[Nexus S General] benifactor:
Would the nexus s get the update before its released on another phone?
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
If they don't update us before or at the same time the phone releases, this will be my last android device.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
it doesn't work that way you see...

we on SNS got 2.3 before any body else

including the old HTC N1 which are still stuck on 2.2 officially

unofficial ROM cooks of course released 2.3

so chances are we'll see the same with 2.4 or 3.0
[Nexus S General] chaval:
I've seen two(2) videos showing 2.4 in the NS.

One of them showed 2.4 build GRI06B.

I'm not sweating...

Look in the I9023 thread.

Worst case: more fragmentation with I9020 2.3 and I9023 with 2.4...both being NS. haha
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
Well, the way they're treating N1 owners right now is rubbing me the wrong way, but I'm willing to give them benefit of the doubt. In fact, they could be just waiting till 2.4 is ready to give it to both Nexus 1 and Nexus S. We buy the Nexus phones partly because we are supposed to be given updates on a first priority basis. If Google decides to hold back 2.4 from us for another phone, they will have lost an Android supporter in me.
[Nexus S General] Rushy_Rush:
They already have an Android Device the "g Tablet". Although from what I have read the reviews say the screen sucks (poor viewing angle), surprises me since that is what they do. On another note the g Tablet has Android 2.2 and nVidia Tegra 2

[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I'd bet my meager reputation that we get it before.

Sent from my Darkginger CM7 Google Nexus S!
[Nexus S General] Bmerz:
I'd be shocked if we didn't get the 2.4 update, at the time of its launch. Especially since 2.4 doesn't seem to be Ice Cream, but rather a touch of Honey glazed over Gingerbread.

While I am kind of new to Android (and smart phones in general), I cannot see Google keeping this update from us NS users. Although, I am a little surprised that the N1 hasn't seen Gingerbread yet (OTA from Google that is).

Just curious, how many updates did the N1 get from the time of its launch, and what Android version did it start with (Eclair or Froyo?).
[Nexus S General] byock1:
I'm really surprised the N1 hasn't seen GB officially yet. I would be curious to see 2.4
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
N1 came with eclair and then got froyo 2 months later I believe.

Sent from my Darkginger CM7 Google Nexus S!
[Nexus S General] terra_droid:
Not liking the Viewsonic design. I thought it was an external HDD. :D

I hope that the Nexus S gets its update, well if not at the same time as the release of the Viewsonic phone, at least a week or two after.
[Nexus S General] crachel:
the phone started with Eclair and it was approximately 6 months until OTA Froyo.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
More like 6 months later for the official OTA.
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
When did the first phone with Froyo launch? Or was N1 the 1st to get it?
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
that's exactly what i though as well when i first saw the picture. LOL :p
[Nexus S General] cyc1120:
N1 was the first to get it
[Nexus S General] Bmerz:
Thx for the responses to my N1 question, about Eclair/Froyo - this gives me some hope. Assuming Google follows the same pattern, we should (hopefully) get 2.4, as well as Ice Cream.

But we may have to wait awhile when the Nexus 3 (or whatever they end up naming it) comes out with stock Jell-O (or whatever Google decides to name the next Android desert). Just as Google seems to be making the N1 users wait on Gingerbread, us NS users may have to wait on the J... update.

All speculation on my part of course, just guessing. :)
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
But see, when the N3 comes out with Jello, we all sell our SNS to get N3s and get Jello and all of its wonderful bugs! :D
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
I think the Nexus One doesn't have gingerbread yet because of all the bugs GB has. GB is not finished AT ALL, it was rushed and that is why google is creating Gingerbread 2.4

All I know is Ice Cream Sandwich better be AMAZING. And I heard that J will be jellybean..
[Nexus S General] champoier:
What Google treats Nexus One today will happen to Nexus S in someday.
[Nexus S General] jivemaster:
I very much doubt viewsonic will release with 2.4 first. It makes no sense, and this hasn't happened before.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] matthewharmon102:
seems to be a lot of different guides on how to activate wp7, but this is my guide for the UK. MS UK DO NOT PROVIDE EMAIL/CHAT SUPPORT FOR WP7!! so you will have to man up and call them :P

1. call Microsoft support on 0844 800 2400

2. press option 2, then option 7

3. when the operator picks up say you have purchased a new windows phone 7 and you are having problems using some of the services.

4. when they ask what sort of problems, say you are trying to add a windows live id but when you sign in it says there was a problem and it needs a code

5. the operator should be clever enough to know you mean an activation code, and will then ask for details

6. you will need to provide REAL details. the mobile numbers are being verified with either an automated call (asking if your quiery was answered) or a person asking the same thing

7. the operator should then generate a code for you

some helpful tips:

1. play dumb! try and sound like your not really sure what you need or what to do. it may mean you get given tedious step by step instructions, but its less suspitious. avoide words like product key, generate or any sort of 'techie' words. basically, pretend to be a technophobe mum!

2. dont sound nervous!

3. think of a good story in detail! i was never asked what happened to my origional code, but think of something so detailed it just has to be true! thing like kids making confetti out of the manual, your wife/partner throwing the box away but be prepared to answer some questions. what you dont want to do is say your wife binned it, then when the operator asks you questions (they are not allowed to have 5+ seconds of silence, so they fill it with small talk) you say you dont have a wife!

4. think of a place where you could have bought your phone. personally i would avoid saying ebay, but places like phones4you, carphone warehouse or mobile phones direct (online) are good bets as they are big retailers

5. dont panic if they call you asking questions! MS are bound to be catching on by now, so they may phone you asking if the query was resolved and what phone you ahve, where you got it from etc.

6. dont get cocky! dont start celebrating while your on the phone, codes can easily be blacklisted!

7. if you get asked for your IMEI, look at some of the unboxing/taking apart videos of the HD7 on youtube, you can usually see an IMEI on a box or the back of the phone

Hi. When I connect my Wildfire to the PC and mount it as a drive, I have access only to the SD card. How can I browse my phone's internal memory if it's even possible. And, please don't tell me to use ASTRO, as I need to access it from my PC.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:

You need to be rooted though.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fransarj:
Is it just me or does samsung really make mediocre ROMS (such as my galaxy S stock ROM)? Because people with free time (such as the makers of darky and cyanogen ROMS) can make way better ROMS with faster performance, better battery life and (subjectively) more user friendly! And keep in mind they do this for FUN!

Do other android makers such as HTC, LG and Motorola produce crappy ROMS as well? I wouldn't know because i havent owned any of them. Just my SGS which now runs on a custom ROM.

Feedbacks from android users would be much appreciated. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Apart from the laggy file system i have no problem with Samsung rom .

better battery life and (subjectively) >>>Some would argue that that is wrong statement .

How more user friendly ???

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelvs:
stock JPY has so far been the rom with the best battery life IMO
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironlood:
I have a Samsung Vibrant which is currently running a custom axura rom.

The reason why I switched was because the rom had file system errors which in turn cause the system to run slow, open the gallery would cause the whole phone crash at times... I'm not sure but others but I had camera issues, namely lag when I would open the camera it would sit there and take forever to start... also when I opened the app drawer it took forever to get smooth movement it was choppy and laggy.

The main reason why I rooted and got a custom rom is because of samsung and T-Mobiles endless claims that the phone will be updated to froyo soon ... I got my phone when it was first realeased and they told me by early September at T-Mobile which was no problem but then waiting forever on samsung to actually follow through on the 2.2 was a bit irksome. The same excuse of the phone is something new and there all different got old fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwaze:
As far as I know, only Cyanogen 7 is actually a new ROM for Samsung Galaxy S, other are just a bit customized stock Samsung ones. And I think Cyanogen doesn't offer better battery life, isn't user friendly at all and as for speed - there have been reports that it slows down considerably after installing apps and using it for a prolonged time. But yes, it's still in beta state.

"People with free time" can trade a bit of battery life or reliability for speed, Samsung can hardly afford that. But I'm not saying they haven't done some actuall fixes and upgrades, Voodoo sound tweaks come to mind among others.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
i think samsung have done their best to produce the 'safest' ROMs. the developers and modders over here on XDA have tweaked this for better battery life or speed ect, but on every post that contains a ROM or Kernel or MOD states that you run the risk of bricking the phone.... samsungs stock ROMs dont have this risk..... unless you use kies haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbal:
I'm very happy with the latest JS3 (a very good one i think).

Seems as fast as a lagfixed JPx, with better battery life (especialy in idle).

I never noticed a single lag with this version and dont feel the need for a lagfix anymore.

If you want to stay on official releases, you should give it a try...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fransarj:
okay maybe i gave the wrong argument by saying that samsung ROM sucks. It could be a matter of personal preference (such as why oh why did they try to make it look like an iOS)

The new question now is, why didnt they use EXT4 or even EXT2 in the first place? Their filesystem made my SGS lag the longer i used it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjibba:
The real question is, why does it take 6 months from release until Samsung have their software figured out?

It is true that JS3 is performing on par. The problem is that it was released in January this year, and not June last year, when it should've been released.

If only Samsung had a software development department that was able to match their hardware engineering department.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
They do. Its members are supercurio, hardcore, stefunel, Darky, ficeto and the whole lot of people. It's good for them because they have fun and it's good for Samsung because they cover the more vocal minority of people who use the phone with custom content which costs very few pennies for Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
Remember, Samsung were also working on updating drivers and porting froyo too.. I would say some problems were semi-exagerated at times too
[Defy General] shajumohamed:
ok guys i have a couple of doubts

1) how do i install froyo on 2.51(nondowngradable) bootloader?

2)if it is possible is there a way to unroot the phone and take it back to the "just out of the store" condition.(for warranty reasons).

thanks in advance
[Defy General] shajumohamed:
come on guys isnt there anyone who has their phone in 2.51 rom????

somebody please give me a reply
[Defy General] komakaze:
What's the safest way to install Froyo on 2.51?

I'm new to Android and XDA and I would also like answers to these questions. My phone came with 2.51.1 system/build too. Which I assume is (nondowngradable).

Over at - and-developers .com /sbf:defy

I see mention of Android2.1Eclair 2.51uk Roms and 2.51eu Roms, are these interchangeable? I live in Australia, ordered my phone online, the stores shipping records suggest it came from Hong Kong, I open the box and the small manual is in Italian, and a couple of the Tips RSS widgets pre-installed are in Italian (no biggy). System Version states: Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.IT so I take this to suggest I should grab the 2.1 Central Europe JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 as a backup SBF. But this states it does not contain Blur, and is not rootable(is that still accurate?). My phone has blur and I have rooted it with SuperOneClick so a blurless non rootable SBF doesn't seem a reliable backup to return my phone to it's original state if at some stage I need to (perhaps when Motorola finally rollout Froyo or Gingerbread for the Defy).

It's all very confusing at the moment.

This maybe handy for anyone else with 2.51.1. With rooting my stock 2.51.1 I found that z4root.apk did not work. But SuperOneClick did. And to boot into recovery you can from the app or from a powered off phone hold "volume down" and "power on" and when the !exclamation mark and green android appear, tap the lower right corner of the screen to enter recovery.

Hopefully someone can give us answers :confused:
[Defy General] d1srupt3r:
+1 I also Have this unit. I have blur_version.2.51.1.mb525.retail.en.it in the system info. Rooted mine with SuperOneClick and the z4root never worked. Installed System Recovery and everything goes well. Now I would like to try some ROMs posted here but before I do that, I don't know what are the necessary precautions/infos before applying those ROM in the recovery..

Please someone englighten us here?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] christopherwoods:
I've noticed that when Carrier Provisioning runs for my handset (and this is across ALL the handsets I've ever used that have the Carrier Provisioning app on them) my data connection is set up with a proxy server (this is on T-Mobile UK). My carrier's internet settings - as supplied by T-Mobile themselves - do NOT include a proxy server, and sometimes I have to uncheck the proxy server before I can get stable data service. I always do it by default now (in fact I just set up 3G and MMS settings myself, I find it less trouble)

So, have you checked for entries for non-existent proxy servers etc in the connection settings?
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
So after turning my phone on today, I can no longer see the previous free applications that I had installed on my phone.

Is there a known reason for this or I'd something wrong?

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Android Apps and Games] Tets42:
This happened to me once, I opened the Market app and there were purchased apps only.

You need to have root to do this, but it's save.

First, clean the cache (Cache Cleaner NG is nice, but you can use "Manage applications" for that), then delete all files from /data/dalvik-cache/ and immediately reboot. Hopefully, problem will be solved.

Be aware that the system will be booting longer than usual - it needs to recreate all the cache. You may gain some space in your phone memory in the process.
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
Cool, thanks. And yea I have root so ill go and get the application now.

Ill report back when something happens.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
Well I coudln't get that to work but I DID find an alternative just in case anyone else has this problem.

Basically, Google only follows your paid applications, not the free ones. So when you re root and start over again and if you restore from Titanium Backup, you're technically not installing the applications from the market, hence them not showing up.

I found a program called aTrackDog, which is free, and actually checks to see if your installed apps (whether they be from the market or not) and if there is a newer version on the market, it gives you the option to download and install.

Again, the app is called aTrackDog and I'm using it now, looking good to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
AppBrain's App Market will do the same thing when you sync it, just to throw in there.
[Android Apps and Games] GroovyGeek:
Happens to my rooted aria all the time. No need to wipe davlik just open settings/apps then find market and clear cache, market will then rebuild links. And TBP will most definitely restore links to market despite claims to the contrary above
[Android Apps and Games] FLAC Vest:
Thanks for posting, ill clear the market's cache right now. After I clear it is there anything else I.have to do or just wait a while?

And what is tbp?

[Android Apps and Games] Tets42:
Hmm, cleaning just the cache did nothing immediately, that's why I assumed I need to delete dalvik as well.

[Windows Mobile] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hi.

I am just working on my own driver. I tested its body and seems to be ok but I have some problems concerned with the fact, system does not want to load it at boot time. Fortunately I can load it further having already access to the shell so I know it works as it should.

I suspect that maybe it is caused driver is not XIP'ed becuase it has been created as single dll file. Maybe my driver .dll file should be inserted in kitchen as module for example in mydriver.dll directory and I have to place in this directory needed Sxxx files and imageinfo files like other available drivers have ? Am I right ?

You may want to pm Shadrac; he's the author of Extendir, which is a xip file system driver. I think most people use it as a file and not a module.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batxda:
About 750 emails from the past 3 weeks suddenly reappeared not just on the DHD but also on my other computers (they were presumably reloaded from the server). That included valid emails as well as spam emails. This is a business email account and it is downloaded by 3 other PCs as well as on the DHD so it's a considerable amount of work to identify the duplicates and delete them.

This has never happened before but has happened twice since I bought the DHD a month or so ago so, although I don't know for sure, I think it was the DHD that caused the problem.

The re-downloaded emails included both deleted and undeleted emails so it (presumably) is nothing to do with the "Delete off server" check box. That is now checked.

I want to know what is causing this peculiar action so that I can avoid it in the future. I haven't found this problem by searching the forum but, if it is there, please give me a link. Any ideas?

Launcher panel on a swipe, in any application, in any orientation.

SwipePad is a launcher panel responding to a swipe on the edge of your phone screen, no matter what application you are in.

1. Touch down the bottom edge of the screen;

2. Move your finger towards the center of the screen so the pad will emerge;

3. Release your finger on a specific slot to action.

Hold your finger on a specific slot for 2 seconds before releasing (until it turns orange), then you could change the assignment.
