[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
The tough case was not the parameter influencing the luck in this case. As long as the rear speaker hole is not sealed, the water will always have a way inside the phone, no matter how many shock protection layers you have o the phone.

And generally speaking, tap water is not dangerous for the electrical parts of low voltage powered devices (like watches, phones and so on). The main issue with phones dropped in water is that the water will infiltrate in the optical dispersers of the LCD screen and on the screen connectors, generating blurry pictures or no picture at all.

I've learned something from your experience :) ... the water will not go in between the OLED screen and the digitizer .. which is a GOOD thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DaRkMyk:
Great! I'm glad your SGS survived! :D

just take more care of it, ok? and don't drop it on Sea Water! :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alex.bacer:
any waterproof supplies for galaxy s?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GGSunny12:
Zip-lock bag?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] k!pps:
I've almost fell from my seat reading the end of your story. I am glad to read that everything went Ok. But does the phone smell .... hmmm different?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] prashanth_sgs:
Truly lucky.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] twe69:
There are better ways to change the colour of the phone :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mikeyj1973:
Update phone still working a OK two and a bit weeks on...;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Soniboy84:
I have toughcase as well. Not the prettiest case, the phone loses it's "luxury" feeling, but you can certainly throw around the phone no problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kennytung:
I dropped my Galaxy S (with Tough Case) today, it fell directly on my hard tiles floor at a height around 70cm. I was really freaked out! I picked it up and it was still there like nothing happened (no crash, no slow, no reboot, no nothing) :) really happy that I chose this case!
[Android Software Development] golfadas:
Hello there, this might sound stupid bu i really need to build an app that blocks all texting and phone calls to certain numbers in a determined place after a determined time of the day (in my case after 2am near bairro alto or alcantra btw its in portugal)

the thing is that i never programed for android although i have some experience programing in java c php.. so i need some help to know where i can learn the basics to program such an app
[Android Software Development] rigman:
There's probably free apps that will do that for you. Try searching here.

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/call block filter

If you've never programmed on android, and want to try yourself, I suggest learning the basics first. This is a good place to start.

http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html

Work through the tutorials, look at the common tasks and sample apps section.

Also good starting tutorials;

thanks man :)

the apps that i have found do precisely the oposite of what i'm trying to achieve.. i want to block outgoing calls/texts not incoming..
[Android Software Development] rigman:
What are you doing? Making calls to random numbers while you sleep? (sleep calling (-: )

Or maybe you're getting drunk and calling an old girl friend?

LOL, that's what I was thinking. Just lock the phone with a password. Just hard to understand HAVING a phone and WANTING to block a call???
[Nexus S General] Byte_76:
I would like to request devs to port a Galaxy S rom to Nexus S because of the media codec support and the touchwiz interface.

The Touchwiz UI alone is not enough because it misses all the useful additions that Samsung integrated into the ROM.
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
Buying a galaxy would be the best solution?
[Nexus S General] keirmccann:
Dude it cost me a fortune to buy my mum a "star" god knows how much a galaxy will be!
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
I know what you mean but I think a galaxy rom would be a big downgrade on nexus....no gingerbread :)
[Nexus S General] dario3040:
Porting a galaxy s rom to the nexus s would be extremely hard if not impossible.

As the galaxy s runs android 2.2.

But since its the same hardware there is a possibility.
[Nexus S General] sarge363:
Who needs all them codecs when u can convert videos with Handbrake that work perfectly on the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] BOMBSHOP:
The tw slide text/call would be awesome
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
I second this... most of you probably never owned a galaxy s phone to even realize what you're missing

But judging by the lack of development here and the fact they moved this to general were most devs to even look

i doubt it will happen

wish Eugene373 had a NS
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
you cant convert a video to get same quality unless you want to take up 12 gigs for an MP4 ive spent way too much time doing this and eventually gave up

Nothing is impossible considering its open source

FYI they have 2.3 working on galaxy s phones yea not 100% but still
[Nexus S General] tmhung:
i 'm only want CM7 rom with MIUI theme :))
[Nexus S General] hoseth0711:
I would also like to see a port !
[Nexus S General] crking1980:
the only thing I miss about my vibrant is the camera options and the ability to record in 720p. It was probably the best quality I ever seen for a video camera on a cell phone. Besides that, nexus s, owns
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
I want this also :D

yup loved the touch focus

cant do 720p thanks to hardware limitation blame Google becasue they wanted to implement NFC crap the pretty much replaced the HD chip and Micro SD slot area.

But yea no doubt NS still better phone just wish we could utilize it for what its worth
[Nexus S General] Aphova:
I'm running CM and I do miss some things. Codecs, HW accelerated browser, touchwiz, swype... But it's not worth the crap that it comes with. RFS lag and flaky lagfixes, bloatware that's hardwired into the framework, interface lag (no JIT, makes a huge difference). Basically it's not a good tradeoff. Once I have voodoo sound and swype back I'll forget Samsung ROMS.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Please put back into development section. Developers dont even look here

other sub forums have "[THINK TANK] [REQUEST] in development section to give developers ideas ...ect
[Nexus S General] sarge363:
The movies I've converted look good enough. Nothing over 2gb works but think about it......its a phone not a home entertainment system. It works great as a portable device. If I want to watch something in full HD there are better ways than a 4 inch screen.

Maybe when the new Vibrant 4g gets a 2.3 update :-P

PS: I do miss Allshare.....
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
This has been requested more times than I can count...
[Nexus S General] hoseth0711:
Guess why
[Nexus S General] simms22:
seriously? someone actually WANTS Touchwiz on their Nexus S :eek:
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Because people don't know how to search so they start new threads asking for the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Instead of reading previous posts and realizing why it hasn't been ported yet.

But hey, if all of you want it so bad why don't you learn to code for android and port it yourself?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
its just the nature of being a person. its going to happen over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

we dont live in a perfect world, thats just the way it is :p
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
I've had a captivate. Or three. Touchwiz is the most atrocious piece of trash I've used on an android. ASOP FTW.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I demand perfection! ;p lol

Ditto. Owned an Epic 4G for 3 months and despised everything about it.
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
Why would you want to turn one phone into another? You like galaxy, buy one. HTC to you taste, get the real thing. Its like buying a Ferrari and turning it into a lamborghini. Plus like it or not your wanting a downgrade your device.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Brilliant, mate.
[Nexus S General] ryan562:
Only thing I'd want ported over from my old vibrant or from a fascinate or epic are the cool lockscreens.
[Nexus S General] jriv:
Get lockbot pro from the market it has the galaxy s lockscreen

[Nexus S General] xmRipper:
I'm just waiting for Galaxy S2...
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You can get swype from the swype beta website if you have a beta. I'm using swype, right now and its perfectly fine.

Voodoo sound is also available. Look on the development forum for kernels with voodoo sound.
[Nexus S General] hoseth0711:
Now that galaxy s 2 is launched with Android 2,3 based touchwiz, there should be no problem in porting it, looking forward to it
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
I am sure developers will be falling over themselves to complete that challenge! :rolleyes:

Better still.....why settle for a mere port of your beloved touchwiz when you can get a genuine one and live a contented life with the phone of your dreams. :D
[Nexus S General] r34p3rex:
Why didn't you buy a Galaxy S in the first place then? You could've saved $200. The only real advantage the NS has over the Galaxy is Gingerbread
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
Exactly! Its like me wanting Sony Ericsson Mediascape and timescape back.....if it meant that much I would have kept my old phone and not be wanting some port of them on my nexus.
[Nexus S General] hoseth0711:
Well to be honust, i dont think that its exactly becasue of tw, i just miss action in the nexus s development forum.. Nothing is happening!
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
Don't worry. Things are ticking along nicely. Seriously if you check out other phones Dev sections on here it is true often there are more roms but they are just variations on each other. Plus when gingerbread grows, we grow :)
[Nexus S General] :
And a working GPS;)
[Nexus S General] ryan562:
Would rather have a dev bake it in within a rom. Stock lockscreen still shows using lockbot
[Nexus S General] r34p3rex:
GPS works fine in any of the newer ROMS :D
[Nexus S General] stolen_pillow:
Ugh, I spent so much time with my Vibrant getting rid of TouchWiz and applying lagfixes. No thanks. CM7 has the power widgets in the pullldown menu which was pretty much the only worthwhile feature of TouchWiz. If you want videos on the Nexus there are plenty of ways to get them on there. If you want the widgets, use LauncherPro, they're faster and look nicer. Seriously, the Nexus has been such a better experience than my Vibrant was, I'll never go back to a "customized" Android phone again. No bloated UI's, no bull**** RFS, if you wanted that stuff you shouldn't have bought a Nexus. AOSP ftw!

It seems a bad block,have you tried a wm rom to see if it can be flashed correctly?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] muziling:
does this told us bad block is normal and no need to fixed?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

About bad blocks of NAND devices:

Most NAND devices are shipped from the factory with some bad blocks which are typically identified and marked according to a specified bad block marking strategy. By allowing some bad blocks, the manufacturers achieve far higher yields than would be possible if all blocks were tested good. This significantly reduces NAND flash costs and only slightly decreases the storage capacity of the parts.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
I've been following the development of so-called ROMs for the Vibrant (and other SGS devices), but I have yet to see a single AOSP ROM. Even when Samsung released the original kernel sources for 2.1, there were no AOSP 2.1 ROMs. Why not? Is it because they don't know which BLOBs to pull for insertion or the proper vendor overlays?

Some developers have done great work with SGS kernels (especially supercurio and his Voodoo kernels ... eugene373's tend to always wipe the internal SD card unnecessarily ...). But, a kernel does not a ROM make ... therefore I ask, what is truly missing to build an AOSP ROM. I've gone through the sources, but I don't follow makefiles too well.

I know we have another month or so before Samsung is obligated to release their 2.2 kernel sources, but that should have no impact on 2.1 AOSP ROMs. Therefore, I ask "what is the hold up?" What is missing, and what might I contribute ...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSneakerWhore:
Need 2.2 source code...

2.1 is a dead horse--why bother when 2.2/2.3 are out?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
The reason to bother is to at least get AOSP running. Once its on 2.1, it'll be easier to get 2.2 AOSP running on it. But claiming 2.1 is a "dead horse" is the wrong path ... the real question still stands: after 9 months on the market their still are no AOSP ROMs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarim.ali:
MIUI

Now that vibrant 2.2 source is released ... we finally have a REAL AOSP port and my all time favorite from my old HD2 the MIUI.... so keep your heads up and wait for it to get finished. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Get a custom rom. There are so many good devs doing them don't waste your time on AOSP....... until they release the actual source code...... on April 22
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
Except, the 2.2 source for the Vibrant has not been released. The SGH-T959D that shows Froyo sources on Samsung's site is for the Canadian Fascinate, not the US T-Mobile Vibrant. Samsung has yet to release the 2.2 sources.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
Except the so-called "custom ROMs" are just modifications on the stock theme, a replacement kernel and a change of some of the supplied applications.

There is nothing close to a full "custom ROM" such as CyanogenMod or MIUI because we don't have Samsung's sources. What is passing for a "custom ROM" for the Vibrant are just repackaged files. It is akin to the "ROM cooking" that took place for the WinMo phones, not a truly ground-up build from source that is possible with Android.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellette:
EDT/Devs4Android has the MIUI build. From Source.

TW has a 2.2.1 in testing.

EDT has a 2.2.1 Beta released.

TW has a 2.3 AOSP in testing. From Source.

Watch the forums and reply when a call for Alpha testers is posted.

Hopefully it won't be long before you see a full TW/EDT/Devs4Android collaboration!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattb3:
I think what the original poster is trying to ask (and I have the same question) is why were there never any real 2.1 AOSP, cyanogen5 for the vibrant. The source for 2.1 has been around for many months. Were some other proprietary bits missing, was the released source code such a mess that it was unbuildable, something else? With those questions in mind, why will things be any different when the 2.2 source comes out?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
Yes, this is more towards what I was getting at. We do not have Samsung's kernel sources for 2.2. And, we do not have a Samsung provided vendor overlay.

When we receive these two pieces, then a true AOSP build will be possible. However, we do have the 2.1 kernel sources, so why wasn't a true AOSP build possible then? What was missing, and can we actually expect Samsung to release the overlay that's needed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richiehd:
Actually, that's true. I know it was old but why didn't anyone build a 2.1 cyanogen or aosp rom? (Not to say its easy.)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrozenflame:
A noob question, kindly can someone explain what is the vendor overlay stuff?

Many thanks! :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master&Slave™:
Where have you been?

Dude theres been a true AOSP ROM for the Vibrant since like december and thats CM 6.1

Im running it now
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
For probably the same reason that many phones with non AOSP firmware running 1.5/1.6 did not bother with AOSP 1.5/1.6 when they were released around the time 2.1 source hit. Why bother developing at all for what is essentially an "out of date" OS.

The only people it seems who actively continue to develop for existing (as opposed to new) firmware are manufacturers and carriers. This stupidity should be left to the manufacturers who still do this.

One of the larger snags way back then (sits in his rocking chair on the porch) was a lack of understanding of the phones proprietary aspects and how to work around them. But we have a fairly clear understanding of Samsung's boot process now, and RFS can now easily be turned into a distant memory.

I would wager a guess that the apathy towards 2.1 will not repeat itself once we have 2.2 source widely available and the low level similarities between 2.2 and 2.3 should have Gingerbread being more than the experiment it currently is. It's been barely more than a week since Eugene's little present manifested and there are already proper and stable kernels available.

Keep in mind that the devs we do have, have done a phenomenal job of cleaning up, speeding up, and drastically enhancing our existing 2.2 release. And perhaps to the point where many will not really care, though I know many would still like to see CyanogenMod6/7 properly on this phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
Um, that's not quite true. The CyanogenMod.com website lists 0 files available for download for either experimental or stable files. The CM6.1 you must be running is not a true CM build.

Also, CM is not AOSP, but rather AOSP with modifications.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcameron:
The vendor overlay tells the AOSP build system which proprietary files are needed from the device that are not available in source form. This includes things like GPS and video drivers, baseband firmware for wireless radios, &c.
