[Nexus S General] Tinnitus:
I'm in the same boat. Currently using a HTC Desire (custom rom) - but due an upgrade. I'm torn between the Nexus S and waiting for the Galaxy S2. I like that the S2 is lighter and thinner plus has a nice big screen but the cost may not be worth it if it's cheaper to get the Nexus S.

I'm guessing that we'll be able to put custom roms on the S2 so I'm not too bothered about the whole stock Android thing - although I do like the idea of having a 'pure' Google phone.

If I was to get the Nexus S on a two year contract, do you guys think it has another two years of life left in it? it's not like I'd be hammering it with games and stuff.

The S2 is tempting but it could be a while before it appears and might end up costing a fortune...

Meh, what to do.

Does anyone know if boot/shutdown animations for DL09 work with EB01? I loaded SC 2.3 and the EB01 voodoo kernel. After adding the midnight theme, i noticed there was a boot animation.

Thanks in advance!

Got this phone from a friend and according to the software version it's running Gingerbread, on boot it's telling me it's Swift Droid, Cyanogen mod 7..

I'm very new to all this so I have no clue what this means but the touch screen is off calibration and I can't find the option to recalibrate it..

What does calibrating the screen do??

Goππa ®o©k & ®o//
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
As far as I know, It basically aligns your finger to a point on the screen, for example, when you put pressure on a certain location, the calibration app detects this and then translates this into a 'pointer location' on the screen, so it can detect where your finger is and/or where its input will be placed on the screen.

[Droid Eris General] 5thAgent:
I switched to the Incredible a few weeks ago, and I already miss all the eris devs and users. The eris was released as an underpowered, crippled device, and the amazing devs here at xda changed that. I would have been really unhappy with my phone if I hadn't been able to flash this and that every other day.

The Incredible is nice, and I finally have MIUI, but I can't help but miss conap, decad3nce (I think I put the 3 in the right place), kaos, and tazz. Thanks to all of you for keeping me sane for the year or so I had my eris.

Hi i have rooted my wildfire from 2.1 to 2.2 froyo and since i've make this, when i charge with the phone off, the phone freezes: the phone will not turn on and the green led is not seen but only red led which remains on. I am forced to remove the battery every time I turn on the phone after charging.

How can i fix this? I have also tried to flash other radio images, but without success.

Who can help me?

Turn your a7 off. Then push the power button to turn you a7 on. Then quickly let go of the power and then press and hold it again. A message will apper saying hold power button for 5 seconds to enter Recovery mode. There you will have the option to wipe/clear data. Continue your 1.2 update instal.

[About XDA developers] rgregg504:
Although some members may get p*ssed maybe one phone forum at a time. Yeah those who have to wait till you get to their phone may not be happy but it should be less chaotic if the thread is limited to a particular phone.
[About XDA developers] othan1:
My suggestion:

1. Be specific in your post. If you don't want us asking questions to which you've already composed answers, please post the questions you have so we don't repeat them. We cannot read your mind when you say, "I have your questions so don't ask the same ones."

2. Designate a moderator solely to that post. Probably not feasible, but if the moderator can make it primary focus, it can be kept civil and clean. A little work, but it could help the community.

3. While moderating, do not delete people's posts. If a question is posted that is being considered by SamsungJohn, simply replace the text with "Question is being addressed" or "Content does not benefit thread"

People are extremely disappointed in the whole communication realm amongst Samsung and Sprint so of course they're going to be a little raw. That's why it's extremely important to be VERY SPECIFIC in what you have and what you are looking for.

Next post example: "Here is the list of questions I will be addressing soon: 1) 2) 3), etc. Outside of those questions, are there any others you'd like addressed?"
[About XDA developers] daryelv:
My suggestion would be to have a live "meeting" that is controlled and moderated by a few moderators here at XDA. Users could log-in, forward their questions to the moderator, and they would forward to SamsungJohn. This would remove all the questions about "When" that everyone wants to ask and instead focus on what SamsunhJohn wants to support in the "How".
[About XDA developers] Ex0d0s:
I would doubt SamsungJohn is going to answer questions on the fly. He needs to time I guess to see if he can answer such questions. Actually I don't recall him saying he was going to answer any questions. He just wants us to ask questions that would benefit Galaxy S phones. Bug or defects that the phone may have.
[About XDA developers] rgregg504:
Probably would be best to put it in the hands of moderators. They can weed out the repeat questions and all the where is froyo questions and maybe just pm a clean list of questions instead of having a thread that's gonna go straight to hell.
[About XDA developers] Ex0d0s:
othan1 has the best suggestion so far. :cool:
[About XDA developers] riceknight:
Unfortunately, with the gigantic amount of negative feeling about Samsung right now, I don't think its wise to do any Q&A before a Froyo source is released. Thats when technical questions will be much more relevant.
[About XDA developers] dwallersv:
This experiment failed for two main reasons, each the fault of each "side" respectively.

John came here with apparently good intentions, and raised a lot of hope. Initial response by most in the community was cordial and polite, if skeptical.

Then, gargantuan failure #1: John created substantial anticipation and excitement about some as-yet-secret "HUGE" announcement. When it turned out it was simply a reiteration of his presence, and role here, it was understandably an enormous let-down. It also, quite understandably, made a lot of people angry, feeling they had been played and duped.

John, this was entirely forseeable. Really. Obvious. If you understood that the hype ahead of the actual was mismatched, and you did it anyway, that doesn't speak well for your credibility.

If you did not understand how completely discordant the hype was and the actual announcement, then it demonstrates a naivete so profound that credibility is also severely damaged.

Mistake #2 was on the part of the community. In all it's anger and rage over mistake #1, the community was ridiculously unreasonable regarding questions and demands in response. Each of the SamsungJohn threads was pummeled with dozens of questions, and then criticism for lack of answers in a timespan of 1-2 hours. How utterly childish and ridiculous.

A 24-hour commitment to get answers back would be extraordinary. It takes time to get to the right people, get enough of their time to explain the issue, and then completely understand the answer. I'd find even a 48-hour response commitment to be more than fair.

So, in summary, from my perspective (that and $2 will get you a cup of coffee) Samsung blew it again by not understanding and/or taking this community seriously. The community blew it by being a bunch of hypersensitive hyenas.

I hope on the next attempt we can be civil, and actually accomplish something
[About XDA developers] alphadog00:
This whole interaction failed because Samsung still has no idea what they are doing:

1. SamsungJohn says he has been watching the forums

2. If he has been watching, WHY does he need anyone to post technical questions

3. The problems with all the Galaxy S phones are well documented - here and with Samsung

4. Samsung offers no real support and so they think a forum will help them organize suppport issues

5. Samsung is more concerned with selling product then fixing issues

6. He offered nothing from Samsung to start this - Samsung should be extending an olive branch (the technical equivalent anyway) but they gave us nothing

7. Samsung changed their message from "Froyo by End of year" to "coming whenever"

8. Customers have lost faith and are moving on

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.

Most of us will not let ourselves be fooled twice. I am tired of technology companies promising fixes and not delivering.

And that is why they posted here. So they can spread the 'outreach' news.

They know the issues. They've known the issues since August. Coming here and asking us what the issues are without even hinting anything will annoy most of the Galaxy S userbase.

Add to that, the 'huge' announcement was a thread to ask us what the issues with the phone are?
[About XDA developers] Holliday:
Me thinks John needs to be a bit more careful with the words he chooses. Very poor choice.

Huge would be telling us that 2.3 is on the way or we are all getting free upgrades to the Nexus S. Thats huge.

Telling us you are a liason from Samsung trying to bridge the communications gap is not huge. Thats to be expected from a professional company such as yours. Do no expect us to jump for joy over things you are expected to do.

[About XDA developers] skeeterslint:
I really think before SamsungJohn posts a Q&A thread he really needs to lay out ground rules specific to what he can talk about and what he can't.But really I think that without being sble to ask about future updates like froyo and other fixes for our phone there really is no point in even putting up a Q&A thread because the only stuff we all care about we are told not to ask about so it really is a pointless jesture.Othan1 pretty much hit the nail on the head with his post of suggestions but knowing what can be asked along with that would go a long ways to keeping things on track and not turning the thread into a mess of pissed off people.

[About XDA developers] Auzy:
My concern here is that the forum is being broken up, into elite users, and peasants. Those of us who aren't part of the elite group, are being treated like don't deserve to know whats going on. Either everyone has an equal say, and have access to the same information, or we might as well switch to iphone (because Apple doesn't let us know what's going on either).

This whole matter is being treated by both parties incredibly poorly. I understand it's a big move for both parties, but it's disturbing that a move which is apparently related to improving transparency, simultaneously is being done behind closed doors !

The elite have already been told by samsungjohn via IRC and are bragging about knowing the "huge announcement" but will not pass on the information. That's fine. It's a free country and it's XDA's message board; I have no complaints.

I'm not part of the elite, though, so I will have to wait with the rest of the peasants before I know. It's probably going to be a HUGE letdown for those of us who don't develop.

[About XDA developers] w98seeng:
There are two parts to this Samsung / SGS fiasco, the software part where some people don't have an OEM release of FroYo while others are on version 2.2.1. If you are going to offer updates, make sure everyone gets them at the same time.

Then there is the hardware problems that have plagued the phone since it's release. The GPS issue, the internal SD card problem and the lagging issues.

Is Samsung really wants to help people with these issues, they have to attack the problems separately.

I am not surprised in any way that the samsungjohn fiasco happened. How many posts are there that say "Help, I've just bricked my phone because I was stupid or lazy and didn't read anything about flashing the SGS before I flashed my $500 phone"? How many people have updated to FroYo and then the next day asked when Gingerbread was coming out? People are not responsible enough on a forum to be any help in a situation like this. Most people are here for their own good. How many people have been "thanked" in a post? This is a good way to see who contributes and who leeches information.

On the other hand...

I don't remember Microsoft ever saying, "Hey, we'll upgrade your software for free". Yes, Android is an open source OS, but that does not mean that it is free to develop. I am sure Samsung spends a lot of money developing Android for their phones. Be happy that they are updating the OS and stop *****ing about late updates like a bunch of spoiled brats. The SGS was advertised with Android OS, v2.1 (Eclair) and that it was upgradable to v2.2, not that Samsung was obliged to do it.

[About XDA developers] optima2004:
The Galaxy S is supposed to be a High end Phone made to compete against the iPhone, if they dont feel obliged to give it regular updates for the life of the phone then im afraid they have lost BIG time.

If the Galaxy S ends at 2.2.1 I will never by a Samsung again... may never buy Android again!

Dont understand why they dont just keep up, sure some things may not work due to the phones Hardware limitations but having your brand free from fragmentation will keep customers coming back.
[About XDA developers] Northern.dj:
For one its not going to end at 2.2.1 we may have to wait for the update as there using it to sell the phones. What most of you failed to realize is as a non branded user i get my updates when Samsung say there out. Samsung admitted when the Nexus s was launched they were fed up of Networks messing around with there firmware. Vodafone users are waiting and needing the 2.2.1 update, Orange users are still on 2.1. Samsung need to get a grip and be in-charge of updates.

After all if we all got updates on time most of us would not be kicking off and looking for some one to blame well its the people making the big bucks the networks that are to blame.

I can see why Samsung would want to open a dialog with XDA but the last thing XDA want is for every one ganging up on him, Yes were all brassed off as to what is going on but all we can do is to post on here and other forums People power does work when used properly, we need to give the guys a chance at XDA yes may be the big guys no what is going on But we will find out.

The Galaxy S was and still is a big part of Samsung it made them a player again in the phone market and the development of it is down to every one who has one. i no there are guys on here that work for Samsung but no one will find out who they are but they do listen all the problems i have had have not been with the phone but the network and its them that need sorting out
