nfs shift

i have galaxy 3 ....and nfs shift is runs on my g3

im using chinfire 3d......
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] spidy2705:
Keep the APK file of NFS shift and Chainfire anywhere in you SD Card and extract the data to Android/Data/*HERE*. The name of the data folder after extraction should be something like 'com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf'. Then install NFS shift(apk) and Chainfire 3D(apk) then extract the Plug - ins anywhere in the SD Card(name of the plugins should be something like POWERVR.ZIP, QUALCOMM.ZIP and NVIDIA.ZIP). Then open chainfire3D and go to 'install plugins/Shaders' and install the three plug - ins then in chainfire3D go to 'OPEN GL settings' then tick on 'Reduce texture quality' and then open 'use plugins' and select 'Qualcomm'.

There will a black screen problem when we start a race. You simply have to lock the phone in that black screen and after unlocking, you'll be at the pause menu resume it to continue
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
So, here's the thing. I bought my EVO at Radio Shack. 2 days after having it, I dropped it and it scratched the screen and marked up the bezel a little bit. I was going to just go get the screen repaired for 35 dollars and then return it at RS since I'm within the 30 days, but Sprint won't fix it cause it's a cosmetic issue, not a functionality thing. I don't want to purposefully break the screen just to get that fixed. If I was to sell the phone for 200 before the end of the 30 days and pay the 200 dollar ETF, would that be possible or would Sprint try to charge me retail for the phone (because the 30 days isn't up).
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
You can ask.

I read this as "I scratched my phone and now I don't want it."

Call a sprint store anon, and tell them exactly what happened, what you want to do, and how to best handle the situation. I find honesty will get you the best advice.
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
Close. I scratched the phone when considering current and upcoming phones (Nexus S and Optimus 2X).
[EVO 4G General] dtr145r:
i dont see why sprint wouldnt replace the screen...

maybe take it to a different sprint store.
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
I was told that it was cosmetic. Since it doesn't affect the functionality, then they won't. It's not a crack, just some heavy scratches.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Then crack the screen and have a woman take it in there. I bought my mom an evo and 1st day she dropped it caused a thin split down the middle. We also got it from radio shack. She said she walked in sprint store told them what happ and they offered to fix it for free. But when I called they told me I have to use my insurance. Moral of the story is boobs always win no matter how old lol.
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
I lol'd. Or maybe if I threaten to cancel service.. >.>
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Just have a woman do it and watch the magic, threats don't always work. Grandmas mothers girlfriends strippers anything with out a wenis will work.
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
You might want to call radioshack and talk to them... I doubt they would take back a refurbished phone when they gave you a brand new phone. I believe the charge if the phone isn't in like new condition and you are returning it should be $35 anyhow..... but there you have a good reason to get your phone from a sprint store (or whatever brand you go with) instead of radioshack/best buy.
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
I've never heard of that. >.>
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
So, I went to RS and talked with them. They won't take the phone since it's scratched. I also went to Sprint and was told if I cancel my service, I will be charged the full price of the phone since I'm within the 30 day period. If I wait until after the 30 days is up, will they charge me the ETF and not the full price?
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
We've had scratched phones returned at my store before, light cosmetic damage. Maybe radioshack if different. What city are you in?
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
Cincinnati. But I found a different solution. I'm going to just end service with Sprint after the 30 days and sell the phone for 250. That'll take care of the ETF at least.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dawnluczak:
i just got a fascinate and I love it except for ONE thing. I hate that I cant stop the preview of my text messages when they come in. For this reason alone I want to go to Hancent or ChompSMS. However, I like the style of the stock messaging app on the fascinate. Iplayed with handcent and Chomp for hours and just cant get it customized to look like the stock fascinate messaging app.

Has anyone done this that would be willing to list the settings with me?

thanks so much!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hangman_:
Hello everyone,

I received a Samsung Vibrant S for christmas and am a real noob to the android scene. I come from the world of WinMo 5.0 so please bear with me.

I have been playing with this thing for a just a few days so far and am hesitant to root the phone as I don't know yet all the features I currently have in my possession, let alone the amount of money this 'super computer' costs. But I am enjoying the phone so far.

So, I have at the moment just a few questions and would really like your opinions and suggestions on what you use to do certain things.

My Vibrant has the Eclair 2.1-upd1, UVJI6. I'm currently running the system without a data plan, just a basic phone service. With my WinMo 5.0 and having internet at home, a wifi on the rails to/from work, internet at work, there is no need to spend an extra 30 a month for a data plan.

First, I need to sync my outlook calendar on my desktop to the phone. I have tried Kies but the thing doesn't recognize the phone half the time and the other half is used in trying to figure out why there is no connection.

[Q] What do you use to sync your calendar events with an XP / Windows7_64 MS outlook calendar? I am not necessarily interested in syncing email, I have enough of that already, no need to add it to my phone. I would like to sync my personal contacts though, seperate from those at work.

[Q] I have noticed there are very few places to download an APK file. Most are simply installed from the market. From the old WinMo 5.0 days, I had to watch what applications would run on what systems, so my practice has been to download the application and save it to a disk so when I needed to reset my phone/PDA, I could just pull the applications off the disk. You can't do that now with the market. So what do you use to back up your purchased/free applications so you can get them back if you need to?

[Q] I've noticed there are so many upgrades that can be done to this phone, and with all the posts here at XDA, it is very overwhelming. My question here is what about the apps from the market, can they be used with any version of android?

[Q] I have many more questions, but I know you all would simply refer me to the endless amount of posts and suggest I do a little research. The problem I am finding with this approach is the mass amount of data and all the little quirks that set one issue/solution different from another. You can easily spend weeks going through page after page to try and get an answer to a single question. So my last question is this; Do you have any suggestions on how to weed through this conglomerate data to find what you seek without spending too much time?

Thank you all for your insight and hospitality. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
First off I would say check out the bible in the development section . You will find most of your answers there . As for your question about app capability most android apps will run on any android phone with a few exceptions . To back up your apps you could use	TitaniumBackup but you most be rooted . Read up before you do anything . If you get stuck our are uncertain just ask . The community is usually very helpful .
[Omnia 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
Hello,

I have left the USB cable at home and I would like to be able to sync my phone with my PC while I am away.

If I am not able to get ahold of the right cable, is there maybe another Windows phone or Samsung USB cable I can use?

Please reply - thanks in advance,

isnt it just a standard micro usb cable?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grantzxr:
Hi I moved from my HD2 to a Desire HD back in november i loved my HD2 but the battery and very disapointing camara on the DHD have made me question if i have made a mistake. So how is the camara and whats the battery life like ? should i move?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
Its preference, no one can tell you what they think of the phone. its all just opinion. I think the camera is great and the battery life is just as amazing, but someone else will tell you otherwise
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slateac:
Here is my quick comparison

DHD pros:

Bigger Screen

Better build quality

Better Camera/Video

SD Card

NS pros:

Better Screen Quality

Better CPU

Faster Updates

Better Battery

16GB built-in

It would depend on what features suit you the most. And if it's worth trading.

Personally, I would go for the Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoms04:
I sold my DHD and purchased a Nexus S about a week ago and i'm so glad i did :)

I was also very dissapointed with the camera on the DHD, the photos i've taken on my Nexus S look better even though the DHD has better hardware.

Battery Life for me has been much better than the DHD .... 3rd charge and i've just had 32 hours from 100% to 8%
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Having had both for a short time I'd have to say I much prefer the nexus s.! Much more convenient as a phone and a whole lot nicer to use in my opinion.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syphon Filter:
I changed from an HD2 to the Nexus S.

I've had HTC phones for a number of years now and I fancied a chance, Desire HD is basically an HD2 with Android on it right?

Anyway, I agree the HTC build/materials are better but the Nexus S is a fairly nifty device and I'm quite enjoying my first Android device.

If only they'd used metal for the battery cover...oh and I didn't think I'd miss a notification LED but I do...not convinced about NoLED yet. I dont like that it jumps around. I prefer if it just blinked spot on the screen or something.

->Extract it using the latest 7zip version (either directly to your SD Card or to a folder of your choice)

->Copy the "Android" folder to the root of your SD Card.

->Install a boot Loader, recommended: Exceller's Boot Loader (or) Use file explorer on windows mobile, and browse to the "Android" folder, and run "CLRCAD.exe" followed by "haret.exe".

Why THIS version? ... no reason, just the first I laid eyes on out of MANY....:D
[Galaxy Tab General] Cheeze[iT]:
Is there a better to use that still utilizes the flash support? The browser seems to really lag on some sites and isnt as smooth.
[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
The browsing experience magnifies greatly after flashing to some different roms.

Roto's rom has changed my opinion of the Tab on a whole. I now do things on the tab that I was going back to my lap top to do.

There are lots of threads on which browser to use. However, my personal favorite is Miren with the default browser being second.

I can not stress enough how much of an improvement a rom can make.
[Galaxy Tab General] Cheeze[iT]:
Ok, I usually flash custom roms on my android devices but I thought this was ok, but I'll try some custom roms out. Thanks.

I don't see many different roms? Am I missing something? Whats the one getting the most interest these days?
[Galaxy Tab General] heythorp:
There are a lot of threads talking about a lot of roms and some of them will "lock" you into only being able to use 4 different roms (they have bootloaders, before you flash make sure the rom you are using does not have a bootloader).

AT&T and TMob tabs can use Clubtechs files or Roto's. I had very good success doing what is in my sig.
[Galaxy Tab General] Phone_Junkie:
I could not agree more. The browsing experience prior to flashing Roto's JMC was horrific. I am very pleased that I flashed! My Tab now runs smooth as could be when browsing and in general. I too am using Miren browser and have it set to default with the native browser in 2nd.

I use dolphin HSBC with the adblock plugin

Edit: dolphin hd even - HTC autocorrect for you
[Galaxy Tab General] Geletis:
I'm using the stock rom with with no changes and have a magnifigent browsing experience with Miren.

Though I would strongly recommend setting Flash to "on demand".

In Miren, it's adjusted in Settings/Advanced/Web Page/Display Flash Content/ "Show on Demand"
[Galaxy Tab General] Squishie:
I almost exclusively use Miren Browser. It's flat-out the best of the best. Fast, feature rich, excellent tab management and looks damned good to boot. My only real gripe is how slow it handles the World of Warcraft forums, HOWEVER that is entirely on WoW's end, not Miren's. It's a javascript/html5 heavy site.

I don't even touch Dolphin. Evil laggy browser.

My chat with Samsung today...

Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Stella'

Visitor: hello stella

Stella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Stella: Hi, Please go ahead with the query.

Visitor: i own a vibrant and want to know when i will get the froyo update pls

Stella: I understand that you are looking for Android 2.2 update for your Samsung Mobile. Am I correct?

Visitor: yes

Stella: Thank you for the confirmation.

Stella: Unfortunately, as of now Android 2.2 is not Officially released in US.

Visitor: WHEN will it be released

Visitor: i will not buy another samsung product because of this

Stella: Unfortunately there is no update available at this time for your phone, nor is there an estimated date of one being released. We are unable to speculate when/if a software revision might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.

Visitor: hmm

Visitor: how do i return my product

Visitor: can i send it to you guys for something different

Visitor: something with 2.2 installed

Visitor: the only reason i bought this phone was to use skype but that is not available until 2.2 is released

Stella: As 2.2 is not yet released, as of now there is no phone with the 2.2 built in.

Stella: I understand that you have been waiting for the update for so long.

Stella: However, the update should be released in upcoming days.

Visitor: days and not weeks?

Visitor: hello?

Samsung Voice Support at 1-877-EZ2GALAXY (1-877-392-4252). They are available Mon.-Fri. 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. CST, Sat. 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. CST.

funny how stella has no update info and cannot speculate when an update might be available

then it will be available in days not weeks

Yea heard this a million times before. Reminds me of my Motorola Cliq days! Welcome to Samrola!

It'll get here when it gets here guys.

Thank god none of you were waiting for GT5, I could imagine all the calls Sony would get.
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
Seems I re-call a post awhile back with Stella as the same CSR.... and she said the exact same thing to this person she said to the last "DAYS"...

I think this is Samsungs standard scripted reply to consumers asking this question. So if anyone does call this will be the same message you will receive also..
[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
Let's face it. We, customers, cannot pressure Samsung to do anything. Samsung simply does not care about us. You want to make a difference, stop buying Samsung products. That is the only way to make Samsung to listen to consumers.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
probably.

I just called in and they told me that it was coming in the next few days, and i asked for exact specific date, they told me they were unsure and didn't know of the update.

Samsung's just pissing me off everyday theres no official froyo.

i hope their working on gingerbread for us... those bastards.

Bull.

Look at it this way, your a tmobile customer, you have a upgrade, and your looking to get a new phone, you go and see some phones, the most noticeable are, the Vibrant, or HTC... something can't remember name, those are the best phones for Tmobile.

I went on and bought a vibrant because there are about 200 if not more HTC, and i'd heard good things about vibrant. so i bought it.

I still love my phone, just not the customer support by Samsung, Tmobile's doing good for me on customer support.

Maybe you won't buy samsung products, maybe a few hundred won't.

They have TOO MANY PRODUCTS. You can't go and avoid every samsung product, theyre in every market that involves technology, and are a well known brand.

NOT buying their products wont hurt them, it'll hurt you and only you.

a few hundred people, they don't care about, and you certantly will NEVER get everyone who has a Galaxy S (over over 6 million people) to stop buying their products.

thats just way out of hand.
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
and to add...the only ones freaking out about froyo are the small few here on xda and small amount in the world that are even aware of it...most of the comsumers I am sure are happy with the Vibrant and not knowing about modding, updating etc on their phones.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
yeah it will be available for more than 30 days but not more than 4 weeks.
[Vibrant General] djm3ph:
ha ha ha. That's the reason i sold my cliq.

I know Samsung and Motorola and even HTC are slow on the updates because of them skining Android.

Hence i no longer wait.

I am runing Nero v3 because i don't want to wait for Samy like i waited for moto.

[Vibrant General] denny_1986:
Stella obviously lied to you

[Vibrant General] lexluthor:

The clueless OP epidemic continues.

Who believes anything a level 1 CSR says? Really?

If you really mean that, then you completely failed with your topic name. Sure looks like completely believed stella originally and was coming here to give us the great news.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Actually I think that sentence is a preprogrammed one they use as it seems that every time a person ask them about the update that is the answer they get. I got it a while ago as well when I was chatting with one of the samsung reps.
[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
Wrong assumptions from the first to the last sentence, literally.

Why would I give my hard earned money to the company that doesn’t care about customers?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Sooo... at this point is it Samsung or T-Mobile that is the holdup? I've seen claims that Samsung has already delivered the final build to T-Mo, but no real proof...
[Vibrant General] asmodyus:
Sounds like an Idea as anybody been able to get them to send you a G2 for your vibrant maybe call and complain or something.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
okay prove them wrong, i'll gladly argue on.

You give your hard earned money to the company, because you bought the product, they didn't go "BUY THIS WE'LL GET YOU THE FROYO RIGHT AFTER YOU DO!"

They said froyo will come out soon. soon can mean a minute, a day, a decade, a century.

NO company thats big, microsoft, apple, samsung, google...

care about less than .5% of their consumers.

If somehow we managed to bring the PRESS into this and get them talking about samsung having NO customer support, then yes, we can hurt them business-wise.

but a few hundred people not buying their products won't do anything.

If you won't buy that product, someone else will.

There are 310,552,747 people in the U.S.

take out 5 million, and maybe more from that.

There's still 300Million and more people who CAN buy the product.

not to mention the whole world.

6,890,405,157 population.
[Vibrant General] larryvand:
You answered your own question. Samsung has had the international Galaxy S Froyo update out for months now. That version DOES NOT have crapware like the Tmo, verizon, AT&T and Spint versions. The reason for the delay is not Samsung but all the American carriers and their crapware. So stop blaming Samsung. Go buy the international version of Galaxy S. It has Froyo and none of the crapware that Tmo puts on theirs.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Then how come there are updates many months back for the droid x, incredible, mt3g, etc? Those all have crapware? How do you explain that then?

It's samsung, no other way to look at it.

Perhaps you can say that it's because each us carrier customized the hardware for the galaxy s, but that still goes back to samsung allowing that. If they thought that would prevent then from delivering 2.2, they should not have allowed it.

Don't know why you don't want to pin this on samsung, but I could argue this with you all day long. To me, it's totally obvious.
