[HD2 Android NAND Development] deano309:
This method does still work... I followed this guide to get the base files which I needed (Took them from a Typhoon ROM).

I can now "convert" any of the MIUI or CyanogenMod 7 roms stable or nightly (MIUI has an official HD2 release now anyway and no cooking is needed).

I simply download the file, unpack it and copy my files into the folder, overwriting all that it asks. I then zip it up and flash to the phone... no faults :)

I haven't tried with any of the sense roms but as far as I am aware, you need to use a kernel which is compatible with the base files (eg. My base is from Typhoon who uses a Tytung kernel)?!?! I'm really not to sure if this would work with sense builds because I have only been dealing with CM7.... May give it a try later to see how I get on!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ambious:
Apart from the kernel, I'm concerned about missing drivers/libraries. As opposed to MIUI/CM7, Sense based roms don't have a repository or nightlies (as far as I can tell, at least - please correct me if I'm wrong) so there's really nowhere to get your 'sources' from.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] deano309:
You're right, there are no frequent updates, however if the correct library files can be found/sourced/written (Extracted from any/all available HD2 sense roms?!), then theoretically, any new rom can be made. This is how people started porting the sense 3.0 (And why it still has glitches).

Sense is tied into a lot more than the librarys, it has dependancies in many of the jar files (Try installing a sense app on CM7 & that's why it doesn't work).

So porting/converting the sense is a lot harder than MIUI or CM7, not just due to the libs but the way in which htc have almost "Wrapped" the rom to depend on itself!

Since MIUI and CM7 have a frequent update routine, it's good to be able to use these on our devices asap (I just love playing really) but from my understanding, the chefs who port the sense roms do it very well and their methods are far beyond the standard "Cut-and-paste" method which I use which results in an almost error free rom :)

My thoughts:

If I want a updated rom with bells, whistles and the occasional FC I will make my own MIUI or CM7.

If I want to use a sense rom I would probably just use one already cooked and accept the fact that it's not the newest but possibly the most stable :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thyrador:
does any 1 knows what process is urgent needet to run the scanner without fc?

i've cleaned up my phone and really no scanner works after that.

any solutions? is it possible to figure out what process for an app is needed?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
Likely a process related to the camera. Trial and error?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thyrador:
the camera works fine, that isn't the point

i tried to delete the apps seperately and tested after that. all working fine, but if i restart my phone it seems that the scanner is broken again.

everytime restarting after delete 1 app is quite a bit frustrating
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
search it has been discussed previously..

too lazy..

put the email.apk back in /system/app and run once on boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thyrador:
i havent found any discussion there, so i started this topic.

it seems that putting email.apk do the trick, even with a correct mtp-connection.

i cant understand why it's so serious, but it does the work.

thanks for your help, you getting me bit closer to absolutely clean my phone.

if anyone knows which processes aren't really needed for daily use feel free to list them up (a little explain what the process does/is used for would be nice)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] raggededge:
Anybody have the apk for the red box app? Not the app that gives you the codes, but the official red box reserve app. I can't find it searching the market and I've done the market fix.

Thanks!

Finally it showed up after flashing to Vegan 5.1.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gksmith:
I still don't see it. I can with my HTC Evo.
[HD2 General] LePaul:
Hi all - 1st post and I hope I'm not making an eegit of myself.

I recently installed Office 2010 onto my desktop and also ran the Tweaks from the RRibeiro thread. Result was complete loss of notifications which was discussed in detail. Second issue (I guess related to Office installation) is that My Docs sub folders are empty. The actual sub folders can be seen but the docs that were in the sub folders dont show. They can be seen in the Desktop folder used to sync but when I go into WMDC and look in the folders there and on my HD2 they are empty. I did a factory reset to see if that would help but the sub folders remain empty. The notification issue was resolved of course.

Is there an issue of compatibility between WMDC and Office 2010. My OS is Vista and I previously used Office 2003.

I did do a search before posting but I couldnt find anything that matched my problem.

As an aside, this is a terrific forum. I spend ages just reading the many class posts. Thanks folks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumatism:
Does anyone know of a good wallpaper switcher at all? i did try one ages ago, however since the update to it, it doesnt work and has not been updated since. I did try taskers built in app switching ability with shortcuts, however it cant resize the images to fit. any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] JDx1213:
I currently have a custom ROM (Axura on Vibrant) and I"m wondering when I want to update the ROM do I have to competely wipe the device again or just install the ROM over the current one and their wont be any problems and all current data will remain?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Big Lou:
During the holidays, I took several flights all over the US. While in the airport, I used wireless tether to connect my laptop to the internet. I also had several other users connect to my 3G--something I didn't mind unless I received slowdowns.

What I was wanting to know is would it be possible to create a custom home page that users will be brought to when they open the browser under my wireless connection? I would love to have a few links to my personal website--perhaps even a paypal donation link for those feeling generous after leeching my 3G. Is this even possible on an Android device? I know I can set this up on my home WiFi connection... but I'm assuming this is an entirely different beast.

Thanks for the help!

Sounds pretty cool!

[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
I am in love with this Nexus-S, my fav Android phone by far, and in the past I have owned; MyTouch 3G...Nexus-One...EVO 4G...

I really like the compact size and lightweight feel to it, but still feels like a solid device to me, and it is super thin for a powerful smart phone, plus of course the S AMOLED screen is drool worthy. And battery life is way better than the EVO. And to top it off, being a Google developer phone, comes with no carrier bloatware, or manufacturer UI's, and is a "pure" Android phone with the latest OS.

But...T-Mobile is a deal breaker for me, compared to Sprint for connection. In Chicago it is pretty good, just sucks once inside houses or buildings. I own a Millwork supply business for custom home builders, and I am in and out of new homes a lot, and it seems to drop signal once I go inside a new construction building. Same with my own home, I have my Office in Basement, and it is like 90% loss of signal down there. I can never make or receive calls down there, but texting is good. Where as my EVO on Sprint, worked pretty good in the Basement, not perfect, but much better than the Nexus-S, and going to job sites, my EVO never dropped calls. And Navigation on the Nexus-S, I have had a few slight issues, just having hard time locating me, that has only happened three times so far, had to restart phone each time. But my EVO the 6 months I owned it, I can remember maybe once it not locating me. Again I blame this on T-Mobile not the Nexus.

But T-Mobile monthly is approx $30 cheaper per month which is nice. But then what good is saving thirty bucks, if I drop signal indoors, and somewhat spotty navigation service. Not sure what to do...I bought the Nexus-S on launch day Dec 17th, at Best Buy Mobile, paid cash full retail for the phone, not sure what my return options are ?
[Nexus S General] JasjarMan:
Is your nexus on 3g mode? Have you tried to put it in edge to see if it helps?
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
Tried that this morning, more for battery saving. But then went to make a call, and it screwed up. It was calling my client, but no ringing tone, and I clicked end call, and it just hung there, so I had to restart and tried again in 3G and it worked fine.

I was driving near O'Hare airport at the time, and that area is know to kill cell signals.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
ya T-mo has horrible building penetration but other than that, i love em, great customer service, great speeds, and they are always improving
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
That is my only beef with this phone. "horrible building penetration", too bad that can't be upgraded by T-Mobile. Other than that I LOVE this phone.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
the building penetration has nothing to do with the phone its the frequency that T-mo uses the higher the frequency the worse the building penetration.

Kinda sucks but T-mo is coming out with one of those Cellphone base station signal thingies (forgot what they are really called) so that may help you out
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'm with the OP; best damned phone I've owned in terms of appearance, feel, performance right out of the box...but T-Mo just doesn't deliver in some areas I need it to. When it delivers, it's the best out there, but too many places that indoors it kills the service. When I've got full 3G service it's at least 25% faster than AT&T, and 3-5 times faster than Sprint.

One office building I work out of is T shaped. If you're on the left side of the T, great signal, but go anywhere on the right side of the T and you're in a total dead zone. AT&T's not much better in that building, but in most places of town (Los Angeles SF, SG, SC Valley areas), it's better than T-Mo. Verizon works well there.

To the OP, if you're willing to shell out the dough, about $300, you can buy a cellular signal booster, I did when I got a Nexus One, it allowed me to actually get a T-Mo signal inside my house; I'd recommend one for your basement office if you can run the antenna coax line to outdoors. Voice and EDGE only, though, there's only one brand that claims to do T-Mo AWS/3G right now, and their device is $450.

EDIT: I think this is the model I got for the extender: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Exte...W5WI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294073803&sr=8-1
[Nexus S General] jthornton71707:
Do what I'm doing. Month to month in at&t no data... buy a clear 4g wimax ispot...hack it to work on any device. Only $25 a month works great. I couldn't stand edge but know how crappy tmobile is
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
Thanks for the link, reading the user reviews, makes this sound like exactly what I need for my home Office. But still won't help when out at job sites, and losing signal inside.

So now I need to decide, keep the Nexus-S which I LOVE, but have iffy service inside, or just go back to the EVO with near perfect indoor service ?
[Nexus S General] clubtech:
I am with the OP on this one too.

Best Android phone on the market but T-mobile's coverage inside buildings is sub par.

I understand that the 1700/2100mhz spectrum has harder time penetrating buildings but it should not be THAT bad...

I come from Europe where most of the networks only use 2100Mhz and i don't recall seeing such a penetration issue.

It has to be T-Mobile's lack of towers which results in such poor indoor coverage.

at&t is also 90% 1900Mhz in the SF Bay Area and they have no problem with indoor reception, at least not as bad as T-Mobile.

That's my only main issue with the phone.

I ordered a signal booster from JDteck.com (which are the only ones who are providing a 1700/2100Mhz boosters). I'll report back how it works.
[Nexus S General] allen099:
As of 2009, AT&T moved most of their 3G spec to the 850mhz band, so indoor reception should be EVEN better, or at least battery life should have improved a bit. I remember this was a big issue back in the iPhone days. I'm pretty sure they're entirely on 850mhz.

Whatever happened to that TMo Hotspot@Home thing a few years ago? I remember they did a pilot program and then expanded. It was pretty popular. Too bad they stopped that.

Looks like this is now an error page: http://www.t-mobile.com/promotions/hotspotathomelearnmore.aspx
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Agreed on T-Mo needs more towers, if they weren't so far spread apart, we'd get better penetration in more areas.

Not sure about the AT&T in San Francisco part, though. I've listened to Leo LaPorte, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose and all that ilk ***** and moan about AT&T poor signal/reception on the iPhone in San Francisco for a couple of years until AT&T started rolling out the 850mhz on the 3G side. New York City the same thing - poor AT&T penetration on the 1900mhz side in and amongst all the tall buildings.

I'll be very interested in your report back on that. This is the one I referenced, but not by name, in my earlier post. It didn't seem worth the $200 extra premium to get the AWS service repeated, since in my home I have WiFi anyways, but when I bought the unit I do have, this JDteck one wasn't available.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Not sure what happened to that :( I used to have it as well.

but really i say wait till after CES, rumor is T-Mo will announce their router
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
I'm with T-mobile for their tremendous pricing plan advantage over Att (I'm also in SoCal and T-mobile has tremendous coverage here)

T-mobile: $10 - $20 per month for 5gb of data :D

Att: $25 per month for 2gb of data :(
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
even more savings with em+ 60 bucks 500 minutes, texting and web :)
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
What part of SoCal are you in? I'm in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley most of my time. In the North part of both valleys T-Mo data is EDGE only in large areas, and even voice has a hard time getting into buildings. It's really a bummer when I have to spend time up in Santa Clarita.

My house is actually in a little dead/poor coverage area spot even on T-Mo's maps...it's right on the edge of three different towers that don't quite fully overlap their coverage circles. I can get a signal outdoors, but inside not very good without my cellular extender.

I've still got my grandfathered iPhone SIM for one of my Androids (i9000), $30 for true "unlimited" data, no caps or throttles on that one. Someone told me they're using the unlimted data for non-smartphones on their Galaxy S with AT&T because AT&T can't recognize the IMEI and that it's a smartphone. I think that data is $10/month.

PS. SimplyMobile sounds intriguing. Read some good reports of it in another thread. Uses T-Mo's voice and data service, everything unlimited (voice, text, data (3g)) for $60/mo.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
you have to realize that tmobile's 3g network is still very young, so all the gaps are not filled in which is required for higher frequency networks. since towers need to be spaced closer together for bands such as 1900mhz and higher, i'm sure tmobile only laid out the bare minimum during their initial 3g roll out just to get SOMETHING out there. over time they may fill in the gaps.

and we all know how stellar the coverage is in UK even using the 2100mha band. however its the same story, less physical geography to cover, in addition to better government regulations over there "forcing" one technology standard and set of common frequencies. that makes it much better for ubiquious coverage in general.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
Sorry to hear about your lack of coverage distortedloop :(

I'm in Orange County area and get great coverage around 3 mbps download on my Nexus One.

Yeah I looked into that too (since the Vibrant has Att's 1900 3g band built in and Att won't recognize the IMEI) but I believe the $10 data is only available on a family plan and only if they have the unlimited messaging already on their plan, an extra $20 per month.

So say you do this family plan trick the savings are kind of washed out compared to T-mobile:

$70 per month for 700 minutes

$25 per month for 2gb of data for iPhone

$20 per month for unlimited messaging

$10 per month for "dumbphone" data

___________________________________

$125 per month. Yuck! :(

I'd rather just stick with T-mobile even more plus contract free:

$30 per month 500 min

$10 per month for data

I was wondering about simple mobile and how it worked with the NS..anyone have it?

The guy who started this thread has it.

I've seen some posts where they're saying that "unlimited data" on Simple Mobile actually means 1GB cap. I'd check that out before switching.

[News]10 million Galaxy S phones sold worldwide

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/03/samsung-reaches-goal-10-million-galaxy-s-phones-sold-worldwide/

Samsung reaches goal: 10 million Galaxy S phones sold worldwide

Can't say we're surprised -- after all, last time we checked in the tally was hovering around 9.3 million -- but now Samsung has officially met its goal of 10 million Galaxy S phones sold around the globe. That's less than seven months since the device first hit the market, which by Sammy's fuzzy math averages to about one unit for every two seconds it's been on sale. According to Samsung Tomorrow, North America contributed the most with 4 million in sales, followed by Europe at 2.5 million. Let there be cake, and once that's over, let there be progress on those Froyo updates.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SheerazRaza:
Haha, there is no replacement counting, just pure new Galaxy S handsets which were in the count.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Good for them, I will never buy another after my experience with the Bell Vibrant. Pretty sure I am not alone either.. And since the US users are getting pissed still waiting for 2.2 on all their Galaxy S phones I doubt many of them will either. Enjoy it while it lasts Samsuck.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheetah2k:
While I hate to be devils advocate, I bet a fair few of these were DOA's (at least 10-15%) and they would have accounted for these in sales numbers for sure.

So technically speaking, approx 8.5million would be in the hands of users..

Out of interest, I wonder if the DOA rate was higher-lower than the iphone 4's rates??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
I saw a report a few weeks back that stated something along the lines of (don't quote me on this):

- iPhone had amongst the lowest direct failure rate (e.g. internal memory decides to fail).

- iPhone had amongst the highest indirect failure rate (e.g. you drop the phone and it shatters). Other phones held up much better in these scenarios.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SheerazRaza:
I'll consider it as a rumor, until I see it with my unholy eye.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mortify1:
Seems real.. I mean with both a 4.3" and 4.5" screen. Nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheetah2k:
Thats interesting. My Galaxy S is extremely fragile. Even with a rubberised hard case (the back cover with the little holes in it) I dropped it from 1.5ft (slid out of my shirt pocket) onto my driveway, and landed on the bottom right hand corner and cracked the gorilla glass screen.. Lucky a replacement screen was close at hand, but geeeez its not strong at all - even with a case on it. Should be noted that when it hit the concrete, it actually landed on the corner of the case, but it still cracked the gorilla glass. :mad:

I noticed that the glass is only around 0.6-0.75mm thick too..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
Just curious

What are the selling numbers for iphone4?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
The more you sell the more people youd have complaining about problems.

Its better to have a cheaper phone than an expensive built to last,

Normally people change their phone every 2-3 years..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SheerazRaza:
Then what could be more better than that. Bigger screen, better resolution. More wicked games ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wgradwell:
Great to see something other than the iphone4 in the news!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] airf0rce:
Interesting, my SGS survived aprox 10 falls , no case whatsoever... few of them were really ugly ones (from 1,5m on floor, 1m on the edge of radiator in my room - it even landed on screen :/ ) that made me worried for a second but still phone is just fine, got only one scratch after 4 months of use (no screen protector) which isnt even visible unless you looking for it under direct light.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
Same here. I've dropped it on rocks while out on the trail a couple of times and while the plastic case has endured some scratches, no serious damage was suffered.

cheetah2k, I understand the frustration but you can't assume the phone is crap because you were unlucky.

Yeah. I wonder what they would call a 100% failure rate :) (not that they're at that point yet).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bsamurai:
Samsung, produce more SGS accessories for 10m owner.. Can't you see how big the potential of selling accessories? That's how Apple make money.
