It's ridiculous that I should be appeased by a 2.3 release 3-6 months after it's been released by Google. I want a new release on the same day that Google releases a new version and I want it from Google. Manufacturers can tweak and release it whenever they want to. At this point, I don't care. But Google needs to fix this. Make every manufacturer provide all the device drivers for all phones sold in the past 2 years available for every release and we should be able to get the latest Google experience for our phones.

The fact that 2.3 is not yet available for Nexus One shows that Google needs to spend some time making this their top priority.
[Vibrant General] zharptitza:
I think a long as the carriers push two year contracts they should support the phone that long.

i saw somewhere (i forgot where, but it was to important to forget) that vibrant might get gingerbread sometime in may
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
"If history is any indication, we'll get Gingerbread when Honey Comb has been out for at least 3 weeks and thousands of hate tweets have been made."

i bet this is it just like with froyo we got it once ginger was released so honey will come out and we prolly get ginger .
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Its amazing how after months of screaming for froyo, that only days after froyo's release, the gingerbread rumors and speculations start.....here we go again, this general section takes so much abuse
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
or we get it once when xda members test out leaked builds to maximum so sammy know what to fix becasue of us whiining about bugs and postying them here :PP
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Well, in that case, Samsung should just release all the drivers and let our community developers do it for them. We get better ROM, developers gets better support from US, and they (Samsung) doesn't need to do anything. I did call it a win-win-win situation. :D
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
Once the source for 2.2 is released won't it make it much easier for devs to port over a almost perfect gingerbread for us?
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
Gingerbread is a whole new os. 2.2 source wont help at all.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Froyo and gingerbread are quite similar actually
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
I don't think the Vibrant will get gingervitis. I mean gingerbread.
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
Krylon360 is working on it right now. Give him time. I wouldnt want gingerbread now thats full of bugs.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Like I suggested earlier, we may see GB, but only after the Vibrant 4G has has it for a while. There's no way they'll risk losing sales.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
The galaxy s may very easily see gb since there are no other variants of the international phone. US galaxy s phones are different though, infuse 4g, vibrant 4g, that new verizon one, etc.
[Vibrant General] proresearch:
2.4 will be out before honeycomb 2.4 will be I think ice cream sANDWHICH.

and 3,0 I believe will be for android tablets only.
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
Hard to say, Samsung "promised" froyo & it still took them forever to deliver. They've never made any assurances at all for gingerbread (that I've seen).

Truthfully, I'll be quite shocked if we get anything official from Samsung (or leaks, theres really no reason for them to be porting it).

My hope is that the SGS team for CM manages to get everything working. From there, we'll be doing pretty well.

I hope to be proven wrong & Samsung does actually upgrade us to Gingerbread, but I have no hopes or expectations for it since they've never even hinted at it being a possibility (again, that I've seen).

Sounds to me like you want Google to do a LOT of work for a product they don't sell. It's OPEN SOURCE and they GIVE it away, they have no reason to do what you want them to.

Even if Google were to start making requirements, all that would happen is the manufacturers would just fork the source and not include the Google core apps. The core apps (like market) is how Google controls Android, they say if you want the device to have access to our market, you need to do this: list requirements here.

If Google asks too much, they can just say screw you google and either make their own market or find a 3rd party market & then android fragments horribly because the manufacturers no longer comply with the requirements Google set.

As I said above, Samsung never made any promises to upgrade this phone beyond froyo & if you want more, you should have gotten a promise before you bought the phone.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Are you kidding!? Google is making billions off of Android. Of course it's in their best interest to spend some money to improve the experience. More Android phone sold, more money Google makes. No, they don't make any money selling phones or the OS, but they are making tons of money in search and other ways.
[Vibrant General] moxie13:
Either way, with the froyo fiasco and gingerbread coming up, I am not worried about getting the official 2.3. I will have a new phone by then and most likely flash with a custom ROM.
[Vibrant General] Audiophiliac1221:
I heard that 3.0 can only run on dual core. Is this a truthitude?
[Vibrant General] synaesthetic:
The dual-core requirement for Honeycomb was a rumor debunked by Andy Rubin.

Regarding Google and Android, they really ought to handle this better. The problem is one of perspective and of paradigm shifts.

To carriers, smartphones are still phones. To the average user, they are phones that can get them on Facebook and check their e-mail. The average Joe Blow user would likely be just as happy with a featurephone. Most every Android or iDevice owner I know doesn't use even half the device's capabilities.

To us, the power users, the developers and the min-maxers, these aren't phones at all. They're tiny computers with phones grafted to them. We care about things like timely software updates, bootloaders that aren't locked, rooting and jailbreaking and having complete access to every part of our device.

Unfortunately, we're still the minority. I know three other people besides me who have Galaxy S phones, and two of them (both Fascinate users) are still on stock Eclair and perfectly happy with it. The other one (a Captivate user) had me root his phone and flash it with Cognition, even though he really doesn't even use the extra power root access gives him.

My partner, she also has an HTC Espresso that I rooted and flashed with CyanogenMod 6. But honestly, she'd be just as happy with stock. She doesn't mess around with CM's settings or modifications because she's afraid she'll break something.

So yeah. Carriers and OEMs aren't going to be too terribly worried about timely software updates on smartphones until [at least one of] two things happen:

1) The average user becomes the power user, or the number of power users increase significantly (unlikely);

and/or:

2) The general consumer base stops considering smartphones to be phones, and treats them more like their PC (and thus, expects regular software updates, patches, bugfixes etc). I don't think this will happen, at least not until there becomes enough diffusion between smartphones and PCs to the point where smartphones and PCs can run the same software (which may never happen, though with NVIDIA's Project Denver and Microsoft's promise to support ARM with Windows 8, it has exited the realm of impossibility).

So I got myself a class 10 MicroSD from newegg from the company called Patriot (reviews for all their products say its a good company)

NewEgg page with item

In any case I figured 99$ isnt too bad. So I got the memory card today and sure enough computer has no issues reading it.Speeds are great and no bad reads or writes

So Im trying to set it up with ext3 etc and nothing seems to be working. So in any case I reformatted everything to fat32 on my PC and the phone isn't even detecting the memory card.

I was under the impression 32GB microsd should be ok. I hope this isnt a compatibility issue. Anyone else have thoughts in this?

Tried partition magic, default disk management application on xp also tried MiniTool Partition Wizard and no luck. At this point I just want the phone to detect the memory card to I can format it from the phone and then do the ext3 either from CW or Amon

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
I heard that FAT32 does not support 32GB partition very well.. also some card readers have problem with reading a 32GB shdc card.

Try to make a 10GB Fat32 partition on your SD card and leave remaining space free, see if your phone can use it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
Thanks ill give it a try but no point in a 32gig card if cant use most of it on the phone. Dont need most of the card as ext3 lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverexp:
Working fine here. I used Acronis True Image to clone the card the first go around, but didn't like how it setup the card. Then used Acronis Disk Director to reconfigure a 31gb FAT & 1gb ext3. You can use Amon_RA Recovery to setup the card too. I did do that too, but I already have Disk Director to give me the gui view of what's going on.

Cannot get EXT3 partition to work on Desire

I'm also having issues getting the ext3 partition of the Kingston 32GB micro sdhc card to work with my desire.

I used GParted to create a large fat32 partition and also created a 1GB ext3 partition, but when i reboot the handset i get an error meesage on the desire telling me that the sd card is damaged and that i need to format. When i go back into GParted the FAT32 partition looks healthy but ext3 partition comes up as unallocated.

This method has worked fine with an 2 and 8GB micro sd but it seems to have issues when using the 32GB.

I've also tried using rom manager to create a 512MB ext3 partition but that just causes the phone to sit on on the boot up screen.

If anyone is experiencing the same/similar problem, please let me know how you tackled it.

Hi,

Same problem with a Patriot MicroSD 32GB Class10.

Attempt to partition MicroSD with :

-Gparted

-Minitool Partition Wizard Home

-CWM (HD2)

Partitions are always destroyed or strange modified so Android can't read FAT32 partition.

No problems with a Sandisk 32GB Class 2.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentslayer:
Ok i worked out what this issue was.

Unfortunantly i've purchased a counterfeit Kingston MicroSD.

Kingston confirmed that it was a fake after i send them pics so that explains everything.

Out of curiosity, is your usb port 2.0? Mine would never get recognized on older computers that didn't have usb2.0.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
I had the same problem a while back... what you have to do is make sure you have all of the correct driver's for ur vibrant installed on your computer in order for your computer to recognize it. go to samsung's website at this link ( http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ ) and enter your phone info in. When the next screen comes up, click on the "Software" tab at the top of the screen. You then need to click on the second one down (Device(Install) (Software) (ver.10095.9) ) and download/install that to your computer. Make sure you open it after you install it to make sure you have all of the driver's installed (it should do this automatically). after you reboot your computer, open odin, and connect you phone to your pc in download mode, it should now see it. let us know if this works for you...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksurf:
OK, I've got a question. I'm having some trouble, people tell me I sound staticky ,and have a robotic voice, and I have unstable cell tower connections using KA7 modem and latest Axura. Its like "hi, you have 5 bars... no wait. you have 1, err maybe 1? Oh, no, there are 5 bars" And beautiful widgets cannot use geolocation to find my location now.. data connection sucks! constant complaints that geolocation failed. Or I open the market and get connection failures and have to press retry 5 times to get anywhere.

I'm having a feeling it could have to do with not odining back to stock for some time now. I would like to ODIN back to stock (already know how), then upgrade to Official froyo (including sbl and 3e recovery), then ODIN a voodoo kernel so I can use CWM as my main recovery and have custom roms.

Is this suggested? I know nothing of the new sbl (secondary bootloader) and think that it may be possible it can have some impact on performance. I'm not even sure if you can ODIN a new voodoo KA7 kernel after changing to the new sbl can you?

tips? suggestions?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dezdemona:
Community,

I am sorry to make my first post a request. I was browsing through this forum the other day and came across an amazing theme/rom (cant remember which). I didn't know a whole lot about how to do what so I went to investigate what I needed to do to get my phone to look that cool. Now that I know what to do, I cant find the post that had the theme/rom. Here is what I know.

-It was in the past day or so that I found the post and I am pretty sure it must have been in one of the first pages of the captivate forums.

-It might not have been the main theme in the post, and instead been a link posted at the start (crediting the inspiration of the theme)

-There were pictures of screen shots in the post

-Its look was very metallic, almost rusty

-There was a circle segment going across one of the screens, I think it was the dock on the main screen

-very simple, dark and apocalyptic

If anyone has any clue which theme/rom this might have been, I would be forever in their debt. I would also appreciate any advice on how to search better for this...I have been at it for hours.

Thank you so much,

Dezdemona

Different animations when swiping home screen?

Does anyone know what them or launcher uses the option to change how you swipe through your homescreens?

Also, when i was running COG 3.04 i had a scrollable bottom dock bar..can't seem to figure out how to get it. Couldnt find it in the options menu's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ri3tn:
The reason you had a scrollable dock in cog 3.04, was because it came packed with launcher pro (I think..). Launcher pro has the option to have multiple docks. It also has different transition options between homescreens.

Another that does the aforementioned is adw.

2.Use a file manager or adb with root access to mount /system/ and remove bloatware (SLACKER and AMAZONMP3) from /system/app/
[Vibrant Android Development] Nothingness00:
Double check if there is a update.zip and clockworkmod folder with a zip in it on your internal memory. I think the external card changed directories with the 2.2 update.

EDIT: infact, remove any update.zip and clockwork folder from the internal memory and run ROM MANAGER again and fresh download the clockwork 2.5.1.2. then check and confirm its on the internal. should be /sdcard/

once its confirmed there, then try again to reboot into recovery with rom manager

[Vibrant Android Development] Nothingness00:
4. Run SuperOneClick again to place phone into root shell ADB

For this step, run SuperOneClick from before, the same you used to root. The second button says "Shell Root". Click that :) Wait for it to say you have shell root until you reset.

5. Run (3e) to (2e) modified recovery script (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833423)

Just download the attachment in the first post and follow instructions. Its fairly simple process. Keep in mind, this may not work unless your phone is shell root from step 4

I'm Just wondering since we have 2.2 now, do you think that we enjoy using our phones more because we have 2.2/2.3 or do you think its was overhyped because of the frequent updates of other companies? Personally I believe I enjoy my x10 more since the mods came out and i like the fact that there are more apps available to me and I think its nice to have the Gallery app as a default. Also the JIT compiler is nice to improve the speed of the device but maybe we overhyped the benefit of 2.2.
