[Defy General] mitzumr:
Hi all!

I would like to know if anyone has interest in developing a camera app for the Defy that works with the volume keys.

The purpose of this is that we can take pictures underwater:)

There seems to be an app on the market, but i've tried it and it doesnt work:( (it does not save pictures)

Waiting for a reply...Greets!
[Defy General] m11kkaa:
As the Defy would take damage, if you are going too deep(I thing 1-2meters are the maximum) this would'nt be very usable.
[Defy General] Vladuu:
I would like to see something like that, would be good for the defy owners.

Actually it would, for a phone that can shoot underwater that is. I made over 40 videos already with me and my friends at my local swimming pool, and some pictures wouldn't have hurt. You know, for the fun of it (the only purpuse i see in this phone).
[Defy General] djsebyss:
There is an app for us. Just go to android market and search Defy Photo Lite :)
[Defy General] gommers1978:
Or you can just use button remapper, you can use the volume up key for camera. Works on my Defy with 2.3.4
[Defy General] hackergnome:
If u are on cm7 or anyother custom rom(not all)

U have a option to use search key to use as cam button...

Its in cm donno abt other roms...

Swyped from my DroidDefy using xda Premium app
[Defy General] salingpusa:
Use cm7 it has the option to use button s as shutter. Will touch work underwater for photos?
[Defy General] pachuau86:
yup, cm7 has options for using vol up, vol down and even power (tho wen i use that i always turn off lolz) for capturing photos

With the nexus s having an inbuilt running applications manager. Is it necessary to install advanced task killer?

Not really, despite running tons of programs in the background, the os hibernates the applications when not active to conserve power.

So I would say not necessary.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeRiley:
Just ordered my HDH and over the past couple of days, viewing the themes and screenshots on the forum, I've become seriously insterested in creating something 'more for myself' if you like. However, like I said, my phone has only just been ordered. I'm really anxious to get the ball rolling, anyone have any idea the easiest way to go about this?

Any kind of virtual HDH or some kind of theme viewer I can use to assist me in getting what I want done that little bit easier?

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if there is an SMS backup software for WP7.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] gevans01:
I have been asking for a sms backup for W7 in other forums. I hope one of the developers is working on this. I would like to reinstall my htc hd2 W7 with 32gb msd and restore my sms messages. Let's hope!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] dazza9075:
I read on some MS blog somewhere (and no i dont have the link at the mo)

That Myphone developers are already busy bees working on this. so basically some form of cloud based backup, which should be fine given that zune can take care of the rest
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] mcbyte_it:
I really want to try WP7 on my HD2, but the unavailability of SMS backup app is stopping me, I never lost any SMS since 8 years, because all mobiles I used had some way to export sms to the PC: Infrared, bluetooth, sd card...

how can it be that WP7 released in 2010 doesn't have this capability :confused::confused::mad:

Buy a Desire HD :D

just kidding, the stability is linked with what you do with your phone. We can't answer your question. My usage is not your's.

a/ Try a build with a lot of answers (usually a long thread means many people use the build).

b /read the thread you will see if it's more thanks posts or bug report

c/ try the build of a dev, not someone who takes a build, adds two icons and post it (noone is targeted)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
Just go out there n try as many builds as u can...dev's put in tons of effort 2 cook em & have done it for free, all u have 2 do is download n test out...NOONE can answer d question as we all have different uses 4 our phones + locations, languages etc...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
My vote goes to cmylxgo's Stock DesireHD 1.09n.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Same here, very stable and clean. Can't get Gingerbread keyboard APK to work on it, but that's not a deal killer for me. Any suggestions anyone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
The next best is SmartKeyboardPro from the market.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
i will vote for core droid and motoman's for sd...

and core droid and rafdroid for nand.

I repacked my own from their builds that suits my needs. I had all my frustrations from cmylxgo's build.

you can try my repacked builds, it is in my signature.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kastro1784:
I I've tryed coredroid desire hd v 4 everything was. Working but no data connection at all that was the only problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kastro1784:
Now I must say MCCM version 4 is the best build stable and fast for those of you that don't want to convert to nand builds. Check it out
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emjakmaciej:
i can recommend dandiest DL Desire series. Fantastic!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
Dandiest DL series is very bad for sd HD desire builds. Constant data drops when going to the market. 10 minute phone freezes when installing apps which sometimes makes the phone hot restart. Maybe NAND is better.

Havent tried rafdroid's version because I read the thread and it has data issues too.

Went back to the MDJ desire HD v4.6. It has been removed from the forum. But it is the only version that works 100% from the sd card for me. You would have to google for this build.

MCCM v4 is just a rip off of MDJ's desire HD. He takes someone else's build and adds apps and "lunchers" and calls it tweaking. He departed from XDA becasue of it at one time. I really don't understand why he was allowed back let alone to post this build. I do not recommend any MCCM builds. Get them from the DEV or Chef that has an idea of what they are uploading.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kastro1784:
Wow didn't know that at all that's tough Smh
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kam333:
out of the many builds ive tested, dandiest desire dl v3.5 has been the

most reliable for me

,

as for mccm, tried it, was good, just not as good as dandiest builds, he improved on what mdj started, the facted that he didnt credit mdj was maybe down to an error of judgment, who knows (dont know anyone who hasnt made a mistake or 2), but it doesnt change the fact that the builds he tweaks (or whatever) are good.

really though, no one can say for sure which build will be the most stable for your setup.

try a few, if you find 1 you like stick with it for a while ;)

but thats just my opinion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnerz:
My favorite is Core Droid, and in the next 24 hours the next release will be posted :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] masondoctorjt:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aqblood:
my vote goes to DL Desire by dandiest..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] seking:
Very hard hitting. :D:D:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paolo.dc:
I think that the longest threads don't really reflect the best build for you but for sure the most looked into and what most people consider the best build is in the end irrelevant if it doesn't work in your phone.

If you parse through some threads you will find endless posting of problems and praises and making sense of it all is impossible when the same build works for one and not for another that has an identical setup.

For the past few weeks I have tried almost every SD build made and the results are that it all depends on how the build gets along with the phone.

If it has problems go with another one until you find one that loads smoothly and easily and has the least amount of hiccups that allow you to get the most out of your phone but don't discard unknown builds just because they are not popular.

Paolo

PS: I did not mention the names of the builds I used and the one I chose to keep because the ones that did not work for me have worked flawlessly for many others and viceversa.

Yes, you use RSDlite and flash them. Read up instructions on how to do it. Dont flash and then start searching if your defy gets bricked.

Hiya guys, I have a problem with a friends Galaxy S & i am looking for some help.

She has gone & locked herself out of her Galaxy S & asked me for help as she knows nothing about Android. I told her to just sign in with her google account & it will sort itself out, This is the point she gave me a blank look, turns out she skipped setting an account up due to not wanting any spam on her e-mails. (Yer i had no idea what to say to her when she said that, i was more confused with her logic! :confused:)

So i said as long as she doesn't mind losing all her data/contacts etc i can get the phone working again, Thus she agreed & has left me with the phone & this is where the problems began, The 3 button combination doesn't work. I pursume as its a 3UK branded Galaxy S & they have there own loading animation that they took this feature out

I found another thread with more or less the same problem (Here) but nothing in there works.

So i am left holding a Galaxy S that i have no idea how to recover, So my final shot & getting this working before i tell her to call Samsung is to ask on here.

Is there anything i can do that means i can get this phone working again or will this be a call up Samsung job?

Thanks in advance :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivenj:
Guys, need some help here

I'm generally ok at fixing these sorts of problems but this one has got me well and truly stumped.

Been trying without much luck to flash a working fw onto i9000 since updating to rom with voodoo and forgetting to disable lage fix before flashing non voodoo rom. Even flashing back with voodoo rom doesnt help.

I think I've finally managed to ascertain the root cause of the issue seems to be that either the internal sd card is somehow write protected or the current journalling on the ext4 partition is undoing and changes to that partition (where does journal reside?). I seem to be in a viscious circle as well. I cant mkfs a new ext2 partition as it complains that it wasnt unmounted cleanly, If I ignore I get a segmentation fault. If I e2fsck the partition it complains it cant write to the superblock, If I use alternate superblock it complains there is data in the journal, trys to replay the journal and complains it cant write the superblock. If I tunefs to disable the journal it complains that the needs_recovery flag is set so need to e2fsck the filesystem first :-S.

I've flashed kernel that has recovery option to disable lagfix. If I choose this and reboot it just sits at Galaxy S boot screen indefinite (over an hour waited). If I mount USB using same recovery mode, I can see the files in the partition, I can (through windows) delete the files so folder shows no files however disk still shows a percentage used. If I eject and remount all the files are back. I have formatted the partition as fat32 and re-labeled the drive. Format completes succesfully (done this both using cmd line and right click format). on eject and remount, label change has remained but files are back again. Partition still shows up as ext4 when looking via adb shell.

Have tried to use parted, but despite all parted functions giving success indicator, no changes are ever made.

I'm now at a loss on how to proceed?

Anyone any ideas on what next steps could yield any further results?

Hope it helps, i know how frustrating it is.

I have tried Darkys res rom, It wouldnt boot, just stuck at Galaxy S boot screen so didnt persue it. I'll try doing it multiple times as you suggest and let you know. Ta

EDIT: Nope tried it 4 times, same result, boots to Galaxy S screen, I get the voice prompt saying its coverting system, will take approx 2 mins, then another voice prompt about restore, then it sits there indefinetly (waited about 20 mins each time). Whilst its in this state adb devices shows device in recovery, and I can get an adb shell, however there seems to be no commands accesible, cd, ls, mount etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiev80:
I have a way that may fix your bricked phone. If it gets to the SGS logo boot animation, I would try flashing CM7. Try it out and then try reverting back to a stock rom.

Here are the instructions:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15275-gt-i9000-cyanogenmod-7-we-love-bugs-version-20110211/

You MUST follow the instructions to the letter though. Do not deviate from them!

How do I know this may work? Because it happened to me. :) My phone was bricked, then I flashed CM7 and now it works again. I've tested going back to stock rom and it works. Give it a try. It may be tough reverting back to stock since CM7 gingerbread is awesome! lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecrucible:
If that doesn't work try flashing one of the earlier Froyo ROMs, I used XXJP2, and then moving on from there. The key is to ensure that whatever ROM you use has all three files (PDA, Modem, & CSC) and tick Re-Partitioning on Odin.

Again this is what worked for me and my device was restored to great working order.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivenj:
Thanks for the suggestion but this wont work, as I said above, the root of my problem is that the internal SD card wont keep any changes I make to it. Once I upload the zip file and the phone reboots into download mode in order to flash with Odin, the files I would have put on the internal SD card will no longer be there. It seems to me that the FS cant set the recovery_flag to clean and therefore keeps replaying the journal and overwriting any changes on reboot.

I sort of proved this earlier, by managing to flash JP4 with speedmod kernel. This allows the phone to boot, but it has major force close issues. I can take a photo, see it in images, I can even mount it via USB and see it on my laptop. When I reboot, the photo is gone and anything I've deleted is back again.

Fundamentally I need someone who maybe has some experience fixing the filesystem, I cant see any Roms working until this manages to get resolved
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivenj:
Ive tried JP2, but no joy. Also tried

JFF,JS5,DDJG4,Darkys Res,JP4,JM8,JS3,EUGENE373,JPC,JP3,JM5 & Finally JPU, All with a mixture of partitioning and not.
