Update: I notice that when this happens there is still a notification in the bar.. is it possible for the light to not clear until the notification goes away? I suppose the problem might be that people use different SMS apps.
[Galaxy 3 General] Neojag:
I'm trying to delete a default application from my droid (WriteandGo) by deleting both the .apk and .odex file from /system/app using root explorer.

The phone is rooted, in Root Explorer and the partition appears mounted as r/w. When I delete both files it works fine and they disappear, but when I go back and then return to the app folder the files are there again. The application never gets uninstalled.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Galaxy 3 General] akash.gpta:
Use titanium backup to uninstall sytem apps..
[Galaxy 3 General] Neojag:
Thanks, it does work, but I'm curious as to why root explorer is failing to delete the files..
[Galaxy 3 General] foobar66:
That is because the /system partition is mounted read only.

To mount read-write, install ADB.

Set phone to USB debug.

Then:

> adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system

Then go the the appropriate directory and remove the files with "rm".
[Galaxy 3 General] Neojag:
So the info Root Explorer is supplying (that the partition is mounted as r/w) is wrong? That's odd, because I've managed to copy a file to /system/etc/.

I kinda knew this would happen.

But.I unmounted my sd card cuz I had.like 3gb left

Now when I run cwm to run a rom, I get this error.

[Focus General] grkmaster:
My friends Samsung Focus seems to have gotten stuck turning on just showing SAMSUNG... phone did not have a SD card in it all. We had tried a sd card but never worked so removed it. About a week later the phone just rebooted and got stuck on boot.. Did the hard reset a few times and nothing? Also I accidentally got the phone in download mode. Since i have a Captivate, ive seen the download mode before and used it for kernels and such.. Is there any use of it on the Focus somehow? It says download mode and then do not turn off. it takes about 10 minutes..

Anyone have any suggestions or know anything? Phone is unlocked for tmobile, so cannot go to ATT to get replaced..

Thanks
[Focus General] seanbrendan:
same issue - samsung black screen no sd card at all

My Focus did the same thing today - it was almost as if an auto update was sent out, and the device reset itself. When I tried to enter my passcode, i got errors, and then upon resetting I became stuck on the black samsung screen. I've tried hard and soft resets with and without the SIM card. Nothing.

Any advice, beyond heading into ATT tomorrow?
[Focus General] grkmaster:
hard reset is the 3 button combo, right? if so whats the soft reset?
[Focus General] seanbrendan:
yes. hard reset is the +, power, camera combo. soft reset is just powering down and then starting back up.
[Focus General] Deadem:
That is the issue I am having with my phones and I believe it is heat related. Check battery meter when you do the battery pull and reboot. Also the battery is warm to the touch also the screen if it stays in the samsung boot mode.
[Focus General] trolane:
mine did the same thing this morning... I have a warranty replacement on the way. Would love to know what/why/ fix etc... though.
[Focus General] Deadem:
I have gotten a new replacement and battery and still have the same issues if I keep it in my jacket or shirt pocket.
[Focus General] grkmaster:
I hope theres a fix soon. My friend uses the phone for tmobile so cant really do anything. I wonder whats really happening with these phones.

That is absolutely weird. This phone really has a big defect then if this happens out of the blue. Not good for Samsung... unless its the software that is screwy
[Focus General] peterfnet:
Just had this happen today.

Stuck at samsung boot logo. Unable to get past it for hours. Getting it replaced tomorrow
[Focus General] peterfnet:
Update on my situation: I was able to had reset it, but it still kept me at the Samsung logo. AT&T replaced it. That solved the problem ;)
[Focus General] Meathooks:
Same issue here with my Rogers Focus, it has happened on two devices now. Would love to know what the problem is, so when I get my third one I can avoid it.
[Focus General] UzEE:
Happened to my Focus as well. Since I'm using an unlocked device and I'm not in the US, it looks like I'm pretty much screwed unless someone comes up with a fix like a ROM or something that can solve the issue.

From what I can tell its not battery related at all. I tried the battery from a Galaxy S I had and still didn't fix the problem.
[Focus General] ASPTHEONE:
The thing is that Samsung of America firmwares are very hard to find. I have find all the Roms on this page http://www.samfirmware.com/ even instrucction on how to flash the phone. The thing is that they only have the Omnia firmwares, we need a i917 Rom. One more thing you can put your phone in Download mode pressing Volume Up and Camera botton simultaneus from there you can flash the Phone. Come on we need a real hacker who can bring us a firmware for this phone.
[Focus General] UzEE:
Going into download mode is pointless until we get a Firmware. Looks like no Dev/Hacker is interested in Samsung Focus right now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] going_home:
Anyone seen any sales numbers on the Nexus S yet ?

If they were flying off the shelf I'd think we'd have seen some press on it by now.

I'm guessing the sales figures are underwhelming.

Maybe thats why the Nexus One is still lonely for Gingerbread ?

:(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
Not sure what the sales figures are, but until this past Sunday - it had not been advertised in the Best Buy flyer (here in Denver CO.). So maybe now, sales will pick up some - since they're finally starting to advertise it...?

P.S. Must not have done too bad in sales, wasn't it back-ordered last week?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyvatron:
Its advertised all over the internet... Google ads have nexus s all over them.

Multiple Best Buy employees told me that when they checked the stock from local stores that all stores in and around Houston Texas were told out in 24 hours. I had to drive 2 hours across town to get the last one from a small town outside of Houston. People in Europe were saying similar things when the Nexus S was released on December 22nd.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
It's hard to deduce real meaning from that kind of anecdotal evidence.

Yeah, stores sold out fast, and in the past we'd have said that meant that the sales exceeded expectations (a good thing), but now part of the marketing campaign on many products is false shortages to artificially create a sense of demand. They only release part of what they expect to actually sell into the retail chain the first week or two to keep the item interesting. Look at the Nexus One, EVO 4G, a couple of the iPhone models, the iPad, etc - all of them sold out the first day or two. Are the planners really that conservative/wrong in their sales forecasts, or are they just playing marketing games?

Until we see some actual numbers there's really no way to know how many of the devices were sold, and whether it's a disappointing number or not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] going_home:
Most Best Buys in this area had like 4 or 5 of them.

Only one store was actually a T-Mobile dealer and they had 70.

So based on almost none in stock, its easy to see how they could

easily be sold out.

Honestly though, Google made a niche phone that the average phone

buyer wont buy.

Even many N1 owners arent buying it.

Is it maybe that the N1 owners expected a major upgrade from their current

phone, and thats certainly not the case at all. :confused:

I know I was underwhelmed by the NS and returned it after a week.

The MT4G is definitely a faster phone, and yes the 4G is in the area.

If nexus one ROM really is being purposely delayed, when it does finally come out it better be solid as a rock with all the extra testing time they get.

Hate to be devil's advocate, but really, Google is no longer obligated to update the Nexus One. Therefore, they'll get to it when they get to it. :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjdaly28:
I am a Nexus One user and I picked up the Nexus S from my local Best Buy about a week ago. It was interesting to me that there was no in-store signage or promotion. As I was waiting for the guy that was helping me to check to see if they had the phone back in stock - ("we were sold out" ) Two other people walked up and asked about the same phone.

I started chatting with them and neither one had previously used an Android device. Both had seen the phone advertised online and thought it looked like a cool phone. I finished up first and left with my phone but I think they both were buying the device as well.

The Best Buy employee I was dealing with said they weren't getting a lot of stock but they were quickly selling out of what they were getting in FWIW.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdi1988:
Best Buy in Northgate - Seattle had huge shelf full of Nexus S. After a few hours on Dec 16, half was gone. I know they eventually sold every single phone since a week later they were out. Had to drive up north to Alderwood to pick up a replacement and even there the stock was limited. So i am guessing the phone sold ok.

Best Buy Mobile in Woodfield mall had signs promoting the Nexus S, and when I went in for an exchange, they had a working demo unit kinda like how apple has their iPhones and iPads at their stores.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isjr:
Nexus phones aren't really about sales they are about setting an example of what an android phone should be. How many phones had 1ghz processors before the Nexus One. Google forced manufacturers to stop making phones that had only weak processors. Manufacturers are only in it for the money and they don't care how bad they make android look, there are a lot of people who say android sucks because they used to own a backflip for example. I think the Nexus S is going to sell a lot more than the Nexus One because after 12 months I only knew of one other person who had one and I bought it for him (he paid me back). In the first week I have already seen or talked to people who know other people that have bought it. It will never sell a lot though not like the Evo or Mytouch, it is not all over TV or carrier approved, they would never let you get away with free tethering.

Hi everyone, I'm a new android/gtab user and looking for some help with installing clockworkmod. I've followed some instructions from this web site. It looks like the installation goes through successfully because I see "Detect a recovery key pressed" followed by "Booting recovery kernel image" after pressing Power and Vol+. A package gets installed and the device reboots normally. they I power down again and try to enter clockworkmod by pressing the Power and Vol+ again and it just keeps doing the same thing over and over. I have in my root the update.zip file and a recovery folder. Am I supposed to delete these after installing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[G Tablet General] baoweezy:
Thanks, I've read it through and had the files on the internal SD card exactly as the image in the link shows. I get the message in the upper left corner saying "Detect a Recovery Key Pressed", and then a 2nd line that reads "Recovery Image Detected. After that I see the cardboard box. The tablet then reboots as normal and I do not see any signs of a clockworkmod menu. Can I use the built in data erase function to restore it back to factory conditions and start over? I have rooted it with z4root.

[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
If you are installing from the internal sdcard make sure the line in the "command" file says "SDCARD" not "SDCARD2"

/sdcard/update.zip

/sdcard/recovery/command

The command file deletes every time you boot into recovery even if it doesn't install cwm. Make sure the file is there and pointing to the right sdcard.

You have to reboot after installing to get into the clockwork menu. Power/Vol+. If it doesn't go to cwm recovery it is not installed

SDCARD!

Jalladi,

That is exactly what mine was doing until I edited the COMMAND file that is in the Recovery folder. In my case, I installed CWM on my internal card. After editing the COMMAND file to point to SDCARD instead of SDCARD2, it worked correctly. I used Notepad in Windows to edit the file while connected to my laptop.

Good luck!
[G Tablet General] ganthis:
Thanks for this forum, worked like a charm. FYI the command file does not have an extension (ie .txt).
[G Tablet General] daveconner98:
I'm sorry I still don't understand, I'm trying to install on the internal card, but just keeps restarting. I see the recovery folder with command file. It doesn't have anything about sdcard or sdcard2. What do I do with the file to correct?

Thank you for your help!!
[G Tablet General] flipovich:
When you download CWM, you extract the contents of the file. The contents are an update.zip file and a recovery folder with a command file in there (no extension on the command file at all). The command file will have only one of the two lines below, depending on where you are installing from:

--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip

--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip

SDCARD is the internal memory of the tablet, whereas SDCARD2 is the MicroSD card that you have in the SD Slot on the side of the tablet. The update.zip file and recovery folder with the command file inside of it should be placed on the root location of either your internal memory or your MicroSD card. I hope this helps. Good luck.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogos:
If your file was something like BCDS-20110104-1014 then you should rename it BCDS-20110104-1014namehere Important thing to do is to keep the original file name and whatever you add must have no spaces in it.

Or, as others have suggested, it could be low battery. You can move the log to your sdcard in recovery or run it from adb to get more info on the exact error.

Hi there,

This is a bit of a noob question.

When I go to system setting I see 3 memory storage.

1. Internal phone storage

2. Internal SD card

3. External SD card

My question is, by default, do apps get installed on internal phone storage?

Cos it's only around 2GB.

Also, when you move apps to SD card by going into setting-applications,

does it move to internal SD card or External SD card??

Many thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!

I'd like your opinion ...

Even if our dear developers make a amazing work, the truth is that our dear HD2 lag with NAND ROM of DésireHD and others with SENSE and others are not 100% fast & smouth...

So I wonder if it might be useful to create a swap partition on the SD card to improve the fluidity, or whether instead it will not make things worse because I know that this memory is much slower than RAM ...

What do you think?
