[General Questions and Answers] Red Baron 44:
Hi everybody,

I am new to this forum and I have hesitated for a long time before I signed up. The reason for my hesitation: I didn't want to start off crying for help. Nevertheless here I am. :o After about a week of searching the www I thought what the heck. That is the purpose of a forum, share knowledge.

I am a (German) retiree living for many years in El Salvador, I’m old but because of my curiosity I feel quite comfortable with modern technology. I have installed and configured Garmin Mobile XT (which I found on the web while looking for answers :D) and it works perfectly. :cool:

For about 10 years I have been a customer of TIGO (Millicom) and never got anything for free from them. So I decided to ask for something and I got a free Phone (he who doesn’t cry, doesn’t suckle ;)). It’s a Samsung SGH-i637, non-touch-screen, in your neck of the woods known as Jack (internet wisdom) and distributed by AT&T and with a certain keyboard layout (AT&T button).

The OS is WIN Mobile 6.1 Standard and I want to use voice commands. Every lead I found refers to that particular button to activate that option. Now, my phone doesn’t have that button, it has the Windows Live Messenger button instead which, surprise surprise, takes me to Windows Live Messenger. Some people said to look in Start-Settings-System. No such thing in my phone either.

Just as I have surfed the net for days I have done the same of all the menus in my phone.

Now my questions:

How to access that option?

Does WIN Mobile 6.1 support that option?

Do I have to upgrade to WIN Mobile 6.5?

Is an upgrade recommended? (Pros/Cons)

I really hope that some merciful soul can take this burden off my shoulders.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
Ok, I got recovery installed and now I cant get it to flash a rom.

First of all, when I go to flash it, it says:

Is that normal????

Then when I select the one option that says yes it says

Ive never seen this before on my EVO and Im just very confused. :(
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
Every time I've ever gotten that error it's been a bad download, or a simple reboot recovery fixed it, one of the two. :)

And yes, that's normal. Clockwork is, shall we say, a little more "noob-proof." You'll get used to it after awhile.

[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
Thanks, I thought there was something wrong with my recovery for whatever reason, I never used clockwork before.

I re-downloaded the rom and it worked, I had never ran into that before.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
You shouldn't that often. I only have a few times, but you never know. If the dev posts md5 sums, its a good idea to compare before flashing anything.

Hope you enjoy the rom!

Hi,

i own a Galaxy S

the model is GT-I9000

Kernel : 2.2

base : I9000BUJP5

FROYO : BUJP8

Which CF-Root can I use to backup my orginal before installing a new Rom ?

Kind Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcon10:
This is vodafone i see. I had the same before i flashed . Just go with darkys resurrection 9.2 its all in there. Just follow the video. U cant go wrong. It does all the cf root for you. Just make sure if u have kies go on process and kill the kiesopentray . Hope i helped
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcon10:
Itd the xx_xeu jpo. I asked this question when i had same letters buj for voda. Get the 1 with busybox. Then decided to use odin flash way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tournicoti:
Marcon10 : thank you for you reply.

the video is clear to install Darky's Ressurection.

It remains one topic that i would like to understand.

I didnt see anything in this video that tell us how to backup my original ROM.

In case my phone would be out of work and I would need to restore the original ROM to be able to exchange the phone with another one with my mobile operator.

This is why i asked which CF-Root to use ; or may be i'm wrong and have to use a Rom Manager instead ?

Finally i really dont see from which side I have to start ;)

the Final goal is to backup the original ROM before installing Darky's ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkalli:
See HERE on reinstalling your ROM​
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcon10:
That link has that for you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tournicoti:
Hi,

thanks for the link but i found nothing about BUJP8 or BUJP5 on the 32 pages of this thread :/

Is it the only way to proceed (downloading the "original" rom from somewhere else) ?

No chance to backup my actual Rom before migrated to Darky's ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tournicoti:
So I have to conclude that :

1) i cant backup my actual original rom

2) i cant find this original rom somewhere else

too bad :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcon10:
There are roms on here u can flash back to. There backed up on xda. Follow video tut on darkys resurrection. Make sure u can do 3 button combo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tournicoti:
Hi,

I saw the video and can use the three buttons as i already did it " to see".

But i really dont find the same rom of mine anywhere in the forum.

I also saw some others guys who asked the same question witout any reply.

But if you found a thread or post i missed let show me :)

Kind regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcon10:
Google ur rom . It will be some.where.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climdroid:
Hi all,

I discovered today that I cannot hear the voice of a phone call through 3rd party headsets or through another speaker device (hifi box, car stereo,...) I was wondering if anyone has found a way around this, either with an application, a custom rom or some manual hacking.

Please share your opinions ;)

Also it would be nice to change the answering method to automatic or to something that does not imply sliding buttons only when usb and headsets. This would make my phone convenient for use on my car!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climdroid:
found out that it works on recent speedmod. I had been on darky's 8.0 for too long.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
I've got an app that needs to handle Android versions 2.2.1 and above differently than 2.2. I'd rather not create two separate apps, but I haven't been able to find a way to identify what version of Android is running on the user's device.

Sorry if there is an obvious answer that I'm just missing, but I'm new to this and haven't been able to find an answer.

Thanks!

Brian
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syrenz:
Settings -About Phone, scroll down: firmware version?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
Thanks, but I need a way for my program to determine the Android version, not for a person to determine it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syrenz:
Yeah, I figured I was missing something :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
The problem is that the sdk version is the same for 2.2 and 2.2.1, and I don't know if the other strings are consistent across devices. It looks like string release could be anything, '2.3.2 CM7 RC1' or something like that.

Maybe it would be easier for me to just let the user adjust a setting themselves indicating what Android version they're on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonVT:
removed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
I'm just not sure how accurate parsing the string would be.

2.2 contains a Bluetooth bug that causes a system crash when disabling my program. The bug was fixed in 2.2.1. I have an ugly workaround in place to avoid the crash, but I'd like to handle 2.2.1+ with a cleaner method.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwcatalano:
Try This:

Build.VERSION_CODES vc = new Build.VERSION_CODES();

Build.VERSION vr = new Build.VERSION();

//v.RELEASE //4.0.3

if(vr.SDK_INT >= vc.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH){

//ICS AND NEWER & NEWER

}else{

//OLDER THAN ICS

}

vr.SDK_INT returns an integer value (the value of the current build on the tab where the app is running) which you can compare against a version code value (found here: developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html) for each release.

I use this in a mixed release production environment to turn features on or off based on the release.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
Is this just returning the SDK version integer though? I'm already doing something similar to enable/disable other features:

int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;

if (currentapiVersion >= 11){
// Do something for Honeycomb and above versions

} else{
// do something for phones running an SDK before Honeycomb

}

The problem is that there was no change in the SDK integer between 2.2 and 2.2.1. If this is returning the actual Android build then that is exactly what I'm looking for. Either way, thanks for the response!

Edit - after reading through the link you provided it appears that the build version codes are equivalent to the SDK integers I was using. I guess 2.2.1 just wasn't a significant enough release to warrant it's own build code / sdk int. Oh well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
How about SystemProperties.get() to check android version, pretty sure every version even minor has it's own different version id.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robberknight:
Yes, I think that is the way to go. I have ro.build.version.release on all my phones indicating the right version.

[Focus General] gregrey:
So i have the phone unlocked and custom ring tones and i also know the name of one of my ringtones i want to use as a text sound but they say there is no explorer for Samsung focus. If i know the name of the ringtone, is there anything i can do to use it? say changing something in the registry? the name is hooha! as the ringtone. thanks for all comments.
[Focus General] GoodDayToDie:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS\

Sound:string. The default on my phone is "\Windows\Alert-08.wma"

Changing this value should change the sound made on receiving SMS messages. If you have the ability to write multi-string values in the registry, you can also add entries which will show up in the GUI adding their filenames to

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\

Notifications:Multi_String.
[Focus General] __ow:
The system is a bit picky about the location of the sound file as well. Install directory of an app is a no go for example. Windir and My Ringtones are obviously whitelisted though.
[Focus General] gregrey:
So how would I know where my ringtone is located?

Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
[Focus General] gregrey:
Is ther an explorer for the focus yet?

Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
[Focus General] GoodDayToDie:
There's apparently an application capability manifest entry for installing ringtones, which I would guess gives access to the My Ringtones directory (although it could do something else like enable an API, or nothing at all). You could try using it.

You could also copy the file to the phone using Zune as just a music clip. Trying to find where it got put is non-trivial though; there's a small range of numbered folders it could end up in, and a range of numbered files under those folders. It might not work even if you got it right, too.
[Focus General] Verkunder:
I've found the Alert sounds under HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Notifications, but I can't add "Saywhat.wma" to Value Data, as in, I type it in and it won't let me save.

I'm guessing I need to:

1) Find where "saywhat.wma" is located

2) Somehow write it to Notifications

Any ideas? I added the file through Chevron's ringtone loader.
[Focus General] GoodDayToDie:
If you added it as a ringtone, the file is located at "\My Documents\My Ringtones\saywhat.wma" and you'll need that full value, with spaces but without the quotes (I believe, it might also work with them).

What's the problem when you try to save? Also, what registry editor are you using?
[Focus General] Verkunder:
I'm using http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593.

I've entered "\My Documents\My Ringtones\Saywhat.wma" and "My Documents My Ringtones Saywhat.wma" and it always jumps back to the home screen when I press Save.
[Focus General] jason.hamilton:
Might just be a typo but you put a space between Ringtones and Saywhat.wma
[Focus General] Verkunder:
So you're saying it should be "My Documents My RingtonesSaywhat.wma"?
[Focus General] gregrey:
i have also triedd and cant get it to work
[Focus General] gregrey:
well i noticed using advanced configurator you can select ring tones for sms but why dont any of the custom ring tones i added show up in the list?
[Focus General] ananzeh:
i think the best way to make it work is to rename ur custom sms tone to alert-01 then copy it to windows directory using touchexplorer(if its cabable to do so )...

unfortunatlly touch explorer is not working on my phone to confirm if this will work or not
[Focus General] gregrey:
i don't think there is a working explorer for the Samsung Focus
[Focus General] Verkunder:
Are custom alert tones DOA for non HTC devices? I've really gotten bummed having a cool ringtone and yet having a standard alert tone. :(
[Focus General] lucasryan:
I have tried a few times to get this to work on my focus with 2 different registry editors and it fails everytime i try. Maybe im not entering the correct path as it seams because it never show up. With the registry edit from the touchexperience site, after i make the edit and select ok for it to complete the edit the app exits out and goes back to the home screen. I also have tried with advance explorer and it did not succeed. I wonder if we have the correct path selected to write to and the correct location to select the sound we are wanting, if we use the samsung registry " that is being used to debrand the device " to write the edit, if we can figure this out and make it happen? When i try to add the tone for sms using samsung registry i get this error: please specify a correct integer

Does integer mean the same thing as value?
[Focus General] gregrey:
i got this to work on my focus using the wp7root tools to modify the registry.

i changed [HKEY_current_user\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS]

"Sound" = \My Documents\My Ringtones\whatever.wma

it works for sure for focus.

does anyone know the original value for:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Notification

i want to switch back to the default value
[Focus General] minori_aoi:
How do I copy the tones to the Ringtone folder in the first place ??
[Focus General] gregrey:
You have to have an unlocked device and use one of the ringtone programs on this site to transfer to the folder.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdss77:
Hi fellows!

I have a nexus one, witch should have 512mb RAM, but only shows 199mb.

I read that's because of the kernel, don't know if that's true...

Does anybody knows if there is a kernel or a intire ROM that runs all of the 512mb RAM? Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
ALL kernels and ROMs do, unless you're still stuck with Eclair (2.1). Read some more.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
If it run all 512mb ona rom, where is room for your data?:D

Reason it only show about 199 cause the rest is taken up by system apps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Please don't post if you're clueless. Unless he's referring to 200M of free ram, he's either on an ancient kernel or he's completely confused.

What you are referring to is storage, which has nothing to do with ram.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Yeah I read it wrong, my bad.
[Adam General] Sirchuk:
I found this on Notion Ink's blog.

Submit your email address and they'll add you to the list of the next pre-orders.

Sounds like they ran out of LCD models this time because the last batch was heavy on the Pixel Qi screens, so they ordered more of them for this batch but didn't receive as many orders as expected.

After reading the reviews of the PQi screens I probably wouldn't get one either.

Here's the signup link:

[Adam General] Sirchuk:

[Adam General] Sirchuk:

[Adam General] Meister_Li:
I did as well. Sadly, there are not LCD Adams left :/
[Adam General] -juanito-:
when the next pre order for adam lcd will be available ?
[Adam General] Sirchuk:
No idea usually takes a month a two though.
[Adam General] keitht:
The LCD models sell out very fast. I was lucky to get one. Based on my estimated ship date, I would guess next round to begin first or second week of March. I may be selling mine if I decide to get the Xoom instead. Not sure yet.

Estimated Shipping Date	25th February to 10th March 2011
[Galaxy Tab General] BubbaRob1978:
As above states, can anyone confirm this? I just returned the Verizon version because it's Bluetooth is locked down. I called a T-mobile corporate store but they could not confirm.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Good news!

I am typing this using Apple Bloetooth keyboard on Tmo Samsung Galaxy Tab. The keyboard model No is 1016.

You will need to scan for devices from the Tab and then enter pairing code using BT keyboard.

All arrows and number keys are operational. It is very unusual to work this way however very comfortable when need a lot of typing.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
I'm getting one! I have the at&t version so I will confirm if it works!
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
I am typing this on a mini wireless Mac BT keyboard. It is nice! Confirmed!
[Galaxy Tab General] da_in_sd:
Awesome! Im picking up an apple bt keyboard tommorow. I have t-mobile sgt.

[Galaxy Tab General] joop52:
The wireless apple mouse also works!
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
Do you have the mouse with the little scroll ball? I'm trying to figure out if the scroll ball actually works like in the browser.

I have tested the Apple Trackpad and it works fine, its just not the best choice for the tab. The Apple keyboard does worm but I always have trouble pairing it up. I have to literally try 10 times before it will actually connect.

From the Tab.

www.twitter.com/ayman07
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
The model you suggested has issues pairing, but the mini wireless BT does it very quickly. The arrow keys let me move to the buttons below the text input area. I am not sure I will need a mouse. The size of this keyboard makes me think I will take it with me when I travel. I am thinking about a stand for the tab now.
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
I am using the Apple BT keyboard model A1255 and it works perfectly.

I agree that pairing it was a little complicated, I was not sure what the meaning of the green flashing light on the keyboard was. I was not sure if the keyboard was in pairing mode or not.

But once it was paired, it picks up very quickly and works without fail.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
I have the A1314 model
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
Im glad I read this... I was not aware that the arrow buttons could be used to navigate.

I use Handcent for texting, and was not able to get over to the "send" button. Now after entering the text, I can right arrow over to the send button and hit enter!

Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Post any button finds here. I'm liking the keyboard for long writing sessions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2FR35H:
Im in no way shape or form a noob to rooting or installing custom roms. However, I do have a question about the effects of installing custom roms... I'm a install a custom rom tonight just to give it a go on my nexus before I send it in for an exchange but I don't want to do this if this is gonna hinder the update process entirely for my NEXT nexus s as well. So can anyone tell me if it does or not it would be greatly appreciated. Pretty much I still want to be able get OTA's on my soon to be new Nexus but am unsure if Custom Roming the original device will also affect the OTA process for my New nexus. :cool:

P.s. I feel its kinda lets say "weird" to have to make 10 posts before posting in the Dev area
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes Custom ROM will pretty much conflict with any OTA

if you want OTA stay stock
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you are NOT supposed to post in the DEV area to begin with...

only DEV should post in the DEV area
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
it should be noted that chances are the ROM devs will include the OTA in the ROM far before it actually gets pushed to your phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that is usually true with all other Custom ROMs, except with Bionix ROMs :p

Hi everyone,

So I'm a big fan of supercurio's work with Voodoo sound, but I'm also a semi-OCD theming/graphic design nerd, lol.

So I made a couple gingerbread style status icons, and found a way to enable them in the voodoo control app, and thought I'd share them for anyone else that's interested.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9401664/stat_notify_icon.png

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9401664/stat_notify_icon 2.png

Download whichever icon you prefer (please note, that the white space in both icons is actually "negative" space, so that will be transparent, and inherit the color of your status bar) and make sure its named stat_notify_icon.png

Then decompile the voodoo control app (I used apk manager), and browse to /smali/org/projectvoodoo/controlapp and open VolumeManager.smali

Change line 846 in VolumeManager.smali to:

const v9, 0x7f020002

Save and close that file, and navigate to /res/values and open Public.xml

Right after

<public type="drawable" name="icon" id="0x7f020001" />

Add the following line, then save and close:

<public type="drawable" name="stat_notify_icon" id="0x7f020002" />

Now copy the icon into /res/drawable-hdpi

Finally, compile, sign (zipalign if you want) and install.

Make sure you uninstall your old version first, or this will fail to install because of the signature mis-match.

Anyway, hope someone else likes this, and Supercurio is free to use either icon in the app if he wants.

Cheers everyone, =)

What's the best radio for the T-Mobile G2? I've been using the .17 radio and have been getting mediocre wifi signal. Should I use the stock t-mobile G2 radio? Also I have the 82.0000 hboot but it doesn't say I have eng-off. Is there a way to get eng-off without using the stock hboot on the wiki?
