[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeARMS:
I agree. My second SGS was running JK4. I made a JPY-based ROM, and flashed my phone upwards of 20 times in the span of a day. The next day, it died. (Yep, I had it for a total of two days). Got a 11.10 phone a few weeks later (preloaded with JL2), created a JL2-based ROM, and flashed it many many times again. Workin' fine and as fast as ever.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delly47:
so should i keep my replaced JL2 phone, or sell it to avoid the ticking time bomb and get a desire? whats the point of having an android phone if you cant tweak it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seven2099:
Samsung i9000m JL2 is supposed to have this issue solved, or I guess the reliability improved. I do think, however that when you start repartitioning and changing filesystems on any SD, you are asking for trouble and are of course reducing the lifespan no that SD.

Just food for thought. In any case I do recommend to go: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906977 there and use this custom rom. Its specifically made for the JL2 2.2 firmware. Packs great kernel improvments.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delly47:
so i got my phone back from bell, and its the same exact phone. (10.09)

all they did was flash jl2. so i am i still at risk with the sd corruption? Didn't i read that samsung extented the warranty for 3 years?

I think i will keep the phone, instead of selling it, but im still scared of flashing a new rom to it. seearms rom looks legit though, so i donno.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leegalaxy:
I am running seeARMS' UGJL2 based ROM and it is really amazing! 1736 quadrant score!

Hi all looking to find out a way to root and install a custom rom using just my phone as dnt have a pc at the momment any help is much apreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] splish2010:
I'm pretty sure you cannot root

without

using a PC. Flashing ROM's is easy but you need to root first obviously..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
Try z4root & you are rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toonarmy85:
Cheers buddy could u point me to the apk and after im rooted can i just use rom manager
[Galaxy S I9000 General] splish2010:
I stand corrected, z4root is available on the Market and will automatically root and install busybox. XDA link is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

ClockworkMod ROM Manager is also available on the Market and you will be able to flash CWM Recovery from the app itself. After that you are set to go with flashing custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toonarmy85:
Seems it wont work due to having 2.2.1 firmware and something about the recovery not being 2e
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toonarmy85:
Really not getting any further here as now just found out that i cant get into recovery mode
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sunil_237:
So I put android on my phone a while ago. I installed a NAND version on the ROM.

I wanted to move apps from my phone to SD because some apps I installed aren't normally movable. I found the app called Move2SD (for root) and can't set it to save to external. Also Root explorer doesn't work.

I thought my phone should be rooted because alot of other threads say all these cooked roms are already rooted, also couldn't find z4root to root.

So what's my problem?

Do I still need to root? if so could you link me or give me a key word to search.

Do you have any other tips on saving internal space?

K on another line of thought.. I was thinking I should look into other builds of android. Are there any Specific builds you suggest. What I want is something good for daily use after a good initial set up, which gives good battery life and is stable.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I can't find z4root on the market either, but it's available on here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

As for suggested builds, I strongly recommend the one I'm using - it's brilliant. Very fast/smooth, rooted from the get-go, excellent battery life, complete with ClockWork Mod (for backing up and restoring your system between ROM upgrades) and it's Gingerbread too!

It's NexusHD2 Gingerbread, and you can get it here...

Thanks for the link.

Nice to know about that clockwork too, will definitely come in handy :D

What is gingerbread? sorry I haven't gotten used to android terminology yet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] morpheus1982:
I clicked the "Thanks" button on your post by mistake.

Gingerbread is the new Android 2.3, currently released on the New Nexus S.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Eclair is Android 2.0/2.1

Froyo (frozen yogurt) is Android 2.2

Gingerbread is Android 2.3

Ice cream sandwich is coming next (Android 2.4), and there's honeycomb (Android 3.0) which is aimed at tablets mainly, but will still run on mobile devices.

cheers. Got my phone rooted now, now going about figuring out what I should do lol.
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
I'm looking for a cheap tablet between $200-$300. Mainly for web browsing. Something lighter then my netbook. I'll play the occasional game and youtube too. Btw how is the web browsing?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
Also keep in mind, I don't have a problem rooting it as I'm familiar with the process.
[Nook Color General] urbanengine1:
I would certainly recommend the nookcolor, its has the best hardware you'll find for its price and features are great... (i may a have been paid to say that)

Anyway, once rooted the web-browsings great, i recommend using dolphin browser or opera mini.

Youtube works great, high quality vids stream well.

Great for games, i have yet to experience lag in any game except raging thunder two...
[Nook Color General] geek_riot:
I would recommend the Nook. Like you, I was looking for something to replace my netbook, and the 3.5" screen in my iPod Touch just wasn't cutting it. The browsing is great, especially once you root it. Youtube is great, although I have the newer .apk installed, so I can't speak for the previous version. I also have the gingerbread keyboard installed which is head and shoulders above the B&N stock keyboard, and is even much better than the DroidX keyboard that is installed with AutoNooter. (EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw that Gingerbread Keyboard is now bundled with AutoNoother) It's so good, especially in landscape mode, that I don't mind knocking out longer emails and editing word docs. I love the Nook. There is no other tablet in the $250 price range that can even compete. Go for it!!
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
You guys are awesome. Thanks
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
I'm guessing you haven't tried Dungeon Defenders :D
[Nook Color General] rumitg2:
ya dungeon defenders lags real bad when enemies get on the screen
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
How would you compare web browsing to a netbook on that? Also, what are your guys' cons?
[Nook Color General] aludal:
Auto-nootered NookColor delivers what you have listed here as your requirements:

a) It's $249, there were reports that some shops may even sell you a "re-furbished", out-of-box unit for as less as $180. Just try to see there's no dead/stuck pixels, and you're golden.

b) Web browsing in terms of rendering is fast, soon (with the advent of Android 2.2 -- or better A2.3, and the native JIT support) it will be 30....50% faster, and on a level with Samsung Galaxy Tab (which beats iPad's browsing any day, if you need some marks).

Scrolling of long-long Web pages is smooth -- to an extent there's still free RAM is left (in other words, nobody reported about the quality or even existence of cache in Android 2.x). As of today, use xScope 6.x, some AdBlock, don't use Flash Lite (try to use flash_for_2.1 app of Flash 10.1 though)

c) It's around 1 pound, add a capacitive stylus, microfiber cloth, capacitive stylus, some cardboard stand (or one made out of "official" envelope, or pocket) and a charger, it's still half kilo.

d) I'm not a gamer, but I'm under an impression when and if 2D/3D hardware accelerated driver will be available (at A2.2.1 level, probably) and more or less debugged and streamlined one (at A2.3...2.4 level) Nookie will be playing everything, scaling everything. No gyro/multi-(5?)axis accelerometer though. But nobody will stop you if you will decide to put Kinect on it, lol.

e) "HQ" YouTube app (I quoted my find in my blog fineoils.blogspot.com) plays fine and fluidly, hardware decoded and hardware assisted renderings of full 1080p HD clips and movies at HD section of YouTube (within that YouTube app, though, as the A2.1 and its every video player doesn't know a fig about Nookie's or TI OMAP3621 video/flash hardware acceleration, obviously). It's a shame that only about dozen of NC users adopted HQ YouTube -- and not our major devs.

Other video/Flash lite video playing is stuttering, tearing junk, any streaming video will lose A/V sync in less than 10 min, so it's unwatchable, Ustream is unwatchable, Vimeo won't even let you login, Justin.tv is unwatchable, Veetle doesn't have Android app yet, drat!

There's a list of other Nookie quirks in my blog you may want to study prior to your decision on Nookie purchase. Comment there or here, ask away

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derhannes1983:
Hello

I got a GSM network HTC Desire and I would like to remove the rooting. It has HBOOT 0.93 and I got no idea how to get rid of the rooting. I used the search, but it does not help me....

I did not need a goldcard to root the Desire with unrevoked3, so I do not know if I need one know... I tried to install RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed, but it tells me to get the right utility and gives me a 131 id error.

Could anyone please give me some advice?

Thx in advance.

Try a most recent RUU, this is the last

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

If ur phone is branded, u will need a goldcard, or install the right ruu from ur operator if u can find it..search on the forum..

EDIT: Remember the RUU will erase all in ur phone..btw why u want unroot? u really need unroot?

sorry, wrong thread
[Fascinate General] MisterKrispy:
I have a guy who wants to trade me his Fascinate for my Droid X. I used to own a Vibrant so I know that I do like the Galaxy S series but my big issue was with the GPS. The GPS on my DX is spot on and FAST. Are there still problems with the GPS on the GS series?
[Fascinate General] smstutler:
GPS is pretty much fixed in DJ05 and DL09. And now the dev's have booting Froyo and Gingerbread. So not too long until they are usable as daily drivers. If you like the hardware of the Fascinate over the DX then I'd say sure go for it.
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
When my phone was stock, the GPS problems everyone talked were very apparent. Once I updated to DJ05, my GPS has performance has been spot on. Have used navigation while moving and maps gets a lock on my location in a few seconds no matter where I am. I've heard mixed things about GPS being the same (or slightly worse) with DL09, so I decided to stick it out with DJ05 for the time being and am very happy with it.

EDIT: On a side note, I have compared my fascinate side by side with the DX, and the screen on the fascinate is noticeably better. DX users are usually disappointed when they see how much better the screen on the Fascinate looks.
[Fascinate General] tmlhodge:
The GPS can very easily be fixed by just rooting and installing the DJ05 package or DL09. These are maintenance updates that were released/leaked. Anyways if you are up to rooting & flashing roms/kernels/radio, the gps is flawless afterwards.

Ide say go for it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathiasb2:
Hey everyone! :)

I was wondering.. can you partition your SD Card so i have more than 512mb available for installing apps? because im one of those who LOVES to have alot of stuff on my phone :b I have all the GAMELOFT games etc, and they take up alot of space! Currently i have a 4gb SDcard, but im getting a 32gig.. so i was wondering.. can i get a 2gb partition? so i have 2gigs of available space for my apps??

Also.. can someone explain me about the SWAP, and those EXT, EXT 2, EXT 3, EXT 4 and pro's and con's? or just give me a link to it, because i just cant find it :P

Thanks in advance..

- Mathias
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
yes

you can use gparted live cd/live usb to format the card

one thing to note though, if you have 1gb ext partition be aware that some data is still kept on the data directory of the device there fore you will run out of intenal storage before you reach your a2sd+ limit
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathiasb2:
Aww.. i thought i just could have "unlimited" apps, all i needed was a big enough SDcard? Is there any way i can transfer that data to the SDcard too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
using data2sd or data2whatever but its more complicated

search the dev forums for it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Even the alpharev clockworkmod can do the partitioning.

From another universe
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathiasb2:
But i need data2ext now :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
i have alpharev however if he doesnt have s-off flashing different recoveries would be more of an ass ache than just using gparted

i wont touch anything to do with clockwork recovery since 2.5.0.7 as thats the most stable one. anything after is problems
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
I dont bother with CWM Partitioning either, since the moment one choose the partition option, the Fat32 is erased!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghettonine:
would it work to partition wid amonra then flash back to clockwork just to gain 1gb+ partition?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedkimchi:
I myself have a 512 MB partition made using ROM manager. No hassle, no fuss. I'm already close to reaching low storage space warning.

My internal memory left is around 35MB while my A2SD has 57MB left. I have around 150 apps. Using Oxygen rom, froyo stable.

In my opinion, I think you should only make a 1GB partition if you use the HD sense roms. You will still run out of space in your internal memory before you even use half of your partition.

Its a hardware limitation of the Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
why would you want to stay on cwm? amonra 2.0.1 is far superior imo

this is why i mentioned earlier that if he wanted true ultd apps etc he would have to use the 1gb ext to go to data2sd instead
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathiasb2:
but ive heard that data2ext make you lag etc??

[Android Software Development] bassmaster:
hi,

is there any way to set the sim pin by my applikation?

we don't want our customers to know the sim pin, so our applikation will know it (encrypted config file). if the device needs the sim pin, it shouldn't prompt the user for a sim pin. my application should set it for the user.
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
Maybe the following code would be helpful for you:

TelephonyManager tm =
(TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Class clazz = Class.forName(tm.getClass().getName());
Method m = clazz.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
m.setAccessible(true);
ITelephony it = (ITelephony) m.invoke(tm);
it.supplyPin("1111");

Please keep in mind that you also need ITelephony.aidl from Android sources.
[Android Software Development] bassmaster:
thank you very much.

can you please tell me, where to get the right ITelephony.aidl? i tried searching in my sdk folder, but didn't found anything. google found a couple of different versions. what should i do exactly with the aidl file?
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
I used aidl from source repository http://android.git.kernel.org/ , version 2.2. You can try the one you found.

Did you try to google?

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html

Place ITelephony.aidl in package com.android.internal.telephony in your source dir. After that java classes should be generated from .aidl files and compiled if you're using standard build script.
[Android Software Development] bassmaster:
I added “ITelephony.aidl” and the code to my app. It all works fine. Thank you.

But now I have the following problem:

My App starts within the device. While booting, the sim pin dialog request appears. This screen is blocking everything - including the start of my app.

How can I avoid that?

The only workaround known to me is to do the following:

I enabled the flight mode before I shut down the device. After reboot my app starts, disables the flight mode and sets the pin.

But I don't know an efficient way that always starts the device in flight mode.

Can you help me please?
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
You can try to handle android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED intent (see example http://www.androidcompetencycenter.com/2009/06/start-service-at-boot/) and provide sim pin code just after boot. Don't forget to add permission android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

I was searching for something on the Modaco forum, and the item below popped up (Note - this is for the UK, but could it be heading here?):

Changes to Mobile Internet fair use policies

T-Mobile Statement:

“On Monday 10 January 2011 we announced that, in line with the rest of the industry, T-Mobile would be reducing its Fair Use Policy for data usage to 500MB a month for all mobile phone customers. Following a further review of our policy, these changes will now be introduced from 1 February, to new and upgrading customers only - not existing customers.

There will be no change to the data packages for existing customers for the duration of their contract and we apologise for any confusion caused. The revision to the Fair Use Policy is designed to ensure an improved quality of service for all mobile internet users."

Lysa Hardy, VP, T-Mobile UK

Information on new data policy:

From 1 February 2011 new and upgrading customers will be given a monthly 500MB data allowance. There will be no charge for those customers exceeding that limit, and those who do will still be able to access important services such as email and web browsing, however file downloading and streaming services will be restricted. Customers will then have the option to increase their monthly Fair Use Policy to 1GB a month by purchasing a Mobile Broadband Booster. This will ensure an improved quality of service for all of our mobile internet users.

This limit here is currently 5GB, so the above would be a real disaster.

To those who have been downloading Bit Torrents or steaming for hours - get on WiFi before you ruin it for everyone.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
The changes described in your post only affect T-Mobile UK customers.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I know that - but they all part of the same parent company.

The have already cranked it down to 5gb here, so am hoping it does not get further throttled based on what they are doing across the pond.
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
You also have to understand that t-mobile UK has more users and a larger network. Everyone over there has a 3g phone. Data plans, even for home broadband are expensive 'across the pond', so people offset this by tethering to their wireless provider, or using more wireless data. Doing so saturates the network, so they need to put limits on it. Sad, but true.
[myTouch 4G General] surfnhawaii808:
See http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1936806/tmobile-backs
