Umm if we really think about it.. there are different variants of the galaxy s.. of course samsung will focus on the international version first, the original version used globally,... why wouldn't samsung customize the galaxy s for the carriers when the US market is huge and should beneficial for samsung to have the device in the US.. and i doubt that optimizing the software for different hardware is that simple too, it takes time.. samsung is willing to cater to carriers needs based on certain regulations, the FFC had to be removed coz the devices so don't run on 4g or lte yet.. (except epic) vibrant should be able to handle it through hspa though.. and the carriers probably thought it would be pointless to have the ffc feature since it won't work as well over 3g, and data traffic would be horrible, imagine all the over 3 million galaxy s devices ffc-ing in the US, lol.. well not literally ffcing at the same time but they didn't wanna take the risk.. i could be wrong though about all this..

maybe it's a lot easier for other manufacturers or devices because the soc on their devices have been around longer than the hummingbird has, so it wasn't hard for the manufacturers to update their devices (snapdragon-n1/ti omap-droid) galaxy s was announced in may i believe, froyo source code was out in June or july? And also the galaxy s is on many different countries around the world on different carriers while the evo, droid x are only US specifics..

I don't know who to blame, I'm also waiting for the update but I don't mimind the wait, i honestly don't care much about 2.2.. besides adw ex seemed to make my phone faster lol (no lag fix).. but if I'd blame anyone for this prolonged wait, ill blame TMobile... oh no i blame samsung.. oh wait it's TMobile... ughh whatever.. lol
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
How ddoes the Canadian fascinate look like? Like the fascinate on verizon? It's already updated right? Then how come the US version one doesn't have it yet, they sure are identical and came out first on verizon than the one on telus... that's weird..

off topic.. i used to not have 3g in my room until yesterday i now have 3g... great!!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
You just answered your own question too?

International read the word, INTERNATIONAL.

Thats sold all

over the world, meaning it gets more priority than the ones just sold in the USA.

If you were a company with approx. 10 million phones out there;

which market would you first give all your companies efforts to?

the one thats been sold the most, which is the international one.
[Vibrant General] PeterHook:
People just do not understand that they are not the center of the universe.

From your point of view Samsung/tmobile must release froyo to satisfy your needs.

Their point of view is to keep majority of their clients happy. If they do not release froyo then a few thousand xda galaxy users will switch to HTC. If they do release froyo and it screws the phones of 5% (or maybe 100%) of their clients they will lose tens if not hundreds of thousands of happy clients that didn't ask or knew about froyo.

If I were in charge of android in Samsung/tmobile I would only release updates that fix things that got broken. I would leak froyo to xda to satisfy your needs though.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
perfectly said man

Couldn't agree more
[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
It would be nice to at least get as much from Samsung.

Samsung's strategies:

1. Lie about the updates

2. Blame the customers for things that are broken.

hey guys... how does a kingston 32gb class 4 compare to the sandisk class 32gb microsdhc card?

in terms of performance? i know kingston is a reputed brand....but sandisk usually ranks quite high in the memory card dept....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lgkahn:
sandisk may be good now but their 16gb were pure trash.. i will never buy another sansdisk after i had 4 16gb cards fail on 3 diff phones..

i now use a-data 16gb class 6 cards.. never had a failure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cproaudio:
I just got a SanDisk 32GB card in an AT&T branded packaging from ebay for $70 shipped. I didn't want to risk buying Sandisk packaging or bulk packaging at lower price due to too many fakes. The AT&T branded packaging and the Verizon branded packaging are guarantee legit as it's a regional packaging only available in the U.S. After receiving the card, I tested it with H2testW 1.4 The performance is 5.47MB/s write and 14.8MB/s read. The total test time is a little over 2 hours and 7 minutes and it passed as a legit 32GB MicroSD card. This is easily a class 4 card. I read benchmarks that the Kingston's 32gb write speed is slower than Sandisk but the read speed is faster. I do notice one flaw that I was not able to flash the ROM from this card. I copied the same file to a 2GB card and was able to flash.

Why do some apps not show up in the Android market on the Archos 101? For example, I use an app called My Backup Pro...it doesn't show up. I searched for Lookout Mobile...it doesn't show...neither does Norton Mobile Security. I searched around but didn't find an answer to this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Hi guys,

I have the same issue this my archos 101.

I found the solution on another forum:

1- Clear the android market cache

2- Force to stop the google framework service

3- clear the cache of the google framework service

4- Reboot your tablet

This solved similar issue for me

I hope it can help you

Paid Apps Outside US?

I installed v5-final and have done the market fix several times but I only get free apps - NO paid ones. The catch is that I am located in Costa Rica - could someone comfirm that paid apps are only available in North America/Europe. If ALL (free and paid) apps are available everywhere then I have to figure out my problem, if not, I will just buy apps like crazy when I am back in the states (unless someone knows a work-around).

Titanium backup in use?

i need to ask everyone with this issue, is everyone having this issue using titanium backup, and only seems to have problems after pulling from titanium's backup?

ill give my reasoning for this question...if you are having an issue, with certain apps just vanishing from the market on your phone.... even if you know its installed....

have a look at the list of questionable apps in TB, is there a yellow ball, with NO "M" overlaying it.... this may be the issue... you may have to delete all backup s for said app that DO NOT have a "M" ...wipe that apps data (in TB) and trying to restore from a backup that DOES have the "M"

:rolleyes:

please check this out, and let me know if i figured this out right... i have spent way too long pulling my hair out over this...and it seems like this was a fix for me...so far... ill edit in a few days if it all holds out

additional, if you are getting an "app incompatible" in the market... and have changed your LCD density , you will have to change it back to its default (240 for the DX) the new market seems to check for that.. and must label the device as unusable with the app, even if you KNOW its working just fine... i hope the market gets fixed to tolerate this...but im sure its part of the NEW market compatibility check :cool:
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joel.bourquard:
Hi Migamix,

If you have backups that don't contain a Market link, no need to delete them because they won't interfere - as long as you restore the one that has the link, of course.

When batch restoring it's a bit different, the latest backup for the chosen platform is picked, so you have to ensure that that one has a Market link.

But in any case, if you have the PRO version you can long-click and force attach it to to Market afterwards.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migamix:
the force to market did not work for me, at all...many times, many tries.. some days im on a rom flashing fest...and some of those times ive done a batch restore and had only 20 apps in my market list.. its odd but it seems the only time it worked for me was after having the market attached "M" notification on all the files i wanted...i looked at this issue after letting the market auto restore post rom install, and manually pushed a few more that were causing problems...but i saw how 80% of the apps i restored (data only) refused to keep a link to the market... poked around.... uninstalled a problem app... noticed one of my older backups had an "M" while the rest didn't...so, i used that backup, and moments later that app was available in the market, and had an update... so i went and did it with a few more.... all those apps i managed to get installed in this fashion...still after 3 days, have not dropped their market links...where as...sometimes after a force market linking...would only last an hour if at all

i wanted to post this because i saw how many others were having the exact issue...i wanted to see if there is something in the way TB communicates with the data of the market ...causing market link confusion... :confused:

it seems like there needs to be a little more work with the market tools in TB....

ps, there also a setting i messed with that changed the way TB was getting market links... i think it was turning off accurate market check...

hopefully this post doesn't require too much re-reading....im a bit of a bad multitask'r sometimes :D
[Epic 4G General] urirx98:
ok I searched thru all threads, im trying to create a backup with clockwork. I have rooted with clockworkmod and have no clue how to get to it. I am a noob but have rooted and have flashed FROYO on my EPIC. I do have titanium backup aswell, but lookin for the other backup incase i decide to flash back to stock for the OTA FROYO. THanks, Please STEP BY STEP, Or atleast point me to a thread that tells it cause ive been searchin for a hour now :(
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Hold Down the power,volume up,volume down and camera all at the same time and you are know in clockwork.

Also to navigate in it use the voulume up down and camera to select.

Also you can use the keyboard dpad with the enter button for select.

Another nice button combo is camera,power and volume up i think is a soft reset. :)

Hope this helps.

:)
[Epic 4G General] urirx98:
that isnt working for some reason, just reboots back to up. I was holding volume rocker, power and camara. do i have to do something before i shut down? or start to reboot when the lights are on after shutting down??
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
When the phone is on hold:

Power

Camera

Volume up

Volume Down

It will work believe me..

Just keep trying sometimes if you miss a key it will activate the reboot button combo..

If your phone is off: Hold camera power and volume down i think...
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
The phone has to be powered off. And then you hold volume down button, camera and power button until you are at the green cwm menu.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
no it doesnt it can be on and you can hold both volume rockers, camera and power and it will take you to clockwork with out power off..

But yes your way works with the phone off..
[Epic 4G General] trbloomer:
For Sh*ts and giggles I thought I'd try both methods mentioned here and yes they both work.

[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
It's finally driven me to the point that I'm just going to sell the Nexus for a profit and get a G2. I can't take picking up my phone every single time I want to check if I have a message. I've never had a smartphone without this feature, and it's just a nightmare. :(
[Nexus S General] jinvox:
I do miss having an LED indicator too... but I wonder if they took it out due to battery life reasons. Is there an app that can help give better indications in case for missed calls or texts that can do a reminder without an LED indicator... maybe even use the LED light on the back of the camera is better than nothing ;)
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i would say just wait until someone makes it so it uses the LEDs under the softkeys as notification lights :(
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
It's just not the same!
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
That would work fine for me, if only someone would write it!
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Use NoLED, works great for me. I like it more than the trackball notifications on my N1 now, they look awesome on the screen.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
I don't want to power-on the screen for a notification that may be left un-noticed for an hour.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
I didn't really like the idea of NoLED either but I just decided to try it for the hell of it. I use the blink mode and set the time out to 1 hour so if it's idle for an hour the notifications will stop. I've checked the battery drain and it seems to be quite small with blink mode at least (since I'm only having it display the notifications for 1 second every 30 seconds). So really, 2 seconds of screen time every minute, which is about 120 seconds every hour, or about 2 minutes of screen time where it's mostly black and a few lit pixels, and then after that 1 hour it stops.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
I tried noled but must confess I never spent any time setting it up so the battery drain I noticed may have been avoidable.

Just to pick up on the above... I'd want the notifications instantly obvious so that a quick glance at my phone would notify me of any messages. Using the above method I'd only see a notification for some of the time and not all.

Lighting up the bottom buttons would be a much better option for me but in the meantime I might try noled again.
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
Other than the fact that they're not colored, seems a bit better IMO, more noticeable. Also, battery drain really is minimal with NoLed...
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
The three pixels on the screen drawing power aren't going to impact your battery life heavily.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
to be honest id be more paranoid about burn in , cuz really if i get a text when im sleeping and it goes unnoticed for 8 hours then what
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
With NoLED you can set notification timeouts, I have mine set to 30 minutes because I always have my phone near me and 30 minutes is plenty. I also have it set to use the Proximity sensor so that if the phone is in my pocket it's not displaying any notification, only when you remove the phone from your pocket and the proximity sensor detects that it's clear will it display the notification instantly. You can also set a "sleep" time for notifications, so I have mine turn off at 2am and turn back on at 6am.

If there is any increased battery drain I haven't noticed it, but then again I don't leave notifications on flashing for hours either.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
The notifications move around the screen to prevent any pixel burn-in. You can set them to timeout after a certain amount of time also.

Have you guys even bothered trying out NoLED? Haha
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Good to know but on top of that don't the notifications move around the screen?

Edit: ikon beat me to it.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
NO!, i fear change! :p
[Nexus S General] rashad1:
Have the phone make a sound/vibrate. No need to pick it up.

or download noLED. Problem solved.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
I've made a couple posts in the Poor Battery Life on NS? thread( such as http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10143276&postcount=159) detailing my experience with the Nexus S's battery.

I use noLED as my notification system with large icons rather than the default little dots and no time out method. The only other special thing I've done to it is turn on the proximity sensor so noLED doesn't run while it's in my pocket. My boss likes to do a lot of paperwork in the super late evening/early morning and sends me emails accordingly(this is why I don't leave the sound/vibrate on, lol). noLED's impact on battery life is extremely negligible. I would put it on par with the power with the power consumption of an actual LED notification light due to the way SAMOLED and blacks work.

And, if you're worried about burn in, like someone said, the icons shift around the screen in order to avoid that.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
that proximity sensor idea while its in your pocket, genius
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Just tried noled again and am noticing a few force close errors.

What settings are best for this app and when a notification is received, what are you using to wake tje phone again as the power button causes issues as explained in the splash screen after install?

I'm also seeing all the bottom buttons light up as well as the notification on the screen, is this normal and if so is this not consuming battery unnecesarily?

Seems a tad buggy to me this app on the Nexus S. Would appreciate exact settings / configuration from anyone that has it running satisfactorily.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
yea, there's a few bugs. I get occasional force close message when I clear a notification, using the back button, but I just hit 'Wait' and it goes away and continues to work fine. The dev said he's basically away until mid jan and he doesn't have a gingerbread device to test with yet but he should be able to get those little bugs fixed.

Follow the original thread here.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Thanks, your link goes to someones profile though :)
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Oops, fixed it. That was the dev's profile.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
Yeah, I don't understand either ... Sound / Vibrate is not enough?

I imagined the phone is in my pocket, someone calls or texts me ...

The phone will sound / vibrate and I will know that event ...

If I don't know ... then the phone is still in my pocket ...

Which again, I will not know the event ... UNTIL I take out the phone and TURN IT ON ...

Normally, I should see the missed call / text icon in the notification bar, correct?

Now, why do I need that notification LED?

Oh right, I think some of you will occasionally take the phone out just to check the notification LED? :)

In that case, I am fine ... because I have never done that !

The only LED that I do care on my HTC Desire ... is the green led when the charging done :D

Other than that, I don't care with notification LED!
[Nexus S General] Michigan Jason:
that is precisely the reason i have my timeout set to 5 mins. If i dont cath the notification, in 5mins it is off. The only time i dont check my phone within every 5 mins, I am sleeping, and at that time the phone is on the charger so whatever no biggie..
[Nexus S General] jayvan:
The only time I get force close is when using ADW as my launcher.

I also have LauncherPro installed and when I use that or the native Android home, NoLED never force closes.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure the fault is NoLED. I didn't think I would miss the led notification, (but I did) and NoLED works for me.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
For myself, while I'm at work I have my phone sitting on my desk so i don't want to have to push the power button all day long to turn the screen on just to check if I have any notifications.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Would be nice to see a charged notification included in this app, or even a standalone one.
