aren't flashing?

4. That is all perspective. BTW you say give you an iphone, yet you complain about touchwiz, which is quite possibly the best iphone ui lookalike out there.

5. Shame that happened...

Last I checked this phone still makes phone calls, unlike other phones. 1 in 5 SGS phones I know of have the GPS issue, and none can be considered broken because they do work, they just have issues locking efficiently.

You sir are just a negative human being who likes to blow things out of proportion to form an invalid argument. Such pity for human beings like you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadmad:
Hi All,

I am using Galaxy S with Froyo. May be i sound stupid, but is there a way by which I can customize the button on my hands free for Music Player?

My hands free which came with the pack got only one button and when I press it, it works as a middle button of Music Player and it either Pause of Play while listening music on music player.

Want to customize the button so that it can play the next song on the Playlist.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance...:)

[Touch CDMA General] EZPIMP69:
Does anyone know how I may get past the white screen on the HTC touch from sprint? I unlocked my phone with SPL-0.41. Coke and tried wiping the Windows 6.1 rom to install an Android rom. It was working fine for a few days but when I deleted some files off my microSD card it would not boot past the white screen. The most I can get my phone to do is to go into the multicolor screen. Can anyone help with this issue? I want to try and repair my Vogue from the white screen of death. :(
[Touch CDMA General] Earl123676:
Well If this is what you want to try.

Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=873422&page=3

And get the stock rom and put it back to stock.

Download this one RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe

If it dose not work use this one..

RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship.exe

Just DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN!

It will mess up your phone i another way

Push the soft reset button when it go's to run it. Thanks I hope it helps

[Touch CDMA General] TheXev:
First off, who is your carrier?

Second, what radio is the phone currently running? On the tri-color screen, it will next to R.
[Touch CDMA General] KralHiPolymer:
You should re-unlock your Vogue with 2.31 instead of 0.41 or else it will reboot after it sleeps for a bit.
[Touch CDMA General] EZPIMP69:
I tried to re-unlock but the PC does not detect any devices without active sync. Do you think it would detect it if i use coke 2.31?
[Touch CDMA General] KralHiPolymer:
You can try to flash a windows rom from the sd card by renaming the nbh file to " VOGUIMG.nbh" and go into the bootloader then re unlock with 2.31 cokeman before flashing back to android.

Yes its finally here! the video :D

donate please i spent time doing this

excuse my language ;)

also i think youtube sped up the video if so please report it to me so ill can redo it :D

Enjoy!

P.s. i ran outta memory on my camera cuz it uses CD's so i only did a tear down no assembly
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Wow you are brave I would not ever dare to take apart my phone, knowing myself I would end up ripping of the display ribbon or somehow making it catch on fire LOL.

Either way thanks for the video, it was fun looking at the insides of my phone :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] dimqa:
You are brave man indeed :) Anyway, nicely done m8 ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Where do we get the springs? :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Highly appreciate the try and your braveness, however I would never be able to do this based on your video, is almost impossible to exactly know what are you doing.

Thanks a lot for the effort though
[G2 and Desire Z General] fablife:
Appreciate the video - I could never do that to mine.

I got vertigos watching it though :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
+1

Suggestion: next time maybe put the camera on a Tri-pod and keep what you are doing to the phone in the view of the camera the whole time and also post the reassembly. If these two things get done for your next video I would be more than willing to donate.

Great first shot though, keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] te5ter:
The OP is the same person who had many troubles reassembling his phone in the other thread.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
No wounder no reassembly video.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
Great job man, no offense but the video sucked only because it didn't show us what you were exactly doing. If you could get a new camera and stick it on a tripod then it'd be perfect. Thanks anyway dude.
[G2 and Desire Z General] alfadog77:
alright guys as you wish i just bought a tri pod just for you guys

the new video will be out soon :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] eax05:
Not if I beat you to it.

I just took the phone apart and put it back together with out nay problems. Thank you OP for the warnings. No loose screw no scratches just like brand new.

I also took measurements of the spring if any one wants to buy a different spring to replace the stock one.

The Length of the spring is 10mm

the outer diameter is 4mm

I think I found a good one to replace with.

I am not sure what is the tension of the stock one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] alfadog77:
lol i know i know :P

after i figured out wtf i was doing wrong re assembling was a breeze and btw i couldn't reassemble because i ran out of camera memory cuz my camera can only record to 30 minute DVD discs

Edit: apparently the $1 tripod broke on me xD lol so dont expect a redo of the vid anytime soon

Please donate so i can buy a new camera and a better tripod xD

[G2 and Desire Z General] te5ter:
Post the link of the spring you plan on using please.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandale:
When is part 3 coming out?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
thanks for the info.

if

The Length of the spring is 10mm

the outer diameter is 4mm

then strongest one may be

http://www11.ocn.ne.jp/~sotec/product/compression/syosai/CS0600400100.html

(use chrome to translate)

if the free length and outer diameter are fixed, the wider wire diameter, the stronger. and this one is widest diameter for 10mm/4mm.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
or maybe Spring-2241?

[G2 and Desire Z General] beangraff:
Very well put together video. Like you said it looks like it could use a little more tension in the spring but you have the idea right. Did you remove the void sticker on the first screws?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sparacis:
does anyone have the problem where the screen kinda wobbles when in the closed position? In a rocking fashion back and forth. Very annoying! would a new spring fix this? or would this only address the open and closing aspect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LGS1231:
I had the isse. It anoyed me so I took it back for an exchange. My new one doesn't wobble anymore, because the hinge is a looser.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
i exchanged for dust under the glass. new one wobbles a lot. i didn't have any prob with the old one. so i asked one more replacement. it wobbles a lot. they still had my first one. i compared. only the first one with dust is ok level.

i think the wobble is more like parts tolerance (like engineers ask parts maker to make a part as the size of 5±0.2) or assembly (there must be a guide to push the hinge part when tightening a screw. otherwise, the part will be fixed at any position with in the diff of screw size and screw hole size)

i mean i don't think just spring strength can fix the wobble.
[G2 and Desire Z General] boricuaboy2005pr:
that som balls , hope i never have to come down to that
[G2 and Desire Z General] price31:
waow, this is sick! Going to do this whenever I have some time! Thanks for the post!!!

Can you show a quick video of how solid the hinges are now?? Closed and opened if possible??

Thanks a lot!!

EDIT: Also, how has your "new" spring been holding up?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xfh.tw:
wobbling top

does someone have this problem what the top is wobbled when the top lifting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey:
YEAH.

my screen has been wobbling for a while now. it does not have anything to do with the hinge, because its where the hinde mechanism attaches to the top of the phone. i wish i knew a fix because it REALLY does drive me nuts. especially when typing on the on screen keyboard. i think its because the screens are not as tight as they should be, causing the wobble.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Exactly. Language, very unprofessional, bad camara placement, losing screws, etc.

One of the worst videos (period) ive seen. But its a kid, what do you expect from a child?

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

GREAT videos. The spring video is simply amazing. And the assembly video is VERY nicely done, understood and actually gets fear out of one's body when doing this.

They arent crap. They are truely great :)

Suggestions:

1: Deassemble video (which I think you commented on)

2: Text tutorial as well (this helps you list parts such as cutters, screw numbers, describe what you did, etc.)

Either way, great job and thanks.

No. Take yours off and replace it with his. Or, put yours at the bottom and put his on top. They are 100000000..... (I could go on) better than yours. Nice guts for trying to open your phone but no.

[Desire General] CM Wave:
Was just wondering if anyone running Oxygen 2.0 (or some other Gingerbread ROM) has noticed any video playback improvements. Specifically, Android 2.1 and 2.2 would completely choke and stutter with any videos encoded with b-frames, wondering if that's been improved at all.

[Fascinate General] Ayracon89:
Hello, I have scoured the internet looking for ways to improve the speed and performance of my samsung fascinate and have only found instructions on how to do this with a pc. Are there any methods out there for a mac? My phone has been rooted and works fine, but I notice lag from time to time. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
The only thing that is really PC only is flashing via Odin, and most of the stuff you do in Odin can be done on a Mac anyway. Most upgrades (kernels, roms, and other mods) come in flashable zip files for Clockwork recovery. If you can transfer the file to your SD card, you can update the rom or kernel fairly easily.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
Yeah I'm a Mac user. Everything you need can really be found in the rom manager app these days. As stated above you can also just move the zip files from Mac to phone. But if you are uncomfortable inside recovery, rom manager pretty much does everything for you. Good luck.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
If you're rooted, you can find a flashable zip of a kernel that you want, but if you don't want to use cwm to flash it (i don't see why you wouldn't, it's the absolute easiest way) you can use redbend_ua. It will most likely be included with the kernel you chose.

so what you need to do is push redbend_ua and the kernel (zImage) to /tmp

adb push /path/to/redbend_ua /tmp/redbend_ua

adb push /path/to/zImage /tmp/zImage

Once done with that you're going to adb shell and set permissions and flash the kernel you want.

adb shell
# cd /tmp
# chmod 755 redbend_ua
# ./redbend_ua restore zImage /dev/block/bml7
# ./redbend_ua restore zImage /dev/block/bml8

All in that order if you wanna take that route to installing a kernel

That bit of code actually saved me when i was experimenting with flashing a custom recovery that i dumped through odin. Hope this helps you.

[HD2 General] FireDemonSiC:
For the past few weeks the touchscreen on my HD2 has been sporadically going haywire. It almost always occured after a hardware button was pressed or if the phone was put into standby. The touchscreen would stop registering any presses as if the digitizer had gone belly up. To get it to start working again, You either had to restart the phone or spend a few moments fiddling with the hardware buttons and tapping the screen.

A few hours ago I took the phone apart to see if I could discover the problem and now it does not work at all.

I have noticed that ever since this problem started sometimes the LCD would not display the correct colors. Almost as if it had Yellow and Blue but no Red. Oddly flexing the phone immediately fixed this problem.

What do you guys think the chances are that it is just the LCD/digitizer that is shot? I would like some reassurance before spending $100 on this part.
[HD2 General] casemandan:
Sounds like it to me... had this happen to my G1 last year
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
So usually after the phone has been in my pocket a bit, if I try to make a call, the screen and everything looks normal, but I hear no ringing. I don't know if it is actually going through but I doubt it.

Hang up, call right back... the phone starts ringing as normal.

I do this more and more often lately. Have to call everyone twice.

Has anyone else ever had this?

I've had this happen on several different ROMs, and I've been using 2.2 since it was publicly available.

I've been having it at least since DK17, maybe earlier.

Same problem as soon as I installed DK28. Hopefully they have these kinks worked out in the final release.

[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Also intermittently having this issue, but it happened with my previous, non-android phone, too. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't the phone or its software.
