[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
the sd card frying was do to the i9000m kernel(i believe). design gears started compiling his own kernels after some dispute with setiron. and i believe a certain version of perception was a telus t959d fascinate rom with a kernel he built from i9000m bell vibrant sources instead of i9000 international source. days later the new was released that this was happening all over canada and he pulled the perception download. you are not the only one and all of the current roms and kernels are not built with that source. it is a shame because that was not a beta of any kind. that was an official update for the canadian version of the galaxy s. that said the att betas are deffinately safe. and the froyo roms for the i9000 i9000m (*not the kernel) t959 and t959d are all pretty safe. the biggest side effect is bad battery life and voice mail that may not work, or apn settings that you have to put in yourself. as long as you use a i9000 kernel with certain patches for orientation and button behavior and headphone jack logic you should have a fully functioning phone. hardcores speed mod kernel is great and gliterballs's kernel is good for a stable overclock with under volt, it also benchmarks better on some benchmarks in the market for equal clock settings.

i wont tell you not to flash froyo, that would be a shame to miss out on. what i will say is let all the flash addicts flash first, after a couple days read the thread and see what issues people are having.

also i think but i dont know but i think the full version of odin could repartition the sd card, i may be mistaken as to the nature of the sd card failure but i think some people were able to recover there phones.

now good luck with your new captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warnec:
Hi. I'm still a beginner, but I believe these 3-letter codes mean something like a region where the phone comes from. Why are they important? If I can easily flash darky's rom with no need to worry about region, why do I have to do that when trying to download Swype, for example?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10208534&postcount=14303

And how do I determine the region code (if that's what it is) of my phone?

Thanks in advance! If it has been said before, excuse me and please send a link to a post explaining that. I haven't found anything which would explain that thoroughly.

Firmware codes or build numbers jpa before jpy etc

Check yours via settings about phone Build .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warnec:
Ok, and what is this used for?

I mean, what would happen if I my phone had, say, JPO code, and I would install Swype for JPY phones? Would it not install? Or is it simply recommended to install software dedicated for one's region code?

Well, I've heard of reports of the G2 (which has the same processor) going up to 1.6ghz and maintaining stability.
[EVO 4G General] T3hPWN:
nice! 1.2+ ussually reboots the evos :-( it be nice to port the rom and kernel this thing uses but since it has a different processor dont think it would be much of a benefit.
[EVO 4G General] nosfanatic2006:
Seems too much like the Evo to warrant much excitement from me. I'll wait :-)
[EVO 4G General] kenvan19:
Its really more of a rebranded, changed-hinge, G2/desire z than an Evo. I would assume its called the Evo Shift in the hopes of riding the Evo-love wave that sprint has going on.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
if sprint would have just released a desire z with a wimax radio and a sprint logo this phone would have been more appealing.
[EVO 4G General] kenvan19:
I agree, I'm really not a fan of the blue-ish color nor the trackpad. It sort of just looks silly to me.
[EVO 4G General] firemedic1343:
I think Sprint may be exploring the idea of marketing their Android phones as Evo's. Similar to Verizon branding their phones as Droid.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamic3:
I had been running OMGB 6 for a few days perfectly when all of a sudden I had lost both gps and location services as well as experiencing some strange behavior in my browser. Some websites (most of which were mobile versions I believe) wouldn't allow zoom whatsoever (neither pinch nor doubletap), and the few that would wouldn't reformat the text to fit within the screen.

I reverted back to SkyRaider 3.5 (a 2.2 rom) and everything worked. I then decided to try the CM7 build (2.3) and I had the exact same issues. So it's not a problem with your rom (or kernel for that matter), rather it's with 2.3 roms in general for me.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My specs:

Screen - ATMEL224_16ab (AMOLED)

HBOOT - .92

Radio - 11.19

CWM - 2.5.1.2 (I vaguely remember flashing this new version after installing OMGB 6, could this possibly be the issue?)

S-off - Yes
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
I haven't used OMGB but in most AOSP ROMs there is a setting to enable "Reflow after pinch in." Make sure that that is turned on. Maybe that's the issue? I'm not sure.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theroberts:
I've got slideit on my nook, but can't seem to activate it. It tells me I need to activate it manually, but when I go to settings/keyboard, the screen flickers and takes me to the home screen. I've tried disabling almost all the running apps and rebooting, but the same thing still happens.

I've been able to find help on rooting, adding apps, etc, on this forum, so maybe someone could give me some advice.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] j.a:
Try moving the apk from data/app to system/app folder then you should be able to install and setup the keyboard.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theroberts:
That's where it is now. I followed the directions on another thread, but the problem seems to be not being able to get into settings/keyboard.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] duloz:
Are you using the NookColor Tools app for settings, or the stock settings?

I recommend NCT.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theroberts:
I had been trying with the stock. In NCT there's the option to choose keyboard but slideit isn't listed. I'll try downloading the apk and putting it in system/app again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ehrune:
I'm also having a problem with SlideIT. I've pushed it to the device, and when I bring up NCT it's in fact the only option to select. However, it never actually comes up. In other words, if I enter a text entry box the keyboard never pops up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Sunrisemix:
Try messing with the permissions once it is in the systems/app folder. I've neutral been giving them full user permission but that might not be needed. Also sometimes a reboot is needed.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] theroberts:
Got mine working! Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gidgiddoni:
Whats the magic process

so what did you do to get it to work?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dennisi01:
Lol throw us a bone here.. how do you get slideit working?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jve34:
How i got mine working.

I installed it using dropbox. I put my apk file in dropbox, then i install it. Then i go to my sd card using root explorer, there is a folder called dropbox which the apk gets copied to. I copy and paste the apk in \system\app and then it still didnt work, so i went to the file, mounted as r/w in root explorer, then you long hold on the file name, and it gives the options of "permissions" which you select and then i checked all the boxes. I rebooted after that, which at this point you can use nook tools to set the keyboard.

Now that i helped with all that, how in the hell do you use this thing? I saw videos of swipe, and it looked amazing, to me this thing is like a regular keyboard although i can draw lines through it, it just has no clue what i am trying to type. maybe i will search for a tutorial or something.

Update: found a userguide http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Product/SlideIT/Manual/Pdf/SlideIT_UserGuide[English].pdf
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Steelfan555:
Its funny, I did exactly that, and it still did not work...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Nooter:
This is easiest to understand when viewed.

As a simple test, place your forefinger on the letter T, and, without lifting it, slide diagonally over to E, then to S, and then back to T. Now lift your finger. If the word "test" did not appear, then your copy of SlideIT isn't finding its dictionary.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nikescar:
I followed these steps exactly and got to the point where I could see SlideIT as a selectable keyboard. I selected it and then tried to type in a field and a note and it doesn't pop-up. I rebooted after that just to make sure and still no good.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wvcachi:
Try installing it, so it'll be in data/app, then copy it into system/app - changing permissions, and also keeping the original apk in data/app. Then reboot, and you should be able to select it in NookColorTools.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nikescar:
That worked! Thanks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] abexman:
I can't find the apk after download. It does not exist in the data/app when I am viewing it in Astro file manager lite after performing an install via Appbrain or directly from the market. Is there an alternate way to get the apk? I purchased the app.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wvcachi:
If it's really installed, it's in there somewhere. Look for com.dasur.slideit.apk
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] abexman:
Still no luck. Isn't there a workaround? I imagine jve got the apk Somehow off his device since he loaded it on dropbox.

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] abexman:
Crap, so the developer overnight put the apk for a demo version online and I was able to get the apk into my app directory with root explorer. However I then went into the SlideIT application and changed input method. The app has a little text input box to do that. Unfortunately after doing this the app wanted a registration code, but the SlideIT not being activated I cannot enter it. So I thought to just enable trial mode but when the app tries to connect to the server it errors out. And I can't get back to the input selection box! help!

Tried to un install using astro but SlideIT doesn't show in list of apps. Only shows in app brain but un install failed. If only I could clear SlideITs cache!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ehrune:
The Market told me that there was an update available for SlideIT. I installed the update, and now it's working for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] abexman:
I now see that the apk shows up in root explorer, I had been looking for it with astro, doh! not sure if that will help me. Can I just delete the apk?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalicecream:
I used supermanager to move the com.dasur.slideit.apk file to the system app folder. then I had to reboot to select the keyboard in NCT. Once I did that, it works like a charm.

Thanks for all the groundwork!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] abexman:
Update: can get it installed but now having lots of issues activating.

Registration servers don't seem to be working or is confused by me having two codes for two devices. Little support from dasur. Can't even get trial period going. Works fine on DInc.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pavlos46:
I think I figured it out.

don't copy the app to system apps if you already have delete it.

Also if you have it in data/app also delete it. If it appears in market as installed unistall it.

Now install the app normally from market, and activate your gingerbread keyboard from nooktools.

Open your web browser and click the address bar to bring up the gingerbread keyboard select settings input method and SlideIT.

Should work fine also survives reboots.

This worked for me ...... hope this helps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pavlos46:
This also solves the activation issue.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] eyecrispy:
Doesn't work for me. Still have activation issues with the trial version.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pavlos46:
sorry no I was talking about the purchased version.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] abexman:
Attempted this but the Gingerbread keyboard never appears after I activate it. So I can't access its settings.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wpnyc2009:
Used SlideIT keyboard for a bit...

wasn't that great. It feels a little like the old saying "be careful what you wish for; you just might get it."

My 2 cents.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Yeah, the autocorrect can be quite annoying. Like when searching for a new app in the market and of course the app name isn't in the dictionary so the results have nothing to do with what you meant to search for and then you realize that the stupid keyboard is screwing with your head and you get so angry that you end up smashing your NC on the ground. Those $250 charges are starting to add up on my Visa.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tgallant21:
This worked for me, copy SlideIT to the system app folder but also leave it in the data app folder as well so that way it still shows up in the market, fix permissions and it should work. I did all this with root explorer by the way.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sorlan:
Hey, I found that SlideIT replace the .apk file on there website to support nook and all other tablets :)
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
Just wondering if there is a way to keep some of the factory installed apps from opening all the time? Everytime I close them, they open back up in another 5 minutes, or less. Can I just delete or uninstall some of them that came on the phone? Phone is rooted, just not sure how to do it. Thanks.

Hi,

Hopefully this is not a dump question, but could someone tell if it's possible to get my TD2 calendar to sync with Google Calendar? I get there by browser, but it would be nice to get the events in my Google Calendar to be shown in right in my TD2 calendar (the one shown in my today screen).

If so, is there a simple instructions for it, so that a beginner like me could get it right.

ThanX a Lot!

I got the calendar sync'ed when I leave the other stuff (tasks, contacts...) unchecked. It seems that my TD2 gets only the first of my calendar categories from Google Calendar, as I have several of them. But thats better than nothing.

[Galaxy Tab General] pgamble:
Interesting ... Got my entertainment bundle without issues on PC World purchased Tab (on day of release). Got games ok ... applied movie voucher ... ordered my 16 movies ... nightmare getting onto tab (site really flaky and DRM on various films failed) and awful download experience ... 12 out of 16 failed to complete the download on more than one occasion.

When I called Samsung Apps CS .. they committed to resolving above issues and also trying to get me PC DVD copy which was promised when voucher applied. They said they had not decided whether they should be giving two copies of each film with this promotion but I explained for those that have already been told at time of voucher application, they really have no choice. Let's see what happens. Curious to know what other people's experience has been like.

Anyway ... the real puzzle was ... I asked about 2.3 and 2.4 updates.

They know nothing about the latter, but I was told 2.3 was already out in the US (Grrr) and although there was no date I could be given, we should expect it soon in the UK.

Anyone from US played with it yet ?

Paul.
[Galaxy Tab General] jorgepsantos:
So far no update to 2.3 in the US that I know of.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
When I redeemed my voucher, all the movies I've bought so far have given me two links - one for the PC and one for mobile.

As to 2.3 for the Tab - as far as I'm aware it's not available anywhere, so I think you've been misinformed.

Regards,

Dave

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doc1964:
This has happened to me now several times and it is annoying the hell out of me. I take a batch of pictures and then go to gallery to view them. On several occasions now the pics have not been there or some of them are there but not all of them. If i then go to my files, then DCIM there are two folders shown. One called camera that holds every pic i have taken wih my phone and another called thumbnails that also holds every picture but for some of them it holds up to 9 copies of it, all with different long no's associated with it. Then later or after a reboot if i go back to gallery all of the pictures are now available to be seen. One minute i love this phone and think it is amazing, the next it just bugs me. Another thing i hope someone can throw some light on. When i take a picture and then choose to share it via message, it seems to send as a 5 second video with play and pause buttons on screen rather than just as a picture. Have i messed up some setting on my phone. Any help appreciated.

Oh final thing, you can tell it has annoyed me today, i find the picture quality indoors to be worse than useless, even setting it to night settings makes no big improvements. Took some party pics and to say that everyone was underwhelmed when i showed them was an understatement, i was embarassed and scrabbling about saying i dont think i had it set right. A phone that cost me £380 and every one of my previous phones, costing a lot less blows it out of the water for pictures indoors.

p.s. yes i have a digital camera that i use as well but loved my previous Nokia N86 for being able to take pics any time i was out if need be.

Oh and by the way, happy new year, i am genuinely sorry for the rant, but would appreciate any help offered.

Cheers.

pps. i do feel better after that, must be therapeutic.

hmmm as for the first problem, im not pretty sure what causes that to happen

might include what firmware/rom ur running to help find the cause...

as for the second problem, id suggest moving from the phones camera app and download vignette from the market. why u may ask, software wise it might not be as user friendly as the bundled cam app but the results are much better, dont take my word but test it out and tell me how much better ur pics turn out to be.

in general yes the cam/software/processing is not better than those old phones (hell my old c905 SE outperforms the SGS's cam wether with flash or without)

Question: Does anyone know if it's ok to boot on Clockwork and wipe the batter stats? I flashed my phone last night to midNIGHT 2.5 w/ext4 with low battery charge and this morning within 2 hours of unpluging it from a full charge I was down to 18% and pretty much all I did was listen to music for about 30 minutes total time. Any thoughts? I'm not running a bunch of apps or widgets and Im using ADW launcher Ex
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
You should have a full battery before you wipe battery stats.

Try this:

Charge with the phone on until 100%

Turn the phone off, unplug it, plug it back in and charge again until it is done.

Turn the phone back on, unplug it, plug it back in, and make see if it is at 100%

Then wipe battery stats.

Or if you have an external battery charger, just charge and bump charge a time or two, then wipe battery stats.
