It happens to me also but in Facebook only. No problem with Handcent. Not sure about Chomp coz i never use it. I thought it's just a bug in Facebook app
[Milestone XT720 General] mrmako777:
i dont really use the facebook app, but ive noticed the same behavior with handcent
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
update: dialer seems to crash with the setting below, so for now the phone isn't really functional...

Hi!

I just noticed "LCD density changer". This app allows you to change the density of the screen, making, for example, all widgets smaller.

The app from the market didn't work for me. But, I followed the guide at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760805

changed /system/build.prop, so that instead of

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

I have

ro.sf.lcd_density=90

in my case I didn't have to remount /system as read-write. But if you do, then just do

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock7 /system

After reboot, everything is smaller on the screen!

(installing the apk directly from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765639 worked for me, also)

The smaller icons are great! I can actually use ACast, and have the sound control buttons on screen while seeing my tracks!

I'm not sure whether 90 is the best value to use... maybe I'll play with other resolutions. The best would be if the app worked...

Test and enjoy!
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
Sadly, I still can't find a way to fix the dialer issue. Possibly, the problem lies with the "BlurPhone.apk" in /system/app

Maybe I'll try to edit the apk, as was done here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863519

Can anyone who has the non-blur rom installed check if for them the dialer also crashes?

The easiest method is to use the apk from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765639

It works for me.
[Flipout and Charm General] eldinosaure:
i have a flipout.

the dialer crash too.
[Flipout and Charm General] plageran:
same here, take a look at your build.prop

if it says "ro.mot.sw.deblur=true" then yes otherwise you've likely have the "blur" active.

ps my phone is on 100 and some apps don't fill the screen completely....

Reference http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm

Saw under the Asia Firmware 'P1000DXJM4 ## ODIN 1.7 | P1.PIT | Version 2.2 | 2010 December' is available and to be cautious, i seek seniors' opinion before i go ahead and flash mine ^^

Any recommendation on how to proceed is appreciated, esp with ODIN (dont know what it is even read so much about this word)! :confused:

I already backup with TB :D

edit: Connect to Kies and says 'This device's version cannot be updated.' Stating PDA: JK2 / Phone: JJ2 / CSC: JJ2. now even more confused :confused:

edit update after flashed JME instead of JM4 (long story short):

"i will write down the event by event of recovery as reference:

1. flash the JVJL1 (no problem on reboot) by mistake then flash JM4 (missing dbdata.rfs) tar file downloaded from samfirmware.com and failed to reboot due to the missing file.

2. did some silly step and resulted in (phone .. ! .. pc) icon

3. run odin 1.7 and plug the usb and odin show is connected with tab

4. flash JM4 (yes with missing dbdata.rfs) and able to bring the tab back to download mode but unable to reboot into tab

5. flash Roto's dbdata.rfs file (http://xdaforums.com/show...91&postcount=1) and able to reboot right after but missing pda & csc info (*#1234#)

6. tried the hard reset (http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=106) but no help

7. download Roto's pre-rooted JME 3 files as mentioned (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827) and finally boot the tab with full *#1234# details.

* So if you see the (phone .. ! .. pc) icon dont panic. like KChauJen said, able to solve with enough reading. i listed my route to recovery as reference to give you positive hope to retry.

TB's backup in Internal SD and before flashing JME, i copied the TB folder to my hdd during the missing pda & csc boot and did a backup on JME reboot, copy paste back to TB folder under internal sd and the restore work flawlessly."
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fastcx:
cant be updated? er, i was from jk2 to jm4. did you applied oclf? if you did, try undo it b4 anything.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
Hi fastcx, thanks for replying and sharing your experience. I did some further reading in some singapore forum saying have to run the kies patch (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835628) and spoof firmware version in order to update. i have yet to try due to somewhere in the same forum also said that once updated:

1. cant go back version

2. z4root wont work (which i am already using)

may i know have you rooted your SGT? need more solid info before taking the route to update the firmware as already using SGT as my primary device. I havent OCLF yet :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fastcx:
rooted, since day 1, after every update (jj1>jj2>jk2) able to root with z4root till jm4 which requires SOC(SuperOneClick). To use kies, switch back to samsung default launcher b4 u connect using kies. I do not have any issue there. Another note is that after root, i always go back to /system/app to check n remove any apps that I do not need using adb shell.

The interface changed, to darker color, dlna client really working now, oclf performance improvement might not be obvious this time around. I suspect they really optimized it, everything is more stable now. Over protective I would say, cause any previous flashlight apps isnt going to sustain the led light for over 2sec. Default browser is a wee bit smoother now.

SuperOneClick is very easy to use anyway, so give it a try, oclf is useful only when u have over 400mb apps + loads of sms & contacts..anything related to I/O will have improvement.

The worse case scenario is just if kies still do not allow u to update, just use odin..what did you do previously? How do you update previously?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KChauJen:
Yeah... I'm in your case.

Thinking does it would be updated or not???

Just look at inside of tar file, and according to the Chainfire's Warning, the three files:

* boot.bin

* Sbl.bin

* zImage > 7,000K

So, this firmware would be has the protected boot loader. It would give us a lot of trouble in the future of updating and downgrading.

I think, this firmware can be updated with the help from Roto, eliminate the three files above and just take the PDA part.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
I was using CSC: XEV (Vietnam) then to SIN (Singtel) and feel good and when Nov'10 update came, updated via Kies wihtout any trouble. When Dec'10 update came, tried with SIN resulted unable to update, switch back to XEV also resulted unable to update. I havent try XSO which the singapore forum stated successful for those with that CSC.

So i have to try to switch to XSO and report in later. be it protected boot loader or not, as long as we want stable and more 'juice' to service our daily SGT needs, no choice but to follow. I do believe as days goes, seniors like Roto alike will crack the nut for us to appreciate further.

on other note, my default email (not gmail) app seem got problem whenever you click reply or forward any email will result in force close. do not know if this bug related to after i switch from SIN to XEV (to try update) then switch back to SIN and follow up by restore using TB.

anyone has similar force close on the default email app?

backing up with TB now :) should we (those yet to update jm4) wait for Roto to do his magic for this update?

edit: tried with XSO and also unable to update... that really puzzle me.

edit 2: unroot with z4root and try still unable to update... now looking at ODIN route :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fastcx:
perhaps odin route is the best solution for your case, but from jk2 > jm4 not sure if pit file is needed? repartitioning needs it tho, perhaps its good that u do back up of everything, let us know ur flashing result. Odin will definitely able to do the job
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
oh no... T_T somehow i downloaded P1000JVJL1 (Arabic) by mistake and Odin 1.7 with Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time, selecting the mistaken Arabic firmware (PDA) and flash it without any problem (JVJL1 / JXJK3 / JVJK4) and able to reboot itself.

After notice the wrong firmware, downloaded the right one (P1000DXJM4) from samfirmware.com and using Odin 1.7. Repeating the above steps but the phone briefly flash and came back the 'download mode' and nothing happened although Odin stated passed without any error.

I able to hold the power to shutoff and turn on again and the screen shows the samsung logo screen and stay flashing the word 'samsung' with 1 then 2 quick vibrate (like force close) and didnt boot into the main screen!

what should i do next?? is it bricked?? T_T

edit: the downloaded filename is 'P1000DXJM4_P1000DXJM2_P1000OLBJM1_HOME.tar' and anyone know if correct one?

edit 2: now i am downloading DXJK2 and see if i am able to revert the flash of JM4 T_T

edit 3: is over T_T saw the (phone .. ! .. pc icon)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dahuzi:
This is due to dbdata.rfs missing. Please refer to the guide of flashing JMC/D/E series.

BTW, I have a problem is Camera Faulty error when start the camera app. Somebody mentioned that the LCD density can't set too small, but I have reverted it back to default 240, the problem still there. Any clue about it?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
thanks dahuzi, i wonder if i choose to flash eu rom by Roto, would his rooted bring my tab back to operation? appreciate any help to bring back my tab.

i am able to bring my (phone .. ! .. pc icon) to the download mode. flashing anything before JM4 wont work anymore (fail at odin 1.7 and 1.3) and i am able to go back to hard reset option (holding vol up and power up). now i need to get the TB backup from the int SD before i try anything new. possible to retrieve in download mode?

edit: where to find the dbdata.rfs for this JM4? can anyother dbdata.rfs from other firmware able to fill it in? help ~ T_T
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KChauJen:
Hi VNPython,

Your case is complecated one, take it easy and read the thread from Chainfire "WARNING! Do not flash ... ", in there, a lot people has solved with different path.

Be patient, Bro. At that moment, your TAB is not Brick yet, but be careful because it's on the way of the End.

Wish you luck.

Take care.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
ha.. i hope to win this war ^^ and learning the way of android!!

edit: just a quick question - does TB backup all user and app data in internal SD or External SD? i got bunch of files in my ext SD folder '.android_secure' and inside have files like 'com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.asec' can any senior confirm is a valid TB backup files and can be used to restore my user & app data? many thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KChauJen:
TB (TitaniumBackup) file in the internal SD (in my case is the default), please double check.

Please give us your detail of winning as I'm scare of Samsung flash. My history is, 4 years ago, I bricked my Omnia phone Samsung after I flashed the rom from SIN to AUS. And, this's my second device on Samsung but this is Android and I want to learn the new OS.

Take care, Bro.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
hey guess what? i managed to get a file for dbdata.rfs from Roto and got the tab back live but missing PDA and CSC field (checking with *#1234#). tried the reset to get the pda and csc back but failed.

learned quite a few things along the way and will update this thread after completing my mission to update my tab to JM4.

windows seem cant extract and tar file for android tar files. i tried to extract jm4 files and add dbdata.rfs into it but when flashing, it fail.

worst come to worst, flash the JVJL1 to get the working tab again :)

i hope Mr. Roto could let me know what software to install on windows that able to 'untar' and 'tar' properly with android (linux) files. tried 7z and winrar both cant untar without error.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fastcx:
try using winrar to do the add on of dbdata.rfs, anyway, good luck :) next time, double check what you downloading
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KChauJen:
Wow... another Maitre!!! What's your winrar??? :p

Look and read:

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
sorry for the late update as yesterday too late to post anything after able to get my tab back to life! the learning curve is nice and not stressing since many time i see the icon of (phone .. ! .. pc) yet i am able to bring the download (digging) icon back again always.

i will write down the event by event of recovery as reference:

1. flash the JVJL1 (no problem on reboot) by mistake then flash JM4 (missing dbdata.rfs) tar file downloaded from samfirmware.com and failed to reboot due to the missing file.

2. did some silly step and resulted in (phone .. ! .. pc) icon

3. run odin 1.7 and plug the usb and odin show is connected with tab

4. flash JM4 (yes with missing dbdata.rfs) and able to bring the tab back to download mode but unable to reboot into tab

5. flash Roto's dbdata.rfs file (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9305891&postcount=1) and able to reboot right after but missing pda & csc info (*#1234#)

6. tried the hard reset (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9482192&postcount=106) but no help

7. download Roto's pre-rooted JME 3 files as mentioned (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827) and finally boot the tab with full *#1234# details.

* So if you see the (phone .. ! .. pc) icon dont panic. like KChauJen said, able to solve with enough reading. i listed my route to recovery as reference to give you positive hope to retry.

TB's backup in Internal SD and before flashing JME, i copied the TB folder to my hdd during the missing pda & csc boot and did a backup on JME reboot, copy paste back to TB folder under internal sd and the restore work flawlessly.

after 1 days usage, the trouble found is email app still being force close whenever you reply or forward any email. any senior have similar force close on original email app?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fastcx:
My bad. How polite of you.

Back to topic, VNPython everything there is a first time :cool: it's good info here. Perhaps you can edit your 1st post with info from your last post?

EDIT: 1 thing though, do you have any issue regarding using samsung apps?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
samsung app can use, checked my CSC and its KOR. Apps: Vlingo words to action, Vietnamese Dictionary application & blinkx Beat. didnt try any of them. just *#272*IMEI# and there's no SIN or XEV or XSO or Asian Sales Code in the Roto JME (EU) multiCSC. maybe will try to download multicsc with asian sale code.

* on the email app force close, i delete the email account and re-setup them, and the force close is gone. could be due to TB's restore? anyway, is solved ^^

I wonder will i be able to flash DXJM4 if there is a full tar file?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KChauJen:
Please consider it carefully, Bro.

What I looked inside of the tar file, and according to Chainfire's Warning, it has the protected boot.

If we can eleminate the three files:

* Boot.bin

* Spl.bin

* zImage

and put back to the tar file with the encrypted code by Samsung (maybe we can ask Roto) then we can flash this modified firmware JM4.

FYI.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
i agree with you on the protected stuff. so far Roto's JME is the only option without worry hence i considering to flash the asian multicsc i downloaded. worst case - re-flash Roto's JME again :D

kind of becoming more daring after yesterday's learning experience. i will slow re-read chainfire's thread and understand the program use to find out signed or not. yesterday too rush and anxious to recover tab hence skip most part.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] HCgoh:
Hi, Sorry still quite new to this. I am from Singapore as well, after flashing with JM4 on my Galaxy Tab.... There is no 3G (data Sevices) running.... everything is fine... But a Tab without Data... =(

Please Help.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
Hi Goh, where did you download the JM4 rom from? samfirmware.com? as you know from my experience the rom from samfirmware has missing dbdata.rfs and kindly let us know how you overcome and have jm4 ^^

nice work!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jacopo3001:
I am at step 5, what's next?

Hi VNPython, I found your post when i was starting to get desperate, and it was of great help. I had similar path (including the Phone-!-PC icon), just I am flashing DXJK2 instead.

I am not at your point 5: I manage to boot using Roto's dbdata.rfs but I am missing pda & csc info (*#1234#).

I am lost about your following steps thou:

Are you suggesting to flash ANOTHER rom and not the original one you had?

I wanted an asian install as I need chinese, will JME support it?

what are the problems of staying with a empty pda & csc info?

I am very new to this (actually if chinese gov+samsung havent blocked app market I would have stayed happy without this..), so I might be missing some basic concepts, thank you for your patience!

cheers

jacopo
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] VNPython:
hi jaco,

to answer your 3 points:

a. the original DXJM4 i had from samfirmware missing the dbdata.rfs and i dont know know if this jm4 fixed at this time (havent check yet) so i flash Roto's JME as written and now still on JME until android 2.2.1 or 2.3 or 3 is available for tab

b. yes. i am using 'TouchPal Input' app from the market and support chinese hanyu pinyin input for chinese text. the best so far after many other keyboard app

c. no idea, didnt wanna stay on to find out hence i flashed JME :)

update us if you have any further flash on JM4. so far JME is fine and with EU multi-CSC, able to get 16 apps from samsung app, including NFS-Shift.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirowla:
Hi,

Being a recent convert from Windows Mobile, I'm noticing how the alarms and notifications of applications seems separate from each other rather than integrated. Has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me? Also, what is the technical difference between an alarm and a notification? Everything seems to be a notification rather than an alarm.

Is there any suggested techniques/configuration to ensure all of my apps use the same notifications/volumes etc without me having to go to every single app and configure it? Also is there a way to configure how the vibration works system-wide? Every single app seems to have their own settings and its a bit of a pain. I also prefer a "longer" vibration in case I miss something (the phone is usually in my pocket).

Also does anybody have recommendations regarding applications which can repeat or remind me for missed events? I want a repeat reminder that I have an appointment coming up, or have missed an SMS or a call (but haven't noticed it) or have received an e-mail? I just want something like to remind me every 5 minutes by playing the sound and/or vibrating, for about an hour - mainly just in case I haven't noticed it - but I don't want it going on forever in case I don't have the phone with me and it annoys others!

Thanks,

Ian
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biyitch:
I've just downloaded Missed Reminder which does all that I think. Although it's not for calendar reminders, which is annoying.

Hopefully that will change in the future since I can't find anything else that does the same job for calendar reminders - or Google will sort it out and add repeaters.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
first off all, let me state, this is not supposed to become one of those "i want iphone games on my hd" threads and i am aware of the sticky post with the list of compatible games in this forum section, this is merely to collect opinions and information on certain games and fun apps for the blackstone.

please don't forget to state the version of the games for compatibility and possiblly the developer, and where one could buy those games (or in case of freeware, download them). please do not post warez links, i will report them.

since many wvga games these days are targeted at the HD2, some of them might be slow, if so, please mention that.

But now, let's get to the point:

What Games/Fun Apps are you running on your HD?

I currently have:

1. Droplets Free 2.0 (XIM INC), Puzzle game, Version 3.0, from Marketplace, free

2. Love Hurts Free (XIM INC), Arcade, Version 1.3, from Marketplace, free

3. Huff and Puff (Touch Dimensions), Puzzle, Version 1.1, from Marketplace, 1.39eur (runs slowly)

4. Experiment 13 (Southend Interactive), Puzzle/Platform, from somewhere around XDA, free (slow)

5. Xtrakt (Southend Interactive), 3D Racing/Shooting, from XDA, free (a little slow)

6. Godaft (Loffactory), Music, http://www.loffactory.webs.com/, free

7. FreeCell (nandhp), Card Game, Version 1.2, from freewareppc, free

8. BubbleBreaker, Solitaire, Teeter (pre-installed)

I think it is very hard to find decent games for the Blackstone, because while it is slower than the Leo, it also has another big issue, keeping it from being a good gaming device: It doesn't have a hardware keyboard and no multitouch, meaning, controlling classic plattform/action games is nearly impossible. Therefore, innovative game concepts like experiment 13 or huff and puff strike me the most, as they overcome these issues and offer both short time fun while waiting for the bus, as well as long time motivation.

as soon, as there are some answers in, i can maybe add an actuall poll, we'll see, how it works out till then.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Hakim Rahman:
hey Chef_Tony ! whether you have a soccer game for the Touch HD ?? :)

Hi

Before the latest update to my HTC Desire HD, I couldn't setup a hotmail account using exchange server. However, after the update, its seems to be fixed (maybe).

After setting up my hotmail account using exchange server, inbox keeps refreshing forever until I press stop/cancel or sometimes it says syncronisation key corrupt or invalid after some time.

When I open inbox again, it refreshes the whole inbox and not only retrieving new messages.:confused:

Does anyboyd have the same problem and maybe fixed it somehow? I would like to use my hotmail account using IMAP/Exchange so devices are syncronized :-)

Hope someone have fix for the refreshing problem.
[Desire HD General] PDub11:
Youve got further than myself, i cant even add Hotmail exchange in the first place!

The stock 2.2 mail app works but doesnt update the widget to show how many unread emails are in the inbox.

What a pain.
[Desire HD General] shemeri:
If it works for you then I think you got it almost working :-)

So with stock 2.2 adding a hotmail account using exchange server, works without any problems? And it does not keep refreshing when you open inbox folder?
