[Fascinate General] drnihili:
While I think SJ has so far been a major fail at social media, I'm glad that Sammie is at least trying. This has probably been suggested before, but here's my best idea.

Do a semi-fork of development. Release source code to active developers on a regular basis. Allow them to use it as the basis of ROMs just as they currently used leaked code but with no threat of retribution. Released code is essentially open-source (you'd have to work out the license details as you probably want a more restrictive license than GNU.) Legally, you probably can't pay the developers for their work without incurring liability for their products. Instead, see that developers have access to hardware for development purposes (i.e. give them phones, maybe on a lottery basis) So Adrynalyne (for example) gets a monthly code dump of whatever Samsung's latest work in progress is and an occassional phone to work with. In return he agrees to let Samsung have access to his code, he should be reimbursed for any code that makes it into an official ROM.

The development community has more to work with, so the phone nerds are happier and promote the phones to their friends and community. The developers get more recognition, some free hardware and stuff, and the possibility of earning some money. Sammy gets a happier community and a reputation as cutting edge without having to release bleeding edge roms to those who would only be frustrated by them.

But then, I'm not a developer, so what do I know?

I will ship you my fascinate's battery if they even consider this, because I know samsung would rather shutdown then ever do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamsungJohn:
I haven't forgot about you guys. Today we had a meeting with XDA owners via telephone. Were just getting everything ready before we make a huge announcement. I told you guys I'm NOT going to let you guys down. Just be a little patient.

Thanks

Nice to hear from you John. Looking forward to hearing the news.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Interesting to hear.. But I wish it wasn't so "hush hush", because otherwise it starts to feel less of an equal community.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
i guess i missed the part1.

what is this all about ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kapollo:
I guess that instead of making another threads/parts it would be good to pin this thread down.

I, honestly, am very happy and interested in seeing how this cooperation will progress in time (and of course I'm not the only one here).

It's very encouraging to see company such as Samsung to start a cooperation (at whatever level) it gives kind of "legitimacy" to what people do here (although legitimacy might be too strong word, but still).

Either way I'm thrilled to see what the feature brings.

Regards,

[Galaxy S I9000 General] vladoots:
Hi there, John!

I personally am happy to see this sort of reach from a big company toward the ”little people” who often do more that a giant.

I also am wary regarding any possible positive outcome, considering you still have to overcome a strict and rigid hierarchy, while independent devs here are free to move as they please.

But it's nonetheless a great thing if Samsung really wants to be ”more open”.

Only one question: why, of all Sammy subsidiaries, has Seoul chosen Dallas (or any other US city for that matter), given that the most powerful and fruitful development effort was and still is directed towards Europe (SGS's biggest market to date)?

Cheers and all the best,

V.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Does the XDA-site administration actually produce anything on its own? Most (all?) of the people doing the actual hacking are members of the forum rather than working for it. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with... Coding/Hacking challenges? Can't really see much else that would actually need a collaboration with XDA instead of with the coders/hackers directly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
we're doing something but we won't tell you what!

but it's exciting i promise you!! we've discussed it with VIPs (which you are not part of, noob xda forum user!) and you may or may not see something about it later and it may or may not be exciting at all in the end (such as: oh look we opened a sgs 2 section !11)

oh god how much i dislike marketing lol

please, if you're going to do something for the community, just say it straight or don't say it at all :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
very good step by samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stepsch:

Last time someone told similar things I had to pay more tax, the kindergarten was more expensive and the atomic power plant contracts were extended instead of using cheap and tiny water power from Norway.

hopefully good news to come!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'll keep this topic open as long as XDA members behave themselves in a polite manner

lets try to be constructive, and make the best of this endeavor with Samsung.

It's not an every day chance that you see Big corporations willing to listen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reinbeau:
There are only two now open, because of all the bashing - I'm cautiously hopeful that this is going to be a great thing, Samsung actually listening.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
I'm sure the bashing and mob mentality being displayed here will endear the manufacturer to this community and force it to listen to us. People use some common sense and stop advertising just how uneducated and uncultured you are. Here we potentially have a manufacturer reaching out and testing the water, hoping to gather information from it's user community to better it's device and service to us but you idiots seem hell bent on driving them off. MORONS!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaju123:
Thank you so much Samsung for this recognition of our community, it means a lot and we all are thankful. Can't wait to see what comes of this.

Please keep us informed :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thecresta:
I'd like to think 2.3, with input and improvements from the 'XDA elite' (I'll name no names ;)).

But I won't be upset if this is not the case, nothing bad can come of this joint venture...

(and I know I shouldn't, but I had to laugh :D)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] j.go:
If ever something does come out of this, I think xda should have a "developers only" sub-section where devs can collaborate with manufacturers. Regular users can still read, but only devs can post. We shall leave it to the owners to decide who is a "dev" and who isn't. That should help keep the riff-raff out. I'm tired of seeing threads in the dev section filled with the same stupid questions over and over again.

Could be something you have on your phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Obviously there are inconsistencies amongst our cpu chips. Moral: don't bother overclocking. It is a bad idea for day-to-day use, considering there is no additional cooling.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caticorn:
It's just the nature of CPUs. Manufactured in the exact same way, different models will still suffer varying results, hence binning.
[A7 General] sbk613:
Installed the Dexter upgrade 1.2. Update went flawlessly. Followed all the steps outlined in earlier posts. Now have Calendar!!!! and market icon. When I try to add my gmail account I get the following message -

"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server."

I can sign into my gmail account through the browser...but can't seem to connect via the "add a google account" or through the gmail icon (which was not a problem before the upgrade.)

Also tried to set up a new gmail account. Get the same message.

Any ideas?
[A7 General] adamofthestoffels:

[A7 General] sbk613:
Time and date are set properly. But I switched to automatic just in case...

Still get the same message. Worth a try though. Thanks.

Market issues

I am having the same issue with the google / gmail account setup. It does not appear to be connecting through the wireless when connecting to google. I have let the inital connection fail then it sets up the wireless and that gives the message about not being able to connect to data services (cell network). I can browse with the browser fine and is otherwise normal but will not set up google accounts. Did the factory wipe and the install went great without any other issues.
[A7 General] thatstringguy:
Cannot get to market HELP!

Ok this is a major problem, market won't allow you to sign in with your google account. Ever since the update to 1.2 is like they put a lock on the market! I wiped both the user settings as well as the cache before updating to 1.2 and I am still locked out. Can anyone clarify what I am doing wrong?!
[A7 General] sbk613:
still not working

OK...came to my office and tried a different wireless network..not that I thought that was the problem, but anything is a shot. I have wiped the cache, etc. et.c

Still a no go.

All the workarounds that I have found use You Tube...but A7 doesn't have You Tube and no other sites that I can access offer it.

Since this thread isn't on the "developer" part of XDA not sure if anyone who can help is seeing it.

Here's the upside...I didn't have market before..so I haven't lost anything except a lot of time. ;)
[A7 General] talcrd:
Has anyone gone back to the previous mod version to see if it doing the same thing? Could it be an issue with Google and not the mod?
[A7 General] sbk613:
I have not done that...but will try it tonight. I had othe problems with 1.1...FC on both sound and brightnes and the calendar, so I went right to 1.2 after that rather than load anything back onto the device.
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
This has been happening since yesterday. the g tablet section is having the same issue, as are many other I'm sure. Google seem to be screwing with the market.

[HTC Inspire 4G] alton987:
I was surprised that after using a captivate to play back 720p MKV files that the inspire would struggle so much with these files. I have tried almost every video playback application in the market and all stutter with 720p files. Is there a chance this will change or was their something special with the captivate ad 720p files?

The files are H264 L3.1 MKV's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] h_22_accord:
having the same problem as well, i transfered over a simple dvd rip and the playback wasnt terrible but it wasnt flawless 30+ fps like on the captivate, gonna try to convert using handbrake hoping that it will make a difference lol. Captivate played everything perfect even 1080p blue ray movies, kinda disapointed if there is no fix for this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ekerbuddyeker:
Rock player seemed better but no question that Captivate playback is better.

Dissapointed as well, the captivate played mostly everything I threw at it great, this one has some trouble, try V Player though, seems to be the best for me.

other than CM7 and Gingerbaked which are both 2.3 they are all 2.2.1 or FroYo ROMs

I have an Evo and my buddy just got the Inspire. One big thing I noticed is there is no option to enable installing APKs from unknown sources. Ive checked every setting menu and it is nowhere to be seen!

Any info on this? I found a desktop work around, but his swype beta wont work with the desktop workaround.

Att block this, use sideloading or root the phone. If u get the right swype version, it will work with sideload.

the sideloading only got me the installer, but then the installer needs to download the rest of it, and i cant due to the unknown sources. thats really my (well HIS) only problem. i get the installer o there but then cant do **** with it
[HTC Inspire 4G] jpounds7:
I had the same problem on my Inspire, but this thread has the solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6798357

Since you already have the installer on there (like I did), you just need to follow the instructions in that thread from when you get the blocked install error.

Good luck!

So I successfully rooted my phones recently using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045 and everything worked fine until I screwed up a rom flash and sent it into a looping boot. Now my pc only recognizes it as qualcomm three times after I select recovery from bootloader so I cannot boot the Amon Ra Recovery. Also I get fives vibrates and the blinking led if it doesn't go into bootloader.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemaldo:
Have you tried not using your computer volume down button and power button puts it into bootloader then scroll to recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventer289:
Try reflashing your recovery. Go to the Amon Ra thread and grab the PC36IMG.zip. Put it on your SD card root and then boot into the bootloader. Press volume up to flash it once it prompts you.

I dont think i can access my sd card though.

How can/will this help? I already had my battery out for a little while earlier actually.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
You need to put your SD card in an adapter so you can connect it to your computer, open it up and just click and drag the file in it. Once on the SD card, if you boot using volume down, the phone will automatically look for that file first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George.s9999:
Ok well I just realized that on the bootloader screen it say s-on and I couldn't get PC36IMG to work...it doesn't ask if I want to do anything with the file it checks it then nothing happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventer289:
Then you aren't rooted. Try putting the stock pc36img.zip on your SD to boot back to the stock rom, and then use unrevoked.

Actual Help

Alright let me give you some help: The same thing happened to me. Download the Autoroot method here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838448&highlight=autoroot

get to the screen with the red exclamation point and make sure your phone is plugged in

get into the autoroot v2.3 folder and select StartRecovery.bat.

if the deamen fails then you need to go into your computers Task Manager and stop adb.exe in processes

then try StartRecovery.bat again until you can get it to boot a temporary recovery on your phone

From here, start up your USB within the recovery and transfer the URFSOff.zip file from within the AutoRoot v2.3 subfolder called res.

You can also transfer the PC36IMG.zip image I posted below to your SDCard just to make sure its there and good to go... This is the newest RA recovery (i think 2.3).

Go ahead and flash the URFSoff.zip file from within the temporary recovery. This will give you S-Off on the bootscreen allowing you to flash the recovery.

Turn you phone off and boot into bootloader by pressing power and volume (sorry at this point i really don't know how in dept I need to be).

When the bootloader starts up it should automatically look for the PC36IMG.zip

It will find it and load it up then ask you if you want to update the recovery...go ahead and do this...

I would not go ahead and reboot your phone upon the prompt instead get back to the bootloader by selecting no (i think its volume down).

Now you should select Recovery and you should have a rooted full recovery to allow you to flash a custom rom. Just download any rooted rom...and use USB toggle to load it to the SD. Let me know if you need any help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George.s9999:
Am I supposed to just simply run this file as an administrator? Because that did not work...I apologize for any stupidity for I am very new to all this.

Unzipped it to a common folder and then just go into the folder to find all the files....you may have to run as an administrator but I don't know....make sure you have HTC sync and Android sdk installed.on your comp too.

Hey members,

Newb here to the forums and wanting to get regular with posting and such. I was on sprint users and have moved over to tmobile on a family plan and signed up during the FREE PROMOTION. I got 3 lines for Wife, MIL, and Me. We went with 2 my touch 4g for the ladies and I picked up the G2.

I was really sad to see that rooting would be very tricky using ADB compared to EVO like my brothers. I found a quick and easy method using terminal and preset images. I loaded up nightly build for cyanogen vision build 37. Overclock to 1.3ghz and using 1500mhz EVO battery modded. I plan to pick up a mugen battery but wanted to use what i had lying around the house for Sh*ts and giggles.

I have 12 more days left to swap out for any other model in store and only thing that looked decent was mytouch4g. With the latest roms and slight overclock i am happy with performance and build quality (wish hinges were slight bit stronger and held in place:(). Should I bother looking at any other models in the next 12 days. Seems like all the next gen phones will be out in next 2-4 months and the deal i got was really nice. I paid $100 up front for each phones and with that we got free accessories, 15% off monthly bill and free activation. The kicker is we get $200 back in mail in rebate per phone so that should help with modding costs :D

Any recommendations at all on MIUI rom versus a decent Cyanogen rom that i should try next or any other rom for that matter. I was very glad that with those 4 links i was able to be up and running in matter of couple hours and was able to spend the rest of my time with baby boi versus ADB :p

thanks
