[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guravneet:
Hi,

I recently upgraded my Galaxy S to Android 2.2 via Kies... Now the Baseband Version is DDJP2... Is there anyway through which I can update it to 2.2.1 using KIES ?

I have not rooted my phone till now (and no idea on how to do that)... and no idea on Flashing the ROM as well...

Should I root my Phone and Flash the ROM? In that case, what will happen to existing data in the phone and apps ?

Also, need step by step guide to Root and Flash the ROM....

Which one is the most stable ROM for 2.2.1 ?

Any suggestions and thoughts?

P.S: I have been Symbian user for years... This is my first android phone... These questions may be basic...Pardon my ignorance...

Thanks,

Guru

Hi all,

After a restore i found that mybackup restored more then 8000 sms records. I have look into mmssms.db and found dubplicate records... Dont know how that can happend...

but can someone support me how to solve this... Because the file is 5,2MB in size and when i want restore again ( after a new rom flash ) it will not take lot of time to restore them... Because the amount must me less then 1200 records...

Thanks,

160bpm

SOLLUTION !!!!!:

1) Download SMS Backup & Restore (Ritesh Sahu)

2) Backup your SMS database (You get a .XML file on SDcard /smsbackup/)

3) Open this .XML on your computer

4) You see al lot if lines... that are the sms messages... you see also everywhere in the line: subject="null" or subject=""

5) You must remove all the lines where subject="" is standing. The correct lines are the ones with subject="null"

6) Check now how many sms lines you have and change the second line <smses count="1864"> to the correct amount of smslines.

7) Put back the .XML file into the /smsbackup/ folder on the SDcard.

8) Remove all sms from your Android phone

9) Now restore with SMS Backup & Restore. You will see how many sms will restored.

It is working here !!! I'm very happy... removed 6352 duplicate lines now i have 1864 correct ones :D :)

[Milestone XT720 General] texascowboy:
Hey I was just wondering if any XT711 users were here? I got mine in a few days ago and for the most part love it. It does have some common XT problems and it does not come with Google services so I gotta figure out how to get the Market, but all in all, I like it. I am however hoping that a version of Dexter's Froyo will eventually be made to work on it, but I fear that the XT720 users are going to keep that one for themselves. Anyway, I was just curious to see if any one else had one of these and could tell me what they think about also!

So, my gtablet has been all hacked and custom firmwared for well.... what day did it launch? heh...

What i am really looking for is a list of 3d games that people know to scale "well" on the gtablet...

So far i have seen most 3d android games are designed for a phone, it is almost like they need to fork the android market... or atleast include in a tablet comptable option...

So if we could get a good list of confirmed 3d games that work well on the gtablet, i would be forever... well ok 15 mins grateful.

(This MAY or MAY NOT be because i am doing some research of how to do a game RIGHT on a tablet..... heh.)
[G Tablet General] tysonkam:
Dungeon Defenders works well. There are some overlaps in the menu system due to screen size scaling, but that's being picky. It's a pretty fun game.

[G Tablet General] Alpha06:
Rocket Bunnies works great

Turbo fly 3d works, minus the g sensor. Other than that its nice and smooth.

Also, pretty much all the polarbit apps work. Like Reckless Racing, Raging Thunder..........
[G Tablet General] Dave615:
Patience my friend :) Once Honeycomb is released, we should see more 3D games and apps that better utilize the G Tablet's Tegra 2 and hardware acceleration capabilities.

Hi guys,

I just got my replacement HD7, and it has a loose volume rocker. Is there any fix to this? This is my 3rd replacement that I have gotten, my original HD7 did not have any problems with the rocker.

Thanks

Kangu
[HD7 General] XxGoKoUxX:
call, complain, and inform them this is the 3rd time and that they've wasted a total of 3+ hours putting you on hold and making you send in another replacement. this should make sure your next phone is A+ condition :) good luck

Unfortunately, it's an issue that affects several HD7's. Mine has it. I find it isn't that big of a deal though, it doesn't seem to affect functionality.
[HD7 General] Nissan350:
This is quite a common problem. A buddy of mine has gone through 4 HD7's and they all have had a loose volume rocker. Mine has it as well. So does my cousins. that's a total of 6 HD7's that I have witnessed with that problem. I bought a case for mine http://www.speckproducts.com/smart-phone-cases/htc-hd7-cases/pixelskin-htc-hd7-case-black.html that solved the problem.

Galaxy S Parrot Car Kit

Thanks for yours replies. I've not find any solution, i've changed the custom rom and passed from Darky's to MIUI. Fantastic rom but the same problem :(

Every update and every firmware on board have the same issue, the phone connect to the Parrot bluetooth but the sincronization of the contacts not go fine, and I can't do any phone calls with my car kit. I think that the only solution at this time is to update our phone to the official Gingerbread firmware the next June :mad:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minkerton:
I have the SGS GT-I9000M from Bell, was running Froyo 2.2

Decided today to dabble around with rooting and roms.

Followed all the directions to installed Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition w/ Voodoo 5.4.1 kernel.

Everything went flawlessly and everything runs slick. Except for one small issue.

Now I seem to be losing network connectivity. Sometimes it will remain on "Bell", other times it will just display "No Service" or "Emergency Calls Only".

Have I missed something or done something incorrectly?

Any insight on this would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Also, is there a way to revert back to stock 2.2 if necessary?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Revert to stock via Odin

Went through every Darky's post I could find and can't seem to see anything like this being mentioned.

I even tried the Resurrection version, now my phone is a brick.

Does nothing but reboot over and over at the start.

Suggestions?

[Omnia 7 General] lapingultah:
At the moment I'm balancing between Omnia 7 and Optimus 7. I haven't been able to feel Omnia live yet (today's the day I hope), and I've only had a quick touch with Optimus 7. I have to test them thoroughly myself, buying either one blindfolded is not an option.

So far I'm attracted by Optimus 7's physical buttons and smaller size; Omnia just sounds so huge compared to several other phones (not really comparable with non-smartphones, I know) but then again Galaxy S didn't feel that big when I got hold of one. Remembering LG's display, it wasn't that poor either but then again, I have yet to see Omnia's and compare them properly (maybe not exactly next to each other, otherwise the choice could end up too obvious;))

What worries me the most is LG's lock key, which has a really bad placement and poor ease-of-use compared to Omnia's equivalent. Other thing I'm worried about is LG's buttons' build quality, having read here how they make clicky noises and such. One other thing that's confusing me is that can you really unlock Omnia using the Windows key exactly the same way the actual lock key would function (as long as the proximity and/or light sensors are not blocked)? And is it so that the LG has no similiar function? Software wise, how much (if any) software there is - official or less official (by that I mean the file system explorers, registry editors, etc) - for the other model but maybe not for the other? I haven't had the time to familiarize myself with all the custom software available yet.

Please share your thoughts of these two models if you've had the experience of using both, aspects I may have overlooked and so on. The only thing I give close to zero value is the camera. As I said, I hope to have some "quality time" trying them both later today in a store and end up with the other one, but any tips what I should be mindful of or especially sceptical with are most welcome!
[Omnia 7 General] slysy:
Regarding size, according to this infographic the Optimus 7 is both taller and thicker than the Omnia7 (although not as wide) http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/files/2010/12/windows-phone-7-comparison-spec.jpg
[Omnia 7 General] JuWa:
Well I haven't tried LG, but I had a Galaxy S before. And about the size, they are actually almost 100% same size, except Omnia7 is just 1mm thicker and it has a sharper edges. It fits very well in my pockets. Build quality is also great in Omnia7.

And SuperAMOLED just looks awesome, especially with this UI. So far I have been very happy with this.
[Omnia 7 General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
I have used both the Optimus 7 and Omnia 7, and I'd go for the Omnia 7 without ANY doubt.

What you say about build quality is true: The LG feels cheap, and not very sturdy or solid. The omnia 7 feels strong and 'premium', especially because of the metal back. It's large, but definitely not too big. The size comparison with Galaxy S is pretty similar, which shouldn't be surprising because they use exactly the same screen.

Talking about screens: the difference between the LG and Samsung is like day and night. The S-AMOLED on the Omnia is a lot brighter, with much nicer colors. Also, blacks are really BLACK on the Omnia. It's just great to see the black background 'blend' with the black surround the screen. It's as if its a single surface, if you get what I mean.

In the end it has to be your decision, but I would definitely suggest the Omnia 7.
[Omnia 7 General] karthikraman:
Omnia 7 looks really good and classy. Personally, I did not like the look of the LG phone. I am first-time smartphone user and find Omnia7 a bit big to handle. Perhaps the HTC trophy is another you could consider (except if you are an avid gamer -- any many reports about its slow loading, owing to SD card storage).

Another thing to consider: Omnia has touch-sensitive back and find buttons, which maybe an annoyance for some people -- I have no problems (mostly).

Good luck with getting a shiny new WP7 phone! WP7 rocks!!!
[Omnia 7 General] lapingultah:
Thanks for all the replies! I managed to get a good hour trying both (not at the same time, the models were security-locked on the opposite sides of one, huge, display stand and couldn't be taken next to each other so I kept going round the stand, hah!) yesterday.

I was already mentally prepared to grab myself the Omnia, but the more I played around with Optimus, the more I became convinced it would be the choice for me. The wideness isn't that big of a difference between the two, but the 5mm is just enough for my palm not to be able to grab and handle the Omnia properly (one handed, that is). I ended up going through every button and corner of the Optimus' screen properly with one hand, which I couldn't do with Omnia (buttons I could do, reaching the 'Back' with my thumb with only a little trouble, but not the entire screen). To be honest, this was an ability I wasn't expecting any bigger smartphone to have.

Omnia's screen was way superior compared to Optimus, but Optimus still wasn't bad at all. After a while, I also noticed that the responsivity of Optimus was somehow more natural and swift, even though Omnia's wasn't bad in any way. I remember Engadget comparing Optimus with HTC phones' "glancing blow" -like capacitive responsiveness :D I'm a friend with physical buttons as well, so that way Optimus still felt better, though I could live with Omnia's one physical and two touch buttons, but not with any HTC device.

LG's lock button is the biggest issue for me and that's the only thing still holding me back; it's just so f***ing tiny and poorly placed compared to Omnia's perfect solution (including the opening with Start-button which of course LG is missing). At the moment I'm looking though a selection of rubber and silicone casings for Omnia (surprisingly many available, not so many for LG) which could help with the firm grip - which is now crippled by the wideness. Only other things I couldn't get a feeling at all were call quality and the display visibility in sunlight (Omnia would own that one, but how bad would LG be), hopefully I have to make the choice on monday and still have a weekend ahead to continue to play with both. I hope the store won't kick me out for hanging around before that ;)

Now that I think of the Engadget article again, they were quite right saying "It's hard to quite crown it the finest WP7 launch device -- after all, Samsung's Omnia 7 has a bigger and significantly better display -- but the LG Optimus 7 might just be the one we most enjoyed using."
[Omnia 7 General] lapingultah:
After a long, long, long weekend of thinking, I'm now a proud owner of Omnia 7 :) The lock key on LG was eventually the final deal breaker for me, let's see how I get comfortable with extra the 0.5cm of wideness, heh!
[Omnia 7 General] bommel0815:
haha, also got an Omnia because I can turn it on by pressing the Windows key (seems to be the only WP7 device to offer that) because I find that to be 100% more convenient.

Too bad it has an AMOLED screen, I really don't like the readability of small text on these...
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
Love my Omnia 7, best buy since HD2 from HTC

Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
Haha

I'm sure you won't regret it too much!

WP7 is nothing like WM6.5 where you really needed to hit those corners so accurately etc.

I find that WP7 is very well designed and most options and buttons are quite central rather than being on the edges of the screen so hopefully you won't have a problem with the extra width!

Look forward to interacting with you more on this board!

I'd recommend you get a case and a screen protector.

The case is really essential as the phone is randomly very very slippery...also it keeps the battery cover on when you do accidentally drop it!

and the screen is rather easy to scratch... I never put my phone with anything else in my pocket but still somehow managed to get 3 separate long scratches on the screen :(

Hello All,

I am very very new to this GPS and have a small doubt..sorry to trouble.

I am using froyo and to use my maps i do each time the steps below.

1) dialpad-- *#*#3214789650#*#*

2)Commands--TTFF TEST

3)START GPS IN HOT START MODE

4)It takes minutes around 10 minutes to locate 8 satellites.

5)I then start nDrive and then it locks to satellite immediately.

My Doubts

1) Am i the only one idiot who uses such procedure and wait EACH TIME FOR 10-15 MINUTES

2)Is there any other way i can use GPS and connect to satellites within 2-3minutes

3)Generally for all you people out there how much time does it take to et all 8 satellites or use GPS.

Please guide

I know this must be really annoying but please do help as there may be many who would really appreciate this.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Have a Great Day

Use "gps booster" from the market.. It gives a fix in about 3 or 4 minutes..

There were many threets about this topic:

- install GPS booster from Market

- install GPS Status from Market

- run GPS status / tools / download (once a week)

- install Launcher Pro

- create Activity / gps setup 2

- run gps setup2 / commands / get possition and wait about 5 - 15 minutes

-----

now my GPS run immediately / once a week you can download new GPS status data

If you have rooted phone you can install SGS tools and make GPS fix
