I'm quite suprised about everyone toting ios as excellent when this is there update procedure....

And then they put out products like this....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
^^Ho damn son! LMAO!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigriot:
If you can't stand your phone so much why are you still holding onto it? Not everyone was meant for android. I think you should just make the switch to iOS since you obviously think it's the dogs danglies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Blondasisko:
Many new custom roms do not require lagfixes, even revert back to rfs, like criskelo's that I use. And it is smooth. Soon CM7 will come and we will be able to see potential improvements without original updates from Samsung. As stepsch wrote on the first page: "But it makes lots of fun to brick it and get it back to live again." So instead of *****ing find your own way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oggy059:
2.3?hope so...2.4?almost impossible....samsung galaxy spica sold to public with 1.6 and only got 2.1 update, no froyo....same thing might happen to SGS too...plus, they just released the froyo to evo & fascinate....maybe the middle of this year or later....even there isn't many Gingerbread update(seems like nexus s only for now..) for the other model(notably,nexus one..)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] khazenbosch:
Did this person tell you if the distribution of gingerbread will be done with KIES or over the air? The last samsung firmware is capable of the latter.

Also, will this gingerbread-version include the 4 samsung hubs found on the Samsung galaxy s II?

Thank in advance!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunjar:
Yeah such is the case with technology, one product will always have more or less different features than the other. Nothing new. Im talking about releasing updates relative to the platform and/or company. Not particular features of interest/use.

Re-read my post. Where did i state that i have a problem with Android platform? Being able to see individual pixels on the devices screen is my issue but not enough to make me change device. Locked into 24mnth contract, and would be rather unwise to shell out for a sim-free handset when many are free on contract.

Just hope i continue to receive updates thats all. Or is hoping for updates regarding a Samsung device forbidden?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
All I can say about updates:

Unless the iPhone 5 turns out to be the second coming of Christ, I'll definitely be getting a Galaxy S II(it comes close to perfection when it comes to what I want from a phone)! No freaking way am I going to go with a pentile screen ever again! Can't wait to see it first hand..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
the thing i dont understand is why every body has complained about samsung and delayed updates but they still stick with samsung when they release a new phone theres going to be better phones coming out thats makes the galaxy s 2 rubish and they will have quad core... im never getting another samsung phone ive had the galaxy portal and the galaxy s never again

bye samsung when my contract runs out
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
First off, check out how the "competitions" is holding as far as upgrades... Grass always seems greener on the other side, but most of the time, IT IS NOT! Most HTC's devices are still running 2.1 or barely got 2.2 (desire just got it... after samsung and while it has similar hardware as the Nexus One). Same goes for Sony, LG, Motorola, etc!

As for iOs, when it's released, you get bug or comathose on older devices... sure, works like a charm on the latest and greatest iDevice but it won't work fine on iOlderDevice until Apple has sold enough iNewShitTheyWantYouToBuyFirst.

Honestly, I think the thing the SGS most suffer from is it's popularity... So much wining and PMS's users out there, it's unbearable...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
I dont understand why some ROMs remove lag fixes - going back to rfs. Doesnt Gingerbread officially use ext4 anyway?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ogzon:
As many said before – I am really satisfied with 2.2.1…(and custom ROM’s) But..

I would like to see Gingerbread on SGS if it is going to be a little bit faster/smother – and most important – if it is true, about battery life (last longer with 2.3)

Perhaps Samsung is slow with updates and customer care but – be honest, just one look on this wonderful display and you can’t resist it’s beauty .. :)

Then I HAVE to mention – multimedia capabilities !!

Someone was talking about transferring to HTC.. Come on.. ALL my closest friends are on HTC Desire and I LOVEE to play with them showing them what all kind of formats (music & video) this MACHINE can play !!

And it’s doing that perfectly, without any glitches (You all already know all that) :)

So with 2.3 we will still have all that, faster phone, better battery life, front camera usable (as I understand you in previous posts) and i don’t know what else – will see.. :)

PS:

Rajuki – thanks for info from your friend..

Hope die last..:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
Samsung has done a lot of things right in TouchWiz ( yes I prefer TouchWiz over AOSP because of the added functionality it provides ). If they had released the Galaxy S with GPS functioning correctly ( Mine is functional now after applying fixes here in xda, and the main problem with GPS seems to be AGPS implementation and not hardware's fault ) and with the optimized RFS driver then we would all be ok with it. Samsung now has the chance to make it right with Gingerbread ( and possibly Ice Cream :) ) Let's hope they are listening now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
Updates have absolutely nothing to do with Samsung, all the latest updates are available, it's up to the carriers to allow the update to your phone - US carriers are particularly bad so blame your carrier, not Samsung.

I'm tired of Samsung bashing when it's the US Phone companies that are the bad boys...

I'm off now to sam firmware...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hero Yu:
I agree with the above comment, I'm in europe and been running 2.2 for months and now I'm on 2.2.1 blame your respective carriers not samsung.

How about a little faith and respect? Even if he did name names, would it make his statement any more true or false? This is an internet forum - everything on it should always be taken with a little scepticism anyway.

Thanks rajuki. Im looking forward to Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rajuki:
That's the way. Of course I can't go all guns blazing Rambo and really reveal identity of an employee who is my best pal and has given me intel every now and then.

Obviously if someone decides to think its a speculation then I can't really do anything- so be it but he has the official RC installed on his device, believe it or not. And its under QA at the moment.

Official Samsung update to 2.3

I found nice news at golem.de

http://www.golem.de/1102/81725.html

They say, Samsung will release the official 2.3 update at the end of march. So it will be the first one after the Nexus One.

We will see...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] woeds:
Could you ask him if Samsung changed anything besides the upgrade to 2.3? Like the filesystem, new version of touchwiz, etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 4ltair:
According to GSMArena, HTC has promised 2.3 for 4 phones, including the original Desire.

So the grass seems to be a little more greener on the other side ;) ...

But let's hope that Samsung will release the 2.3 update, for the sake of my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkanius:
And did you see the date? They will get then in june. And that's if everything goes smoothly. I came form an HTC hero and I had to wait a YEAR to get my official 2.1 update. So no, they are all the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
It takes a LOT of effort to customize and test a release for just one device. Every manufacturer has many devices. Google is coming out with releases quicker than the manufacturers can handle it.

The manufacturers need to learn from this and setup everything needed for quick turnaround of a release, then all their devices would feel more secsy and their users would love them more.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fullerms:
Or they can stop messing around and let us update to the plain vanilla release when Google makes it available. The brand specific customisations like touchwiz can be released when they are ready and for those who are interested.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
Or... they could try testing it first.
[Android Software Development] bassmaster:
Hi all

I would like to know if it's possible to update a third party application without user action.

I noted that the android market can self-update the installed apps. The user is not asked about an acknowledgment.

I don't want to offer my self-coded app in the market. I found a way to update this app from my homepage, but the user must this affirm.
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
you could make a service that runs when the phone boots up that checks whether a new version exists, and if it does it downloads it.
[Android Software Development] bassmaster:
thanks for your help.

That's not the problem. The download and the install works fine. All I want is to get rid of the dialog asking the user whether he want to update or not.
[Android Software Development] winwiz:
sorry ignore, misread the question
[Android Software Development] bassmaster:
my application is not available on the market. it's a business applikation only used by our company. therefore i don't want to upload it to the market.
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
oh I get you. I know it must be possible because like you said the market can do it, but I don't know how, sorry.

ill do some digging and see what I can find.
[Epic 4G General] Zzim:
OK so in the samsung task manager I have a Sprint Updater running and I have never seen this before. I have had my wifi on this whole time and untill I shut it off and connected to 3g this app started running.

For people who dont know how to get to the sprint task manager hold down the home button at the home screen and hit the "task manager" button when the window pops up.

Anyone else get this running on their phone I am guessing that my phone just started the update.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Sprint updater pops up time to time when the phone begins checking for an update. It has an internal timer I believe. Every couple of weeks or so, I see it random times.

This may be different and good though.:)

[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
I saw that somewhere else. Why does he want people to PM him?
[Epic 4G General] camarojones:
Because before you update, you can pull the update from your phone, and he can get it set up for everyone to use.

That's what we are all here waiting for.

After you update, you'd have to do a full system dump to get the data, instead of using Sammy/Sprint's update file.

I think this will run each time you reboot your phone. I just rebooted and saw it in background apps in system panel.

Dear all,

I received a MID X5A tablet as a present.

Since I don't use it much, I'd like to resell it.

I'd like to perform a factory reset so that all my data

are wiped out, but trying the Settings-->Privacy-->Factory Reset

doesn't work (it is a known issue for this kind of tablet).

I'm looking for an easy solution to wipe the data and uninstall everything.

I've read that probably the easiest way it is to re-flash the Android 2.1 Rom.

But if there is any faster and easier method I'll gladly like to know.

Can someone help me with this operation?

I need to do it using adb or fastboot since on my computer

I have Ubuntu.

Also I have no idea where I can find the right rom and how

to install it from the scratch.

I searched extensively on google and on various forums

but all the solutions I have read or don't work (or rather I'm not

able to make them work), or are a bit ambiguous.

I'm a newbie so I'd need a clear guide.

I know it can be risky to perform such an operation.

But I really think if you never try to make such things you never learn :)

also I really don't use the tablet, so broken or un-selled it's quite te same to me :) I promise I won't blame anyone but me if I mess things up!

Thanks a lot for your help in advance,

Cheers, -Luca

cd /home/htc/

apktool d DeskClock.apk ./out

change the /res/values-de/strings.xml and save

adb shell & cd /system/app & mv DeskClock.apk DeskClock.old & ^ctrl+D

adb push /home/htc/out/dist/DeskClock.apk /system/app/
