[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
come to think about it, I'm not sure where I got that from, but even if it's not possible, booting WP7, Android, and WM6.5 from MAGLDR will be possible, we'll just have to figure out the right configuration, having 1GB ROM helps a lot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OGmackPLRcool:
Well seeing as I dont live in Europe Im not sure how I was supposed to know there is a difference.

Thanks for the info. I thought thats what forums were for. Seriously >< :confused:

As for battery life I will get a full day easily with normal use. If I was conservative probably 2 days.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thephoneguyusa:
Sell the Vibrant and HD2 it up!!

I have had Android 2.2.1 with gingerbread bits on my HD2 since 12-31-10 when that $hit launched and I must say it is quick and stable as hell!! I have only had one issue with my data connection but I created a new apn and have had zero problems with it! I was using a Mytouch slide and I will use this HD2 until it is ran into the ground and then go get another one and do it all over again! The HD2 is the best phone in my opinion because of all the shista you can do with it! Get that 6.5 wm crap off of it and you are set!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
The Vibrant sucks. Honestly. My cousin has one and he always asks me when the hell he's gonna get Froyo when I'm running Gingerbread... he asks why his GPS barely works, he asks why his phone is so cheaply made... I mean Samsung honestly sucks. There is no comparison between the HD2 and Vibrant. I say trade.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
There are fixes for gps and there are plenty of froyo roms for it... probably gingerbread, too. When properly modified, any of the galaxy s series phones can run Android faster than the hd2 can. Has your cousin rooted and tried any custom roms on his vibrant. It's not a fair comparing a phone running a stock Rom to a phone running a tweaked, modified Rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] friend'scatdied:
I agree.

But I also agree here. Samsung phones are chintzy plastic and have little-to-no after-sales support from the firm. The product life cycle for Samsung phones is abysmal, even in this industry.

Also, the GPS chip in the GalaxyS phones are actually genuinely poor implementations (some might even call it intrinsically faulty).

Seriously this phone gonna stick for an year more....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cashyftw:
Ugh I don't know what to do! I want an hd2, but I can only trade for one... BROKE
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
No. I've tried to convince him to do it but he doesn't want to void his warranty. I don't blame him though, that GPS seems to be failing entirely.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
There are ways to go back to stock. It's just like with the hd2, all these phones aren't great when they're stock... but you unlock, root, tweak them, etc and unlock their true potential... and the devs that developed for these devices usually have a way to undo what you have done. Just read through the forums here at xda and everything can be learned. But its not fair to say a phone sucks because a version still running stock is compared to a phone that has a years worth of tweaking and development done to it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] astianax:
Hi everybody ,

I seek a developer for an Win Mobile app. I have the API of the app which is already on android and i'd like to know if you can do this app for me.

This app is for a French web site : Footito the concept is : A false Facebook with French football team and some other English Italian German and Spanish team and with the national team.

I propose that to you because the developers don't do the WM app, they think it's not important so they open the API for the WM dev.

BYE ASTY.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] astianax:
Sorry to up this post which is a little desert but I really need a reply to have the possibility of having the API.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Corwin9S:
well... for just "reading" the news and infos, you already can use a simple RSS reader !

Sure we can do that but with the RSS we can't see the comment and in the futur, the version 2 will support the add of comment and other thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twarwizard:
I installed OCLF on my phone (Froyo JPO) and tried to remove it in order to upgrade to 2.2, I think it didnt remove the lagfix right though, as the option to apply the lag fix, and the one to remove the lag fix is no longer available. (I cant remember if it specifically said it failed or not.)

I saw somewhere on this site that you first have to install some other rom, or to just select something else in ODIN if updating with lag fix still enabled. Also, should I uninstall all apps with root access before unrooting? And can I backup apps with titanium backup in order to restore it if I have to completely wipe my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ser_Bean:
use quadrant to check your score.. if its more then 1000 the lagfix is still enable.. my advice is to flash only if you are sure that it is disable...

if i am not wrong, OCLF can say the reason why a function is not avaible, maybe your battery is less then 40%

for flashing it is not neccesary to unroot..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twarwizard:
Youre right, it does give the reason. When I try to remove it it says that I dont have the lagfix installed, and if I try to add the lag fix, it says that I already have another lag fix enabled, which I dont. Obviously something went wrong somewhere.

Should I just try to flash 2.2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twarwizard:
the exact error messages are as follows

when i try to remove lagfix: "You do not app0ear to have a V2 lagfix installed! (free space on /data does not match /dbdata/ext2data)"

When I try to add the fix: "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5 kb)"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ser_Bean:
So you still dont know of the lagfix is enable??.. check your quadrant score.. if this is below 1000, this will mean that the fix is disable, so you can start flashing..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twarwizard:
I just assumed it wasn't applied anymore and installed update and it worked. Lucky me I guess haha, thanks for help :)
[General Questions and Answers] jprobranded:
i flashed my evo using the latest unrevoked and clockword mod for the evo. ive tried flashing three different roms and i always get installation aborted right after it says installation initalizing. i made sure the i copied the zips to the sd card root. and re done the proccess multipule time with each rom and keep getting the same out come. does anyone no what the issue could be and how to fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Maybe you should try formatting the sdcard and wipe everything when you go to flash a rom. Make sure the rom is compatible.
[General Questions and Answers] jprobranded:
i dont think that formating is the issue. cause ive loaded other zip files thru clock work off this sd card. it just wont load roms and boot images. when u say make sure its compatible are u talking about clock work. cause all these romes are meant for the evo.
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Maybe your rom files are corrupted so you cant flash them, try re-Dl'ing the roms again.
[General Questions and Answers] jprobranded:
okay i did that and i get abort error 6 what does that error code mean

...someone who needs notification leds that do not time out?

Hi guys, and happy new year to everyone!!!

I am trying to setup a friend's wildfire, and i need to flash a new rom.

My friends biggest issue with the stock rom is that the missed call / new sms notification leds timeout after 5 minutes. This is not good for him because he needs the leds to stay on until he interacts with his phone.

Is there a rom out there that supports something like that?

I already tried "ledmeknow" and "missed call" but the leds still timeout after 5 mins, despite the fact that i have disabled the stock notifications...

Can somebody recommend a ROM?

Thanks very much

aalex
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
No ROM supports this AFAIK. I still think you are doing something wrong, because, just yesterday mornng, I woke up to find my Wildfire's LED on, and, a notification saying I received an SMS 2 hours back.
[Wildfire General] aalexandrou:
Hey 3xeno,

Nice to see you again... I probably am doing something wrong LOL...

I am still waiting for a response from the developer of ledmeknow, but i thought i might see if anybody has had more luck with another rom, before i start a long trial and error process and flash all available roms - i am on holiday and have a bit of time on my hands lol...
[Wildfire General] Drdroidlove:
Try all the roms available. The notififcation LEDs work fine in all cases for me.
[Wildfire General] aalexandrou:
Hi guys,

I flashed the Wildpuzzle rom and ledmeknow works perfectly now!!

Thanks for the help guys!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdviper:
Is it possible to write something so I can have it "rm /data/system/batterystat.bin" everytime I start up my phone? I know I could do it via recovery with the clockwork but it gets annoying. Just have it remove that file during the boot animation and create a new clean fresh one? Also a shortcut I could place on the desktop and whenever I run it, it'll delete it.

Thanks. The reason I need this is because whenever its charging it gets stuck on 87% or whatever percent and the battery charges but android doesn't update the stats.

I'm on a mytouch4g rooted running on iced glacier rom. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] existz:
On my captivate I can create a startup script and place it in /system/etc/init.d/.....

#!/system/bin/sh

#su

#rm /data/system/batterystat.bin

That would delete it everytime you boot, as for an icon you could download GScript and then create a new script, just put in the above, then long press on your home screen and create a new shortcut with that script....now I tested on my captivate and all of the above works so hopefully it works for you ..

Sent from my Captivate
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdviper:
Thanks. I set up the script and put a shortcut on the desktop. Thanks.

And also after its deleted, does the phone create a new one? Cause when I hit the shortcut again it says there is no such file.

If I have to restart, can I do just a soft reboot instead and just restart android it self?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] existz:
Yea it should create a new one, not sure how long it takes for it to create it, but it should do it on its own...just to be safe I would do a full reboot cause im not sure when it creates the batterystat.bin file during or after boot

EDIT

if you wanted to you could add this line in your gscript so it reboots when your run the shortcut...

#su

#rm /data/system/batterystat.bin

#reboot

Sent from my Captivate
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdviper:
Alright it looks like it takes about 30mins atleast in my case, to create a new batterystats file.

Thanks dude, is there a way to have the phone refresh itself, I mean like it gets stuck while charging, after I remove the file and reboot the correct battery is displayed. And sometimes if I do restart after removing the file, I come back with more battery than I had before I restarted. I calibrated yue battery numerous times and its still acting up.

You can get any 12V, 2A adapter with 1.7 mm input jack. If you are in the US/Canada - search radioshack for enercell

If you do a search on MPA-630 12V 2A you will find quite a few replacement options as this is the same adapter used for the Kodak Digital Picture frames. I ordered one from a China based reseller to arrive mid Jan for under $20. Several are available from US shippers for a few dollars more.

Hello,

I found green tint at photos, now it's much easier to find it when I have grey sky and snow.

I'm preatty sure you will find it yourself:

img89.imageshack.us/img89/8472/motoroladefysamplephoto.jpg

The strongest effect is in top right corner, but it affects other corners as well.

Also in center there is some big diffused purple spot.

To analize this issue I took few photos of A4 white sheet in daylight:

img695.imageshack.us/img695/72/motoroladefyresizedonly.jpg

To the same photo I added levels in Photoshop to better show the problem:

img844.imageshack.us/img844/7041/motoroladefywithlevels.jpg

I also compared it with Nokia 5800, my previous mobile with quite mid quality camera:

img831.imageshack.us/img831/7076/nokia5800resizedonly.jpg

You can see photo is all purplelike, but homogenic so it suggest that white balance didn't recognize correctly

white color. There is also green frame around picture, still smaller than in Defy.

The same picture with levels:

img510.imageshack.us/img510/1985/nokia5800withlevels.jpg

Seems to me pictures from Nokia 5800 are better than from Defy. Furthermore I had to modify exposure and chage level from 0 to 2

because picures straight from camera were too dark:

img513.imageshack.us/img513/8472/motoroladefysamplephoto.jpg

I'm not sure if this is "feature" of my particular phone or it affects all Defy phones and we have to live with it.

Could you do just simple test and take photo A4 sheet in daylight and share with effects here? Sheet should cover viewfinder fully.

Thank you in advance.....Rafal

I've just kind of gotten into theming a lil bit and I was hoping to find more information. I've checked out the "Ultimate Theming Guide" and many other links and I've got a fairly good idea until you get into the xml (I'm reading up on this now) I was wondering if some of you could save me some google time and post links etc. to useful information. I've already got something to extract, repack and sign apks. I'm mostly looking for the actually theming itself, identifying the portions of the ui to tweak, particular xmls to edit etc. I'm still relatively new to this but if any of you ever played WoW there used to be an addon that would identify the frame/scripts responsible for whatever item you moused over.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
If I werent on my phone I would point you at the link... Search xda for apkmanager. This will allow you to decompile and recompile apk's easily after modifying xml filea. It utilizes apktool (smali and baksmali) to format the xml files to a usable format in a text editor such as notepad or notepad++

One catch with apkmanager is that it doesnt interpret 9.png files correctly. You will need to read tge log to see which of those files catch it up. Then cut these and just dip them back into the finished apk using 7zip. When I get back to my desktop I can look up links and try to post the steps I take.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jvegastn:
Apkmanager is very helpful, I'm looking for more info on what images correspond to what. Quick easy xml alteration with being a code guru. Hope that makes sense.

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype

Hello Everybody,

this is my first post on this forum, i decided to start this thread cause i've been struggling with this problem for something like one month now, i really want to fix it, and this looks like the best place where to ask for help.

I'm having problems installing the Skype application on a Samsung Galaxy S, in Italy.

Initially i installed it from the market, the installation went fine, but i couldn't log in cause i was still running Android 2.1

After the upgrade to 2.2, Skype worked only the first time i tried to use it, then it started giving me a weird bug; basically each time i tried to make a call, it would say "already 2 ongoing calls".

I uninstalled it, and now each time i try to install it again i get the same error message "Installation error - insufficient storage available".

I have 5.22GB available on the internal SD card, and 573MB on the internal phone storage, and i have no external SD card.

I tried to contact the Skype support, sent them something like 10 different emails, but each time they came up with stupid answers and in the end they couldn't find a solution, so they said

"Please note that the message you are receiving is an operating system message and is not a Skype message.

We suggest that you contact Samsung to find out under which circumstances the operating system returns this message and what can be done to make an installation possible."

I tried to contact Samsung, but they didn't even reply.

I started a thread in the Android Market Help Forum and one guy suggested to use adb to delete the skype folder

So i rooted my device with z4root and also did the OneClickLagFix V2.2+

I managed to install the Android SDK and get the adb up and running, but when i try to delete the skype folder, this is what i get

# rm -R /data/com.skype.raider

rm -R /data/com.skype.raider

rm failed for /data/com.skype.raider, No such file or directory

#

basically there is no such folder..

at this point i really don't know what to do, and i hope that someone here is able and willing to help me.

I think i gave all the possibly needed information to help you fixing my problem, but if you need more please just ask.

Thanks a lot and by the way big up to this forum, so many useful informations in here!

Cheers

Pedro

update

i installed Titanium Backup

if i go to the Backup/Restore tab and scroll to the very botton, the last one is com.skype.raider, but it has a line on it and i'm not sure what that means (see attached image)

if i click it, all the options are grayed out, so i can't uninstall it..

if i click and hold, a different menu comes up, where most of the options are grayed out as well, i can only do Assign Labels, Explore and View in Market.

If i click Explore, it says:

com.skype.raider

files/

shared.lck 0B

defetto/

main.db-journal 8.0KB

any idea what's going on? thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defetto:
Never mind, i made it!

I bought an application from the market called Root Explorer, i couldnt find a free one doing the same, basically giving full access to my folder structure.

Anyway, i was able to find the com.skype.raider folder and delete it..

after that, next install went fine!

the correct path was /data/data/com.skype.raider

so if you have the same problem, you can use abd and delete the folder and you don't need to buy the above mentioned app..

p.s. how do i set this thread as answered?

I'm running Cog 3b6 on my Samsung Captivate and appear to have a problem while trying to sync music files on Windows Media Player.

I have USB settings at "ask" -- when I plug in, I select Mass Storage, which opens the Cognition 'USB Connected' screen.

I click the 'Connect USB storage' button and the connection is completed. The autoplay window on my desktop opens for both the phone SD card and the removable SD card.

The desktop recognizes both SD cards, however, Media Player does not recognize the phone.

Two things that I notice on the phone - there's no option to mount the phone, and every time I click on the 'Connect USB storage' button it force closes my email app. Not sure if that has anything to do with Media Player not seeing the phone.
