game works now.

1.I paid and it didn't work on my device, I was out of the refund period.

2.I feel due to ^ those issues, I should be able to try other resources without worrying about piracy since I already paid for it. You obviously just don't care and should catch bad viruses from your 8.1 gigs of apps. :D

[EVO 4G General] sir_allure:
I'm having that same issue, I think its with the Evo hardware 0004. Cause i did the update and it messed everything up. My GPS sucked too. I don't know if its his file that did that. Cause the last evo I had it worked just fine.

What it might be is that your weather status isn't updated. Meaning that the last weather might be cloudy. Try refreshing the weather and the unlock your phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Sup, you need to update the weather more frequently, but be aware, this'll kill the battery faster as well ;) :D

True. What I do is just keep my data refresher timer set to manual. Then when you need it, refresh it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newageoutlaw:
So I flashed nero v3 a few days ago. How would I go about flashing to v5. Would I have to odin back to stock then go to v5 or can I just flash straight from v3.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
I never odin back and have never had issues. You can just flash over it. If there are a lot of bugs you can flash or odin back to stock and then flash the new Rom. Just be sure to disable voodoo if you go back to stock. Also, make sure any time you flash a new Rom to let it sit for 10 min then reboot to eliminate bugs and smooth it out. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
+1 except for the never Odin back part. Not that DCrozier28 is wrong but I always do it. The developers will usually tell you if it's necessary or not. For the most part dev to dev is pretty safe but for instance V5 was written purely based on KA5 so it might have some bugs flashing over V3 which was designed before KA5 was released.

To some Odin is an unnecessary step to me it's more peace of mind and an extra 5 minutes.

I have also found I have WAY more success to on the letting the ROM sit after 1st boot then reboot. Some roms and phones don't immediately load and situate everything, a good 10-15 minutes then reboot ensures everything is where it needs to be before you start loading stuff back up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecjunkie:
I had this same question, glad I found this post.

Also whats the best way to backup sms? I am just assuming use titanium and then restore once the new rom is there?

One thing I missed about my Touch Pro 2 was microsoft my phone. It was a easy backup and sync. I am still fairly new to android but there has got to be something similar.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ender0506:
I have never used titanium but there is a free app in the marketplace called SMS backup and it had always worked for me. Hope this helps...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SK328CI:
i use Go SMS app and it has an option to backup all your current sms in xml format which can be restored.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissimo:
If it wipes every thing is there really a need to odin?

I never have and haven't had an issue.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecjunkie:
which sms backup do you use? I see so many.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
Like post above it could be Rom specific. Some debate may say to odin to stock but they will probably list it. I have flashed different roms over another with out ever odin to stock and never had an issue. Or at least issues that really bothered. Seems like its all about personal experience and opinion/preference.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ender0506:
I used the one from michele valentini
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
hmmm. maybe start by reading the first post in the nero v5 thread. you know where it has the download link for nero v5 and tells you how to flash it....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
no, but logic has never stopped people from being redundant before....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
i'm sorry, but that's not a good reason. sure, v3 (jl5) was written before ka5 was released, but you know what else was? jfd and ji6. the rom wipes, so it doesn't matter what the previous version was.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
It's been stated it's a matter of personal preference and opinion unless the developer states otherwise. I personally don't mind taking 5 extra minutes to do the to make sure everything is wiped. The above was just one of hundreds of reasons, I can pick another. I have also PERSONALLY flashed ROM over ROM and had issues. If you have not then you are the almighty among us and I worship thee and will build a golden shrine in your honor.

Every single ROM posted has a disclaimer about it messing up your phone. So in allll due respect to the truly talented developers; these ROM are consistently not perfect ports of official releases and cannot be confirmed as a perfect flash overs once they hit the masses.

My SUGGESTION to a nooby(no disrespect just a fact) person that wold even ask this question is to YES Odin back and start fresh. "Why?" because it will keep the forum cleaner since there will be less room for error and extra, "I flashed V5 over V3 and now I am in a boot loop" or "is my phone screwed???" threads...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
every rom has a disclaimer so if you mess up your phone you realize it's not their fault (i.e. you probably did something wrong). it's not because they think their roms are going to break people's phones. the exception being oc kernels that explicitly say (and is obviously typically ignored) not all phones can handle the oc.

you can enjoy wasting your time using odin, but just because you probably messed something up flashing between roms, doesn't mean everyone should follow your silly odin ritual. as you have pretty much summed up, you have no real reason or evidence why someone should odin between roms.

again, all vibrant roms wipe, so odin 'back to stock' will do nothing for you. if someone can't be bothered to read the instructions on flashing a rom (i.e. disable all lagfixes), then they either shouldn't be flashing their phone, or may actually learn from their mistake.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Riiggghhttt good talk chief, must do it again sometime...............
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
awwww. how cute. you can't explain why you do something so you try to play it off with sarcasm.

lol...

but seriously, all jack assery aside, what exactly is it you think odining back to jfd does for you that formatting /data and /system don't?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
No, u don't need to do anything, tw's said that if u go from nero to nero, you can, just flash right over it.

U don't even need to disable voodoo.

Also, listen to funeral, he knows more than that, blizzard guy
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvibe88:
Theres nothing wrong with going odin to stock re-root then flash a rom. It may be a comfort level with some people. TO EACH HIS OWN! Don't be butthurt because someone doesnt do it YOUR way. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crus:
My phone is able to go online, send SMS, receive calls and does everything that I need it to except making calls out. Every time I tried to, it will go straight from "dialing" to "call ended". No ringtone, nothing.

Funny thing is if I put the sim card into another phone, it will do everything including making calls out. If I put another sim card into the Desire Z, it works fine, make calls and everything else.

I went and swap over to a new sim card and it still have the same problem.

This phone has been giving me grief since I bought it in late Dec 2010. When I first bought it (online), it worked one day and could not be turned back on after a day. Had to return it and had the mainboard replaced. It will p*ss me off badly if it turn out this time that it is another mainboard problem.

I usually use it in Australia using 3 and Optus without any problem.

I am currently in Malaysia & Singapore and this is happening with Maxis (Malaysia) and Singtel (Singapore) sim card.

Thanks for your opinion / suggestion / help.

What does it do when you tried to dial? Did you change sim cards recently?

Edit.. nvm I guess you changed sims a few times. Wish I could help. Not familiar with changing countries.

Eh? So which is it? It works with a new SIM or not?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemsli:
The same behaviour was caused by using a wrong international numberformat on my girlfriends phone. Did you try typing the phone number manually instead of using a contacts app?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crus:
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

I emailed HTC and they inform me that this could be a software problem.

So I had to hard reset the phone and it worked.

I guess I might have to do that whenever I change different sim from different country.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anomaly:
By hard reset, do you mean a battery pull? I have the same problem now.

Edit: Nevermind, it seems to be a carrier problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I think by hard reset, he means a factory data reset. Pulling the battery is a soft reset. No different from rebooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crus:
I had to do a factory reset. Meaning everything will be reset, all data and apps lost.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] deviationer:
(G2 w/Cyanogen 6.1.1)

I have spent hours trying about 25 different apps and I can not find anything that works properly.

Here is what I want to do.

I have Music (Mostly FLACs, some MP3s) and Videos (divx/xvid, wmv, h.264 mp4 etc) on a windows 7 computer on my local network. I have my phone connected via wifi to my local network. All the media files are shared with no password to make it easy.

All I want to do is play any of the media files from my computer on my phone.

I have tried DLNA, Twonky, using SMB file explorers on the phone to try and open the files, and I have tried all the free media players but they only look at local SD Card files. Now I can copy a media file over the network to the phone and play it just fine but thats unacceptable.

I should not have to transcode or install a special server app on my computer to allow this kind of thing to happen. The phone can play mp3s, flac, xvid etc. There should be no issue streaming those files just like my HTPC does. I click on my mapped drive, open file, boom VLC plays it, no problems. If I had a linux computer it would mostly be the same thing.

What is the issue with these android phones?

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ianmcquinn:
Nothing wrong with the phone, just a matter of knowing how to set it up correctly. And to be fair, I don't believe what you are asking for works out of the box on any mobile OS so this is not an Android issue (not sure about Windows 7 Phone, but I highly doubt it).

What you need to do is mount your network shares as a CIFS mount (so you're right, this is exactly like you would do in linux). You can either do this manually with Terminal or there are apps on the market to make it easier. I use CifsManager. There is also a new one that looked pretty nice in the main Android app forum called Mount Manager (haven't tried it).

You will also need a kernel compiled with CIFS support or a CIFS module compiled for your kernel (cifs.ko). I don't believe the CM6.1.1 kernel has CIFS built in. Might want to try searching if someone compiled a cifs.ko for it though. I use Pershoot's kernel and he provides a number of kernel modules on his website.

Once you have everything set up, just mount the share to your phone. Now you can browse the share as if it is a local directory (and if you select an audio or video file in a file manager, it will properly stream). Even better, if you set the mount point to a directory on your SD card, you can force a media scan and all of the files will show up in whatever media player you use (since as you said, media players tend to only look on the SD card).

Alternatively, if you use an SMB file explorer that allows you to choose what player to use when selecting a file (I think File Expert does this), RockPlayer should be able to play it (since I'm pretty sure it supports SMB streaming). I haven't done this, but in theory, it should have worked just fine for you...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcolmy:
I've read on some forum that I should not flash an arabic firmware until I flashed an english one.

I have on my phone JPJP4, I would like to upgrade to JPJPG. So according to what I've heared, I have to upgrade to some other english version before I can think of flashing the arabic-supported version.

Aren't firmwares supposed to erase everything and start over?

I mean, my understanding is a firmware Is a system by itself, it doesn't need another operating system to rely on.

When I install a windows XP on a PC, I don't need any OS to be there!

Can someone give me some insight on this.

thank you.

why don't you upgrade to jpy most roms are based on that firmware version
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcolmy:
I am considering upgrading to JPY (but I don't think it supports arabic?)

but that's not the point, I was asking is the statement mentioned in the thread true or false?

why would someone say DO NOT upgrade to an arabic firmware unless you upgraded to an english (i.e. european) firmware first??

so my last question is, is it safe for me to upgrade directly from JHJP4 to XXJPY? is it safe to change firmwares randomly whether it was an upgrade or a downgrade??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themate1987:
as you are going to switch the firmware you should install wipe version and disable lagfix ...... post here what rom do you want to flash and i will check if you need to pre-install english firmware... (i don't think it's needed but i will check)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcolmy:
I was thinking of flashing JPY, then darkyyy's rom. The I discovered that JPY doesn't support arabic. The half-solutions out there are not enough.

So anyway, now I'm going to flash JPJPG, then I'm gonna try darkyyy's (I know darkyyy's doesn't support arabic either, but the firmware JPG does). what do you think?

But here's my original question, why would I ever flash an english firmware before flashing another 'firmware' that supports other languages? aren't they ALL samsung official firmwares??

thank so much for your reply.

Hi,

I would highly appreciate your beta tests and feedback of my recently released game - look for "Guess 2D" in the android market. Guess 2D is similar to good old mastermind, but I have added second dimension [shape] on top.

With 4 pieces you get 2^16 (65k) combinations.

All comments are appreciated! I hope you will enjoy the puzzle.

Could you remove the About and Restart buttons from the screen. Make them accessible via the menu key. Will give more screen space to see the work done on puzzle and will avoid accidental press of restart in the middle of a puzzle.
[Android Apps and Games] pl.ayground:
thanks for feedback

Fair point - I think I will need to add a start screen to make sure new users will see the About button even if they do not press Menu during gameplay. Then I will hide buttons in the game screen. Also I am considering adding another gameboard that will fit 5 pieces [with separate score tracking].

[Android Apps and Games] Daniel2650:
My first post on XDA :)

I simply dont understand the game...

When i got one black circle in the 1st and 2nd row, then i thought it has to be on the specific place where the black circle appears...

I only have the confirmation that one color and one shape of all 4 is in the right place... quite random info.

Would be easier and more interesting if the black circle appears on the specific place where the right shape/color is.

Or maybe I'm not old enough :) never heard of mastermind.

Maybe a friendly member got a tip for me how to solve this :D
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
It would be too easy Daniel, if the black circle was in the exact spot. You should play some bubble blast first if you find this hard. :D

Hi Daniel, it will be easier the way you discribed it but I do not think it will be more interesting. This is not an easy puzzle - and its intended to be tough. Check the results from people in this thread - not only its possible to beat Android - also you can do it suprisingly fast.

Hope you will succeed!

[Android Apps and Games] Hilarium:
hey.. right now the game is measured in rounds. the fewer rounds it takes , the better you are.

can you add a time trial? since if its measured by rounds, people can just look at the board for hours and get under 7 rounds easily.
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
on average i finish in 6-7 rounds in 15-20 mins. and I could b a really angry man if i accidentally pressed restart during a game. I discovered that yesterday.

It took me a while to update the code - finally next release is uploaded to the market (look for Guess2d).

Now you can enjoy 4x4 and 5x5 modes (if you find 5x5 to easy) and also the restart button has been moved to menu - I can imagine the frustration when you click it by accident after spending 15 minutes decrypting the puzzle.

[Android Apps and Games] pl.ayground:
Hilarium, I have moved to Mobclix and their Ad SDK has requested those permissions. Frankly speaking unsure what you mean by super user access - is it any concern from security standpoint?

PS. In the market the list of permissions is: network communication, system tools, phone calls - which one is the super user you mention?
