Yeah, thankfully it didn't brick. I feel like I'm walking through a minefield with this thing.

Anyway, switched ports, had the file renamed to end in .tar, made sure Odin was opened as administrator in Windows 7, and thankfully it flashed fine.

Now I'm back at vanilla 2.1, can start fresh in terms of upgrading, was having some problems earlier. Is that GPS locking problem present in 2.3? Assuming I put ClockworkMod 3 on it and have the file system reset to EXT4, can I just flash to 2.3 ROMs right away?

Such problems

Hi everyone,

Skip this first paragraph if you just want to read my steps from problems to solution:

I hope this post helps people who were in the same situation I was in.

A few days ago I just happened to read the news about the new gingerbread for the AT&T i997 Samsung Infuse. I read that it wasn't over the air. Because of what has been seeming as a bluetooth leak after trying everything to stop the leak up to hard resetting it, I figured I'd pray that gingerbread fixes it. So on went my quest in the last few days trying to get this gingerbread update as fast as I could.

1) I downloaded keys mini for the Samsung device which was needed for the upgrade. I installed it on my main pc which is windows 7 64 bit. After installation, it's first run, it automatically updated the application.

2) I plugged in my phone via usb and it said device not registered so I got in contact with a Samsung rep in chat who told me to register it and it would take 24 hours.

3) I registered on Samsung and waited about 48 hours and still no change.

4) Got impatient and read about GTG Ultimate unbrick which is supposed to return my stock phone back to it's out of box condition which eliminated what I thought as an error with my phone of it not being registered.

5) Now after plugging it in after the unbrick. I got a message stating "device already up to date". I kept getting this for the last couple days. Sigh

6) Read that I could download the new gingerbread stock ROM without being rooted. Just had to use the ODIN3 I got with the GTG Ultimate unbrick zip file and supply the ROM I997UCKL2-Homebinary.tar.md5 as the input file.

7) Follow basically same instructions as unbricking but not reformatting and just supplying the md5 file as the input for hte PDA button then clicking start.

8) Odin 3 message status window was stuck at setupconnection and I knew this wasnt right. It was stuck for over 15 minutes and it should only do that for a minute or less.

9) Unplugged usb and big error in red on Odin 3 (but didn't have a choice)

10) Tried removing battery and retrying the flash but now a bigger issue the screen was all colored specs or in other words multi colored spots. Rut roh!

11) After scratching my head and googling like crazy some others had the same issue and they mentioned removing the battery and trying again but didn't mention that the spots would remain on the screen while the items could be flashed fine.

12) Tried again this time it got past setupconnection but was stuck at initializing.

13) Thought to myself let me try it on my Windows Vista 32 laptop.

14) Voila. It worked. So don't give up if you see the colored spots on your screen. There still is a chance. I now have gingerbread. THANKS EVERYONE!

Next Morning Update:

I was too quick to be happy. It seems I am one of the small few who is having touch sensitivity issues and lag typing on the lower right side of the screen especially with the back key (backspace). I typed my first reply to an email and the third word in the backspace was completely disabled.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scnix:
Hey guys,

Firstly, sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology because I'm still quite unfamiliar with it.

Anyway, I just got my Desire Z about a week ago and am planning to root it so that I can access paid apps via Market Enabler.

I've read through all the guides on how to root and seems simple enough. However, I have a few questions regarding the default HTC applications.

1: Will I be able to continue using and updating the HTC apps (like HTC Locations, HTC Camera or HTC Car Dock) that came along with it after rooting?

2: Is is possible to keep the default SenseUI after rooting instead of getting a custom ROM that looks like SenseUI?

3: Will my phone stop working with htcsense.com after rooting?

4: Will I require a custom ROM installed into it after rooting, or can I just reuse the same default HTC ROM?

Basically, I love my phone and don't want to change anything except getting to access paid apps from Android Market. To do so, I would need to have Market Enabler working, which needs me to have Superuser permissions. Hence, why I need to root it.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Rooting is just rooting; nothing will change other than your ability to do whatever you want to/with your device. Just rooting won't change anything other than your ability to install apps which require root access.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scnix:
Oh, so I suppose I was looking at the wrong rooting options then. The ones I've been looking at seems to flash the phone as well (unrevoked).

Guess I'll need to find a tutorial to just root the phone. Thanks!

I'm sure its something protective because a lot of heat is transfered to the top of the phone if you remove the back of the case its actually a stronger smell the closer you get to the speaker

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ph33lix:
With lossless FLAC support and a high quality Wolfson DAC chip, it'll be hardpressed to believe that the SGS isn't a viable media player that sounds good.

One problem noted by several folks and supercurio (from the dev team) is that when a headphone or earphone is plugged in, some kind of messed up EQ is applied.

The EQ goes away though if a line-level device is plugged in.

Also before I found out about supercurio's voodoo sound mod, I felt that the output isn't able to drive my 600ohm headphones loud enough. So I set out to build a headphone amplifier just for this.

Click on pic to view album.

So, who else here does the same?

The iPhone crowd can't be the only folks having all the fun (iPhone 4 iteration announced too O_O).

-Edit-

Ooops, forgot to consider those who wanna start building one.

I used the A47 amp. Uses 2 opamps per channel to enhance current output without resorting to using a buffer chip (most buffers are single buffers which means I'll need to squeeze 3 chips at minimum).

Here's the loot.

http://benfeist.com/a47/

This site explains very well on how the circuit works and goes through the layout and build process step by step.

http://www.headphoneamp.co.kr/ftp/sijosae/Gallery/

Sijosae is quite highly regarded in the DIY headphone amp community for his circuit miniaturization. Look at the A47 section.

For an even simpler circuit, you can try the CMoy amp.

http://tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy-tutorial/

Really REALLY good stuff, detailed website to get started on the basics of opamp technology for audio amplification.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ph33lix:

I'll give it a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Billus:
Grrr, so tempted to build one. Only problem is the size since I wear skinnies most of the time.

Anyways, may look at this again when I find the time. Nice post mate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
it's really cool if you are to stay at home and watch movies or enjoy music

but having that extra appendage in a Velcro strip... not such a great idea to go out anywhere with it
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] thedauntlessone:
Don't use your 600ohm headphone with a DAP. That is all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ph33lix:
It's actually still pocket friendly unless you wear skinny jeans all the time.

But yeah, now with voodoo analog volume control mod and galaxy tuner, I find less need for the amp especially when I travel light.

But still, even with sensitive 32 ohm IEMs, this amp helps deliver ample current for bass heavy songs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] real977:
Im running bionic rom which is great compared to stock 2.2 but my data is really slow.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
That is because Bionix V uses KA7 modem and that is TERRIBLE when it comes to reception and data.

Flash a KA5 modem. Look under the dev forums for the clockwork flashable download.

That will fix your data and improve your reception.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaac970:
I think you should use the JL5 modem I got crazy speed on my vibrant. Indoors I would get like 2.5mbs down and outdoors I get like almost 5mbs. Crazy good and I can't complain about battery life but maybe that's because I got a spare battery :)

KA7 is the best for me followed by KA5 and JK6 but your mileage may vary.

Mileage may vary seems the best answer for sure. JL1 works best for me. No idea why but data screams. KA6 was alright, KA7 blows. everything else was just average.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobesabi:
Have you try factory reset? That seems to work for some people.

Or you can try flash modem to which ever version that works best for you. It seems to work for most phones...except few oddballs out there.

Asking won't help much, you just gotta test it to know which is best for your phone. KA6, KA7 all works for me.

Not that TERRIBLE. BOTH works for me just fine. KA7, I did not have to do clear anything.

Android Games That Deserve More Credit

Cubes Free

Cubes Free is a great game that uses the accelerometer. You play as a little android running through a field of cubes. You tilt the screen left and right to dodge cubes in your way, if you don’t, you explode and die. The game has tons of levels, its not ad heavy at all which is always nice in a free app. The dev also offers a paid app, ad free of course, with the ability to make custom levels. The free version offers a ton of different levels and difficulties.

Ninjump

Ninjump has gotten a good amount of hype in the iphone world, but I never hear much about it in the android community. You tap the screen to make a little ninja leap left or right, (depending on which wall he is on) as he quickly moves higher up the wall. You dodge rooftops sticking our from the side, ninja stars, flying bluebirds, running foxes, and stick of dynamite. When you tap the screen to jump you also attack. If you attack 3 of the same enemies in a row, you get a bonus jump. Each bonus jump varies depending on the trio of enemies you attack. The game has a leader-board too which always makes things more interesting

An amazing one stop app for all things emulator.

Is it possibe to change the frequency that the Desire HD uses?

I just got an HTC Desire HD but it apparently doesn't use the same frequency as my other phone did so I'm stuck on insanely slow EDGE.

I know this request may sound a little odd but I'm desperate to change it.

At the moment the frequency is: HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

And I need to get to: 850/1900MHz

I saw that you can apperently flash "Radios", is this what is needed? What exactly would flashing a Radio do?

If anyone could help me here it would be GREATLY appreciated, I mean what's a smartphone without 3G internet?

Edit: I just realized that both Rogers and the HTC Desire HD share the 1900 frequency, is there any way I could enable the 3G on that frequency?
